And we are thrilled to be joined in our third seed.
I guess who has not been here in a while,
and I've been wondering where he's been, and I'm glad
he's back. He is a hilarious comedian, he is a
great podcast host. He's a philosopher. He is somebody who,
(02:43):
when it's convenient for me, I will call a friend.
He's welcome, Mr Daniel van Kirk. What's up, buddy? How
are you? Man? Hello? Hi everyone? Hi? Hi? Have you been?

and a lot. I'm just add in cities and legs
to uh too much together tour. So you just keep
(03:05):
him busy adding legs like a spider and doing some
festivals and stuff like that. So what what festivals you
doing this year? I did sketch Fest in January and
then in April to Moon Tower, and in a couple
of weeks I'll be doing Clusterfest. Where's Clusterfest? That is
the Comedy Central festival in San Francisco. Oh dope, yeah, man,
(03:27):
I guess my invit got lost? No they sate, Okay,
thank you. I'm waiting. I'll check. I didn't submit. And
I'm not really the median by trade, but you're actually
way to get down. It's a new level of patronization.
Uh well, Daniel, Before people get to know you and
I get to know even better, let's tell people what
(03:48):
we're talking about. First. Robert Downey is he going to
save the world. Maybe he's Tony Stark. He thinks he's
Tony Stark. Could try. I think he's done too many movies.
It's cute, yeah, as yeah, and can you cosplay when
you are the person though that you are on screen.
It's a terrible cycle, you know, how do you get out?
(04:09):
We'll check in on the Trade Wars Mexico edition. I mean,
we know about the China ones, how those are not
going well at all and how that's impacting the economy.
But you know, just also we'll talk about this new
distraction the president is trying to create because the Mulla
Report says that he needs to be impeached. UM. Also
talk about the new cruelty alert because Trump has now
(04:30):
taken away the legal representation recreation uh and education. Uh
sort of not rights, I guess, but yeah, rights or
ability to to have recreational time or education and things
like that from these migrant kids, using a very very
lame loophole. Uh. And then we'll check in, you know,
just was you know, been a hot week for the
(04:51):
right with its straight pride parades or other things going on?
Twitter parade. Uh, well, I'll let Tommy Laron speak on
that later. UM, And then a new x meent movie,
which I'm excited about, and we'll leave that there. But first, Daniel,
what is something from your shirt history that's revealing about
(05:12):
who you are? I will I grab this down here too.
This was like yesterday Black Raven Russian song lyrics? Was that?
Are you guys watching Chernobyl? I'm about to, man, I
know I'm behind so many good things about it there.
Every time someone talks about it, they have some kind
(05:33):
of visceral and and we'll get into it, I imagine
because I will find a way too. But and that's
how I feel about it, and it's number two on
my list right now. But uh so there's a prices
in that, right yes, crushing to prequel to Madman. He
uh you know what that there's a double spoiler in there,
(05:56):
if you know what I'm talking about. So uh Um,
I didn't even think that till now. I'm gonna have
my own podcast for a second, or I think about
the reference I just made and how maybe there's people
out there who are also tracking where I'm tracking. Um,
it's very good. In an episode of it, a soldier
I'm not giving anything away. A soldier in Russia sings
(06:16):
a song. The title is translated from Russia to black
Raven and it's so perfectly done and like haunting. I
wanted to know what the lyrics were of this song.
It's very, very, very good. Are the lyrics haunting? Yeah? Yeah,
it's about it. I can remember some of them. It's
(06:38):
um something like a man married another woman, and his
woman the woman was his sword. Basically, he's like given
his life to the military. I love when my woman.
That's uh uh. First time I saw that done was
full metal jacket. Remember this is my Yeah, and they
(06:58):
like you love it and you treat it. But it's
a it's a very haunting, like Russian as fuck song,
just dark, dreary, Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean the
fucking I just remember the trailer had me fucked up
when it was just the warning thing and I was
like asking people who listen, I like, if you speak Russian,
what's that warning thing over? And they're like, it's warning
(07:19):
And you know, there's a company podcast with Chernobyl HBO
produced a podcast. It's unreal. I've been listening to the
podcast and I haven't watched the show. Ye are you
for real? Yeah? That's interesting, but I like is it
about the show. Yeah, I just want to know everything
about production before I even late. That's not a bad idea.
You'll still really dig it. But it excited. It's uh,
(07:41):
it's intent. Some of the best, some of the best
writing I've seen in a very or listen to in
a very long time. Okay, so what's underrated? Then? Wait,
wasn't that my search history? What's underrated is uh? Forgive
me if I'm saying this wrong. It is not for
lack of love. Underrated right now? Is Jaharald Jerones performance
as Corey Wise? And when they see us? Have you
(08:03):
guys watched when they see us? I have not? I know. Look,
let me tell you something, you guys for when they
see us, it's it's kind of difficult for me to
like to tide through it. I had to stop the
first episode. I had to go away from it. Yeah,
I mean the trailer. I was like, man like, okay,
I mean like, because I'm I'm aware of the story,
but part of me is like, I'm a little fragile
(08:25):
right now to dive into a thing that will bring
to the forefront of my mind just how unjust the
legal system is. In the words of Ryan Sickler, great comic. Yeah, yeah, no, seriously,
and I think and I think it's one of those.
But for precisely that reason, I think it's important for
people to watch it, especially, you know, anybody who might
(08:46):
not be aware of if or if you think you
don't understand how violently oppressive systemic racism is in this country.
Let's take a look at something like that and the
New York Cops in the eighties. Did you see the
documentary the seven five? Come on? Come on? So this
is in that era, and it is I'm gonna make
(09:08):
sure sitting don't and I might even be pronouncing right,
but Jaharald Jerome's performance. You might know him from Moonlight,
little film Moonlight, which is also phenomenal. Uh. I don't
think it will always, in my opinion, be underrated because
there it isn't possible to accurately rate it or overrate it.
It is. It might be one of the best acting
(09:29):
performances I've seen in my entire life. I'm still like haunted.
You know what, you what You've seen the wire. You know,
after a while on the wire, You're like, well, these
are those people, like these are those people? He embodies
his character so beautifully and with so much strength and
every every element of humanity that I think he's gonna
(09:53):
have an amazing career. Uh in front of him he
already obviously has a great one. But um, you're like,
well you you or that and you just were Corey
Wise right right right? Uh damn the duverne Um. It's
a masterpiece. I mean, people, you have to watch and
it was at number one for you when you say
right now two yeah, yeah for right now. Yeah. I
(10:16):
came two things that I've that are like in my
queue that I'm actually I think this weekend I'm gonna
have to and I kind of want to make I
saw a great tweet that maybe she retweeted that somebody
was like, instead of asking black people have you seen
when they see us? Ah, try to make someone who
needs to identify with that life whether or not they've
(10:38):
seen or like can you know what I mean, like
have your uncle in the Midwest watch it? Yeah? No exactly.
And I think that's sort of the my just as
an experience of dealing with police and things like that,
and just in general, the state of things in this country.
It's difficult, Like it's just sort of painful to have
to like relive something like that or just sort of
(10:59):
how of that sort of level of it justice sort
of just brought straight to your face because I know
a lot of people too, especially people for colors, who
are like, I mean, I'm gonna get to it because
there's a little it's tough, but at the same time,
it's I think because of how powerful it is, how
moving it is, is the it's it's a sword that
cuts both ways, and it's very performance is underrated. If
(11:22):
everybody hasn't seen it, then it's underrated. So yeah, well
so what's overrated? Overrated? We touched on this a little
bit pre show. Overrated for me? Is it? Uh? This
um this like back padding mentality, this this cool mentality
to hate art like anything that's interpretive, like you know,
(11:45):
like it kind of became like a bandwagon thing of
like hating the end of Game of Thrones and I
just have never I'm this is way overrated, this thing
that it's it's fun to hate on something like I
remember ten twelve years ago Facebook probably wasn't even that long,
maybe like maybe eight nine years ago, but there was
(12:06):
like a two D person petition that was like going
all around Facebook for like getting Nickelback to not sing
the halftime show at the Lions game, and I was like,
what do you care. You're not going to the game,
and even if you were going to the game, go
get some nachos. This idea that's like yeah, isn't it.
We're all kind of like feeding it. It might be
(12:27):
cool to hate something, l R. It might, it might
be right to hate something, but in my opinion, it's
never cool. I just feel like it indicates a lack
of personality to like just be really like get meaning
out of like hating something arbitrary, Like I don't know,
it's just like taking action against it. Like there's many
I've read all the books that are currently out. Maybe
(12:48):
we'll only ever be out of Game of Thrones twice.
So I have major issues with the show, but they
I'd like to think they did their best. And I
also kind of view it as like really high budgeted,
pretty good fan fiction because I'm going to someday get
to read the books and then I'll see what really happened.
But they don't owe me anything. Try to make a
(13:09):
good show, you know, if that's what you if you're
gonna put it in front of me and tell me
to watch it. Then I hope you've tried to make
a sense of entitlement for people who are on the
receiving end of the art right. And it's like, you know,
I'm the same way. I was disappointed by it, but
I didn't like I didn't take up a like a
whole campaign against I'm like whatever that's and just like
art right, if you don't like it, then I'll just
take it as Okay, that's what you made. I like,
(13:32):
I appreciate what people are critical and stuff. But then
at the end of the day when people are like
picking on it for no reason and they're also like
feel personally a title like you pay ten dollars a
month for like an app like you're not ship, Like
you can't pay anyone at this show for fifteen minutes.
What are you talking? And some people And I love
the day of that guys. I love being here and
(13:52):
I've I've loved every interaction I've ever had your fans.
So I want to make sure. But you're gonna stands
we're all saying. I think we're saying saying there's nothing
wrong with being disappointed or not like it, not like
it's okay. I'm not telling you that you had to
have liked to add all. I'm just saying this, this
kind of it's overrated, this thing of like give your
energy to something else, like you have like coolness, like
or hatred e quitting coolness. Sure, I don't like that. Yeah,
(14:15):
it's I think it's in general energetically like if you're
putting that much of your effort into feeling negative about
something else, And also it will just begin permeating through
the parts of your life, you know what I mean,
Like if you have I think precisely for me, I'm
the kind of person who could get carried away, like
I'll talk to you for I don't have I didn't
(14:36):
like the show, Yeah, and I will too. But at
the end of the day, I'm like, and I leave
that there. I don't then take that with me to like, No,
you know what, I gotta get on Twitter and I
gotta yell at dB Voice and all of them alone.
And if also, you know what, let that inspire you,
if your creator make do then improve upon that for sure.
And I'm sorry to say that the gatekeepers of this
(14:57):
dustry and it will be easy to get there, but
right when you consider that, you know, Miles, the gatekeepers
of this industry are actually super nice, very inclusive. They're like, welcome,
you have an idea, great, you have no experience? Great? Yeah,
it's objectively a good idea. Great. That's how a lot
of movies got made in the side, right, No, seriously,
and then look at that. We had a renaissance, but
(15:18):
not anymore. What's a myth? What's something that people get
wrong that you're like, no, no, no, you know what's funny.
I don't know if I ever brought this up before
when I've been here for this myth part, But basically
everything they tell you on an airplane is a lie.
Like everyone's flying that it's going up. Let me tell
you the ground. You know, when you get on the airplane,
(15:44):
it's just a magnetic sir, just messing up your brain. No,
just your seatbelt, you don't. I was on a Southwest
flight and they tried to say, the guy goes, oh, eleven,
see your seatbelt is off. You need to put that
back like we had land didn't we were taxing and
then you and then you heard like people like putting
their seatbelts back. I'm like, there's no sensor guy, Right,
(16:06):
he just like that could just grabbed a seat number,
because you don't there's only two people, including the person
he's talking to, who are going to know if that
seatbelts even on or off. Like your cell phone has
to be turned off or an airplane. None of that's true.
Do you think that if you're if your phone could
bring down a plane on any level? Right, any percentage?
(16:26):
But they would let you, the general public travel with.
They wouldn't even let you check your phone because they
wouldn't trust that you didn't turn it off unless it's
like one of the Galaxys seven or whatever. That one, right,
and that one they were like, no, no, no, no, no.
That's when you saw not because it had wilde signal. Right,
(16:47):
that's when you saw that they were not lying. Almost
almost all of it is a lie. Well, I think
that one is something like some odd worst case scenario
that like every cell phone was on that there's a
chance that it could disrupt it, which is why they
said not because like one phone is going to bring
the fucking things. What they don't want when taking on
the landing is they don't want you talking on the phone.
(17:08):
They don't want you disturbing other people around you. They
want you like either paying attention or just not bothering anybody.
Then none of the stuff is for like, and if
you're trying to just change the cabin culture, just set
those rules. Don't lie to the people, like because culture
my favorite. I mean, we have to fix cabin culture.
Cabin culture is I mean, I'm taking up a crusading
(17:31):
as cabin culture. Cabin culture. I do I want all
the smoke. I'm sorry. The last time I was sitting
in the back row of a Spirit Airlines flight and
I was just like, damn, it really is, like that's
the closest like distillation you can get to the class system.
You're just literally walking down the hallway of the class
system and then you're like, oh, I'm sitting next to
(17:51):
a fart because because of this, I'm in steerage. Yeah.
I kind of like having to shut my phone off
just because I feel like that's like almost something that
is invented to make you feel safer than you actually are.
Like you have a little bit of control here, you
can help us be safe. See that's a good Some
of these A lot of these lies help the general public. Sure,
(18:13):
maybe funny if they hit turbulus and cabins like, um,
one of motherfucker's has your phone on, so knock it
off down right, Yeah right. You'll also find like on planes,
like the uh, turbulence tends to happen more on short flights.
It's because they want to come out and do one
quick drink order and then get right back down. Like
if you're in a six hour flight, they'll wait an
(18:36):
hour hour and a half before they come around and
see what you wanted to drink. You're on a flight
to Vegas. If they're in a good mood, they'll get
that drink order fifteen minutes. Right, It's all. It's all
a lot. Sometimes they're like, yeah, we can't do drinks
right now, I know, And I'm like, for real, yeah whatever,
I don't care if everybody on this plane's fucked up anyway,
So it's probably a better idea. We're not true, that's true?
(18:57):
Oh man? Yeah wow. Cabin culture. The reason I to
talk about it because like in Japan, right, like it's
just a rule that you don't talk on your phone,
and when you do, like there are signs that are
just like get the fun, like do not talk on
your phone? Beef have some fucking respect. But I guess,
but that is a but that's a cultural thing. But
it's not like a lie to like you're talking about
(19:18):
your phone, the spooky ghosts, my derail, the fucking car,
like just and I think maybe they can just be
like hi, as a like, as a matter of policy,
we ask that people refrain from speaking on them. Then
jerks will break that rule of course, like the lie
to people, because the American attitude to be like, what
are you talking talking about? I'm important? Yeah, yeah, totally.
(19:41):
I mean, look at what I remember Alc Baldin was
like funk out of here and getting off my phone
because he's a dick. Yeah, but but that's what I'm saying,
Like you're always Then you have the people who have
to be like they don't already if you tell them
shi it is one way then because they're contraryan or transgressors,
rule breakers, bro that they got to be like, nah,
show me, show me on the fucking the schematic, how
(20:02):
this fox is the plane. They're the same people signing
the Game of Thrones like protests and they're just like
I need to control the world, right, let it go.
The WiFi isn't working. How do I tweet from here?
Or like? Also, like people who do mad stories on
their flights. Relax, relax please like Instagram stories yeah, like
(20:22):
like in flight yeah, like I get it. You know
you're on a plane around them too that I mean
like that viral ship. Remember when the people were shading
the couple, They're like, I just switched seats. They're in
love with each other. Now giving you a play by plane.
They're holding hand. See. I was recently on a flight
and I took a picture of a woman standing up
in the window seat facing the window, facing the window.
(20:45):
It's just like this right, and it looked like a nightmare,
Like I look like like the end of Witch Project.
I normally do not like to post pictures of people
that are not voluntarily a part of this. I get that.
But she was such a mean person, and like I
saw her interaction with the airline staff before we got
on the fly, and she was so mean and to
(21:09):
the point when the person came back after they had
helped her be where she needed to be, I told
that person, I go, you're very nice, because she did not.
She was yes, And so when I then later on
saw that woman scaring me. I thought, well, you know what,
you're putting a lot of negativity in the world, so
I'm gonna create some positivity with this joke. I'm gonna
(21:30):
shame you. So I didn't shame. I just said, it's
weird when you look up and realize you're in a nightmare.
She just looks the light and like facing the wall
of the plane, which probably is in a wall, right,
is it the capsule? Yeah, but again the whole our
part in tackling toxic cabin culture. There go, there we go.
All right, well let's get into the stories. Let's talk
about it. Just a great man, Robert Donny j uh,
(21:55):
what what's happening? Because you remember you came in Jamie
and you're like the Robert Downey Junior thing. Like all
I saw was on the side of Twitter when it
was trending, like it said, Robert Downey Jr. Is doing
some Tony Stark shit. Listen, it's been a crazy week.
At the beginning of the week, we were told the
world's gonna end in Then on Wednesday, Robert Downey Jr.
(22:16):
Came out And said, actually, guys, it's going to be
fine in like ten years. Did he I'm actually the
apocalypse for actually the water Wars, it's not going to
happen because Robert Downey Jr. Has a bunch of tiny
robots and that's about all the details that we have.
It sounds like, genuinely, I think this story is is
very interesting and funny because so he went out, Robert
(22:39):
Downey Junr. Went out, He's like giving a keynote at
Amazon's re Mars conference. Of course at the conference, why not, uh,
And he talks about how he's like launching this new
organization that is committed to using advanced technologies for the
good of the environment. It's called the Footprint Coalition. Because
I think he has a lot of guilty. He talks
about having a lot of guilt of like what a
(23:00):
gigantic carbon footprint the m C you had on the
world basically, and there's a there was a destruction those
characters caused in the world, I mean, because it was
a documentary and so but they're like genuine there's been
a lot written about like how gigantic like productions like that,
how much of damage. Yeah, so he's just trying to
(23:20):
like reverse party. I mean, it's it's it's a noble mission.
It's the only thing that's weird is he is acting
like Tony Stark. He makes the speechies quote between robotics
and nanotechnology, we could clean up the planet significantly, if
not totally, in ten years. Uh yeah, Like he's he's like,
I'm going to fix the world in ten years. My
name is Tony Stark. Where's Gwyneth Paltrow at like, let's
(23:42):
get it fixed? Uh? This, I mean there's That's really
all there is to say right now. If you watch
the talk, he is doing Tony Stark cosplay. He's got
unlimited money to attempt this. But if you go to
like there it was like a website that popped up
for the Footnote Coalition, it's all, yeah that footnotes footprint
(24:02):
coalition footprint looks like getting infiltrated your brain there, I
got hacked. But yeah, Like he's saying that he's going
to fix the world with tiny robots in ten years
or less? Did you say what the bill is going
to look like? He does not specify price, he does
not specify who's going to help him, He does not
specify how it's going to happen. So you know, problem
(24:23):
chist man and be like, hey, Hey, bazils you you're
down to throw in on this. Literally, I'm just like, honestly,
Robert Downey Jr. The best, like, the most you could
do for the world is probably just like pay the
amount of taxes you're supposed to. Like that. Anytime a
billionaire is like I'm going to save the world, I'm like,
just be your tax I'll use a fractness money to
tackle this very specific issue that would help the entire world.
(24:46):
That isn't as like, I mean, it's commendable that he
wants to do that, but like, why don't you You
could put a lot of money into like a school
district or like something else and like have real real
world effects. But again, you know you want to play god.
It's kind nothing. Yeah, like of course he wants to
be God. I don't know every it's commendable when I
saw when I saw Endgame, I saw it with my
(25:08):
brother and as like Tony Star, I mean, it's not
spoiler anymore like as Tony Stark was, I don't I
don't know anything about Avengers. You what it's a spoiler? Okay,
spoiler alert. If you haven't seen Avengers, skip ahead. The
most popular go ahead you can do it now. I
don't care, so I just want to save people. As
Tony Stark is like, I'm dying. You know. My brother
(25:30):
leaned over to me. He's like, you didn't think I
pays taxes? And I was like no, And I'm like
we should boo him his death batman too? Did he
pay his taxes? Also, the Footprint Coalition sounds like a
rebrand for the foot Clan from so I'm like, what's
really going on? Let's start the footnotes Coalition footnotes, Coalition footnotes. Okay,
(25:52):
on that, We'll take a quick break. We'll be right back. Now,
We're back. Man. I don't know about job, but I'm
just sick of these trade Wars. Oh gosh. First off,
(26:13):
before we talk about the Mexican edition of Trade Wars Disease,
because it's so sleep because it's so tired of how
dumb this whole ship is. Uh, just remember this is
a distraction, a smoke bomb, meant to take our attention
away from the fact that the Mother Report straight up
lays out the president's crimes and he needs people to
not look over there because he doesn't want people to,
(26:36):
you know, get these impeachment ideas going So just remember
that that's why this is happening, because all the other
ship they say about this, this trade war is just
a bunch of bullshit because it's addressing a situation that
the president created. So if you don't remember, Trump basically said,
if Mexico, if you don't get all your immigrant ships
sorted out, We're just gonna start taxing all the goods
(26:57):
that come over here. That's it. Just get do something
about the problem that I'm creating. It's not because you
are not actually allowing to process people who are seeing asylum.
You are now passing the buck to Mexico. Uh. And look,
there's a lot there's We've talked about how constantly these
tariffs do not help the United States. It just makes
things more expensive for consumers. There's nothing. It's like he's
(27:19):
been like he's got Mexico at gunpoint, like give me
three billion right now tariffs. No, but I bet he's
commissioning that fan aren't on deviant What do you think
he's riding like a fucking probably what it was like
a hoverboard? Yeah, like a golden he's mounted. He's mounted
(27:40):
on a horse. The horse is riding a hoverboard. Oh ship,
he has a gun. The horse has a gun. The
horse is a gun. The horse the horse has guns
for legs exactly. And they're just they're shooting a sombrero
and it's his freedom underneath big block letters. Okay, we
designed it. Um. Well, here's a fact, a little bit,
just a little analysis about even the United States Chamber
(28:01):
of Commerce is kind of kind of warring people like, hey,
this is not good for business already because we do
so much trade with Mexico. It says that a five
percent tax on Mexican imports would cost the US consumers
seventeen point three billion dollars across the country and add
three hundred seventy six million dollars to the cost of
goods just in Florida. Trump also Florida, well, I know
(28:25):
is just for Florida, seventeen for the entire country, but
more specifically, if you're in Florida six that's the bill
for y'all. Um. And then again his plan is that
like tariffs are gonna go up five percent each month
until they reach in October, and at that point it
would cost Florida one point eight billion dollars. Why do
I keep talking about Florida? Well, most of the GOP
(28:47):
donors clearly see the writing on the wall. The point
is intended um that you know this is not good
for your business if you're like actually doing any kind
of international business, especially with Mexico, like with a lot
of these consumer goods, this is going to be a
fucking nightmare for you because you know you're gonna have
to pass these costs down, and consumers are probably like
(29:09):
I might wait on buying a certain thing. Although avocados
we're fucked. I'm sorry say that. In Chipotle even said
I think they're going to have to start adding like
a few dollars to each my item if the trade
war with Mexico accelerates. Three D printing avocado, yeah, right,
(29:31):
can you? We could try and with a three D printer,
let us know, can you three D print avocado? You
could eat? I watched someone try to three D print
a violin last week and it looked like ship did it?
I mean, I can't imagine a world where three D
printed violin it looks good. Unless again, and I say
this all the time, it's that one Jake Beausey played
in Starship Troopers. There, okay, because that one's like freaky
(29:53):
and futuristic. Now you're back now, Daniel was honestly for
a little bit that I did that Starship Troopers effort. Um.
So the reason I talked about Florida is because, yeah,
a lot of Senate Republicans behind closed doors are like,
we're gonna fucking fight this, like we'll fight the president
on this because this is actually doesn't even make sense.
Like and it also, again, a lot of moneyed interests
(30:14):
are going to really feel this, and they'll use you know,
they'll act like they care about farmers or consumers, but
it's not that it's the people who actually farms. Yeah. Um.
And but however, Marco Rubio and Rick Scott are the
only people or the few that are like, hey, you
know what, are kind of like, I'm kind of down
(30:35):
with these tariffs, and I don't. It's it's again, they don't.
They're breaking with a lot of the most of the senators,
even on the Republican side, who are like John Cornyn
from Texas, a lot of and even I think Ted
cruise like this is not good like for anybody, especially Texas,
Like a lot of ship comes over the border from there.
We're not we don't even understand how this solves the
issue you're even trying to get at, aside from just
(30:57):
sticking it to Mexico. And again, this is just to
get his base fired up and then create a controversy,
that distraction that will eventually cost his base a lot
of money. Don Dreper, remember Don Draper. If you don't
like what's being said, change the conversation. Boom, Yeah, makes
you think Lane Price? Wow, spoiler alert. Really but if
(31:18):
someone was like Jamie, I didn't know that Lamee Price died.
I don't even know what that means. But fine, was
that madman who knows? Yeh, who knows? Ago. I've tried
watching the first son. I couldn't get into it. Yeah yeah,
Burne was too slow and I was not on enough
pills back then to like sit through all of it.
Um so yeah again, So even for the the cost
(31:41):
it will, even uh the increased costs it will bring
to consumers in their own state, they're still sticking by.
I guess they figure like they must have some research
that says like the more you deviate from Trump, the
less likely you are for re election. That I'm clearing
that must be their math. I don't know, but it's
a kind of ship. That again, just something to think
about as we continue to shoot ourselves. Yeah, Robert Danny Jr.
(32:06):
Has got this. I hope Robert Danny Jr. Comes through
with a solution to this too. To Trump or to
the trade trade wars, fuck it, you know whatever his
robots do that. Can your robots solve the trade war?
Your robots also diplomats? Can we figure this out? Yeah,
maybe we'll see uh. And then moving on to because
(32:28):
of the you know, the border, the manufactured crisis at
the border, the Trump administration is really they're constantly outdoing
themselves with treating these people with as little humanity as possible.
So the administration recently made an announcement that basically says
that they are pulling funding uh for the English classes,
(32:52):
recreational programs, and legal aid for the unaccompanied migrant kids
that are in these federally contracted shelters or we'll just
call the camps. Uh. They're not fucking summer camps. Um,
They're basically their argument for this is that, well, there's
been so many there's been such an influx of people
at the border seeking asylum, it's spreading, like our resources
too thin, So we even have to take these basic
(33:14):
things away from these kids who are we are already
separating from their families now, just the laws that exist. Right,
there was a decision that was made that basically guaranteed
these children who were seeking asylum that they had the
right to have facilities that are safe in sanitary and
they must provide routine medical and dental care, as well
(33:36):
as education in a structured classroom setting. UH that includes
English language training, reading materials in the detained children's native languages,
and the centers should also offer kids counseling and quote
a reasonable right to privacy to talk on the phone
and store their belongings. Also the very least you can do,
yeah for a human because these are not These are
(33:59):
not fucking murderers, their children who are escaping their own
their own country looking for a better situation. They've come
with their parents, and they're they're being treated like criminals
rather than like, hey, we get oh my god. You know,
I think any human would look at somebody who was like,
I'm trying to escape this violence and instability in my country.
I am this is the place I'm going. Also, we
(34:21):
can ignore the fact that a lot of your policy
foreign policy in this country basically created my situation. But
that's a whole other podcast called bare your Head in
the Sand and Ignore History UM with Miles great oh
Man work look at old photos and just it's all
revisionist history about past relationship. But the you know, I
(34:42):
think any humane person would say, of course, like, let's
what's the minimum we can do. Try and make this
as quick up a process as possible without causing trauma.
There already been constant reports of deaths that have been preventable,
and lack of care for people who have like mental illness,
and like lack of support for those people too. On
(35:03):
top of the fact that you're already putting people in
the most stressful fucking environment. These people are fleeing for
their lives looking for something better, and you're like, hey,
I'm gonna put you in like a fucking concrete and
like you know, chain link health. Yeah, the words, lack
of character. Yeah, the whole thing is just lack of care,
lack of care and lack of just empathy, lack of
(35:26):
just everything. Yeah, they really don't care and and and
people want to act like they really give a fun
either don't know, don't show, but just don't give an
and the and the like show boating of like, well
it's because we don't have enough money. It's just I mean,
it's ridiculous. It's like it costs a lot of money
to literally create the problem. Also, that whole thing, that
(35:46):
argument is so lame. Again, not even that right to
take away their legal representation. That is another thing. This
has been this is part of our laws in this
in these United States, right quote, all persons within the
territory of the United States are entitled to the protection
guaranteed by those amendments in the Constitution that even aliens
(36:08):
shall not be held to answer or answer for a
capital or other infamous crime, unless on a presentment or
indictment of a grand jury, nor be deprived of life, liberty,
or property without due process of law. So we're even
we're just we're throwing everything out the fucking window to
be as cruel as as possible to these people too,
(36:31):
I guess, just score points with the base. Now. The
other thing that they're saying, the reason they say, oh
we can do this is they have like a loophole
like in budgeting ship where they're like, well, you know,
if if budgets a department can't spend more money than
it has or is budgeted. Um. And you know, things
like the government shutdown put a lot of departments under
stress because it just wasn't getting funded and they were
(36:53):
burning through budget and like, oh well look now, what
are we gonna do now? Uh, this has been like
so they're saying, well, we don't want to violate this statute.
It's been It's happened many times in American history, and
never once in the history of this country has someone
pointed to that statue to be like, h this is
why we have to end a certain program. There's been
a way, especially for something like this. You it's it's
(37:13):
very easy to be like, of course we need to
fund that. That's it's the bare minimum we can give
human beings. But this is just the brand is all
about based on cruelty. Yep. So yeah, I mean, I
think honestly, it's like one of those things where every
time I hear all these other stories about people getting
up in arms about other bullshit, and you're just looking
(37:35):
at the very basics. Right. You have kids who are
like left in vans for like over thirty hours, but
while they're trying to be reunited with their families because
we haven't even figured out oh worthwhile or functioning process
to even reunite families. Um, it's just it's so hard
to take any kind of outrage from the right seriously
(37:57):
when they can't even this is like, this is just
in your face, objectively fucked up. They're just like, yeah,
putting in policies that are designed to traumatize young kids
that have done nothing. It's just it's absurdain Like Robert j. Yeah, well,
this is why it kind of makes me laugh about
(38:19):
that Zack Fox tweet where you know, again the joke.
I understand why people are piste off about it. Right, So,
there was a tweet about this kid who had like
a fucking lemonade stand because he wanted to raise money
to build the wall. It was like yeah, and then
and then he did a tweet like he photo shopped
in image of this kid's photo or this kid's lemonade stand,
(38:40):
like like through a windshield of a car that was
like speeding as if he was going to like run
the run the kid. It was a meme. It was like, yeah,
it's just ship post and what happens all the time.
I understand, Like that's you're definitely open yourself up to
criticism for that. I mean because if when I see
ship like that on the red I'm like, this is
this is not it? But I get I can understand
sort of the initial thing of like, oh that could
(39:02):
be wrong. However to then it became this huge thing
like bright bart all these conservative medias like these sick
fifty thousand sickos like this sick tweets. Do you know
what that photo exists because his dad fucking took it,
because his dad set up the whole thing to create
a little Facebook post, little Facebook video about my son
raising money for the wall, which also I would have
(39:23):
loved to have asked that dad. You voted for Trump
because you thought he had all the good ideas right,
you loved everything was gonna said to do maybe one
of those things. But I'm going to build a wall
in Mexico's gonna pay for it. And now here you
are propagating your son selling lemonade to pay for something
that you voted for a guy who told you he
was going to get another country to pay for it.
I'm not saying you have to give a funk, but
do you see the line there but yeah, that that
(39:45):
wasn't delivered on right, So yeah, I agreed, not a
great I'm not in favor of like running over a
kid joke. But but the reason that that reason that
image even exists is because somebody on that side of
the fence was like, spot my kid it up here. Yeah, look,
he's a patriot, young patriot. But the thing is, for
all this ship, right, they they you know, for all
(40:07):
the people who are screaming about this, they could give
a fuck when real, real human beings, they're mad about
an idea rather than an actual incident. Right with all,
you didn't see Charlottesville when somebody actually ran over people,
did you care? You didn't care? Right, where was your
outrage because it's selective because you don't want to other
(40:27):
real reason if you wanted. In my opinion, the kid
in that picture looks like your nephew, right because you're white.
But she was white too. I know that's that's a
great point. But she was on the wrong side of
exactly right because everything the tribalism is. She was marching,
she was honest, She was marching with black people rights
(40:48):
the wrong so she you know what she she put herself.
It's like that whole thing with the uh Kyle Korver
wrote about and I forget his name, and I apologize
the NBA player that he was on a team with
the guy arrested, And Kyle even said, the problem with
me is my herst thought was like, well, why was
he even in a club when he got arrested, right,
And he's like, that's not the fucking problem here, right.
So in this scenario, people like, well, why was she marching?
(41:09):
And that if she hadn't been in that march, she
wouldn't have been hit. Why are we okay with somebody
murdering people with you know exactly? And I think that's
what's so funny about this sort of yeah, lack of
self awareness, this cognitive dissonance that has to constantly be
deployed to try and like maintain your sanity or like
morality through this kind of ship. Because even then, when
(41:31):
black and brown kids are getting killed, don't care when
these kids are being separated from their families and caused
all this traumas being inflicted on them, But you want
to you want to go up in arms because you
know a person of color on Twitter did something. Oh
there we go. We have the ingredients to set off
the culture war response. And there it is. And that's
(41:51):
why I just like the whole the whole landscape. Oh
it's it's it's something else. M m yeah, these I
mean story is like this to me, or just like noise, Yeah,
just noise. It's yeah. How just you can at least
have people just look at me and tell me you
(42:11):
just don't care about these kids. Just tell me that,
Just tell me you don't care about these kids. And
then I don't even need to fight with you. There's
no I don't what am I gonna And then I'd
be like, Okay, you're just a sick motherfucker. Who doesn't
we have to do this? Just look me down and
say you don't care about these kids? Well I do, right,
but you really don't. Well know I do. No, you don't,
(42:33):
um show me how you care. That's the thing. It's
just like you don't care. Just say you don't care. Well,
you know why I care? It's you know who doesn't care.
It's the parents who are bringing these kids with them
up here. And their house was on fire. You leave
your kids in it because their country is on fire,
their towns on fire, their society is on fire, but
they weren't supposed to bring their kids with them. Well,
(42:55):
how bad is the fire exactly? You know what I mean?
And that's the kind of ship is it? In the addition,
because I didn't like the addition to the house anyway,
Well did they permit the electrical work? How many amps
are they putting through that box? Oh? Come on, I
mean they're asking for it, you know, and don't even
it's uh but yeah, it's true. I mean that's where
(43:16):
we're getting where it's like everything is so xenophobic, racist, homophobic,
every form of phobia you can have against people who
are different than you, but no one it's like you're
doing actually the most aggressive form. You might as well
just embrace the fact that you just embrace these labels
for people who support this ship. If you can look
at this situation at the board and be like, yeah,
(43:37):
I can, I'm fine, I'm good with this, I'm okay,
my tax dollars are are are funding this, then you
should be You should be real enough to make the
connection that you, in fact just do not care about
life if it's not something that looks exactly like your
section of the country or your tribe or whatever. Can
we open up our hearts? Please? I think that we
(43:58):
just convinced them. I think we convinced them. Please. Is
you know, uh, tell your uncle to listen to this,
but then he'll be like, well, kids, because that's I
turned off at the Auto No song. I didn't like
that song. And I've never liked Elanus. I was always
a Dave Coolier fan, and you know we know that
(44:18):
songs about them. I'm team I'm team Dave, team Dave. Sorry, sorry,
elanis all right, Let's say a quick break. We'll be
right back, and we're back. Let's keep checking in some
(44:42):
some interesting takes on the right. Everybody, remember everybody was
on Twitter here, we know what goes down. There was
that straight Pride Parade tweet to the world. Right and
it's in Boston, right, it's in Boston. Yes, very carefully, fans,
sorry to choose your words, very careful. Oh, I know
we've forgot. We forgot. We have the Mayor of Boston
(45:03):
amongst us, and Mayor Walls just cosplays Jamie left us
about parade was going on. A lot of people had
jokes and then then they also saw the bullshit come
out of again trying to justify, rationalize why a pro
straight Pride parade was something that was needed or necessary
(45:24):
or not offensive at all. Um. And you know, I
just we haven't heard from in a while from Tommy Laren,
so I just wanted to check in with her to
hear what she was saying, UM, because I feel like,
you know, she always has some really really interesting bullshit thoughts,
So let's hear this one. He can be proud of
about everything these days, so long that's not straight, white
(45:46):
male or god forbid conservative. But as it turns out
the city of Boston may not be so tolerant accepting
of a straight Pride parade either. It's time for first thoughts. Yes, folks,
it's Gay Pride Month. And let me be clear, I
have no issue with lgb TE people being proud of
who they are. I could do without seeing men in
speedos and butlers chefs parading through the streets. But whatever
you do, you Sadly, at least in Boston, straight people
(46:09):
aren't allowed to parade their heterosexuality for all to see.
The rumored straight Pride parade maybe over before it started.
The group calls themselves Super Happy Fun America, and their
mission is simple. Straight people will embrace our diverse history,
culture identity in order to promote engagement with the community. Now,
you wouldn't think that would be a problem, right wrong.
(46:30):
Don't forget it is open season on straight white men
in this country, and y'all aren't allowed to celebrate your straightness.
It's twenty nineteen, don't you know. That's been off limits
for at least the last ten years. But nevertheless, the
Super Happy Fun America Straight Pride Group was planning their
parade for August thirty. You just cut this. I'm actually
I think my eyes rolled back in into my head.
(46:51):
That was getting wonderful. Um, where do we start? Where
do we go from here? Where do I start? Where
do you begin? I don't know. I mean again, it's
just like I know, I know why we're here, why
the show exists, But I just like, why, why do
(47:12):
I feel like? You know, statements like this are designed
to a appeal to a base and be to get
people on the other side to talk about it, and
it's like I don't want to. I mean, we know
we hate her, we know she's going to have a
dogshit take on absolutely everything, and it just feels like
such like a release of you know, it feels good
and and like cathartic to be like, yeah, she's like
(47:34):
she's wrong, she sucks, but it's like she still wins
when we interact with her in that way. And well, okay,
I don't I don't given about her. I just I
don't know that. I just like I think the one
thing I just want to point out right is just
the way people are even looking at it, because I think,
(47:54):
if anything, it's important if you talk to people who
think like this that you can help them understood. And
it's probably not gonna understand, but this idea, she basically
gives up the ghost by saying the whole idea, or
her whole argument, presupposes that being part of the l
g B t Q community makes you diametrically opposed to heterosexuality,
(48:15):
because she sees it as well, I'm heterosexual means I
am that is my enemy, or that is who I'm opposed.
That's my opposition, and that's why I have to have
a pride parade to show them because because you merely exist,
you're saying I'm bad because I'm this way or I'm
who I am. Uh, And it's just again, there's no
space it's such a zero sum game. It's about Hillary.
(48:39):
This can't be If this is true, then that has
to be false. Like no, both things can be true, right, Well,
everything is so yeah, it's it's such a binary there's
no it's like the same thing even getting upset about
Game of Thrones, ship or it's like you've actually devoted
all your energy to be angry about this difference in something.
This is being accepting that that's the way the world.
(49:00):
It is right, and we can all to me. It's
really simple. Somebody says, why is there a gay pie Pride?
I would say, because not too recently in this history,
it wasn't okay to walk down the street and say
I'm proudly Yes. The parade is emphasizing that we can
be out here and tell you I'm gay and be
as loud as I want to about that, whether in
(49:22):
my dress, my appearance, my words, my music, whatever it is,
and say I'm gay. There's never been a problem with
somebody walking down the streets saying I'm straight. So you
didn't need yeah, you didn't need to declare it. A
lack of understanding of like punch like punching up versus
punching down. That's just like you're like, Oh, I'm the
(49:43):
dominant culture, but I'm asking the the oppressed culture to
be tolerant of my oppression. Yeah, the use of like
straight culture and straight history. I'm like, you're talking about
history because that's the only history that's been acknowledged. So
the same thing was like why in their white entertainment television,
it's like it's called every Why is that stape pripe rate?
(50:04):
It's called culture? So off, Okay, let's move on because
that now, because I don't even give her any more air.
And if you, oh, if we see Tommy lay enough
she lives in l A. I can't. Of course she does.
She's a dumb bend. Oh yeah, wow, holy shit. I
(50:25):
don't want to give her any more my my thoughts,
don't I agree? Okay? Now, uh the new X Men movie, Daniel,
it sounds like you and I we just we realized
we both really like the X Men. Frandswise, you guys
are big fans. I love comics, and I love the
I love the comics love. I remember being a little
kid wondering if when I turned thirteen or fourteen, I
was going to have a power. I had a very
(50:48):
active imagination. Yeah, what did you how do you? How
did you used to do that? Like I just wondered
if I was just gonna like start to Yeah, man,
I remember being like nine ten years old watching the
cartoon and being like on her because they don't because
that's the whole thing. It's all. It's puberty for that,
Like that's when you start to get your powers and
stuff like that. And so yeah, I just love that ship.
(51:10):
I'm sure I'm okay without being that good people who
love Godzilla. If you love Godzilla, you liked that movie. Yeah,
If you do not go into it being like I
just love watching monsters destroy things, then that movie is garbage. Yeah,
but here's if you did you see Godzilla. The whole
thing is summed up by this people willingly getting too
(51:31):
close to monsters. That's all that is. But yeah, and
if you it's so the same for me, Like, I'm
going to see it tonight. I've invited you to come
with me if you would like, Uh, there's gonna be
I'm still gonna watch people with superpowers do superpower things.
So I'm walking in and put it on rotten tomato scale.
I'm walking in at like a thirty I'm something I know,
(51:55):
but I'm saying for me, it's gonna be there, So
I might leave with it being that, Like, that wasn't
more fun than I hoped it would be. But I'm
still gonna see some X Men stuff, even more than
talking about Dark Phoenix. I'm more curious again, what kind
of superpower? Did you think you're gonna have? No idea, dude,
it was more just who knows what's it gonna be? Yeah? Yeah, yeah,
(52:16):
I hit puberty. All I wanted was arn'tpit hair, and
that ship was not coming. Really, man, I play basketball.
Everyone's shooting free throws. I'm like, I'm wearing a T shirt. Man,
everybody else aren't here. I mean, telekinesis is the only
thing you need? Yeah, and armpit hair nature superpower? Did
you ever want a superpower? There? Yeah? I want I
(52:36):
wanted invisibility because I was very shy. That's great too.
Yeah yeah, man, that was that was too sad, but
it's true. But wouldn't you be afraid? Like that's the
part where it's like then you have to like hear
people being like, thank god fucking our old armpit hair left,
and I'm like my also don't have arm't hair like
(52:57):
as I as, I used my mind to move my
tears away from my face. So good. Well anyway, yes,
the Dark Phoenix movie, it is getting fucking destroyed critics.
I mean the interesting thing because I'm not I'm not
attached to the X Men franchise is just like not
something I really grew up with. But it is interesting that,
like it's projected that the movie will be a financial
(53:20):
failure remains to be seen. It has a lot of money,
there's a lot of reshoots. But I mean, aside from
the franchise itself, the implication of this movie failing could
be pretty big because it's a part. It was a big,
you know, controversial part of the Fox Disney merger and
this being like a big Fox production. It could be
(53:42):
a difference of like where the direction that movies are
going to go with Disney in the future. And if
an X Men movie just super tanks, like that might
be the end of that kind of movie, right, Because
Disney has the taste of dollars on their lips whene're like,
oh mcu I, let's see you at the bank. That
is how they always think about it. So thank you
(54:04):
so much. Um. Yeah, so I think for this they're
really I think it's a jarring feeling for Disney as
a company. But like you say, it's a threat to
that the Fox studio that's making movies like this or
like ad Astra, that Brad Pitt weird Space. I did.
I did not understand what was going on, but fun, Yeah,
if you want to do a shootout on the moon,
(54:24):
it seems like weird, and it's like I would be
sad and disappointed, but it seems like this might be
the direction of things where you'll get less like weird
like anomaly movies like that, because you'll only get the
movies that are for sure going to make a billion
dollars and or a Disney fied ship that they know.
It's like, okay, we can tell a story like that,
but it's going to be very easy to follow, not
(54:45):
really subversive or make people question things, just like can
I tell this in PG or PG? Yeah? But yeah,
that ad Astra thing flapping guns and those mars are over.
I have no idea what's happening. Also, every time is
liv Tyler always just gonna play space? Widows seen her
in so long where she's back back you know, somebody
(55:05):
wants to go to space. She's there. She's there, crying
at you, looking at a little screen from a spaceship.
She's got it. Probably is a great life. Hell. I
mean her family got all that Armageddon money, she got
Lord of the Rings money. Yeah, I hope, I hope
she's happy every day. Oh I love I'm not, don't
get me wrong, tired video crazy. I remember my mom
(55:30):
Silverstone huh because in uh in Armageddon there is an
Aerosmith love song that plays over Live Tyler in romance scene.
Isn't that her dad singing over her kissing? And my
mom was just like he loves her so much? Like, Okay,
I wish my dad would sing over me hooking up.
(55:53):
That's he's in the room, just singing butterfly kissing. That's
how I'm saying. Yo. When you go to the way
and the father daughter dance, the butterfly kisses, which is
always like every wedding, And I'm like, the first time
I heard that, I was like, what the fund is
a song about? If I get married, I'm gonna dance
with my mom. Clarence Carter's stroking Oh my goodness, so yeah,
(56:17):
Dark Phoenix I'm I'm gonna watch it because I've seen
every X Men film too, and it's never gonna be
better than you. And then when you see it in
the theater. No, the best version of this movie, just
like all the Pacific Rams, all this stuff, the best
version of Godzilla, which I hated, is seeing it in
the theater. So go see it. It's not gonna be
better on your laptop and an airplane later. Yeah, or
(56:38):
exactly like streaming off reddits. I'm janking, No, already started
on that. Whoa, I just hate people bootlegging movies. Wow,
it's not another meant to be consumed. Oh not because
think of the millionaires. Because it's just to the art form. Okay, yeah,
I think you're like, think of the studios man costs industry. There.
(56:59):
I'm honestly, I'm probably not going to see it. I'm
probably gonna see Rocket Man again. Oh love that. My
mom loved Rocket Man. It's it's big, it's big and dumb,
and I loved it. It's big, dumb and sexy and
it's fun, right, it's fun. Yeah. I think honestly, going
into a biopic knowing that the subject of the movie
is totally fine, really changed my viewing of it. I
(57:21):
was like, Oh, anything could happen Elton John this movie
like he's good, he's fine, he's got babies, he's thriving,
right right, right, Yeah exactly. You don't have to encounter
any much darkness. It's a feel good movie, big, dumb
and full of fun. I love it well, Daniel, thank
you so much for coming through. Oh thank you for

I guess who has not been here in a while,
and I've been wondering where he's been, and I'm glad
he's back. He is a hilarious comedian, he is a
great podcast host. He's a philosopher. He is somebody who,
(02:43):
when it's convenient for me, I will call a friend.
He's welcome, Mr Daniel van Kirk. What's up, buddy? How
are you? Man? Hello? Hi everyone? Hi? Hi? Have you been?
I'm good? Thanks for having me. Have you just been
on the road this whole time? I feel like, yeah
and a lot. I'm just add in cities and legs
to uh too much together tour. So you just keep
(03:05):
him busy adding legs like a spider and doing some
festivals and stuff like that. So what what festivals you
doing this year? I did sketch Fest in January and
then in April to Moon Tower, and in a couple
of weeks I'll be doing Clusterfest. Where's Clusterfest? That is
the Comedy Central festival in San Francisco. Oh dope, yeah, man,
(03:27):
I guess my invit got lost? No they sate, Okay,
thank you. I'm waiting. I'll check. I didn't submit. And
I'm not really the median by trade, but you're actually
way to get down. It's a new level of patronization.
Uh well, Daniel, Before people get to know you and
I get to know even better, let's tell people what
(03:48):
we're talking about. First. Robert Downey is he going to
save the world. Maybe he's Tony Stark. He thinks he's
Tony Stark. Could try. I think he's done too many movies.
It's cute, yeah, as yeah, and can you cosplay when
you are the person though that you are on screen.
It's a terrible cycle, you know, how do you get out?
(04:09):
We'll check in on the Trade Wars Mexico edition. I mean,
we know about the China ones, how those are not
going well at all and how that's impacting the economy.
But you know, just also we'll talk about this new
distraction the president is trying to create because the Mulla
Report says that he needs to be impeached. UM. Also
talk about the new cruelty alert because Trump has now
(04:30):
taken away the legal representation recreation uh and education. Uh
sort of not rights, I guess, but yeah, rights or
ability to to have recreational time or education and things
like that from these migrant kids, using a very very
lame loophole. Uh. And then we'll check in, you know,
just was you know, been a hot week for the
(04:51):
right with its straight pride parades or other things going on?
Twitter parade. Uh, well, I'll let Tommy Laron speak on
that later. UM, And then a new x meent movie,
which I'm excited about, and we'll leave that there. But first, Daniel,
what is something from your shirt history that's revealing about
(05:12):
who you are? I will I grab this down here too.
This was like yesterday Black Raven Russian song lyrics? Was that?
Are you guys watching Chernobyl? I'm about to, man, I
know I'm behind so many good things about it there.
Every time someone talks about it, they have some kind
(05:33):
of visceral and and we'll get into it, I imagine
because I will find a way too. But and that's
how I feel about it, and it's number two on
my list right now. But uh so there's a prices
in that, right yes, crushing to prequel to Madman. He
uh you know what that there's a double spoiler in there,
(05:56):
if you know what I'm talking about. So uh Um,
I didn't even think that till now. I'm gonna have
my own podcast for a second, or I think about
the reference I just made and how maybe there's people
out there who are also tracking where I'm tracking. Um,
it's very good. In an episode of it, a soldier
I'm not giving anything away. A soldier in Russia sings
(06:16):
a song. The title is translated from Russia to black
Raven and it's so perfectly done and like haunting. I
wanted to know what the lyrics were of this song.
It's very, very, very good. Are the lyrics haunting? Yeah? Yeah,
it's about it. I can remember some of them. It's
(06:38):
um something like a man married another woman, and his
woman the woman was his sword. Basically, he's like given
his life to the military. I love when my woman.
That's uh uh. First time I saw that done was
full metal jacket. Remember this is my Yeah, and they
(06:58):
like you love it and you treat it. But it's
a it's a very haunting, like Russian as fuck song,
just dark, dreary, Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean the
fucking I just remember the trailer had me fucked up
when it was just the warning thing and I was
like asking people who listen, I like, if you speak Russian,
what's that warning thing over? And they're like, it's warning
(07:19):
And you know, there's a company podcast with Chernobyl HBO
produced a podcast. It's unreal. I've been listening to the
podcast and I haven't watched the show. Ye are you
for real? Yeah? That's interesting, but I like is it
about the show. Yeah, I just want to know everything
about production before I even late. That's not a bad idea.
You'll still really dig it. But it excited. It's uh,
(07:41):
it's intent. Some of the best, some of the best
writing I've seen in a very or listen to in
a very long time. Okay, so what's underrated? Then? Wait,
wasn't that my search history? What's underrated is uh? Forgive
me if I'm saying this wrong. It is not for
lack of love. Underrated right now? Is Jaharald Jerones performance
as Corey Wise? And when they see us? Have you
(08:03):
guys watched when they see us? I have not? I know. Look,
let me tell you something, you guys for when they
see us, it's it's kind of difficult for me to
like to tide through it. I had to stop the
first episode. I had to go away from it. Yeah,
I mean the trailer. I was like, man like, okay,
I mean like, because I'm I'm aware of the story,
but part of me is like, I'm a little fragile
(08:25):
right now to dive into a thing that will bring
to the forefront of my mind just how unjust the
legal system is. In the words of Ryan Sickler, great comic. Yeah, yeah, no, seriously,
and I think and I think it's one of those.
But for precisely that reason, I think it's important for
people to watch it, especially, you know, anybody who might
(08:46):
not be aware of if or if you think you
don't understand how violently oppressive systemic racism is in this country.
Let's take a look at something like that and the
New York Cops in the eighties. Did you see the
documentary the seven five? Come on? Come on? So this
is in that era, and it is I'm gonna make
(09:08):
sure sitting don't and I might even be pronouncing right,
but Jaharald Jerome's performance. You might know him from Moonlight,
little film Moonlight, which is also phenomenal. Uh. I don't
think it will always, in my opinion, be underrated because
there it isn't possible to accurately rate it or overrate it.
It is. It might be one of the best acting
(09:29):
performances I've seen in my entire life. I'm still like haunted.
You know what, you what You've seen the wire. You know,
after a while on the wire, You're like, well, these
are those people, like these are those people? He embodies
his character so beautifully and with so much strength and
every every element of humanity that I think he's gonna
(09:53):
have an amazing career. Uh in front of him he
already obviously has a great one. But um, you're like,
well you you or that and you just were Corey
Wise right right right? Uh damn the duverne Um. It's
a masterpiece. I mean, people, you have to watch and
it was at number one for you when you say
right now two yeah, yeah for right now. Yeah. I
(10:16):
came two things that I've that are like in my
queue that I'm actually I think this weekend I'm gonna
have to and I kind of want to make I
saw a great tweet that maybe she retweeted that somebody
was like, instead of asking black people have you seen
when they see us? Ah, try to make someone who
needs to identify with that life whether or not they've
(10:38):
seen or like can you know what I mean, like
have your uncle in the Midwest watch it? Yeah? No exactly.
And I think that's sort of the my just as
an experience of dealing with police and things like that,
and just in general, the state of things in this country.
It's difficult, Like it's just sort of painful to have
to like relive something like that or just sort of
(10:59):
how of that sort of level of it justice sort
of just brought straight to your face because I know
a lot of people too, especially people for colors, who
are like, I mean, I'm gonna get to it because
there's a little it's tough, but at the same time,
it's I think because of how powerful it is, how
moving it is, is the it's it's a sword that
cuts both ways, and it's very performance is underrated. If
(11:22):
everybody hasn't seen it, then it's underrated. So yeah, well
so what's overrated? Overrated? We touched on this a little
bit pre show. Overrated for me? Is it? Uh? This
um this like back padding mentality, this this cool mentality
to hate art like anything that's interpretive, like you know,
(11:45):
like it kind of became like a bandwagon thing of
like hating the end of Game of Thrones and I
just have never I'm this is way overrated, this thing
that it's it's fun to hate on something like I
remember ten twelve years ago Facebook probably wasn't even that long,
maybe like maybe eight nine years ago, but there was
(12:06):
like a two D person petition that was like going
all around Facebook for like getting Nickelback to not sing
the halftime show at the Lions game, and I was like,
what do you care. You're not going to the game,
and even if you were going to the game, go
get some nachos. This idea that's like yeah, isn't it.
We're all kind of like feeding it. It might be
(12:27):
cool to hate something, l R. It might, it might
be right to hate something, but in my opinion, it's
never cool. I just feel like it indicates a lack
of personality to like just be really like get meaning
out of like hating something arbitrary, Like I don't know,
it's just like taking action against it. Like there's many
I've read all the books that are currently out. Maybe
(12:48):
we'll only ever be out of Game of Thrones twice.
So I have major issues with the show, but they
I'd like to think they did their best. And I
also kind of view it as like really high budgeted,
pretty good fan fiction because I'm going to someday get
to read the books and then I'll see what really happened.
But they don't owe me anything. Try to make a
(13:09):
good show, you know, if that's what you if you're
gonna put it in front of me and tell me
to watch it. Then I hope you've tried to make
a sense of entitlement for people who are on the
receiving end of the art right. And it's like, you know,
I'm the same way. I was disappointed by it, but
I didn't like I didn't take up a like a
whole campaign against I'm like whatever that's and just like
art right, if you don't like it, then I'll just
take it as Okay, that's what you made. I like,
(13:32):
I appreciate what people are critical and stuff. But then
at the end of the day when people are like
picking on it for no reason and they're also like
feel personally a title like you pay ten dollars a
month for like an app like you're not ship, Like
you can't pay anyone at this show for fifteen minutes.
What are you talking? And some people And I love
the day of that guys. I love being here and
(13:52):
I've I've loved every interaction I've ever had your fans.
So I want to make sure. But you're gonna stands
we're all saying. I think we're saying saying there's nothing
wrong with being disappointed or not like it, not like
it's okay. I'm not telling you that you had to
have liked to add all. I'm just saying this, this
kind of it's overrated, this thing of like give your
energy to something else, like you have like coolness, like
or hatred e quitting coolness. Sure, I don't like that. Yeah,
(14:15):
it's I think it's in general energetically like if you're
putting that much of your effort into feeling negative about
something else, And also it will just begin permeating through
the parts of your life, you know what I mean,
Like if you have I think precisely for me, I'm
the kind of person who could get carried away, like
I'll talk to you for I don't have I didn't
(14:36):
like the show, Yeah, and I will too. But at
the end of the day, I'm like, and I leave
that there. I don't then take that with me to like, No,
you know what, I gotta get on Twitter and I
gotta yell at dB Voice and all of them alone.
And if also, you know what, let that inspire you,
if your creator make do then improve upon that for sure.
And I'm sorry to say that the gatekeepers of this
(14:57):
dustry and it will be easy to get there, but
right when you consider that, you know, Miles, the gatekeepers
of this industry are actually super nice, very inclusive. They're like, welcome,
you have an idea, great, you have no experience? Great? Yeah,
it's objectively a good idea. Great. That's how a lot
of movies got made in the side, right, No, seriously,
and then look at that. We had a renaissance, but
(15:18):
not anymore. What's a myth? What's something that people get
wrong that you're like, no, no, no, you know what's funny.
I don't know if I ever brought this up before
when I've been here for this myth part, But basically
everything they tell you on an airplane is a lie.
Like everyone's flying that it's going up. Let me tell
you the ground. You know, when you get on the airplane,
(15:44):
it's just a magnetic sir, just messing up your brain. No,
just your seatbelt, you don't. I was on a Southwest
flight and they tried to say, the guy goes, oh, eleven,
see your seatbelt is off. You need to put that
back like we had land didn't we were taxing and
then you and then you heard like people like putting
their seatbelts back. I'm like, there's no sensor guy, Right,
(16:06):
he just like that could just grabbed a seat number,
because you don't there's only two people, including the person
he's talking to, who are going to know if that
seatbelts even on or off. Like your cell phone has
to be turned off or an airplane. None of that's true.
Do you think that if you're if your phone could
bring down a plane on any level? Right, any percentage?
(16:26):
But they would let you, the general public travel with.
They wouldn't even let you check your phone because they
wouldn't trust that you didn't turn it off unless it's
like one of the Galaxys seven or whatever. That one, right,
and that one they were like, no, no, no, no, no.
That's when you saw not because it had wilde signal. Right,
(16:47):
that's when you saw that they were not lying. Almost
almost all of it is a lie. Well, I think
that one is something like some odd worst case scenario
that like every cell phone was on that there's a
chance that it could disrupt it, which is why they
said not because like one phone is going to bring
the fucking things. What they don't want when taking on
the landing is they don't want you talking on the phone.
(17:08):
They don't want you disturbing other people around you. They
want you like either paying attention or just not bothering anybody.
Then none of the stuff is for like, and if
you're trying to just change the cabin culture, just set
those rules. Don't lie to the people, like because culture
my favorite. I mean, we have to fix cabin culture.
Cabin culture is I mean, I'm taking up a crusading
(17:31):
as cabin culture. Cabin culture. I do I want all
the smoke. I'm sorry. The last time I was sitting
in the back row of a Spirit Airlines flight and
I was just like, damn, it really is, like that's
the closest like distillation you can get to the class system.
You're just literally walking down the hallway of the class
system and then you're like, oh, I'm sitting next to
(17:51):
a fart because because of this, I'm in steerage. Yeah.
I kind of like having to shut my phone off
just because I feel like that's like almost something that
is invented to make you feel safer than you actually are.
Like you have a little bit of control here, you
can help us be safe. See that's a good Some
of these A lot of these lies help the general public. Sure,
(18:13):
maybe funny if they hit turbulus and cabins like, um,
one of motherfucker's has your phone on, so knock it
off down right, Yeah right. You'll also find like on planes,
like the uh, turbulence tends to happen more on short flights.
It's because they want to come out and do one
quick drink order and then get right back down. Like
if you're in a six hour flight, they'll wait an
(18:36):
hour hour and a half before they come around and
see what you wanted to drink. You're on a flight
to Vegas. If they're in a good mood, they'll get
that drink order fifteen minutes. Right, It's all. It's all
a lot. Sometimes they're like, yeah, we can't do drinks
right now, I know, And I'm like, for real, yeah whatever,
I don't care if everybody on this plane's fucked up anyway,
So it's probably a better idea. We're not true, that's true?
(18:57):
Oh man? Yeah wow. Cabin culture. The reason I to
talk about it because like in Japan, right, like it's
just a rule that you don't talk on your phone,
and when you do, like there are signs that are
just like get the fun, like do not talk on
your phone? Beef have some fucking respect. But I guess,
but that is a but that's a cultural thing. But
it's not like a lie to like you're talking about
(19:18):
your phone, the spooky ghosts, my derail, the fucking car,
like just and I think maybe they can just be
like hi, as a like, as a matter of policy,
we ask that people refrain from speaking on them. Then
jerks will break that rule of course, like the lie
to people, because the American attitude to be like, what
are you talking talking about? I'm important? Yeah, yeah, totally.
(19:41):
I mean, look at what I remember Alc Baldin was
like funk out of here and getting off my phone
because he's a dick. Yeah, but but that's what I'm saying,
Like you're always Then you have the people who have
to be like they don't already if you tell them
shi it is one way then because they're contraryan or transgressors,
rule breakers, bro that they got to be like, nah,
show me, show me on the fucking the schematic, how
(20:02):
this fox is the plane. They're the same people signing
the Game of Thrones like protests and they're just like
I need to control the world, right, let it go.
The WiFi isn't working. How do I tweet from here?
Or like? Also, like people who do mad stories on
their flights. Relax, relax please like Instagram stories yeah, like
(20:22):
like in flight yeah, like I get it. You know
you're on a plane around them too that I mean
like that viral ship. Remember when the people were shading
the couple, They're like, I just switched seats. They're in
love with each other. Now giving you a play by plane.
They're holding hand. See. I was recently on a flight
and I took a picture of a woman standing up
in the window seat facing the window, facing the window.
(20:45):
It's just like this right, and it looked like a nightmare,
Like I look like like the end of Witch Project.
I normally do not like to post pictures of people
that are not voluntarily a part of this. I get that.
But she was such a mean person, and like I
saw her interaction with the airline staff before we got
on the fly, and she was so mean and to
(21:09):
the point when the person came back after they had
helped her be where she needed to be, I told
that person, I go, you're very nice, because she did not.
She was yes, And so when I then later on
saw that woman scaring me. I thought, well, you know what,
you're putting a lot of negativity in the world, so
I'm gonna create some positivity with this joke. I'm gonna
(21:30):
shame you. So I didn't shame. I just said, it's
weird when you look up and realize you're in a nightmare.
She just looks the light and like facing the wall
of the plane, which probably is in a wall, right,
is it the capsule? Yeah, but again the whole our
part in tackling toxic cabin culture. There go, there we go.
All right, well let's get into the stories. Let's talk
about it. Just a great man, Robert Donny j uh,
(21:55):
what what's happening? Because you remember you came in Jamie
and you're like the Robert Downey Junior thing. Like all
I saw was on the side of Twitter when it
was trending, like it said, Robert Downey Jr. Is doing
some Tony Stark shit. Listen, it's been a crazy week.
At the beginning of the week, we were told the
world's gonna end in Then on Wednesday, Robert Downey Jr.
(22:16):
Came out And said, actually, guys, it's going to be
fine in like ten years. Did he I'm actually the
apocalypse for actually the water Wars, it's not going to
happen because Robert Downey Jr. Has a bunch of tiny
robots and that's about all the details that we have.
It sounds like, genuinely, I think this story is is
very interesting and funny because so he went out, Robert
(22:39):
Downey Junr. Went out, He's like giving a keynote at
Amazon's re Mars conference. Of course at the conference, why not, uh,
And he talks about how he's like launching this new
organization that is committed to using advanced technologies for the
good of the environment. It's called the Footprint Coalition. Because
I think he has a lot of guilty. He talks
about having a lot of guilt of like what a
(23:00):
gigantic carbon footprint the m C you had on the
world basically, and there's a there was a destruction those
characters caused in the world, I mean, because it was
a documentary and so but they're like genuine there's been
a lot written about like how gigantic like productions like that,
how much of damage. Yeah, so he's just trying to
(23:20):
like reverse party. I mean, it's it's it's a noble mission.
It's the only thing that's weird is he is acting
like Tony Stark. He makes the speechies quote between robotics
and nanotechnology, we could clean up the planet significantly, if
not totally, in ten years. Uh yeah, Like he's he's like,
I'm going to fix the world in ten years. My
name is Tony Stark. Where's Gwyneth Paltrow at like, let's
(23:42):
get it fixed? Uh? This, I mean there's That's really
all there is to say right now. If you watch
the talk, he is doing Tony Stark cosplay. He's got
unlimited money to attempt this. But if you go to
like there it was like a website that popped up
for the Footnote Coalition, it's all, yeah that footnotes footprint
(24:02):
coalition footprint looks like getting infiltrated your brain there, I
got hacked. But yeah, Like he's saying that he's going
to fix the world with tiny robots in ten years
or less? Did you say what the bill is going
to look like? He does not specify price, he does
not specify who's going to help him, He does not
specify how it's going to happen. So you know, problem
(24:23):
chist man and be like, hey, Hey, bazils you you're
down to throw in on this. Literally, I'm just like, honestly,
Robert Downey Jr. The best, like, the most you could
do for the world is probably just like pay the
amount of taxes you're supposed to. Like that. Anytime a
billionaire is like I'm going to save the world, I'm like,
just be your tax I'll use a fractness money to
tackle this very specific issue that would help the entire world.
(24:46):
That isn't as like, I mean, it's commendable that he
wants to do that, but like, why don't you You
could put a lot of money into like a school
district or like something else and like have real real
world effects. But again, you know you want to play god.
It's kind nothing. Yeah, like of course he wants to
be God. I don't know every it's commendable when I
saw when I saw Endgame, I saw it with my
(25:08):
brother and as like Tony Star, I mean, it's not
spoiler anymore like as Tony Stark was, I don't I
don't know anything about Avengers. You what it's a spoiler? Okay,
spoiler alert. If you haven't seen Avengers, skip ahead. The
most popular go ahead you can do it now. I
don't care, so I just want to save people. As
Tony Stark is like, I'm dying. You know. My brother
(25:30):
leaned over to me. He's like, you didn't think I
pays taxes? And I was like no, And I'm like
we should boo him his death batman too? Did he
pay his taxes? Also, the Footprint Coalition sounds like a
rebrand for the foot Clan from so I'm like, what's
really going on? Let's start the footnotes Coalition footnotes, Coalition footnotes. Okay,
(25:52):
on that, We'll take a quick break. We'll be right back. Now,
We're back. Man. I don't know about job, but I'm
just sick of these trade Wars. Oh gosh. First off,
(26:13):
before we talk about the Mexican edition of Trade Wars Disease,
because it's so sleep because it's so tired of how
dumb this whole ship is. Uh, just remember this is
a distraction, a smoke bomb, meant to take our attention
away from the fact that the Mother Report straight up
lays out the president's crimes and he needs people to
not look over there because he doesn't want people to,
(26:36):
you know, get these impeachment ideas going So just remember
that that's why this is happening, because all the other
ship they say about this, this trade war is just
a bunch of bullshit because it's addressing a situation that
the president created. So if you don't remember, Trump basically said,
if Mexico, if you don't get all your immigrant ships
sorted out, We're just gonna start taxing all the goods
(26:57):
that come over here. That's it. Just get do something
about the problem that I'm creating. It's not because you
are not actually allowing to process people who are seeing asylum.
You are now passing the buck to Mexico. Uh. And look,
there's a lot there's We've talked about how constantly these
tariffs do not help the United States. It just makes
things more expensive for consumers. There's nothing. It's like he's
(27:19):
been like he's got Mexico at gunpoint, like give me
three billion right now tariffs. No, but I bet he's
commissioning that fan aren't on deviant What do you think
he's riding like a fucking probably what it was like
a hoverboard? Yeah, like a golden he's mounted. He's mounted
(27:40):
on a horse. The horse is riding a hoverboard. Oh ship,
he has a gun. The horse has a gun. The
horse is a gun. The horse the horse has guns
for legs exactly. And they're just they're shooting a sombrero
and it's his freedom underneath big block letters. Okay, we
designed it. Um. Well, here's a fact, a little bit,
just a little analysis about even the United States Chamber
(28:01):
of Commerce is kind of kind of warring people like, hey,
this is not good for business already because we do
so much trade with Mexico. It says that a five
percent tax on Mexican imports would cost the US consumers
seventeen point three billion dollars across the country and add
three hundred seventy six million dollars to the cost of
goods just in Florida. Trump also Florida, well, I know
(28:25):
is just for Florida, seventeen for the entire country, but
more specifically, if you're in Florida six that's the bill
for y'all. Um. And then again his plan is that
like tariffs are gonna go up five percent each month
until they reach in October, and at that point it
would cost Florida one point eight billion dollars. Why do
I keep talking about Florida? Well, most of the GOP
(28:47):
donors clearly see the writing on the wall. The point
is intended um that you know this is not good
for your business if you're like actually doing any kind
of international business, especially with Mexico, like with a lot
of these consumer goods, this is going to be a
fucking nightmare for you because you know you're gonna have
to pass these costs down, and consumers are probably like
(29:09):
I might wait on buying a certain thing. Although avocados
we're fucked. I'm sorry say that. In Chipotle even said
I think they're going to have to start adding like
a few dollars to each my item if the trade
war with Mexico accelerates. Three D printing avocado, yeah, right,
(29:31):
can you? We could try and with a three D printer,
let us know, can you three D print avocado? You
could eat? I watched someone try to three D print
a violin last week and it looked like ship did it?
I mean, I can't imagine a world where three D
printed violin it looks good. Unless again, and I say
this all the time, it's that one Jake Beausey played
in Starship Troopers. There, okay, because that one's like freaky
(29:53):
and futuristic. Now you're back now, Daniel was honestly for
a little bit that I did that Starship Troopers effort. Um.
So the reason I talked about Florida is because, yeah,
a lot of Senate Republicans behind closed doors are like,
we're gonna fucking fight this, like we'll fight the president
on this because this is actually doesn't even make sense.
Like and it also, again, a lot of moneyed interests
(30:14):
are going to really feel this, and they'll use you know,
they'll act like they care about farmers or consumers, but
it's not that it's the people who actually farms. Yeah. Um.
And but however, Marco Rubio and Rick Scott are the
only people or the few that are like, hey, you
know what, are kind of like, I'm kind of down
(30:35):
with these tariffs, and I don't. It's it's again, they don't.
They're breaking with a lot of the most of the senators,
even on the Republican side, who are like John Cornyn
from Texas, a lot of and even I think Ted
cruise like this is not good like for anybody, especially Texas,
Like a lot of ship comes over the border from there.
We're not we don't even understand how this solves the
issue you're even trying to get at, aside from just
(30:57):
sticking it to Mexico. And again, this is just to
get his base fired up and then create a controversy,
that distraction that will eventually cost his base a lot
of money. Don Dreper, remember Don Draper. If you don't
like what's being said, change the conversation. Boom, Yeah, makes
you think Lane Price? Wow, spoiler alert. Really but if
(31:18):
someone was like Jamie, I didn't know that Lamee Price died.
I don't even know what that means. But fine, was
that madman who knows? Yeh, who knows? Ago. I've tried
watching the first son. I couldn't get into it. Yeah yeah,
Burne was too slow and I was not on enough
pills back then to like sit through all of it.
Um so yeah again, So even for the the cost
(31:41):
it will, even uh the increased costs it will bring
to consumers in their own state, they're still sticking by.
I guess they figure like they must have some research
that says like the more you deviate from Trump, the
less likely you are for re election. That I'm clearing
that must be their math. I don't know, but it's
a kind of ship. That again, just something to think
about as we continue to shoot ourselves. Yeah, Robert Danny Jr.
(32:06):
Has got this. I hope Robert Danny Jr. Comes through
with a solution to this too. To Trump or to
the trade trade wars, fuck it, you know whatever his
robots do that. Can your robots solve the trade war?
Your robots also diplomats? Can we figure this out? Yeah,
maybe we'll see uh. And then moving on to because
(32:28):
of the you know, the border, the manufactured crisis at
the border, the Trump administration is really they're constantly outdoing
themselves with treating these people with as little humanity as possible.
So the administration recently made an announcement that basically says
that they are pulling funding uh for the English classes,
(32:52):
recreational programs, and legal aid for the unaccompanied migrant kids
that are in these federally contracted shelters or we'll just
call the camps. Uh. They're not fucking summer camps. Um,
They're basically their argument for this is that, well, there's
been so many there's been such an influx of people
at the border seeking asylum, it's spreading, like our resources
too thin, So we even have to take these basic
(33:14):
things away from these kids who are we are already
separating from their families now, just the laws that exist. Right,
there was a decision that was made that basically guaranteed
these children who were seeking asylum that they had the
right to have facilities that are safe in sanitary and
they must provide routine medical and dental care, as well
(33:36):
as education in a structured classroom setting. UH that includes
English language training, reading materials in the detained children's native languages,
and the centers should also offer kids counseling and quote
a reasonable right to privacy to talk on the phone
and store their belongings. Also the very least you can do,
yeah for a human because these are not These are
(33:59):
not fucking murderers, their children who are escaping their own
their own country looking for a better situation. They've come
with their parents, and they're they're being treated like criminals
rather than like, hey, we get oh my god. You know,
I think any human would look at somebody who was like,
I'm trying to escape this violence and instability in my country.
I am this is the place I'm going. Also, we
(34:21):
can ignore the fact that a lot of your policy
foreign policy in this country basically created my situation. But
that's a whole other podcast called bare your Head in
the Sand and Ignore History UM with Miles great oh
Man work look at old photos and just it's all
revisionist history about past relationship. But the you know, I
(34:42):
think any humane person would say, of course, like, let's
what's the minimum we can do. Try and make this
as quick up a process as possible without causing trauma.
There already been constant reports of deaths that have been preventable,
and lack of care for people who have like mental illness,
and like lack of support for those people too. On
(35:03):
top of the fact that you're already putting people in
the most stressful fucking environment. These people are fleeing for
their lives looking for something better, and you're like, hey,
I'm gonna put you in like a fucking concrete and
like you know, chain link health. Yeah, the words, lack
of character. Yeah, the whole thing is just lack of care,
lack of care and lack of just empathy, lack of
(35:26):
just everything. Yeah, they really don't care and and and
people want to act like they really give a fun
either don't know, don't show, but just don't give an
and the and the like show boating of like, well
it's because we don't have enough money. It's just I mean,
it's ridiculous. It's like it costs a lot of money
to literally create the problem. Also, that whole thing, that
(35:46):
argument is so lame. Again, not even that right to
take away their legal representation. That is another thing. This
has been this is part of our laws in this
in these United States, right quote, all persons within the
territory of the United States are entitled to the protection
guaranteed by those amendments in the Constitution that even aliens
(36:08):
shall not be held to answer or answer for a
capital or other infamous crime, unless on a presentment or
indictment of a grand jury, nor be deprived of life, liberty,
or property without due process of law. So we're even
we're just we're throwing everything out the fucking window to
be as cruel as as possible to these people too,
(36:31):
I guess, just score points with the base. Now. The
other thing that they're saying, the reason they say, oh
we can do this is they have like a loophole
like in budgeting ship where they're like, well, you know,
if if budgets a department can't spend more money than
it has or is budgeted. Um. And you know, things
like the government shutdown put a lot of departments under
stress because it just wasn't getting funded and they were
(36:53):
burning through budget and like, oh well look now, what
are we gonna do now? Uh, this has been like
so they're saying, well, we don't want to violate this statute.
It's been It's happened many times in American history, and
never once in the history of this country has someone
pointed to that statue to be like, h this is
why we have to end a certain program. There's been
a way, especially for something like this. You it's it's
(37:13):
very easy to be like, of course we need to
fund that. That's it's the bare minimum we can give
human beings. But this is just the brand is all
about based on cruelty. Yep. So yeah, I mean, I
think honestly, it's like one of those things where every
time I hear all these other stories about people getting
up in arms about other bullshit, and you're just looking
(37:35):
at the very basics. Right. You have kids who are
like left in vans for like over thirty hours, but
while they're trying to be reunited with their families because
we haven't even figured out oh worthwhile or functioning process
to even reunite families. Um, it's just it's so hard
to take any kind of outrage from the right seriously
(37:57):
when they can't even this is like, this is just
in your face, objectively fucked up. They're just like, yeah,
putting in policies that are designed to traumatize young kids
that have done nothing. It's just it's absurdain Like Robert j. Yeah, well,
this is why it kind of makes me laugh about
(38:19):
that Zack Fox tweet where you know, again the joke.
I understand why people are piste off about it. Right, So,
there was a tweet about this kid who had like
a fucking lemonade stand because he wanted to raise money
to build the wall. It was like yeah, and then
and then he did a tweet like he photo shopped
in image of this kid's photo or this kid's lemonade stand,
(38:40):
like like through a windshield of a car that was
like speeding as if he was going to like run
the run the kid. It was a meme. It was like, yeah,
it's just ship post and what happens all the time.
I understand, Like that's you're definitely open yourself up to
criticism for that. I mean because if when I see
ship like that on the red I'm like, this is
this is not it? But I get I can understand
sort of the initial thing of like, oh that could
(39:02):
be wrong. However to then it became this huge thing
like bright bart all these conservative medias like these sick
fifty thousand sickos like this sick tweets. Do you know
what that photo exists because his dad fucking took it,
because his dad set up the whole thing to create
a little Facebook post, little Facebook video about my son
raising money for the wall, which also I would have
(39:23):
loved to have asked that dad. You voted for Trump
because you thought he had all the good ideas right,
you loved everything was gonna said to do maybe one
of those things. But I'm going to build a wall
in Mexico's gonna pay for it. And now here you
are propagating your son selling lemonade to pay for something
that you voted for a guy who told you he
was going to get another country to pay for it.
I'm not saying you have to give a funk, but
do you see the line there but yeah, that that
(39:45):
wasn't delivered on right, So yeah, I agreed, not a
great I'm not in favor of like running over a
kid joke. But but the reason that that reason that
image even exists is because somebody on that side of
the fence was like, spot my kid it up here. Yeah, look,
he's a patriot, young patriot. But the thing is, for
all this ship, right, they they you know, for all
(40:07):
the people who are screaming about this, they could give
a fuck when real, real human beings, they're mad about
an idea rather than an actual incident. Right with all,
you didn't see Charlottesville when somebody actually ran over people,
did you care? You didn't care? Right, where was your
outrage because it's selective because you don't want to other
(40:27):
real reason if you wanted. In my opinion, the kid
in that picture looks like your nephew, right because you're white.
But she was white too. I know that's that's a
great point. But she was on the wrong side of
exactly right because everything the tribalism is. She was marching,
she was honest, She was marching with black people rights
(40:48):
the wrong so she you know what she she put herself.
It's like that whole thing with the uh Kyle Korver
wrote about and I forget his name, and I apologize
the NBA player that he was on a team with
the guy arrested, And Kyle even said, the problem with
me is my herst thought was like, well, why was
he even in a club when he got arrested, right,
And he's like, that's not the fucking problem here, right.
So in this scenario, people like, well, why was she marching?
(41:09):
And that if she hadn't been in that march, she
wouldn't have been hit. Why are we okay with somebody
murdering people with you know exactly? And I think that's
what's so funny about this sort of yeah, lack of
self awareness, this cognitive dissonance that has to constantly be
deployed to try and like maintain your sanity or like
morality through this kind of ship. Because even then, when
(41:31):
black and brown kids are getting killed, don't care when
these kids are being separated from their families and caused
all this traumas being inflicted on them, But you want
to you want to go up in arms because you
know a person of color on Twitter did something. Oh
there we go. We have the ingredients to set off
the culture war response. And there it is. And that's
(41:51):
why I just like the whole the whole landscape. Oh
it's it's it's something else. M m yeah, these I
mean story is like this to me, or just like noise, Yeah,
just noise. It's yeah. How just you can at least
have people just look at me and tell me you
(42:11):
just don't care about these kids. Just tell me that,
Just tell me you don't care about these kids. And
then I don't even need to fight with you. There's
no I don't what am I gonna And then I'd
be like, Okay, you're just a sick motherfucker. Who doesn't
we have to do this? Just look me down and
say you don't care about these kids? Well I do, right,
but you really don't. Well know I do. No, you don't,
(42:33):
um show me how you care. That's the thing. It's
just like you don't care. Just say you don't care. Well,
you know why I care? It's you know who doesn't care.
It's the parents who are bringing these kids with them
up here. And their house was on fire. You leave
your kids in it because their country is on fire,
their towns on fire, their society is on fire, but
they weren't supposed to bring their kids with them. Well,
(42:55):
how bad is the fire exactly? You know what I mean?
And that's the kind of ship is it? In the addition,
because I didn't like the addition to the house anyway,
Well did they permit the electrical work? How many amps
are they putting through that box? Oh? Come on, I
mean they're asking for it, you know, and don't even
it's uh but yeah, it's true. I mean that's where
(43:16):
we're getting where it's like everything is so xenophobic, racist, homophobic,
every form of phobia you can have against people who
are different than you, but no one it's like you're
doing actually the most aggressive form. You might as well
just embrace the fact that you just embrace these labels
for people who support this ship. If you can look
at this situation at the board and be like, yeah,
(43:37):
I can, I'm fine, I'm good with this, I'm okay,
my tax dollars are are are funding this, then you
should be You should be real enough to make the
connection that you, in fact just do not care about
life if it's not something that looks exactly like your
section of the country or your tribe or whatever. Can
we open up our hearts? Please? I think that we
(43:58):
just convinced them. I think we convinced them. Please. Is
you know, uh, tell your uncle to listen to this,
but then he'll be like, well, kids, because that's I
turned off at the Auto No song. I didn't like
that song. And I've never liked Elanus. I was always
a Dave Coolier fan, and you know we know that
(44:18):
songs about them. I'm team I'm team Dave, team Dave. Sorry, sorry,
elanis all right, Let's say a quick break. We'll be
right back, and we're back. Let's keep checking in some
(44:42):
some interesting takes on the right. Everybody, remember everybody was
on Twitter here, we know what goes down. There was
that straight Pride Parade tweet to the world. Right and
it's in Boston, right, it's in Boston. Yes, very carefully, fans,
sorry to choose your words, very careful. Oh, I know
we've forgot. We forgot. We have the Mayor of Boston
(45:03):
amongst us, and Mayor Walls just cosplays Jamie left us
about parade was going on. A lot of people had
jokes and then then they also saw the bullshit come
out of again trying to justify, rationalize why a pro
straight Pride parade was something that was needed or necessary
(45:24):
or not offensive at all. Um. And you know, I
just we haven't heard from in a while from Tommy Laren,
so I just wanted to check in with her to
hear what she was saying, UM, because I feel like,
you know, she always has some really really interesting bullshit thoughts,
So let's hear this one. He can be proud of
about everything these days, so long that's not straight, white
(45:46):
male or god forbid conservative. But as it turns out
the city of Boston may not be so tolerant accepting
of a straight Pride parade either. It's time for first thoughts. Yes, folks,
it's Gay Pride Month. And let me be clear, I
have no issue with lgb TE people being proud of
who they are. I could do without seeing men in
speedos and butlers chefs parading through the streets. But whatever
you do, you Sadly, at least in Boston, straight people
(46:09):
aren't allowed to parade their heterosexuality for all to see.
The rumored straight Pride parade maybe over before it started.
The group calls themselves Super Happy Fun America, and their
mission is simple. Straight people will embrace our diverse history,
culture identity in order to promote engagement with the community. Now,
you wouldn't think that would be a problem, right wrong.
(46:30):
Don't forget it is open season on straight white men
in this country, and y'all aren't allowed to celebrate your straightness.
It's twenty nineteen, don't you know. That's been off limits
for at least the last ten years. But nevertheless, the
Super Happy Fun America Straight Pride Group was planning their
parade for August thirty. You just cut this. I'm actually
I think my eyes rolled back in into my head.
(46:51):
That was getting wonderful. Um, where do we start? Where
do we go from here? Where do I start? Where
do you begin? I don't know. I mean again, it's
just like I know, I know why we're here, why
the show exists, But I just like, why, why do
(47:12):
I feel like? You know, statements like this are designed
to a appeal to a base and be to get
people on the other side to talk about it, and
it's like I don't want to. I mean, we know
we hate her, we know she's going to have a
dogshit take on absolutely everything, and it just feels like
such like a release of you know, it feels good
and and like cathartic to be like, yeah, she's like
(47:34):
she's wrong, she sucks, but it's like she still wins
when we interact with her in that way. And well, okay,
I don't I don't given about her. I just I
don't know that. I just like I think the one
thing I just want to point out right is just
the way people are even looking at it, because I think,
(47:54):
if anything, it's important if you talk to people who
think like this that you can help them understood. And
it's probably not gonna understand, but this idea, she basically
gives up the ghost by saying the whole idea, or
her whole argument, presupposes that being part of the l
g B t Q community makes you diametrically opposed to heterosexuality,
(48:15):
because she sees it as well, I'm heterosexual means I
am that is my enemy, or that is who I'm opposed.
That's my opposition, and that's why I have to have
a pride parade to show them because because you merely exist,
you're saying I'm bad because I'm this way or I'm
who I am. Uh, And it's just again, there's no
space it's such a zero sum game. It's about Hillary.
(48:39):
This can't be If this is true, then that has
to be false. Like no, both things can be true, right, Well,
everything is so yeah, it's it's such a binary there's
no it's like the same thing even getting upset about
Game of Thrones, ship or it's like you've actually devoted
all your energy to be angry about this difference in something.
This is being accepting that that's the way the world.
(49:00):
It is right, and we can all to me. It's
really simple. Somebody says, why is there a gay pie Pride?
I would say, because not too recently in this history,
it wasn't okay to walk down the street and say
I'm proudly Yes. The parade is emphasizing that we can
be out here and tell you I'm gay and be
as loud as I want to about that, whether in
(49:22):
my dress, my appearance, my words, my music, whatever it is,
and say I'm gay. There's never been a problem with
somebody walking down the streets saying I'm straight. So you
didn't need yeah, you didn't need to declare it. A
lack of understanding of like punch like punching up versus
punching down. That's just like you're like, Oh, I'm the
(49:43):
dominant culture, but I'm asking the the oppressed culture to
be tolerant of my oppression. Yeah, the use of like
straight culture and straight history. I'm like, you're talking about
history because that's the only history that's been acknowledged. So
the same thing was like why in their white entertainment television,
it's like it's called every Why is that stape pripe rate?
(50:04):
It's called culture? So off, Okay, let's move on because
that now, because I don't even give her any more air.
And if you, oh, if we see Tommy lay enough
she lives in l A. I can't. Of course she does.
She's a dumb bend. Oh yeah, wow, holy shit. I
(50:25):
don't want to give her any more my my thoughts,
don't I agree? Okay? Now, uh the new X Men movie, Daniel,
it sounds like you and I we just we realized
we both really like the X Men. Frandswise, you guys
are big fans. I love comics, and I love the
I love the comics love. I remember being a little
kid wondering if when I turned thirteen or fourteen, I
was going to have a power. I had a very
(50:48):
active imagination. Yeah, what did you how do you? How
did you used to do that? Like I just wondered
if I was just gonna like start to Yeah, man,
I remember being like nine ten years old watching the
cartoon and being like on her because they don't because
that's the whole thing. It's all. It's puberty for that,
Like that's when you start to get your powers and
stuff like that. And so yeah, I just love that ship.
(51:10):
I'm sure I'm okay without being that good people who
love Godzilla. If you love Godzilla, you liked that movie. Yeah,
If you do not go into it being like I
just love watching monsters destroy things, then that movie is garbage. Yeah,
but here's if you did you see Godzilla. The whole
thing is summed up by this people willingly getting too
(51:31):
close to monsters. That's all that is. But yeah, and
if you it's so the same for me, Like, I'm
going to see it tonight. I've invited you to come
with me if you would like, Uh, there's gonna be
I'm still gonna watch people with superpowers do superpower things.
So I'm walking in and put it on rotten tomato scale.
I'm walking in at like a thirty I'm something I know,
(51:55):
but I'm saying for me, it's gonna be there, So
I might leave with it being that, Like, that wasn't
more fun than I hoped it would be. But I'm
still gonna see some X Men stuff, even more than
talking about Dark Phoenix. I'm more curious again, what kind
of superpower? Did you think you're gonna have? No idea, dude,
it was more just who knows what's it gonna be? Yeah? Yeah, yeah,
(52:16):
I hit puberty. All I wanted was arn'tpit hair, and
that ship was not coming. Really, man, I play basketball.
Everyone's shooting free throws. I'm like, I'm wearing a T shirt. Man,
everybody else aren't here. I mean, telekinesis is the only
thing you need? Yeah, and armpit hair nature superpower? Did
you ever want a superpower? There? Yeah? I want I
(52:36):
wanted invisibility because I was very shy. That's great too.
Yeah yeah, man, that was that was too sad, but
it's true. But wouldn't you be afraid? Like that's the
part where it's like then you have to like hear
people being like, thank god fucking our old armpit hair left,
and I'm like my also don't have arm't hair like
(52:57):
as I as, I used my mind to move my
tears away from my face. So good. Well anyway, yes,
the Dark Phoenix movie, it is getting fucking destroyed critics.
I mean the interesting thing because I'm not I'm not
attached to the X Men franchise is just like not
something I really grew up with. But it is interesting that,
like it's projected that the movie will be a financial
(53:20):
failure remains to be seen. It has a lot of money,
there's a lot of reshoots. But I mean, aside from
the franchise itself, the implication of this movie failing could
be pretty big because it's a part. It was a big,
you know, controversial part of the Fox Disney merger and
this being like a big Fox production. It could be
(53:42):
a difference of like where the direction that movies are
going to go with Disney in the future. And if
an X Men movie just super tanks, like that might
be the end of that kind of movie, right, Because
Disney has the taste of dollars on their lips whene're like,
oh mcu I, let's see you at the bank. That
is how they always think about it. So thank you
(54:04):
so much. Um. Yeah, so I think for this they're
really I think it's a jarring feeling for Disney as
a company. But like you say, it's a threat to
that the Fox studio that's making movies like this or
like ad Astra, that Brad Pitt weird Space. I did.
I did not understand what was going on, but fun, Yeah,
if you want to do a shootout on the moon,
(54:24):
it seems like weird, and it's like I would be
sad and disappointed, but it seems like this might be
the direction of things where you'll get less like weird
like anomaly movies like that, because you'll only get the
movies that are for sure going to make a billion
dollars and or a Disney fied ship that they know.
It's like, okay, we can tell a story like that,
but it's going to be very easy to follow, not
(54:45):
really subversive or make people question things, just like can
I tell this in PG or PG? Yeah? But yeah,
that ad Astra thing flapping guns and those mars are over.
I have no idea what's happening. Also, every time is
liv Tyler always just gonna play space? Widows seen her
in so long where she's back back you know, somebody
(55:05):
wants to go to space. She's there. She's there, crying
at you, looking at a little screen from a spaceship.
She's got it. Probably is a great life. Hell. I
mean her family got all that Armageddon money, she got
Lord of the Rings money. Yeah, I hope, I hope
she's happy every day. Oh I love I'm not, don't
get me wrong, tired video crazy. I remember my mom
(55:30):
Silverstone huh because in uh in Armageddon there is an
Aerosmith love song that plays over Live Tyler in romance scene.
Isn't that her dad singing over her kissing? And my
mom was just like he loves her so much? Like, Okay,
I wish my dad would sing over me hooking up.
(55:53):
That's he's in the room, just singing butterfly kissing. That's
how I'm saying. Yo. When you go to the way
and the father daughter dance, the butterfly kisses, which is
always like every wedding, And I'm like, the first time
I heard that, I was like, what the fund is
a song about? If I get married, I'm gonna dance
with my mom. Clarence Carter's stroking Oh my goodness, so yeah,
(56:17):
Dark Phoenix I'm I'm gonna watch it because I've seen
every X Men film too, and it's never gonna be
better than you. And then when you see it in
the theater. No, the best version of this movie, just
like all the Pacific Rams, all this stuff, the best
version of Godzilla, which I hated, is seeing it in
the theater. So go see it. It's not gonna be
better on your laptop and an airplane later. Yeah, or
(56:38):
exactly like streaming off reddits. I'm janking, No, already started
on that. Whoa, I just hate people bootlegging movies. Wow,
it's not another meant to be consumed. Oh not because
think of the millionaires. Because it's just to the art form. Okay, yeah,
I think you're like, think of the studios man costs industry. There.
(56:59):
I'm honestly, I'm probably not going to see it. I'm
probably gonna see Rocket Man again. Oh love that. My
mom loved Rocket Man. It's it's big, it's big and dumb,
and I loved it. It's big, dumb and sexy and
it's fun, right, it's fun. Yeah. I think honestly, going
into a biopic knowing that the subject of the movie
is totally fine, really changed my viewing of it. I
(57:21):
was like, Oh, anything could happen Elton John this movie
like he's good, he's fine, he's got babies, he's thriving,
right right, right, Yeah exactly. You don't have to encounter
any much darkness. It's a feel good movie, big, dumb
and full of fun. I love it well, Daniel, thank
you so much for coming through. Oh thank you for
having me. I'm glad you're back. I'm I'm glad to
