To get them the fuck out of here.

Speaker 2 (06:10):
I'm here to make me laugh, So it's only our

this scene.

Speaker 1 (06:15):
We're not here to make fans.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
We're we're here to identify other people who have similar

was talking about bone thugs and said that partner, and
then we can't we can't help but do the drunk way.

Speaker 1 (06:52):
I hear about someone's uncle Charles who died out of nowhere.
Just they haven't mentioned Uncle Charles before. I am going
to think of drunk drunk boyfriend.

Speaker 3 (07:00):
Will you fill me in on drunk boyfriend.

Speaker 1 (07:02):
It's an SNL sketch where one.

Speaker 2 (07:05):
Of the things, it's like at one of those commercials.

Speaker 1 (07:08):
Yeah, one of the things that drunk boyfriend does is
start crying about a relative that you've never heard, that
he's never mentioned before, and then he just cuts him, being.

Speaker 2 (07:18):
Like my uncle. It was like meant to be a
drunk boyfriend. It was Kyle Mooney and then what was it,
Sam Let's his face? Sam Rockwell, Sam Rockwell, And it
was like it was basically like an animatronic humanoid doll
that would be like your drunk boyfriend that you would
have to take care of.

Speaker 3 (07:36):
Was this one of those like final quadrant of SNL
when they just start doing the weird ones.

Speaker 1 (07:43):
No, I think this was one of the early like this.

Speaker 3 (07:45):
Was like the first sketch.

Speaker 1 (07:47):
Yeah, it was like the fake commercial block.

Speaker 2 (07:49):
Yeah that usually came right after the monologue, right, yeah, yeah, exactly.

Speaker 3 (07:53):
It's so incredible that the variation in quality over that show.

Speaker 1 (07:59):
Yeah. Oh yeah, jarring, I am jarred excuse.

Speaker 3 (08:04):
When you're watching the end sometimes and and you're like, damn,
they really haven't had a have It made me laugh
in like fifteen minutes. And then there's just like a
really weird sketch at the end that they left side really.

Speaker 2 (08:16):
Right right right, Well, what if they let them do all.

Speaker 3 (08:19):
The funny sketches instead of Lord.

Speaker 2 (08:22):
Michael's coming in at like the zero hour.

Speaker 3 (08:25):
Eleven twenty nine and before like everyone's material is cut
except for Pete Davidson.

Speaker 1 (08:32):
My good boy did a cheerleader sketch.

Speaker 2 (08:35):
It was funny how like in a bad episode you
would pray for that card to come up and you're like,
is it the outros yet? And you would hear that
little bit of piano go booom, and you're like, oh god,
that's everyone. Wow, you were made it to the end.

Speaker 1 (08:49):
You were a prisoner to that show.

Speaker 3 (08:51):
Oh okay. We had a really jam packed Saturday night sketch,
that's right.

Speaker 1 (08:57):
Yeah, I had places to go, but I had to
complete SNL.

Speaker 2 (09:01):
I was watching snick and then watching SNL like we're
pretending and we weren't up that late. That was my
Saturday night in the nineties.

Speaker 1 (09:09):
There you go, all right, Molly, we're gonna get to
know you a little bit better in a moment. First,
we're gonna tell her listen to a couple of things
we're talking about. We're gonna check them with private Equity.
We're gonna check them with Rudy Giuliani, on whom it
just keeps raining.

Speaker 2 (09:21):
Shit.

Speaker 1 (09:23):
I just want to narrate the whole thing. And then
we're gonna talk about that lost F thirty five and
just the entire history of the F thirty five jet program.
It's the real winner. Yeah, all of that, plenty more.
But first, Molly Lambert, we do like to ask our guests,

(09:43):
as you well know, Hey, Molly, was something for yoursearch
history that's revealing about.

Speaker 3 (09:48):
Who you are? Well? Right now, it's Crossroads by Bone
Tuk Bone.

Speaker 2 (09:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (09:55):
You did point out that the actually the first lyrics
of the song are bone bone, bone, bone, bone, bone, bone, bone, bone, bone, bone, bone.

Speaker 3 (10:02):
Bone, bone, bone bone. I'm also just reading about remembering
about the video that there's a part where there's like
a newborn baby that's died.

Speaker 1 (10:11):
Yeah, and people love when newborn babies die and their
music videos and.

Speaker 3 (10:17):
The reader takes them all to heaven.

Speaker 1 (10:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (10:20):
Wait, isn't there one part where like someone touches the
dude's eyes and no, they touched the forehead and the
eyes go black and oh that's right. That's how you
know that God's got it.

Speaker 1 (10:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (10:31):
That to me, I was like, I don't know if
I want God to get me like that. That seems pretty.

Speaker 3 (10:36):
Look I'll be I'll be real. I won't pretend to
have looked up something cool. The most recent thing I
searched for was the pop star Tate McCray, who has
a viral TikTok song, because.

Speaker 2 (10:48):
I was like, who is Ta McCray, please help?

Speaker 3 (10:50):
She has a viral TikTok song. Her name is Tate
McCray okay, and she's a Canadian pop star, and so
the video is set in a hockey rink.

Because it's about oh hell yeah, she's.

Speaker 3 (11:03):
Getting getting back at her hockey player boyfriend who just
cheated on her.

Speaker 2 (11:08):
Oh no, wow, I've never seen someone look more like
their name.

Speaker 3 (11:13):
Yeah, look more like a Canadian pop star named Tate mccrean. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (11:15):
Like I was like, if you just showed me, like,
who's this person, I'm like, that's Tate McRae, Canadian pop star.

Speaker 3 (11:21):
She's bf Olivia Rodrigo.

Speaker 2 (11:23):
Oh okay, but she just had a song.

Speaker 3 (11:26):
That went really viral on TikTok and so I was
like a person. The song is called Greedy, and it's like.

Speaker 1 (11:35):
The video looks like it is a Canadian spoof of
Hit Me Baby One More Time.

Speaker 3 (11:42):
It does look like that. It's really funny.

Speaker 1 (11:45):
It's like, what if Hitnie Baby One More Time? But Canada.

Speaker 3 (11:49):
Yeah, kind of, It's like if the Grimes video wasn't fascist.
It's like, I like when there's like a like a sports.

Speaker 2 (11:57):
Oh like that that first video she had like at
the Monster Track rally or whatever.

Speaker 3 (12:01):
Yeah, where she was like I love Arenas Yo.

Speaker 2 (12:05):
Wait where did they shoot this video? Is she based
in La.

Speaker 3 (12:08):
Tate McCrae, Yeah, recognize, yeah.

Speaker 2 (12:13):
Yeah, this is where. This is where we used to
play hockey and Bourbank. I think they shoot everything there,
like Pickwick Yeah yeah, the Pickwick Ice shirts, the Pickwick
Ice skating place. I'd have to see if I just went.

Speaker 3 (12:25):
There for the first time. Dang. Yeah. There was a
big hockey boom in Los Angeles because of the Kings.

Speaker 2 (12:31):
Yeah yeah, you know this.

Speaker 3 (12:33):
But children of the Valley loved to go play hockey
in a climate where hockey has never been played.

Speaker 2 (12:41):
Yeah, it's true. It's it's so true. And uh, who
else I remember the other Fate Like I think I
was like, honestly, I think it was one of the
first black and players to ever play hockey. Because this
was like in the fucking eighties. I was getting on
the ice and then Kurt Russell and Goldie.

Speaker 3 (12:56):
You were like, you just improved the game one thousand percent.

Speaker 2 (12:59):
We were such a ragtag group. It was like us
like some Armenian kids, some Canadian kids who's like parents,
were like straining the platform. Mighty Ducks, by the way, yeah,
exactly exactly, the blazing group.

Speaker 1 (13:11):
This coach came back.

Speaker 2 (13:13):
He had just got one of them was girl no Crazy.
Two Mexican kids, Jose and Joel Yo. We were the team.
Photo looked fucking lit. I don't know what this is
a movie? Yeah it was, and it was a literally
the Mighty Ducks.

Speaker 3 (13:28):
But also it should be a movie about you and
your ragtag group of valley friends.

Speaker 2 (13:33):
Going to New England and getting real hockey.

Speaker 3 (13:36):
Playing against the Wrench kids who have all the hockey gear.

Speaker 2 (13:40):
Yeah, right, exactly right.

Speaker 1 (13:42):
Minnesota, They're just like mean Canadians, like just people people
want to root against Canadian.

Speaker 3 (13:49):
This video is funny because it's like, I like, I've
never seen anyone do the aesthetics of hockey and a
pop music video before, and it's like so Canadian obviously.
But there's a part where she's wearing like a goalie glove.
It's like she's dressed like sexy, but she's.

Speaker 1 (14:03):
Wearing like pieces of hockey gear.

Speaker 3 (14:06):
It's really funny. Yeah, it's like she's wearing like like
a crop top and basketball shorts kind of.

Speaker 2 (14:12):
Yeah, there's like this lone old like like Gordy Howe
hockey glove. She's like holding that. I'm like, yo that
she is so.

Speaker 1 (14:21):
Okay, like Jason Boordhees's hockey gear is a little Yeah,
it's really funny.

Speaker 3 (14:27):
It looks like like the Thanos glove or whatever too.
It's just like it's like not sexy. And then she's
driving a zamboni.

Speaker 1 (14:35):
Jamie Jamie Jamie Loftus's influence is felt across much of
the pop music landscape.

Speaker 3 (14:43):
Yeah, it's very Jamie loft Is coated of MraY.

Speaker 1 (14:48):
It's kind of funny, Like the last shot being heard
driving a Zamboni like very like in a very weird like.

Speaker 3 (14:56):
Yeah, it was like about being confident and sassy taking control.

Speaker 1 (15:03):
It's pretty funny.

Speaker 2 (15:04):
It's funny, and it's.

Speaker 3 (15:05):
Like a good it's a pretty good song. I heard
it on TikTok a million times and I was like,
what is this?

Speaker 1 (15:11):
And now I know it's Tate mcgraham. Now our listeners know,
and that is the sort of ship that they were
not going to hear from us. I can tell you that, bunch.
So this is a great search history you are bringing.
I'm bringing Popcorner.

Speaker 2 (15:25):
Well, it's just like.

Speaker 3 (15:26):
Usually the things. Okay, can I tell you the other
thing I looked up? This is more on the type
of thing I normally look up. But I found out
that well maybe whatever, I'll never mind. I'll tell you
guys later.

Speaker 2 (15:38):
Okay. I like that, And I want to make this.

Speaker 3 (15:42):
Part go too long. I'll bring it up in the
jet fuel part.

Speaker 1 (15:45):
Okay, that jet fuel doesn't melt.

Speaker 2 (15:48):
Nine eleven was last week. What's going on?

Speaker 1 (15:52):
All right, Molly? What is something you think is overrated?

Speaker 3 (15:55):
You know what? It's controversial and I don't even know
if I believe this. I'm gonna say it to become
diversial pumpkin spice.

Speaker 2 (16:01):
Oh shit, wait what do you mean? Oh so you don't?
Are you kind of ambivalent?

Speaker 3 (16:06):
No, I'm drinking one right now.

Speaker 2 (16:08):
Oh wow? And how are you feeling?

Speaker 1 (16:12):
What do you drinking? It's kind of blinking in and
out of existence.

Speaker 3 (16:15):
I'm drinking something La colombe disgusting. It's good. It's like
disgusting and good with a la column canned pumpkin spice
latte from Trader Joss.

Speaker 2 (16:29):
And why does it have you feeling overrated and underrated
at the same time? You seem comfused?

Speaker 3 (16:33):
But I think it's like I like the idea of
pumpkin spice a lot, you know, and then a lot
of the times the products like don't hit very well.
Like I was, like, the actual pumpkin spice latte from
Starbucks is pretty disgusting.

Speaker 2 (16:45):
Mm so what do you as an what do you
like about it as a concept? More just like that
Fall has a flavor and you're fucking with Fall, or
that you actually do like that combo of like nutmeg
and cinnamon and all that shit.

Speaker 3 (16:57):
Fall has a flavor and I fuck with Fall. Okay,
I do like the combo of nutmeg I like that
fall is represented by like a squash kind of seems
sunny gang. Yeah, yeah, gord Gang. I think it's just
like there's a platonic ideal of pumpkin spice that exists
only in my mind.

Speaker 1 (17:17):
Right, So the execution of pumpkin spice is yeah overrated.

Speaker 2 (17:23):
Yeah, and a lot of people are just.

Speaker 3 (17:25):
Like, when we threw some cinnamon on it, now it's
a pumpkin spice flavor.

Speaker 2 (17:29):
Right yeah, right, this thing, this gioza that you ordered
at the Ramen well.

Speaker 3 (17:35):
Also, yeah, it's gotten out of control. I want to trade.
I think that's what I mean too. I went to
Trader Joe's the other day and I was like, they
made too many things pumpkin spice. Now nobody needs pumpkin
spice cream cheese.

Speaker 2 (17:49):
Yeah, they need they do this thing.

Speaker 1 (17:53):
I actually I hate to them for you. I might
need that.

Speaker 3 (17:55):
Oh no, you don't know.

Speaker 1 (17:57):
I might need that. Actually, no, you don't.

Speaker 3 (18:00):
One my one, like New York jew hardline thing is
like no sweet bagels.

Speaker 1 (18:08):
Right right, that's a doughnut cinnamon raisin.

Speaker 3 (18:11):
No, that's a donut. Don't eat a donut.

Speaker 1 (18:15):
Even with some savory some pumpkin spice.

Speaker 3 (18:20):
Who said that. Somebody said that.

Speaker 2 (18:22):
Wait, but wasn't like a viral fucking bagel that people
were trying to get that was like I had the
cinnamon raisin with locks.

Speaker 3 (18:29):
Like they were like, right, it wasn't that like the
mayor of New York said it was his favorite or something.

Speaker 2 (18:33):
Oh, is that what it was?

Speaker 1 (18:35):
Eric Adams?

Speaker 3 (18:36):
Yeah, it was like Eric Adams or somebody.

Speaker 2 (18:39):
Bloomberg or no, Cynthia Nixon. Yeah, it was Cynthia Nixon
when she was running and we tried Cynthia Nixon's controversial
bagel order, and yeah, cinnamon raisin with locks locks, cream cheese, tomatoes,
onion capers on a cinnamon raisin.

Speaker 1 (19:00):
It's just fucking crazy, you have. She'd been famous for
too long.

Speaker 3 (19:04):
She's trying to be like, I'm a real New Yorker,
New Yorker and then she's like this is what I eat.

Speaker 1 (19:11):
And everybody was like, mano, cimm raisins. Like, not only
are they not in theory what a bagel should be,
they're also not popular. Like when you do a dozen bagels,
like the one that's always left over is cinnamon raisin.

Speaker 2 (19:25):
Yeah, bro, didn't.

Speaker 3 (19:26):
You just say you'd try the pumpkin spiced cream cheese, though, like,
which side do you want?

Speaker 1 (19:31):
Yeah, I'm an idiot.

Speaker 2 (19:32):
It's both.

Speaker 1 (19:35):
It's succi while one like, wow, Okay, I like sweet
things and if if there's sweetness on the menu and
I'm in the mood for a little sweet sweet treat,
little sweetie, I'll go with it. But it does seem
like cinnamon raisin is just unpopular. It's something that the

(19:56):
cinnamon and raisin, big cinnamon and big raisin have come
together to try to make happen for far too long.

Speaker 3 (20:02):
Pumpkin spice cream cheese is ungodly.

Speaker 1 (20:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (20:07):
Yeah, and also zegang. If you're like, if you can
help me understand why this is not an abomination, please
let me know. I'm curious. But if not, I don't know.
I don't know what else to say.

Speaker 1 (20:18):
Let's take a quick break and we'll come back and
do an underrated We'll be right back and we're back,
and Molly Lambert, we do like to ask our guests
what is something from what is something from your search history? Also,

(20:42):
what's something you think is underrated?

Speaker 3 (20:44):
Okay? Underrated? Every time I come, I only do food
things vanilla ice cream? Did I say this one last time?

Speaker 2 (20:50):
Or am I just I don't know.

Speaker 3 (20:53):
I'm feeling it again.

Speaker 2 (20:54):
Doesn't know. I don't think you have I think you may.
I remember talking about this, but I don't know. This
could be a universal underrated.

Speaker 3 (21:01):
Potentially Yeah, maybe I was getting deja voo.

Speaker 2 (21:05):
Under it's a clitchen the matrix, thank.

Speaker 3 (21:09):
You, underrated vanilla ice.

Speaker 1 (21:14):
Cream speak on it?

Speaker 3 (21:17):
Is it?

Speaker 1 (21:17):
Is it hard ice cream? Is it the soft serve?
Is it all the above?

Speaker 2 (21:21):
A French is my birthday?

Speaker 3 (21:23):
The other day?

Speaker 1 (21:24):
Hey, happy bread?

Speaker 3 (21:26):
Thank you? And the guy at the diner heard me
and my friend talking about how it was my birthday
at midnight and then brought us a little vanilla ice
cream with whipped cream and rainbow sprinkles, just like, oh hey,
I heard you say it was your birthday. Happy birthday.
It's like something I would never have ordered, but it
was so fucking good and I was just like, damn

(21:48):
vanilla ice cream.

Speaker 4 (21:50):
The same thing happened to me on Friday on my birthday.
What yes, Happy birthday by the dude brought out a
little like one like one of them stainless steel saucers
with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on it. Nope,
there was no whip cream or other shit, but just
like hooked it up.

Speaker 2 (22:07):
It was like, hey, man, for your birthday, I thank
you and I ate that shit soaked. I don't know why.
I don't know if it was maybe like the meaning
behind it, but it was probably one of the most
delicious vanilla ice cream.

Speaker 3 (22:17):
It was so good that yesterday I went to Foster's
Freeze and ordered a vanilla ice cream Sunday because.

Speaker 1 (22:24):
I was like, yeah, have vanilla ice cream Sunday. It's
just vanilla ice cream with like melted vanilla ice cream
sauce on top.

Speaker 3 (22:31):
No, no, just like vanilla with hot fudge and vanilla
on it.

Speaker 1 (22:35):
Vanilla ice cream is the greatest, like bass, that's.

Speaker 3 (22:39):
What I mean. I think it's just like it's as
a base, it holds toppings incredibly, and I think, you know,
I think we get caught up in these flavors. Pumpkin spice,
you know, I think that's what I mean. It's like
pumpkin spice. You're like imagining this incredible flavor, and it's
like vanilla is right here.

Speaker 1 (22:58):
Yeah, right, there has been for us all along.

Speaker 2 (23:01):
When there's a little bit of vanilla Philippic vanilla bean
that sit feels like the height of classic ice.

Speaker 1 (23:08):
There. Yeah, only respects I will allow in my food.

Speaker 2 (23:13):
Otherwise it's probably moldy.

Speaker 3 (23:16):
People say, like like people talk about like vanilla sex,
It's like, oh what it's like delicious.

Speaker 2 (23:21):
Really like the foundation of all other great sexes, the
most versatile sex that you're like kind of always in
the mood. Oh, I'm sorry that my sex was universally
appealing hard in me. I didn't know. I didn't know that.

Speaker 3 (23:41):
Yeah, sorry, it wasn't more niche and unappealing, like a.

Speaker 2 (23:45):
Cinnamon raisin bagel with locks. Is that the kind of sex, right?

Speaker 3 (23:50):
I don't think it's like a warm hug from cold
ice of the soul.

Speaker 1 (23:57):
Yeah, shut ice cream?

Speaker 2 (23:58):
Yeah, okay, like vanilla ice cream. We got holler atus, please.

Speaker 1 (24:03):
Holler, come on sponsor our show. Vanilla ice cream.

Speaker 3 (24:08):
Vanilla ice cream.

Speaker 1 (24:12):
I mean that sounds like it could be a jingle written.

Speaker 2 (24:14):
By ice cream vanilla ice cream.

Speaker 1 (24:21):
Oh no, you should just go have some vanilla ice cream. Man,
it's pretty easy to get. All right, shall we talk
about what do you want to talk about? You want
to talk about private equity?

Speaker 2 (24:32):
This was this is interesting. I saw a headline that
was allow me to pull up the exact headline, because
I was like, what is this?

Speaker 1 (24:42):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (24:43):
It said, can private equity be ellipses nice? And I
was like, what the fuck is this? And it's an
interview by Enslate by Magan Greenwell where she interviews one
of the heads of kk R, which is this like
private equity firm that just bought the publisher Simon and Schuster,
And kk R is doing something that is kind of

(25:05):
unheard of in the private equity world. They're offering employees
of the companies they purchase an ownership state and you're like, wait,
what the what, what do you mean?

Speaker 1 (25:14):
What the fuck is this?

Speaker 2 (25:15):
They basically built in a deal where part of like
the total equity of the company gets put aside for employees,
and higher earning employees have the option to buy like
additional equity if they want, but everyone gets a piece
for free. And the idea here is that when the
company sells or goes public, everybody gets a little taste
of something, not just the C suite, which is like normal.

Speaker 1 (25:36):
I mean, I feel like tech companies have been doing
that with like stock like get allowing employees to like
have stock and stuff like that for a while, but
then when it comes time to like actually distribute it,
they always like find a way to Like these things
are tied to like forty page contracts, the thing employees
aren't going to have time to like read or like

(25:58):
you know, have their legal teams like pour over. Like
some of some of the examples is like a trucking company,
Like these truckers don't have fucking legal teams to like
pour over. No, make sure they're not getting fucked over.

Speaker 2 (26:11):
But like so this one they're golden goose. Of an
example is this company called chi overhead Doors, where the
private equity firm bought them. Everyone had their steak and
when they sold, an average of one hundred and seventy
five thousand was like distributed to the to the like
rank and file employees. Some longtime truck drivers they say
made as much as eight hundred thousand, and like even

(26:34):
in speaking to them, like these truck drivers are like, yeah,
it's cool, like I made the money. And also when
you have a stake in it, you actually begin to
see the inefficiencies in your own business. He's like I
used to get forty cents a mile no matter where
I drove, and I didn't care because more miles meant
more money. But when I realized that that could affect
the sale price of the company, then we started actually

(26:55):
optimizing things. So it's like a very fucking like double
edged sword here, because overall makes no sense given what
private equity is about, and like they're bloodlust for just
chopping down the workforce to just you know, lower in
the name of lowering costs. But they say the private
equit say it's win win. It says workers get the
chance for big payout in a voice in company decisions.

(27:16):
Not really, and investors get increased staff engagement and retention,
which in turn creates higher profits. So the optimistic read
on this is that it's an attempt to trying to
make capitalism a little more worker friendly. The cynical version
is that this is just corporate. This is like a
corporate whitewashing scheme, and it's meant for people to be like, oh,
this is like this could actually benefit people. In the

(27:38):
interview the guy from the firm, he's using a lot
of maybees and might bees when it comes to this
becoming like a huge payout for people, and it's all
nice and like a hypothetical context. But the outcomes begin
to differ based on what happens even like when the
equity firm exits the company, like do they go private?
Do they sell it to another firm? And then what
happens there? Does that next firm even give a fuck?

(28:00):
So I think that, you know, it seems like they're
one example of like the truck drivers making eight hundred k,
like the ownership stake incentivized workers to just start cutting
down on their own rather than the private equity firm
coming in and doing it. And I think the other
thing is that it's huge for retention, which seems to
be a huge cost of when a like a new

(28:21):
ownership you know team comes in, it just fucking they're like, mat,
fuck this place, I'm out of here. But not like
what if we give you a piece and now they
don't have to cycle through thousands of employees to retain
and train them. So to me, it seems like a
very elegant way of like cost savings while appearing to
be doing the right thing, because not everyone's going to

(28:41):
get paid out eight hundred thousand dollars, like one example,
they sort of parade around.

Speaker 1 (28:45):
Yeah, I mean, there are probably versions of capitalism that
work right.

Speaker 3 (28:51):
Now, there are none.

Speaker 1 (28:52):
No, there's not, Like there's probably like a handful of
times that, but like there are millions. They stumble upon
opportunities for it to work. It's called accidental socialism if
any right.

Speaker 3 (29:04):
Yeah, socialism works. It doesn't work because how you have
to explain somebody for it to exist, right, so somebody
gets somebody has to get fucked. Oh yeah, function. The
other thing that there's no it existing without somebody getting
fucked the like.

Speaker 2 (29:20):
In this interview too, when like you know, very pointedly,
this journalist is asking like why don't you just raise
wages like when you come in, like how about that
to keep employees? Like what what doesn't that work? And
then they use this I gotta like.

Speaker 1 (29:34):
We wouldn't be writing this article if we did that.

Speaker 2 (29:38):
Probably what they're.

Speaker 3 (29:40):
Also I know, Megan Greenwell shout out Megan Greenwell.

Speaker 1 (29:42):
Yeah is that who wrote this?

Speaker 3 (29:44):
Yeah? And she understood, she's got she knows.

Speaker 2 (29:47):
She's writing a book right now about how private equity
fucks workers. Like, so she didn't go into this interview
being like this is going to be great, Like it's
there's a lot of really pointed questions.

Speaker 1 (29:56):
But yeah, Kim Stanley Robinson like talks about how the
like profit inherently, like profit is the only goal of
any of this shit, and profit inherently is exploitive because
it's like getting more than your fair share. Yeah, that's
that's the point of profit. That's what profit means.

Speaker 2 (30:16):
So in this they asked like, why don't you just
like raise the salary, like like that's the easy way
to go, and he says like, look, you know, we
we manage all kinds of people's money. We including teachers,
teachers retirement funds. We also manage wealthy people's money. So
I don't want a cherry pick, but I'm just giving
you a flavor for why this is so tricky. If
you're managing teachers pension money and you want to just

(30:38):
raise everyone's salary, that is on the backs of the teachers,
which is not ethical and it's not our money, and
that's like the fucking rationality used to just hide behind
that to be like then the tea, that's the tea,
it's the teachers.

Speaker 1 (30:50):
We're actually doing it for the teachers of America.

Speaker 2 (30:52):
Yeah yeah, yeah, Like like you come away from this
interview is still kind of being like okay, like this
seems not like a win win. It seems like a
win maybe win if the environmental factors are precisely correct.

Speaker 3 (31:05):
It's like what they're giving you a cut of a
company that they're about to run into the ground.

Speaker 2 (31:09):
Yeah, but they say, if if you guys can figure
out how to save money, even better, because then we
don't have to be we don't have to just start
doing layoffs.

Speaker 3 (31:19):
Like what's happening in Hollywood right now too. It's like
the thing that was happening in publishing where they run
all the big companies, like your old school publishers like
Simon and Schuster into the ground, and then.

Speaker 1 (31:34):
The company that just bought some.

Speaker 2 (31:37):
Yeah okay, they're talking to the people who just bought
them from. I think like it was like a carve
out from Paramount or something.

Speaker 1 (31:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (31:43):
So yeah, they know how to plan.

Speaker 3 (31:45):
Their plan is to is to extract profits and get
the fuck out of there. It's all and run all
the way down.

Speaker 2 (31:51):
Oh yeah. And it's wild too because when this guy
says like, we're not just here just purely for profits,
I'm like, this is then you wouldn't be running a
fucking private equity firm right, Like, so I love that
like the words come out this way. But yeah, it
is a very it's an interesting, I think scheme from
private equity to try and you know, save money in

(32:11):
their own ways on like employee retention while trying to
incentivize people to like stick around as long as possible
before the inevitable because then they say stuff like we
wouldn't just sell it to like another company who like
doesn't have the same Ethos's like, really, if the fucking
money is right, then then what right? I don't think
that's the case.

Speaker 1 (32:30):
This is funny that like the global corporate media, we'll
like find these examples where like if you look at
it from a certain angle, it looks like, hey, this
thing's working and it's really like helping out the world.

Speaker 3 (32:42):
Yeah, And anytime they're like, actually, check out this cool thing, it's.

Speaker 2 (32:45):
Like, really, no, they're doing something different.

Speaker 3 (32:48):
So I'm making March Simpson noises.

Speaker 1 (32:52):
My stomach starts making March Simpson noises. All right, let's
cheer yourselves up by talking about how it continues to
just keep raining shit on Rudy Giuliani. We've been hearing
for a while that he's broke, can't pay his legal bills,
and now his lawyers, the people who are supposed to
be representing him, are suing him for one point three

(33:14):
six million dollars in unpaid legal fees. He racked up
fees and expenses totally more than one point five million dollars,
but he only managed to pay two hundred and fourteen
thousand dollars. And his defense is just like, it's like
really expensive, man, what the fuck cost so much? Are

(33:36):
you serious? Dude?

Speaker 2 (33:37):
No way, no way, it's this high.

Speaker 1 (33:39):
Yeah, no, it is. By the way, so you know,
he himself is a lawyer, and while he was representing Trump,
he reportedly charged twenty thousand dollars a day.

Speaker 2 (33:51):
Okay, so you know he's I like that, he really is.
The way Rudy Giuliani says, it's a real shame when
lawyers do things like this, And all I will say
is that their bill is way in access to anything
approaching legitimate fees. Sure, sure, sure.

Speaker 1 (34:08):
The lawyer that he's stiffed who is now suing him
is one of his like oldest best friends. His friendship
Giuliani dates back to the seventies when they were both
prosecutors in the US Attorney's Office in the Southern District
of New York.

Speaker 2 (34:24):
Wow, I wonder what the how that friendship started, Like
where like if this his friend like Robert Costel and
now is like look at you, now, Rudy, look at you.
He got nothing, You got nothing. I mean we've seen
how recently it's been all hands on deck to try
and get him more money, because it felt like he
was going to Trump and be like I got Bill's dude,

(34:47):
and like you need to help me because like I
know a lot of shit.

Speaker 3 (34:51):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (34:51):
And then recently there was a fucking one hundred thousand
dollars a plate fundraising dinner for Rudy Giuliani Trump specifically. So, yeah, love,
I have a feeling I wonder he probably was able
to pay a lot of that off. But anyway, who knows,
who knows? He's too busy being Yeah.

Speaker 3 (35:08):
I like when the scammers get scammed, get yeah, taken.

Speaker 2 (35:11):
In for their scams by their own their own.

Speaker 3 (35:14):
The scammers scam each other, yeah, or you're just like
none of these people have any loyalty to anyone but themselves.
Of course they're all gonna like fuck each other over
at the end and turn on each other. That to
me seemed like the lynchpin of the whole Trump thing
was like everyone he works everyone, he fucks everyone. But
it's like everyone he works with is like somebody who

(35:34):
would sell him out in a minute.

Speaker 1 (35:36):
Yeah, and vice versa.

Speaker 3 (35:38):
Yeah, like they're all that's the best part when they
all turn on each other at the end.

Speaker 2 (35:43):
Yeah, I'm waiting to see how the dominoes fall, because
it's every time we hear about this stuff happening in
like Georgia or like Florida, there's more people who are like, actually,
they do not want to have the same defense team
as Trump now and realize that like they were being
like nudged to do what was the best for Trump
and not for them to be free.

Speaker 1 (36:01):
You know, you know how these people like sell themselves
as like brilliant businessmen, and people are like, well, if
you could make a billion dollars, like, surely he could
run the country. Like their skill, the thing that they
all have in common that they're good at, is the
same skill displayed by if you've ever like been out
to dinner with a group in like high school and

(36:24):
everyone suddenly like, nah, I don't I don't have enough
money to pay this, Like what are you talking about
like you know, you know, like arguing over.

Speaker 2 (36:31):
The bill like that's before a homecoming dance.

Speaker 1 (36:33):
That is all that is their skill. They were just
the most stubborn of the people who refused to pay
for whatever they ordered and are like, no, that's you
see right here on the menu it says twelve ninety nine,
and so I put in twelve dollars and it's like, well,

(36:55):
we all also had drinks and no, no.

Speaker 3 (36:59):
No, those big Coca colas because we're in high school.

Speaker 2 (37:03):
Yeah, exactly through that like weird brown plastic cup that
was had the logo blast apps. You ordered the apps.

Speaker 1 (37:11):
You demanded that we ordered the app.

Speaker 3 (37:13):
You ordered the the mojo potatoes at Shakey's where we're
having our dinner.

Speaker 1 (37:19):
I drove someone here, so like that costs gas money.
Oh man, just we'll argue until you're too exhausted. I
have I remember we Molly, you'll appreciate this. Before a dance,
we went to Miss Ellie's right there across from the
Gilain Maxwell in and out Michelli's. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

(37:41):
Well that's how we say it. That's how we always
say at school, We're going to Misslli's with the one
sea that's why would always be like, oh I say.

Speaker 3 (37:47):
That, I say the accurate Italian yeah, better than me.

Speaker 1 (37:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (37:52):
But so we went and I remember one guy, just
one dude, straight up just fucking just deny that they
ordered the food.

Speaker 3 (38:02):
You're like, that's so funny. It was like, you know what, Yeah,
I would have to respect that because you're like friends. Well,
he's like, well, where is it then?

Speaker 1 (38:13):
Now shout out to my friends from you know what
they do now, and we all, every single one of us,
was just like, nah, uh huh, I don't give a fuck.
I'm not just gas grade apple.

Speaker 2 (38:31):
Well, it wasn't me, it was your idea. We came
here because you said, yeah, not so we can't get.

Speaker 3 (38:38):
The discount's no, oh my god. It's amazing. There's one
in Hollywood too. It's like the waiters also sing.

Speaker 2 (38:48):
Yeah, oh hell yeah.

Speaker 3 (38:49):
It's like a piano bar, and your waiter will be
like your waiters like, here's your food, and then they
like turn around and take a microphone and sing memory
from Cats.

Speaker 2 (39:00):
Yeah yeah, and the food fantastically subpar.

Speaker 1 (39:05):
So yeah for the experience.

Speaker 2 (39:09):
You know, when you walk in, you're like, this food
is not tasting great, but it will taste like Italian
food as we know it by the American definition.

Speaker 3 (39:17):
I love those like mid Italian restaurants from the fifties.

Speaker 2 (39:22):
Mm hmmm yeah yeah.

Speaker 1 (39:24):
But it's also like they have after somebody right.

Speaker 3 (39:28):
Yeah, it's like a fake balcony inside.

Speaker 1 (39:31):
Yeah, it's wild. It's like two inches deep.

Speaker 3 (39:37):
Oh we should go. Yeah, let me take you guys there. Yeah,
it's great because it's like a karaoke thing, but you
don't have to do karaoke.

Speaker 1 (39:45):
Is like.

Speaker 3 (39:47):
Waters are just singing. It's so weird. I love it very.

Speaker 1 (39:52):
Miles where you get your taste for the old country.

Speaker 2 (39:55):
Yeah, from Misscelli's, as we would always incorrectly say in
my limit school, and we will. We just can't. We
can't let that pronunciation go. That guy who was duck
in the bill, he went on to have a successful
like chain of daycare centers.

Speaker 1 (40:11):
Yeah, my god, profit king, you know, yeah, he knows
how profit profit man.

Speaker 2 (40:17):
Yeah, somebody's got it.

Speaker 3 (40:19):
It's somebody's got to get shorted. In that case, it
was you.

Speaker 2 (40:23):
Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 1 (40:24):
And all right, let's take a quick break and come
back and talk about something that we're all, every single
one of us. If you're hearing my voice, and you don't,
and you're not in the C suite at Lockheed Martin.
You got shorted on this ship. We'll be right back,

(40:52):
and we're back, and let's talk about the lost F
thirty five no longer lost, but was missing for about
forty eight hours. The Pentagon announced that an F thirty
five was miss as like what they're the height of technology.

(41:13):
The Ferrari of Pentagon fighter jets just went missing somewhere
in South Carolina after the pilot ejected for unknown reasons,
possibly because he was yeading on this jet plane, as
my Aka suggested. They have since located a debris field.
But between Sunday and Tuesday, the government was just like

(41:37):
at such a loss that they were posting online asking
for any help from the public as if they were
searching for like a lost dog and not an eighty
million dollar aircraft or one hundred and sixty million dollars
in it. No, so the person basically the person yeted

(41:57):
the fuck out for reasons unknown, and then the plane
just kept flying. And one problem is that it's you know,
I guess it was on autopilot. And also it is
designed not to be able to be seen by radar.

Speaker 2 (42:16):
Wait, so he ejected and the ship was on auto
I guess so it was further after he where he
actually ended up like being recovered.

Speaker 1 (42:26):
It took them forty eight hours to find it, so
it clearly was not in It's not like it just
went a couple extra miles like that. Shit just kept going.
I don't know what what systems they have in place
on this fucking thing.

Speaker 2 (42:40):
Their stealth, dude, that's what kind of system is?

Speaker 3 (42:42):
It tell me that the world's most advanced military aircrafts
are working on the same level as like the self
driving cars.

Speaker 2 (42:49):
Oh yeah, I don't want to say it is, but
I think it is.

Speaker 3 (42:53):
That's so funny.

Speaker 1 (42:56):
It's wild to me that the concern wasn't this fucker
is going to crash into a bunch of people, Like,
you know, it's still.

Speaker 2 (43:04):
Still out there.

Speaker 3 (43:06):
They don't care about that. They're like, we don't care
if it kills people. We care if we don't get
it back so we can use it to kill more people.

Speaker 2 (43:16):
Yeah, so I think donold Troy. Okay, but collateral damage.

Speaker 3 (43:20):
This is actually an incredible place for me to insert
a really off topic story that would be sort of related.

Speaker 1 (43:29):
That is what you are.

Speaker 3 (43:32):
This is what I'm for.

Speaker 1 (43:34):
I just like what you're here for.

Speaker 3 (43:36):
Okay, So this is the information I learned. And now
it's been an intrusive thought that I was like, everybody
has to know this. I have to tell everyone, which
is that My other search recently was for the Henry
Ford Museum for reasons I don't have to get into.
And I learned that at the Henry Ford Museum, which

(43:56):
is outside Detroit, they have the presidential limousine that JFK
was assassinated in. After JFK was assassinated in it, they
just refurbished it and used it for three more presidencies.
WHOA for real, isn't that fucking crazy? What?

Speaker 2 (44:18):
So just some like what they just li soolid it
down and we're like.

Speaker 3 (44:21):
All right, I sold it down. They added more secure. Yes,
because the government is so cheap. They were like, we
can't buy a new car for the president. We got
to keep using this car that they killed the president in.

Speaker 1 (44:42):
The one with like the magic bullet.

Speaker 3 (44:44):
Yeah. Also they just found a second bullet the.

Speaker 1 (44:47):
One he was sitting it. Yeah, he got his whole
shit blown off.

Speaker 3 (44:52):
Yeah, bro, they wiped it down down, wiped me down
and then they used it, so it actually became the
backup car. It like, wasn't I.

Speaker 1 (45:05):
Guess you've done your service.

Speaker 3 (45:08):
It was like the back It became the backup limousine.
But it was like in the official fleet until through
the Carter administration. Yeah wow, that means like LBJ rode
in that motherfucker.

Speaker 2 (45:23):
Nixon.

Speaker 3 (45:24):
Nixon laid his big fat head against the place where JFK's.

Speaker 1 (45:28):
Got blown up, licked it a little bit.

Speaker 3 (45:32):
It isn't that crazy. I can't.

Speaker 2 (45:36):
I can't believe that after Johnson Richard Nixon used the
car and requested additional modifications, creating a hatch in the
roof where he could stand and wave to the crowd
as he traveled the final Presidente's vehicles. Jimmy Carter officially
retired to night.

Speaker 3 (45:47):
Okay, but also that's so funny that he was like, oh, yeah,
this car that wasn't secure enough that you could like
snipe a president through the window. I want a car
sun roof so I can stand up.

Speaker 1 (45:59):
Well, it was a computable right, so here some roof
in the convertible.

Speaker 2 (46:03):
But I think there were modifications. They put a roof
on it.

Speaker 1 (46:06):
They were like, well that didn't work out, that went badly.

Speaker 2 (46:11):
Oh so they Yeah, there's like it looks like they
had like a it's sort of in pieces and I
subtract little.

Speaker 1 (46:20):
Really like shitty looking convertible.

Speaker 3 (46:25):
Is that insane though, that that after that happened, that
they weren't like this.

Speaker 1 (46:29):
This this Kennedy car, Kennedy car, because all they could
do to keep from selling it as the Kennedy addition.

Speaker 3 (46:37):
Right, Isn't that crazy? Okay? I felt like that's sort
of the government wanting to chat back or I'm just
like they're cheap. If they paid for something, they fucking
are going to use it.

Speaker 1 (46:50):
They did not want they did not like, I mean,
his brain went missing. They didn't want that car to
be looked at or put in a museum where it
could be observed.

Speaker 2 (46:59):
So you're saying that, yeah, right, that's not the real thing.

Speaker 3 (47:02):
Huh, Well, they don't want people to figure out, you know,
all the stuff that JFK Jr.

Speaker 2 (47:08):
Is alive is actually Biden, thank you.

Speaker 1 (47:13):
They don't want people to know that what happened to
Kennedy was that he got the vaccine.

Speaker 2 (47:20):
That's what I said.

Speaker 3 (47:22):
I say about RFK Junior though, is like of course
he's crazy.

Speaker 1 (47:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (47:29):
Yeah, the government killed his dad and his uncle and
made it look like a random person did it.

Speaker 1 (47:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (47:40):
There was also a new break in the JFK thing
or somebody who was like in the car that there
was a second bullet, which is new.

Speaker 1 (47:48):
And the government second bullet. No no, yeah, okay, I
mean there's already two bullets.

Speaker 2 (47:54):
That we know of.

Speaker 3 (47:55):
There was like a second bullet in the car, in the.

Speaker 1 (47:58):
Car that they just like kind of kicked to the side. Yeah,
LBJ found it, Like, yeah.

Speaker 2 (48:07):
That's neat lb found it.

Speaker 1 (48:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (48:10):
Then he passed a bunch of civil rights laws and
then started the Vietnam War.

Speaker 2 (48:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (48:14):
I believe a Secret Service agent accidentally blew Kennedy's head
off accidentally or.

Speaker 3 (48:19):
Not, but oh, that's you believe in that one.

Speaker 1 (48:22):
I believe that one. Yeah, And that's why they were like,
first of all, when they called RFK Junior, they were like, sir,
there's been a terrible accident, and that was like the
Secret Service calling and yeah, that's my that's the theory
that makes the most sense to me. I believe that happened.

Speaker 3 (48:38):
There was a JFK com melt steel beams.

Speaker 1 (48:42):
His coum does melt still beams and a lot of
people don't realize that. Yeah, then he needed to be stopped.

Speaker 3 (48:48):
People don't know that about Irish Catholics because.

Speaker 2 (48:52):
You gotta watch out for us folks, watch out dangerous.

Speaker 3 (48:57):
Don't don't underestimate the Irish.

Speaker 1 (49:01):
Irish It'll be fine either way.

Speaker 2 (49:03):
Either way.

Speaker 1 (49:04):
You'll be fine either way. That is something like I
remember an old Irish man was like, you know what
they said about Kennedy, like to me, like trying to
give me Irish pride. He's like Kennedy always said, let
him underestimate us. They always underestimate the Irish Catholics. Oh my,
okay man, all.

Speaker 3 (49:24):
Right, I was kidding. But also he did Look one
thing I'll say about Kennedy, he did leave his fluids
all over that car and then Nixon had to like
sit in them.

Speaker 2 (49:35):
Yeah, it depends on how well it was wiped down,
though we don't know yet.

Speaker 3 (49:39):
That's power. There's no there's no wiping that down. You
you can't wipe down the president's brain. You can't put
a towel down a fucking.

Speaker 1 (49:52):
Murder car to like ride around murder car of the
of the person who had your job is so wild,
but also like suggests the level of complicity by LBJ
and Nixon, which I'm not totally is not totally outside
of the realm of post.

Speaker 2 (50:12):
They should have called Harvey Kaitel from Pulp Infant Pulp
Fiction exactly.

Speaker 1 (50:17):
That's where they.

Speaker 3 (50:21):
Like every president, every president should have to like sit
in a car filled with like the skeletons of other presidents. Yeah,
and it's also like bodies of everyone murdered by the
American Empire. It's like a really big car.

Speaker 2 (50:38):
It would be another planet. I think they would have
to go to. But yeah, no, sit with the ghosts.
There you go.

Speaker 3 (50:44):
I do like in like England when they have all
the scary like skeletons of famous dead people everywhere. Church,
you know, there's that scary church. Yeah, there's like the
scary church where like royals get married and it's full
of like the skeleton of King whatever, bishop whomever, and

(51:07):
like literally there's skeletons with like a crown on it.
It's so scary. But it feels we should do more
of that.

Speaker 2 (51:15):
America in general is like more all about that denial
of death America.

Speaker 3 (51:22):
There's not a better explanation of America than just like
wiping down the vinyl in the fucking car presidential limo.

Speaker 2 (51:33):
This never happened. The wheels rotated and literally, it's never happened.

Speaker 3 (51:38):
This limousine's fine, what car is and like literally like
to America.

Speaker 1 (51:43):
To America being a drama queen. The way she was
crawling all over the back of the car.

Speaker 2 (51:51):
She could attended, she could a dented the trunk and
that would have come out of her end, but.

Speaker 3 (51:55):
She was in the car. All that stuff happened in
this car that you then ride in and and that's
so yeah, we're just like, nope, we wiped it down.
This didn't happen, America.

Speaker 2 (52:07):
Wipe it down, because we did. We wiped it out. Yeah,
we wiped it down, and bring the black light in here.
They don't believe we didn't wipe it down. We took
it to my friend Jimmy's house and had the wolf
come by exactly. That's why I'm wearing this Banana Sluve shirt.

Speaker 3 (52:22):
That is what they did. Also, for sure they had
Jimmy the Wolf come by to.

Speaker 1 (52:26):
Quick once over and then but it would be like
if they did the Jimmy the Wolf thing and then
instead of like having the car smashed at a you know,
car smashing place at an auto yard. They they were
like all right and then like putting this on to roh.
So yeah, we're just gonna put it right back out,

(52:46):
all right. We do have to talk about that thirty
five because right right, So one of its key advantages
is it's near impossibility of being tracked by radar, So
that makes it bad when it malfunctions and like ejects
the pilot with that warning. This is the third military
Class A mishappen the past six weeks. That Class A
mishaps are incidents in which the damage involved racks up

(53:12):
over two point five million dollars. But yeah, this is
just the latest embarrassment involving the F thirty five jet.
The story of this particular jet like really crystallizes the
abject absurdity, grotesqueerye of our military spending. So the F
thirty five initiative is the most expensive weapons program ever,

(53:37):
estimated to cost taxpayers more than one trillion dollars over
its sixty year lifespan. So, like, you know, a free
healthcare for everyone is what this plane. Existence of this
plane makes impossible. Estimates for twenty years were initially pegged
at two hundred and thirty three billion dollars in the
actual cost was nearly double that, So it's the one

(54:02):
trillion estimate over the lifespan is probably low. And the Pentagon,
like one of the problems is the Pentagon has always
gone with a process of what's called concurrency with this,
which is where you start production while the aircraft is
still being developed.

Speaker 2 (54:23):
Concurrent build as you go, man, build as you go.
We know the tires are going to look like that,
so put those on.

Speaker 1 (54:29):
So you build the aircraft and then take off and
then fix the problems while it's flying, is the idea proof.
But this leads to unresolved technical problems that have plagued it,
such as the fact that it doesn't operate well in rain,
can't really work in rain in some cases. And so

(54:52):
the Congress like institute this law that was like, Okay,
can we take a look at these projects because like
some of them don't make sense and you're spending like
an entire European nations gross domestic product just to like
build these fucking plans that don't work right, and sounds right, yeah,

(55:13):
but yeah, I mean the spending has nothing to do
with keeping America safe. It's just more evidence that military
spending is a mutually beneficial financial shell game between governments
and corporations.

Speaker 2 (55:26):
Yeah that and like Lockheed has it. Lockheed has a
stranglehold on like everything too, Like the whole thing is
Lockheed Martin. Yeah, you can't, but it's like a fucking
mcflurry machine. It's like, you can't send somebody else to
do that. You got to have our people come by
to do that. So they, like a lot of people
say that, like who is it one of these people
who was analyzing the Prome quote. I had a sense

(55:47):
after my first ninety days that the government was not
in charge of the program. Yes, makes sense.

Speaker 1 (55:53):
And none of them they don't get used. They keep
making them and they're not being used because of a
lack of spare parts and maintenance pain Dude, we're still
the Vella. They're building it. They're building they're just like
crapping these things out that can't work in the fucking
rain and don't have any spare parts or maintenance equipment.

(56:14):
Because they have there's only one place to get it,
which is a corporation that has no competitive reason to
do anything you needed to because they're the only ones
who fucking make it, because it's like, okay, but go
with me.

Speaker 3 (56:30):
Here, guys, what if we all get a steak in
the jet?

Speaker 1 (56:36):
Yeah, there we go.

Speaker 2 (56:38):
I just worked on it a bit. If they said
it was four hundred and thirty five billion in the
first twenty years, we've all been paying seven dollars a year. Yeah,
over the last twenty.

Speaker 3 (56:50):
Okay, so we all got like we all get to
own like a little percentage of the the jet that
they fly into nowhere.

Speaker 1 (56:58):
How the fuck is that not the case?

Speaker 2 (57:00):
Though?

Speaker 1 (57:01):
Like that we don't that like that, we don't aren't
part owners of Lockheed Martin at this point, Like we're
paying with our fucking tax dollars.

Speaker 3 (57:12):
Is a family, We're more like a family.

Speaker 1 (57:17):
Here your way into this family.

Speaker 2 (57:21):
Yeah. The other really fucked up part is that, like,
first of all, they're the largest institutional consumer of fossil fuels. Yes,
and they recently told shareholders at a meeting to vote
fucking no on a resolution that would have created a
report on how the company is going to reduce fossil
fuel use, like in line with the Paris Agreement. Uh,
they said, quote in the board's reasoning shareholders should vote

(57:43):
no on the resolution because it is premature and not
in the best interest of our company or our shareholders.
That Earth Earth death is not in our interest. And
then also like when you look at it, like there
was a study about like just greenhouse emissions from the
beginning of the invasion of Afghanistan, and you know the
largest portion of this is from military jets.

Speaker 1 (58:04):
Yeah, yeah, cool, they use no But we need to
like start fucking recycling more like if you it's your
fault if you left an aluminum can and a trash
can like that, that's what's causing climate change.

Speaker 2 (58:18):
Wait, what kind of straw are using? It's not that
this jet uses one thousand This jet uses that one
thousand straw, You motherfucker. One thousand, three hundred and forty
gallons of jet fuel per hour is what users?

Speaker 3 (58:32):
What's that MPG on that man was not meant to fly?

Speaker 1 (58:35):
Man was meant to fly? In glimpse, yeah origin.

Speaker 3 (58:39):
If only we lived in the steam age.

Speaker 1 (58:42):
Well you we we it's coming back when we're all
By the time we're elderly, we're all going to be
living through another age of giant durrectuals.

Speaker 3 (58:51):
Jack Jack confirmed steam punk.

Speaker 2 (58:55):
Is that or is that the new way the fucking
wealthy escape the hordes of the people. They go, we
got to take to the skies.

Speaker 1 (59:02):
Actually, I bet they're easy to shoot down though, right.

Speaker 3 (59:05):
That's what they're gonna do with the spaceships.

Speaker 2 (59:07):
Well, I feel like they gotta go. You can't just go.
You can't go from Earth to spaceship right away. I
feel like the middle you don't.

Speaker 3 (59:13):
Think Jeff Bezos, You don't think Bezos and Elon Musk
and those guys don't have a spaceport lined up.

Speaker 2 (59:19):
They like, Yeah, I'm sure they do. But I'm saying,
like I think for most people, like not everyone is
gonna get there. I feel like there's gonna be like
the five hundred feet in the sky version of a
rich people city that only came down for Yeah, yeah,
something like that. But yeah, eventually it will be space ships.

Speaker 3 (59:36):
But it'll be a city made of jets, city made
of fighter jets, and everybody flies with little fighter jets around.
It's like a little top gun world.

Speaker 2 (59:46):
Oh perfect.

Speaker 3 (59:47):
Personally, I can't wait because I'll definitely be one of
the chosen ones and not one of the people left
to die on How does it.

Speaker 1 (59:53):
Burns because bloodstream is just forty percent jet fuel.

Speaker 3 (59:57):
Like, you know what, Yeah, I can't wait. Maybe I'll
get to live in a house here. All the rich people.

Speaker 2 (01:00:05):
Yeah, we'll run them all out of town. We'll I'll
run them into the sky. That's right, guys.

Speaker 3 (01:00:10):
You know what else they have at the Henry Ford Museum.
I want to go there so bad now. They have
the fucking chair Abraham Lincoln.

Speaker 2 (01:00:22):
Really the place, it's all seating where people have had
their fucking dome piece.

Speaker 1 (01:00:28):
It's only progressives who got murdered in the.

Speaker 3 (01:00:32):
Yeah, it's a warning.

Speaker 1 (01:00:35):
Yeah, bitch, that's righteout Henry.

Speaker 2 (01:00:40):
Yeah, fucking sit down, watch your back. That's all we
got to say over here. Wow, can you sit in it?

Speaker 1 (01:00:46):
No, they also got the shoes. They also have the
sandals Gandhi was wearing when he got.

Speaker 3 (01:00:51):
Henry Ford was for sure like, I'll see you at
the cross. Yeah, that's what Henry Ford said to the
jeers in my model when he was reprinting the Protocols
of the Elders of Zion and trying to get distributed.

Speaker 1 (01:01:06):
Putting everybody's glove compartment.

women who I thought were like interesting, No women or
people of color I thought were like worth including in
my conversations with great musicians. Yeah, they're like not Joni Mitchell.
And he's like, no, I don't think she's very good.
It's just crazy. I mean, Yon Winner is you know,

(01:02:30):
