You were saying that the rabbit rapping thing is weird. Yeah,
and then her response to you. I translated and it

(01:32):

(01:55):
the podcast of Muslim that Muslim Has on Me. Thanks
for having me be here, being here, see you guys
all you need to do. We're like, how would you
like to be introduced? Was like as the greatest of
all that was just that was my personal I came
up with that, just overcome by your presidence here in

(02:15):
the studio. Tas. We're gonna get to know you a
little bit better in a moment, but first we're gonna
tell our listeners what we're talking about. Fox is going
in on Oprah. They're telling us what you didn't know
about Oprah her politics. Basically, she is a Leninist. We're
gonna talk about the UK airports. They have a problem

(02:38):
on their hands and it sounds like a fun one. Uh.
America is now the justification for oppression around the world.
We're gonna talk about how that's happening. We're gonna do
it check in with the polls this day before voting day. Uh.
The New York Times day kind of a recap on
that at the end of last week. Uh, we're gonna
talk about the showdown. I did not know what was

(03:01):
happening in the Catholic Church between the conservative and the
liberal pope. I knew like cool Pope was here and
I knew the conservative evil Pope was still out there.
But apparently they're having they're having it out in these streets.
It's a street fight in Vatican City. We're gonna talk
about Steve King being just a tremendous funk up. We're
going to talk about the A V Club asking a

(03:22):
really good question about movie soundtracks, and of course we're
going to do a Bloyd. But first, Tess, what is
something from your search history that's reeling about who you are. Okay,
this is kind of funny, but it makes sense if
you know who I am. I was searching for songs
about Jin's and Jin's are like Genie's, you know, Like,

(03:46):
but in Islam there's just like fourth being in the ark,
referred to as Jan's. Okay, oh interesting, yeah, fourth being?
What are the first three? Um like humans and angels?
I forgot the third being? The third being? So Christina
is Genie in a bottle? Totally? Baby, you gotta rub

(04:07):
me the right way? Aladdin? Aladdin, yes, and then I
dream of Genie. Those were the only ones I could find.
And game Genie by Globe. I don't know that was
a thing for Super Nintendo like video game, yeah, where
you just put like your cartridge in the thing. Anyway,
that's for gamers, because that's all I do. Of course
I remember it. I'm going to be replaced by a

(04:29):
millennial pretty soon, just for the betterment of the show.
Apparently that whole confusing mystery that I posed about, like
why are these kids dressing up as SWAT team members
for Halloween? People are like, dude, it's fucking from fortnite,
Fortnite and they're like, I think it's the militarization of
the police. I liked my theory better. Uh has what

(04:52):
is something you think is overrated white women? What is
something you think is under no? Alright, let's talk let's
talk about white women, white women as voters, white women voters.
There's so much focus on getting out white women to
vote when there should be way more focused on people
of color coming out to vote, especially in the in

(05:13):
the places where we have contentious races like Georgia and Florida. Um,
we just I mean, like, white women always get targeted
for ads when it comes to voting, and people of
color don't. I'm over it. I feel like it's partially
that they just take people of color for granted. They're like, oh,
they're going to vote Democrat, right, and it's going to
be so problematic tomorrow when people show up on election

(05:34):
day and the day after everyone's gonna be like what wait,
what happened? What is you promised? Kind of well, yeah,
I think they feel like for people of color were
always faced with like existential threats, so it makes sense like, well,
they're motivated to vote there they could die, right, and
where it's like, well, white women they take well and
just people who are very comfortable. Let's we need to

(05:56):
figure out how to jar them into voting. Yeah, over it,
over it. Mm hmm. What is something you think is underrated? Okay,
this is I have to um, Hollwark Christmas movies. Wow,
I was just talking about that. I'm really into homework
Christmas movies, even though I think it is an arm
of white supremacy. But you know, I do politics so

(06:16):
much in my day job that I just kind of
like to like decompress watching just yeah, it's kind of
exotic for me to see this because it's not something
that I'm used to. Um. And the other one is
vote by mail voting. It's like makes it. It's so
easy to just vote at home. People don't do it
because they want that stupid sticker. But the line so on.

(06:37):
They give you the sticker sometimes, don't they. Yeah, so yes,
you get stickers mail you can vote in your on
your bed, on your couch, whatever, vote with friends, toilet. Yeah,
we will mail you a fucking sticker. Just just do it,
please come through. I love the Hallmark thing though, because
I think that is something like we were one of
the early episodes of the dailies. I guys, we were

(06:59):
talking about how Hallmark, the Hallmark Channel's TV ratings like
after Trump one, like through the presidential through the Yeah,
they kind of went up with Trump's like fortunes, and
people were trying to we were trying to decide whether
it was a thing where it is just, you know,

(07:19):
the rising trend of white supremacy. And I totally think
it is. All they're casting is just white people. There's
no people of color, and if they are, they're like
such superside character. They all just take place in Vermont. Yeah,
and then it's all about getting urban women, urban single
women to move out to the suburbs. The red married
to a guy with a kid whose wife suddenly died,

(07:40):
and you're like, okay, so this is about getting like
urban women to populate the suburbs. Because it's always like, oh,
my life is so fast in New York City and
like I have an assignment in this mountain town and
I love the curmudgeon guy who has a horse for
a friend. Yeah. And it's funny too, because I was
yesterday I was pointed out a tweet that I really

(08:01):
like from somebody who has said, like, because I was
from a black woman who was like says, I don't
know anything really about white culture. I'm gonna assume everything
about homework movies is what's actually going on, and it's true,
like yeah, you can. That's the depictions of those things.
It seems such like a good time, you know, being
up in that snow. I love those movies, though. There's
something about trash Christmas films that I can endure. I

(08:23):
downloaded the app. They have an act this year where
it's like a Hallmark. Yeah, they have a Hallmark app
of all the Christmas movies. I'm insanely obsessed with Hallmark
Christmas movies. I don't celebrate Christmas. I'm a Muslim woman.
For the listeners, so I think that is a part
of my obsession is just like oh my gosh, I
just did not have this growing up right right, Well,
that was the other option that we talked about, just

(08:44):
that it is a perfect like sort of almost conflict
free universe or like where the conflicts are very stupid
and like easy. Uh, and like maybe people are just
they have conflict on every other channel, so they just
want to watch the Hallmark to like unplug. It's pretty
much there's never any racial or political tension in those things.
It's pretty much like you say, it's like urban verse agrarian.

(09:07):
If there is conflict, it's like, well, these city people
don't get it. Whatever. That woman with a high paying job,
she needs to quit it and become a housewife. But
but the agrarian always wins. Always. Okay, is there one?
Is there a flipped one where like a cowboy comes
to the city or something. I mean there might be, right,
there's like thirty one movies this year New ones shout

(09:28):
out to the people who are just milking them for
those scripts that they put nineteen minutes into writing. So
I'm working on a script of my own called Muslim
Merry Christmas. So I'm doing a Muslim version of a
Christmas rom com. Well, there's like it's like mainstream e Hallmark,
but then there's like a very subversive political twist. I mean,

(09:49):
I don't think Hallmark is going to take it because
it's a little bit too controversial. Yeah, exactly. I just
love how systematic and formulate it is and just playing
with that. Right, it's you know, way it's so easy
to in your mind, like I think it could be
pretty easy to write this thing right, and I was like,
I'm just gonna do it. Yeah, perfect, because this is

(10:09):
l A and this is where that happens. There is
a movie that you're talking about where the cowboys called
Midnight Cowboy. He ends up jerking off a bunch of bunks. Uh.
What is something? What is a myth? What's something people
think is true? That? Um? Okay, myth. I'd like to

(10:31):
talk about how Asian Americans are considered a political and
not interested in voting. Um, and that's just not true.
We just don't get targeted media. There's a lot of
language barriers, there's a lot of cultural barriers, and studies
show that most Asian Americans when they register for a party,
they're like thirty one non affiliated. So it's just, you know,
we we have this population that's just not being talked

(10:52):
to and they need they I mean, they have interest,
but they need media, right, yeah, campaigns. I mean, that
is a large portion of the population to be unaffiliated
because like the rest of the country is like very
locked into their various camps. So come on, Republicans, tell
them why you're great, sell them all right, guys, let's

(11:20):
get into what's going on over the weekend or at
the end of last week, Fox was just trying to
figure out what to do about the fact that a
force of nature happened wherein Oprah Winfrey came to Georgia
and didn't win a fiddling contest, but she basically went

(11:40):
and campaigned for Stacy Abrahams. And they were like, well,
we need to do the impossible and make people dislike Oprah.
I don't know where people where they think that's gonna work, right, Yeah,
And we talked about this even on like the ven
diagram of like racist women left her right the over
up is Oprah. Yeah, like that's where like them. So again,

(12:05):
I think it's because after Mike Pennz took that huge
al and was like, hey, I'm a pretty big deal too,
and everyone's like, you're as big as Oprah and Little Ferrell. Okay,
they had to go out on a full out assault
and really come after Oprah's politics. And I don't know
if you heard her at a town hall meeting or
a rally that she went to for Stacy Abrams where
she was like, you know, Stacy Abrams is advocating for

(12:25):
gun control, but we get it. It's Georgia. People like
to hunt. But like common sense gun control or you know,
ensuring the environment is safe for our children and that
people have access to medical care and things like that. Well,
this is how Fox took those words, in addition to
having a very interesting look on how her Favorite Things
episodes sort of ties into this ideology, that far leftist message.

(12:48):
I mean, you talk Ainsley about the you know, all
of the free things that Oprah gave out. Well, that's
just really not practical from a political standpoint when we're
talking about tying her message with socialism and that it's
really been the only coalescing message around the Democrats. I
think the American family is going to care about traditional
values instead. Okay, far left socialist. Oprah is a far

(13:10):
left socialist and who uses companies to like finance her
show and then uses that as an advertising like Fox,
come on, come on. They just think they're hoping that
people just saw Oprah there and assumed based on they're
not having ever seen anything about Oprah other than the giveaways,

(13:32):
not see anything about open Yeah, they're assuming that they
people are going to be like, oh, she showed up there,
she probably gave away a bunch of cars. Yeah. Well,
here's my thing is that she's worth four billion dollars
and that to me is an uber capitalist like all socialists,
she's worth four billion dollars. Hell yeah, It's just the

(13:53):
funny part was at the beginning of that clip, all
the women were like praising her. Though. It's just so
weird because you know, we love, we grew up with
the we watched her and she's such a good person
and we've seen it. And then like they had to
like remember that they were Fox drones, and then like
the programming had to kick in. It's a yeah, it's

(14:14):
a it's a new take on over. Honestly, you might
win people over if they think socialism is getting free
ug boots, free cars and like. But again, so that
wasn't just the only time Fox came for Oprah. Then
later on in the day, one of their contributors had
an interesting take on I guess how celebrities don't necessarily

(14:35):
work well in politics. I don't know, just try and
wrap your head around this one. I think the problem
with celebrities are you against myself, is that they are
in a very different financial status than the people that
are that are listening to him Oprah Winfrey, Like Donald
one of the wealthiest one in the world is talking
to people and Mary Atta Georgia, Okay, people hate that.
What what people can't deal with a politician who's wealthy?

(15:00):
What is it? What I'm speedless? That doesn't even that
just doesn't warrant any kind of I can't even dignify
that with a response. I mean, the president himself was
a celebrity who has no idea how regular people live,
how common people live, how working people live. Like he
is the human embodiment of Mr Monopoly. He is like

(15:21):
a poor person's idea of a rich person, and that
is his whole thing. That's all he was. That was
his entire like brand prior to running for presidency, at
which point he was like, oh, also racism and yeah.
But they instead of focus on on that, they just
chose to attack the fact that Oprah is rich, Like
that's the whole that's their guys, whole thing. Man, it's

(15:44):
gonna work, It's gonna I feel like when Fox News
says anything there, minions kind of like just respond to it,
and the hypocrisy of it is just so absurd and
so over over the top. It's they can say whatever
they want and it'll work, right, and they're even like
things are stories coming out now about like how even increasingly,
like even when confronted with facts, like many people in

(16:06):
the regious outright just are they opt for their fantasy
world because they can't handle like looking at something that
might be objectively true that could conflict with their ideology
and like no, no, no no, no, self preservation going to
stick my head into the sand. So anyway, don't Oprah
is a force to be reckoned with. And also I
will say when Mike penzis like this is in Hollywood

(16:27):
when he was talking about Georgia, I would like to
remind people Georgia has I don't know how many productions
happened in Georgia. Georgia might as well be Hollywood as well,
so in there. Yeah, anyway, I was written Economist article today,
no weig deal, uh and they said, once a reason
debate loses its power to win arguments, democracy cannot function,

(16:47):
which yeah, we all know that, but that's they were
writing about this upcoming election there you know, down the
middle but lean somewhat you know, conservative economically, and there
you and like, guys, this is really bad, like this
is bad for the world at this point, um, like
we're gonna have to like begin starting your debates with

(17:08):
people about like, okay, do we believe in Adams first, right,
let's start there, like on an atomic level, are we
on the same page believe in Adam and Eve should
not have done the accident. There's nothing about Southern people
that makes them any lesson tell you should say it's
I like Adams and Eves, sir, anyway, I like Adams

(17:32):
and Eves. Bro there you I don't know. That's my
best attempt at kind b Yeah. Anyways, guys, speaking of
the economist, the UK airports have a passenger to lit
problem on their hands. I don't know if you guys
have flown, like if you know Europe, it's really easy
to get around on like Ryanair and easy Jett and

(17:53):
things like that. And because of that, a lot of
people they take quick trips, like to just get to
vacation spots and you know, some people like to get
have a few drinks before they board the plane. But
in places like Gatwick and stands at airport, like those
London area airports, they have noticed, like they're having problems
with people getting vegas stripped drunk when they by the

(18:15):
time they're on the plane with like do was just
screaming at each other, like having conversations out loud. There's
a guy like a tinker Bell costume who had to
be like taken off because he was way too fucked up.
He got so drunk that he ended up and I
think he boarded the plane in a tinker Bell cost Yeah,
he's just I think it was probably a stag do
as they call bachelor party or something. But you know,

(18:36):
when they look at the stats, right, they say in
there were one nine incidents of what they call serious
disruption on UK flights, but that climbed to four hundred
fifteen incidents in sixteen and four hundred seventeen seventeen, so
basically more than doubled in one year. Uh, and so
now they're trying to figure out a lot of people,
including Ryanair themselves, are like we got to sort out

(18:59):
like how fucked up people are getting in the airport
before they get on the plane. And recently when I
was in Europe, when I flew to Copenhagen from England,
I noticed in the term there's people getting literati in there,
like it was not a game, and I was impressed.
You know, they looked like they were having fun, but
at the same time it was a little I was like, okay,
well there, I guess they just keep serving them even

(19:20):
though they're like stumbling up to the bar. So now
they're like, you know, people are proposing things like, you know,
limit to too, like a to drink minimum or eliminate
alcohol sales before ten am. But they say a lot
of the problem too, is that people just get on
the plane with like duty free alcohol and then they
just start pounding that on the flight. Well, then that's
just people not knowing how to be adults, Like, yeah,

(19:42):
what is wrong? Actually at that point they're feating like
a school bus field trips. Well, here's my thing looking
at this where they brown, Like, I feel like this
is like a white privilege problem in some ways, because
like a brown person walks up onto an airplane and
if they just look at the flight intendants wrong, they
get kicked off the plane, which is something that happened
a year or two a out. There's so many incidences
which we I've been documenting in my work of people

(20:04):
who are flying while brown and get kicked off the
plane for the stupidest things. Yeah, it could be I
mean who I have no idea, but I know, I
know they like to drink. They like to party over there.
It's funny too, because, like you were saying, there was
a black doctor on a flight who was trying to
give another passenger medical attention, and they were like grilling

(20:24):
him whether or not he was a doctor. Come the
funk on, Yeah, he just get help. Ye. The only
people who scam like that are the people who say
they know sign language. That's the one thing we've seen
over and over where people don't know sign language and
then they go up there and just start throwing up
gang signs like they're they're communicating to the people. Yeah,
there's a reason there's a phrase white boy drunk though,

(20:46):
because that is that is the thing that, Yeah, you
just have the privilege to just be as drunk as
you want to be at any time anywhere. I've never
done the like drinking thing, like drinking before a flight,
but like I mean, you know, you might have people
have a glass up all night in Vegas and then

(21:07):
you just like show up to the plane, right, Yeah,
I can see that. But like there are people you
show up for a morning flight and they're like at
the bar, like having a bloody Mary and I think
it's just an anxiety thing. But I just like hangovers
are too bad for me to do that, Like, I
don't want to be hungover when I get wherever. I'm
the spirit bro right to get smith ash before you

(21:27):
get on the right millennial, I think, maybe, right, well,
I need to work on my millennial nous. I'm right
on the cut, working hard. You join gen x Man seriously,
all right, we're gonna take a quick break. We'll be
right back. And we're back. And as we're recording this

(21:56):
superproducer around Hosny, I just informed us Alec Baldwin has
been arrested for punching somebody over a parking spot, which
not not I'm surprised really, I mean, Alec Baldwin seems
like a very see how he treats Yeah, I mean
loving your daughter a pig is a is terrible. Actually, no,
I of course he did. Because although I was just

(22:20):
looking at Trump on like some news clip, and I like,
out of the corner of my eye, I was like, oh,
is that Alec Baldwin doing Trump? Like Trump is turning
into Alec Baldwin's impresent, Like Alec Baldwin's impression saw the
future of Trump, and it's just like his face is
like collapsing in on itself. I still think Anthony and
Tamanik still does the best Trump. Oh yeah, for sure. No,
I've never thought ALC. Baldwin's Trump was worth a damn

(22:44):
But like now it's like almost starting to resent. Trump
is almost starting to resemble. It always looks like Trump
after he just like sucked on a lemon or something,
and Trump is just getting that permanent lemon suck face.
Soul is imp Yeah, well, speak of our fearless leader.
The President recently made a comment about how the army

(23:06):
would shoot back at any migrants that threw rocks at
the border as the caravan approaches. People in the military
and soldiers who have any experience in war zones or
just anywhere, uh said, Oh, we get rocks thrown at
us all the time, and shooting the people who throw
them is a war crime. Motherfucker. Like that is not

(23:30):
how we get down. But he said he would consider
rocks firearms. Uh so the fire right. I don't know,
and I still don't understand. Yeah, what the reason we
bring this up is because in Nigeria there was a
demonstration of about a thousand Muslims who were protesting the
release of one of the their leader, this guy shikibraheim Zakzaki,

(23:51):
and he was detaining back in after what the Nigerian
government called a clash, but they ended up killing about
a thousand of their members um and these protests led
to basically the Nigerian army firing live rounds at the
protest and according to the group, they say the numbers
close to fifty people that were killed. The government says
it was only six. Um but this only shot six

(24:13):
unarmed civilian. Yeah, well that was sort of their take
because this is what these oppressive regimes do. So after
all this like outrage over it, the Nigerian armies like
twitter account just tweeted a video of Trump saying this
exact thing about how rocks could be equated to firearms. Uh,
and then it said like watch this video and make
your own deductions. So again cool. These are the knock

(24:35):
on effects of you know, Trump becoming the figurehead of
the United States. Not to say that these kinds of
human rights violations just started happening because of Trump, but
now just interesting, Now be like, well this guy just
said it. Yeah, and so that's our response is tweeting
a fucking video. Also, Nigerian Army has their own Twitter
account where they're tweeting. Yeah. Yeah. They also tweeted out

(24:56):
this really hilarious meme though, you guys should check it out. Chalk. Yeah,
it's interesting. I mean it's again like we always talk
about how much he resonates with these strong men leaders
and things like that in these despotic regimes, and like
it's just really fucking disgusting. They all use fake news now,
like they all putin everybody MBS. They all love that

(25:18):
fake news ship because he made it work. He I
mean what we were talking about up top that the
economist was talking about, once you have a world where
people can just dismiss all facts, all truth, then you
know you're you're in a good place as a strong
man dictator. So he's he's breaking new ground. He's really

(25:38):
avant garde, except it's the military guard and I think
they're arresting everybody. I think what people forget in America
is that the international news is watching Trump and everything
that's happening internationally, like these elections that are happening tomorrow,
really um are resonating internationally and what Trump says affects

(25:59):
everyone and not like literally everyone in the world, because
all of the national international policy is u predicated on
how Trump moved forward with his speaking, right. Yeah, so
that's a great segue. We're going to talk about the
elections that are happening tomorrow. The New York Times kind
of did a recap of where we're at with the house. Uh,

(26:21):
and you know, they they acknowledged up top. It was
on their podcast The Day, d Or Dale, I don't know,
I don't know. Michael Berber familiar. Yeah, my Michael barbera
some Third RDE podcasts, some Third Rade Daily News podcast
where they acknowledge up top. You know that we had

(26:42):
it wrong. We said chance that Hillary wins heading into things,
and people were just like, well, that's pretty good we win.
Uh and didn't bother to vote enough, but they're pulling.
Expert pointed out that if you're just like looking at
the live odds in a sporting event, uh, an American
football team that has a one touchdown lead going into

(27:04):
the fourth quarter has an eight chance of winning. Like,
you wouldn't turn that game off. You'd be like, oh, ship,
this is gonna be a good a centig. Uh. So
that's about actually where the Democrats are when it comes
to taking the House. There at about on uh and uh,

(27:24):
the poll expert was breaking it down that the Democrats
need twenty three Republican seats. They need to take away
twenty three Republican seats in order to win control of
the House. Uh. And he said they've they're comfortable and
about twelve and then there are these thirty that are
too close to call, and they're not getting any more

(27:44):
democratic as we approached the election. Now that might sound like, okay,
well the odds are in democrats favor because you know,
let's say they're all toss ups, it'll go fifty fifty.
That's still enough to get to twenty three. Except he
pointed out that's not how national house elections work. A
lot of the time, the too close to calls all
tend to break in one direction or the other because

(28:06):
they're all reacting to the same stimulus and the same trends. Uh. So,
you know, that begs the question, what trends may they
be reacting to this election? And they kind of gave
their ideas and they still made it sound like a
toss up, But I just feel like worst case but

(28:26):
very realistic scenario. And the one that I find the
most convincing is that this Trump fearmongering and like race
baiting and just like swinging the wedge issues around like
an axmer have probably worked. Like they've successfully recreated the
conditions of two thousand sixteen. The Kavanaugh thing basically recreated

(28:48):
the protect our white men way of life fuck me
too thing that the Access Hollywood tapes did. And Trump has,
you know, brought back all of the racist stuff and
the immigration stuff, and arguably he's been more successful this
time because he is the president now. And back then

(29:09):
we were like, oh, he's just some hack who's going
to get you know, swept in a landslide. But Republicans
are going to vote. There was a point where people
were like, it's gonna be a blue wave because Republicans
aren't engaged. I think Republicans are going to vote in
unprecedented numbers, like for an election where they have the
White House, and it's because no major American figure has

(29:31):
been this openly racist and shamelessly populist and just shamelessly
shameless in the history of our culture. And his approval
rating is rebounding everywhere, and I don't know, Republicans are
going to turn the funk out possibly an unprecedented numbers,
and it just comes down to the Democrats, like whether

(29:51):
Democratic voters are also going to turn out an unprecedented numbers. Um,
And it really comes down to millennials to be honest,
be is they're just at the point where, yeah, that's right.
You guys told me I'm a I'm just making I'm
on the cusp, I'm eight, I'm back with jen X,

(30:12):
you got We'll see if you guys fuck this up
and the generation next over here, that's right. But millennials
are just passing baby boomers for having more adults in
the world than baby boomers, and like it's there for
the taking. But there's a poll that says thirty percent,

(30:33):
like one third of millennials say they're definitely going to vote,
which isn't enough. Millennials have ship followed, Yeah, you a
third is not good, Like a third is not enough,
Like they need to show out in huge numbers. So
I don't know, man, I think this is not necessarily

(30:55):
going to go in the direction that everybody was thinking
and that even we were thinking in like a few weeks.
I mean, we'll only know till we know, you know,
like I think we'll only know till we know. I'm
optimistic that I think in certain races people are very motivated.
I think in other places maybe not so much. But
there's definitely there's energy on both sides, that's for sure,

(31:16):
and it's it's only slowly ramped up on the right.
But I think even to the point about the all
the uh toss up races, I mean, the fact that
those are even tight is a good sign because a
lot of those seats were like solidly red seats, and
that the thing to look into that means that there's
some kind of shift happening there. Hopefully it breaks the

(31:37):
way we need it to. But yeah, I think there's
another thing that kind of gets lost in that analysis
of about a lot of those seats is like, I
don't know if we talked about this, but like there
was a Washington Post poll that was like, oh, it's
things are getting tight. We don't know about those blue
wave thing, but they were analyzing i think something like
sixty nine different toss up districts and they were noting
that like sixty one of those were solidly Republican ones

(31:58):
that were becoming more blue. So you know, hopefully there
is that momentum can carry through. But yeah, I think
the bottom line is complacency is not going to help anybody. Yeah,
And like the to begin with, the election map was
really unfavorable to Democrats just overall. So even though we're
seeing a shift towards like some counties turning blue, it's still,

(32:21):
you know, not necessarily going to shift all the way
blue just because they got bluer. And I just feel
like the stuff that our listeners are seeing in the
mainstream media that we're seeing that we like we're saying
Pence took an l with the Oprah thing, but that's
being circulated on their side as just like a total

(32:42):
fucking wind for Pence and Trump and the right, right
because he said this isn't Hollywood, Like A, I don't
really trust polls, right because how are they getting their information?
How are are they calling voters? Are they knocking on
dope doors? And then b I'm really thinking about redistricting
and census and the long term because the reason why

(33:03):
these districts are so read is because of how redistricting
happened in and now we're facing the election, so there's
gonna be redistricting after that. There's all this work being
done to dissuade immigrant voters from doing from signing up
for Census. They're trying to make people who are I
think immigration is up to be written down for Sensus,

(33:26):
like your immigration status, like asking the citizenship question on
the census, right, and so all these I think we
do have a lot writing tomorrow. But I do think
that we need to take a bigger step back and
look at the system that's in place, that's keeping the
Republicans in power, and how these preestincts have been chopped up,
and that's kind of the bigger fight that we need
to fight that, and also like how voters are being
purged from the roles, which is another one. Yeah, And

(33:49):
I think that's why we also reiterate, don't just vote
for those big ticket items. Don't just vote for your
centers and Congress. You will vote for the Secretary of
States and attorney generals and your local politicians too, and
your state led sgislatures, because those are the people who
are actually going Those are people who have a little
more power, the most power in terms of redistricting and
things like that and who you selected put in the
governor's house as well. So, yeah, Mike, you guys talked

(34:12):
about on the episode that I missed last week. You
can bring your phone into the voting booth. Yeah, I
know a lot of people think you you could fucking
bring a book whatever you need to, just can't bring
another person. Yeah, they just can't tell you what they
can't be like yo, yo, Look, they don't know what
I'm saying. Let's talk about Steve King because this is Yeah,

(34:37):
I mean, I think we just need to talk about
We all know he's a fucking racist, Nazi motherfucker and
he's hopefully he has asked is voted out Iowa. Please
do the right fucking thing and show this man the
fucking door. If you guys aren't listening to Behind the
Bastards already, that's a podcast on our network with Robert
Evidence from Cracked, and it's an amazing podcast. But he
had Cody Johnston and Katie Stole on from all three

(35:01):
Formula of Correct to talk about all the white supremacists
who are running this mid term and Steve King is
is a big one. Uh well, yes, I mean, look
for those of you don't know suffice to say, he's based.
He's just a Nazi. Okay, he's just in Austria. He
met up with some neo Nazis in Austria, came back
and was like, Hey, if they came to the US,

(35:22):
they'd probably be Republican. No, they would be Republicans. And
we already know that. But the reason we bring it
up because last week his ship is melting down because
I think Iowans are starting to actually find a like
a threshold they're not willing to cross with his rhetoric.
I mean because he's been in office for a while,
but now just sort of the aggressive way he's speaking
is starting to turn people off. His Democratic challenger is

(35:45):
closing in on him. He's losing money left and right,
like Land of Lakes, Butter is like, sorry, not fucking
with anymore. And apparently that's big in Iowa if Land
of Lakes is not fucking with you. He was doing
a presser or something right before the election and young
man just asked him a question about the parallels in
his ideology with the synagogue shooter, and the reaction of

(36:07):
Steve King was very telling and the terrorists who committed
this crime. He was quoted as saying, they bring invaders
and the killer people. I can't sit back and watch
our people get slaughtered. You Steve King has been quoted
as saying, we can't restore our civilization with other people's babies.

(36:28):
You and the shooter both share an ideology that is
anti immigration. Not associate me with that shooter. I knew
you were an ambusher when you walked in the road.
I knew you were in just he knew off top
what was going on, and he's so so trying so
desperately to obscure the fact that his ideology is one

(36:51):
and the same with this man. Uh, it's just a again,
it's just very telling when you see someone gets so defensive.
Racist hate being called out for what they are, and
Nazis hate being called out for what they're because they
know it's is shitty or maybe this case, I don't
know if Steve King is playing some kind of real
warped mental jiu jitsu to try it back like, well,
I'm different or not from Germany, so I'm not a Nazi. Yeah.

(37:13):
By the end, he's like, get this guy out of here.
I mean, like voices cracking, And it's just funny because
this dude is just sitting there calmly. He seems like
he's like sixteen years old, and he's like, no, I
think he's a little bit he's he's hey jen Xer,
he's like eight, and he's sitting there with his iPad
and his you know, probably playing Fortnite, Yeah, playing Fortnite

(37:37):
on his on his game Boy, and he's, uh, yeah,
he's just calmly like asking him the question, and Steve
King just loses his fucking money and like, you didn't
get see, because I think he wants people who are
maybe still ignorant to the fact of how overtly racist
he is. He doesn't want people to start putting things

(37:58):
together that just seems like out of pure survival. He's
like whistling only exactly. He's like, don't put my ship
side by side with Actually, we can't restore our civilization.
Get the funk out of here, Poppy, because civilization is
coming now. This is a lean Republican district still according

(38:22):
to the Cook Political Report, but it was likely Republican
not too long ago. So yeah, I mean it's moving
in the direction of the Democrats. But this dude is
openly a white supremacist like he openly like supports just
straight up Nazi policies and Nazi ideals, and he's running

(38:43):
against a guy who's like a true outsider. He's like
a minor league baseball player who's just like ship man,
I've got better ideas than this guy. And the more
people have seen him, the more they've like been like,
oh shit, like Republicans, but this is like a real dude.
I'm like, you know, he's an outsider who might actually
get things done. Uh. And the more they see Steve King,

(39:04):
the more they're just like, Holy Jesus, this guy's a lunatic. Anyways,
it'll be interesting to see how that race ends up against.
He's running against j. D. Sholton, who's a performer, a
former professional pitcher who's uh, you know these former minor
league baseball players from Hollywood with their liberal policies. But

(39:28):
he actually just got a big infusion of cash. He's
a left hander, so we know what that means, your
socialist We just high fived with left saw that. Uh.
But yes, Steve King has just been staying in power
on the backs of like Koke Brothers money and you know,

(39:51):
when you actually go and talk to Iowan's They're like,
we don't like this motherfucker, like Districts really does. Yeah,
Like one of the crooked media guys was saying that
he did a lot of work in Iowa like during
the Obama administration. Like uh, he was like, oh man,
this is definitely going the way of Democrats, because like

(40:11):
everybody's like really woke in liberal there, and when you
talk to them, they're like, yeah, we don't like Steve King,
but it's just the other options haven't been good. So yeah,
we'll see where those goats put a dog up there.
Anyone but a nuts people, Jack, can you tell us
a little bit about the Catholic Church? And how many
speaking of anyone but a Nazi. So we all witnessed

(40:37):
the retirement of a pope, the first retirement of a pope,
I think in sixty or six hundred years, about five
six years ago, And so I assumed that dude like
evil conservative rat Ratzenburger pope youth, Nazi Nazi youth, that
he had just gone off onto like some pasture. He

(40:57):
like went to some farm to run around with all
the good dogs whose owners can't take care of them anymore. Um.
But like I just imagined he was out of the picture. Um,
and lately there's been some background noise about the cool
Pope being forced to resign. Be comparatively cool, yeah, cool,
comparatively cool pope, yes, because of his response to some

(41:19):
of the sexual abuse scandals that are plaguing in the church,
and that it was a group of conservatives that are
trying to force this through because they hate how liberal
and you know lit as you guys say he is
with his fire ask liberal policies of gay people might
be all right and divorced people can go to church. Uh,

(41:40):
I know he's really out here. But anyways, he has
been at the forefront of like holding bishops. He's been
way better about holding the Catholic Church to account when
it comes to sexual abuse. He funked up a couple
of times, and the conservatives are just you know, pouncing
on that, even though the conservative Catholic Church is like
way worse about that. But the thing I didn't know

(42:02):
is that the conservatives are being led by the Nazi Pope.
Nazi Pope has been behind the scenes. So he when
he resigned, he didn't leave the Vatican. He had like
he just left the room four months before he resigned,
he knew he was in some ship. There was like
all these investigations being done. Like that's why he resigned
is because there was like a you know, gay prostitution

(42:24):
ring that was being run through like through the Vatican. Uh,
like all these documents were revealed, and like everybody, everybody
who worked for him, like all the top cardinals were
just these backstabbing, messy bitches who were just like so
like all about power, did not seem to have the
values of the Catholic Church. So he knew he was
gonna have to resign. And so there was this one

(42:47):
like place monastery where uh, you know, like high up
cardinals got to chill, and he basically renovated it starting
four months before he resigned and made it into like
this lavish palace and then was like, okay, that's where
I'm going. And now he lives in this palace in
the back of the Vaticans. Way did he use the
church's money to risk what If you guys haven't seen

(43:11):
Nazi pope's his name was Benedict. If you haven't seen
his gear, like what he wore. He immediately started wearing
these like red leather slippers that are just like the
fanciest shoes that you've ever seen. This he exactly, which
he just went like full yeah, pim pet like yeah.

(43:37):
And so he put his main dude as the like
essentially the chief of staff in the Vatican for whoever
succeeded him, so that he could still like spy and
like pull the strings from behind the scenes. And that's
partially why cool Pope like lives in a shitty dorm now.
Is first of all because he's like, I took a

(43:57):
bottle of poverty when I became a priest, but it's
also because he doesn't want evil pope spies seeing like
what he's up to, so he just lives in like
this apartment building on the outskirts of the Vatican. Well
fucking Nazi Pope is in like his palace, just pulling
the strings, trying to take his ass out, and it's

(44:17):
exactly and then they're going to move out to the
country together and realize that the same they're both um anyways,
there it's just a crazy story that I didn't know
what was going on behind the scene because I thought
we're always used to the pope just dying and then
they're being a new pope and that makes sense to
six years since he see he's sneaky. Yeah, when you

(44:40):
have two popes alive, Like the author of this piece
in Vanity Fair was saying, like, this is the first
time there's been two popes live at the same time,
and like it's not like when you say I retire,
you stop being the voice box of guy. It's not
like God throws your retirement party. So like his followers
are still like, no, that's our guy. Like that he
doesn't stop. What is his position becoming? Is he become

(45:02):
like a bishop or something. He's at it, he gets
a demotion or I don't like former pope. Yeah, former pope.
There isn't really that I'm aware of. There's not like
a name for it because there hasn't been one six
hundred years. Uh that I think they still call him
Benedict the which is his pope name, but they're This
author is basically predicting there's going to be a conflict

(45:24):
between you know, liberal pope because the this pope is
the most liberal. He's like moving things forward for the
Catholic Church more than any pope and like hundreds or
even like millennia, and so he you have like this
especially conservative pope followed directly by this liberal pope, and
both of them are alive at the same time, which
is something that hasn't happened a long time. And he's saying,

(45:45):
there's the Catholic Church has headed for like a schism
that is going to be the biggest like conflict in
the Catholic Church since Martin Luther. Yeah exactly. Yeah, so
we'll see. Man, it's been a while. What was that
tempanty for? So yeah, that was a while back. All right, Well,

(46:05):
hey shows you uh, you know, no matter what, the
workplace is messy. Yeah. We also shows like what, no
matter where we are in this world, Nazism is kind
of growing. There's still conservatives out here just trying to
suck things up for people who aren't to them. God,
the fact that he cheated and just renovated a fucking

(46:27):
monastery to be like, Okay, I'm gonna live there now
and I use the funds to do that some great
a scamming, my man, I know for real. Also, one
detail of Ratzinger is uh, is that right? Ratzinger? Ratzinger? Uh?
I don't know. I confused his last name with the
guy from Cheers. But anyways, one detail is that he

(46:48):
retired with this dude who is like his right hand man,
who is like beautiful, Like everybody's like, this is a
beautiful man's actually pretty stunning. Yeah, and he was like
the oh my good, I haven't seen him yet. I
don't want to see him. But I mean also, like

(47:09):
by side the pope is very old looking, at guy's
very young and he's just got an inner glows. He
was the inspiration for like one of the fashion weeks,
like in two thousand seven or two thousand eight. They

(47:31):
were just like, this man is so beautiful who's always
around the Pope, that he is going to inspire our
two thousand eight fashion week. But anyways, so that the
rumor is that their relationship is more than his right
hand Yeah, they're booed up and that's what was going
to come out. So he got good taste though, But

(47:53):
this dude is his loafers on point and his man's
is a snack. But actually, but his ends is uh
one of the main dudes who's pushing his agenda out
for him for him and they call him what Yeah,
I think it's Bella Georgio gorgeous. Oh my god, Bella Georgio.

(48:15):
Please it is really though. I mean the new cool
pope who is just cool for being a pope, is
still like his values are pretty good, like for like
as somebody who grew up Catholic like a lot of
this ship. He says, it's like, well, finally somebody like
seems like they actually read the Bible or something like yeah, compassion, Yeah,

(48:37):
that seems to have been missing for a long time.
And now there's a dude who so yeah, as cool
as a Nazi pope might seem with his dope shoes
and his beautiful boyfriend. I'm still pulling for cool pope. Guys,
you heard it here first, Glad, that's the Daily Minute.
That's who Jack is endorsing. All right, we're going to

(49:01):
take a quick break. We'll be right back, and we're back.
And Miles, you pointed out this A V Club article
that got us talking. Yeah, well just merely the headline.
I was like, that is such a great question. At

(49:21):
the A V Club, I think they were just asking
around their office to the editors over there, just saying,
what's the first movie soundtrack you loved? And I really
you realize that is something you know back in our
day in the millennial age, we should buy CDs soundtracks, Jack,
I think you bought eight tracks maybe or LP records, Yeah, records, Yes,

(49:43):
for when Saturday Night Fever came out. I think that
was your favorite. But yeah, I'm just so confused by
your ages by least references. Oh yeah, I'm thirty four
so and Jack is Yeah, I'm in my early eighties.
Actually he was born in the early area. But yeah,
it just got me thinking, like that is such a
great question. I think one of the first soundtracks I

(50:06):
like lost my mind over which is weird is the
bas Lerman Romeo and Julia Real right so good? Yes,
I say that. I repeat, I had two of them
because I lost one. Yeah, yes do Local Guy was
one of my favorite songs. Uh. And what else? The
garbage song crushed was was it? What was it called?
And the thing about that CD was it was you

(50:26):
had to listen to it in sequence because it was
like lined up to kind of go with the mood
of the movie. Right, so good. It had my gud.
I mean I just did it off last year because
I went to the cemetery to watch when they were
doing the Summer Sea. Yeah, and I watched it again
and I was like, that has some And then then
they had a volume two. That's when you know the
soundtrack is good because the students get greedy and they're like,

(50:48):
can we milk this movie for another one? That one
was a dud, but okay, number one Crush was on there, right,
that was a garbage I Would Die for You and
Local God by ever Clear. Then the other one, uh, dude,
kissing You by Desiree gives me chills. Then there was
the other one, A Loveful by the Cardigans. I mean,

(51:08):
there were so many classics on there, and even there's
a Radiohead that Actually that soundtrack started getting me more
aware of Radiohead too. There's what's the Radiohead talk show host?
Oh interesting? Yeah, was my year of the soundtrack In
my early thirties, I both pulp fiction and equally classic

(51:32):
movie Above the Rim both came out, um, and those
soundtracks those were in heavy rotation there, and I actually, like,
I remember going on a family vacation and pulp fiction
like was something the whole family could listen to in
the car, so like especially like even the interludes in between, Yeah,
I love you, Pumpkin, I love you honey. But everybody

(51:53):
be cool, this is a move and you're like, yeah, yeah,
this is great Jack. But yeah, I was heavy into
that and Reservoir Dogs. But after the fact, like the
once the pulp fiction soundtrack was out, I was, I
went back and checked out. Yeah that that above the
Rim soundtrack, Sugar Night had that fucking thing on lock.

(52:14):
That was the ship. I mean that had regulators. But
then there was like a Lady of Rage had a
good songs. There was a song with like Tresh and
like a bunch of my other favorite rappers at the time.
I love Tresh from Naughty by Nature. Back then, uh,
I used to wear overalls, wear bat and gloves. Wore

(52:36):
the overalls like the batting glove he would wear without
a shirt underneath. Yeah, I could feel quite when I
was eleven. But but you were wearing cross colors, right,
Yeah I was, and I also did their racism could
pull that off according to the people I in my
town because they all wanted to beat me up. Uh wait,

(52:58):
so ta's yours? Actually? Is the room? Juliet soun Well,
I think it's that or the Empire Record soundtrack, which
is the other one that I was really into. We
used to every time we used to get together in
high school. That was the one movie we would keep renting.
I don't know why we didn't buy it, and we'd
play that on repeat, say no more more, any more
good now? Like last song, the Sugar High song was

(53:18):
like my anthem because I used to get really hyper
in high school, so I would always eat sugar. And
then that's very on brand, very on brand. The song
I was thinking of was a dog Pound for Life.
Oh yeah, this is dog Pound for Life. I just
don't give a fuck. Yeah, y uh, there was. I

(53:42):
think the songs I was thinking of are the bonus tracks,
but Loyal to the Game and Riddler. Yeah, that was
the that was the ship. The first bonus track I
think I remember was at the end of Dukie the
Green Day album. That was like the first time you
were like, you know that last song to it, and
then like a song comes I was like, this is weird. Yeah,

(54:04):
but I didn't you know, Yeah, all those minutes spent
listening to empty stay sound. Yes. Also on the end
of the jay Z Unplugged album there's also a good
hidden track to there You Go Anyway. That's all I know,
all right, Yeah, let's keep it moving. Let's check out
the Bloyd watch. Life and Style, you guys has a

(54:25):
new twist on an old favorite. So we've talked about
how they have remixed and just found different ways to
report that Brad Pitt and Jennifer Anderston have gotten back
together just every which way. They're pregnant, they're married, even
though they have not been pictured together. All of the

(54:47):
pictures of them together are just photoshops. So Life and
Style found a new way to get us interest in
that story. They say jen in shock, they're dating and
it is Jennifer Anniston's ex justin justin throw and Angelina
Jolie what the and then and then inside right, it's

(55:07):
always like a source says they saw them canoodling, steamy
texts and secret sleepovers, and then that's just never backed up.
Nobody saw this. It's just made up. But they sold
all the magazines when Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt were together.
So and like when the Angelina ship broke, like that

(55:28):
was they made just billions. I think they must have
just made that was the hey day, Yeah, that was
the heyday. So they are just trying to recapture that
glory like that it's the same thing with any sort
of media based indus. She's like, now, how do we
reboot this thing that's a real life event? Oh and okay.
Magazine they're saying that Megan and Harry are leaving the

(55:50):
Royals for their baby. Harry vows, I won't let my
child end up like Diana beautiful and I'm not sure
if famous, but like, are they teasing the con spiracy
theory about her death because she was with Yeah, Like
is that what they're trying to say that, like being
in the Royal family comes with all these like there's
darkness or whatever. But inside they're saying that he's willing

(56:11):
to throw it all away, including walking away from his
title and his one hundred fifty million dollar trust fund
plundered on the backs of people subjugated all around the world.
I'd imagine he said no, I'm damn. They're like, yeah,
have you been to the National District It's all stolen shit,
um and yeah. And then they're saying, like Megan is

(56:33):
kind of convincing him like California, Man, it's the way
to go. So they're gonna leave all that, say can
raise the baby to be a just dope as weed
smoking California is going to move to La Yo. That
would be tight. And I'm saying if if he moves here,
I will be friend Harry because we have the exact
same birthday and I'm gonna and that'll that in my mind,
that's all I have to say to him. For us

(56:54):
to just the next move is us sparking a blunt
So I'd be like, hey, you know, we have the
same birthday and he'll be like, you got weed, and
I'm yes, friendship achieved. But yeah, it's weird when they
talk in here about like the Diana thing, it's just
sort of they just say that Harry has experienced all
the negatives that come with being part of quote the Firm,
explains the insider, referring to the death of his mother,

(57:16):
Princess Diana, who has killing a car crash while being
chased by paparazzi. And that's still what movie the firm. Yeah,
I don't, I mean, yeah, I guess they call you know,
like they call like like gangs over the firms or whatever,
like Bouligans are like, yeah, they call him different. They
refer to themselves as firms, But I don't know. They
still don't really quite connect how that has something to

(57:38):
do with the fate of their child. So I guess
they just know they have to use like emotional stories
like Princess Diana and death baby. He know he doesn't
like that, but bye to California guys. Gwen and Blake,
they're having a girl. Gwen Stefan is actually I VF

(57:58):
miracle at forty on. That's crazy that she's forty nine.
She looks amazing mazine, but so turns out when you
actually read the sorry to give and takeaways like that.
But they're evidence for this other than sources say, which

(58:22):
they never do. Uh, that is that she was drinking
water on Halloween and her Halloween costume was skin tight,
which wouldn't that mean that she was trying to cover up.
They use like they're excuses for calling someone pregnant, or
she's wearing baggy clothes, she's wearing she drank water, she

(58:43):
was was walking down the street looking distressed. He got
a woman pregnant And there's a fucking bombshell and in
Touch that I would have maybe bought this magazine had I, uh,
you know, not had Jupiter yeah been dumber. Uh So
In Touch is only three nine nine. No, that's not

(59:06):
the bombshell. It says it's official. Kate named queen dying.
Queen Elizabeth gives up throne and they have a picture
with her wearing the throne and just looking crown the
crown and just looking uh. And you know, William gave

(59:27):
Kate Diana's favorite crown. They've got a little picture of
him looking very regal and uh. But then inside, what's
actually being said just that sources say, sources say this,
but they also make the point that the queen is
a good business person and from the Queen's perspective, Charles

(59:48):
is a douche. Basically, he's not on brand. Have you
ever have you read like real stories about Prince Charles.
He's just like, h you know, he's a hothouse flower
in the sense that like he was raised as a
prince and like so he's just like he still calls
his mom mummy, of course, and he is just a nurse, yeah, basically,
like you would expect him to still have a wet

(01:00:09):
nurse based on his behavior and he just like is
he is literally the cartoon of like unentitled rich Kid.
I'm pretty sure there's a movie about that Oh yeah,
it was called a Christmas Prince on Netflix last year.
But well, what happens to the queen when she dies?
Like who's next? Or what's happening Prince Charles? And they're

(01:00:33):
they're making the point that like he's not going to
be a good king. It's going to be really bad
for the royal family. So the Queen being the smart
businesswoman that she is, which I'm assuming that's true. I
don't know that she has a Netflix series, everybody seems
to like it. She can't just be like dumb. So
I mean, I mean, she was born into some gigantic

(01:00:55):
empire of us. What makes her an interesting character on
that that like serious? She just I don't know, Oh
that's for y'all, man, I neither, but uh yeah. So
I mean they're just saying that she can pass the
throne to a new generation Kate and William. She would?

(01:01:20):
Is that how that works? That's what That's what they're saying.
And I mean they they've never lied. They've never lied
once to me before, yes, and then also in the Globe,
I just have to say that they they're trying to
pin like they found this woman who says she was
partying with Chris Farley the night of his death, and
she's like, I left Chris Farley to die after seventeen
hours of sex and drugs. It's just like, you're really,

(01:01:41):
I don't know. I don't know why they're raising the
specter of of Chris Farley, but I don't know. It
must be slow. Yeah, they they're trying to pin it
on a woman. You know. I don't know if I
said this before on the show, that when Chris Farley
died went like, was that ninety six or nineties seven? Um,
My mom came to pick me up from school, and
when she picked me up, she was like, you know,
Chris Farley died. And I was like, oh my god,

(01:02:02):
I gotta tell my friend Chris, because one of my
friends Chris in school was like a Chris Farley fanatic.
And I like, I got out of my mom's car
and I ran back onto the school campus to find
him just to tell him, because this was before news
or phones and ship and I was like, and I
wanted to see a soul die when I tell him
his best man died. So I said, oh my yo, dude,
Chris Farley died. And he goes, no, you're fucking lying.

(01:02:23):
I go, no, dude, my mom just told me. He goes, well,
your mom's a bit like also and mostly distraught. I
was like, and I didn't get mad. You know, normally
someone calls your mom a bit, you're like this kind
of put hands on you. But he was way bigger
than he would have sucked me up. But I could
just tell how mostly when she ran off, and I
was just like, you know what, you got to heal
in the whatever way you got to. And I know
you don't mean my mother's a bit because you're like

(01:02:44):
coming over and you respect my mom ied it up
with him since oh yeah, we laugh about it all
the time. Yeah, but I just want I like how
you skipped over the actual cover story of George Clooney
getting divorced with a mom. Oh yeah, I don't because, yeah, dude,
do you think that's real booze? I mean, because again,
all of these are owned by David Packer, who loves
Donald Trump. So whenever he can smear people who are

(01:03:05):
like on the left, it's just like it'll always be
like amal Is you know, the fucking money and Bessler
and she might have ties to Islamic extremist groups or
something that's like these are the selationship they have in there. Yeah,
but everybody who like worked like so, like David's Bade,
Phil Hartman, like Mike Myers, all those dudes who like
worked on the show back then. Adam Sandler, I'll say

(01:03:27):
that he was just like in person, the funniest human
being that's ever existed. Chris Farley, I don't doubt it.
He looked like a dude to hang out with. Well, Taz,
it's been so much fun having you, Oh my gosh,
on this election, Eve so excited to talk about elections.
Do you think people should vote? What do you think?
I think you should? All right, you heard it here

(01:03:48):
first official stance of the show. You should vote? Maybe
tas Where can peopoth find you? You can find me
at TASI star on all the socials. Yeah, you got together.
And also I host a podcast called Good Muslim, Bad
Muslim with my friend who's been on the show. Z

(01:04:11):
do give us a listen. It's a lot of fun.
It's a monthly podcast where we talk about being Muslim
and women and politics. Yeah, that's a very dope show. Yes,
uh And is there a tweet you've been enjoying. Have
you been following Hassan Minaj and his new show Patriot Act? Yes, yes,
but I've I've read, I've been reading about it. So
he has his story, he has his tweet. Well, he

(01:04:33):
has a story that he was talking about um how
he proposed at Applebee's And he has this tweet that
he has of how his billboard is on an apple
Bee's and he says it is what it is, And
I think that's kind of funny. Lay miles. Where can
people find you? You find me Twitter and Instagram at
miles of Gray and I have There's two Reductors tweets

(01:04:56):
that I really like. One since the election is coming up.
It's it has a photo of a woman doing like
clenched awkward teeth smile where I call it the bird
shit smile, where it looks like you're trying to smile
with bird shit in your mouth. So it's like and
it says how to make small talk with your third
cousin from Georgia before begging them to vote. And then
another one was it says how to undermine yourself by

(01:05:18):
adding L O L to all your texts and it
has a screencap of someone's text threat and it says
someone broke into our apartment. L l shit. You can
follow me on Twitter at Jack Underscore O'Brien and a
tweet I like is a story being told by Andrew
Kazynski at k file and Twitter. There's a thread last

(01:05:42):
night about how this Republican Congressman Jeff Forton Berry. Uh, well,
first he he tweets a picture of a Jeff Forton
Berry for United States Congress sign and it just has
like really silly googly eyes over it, and it changed
the name to Jeff Farton Berry and uh the science
a strong, families strong, communities strong. And then someone put

(01:06:04):
odor over the last one. Anyways, the Andrew Kazynski tweeted
Republican Congressman Jeff Forton Berry's office called the bosses of
a University of Nebraska Lincoln associate professor for liking a
photo on Facebook on the picture of fort and Berry
that was vandalized with Google eyes on the caption Jeff
Farton Berry. So he didn't like send this because he

(01:06:27):
thought they did that. He sent it because they liked
a picture with this, and he was like, hey, fire
this person. Okay, So yeah, come on, guys, you claim
that liberals are sensitive. But anyways, well done by the
Jeff Farton Berry. Yeah, it's so juvenile to we're looking

(01:06:48):
at real problem. The fact that that's like the thing
that has like clearly gotten under his skin is just
so funny. Meanwhile, people are like setting fire to like
betto or signs and ship putting Google eyes and calls
him as Farton Barry. It's funny, have a sense of humor. Yes,
and he said to be clear that the professor was
not involved in the vandalism. At the side the congressman

(01:07:09):
is chief of staff are trying to get him in
trouble for liking the photo on Facebook. That's it, well done,
Jeff Farton Bart. But does that mean that, like all
of these campaign managers are spending all like their campaign
time just looking at who likes what? That's my question,
what the fun I don't know. He was just like, oh, okay,
that that's it, or maybe like a volunteer who knew
the professor, like oh you just you know, my professor

(01:07:32):
liked this, and then they think they're being there flexing
on the campaign. It's like what's happening in Brazil right
Like they're getting their attacking the Academi in Brazil right
now on the fascist regimes. So it's just kind of like, well,
this is how it starts. Yeah, but all these people,
it's just amazing that the election is coming up, by man, like,
how is this what you're worried about? You can follow

him if he had heard the new Swiss Beats album
