Speaker 1 (00:05):
Why do you blur out?

Speaker 2 (00:06):
Your background doesn't look like you got anything on your walls.

Speaker 3 (00:10):
You're just sticking with that one. I remember one time
we were I remember one time we were recording and
I was like, I got all these books, and Miles
straight up said, yeah, man, but you do look like
you're in an empty room in some kind of serial
killer vibe.

Speaker 1 (00:31):
So you protect you only blur for Daily zeit Geist.
Do you know Miles is gonna come for your ass?

Speaker 3 (00:38):
This came on as an automatic thing on zoom. Let
me unblur.

Speaker 1 (00:43):
Damn man, that's door City back there.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
Oh damn Okay, doors in reception, all right, all right,
Jimmy or go different places? Yeah, got Jim Wallace, Jim
Morrison over here.

Speaker 1 (00:54):
That's still my favorite. I love the rehearsal. I think
it's a monumental achievement in like meta you know, commentary
on the media and all the weird realities fractured reality living.
My favorite part of the show is still when he
goes to in the first episode, he goes to that
guy's house and he has like four doors right next
to each other, and he just goes, Oh, man, it's

(01:16):
door City over here.

Speaker 3 (01:17):
Huh.

Speaker 1 (01:17):
And it's like the joke that he had written ahead
of time. This is this is first season one. That's
season one, episode one. Oh man, it's door city, over
which I love it.

Speaker 3 (01:29):
My new favorite thing to say anytime.

Speaker 1 (01:32):
Anytime you see a bunch of doors, you got right,
what do you got? A clock? You got? What do
you got an extra?

Speaker 3 (01:38):
You got a bunch of outdoor?

Speaker 2 (01:39):
You got a bathroom door? Is that a little bathroom
behind you?

Speaker 3 (01:43):
Hey man, it's a regular bathroom.

Speaker 1 (01:45):
Oh no, it's almost sized bathroom.

Speaker 3 (01:48):
Yeah it's not. It's not a hobbit house bathroom. Yeah no.

Speaker 1 (01:53):
It was just me and high school driving with a
girl for the first time. Because this guy's flexing with
the doors on this okay, true story, I was the
greatest hits.

Speaker 3 (02:03):
I was thinking about you guys before before we started
hanging out today, and I was thinking about the dumbest
sketch comedy I ever wrote.

Speaker 1 (02:13):
Were you thinking about us? And what about that? Thinking
about the dumbest ship that I could possibly imagine.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
Reminded me of the worst ship I ever.

Speaker 1 (02:27):
You guys.

Speaker 3 (02:29):
In the archives, Oh my god, my real laugh. Actually no, no, no, no,
So here's the pitch I I came up with this
idea years ago where I was like, I was still
uh smoking cannabis at the time, and you know we're.

Speaker 2 (02:47):
In the pitch.

Speaker 3 (02:53):
Especially alright, alright, alright, all right, so I was still
cool at that point, and I was like, I was like, you.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
Know, would be funny if there was like a door
to door door salesman.

Speaker 3 (03:08):
And they were like, what what does he doing?

Speaker 1 (03:09):
I was like, you know, he like goes door to
door do he sells the door doors and he's.

Speaker 3 (03:14):
Got the door with him, and it's like, you think
of us.

Speaker 2 (03:19):

that's Daily's guys.

Speaker 4 (12:27):
Right?

Speaker 3 (12:28):
Oh my gosh, you're uc being me so hard man
that I didn't know you had the acumen.

Speaker 1 (12:33):
You didn't know you went to Berkeley. You don't.

Speaker 2 (12:37):
You think I started smoking all that cannabis man that
the hippies.

Speaker 1 (12:43):
Then we're thrilled to have you here. We're going to
get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First,
we're going to tell the listeners a couple of the
things we're talking about today. El Musk in the Epstein Files.
You know that's big news. So well, we'll talk about
that and why that might be the reason that Marjorie
Taylor Green is saying if I die, I did not

(13:06):
kill myself. Over the weekend, and then there there was news.
Donald Trump retweeted a completely made up AI generated video.
I think this is really interesting insight into how he
finds out about the things that he's doing because it

(13:26):
was made up about something that he is doing. It's
it's I mean, there's not much more than that, but
it's it's med beds, which is like a long term
conspiracy that like they're going to create this thing like
the Google. Yeah, oh, don't don't tell me it doesn't exist,

(13:49):
like respawn points like a bad what what's the wanted
is one movie that has like the bed where you
just like go in the Google Yah, like Star Wars
the back to that you go into. Dune has it,
and Dune has it too. Makes people submerged.

Speaker 3 (14:05):
Based on hyperbaric chamber technology.

Speaker 1 (14:08):
Right. So with somebody, yeah, created an a I generated
video of a Fox News segment where a fake AI
Laura Trump was talking about him dropping the first Donald
on all of our asses, and he retweeted it. He
was like, Yo, this is huge. He's like, that's that's right.
I did I did do it.

Speaker 2 (14:28):
You didn't, Donald, That's bullshit.

Speaker 1 (14:32):
So we'll talk about that, We'll talk about why you
shouldn't tape your mouth shut at night. I know this
is going to hit our listenership.

Speaker 3 (14:38):
Hardy Jack Yeah, and.

Speaker 2 (14:41):
Also, yeah, we're gonna have to say Sarah Tooga Springs
face baths don't work either.

Speaker 1 (14:46):
I'm not I have not been forced to. Yeah. I
mean I may be under deposition, but I'm not gonna
come through and say that in any shape or form.

Speaker 3 (14:57):
Wait, wait before we go on, can I ask what
what is a Saratoga face bath?

Speaker 2 (15:01):
Did you see that video that one influencer, the guy
who kept dunking his face into iced like like iced
bottles of Saratoga Springs water.

Speaker 1 (15:09):
He would just oh that guy, Yeah, groutines starting morning
where he dunks his head into a bowl of bottled
water and.

Speaker 3 (15:17):
Somehow as a crew of employees like just hand him.

Speaker 1 (15:22):
It's like he's very thankful. He's very grateful that.

Speaker 2 (15:25):
Oh No, it's like a woman, right, isn't. I feel
like a woman does everything for him too, Like in
my experience, there's one where I he definitely has a
female you know, I mean, bring his lunch.

Speaker 1 (15:37):
Before he even dunks his head into Saratoga spring water,
he does pull some mouth tape off his face, which,
as I've discussed before in my influencer arms race with him,
I've I actually wrapped my entire head in masking tape
like mummy up my whole ship up every night. Yeah,
just to try and you know, come up with a

(15:58):
thing that has not a retrospect caught on as well. Yeah,
it has been really bad for my ability to keep eyebrows.

Speaker 2 (16:04):
I mean, look for me whenever I take hostages. I
just that's why I wass bring ballgags with me.

Speaker 1 (16:08):
So seas, that's why you've bloays got a bunch, and
you're for when I take hostages for freaky sex stuff.
Why are you being so? And that is actually more
acceptable today?

Speaker 3 (16:20):
Oh yeah, okay, better than we were at the TSA
and they were like, Miles, that's dope.

Speaker 1 (16:28):
You have four ball gags on your belt.

Speaker 2 (16:31):
And I point and I open up my my hoodie
and I have a.

Speaker 1 (16:33):
T shirt just for the hostages. Baby, that's what it says.
And they're like, hey, this guy gets it.

Speaker 3 (16:39):
They're like, this guy rules.

Speaker 1 (16:40):
We'll also talk about Saudi Arabia, another attempt at you know,
any kind of comedy washing, and also Madden washing their reputation.
They just bought electronic arts for fifty five bills. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (16:54):
Oh, did you see Mohammed bin Salmon's fucking stats in
the new FIFA game past ninety nine shooting ninety nine dismemberment.

Speaker 1 (17:04):
You know, it's like sick dismember your all that plenty more.
But first, benble and we do like to ask our guest,
what is something from your search history that's revealing about
who you are?

Speaker 3 (17:16):
All right, small bird fall barred. Excuse me, I'm not
a native Norwegian speaker. You guys heard of those.

Speaker 1 (17:23):
Sports we heard? Small you mean?

Speaker 3 (17:28):
All right, thank you?

Speaker 1 (17:30):
Wait what is it?

Speaker 3 (17:34):
It's the northernmost settlement in the world. You know how
stuff kind of sucks around the globe and it's tough
to be alive and everything. Uh, this is the place
that you could just fuck off to. That's where like
the Seed Vault is. Yes, you nailed it. Yes, okay,

(17:55):
it's where the Seat Vault is. It's an archipelago technically
under the control of Norway. And get this, guys, despite
being you know, nominally part of Europe, this area svull
Board will literally let anyone show up and live there.
No eu visa, no residency worries, no ice, just I

(18:22):
mean actual yeah, yeah, it's.

Speaker 1 (18:26):
Sorry, real quick on the pu all right, So.

Speaker 2 (18:31):
Guys, this reminds me of a sketch, the worst sketch
idea I've ever had.

Speaker 1 (18:38):
I'm sorry, go on for anybody.

Speaker 2 (18:40):
There's ice, literally, Okay, I can do it.

Speaker 1 (18:44):
Do they keep the people out ben Yeah, I'm just
assuming they're being flooded with people seeking asylum there.

Speaker 3 (18:53):
You know, it's interesting because you have to get up
there first. There are kind of like a similar to
the US opinion or policy for Cuba during the Cold War,
where they said, hey, if you can make it to
the shore of the US from Cuba, you're fucking in.

(19:15):
And small Bard is so inconvenient to get to and
so inhospitable to humans that they essentially said, look, if
you want to get over there and hang out, that's fine. Uh,
you should probably bring a rifle. You can rent a rifle.

Speaker 1 (19:37):
I got plenty of Yeah.

Speaker 3 (19:40):
Because of the Polar Bears. The Polar Bears are a
big deal. They kind of run the game there. Uh,
there's a sketchy nearby.

Speaker 1 (19:47):
Run. The Polar Bears run the game.

Speaker 3 (19:49):
They're in charge.

Speaker 1 (19:50):
They stamp passport.

Speaker 3 (19:51):
When they stamp your passport, they give you a Coca
Cola Classic.

Speaker 1 (19:58):
Given Coca Cola Classic. H Polar Bear Society vibes I
don't know.

Speaker 3 (20:03):
I I'm fascinated with this because it seems anomalous, right
that there would be a place so so inhospitable that
the world agreed. Hey, dude, if you can fucking make
it and have.

Speaker 2 (20:19):
Something wrong with you enough to want to come here,
and then I guess, yeah, fine, right.

Speaker 1 (20:25):
Yeah, their migration policy is yeah, be my guest exactly.
You just want to see you try.

Speaker 3 (20:36):
Here's why they're not getting flooded. To your earlier question.

Speaker 1 (20:39):
Because of all the things you just mentioned, the polar
bear has kind of covered it.

Speaker 3 (20:45):
That is a turnoff for some people.

Speaker 1 (20:48):
Turn off for others.

Speaker 3 (20:49):
Yeah, mainly people who want to die due to polar
bear experience. They're super into that.

Speaker 2 (20:57):
I'm trying to do the follow up to Grizzly Man.

Speaker 1 (20:59):
Polar Man.

Speaker 3 (21:00):
There, it is, there, it is. I think you get
fifteen minutes out outside of the settlement there, so just
start the GoPro immediately. The issue is that if you
live there, like let's say we make it over there.

Speaker 1 (21:17):
Everybody skating the whole way, by the way, Yeah, on
that method of getting.

Speaker 3 (21:21):
Jack is ice skating the whole way miles. You and
I are probably just taking a flight.

Speaker 1 (21:27):
Yeah, yeah, I would do that. Yeah, okay, easier, fine, all.

Speaker 3 (21:30):
Right, Okay, we'll meet you there. And the issue, the
reason there's not a ton of people living there now
is due to Norway's stance, and they said, you can
live there as long as you want, but it does
not count towards your residency in the Sengan Zone nor
in the EU.

Speaker 1 (21:51):
Oh so you're truly just like, yeah, man, hang out there,
but only the exactly until you can no longer hang
out there. I'm seeing here, Ben that the rifle thing
was not a like you you need a rifle or
a flare gun. Yeah, and that is literally because of
polar Like they're like, you are not legally allowed. That's

(22:13):
like driving without car insurance. Essentially, it's like you're walking
in this area without a rifle or a flare gun.
It's so inadvisable. Sounds like living in Los Angeles? Am
I right? War zone?

Speaker 3 (22:27):
Am I right?

Speaker 1 (22:28):
Top? I'm just picturing you like land there and you're like,
why why have I seen like twenty flares go off
party here? Huh? Because by polar bears like all over
the horizon.

Speaker 3 (22:43):
Can you imagine us as American knuckleheads seeing those flares?
Like you're describing and going, you guys party here, and
someone leans in seriously with like a deadpan voice, and
they go, he's mainly the bears.

Speaker 2 (22:57):
They're polar Bear all you Scandinavians. You really have no
sense of fucking humor.

Speaker 1 (23:03):
Guys. I knew it was the polar Bears. They don't
also have rushing accents.

Speaker 2 (23:08):
I'm surprised you guys got mad because I blipped a
polar bear with a homemade bomb. I thought I thought
we had to protect right now. Now I'm going too
far you guys.

Speaker 1 (23:16):
I can't wait.

Speaker 3 (23:17):
Anyway, I thought you guys were about that life. Yeah, anyway,
it's small Bart recommendation. If you gotta scoot scoot.

Speaker 1 (23:26):
Yeah, yeah, cool means small Bart. Oh no, it actually
like white means tall Bart. Actually tall Bart. All right,
what is something you think is underrated? Bowling blimps, finish
my question?

Speaker 3 (23:44):
Now you are I'm heated up?

Speaker 2 (23:46):
Yeah, Jack, okay, go on?

Speaker 3 (23:51):
Why okay? All right? Let me sell you a door
so airships are better than and plans for the environment.

Speaker 1 (24:02):
There, dolim salesman rolls up them. It's not a car.
It's not a car, brothers door, It's a door, Kate
thought it was a blimp.

Speaker 2 (24:12):
Nope, yeah, because door on my door selling originals.

Speaker 3 (24:17):
There we go. Now, I like the way we're spinning
this out. Okay, so Hindenburg aside, let's get past that
little side.

Speaker 1 (24:26):
But we're going to move past.

Speaker 3 (24:27):
We're just going to bracket the Hindenburg.

Speaker 2 (24:30):
Zeppelin it is. I remember when I found out that
was a real thing. I was like, that's just the
led Zeppelin album cover. That's not a thing that happened.
And then I'm like, where what.

Speaker 1 (24:43):
The fuck is this?

Speaker 2 (24:44):
So okay, anyway, Berg aside, what are there any is
there any modern I think?

Speaker 1 (24:50):
Were you? Were you?

Speaker 3 (24:51):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (24:52):
No?

Speaker 1 (24:52):
Who was on? Was it? Maybe Daniel O'Brien who was
I was talking about? Like how limited the like the dirigible?
Like there are a few dirigibles actually.

Speaker 2 (24:59):
In like yes, like being used around the world right now.

Speaker 3 (25:04):
Very few. This country, the US is home to the
Goodyear blimps, you.

Speaker 1 (25:09):
Know, famed for saying ice cubes of pimp onties. Yeah,
everybody did so much detective work to try and figure
out what the good Day was. They should have just
gone back through Goodyear Blimp history.

Speaker 3 (25:25):
Yeah you can find it, you idiots.

Speaker 1 (25:28):
Why are you doing all this work?

Speaker 3 (25:29):
Is I gang hop on the discord? We need your
help figure this out. We I don't know. I I
am mystified by these because I used to do a
show about vehicles, right, it was called car stuff in
a burst of creativity, and really the the story of
the airship, the dirigible, the Zeppelin, it's kind of a

(25:53):
story about how humanity can't have nice stuff because it's
it's a thing that works so long as people don't
try to shoot it down.

Speaker 1 (26:07):
Mmm?

Speaker 2 (26:07):
Right, you dreams of a rap career? Oh man, you
have to hear it all the time. It's the Zeppelin
of our times. Wait, you think peop were trying to
shoot the Zeppelins down?

Speaker 1 (26:20):
Now? Blimp's down now? Probably not right, I don't know.
They're shooting at fucking drones, aren't they.

Speaker 7 (26:25):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (26:26):
Yeah, I think it's too it's too tempting.

Speaker 1 (26:31):
Is that what it is? What if I could bring
this down? You know what I mean?

Speaker 2 (26:38):
Like with that with a plane, You're like, man, I
had no way, no way, but a dirigible now you're talking, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (26:45):
It's you. Definitely.

Speaker 2 (26:46):
I think I'm getting the call of the void when
I look at a blimp.

Speaker 1 (26:50):
Exactly it's just like, man, look, I could I don't
have to be able to aim good at all.

Speaker 2 (26:54):
I could probably throw a football clear through that zeppelin
bring it down.

Speaker 3 (26:58):
And you're looking at your friend and just pre checking
with them, and you're like, I'm a cool person, right,
Like I'm not.

Speaker 2 (27:05):
Yeah, yeah, I've already called DIBs on bringing it down.

Speaker 1 (27:09):
Ah damn it, all right, you go, you going to
get on board with this? And so I was like,
I bet, I bet like that the Hindenburg disaster was
such a mess and like so horrifying looking like just
that having a huge thing like burst into flame, and
like I think thirty six people died, Like but is

(27:30):
it that dangerous? And it is like there's people dying
like a lot at that during that time of popularity.
There's a lot of ill fated missions, a lot of
them in New Jersey. For some reason. You could just
be that New Jersey doesn't know how to deal with
But yeah, like a few years before the Hindenburg, uss

(27:50):
Akron crashes at sea off the coast of New Jersey
and severe storm, seventy three dead, many drowns.

Speaker 2 (27:56):
Oh, I can see how weather is. Probably it's great
at you guys.

Speaker 3 (28:04):
Yeah, yeah, man, I just I feel like it could
potentially be an answer to a lot of the stuff
happening with private and commercial flights. It's just slow, ungainly cumbersome.
They're Chonky Boys in the sky.

Speaker 1 (28:24):
Chonky Boys in the sky.

Speaker 3 (28:25):
Hell yeah, I love that. That's the album name.

Speaker 1 (28:27):
Yeah. Yeah. The fact that the Empire State Building was
originally designed to be a blimp docking station, that's why
it kind of looks the way it does, has always
like captured my imagination and just been like, man, there
is an alternate version of history where like the sky
over New York is just full of blips, indirigible. Was

(28:50):
the Empire State Building was Disney right, It seems like
it would just got to be a big pointy thing
on the top, would be a bad It was.

Speaker 3 (28:59):
Designed for other stuff. But in the pitch meeting someone
was like, you know what, also we should park glimps here,
you guys.

Speaker 1 (29:06):
At the time, we're essentially like our version of AI
where it's just like the blips. Into the pitch people
excited about it. It was like even though you.

Speaker 2 (29:17):
Think I was like it's fine, you'd think, right, but
this is one percent dirigible safe.

Speaker 1 (29:22):
Okay, this metaphorical bubble will ever burst.

Speaker 2 (29:26):
Yeah, wow, we're just one's our Ai Hindenburgh good or
man comes on the way.

Speaker 1 (29:34):
Anyways, I agree with you. We need to bring them
back for for good or ill, just because they would
look cool. The world would look so sick.

Speaker 3 (29:42):
I like how you tagged for ill, as if you
lightly implied that blimps may ruin the world, and you're like, let's.

Speaker 1 (29:49):
Go for it.

Speaker 3 (29:50):
Look it.

Speaker 1 (29:51):
They appear to be more dangerous than I was hoping
when you first brought this up a few minutes ago
on the Wikipedia. Listen to your accidents and there's quite
a few whimsical as hell. You don't need a jet
fuel to propel yourself quite as much as you do
with like the thousands of flights, thousands and thousands of

(30:12):
flights that are you know, going through the air every day.
That it is a plot point at the end of
Ministry for the Future, the book about like what a
future where we actually solve climate change would look like.
One of them is that we replace air travel via
jet fuel propelled rockets with dirigibles. And it's fun, it's

(30:34):
just slower. You just have to be willing to like
slow the pace of your life down a little bit.

Speaker 3 (30:38):
And there's nothing wrong with taking a breath.

Speaker 1 (30:42):
No, I mean there is now saying shit like that
today I'll get you killed. But this guys two into breathing.
Let's take a quick break. We'll come back. We'll talk
about your overrated and get into the news. We'll be
right back and or back and bemble. And what is

(31:10):
something you think is overrated?

Speaker 3 (31:12):
Leaf flowers? What you know the machines?

Speaker 1 (31:16):
They're like the most fun machine that I own.

Speaker 3 (31:19):
You own a leaf floor?

Speaker 2 (31:20):
I thought you were talking about Toronto maple leaves fans.

Speaker 1 (31:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (31:26):
Man, it's winning peg all day. Wait, so you you
hate a leaf blower? What do you mean I don't?

Speaker 3 (31:35):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Like do you run into leaf blowers
in your day to day life?

Speaker 1 (31:40):
Miles, Yeah, all the time.

Speaker 3 (31:47):
I just look, I get it for a big deal. Place, sure,
clean up the yard in your halls of government or
your holy places or whatever.

Speaker 1 (32:00):
I like to take this old damn place.

Speaker 2 (32:03):
You just see the Capitol building at night, somebody's just
leaf blowing all this ship through the halls.

Speaker 3 (32:10):
And yeah, well, why it's such a phenomenally unnecessary invention
for the most part. You know, leaves are part of
the natural leaf flower. Yeah, man, yeah, you're.

Speaker 2 (32:23):
Talking like who doesn't know the power of the leaf flower?
But I used to be cool. Okay, guys, remember you
know I was smoking cannabis using It sounds like the
take of somebody who hasn't consumed cannabis in the past
forty eight.

Speaker 3 (32:37):
Hours, right right, right right. I would hit my cannabis, said,
I would crank up my leaf flower.

Speaker 1 (32:45):
The flowers do give off a lot of fumes. I
will say, like that. You you are like power lost. Yeah,
the power ones are creating, Like I have a plug
in one that is obviously like not as powerful or
convenient as the gas powered ones. And like, you know,
shout out to the people who have to use gas
powered leaf blowers for their jobs. But it's man, like

(33:09):
you you feel like you're behind a car, like a
gas powered car.

Speaker 2 (33:13):
It's just weird that you say that they're overrated in
the week where the federal government has launching a siege
against Portland, where they famously were using leaf blowers, uh
to kind of blow back the tear gas canisters.

Speaker 3 (33:26):
Oh okay, no, I've changed my mind. I was just
like alright, c I like that's that's the first use
of a leaf that I like.

Speaker 1 (33:38):
Second one, when you have a plug in one, you
plug it in and if you forget to turn it
off and it's on, it will like start shooting around
on the ground. Because the it's like a rocket powered
wind turbine. It's pretty fun. Wait, you've you've left one,
You've left I left it in and then you just

(33:59):
have way no, no, no, exactly, it's a balloon letting
its hair out. I have to go chase it around.
The pluggin ones are super late. We I let go before.
You're like, oh, so you never use a leaf blower before,
huh this is.

Speaker 7 (34:20):
Did you leave it blood in again? Yes, but that's
my signe the point. The kids are using it all day.
The kids were using it. Get in the house, go
in the cellar, save yourself. Save get I'm burning the
house down. Get out, Get.

Speaker 1 (34:38):
Into the leaf blower shelter. All right, All right, well
agree to disagree on this one, then I agree to agree.

Speaker 3 (34:45):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (34:46):
Yeah, let's talk about Epsteam files. Yeah. Still people listed
in the Epstein files still not very popular?

Speaker 2 (34:56):
No, no, you on Over the weekend, there were so
many news stories like how Stephen Miller was now known
to be running point on operation kill people in boats
without evidence and just say it's got Maybe we could
trust that guy.

Speaker 1 (35:11):
Yeah, yeah, made it's the boat was made of fentanyl.

Speaker 2 (35:14):
That's yeah, yeah, that's why you know, illegal US and
illegal invasions of US cities, or maybe even Trump's directive
to law enforcement that being anti capitalist or anti traditional
values is a potential indicator.

Speaker 1 (35:28):
Of being a terrorist. But there was a little bit
of Epstein news.

Speaker 2 (35:32):
So the Democrats on the I believe the Oversight Committee,
they put out a few documents from uh, Jeffrey Epstein's
personal calendar and revealed that people like Steve Bannon, Peter Tiel,
and Elon.

Speaker 1 (35:44):
Musk show up there a time or two.

Speaker 2 (35:47):
The band and stuff isn't as surprising because you know,
Steve Bannon talks about how he was like interviewing Epstein,
and like there's like this whole unreleased episode of war
Room where it sounds like Epstein's trying to be like
and I stopped talking to Trump when I realized he
was a crook. And it's like, yeah, okay, sure, whatever,
whatever you gotta say, man. But the and the Teal
thing is you know, I don't.

Speaker 1 (36:08):
I don't.

Speaker 2 (36:08):
That's not as surprising. None of it really is surprising
for one. Believe the thing with Elon though as well.
He appears in Epstein's calendar and with this entry from
twenty fourteen quote Elon Musk to Island December sixth, parenthetical
is this still happening?

Speaker 1 (36:24):
What the island?

Speaker 3 (36:27):
So, Jeff Jeff wrote this.

Speaker 2 (36:29):
This is in Jeffrey Epstein's personal calendar. It said Elon Musk,
the financier Elon Musk to island December sixth.

Speaker 1 (36:40):
Is this still happening? Yeah? I don't know.

Speaker 2 (36:42):
If I don't think it's the island that Ewan McGregor
and Scarlett Johansson movie that came out about being like a.

Speaker 1 (36:49):
Body, I would assume that's the island. Yeah, yeah, it
feels more could be, Yeah for sure. Musk on Twitter
fired back, saying that it's like and tried to get
me to go so many times and I just didn't go.
Like I went to his condo once, but like he
was always trying to get me to go line, and
I knew he was a creep. So okay, sure, just

(37:12):
interesting that he was the guy who like kind of
drummed up the interest in Epsteam files and then seems
to be hoisted by his own pitar, his own Jean
Luke Pitard.

Speaker 3 (37:23):
There we go. Didn't he delete all that stuff too?

Speaker 1 (37:26):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (37:26):
He deleted it like right after, like maybe a month
or two ago. He had just silently was like, I
never recused anyone being an Epstein files ever, that's not me.
But also like in this thing, it says Elon Musk
to Island December sixth, is this still happening, which to
me would presume you said, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, he'll
be the December sixth.

Speaker 1 (37:48):
Yeah, not exactly what happening. I refused every time.

Speaker 2 (37:52):
Yeah yeah, but okay and well and aside from that,
shit could potentially still get real one at Alita Griholva
is sworn in. As we said last week, she won
a special election in Arizona to be the two hundred
and eighteenth signature to the discharge petition, which would allow
for a floor vote in the House to basically be like,

(38:14):
we're releasing all the Epstein files in a searchable, public
friendly format.

Speaker 1 (38:18):
And have at it, folks. When can she be sworn in? Oh?

Speaker 2 (38:21):
Well, when Speaker Mike Johnson brings the House back into session.

Speaker 1 (38:25):
Is he doing it right now? No, No, he's not.
Isn't the government facing a shut for a government shut
down like tonight.

Speaker 2 (38:32):
If nothing happens, Yeah, yeah it could. So Mike Johnson
is helping to prevent Griholva from signing by not bringing
the House into session, because if the House is brought
the second the House is brought into session to do business,
they have to swear in new members. Like that's just that,
there's no way around that. He right now, he's saying

(38:54):
he's not. He's like not bringing the House into session.
He wants to put pressure on Democrats in the Senate
to own you know, the shutdown for not voting for
the stopgap funding bill that the House passed last week.
But you know, the fucking stop Like the reason the
Democrats are even resisting is like, you're taking all this

(39:15):
funding away from Medicaid, all these other social safety net programs.
This is one of the few times there's leverage. So
let's see what's up there. Don't know yet where that
which way that's going to go, don't know, But keep
in mind, these people did vote for a Charlie Kirk
Memorial Day recently, so we'll see what kind of what
kind of resistance they're able to sort of present to this.

Speaker 3 (39:37):
Also, the point that you're raising their miles is the
leverage I would say is that this this is forcing
the GOP to come out in the open even further
with Project twenty twenty five and attacking one of their
strongest voting blocks, which is angry old people.

Speaker 2 (39:58):
Angry old people who are doing well enough to not
know what's happening outside of their houses in any way
like insulated just enough that you are now you've now
settled into the end of American life phase where you
just watch outrage news all day inside and.

Speaker 1 (40:15):
Pretending you only contact with the outside world. Is Fox News? Yep? Great? Great.
So this in this context is interesting that Marjorie Taylor
Green has come through because she is on the yes,
We'll vote to have these files released side of the
ledger and she she has said, I told them you
didn't get me elected. I do not work for you.

(40:37):
I work for my district. We weren't supposed to just
be whipping on our vote, whipping on our votes. Yeah, yeah,
whipping on our vote. Well, because the whip is the
person who gets the votes together. Yeah, got it. We
aren't supposed to be whipping on our votes because they're
telling us what to do with this scary thread or
saying we'll primary you, or that we won't get invited

(40:57):
to the White House events. Me personally, I don't care.
I'm like, fuck you.

Speaker 2 (41:03):
And that coincides with her saying I am not suicidal.
I am not thinking of harming myself in any way.
If something were to happen to me, look up towards
the elite. You will look into whatever happens to me.
Very I'm like, what are they saying to you, because
right now you just said they're going to primary you
or you want get invite into a White House event,

(41:25):
which I know does feel like violence to maga sycophants,
like that's the highest height you arrive at.

Speaker 3 (41:30):
But I agree with you. It was a weird escalation.
And here in the fair metropolis of Atlanta we get
a lot of heat from Marjorie Taylor Green. I'm not
sure who is voting for this person, And it's a
study in the increasingly like wrestling level era of politics.

(41:56):
People are just running out there. Do an undertaker stone
stone Cold Steve Austin moves and I'm like, are you
supposed to read ship and like vote on it.

Speaker 2 (42:08):
I'm basically Paul Bear, you know, sidekick just goes, who
are you gonna be about something or what? Orre He's
gonna get hit with a folding chair every time.

Speaker 3 (42:23):
I mean at this point, just by the dirigible, you.

Speaker 1 (42:26):
Know, and Atlanta, you guys also get hit with a
lot of heat from the sun. That place is warm
as hell. Yeah, I do think we can expect anytime
that somebody comes out pretty strongly, like in a h
anti Trump take. That's like on that side of Ledger.
It seems like in the following days they come through

(42:48):
with like something super anti semitic, you know, like like
with Tuger Carlson, like they I feel like there's some
manner of like right wing politics where it's like, okay,
so I am like kind of going against dear leader here,
But that's because I'm like this type hyper person. Yeah,

(43:11):
so you know, not that she isn't on the record
about anti senitism.

Speaker 2 (43:17):
She's pretty wild. She's pretty on the record.

Speaker 1 (43:20):
I mean, we all know her as the Jewish Space
Lasers lead.

Speaker 4 (43:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (43:24):
Yeah, I would say she's ugly on the record. But
that's that's a joke that the Simpsons probably would already
write later. Yeah, I got to tell you, guys, I
love the point about the over correction thing because we
know it gets so cartoonish, right, everybody is in a
race to be the most extreme in the wrestling mill,

(43:46):
you right.

Speaker 1 (43:47):
Yeah, yeah this.

Speaker 3 (43:49):
You ever heard about this Donald Trump guy. He's a
little too moderate for me. Yeah, you know, if if
he was a real conservative, right, like what's the no
true scotsman kind of rhetorical fallacy. If he was a
real conservative, he'd be rounding up the Welsh and those
left handers.

Speaker 1 (44:08):
Right right right?

Speaker 2 (44:09):
I mean, God, don't be a Welsh left hander.

Speaker 1 (44:12):
Though, Oh no, they'll get you, not in this America.
I thought you were going to say you liked the
point that I was making about no Jolanta taking a
lot of heat from the sun. I like it.

Speaker 3 (44:22):
I do like it.

Speaker 1 (44:23):
They don't call it hot Lanta for nothing.

Speaker 8 (44:25):
Oh, we we do need to talk about this Trump
tweet where he basically just posted an AI generated video
of a Fox News segment where a fake AI Laura
Trump proclaims that Trump was opening the.

Speaker 1 (44:42):
First medved med bed hospitals with med beds are right
wing conspiracy theory about technologically advanced beds that have all
kinds of like magical healing properties. And he was like,
oh shit, I'm doing that. That's so tight. This is
so weird. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (45:01):
Yeah, we'll get into the why of it. But here's
a little bit again. You're hearing an AI generated Laura
Trump in an AI generated Fox News segment in which
an AI generated Donald Trump will also give a comment
on this quote unquote news.

Speaker 1 (45:15):
Story breaking now. President Donald J. Trump has announced.

Speaker 2 (45:18):
A historic new healthcare system, the launch of America's first
med bed hospitals and a national med bed.

Speaker 1 (45:25):
Card for every citizen a.

Speaker 5 (45:27):
National med beed card soon received their own med bed card.
With it, you'll have guaranteed access to four new hospitals,
led by the top doctors in the nation, equipped with
the most advanced technology in the world. These facilities are safe, modern,
and designed to restore every citizen to full health and strength.

(45:47):
This is the beginning of a new era in American
healthcare in this first phase.

Speaker 2 (45:52):
Anyway, So he sounded like he was twenty twelve. I know,
he looked great in that safe video. He retweeted, I
didn't realize there was a quote from him in the
thing that he obviously were his brain and working order
would have no because he didn't say that ship because.

Speaker 1 (46:14):
I don't know. Yeah. Again, that's like it's like the
one version is he's so senile that he.

Speaker 2 (46:19):
Goes, oh yeah, oh okay. It's kind of like that
thing like when you are kind of getting to that
air of like the sort of senility where you don't
want to admit you forgot something, so you're gonna be.

Speaker 1 (46:29):
Like, oh yeah. People are like, yeah, you remember you
said that on Zeitguist And I'm like, uh huh, yeah,
everything I said on every Day five thousand episodes.

Speaker 2 (46:40):
That's how good my memory is, you know what I mean?

Speaker 3 (46:44):
Where that's a first version.

Speaker 2 (46:46):
Yeah, the first version is that, and that's just as
I mean, that's to me, that's feasible because why do this.
The other version is, you know, his polling is so
it's getting worse and worse, and I know that again
it does. Polling doesn't matter to an autocratic regime because
they will do whatever they need to to functionally stay
in power. But Trump's ego does need. He does need

(47:10):
to feel that he is winning hearts and minds, and
it feels like, in a weird way, this is him
just like throwing some fantasy seeds out to like the
conspiracy people who are there, like, yes, he acknowledged it. Yes,
there are med beds that cure cancer and can help
regrow limbs.

Speaker 1 (47:29):
Yeah you didn't know, dude, Yeah of course.

Speaker 2 (47:32):
I mean again, that even feels like it's just so
hard to even know, because that's like even stupid, that's
like even dumber to be like you're gonna just lie
and say that magic shit exists to try and get
people on your side because he's even he's pulling underwater
and everything except for like border security, and even that's
been going down on a pretty consistent trajectory.

Speaker 1 (47:52):
God, it's depressing that it's not already underwater.

Speaker 2 (47:55):
Yeah yeah, yeah, well it's still I mean, it's it's
amazing though, how like, because I think the other thing
too is you look at how like the Democrats were.

Speaker 1 (48:02):
Like democracy, you gotta save democracy, and people.

Speaker 2 (48:05):
Are like, dude, what I have like fucking bills to pay,
And that is one of the reasons why people were like,
I don't know, man, fucking Biden's not getting it done.

Speaker 1 (48:13):
Maybe Trump's gonna do it.

Speaker 2 (48:14):
But I think the same way the right is completely
misreading why people voted for them. It's not because they're like, yeah, man,
do med beds and like round everybody up, like it
was still the thing that spoke to them on a
very basic level. Not everybody, but a lot of low
information people still thought something to do with the economy's
going to happen, and with no movement on that, that's

(48:36):
definitely like beginning to color people's perceptions. Not the maga people,
but like the people who suddenly were like, yeah, fuck it,
I think I can just shoot myself in the foot
and it'll be okay.

Speaker 3 (48:48):
Yeah, leopards ave my face and so on. Right, these
folks are When I say these folks, I mean it
sounds like the administration is clearly scrambling for stuff that
seems like a win, uh or stuff that seems somehow positive,
however fraudulent. You know, Like we were talking earlier about

(49:11):
the difference between hyperbaric chambers, which are a real thing, right,
efficacy aside just tend to move that one, but they
are real things people can buy or go to, versus
med beds. I think we're all immediately thinking of the
film Elysium, Uh, there they are notable things there, and

(49:34):
thinking about back to Tank Classic. So is there is
there any real med bed This is just horseship right.

Speaker 2 (49:47):
No, no, there is no, there's no such thing as
of course, it's like, well regrows your limbs.

Speaker 1 (49:55):
I think it's like tie in with Fema, isn't there
also like some FEMA because piously where they're like they
have the med beds already and they're just like I
feel like I've seen this connected where they're like took
an aerial picture of a FEMA camp and were like there's.

Speaker 3 (50:10):
Oh that was the liners for coffins. That was the
conspiracy where they said you know.

Speaker 1 (50:16):
What you think inside those femal coffin med beds dog
the coffins for us. I will just say this is
an interesting one way or another. Like people say he's
like too online as a president, but like I guess
I would be online too if all like just looking

(50:36):
at social media, you were just like finding out cool
shit that you did. Damn, I cured cancer. I made
the tweet that I cured cancer. I invented the moonwalk,
all right, exactly when you're just sitting there and be like, Wow,
that's actually pretty sick. Congratulations.

Speaker 2 (50:54):
That was the guy who played Turbo and Breaking taught
Michael Jackson out.

Speaker 1 (50:58):
I guess take a quick break. We'll be back and
explain why you shouldn't tap your mouth shut, and we're back.

Speaker 2 (51:21):
Fucking medical tape off my mouth.

Speaker 1 (51:25):
Yeah, So apparently this is a trend that we've known
about since we found out about the morning routine of
that one influencer before that. Yeah, yeah, I guess it's
been going right. That's where I mainly that's like where
I get my visceral image of somebody pulling tape off
their mouth from ye big old thick strip of tape.

(51:47):
It like gives you a talking cartoon mouth where it's like.

Speaker 3 (51:53):
You know, it's just way, way way. First off, before
you continue, I'm asking on behalf of the Zichang, how
are you guys plugged into this? Like how did you
become aware of this demographic? Because you both immediately were like, oh, yeah,
you know tape your mouth show.

Speaker 2 (52:09):
I know, I just from watching social media like TikTok videos,
because it's a it's like a thing you see a
lot where people do like their morning routine, Like people
be like I wake up and I take this.

Speaker 1 (52:19):
Tape off my mouth, I'm like, what the fuck are
y'all do? Yeah, Victor, Yeah, Sigma Male routines, there's a
lot of it. Like, it's just all this shit to optimize.

Speaker 2 (52:29):
Man, fucking you got you gotta have the fucking mouth
taped up, you know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (52:33):
When I'm not on this show, I mainly hang with
Sigmas and that's how I know about this cool trend.
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, right, yeah, but it's
just it's just an arms race of like how all
the different ways that you can, you know, improve optimize
your life, get your grind set, grinding even harder in

(52:55):
your waking hours.

Speaker 2 (52:56):
But it's just like the wreathing specifically, right, It's like,
you know, dude, you you're now breathing through your nose.
It can help with you're snoring or sleep apnea.

Speaker 1 (53:06):
Allegedly, very and we are going to hit the hell
out of that, allegedly because now doctors are once again
reminding people, once again reminding fuddy y'all told y'all two
years ago, could you please stop taping your mouth shut
before going to sleep, because the quote benefits are modest

(53:30):
but the risks can include quote, making sleep disorders like
sleep apnea worse, or even causing something called suffocation.

Speaker 2 (53:40):
Don't give a fuck if it's from the Papa Road song,
that's a real thing. I thought it was from the
Papa Roads song suffocation.

Speaker 1 (53:48):
I have no idea suffocation. I was like, that's a
sick Yeah, that's a real thing.

Speaker 3 (53:58):
No breath is it doc your Sou's kind of word?

Speaker 2 (54:01):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. That's just so funny that. I mean,
I get it. I have like I have allergies and shit.
Sometimes I will wake up with like maybe one nostril
completely just plugged up and like maybe getting a third
of the airflow in another one because of like sinus
shit from allergies.

Speaker 1 (54:21):
The idea that you would then go from that to
being like, so I should plug the part of my
mouth that isn't the thing that turns into a rusty
pipe at night. Yeah, Like that freaks me the funk out. Yeah,
I get I get real stuffed nose, and it's not
a thing that I can anticipate heading to bed, like
whether I'm gonna wake up with a really stuffed up nose,

(54:42):
Like what are you? It's like a fucking stress dream. Yeah,
the idea of.

Speaker 3 (54:47):
Yeah, it feels like it give you nightmares, you know,
it feels like you're putting yourself in a hostage situation
every time you pass out and let me tape myself up. Well,
I mean, what's next? Do you like tie yourself and
hang upside down?

Speaker 1 (55:02):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (55:02):
Okay, Ben, You guys hold on anonymous posts on Craigslist
saying hey, come find me and free me, and then
you leave a little bit of a like a scavenger
hunt all the way to your house.

Speaker 1 (55:13):
And then they yeah, hope free med allegedly, yeah, allegedly yeah.
And then they pull pulled the tape off your mouth,
and the first thing they here is a groan of
pleasure that makes it clear that this was all just
part of your thing.

Speaker 6 (55:31):
It was another one of these keep falling for him,
just so much trouble man, good.

Speaker 3 (55:41):
Samarity, going place to place.

Speaker 1 (55:44):
Ta' still making that noise? Put it on, Put it
back on, put it back on. He's coming, all right,
all right, all right, whatever, so much.

Speaker 2 (56:02):
They're good Samaritans. Why are we dragging them through the
fucking mud. It's just funny, how like, especially with TikTok
in the in the lockdowns. Truly just became this place
where you can just say fucking anything, and if it
gets enough views, people were like, yeah, that's true, that's
medical science. That's medicine right there. Yeah, tape mouth, good,

(56:22):
got it ready.

Speaker 3 (56:23):
I did my own research, you guys, which is these
other three tiktoks. Yeah, and and I'm super plugged in
the only way to avoid hepatitis is to always be
gently holding an egg in the crook of your right elbow.

Speaker 1 (56:39):
Right, that's true, and that is a fact. And if
your scientific information was so scientifically accurate and rigorous, then
why didn't it go viral? Mm hmm exactly. You know,
it only got a couple hundred views exactly users.

Speaker 3 (56:55):
At the CDC. I know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (56:57):
I've lived twelve past lives. Watch me run through them
all in this selfie video.

Speaker 3 (57:02):
Speed run selfie card.

Speaker 2 (57:07):
And that was my caveman person who I was seven
million years ago.

Speaker 1 (57:12):
Uh huh, All right, Well, we talked at the top
of the show and on yesterday's episode about the riadd
Comedy Festival, where they are bringing some of the biggest
comedians to comedy Wash. The reputation of the Saudi Royal family.

Speaker 3 (57:28):
Live golf all over again.

Speaker 1 (57:29):
Oh yeah, I live golf. And now we are going
to be mad and washing their reputation because they have
bought Electronic Arts, one of the biggest video game companies
in the world. They're set to go private after thirty
six years of being a publicly traded company, and they're
being bought for fifty five billion dollars by the private
equity firm Silver Lake Partners, Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund

(57:54):
and affinity part I don't know it. So it's you know,
partially being owned by Saudi Arabia sovereign well fund.

Speaker 2 (58:01):
Yeah, and also a private equity firm that's run by
Jared Kushner, So you know Jared Kushner MBS running.

Speaker 1 (58:11):
Ea, you know what I mean?

Speaker 3 (58:13):
Now, king shit literactly exactly. Now I bet that guy.
I bet that guy sleeps with tape, you know what
I mean?

Speaker 1 (58:22):
Oh yeah, yeah, Yeah, he has a rollover. He has
like a little bit of a different thing where he
can't sleep unless he is laying on a bed of
people whose mouths are taped and all sublind folders. They
haven't seen their family.

Speaker 2 (58:35):
Yeah, this is just so like, yeah, a part of
me is thinking, Okay, obviously they want to do that
because e A is one of the biggest fucking game
developers out there. And if you own that, then what
like you're going to change like the like Madden to
have a Saudi Arabian team, and like, I'm curious how
they're going to push the soft power of video games,

(58:56):
Like what are they going to do when they're like, oh, yeah, actually, uh,
you know, I don't even know. I don't even know
what I think in like up end games like Battlefield
or Madden or EAFC or something like their biggest titles
to somehow be like, oh man, this is a sick
new player you can play with in this game.

Speaker 1 (59:14):
It's actually like the Cultural Minister of Saudi Arabia as
a hell of an arm.

Speaker 3 (59:19):
That's a Brenee level propaganda, isn't it. Like Hey, forget
about Kashaki, We're going to put these new players in.
They're overpowered. They all happen to be in the royal family,
right right, And if you subscribe to the DLC, you
might get to play with our boy Jaykush. Oh yeah, yeah,

(59:41):
he's like Tyson and punch Out.

Speaker 2 (59:42):
Yeah yeah, was what a Jared Kushner be playing for
a running back or some shit, and Madden.

Speaker 3 (59:47):
I don't know if he. I mean, I don't know
how they would cook the stats on that. It would
be frankly a fantasy hire. But also, let's not lose hope.
Private equity firms ruined stuff, right.

Speaker 1 (01:00:02):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, maybe good luck this is
bad for them. I mean, I do think having a
inexhaustible fund of money coming out of the ground in
Saudi Arabia is probably helpful. Yeah, yeah, I could definitely
see like a plug in, like a pack that you
get where you like can like playable billionaires.

Speaker 2 (01:00:26):
Or you know, or like the or just sort of
the basic premise of certain video games will no longer
be like like sort of gamewashing American imperialism, you know
what I mean, Sorry, EA's for our own propaganda in
the United States or like army blow back like this

(01:00:47):
that maybe they'll just include other nations. But I mean,
I think regardless, the consolidation of media under these powerful
people is always a bad thing. The one hope I
have is that like independent developers, like I feel like
people who play games enough be like, well, this game
fucking sucks.

Speaker 1 (01:01:05):
Now with all this dumb messaging about like whatever the.

Speaker 2 (01:01:07):
Fuck this is, I just wanted to kill brown people
indiscriminately like I used to.

Speaker 3 (01:01:12):
Now, why are they all journalist?

Speaker 1 (01:01:14):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:01:14):
These are the wrong again PCs.

Speaker 1 (01:01:16):
Yeah, right exactly. They're coming at you with clipboard, notebook.

Speaker 2 (01:01:20):
Tactical strike. They have a recorded conversation of you. Yeah,
it's we'll see, we'll see. But it just again, I
guess that's the other part is like I think, even
like with movies and things like that, I'm hoping that
elane emerges, like with all this consolidation that allows for,
you know, a release where people go like, yeah, actually

(01:01:41):
I like this independent stuff better now it speaks more
to my humanity. But I think that's going to be
a bit of a long process because they have all
the money right now.

Speaker 1 (01:01:49):
Yeah, all the all the rich people are buying all
the things, you know, so it's gonna have to come
from independent creators.

Speaker 2 (01:01:57):
It feels like, hey, all right, is that gang can
we crowd fun fifty five billion right now?

Speaker 3 (01:02:01):
Quick?

Speaker 2 (01:02:01):
Fifty five bill fifty five billion and a dollar to
be their best offer?

Speaker 3 (01:02:07):
There we go. Price is ride them?

Speaker 1 (01:02:09):
Yeah exactly, Ben Bowlin, pleasure having you as always on
the daily ZEI chist. Where can people find you? Follow

Speaker 1 (01:03:18):
But it's very kind. Is there work, Amedia you've been enjoying.

Speaker 3 (01:03:25):
Yes, several, But I'd like to ask you guys to
play a game as we end. One piece of media
that I've enjoyed recently. I rediscovered a book called Depraved
and Insulting English. It is, yeah, it's English is a
weird language, right, so that this is just a bunch
of weird English words. And what I'd like to do

(01:03:48):
is flip through this and let's find a word together
and let's see if it's funny. All right, all right,
so I'm starting to flip now, just say when.

Speaker 1 (01:03:57):
Stop this completely.

Speaker 2 (01:04:00):
This is our show, okay, and we're not going to
do segments that you just create on a whim.

Speaker 1 (01:04:04):
But okay, go on, I'll play your game.

Speaker 3 (01:04:06):
All right, Okay, okay, So we're on the page that
Miles said, all right, okay, finger running up down? Say stop?

Speaker 2 (01:04:11):
Is it like a dictionary? Like it's just is that
how it's sort of laid out? That's why you're like, dude,
you're just like petting this page.

Speaker 3 (01:04:17):
Okay, alphabetic jack, you pick one that's not the slabber
to cover with sloppy kisses, also to be foul with
spittle or anything else running from the mouth. These guys
aren't wearing tape.

Speaker 1 (01:04:31):
Wow, be slabbery. It's so wild.

Speaker 3 (01:04:34):
Like that makes me uncomfortable to hear something called the
slobberd I don't know justin we has been Slobberts.

Speaker 2 (01:04:41):
Speaking style was truly off putting. I worked for a
fucking of the slabberer. Dude, like freaking food?

Speaker 1 (01:04:48):
Would you get on? You know what I mean?

Speaker 2 (01:04:51):
Like just shit? I remember I should have known because
when I interviewed for this job, this guy was eating
pasta bumblele. He was eating clam what And I was
getting hit with clam shards from across this table.

Speaker 1 (01:05:04):
It was like shards. He was dude, like the fucking
penguin in Batmanriage, just fucking.

Speaker 2 (01:05:13):
And he was wearing a big onesie like Oswald cobbopot
like Danny DeVito's penguin character.

Speaker 3 (01:05:19):
