are you talking about anyway? Yeah, that's where you get
stroop waffles and cold fish. Yeah yeah, or strope waffle.
I think I was correct strop Yeah, you don't quote me.
I'm I'm like fake Dutch. You know American do they
do look at you and you're like they I mean
I get like I get stopped usually in customs because

(03:49):
they haven't heard my name in so long. So when
I go through, they're like, oh, we don't hear this
name because I think it was originally Vanda Popel or
something like that and it got all bastardized, so that
was Van Poplin. But we actually have vam Poplins in Amsterdam.
I've been on a bender since Thursday. Guys. I was excited,
you know, I was gonna go to I was gonna
go to Maui for fun. But then it felt extreme

(04:11):
guilt about doing it because I've been trying to get
a job. And then a job opportunity came up and
I was like, see, that's why I shouldn't go. And
the job got canceled and I ate a ticket one
way to May and then so then I was like,
I'm getting bro for four days. And I just went
out a vacation in my backyard. Um had the ground
look down? Oh yeah, and then it rained on you.

(04:36):
Rain escaped to the desert, which is great. Yep. I know.
I was like, if I can't have Maui, I guess
I'll sleep in a truck outside of Joshua. It was great.
Josh Roo Tree is awesome. No, it's beautiful. Pappian Harriet's
for the first time. What's Peppy and Harriet? Oh the
little Saloon Pioneer concert venue. I mean you get like,
oh god, probably like four people showed up to see

(04:57):
Lucius on Saturday, and and they've got a campground, so
you just park in your truck or your car. Just
wander around this like desert compound and just fall asleep
in your truck. Beautiful truck. My boyfriend's got this rig.
So he's got a pickup truck, and then he got
a permanent camper attached to it. It's called habitat. So
this thing is like it hoists open and then this

(05:19):
huge like eight foot bed flops open that hangs over this.
So when you get in the bed of the truck,
you can stand fully up and then use the cab
of the truck and then climb up onto this bed
that juts out. It's so fucking great. It's called Murphy's beds.
Yeah right, it's the Murphy's bed of Hy's. That is
a less glamorous way you think about it, murphy bed

(05:40):
of a pickup truck. Yeah. Yeah, Well Brook, we're gonna
get to know you even better in a moment. First,
we're gonna take our listeners through a couple of the
things we're talking about today. We're gonna talk about Arnold
Schwarzenegger getting jump kicked and barely noticing uh and all
that went down. We're gonna talk about a deceased artiste

(06:01):
who might be coming back and going on tour. We'll
explain how that's possible. We're going to talk about the
super conservative Justin Amash who has decided that he's gonna
be the first Republican to actually have a conscience, and
we're gonna talk about how that has made waves. We're

(06:22):
gonna talk about how the President feels about Fox covering
Pete Buddha Jedge, We're gonna talk about the E p A.
We're gonna talk about all sorts of things today, the
re launch of the Real World, and of course that
Game of Thrones finale. Am I right, guys, uh who
isn't talking about it? But first, Brooke, we like to

(06:42):
ask our guest, what is something from your search history
that's revealing about who you are? Oh? I was okay,
So I was looking through this and I I didn't recall,
but I looked up Thank God, because I went I
was like, ooh, that's where I was the past four days.
Um through my search history. I was looking up the
the amount of personhood a corp corporation can get because

(07:03):
I was kind of going on a rant where I'm like,
fetuses and corporations have more claimed to personhood than women.
Do you know? And uh, I was just like it's
really left up. So obviously it's been a terrible week, right.
Did you find it any kind of satisfying definition of well?
I yeah, I like, I don't know, you know, I
just was like I'm right about this, you know. But

(07:24):
I went back and I was like, clearly I was
like on a on a on a rant. So I've
been off Instagram, so I was like, you know, I'm tweeting,
so you know, it's like when I give up one
then I usually go hard on the other. I can't
clean my act up there. But yeah, I was just
like freaking out where I'm like, no, truly like corporations
being able to you know, vote and have influence and
being considered you know, um more claimed to having actual

(07:46):
fucking rights and a woman self determination hell of a thing. Yeah,
how's the Instagram b K working out for you? You know?
It's been good. I think the thing I do is
usually if I have to promote something real quick, I
just kind of get it out there and then I
log off and I just also deleted every time too,
And it's just been good to not have that, Like, um,

(08:06):
I'm happier. I guess it's a good it's a good
way to put it, because I don't know. I get
so the rolling scroll in the morning, as I call it,
when you're just like, come on, they roll out of
bed or just roll over, and you know, just you're like, oh,
I'm a wake what kind of garbage is it happening?
And it's just not good for my mental health, and
I think anyone else is. I'm just not set up

(08:29):
do that thing where you're like, all right, I'm gonna
scroll past three more images and I'm done. And then
if I don't see a good one in three, two, one,
I'm done and then hold on, let me see if
there's another one right, And then I'm five minutes later,
I'm like three, I'm like no, this is like I
just because I'll fall down this like really, I'm like, oh,

(08:51):
maybe this will be really funny for material and then
you get lost completely. And then I was just making
fun of women, like to no one but myself off
for like an hour under the hashtag brunch outfit because
I was like, this is a thing. And then I
was just like staring at all these women who basically
like hashtag brunch outfit, just you know it's not. It's

(09:15):
it's very influencer friendly. It's like all these women yep,
it's like so done up, so much makeup, so and
you're just like, oh my god. And then I get
really into um women who are really bad with the
face tune where they just look like they just took
a whole hand and smeared it across the image and
it's like you don't have eyeballs or like you know,

(09:36):
a face shape anyone. And I think that's becoming a
new version of like body dysmorphia, where people are getting
so aft up that they can't see how like they
look too deep, like gets so flat with the with
the corrections, you're like, what is wrong with you? Yeah,
some of these people are my friends. Then enter like
a feedback loop for you and then looking at other
people who have done it up better than it's. Yeah,

(09:58):
it's comparison the death of joy. And that is especially
true on Instagram where the thing you're comparing yourself to
is not even accurate. Look at a lot of bodybuildings, Yeah,
but I do not true a lot of So I
was like, I just gotta go off if I'm like
just like ragging on women who clearly are struggling with

(10:19):
self image, and why would I do that? I have
my own issue like that, and it all happened because
of this time to remove it. What is something you
think is overrated? Considering my heart's beating out of my
chest right now? Cold brew? I would definitely say some
cold brew its a little overrated. Um the nitro which

(10:41):
I tried, you know, the nitro version of it too,
And I was just like all right with you know,
the tank was like out of O two or something.
They're like, can you wait a little bit to get
your coffee. We've got to change the O two tank,
you know, And I'm like, yeah, I just need to
drink regular coffee. This is fucking science coffee. Not like
me to be clips from fast and furious. You gotta

(11:02):
throw another NAZ tank on there. How strong is this? Like?
We must keep it stable in a container, you know,
a pressure container. You're like, cool, that's probably good for
my cold and if so, when you pour the nitro stuff,
it like has those little bubbles like it looks like guinness. Yeah,
and it tastes like guinness. And I don't want that,

(11:23):
you know, I just want the caffeine and even then. Yeah,
everyone's like, oh, it just really smooths out the coffee.
And I'm like, it wasn't a problem that existed with
coffee prior to this. Yeah, they used to have creamer
for that, but um, and is there anything else? Does
it have added caffeine or it just smooths it out?
The caffeine is higher in cold brew, right, No, in nitro.

(11:45):
I mean, I'm the wrong person right now. I think
what happens is the nitro is right, that the nitro
makes it smoother, whereas just a regular cold brew is
like the whole processes it's soaking in the water. The
longer the beans are in contact with water are the
more caffeinated it. Because so people think espresso actually sends
you over the edge, but actually espresso is lovely. It's concentrated,

(12:07):
but the water only pushes through really briefly, and then
you can have it and not be so shaky. But
when you're drinking this like jig of caffeinated, that's also
the problem. Yeah, I know. I was like, oh, it's
a little too early to fighting shadow. Yeah. I noticed
that when you entered the office, you actually just walked
through the door. They're just like human shaped hull in

(12:30):
the door that I was going to ask you, right,
what is something you think is underrated? Well, I think,
you know, I might have to go on the flip
side and say diner coffee. You know, you just you
just know what you're gonna get. Like, I don't even
put it in the category of all the coffee culture
right now. It's like no, no, it's when someone's like
gross compared, You're like, yeah, it doesn't care, Like diner

(12:52):
coffee is like the taco bell of coffee, right You're like, no,
it's in its own category. It's a brown, hot beverage
that tastes good with pancakes or chili or three in
the morning or whatever you're doing. It's exactly and gets
you going it. You know, I don't even know brown
shitty water that gets you going. But yeah, I was

(13:13):
not really even not really because you can drink it
before bed at like two in the morning, and yeah,
it's a beautiful thing. It's very ritualistic. It makes me
feel good. I don't like hot drinks, so that's why
I like cold brew and like all the other stuff,
because it just I don't know what it is. Don't
ask for a cold brew to to diner have a
sort of cook jam and a fork three your eye

(13:34):
or they're just like ringing out the old like other
ones are like, oh yeah, what's that I'll make, I'll
get something for you. You want a cold brew or
it's very un Japanese of you do not drink cold
or warm bevere. I know. You see my mom she's
like I think to this day contests whether or not
I'm her child. She like my mom conversely only drinks
hot shit. Yeah, never exactly, but she man. One time

(13:55):
I she was like, I got her water and it
was hot and I put past in it. And she's
like why And I'm like, because it's the water is
supposed to be hot. It's like room temperature is the coldest.
Ship gets everything else. Like my mother in law only
only drinks hot water steaming out. Interesting. Yeah, and that's
another thing too, like my aunts do that too. They
just drink like boiling water. Yeah, just straight up yeah,

(14:18):
good for you, it's good for you. But I think tepid,
like a slightly warmed water versus boiling is like you know,
the more are you evaded or sort of what's it
called like micro macrobiotic when everything's like a certain temperature,
it's easier to digest and break down water. Like I
didn't know water was hard to absorb. No, my mom

(14:39):
and her friends would just go up to like the
big ass boiling water kettle or like you know, dispenser
and just be like fill up a cup and just
like sip on that, and what did you put in there?
Hot water? I just like, I think it's a temperature.
That's why I can't drink tea because it's that much
hotter than coffee, because it is literally just boiling water
that you dunk a tea bag in, and I hate it.

(15:00):
I would love I would love to hear from a
zeit gang, like scientists or somebody who can tell us,
because this is something that I've always heard from people,
mostly in Europe and Asia, people from cultures that originated there.
Let's say that warm and hot water is better for you,
and that cold water can be bad for you if

(15:21):
you drink it too cold. And I think it's like
a controversial thing, but I would love to hear the
scientific than well. The one thing I just hear is
like with cold water, your stomach has to do more
work to get that ship back to your body term right,
but even then I don't like I'm still here baby,
right right? Ice cubes my my acupuncturist, so l a

(15:43):
that he's Chinese and his medicine that you know, it's
like Chinese practice in medicine. And every time he really
tries to get me straightened out by being like, please
just drink hot broths, no spice, please just drink like
he literally tries to push all hot beverage on me,
no spice, no fried anything. And I was like, do
you know me, like no, like I only like to

(16:04):
punish myself. And he's like, that's probably why you feel
like garbage. Uh. What is a myth? What's something people
think is true you know to be false. I was
we were having a lot of fun discussing UM restaurant
urban myths, urban legends, and myths UM on my podcast,
and we were like, okay, so this is a myth.
Maybe you guys think that when you send a dish

(16:26):
back to the chef for the kitchen, you know the
myth like oh the cooks bits on it, or you know,
the waiters are messing with it to fear at least
operating the back of people's mind exactly, and we like
really discussed that, and it's like, God, like no, absolutely not,
especially if it's a really nice place, Like if you're
not happy with your food, it's like you almost go

(16:46):
above and beyond to make this customer happy, send them
out with like you know, like feeling taken care of.
So that because now we're in this like culture of
reviewing and all this stuff, so I feel like that's
a very unfounded fear. And also it's like when your
food gets sucked with just no, it's because you had
it coming you or it's it's not it's not. No,

(17:07):
But I'm just saying like it's never a random hit,
you know what I'm saying, Like, no one's in the
restaurant industry be like let's just spit on every fifth
plate that goes out or something like that. You're like, no, no, no,
this is for dale, you know, when he's been messing
with for exactly. And just so know like if you're
a nice customer, no one's messing with your food and
be nice, expect nice exactly. But I do always think, like, right,

(17:31):
fart all over my fries. Yeah, I tell myself that
it's because of that but really I just don't like connversation.
Like it's good, I'll eat around it. The one thing
that I do think happens when you send food back
or if there's any sort of unhappiness on the part
of the eater in some like nice restaurants, is the

(17:52):
chef like gets really pissed at the waiter sometimes because
they're like you're bringing out hot enough or you didn't
communicate correctly with them, and like you may them think
they wanted this thing, you should have like gotten this other.
I aided a restaurant once in Paris actually where the yeah,
I was eating on a restaurant terms, I forget which one.

(18:12):
You could tell if you could tell that all the
waiters were like on the edge and we were kind
of like why are they so like they were like
eating your food. You better finish that, you know. And
it was lunch and we had ordered like this rabbit
thing that like was very rich, and the chef lost
it on the waiters and like flipped out on them
and they just like kind of held it together and

(18:33):
looked at their shoes shoes. But yeah, pretty crazy. As
a as a server for fifteen plus years, I can
absolutely back you up on the fact that it's we
we take the front of the impression from both. Yeah,
you're caught in the middle. You'd at you in the customer. Yeah,
it's fun. You go to work and get yelled at
all day over tip your waiters. Guys, let's talk about
Arnold Schwarzenegger. This motherfucker is seventy one years old. Sorry,

(18:58):
I know great, I'm great at trend asians. But there
was a shockingly violent moment caught on snapchat where a
young person just basically went fully horizontal and did a
flying jump kick in Arnold Schwartzenegger's back while he was
looking at the camera. And it looks really violent from

(19:19):
the close up facing him, but when you like see
the wider shot of it, the guy kind of like
bounces off of it. I was going to say he
was off. Yea personal like moves a foot forward and
it just happens to be past the camera that's shooting
the a people saw. So from that one looks like
he really got But he tweeted he was like, I

(19:40):
only realized I was kicked when I saw the video.
Like all of you, I'm just glad the idiot didn't
interrupt my Snapchat. Yeah, he really thought. I mean I
like that flex. Yeah, I thought it was the crowd.
I mean he can't help but flex. He's always flexing. O.

(20:01):
That would have killed most seventy one year olds. Oh yeah,
I mean he was there. He was there promoting fitness,
and I think maybe this was a viral marketing stunt
for fitness. Yeah, because I want to exercise now so
that I can get jump kicked in the back. Where
was he? Who's in South Africa? South Africa? Yeah, and
I I have to wonder, like, did did they ask

(20:22):
the motive of the Yeah? I went to as we
were preparing for this, I went to Google and typed
in why did that? Because I was gonna type why
did that guy kick Arnold Schwarzenegger? And I did why
did that? Space? And Google auto completed Why did that
guy kick Arnold? Why did that kid kick to Arnold?

(20:42):
Why did that man kick Arnold? Why did that guy
leave him a geyber? For some reason? But this question
was on everyone's mind, and um, it's either a case
of like a prank or mental illness. Because as the
kid was being dragged away, he shouting helped me. I
need a Lamborghini over and over again. So one way

(21:04):
or another, it's not fully rational. And the police seemed
to think that this was premeditated. This person has a
history of kind of running out and making a scene
around famous people or when they're cameras present. So um, yeah,
it's it's nothing. There's no like deeper story there other

(21:27):
than this person. I don't think Arnold is secretly like
fathered this person or anything like that, which is always
the question whether right with it? Yeah, exactly. And I
did find out why the guy left mcgever why. I
guess there he had a spat on set. Why did
the kid leaved mcgever. Why he leaved it mcgiver because

(21:49):
he had I think a salary dispute. Yeah, I wish
he had. I was like the only thing I've never
seen anything so delightfully antisocial though, like where I'm like
it really there, there's so much commitment to doing like
a flying drop kick situation. It's full on WWF ship
And you know, I really think like the only thing

(22:11):
more spectacular would have been like a round house, like
a flying round that would have been a little bit
more powerful. I think. So this is something that I
learned from one of our writers back at Cracked Sean
Baby who actually trains a m f A or mm A.
M f A trains and m f A on the
Dutch Masters. Yes, but he said one of the big

(22:34):
myths is that a flying jump kick is a good
way to hurt somebody. And he's saying it's actually the
most ineffective kick because you are giving up all your
leverage and you're off the ground. Yeah, you're off the ground.
So the other person is on the ground, so you're
running into them and have left the ground so you're
not pushing against anything. So it's actually it's a very

(22:55):
spectacular way to fall on the ground and get beaten up.
Is this? But you know, part of me, like as
a if I were a kid and I saw it,
like if I was a teenager, I may have done
something like this, like looking at Arnold schwartzening like damn
drop kick, because in my mind, like, yo, he could
take it, Arnold. Yeah, And I think that part of
me is like and he could take it in a

(23:17):
way I think everybody went right. Yeah. I had an
uncle who was a marine, and like you know, in
the eighties, growing up with like his favorite thing to
prove how tough. He was is like me and all
the scrappy little neighborhood kids. Like he'd be like, could
everyone to come over? He'd be like, everyone come at me,
and then like we'd like do like you know, flying
round house, try and throw punches, and he'd you know,

(23:39):
like we all got like thrown and scattered and like
no one could take him down. But I mean, like, yeah,
that was fun. That's what you do in Michigan. I
like that round up the kids, come at me, Tell
your friends to get over here. I'm going to take
take a punch from an eight year old. No blades
this time, no blades. That's a cool dude. But he's
like the guy he was like, he was that uncle

(24:01):
who my parents were like, what's broke doing with Matt
And like I was like, don't tell them that I
told you how to use nunchuck and like in oh,
that's awesome. All right, we're gonna take a quick break.
We'll be right and we're back, and we're just talking

(24:27):
about how Arnold's body is a little strange looking um
superducer around knee. It was saying, yeah, well yeah, as
someone who used to be a bodybuilder, I would like
to speak from that point of view, when you are
all days just gains, you know what we're saying, gains
all day, and then and then when you were bulking,

(24:49):
and you know you're eating um macro's, okay, that sounds
okay cool, what I would do at raw meat and
get your macros and you really bulk up. And when
you can't keep up that lifestyle, that's when you're stuck
with the body I have now, which is just a
very weak, unnourished formerly very healthy and so it just

(25:10):
you know, I'm top heavy, you know, but that's because
I used to be yoked and you can't put your
arms to your side exactly. It's just so right like
your body doesn't you know. It's like losing a hundred
pounds and so it's you know, I've had a couple
of surgeries, you know, I don't want people to be
like that. She used to be so muscular and something.
I've had a lot of work done for opposite reasons.

(25:31):
We've seen we've seen your magazine, thank you, you know what,
very impressive. Va. I was an athlete though in high school,
but that I god Natron Means was the nickname one
of my classmates used to give you because like I know,
because like, yeah, I remember that an old reference. Isn't

(25:51):
that funny because like we've played like teg when they
would let the girls play flag football, and so it
was like this whole like it was like an evening
and all the city comes out to watch the girls,
like you know, they call like powder puff football. But
I was really good and I was like straight army
people like I've so many touchdowns, but I was a
track runner and all this stuff. But I also didn't

(26:13):
understand how much food you should eat. So I was
like pasta party all night, you know, and I was
I was big. I was really like Ron Dane makes
what natron means and just up and to have like
a guy football player nickname you Matron, You're like cool,
you must have been in love with you. Uh you
know what. I saw him at our high school twenty
year anniversary and he's still in love with me. Yeah,

(26:37):
remember when I'm like, yeah, you don't forget that when
you're a teenage girl and you get you know, compared
to this running back or fullback from the Chargers or
whoever he was playing for at the time, What an
amazing name, though, I totally forgot. I had not heard
that even realized that name existed. I have not heard
that name in twenty years. So I'm very grateful that
jarred a part of my memory, and I think that's

(27:00):
why it also woke up Ron Dane and Round. He
was from Wisconsin, right, Yeah, Heisman winner, I believe, I believe.
And also on the cover of one of the sports
or the PlayStation and n C double A game Day games.
Yeah that's great, come on, right right? So bad with

(27:20):
sports unless it's like late eighties, early nineties like Pistons great,
which is talking about Bill Lamber for a second. Oh
he just yeah, he popped up somewhere on my Instagram
feed yesterday where someone was going in on Lambert and
just like, never forget this amazing basketball player who wore
a plastic face mask over Why did he do that
because he's kind of hunched in the face, had his

(27:42):
face broken. Um, yeah, I would imagine. I don't know.
I'm not gonna I'm not gonna presuppose that anything about
Bill Lambier. He I think is a w NBA coach
maybe or it was a w NBA coach women's basketball,
which more power to him. We'll do a deep dive

(28:02):
on him and Joe Dumars. Yes, yes, let's John Spider
Sally Spider. Spider is such a creepy nickname. They call
me the Spider. What shifty and spider. That that does
enable you to call somebody and say spatter caught a
flash batter like from both previous That's not what you

(28:26):
want to hear somebody say as you're passing out at
their feet. New Anyways, let's talk about Justin Amosh or
Amosh or however. We're talking about Michigan Monster Mesh from
Western Michigan, I believe, very conservative district. Over the weekend, man,
he was out here on his Twitter with some fighting words.

(28:46):
You just finished the Maller Report. You can do anohing
by reading it and just finally when you read with
your finger, takes a while to get through all those pages.
But he basically said, Hey, I read the whole mother report.
Have my staff chime in. We all looked at everything,
and what I've realized is the president has uh indeed
committed impeachable offenses. Yeah, whoa huh, I'm sorry. And this

(29:08):
is this is a man who rode the tea party
wave into Congress. So this is not some you know,
Obama Jr. Right person, which the right was very quick
to try and paint him as like heaven McCarthy went,
and I was like, I mean, this guy votes with
Nancy Pelosi more than he does with Trump, so you
know it makes sense. But you know, if you look
at his record, he was voting over nine of the
time with Trump. So this is just somebody who I

(29:30):
don't know what happened, because up until now, everybody with
an are in parentheses by their name has done pretty
good to act like they can't read or don't know
what obstruction is, or what the law is, or what
good or bad is, or news or facts. And I
feel like he called that out to where he's just like,
I'm like one of the only people in the GOP
who's actually read the whole report. You now, basically, you know,

(29:54):
it's the way we all act, where it's like we
react to a headline and then don't do the research.
And then when he suddenly be you know, we're like, oh,
maybe I should look into this, and you're like, oh,
I was wrong. I mean, you know all my takes
from Twitter, right, Yeah, Well, the President had a response
in miles, you do a better try. I mean you
could only imagine right where the first like in office.

(30:17):
There's clearly been a bunch of former politicians who have
been on the right who have come out against Trump.
But this is you know him in office. I think
you know has him a little bit shook, okay, because
no one's done this and he said never a fan
of Justin Amash, a total ledweight who opposes me and
some of our great Republican ideas and policies just for
the sake of getting his name out there through controversy.

(30:38):
If you actually read the biased Butler report, composed by
aging angry dams who hated Trump, he would see that
it was nevertheless strong a no collusion and ultimately no obstruction. Anyway,
how do you obstruct when there's no crime and it
act the crimes were committed by the other side? Justin
as a loser who opponents Justin loser. I mean that's

(31:02):
all he needed to tweet, yea or at justinmas ha
ha loser. So Chris Koon's Democrat thinks that there might
be more Republicans who are out there who just aren't
speaking up, but who have read the Mueller Report and
therefore know what it says. We have a clip of

(31:23):
him talking. Um. Okay, were you surprised to see a
Republican justin Ahmosh saying that the president, I mean saying
so um overtly that the president did engage in impeachual conduct.
I was surprised to see Republican congressmen saying publicly what
I think many are thinking privately, which is those who
have read the Malla Report cannot avoid the conclusion that

(31:45):
the president and some of his absolutely core advisors engaged
in um profoundly disappointing, reprehensible conduct, conduct that would rise
to the level of an obstruction of justice charge if
he were anyone other than president. So you don't think
that Republicans with aking that privately? Do you? What makes
you say that? Conversations? So it's not so private. Um,

(32:07):
there are very few who would be willing to say
publicly that this conduct is reprehensible for a president. But
you have spoken to Republicans who have shared with you
that they think that it's also impeachable. There's a big
difference between thinking that the Mala Report reveals conduct that
is deeply disappointing inappropriate, even borderline were actually illegal, and

(32:27):
saying they would vote to remove the president. I have
not spoken to a single Republican senator who would vote
to remove the president. Many privately expressed concerns about what
was revealed in the Malla report, in part because of
the gap between what Attorney General bar characterized as being
in the Mala report um and what was actually in
the Mala Report. For those who have taken the time
to read through it, m I think he just took

(32:50):
a big sip of tea right after that, and that's
the tea I like the Like, Now, if you choose
to not read it, then no wan believe and what
do you want to believe? You know? But once you
do read it, you're going to have to make some
sort of I don't know, judgmental call. Your brain might
have to start working starting. But that's what's Yeah, what's

(33:12):
funny is I mean, because look, there's clearly enough votes
in the House to move this a peachment thing along.
It's the Senate, where clearly there's nobody who's even close
to the thinking of Justin Amash even entertained being like
I might vote for that. But yeah, because everything's in
their hands at that point once it moves out of
the house, So I mean, is he going to be primaried?

(33:36):
And like, did the immediately find the fucking second that tweet?
I think he hit tweet. There was like and we
have a primary, we have a primary candidate to go
up against Justin. I mean, who knows if you get
taken down and right, I know in on the news
they were in like Western Michigan asking people, They're like,
what do you think? And while they weren't quick to
be like Justin a mash is wrong, like this one

(33:58):
woman was sort of like, you know, um, I disagree.
I think, you know, did the usual stuff. I think
the president's great, he's helping people in the economy, and
was then sort of like, but you know, if that's
his opinion, I respect that, I just don't agree with it. Right,
But it wasn't like the kind of thing where like
on Twitter you'd see people like this guy's a fucking snake.

(34:18):
That's what's kind of dangerous is like people who aren't
going to outright I guess right Justin Amashov, if you're
a supporter of his, it would get you thinking a
little bit. They'll be like well, he just said, should
I read it? But I don't. I'm not counting on it.
Michigan's Uh, it's a really interesting place just to kind
of take a temperature on where politics are I think

(34:38):
in this country. And my mom, my mom actually Kathleen
van Poplin k VP. She was just featured in a
weekend spread in the Detroit Free Press because my mom
is a lifelong Republican who started voting Democrat at mid
terms and um, we were canvassing for LISTA Slotkins. She's
a congresswoman who went um unseated Mike bishop U a

(34:58):
twenty eight year long like Republican health seat, all this stuff,
but people cannot get enough of my mother because she's
that like really specific demographic of Republican women who don't
like basically the slimy nature of the GOP. Even though
they may have felt more in line politically, they're just like,
we can't really stay in line and step with this party,
and so they're flipping. But it's complicated because then you

(35:21):
you know, I'm like great, welcome mom, you know, or whatever,
like and she's like no, no, no, no, no, slow
like like you know, you and your wildlife and whatever.
But I'm not gonna start eating kale brook right now,
I know, you know, like we have and we end
up having like really good, healthy, uh conversations about you know,
access to abortion or whatever, which never used to be

(35:42):
even just like a conversation. But so it's really interesting
to watch. You know, everyone loves to hate on boomers,
but I mean those are my parents, and my parents
are actually getting cooler and smarter every couple of years
that go by, and of completely, I mean they just
this president just I think has just done something to
crack open so many people who maybe we're okay, just
sticking with party lines, and then now they're asking themselves like,

(36:05):
can I if I'm a quote unquote person with morals
also Christian or whatever? Like am I walking the walk
and talking to talk if I stay in line with
this person? You know? And so um, it's really interesting
to just go and see the people of Michigan are
like all over the place, but they have good reason
to be. You know, just just come on, everybody, start
using our little our minds a little bit more for

(36:26):
doctor parents, yeah, whatever, anyone ever, due to the people
in Michigan, you know, Flynn has I think clean drinking
on the way. But I mean, how many years too late?
It's only incremental, but you can bay then at least
just not safely if you're a child. Yeah, I think
I think Trump is like when when you speak about

(36:47):
generational things, I think there's a lot of ways where
he's in which he's the logical extension of a lot
of things that generationally like happened with that generation, like
sort of narcissary zone and dishonesty and stuff that I
think I think he there is an opportunity for that
generation to be like, oh okay and like kind of

(37:10):
do a self correct on on some of the more
selfish aspects of Yeah. But but they're also tight boomers
out there, you know what I mean. If you're tight,
if you tight, go talk to other boomers. Well that
that's just it. It's like we have to talk to
boomer parents and then they have to, you know, just
get a shipload of wine and invite their boomer friends
over and I'll get legs infandel drunk and then have

(37:33):
like real conversations. But you know, right, I think just
from being there, excuse me from being from the Midwest,
it's like I do have that like, um, I love
living in my bubbles. Don't get me wrong, I'm very
happy in my liberal bubbles. But when you're from the Midwest,
you understand like a lot of different sides and you
and you want to demonize that everyone's an idiot, mouth breathing,
like and you're like, no, it's just a really different

(37:54):
life in Michigan, you know, and uh, but yeah, that's
just it is. These boomers are talking to each other,
and especially the appeal from woman to woman. Is the
biggest deal that we can work on, is that age bracket.
Because because my mom puts it, she's like, I just
don't like him, you know. She's like, he's just very rude.
And that's not how I was raised to talk to people,
you know. And it's like, if you can just get
mombed really hard by KVP, like you can change minds. KVP,

(38:18):
get out there, right. She is a VP and the
k vps of our country. Let's do this, all right.
Speaking of things that are angering President Trump, he's not
happy with. Fox News is coverage of a Democratic presidential
candidate by the name of Pete Buddha Edge who had

(38:39):
his fox Town Hall and this was kind of the
second Fox Town hall with one of the Democratic candidates,
where it was like a highlight reel of dunks and
just like, let me, let me dunk on you on
your homecoming, on your head. Yeah, and so Trump was like,
what the funk is going on? Uh? And even a
lot of people on Fox We're wondering the same thing.

(39:02):
Some of the people who are more in the you know,
state run propaganda wing of the network, We're like, well,
why why is this happening? I mean, how do we right? Well,
we had a good I mean, our politics don't fully aligned,
but I did enjoy him going to Fox's house and
taking a dump on some of the people who are

(39:23):
on that network on their own channel. And you know,
I think a lot of the audience was really receptive
to what he was saying. But just just listen to
this moment where he has to talk about Tucker in
Laura Ingram. The other thing we've got to do is
we've got to find people where they are. You know,
a lot of folks in my party were critical of
me for even doing this with Fox News, and I've

(39:45):
heard that and I get where that's coming from, especially
when you see what goes on with some of the
opinion hosts on this network. I mean, when you got
Tucker Carlson saying that immigrants make America dirty, when you've
got Laura Ingram comparing detention centers children in cages to
summer camps summer camps, then there is a reason why

(40:06):
anybody has to swallow hardened thing twice before participating in
this media ecosystem. But I also believe that even though
some of those hosts are not always there in good faith,
I think a lot of people tune into this network
who do it in good faith. And and there are
a lot of Americans who my party can't blame if
they are ignoring our message, because they will never hear
it if we don't go on and talk about it.

(40:28):
And so it's why, whether it's going into the viewership
of Fox News or whether geographically it's going into places
where Democrats haven't been seen much, I think we've got
to find people where they are, not change our values,
but update our vocabulary so that we're truly connecting with
Americans from coast to coast. All right, well, did we
cut it off before all the booze came in? And yeah,

(40:53):
people people want so badly to be right about who
they're against. And it's call it exposure therapy. You know
what I'm saying. If you feel like you're not able
to hang out with people you view is different from you,
that you don't naturally cross paths, it's easier to stay
in your little like online you know, Facebook hate group

(41:14):
sort of version of life. And you know, I gotta
say I I do have mixed feelings about candidates going
on Fox News. But the way Pete handled that was
he said what people need to hear. There was something
very healing about what he said. And I don't think
people want to be in this huge fight. It's like
the minute you see someone face to face, you're like,

(41:35):
oh man, I'm sorry, can everything be cool again? You know?
And him crossing over um like that because now it
fox me up because I was really excited about Elizabeth
Warren being like I am not putting money because I
saw her point too. But then I was also like,
but she will just continue to be mocked and hated
when she has so many amazing points about being raised poor,

(41:56):
like finishing your degree at a commuter college or whatever,
and you're sort of like ship. Maybe that was because
you see the effect that her thing was sort of like,
I don't want to help their ad revenue machine at
all because that's what it's going to be. And aside
from obviously getting in front of that audience, I just
don't like she says it's a hate for profit racket,
but I think it's very appropriate. And then at the

(42:19):
same time, yeah, you also don't want her to get
mothered by having Fox dictate what the like, what how
they're you know, covering her or whatever, because it basically
you get a lot of clarity when you see this
person in front of you on your channel, especially when
you're not willing to go there. But who knows. I mean,
as it heats up, you'd hope people would look at
other candidates, but it is a it is a very

(42:41):
you know, you're damned if you do, you damn if
you don't. Kind of Um. So, how did Fox and
Friends respond to like, how did they cover something? Oh
my god? I mean you remember when Bernie was on,
they were like, I don't know that that was weird.
This time they had another theory why these people were
cheering and hoot and holleran for this man, not because
maybe he said something they agreed with, but check this

(43:03):
one out. If you're going to go to the polls
and vote for him, you've got to know where he
stands on these issues. He's extremely progressive, want to get
rid of the electoral College in New Hampshire, which would
diminish their effect this. But he also people clapped loudly
when he said that because they were all his friends.
I think it's he's related to the whole audience. Oh,

(43:23):
doesn't make sense to say out loud. I think he's
related to the whole audience, right, they're all his friends,
they're all ah, they all love him, probably, but look
if you if he was just a little more articulate,
I think what he was trying to say was I
have a feeling that was mostly his supporters that were
in that audience, right, rather but it comes out he's

(43:44):
related to all of them. But I mean the Fox
and Friends and the bubble that they represent. From a
informational standpoint, like, I think it's a good reflection that
you just can't make sense of what you're watching, that
there are people that don't agree with you, and so
they're just like it must be a conspiracy of some sort.

(44:06):
Well that's what that's what Trump also said yeah, then
tweeted alrd to believe that Fox News is wasting airtime
on Mayor Pete is Chris Wallace likes to call him
kind of it is his name, okay, moving on his
name and title boxes, moving more and more to the
losing wrong side and covering the Dems. They got dumped
from the Democrats boring debates and they just went in.

(44:29):
They forgot the people who got them there. Chris Wallace said,
I actually think, whether you like his opinions or not,
that Mayor Pete has a lot of substence, fascinating biography.
G he never speaks well of me. I like Mike
Wallace better and Alfred E. Newman will never be president. Oh,
ALFREDY Newman is his nickname the mad magazine mascot and
his nickname for Pete bohedge full sick killer reference by

(44:54):
so up to date and current, you know, because kids
love spy versus spy and folding up that back cover
to make another image. Do you think he knows that
ALFREDY Newman is not a real person. I don't care. Yeah,
I'm gonna believe that he does think he's a real person.
Missed opportunities when the word but is in his last name,
and oh that'll happen if made Trump. It's it's I

(45:16):
don't know, if he's a little broad. Yeah, I like
Alfredy says that all the time. Then Buddha Jedge comes
back without what me worry poster? Wasn't that Alfredy Newman's like, yeah,
that's what you should just weaponize that? What because he did?
Like they're asked about you know this this presidential campaign
again messy? What about the tweets? Like what do you
think about the nasty rhetoric? He goes, I don't care. Yeah,

(45:38):
good answer, but yeah again, you know, I think I
know the d n c's official stance, like we're not
gonna put any of our people like up there, but
a lot of them after seeing these two are wanting
more and more. I think Amy Klobuchar has one coming up.
All right, we're gonna take a quick break and we'll
be back with some Game of Throne spoilers. And we're

(46:04):
back and uh so over the weekend, Game of Thrones
aired its final episode and Miles, you guys had a
viewing party here yep, kids only, kids only. Yeah, I
was not around. Well you had you had other uh
prior engagement? Yea when standing and go factor yourself. Yes,

(46:27):
very great, very great moment for everyone involved. Yeah, we
watched here, you know, we put it on the projection screen.
Everyone got excited. We were like, you know, uh, Sophie
super producer was taken bets or not bets, but just
kind of pulling the audience of who we thought was
going to die? Uh And we got one right because
the only one person died? Is that true? Yeah? I
guess only I mean that we would have mentioned that

(46:50):
was worth talking about. You guys didn't guess the Lanister soldiers. No,
I there was random innocent bystanders, but we all thought
that was a yeah. Um yeah, I don't know. I
noticed the results that said Denis all John nine people
did he was going to go so broke? Are you

(47:11):
a Thrones watcher? Yeah? What were your thoughts? I mean,
this is I know, I know, I was like whole
season into the world. It couldn't land it, you know.
All right, let's take it's point by point, right, I
guess first the first of whoa, what the fun was
that moment? John snow marks Danny? Yeah, Well, actually the

(47:32):
first what the fun was That moment was when they
pulled up on Danny and you see her for the
first time and the dragon wings come out behind her.
Everyone's like, oh, that was so lame or like that
was like two on the nose. Uh, But that had
people swit. I mean whatever, I thought it was fucking dope.
Like Edgar Mont Pazier Culture King was like, yeah, that's

(47:53):
something I would have written when I was fourteen. It's
so it made me laugh out loud for sure. I
was like, yeah, I would have written that too when
I was fourteen, and I was right as fun, well,
I would have written Jurassic Park when I was Fortunately,
I totally understand how people are, like they rolled their
eyes at it, but also like just sort of as
a composition image wise, that was very interesting to see.

(48:15):
But again this shows you like, I'm not invested at
the level where I'm getting angry at how the shots
are composed because I've completely disconnected myself emotionally from the show.
After the Battle of Winterfeld, I keeps saying that every
motherfucker should have died there and then we could have
made the show anyway. So, yes, that was one moment,
but I guess the other main flash point, right was
when John stabs his aunt, his love, his aunt aunt

(48:42):
in her heart. You know we all have that fun
aunt Yeah with you you got uncle Mike who's like
come at me, and then his wife who's training Komodo
dragons to use flamethrowers. So, yeah, stabbed in the heart.
And as Jamie Loftus pointed out to you, she didn't
know that getting stabbed in the heart gave you a nosebleed?

(49:04):
Does that give you a NOSEBLA? I don't know everything.
Maybe you know, if it's in your chest, your blungs
will fill with blood. And that's what I'll come out of. Man.
I thought it was good. It was like John reluctantly
doing the right thing and you know, being tortured over it,
which seemed to be in keeping with his character. I
was very happy that he then didn't like go on

(49:26):
to take the throne because he That was my main
concern is that I thought they were going to do
that because he was like pitched kind of as the
prince who was promised and he was just so whack
all season and so like indecisive, and this episode seemed
to make it like it seemed to acknowledge that that
was like part of his character flaw was like he

(49:46):
didn't want the throne, and there you don't get the throne, right,
You're just a cog in the narrative machine that keeps
it moving. Yeah, you were a cog. You were you know,
enough of a funk boy to get that close to
the queen and you did your part. And the sucker move, Yeah,
pulled a soccer move, but a soccer move that was
what was needed for the ultimate fate that the three

(50:06):
i'd raven wanted to see go down. Um, so I was.
I was good with it. I liked the Dragon. I
thought the dragon should have just you know, disintegrated vaporizes, right,
that would have been dope. But I mean see the
reasons I didn't like it and I did not like
it wasn't because of what was happening. It's just because

(50:27):
everything was so fucking rushed, Like if if there were
another season involved and like that that was ultimately how
the show ended, and they would actually you know, this
show was a very like it's a slow roasting piece
of meat, you know, that was with every turn got
a little bit more flavor. And it wasn't instant gratification,
which I think that was the tempo of the show.
But once Benny often White took over, we like got

(50:49):
this like hyper accelerated version of the story and a
lot that's when people started being like yo, what everything
started to feel rushed, and I think a lot of
the issues people had were as a result of that.
For me, the fucking sam Well bringing the book out
like I was, I rolled my eyes so hard I
nearly looked like I was working um brand being. I'm like, whatever,

(51:13):
that's fine. I get that. I think that's a good ending,
because I don't think I didn't really think Danny or
John should have been sitting on that throne. I think
everything was sort of being shown to us that that
was going to be the case and the thing they
claimed that they wanted, which was for the wheel to
be broken and for you know, this cycle of just
people killing each other and warring like this was the

(51:33):
only real clear shot for that to come to an end.
So I thought, like, theoretically it made sense. I mean,
they did, they break the wheel, the New Kings in
a wheelchair. That's good, that's good politics. You should you
should take that on the road, and absolutely, but my god,

(51:56):
it just was a The whole season was a big long,
slow art and I'm glad as over all, right, I
liked it, so i'll talk about why I like it.
I'll tell you. Let me allow me a counterpoint. Okay,
So the second half the the take that I liked.
Paton Oswalt tweeted something to the effect of bad TV

(52:17):
good governance. So I thought the second half was not
necessarily great TV. I mean, all series finales you're gonna
have like the montage where it's like and then they
go on to sail the seas and you know, like
some overly kind of optimistic version of their future. I
still like the part where they're ruling, where Tyrian gets

(52:42):
like is sitting there and worrying about shit as stupid,
as like what the seats look like before the meeting,
like that is I don't know. I thought. I thought
it was actually like a good sign of how the
world operates now, like if you think about it, as
he just watched them live through West Ross. Dark Ages

(53:03):
and the Dark Ages are obviously good TV because dark
shit is entertaining and it shows us a part of
humanity that's always there in us but lives under the
surface in a properly functioning society, but now they're out
of that because Brand knows what he's doing, since he
knows everything and can work into every animal. Could be

(53:24):
a weird surveillance state thing there, but we won't worry
about that. And like, I get that it was disappointed
from a dramatic perspective, but I actually think this should
be the Democrats platform for bad TV good governance, because like,
we've lived through a period in our history where it's

(53:44):
great TV because we have the naked, stupid ambition of
a president who is weaponizing hate and he doesn't try
to hide it at all, and he's trying to torture
everyone and feed Democrats their own dicks, and it's good TV.
But the only truly happy ending is for society to

(54:05):
sit down and decide they're tired of good TV and
ready for the world to turn back into c span
for a while. Well, I think that could work. But
I think if we're comparing where we are right now
to Game of Thrones, I think we're in season three, right,
you know what I mean? So we ain't just oh yeah,
I'm not bad there. I'm just saying it's a hopeful ending. Too,
but I haven't heard of the aversion and ending people

(54:28):
wanted that wasn't like, oh, they should have killed this
motherfucker and killed that motherfucker died. I see. That's what
they did to us as a show, right. They created
this blood lust in everybody, right, and to the point
where I was like, motherfucker's better die. They better. And
I don't know why. It's not necessarily that certain times
it was servicing the narrative in any way, but it
was like this expectation of like, yeah, people can get

(54:51):
their's yeah, because like I'm a fantasy nerd, you know,
Like I was like, you know, Fellowship of the Rings
in the Hobbit all the way, you know, and then
to watch the this and then get so acclimated to
barbaric deaths at all times that like I feel like
the ending kind of had that like lovely little like
flute music, Fellowship of the Ring like all exactly a

(55:11):
sort of thing. But then I was just exactly I
also kind of just wanted that the dragon had dropped
Denarius into the ocean. I don't know why. I just
I don't know why. I just like splash. But okay,
another thing in that episode this is unforgivable. See, there
are a lot of things that were unforgivable. I understand
if maybe just as a whole thing, you're saying, fine,

(55:33):
I'm I'm good with the episode, but how are they
just gonna jump cut basically fast forward to being like, Okay,
my my man's just killed Denares and then we get
Bearded tearing coming out and we're like, oh, some time lapsed,
Like that would have been a very those that would
have been a scene I really would have wanted to see,
at the very least of how he was going to
navigate explaining how this happened. I thought, yeah, there was

(55:56):
some ship that they yacht outed over that I thought
was unforgivable. That because I was like kind of out
on john snow by that point, Like I feel like
it just would have been him like walking out with
his like you know, just got done crying eyes and
being like a stabbed to the queen in the heart
and then like having to you know, get thrown in jail,
and I I just feel like it would have been dead.

(56:18):
But there would have been a moment. I feel like
if someone if grad Joy is trying to kill him
or something, you would have seen other people pull up
for Johnson. You would have seen people would have picked sides. Yeah,
and I want to see that because suddenly this man's
in prison with his nice beard and we don't know
what happened, and like and then tearing. He's just sort
of summing it all up with his speech when you
could have shown all of that. But again, this is

(56:39):
a function of them not having enough time to do
anything like that. This was like when I when I
turned in the first draft of a pilot and they're like,
stop with the montages. You need you know, like because
you're like, like, I ought to get thirty five pages
of history. Too much exposition, so much exposition. But yeah,
and then also, okay, so there was I mean, so why,

(57:01):
just real quick on that scene that was the centerpiece.
Why do we think Drogan did what he did. Did
he know that blind ambition had killed his queen or
did he just see that she had been stabbed and
see a chair made of stabby things and be like
you damn chair of geopolitics and the thirst for empire.

(57:28):
I liked that, man. I liked the Dragon ended up
being like, I don't know. I liked the way Dragon
went out he's like this damn family chair so many
that's basically what if if if he had a line,
he would have said this it's this damn and that

(57:50):
would have melted it down. But again, you know he
flew off whatever. Everyone just basically like and then they
were never seen, like just sailed boat off the edge
of the earth because it's flat. That's why I wanted
her to drop. I wanted him to drop from the
ocean because I was like, why are the funk not
They're just they're like funking everything. What do you think

(58:12):
is west of wester of the of the or the maps?
No man, nobody knows. That's why it's the restaurant. It's
hedonism too. In Jamaica, somebody tweeted off find out who
they were, Like what if she discovered America? That would
have been please suck at anything. I mean, I was
so cynical that when Tyrian was like trying to decide
who was going to be the king and he's like,

(58:34):
but what unites people? Stories? I thought he was going
to break the fourth wall, look directly in the camera
and be like, hbo, have we not provided you with stories? Okay,
this feels right at this point in an upcoming slate
of wonderful, engaging TV shows, who replaced your Sunday Night
the Watchman, We've got Meryl Streep and she pops her

(58:54):
head up behind one of the like and you're like
and then goes back. It's like, can you believe this
concentration of to anyway? I believe brand should be the King,
you know, the West or the Speaking of West or else.
The West World teaser for season three got me I
gotta watch that. Yeah, yeah, they're the things that I
was mad that he had. The beast was John being

(59:17):
like there's still a Night's Watch and the like for
what and then being like, yep, okay, moving your punishment
is to go work like basically Manna Radar station in
the last like what what's the threat at this point? Yeah?
I mean I guess he gets to live like a
wild ling, which is what he's always been at heart.
And then I still in piss that we never found
out how are you got got right up behind the

(59:39):
night King? Some people I never expressed that, they're like, well,
she knows that's her whole, Like that's her vibe, she
knows that area so well, or yeah, exactly like and
I think it would have been easy to explain, like
there's a these are clever people, like they could have
written a clever like way that she got up behind
them or something. Um. Anyways, uh my real question that

(01:00:02):
the yadda yadded past. I think the one inexcusable thing
that they included, yes, was the it's called the ice
game of ice and fire. Nice that was whacked. Um,
but how did sounds to no, Brands, dick doesn't work
because paraplegics. That's not always the case for paraplegic. Yeah,
I'm I don't know. Yeah, I'm glad you flagged this

(01:00:25):
is a thing. No, right, was she asking him where's
that scene? Yeah? Where's that scene where there's a because
I can't imagine her like them having like gossip, like
you know, just over lunch being like so like like
what do you think it's sandy? She's cute, right, brand
I don't know, not work or something. Oh no, oh,

(01:00:48):
I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, so sorry. Yeah, I mean, look,
the Knights, I guess the nice watches just like the
Minutemen like border patrol typeoos who are just like fighting
an enemy that doesn't exist. Right, But I guess they've
created a new immigrant population north of the wall. So
then when brands in the seat of power, he can
point to this obscure enemy that the people can't see

(01:01:08):
to justify his own oppression of his own people, I mean,
or something like that, like brand knew she was going
to burn the city down, so anything we're mad at
other characters for having done Brand knew that was gonna
happen so that he could eventually get into power and
so he could be a good king. So I mean,
that's a I don't know, that's kind of a mind
funk when you think about it, but that I'm that

(01:01:31):
I'm good with. But then there's also things like, yeah,
there's so many things. It's like why did we have
to know like if he was the true king? I mean,
I get that that was a device to help Deniriss
arc a little bit, but there are so many yeah, yeah,
or the like finding out who he actually is, that
he's agon or whatever. Um. But there were other like

(01:01:52):
just things that when you look at the show and
like what they were building up to, we were meant
to think there were so many other things that were important,
like like are you only changed the faces one time.
I thought she was going to be the fucking the
woman with a thousand faces. You don't know that's that
might have been how she got up behind the night King.
But again we don't I don't know. This is not

(01:02:13):
the report where I still don't know. But I can
look at this and say, well, they did not show
me that because it's a show where they have to
show me. Do you think the shot behind Danny when
the dragon like flies off, do you think that was
Aria in a dragon mask? And then that's how she
got up right next to John Snow inside there do
we think? Yeah? I don't think that. Uh, she turned

(01:02:38):
into this dog. I thought Amelia Clark, who played to Narius,
was incredible and like the whole for the whole show,
and really good in this episode. And there there was
some great stuff on social media or I guess in
the New Yorker I guess the New Yorkers social media.
Now um that she's worried that Beyonce say is not

(01:03:00):
going to be a fan of Danny's He'll turn Yeah,
she was really sweating it. Apparently she was at an
Oscar's after party that was being hosted by Beyonce and
Jay Z and she fucking apparently Beyonce pulled up to
her at this party to talk to her, and this
is from Amelia Clark. She said, quote, I see this vision,
this angel, this incredible woman float towards me, and Beyonce

(01:03:21):
says to me, Oh my goodness, it's so wonderful to
meet you. I think you're brilliant. I just couldn't handle it.
I was on the verge of tears. I could see
myself reflected in her eyes. I could see her go,
oh no, I misjudged this. This girl is crazy, and
I'm not going to have a real conversation with another celebrity.
I'm having a conversation with a crazed fan who's looking
at me like a rabbit in the headlights, which is
exactly what I was. I said, I've seen you live

(01:03:43):
in concert, and I think you're amazing and wonderful and wonderful,
and she said, And the whole time, all I wanted
to scream was please please still like me, even though
my character turns into a mass killing dictator. Please still
think that I'm representing women in a really fabulous way.
So yeah, I get an. Amelia. We were all well
showed the complexities of power. Yeah, and what it does

(01:04:06):
to all women and what happens. We have a bunch
of dudes writing and directing it, right and yeah or
or right they got the rightful heir to the throne.
You know, He's like, if I can't have it, neither
of us can have it. Just ruining everything for the ladies. Ah,
but you know that was it was an emotional commitment
to get through it. It's is the best way to
put it is. It's just like I have to do

(01:04:27):
it because I came this far. But it wasn't as
fun as the other seasons. Yeah, you know that's probably fair.
I mean there were like the Battle Winterfell was fun
because I was That's like a Helm's Deep type episode.
Gain Bowl was dope, and then you know whatever everything else.
I thought, Danny's death seen and the dragon coming in

(01:04:48):
with dope. I will remember that, I think. But would
you get it tatted? Yeah, just like across my back
your throat, yeah yeah, might clash with my other neck
tat your Frankenstein bull yeah? Um? And that monster energy

(01:05:11):
um yeah, I just I love picturing you with a
fucking gnarly Monster Energy logo on your neck? Is that gang,
please photoshop that, please please? Well, Brooke, it has been
a pleasure of having you always. Sorry, sorry to end
