Ali Gondor. I guess what's name. Welcome, thank you for
being here, Happy long time. I'm saying that for you.

(01:26):
Happy New Year to you first time, the first time,
long time, bruin. So you guys go way back, right,
we go way back without knowing we were way back,
just floating around the same giant school, paying a lot
of money. Yeah, exactly, floating around that bear statue on
the quad. Yeah you know, you know I used to

(01:48):
jog around there sometimes, did you? Yeah? Did you we
ever joined up the Squirrels of u c L a
Facebook fan page? No, remember, there's some fucking page. It was.
It was prime time for like bad Facebook groups, you know,
Like I remember like there was a there was a
group that was just like sereal and it had like
two million members or something. It's just like you get it, yeah,

(02:11):
because at the time, like likes were also a thing.
You look at someone's profile, like what they like, brands
to them like this is like two years maybe after
the clever thing on my Space being to make a
MySpace page for something that didn't exist, you know, like yeah,
or be like this is the my space page for
Big Bird and like big Bird as a my space. Yeah.

(02:35):
Why do college campuses have the most aggressive squirrels? Was
that the case? They're fed? But I mean, like cities
squirrels are fed to. I think in that area there's
just been generations of squirrels who know, these people will
give you food. Yeah, but I mean where I want
to call. I guess maybe just there's so much garbage
that they get to. What are you trying to? College?

(03:00):
My college had the most aggressive squirrels. They would just
like walk towards Georgetown. Yeah, those gray squirrels. Yeah, yeah,
very strange and they were strangely colored too. If it's
a universe of college thing, maybe they're picking up on
like pheromones, you know, like college kids and heat. Yeah yeah,
or maybe they're maybe it's like just half empty beers

(03:21):
and they're getting just like getting beer muscle with west
What what didn't have ship like beers strewn about on
canvas because people weren't It wasn't the life. You weren't
living that life, right, I was constricted to a couple
of streets. Yeah exactly, And yeah that might have just
been my college experience. You're just drinking on canvas, just
bes waking up on the quad with a half empty

(03:44):
beer in my hands, using a squirrel as a pillow.
All right, we're gonna get to know you a little
bit better in a moment first wreaking. Tell our listeners
a couple of things we're talking about, uh, such as
big news, the Avatar sequel is finally coming in two years,
Oh my god, and the so so what we got

(04:06):
We're well, we'll we'll get into it. We we got
what looks like a bunch of screensavers. We gotta roll
our sleeves up and dig deep through all this material.
These four shots. We're gonna talk about Iran. We're gonna
talk about how a Pentagon is dealing with Iran and
Iraq and being kicked out of Iraq and uh, you know,

(04:27):
not knowing shown a lot of organization. We're gonna do
a men with Weinstein. I almost called him Jeffrey Weinstein,
but that's a different guy. Harvey Weinstein's trial and new
charges coming from the Los Angeles DA. We're also gonna

(04:48):
talk about Courtney Freel, uh, former Fox News anchor who
the President reached out to and had a you know,
very enticing invitation for her. We're gonna talk about that.
We're gonna talk about a campaign funding update for the Democrats.
We're gonna talk about Tesla, which is now the most

(05:08):
valuable car company in US history. Uh, somehow, that's right, Bro,
that's right. That trade haters are you? I just I'm
a fan of blunts though, so you know, I'm a
fan of have to support Elant. I'm a fan of
his dancing. He looked very comfortable doing both of those things.

(05:31):
Totally cool. Smoking a blunt like a cop from Middle Earth.
He dances and smoke a blunt like somebody was raised
with loose emeralds in his pocket, which he was. Uh,
we're gonna talk about Lori Laughlin's defense, We're gonna talk
about what movies are coming out in all of that
and plenty more. But first Ali, we like to ask
our guests, what is something from your search history that's

(05:52):
really about who you are? Uh? Yeah, I went back
and looked. Um, this was a search for Luke's eyewalker
and and uncle burned action figures. This is uh so
from the very first movie. There's that one brutal scene

(06:14):
where he comes back home to find just the most
insanely violent like charred remains. They're just these like smoking skeletons.
It might be like the most brutal death of anyone
in the series, right, I didn't really I don't remember him.
He comes back Uncle Owen on brew fucking scorched sort,

(06:34):
and it's you see, like Jawbone and ship. It's like
I went back and watched it. It's enough. There's first
you he gets the idea of like, oh wait, that
that means my home might be on fire too. He
comes back home, you see a wider shot of the
charred bodies and you're like, oh, that's brutal. And then
they do one zoomed in one that has them like
Pirates of the Caribbean style, like stretched across their front.

(06:55):
Here we got the pictures full on skeleton skeletal remains. Yo.
That is like straight up terminator too, but worse. I
honestly think it's the worst death anyone's had in any
of the thing, like including villains, probably for like a
PG movie. Well, I guess Rass of the Last Ark
was also PG, and we saw somebody's face melt off
his skull. Yeah, so so I I remember like back

(07:17):
in the day finding somebody put this in like a
forum or something, this image of the action figure set
of Luke's and uncle, and it was just these charred skeletons,
but in the traditional action figure packaging with like you know,
the cardboard back, a little plastic C three thing, and
there was I think this was like early enough on
the Internet that there was nowhere no way to tell

(07:37):
if it was real or not. So I just recently
was like, was that a real thing? Went and looked
never an official product, but somebody on Etsy has started
producing them custom made can So their existence and death
always raised an interesting question for me because they were hidden,
like they hid Luke Skywalker, Anakin Skywalker's son that he

(08:01):
didn't know existed with his relatives, so they weren't even
really trying to hide him from Darth Vader like Darth
Vader should have known because it was with Darth Vader's relatives.
So and like obi one was hanging out right there.
So why My my theory on this theory on this

(08:26):
is that Darth Vader was in on it the whole
time and he was protecting his children. Yeah. Yeah, my
theory is Darth Vader is Luke Skywalker's dad, No, dude,
that's just a series that Wait, So, was you're saying
Owen is related to Darth Vader? I think he is. Yeah,

(08:47):
I think he was sent there so that aunt step brother,
step brother of Anakin. Yeah, so I mean there you go,
like you think he's he's gonna never find them if
he's hanging out with his stepbrother, has his adopted kid. Yeah,
I didn't. I didn't realize Baru's last name was white
Sun Baru, white Sun Lars. How did you not realize?

(09:12):
That's because in the movie they were scorched skeletons just
called uncle Owen and on Baru. I love the Expanded Universe. Though.
She did feed him a lot of blue milk. I
think that was crucial to him growing up a strong boy.
I love to watch him just drink it right from
the utter. That's what I was hoping in the second Yeah,
in the second of the New prequels, because there was

(09:34):
or whatever the sequels, there were those animals that just
had the wild utters hanging out. Yeah, but did blue
milk come out of Yeah, Luke squared a blue milk
directly into his own mouth. Dude, I blocked that ship
out of my mind should have I thought, so, is
that right? It's like it's like a greenish. I think
it harkens back to that blue milk he used to drink,
for sure. Man, he gives a big old slurp. Yeah,

(09:56):
like he's a freak. He's been living on the island,
he had his own he was real like they went
in on like him just being like kind of fucked up.
Like it's just that like a lot of Bachelor life,
left yourself too long, Like man, go over there, like, yo,
what the fun is the original hedonism, which is probably

(10:19):
more accurate, but it's also like kind of weird that
this is a weird call to make him so strange.
What is something you think is overrated? Overrated? I'm I'm
going quite literally with this one. Five star uber drivers
and five star lift drivers, and this is this this
comes with you. There are so many drivers out there

(10:40):
who are great five stars. I get it. It's a
great hustle. I respect the hustle, but I've just had
way too many experiences getting into a car with somebody
who turns out to be an insane like nut job,
racist or like misogynist. He's trying to get me to
talk like just slimy shit about the girls on the
sidewalk and up in their ratings like four point nine eight. Yeah.

(11:02):
So I just like, I think there's maybe an epidemic
of people being too scared to give and uber driver
because on one hand, like you don't want to knock
someone's ability to like to like you don't want to
funk up their ratings, right, But I think some drivers
are kind of shape shifters depending on their passengers because
you read the thing, it's like they were so helpful

(11:23):
and it's like, I'm sure the slick ones, no, don't
start talking some ship about a woman's ass on the
street to when you have women in the car, right,
you gotta do it in there. And they could be like, yeah,
let me loosen the tie a little bit, so they're yeah,
they're not seeing it. I had I had a I
had one just crazy experience where I got out and
it was like it was there was this woman. I
could tell she was like maybe having a night. Like

(11:43):
I got in. She took like a couple of minutes
too long, kind of finishing her text before we started going.
I was like, Oh, that's chill, do your thing, And
then she turned up the radio super loud. It was
it was like led Zeppelin Whole Lot of Love, which
was really funny. And I was like, okay, Sandra, like
you you you rock? You know what impression you're trying

(12:03):
to give. And she starts speeding down these like speed
bumps down my street, like hitting them hard, like where
she's where. I'm like, hey, you're you're ruining your car
right now, what you're doing? Uh? And then after after
you know, just maybe like like five minutes of that,
we get out. She turns down the radio and she
looks back at me in the rear view mirror and
she goes, can I ask you something? Why are all

(12:25):
guys such assholes? Why are you all assholes? And I
was just like ye, I'm saying, yeah, we can be
pretty bad me before I answer, am I have five star? Asshole?
Might effective I give you five stars? Uh, there's a
way to have that conversation. I've had that conversation like, yeah,

(12:47):
guys are dicks, let's talk about it. But the more
we got into it, the more it was just like, oh, no,
you are the wrong one here. And she was also
driving like, um, do you remember in Vanilla Sky when
Cameron Diaz is doing that like like that crazy death ride.
Like that's truly like my conversation wasn't coming from a
place of empathy. It was coming from calm this person
down crash and her rating was again like four point

(13:10):
nine or something. And I'm not always yea, yeah, I
always do too. And that's and I'm saying unless I
there is there is a part of that that I
think is like the good guy move, like yes, let's
support this, Let's like make sure that whatever. I think
it's so easy to give a five star ride, let's
give them all five stars. But if you give somebody
a five star ride and they're a little bit crazy,

(13:31):
you're passing that hot potato onto somebody who's gonna get
it and it's gonna explode on ye or you just
have to say, hey, my man, I gotta warn you man,
we're drifting into a four star ride here right, And
I don't want to fuck in. I'm not trying to
try to take money out of your pocket, but this
is becoming a quickly. I mean, I'll be honest, this
might be a two star ride. To go four stars,

(13:51):
I would have to believe that they should not be
doing this job for the safety of themselves or others.
So that's your star and eight her sent a B
a B plus on minus on a test means you
should not be driving this car. If that is what happened.
Somebody takes a hundred rides, they're all like nothing, they're
all eventless, they're all five star. Then you take a

(14:13):
ride and it's like pretty bad and they get a
four star and it affects their rating like nothing. I
think probably maybe more nuanced rating. I can't just say
by the based on the everything I've experienced on this
ride that I can just distill it down to one metric.
I can do five stars for conversation, I can do
five stars for driving. I can do three stars for
the farting, right, Yeah, Yeah, that's what's the what's the

(14:36):
wildest uber experience you've ever had? Ton bro I had
a dude who was from Uzbekistan and he was complaining
that you couldn't punch women in the United States. Yeah,
he was like you like he was describing like punching
someone like his friend. He said like, yeah, my friend
is in jail because he and was gesturing punching like

(14:59):
he punched like your woman and now he's jail and
I'm like right, and he's like no, not like that
at home, and I was like, okay, thank you for
any one. Usually I get like mostly ignorant people with
terrible takes on social issues. Like I remember, like when
Pride was happening. Uh, this this French guy. He was

(15:22):
driving me and her majesty uh through like West Hollywood
and like all the streets were you know, there's a
bunch of closures because the parade was happening. He was,
I don't understand this. They have to have a parade.
There's no straight people with parade. And I said, I'm
pretty sure every parade that exists, just like when when
people I remember in high school constantly having to educate

(15:45):
white classmates on why there's a and I'm like, it's
called every other network because it already is. So that's
what it's. That's do you understand that imbalance? Never mind
l A. You get a lot of actors, actors, cook
top actors. I've had a couple of those that are
wild or like I get ones to old players, like

(16:06):
old black dudes in their fifties who are telling me.
They're like, hey, bro, they're just telling me about all
their like women problems, and it's a hilarious because I'm like,
you have non matured at all emotionally in your fifth
you have grandchildren, and you're talking about you're referring to
like when your girlfriend is like this hole is not
you know, she she wants to get all in my

(16:27):
ship because I'm coming home late. I'm just playing basketball.
I'm like, okay, but do you never mind? I'm thank
you so much. This conversation has been entertainment. What's something
you think is underrated? I'm gonna go with the musician, performer,
philosopher Andrew w K. Yeah, this controversial. I feel like

(16:50):
a lot of people maybe don't have the best opinion
of him, regardless of whether you're into his music, which
I think first first two albums are awesome if you
want to get into the album I Get Wet or
the album The Wolf, both of those great. He has
since moved on to become, uh this very like thoughtful

(17:11):
voice of empathetic philosophy. He had He had a column
in the Village Voice for a long time. I think
it's like a weekly thing where it was like ask
Andrew w K and people would write in with these
questions that were like pretty heavy, and he just gives
like the most. Uh. Just his whole philosophy basically is
like life is this overwhelming thing that we're all experiencing,

(17:34):
and every single moment that you feel unease, like that
is the feeling of being alive, and that is something
that like you need to embrace and fold into your experience. Yeah,
and the way that he expresses all of that is partying. Yeah,
like partying. Partying is the way to channel that single
vibration that we all are on and all struggling with.

(17:57):
I worked with him a yeah. When I worked at Playboy,
we basically did a failed April Fool's Day campaign where
I pitched Andrew w K this idea that this is
during the presidential election. I said, it's like so left
and right right now, it's like, let's do a thing
where you're announcing this new thing called the Party Party.

(18:19):
So it's not the Republican Party or the Democrat Party,
it's the Party Party. And we did this whole like
video and he, dude, he went on Fox and all
these things. The problem was he was not telling people
it was done with Playboy, so he sort of took
it as like this thing where people like and you're
starting this new movie. He's like yeah, yeah, yeah, He's
like thanks to Playboy. It's like, but this was fake
and I just helped, okay whatever, And like working with

(18:41):
him was also very interesting because he was so involved
in it and he also is dude. This dude came.
He showed up to the first meeting with a CVS
shopping bag as his briefcase. I'm not even joking his
wallet in there, he has some keys, he had a
phone in there, and like a notepad and it was
a shot upping bag and these like wild ass wrap

(19:02):
around like blue blocker sunglasses. And remember him coming in
this building, putting down his shopping bag and takes his
glasses off, folds them very nicely and like very daintily,
like puts them in his shopping bag as if that
were the sunglasses case. And what about it. I was
more focused on his shopping bag briefcase. Yeah, he's like
he's he's weirdly like minimalist and maximalist at the same time,

(19:23):
you know, like he's like, there's that, but then his
concerts and his whole vibe is just like to the max.
That first album I get wet is just like everything
is just a pounding like party anthem, there's a party
is in Like I want to say four of the
song titles on the album um he uh. And I
was I had a weird like relationship with him too,

(19:44):
because I used to ride home from high school with
this guy and he played him a lot and I
was like more into I was like a little bit
more of like a punk music snob or like a
f X twin kind of stuff. Sure, and he would
play Andrew D b K and I was just like,
this guy is just like a jock, Like what is it? Like,
what what's the dealing with this? And then I watched
him live on SNL and just the amount of energy

(20:04):
that he gave to that performance on SNL, I was
just like sitting on the floor the glow of the
TV on my face and I was just like enthralled.
I was like I'm in, I'm fully in, Like I
want to take a photo of blood all over my face.
My I used to have a poster that that cover
in my room and one time my my niece was
over at my house and she like wandered in my

(20:26):
room and she saw it and my mom like wasn't
able to stop her from seeing the posters. Like what
happened in my mom's explanation was like, oh, no, he
hit his nose and he's on the way to the doctor.
That's right, that's how you party. Man. Uh. Finally, what
is a myth with some of the people think it's
true you know to be false. The myth is that

(20:46):
you can recycle paper towels. You can't recycle paper towels. Yeah,
it's a bummer, but I've yeah, I'm I'm I'm a
little o c D about it, like at my place,
because I'll see paper towels in the recycle and then
I'm like picking and putting them in the right spot.
There's something about the fibers of paper towels, like they've
been recycled so many times that the fibers are now

(21:09):
too short to be used for anything else. Um. Also
anything that's grease. Yeah, pizza box. I've seen ads with
the pizza box thing where if you can get the
top of the pizza box off and it's not greasy,
you can recycle that, but the bottom of it. Yeah,
and that's that's wild too. The grease thing is something
like once they mix all the paper stuff up into

(21:30):
whatever that like recycle slurry is that they can make
new stuff out of the grease just kind of creates
these like weird oil bubbles in it and stuff, so
they can't use it at all. Yeah, paper towels is
a big bummer. But then I've also read like, look,
it's something that's been used as many times as it
could have been if you can compost it, but otherwise
don't put it in the in the recycle because it'll

(21:51):
it'll funk up. I'm just making I'm making a big
paper towel ball perfect how like Indiana Jones style. I
just can't you know what this has to go to
something and then just leave it in a room and
anytime you need to wipe your hands, you just how
how important is it that you like rent out a
glass jar that you're recycling. Is that that's a good question.

(22:12):
I'm definitely I'm not the authority on it by any means,
but like I've heard, as long as you can kind
of get most of the food foody chunks off of
it because they have to do their own cleaning process
at the plant to but just like you know, I
guess I would compare it to like if you wash
stuff off of a dish before you put it in
a dishwasher, maybe like about that amount. You know, I

(22:34):
don't know, immigrant, my immigrant mother. In my mind, fucking
I'm scrubbing the whole thing about that man. I used
to have to Oh my god, didn't didn't have it
was me, it was my hands. Our ours was storage. Yeah, yeah, exactly,
that's for extra for the dishes there. Ours had like
other like food and stuff. It's just like another another pantry. Yeah. No,

(22:58):
I was like, I, yeah, I was drilled into just
cleaning every fucking thing out because in Japan, when you
do your recycling, you clean the funk out that ship.
You yeah, you, I mean. But that's just also, I
think culturally in built of just being as throw as possible,
and it's mostly about not inconveniencing the other, the person
on the other end of this transaction, which would be
like the person invested the process that you're like, well,

(23:19):
let's make their job easier. Yeah. I feel it feels
better to put out recycling that's been rinsed out. Oh yeah.
When I do it, I feel like fire up another
coal plant. Baby. Yeah. Oh, the other The other last
thing that a lot of people do too is don't
put it in a trash bag, like don't put your
loose recycle, yeah, because then that gets often just mistaken

(23:41):
for trash, and so they'll just throw that whole thing.
They have recycle bags if you like still want to
use bags for recycles. They have recycle bags that are
like translucent blue so that you can see through them.
They're kind of like known as recycle and then that
that will help you. I use paper shopping bags yea,
and yeah, because then that bag can be recycled to

(24:02):
work if you need to get a bag at the
at the store. You know, this bring your own one
of those very straightforward myths that I think is actually
helping people. Well, I also started using your face, Marcella
because of the paper towels. I I just I started
using like like dish like dish towels more. I mean
like going back to that that time. But also like

(24:22):
in a Japanese house, you would have just like one
wet damp cloth that's used for like wiping or everything
like throughout the day, so you would all there. I'm
like trying to bring that ship back the pre one
damp one dry, Yeah, one because like you would leave
it on your dining table so then you can wipe
up the table, or like if your fingers were just
kind of dirty, because it kind of hit your fingers
with a real quickly and then you have a little napkin.

(24:43):
I don't know, but there are strokes for different folks.
All Right, we're gonna take a quick break. We'll be
right back, and we're back. And uh so we're continuing
to see a little bit of pushback in these United

(25:06):
States and quite a bit of pushback any irong, uh
from the assassination of sulmoney Um. Rand Paul has come
out and said the libertarian senator I went on Fox
to say, basically he he doesn't like this. Yeah, that,
I guess the most reasonable thing you could say from

(25:27):
coming out of rand Paul. His whole thing was just
sort of like, yeah, if you asked if we're safer
now than we were before Solimani was killed, the answers
we were safer before all of this happened, and how
unnecessary this is. And his whole thing was like, well,
I don't I think diplomacy is now not an option anymore.
And he's like, I hate this, Yeah, I hate this,

(25:48):
But I don't know. He's been such a rubber stamp
for Trump. I don't know if he's going to be
a full blown opponent of armed conflict with Iran or
he just says this so when he inevitable, if it
comes to some kind of vote where he has to
you know, be recorded and go on the record, he'll
be like, well, I also did say I hated this, right,
but I'll also confirm breck ha So whatever I'll do. So, uh,

(26:09):
you know, very a little bit of pushback, but I
guess you know you could if you had to file
that under something, it would be a light push Yeah.
And then is the So the official position is still
that they did it because he was like about to
pull the trigger on like twenty four style. Uh, like

(26:29):
there's a bomb underneath the convention center came out. Um,
but yeah, there there's According to people who don't believe everything,
the president says, like, nobody really knows why I did
it other than to kind of make himself seem like
war president. And anyone who has answers has been so
cryptic when they're pressed about like, well, what is it? Then?

(26:51):
Can we see this intelligence like well, I don't know,
like he's nice, like he's this is bad, something going
to happen. Do you think he told Ms McConnell on
that golf trip. Yeah, probably it was about it. I
felt like such a brag when he was like I
knew about it on our golf out. Yeah. It's like,
oh yeah, well of course he's I don't know. These

(27:13):
people are just absolute monsters. And then when you look
at even another bit of pushback came from Mark Esper,
the Secretary of Defense, who again we'll talk a little
bit more about how disorganized the Pentagon is, but he
was sort of saying like, oh, yeah, like destroying like
cultural sites, Iranian cultural sites, that's not going to happen.
We will follow the laws of armed conflict. The President

(27:35):
threatened to destroy fifty two different sites, uh, and some
of them cultural sites. And which is a number tied
to like the even of of hot number of hostages. Yeaheah.
It's like it's like straight up like terrorists ship. It's
like yeah, well, and also yeah, you're you expect the
region of the world where like the eye for and

(27:56):
eye retaliation philosophy is born out of like you can
you think you're just gonna get a way with like
cultural genocide to like it's the whole thing is an
absolute mess. And also like the idea that America would
follow the laws of armed conflict is also right yeah,
um fifty two is a very like art of the
deal kind of thing too, right, right, Oh yeah, make

(28:18):
that meaning yes, I don't know. And so we're just
kind of waiting around because Iran has said that or
the suprem leader has said that they're going to respond directly.
It's not like a proxy will attack a U S
a U S interest. It will be a direct attack.
So that's what Yeah, even net and Yahoo was like

(28:43):
I don't know, I don't know if that was a
good idea, right, Yeah, he's distancing himself from this ship.
And like again this was so impulsive. And this is
because we are at that stage now where you're like, man,
I wonder how bad this presidency could get. We're fucking
here now. Like before it was a lot of just
posturing and bullshit. Obviously the untold sorrow and pain caused

(29:05):
to many other groups of people, but now we're in
that phase where it's now a beyond like turning into
a global liability so the Iraqi parliament voted to basically
issue a was it a resolution, uh, to kick US
troops out of the country victim um, and yeah, to

(29:30):
evict them. Yeah, it was a resolution which is non binding,
but they're urging the government to evict American troops. And
the Pentagon had a letter that they issued that said yeah,
we're gonna do that and like giving people instructions on
how to get the funk out of Iraq. And then

(29:50):
the Joint Chiefs Chairman or the Defense Secretary told reporters, Uh,
there's been no decision whatsoever to leave Iraq. Period. He
ran ran down the hall and like said it was
a mistake. The Joint Chiefs Chairman confessed the letter was
a draft released quote by mistake. And then uh, somebody

(30:12):
somebody else suggested that it was like a disinformation campaign,
like they tried to make it seem like, oh, we're
we're being funcked with by spies. That's that's why we're
so fucked up, that's why we're gotten everything completely wrong,
or there's no plan yea, And this is I mean again,
I think a lot of people suspect, like, oh, how
that mess, how that letter leak when you're dealing directly

(30:35):
with the government of Iraq. It wasn't leaked they issued it. No, no,
But I'm saying there's one train of thought where they
were working on this draft together because the they were
in fact planning on troop withdrawal unbeknownst to Trump. Therefore,
the denials came out because they're dealing directly with them,
being like, yeah, yeah, well, I guess we'll have to
get the funk out, but I just don't tell old

(30:57):
you know, fucking mashed potato brain, right, So it's gonna
get really gonna get really angry um or that you know,
even within that there's been such an erosion of trust
between the two governments, they're like they'll just leak any
fucking thing that they get their hands on too, Like, yeah,
we don't really, we don't. We're not really interested in
this relationship anymore. Yeah, regardless of what the truth is

(31:19):
behind this, it just shows no one is on the
same page, no one has a plan, and this is
just I don't know, further revealing the chaos that is
existing within the Defense Department and like having to deal
with whatever, you know, the president's wishes are. Yeah, this
daily mail article says that it would be ordinary to
have a contingency plan that included an advisory letter to

(31:43):
a host country. So like that, it makes sense that
this would exist and that there would be a draft
of it, but that a copy surface overnight that was
translated into Arabic, and so that suggested it was finalized language,
not a draft. So uh, it seems like they're just
kind of over the Sometimes he translates stuff into Arabic
for fun. Yeah, exactly, it's just practice. Um, Paul goes Are.

(32:08):
Is that how we're pronouncing that goes Are the goes Arian? Yeah?
I don't know. That's straight up a ghost a Ghostbusters
Vegas Mark, Mark Paul Mark. But I didn't realize he
was Indonesian, Mark Paul. He's partially Asian? Is he? Yeah? Yes, people,
I was like, what Zach Morril on time out? Yes,

(32:30):
Asian icon Mark Paul Gosseler. I just want to say, wait,
what is it? We didn't all freeze when he said
time out, time out. I don't know his mother, who
is of Indonesian and Dutch descent, is from Bali. Hell yeah,
so just a little fact. I learned that as at
an Asian as fun show ucb Um. Yeah, so Paul

(32:50):
gos are he's a dentist and he is. He's one
of those he's a dentist. Yeah, he's like handles Dr
Paul go sorrow on Twitter, he he's been known to
be a verified piece of ship. When he was running
for office, his siblings put out an ad being like,
don't vote for this ship bag our brother. He's a racist.

(33:12):
He doesn't deserve any kind of power or responsibility. Leave
this man alone. He still was elected, but he is
now um, you know, just to add to his resume. Resume.
He also believed the Charlotte's the violence in Charlottesville was
a left wing plot of course, and tried to like
boycott the Pope because of all the climate change talk,

(33:34):
because the Pope acknowledged climate Jane, you're Lane bro, Yeah,
like he wasn't. He's just anyway, this is this is this.
He has nobody in his corner, and again he acts
he now acts like a guy who has no one
in his corner and just gets their jollies from like
trolling and the little likes he can get off posts.
So he oh. On Christmas again, he posted a video
of Hillary Clinton in a TV interview where a light

(33:55):
stand like fell down, like hit her in the head,
and he's like, he's like, remember the reason for the
season or tis to see some dumb ship Like okay, fine,
because yeah, you just like to see women get hit
with things. Um And then on this week, he then
posted a photo of what looks like President Barack Obama

(34:16):
shaking hands with President Rohani of Iran Uh and captioned it,
the world is a better place without these guys in power.
Now this doesn't make sense because a the ship is
fucking photo shopped from the time. At the time, I
think Obama was meeting with the president of India and
be Rohany is still in power. So everyone was like,

(34:40):
what are you trying to say? Like what does this mean?
Like do you think this is Solomoni or something? What?
What what are you getting at? And in true like
loser insecure troll fashion, he goes on the attack. So
he has explained why he did this dumb fucking photo
one thread okay, prepare yourself for thread age one. To

(35:00):
the dim witted reporters like at d Medine eleven, no
one said this wasn't photo shot. No one said the
president of Iran was dead. No one said Obama met
with Rouhani in person. The tweet said the world is
a better place without either of them in power. Dim

(35:23):
wit to point the two. The point remains to all
but the dimmest. Obama coddled, uppeased, nurtured, and protected the
world's number one sponsor of terror. The world is better
without Obama as president. The world will be better off
without Rohani. Face. How did you not take that from

(35:44):
his initial tweet of a photoshop photo saying that it's
better that both of these guys aren't in power anymore,
even though one of them is. No one said this
was Dr Paul dentist, go fuck yourself that the world
is a better place. We were supposed to read that
half is currently without Obama and and half will be

(36:08):
is a better place when he's out. Nobody said this
wasn't photo. Yeah, someone like that's the Gettysburg address of
our modern times. Yo, love it? Uh? What a fucking tool.
Let's let's check in with me. Uh. So, Harvey Weinstein

(36:33):
trial was supposed to be sort of a boring day. Uh.
Two days ago Monday, things were kicking off with jury selection. Uh,
but a couple of things happen. So, first of all, Monday, Uh,
the l A. D A announced that they were bringing
charges because of women he raped in Los Angeles. Uh,

(36:54):
in his hotel room, not that long ago and the
past ten years. Uh. And so they're asking for extra
bail and to remand him in prison while he awaits trial, because,
as The New York d A pointed out, he may
realize just how completely fucked he Isn't like, he's like

(37:16):
he's even more of a flight risk than he was before,
because now even if he thinks he can get off here,
he then has another trial ahead of him in Los Angeles. Uh.
And yeah, so Uh. Also on Tuesday, he was texting
during the trial, like in the courtroom. He was on

(37:37):
his phone during millennial, right, And the judge is famous
for being like, no phones in my courtroom, and he
just like was all on that ship like I've been
trying to hide it. The judge flipped out on him,
flipped out on his lawyers. His lawyers were like, guys,
come on, this isn't fair that, like there's so much

(38:00):
information out there about what a rapist our client is.
How's he going to get a failed fair trial? Uh?
And the judge was like, get the funk out of here.
So that's where we're at with that. I think they're
adding another So he's out on five million dollar bail
for the New York charges, and they added another five million,

(38:20):
which I'm sure will have no problem coming up with,
although I don't how does somebody like this get five
million dollars like just to the bank. Yeah, I gotta go,
fund me going if you guys want to pitch. I mean,
he's like, you want like reform around bail to be like, Okay,
how much money you got you willing to come up

(38:41):
off that? Yeah, that's how That's how that should affects
most other people who get caught up in the legal system,
like least it's like should be relative, right yeah? Or
what I mean, or just figure out or get rid
of this just I don't know, reforming like clearly when
you got money where you can be like I think
when you're when you're at that level, because most people

(39:03):
we've noticed there's basically two legal systems in this country
at that level. I mean, as if they'd make the
rules fair, it should I really feel like you want
to you want those people to really consider It's like
huh am, I really do I think I'm that innocent?
Or is it worth it to me to put all
this money out, because then they can just go out
and fucking you know, wear your ankle monitor and go

(39:23):
yuck it up if someone's open mic, something proportional, because
even if you do get them to do eight percent,
they'll just find a way to divert their funds elsewhere
and be like, this is my and we have the
same thing. Yeah. Or people when they're trying to do
child support or spousal support exactly, like Rudy Giuliani literally
quit his job at the beginning of I think of
twenty nineteen, so he could tell like a judge like

(39:45):
I can't support my my ex wife. It's like, bro,
you quit your job, so look like you have no income.
But most judges now are used to that trick, and
they're like, pay up, Look at all this money I
spent on buying bitcoin, don't I don't have any dollars left.
I went to Ukraine a bunch. Those tickets aren't cheap.
In another man Ghazi update, uh, there's a new accuser

(40:07):
of the president. Her name is Courtney Freel. She was
a fill in Fox and Friends host, and she had
said that she would be addressed in like being in
some way associated with the Miss Universe pageant, like a
judge or something, because I guess her background is also

(40:29):
uh in the pageant culture. Well, yeah, you can't be
an anchor, a woman anchor on Fox unless you've been
through the pageant. So that's the feeder system. Uh So
Trump reached out to her just being uh, you know,
He's like, oh, well look at that. I mean, I'm
a fan and she wants to be involved with my thing.

(40:49):
Uh So he reached out to her and just wanted
to let her know that she was the hottest of
them all on Fox News, and also invited her up.
He said, uh, and this is how we know it's
true because this is like so awkward and specific. He said,
you should come up to my office sometimes so we

(41:10):
can kiss um, which is Jesus, yeah, what come up
to my office sometimes so we can like that. She
wouldn't be able to That's not if you were making
that up. You would not say that because it's so
weird sounding that it would like you would come up
with something more believable, like how Jeff Bezos is uh,

(41:32):
I love you alive girls exactly. You're like, yeah, okay,
that's some weird Yeah again, we have a present you
can if you want to put all the crimes out.
You know, the the number of allegations, uh, incredible allegations
of like assault against him, and it's like, yeah, that's

(41:55):
not that's cool. I don't know. It actually makes people
more likely to vote for him, or his supporter is
more likely to vote for him because they feel like
he stands for old timey caveman politics, sexual politics. Uh,
he's got Joe Namath's vote. Yeah, so, Courtney Friel responded, Donald,
I believe we're both married, and I quickly ended the call.

(42:18):
This proposition made it difficult for me to report with
a straight face on Trump running for president, and infuriated
me that he would call all the women who shared
stories of his bold advances liars. I totally believe them.
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, well yeah, this is the fucking
dimension we're in right now. Yeah. So, I mean it
does seem like literally there's nothing that could happen that

(42:40):
would make his supporters a band. I mean, yeah, he's
I mean, what we know, he's got a weird dick.
He's a sex crime Yeah, he's racist. Yeah, he's a liar.
Every time he says something racist or does something or
like it's like sexually assaulted somebody, his support like strengthens. Well,

(43:02):
I mean yeah, because I guess that really there's this
these people who still are you know, long for this
bygone era of misogyny where like that's cool or like
or they're like, I don't know, you know, I'm I
come from the school of thought where like boys will
be boys, or you know that locker room talk about. Yeah,
where in the version is you know, you know, sex

(43:23):
predators or sex predators. Yeah, you know, But however they
want to dismiss it and rationalized. I guess that's their
progative to try and rationalized or support. Is that base
of idiots? Is it? Is it small and loud or
is it as large as he wants us to believe
it is. That's like kind of my question going into
the next election, is it's it's president and to the presidency. Yeah,

(43:48):
for sure, I guess. I guess I always kind of
wonder it's enough people to get out the vote, right,
But I always wonder is this kind of the equivalent
of like an Instagram account that has like eight million followers,
but then likes, yeah, yeah, you know what I mean. Well,
I think it's one of those things where I think
a lot of people are not willing to out loud

(44:09):
express what their values are, but then a lot of
them are in line with Trump. So it only seems
like you see the very vocal people, but the numbers
don't lie and when they unless you are rigged, Yeah, no,
I think they're. Yeah, it's not just the votes that's
he's breaking all sorts of records for funding and for
raising raising money for his campaign for his reelection campaign. Yeah,

(44:33):
there's this dude. Joel Steiner wrote a book in defense
of elitism where he went to the county that had
the highest portion I think it was nine percent of
the people in that county voted for Trump. It was
in Texas. They like spent some time with the people
who lived there. It was wasn't a huge county, but
he was pointing out that when dinner was served, like

(44:57):
the men ate first and then the women ate ship. Yeah,
and he was saying like that they're time traveling. Yeah.
If you if that's like one of the things that's
built into your way of life, and then you hear that,
like there's this politically correct wave that's coming, and so
like somebody like Trump seems like they're you know, a

(45:19):
wall that's going to protect your way of life, right, um,
which yeah makes sense. I mean well, and especially for
if your values are not you know, up to speed
with where most of society is. Like that's that's like
an l people don't want to take, like just for
your own ego, like to acknowledge where you're like man,
like am i am I funk that Trump? Baby Trump?

(45:42):
I think about this. That's the farthest energy away from
maybe I should have an open mind and see the
other side. Like that will never happen. Yeah, there's a
there's a Max Planck quote that like is really bleak
but I love a lot. But it's a basically translated
was like science advances one funeral at a time, And
it's just kind of like expressing that idea that like

(46:03):
there isn't a ton of like minds that change on things.
It's more like the bigger effect is like this older
generation that is wrong and curmudgeonly and sticking to their
beliefs dies off, and hopefully their kids are the ones
that have more of a chance of kind of being
a little bit more enlightened along the way. And when

(46:24):
we're older, you know, our generation will probably be the
one that's fighting to hang on to ship plank, by
the way, just one of the all time sex symbols
of I don't know if you've seen his picture, but
I just googled him. Hell yeah, that's stash Man talk
about the plank length. I don't know any physics. Alright,

(46:48):
we're gonna take another quick break. We'll be right back,
and we're back. And so is Avatar? Uh? I just
love that as a sentence. Yeah, that's the tagline of

(47:11):
the movie. Right, Yeah, Avatar is baby. You want to
have to wait much longer relative to how long you've
had to wait already, because the first Avatar sequel is
slated for December one, Yeah, which is two years strap up.
So we're talking about this earlier. And I mean, there

(47:34):
hasn't been a three D movie that achieved the levels
of you know, full absorption and you know, just being
amazing to look at as Avatar. So is it is
it a thing where it just takes like ten years
to render all that ship and that's why nobody's done it?
And it's also why it's taking so long for the

(47:56):
sequel to come out. I mean it's probably like the
you're turn on investment, Like that's what a lot of
studios are probably think about. It's like to do it
good and probably spend like four hundred million to do
with that ship. Liddy, liddy, liddy. I think that's what
didn't The first one costs around that much avatar budget
easy to google and that budget was two thirty seven

(48:18):
million dollars um. So yeah, which that's the production budget.
So yeah, mark marketing boy m one fifty at least
what for that marketing million on top of the one?
Oh I was saying five, like total to thirty seven
plus probably you at least, so I guess we're looking

(48:39):
at what the seven there? And yet they still use
Papyrus font Yeah, hey, look you gotta cut corners. But
I mean I think, yeah, but then you look at
it's like, can we sink four d million dollars into
a film because that's just going to have to do
at least four d and one million dollars, yeah, to
make it profitable. He's pretty reliable and making things that

(49:01):
look like bad investments end up being huge money making.
I think the real credit to that film goes to
the fact that people were so fucked up over how
immersive it was. There were like I always talk about
the people who were like going to the film constantly
to be like I need to be in Pandora. Yeah,
I have to go to Pandora. I wish Pandora was real.

(49:22):
I just need to be there. I will watch a
movie every day until they take it out of my theater. Yeah.
And then there was like like cases of like depression
of people who couldn't return to Pandora and stuff like
that too. Yeah, Pandora listness based sadness. Yeah. I mean, look,
they got new concept art yea, the new concept art

(49:43):
that honestly I'm looking at it kind of shrunk down
a little bit. So maybe it looks really dope up close,
but it just looks like, uh, some screen saver ship.
Like it just looks it looks like it looks like
a really good final fantasy game. Yeah, yeah, that's what
it looks like. It looks like, say, like maybe Crash
Bandicoot might pop out from one of these floating rocks.

(50:04):
I the first movie, it's it's not a good movie.
I enjoyed it, and I think, like, it's not uh,
it's not an enjoyment on like an artistic appreciation. I
think like I took it in as this is the
biggest piece of cotton candy that humanity has ever made,
and then you can kind of like consume it that way,

(50:24):
and it's just you know, it's the sheer spectacle. There
was like there was a certain point when I had
to make that decision in my life in general of like, oh,
I think I need to start enjoying a lot more
of those like mass event like let's like loudass, black
eyed peas, fireworks, like kind of you know, spectacle type things,

(50:45):
and this is like the ultimate one of those of
just like and then you take a second, You're like, wait,
is this just about colonialism? You can't know. You have
to turn That's part of this is you have to
turn off all your historical and be like, hold on,
this is a love letter to colonials. You have to
you can't think about the images it's sending to anyone,
to children. You can't think of like what this means

(51:07):
about what we respect as a people. You have to
sit there and like laugh when the pterodactyl like flies
by and it looks like it zooms your face because
you gotta first you gottau the pterodactyl with your lung
pony and they have a magical dreadlock that fox. Yeah. Wait,
Avatar wasn't a love letter to colonialism. It was like

(51:28):
it dances with wolves like white guy. Yeah, I guess
that there was the themes of colonialism in it. Yeah.
They were clearly the mad general who's like, we're gonna
take all their resources. That guy was such a such
a like over the top villain. Yeah. I think it
was fern Gully Actually, wasn't it. It was? Yeah, the
direct rip off was fern Gully for sure. Everyone's like

(51:50):
this is firm Gully and then you start like examining, like, okay,
there's capitalism in here, there's racism, colonialism. There's a scene
where they paint with all the colors of the wind.
Was there an unnecessary dance sequence in that too? I
think there was. At some point. Didn't they go to
like like an avatar like a navy party and was

(52:11):
like lit? Yeah, I remember, because I feel like they
were playing much like bongos on my right and it
was like very supposed to be Native American type. Yeah,
it was it. It also felt yeah, like what did
they have unobtanium? That's very subtle, very very cool, very cool,
very very cool, and very legal. Um but yeah, I

(52:35):
mean the one thing, it is the closest that movies
have come to a ride. Like scors was talking about
how movies like those movies are the comic book films. Yeah,
comic book movies are all rides. I feel like that
is d that is a ride. In addition to the
fact that it's just more about the experience than anything

(52:58):
like it just didn't last in our dull memory at
all like a movie does. Movies usually like people will
use them as like touchstones to like, well, there was
nothing new about the film in terms of its storytelling
or anything. It was purely the visuals of it that
was different. Other than that, the movies trash just dissolved
like Cotton Candy from Uh heard him Jack Tesla baby

(53:31):
moving on, Laurie Laughlin. No, Uh yeah, Tesla. You know
we all doubted him, guys, we all doubted that this
man who uh you know, came from humble things, humble beginnings. Uh,
he only had handfuls of emeralds in his pockets when
he was walking around as a kid. He did not.

(53:52):
It's not like he had backpacks full of it. It
was just loose emeralds. A couple of loose emeralds in
his pockets, a big pocket. Um, but he Uh. So
they people have been shorting the Tesla stock for the
last year. It's been the most shorted stock on the
stock market. Uh. And Elon Musk said that they were

(54:15):
gonna become profitable for the first time in the third
quarter two thous and they did do that, so people
were surprised, so their stocking up a little bit, you did,
and then uh, they had another good quarter in Q
four of two thous and now their stock is up

(54:37):
percent in the last three months. So this motherfucker uh
getting it done, I guess. So yeah, whatever whatever that is. Yeah,
it's now the most valuable car company in US history
and past GMS market value, which I mean, like, you know,
because of inflation that's probably always going up and up. Whatever.

(54:58):
The current most valuable car company in the United States
is is probably the most valuable ever. But it's still
pretty impressive because it's you know, tangling with these massive
ancient companies and it is a upstart. Uh. I think
he's wasting his time. Yeah, with all this stuff. I

(55:18):
think he needs to focus on blunts blunt and how
to do them more efficiently whatever. I like, I'm what's
the Tesla blunts? He is dating an electronic music like
artists who's really good, Like she makes good electronic music.
Did you see him dance? Yeah? That was awful. That

(55:39):
was the worst thing I've ever seen. I a and
he I think he almost did. Like the Egyptian like,
how is he dating Grimes? They're still together? I think so? Like,
I think there's been rumors that they're broken up, but
then I think she, like her publicists, probably float that

(55:59):
they're broken up just because they know it's not a
good look for her. But I'm pretty sure recently I
had the same response. I was like, wait, they're not
still together? And someone's like, yeah, I feel like grime
stock has definitely been going down stock? Is that an
all time low of Tesla stock all time high? So
he's he's a total He's a total nut, no doubt.

(56:21):
But I also think who else is creating more of
a push for us to actually start driving motherfucking electric cars?
Right now. I think that is so important. Oh, I
think the technology is important, and I think but that's
where I keep it there. Yes, I think the technology
is important. Yeah, and I granted I think SpaceX is

(56:43):
now about to be the largest operator of satellites in
the world. That's why. That's where I'm almost like, hold on,
you're like a broke gass fucking what's that motherfucker from
Iron Man? Yeah, yeah, that's what he's trying to do. Yeah, yeah,
all the all the Bond villain ship is definitely scary.
I feel feel absolutely free to clown on musk. But man,

(57:03):
I would love if like Tesla's became the most popular
vehicle in the next ten years and everybody stopped using
so much gas, Like why not the second Oh man,
that's where, like everything, I think, Sony just unveiled a
concept car. It's interesting because yeah, full on Sony car, Subway,
Sony car, vine and luster and salt and pepper. That's

(57:27):
in the same shaker. What if you just wanted pepper? Yeah,
I can't be done. Impossible. Yeah, but yeah, I think
they're we're we're on our way maybe to the electric
more electric vehicles. Reed. I realized it's unpopular, realized, a
little bit of a devil's advocate thing. But I do
think like he is a necessary weirdo right now that

(57:49):
is pushing the market towards okay, people actually want like
not just hybrids, like fully electric vehicles. I think that's important. Yeah,
I think he is. I like the design end of
that truck. Come on, guys, uh No, But I I
think it's as long as we can get our mind
around the fact and he can get his mind around
the fact that he's a fucking dork like Tony Stark.

(58:12):
The most unrealistic thing about Tony Stark, other than that
he can like, you know, hack shipped together with a screwdriver,
is that he was cool and like funny and like
fun to hang around. Elon Musk is probably none of
those things, and in fact is definitely a little bit
evil based on how he treated that one uh whistleblower. Anyways,

(58:34):
I just like this story because it proves once again
that people who like traders and the people who pay
attention to the stock market, despite the fact that all
the smartest people in America go into that ship uh,
or at least the smartest greedy people, uh, they don't
know what the funk they're doing and shorting the ship

(58:56):
out of that company, and huh huh uh. Let's talk
about Lori Laughlin. Her defense is basically, ah, I didn't
do anything. It's uh, we've talked constantly. How about how
you say, I'm going to fight the case. We'll fight
the case. We'll fight the case impression. That's what I'm actually.

(59:20):
I just booked the role of Lorry Laughlin in the life. Yeah,
it's gonna be a little it's interesting, long Jew is
writing the script. How do you said, how do you
say that his name the dude who real Parasite, who
directed Parasite? Oh, I don't know. I thought I thought
that was long June ho. Yeah. Yeah, So he's gonna
was a good acceptance speech. By the way, on on

(59:41):
the Golden Globes called idiots like the second you guys
can get past the one inch barrier at the bottom
of the of like the subtitles at the bottom of
the screen. Uh, you're gonna have like a whole world
of really great movies open up to you. That's so yeah.
Well yeah, because he's like, I don't I don't know
if you've seen what your country's cranking out. There's xeroxes

(01:00:03):
of xeroxes, and meanwhile we're doing some real ship. It
is interesting that this movie has broken through as much
as it has Parasite. I think it's really like because
there's like a class thing going, like the same with
Joker and Parasite is really about class, like in a
very deep and interesting and like visceral way. And I

(01:00:24):
think also just Korean media is having a big, big
moment in the world, Like a lot of people are
very yeah being like yeah with the k pop, Like, oh,
what's up with the movie? Yeah? With this have broken
through without the k pop stands? Is there is there
snow Piercer without BTS. Yeah, without Black Pink or Pink Blacks,

(01:00:45):
the question of our times? Yeah, without losing thirty pairs
of iPods in one year like that one member. Okay,
so Lori Laughlin, we just know she was saying I
didn't know I couldn't do that, But now we're starting
to see what her actual defense is. So again, shoot her.
Their daughters, you know they were supposed to be like rowing,
they're like doing rowing. Crew shipped her into or they

(01:01:07):
just took a photo of them on rowing machines to
be there do there in the lab. Just getting fucking yoked,
all right for these regattas um and so I guess
what the defense is that those photos were never actually
submitted to USC. Therefore they weren't defrauding the university. And

(01:01:28):
also they were just saying, this guy, Rick Singer, we
just gave him five hundred thousand dollars because he said,
you know, he's like a dude. We consult with him
to get our daughters in. We didn't know that money
was going into a bribe. Give us a break, right. Also,
I mean, come on, man, USC's trash. I'll never let

(01:01:49):
this has never let that this has been brewing up.
I just don't know. Yeah, it's just an odd I mean,
I guess that's the defense though it's just very simple.
He never said was to pad someone's pockets over downtown
l A and get our kid in that way. So
did we really do anything wrong? If anything, this guy
defrauded us. Therefore innocent Lori Laughlin Massimo out. Yeah, I mean, guys,

(01:02:14):
hear me out. Lori Laughlin is doing the most to
drive the electric car marks. Despite what you say, despite criticisms,
there is a been there's a net benefit for society
with this. There was also that rumor that went around
that she had hired somebody to give her jail classes,
like to prepare for her friends. That's not true, although

(01:02:37):
that is the thing people do. Yeah, it really Oh well,
I knew I knew a dude and he hired this guy,
Kevin Hart, to braid his hair. U. The there was
a there was somebody in in the neighborhood, uh in
the valley who we all knew was about to go
to prison and legit hired a dude to like sort

(01:02:58):
of be like, look, you're a white kid who was
about to go into like actual penitentiary, like prepare yourself.
Uh and like I started lifting mad weights and stuff
and doing stuff like that. I mean it's probably different.
I'm sure Lori Laughlin would go into a different prison
and that. So that's why, like many people, I think,
we're just laughing at the idea that. Have you seen
a picture of her lately? Though she's fucking yo, she's

(01:03:19):
ripped yeah, and neck tattoo na, she's like winged. She
can't even get her arm. Sorry bro, uh Ali, it's
been a pleasure of having you many thanks for having man.
