the house. Anyway, that's kind of a weird way to
put that. Let's talk about our guests. Okay, one of
the best to do it. We know him from the
days I cracked the Cracked podcast, maybe fucking Jeopardy. Maybe
they're writing, maybe they're wonderful podcast secretly incredibly fascinating. You

it's great to be here. Great. Yeah, I love a
like tension of will the next house burned down? That's
very cool. Yeah, Yeah, that's a.

Speaker 2 (06:04):
Lot of lower She's really good with narratives and their structure.
She said, we could let's keep this going. We might
get in a few more seasons out of this. Yeah,
I'm not gonna argue. The checks can't stop coming in.
We need the check to keep coming. So at a
certain point it may be revealed that we're working together,
which may negate my lawsuit that I'm pursuing in Southern
California Edison, So who knows.

Speaker 3 (06:27):
Yeah, that that is a good twist. If like Paula
vi is you when you're asleep like a Jacqueline hide things?

Speaker 2 (06:35):
Tyler Tyler Burn, Tyler Burn, Tyler Durdon.

Speaker 1 (06:40):
Yeah, I'm just like burn this plays down, and also
like can we get ice cream? I'm like, yeah, go
steal the soap and then sell it and then get
ice cream and cookies.

Speaker 2 (06:52):
Hell yeah, exactly, go to We're gonna do some light
arson and then we go to Diddy Reese for ice
cream cookie which you know.

Speaker 3 (07:01):
Lights club because you light stuff. Oh night club, Yeah,
one of them. We've got a few.

Speaker 5 (07:07):
We're work shopping this for our weird made up gang
where we do light arson and have cookie sandwiches at
the end. That's why I don't know, Maybe that's watch
ice is gonna start recruiting people with that ship. They
already dropped the eight there, they increase the aid. So
now like the elderly can be ice agents and Christy
Nolmes really loving that. It's it's a mess over there anyway.

Speaker 1 (07:27):
It's gotta be like that. It's like elder abuse on
both sides.

Speaker 2 (07:31):
Yeah, yeah, just like, oh my god. Like even like
the people are like, damn, bro, your country should take
care of you. They're like it was this or Walmart,
and you're like, oh god, anyway, thanks for being here, Alex,
thanks for being here. Polay, Let's give the listeners just
a quick quick taste off the old brick just to
make sure it's one hundred percent pure of what we're

(07:53):
gonna be talking about in the episode.

Speaker 1 (07:54):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (07:55):
First, we're going to talk about obviously, with every illegal
military occupation of an American city comes the right wing
propaganda to try and manufacture consent for the nonsense. In
this case, DC is so unsafe if no one will
can ever come to DC.

Speaker 1 (08:11):
So we will talk about those freaking statues staring at
me like what are they thinking? You know what I mean,
that's just so wild thy statue? Do that come to
life at night, someone just.

Speaker 2 (08:21):
Reveals how unwell they are. But that's one of their
threat vectors. They're like, you know those their statues in DC.

Speaker 1 (08:27):
Right, conspiracy, They're not even Confederate, Like what are they doing?

Speaker 3 (08:32):
You know?

Speaker 2 (08:33):
You know, Abe Lincoln is that big? Right, he's just
being real. Still okay, he's doing real still just wait,
he's waiting. He's rubbing his little Have you heard of
the National Treasure?

Speaker 3 (08:46):
Yeah, it's if he was big. We'll also talk about
uh oh sorry, go on. I just I like the
idea that if it's an Abe Lincoln statue coming to life,
you just help people and like make stuff better, Like
it would only be good if he came.

Speaker 5 (08:58):
To LA I mean, or is the horror film version,
Like it's if there was a giant statue version of
a Lincoln that came back, and like maybe he just
eats people and rips them from limb to limb.

Speaker 3 (09:09):
That's fine.

Speaker 1 (09:10):
I was saying. He finally like is able to come
out as gay. That's also pretty gay.

Speaker 2 (09:18):
So he's like he's trying to he's trying to be
low key at like at Pride and Ship.

Speaker 3 (09:22):
They like, is like is that top hat? Is that
a thirty foot tall marble a Lincoln with with a
leather vest on. Okay, what a great, great And then
we'll check it with McDonald's because they are doing some
ship that's really desperate. They're trying to bring like the

(09:43):
fucking the vibes back from the Grimace Shake, you know
what I mean, Like like they're trying to do a
Barbenheimer thing, like remember that thing that happened organically?

Speaker 5 (09:50):
Can we force it to happen again? The answer will
surprise you, and it is no. But we will also
talk about just everything around this thing is so fucking sad.
It's cringey as fuck. And we may even get to
those mutant bunnies that you have seen in.

Speaker 3 (10:06):
Colorado that look fucking terrifying, but it's actually not that
big of a deal.

Speaker 5 (10:12):
So I'm kind of bummed about that. I was hoping
for a rabbit based apocalypse, but we will have to wait.
But first, Alex Schmid.

Speaker 3 (10:19):
This sounds anti lab Boo boo by the way. That
last thing, I don't know. I don't know. The boo
Boo are cute. They're nice.

Speaker 2 (10:24):
No, not in this house, No, no Jesus, Alex.

Speaker 1 (10:29):
In this house, laboo boos are haunted dolls.

Speaker 5 (10:32):
The boos are they are they are nodes for a
demonic network of energy that I will not have in
this home. Okay, we are not compromising our salvation in
the Kingdom of Christ. Sorry, not today, not today, but we.

Speaker 3 (10:46):
Will break every other commandment there is.

Speaker 5 (10:49):
But first, Alex, what's something from your search history that's
revealing about who you are or what's you into right
now or we're into like five minutes ago.

Speaker 3 (10:57):
Yeah, I tend to be just searching stuff for the
podcast secretly incredibly dressing. But the weird recent one is
the flag of Jamaica. I've been learning about the flag
of Jamaica because it turns out, as of now, it's
the only national flag in the world with no red
and no white and no blue. Wow, Okay, I'm digging that. Okay, right,

(11:22):
it's green and yellow and black. Yeah, yeah, what is
the X signific? I look at somebody who loved Cool
Runnings as a child, Consider me an expert on Jamaican history. Wait,
what else? I mean?

Speaker 5 (11:34):
I'm guessing this is for an episode, so I won't
make you do the whole. This is part of what
we do in the data is that I guess we
have podcasters on and then we make them just do
their like.

Speaker 1 (11:40):
Do your show on our show.

Speaker 3 (11:42):
Yeah, weled duck in the show show Duck. Yeah, I
know we because we have one coming up about the
color red and so it's just red and white are
on most flags, one or the other. Yeah. Yeah, it's
a very rare exception that Jamaica. The green symbolizes the land,
the yellow, the sun, and the black the people people.
And after independence from Britain, they didn't do the corny

(12:05):
union jack in the corner thing. They just made a
flag and it's great, but it's the only one in
the world with no red and no white and no
blue right.

Speaker 1 (12:13):
Now, right, Wow, Adele was really onto something when she
was wearing those collars.

Speaker 2 (12:19):
I mean yeah, when we saw her at the when
she was.

Speaker 1 (12:21):
Jamaica was really onto something. Yeah. Yeah, those mixes were
so good. I still want to hear them.

Speaker 3 (12:29):
Look, when when it's time for the notting Hill Carnival,
the questionable attire comes out. Have you seen you know
that one white guy who's always wrapping in patois. He's
like a British dude. He kind of looks like Tom No,
He's like you haven't seen this guy. I don't know.

Speaker 5 (12:45):
No, uh here, I'll just play a clip of him
because he is wild, but he is out here. He
was at the notting Hill Carnival and he also had
his hair and some questionable braids.

Speaker 3 (12:59):
Dog step for night dog. You never see this guy.

Speaker 1 (13:07):
Well, he looks like a landlord, but like, what, why
is my landlord rapping?

Speaker 5 (13:13):
Why is my landlord who inherited this building from his aunt? Yeah,
in my business saying it smells like weed. You look
like weed, sir, That's what is it?

Speaker 1 (13:24):
But I heard, okay, I heard that, Like I don't know.

Speaker 2 (13:27):
I was I heart radio.

Speaker 1 (13:30):
I heart radio, but I've I've heard radio. And I've
also seen tweets and I saw a lot of tweets
around the time that Adele was at the notting Hill
Festival that was like you guys don't understand, like this
is not about America and like appropriation, like people do
this here. And then I was like, so, I was like, so,
I'm like does everyone do that there? Like every like

(13:51):
white British person is like it's it's dress up day,
like right right right?

Speaker 3 (13:56):
I mean I think she was even like maybe the
ban two not were not a good thing. Yeah, I
mean protective hairstyles.

Speaker 2 (14:03):
Maybe not she she did, I remember right after she
said I didn't read the fucking room.

Speaker 1 (14:10):
Oh that's so funny.

Speaker 3 (14:11):
I love her so much. Yeah, her voice is cute. Yeah,
except she's a Tottenham supporter. So whatever.

Speaker 2 (14:18):
Anyway, Alex, what is something you think is underrated?

Speaker 3 (14:23):
I think I've been reading recently about just what the
American public knows, and I think if you know any
basic facts about like which party controls Congress, or like
what is a freedom in the first ament, like anybody
who knows an incredibly basic thing about the country's government,
you're in the minority of Americans. What are we saying?
How like what percentile are we hitt and if I'm like,

(14:44):
if I can tell you like three amendments? It's the
main one I looked at. It was just do you
know which party controls Congress? And apparently recent surveys it's
around sixty eight percent of Americans knew, and then back
in the nineteen sixties it was a little bit lower,
which is amazing. I would have thought social media would
have made us less smart about that way. Sixty eight

(15:05):
percent of the country knows who's in control of Congress
right now. Yeah, yeah, like every election, I feel like
there's a lot of scuttle butt in the news of
like now that this seat went to this party, it'll
change this perception of nobody actually knows any of that.
Like the few people who do probably have a party
picked out, and everyone else is just vibing. So so
if you know anything, great, job you're underparted, tell me also.

Speaker 1 (15:27):
But I feel like part of that is everything is hell.
So like I was like trying to pay our Like
people can't memorize like numbers and amendments when they're trying
to like pay their bills and survive, you know what
I mean.

Speaker 2 (15:39):
Like, but we I mean, no people know who kind
of to be angry at, you know what I mean
in terms of directing their anger towards a party, So
I guess in that sense, but maybe it doesn't.

Speaker 1 (15:50):
But I feel like people are angry at everybody.

Speaker 3 (15:53):
Yeah, that's true. I mean, yeah, how many people are
still just like fucking Biden. They're like, yeah, you people
are saying seriously, still.

Speaker 1 (16:02):
Well they I mean, even the timeline of like COVID,
they blame like Biden for all of COVID, even though
Trump was president for the first.

Speaker 3 (16:10):
Yeah, that was even happening when they were saying that
Obama was in charge of the Epstein's Sweetheart Deal and
ship too, and people are like, no, it was George Bush.
You fucking losers. Get a fucking get a calendar, you
know what I mean?

Speaker 1 (16:23):
But really like Obama's behind all of this for the last.

Speaker 2 (16:26):
I wish Obama. I wish it was that elegantly solvable.
I wish you one person. Yeah, yeah, you know what
did you go back to?

Speaker 3 (16:34):
George Washington? Okay, just yeah, where's the teeth from?

Speaker 1 (16:38):
Bitch? I know they're not wooden.

Speaker 3 (16:40):
Okay, Okay, that's woke. Making me admit that they were
slave teeth is woke. So we're gonna keep saying these
are made roast.

Speaker 1 (16:48):
Dude, that's that's also groas.

Speaker 3 (16:52):
You's just bullying, George Washington.

Speaker 2 (16:56):
Go to Turkey.

Speaker 3 (16:58):
Go to Turkey full get.

Speaker 1 (17:01):
How embarrassing we left Britain. And then to solve the
teeth problem, you took him from slaves.

Speaker 2 (17:08):
What's under his hat? Oh that's a wig?

Speaker 3 (17:10):
Oh my guy? Oh what is that?

Speaker 1 (17:13):
When I move your hair, it's dusting up in here?

Speaker 3 (17:16):
You have some ash has hair it's Dan Drift my lady,
oh George, Okay, I would not be a lady.

Speaker 1 (17:24):
I would probably be a slave.

Speaker 3 (17:25):
Back the day, we'd be freaking them out because we'd
be dressed like this and we can hear.

Speaker 1 (17:29):
I would be like, bu, I feel like, is that
a key and peel sketch or something?

Speaker 2 (17:35):
Everything's a key and peel everything. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's
just a good way to default eat Ship Chappelle.

Speaker 1 (17:40):
Everything's a key and peel sketch.

Speaker 3 (17:42):
Everything is key and peel or in living color? Who knows?
Ale Schmidt? What is something you think is overrated? They
they just released a new jersey for Manchester City, the
soccer team. It's their new third jersey most of the
man City uniforms. A. This was one of the worst
ones I've ever seen. It's a mess. It just looks

(18:03):
like tense material. I don't know why they would wear
it at all. Is this the gray one? The gray one? Oh?
The gray Oh? Yeah? Whoa what the fuck? Yeah, it's
just like some green stripes. It looks like dirty.

Speaker 1 (18:21):
It looks like it literally like they're trying to do texture.
But yeah, but it looks dirty. It looks like they
just didn't wash a jersey.

Speaker 3 (18:29):
Oh yeah, it looks like it kind of looks like
the music video for Put Them on the Glass. I
haven't seen it, but oh yeah, that's a cirt makes
a lot of video. It was very r rated.

Speaker 2 (18:39):
I'm sorry that's a deep cut b et fucking description.
But it looks like a window pane with water.

Speaker 6 (18:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (18:47):
There's an artist I know who paints like very realistic
paintings of like you like what you see through a
window when you're driving when it's raining, and it looks
like that. But from afar it looks dirty as hell. Right,
it's dirty.

Speaker 5 (19:04):
I mean yeah, because Alex, I know you're getting You're
you're a bit of a kit man now these days
I feel like you like to you like to observe
a kid.

Speaker 3 (19:11):
Now. Are you a City fan? No, I'm a Manchester
United fan. So also I'm just hitting, but speak American.

Speaker 5 (19:18):
What the fuck is a kit Manchester United was one
of the most powerful clubs in the Premier League.

Speaker 3 (19:24):
They've had a bit of a falling off and now that.

Speaker 1 (19:26):
Kid kid is a club.

Speaker 3 (19:28):
Kid is a jersey? Is a jersey? Yes?

Speaker 5 (19:32):
Yes, I mean it is humiliating enough to be wearing
a man City kit. So on top of that to
wear this, that's a triple.

Speaker 1 (19:39):
Wait, what's the good what's the one that you you
root for?

Speaker 3 (19:43):
Oh me, Arsenal Football Club might God.

Speaker 1 (19:48):
Those are the only two I've like heard of.

Speaker 3 (19:50):
I think Arsenal. Yeah, yeah, they're They're a North London team.
And I don't know if you caught me, I was
shading Adele because she supports our art rivals, Todd to Hotspur.

Speaker 1 (20:00):
Well, obviously I'm in the know. I'm all cut obvious.

Speaker 3 (20:03):
And also just so you know, the Manchester City is
a sports washing operation.

Speaker 5 (20:08):
In terms of like their ownership because they are owned
by the Dubai basically, and so they're like, you know,
it's like the same Saudi Arabia owns Newcastle.

Speaker 3 (20:17):
Like so they're they're you know, we have these nations states, who.

Speaker 1 (20:20):
Are you I wanted brown people to own white people.
I was singing reverse slavery.

Speaker 2 (20:25):
Yeah, but like no, they're doing it subtly.

Speaker 3 (20:28):
They're like, if we can get people to go yippie
and then subtenly have that vibe associated with our country,
maybe they'll look past the slavery. Yeah, that's also the
same thing with like Dubai chocolate and people are like,
oh my god, Dube Chocol'm like they are they are
treat washing, their human rights violate.

Speaker 1 (20:44):
What is Dubai chocolate?

Speaker 3 (20:46):
Though?

Speaker 1 (20:46):
I saw it at the store. It was like a
million dollars and I was like, okay, I'm not going
to steal this because I could get caught.

Speaker 2 (20:55):
D buy chocolate.

Speaker 1 (20:56):
It's a felony to steal.

Speaker 3 (20:57):
And then I saw that.

Speaker 1 (20:58):
Trader Joe's was like Trader our Joses Dubui chocolate. It's

Everything is so like amazing and trending because of the tariffs.
Like it's so it's everything is a delicacy.

Speaker 2 (21:29):
Now it's thirty five dollars because it's made.

Speaker 1 (21:33):
One hundred dollars. You can tish grape, but we live

Arawon shopping bag? I'm like, oh my god, fuck smack.

Speaker 1 (23:40):
The ship things are like trendy, like I remember bringing
stuff back Trader.

Speaker 2 (23:45):
Joe's bags are huge. Reusable Trader joe bags are fucking
huge in Europe and Asia.

Speaker 1 (23:51):
People are like the wasn't there like a Trader Joe's
like mini bag that they have or something like that,
And then everybody was like obsessed with them. Everybody, I
don't know, like people onto like consumerist weird trends or whatever,
and then like need to have them because American culture
is like so exported. They're like, this is incredible, we.

Speaker 3 (24:09):
Have to have this. Just write a manifesto and learn
how to make your own home. You know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (24:16):
That's American God fucking get it together loaded in public
when you're buying fucking Dubai chocolate.

Speaker 2 (24:24):
No, no, no, I'm downloading the Anarchist Cookbook in PDF form.
All Right, we will see y'all in a little bit.
We're gonna take a quick break. Word from our spo.
Oh we have no sponsors anywhere. Okay, we'll ride back.

Speaker 3 (24:46):
And we're back. Like I was saying up top, we
saw this in LA when Los Angeles was deemed a
war zone with roving gangs and we had fucking there
was remember that raid that happened to MacArthur Park where
the are like you can't drop a boat into the
fucking fake ass pond a MacArthur Park. No boats and

(25:06):
cactical assault teams must keep it toill limited. No more
like show boats. Thank you, But like we have this thing,
that's my time, folks, honestly, Jesus Christ. I just start
like sliding my hands across the soundboard, just every possible noise. Yeah, oh,

(25:29):
just all of my once like this here we go. Okay,
there's no one hold on, I said. I really enjoyed that.
Yeah that was And if you were curious, that was
Joby Jo Bob by the Gypsy Kings. Okay, that's a

(25:51):
go toed track. Oh shout out to the k Ones.
Also wasn't a day.

Speaker 2 (25:56):
So anyway, right now, the playbook of we must make
this peaceful city, I guess, appear to be some kind
of hellhole in order to justify, you know, light martial
law across the land that's happening now in Washington, d C. Fortunately, unfortunately,
like with LA, it was like it's a war zone
and we are here is the two pictures of the

(26:17):
way moo cars on fire to prove it, and then
you have people to do it again, right, and you
have people. You have pundits going on TV to make
up stories about how they saw a fucking MS thirteen
fentanyl baptism take place at Universal Studios.

Speaker 3 (26:34):
So I can't go there.

Speaker 2 (26:36):
It was inside dominion, it was crazy. We can't go
Nintendo World. They just got fiends bent over like folded the.

Speaker 1 (26:44):
Child Luigi and Nintendo World.

Speaker 3 (26:47):
I saw Luigi MANZIONI was radicalized in the Nintendo World.
We saw it. We see, we know, we know.

Speaker 2 (26:57):
That's why we must federalize Universal stud Hollywood. That's fentanyl.
Let me try it, Okay, cinnamon and sugar.

Speaker 3 (27:06):
I was wrong. I was wrong about that.

Speaker 1 (27:08):
I will try every single other one, but let me.

Speaker 2 (27:10):
Get a taste of that one. Such a weird scam.

Speaker 3 (27:13):
That's like such a weird me as a cop. That's
someone's dad.

Speaker 2 (27:19):
Who's a DEA agent who goes. Let me just test
that really quick. Let me see if this is these
what are these drugs?

Speaker 3 (27:25):
Okay, that diabetes you have to cop Yeah. So anyway,
d C is now in the same in the midst
of their smear campaign. Just before I start, we've all
been to d C. I fucking love Washington, d C.
D C.

Speaker 1 (27:47):
That taught me about the pigeon that saved two hundred
people during World War Two and also keeps getting misgendered.
She's a queen.

Speaker 5 (27:55):
Okay, yeah, queen, we love pigeons. Shout out to forty
Thieves the rap group where that's no pigeons as a
misogynist reply to TLC's no scrubs, WHOA, Yeah, yeah I was.

Speaker 4 (28:08):
I was.

Speaker 3 (28:09):
I was on the wrong side of history on that.
When I did have my.

Speaker 1 (28:11):
Holes, I was thinking, no scrub scrubs on the playground.
I was on those like you know those metal bars
where you could just they just had them in the
playground and you yeah, yeah, you went around them. I
was just like, no know, just spinning on top.

Speaker 2 (28:24):
The way it starts off is a pigeon is a
girl who'd be walking by my rim dark blue brand
who sparked to five hurt.

Speaker 3 (28:31):
Her feet hurt, so she knows she won't to ry,
but she fronted like she can't say a what uh oh,
look that's not wait.

Speaker 1 (28:39):
That actually does sound fun though, that's what it was.

Speaker 3 (28:42):
Oh, y'all, chicks ain't getting not a uh oh. And
then it starts getting really problematic after that part. Yeah yeah, I.

Speaker 1 (28:49):
Want I want the kids Bob version, so I can
still enjoy it.

Speaker 2 (28:52):
Oh you're downstairs, ain't worth a ramatta?

Speaker 3 (28:55):
Uh oh, I think that would be the kids Bob.

Speaker 2 (28:57):
Look again, it was nineteen ninety nine.

Speaker 3 (29:00):
I didn't know. I was fourteen years old, and I
was I was. I hated women.

Speaker 1 (29:04):
I was fourteen years old. I thought ohen were bad.

Speaker 3 (29:06):
I still do.

Speaker 5 (29:09):
First of all, exactly because you know these females, what
they do out here? No, these fore males. So anyway,
DC now has to be the focus of a total
smear campaign.

Speaker 2 (29:24):
Pundits are doing shit like the weed smell. There's so
much weeds. We talked about this yesterday's fucking weed smell,
which is like there's people of color.

Speaker 1 (29:32):
Around and they're sad that I feel safer when I
smell weed.

Speaker 3 (29:35):
I'm like, oh oh yeah, I'm like yeah, I'm like,
these people aren't calling the cops for nothing over here.
They're not calling them at all because they don't trust me.
We don't trust them. That's why. Yeah, I think it
feels more like home more than so.

Speaker 1 (29:48):
I hate cops.

Speaker 3 (29:49):
There you go. That's the only reason though. They're like
trying to catch me.

Speaker 1 (29:53):
Everything else they're doing.

Speaker 2 (29:54):
Yeah, if they just focus on something other than like
serial arsonists.

Speaker 3 (29:59):
As Usher said, what a bird? You know us right Friday?

Speaker 2 (30:05):
All it's Friday and we've lost our minds. But again,
this is just like they're they're trying to act like
this is a city that no one in their right
mind would visit.

Speaker 1 (30:15):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (30:15):
And you know, to be fair, sure all crimes, All
cities have crime, but like the way the most effective
ways to address crime that you know, experts talk about
all the time, which is like you know, maybe less
police presence, more investment in social services, wages, affordable yeah,
free child anyway, that's always ignored in favor of we

(30:36):
need more goon squad on the street.

Speaker 3 (30:38):
What's their record with crime? Bad? But let's keep doing it.

Speaker 1 (30:41):
Oh, I think it's pretty good because because they do
create a lot of it. So that's like pretty quick
they have like a high crime.

Speaker 3 (30:48):
Can we stop with the humble brags about your felonious record,
like thank you I clipped yesterday of some of the
guys walking through Georgetown, like the militarized the town Yeah,
which is like townhouses that are made brick, cop shops.

(31:10):
Let's about it, Like they're so fucking bored and you know,
and I'm sure even those racists they want to be
hassling like people of color, not people in Patagonia fleece
vests with boat shoes on. That's all you're going to
get people of color.

Speaker 1 (31:24):
We need to start dressing like white people. Okay, we
need to start.

Speaker 3 (31:29):
I thought about that the other start for them by them. Okay,
fit Bit, we need cameo. I mean, if you were
a fit Bit, they'd be like, yeah, that person's there.
They're white.

Speaker 1 (31:49):
You try to count your steps and you're not running.

Speaker 3 (31:52):
That's how I feel safe.

Speaker 2 (31:53):
Yeah, I put a Fitbit on with Apple Watch yep, and.

Speaker 3 (31:58):
I smile real big for him.

Speaker 5 (32:00):
Uh So, Anyway, some of the worst offenders this week
for in terms of like making stuff up about how
unsafe DC is. First up is Benny Johnson, just one
of these fucking clowns on the right. No need to
really get into his You can assume all the worst
about this guy. Here's him just making shit up about
a crime I've never even fucking hurt.

Speaker 2 (32:22):
Just try and follow this. This is where he's talking about,
like he goes on this sort of like monologue about
ranting about how like they're like DC is a hell
hole and this is why because of just like the
Western civilization is at stake, and He's like, and don't
believe the bullshit you hear from people saying that, Oh,
like it's actually not that bad. This is This is

(32:43):
how he quantitily justifies this by giving you an anecdote
about how his own family.

Speaker 3 (32:47):
Was at risk in Washington, DC.

Speaker 7 (32:49):
Don't believe the bullshit that you hear online from some reporters.
Oh crimes down in DC. Well, my infant nearly died
in a drug fire after mass shootings. So no, DC
is not safe. And I can tell you this as

(33:10):
a matter of fact. It is one of the worst
most racist narco states and welfare states imaginable, in that
that neighborhood that I would walk every single day, racial
epithets were screamed at us, rocks were thrown at us
because we were white people.

Speaker 6 (33:26):
This is a this city.

Speaker 3 (33:29):
Up.

Speaker 1 (33:29):
Did you hear If I heard somebody going get these
crackers out of here, I'd be like, this is like
a nice place to settle down. But also I did
I just want to say I didn't start the infant fire.
But also like, why these Republicans keep admitting their bad
Why did you say my infant almost did.

Speaker 3 (33:49):
You leave it alone?

Speaker 1 (33:51):
You leave the alone?

Speaker 3 (33:53):
Let me let me just run this back again from
some reporters.

Speaker 1 (33:57):
Oh, crimes down, Okay, this is crime down.

Speaker 3 (34:03):
Yeah, this is again. I'm I'm not a sociologist or
legal scholar, so I don't know what exactly he's saying here,
but what I just have to run this backs.

Speaker 6 (34:13):
Down in DC.

Speaker 7 (34:14):
Well, my infant nearly died in a drug fire after
mass shootings.

Speaker 3 (34:25):
It's just be associating problems.

Speaker 2 (34:27):
Hold on a drug fire after mass shootings.

Speaker 1 (35:04):
Drake Kendrick ban I'm sorry, I didn't mean I laughed
every time he said he says drug fire, and I
didn't mean t because I know drug fires are real,
but the way he said it, it's like.

Speaker 3 (35:16):
I its ship my intant.

Speaker 1 (35:22):
I'm sorry. This is gonna be my favorite piece of
the media.

Speaker 2 (35:28):
Nearly died in a drug fire after mass shooting.

Speaker 1 (35:34):
Did somebody like shoot at what were they shooting at?
Cocaine or something?

Speaker 3 (35:42):
He lives?

Speaker 2 (35:43):
Does he live in a trap house with a meth
lab in it? So someone came to to to rob
the trap house and then the mass shooting caused a
fire in the drug lab somewhere.

Speaker 3 (35:54):
But that's where you live?

Speaker 4 (35:56):
Or what?

Speaker 1 (35:59):
What is the area code of DC or the the
zip code? But two, I was trying to do a
seventeen thirty eight.

Speaker 3 (36:12):
Whatever. Yeah, so anyway you heard it with the Coco,
I'm in love with the Coco. My child, my infant
nearly died in a drug fire after mass shooting. Spent
andole it does laughing way the way he describes it,

(36:33):
it sounds like he threw his infant over his shoulder
as he fled taking care of the kid. Like why
didn't he almost die too?

Speaker 1 (36:42):
I don't know, Oh my god, on your kid doing
the Droygier kid cutting the drugs in the trap house,
I don't know. Was it a drug prodigest?

Speaker 2 (36:52):
Well, that's why we were button naked, because when we're
bagging up, they don't trust us. That's why I have
to be button naked. When we're bagging up so that
way we can't steal anything, okay, and.

Speaker 3 (37:02):
Change his dip.

Speaker 2 (37:04):
Yeah, that's why he's not potty.

Speaker 3 (37:06):
Try what's that powder in your butt?

Speaker 1 (37:08):
Huh?

Speaker 3 (37:08):
What are you doing? Well? Me and my child are
constantly bagging up cocaine, Like what are you anyway? So
you almost died in a fucking drug fire mass shootings? Again,
this is so stupid, But this audiences nothing. It's because
it's nonsensible.

Speaker 2 (37:27):
It sounds like some ship, like even a comedic writer
would have trouble coming up with something so absurd that it.

Speaker 3 (37:33):
Rises to this.

Speaker 1 (37:34):
Definitely, Yeah, that phrase definitely sounds like something on Twitter
that would go viral, like yeah, yeah, like I don't know,
nothing is coming to mind, but you know how like
the therapist was like I'm doing or the lady was
like I'm doing emotional labor for my son, or like
the disabled to jobby woman or whatever like that thing
that went by, like all of those random things put together.

Speaker 3 (37:58):
Yeah like that, But it caught me.

Speaker 1 (38:01):
So off guard to hear him say it so seriously.

Speaker 5 (38:04):
Well, you know, you guys on the left are so heartless.
You just I can't believe you're laughing after hearing that
Benny Johnson's infant almost died in a drug fire after
mass shootings.

Speaker 3 (38:13):
Okay, so let's.

Speaker 1 (38:15):
Move on, because on my birthday, can you just text
me that instead of Happy Birthday?

Speaker 3 (38:23):
I feel like I just need to make that like
a draft on the fucking keyboard. Oh my god. Yeah yeah,
Wait one more time.

Speaker 6 (38:30):
In a drug fire after mass shootings, you have to
add the.

Speaker 2 (38:36):
Infant in the It is it almost like it almost
sounds like he's at like a tap us restaurant of
like urban crime, and it's like we're gonna start off
your infant.

Speaker 3 (38:46):
Your infant will almost take from a drug fire, but
we'll do that after the mass shootings. That works? Is that?

Speaker 2 (38:55):
Or do you want that to come at the same
time as the drug fire or we'll have it after
the masso.

Speaker 6 (38:58):
My infant nearly does uh huh in a drug file
after mass shooting uh huh uh huh.

Speaker 3 (39:09):
Because because of because of the W N B A.

Speaker 6 (39:19):
D.

Speaker 2 (39:19):
I'm sorry, I haven't laughed like this really long.

Speaker 1 (39:26):
It feels good.

Speaker 3 (39:26):
It feels good. I get When I saw it too,
I was like, this is going in the show because
this is so I feel and this it's grim make
it my ringer. We can only laugh because on the
other side of it being so fucked up that this
is being used as a justification for militarized police and
just steralized police in DC.

Speaker 1 (39:48):
But holy ship, people throwing rocks at him and college
because he's.

Speaker 3 (39:53):
You're describing what happened to black people. Okay, that's what
you're You're just trying to do a no reverse reversal.

Speaker 1 (40:02):
And how come we've never heard of this happening.

Speaker 3 (40:06):
To you before. That's wild because I see so many
videos on the internet of that happened to people of color,
but yet I can't even know. Yeah, and I love
a white victimhood is such a hot commodity in this country.
I can't ran into.

Speaker 1 (40:20):
Of teams of color and they like he would roasting
him his outfit. Yeah, they're literally they're literally just like,
why did you leave your infant.

Speaker 3 (40:30):
In that fire?

Speaker 4 (40:31):
Bitch?

Speaker 3 (40:33):
They're they're like, oh my god, you're such a terrible,
terrible father. Why did you after a mass shooting just
like your baby in that mask that drug fire? I
can't believe they're like they're saying racial slurs to me.

Speaker 1 (40:44):
It's so crazy.

Speaker 3 (40:45):
Anyway, thank you for that. The other person is Victor
just said he was a guy eating beans during cars
to the famous Yeah no, but he's like yeah, yeah,
yeah yeah.

Speaker 2 (41:02):
So anyway, Mark Wayne Mullen, if we remember, he's the
fake tough guy who will pretend to fight a union
boss but actually not really he's actually a shook.

Speaker 3 (41:12):
Man Oklahoma Senator. Yeah, yeah, he says. The weed smell.

Speaker 2 (41:16):
Also, the wheat smell is out of control in Washington, DC.
Fun fact, Oklahoma has the most weed stores per capita
in the United States, more than over out here in Weedifornia.
Y'all got more weed stores per one hundred thousand people
in Oklahoma than any fucking place in the country.

Speaker 3 (41:36):
So tell me more about the weed smell.

Speaker 1 (41:38):
Well, the children got to work somewhere, you know.

Speaker 3 (41:41):
Yeah, we need to use kids to have jobs. Someone's
gotta trim this flower and make sure it's cured. Come
on now.

Speaker 1 (41:48):
But anyway, Fenny Johnson's infant again, He's like, fuck, I
got caught again.

Speaker 3 (41:53):
Yeah, could you imagine I played the cliff of Mark
Mark Wayne one and goes my infant nearly died, yeah,
in a drug fire after a mass baptist or mask shooting.
After a Sooner's football game where they hot box that
covered wagon that's part of the entry thing and they

(42:14):
almost crashed it into my infant, who I left right there,
right there on the fifty yard line.

Speaker 1 (42:20):
Talking about these mass pactists they need to be, they
need to be, they need to be terrifying.

Speaker 2 (42:27):
So here's how God this clip just pales and fu
comparison the website Benny Johnson was.

Speaker 3 (42:32):
So that was So that's on me.

Speaker 2 (42:35):
I should have I should have closed with that. But
here's this is Mark Wayne Mullen just lying straight up
about the state of safety in uh in d C.
And that carjack just again putting out just false information
about carjackings. But then say, and that's why I don't
wear a seat belt, because that's how tough I am.
I'm very scared in DC to wear my seat belt

(42:56):
because of the car jackets.

Speaker 4 (42:58):
And by the way, I'm not joking when I say this.
I drive around and Washington, d C. In my jeep,
and yes I do drive myself and I don't buffle up.

Speaker 2 (43:05):
And the reason why I don't buckle up, and.

Speaker 4 (43:07):
People can say whatever they want to, they can raise
their eyebrows at me again is because of carjacking. I
don't want to be stuck in my vehicle when I
need to exit in a hurry, because I got a
seat belt around me and that, and I wear my
seat belt all the time, But in Washington, d C.

Speaker 3 (43:20):
I do not because it is.

Speaker 4 (43:21):
So prevalent of carjacking, and and and I don't want
the same thing happened to me, what's happened to a
lot of people that work.

Speaker 2 (43:28):
First of all, I just can we just can we
just sort of this is something my therapist says that
it is to reality test your fears, you know, like
that that seems like something. Can you can we reality
test this? So in this he says he doesn't wear
a seat belt because a carjacking could happen. So in
this instance, is he just leaving his family the fuck

(43:48):
in the car? The segment he says himself.

Speaker 1 (43:53):
He says he drives himself, not his family. Then he
is driving his own sugar ruin whatever, you know.

Speaker 5 (43:59):
I think he was juxtaposing that with someone. I think
he was mentioning Chuck Schumer someone how they have drivers.

Speaker 2 (44:04):
Yeah, And he's like, I drive my own self.

Speaker 1 (44:07):
I just love the idea of going seventy five on
a highway and just being like they can get me
at any moment. I gotta be you know what I think, uh,
political Republican commentators, I think, you know what, they should
be safe and not wear their seatbelts. I think it's fine.

Speaker 2 (44:24):
I believe that Charles Darwin, do your thing, baby, do
your thing. Okay, Awards, do your thing.

Speaker 6 (44:31):
I know.

Speaker 3 (44:32):
I'm like, Charles Darwin, do your thing.

Speaker 1 (44:34):
Like do your thing, gurly pop, it's.

Speaker 3 (44:37):
A Darwin summer y'all. But again, like, what the fuck
is in this instance he's I don't know, like I
feel like a tough guy. He'd be like, I ain't
letting anybody take my fucking car. But in this instance,
I mean using readily. I need g Jacker is going
to be like, no, bro, I need you out of
the fucking car. They're not going to be like, hurry up, man,

(44:58):
your seatbelt is too too long. They just want the
fucking car. So I don't understand the logic of like
I can't even have my.

Speaker 1 (45:04):
Seat like That's why I also don't wear a booster seat. Okay,
normally I would, I don't. I don't like the idea
of like whatever Republicans are like, you don't like this country,
get out, and then they're like, we need to take
DC back.

Speaker 3 (45:20):
I'm like, bitch, leave, leave.

Speaker 1 (45:22):
If there's an infant fire, mass car jacking.

Speaker 3 (45:26):
Leave please please.

Speaker 1 (45:28):
If you're scared, leave, If you don't like it there.

Speaker 3 (45:30):
Leave, That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (45:32):
Go back to your Oklahoma weed shops or whatever.

Speaker 5 (45:36):
Get out with your fucking booty weeds. I don't know
where y'all, don't know what y'all are doing to it
over at Oklahom anyway. But again, DC a beautiful city.
We got free museums. Really, it's chocolate city.

Speaker 3 (45:48):
It's we got animated. We love it exactly, just waiting
to pop out and show people.

Speaker 2 (45:56):
But again, I think again, if you are a person
who is constantly in a state of fight or flight
around people of color, then yeah, maybe it is terrifying.
But for me, yeah, because that's always the coded language
when they talk about Democrat run cities.

Speaker 3 (46:11):
It's like that there's people of color there. Yeah, because
it sounds like Chicago's next from what Trump's been saying,
and that's just like sitting with black people and a
democratic mayor. But all these right wing leader type guys.
They seem really excited to tell people how afraid they
are of everyone because they can't say they're afraid of
black people, so then they just have to say they're
afraid of everyone in the city. And it almost feels

(46:33):
like a kink thing or something like they need everyone
to know how terrified they are. For I can't understand.
I'm scared of you, Mark Wayne Mullen. I saw those
pictures of you on January sixth, hiding behind the chair
like you're like, ah, okay, not a tough guy. You're
not a tough guy, and that's okay, and that's okay.
That shit's frightening, you know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (46:53):
But don't don't do your selective shook boy act just
to malign good cities like DC or Chicago. And yeah,
I think specifically he really has it out for cities
with black mayors.

Speaker 1 (47:03):
No, I say, let's go further.

Speaker 3 (47:05):
Let's go further.

Speaker 1 (47:06):
Let's go further. Let's do reverse sundown towns. Yeah, let's
say white people are not allowed in DC.

Speaker 3 (47:13):
You know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (47:14):
We got, we got the sundowntowns in the South. Let's
do a reverse. Let's do a reversal everybody's talking about
race wars, and the race wars are just like white people,
you know, reverse, and the race wars are just like
white people being like I'm scared of black people and
now I'm gonna terrorize them. And that's like the extent

(47:35):
of the Like nobody is picking.

Speaker 2 (47:37):
Up arms against you, Like that community in Arkansas where
they're like it's a white's only community and they've got
they've turned it into their own little like m Night
Shyamalan movie.

Speaker 1 (47:47):
Where they're like and it's just us, Oh my god,
they're gonna be so inbred.

Speaker 3 (47:54):
Already, Like you're also with like white congressmen, especially being
like DC's taro. DC's terrible. It's a cell phone, Like
Congress runs d C right like you are doing a
bad job.

Speaker 1 (48:07):
Did you think you were gonna work hybrid remote? Like
what did you think was gonna happen? You ran for
the fucking position, Like maybe when I get there, they'll
like change it.

Speaker 2 (48:17):
It's all bullshit.

Speaker 5 (48:18):
It's like I don't know, man. Like the thing that's
most terrifying to me about d C is how how
much people jog there. I can't believe even our people
are so fit, Like who do you think you are
just jogging and ship everywhere?

Speaker 1 (48:33):
Maybe, but like throwing stones like they're trying to get fit,
and it hurts my feelings. Maybe that's why metaphorical stones,
you know, could be.

Speaker 3 (48:43):
Could be? All right, God, just you know, we got
a lot of mileage out of that.

Speaker 2 (48:47):
Benny Johnson, play it again.

Speaker 3 (48:53):
I made it.

Speaker 1 (48:54):
It's just direct base.

Speaker 3 (48:58):
Baby, if you're such a real gold to break machine
of a drug fire from the mass shootings about it.

Speaker 2 (49:07):
It's like a fucking Looney Tunes video, a ship like baby,
like a drug fire after the mass shooting.

Speaker 3 (49:13):
Here we go one more time for the people in
the back.

Speaker 7 (49:15):
My infant nearly died in a drug fire after mass shooting.

Speaker 1 (49:26):
Every beat of that, it's perfect.

Speaker 3 (49:27):
It's so good.

Speaker 1 (49:29):
That's gonna be my wedding vows. That's gonna be my infant.
I believe.

Speaker 3 (49:37):
I believe the bride has prepared her vows. Yes, thank you, babe,
hold my hands, hold my hands, look me in. My
infant nearly died.

Speaker 2 (49:52):
In a drug fire. Oh my god, after mass shootings.

Speaker 3 (49:56):
That was beautiful.

Speaker 1 (49:57):
Babe, kiss me.

Speaker 3 (49:58):
Are you gonna say I love you or anything? That's it.
That's it.

Speaker 1 (50:02):
That's it if he doesn't understand why those are gonna
be my vouse, he doesn't deserve me.

Speaker 3 (50:07):
He wasn't man enough for me.

Speaker 2 (50:09):
All right, let's take a quick break and we'll be
right back.

Speaker 5 (50:23):
And we're back, and just before we go, I want
to check in with just this new thing McDonald's just
trying to pull on their customers. Aside from the terribly
fucking high prices that are just absurd at this point,
they're trying to get the fucking vibes back from the
Grimace shake. Okay, the thing that we canonically said was
Grimace has come that was making people turn into zombies

(50:45):
and they were losing their minds on TikTok.

Speaker 3 (50:47):
They're like, what if we can get like some kind
of new viral fun thing going for the kids. And
they've got a new milkshakeout with an adult happy meal
around this thing called McDonald Land Fantasy World of Clowns
and talking burgers and fucking Grimace and whatever the fuck
he is again. So this was like this was something

(51:09):
that was part of like the like McDonald's company history,
but they say it's been gone for twenty years and
now it's back.

Speaker 1 (51:18):
Here's the thing, though, bring back the fucking playplaces like again,
yeah exactly, do.

Speaker 3 (51:25):
You imagine in this era of like bacterial infections, like
what a fucking.

Speaker 1 (51:29):
Everyone's getting COVID at McDonald's.

Speaker 3 (51:31):
That's part of that happy meal. Everyone's gonna get hand
foot and bitch handfoot in mouth.

Speaker 2 (51:39):
So now they've got this thing, the McDonald Land milkshake,
which looks like absolute shit. Have you seen, I guess
looking at this picture here of it, check it out
right here.

Speaker 5 (51:49):
It's like this fucking unicorn esque thing with like a
blue thing with pink whipped topping on top. That's in
the advertising, and then in practice people are bringing home
this shit that looks like the inside of a zombis asshole.

Speaker 1 (52:06):
It looks like a la Boo boo took a shit.

Speaker 3 (52:09):
Yeah exactly, that looked like a la boo boo took
a shit like a boo boo boo boo. You know
what I mean? Uh huh, Let doo dooo, Let do doo.

Speaker 2 (52:16):
And the other thing is in some places they're charging
people for like it's like a ten piece McNugget meal
with a quarter or a quarter pounder kind of meal
with this fucking shake twenty four dollars.

Speaker 1 (52:29):
They did have to murder a unicorn to make that shake.

Speaker 2 (52:33):
And around the average because there's people on Reddit they're like,
they're like reporting what the prices are in their places.

Speaker 3 (52:38):
The highest so far has been twenty four. Others are
saying it's around nineteen and fifteen dollars for this monstrosity.
And on top of it, they're promoting it with a
fucking VR like McDonald land metaverse thing for people to
just like fuck around it. It looks like shit, and
I'm like, how the fuck are these people so late
to the game that they have no idea that the

(53:00):
metaverse is like beyond fucked garbage nonsense.

Speaker 1 (53:03):
In ten years, they're gonna be like McDonald's crypto, get
your crypto, goin, get.

Speaker 3 (53:10):
Your board, a happy meal here, You're gonna fucking love it.
But it is seas at Mickey D's.

Speaker 5 (53:16):
Here's the fun part though, This whole McDonald land thing,
as our writer Jam points out and found like this
really great video on the Food Theorist's YouTube channel, McDonald
land is just like this bullshit thing that McDonald's came
up with in a pretty shady way. So it goes
back to back when Ray Kroc was trying to get
a McDonald's into Disneyland when it first opened.

Speaker 3 (53:37):
He's like, we need to get in the motherfucking Disneyland.

Speaker 2 (53:40):
He even wrote a letter to Walt Disney being like,
hey man, we served in the KKK together.

Speaker 3 (53:45):
I'm sorry.

Speaker 2 (53:46):
No, he said, we served in World War One as
ambulance drivers together. And apparently Walt Disney was just like, sorry,
fam that, I've got bigger things going on.

Speaker 3 (53:56):
So Croc was.

Speaker 2 (53:58):
Thinking of starting his own theme park out of spite
called McDonald Land, and realized there was no way he
could compete with Walt Disney, so started.

Speaker 1 (54:09):
To take Granmas.

Speaker 3 (54:10):
Wasn't allowed to be around kids. No, that incident exactly.

Speaker 2 (54:14):
Exactly, and then he had to change his name and
move out of state and do.

Speaker 3 (54:17):
All that and now and I guess now it's fine.

Speaker 5 (54:19):
Yeah, but yeah, it turned into like a more of
an effort to just sort of like franchise like little
tiny parks around the country. So the funny thing too,
is like the McDonald Lane characters were actually just straight
up stolen from the hr puffin Stuff universe, the very
famous puppet oh my god. So like if you look

(54:39):
at these two pictures of like the McDonald land characters
and then HR puffin Stuff.

Speaker 2 (54:44):
You're like, oh, on, these motherfuckers look similar. And that's
because the ad agency that created McDonald land had worked first.
They sort of like felt out the creators of HR
puffin Stuff, Sid and Marty Croft and like, hey man,
we got this thing going on with like McDonald's, think
would be a really cool campaign and maybe we collaborate.
And then suddenly the ad agency told the Crofts to like, actually,

(55:05):
the campaign has been canceled.

Speaker 3 (55:07):
We need no further contact with you. But in actuality,
the agency had already won the bid from McDonald's for
McDonald Land, and then they just hired a bunch of
former Croft employees behind their backs to basically create a
copy of HR puff and Stuff for McDonald's. Obviously, that
didn't do well in court, and the Croft sued or
the Croft sued McDonald's and they won over a million

(55:29):
dollars in nineteen seventy seven, which I feel like, with inflation,
is probably like three trillion dollars in today's money.

Speaker 1 (55:34):
Yeah, that sounds about right.

Speaker 3 (55:36):
Yeah, it has to be. Is the whole history of
McDonald's just idea theft? Like Ray cracks stealing McDonald's from
the McDonald's and like, I feel like next year McDonald's
gonna put out a whopperd like it's a ling, and
then they'll put out a frosty like like it's just
like we have the meats. Yeah yeah, Ving Raims He's like, sorry,

(55:58):
the check cleared for mcdone. They've been had the meats. Oh,
they've been had the meats.

Speaker 5 (56:06):
Okay, So anyway, this is where they are at now,
And yeah, I think it really does. It does track
that I feel like with every great American company, every
great American brand is just a series of intellectual thefts.

Speaker 3 (56:20):
Yeah, exactly. Shout out that band, Fevery Corporation, great band,
great time.

Speaker 1 (56:24):
I say a word, You're like, shout out to this band. Yeah,
I'm just you're like, shout out to us they were great, right,
shout out shout out the rap jazz fusion group US three.
If you remember a Loup that was such a great
track from nineteen ninety two. Anyway, that's going to do

(56:45):
it for us.

Speaker 3 (56:45):
Alex Schmid, thank you so much for joining us on
this honestly legendarily chaotic event episode where we talked again
