Speaker 1 (00:00):
Pee pee peen pe pe pen peen peen peen. Hello
the Internet, and welcome to this episode of mctrendall's truck.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Oh shit, yep, yeah, man backing it up for the
King of America.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
That's right, Well, who was it who did Saudis? The
Saudis made a mobile McDonald's for Big Man.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
There it sucks, I mean, it doesn't suck. Whatever. Yeah,
it's just so it's great to be a person who
gets to manipulate Donald Trump because you don't have to
put zero effort into it.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
No, it's zero thought.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Okay, a lot of money makes Donald's truck and then
someone compliment him on how good his hair looks.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
That's it, swish. Well, his trip seems to be going well.
All of US Americans are proudly watching on as he's
overseas doing us proud by grifting the ship out of
everyone for his personal gain. Oh yeah, and just my king,
my king stays grinding miles. I don't know about yours,
(01:07):
but my king stays grinding. My king is j dllon.
He's dead, so no sorry sorry, but he.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Then was like six hundred billion dollars blah blah blah.
It's like no it's not six it's two hundred and eighty. Dude,
stop just shut up. Like he was talking about a
huge Saudi investment in like, you know, fucking I think
just private sector investments. He's like, they're pledging six hundred
billion dollars and then like it's it's not it's like
not even half that. But go ahead, keep keep the deal.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Anybody money if that entity is willing to help them
wander other way, yeah, yeah, and help them launder their
reputation anyway. Yeah, it's just being shameless and.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Exactly, we're no expense, We'll spare no expense.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
All right. Well, he's also talking about medicaid pharma.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Yeah he he like again, right now, we're in the
we're in the midst of you know, the Republicans trying
to get their fucking tax bill through, which means huge
chunk of Medicaid is going to get absolutely ran over.
And I think part of that is I think he's
also while like that's happening in the news, Trump announced
(02:17):
on fucking truth, like I think a Sunday goes prescription
drug and pharmaceutical prices will be reduced almost immediately by
thirty percent to eighty percent and you're like, oh, that,
but does it have anything to do with everyone appearing
for their lives because medicaid is about to go Yeah,
probably prescription drugs and pharmaceuticals, just so you know, very
(02:39):
different things apparently in his mind. But again he's just
saying it's like an executive order, and many people rightly
are pointing out They're like, I don't pretty sure you
can't whatever if he knew the executive branch can just
like really nearly just start regulating stuff. That's like Congress
that does that, but doesn't matter to him. He's just
(03:01):
gonna claim victory. And even the process for this is
apparently OURFK has to concoct like the actual strategy to
get prices to come down, and he needs that plan
within thirty days. And then if that doesn't work, it's
like it's so unspecific. You're like, and then what and
then what if the companies don't And then wait, I
(03:22):
thought you again, when Joe Biden was talking about people
needed to fucking get their prices under control, you were
calling that socialism, but then this is but you're gonna
just straight up be like, I'm the president, you change
your prices now, it's just all very strange, and he's
like he's grazing up against a larger issue that is like, yeah,
prescription drug costs are way too fucking hot, but can't
(03:43):
fully go to the part of like, and we need
to we need to rethink what the pharmaceutical industry is
or how they make money, or the subsidies they get
because a lot of their development comes from grants that
go into medical research.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
So, but she's not fond of or not helping in
any way.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
That's I think that's more of a bargaining tactic than
anything with the folks that like, if you don't, I
won't give you any money to come up with your
drugs that you sell to us for way too much. Deal.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Yeah, I feel like any Like I've heard people who
are like, maybe he'll like do something right by accident.
Maybe he'll like do something that helps people by accident,
just because he doesn't know what the fuck he's doing.
But he's around too many rich people. He just like
only trusts what rich people tell him, and so the
titans of these industries will not let him do anything
good by accident. He's gonna it'll fuss.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
And he doesn't have a sincere bone in his body
in terms of being generous, so like he won't even
accidentally do it because it's like and what do I get?
They're like, well, no, poor people will be able to
afford healthcare, and you can prolong the lives of the
American citizens.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Right right, But even like chasing approval ratings, I feel
like he's not gonna He's not gonna do it.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
No.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Yeah, Willy nilly is was his official strategy for the
first hundred days. Yes, exactly, Willy Nilly vanilly. Let's see. Uh,
there there's the first image of the new Nicholas Cage
John Madden film. Nicholas Cage is Madden, Christian Dale is
Al Davis. Uh the image looks why, I mean, they
(05:19):
look like those people.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
They didn't.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
First of all, I didn't even know.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
This was a movie.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Like it seems weird to me that we're making a
Madden movie. But when you look at the cast. Is
David O. Russell directing and writing it? Uh? Nicholas, what's
that filming?
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Do you think he'll lose it on them during the filming?
Doesn't he lose it on set?
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Davidrus He lost it when he made iHeart Huckabees. He
lost it on who was it with Lily Tomlin? Lily Tomlin, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
they were great. That one of the most bonkers. I
mean it was he was completely out of his mind.
It would appear right, So David Russell David Russell. John
(06:01):
mulaney is Trip Hawkins, the Electronic arts founder who launched
the perennial Madden video game. So it's gonna like take
it all the way into the future. Catherine Han as
Virginia Madden, Sienna Miller as Carol Davis. I guess the people.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Look as good as the actors playing them. I can't
imagine Sanna Miller, Catherine Han is Virginia Okay, okay, John Madden,
Damn Son. Is this just about like I guess they're
using this as an entry point to talk about the
game that has more young people's attention than people who
are like, wait, Madden's a guy.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Yeah, I don't. I think that must be like a
third act thing. I don't know, because he I mean,
he was a famous football coach for a long time.
He was famous for being like he hosted SNL in
like eighty I think, wow, which is wild. Like, so
he was like a famous you know. I guess he
was like the Belichick of his day, but had a
good personality, so people.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Were scribble, love to scribble on the telestrater.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Oh yeah, and say boom. But yeah, his his whole
like fear of flying thing. I was like, maybe that's
gonna be it, because he was like in some terrible
plane crash or something at some point, but it's mainly
he's like, no, I'm just like kind of claustrophobic, and
some people I knew got into a plane crash. So
I don't know if that how how that becomes. I'm
(07:27):
curious to see what the what the pieces of this
movie are, right, but I'm in. I'm interested. Color me interested.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Okay, Hey, look I love that Nicholas Cage trying to
look like John Madden in the seventies makes him look
like Eric Idyl from Monty Python and.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
For that kind of a puffy idol.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
More people are being detained at US airports now. Hassan
Piker posted on Sunday telling his followers he'd been stopped
by Customs and Border Protection and asked if he supported Hamas.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Oh yeah, you do you materially support Jumas, are you
do just hamas a terrorist organization or a political group?
What are your beliefs? Bah blah blah blah blah. It
was very apparently he was in there for a few
hours as they just kept asking many questions just about
what he thinks of Hamas.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
It sounds like Jesus.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Yeah, but yeah, that seems to be that they're coming
for anybody who doesn't say who says stuff that they
don't like.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
This said. He was talking to them, and I'm like,
you don't, don't talk to the cops, don't talk to them.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
It was an insane situation. It's very obvious that they
knew exactly who I was very obvious that they know
how to navigate the conversation. And it was a really
interesting conversation that took place. Who is this Trump? It
was very cordial. I thought it was strange how cordial
it was.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
That's the point. That's the fucking point. So you go, oh, yeah,
it seems that they seem like on that. Okay, I'll
say some things to them and.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
I just want to get home to watch Monday Night Raw.
Yeah yeah, no you can, yeah, you.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Will keep so you did it right.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
Yeah, yeah, Brendan, it's very like, I mean, look, every
time we've had any kind of civil rights lawyer on
alec Herriictsane is talking about copaganda.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Just that's that's it.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Every time they ask you questions, I don't know, I
don't know, I don't know. I need I need a lawyer. Bro,
I'm not talking. I do not talk to the police.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Yeah, and Jesse Waters, the RFK swimming whole picture fallout
continues with them just being like what clear?
Speaker 2 (09:41):
So this is absolutely I mean, this is such Fox
News logic because that's how you can believe half the
ship you believe. But again, he was swimming in Rock
Creek and DC where they're like, do not swim in here.
If we catch you, it's illegal because it's so laden
with fecal bacteria and E. Colei than no human or animal,
(10:03):
not even your pets. Just stay away. It's not worth it.
There's sewage overflow. Here's Jesse Waters saying it's all good man, Jesse,
would you film would you swim in a sewage filled creak?
That cleek looks clean, it doesn't look like it's filled
with sewage. And I have seen Pete Page actually swim
Miles and miles uh in Esquito in the Hudson River,
(10:27):
which like you can't even see through this, you can
see right through. I think it's fine. Uh huh uh huh.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
So Pete hagg Seth. The first time we met Pete
hagg Seth if I'm not mistaken, wasn't he on a
Fox News show talking about how he doesn't wash his hands.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Ever simes after no after using about him.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Because that would be gay, I think was his He's like.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
That to watch something is like, there's nothing, there's nothing
dirty about what I touched.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Yeah, so that I got some weird ass child too. Yeah.
They seem to not believe in anything that they can't
see aka germ theory.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yah yeah, all of them,
all of them, all of them. It's of course. I
mean I also just like the thing where he's like,
and it's okay because I saw Pete Hegseth in the
Hudson in a speedo.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Yeah, okay, precedent weirdtail.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Yeah, I mean, it's just yeah, because I can't see
the microscopic pathogens, there is no risk.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Also, that creek looked like shit by the way it
does look pretty brown as the.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
And also look at it had that like algae that
feels all slick, like when you're like, yeah, that dude,
we're not doing this. And I and while I get that,
like people have swam in shit water and been okay,
every modern Olympics open swimming event ever swimming. Yeah, that
doesn't mean that people generally don't want to expose themselves
(11:55):
to pathogens. You call me soft dude, and I will,
and you know I will, and you have and you
do rfk Juner, by the way, has recently said I
don't think people should be taking medical advice from me.
That is, if you had a child today, would you vaccinate?
So somebody asked Kennedy, if you had a child today,
(12:18):
would you vaccinate that child for measles? And Kennedy said,
probably for measles. What I would say is my opinions
about vaccines are irrelevant. Oh my god, that's.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
The head of America's health care.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Yeah, I don't want to seem like I am being evasive,
but I don't think people should be taking medical advice
from me, he added, reiterating his stance when pressed further.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Okay, yet, you are the person who sets the agenda
for fucking health care and medical What do.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
You explicitly based on your beliefs?
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Yeah, this fucking the brainworm, the heroine, the rain, the
whale juice, it's all come together to make it just
such a level of confidence we've never seen.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
And personally, I'm a big fan that he used to
do heroin. You know, he's uh, he tried it. You know,
he can speak to it and say, guys, this is
not the way for a healthy day.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Be one of those cool former heroin addicts, like be
a comedian or a jazz saxophonist. Right, try and be
a doctor.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
That's right. Anyways, let's uh, let's take a quick break
and we'll be right back. And we're back.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
We're back, man.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Before we start recording, you were doing your Eric Adams
and it reminded me to go rewatch the video of
him searching a child's bedroom.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Oh right, it's because I think Brian was saying how
they couldn't have lockers in high school because that's where
the kids are putting drugs. And then I was like, oh,
children put their drugs in the locker, and that's you
can find all kinds of things.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Like the video is so incredible, Like it's really like
one of the great comedic videos that just had was
not intentionally funny.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
Disqualifying to be in any kind of leadership role.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
It's disqualifying and also so funny, like just fucking bars.
Every moment of it is. He's like, and then you
feel the you can feel see this, this pillow has
a button on it and I just passed my hands
over it and felt a little something bumpy, and there whila,
(14:37):
and pulls out a handgun that's like a snubnosed pistol
from like a nineteen eighties cop movie thirty eight special
Baby thirty eight thirty eight Special, out of a child's pillow.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
I would put that there.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
That's what they will hide, the pistol, so when they
lay their head at night, they might blow their top
off with an errant trigger release.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Who knows. And when you hear that there's only one rules.
Speaker 4 (14:59):
Yeah less, that's what the.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Fucking boy Eric, Thank you for fucking spitting that truth.
That spit that hydro ghetto ship.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Just like that is how he's going through life, is
just looking at every child as a potential. He also
like pulls out a bag of cocaine that would be
worth like three thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Yeah, modern for cocaine.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
Inside of book. Take this child's birth certificate framed. Now
you put it over, loose bullets come out.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
He's just he's encouraging you to turn your child's bedroom over,
like uh, you know, the mafia searching through someone's house
like in a in a like.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
They're an inmate. Yeah, you know what I mean, they're doing it.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
They're just gonna want to go in the couch cushion
and knife it to make sure there's not any contraband
in there.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
What's he? And now I'm like, here's what's his latest
headline with that? We haven't i mean ever since he
got off. Let's see the New York Times. This is
the headline, Why did Eric Adams have so many cell phones?
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Holly? Perfectly good reasons. Yeah, kept losing, you know, all right?
Uh what else we got? Con? So there's a big
story that I keep seeing about CON cracking down on
red carpet nudity and puffy dresses. They changed their dress
code to uh focus on in accordance with institutional framework
(16:27):
of the event and French law, you'll no longer be
allowed to have nudity or big, big, expressively excessively voluminous
clothing wow, which I don't care. But it's also like
there's a headline on the front page of Drudge that's
(16:49):
like halle Berry like has to cover up after latest
con cover up.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
She's covered up to her neck.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Yeah yeah, and then you go there and it's she
found her. So this is the Variety article found herself
in a bit of a pickle. She opened up about
the last minute switch to Variety. I had an amazing
dress by a Gupta that I cannot wear tonight because
it's too big of a train. So it's just the
excessive voluminosity. And but people are making it sound like
(17:22):
she was trying to go naked on the red carpet.
So this whole story just seems like I don't know
what America has and said, you know how UK papers
have just like that second page where there's nudity on
the tabloids. I feel like this is what our tabloids
have instead, where they're like, well you can imagine if
she was naked though, right.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Yeah exactly, I mean check out this, check out this fucking.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
That'd be crazy, right you think about that?
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Yeah, good for them.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
I heard for them.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Good. Great. I'm just like, because I also looked, I'm like,
do they have a puffy dress thing? And I just
did a like a Google image search for a can
nippuffy gases, and yeah, I get it. Some people are
pulling up in some extra large fucking dresses. But it's
a red carpet. So I'm like, what is your fucking problem?
I like, yeah, isn't this like I guess maybe that's
(18:11):
where they're sort of they're like it's becoming too much
of like a show out.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Too much about the fashion.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
Yeah, yeah, and it needs to be more about the movies.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
But just being like the dresses are too big. I
feel like it was just like somebody who like sat
next to someone in a big dress and like this
was annoying.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
Well, part of me was like, okay, what black actress
wore a big dress? And they're trying to be like
we need to dial this back now, Okay, you had
your little fun Look who.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Was affected immediately? Halle Berry?
Speaker 2 (18:38):
I know that's almost like why are they calling halle
Berry out? Immediately? That dress wasn't even like history onic
like some of these other dresses people are pulling. Well,
this was that dress.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Was what she changed too after having last minute audible
because their previous dress was too voluminous. Whereas Drudge put it,
new con dress code forces halle Berry to cut up
what all right?
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Whatever?
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Fuck you cover up the fact that she almost had
a train on her dress. Anyways, it's it's take news,
take news.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
I mean, I guess the things coming out of France
or French film. They Gerard dip part due. Didn't you
get just get convicted? Yeah if the're just found guilty
of like predatory, I don't like serial assault.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Yeah yeah, real predatory shit.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
All right.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
And finally, uh, the Oklahoma Education system is saying students
must identify twenty twenty election discrepancies. So the students must
quote identified discrepancies in twenty twenty election results by looking
at grafts and other information including the sudden halt, the
sudden halting of ballot counting and select cities and in
(19:48):
key battleground states, the security risks of mail in balloting,
sudden batch dumps, an unforeseen record number of voters, and
the unprecedented contradiction of bell Weather County trends. So they're
basically encoding the big lie into act. The actual education sys.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Right, part of me would feel a little more scared
if I didn't realize how first of all boring, this
like weird version of revision, this history is, you know
where it's like they need to look at graphs and
spot discrete Like what the fuck it's it's more like
cynical when they're like, and the Civil War was fought
over an economic disagreement. That's like so simple and completely
(20:30):
changes how a kid looks at the world. Then being like, okay, kid,
it's time to do our twenty twenty election results graph
analysis and bro get the they're watching Italian brain rot
content on TikTok. They're talking about Bombardillo crocodio right now.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Okay, is that, by the way, I keep seeing that,
Oh yeah, you're that's right, that's right.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
This Italian brain rot ship that all these it's like
it's just it's what three people.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Boom or tum tum tum tum tum.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Yeah, yeah, yeah aha. Twenty twenty election graph analysis.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
Uh huh.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
The Bell Weather Counties we don't even have, like we're
not even teaching civics, so how are they going to
even make sense of stuff? Like, yeah, Bell's County This
doesn't even seem like a thing you would learn in school.
It's not like you like look at voter trends from
recent elections in school and and be like was this
a fair election or it? You know?
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Yeah, and what are they gonna do?
Speaker 2 (21:30):
They're like follow the graph and it's right here at
this moment here where tabulation stop in these bell that
the steal was on. And then what does that do
prepare you for the to be a pole watcher for
the the actual ringed elections that are happening.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
I mean, it's not great. I will say it's not.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
No, no, I'm not saying it's fine. The kids don't
give a shit, but like, it's so like it's the
dumbest version of this I've ever seen.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
It all seems like it seems like it's all happening
because everybody's looking to fight and a new and innovative
way to kiss Donald Trump's ass, you know. And so
that's that's where this is all coming from. How do
I get attention? Like so he says my name, because
that's like going to make my career in shitty conservative
political service.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
I'm just like trying to what a He's like, I
don't under I just don't understand even how they think
this helps. Again, you're right, it's really not about what
these kids are learning. It's just to be like, look
what I did, sir.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Yes, sir, look at that. Stop the steal, indeed, sir.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
Making them dumber for you, sir, yes, sir.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
All right. Those are some of the things that are
trending on this Wednesday, May fourteenth. We are back tomorrow
with a whole last episode of the show. Until then,
be kind to each other, be kind to yourselves, get
your vaccines, whay you still can't get your flu shots,
don't do nothing about white supremacy, and we will talk
to you all tomorrow. Bye bye. The Daily Zeit Guys

gets to manipulate Donald Trump because you don't have to
put zero effort into it.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
No, it's zero thought.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Okay, a lot of money makes Donald's truck and then

Speaker 2 (01:14):
Then was like six hundred billion dollars blah blah blah.
It's like no it's not six it's two hundred and eighty. Dude,
stop just shut up. Like he was talking about a
huge Saudi investment in like, you know, fucking I think
just private sector investments. He's like, they're pledging six hundred
billion dollars and then like it's it's not it's like
not even half that. But go ahead, keep keep the deal.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Anybody money if that entity is willing to help them
wander other way, yeah, yeah, and help them launder their
reputation anyway. Yeah, it's just being shameless and.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Exactly, we're no expense, We'll spare no expense.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
All right. Well, he's also talking about medicaid pharma.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Yeah he he like again, right now, we're in the
we're in the midst of you know, the Republicans trying
to get their fucking tax bill through, which means huge
chunk of Medicaid is going to get absolutely ran over.
And I think part of that is I think he's
also while like that's happening in the news, Trump announced
(02:17):
on fucking truth, like I think a Sunday goes prescription
drug and pharmaceutical prices will be reduced almost immediately by
thirty percent to eighty percent and you're like, oh, that,
but does it have anything to do with everyone appearing
for their lives because medicaid is about to go Yeah,
probably prescription drugs and pharmaceuticals, just so you know, very
(02:39):
different things apparently in his mind. But again he's just
saying it's like an executive order, and many people rightly
are pointing out They're like, I don't pretty sure you
can't whatever if he knew the executive branch can just
like really nearly just start regulating stuff. That's like Congress
that does that, but doesn't matter to him. He's just
(03:01):
gonna claim victory. And even the process for this is
apparently OURFK has to concoct like the actual strategy to
get prices to come down, and he needs that plan
within thirty days. And then if that doesn't work, it's
like it's so unspecific. You're like, and then what and
then what if the companies don't And then wait, I
(03:22):
thought you again, when Joe Biden was talking about people
needed to fucking get their prices under control, you were
calling that socialism, but then this is but you're gonna
just straight up be like, I'm the president, you change
your prices now, it's just all very strange, and he's
like he's grazing up against a larger issue that is like, yeah,
prescription drug costs are way too fucking hot, but can't
(03:43):
fully go to the part of like, and we need
to we need to rethink what the pharmaceutical industry is
or how they make money, or the subsidies they get
because a lot of their development comes from grants that
go into medical research.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
So, but she's not fond of or not helping in
any way.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
That's I think that's more of a bargaining tactic than
anything with the folks that like, if you don't, I
won't give you any money to come up with your
drugs that you sell to us for way too much. Deal.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Yeah, I feel like any Like I've heard people who
are like, maybe he'll like do something right by accident.
Maybe he'll like do something that helps people by accident,
just because he doesn't know what the fuck he's doing.
But he's around too many rich people. He just like
only trusts what rich people tell him, and so the
titans of these industries will not let him do anything
good by accident. He's gonna it'll fuss.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
And he doesn't have a sincere bone in his body
in terms of being generous, so like he won't even
accidentally do it because it's like and what do I get?
They're like, well, no, poor people will be able to
afford healthcare, and you can prolong the lives of the
American citizens.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Right right, But even like chasing approval ratings, I feel
like he's not gonna He's not gonna do it.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
No.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Yeah, Willy nilly is was his official strategy for the
first hundred days. Yes, exactly, Willy Nilly vanilly. Let's see. Uh,
there there's the first image of the new Nicholas Cage
John Madden film. Nicholas Cage is Madden, Christian Dale is
Al Davis. Uh the image looks why, I mean, they
(05:19):
look like those people.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
They didn't.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
First of all, I didn't even know.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
This was a movie.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Like it seems weird to me that we're making a
Madden movie. But when you look at the cast. Is
David O. Russell directing and writing it? Uh? Nicholas, what's
that filming?
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Do you think he'll lose it on them during the filming?
Doesn't he lose it on set?
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Davidrus He lost it when he made iHeart Huckabees. He
lost it on who was it with Lily Tomlin? Lily Tomlin, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
they were great. That one of the most bonkers. I
mean it was he was completely out of his mind.
It would appear right, So David Russell David Russell. John
(06:01):
mulaney is Trip Hawkins, the Electronic arts founder who launched
the perennial Madden video game. So it's gonna like take
it all the way into the future. Catherine Han as
Virginia Madden, Sienna Miller as Carol Davis. I guess the people.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Look as good as the actors playing them. I can't
imagine Sanna Miller, Catherine Han is Virginia Okay, okay, John Madden,
Damn Son. Is this just about like I guess they're
using this as an entry point to talk about the
game that has more young people's attention than people who
are like, wait, Madden's a guy.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Yeah, I don't. I think that must be like a
third act thing. I don't know, because he I mean,
he was a famous football coach for a long time.
He was famous for being like he hosted SNL in
like eighty I think, wow, which is wild. Like, so
he was like a famous you know. I guess he
was like the Belichick of his day, but had a
good personality, so people.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Were scribble, love to scribble on the telestrater.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Oh yeah, and say boom. But yeah, his his whole
like fear of flying thing. I was like, maybe that's
gonna be it, because he was like in some terrible
plane crash or something at some point, but it's mainly
he's like, no, I'm just like kind of claustrophobic, and
some people I knew got into a plane crash. So
I don't know if that how how that becomes. I'm
(07:27):
curious to see what the what the pieces of this
movie are, right, but I'm in. I'm interested. Color me interested.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Okay, Hey, look I love that Nicholas Cage trying to
look like John Madden in the seventies makes him look
like Eric Idyl from Monty Python and.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
For that kind of a puffy idol.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
More people are being detained at US airports now. Hassan
Piker posted on Sunday telling his followers he'd been stopped
by Customs and Border Protection and asked if he supported Hamas.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Oh yeah, you do you materially support Jumas, are you
do just hamas a terrorist organization or a political group?
What are your beliefs? Bah blah blah blah blah. It
was very apparently he was in there for a few
hours as they just kept asking many questions just about
what he thinks of Hamas.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
It sounds like Jesus.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Yeah, but yeah, that seems to be that they're coming
for anybody who doesn't say who says stuff that they
don't like.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
This said. He was talking to them, and I'm like,
you don't, don't talk to the cops, don't talk to them.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
It was an insane situation. It's very obvious that they
knew exactly who I was very obvious that they know
how to navigate the conversation. And it was a really
interesting conversation that took place. Who is this Trump? It
was very cordial. I thought it was strange how cordial
it was.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
That's the point. That's the fucking point. So you go, oh, yeah,
it seems that they seem like on that. Okay, I'll
say some things to them and.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
I just want to get home to watch Monday Night Raw.
Yeah yeah, no you can, yeah, you.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Will keep so you did it right.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
Yeah, yeah, Brendan, it's very like, I mean, look, every
time we've had any kind of civil rights lawyer on
alec Herriictsane is talking about copaganda.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Just that's that's it.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Every time they ask you questions, I don't know, I
don't know, I don't know. I need I need a lawyer. Bro,
I'm not talking. I do not talk to the police.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Yeah, and Jesse Waters, the RFK swimming whole picture fallout
continues with them just being like what clear?
Speaker 2 (09:41):
So this is absolutely I mean, this is such Fox
News logic because that's how you can believe half the
ship you believe. But again, he was swimming in Rock
Creek and DC where they're like, do not swim in here.
If we catch you, it's illegal because it's so laden
with fecal bacteria and E. Colei than no human or animal,
(10:03):
not even your pets. Just stay away. It's not worth it.
There's sewage overflow. Here's Jesse Waters saying it's all good man, Jesse,
would you film would you swim in a sewage filled creak?
That cleek looks clean, it doesn't look like it's filled
with sewage. And I have seen Pete Page actually swim
Miles and miles uh in Esquito in the Hudson River,
(10:27):
which like you can't even see through this, you can
see right through. I think it's fine. Uh huh uh huh.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
So Pete hagg Seth. The first time we met Pete
hagg Seth if I'm not mistaken, wasn't he on a
Fox News show talking about how he doesn't wash his hands.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Ever simes after no after using about him.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Because that would be gay, I think was his He's like.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
That to watch something is like, there's nothing, there's nothing
dirty about what I touched.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Yeah, so that I got some weird ass child too. Yeah.
They seem to not believe in anything that they can't
see aka germ theory.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yah yeah, all of them,
all of them, all of them. It's of course. I
mean I also just like the thing where he's like,
and it's okay because I saw Pete Hegseth in the
Hudson in a speedo.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Yeah, okay, precedent weirdtail.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Yeah, I mean, it's just yeah, because I can't see
the microscopic pathogens, there is no risk.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Also, that creek looked like shit by the way it
does look pretty brown as the.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
And also look at it had that like algae that
feels all slick, like when you're like, yeah, that dude,
we're not doing this. And I and while I get that,
like people have swam in shit water and been okay,
every modern Olympics open swimming event ever swimming. Yeah, that
doesn't mean that people generally don't want to expose themselves
(11:55):
to pathogens. You call me soft dude, and I will,
and you know I will, and you have and you
do rfk Juner, by the way, has recently said I
don't think people should be taking medical advice from me.
That is, if you had a child today, would you vaccinate?
So somebody asked Kennedy, if you had a child today,
(12:18):
would you vaccinate that child for measles? And Kennedy said,
probably for measles. What I would say is my opinions
about vaccines are irrelevant. Oh my god, that's.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
The head of America's health care.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Yeah, I don't want to seem like I am being evasive,
but I don't think people should be taking medical advice
from me, he added, reiterating his stance when pressed further.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Okay, yet, you are the person who sets the agenda
for fucking health care and medical What do.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
You explicitly based on your beliefs?
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Yeah, this fucking the brainworm, the heroine, the rain, the
whale juice, it's all come together to make it just
such a level of confidence we've never seen.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
And personally, I'm a big fan that he used to
do heroin. You know, he's uh, he tried it. You know,
he can speak to it and say, guys, this is
not the way for a healthy day.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Be one of those cool former heroin addicts, like be
a comedian or a jazz saxophonist. Right, try and be
a doctor.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
That's right. Anyways, let's uh, let's take a quick break
and we'll be right back. And we're back.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
We're back, man.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Before we start recording, you were doing your Eric Adams
and it reminded me to go rewatch the video of
him searching a child's bedroom.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Oh right, it's because I think Brian was saying how
they couldn't have lockers in high school because that's where
the kids are putting drugs. And then I was like, oh,
children put their drugs in the locker, and that's you
can find all kinds of things.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Like the video is so incredible, Like it's really like
one of the great comedic videos that just had was
not intentionally funny.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
Disqualifying to be in any kind of leadership role.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
It's disqualifying and also so funny, like just fucking bars.
Every moment of it is. He's like, and then you
feel the you can feel see this, this pillow has
a button on it and I just passed my hands
over it and felt a little something bumpy, and there whila,
(14:37):
and pulls out a handgun that's like a snubnosed pistol
from like a nineteen eighties cop movie thirty eight special
Baby thirty eight thirty eight Special, out of a child's pillow.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
I would put that there.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
That's what they will hide, the pistol, so when they
lay their head at night, they might blow their top
off with an errant trigger release.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Who knows. And when you hear that there's only one rules.
Speaker 4 (14:59):
Yeah less, that's what the.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Fucking boy Eric, Thank you for fucking spitting that truth.
That spit that hydro ghetto ship.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Just like that is how he's going through life, is
just looking at every child as a potential. He also
like pulls out a bag of cocaine that would be
worth like three thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Yeah, modern for cocaine.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
Inside of book. Take this child's birth certificate framed. Now
you put it over, loose bullets come out.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
He's just he's encouraging you to turn your child's bedroom over,
like uh, you know, the mafia searching through someone's house
like in a in a like.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
They're an inmate. Yeah, you know what I mean, they're doing it.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
They're just gonna want to go in the couch cushion
and knife it to make sure there's not any contraband
in there.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
What's he? And now I'm like, here's what's his latest
headline with that? We haven't i mean ever since he
got off. Let's see the New York Times. This is
the headline, Why did Eric Adams have so many cell phones?
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Holly? Perfectly good reasons. Yeah, kept losing, you know, all right?
Uh what else we got? Con? So there's a big
story that I keep seeing about CON cracking down on
red carpet nudity and puffy dresses. They changed their dress
code to uh focus on in accordance with institutional framework
(16:27):
of the event and French law, you'll no longer be
allowed to have nudity or big, big, expressively excessively voluminous
clothing wow, which I don't care. But it's also like
there's a headline on the front page of Drudge that's
(16:49):
like halle Berry like has to cover up after latest
con cover up.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
She's covered up to her neck.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Yeah yeah, and then you go there and it's she
found her. So this is the Variety article found herself
in a bit of a pickle. She opened up about
the last minute switch to Variety. I had an amazing
dress by a Gupta that I cannot wear tonight because
it's too big of a train. So it's just the
excessive voluminosity. And but people are making it sound like
(17:22):
she was trying to go naked on the red carpet.
So this whole story just seems like I don't know
what America has and said, you know how UK papers
have just like that second page where there's nudity on
the tabloids. I feel like this is what our tabloids
have instead, where they're like, well you can imagine if
she was naked though, right.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Yeah exactly, I mean check out this, check out this fucking.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
That'd be crazy, right you think about that?
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Yeah, good for them.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
I heard for them.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Good. Great. I'm just like, because I also looked, I'm like,
do they have a puffy dress thing? And I just
did a like a Google image search for a can
nippuffy gases, and yeah, I get it. Some people are
pulling up in some extra large fucking dresses. But it's
a red carpet. So I'm like, what is your fucking problem?
I like, yeah, isn't this like I guess maybe that's
(18:11):
where they're sort of they're like it's becoming too much
of like a show out.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Too much about the fashion.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
Yeah, yeah, and it needs to be more about the movies.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
But just being like the dresses are too big. I
feel like it was just like somebody who like sat
next to someone in a big dress and like this
was annoying.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
Well, part of me was like, okay, what black actress
wore a big dress? And they're trying to be like
we need to dial this back now, Okay, you had
your little fun Look who.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Was affected immediately? Halle Berry?
Speaker 2 (18:38):
I know that's almost like why are they calling halle
Berry out? Immediately? That dress wasn't even like history onic
like some of these other dresses people are pulling. Well,
this was that dress.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Was what she changed too after having last minute audible
because their previous dress was too voluminous. Whereas Drudge put it,
new con dress code forces halle Berry to cut up
what all right?
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Whatever?
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Fuck you cover up the fact that she almost had
a train on her dress. Anyways, it's it's take news,
take news.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
I mean, I guess the things coming out of France
or French film. They Gerard dip part due. Didn't you
get just get convicted? Yeah if the're just found guilty
of like predatory, I don't like serial assault.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Yeah yeah, real predatory shit.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
All right.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
And finally, uh, the Oklahoma Education system is saying students
must identify twenty twenty election discrepancies. So the students must
quote identified discrepancies in twenty twenty election results by looking
at grafts and other information including the sudden halt, the
sudden halting of ballot counting and select cities and in
(19:48):
key battleground states, the security risks of mail in balloting,
sudden batch dumps, an unforeseen record number of voters, and
the unprecedented contradiction of bell Weather County trends. So they're
basically encoding the big lie into act. The actual education sys.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Right, part of me would feel a little more scared
if I didn't realize how first of all boring, this
like weird version of revision, this history is, you know
where it's like they need to look at graphs and
spot discrete Like what the fuck it's it's more like
cynical when they're like, and the Civil War was fought
over an economic disagreement. That's like so simple and completely
(20:30):
changes how a kid looks at the world. Then being like, okay, kid,
it's time to do our twenty twenty election results graph
analysis and bro get the they're watching Italian brain rot
content on TikTok. They're talking about Bombardillo crocodio right now.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Okay, is that, by the way, I keep seeing that,
Oh yeah, you're that's right, that's right.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
This Italian brain rot ship that all these it's like
it's just it's what three people.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Boom or tum tum tum tum tum.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Yeah, yeah, yeah aha. Twenty twenty election graph analysis.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
Uh huh.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
The Bell Weather Counties we don't even have, like we're
not even teaching civics, so how are they going to
even make sense of stuff? Like, yeah, Bell's County This
doesn't even seem like a thing you would learn in school.
It's not like you like look at voter trends from
recent elections in school and and be like was this
a fair election or it? You know?
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Yeah, and what are they gonna do?
Speaker 2 (21:30):
They're like follow the graph and it's right here at
this moment here where tabulation stop in these bell that
the steal was on. And then what does that do
prepare you for the to be a pole watcher for
the the actual ringed elections that are happening.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
I mean, it's not great. I will say it's not.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
No, no, I'm not saying it's fine. The kids don't
give a shit, but like, it's so like it's the
dumbest version of this I've ever seen.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
It all seems like it seems like it's all happening
because everybody's looking to fight and a new and innovative
way to kiss Donald Trump's ass, you know. And so
that's that's where this is all coming from. How do
I get attention? Like so he says my name, because
that's like going to make my career in shitty conservative
political service.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
I'm just like trying to what a He's like, I
don't under I just don't understand even how they think
this helps. Again, you're right, it's really not about what
these kids are learning. It's just to be like, look
what I did, sir.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Yes, sir, look at that. Stop the steal, indeed, sir.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
Making them dumber for you, sir, yes, sir.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
All right. Those are some of the things that are
trending on this Wednesday, May fourteenth. We are back tomorrow
with a whole last episode of the show. Until then,
be kind to each other, be kind to yourselves, get
your vaccines, whay you still can't get your flu shots,
don't do nothing about white supremacy, and we will talk
to you all tomorrow. Bye bye. The Daily Zeit Guys
