Zamboni brand is strong, well, not especially that I've mounted one.

(02:13):
You know what needs to happen? We should maybe No,
that's fine. I was just more focused on my bad
idea is that I would love to see like a
pimped that zamboni where your face is like airbrushed on
the hood and shipped like official zam Zam. I feel
like I would have to die first for that to happen. No, No,
that would be like rest in Paradise, I know, right,

I grew up in Seacock, Massachusetts. But it's like right
on the border of Rude Island. Yeah, east coast Massachusetts.
How is that? Is that costa situate? Yeah? All right, okay,
that's a nice one because people usually say Pilson, I
like that you came in with situation that like maybe

about Amazon taking over Kirkland is already, that's right. My
hometown was called Brockton was called shoe City because there
used to be a lot of shoe factories back when
things were made in America. And now there's one shoe

really they make golf stuff for golf. Yeah, that's the
one shoes. That's the one thing left is sho surviving
the irony though it's a business that appeals to like
one per center. We're like, that's like a boot for
like arc welders. It's like, hey man, you want to
like fucking exploit some working people on the golf course.

(05:12):
It's Massachusetts parasite. Well, shout out to the Great Commonwealth
of Massachusetts. I would never say state because I don't
want that smoke before we get to know you even better.
Alyssa and the Great Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Let's tell people
what we're gonna we'll preview what we're gonna talk about.
Corey Booker has dropped out. Uh yeah, that's the end
of that. Uh. Four embassies. That whole argument that Trump

(05:36):
had as to why he had to put everyone in
the world in jeopardy, that that story is just falling up.
It's disintegrating upon re entry into reality. Also, just you know,
some some back and forth with Bernie and the Elizabeth
Warren campaign. Um, just there's there's all. There's all kinds
of there's things going on, like he's he's surging and

(05:56):
now other stories are coming out. There's all. There's a
look lots going on. We have these primaries. People are stressed,
and I think we're seeing knives come out a little bit,
like people starting to be like is it time to start?
We'll see you get your little right rise out. Um. Also,
we're going to talk about the winners the Ritz Cracker competition.

(06:17):
I did not know, you know, Awards seasons in full swing.
We're talking about. You can't even get it what everyone's
talking about on Twitter this morning. I was like, I
can't believe it. She's like, congratulations to these crackers. Sorry. Um,
and uh yeah, we'll talk about the Oscar nominations and

(06:39):
many more. So. First, Alyssa, what is something from your
search history that you know it's a little revealing about
who you are? Well, I was thinking about this last night.
I couldn't really sleep last night, and I I googled
this is something I did google. Not the actors names.
I googled are Dwight and Jim friends in real life?

(07:02):
It's like that is that's like a four am search.
It's like what, I don't know who has You're then
googling from the reality of the show exactly, so like
it's not even it's not even like the editing have
the actor's names. It was just like, oh, you know,
I wanna I gotta know where they they're not. Are
Krasinski and Wilson a real duo? Yes? Right? Are they? Well?

(07:25):
See because the reason I looked it up is because
I have never watched The Office, like all the way
through the end, Like I used to just watch it
till when Michael left, and recently I watched the end
and I was like, it's really sweet. You really see
the two of them like they I think, yeah created.
And then I was like, oh, I wonder if there's
still pals. I mean they were, you know, every interview,
I feel like that question you never get. Every answer

(07:45):
you always get is like yeah, yeah, it's never like
you went to Aspen. They would Aspen together every person.
I don't Yeah, if there's not pictures of them at
lunch exactly, I don't believe it for a second. I'm
like show me the one picks or you're not real friends.
I agree, Well, it seems like also like I I
don't know if I'm wrong, but I feel like Rain

(08:05):
Wilson came out of like being like a theater actor,
and then so and then Krasinski was just more of
like I feel like they started in different places where
we're about somewhere rich probably I don't know where anyone
and Chris Evans are from like similar, oh to tell

(08:27):
so Yeah, I mean I feel like they seem like
sort of different people from their origins, don't. I feel
like we all looked that stuff up to just to
you just like it's it's like you want to believe
this thing. It's like searching like this, Dr Mifflin. I
just want to believe in like this. Yeah. The second
I realized they were shooting like in l A, I
was just like I was like, I'm driving up and

(08:48):
down those streets. I'm finding it. It was Yeah. I
mean I wasn't devastated because I grew up here, so
I knew nothing's really you here. Yeah, because that's how
I like, even when I found out like dwait Seinfeld
wasn't shot and like York streets of New York City. Yeah,
started Gilmore Girl with hit Connecticut Friends. Yeah, it's yeah,

(09:13):
nothing's really, Nothing's really Yeah. I wish they were the
one part in the post Michael Scott era of the Office.
I really liked when James Spader's character Robert California came
in the Halloween episode where he was like slow accepting everyone,
like figuring out their fears so he could tell that
ghost story at the end. I think it's really a
remarkable Yeah, he's I got James Spader's remark. Yeah, he's

(09:35):
such a an insane talent. He has such a good
creep vibe. Totally. Yeah, I never saw his episodes. Yes, yeah,
very It's it's like sort of right after Michael leaves.
It's like they settle on him taking over from Michael
after like the little cameos from like Will Ferrell and
Jim Kinger three episodes and then they decided on the

(09:56):
boss the CEO or something. I watched just so disjointed now,
but anyway, um, what's something that's overrated? Yeah, Okay, so
I know we're past the season, but I gotta say
I'm happy the holidays are over. I'm not a big
fan of like holiday food, Like I don't. I don't
go crazy over like Thanksgiving food Christmas meals. I don't.

(10:17):
Nothing excites me about those dinners. I'm glad to be
eating my snacks again. I'm glad to be back on that. Yeah,
is it? So? I'm guessing this is born out of
a pattern where Christmas time comes around and then you're
subjected to like the same three meals. Exactly why are
we still eating the same meals? So? Do I get it?
I don't eat turkey aside from Thanksgiving Day, but I

(10:39):
love stuffing. That's like the one thing I really get
excited about on that plate. It's not the turkey. And
then Christmas, I've never really had a consistent christ what's
Christmas meal for you all? Yeah? Christmas? We I'm Greek,
so we have this. Like my boyfriend was at my
Christmas this year and he was like, none of this
food is food to any human would eat like a normandy.
He's like this, it feels like it was food from

(10:59):
like a for an era. It's like yeah, heavy really
like heavy cream sauce, sauces and like Lasania. It's like
with none of us would eat. Yeah, it's meant to
do that. Everything to do that. Yeah, it's true. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I like Thanksgiving food. I like gravy, I like potatoes,
I like stuffing. My favorite food when I was a

(11:20):
kid was corn. Corn can give me weakness, Give jamiere corn, yeah, corn,
plate of corn, and just like go to my room.
But would like that, Yeah, I just I still do.
Sometimes Sometimes you're just like the little what do they
call them, the green giants? Yea packs. I have a

(11:42):
whole asking of corn. It's good, butter just well, it depends. No,
I kind of like corn in the raw. Wow, I'm
not like the girls. You know, I've got a secret, honey.
But like a holiday or apetially like a Christmas meal,
that's kind of chaos. I feel like every family has

(12:02):
a different especially if you have like if you're not American,
like you have any kind of immigrant background. So shout
out to Alas and the Greek people. Uh, and then also, um,
what does that mean? Like should we get a drink
or something? Yeah? Sure, I know the song. My Greek
friends would always sing that and I was like, what
does that mean? He's like, it means like, let's get
a drink. Songs are the best way to learn languages. Yeah,

(12:23):
because it's like melody even though like I don't even
know how to pronounce it, and then that's like the
one bit of common grad'll have. Um. But yeah, like
for me, like my mom will make just any random
Japanese dish because because half the time she doesn't know
it's Christmas. Do they know it's Christmas time? No, they
don't because they're not Christian and they live in another

(12:45):
part of the world. Very I was just thinking about
that song to take a tangent about, like, yeah, it's yeah,
most people wouldn't know that it's Christmas time, but yeah,
I just don't. Yeah, I don't have anything consistent I
eat for Christmas aside from maybe there's like a we'll
go out to eat. But yeah, like that. I love
getting back to normal routine. I love a routine too,
So it's like, yeah, I don't like the switching of

(13:07):
the Holidays are almost chaos. That's how I feel. Holidays
are like it's fun, but it's I felt so happy
getting back here and being like I'm going grocery shopping
and I'm like, yeah, right back to my things. How
I will say I was home for a while I like,
I want to. I was home for probably three weeks
or two in New York City, and you know, the
suburbs a lot of time. What's something that's underrated. I

(13:31):
love listening to FM radio. I don't think anyone listens anywhere.
People are like, the music is bad and there's commercial
all the time, and I agree both those things are true,
but I indulge in it. It's kind of nice to
not have to worry about. Like when I'm on Spotify,
I'm like, I gotta find the coolest music. I gotta
be the radio. It's like, just give me the like,
give me the song. I already know, I'm dry, I'm
stuck in traffic. Let me just belt out this, like

(13:52):
you know, thirty year old songs. Mr Brightsides having a revel.
You listen to the radio, you'll hear Mr. Brightside about
four times. It's that what a song? What's staying power?
It really won't quit, it won't. And if your son
could be any age, yes it could be. You could
tell me you came out in the seven like this year. Yeah, yeah,
I know it's yeah, but yeah. People always like, oh,

(14:14):
that's just ship on the radio. I'm like, yeah, great,
I love it. That's yeah. So for yeah, because it
takes the pressure off of you to provide a soundtrack
for yourself and choose the make the true and then yeah,
you just get to the reason like you hear the
same things over and over is because the way they
do ratings is like people wear this like they used
to wear a monitor like a Nielsen like pager you

(14:35):
had that would find out what station you were tuned into.
So because of that, a lot of people who work
in offices that just play radio over there um like
speakers in an office. It was like sort of artificially
favoring like Top forty stations because that's sort of the
most broad radio station you could play in an office.
So then other stations are sort of like, well, we
also need to be able to make sure that we're

(14:56):
playing a hit. So no matter what, if you fucking
tune to it and it's not one of the nine
million ads you're hearing, it's a fucking hit and you're
gonna stay for the chance to get that little bit
of a metric bump. True, yeah, but what wait, what
stations are you listening to now to get your your throwbacks?
Do you heart radio? Well, I have to say for
the record, I have to say off the record of

(15:17):
this is off the record, just between the three of
us and all the listeners. I love country music. So
not only am I listening to Top forty, I'm listening
to Top forty country music, Top forty Country. I feel
like that's like, yes, we're your favorite artists. Um, yeah,
I love I love Little Big Town, I love Old Dominion,

(15:40):
I love Zach Brown Band. But really I'm a I
grew up on country music. So I also think it's
probably a thing of like nostalgia being in l A,
being on a different coast, being like, oh, a lot
of things are unfamiliar here, but like this is something.
I'm in a car and listening to this music. I
could be in Massachusetts right now and it's Chris Gaines
and it's Chris coming through the speakers. Yes, yes, Garth Brooks,

(16:00):
what was what was his what was his alter ego? Yeah? Yeah,
I think that's it. Okay. I just want to make
sure you get an alter ego like Lady Gaga. He
had like the swoop bang and everything that's fun is
fun like that. Yeah, I didn't know they do that
in country music. They do like Beyonce Sasha fierce thing
out the whole was Chris Gaines. That's my favorite thing

(16:25):
about that is incredible. What a weird thing to do.
And he's got the little ship Beard triangle they call it. Yeah,
we're to want an alter ego and then go and
like the most like a disgusting facial like what if
I was fucking gross? It's more of an alter emo.

(16:48):
What is a myth? What is something that people just
get wrong? Like you know the truth about I'll tell
you what. There is no cure for hiccups, but time
and every time you get hiccups, every one in the
room starts going you gotta stand on your elp, block
your nostrils. It's like, no, this is just my pain now,
and I have to see it till it's end. And

(17:09):
that's it. There's no because if there's a lung spasm,
technically isn't it it's a lung spasm, diaph or, a
diaphragm is spasm, Yes, yes, And it's just got to
do it, say yeah, it's it's what's done is done.
I used to do every fucking remedy. Yeah, well until
not even joking, maybe seven years ago well and what

(17:30):
it hits and it's like bad. Sometimes you're still you're desperate.
That is, it's such a desperate thing that happens that
you'll listen to drinking upside down. You're like, sure, I
suck it. I would just be in my chair and
I would just put my head down the water and
I'm like, yeah, I know the drinking upside down thing.
It's like no one's ever been able to success and
we all go to choke. It makes a choke. Yeah,

(17:50):
And maybe it's a prank that kids were told just
to be like idiot, almost drowned yourself, right. Her parents
being like I just shut them up, get them on
their fucking head and let them drink upside there. Just
stop think that's another one. Just stop breathing and it'll stop.
My family was like big about pushing the fear element.
They're like, you just have to be afraid. And it's
like the worst kind of people will be will take

(18:13):
the fear angle and they'll be like, oh if I
fucking like stabbed you right now, you would stop hiccuping,
Like my cousin would like hit us around. Are your
hiccuping fears abuse to yeh? Yeah, to to incite violence
on your cousins and be like, I'm helping helping your
hiccups as cousins, like you'd be like, I'll stab you

(18:38):
with a big really think about that ship, yeahs think,
Oh that's horrifile. Yeah, he's doing great good, that's cousins.
That's what cousins do. A professional hiccup doctor. Yeah, yeah,
he just stabs kids with big pens and then all
of a sudden the're not hiccuppings. Who hasn't been stabbed
to the big pen though, to be honest, I don't
actually have are actually mechanical big pencil I've been hit with.

(19:00):
I've accidentally stabbed myself with a mechanical pencil accidentally. Well,
like I think, like and like whatever, you're in class
and then you're like, you know, like you were just
pounding your thigh with your fish pounded. I pounded my
thigh and thought and then I kind of tenderized your quad. Yeah, wow,
I care too much about blade tenderized. They call that

(19:20):
in the business. Um, okay, So onto some some news
that isn't as big as Chris Gaines soul patch. Just
I'm not even joking. Probably like twenty years ago. That's
going to change my day, Chris Gaines. And also knowing
you and your imagination, who knows what kind of creative
work will come out of you. Even being introduced to
Chris Gaines, agree right, like, oh my god, wait, actually, Jamie,

(19:45):
you could be Chris Gaines. I mean you should bring
I think you're the person to put a little soul
patch on swiped your bangs a little not to like
to my own horn, but I could look like Chris
Games do a whole motherfucker's solo on that horn, because
I believe in it. Um, Corey Booker, he has suspended

(20:06):
his campaign. It's lights out. What does Rosario say? I
don't know. I mean he just had a video where
he was very gracious and was like, you know, uh,
we took try our best and I will support whoever
the camp of the nominee is in the end, and
everybody down ballot, thank you so much for Corey Booker.
Like he's like a very like your soccer coach as

(20:28):
a kid, you know, like you lose everything and he's like,
that's okay, pizza. What I'm proud of is we went
out there on that field and we left it all
out there and we would lose ten nil, eleven nil
every time, but hey, we didn't score a single goal.
But hey, do you not feel totally He'll be I mean,
he'll be He'll be back. Yeah, he'll be back. I mean,

(20:49):
I think he was a great like he's as an
orator at good moments where he was really sort of
connecting the dots of some of the you know, emotions
around certain issue using and connecting that with certain policies.
But I think at the end of the day, like
when you look at the kinds of candidates who are
really getting the attention, anyone who's trying to be just

(21:10):
even you know, even near the middle right now isn't
quite getting this sort of enthusiasm. And I think he
was hoping for every person that dropped out he would
get a little bit more, a little bit more, and
I think it just never materialized into he wasn't willing
to go as far left as some candidates and also
wouldn't go as far right as Joe Biden. So you're
just sort of left in this like no man's land,

(21:30):
and especially with Trump, it's especially this election, it's just
not going to happen like where he's Trump so fucking
extreme that like, yeah, you need to go we need
someone like Bernie because it's like, yeah, Bernie's a response
to Trump, you know, or enthusiasm. Well anyway, king, he's
a king. When you have the pendulum going one way, yeah,
like it's only just creating more force for it to

(21:50):
go the other way, to sit in the middle. It's
like the pendulum will blow right by you. Yeah, it's
I liked. My head canon here is that Corey Booker
was like pacing or around the office is being like,
we cannot drop out before Marianne. We got it, we
need we have enough money to outlash and I'm gonna wait.
I'm gonna wait a week. So it doesn't seem like

(22:12):
that's what I was waiting to happen. Yes, she dropped
out like last Monday, and now he's like, okay, fine, okay,
it's been enough time. I feel like that was the
mantra in those campaign offices. It's just like just not
before marian Yes, Marianne was down to just herself in
her campaign office, and he's like, she's still not dropping out.
What she's she's got like magical bugs working for her.

(22:33):
She might she might have we might wait, we might
have to investigate. Mariam would employ Every bug is magical,
every book. There is no book that is not magical.
That's sister, that's the lights on here. Love it really does. Yeah.
But also cash. Yeah, so actually, if you're gonna send
love or cash, please send cash. But also but love works,

(22:54):
but just not as well. Well, we'll see, We'll see
plenty of Cory Booker in the future. Yeah, And I mean,
I think this sort of underlines the lack of diversity.
I think, especially when considering the support that African Americans
give the Democratic Party, there are a lot of people like,
why why isn't this field of candidates look more like
the people that who have been supporting the party, And
I think it's you know, eventually there'll be a candidate

(23:16):
that he ticks all the boxes. But I think for
Corey Booker, you know, his love of Wall Street and
Big Pharma not not exactly what is needed considering the
stakes and what Wall Street and Big Pharma means to
working people who cannot afford prescription drugs or get uh,
you know, an increase in wages. But we'll get to
that later on. Um So until then, let's take a

(23:38):
quick break and we'll be right back. And we're back,
and we should check in with the president who you know,
last week, I was trying to explain to the entire

(24:00):
world why he put everyone at risk with his just
very impulsive, impetuous decision to assassinate Solamani, the general in Iran,
but on Iraqi soil. So he says, so that authorization
of military force counts for this, even though is voted
on how many years ago. Um. You know, he's had

(24:22):
a lot of trouble getting support because even the briefings
he gave was pissing off senators who are Republicans who
normally love every single thing he does. But the utter
lack of clear explanation around the logic to go ahead
and do something like this, and just the lack of
like notificating like, oh my god, people, of course, well

(24:45):
I'm canceled. There talk notificating, and I'll tell you what. Look,
if you get canceled, I'll make sure you get that Zamboni,
thank you, ye culturally can Bony, I'm sorry, I just
ruined everything. No, No, you could also really tell last

(25:07):
week when you were listening to any interview with any
Republican that there was not a legit reason because they
were kind of like the way they were talking. I
was like, oh, that's how I would talk about it
if someone asked me right now. Well, there was there
was some definite, there was some there were some thoughts,
and it's like, what he didn't say anything there. At
a rally though too, he again there was all this

(25:28):
confidential information, classified information couldn't share because as we see it,
it sounds like there was no fucking reason. And also
we found out that seven months ago he had basically
greenlit some kind of attack. Um, so there was no
imminent threat. So let's just I mean, I don't know why.
I'm thinking the president would be honest and take accountability
in this instance, but he doesn't. Um. And at a

(25:50):
rally suddenly he gave this information out where he was like, oh,
this guy was planning all kinds of attacks, y'all, but
he directed the recent rocket strikes that wounded for American
service members badly wounded and killed an American citizen. That
was just before we happened to hit him. Solomony was

(26:12):
actively planning new attacks, and he was looking very seriously
at our embassies and not just the embassy in Baghdad,
But we stopped him, and we stopped him quickly, and
we stopped him cold. So again taking I don't I
don't know why he thought he was doing a WWF

(26:33):
like taunting session, but that's when he's playing to his crowds.
But again, you heard there he said, Oh, it wasn't
just that one, it was many other embassies. And then
that had a lot of people asking why didn't anyone
hear this? Like what this is? This never came out
until at a rally when the pressure is on, because
it's so clear that the administration has been lying. So

(26:54):
then on Sunday, Defense Secretary Mark Esper he went around
to the shows UM and I don't know what happened,
but he decided to tell the truth out loud to
a journalist on tv UM. He was asked, you know,
they were saying, like when he was asked about the
what the what the president was talking about with all
this embassy talk, he was saying, well, the president believed

(27:17):
he probably and could have there could have been attacks,
and then, uh, like any good journalist, they unpacked that
that sounds more like an assessment than a specific tangible
threat with a decisive piece of intelligence. Well, the President
didn't say there was a tangile. He didn't cite a
specific piece of evidence. What he said is he probably

(27:37):
he believed I didn't see one. With regard to four embassies.
What I'm saying is I share the President's view that
probably my expectation was they were going to go after
our embassies, our embassies the most prominent they went from.
So my man is are there receipts there for? Not
that I've seen. But and then he tried to do
the thing of being the homie and being like but like,

(27:58):
I get that he wastest that he might like that,
he was hungry, he had a bad day. Like I
get it. It literally sounds like justifying the like the
actions of like a ten year old kid. You're just like, well,
he kind of guess this way sometimes. So I understand
why that would be the reaction, but I personally cannot
account for So this is again, I mean, that's that's

(28:20):
an interesting split from the Pentagon and the administration and
a lot of people. I thought, well, is it possible
that the president saw intelligence that our own defense secretary didn't,
And most experts that I've seen and read who have
written about it have said there's absolutely no way, if anything,
the Pentagon would have seen things like more than Trump

(28:40):
has and then they'd pass that information along. So again,
this is the recklessness, um, and just a reminder of
like the the shitty, like the truly global, like full
scale global armed conflict levels of mistakes this president can make.
This is where we're teetering on at the moment um.
But don't worry, because I just want to also share

(29:02):
this interesting clip just to show you how Trump even
looks at how our military operates and why we send
troops and deploy them in certain places. He had an
interview with Laura ingram Um fine fine turd and basically
like informed her that the army and our armed forces
are basically now like like security for hire. Um. And

(29:25):
he was just talking about how like, oh yeah, like
the Saudis, the Koreans, they've all they've all put money
in our pockets. We're sending more to Saudi Arabia, and
Saudi Arabia's paying us for it. You know, we're doing
something that nobody's ever done. I said to Saudi Arabi.
We have a very good relationship with Saudi Arabia said, listen,
you're a very rich country. You want more troops, I'm
going to send them to you, but you've got to
pay us. They're paying us. They've already deposited one billion

(29:47):
dollars in the bank. We are going to help them,
but these rich countries have to pay for it. South
Korea gave us five hundred million dollars, gave us in
they gave us five hundred billion dollars. I said, you've
got to help us along. We have soldiers in South
Korea protecting you from North Korea. You've got to pay.

(30:10):
And they gave us five million dollars. What the so
right now, it's like, my man, like, what if we
just left, like you would get overran? Dude, maybe you
need to give us some money for that. Also, like,
just are are we running like our mercenary operation now?
I mean we kind of but it being like, okay,

(30:30):
you put your billion dollar down payment on and then
we will put American lives at risk based on whatever
you need them for. There's I mean, it's it's so
bald faced at this point to where yeah, he's describing
a business transaction that involves human lives, but in some
Mobsters Ship basically. Yeah, it's it's like how you would
picture like a back room deal to sound, but it's

(30:51):
just being like spoken in public. It shows you how
comfortable he gets with Fox, like where he can just
just out loud articulate the transgressions that he's committing, but
in a way where he knows like they're not going
to question that one's going to push back on and like, oh,
thank you so much, thank you for honoring us. That's
the crazy part of someone like him, where it's like
he's just done so much horrific stuff that there's like

(31:14):
you're allowed once you've done all that you're allowed to
it's like you you you build the base of crazy
over and over and over and bad and evil, and
then now it's like, oh that's just now. We just
assume that's what he is, so if he does anything
outside of that, it would almost shock us. Yeah. Yeah,
that's why I've keep telling ourselves this is not normal
and it's horrifying, and all we can do is pray

(31:35):
for a good outcome in November to try and write
the ship because it's this is to me, this is
like really the really frightening part because now we're talking
about like just launching attacks willy nilly without any consideration.
You're seeing the fallout from that, which was the jetliner
from the Ukrainian airliner getting shot down and the just

(31:57):
unnecessary loss of life from ye And then do you
remember then he tweeted literally like all as well while
it was happening, all a's well, it's like to tweet
all is well after like, well, just because yeah, there
was the missile strikes that came out of Iran into
Iraq where that no lives were lost, not to mention,
but you know how terrifying that would be if you're like, Hi,

(32:18):
we have to get into a shelter now, because like
when you look at what happened to those buildings, if
people were there, it would have been Yeah, and it's
like a complete lack of care for any like Iranian
lives and just it's just all it's bad. Um, So
let's talk a little bit about November because that's sort
of the only uh remedy we have at the moment. Well,

(32:41):
considering yeah, McConnell is basically gonna sounds like at this
point it's going to be a sham trial. M I'm
not seeing much movement with him saying that they're going
to have witnesses suddenly. But that's still developing. But I
don't have much hope in that. But Bernie Sanders has
really been surging in the last few weeks. I mean
he's now gotten endorsements from like the Sunrise Movement and

(33:03):
Dream Defenders and really sort of solidifying the like support
from the progressive wing, the left wing of the party
and celebs ariana grande feel like that was a fun one.
That was a fun one which one Emily Rodikowski endorsed
Bernie in what way? It was just like, I don't know, no,

(33:27):
I think Bernie is a good movement though I think
that idea. Were you talking about that? Well, I was like,
let's get some pasties and figure out what we can
do right, right, right? But yeah, Emily Rodikowski are in
a grande Cardi b Lizza, every Everyone's I mean, yes, please,
the more people you can make away fantastic of what

(33:48):
needs to be done and people need to turn out
in November. And it's great that the endorsements are coming now.
I feel like some of the celebrity endorsements come like
closer to the election and then it's yeah, there's enough
time still to you, I think, because it's really important
that like we right and have a nominee selected as
early as possible so to get that machine fully running
versus the knife party that looks like is up brewing slightly.

(34:10):
Because we're three weeks away from Iowa. You know, Bernie
and Elizabeth Warren are basically in a statistical tie when
you take in the margin of error. Um. And I'm
I'm glad to see that those are the two people
that are the front runners and not Biden and Buddha. Cha, Like,
we actually have people who, you know, to varying degrees,
have the same commitment to helping working people. Um. And

(34:33):
now you know, a lot of people thought Elizabeth Warren
was going to be the recipient of a lot of
these endorsements too, because towards the end of last year,
she was she was she looked like the one who
was gonna overtake Bernie, overtake Biden and be the nominee. Uh.
And now things are very unpredictable. But now we're starting
to see a little bit of I don't know, not
not shade because this isn't like really very malignant or

(34:57):
malicious in terms of what she's trying to say. But
because there was elaked script from canvassers that came out
for from the Bernie Sanders campaign, she's sort of described
it as being trashed, like that she would tell that
Bernie would she was hurt that Bernie would have his
volunteers trash her. But the script basically said that if
they were voting for Warren, or were if they were

(35:17):
interacting with the Warren supporter, that it was something like, oh,
that's great, she would be my second pick. I like her,
but um, do you know that her her base of
support is very homogeneous. It's like very much college educated,
high income people, and she's not necessarily adding to the
base of support, which is something that will be necessary
going in November. That was sort of the gist of it,
and that was the trashing line. Well, that's the things

(35:40):
I've seen that script before, and it's it feels like,
I don't know, I mean, it's like Bernie Sanders and
Elizabeth Warren, for it seems like a very long time,
I've had basically an agreement that it's like we're not
going to like politics, like trash each other in the
way the politics normally would but I don't know. I mean,
it's like that didn't feel like like it is factual information.

(36:03):
Like it's not like this sort of like tear down
TV ads of like Elizabeth Warren toxic kind of. I
almost see it as a positive, like to be like,
oh yeah, I I respect that choice, that would be
my second choice. It's not like it's saying like, oh,
we would never even that feels like trash to me.
Is when it's like, oh god, it's like no, that

(36:23):
she would be my second choice. It's like, you know,
I think any differentiation between the two candidates is going
to be taken as an attack or whatever. And I'm
sure there'll be plenty from both sides at a certain
point doing that. But you know, when Bernie was asked
about it, he was just sort of like, I'm friends
with her, and have you ever He's like, we have
a huge we have a large national campaign, just a

(36:46):
gigantic machine running. I don't know if that person if
I have people in field offices who are sending canvassers
out with that script. He's like, that's personally not that's
definitely not in my direction. Um, and he's like and
I've never said a negative thing about her, like with
my own word. It's in a public statement. So he's like,
why are we doing this? I could never be able
to I can, can you. I would be the worst

(37:07):
anytime anyone because I would. I would be like that.
I would any time anyone said anything like oh they
trashed me. Yeah. Like that's a very assentiative person who
could never be in politics. I like what I'm done
for the n every other day, like, oh my god,

(37:28):
And I don't get what. I don't even think that.
I'm so sorry, but I don't know there it seems
to me like that was that was a bummer to happen.
And um, this week, there's already been this story that's
come out of CNN that people on Twitter are freaking

(37:50):
out about. The headline is Bernie Sanders told Elizabeth Warren
in private meeting that a woman can't win. Sources say
whom story these sources we do not know. So I mean,
I it doesn't seem that seems very out of character
or out of context for to be reported by CNN.

(38:11):
But I think that, like because Bernie and Warren have
sort of been generally like not wanting to trash each other.
Now there's just like media narratives coming out that's like
just trying to put them against the other anyways. But
that's just because like you know, like people who are
would would prefer for the Buddha judges and bidens of

(38:32):
the world to be in power, have vested interest in
turning these two progressives against each other. And yeah, those
people are shooting themselves like they're like, um, Bernie Haye
women like there, it's it's there. There's a really good
um Twitter thread that came out over the weekend from
Patti Harrison, who is the best um. But she's basically

(38:55):
just talking about like her like her background of like
growing up in a conservative Emily and just having the
ability to be patient and talk to just literally different
progressive people with different opinions and instead of like the
worst possible thing that can happen is for people who
are really passionate about Bernie and people who are really
passionate about Elizabeth Warren to like eat each other and

(39:18):
like we've seen this before to like, I mean, there
were definitely bigger political differences between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders,
so it just makes it all the more frustrating to watch,
like we're all basically the same here, and there are
like minutia things where it's like, there are things I
don't agree with about certain but it's like not enough
to like attack someone who feels that way. That's just

(39:41):
like the most counterproductive letting the right and if we
do that, like we're letting like we're yeah, and the
candidates seem aware of that. So it's like everyone, you know,
I kind of like to think the voter base does too.
Like I feel like there's been a lot of Twitter,
at least on Twitter. It does feel like people are
like not turning on Bernie because they're not like, oh, Bernie,
everyone's you never know that. I mean, it's like it's

(40:02):
it's all those people who, yeah, might just take a
headline as truth and not really explore that and then
be like, Okay, but when you even think. I mean,
Bernie's campaign had a statement where they said it's ludicrous
to believe that. At the same meeting where Elizabeth Warren
told me she was going to run for president, I
would tell her that a woman couldn't win. It's sad
that three weeks before the Iowa Caucus in a year

(40:22):
after that private conversation, staff who weren't in the room
are lying about what happened. What I did say that
night was that Donald Trump is a sexist, a racist,
and a liar who would weaponize whatever he could do.
I believe a woman can we win. Of course, after all,
Hillary Clinton beat Donald Trump by three million, So I
don't know. Like again, I think it's interesting to see

(40:43):
we've already seen, like a few weeks ago, when it
was clear Bernie was starting to really bubble, people going like, well,
the medicare for all things gonna Trump's gonna win because
of that. So I think we're gonna see more and
more hits from the center, uh, trying to disrupt this
like surgeon progress us of And now that it seemed
like the media, the earthist tensible media strategy of like

(41:06):
leaving Bernie out of media coverage has failed, and people
have only become more passionate about it after realizing that.
Now it's like the strategy is changing, and like, okay,
well then if we have to talk about him, let's,
you know, find our angles. I just made a fart
noise in my mouth. You are sure with your mouth? Yea? Yeah? Uh?
And but There's also this other pull from the Des

(41:29):
Moines Register that was asking like what level of enthusiasm
everyone had for their candidate um and when it came
to like, you know, are you enthusiastic extreme enthusiasm which
was the most for Buddha Judge supporters and also Biden
supporters of their base that they have extreme enthusiasm war
and for Sanders it's so there's a lot of that's

(41:52):
what it feels. But and this is sort of what
I think, you know, for people trying to pit these
sides against each other, you do stir a little ship
because you know, campaigns do get a little you know,
people get they picked their sides totally, and I think
that's really an attempt to exploit those sort of not divisions,
but difference in who their who their candidate is, to
ultimately make it toxic enough that they'd be like, well,

(42:14):
if they get the nomination, you would never support them, right, right,
And it's like we see how that goes when people
make that decision. It's, yeah, just be patient with each other,
everybody unless you're like, unless you get friends who are
like Boodage and Biden are maybe get a little bit
like start, but it was Hotter Biden. M h. I mean,

(42:38):
I but like, aren't just just want to I was
thinking about people the other day, not because I wanted to,
but because Seth McFarland signed a two hundred million dollar
deal with NBC, So I was just thinking about them, like, well,
some of that money is going to go to Bootage
Edge and Triangle is my favorite thing. When he loves

(43:01):
him so much, I don't think you for the last
couple of times when Pete Buddha did just come up,
Seth McFarland doesn't also come up there. They're best friends
there in the wine cave. Ay, good, good running mate.
I mean, now we're talking, you're like the same man. Yeah, yeah,
now it's yeah. One thing I know that that Bernie

(43:24):
Sanders did say he said he wouldn't have another old
white man as his running mate, So you can count
on that. Good. Yeah. Just for for people who support
Bernie and support Warren, be patient and kind with each
other and like we're all in the same boat here,
like totally. Yeah. People, The bottom line is if you
support either, it's because you understand that there is a
failure of this government to support the working people and

(43:47):
just people who are not fantastically wealthy. And I think
that's the thing you have to keep your focus on,
because again, when you have things like these, all these
reports about like the Dow Jones was surging and twenty
two percent in unemployment is so low, it's like, who
gives a funk? Like, I don't know anybody who's like, oh,
thank god, the dows up. I'm like, I'm now my

(44:09):
child have braces. It's true. The people who care about
the Dow or they're not. They're not. They don't. Yeah,
no one I've ever met is like benefiting from that news. Yeah,
we don't ever get to a show and we're like, hey, Jamie,
great to see it. By the way, did you see
when I opened with the dow joke today? Let's just

(44:34):
check the down like you guys can see, can you
guys see then? And even like and then when you
look at it too, wages have only gone up two
point nine percent, even after all those tax cuts. When
t is like, oh, yeah, this is gonna be great
for employees, they're they're already firing people and shifting jobs
out of country. This is why, like we only have
one shoe factory left in Massachusetts, and it's and it's

(44:58):
for and it's for rich fun, it's you know what,
you know what. But this is again, this is what
I think people need to put into their mind's eye
because of all these things that I'm sure on the
right they're gonna be like, oh yeah, well what about
the doubt and about this? Like you can even tell them,
are you benefiting from have your wages gone up? Are
you are you in a place where you feel like
very financially uh stable and not like within you know,

(45:22):
three bad incidents is happening or maybe even one that
you could completely turn life upside down for you. And
I think that's the thing people, you know, let's keep
that in our in our mind's eye, all right, and
be good to each other. Hey yeah, yeah, and say
hi to somebody. I've been trying to do that more,
say hi. Yeah. Like when I walk by somebody in
the street, if I catch eyes with them, sometimes I'll
be like, people look away. Sometimes I love to say yeah.

(45:45):
I love to say hi. Do you I do yeah?
Like because I walk a lot and then I'm on
the button, like there's a lot of opportunity. What do
you do? How do you do hi? Well? I have
like a system where genuinely, like when I'm walking to
the bus stop near my house to come here, like you,
I'll do that thing where I'll like see if we
lock eyes the first time, I'll look down, then look
back up and be like, hey, it feels less threatening

(46:07):
that way. But I don't want to just like lock out,
so I'll be like get that. I was like, okay,
a consenting look like highing is a little jimmy. Yeah,
I like to open and close the loop. I don't.
I don't. You know what I mean. If I'm going
to do an interaction, I don't. I don't. Almost I

(46:29):
like to do a high good morning, keep going. Yeah,
I'm not looking for it, you know what I mean?
Morning just acknowledgment. Acknowledgement, Yeah, yes, that it helps, you know,
makes everybody feel acknowledged. Yeah, I feel especially l A.
Everyone has their head down. You're in your cars to
be seen, so you're telling me it's so nice to
be seen. And then when we were like yeah, when

(46:50):
we remember, we're all like we're all just we're all
in pain and we're all hurting. We're all on the
same plant, you know, We're all like we're all human
beings like I I do think, Yeah, there's something nice
about acknowledging people on this. You're like, oh, yeah, you're
like person versus like someone who I would just create
a backstory about. So as I walked by to ill
do that? Still do that after you say yo, wild man.

(47:11):
My mother though, the queen of giving people backstories who
she's never met. There they have like full on three
act arcs absolutely from I think I mentioned a while
ago from a person she thought, uh, someone was crying
like in front of her house on a curb, and
she thought that woman was really into the Twilight films,

(47:31):
saying leap, one giant leap for a mom kind all right,
we're gonna take a quick break and we'll be right
back and we're back and let's just really uh. I

(47:52):
just want to mention this rich cracker competition thing because
I like rich crackers. I never buy them when I
interact with them, and like, how much fucking grease are
in these things? And that's what I like about it.
Like if we compare it just a trisk it to
a ritz, I mean trisk it, you're you're gulping for
water you gotta drink, and a food in the thing

(48:13):
that thing is wet with with but oh yeah, you could,
like you can use it to like spy on people,
Like you could just put it on the wall and
it will render like a visible hole through it from
the grease, like in that Simpsons episode where home We're
trying to gain all that weight I had. I had
a coworker in Boston years ago that I ended up
making a series of maybe kind of mean cartoons about him.
But his whole his whole thing was his name is Nick.

(48:36):
We're friends, so okay, so, but what he his whole
approach to socializing with us was he would have us
rank things, and having us rank crackers was his favorite thing.
And he had like a kind of a funny voice,
and he so we would be like standing behind the
bar because we're going to a bar, and he would
just like we had nothing to say to each other,
and then he'd be like, hey, Jamie, like trisk it's rits,

(49:00):
what else is like Mary kiss kill? But with crackers
and salteens, rank them? And then I would just sit
there and then I'd rank them and then you know,
put triskets last because I'm and he'd like no love
for triskets and that was this whole thing and he'd
write it down. He actually has a whole spreadsheet of
data that he's the best. He had a whole blog
about reviewing turkey Turkey club sandwiches that he would get

(49:25):
from like subway Macy's, like he would get there. Used
to be somewhere in in the Boston metro area. Yeah,
like a cafe in the basements, very suburban longs. Like
the crispness on the Macy's turkey set. Yeah, yeah, it's

(49:46):
a little curvety. I love that. I relate to that.
Just a pure obsession with one thing and then dedicating
a lot of your life to it. I'm like, yeah,
I could see myself falling down that hole. The singularity
of that vision greasy crack or just something else. Okay,
there's a competition where because my mom did cook with
them a yeah, yeah, there is a ritz crushed crackers

(50:07):
recipe contest. Okay, and there's they have a culinary professional
category where it's like you're a legit chef, and they
also have one for culinary students. The grand prize winner
was the pork you pie. Uh it's okay, so it
comes from uh the chef and owner of a text
Mix restaurant in Chicago. Kim Dalton, Um, this recipe, Okay,

(50:30):
it's a savory and sweet pork and cheddar mock apple
pie with a risp and buttery ritz crumb topping. This
sweat like fancy food. It's like, who wants that? I
don't want an apple pie with pork in it? Yeah,
I mean, I guess mock apple pie. I'm curious if
it's there's I think it's maybe just a pork pie
with cheese and maybe hints about there. I don't know.

(50:51):
I don't know it one must have been good. Yeah,
I guess. I'm not gonna say you try it. Wow,
So tepid, tepid response. I mean, sometimes things that sound
gross actually tastes good, so I won't rule it out.
There's been worse things. That's what I'll say of this
winning recipe. There's okay, I guess chicken pop pie. I'm like,

(51:12):
already that's a little gross to me. So then when
you're like, oh, you're gonna take an even gross from
meat and slap it in there, I'm out the thing
that they Kim, but good for Kim. Well, this is
what Kim says. She says it's really good. She was inspired.
It was inspired by vintage recipe she saw on the
back of a rich Crackers box, like, so it's like
an old one. But she then sort of took some
creative lis so I'm sorry, let me go again. It's

(51:34):
really good. It's kind of a classic. Okay. I think
that should end the debate right there. I do feel
like if I describe that meal to my grandparents, they
lose their ship. You know, that does like as an
old timey recipe. I think that would hit. But what
she also says is the rich crackers are they're added
instead of apples. Okay, so that's what it is. So

(51:57):
it's not like an apple pie. So it's more of
a just in your mind, keep pork and cheddar rich
crackers right now now, and now we're talking now now, Kim,
we're coming. We're getting on a flight, okay. And in
the student culinary student category, the grand prize winner was
a meal fee. How do you say that? Yes, I

(52:19):
know how, I know what, I know what it is.
I remember the movie Carpool with Tom Arnold and there's
a moment where they spend three minutes there's like a
joke where they don't know how to say muf what
is franchise? Guess it's two words and there's a hyphen involved.
Doesn't it mean like a thousand layers or something. Yeah,
like that's what the meal m I l like millenniums

(52:43):
anyway instead of the puff pastry for this using rich
crackers to serve as the pastry, like, because it's like
a very layered pastry. Okay. Uh And was a student
of the in Stude of Culinary Education in pasad drive
over so and that just seems like it was a
pretty straightforward recipe. But hey, the students they're getting it

(53:04):
done to all right. I would I would have Fernando's
dish in a second, yes, I think him. Yes, because Kim,
it's almost like flashy, flashy, we got pork, we got apples,
it's pie. It's old, she says, she said, no, no, no,
this is just a classic with Ritz. I gotta go,
where's my Grandpa's Dalton? I'll guess Ritz nepotism. She married

(53:25):
into the rich. She's married in definitely Mr Ritz. Her
maiden name Nibiscoe. Okay, Kim Nibiscoe. Dude, Kim Nibiscoe villain
is a great name. I like one time, as a joke,
for like three months at a place I was working
as my emergency contact, I had the phone number for Nibiscoe. Yeah,

(53:52):
no one went like I guess also though, like Forbis,
they happened and they called a Nabiscoe and you just
like the cruelest prank on yourself and I just died.
It was a funny way to die. I don't think.
It's kind of I don't know, it's super tragic, but
it kind of hilarious. What is she allergic to? Okay,

(54:15):
let's let's roll up our sleeves talk about the Oscars
because the nominations were announced on Monday. Uh and wow, wow,
wow wow the joker eleven nominations. Okay, of a story
of a guy, a white guy who literally paints his
face even whiter. Has anyone actually, I haven't seen I

(54:36):
didn't have it in me to see it neither. I
we haven't. I haven't seen it. I'm sure it's fine.
I just don't. I don't know. Yeah, I don't think
Phoenix is great. You know, he's very he's a very
compelling actor. He transforms he fell in love with that
Scarlett Johansson computer. He sucked his phone in that movie.
In that movie, we liked that for some reason. Yeah,

(54:57):
did he get nominated for that? Didn't he? I think
he did get nominated for sucking his phone. Nominated this
guy for all sorts of things. He's very talented. But
but but at what, Like Joker was nominated for everything,
and like no women and people of color were nominated
except for a Bong Bong June, yes, which is director.
That's it for a lot for a lot of stuff,

(55:18):
which is great, but that, but yeah, everyone else where,
Cindia Arrivo was nominated. And then the only I think
that was only personal color nominated in any of the
acting categories, I believe. Meanwhile, to add insult to injury,
Scarlett Johansson's nominated twice twice. So yeah, really the fact
that Aquafina literally won Golden Globe and wasn't it wasn't

(55:42):
even nominated. So, um, you know, Oscar is so white?
Remember that hashtag that was what five years ago? Maybe? Yeah? Um?
And you know, and in response to that, the Academy
was like, you know what, I didn't really even think
about that one, and they said, you know, they were
they had they were announced unprecedented changes to its membership

(56:06):
and voting rules because they want to make the membership
and like voting just more diverse. We're here, we are
five years later, and we've yet to see of twenty
acting nominations. Yeah, Cynthia Rivo is the only person of color.
And there was like and and you always see like
the horrible Twitter responses of like, well were the performances
there and it's like there were some a really want

(56:27):
a golden globe j Lo Jlo It was nominated. People
loved her and hustlers, Lupida and us and even though
it's like a genre flick, which typically but it's like, yo,
she had that performed that. Daniel Cluia was nominated for
Get Out like that. It's like you want to you
want to nominate Scarlett? That to me is actually the

(56:49):
real funk you that'll slap in the face. Yeah. Is
it just like a room of people or is it?
How do I don't even know how. It feels like
it's got to be a contained right, let any insight
into that. I'm and I know that the that um
like people vote, there's an increased but it's still like
I think that the percentage I was reading today was
they were like, well, you know, there's twice the amount

(57:09):
of people of color in the Academy there used to be,
but it's still comes out to like and the Academy
was bragging about like, well, like there's almost one third
of female nominees in this year's and you're like, yeah,
that's not that's not parody, you stupid ass, Like it's
that I was most annoyed. I mean, I like Greta
Girling a lot, and I think she deserved a nomination,

(57:31):
but I wanted like Lulu Wang to get and like
The Farewell is so good and just that movie, Like
there was just a bunch of movies that were shut
out entire yearly such a I thought The Sandman should
have gotten women over the Break. What do you think
that was great? Oh? Yeah, it's so good. The boy,

(57:53):
the boy can flutter and dance like a person from
the sharp sharp sharp looking. Yes, he could just cut
you could just he's got a sharp wi his eyes
with his chin chin angular. I thought he's dating Johnny
Depp's daughter. Yeah's daughter famous, Yeah, she's famous. Now there's

(58:15):
anyone's kid who's not famous, Like, did someone's kids just
like work as a p A? No, there's no one.
Actually I do know someone who famous whose kid works
as a Really what they do? They just got the right,
got a good head on their shoulders. Yeah, I just
empotism is so funny to me, because like if you
don't think it's funny, you cry. Yeah, and it's weird,

(58:35):
like typically like in the Academy Awards period, films like
Little Women would do well. True, yeah, and I don't understand,
like and I remember seeing the one back in the day,
wasn't a writer and like the last one that came
out pretty good, which I got like way more into,
like the Greta Girlwig one was very accessible. I feel

(58:56):
like even for like younger people, like it was written
in a way that did I'm like, I don't know
any alcohol stuff, but anyway, this was Yeah, this was
such a bummer, and like the Academy is like, well,
we let more women and people of color and so
it was. And it's like the persentagers are still so
fucking low that it's like, yeah, they didn't even nominate
Beyonce for the song. I mean, I don't know if

(59:19):
the song was good. I didn't see anything about my king.
The original songs are always bad, that's the point. But
now it's Diane Warren and Randy Newman like every fucking year.
That's another thing I'm mad about. Two is at Universal
Matt mad about two Spectrum Originals. Um, but the originals

(59:40):
and the things about You series on Spectrum Originals joke
that came to haunt me in my real life. Okay,
everyone's got everyone's got a streaming service now. And they
also I lost all my bets. I did an uncut
gem style bet on Cats sweeping the oscars, and they
but Universal that they is kind of funny. They took

(01:00:00):
everything from Cats out of consideration, so it's not even
a snub. Wait wait, so it would have gotten an
original song nominated, but I don't know why they did that.
They were going to present it for consideration and then
we're like, actually not not. Yeah, it was on there
for a consideration website, and then after the first weekend
of Cats and they made six dollars, they were like,
never mind, and they just took everything. But it's like

(01:00:21):
they had a Taylor Swift song that was like like
a C minus that could have gotten an Oscar nomination.
I mean probably good because if cats started getting nominations
over some of these other films, it would have been
a dark stage for those people in that in that film. Well,
either way, the Elton John song is gonna win. But
like it's just and then I thought, I don't know

(01:00:43):
where they're like, Bombshell got a bunch, like not a bunch,
but Bombshell got some nods, and you're just like, oh great,
you know, right, white feminism the movie it was interesting
by Austin Powers when oh, when I don't feel like
it just came out, I'm like, I thought that, yeah
it did. Yeah, its like came out yesterday, very minimal marketing. Yeah,

(01:01:03):
because it's not very good. M hmm. Well. Um. One
thing though that was great was when John show and
again ad insult to injury. You have two people of
color presenting the awards to okay, um when they announced
like the director's nominees, uh summed it up as she said,
and congratulations to those men like appropriate. I wish there

(01:01:25):
was more that could have happened. I don't know, I mean,
I don't know what it's gonna take at this point.
I'm just like, well, parents, I had better win a
big or what was the point of this year. Well,
it's also weird when like films get you know, nominated
for Best Picture and other things and then not Best Director.
I'm like, you think there's a consistency about You'd imagine

(01:01:45):
that if it's the best picture, then the director must
get some credit, unless you're saying, like the film is
good director or whatever. It was really all about the script.
And like I don't always understand when people sort of
get I feel like they're sort of hand in hand.
But look, everyone has their own way of looking at
this whole filmmaking thing. I don't. And it's like where
the winners from the other awards shows leading up to

(01:02:06):
this have kind of been all over the place, like
the critics choice because which note gives a ship about?
But whatever is the day I had a good outfit?
Uh face, it was like a space played like plate Yeah,
it's like hot pink. It was amazed. Did you ever
have those dolls when you were younger where you got
to put like the jelly sort of didn't It's like
a real life jelly shirt dolls that were they I

(01:02:27):
don't know, but they were. But it was just like that.
It isn't amazing. What is that like a molded plates exactly?
That's not like painted on, that's like a rigid that's
like a like a star trek, Like okay, let me
measure your exact breast size point. It must made it
on her, because right, how do you make a paper
machete cast and then do something like it was a
great shout out to the Women's College scripts at their cafe.

(01:02:50):
They my her majesty was a brista there and all
the briests. They get breast molds that they put up
in the in the cafe. That's the best part. But
with the Chris choice last night or not two nights ago,
wasn't it? Sam Mendez and Bang Juneho tied for best Directors,
Like there were a bunch of times. So it's like

(01:03:10):
there's a lot of different And you think of Parasite
with how well that film is being critically claimed, like
the none of the acting was good enough. The people
were like pulling for a supporting actor for for the
for the man who plays the dad in Parasite um
and that didn't go through. Is that because of the
foreign language, Like is there some crossover there like where

(01:03:31):
it would have you have to think, but it but
it made it in so many other huge categories and
didn't get like pushed to like it was. It's nominated
for a Best International Film. But it's true because Roma
had the same thing too, where people are not I mean,
I think that's also the thing where it's like we
have the as time goes on and we see the

(01:03:52):
lack of actual acknowledgment of a lot of these achievements,
we at a certain point we have to like let
these awards go to because it's like they're not actually
a good indicator of like what the best performances were. Truly.
That's where I guess, you know, we'll have to have
a reckoning with our love of awards. I do I
do like to get mad. Demia did I had a
great toet about how how much she likes to get

(01:04:12):
mad at like this, and I do like to get
mad about it. But you know, I'm never going to
watch The Irishman, so whatever. My first one the first
time I got so pissed at the Academy Awards with
Thin ninety nine when Saving Private Ryan Steven Spielberg got
Best Director. But then Shakespeare in love was best picture.
Oh right, and that was a wine that was like
like Winstein, like little fourteen year old self who was

(01:04:35):
like just hopped up on Warporn was just like Dutch
fuck up. I hope that Laura dernwins and then she
makes more fun baby Yoda jokes that would sustain me.
She went on Colbert and was like, baby Yoda's my boyfriend.
She's just upping the end. I mean for her very
diverse dating background. She's I don't she's not with Baron

(01:04:56):
