macho man Randy Savage every time?
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Whatever Mel Gibson was on in that Joe Rogan interview,
I feel like, is the drug that turns you into
macho man? He was. It's just like on every moment
is so tense that it feels like he's gonna collapse
in on himself.

leather fringe like the macho man.

which I Anyway, is this the episode where we tell
you what was trending over the weekend? What is trending
here on Monday morning? My name is Jack O'Brien. That
over there is mister Miles Gray. Are you watching Curious
but never Shy? Are you watching Widows Bay or Widow Bay?
Speaker 2 (04:02):
No? No, no, no, not yet.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
This ship's good. I do you remember? I think it
was last week we were talking about how I would
pretend to ding dung ditch people out of the cowardice. Yeah.
They put that that that is a thing from Widow's
Beck that like I just saw you. I saw it
after I said it like but days.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
After I said it, I don't know, know that's crazy.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
A lot of people were on the discorder like Jack's
just fucking ripping off widow.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Did they really say that? No, it was crazy. I mean,
you know, we're all tapping the same.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Like was it like a childhood flashback?
Speaker 1 (04:39):
It was this character who is a coward, like he's
trying to win over somebody who who he used to
ding dung ditch and he's and he the guys like, yeah,
I remember you and your friends used to. It's Stephen
Root by the way. It's a really great show. But
uh he's he's like, yeah, I remember you and your
(05:01):
friends used to ding dong ditch me. And he's like, oh,
is that what this is about? You're still mad about that?
He's like, no, I just know you're a coward because
you would never press the button when and you guys
would run off laughing. So any to any of the
elderly people that, uh that I pretended to ding dong
di but ran away, you know I find you well, well, well.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
We would always root for you to actually press the button.
Did you know that we'd see you come up and
like he might.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Do it today?
Speaker 1 (05:31):
That would be a crazy thing to do is to
catch a kid doing that and then catch up to
him and his friends and be like, hey, sorry, he didn't.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Actually press your man, didn't even hit the.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Button, bro, And then and then the old guy and
your friends just beat you up together. Anyways, hard recommend
for that. It's a lot of fun. Uh. This is
the episode where we tell you what was trending over
the weekends, what's trending this in the morning, But we
also tell you some things we think are underrated and
overrated and miles.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
You know, we like to start with you asking you something.
What's something you think is underrated?
Speaker 3 (06:11):
This goes out to My Perfect Friend Kurt Henning, great
rap song My Perfect Friend that he wrote after Kurt
Henning died.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
He was gregarious but never shy or something I am not.
It's earlier the memorial to a fallen wrestler.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Wow, underrated. I'm only like kind of familiar with his
general vibe. I'm not like up on the lore he
was taken too soon and that's all me my underrated friend.
The editor said, he's one of the great rappers for.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Sure, for sure.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Yeah, yeah, actually I should say underrated. Macho man Randy
Savage as an MC. But my real one today is
Elijah Jordan Wood, the actor Jordan. Yeah, his name is Jordan, dude,
and he was born before Jordan was the league.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Dude.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
That's how you know that's it's legit. I just got it.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
I saw him in public and it was starstruck. And
because of that, I had to really examine why.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Was I like, oh shit, dude, fucking Elijah Wood.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
And I realized for millennials, this guy's been a like
he's been with us from the Jump Street. I didn't
realize that he was in the David Fincher directed Forever
Your Girl Paula Abdul music video.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
He was, Yes, that's his debut in the David.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
He I gotta remember Foreverend Ever, But does it tell
a story?
Speaker 3 (07:39):
Miles Yeah, he's like he's like he's.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Wearing a suit. He's like the kid in the suit.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Then just I think everyone on like he was in
the good Son North he was also. I was reading
this thing he auditioned for Kindergarten cop and he didn't
get it, and Ivan Reightman told him that quote his
performance was not believable. Wow, And then Elijah Wood was
like yeah, it was kind of a harsh thing to
say to a nine year old, aish.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Thing for a fucking movie.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
But was he saying you're not believable as a kindergartener?
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Whatever it was, that was the note on the audition, like, yeah,
just the performance wasn't believable.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Now we're going for realistic here, lived in and you're
getting giving Oran Annie Brother to chill down.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
The Adventures of Huck Finn. He was fine Eternal Sunshine
for the spot list. I was just again, I think
he's just been so many different things over the course
of his career that I'm just I gotta say. The
Lord of the Rings thing really sealed it from me.
And he just seems like a good guy overall.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Totally had him confused with Toby Maguire, not in like
a broad sense where I was like, those are the
same person in my conscious mind, but in my unconscious
mind whenever I hear a Toby Maguire story, it gets
lumped in under Elijah Wood as well, because I'm a
broken a broken man.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
My grandpa parents met him once when they were extras
uh and deep impact and they were like, he's a
he's a kind man.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
I remember them saying something like that.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
So just every little thing anecdotally I've heard. Now, maybe
maybe I have this all wrong, but I was just
like thinking back, and I'm like, bro, people don't really
talk about Elijah Wood like that.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
They certainly don't.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
I don't know why, you know, but I see you, Elijah.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Did you say anything though?
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Fuck? No, I was too shook.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
He's like so small, he's like this like little guy.
I didn't even notice him until like her Magic's like, I'm.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Like, what the fuck sounds like this? That's Elijah? What
you got a mustache? Like everybody right now.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
He's got a mustache.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
Oh yeah, he's got the little push you know, he's
everyone's rocking the mustache now. It's really actually ingenious disguise
for a lot of like baby faced people, because when
you're studding rocking a mustache like that, people are like,
who the fuck is this guy?
Speaker 2 (09:56):
And you're like, fuck fucking froto.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
There's a profile of the actress Julian Moore in The
New Yorker from a long long time ago, but they
talk about this experience they have where they're like sitting
down with her and like they watch her like come
in from the street of New York, and they're like,
she's kind of invisible. There's like something about her where
she's like hiding in plain sight, and she just like
(10:19):
has this she's got energy about her where like she
could just like turn it on and off and like
the off the off switches just like you don't really
notice her. Yeah, she just like blends in with her environment,
which is like such a crazy thing, like a skill
that like doesn't seem like it should be possible. But yeah,
it sounds like Elijah Wood has it too. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
No, he cause he's like, you know, he's like in
his mid forties now, so he's like got the salt
and pepper thing. Like it's just definitely in your In
my mind, I'm like he's I think he always.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Looks like Frodo Baggins. Yeah, but then you're like, oh no,
this dude is like a middle aged dad. Yeah. Yeah,
just you're you're killing it. You're killing it. Bro could
just tell Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
My underrated is how horny hello Moto ringtone sounds? You know,
the hello Moto.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Hello Moto. Wait do you have a Motorola phone?
Speaker 1 (11:08):
I don't. I don't know. So I went to see
the movie Pressure with my ten year old starring the
hot priest from Fleabag Season two and Brendan Fraser as Eisenhower.
It is about the planning of D Day. It was
a good time at the movies for me because my
son was having a blast and kept whispering things that
just like.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Oh, so this is actually what happens here.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
And like because he's you know, everybody's got their kid,
you know, their kid obsession, whether it be dinosaurs or whatever.
I got. I opened my pack and mine is World
War two. So but it is demographically like the oldest
movie that you could possibly imagine, Like it combines World
(11:52):
War two, which I think I had previously thought was
the oldest genre of movie. But this movie is about
the weather also, which is a thing that the elderly
loved talking about more than anything. So needless to say,
we got more than one phone going off during the
movie because it was it was my ten year old
(12:15):
me and.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
Then everyone and everyone who remembers D Day, yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Really, And an old guy in the room in front
of me had his Hello moto ringo off And I
don't know if it was specifically the like context or
like hearing it in a darkened theater, but like, uh,
I was just like, damn that he that's embarrassing for
so many reasons, but one of them is like to
(12:42):
to have like I don't know if it's just the
new version. Has it always been a woman's voice being
like hello moto.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Oh no, the one I'm thinking of was like the
early one that was like robot voice.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
Oh yeah, there's.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
A woman's lady voice now kind of yeah, they've like
done what Paul did to his robot I'm rocky for
a little bit where they've like kind of sexed it
up a little bit.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Oh wait, who's this one? What's this? What's is this
this one?
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Hell? That one? No, it was a little hornier than that,
but hornier than that, right, yeah, Oh you don't think
that sounds horny. It's a little breathy, just coming coming
out in the middle.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Of a Okay, I'll give it horny. I just and
you go, you're like covering your kids years, You're like.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
I just I'd love to see the demographic split of
people who still have that ring on their phone, who
are like elderly men who at an unconscious level are
like when the horny woman tells me, I have a
phone call that makes me feel good.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
I actually said it for my cholesterol medication reminder.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Just I like to hear her voice.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Anyways, Miles, what is something you think is overrated?
Speaker 3 (13:59):
Just I always say this all the time, but like
it's we're back to doing that thing where people describe
the malaise and cynicism of our era with like these
like weird new terms like.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
We're gonna We're gonna crush.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
Recession is a thing I read recently which was this
is a social media concept that describes an overall decrease
in people's enthusiasms, spontaneity, and optimism regarding the excitement they
feel when thinking about crushes or romantic interests. I would
say that there's a few things upstream of that that
lead you to crush recessions, you know what I mean,
(14:37):
Like the idea that there going on dates is prohibitively
expensive depending on where you live in most places, to
be real, just like to socialize outside of like a
home is expensive.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Just climate anxiety.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
There's so many things that I feel like would contribute
to just sort of this feeling of like ah, yeah, man.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
I blame smartphones, right, It's just these kids in their
damn phone.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
And like another one was about like doom spending. It's
like doom scrolling or whatever, and I'm like, dude, this
is people again dealing with the absurdity of our financial
system and they're like, I don't know, man, what's fucking money, Like,
what's even debt? And all we've been raised on is
hyper consumption. So maybe I'm just gonna do that more
(15:20):
rather than just be like this new thing called doom
spending's taken over.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
It's like, no trying to make it sound like a
hot trend financial nihilism, Like.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
You're failing to address the existential threats that people face
and is causing all kinds of dread and manifesting in
overconsumption or lack of enthusiasm when dating or these other things.
But I'm like always just blown away with like new
terms that are just like cause you just see headlines
and you're like, oh, like gen Z is calling it
(15:51):
a crush recession, and me being old, I'm.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Like what they say, I'm what's gen Z Shane.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
And I'm reading I'm like, oh, yeah, man, fucking everything sucks,
that's what you're saying, Like everything fucking sucks, and even
like the media doesn't want to say we talked about
how politicians won't even say it. Not even the fucking
media be like, yeah, look, everything fucking sucks.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
It's bad.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
So it's affecting how people are going into debt buying
shit to feel better about something to fill a hole
in them that you know can only not just doesn't
look like it's going to be easily mended.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
At least they're connecting it to a financial term with
recession as opposed to just being like, is this avocado
limp discdickedness? Yeah, these kids are not horny enough because
of all the avocado toast, you know what.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
They say now, Like the thing I've read now is
like these gen Z kids in.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Their twenty eight dollars lunches is like, there is their.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Avocado, And I'm like, oh, because yeah, there, everyone goes
on and goes I need to spend twenty eight dollars
for lunch. It's like you go out, presumably on your
lunch break, and you work in a big city and
you you eat.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Two things at to sit down restaurant. You're like, yeah,
that's forty bucks. Yeah yeah, but yeah, it's.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
It's everyone everyone, It's the hottest new thing is wasting
twenty eight dollars for a lunch.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
The hot new trend is feeling completely useless and without
any future in an economy that is smothering you to death. Exactly.
We call it crush bashing exactly.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
It's this feeling of instability because they're surrounded by a
breakdown of our standards, values, and social practices.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
What would describe it as I.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
Know me, I know me, all right. Uh. Something I
think is underrated or overrated, I just I don't know
if it's overrated. I enjoy the fact that there are
PSAs for movies that they do before movies like the
There are PSAs for the concept of movies like AMC
spends about three minutes before where every movie alongside the
(18:02):
most effective ads in existence, which are like movie trailers,
those are the only ads I go out of my
way to watch.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
I mean, what are these PSAs for? Gen Like, what
are we talking about here?
Speaker 1 (18:13):
So like when AMC comes in and they're like light
moving on a screen, Oh sure, right, with sound that
matches up, sound that tells the story, that makes you
feel things in a dark room with other people. It's
like you're just describing what a movie, like you already
got me. But it's almost it almost feels like they're filibustering,
(18:38):
Like someone was on short notice was just like, hey,
could you get up and say a few words about movies? Yeah? Yeah, yeah,
So lights right, so we're gonna start there. Lights in shapes,
Lights make shapes.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
Right, Let's see Apollo, the god of light sun yeah
fuck fuck what else?
Speaker 1 (19:03):
What else? There's like three of them. There's a Nicole
Kidman one, there's the there's like a new one that's
not Nicole Kidman. So they don't even have like scenes
from movies. They're just like talking about movies.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
No, no, no, it's Nicole k You have to just
lean into the fact that Nicole Kidman has become like
the you know, Greek goddess of the movie is about
to start very specific deity, but that's the lane that
she occupies.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
I think it's generally AMC being like you come to
the movies, we are the movies. You come to us
by by our like subscription or whatever. But it's just
such a weird appro It be like an ad before
the NBA finals being like how happy when the ball
goes through the metal ring. It's called a basket, and
(19:52):
we love it.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
It used to be a peach basket in that.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
That's two points and we call it a swish.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
Twenty five pound owns per square inch the air pressure
needed for the leather roundball. I don't even know what
the psis for basketball, but it feels like that's the
kind of thing you.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
Yeah, yeah, thank you for enjoying the basketball.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Thank you for not booing the president.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Yeah, we're going to get to that right after. We'll
be right back. And we're back.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
We're back.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
And yeah, so it's been announced Donald Trump is tempting
the faiths. The New York Knicks are on a historic heater,
a thirteen game winning streak in the middle of the
later rounds of the NBA playoffs. I mean it started,
I guess in round one they were struggling a little
(20:53):
bit and then just started crushing everybody. It's the most
dominant period in the three of the National Basketball Association
that they that they are currently on. They just defeated
the Spurs in two games in San Antonio, and they're
coming home. I couldn't be looking more up for them,
for the city of New York, for their fans. Uh.
(21:16):
And then they're a couple of a couple of things
are just like kind of popping, popping their ugly heads up.
One is the President. Donald Trump has announced that he
will attend Slash ruin Game three of the NBA Finals
at Madison Square Garden. He's good friends with James Dolan
that they are fellow New Yorkers who had inherited hundreds
(21:39):
of millions of dollars. So they're like kind of in
an exclusive crew together.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
I mean, and Dolan got married at mar A Lago too.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Yeah, Yeah, that's there.
Speaker 3 (21:50):
They're in how down in two thousand and like two okay,
before it was even like the real conservative mark of
how loyal you are.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
It's like, yeah, they've they've been friends.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
So a lot of the joy that people are feeling
for the Knicks around, Like I'm always excited when the
Knicks are involved, Like the NBA is just better when
the Knicks are involved. And a big part of it
is Madison Square Garden. A big part of it is
Knicks fans. And even though for years now normal fans
have been priced out of the inside of the arena,
(22:23):
there are these watch parties that happen outside of Madison
Square Garden that they can always like cut to that
shows like real Knicks fans just having a blast, so
that shit's not happening. In game three, they have canceled
the outdoor watch parties, which is crazy. It's also wild
because the White House won't confirm that this is because
(22:44):
of Trump, but Madison Square Garden issued a statement noting
the plant. Like, so the White House, they said in
the statement, this is an Madison Square Garden spokesperson house,
we'll confirm that this is not about the president. We understand.
NYPD Commissioner Tish is planning additional street closures around Madison
(23:07):
Square Garden later. There will be no watch parties outside
of Madison Square Garden for Game three only. This was
done fully in coordination with the Secret Service because of
the presidential visit. We expect watch parties at Madison Square
Garden to resume for Game four. So they basically like
read the statement that the White House gave them to
be like, you have to read this, and they're like,
(23:30):
this is not about the president. And then immediately we're like,
and this was done in coordination with the people protecting
the president. I don't know, you guys do the math
on this figure that.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
Out, yeah, oh man, because I mean they're already worried
about like how fucking floppy the brand is right now
with the America two fifty cancelations like the UFC fight,
and you know that they're like, fuck man, I don't
know if this is gonna be good to fucking send
him into Madison Square Garden fending.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Like there were a lot of good tweets, like, uh,
Chase Verano was like, you motherfuckers better boo him so
hard that my television vibrates off of the wall. Shout
out to Chase Roane, who a great tweet in the
midst of misery because he is a Spurs fan. So
that I think that is how a lot of people
(24:23):
are feeling. Unfortunately, some things that are a little abnormal
about this one, like there won't even be the fans
outside of the arena there to like boo him. Second
of all, the cheapest ticket as of like early this
morning the game is tonight was ten thousand dollars. The
(24:44):
cheapest ticket riced was ten dollars. So it's not going
to be normal Knicks fans like this is this is.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
Gonna be Actually, Jack, I just looked you can get
one for about four thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
Oh really, they're dropping, they're dropping. I do wonder if
the fact that you have to arrive two hours before
the game has anything to do with their dropping. They
just they switch it from like, I don't know, how
early do you arrive for a basketball game? Like me,
four minutes?
Speaker 3 (25:17):
Usually I buy my tickets last minute on some kind
of ticket exchange, so I find like a terribly depressed
ticket price, and then uh, I don't know, maybe at
most twenty minutes before tip.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
Before tip off. Yeah, if it's like a game you
really care about, you you want to see that, you
want to baronate a little bit.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
Yeah, yeah, you know, yeah, yeah, I still I mean
with traffic and everything, get up.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
The most I've ever done is maybe thirty minutes.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
They're asking people to arrive two hours both. They're asking
people to arrive like this is an international flight.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
Yeah right, like Jesus.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
Two fucking hours just to this kid who doesn't even
like basketball. No, it has to go in there to
fucking pump his own ego up. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,
I don't know. I mean, I'm I'm hoping there's enough
New Yorkers who have disposable income and aren't fully maga
brained that they can at least boost somewhat. Come on,
you Wall Street Democrats yea, and they're fucking do something.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
You should be Like.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
He's going into deep blue New York City. It's like
New York has had a Republican mayor for the majority
of my adult life. I don't know what exactly, And
like it's like, especially at a game like this, you
know sure sure, I.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
Mean yeah, having something that's already going to have that
like economic barrier to it, you're already the people who
would like really be the Yeah, that's where I wish
like the fun Police that old Nike campaign was back
in it, or like the real fans need to get
in here and just bringing everybody from the outside. Bring
the guy in the Spider Man outfit wearing Tim's drinking
Henny through a Spider Man mask. Bring them in there
(26:53):
to properly fucking booth.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
Like if there's if there are a good rich people
New York City, they need to buy tickets and give
them to the craziest fans. That's something like Mackenzie Bezos.
That would be Yeah, she's.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
Just hands out here. You go come on and yeah
you get you with the three headbands on yepka right, yep, Mike.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
Can you imagine, yep, that would be That would be
like you just out there like Scrooge on Christmas morning,
just giving ship out like you. You would be the
most popular person in New York City.
Speaker 3 (27:25):
Ship I mean, and if you have that kind of money, Jesus,
you could launch a mayoral campaign off that.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
You remember when that yeah, yeah, seriously, legend move bro.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
He was handing out fucking Nicks tickets right outside Madison
Square Garden to fucking anybody.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
It was beautiful.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
One other un cool thing about this, So James Dolan
is at the cutting edge of using facial recognition technology
to ban.
Speaker 3 (27:52):
People facial recognition grievance technology.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
Yes, yeah, there's a former New York Nick, like the
coolest the Enforcer, Charles Oakley, who has been critical of
James Dolan, and he's been given a lifetime ban from
the stadium and from Knicks games. Like even as they're
like having this great moment where all the former great
are like coming together and going to the games, he's
(28:17):
like not willing to forgive him. I don't even know
what the fuck he said, but like, think about that
combined with like the carefulness of the Secret Service and
Trump being even more Oh yeah, like they're competing for
the most thin skinned humans in the world.
Speaker 3 (28:36):
So like that's the real finals at stake right now,
right was just gonna be in his skin, Dolan Verus Trump, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
Charles Oakley should be there, all those guys.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
I was just talking to my friend who is someone
was They were saying, They're like, yo, be so funny,
like they should do the opening of Belly to announce
the starting lineups for the Picks, like.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
Steady, are you ready?
Speaker 3 (28:56):
And I'm like, this is that's too hard for this
generation of Nick players. They are not those nineties Knicks players.
I could see that Jalen Kat, you know, Josh Hart.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
They're they're likable. They don't have like that real edge
to like.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
Those the John Starks, the Patrick Ewings type players from
that era, but they're still so likable. I was just saying,
I'm like, these are the most likable Knicks like that
don't have that edge, which they don't need to. But
I was just like, these guys all look like they
could be a really great Saturday Morning cartoon that I
would let my kid watch.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, they're all they're all kind of fun.
They're they're a good gang.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
Good guys, a bunch of guys. No one you're gonna worry.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
About all too like that. Yeah yeah, yeah, all right.
So anyways, well we'll be watching Don't let Us Down,
New York Booles.
Speaker 3 (29:44):
Motherfucker do fine, bro get that chip Man fucking rooting
for you all.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
But Ben Shapiro isn't What was his reasoning.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
I think it's because it's the these democrat these socialists
are actually supporting the New York Knicks, and if they win,
that's a victory for them. And he's it's just like
it's a bi association because New York City it's Amani
likes them, therefore they're bad. And I have a lot
of friends who think this is they're there's they're saying
I'm wrong for this, But no, I that's that's the
(30:15):
level of analysis.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
That Ben Shapiro's into right.
Speaker 3 (30:17):
Now, Zoran, mam Donnie will be happy.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
Uh we got some semi good news.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
Yeah, Kat.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
The show, Uh, member.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
Of the.
Speaker 3 (30:33):
If you remember back in the fall, she was like,
you know, she found herself along with five others under
federal indictment because they did the dumb thing of exercising
their First Amendment rights outside of an immigration detention facility
in Illinois. And next thing, you know, they've been indicted
for felony conspiracy because they were too close to a
(30:54):
federal vehicle. And everyone was like looking at this and
like holy ship. You know, like another one of these
escalations where what you can see what an actual weaponized
justice department looks like going after Americans that are legally
just critiquing what the government is doing, but because they're
expressing an antithetical viewpoint to the administration, that equals felony conspiracy.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
Yeah. She put her hand on the hood of a car, right, yeah.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
Yeah, yeah exactly.
Speaker 3 (31:23):
That was like moving, so it's like not to be
like I'm gonna hulk smash this car.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
Even then, it's like that wasn't anything.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
They're very sensitive about people being attacked by moving cars
like that. Yeah, that's interesting that they should know. They
were like, but in this case, our moving car was
actually in grave danger from this small person.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (31:42):
And what's crazy is too is like they tried to
get an indictment and they were unsuccessful a few times.
So again this from the Guardian quote. The case collapsed
amids stunning allegations of prosecutorial misconduct, including grand jury manipulation. Later,
the US Attorney Andrew Boutros, the federal prosecutor who leads
the US Department of Justice Chicago office, showed up to
personally drop all charges. The Broadview six case was already
(32:03):
on shaky ground as a headed for trial. Prosecutors had
dismissed two defendants in March and then dropped all felony
charges against the remaining four in April, leaving only misdemeanors
for trial. The final nail for the prosecution came during
a May twenty first hearing days before the trial, when
the US District Judge April Perry sharply criticized federal prosecutors
over misconduct revealed in transcripts from the grand jury proceeding.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
Perry said the.
Speaker 3 (32:28):
Prosecutors improperly tried to influence grand jurors, communicated with them
about substantive matters outside the grand jury room, and removed
jurors who disagreed with the government's case from the deliberation.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
So like they fucking did.
Speaker 3 (32:41):
Yeah, well, the first two they couldn't even get the
grand jury to fucking move. So they're like, fuck, all right,
this third one, we're just gonna have to go all
in on fuckery and got this flimsy indictment and boom
has now led them to the cases being dropped.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
So the legal jeopardy is over.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
The defendants still collectively all around a million dollars in
legal fees, and you know a lot of them have
been fundraising and crowdfunding for this kind of thing. And
in the Guardian, Kat said, quote, that's not a happy ending.
It's just an ending. It's not justice, but it is
a win because yeah, going to fucking court is already
its own financial monster, unless you're someone who's like James Comey,
(33:23):
who's just like, yeah, all my friends are lawyers, fucking
I'll eat that. Yeah, that's a completely different proposition, not
already on top of the stress of being like I
got the fucking government coming after me because I deigned
to say that the detention of these people is fucked
(33:44):
up and illegal.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
Yeah, that's a horrifying situation that they were put in.
And it's wild that the government, with like just complete
willingness to be corrupt, was still unable to like pull
off more than that, So we're saved by designed incompetence
(34:06):
once again, I would have to say in this case,
but shout out to Kat will put a link in
the footnotes for where you can contribute to their legal fund.
Let's see, there's a Meet the Press thing over the
weekend that made some headlines. I don't know why. It's
just Donald Trump like being mad and huffing and storming
(34:28):
off from another interview, but like I get, you know,
meet the press as an institution. So people are like,
oh my god, I can't believe he's going on Meet
the Press, and they asked him some difficult questions that
he's not used to being asked. He defended the quote
anti weapon weaponization slash fund and claimed that he never
(34:49):
promised that he wouldn't start any wars during the campaign,
even though it's like the easiest thing to just clip.
And then when Kristen Welker pushed back on his election
conspiracy theories, he said, it's happening right now in California,
as we'll get to. Uh. He freaked out and left
and said thank you darling before yanking off his mic.
Speaker 3 (35:11):
Yeah, very it was that hole back and forth was
pretty wild like it was just not like.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
She kept going like, well, the where's you evidence? Where
He's like, is illegal?
Speaker 1 (35:21):
It was stolen.
Speaker 2 (35:21):
She goes, okay, then where's the evidence? Can do you
have a name? He's like, you just have to look
it was it would just have to look.
Speaker 1 (35:29):
Oh yeah, I would love to look at evidence.
Speaker 3 (35:32):
Also, the rain in the background is so loud because
they're doing in like a fucking garage.
Speaker 2 (35:38):
It was a dirty election. This is happening again right
now in Californa.
Speaker 1 (35:44):
Now in California, right now.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
I like her energy. She's like, you never where's your evidence?
Speaker 1 (35:50):
My guy?
Speaker 2 (35:51):
Slow, they're urging O, they're crooked there urging the votes
to be counting.
Speaker 3 (35:54):
I'm just skipping through that. This is the whole tone
of this back and forth and meet.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
The presure's crooked.
Speaker 1 (36:00):
I'm not crooked, but let's uh.
Speaker 3 (36:03):
And then this is when he finally turns the rips
his microphone off and she's like, please, I came all
the way from Wisconsin, or all the way to Wisconsin.
Speaker 1 (36:12):
Let's call it quick because I've had enough.
Speaker 3 (36:14):
Thank you, mister President.
Speaker 2 (36:15):
Let's please. I traveled all the way to Wisconsin.
Speaker 1 (36:20):
I know.
Speaker 3 (36:23):
On it off in the ring, and I've given you
enough time you would have straightened out your pressed because
you know what, mister country can never be great traveled.
We traveled all the way to Wisconsin for the.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
He looked like he was gonna give her a kiss
on the cheek at that point.
Speaker 3 (36:40):
No, there was just a huge lighting rig, like a
big soft box above them, so he had he couldn't
fully stand up under using her balance because he's not
strong with that LIFs or balance. Yeah, and then like afterwards,
she's like, yeah, we this was this is what she
said on the other side of the interview after he
just walked out.
Speaker 2 (37:01):
And a lot of people are like, huh.
Speaker 1 (37:03):
I spoke with President Trump on Saturday, and we both
acknowledged the complications during the interview posed by the rain.
He agreed to sit down with me for another meet
the press interview.
Speaker 2 (37:14):
Uh huh Wait, what that feels like?
Speaker 3 (37:17):
The kind of thing you say because you're trying to
manage the relationship. It's like, it's not because you I
was confronting you with your total lack of evidence, with
all your allegations. It was the rain, right, Like the
rain kind of messed it up, right, That's what it was, yeah,
it was, and then I'm sure he was like it
was the rain.
Speaker 1 (37:35):
Yep, we had a very productive conversation. It just happened
to be raining rain.
Speaker 3 (37:40):
So I'll have another one. We'll do another one. I
acknowledge it was the rain.
Speaker 1 (37:44):
Is he right, though, Miles?
Speaker 3 (37:45):
Is?
Speaker 1 (37:45):
There is there active vote rigging happening in California right now?
Speaker 3 (37:51):
Because the US Attorney that's in charge of like the
LA office had to come out and like actually debunk
one of the fucking conspiracy theories about votes.
Speaker 2 (37:59):
And then they're like, we just you know, there's a conspiracy.
Speaker 3 (38:01):
There's a theory going around that the vote results came
back where one Canada got zero votes.
Speaker 2 (38:07):
They're like, we've reviewed the matter. That's not true. Everyone
got votes that round. Keep looking.
Speaker 3 (38:13):
So I'm surprised that the US Attorney's office even did
that with a appoint who's there to be like exactly,
that guy's like he's fucking five.
Speaker 2 (38:20):
Get that guy out of here, right.
Speaker 3 (38:22):
But No, there is no voter fraud, as much as
people love to say that. It's just that we allow
things like you know, mail in ballots that have been
postmarked on election day, there's seven days to still get
those in so and because of the way people vote
in California, most people just drop their ballots off the
day of or many do. So you just left with
(38:43):
a huge fucking bottleneck of shit to process that, and
it takes.
Speaker 2 (38:48):
More time to get through everything.
Speaker 1 (38:49):
Have you watched the Lakers game on TV? Like there's
nobody there for the first quarter? People in Los Angeles
show up late as fuck to everything, even like it's
sold out by the end. Yeah, they show up late
to everything, Like give them a minute to count the shit.
But yeah, so, I mean, the big news in local
(39:10):
politics here in Los Angeles was that as Miles had predicted,
and I was worried. I thought, I thought we were
headed for the Spencer Pratt administration. But they kept counting
the votes, which is which is crazy, an unprecedented move
by Democrats to secure power. They kept counting the votes,
(39:31):
and as a lot of people who knew which votes
were outstanding versus which had already been counted, as a
lot of them predicted, Nathia Rahman has overtaken Spencer Pratt
and is now in second and likely to face Mayor
Karen Bass in the runoff election.
Speaker 3 (39:49):
Yeah, oh Man, And remember Spencer you said you were
going to fuck off out of la if Yeah, he lost,
so you.
Speaker 2 (39:56):
Better be fucking off out of LA.
Speaker 1 (39:58):
Well, but this was a fake election this.
Speaker 2 (40:01):
Yeah, and you're a fake ass celebrity bro. Yeah, get
the fuck out of here. Get the Yeah.
Speaker 3 (40:06):
It's uh that a lot of people are like, what,
how is this possible? It's like, man, so many people
were sitting on their ballots of the day of I
knew so many people who were like filling them out
Tuesday and then dropping them off.
Speaker 1 (40:19):
Yeah, because they wanted to see if like they should
go with or yeah. Yeah, and they chose I think
wisely because anybody else probably would have split the vote.
Speaker 2 (40:31):
So I think Karen Bass didn't want this one though.
Speaker 1 (40:34):
Came back. So that's the thing. Like there's a Hollywood
Reporter article with the headline like it's the most glowing
possible journalistic take on like the rise of Spencer Pratt
and like he was really like changing things and shaking
things up, but he was no match for the democratic machine, right.
It was just like the democratic machine did not want this.
(40:56):
They they wanted to run against Spencer Pratt, like that
that was what they wanted. They don't want Nithie Rahmin
because she's going to challenge her from the left, and
they don't do well in those elections, you know, I
think they were gonna do badly, worse than they were anticipating,
no matter who the second candidate was. But that's hopeful
(41:20):
that that it's somebody coming from the left.
Speaker 3 (41:23):
Yeah, to have like a blue city like that and
be like you can get you can get the status quo,
or we can try something progressive here.
Speaker 2 (41:30):
What's what they're gonna be.
Speaker 1 (41:31):
Right right now?
Speaker 2 (41:32):
We'll see if that affects Karen Bass's policies.
Speaker 3 (41:34):
That's the one thing a lot of people are curious of, Like,
is she gonna go try to find more progressive, more
progressive support with their policies.
Speaker 2 (41:42):
I'm not sure about that. But oh man, the Hollywood reporter, Man,
I just love their political coverage, always the best.
Speaker 1 (41:51):
I can't wait until the I can't wait to see
the demographics on who voted for Spencer Pratt because I
think it's going to be so heavily it's just like
rich white, you know, oh yeah, oh my god. I
can't can't imagine.
Speaker 3 (42:07):
I mean, it's all the people like when you look
at sort of like very westside of a Yeah. And
it's people who live in less dense, densely populated parts
of LA who are already like sort of philosophically like ooh.
Speaker 2 (42:19):
Ooh ooh no no no, no.
Speaker 3 (42:20):
No no, I want to look at my golf course
or I want to just have as much space as
possible where The people who like live in the more
densely populated areas of like LA were definitely trending towards
Nythia because they're like, yeah, housing policy, interesting, can we
can we hear more about that?
Speaker 1 (42:37):
Those golf course people don't want Nythia coming because she's
already voiced look the other way, she says, you'd look
the other way when we occupy golf course. That's all
we need, that's all we need. Hey, so you're saying
there's a chance, guys, I'm just saying.
Speaker 3 (42:49):
January sixth, twenty twenty seven, break golf course, run up.
Speaker 1 (42:53):
That's okay, let's take a quick break. We'll be right back,
and we're back babba. Let's see, the Pentagon is suddenly
worried about Israeli espionage after decades of not giving a
(43:18):
shit about Israeli espionage.
Speaker 2 (43:21):
What wait, what matter?
Speaker 3 (43:22):
What matter of espionage are we talking about here?
Speaker 1 (43:26):
They've reportedly upped their assessment of the espionage threat posed
by Israel to the highest category, to critical, because of
Israel's effort to gain intel about America's America's negotiations with Iran,
although they note that the surge began in twenty twenty
(43:46):
four Serge great after Biden began stepping up pressure on
Israel over its genocide and Gaza. I'm sorry, kind.
Speaker 2 (43:56):
Of, I'm sorry, Biden's stepping stepping out.
Speaker 1 (43:58):
Stepping up his pressure of being like, I'm this guy's
getting mad.
Speaker 3 (44:03):
You couldn't handle a headline that was like Biden says,
it's quote bullshit, right, Okay, what do you need?
Speaker 2 (44:09):
How many bombs do you need?
Speaker 1 (44:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (44:11):
Yeah, here here, here.
Speaker 1 (44:12):
So, officials are stressing that recent Israeli activities have gone
beyond what Washington traditionally considers acceptable among allies.
Speaker 2 (44:20):
Allies money being poured into political coffers.
Speaker 1 (44:23):
Yeah, it's like that. They include Trump envoy and key
negotiator Steve Whitcough, the Pentagon's top policy official, l Bridge A. Colby,
and one of his deputies have been targeted. And they
also like, so just to give you a baseline of
like what they were willing to look the other way
for right to this point, and like what they've escalated beyond. Right,
(44:47):
So they were caught placing cell phone surveillance devices near
the White House in twenty nineteen.
Speaker 3 (44:56):
Oh and what they just did. They just read them
like the little rascals or something.
Speaker 1 (45:00):
They're like, Wow, they treat them. Yeah, they treat them
like they're opening a door and the little rascals are
falling through with a cup on their ears. Why you little? Also,
I just wanted to like people who are up on
surveillance technology and just like spy, like you know, uh, spying.
(45:23):
I am curious, like is there a database somewhere of
just like everything modern intelligence communities are able to and
also doing like actively to spy on us, like they
they can listen to I guess I knew that they
could like monitor cell phones and just like take all
that shit in, but like that just it feels like
information we should all have as we're coming to terms
(45:43):
with the reality that we're enemies of the state inside
an evil empire. Like so they could just like listen
to whatever that's happening.
Speaker 3 (45:51):
Anytime I see like headlines from a security conference and
those stuff like, yeah, man, you can just fucking own
someone's cell phone remotely with everything and open the camera
if you want. Yeah, cool, So that there, we're okay
with your cell phone surveillance devices will just give you
a little bit of a finger wag at that one.
Speaker 1 (46:12):
The editor says, yes, Google Wi Fi sensing if you
want to have a panic attack.
Speaker 4 (46:18):
So Wi Fi is radio signals, and you can use
those radio signals to literally see your heart rate where
you are in your house.
Speaker 1 (46:28):
It's kind of terrifying.
Speaker 3 (46:30):
Oh, because of like how your your body is interacting
with those frequencies and like giving.
Speaker 1 (46:35):
You not just because I have myself hooked up to
a monitor at all times that I'm sending directly to Google.
Speaker 4 (46:41):
No, not just that, but it's like you can you
can sort of tap into the actual Wi Fi signal and.
Speaker 1 (46:48):
The Wi Fi just like can see everything. You can
see you, you can see your heart rate, you're breathing.
So there's all sorts of stuff to monitor people.
Speaker 2 (47:00):
That's cool.
Speaker 1 (47:01):
That's cool, man, because I'm that is pretty cool.
Speaker 3 (47:04):
I need my I need my WiFi rider to know
if I'm home or breathing heavy.
Speaker 2 (47:09):
But don't, but don't look at.
Speaker 4 (47:10):
They try and sell it as a feature as like, hey,
it will turn stuff on when you come home.
Speaker 2 (47:16):
Don't need that.
Speaker 1 (47:17):
Yeah, No, I don't want that.
Speaker 2 (47:20):
Don't need that. Don't need that.
Speaker 1 (47:21):
Look at this guy. He's a little horny again this weekend.
Look at him.
Speaker 3 (47:27):
Like, this is the work you do a Department of
Homeland Security. Yeah, where we monitor how horny people are.
This guy's a freak.
Speaker 1 (47:36):
We're calling it a crush recession. Not as horny as
they were a couple months ago.
Speaker 2 (47:41):
Were there.
Speaker 3 (47:41):
I'm guessing there's like other things too, where outside of
the wire tappings and things like that, they're like, Okay, guys,
you can't this. This feels a little like you're escalating
on how you're trying to.
Speaker 1 (47:52):
Yeah. They didn't give specifics because it's like an ongoing
intelligence problem, so they're not like, all right, here's what
we caught them doing. But they just mentioned who has
been targeted, and then we can look at the history
of what they have done, right, Like they've surveiled and
(48:13):
manipulated American embassy workers within Iran, wiretaps, bribes, and in
one particularly fucked up case, they rigged a fake abortion
case against a clerical employee as part of an unsuccessful
effort to blackmail and ultimately recruit him.
Speaker 3 (48:27):
I mean, these are the kinds of things hearing like, well,
this is documented. Imagine what they're doing.
Speaker 1 (48:32):
Yeah, what they're getting away with now, if.
Speaker 3 (48:35):
They're willing to go as far as a fake abortion
case to get somebody to flip or you know, be
part of the intelligence operation. God, I can only imagine
the kind of stuff that's out there, with the fact
that they have access to people's cell phones and you know.
Speaker 1 (48:50):
Uh, anyways, they've also tried to recruit marine guards for
monetary rewards. So just stuff that I'd be a little
suspicious of. Who is any country? You know?
Speaker 3 (49:03):
Just I wonder, But listen, like last final straw must
have been something, and I've been trying to keep turn
a blind eye. But I guess now we have to
up things to critical Yeah uh well, uh well, guys,
just go back to like an old Motorola brick.
Speaker 1 (49:21):
Phone, you know, you know, moto every time his phone rings,
his heart rate goes up. All right, those are some
of the things that are trending on this Monday, June eighth.

the show. Until then, be kind to each other, be
(49:42):

Miles turns into macho man Randy Savage when he's rolling.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Do you imagine the did that guy turns into the
macho man Randy Savage every time?
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Whatever Mel Gibson was on in that Joe Rogan interview,
I feel like, is the drug that turns you into
macho man? He was. It's just like on every moment
is so tense that it feels like he's gonna collapse
in on himself.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Joe, I've got fringe growing off my sleeve right now,
leather fringe like the macho man.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Oh Miles. Yeah, It's Monday morning on.

which I Anyway, is this the episode where we tell
you what was trending over the weekend? What is trending
here on Monday morning? My name is Jack O'Brien. That
over there is mister Miles Gray. Are you watching Curious
but never Shy? Are you watching Widows Bay or Widow Bay?
Speaker 2 (04:02):
No? No, no, no, not yet.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
This ship's good. I do you remember? I think it
was last week we were talking about how I would
pretend to ding dung ditch people out of the cowardice. Yeah.
They put that that that is a thing from Widow's
Beck that like I just saw you. I saw it
after I said it like but days.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
After I said it, I don't know, know that's crazy.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
A lot of people were on the discorder like Jack's
just fucking ripping off widow.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Did they really say that? No, it was crazy. I mean,
you know, we're all tapping the same.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Like was it like a childhood flashback?
Speaker 1 (04:39):
It was this character who is a coward, like he's
trying to win over somebody who who he used to
ding dung ditch and he's and he the guys like, yeah,
I remember you and your friends used to. It's Stephen
Root by the way. It's a really great show. But
uh he's he's like, yeah, I remember you and your
(05:01):
friends used to ding dong ditch me. And he's like, oh,
is that what this is about? You're still mad about that?
He's like, no, I just know you're a coward because
you would never press the button when and you guys
would run off laughing. So any to any of the
elderly people that, uh that I pretended to ding dong
di but ran away, you know I find you well, well, well.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
We would always root for you to actually press the button.
Did you know that we'd see you come up and
like he might.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Do it today?
Speaker 1 (05:31):
That would be a crazy thing to do is to
catch a kid doing that and then catch up to
him and his friends and be like, hey, sorry, he didn't.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Actually press your man, didn't even hit the.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Button, bro, And then and then the old guy and
your friends just beat you up together. Anyways, hard recommend
for that. It's a lot of fun. Uh. This is
the episode where we tell you what was trending over
the weekends, what's trending this in the morning, But we
also tell you some things we think are underrated and
overrated and miles.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
You know, we like to start with you asking you something.
What's something you think is underrated?
Speaker 3 (06:11):
This goes out to My Perfect Friend Kurt Henning, great
rap song My Perfect Friend that he wrote after Kurt
Henning died.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
He was gregarious but never shy or something I am not.
It's earlier the memorial to a fallen wrestler.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Wow, underrated. I'm only like kind of familiar with his
general vibe. I'm not like up on the lore he
was taken too soon and that's all me my underrated friend.
The editor said, he's one of the great rappers for.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Sure, for sure.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Yeah, yeah, actually I should say underrated. Macho man Randy
Savage as an MC. But my real one today is
Elijah Jordan Wood, the actor Jordan. Yeah, his name is Jordan, dude,
and he was born before Jordan was the league.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Dude.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
That's how you know that's it's legit. I just got it.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
I saw him in public and it was starstruck. And
because of that, I had to really examine why.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Was I like, oh shit, dude, fucking Elijah Wood.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
And I realized for millennials, this guy's been a like
he's been with us from the Jump Street. I didn't
realize that he was in the David Fincher directed Forever
Your Girl Paula Abdul music video.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
He was, Yes, that's his debut in the David.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
He I gotta remember Foreverend Ever, But does it tell
a story?
Speaker 3 (07:39):
Miles Yeah, he's like he's like he's.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Wearing a suit. He's like the kid in the suit.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Then just I think everyone on like he was in
the good Son North he was also. I was reading
this thing he auditioned for Kindergarten cop and he didn't
get it, and Ivan Reightman told him that quote his
performance was not believable. Wow, And then Elijah Wood was
like yeah, it was kind of a harsh thing to
say to a nine year old, aish.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Thing for a fucking movie.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
But was he saying you're not believable as a kindergartener?
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Whatever it was, that was the note on the audition, like, yeah,
just the performance wasn't believable.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Now we're going for realistic here, lived in and you're
getting giving Oran Annie Brother to chill down.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
The Adventures of Huck Finn. He was fine Eternal Sunshine
for the spot list. I was just again, I think
he's just been so many different things over the course
of his career that I'm just I gotta say. The
Lord of the Rings thing really sealed it from me.
And he just seems like a good guy overall.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Totally had him confused with Toby Maguire, not in like
a broad sense where I was like, those are the
same person in my conscious mind, but in my unconscious
mind whenever I hear a Toby Maguire story, it gets
lumped in under Elijah Wood as well, because I'm a
broken a broken man.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
My grandpa parents met him once when they were extras
uh and deep impact and they were like, he's a
he's a kind man.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
I remember them saying something like that.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
So just every little thing anecdotally I've heard. Now, maybe
maybe I have this all wrong, but I was just
like thinking back, and I'm like, bro, people don't really
talk about Elijah Wood like that.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
They certainly don't.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
I don't know why, you know, but I see you, Elijah.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Did you say anything though?
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Fuck? No, I was too shook.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
He's like so small, he's like this like little guy.
I didn't even notice him until like her Magic's like, I'm.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Like, what the fuck sounds like this? That's Elijah? What
you got a mustache? Like everybody right now.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
He's got a mustache.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
Oh yeah, he's got the little push you know, he's
everyone's rocking the mustache now. It's really actually ingenious disguise
for a lot of like baby faced people, because when
you're studding rocking a mustache like that, people are like,
who the fuck is this guy?
Speaker 2 (09:56):
And you're like, fuck fucking froto.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
There's a profile of the actress Julian Moore in The
New Yorker from a long long time ago, but they
talk about this experience they have where they're like sitting
down with her and like they watch her like come
in from the street of New York, and they're like,
she's kind of invisible. There's like something about her where
she's like hiding in plain sight, and she just like
(10:19):
has this she's got energy about her where like she
could just like turn it on and off and like
the off the off switches just like you don't really
notice her. Yeah, she just like blends in with her environment,
which is like such a crazy thing, like a skill
that like doesn't seem like it should be possible. But yeah,
it sounds like Elijah Wood has it too. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
No, he cause he's like, you know, he's like in
his mid forties now, so he's like got the salt
and pepper thing. Like it's just definitely in your In
my mind, I'm like he's I think he always.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Looks like Frodo Baggins. Yeah, but then you're like, oh no,
this dude is like a middle aged dad. Yeah. Yeah,
just you're you're killing it. You're killing it. Bro could
just tell Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
My underrated is how horny hello Moto ringtone sounds? You know,
the hello Moto.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Hello Moto. Wait do you have a Motorola phone?
Speaker 1 (11:08):
I don't. I don't know. So I went to see
the movie Pressure with my ten year old starring the
hot priest from Fleabag Season two and Brendan Fraser as Eisenhower.
It is about the planning of D Day. It was
a good time at the movies for me because my
son was having a blast and kept whispering things that
just like.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Oh, so this is actually what happens here.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
And like because he's you know, everybody's got their kid,
you know, their kid obsession, whether it be dinosaurs or whatever.
I got. I opened my pack and mine is World
War two. So but it is demographically like the oldest
movie that you could possibly imagine, Like it combines World
(11:52):
War two, which I think I had previously thought was
the oldest genre of movie. But this movie is about
the weather also, which is a thing that the elderly
loved talking about more than anything. So needless to say,
we got more than one phone going off during the
movie because it was it was my ten year old
(12:15):
me and.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
Then everyone and everyone who remembers D Day, yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Really, And an old guy in the room in front
of me had his Hello moto ringo off And I
don't know if it was specifically the like context or
like hearing it in a darkened theater, but like, uh,
I was just like, damn that he that's embarrassing for
so many reasons, but one of them is like to
(12:42):
to have like I don't know if it's just the
new version. Has it always been a woman's voice being
like hello moto.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Oh no, the one I'm thinking of was like the
early one that was like robot voice.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
Oh yeah, there's.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
A woman's lady voice now kind of yeah, they've like
done what Paul did to his robot I'm rocky for
a little bit where they've like kind of sexed it
up a little bit.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Oh wait, who's this one? What's this? What's is this
this one?
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Hell? That one? No, it was a little hornier than that,
but hornier than that, right, yeah, Oh you don't think
that sounds horny. It's a little breathy, just coming coming
out in the middle.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Of a Okay, I'll give it horny. I just and
you go, you're like covering your kids years, You're like.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
I just I'd love to see the demographic split of
people who still have that ring on their phone, who
are like elderly men who at an unconscious level are
like when the horny woman tells me, I have a
phone call that makes me feel good.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
I actually said it for my cholesterol medication reminder.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Just I like to hear her voice.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Anyways, Miles, what is something you think is overrated?
Speaker 3 (13:59):
Just I always say this all the time, but like
it's we're back to doing that thing where people describe
the malaise and cynicism of our era with like these
like weird new terms like.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
We're gonna We're gonna crush.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
Recession is a thing I read recently which was this
is a social media concept that describes an overall decrease
in people's enthusiasms, spontaneity, and optimism regarding the excitement they
feel when thinking about crushes or romantic interests. I would
say that there's a few things upstream of that that
lead you to crush recessions, you know what I mean,
(14:37):
Like the idea that there going on dates is prohibitively
expensive depending on where you live in most places, to
be real, just like to socialize outside of like a
home is expensive.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Just climate anxiety.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
There's so many things that I feel like would contribute
to just sort of this feeling of like ah, yeah, man.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
I blame smartphones, right, It's just these kids in their
damn phone.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
And like another one was about like doom spending. It's
like doom scrolling or whatever, and I'm like, dude, this
is people again dealing with the absurdity of our financial
system and they're like, I don't know, man, what's fucking money, Like,
what's even debt? And all we've been raised on is
hyper consumption. So maybe I'm just gonna do that more
(15:20):
rather than just be like this new thing called doom
spending's taken over.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
It's like, no trying to make it sound like a
hot trend financial nihilism, Like.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
You're failing to address the existential threats that people face
and is causing all kinds of dread and manifesting in
overconsumption or lack of enthusiasm when dating or these other things.
But I'm like always just blown away with like new
terms that are just like cause you just see headlines
and you're like, oh, like gen Z is calling it
(15:51):
a crush recession, and me being old, I'm.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Like what they say, I'm what's gen Z Shane.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
And I'm reading I'm like, oh, yeah, man, fucking everything sucks,
that's what you're saying, Like everything fucking sucks, and even
like the media doesn't want to say we talked about
how politicians won't even say it. Not even the fucking
media be like, yeah, look, everything fucking sucks.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
It's bad.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
So it's affecting how people are going into debt buying
shit to feel better about something to fill a hole
in them that you know can only not just doesn't
look like it's going to be easily mended.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
At least they're connecting it to a financial term with
recession as opposed to just being like, is this avocado
limp discdickedness? Yeah, these kids are not horny enough because
of all the avocado toast, you know what.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
They say now, Like the thing I've read now is
like these gen Z kids in.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Their twenty eight dollars lunches is like, there is their.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Avocado, And I'm like, oh, because yeah, there, everyone goes
on and goes I need to spend twenty eight dollars
for lunch. It's like you go out, presumably on your
lunch break, and you work in a big city and
you you eat.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Two things at to sit down restaurant. You're like, yeah,
that's forty bucks. Yeah yeah, but yeah, it's.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
It's everyone everyone, It's the hottest new thing is wasting
twenty eight dollars for a lunch.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
The hot new trend is feeling completely useless and without
any future in an economy that is smothering you to death. Exactly.
We call it crush bashing exactly.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
It's this feeling of instability because they're surrounded by a
breakdown of our standards, values, and social practices.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
What would describe it as I.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
Know me, I know me, all right. Uh. Something I
think is underrated or overrated, I just I don't know
if it's overrated. I enjoy the fact that there are
PSAs for movies that they do before movies like the
There are PSAs for the concept of movies like AMC
spends about three minutes before where every movie alongside the
(18:02):
most effective ads in existence, which are like movie trailers,
those are the only ads I go out of my
way to watch.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
I mean, what are these PSAs for? Gen Like, what
are we talking about here?
Speaker 1 (18:13):
So like when AMC comes in and they're like light
moving on a screen, Oh sure, right, with sound that
matches up, sound that tells the story, that makes you
feel things in a dark room with other people. It's
like you're just describing what a movie, like you already
got me. But it's almost it almost feels like they're filibustering,
(18:38):
Like someone was on short notice was just like, hey,
could you get up and say a few words about movies? Yeah? Yeah, yeah,
So lights right, so we're gonna start there. Lights in shapes,
Lights make shapes.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
Right, Let's see Apollo, the god of light sun yeah
fuck fuck what else?
Speaker 1 (19:03):
What else? There's like three of them. There's a Nicole
Kidman one, there's the there's like a new one that's
not Nicole Kidman. So they don't even have like scenes
from movies. They're just like talking about movies.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
No, no, no, it's Nicole k You have to just
lean into the fact that Nicole Kidman has become like
the you know, Greek goddess of the movie is about
to start very specific deity, but that's the lane that
she occupies.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
I think it's generally AMC being like you come to
the movies, we are the movies. You come to us
by by our like subscription or whatever. But it's just
such a weird appro It be like an ad before
the NBA finals being like how happy when the ball
goes through the metal ring. It's called a basket, and
(19:52):
we love it.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
It used to be a peach basket in that.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
That's two points and we call it a swish.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
Twenty five pound owns per square inch the air pressure
needed for the leather roundball. I don't even know what
the psis for basketball, but it feels like that's the
kind of thing you.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
Yeah, yeah, thank you for enjoying the basketball.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Thank you for not booing the president.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Yeah, we're going to get to that right after. We'll
be right back. And we're back.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
We're back.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
And yeah, so it's been announced Donald Trump is tempting
the faiths. The New York Knicks are on a historic heater,
a thirteen game winning streak in the middle of the
later rounds of the NBA playoffs. I mean it started,
I guess in round one they were struggling a little
(20:53):
bit and then just started crushing everybody. It's the most
dominant period in the three of the National Basketball Association
that they that they are currently on. They just defeated
the Spurs in two games in San Antonio, and they're
coming home. I couldn't be looking more up for them,
for the city of New York, for their fans. Uh.
(21:16):
And then they're a couple of a couple of things
are just like kind of popping, popping their ugly heads up.
One is the President. Donald Trump has announced that he
will attend Slash ruin Game three of the NBA Finals
at Madison Square Garden. He's good friends with James Dolan
that they are fellow New Yorkers who had inherited hundreds
(21:39):
of millions of dollars. So they're like kind of in
an exclusive crew together.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
I mean, and Dolan got married at mar A Lago too.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Yeah, Yeah, that's there.
Speaker 3 (21:50):
They're in how down in two thousand and like two okay,
before it was even like the real conservative mark of
how loyal you are.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
It's like, yeah, they've they've been friends.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
So a lot of the joy that people are feeling
for the Knicks around, Like I'm always excited when the
Knicks are involved, Like the NBA is just better when
the Knicks are involved. And a big part of it
is Madison Square Garden. A big part of it is
Knicks fans. And even though for years now normal fans
have been priced out of the inside of the arena,
(22:23):
there are these watch parties that happen outside of Madison
Square Garden that they can always like cut to that
shows like real Knicks fans just having a blast, so
that shit's not happening. In game three, they have canceled
the outdoor watch parties, which is crazy. It's also wild
because the White House won't confirm that this is because
(22:44):
of Trump, but Madison Square Garden issued a statement noting
the plant. Like, so the White House, they said in
the statement, this is an Madison Square Garden spokesperson house,
we'll confirm that this is not about the president. We understand.
NYPD Commissioner Tish is planning additional street closures around Madison
(23:07):
Square Garden later. There will be no watch parties outside
of Madison Square Garden for Game three only. This was
done fully in coordination with the Secret Service because of
the presidential visit. We expect watch parties at Madison Square
Garden to resume for Game four. So they basically like
read the statement that the White House gave them to
be like, you have to read this, and they're like,
(23:30):
this is not about the president. And then immediately we're like,
and this was done in coordination with the people protecting
the president. I don't know, you guys do the math
on this figure that.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
Out, yeah, oh man, because I mean they're already worried
about like how fucking floppy the brand is right now
with the America two fifty cancelations like the UFC fight,
and you know that they're like, fuck man, I don't
know if this is gonna be good to fucking send
him into Madison Square Garden fending.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Like there were a lot of good tweets, like, uh,
Chase Verano was like, you motherfuckers better boo him so
hard that my television vibrates off of the wall. Shout
out to Chase Roane, who a great tweet in the
midst of misery because he is a Spurs fan. So
that I think that is how a lot of people
(24:23):
are feeling. Unfortunately, some things that are a little abnormal
about this one, like there won't even be the fans
outside of the arena there to like boo him. Second
of all, the cheapest ticket as of like early this
morning the game is tonight was ten thousand dollars. The
(24:44):
cheapest ticket riced was ten dollars. So it's not going
to be normal Knicks fans like this is this is.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
Gonna be Actually, Jack, I just looked you can get
one for about four thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
Oh really, they're dropping, they're dropping. I do wonder if
the fact that you have to arrive two hours before
the game has anything to do with their dropping. They
just they switch it from like, I don't know, how
early do you arrive for a basketball game? Like me,
four minutes?
Speaker 3 (25:17):
Usually I buy my tickets last minute on some kind
of ticket exchange, so I find like a terribly depressed
ticket price, and then uh, I don't know, maybe at
most twenty minutes before tip.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
Before tip off. Yeah, if it's like a game you
really care about, you you want to see that, you
want to baronate a little bit.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
Yeah, yeah, you know, yeah, yeah, I still I mean
with traffic and everything, get up.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
The most I've ever done is maybe thirty minutes.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
They're asking people to arrive two hours both. They're asking
people to arrive like this is an international flight.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
Yeah right, like Jesus.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
Two fucking hours just to this kid who doesn't even
like basketball. No, it has to go in there to
fucking pump his own ego up. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,
I don't know. I mean, I'm I'm hoping there's enough
New Yorkers who have disposable income and aren't fully maga
brained that they can at least boost somewhat. Come on,
you Wall Street Democrats yea, and they're fucking do something.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
You should be Like.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
He's going into deep blue New York City. It's like
New York has had a Republican mayor for the majority
of my adult life. I don't know what exactly, And
like it's like, especially at a game like this, you
know sure sure, I.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
Mean yeah, having something that's already going to have that
like economic barrier to it, you're already the people who
would like really be the Yeah, that's where I wish
like the fun Police that old Nike campaign was back
in it, or like the real fans need to get
in here and just bringing everybody from the outside. Bring
the guy in the Spider Man outfit wearing Tim's drinking
Henny through a Spider Man mask. Bring them in there
(26:53):
to properly fucking booth.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
Like if there's if there are a good rich people
New York City, they need to buy tickets and give
them to the craziest fans. That's something like Mackenzie Bezos.
That would be Yeah, she's.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
Just hands out here. You go come on and yeah
you get you with the three headbands on yepka right, yep, Mike.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
Can you imagine, yep, that would be That would be
like you just out there like Scrooge on Christmas morning,
just giving ship out like you. You would be the
most popular person in New York City.
Speaker 3 (27:25):
Ship I mean, and if you have that kind of money, Jesus,
you could launch a mayoral campaign off that.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
You remember when that yeah, yeah, seriously, legend move bro.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
He was handing out fucking Nicks tickets right outside Madison
Square Garden to fucking anybody.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
It was beautiful.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
One other un cool thing about this, So James Dolan
is at the cutting edge of using facial recognition technology
to ban.
Speaker 3 (27:52):
People facial recognition grievance technology.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
Yes, yeah, there's a former New York Nick, like the
coolest the Enforcer, Charles Oakley, who has been critical of
James Dolan, and he's been given a lifetime ban from
the stadium and from Knicks games. Like even as they're
like having this great moment where all the former great
are like coming together and going to the games, he's
(28:17):
like not willing to forgive him. I don't even know
what the fuck he said, but like, think about that
combined with like the carefulness of the Secret Service and
Trump being even more Oh yeah, like they're competing for
the most thin skinned humans in the world.
Speaker 3 (28:36):
So like that's the real finals at stake right now,
right was just gonna be in his skin, Dolan Verus Trump, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
Charles Oakley should be there, all those guys.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
I was just talking to my friend who is someone
was They were saying, They're like, yo, be so funny,
like they should do the opening of Belly to announce
the starting lineups for the Picks, like.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
Steady, are you ready?
Speaker 3 (28:56):
And I'm like, this is that's too hard for this
generation of Nick players. They are not those nineties Knicks players.
I could see that Jalen Kat, you know, Josh Hart.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
They're they're likable. They don't have like that real edge
to like.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
Those the John Starks, the Patrick Ewings type players from
that era, but they're still so likable. I was just saying,
I'm like, these are the most likable Knicks like that
don't have that edge, which they don't need to. But
I was just like, these guys all look like they
could be a really great Saturday Morning cartoon that I
would let my kid watch.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, they're all they're all kind of fun.
They're they're a good gang.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
Good guys, a bunch of guys. No one you're gonna worry.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
About all too like that. Yeah yeah, yeah, all right.
So anyways, well we'll be watching Don't let Us Down,
New York Booles.
Speaker 3 (29:44):
Motherfucker do fine, bro get that chip Man fucking rooting
for you all.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
But Ben Shapiro isn't What was his reasoning.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
I think it's because it's the these democrat these socialists
are actually supporting the New York Knicks, and if they win,
that's a victory for them. And he's it's just like
it's a bi association because New York City it's Amani
likes them, therefore they're bad. And I have a lot
of friends who think this is they're there's they're saying
I'm wrong for this, But no, I that's that's the
(30:15):
level of analysis.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
That Ben Shapiro's into right.
Speaker 3 (30:17):
Now, Zoran, mam Donnie will be happy.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
Uh we got some semi good news.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
Yeah, Kat.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
The show, Uh, member.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
Of the.
Speaker 3 (30:33):
If you remember back in the fall, she was like,
you know, she found herself along with five others under
federal indictment because they did the dumb thing of exercising
their First Amendment rights outside of an immigration detention facility
in Illinois. And next thing, you know, they've been indicted
for felony conspiracy because they were too close to a
(30:54):
federal vehicle. And everyone was like looking at this and
like holy ship. You know, like another one of these
escalations where what you can see what an actual weaponized
justice department looks like going after Americans that are legally
just critiquing what the government is doing, but because they're
expressing an antithetical viewpoint to the administration, that equals felony conspiracy.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
Yeah. She put her hand on the hood of a car, right, yeah.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
Yeah, yeah exactly.
Speaker 3 (31:23):
That was like moving, so it's like not to be
like I'm gonna hulk smash this car.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
Even then, it's like that wasn't anything.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
They're very sensitive about people being attacked by moving cars
like that. Yeah, that's interesting that they should know. They
were like, but in this case, our moving car was
actually in grave danger from this small person.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (31:42):
And what's crazy is too is like they tried to
get an indictment and they were unsuccessful a few times.
So again this from the Guardian quote. The case collapsed
amids stunning allegations of prosecutorial misconduct, including grand jury manipulation. Later,
the US Attorney Andrew Boutros, the federal prosecutor who leads
the US Department of Justice Chicago office, showed up to
personally drop all charges. The Broadview six case was already
(32:03):
on shaky ground as a headed for trial. Prosecutors had
dismissed two defendants in March and then dropped all felony
charges against the remaining four in April, leaving only misdemeanors
for trial. The final nail for the prosecution came during
a May twenty first hearing days before the trial, when
the US District Judge April Perry sharply criticized federal prosecutors
over misconduct revealed in transcripts from the grand jury proceeding.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
Perry said the.
Speaker 3 (32:28):
Prosecutors improperly tried to influence grand jurors, communicated with them
about substantive matters outside the grand jury room, and removed
jurors who disagreed with the government's case from the deliberation.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
So like they fucking did.
Speaker 3 (32:41):
Yeah, well, the first two they couldn't even get the
grand jury to fucking move. So they're like, fuck, all right,
this third one, we're just gonna have to go all
in on fuckery and got this flimsy indictment and boom
has now led them to the cases being dropped.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
So the legal jeopardy is over.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
The defendants still collectively all around a million dollars in
legal fees, and you know a lot of them have
been fundraising and crowdfunding for this kind of thing. And
in the Guardian, Kat said, quote, that's not a happy ending.
It's just an ending. It's not justice, but it is
a win because yeah, going to fucking court is already
its own financial monster, unless you're someone who's like James Comey,
(33:23):
who's just like, yeah, all my friends are lawyers, fucking
I'll eat that. Yeah, that's a completely different proposition, not
already on top of the stress of being like I
got the fucking government coming after me because I deigned
to say that the detention of these people is fucked
(33:44):
up and illegal.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
Yeah, that's a horrifying situation that they were put in.
And it's wild that the government, with like just complete
willingness to be corrupt, was still unable to like pull
off more than that, So we're saved by designed incompetence
(34:06):
once again, I would have to say in this case,
but shout out to Kat will put a link in
the footnotes for where you can contribute to their legal fund.
Let's see, there's a Meet the Press thing over the
weekend that made some headlines. I don't know why. It's
just Donald Trump like being mad and huffing and storming
(34:28):
off from another interview, but like I get, you know,
meet the press as an institution. So people are like,
oh my god, I can't believe he's going on Meet
the Press, and they asked him some difficult questions that
he's not used to being asked. He defended the quote
anti weapon weaponization slash fund and claimed that he never
(34:49):
promised that he wouldn't start any wars during the campaign,
even though it's like the easiest thing to just clip.
And then when Kristen Welker pushed back on his election
conspiracy theories, he said, it's happening right now in California,
as we'll get to. Uh. He freaked out and left
and said thank you darling before yanking off his mic.
Speaker 3 (35:11):
Yeah, very it was that hole back and forth was
pretty wild like it was just not like.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
She kept going like, well, the where's you evidence? Where
He's like, is illegal?
Speaker 1 (35:21):
It was stolen.
Speaker 2 (35:21):
She goes, okay, then where's the evidence? Can do you
have a name? He's like, you just have to look
it was it would just have to look.
Speaker 1 (35:29):
Oh yeah, I would love to look at evidence.
Speaker 3 (35:32):
Also, the rain in the background is so loud because
they're doing in like a fucking garage.
Speaker 2 (35:38):
It was a dirty election. This is happening again right
now in Californa.
Speaker 1 (35:44):
Now in California, right now.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
I like her energy. She's like, you never where's your evidence?
Speaker 1 (35:50):
My guy?
Speaker 2 (35:51):
Slow, they're urging O, they're crooked there urging the votes
to be counting.
Speaker 3 (35:54):
I'm just skipping through that. This is the whole tone
of this back and forth and meet.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
The presure's crooked.
Speaker 1 (36:00):
I'm not crooked, but let's uh.
Speaker 3 (36:03):
And then this is when he finally turns the rips
his microphone off and she's like, please, I came all
the way from Wisconsin, or all the way to Wisconsin.
Speaker 1 (36:12):
Let's call it quick because I've had enough.
Speaker 3 (36:14):
Thank you, mister President.
Speaker 2 (36:15):
Let's please. I traveled all the way to Wisconsin.
Speaker 1 (36:20):
I know.
Speaker 3 (36:23):
On it off in the ring, and I've given you
enough time you would have straightened out your pressed because
you know what, mister country can never be great traveled.
We traveled all the way to Wisconsin for the.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
He looked like he was gonna give her a kiss
on the cheek at that point.
Speaker 3 (36:40):
No, there was just a huge lighting rig, like a
big soft box above them, so he had he couldn't
fully stand up under using her balance because he's not
strong with that LIFs or balance. Yeah, and then like afterwards,
she's like, yeah, we this was this is what she
said on the other side of the interview after he
just walked out.
Speaker 2 (37:01):
And a lot of people are like, huh.
Speaker 1 (37:03):
I spoke with President Trump on Saturday, and we both
acknowledged the complications during the interview posed by the rain.
He agreed to sit down with me for another meet
the press interview.
Speaker 2 (37:14):
Uh huh Wait, what that feels like?
Speaker 3 (37:17):
The kind of thing you say because you're trying to
manage the relationship. It's like, it's not because you I
was confronting you with your total lack of evidence, with
all your allegations. It was the rain, right, Like the
rain kind of messed it up, right, That's what it was, yeah,
it was, and then I'm sure he was like it
was the rain.
Speaker 1 (37:35):
Yep, we had a very productive conversation. It just happened
to be raining rain.
Speaker 3 (37:40):
So I'll have another one. We'll do another one. I
acknowledge it was the rain.
Speaker 1 (37:44):
Is he right, though, Miles?
Speaker 3 (37:45):
Is?
Speaker 1 (37:45):
There is there active vote rigging happening in California right now?
Speaker 3 (37:51):
Because the US Attorney that's in charge of like the
LA office had to come out and like actually debunk
one of the fucking conspiracy theories about votes.
Speaker 2 (37:59):
And then they're like, we just you know, there's a conspiracy.
Speaker 3 (38:01):
There's a theory going around that the vote results came
back where one Canada got zero votes.
Speaker 2 (38:07):
They're like, we've reviewed the matter. That's not true. Everyone
got votes that round. Keep looking.
Speaker 3 (38:13):
So I'm surprised that the US Attorney's office even did
that with a appoint who's there to be like exactly,
that guy's like he's fucking five.
Speaker 2 (38:20):
Get that guy out of here, right.
Speaker 3 (38:22):
But No, there is no voter fraud, as much as
people love to say that. It's just that we allow
things like you know, mail in ballots that have been
postmarked on election day, there's seven days to still get
those in so and because of the way people vote
in California, most people just drop their ballots off the
day of or many do. So you just left with
(38:43):
a huge fucking bottleneck of shit to process that, and
it takes.
Speaker 2 (38:48):
More time to get through everything.
Speaker 1 (38:49):
Have you watched the Lakers game on TV? Like there's
nobody there for the first quarter? People in Los Angeles
show up late as fuck to everything, even like it's
sold out by the end. Yeah, they show up late
to everything, Like give them a minute to count the shit.
But yeah, so, I mean, the big news in local
(39:10):
politics here in Los Angeles was that as Miles had predicted,
and I was worried. I thought, I thought we were
headed for the Spencer Pratt administration. But they kept counting
the votes, which is which is crazy, an unprecedented move
by Democrats to secure power. They kept counting the votes,
(39:31):
and as a lot of people who knew which votes
were outstanding versus which had already been counted, as a
lot of them predicted, Nathia Rahman has overtaken Spencer Pratt
and is now in second and likely to face Mayor
Karen Bass in the runoff election.
Speaker 3 (39:49):
Yeah, oh Man, And remember Spencer you said you were
going to fuck off out of la if Yeah, he lost,
so you.
Speaker 2 (39:56):
Better be fucking off out of LA.
Speaker 1 (39:58):
Well, but this was a fake election this.
Speaker 2 (40:01):
Yeah, and you're a fake ass celebrity bro. Yeah, get
the fuck out of here. Get the Yeah.
Speaker 3 (40:06):
It's uh that a lot of people are like, what,
how is this possible? It's like, man, so many people
were sitting on their ballots of the day of I
knew so many people who were like filling them out
Tuesday and then dropping them off.
Speaker 1 (40:19):
Yeah, because they wanted to see if like they should
go with or yeah. Yeah, and they chose I think
wisely because anybody else probably would have split the vote.
Speaker 2 (40:31):
So I think Karen Bass didn't want this one though.
Speaker 1 (40:34):
Came back. So that's the thing. Like there's a Hollywood
Reporter article with the headline like it's the most glowing
possible journalistic take on like the rise of Spencer Pratt
and like he was really like changing things and shaking
things up, but he was no match for the democratic machine, right.
It was just like the democratic machine did not want this.
(40:56):
They they wanted to run against Spencer Pratt, like that
that was what they wanted. They don't want Nithie Rahmin
because she's going to challenge her from the left, and
they don't do well in those elections, you know, I
think they were gonna do badly, worse than they were anticipating,
no matter who the second candidate was. But that's hopeful
(41:20):
that that it's somebody coming from the left.
Speaker 3 (41:23):
Yeah, to have like a blue city like that and
be like you can get you can get the status quo,
or we can try something progressive here.
Speaker 2 (41:30):
What's what they're gonna be.
Speaker 1 (41:31):
Right right now?
Speaker 2 (41:32):
We'll see if that affects Karen Bass's policies.
Speaker 3 (41:34):
That's the one thing a lot of people are curious of, Like,
is she gonna go try to find more progressive, more
progressive support with their policies.
Speaker 2 (41:42):
I'm not sure about that. But oh man, the Hollywood reporter, Man,
I just love their political coverage, always the best.
Speaker 1 (41:51):
I can't wait until the I can't wait to see
the demographics on who voted for Spencer Pratt because I
think it's going to be so heavily it's just like
rich white, you know, oh yeah, oh my god. I
can't can't imagine.
Speaker 3 (42:07):
I mean, it's all the people like when you look
at sort of like very westside of a Yeah. And
it's people who live in less dense, densely populated parts
of LA who are already like sort of philosophically like ooh.
Speaker 2 (42:19):
Ooh ooh no no no, no.
Speaker 3 (42:20):
No no, I want to look at my golf course
or I want to just have as much space as
possible where The people who like live in the more
densely populated areas of like LA were definitely trending towards
Nythia because they're like, yeah, housing policy, interesting, can we
can we hear more about that?
Speaker 1 (42:37):
Those golf course people don't want Nythia coming because she's
already voiced look the other way, she says, you'd look
the other way when we occupy golf course. That's all
we need, that's all we need. Hey, so you're saying
there's a chance, guys, I'm just saying.
Speaker 3 (42:49):
January sixth, twenty twenty seven, break golf course, run up.
Speaker 1 (42:53):
That's okay, let's take a quick break. We'll be right back,
and we're back babba. Let's see, the Pentagon is suddenly
worried about Israeli espionage after decades of not giving a
(43:18):
shit about Israeli espionage.
Speaker 2 (43:21):
What wait, what matter?
Speaker 3 (43:22):
What matter of espionage are we talking about here?
Speaker 1 (43:26):
They've reportedly upped their assessment of the espionage threat posed
by Israel to the highest category, to critical, because of
Israel's effort to gain intel about America's America's negotiations with Iran,
although they note that the surge began in twenty twenty
(43:46):
four Serge great after Biden began stepping up pressure on
Israel over its genocide and Gaza. I'm sorry, kind.
Speaker 2 (43:56):
Of, I'm sorry, Biden's stepping stepping out.
Speaker 1 (43:58):
Stepping up his pressure of being like, I'm this guy's
getting mad.
Speaker 3 (44:03):
You couldn't handle a headline that was like Biden says,
it's quote bullshit, right, Okay, what do you need?
Speaker 2 (44:09):
How many bombs do you need?
Speaker 1 (44:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (44:11):
Yeah, here here, here.
Speaker 1 (44:12):
So, officials are stressing that recent Israeli activities have gone
beyond what Washington traditionally considers acceptable among allies.
Speaker 2 (44:20):
Allies money being poured into political coffers.
Speaker 1 (44:23):
Yeah, it's like that. They include Trump envoy and key
negotiator Steve Whitcough, the Pentagon's top policy official, l Bridge A. Colby,
and one of his deputies have been targeted. And they
also like, so just to give you a baseline of
like what they were willing to look the other way
for right to this point, and like what they've escalated beyond. Right,
(44:47):
So they were caught placing cell phone surveillance devices near
the White House in twenty nineteen.
Speaker 3 (44:56):
Oh and what they just did. They just read them
like the little rascals or something.
Speaker 1 (45:00):
They're like, Wow, they treat them. Yeah, they treat them
like they're opening a door and the little rascals are
falling through with a cup on their ears. Why you little? Also,
I just wanted to like people who are up on
surveillance technology and just like spy, like you know, uh, spying.
(45:23):
I am curious, like is there a database somewhere of
just like everything modern intelligence communities are able to and
also doing like actively to spy on us, like they
they can listen to I guess I knew that they
could like monitor cell phones and just like take all
that shit in, but like that just it feels like
information we should all have as we're coming to terms
(45:43):
with the reality that we're enemies of the state inside
an evil empire. Like so they could just like listen
to whatever that's happening.
Speaker 3 (45:51):
Anytime I see like headlines from a security conference and
those stuff like, yeah, man, you can just fucking own
someone's cell phone remotely with everything and open the camera
if you want. Yeah, cool, So that there, we're okay
with your cell phone surveillance devices will just give you
a little bit of a finger wag at that one.
Speaker 1 (46:12):
The editor says, yes, Google Wi Fi sensing if you
want to have a panic attack.
Speaker 4 (46:18):
So Wi Fi is radio signals, and you can use
those radio signals to literally see your heart rate where
you are in your house.
Speaker 1 (46:28):
It's kind of terrifying.
Speaker 3 (46:30):
Oh, because of like how your your body is interacting
with those frequencies and like giving.
Speaker 1 (46:35):
You not just because I have myself hooked up to
a monitor at all times that I'm sending directly to Google.
Speaker 4 (46:41):
No, not just that, but it's like you can you
can sort of tap into the actual Wi Fi signal and.
Speaker 1 (46:48):
The Wi Fi just like can see everything. You can
see you, you can see your heart rate, you're breathing.
So there's all sorts of stuff to monitor people.
Speaker 2 (47:00):
That's cool.
Speaker 1 (47:01):
That's cool, man, because I'm that is pretty cool.
Speaker 3 (47:04):
I need my I need my WiFi rider to know
if I'm home or breathing heavy.
Speaker 2 (47:09):
But don't, but don't look at.
Speaker 4 (47:10):
They try and sell it as a feature as like, hey,
it will turn stuff on when you come home.
Speaker 2 (47:16):
Don't need that.
Speaker 1 (47:17):
Yeah, No, I don't want that.
Speaker 2 (47:20):
Don't need that. Don't need that.
Speaker 1 (47:21):
Look at this guy. He's a little horny again this weekend.
Look at him.
Speaker 3 (47:27):
Like, this is the work you do a Department of
Homeland Security. Yeah, where we monitor how horny people are.
This guy's a freak.
Speaker 1 (47:36):
We're calling it a crush recession. Not as horny as
they were a couple months ago.
Speaker 2 (47:41):
Were there.
Speaker 3 (47:41):
I'm guessing there's like other things too, where outside of
the wire tappings and things like that, they're like, Okay, guys,
you can't this. This feels a little like you're escalating
on how you're trying to.
Speaker 1 (47:52):
Yeah. They didn't give specifics because it's like an ongoing
intelligence problem, so they're not like, all right, here's what
we caught them doing. But they just mentioned who has
been targeted, and then we can look at the history
of what they have done, right, Like they've surveiled and
(48:13):
manipulated American embassy workers within Iran, wiretaps, bribes, and in
one particularly fucked up case, they rigged a fake abortion
case against a clerical employee as part of an unsuccessful
effort to blackmail and ultimately recruit him.
Speaker 3 (48:27):
I mean, these are the kinds of things hearing like, well,
this is documented. Imagine what they're doing.
Speaker 1 (48:32):
Yeah, what they're getting away with now, if.
Speaker 3 (48:35):
They're willing to go as far as a fake abortion
case to get somebody to flip or you know, be
part of the intelligence operation. God, I can only imagine
the kind of stuff that's out there, with the fact
that they have access to people's cell phones and you know.
Speaker 1 (48:50):
Uh, anyways, they've also tried to recruit marine guards for
monetary rewards. So just stuff that I'd be a little
suspicious of. Who is any country? You know?
Speaker 3 (49:03):
Just I wonder, But listen, like last final straw must
have been something, and I've been trying to keep turn
a blind eye. But I guess now we have to
up things to critical Yeah uh well, uh well, guys,
just go back to like an old Motorola brick.
Speaker 1 (49:21):
Phone, you know, you know, moto every time his phone rings,
his heart rate goes up. All right, those are some
of the things that are trending on this Monday, June eighth.
We are back tomorrow with the whole last episode of
the show. Until then, be kind to each other, be
(49:42):
kind to yourselves, get your vaccines where you still can't
get your flu shots, don't do nothing about white supremacy,
and we will talk to you tomorrow.
