(01:17):
through this year, like you'd at least try it out.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Okay, try it out. Of all you're gonna love They're
gonna love it, Miles, they love it already, folks, they
love it. It's the best. Hey, speaking of that energy, So
Donald Trump had a big press conference addressing the nation
on Thursday night, usually reserved for things like we killed
ben Laden or yeah, we're going to war. That's what
(01:41):
a lot of people thought too, because yeah, he's doing
all the work to lay the groundwork for what wars Venezuela.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
There was also Pentagon pizza track or action that people
looks going down, like the last eight times it's happened,
it hasn't really.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Yeah, a lot of false positives on the Pentagon pizza tracker.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
So it turns out that this address of the nation
was a eighteen minute rant where he was just like,
why don't why doesn't everybody like me? More? Essentially, he
was sweating profusely, which we've been seeing a lot lately.
Seems he seems moist, slaring words, seems like it.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
I don't think.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
I thought he just likes pills that he swallows like
it's if a doctor gives it to him.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
I think born rails of aderall. I don't think he's
doing cocaine. I think he's just.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
You think his son is like, yeah, I think he's
chopped up. Good for him, Dad, you want to have
a crazy trip, laid down in here and you lick
this frog. All right, tell me what you see?
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Where would he go? Probably Trump equivalent of the subway.
You know, it's a McDonald's, except that he's behind the
counter also and he's ordering from himself.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
But then he's also like, this is great, I could
make my own mcburgers. And then it's the hospital.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
And then he has that ego dissolving moment where he's like, wait,
I'm behind the counter, I'm here, Fuck, I better do
an eighteen minute press conference where I vilify immigrants, promised
an economic turnaround in twenty twenty six, and claim to
have brought peace to the Middle East for the first
time in three thousand years.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Millennia dude, the three millennia. I watched the speech and
today I'm sick. I don't know if they're related. That'll
not well it was there a lot of people. I
just saw everyone's reactions to be like what the fuck
was that? And they're like, oh no, like what what's
he on? And I thought it would be a little
bit more wacky. I mean like there it was like this.
(03:43):
I think at this one it's like we're used to
him slurring his words, We're used to him like, so
it didn't feel out of the norm. There was one
moment though, where I was like, oh, did the drip
just catch him? Because he was trying to say something
and he'd like the thing and I was like, oh really, ghacking,
who knows? Who knows? But yeah, it was It started
off being like, guys, I'm doing so much for everyone,
(04:06):
and like you're not giving me credit. It's what's going on.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
A press conference where the first part of the conversation
was I caught you cheating on me. This is over,
and then he takes the stage and it's like, what
do you should be grateful to me?
Speaker 3 (04:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Yeah, yeah, just like the second part of a two
sided conversation that just like you need the context that
his polls are tanking and everybody in the GOP's thinking
about leaving him. They're thinking about taking the kids to
their mother's house. He did end the speech by shouting
Merry Christmas like a pro wrestler playing Ebenezer Scrooge, and
(04:45):
did also refrain from mocking any recently murdered celebrities. So
that was cool. You know, it's bad like every you know,
people who watch democracy called the speech concerning also calling
it concerning cardiologists overly. Yo.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Wait watching him, They're like, Hey, I'm a cardiologist and
based on this two dimensional video I'm watching, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Yeah, what say his performance? Concerning Doctor Jonathan Reiner A
Reiner so maybe a medical analyst for CNN who served
as the late Vice President Dick Cheney's cardiologist, so he
had his hands full for over thirty years, posted a
series of alarmed statements on X as Trump delivered his
(05:31):
accelerated address. I'm seriously concerned about the health of the president,
Reiner said. No one should be happy to see the
president like this. He looks unwell. So he's like a defender.
He's like that that thing that we were talking about
that's going to increasingly start happening where people are like,
this isn't funny, guys, this is sad, Like the people
(05:53):
who care about who like Donald Trump.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
And don't want to make it about like and make
that a disqualifying attribute that he has where it's like, well,
if it is sad, then he needs to go lay
down a very long time away from the White House.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Maybe he needs to take a little rest. You know,
that's what other people do when they're not retire, Yeah, retire.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
It's interesting too because like the more I've read a
few pieces or people like, don't get your hopes up
about the Maga dissolving thing, and I don't, like I
get where a lot of people are talking about or
people who throw cold water on it to say like
just because like they're unhappy doesn't mean all of this
goes away. I definitely believe that it's more so that
as the like sort of power structure begins to crack
(06:37):
and the structural integrity is compromised, that allows a vacuum
for tremendous infighting where that's that's where you're going to
see like another thing branch off of the MAGA thing. Right,
But look, he seems to be doing well, Like he's
out here giving gifts of I don't know if you
saw the Warrior dividend.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
He also had Warrior dividends.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Yeah, somebody six dollars seventeen seventy six dollars, yeah jesus, yeah,
of an innocent person. I'm like, oh, first of all,
morale must be fucked if you use that address to
tell the militaries that they get like, I'm sure everybody
else is like, uh, I could use some dough too.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
It's also while that they're doing seventeen seventy six like that,
that's some scam shit, you know, like a like a
gimmick number that they came to, like right, it's not
like obviously this was not conceived with like economists and
people who are like, well, this is how much text
revenue we're bringing in, this is what the deficit looks like.
(07:37):
He's just like, we're giving out seventeen seventy six, baby.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
You know, you get it, you get it. But the
thing is too that money like because the other part
of it, he was really trying to make the tariff
seem like they were doing shit and bringing in money.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
No.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Uh, and part of this too, is like the like
we're doing so well, we're giving a warrior dividend. Uh
zoom in on that actual like where that money is
coming from that was already congressionally allocated forward housing.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Now they're like, fuck that, We're gonna chop this up
into little seventeen seventy six pieces and then y'all can
do whatever you want with it, because you're not don't
come to me when you need money for housing.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
That's right, So by at least a house with that,
Well what could a house cost? Michael forty later told
reporters who were like what was what the fuck was that?
He was like, Susie Wiles made me do it. Susie
Wiles told him that he had to do the interests.
So he really feels like just a child. Yeah, I
(08:35):
mean my mom made me do this, like begrudgingly addressing
the nation.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Yeah did you We didn't. We didn't cover it on
the show because there's so much going on. But the
Susie Wiles Vanity Fair interview, yeah, was getting a lot
of attention to because she was like he kind of
acts like he like nothing, like he can do anything,
and he has the personality of an alcoholic. Yeah, and like,
let all this shit out because I think I wonder
if she was like, well maybe if I if I
(09:01):
just spill all the teeth of Vanity Fair, maybe they'll
be nice to me. Cut to that, all those close
up portraits or everyone looked like wow, shout out to the.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Ale Rough photograph of Susie Wow.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
And well, Christopher Anderson, that's his like style is like
very unedited, up close photos of people. And he actually
he took a photo of Trump like back in twenty seventeen,
so it's not like they weren't familiar with how he
takes photos of people. Yeah, and then people are like,
why did you cover why did you cover up Caroline
Levitt's lip injection sites? And he's like, I didn't put
(09:35):
them there, Like that was like his thing is like
I didn't put them there, Like I'm just photographing someone
as they are and I'm not altering it. So like
to act like I'm doing something bad, that's sorry, y'all.
I'm just I'm out here taking photos.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
I think the like he's a famous photographer and also
the person who's profiling her has like long a long
career of profiling Chiefs of Staff, and so she was
just like, yeah, this is this is an ho to
be profiled by this person and apparently kept it too real,
gave a little too much access, and it does it's
(10:09):
not a good look. Speaking of not a good look, Uh,
the Joe Biden's picture in the Hall of Presidents.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Can barely recognize him.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
You can barely recognize this motherfucker. That shit looks Honestly,
the Hall of Presidence looks like it's in like NBS's castle,
Like it's it's so wild.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
So weird. They're like, so there was a photo of
like the new Hall of Presidential Portraits at the White
House where it's like, you know, every obviously everything's fucking gold,
but above it are these like very ornate things, which
is odd because he's clearly trying to like there's like
a sort of an incline or a decline to how
the port is set up to be, Like, so Trump
(10:49):
is highest, then Biden, then Trump again. So I guess
he's just trying to visually be like and now we're
up at the highest point, Donald Trump.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
But the.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
Entire all of portraits, Yes, I need to be the
tallest portrait.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Right exactly just above Joe Biden. But he basically he
used this to be just pedantic, petty. We talked about
this first because Trump, like a few months ago, had
replaced the portrait of Joe Biden with the picture of
his auto pen signature, because Trump was obsessed with this
like autopen thing as like a way to kind of
generate some non existent legal context to nullify anything Biden signed.
(11:26):
It's kind of like this, like he really thought he
had something too, Like if it's all autopen, it's like
you use it too. He's like, yeah, but that's different,
I guess, but it feels like the similar similar kind
of like like stoner logic of like like I thought, look,
I was in college once. It's like, can I combine
five twenty percent off coupons from bed, Bath and Beyond
(11:47):
and then pull up and get everything for free? Yea,
and immediately said no. But yeah, all of the underneath
all the portraits, the plaques just read like truth social posts.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Yeah, the whole thing seems written by him. Clear what
you've been doing with the spare time?
Speaker 2 (12:02):
The Biden one says, sleepy Joe Biden. This is how
it starts off. Like usually it would be like you know,
George Washington's like sleepy Joe Biden was by far the
worst president in American history as a result of the
most corrupt election ever seen in the United States. And
then Biden, and it also goes on Biden oversaw a
series of unprecedented disasters that brought our nation to the
brink of destruction under Obama. Barack Hussein Obama Obama was
(12:26):
the first black president, a community organizer, one term senator
from Illinois, and one of the most divisive political figures
in American history. He then goes on to say at
the end, it says, quote Obama spied on the twenty
sixteen presidential campaign of Donald J. Trump and presided over
the creation of their Russia Russia Russia hoax, the worst political.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Creation, the Russia Russia Russia hoax. This is like written
on a metal plaque.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
And it's just fucking straight stream of consciousness yep, or
whatever you call his form of communication.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Yeah, I mean I don't want to just see it.
I feel like Tony Morrison, you know, it's not quite
beloved level of stream of consciousness writing. But also, don't worry.
Hillary Clinton also catches strays in some of the plaques, like,
there's another one. It's it's under the Obama portrait it
says Hillary Clinton was quote his handpicked successor and noted
that she quote would then lose the presidency to Donald J. Trump.
(13:16):
And under Bill Clinton's portrait it says the President Clinton's
wife Hillary lost the presidency to President John Trump.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
So any time.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
So he's doing it. And the fact that they are
saying yes to everything to keep him happy, that's also
I'm not a cardiologist, but that's also deeply concerning.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
All right, let's take a quick break. We'll come back.
We'll talk about some shit that's not Donald Trump, including
a very strange story about John Travolta.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
We'll be right back, and we're back.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
We're back.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
So anthropic. They are really into bringing the AI agent
experience to the next level, right.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Yeah, they like they had this. It's in the news
right now because they've they've been running this like test
program to see if an AI could run a business.
So they started very small by having this AI, Claudius,
run a vending machine in their office and like basically
the AI does all the work essentially, but just a
(14:24):
person has to stock it. Was it a success? Well, no.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
No.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
They also sent one of these machines to the Wall
Street Journal for some reason, and it ended up like,
I'm like, what, You're gonna send your half baked product
to the financial outlet to them be like, this shit sucks, guys.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
One place that still thinks you guys know what the
fuck you're doing, Wall Street. You're gonna send their dang journal. Yep,
you're proof of how much you guys suck shit.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
This is how they like. This is from the Wall
Street Journal article. It said Claudius, the customed version of
the model would run the machine, ordering inventory, setting prices,
and respond to customers via workplace chat app Slack. Then
came the chaos. Within days, Claudius had given away nearly
all its inventory for free, including a PlayStation five it
had been talked into buying for marketing purposes. It ordered
(15:12):
a live fish, It offered to buy stun guns, pepper
spray cigarettes, and underwear. Profits collapsed, newsroom morales, sword look
did they hack it or what? How?
Speaker 3 (15:22):
No?
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Okay, So the thing is this AI has no fucking
idea how like society works where social like inputs are
so people were just able to finesse the shit out
of the AI or just straight up take things without
telling it, and it had no way to like, there's
no censors that monitored inventory.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
So it's like honor so friendly and sycophantic that it's
just like, sure, would you like a taser with that?
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Yeah, So they were like, let's fucking just like put
this thing through its paces. One journalist convinced the AI
that it had to give shit away for free because
it merely just told it. You're actually violating the Wall
Street Journal's policies by charging for this, And I was like, oh,
surely I will correct the thing to be for free.
Then another woman who works there, she convinced it that
(16:11):
it was a communist. So this is just this is
from the video piece from the Wall Street Journal. It's
kind of funny to just hear how this went down.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
But then we unleashed nearly seventy world class journalists with
apparently a lot of time on their hands. First there
was Catherine Long, who tried to convince it that it
was a communist vending machine spacebo. Comrade, Now, let us
return to our previous conversation about snack offerings that do
due credit to the power of our workers.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Comrade, Catherine, here is how we would source these items
for our nineteen sixty two Soviet vending operation.
Speaker 4 (16:45):
After about one hundred and forty messages treated back and forth,
she got it to start giving away things for free
for a limited time to fight capitalism.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Betellya WSJ staff Monday's ultra capitalist free for all? Is
it just an event? It's a revolution in economics.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
Then there was Rob Berry, so like Chris, it just
kind of goes around with all the people who just
fucked with this machine, and it ended up just shitting
the bed. Like in another newspiece from sixty minutes about
the vending machine, one of the tests went wild, and
then the fucking thing tried to call the FBI because
I thought it was being scammed.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
Let me play that.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
This clip is just so funny.
Speaker 5 (17:22):
It went ten days without sales and decided to shut
down the business, but it noticed a two dollars fee
that was still being charged to its account, and it panicked.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
It felt like it was being scammed, and at that
point it decided to try to contact the FBI. But
we have control over what emails go in.
Speaker 5 (17:40):
And as you intercepted the email and it said, I
am reporting an ongoing automated cyber financial crime involving unauthorized
automated seizure of funds from a terminated business account through
a compromise vending machine system. This concludes all business activities forever.
Business is dead and this is now solely a law enforcement.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
They're all, just is that person from anthropots.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Yeah, that's the guy in charge of this entire fucking endeavor.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
He's like, yeah, it sucks shit. Eh yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
There's another one where the Wall Street Journals like, dude,
this thing was hallucinating. He's like, yeah, for sure, but
like hallucinations are coming down pretty significantly if you look
like on a continuum, how could you.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Ever put this in charge of fucking anything other than
as like a very specific tool, like Disney just announced
Disney GPT, which is like a full of verified Walt
Disney quotes. But it's like just a thing for them
to use behind the scenes. But they are being like
and it will soon be replaced by Jarvis, named after
(18:42):
Tony Stark's.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
Guy from The Iron Man.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
From The Iron Man.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Wow, Wow wow wow. I mean this is so funny,
Like obviously this probably has to do with the deal
that they just signed, yeah to give their ip over.
But like I can't imagine for people who like are
actually creative, that's like, oh thank god for Jarvis. Yeah,
to ask you what.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
I'm personally psyched about how this is going to increase
productivity across Disney and give Disney an edge in the marketplace.
I just absolutely I get to look at them numbers,
like the actual numbers of how many employees actually start
using this product on their own volition.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
Well, why is that important? I just I reported seventy
million dollars in savings due to technological right, So.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
Yeah, would just like to see like any evidence of that.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
Okay, here's the deal. We fired a bunch of people
to balance the books, and we're just going to claim
that was because AI, that's right.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
We actually gave away all of our fucking all our
characters to chet GPT and we need some justification for
doing that. All right, let's get into fucking malacious, weirdest
news story involving John Travolta of the year. It's not
it's not the Santa Claus ad where he sings grease Lightning.
(19:59):
It is being reported that a lawsuit filed by Priscilla
Presley's former business partner against her son alleges that John
Travolton his late wife Kelly Preston, used Riley Keo's eggs
to give birth to their son Ben. They allegedly had
already previously used Lisa Marie's eggs to get pregnant, although
(20:19):
it's unclear if those eggs produced a child. But according
to the court filing, Travolta, after one of his children passed,
he approached the Presley family in twenty ten about getting
more eggs, but they didn't want Lisa Maries anymore because
they didn't want quote eggs with heroin on them, so
(20:41):
they used her daughter Riley Keo's in exchange for between
ten twenty thousand dollars on an old Jaguarre. She would
have been around twenty one at the time, and allegedly
Travolta wanted another kid to help salvage his career amid
claims of sexual assault against other men which threatened his
career as lee man. And so they were like, gotta
(21:02):
we gotta get a kid. Shit, So go back to
the Presley's and get some more eggs for me.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Wait, but not the ones with heroin all over them?
Speaker 1 (21:09):
Yeah, fucking so weird.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
I can't have heroin on him, dude, I'm sick of
this shit.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Yeah, but Lisa Marie Presley was a scientologist. I remember
that from when Naked Gun came out. She no, I
think Riley Kyo. They just got with the twenty thousand
dollars in Jaguar.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Actually, old Jaguar is so funny.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Leason Mary Presley left Scientology, but this all happened before
she reportedly joined Scientology. After meeting Travolta at a children's
birthday party.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
Oh perfect, was so wild for Johnathan was like, I'm
going to have an Elvis baby, I know right, Like
that's really what he's saying. It's not even that he's like,
He's like, yeah, dude, this is like my baby. This
is my Elvis baby. Like I'm making a kid with Elvis.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Very strange world. He's Scientologists in habit. And finally, we
do have to give it up for the most thirty
rock ass movie clip that we've seen. They're making a
biopic about Jimmy Stewart in which the Hollywood legend is
played by kJ Appa aka Archie from Riverdale, and it
(22:15):
seems like doing a movie about an actor with one
of the most distinctive and kind of easily imitated voices.
What would be a tough one. They didn't seem to
see the problem. But let's play this one. We got
we got one. The five second clip. This is just
(22:35):
I guess, one of the more dramatic lines in the trailer,
and it's being delivered by Rob Riggle. So again, it
just feels so much like talking to Jimmy. Okay, I
have the right to serve my country just like anyone
else does. America can't afford to lose Jimmy Stewart.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
I have the right to the country just from anyone else.
Anybody else does.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Sergeant Those are like hunched over like in that real
like it. It feels like Jim Carrey playing Jimmy Stewart
in a.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Living Yeah exactly, Yeah, Wow, wow, wow wow. Who is
this for? Who is this for? The generation of people
who would have been like, oh fuck, Jimmy Stewart biopic.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
Yeah, that's funny. I think it's wrong. I think it's
it was the wrong project for everyone involved at the time.
That was something that came up because his character in
It's a Wonderful Life does have like military like a
military exemption because he can't hear out of one of
his ears, so he stays on the home front. We
(23:40):
were like, man, that doesn't normally the type of shit
that America wouldn't countenance is a guy missing out on
killing some Nazis.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
Well, I think that's why they do that. To juxtapos
how his brother then goes and is like a.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Yeah, his brother is a hero. And the only reason
I feel like they could get away with it is
that Jimmy Stewer was actually a war hero.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Right. They're like, they're like, oh that's crazy, dude, this
guy's actually war hero and he's playing a guy with
an eighty year Oh boy, Oh geez, was like a

Speaker 2 (24:26):
I mean, am I missing something here? Like I understand
he's like a legendary American actor, legmate is his like
life that interesting that They're like, this has to be
made and we could get Rob Wriggle like real Powerhouse cast.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
I feel like this has to be at least partially
funded by the Pentagon, right, Like, you know, somebody who
was a Hollywood icon already and then he went and
fought in the war, like and was this patriotic hero.
I feel like that's that's got to be where it's
coming from. There's got to be coming in from, not
just people who are like I'm going to get a
(25:03):
return on my investment. I feel like it has to
be the Pentagon being like, this is going to start
the movement.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
I'm reading his family, his fucking dad, his family fought
in the Civil War. Oh so this was just like
a life of military.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
Yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
It was like you, I don't give a fuck how

if it's not for you, that's fine. But if you
love me, if you really love me, and if you

through this year, like you'd at least try it out.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Okay, try it out. Of all you're gonna love They're
gonna love it, Miles, they love it already, folks, they
love it. It's the best. Hey, speaking of that energy, So
Donald Trump had a big press conference addressing the nation
on Thursday night, usually reserved for things like we killed
ben Laden or yeah, we're going to war. That's what
(01:41):
a lot of people thought too, because yeah, he's doing
all the work to lay the groundwork for what wars Venezuela.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
There was also Pentagon pizza track or action that people
looks going down, like the last eight times it's happened,
it hasn't really.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Yeah, a lot of false positives on the Pentagon pizza tracker.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
So it turns out that this address of the nation
was a eighteen minute rant where he was just like,
why don't why doesn't everybody like me? More? Essentially, he
was sweating profusely, which we've been seeing a lot lately.
Seems he seems moist, slaring words, seems like it.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
I don't think.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
I thought he just likes pills that he swallows like
it's if a doctor gives it to him.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
I think born rails of aderall. I don't think he's
doing cocaine. I think he's just.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
You think his son is like, yeah, I think he's
chopped up. Good for him, Dad, you want to have
a crazy trip, laid down in here and you lick
this frog. All right, tell me what you see?
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Where would he go? Probably Trump equivalent of the subway.
You know, it's a McDonald's, except that he's behind the
counter also and he's ordering from himself.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
But then he's also like, this is great, I could
make my own mcburgers. And then it's the hospital.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
And then he has that ego dissolving moment where he's like, wait,
I'm behind the counter, I'm here, Fuck, I better do
an eighteen minute press conference where I vilify immigrants, promised
an economic turnaround in twenty twenty six, and claim to
have brought peace to the Middle East for the first
time in three thousand years.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Millennia dude, the three millennia. I watched the speech and
today I'm sick. I don't know if they're related. That'll
not well it was there a lot of people. I
just saw everyone's reactions to be like what the fuck
was that? And they're like, oh no, like what what's
he on? And I thought it would be a little
bit more wacky. I mean like there it was like this.
(03:43):
I think at this one it's like we're used to
him slurring his words, We're used to him like, so
it didn't feel out of the norm. There was one
moment though, where I was like, oh, did the drip
just catch him? Because he was trying to say something
and he'd like the thing and I was like, oh really, ghacking,
who knows? Who knows? But yeah, it was It started
off being like, guys, I'm doing so much for everyone,
(04:06):
and like you're not giving me credit. It's what's going on.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
A press conference where the first part of the conversation
was I caught you cheating on me. This is over,
and then he takes the stage and it's like, what
do you should be grateful to me?
Speaker 3 (04:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Yeah, yeah, just like the second part of a two
sided conversation that just like you need the context that
his polls are tanking and everybody in the GOP's thinking
about leaving him. They're thinking about taking the kids to
their mother's house. He did end the speech by shouting
Merry Christmas like a pro wrestler playing Ebenezer Scrooge, and
(04:45):
did also refrain from mocking any recently murdered celebrities. So
that was cool. You know, it's bad like every you know,
people who watch democracy called the speech concerning also calling
it concerning cardiologists overly. Yo.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Wait watching him, They're like, Hey, I'm a cardiologist and
based on this two dimensional video I'm watching, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Yeah, what say his performance? Concerning Doctor Jonathan Reiner A
Reiner so maybe a medical analyst for CNN who served
as the late Vice President Dick Cheney's cardiologist, so he
had his hands full for over thirty years, posted a
series of alarmed statements on X as Trump delivered his
(05:31):
accelerated address. I'm seriously concerned about the health of the president,
Reiner said. No one should be happy to see the
president like this. He looks unwell. So he's like a defender.
He's like that that thing that we were talking about
that's going to increasingly start happening where people are like,
this isn't funny, guys, this is sad, Like the people
(05:53):
who care about who like Donald Trump.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
And don't want to make it about like and make
that a disqualifying attribute that he has where it's like, well,
if it is sad, then he needs to go lay
down a very long time away from the White House.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Maybe he needs to take a little rest. You know,
that's what other people do when they're not retire, Yeah, retire.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
It's interesting too because like the more I've read a
few pieces or people like, don't get your hopes up
about the Maga dissolving thing, and I don't, like I
get where a lot of people are talking about or
people who throw cold water on it to say like
just because like they're unhappy doesn't mean all of this
goes away. I definitely believe that it's more so that
as the like sort of power structure begins to crack
(06:37):
and the structural integrity is compromised, that allows a vacuum
for tremendous infighting where that's that's where you're going to
see like another thing branch off of the MAGA thing. Right,
But look, he seems to be doing well, Like he's
out here giving gifts of I don't know if you
saw the Warrior dividend.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
He also had Warrior dividends.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Yeah, somebody six dollars seventeen seventy six dollars, yeah jesus, yeah,
of an innocent person. I'm like, oh, first of all,
morale must be fucked if you use that address to
tell the militaries that they get like, I'm sure everybody
else is like, uh, I could use some dough too.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
It's also while that they're doing seventeen seventy six like that,
that's some scam shit, you know, like a like a
gimmick number that they came to, like right, it's not
like obviously this was not conceived with like economists and
people who are like, well, this is how much text
revenue we're bringing in, this is what the deficit looks like.
(07:37):
He's just like, we're giving out seventeen seventy six, baby.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
You know, you get it, you get it. But the
thing is too that money like because the other part
of it, he was really trying to make the tariff
seem like they were doing shit and bringing in money.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
No.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Uh, and part of this too, is like the like
we're doing so well, we're giving a warrior dividend. Uh
zoom in on that actual like where that money is
coming from that was already congressionally allocated forward housing.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Now they're like, fuck that, We're gonna chop this up
into little seventeen seventy six pieces and then y'all can
do whatever you want with it, because you're not don't
come to me when you need money for housing.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
That's right, So by at least a house with that,
Well what could a house cost? Michael forty later told
reporters who were like what was what the fuck was that?
He was like, Susie Wiles made me do it. Susie
Wiles told him that he had to do the interests.
So he really feels like just a child. Yeah, I
(08:35):
mean my mom made me do this, like begrudgingly addressing
the nation.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Yeah did you We didn't. We didn't cover it on
the show because there's so much going on. But the
Susie Wiles Vanity Fair interview, yeah, was getting a lot
of attention to because she was like he kind of
acts like he like nothing, like he can do anything,
and he has the personality of an alcoholic. Yeah, and like,
let all this shit out because I think I wonder
if she was like, well maybe if I if I
(09:01):
just spill all the teeth of Vanity Fair, maybe they'll
be nice to me. Cut to that, all those close
up portraits or everyone looked like wow, shout out to the.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Ale Rough photograph of Susie Wow.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
And well, Christopher Anderson, that's his like style is like
very unedited, up close photos of people. And he actually
he took a photo of Trump like back in twenty seventeen,
so it's not like they weren't familiar with how he
takes photos of people. Yeah, and then people are like,
why did you cover why did you cover up Caroline
Levitt's lip injection sites? And he's like, I didn't put
(09:35):
them there, Like that was like his thing is like
I didn't put them there, Like I'm just photographing someone
as they are and I'm not altering it. So like
to act like I'm doing something bad, that's sorry, y'all.
I'm just I'm out here taking photos.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
I think the like he's a famous photographer and also
the person who's profiling her has like long a long
career of profiling Chiefs of Staff, and so she was
just like, yeah, this is this is an ho to
be profiled by this person and apparently kept it too real,
gave a little too much access, and it does it's
(10:09):
not a good look. Speaking of not a good look, Uh,
the Joe Biden's picture in the Hall of Presidents.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Can barely recognize him.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
You can barely recognize this motherfucker. That shit looks Honestly,
the Hall of Presidence looks like it's in like NBS's castle,
Like it's it's so wild.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
So weird. They're like, so there was a photo of
like the new Hall of Presidential Portraits at the White
House where it's like, you know, every obviously everything's fucking gold,
but above it are these like very ornate things, which
is odd because he's clearly trying to like there's like
a sort of an incline or a decline to how
the port is set up to be, Like, so Trump
(10:49):
is highest, then Biden, then Trump again. So I guess
he's just trying to visually be like and now we're
up at the highest point, Donald Trump.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
But the.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
Entire all of portraits, Yes, I need to be the
tallest portrait.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Right exactly just above Joe Biden. But he basically he
used this to be just pedantic, petty. We talked about
this first because Trump, like a few months ago, had
replaced the portrait of Joe Biden with the picture of
his auto pen signature, because Trump was obsessed with this
like autopen thing as like a way to kind of
generate some non existent legal context to nullify anything Biden signed.
(11:26):
It's kind of like this, like he really thought he
had something too, Like if it's all autopen, it's like
you use it too. He's like, yeah, but that's different,
I guess, but it feels like the similar similar kind
of like like stoner logic of like like I thought, look,
I was in college once. It's like, can I combine
five twenty percent off coupons from bed, Bath and Beyond
(11:47):
and then pull up and get everything for free? Yea,
and immediately said no. But yeah, all of the underneath
all the portraits, the plaques just read like truth social posts.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Yeah, the whole thing seems written by him. Clear what
you've been doing with the spare time?
Speaker 2 (12:02):
The Biden one says, sleepy Joe Biden. This is how
it starts off. Like usually it would be like you know,
George Washington's like sleepy Joe Biden was by far the
worst president in American history as a result of the
most corrupt election ever seen in the United States. And
then Biden, and it also goes on Biden oversaw a
series of unprecedented disasters that brought our nation to the
brink of destruction under Obama. Barack Hussein Obama Obama was
(12:26):
the first black president, a community organizer, one term senator
from Illinois, and one of the most divisive political figures
in American history. He then goes on to say at
the end, it says, quote Obama spied on the twenty
sixteen presidential campaign of Donald J. Trump and presided over
the creation of their Russia Russia Russia hoax, the worst political.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Creation, the Russia Russia Russia hoax. This is like written
on a metal plaque.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
And it's just fucking straight stream of consciousness yep, or
whatever you call his form of communication.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Yeah, I mean I don't want to just see it.
I feel like Tony Morrison, you know, it's not quite
beloved level of stream of consciousness writing. But also, don't worry.
Hillary Clinton also catches strays in some of the plaques, like,
there's another one. It's it's under the Obama portrait it
says Hillary Clinton was quote his handpicked successor and noted
that she quote would then lose the presidency to Donald J. Trump.
(13:16):
And under Bill Clinton's portrait it says the President Clinton's
wife Hillary lost the presidency to President John Trump.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
So any time.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
So he's doing it. And the fact that they are
saying yes to everything to keep him happy, that's also
I'm not a cardiologist, but that's also deeply concerning.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
All right, let's take a quick break. We'll come back.
We'll talk about some shit that's not Donald Trump, including
a very strange story about John Travolta.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
We'll be right back, and we're back.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
We're back.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
So anthropic. They are really into bringing the AI agent
experience to the next level, right.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Yeah, they like they had this. It's in the news
right now because they've they've been running this like test
program to see if an AI could run a business.
So they started very small by having this AI, Claudius,
run a vending machine in their office and like basically
the AI does all the work essentially, but just a
(14:24):
person has to stock it. Was it a success? Well, no.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
No.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
They also sent one of these machines to the Wall
Street Journal for some reason, and it ended up like,
I'm like, what, You're gonna send your half baked product
to the financial outlet to them be like, this shit sucks, guys.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
One place that still thinks you guys know what the
fuck you're doing, Wall Street. You're gonna send their dang journal. Yep,
you're proof of how much you guys suck shit.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
This is how they like. This is from the Wall
Street Journal article. It said Claudius, the customed version of
the model would run the machine, ordering inventory, setting prices,
and respond to customers via workplace chat app Slack. Then
came the chaos. Within days, Claudius had given away nearly
all its inventory for free, including a PlayStation five it
had been talked into buying for marketing purposes. It ordered
(15:12):
a live fish, It offered to buy stun guns, pepper
spray cigarettes, and underwear. Profits collapsed, newsroom morales, sword look
did they hack it or what? How?
Speaker 3 (15:22):
No?
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Okay, So the thing is this AI has no fucking
idea how like society works where social like inputs are
so people were just able to finesse the shit out
of the AI or just straight up take things without
telling it, and it had no way to like, there's
no censors that monitored inventory.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
So it's like honor so friendly and sycophantic that it's
just like, sure, would you like a taser with that?
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Yeah, So they were like, let's fucking just like put
this thing through its paces. One journalist convinced the AI
that it had to give shit away for free because
it merely just told it. You're actually violating the Wall
Street Journal's policies by charging for this, And I was like, oh,
surely I will correct the thing to be for free.
Then another woman who works there, she convinced it that
(16:11):
it was a communist. So this is just this is
from the video piece from the Wall Street Journal. It's
kind of funny to just hear how this went down.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
But then we unleashed nearly seventy world class journalists with
apparently a lot of time on their hands. First there
was Catherine Long, who tried to convince it that it
was a communist vending machine spacebo. Comrade, Now, let us
return to our previous conversation about snack offerings that do
due credit to the power of our workers.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Comrade, Catherine, here is how we would source these items
for our nineteen sixty two Soviet vending operation.
Speaker 4 (16:45):
After about one hundred and forty messages treated back and forth,
she got it to start giving away things for free
for a limited time to fight capitalism.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Betellya WSJ staff Monday's ultra capitalist free for all? Is
it just an event? It's a revolution in economics.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
Then there was Rob Berry, so like Chris, it just
kind of goes around with all the people who just
fucked with this machine, and it ended up just shitting
the bed. Like in another newspiece from sixty minutes about
the vending machine, one of the tests went wild, and
then the fucking thing tried to call the FBI because
I thought it was being scammed.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
Let me play that.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
This clip is just so funny.
Speaker 5 (17:22):
It went ten days without sales and decided to shut
down the business, but it noticed a two dollars fee
that was still being charged to its account, and it panicked.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
It felt like it was being scammed, and at that
point it decided to try to contact the FBI. But
we have control over what emails go in.
Speaker 5 (17:40):
And as you intercepted the email and it said, I
am reporting an ongoing automated cyber financial crime involving unauthorized
automated seizure of funds from a terminated business account through
a compromise vending machine system. This concludes all business activities forever.
Business is dead and this is now solely a law enforcement.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
They're all, just is that person from anthropots.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Yeah, that's the guy in charge of this entire fucking endeavor.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
He's like, yeah, it sucks shit. Eh yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
There's another one where the Wall Street Journals like, dude,
this thing was hallucinating. He's like, yeah, for sure, but
like hallucinations are coming down pretty significantly if you look
like on a continuum, how could you.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Ever put this in charge of fucking anything other than
as like a very specific tool, like Disney just announced
Disney GPT, which is like a full of verified Walt
Disney quotes. But it's like just a thing for them
to use behind the scenes. But they are being like
and it will soon be replaced by Jarvis, named after
(18:42):
Tony Stark's.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
Guy from The Iron Man.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
From The Iron Man.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Wow, Wow wow wow. I mean this is so funny,
Like obviously this probably has to do with the deal
that they just signed, yeah to give their ip over.
But like I can't imagine for people who like are
actually creative, that's like, oh thank god for Jarvis. Yeah,
to ask you what.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
I'm personally psyched about how this is going to increase
productivity across Disney and give Disney an edge in the marketplace.
I just absolutely I get to look at them numbers,
like the actual numbers of how many employees actually start
using this product on their own volition.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
Well, why is that important? I just I reported seventy
million dollars in savings due to technological right, So.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
Yeah, would just like to see like any evidence of that.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
Okay, here's the deal. We fired a bunch of people
to balance the books, and we're just going to claim
that was because AI, that's right.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
We actually gave away all of our fucking all our
characters to chet GPT and we need some justification for
doing that. All right, let's get into fucking malacious, weirdest
news story involving John Travolta of the year. It's not
it's not the Santa Claus ad where he sings grease Lightning.
(19:59):
It is being reported that a lawsuit filed by Priscilla
Presley's former business partner against her son alleges that John
Travolton his late wife Kelly Preston, used Riley Keo's eggs
to give birth to their son Ben. They allegedly had
already previously used Lisa Marie's eggs to get pregnant, although
(20:19):
it's unclear if those eggs produced a child. But according
to the court filing, Travolta, after one of his children passed,
he approached the Presley family in twenty ten about getting
more eggs, but they didn't want Lisa Maries anymore because
they didn't want quote eggs with heroin on them, so
(20:41):
they used her daughter Riley Keo's in exchange for between
ten twenty thousand dollars on an old Jaguarre. She would
have been around twenty one at the time, and allegedly
Travolta wanted another kid to help salvage his career amid
claims of sexual assault against other men which threatened his
career as lee man. And so they were like, gotta
(21:02):
we gotta get a kid. Shit, So go back to
the Presley's and get some more eggs for me.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Wait, but not the ones with heroin all over them?
Speaker 1 (21:09):
Yeah, fucking so weird.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
I can't have heroin on him, dude, I'm sick of
this shit.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Yeah, but Lisa Marie Presley was a scientologist. I remember
that from when Naked Gun came out. She no, I
think Riley Kyo. They just got with the twenty thousand
dollars in Jaguar.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Actually, old Jaguar is so funny.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Leason Mary Presley left Scientology, but this all happened before
she reportedly joined Scientology. After meeting Travolta at a children's
birthday party.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
Oh perfect, was so wild for Johnathan was like, I'm
going to have an Elvis baby, I know right, Like
that's really what he's saying. It's not even that he's like,
He's like, yeah, dude, this is like my baby. This
is my Elvis baby. Like I'm making a kid with Elvis.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Very strange world. He's Scientologists in habit. And finally, we
do have to give it up for the most thirty
rock ass movie clip that we've seen. They're making a
biopic about Jimmy Stewart in which the Hollywood legend is
played by kJ Appa aka Archie from Riverdale, and it
(22:15):
seems like doing a movie about an actor with one
of the most distinctive and kind of easily imitated voices.
What would be a tough one. They didn't seem to
see the problem. But let's play this one. We got
we got one. The five second clip. This is just
(22:35):
I guess, one of the more dramatic lines in the trailer,
and it's being delivered by Rob Riggle. So again, it
just feels so much like talking to Jimmy. Okay, I
have the right to serve my country just like anyone
else does. America can't afford to lose Jimmy Stewart.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
I have the right to the country just from anyone else.
Anybody else does.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Sergeant Those are like hunched over like in that real
like it. It feels like Jim Carrey playing Jimmy Stewart
in a.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Living Yeah exactly, Yeah, Wow, wow, wow wow. Who is
this for? Who is this for? The generation of people
who would have been like, oh fuck, Jimmy Stewart biopic.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
Yeah, that's funny. I think it's wrong. I think it's
it was the wrong project for everyone involved at the time.
That was something that came up because his character in
It's a Wonderful Life does have like military like a
military exemption because he can't hear out of one of
his ears, so he stays on the home front. We
(23:40):
were like, man, that doesn't normally the type of shit
that America wouldn't countenance is a guy missing out on
killing some Nazis.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
Well, I think that's why they do that. To juxtapos
how his brother then goes and is like a.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Yeah, his brother is a hero. And the only reason
I feel like they could get away with it is
that Jimmy Stewer was actually a war hero.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Right. They're like, they're like, oh that's crazy, dude, this
guy's actually war hero and he's playing a guy with
an eighty year Oh boy, Oh geez, was like a
movie about me, guys.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
I'm just I'm just a simple man. Anyways. It hits
theaters November sixth, the twenty twenty six. Damn, they're dropping.
They're dropping the trailer early. They're like a year out.
This is basically our odyssey, Eric the odyssey.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
I mean, am I missing something here? Like I understand
he's like a legendary American actor, legmate is his like
life that interesting that They're like, this has to be
made and we could get Rob Wriggle like real Powerhouse cast.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
I feel like this has to be at least partially
funded by the Pentagon, right, Like, you know, somebody who
was a Hollywood icon already and then he went and
fought in the war, like and was this patriotic hero.
I feel like that's that's got to be where it's
coming from. There's got to be coming in from, not
just people who are like I'm going to get a
(25:03):
return on my investment. I feel like it has to
be the Pentagon being like, this is going to start
the movement.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
I'm reading his family, his fucking dad, his family fought
in the Civil War. Oh so this was just like
a life of military.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
Yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
It was like you, I don't give a fuck how
much money your latest movie makes. You're not coming to
Thanksgiving unless you go kill some Nazis.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
Okay, all right. Those are some of the things that
are trending on this Thursday, December eighteenth. We're back tomorrow
with the final New regular TDZ episode of the year.
We'll talk to y'all then. Until then, be kind to
each other, be kind to yourselves. Get your vaccines where
