Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of Laws
Trendulous or laws trendeles that one courtesy of Vanadium Silver
on the discord in reference to the uh something that
I saw. I saw a bus add that said laws,
(00:22):
Angelus Miles Laws, Laws. It's for a lawyer, And so
I just I had some thoughts on like just doing
a pun for the sake of punning, Like you need
to have some content, Like it can't just be see
what we did there, and in this case, like I
(00:43):
don't think anybody is impressed by that pun personally.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Wait what was it for again?
Speaker 1 (00:48):
He said the lawyer. I mean, yeah, I mean laws.
I guess it like sticks in my head and now
I'm doing.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
I think you're your editor. Bring Yeah, I'm just like,
this doesn't work.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
It so stupid bringing this up again. But it did
remind me of that the sushi place called Miso Fishy
in Santa Monica. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
I don't like that.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
That is no, that is pun. You're using a pun
for the sake of it being a pun, but you're
harming yourself. Yeah, you're just like, but I thought of
this and I can't not do it, and I can'tnot
make it the name of the restaurant that my parents
are giving me money to open, presumably.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Also, I just don't like the miso broken English.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
No, it's racist. It's like it's a I'm not what
you don't want sushi to be smell fishy, and then
it's adding a sexual a disturbing sexual connotation to the
bad smell that you've just described your food with. Yeah,
it's all all bad things. On the other hand, it's
(02:05):
a pun that works on like three different levels.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
So I mean, but also it feels like right wing
when you're like like city, Yeah, you know.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
That's the thing I was saying. It like feels like
Judge Dread a little bit, you know, like that's who,
that's who. That's an ad for.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
It's like a show about like some dirty, hairy character. Yeah,
like fucking up l A.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
But but it's not like this is a bus ad
for lawyers, which are people who are there to be like, hey,
have you been an accident? Like can we get you
money from the powers that be? So to be like
Los Angeles just feels a little misguided. Anyways, we're gonna
cover this on the next three episodes. Uh, my name
is Jack. O'Brien. That over there is mister Miles. This
(02:54):
is our first episode since the polls closed in across
the country. Yeah, California seems it seems bad, but it's
still too early to say for sure. We don't know.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
Yeah, Steve Hilton, I mean Steve Hilton and Visarah definitely
feel they are definitely going.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
That's locked in. Tom Steyer is not going to make it.
The billionaire who tried to like I don't know, really
tried to bludge in his way through people don't.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
Yeah, it doesn't doesn't. It doesn't seem like I don't know,
every everyone's like it's too close to it.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
It's still close. It's still close.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
That one is even the gardner I think.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
I don't know, it depends. I've not seen anyone fully
call it yet.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Yeah, tom Steyer was the choice of the DS. Like
on the d S a thing they were like, I
don't know, like we don't have really good options here, but.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
They're like based on the platform, like this guy actually
like saying progressive ship.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Progressive ship, so he would do that?
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Is he a class trader?
Speaker 1 (04:02):
That's that's what we need.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
The problem when you're a billionaire running It's like, bro,
there's other ways. Look if you I think this.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Has been a criticism a lot of billionaires who want
to get into politics. It's like, there's so many other
ways you can like actually affect change as a billionaire
than merely like and.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
I'm the guy who's going to be governor.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
At the same time, program we are going to need
a class rate. They're not going to let somebody who's
not a billionaire. Yeah, they're gonna kill them before they
get in their prosstrator. Who's it gonna be. They's gonna
be the Marriott guy up in Illinois? Is it going
to be? Uh? Yeah, it doesn't look like it's gonna
be styre, but yeah, the Besara guy is like super
(04:43):
heavily funded by all of the worst, just like a
who's who of the worst public interests possible. Yeah, start
against a.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Republican establishment figure there, but yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
The mayor's race still still.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Race, still too close to call. But it's not looking
good for Nythia and it is looking good for Spencer Pratt, which.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
I mean as of right.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
I mean a lot of people who are saying that
there's still a huge bulk of the mail in vote
to count right now that the gap is about forty
thousand votes.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Still early scene shifts, Like.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
In twenty twenty two, we've seen things like men Rick
Caruso was ahead of like Karen Bass by ten points.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
I remember, yeah, yeah, first night, and then that slowly
went way.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
But so Bass is through and then it's a question
of whether it's gonna be Pratt or Nythia like we said.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
And but let's not forget Karen Bass wanted to be
run against Spencer Pratt.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Yeah, they're doing the twenty sixteen thing. Yeah, they're making
the same exact democratic mistake that they've made before. And
Spencer Pratt, I will say, seems perfectly designed to like
his whole candidacy is the well, something's got to change Candadacy.
This guy's gonna shake things up Canadacy. And that's what
(05:59):
he said.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
I that's the thing is there. People are are are
so repulsed by him too.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
It's I don't know, like if it ends up being
Bass and Pratt, it couldn't fucking.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
I don't know, man, I've been burned before by somebody
who seems repulsive, and yet every time, like people get
to vote, they're like, maybe this guy so I just
I feel like the this mainstream Democratic Party is I'll
believe them actually winning a race against somebody who's designed
(06:33):
to just be an outsider candidate. When I see it,
it doesn't doesn't usually go so well for them. But
we'll say, hopefully Nehia knocks him off. We just know
we have and we have a progressive in in office.
We don't know. We also don't know where Tom Keen is,
(06:53):
but he did win his primary last night.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
He was unopposed, real ran away with it. Gone for
almost ninety days at this.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Ninety days to deal with an unspecified medical issue.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
He's maxing, he's ball maxing, he's saying recovery. So it's
like presumably like some sort of yeah, maybe went to
the West coast. I mean they said there were uber
rides in San Francisco.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
I don't know. Maybe he was getting he's getting treatment
for something.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
He's like, I don't want people to know that I
have an addiction problem before they vote for me in
the primary or something. Right, I mean, he's running on
a post, so I don't honestly don't know what that
could be. But he said recently said quote right now,
I am focused on my recovery, and under the advice
of healthcare professionals, I will transition from virtual work to
(07:42):
in person work within a matter of weeks.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
This is right before the polls closed.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
At that time, I will be completely transparent as to
the nature of my medical condition.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Interesting, very fucking weird. Well, we're all waiting waiting to
hear about that.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
I get like the.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Medical privacy aspect of certain things, but when you're an
elected official and you have gone completely missing, there is
a bit of transparency that has to be there rather
than like, yeah, when people are just going, I don't know,
he's trading stocks, there's uber rides happening, he's just not
saying anything.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Tune in at eleven for the amazing nature of my
medical leave. Yea, yeah, yeah, Well he's going to be
going against a progressive candidate, right, I believe so so.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
And but this is a district where that has like,
you know, Trump's golf course and a bunch of other shit.
In New Jersey, he had the he had the blessing
of Donald Trump, you know, or rather the endorsement of him.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
So there's like a guy who lost a primary that
was endorsed by Donald Trump, and people were like, whoa
Trump got fucked up? Yeah, I'm just like, I don't know, man,
it's going to take a little bit more to the
real thing is.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
The juxtaposition of a Trump endorsed candidate next to someone
who has not has nothing to do with Matt Yeah,
that's rather than like the thing where Trump's like, you
see what happened last night when he was talking about
Ken Paxton winning, He's like, We're gonna be fine.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
It's like that's a primer of whatever. Dude, whatever. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Anyways, Uh, good news for Donald Trump is he's still
nailing these cognitive tests. Yeah, nailing nailing them like one
after the other, Like they're giving him to him right
when he wakes up every morning. And a journalist asked
(09:32):
doctor oz why why why is he constantly going to
see the doctor to get cognitive.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Tests, any tests? Like why is he getting checkups?
Speaker 3 (09:42):
He's like, oh, yeah, I'm in perfect but it's my
it's my you know by quarterly physical that I have.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Bi weekly physicals that I have.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Because someone was asking just about like, is not a
little strange all the fucking appointments and shit, and doctor
Osden not a great person to be speaking out loud
about anything except for maybe cardiology. But this journalist just
followed up. He's like, yeah, well, can you just explain
that a little bit more. This answer is freaky.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
I just wanted to follow up on her question behind me.
If the president's in such perfect health, why does he
keep coming back in for checkups. I think he likes
the results. He does really well.
Speaker 5 (10:21):
He aces to test every single day, and I do
actually believe that he is curious to make sure everything
is going in the right direction. He's a very meticulous
person in so many ways that are often underappreciated. But
for him to want to know all the numbers and
keep on top of him, it's the same reason he
calls people at odd hours because something's on his mind.
He wants to deal with it.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Yes and Purple, just say that again. I mean he
does it because he likes the results.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
He likes getting good results. He goes to the doctor
more times than somebody who's about to go on hospice
because he like he's racking up wins at the doctor's office.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
I don't. I'm not addicted to cocaine. I like the
way it smells.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
That's right, That's what it is.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Uh, this is the part that the answer is a
little bit weird that we kind of missed.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
He does really well. He aces to test every single day.
Ace is the test every single day?
Speaker 6 (11:24):
So is he?
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Is he having a daily cognitive daddy?
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Are you still with us? Test? It can't be that.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
It can't like that's that is that even medically suggested
where it's like a minute by minute test that doesn't
really change.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
I don't know, Miles, We've never been in this position
before where somebody who is teetering on the brink of
dementia according to people who like are giving like a
favorable who are like, let's see where he's going with this.
Like even they are like, well, you know he's old
and you know sharp for his age. Even they are like,
(12:09):
you know, this is like something something that we probably
need to keep an eye on. You know. So this
is a person who could go We just saw a
president go the wrong direction at this age. It would
make sense to me, honestly, it would make sense to
me if the power like whoever has more power than
(12:32):
the president, or you know, the crowd around him, the
group that works around him to like manage the president
are just like we need to be regularly daily checking
up on his mental acuity because there are signs. Granted,
I don't think they they will do anything once he
(12:54):
stops being able to pick which one is the elephant.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
That's you know, that's that's up by that hamburger.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Uh, this is a three crocodiles, sir.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
I mean, that's the thing.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
It's like, isn't the test pretty standard? Like just from
the repetition the answers, Yeah, so, I it's That's what's
just so fucking terrifying is that like they are doing
like there's so many versions of this one is like
he misspoke, right, It's like yeah, and every time he
means every time he takes it, he aces it, which
is we know that's a fucking lie.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
But then the idea, though, too, is that they have
like this up this pact that they're like, the second
he doesn't know what a fucking rhino is, we gotta
do something.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
Until then we'll let all the other freaky shit happen.
Where he's up all night just fucking posting, just ship posting.
That's okay, the lack of consistency of thought or whatever,
that's fine, but when when it becomes provable.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
But that he doesn't know rhino or camel.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Then we may think, I've said this before that it's
the equivalent of somebody bragging about how many field sobriety
tests they're nailing, you know, like the police keep yeah,
I'm a I'm a perfect driver, because the police keep
giving me field sobriety tests and I keep nailing them.
(14:19):
I I wonder if once he starts failing the cognitive exams,
they just start giving him field sobriety tests to see if,
like he's I don't I don't know if he'd do
much better in those, because he does seem a little he's.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Family on it. Yeah, yeah, you know, I'd be like, oh, huh,
it's a gabanca.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
We've seen him that up before.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
God, damn it, damn it. We have seen how he's fine.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
I think in his rape trial he identified Carroll Eugene
Carroll as his wife at the time, So he's not
he's not always the best at picking people up. Well,
we'll find we're working. We're brainstorming, sir. We'll come up
with a test that you can ace every morning. Let's uh,
let's take a quick break. We'll be right back, and
(15:19):
we're back we're back and the peace plan has left
the building. We've been on the edge of our seats. Yeah,
and uh doesn't seem.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
I believed Marco Rubio when he said, if.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
We can't believe Marco Rubio, who can we believe Myles.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
Yeah, it's yeah, it's escalating again. Trump's still just like, yeah,
we'll see.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
I mean, maybe they'll do I don't know. They should
make a deal already.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
Uh, but yeah, they American and Iranian forces quote launched missiles, drones,
and retaliatory strikes on Tuesday after the US attacked an
oil tanker bound for Iran. US Center Command said it
had disabled the tanker attempting to reach Iran after the
crew quote ignored repeated warnings and a fucking jet basically
(16:12):
hit the engine room with a missile. And then they
said there was a new round of Iranian missile and
drone strikes and.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Like they're like, we successfully defeated.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
None of them actually reached their target, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary
Guard Corps. Their statement was like, yeah, yeah, we were
targeting places, you know, like the US Fifth Fleet in
Bahrain in retaliation for the strike against the boat, because
they you know, the US is just firing on boats now.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Not not much of a ceasefire happening here, not.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
Much of it doesn't seem conducive to actually finding any
kind of agreement, and it sounds like, I mean, I
don't know how this is going to work because Trump
is so like he's fucking mentally gone. There's no option
to him that looks up like that would actually work
for the Iranians that Trump like Trump's versions like, you
(17:08):
give us everything, you don't have anything, You get.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
This thing, open this every one you start calling me dead.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
D yeah, and you name your capital to trump Ron right,
Like that's where it's at because again, anything else it
will be seen as weakness, whether it was like a
fund to rebuild Iran for the parts that have been
destroyed by military strikes. He's like, it can't be called
a fund or something. It's like it's got to be
an investment something.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
It can't be you know.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
He's like he's so terrified of it being seen as
as America giving Iran money, even if it's their own
assets that have been frozen. So it's just a very
I yeah, this is just going to be the back
and forth, up and down, up and down until something
actually gives.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Ryan Grim said in an interview that there are are
pretty reliable rumors that the Iranian officials are consulting psychiatrists,
like psychiatrists focused on like senior citizens during these negotiations,
because he's so erratic and unstable, and so they're just like,
how do we how do we fucking deal with a
(18:17):
person that is this unrainged.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
It's not even a there's no strat like they're truly
they're like, I don't even there's no game theory or anything.
They're like, oh, yeah, no, no, no, this guy is
obsessed with this one like I don't know, yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
This one trick that. Yeah, they're consulting doctors to find
the one trick for dealing with somebody who's completely lost
their mind and on a death drive. The Daily Beast
also just ran an article noting that Trump was posting
eighteen times a day in the month of April, which,
you know, like it during his first administration, I think
(18:53):
a lot of posts was like, you know, two hundred
times in a month, and now he upped that to
I think like six hundred something in April or seven
hundred something in May. He was posting twenty seven times
a day, eighty eight hundred and sixty one posts a
day for eight hundred and sixty one posts in May good. Yeah,
(19:16):
just and just the quality of the post is just
up all night posting slop just like and then dozing
off in meetings during the day. And like, if this
was anyone else, including like a teenager, we'd be trying
to get them help of some sort.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
We betake your phone twenty seven times a day. You're
losing it and you're not even a comedian.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
They're having fun tweets, they're just weird AI slop shit
posts and what it's.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
All a slop. It's like ranting conspiracy theories about like
his latest thing. I mean he keeps focusing on Obama.
I think he really wants to, like, you know, arrest
Obama if he's taking weird like find like older.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
People time travel to like be that they had years ago.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
Yeah yeah, and they're stall and that's all present to them.
When your brain starts dissolving, when the barriers of the
time space continuum start breaking down, like old fucking he's
gonna start.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
Saying like you know, the like Christmas Carol type shit
about people visiting him. Yeah, you know, like the things
he's seen, like he's gonna like that feels like the
next thing is just him outwardly being like what and.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
I I had a vision.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
I believe it, And uh, this is again like it's
so we keep saying this. But the people that are
around him and hiding this, they have to I don't know,
I don't know, like they have to face some kind
of accountability, but like people really need to be talking
about this in a where it's like, you guys are
fucking propping this guy up. He has no business being
(20:52):
in office for so many fucking reasons. But now we're
at the point where this guy has completely lost the
plot and he's still here just saying whatever, pretending to
be president.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Yeah, and.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
This whole time just doing tremendous damage to everyone's future.
Is economically planetarily, I just I think I just came.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
Up with that word. No, planetarily is a real word,
and you know, just our physical safety. So yeah, I
don't know, I hope, I hope it's worth it. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
The fact that because I remember like when it when
it was on Twitter, I guess I noticed it more,
you know, And it like the fact that he was
posting so much in his first administration, it was just
like NonStop, We're four x the amount of time like
his first administration. We were all like, how could he
be the president and be posting this much? As is
fucking crazy. He's doing it four times as much and
(21:48):
it's just like nobody notices because it's on truth Social,
which is just a fake, stupid site. But the way
that they try and get out of it, they claim
that his assistant is doing some of the posting for him,
including bringing him printed out drafts that he approves or disapproves.
But I feel like that would make more sense if
(22:09):
he was like posting at times that would like other
people are up. But the fact that he's like posting
through the ning, this.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
Guy's is maybe in a bark a lounger on his
fucking phone in bed. I don't know what his middle
of the night fucking chill style is. But there's not
someone print because that again, they want to create some
kind of level of legitimacy, as if that's work.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
It's like, here's a draft, sir, that you.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
Edited, Okay, capitalize this random fucking word and no, yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
Yeah, do you think he does little like editor notes
where he's like underline random strike.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
That's why the words just it's just so weird. That's
how he pretends. He's like, Yep, no, I didn't like that.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
It's like, we don't typically capitalize particles in a sense.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Also big words, sir. We're very impressed that you were
able to use that word. And let's talk. Supreme Court
has been like, no, we meant what we said. Jim
Crow for everybody, for everybody.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
Yeah, I mean that lower court ruling that prevented Alabama
from using that racist congressional map that was like like
you know, struck down in twenty twenty three that they
dusted off after the Supreme Court ruling, they went back
and cried to the Supreme Court. And yes, the Supreme
Court just came through fully blessed the use of that
map for November. The three liberal justices were the only
(23:36):
ones on the right side of humanity. So Justice Sonameiro
wrote that quote. Just as Alabama doubled down on racial discrimination,
the Court today doubles down on chaos. In addition to
being wrong on the merits, the Court's decision inflicts two
grave harms on the public. It debases the democratic process
by upending Alabama's entire election in the name of permitting
Alabama to discriminate against black Alabamians. It also corrodes the
(23:57):
rule of law by rewarding Alabama's gamesmanship and outright defiance
of court orders.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Yeah, it's shit, is fucking just exhausting.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Right, just because they came back and like did that
quicker than the court was, Like they they used the
court ruling to like break the law essentially, and the
conservative justices are like, yeah, yeah, that's fine. I don't know, just.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
Together a fucking answer that seems rational, and it is.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
It's in the spirit of the law, which in this
case is white supremacy, then will allow it.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
Yeah, it's all about the facto racism, never never going away.
And this is also the same week we learned that
Pete hagg Seth is also preventing women and black naval
officers from a promotion to a board of.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
Like senior Navy admirals. It's just yeah, just straight up yeah,
there's no no fucking way around it.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
But again, this is this was foretold from the beginning
with what you get with the Trump presidency and especially
the second administration bringing in the Crusades obsessed freak like
Pete hagg Seth.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Yeah, should we talk he Man? Should we talk about
the he Man movie? That's coming out to see it?
So it's a remake. First of all, it's it's getting
fine reviews. It's like over. I think it's fresh on
Rotten Tomatoes. It is like in the fifties on Metacritic,
which as we know, so it's seventy six on Rotten
(25:22):
Tomatoes and I think in the fifties on Metacritic. But
it is a remake of a movie that almost didn't
have an ending because the producers ran out of money
the Dolph Lungren he.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
Man I ever saw that one.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
They tried selling the Castle Grayscale Gray Skull set during
the production to pay for the final fight between he
Man and skeletor because they ran out of money.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
Wait, but that shit happened at Castle Gray Skull. Well,
uh no more, it's actually happened. It happened. It's gonna
happen in a mall parking lot in fucking Toronto.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Uh So anything over like the thirties I think is
kind of an accomplishment for this movie. Also, it's directed
by Travis Knight, who we've talked about before. Not the
White Center drafted by the Lakers in the nineties.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
Oh oh wait, no wait, he didn't go to to
Stanford with Yukon I think, yeah, Mark Mason is what
I was thinking about.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
Yeah, but Travis Knight is the guy who made Kubo
and the Two Strings and the Bumblebee movie, which is
the best of the Transformers movies. It was like, well,
what if somebody made a Transformers movie that was good
kind of the premise. I feel like that might have
been how he pitched it. And that's the thing I know,
(26:44):
because of parenthood, it's not like I was a good out.
You don't have to qualify that at the theaters. Look, guys,
I don't. I don't play with Transformers by myself that much.
What I said that he's he's also an interesting thing.
He's the son of Phil Knight.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
Yeah, because him and his dad's arted that studio, like.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
Started that studio with like their billions of dollars that whatever.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
Also, they also have the fucking wildest special edition sneakers
every time this kid makes them. Not kid, this guy
makes a movie like the ParaNorman foam posits. Yeah, that's
because of Travis Knight. There was like I remember the
Box Trolls had a Nike roashie. Uh like yeah, there
are core line dunks. See this is my this is
(27:26):
my sneak, rattled brain. Yeah, but yeah yeah yeah. Phil
Knight's son.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
Also former rapper Chili Tea. Did you know that dropped
an album in nineteen ninety three with I think produced
by the Bomb Squad, Like god, yeah, and one of
the producers on it is like not gonna lie, man,
it holds up. You can listen to it and it
still sounds pretty good. Like he didn't bother to like
(27:53):
try and create much of an impact or you know,
it was just we dropped this one album, No Wearing,
No anything, and then nobody listened to it and it
went away. But the album's good. So if you have
more interested in that than me, you can go check
out the album by Chili Tea that dropped in nineteen
(28:15):
ninety three.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
Oh what is this?
Speaker 1 (28:16):
Is this?
Speaker 6 (28:20):
It sounds like Oh no, that's that's like a that's
like a golden era hip hop, you know right, This
dude was just it was just like sure, I'll try rapping.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
Michael Jordan is my best friend to my dad.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
The most probably the most impressive NEPO resume that I've seen. Like,
he obviously took a massive, the massive lead on Third
for Home, but he did some he did some fun
stuff with it, you know.
Speaker 3 (28:54):
Yeah, damn, Okay, what's the new rapper animation happening right
in Chili Tea and the Three Blunts?
Speaker 1 (29:04):
But anyway, So the new movie, The he Man Movie
is getting a right wing backlash because the trailer had
a joke in which he Man's alter ego sits at
a desk with a nameplate reading Adam Glenn. He him. Yeah,
remember that seems like doesn't that seem like it could
be a joke in a right wing movie? Also, like
(29:26):
it could be making fun of pronouns, Like it doesn't
doesn't seem like they're being like hell yeah to pronouns,
Like they're showing him in an emasculated position before he
then becomes he Man. So I think the reason they're
mad is actually, like the message of the movie is,
(29:47):
you know, it's kind of a reverse Manosphere narrative in
which this guy who he like starts out trying to
like build muscles to be he Man and then realizes
that real men can recognize their own feelings and self
worth and find victory not through brute strength, but team building.
According to one of.
Speaker 3 (30:08):
The ruiners, just like an analog for Chili Tea's rap career.
Many and then I realized, I don't need to strive
to be something I'm not. There, you go, I can
be Travis, who likes to do a little stop motion
videos rather than Chili Tea. The dudes seems talented, despite
(30:30):
despite the accusations, but hey, come on, he man, let's see.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
Let's do it. Travis Knight has claimed that Skeletor is
meant to be the embodiment of toxic masculinity. Uh, and
he's played by Jared Leto kind of makes sense. Knight said,
I wanted to I wanted someone to craft their own
version of that, and who's more of an artist of
toxic masculine?
Speaker 2 (30:56):
Yay, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
Jared approached us because he loves Skeletor and used us
because he loves Skeletor and has his own history with
the character. He wanted to swing for the fences when
that's ominous, and ultimately we landed on something that I'm
really happy with. Skeletor is kind of the embodiment of
toxic masculinity. Uh, his own history with Skeletor and the
(31:20):
what if you had added and the less set about
that the better.
Speaker 3 (31:23):
Yeah, what I would be like, all right, here's the thing, man,
I got my own history with Skeletort goes way.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
No, the are you talking about every in history? That's
fucking weird.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
I have my own history with Skeletor. That was my favorite, Uh,
the bad guy that was my fa my favorite Uh
Christmas present that I ever got was Oh really, Castle
Gray School.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
You think that's what Jared Leto's saying. Probably he's seven
hundred years older than you, so he was, like I was.
I remember being forty three when the Castle Place that
came out.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
I got the I got the Castle Gray call.
Speaker 5 (31:55):
He is?
Speaker 1 (31:56):
He is vampiric anyways. I shouldn't say he's vampiic. That
that would imply that he has strange powers and like
travels around with women who seem to be under his spell,
and that that's certainly not read any No, nothing like that.
He's predatory. Anyways. That's trending for today. We're back tomorrow
(32:22):
with all last episode of the show. Until then, be
kind to each other, Be kind to yourself, get your
vaccines where you still can't get your flu shots. We
still can. Don't do nothing about white supremacy, and we
will talk to you all tomorrow. Fight bye. The Daily

Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of Laws
Trendulous or laws trendeles that one courtesy of Vanadium Silver
on the discord in reference to the uh something that
I saw. I saw a bus add that said laws,
(00:22):
Angelus Miles Laws, Laws. It's for a lawyer, And so
I just I had some thoughts on like just doing
a pun for the sake of punning, Like you need
to have some content, Like it can't just be see
what we did there, and in this case, like I
(00:43):
don't think anybody is impressed by that pun personally.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Wait what was it for again?
Speaker 1 (00:48):
He said the lawyer. I mean, yeah, I mean laws.
I guess it like sticks in my head and now
I'm doing.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
I think you're your editor. Bring Yeah, I'm just like,
this doesn't work.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
It so stupid bringing this up again. But it did
remind me of that the sushi place called Miso Fishy
in Santa Monica. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
I don't like that.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
That is no, that is pun. You're using a pun
for the sake of it being a pun, but you're
harming yourself. Yeah, you're just like, but I thought of
this and I can't not do it, and I can'tnot
make it the name of the restaurant that my parents
are giving me money to open, presumably.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Also, I just don't like the miso broken English.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
No, it's racist. It's like it's a I'm not what
you don't want sushi to be smell fishy, and then
it's adding a sexual a disturbing sexual connotation to the
bad smell that you've just described your food with. Yeah,
it's all all bad things. On the other hand, it's
(02:05):
a pun that works on like three different levels.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
So I mean, but also it feels like right wing
when you're like like city, Yeah, you know.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
That's the thing I was saying. It like feels like
Judge Dread a little bit, you know, like that's who,
that's who. That's an ad for.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
It's like a show about like some dirty, hairy character. Yeah,
like fucking up l A.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
But but it's not like this is a bus ad
for lawyers, which are people who are there to be like, hey,
have you been an accident? Like can we get you
money from the powers that be? So to be like
Los Angeles just feels a little misguided. Anyways, we're gonna
cover this on the next three episodes. Uh, my name
is Jack. O'Brien. That over there is mister Miles. This
(02:54):
is our first episode since the polls closed in across
the country. Yeah, California seems it seems bad, but it's
still too early to say for sure. We don't know.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
Yeah, Steve Hilton, I mean Steve Hilton and Visarah definitely
feel they are definitely going.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
That's locked in. Tom Steyer is not going to make it.
The billionaire who tried to like I don't know, really
tried to bludge in his way through people don't.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
Yeah, it doesn't doesn't. It doesn't seem like I don't know,
every everyone's like it's too close to it.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
It's still close. It's still close.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
That one is even the gardner I think.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
I don't know, it depends. I've not seen anyone fully
call it yet.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Yeah, tom Steyer was the choice of the DS. Like
on the d S a thing they were like, I
don't know, like we don't have really good options here, but.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
They're like based on the platform, like this guy actually
like saying progressive ship.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Progressive ship, so he would do that?
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Is he a class trader?
Speaker 1 (04:02):
That's that's what we need.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
The problem when you're a billionaire running It's like, bro,
there's other ways. Look if you I think this.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Has been a criticism a lot of billionaires who want
to get into politics. It's like, there's so many other
ways you can like actually affect change as a billionaire
than merely like and.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
I'm the guy who's going to be governor.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
At the same time, program we are going to need
a class rate. They're not going to let somebody who's
not a billionaire. Yeah, they're gonna kill them before they
get in their prosstrator. Who's it gonna be. They's gonna
be the Marriott guy up in Illinois? Is it going
to be? Uh? Yeah, it doesn't look like it's gonna
be styre, but yeah, the Besara guy is like super
(04:43):
heavily funded by all of the worst, just like a
who's who of the worst public interests possible. Yeah, start
against a.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Republican establishment figure there, but yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
The mayor's race still still.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Race, still too close to call. But it's not looking
good for Nythia and it is looking good for Spencer Pratt, which.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
I mean as of right.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
I mean a lot of people who are saying that
there's still a huge bulk of the mail in vote
to count right now that the gap is about forty
thousand votes.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Still early scene shifts, Like.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
In twenty twenty two, we've seen things like men Rick
Caruso was ahead of like Karen Bass by ten points.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
I remember, yeah, yeah, first night, and then that slowly
went way.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
But so Bass is through and then it's a question
of whether it's gonna be Pratt or Nythia like we said.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
And but let's not forget Karen Bass wanted to be
run against Spencer Pratt.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Yeah, they're doing the twenty sixteen thing. Yeah, they're making
the same exact democratic mistake that they've made before. And
Spencer Pratt, I will say, seems perfectly designed to like
his whole candidacy is the well, something's got to change Candadacy.
This guy's gonna shake things up Canadacy. And that's what
(05:59):
he said.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
I that's the thing is there. People are are are
so repulsed by him too.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
It's I don't know, like if it ends up being
Bass and Pratt, it couldn't fucking.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
I don't know, man, I've been burned before by somebody
who seems repulsive, and yet every time, like people get
to vote, they're like, maybe this guy so I just
I feel like the this mainstream Democratic Party is I'll
believe them actually winning a race against somebody who's designed
(06:33):
to just be an outsider candidate. When I see it,
it doesn't doesn't usually go so well for them. But
we'll say, hopefully Nehia knocks him off. We just know
we have and we have a progressive in in office.
We don't know. We also don't know where Tom Keen is,
(06:53):
but he did win his primary last night.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
He was unopposed, real ran away with it. Gone for
almost ninety days at this.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Ninety days to deal with an unspecified medical issue.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
He's maxing, he's ball maxing, he's saying recovery. So it's
like presumably like some sort of yeah, maybe went to
the West coast. I mean they said there were uber
rides in San Francisco.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
I don't know. Maybe he was getting he's getting treatment
for something.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
He's like, I don't want people to know that I
have an addiction problem before they vote for me in
the primary or something. Right, I mean, he's running on
a post, so I don't honestly don't know what that
could be. But he said recently said quote right now,
I am focused on my recovery, and under the advice
of healthcare professionals, I will transition from virtual work to
(07:42):
in person work within a matter of weeks.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
This is right before the polls closed.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
At that time, I will be completely transparent as to
the nature of my medical condition.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Interesting, very fucking weird. Well, we're all waiting waiting to
hear about that.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
I get like the.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Medical privacy aspect of certain things, but when you're an
elected official and you have gone completely missing, there is
a bit of transparency that has to be there rather
than like, yeah, when people are just going, I don't know,
he's trading stocks, there's uber rides happening, he's just not
saying anything.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Tune in at eleven for the amazing nature of my
medical leave. Yea, yeah, yeah, Well he's going to be
going against a progressive candidate, right, I believe so so.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
And but this is a district where that has like,
you know, Trump's golf course and a bunch of other shit.
In New Jersey, he had the he had the blessing
of Donald Trump, you know, or rather the endorsement of him.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
So there's like a guy who lost a primary that
was endorsed by Donald Trump, and people were like, whoa
Trump got fucked up? Yeah, I'm just like, I don't know, man,
it's going to take a little bit more to the
real thing is.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
The juxtaposition of a Trump endorsed candidate next to someone
who has not has nothing to do with Matt Yeah,
that's rather than like the thing where Trump's like, you
see what happened last night when he was talking about
Ken Paxton winning, He's like, We're gonna be fine.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
It's like that's a primer of whatever. Dude, whatever. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Anyways, Uh, good news for Donald Trump is he's still
nailing these cognitive tests. Yeah, nailing nailing them like one
after the other, Like they're giving him to him right
when he wakes up every morning. And a journalist asked
(09:32):
doctor oz why why why is he constantly going to
see the doctor to get cognitive.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Tests, any tests? Like why is he getting checkups?
Speaker 3 (09:42):
He's like, oh, yeah, I'm in perfect but it's my
it's my you know by quarterly physical that I have.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Bi weekly physicals that I have.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Because someone was asking just about like, is not a
little strange all the fucking appointments and shit, and doctor
Osden not a great person to be speaking out loud
about anything except for maybe cardiology. But this journalist just
followed up. He's like, yeah, well, can you just explain
that a little bit more. This answer is freaky.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
I just wanted to follow up on her question behind me.
If the president's in such perfect health, why does he
keep coming back in for checkups. I think he likes
the results. He does really well.
Speaker 5 (10:21):
He aces to test every single day, and I do
actually believe that he is curious to make sure everything
is going in the right direction. He's a very meticulous
person in so many ways that are often underappreciated. But
for him to want to know all the numbers and
keep on top of him, it's the same reason he
calls people at odd hours because something's on his mind.
He wants to deal with it.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Yes and Purple, just say that again. I mean he
does it because he likes the results.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
He likes getting good results. He goes to the doctor
more times than somebody who's about to go on hospice
because he like he's racking up wins at the doctor's office.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
I don't. I'm not addicted to cocaine. I like the
way it smells.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
That's right, That's what it is.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Uh, this is the part that the answer is a
little bit weird that we kind of missed.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
He does really well. He aces to test every single day.
Ace is the test every single day?
Speaker 6 (11:24):
So is he?
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Is he having a daily cognitive daddy?
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Are you still with us? Test? It can't be that.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
It can't like that's that is that even medically suggested
where it's like a minute by minute test that doesn't
really change.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
I don't know, Miles, We've never been in this position
before where somebody who is teetering on the brink of
dementia according to people who like are giving like a
favorable who are like, let's see where he's going with this.
Like even they are like, well, you know he's old
and you know sharp for his age. Even they are like,
(12:09):
you know, this is like something something that we probably
need to keep an eye on. You know. So this
is a person who could go We just saw a
president go the wrong direction at this age. It would
make sense to me, honestly, it would make sense to
me if the power like whoever has more power than
(12:32):
the president, or you know, the crowd around him, the
group that works around him to like manage the president
are just like we need to be regularly daily checking
up on his mental acuity because there are signs. Granted,
I don't think they they will do anything once he
(12:54):
stops being able to pick which one is the elephant.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
That's you know, that's that's up by that hamburger.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Uh, this is a three crocodiles, sir.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
I mean, that's the thing.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
It's like, isn't the test pretty standard? Like just from
the repetition the answers, Yeah, so, I it's That's what's
just so fucking terrifying is that like they are doing
like there's so many versions of this one is like
he misspoke, right, It's like yeah, and every time he
means every time he takes it, he aces it, which
is we know that's a fucking lie.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
But then the idea, though, too, is that they have
like this up this pact that they're like, the second
he doesn't know what a fucking rhino is, we gotta
do something.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
Until then we'll let all the other freaky shit happen.
Where he's up all night just fucking posting, just ship posting.
That's okay, the lack of consistency of thought or whatever,
that's fine, but when when it becomes provable.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
But that he doesn't know rhino or camel.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Then we may think, I've said this before that it's
the equivalent of somebody bragging about how many field sobriety
tests they're nailing, you know, like the police keep yeah,
I'm a I'm a perfect driver, because the police keep
giving me field sobriety tests and I keep nailing them.
(14:19):
I I wonder if once he starts failing the cognitive exams,
they just start giving him field sobriety tests to see if,
like he's I don't I don't know if he'd do
much better in those, because he does seem a little he's.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Family on it. Yeah, yeah, you know, I'd be like, oh, huh,
it's a gabanca.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
We've seen him that up before.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
God, damn it, damn it. We have seen how he's fine.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
I think in his rape trial he identified Carroll Eugene
Carroll as his wife at the time, So he's not
he's not always the best at picking people up. Well,
we'll find we're working. We're brainstorming, sir. We'll come up
with a test that you can ace every morning. Let's uh,
let's take a quick break. We'll be right back, and
(15:19):
we're back we're back and the peace plan has left
the building. We've been on the edge of our seats. Yeah,
and uh doesn't seem.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
I believed Marco Rubio when he said, if.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
We can't believe Marco Rubio, who can we believe Myles.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
Yeah, it's yeah, it's escalating again. Trump's still just like, yeah,
we'll see.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
I mean, maybe they'll do I don't know. They should
make a deal already.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
Uh, but yeah, they American and Iranian forces quote launched missiles, drones,
and retaliatory strikes on Tuesday after the US attacked an
oil tanker bound for Iran. US Center Command said it
had disabled the tanker attempting to reach Iran after the
crew quote ignored repeated warnings and a fucking jet basically
(16:12):
hit the engine room with a missile. And then they
said there was a new round of Iranian missile and
drone strikes and.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Like they're like, we successfully defeated.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
None of them actually reached their target, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary
Guard Corps. Their statement was like, yeah, yeah, we were
targeting places, you know, like the US Fifth Fleet in
Bahrain in retaliation for the strike against the boat, because
they you know, the US is just firing on boats now.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Not not much of a ceasefire happening here, not.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
Much of it doesn't seem conducive to actually finding any
kind of agreement, and it sounds like, I mean, I
don't know how this is going to work because Trump
is so like he's fucking mentally gone. There's no option
to him that looks up like that would actually work
for the Iranians that Trump like Trump's versions like, you
(17:08):
give us everything, you don't have anything, You get.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
This thing, open this every one you start calling me dead.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
D yeah, and you name your capital to trump Ron right,
Like that's where it's at because again, anything else it
will be seen as weakness, whether it was like a
fund to rebuild Iran for the parts that have been
destroyed by military strikes. He's like, it can't be called
a fund or something. It's like it's got to be
an investment something.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
It can't be you know.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
He's like he's so terrified of it being seen as
as America giving Iran money, even if it's their own
assets that have been frozen. So it's just a very
I yeah, this is just going to be the back
and forth, up and down, up and down until something
actually gives.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Ryan Grim said in an interview that there are are
pretty reliable rumors that the Iranian officials are consulting psychiatrists,
like psychiatrists focused on like senior citizens during these negotiations,
because he's so erratic and unstable, and so they're just like,
how do we how do we fucking deal with a
(18:17):
person that is this unrainged.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
It's not even a there's no strat like they're truly
they're like, I don't even there's no game theory or anything.
They're like, oh, yeah, no, no, no, this guy is
obsessed with this one like I don't know, yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
This one trick that. Yeah, they're consulting doctors to find
the one trick for dealing with somebody who's completely lost
their mind and on a death drive. The Daily Beast
also just ran an article noting that Trump was posting
eighteen times a day in the month of April, which,
you know, like it during his first administration, I think
(18:53):
a lot of posts was like, you know, two hundred
times in a month, and now he upped that to
I think like six hundred something in April or seven
hundred something in May. He was posting twenty seven times
a day, eighty eight hundred and sixty one posts a
day for eight hundred and sixty one posts in May good. Yeah,
(19:16):
just and just the quality of the post is just
up all night posting slop just like and then dozing
off in meetings during the day. And like, if this
was anyone else, including like a teenager, we'd be trying
to get them help of some sort.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
We betake your phone twenty seven times a day. You're
losing it and you're not even a comedian.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
They're having fun tweets, they're just weird AI slop shit
posts and what it's.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
All a slop. It's like ranting conspiracy theories about like
his latest thing. I mean he keeps focusing on Obama.
I think he really wants to, like, you know, arrest
Obama if he's taking weird like find like older.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
People time travel to like be that they had years ago.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
Yeah yeah, and they're stall and that's all present to them.
When your brain starts dissolving, when the barriers of the
time space continuum start breaking down, like old fucking he's
gonna start.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
Saying like you know, the like Christmas Carol type shit
about people visiting him. Yeah, you know, like the things
he's seen, like he's gonna like that feels like the
next thing is just him outwardly being like what and.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
I I had a vision.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
I believe it, And uh, this is again like it's
so we keep saying this. But the people that are
around him and hiding this, they have to I don't know,
I don't know, like they have to face some kind
of accountability, but like people really need to be talking
about this in a where it's like, you guys are
fucking propping this guy up. He has no business being
(20:52):
in office for so many fucking reasons. But now we're
at the point where this guy has completely lost the
plot and he's still here just saying whatever, pretending to
be president.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Yeah, and.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
This whole time just doing tremendous damage to everyone's future.
Is economically planetarily, I just I think I just came.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
Up with that word. No, planetarily is a real word,
and you know, just our physical safety. So yeah, I
don't know, I hope, I hope it's worth it. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
The fact that because I remember like when it when
it was on Twitter, I guess I noticed it more,
you know, And it like the fact that he was
posting so much in his first administration, it was just
like NonStop, We're four x the amount of time like
his first administration. We were all like, how could he
be the president and be posting this much? As is
fucking crazy. He's doing it four times as much and
(21:48):
it's just like nobody notices because it's on truth Social,
which is just a fake, stupid site. But the way
that they try and get out of it, they claim
that his assistant is doing some of the posting for him,
including bringing him printed out drafts that he approves or disapproves.
But I feel like that would make more sense if
(22:09):
he was like posting at times that would like other
people are up. But the fact that he's like posting
through the ning, this.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
Guy's is maybe in a bark a lounger on his
fucking phone in bed. I don't know what his middle
of the night fucking chill style is. But there's not
someone print because that again, they want to create some
kind of level of legitimacy, as if that's work.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
It's like, here's a draft, sir, that you.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
Edited, Okay, capitalize this random fucking word and no, yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
Yeah, do you think he does little like editor notes
where he's like underline random strike.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
That's why the words just it's just so weird. That's
how he pretends. He's like, Yep, no, I didn't like that.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
It's like, we don't typically capitalize particles in a sense.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Also big words, sir. We're very impressed that you were
able to use that word. And let's talk. Supreme Court
has been like, no, we meant what we said. Jim
Crow for everybody, for everybody.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
Yeah, I mean that lower court ruling that prevented Alabama
from using that racist congressional map that was like like
you know, struck down in twenty twenty three that they
dusted off after the Supreme Court ruling, they went back
and cried to the Supreme Court. And yes, the Supreme
Court just came through fully blessed the use of that
map for November. The three liberal justices were the only
(23:36):
ones on the right side of humanity. So Justice Sonameiro
wrote that quote. Just as Alabama doubled down on racial discrimination,
the Court today doubles down on chaos. In addition to
being wrong on the merits, the Court's decision inflicts two
grave harms on the public. It debases the democratic process
by upending Alabama's entire election in the name of permitting
Alabama to discriminate against black Alabamians. It also corrodes the
(23:57):
rule of law by rewarding Alabama's gamesmanship and outright defiance
of court orders.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Yeah, it's shit, is fucking just exhausting.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Right, just because they came back and like did that
quicker than the court was, Like they they used the
court ruling to like break the law essentially, and the
conservative justices are like, yeah, yeah, that's fine. I don't know, just.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
Together a fucking answer that seems rational, and it is.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
It's in the spirit of the law, which in this
case is white supremacy, then will allow it.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
Yeah, it's all about the facto racism, never never going away.
And this is also the same week we learned that
Pete hagg Seth is also preventing women and black naval
officers from a promotion to a board of.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
Like senior Navy admirals. It's just yeah, just straight up yeah,
there's no no fucking way around it.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
But again, this is this was foretold from the beginning
with what you get with the Trump presidency and especially
the second administration bringing in the Crusades obsessed freak like
Pete hagg Seth.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Yeah, should we talk he Man? Should we talk about
the he Man movie? That's coming out to see it?
So it's a remake. First of all, it's it's getting
fine reviews. It's like over. I think it's fresh on
Rotten Tomatoes. It is like in the fifties on Metacritic,
which as we know, so it's seventy six on Rotten
(25:22):
Tomatoes and I think in the fifties on Metacritic. But
it is a remake of a movie that almost didn't
have an ending because the producers ran out of money
the Dolph Lungren he.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
Man I ever saw that one.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
They tried selling the Castle Grayscale Gray Skull set during
the production to pay for the final fight between he
Man and skeletor because they ran out of money.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
Wait, but that shit happened at Castle Gray Skull. Well,
uh no more, it's actually happened. It happened. It's gonna
happen in a mall parking lot in fucking Toronto.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Uh So anything over like the thirties I think is
kind of an accomplishment for this movie. Also, it's directed
by Travis Knight, who we've talked about before. Not the
White Center drafted by the Lakers in the nineties.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
Oh oh wait, no wait, he didn't go to to
Stanford with Yukon I think, yeah, Mark Mason is what
I was thinking about.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
Yeah, but Travis Knight is the guy who made Kubo
and the Two Strings and the Bumblebee movie, which is
the best of the Transformers movies. It was like, well,
what if somebody made a Transformers movie that was good
kind of the premise. I feel like that might have
been how he pitched it. And that's the thing I know,
(26:44):
because of parenthood, it's not like I was a good out.
You don't have to qualify that at the theaters. Look, guys,
I don't. I don't play with Transformers by myself that much.
What I said that he's he's also an interesting thing.
He's the son of Phil Knight.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
Yeah, because him and his dad's arted that studio, like.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
Started that studio with like their billions of dollars that whatever.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
Also, they also have the fucking wildest special edition sneakers
every time this kid makes them. Not kid, this guy
makes a movie like the ParaNorman foam posits. Yeah, that's
because of Travis Knight. There was like I remember the
Box Trolls had a Nike roashie. Uh like yeah, there
are core line dunks. See this is my this is
(27:26):
my sneak, rattled brain. Yeah, but yeah yeah yeah. Phil
Knight's son.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
Also former rapper Chili Tea. Did you know that dropped
an album in nineteen ninety three with I think produced
by the Bomb Squad, Like god, yeah, and one of
the producers on it is like not gonna lie, man,
it holds up. You can listen to it and it
still sounds pretty good. Like he didn't bother to like
(27:53):
try and create much of an impact or you know,
it was just we dropped this one album, No Wearing,
No anything, and then nobody listened to it and it
went away. But the album's good. So if you have
more interested in that than me, you can go check
out the album by Chili Tea that dropped in nineteen
(28:15):
ninety three.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
Oh what is this?
Speaker 1 (28:16):
Is this?
Speaker 6 (28:20):
It sounds like Oh no, that's that's like a that's
like a golden era hip hop, you know right, This
dude was just it was just like sure, I'll try rapping.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
Michael Jordan is my best friend to my dad.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
The most probably the most impressive NEPO resume that I've seen. Like,
he obviously took a massive, the massive lead on Third
for Home, but he did some he did some fun
stuff with it, you know.
Speaker 3 (28:54):
Yeah, damn, Okay, what's the new rapper animation happening right
in Chili Tea and the Three Blunts?
Speaker 1 (29:04):
But anyway, So the new movie, The he Man Movie
is getting a right wing backlash because the trailer had
a joke in which he Man's alter ego sits at
a desk with a nameplate reading Adam Glenn. He him. Yeah,
remember that seems like doesn't that seem like it could
be a joke in a right wing movie? Also, like
(29:26):
it could be making fun of pronouns, Like it doesn't
doesn't seem like they're being like hell yeah to pronouns,
Like they're showing him in an emasculated position before he
then becomes he Man. So I think the reason they're
mad is actually, like the message of the movie is,
(29:47):
you know, it's kind of a reverse Manosphere narrative in
which this guy who he like starts out trying to
like build muscles to be he Man and then realizes
that real men can recognize their own feelings and self
worth and find victory not through brute strength, but team building.
According to one of.
Speaker 3 (30:08):
The ruiners, just like an analog for Chili Tea's rap career.
Many and then I realized, I don't need to strive
to be something I'm not. There, you go, I can
be Travis, who likes to do a little stop motion
videos rather than Chili Tea. The dudes seems talented, despite
(30:30):
despite the accusations, but hey, come on, he man, let's see.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
Let's do it. Travis Knight has claimed that Skeletor is
meant to be the embodiment of toxic masculinity. Uh, and
he's played by Jared Leto kind of makes sense. Knight said,
I wanted to I wanted someone to craft their own
version of that, and who's more of an artist of
toxic masculine?
Speaker 2 (30:56):
Yay, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
Jared approached us because he loves Skeletor and used us
because he loves Skeletor and has his own history with
the character. He wanted to swing for the fences when
that's ominous, and ultimately we landed on something that I'm
really happy with. Skeletor is kind of the embodiment of
toxic masculinity. Uh, his own history with Skeletor and the
(31:20):
what if you had added and the less set about
that the better.
Speaker 3 (31:23):
Yeah, what I would be like, all right, here's the thing, man,
I got my own history with Skeletort goes way.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
No, the are you talking about every in history? That's
fucking weird.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
I have my own history with Skeletor. That was my favorite, Uh,
the bad guy that was my fa my favorite Uh
Christmas present that I ever got was Oh really, Castle
Gray School.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
You think that's what Jared Leto's saying. Probably he's seven
hundred years older than you, so he was, like I was.
I remember being forty three when the Castle Place that
came out.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
I got the I got the Castle Gray call.
Speaker 5 (31:55):
He is?
Speaker 1 (31:56):
He is vampiric anyways. I shouldn't say he's vampiic. That
that would imply that he has strange powers and like
travels around with women who seem to be under his spell,
and that that's certainly not read any No, nothing like that.
He's predatory. Anyways. That's trending for today. We're back tomorrow
(32:22):
with all last episode of the show. Until then, be
kind to each other, Be kind to yourself, get your
vaccines where you still can't get your flu shots. We
still can. Don't do nothing about white supremacy, and we
will talk to you all tomorrow. Fight bye. The Daily
