Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to season one oh one,
episode one of Dirt Daily's eight Guys in production of
I Heart Radio. This is a podcast where we take
a deep dive into America's share consciousness and say, officially,
off the top, fuck Coke Industries and fuck Fox News.
It's Monday, September nineteen. My name is Jack O'Brien, a K.

(00:24):
His takes are on fire. His name is O'Brien. He
doesn't know what to do with his hands. He's got
them in the back pockets of his pants. Little Lana
del Rey for that ass, And I'm thrilled to be
joined as always by my co host, Mr Miles. That

(00:45):
seems to be some incent guarantees about the bank I
took in Italy, but I know it's van Gil. No
one contain a laym us canny. You never to be mistake.

(01:07):
And long as this tanks I'm making, there's gonna be
some jack gonna beat the pack. But as long as
I know your time will show, our pid will grow,
and I know mys now will be right here, be

(01:27):
right here. Okay, I'm just stopping it right there because
it's too much and I'm not getting a check. I
should have been his sisters with voices A K, S,
S W B, but I was too old. Uh and
also thank you so much. I already shouted you out
last week. But Ross and Andy in the Morning at
Ross x Andy for that Andy in the Morning. I
don't know how you did it. Are they a radio show?

(01:49):
I don't know. But literally, I'm not taking a shot
at you. It looks like two muppets is their avatar.
There's two muppets as their avatar. I'm not calling y'll muppets.
Definitely taking taking a shot at them, saying they look
like shout out to Mampus though. Well. We're thrilled to
be joined in our third seat by the hilarious writer
Dana Donaldy. Hello, welcome. Yeah, we're excited to have you.

(02:16):
Were huge fans of your writing. You're tweeting, Yeah, I
feel like regularly when we call out our tweets, it's
probably when your tweets every other day. Yeah. And I
think one episode See Fernandez was on and I was
one of my tweets was a tweet that you writen
wrote and he was like, oh, you gotta get David,
And I was like, you know her and he's like, yeah,
she's around, I'm like, where did this person come from? Hell? Yeah,

(02:40):
you manifested here. Yeah yeah, yeah, So welcome, Thank you. Well,
we're gonna get to know you a little bit better
in a moment. First, we're gonna tell our listeners a
few of the things we're talking about today. We're gonna
talk about the climate strike at the end of last week.
We're gonna talk what we know at this early stage.
You might know more, but we're gonna just evaluate what

(03:02):
we know of the Trump whistle blower story. I think
the Havana mystery has maybe it might have been solved.
It's the best theory I've heard so far. Um, you
finally go to sleep at night. We're going to issue
a correction. Millennials are not growing horns on the backs

(03:23):
of their heads, I know off top. Also another correction
right now. Shout out to all the LDS Mormon Zeit
gang members who corrected me on the nomenclature of uh
non pumping penetrative sex that Mormon kids have. It's not
called floating, it's called soaking. I mean, it sounds worse
or whatever, but y'allah, thank you. I'm really surprised that

(03:44):
the amount of people in my mentions are like, it's
really it's actually called soaking. Soaking has like a old
man getting in a tub like house worth vibe to it.
I don't. I don't like it. Floating is much better anyway.
Floating is more whimsical. Yeah, you know what I mean.
It makes sense when you're trying to convince yourself you're
not having sex, therefore disappointing God. Just floating. We're just

(04:05):
floating God's love. Yeah, we're gonna talk about caffe aated yogurt.
We're gonna talk about some early picks for Miles is
Halloween costume. We're gonna talk about Takashi six nine. He's
doubling down on being the most marked for death human
on the planet. The weird politics of the Rambo franchise,

(04:27):
apparently the newest Rambo is just all sorts of problematic.
I mean, we knew from that trailer though, Yeah, I
didn't realize that it was set on the border and
that it was Yeah, I thought it was actually set
in like a South American country or something. But no,
it's what. Well, we're gonna have to go see it.

(04:48):
That's really the boy. Really do need to go see it?
The last one was just like, laugh out loud violence. Yeah,
laugh out loud violence is not a thing that I
knew existed prior to that movie. Well, like early Robert
Rodriguez films are like, yeah, we're gonna talk about Instagram too,
But first, Dana, we like to ask our guests, what

(05:10):
is something from your search history that's revealing about who
you are? Okay, So first of all, I realized that
I've had my UM iPhone on private browsing since like
when I was told to look at my search history. Um.
But when I turned off private browsing, the last thing
I had searched was um what imagined dragons is an
anagram for UM? Because apparently there's like some big mythology

(05:36):
behind it. Well, no, most people think it's bullshit, you swear, yeah, um,
Like most people think it's bullshit, but apparently there's like
a million different um like they claim that there's an
antagram that they will never tell what it is really yeah,
and then the only like everyone's like, maybe it's like
agonizing dreams, but is that what that's like the top?

(05:58):
Where's the Z and imagine drags? Yeah, well I guess
it's spelled in like the English way with an is
it spelled with is dragons is really confusing. What did
you find? Was there anything that was funny because around here, yeah,
we do, honestly, not really. Mostly it's just like the
there's like the Rolling Stone article that's like there's no

(06:20):
meaning to I mean, I guess even they need to
do that because there's nothing deep about their band, which
oh money Rockney Rock on any block. Um yeah, I
feel like then they need to be like it's actually
way deeper, Like it's not just merely imagining dragons. It's
actually there's a whole other world. It's just we're tapping into.

(06:42):
It's a great way to excuse your shitty band name
is to just be like, yeah, it's a it's actually
an anagram for something else. Yeah. Well, and it's the
one everyone jokes about just literally just saying like imagine dragons,
like seriously imagine, seriously imagine. I think it's like a
Billy Wayne tweet that thinking of what is something you

(07:02):
think is overrated? Overrated? I think coffee tasting good is
overrated to me. Um, I don't drink coffee for it
to taste good. And I've never like tried to make
my coffee taste good purely for it's a caffeine delivery
mechanism exactly. Yeah, you should try this. Don't taste at all.
I kind of like, I kind of like when coffee

(07:22):
doesn't taste good, it's like I know it's working, then
then buckle up. I mean, look, I'm not really a
taste person either because I'm not. I don't I don't
drink caffee or I only drink it for the caffeine.
So when I've had when I've been to places where
like I was in Japan and I went to like
a coffee spot where it was like this very mythical
bean from wherever, and like I was gonna be like, oh,

(07:45):
do you have like cream? They're like, oh, we don't
have cream, And I was like alright, full whatever, Like motherfucker,
I paid seven dollars for this little bit couple of
coffee giving me my fucking cream. I mean, that's apparently
like in Japan, you're not supposed to like put your
fish in swy sauce us or they'll give you worse
fish or what do you mean, because it's like consulting
what depends. I mean, if you're dipping it correctly for

(08:07):
your sushi. Maybe the one thing you don't do is
don't put fucking soy sauce on your rice. Okay, get
your ship canceled. All I can think about is that,
do you guys watch Billions? Uh no? Um, there's just
this episode where one of the characters in this like
really like high end sushi because uh, Brian Coppleman or
whatever is really into food, and there's this a whole

(08:27):
lesson on how to eat sushi or not eating all right, Well, yeah,
people are very very particular. It's like, oh, you gotta leon,
don't just dunk the rice in it. Get a little
bit on the fish. It's not meant to taste like
soy sauce is merely meant to enhance the flavor of
the fish in the texture. But then, why does the
most the most high end sushi places sugar fish have
on the white people? Well know they we they it's

(08:52):
for white people. That's as high class as it get.
It's like, it's like it's like a fast food restaurant
for agents. What is something you think is underrated? Underrated?
I think um, Cold Stone Creamery and Baskin Robbins, the

(09:13):
Old school in quotes ice cream places like I do.
I love artists and ice cream, but I think there's
really something about cold Stone, like you can make any
flavor of ice cream you want. I think a lot
of people are overwhelmed by choice, but I love it.
I get get better with twigs on it. Yeah, it's
like crazy, it's so good. And then like I do
think Baskin Robbins is the only on like ice cream

(09:35):
store that has this like flavor like peanut butter, chocolate chocolate,
huge chunk of pete, and I think it was good.
I used to work at a laser tag place for
those people who know the LA area, the valley, particularly
Ultra Zone. If you've ever had a birthday, you probably
went there um downstairs with us with a cold Stone,
And I used to trade the people up there for

(09:57):
like laser tag games in exchange for like the ice cream.
And I used to disrespect myself in front of that
like cold Stone slab because it would just be like whatever,
like we'll hook it up. And I would make things
that didn't taste good, but just like because of the
ability or ambition, and like I remember the third time
I did it, when people was like can I tell you,

(10:18):
like what my favorite thing is. And I was like yeah,
and they like made this like like whatever. The apple
pie Alamo was amazing. One thing underrated at sweet Cream
or cold Stone Cream the sweet Cream ice cream that
they used as the base for the other ship that
shipped on its own. I'm here for it just on.
Is that the main one that they used. Depends on
what the flavor it's like not. It's very nondescript flavor.

(10:40):
It's more like a sweet cream. It's not like vanilla
or anything. So it's really good. Like more places should
have like just so sweet. I think more places do
because I've noticed they have it. I think they have
like a version of it at Jenny's ice Cream and
especially when they had that Listerior breakout did that. This
was like three years ago. I don't mean, but you know,

(11:02):
is cake better when they put the cake better? And
is it like uncooked cake batter? No, it's just a
cake botter flavored ice cream. So it's like ice cream
that tastes like when you eat uncooked cake and then
just twicks just and then twis yeah, and it kind
of like freezes the twigs when iream and so it
was like a very hard consistency. It's good. I like

(11:24):
a refrigerated twigs. Oh yeah, a frozen candy bars there's
no moment. Yeah, I only recently started coming around a
frozen candy bars. Yeah, I uhould be like it's gonna
break my teeth because I'm usually high and I want
to get it fast. Like biting a Snickers I remember
was shocking the first time. You can't trust yourself. But
I like a room tumberture Snickers with the first time
yesterday because I always like keep them in the fridge

(11:46):
and it was not good. It really let me down.
It's too mushy. Yeah, yeah, I can see how if
you're used to the like NuGet, tastes a lot better
when it's like hard. I think, do you taste test? Yeah?
What is a myth? What's something people think is true
you know to be false or vice versa. Okay, I
can think of a good one. So um. I thought
of alcohol shouldn't taste good, either in the same way

(12:11):
that coffee. I don't think it tastes good or like,
I don't think it needs to taste good. I also
don't think alcohol needs to taste good. I think it's
like I love virgin cocktails because it's like really concentrated
like juice ingredients without alcohol. And then right, and it's like,
I mean all good cocktails are like essentially um. I
guess in theory trying to like compliment that like alcohol,

(12:31):
but really it's like how much can you mask it? Um?
And so I also don't think alcohol should have to
taste good. So you're just like it's here to do
a job. Yeah, I like, I love to take a shot.
I love like a vodka water parka water instead of
soda because sometimes um, drinking like fizzy things I don't
know can upset my stuff, like I'm not supposed to

(12:52):
sell you or something like I don't I've never really
loved carbonation. Also maybe carbon carbonation not supposed to taste good,
so you have an anti carbonation agenda and done pushing
out here pushing ant. So how do you feel about
those spikes seltzers? Um? I do like a white claw.
I like it, um, but I think it it just

(13:13):
it's a lot. It's like hype, and I wanna I
want to like enjoy something that everyone else's enjoying, right, Yeah,
I mean it's white, like, doesn't it not taste alcoholic.
It's pretty stealthy. And I've I've slowly started coming around
to the power of the club, the Seltzers, because in
a way, like you're saying, it's there to do a job.
And sometimes when you don't notice and you can just

(13:35):
kind of beat. Like I was grilling outside and I
was drinking one, I was like, you know what this is?
Actually this is all right? Right? Yeah, I had a
white claw last night and I got accidentally like a
drunker than I anticipated, because you just can't yeah, off
the claws to get clawed clawvered, what I mean, clause out,
get clawbered. Let's talk about the climate strike you guys.

(13:55):
Oh yeah, that was on Friday. Uh. They were happening
every where. One point one million students walked out in
New York because the school superintendent of New York was like,
go fight, go fight for your planet. Uh. And there's
like four thousand actions, I think, all across the globe. Yeah,

(14:15):
it really did it, these kids, these damn kids. Let's
hear what Fox News had to say. It's just a
totally like going from being impressed by you know, the
activism and the you know how proactive and you know
successful they were accomplishing this. Let's hear Fox News. Today
is a day in which your kids might not be

(14:36):
going to school if they live in New York City
because it's the Global Climate Strike Day, right, It's the
time to the best thing you could do for climate
problems is not go to work. We'll go to school.
We'll scream on the grass and make a sign. Listen.
People are going to be protesting from one hundred and
see different countries, including as you can see right there, Australia.
That's some of the people who have gathered here in

(14:57):
New York City. One point one million public school kids
have been told they could skip class to go and
take part in two day's activity. The Mara says, you
get an excused absence if you want to lead a
classroom today in New York. And what they're demanding is
to end the use of fossil fuels here on planet Earth.

(15:18):
And of course the Democrats have who are running for
president are embracing climate change. And then they go into
a package of all the hand it's being like, it's
a problem, We're gonna fucking die if we don't do
something soon. And then and then it's a hard cut
too and breaking news in Houstons, trophic flooding everywhere. It's like,

(15:42):
please stay safe. Actually, people out there, a couple of
you send me some very frightening images of where you live.
Please stay safe. But it's just so dismissive. They're just
like and these little kiddies get to be off of
school today and make their little signs. It's like, no,
hold up, motherfucker, because I'm assuming they probably have children
who are also in er doing this trash earth we
were leaving behind. So you know everyone is going to

(16:05):
benefit from this. It's not about making signs uh and
just sucking the whole This is the whole energy behind it.
Like the way they started it sounded like like when
local news does like a p s A to like
bring charitable gifts, like gifts to a charity for Christmas,
like Hi, we're the Fox News team, and then the
next person takes out like during the holiday is important.

(16:27):
Like the way the cadence of it was odd, just
to be so dismissive and yeah, it's an urgent problem,
but you know, we we get it. They see this
as like a culture war thing and not like science. Yeah,
well democrats are embracing climate change. Um yeah, it's just
pretty stark to see the difference between like those assholes

(16:48):
and then you know kids who are actually going to
have to live most of their lives with the consequences
of two degree celsius climate change and Miami being underwater
and just every thing being fucked up. I'm curious of
those one point one million, one point one million students,
how many actually went to the climate strike. How many

(17:10):
kids we're fucking around smoking weed, yeah, at the park,
probably most of them. Curious because in my mind, sadly
and I grew up in a different time. Okay, it
was a pre nine eleven world. I was in high
school prem post nine eleven. But then if you told
me there was a day off to do like something
socially active, I would have been the fucking straight to

(17:32):
the l A River to smoke weed. Oh so I'm sure,
Like you know, it's like whatever, like five percent of
those kids are like actually climateary. I wonder, but I'm sure.
But you know, it's funny too when you look at
the research though, like demographically like gen z, like for sure,
it's like no, no, like they're fucking yeah, they're taking
it seriously. So you know what, that's why I'm a
trash as trash as elder millennial man. Yeah, they're doing

(17:55):
drugs while they climate rights, but I want to faith
and then they're going to the climate march. Uh yeah,
I mean you can definitely hold up your signs well high. Yeah. Oh,
it's always great to get out and just among the

(18:15):
people and enjoy the good earth. Yeah. All right, we're
gonna take a quick break and we'll be right back.
And we're back, and Miles, tell me what. I tried

(18:38):
to explain the Trump whistleblowers story at the end of
last week. Uh, and I totally fucked it up, and
you smoothly explained it. So I wouldn't. I don't. Just
because a couple of Instagram accounts I run, we're spamming
you with comments about that doesn't mean that I went down. No, no,
but I'm glad you noticed that. Um, but I didn't

(18:58):
believe that. So uh yeah, So we got the report right.
There was a whistle blower in the intelligence community who
was basically saying that the president made a promise to
some kind of foreign leader on the phone or some
other ship, and we don't know what the kind of
deal was being made. Then on Friday or Thursday night
we find out a little more details. It turns out
he was talking to Volodimir Zelinsky, who is the president

(19:21):
of Ukraine. We didn't know who, and try and spell
that correctly, okay, but yes, he was talking to Volodimir
Zalinsky and essentially saying like he wanted the Ukraine to
investigate Joe Biden's son Hunter or whatever the whatever his
other kid's name is, over a business deal and some

(19:42):
kind of corrupt agreement where someone where like a prosecutor
who was investigating the deal, Joe Biden said he was
corrupt and should stepped down, and therefore it looked like
Joe Biden was trying to dead the case to keep
his son safe. None of this was when was vice
vice president got it first of all, if none of
that is actually true, there was a lot. There was
an article written in the New York Times by a

(20:04):
woman who eventually became the spokesperson I think for the
like the president. It was weird, like essentially saying like,
you know, Rudy Giuliani or like he's been talking about
this story, and then the last paragraph sort of like
but no, no, we don't. We can't really verify any
of that. So it's almost like, why did you even
write this story if you're gonna say all this ship
and the last paragraph is like, but you know honestly
that we don't know. It was a New York Times
opinion piece by somebody who was talking about Hunter Biden

(20:27):
like having weird times, weird business deals, and there's a
lot of ship, Giuliani was saying out loud and anyway,
So he wanted to follow that thread because obviously he's
just basically dangling like the I think the two fifty
million dollars in military aid we give to Ukraine basically
like because uh, the US cut that ship off, and
like you want you want the money back, maybe you
should look into Joe Biden essentially saying like I'm going

(20:50):
to use taxpayer dollars to fund an oppo research campaign
for political aims, not anything to do with like regional
security there or to limit the sucking power of Russia
in the in the region. So they're saying, don't they
have something going on with Russia? Yeah, yeah, they're currently Yeah,
he held me put their line stepping over there in Ukraine,

(21:10):
And so you know, essentially they're like, you know, fucking
smear Biden and you get your cash is what it
all boils down to. And you know, there's so many people,
like a lot of constitutional scholars to who are like
every days a fucking nightmare, but like to take it
here now where you're like, you're using your influence and
foreign aid to exert power or influence over another country

(21:32):
to help you for your re election campaign. That's like
some other ship. I mean, it's all this, this whole
administration has been some other ship. Um. But the best part,
right is before all this happened, we were talking, like
earlier in the year, how Rudy Giuliani has been going
to Ukraine and trying to talk to people, and we've
always been like, I think he's just trying to dig
up dirt for Trump. Um. So when all this came out,

(21:53):
it made all of his trips to Ukraine look extra
shitty because they're like, I think this is what we
suspected the whole time. So my man and Rudy Juliani
goes on fucking CNN Chris Cuomo and this is just
the wildest ship. This, This is what happens when Senile
grifters are trying to cover for each other on live television.
What Biden said to the Ukraine. Did you ask the
Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden? No, actually I didn't. I

(22:17):
asked the Ukraine to investigate the allegations that there was
interference in the election of s by the Ukrainians for
the benefit of Hillary Clinton, for which they were already
is never asking anything about Hunter Biden. You never asked
anything about Joe. The only thing I asked about Joe
Biden is to get to the bottom of how it
was that Lutsenko, who was appointed dismissed the case against

(22:40):
And you did ask Ukraine did look into Joe Biden?
Of course I did. You just said you didn't. No,
I didn't ask him to look into Joe Biden. I
asked me to look in at the allegations that related
to my client, which tangentially involved Joe Biden in a
massive bribery schiding, not unlike when he did in China. Rudy,
you explain to me how the kid I just cut

(23:03):
all I asked about Joe Biden is the guy oh man, um,
I just want to point something outside note about Rudy Giuliani,
he's in the middle of a messy fucking divorce, and
so his ex wife that he's in the process of divorcing,
like apparently they're just getting fights all the time with

(23:24):
this like country club. They're like when they see each other,
like they start yelling at each other in public, and
like they're trying to like like be like please don't
interact with each other. It's just a mess. And then
his wife, you know, like when Rudy Giuliani was campaigning,
his wife basically demanded that there's always an extra seat
next to her for her Louis back, so you know what,

(23:44):
that's queens. So she's very chill, but also you know,
okay interesting. And then as this uh divorce went on,
So Rudy Giuliani was making like maybe between like eight
and nine million dollars a year working for this law firm,
he quit his job, so it looks would look like
his income was severely less so he could get out
of paying like spousal support. But there is over the

(24:06):
courts know about this this kind of fucking tactic, and
they will impute income for to use a legal term,
but essentially saying like they're gonna look at what your
earning power is and actually determine what like your payments
are based off of that. You can't just work because
that's why I just play dead. Well that's why he's
working for the president for free to be like, well,
you know, I'm doing this for free, so I don't

(24:27):
really have money coming in, therefore I can't do stuff.
Yet he like had to borrow a hundred thousand dollars
from like uh like one of the partners at his
legal firm to pay his taxes, but then has money
to pay for like a private jet subscription that's like
fifty K a year or something like that. Subscription. Yes,
like I guess one of those ships. Yeah, where it's
like hey, man, like you know, you kind of all
pitch in on this jet and use it whenever. It's

(24:49):
like a casual time share of a plane use Yeah,
you know, I don't know. I mean I'm from I'm
from like a little in valley. So like everyone they're like,
does like is really into back? How did you pay
your k? Yeah? It's essentially you're just like buying into

(25:09):
being able to like use a private plane like most
of the time. Oh got it. But then there are
some blackoutdates right exactly. Um, and then like but then
he has money. He was also like paying forty dollars
for to have dental work done for his girlfriend's son.
Rudy's in a fucking mess right now. Um. So you know,
he's got a lot on his plate. And then on

(25:29):
top of that, he's you know, entering the twilight years
of his life and trying to lie on TV with
people who are sharp and are listening to the words
he's saying. He can't just like shoot out his mouth
so bad at lying. He contradicts his life from one
sentence to the next. Um, so yeah, it only makes
the whole situation look much worse. Yeah. Uh, And like

(25:51):
I was totally on board Trump, but when I heard
they're fucking with Hunter Biden. I don't know if you
read the New Yorker profile about him, but he's such
a lovable funk up. He's Yeah, he's just constantly you know,
getting sober, relapsing, and like going on these incredible benders

(26:12):
where it's just like the people who like he's renting
cars from are like, yo, man, you need to get help.
Like there's cocaine all over the place in there, like yeah, yeah, Wow,
he's probably doing like bumps off his like wrist with
the windows down. But he's just like so earnest and
just like like at one point when he was clean,
he like gave a homeless persons like a place to

(26:35):
live for like a couple of months, like in it
in his apartment. He's just like a good dude, but
can't get over his demons. And I have friends like
that too, Like you know, you love them, love them,
but you know they're struggling sometimes. But like the Biden
campaign is very stressed out about him. They're like, can

(26:55):
be a liability? Well, this is the thing. Like it's
funny he's for all the focus that's on, you know, Biden,
Like there's two other people behind him who are beating
his ass in the polls just as equally. But in
his mind, he's like he's got to take down old
blood eye to keep his re election intact. I mean,
this seems like the best thing that could possibly happen

(27:17):
to Biden, right, Like taking aim at him sure, of
course makes it seem like he's more of a throat
than yeah, exactly, because he's like, wow, he's like basically
violating the constitution to try and take me down like
faith in his campaign. And it also, you know, his
main argument right now is like, look, you might not

(27:38):
like me, but I'm gonna beat Trump. So like, yes,
I suck, but like, just stick with me past the
primaries and I'll beat Trump. That was also Hillary's campaign
shouldn't work moth the floor. Just look at these numbers.
And then Biden's like, man, the same way, almost fucked
up these black gang members out of pool. Trump, You

(28:03):
guys know how you like have a straight razor that
you soak overnight in a rain barrel and then you
come That's one of the things he said. Everyone's like, so, yeah,
what is that supposed to do? I have no idea.
I think make it rusty so that it's like but
like that, like but it would Yeah, what, I don't know.

(28:26):
It's been a while since I talked to Cornpop. Let's
talk about a story that we touch on like every
four months or so. Uh, the mysterious attack on the
Cuban embassy that caused basically the Trump administration to completely
pull out of Cuba, stop any sort of diplomatic progress

(28:48):
that was being made by the Obama administration. And also
you know, it was just a real juicy news story
because it was like, yeah, they they're using mystery sci
fi weapons on us that like basically people started feeling
all sorts of funked up after hearing this, like really
weird noise. And my theory had been that this seemed

(29:11):
a lot like mass hysteria because the symptoms that the
people had were also symptoms of aging, like slight hearing loss,
but they it was like specific though too right there, right,
But then there were also these reports that there were
actually differences in the brain scans, which my theory didn't

(29:32):
make like, couldn't explain away. So um, but I just
I had a feeling it wasn't going to be super
sci fi weapons that uh, the U. S. Military didn't
know existed. So the CBC is reporting a new study
that's not like, well, they made it up, but it's
also not not that it's all in their head like

(29:56):
I suspected. So the new information that I hadn't heard
any where else is that there was a trend of
people getting mysterious illnesses starting in two thousand and sixteen
while in Cuba and while in Havana specifically after returning
from travel there or or when they were there, and
they often complained of a buzz or high pitched wine

(30:17):
prior to getting sick. And so they did. The Canadians,
you know, being the sober minded, friendly people that they are,
just did a study on the brands of people who
had been to Cuba and found that there were differences
between their brains before they went and after they went,

(30:39):
and also differences between the brands of people who who
went to Cuba and people who didn't. But specifically, like
these were not diplomats, these were not spies. So it's
just didn't make sense, Like why did it make sense? Right?
They're not? Well, yeah, are they targeting them? Is the question? Uh?
And they noticed that it was the damage was specific

(31:01):
to a part of the brain that's responsible for memory, concentrations,
sleep and wake cycle. Uh. And then they started looking
into what can injure that part of the brain, and
neurotoxins was like the number one thing. And then they
realized that two thousand sixteen, when all these illnesses started happening,

(31:21):
was when Zica started and Cuba started doing some real
heavy doses of a particular pesticide that isn't used in
North America. So these people basically just got like hit
with an exactly. But like with Cuban roundup, that has
a neurotoxin in it that North Americans can't handle. Apparently,
I still think it's spices and the food. It could

(31:43):
be that. Yeah, but yeah, so I mean this makes
a lot more sense. It also, you know, is a
much less sensational explanations are with this, I am because
it makes sense of like the things that I ound suspicious,
like the fact that it would have been physically impossible

(32:05):
for any of the things that they the Trump administration
was suggesting could happen. Um. But it also like it
is a mental thing or a neurological thing. It's just uh,
it does have a chemical cause. I guess, all right, well,
uh yeah, we are closing the case on that one. Yeah,
I don't know. Researchers from Canada are looking to collaborate

(32:28):
with Cuban officials to determine whether any Cubans suffered similar
brain injuries, so that'll help them determine like whether this
is actually the case. But that just seems like a
healthier way to approach the investigation or a very novel
way to fund some people up is just puttle wild
neurotalkin all over, like the buildings are going in and
be like that. That'll probably them up a little bit. Yeah,

(32:49):
but a lot of the people that they were sucking
up had nothing to do with diplomacy or spying or anything.
You know, I'm just trying to create conspiracy theories. Yeah,
I know you are, man, you need to stop leave
Cuba alone. Uh but yeah, I don't know that. Working
with Cuba seemed like Cuban officials like from the start
have been like, we don't know what's happening, but like,

(33:09):
let's work together to figure this out. Trump is like,
next trust spy and slam the door in their face
and run away. Um. So yeah, it's that's an update.
We can rest easy, Yeah, we can rest or. You
can rest easy. I can. I will still be awake
at night thinking about who's spraying what around my house. Yeah,
I mean they said that it's like they were able

(33:31):
to correlate people who had specifically bad symptoms with people
who they were spraying more of the pesticide at their
office or around their homes. So yeah, all right, should
we should we go to corrections corner? I mean yeah, Wow,
what a pretty big funk up, got an egg on

(33:53):
our face. Yeah, this is probably an entire genre of
stories that we need to just be wary of. Anytime
it's something that millennial as they're doing differently that is
causing some sort of dramatically devastating or just like creepy impact,
we should be skeptical also, especially if it's smartphones or
video games or any newish technology that old people are

(34:16):
scared of. Write the story was about millennials texting so
much or looking down so much, they're growing horns at
the base of their skull or some ship, and we're like,
what the funk is that? I mean so uh And
apparently it's grossly exaggerated, Like they couldn't really find a
connection between those two things. Wait, but was someone growing horns? No,

(34:38):
it's like there's these like calcium deposits and their spines
that they were saying are more prominent. But the science
that it was based on is complete bullshit. Like the
so it wasn't just you know, us misreading the study.
The study had to be corrected, like that's why this
is now coming out. They actually issued a correct into

(35:00):
the article. Uh, they had to, like they changed the
sentences that everybody quoted or they just took them out,
Like the quote horn at the back of the head.
That whole thing was taken out, just like a concept
of the horn in general. Yes, maybe like to sustain
aberrant postures associated with handheld contemporary technologies was taken out.

(35:24):
So it's basically nothing now, like a study that nobody
would have paid attention to. Uh. And they also added
the fact that one of the authors of the paper
cell services, claiming to treat the issue of how the
whole anti back started. Yeah, it's like, oh yeah, MMR
vaccine is a funk your kid up. Also, I've got
this alternative to them, Mr vaccine, right, yeah, and like

(35:47):
that story. The thing that is probably more likely to
stick in people's heads is holy sh it, they got
horns coming out the back of their heads. These kids.
These days, it's always more than like people get news
very wrong. Well, typically it's always millennials are ruining wedding
ring industry, Millennials are ruining home buying, right, and really
it's every headline to be millennials are broke as fuck.

(36:10):
It's really what it is not that there's there we're
not ruining. It's like we don't money to, and we
don't have the wealth accumulation that these other generations do.
So this one, I wonder if it's like millennials are
so poor they're growing horns or whatever the funk they
could spin that into Millennials do have bad posture, just terrible. Yeah,
I believe at posture, but I feel like it's just
not something that our generation has been taught to prioritize.

(36:33):
People have bad posture too well really like they're like
or something, Yeah, my posture, Fuck them, We got better postures.
It's all about posture. It's all about pelvic tilt when
you sit. You know a lot of things. You sucked
me up with that pelvic tilt thing. Yeah, it was
constantly aware of. It's a gateway to working my pelvis.
Yeah yeah, I mean it's true that we have bad posture,

(36:57):
but I don't know what do we have to compare
it to, like past generation. I don't know if I
just look at photos, you know, like people stand upright
as but also those are when like a photo took
like fifteen seconds to take, and it's also like the
only photo you get taken. Right. Yeah, Like I'm putting
on a fucking tuxedo. And I'm chest out straight up. Yeah,

(37:19):
I stand up straight in pictures too, but also yeah,
I don't know like I think, but it's funny to
look at generationally how like people pose differently in photos.
Like I look at how my like grandparents would be
in a photo, especially on the Asian side of my family,
where just s no smiling, no smilings, like we're here
at the louver, and then like a rap album cover.

(37:39):
But then like their kids started smiling in photos, and
then their grandkids are like fucking full o posing and ship.
So you know, I think just that we get more
photos taken now, so it seems like you can it's
it's more casual, relaxed experience. Yeah, for sure. I make
sure to have my eyes closed and everything, just to

(37:59):
be like he's so contemplated, No, just to be like, man,
that guy can't keep his eyes open. It's like he
must be really tired. Uh. Should we talk about caffinated yogurt? Yes? Yeah,
just because what the fuck pro fuel Oikos makers of
Greek yogurt, they got, Yes, Oikos fucking pro fuel. I

(38:21):
don't know why they needed that name isn't good, but
it is a fucking what they described as a caffeinated
and cultured dairy drink. Noticed they can't say yogurt because
I'm guessing it didn't reach the technical requirements to be
considered a yogurt um. But it's about now. It's twenty
five grams of protein and a hundred milligrams of caffeine.

(38:41):
I don't know how much. How much A hundred thirty
or something like that. Yeah, okay, got caffeine expert here,
So a hunt, I mean, so what's that can? I mean,
I guess if you're sensitive muscle milk basically, But muscle
milk like is good for working out, so are people cannase?

(39:03):
Like ask pray workout? Is that the idea? But you
don't like load up protein before you work up? Yeah? Yeah,
I think I like to have a nice big milk
chake before I go. It's like go gurt for adults
that screen, right, It's like yeah, man, because it's like
in a it's like in a bottle that's like shape,

(39:24):
so you can just chug it in your fucking commute
or whatever. So I jack bottle too, so you know
it's made for man. Yeah, it's like it looks like
it was designed by the same people who make ax
Body spray bottles. Yeah, but the caffeine comes from the
flesh of the coffee cherry, not the nut that turns
into the bean that we use for coffee. So what

(39:44):
if that means anything to you? Great, Yeah, but caffeine.
I mean, I'll try it because I think it's interesting.
But also there's something odd about caffeinated yogurt in general.
To me, I'm not I don't know, I didn't. I
think it sounds convened. It's like it doesn't siler and
how like a caffeinated version. It's not good. It's really

(40:06):
really bad. Yeah, I mean it's like passable, you know
what I mean. Like, I'm like, I get it if
you're like so like fucking every second one like fucking counts,
time to eat, time to ship, right, I'm gonna drink soiling. Yeah,
But optimizing food consumption process, I think it is like
just a certain type of person who values different things

(40:30):
like taste, human experience. Yeah, kind of stuff. But I
guess if like your Lord and Savior is the almighty dollar,
then like, yeah, you're like, dude, don't have time to
look at my kids in the eye right barely? I
sleep here at Google every day. Yeah, Soilon is also
like unregulated. They did a dollar episode about it. It's

(40:51):
a mess, man. They had like the ingredients for it
just like sitting out on a warehouse floor. What do
you mean, like we're they manufactured. Yeah, they just have
like a big pile of it on a tarp on
a floor, and like they were people were getting poisoned
by it. They were getting like food poisoning from it,
and they had to do a bunch of recalls and
the ship Jesus Christ. So it's so weird that they

(41:14):
branded as like some revolutionary products when it's like they're
like insure has existence. Yeah, I think because it was
that whole idea of like these rich motherfucker's are are
pounding this ship because they can't they don't have time. Man.
So if you're broken, aspiring, wealthy person, this is for
you not to shoot. Your grandma has to drink. She

(41:35):
had a stroke. Its fucking soil it, man, How do
I tell people that I use Apple products with my food?
All right, let's pick another quick break and we'll be
right back. And we're ack And uh, it's it's a

(42:03):
little early, but it is time to start thinking about
Halloween costumes. Do you guys have years picked out already?
I I dress up maybe every election year, roughly like
every four years. Half the time I'm like, man, I'm
not going fucking out. Or if I do, then I
do some half as costume, but it's I only catch
the true spirit every four years. Yeah, Um, I don't

(42:26):
know what I'm gonna be. And see I don't have
a family like you, so I don't have I don't
have no you know, kids to be taken around the neighborhood. Yeah,
you have a costume? Oh yeah, I love Halloween. I
have like a different costume every day. If and also
it falls on a weird weekend where people go out
two weekends, I'll have like have costume. So my main
one this year that I've started thinking about is did
you guys see the Normandy motivation music videos? So I

(42:48):
want to do? Yeah, I make most of my own style. Yeah,
like either like I'll find out or like you know,
I'm really good scissors and I do the song machines
that do very basic things. But it looks pretty like
like almost like tied together. I think it'll be easy.
And when I just had to spray paint. Yeah, and

(43:12):
then I don't know. When I don't know, I'm usually
a cat, but I really like when I don't know.
Usually That's what I love. The instagramming all the all weekend.
Oh so do you have an entire do you have
your costume programming already settled? Um, that's definitely one of them.
It's like definitely gonna be one night. Okay, damn yeah,

(43:33):
there will be photos. Um. Yeah, I'm more more or
less just shoehorned this segment into the episode because Taco
bell Is just released a bunch of costumes and you know,
I'm I'm from Hell so that my blood type is
fire sauce or diablo sauce. But their costumes are so lazy,
but like in the most amazing way, you could be

(43:55):
a motherfucking Gordita. Okay, not very impressive. It looks looks
like it's screen printed onto a fucking silk sheet. Uh.
They also have it for children if you want to
show people you really don't care about your child's future.
And then they have like hot sauce packets for men
and women. So there's a thought e version, or it
depends on if you want to thought it up. You
can make it a little more thought e or you

(44:15):
can be in a little more generic sauce packet version.
Then I kind of started looking at what people are
talking about in terms of the shitty costumes. There's a
hot Mr Rogers. Is there any other type of Mr
Roy that's true? Yeah? Okay, point taken. That is just
basically like Daisy Duke shorts um and red sweater and

(44:38):
uh like like a playmate caller with a tie? Wait
did he rock a tie? I don't know, this is
what they're calling it. You know he did? Yeah? Here tie? Okay,
I can't in my mind, I just think of his
practical purpose. She was also wearing high heels, where like
his whole thing was that he would sit down to

(45:00):
because uh sneak. Yeah, she'll probably take those off, right, Yeah.
And then there was another one. I just thought that
just was a dress that had dollars printed on it
and it just said tariff paint on the front. Political costume,
it must be, but it's like a political cartoon. It's
like one of those things that like has like a

(45:20):
bag with like an elephant sitting on it, and it's
like the country, Right, there's your tariffs, right? I mean,
I'm curious to know who that appeals to. Like someone goes,
I want a sexy costume that is going to make
commentary about our trade war with China? Like where's that
ven diagram? It's just like rant, Like they were like,

(45:42):
what what else is topical? Tariffs? Tariffsing? Just write tariff
on our dress? What happened that dollar dollar bills? Y'all
dress we have? I'm not your alight reprint tiff. Um. Yeah,
I'm trying to think. Normandy is a great timely zeitgeiste
costa and she's like, you're younger than me, so it's

(46:04):
like a fun got it? Oh nice? You're like, actually,
I don't really I'm not really born in ninety six five. Yeah, yeah,
what you were born? I'm older than normand tragically for me,
Oh my god, how are you doing? I had no idea? Wow, Yeah,

(46:25):
it's hard. Does that motivate a lot of your comedy
feeling old or yeah? Or just like, um, yeah, I
think I will. I also have a sister she was
born thou too, so she's not even eighteen yet and
she's like really famous on Instagram. So um this that's
a you know, a huge part of my own Brandy.

(46:47):
She's seven years younger than me. I think I saw
that one of the first tweets I saw from you
was about your sister and that you had an ex
boyfriend who kept asking you her birthday. Oh yeah, that
was my first big tweet ever. Oh was it? Yeah?
There you go, uh making making moves out here. Well yeah,
well we'll keep covering like I think. I think Halloween,

(47:09):
like topical Halloween costumes is a good way to just
sort of monitor the zeke Gang, see what, yeah, or
monitor the Zeitgeist. Not the zeke Gang. We don't monitor you, guys,
I promise, yeah, yeah, yeah, but please downhold the download
the I Heart radio app app there and leave it
open if possible, and allow microphone and cameras. And if

(47:30):
you could just describe like your purchasing habits, that would
be done fantastic. I'm trying to think what would be
the most two thous costume. I mean, Tariff is like
a good example of the sort of thing. It's like
some ship from uh. I mean, I'm sure there's gonna
be some political ones about, you know, like ice agents
and then you know people being held in kids and

(47:53):
kids agent. Oh shit, I mean, I think that's a
little tootle too wacky create to be a thing. That
one year I was Farrell Williams Wallace was Farrell mixed
with William Wallace, just had Farrell. I had that big
gass like fucking Vivian Westwood hat and then blue face

(48:13):
paint with like a babe shirt and a kilt. Hell yeah,
anyway to show off those legs man, Yeah, yo, anything
to rocket kilt and man those quads, man, you can
see all four of them. All right, Let's talk about
Takashi six nine. Uh yeah, yeah, yeah. So he's been

(48:35):
in prisoned since he played guilty to racketeering earlier this year,
but there was a much anticipated trial where he was
the star witness. Yeah, just got a testifying at the
at the end of the last week and it was
there was lots of content being spilt. He's basically, first

(48:56):
of all, for those of you who don't know, Takaji
six nine is a New York rapper who's got a
bunch of faced tattoos, Unicorn frap for hair, unicorn frap
colored braids. He's been you know, he's the actual real
gangster and he was hanging around a lot of interesting
people gang members uh and famously on the Breakfast Club

(49:18):
Charlemagne and then we're like, you need to stop this.
This is not going to end well for you because
we've seen this over and over. You want to align
yourself with these these hoodlums, as my grandmother would say, uh,
and there it's gonna lead Eventually one of these people
is going to bring your whole ship down and you're
gonna be connected. This is not the look you want.
Just do you. You're being sick, you're successful, you don't
need all this other I know what I know what's

(49:39):
best for me, like any young person or twenties, I
get it. Like I also thought I knew everything at
twenty two. Um so Country down was like, we'll see
where you are, right And a year later and he's
out here diming on fucking everybody, diming on a lot
of gang members. He was saying, Jim Jones is a
blood which isn't like really surprising, nothing new, CARDI B.

(50:03):
I think the thing that Jim Jones is going to
be piste off at about is they asked him who
he was, Yeah, please tell us who Jim Jones is,
and Caushi six nine said he's a retired rapper, how
dare you damn uh and then specifically identified him as
a blood And I don't know. He just seems like
to be about as publicly marked for death as anyone

(50:26):
since like the Tupac Bibi feud. I don't know. I mean,
he's definitely in protective custy in prison, um and but
he has he did admit. He's like they're like, are
you doing this to like help the government or like
because you're trying to help the government, are you trying
to get a lenient sentence? He's like, man, a little
bit from column A, like got to look out for myself.
I do not. I underestimated how heavy this ship could get.

(50:49):
Another interesting thing that we learned is he revealed that
his strategy for building his career was inspired by Logan
and Jake Paul Wow, honestly iconic. JA I was talking
about the other day, like how like Logan and like
all the Nick and Aaron Carter stuff that's going on,
It is very like what Jake and Logan have, like

(51:12):
almost like they've modeled like fake feuds after like all
these weird like child brother stars, like real feuds right
right right times. It's like they're all their beef is
face obviously so fake. I had to disconnect from those
two motherfuckers. I'm about to smash. Well, I'm like re
into Jake Paul because I'm really into this influencer, Tanna
Mojo Ta. Yeah, yeah, that's the one who she's now married, right,

(51:36):
and they're like openly like it's no on paper, it
is fake, right, Like there it was live stream and
y'all paid exactly, and then there's a fight. Well there's
like a fake key, but it was like if you watch,
it was like really weird. I think I think it
was just Jake Paul like had someone throw champagne on
Tanna at the time, and its like I don't think

(51:57):
I really don't think she wasn't on it because I
watched her MTV reality show and it almost seems like
Jake Paul kind of like wiggled his way into her
life so he could be on this, we could like
take over the MTV show because she had the MTV
show deal before they started hanging out. Yeah, now he's
like features and now he's like a main character in

(52:18):
this like MTV reality show. And that's how I got
back into Jake Paul because I like, really, but now
I'm back you back. I watched his music videos are
so funny. I mean it's every day, it's it's every
day bro. Yeah, I do have a j polah. It

(52:38):
took like ten weeks to get real shipping game, not
on shipping, not on pointing every day, some horribly abused
intern somewhere. Oh yeah, and print them behind. He's like,
I think that the fabric pain is doing something in

(52:59):
my brain. Could start printing them with the hoodies, bro.
But yeah, I mean every they're famous in a way
that everybody that's their age would like to be famous.
So like they didn't get that without a a little
bit of genius and be a little bit of a
huge personality problem, like personality defects. Yeah, well, I think

(53:20):
because their whole lifestyle to a teenager is like it
looks like your millionaire parents left you home alone with
a Lamborghini and you can smoke weed in there and
ride a hoverboard and it's all good. Yeah, and you're
the parents like the you know, pull pranks on your bros.
So it's prank culture. Who does that? Man? Do you
ever pull any pranks on your bros? Oh? Dude, every day,

(53:44):
every day, every life franks, dude, kidding me the regional prank, No,
because I didn't want them to pull it on me
because I find them hurtful. Uh. Do you ever do
social experiments on people? Oh? Yeah, counselt how about you
you do anything good? Like when I was in high school,
Like I went to a boarding school, and they like,

(54:07):
you know, you're living on your own as a kid
who's like not equipped, So we would always you know,
one time we put a kid's entire room out on
the on the lawn. That a prank. That's just passive
aggressive hatred, like hate move it a friend. Yeah, I
guess so right, but I guess the prank sometimes, like
you know, you can gaslight people and the thinking like

(54:29):
their parents died in a car accident, you know what
I mean? And then I'm joking dude, But you only
five bucks for that blunt. Yeah. I think I liked
pranking people's younger siblings because it was Oh yo, I
used to fucking pretend me and my friend will convince
his younger sister, uh that we had this sleeping bag

(54:52):
was a time machine and were just drag her ass
through the house and be like, oh, ship, there's dinosaurs
and hit and I'll do that with my cousin too.
Damn shout out to my cousin Austin. I mean that
is a good prank. Has a circle tattoo. No way
I would fall for that. Yeah, I mean it seemed impossible.
Like but it's like you're in a sleeping bag and
we're hitting you with pillows, but we're calling a dinosaurs

(55:14):
and you're in the pretest dark time. Look, we didn't
have great ideas when we were telling, uh, let's workshop
that Yeah, let's yeah, let's reach Yeah, we'll do that. Uh,
let's talk about Rambo. There's a new Rambo that just
came out this past weekend. Uh, and yeah, it's getting
bad reviews, which most of the Rambo sequels have always gotten.

(55:35):
The first one was sort of a you know, a
little bit more subtle of a movie about a Vietnam
vette who was like damaged in a Travis Bickle from
taxi driver sort of way, and then he like goes
off on a he gets like PTSD and goes off
on a rampage in the woods and there's but he
only like kills one dude or something in the first

(55:58):
movie and then the second movie. By the time the
second movie rolled around, he killed like all of Vietnam,
Like he killed the entire country. It was a bit
of revisionist history. Yeah. So the second movie was like
a huge, massive blockbuster. I think it was the biggest
movie the year that it came out. Um, And the

(56:19):
premise was he goes back to Vietnam and wins the
Vietnam War for America by himself by killing every Vietnam
every Vietnamese soldier. And yeah, it was a monster hit
and Reagan loved it, and like Reagan's followers loved it.
And it sounds like this sequel has a lot in

(56:40):
common with that. What's like praying on existing anxieties, whether
that was like being in denial that the US lost
the Vietnam War or this one being a we're afraid
of brown people from south of the border, Yeah, which
I think this whole thing is operating off basically. So
in this Rambo, he lives on a horse ranch in Arizona.

(57:02):
He has a niece who he's been a complete loaner
up to this point. Uh, and apparently, uh he had
a niece this whole time. Was there any reference to
Rambo having siblings. Ever, Oh so this is like like
the miss Monopoly game, Like, who's miss Monopolies. She's miss Monopolies,
niece you just heard of, So we can make a
game forneurs. Yeah. So, anyway, his niece wants to go

(57:25):
to Mexico to find her birth father, and he Rambo
forbids her because it's Mexico and that's like just self
evidently dangerous in this movie. She goes anyway and is
kidnapped and sold into sex slavery after a single night
in Mexico. And the Mexican Bureau of Tourism funded this one. Yeah, exactly,

(57:47):
like Ship gets Wild what one? So the moral for
anybody watching that is this niece disobeyed her uncle rose
in Mexican. Then look what happened to get taken mom.
This is how this is how they are down there, man.
Uh so he Rambo takes on the Mexican rapists and

(58:08):
murders and uh, you know, I don't know if you
saw the last Rambo movie. I think it was the
fourth one, but that it was the most gratuitously violent
like movie I've ever seen. Um And apparently at the
climax of the movie, there's a pointed shot of the

(58:28):
border fence. Are you for real? Yeah? Yeah, so, hey,
we're gonna finish that wall, right, Hey maybe if there
was a wall, you know, we have to go on
and fight and fight these guys. Yeah. I mean he's
going to be studied as a very successful and probably
ignorantminious propagandist, Like when like years from now, because of

(58:50):
like Rocky four and Rambo two and now this movie.
Um until right now, I thought Rocky and Rambo were
the same thing, right, and look that up, But like
I think so it was the they're just both sylvesterous
alone and they're both one name words and like one
is a boxer and then one is like a former
soldier who just like kill everyone, kills everyone, disembowel people.

(59:12):
It's really crazy. Yeah, well that's but but that was
funny because it's such a cultural icon or like people
think of like being like Rambo, Like I'm gonna be
fucking Rambo. Like Rambo's sucking strong, He's like this American.
We don't sunk around fucking kill brown people. Done fucking
matter man, Rambo. Uh you know, yeah, I love the branding.
They're both inherently political, like Rambo is a stand in

(59:37):
for you know, like wounded Vietnam veterans who came home
and like felt like the country just like shipped on
them and didn't feel like they had like a victory
to celebrate. And that was like the first time that
veterans weren't treated well. And then Rocky was like this,
you know, basically he beat Mohammad Ali in the first movie,

(59:57):
like a stand in for Mohammad Ali, and it's like
a a stand in for basically white people's wish that
they had a white champion that could like beat Mohammed
all right, right exactly. Uh, he actually stole the story
from a guy who's fight he went and saw. He
saw a guy go fifteen rounds with Mohammad Ali and

(01:00:18):
like lose because he wasn't a very good fighter. But
he was just like some shlub white and he was
like what if. But similar to Rocky, like the first
Rocky is sort of an art movie where you know,
there are consequences and he's mentally not all there, and
then eventually it becomes this he's just like a superhero

(01:00:39):
doing American wishes for the American people, right YEA well,
it's funny like every I feel like every Republican president
has been shown embodying Rambo in some way, you know
what I mean. Like there's always I don't know if
there's are there Obama Rambo posters, because you know, there's
the Ronald Reagan ones, right, there's a There's ron Bow.

(01:01:02):
It was a poster that was really popular at the
time with just a Rambo's body with Ronald Reagan's head
poorly photo shopped onto it. It's really because it's a
frightening image though that, but it's such a powerful image
because Reagan made like people in the eighties, Conservatives in
the eighties like so around, like they were so fucking

(01:01:25):
into Reagan, but he was like an old man who
was like kind of senile, So like by attaching his
head to like this body of like a powerful guy
shooting a machine gun, they like got to kind of
do some wish fulfillment. It kind of looks like how
sylvesterst Alone looks now because he looks so old, but
he's all on that h G h his but his

(01:01:48):
face looks like years old. Yeah. Reagan actually like stepped
into it and was like talking about how Rambo inspired
him to like funk up people who stood in the
way of tax reform or some ship. He's uh, and
now that there is a photo, there is a poster
with Trump's face on Rambo's body, and it's a little

(01:02:10):
matter of time until he starts talking about how much
he loves Rambo and how he is like Rambombo. Yeah, yeah,
so well we'll have to Part of me needs to
see this and part of it doesn't want to see it.
But also it sounds like such a fucked up nightmare. Yeah,

(01:02:32):
I should buy a ticket for hustlers and then sneaking. Yeah,
that's my that's my whole I'm telling everyone to do
that if I want to see at Astro, Like, you
should buy your ticket for hustlers, go to at Astro.
I did. I thought twice, and I'm gonna see it. Amazing.
It's like, I mean, I love it, Like it's just
exactly like I think it's. I mean, it's for me.
I'm like the Target demo, but like it's like I

(01:02:53):
love like um hawk rolls and like purple lights and
so like aesthetic. Yeah, h subtitle of the movie. Maybe
I'll just do that ship scumbag theater hop in Yeah, Saturday,
I'm gonna see Hustlers again, and I'm gonna see at

(01:03:14):
Astrom Damn. Yeah, was supposed to be really good too. Well,
don't don't don't ask my mom her take on that.
Oh yeah, your mom's face. So my mom is a
film critic, and sometimes I asked her, um, but she's
you know, she's Japanese, so sometimes her text come a
little jumbled when she's talking to in English. But I

(01:03:35):
think when I asked her, I said, how was that Astros?
She says long fell asleep ropheo hers her her Spanish
film critic friends said, said, my shorter version must be better.
Some scenes are beautiful. Some articles said this movie could
have been sublime, but ellipsus, Wow, my mom, that's how
she rates a film. If she falls asleep, it's a

(01:03:55):
rape and it's weird, like those movies are too long,
Like I think, like all of the Man space movies,
like it's like, just caught him down? Why do they
just get to it? You get to space? I just know, right,
just get to cut to the space. The thing and
the actual thing that looks wild is there's like a
fucking full on gunfight on like space rovers like moon,
rovers and ship. Yeah, like the idea that I think

(01:04:17):
an at asteroids, like there's stuff actually going on, right
versus versus complative? What is like gravity, situation right, floating? Yeah? Right? Right? Uh?
What do you think of Interstellar? Um? I fell asleep? Yeah,
I like the idea. The only thing I took away
from was I like, I do like the multiple dimensions
or whatever, like the isn't that that one? I didn't

(01:04:40):
see it because that's Interstellar? Right, you didn't see it Interstellar?
And we talked about this. Yeah, okay, what am I
getting it? There's like another movie like it? There is
which movie I can't remember. I think I like to
put them my consolidate them in my head. But yeah,
I think I felt asleep, but I think I like

(01:05:01):
the multiple multiples mentioned. I will see it because the
only reason I think I did it, and I said
this before, is because it was one of the first
one of the times Christ Nolan put a film out
and people weren't unanimously like, wow, this is really good
at worth seeing. People like, well, yeah, some people like this,
some people didn't. Most people like it's worth seeing. I
will see it. I just you know, I can most
of my time is spent watching fiance. So yeah, that's

(01:05:22):
