Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet and welcome to this episode of Pump
transite Latte. Um As, courtesy as superproducer Trish mccarrigee. She
suggested Pumpkin Zite Latte, but we got we had to
just add that little trend in there. You know what
I'm saying. I'm Jack and I'm throwed to be joined
by Super Producer Becca Rama. Hello, hello, yeah, first day.
(00:25):
We did it, we made it, we made it. Let's
kick it off with first day of fall. What are
you doing to celebrate? You know, I got my new,
Uh Furry Birkenstock Boston clogs on. Um. I'm trying to
justify this purchase in my house by walking around with
them on. Don't worry, I have not worn them outside yet,
(00:46):
so they are currently inside shoes. Um. But I do
love fall. I feel like I truly not to be
the most basic bitch, but I truly did fall in
love with fall when I moved to Portland P scrab
because it is like nowhere else. I even living in
New York for the past few years, like I still
(01:07):
like long for a Portland fall like it is like
just crisp enough, it doesn't get too cold the trees
because it truly. You're like literally in this little village
city in the midst of a forest, like all the
trees are like beautifully like golden and red, and like
you go apple picking and you go pumpkin patching and
(01:29):
then like there's like, Um, you know the movie Halloween town? No,
I don't nightmare before Christmas. No, no, no, it is
a Disney channel original movie, Halloween town, but Debbie Reynolds.
It was filmed forty minutes away in this little town,
uh from Portland's I forgot the name of the town
right now. But the town is like truly just like
(01:51):
a hop, skip and a jump away from Portland and
I used to go every fall when I lived there
and it only is alive during Halloween, specifically because it
is such a tiny town and such a tourist spot
during the like Halloween season. But they have like a
little like fall festival. They have the Pumpkin from the
movie like on display and like the little taxi with
(02:12):
the skeleton, people who know no, and they actually did,
like I went the year that it was the twenty
anniversary of the movie and they actually had like the
cast of the movie there for like a meet and
greet it costs way too much money. I did not
take pictures with them, but there's like a little like
there's like a couple of little museums, like there's like
this fake alien Ufo Museum that you go and there's
(02:34):
like all these like like little like toy aliens that
they built up in like there's like fake ufo and
all this stuff. It's so fun and there's just like
nowhere else that's like done it like that. Like it's
just like such a quaint you're like, oh, like, this
place is fall like. I'm sure there are places on
the east coast like Salem and things that are like
truly spooky, which I don't like that. I'm not like
here for like the spirit stuff. I'm not here to
(02:55):
get haunted. I just want to enjoy it in like
a spooky Yuki Way, and that's what Portland gives me.
So you're here for the spooky. So three OOKIES. Yeah, yeah,
that is a very specific level of fall appreciation. It
sounds lovely. Um, I did just look up that town
(03:15):
and apparently nobody's been alive there for twenty five years
since the big fire. So you may not think you
funk with the spirit world, but terrifying. So all the
men in Portland I dated were not real. That took
me there. Yeah, they were apparatus, spirits of my fall situation.
Ship Time, very complicated, uh, Spirit world grind that they
(03:39):
have with they send out cupping season. You know, you
there's a specific timeline and cupping season in Portland was
a fun time where you just find a little fun,
cozy hang out from September to like beginning of December,
so you don't have to spend the holidays with them.
Oh interesting, and it's cupping season, like sipping, coughing, like putting,
(04:02):
putting cuff in your hand. To someone too, I feel
like it's a little mutual, like I feel like the
guys know what they're walking into, like they're like I'm
ready to like, I'm ready to be cute. Yeah, I
instagram pictures, I can't wait for this and I can't
wait for a man to take me on a date.
And then it's just like this mutual understanding that neither
of US want to be together for Christmas and you
(04:23):
just Kinda sometimes it's not very mutual, but you know,
I feel like a lot of times it is. We're
just like respectfully, like we knew what this was. It's
time to go. Yeah, speaking of we knew what this was.
It's time to go. Olivia wild is doing some more
press for don't worry darling, coming out tomorrow. Yeah, it's
finally here. That's something we've been we've all been our
(04:46):
long national nightmares over of the don't worry darling, press
controversy cycle, news cycle that's been swirling. Um, what? What
do we have? What's the most recent? Basically, she was
on a late show this week with Stephen Colbert and
address the controversy, once again stating that she did still
(05:08):
being steadfast, despite the evidence that Shia has presented, that
she did let him go and that she chose Florence. Basically,
Shia had given her an ultimatum and they try to
make it work, but ultimately she was like, I cannot
meet your ultimatum and I am choosing Florence, and who knows.
(05:28):
I wonder if Florence will ever comment on this. For
my own like nosy ass, I hope she does, but
I know she's above the press and probably will never
and I respect her decision on that. But I just
want her to put Olivia well in her place, because
you don't say miss flow and respectfully choose Florence. Like
to me that's choosing Shia. So okay. So, just to
(05:50):
like catch people up who haven't been on listening to
he produced receipts right like she was like we had
to fire him, or like we just like she for
months had been like like since they let him go, because,
like everyone knew that she had hot chosen and hired
Shaia for the role when the movie was in production.
And then, you know, is that the role that Harry
(06:13):
styles ended up having? Yes, and that's why there was
drama with it because, like when he took the role,
they were like, oh, she just put her boyfriend in
the role, because then they started dating and it was like, Oh,
this is weird. But when that happened like months ago, Um,
she was very clear, like I fired Chaia like that
the narrative. She had been pushing out, pushing out, pushing out,
(06:33):
and then when the official press tour for the movie
started and she did the van fair article, she like
kind of did this very like, you know, feminist thing
that she always does, and she's just like, you know,
no bullies on my set. Like I fired Jaia and
I guess Shaia. I wanted to capitalize on the drama
that was going on. I think that is why he
didn't come forward sooner, especially because he has new projects
(06:55):
to promote. This is my own speculation of being chronically online.
And he was like I'm going to produce receives because
this is hot in the media right now and it
will catch fire and people will believe me now because
Olivia is in a weird place versus eight months ago
when this actually happened. So he places the receipts. His
receipt was, was it an email? Was it a voicemail?
(07:16):
He emailed vanity fair after the Vanity Fair article came
out that Olivia did where she further elaborated that she
did fire Shia. So he was like I'm tired of
this narrative. Vanity Fair, here in my receipt. So he
did like do an official like I'm coming to you,
but his his receipts were. Was it a voicemail from her?
(07:37):
And it was a video. So it was it was
a couple of text messages, like some screenshots of some texts,
and then it was an actual video that she had
sent him that was like hey, Shaya, where she's like,
I want to make this work. We can teach MS
flow a lesson. Essentially, the Star Florence Pugh unto the bus.
It's it's yeah, it's weird. I don't know. But anyways,
(08:01):
now she's claiming that she's standing her ground that, despite
the evidence, she did fire him, because the email that
he wrote was also like here my like my text,
showing that she was begging for me to stay, but
also that I formerly left. I think he also did
forward an email that he had written to Olivia Wilde
(08:23):
claiming that he like, formerly resigned from the shoot, versus
him being fired. So who knows? But yeah, she's she's
standing down, that she she did fire him. So we'll
never know, but it's fun to speculate. Yeah, it is
fun to speculate. They're predicting twenty million dollar opening for
(08:43):
this movie, which is I don't know, it seems aggressive
to me, like it seems like a movie that, based
on what I thought it was a very promising trailer,
needed good rotten tomatoes scores to really like follow through
on like what it promised and like what was intriguing
about the trailer. So I don't know, man, it'll be interesting.
(09:07):
Super Producer Brian said that woman king got nineteen million opening. Yes,
a woman king got a big opening, and it does
seem like there's just like not as many movies out
and so people are going to see cool movies. So
this weekend I think I might have the opportunity to
sneak away and get to go see a movie. I
will probably see the woman king instead of this, because
(09:27):
it just, I don't know, people seem to indicate it's
like not that good. I mean, I hear you and
I respect that your desire is to see good cinema,
but my desire is to see drama and I do
think I will be catching don't worry, Darling. So I
understand your question of the, you know, box sales, but
(09:53):
I do think there's enough drama that people are curious
why I got such a bad review, because that's why
I would see it, because I'm like, I loved the trailer,
so I'm curious on how she fumbled the bag so
hard that I'm willing to go see it and see
how she fumbled the bag. It feels like if, like
this is a movie critics would like if it was good,
(10:13):
critics would love to be like I think people were
rooting for it, but they were genuinely rooting for it,
and I think you know I mean. But it's hard
to follow such a big like opener, you know, when
you like your first movie was so good, your second one,
your sophomore movies, sometimes a bomb and the life. That's
the blank check. I am not given this the light
(10:36):
year guarantee that it's going to tank, because I don't know.
I'm just curious to see if it we we will
be following and paying attention to whether it goes twenty
million and its opening weekend. Let's take a quick break
and we'll come back and talk about more scandal. And
(11:07):
we're back Alex Jones. Let's talk about this dip shit.
He's been in Connecticut this week in preparation for his
appearance in court. It's another case where the parents of
the child murder victims, who he claimed were crisis actors
and whose lives he, you know, had just been ruined
(11:30):
and he continued to like play in the ashes of
their lives, like and just do the crueler sh it. Ever,
he's getting sued even more for what he did there,
and apparently it's not looking good. I mean the whole
case hasn't been looking at the whole trial for him
has been, yeah, looking pretty, pretty devastating, which is, I mean,
great for the general population of people who believe victims. But, yeah,
(11:55):
he's set to appear in court for the first time
on trial, speaking and he's still talking ship and I
can't wait for him to burn down. You know, I'm
sick of seeing it's not a real trial. This is
a show trial, literal, a literal kangaroo court, like a
literal kangaroo court. It's just so I mean, the delusion
(12:20):
that he lives in is or, in general, you could
say a lot of white people with too much money
in power, like the delusion that they've created for themselves
to be able to go into a court of law
and be like yeah, like I truly spout out this bullshit.
It's just, like it's mind blowing to me like that.
The lack of empathy is like sociopathic, you know, like
(12:43):
it's just it truly blows my mind how someone can
just like, I mean it's like trump, you know, you're
just like sitting there and talking out of your ass
and knowing that you're talking lies and people are showing
you like here's the evidence of your lies and you
can just still be like no, but like just taking
out of context and this and the like, just like
bullshit your way through and people still just give you
(13:03):
the time of day. It's just like it. It makes
me sick. It like truly makes my skin crawl. This
whole trial has made my skin crawl. In advance of
his testimony today, the judge on his trial has warned
that all incendiary speech from him will be treated as
contempt of court, which that that quote that I read
in Alex Jone's voice was like him outside of the
(13:25):
court the other day. He's straight up. So I think
he's gonna have a hard time. I'm not being held
in contempt of court, which lovely, love that. Love that
for him, which I'm glad the judge is saying that,
because the parents don't deserve to hear that to their
face over and like they've already heard it so many times.
But I'm so glad that the judge is going to
(13:47):
be more firm in the courtroom for those parents because
they don't deserve to hear that again. Yeah, one of
the parents at one point. Forget what it was, but
like they interacted with one another. I think it was
in the court room of the last trial where he
was basically cleaned out, or not not cleaned out, actually
he was. He was sued and is still so, so
(14:08):
rich because of all the like Dick Pills that he
sells to shitty listeners. Um. But they said something very
reasonable to him and he was like you're a sociopath,
you're get away from me, man, like you're he's truly
one of the worst humans of our lifetime. UDOKA is trending.
The coach of the Celtics, he ma udoka, you know,
(14:30):
rookie coach last year brought them all the way to
the finals. Very promising coach, is going to be suspended
for the whole season, apparently for having an affair with
someone in the Celtics Organization is married to Nia long.
It's very weird. People are saying they're like, must be
more to it than just an affair, but I don't know, man,
(14:52):
people don't be getting suspended, I guess. You know, like
at least for that. Yeah, well, we'll see. I mean
having an affair with the subordinate is pretty like. I
guess the rules in any organization Um, like against the
rules of how you're supposed to act as a human Um,
I hate to see it, because I do. He was
(15:14):
my favorite thing about the Celtics. Um. He just seems
like a cool person and a really, really smart coach.
But yeah, it's a bumber. Like we just don't we
just don't know because we don't have the details. But
I think the implications that it must be something more
are probably off base. But obviously, like, you know, based
(15:36):
in the toxic nous of Um sports fandom, that it's like, well,
nothing wrong with that. You know, it's got to be
a crime. It feels like somewhat irresponsible. Uh, Sports Journalism,
even though sports journalism is the lowest form of journalism.
(15:57):
That's not true. Citizen Journalism exists. So Hey, citizen journalism
that does some good work sometimes. Sometimes there's just a
lot of people on Tiktok and many media platforms that,
you know, just spew lies and call US citizen journalism.
That makes me weary of the ethics of Journal because
Alex Jones Conspiracy Theory Journalism is pretty bad. Yes, exactly.
(16:21):
Like it's like there's so many people out there now
that there's an easier way to have access to a
platform that just say things and they're like put on
a journalist and it's like, did you go to school?
Did you ever take a writing course? I don't know.
Did you take law and ethics? I take on ethics,
second to lowest form of journalism, or its journalism. Um,
(16:43):
Stephen a Smith, you know. But anyways, go listen to
miles and eyes show, miles and Jack Got, Matt Boostie's
an NBA podcast. And finally, anonymous Iran is blocking Internet
access as protesters. There's like a big protest growing in
Iran because a woman was stopped by the police for
(17:05):
not having her hair covered in public. The literal morality police,
like that is what they are, stopped her and she
ended up dead and they're claiming, oh, she just got
sick after we arrested her, but everybody they said as
natural causes. A young woman's death were natural causes, which
is just absolutely absurd. So massive protests, I mean they're
(17:29):
also the morality police are known for mistreating people in Iran. Yeah,
her family is very much stating that they believe she was,
you know, abused and murdered in the custody of the
morality police. But there's been huge protesting among it and
because of that, the Iranian government has shut down all
(17:51):
Internet access to people, especially a lot of this movement
was happening on social happening on WHATSAPP, and they shut
it all down. But, Um, the anarchist hackers group, they
are trying to siphon what's going on in Iran for
the IRONIAN people. It's been pretty damaging to see what's
going on. It's very scary, very upsetting and I really
(18:14):
hope that, uh, there's more ways we can find to
support the Ironian people at this time. But it's also
stated anonymous maybe taken down several state owned websites as well.
So so they're trying to basically get Internet for the
people and Pug up at the states like Internet access,
which and also, I think, showcase what's happening, because they
(18:38):
no longer have access to show what's happening. Yeah, because
buildings are being burnt down. You know, it's like very
the protests have gotten out of hand. Where the morality police?
Are you hurting the citizens going on? So yeah, all right, well,
those are some of the things that are trending. Happy
First Day of fall and thank you so much for
joining Becca. Where can people find you? Follow you all

It's it's yeah, it's weird. I don't know. But anyways,
(08:01):
now she's claiming that she's standing her ground that, despite
the evidence, she did fire him, because the email that
he wrote was also like here my like my text,
showing that she was begging for me to stay, but
also that I formerly left. I think he also did
forward an email that he had written to Olivia Wilde
(08:23):
claiming that he like, formerly resigned from the shoot, versus
him being fired. So who knows? But yeah, she's she's
standing down, that she she did fire him. So we'll
never know, but it's fun to speculate. Yeah, it is
fun to speculate. They're predicting twenty million dollar opening for
(08:43):
this movie, which is I don't know, it seems aggressive
to me, like it seems like a movie that, based
on what I thought it was a very promising trailer,
needed good rotten tomatoes scores to really like follow through
on like what it promised and like what was intriguing
about the trailer. So I don't know, man, it'll be interesting.
(09:07):
Super Producer Brian said that woman king got nineteen million opening. Yes,
a woman king got a big opening, and it does
seem like there's just like not as many movies out
and so people are going to see cool movies. So
this weekend I think I might have the opportunity to
sneak away and get to go see a movie. I
will probably see the woman king instead of this, because
(09:27):
it just, I don't know, people seem to indicate it's
like not that good. I mean, I hear you and
I respect that your desire is to see good cinema,
but my desire is to see drama and I do
think I will be catching don't worry, Darling. So I
understand your question of the, you know, box sales, but
(09:53):
I do think there's enough drama that people are curious
why I got such a bad review, because that's why
I would see it, because I'm like, I loved the trailer,
so I'm curious on how she fumbled the bag so
hard that I'm willing to go see it and see
how she fumbled the bag. It feels like if, like
this is a movie critics would like if it was good,
(10:13):
critics would love to be like I think people were
rooting for it, but they were genuinely rooting for it,
and I think you know I mean. But it's hard
to follow such a big like opener, you know, when
you like your first movie was so good, your second one,
your sophomore movies, sometimes a bomb and the life. That's
the blank check. I am not given this the light
(10:36):
year guarantee that it's going to tank, because I don't know.
I'm just curious to see if it we we will
be following and paying attention to whether it goes twenty
million and its opening weekend. Let's take a quick break
and we'll come back and talk about more scandal. And
(11:07):
we're back Alex Jones. Let's talk about this dip shit.
He's been in Connecticut this week in preparation for his
appearance in court. It's another case where the parents of
the child murder victims, who he claimed were crisis actors
and whose lives he, you know, had just been ruined
(11:30):
and he continued to like play in the ashes of
their lives, like and just do the crueler sh it. Ever,
he's getting sued even more for what he did there,
and apparently it's not looking good. I mean the whole
case hasn't been looking at the whole trial for him
has been, yeah, looking pretty, pretty devastating, which is, I mean,
great for the general population of people who believe victims. But, yeah,
(11:55):
he's set to appear in court for the first time
on trial, speaking and he's still talking ship and I
can't wait for him to burn down. You know, I'm
sick of seeing it's not a real trial. This is
a show trial, literal, a literal kangaroo court, like a
literal kangaroo court. It's just so I mean, the delusion
(12:20):
that he lives in is or, in general, you could
say a lot of white people with too much money
in power, like the delusion that they've created for themselves
to be able to go into a court of law
and be like yeah, like I truly spout out this bullshit.
It's just, like it's mind blowing to me like that.
The lack of empathy is like sociopathic, you know, like
(12:43):
it's just it truly blows my mind how someone can
just like, I mean it's like trump, you know, you're
just like sitting there and talking out of your ass
and knowing that you're talking lies and people are showing
you like here's the evidence of your lies and you
can just still be like no, but like just taking
out of context and this and the like, just like
bullshit your way through and people still just give you
(13:03):
the time of day. It's just like it. It makes
me sick. It like truly makes my skin crawl. This
whole trial has made my skin crawl. In advance of
his testimony today, the judge on his trial has warned
that all incendiary speech from him will be treated as
contempt of court, which that that quote that I read
in Alex Jone's voice was like him outside of the
(13:25):
court the other day. He's straight up. So I think
he's gonna have a hard time. I'm not being held
in contempt of court, which lovely, love that. Love that
for him, which I'm glad the judge is saying that,
because the parents don't deserve to hear that to their
face over and like they've already heard it so many times.
But I'm so glad that the judge is going to
(13:47):
be more firm in the courtroom for those parents because
they don't deserve to hear that again. Yeah, one of
the parents at one point. Forget what it was, but
like they interacted with one another. I think it was
in the court room of the last trial where he
was basically cleaned out, or not not cleaned out, actually
he was. He was sued and is still so, so
(14:08):
rich because of all the like Dick Pills that he
sells to shitty listeners. Um. But they said something very
reasonable to him and he was like you're a sociopath,
you're get away from me, man, like you're he's truly
one of the worst humans of our lifetime. UDOKA is trending.
The coach of the Celtics, he ma udoka, you know,
(14:30):
rookie coach last year brought them all the way to
the finals. Very promising coach, is going to be suspended
for the whole season, apparently for having an affair with
someone in the Celtics Organization is married to Nia long.
It's very weird. People are saying they're like, must be
more to it than just an affair, but I don't know, man,
(14:52):
people don't be getting suspended, I guess. You know, like
at least for that. Yeah, well, we'll see. I mean
having an affair with the subordinate is pretty like. I
guess the rules in any organization Um, like against the
rules of how you're supposed to act as a human Um,
I hate to see it, because I do. He was
(15:14):
my favorite thing about the Celtics. Um. He just seems
like a cool person and a really, really smart coach.
But yeah, it's a bumber. Like we just don't we
just don't know because we don't have the details. But
I think the implications that it must be something more
are probably off base. But obviously, like, you know, based
(15:36):
in the toxic nous of Um sports fandom, that it's like, well,
nothing wrong with that. You know, it's got to be
a crime. It feels like somewhat irresponsible. Uh, Sports Journalism,
even though sports journalism is the lowest form of journalism.
(15:57):
That's not true. Citizen Journalism exists. So Hey, citizen journalism
that does some good work sometimes. Sometimes there's just a
lot of people on Tiktok and many media platforms that,
you know, just spew lies and call US citizen journalism.
That makes me weary of the ethics of Journal because
Alex Jones Conspiracy Theory Journalism is pretty bad. Yes, exactly.
(16:21):
Like it's like there's so many people out there now
that there's an easier way to have access to a
platform that just say things and they're like put on
a journalist and it's like, did you go to school?
Did you ever take a writing course? I don't know.
Did you take law and ethics? I take on ethics,
second to lowest form of journalism, or its journalism. Um,
(16:43):
Stephen a Smith, you know. But anyways, go listen to
miles and eyes show, miles and Jack Got, Matt Boostie's
an NBA podcast. And finally, anonymous Iran is blocking Internet
access as protesters. There's like a big protest growing in
Iran because a woman was stopped by the police for
(17:05):
not having her hair covered in public. The literal morality police,
like that is what they are, stopped her and she
ended up dead and they're claiming, oh, she just got
sick after we arrested her, but everybody they said as
natural causes. A young woman's death were natural causes, which
is just absolutely absurd. So massive protests, I mean they're
(17:29):
also the morality police are known for mistreating people in Iran. Yeah,
her family is very much stating that they believe she was,
you know, abused and murdered in the custody of the
morality police. But there's been huge protesting among it and
because of that, the Iranian government has shut down all
(17:51):
Internet access to people, especially a lot of this movement
was happening on social happening on WHATSAPP, and they shut
it all down. But, Um, the anarchist hackers group, they
are trying to siphon what's going on in Iran for
the IRONIAN people. It's been pretty damaging to see what's
going on. It's very scary, very upsetting and I really
(18:14):
hope that, uh, there's more ways we can find to
support the Ironian people at this time. But it's also
stated anonymous maybe taken down several state owned websites as well.
So so they're trying to basically get Internet for the
people and Pug up at the states like Internet access,
which and also, I think, showcase what's happening, because they
(18:38):
no longer have access to show what's happening. Yeah, because
buildings are being burnt down. You know, it's like very
the protests have gotten out of hand. Where the morality police?
Are you hurting the citizens going on? So yeah, all right, well,
those are some of the things that are trending. Happy
