Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to Season thirty, episode three
days eight Guys from May Night, the two thou tea.
My name is Jack O'Brien a k iron like a
lion O'Brian. That is courtesy of Lotty uh, and I'm
thrilled to be joined as always find my co host

(00:21):
Mr Miles Gray and Jackie good Noll Ray knows that
guy because give it to me. Graby and all the
girls say, I'm pretty Miles for a sight guy open
beating baton globe. But that is from a k A

(00:41):
Goddess Chapman Rice coming through like she does with the
fire a k A s to start the show off,
you know. And I'm glad she's back. You know, took it.
It's been a while. It's been a while. I don't
know what's going on. Maybe you're busy, but you're back.
You're back, uh, and we are thrilled to have in
our third seat. One of the funniest people working. You
know from Comedy Bang Bang, Spontaneous Nation, Harmon Town. He

(01:06):
was the host of Cracked Gets Personal. Uh. You might
know him from The Adult Swim Show and ts F
S D s uv uh and as Mr Goldenfold on
Rick and Morty. He is the hilarious Brandon Johnson. What's
up podcast folks, What's up podcast nations? We got to

(01:31):
sleeping out, We got to sleeping out. Bang. I just
shot a dude in the head. Wh I gotta I
gotta from a vistage black poster. Yeah, I got to
hit him with that. Jim pro Jim Rostance. How are you?
I'm good man, I'm so glad to be here. Thanks
so much for having me. Brandon. We met years ago
Jesus working on the show with Nick thuon NIB The

(01:53):
Nicks Big Talk Show. That's where we first gazed upon
each other and realized we were virgal brothers from other mothers,
from opposite side of the country. But I'm really stop
to see you. Always been a huge fan, man. I
mean we were in San Francisco. Remember we rented that
white limo. We got a big gass house in the
Castro district. We were there for the Comedy Festival. It

(02:14):
was a blast. It was amazing. You have to put
people on some get him hip to Israel to draw
very epic, very politically minded man, and that's I'm like,
you know what, I rock with Brandon. I won. Yeah, Brandon,
what is something premier search history that is revealing about
who you are? Uh? I like birds, man, I was
looking at I was looking at different types of cranes

(02:37):
because I think birds are dope. Here's the thing real quick.
If I can't, can I jump in this real quick?
We got time for this. Here's here's a cool thing
about I'm a religious person, right, I got a I
got a pretty strong faith. And uh, I'm always amazed
that the creator be a he or a she or
a bird or whatever. For you designed a planet, brought
a planet together, and you didn't have to use color,

(02:59):
everything would be dope even if there was no color,
Like I still eat the back if everything was just
on that great scale. But whoever was making the ship,
it was like, um, but then this is a blue jacko. Okay,
so it's trees, right, but not all all trees do
the same ship, like some of Christmas trees and some oranges.

(03:21):
You're like what, and like what about these are these oranges?
I was working with yellow that day, so they limited.
So I'm like, you're getting high watching Planet Earth last
I was high on Planet Earth last night. Um, And
I'm always intrigued by birds because I'm like Jesus, whoever
is designing the planet, sure does have a lot of

(03:44):
extra paint left over for for something that doesn't really
have to come in the many colors. But does What
are the big sort of characteristics of a crane? It's
like super long legs, it's like a tall pigeon um,
and there's not a lot of cranes. And cranes get
confused with other types of birds, Like there's a million
kinds of hawks, but a hawk isn't the same thing
as a raptor, right sonsaur? Like the yeah, like a dinosaur.

(04:09):
They evolved into here this you see. What I'm trying
to tell you is that it's crazy out there if
you look up in these trees. Evolution of Beauty is
a good book for bird fanatics like birds. Also, State
Birds of California is a really good bird book. It
got like the drawings and stuff that identifies that'd be amazing.

(04:29):
A bird book with no illustrations, kind of an orange
ish yellow like his book is useless? Uh, what is
something you think is overrated? Um? Overrated? White People's conversation
on Kanye West's recent outbursts. You can keep that to yourself. Uh,

(04:52):
don't nobody want to hear what you got to say
back on that conversation, because I'm gonna break it down
right lately you you've been hearing the conversation has now
shifted to thank God for childish Campino, right at the
perfect time when Kanye was self destructing. What were we
gonna listen to in our party bus limo this weekend? Hush,

(05:13):
let us grieve, Let us grieve. Man, We're gonna go
get Kanye, bring him back. Y'all don't have ship to say,
because really, all Kanye was staying is the ship that
white people say all the goddamn time. So here's the deal.
If you participate in the destruction of a race and
then that person from that race chimes in with you,

(05:33):
stand down saying nothing because obviously the first thing on
that dude's mind when he loses his mind is how
much he feels disenfranchised. That's what you're here, what you
listen to. It's a black dude being so frustrated with
being black that he actually for a second entertained the
concepts of the other side. And when that happens to us,

(05:54):
as white people, men don't kick us when we down,
and certainly don't treat us like light bulbs and be like,
thank god, we ran out of cheeseburgers at the buffet
and somebody brought in new sliders. Don Grebers, not no
new slider. You don't get access to either one. To
be quite honest with you, that both of them belonged
to us. So to hear white people even have some

(06:16):
ship to say about a condition that they created and
continue to create, makes me a little frustrated. You keep
that now next year when he goes crazy and he
started saying, and he started saying, maybe then chime in,
but right now, the boy said, my wife got attacked.
It broke me down that she got attacked. I supplied security.

(06:38):
My album didn't do well the first time I got
beat by Drake. I don't like that. I don't like that.
He said, Jay ain't been around. My Ace Boom Cool
ain't been around. He said, I'm turning forty whatever. I'm
a little stressed out about that. I made five million
dollars in debt. I'm a little stressed out about that.
And instead of people being like, well he got a

(06:58):
lot going on, he got a like going on, People
were like, huh, do you hear what Kanye said? Like,
do you know what your neighbor said? Do what your
president said? Be do you hear what the average shopkeeper
and a mall says to me every time I go
shopping Until you are outraged that that ship. You can
leave hip hop something that you never were listening to
in the first place. You can leave that ship alone

(07:18):
because hip hop to us a sacred It is the
call from plantation to plantation about when Harry is gonna
stop by and free us. Right, So we don't we
don't need an extra extra commentary, We don't need any
punditry on something that is so very intimate to us.
You can stand down. It would be like be shipping
on all the white women who voted for Trump. Do

(07:38):
you think women want to hear that ship? Women don't
want to hear that ship. They want to be like,
we we'll be over here trying to talk to these ladies,
but we don't need to hear. And men don't get
the right to go after women for any reason, not
even when women act like men call them down with
you With Kanye, though, do you look at him like

(08:00):
you listed all these l's he took in like the
last couple of years, right too, sort of like that
this is a culmination. Do you also just see that
like he might just be ignorant as fuck and it's
not a breaking point, Like he's just kind of you know,
he's so insular, Like he's so insulated, and he's in
Calabasas not really engaged, Like I don't know if he's
really met someone who has an actual job, like and

(08:22):
and understand sort of what the reality is of somebody
who is not a millionaire. Because I mean, black black people,
we all got cousins, right, so even if you get
the yeah, but his are trying to be like y'all
got this laptop with you're fucking on it, I need yeah, exactly.
So that's what that's why I feel like too, because
when t I was talking, he said that when he
spoke with Kanye, Kannie didn't hadn't even heard of the

(08:44):
travel band. Like that's how even off the planet he is.
It's just, yeah, it is a confusing thing. But I
will shout out that like he did make Jesus walks
people can't And a lot of his work has been
about the black community, has been about New Slaves for
Christ's sake, you know, when he did New Slaves, that

(09:05):
was incredible. On SNL, he brought up a ton of
points about Night getting credit for ship on his own album.
But then we watched somebody do This is America on
SNL and we like, we actually act as if we're
watching something different. We're not. We're not watching something different.
He's incredible, Donald Gloss innovative. But I'm just saying, like, damn,

(09:27):
you all get to decide who gets to be anointed
and you're not even in the community. That's not fair.
Like Kanye has been down for a long time. I
think I don't know. Part of me knows when I
see him talk like this now, part of me wonders
if he knew that that's what life was like, or
it just made sense to as a style to market

(09:49):
himself that that was like that, because especially when he
was railing against like this New Slave stuff and trying
to do things differently, and like, you know, he was
talking about all the corporations, this and that, and I
was like, well, then why don't you not do your
tour with a g or something. Why don't you Why
can't you be a little more actually revolutionary rather than
just saying something like that. That's where it rang a
little hollow with me, especially on that album, where I

(10:11):
was just kind of like, you're talking about it, but
not a fucking thing you were doing is actually aside
from rapping about it, I don't see anything in your
life that really it doesn't seem like you were actually
fighting for anything aside from through your music, which is fine,
But at the same time, I don't know if he
can just then annoy himself as some kind of like
revolutionary person and and pump himself up saying like I'm

(10:32):
a lot Disney and all this other ship. It's crazy
because when he came out and he was like, I'm
not getting the amount of respect I deserve in the
fashion world, and a bunch of people pointed out a
very very good fact, which was like, you build Fubou,
you make rock aware, you come up with that, you
don't go over to Louis vatm MOA and Hennessey and
ask them for a directorship because you don't know how

(10:52):
to sell bra But at the same time, Virgil A.
Blow is the head of Louis VA tott up right,
So there was something to what he was saying. No,
for sure, I'm not saying that there wasn't, but it's
it's the parts that were about, like his advocacy for
African American people, for trying to talk about the disenfranchise
from marginalized, that just seemed like it was rhetorical and

(11:14):
it didn't feel quite like, oh, you know what, I'm
actually only hiring, like you know, this union to work
specifically to do this tour, or I'm going to change
the structure of how the money generated from a tour
is distributed and it just doesn't come to a massive
company or whatever. Those are the kinds of But I
don't know. Maybe that's just my take because I have
the point of view to be able to see how

(11:36):
that works. And that's why I'm like, well, I don't
know how much. You know, the dude doesn't read either.
That that's another thing that really bothers me about him.
He doesn't read, and he's he's also like an anti academic. Also, look,
you know, we started the week talking about I don't
like the Kanye Donald Glover comparison because it's not about that,
it's not relevant, it doesn't the only comparison you can
make is that. Yes, they're both artists. Remember when Leo

(11:59):
was Leonardo DiCaprio. I call him Leo because we like that,
you know, which I know is man. Leo rent the
apartment above my house. It's crazy. He's on the down low.
He's like just so humble above me. But we knick
get And I was like, when I was watching people
go back and forth about the comparison, I was like,
it reminded me of Django Man when Lego's in the

(12:20):
living room and he's watching two black dudes fight and
he's like, kill him. That's kind of how Yeah, that's
not that's not productive. Yeah, and it's not don't We
don't need to give people these like messy titles. I
can ordain them things like that, that's not what this
is about, you know. And so that's why I feel
like the conversation conversations are a little bit misguided when
they start creeping in that direction. But anyway, and I

(12:43):
feel like we're doing with Mangazi too, with like you know, guys,
is what we call the whole me too things, like
the whole me too thing, and it's like, Okay, this
guy's on our side, that guy's on their side and
every like it's being charged with like taking sides and
ship and you know, people are being used for the
purposes of this culture world and everybody wants to turn

(13:04):
everything into like different sides that monetize. You know what's
crazy about that movement is didn't nobody go get all
the people that got discriminated against and monetize them, because
it's really what it's about. They didn't empower his victims.
I don't need to pick a side. If you really
want to show me change, show me. Motherfucker's that is
eaten when you talk about we don't like this injustice.

(13:25):
We don't like that injustice unless you go and lift
those people up that that got put down that I
don't really want to hear your punditry. You know, I
started doing these shows where we talk about issues, but
we donate the door to the issue that we talked
about because I was noticing that people sort of made
their money off of the issue. You've got all these

(13:47):
different hosts on TV right now that talk a great game.
You know, John Steward made a ship ton of money
talking to all the problems in the world, but didn't
really get down with black folks. So how are you
going to represent your US? But you don't hire or none,
you're not monetizing the issue because at the end of
the day, you can talk a big game about the ship,

(14:07):
but unless something changes for the people you're talking about,
then you've just made money off of you know, I
like John Oliver buying people's debt. I find it strange
that the only people who are qualified to talk about
the state of America foreigners, right either Brandon, What's something
that's underrated being an ally? Being an ally? There's a

(14:28):
sweet sweet position when you hook people up who or
listened to, or respect or respond to people who are
who are downtrott who are maybe compromised. You know, um,
you don't really get to see what the planet looks
like until you lift up the very people that don't
get a fair shake on it. So I will say

(14:50):
that like handing a burrito to somebody who doesn't have
a burrito is way better than buying a burrito and
a great restaurant. But if you don't know how to
pry just this behavior over tip over tip is the
easiest way to get involved in terms of like what
does it look like when I when I use my
generosity in a typical way, you know, because true power

(15:13):
is when you're able to hook somebody else up. Yeah,
not just not just flex on everybody. Yeah, you want
to bring people up with you? Is your man's eating?
You know, we know you eat. But did you send
your niece to college? Did you hook somebody up with
the very Did you really throw it out there and say,
I got a million bucks, I'm gonna see if I
can make another million by giving this first million away, right,

(15:35):
just just to test myself. Now, a lot of people
can't make a million twice. So I feel you. I
feel you. But let's really crank it up and see
what it looks like. And one of the ways to
crank it up and see what it looks like is
by giving the ship away and being as general. And
it doesn't even have to be money. You know a
lot of people don't realize, especially as an ally, if

(15:55):
you are not, if you're white and you're you can
give opportunities to people to that are just as empowering.
Or you can you can, you can might be you
might interview somebody for a job you might not have otherwise.
But there are so many small ways. It doesn't have to.
I think people think that like you have changed the
world instantly, you know what I mean? If you can
just do incremental change a lot that will build up

(16:16):
over time. Also, it's flexing. It's flexing to stand up
for somebody, if you if you really I love that
people get hard and get get credit for being hard
by hurting somebody, by putting somebody else down. It's it's
incredible that we live in a society that like really
looks up to people who do damage versus your ability.

(16:38):
If you feel marginalized, if you're out there and you
feel like the world has given you an awful, awful
way to go, look over, pull somebody up and see
how much powerful you become. Yeah, because you at least
you're building an army at that point. Yeah. Look, we're
gonna just change the definition of baling to philanthrops. Yeah,
or not really give it away. But it improve the

(17:01):
situations of those around you in any way you can.
And that's why occasionally on the show, I would like
to say, you know, at least contribute to an atmosphere
of positivity or generosity at the very least, if that
even means being kinder or whatever, It's just it's just
something we need to sort of ingrain in ourselves and
be greedy. Man. The reason I'm trying to hook people
up because I want to see what they really do. Like,
I don't know what this planet looks like until it's

(17:22):
actually realized with people who have a quality. So, like
we talked about the Me Too movement is all these
people losing their jobs, and I'm like, bro, how many
people are Harvey Wanston keep out the game? How many people?
How many women directors, producers, actors, writers did we miss
out on? And I mean, if you're not trying to
be kumbaya about the ship on a monetary which is

(17:44):
how we flow out here on just a purely fiscal level,
how much money did we miss out by oppressing women
in the game? How much money do we miss out?
We don't miss out on black Money because black Money
sets up studios, Black Money launched his television networks. When
it comes to other minorities, I always have this theory
that everybody has something that they're really good at. Right,

(18:07):
And let's hypothetically say that lay oceans are the best
of comedy, and that there is a building a loose
where there's a comic and he's got ten people in
front of him, and he's doing the best work in
the world. Like he's funnier than any comedian that we know,
because they Laotian people have a lock on that ship
and we don't know it. And the reason we don't
have good comedy is because we don't hire Laosian comedians. Right,

(18:30):
So my ship is like, what are you doing without?
What are you missing in the world because you're so stupid,
You're so primitive, you dragging your knuckles and trying to
keep people down. You know, maybe it's maybe it's con
from King of the Hill. I was just thinking him
my first you know what, who knows he would be
like had to give up that dream, give my family out.

(18:52):
But I honestly think prejudice and holding other people down
is the only time Hollywood says no to money. And
I don't think they meant necessarily know they're saying no
to money. But you know, all these like pieces of uh,
you know, accepted wisdom that existed with like producers in Hollywood,
Like a black doesn't Travel was a thing that we
saw in those email leaks, the Sony email leaks, when

(19:13):
they were talking about the Denzel Washington Equalizer sequel. They
were like, well, uh, as Denzel is my favorite actor. First,
let me let me let me preface this by saying,
Denzel is my favorite actor, but we cannot green light
Equalizer two because black doesn't travel. And also, I voted
for Obama nine times and I've seen that just because

(19:34):
there's like a slate, a slight break in that damn
of prejudice. And we're getting movies like get Out, and
we're getting movies like you know, Straight out of Compton,
which was like a huge monster out of nowhere hit,
Like they're actually getting some of the money that they've
just been turning down all these years. Because Yeah, I
think in general, just a point of like just a

(19:55):
philosophical thing is if you can just allow things to
flow and you are not abstru doing anything, that is
probably that's always the best way to do. Like when people,
you know, especially like in an entertainment, a lot of
people see other people doing really well and they get
fucking like man, even if it's not verbal and out loud,
it could just be internal. That's you cutting yourself off

(20:16):
from the energy that can flow, that can lift you up,
that other people can or if you're just doing some
hater ship to try and make something difficult for someone else.
Now see, you're using your energy to not to block
shit and rather than it contributed like letting you flow,
look at it like by just being like, yeah, let's
green like this movie. Yeah, let's try this, let's try this.
Ship's popping off. And you know you stand to you
stand to do more by opening yourself up. Yeah, be greedy,

(20:39):
be greedy for a quality, because yeah, it's going to
set you up. Yeah, speaking of greed for a quale.
I mean we've been talking about the war on poverty,
that Martin Luther King Jr. Was starting in on him
when he was assassinated, and that RFK was starting in
on when he was assassinated. And how funny it is
that when they when leaders focus on poverty, they get killed.
But uh, that's you know of the problem. You know,

(21:01):
inequality is still a huge, huge problem. And uh there's
actually a profile in The New Yorker this week of
William Barber, who is a pastor who is like kind
of spearheading this revival of the war on poverty. Uh,
and he's you know, it's happening like he's got a

(21:22):
lot of support and a lot of momentum, and that's
something that, like you were saying, you know, all the
Trump news has drowned out the fact that there is
this big movement that is continuous with Martin Luther King Jr.
Is like the most radical thing that he was trying
to do at the end of his life. So William
Barber is definitely worth looking up. And you know, if

(21:42):
you're looking for ways that you can help equality, he's
a great person to kind of get behind. Let's move
on to myth. What is a myth? What's something people
think is true that you know to be false black
or black crime? All right, I was gonna say the
Compton gun train. What is the Compton gun Compton gun train?
Is this crazy myth that Californians have that there was

(22:05):
a train in the sixties that pulled up with a
bunch of guns on it in the Hood that people
just went and got guns from what there was like
a U n Aid distribution point where they're like, okay,
get your bags of guns, and there's like old everyone
was like an old black uge, like yeah, Compton gun train.
And I have looked and looked and looked to see

(22:25):
if there is any proof of it. And then every
once in a while, like I said, you'll come across
a person who's like, yeah, man, everybody knows about the
Compton gun train, But did you ask yourself? You do
kind of have to ask yourself, like how do you
get weapons into a community where there are no gun stores?
In such an insane right? Right? Um? Compton gun santasy.

(22:53):
So so people can look that up if you can
find out any information on that. I don't necessarily know
if it's true, m hm um, because I think it
would be a bigger story, right, But then again, you know,
I never thought that they were poisoned water flint, right
or like you know, or Rick Ross was out here
working with the government, who knows are indirectly like, how

(23:16):
do you want to look at freeway? Ricky Ross breaking
l a now with the crack. But there is no
such thing as black on black crime. I mean, you know,
like in your own insular family and you strike out,
you hit your sibling. Everybody who hits the person who's
closest to him. It's the same across the board, right, Yeah, yeah,
it is a huge myth. Yeah. Well, of course, the

(23:36):
narrative to be like an you see, yeah, that's the problem,
is this black on black crime. Crime is the problem. Really,
it's class more exactly lack of access to things that
put people's situations where they have to come at crimes
or whatever. But hey, look what, I'm not a sociologist.
We're just a couple of guys on second rate podcast,

(23:57):
my new attack. We moved up from third rate. All right, now,
I do not feeling let's get cocky, let's get second
let us let you know right now if you don't
get us at the first rate, Compton gun train and
gonna make it stop. You don't hear that comes to
gun Santa coming through? All right, We are trying to
take a sample of the national share of consciousness, what

(24:18):
people are thinking and talking about right now in the world. Uh,
And we're going to do that after this break and
we're back. And there were some mid term prims, primaries,

(24:41):
some primaries running in Novemberry and no vmbre as they
say as they who will be in the Congress. So
the one election that we had kind of previewed was
the West Virginia Republican primary because Blanket Ship your your

(25:02):
boy who ran the coal mines and killed lots of
people with just being the worst. Yeah, well luck capital.
I think literally his probation ended last night at midnight.
So what a great day to be like, all right
to France. Uh so yeah, he lost. Uh. The winner
is actually Patrick Morrisey, who I think the Attorney General

(25:23):
of West Virginia. But he also has an uphill battle
because Joe Manchin, who is the Democratic Senator, he is
by far the most conservative Democrats senator in in the Senate.
But yeah, he's a huge figure in West Virginia. But
this guy who won, Patrick Morrisey, you know, he's got
some negatives to I think one thing that they'll probably
hit him on. His wife was a lobbyist who did
a lot of work with Cardinal Health, which is very

(25:45):
well known in West Virginia because they fucking flooded the
state with opioids, like between two thousand seven and two
thousand twelve, they shipped two forty one million doses of
hydrocodone and oxy codon into the state. It's interesting because
on one hand, you have the coal industry, which has
blood on his hand, and then you have cardinal Health,
which also does too. In the state that has been
just completely devastated by the opioid epidemics, So we'll see

(26:07):
how that shapes up. Another interesting person who also won
last night is this guy, Richard Ajita, who was running
for I think the third district in Congress, and he's
a pro gun rights, army veteran. He's a state senator
right now, but he like supports the teachers strike. He's
like a pro labor guy, like he's getting the backing
of the coal miners. He's like trying to reform marijuana laws.

(26:29):
But he also voted for Trump, and his whole thing
was like, yeah, I'm running as a Democrat. He's like,
I voted for Trump and sort of regional solidarity. But
he goes, but my god, this last year has been
a ship show. And he's like, this guy is not
a president. This guy is a mess. Like he's very
clear on what is wrong with the president. But you know,
he's a very interesting candidate and I think would do
quite well as exciting as he is as a candidate.

(26:52):
Guys don't vote out a regional solidarity. Yeah yeah, but
that's not good. But you know what that for for?
That just shows you how fluid, though, like the politics
are in that state because like, for I'm pretty sure
West Virginia still has more redstered Democrats, you know, because
I used to be a solid blue state. But it's
fluid there. Maybe it's like, yeah, you can be a
Democrat and vote for Trump, you can be a Republican
and be superlibered. Like It's just it's very different there.

(27:14):
So he's in a unique situation. Also, we have the
first incumbent to lose a primary in North Carolina because
his opponent was just hitting him on the one point
three trillion dollars spending bill. So that shows you a
lot of people they might still be fiscal conservative, some Republicans,
and they did not like that. So that's Trump's budget.
He put together one point three trillion dollars worth of

(27:35):
spending and that is like anti what you would expect
from uh, fiscally conservatives. Absolutely, And to the fact that
he was getting hit on that by his primary opponent
shows you that some people are probably starting to I
don't know, at least in that district, maybe the Trump
is um was wearing thin a bit. Also, a former
NFL wide receiver Anthony Gonzalez, won his Republican primary bid

(27:57):
in Ohio against a tea Party want to be Chris Hagan.
So it seems like you know that the fiery rhetoric
of the tea Party is not working so much in
the primaries. There. Uh, let's see what else. Also, sheriff's
a couple of sheriffs that were working with ICE to
basically get to get detain undocumented immigrants in North Carolina.
They were voted out Tuesday, So fucking stay honest. Uh.

(28:19):
And again gotta shout out to women because women won
nominations in nearly every Democratic race they contested in tuesday. Ohio,
West Virginia I think had the most, but basically eighteen
women won the nomination out of twenty three Democratic primaries
in which at least one woman ran. So I'm telling you, sorry, women,
you have to save us again. Thank you for doing it.

(28:40):
Though honestly, if some of us would be you know,
yeah I would, I would still be wearing bell crow shoes. Uh, wounds,
Like you're an adult, you need to get it together.
You will not get a job. And look at me now,
I have shoelaces. So yeah, I mean overall, you know,
not nothing crazy, but just a lot to a lot
to look at. That is a good point though. I

(29:01):
mean the amount of strength and courage and just persistence
it takes to just live a normal life as somebody
who's you know, held down by the system that's in
place is incredible. And then to be out here like
being like we got it from here is fucking amazing.
And also, one of Donald Trump's accusers also won her
primary bid for US but it was uncontested. But however,

(29:24):
you know, she won. She won, she wons, so maybe
she'll she'll do something. But yeah, sisters are doing it
on their own. All right. We want to talk about
some news that was big breaking news in the last
twenty four hours in half the country, and uh, we'll
talk about how the other half of the country is
greeting this news. But so Michael Abanati came out and

(29:47):
just dropped some a who's also very tan by the way,
for somebody, yeah, very tan man. I spend a lot
of time at Lake at the Ozarks. So you guys
understand that he is a fellow St. Louis South side.
Uh huh he is. I'm not allowed to go over there,
and you stay on the east side. I'm on the

(30:11):
middle of Saint Louisan a little town called University City,
Yo with Nellie. Yeah, so you know, slowdown from the lunatics.
Remember him. He was a dude where the Spider Man mask? Alright,
because because he yodels from Louis start. Heyah, Cobra, thank you.

(30:34):
Seventeen year old impression of Nellie. Thank you. It's good
because because the Yodo kid is bringing that ship back
and getting all this credit. But Nellie, Nellie was the first.
Natalie was yeah, h Miles, tell us what Michael, God Michael,
And I, first of all, I want to say that
he is either the coolest guy ever who I'm loving

(30:55):
every second of what he's saying because he makes me
feel like he has so many received eats, or he's
the biggest, fullest shit guy ever and we can't believe
a fucking word he says. That's what I was always
modulating in over the last few weeks. When he come
and goes, he'll be like, he'll be our Rachel, Rachel, Rachel,
the things that are gonna come out, Buckle your seat
belts and you're like, man, funk out of here, like
let me see something or shut the funk up. And

(31:17):
so yesterday he pulled showed up something showed us something
for sure. So he talks about this company, Essential Consultants, LLC,
which is the LLC that made the payment to Stormy Daniels.
Brill named yes, and according to their findings, they say
they exist as a real estate consulting company that collects
fees for investment consulting work. Yeah. Okay, so this company

(31:38):
was created in October seventeen sixteen, most likely for the
sole purpose of obscuring this payment to Stormy Daniels. As
they look into it, though, things got a little bit murkier.
So first of all, this thing is like the textbook
definition of a shell company. Like there's no employees other
than Michael Cohen. They have no front facing anything, no website,
nobody's heard of him. They don't you say they you

(31:59):
mean he essentially yeah? They Yeah, I'm sorry, I used
that pronound very uh loosely. Yes, he has nothing uh,
no public presence at all. Uh. And it's clear that,
based on this first transaction Stormy Daniels, that this company
is set up for the sole purpose of making transactions
that benefit the president. So clearly he would not do

(32:24):
the Stormy Daniels payment and then like go on to
do more shady ship with that same shell company. Right,
oh Jack, right now, that was a great set up
because of course he fucking did this. These guys are
so dumb. So first off, let's just get through the ship.
That would normally be a huge scandal. He received one

(32:45):
point two million dollars from no artists, the huge pharmaceutical company.
Uh and because you know, I don't know why, they
thought that he could advise the company as to how
the Trump administration might approach certain US healthcare policy matters,
including the Affordable Care Act. Yeah, okay, so from just
straight up lobbying, like well, if you're a lobbyist, like
you have to register as a lobbyist because you have

(33:06):
to let it know that money is a lobbying expenditure,
and there's a whole above board way of saying. Yeah.
The reason when we have that system in place, right
is because otherwise it's just like, Hey, I know this
guy and I'm gonna pay him some money and he's
gonna do this thing over here for me, and it's
the mafia instead of the fucking US government or the
FEC or what to be able to basically monitor what's
going on. So yes, that's the first one. So yeah,

(33:29):
let's give him the benefit of doubt. Maybe Michael Cohen
knows a lot about the A C. A. And he's
you know, he knows about you know, just what these
how to stabilize these Obamacare Mark. Yeah, Okay, that he's
the guy for that, and let's just be generous to
say that. And so he also received two hundred thousand
dollars from A T and T, which is cool too.
What's weird though, is in that time all these payments

(33:50):
were received after the inauguration, mind your wants the president
of power. You know, around this time, A T and
T is in front of the d o j's Anti
Trust Commission to whether or not they're going to approve him.
A jer between A T and T and Time Warner.
So I don't know that. Maybe he's starting to stink
like a little bit. I don't know. He also received

(34:10):
money from a Korean aerospace company for like insights. I'm
sure that's what they will say to but so far,
at best, it looks like some kind of pay to
play scheme. Yeah, and the Korean aerospace company's incoming CEO
had dinner with the President after they made that payment.
So there's evidence that there is pay to play ship

(34:32):
going on, as this alone, just those what we've talked
about already is just straight up scandalous, scandal like corruption.
That's how a corrupt government work. Not dig him out.
You pay this dude's homie, the president's like buddy, and
he then gets you to have dinner with the president.
Like that's just that is straight up textbook corruption. And

(34:55):
it's even made worse when you look at certain factors
like a T and T like doing a huge merger
right and then they're like especially when he blocks other merger.
This alone is just swamp bullshit to begin with, all
this ship obviously it was all empty bullshit Trump was
running on. But this right here, I mean, they need
to answer this in a way that isn't just like, oh,
I don't know. Because Michael Anati was also saying, well,

(35:15):
if you have anything that proves what I'm saying is wrong,
please show me those bank statements, because I have the motherfucking' receipts.
And now you're just gonna have to go figure out
how you're gonna lie. You're right out of this one.
So moving on that alone is a scandal. Now this
is where it gets. This will get to the holy
shit party. So we first, yeah, yeah, In January two

(35:37):
thousand seventeen to August seventeen, Coin received payments totally five
hundred thousand from Putin pal slash oligarch Victor Vexelberg through
the Russians US based company called Columbus Nova. But that's
impossible because didn't we have sanctions against that guy? Well,
hold on, now, this is a US based company. In
their statement, they're like, no, this, this company is entirely

(35:58):
US owned. This is a surd blah blah blah. We'll
check this ship out. Vexelberg's cousin is technically an American
and he's the one who runs the company. So it
says his cousin's company that he's left with. Yes, and
also that company was listed as a subsidiary of a
much larger sanctioned Russian company, so again thinks like bullshit.

(36:21):
And now the thing that's very just kind of odd
is that the timing of it, This money came in
around January, you know, Michael Avenati, not that he was
saying directly, but it was offering like maybe we can
speculate was did the Russians actually fund this payment, because
Michael Avnati said he pulled out a like a home
equity loan or whatever to pay to make pay Michael,

(36:43):
Michael said, that's how he got the hundred thirty Yeah,
but he hasn't verified that. There's no there's no bank
record of that, or that he's presented that that verifies that.
But we do see that suddenly he makes hunt thirty
thousand dollar payment and then boom, you get five hundred
thousand dollars for a Russian oligarch that they can't even
explain what it is. My kids couch front, Yeah, whatever,

(37:03):
my kids couch front. I got a loan for a Corvette.
What's the big deal? I got a deal in four
taxim me down. I was going to build a pool,
so I got a loan. His dream car is definitely
a Corvette. And so yes, we don't know what is
going on, because if you just take the company stuff alone,
it's very hard to believe that of all the lobbyists

(37:26):
you could go to, of all the lawyers, if you're
really trying to get that, Michael Cohen is the person.
I mean, this is Michael Avanati yesterday on MSNBC talking
about it where someone was like just trying to speculate, like, well,
what if maybe he is an expert? Right, are you
suggesting that Michael Cohen does not have a PhD in
Aerospace technology and pharmaceutical policy. I'm not only going to

(37:47):
suggest that, but I'm gonna stay real questions. I don't
want to, but I don't want to. This guy's the
Da Vinci of our time. Okay, two questions, still taking shots.
Shout out to Michael Avonati, but to Yeah, it's just
a sure pay to play whatever could be. But this
other thing is now looking like, is this the scenario
in which the Russians were like bankrolling certain aspects of

(38:09):
the campaign, Whether that's like silencing people who we're gonna
bring up stories that could damn as a campaign or
what other ship, It just opens up a huge can
of disgusting worms. And the other thing to note is
that when this guy Vexelberg was in the States last
the FBI met him at the airport and straight up
copied everything on his computers and film. So they've already

(38:31):
been having their eye on this guy. So I mean,
it's just, you know, this ship gets crazier and crazier
so then to cap that off, right, this thing just
sheds the light on the roaches and they go scattering.
Trump this morning is now basically like threatening the press
with their credentials, Like he was saying like, oh, all
this negative press, like I get it's fake news. Maybe

(38:53):
I should just stop giving them access, maybe take away
their credentials. I mean, that doesn't seem like a coincidence
that the day after this ship breaks, now he's talking
about how fucked up the press is. It's just that's
just a sign to everybody that yeah, this this is
as shitty is it? And they're also inquiring into allegations
that suspicious activity reports on Cohnes banking transactions were improperly disseminated.

(39:15):
So basically, you know, instead of proving him wrong, and
I he keeps feeling like proving me wrong if if
if I'm wrong, you know too, where's the proof that
you have to contradict this proof? Instead of providing that proof,
they are going with the wait, how do you find that? Right?
Which is as you said, somebody is they're talking about
the leaks that that's being yeah, improperly disseminated. Is basically

(39:38):
them saying like, how do you find that these are
being leaked, which it's not uncommon at all for journalist, lawyers,
others in the public eye to receive unauthorized That how
people end up becoming accountable for ship because you find out, oh,
we know you're dirt, and that's that logic is so
fucking stupid and it betrays the actual point. And I'm
saying this earlier. That's like a man getting caught cheating

(40:00):
on his wife and she's like, excuse me, why the
fund do I have this picture of you making out
with her at the fucking shakes Shack And he goes,
let me see that. How the fund did you get
who took this photo? How the fund did they get?
What the fund is going on? No, you are missing
the whole point. Maybe you don't read my diary, right, Yeah,
it's like you've been caught. Don't then go why did

(40:22):
you catch me? Know the fun are you talking? Explain
your fucking actions? Are they talking about spit it right
back at you? What are you doing here? And just
I want to put this in the context of something
we were talking about either earlier this week. Time is
a flat circle and a complete BLURR at this point,
But we were talking about the fact that Trump was

(40:45):
buying up all these golf courses with his own money, Uh,
which is weird because quote unquote his quote quote unquote,
he's buying him with cash, and he had always been
buying stuff with debt. That was the way. He was
known as the debt King because he is good at
nicknames and also because like he just needed to uh

(41:05):
you know, that's how that's the smart way to finance
uh purchases like giant purchases, and suddenly starts buying all
these golf courses with cash. That people are like, where
the fund is he getting this cash from. And it's
at a time we have Eric Trump, his uh, you know,
less intelligent son bragging to a golf dot com reporter. Uh,

(41:25):
we have a bunch of guys in Russia who really
love golf courses. And Uh. Something that I didn't emphasize
enough is that this is at a time when Russian
oligarchs and the people surrounding Putin are doing everything in
their power just looking for ways to get their money
out of Russia. They're just looking for anyone who will
accept their money because we were freezing their money, freezing

(41:48):
Putin's money because he was like we were talking about
becoming the richest man in the world unofficially by just
you know, acquiring everything illegally within Russia and then you know,
just giving it to cellists and like his friends, you know,
like just literally like I hold this three billion, essentially
embezzling like the entire nation's money. And now he is

(42:11):
supposedly like almost twice as rich as Bezos, who is
supposedly the richest person to ever live. Putin is way
rich as So you imagine that conversation. Yeah, so we
have a lot of smoke in the golf courses thing
to think something shady is going on there with oligarchs. Uh,
and now this comes out and it's like they're just

(42:33):
directly taking payments from oligarchs. Yeah. Well that's the thing
with the election was if you were if part of
being like African American or a minority in the United
States was you knew that white people weren't really going
to do anything because other white people were in control.
So even though Hope and then that came out that
you heard people from the Republican Party being like in
the deep Deep South, we're like, you know, Putin's got ideas,

(42:56):
because as long as it's not eaty, I mean, as
long as it's not somebody from Brazil taking over, then
it's the same old management company, just has a Russian
front now with a different accent. Yeah, so we're gonna
let these dudes walk all over us because it's the
They may be the only dudes that can save the race,
right right, Yeah, I mean I think there's a lot

(43:18):
of like implicit passive white supremacy going on just under
the cover, Like while the open ship is coming out
and people are like where is this coming from, there's
a lot of the undercover ship going um, all right,
we're gonna take another quick break and then we'll come
back with uh some conversation about how this is being

(43:38):
received on the right at all, if at all, as
well as some interesting lighter fair we'll be right back.
We're back. And uh So I've been tracking this story
because every time there's a story that seems to me like, okay,

(44:00):
this is irrefutable evidence that there's funery going on, I
start looking at right wing sites. This story was top
of the page on Drudge with like the spinning siren
light thing that yeah, yeah, like that's the Cohen allegedly
received payments from Oligarch shock claim. He said, like this

(44:23):
Drudge recognized what a huge story this is. Uh, but
presumably because people weren't clicking on it. It is just
like fallen down the page. Uh. Fox News, the way
they've covered this story is Trump lawyer Michael Cohen paid
by these companies. That's the that's the headline. So they
just tell you a T and T here, like the

(44:45):
most just boring way to possibly cover that. Do they
mention in that one that combos novas? They do, but
it's at the bottom of the whole article. It's like
a T and T did this that just make it
seem as normal as possible. Spend a lot of words
on that, and then they get to the oligarch at
the very bottom of an article that couldn't be more

(45:07):
titled to make people just I'm looking at it right now. Yeah,
it's at the very bottom and the font sizes I
think one. And even National Interview, which the last time
I was really paying attention to National Review, it seemed
like they were more kind of mainstream conservatives who are like,

(45:28):
this guy's crazy, but you know he's a Republican, So
who knows. Uh. Now they've just gone with this incredibly
strongly worded, uh just overblown, uh you know, thing about
how Trump is being railroaded and there's a conspiracy. Uh
and like to the point that it's almost like convincing

(45:49):
the way they lay it out. Uh. And they talk
about his polls rising, and you know, just because they're
between forty five and fifty percent. They're like saying that,
like he has a a lot of popular support. That's
really terrible for somebody who's having economic success. But you know,
it's just it's not an opinion piece either, Like I
was looking for the place where it said, like this

(46:11):
is just a opinion piece from our most right wing person.
It's just like a top article on National Review. Um.
And they don't provide any motive for why there would
be a giant conspiracy against Trump to make all of
this stuff happen. But it just makes me realize that
I don't think they're ever going to give in, Like

(46:32):
I don't know what the situation is where they're going
to believe, Okay, this guy is fucking corrupt, Like I
just they're not gonna because because he's the figurehead, it's
sessions it's the underlings that are doing actual things. Trump
is a distraction. It's a beautiful thing that we've got

(46:53):
set up here where your president is making you watch
him on a daily basis. It's mandatory so you can
find out they're not. You're on the list of people
he's attacking. But then his underbosses, and I use a
mafia term for a reason, that's right, his right, These
guys down here, they're doing fake scams like cigarette sales
and parking metersmon right, and deportations and the murders and

(47:18):
the militarization of the police force. That's my think, that
is what's going on. So they're never gonna let this
this ship go away because they're like, oh, yeah, I
guess he's guilty of that. Yeah. Well because also you know,
they got their wet dream of that tax scam and
massive wealth redistribution, so like it's easy to be like,
you know, that's the same way like Roy Blunt earlier
this week was like, well, I'd be mad if we

(47:39):
weren't getting so much done, And that just shows you know,
they're not really about governance. They're just about you know,
corporate profiteering. This is cleptocracy. But I mean, this is
something we talked about a long time ago. I think
it was uh, maybe even before we were releasing episodes
of this idea that there could be a second civil
war in the United States, because there was this article

(47:59):
where they interviewed a guy who has spent his whole
life just basically around civil wars on three different continents,
and he cites five conditions that support his prediction of
a coming civil war. It's entrenched national polarization with no
obvious meeting place for resolution, increasingly divisive press coverage and

(48:20):
information flows, weakened institutions, notably Congress in the judiciary, and
a sellout or abandonment of responsibility by political leadership, and
then finally the legitimization of violence as the quote in
way to either conduct discourse or solve disputes. I think
we have literally everything except that last step. It's the
political part that we don't have. What was the political thing?

(48:44):
I think it's number four sell out or abandonment of
responsibility by political leadership. We're not quite there. I think
there's a small group within the government that are there,
but I think most people still, yeah, are just kind
of like, what the fun is going on. I mean,
they're still leading. We just don't like what they're but
they actually are full tilt leading, right. But what gives
out first that or people like coming together and deciding

(49:08):
like Fox News is going to give in on this
and say that Mueller was right to investigate the president.
I think honestly, the only way at least these media
companies are gonna do it is if it actually affects
their profits, so that that will be the calculus for
maybe a news network. I think for the voter, it's
going to be slightly harder because they have to you know,
like we were saying, people don't like to admit they've

(49:29):
made a mistake and if and that's why a lot
of like, you know, we're talking like is it that
they don't care or that they just need to ignore
that news because they don't want to be confronted with
like any kind of reporting that, oh, dude, this guy
is fucked up. It's easy to be like it's fake
news because you don't want to read that, you don't
want to hear about that, you don't want to know
that maybe your mom was a groupie with John Denver,

(49:50):
you know, back in the seventies. Maybe she was. I
don't know. Look, I'm just I'm just talking out loud
about my life. So but at the same time, you know,
it's like it's about you just want to bare your
head in the stand. And I think those people really
would care because obviously, when it's a Democrat, it's easy
to turn that outrage on because you're diametrically opposed to them.
It's not that there for like fucking baby, Yeah, democrats

(50:11):
can do their thing too. I feel like, I don't know,
I think it's just hard to come around to accept
what is going on because that would, by association, be like,
oh well, am I completely like having normal scruples. Think
about how are we not in a civil war currently? Right?
I think about the two ways that the two sides
react to somebody within their party being accused of sexual

(50:34):
assault or having sexual assault proven. You know, people on
the left are like, all right, it looks like you
have the evidence, so we're going to accept that this
person needs to step down. And on the right, he's
still president and they're just actively ignoring it. So, uh,
I don't know. I think the left is not responding
any better than the right. Now we have fall guys,

(50:56):
for sure, right, but it ain't. We're not giving up
the people that we know. I mean, they're talking about
Louis coming back, so it's only been eight months, so
with a surface of the sun hot take. So I
don't know that worry any better than they are when
it comes to that. I mean, we started to decline
when we had rich Democrats around the Kennedy era. You

(51:20):
were allowing really bad behavior from a very wealthy Catholic
Um Democratic family. And liberals got wealthy because of the
Civil Rights movement. They got grants at universities, they got
all sorts of perks. Property value is part of that,
in that it became cool to live in certain areas
we don't consider. The perfect example is we know that

(51:42):
the Republicans in the far right will do things like
pull people out of their cars when they arrest him
um and when they pull them over for traffic stops.
We associate that with Republicans. But the other version of
a lynching is gentrification. It is incredibly violent, it costs lives.
Some would say it is brings police to neighborhoods. Is
new white neighbors who move into primarily POC neighborhoods. But

(52:06):
liberals don't self police. If somebody asked me, what's one
of the things that I can do in stopping the
Trump administration, and as always I say, don't try to
go against, don't try to to march against, start marching for,
try to come with. The one thing you could do
is slow the gentrification. If you slow the gentrification down
as a liberal, something that's within your hands, then we

(52:28):
wouldn't have to worry about what the right is doing.
That's what I'm saying about the power of using white
privilege is to get people off of our backs. Not
to fight your boy, because we're not. You ain't gonna
be effective against your racist uncle. But you could sponsor
one kid, right, Yeah, you can bring up other Yeah,
you one person alone cannot take this thing on. But yeah,

(52:49):
if you're uplifting other things and creating a coalition of
allies of people that are actually focused on the thing,
that isn't just to be opposed something, but to just
be like, well, funk that well that that time will come.
We can figure out how to do that. Because ultimately,
it doesn't matter how many people are in the streets.
Trump would probably not resign for any fucking So I
think what you can do is focus on, yeah, getting

(53:09):
midterm candidates in there that literally go block to block,
hand to hand combat when it comes to kindness. Because
I'm gonna be real honest. People want to talk about
this election and how it got stolen and that Bernie
did this, the Democrats did this. But if y'all motherfucker's
had showed up when they were suppressing forty black votes
in Ohio, if people had gotten behind the Michigan suppression,

(53:30):
then we wouldn't be here because we didn't lose by
that many votes. It's one of those issues where it's like, honestly,
we've been in a civil war. We are already in
a civil war. If people would just put the fires
out in their neighborhood, maybe go block to block to block,
then we would stand a better chance. We would have
to keep trying to elect people. We all need to
get no motherfucker a job where he goes to d C.

(53:52):
We need to talk to each other grass roots. You
get a farmer's market in your motherfucking neighborhood, but you
can't figure out how to feed people. This is the
craziest ship about this country is that we have these
incredible incredible problems that we act as if we didn't
create them and we don't know how to solve them.
Jeff Bezos, dumbass, came out talking about how we I'm
rich and I'm brand new to the game of philanthropy,
what can I do? He said this on Twitter, and

(54:13):
I was like, my man, logistics is your motherfucking game.
How are you gonna tell? And if you're not gonna
just kick down a hundred, you got six billion. If
you're not gonna kick down twenty six billion, let's just
cap it at a hundred. Then the least you can
do is not underpaying my grandma when she works on
one of your motherfucking warehouses. People act like the conversation
has to be so huge. It's not huge. You know,

(54:35):
damn well, if you're looking at an item that should
cost thirty dollars and it only costs three, like, motherfucker,
I got robbed twenty seven to make it for you.
That's what you know in your heart of hearts. You know,
damn well, Whole foods just corrupt, But you begging for
him to come in your neighborhood. You know what the
food desert is, but you're begging to see what the
hell you guys can get done through legislation. Legislation. Your

(54:56):
dollar is your legislation, you know. So it's crazy to
me because we act like, oh man, what are we
gonna do? Yeah, you know what to do. Yeah, you've
been very simple. Sixth grade, sixth great talk. But also
the thing too about those points of the with the
conditions for civil war, I think the judiciary is held
up for the most part too. They've definitely served as

(55:18):
a check. I mean, not that you were saying that
we're close to that or anything, but yeah, it's interesting
when you look at those things. Those are definitely aspects
of this government or our country that are starting to
to deteriorate a little bit. Yeah, especially now that when
you consider the amount of like judiciary appointees that the
GOP is stacking in there, Like they're really trying to
put just you know, fucking people who don't even know

(55:39):
the law in there, who are just like do their
dirty work. So anyway, those are the forces at work.
But let's get to some lighter fair I mean, the
judiciary is about to you know, come in and say
that the travel ban is okay. And speaking of the
travel ban. I think the travel ban is trying to
cover up a conspiracy that we need to think about.

(55:59):
Now now, let me let now over. There was a
Flat Earther's convention or conference in Birmingham, England, back in April.
Uh and man, there were a lot of takes coming
out of this flat earther is. Now, if you don't
know what the fun a flat earther is, that is
a dumb fucking person who denies sing hey, hey, hey,

(56:19):
not that you are? How fucking arrogant are you that
you go? No, the Earth is flat? Despite have you
been across the Atlantic Ocean? Where in England? Where would
all the water go if the Earth was flat? That's
the first question I have, Like, don't you think it
would just run off the planet? Well, look, apparently, I
don't know. I can't begin to understand how this works anyway,

(56:39):
So they're out here caping for the flat Earth. Now,
one of the hot takes that came out of there
is one of my favorite things. Now, I know the
Zeit gang is international, and I know we've got people
in the UK. We also have people in Australia. All right, now,
if I can tell you now, I know I don't
know if these Australian people are real, because according to
this theory, Australa really is actually not real. According to

(57:02):
this one, it is a hoax made for us to
believe that Britain moved and I'm now I'm quoting someone's
insane Facebook post. Uh, it was made for us to
believe that Britain moved over their criminals to someplace. In reality,
all these criminals were loaded off the ships into the waters,
drowning before they could see land. Ever, again, it's a
cover up for one of the greatest mass murders in history,
made by one of the most prominent empires. Australia does

(57:24):
not exist. All things you call quote unquote proof are
actually well fabricated lies and documents made by the leading
governments of the world. Your Australian friends, they're all actors
and computer generated personas part of the plot to trick
the world. If you think you've ever been to Australia,
you are terribly wrong. The plane pilots are all in
on this and have actually uh fully flown you two

(57:46):
islands close nearby or in some cases parts of South America,
where they have cleared space and hired actors to act
out as real Australians. Oh wow, so yeah, this this
is this is the level of discourse that we're dealing
with right now. Um, Australia's fake have been to Australia.
First of all, I know actors, you can't get them

(58:07):
to be that good. Yeah, you might get out of
two thousand, you might get like five good ones. Have
you made a fucking boggin? I mean, fucking hell, Mike, Yeah,
the fucking I don't know. I mean maybe every Australian
person just has trained at WAPPA, the Western Australian arch
Conservatory School or something, and that's where they're turning out
these acts. I mean. To be fair, though, Australians are

(58:29):
taking over the acting game because they cheat. Yeah, everybody, man,
everybody always has this debate. Let me tell you how
this game works. Every time it gets expensive for American actors,
we just go ahead and go abroad. That's what we do. Hey,
can you do an American accident? Right? We're like, oh, man,
go to Ireland, man, because Tom Cruise want too much money,
So go get us a can fero real quick. So
all y'all Australians, man, welcome, man, come on over man,

(58:49):
but we know who you are. Scabs scabs there? Yeah,
what have I mean? Isn't that such an aggressive idea
thought to have that you could imagine that an entire
country is a fabricated like Disneyland, where they're just like
actors to pretend they're living a life. Bro, it wasn't movies.

(59:10):
And in Blockbuster movies. You know when you will go
to Blockbuster and you will look up at the shelf
and it it would be cases a movie and was really
movies in there? Okay, No, you guys think about that.
They're like, you had to take it to the front.
That's right. I got taken to the front. Especially want
to get a Supernintendo game to rent. I mean, what
do you mean you don't have Street Fighter two? It's
still out. I've been coming for three weeks. Fighter man.

(59:33):
I was used to be pissed the fucking Blockbuster by
my kid never had Street Fighter two, and I needed
it so bad my mom wouldn't buy it for me anyway.
I digress. Also, all that technology and we can't do ship.
So let make it this straight. There's a whole fake continent,
but I can't seem to get stuff at two o'clock
in the morning that I need for the next day
because Target closes. No, dude, we don't waste it like

(59:54):
that on ship like that. Not really closed. Come on,
Target is not really close. You think Target closes? Come on, brother,
Target is a state of mind and we have a
big one on all the back as man of color
in this country, my brother. See, you want to talk
about Target, I ain't talking about the retail space. You
know I'm talking. I'm talking about the destruction of black bodies,

(01:00:14):
my man in this country. That's Target, bro, And you
can call it TARJ. Whatever the fun you wanted to.
I know what the fun is going on anyway. Hilarious, Brandon, hilarious.
