thought that was yeah, okay, they were right. Well. In
our third seed, we are joined by a very special guest. Today.

(01:25):
We're sort of creating an unholy podcast alliance of sorts
with this episode. I would love to welcome and it's
my honor to welcome the CEO of Starburn's Audio, Mr
Jason Smith. You know, Starburns the home of such amazing
podcasts like Harmontown with Dan Harmon, Small Doses with Amanda Seal,
soft Spot with Julian McCullough, and pen Pals with a
frequent guest Daniel van Kirk. And hopefully one day we'll

(01:46):
get Rory scoldin. But yes, please welcome Jason Smith. How
are you man? I'm good, Thanks for having me, Thanks
for coming by. How you feeling, I'm good. You know,
this is actually the first time I've actually done the podcast.
Really this time I did uh like a Patreonson of
a video game podcast one and then um, my former
partner recorded me for a bunch of stuff, but we
never actually released it stuff. Yes, is the first time

(02:09):
most anybody has actually heard me speak or maybe even
knows that I exist. So this is a scoop. Yes,
this is a school we you are hearing right now.
This is the voice of Jason's This is the voice
of Starboards Audio. How long have you been involved with
the podcast? Um, almost five years now, and you've never
been like I'm the talk. Um, No, that's awesome, there is.
There have been some urges to do it, but like

(02:31):
then you sit down and you're working with Dan Harmon
or you're working with the Scars or never heard anything
bad about him? Oh never, never, never. He's he actually
is like one of the most genuinely nice human beings
in the Hawaii world I have met. Yes, I could
attest to that. Yeah, but you listen to these people
and you sit down and you're like, I'm never ever
gonna be able to hit that level. I might not
as well just kind of like stay in the sidelines. Um,

(02:53):
did you ever have like a first Inkland like, maybe
I could do a podcast about this, what would it
have been about? Oh, I still want to do one
where it's not really for other people to hear, but
it's so my wife and I can actually talk. So
I want to I want to do a podcast where
we just sit down and we have a real fight
in front of a real judge, not like Judge Mills
Lanerge Duty, but like somebody that actually judges us, and

(03:13):
have a real fight together in the podcast form, because
I think that we would actually sit down, we'd have
to think about what we're come with it, and we'd
have to listen and we'd have to respond, and then
I want to put it out there so we can't
just fight. So that what couples therapy is? Is it
specifically that? Then that's what I want to That's what
me and my Oh, that's how you use I think

(03:34):
the show we view, not even the show. I think
that's how we view like actual couples therapy, literal couples therapy,
Like that's how we kind of use it. We're like, yo,
we probably need to talk through this. Yeah, then that's
what I want to do. I want to create that
for me, but through this. But I like the drama
of like a courtroom, like a procedural show. Yeah yeah, well,
I what I love about podcast is that you have

(03:55):
to sit here and you have to kind of take
everything and you have to listen. And we don't do
a good job of that all the time. Yeah, and
uh and and so I've always wanted to do that podcast.
Um I Also, my daughter was on Master Sep Junior
as a kin and um so I want to do
a cooking show with her. Oh not nice? All right, okay,
all right, Well, before we get to know you a
little bit more adjacent, you're tricking yourself into spending more

(04:18):
time with your family. I mean, I live that podcast life.
I may not be on the air, but I'm behind
the scenes all day. So if you guys want to
hang out with me, you better hang out with me
over there and work this in a little money too.
Let's exactly. I got to monetize you guys. Come on, Yeah,
here we go. So, yeah, before we get into the show,
let's talk a little bit about what we're gonna talk about.
So you guys know what's coming up today. We're gonna talk,

(04:39):
you know a little bit about I think we already
know this how Trump isn't a leader actually, and it
looks like he's relying on the intelligence community to protect
us because he can't a little bit of culture wars
going on, you know. In the New York Times hired
Sarah Jong for the op ed section, and the right
came and said she's racist, don't hire her. Also talk

(05:00):
about the administration, also saying that it's now I guess
the A. C. L Use job to reunite the families
that they separated. Also just kind of let's just check
in a little bit with Trump World and how all
the lies are going, because they seem to be ramping up.
Also talking a little bit about the new Uh, I
guess Christopher Robin movie that's coming out. That's we're gonna
look into what that man's life was really like. It

(05:21):
wasn't just all honey pots a grown adult man. Yeah,
it wasn't just living in a well. You're gonna hold
onto your hat, billy, because it's probably were going people
we'll see you see, I mean, inject your own content.
Betty does ends up having one to have sex with
and uh yeah, and then also do a little Bloyd

(05:42):
watch because it was getting real for Mr. David Pecker.
But before we do all that, Uh, Jason, what is
something from your search history that is revealing about you
as a person? Oh? I don't know about revealing revealing.
This week, I I looked through my search history and
the only thing that I could see wasn't related to
podcast was what is the protocol for a Montreal strip club?

(06:06):
What is protocol for a Montreal strip Okay, go on, Well,
I was born and raised in Nevada, so it actually
says a lot about me. I born and raised in Reno, Nevada.
I was born and raised around gambling, strip clubs, the casinos,
the whole bet. So when we were up in JFL
this last week, um, somebody invited me to strip club
and I'm like, okay, well, this is weird because dollars
are changed here and you don't want to help people.

(06:30):
I don't want to heelp people. I know the rules
of the strip club in general, but I I really
just was confused. What what does this mean? What do
I do? How do I navigate? Not? But yeah, and
and and so yeah, you know, I am not afraid
or ashamed or I don't think there's anything weird about
going to a club like that. But what I think
it really says about me. I like to be prepared,

(06:51):
even even in a strip club situation. Yeah, I don't
want to act out of school. I don't want to.
I don't want touch where I'm not supposed touch needed
exactly exactly, And so what is protocol? Okay, so you
have to tip the bouncer, So you tip the bouncer
five tin bucks. Don't have to tip the ladies dancing what, No,

(07:12):
you can if you want to, but you don't have to.
So basically giving the tip to the bouncer is the
same thing. So you're giving them a little bit money
and that trickles down to the dancer. It's like a
restaurant thing where they get a pot at the end, yes,
and then that's a fancy restaurant. And then the main
thing is they all have the v I P Room stuff,
so they still push the v I P at you.
That's where the money is being and and so it's

(07:33):
the same. It's basically the same thing. It's actually cheaper
with and with the Canadian dollars where it's at, it's
really a reasonable Yeah, and we're worried about Donald Trump
taking the economy um. But but yeah, but then there's
then the other weird thing that's different in at least
in Montreal and maybe hopefully not just to the script
clip by Matt so I'm not speaking out of turn,
is you can touch and that is bizarre. Yeah, anywhere

(07:55):
that there's not clothing covering, right, I mean anywhere, Yeah,
which is not necessarily what It's very much like you
touch them and get your arms broke. I know exactly
where my hands go on the on the on the
side of the chair. So that's what we've learned, and
that's um. And then I also learned that they don't
spray near as much perfume on themselves as American So

(08:17):
it's very much just like you smell all the other
people that have also, so you smell a lot of
black ice air freshener from the uber right over. Exactly
is that preferable? I don't No, No, it's definitely just
like a like a steady boy. There's a lot of dancing.
I mean you go up there and dancing. That's a
lot of work. Those those are strong. But that that
means what that means the hormones are coming out exactly. Uh,

(08:41):
what's something that is overrated. The new Venom trailer and
in fact, Venom, I think it's a superhero in general
is very overrated. Guys, you're pointing out my Spider Man tattoos.
I'm a big fan of Spider Man. Venom is in
my mind the worst of his villains Rogues Gallery, um,
and the new movies. I don't care. You just can't

(09:01):
make that character interesting to me. And I don't like
the way he talks because he talks kind of like
a puppet like uppet because there's no lips on him
right right, right, And it's just it makes me crazy
every time I see it. And my friends are like, oh,
it looks good as it's not and it won't be.
And I don't want to get my hopes up for it.
And if you figure got Away, maybe, but if you
could direct it, how would you do it? Um? I

(09:23):
would get rid of the whole Eddie Brock stuff and
go with the Flash Thompson stuff. Like so for a
long time Venom was like connected to Flash. Uh. I
don't know how I'm nerdy to get But Peter Parker's
friend from high school after he's in the military because
he had gone paraplegic and so they did a whole
bunch of like he became a good guy but kind
of a mercenary. Great, great set up. It was just
a lot more fun. It made sense. It's not you

(09:44):
know that I'm just the weird villain. Yeah, he's afraid
of sounds and fire like. He's the easiest feeling to beat.
You get a match, a cigarette lighter, and that guy's done.
You have to deal with this guy just like light
a cigarette and the metallica exactly exactly, you know. Yeah,
he's one headbanger away from just like disappearing down the drain. Right,

(10:04):
It's just like, I'm gonna go, what's it's underrated? I
thought about this a lot. Crocs? Yeah, all right, So
last year, um I moved into the Starbourn's audio offices
and we got got it all set up, and now
I just lived there forever. I pretty much. Yeah, you know,

(10:26):
between crocs and sleeves, I think both are very under overrated.
But what ended up happening is there's a joke. One
of my my co workers of the of the company
I was left, got me a pair of crocks and
I was like, ha ha ha cron I put him
on one day I just sitting in the office, slid
him on without shoes, with with or without socks, with socks.

(10:46):
Feet are comfy. Yeah, I can walk around. I could
take slip those suckers off when I need to put
them back on. Oh oh my my, my feet are cradle.
I don't care what anybody says about it. They're beautiful,
beautiful things. And my feet have never loved me more. Yeah,
it's the sensation of a crowd. I remember the first
time I wore him, my dad had him, and this
was maybe ten years ago, and like this is when

(11:07):
the crocs first came out, and they really had the
worst rep like people like dude, really like those weird,
crocky things. And then I put them on walked and
I couldn't believe. It was one of those moments where
I had to feel like I had to keep up
my hatred of it, but the truth was in front
of me. The truth was on my feet. These things
are comfortable as ship and I don't know what to do. Yeah,
that's exactly how this around the office I have. And

(11:29):
they're they're gross too. They're ugly and camouflaged their camera
crocks and there's like fur inside them. There's no reason
that they should exist. We have three people in the
office now that that rock the same camera crocks, and
not because we knew about each other. We discovered each
other together, all rock and camera crocks together. Like the
thing some guy who was over you know they have
like one of those car wash services that's like, uh,

(11:51):
you know online, so it just shows up at the office. Yeah,
he's rocking the same camera like he's like, yeah, slipping
it out of the you know, the cars. It's easy
because like, yes, yes, I'm gonna preach that croc life. See,
we need that crop, we need that crocs. Bunshi Billy,
How what's your take on crocs? I mean, I'm for
anything that you're comfortable with. I tried that thing with
boots a while ago because they look good, and everybody

(12:12):
was some boots and then I'm wearing for like a
month's stright. And then I put tennis shoes on to
go on a flight, and I was like, what am
I doing? Yeah right, wait, croc boots No just like tennis. No,
Like no, I was wearing boots because they look good
because you always with like pants and stuff, people are
like this is like a person that cares about himself.

(12:32):
It's like some illusion because I don't. And then one
day I put tennis shoes on. I was like, well,
if I truly care about myself, I would just wear
these tennis shoes everywhere. Like I'm wearing flip flops right
now because we're on a podcast, not just because you
don't care about yourself. Yeah, And I just haven't moved
to crocs yet because I know myself enough be like, oh,
I'm not coming back. It's like why I haven't flown

(12:54):
private ever. It's like because I can't own a private jet,
so I don't want to know what The crocs are
a little more tainable, you know, I know, but it's
it's still that it's a threshold. You'll be like the
venom of crocs were just started to it. He was like,
someone gave him crocs right right now, this is bullshit.
And then you put him on. He's like, this is
my life now right. My daughter and I fight over

(13:14):
my crocs, and she's she's fourteen and she's got no comfort.
They no comfort. She doesn't care. She's like those my crocs.
I mean she's fighting like, let me crocs dead. Oh wow,
Not like dad, get rid of the crocs when you're
taking me school. It's the exact opposite. It's I want
those crocs all right, Well, crocs, holler at us and Jason.
You know, we've got some got some good testimonials here.
And finally, what's a myth that people just just get

(13:37):
wrong about what's going on in the world, that you
know that they're getting wrong, you know, a deeper truth
off like Trump's like doing. All right, Um, I thought
about this one. I want too. Okay, everybody plays those
slot machines. I thought would bring some Marino back in. Okay,
that's all an illusion. You're not playing anything. Those slot
machines are bullshit. Basically, the way slot machine works is

(13:57):
all those spins have already been spun. You're just pushing
a button to get reveal and answer. Like there's a
big sheet of all that stuff sitting in the back
office somewhere because they have to report all that stuff,
right and so like all those mega millions and stuff.
So when you push the button, all that spinning is
just it's pre scripted. It's glitter. Oh, it's just all glitter.
They know they don't not only know it before you've

(14:18):
spun or put the quarter in. They've known it for
months before that thing, even that went out into the world.
So like, there's no such thing as a hot streak.
There's no such thing as any of that stuff. It's
all imaginary. You're you're basically just paying somebody, and instead
of it just going win lose, you're just paying for
that exact Wait, but don't people Well, so what happens
when people win? That's just because it's pre scripted basically.

(14:40):
So if anything, those people are just lucky that they
were enough people spun it to get to the point
where it actually pays people walking by for a long
time and then just one dude finally goes you right,
it's exactly like just being the million customer without knowing
where you are and that you here's a bunch of money.
It doesn't matter how much change you put in. It
doesn't matter how many how many times you spend. There's

(15:01):
no warm upper clothes. That's why, like the ones on
the end are always the most, they hit the most.
It's because they use the most. Got you yeah, so um, yeah,
it's just one of those things. Just No, those slot
machines have been preordained because they know that because people
cheat and like we'll try and break the machine, and
so they can actually look back and go, nope, this
wasn't supposed to hit for sins. Wow, Well that's why

(15:21):
I play black jack, that's right, you know, because that's
right in front of me, and I can use a
little bit of skill. Slots are fun if you just
like to just sit there and I like to people
watch in the penny slash, like a hundred bucks and
you a hundred dollars, or the penny slots you'd play, Yeah,
you can win money, like if you win like fifty
bucks real quick, and then you just pull it out
and then you can play fifty dollars the well and
you can get i mean the drinks. The person making

(15:43):
the drinks is making them just as strong in the
penny slots as they are on the right right, like
the whale tables for yet perfect Well, I'm pretty stoned
a lot of times in casinos, so I'm just like, well,
what's happening? Right, You're like, I need to sit down
and I'll just press this button for a little bit
because I can't count to twenty one, and then I
can go win money playing blast. There you go how
you win exactly single deck. You can do you like,

(16:05):
single day if it's just you and the dealer. Yeah,
the money pretty quick. Yeah yeah, if you find the
right dealer and you get on the right streak. That yeah,
that's something I do not know how to count cards,
I swear. Oh man, No, you don't tell him who's
technically illegal either. You just quote unquote frowned upon. It's
frowned upon you beating us, and welcome to gamble talk

(16:27):
with your host gamble or uh so, let's get you
into talking about That's exactly what my friend Dylan used
to call me when I used to bet to big Gamble. Yeah,
because all we're trying to do is get to the bar,
and it's like listen, gambler. Yeah, from that famous Simpsons
episode where it took over Marge's brain. Uh so, let's
get into the show or I guess news. Whatever is
going on? So Trump? Oh man, So obviously we all

(16:50):
know that Russia had it out for the United States
in the sixteen election, and you know, by Putin's own admission,
he wanted Donald Trump to win. So yesterday, during the
right before the Daily Briefing, there was a parade of
cabinet officials came out to sort of show a united
front against the threat of Russian election meddling and cyber warfare,
kind of because John Bolton started off by just kind

(17:11):
of saying a bunch of bullshit about like, you know,
Trump is the toughest president who has ever been tough
to a Russian ever, and then he sat his sad
muppet ass down. Uh. And then we had people like
Kirsten Nielsen, FBI Director, Chris Raid, Director of National Intelligence
Dan Coates, General Paul NAKASONI, who who is the head
of Cyber Command. They all basically had the same message,

(17:33):
which is sort of like Russia fucked with us, is
fucking with us and will continue to funk with us,
and we will probably do something about it. Now. Each
person had a little bit of a different take, Like,
I mean, Paul NAKASONI was pretty straightforward. He's like, this
is not gonna fly, and we're like, you know, we
have a directive to address this now. I don't know

(17:54):
if that means that the president himself has said, hey,
you can take the break off and now you can
use everything at your disposal and your cyber arsenal to
counter this and launch an offensive attack that didn't happen. Yeah,
who knows. I mean, I don't know, but it's very
clear that they were also showing sort of themselves to
be like, look, we're in a tough spot where we
know what's going on. We're trying to help, but we

(18:15):
can only do so much without the fucking commander in
chief actually telling us, you know, it's time to act. Uh.
And it's just really unsettling to see that all these
people who are like the spy chiefs and people whose
business it is to know what's going on in the
world saying like, hey man, something bad is going to
happen and we don't have the commander in chief leading us,
I mean objectively, if we're looking at this objectively and

(18:37):
not with you know, this is our team biased. Pretty
strong move from Mr Putin to bring our commander in
chief out and parade him out and be like, hey,
I have control of this dude, So anything you guys
try to do, I'm gonna see because he's gonna tail me. Right.
So it was like he was like when everybody was

(18:58):
reacting and he'll think you whatever. I was like, no,
this is he's saying a lot more than he's saying, here,
you guys, because like what do we do, right, because yeah,
he was sort of like, yeah, I wanted him to win.
Look at him right there, and we just talked for
two hours and nobody to know what we talked about.
Translator who you know, I'm good at poisoning people. That
that's my thing. So I'm just saying, well, so, so

(19:22):
what you're saying is he's basically denying the reality. Like
these guys are all saying, hey, this is real, this
is real, and and they're just basically saying, but we
can't do anything until the president actually acknowledge that. They're
saying that they can, but they're but what they're saying
is like, of course we're gonna, like we formed a
task force. We're gonna do what we can, but you
need you know. What they're saying is they're saying, listen,

(19:43):
we can try some stuff, but it does have to
go through this dingbat and we don't know if he's
telling them what we're about to do. And it's like
the ineffective complete like an idiot coffee filter where all
the stuff just get stuck right there exactly. It's like
the end of the cigarette that's just collecting all the
tar and then it tweets. I mean, could you just

(20:04):
imagine like after nine eleven, like if George Bush just
like stayed in the cut, and then you have like
cabinet officials being like, hey man, America is gonna be
all right. It's like, hold on, where the fox the president? Like,
where's the fucking leader? Well, Daddy Bush has always been
the only one since like every ex president always has
the option to get the security stuff every day, and

(20:25):
the only ex president who ever want it was Daddy Bush. Well, yeah,
you know, yeah, I think, yeah, it's like him checking
the paper every more and I see what's going on
in the world. I just can't quit that intelligence life.
But I think that sounds a lot about who he is.
And then I'm sure his son is like, no, I
don't want that anymore. He's like, I want to buy
a huge aquifer in Mexico and paint my pictures. No,

(20:48):
I was a puppet. I kept saying that, do you
think this will affect the ending decreed to I hope so,
because I really hate for politics to play out in
my Yeah, yeah, yeah, my rocket movie. We'll see what happens.
I mean I mean Ivan Drago's kid looks pretty tough,
looks really tough and trailer. No I have in Drago

(21:08):
and just grabs or Creed. Yeah, no, he's with me.
Now he's with me. Sorry, there's the Rodersham just watching
all this with like a total different look at it
than everyone else, like this is a nightmare. Yeah, or
the yeah, or like Ivan Drago somehow just yeah works
a deal out with Creed to take a fall, like
in the sixth round and like all right, that's a
good man, good boy. Uh So, moving on to the

(21:30):
culture wars, The New York Times is showing everybody how
cool of a publication they are. So they hired Sarah
John to write you know, some some op eds and
stuff for them and enjoying that editorial board. But the
problem here is that she made jokes about white people
on Twitter a while back. So the alt right and
the conservatives are coming out full force and being like

(21:52):
she's race And the problem here isn't that the New
York Times fired her. It's that they acknowledged their cries
of racism as if they were valid in any fucking
way and put out a statement about like, yeah, you know,
there's bigotry like on all sides, and and we got
to do something and you know she'll never say anything
like that again. Okay, Yeah, well look, I mean here's

(22:13):
the deal. They have to be victims in order to
sort of really get their outrage machine going. And you know,
like this whole idea of when people of color like
talk about white people, you know, that's a way of
talking about the power structures that already exists that we're
pushing back against. It's not the same as saying like, oh,
like these black people deserve to get killed by the

(22:34):
police or whatever. It's that's very different. So again, there's
this whole thing where we see constantly that the right
sort of weaponizes this faux outrage to try and get
concessions from people who are actually objectively not doing anything wrong.
But you know, like but they also have problematic characters
on their editorial board, like Barry Weiss, who's just so

(22:55):
out there. I mean, read any number of her opinions
and they are from planet like fucking unbelievable. But yeah,
I think this is just a growing trend. So this
week this was the latest scalp I think that right
wing Twitter tried to claim in the sort of like
I can't believe they said that, and like they are
actually the racists for calling out racist. It is a

(23:16):
weird to me. What it boils down to is like
a power thing where there's the the and you know,
you can see it in every aspect of life, small
town life too. You know, this bullshit, but it's like
that some people know how to handle power. They understand like, oh,
I'm in power now. Some people are gonna say some
ship at me because of that, that's part of the responsibility,

(23:39):
and some people don't know how to react back to it.
And as white people, we are the majority, so people
get to say ship to us. Right, that's part of like,
you know, not like being able to go to cops
and ask for directions. Right, I think this person at
my pool has socks on and you can't get the ship. Yeah,
it's like that's like a trade off where there is

(24:00):
like that's how the world actually works. And if you
want to acknowledge like that, yeah, but you're you're in
that minority of people who are at least aware of
how sort of structurally coming to understand that I am
part of a minority of that majority. Yes, I am
coming to understand that. Yeah, it's just this is like
the most frustrating thing for me right now, like, especially

(24:22):
when it comes to comedy and all of this stuff,
Like you can't equate two things together like this. You
can't say that, like actually saying like white lives matter
and all that bullshit. It is the same as somebody
making a fucking joke who said I can't watch Breaking
Bad because it's show about white people whining. That's like
a thing they cut out. I understand. It's incredibly silly

(24:43):
and and I don't know how to like I can't
even look at anymore the stuff that they're trying to
do to Michael and black you know, the stuff that
did You can see any of the stuff that went
on at uh at GFL with what's the that YouTuber
character calls Southern moms Southern Mama. Yeah, it's the original
premise too, Yeah, super original and stolen from dot Fond,

(25:04):
stolen from you know, and uh, but he gets up
there and he just dies. Right, it was the worst
that it was a Diarrheames's being kind to what happened. Yeah,
and it was bad, But to end it off and
just go, oh, you know, comedy is a place for laughing,
and that's what I brought you. It's not a place
for to talk about race or sexuality and then kind

(25:24):
of walk off stage and then called Dulce precious and
are you fucking kidding me right now? It's just dumb insulated.
I mean, I do a bit, and I just did it.
Across the South where I was, the people asked me, like,
what's the worst part of the South, And I'm like,
Alabama before they finished that question, and then they without
a doubt they're used, like what about Mississippi, and like, well,

(25:45):
it's not Mississippi's faults the education system there's really bad.
They don't know him better. I did that in Mississippi
and got applause and like that he's done the research,
which and then I did that in Birmingham and I
was like, Alabama, they know better. They don't give a ship.
I did that in Birmingham and got applause, which is
not what you're going for at all. I was like,

(26:06):
I was trying to shame you guys, like, yeah, we
don't give a but it is that kind of that's
what you're what's what's this thing, this this assumption that
you can equate two things, like he has any right
to decide what comedy means can be about, especially after
all these people came out and killed it talking about race,
talking about talking about things, you know, sexuality, race, race
and sexuality, and then some like over here deciding what's

(26:29):
funny from YouTuber that's not even a stand up um.
And it's the same thing on Twitter that all this
stuff is the you know this this group of people
trying to equate two things that have nothing to do
with each other, that have no business deciding what's right
what's wrong. Well, and part of that too is that
thing of when when anybody doing quote unquote art and
they're critiqued, and their response is always like, well, I

(26:51):
made this much money and I sold this meaning tickets, right,
that's not what we're that's not the critique. We're critiquing
the bullshit you're doing, right, or the stolen part or
whatever it is. And D fifty thousand last weekend you're okay,
and that's fair, But I mean, what do you this
is not what we're talking about. That whole thing with

(27:11):
the fastest growing comedian in history, I don't know if
I know what that means. Is that that's what the
same guy, that's what he was on. The fastest grow okay,
in American history, in American history. I don't know. I
don't know how you equate any of that stuff, and
I don't know that you could measure it back in
the day. But yeah, right, but then you know, you
start looking at you know, twin, I don't know he

(27:34):
rose as fast as you could considering how long it
took books to get from place to place and that
horse exactly. But but but when you start talking about
this lady making problematic jokes, she made jokes. This is
why Twitter has to go away. Twitter has to go away,
or or we all have to just make like a pack,

(27:54):
like a written pack, like we will not charge anybody
for the bad jokes they made ten years ago. We
all swing right as people, as human beings and as comedians,
as professionals, we all take big swings and they're not
always gonna hit. And that's the whole point, right, If
I had to hold myself accountable for everything I've ever
said as a joke to somebody that didn't hit, versus
what did, I couldn't leave my house and they're gonna

(28:17):
shut you in the head yeah, if that was, like
if you held people accountable for jokes, like you held
them accountable for truly terrible things that we don't hold
people accountable for, like destroying people's last financially. That's the
thing that happens every day, and it's I think a
lot some of it may be a symptom of misplaced
anger because we don't have those avenues right now to

(28:40):
be like, oh, of course change this. Yeah, well well
now we're like, well, these comedians and we apologize a
lot comedians because we just want people to be happy.
So when people are like, hey, you said this, like
after a show, usually like, well, it's you misunderstood what
I was saying. I'm not going to apologize for what
I'm saying. I wanna apologize for hurting your feelings because

(29:00):
it's not what I intended and people don't get that,
and that's that's exactly fair. And but that's the thing,
Like what you're saying as a joke, there may be
some rings of truth in there, and there may be
some parts of that, but people like this all right
kind of group. You know, what they're saying is what
they believe, you know, and that's that's the thing. You
can't you can't equate those two things. And unfortunately, because

(29:21):
it just lives on Twitter, all of a sudden, everybody
who's ever made a fucking joke is automatically that person
as opposed to this person that clearly states like I
hate white people right right right, And they're like, oh no,
these are the same. Yeah, that's that's the problem, and
and and and until we can either just go okay,
let's erase all this stuff or take a step away
from it, we're gonna end up fighting these dumb battles

(29:42):
where people try to compare two things like they're the same,
that are totally incomparable. And I think that's part of
I think the feeling on the right too, is that
they're seeing that like liberal or progressive thought is sort
of like the preemp like people just sort of gravitate
towards that. And when those people have such sort of
scathing critiques of how ignorant they're a Indians are, their
only way to like to fight back is sort of

(30:03):
be like, well, how do I take this person down
by any means necessary, even if that's through some kind
of you know, just really weak argument, whether if you
examine the far left or the far right, they're very
similar in what they want fundamentally, which is just people
to do what the fucking want to want them to
do without any you know, pushback at all. That's what

(30:25):
either one like you can't say this or you can't
say this like saying. I'm still to the point, and
I grew up in the in a small town in
the South where I heard all kinds of ship growing up.
A lot of it confused me because it was just
white people. So I was like, I don't understand where
the hatreds come from. It's just the other white people.
So it's still confuses me. But I still come from

(30:47):
the point where everyone should be able to say whatever
they want whenever they want. That's fine. It's when they
start legislating or when they start encroaching on your ability
to have your rights, that's when it's a problem. Right
If it's like that's where even the left and I
get in trouble because of my accent, because and I'm like,

(31:09):
hey to the left, like, yo, just chill on saying
what people can and can't. Let them say whatever. That's fine,
you can. You need to let them say whatever. When
you're telling anyone, they can't say something. That's when they're
gonna be like, well, now I need to do something, right.
That's where the argument I think right now is we
need to pull that back and be like, let them
say whatever the funk they want to say. Fine. So

(31:33):
I guess in that sense, if people have the platform
to sort of get more and more people on board
or too, to obscure discussions about race or things like that,
do you feel that there's no danger to that. No,
there's always a danger, but there's a danger to being alive.
And that's the point that both sides are we we
aren't addressing, is that one side is like everything is

(31:55):
dangerous and the other side is like everything needs to
be safe where it needs to be somewhere in the middle,
because that's with the balance, and there's no balance right now,
just extremes, just two extremes going like and then there's
a lot of people and there's a ton of people
in the middle going like, both sides need to chill,
and we're not being heard in the middle because as
soon as we say something, you're like, well, you're a moderate,

(32:17):
you don't believe this, and this you're like, no, no,
all of us can't exist, right, we don't have to
kill each other. Yeah, yeah, yeah, well that's an important
thing to think about. With that, let's take a quick
break and we will be right back. And we are back,

(32:39):
so let's just get right into all of this more news.
So yesterday, the Trump administration laid out an argument basically
in front of a federal judge saying that the government
shouldn't be responsible for finding the over four hundred parents
that were separated from their children at the border and
who are deported and are no longer in the United States.
So they're saying, oh, you know who should be actually

(33:01):
responsible is the a c l U. Because they're suing
us and on behalf of these parents, so they are
the ones. It should be on them to fucking find
these people that we deported, even though we misled them
to say like, hey, if you if we deport you,
like we can just you know, we can get you
back with your kids and you'll be all good. I Mean,
I've always said if I could just shed all these morals,

(33:22):
being a billionaire would be so easy. Oh yeah, you'd
just be such an easy rise to the like to
the top. You just don't care about other people. You
couldn't make money just putting people in cages. And this
is the same argument that my daughter uses with anything
around the house, like she will destroy a bunch of stuff,
and they go, well, it's not mine, that's not my
my job. You clean it up. Your job is to

(33:43):
take care of the from of after. And she's just
like littered it with bullshit, like he's just using these
things like I've made the biggest mess and I've separated
these you know, yeah, they're not my kids, right, And
also if you're so worried about it, why don't you
do somebody idiot and I did kind of yeah, But
again it's just them. They're really just again trying to
absolve themselves of any responsibility for this shameful, horrific, fucking policy,

(34:09):
despite them having all the fucking resources to actually put
these people back together. Like I think someone like some
commentator was like, well they can, you know, they can
probably raise money through go fund me, can raise probably
a bunch of doing some funds. It was a fund
the government was as as the o G government was like,
let's put in money to like help each other just

(34:31):
in case. It's the fastest growing government in history. Yeah,
and yeah, like DHS Secretary Kirson Nielsen, she was saying,
you know, like all the time that all the all
the parents they had the option to be deported with
their children. But there have also been administration officials who
also said that like around of parents that were deported

(34:53):
by themselves, they didn't leave any record that they actually
consented to leave their kids behind. So this is just
all part of the awful, awful ship that's happening, but
also contributes to more chaos in this administration. And you know,
it's it's just it's unbelievable how many fires we try
to put out simultaneously, and then we're immediately distracted by

(35:14):
a new understanding that this is like one of the
shittiest things I've ever heard in my life. How do
we help? Yeah, the options are to help, honestly, give
our money to help the groups that are trying to
legally fight this and put families back together. But honestly,
the biggest thing is focusing on like what it means
to have these people in power on the right or

(35:34):
the left, whoever it is. But mostly, if we're looking
right now, I think a lot of is identifying who
is doing this where the money goes, and making it
very clear who these people are and when's most of
these people do more than what they do best is
they camouflage who they are and what they're actually up to.
It's all these vague companies or this stuff out of here,

(35:55):
geo political blah blah blah, and it's like America first
kind of stuff, right, and then look at it and
you're like, this is pure. They're looking at numbers and
you do this, and you get this, and you get
this many people. You see these stories and like these
Fox News like Citadel Group or whatever, and you see like, oh,
this private prison is gonna shut down if they don't
get more heads, you know, well, and they put it

(36:18):
like the town is going to go under, right, So
these people vote the wrong way because they don't understand
and it's not their fault because and I say it's
not their fault, but it is, and it's it is,
and it's not because it's like, we have to make
money and this is the only money that comes well,
and they're stuck because the infrastructure has been built around
that thing. Like they voted for long enough, so twenty

(36:39):
years and they're too deep to pull it and they
can't move. Why don't you move like to where and
do what? They can't sell their land for nothing? You know,
it's and I think if you look in this instance
specifically too, I mean now that we're realizing that detaining
immigrants has now become a billion dollar industry, right, so
that's really you know, it's the private prison companies that
are really the people who are fully reaping the benefits

(37:03):
of this. That's why they stalled on marijuana legali as
a marijuana Like, well, we need another the other way
to get all these people into this system. Yeah, what
can we suddenly just deem? Yeah? Okay, this well it
looks like again things are just getting I don't know

(37:23):
with with Trump, especially like he's becoming more and more unhinged.
And I think we've seen a shift, especially after that
hell Sinky ship, where like it's only gotten like more blatant,
where like a few weeks ago he was begging people
to ignore reality, like quite literally, it's like na and
everything you're seeing that's that's not happening. Like that's pretty
that's an interesting tactic. Yeah, Like it seems like even

(37:44):
more that the like sort of misinformation, Uh you know,
deception campaign is also ramping up to keep all of
his supporters in this sort of state of blissful ignorance.
And I mean, when you look at the reality of
the situation, he's out here calling the press the enemy
of the people, but the reality is they're doing their
fucking job and merely informing the public. They're not lying.
I mean, at times there are stories that perhaps are

(38:06):
are maybe inaccurate or whatever, but not with the same
malicious intent that a lot of the coverage coming from
the right is. So, you know, he calls him the
enemy the people and does all this ship um, and
you know, so yesterday Jim Acosta was really trying to
get an answer out of Sarah Huckabee Sanders because, as

(38:27):
many people point to, whether it's the U N or
historians are like, saying that the press is the enemy
of the people is textbook totalitarian leaders tactics. One oh
one is just to delegitimize the press. That way, there's
only one form of truth, and that's whatever the leader
tries to create. Mom, did it, oh your house? Yeah,
there was no outside press, just just what she says.

(38:49):
She said, Yeah, so what did you think rain was
growing up? Whatever? She said it was that day. Still
I have to call her rarely. Right, It's like the
water boy. Yeah, he's like that electricity. So yeah, so
so Jim Acosta, Jim Acosta really tried to at least

(39:14):
give Sarah hub Sanders the chance to walk back, you know,
the President's claim that, you know, this is a very
dangerous tactic to be employing. And just listen to this
interaction from yesterday. For for the sake of this this room,
the people who are in this room, this democracy, this country,
all the people around the world are watching what you're saying, Sarah,

(39:34):
and the White House for the United States of America.
The President United State should not refer to us as
the enemy of the people. His own daughter acknowledges that.
And all I'm asking you to do, Sarah, is to
acknowledge that right now and right here. I appreciate your passion.
I share it. Um, I've addressed this question. I've addressed
my personal feelings. I'm here to speak on behalf of

(39:54):
the president. He's made his comments clear. I mean it
just she sounds like a l versed in therapy shitty
partner breaking up with like in an argument where it's
like no you cheated on me. I caught you in
our bad and she's like, I'm sorry you feel that way.
I hear you, I hear what you're saying, and I
can understand, Like if I think that's what happened, yes,

(40:18):
where you're like, you're doing it right, you're having sex
right now. No, No, he's test driving, interstaying why that
would make you feel that way, But that's not what's happening. Yeah. Again,
That's why I'm like, not sure why we even need
to cover these press briefings anymore, because all that happens
is that Sarah Hukby Sanders goes up there just lies

(40:39):
and tries to splain away all the nasty dumb ship
the president says or does, and it's just a big
gas lighting session. There's nothing really ever value that truly
comes out of those briefings, aside from more controversy. It's
just more like, well, the thing that came out is
now she's trying to say that he didn't mean what.
There's never like, oh, wow, we found out some truth
today from the briefing. Didn't she just say I agree

(41:00):
with you, you're absolutely right, but I don't. It doesn't
matter what I say, it's just what the President told me.
And then it's kind of what she's been saying for
a long time, like listen, you guys know what's happening here,
and this sucks for everybody, Okay, but this is but
this is what the President said. Yeah, and and understand,
I am starting to understand how shitty this is. But
my dad, you guys know who my daddy is. So
I grew up with this and I don't understand how

(41:21):
wrong it truly is. And even though he's a bass
playing fool that it's so weird. I'm like, oh, well,
it's church. It makes me a shame to be a
bass player. So they love this sort of narrative of
like the media so so mean to us and all
this other ship. And the GOP like put a tweet
out about how they have these quote unquote studies that

(41:44):
quote unquote prove the media only covers the negative aspects
of the administration or whatever. But these fucking things are
hardly scientific. Like one of them just sort of added
up all the times there was a mention of a
Trump policy and whether it was positive or negative. So
if it was stuff like the trauma, that is uh.
And and experienced by families that are separated or children

(42:04):
that are separated gets a negative score, and then they
say that like rather than coverage, that could read that
the trauma that illegal immigration causes Americans. Like so everything
is just about flipping the script and just looking at
just the ship in the total upside. It's fun. It's
just fun every day. It's like when I can't wait

(42:25):
to when people are like, hey, what was living during
the Trump times? Like I'm like, remember nine eleven, it
was like four years of that day. Just like every
it's like when you woke up and you're like, wait,
what happened? Oh my god, what's gonna happen? Just four
years that every day. That's not good they did. I
didn't know we could do that. You can't, Okay, Well,

(42:46):
the same thing with the rallies to like I'm not
sure why we send not we but I don't understand
why networks insist on sending these full teams to cover
these rallies. All they are are is just Trump going
up there, staying on script for like five minut it's
and then just but in just inciting the crowds and
ship like there's no there's no money in solution. There's

(43:09):
it's all conflict. And I don't even think it's like
that grand design thing that people some people think it is.
I think it's in the moment. These producers, they're like,
what's the conflict in this moment? That's what I have
to produce in this package. And then it's just to
get people to watch. In this motherfucking second, Oh my god,
where's that adderall is the kid bringing it? Cool? Let's

(43:30):
do this now, we need this. Okay, let's go here.
There will be drama for sure, And that's what we're
just figure that they needed footage for the History Channel
documentaries when they have to move away from the Hitler stuff,
that you gotta have all this footage. What are we
gonna I was thinking about, like it is that that
that whole generation of of dad's that have just been

(43:53):
watching Hitler for fucking years, and let's do it here.
Let's do it here. I want to see it live
great great grandchildren while be watching the same stuff. That
does be like just sitting there just watching. We're just
watching the old Trump stuff exactly. So they have so
I mean even at these rallies, right, like his favorite
move is to point back at the cameras and go,
you see these people, they're the enemy and blah blah blah,

(44:15):
And clearly, I mean they love that ship. Uh. And
Invincement Man's like, yeah, exactly, He's like, this is all me.
But yeah, you saw even at wilkes Bury, Pennsylvania, where
he spoke last night, there were more Q and On
conspiracy theorists out there. Who are the people who believe
that you know, this this person Q or this group
of people Q, who are anonymously leaving crumbs for all

(44:38):
of these really desperate right wing conspiracy theorists to believe
that all the Mueller probe is really about him and
Trump taking down Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. Oh my god,
what a fucking what a stretch? Wrote that, Yeah, exactly.
So so yesterday at the at the rally, CNN sent
a guy to go talk to them again and like,

(44:58):
you know, these people hook line to get there. They
love this whole anti media narrative. Uh. And just sort
of we pulled a couple of clips from the some
of the Q and On fans at the Trump rally yesterday.
There hasn't been any non evidence yet A major mantra
amongst you went on followers, the press is the enemy.
You guys are you don't believe in the First Amendment.

(45:19):
I totally believe in the first You said the president,
you guys are weaponized. You guys are totally weaponized by this.
You guys are the CIA. I don't know anybody in
the CIA except a couple of people have interviewed over
the years. But webinize what does that even mean? It
like you say stuff that doesn't mean any conspiracy theorist
the terms. I'm weaponized by the CIA, maybe not to
her knowledge, And that's that's really that's unfortunate. You believe

(45:40):
there was a deep state? And what do you think
that deep states do? Do you think they're running this country?
I think they were, and they're petrified now because they're
losing their control. McDonald. Trump's the president, he's running the
country right, Yeah, but he's having to fight against them.
He said he could do it all himself. Everything would
be so easy when he came in office, and he
you think he's fighting with a deep state a year
and a half into his term. I think he's been

(46:02):
fighting since before he was elected. And who was in
this deep state? Who are the people in here? Oh,
I definitely believe that, like the Clintons, the Bushes, the Obamas.
So you think the Clintons, the Bushes, and the Obamas
are running this country as we stand here in the rain. No,
they're trying. I mean, she's not wrong. I just like
that to get out of the house, right Like, I'm

(46:23):
sure that these people have not been outside for a while,
so this is nice to get some exercise those legs,
and yeah, I need a little strategy. It's I mean,
what's funny is like you think she yeah, I don't. Yeah.
In the middle of her you could see her start
to realize that she hasn't talked to a lot of people.
Right right in the middle of it, you could hear
her being like, this sounds a little because especially so

(46:45):
you think that they're running the country right now, She's
like another human being says that back to me, I
can see why that sounds crazy. Versus me using my
confirmation bias while looking at a screen and just reading
text that goes yes, yes, yes, yes TechEd me from
being a little more aware of how bad the situation
actually is. And also, I feel like deep states starting
to seem like analogous with like waning white supremacy or influence,

(47:08):
or they're like, well, now they're scared and they're fighting back.
I'm like, isn't that you right now? Isn't that's what's
motivating you? Is this idea that there was this once
power structure that you wish to flip it on and
be like, well, do you guys want to be in
the deep statement? Well, I mean yeah, yeah, that that
would sound good. I would be in the Illuminati. What's
that game or is there like a specifical type of

(47:28):
like psychological or game theory where you try and put
the person in power to make them sound like they're
the one that's the minority, Like these guys are you know?
Donal Trump is absolutely in power right now. We've got
all his people, the Republicans are controlling everything. But what
is the psychology of trying to convince people that they're
still the minority? Persecution? That's that. It's a lot of

(47:50):
how they get Christians too. It's like they're being persecuted
for their beliefs. And then people are like, well it's fighters.
You know from the state of Tennessee, which is a
volunteer state. Always made me laugh because in seventh grade.
You learned Tennessee history, you have to. And that's when
it hit me. I was like, Oh, we were mercenaries,
that's what that's what volunteers. We were just like, oh,

(48:13):
there's a fight, cool, you know, we're down whose side?
I don't care because as I get to murder for
free and I don't get punished, and you guys are
gonna pay me. That's what we all live in this state, right, right, right,
So it's just motivating those and that's what our whole
country is full of those type of people that that
got that fuck you. So you just motivate them. When

(48:36):
when when the deep state finally goes, what comes next?
What do we invent beyond the deep state? What's like
I think the sub atomic deep state? Ike's got it
where it's the reptilians. Yeah, exactly, shifters. I can get
on board with that too. I mean, I'm down to
just time. Being honest, there's like two percent of me
that it's like, I don't know, maybe there might be

(48:57):
reptilian there is. There's a point where we can all
get on board. We're gonna be like, all right, deep
state done. Hey, can we all agree that we need
to funk up these reptilians. There's some alien motherfucker's running
ship that look like us. Yeah, but then then it
gets tricky when you have to identify them, and then
it just starts danger to everything. We have to admit that. Well,
then the other thing too again that Trump, like one

(49:18):
of his other lies, is really just lying about the economy.
And yesterday we talked about how it's just a good
transition into what we were talking about. Just then, I
just want to acknowledge we went from reptilians to you
going into that needs to be that's called hard pivot.
How good that one pivoting in the paint. So they
one of the things that he always asked to tell

(49:38):
out is the economy and shipped like that. And aside
from you know, the Washington Post has sort of been
tracking the frequency of his false statements. So around the
time the first year, first seven months, he was doing
about four point nine false statements a day. Right now
he's at seven point six. So he says anything from like,
you know, Kim John Oon and I are on the
same page, baby, So nuclear threat over just despite the

(50:00):
fact that we know they are continuing to build missiles
and they don't give a fuck or ship like you
know him saying that the economy has never been stronger,
have incredible success in terms of job growth, even though
annual job growth is under his presidency has actually been
slower than the last five years of Barack Obama's term.
Um so, but it is working because especially when you

(50:20):
look at the soybean farmers, who despite the fact that
they are in terrible shape, they are still like really
ready to fucking ride or die with this president. Uh.
I think this was CBS. They went to go talk
to a group of soybean farmers just to really kind
of get their temperature. It's like, Yo, these tariffs are
really fucking you up, like and you're like on the
front lines of this trade war, and you're cool with

(50:41):
this despite your livelihood being at risk. So this is
just a little bit of an exchange with some of
these soybean farmers. Did you all vote for President Trump?
I did? I did. Yeah, Man, it's definitely to do
with why I support what's going on right now. Do
you support the administration even though you're being hurt by
these retaliatory terror I do. I'm a good American. I

(51:02):
believe that we all have to have to tow the line.
So you're okay with bearing the brunt of these tariffs
if I had my drawers, No, But but am I
willing to take my lumps for the better, you know,
for the benefit of the entire country? Yes, I personally am.
You're willing to weather the storm for a certain amount

(51:22):
of time. But how long is too long? Well the
Scottish and says to the death, Well, well, if you
ask actual Scottish people that live in Scotland, they'd be like, yo, motherfucker,
get your ship stright. Yeah, they're like, yo, don't don't
suck my wrap up with this thinking. Also, I can
give you some insight into the language she was using
was confusing, uh, and that they're gonna keep saying. You say,

(51:46):
whether the storm to a bunch of farmers, that is,
hold your position. They have to. Once they invest in something,
it is a lot longer investment than everybody that lives
in the city or something like that that's getting their ship.
So they are not being completely I don't agree with
most of what they're saying, but I understand how they're

(52:07):
being manipulated and that they have to think that way
of they have to fucking bow in because the winners
coming and then we have to God, we I hope
rain comes and this stuff, and this is how our livelihood.
You have to be strong, yieled in, somewhat stubborn, And
that's how they're thinking. Are soy beans as subsidized as corn? Yeah?

(52:27):
Without I mean not as but it's the same same ship. Yeah,
where it's like it's all solutive. And some of these
people are millionaires and they're not being clear about that
either because they're you got to lean into a little
bit of that stuff too, like they're literally just being
paid by the government. And also like when you look
at Trump has floated the idea of twelve billion dollars

(52:48):
and subsidies to help offset the just trauma of his
dumb fucking trade war, and most of they're not going
to like what we picture when we think of like
a grarian America, Like, oh, like small family owned farm
These are like gigantic operations. Yeah, they're not. So some
of a lot of it's all obscured. It's like, yeah,
I'll use the word farmer, but I'm talking about huge
agribusiness companies that are really reaping the benefits of this

(53:11):
it's more complicated than the media is gonna make it
because it doesn't fit in two minutes to explain. Well,
there's a bad history to how this is being explored. Yes,
substituties and blah blah blah blah blah, and these aren't Yeah,
this is an American gothic loser to dickheads, right, who
have a lot of money. Yeah, And I'm just like, yeah,
well we'll wait for that wait for that check. All right.

(53:35):
No more taxes on our weed, though they're gonna have to.
I mean, we're not exporting a yet, it's not internationally.
You know, hit me up on fed I'll FedEx you
something though. Alright, guys, let's take a quick break and
we'll be right back. And we're back. And I wanted

(53:58):
to talk a little bit pretty quickly about Disney's latest
attempt to sort of sanitize the real life stories behind
their movies. So one of our writers, Jam McNab pointed
out that there's a new, uh, they just new Disney
Christopher Robin movie that's coming out that's about the adult
Christopher Robin who's now like this middle aged dude and
he's like visited by Winnie the Pooh, who I guess

(54:19):
is like real now, not just a toy that he
used to bring. Listen, Like, if you do your life right,
and if I'm doing my right, about forty six, I'm
gonna be able to check out and just do any
of the drugs I've always wanted to do. So yeah, yeah,
it sounds like a guy living his dreams. I don't

(54:39):
know before I've been visited by a series of bears. Fantastic. Okay,
so then this might be more I love it a
documentary to you than anything. But yeah, so, like you know,
the original books and movies is always sort of clear
that the characters were toys, but not these animations, and
the whole point was so just to celebrate the imagination, right,
But this film is really kind of it takes a

(55:01):
turn on how the real life Christopher Robin how his
life was, because he wasn't really saved by Winnie the Pooh.
He was like Winnie the Pooh kind of sucked his
whole life up, like his dad a Milnie or milm
as you pronounce it, used Christopher Robbin's real name in
the Winnie the Pooh books, and by the time he
went to school, like he was bullied because of this ship,

(55:21):
to the point that he literally had to take boxing
classes to defend himself from all the people giving him shit.
Boy named Sue situation like that whole uh Phantom Menace
kid right, Jake Lloyd. Another detailed about Christopher Robin that
probably didn't make it into this film because it's supposed
to be a fun Disney film is that the real
Christopher Robin he married his first cousin, which caused a

(55:44):
tremendous rift in his family to the point where she
refused to see him while she was on her deathbed.
And like this, this is like a really sort of
dark story behind this man's journey. Who refused to his
own mother yea, his own mother because she's like, you
married your wife's like, no, we're cousins now, no, no, no, sorry, Yeah,
that wasn't clear. His own mother refused to see her

(56:05):
while she was on her deathbed because she was so
just disgusted by his marriage. And like this old real
sort of Christopher Robin journey wasn't so much about reuniting
with who he like wanted to distance himself from it
as much as possible, Like you know, like he gave
away his stuffed animals in nine four, like the real ones,
like like without regret. He was just like, please take

(56:27):
these fucking things from me, which I think now are
on display at the New York Public Library. And he
even like signed the rights away to his agent for
like a thousand bucks. But that was in so that's
that's a decent check. But mentally ill. Yeah, Disney's weird
like this, Like they did the same thing basically with
the Mary Poppins exactly. It was all she hated working

(56:47):
with Disney. And I don't know why Disney wants to
rewride everything, like just everybody got along with Disney, was like, no,
it was great back in the twenties. We all had fun,
but everybody hated. Yeah, when he was this sist, misogynistic,
fucking monster. The first time we went to Disneyland, my fiancee,
who is a wonderful little Jewish woman, we walk we're

(57:10):
walking through there, and she is I could see a
Nazi design in this ship, all those hidden Mickey, Yes,
just like and everything has a place, and you see
there's a little bit of fear behind everyone that works.
There's eyes, but it is impressive. Yeah, well it's shout
out to the crazy Manual of Disney. I mean this,

(57:30):
the whole wing of the Pooh thing obviously was just
built to make people about my cry, right, like I'm
supposed to go there and like, oh I lost my imagination. Yeah,
it's and it will. But at the same time, like
I don't understand how they have to make it that way.
They could do a perfectly decent job of that without
deciding to like rewrite this porkas history. Yeah, it's what

(57:51):
do they is it they've got that's their their thing is,
like there's always a happy there's no postmodern I think
it's because they want to sequelize thing, like the whole
thing with Mary Poppins, right, They they're doing a sequel
to Mary Poppins now, and they hadn't have to like
get past the part where the writer refused to let
them do anything until way after she died. So like,

(58:12):
let's sanitize that story a little bit so that come
back and then no one remembers. Yeah, okay, yeah, I
mean she uh evil and designed Yeah. P L. Travers
who was that author? She wasn't even invited to the
premier of Mary Poppins. But like in the film, like
it's like, oh yeah, she was like, you know, she's
like in tears because like she the Disney, the Disney

(58:33):
magic had washed over her and she was so moved
by what happened. But yeah, like and I think her
credit was also really small, So that whole story true
is another yes, sanitizing of history. But yeah, the reviews
of this Christopher Robin movie are pretty bad. It's only
a fifty nine on Metacritic. But like, as Jam points out,
the strangest conceit of this Christopher Robin film is that Pooh, Tigger,

(58:54):
ere and and everybody else aren't figments of his imagination.
And if they're real, then like the whole story falls
apart again because it makes Christopher Robin seemed like a
neglectful dick who forgot about them in the first place
and was like, oh yeah, let me check on these
guys in there are some leaps. I think you have
to make that weird hook vibe to it, right, yeah, absolutely, yeah, hey,
come back, even though you know, let's see what happens well,

(59:17):
and that's heroin, right, That's what heroin does, That's what
the heroin in terms of just always just like come on,
come on, that's what hooks about. I think that's what
it starts with, h because you're hooked just trying to
pull it back in our daily is that guys, the
daughters obsessed with the Demi Lavado stuff. So she sends
me a little it's Disney Heroin's and it has all

(59:40):
the all the Disney princesses with like looking like they're
on Heroin and at the bottom has Demi Lavado and
you're just like, edgh oh that's perfect. Yes, So that's
is it Heroin she's on. Yeah, that's a toughs a
tough one. Yeah. Let's just get it quickly into really
like it. Yeah, let's get into watch really quick. Oh

(01:00:02):
sorry going. I just can say, all right, that's one
thing that brought us all together. It's the Red States,
Blue States. Everybody's doing oxy. Yes, Oh, it's it's and
the saddest I will do the show. And Huntington, West Virginia.
It's the saddest thing to where you're just like, it's
you pull into the town, you're like, what the fund
and they're like, yeah, Dade people are there. Yeah, man,
but don't look. But you know, don't ask the government

(01:00:24):
to help anybody with this. That's what they al used for. Yeah, exactly,
and Dare so Dare get your ship together, fund me
go help me. Uh so, let's do a little quick watch.
So you know, the magazines they were whatever this week,
usual stuff about trying to act like Prince Philip is
dying or you know, Queen Elizabeth fell over when really

(01:00:46):
they just have a photo or picking something up off
the ground. But I want to draw attention to this
story that was coming out about how David Pecker, who
owns American Media, Inc. Who owns all these tabloids that always,
you know, circle the wagons for Trump optically in a
publicity sense, they're starting to distance themselves a little bit
because they're realizing more and more how like they are

(01:01:06):
just entwined in all of his controversy, especially with a
lot of this Karen McDougal's stuff, Stormy Daniel situation. But
it seems like, yeah, they're starting to there. It's it's
starting to hit them a little bit by like dialing
back the Trump material that the circulation numbers are also
declining a little bit. I think one of the things too,
is that we see that because they were caught up
in all this catch and kill controversy where you know,

(01:01:28):
they would buy their damaging stories and then just sit
on them so they never got out. It's sort of
important to point out how why this sort of web
goes like it's just sort of interesting because people noticed
that the Wikipedia page of David Pecker was being like
scrubbed to sort of make his role in a lot
of these controversies like less and just be like, oh, yeah,
and he's a friend of Donald Trump. Nothing about the
National Choir or anything like that. And then so people

(01:01:51):
started looking and they tracked it to IP addresses that
led to William Morris Endeavor's offices here in l A
and W and ME. Is noteworthy because they're sort of
like this connective note between Pecker and Trump. You know,
the agency currently has am I as a client and
was also formally representing the president. And as we all
know Ari Emmanuel who Ari Gold from entourages based off

(01:02:13):
of who that you know, his agency also you know,
often branded the King of Hollywood. He has a history
with both men, and he also, like them, has leveraged
his relationship with David Pecker to kill negative stories about
either himself or his clients. Uh and It's also interesting
to point out that David Pecker is also a longtime
financial supporter of Chicago's Mayor Ram Emmanuel, who was Ari's brother,

(01:02:36):
and Ram used to work for Obama and Trump too.
Is actually was a Ram Emmanuel campaign booster, and like
then he donated like fifty dollars to his mayoral campaign
in twos at artist request. Yes that you went pretty
you know, I mean you got some old Testament stuff
back there and begot this and begot that. I agree with.

(01:02:56):
I mean, the dude that owns the enquire and all
those dudes without a doubt or not good people. But
with all that this person gave this person money, It's like,
that's gonna keep coming out where it's like, oh yeah, no,
not to say that they're in place. It's like a
business decision at this point, like if you're in I'm
not defending it, but I'm just saying to have a business,

(01:03:19):
it's gonna come out like, oh, they gave money to everyone. Yeah. No,
I'm not under under any illusion that that there's so
that gets murky. That's all I'm saying with that, No,
not at all. But it's it's interesting too because I'm
pretty sure. I think it was Ari Emmanuel who introduced
like whoever was doing publicity for Saudi Arabia too? Uh,
the to a m I s. David Pecker, because there

(01:03:39):
was like this bizarre advertisement free issue that was like
the New Kingdom with Mohammed been Solmon on it. That
was like totally just sort of trying to obscure what's
really happening in Saudi Arabia. But again it's just sort
of showing that there's this this connection of like media
and everything that they all have. They sort of rely
on each other to control the optics of any given suation.

(01:04:00):
Oh I think you know well that, like anything, it
just power. Did you get power? You're gonna crait it's
not about money anymore. You realize that we have to
diversify first of all, so you're gonna have to hit
up everything. And the second it really is just about
money and power. Yeah, but what's odd, I guess And
two is you know Trump is so quick to point
out how other people have donated money and how that

(01:04:20):
indicates some kind of allegiance or whatever, when you could
be like you gave money to Chuck Schumer, you give
money to Hillary Clinton. I think that just sort of
weakens that argument for him when he tries to say, oh,
well the wife of this FBI person got money from
like a known Hillary donor after the fact equals this.
It's just like poker, like and if you could just

(01:04:41):
better your odds by giving more bets and more bets
and more bets that you're going to make more money
in the end, and the less rules to where you
can give all that money or you can put a
bet here and put a bet in this name. That's
what all this is that's going to come out, is like, Oh,
all these companies just don't care as long as they

(01:05:01):
have some saying who's saying it and that and preserve
their power. Yeah, right, as long as the lobby gets
what they need, it doesn't matter who's in charge allowing
them to do it. Yeah, they don't give us a ship. Yeah,
but I guess again, Yeah, people just have to realize
there's a lot of these narratives that we believe in
of like what the sides are, when really it's sort
of people are wealthy at the expense of people being

(01:05:22):
We have to I think as a country, have to.
There's a willing delusion. A lot of Americans have about
how we get the lifestyle we have. I don't think
we're a lot of people are willing to admit some
of the shitty, terrible things we have done to afford
this lifestyle. And if you want to keep it up,
there's some ship we have to do. Our last president

(01:05:45):
did all secret with robots rights. Guys. This guy's I
don't know what he's doing and he doesn't either, But
I'm just saying, like, it's shitty, it's less savvy. We
all have to make a change. If you want to
make a change, what's going to happen? To quote j
I think it was Thank you so much. We're bringing
Michael Jackson back into this. Oh well, guys, thank you

(01:06:06):
so much for joining me today. Uh, let's just go
around and tell everybody where. Let's plug some share some
socials or what what y'all doing? So Jason, what's going
on with you? Okay? Well, I after all this talk off,
through all this political talk, I really do want to
bring up one thing that we're doing that's really exciting
to me. Um, we're creating a podcast based more of
a documentary thing, not really a comedy. Hopefully we get

(01:06:27):
some comedians in there to to to talk about it.
But we're actually sitting down with some people in Mississippi
for the Senate race with David Burria is the Democratic
candidate in Mississippi, trying to flip at least one of
those seats to a Democrat. And so we're working with
them right now. Um, right now. It's called Mississippi, God damn.
And we're we're gonna hopefully be able to have that

(01:06:48):
thing out there just in time for the mid terms. Um.
So you know, so we're looking for support on that,
and that's something that you know, we really believe and
we're really trying to work on outside of comedy. Um. Otherwise,
you know, please check out Starburns dot Audio. We have
forty shows going on right now and in a given time,
it's a lot um And uh, like I said, we

(01:07:09):
got the Scars, we got the Harmon, we got Amanda Seals,
Roy Scoville. We just brought on Kyle Knane and his
show Boogie Monster. My buddy Dave Stones on there too,
Dave Stones on there. It's awesome, very very funny show,
both very funny people. We just picked up this new
show called Mormon in the meth Head which you gotta
check out. It's about a former Mormon and a former
Method so they I bet they have similar stories, Jessa

(01:07:34):
and Aaron, and they're they're hilarious. Um, but please please
check all that stuff out and then you can. I
do have a Twitter. I've tried to use it. It's
a oatmeal Johnson. Okay, that's a good one. Yeah, Well
Jason Smith gets taken very fast, very quickly, like that one.
Like that a lot. I'd ask you for a tweet
that you like. But as we talked earlier, you know

(01:07:55):
you're trying to stay off the Twitter because it's a cesspool. Well,
my my daughter tried to tell me things last night,
and so she told me what I should look at.
But then I didn't really understand any of the stuff
that she was telling me. She said that I should
look up first. She said that I that the underrated
thing that I should let you guys know about is
our communism memes. She thinks communism memes are hilarious right now.
She said that I don't know her and her friends

(01:08:16):
are obsessed with it. Um, And she said I need
to look up Shane Dawson, Cody Coe, and Noel Miller
and I needed to avoid anything by m Chamberlin and
the Dolan Twins. Interesting. That's all I know right now.
Shane Dawson a controversy character. Yeah, tell her to check
out a late stage capitalism memes. Those are also very
very good. Yeah, I don't know these fourteen year olds
are looking at why we're talking about communism so much?

(01:08:38):
In my house, Billy Wayne, I am all over the
place right now. I'm about to go out. I'm gonna
be in Manhattan, Kansas, Kansas City, Missouri next week, the
Accidental Comedy Festival in Cleveland at the end of the month,
and oh, Nashville, Tennessee. Uh April eighteen, I'm doing uh
April fucking August. Um. Sorry, I was in Dublin last

(01:09:01):
week and my mind just messed up. I had a
great time in Dublin, Texas. No Dublin, Ireland. Um, that's
fair though, Dublin, Texas. Yeah, it sounds like somewhere I
would go. It's very fair. Um Yeah, what else do
you have a Twitter? My man, Billy Wayne Davis. I'm
just gonna I think what I'm gonna start doing is
the three D gun thing came out and I just

(01:09:24):
searched um three D print this dick and just repeated,
just retweeted, like there's a bunch of people saying stuff
like that, and I was like, this is really funny,
just three D print this dick. So I just went
through and retweeted everybody. So I think that's how I'm
gonna treat Twitter that I'm promote my shows and just
be like, I'm not gonna say anything anymore. I'm just

(01:09:45):
gonna be like yesterday was like a I'm gonna three
three D print your mom and there was like a
bunch of people saying, I mean going back to like
two thousand fifteen. So I was just going through and retweeting.
I was from two thousand fifteen. Upsets now that their
three D print your mom joke us surface after all
these years. They would be like, that's weird looking through
my tweet and never thought of that. That is just

(01:10:06):
a weird retweet. Like I tried to hide that part
of it. That is, yeah, because it's easy to find
you just yeah, you just searched the thing, so yeah,
you can find me there. It was funny. I was
thinking of tweeting something over the weekend of the idea
of the band name Imagine Dragons, where I was like,
what if you did Imagine Dragon? So then I go
on Twitter and I go, I know somebody's tweeted this before,

(01:10:28):
and lo and behold it's you, like two years ago.
