Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of Okay.
It's like Puter the radio trend album. Have you seen
have you heard that album? Man, it's a good rock album. Dude.
Oh I love I love Radio's head. Oh man, this
is what it was like to drink with me when
(00:21):
I was in my twenties. Radio trend may try and
trying and trying and trying. Dude, try and understand what
the singers saying in this song right now. You're not
gonna believe it, he said, Hitler, hair do making me feel?
Oh man, I am jack That over there, Well that's miles.
(00:47):
This here. These are some things that are trending right now. Tesla,
the company that makes cars that make us go room
room without the gas um that'd recall only one thousand
for tail light issue three. One thousand car recall for
their cars. This is apparently the nineteen recall this year
(01:10):
for the A lot. I don't know how common recalls are,
but I know my car, which I will say is
a Master three. Okay, five door, thank you. Uh don't
have a lot of alright, mad bound oh get busy child?
No zoom zoom used to be it? Yeah, I think so. Yeah, okay,
(01:33):
zoom zoom zoom, and it was like some weird, like
problematic like African theme. I remember they had that ship anyway,
had like the ghost of a child be like and
you're like, oh my god, and like a person waking
up from his dream, like oh my god. Fuck, it's
like a nightmare. Uh. But then also on top of that,
the stock price it's trending because of that. I guess
(01:53):
it's the Tesla stock is at a fifty two week low,
and that's supposed to be the good one. That's his Uh,
that's his good one, that Elon Musk, all the companies
and Tesla's post be good one and not so good
today buster. Yeah. So I don't know. I mean I
think for for the for many people who are watching,
(02:14):
we're like wow, and watch how this affects everything else.
Elon Musk does, Yeah, price saw this coming and let
Trump back on Twitter Twitter the weekend. I meant, I
meant to lose all this money. That's why it's hard
to write because we talk about this all the time
of like, who has nefarious goals in mind with getting
Elon Musk to buy Twitter? How much of it is
(02:36):
big idiot just screwing it up on his own and
it just feels like everything's true. At the same time
comes I'm like, damn, it would suck if this thing
goes down, And then also like, damn, this dude really
is a fucking he's he has no idea what he's doing.
I'm sure they are like some wealthy shrewd uh. You
(02:56):
know authoritarians out there who were like this, Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
definitely let him take over Twitter. That would be freaking hilarious. Um,
but I don't. My guess would be he's not in
on it. And the vast majority of him coming on
taking over Twitter and absolutely bricking one of the most
(03:18):
important websites in existence was what was more people buying
into the myth that forms around anybody with toxic This
guy takes l after L with every company he's been
a part of. Yeah, Like, there's nothing about him that
aside from like the fake myth that he created PayPal,
(03:41):
which he did not Like. He's just like he's gliding
off a lot of like bad articles. People like wait,
hold on, what what what what is this I just
learned about you? Okay, so this is like me at
the magazine Rack in the nineties, taking L after L
because I like that magazine E L L E L magazine. Yeah,
(04:05):
that was that was a hit. We all liked it,
didn't we, folks? Um? Yeah, man fits with my personae,
the person who would read L good on thank you.
I was just waiting. I was lingering until you told
me it was a good like you know what. It
took a second to marinade, but I like it. Yeah.
But anyways, Twitter continues to I don't know, he so
(04:28):
that that that's something that happened over the weekend. We'll
talk about a little bit tomorrow. How how worried we
should all be? Um? But he he did a poll
and then said, hey, the people have spoken. Donald Trump
is a lab back on Twitter, his account is back. Um.
Somebody pointed out that his his use of that quote
(04:49):
wasn't great, um, and Bellinger said, if you're going to
quote something to seem smart, it's a good idea to
go to the original source. So he tweeted something like
volks populi both day like voice of people, voice of God. Uh,
what what can I say? And the English translation of
that speech that he's quoting is and those people should
(05:12):
not be listened to. Who keeps saying the voice of
the people is the voice of God, since the riotous
nous of the crowd is always very close to madness.
Uh So, he's you know, he's a learned man. He's
one of those folks, a real, real stupid person. You know,
my favorite philosopher. A lot of people say Aristotle, but
(05:32):
my favorite philosopher is Elon mus Voltaire Voltaire, first Voltaire
because I like all the stuff he had to say
about white supremacy in the twentieth century. And then uh
second favorite, elonmak Uh Yeah, Bob Iger another one of
these sort of narcissistic personalities that the mainstream media loves to.
(05:56):
Just gobble it up, don't we um. He came in
and basically, like so a year ago, you know, he
was doing his big farewell tour and he was retiring
and he's this big celebrity CEO. Everybody was like, what
are they gonna do without him? And he picked a
successor who has the same name as him. Basically they
(06:18):
have the same first in middle names. They're both Robert Allen,
Robert Allen Eger, and Robert Allen something else. Yeah. That
that he basically came disappeared that guy parts unknown, the
former CEO of Disney. They're just like, yeah, nice triasshole. Um.
And now Bob Iger is back and everyone is celebrating
(06:39):
stock to the moon. Um. I mean it looks like
the CFO like and other executives got real panicked on Friday,
and we're like, okay, based on the quarterly earnings and
like I guess complaints from inside the company, we want
to welcome you back, Bob. Yeah. So this this stuff
(07:00):
that has happened in the past year, that was presumably
all totally started within the past year, right, you know, Yeah,
no ideas carried over. It was a completely new regime.
And Bob Ikers, a handpicked successor, probably had nothing to
do with any of the mistakes. Uh or or bob
(07:21):
Iker presumably had nothing to do with any of the mistakes. Um.
And it was all this new guy who went rogue
after I picked him. Um. But I don't give a
shit about any of this. Like maybe Bob Iker is
much better CEO. It's just it's just funny how like
nobody nobody can stay retired like that. They're son for this,
(07:42):
they're still morning for everybody being like, yes, sir, Mr Iger,
Sir Mr Musk, you truly are a funny person, and
I will have your baby. Um oh great, I mean,
as Voltaire said, everything of all the good he did
not do, so I'm sure he thought of that. As
(08:03):
Voltaire said, my favorite philosopher. Probably that was a Voltaire says,
you truly are the king of king, truly the biggest
bashard and new y'all sit carry Lake trending. We're all
waiting to see how she was going to take the L.
(08:26):
Will you go quiet into that good night? Would she
take it, you know, with class? Would she uh take
it and claim she got cheated? Would she take it
and pay five dollars and thirty seven cents? Because she
is actually buying a magazine at the magazine rack at
the grocery store like I did, um when I was
(08:49):
buying L magazine. Um, no, she's not. She's not doing
that one. All of her fascist impulses she was not
able to subdue. They are coming out loud and wrong.
She said, quote tens of thousands of you have reached
out that pleading with me to fight this fight. Rest
assured I will, because if we give up now, we
(09:11):
will no longer have a country. And attorneys are working
diligently to gather information. Whistleblowers are coming forward, and the
curtain is being lifted, whether done accidentally or intentionally, it
is clear that this election was a debical that destroyed
any trust in our elections. That's what yeah, yeah, exactly Arizona. Yes.
(09:33):
Carrie Lack also said Arizonas who trust or who chose
to make their voices no one on election day should
not be disenfranchised to put blah blah blah blah anyway. Um,
she's fighting it, she's fighting it, she's fighting it. Uh.
And it seems like a couple of counties have been like,
we're joining in solidarity with this other county that is
not certifying the election. So there's a little bit of
(09:54):
smoke coming out of the machine over there in Arizona.
We'll see how that that all ends up. But and
then that would just show with evidence that it was
not rigged, and then they'll keep saying it was rigged,
and then maybe they'll be able to sue them again,
you know, money for for whatever that voting company is.
That voting company is just gonna be like the richest
(10:15):
company on the globe after they just keep getting to
soothe these dip shits. Yeah, and I don't know why
the Republicans, like clearly election to nihilism isn't a winning
fucking like platform at all, as you saw as many
of these like secretaries of state who are like in
on this stop the steel ship, we're just like blasted out. Uh.
Some did win, but most by and large we're not.
(10:37):
We're not winning like they thought, not a winner. And
but like for Republicans are like, so keep going with that.
That's like getting thrown out of the bar for acting
a certain way and then you come right back and
they're like, that's still you. What do you do You
think you're gonna get in here acting the same way
we just threw you out for that ship. Yeah, but
I'm trying to fight that they are. They're like, all right,
get out now. Yeah, this isn't gonna then make people like,
(10:59):
you know what, since they're coming back around again for
the second or third or fourth time on this. Maybe
now I'm into this whole lack of peaceful transfer of
power or whatever you call it here, Yeah, it doesn't
it doesn't make like I think it's been seen as
a loser, like from very early on, like didn't. Polling
suggests that Republican voters were like, yeah, man, we don't.
(11:20):
We don't really like we don't. We don't want to
keep doing this. There was like dwindling energy for that.
But they're also elon musking it over there where they're like,
we know better than everyone else, and then it's like
spoiler alert, they did not. And but what makes it
dangerous is that denial is only going to fan the
fames of like the intense fan the flames of like
(11:42):
their intense rhetoric. I feel like it's not going to
be like just this doesn't end to them, be like, y'all, y'all,
we were wrong for pushing all this ethno nationalist ship.
We figured it out. We need to be more inclusive
and we need to compete for your vote with a
with a fucking platform about progress and a quality not
it's just good fan their fame. But what's happening is
(12:05):
there fan in the flames? Uh, thank you and thank you.
Um all right, let's take a quick break. We'll be
right back, and we're back and herschel Walker is still
(12:29):
out here, you know, campaigning on hate speech and saying
just wild shit about trans rights, gay rights, and he
continued to do so even after there was a massive,
you know, terror attack on a gay bar in Colorado
Springs that left five people dead. Unfortunately, two of the
(12:52):
patrons stopped the shooter, which was what the tweets about,
like how two unarmed patrons like stopped them just like
everyone's just laying waste to like the Republican logic where
they're like, wasn't a good guy with a gun? It
was like two bar patrons. Like, so by the Republican
logic to bar patrons should be at the entrance of
every school um in the United States because it wasn't
(13:15):
the police or anything like that. Yeah, this was much better,
much more effective than you've all day. So I think
we need teachers to start drinking on the job. They
already do jack they already do, right, but like more officially, yeah,
out in the open. So what was what was herschell
walker saying this time? Because last night I checked he
was like, you know, you know a where a wolf
(13:38):
can kill a vampire And everyone was like, what the
fund is he saying now? But they've been telling you
that they don't know the definition of a woman either,
to think about that either, They don't know the definition
of a woman. I'm going to tell you the definition
of a woman because it's written in my great book.
It said a man and a woman, and there's a
(14:00):
friends between the two. Okay, what are the definitions there?
It did say that. It did say a man and
a woman, and there's a difference. So that's the reason
men shouldn't be in women's sport. Here's the difference. But
then yet they tried to tell you a man could
get pregnant. We are always saying that. Jack. Honestly, you
reading a herschel Walker quote gives it just dignifies what
(14:22):
he says way too much because he doesn't even know
what he's saying when he's up there. So it doesn't
think I think it sounded like how but it doesn't
make there's no logic to it. He also got out
of your head. He he had a rally to where
he was. First of all, I think he accused like
he was trying to say Raphael Warnock was like abusing
(14:44):
kids or something, and he was like, I know somebody
who wants to He's he like alluded to something like that.
But then he's talked about how Archie Bunker wouldn't. I'm
just again, you don't. You don't know what he's saying.
But he decided to bring up Archie Bunker at his
Senate rally. He is a man on a cloth? Has
he read the Bible? Where I read? Because they talked
(15:06):
about forgiveness. They said, don't look at this spick and
your brother's I look at the plank in your own
You gotta ask for forgiveness. And he never asked for
forgiveness and moved on. He said, talking about the past,
we don't want to live in the past. Or y'all
can tell you this here, Archer Barker, when do't you
be on air today? Would it not? And I tell
you what I used to look Archer Bunker. Did you
not like Archer Barker, cob he calls the Senator war now,
(15:28):
it wouldn't be on air because he's still living in
the past. You gotta come to the future, sir, what okay?
So anyway, okay to be a big because your Archie Bunker,
so Warren, because living in the past, because he wouldn't
let something from the past on the future on the
TV and the present. Well, Archie bunkers from the past obviously,
(15:48):
I think, and the internal logic doesn't hold up here anyway.
That's what I'm saying. When you read it out loud,
it it could sound more logically because you're even processing
it in a way where you're trying to give it
more meaning. All that to say is, uh, stay away
from him. Yes. Uh. They also the shooting happened on
the day that the LGBTQ community recognizes the Transgender Day
(16:12):
of Remembrance by honoring all the transgender and gender nonconforming
people killed by violence, at least thirty two this year.
So yeah, yeah, if we even talked about the focus
on the family being based in Colorado strings Tort's episode,
But yeah, it's I mean, all we're just living in
a at present. There's a place for people who are
open to this kind of thinking to like ingest round
(16:35):
the clock hateful rhetoric. But then like those people will
throw their hands up and say it's a conspiracy from
people who are actually fighting for equality. That's such violence happen.
The World Cup is happening. The World Cup kicked off,
which is soccer. I could give a fuck less. I'm
so fucking mad. I mean, I'm not mad. I don't
(16:56):
give a fuck. I love soccer. I love the fucking
World Cup. I wish it was in the summer, like
you fucking always has been. I wish the FIFA process
wasn't so fucking corrupted that it enabled, you know, ten
years of like forced labor to have these venues built
and Cutter. I mean, maybe you must not have seen
the head of FIFA gave a cool speech. Well, of
(17:17):
course I saw it because every time I see something
come up it was I think it was what Infantino
from FIFA who gave this speech, trying to act like
he was simpleth like knowing obviously, like what the issues
are at the World Cup. He's like no, like and
at this World Cup, I too feel like I'm gay,
I'm the migrant worker, I am blah blah blah, and
(17:38):
people are like, excuse me, sis head, like wealthy guy,
what are you saying? And he's like and I know
this because I had red hair as a child and
was and you're like um. And then he did this thing,
which is somewhat I think is a genuine thing to
bring up when like all these Western nations are like
(18:00):
pointing the finger at Cutter and being like what about
these atrocities, and he's like, whoa, who are they to speak? Uh,
you know, and I'm like that's clever, because if we
were taking all these things in good faith, that would
actually bring up a moment to like have a reckoning
with these things. But it isn't, and you know, it's
it's just kind of a it's a bit of a
propaganda fest um And just like all the footage you
(18:23):
see from fans or the stories you read from journalists there,
it's like one person got turned away from the like
going to the I guess USA Whales game because they
had like a shirt with like a rainbow flag on it,
and like the securities like you can't wear that in here,
like you gotta go. And you know, also not to
mention the whole beer thing that happened over the weekend,
(18:43):
they said that they would be selling beer and then
they until that second there like yeah, man, no beer
in the fucking uh at the venues anymore, because at
first they were saying like Budweiser has like a seventy
five million dollar deal like with FIFA and so but
like the I guess the government of Cutter was like, nah,
you know what, we don't we can't have any alcohol
(19:05):
in near the venues anymore, like, but but you said
we could have it like outside the venue as long
as like, but so the fans could have like some
beer like nah, but it does seem like it's too
late for you guys to cancel, huh. So anyways, funk yourself. Yeah,
and you know, the journalists and the people who were there,
like there's just real so chi vibes like this is
(19:29):
evil here and all. I mean. But on top of
it too, like you're seeing there's also like all this
counter activism that's happening. Like you know, they were there,
players like their commentators who you know, like some of
the teams couldn't wear captain's arm bands, like the captain
wars an arm band like on the field and that
had like rainbow flags on them as a way to say,
despite the stance of the nation here, we are standing
(19:51):
in solidarity with like the LGBTQ community, um, like some
of the broadcasters because like the teams were scared off
if it was like you'll get a yellow hard if
you wear that on the field, and so they so
like some of the broadcasters were wearing them on the
broadcast to try and like still make the point. And
you saw like with the Iranian national team they played
in England, you know, they didn't even sing their national anthem.
(20:14):
That a lot of people were like, wow, this is
they're apparently trying to know protest what's happening in their
own country at the moment, like on the heels of
increased violence, or rather it hasn't stopped since all of
the demonstrations have taken place, So there's like there's just
so much going on, and like on top of it,
just the the the jingleism that comes out, it just
(20:35):
feels a little different. I like, yeah, it's the World Cup.
I just wish it weren't. I wish it was in
the summer, and I wish people wasn't such a fucked
up organization. But here it is. Here it is. Kyrie
is back. So that's great. Uh No, that's that's terrible.
He shouldn't be he shouldn't be playing beast. But it's well, yeah,
(20:56):
the other thing that's trending is Kyrie because the Black
Israel it's pulled up to the Barclay Center in mass
and like we're like, you know, they're to support the
big homie Kyrie Irving. But yeah, that's not a good
look when you know, like a literal hate group are
your most vocal defenders outside of the venue, Like if
you've ever ever encountered black Israelites, uh, you know, because
(21:20):
they might be like just saying the most homophobic, like
backwards aggressive ship you've ever heard. But yeah, anyway, so
that was that was all happening to. So sports are
coming a light this week. Jesus Ben Simmons is looking
better past a couple of games. Okay, yeah, a D two.
I mean there's that too. Yeah. The other thing with
(21:41):
the World Cup, I just want to touch on it,
like there's this whole there's like a whole narrative I
keep seeing where they're like, this is Lionel Messi's last
time to win a World Cup, and I that's possible.
I'm not sure if that's going to be the case,
but you know, who knows. Who knows? But why did
he say he might retire and that they're just like
point four years after this, he's not gonna look anything
(22:02):
like how he does now. So I think that's that's
why a lot of people are like he's like the
one of the greatest players of all time who hasn't
won a World Cup. So you're saying that, like you're
you're not buying that it's going to be his last time,
or you're not buying that he's not buying argenteam that
can win it. I just don't things he had like
they have a lot of trouble and like the at
(22:24):
the World Cup. But again with the times and everything,
it's also wild because I'm just sorry, like I'm processing
all this outad. I normally watched so many World Cup
matches and I've been completely We've been on for four
years now, Jesus, Chris, oh Jack, We've been together two
World Cups now except for this shitty one, and I
(22:45):
guess the Russia one was also had a lot of
it too. Anyway, check out Lords of Soccer, the podcast
that I helped produce that goes into the corruption at
FIFA and why you know we're having this terrible event
at a time like check out all right, well, those
are some of the things that are trending on this
(23:07):
Monday afternoon. We are back tomorrow with all last episode
of the show. Until then, be kind to each other,
be kind to yourself. Get the flu shot, get the vaccine,
get the boosters, don't do nothing about white supremacy, and
we will talk to you all tomorrow by
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of Okay.
It's like Puter the radio trend album. Have you seen
have you heard that album? Man, it's a good rock album. Dude.
Oh I love I love Radio's head. Oh man, this
is what it was like to drink with me when
(00:21):
I was in my twenties. Radio trend may try and
trying and trying and trying. Dude, try and understand what
the singers saying in this song right now. You're not
gonna believe it, he said, Hitler, hair do making me feel?
Oh man, I am jack That over there, Well that's miles.
(00:47):
This here. These are some things that are trending right now. Tesla,
the company that makes cars that make us go room
room without the gas um that'd recall only one thousand
for tail light issue three. One thousand car recall for
their cars. This is apparently the nineteen recall this year

have a lot of alright, mad bound oh get busy child?
No zoom zoom used to be it? Yeah, I think so. Yeah, okay,
(01:33):
zoom zoom zoom, and it was like some weird, like
problematic like African theme. I remember they had that ship anyway,
had like the ghost of a child be like and
you're like, oh my god, and like a person waking
up from his dream, like oh my god. Fuck, it's
like a nightmare. Uh. But then also on top of that,
the stock price it's trending because of that. I guess
(01:53):
it's the Tesla stock is at a fifty two week low,
and that's supposed to be the good one. That's his Uh,
that's his good one, that Elon Musk, all the companies
and Tesla's post be good one and not so good
today buster. Yeah. So I don't know. I mean I
think for for the for many people who are watching,
(02:14):
we're like wow, and watch how this affects everything else.
Elon Musk does, Yeah, price saw this coming and let
Trump back on Twitter Twitter the weekend. I meant, I
meant to lose all this money. That's why it's hard
to write because we talk about this all the time
of like, who has nefarious goals in mind with getting
Elon Musk to buy Twitter? How much of it is
(02:36):
big idiot just screwing it up on his own and
it just feels like everything's true. At the same time
comes I'm like, damn, it would suck if this thing
goes down, And then also like, damn, this dude really
is a fucking he's he has no idea what he's doing.
I'm sure they are like some wealthy shrewd uh. You

aside from like the fake myth that he created PayPal,
(03:41):
which he did not Like. He's just like he's gliding
off a lot of like bad articles. People like wait,
hold on, what what what what is this I just
learned about you? Okay, so this is like me at
the magazine Rack in the nineties, taking L after L
because I like that magazine E L L E L magazine. Yeah,
(04:05):
that was that was a hit. We all liked it,
didn't we, folks? Um? Yeah, man fits with my personae,
the person who would read L good on thank you.
I was just waiting. I was lingering until you told
me it was a good like you know what. It
took a second to marinade, but I like it. Yeah.
But anyways, Twitter continues to I don't know, he so
(04:28):
that that that's something that happened over the weekend. We'll
talk about a little bit tomorrow. How how worried we
should all be? Um? But he he did a poll
and then said, hey, the people have spoken. Donald Trump
is a lab back on Twitter, his account is back. Um.
Somebody pointed out that his his use of that quote
(04:49):
wasn't great, um, and Bellinger said, if you're going to
quote something to seem smart, it's a good idea to
go to the original source. So he tweeted something like
volks populi both day like voice of people, voice of God. Uh,

not be listened to. Who keeps saying the voice of
the people is the voice of God, since the riotous
nous of the crowd is always very close to madness.
Uh So, he's you know, he's a learned man. He's
one of those folks, a real, real stupid person. You know,
my favorite philosopher. A lot of people say Aristotle, but
(05:32):
my favorite philosopher is Elon mus Voltaire Voltaire, first Voltaire
because I like all the stuff he had to say
about white supremacy in the twentieth century. And then uh
second favorite, elonmak Uh Yeah, Bob Iger another one of
these sort of narcissistic personalities that the mainstream media loves to.
(05:56):
Just gobble it up, don't we um. He came in
and basically, like so a year ago, you know, he
was doing his big farewell tour and he was retiring
and he's this big celebrity CEO. Everybody was like, what
are they gonna do without him? And he picked a
successor who has the same name as him. Basically they
(06:18):
have the same first in middle names. They're both Robert Allen,
Robert Allen Eger, and Robert Allen something else. Yeah. That
that he basically came disappeared that guy parts unknown, the
former CEO of Disney. They're just like, yeah, nice triasshole. Um.
And now Bob Iger is back and everyone is celebrating
(06:39):
stock to the moon. Um. I mean it looks like
the CFO like and other executives got real panicked on Friday,
and we're like, okay, based on the quarterly earnings and
like I guess complaints from inside the company, we want
to welcome you back, Bob. Yeah. So this this stuff
(07:00):
that has happened in the past year, that was presumably
all totally started within the past year, right, you know, Yeah,
no ideas carried over. It was a completely new regime.
And Bob Ikers, a handpicked successor, probably had nothing to
do with any of the mistakes. Uh or or bob
(07:21):
Iker presumably had nothing to do with any of the mistakes. Um.
And it was all this new guy who went rogue
after I picked him. Um. But I don't give a
shit about any of this. Like maybe Bob Iker is
much better CEO. It's just it's just funny how like
nobody nobody can stay retired like that. They're son for this,
(07:42):
they're still morning for everybody being like, yes, sir, Mr Iger,
Sir Mr Musk, you truly are a funny person, and
I will have your baby. Um oh great, I mean,
as Voltaire said, everything of all the good he did
not do, so I'm sure he thought of that. As
(08:03):
Voltaire said, my favorite philosopher. Probably that was a Voltaire says,
you truly are the king of king, truly the biggest
bashard and new y'all sit carry Lake trending. We're all
waiting to see how she was going to take the L.
(08:26):
Will you go quiet into that good night? Would she
take it, you know, with class? Would she uh take
it and claim she got cheated? Would she take it
and pay five dollars and thirty seven cents? Because she
is actually buying a magazine at the magazine rack at
the grocery store like I did, um when I was
(08:49):
buying L magazine. Um, no, she's not. She's not doing
that one. All of her fascist impulses she was not
able to subdue. They are coming out loud and wrong.
She said, quote tens of thousands of you have reached
out that pleading with me to fight this fight. Rest
assured I will, because if we give up now, we
(09:11):
will no longer have a country. And attorneys are working
diligently to gather information. Whistleblowers are coming forward, and the
curtain is being lifted, whether done accidentally or intentionally, it
is clear that this election was a debical that destroyed
any trust in our elections. That's what yeah, yeah, exactly Arizona. Yes.
(09:33):
Carrie Lack also said Arizonas who trust or who chose
to make their voices no one on election day should
not be disenfranchised to put blah blah blah blah anyway. Um,
she's fighting it, she's fighting it, she's fighting it. Uh.
And it seems like a couple of counties have been like,
we're joining in solidarity with this other county that is
not certifying the election. So there's a little bit of
(09:54):
smoke coming out of the machine over there in Arizona.
We'll see how that that all ends up. But and
then that would just show with evidence that it was
not rigged, and then they'll keep saying it was rigged,
and then maybe they'll be able to sue them again,
you know, money for for whatever that voting company is.
That voting company is just gonna be like the richest
(10:15):
company on the globe after they just keep getting to
soothe these dip shits. Yeah, and I don't know why
the Republicans, like clearly election to nihilism isn't a winning
fucking like platform at all, as you saw as many
of these like secretaries of state who are like in
on this stop the steel ship, we're just like blasted out. Uh.
Some did win, but most by and large we're not.
(10:37):
We're not winning like they thought, not a winner. And
but like for Republicans are like, so keep going with that.
That's like getting thrown out of the bar for acting
a certain way and then you come right back and
they're like, that's still you. What do you do You
think you're gonna get in here acting the same way
we just threw you out for that ship. Yeah, but
I'm trying to fight that they are. They're like, all right,
get out now. Yeah, this isn't gonna then make people like,
(10:59):
you know what, since they're coming back around again for
the second or third or fourth time on this. Maybe
now I'm into this whole lack of peaceful transfer of
power or whatever you call it here, Yeah, it doesn't
it doesn't make like I think it's been seen as
a loser, like from very early on, like didn't. Polling
suggests that Republican voters were like, yeah, man, we don't.
(11:20):
We don't really like we don't. We don't want to
keep doing this. There was like dwindling energy for that.
But they're also elon musking it over there where they're like,
we know better than everyone else, and then it's like
spoiler alert, they did not. And but what makes it
dangerous is that denial is only going to fan the
fames of like the intense fan the flames of like
(11:42):
their intense rhetoric. I feel like it's not going to
be like just this doesn't end to them, be like, y'all, y'all,
we were wrong for pushing all this ethno nationalist ship.
We figured it out. We need to be more inclusive
and we need to compete for your vote with a
with a fucking platform about progress and a quality not
it's just good fan their fame. But what's happening is
(12:05):
there fan in the flames? Uh, thank you and thank you.
Um all right, let's take a quick break. We'll be
right back, and we're back and herschel Walker is still
(12:29):
out here, you know, campaigning on hate speech and saying
just wild shit about trans rights, gay rights, and he
continued to do so even after there was a massive,
you know, terror attack on a gay bar in Colorado
Springs that left five people dead. Unfortunately, two of the
(12:52):
patrons stopped the shooter, which was what the tweets about,
like how two unarmed patrons like stopped them just like
everyone's just laying waste to like the Republican logic where
they're like, wasn't a good guy with a gun? It
was like two bar patrons. Like, so by the Republican
logic to bar patrons should be at the entrance of
every school um in the United States because it wasn't
(13:15):
the police or anything like that. Yeah, this was much better,
much more effective than you've all day. So I think
we need teachers to start drinking on the job. They
already do jack they already do, right, but like more officially, yeah,
out in the open. So what was what was herschell
walker saying this time? Because last night I checked he
was like, you know, you know a where a wolf
(13:38):
can kill a vampire And everyone was like, what the
fund is he saying now? But they've been telling you
that they don't know the definition of a woman either,
to think about that either, They don't know the definition
of a woman. I'm going to tell you the definition
of a woman because it's written in my great book.
It said a man and a woman, and there's a
(14:00):
friends between the two. Okay, what are the definitions there?
It did say that. It did say a man and
a woman, and there's a difference. So that's the reason
men shouldn't be in women's sport. Here's the difference. But
then yet they tried to tell you a man could
get pregnant. We are always saying that. Jack. Honestly, you
reading a herschel Walker quote gives it just dignifies what
(14:22):
he says way too much because he doesn't even know
what he's saying when he's up there. So it doesn't
think I think it sounded like how but it doesn't
make there's no logic to it. He also got out
of your head. He he had a rally to where
he was. First of all, I think he accused like
he was trying to say Raphael Warnock was like abusing
(14:44):
kids or something, and he was like, I know somebody
who wants to He's he like alluded to something like that.
But then he's talked about how Archie Bunker wouldn't. I'm
just again, you don't. You don't know what he's saying.
But he decided to bring up Archie Bunker at his
Senate rally. He is a man on a cloth? Has
he read the Bible? Where I read? Because they talked
(15:06):
about forgiveness. They said, don't look at this spick and
your brother's I look at the plank in your own
You gotta ask for forgiveness. And he never asked for
forgiveness and moved on. He said, talking about the past,
we don't want to live in the past. Or y'all
can tell you this here, Archer Barker, when do't you
be on air today? Would it not? And I tell
you what I used to look Archer Bunker. Did you
not like Archer Barker, cob he calls the Senator war now,
(15:28):
it wouldn't be on air because he's still living in
the past. You gotta come to the future, sir, what okay?
So anyway, okay to be a big because your Archie Bunker,
so Warren, because living in the past, because he wouldn't
let something from the past on the future on the
TV and the present. Well, Archie bunkers from the past obviously,
(15:48):
I think, and the internal logic doesn't hold up here anyway.
That's what I'm saying. When you read it out loud,
it it could sound more logically because you're even processing
it in a way where you're trying to give it
more meaning. All that to say is, uh, stay away
from him. Yes. Uh. They also the shooting happened on
the day that the LGBTQ community recognizes the Transgender Day
(16:12):
of Remembrance by honoring all the transgender and gender nonconforming
people killed by violence, at least thirty two this year.
So yeah, yeah, if we even talked about the focus
on the family being based in Colorado strings Tort's episode,
But yeah, it's I mean, all we're just living in
a at present. There's a place for people who are
open to this kind of thinking to like ingest round
(16:35):
the clock hateful rhetoric. But then like those people will
throw their hands up and say it's a conspiracy from
people who are actually fighting for equality. That's such violence happen.
The World Cup is happening. The World Cup kicked off,
which is soccer. I could give a fuck less. I'm
so fucking mad. I mean, I'm not mad. I don't
(16:56):
give a fuck. I love soccer. I love the fucking
World Cup. I wish it was in the summer, like
you fucking always has been. I wish the FIFA process
wasn't so fucking corrupted that it enabled, you know, ten
years of like forced labor to have these venues built
and Cutter. I mean, maybe you must not have seen
the head of FIFA gave a cool speech. Well, of
(17:17):
course I saw it because every time I see something
come up it was I think it was what Infantino
from FIFA who gave this speech, trying to act like
he was simpleth like knowing obviously, like what the issues
are at the World Cup. He's like no, like and
at this World Cup, I too feel like I'm gay,
I'm the migrant worker, I am blah blah blah, and
(17:38):
people are like, excuse me, sis head, like wealthy guy,
what are you saying? And he's like and I know
this because I had red hair as a child and
was and you're like um. And then he did this thing,
which is somewhat I think is a genuine thing to
bring up when like all these Western nations are like
(18:00):
pointing the finger at Cutter and being like what about
these atrocities, and he's like, whoa, who are they to speak? Uh,
you know, and I'm like that's clever, because if we
were taking all these things in good faith, that would
actually bring up a moment to like have a reckoning
with these things. But it isn't, and you know, it's
it's just kind of a it's a bit of a
propaganda fest um And just like all the footage you
(18:23):
see from fans or the stories you read from journalists there,
it's like one person got turned away from the like
going to the I guess USA Whales game because they
had like a shirt with like a rainbow flag on it,
and like the securities like you can't wear that in here,
like you gotta go. And you know, also not to
mention the whole beer thing that happened over the weekend,
(18:43):
they said that they would be selling beer and then
they until that second there like yeah, man, no beer
in the fucking uh at the venues anymore, because at
first they were saying like Budweiser has like a seventy
five million dollar deal like with FIFA and so but
like the I guess the government of Cutter was like, nah,
you know what, we don't we can't have any alcohol
(19:05):
in near the venues anymore, like, but but you said
we could have it like outside the venue as long
as like, but so the fans could have like some
beer like nah, but it does seem like it's too
late for you guys to cancel, huh. So anyways, funk yourself. Yeah,
and you know, the journalists and the people who were there,
like there's just real so chi vibes like this is
(19:29):
evil here and all. I mean. But on top of
it too, like you're seeing there's also like all this
counter activism that's happening. Like you know, they were there,
players like their commentators who you know, like some of
the teams couldn't wear captain's arm bands, like the captain
wars an arm band like on the field and that
had like rainbow flags on them as a way to say,
despite the stance of the nation here, we are standing
(19:51):
in solidarity with like the LGBTQ community, um, like some
of the broadcasters because like the teams were scared off
if it was like you'll get a yellow hard if
you wear that on the field, and so they so
like some of the broadcasters were wearing them on the
broadcast to try and like still make the point. And
you saw like with the Iranian national team they played
in England, you know, they didn't even sing their national anthem.
(20:14):
That a lot of people were like, wow, this is
they're apparently trying to know protest what's happening in their
own country at the moment, like on the heels of
increased violence, or rather it hasn't stopped since all of
the demonstrations have taken place, So there's like there's just
so much going on, and like on top of it,
just the the the jingleism that comes out, it just
(20:35):
feels a little different. I like, yeah, it's the World Cup.
I just wish it weren't. I wish it was in
the summer, and I wish people wasn't such a fucked
up organization. But here it is. Here it is. Kyrie
is back. So that's great. Uh No, that's that's terrible.
He shouldn't be he shouldn't be playing beast. But it's well, yeah,
(20:56):
the other thing that's trending is Kyrie because the Black
Israel it's pulled up to the Barclay Center in mass
and like we're like, you know, they're to support the
big homie Kyrie Irving. But yeah, that's not a good
look when you know, like a literal hate group are
your most vocal defenders outside of the venue, Like if
you've ever ever encountered black Israelites, uh, you know, because
(21:20):
they might be like just saying the most homophobic, like
backwards aggressive ship you've ever heard. But yeah, anyway, so
that was that was all happening to. So sports are
coming a light this week. Jesus Ben Simmons is looking
better past a couple of games. Okay, yeah, a D two.
I mean there's that too. Yeah. The other thing with
(21:41):
the World Cup, I just want to touch on it,
like there's this whole there's like a whole narrative I
keep seeing where they're like, this is Lionel Messi's last
time to win a World Cup, and I that's possible.
I'm not sure if that's going to be the case,
but you know, who knows. Who knows? But why did
he say he might retire and that they're just like
point four years after this, he's not gonna look anything
(22:02):
like how he does now. So I think that's that's
why a lot of people are like he's like the
one of the greatest players of all time who hasn't
won a World Cup. So you're saying that, like you're
you're not buying that it's going to be his last time,
or you're not buying that he's not buying argenteam that
can win it. I just don't things he had like
they have a lot of trouble and like the at
(22:24):
the World Cup. But again with the times and everything,
it's also wild because I'm just sorry, like I'm processing
all this outad. I normally watched so many World Cup
matches and I've been completely We've been on for four
years now, Jesus, Chris, oh Jack, We've been together two
World Cups now except for this shitty one, and I
(22:45):
guess the Russia one was also had a lot of
it too. Anyway, check out Lords of Soccer, the podcast
that I helped produce that goes into the corruption at
FIFA and why you know we're having this terrible event
at a time like check out all right, well, those
are some of the things that are trending on this
(23:07):
