that yesterday and know what was it? Aspiring snitch? Yeah,
I've been a waiting. Yeah, you're on the snitch wait list.
That's how bad I want to do it. That's like
the most just saying that ship out loud. He just

would say when they're like, I'm actually a volunteer deputy,
Like yeah, when people say ship like that, I'm like,
shut up, you snitch. You wait this snitch it's the
worst type. Like what's the worst type of person that
we can imagine? And volunteer cop? Yeah, volunteer, Oh you're
it's not this not even a job, no, no, but

(00:49):
I it gives I have enough proximity to police that
it allows me to act out my macho guy fantasies.
Also the most likely to be a serial killer. Yeah,
I feel like so many videos I've seen, we're like
people impersonate cops. They are deputy cops, and they feel
that they get can get away with it when they're like, actually,
I actually volunteer with the sheriff station over there and

I trust somebody who's out there with banana pudding with

(02:31):
Nila wafers. I don't care if it's hot. No, there
was just there's this lady in Altadina who would have
I'm not joking, banana pudding so fucking indulgent and like
sweet that I would start seeing streaks of light. It

song on Friday. We'll plug that more specifically in a minute.

enough to keep a mole like me interested. Oh no,

I just want to say, before I introduced this guest,
we all know what happens. You're playing thirty with propaganda. Well,
guess what we're playing clean with propaganda because coming to
the mic is mister Jason bend yourself propaganda.

Speaker 4 (06:42):
Oh guys, can I collect offering propaganda? The all Star
Chuck Taylor rom saying six cooks, the visious Alixa, the

Speaker 5 (07:03):
Wow, you said the bee boy. You're a Panoy b boy,

(07:23):
Then they got you.

Speaker 4 (07:24):

Speaker 1 (07:29):
And I know, hey, give it to I'm eating it all,
the chocolate meat everything. I want it all. That's not
a reference, that's not like, that's like a thing that's
a Filipino dish that I'm I wasn't trying to say
something about.

Speaker 4 (07:39):
No, no, no, yeah, yeah, I want it all. I want
to I want the dinner gane. That's called.

Speaker 1 (07:45):
Yeah you want the gan And my friend was like, yeah,
we called the chocolate meat. I'm like yeah, yeah, let's
have it. I trust you. I trust you. Yeah, Google
on your own what it is. Is it true that
playing dirty with propaganda blow up on you?

Speaker 4 (07:59):
It's true, man, and I am absolutely absolutely sampling that.

Speaker 1 (08:05):
It just hasn't happened. We've been and I'm not trying to.
I'm not trying to, you know, put you on blast here,
but I feel like you've been saying this since we
were texting when six sixteen in La dropped and we
were all on that text thread and you.

Speaker 4 (08:19):
Like you didn't there, and I'm like, it's right there,
he's saying, sitting right there, I have not. In my defense,
I am not a beat maker. I haven't done it.
And then secondly I'm like, how do I use it?

Speaker 1 (08:32):
How do I use it?

Speaker 4 (08:33):
And then I'm like maybe at the time, yeah, like
it's overwhelming, Yeah, so much happening.

Speaker 1 (08:40):
Yeah yeah, like maybe it's not the time. You know, Well,
I'm focused on how to use songs that are so
similar to one of the most historic rap battles and
just taking it for my own use.

Speaker 4 (08:49):
And yeah, it would be like we'd have time for
you prop you know, he's not talking about you propaganda.

Speaker 1 (08:56):
Well, you know, I don't know that. We don't put
that out there. That's like what I would as a
kid seeing my seeing the word Miles written places, and
I was like, oh, it's look, I was fucking I
was doing the Leonardo DiCaprio Once upon a time in
Hollywood right here, I come. Yeah, that's your name, just
a noun. Yeah that's all I took. Yeah, that's all
I signed my last name. Baby. Where are we talking

(09:19):
about fucking Filipino food? Probably? Yes, you should check into
our new podcast where we talk about Filipino cuisine coming soon.
We will be asking that later in the show. That
was just the light preview where I mispronouncings and prop
with Penoise. Yeah. I was trying to do a Miles
and jack joke there. Yeah, yeah, no, no, that's fine,

(09:42):
it's fine.

Speaker 4 (09:42):
I couldn't get it out. You were supposed to catch
up and say, gay eat the Penois. You're supposed to
do the look.

Speaker 1 (09:47):
We're still working on it. We're working on it. We
don't get we're working with Luca and Jackson Hayes quite yet.
But here's the thing, we are going to get to
know you even better. Prop in a second, just giving
people taste the things to come. So obviously tariffs are
front of mine. I'm talking, I'm like writing this piece
talking about everything that's happening with Tariff's. Next thing, you know,
Trump does the most trump ass shit ever, which is

(10:10):
the pump he's pump faking with the tariffs, and he
announces a ninety day pause because I'm sure everybody was
getting in his ass about you're fucking my money up, Donald.
So we'll touch on that because I think what is
happening is still relevant because either way, we are seeing major,
major fissures, cracks within the MAGA sort of consortium of

(10:32):
freaks and just their acolytes they are. Here's the thing
about America. We don't learn lessons until it affects us personally.
That's the thing. Some of us do.

Speaker 3 (10:44):
Four hundred more years exactly exactly change, yeah, Ben, double dah.

Speaker 4 (10:49):
And then that group, that group that learned that lesson
dies and all of the knowledge that they learned.

Speaker 1 (10:55):
Is gone, is gone, and by a worst group. Yeah right.
Unless you have enough history of oppression in your background,
maybe that gives you enough suspicion about what's going on,
and you try and protect yourself. But for the most
part not really happening these days. Either way, still relevant
because things are still falling apart. Despite I think people
are like the markets went back up, it's not recovered

(11:17):
from what happened, and either way, that does not excuse
anything that has happened, or is happening or will happen.
So stop, let's let's take our eyes on. Let's put
our eyes on the real fucking thing, which is that
we are still in the state of terrible, terrible danger.
We might talk about a terrible American Airlines flight, but
we're really gonna have to talk about the Hershey movie

(11:37):
because we are gonna get a little bit you know,
we have somebody from cool zone here. I might have
to get on my Robert Evans back and do a
light behind the bastards about the Hershey's because the Hershey
Chocolate Bar movie is coming out, and yo, they are
what the fuck?

Speaker 3 (11:52):
I have no idea I had a Choco character was insane.

Speaker 1 (11:59):
Chocolate meat wad. Yeah, yeah, it was all welcome mashup.
But we'll get to that plenty more. But first, propaganda props. Yes,
what's something from your search history that's revealing about who
you are, what you're into.

Speaker 4 (12:11):
Man, Well, I've been like searching search engines because I
was like, I just I mean, I don't know if
you guys know, like Google's like falling off. Man, It's
kind of like Kanye level fall off, like what are y'all?

Speaker 1 (12:26):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (12:26):
No, replete with the white supremacy and exactly like why
why is y'all? And I was and I so I
had to google search engines because I was actually looking
for like I'm well into my like my like unk phase,
like like I'm turning into theo prop like you know
when dudes get our age, they start doing like jiu jitsu.

Speaker 1 (12:47):
I was like, nah, wait, my knees are set up.
I'm good.

Speaker 4 (12:51):
I don't want to golf. Golf cost too much, but
I'll start building some shit. So like I was like,
what do we have a lot of in it? What
do we buy every week? And I'm like, onions, don't
they just come out the ground.

Speaker 1 (13:05):
So I was like, let me learn. I want to mask.

Speaker 4 (13:09):
So I built a raised garden. Like you know, I
took I took some pallets. I took some pallets, some
like empty pallets from my daughter's school. Took it apart,
and I built a raised garden, and I like, you know,
here's the thing. I growing up, I didn't own a
drill till I was in my thirties. But like, growing up,
I didn't own a There was no drills in our house.

(13:32):
My dad didn't have a screwdriver. My dad is a
city boy. Like I didn't know how to do anything.
So I was like, I don't know what a drill is.
I was like, how you get it through? What's what
the difference between a saws all and a regular saw?
And if you saw, like, I don't know, another of
shit circular? I was like, does it cut in a circle?
Like what is any of this shit? So, like all
of it was learning, But now I'm like, now I'm

(13:56):
like somebody's uncle. Just come like, pay me in coronas
and I'll build your fence.

Speaker 1 (14:00):
How are the onions are closer? We just seeing some
onion ACKs. Oh they're ready, They're almost ready. They're like
about it one more month, they were like, And what
was so stupid?

Speaker 4 (14:08):
It was like me and me and the doc my wife,
we were both like, okay, this is the the first
trick Earth learned to do was take stuff, turn it
into a soil, and then grow food out. It was
the first trick, and we're still like, oh shit, oh
my god, it's working.

Speaker 1 (14:28):
Do you see it leads babe babe maying ship from
earlier and come check it out, Come check it out.

Speaker 4 (14:33):
I was like, remember, I was like, Yo, this bell
pepper had all them seeds on the inside.

Speaker 1 (14:39):
I just put it in the dirt. Right now it's
got leaves. What the like.

Speaker 4 (14:45):
We're both like, oh my god, like, yeah, Earth, this
is the first thing Earth learned to do.

Speaker 3 (14:51):
We're going to drive by props place. There's gonna be
a full aqueduct like surround. It's going to be building
all this stuff.

Speaker 4 (14:57):
Farmers market out front, you know, man, the farmers market.

Speaker 1 (15:01):
It's funny. The the what I've been going to. It's
interesting to see they they were charging twenty dollars for
three packs of strawberries, and I was like, that's costly.
And every subsect week it's been going down because I
think they were sort of like I think we got
a little too much dip on our chip right now.
I don't know, and these things are sitting so I

(15:22):
like that. People at the farmer's market, I think we're
probably like, hey, maybe not twenty dollars for yeah, Rice,
But I also get it too. You know these are
these are these are made with very few like fucked
up pesticides, and I guess that's just the premium anyway.
Shout out to everybody with the local garden. Shoutout onions.
Probably something you think is underrated. Shout out on Yep,
got a shot out onions. I mean they've under enhanced

(15:44):
most things.

Speaker 4 (15:45):
Yeah, uh, probably it's gonna be a weird one. But
the dentist, okay, was that under or over? That's under
a tune out with Miles talks right under?

Speaker 1 (15:55):
Yeah, it's an hour. I think it's underrated. Motherfucker.

Speaker 4 (16:02):
I had this moment where I was like, I think
you'd be scared if you had a bad dentist, or
because you're still regressing to your childhood.

Speaker 1 (16:11):
But then I thought to myself, I'm just laying here.

Speaker 4 (16:15):
It's almost like a like a massage, like a spots
a massage for my mouth. I'm laying here and two
professionals are leaning over me, cleaning shit I ate out
of my mouth for me, And I was like, this

(16:36):
is kind of like and then if I get pain,
I get to say, hey, that hurt a little, and
then they get to just I was like, this is
kind of like a luxury since obviously it's not like
I clearly when I think of like people be like,
what era, what other era of time and history would
you want to live in, I'm like, none of them

(16:57):
because of dentistry and medicine. I'm like, ain't no way
in the world I want to live in any other time.
You're telling me what my tooth was like rotten. You
just grab some vice grips, yeah, yeah, yeah, pull it out,
yeah yo, Because the thing is your tooth has turned black,
dude of Satan, and now evil is getting and let
go and we will have to remove it.

Speaker 1 (17:17):
You're like, what, You're just gonna pull it?

Speaker 4 (17:19):
You mean to tell me if I get a little
cut on my arm and cut the whole thing off.

Speaker 1 (17:23):
You just cut the arm off?

Speaker 4 (17:24):
Yeah, yo, yo, drink this whiskey and bite this piece
of wood and I'm gonna saw your arm off now.

Speaker 1 (17:29):
So they're like, hey, weren't you just looking through a
pile of horseshit behind the right now? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (17:34):
I thought I lost my wedding ring. Anyway, I'm ready
to do surgery. I don't have to wash my hands right, Yeah, totally.
I was like, why would I? Yeah, why would I?
This already has blood on it. Why would I dirty
another one? I already have open sores all over my body.
Why are you asking me about this one sword? Yeah, like,
you don't see this one coming.

Speaker 1 (17:50):
I'm gonna mess you up if my sword touches your
open wound while I'm doing surgery. If anything, I should
worry about me getting my sword back on wild blood.

Speaker 4 (17:59):
I have sore, I got sore cleaning juice coming out
of my sores, so it could actually help you.

Speaker 1 (18:04):
Yeah. Nah, I don't want to leave nowhere else.

Speaker 4 (18:07):
So I'm saying that as somebody who's like the dentistry
even the sound of that drill that it's not even
as loud anymore.

Speaker 1 (18:14):
I'm like, this is great. Put a silence.

Speaker 4 (18:17):
Yeah, they're like, yeah, just over the years.

Speaker 1 (18:24):
I remember first in the eighties, like the because there's
always some form of entertainment the eighties is here, hold
this cassette player and put these headphones on. Yeah. I
was like the first version of I'm at the dentist
and I'm listening to like mc hammer or some shit.

Speaker 2 (18:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (18:39):
Then TVs came in and then TVs above the seat
so when you're laying down you could see it. You
can see that shit now, Like it's funny. Last time
I went in there, like do you want to watch them,
I'm like, nah, I kind of like hearing y'all talk
about like whatever, because then it's funny. They have conversations
while they're doing stuff and like yeah, and I'm like
this is cool. Yeah, I feel like I'm gonna for

(19:00):
you a lot, because yeah, they got me hooked up
to machines. Yeah. Team, you have a whole team. Yeah yeah, yeah, Nah.

Speaker 4 (19:07):
It's me and this little homie that like so speaking
of Filipino, it's this Filipino lady who like we always
like I always sees her back and forth through just
talking Filipino stuff. And then this little homie that really
like is almost like like a like a Schneidly kind
of like yes, whatever you need. Like he's so like
quick and cute, like he just wants to help. So

(19:29):
whenever she's drilling, he sticked the thing in the mouth
to suck up the water.

Speaker 1 (19:33):
He like Johnny on the Spot, Yeah, just.

Speaker 4 (19:35):
Johnny on the Spot just like sucked all the spit
there and I'm like, oh, thank you, And then I'm like,
you are your job is to suck up my spit. Yeah,
this is a luxury. This is just thinking about this
all wrong and people talking. Look, I know America and
Canada are and a beef. You know, obviously the beef

(19:56):
is one sided in that it's one person with a beef,
not us with Canada. But you know, famously they say
up there, it's like we have yeah, we got socialized medicine,
but no dental, no mental.

Speaker 1 (20:05):
You know what I mean. Because it's a luxury. Baby,
it's a luxury. It's a luxury. It's a luxury to
have teeth that affect your whole body. You don't realize
how much that you know, how you eat it.

Speaker 4 (20:18):
It is bizarre that, like you're that dentists, your dental
coverage is separate from your health coverage. It's still weird.
They're like, my mouthing a part of my body. Like
what same thing with visions?

Speaker 1 (20:30):
Yeah? And your eyes. Yeah, they're like, I don't know,
having think problems in my eyes can lead to other
problems if I'm not aware of my Okay, uh, yeah.

Speaker 4 (20:39):
You have health care, Yeah, you have health care, but
we don't cover pinky fingers. Yeah, you got to get
a whole other doctor for your pink Oh oh.

Speaker 1 (20:46):
Yeah, we only do we only do neck down doctor
stuff down neck up. I don't even know who does
that kind of ship, to be honest, you might have
to look on the internet for that. But the one
thing I do like about the dentist is and I
think the reason why I like weighted blankets was that
led they put on you. And you have central extra. Yes,
that's when I put the When I put the weighted
blanket on, I flashed back and I'm like, this is

(21:07):
my favorite part of the dentist for some reason, even
though like, man, we're gonna take an extra because I
think you got cavities, little kid, And I'm like, just
put the big ass mat on me.

Speaker 4 (21:15):
And I'm like, yeah, perfectly sake. They put lead on
you and then run out of the.

Speaker 1 (21:19):
Red put this lead, matt. Hey, I'm gonna bounce to
the office next door while I hit this button and looking.

Speaker 3 (21:27):
Yeah, send like one of those bomb dismantling robots.

Speaker 1 (21:33):
Worry about it. I'm eight years old. This kid gotta
this will be fine, This will be fine. Yeah, kid,
you're gonna need a really good neck up doctor after this,
just so you know, uh.

Speaker 4 (21:43):
Problem me think is overrated. Oh man, hands down. Owning
your own business.

Speaker 1 (21:49):
Interesting? God damn yeah.

Speaker 4 (21:52):
I like famously. I've been here plugging my coffee, my
terrible call brew man. Fuck owning a business because like, like,
you have to do it all. I yes, I was like,
I like coffee and I like making coffee products. What
I don't like is Q three reports. What I don't

(22:13):
like is supply chains what you're saying. What I don't
like is having to like say, hey, I have a
business that's making that's gonna make money, but I ain't
got no money, so can you give me money so
that I could go make some money? And then but
in exchange of giving me money, I gotta give you
my business? Why the hell am I here?

Speaker 1 (22:33):
Then? I don't want to do this. I thought I
could just set this thing up. I thought giving money.
I thought it was like selling merch.

Speaker 4 (22:44):
I swear to God, I like I honestly, I obviously
I come from music. I was like, yeah, no, you
perform and then you go to the merch booth and
people buy T shirts.

Speaker 1 (22:57):
You training for money, Yeah, and you just give me
money because you like what I just did.

Speaker 4 (23:02):
Right, So I thought, here's a product I sell merch
all the time, so like, won't you buy them? I
get it, I get cogs. It makes more sense, you know,
we just sell it for more than you bought it.
It's simple, you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (23:19):
I understand that.

Speaker 4 (23:21):
So I'm like, well, I bought if it is, so
I'm gonna sell it for that. Okay, you guys wanna
buy it?

Speaker 1 (23:24):
Hello.

Speaker 3 (23:25):
It's the same thing I do a set. I go
to the merch table, people walk by say I like
the opener more, and then they walk out and don't
buy it. It's the same exactly I would I would imagine.
Is it like similar to own it? Because I don't
own a house or really anything, but like owning people
say when they buy property or buy their home, it's
all this bullshit comes with it of like, now you're

(23:47):
responsible for fixing you know, the fucking leak in the roof.
You're responsible, You're probably Yeah.

Speaker 1 (23:53):
I think the complexity of owning a business is so different,
like like, well, saw, I don't know either, bro, I
got a rebbel pile though, look.

Speaker 4 (24:03):
Stupid man, listen, No, I mean I could speak to
the I could speak to the house.

Speaker 1 (24:08):
Thing we scored like I get I like quick story.

Speaker 4 (24:12):
Uh in the pandemic, the people that owned the house
that we rented that we live in now pandemic hit
He was like a costume designer in like you know,
Hollywood pandemication. Was like, we're cutting our ties. We're going
back to Wisconsin. Do you want to buy the house?
We were like, uh, yes, And then a week later,

(24:33):
land a book deal, got a publishing deal, got this
big advance, was able to buy the house just perfect storm, right,
so that's our house, right. But yeah, it hit us
when we looked in our daughter's room after some rain
and was like, hey, where's that puddle from?

Speaker 1 (24:50):
Yeah? Right right right, And you're like, hey, you feel
this part of the wall. It's mushy. Yes, yes, I was.

Speaker 4 (24:56):
Like yoh, which is which is actually full circle how
I became theoprop because I had to learn how to
fix it before, like I said, I've never owned a drill,
so I was like, oh, I have to do this.

Speaker 1 (25:09):
I was doing drills before I owned a drill. That
feels like a UK lyric. Anyway, let's take a quick
break and we're gonna come back and get into the
news where Trump is pump faking yet again. Here we
go in a minute, and we're back. So, as I

(25:35):
mentioned in the opening the intro, if you will, the
tariffs have been, as CNBC says, roiling the markets, causing
untold financial destruction to global trade and things that As
somebody who likes to eat food that comes from other
places a lot, like you know, cheese or like Japanese rice,

(25:57):
just like kind of those ethnic foods. I was wedding
because I'm like, what the what is this about to
do to everything? And especially restaurants. Either way, the threat
still remains of the tariffs. However, Trump announced that he
is putting a ninety day pause on tariffs for seventy
five countries. But he's trying to like spin it like
he wasn't getting screened at by every single person who's like,

(26:18):
you know, everybody's trying to make a deal. And after that,
I've realized, whatever it's all that to suck it up
the money, he's fucked up the money. Ninety day pause
on tariffs for now, it could obviously fucking change within
three seconds. But yeah, the line went up again, and
everyone's like yay. The markets went up, and I'm like, please,
don't fucking think this is over just because he pumped

(26:39):
faked the tariffs. We're still stuck with this administration that
is disappearing people and illegally human trafficking people to l Salvador.
We're still revoking people's visas for just merely exercising free
speech rights. We still have a lot on our plate.
We still have Elon Musk trying to destroy social security.
We still have poying with the fact of making increased

(27:02):
tax cuts for the wealthy. This is far from over.
But I think for people who are like in the
Aiden Ross camp, like, bro, what happened on my fucking
crypto man, Sure maybe you got something back, but you're
still not doing Okay all that to say, yeah, this
on Wednesday morning, because the stock market was continued to
go down and people were just like ditching US bonds,

(27:24):
he put on truth social be cool. Everything is going
to work out well. The USA will be bigger and
better than ever before.

Speaker 3 (27:33):
Okay, yeah, yeah, be cool. I want a big country.
That's what I care about is how large my country is?
The earth right right right make land?

Speaker 1 (27:44):
Yeah my big morning. I voted for Trump because I
wanted America to be bigger. I needed I needed bigger.

Speaker 4 (27:50):
Yeah, yeah, you can't care if I don't care what tear,
if you put on a banana, niggade, don't grow here,
Like I just don't know what you what you go do?
But yeah, it wasn't so like deathly earth shattering destroying.
This would be the funniest to B movie that we're
all in right now, Like this is.

Speaker 1 (28:10):
Free, Yeah, this would be to watch. Well, actually it's
not free. Yes, everyone, any studio executive would return this
script back and be like what did what did you
just send me? Talk?

Speaker 4 (28:26):
First of all, like I'm first of all, I have
to go back to the fact that like the Democrat
senator or congressman that got kicked out of Trump's speech
was named al Green.

Speaker 1 (28:41):
You named that man al Green.

Speaker 4 (28:43):
I'm sending this script back, like did anybody else go
that's the funniest shit ever al Green? I just thought
hot grits and soul music, Like, you can't call this
man al Green. Now you fast forward to this guy,
your economic advisor, who thought of all bullshit ass bullshit
ass tariffs, which was the opening scene in Ferris Bueller's

(29:07):
day off what his teacher is explaining ben Stein. When
ben Stein's explaining how this destroyed the like it's in
the scene right, but that man his name's Peter Navarro.
I was like, wait a minute, is that the dude
from Jane's addiction? Like why do you keep naming or

(29:31):
is it? Is it Danny Navarro?

Speaker 1 (29:32):
Who's the dude in? I was like, either way, Dave
Dave Navarro? I thought, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, briefly.

Speaker 4 (29:40):
Yes, but then this clown did y'all see did y'all
see the ron Vara stuff?

Speaker 1 (29:48):
Yeah? Yeah, how he was exciting a made up expert
and they're like, that's your last name as an anagram?
Is this a Scooby Dukes kid?

Speaker 4 (29:56):
Like you really put you really thought like a dianagramma?

Speaker 1 (30:01):
Your name is you? Why iPhones to thirty? Well, I mean, yeah,
this is the thing though, it's it. It seems so stupid,
and it feels like it's so stupid that it just
must be stupid. But I don't count out the fact
that there might be some other market manipulation that happened
that a lot of people were gonna get wealthy from
if they got ahead of it. Yeah, So it's hard

(30:23):
to know the extent of it. But what we do
know is Trump is senile. Trump is dumb, and he
worships tariffs. So it feels like, even if your aim
wasn't necessarily like this, they knew. It's like, well, we
can achieve some kind of market disruption by telling him
to go hard on tariffs. Either way, we're here and
it's bad. This last week, we've seen all kinds of

(30:44):
people start being like, I don't know why the fuck
I voted for this guy. I lost twenty five percent
of my retirement. I lost thirty percent of my wealth.
People are saying, ah, numbers that are so wild, Like
I have no sympathy, which is I feel bad. I
don't feel bad because, like, effect do I know about
losing ten million dollars, But like when I hear sit
like that, it feels like it's easier to kind of

(31:05):
put into perspective when you hear about what the tariffs
would cost people. And now those rates have gone up.
They said the average would be an average family would
be around thirty nine hundred dollars a month or sorry
a year in lost like sort of buying power. That
would mean now I'd like to put it in these perspectives,

(31:25):
and I think for people who want to talk to
their friends about like, well, what do the terms mean,
that would mean you need to come up with another
three hundred and twenty five dollars a month. Basically you
need another check to check. You need to come up
with three hundred and twenty five extra dollars per month
because of the rise and costs. So now we're at
this point where we're seeing like interviews where people are like,

(31:45):
do you regret your decision? Vox did this thing where
they were talking to some of the worst pieces of
shit that are like MAGA supporters, not just regular voters
like in MAGA fucking quote unquote influencers, and they're all like, person,
I know, but it's wild because they went out to
them and they said, whoa, I just noted like they
basically saw them talking spicy on social media. Then they

(32:05):
reached out for an interview and they're like, hey, you
want to talk about how you feel about your vote.
So for example, like they like, we're talking about eugenicists,
like white nationalists, COVID deniers. Okay, they hit these people up.
One guy, Alex Berenson, who's also known as the pandemic's
wrongest man because he was always like, nah, it's fine,
it's like the cold. He was really out there being

(32:27):
super casual. Trump elevated him because he was saying all
kinds of stuff to be like, it's fine, nothing, it's nothing.
He basically was screaming that Trump needs to be impeached immediately,
like he's changed it up so quick. He was like,
we need to fucking impeach him. I don't know what
the fuck is going. I don't know what the fuck
they're thinking. Then we have white nationalists and author of
the seminal Maga book The Origins of Wokeness, which is

(32:50):
like really underpins a lot of the anti DEI stuff
we're seeing. His name is Richard Hanania. He said, quote,
I was expecting something of a repeat of the first administration,
with Trump restrained by traditional conservative ideas, personnel, and institutions.
As it turned out, the old Reagan coalition was becoming
increasingly hollow, replaced by Trump worship, online edge lordism, and

(33:12):
later riving scammers like Crypto Bros And Maha Make America
Healthy Again. Then he said, he's like he was talking
to some of the people in the cabinet and like
thought that maybe they were gonna be adults. He said,
quote talking to these guys privately, there's no distinction. It
really is people radicalized by social media, and all of

(33:32):
us are like, are you fucking for real? Yeah, a
lot of these people were. They did say they were
so focused on the culture warshit and felt Trump was
the vehicle for that. That's why a lot of people
are making references. They're like, oh, are you glad that
a few trans athletes can't compete anymore? And we don't
use pronouns and you know there's no dei for your

(33:53):
retirement to be vaporized worth it? Then Razeeb Khan, who
is a geneticist okay and like race scientists, he called
himself the R word and wrong for discounting the risk
that Trump would actually do with the tariffs. He's like
beating himself. He's like, I don't know what the fuck

(34:14):
I was thinking. I just thought this is the perfect
vehicle for our movement for fighting wokeness, and god, I
was so wrong. And so again, all these people thought
people like Peter Teel and Elon Musk would be the
quote this is what they say again. They we thought
they would be the adult in the room him too,
Yeah exactly. I'm like, it's clear you have these backwards

(34:34):
right wingers have no real life experience, because I'm not
fucking with a room where the adult in the room
is smacked off ketamine and like Twitter ship posts and
be like, oh, that's the adult in the room. Yeah, great, great, great,
So I'm fucking leaving. The president is a baby. The
president is an actual baby. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
hold on, so that's a baby. And this guy has

(34:56):
these sunglasses on upside down, just spinning in circles. Off
to me, that's and that's three babies in a trench
coat who are yeah, shaking from a sugar overdose.

Speaker 4 (35:07):
I like, yeah, I hate the fact that, like the
possibility that and this is what what like really burns
me up about, not just Trump, but men like Trump
to where it's like but it also might work right
and then you're just like you like you just it's
it's really it's really the Marvel movie. Like at the

(35:29):
end of a Marvel movie, the city's destroyed, but the
aliens did none of us have homes. None of us
have homes. You've burnt down all infrastructure. But hey, I
killed your alien. Aren't you happy?

Speaker 1 (35:41):
Yeah? Like this is this is that thing that wealth
does to people, and especially wealthy white guys getting together.
They are so bought in on like the mysticism of
their own wealth and the fact that they just exploit
other people's labor and they're like, and I made millions,
Like dude, we're like fucking wizards. That they like that.
It gives way to thinking like you're saying prop of like, well,

(36:04):
let's give him some runway. He's been really into terrorists
since the eighties. Yeah, it might work. What the fuck
are you talking about? Have you ever been in a
room with other people who have shit on the line?
They would beat the shit out of you before they
let you do something. They're like, yes, this is a
phrase I'm surprised doesn't exist with billionaires, which is don't
fuck up my money. Yeah, you're and I know it
does money, Yes, I know it does. You're capitalists. And

(36:27):
that's where I'm like, is this what happened? Did the
did they wake up and they're like, hold on, he's
fucking with my money.

Speaker 4 (36:34):
I honestly think that's what I honestly think at the
end of the day. That's the way. It's like, what's
going to take this? What if anything takes this man out?
Is is fucking up the money? I still like we
did a we on Wednesday, we dropped the episode about
the tariff song of the politics and just like my
transparency about like even when I became like a high

(36:54):
school teacher in social science fresh out of college, I
failed the economics test three times because I was like this,
it don't make sense to me.

Speaker 1 (37:03):
Spend money, don't spend money you don't have. It's simple
to me.

Speaker 4 (37:06):
So when you start talking about stocks and bonds and
net worth and stuff like that, I'm like, how much
money is in your bank account? And if you tell
me ten thousand dollars and I'm like, then you have
ten thousand dollars. I don't know what you're talking about
with this imaginary I lost a billion dollars. That's not
so money, Like, how is that so money from you?

Speaker 1 (37:26):
Yeah? Like where where is the billion dollars?

Speaker 4 (37:29):
So part of me like it feels like I don't
care if the stock took yo, your imagine you lost
imaginary money?

Speaker 1 (37:35):
Poor you. What hit me was retirement.

Speaker 4 (37:40):
People are like, oh, I've been paying into this for
the past thirty years, and now you're telling me.

Speaker 1 (37:46):
It's all tied to the stock market, like that was
a huge betrayal. And they're like, you know, we know
pensions should actually be part of the stock market. What
do y'all think about that? Yeah, having the money, we're stockular. Yeah,
let's actually tie that to the stock market. This is
a new quote we do have from President Donald Trump
about uh, the the tariffs. He basically said, yeah, he

(38:10):
said he reversed tariffs because people were quote a little
bit yippy and afraid. This motherfucker you set the house
on file. You mean like that. I see you guys
feeling real weird about it. So you're tripping, Okay, I'll stop.
Also a lot of hollering when I was standing over
the burning embers of your life. This is just like,

(38:32):
I'm surprised. This feels just so again. I'm like, we're
the Democrats because they're just they're still now they're saying,
like Elizabeth warns, like, now is about the time to
call your representatives about the tariffs. I'm sorry you are
in Congress. You need to be doing stuff. Cory Cory
Booker's Philipbuster. That's a start. That's a start. That's at

(38:53):
least somebody putting something out there. It didn't quite get
us what we need, but at least I'm like, well,
the man didn't take a piss for twenty four hours. Shit,
he gives a fuck it. Yeah yeah, so I mean, yeah,
I'll give you that. Yeah. I would like to see more.
If only Trump was like, Okay, we get it, you
don't really take a pee. I'll relax, Corey, please go
to the bathroom. It's just very hard when they need

(39:15):
to be telling people what this is actually doing. What
he is, he is stealing from all of us, I
just sealing from us.

Speaker 4 (39:23):
I don't know why it's so hard to just say
that when you say okay, when people were talking about
like all the way back to like the Project twenty
twenty five stuff, when there was like he's gonna, he's gonna,
it's like no, all you got to do is read it.
Just read it to people. This is what it says

(39:44):
with the USAID stuff. Okay, here's what we do with
USAI d Okay, the Department of Education is need to leave. Okay,
here's what it actually does. What this means is your
remedial ass son that can't read that needs somebody to
come help them read it in a class that's a
title one student.

Speaker 1 (40:02):
That's what the department covers, right, Yeah, exactly, you.

Speaker 4 (40:05):
Ain't so so when you yelling at your teacher like
why why why can't my son read, I'm like, well,
we had an instructional age, but you voted.

Speaker 1 (40:12):
For that person and lose their job. Yeah, and just
say that. I also see like, yeah, there's so much
content too right now that I see blowing up of
like liberals dunking on Republicans like book around and find out,
and I'm like, that is so not helpful. I know
people want to engage in the shadenfreude because of everything

(40:33):
that has been rocked upon us because of Trump, and
you're like, look at what you you wanted to have
that moment where you're teaching the dog repete on the road,
look at what you did. Put your nose in it
type shit. But at the end of the day, this
affects every single one of us, and like acting as
if all the damage is limited to people that voted
for Trump is not is not is not constructive, and

(40:53):
it's not going to help because long term, like more
people need to fucking figure out that, like we're all
getting fucked simultaneous lead rather than being like, just because
you're not feeling it now doesn't mean that your company
might feel the squeeze. Have to correct start bringing budgets
down and do layoffs. And there's so many ways that
you can get touched by this. And I think a
lot of people, I mean, I get it. It's shit

(41:15):
is just so fucking chaotic right now. You don't know
what to feel or who to fucking laugh at or
scream out or cry out. But it's this is this
is all very not good for everyone. But anyway, And
in response to this, Trump also said, well, seventy five
countries are will still only be paying ten percent tariffs.
China will now have one hundred and twenty five percent tariffs.

(41:36):
Stupid asshole. Just again, like, I get it. The seventy
five out of the country is great, but China is
still so deeply an integral part of American supply chains
for American companies and American consumers who are addicted to

(41:57):
cheap shit is not coming out of Kenosha, Wisconsin or
some shit. It is coming from China, so.

Speaker 3 (42:03):
And need to buy it can only afford to buy
it because of these principles, the economic principle. Yeah, yes,
taking away necessities from people who need it.

Speaker 1 (42:12):
One thing that I thought was real, spooky or very
interesting was Senator Tom Tillis from North Carolina on Tuesday.
He was speaking with one of Trump's trade representatives, this guy,
Jamison Greer, and he was basically, I'm just gonna let him.
This is a Republican senator speaking And granted this might
have something to the fact that he's up for reelection

(42:34):
next year. Either way, Yeah, this is this is how
a Republican senator is talking to one of Trump's representatives
about these tariffs.

Speaker 2 (42:42):
So my first question to you in this scenario, the
decision maker who decided the ala prima approach, who has
obviously had to have spent time anticipating what we saw
in the markets and some of the pushback.

Speaker 6 (42:54):
I'm assuming this all got gamed out.

Speaker 2 (42:56):
No, because it's a novel approach.

Speaker 6 (42:59):
It needed to be thought out. Who's froate Do I
get to choke if this proves to be wrong?

Speaker 7 (43:04):
Well, Senator, you can certainly always talk to me.

Speaker 6 (43:06):
But I wonder you at the tip of the spirit.

Speaker 7 (43:08):
Well, I'm at the tip of the spirit for certainly.

Speaker 6 (43:10):
Did you propose the al a premium approach?

Speaker 7 (43:13):
So first of all, I would push back center just
a little bit on.

Speaker 1 (43:16):
Okay, well, look they start doing a bunch of wonky talk.
But he said, who's but who's throat? Do I get
to choke? Okay, freak, what are you talking about? He's like,
it would be me, m my, okay, I'm gonna choke
your throat. I felt that was a little redundant. I
feel like I could give him notes on his menacing
talk a little bit. I would just do who do

(43:38):
I choke? Yeah? Who as do I beat?

Speaker 7 (43:40):
You know?

Speaker 1 (43:41):
Yeah? Exactly? Who do I throat? No? No, just true? Wait,
whose ass is getting this belt? Whose ass is getting throated?
Another one? Yeah? Or get a little more colloquially from
you're from North Carolina. You talk about, you know, getting
a switch or something. I don't know, but yeah, it's
just up a little bit, senter, don't talk to us.
I think again, this feels like when you have senators

(44:01):
they're losing it, presumably because the wealthy donors they are
beholden to to keep their campaign coffers full are calling
them up and are saying, what the fuck are y'all
doing to my money? So I don't know. I don't
It's so hard to fucking know. That's what makes it
so difficult to talk about this administration because Trump is

(44:21):
clearly in a state of mental decline and Laura Lumer
just shows up and whispers shit in his ear and
then like national security people get fired, like it feels
like a cartoon.

Speaker 3 (44:31):
He's like an at he's so he's addicted to what
he thinks deal making is. So we don't know what
that means. It's not our understanding of what a deal is.
It's what he thinks the deal is, which is already terrifying.
And they're like, okay, the adults in the room, we're
gonna take away his deals so he can get sober.
And then he's somehow concocted deal making out of tariffs

(44:51):
and so he found a way to make this drug
for some reason for himself, and now he's completely fucked.

Speaker 1 (44:58):
Which is from us essentially. I think for him, it's
it's I think deal making is making someone do something
they don't want to do, that he gets that they
don't want to do. Yeah, yeah, it's really not really
tied to the finances of it, because we know he
has no real business acumen. His gang.

Speaker 4 (45:17):
Yes, it's really gangshit in the sense that, like all
relationships are transactional, like there are no every we don't
have friends. Everything is like yeah if you like it's
so if everything is transactional, if I feel like you're
getting more from me than I'm getting from you, and
you win it. So even if I'm happy, even if
even if everybody I got over here is happy, like

(45:39):
if I feel like if I just feel like you're
taken advantage of me rather than us just being like, well,
it's fine, like like that's taking from it's great. That
same senator lit the fool up about the Australian like
uh uh trade. He was like, we have a free
trade with Australia and a trade surplus with them, Like
we're making money with Australia. What the hell are you doing?

Speaker 1 (46:03):
Oh? Sorry, So my grandpa he he has undiagnosed dementia. Yeah, yeah,
So what happens is he's just kind of at night,
it gets spooky, y'all. And sometimes we have to give
him a piece of wood that we pretend is an
iPhone and we tell him his truth social posts are
going out there.

Speaker 4 (46:20):
Yeah, he told me he was gonna teariff Hogwarts next.
I was like, I will figure it out. I'll figure
out how to tear off Harwars.

Speaker 1 (46:29):
They've had it too good for too long. Yea, you
have our number. We will not be pushed around. I'm
just saying, so we'll see. I like, I think one
thing that we do know is that Trump is a coward.
Uh And you know there was a version of me

(46:49):
is like, oh, we're just here we go, and it
still could happen because I can only imagine what happens
when someone feels like they seem less powerful for backing
down from something that they double down. We'll just have
to see. We will just have to see. But for now,
the line went back up a little bit, So let's
take a quick break and we'll be right back. And

(47:21):
we're back. So this Hershey Chocolate movie was announced and
a lot of people are like making comparisons to like
the fuck the studio that new seth Rogan movie that's
on Apple or the series that's on Apple. Because in
the show, it's not a spoiler. He has to make
a movie about kool Aid, Like they got the kool
Aid ip and he now has to make figure out

(47:43):
the kool Aid movie. And hearing the Hershey bar movie,
who everyone was like, this is so stupid. What is
going on this movie? It's called Hershey. It is quite
literally a co production with good I'm glad it's call
it that. Yeah, Hershey for now working title, working title.
It is a co production with Hershey Entities, which is

(48:06):
like their official company. And it will be a quote
love story about Milton Hershey and his wife Catherine, who
founded the company Town Hershey, Pennsylvania, but his greatest legacy
is the Milton Hershey School. Incomes the Behind the Bastards
theme song. Yeah, because as our writer Jam McNab was pointing,
like looking into it, he's like, yeah, oh my god.

(48:26):
And I forgive me if this was already a Behind
the Bastard's episode, because Elie Robert has covered so nearly
every single person. I typically when I need to learn something,
I just check if there is behind the Baschetard's episode.
First I said, he doesn't do it, so confidently I
don't know. Let's see Hershey behind the Bastards and no,

(48:51):
all right, all right, you got it a topic. I
just got in there, and he will do a much
much deeper dive than this. But just topically right, this
is just wild because I'm like probably like most people,
I know nothing about the Hershey family. I didn't even
know that there was like a company town. I just
know the fucking, very boring chocolate bar that you use firstmores. Okay,

(49:13):
I like the cookies and cream one better if you're
gonna if I have to be honest. His company town, though,
did include social services and health insurance for workers. These
were not usual things, but those same workers quote became
increasingly uncomfortable with the company's oversight of their private lives
and grew to dislike Hershey, who, of course he lived

(49:34):
in a mansion on the hill overlooking his subordinates. Wow.
From one of the books from historian Robert Weir, he
described quote he felt his workers owed him everything, after all,
he had given them everything. Oh I love that backwards
ass depiction of your relation to your workers. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I mean I gave you everything off the backs of

(49:54):
your labor, that I give you a fraction of a pittance.
What do you mean to rese I keep you my life.
You gave me a job. Yes, ye gave me. Yeah,
you gave me the opportunity to exploit my work. Yeah, fine,
you gave me everything what I wrestle. So there was
another moment in the story of the Hershey Company where
workers staged a sit in strike and we know where

(50:18):
this is headed. It was ended violently in a riot
that some say was orchestrated by Hershey himself. This is
from the New York Times. After five days of the
sit in, chaos broke out. On April seventh, thousands of farmers,
joined by loyal employees, stormed the factory and assaulted the
strikers with fist shoes, clubs, improvise, improvised weapons, and even

(50:39):
ice picks. According to oral history interviews housed in the
Hershey Hershey Corporation archives, some strike participants believe that Hershey itself,
the company, had orchestrated the riot, bringing in strike breakers
from Pennsylvania and forcing locals, including dairy farmers who relied
on their business with Hershey, to participate, allegedly Kang allegedly,

(51:05):
so it brings us to the school. Sorry, Blake, I.

Speaker 3 (51:08):
Thought you no, no, no, I've been to Hershey, Pennsylvania and
it's I mean, it's not close to Philly, but it's
like close enough you can get there that you know
about it, right, yeah, that I know about it and
that I've been there.

Speaker 1 (51:18):
And then no place smells like that, like they are
pumping in chocolate smell through for like one hundred square
miles to cover eyes.

Speaker 3 (51:29):
I mean it does smell like that. It really, right,
it does smell like that. Yeah, and I assume it's
to cover up lies like this.

Speaker 1 (51:34):
Is there a fact? Is the factory right there? Still? Yeah? Yeah,
it's there's a park.

Speaker 3 (51:38):
So it's like a theme park and after like pro
like a prom or a homecoming the cool kids like
myself who weren't drinking at the time that I.

Speaker 1 (51:49):
Have a terrible drinking problem. Now yeah I can't. I
don't know where I am right now? Yeah? Are you
who's Jack? Which one of you? Where's Jack? Your her
hair is longer? Those are dreads, man.

Speaker 3 (52:04):
But you know, it's a whole it's a whole theme park.
There's like and it's also like one of those propaganda
parks right right right relation and but they have like
you can tour them and be like, well, how great.
You know, it's almost like a severance like, this is
the the guy, like the cure guy. Right, yeah, it's
very very weird.

Speaker 1 (52:22):
Yeah, man, chocolate right but chocolate, Okay, well it's chocolate. Yeah,
middling chocolate. Middling chocolate. I'm not thank you, it's middling.
So for the As for the Hershey School for Orphans,
which Hershey founded and donated his entire fortune to, ever like,
oh my god, looking at for orphans, this is fantastic.
He donated all his orphans for one thing. Yeah, Hershey's

(52:46):
heart was not in the right place for this school
of orphans. This was quote only poor, healthy, white male
orphans of ages between four and eight years will be admitted.
How do you manage? I feel like these people like,
what the helly?

Speaker 7 (53:04):
Like?

Speaker 1 (53:04):
What the helly own?

Speaker 4 (53:05):
Like? How do you manage to find a way to
be a villain in giving your life savings to an orphanage?
Like like I was wondering how this.

Speaker 1 (53:17):
Was gonna be bad? Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly where people
like this is great. They're like, well it started off
with actually little white children. It was a segregated orphanage.
Non white orphans were admitted starting in the late nineteen sixties.
I wonder what happened around that we had to sir,
you can't say it happened around the around became the law.

(53:39):
You fucking changed.

Speaker 4 (53:40):
Her mind, You changed your mind, you changed a change
of heart right after this.

Speaker 1 (53:46):
Yeah, the l was the right time, right early. Yeah. Then,
but then they held on to their backwards ways. Because
girls and at risk children who were not orphans, they
were allowed in the next decade, in the seventies. Ess.
According to the author of The Chocolate Trust, it's the
book about them, admission to the school came with strings attached.

(54:07):
Like you said, prop, all relations art, all relationships are transactional,
which meant these kids were now in the program of
indentured servitudes. Children were forced to work for hershey, before
and after class, milk and cows, shoveley manure and polishing silverware.

Speaker 4 (54:25):
Oodlumpas dude, Like yeah, he literally created oopa lumpas out
of white orphanis or.

Speaker 1 (54:33):
Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, uh so this is from uh
this this book about it said quote from the Chocolate Trust.
Some farms were two or three miles from school. Boys
couldn't be late for milking a homeboy. This is just
like wait, wait for this. That would call it a
homeboy because they were part of the home so they said, okay,
fair enoughs that's a book. It's capitalized. It's a proper noun.

(54:56):
Tend to be our capitalist. A homeboy who was late
for milk had to run his arms and legs pumping
along a country road to get there on time. Uh oh,
so yeah, the modern I think Hershey company definitely they
have a vested interest in making the movie. Because there's
still a ton of controversies. They're still the wild thing

(55:17):
is I didn't know this. The school is richer than
Penn State and the University of Pittsburgh combined, and they
charge no tuition and they take no government aid. Thank god.
You know, they don't need it. All the schools they're
taking doing woke stuff with the probably because they're like, yeah,
because then we don't have to be held to the
fucking standards of whatever.

Speaker 4 (55:37):
I would imagine left I would imagine now they'll be like, damn,
we can get everybody money now we are already doing
which y'all won't so like, hey, looking at it, say
like I know day over there researching aut in woke medicines.

Speaker 1 (55:51):
We'll give none of these kids, so we'll take your money. Yeah,
if they're late. If they're late, for if a homeboy
is late to milking, we break their fingers either painting
the storage. By the way, yeah, put this green wig on.
Put these overalls on it. You are not worn skin
and now only walk on your knee. House students live
in group homes monitored by quote house parents who must

(56:13):
be married couples, okay, the students who live within a minute.
They also have like a caste system within this like school,
where they're ranked on things like finishing their dinner and
following rules. What among the behaviors that graduates told us
affected their ranking gossiping, being late, not eating all their dinner,
having a bad attitude, and failing to vacuum in dust properly.

(56:36):
A higher ranking would lead to more privileges, like being
able to watch TV or having a later bedtime. Worse,
misbehaving students that resulted in demerits, which could lead to
college scholarships being drained. Oh my god. So so, as
one former student put it, quote, they don't give you
a chance to live a regular life and make mistakes

(56:57):
without taking away your future.

Speaker 3 (57:00):
I was like, America, Oh weird, how do we know?
There's so much fucked up ship. It's like, why did
I not know this? You know, there's so many things
on this show where it's like, why didn't I know that?

Speaker 1 (57:09):
That's horrible? Oh, here's this is the worst thing I've
ever heard.

Speaker 4 (57:12):
Yea chocolate company, got a jail, got a juvenile hall.
Basically you know what I'm saying, right, and you we
punish you for being children.

Speaker 1 (57:23):
M Yeah that's the movie.

Speaker 3 (57:24):
By the way, I don't know what the fuck they're doing,
some story between a chocolate guy and a woman.

Speaker 1 (57:30):
It's like, no, right, that's the movie. No, yeah, exactly,
you have a terrible uh like dark What was that
one movie about the boarding school that had Kevin Bacon
called Matilda? Oh yeah, yeah, no, not Rounders. That was
about Polker Dude, I'm sucking up this, imagine Annie, Annie,

(57:51):
Yeah they were sleepers, sleepers, Yes, yes, like it would
be a legal drama, is what the story about the
Hershey school would be, allegedly, But yeah, we'll see. Maybe
the movie will be cool. A lot of people just
writing about it, like, oh, White Lotus alom Alessandro de
Daria is in it, and you're like, what about the school.

(58:13):
Here's the thing that Yeah, yeah, yeah, same way. How
like you see stuff for like occasionally, like on President's Day,
they're like, you'll never guess what George Washington's favorite hobby was.
And you're like, have a slave teeth stealing teeth? That
it is?

Speaker 2 (58:25):
Late?

Speaker 1 (58:26):
Is that it is?

Speaker 4 (58:27):
That?

Speaker 1 (58:27):
It like another thing that a most American people don't
They're like they were made of wood. Yeah, yep, yep,
I don't know, man. Yeah, so keep your eyes on
this one. I think it's going to suck and we
don't need again, just make spend half the money so

(58:48):
you don't have to acquire dumb ip and just empower
creators who are out there right now with stories so
different people's heads will be blown off and they will
come to the fucking theater or don't what do I know? Yeah?
What do you? Yeah? That's just like my opinion, man.
But my opinion was, Prop, this was a great episode
and it was fantastic having you here. Where do the
people find you? Hear you? Listen to you? Man? And

(59:12):
what's a working media that you're enjoying. My opinion is
I really love you guys, and I want to do this.

Speaker 4 (59:17):
You are and yeah, prop hip hop dot Com and
all of the apt symbols for the hood, politics stuff
for the new music dropping Like twenty twenty four was
like a pretty I just had. I didn't do a
lot of performing. I kind of felt like God put
me on the bench. So I was like, I don't
know what I'm doing. So I just wrote a song

(59:37):
a day. So now I'm like four albums later. One
of those albums is dropping very soon. But the first
single of that body of work is Friday prop hip
hop dot com song a Day. I wrote a song
a day, bro, unreal. I was just sitting here. I
was like, well, let me get my reps in. It's
like going back to the gym.

Yeah. Most I can do is make inco references and
scream about the decay of America every day. Not even
good at that, yeah, Kenny, Yeah exactly thinks.

you it's kind of like when you own, like when
you own the Masters, it's like you can kind of
like you can actually make a little bit of money
on the streamers, and not as much as I should make,
but you can definitely do it.

Speaker 1 (01:00:41):
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:00:44):
A piece of media I like is this lady doctor Fizzle.

Speaker 1 (01:00:49):
She's a part of the fifty Nerds of Gray.

Speaker 4 (01:00:52):
And it says, does anyone have easy tricks to remember
the affect versus effect difference? And she said the person replied,
affect is fuck around and effect is find out.

Speaker 1 (01:01:09):
Wow, that's great. I like that.

Speaker 4 (01:01:12):
I taught high school for six years and I never
thought of this. I was like, this is absolutely brilliant.
And there's a second one. I'm sorry, can I give
a second one?

Speaker 1 (01:01:20):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (01:01:21):
I was right out of time. The meme was sent
to me. They didn't give me a at symbol or nothing.
They just clicked it and sent it to me. And
it was this white man saying that ghosts really can't
affect human living human beings because if that were the case,
there'd only be a handful of Caucasians left on earth.

Speaker 1 (01:01:39):
That was like, this dude made a super valid point.

Speaker 4 (01:01:42):
Wow, that's pretty true because if ghosts could actually hurt you, Yeah,
Blake would be the last white boy.

Speaker 1 (01:01:49):
It's a lot of ghosts. I appreciate it. Yeah, get good.

Speaker 3 (01:01:54):
I'd be walking walking on a knife's edge every single day,
surrounded by ghosts.

Speaker 1 (01:01:59):
Guys, Who's the ghost your most afraid of? Blake? Anyone,
any any ghost you're afraid of? But you were gonna
say any black ghosts? We're gonna say to me? No,
