(04:57):
favorite guests, one of our favorite humans. He just founded
the magazine Mental Fluss, ran the New York studios at
iHeart for a while, then went and started Kaleidoscope, a
very exciting podcast studio. He once again hosts the show
part time Genius. Please welcome back to the show, The brilliant,
the talented mangsh.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
I feel like I can't live up to any of that.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Sweet. That's just what. Yeah, that's a very Kermit. That's
a Kermit ass response. Oh yeah, you did you grow
up on Kermit?
Speaker 4 (05:38):
Yeah, And everyone told me I was Kermit and I
hated it for such a lot, like he's just like
a nice guy. But then I realized, like, I like
making productions and I live in total chaos as they're happening.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Very Kermit, Like, Yeah, I've seen you type before where
your arms are just flat like this, And.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
I was like, I'm a little worried about his carporal
tunnel if that's how he's typing.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
But his arms go wild when he's just when his
arms up and all over the place. Loves a road trip.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Loves a road trip. I gotta love a road trip.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Oh man, Well, it's great to have you back. We're
going to get to know you a little bit better
at a moment. First, a couple of things that we're
talking about. We're gonna take a quick look at the
dynamic that's going to get us all killed. Yes, we're
gonna look at this. Like meeting that happened with Trump
and some of his advisors to celebrate his one hundred
(06:40):
days of accomplishments of Winds and just like the yeah,
it's it's very dear leader vibes. As you put Miles
in this, it's very much like I mean.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
You see it all the time, but you're you're you
will get mother goose bumps. Okay, listening to this, it's creepy.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Now we're gonna look at one of the great genres
of American film, the presidential action movie, because they're back.
They've got one just dropped called G twenty where Viola
Davis is the US President and it's just die hard
at the G twenty. And then there's also another one
(07:23):
where John Cena plays a Republican president and it looks
like shit looks terrible, which it turns out a lot
a lot of these presidential action movies where US president's
kick ass in retrospect might have been like weird propaganda.
(07:43):
I guess I had never a writer. Jam was like,
think about if you saw a movie from Russia where
like Vladimir Putin was just beating the shit up, it
would look so silly, Toss. It would just be like,
this is the silliest propaganda. And yet I just went
to the movies and was like, Harrison Ford is cool. Yeah, right,
(08:03):
I didn't think twice about it.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Did you see that take where people are trying to
say that Indiana Jones was like free from any kind
of political commentary. Oh, real conservatives, You're like, no, they're
they're trying to project too much meaning under this. You're like,
first of all, Harrison Ford is Jewish and he's punching
out a bunch of Nazis in his movies.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
But oh, they're trying to be like it wasn't taking
a stance on Nazis exactly exactly. Oh wow, it's like
it wor all right. Yeah, so I'm just saying people
are people are given. Hey, give art your own meaning. Day.
One of the great observations about the original raders of
the Lost Ark is that if Indiana Jones had not
been there, everything would have happened almost exactly the same,
(08:45):
Like they would have gotten the arc, they would have
opened it, they would have all melted themselves. So in
many ways, he was actually trying to help the Nazis.
It was actually throw Nazi probably Ganda. I wish you
would back shit. Yeah. Anyways, all of that plenty more.
(09:05):
But first man, guests, we do like to ask our guests,
what is something from your search history that's revealing about
who you are.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
So I am working on a show called How to
Live Forever right now, which is you know, I'm just
so enamored with, like how how these billionaires are spending
all their lives like trying believing that they're gonna live
to one hundred and sixty and and but they're also
like crazy things like cats that like, you know, I
think Rick Perry's cousin is helping them live to their thirties.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
They're like cats live to their thirties.
Speaker 4 (09:38):
Yeah, with like tiny thimbles of wine, and like there's
a whole exercise course for them.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Wait, is the wine thing real, because like I always
assumed that was just wishful thinking. Is it real?
Speaker 4 (09:50):
Well for cats it is, I don't know about us
with a little bit of wine. Well wow, okay, I
mean it takes the edge off, I guess. But you know,
there are all these like things and and they're you know,
miracles of science right now, Like they're these dancing molecules
that in a lab in Northwestern they have severed mice's
(10:12):
spines to make them paraplegic and then give them this
injection and within a month they're like walking normally again,
and like like the advances in science are unbelievable. But
also there's all this like snake oil and like what
happens when like billionaires stop like giving their money to
society and taking like billionaire's pledge and just like conserving
it for you know, when they're living to two hundred
(10:33):
or whatever. But in all this research I stumbled into
like this rabbit hole on the enhanced Games. Have been
paying attention to this, like it's basically an all drug Olympics, and.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
They're doing it.
Speaker 4 (10:46):
I know that it was a one in it, but
it is that it's supposed to happen next year, and
and there's all this craziness of like trying to figure
out where is it going to be because they're like,
you know, you can, I think, dope up as much
as you want.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
For these Olympics.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
They're getting people who are like retired Olympians and like
people who've sort of like failed out of the you know,
they were like a fifth place, like swimmer or whatever,
and they're getting righted up and and other drugs obviously,
and and uh, and then they're getting these huge cash
prizes to like beat the like Michael Phelps record or
(11:23):
like you know, and and uh, it's just the whole
world is fascinating to me, like the fact that, like,
you know, the Olympics themselves are are pretty corrupt. It's
not like you know, they're there are things where like
Ben Johnson.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
And uh car Johnson Man Johnson, Yeah, I.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
Mean they took the same drugs, right, like and and
one of them is like a hero and the others
like you know this pariah and and like Carl.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Lewis took those drugs too.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
Yeah, yeah, come on, Barcelona Olympics.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
So that's been like documented since.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
No but but but but there's a documentary about it,
a lot of steroids that that talks about it.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
And Johnson just like didn't hide it as well, because
he definitely looked more on steroids than anyone I've ever seen.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
Well, I think also, I think the countries are better
at hiding it than other countries, right, Like certain doctors
are better at hiding it, and so like you know,
whether it's like Russia or China are various places. Eastern Germany,
right was very very good at hiding it and not
hiding it. But anyway, like the fact that like you one,
(12:36):
like the countries are trying to bid on whether they
can like sportswash through like an all drug Olympics is
like kind of stunning to me. And and and also
just uh, the people are invested in this because they
feel like people like Peter Thiel are invested in because
they hope that all these longevity drugs will come out
of an Olympics. And it's hard to tell, you know,
(12:58):
it's going to be like a fire festival of sport
or is it going to be like something that makes
money and becomes like you know, regularly washed on TV?
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Or are having it? Where's it located? Have an announced
yip international waters right, yeah it?
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Or we're going to see it like the first televised
like race where people are having like a heart attack
during the butterfly stroke of a swim competition and you're.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Like, oh, using air while you can literally see his
heart pumping out of his chest. I feel like it
either needs to be Vegas or Detroit in honor of RoboCop,
I'm not sure right like or like or to just
(13:44):
be like Saudi Arabia. That makes a lot of sense. Yeah,
and and it just like plays it to this whole
like weird. There's a GQ article about like everyone you
know is on steroids, you know, and it feels like
I know this. No, not Jack, I told you I'm not. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
I had to ask my mom twice. She's everyone I
know that she lifted the couch with one head. It
was crazy, but.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Got terrible back acne too, I noticed. Yeah, but it is.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
I mean this whole world of like biohacking and human augmentation,
where like people showed up two feet taller or like
six inches taller after the pandemic because they'd had those
like leg you know, Like like this whole world is
so bizarre and it's fascinating to see what'll stick.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
I have some suspicions that there was one time where, like,
so I ran into someone I hadn't seen it in
a while, and they were definitely taller than they used
to be, and I just like wouldn't because I hadn't
really thought of that as being a real thing. I
wouldn't let it rest. I'd be like, are you so damn?
It's crazy. It's like you had a goddamn Rooseburg in
(14:58):
your thirties and they yeah, man, just like stop, just
like no, I've always been this tall. I don't know
what you're talking about. Oh, bro, yeah, I had my
bones extended. You're like extension, Yeah, exactly. And you were
saying before we record, Brian Johnson is hosting that show
(15:19):
with you. That's your co host, the guy his son's boners.
So that's cool. No, that's that's Uh, that's that is
super interesting. I can't wait to have them have these games.
And they can't even get close to the real Olympian
records because they were all on steroids too. You know,
(15:43):
we'll see. What's something man Gesh. Do you think is underrated? Uh?
Speaker 4 (15:49):
I mean this is this sounds obvious or something, but
but like or maybe like it's not a good argument,
but but I feel like New York City is underrated
or do you say overrated?
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Underrated? Underrated? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (16:02):
I think I think New York City is underrated and
and I think like it's been under so much attack
from people, like like politicians talking about like the crime
or like you know, our mayor being ridiculous or like uh,
the you know, the the congestion pricing or whatever. But like,
I think what's amazing to me is that like when
I wander around New York. I just see so many
(16:24):
examples of community and and like that to me is
like really hopeful in this moment of being sort of
terrified by headlines and and and so like like my
my son is part of an Afro Cuban jazz band,
like all Cuban jazz band, and it's like dope and
they all hang out and eat Dominican chicken and like
(16:47):
you know, and and like.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
It's just like joyous.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
Or like you walk past like community gardens and and
like on my street and two different like two different blocks,
they're like people playing dominoes, and it's just like I
feel like there's so many different ways I'm part of
a co op and and and you know, like just
the fact that like I'm doing a cheese shift and
I'm hanging out with people who like our school teachers
(17:13):
or or owned restaurants or like you know, are are
aspiring actors or whatever. It's just like joyous. And I
feel like this reminder constantly that you're part of the community,
whether it's like you know, taking us away or or
or like uh, you know, walking to the bodega and
knowing my neighbors.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Like I'm just really inspired by it. You can't avoid
people as easily in New York. No, that's my main
complaint with it. They're everywhere. It's what is a cheese shift?
Did you say cheese shift? Yeah? Yeah, so that's you're
you're taking a shift at the co Op's kind of
work in the working as a cheesemonger.
Speaker 4 (17:51):
Yeah, I mean I basically working as a cheesemonger. Or
you're like like cutting like with the cheese slicer all
these like uh various like exotic cheese has to with
your kermit ass arms.
Speaker 6 (18:03):
But yeah, it's super fast, yeahed my output.
Speaker 4 (18:10):
Yeah, but I don't I mean like there's a there's
a shift where you just go take coffee to and
hand out coffee on the streets to like U to
the unhoused people around us, and and like, I don't know,
I love the co Op.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
So yeah, no, I agree. Eric Adams is getting way
too much negative press.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Podcast. Yeah, so he's a little quirky, but this is
the greatest city in America. You could have a nine
to eleven or meet a neighbor at a cheese ship,
but the co Op.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
I feel that every time I go to New York.
I love walking and just hearing every just kind of
New Yorker there is like having an argument or like
helping somebody.
Speaker 7 (18:55):
Yeah exactly, God yeah you.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
Dead as yeah exactly. But like that is truly like
in la we're just so siloed in our cars and
you have to be in a specific place with a gift,
like with your community or depending on what neighborhood you
live in, too. But yeah, there is yeah underrated, Yeah yeah, great,
hell yeah. I mean everything like gets in the gets
(19:24):
in the news for like bad stuff. Sure, Like we
don't just like have a story about, hey, here's a
cool thing that happened in New York because like a
bunch of people cared about the people. Right. Wait, you
you throw congestion pricing in as a bad in with
the like bad press. We're big fans of the idea
here of congestion pricing. What uh where are we at
(19:47):
with congestion pricing? Has it worked? What's the latest there?
Speaker 4 (19:51):
I think it's I think it's great. I mean, like
it forces the traffic out of the city and like
you know, people and they're all sorts of like you know,
if you're special needs for like handicapped drivers or road whatever,
like that that's all sort of figured out. So it's
it's it's mostly like really rich people who were complaining
about like driving within the city from like the upper
(20:13):
ear you know, yeah, the upper part of the city
in the middle part of the city area.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
Yeah, it became like a right wing talking point to
be yeah, encroaching on and it's like okay, yeah, all right,
but we I mean, like.
Speaker 4 (20:25):
I went on a family vacation like last year to
uh to Florida and or two years ago, and and
it was like people were just saying, like, oh my god,
like New York's the worst, how could you live there?
It's so unsafe, like you know, uh and and it.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Was like, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (20:41):
I met on Friday. We had a roller skating party
for my kid at like the park and it was
just like ah, and it was eight o'clock and it
was like eight thirty. It was like filled with all
these people playing basketball on table tennis and people have
different ages. There's just like people walking along the piers.
It's like, I don't know, it's not that bad.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Oh, it is a great sit man. It's back to
New York's and you do like cool stuff. I remember
just like talking to you and you were like, all right,
I'm going to go to this like art party that
we do every Tuesday with my kids where we like
just come up when I'm just like, that's so cool.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
Like, I guess, look at the way he walks. They
even walk cooler in New York.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
I mean there, that is an amazing thing?
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Is that?
Speaker 4 (21:28):
Like, like my kids both go to public school, but
there's like an amazing amount of hubris that comes from
like being in.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
New York City.
Speaker 4 (21:33):
Right, Like like my my son walked up to Hemes
from Dastrasas to at a party and he was like
trying to sell him beats and I was like, Henry,
do you make beats? It's like, I don't know, he
hasn't rapped in a long time. I feel like I
could make something for him.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
Wow. I feel like I get him back out there. Yeah,
that's great. Hey, if you can make it there, I've
heard it's pretty good. You can make it there. It's
pretty good. As they're saying, goes man, guess what's something
you think is overrated? I think mean pranks are overrated.
(22:08):
I feel like like the Shire Sanders thing like, and
I feel like I feel like there's like a whole
class of people that don't understand like that pranks can
just be like sweet or funny or like, I don't know,
there's something about pranks that really bother me, and like
and the way that people are not figuring out what
(22:31):
funny is. Like I almost feel like we need like
a prank hotline for kids to call up to like
figure out like whether their prank is is is biable
or not. That's just mean, yeah, I mean yeah, but
like like I because I read about that at the
same time I was like traveling, so I didn't read
about the like I guess when the Martin short was
(22:54):
on stage for the Saturn Night Live thing and and
he thanked everyone at the end for the credits, and
then Fred Armison came up to him and he was like,
did you mean to call Paul McCartney Tony McCartney and
like and then for like two days, like you thought
it's like just a simple prank and that's like really
(23:15):
funny versus like I was looking online, they're like kids
who've like spilled boiling water on their friend because they
thought hot water and kids in the hospital, it's like
that's not a prank. It's like, you know, I feel like, yeah, yeah,
it would be useful. So yeah, making Martin Short feel
a little bit insecure for two days is uh funny.
But yeah, like making somebody who is at like their
(23:39):
all time professional low as they like keep sliding through
the draft think they're about to get picked and then
like have that not happen isn't funny and like it's
like conceivable scenario. It's like tragedy. Like I yeah, I
can't really figure out where they were coming from other
(24:00):
than yeah, I mean there's just like cruelty as fun
as comedy.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Which right exactly, it's an extension of that. And like
the attention that kid was getting was merely because it's like, oh,
dude's what's We've just totally fucked with Shador Sanders and
that was enough to get you know, his little bit
of clout online.
Speaker 4 (24:19):
I think I think that's part of it, is like
the Times have created this like swing back to like
cruelty and comedy, and often like hack comics get to
like say it's like infringing on free speech when it's
just really bad comedy, you know, like and and so
like I think there's something in there with a it's
not fully formed, but something with like the mean pranks
(24:41):
falls into that, and I like the next generation to
be funnier.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Yeah, that would be cool if they were funny. Yeah,
it's just like before it was like punching, punching up
and then and we would tell people not to punch down,
and now just like punching is funny and yeah, yeah,
just like punching, uh little jig, sharing a punch, anything
(25:04):
that makes somebody feel a little bit worse. All right,
let's take a quick break and we'll be right back
and we're back us us Yeah, who us me? Yeh.
(25:29):
By the way, there there is a piece of information
from obviously mangsh like, you know, just a font of
fascinating information that like I'm pretending like I've gotten over
and like I've continued on with the conversation, but I have,
in fact not been able to think about anything else
that Like cats drink wine like good good for them.
(25:52):
It fits so well with cats. Yeah, these like sophisticated
little fuckers hanging around like French salons and drinking like
some red wine and their little signal chats talking about
what they're gonna do. Yeah, yeah, exactly, Anyways, I just
want to acknowledge because I'm assuming everybody who's listening it's like, wait,
(26:13):
what did cats drink fucking wine? I mean, do you
give it to them? They do and they'll live to
thirty that it sounds like the most TikTok ass ship
though too where someone' was like, dude, I gave my
cat wine and it's living till thirty now. And how
much wine, like a like a whole like a jeroboam
a night. That's that's the big ass bottle. But anyway, yes, cigarettes, Yeah,
(26:40):
two Street bottle red wine. But shout on Nikroll. Let's
talk about the people who are gonna get us killed.
They're gonna get us killed.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
Look, we talked on yesterday's show about how Trump's advisors
and cabinet officials are just constantly lying to him, and
it's becoming more and more apparent from the way Trump
talks about things where he's like, well, my people told
me that's fine, and it's actually legal, and actually the
thing that wasn't an l was actually that was a win.
All that to say is all they do is reaffirm
(27:13):
his beliefs that he is not bad at his job
or that people don't hate him, and I think seeing
this little bit of a get together that happened for
his one hundred days really underlines that. But first I
really want to talk about this one clip we saw
on the last day. He had an interview with ABC
where he really let his old man that believes Facebook
shit posts flag fly and he was asked about Kilmar
(27:35):
Abrego Garcia and how the man that is innocent and
is no way part of MS thirteen ended up in
a Salvadoran prison. Trump insists that he is bad because
he has MS thirteen tattooed on his hands, which is
a reference to a shitty photo that is clearly not
showing an actual MS thirteen tattoo, Like if it's like
(27:57):
his hand where he has like a weed leaf my
lee face across in a skull and above someone just
like in MS.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
Paint was like MS one three. That's what all these
things mean. And I think Trump basically believes that that
image is real that that over I don't anyway here
he is arguing with Terry Moran from ABC about it,
and this is just a fucking wild back and forth
because this is another one of those instances where you're
(28:25):
seeing a journalist push back against Trump and absolutely not budging.
And it just gets to the point where he's like,
what's going on? What are you? What are you doing here?
You're being not nice.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
Here's Trump and Terry Moran.
Speaker 3 (28:36):
It wasn't a member of a gang. And then they
looked and on his knuckles he had MS thir there's
wait a minute, Wait a minute, he had MS thirteen.
Speaker 8 (28:48):
He had some tattoos that are interpreted that way.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
But let's move on.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
Wait a minute.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
I will tear it Terry.
Speaker 8 (28:53):
He did not have the letter MS one.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
It says MS one three. That was photoshop. So let
me get photos.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
Terry that Hey, they're giving you the big break of
a lifetime.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
You know you're doing the interview. I picked you because, frankly.
Speaker 6 (29:06):
I never heard of you.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
But that's okay you Terry, but you're not being very nice.
He had MS thirteen.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
Tattoo, will agree to disagree.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
I want to rive on to something Elsearry, Oh my god,
do you over show you the picture?
Speaker 8 (29:18):
I saw the picture. Well, yes, he didn't have tattoos
that can be interpreted that way. I'm not an expert
on them. I want to turn to Ukraine.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
I want to get to you.
Speaker 3 (29:31):
Oh my god, he had m s as clear as
you can be, not interpreted. This is why people no
longer believe well the news because.
Speaker 9 (29:40):
When photograph and honey, this goes on, Why did he
not just let him show him the fucking picture so
he could say, yo, that is He's like that that
part is new Roman.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
It is typed on the picture.
Speaker 9 (29:55):
That's Mariel New Yes, sir, it is.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
It wasn't Sarah Times new Roman. Okay, I did not
really because yeah, people were like no, I mean he
knows that it's just that that was written on there.
He wasn't claiming that that was the actual thing. And
then he he's just like you, no, no, let me
get this exactly where day. Let me get this as
clear as I can that I'm wrong about this. Terry, Terry, honey.
(30:24):
He sounds like, you're right. You remember the Linda Honey, baby,
Linda look it, yeah, Linda, Linda, look at honey. That's
kind of what he reminds me of.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
And you know, again, I thought, because there's a photo
of him when he first had this photo in the
Oval office to justify why kill mar Brego Garcia has
disappeared like that he was holding this up, and he
posts that photo regularly to try and justify this illegal
trafficking of people, and I again like you, I was like,
I feel like he's just trying to have it both ways,
(30:56):
but clearly in this interaction he believes that what that
photo is is the genuine depiction of what his tattoos
actually are.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
And again, Trump believes this because all of the people
enacting his illegal orders have to convince Grandpa that everything
they do has some kind of real life justification even
if it doesn't. And all of like this sucking up
and lying to his face to keep him from becoming
like a seen ale toddler, well again made painfully clear
(31:25):
when his cabinet gathered to pat him on the back
for the worst first one hundred days of any presidency
in the history of Earth. But oh my god, I
can't like and then him being like, you're being very
you're not being very nice. That being just so I
mean that you just get such a clear picture of
like how this whole thing works. He's just trying to
(31:47):
ram through something that is in his mind that is
just made up by being like, you're not being very nice.
I picked you. I'm like giving you the chance of
a lifetime, like you know, a sexual harassing boss.
Speaker 4 (32:03):
And totally he also sounds so old right, like he's
like slurring. Speech feels off. It feels like like he's
making this argument, and he sounds so tired and like
he counts. It's just sprised.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
Terry, Terry commit, Terry, look at this picture. Man, don't lie.
Speaker 10 (32:20):
MS thirteen clears day, Come give me the MS thirteen picture.
Terry the kids and wins with computers. I tell him
turn off the computer. I look over the computers up
and I say, hey, you do that?
Speaker 2 (32:37):
You mean, man, I did you hear that?
Speaker 11 (32:43):
I look at you, Brego Garcia and I look at
his MS thirteen tattoos and I go.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
I look at him. I see that they look like
they're printed in a like three inches above his hands
somehow and terrible.
Speaker 11 (32:57):
If I was his tattoo artist, I'd say, why is
it placed like you did it? Yeah, it's just fucking
just so painful like that we have the senile autocrat
just like isn't even It's like it's I don't even why.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
I'm like, why aren't you better at this? You? You
suck it? Even being an autocrat. This is so fucking
not that even I want the better.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
Like that's where I'm I'm like even I'm like, y'all,
you're playing in our fucking faces with how bad and
senile you are.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
This is just so offensive. We're already in the like
Death of Stalin phase of this autocracy where it's just
like this guy is just like it behind the scenes.
He's just like making these people do like pig on
the floor or whatever the fuck that oh yeah, right
on the floor ship, Like you know, he's just back
(33:46):
there just making people humiliate themselves. It's also we wonder
where a cool sense of humor comes from. Yeah, it's it's.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
Like that mixed with like that scene that everyone memes
from the movie Downfall where all of like the furres
and roles are telling him how.
Speaker 2 (34:01):
I was thinking of that seat every day for the
past three years. That's like, truly what this cabinet is like.
It's like, dude, fuck, this guy's on meth and we
got to keep him from having a fit. And again,
so this first hundred days cabinet gathering just a total
shit show. Again, straight up, dear leader nonsense here. Attorney
(34:24):
General Pam Bondy really kicks it off with a heartfelt
thank you, mister President, and really just sets the tone
for every other cabinet official after this. So here's Terry
BONDI really again just saying God, President Trump, thank you.
Speaker 12 (34:39):
Okay, President, your first one hundred days has far exceeded
that of any other presidency in this country ever, ever,
never seen anything like it. Thank you.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
Yo. By the way, we talked on yesterday's trending about
AI that like knows how to talk to you by
mimicking how you speak. She's like, she sounds like she
is like reading from a ever speak never ever, ever
in the history of the whole country, mister President.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
It's just like ye, mister President. I mean, the way
you've turned this country around. I'm just flabbergasted. I'm wondering
myself bad.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
You did it, you know.
Speaker 5 (35:20):
And so she goes on then to say that Trump
saved two hundred and fifty eight million lives again.
Speaker 2 (35:31):
Wait, yes, just listen, she goes you hear this media dune.
Speaker 1 (35:36):
Just just follow the logic, Jack, follow the logic, baby,
Pam BONDI take it away.
Speaker 12 (35:41):
Thirty four hundred kilos a fentanyl since you've been your
last hundred days, which say are you ready for this?
You have two hundred and fifty eight million lives. Kids
are dying every day because they're taking this junk laced
with something else. They don't know what they're taking. They
think they're buying a tile in all or an out
or and ax and.
Speaker 3 (36:06):
X.
Speaker 2 (36:09):
I got I got a fucking splitting headache. Man, you
got any tile and all? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (36:12):
I got that Fen tie all bro if you mean that? Yeah,
Fenn tile and all. Wait, two hundred and fifty million
people would be like three quarters of population.
Speaker 2 (36:25):
We're three hundred million? Are we three? Three fifty? Yeah?
Or whatever? That's so again, like vegans is point about
everyone knows on steroids. It's like everyone you know was
taking fentanyl. We were all going to be dead right now. Yeah,
it weren't for this man in front of you.
Speaker 1 (36:42):
So again, this set the theme that I want to
play e p A Administrator Lee Zelden. Now, like now
the tone has been set. This is full on succession
ship now and everybody like they get called on to
give an update. Everyone starts off with some kind of
absolute solo on.
Speaker 2 (37:00):
Today is a special day for many reasons. The biggest
reason why we're here is that this is the one
hundredth day of the most consequential, historic first one hundred days.
Look at his energy country the first hundred days, mister president,
she already said that, get on with it. Okay, we
already got that ship moved along. Lee Yo, Lie's like
(37:23):
there they all seem like they're turning into the same person.
Like Lee's album looks exactly like Sean Spicer like yeah, yeah,
you know, like it's just like there's there's a certain
person that they're all turning into.
Speaker 1 (37:36):
Yeah, Chris right, it was his opportunity to to take
the stage and and tell Trump again how great he
is really bringing that energy.
Speaker 13 (37:47):
Christer President, you ran on American energy, and one hundred
days have shown the tremendous impacts that can arise from
the unleashing you have enabled that.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
Highlights you have been.
Speaker 13 (38:02):
Oil, gasoline diesel prices are the lowest they've been in years.
Speaker 1 (38:07):
Also, there's a headline today about how his policies are
actually causing a lot of uncertainty for fossil fuels right
now that they're even like uh fuck, what are we
supposed to do? So yeah, there there are endless clips.
Jd Vance had a moment, Doug Bergham had a moment.
They're all they all were just having to outdo each
(38:27):
other and like be this thing where it's like this
is this is amazing. So I mean, again, this is
just showing us that these people are basically like Truman
showing Trump like in real time and creating this like
alternate reality for him to operate in. And I'm sure
this will lead to the most rational decision making we've
ever seen.
Speaker 2 (38:46):
When people are telling.
Speaker 1 (38:47):
Me you're infallible and absolutely, I mean, we've like that.
Speaker 2 (38:51):
It's the thing with like then nine nothing Supreme Court
decision that we talked about yesterday that at first he
was like nine nothing Supreme Court decision. Yeah, that one
went for us, right, and everyone thought he was just
being like an asshole and that it turns out they
just told him. He was like, that's not what my
people told me. They told me that the nine zero
went was very good for us. It was very good
for us. Like he's just not getting the real information.
(39:13):
It's wild.
Speaker 1 (39:15):
Again, this is like what I was saying, I liken
it to your parents are out of town and you're
really old. Grandpa's watching you, and you know you can
get him to let you do wild shit if you
just kind of give enough of like a squasi realistic
explanation and he's like.
Speaker 2 (39:30):
Yeah, yeah, go ahead, I can play with.
Speaker 4 (39:32):
But there's stuff like even he can't believe it, like
he made that supposed to joke about like like being pope, right,
and then like Lindsay Graham's like, oh, you'd make a
great pope, right, like right, and the idea of like
someone something make it great hope.
Speaker 2 (39:48):
Yeah, actually that's a very good point, Lindsay. I mean,
get them on the phone, get to get the Vatican
on the phone. There's still time.
Speaker 1 (39:57):
No, but again, like it's probably it will turn into
something where Trump could even be being flippant and then.
Speaker 2 (40:02):
Someone's gonna take it serious.
Speaker 1 (40:03):
It's like I thought you wanted us to bring an
entire nuclear strike fleet off the coast of Taiwan.
Speaker 2 (40:08):
No, I oh sorry I didn't.
Speaker 1 (40:12):
Yeah, this is just again I don't know where this leads,
but it's really indicative of like a lot of these
how these other interests have really captured the White House
and now know how to manipulate and get whatever they
want done. Again, not to absolve Trump of any responsibility here.
But this is how this White House is moving, Like
people are able to get ideas into his head, get
(40:33):
him to do it, and then tell him it's okay,
and then he defends it and for him, Like I'm
sure a lot of this, many of this stuff aligns
with his worldview, but it's just freaky when you just
see how aggressive these people, like, how much, how sycophantic
this if that's even a word.
Speaker 2 (40:50):
The cabinet of sycophants do their dance. Thank you, That's
my poem for the day. Damn fucking bars.
Speaker 6 (40:57):
Yeahs do their dance.
Speaker 7 (41:01):
It's like a fans will make them dance, will make
them dance. Oh, your journal list is honest. I'm a
sick of fan. There you go. That is why, like
it does seem to have stepped up a new level.
Speaker 2 (41:16):
Like I don't know, I just having that meeting in
a packed room in front of TV cameras, and the
whole premise of the meeting just seems to be I
go around and I point to you, and you glaze
me for like three minutes in a row, and then
I point to another person and they do the same thing,
but from their department let go. Yeah, yeah, it's yeah, man.
Speaker 1 (41:42):
So that's the state of things right now as we
continue to see all kinds of nonsense come out of
the White House. But I think it's being able to
see how it all comes together. It's just instructive or
not at least helps us really see how everything is
really operating.
Speaker 2 (41:55):
There have we gotten any other reporting that's like these
people are fun terrified behind the scenes, probably not right,
Like nobody's being given access like they have to in
reality be in that position where they're like they're thinking
going into every day is like how do we keep
this lunatic on the rails?
Speaker 1 (42:16):
That's I mean, but that's all that's been the reporting
for every person who's worked with him from the beginning,
you know, And.
Speaker 2 (42:21):
I'm just wondering, like what if there's any honesty going
on at all about that within this administration.
Speaker 1 (42:28):
I mean, I think the only thing that really got
Trump to come around on like tariffs, and even not
that even came around, but at least out like softened
the rhetoric was when he saw the bond market like
taking the ship, and that's when he's like, oh I
know about that, And clearly something got to him there.
But you know, I think if enough people tell him
the same thing, he'll probably believe it. Then that's seems
(42:51):
to be the case.
Speaker 2 (42:52):
I will say, we now have two administrations in a
row with like elderly people who people who the people
around them just couldn't tell them shit, just could not
tell Joe Biden fucking anything. He was like, you know what,
whether it be Gaza or whether it be you're too
fucking old and people don't like you, like he that
(43:14):
was news to him when it finally came out, even
like and he still thinks like it was a conspiracy
to like take him down. No, is a conspiracy to
keep you in fam Yeah, I think this is. This
is a like I think we have plenty of evidence
that maybe the president that bad institution that we need
(43:35):
to take another look at. Yeah, well or at least
term limits. We'll get to that in a little bit. Yeah,
maybe twenty thirty years. So we'll take a look at that.
Let's take a quick break. Then we'll come back and
look where we got some of our ideas about the presidency.
They're all super realistic and good. We'll be right back,
(44:05):
and we're back. We're back, and there's a slight uptick
in one of the all time great movie genres, the
presidential action movie. I don't know if you guys are
fans of hey, for.
Speaker 1 (44:21):
Whatever reason, I really did not fuck with like these movies.
Speaker 2 (44:26):
Not that it's just to be like yo, I'm like
I was. I was seeing four D. I just I
just didn't get it. Like I remember when Air Force
one came out all like so many of my friends
like the fucking air Force one plane. Yeah, and for me,
I was like, yo, Harrison Ford, it moves so like
like a fragile old guy. I'm like, y'all didn't see
Patriot Games and Clear and President Danger. Bro, he's not
built for action like that. Like I get what he's doing.
(44:49):
But yeah, but look, I'm not gonna say I don't
watch him. But not for me.
Speaker 1 (44:55):
My favorite I think movie president Bill Pullman.
Speaker 2 (44:57):
In depends he was the one. So it's interesting to
like think about movie presidents and how they overlap and
like what just again, like to Jam's point, I write her,
Jam was like, think about this if it was any
other country, and like that country was making a movie
about their president just beating the ship out of all
(45:19):
the bad guys, it's it's like hilarious propaganda when you
take a step back, but because we're inside of the
context of American propaganda, people are just like Harrison, I'd
elect Harrison for my president. The Rock should run for president. Dude.
Speaker 1 (45:36):
Imagine imagine Margaret Thatcher beating the fuck out of the
Argentinians during the Falklands War.
Speaker 2 (45:42):
Dude. Oh fuck yeah.
Speaker 14 (45:44):
Dude, that would have done huge funk.
Speaker 2 (45:55):
Around and find out would be the name of that movie.
I think. Early this month, Amazon Prime released G twenty,
which is essentially Die Hard, but with the G twenty
Summit instead of an office Christmas party. It started Viola
Davis as the US President, who's like a cross between
John McLean and Kamala Harris the most brat. She's brat,
(46:19):
but she's also hungover and had enough and wearing a top,
like a ripped, bloody tank top. It's definitely like one
where they were like, we think we know which way
the election is gonna go. She's wearing a tank top.
She's wearing a tank top on the poster. Wow, Oh
they're really John mclaney this shit, yeah, because you'll never
see a president in a fucking tank top, like even though,
(46:41):
like I mean, it was like Obama hooping.
Speaker 4 (46:44):
You got your tan tak top right right, yeah, but
it was too tan.
Speaker 2 (46:49):
Yeah. She even like has a conversation with the bad
guy who is a bearded who like has a beard,
and like she's talking to him on a walkie talkie throughout,
just like Diehard. That's it is legit, Just like what
if Diehard was at the G twenty summit that Wowright?
(47:11):
Oh and it's Anthony Starr from the Boys. Okay, okay, yeah,
I don't know. I don't watch The Boys, but he looks.
Speaker 1 (47:18):
Oh really yeah, yeah, yeah, he's the he's the main.
Speaker 2 (47:21):
To hanging out too busy hanging out with the boys.
Watch the Boys, you know, he's Homelander on the Boys. Yeah.
So this one was like, we're putting our chips down
on Kamala. She's gonna win. This movie is going to
be about a right wing crypto terrorist who trying to
(47:42):
like crash the global economy to help bitcoin or some
shit that's actually in the that's on the movie's poster
help bitcoin or some shit, I don't know, help bitcoin
or some ship dude. And then Prime is also leasing
Heads of State, which will start John Cena as an
(48:04):
action star turned president, so like Arnold Schwarzenegger, if he
was born in America would have probably already been our
president by now, who like gets thrown into a real
life emergency along with British Prime Minister Idris Elba.
Speaker 1 (48:21):
I love that they're really swinging for the fences of
that one. It's like, dude, we also need like a
hot prime minister also to really make this get Idris
Elba get him in.
Speaker 2 (48:34):
Yeah, it seems like it's like a Reagan Schwarzenegger mashup,
and he's clearly a Republican because he has like a
giant red tie the whole time, which perfect timing Amazon
Prime on this one. That's what everybody wants to see.
Speaker 1 (48:47):
You think they like, do you think he was seen
as supposed to be a Democrat and then Trump went
and then Jeff Bezos like had him color correct the
tie to be drum just like just didn't get any smoke.
He's like, yeah, it was actually like inspired by you
because you're exactly like John Cena, do same hairline and everything.
Speaker 2 (49:01):
It was played by George Clooney and then they just
replaced him with John Cena using AI.
Speaker 4 (49:10):
But don't you think, Like I mean, for as much
as like this is us propaganda for like like it's
sort of I don't know who saw someone in Middle
America or something like, this type of movie is the
type of movie that could influence Trump, right, Like you
could actually be making propaganda for one if you like,
if you set this thing and then you like put
(49:31):
in an argument about like you know why you shouldn't
put hiked tariffs or whatever.
Speaker 2 (49:37):
Oh whoa, don't give his cabinet ideas. Now you would
actually need to ingrain, like encode all of the messaging
that you wanted into the fight scenes. Because as we know,
people talking about his cinema, like what he does with movies,
and like he actually has you cut out all the
(49:57):
in between parts of Van Damn movies. It's just wall
to wall the fight parts. Yeah. Yeah, that's a real
story that like he had somebody edit all of Van
Dam's movies just so it was just the fighting. Because
there's too much story. I guess.
Speaker 1 (50:18):
Someone just show him just go on YouTube and should
and look up Van Damn best fight scenes, right, showing he.
Speaker 2 (50:23):
Didn't know the computer whiz to do that for him.
Wait a second, but yeah, I don't know. It's so
I think this hit its peak in the nineties when
all the examples that we've been talking about. Bill Pullman
was obviously, you know, gives a pretty rousing speech about
(50:45):
uh Independence Day, Independence Day in Independence Day as Independence Day,
in which he cut the speech comes to the climax
with the titular words Independence Day. But he actually Bill
Pullman accused George W. Bush of copying his Independence Day
(51:07):
character by cosplaying as a fighter pilot right before he
gave his mission accomplished speech, which probably right, Like, I
mean what we know of Washington, Like they pay attention
to movie iconography, and you know, they know the power
of it.
Speaker 1 (51:23):
So yeah, and also just leaning into like he's like
and yeah, George Bush is kind of in the military,
depending on which way you look at it. So it
all looks great, It all looks great. But yeah, so
Air Force one is the big one. It's like, the
protagonist of the movie is the president. He is an
action hero. He is like somehow becomes the underdog even
(51:45):
though he's the president. The movie literally includes scenes in
which the hijacker villain reveals that the president keeps murdering
civilians with smart bombs yep, and the president is We're
just like, yeah, but he's I don't know, but that's
I'd have a beer with Harrison Ford, you know. Oh yeah,
(52:06):
very it's a very pre nine to eleven mentality where
it's like, I mean, if we're dropping bombs, it's because
it's on bad people. R right, That's that's all I
that's that's the extent of my foreign policy knowledge as
an American. If we drop bombs, it's for a good
fucking reason, Okay, and they deserved it probably, Yeah, I
mean it is funny. That scene just goes over everyone's head.
(52:26):
It's like, dude, this, why IS's he complaining about smart bombs?
Speaker 2 (52:30):
Yeah? Kick his ass? President Harrison Ford. Yeah, he's basically
complaining about like Bush George W. Bush doctrine like policies
even and like is confronted by the consequence of that
and Obama, you know, but he's a cool guy who
beats people up. So we're on board. And then presidents
(52:51):
themselves have like, in addition to w trying to pull
pull out the uh the flight suit. Yeah, I was
in the Air National Guard. Bush and Trump both used
the movie's score at events that like air Force one score.
Speaker 1 (53:11):
I wonder if he likes Air Force one enough that
like we could all run a collective sigh up on it.
Speaker 2 (53:16):
Like release the director's cut of Air Force one.
Speaker 1 (53:19):
He get, like I think they should. And it's the
most engineered thing to fuck with Trump's brain that we've
ever seen. Be like, wow, I'm gary Oldman.
Speaker 2 (53:28):
Trump has himself suggested he's a big fan of Air
Force one and loves Harrison Ford because he stood up
for America Arison Ford had to be like, so that
was a movie. But and then Jamie Fox played an
action hero Obama in white House Down. Are you guys
white House down or just down? Franchise fans?
Speaker 1 (53:49):
Oh yeah, oh yeah, down for it all down for
Jerry Butler.
Speaker 2 (53:55):
Wait that, oh yeah white House What were the other one? Whatever?
Speaker 1 (53:58):
The other downs? Or is that part of Olympus Has Fallen?
Speaker 2 (54:01):
Olympus has Fallen? White House Down?
Speaker 1 (54:05):
No, there's the Has Fallen series? Yeah, I think white
House Down is like when we thought white House Down
was Dante's Peak, that.
Speaker 2 (54:13):
Was Channing Tatum. Wow, Okay, you know, no idea, this
is movies.
Speaker 1 (54:19):
What are the two Magician films that came out at
the same time it's like that kind.
Speaker 2 (54:22):
Of the illusionist. Yeah, exactly where it's like is Olympus
has faun or a white house down describing kind of
the same thing. That's crazy. Yeah. And then I mean
they even made a JFK action movie about his like
World War two heroics while he was in office. There
(54:44):
we Go just like made an action movie was starring
the president while he was the president p T. One
oh nine And it came out like a month before
he was assassinated. Oh, it's crazy. That's why I'm glad
they came up with rotten tomatoes and fan meter. So
if you have more constructive ways of voicing your displeasure
about a film, you think that's why you think that's
(55:06):
what went down? It could be. Yeah, I mean I
know you're into the day. I mean have you have
you thought have we considered that? Yeah? We just saw
that movie and I was like, not a fan. You know what,
I'm gonna do something about it. He had some rotten
tomatoes next to him and a rifle.
Speaker 4 (55:24):
Have you heard about that Jackie Kennedy movie that she made,
That home movie of Kennedy being like a spy or
like it's like she directed it at their house and
it's just like a little home movie. But he's like
play acting being a spy. No, it's like the home
action movie. I guess wow.
Speaker 2 (55:44):
There. I am fascinated by the way. Now it is
like the one president that I feel like does have
a backstory that is like he did something that's like
straight up in action, like what he did in World
War Two. Was staged his.
Speaker 1 (55:57):
Own murder in the Amateurs spy movie.
Speaker 4 (56:00):
It's not crazy. It was like it was like a
month before or something.
Speaker 2 (56:05):
There was all sorts of shit. I mean the day
of he was like, look, if somebody, look Jackie, if
somebody wants to shoot me from a hotel balcony, that
like it's going to happen. Like he was like he
knew what could happen, and was just like, huh, you
know what I mean. Whatever, They're like, we don't really
love this for you right now. That's like open top
(56:29):
driving through a city that is like wildly blood thirsty
for you. Like they took out a full page ad
calling you like an enemy of the people, and he
was like, you know, what are you gonna do? Right?
And it's all about art, It's all about the eye.
That's right, and then the Secret Service were too hungover
(56:53):
to argue with him, So all right, man, this fucking guy. Whatever. Anyways,
I can't wait to see these new movies. So I
know who to vote for next time.
Speaker 1 (57:05):
Yeah, yeah, exactly, I'm voting for Viola Davis.
Speaker 2 (57:11):

Speaker 2 (57:48):
Yeah, do they have anything? Do they say anything about cigarettes?
We're still that one. It's back.
Speaker 1 (57:55):
I'm telling you it's back. Beyonce brought smoking back. I'm
telling her telling you the Cowboy Carter Tour. I smoke
a cigarette after there you go, you need to after
Beyonce show. Is there a work of media that you've
been enjoying?
Speaker 4 (58:08):
Yeah, there's a there's like a little phone game called
three hundred and sixty eight Chickens, and it's like super
addictive and you're just trying to line up chickens and
like it, every time you line them off, it like
takes off two chickens or three chickens of a kind
or whatever. And it's kind of hard to beat. But
once you beat it and you freed all the chickens,
(58:30):
it locks you out of the game and you can
never play it again.
Speaker 2 (58:33):
And I just think that is amazing.
Speaker 6 (58:37):
That's amazing. Wow, it different very short period. Yeah, that's
so wild.

Speaker 2 (59:30):
How you doing man be okay, okay, all right, ma'am,
No man, we need like Ocean's one hundred. Basically, I
will say that conversation completely hijacked the episode. Yesterday I realized, like, wait,
this show could be mostly about that debate for a
couple months in a way that people couldn't believe.
Speaker 1 (59:48):
It's like, dude, every day they debate the one hundred
men versus gorilla thing.

not subjecting you to that violence. But yeah, that's trailing
close to its mother's teeth as it is ripped asunder. Wow,
(01:01):
which fun is that?
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Is it just the idea about the kids disappearing that
freaks you out, or that the kids get real bad
and spooky when they disappear.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Hey, man, all of it. I'm just all of it.
I don't like any of it.
Speaker 1 (01:15):

Speaker 4 (05:23):
I feel like I can't live up to any of that.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Sweet. That's just what. Yeah, that's a very Kermit. That's
a Kermit ass response. Oh yeah, you did you grow
up on Kermit?
Speaker 4 (05:38):
Yeah, And everyone told me I was Kermit and I
hated it for such a lot, like he's just like
a nice guy. But then I realized, like, I like
making productions and I live in total chaos as they're happening.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Very Kermit, Like, Yeah, I've seen you type before where
your arms are just flat like this, And.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
I was like, I'm a little worried about his carporal
tunnel if that's how he's typing.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
But his arms go wild when he's just when his
arms up and all over the place. Loves a road trip.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Loves a road trip. I gotta love a road trip.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Oh man, Well, it's great to have you back. We're
going to get to know you a little bit better
at a moment. First, a couple of things that we're
talking about. We're gonna take a quick look at the
dynamic that's going to get us all killed. Yes, we're
gonna look at this. Like meeting that happened with Trump
and some of his advisors to celebrate his one hundred
(06:40):
days of accomplishments of Winds and just like the yeah,
it's it's very dear leader vibes. As you put Miles
in this, it's very much like I mean.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
You see it all the time, but you're you're you
will get mother goose bumps. Okay, listening to this, it's creepy.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Now we're gonna look at one of the great genres
of American film, the presidential action movie, because they're back.
They've got one just dropped called G twenty where Viola
Davis is the US President and it's just die hard
at the G twenty. And then there's also another one
(07:23):
where John Cena plays a Republican president and it looks
like shit looks terrible, which it turns out a lot
a lot of these presidential action movies where US president's
kick ass in retrospect might have been like weird propaganda.
(07:43):
I guess I had never a writer. Jam was like,
think about if you saw a movie from Russia where
like Vladimir Putin was just beating the shit up, it
would look so silly, Toss. It would just be like,
this is the silliest propaganda. And yet I just went
to the movies and was like, Harrison Ford is cool. Yeah, right,
(08:03):
I didn't think twice about it.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Did you see that take where people are trying to
say that Indiana Jones was like free from any kind
of political commentary. Oh, real conservatives, You're like, no, they're
they're trying to project too much meaning under this. You're like,
first of all, Harrison Ford is Jewish and he's punching
out a bunch of Nazis in his movies.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
But oh, they're trying to be like it wasn't taking
a stance on Nazis exactly exactly. Oh wow, it's like
it wor all right. Yeah, so I'm just saying people
are people are given. Hey, give art your own meaning. Day.
One of the great observations about the original raders of
the Lost Ark is that if Indiana Jones had not
been there, everything would have happened almost exactly the same,
(08:45):
Like they would have gotten the arc, they would have
opened it, they would have all melted themselves. So in
many ways, he was actually trying to help the Nazis.
It was actually throw Nazi probably Ganda. I wish you
would back shit. Yeah. Anyways, all of that plenty more.
(09:05):
But first man, guests, we do like to ask our guests,
what is something from your search history that's revealing about
who you are.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
So I am working on a show called How to
Live Forever right now, which is you know, I'm just
so enamored with, like how how these billionaires are spending
all their lives like trying believing that they're gonna live
to one hundred and sixty and and but they're also
like crazy things like cats that like, you know, I
think Rick Perry's cousin is helping them live to their thirties.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
They're like cats live to their thirties.
Speaker 4 (09:38):
Yeah, with like tiny thimbles of wine, and like there's
a whole exercise course for them.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Wait, is the wine thing real, because like I always
assumed that was just wishful thinking. Is it real?
Speaker 4 (09:50):
Well for cats it is, I don't know about us
with a little bit of wine. Well wow, okay, I
mean it takes the edge off, I guess. But you know,
there are all these like things and and they're you know,
miracles of science right now, Like they're these dancing molecules
that in a lab in Northwestern they have severed mice's
(10:12):
spines to make them paraplegic and then give them this
injection and within a month they're like walking normally again,
and like like the advances in science are unbelievable. But
also there's all this like snake oil and like what
happens when like billionaires stop like giving their money to
society and taking like billionaire's pledge and just like conserving
it for you know, when they're living to two hundred
(10:33):
or whatever. But in all this research I stumbled into
like this rabbit hole on the enhanced Games. Have been
paying attention to this, like it's basically an all drug Olympics, and.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
They're doing it.
Speaker 4 (10:46):
I know that it was a one in it, but
it is that it's supposed to happen next year, and
and there's all this craziness of like trying to figure
out where is it going to be because they're like,
you know, you can, I think, dope up as much
as you want.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
For these Olympics.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
They're getting people who are like retired Olympians and like
people who've sort of like failed out of the you know,
they were like a fifth place, like swimmer or whatever,
and they're getting righted up and and other drugs obviously,
and and uh, and then they're getting these huge cash
prizes to like beat the like Michael Phelps record or
(11:23):
like you know, and and uh, it's just the whole
world is fascinating to me, like the fact that, like,
you know, the Olympics themselves are are pretty corrupt. It's
not like you know, they're there are things where like
Ben Johnson.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
And uh car Johnson Man Johnson, Yeah, I.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
Mean they took the same drugs, right, like and and
one of them is like a hero and the others
like you know this pariah and and like Carl.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Lewis took those drugs too.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
Yeah, yeah, come on, Barcelona Olympics.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
So that's been like documented since.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
No but but but but there's a documentary about it,
a lot of steroids that that talks about it.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
And Johnson just like didn't hide it as well, because
he definitely looked more on steroids than anyone I've ever seen.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
Well, I think also, I think the countries are better
at hiding it than other countries, right, Like certain doctors
are better at hiding it, and so like you know,
whether it's like Russia or China are various places. Eastern Germany,
right was very very good at hiding it and not
hiding it. But anyway, like the fact that like you one,
(12:36):
like the countries are trying to bid on whether they
can like sportswash through like an all drug Olympics is
like kind of stunning to me. And and and also
just uh, the people are invested in this because they
feel like people like Peter Thiel are invested in because
they hope that all these longevity drugs will come out
of an Olympics. And it's hard to tell, you know,
(12:58):
it's going to be like a fire festival of sport
or is it going to be like something that makes
money and becomes like you know, regularly washed on TV?
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Or are having it? Where's it located? Have an announced
yip international waters right, yeah it?
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Or we're going to see it like the first televised
like race where people are having like a heart attack
during the butterfly stroke of a swim competition and you're.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Like, oh, using air while you can literally see his
heart pumping out of his chest. I feel like it
either needs to be Vegas or Detroit in honor of RoboCop,
I'm not sure right like or like or to just
(13:44):
be like Saudi Arabia. That makes a lot of sense. Yeah,
and and it just like plays it to this whole
like weird. There's a GQ article about like everyone you
know is on steroids, you know, and it feels like
I know this. No, not Jack, I told you I'm not. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
I had to ask my mom twice. She's everyone I
know that she lifted the couch with one head. It
was crazy, but.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Got terrible back acne too, I noticed. Yeah, but it is.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
I mean this whole world of like biohacking and human augmentation,
where like people showed up two feet taller or like
six inches taller after the pandemic because they'd had those
like leg you know, Like like this whole world is
so bizarre and it's fascinating to see what'll stick.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
I have some suspicions that there was one time where, like,
so I ran into someone I hadn't seen it in
a while, and they were definitely taller than they used
to be, and I just like wouldn't because I hadn't
really thought of that as being a real thing. I
wouldn't let it rest. I'd be like, are you so damn?
It's crazy. It's like you had a goddamn Rooseburg in
(14:58):
your thirties and they yeah, man, just like stop, just
like no, I've always been this tall. I don't know
what you're talking about. Oh, bro, yeah, I had my
bones extended. You're like extension, Yeah, exactly. And you were
saying before we record, Brian Johnson is hosting that show
(15:19):
with you. That's your co host, the guy his son's boners.
So that's cool. No, that's that's Uh, that's that is
super interesting. I can't wait to have them have these games.
And they can't even get close to the real Olympian
records because they were all on steroids too. You know,
(15:43):
we'll see. What's something man Gesh. Do you think is underrated? Uh?
Speaker 4 (15:49):
I mean this is this sounds obvious or something, but
but like or maybe like it's not a good argument,
but but I feel like New York City is underrated
or do you say overrated?
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Underrated? Underrated? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (16:02):
I think I think New York City is underrated and
and I think like it's been under so much attack
from people, like like politicians talking about like the crime
or like you know, our mayor being ridiculous or like uh,
the you know, the the congestion pricing or whatever. But like,
I think what's amazing to me is that like when
I wander around New York. I just see so many
(16:24):
examples of community and and like that to me is
like really hopeful in this moment of being sort of
terrified by headlines and and and so like like my
my son is part of an Afro Cuban jazz band,
like all Cuban jazz band, and it's like dope and
they all hang out and eat Dominican chicken and like
(16:47):
you know, and and like.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
It's just like joyous.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
Or like you walk past like community gardens and and
like on my street and two different like two different blocks,
they're like people playing dominoes, and it's just like I
feel like there's so many different ways I'm part of
a co op and and and you know, like just
the fact that like I'm doing a cheese shift and
I'm hanging out with people who like our school teachers
(17:13):
or or owned restaurants or like you know, are are
aspiring actors or whatever. It's just like joyous. And I
feel like this reminder constantly that you're part of the community,
whether it's like you know, taking us away or or
or like uh, you know, walking to the bodega and
knowing my neighbors.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Like I'm just really inspired by it. You can't avoid
people as easily in New York. No, that's my main
complaint with it. They're everywhere. It's what is a cheese shift?
Did you say cheese shift? Yeah? Yeah, so that's you're
you're taking a shift at the co Op's kind of
work in the working as a cheesemonger.
Speaker 4 (17:51):
Yeah, I mean I basically working as a cheesemonger. Or
you're like like cutting like with the cheese slicer all
these like uh various like exotic cheese has to with
your kermit ass arms.
Speaker 6 (18:03):
But yeah, it's super fast, yeahed my output.
Speaker 4 (18:10):
Yeah, but I don't I mean like there's a there's
a shift where you just go take coffee to and
hand out coffee on the streets to like U to
the unhoused people around us, and and like, I don't know,
I love the co Op.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
So yeah, no, I agree. Eric Adams is getting way
too much negative press.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Podcast. Yeah, so he's a little quirky, but this is
the greatest city in America. You could have a nine
to eleven or meet a neighbor at a cheese ship,
but the co Op.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
I feel that every time I go to New York.
I love walking and just hearing every just kind of
New Yorker there is like having an argument or like
helping somebody.
Speaker 7 (18:55):
Yeah exactly, God yeah you.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
Dead as yeah exactly. But like that is truly like
in la we're just so siloed in our cars and
you have to be in a specific place with a gift,
like with your community or depending on what neighborhood you
live in, too. But yeah, there is yeah underrated, Yeah yeah, great,
hell yeah. I mean everything like gets in the gets
(19:24):
in the news for like bad stuff. Sure, Like we
don't just like have a story about, hey, here's a
cool thing that happened in New York because like a
bunch of people cared about the people. Right. Wait, you
you throw congestion pricing in as a bad in with
the like bad press. We're big fans of the idea
here of congestion pricing. What uh where are we at
(19:47):
with congestion pricing? Has it worked? What's the latest there?
Speaker 4 (19:51):
I think it's I think it's great. I mean, like
it forces the traffic out of the city and like
you know, people and they're all sorts of like you know,
if you're special needs for like handicapped drivers or road whatever,
like that that's all sort of figured out. So it's
it's it's mostly like really rich people who were complaining
about like driving within the city from like the upper
(20:13):
ear you know, yeah, the upper part of the city
in the middle part of the city area.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
Yeah, it became like a right wing talking point to
be yeah, encroaching on and it's like okay, yeah, all right,
but we I mean, like.
Speaker 4 (20:25):
I went on a family vacation like last year to
uh to Florida and or two years ago, and and
it was like people were just saying, like, oh my god,
like New York's the worst, how could you live there?
It's so unsafe, like you know, uh and and it.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Was like, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (20:41):
I met on Friday. We had a roller skating party
for my kid at like the park and it was
just like ah, and it was eight o'clock and it
was like eight thirty. It was like filled with all
these people playing basketball on table tennis and people have
different ages. There's just like people walking along the piers.
It's like, I don't know, it's not that bad.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Oh, it is a great sit man. It's back to
New York's and you do like cool stuff. I remember
just like talking to you and you were like, all right,
I'm going to go to this like art party that
we do every Tuesday with my kids where we like
just come up when I'm just like, that's so cool.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
Like, I guess, look at the way he walks. They
even walk cooler in New York.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
I mean there, that is an amazing thing?
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Is that?
Speaker 4 (21:28):
Like, like my kids both go to public school, but
there's like an amazing amount of hubris that comes from
like being in.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
New York City.
Speaker 4 (21:33):
Right, Like like my my son walked up to Hemes
from Dastrasas to at a party and he was like
trying to sell him beats and I was like, Henry,
do you make beats? It's like, I don't know, he
hasn't rapped in a long time. I feel like I
could make something for him.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
Wow. I feel like I get him back out there. Yeah,
that's great. Hey, if you can make it there, I've
heard it's pretty good. You can make it there. It's
pretty good. As they're saying, goes man, guess what's something
you think is overrated? I think mean pranks are overrated.
(22:08):
I feel like like the Shire Sanders thing like, and
I feel like I feel like there's like a whole
class of people that don't understand like that pranks can
just be like sweet or funny or like, I don't know,
there's something about pranks that really bother me, and like
and the way that people are not figuring out what
(22:31):
funny is. Like I almost feel like we need like
a prank hotline for kids to call up to like
figure out like whether their prank is is is biable
or not. That's just mean, yeah, I mean yeah, but
like like I because I read about that at the
same time I was like traveling, so I didn't read
about the like I guess when the Martin short was
(22:54):
on stage for the Saturn Night Live thing and and
he thanked everyone at the end for the credits, and
then Fred Armison came up to him and he was like,
did you mean to call Paul McCartney Tony McCartney and
like and then for like two days, like you thought
it's like just a simple prank and that's like really
(23:15):
funny versus like I was looking online, they're like kids
who've like spilled boiling water on their friend because they
thought hot water and kids in the hospital, it's like
that's not a prank. It's like, you know, I feel like, yeah, yeah,
it would be useful. So yeah, making Martin Short feel
a little bit insecure for two days is uh funny.
But yeah, like making somebody who is at like their
(23:39):
all time professional low as they like keep sliding through
the draft think they're about to get picked and then
like have that not happen isn't funny and like it's
like conceivable scenario. It's like tragedy. Like I yeah, I
can't really figure out where they were coming from other
(24:00):
than yeah, I mean there's just like cruelty as fun
as comedy.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Which right exactly, it's an extension of that. And like
the attention that kid was getting was merely because it's like, oh,
dude's what's We've just totally fucked with Shador Sanders and
that was enough to get you know, his little bit
of clout online.
Speaker 4 (24:19):
I think I think that's part of it, is like
the Times have created this like swing back to like
cruelty and comedy, and often like hack comics get to
like say it's like infringing on free speech when it's
just really bad comedy, you know, like and and so
like I think there's something in there with a it's
not fully formed, but something with like the mean pranks
(24:41):
falls into that, and I like the next generation to
be funnier.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Yeah, that would be cool if they were funny. Yeah,
it's just like before it was like punching, punching up
and then and we would tell people not to punch down,
and now just like punching is funny and yeah, yeah,
just like punching, uh little jig, sharing a punch, anything
(25:04):
that makes somebody feel a little bit worse. All right,
let's take a quick break and we'll be right back
and we're back us us Yeah, who us me? Yeh.
(25:29):
By the way, there there is a piece of information
from obviously mangsh like, you know, just a font of
fascinating information that like I'm pretending like I've gotten over
and like I've continued on with the conversation, but I have,
in fact not been able to think about anything else
that Like cats drink wine like good good for them.
(25:52):
It fits so well with cats. Yeah, these like sophisticated
little fuckers hanging around like French salons and drinking like
some red wine and their little signal chats talking about
what they're gonna do. Yeah, yeah, exactly, Anyways, I just
want to acknowledge because I'm assuming everybody who's listening it's like, wait,
(26:13):
what did cats drink fucking wine? I mean, do you
give it to them? They do and they'll live to
thirty that it sounds like the most TikTok ass ship
though too where someone' was like, dude, I gave my
cat wine and it's living till thirty now. And how
much wine, like a like a whole like a jeroboam
a night. That's that's the big ass bottle. But anyway, yes, cigarettes, Yeah,
(26:40):
two Street bottle red wine. But shout on Nikroll. Let's
talk about the people who are gonna get us killed.
They're gonna get us killed.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
Look, we talked on yesterday's show about how Trump's advisors
and cabinet officials are just constantly lying to him, and
it's becoming more and more apparent from the way Trump
talks about things where he's like, well, my people told
me that's fine, and it's actually legal, and actually the
thing that wasn't an l was actually that was a win.
All that to say is all they do is reaffirm
(27:13):
his beliefs that he is not bad at his job
or that people don't hate him, and I think seeing
this little bit of a get together that happened for
his one hundred days really underlines that. But first I
really want to talk about this one clip we saw
on the last day. He had an interview with ABC
where he really let his old man that believes Facebook
shit posts flag fly and he was asked about Kilmar
(27:35):
Abrego Garcia and how the man that is innocent and
is no way part of MS thirteen ended up in
a Salvadoran prison. Trump insists that he is bad because
he has MS thirteen tattooed on his hands, which is
a reference to a shitty photo that is clearly not
showing an actual MS thirteen tattoo, Like if it's like
(27:57):
his hand where he has like a weed leaf my
lee face across in a skull and above someone just
like in MS.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
Paint was like MS one three. That's what all these
things mean. And I think Trump basically believes that that
image is real that that over I don't anyway here
he is arguing with Terry Moran from ABC about it,
and this is just a fucking wild back and forth
because this is another one of those instances where you're
(28:25):
seeing a journalist push back against Trump and absolutely not budging.
And it just gets to the point where he's like,
what's going on? What are you? What are you doing here?
You're being not nice.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
Here's Trump and Terry Moran.
Speaker 3 (28:36):
It wasn't a member of a gang. And then they
looked and on his knuckles he had MS thir there's
wait a minute, Wait a minute, he had MS thirteen.
Speaker 8 (28:48):
He had some tattoos that are interpreted that way.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
But let's move on.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
Wait a minute.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
I will tear it Terry.
Speaker 8 (28:53):
He did not have the letter MS one.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
It says MS one three. That was photoshop. So let
me get photos.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
Terry that Hey, they're giving you the big break of
a lifetime.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
You know you're doing the interview. I picked you because, frankly.
Speaker 6 (29:06):
I never heard of you.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
But that's okay you Terry, but you're not being very nice.
He had MS thirteen.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
Tattoo, will agree to disagree.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
I want to rive on to something Elsearry, Oh my god,
do you over show you the picture?
Speaker 8 (29:18):
I saw the picture. Well, yes, he didn't have tattoos
that can be interpreted that way. I'm not an expert
on them. I want to turn to Ukraine.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
I want to get to you.
Speaker 3 (29:31):
Oh my god, he had m s as clear as
you can be, not interpreted. This is why people no
longer believe well the news because.
Speaker 9 (29:40):
When photograph and honey, this goes on, Why did he
not just let him show him the fucking picture so
he could say, yo, that is He's like that that
part is new Roman.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
It is typed on the picture.
Speaker 9 (29:55):
That's Mariel New Yes, sir, it is.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
It wasn't Sarah Times new Roman. Okay, I did not
really because yeah, people were like no, I mean he
knows that it's just that that was written on there.
He wasn't claiming that that was the actual thing. And
then he he's just like you, no, no, let me
get this exactly where day. Let me get this as
clear as I can that I'm wrong about this. Terry, Terry, honey.
(30:24):
He sounds like, you're right. You remember the Linda Honey, baby,
Linda look it, yeah, Linda, Linda, look at honey. That's
kind of what he reminds me of.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
And you know, again, I thought, because there's a photo
of him when he first had this photo in the
Oval office to justify why kill mar Brego Garcia has
disappeared like that he was holding this up, and he
posts that photo regularly to try and justify this illegal
trafficking of people, and I again like you, I was like,
I feel like he's just trying to have it both ways,
(30:56):
but clearly in this interaction he believes that what that
photo is is the genuine depiction of what his tattoos
actually are.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
And again, Trump believes this because all of the people
enacting his illegal orders have to convince Grandpa that everything
they do has some kind of real life justification even
if it doesn't. And all of like this sucking up
and lying to his face to keep him from becoming
like a seen ale toddler, well again made painfully clear
(31:25):
when his cabinet gathered to pat him on the back
for the worst first one hundred days of any presidency
in the history of Earth. But oh my god, I
can't like and then him being like, you're being very
you're not being very nice. That being just so I
mean that you just get such a clear picture of
like how this whole thing works. He's just trying to
(31:47):
ram through something that is in his mind that is
just made up by being like, you're not being very nice.
I picked you. I'm like giving you the chance of
a lifetime, like you know, a sexual harassing boss.
Speaker 4 (32:03):
And totally he also sounds so old right, like he's
like slurring. Speech feels off. It feels like like he's
making this argument, and he sounds so tired and like
he counts. It's just sprised.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
Terry, Terry commit, Terry, look at this picture. Man, don't lie.
Speaker 10 (32:20):
MS thirteen clears day, Come give me the MS thirteen picture.
Terry the kids and wins with computers. I tell him
turn off the computer. I look over the computers up
and I say, hey, you do that?
Speaker 2 (32:37):
You mean, man, I did you hear that?
Speaker 11 (32:43):
I look at you, Brego Garcia and I look at
his MS thirteen tattoos and I go.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
I look at him. I see that they look like
they're printed in a like three inches above his hands
somehow and terrible.
Speaker 11 (32:57):
If I was his tattoo artist, I'd say, why is
it placed like you did it? Yeah, it's just fucking
just so painful like that we have the senile autocrat
just like isn't even It's like it's I don't even why.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
I'm like, why aren't you better at this? You? You
suck it? Even being an autocrat. This is so fucking
not that even I want the better.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
Like that's where I'm I'm like even I'm like, y'all,
you're playing in our fucking faces with how bad and
senile you are.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
This is just so offensive. We're already in the like
Death of Stalin phase of this autocracy where it's just
like this guy is just like it behind the scenes.
He's just like making these people do like pig on
the floor or whatever the fuck that oh yeah, right
on the floor ship, Like you know, he's just back
(33:46):
there just making people humiliate themselves. It's also we wonder
where a cool sense of humor comes from. Yeah, it's it's.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
Like that mixed with like that scene that everyone memes
from the movie Downfall where all of like the furres
and roles are telling him how.
Speaker 2 (34:01):
I was thinking of that seat every day for the
past three years. That's like, truly what this cabinet is like.
It's like, dude, fuck, this guy's on meth and we
got to keep him from having a fit. And again,
so this first hundred days cabinet gathering just a total
shit show. Again, straight up, dear leader nonsense here. Attorney
(34:24):
General Pam Bondy really kicks it off with a heartfelt
thank you, mister President, and really just sets the tone
for every other cabinet official after this. So here's Terry
BONDI really again just saying God, President Trump, thank you.
Speaker 12 (34:39):
Okay, President, your first one hundred days has far exceeded
that of any other presidency in this country ever, ever,
never seen anything like it. Thank you.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
Yo. By the way, we talked on yesterday's trending about
AI that like knows how to talk to you by
mimicking how you speak. She's like, she sounds like she
is like reading from a ever speak never ever, ever
in the history of the whole country, mister President.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
It's just like ye, mister President. I mean, the way
you've turned this country around. I'm just flabbergasted. I'm wondering
myself bad.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
You did it, you know.
Speaker 5 (35:20):
And so she goes on then to say that Trump
saved two hundred and fifty eight million lives again.
Speaker 2 (35:31):
Wait, yes, just listen, she goes you hear this media dune.
Speaker 1 (35:36):
Just just follow the logic, Jack, follow the logic, baby,
Pam BONDI take it away.
Speaker 12 (35:41):
Thirty four hundred kilos a fentanyl since you've been your
last hundred days, which say are you ready for this?
You have two hundred and fifty eight million lives. Kids
are dying every day because they're taking this junk laced
with something else. They don't know what they're taking. They
think they're buying a tile in all or an out
or and ax and.
Speaker 3 (36:06):
X.
Speaker 2 (36:09):
I got I got a fucking splitting headache. Man, you
got any tile and all? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (36:12):
I got that Fen tie all bro if you mean that? Yeah,
Fenn tile and all. Wait, two hundred and fifty million
people would be like three quarters of population.
Speaker 2 (36:25):
We're three hundred million? Are we three? Three fifty? Yeah?
Or whatever? That's so again, like vegans is point about
everyone knows on steroids. It's like everyone you know was
taking fentanyl. We were all going to be dead right now. Yeah,
it weren't for this man in front of you.
Speaker 1 (36:42):
So again, this set the theme that I want to
play e p A Administrator Lee Zelden. Now, like now
the tone has been set. This is full on succession
ship now and everybody like they get called on to
give an update. Everyone starts off with some kind of
absolute solo on.
Speaker 2 (37:00):
Today is a special day for many reasons. The biggest
reason why we're here is that this is the one
hundredth day of the most consequential, historic first one hundred days.
Look at his energy country the first hundred days, mister president,
she already said that, get on with it. Okay, we
already got that ship moved along. Lee Yo, Lie's like
(37:23):
there they all seem like they're turning into the same person.
Like Lee's album looks exactly like Sean Spicer like yeah, yeah,
you know, like it's just like there's there's a certain
person that they're all turning into.
Speaker 1 (37:36):
Yeah, Chris right, it was his opportunity to to take
the stage and and tell Trump again how great he
is really bringing that energy.
Speaker 13 (37:47):
Christer President, you ran on American energy, and one hundred
days have shown the tremendous impacts that can arise from
the unleashing you have enabled that.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
Highlights you have been.
Speaker 13 (38:02):
Oil, gasoline diesel prices are the lowest they've been in years.
Speaker 1 (38:07):
Also, there's a headline today about how his policies are
actually causing a lot of uncertainty for fossil fuels right
now that they're even like uh fuck, what are we
supposed to do? So yeah, there there are endless clips.
Jd Vance had a moment, Doug Bergham had a moment.
They're all they all were just having to outdo each
(38:27):
other and like be this thing where it's like this
is this is amazing. So I mean, again, this is
just showing us that these people are basically like Truman
showing Trump like in real time and creating this like
alternate reality for him to operate in. And I'm sure
this will lead to the most rational decision making we've
ever seen.
Speaker 2 (38:46):
When people are telling.
Speaker 1 (38:47):
Me you're infallible and absolutely, I mean, we've like that.
Speaker 2 (38:51):
It's the thing with like then nine nothing Supreme Court
decision that we talked about yesterday that at first he
was like nine nothing Supreme Court decision. Yeah, that one
went for us, right, and everyone thought he was just
being like an asshole and that it turns out they
just told him. He was like, that's not what my
people told me. They told me that the nine zero
went was very good for us. It was very good
for us. Like he's just not getting the real information.
(39:13):
It's wild.
Speaker 1 (39:15):
Again, this is like what I was saying, I liken
it to your parents are out of town and you're
really old. Grandpa's watching you, and you know you can
get him to let you do wild shit if you
just kind of give enough of like a squasi realistic
explanation and he's like.
Speaker 2 (39:30):
Yeah, yeah, go ahead, I can play with.
Speaker 4 (39:32):
But there's stuff like even he can't believe it, like
he made that supposed to joke about like like being pope, right,
and then like Lindsay Graham's like, oh, you'd make a
great pope, right, like right, and the idea of like
someone something make it great hope.
Speaker 2 (39:48):
Yeah, actually that's a very good point, Lindsay. I mean,
get them on the phone, get to get the Vatican
on the phone. There's still time.
Speaker 1 (39:57):
No, but again, like it's probably it will turn into
something where Trump could even be being flippant and then.
Speaker 2 (40:02):
Someone's gonna take it serious.
Speaker 1 (40:03):
It's like I thought you wanted us to bring an
entire nuclear strike fleet off the coast of Taiwan.
Speaker 2 (40:08):
No, I oh sorry I didn't.
Speaker 1 (40:12):
Yeah, this is just again I don't know where this leads,
but it's really indicative of like a lot of these
how these other interests have really captured the White House
and now know how to manipulate and get whatever they
want done. Again, not to absolve Trump of any responsibility here.
But this is how this White House is moving, Like
people are able to get ideas into his head, get
(40:33):
him to do it, and then tell him it's okay,
and then he defends it and for him, Like I'm
sure a lot of this, many of this stuff aligns
with his worldview, but it's just freaky when you just
see how aggressive these people, like, how much, how sycophantic
this if that's even a word.
Speaker 2 (40:50):
The cabinet of sycophants do their dance. Thank you, That's
my poem for the day. Damn fucking bars.
Speaker 6 (40:57):
Yeahs do their dance.
Speaker 7 (41:01):
It's like a fans will make them dance, will make
them dance. Oh, your journal list is honest. I'm a
sick of fan. There you go. That is why, like
it does seem to have stepped up a new level.
Speaker 2 (41:16):
Like I don't know, I just having that meeting in
a packed room in front of TV cameras, and the
whole premise of the meeting just seems to be I
go around and I point to you, and you glaze
me for like three minutes in a row, and then
I point to another person and they do the same thing,
but from their department let go. Yeah, yeah, it's yeah, man.
Speaker 1 (41:42):
So that's the state of things right now as we
continue to see all kinds of nonsense come out of
the White House. But I think it's being able to
see how it all comes together. It's just instructive or
not at least helps us really see how everything is
really operating.
Speaker 2 (41:55):
There have we gotten any other reporting that's like these
people are fun terrified behind the scenes, probably not right,
Like nobody's being given access like they have to in
reality be in that position where they're like they're thinking
going into every day is like how do we keep
this lunatic on the rails?
Speaker 1 (42:16):
That's I mean, but that's all that's been the reporting
for every person who's worked with him from the beginning,
you know, And.
Speaker 2 (42:21):
I'm just wondering, like what if there's any honesty going
on at all about that within this administration.
Speaker 1 (42:28):
I mean, I think the only thing that really got
Trump to come around on like tariffs, and even not
that even came around, but at least out like softened
the rhetoric was when he saw the bond market like
taking the ship, and that's when he's like, oh I
know about that, And clearly something got to him there.
But you know, I think if enough people tell him
the same thing, he'll probably believe it. Then that's seems
(42:51):
to be the case.
Speaker 2 (42:52):
I will say, we now have two administrations in a
row with like elderly people who people who the people
around them just couldn't tell them shit, just could not
tell Joe Biden fucking anything. He was like, you know what,
whether it be Gaza or whether it be you're too
fucking old and people don't like you, like he that
(43:14):
was news to him when it finally came out, even
like and he still thinks like it was a conspiracy
to like take him down. No, is a conspiracy to
keep you in fam Yeah, I think this is. This
is a like I think we have plenty of evidence
that maybe the president that bad institution that we need
(43:35):
to take another look at. Yeah, well or at least
term limits. We'll get to that in a little bit. Yeah,
maybe twenty thirty years. So we'll take a look at that.
Let's take a quick break. Then we'll come back and
look where we got some of our ideas about the presidency.
They're all super realistic and good. We'll be right back,
(44:05):
and we're back. We're back, and there's a slight uptick
in one of the all time great movie genres, the
presidential action movie. I don't know if you guys are
fans of hey, for.
Speaker 1 (44:21):
Whatever reason, I really did not fuck with like these movies.
Speaker 2 (44:26):
Not that it's just to be like yo, I'm like
I was. I was seeing four D. I just I
just didn't get it. Like I remember when Air Force
one came out all like so many of my friends
like the fucking air Force one plane. Yeah, and for me,
I was like, yo, Harrison Ford, it moves so like
like a fragile old guy. I'm like, y'all didn't see
Patriot Games and Clear and President Danger. Bro, he's not
built for action like that. Like I get what he's doing.
(44:49):
But yeah, but look, I'm not gonna say I don't
watch him. But not for me.
Speaker 1 (44:55):
My favorite I think movie president Bill Pullman.
Speaker 2 (44:57):
In depends he was the one. So it's interesting to
like think about movie presidents and how they overlap and
like what just again, like to Jam's point, I write her,
Jam was like, think about this if it was any
other country, and like that country was making a movie
about their president just beating the ship out of all
(45:19):
the bad guys, it's it's like hilarious propaganda when you
take a step back, but because we're inside of the
context of American propaganda, people are just like Harrison, I'd
elect Harrison for my president. The Rock should run for president. Dude.
Speaker 1 (45:36):
Imagine imagine Margaret Thatcher beating the fuck out of the
Argentinians during the Falklands War.
Speaker 2 (45:42):
Dude. Oh fuck yeah.
Speaker 14 (45:44):
Dude, that would have done huge funk.
Speaker 2 (45:55):
Around and find out would be the name of that movie.
I think. Early this month, Amazon Prime released G twenty,
which is essentially Die Hard, but with the G twenty
Summit instead of an office Christmas party. It started Viola
Davis as the US President, who's like a cross between
John McLean and Kamala Harris the most brat. She's brat,
(46:19):
but she's also hungover and had enough and wearing a top,
like a ripped, bloody tank top. It's definitely like one
where they were like, we think we know which way
the election is gonna go. She's wearing a tank top.
She's wearing a tank top on the poster. Wow, Oh
they're really John mclaney this shit, yeah, because you'll never
see a president in a fucking tank top, like even though,
(46:41):
like I mean, it was like Obama hooping.
Speaker 4 (46:44):
You got your tan tak top right right, yeah, but
it was too tan.
Speaker 2 (46:49):
Yeah. She even like has a conversation with the bad
guy who is a bearded who like has a beard,
and like she's talking to him on a walkie talkie throughout,
just like Diehard. That's it is legit, Just like what
if Diehard was at the G twenty summit that Wowright?
(47:11):
Oh and it's Anthony Starr from the Boys. Okay, okay, yeah,
I don't know. I don't watch The Boys, but he looks.
Speaker 1 (47:18):
Oh really yeah, yeah, yeah, he's the he's the main.
Speaker 2 (47:21):
To hanging out too busy hanging out with the boys.
Watch the Boys, you know, he's Homelander on the Boys. Yeah.
So this one was like, we're putting our chips down
on Kamala. She's gonna win. This movie is going to
be about a right wing crypto terrorist who trying to
(47:42):
like crash the global economy to help bitcoin or some
shit that's actually in the that's on the movie's poster
help bitcoin or some shit, I don't know, help bitcoin
or some ship dude. And then Prime is also leasing
Heads of State, which will start John Cena as an
(48:04):
action star turned president, so like Arnold Schwarzenegger, if he
was born in America would have probably already been our
president by now, who like gets thrown into a real
life emergency along with British Prime Minister Idris Elba.
Speaker 1 (48:21):
I love that they're really swinging for the fences of
that one. It's like, dude, we also need like a
hot prime minister also to really make this get Idris
Elba get him in.
Speaker 2 (48:34):
Yeah, it seems like it's like a Reagan Schwarzenegger mashup,
and he's clearly a Republican because he has like a
giant red tie the whole time, which perfect timing Amazon
Prime on this one. That's what everybody wants to see.
Speaker 1 (48:47):
You think they like, do you think he was seen
as supposed to be a Democrat and then Trump went
and then Jeff Bezos like had him color correct the
tie to be drum just like just didn't get any smoke.
He's like, yeah, it was actually like inspired by you
because you're exactly like John Cena, do same hairline and everything.
Speaker 2 (49:01):
It was played by George Clooney and then they just
replaced him with John Cena using AI.
Speaker 4 (49:10):
But don't you think, Like I mean, for as much
as like this is us propaganda for like like it's
sort of I don't know who saw someone in Middle
America or something like, this type of movie is the
type of movie that could influence Trump, right, Like you
could actually be making propaganda for one if you like,
if you set this thing and then you like put
(49:31):
in an argument about like you know why you shouldn't
put hiked tariffs or whatever.
Speaker 2 (49:37):
Oh whoa, don't give his cabinet ideas. Now you would
actually need to ingrain, like encode all of the messaging
that you wanted into the fight scenes. Because as we know,
people talking about his cinema, like what he does with movies,
and like he actually has you cut out all the
(49:57):
in between parts of Van Damn movies. It's just wall
to wall the fight parts. Yeah. Yeah, that's a real
story that like he had somebody edit all of Van
Dam's movies just so it was just the fighting. Because
there's too much story. I guess.
Speaker 1 (50:18):
Someone just show him just go on YouTube and should
and look up Van Damn best fight scenes, right, showing he.
Speaker 2 (50:23):
Didn't know the computer whiz to do that for him.
Wait a second, but yeah, I don't know. It's so
I think this hit its peak in the nineties when
all the examples that we've been talking about. Bill Pullman
was obviously, you know, gives a pretty rousing speech about
(50:45):
uh Independence Day, Independence Day in Independence Day as Independence Day,
in which he cut the speech comes to the climax
with the titular words Independence Day. But he actually Bill
Pullman accused George W. Bush of copying his Independence Day
(51:07):
character by cosplaying as a fighter pilot right before he
gave his mission accomplished speech, which probably right, Like, I
mean what we know of Washington, Like they pay attention
to movie iconography, and you know, they know the power
of it.
Speaker 1 (51:23):
So yeah, and also just leaning into like he's like
and yeah, George Bush is kind of in the military,
depending on which way you look at it. So it
all looks great, It all looks great. But yeah, so
Air Force one is the big one. It's like, the
protagonist of the movie is the president. He is an
action hero. He is like somehow becomes the underdog even
(51:45):
though he's the president. The movie literally includes scenes in
which the hijacker villain reveals that the president keeps murdering
civilians with smart bombs yep, and the president is We're
just like, yeah, but he's I don't know, but that's
I'd have a beer with Harrison Ford, you know. Oh yeah,
(52:06):
very it's a very pre nine to eleven mentality where
it's like, I mean, if we're dropping bombs, it's because
it's on bad people. R right, That's that's all I
that's that's the extent of my foreign policy knowledge as
an American. If we drop bombs, it's for a good
fucking reason, Okay, and they deserved it probably, Yeah, I
mean it is funny. That scene just goes over everyone's head.
(52:26):
It's like, dude, this, why IS's he complaining about smart bombs?
Speaker 2 (52:30):
Yeah? Kick his ass? President Harrison Ford. Yeah, he's basically
complaining about like Bush George W. Bush doctrine like policies
even and like is confronted by the consequence of that
and Obama, you know, but he's a cool guy who
beats people up. So we're on board. And then presidents
(52:51):
themselves have like, in addition to w trying to pull
pull out the uh the flight suit. Yeah, I was
in the Air National Guard. Bush and Trump both used
the movie's score at events that like air Force one score.
Speaker 1 (53:11):
I wonder if he likes Air Force one enough that
like we could all run a collective sigh up on it.
Speaker 2 (53:16):
Like release the director's cut of Air Force one.
Speaker 1 (53:19):
He get, like I think they should. And it's the
most engineered thing to fuck with Trump's brain that we've
ever seen. Be like, wow, I'm gary Oldman.
Speaker 2 (53:28):
Trump has himself suggested he's a big fan of Air
Force one and loves Harrison Ford because he stood up
for America Arison Ford had to be like, so that
was a movie. But and then Jamie Fox played an
action hero Obama in white House Down. Are you guys
white House down or just down? Franchise fans?
Speaker 1 (53:49):
Oh yeah, oh yeah, down for it all down for
Jerry Butler.
Speaker 2 (53:55):
Wait that, oh yeah white House What were the other one? Whatever?
Speaker 1 (53:58):
The other downs? Or is that part of Olympus Has Fallen?
Speaker 2 (54:01):
Olympus has Fallen? White House Down?
Speaker 1 (54:05):
No, there's the Has Fallen series? Yeah, I think white
House Down is like when we thought white House Down
was Dante's Peak, that.
Speaker 2 (54:13):
Was Channing Tatum. Wow, Okay, you know, no idea, this
is movies.
Speaker 1 (54:19):
What are the two Magician films that came out at
the same time it's like that kind.
Speaker 2 (54:22):
Of the illusionist. Yeah, exactly where it's like is Olympus
has faun or a white house down describing kind of
the same thing. That's crazy. Yeah. And then I mean
they even made a JFK action movie about his like
World War two heroics while he was in office. There
(54:44):
we Go just like made an action movie was starring
the president while he was the president p T. One
oh nine And it came out like a month before
he was assassinated. Oh, it's crazy. That's why I'm glad
they came up with rotten tomatoes and fan meter. So
if you have more constructive ways of voicing your displeasure
about a film, you think that's why you think that's
(55:06):
what went down? It could be. Yeah, I mean I
know you're into the day. I mean have you have
you thought have we considered that? Yeah? We just saw
that movie and I was like, not a fan. You know what,
I'm gonna do something about it. He had some rotten
tomatoes next to him and a rifle.
Speaker 4 (55:24):
Have you heard about that Jackie Kennedy movie that she made,
That home movie of Kennedy being like a spy or
like it's like she directed it at their house and
it's just like a little home movie. But he's like
play acting being a spy. No, it's like the home
action movie. I guess wow.
Speaker 2 (55:44):
There. I am fascinated by the way. Now it is
like the one president that I feel like does have
a backstory that is like he did something that's like
straight up in action, like what he did in World
War Two. Was staged his.
Speaker 1 (55:57):
Own murder in the Amateurs spy movie.
Speaker 4 (56:00):
It's not crazy. It was like it was like a
month before or something.
Speaker 2 (56:05):
There was all sorts of shit. I mean the day
of he was like, look, if somebody, look Jackie, if
somebody wants to shoot me from a hotel balcony, that
like it's going to happen. Like he was like he
knew what could happen, and was just like, huh, you
know what I mean. Whatever, They're like, we don't really
love this for you right now. That's like open top
(56:29):
driving through a city that is like wildly blood thirsty
for you. Like they took out a full page ad
calling you like an enemy of the people, and he
was like, you know, what are you gonna do? Right?
And it's all about art, It's all about the eye.
That's right, and then the Secret Service were too hungover
(56:53):
to argue with him, So all right, man, this fucking guy. Whatever. Anyways,
I can't wait to see these new movies. So I
know who to vote for next time.
Speaker 1 (57:05):
Yeah, yeah, exactly, I'm voting for Viola Davis.

a cigarette after there you go, you need to after
Beyonce show. Is there a work of media that you've
been enjoying?
Speaker 4 (58:08):
Yeah, there's a there's like a little phone game called
three hundred and sixty eight Chickens, and it's like super
addictive and you're just trying to line up chickens and
like it, every time you line them off, it like
takes off two chickens or three chickens of a kind
or whatever. And it's kind of hard to beat. But
once you beat it and you freed all the chickens,
(58:30):
it locks you out of the game and you can
never play it again.
Speaker 2 (58:33):
And I just think that is amazing.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
