Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this Tuesday, February third

That's crazy. Yeah, bro, three years on the fuck is set.
It's a I'm sure we've discovered this in years past.
But it's also my father on law's birthday.

Eighty years older than the Geist show about that?
Speaker 2 (00:28):

Speaker 2 (00:49):
Whichever? Was that a Denny's order for you moons over
my Hammi?
Speaker 1 (00:54):
I didn't go to Denny's enough. What I know.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
I liked letted kid who has like uncles that are cops.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
And you've never been to it, Dan.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
I know we went so for whatever reason. We never
did like those sit down things. And the hangout for
at my high school was TGF Fridays or Applebee's. There
was an Applebee's close by.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
I just remember when it like when we were doing
that shit, We're like, well, we got Danny's money. I'm like,
and we go to an Applebee's like yes, but we're
hearing fries there.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Every time it came time to pay, there was somebody
who wouldn't pay or wouldn't have enough money, and there
was like, wait, so how much you put it? Like
it was the most math I've ever done. The most
stressful math I've ever done, is like under the gun
of trying to figure out who didn't pay.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
I was really good at math, and I was really
I didn't people.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Dude.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
I would flip the receipt over, get a pen, and
I would do percentages. Okay, fine, so you only had
one third of that, So let's assume that this was tax,
so one third of that and then like fuck, bro,
fine just here you take twenty. I'm like, exactly, man,
we're all in this together.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Anyway, all right, anyway, anyway, have your birthday of the
guy's child. Amazing, amazing work by you, one of the
most amazing, beautiful children on the planet.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
And anything to do with that.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
I know.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
I wish I could say we were looks maxing him,
but it's just.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
He's kind of currently looks maxing.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Yeah, he's maxing right now.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
All right, So the MAGA halftime show lineup has been
it's been a it's been a real back and forth affair.
Turning point us I promised to make an alternative super
Bowl halftime show for white supremacists who refused to watch
Bad Bunny, and back in October they were like, the
lineup is coming shortly, stay tuned and hold on to
(02:50):
your white white ass. It wasn't announced. Then in January
they said they actually wouldn't reveal the performance till the
show began, so you're gonna be like so surprised when
it happens.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Or even the kinds of performers. They were so mum
about it. You're like, bro, you guys are I know,
it's such a panic over there. Erica Kirk is probably
hitting people with fucking milk crates, like get.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
My fucking half time together.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Yeah, so they must bend to pay so much because
that January announcement early, like just a month ago, indicates
they had no one. They were like, could we get
we get that halftime performer who spends plates? No, they're
not racist, Okay, what about the people who do like
(03:41):
weird two person yoga at halftime of Clippers games. Nope, yeah, yeah, shit.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
What about what about red Panda?
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Can we get red Panda from that performance at the
Madison Square Garden?
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Actually, no, we shouldn't yet because.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Yeah, not white.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Is there a white panda among this?
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Now they have announced who will be playing, and this
is exactly what we predicted. I mean one, it's actually
less than we predicted because we were like, it'll be
like kid Rock and Ted Nugent. It is merely kid Rock.
And then the rest of the All American acts are
white country singers who are ready Jam pointed out their
(04:25):
names all look like they could be anagrams of each other.
You've got, of course, You've got of course Brantley Gilbert,
uh huh, Gabby Barrett, and Lee Brice. It does feel
like they just had a handful of the same scrabble
tiles and we're just making these. They got Brantlee Gilbert, Brantley.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Well, I'm with that.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
I can also spelled Gabby Barrett. Yeah, and the subset
of that is Lee Brice.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Yeah. Like they were doing a usual suspect things, just
like pulling things off the wall, but like just letters.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
And these people these aren't like AI created people that.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
They can just share. I'm sure they're fine, you know,
for like in terms of your your country performer. Yeah yeah,
I think in terms of not being fake, I think
they're fine.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Yeah. Brice, Oh my god, who are these people?
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Brandley? You don't know Brandley Gilbert. That's a real Brandtley
Gilbert Brantlee, not brandt Lee Gilbert Brandtley.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
Brantley Brantley Gilbert born January twenty, nineteen eighty five.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Okay, damn. His parents were way ahead of the game
on like those names that white people give their children,
you know, like now.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
That's like a kid name of a kid born in
twenty ten. Yes, well, hey, hey, shout out to Brandley Gilbert.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Shout out that.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
I'm sure and I'm sure all your racist fans are
gonna fucking.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Love it, love it, love it, love it.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Wow and kid Rock, I mean god, on some level,
I mean whatever, you'd think they'd be.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Like, it's going to bed, it's only can Yeah, only
can get Can. You couldn't get Nicki Minaj.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
She was just out the fuck with Trump, showing off the.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Fucking gold visa card for the fucking Trump accounts.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Yeah, the fact that it is chalk. It is exactly
who you knew it was going to be. And then,
like people that most people who aren't Country fans have
never heard of, suggest that this was a major failure
for them, like the whole search process, just that they
couldn't pull it together.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Yeah, I mean it makes sense.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
This is all done out of this a racist spike
job of a Super Bowl show.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
So yeah, God, if you guys should have led with love.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
You know, they all the all the supporting performers, in
addition to being anagrammish all have first names as the
last names Gilbert, Rice, Barrett. Uh so that's cool. Maybe
maybe that was what they were looking for.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
Hey, we're all we're all looking forward to hearing our
recap it.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Yes, we got a lot of we got a lot
of work to do. We got to go to see Milania,
coin of theaters, we got to watch this halftime show.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
I know it's such a hard thing. It's like I'd
rather just pirate it, you know, Like, why am I?
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (07:15):
I just want to see a wild is on Twitch.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Yeah, I'll make an account, we'll get it fucking taken
down and we'll just stream it on Twitch.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Hey, we buy a ticket for a different movie that's
showed around the same time, and then just like pop
in for to see what the vibe is.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
I could imagine you with your nervousness and me being high.
They go hey, hey, where are your guys tickets, and
we both have different reactions.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
You freeze, I feel like a smoke bomb down and
fucking run.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Yeah jack, fuck it, push them, go go, go go.
I run away. The wet diaper falls off my back.
I can't prepared, myles. What do you mean? I've got
a diaper on to absorb all the sweat from doing
something illegal.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Leave no train.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
This is in the first example of an alternative halftime show.
Back in twenty eleven, at the Thanksgiving Day Detroit Lyons game,
a singer named Mayor Hawthorne objective to the fact that
they had nickel Back playing the halftime show, so he
live streamed a performance from his parents' house. And this
does feel like sort of an enhanced version of that
(08:22):
a little bit, you know, it does feel like they're
streaming from their parents' house. The early two thousands, a
number of Christian broadcasters produced halftime alternatives in order to
try and protect the public from being traumatized from another
site of bare breast was the immediate aftermath of the general.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
Don't look at any you know, classical biblical art. Then
if you don't, yeah, yeah, breast God, I don't know
what you'd do.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
But that show that they put on as an alternative to,
by the way, was Paul McCartney singing, Hey Jude that,
like it was the super Bowl had a huge backlash too,
and like we're like, okay, only people that will resonate
with the elderly.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
Yeah, I remember when like we I was in high
school that I remember every halftime show was like, dude,
this is just all for our parents.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Yeah, these fucking people suck.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Yeah yeah, yeah, for a while there it was. And
then sometimes they would hit like Tom Petty hit pretty
hard even though it was like for the parents. Prince
was good like split that difference and it was such
a great entertainer. But yeah, when in doubt, they will
just be like, will the elderly appreciate it? Then that's
(09:33):
that's our main shit. But yeah, the Sky Angel halftime show,
which is a national Christian television network Angel sky Angel, Hey,
you don't you don't want an Earth Angel. You don't
want to see Angel. You gotta get that sky Angel part.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
The guy networks in the UK like Sky Sports and
sky News sky Angel.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
I don't know, but they were too scandalized by Paul
McCarty saying, Hey Jude, So they had a a special
including testimony from Christian athletes. They they they hit us
with everyone's favorite moment of every athletic event, when the
athlete is interviewed after winning and thanks God.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
All right, give your testimony now.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Yeah. We love those interviews where it feels like they're
it's like a terms of service that they signed with
their pastor. You know, they say it with all the
all the thoughtfulness and like, you know, introspection of something
that is like boiler plate that they have to get
out of the way.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
Yeah, before they go that performative Christian shit from athletes
a sofa and.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
There, I gotta thank God Jesus Christ. Yeah, yeah, every day,
you know what I mean? Man, what if that was
a halftime show? Have we thought about that and then.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Twenty straight minutes of outer breath athletes?
Speaker 1 (10:51):
You gotta Christ. Anyways, I feel like we can look
forward to something in that realm. Maybe it'd be better.
I mean, kid Rock and you know Brantley country singer
named Brantley only comes wrong along once.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
It's funny.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
People started posting this scene from Silicon Valley where there's
like a tech party where they got kid Rock to perform,
and it's just like a bunch of disinterested people with
kid Rock trying to perform, and it's just kind of
like and all these tech dudes are like, yeah, ignoring.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
I'm like, yeah, it's this is the vibe of America.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
You're gonna have a bunch of tech oligarchs being like
all right, let's take a quick break. We'll come right
back and talk about the Teslasm might be in trouble,
and uh, other people might be in trouble.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
America might be in trouble. We'll be right back and
we're back. Let's talk about that. There's this article the
a journalist from The Street Journal, or I guess more
of a columnist. I don't read the Wall Street Journal,
(12:03):
so I don't know, but it's definitely written in a
column format. They're having fun miles, they're having a little
bit of a lar but this journalist knows somebody who
works for the Chinese company that makes the top selling
ev in China. Yeah, and you're not allowed to have
(12:24):
those in America. You're not allowed to buy those in
America because of you know, trade trade stuff protectionism.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
Sort of like why they kept those people from leaving
the village in that movie The Village.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
It feels like very the village, very the village color.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
Basically like bro, you cannot know how much better it
is outside of here?
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Yeah? Yeah, yeah, those videos where like people just are
like here I am in China and everyone's like, whoa,
where are the work camps? Why?
Speaker 3 (12:59):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Yeah, why are you allowed to walk around free in
clothes that aren't part of the gray body suit they
make everybodywhere are?
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
Western imperial propaganda will never show you sincere depictions of
China or Africa really because there's they're like right now
that streamer I show Speed was doing going all around
Africa and so many young kids are like I thought
it was all dirt and like huh yeah, and the
like no, these are they're cities.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
But again you've been fed this.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
Idea that it's it's some version of like a Wakanda
before photo.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Yes, I remember the the scene and Independence Day where
they're like going around to all the major world locations
to show that people are celebrating the defeat of the Aliens,
and you know, they like cut to Australia and the
Sydney Opera houses in the background. They're like cut to
Europe and I don't know, fucking leaning Tower of Piece
(13:54):
or whatever. Then they cut to Africa and it's literally
like tribesmen with spears is like fucking shaking their spears
of this guy.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
So yeah, that was a good thing about TikTok is
that slowly began to show people stuff from China to.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Not anymore anymore. Shut that ship right down. Anyways, this
journalist from the Wall Street Journal got to drive it.
You know, this is like the first the person who
gets to bring over Super Mario Brothers too from Japan.
I was like, yo, I got I've seen the future,
(14:34):
you know, back when we were the kids. For people
who don't know, like that was released in Japan before
it was like years before it was in the United States.
And she regrets to report that it makes the electric
vehicles that are available to us in the US look
like absolute shit. Yeah, just like Model Te's like with
(14:58):
like yeah, yeah, like even though it's an ev it
has a tailpipe where there's a bubble of smoke coming
out of it, like it appears to be coughing. But
she wrote the article in the tone of someone pining
for like a lover that they cup to the US
automotive industry with she She writes, it's been about a
(15:19):
month since we were last together. Now, every time I
climb back into my Ford Mustang mock e, I can't
stop thinking about you. Your long range, your modular interior,
You're absurdly large infotainment screen.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
It's so fucking hold on, check in on this person's
marriage too.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
On weekends, the kids talk about your wireless karaoke, MIC's
walkie talkies, and yes, that backseat mini fridge. But like
just the detail, so yes, that's some stylistic flourishes, for sure,
the details are pretty striking. She said. Her time with
(15:59):
the car confirmed what experts in the automotive industry have
long been saying, China is winning the digitally enhanced electric
car race. The company how's it pronounced? Tell me t
tell me it's basically like if Apple. Like there there's
long been a rumored like Apple car where it's like,
what if Apple just made a car and the whole
thing is iPhone, and it's like if Apple did that
(16:23):
and it actually worked and was like awesome. But they
deliver longer battery range software that feels smooth like a
brand new smartphone. So they also have a quote from
the CEO of Ford, who I think we've heard from before,
who like went over to China. He's like, yo, I
saw how they make these things. Holy shit, they don't
(16:44):
even have in there. Yeah, there's just a robot that
like puts these things together and they have the lights off. Yeah.
Jim Farley, who said the competitive reality is that the
Chinese are the seven hundred pound gorilla in the EV industry.
There's no real competition from Tesla, GM or Ford with
(17:05):
what we've seen from China. They have a five hundred
mile range, said one of her favorite small features navigation
directions don't kill the music. They come through speakers in
the driver's seat headrest is whispering to you. Yeah, it's
just like, hey, an runnings are up right here. You
don't need to your kids don't need to.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Know about this. Shoot me.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
The Yeah. Yeah, So the price is crazy. She's like
that everything about this feels like it would be sold
as the ultimate luxury car in the United States. It
is being sold in China for two hundred and ninety
nine thousand yuan, which converts to forty three thousand dollars,
which is the same as the Tesla model.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Why, which is a real strip down.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
Yeah, that's like the Bear the Bear bones won and
this is like they're fully loaded a bit.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
It doesn't even have interior panels that one. It's just
off frame. I think that tes looks those are add ons.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
The other thing that was interesting too.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
It's like those play school cars, just a plastic shell.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
This one hinge on the door, Yeah, exactly. It has
a handling back so Daddy can push you down the sidewalk.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
But like, the other thing that I think is really
interesting too is like so many people lament all of
these smart cars and the lack of physical buttons, like
to the point that Shaumi has like an accessory that
you can snap onto the touch screen, so you can
actually use like physical buttons with their touch screen, like
like the air conditioning. Because somebody are like, I hate that.
(18:42):
It's not a fucking regular thing anymore. Here, how about
this little add on.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
That help we built a thing for you? Does that help.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
Unfortunately, I will be charged with treason if I'm caught driving.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
This in the streets of America.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Yeah, it's there's all sorts of features that uhs just
like it's it just works like so much better than
Like She's like, you know, the whole the whole thing
is built to sync with your shell me phone, Like
the whole you know. It's like if a if Apple
made a car, it would only work with an iPhone.
It's like if you if you had an Android, they
(19:17):
would make sure that it fucking broke when you tried
to sync with it. She was using an iPhone on
the shell mey car, and she was like and just
like the car play is like so much better than
our car play. Like it's just everything about it works better.
They're not antagonistic. They're not like doing corporate warfare to
like punishing consumers. You know.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
I mean for maybe if for people who have like
conservative friends and family who are in denial about the
collapse of the American empire. Just look at our once
lauded automobile industry. Yeah, now it's such such it's fallen
so far behind that our country is like they're like,
we we have to first of all, not that how
(20:00):
good these cars are because they're going to start demanding more,
but also just showing like that's also a huge part
of like this, you know, like the sort of soft.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Power of America.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
People always were like, oh, American goods are like what
you're trying to get after, bro, Now they're like these
shitty cars that you can don't do anything.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
Yeah, and I think like that there's been you know,
Detroit's been a bit of a joke for a while now.
But the tech industry and like Tesla coming in was
the thing that everyone's like, well, this is this is
our saving grace. We've got the best tech companies, the
richest tech oligarchs, and they're going to be the ones
who save us. And like, Tesla sucks shit compared to
(20:38):
this company, their product is way worse, and yeah, La
Elon Musk has like kind of moved his focus over
to SpaceX now for like building his Gargantua.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
He's been for the last two years been insisting Tesla
is not a car company anymore. Yeah, Yeah, this all
helps because I'm sure he knew the writing was on
the wise, like eventually they're going to compare my shit.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
To what they have in China, and I'm gonna be like, well,
this is never a car company anyway.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
Yeah, it's a fucking robo taxi fucking thing, so fucking
leave me alone.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Yeah, and this is but yeah, Brian the editor points out,
this was just like they just started making cars and
they're just like, oh, I guess we're good at this too. Huh.
All right, what's that tesla?
Speaker 2 (21:19):
Huh? Okay, that's bectually got good luck, man, good look.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
Finally, there's reporting that the Clintons have agreed to a
house deposition on their inclusion in the Epstein files.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
Yeah, yeah, but they're they're like, yeah, we'll come for
a deposition. But they're they're also like, okay, but here's
the deal. Let's do this in a public hearing, right,
So we'll see if James Comer will be like okay,
because I'm sure he'd love to have a closed door
deposition and maybe try and be like I can only
show you.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
Selective parts, or they're probably like no, no.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
No, no, no, like we'll do it okay out there. What's
Bill Clinton gonna do?
Speaker 2 (21:52):
Be like? Yeah, man always into some dirt. Man.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
He he's really interesting. He's like a athlete who can't
tell that they're like, you know, like a like a
boxer who like comes back at sixty. Was like, hey,
no one, I got right, but like comes back at sixty.
And I was like, you know, the only thing they've
ever known is being the best, and so they come back.
(22:15):
I'm like, don't realize they're not the best anymore. Like
he was like the perfect man for his time and
like charismatic and just the way the world wanted at
that moment, and he doesn't realize that now he like
gets up there and like creeps everyone out, and he's
still he's just like, let's just let the charisma ooze, man,
(22:36):
you know what I'm saying. And it's like, we're not
going to accept it depends on what your definition of
is is anymore. Brother, that's no longer flying. So I
don't think this will go as well as they I
think both of them have a outsized opinion of their
own likability.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
So and I think the only way this moves the
needle is if he's like, yeah, man, I I was
definitely cheating with a ton of women that I was
getting from Jeffrey Epstein.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
Right.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
But here's the thing, they were adults and also Sola's
Trump and.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
So I yeah, I don't.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
I mean, like, I honestly have no idea otherwise it's
is all outrageous.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
Yeah, yeah, I feel like that's what it's gonna be.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
My husband was in that jacuzzi with that woman who
was a concerned constituent, Like.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
What are they like?
Speaker 3 (23:24):
You know, because there's images too, it's like, well, what
was your relationship?
Speaker 2 (23:28):
And I'm sure that's when he was like, just.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
Party man, you know, yeah, you would just party many man.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
You know what I'm saying. That's that liner. All right,
those are some of the things that are trending on
this Tuesday, February third, Happy two thousandth episode to us.
By the way, you can go listen to our extra
long episode where we look back at some of your

But it's also my father on law's birthday.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Hey, everybody, happy birthday, exactly.

Eighty years older than the Geist show about that?
Speaker 2 (00:28):

that one courtesy of Vanadium Silver on the Discord Moons
over my trendy?
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Whichever? Was that a Denny's order for you moons over
my Hammi?
Speaker 1 (00:54):
I didn't go to Denny's enough. What I know.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
I liked letted kid who has like uncles that are cops.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
And you've never been to it, Dan.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
I know we went so for whatever reason. We never
did like those sit down things. And the hangout for
at my high school was TGF Fridays or Applebee's. There
was an Applebee's close by.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
I just remember when it like when we were doing
that shit, We're like, well, we got Danny's money. I'm like,
and we go to an Applebee's like yes, but we're
hearing fries there.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Every time it came time to pay, there was somebody
who wouldn't pay or wouldn't have enough money, and there
was like, wait, so how much you put it? Like
it was the most math I've ever done. The most
stressful math I've ever done, is like under the gun
of trying to figure out who didn't pay.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
I was really good at math, and I was really
I didn't people.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Dude.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
I would flip the receipt over, get a pen, and
I would do percentages. Okay, fine, so you only had
one third of that, So let's assume that this was tax,
so one third of that and then like fuck, bro,
fine just here you take twenty. I'm like, exactly, man,
we're all in this together.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Anyway, all right, anyway, anyway, have your birthday of the
guy's child. Amazing, amazing work by you, one of the
most amazing, beautiful children on the planet.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
And anything to do with that.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
I know.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
I wish I could say we were looks maxing him,
but it's just.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
He's kind of currently looks maxing.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Yeah, he's maxing right now.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
All right, So the MAGA halftime show lineup has been
it's been a it's been a real back and forth affair.
Turning point us I promised to make an alternative super
Bowl halftime show for white supremacists who refused to watch
Bad Bunny, and back in October they were like, the
lineup is coming shortly, stay tuned and hold on to
(02:50):
your white white ass. It wasn't announced. Then in January
they said they actually wouldn't reveal the performance till the
show began, so you're gonna be like so surprised when
it happens.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Or even the kinds of performers. They were so mum
about it. You're like, bro, you guys are I know,
it's such a panic over there. Erica Kirk is probably
hitting people with fucking milk crates, like get.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
My fucking half time together.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Yeah, so they must bend to pay so much because
that January announcement early, like just a month ago, indicates
they had no one. They were like, could we get
we get that halftime performer who spends plates? No, they're
not racist, Okay, what about the people who do like
(03:41):
weird two person yoga at halftime of Clippers games. Nope, yeah, yeah, shit.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
What about what about red Panda?
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Can we get red Panda from that performance at the
Madison Square Garden?
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Actually, no, we shouldn't yet because.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Yeah, not white.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Is there a white panda among this?
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Now they have announced who will be playing, and this
is exactly what we predicted. I mean one, it's actually
less than we predicted because we were like, it'll be
like kid Rock and Ted Nugent. It is merely kid Rock.
And then the rest of the All American acts are
white country singers who are ready Jam pointed out their
(04:25):
names all look like they could be anagrams of each other.
You've got, of course, You've got of course Brantley Gilbert,
uh huh, Gabby Barrett, and Lee Brice. It does feel
like they just had a handful of the same scrabble
tiles and we're just making these. They got Brantlee Gilbert, Brantley.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Well, I'm with that.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
I can also spelled Gabby Barrett. Yeah, and the subset
of that is Lee Brice.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Yeah. Like they were doing a usual suspect things, just
like pulling things off the wall, but like just letters.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
And these people these aren't like AI created people that.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
They can just share. I'm sure they're fine, you know,
for like in terms of your your country performer. Yeah yeah,
I think in terms of not being fake, I think
they're fine.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Yeah. Brice, Oh my god, who are these people?
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Brandley? You don't know Brandley Gilbert. That's a real Brandtley
Gilbert Brantlee, not brandt Lee Gilbert Brandtley.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
Brantley Brantley Gilbert born January twenty, nineteen eighty five.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Okay, damn. His parents were way ahead of the game
on like those names that white people give their children,
you know, like now.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
That's like a kid name of a kid born in
twenty ten. Yes, well, hey, hey, shout out to Brandley Gilbert.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Shout out that.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
I'm sure and I'm sure all your racist fans are
gonna fucking.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Love it, love it, love it, love it.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Wow and kid Rock, I mean god, on some level,
I mean whatever, you'd think they'd be.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Like, it's going to bed, it's only can Yeah, only
can get Can. You couldn't get Nicki Minaj.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
She was just out the fuck with Trump, showing off the.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Fucking gold visa card for the fucking Trump accounts.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Yeah, the fact that it is chalk. It is exactly
who you knew it was going to be. And then,
like people that most people who aren't Country fans have
never heard of, suggest that this was a major failure
for them, like the whole search process, just that they
couldn't pull it together.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Yeah, I mean it makes sense.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
This is all done out of this a racist spike
job of a Super Bowl show.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
So yeah, God, if you guys should have led with love.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
You know, they all the all the supporting performers, in
addition to being anagrammish all have first names as the
last names Gilbert, Rice, Barrett. Uh so that's cool. Maybe
maybe that was what they were looking for.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
Hey, we're all we're all looking forward to hearing our
recap it.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Yes, we got a lot of we got a lot
of work to do. We got to go to see Milania,
coin of theaters, we got to watch this halftime show.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
I know it's such a hard thing. It's like I'd
rather just pirate it, you know, Like, why am I?
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (07:15):
I just want to see a wild is on Twitch.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Yeah, I'll make an account, we'll get it fucking taken
down and we'll just stream it on Twitch.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Hey, we buy a ticket for a different movie that's
showed around the same time, and then just like pop
in for to see what the vibe is.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
I could imagine you with your nervousness and me being high.
They go hey, hey, where are your guys tickets, and
we both have different reactions.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
You freeze, I feel like a smoke bomb down and
fucking run.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Yeah jack, fuck it, push them, go go, go go.
I run away. The wet diaper falls off my back.
I can't prepared, myles. What do you mean? I've got
a diaper on to absorb all the sweat from doing
something illegal.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Leave no train.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
This is in the first example of an alternative halftime show.
Back in twenty eleven, at the Thanksgiving Day Detroit Lyons game,
a singer named Mayor Hawthorne objective to the fact that
they had nickel Back playing the halftime show, so he
live streamed a performance from his parents' house. And this
does feel like sort of an enhanced version of that
(08:22):
a little bit, you know, it does feel like they're
streaming from their parents' house. The early two thousands, a
number of Christian broadcasters produced halftime alternatives in order to
try and protect the public from being traumatized from another
site of bare breast was the immediate aftermath of the general.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
Don't look at any you know, classical biblical art. Then
if you don't, yeah, yeah, breast God, I don't know
what you'd do.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
But that show that they put on as an alternative to,
by the way, was Paul McCartney singing, Hey Jude that,
like it was the super Bowl had a huge backlash too,
and like we're like, okay, only people that will resonate
with the elderly.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
Yeah, I remember when like we I was in high
school that I remember every halftime show was like, dude,
this is just all for our parents.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Yeah, these fucking people suck.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Yeah yeah, yeah, for a while there it was. And
then sometimes they would hit like Tom Petty hit pretty
hard even though it was like for the parents. Prince
was good like split that difference and it was such
a great entertainer. But yeah, when in doubt, they will
just be like, will the elderly appreciate it? Then that's
(09:33):
that's our main shit. But yeah, the Sky Angel halftime show,
which is a national Christian television network Angel sky Angel, Hey,
you don't you don't want an Earth Angel. You don't
want to see Angel. You gotta get that sky Angel part.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
The guy networks in the UK like Sky Sports and
sky News sky Angel.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
I don't know, but they were too scandalized by Paul
McCarty saying, Hey Jude, So they had a a special
including testimony from Christian athletes. They they they hit us
with everyone's favorite moment of every athletic event, when the
athlete is interviewed after winning and thanks God.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
All right, give your testimony now.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Yeah. We love those interviews where it feels like they're
it's like a terms of service that they signed with
their pastor. You know, they say it with all the
all the thoughtfulness and like, you know, introspection of something
that is like boiler plate that they have to get
out of the way.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
Yeah, before they go that performative Christian shit from athletes
a sofa and.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
There, I gotta thank God Jesus Christ. Yeah, yeah, every day,
you know what I mean? Man, what if that was
a halftime show? Have we thought about that and then.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Twenty straight minutes of outer breath athletes?
Speaker 1 (10:51):
You gotta Christ. Anyways, I feel like we can look
forward to something in that realm. Maybe it'd be better.
I mean, kid Rock and you know Brantley country singer
named Brantley only comes wrong along once.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
It's funny.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
People started posting this scene from Silicon Valley where there's
like a tech party where they got kid Rock to perform,
and it's just like a bunch of disinterested people with
kid Rock trying to perform, and it's just kind of
like and all these tech dudes are like, yeah, ignoring.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
I'm like, yeah, it's this is the vibe of America.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
You're gonna have a bunch of tech oligarchs being like
all right, let's take a quick break. We'll come right
back and talk about the Teslasm might be in trouble,
and uh, other people might be in trouble.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
America might be in trouble. We'll be right back and
we're back. Let's talk about that. There's this article the
a journalist from The Street Journal, or I guess more
of a columnist. I don't read the Wall Street Journal,
(12:03):
so I don't know, but it's definitely written in a
column format. They're having fun miles, they're having a little
bit of a lar but this journalist knows somebody who
works for the Chinese company that makes the top selling
ev in China. Yeah, and you're not allowed to have
(12:24):
those in America. You're not allowed to buy those in
America because of you know, trade trade stuff protectionism.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
Sort of like why they kept those people from leaving
the village in that movie The Village.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
It feels like very the village, very the village color.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
Basically like bro, you cannot know how much better it
is outside of here?
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Yeah? Yeah, yeah, those videos where like people just are
like here I am in China and everyone's like, whoa,
where are the work camps? Why?
Speaker 3 (12:59):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Yeah, why are you allowed to walk around free in
clothes that aren't part of the gray body suit they
make everybodywhere are?
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
Western imperial propaganda will never show you sincere depictions of
China or Africa really because there's they're like right now
that streamer I show Speed was doing going all around
Africa and so many young kids are like I thought
it was all dirt and like huh yeah, and the
like no, these are they're cities.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
But again you've been fed this.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
Idea that it's it's some version of like a Wakanda
before photo.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Yes, I remember the the scene and Independence Day where
they're like going around to all the major world locations
to show that people are celebrating the defeat of the Aliens,
and you know, they like cut to Australia and the
Sydney Opera houses in the background. They're like cut to
Europe and I don't know, fucking leaning Tower of Piece
(13:54):
or whatever. Then they cut to Africa and it's literally
like tribesmen with spears is like fucking shaking their spears
of this guy.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
So yeah, that was a good thing about TikTok is
that slowly began to show people stuff from China to.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Not anymore anymore. Shut that ship right down. Anyways, this
journalist from the Wall Street Journal got to drive it.
You know, this is like the first the person who
gets to bring over Super Mario Brothers too from Japan.
I was like, yo, I got I've seen the future,
(14:34):
you know, back when we were the kids. For people
who don't know, like that was released in Japan before
it was like years before it was in the United States.
And she regrets to report that it makes the electric
vehicles that are available to us in the US look
like absolute shit. Yeah, just like Model Te's like with
(14:58):
like yeah, yeah, like even though it's an ev it
has a tailpipe where there's a bubble of smoke coming
out of it, like it appears to be coughing. But
she wrote the article in the tone of someone pining
for like a lover that they cup to the US
automotive industry with she She writes, it's been about a
(15:19):
month since we were last together. Now, every time I
climb back into my Ford Mustang mock e, I can't
stop thinking about you. Your long range, your modular interior,
You're absurdly large infotainment screen.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
It's so fucking hold on, check in on this person's
marriage too.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
On weekends, the kids talk about your wireless karaoke, MIC's
walkie talkies, and yes, that backseat mini fridge. But like
just the detail, so yes, that's some stylistic flourishes, for sure,
the details are pretty striking. She said. Her time with
(15:59):
the car confirmed what experts in the automotive industry have
long been saying, China is winning the digitally enhanced electric
car race. The company how's it pronounced? Tell me t
tell me it's basically like if Apple. Like there there's
long been a rumored like Apple car where it's like,
what if Apple just made a car and the whole
thing is iPhone, and it's like if Apple did that
(16:23):
and it actually worked and was like awesome. But they
deliver longer battery range software that feels smooth like a
brand new smartphone. So they also have a quote from
the CEO of Ford, who I think we've heard from before,
who like went over to China. He's like, yo, I
saw how they make these things. Holy shit, they don't
(16:44):
even have in there. Yeah, there's just a robot that
like puts these things together and they have the lights off. Yeah.
Jim Farley, who said the competitive reality is that the
Chinese are the seven hundred pound gorilla in the EV industry.
There's no real competition from Tesla, GM or Ford with
(17:05):
what we've seen from China. They have a five hundred
mile range, said one of her favorite small features navigation
directions don't kill the music. They come through speakers in
the driver's seat headrest is whispering to you. Yeah, it's
just like, hey, an runnings are up right here. You
don't need to your kids don't need to.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Know about this. Shoot me.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
The Yeah. Yeah, So the price is crazy. She's like
that everything about this feels like it would be sold
as the ultimate luxury car in the United States. It
is being sold in China for two hundred and ninety
nine thousand yuan, which converts to forty three thousand dollars,
which is the same as the Tesla model.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Why, which is a real strip down.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
Yeah, that's like the Bear the Bear bones won and
this is like they're fully loaded a bit.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
It doesn't even have interior panels that one. It's just
off frame. I think that tes looks those are add ons.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
The other thing that was interesting too.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
It's like those play school cars, just a plastic shell.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
This one hinge on the door, Yeah, exactly. It has
a handling back so Daddy can push you down the sidewalk.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
But like, the other thing that I think is really
interesting too is like so many people lament all of
these smart cars and the lack of physical buttons, like
to the point that Shaumi has like an accessory that
you can snap onto the touch screen, so you can
actually use like physical buttons with their touch screen, like
like the air conditioning. Because somebody are like, I hate that.
(18:42):
It's not a fucking regular thing anymore. Here, how about
this little add on.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
That help we built a thing for you? Does that help.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
Unfortunately, I will be charged with treason if I'm caught driving.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
This in the streets of America.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Yeah, it's there's all sorts of features that uhs just
like it's it just works like so much better than
Like She's like, you know, the whole the whole thing
is built to sync with your shell me phone, Like
the whole you know. It's like if a if Apple
made a car, it would only work with an iPhone.
It's like if you if you had an Android, they
(19:17):
would make sure that it fucking broke when you tried
to sync with it. She was using an iPhone on
the shell mey car, and she was like and just
like the car play is like so much better than
our car play. Like it's just everything about it works better.
They're not antagonistic. They're not like doing corporate warfare to
like punishing consumers. You know.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
I mean for maybe if for people who have like
conservative friends and family who are in denial about the
collapse of the American empire. Just look at our once
lauded automobile industry. Yeah, now it's such such it's fallen
so far behind that our country is like they're like,
we we have to first of all, not that how
(20:00):
good these cars are because they're going to start demanding more,
but also just showing like that's also a huge part
of like this, you know, like the sort of soft.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Power of America.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
People always were like, oh, American goods are like what
you're trying to get after, bro, Now they're like these
shitty cars that you can don't do anything.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
Yeah, and I think like that there's been you know,
Detroit's been a bit of a joke for a while now.
But the tech industry and like Tesla coming in was
the thing that everyone's like, well, this is this is
our saving grace. We've got the best tech companies, the
richest tech oligarchs, and they're going to be the ones
who save us. And like, Tesla sucks shit compared to
(20:38):
this company, their product is way worse, and yeah, La
Elon Musk has like kind of moved his focus over
to SpaceX now for like building his Gargantua.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
He's been for the last two years been insisting Tesla
is not a car company anymore. Yeah, Yeah, this all
helps because I'm sure he knew the writing was on
the wise, like eventually they're going to compare my shit.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
To what they have in China, and I'm gonna be like, well,
this is never a car company anyway.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
Yeah, it's a fucking robo taxi fucking thing, so fucking
leave me alone.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Yeah, and this is but yeah, Brian the editor points out,
this was just like they just started making cars and
they're just like, oh, I guess we're good at this too. Huh.
All right, what's that tesla?
Speaker 2 (21:19):
Huh? Okay, that's bectually got good luck, man, good look.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
Finally, there's reporting that the Clintons have agreed to a
house deposition on their inclusion in the Epstein files.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
Yeah, yeah, but they're they're like, yeah, we'll come for
a deposition. But they're they're also like, okay, but here's
the deal. Let's do this in a public hearing, right,
So we'll see if James Comer will be like okay,
because I'm sure he'd love to have a closed door
deposition and maybe try and be like I can only
show you.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
Selective parts, or they're probably like no, no.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
No, no, no, like we'll do it okay out there. What's
Bill Clinton gonna do?
Speaker 2 (21:52):
Be like? Yeah, man always into some dirt. Man.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
He he's really interesting. He's like a athlete who can't
tell that they're like, you know, like a like a
boxer who like comes back at sixty. Was like, hey,
no one, I got right, but like comes back at sixty.
And I was like, you know, the only thing they've
ever known is being the best, and so they come back.
(22:15):
I'm like, don't realize they're not the best anymore. Like
he was like the perfect man for his time and
like charismatic and just the way the world wanted at
that moment, and he doesn't realize that now he like
gets up there and like creeps everyone out, and he's
still he's just like, let's just let the charisma ooze, man,
(22:36):
you know what I'm saying. And it's like, we're not
going to accept it depends on what your definition of
is is anymore. Brother, that's no longer flying. So I
don't think this will go as well as they I
think both of them have a outsized opinion of their
own likability.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
So and I think the only way this moves the
needle is if he's like, yeah, man, I I was
definitely cheating with a ton of women that I was
getting from Jeffrey Epstein.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
Right.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
But here's the thing, they were adults and also Sola's
Trump and.
