(01:51):

It used to be a great website. Oh really? Uh well,
we're throwly be joined in our third seat by one
of the very faces on mountains sight more. Literally somebody
photoshopped it. Uh, the hilarious comedian Mr Billy Wayne Davis.
Hey you guys, and I correct you. It's Senator. Yes, yes,

(02:16):
became a senator. I remember that one year when he
came out to the with RNC spoken of by God. Yeah,
I thought we were talking Sean Bradley. I assumed it
was a Sean Bradley. I think he could become leader
of the Mormons. Yeah, he's he because it's a hype
thing with it and he gave up two of his
prime years to uh mission. I'm mistaken because Bill Bradley's

(02:38):
Democrat someone else Okay anyway, anyways, but I mean, if
you're looking from their point, from that perspective, two years
for your own planet versus like two years like your
own planet sounds like, sounds cool, but are people there
with you? I assume it's like it's like it's it's

(03:00):
like kid rules when you're planning your own mansion and stuff,
where you're like it comes with people to do the
stuff that you're unaware of, and then when you become
an adult, you're just like, man, I don't want to mansion.
That's like a so much a lot of staff. Yeah
right there. But the yeah, so the Mormon religion, heaven,
you get your own planet that you get to be

(03:22):
a god of, But like, are your loved ones there
or I think you get all those at that point,
maybe you're at such a level of you've been deified
that you don't have the same sort of needs emotionally
as immortal. What doesn't sound good? What if your wife
has her own planet right, that's what I'm saying. I'm assuming.
I mean, she's better than but I think so she's
going to have her own planet, and I, you know,

(03:44):
do I am I a person on her? Maybe that's
maybe that's on my plane. Maybe that's the design. Because
they have so many wives, they're like, listen, we're dead.
They get their own planet. I don't have to write
of man as a planet. Yes, his wives are there
to uh you know, support have their own satellite planets.

(04:05):
That's right. Yeah, the man is the planet and the
woman is the moon. Yes, the head is the next
still turns the head, Happy wife, Happy life. Al Right, Billy,
when we're gonna get to know you a little bit
better in a moment, We're gonna take our listeners through

(04:27):
a couple of things we're talking about. We're gonna talk
about the town hall that the Democratic candidates did on CNN,
Chris Cuomo's hilarious jokes, Joe Biden's just Joe Biden nous,
all of that. We're gonna check in with the whistleblowers,
his top form. He really he knows himself. Yeah. Uh,

(04:53):
we're gonna talk about Mike Pens We're gonna check in
with how he's dealing with the heat. Not good at
taking it. Maybe we're gonna talk about whether the Department
of Justice is getting involved with uh, Fox News being
mean to Trump. We're gonna look at a op ed
in the Washington Post that explains why it wouldn't be

(05:14):
the craziest thing in the world for the Senate to
actually remove Trump if the House impeaches him. And then
we're gonna look at the wildfires and a Norwegian cruise ship,
uh that almost caused an international revolt. We got so
much ship to talk about today. But first, Billy, when
we like to ask our guests, what is something from

(05:35):
your search history that's revealing about who you are. I've
been searching about how to fix the iPhone eight because
it keeps re restarting and restarting, restarting. It was the
answer to buy a new iPhone. Well, I took it
to the Genius Bar and they restarted it from scratch
and then it was I was like, oh cool, and
then I left and then put my stuff in there

(05:57):
and they started again. So then I took it to
Verizon was like, hey, I want a new one because
I have insurance, and they sent a new one and
now it's doing it really Yeah. So it's just sitting
in my car. It's like a brick, just just restart
and restart and restarting. Oh man, Because when I read
it's what happened was I downloaded the soft the new software,

(06:19):
like the update, and now I got Nate. I downloaded
the new software and it's been a little glitchy, is it? Yeah? Yeah?
And then I went to Verizon. They were like, well,
you've got an insurance or for a hundred dollars upgrade,
they can upgrade you now instead of waiting two months.
And I was like, just I've been playing for the
insurance to sit. They're like, yeah, but you need you

(06:41):
depend your on your phone, right, maybe we can leverage
this and to get you into an upgrade. But then
the guy, I mean I almost did, but the guys like,
we don't have any in stocks. It would have to
send you on So okay, thanks, nice try. But but
then they sent me one that it seems sounds like
it's older than it is. But the eight came out
at the same time as the ten. Yeah, and so yeah,

(07:04):
what happened to nine? Yeah, the nine is gonna be
They're gonna there's gonna be like a legendary iPhone nine
that's still out there, Like I heard it folds. Imagine
you can see through walls and ship. What's the thing
like our grandkids will talk about it and like there
was no But I thought, like I've said that the
iPhone eight is the best iPhone because it's the last

(07:24):
one they made with a button, so it's still still
got the single button. I figured out how to fun either, Yeah,
yeah they did because I can't. It's in the car now,
just just just burning through that battery life. Yeah, until
it dies and I take it and yeah, fuck, what
is something you think is overrated over at smartphones? Okay?

(07:47):
Since I've had not had one for like four days now, right,
last been pretty great? What specifically like your lack of
checking the ship or the finished the first day I've
been trying in the finish for like a month. That
was hilarious. It's just like sucking Homer simpson galaxy brain,

(08:08):
like after he gets the cran removed from his brain.
It was like I did feel and then just like
I'm not. I felt also the same way I felt
after I quit smoking. Because there's these like phantom times
I want to go check my phone, and I'm like, oh,
I don't have it, and I just sit and do
something else, be present things around and I was like, oh,

(08:31):
this is an issue for not just me. I think
it's society. Oh yeah, And then it's freaked out my wife.
She's like, so am I not going to be able
to get and I was like, no, I'm just gonna
go do this thing and do this thing and then
I'll be back around this time. I can check email though,
I got that we can do that. I'll swing by

(08:53):
a net cafe, just check and see if you've emailed me.
Play some counter strike at cafe. Are you gonna get
a flip phone? Oh? I looked at when last time
I was. But has this brought you to the point
where you're thinking, like do I make this the I
can't yet because of travel and kids, and I can,
but just like that, I am doing the iPad today. Yeah,

(09:16):
and I kind of like it because there's a there's
the read well. I my kindles on here too, so
like all my books are on here when I travel
and now I'm just like, oh, I can read kind
of control what information is coming and going and if
I have like a flip phone. They have to call
me yeah it's or wait fifteen minutes for you to

(09:39):
reply in a text because you're like, damn, what kind
of is this T nine input from my text? It's
like it's it's one of those things where it's like
when you grow up, like in the church, and they
tell you about sex, and then you get older and
you're like, it just feels like I should do it
this way. This feels like my body's like yes, your brains,
like we would work really good like this. Uh yeah,

(10:04):
So that's I may have a goddamn flip phone. I
mean over the weekend I forgot my phone going out
somewhere and at first it was like, oh, I literally
in the cars like, oh, fuck on my phone, And
then no I didn't. I was like, I don't fucking I.
Then I sort of got a little disgusted to myself
that I almost fell apart because I left a square

(10:24):
at my house re rectangle that has a screen. And
then at this ship I was at, I was so
much more like present and even like the times that
you would feel like, you know, awkward silences, because that's
really the thing that it's enabled us to do is
like just avoid awkward silences or maybe engaging with your
environment that you just go, let me just dive into
my phone. I did that. I was just like sitting
like a fucking monk kind of taking ship in and

(10:45):
being like, yeah. I think the one undisputed way it's
made our lives better is cameras all the time, so
you can take a picture of anything. I think we
have better more pictures of our kids now, I guess, uh.
And it's made waiting in line better. But I think
I don't know that waiting in line was a bad thing.
I think being bored and like boredom was a key

(11:07):
part of like developing our brain. Oh yeah, because it
forced you to do it. Like you were never so
bored you just sat in a fucking room doing nothing. Right,
you'd be like, all right, let me go, let me
I'll naturally arrive at some activity. I've been busy enough
that I went and sat in the room and did nothing.
That's different. That's remedy. Do you know, I'm gonna have
to what's going on? Where's it's like when I get

(11:28):
off the road. I've been on the road for a
couple of weeks and then see you haven't left the
house in three days, and I know it's awesome. All
the stuff here, all the things I like. I think
I also haven't been here in eight Yeah, so it's
really great. I don't the bad is perfect. Every part
of your body starts smelling like balls. Oh yeah, and
she's like that you haven't like been that's that, She's like,

(11:50):
but you gotta clean yourself? All right? Where's the rag?
What is something you think is underrated? Um My the
North Mississippi All Stars so one a full blues rock band.
I think you brought this up? Uh? When did you
interact with them? You did you have an interaction with
this group? I have opened for them a couple of times.

(12:10):
That's what it was, Yes, because I feel like I
know this name because of you. But they have a
new record out that is fantastic. Came out. Maybe Staples
is on it. Jason Nizbles on it. Um Jason Isable?
Who's Jason Isable? You just if you don't know, you
gotta If you don't know, you don't know, you gotta
google that. Uh, and then a couple other people, But

(12:31):
it is it is dope. Luther Dickinson and his brother
as the drummer Luther's in a guitar virtuo. So they're
playing in Santa Monica and I'm going, oh, what is
the place called Somebody's attic or whatever it's calling. Oh, um,
I don't talk about vice basement. No, okay, I would

(12:54):
play that sounds like a fun play. What is it
all Eddie Vetter playing the violin? It ends base? What
is a myth? What's something people think it's true? You
know to be false that you can't if you have
your hazard lights on while you're driving, you can the
traffic laws don't apply anymore. That is a myth. Yeah,

(13:15):
but I have seen like three or four people in
the last couple of weeks in l A where I'm like,
you just can't just put them on and do what.
I fire them up and I started, I'll stop in
the middle of the freeway to get them out of
my trunk. Like if you could, Yeah, if you could
do that, everyone would just have them on, ramming into
each other like my lights on? What wait? What kind
of egregious hazard light used? Did you witness on the way? Here?

(13:36):
Was what sparked it where I was like, man, this
is like something I've seen three or four. Uh, just
one of those star line tour vans. Dude. Just I
watched him do it, and that he was in the
far right lane, right in front of me, and he
just put on his his hazards and then just win
over and did a complete you turn on Hollywood Boulevard

(14:00):
like that. It wasn't like how I'm going to pick
up these passengers double park or something. It's like I'm
using this. He was just like he was just gonna,
you know, veer off to the right and be like
this is a cross to the left and it's called hazards. Man,
I'm about to be a yeah, and the what I mean.
But there's like other people stopping and looking like I did, like, well,

(14:22):
you can't even right, not even hand out the window
that's that used to be the hazard sign. He had
this like look on his face like this is how
driving happens, Like there was no concern. Also, were the
passengers in it? I don't know. I couldn't see because
I was just like he is this man. If that
was my gig and I knew my company was in
shirt on that ship, I would probably be like my

(14:44):
fund to watch this. I'm not even sucking around I'm
just gonna do this. You turn with the hazards on.
I mean, there was no emotion either way. It was
just like this is how my day goes, right, So
that was just I mean, I would I went from
being like what in the to being like all right,
d that's next level that driving when you can't even
be mad. You're just like, I'm glad I got out

(15:06):
of your way. Amazing. Yeah he may be still doing it,
just doing donuts. He was like, someone's gonna hit me.
I was trying to get hit, but everyone just keeps respecting.
I think that too when people go in their emergency
lane like to beat like morning rush hour traffic, and
I'm always like, please, dear God, if there's a good
cop out there, let me see you pull this asshole

(15:26):
over right now, because they'll be people just they throw
the hazards on, they're flying down the emergency lane. You're
like that that is not even that doesn't even prepare
somebody just because the lights are on, because by virtue
of what you're doing, just like busting you turns from
the far right lane. It's just you're just gonna see
somebody just like yeah there. It's like the motorcycle guys.

(15:47):
I respect hate them, Yeah, equally. I'm like, that's cool,
but you're gonna die and I'm okay with it, even
when they're splitting lanes and stuff. It's that risk reward
that most of lafia is. We're just like, right, what's
the consequences. You're like, I'm gonna get there thirty minutes early,
but I could die, right Yeah, I'm gonna have fun
doing it. But if I don't have fun, I might

(16:10):
be dead. It just takes one stone or jam and
too hard to modest Yahoo to not notice you swipe
you yes and good night you. It's impressive though, Uh
it is kind of impressive. That's why I said I
hate respect it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think that's the
I think. Right, Yeah, I'm not sared. Too scared kids

(16:33):
to live for the children thing now, damn kids, see
this is where you sucked up. I'm about to buy
my motorcycle now. Like, the thing they say about motorcycles
is that our brain like sometimes doesn't register them because
our brain is just like the way it's built. When
we're out driving, we're just looking for car shaped things
that are moving like cars, and so people will just

(16:55):
drive like it's not there, and I feel like motorcycles,
like good motor cyclists recognize that and like drive defensively
about it, and then bad motorcyclists are like, I'm gonna
take advantage of that. They don't see me like I'm
behind you, now I'm in front of you. I mean,
all it takes is you one time to almost kill
a motorcyclist to forever be afraid of killing, and one

(17:16):
another motorcyclist as a as a driver. Oh, in San Francisco,
it's insane. They're everywhere and those heels and everything. You're like,
what happens? Will you get hit? Sometimes that's what all
of them say. Sometimes you get hit and you're like, Okay,
let's check with Joe Biden from last week's l G
B t Q town Hall, because this is just the

(17:36):
most Joe Biden like trying to be like cool wise
in the dude. The whole town Hall was a very
interesting mixture of performances. Elizabeth Warren Bett Oh Amy Klovich
at times are really well, Kamala at times didn't quite
seem to have answers to very specific questions. Her and
Amy klobaschar typically would like revert to being like when

(17:57):
I was a d A, this is what I did
to stand by a GBTQ people. But sometimes the questions
were like what are you going to do about the
epidemic of black trans woman being killed. At one point,
Kamala Harris was interrupted by an activist who was in
the audience, and she heard this woman speak and then
her response was just she's like, what are you going
to do to stop these men from killing us? And
Kamala Harris just looked very respectfully and just said, you're right,

(18:21):
and couldn't really articulate a response, whereas like other candidates
had were able to, like Betto was able to articulate
stuff other people saying that we need to make it
a priority to d o J. Anyway, there was it
was a mixed bag, but you know, overall some good performances,
but then there were some weird performance Um from what
I saw, I didn't see much of Julie and Castra.
I'm sure he probably did well, but I was actually

(18:44):
pretty impressed with how open Betto was. You know, his
answer to saying what will you do to protect black
trans woman? He said, I will listen to black trans
women to figure out how to do this properly, and
I want to listen to people who have a dialect
when you When he didn't have an answer, he would
was willing to acknowledge what his blind spots were. Um,
and I think, I mean overall it was it was fine.

(19:04):
I think at one point Elizabeth Warren was like, I'm
not sure if I would make uh crimes against trans
people I hate crime. I was like, I don't know,
but I think you should. I understand, from just to
like a prosecutor and law point of view, it is
that think of like, shouldn't we make all crime just bad? Right? Well,
I think her point, which was smart, she was it

(19:25):
wasn't just like, well, no, full stop, that's my answer.
She's like, I don't think that's necessarily the best answers
because the reason we need to elevate things to hate crimes,
to give this priorities, because the justice system itself will
not organically prioritize these things. So for her, it was
like a sea change culturally at the Department of Justice,
which is what a lot of candidates said, I mean
just needed seems to be like a giant change at

(19:47):
every level. Well, because again they point to the fact
that a lot of local jurisdictions might not prioritize crimes
against trans people or understand them. Yeah, exactly. And then
so they're saying, well, if that's not the case, then
we need the Department of Stice at a federal level
to prioritize that. And you know this one is like
a good one, yeah, or a department of Justice, Like
they love stuff like that right now. The god, you know,

(20:13):
they just love. They're so inclusive and understanding, but they
seem confused at what like law means. Yeah, well absolutely,
I mean they seem like justice from France. Which it
is kind of a good opportunity for someone with actual
planans to come into these deeply destroyed institutions and fix them. Yeah,

(20:37):
because it's like the right time to change institutions. Sure, fundamentally,
So thanks dipshits. And I think didn't Warre you saying
Elizabeth Warren had a moment where she was like, yeah,
that was wrong, like about yeah, how she wasn't didn't
think a prisoner who needed like a gender reassignment procedure

(20:59):
or some kind of meta core procedure tied to their
gender reassignment. She was saying that was like a waste
of taxpayer money and then they like, do you believe that?
And I was like, no, that was that was wrong.
She's like, it's a medical it's it's a medical need,
like and I shouldn't have said that. She was very like,
you know, she was pretty blunt when it came to
think she wasn't you know, willing to or that at
least to demonstrate her growth. But really the focal point

(21:21):
where a few fucking moments, there's a moment when Kamala
Harris came out. She opened her moment at the town
hall by you know, saying what her preferred pronouns were.
She said, I'm, I'm she my pronouns or she her hers.
Chris Cuomo goes, yeah, mine too, and the whole town
hall just went like like, really that's your this is
an LGBTQ town hall and you're coming off with some

(21:44):
lay mass. Did he do that? Really? Yes? Yeah, I
mean and I'm not laughing at what he did, but
I'm laughing at what does that make sense? Because I
could not believe it. It's like fun do you think
there's like his aids are just like I mean, or
it's like a it's like a sketch where he's got

(22:05):
something in his ear where someone's the bird at his
and then they and he just says something. He's like,
hear me too, and he's like and then they hear that,
and he's like, no, no, no, worst worst possible thing
I could have said. So this is this is what happens.
This is the introduction to Kamala Harris to speed but
to see your sound of the black people joining us appreciated,

(22:26):
how are you? And thank you guys, and my pronouns
are she her and hers mine too, I dude. And
then he goes all right, and she looks off into
the crowd and it's almost like and it's it's it

(22:47):
was a fucking awful I mean, I'm glad she's just
it's just inacceptable, Like what the funk that is? I
mean they should be like, all right, you're done. You
can't you can't do the thing. You come out and
that was like get out here, damn it, damn it.
And he's not even mad. He's like, you're right, fucking idiot,
can't be president now. He did then be like he's like,

(23:09):
I really apologize for that. Was gonna do way better. Yeah. No,
Right after she said that, and she said, all right,
can we bring our host back up? Because I think
But then, you know, Joe Biden had a few moments
where he was I don't know. Some people were saying

(23:30):
he was play acting like he was gay at times
by sort of flirting. People felt like he was flirting
one move with man or woman, He's gonna be like, hey,
how's it going, man? He was. He joked that he
was gonna like about to come out he like mind
giving Anderson Cooper a kiss. But then there was just

(23:51):
one song bite yeah, like it was this is Joe Biden, y'all.
This is and I know it sounds like a fucking absurd,
but when you hear this one clip, now a lot
of people are focusing on this one moment he was.
I think he was trying to say how far we've
come along around like sort of our rhetoric around the
like LGBTQ issues. And he starts already uncomfortable. I know,

(24:12):
it starts off saying, remember Anderson back like fifteen twenty
years ago, we talked about this in San Francisco. Take Away.
The rest of the clip we talked about this and
in San Francisco is all about well you know, gay gay,
gay bathhouses and everything. It's all about round the clock
sex and so come on man. Then he goes on
says gay couples are more likely to stay together than

(24:34):
head her sexual couples. And then and the group was like,
all right, we'll leave it there. Hey, he sounds like
a if you just flip what he's doing, he still
sounds like a like a preacher, and he's like and
they get in there and they touch your pay pays together,
and then the devil who comes in he pokes him
in the billy and he hey, you know, and then

(24:58):
they get another g was using that's how age happened.
I mean, what cut what We'll leave it there, Thank
you so much. Go to Joel three old sixty nine.
All right, I've been Joe. But yeah, it was that
was an interesting moment. And uh, there were a few
moments where like a couple of activists were really speaking out.

(25:22):
But there were moments where one woman was calling out
CNN specifically for what they were saying of was an
erasure of black trans women and noting that a lot
of the people who were speaking out or asking questions
that were like, you know, predetermined to ask questions were
not trans women of color, although I think later on
there were, um and there were moments where like, you know,

(25:44):
like all of the candidates were very like respectful. I've
I'm not sure what Joe Biden would have done had
something happened there, but like it like happened with Pete,
it happened with Bett Oh Kamala do it. Yeah, I've
almost I could have imagined if it was Joe Biden
and Chris Cuomo, it was that pairing, not Chris Pomo

(26:06):
or Anderson Cooper and Joe Biden. Where the funk that
would have gone with two? You know, cis had dudes
just being like all right, we're gonna take a quick break.
We'll be right back. And we're back, and it's time

(26:29):
to check in. With the whistleblower story. It makes me
so happy. Yeah yeah, not the whistle I mean just
that maybe there's the tide could change a little bit
too short. Part. The rest of it is it makes
me noxious, um a big short dog fan. Too short.

(26:52):
There may be more whistleblowers coming forward. Uh, they may
have come forward over the weekend since we've recorded this.
We don't know what the content is, but we do
know that there are more whistleblowers who have, uh have
something that yeah that they're like, oh right. They could
feel like a lot of people were being like what

(27:13):
is the process? Right, that's what they're doing. Like it's
just like and in the whistleblowing people, we've never this
is like one person in this department, right, that's just
we have a long like yeah, this is this is
just Glinda right, yeah, exactly, and this usually takes her
a while, right. I wonder if it is sort of

(27:34):
seeing that the response to the first one and how
Congress was really adamant about protecting them and trying to
keep this like a legal, semi legal process of doing
this is encouraging other people now too, because I wonder
if before that they're like, who knows what the fun
is going to happen? If I do this? I get
might fall on deaf years, get completely you know, stifled.

(27:55):
I mean, it's like a lot of movements when like
one person comes out and is right than other people,
you know, take that lead. I'm not gonna get shot, right,
and I'll be right behind him. Right. Let's talk about
how Mike Pence is dealing with this though, because we've
seen how he experiences, how he reacts to conflict, for

(28:19):
when he closed his eyes and just tried not to
move when the president was yelling at great Nancy Pelosi
and Chuck Schumer. So he found himself at the end
of last week under fire. He was being asked questions
about what his relationship was to all the events that
we're learning because they know again, you know, Trump was

(28:40):
very quickly threw him under the bus. Why do you
ask Trump Mike Pence about his talks with them? Do
you think Pants at that second was like, I'm not
going to get right. Yeah, but because now, like everyone
who's been near this thing has gotten dirt on them.
And when he was asked by Von Hilliard, you know,

(29:00):
Von credit to him because he was making it these
questions very easy to answer about establishing a timeline of
like whether you're not not even because obviously the question
that everyone sidesteps is do you think it's appropriate for
the president of the United States to ask a foreign
leader to dig up dirt on a political opponent. That's
the one question every GOP person goes sidesteps and does whatever.

(29:20):
So Von Hilliard's tactic was, you know, were you aware
of the Ukrainian aid being held up? Was that known
to you? Did you know this? Just to sort of
establish these things and Mike Pence, good lord, you you
won't be able to hear this. I mean you will,
but just so to give you a visual, Uh, I've
never seen someone more uncomfortable than he does. Like at

(29:45):
one point, I don't know, imagine someone, imagine Mike Pence.
Just someone just opened a Hustler magazine and showed Mike
his like knees are bending in like a way, but
then like he's also like drawing his penis and butt
back a little bit his torso away from the journalists. Yeah,

(30:08):
it's very interesting. But now now let's list in the beginning.
You're gonna hear a lot of like mechanical noise because
I think there's some air base they're winding him up, right, Um,
but you will, you will. There's this us The questions
you'll see begin to emerge about really trying to corner Pence,
to get him to answer very specifically about his knowledge
of this plan right where where, interest in the bidens

(30:32):
and interested in us getting a part of the reason.
He said, did you know that aid was being held up? What?
I never discussed the issue of of the issue of
the Bidens with presidents. Let's and you're aware what I
what I can tell you is that all of our
discussions internally when the president and our team in our

(30:55):
context in my office with Ukraine were entirely focused on
the issues of the lack of European support, but yours
being investigated. Was that being tied to a being out?
That's your question. Let me be very clear, um the
issue and and well then our inferts with regard to Ukraine.

(31:21):
Okay that he just starts meding. Hold on, he just starts.
He's been just gets when you go, that's your question. Question?
Did you cheat on me? Well, that's your question, hitting
it it is right? So were you aware that the
interests in an investigation to the Bidens was tied to
the aid for Ukraine? Well, so that's you that's your

(31:43):
question asking that, right, And see, this is what I'm
going to tell you. That's your question. Ron Hilliard from
NBC News, I am might pass the vice president. Okay,
just is you asking that question? This is me silently
pooping my right. Well, that's your question. Is my favorite

(32:04):
response to anything. I think that's just yeah, when did
you decide that we're gonna get a divorce? When he replied,
will that's your question, and I was like, Okay, well
that's your opinion. But in the form that makes no sense.
It is completely stunned. It's just like the articulate version

(32:25):
would be like, well, the premise, I actually don't agree
with the premise of this question where you're blah blah blah,
because he's just like it is. It is the political
version of fuck you in an argument? Is what that
that line is? That's your question. That's your question, And
I want to be very clear. Yeah, but about what
about that? That was my question. I know that there

(32:47):
was no mystery around that. That was very clear. I
don't feel like you the second part is true at
all of what who are you? I'm Vaughan right from NBC, right,
and that was your question just says I want to
quit being president? Right? What if he looked around and goes,
can I not do this? You? Oh man? This is

(33:12):
very quickly. It reminds me of a moment Barry Jenkins,
who directed Moonlight, when he was first nominated for that film,
and I was making like digital content for these magazines
I had I did an interview with him that was
kind of like funny ish where he would talk about
like he was interviewing himself basically uh. And I was like,
I just need you to ask a question to this
side of the camera and then answer, and he's like okay,

(33:32):
and then we start and he just looked at his
publicist and goes, can I not do this? And like
looked at me. He's like do I have to do this?
I'm like no, absolutely, I'm like no, I don't even
want right now. And then like the publicist, I'm so sorry,
and I'm like I get a dude like this. This

(33:53):
guy is an indie filmmaker, and suddenly he's like everyone's
in his face. I'm trying to get him to do
a fucking bit. But it was the most sincere moment
of like just being like, do I have to do
assist the game? Because I don't like it. I wanted
to make him I want to make movies. Yeah. I
was like, no, please do your thing, like you're better
than that. Let me make these dumb viral videos. It's
like they talked about George W. Bush when he was

(34:15):
running for president. There was this moment where he was
like a New hamp or New Hampshire, just going to everywhere.
And he's in this hotel. All right, now you gotta
go somewhere and he's just laying on his bed and
they're like, all right, you gotta go speak to these people,
and he just went, do I have to? I was like,
that's who that dude is. And he war crimed his

(34:35):
way to the top. I have to do I have to.
But he was good at remembering people's names, skill that
made him personally. Yeah, apparently he's like a social like
a genius of socializing, which is how he I mean,
look at look at how he's I'm good at parties
to I'm not. My dad wasn't the head of the CIA,

(34:57):
so I didn't get to be president. Now and all right,
let's talk about Fox News, uh, and the evolving relationship
between the Trump white House and Fox News. Yeah it so,
you know, we talked last week about how Trump had
that amazing response to Fox merely publishing a poll that
they had been it sucks. What do you say? You know?

(35:18):
The the posters there suck okay, And what was the
other thing where He's like, yeah, well I'm and the
end of it was like and I'm president. So yeah,
so sorry, okay, um. So you know that was him
being pretty upset and then was saying like one American
News is my new best friend. Best friendship with Fox

(35:38):
News has been terminated. Um. And later that day, William Barr,
the Attorney General, went to visit Rupert Murdoch at his
home in New York for we don't know what. So
what does the Attorney General need to go to the
head of Fox? What business to the Attorney General? Well,

(35:59):
I think that I think that's more of like a hey,
that's like it's directions. It's like we're losing Fox, go
get Rupert or Rupert may have said someone's like, I'm sorry, bro,
we can't really, We're gonna just let this play out. Well,
I I think that's what it is. And I think

(36:19):
Rupert is a businessman. So Trump was good for business
for a walk and now he's not. So they're gonna
do business elsewhere and they recognize that. And he was like, Hey,
you need to go talk to the Australian motherfucker. Uh.
And then they went over there and because here's the

(36:39):
here's the situation. Whoever has the power doesn't leave that
you come to them. So that's the sign right there.
It's not a good sign that the G is going
to them unless they there's some threat he's delivering from
there to know they say, hey, you come here because

(37:00):
we have to tell you something. Well, and I think, well,
maybe there has to be some kind of negotiation that
I don't think Bill Barr would go. You think he
just wanted to. I just feel like that chose way
truer than we want it to be sure, But I
still think in any in any instance, right, and I
think especially for Trump, because this is the whole thing
is like essentially, if it's the version where Bill Barr

(37:22):
is telling Murdoch kind of like, hey, this whole thing
is going to get pretty ugly and like if we
want to kind of keep this going up, can you
help out with the narrative? And I think maybe that's
at least the piece of information Bar was presenting. I
don't think it might have swayed Rupert Murdoch. If he's
decided what you do, I'm like, no, like, but see
here's a deal because help comes down. Classic like his

(37:46):
whole thing is he overplays everything and he and that's
what he's done with thoughts he thought they were. He
misunderstood what they were doing. He thought that they were
fans of his and they are not a side gang.
And they were like, no, we just we want these people, right,
this number of people. If we say these things, they

(38:08):
tune into fucking everything we say and do as long
as we click these things. And then looks like, hey,
they don't give a shit about you anymore. Right now
we're talking about you and they love it. And then
those guys are like, oh nah, well see that's where
I'm curious to see what that's our whole thing? But

(38:32):
what happens to ratings? Right? Because I think on some
level there are people who are more loyal to Trump
than to Fox News. And at what point? I don't
think it's as many people as you think, but I'm
curious to know. I know, and I think, but that's
a truth. I would love to discover what that actually
ends up being, because I think as it's happening, Trump
is slowly being like, we don't like them, we don't
like them. How many people can he migrate to one
to merrit whatever the funk or twitch or whatever the

(38:53):
fun he's doing. It will be so smaller than you think,
because so good at doing he's making those their viewers
justify throwing things that they truly believe under the bus
that they can they can keep that same base, and
then he won't be able to migrate anybody because it's

(39:15):
not a slick. Well, he definitely got forty thou people
to follow his Twitch channel in twenty four hours the
first time. That well, I mean, if you consider how
many people are like like, yeah, you already have to
be fucking with Twitch. But I guess he's going where
the homies are I could have. Maybe he gets so
desperate he's like, fuck it, I'm gonna have to start

(39:37):
streaming gaming to get my followers back. Look Miles as
somebody who knows literally nothing about Twitch. That's not that good. Okay,
that's not good. There could literally be forty people on Twitch.
I don't know. There's there's a million, couple more. The
front page of Fox news dot Com as of this
recording has a picture of Donald Trump Jr. Looking wine,

(40:00):
and the caption is it's not fair. So maybe they
are turning on it? Are Uh? That would be wonderful. Um,
let's talk about so this guy from you start looking
at the poles and like, oh, like the actual poles
named like, oh, all these people like this lady that

(40:21):
wants to kill all these billionaires, right, okay, okay, we
need to we need to start getting these people back
on our side, because I'm one of the billionaires. Like
there is out of touch old guy vice president, and
then the next two are people who are drumming up
the fucking and the billionaire class. Why did torches and pitchforks?

(40:41):
What the hell? The one thing I can't explain if
it's really going in that direction is why the his
approval rating is still just basically stand solid at fort
right now? Did you can manipulate any of those things?
Because also are they are they? Are they? Who are
they asking? Or is it a landline? Is? No? This
is the uh, this is the five thirty eight like

(41:04):
average of all the polls that they've like graded and
re graded. And so I always think of, like what
might junior year sociology professors said the first day of class,
it was sixty eight point seven of all statistics are inaccurate? Right,

(41:25):
but the polling though, there was a I think on
talking points about when someone was analyzing the polls to
see exactly where the shift happened, and it was the
day after the trans quote unquote transcript summary of the
call came out. Is when things went from before that
there was a whistlebler, there was no movement. Then that

(41:45):
came out and that's when even the Republican side started swinging.
So even then, I mean, like, maybe the approval might
be right, but I don't. Maybe some people can't feel
like I like them, but maybe he shouldn't be. Do
you approve what's that word mane of what improved? Yes,
he is the president. I approve of that. I can
prove that is that is a fact that I approve of.

(42:08):
There's a opinion piece in the Washington Post at the
end of last week from a guy who worked at
the CIA's the CEO at law Fair, which is like
a security national security, and it's yeah, but he was
saying that Basically, he's pointing out how all the assumptions

(42:31):
that say the Senate would never remove him from office
are using Clinton and Johnson like the last the other
two people who had who were impeached, and they weren't
really doing crimes. They weren't really doing crimes. He points
out that Johnson's crimes included speaking ill of Congress in

(42:54):
public ship. Man, I did that, I'm doing I'm done that,
I'll be honest. And then Clinton's acquittal, Yeah, I've done that.
We don't have to edit this, leave this in. I've
done that. And then Clinton perjured himself. But he was
also but I was just trying to get my dicks.
It was a personal It was perjury about a personal

(43:16):
thing and not something that was based on the presidencies. Yeah,
he was like, listen, yeah, I'm done it president at five, right,
If I'm getting Dome at five oh one, what is
the problem? Shut your mouth, right, even though I'm courcing
a young intern into doing it. Yeah. So, I mean

(43:38):
he's just saying, you know, and then if approval ratings
fall and support for impeachment continues to rise, then he
could definitely see it go in the other direction that
Republicans would remove him, would remove him, I mean, because
that's the thing. At a certain point, right, if is
this really are y'all willing to like make your last
stand on this with this is the leader going into it?

(44:02):
I don't know, Yeah, because if you really, if we're
really going to completely rat fuck the constitution like that,
then who's to say that he wouldn't just be your
forever leader, right, And I don't think they want to
hitch their wagon to that start. Well, I think they
saw that. I think he really showed his true cards
in the Turkey deal. Yeah, that's how completely. I think

(44:23):
that's where the GOP was like, oh ship there is
doesn't even get like honor or any They're just just
the basic sort of I think the Turkey thing was
just about him basically them. You know, they can't turn
on him yet on the impeachment stuff, so they realize, well,

(44:43):
we can shoot on him with regards to his you know, treating,
but it is objectively such a stupid, fucked up thing.
Oh totally. But I just think that it was like
people's opportunity to turn on him without so I guess
it goes back to what this guy is saying that.
Like it was like when how the Popeye's Chicken Sandwich

(45:04):
came out, like a few days after jay Z signed
the deal with the NFL, and every people were like,
you know what, I'm gonna put all my energy into
the Popeye because I don't want to talk about that.
I don't think to think about that. That's exactly right,
it's a popeye is jay Z. It's dude, It's called
an outrage transfer, Dude, like a fucking half pipe transfer
communicative property. Somewhere in the political science class. That's somebody

(45:25):
just wrote that, Dawn. Oh, that's known as the popeye
j Z popeyees jay Z outrage transfer. Its principle of
outrage transfer regeneration is gonna be called the wag the
dogs like, oh, that's the Papa jay Z pop the
pop z. Uh. Lindsey Graham had some interesting things to
say about Turkey to Turkey. In fact, on a prank

(45:48):
phone call that came from so basically Vladimir Putin prank
called Lindsey Graham. Yeah, basically like the Russian equivalent of
the Jerky Boys, who many people respect, like krem and
backing cool because their whole thing. They frank called, you know,
really prominent politicians and ship and get him to say stuff.
They asked Adam Schiff if like he wanted nude pictures

(46:10):
of Donald Trump, and his answer was like, yeah, let
me let me refer you to the FBI so you
can get those to me, right, Linda. When he was
asked about like franked him, he was like of course,
let me direct you to the FBI. Yeah. Like so
Lindsay Graham, on the other hand, was much mess here. Uh.
He basically said like, look, the president the present Turkish Okay,

(46:39):
he said he I'm the Turkish defense Minister. He was like,
sure you are. I totally believe you. And then he
proceeded to talk to him and say the President and
I are with you when it comes to the Kord's
being threats. These are supposed to be our allies. And
Lindsay Graham's like, yeah, me and the President get it.
You gotta kill these fuckers. Basically is he was coming from.

(47:01):
He was definitely appeasing, Yeah, appeasing, and then also kept
talking about the quote Turkish bank case. Yeah, there's an
interest in the Trump has an interest. Trump has an
interest in a Turkish bank case, and people are trying
to figure out what that is. They think it refers
to a US case involving Reza Zarab, an Iranian Turkish

(47:23):
gold trader and client of Trump's personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani. Man,
he's a great you know in the fucking money the
way he's probably fleecing all these people, was like, oh, yeah,
I can help that. I wonder if he's going to
say that he took him down on purpose from the inside. Oh,
he's Mr Flip. I mean he took down the mafia,

(47:46):
then became the mafia, right, and then we will become
He'll take him down again. Yeah, that's why I should
be president. And then he'll buy up Stain's Island. Right,
He's like, but look, I have a Yankees World Series
ring that I wear all the time. When he when
he when he like does these interviews, and his fucking
gaudy rings come into frame, You're like, dude, he just
look like a mob fucking he looks like a Tracy

(48:08):
characters really just starting to look like a dick Tracy kid.
But his but it would be the guy who puts
in his air pods upside down, Like that's his thing.
It's like it's him upside down pod. Wait, is there
a picture of him the air pod flip the ship?
So the fucking Mike was going up like an old
like FM radio drunk all the time. I just drunk constant.

(48:31):
His office is a cigar bar right at six Fifth Avenue,
is it? Yeah? How was there last time? I wish
I'd have known that would have tried to go up there.
I was rucked by there. Yeah, that's a guard bar there.
He hangs out and that's where he always talks about
how he's gonna fucking the president. Gonnau him. I got
I'll do a podcast. That's my favorite thing. I keep
hearing about. How would the writing is getting lazy? Could

(48:53):
we could I pitch a podcast with weird? Yes, if
I could make that happen, would be like, yeah, we're
in on that. I mean, you'd probably it would be
a democracy or what I mean if we want to
call this a democracy, but a republic saving podcast where
you'd probably he'd think you're so funny and then tell
you the most awful and just give it all up.

(49:14):
He's like, you gotta know about Trump. He's like, these
mics off and you're like, yes, Rudy, but but hold on,
hold on, let me just get a little bit closer. Okay,
So here's the deal. These are off, you know, like
those mikes are off. Those mikes right there are off. Yes,
ones are on, AND's my phone. We're live on Instagram.

(49:34):
All right, We're gonna take another quick break. We'll be
right back, and we're back and breaking News E J.
Daniel Do we need to get at that recording from now? Yeah?

(49:58):
There we go. Uh So Trump got forty thousand followers
in his first dawn Twitch, Bernie apparently got seventy thousand
his first day on Twitch, and Bob Ross the Ultimate God,
if he was still alive, he would be our president
and our god Emperor got a hundred and eighty thousand
and so you hate to see it. Yeah, it's tough.

(50:20):
I just say that to everything though. Damn, you just
hate to see it that good? You know, if if
I haven't been listening to you, I'm gonna respond with
is that good? And also, oh that sucks? Did you
eat it? What I have an ear infection? Is what's

(50:44):
the texture? Like, let's talk cruise ships and why I
will never go on one. I for one will go
on a cruise ship. I know you love? Yes? Really yeah,
it's not about you drink. Okay, well there we have
the answer, right, Okay, that's always the people that like it.
There was no other fun. I'm like, do you blackout drink?

(51:05):
They're like, yes, what's a blackout drink? You don't know
what that is? No? I just this is how I
have a good. That's why you can still drink. I
have a good time. I don't know what that is.
I have a good time, I drink, I wake up,
and then her majesty is like, you need to apologize
to a few people. Yeah, I don't know what happened.
Is that blackout? You don't remember? No? Oh yeah, that's

(51:25):
that's called drinking though, right everybody. That's what I thought
for a long time. And then some people told me
that it's bad. They introduced themselves by their first name U. No,
they just had their first initial last name on their
ID badge. This is bad. No, actually did scare the

(51:46):
ship on me because I used to when I would drink,
I would sleepwalk and just like would be out on
my feet. Basically that's blacking out. You call it sleepwalking,
but I'm blacking out. I would get up being passed
out and just like wander around and like fall downstairs
and hieah. And I was I was always certain that

(52:06):
I would fall off a cruise ship if I ever
want on. Yeah, you would A good thing. You're you're
drying now, that's like a perfect spot. Oh yeah, that
is definitely is ever like where you need to go
drinking cruise ship looking like Titanic on that first scene
when your feet on the belt in the rail until
I kind of like sign this contract. That's that's how

(52:27):
I would have gone. You know. It's not even the
drinking part. It's that a everything is self contained and
it ends up you end up going to different places
while having the illusion of never leaving somewhere. It's because
I'm very yeah, but with bad stand up comedy, um

(52:48):
and sometimes good ones. Actually I have some friends to
do it. Yeah, yeah, they're all right. Would you ever
do a cruise gig the right? Why can't? I'm I've
been doing stand up comedy long and have to know
the answer to that is like for the for the
ride of amount of money, I don't do anything right. Yeah,
you'll do the in a bikini on a rich guy's yacht. Yes, yeah, yes, uh,

(53:13):
Jeff Bezos will be calling you short thing. Yes. He
pays better than anyone's ever paid me. What do you wear? Nothing?
I didn't wear anything. I don't even have to worry
about that. I just had to dance around a little
to wear a much of those prime dash buttons. You know,
you gotta be naked. And that was like cool. I
didn't want to think about what I had to wear.
Norwegian Cruise, right, these people signed up for a two

(53:34):
week cruise that was supposed to go like stop off
in Amsterdam and go to Iceland, and like a lot
of people were really into the Iceland parts, so they
got the fucking over of a lifetime when it basically
didn't stop at a single fucking place it was supposed to.
On the day they're supposed to go to Amsterdam, they're like, hey,
the weather. So when they got there, they're like, look,

(54:00):
we're gonna have to go to Normandy. And then when
they got to Normandy, they're like, actually, we got to
cancel because the weather is too bad, and like what
the fund is? People were like find whatever, we get
it there, Like, as long as we get to Iceland.
Instead of going to the place where weed and shrooms
are legal, you go to the place where you think
about the deadliest day in the history of the most
shaking part of private We're gonna go there. Yeah, yeah,

(54:24):
the part that made you throw up for multiple reears.
This is the start of the US and guys, just
get off in your landing craft for going crying Grandpa crying.
Oh he's kept saying something about dog green sector. Um.
So when they get there, they were like, okay, no,
no fucking uh, Normandy whatever, we just want to go

(54:47):
to Iceland. Then they get there when they're about to
go to ice and like, look, we're really sorry, we
actually there. We have to cancel this. We're gonna go
to more towns in Norway and they go to these
we're in a warehouse and long babes. We never left
the warehouse ever. Now just a huge projection screen around you. Um.
And so they got to they get to these towns

(55:08):
in Norway that are you're in a Chevy commercial. I
feel like these people can't believe how fun their cruise was.
These are not actors. When they get there, they're going
to towns that have already closed up for like the
tourist season. So there's like one stop just had a
grocery store open, and then like what the fund is
there's not even anything to do? Um. And then I'm

(55:29):
going to interrupt again. And I would love to go
on this cruise because as someone that's like hates them
watching people that are like I love to go where
the shops are and say step things. And then they
got least and you don't even have to like get
next to the real people that live there because it's
like it's all quarantined, roped off so you can get
your fudge and not have to feel aw you're speaking

(55:51):
speak in Spanish right right, and then you I'm just
there like like this is everyone's so mad. This is
just like why from like the upper deck thing, why
did he do this? That's where it got to though,
because the fucking toilet sucked working, and then the food
went stale and the people started fucking like taking the

(56:14):
like main communal spaces and like chanting like real fun
and getting in like the administration quick. Yeah, but it's
funny because you always hear about these like awful cruise
ship things were like and sewage was coming out of everywhere. Um.
The fucking true kicking the balls comes in the form
of like the letter that they gave to passengers, like
you know, unfortunately, like there was bad weather and sometimes

(56:37):
that happens because we put the safety of our passengers
and our crew first. That's why we didn't do it.
To make up for this, we were willing to offer
you percent off your next cruise booking. That has to
be used in twenty four months. That's pretty good deal.
What a fun I mean, I please, I would have
just started stealing ship off the Yeah, everything, what we're

(56:59):
gonna I know you're staying in your own face. I
tell you what we're gonna do. What we're gonna give you.
Spoon that you eat, Oh my god, pretty good, Dale
Branda Frett spoon. What's the alternative? No spoon, Let's take

(57:19):
thee Yeah, let's talk about drive through his mouth this
this fucked with me man. Drive throughs might be bad
for the world or not. I don't know. That's like
the gist is because there's apparently been a no no here.
Here's the thing. Here's the thing I'm gonna before we
even say, it's not straws. It's not the drive throats,
the food that is being served there. It is the

(57:41):
giant mega corporations, oil corporation. Yeah, that's who's truly killing us.
It's not that we use too many goddamn straws. Yeah,
it's that they're putting people up under profits. That's all
people over profits whatever, you know what I mean? Yes,

(58:05):
I see that's a problem. That's why I can't be
a politician. Will always be somebody like, what do you
you meant to say this? Okay, I'm sorry, momentum I think,
but you know what I means, Like the crowd, I
just wrong. It's like this episode. Yeah, that would be like, No,
I couldn't ever be I think you probably could, or

(58:27):
people like this could because there's You're not gonna hide anything.
You're like, Yeah, look, I'm a human being who says stuff.
Oh yeah, yeah. Check out my second album I talk
all about Yeah, you get my whole Your appo research
is in the form of my stand up. My friend
put his finger in his pie hole? Who's from I'm sorry,
you want to be president? Yeah? Now, I'm cool policy

(58:48):
and motivating people and I understand military strategy really will,
but also have friends it put your finger in their
pe hole because you were seen this pretty funny. Hey,
who else has that in their wheelhouse? Huh, That's what
I'm saying. I'd say later, I can say I've seen
something like that. I think that if anyone George W.
Bush probably well this whole like Clinton's over there, I

(59:11):
can do it. I think it was good. I can
put three in there. Oh. So, Minneapolis became the latest
city to their passing ordinances that are banning the construction
of new drive through windows, and it's happening like Long
Beach in New Jersey, parts of Missouri. Um, but the
reasons they're saying is about like pollution, to cut down
on pollution, or like obesity. But here's the deal, Like

(59:33):
you're saying, these are just very like topical band aid
fixes to a like the ship is sinking, let's put
a band aid on like this one part. Well, even
I understand. The thought process though, is like to make
these things visible at your daily life, so you become
where on this big scale of what's happening. There's a

(59:56):
that this California, which is like a little enclave in
Silicon Valley. It's where a lot of CEOs lived lives there.
They don't have the cats. Your aunt is Nan Pierce
from Succession, it'd be cool. She is cool though, but um,
it's my aunt ant law. But they don't have draft

(01:00:16):
through at these and they don't have many they don't
have many fast food places either, so it's just like
and they're not that busy. You have to go kind
of down on all that ship because the whole thing
is convenience. Well, the thing they point to write because
they tried this in South l a. And the data
showed that obesity rates went up even when trying to

(01:00:38):
do this, because a lot of people end up like,
it's not that it's the drive through that's even enabling
at times, sometimes it's just the cheap, most affordable food
you can eat. So really there are other factors that
are actually in play to this. So it's like, that's
really not it. That's like really oversimplifying this kind of issue.
That's really what's going to happen, because you have the
rates climbed over the three years that they were actually

(01:01:00):
like analyzing the data. And also they should go the
other way and you should be able to drive up
and they put the food in your mouth for you.
That's called platinum service, just like a T shirt. Well,
they also the thing that they also point to also

(01:01:22):
that who have analyzed these kinds of things is that
even though if you can, you know, dissuade someone from
just like passively like being in their car and getting
like having a drive through option, a lot of people
just might go through like an Uber Eats or a
grub hub, so which is actually even worse for the environment.
If you're now sending more people on the road to
get your food. So there's like a lot of things

(01:01:43):
where people are kind of cutting the data and being like,
I don't is that the problem? Is that really what's
going to happen? Is it the drive through that's causing
the pollution? Is it the lack of regulation around emissions
that's the problem. But it's sort of sort of speaking
to your point, is that I think these sort of
ordinances have a feel of doing something well, but with
that without sort of completely I think objectively looking at

(01:02:07):
the drivers of the kinds of things they're trying to fix. Yeah,
we just gotta make a colossal change as a species. Yeah, well,
hopefully we'll see. And I don't know, if you've read history,
we're so good at collectively doing stuff like that. Yeah,
and we're so good at like repeating it too. We're

(01:02:28):
good at it when it's like too late. Yeah, yeah,
that's it hurts. Should they turned off the power? We
should pay like damn that red notice on the door
with serious huh. Yeah, I mean we have the money,
that's not the problem. I'm just like, they'll probably give
me a couple more day. I just don't want to
go to the place. I'm curious, Billy, to ask you

(01:02:49):
about this thing in Georgia that's happening with snakehead fish.
I don't know where. Okay, So there's been a proliferation
of snakeheads, which are fish that can breathe outside of water. Um, yes,
like for like a brief period, but they have the
capability of surviving above the water. And like I guess
they were really popular and aquariums, but they started like

(01:03:10):
showing up in Gwyna County or something in lakes because
they suspect a lot of people were just dumping them
into the like like most species that are four and
people just dumped all of the Everglades are fucking pythons
now right, Um So with this one, they were very
like the the state of Georgia just put out this
uh instructions to people if they come across these fish

(01:03:32):
that just says, what should you do if you find
a snakehead? Anglers are the first line of defense. If
you think you've caught a northern snakehead one all caps read,
do not release it, to kill it immediately and freeze it.
They can survive on land. Yes three if possible, take
Pictures of the fish include close ups of its mouth, fins,

(01:03:53):
and tail. Four Nowhere it was caught, like the water
body landmarks or GPS coordinates immediately reported to the Regional
Georgia d and or Wildlife Resources Division Tree's office. So
a lot of the people are saying that, you know,
when they think about these new invasive species, obviously one
version is like, it's probably fine, but they are just
so unwilling because they're like the second unit. Or do
something like this, it's going to funk the whole food

(01:04:14):
chain up, no matter what, because at all, at one segment,
it's going to disrupt things. And I'm not very familiar
with England or fishing, but I guess that the people
who are out there are probably like, if these fish
are sucking up my bass fishing or something, that, yeah,
maybe it's good to enlist the anglers. Well, I think
the misconception that a lot of people that want to
protect the environment and animals have against hunters is that

(01:04:36):
they're not conservationist like most people. I know that hunting
fish care more about the environment than most people I
know because they're out in it every day. I mean,
there are the assholes, right keel as much as I can,
and right, how did the army miss? You know? Right?
But like these people, I think what they understand if
you've ever traveled through this out there's this uh uh

(01:04:59):
play called kud Zoo. It's from that covers everything and
it just they can't kill it. The fun thing is
now there's little festivals popping up because they can eat
it and all this ship but they can't kill it
just covers everything. It looks cool because then you realize
they can't stop it. So that's I think that people
probably see that and then they look in the Everglades

(01:05:22):
and they're just wiping out all the other species because
they're not supposed to be there and they have no
and these motherfucker's can live on land. I think that's
just more just walk it. Basically, it's like flapping across
land like a snake and welling into the water. I
think that's more the thing to be, like, listen, kill it,

(01:05:44):
because if it goes walking on land and like your
grandmother or some religious person sees it, we're fuck. They
don't need to see stuff like this because they're like,
this is the end times, right to man's right. The
orange one brought the serpents. Uh, Billy Wayne, It's been
