was when it was a day to celebrate it.

Speaker 3 (03:12):
I knew it was an ice cream. There's a Spimoni
restaurant in the valley that my parents never went to
because it was expensive when I was a kid, so
I just knew it as the expensive Italian restaurant that
we didn't go to.

Speaker 1 (03:23):
It's definitely Italian, and I knew that based on the name.

layers of different colors and flavors containing candied fruits and
nuts my favorite. Oh yes, I don't want the inside

For me, it was that the cookie cakes.

Speaker 1 (10:16):
Cookie cakes. They had Field I remember that.

Speaker 2 (10:19):

at the time. I think it had a different name.

Speaker 1 (10:24):
It was big, like pizza sized chocolate chip cookies.

Speaker 2 (10:28):
Yeah, and you would cut it into it.

Speaker 1 (10:30):
Yeah. And then Skyland Chili they have that up in
the food court.

You're always going to have a Tomorrow.

and then a Merry Go Round a little bit further in,
like the store, the Clothing Store of America.

Speaker 3 (10:45):
Around this is the ship people talk about when the
apocalypse happened, Like, describe a mall.

Speaker 1 (10:50):
You'd walk in exactly, We're there, nobody really there would.

Speaker 2 (10:55):
Be there would be a penny, you'd put a penny
in and you could ride the tiniest, the tiniest what's
it called Merry go Round?

Speaker 3 (11:04):
Mary for a penny spun around slowly. It was an
office chair.

Speaker 2 (11:11):
I feel like outside of Kroger was a penny you
could get on that little that could.

Speaker 3 (11:16):
Be simpler times.

Speaker 1 (11:21):
Well, Beth, we're thrilled to have you here. You're gonna
get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First,
we're gonna talk about some of the news stories that
we're talking about. Gavin Newsom is a fucking edge lord
dog he is. He's tweeting, he's ship posting his way
up the charts of democratic politicians. So we're gonna we're
gonna talk about that, how he is conquered Twitter. We're

(11:45):
gonna talk about Trump's latest obsession with the Smithsonian and
how it's just like one person who works for him
is like obsessed with this, and that's how it works.
That's how it happens.

Speaker 3 (11:57):
You just have to get seen, now, Grandpa. You have
to aim in a direction and be like, hey, yeah,
that that that that that do that m hm.

Speaker 1 (12:04):
So we'll talk about that. We'll talk about cassette tapes,
we'll talk about Chris Platt, Chris pat Chris Pratt, Oh,
Chris Younger Pratt, Yeah, all of them, plenty more. But first, Beth,
we do like to ask our guests, what is something
from your search history. That's revealing about who you are.

Speaker 2 (12:22):
I have four options because I really looked at my
last Google search. The closest one was when should I
arrive at LAX if my flight's at six am? I
keep wanting it to say eight am.

Speaker 1 (12:36):
I won't say that.

Speaker 2 (12:38):
I've been touring for what at least fifteen years. I know.
When delete, it's like, I'm just upset.

Speaker 3 (12:45):
Truly magical thinking, like you're asking me, like, oh, maybe
this fucking time, there's.

Speaker 2 (12:50):
Been a change and they don't want there two hours
before I've really I'm normally a very type a person.
I've been cutting it a little close lately. I will
say yeah, because dang, it stinks to get up that early.
I really I think I'm gonna have to get picked
up at four four in the morning.

Speaker 1 (13:07):
Yeah yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, forms like right next
to the airport.

Speaker 3 (13:12):
Yeah, I was gonna say four to get there by
four thirty four forty five.

Speaker 1 (13:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (13:19):
Oh, if you're not checking bags, I am checking out
pre check.

Speaker 2 (13:22):
I have pre check, but I am top American, so
I think I can go right to the priority line.

Speaker 3 (13:28):
Yeah, yeah, take it bag all right.

Speaker 1 (13:30):
Showing up to the airport late is like a young
person's game. Like I used to show up late and
be like I missed my flight shit, And now I'm
I can't sleep normally the day before a flight, no
matter when the flight is, because I'm.

Speaker 2 (13:44):
Like, well, guys, I'm not I can't possibly set the
lift setting to three forty in the morning.

Speaker 1 (13:50):
Yeah no, fuck that, that can't be right.

Speaker 2 (13:52):
It has to be four or five. I'm getting picked
up at four or five?

Speaker 3 (13:55):
Yeah, that's no. You're not a vampire, you know what
I mean?

Speaker 1 (13:57):
Right? Three?

Speaker 2 (13:58):
I mean like I'm gonna get somebody Sam Freeze.

Speaker 1 (14:00):
He might as well be like I didn't sleep.

Speaker 2 (14:03):
It can't be three.

Speaker 1 (14:05):
You might as well be Mark Wahlberg, you know.

Speaker 2 (14:07):
Unless somebody was like, I don't know. I don't think
anybody convinced me that I need to get picked up
at three.

Speaker 1 (14:12):
I would never try to, and anybody who does is
not your friend, beth O.

Speaker 2 (14:19):
The other option was what area code is three two six,
because somebody called me from that yesterday and at first
I thought it was a prank. But I think it's
just because it's a scam. Likely but it's a dating number. Okay,
I still think it's scam and then the original.

Speaker 3 (14:35):
Right, so then it's like what four to two four
is in LA where they're like, we need another area.

Speaker 1 (14:41):
I was five one three.

Speaker 2 (14:42):
Yeah, I was five one three for a moment in
college because I went to Miami. But I'm nine three
seven Okay.

Speaker 1 (14:49):
So then just this is the question that I had
recently that I'm curious to get both of your takes on.
Have you ever answered a or had a spam likely call?

Speaker 2 (15:00):
Not be spam because I pick.

Speaker 1 (15:03):
Up when it's a spam Like, yeah, I never pick
it up, but like I've I have this fear when
I have a spam likely they're so non committal. I'm like,
if I'm like expecting a call from someone, I don't
know what their area code.

Speaker 2 (15:17):
Is, I know that's that's why I picked it up. Yeah,
you know, it's just you know it's a telemarketer because
it has the break you answer it and then it's like,
yeah the break.

Speaker 3 (15:27):
I like that you're kind of seating, like like it's
sort of like a sy op to get people to
pick up scam likely because I was like, you know,
you never know, Like this one time, it was my
mother's she was in distress and called from a stranger's phone.
You know, maybe you guys, maybe we should be picking
up I don't know.

Speaker 1 (15:40):
I had to send her three hundred dollars Google play
Store gift cards.

Speaker 2 (15:46):
My record Morty episode opens with a scam, A scam
likely call.

Speaker 3 (15:50):
Oh really, oh yeah, scam. I mean they're frustrating as fun.
But I'm assuming that they know that they're scam likely
because they're going off with some database where people are like, I.

Speaker 2 (16:01):
Mean, they've resorted to text messaging now right, how.

Speaker 3 (16:04):
Many job recruits answer those?

Speaker 1 (16:06):
Answer?

Speaker 2 (16:07):
I do sometimes reply because I'm like, what are you?
They'll say I'm looking for a job, and I'll just
say some sort of random lie that makes me unquie.

Speaker 1 (16:14):
Man, I've gotten so many good job offers lately. Yeah,
my spam likely text.

Speaker 3 (16:18):
What what's when?

Speaker 1 (16:19):
I what?

Speaker 3 (16:20):
I got one today? This is someone from Aerotech. They
said they have a remote job opportunity seven hundred dollars
per day for just sixty minutes a day.

Speaker 1 (16:31):
That's fucking we should do that. Ship.

Speaker 3 (16:34):
I need to hop on that.

Speaker 1 (16:35):
Yeah, you need to hop on that. You do get
paid in Lydd's gift cards. Unfortunately, that's a problem all
the Dayton Perfect alas I left Dayton. I moved away
before lids became a thing. But I bet they had
a great lids if I had to guess, I really
don't talk about the news. What are the other two?

(16:57):
What are the other two searches?

Speaker 2 (17:00):
The other one was twenty eight by twenty by twelve
box my measurements, of course, No, I was basically trying.
I was trying to find I need to send back
my suitcase to get repaired. Oh okay, and it's like,
where can find a box that big I went to?
I went to the box place and they didn't have anything.
I gotta figure it out to box boxes. I didn't

(17:22):
go to box city, boxing cities where you go, Okay,
I'll look that up.

Speaker 3 (17:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (17:26):
And then lastly, you know how like I sometimes I'm
not the worst technology in social media, but like I
basically needed to post a link to one of my
tour dates and I'm like, where is it? So I
went started typing into Google Beth Stelling like to get
my website to come up, and it says it fills
it out for you. Oh and one that came up

(17:48):
was Beth Stelling husband and I'm not married. So I
was like let's see.

Speaker 1 (17:52):
Who who's my husband?

Speaker 2 (17:54):
The last so one in my search history is Beth
Stelling husband and it really made me laugh. Him is
my ex boyfriend?

Speaker 1 (18:03):
Is there are they confidently answering that you're married?

Speaker 2 (18:07):
And I feel like I took a screenshot of it
because it really made me laugh. But then that will
reveal I thin, guys, don't what think it matters if
it reveals somebody I dated, because.

Speaker 3 (18:14):
Man, I mean, I can just google it myself, that's true.

Speaker 2 (18:18):

I'm just kidding. What what's something? Best that you say
is underrated?

Speaker 2 (20:25):
Vacuuming. I absolutely love to vacuum.

Speaker 1 (20:29):
If you'd like me to vacuum.

Speaker 2 (20:30):
Your house, I'll come over and vacuum the hell out
of it.

Speaker 3 (20:32):
Oh you really like vacuuming like that?

Speaker 2 (20:35):
I love vacuuming.

Speaker 3 (20:36):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it is so good. Is it just
like the process of it of seeing a thing I
think I have, Like when I see the canister fill up,
I'm like, get the fuck in there.

Speaker 1 (20:47):
You ship nice, cry asshole. You could get away, didn't you? Yeah? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (20:55):
Yeah yeah. The only thing that makes me mad while
vacuum is is if it tells you got to clean
the filter or something because they got too much little dust,
tiny particles. I'm like, oh, I don't have time for this.
I need to suck up more particles.

Speaker 1 (21:07):
Yeah, they're all going to get away. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (21:09):
I really love vacuuming. I invested in many years ago
in a Melli. Yeah there's so much, And then I
got a Dyson because I, as everybody was saying, that's
what's up. But and it's pretty good. I don't want
fortunately because they can hear me right now.

Speaker 3 (21:26):
It's a guy behind Diyceon's. It's a huge piece of ship.

Speaker 2 (21:29):
Really.

Speaker 3 (21:29):
Yeah, It's like I was like it was one of
those things as a millennial, like I aspired to own,
like especially you know, growing becoming of age in the
two thousand and eight financial crisis and being out of
college at the time, Like, dude, I'll never fucking have that.
And then you see you read about this guy and
you're like, oh, you're like a anti immigrant piece of shit.

Speaker 2 (21:50):
That sucks.

Speaker 1 (21:52):
Really, what's up?

Speaker 2 (21:52):
I hope Meelie is good because they're the best.

Speaker 1 (21:55):
Yeah. I think they're French or something, right, they're from
a different turnament.

Speaker 2 (21:59):
Sounds like it.

Speaker 1 (22:00):
Yeah, Miles Dison also started the Terminator Apocalypse.

Speaker 3 (22:03):
That's the one Miles Dice and we do recognize, not
not Sir James Dyson, the Brexit free Sir James.

Speaker 1 (22:11):
That's, by the way. I couldn't disagree more. I have
a dog's aversion of vacuums. I run out of the
room every time a vacuum is very threatening. Do you
when you're vacuuming, are you like listening to music or
you or you're just like kind of hearing.

Speaker 3 (22:25):
That that is the music man.

Speaker 2 (22:27):
Honestly, it's like music in its own way.

Speaker 3 (22:32):
Yeah, especially get on some rug or carpet and you're
fighting that thing.

Speaker 1 (22:40):
Devil like or dice in commercial at some point where,
like Fred Astaire was vacuuming, I didn't see that.

Speaker 2 (22:49):
Yeah, I'm not listening to anything except the hum of
that machine.

Speaker 3 (22:53):
Sound of the dirt, and just hearing, just hearing the
little crumbs flicker in the canister.

Speaker 2 (22:59):
Maybe someone gets caught, and you gotta be able to
gotta That's why you gotta have an open here. You
can't have that vacuum be battling something without Yeah.

Speaker 1 (23:07):
Mh you gotta hear it. What's something you think is overrated?

Speaker 2 (23:11):
Say cold plunges mm hmmm, the cold plunge sauna thing
everybody's so into. I'm just sort of like, what, No, I.

Speaker 1 (23:21):
Just want to feel different.

Speaker 2 (23:23):
You're gonna get I don't know. It's obviously just like
a a wealth thing too, to be like, I'm gonna
put a bunch of cold water, I'm gonna get a
thing in my backyard yard. Second of all, paying to
just have a cold plunge in your backyard. We it's
gotta be filled with like yucky stuff.

Speaker 3 (23:46):
Right, this is I mean, I feel like that's it's
such a Joe Rogan coded thing. I see when people
are like, dude, I gotta have the cold plunge in
the thing, or people who are just really into elite
athlete shit, I'm like, that's not that couldn't be less mean.

Speaker 2 (24:00):
Yeah, it's hard to even take a cold shower. Oh yeah,
I ta many little torture to wake up. I'm denying
that it would wake you up or make you feel
a certain way, or maybe it's even good for your
I find.

Speaker 3 (24:11):
A fucking scalding A hot shower is way more energizing
to me than a cold shower. I can tolerate that more,
and my gas reflex kicks in like a fucking just
like you're sleepy.

Speaker 2 (24:25):
And then I can't stop the wedding if I take
two out of shower.

Speaker 3 (24:27):
Oh well, gotta be careful.

Speaker 2 (24:30):
I can't shower before a long drive.

Speaker 3 (24:34):
I'm sorry, officer, you're sane.

Speaker 2 (24:37):
Miss a hot shower.

Speaker 3 (24:40):
If you knew how hot the shower, you'd be like,
how did you get in your car? Man, sleepy man?
This is a hot shower.

Speaker 1 (24:52):
I do think it's it is similar to that, like
getting fucked up. That's for like people who don't get
fucked up, but like want to feel different. You know,
remember what.

Speaker 2 (25:03):
Did you guys have like an older cousin or somebody
that would like do the thing where they like their
circulation on their neck. It's like that.

Speaker 1 (25:10):
That was so hot in eighth grade where I grew up.

Speaker 2 (25:14):
We grew up in the same place. Watch this. I'm
going to choke myself out.

Speaker 1 (25:21):
We're gonna go pass out at Todd's house.

Speaker 2 (25:24):
I will say the kid that I used to do
that I had a huge crush on. He was like
my ex now ex step brother's best friend. And he's
certainly passed away from doing something equally right.

Speaker 3 (25:36):
What would you call it, dark Darwinian, I didn't know.

Speaker 1 (25:41):
Chasing the Dragon.

Speaker 3 (25:42):
Yeah, they're answering the call is a void.

Speaker 1 (25:44):
Chasing the pass out game Dragon.

Speaker 2 (25:46):
Today's I'm not I'm not. My brain's not firing on
all cylinders. I've not been able to think like two
to three things. Mary, you go around, couldn't think of that.

Speaker 3 (25:56):
I was just the first time I saw that it
was with the like this name kid I had who
went to a different school than me, so I was
always kind of seeing shit from a different school. When
I went over to his house and his friends came
over and we're doing that shit, and I was like,
what the fuck is wrong with these white kids?

Speaker 1 (26:10):
Bro?

Speaker 3 (26:11):
They're fucking sarah strangling themselves to death, like in a
bedroom and like the one kid hit his head on
the punk bed.

Speaker 1 (26:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (26:20):
I was just like, Bro, this is so fucking weird.
I like went home and I was just like, something's
not right, mom. They were killing themselves lightly.

Speaker 2 (26:31):
Look, when you don't have a lot of strife, you
have to create it.

Speaker 3 (26:34):
Yeah, I guess, so yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm like I
already feel the suffocation of white supremacy all around me.
But god, if you, hey, if it has to be
by your own hand, your own white hands, and so
be it.

Speaker 2 (26:45):
Hey, do like the rest of us, get it from
your parents.

Speaker 1 (26:47):
Yeah, let's take a quick break, we'll come back, we'll
talk about what's happening in the news. We'll be right back.

Speaker 2 (26:56):
Take a hot shower, take a hot shower.

Speaker 5 (26:58):
Make a breakfast, and we're back And.

Speaker 1 (27:14):
So is the Democratic Party. They're back from the dead.
They have a new strategy that everyone's like newsome baby,
He's he's do a thing and they love it. They
love it. Day folks, you should just start doing an
actual Trump impression like what in his public appearances too.

Speaker 2 (27:33):
I mean, yeah, in this area, nothing holding anybody back
at this point.

Speaker 1 (27:37):
Where I mean, who fucking cares.

Speaker 3 (27:40):
I think it would be cool if we saw more
elected Democrats do something more legislative to fight back. But
I guess we can take ship posts and jokes for now.
You know that that well, we'll take that. It's at where.

Speaker 1 (27:53):
Because he has such an anti don't give a fuck
energy like he he seems like someone who is in
a cold plunge right now.

Speaker 3 (28:02):
Oh, he's in a cold punch right, He's in a
cold plund right now. That hetamine smoked cigar.

Speaker 1 (28:08):
Right like do it, chasing every single trend for prolonging
his life, you know. I mean, he's a big Joe
Rogan fan man heard and I totally that I love
Joe Rogan.

Speaker 3 (28:21):
Sure, dickhead, But anyway.

Speaker 6 (28:23):
He's really taken social media by storm as he really
he's really presenting himself as the anti Trump Democrat fighter,
but on a rhetorical level pure not on a policy level.

Speaker 3 (28:35):
I mean there is I mean, obviously he is trying
to do like, for like jerry mandering. He's like, look,
if you want to add a bunch of seats, we
can do that. I'm like, okay, that's that's fair. Like, look,
you got to fucking fight fire with fire in that case,
I don't disagree with that if that's what Texas is doing.
But his recent posts are just basically we've we've talked
about it, but it's him or one of his staffers
just mimicking Trump's egocentric, incoherent style of using all caps

(28:59):
and giving his ops stupid nicknames. The most popular response
from the right has been some version of like, oh
grow up, or this is actually cringe, and I'm like,
this is okay, please tell us more. It's kind of genius,
like because to effectively sort of take down Newsom's parody
tweet style, you'd have to own that Trump himself is

(29:21):
a dumb fuck who tweets like a four chan ai
bot with like questionable grammar skills. So they're just like
they're trying to dance around it. Case in point, Dana Prino,
who used to work in the Bush administration. She's on Fox.
She gave this sort of take of She's like.

Speaker 1 (29:37):
I mean, can we read like one of them? Just
so people for anybody who like me, had not tried
to like, what's what's one of the because they are
doing like I feel like, he has a writer who's
doing a pretty good job of like approximating the whole.

Speaker 3 (29:56):
I mean, I think any of us could easily do this,
but I'm sure, but hey, bless whoever is getting paid
to do that, I.

Speaker 1 (30:04):
Don't think he could, is what I'm saying. Oh no, no, no, no, no, no,
you know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (30:08):
That's where the liberal implosion is coming in, because they're like,
just so everybody knows he's not really writing this. He
has a writer, which is so funny. It's like, yeah,
I mean, okay, that's what you need to say.

Speaker 3 (30:20):
He's I mean yes.

Speaker 2 (30:22):
Also, it reminds me of at least my liberal threads corner.

Speaker 1 (30:27):
Is like.

Speaker 2 (30:29):
I'm allowed to not like stuff that Gavin did before,
but like what he's doing now, it's like an announcement
and it's like sure, whatever, sure, yeah.

Speaker 3 (30:39):
I mean I like him.

Speaker 2 (30:41):
So you like when he did this, It's like.

Speaker 1 (30:44):
Are we like America? Why are you going out to dinner?
Are we not?

Speaker 2 (30:50):
Do you guys remember when freaking John Kerry lost an
entire election for being a flip flopper, which technically just
means changing over time. I mean, how could you not?
How could you not looking back? I'm like, all you
had to do in that moment, in my opinion, and
we can't go back, is just like, yes, I've changed
upon receiving new information.

Speaker 3 (31:11):
Right right?

Speaker 1 (31:12):
He did not do that. I don't think no, so yes.

Speaker 3 (31:14):
To give you an example of something that he tweeted
August fourteenth, all caps, Donald is finished. He's no longer
quote hot first to the hands parenthetical so tiny and
now me Gavin C. Newsom have taken away his quote step.
Many are saying he can't even do the quote big
stairs on Air Force one anymore, uses the little baby
stairs now sad tomorrow. He's got this quote meeting with

(31:38):
Putin in quote Russia, nobody cares. All the television cameras
are on me, America's favorite governor, even low ratings. Laura
Ingram parenthetical edits the tapes can't stop talking about my
beautiful maps You're welcome for Liberation Day America. Donnie J
missed the quote deadline, whoops, and now I run the show.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. GCN that

(32:02):
kind of ship, and then he'll post like ai slop
of like a Time magazine cover with him like with
a fucking crown on like long.

Speaker 1 (32:09):
One I had seen was him being prayed over by
like whole Cogan with angel wings.

Speaker 3 (32:15):
And getting Kid Rock and timper Carlson.

Speaker 1 (32:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (32:18):
Then there's like another one where there's like this uh,
you know legislator in California, This guy Carl DeMeo. He's
been like sort of just shading Gavin Newsom, and Gavin
like the office has been clapping back where it's like
he's like this vulgar behavior from Newsom can't stand and
he put you know a lot about vulgar behavior, wouldn't you, Carl,
with like a screencap of the New York Post that
says potential successor for San Diego's disgraced mayor his alleged

(32:41):
history of openly masturbating in bathrooms. And then it's actually
pretty good, No, it's pretty good, Like this is how
they should be interacting with everybody, decorum there for yeah, yeah,
out the window. I mean like there is this is
where people who kind of take like are weitty with words?

(33:02):
They have the edge on, just like the racist slop
that comes out of the right where you're just like, oh,
I don't know, Johnny jerk Off, feel like, oh my god,
how do you So? This is Dana Perino giving her
take and she's just sort of like this is like
embarrassing sad here here she.

Speaker 1 (33:23):
Is huge Trump supporter.

Speaker 2 (33:24):
This person the thing is or at the debate.

Speaker 7 (33:27):
The other thing for me is that for the last week,
Gavin Newsom and why am I giving him advice? You
had to stop it with the twitter thing. I don't
know where his wife is. If I want his wife,
I would say, what you are making a fool of yourself,
stop it, do not, do not let your staff tweet.
And if you're doing it yourself, put the phone away

(33:48):
and start over.

Speaker 2 (33:49):
And if you want.

Speaker 7 (33:50):
He's got a big job as governor of California, but
if he wants an even bigger job, he has to
be a little bit more serious.

Speaker 2 (33:55):
Okay, I'm sorry, be a little more serious like the
President of the United States that he is truly mimicking.

Speaker 1 (34:03):
She's doing the exact same thing as President of the
United States, but she's speaking to dumb people, right.

Speaker 3 (34:11):
And then so Newsom clapped back, he like screencapped that,
or he like quote tweeted that clip and was like, dude,
I've been doing this for a week and they still
don't get it. And then he then posted, Dana ding
Dong Perino never heard of her until today, is melting
down because of me, Gavin C. Newsom. Fox hates that
I am America's most favorite governor parenthetical ratings King saving America,

(34:34):
while Trump can't even conquer the quote big stares on
Air Force one anymore. Trump has quote lost his step
and Fox is losing it because when I type, America
now wins. Thanks to you, Thank you for your attention
to this matter, GCN. So yeah, Dana Prino then immediately
went on Fox again to Fox explain that actually I
do get.

Speaker 1 (34:54):
What's going on. Does this version?

Speaker 3 (34:58):
Let me just play this clip because she's so so
defensive and just trying to find a way to sort
of like explain how she does get it, but then
starts digging up Zorn Mumdani kind of in the process.
It's really strange. Here's here she is on the five
Jesse Waters tease her up for this Martha's Vineyard comfab
and a second Dana. But what was Gavin doing there?

Speaker 7 (35:19):
He was reading tweets that were written for him by
people that he is heavily investing in to try to
help him look more like Trump.

Speaker 2 (35:27):
I guess.

Speaker 7 (35:28):
I mean, I thought they hated Trump, but they're trying
to be more like him, and they have to pay
people to do it. The thing is, what I was
saying yesterday is that I believe that everybody needs to
find their own way. You don't see Governor Andy Basheer
doing things like this. He's running his state. Governor Josh
Shapiro running his state. Governor Gretchen Whitmer running her state.

(35:48):
And they love all them got big problems. They all
have things that they want to accomplish. They all might
want to run in twenty twenty eight, and they are
actually involved in being able to show what they show
their work, right, they'll be able to say, these are
the things that we did. California's got a huge amount
of problems. And if you think about Mom Donnie, his
authenticity is what rocketed him to the top and now

(36:11):
you have Cuomo trying to copy him, and it's just cringe.
And that was my point, is that if you're doing
this and it's not authentic and you're trying to do
somebody else, so.

Speaker 2 (36:20):
You say it's Hitler and you think that we.

Speaker 7 (36:22):
Don't get the joke.

Speaker 2 (36:23):
Oh no, we get the joke. It's just not funny.
He don't get is it funny?

Speaker 3 (36:28):
Oh boy? So now she's basically doing like the junior
high attack of like, oh my god, like's not even
original style, Like you're just biting his styles.

Speaker 1 (36:37):
Because you don't even have your own with him.

Speaker 3 (36:40):
When you're a bier, your pants is the cools really
should be like look at my cankles I've got I've
been cultivating my ankle strength and this diaper. I mean, yeah,
this is just very funny to see her try to
be like, look, if you want to win, you got
to act like these other governors who are doing like

(37:01):
I don't. I really don't understand.

Speaker 2 (37:04):
It's like a very stupid way of handling it. I
don't even know if she knew what she was saying.
It seems like, yes, it's a terrible but valid sort
of response to it's to me, it's just still playing
dumb though, because it's like, guys, you know, we're not
copying his style to win. We're mocking. Yeah, it's called satire.

Speaker 3 (37:25):
Well no, and we get it. It's just not funny. Yeah, okay,
that's fine. It sounds like it's struck. I mean, this
feels like we're it's sort of we're back in the
like weird sort of phase again when they were calling
everyone weird and it was it was fucking them up
so bad.

Speaker 2 (37:40):
They're like, yeah, weird, weird is weird?

Speaker 3 (37:45):
Yeah, like these motherfuckers are weird, and they're like and
now truly, I mean, it's like, it's just it's interesting
to see that because they are such thin skinned bullies
themselves that to just bully back in this way completely
sort of is disruptive or at least them, yeah, like
in their punditry. But again, unfortunately that's not dissuading them

(38:06):
from abandoning the policies, which is what we are kind
of left with in our lived reality. And I think, look,
it's fine because I like to laugh at this shit
and what like laugh at conservatives, but this this maybe
let's add a few more weapons here if you're trying
to fully fight back here rather than be like, dude,
you see that, Dude, I got Trump so pissed. I'm
going to be the nominee in twenty eight if there's
an election. I don't know, should I even worry, like Kevin,

(38:28):
do some if you even want to run in twenty
twenty eight, Like, there's a lot of other shit that
maybe needs to get solved very quickly.

Speaker 1 (38:35):
Their instincts are so bad, like the mainstream Democratic Party's
instincts are so bad like that, Yeah, that's funny. The
last time I've seen them the other side, the Republican
and conservative side short circuiting, like this is the weird thing,
and they just like went away with that from that
for no reason, like they were just like, I don't know,
it seems mean, let's let's quit it, let's cut it out.

(38:57):
I hope, I hope they go with this. And yeah,
I mean, if there was a lesson to learn from
things that have succeeded from the Democratic Party in the
past six months, I would prefer that they learned the
lesson from zorin Mamdani and be like, wait, these policies

(39:18):
are actually popular, but they don't seem to be doing that,
right if he combined those two things, wow wow wow wow.

Speaker 3 (39:27):
Yeah, right exactly, or at least articulate a bunch of
policies that are so antithetical to what's going on that
people don't be like, oh, yeah, that's a way better
way of doing things than whatever the fuck this is.
But you have so many of the establishment Democrats are
just in this sort of state of paralysis too, because
they're like, I think it's just easier to be like
Trump's lost it and he's distracting the country rather than

(39:50):
really sort of sounding the alarm because this every day,
like the existential threat to what we even thought was
fucking normalcy is just fuck, it's going up in smoke.

Speaker 1 (40:00):
Yeah, all right, Should we talk about the Smithsonian real quick,
because this is something that seems to be breaking through. Specifically,
Trump literally said that the Smithsonian is too focused on
quote how bad slavery was.

Speaker 3 (40:18):
Yeah, like, oh my god, we get it, you got
It's actually a lot worse than I was even taught
in school.

Speaker 1 (40:25):
Yeah, the vastly under reported.

Speaker 3 (40:31):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, but okay, okay.

Speaker 1 (40:34):
But the museums are like the one place that it
is mentioned, and so they've got to get rid of
those two on the margins, you know. So in March
he signed an executive order directing the Board of Regents,
the Board of Regents to eliminate quote improper, divisive or
anti American ideology from their museums. And that has had

(40:57):
a number of dramatic consequences, including the fact that weird
Al has decided he will no longer be donating his
Hawaiian shirt for an upcoming Smithsonian exhibit.

Speaker 2 (41:06):
Was that a slavery exhibitor?

Speaker 1 (41:08):
I don't think it was.

Speaker 3 (41:10):
He wanted it, though, He's like, I think it would
be great in the African American He's like, Weird, Hey,
what the fuck we do? See curl?

Speaker 1 (41:17):
You know?

Speaker 3 (41:18):
Maybe you never know that's true.

Speaker 1 (41:21):
So his recent post was the Smithsonians out of Control,
where everything discussed is how horrible our country is, how
bad slavery was, and how unaccompanied, how unaccomplished the downtrodden
have been. Anyways, people looked into like, where where this
is coming from? Because I can't imagine that Trump is
spending a lot of time at the Smithsonian. They did

(41:42):
take him on a tour of the Smithsonian, and the
person who took them on that tour, was like he
was not happy. Anytime anything vaguely negative was mentioned, he
would get really upset, like like again, like like you're
taking a fucking four year old on a you know,

(42:03):
through a museum. At one point he paused in front
of the exhibit that discussed the role of the Dutch
in the slave trade, and the guy was like, oh,
is he some of us getting through? And then Trump remarked,
you know, they love me in the Netherlands. So he
was like, oh, never mind, this is about the Atlantic

(42:23):
slave trade. Okay, yeah, they love me there. So the
only name that is mentioned in this executive order that
he filed back in March is Lindsay Halligan. Halligan who
is an ex Miss Colorado contestant from back when Trump
owned the Miss Universe pageant, so like this was she
was a pageant winner under his pageant ceo ship. She

(42:50):
is a lawyer and she just met Trump at an
event at his golf course and he hired her right away.
Was it just like, I like the way you look,
you seem smart. Because she at the time she was
volunteering for the Inner or in turning for the Innocence Project,
which is shocking. And but then she said that Trump

(43:13):
reminded her of clients from the Innocence Project.

Speaker 3 (43:18):
Wait, what is that?

Speaker 1 (43:19):
Because I'm blind because he's being railroaded so much, you know,
wow wow, oh wait, she said, she said Trump reminded
of people from people from the Innocence Project.

Speaker 3 (43:31):
Okay, master manipulator. I love that. I love that. Uh great.
I like how basically he has his own like this Karen,
who will just roam DC and find things to be
upset about and then report back to Trump, right.

Speaker 1 (43:45):
Yeah, Like it's truly like the doge kid who got
beat up by teenagers like big balls. It's just like
people he knows just determine the fucking entire agenda, like
of the US government. She moved to DC to work
with Trump, and just before the inauguration went to the

(44:05):
Smithsonian and that's where she made all of these discoveries
that he now rizzly discoveries.

Speaker 2 (44:11):
Allowed to discoveries.

Speaker 1 (44:13):
I mean, to her, I think they were I think
they were truly discoveries. She was horrified that some exhibits
mentioned racism and that others shockingly focused on quote, another
country's history entirely had nothing to do with America. What
the fuck? How do you even how would you do
a museum that wasn't allowed to talk about other countries.

Speaker 3 (44:37):
We don't need content. I didn't come to a museum
for context or historical accuracy. This is just I mean,
you know, this is the playbook that the white nationalists
have to run, is to try and sanitize any evidence
of where where this country, like the origins of this
country and the ills that we've still not reckoned with.

(44:57):
So it has to be just like I don't It's like,
you know, it's it's like when you're like around a
dysfunctional couple and like the dude is cheating all the time,
and they bring it up, like why do you got
to talk about old ship? Yeah, it's like because it's.

Speaker 2 (45:10):
Because it's why I am the way I am to.

Speaker 3 (45:12):
Yeah, it's setting the table for everything we're experiencing now.

Speaker 1 (45:16):
I was bringing up a little shit.

Speaker 2 (45:17):
He's treating everything like a beauty pageant. He's like, it
looks it's it's yucky to talk about that. We should
only talk about positives. I don't want to see your
cellulite America.

Speaker 3 (45:29):
Right right, or that we ever had cellulite, or that
even existed. It never did. Everyone had barbie legs from
the beginning.

Speaker 2 (45:36):
So gross.

Speaker 1 (45:37):
Yeah, everything is like being made for that level of
like vanity and vanity and like even the like concentration
camps are like being named fun, like.

Speaker 3 (45:48):
Saturday Deportation Depot is, like they all have alliterative names.
There's the other one that they're.

Speaker 2 (45:55):
Opening, Gator Alcatraz.

Speaker 3 (45:57):
Yeah, there's one in uh, I think Iowa or Nebraska.
They're gonna call corn the corn Clink.

Speaker 1 (46:04):
Yeah, we talked about trending yesterday.

Speaker 2 (46:06):
Trump toilet is what they should all be called.

Speaker 3 (46:08):
Right, But again, like this is all also this helps
to to put us like a fun name on it.
Then people will be like, oh, it's just the corn
Husker Clink rather than the site of untold atrocities being
perpetrated against innocent human beings. Right, it's also too long
of a name.

Speaker 1 (46:23):
All right, let's take a quick break. We'll come back.
We'll talk about cassette tapes. Those are the thing, I guess.
And we're back. We're back, and so are cassette tapes.

(46:46):
Taylor Swift new album dropping in October, not just gonna
be on streaming, also on cassette tapes.

Speaker 3 (46:52):
And also on vinyl and also on CD, and if
you are a fan, you will buy every single fucking
copy because I fucking said the Taylor out of course.
I mean I did have that dream where she asked
me to date her to roll up the new album.
I was very conflicted, but we did.

Speaker 1 (47:08):
She was coming on the show.

Speaker 3 (47:09):
Was that why she no, no, no, no, no, just
she'd no, she's disappearing. Yeah, yeah, this is just it
was just a random you know how dreams are, like
You're just suddenly in it and I'm sitting across like
from a table, and she's like, look, so here's the deal.
I got this album coming out, and you're my boyfriend,
and I'm like, I I'm married. No, and also your
music isn't for me anyway.

Speaker 1 (47:31):
The tapes though, the tapes, yeah, I mean, I guess
it's a trend that's been in full swing for a
few years now. They sold four hundred and thirty six
thousand tapes in twenty twenty three, which is, you know,
people are like, it's the new vinyl. That is up
from eighty thousand and twenty fifteen. Okay, okay, obviously it's

(47:55):
in the eighties. It was like four hundred and forty
million cassette tapes sold. I was that was That was
my first music media that I ever purchased was a singles.
Oh yeah, it definitely a date real singles. I was
lucky enough.

Speaker 2 (48:11):
For Christmas one year. I think we all asked for it.
We got the CDs with the I'm sorry the cassettes
in the front and in the CD on.

Speaker 1 (48:18):
Top on top, Oh yeah, yep, yeah type boom box.

Speaker 3 (48:22):
I remember I couldn't get like what was my uh,
what are you chore money?

Speaker 4 (48:27):
Like?

Speaker 3 (48:28):
And I would want to buy a thing. We would
go to the store. I could only I could only
afford the singles because at the time the CD singles
were too much. So I have a fond memory of
being like maybe I can nope.

Speaker 1 (48:38):
I think it was like ninety nine cents. I know, crazy.

Speaker 3 (48:43):
It's like about a U two album just for the
fuck of it because it was so cheap on tape.

Speaker 1 (48:47):
I don't know if they're releasing a singles, I think
it's probably just the albums.

Speaker 2 (48:52):
How much are they doing now.

Speaker 1 (48:54):
The tapes in this economy.

Speaker 2 (48:56):
That's what I'm curious about. Also, what did Big boom
Box can touch Taylor and they're like, please give us
a second life. She's a walk problem.

Speaker 3 (49:04):
Yeah, let's see you can get uh there's a Madonna
tape for twenty bucks.

Speaker 2 (49:11):
So that's how much they're going to because I bet
hers is also going to be like twenty bucks.

Speaker 3 (49:14):
Yeah, you can get Metallica Woodstock ninety four double album
twenty five bucks man, that's a CD. Baby, what are
we doing here?

Speaker 2 (49:23):
What are we doing?

Speaker 3 (49:24):
That is in my day? That was this is now.
I'm like in my day that was two dollars fucking
twenty five.

Speaker 1 (49:30):
But I also couldn't buy the like parental advisory, but
like the track, you could get like some of the
songs on a single that would.

Speaker 3 (49:41):
Like a circumvent to circumvent Tipper Gore's wrath exactly.

Speaker 1 (49:46):
I also remember one time listening to the Mama said
Knock You Out a single and the I was like,
am I going crazy? El cool? Just voice sounds like
lower and you have it. The Walkman was running out
of battery. So just like dragging the tape slow normal, sure, normal,

(50:11):
like very gradually over the course of like then I
saw a white light. Yeah, children will finally understand the
word rewind again. Which is exciting.

Speaker 3 (50:23):
Yeah, I'm just I think every time I see like
the all these different collector crazes that like young people
are getting into, I have to remind myself that I
was at one point a collector. But at the time,
it was just CDs and tapes and like just like
people have their little labooboo little fucking shelves and shit,
I have my little CD shelf or DVD shelf or

(50:45):
I fucking had this CD book that you would carry
around with almost card be like, oh, you're driving home,
get my CDs and you have like sixty CDs and
that little case logic binder and ship, yeah binder.

Speaker 1 (50:55):
I had.

Speaker 2 (50:56):
I had one too, but they had the one, two, three, four.

Speaker 3 (50:58):
Yeah, the four. The forebanger was for the real music
heads too, yeah, And it.

Speaker 1 (51:04):
Was like a cool thing to be into. It was
like collecting, like having a good CD collection, and now
it seems like so ridiculous, like having a good like
stereo system. I feel like there's like eighties movies where
people just like talk about I was just watching Infernal
Affairs that.

Speaker 3 (51:21):
Oh, like the basis for the dipadded.

Speaker 1 (51:23):
Yeah, the depadded the original and like one of the
cool characters is like really into like speakers and like
stereo cables and stuff like that, Like, I mean they
established that they're kind of cool.

Speaker 3 (51:35):
I mean those kinds of things are I feel like
healthy interest to have again rather than being so online
where you're like I don't even care, Like I like
there is something too. I find myself like yearning for
these like older sort of activities that involve some kind
of process because I'm so used to like the instant
gratification of like the digital era, that I'm more and

(51:57):
more like, yeah, what something about changeable tuning a radio
again on a dial? You know, just the simple things.

Speaker 1 (52:05):
Yeah, that sucked. I never liked that.

Speaker 3 (52:07):
I was so good at it, so good at it
many a time you need something tune? Oh yeah, baby,
I had it well.

Speaker 1 (52:13):

Speaker 1 (52:41):

for people.

Speaker 2 (52:43):

Speaker 1 (52:45):
Tomorrow, right's trapping Amara, Well.

Speaker 2 (52:48):

and Saturday Ashville, North Carolina. I'm doing a little popping
in the Atlantic area next week and then Madison, Wisconsin
next weekend comedy on State pull up.

Speaker 1 (53:08):
Is there a work of media that you've been enjoying.

Speaker 2 (53:11):
Oh yeah, Well, the one thing I love people falling
and getting scared and that kind of crossings my time.
On social media. There's this guy called Rebel TV Pranks
on Instagram. It's like wrong, but it's not so harmful.
You know when you watch a prank and you're like, no,

(53:32):
this is too me. This one is a little mean,
but it's just people talking on their phones and he
kind of comes up to them and he's like, hey,
can you give me interactions? And they're like, and I
just love a good scare.

Speaker 1 (53:46):
Wait is this?

Speaker 3 (53:48):
Oh wow? I think I'm seeing one that was captioned
his soul left his body.

Speaker 4 (53:55):
Oh Jesus Closs, do I know where the bathroom is?

Speaker 3 (54:02):
I don't know the phone.

Speaker 2 (54:07):
Some crazy almost it wasn't though he does sneak up
on you kind of missed the getting. But that one,
that whole reel is real good because there's more scares
on that one.

Speaker 3 (54:17):
Oh man. Also, the title is so funny Rebel TV friends.

Speaker 2 (54:22):
I know, part of me wonders, is that the original guy?
Or has someone you know whatever you call it right
right raaking them and put them on their page. I
think that's the original guy.

Speaker 1 (54:33):
Yeah, that's funny. Miles, Where can people find you working
media you've been enjoying? Oh?

Speaker 3 (54:38):
Sure, find me everywhere at Miles of Gray talking ninety
day on four to twenty day Fiance. Yeah, let's see
a work of media. Just a tweet. Were just talking
about the Smithsonium at all. Chronology dot com on Blue
Sky posted Dear Smithsonian, safeguard the past. Move your archives
to Canada before destruction claims them. Yeah, maybe I know,

(55:01):
I am.

Speaker 2 (55:02):
It's it was a little dismal. Obviously we're in a
bad time, but hearing about that, it's just like or
just to RaSE, you can't how is he allowed to
just erase history like this.

Speaker 3 (55:13):
It's just well, yeah, that's they're doing the very superficial version,
And yeah, I think that's where God, I'm counting on
all the teachers who teach history out there, but even
even a larger burden on their shoulders from already being underpaid.
But god, like, that's like the one the last line
of defense we have right now. And I've just read
about how in Oklahoma, teachers who have moved from California

(55:35):
and New York have to go through this like fucking
anti woke screening process to be like, you're not going
to teach kids that they're accepted and they're as just
as they are, are you type shit?

Speaker 1 (55:45):
So yeahs that Oklahoma school superintendent when he's not busy
watching corn during meetings.

Speaker 2 (55:55):
He can be the children.

Speaker 1 (55:57):
That's right, all right? You can find me on Twitter,
Jack Underscore of Brian on Blue Sky at Jack ob
the number one workI media I've been enjoying. This is
a Chris Woke Marks on Twitter pointed out this thing
that is not it's just we pointed out how like
there are these articles about that justin Bieber impersonator where

(56:18):
they used actual pictures of justin Bieber to like get
people to click on it, just like little tiny. It's
weird to be obsessed with like little tiny marginal manipulation
like this, but it's still annoying to me, so he
pointed out. In the trailer for Alien Earth, they quote
the rap calling the show quote a world altering breakthrough.

(56:43):
This seemed excessive, even by film publication standards, So I
look this up. The phrase appears in a description of
the plot in reference to a scientific breakthrough that happens
in the plot. So they are describing a world alter
and breakthrough in the plot, and then they use that
as the pool quote about the movie beautiful. That's beautiful,

(57:04):
clever and shameless as fuck.

Speaker 2 (57:07):
Isn't that the name of the game lately.

Speaker 1 (57:10):
That's the sort of thing we should be mad about.

which is where we link off to the information that
we talked about in today's episode. We also link off
to a song that we think you might enjoy miles.

(57:31):
Is there a song that you think the people might enjoy?

Speaker 3 (57:33):
Yeah, this is from a producer called Cubo c O Ubo.
The track is called It's Like Love. It's just like
some nice sort of electronic beat music. It kind of
feels like early Flying Lotus. If you're a fan of that,
definitely check it out. It's called It's Like Love by Kubo.

Speaker 1 (57:51):
Ah right, we will link off to that in the footnotes.
