Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to Season to sixty three,
Episode three of DIR Day Lynce. It's a production of
I Heart Radio, and it's a podcast where we take
a deep dive into America's shared consciousness. It's also Wednesday,
November six two, which of course means Miles November sixteen. Yeah,

(00:21):
National Past Food Day, National Button Day, nationally in the
end of day, National Check your Wiper's Day, National Education
Support Professionals Day. You know what I mean, check your
wipers though, for real, man, those rains we had recently,
it hadn't rained so long. I like the rubber had
been destroyed in the summer heat. Like it just been
cracked and flown off the wiper blade. So when I
ran it, like the rubber just went floppy and it

(00:44):
was just like smearing water all over my windshield down
it becomes like a dried out earthworm. Like after exactly
after a while. In Los Angeles, when I first as
an East Coast transplant, when I first came out here,
I was like, man, people out here do not how
to know how to respond to rain like this. They
drive so slow in the rain, and yeah, or faster,

(01:09):
but but then it's necessary. It's warranted because so many
things that work about you know, overcoming the rain when
you're driving, or like there's just a fine film of
dust on the ground at all times, and so the
roads like turn into this like slimy mess. And yeah,
windshield wipers like get wet once and then don't get

(01:31):
wet for another six months and then they're just yeah,
a little dried out carcasses. So check your wipers, check
your wipers. Don't be caught smearing. Check your wipers exactly.
My name is Jack O'Brien, a K Potatoes O'Brien, and
I wanted to bring that one up because the listener

(01:51):
recently discovered the dish Potatoes O'Brien in the frozen food
section of their grocery market. Just snapped a photo and
asked the question that I think everyone's curious about. Sam
O snow tweeted, Okay, but the longtime listener probably first
time tweeter, I need to know if this was the
thing before your a k A. First of all, thank

(02:12):
you for calling me, but for being a listener. I
I want to believe in the version of reality where
the people of or Ida are such big fans of
this show and like such big believers in the like
broad cross sectional appeal of the Daily Zags that they
named a dish after after one of my a k s.

(02:34):
So that's what we're going with that is you read
it read it on Wikipedia, folks. That's that's the deal.
They named it after me hundreds of years ago somehow.
And I'm thrilled to be joined as always by my
co host Mr Miles Gray. Miles Gray and Jack O'Brien
shout out to this dueling a k A from Johnny Davis.

(02:57):
It's Miles Greg and Jock O'Brian because these are parents
getting actors names wrong. Five ak oh Miles Gregg and
Jocko Bryant. Yeah yeah, Mr Bryant, he sounds fantastic. Thanks
Johnny on the disc Brian for that one. I love that.
That's a great Jocko Bryant. That's probably how my dad

(03:22):
would get my name wrong if he wasn't mind your own,
even though it is his last name is, Like, there's
that Jocko Briant, Jack Bryant kid. Anyways, Miles weird killed
to be joined in our third seat by a very
funny comedium writer and actor you know from such places
as TV doing stand up or acting in Heathers and Corporate,

(03:44):
one of the funniest comedies of the past decade, which
she also wrote for Please welcome back to the show page.
Well thee oh my god, thank you so much, Thank
you Paige for becoming here cracking up. I'm just thinking
of all the actors Amazon my mom has gotten wrong
over the years. I'll never forget. She would not stop saying.

(04:07):
This is during you know, the height of popularity of
that seventies show. She would say, Ashton Coucher, Aston Coocher,
I mean, yeah, the layers of of we've got asked,
We've got coach. I mean, we're having so much fun there.

(04:29):
And then there was a period also, I assume sort
of in the same period of time she would always
say Kelly Clarkston Clarkson, which is not a huge miss.
It's not as bad as Ashton Coucher, but you know,
those are better. I think when you're when you add
a letter like it's like the height of misunderstanding a
name more than wholesale like Ashton Coucher. I'm like, tell

(04:51):
me more about this, Clarkston. Yeah, I'm sure there are more.
Maybe they'll come to me. And I'll shout them out
throughout the podcast is underrated. Try adding teas to people's names,
right does the very standard bread Pitts, which adding or

(05:13):
taking away and was always fun. It sounds like a
business here, but that Brad Pitt owns exactly belonging to Yes, exactly,
How are you doing, page, Where are you coming to
us from? I'm here at home, you know, I'm um.
This is in the wake of the delay of the
Taylor Swift pre sale this morning, so I'm actually feeling

(05:35):
quite relaxed because I thought I had to worry about
it all morning and now I'll worry about it at
three pm. Yeah, you've delayed your slow death by a
few hours. Yeah yeah. Wait are they going to just
evaporate like instantly? I mean, like, I know obviously people
go like on Twitter, I'm seeing people who like I follow,
who live in Japan who are like, you want just
like I'm ready to get these tickets? Is it like,

(05:58):
how how if lee do you have to act when
the tickets drop in order to obtain your seat? Like,
is it like truly like in that moment? Or and
then you have to go to the secondary market or
there's there's time. It's just that the good seats go immediately.
It's really hard to tell because like I have personally
never been the one like making the purchase whenever I have,

(06:20):
Like I went to the Reputation tour with Ellie mclevane,
I'm sure, former guest of the Daily Sight guist and
obviously host of What's your Favorite Taylor Swift Song? And
she bought those tickets then, Like me and my friend
Katie had tickets to the tour for Lover, which was
of course canceled because it was supposed to be summer,

(06:41):
and she had bought the tickets then and then throughout
like since then, Taylor Swift has was gotten more popular
and put out three albums plus her re records, so
like the demand is higher. Yeah, and yeah, so I'm
but I'm feeling very peaceful knowing the it's not happening

(07:01):
right now, nobody has, nobody has a ticket. You're not
losing out. Well, may the May the Gods be with
you on your journey for you. Well, we're gonna get
to know you a little bit better at a moment. First,
we're gonna tell our listeners a couple of things we're
talking about we're gonna just, you know, look at some
mainstream reads on what happened in the mid term election

(07:23):
from the New York Times. We're going to talk about
the GOP continuing to struggle with their identity as a
Trump or not a Trump party. Are we still emo
or not? And then we're gonna look at the Climate
Summit that's happening that it is ending this week, and

(07:45):
just a little kind of behind behind closed doors. There's
the sort of big controversial things about the food and
the sponsors, and then there's some things that are happening
behind closed doors that feel like they should be more controversial.
We will talk about all of that plenty more. But
first page, we like to ask our guests, what is
something from your search history? Okay, well, I was gonna

(08:09):
say best seats so Fi Stadium, but I feel like
that's just more of us talking about the same. But
I also had recently googled Irish girls names, and that
was because I was panicking at a show where I
knew they were filming the sets. And I've been doing
a joke where I say a real person's name, and

(08:30):
I thought maybe I should come up with a different name.
But it's just such a funny name to me. And
I was in the back trying to come up with
a fake name. And the problem with that stuff is
it's the real example is always funnier, just like not possible,
Like I wish I could. I'll share offline with you
guys the name that I that is the true name

(08:52):
of this real person. But I was like in the
back being like, well, I can't say sirsha Everyone knows
that name as Sir Sharonian Like right, I mean, and
you know what, Van, I feel like that's your shift
on succession. We're hearing that, you know what is it?

(09:15):
But that is another iconic one, right, kind of a
cool name. Yeah, this is more of like a the
joke I do is I call her a white girl
named after a pony, and I feel like I feel
like Shade is not a pony name. You know, is
running that that whole operation for Shi. I feel like

(09:38):
you can't go wrong with a Mary to start it off,
like Mary Sheila. Oh yeah, maybe a two partner name
like Mary Sheila Callahan. Yeah, maybe I could make up
a whole hand fake name with the Irish last name.
It's funny how it's true, like truth and comedy is

(10:00):
always like the thing you like one of the first
things you really learn when you're getting into comedy. And yeah,
like to your point, even if you try to engineer it,
the fact, like you know, it's just funnier because it's
coming from the absolute like well of truth and that
probably translates immediately to the audience even know they're like,
was that the person's real name? You think it's just
like the delivery and everything it comes together. How did

(10:21):
it go? What would you come up with? And did
did it hit as hard with the fake name in there?
I just said her real name. It's like, you know what,
And it's like a thing where I don't think that
it's they're going to put that part out online. It'll
be fine, and you know what, if that girl finds out,
I'd honestly be shocked. But I just I think sometimes

(10:43):
once in comedy, when it's like there's something about a
show that's not being filmed, where you go like, I mean,
I'm technically speaking into a microphone to an audience. This
is not private, but it feels different when you're filming
and like posting something online and all that feels like
a different level. I don't know, but yeah, the real,

(11:03):
the real example is always the funniest just is, yeah,
what's something you think is overrated? Okay? I always struggle
with this when I come on here because I don't
want to yuck anybody's young, you know. I I I
was thinking about it though, and this is sort of
like a meta, maybe annoying response, But I do think

(11:25):
actually like rating things and rankings is kind of overrated
because for that exact reason, which is so uh, it's
so subjective, you know, Like I think it's fun to
rank things if like the three of us were like, okay,
what's your top five favorite movies and then we could
talk about it. So often it's like an article that's
like the best movies of all time objectively, and it's like, Noah,

(11:51):
if you don't agree, fuck you you're doing like I'm stupid.
If I have a different thing, I like, well, what's funny?
Because that's I think the thing that's like are rated
too is people's perception of those articles, right, like to
treat them like just because someone uploaded it to a
content management system for a website doesn't mean that it's

(12:11):
the word of God. Yeah that was someone who made
an article. Then for you as the person, you don't
have to go I don't agree. Why are they fucking
with me? It's okay, don't worry about there. Just just
just have your truth and just look, oh that's that's
that's that persons don't worry about it because half the time.
I mean, it's funny though, Jack and I do get
incense though when we see like these like like rankings

(12:33):
of like top albums, like this is stupid? Were they
not a rap? So? Yeah, it's it's hard that The
thing is like, that's why they're such a popular thing
is because they get people mad, right, And that's like
the thing that gets people to read these articles is
people being like what the funk? Like this is? This
is who is this person? And it's like, yeah, who
is this person? They're just an employee of this magazine

(12:57):
or whatever. Right, we need more listicals where we just
have the people themselves, like, all right, Steven Spielberg, give
us your own top ten films of your movies that
you then you have something to really talk about there
you can be like from their perspective, this is how
they rank their work. That I think could lead to
some interesting conversation but like if it's just random person

(13:18):
with following saying this is the anointed list, yeah gets
little Yeah, that would be interesting. Yeah, I was actually
I went to a speaking of concerts, I went to
Mazie Peters last night at the Wiltern. I don't know.
She's a young pop artist. I really like her, and
she remember she introduced one of her songs of saying
this is my favorite song from the album, and I
was like, oh gosh, you never know. I love when

(13:41):
that happens. Yeah, they tell you and it's like not
the song you would have picked, and then yes, I
could appreciation for it. That's fun. I like when like, yeah,
a director comes out and it's like these are my
five favorite movies and they're not like the movies you
would expect of them, and you know, you discover in
you Jim. I am definitely guilty of googling on multiple occasions.

(14:05):
Like one of the best movies on Netflix this this Marth. Yeah,
it's like have you ever heard of Monty Python and
the Holy Grail Ship? The Irishman is like still ranking
it's Jurassic Park. But then you can like go through
and just cherry pick, like the Weird Ones that you
haven't heard of or you know, something like that. Yeah,

(14:28):
I guess the thing that you can do if you
want to, like look at reviews and stuff as a
way of figuring out what you want to consume is
like if you have a reviewer or somebody that you
typically agree with, it is kind of the only way
to really get at that. But yeah, yeah, I wish
there was more emphasis on this is my opinion. And

(14:48):
you know, because so much of why I like certain
movies or music or whatever is because of a personal
connection I have with it. Because I go objectively, that
is the best. Like I watched that. I watched the
Lindsay low and Christmas movie. Did you enjoy it Falling
Falling in Christmas or Falling christ Uh? Yeah, it was cool.
I mean like it wasn't mad. I'm not going I

(15:09):
never went to a Christmas movie being like, this is
gonna be fun. The seminal work. I'm like about physical comedy.
Lindsay Lohan's having fun all right, Yeah, no, totally. I
think that reminds me. Actually, I just remembered. I think
that last time I was on here, I was saying
that the underrated thing was marrying me. Yeah, and I

(15:30):
think and I had just seen it too, I was like, yeah,
I'll go with that. Yeah, it's so much about like
going in with a certain like certain expectation or recognizing
like kind of the category. You know, absolutely, yeah, have
you guys heard of Apocalypse? Now that's on the top
ten list November? The guy, the guy who was morpheous

(15:52):
and the Matrix is in there. What is something you
think is underrated besides marry me? Of course? Okay, I
was thinking about this. I feel like there are a
lot of bands that like, we're popular a long time
ago ish and they were like kind of viewed as
lame or whatever, and now they's gonna be coming back around.
And I think a top example of that is Red

(16:13):
Hot Chili Peppers. I feel like for years people were like,
Red Hot Chili Peppers are stupid and lame. Meanwhile, I'm
back here being like I've absolutely could saying the entirety
of Californication, and I'm supposed to be shamed for that.
And there's a part of me that feels like as
I'm seeing like when they were like performing at the
v m A S and stuff, I was like, I'm

(16:35):
glad they're I'm glad they're doing well. Anthony Keats's hair
looks ridiculous. Obviously there's things that we can poke fun
at the Red Hot Chili Peppers for. But at the
end of the day, I think they're they've they've been
underrated for years, and I mean, spies from China do
try to steal our minds elation. They were just ahead

(16:56):
of the time, their time in pointing that out. TikTok.
You know, yeah, man, it's so true. I mean, I
feel like the same thing was happening with like Sublime.
Everyone's wearing Sublime t shirts or like for sale at
urban outfitters and stuff, and it's like it's again, it's
about perspective. It's like, I don't think that the Red

(17:16):
Hot Chili Peppers and Sublime are like the best bands
of all time, but I'm like I do. If I'm
if I'm driving down the freeway, like driving into San Diego,
I would love to hear what's going on with Sublime.
You know, RHCPK man, that was big for a while
where people are hitting us with the Red Hot Chili
Peppers California Fizza Kitchen collab a case. I think ye

(17:40):
Red Hot Chili Peppers just has this. I don't know
they have this thing. I think it's because because Ketas
can't sing, sir. But Heli and Ketis both have them
where everybody could sing their songs because they showed you
how somebody who can't sing sings those songs. I love that.
I'm not I can't say and I like to sing

(18:00):
in my car right, and same with like even in Cobaine.
I mean, I think Nirvana is better than those bands,
but like there's there's also there's an appeal of the
lead singer who can't sing that I think instantly makes
like it doesn't intimidate you to sing it, although that
never stops anyone from singing their favorite song. But like
with someone's like can't stop addicted to the shoot Gig,

(18:21):
You're like, come on, that's fine. I could do that.
I could do that. I had that in my mind.
Just can't stop addicted to the bing bong, which is
incorrect but actually literally written that out is like one
of my favorite like the character from Inside Out. Yeah,

(18:43):
I think yeah, I'd like to see that collab. I'd
like to see a Red Hot Chili Pepper soundtrack on
the next Pixar film. Yea r H p K can't
stop addicted to the bread stick? Do they even have breadsticks?
I don't think so. I'm sure they do. Yeah, I

(19:04):
mean their their food is basically breadsticks. Let's can't stop
but diicted to the spin dip because that's Yeah, you've
really put a lot there, like there's a lot of
fun to be had there. I mean, you've been pitching,
we've been pitching the corporate sponsors. But job salad is
barbecue goes big. You know what I mean? You got

(19:27):
you could do it all. It's not like welcome to
see p K. You got a reservation. Okay, let's see
there's you can do it the whole thing anyway, is
that gang? Get on that. Yeah, it's enough. Yeah, page
just you look you now the toothpastes come out the tube.

(19:49):
It's kind to embrace it. We've let it rest like
a pizza dough getting ready for to be baked. And
now it's risen. It's risen, it's ready, it's ready. It's like,
all right, let's take a quick break and we'll be
right back. And we're back. And you know, I think

(20:20):
we were all eagerly awaiting what the mainstream media is
read on the election results. We're gonna be you know
that there's an article that the headlines are coming out
the New York terms was the greatest mid term, the
greatest election for leftist and progressive policies, and not those headlines, Miles,
because that was there. I saw that. That seemed to

(20:40):
be something. I wait, what did they say? Where? Where
did you see that? In the New York Times? Talking?
All right, So in the New York Times they had
the headline how the mid terms became a squeaker, which
is a fun word. But with that you you expect
some analysis of what was actually happening here, and instead
it's a lot of reporting from insiders who missread the

(21:03):
election that there's like a It opens with the guy Maloney,
who's like the D Triple C guy who was like
in charge of a bunch of the strategy and then
lost his own election in a massive upset and was
like totally outside of this wave that they're trying to explain.
It opens with a scene where he's like arguing about

(21:25):
how they should approach it, and he writes believe on
the board like a Ted Lasso quote, and but then
they're like, and then he lost, So nobody really knows
what's going on here. They actually like lay the bread
crumbs and then it's like they just they walked right
up to it and then they won't say what actually happened.

(21:48):
So one big thing they say Democrats actually one voters
who quote somewhat disapproved of Mr Biden, according to initial
exit pulling by a margin of That is a far
cry from the two thousand ten and twenty eighteen mid terms,
when voters who somewhat disapproved of Barack Obama and Mr
Trump overwhelmingly back the opposing party by margins of forty

(22:11):
points and thirty points. So instead of losing by forty
and thirty points, they won by four points. That was like,
it's a huge swing, And so it would seem like
this would lead to a pretty clear message that like
Democrats want more progressive policy than the party is willing
to give them. But you know, they're I don't know.

(22:33):
It just sounds like they don't like the Republicans. That's
what I'm that's the most So I don't have to
do any ideating here. Yeah, they do mention Doob's up top,
which is a big part of the answer but they
don't mention that the Democrats have been unable and unwilling
to codify reproductive rights, which is a way in which

(22:53):
the desires of the voters are more progressive than the
policy and the party Like just over and over again,
you're it with this fact that they instead of stating
that fact or you know, diving into it and you know,
showing the statistics that back it up, instead of that,
they just keep going back to like, well, they doubled

(23:14):
down on this messaging strategy, and then this messaging strategy
worked and this one didn't. And it's all triangulation and
you know, insider, it's like an article written by and
for political strategists instead of like trying to make sense
of what actually happened on Earth the election. Yeah, and

(23:35):
then they also so another headline that had me hoping
that maybe we're going to get like the New York
Town is going to report on kind of the very
straightforward message that we saw in these midterms. Democrats see
a blueprint in Fetterman's victory in Pennsylvania. So it's like,
how are they gonna sunk this up? Right? Like? How

(23:55):
did some more progressive stuff? Yeah, the party a little
bit a big question. The big mystery at the middle
of this one. How did Fetterman outperform Biden all over
the place, specifically and like white working class counties, and
how it feels like a pretty straightforward explanation. You know,
those places went populous for Trump because he acknowledges the

(24:16):
system is bad and the status quo treats them badly.
Fetterman was different from Biden and that he seemed like
he wasn't beholden to the status quo and policies and
talking points. You think they'd like dig into some of
the progressive policies, He focused on some of his like
class based talking points and instead, like the all they

(24:37):
talk about is his car heart jacket, his open neck shirt,
his tattoos, Like this is how they interne introduced him.
But Mr Fetterman, with his tattoos and car heart wardrobe
and priorities like marijuana legalization, appears to have regained ground
with white working class then, like right after Mr Fetterman,
Pennsylvania's Lieutenant governor, who posed for his official portrait in

(24:59):
an open all or gray work shirt, want a larger
share of voters than Mr Biden did in almost every County.
But it's like that's the that's all they focus on
there just and then and then they like get quotes
from Republicans who dismissed him because he's weird looking, and
that's it's it's all optics. I'm still mystified how he
could do so well because he didn't release any of

(25:21):
his medical records. He didn't do good in the debate,
he embraced Biden. He's an odd looking guy in shorts
in a hoodie. I thought this was going to be easy,
Mr Gleason said of Fetterman. And Mr Gleason is a
Republican like strategist. And then there are like two mentions
of policies and campaign platform that seemed to focus on
the working class, and they just bring them up in

(25:43):
like a sentence fragment and then move on and it
just goes back to like we we don't know how
this guy did it. I think it's his bald head. Yeah,
like that really seems to be. What are his tattoos,
I'm like looking at I googled looking at like a
breakdown of his tattoos. I guess he has one that
says I will make you hurt, like from the song. Yeah,

(26:05):
I mean, and they're like, yeah, Fox was like, what
does that mean? Yeah, as long as the headline that
says satanic. Democrat John Federman has tattoo I Will make
You hurt on his right arm that he now hides,
taken from song on suicide right. It's like, Okay, that
just sounds like an explanation, but it's phrased. He like

(26:27):
he was really fucking with Trent. Yeah. It's like it's like,
oh okay, but like, yeah, you look at it's so
funny that they're like, what could it be? Is it
his clothes? Because they don't want to investigate deeper than
ship you can dress up some of the goon in
it can't be that. He was like, yeah, universal healthcare
support like this is These are the on his issues page,

(26:50):
guaranteeing healthcare, supporting workers, plus the union way of life,
promoting like building a clean energy future, fighting inflation and
loading coss A, delivering criminal justice reform, just like these,
protecting women's reproductive freedoms. He's telling you right there, these
are a lot of the things that guess what appealed

(27:10):
to even the rural in these rural areas, tatooed on
his face, just like a list of Well that's what
Patrick Maloney's inna doing his next his next race. He
canna be like, look, I got these tattooed look universal
healthcare dripping out my eye like I worked the guy
in prison. See, I'm I'm with it. They don't mention
universal health care once in the whole art. Yeah, they

(27:33):
don't want to fucking reckon with the with the actual policies.
And again there there this whole like class of people,
the consultants, the journalists. They're so embedded and like invested
in the old way of doing things in politics that
they they're constantly befuddled there, like these fifty year old
tools don't seem to be working anymore. Isn't his car

(27:56):
hard jacket? No, it's fucking inequality. It's the fact that
people are like, holy shit, their existential threats out there
that if I don't fucking actually like begin to pay
attention to who's like in positions of power, ship might
just go by the wayside. Suddenly that's maybe has something
to do with it. Not because he's got this like
like obviously his appeal with the way he dresses is

(28:18):
that he is a little more grounded than every other
plastic doll man you send out or a person to
be like, and I am the Democrat who is not
the Republican exactly the other the other strategy. There. There's
one part where I was like, oh, okay, they're about
to say the thing. An alternative explanation for why Mr
Federman did so much better than Mr Biden and Red

(28:39):
counties besides winning some former Trump supporters is that a
different spectrum voters turned out and it just gets into
his ground game in those counties. And then they close
it out. They do a bunch of interviewing of like there,
you know, they love an interview with a blue collar,
white working class voter to tell them like what they're missing.

(29:01):
And so so they closed the article with a quote
from someone who didn't vote in the election talking about
both clothes. Basically they're like Mr Astle voted twice for
Mr Trump and said that his presidency should have been
more successful. Like some other blue collar Trump supporters, Mr
Astell said Mr Fetterman seemed inauthentic to him in his

(29:23):
shorts and hoodie get ups given them. Mr Fetterman's a
fluent family supported him through his forties when he drew
a token salary as the mayor of Braddock, Pennsylvania. And
then Carhart was originally designed for blue collar people. Mr
asshole said about astole, Sorry he said about Mr Federman's
famous workwear wardrobe. But now Carhart is one of those
brands all the yuppies wear. That's the last line of

(29:44):
the article. That's where they leave it. Yeah, but I
don't know, that's the topic ran right, And it's just
so surface level and mechanics level, like what they can't
possibly think that, like political strategists talking about like not

(30:09):
understanding the results is a better, more coherent narrative to
put out. It's it's just I don't know, it's pretty shocking,
like even though well it's kind of what we expect,
like they're trying to put up a firewall. So the
discussion isn't we just need more, We just need to
lean into these policies more, you know what I mean?

(30:31):
Like if if if they can prevent that from being
the discourse that is generated off the backs of their articles,
then they've done something good because everyone who reads it
when they all get together, like did you read Oh wow,
like the mid terms is great? Yeah, I think it's
the look of Federman that I think is really helping.
We just need more people that look like that. It
looks like that's really connecting. No, you fucking googles people

(30:54):
a fucking suffering address that and someone will be like, Hey,
what you're actually you're giving me a vision of something
I can invest in emotionally. Wow, that sounds like a
good proposition. Yeah. I do kind of hope Joe Biden
gets like gets sleeved sleeves like just because from this
and starts wear like a Jeane jacket. Tattoos your skin

(31:18):
is Like I was gonna say, do someone have to
like draw, like stretch it out to make it taught
enough to have the image, but then once it returns
to its normal state, I have to say, is Joe
Biden just go like just just rock like a fun wig.
You don't have to get tattoos with you, like if

(31:38):
you have like gen Z broccoli hair. Yeah. I think
a mullet would work well for him, Like it feels
it already feels like he should have a mullet, you know,
like that fake picture from like the I think it
was like when Clinton was inaugurated or whatever, where it
looks like Joe's got the wild mullet, but it was
someone behind him there. Yeah, okay, maybe like a septim
piercing you know, could you imagine they're so far fucking

(32:02):
behind from being in touch. It's like the most in
touch person they have is like a gen X guy
who's like, I don't know, maybe he could rock like
some flannel and like a Nirvana t uh docs maybe
m h yeah. At at leasty're trying something, do they? Like,

(32:22):
I'm really interested if anybody has like come across an
article where a New York Times or like an interviewer
a New York Times journalist is like yeah, yeah, no,
like we just know we can't say that, like where
like what, I'm curious about the process, even though self selecting,
it's self selecting, you know. The people that last all
think the same way, so you know, very quickly they're like, yeah,

(32:45):
this is how we talk about it over here, and
I'm sure within there they're like, okay, like we're not
gonna go all far left on people when they're talking
about stuff like maybe it was like real issues that
regular people are like experiencing. That was maybe in the
secret sauce of like talking speaking to their lived experiences
and saying, hey, I understand groceries cost way too fucking much.

(33:08):
And guess what, it's not because of this or that.
These fucking companies they're charging whatever the funk they want
and they're getting away with it. Why because their fucking
government doesn't do ship to actually intervene. So that's something
I see as something we can do going forward. That's
that kind of ship. Not hey man, you'll like you
funk with his car Hart al right, John Fetterman, thank
you so much, poor people. Alright, on the other side

(33:33):
of the ticket, Trump, Wait, we're recording this before you
know when Trump is expected to announce, but it's he
most likely announced already right that he's running at this
I mean every if if the reporting is accurate, if
as you have as you're hearing this, this dude just
pulled up said I'm announcing, baby, I'm ready, And probably

(33:56):
Jared and Ivanka won't be there because I was. The
last thing I read was they have want nothing to
do with the announcement because they're probably do a little
rehab on their brand too. Yeah, they're trying to get
to those sick Florida Party I mean, it could be
this could be good or bad. I don't know. Just
we we never want to have to deal with Donald
Trump again, but I don't know. Rhonda Santis just freaks

(34:16):
me out also because he's like like he's like the
kid brother to Donald Trump, and like where Trump's is
like older brother who had like that one good season
to high school football and then just completely burnt out
on his own ego. And he's like, all right, so
I'm not gonna do that, but I can learn from
his terrible mistakes, and he's like the Santists just seems
like the Raptors from the newer Jurassic Park films, where

(34:37):
Trump is like the Raptor from the first one, like
dangerous in the first one, but now this motherfucker's like
like communicating with the other Raptors and like collaborating and
just doing problem solving. That's how it sends with Chris
Pratt like yeah, exactly, exactly. Pretty soon we will see
them together, I'm sure. But I just want to talk
about some of the top headlines that were going into

(34:58):
Tuesday's announcement, because everything has been like this full court
press to be like he sucks, right, is he gonna
be out stated, I don't know. Let's check in with
all the other people in mago world, starting with Mike Pompale,
former Secretary Terry of State. He said he's he ain't scared. Quote.
I think he's asking, like, you know, you know this
guy might announce. You know, obviously you have your own aspirations.

(35:20):
He said, Well, we're trying to think our way. We're
trying to think our way through figuring out what's next
for us. But what happens today or tomorrow, what some
other person decides won't have any impact on that decision.
We need more seriousness, we need we need less noise,
we need steady hands. We need leaders that are looking forward,
not steering in the rear view mirror claiming victimhood. So

(35:41):
that's him with his lightly spicy take. Yeah, he's like
preparing himself to run against Trumpet sounds like yeah, yeah,
and we'll we'll see, because once he just starts being like, yeah,
well your wife is ugly, then like suddenly like well
that does seem to be The other like comprehensive take
that has been taken away by the mainstream media is

(36:02):
that Trump is poison and he's the reason they lost,
but so so I'm sure all the political analysts and
strategists and consultants around all of these candidates are telling
them like, yeah, it's a wide open field, Like get
in there and pay me. I mean you you get
a field day getting in one of these candidates hears

(36:23):
the Wall Street Journal has basically said the GOP in
the country would be best served if Mr Trump seeded
the field to the next generation of Republican leaders to
compete for the nomination. Okay, so the Wall Street Journal
is not there. Lindsay Graham, Hey, are you down, my man?
He said, let's see what he says. This is a
quote from Lindsay Graham when they asked about like will
you support him? This is Lindsay Graham's answer, quote, Let's

(36:44):
see what he says. I'll tell you after Georgia. So
he's given two deadlines that we'll see what he says,
and so let's see what happens after Georgia. And then
rond Is Santis himself. They're saying again he was doing
a press conference. They're like, hey, what about this noise?
Looks like Trump, you know, saying some stuff about you.

(37:05):
What do you think about everything? That's going on around
your campaign or potential campaign. And then this is how
he responded. And really what matters is are you leading,
are you getting in front of issues, are you delivering
results for people? And are you standing up for folks?
And if you do that, then none of that stuff matters.
And and that's what we've done. We focused on results

(37:27):
and leadership and uh, you know, at the end of
the day, I would just tell people to go check
out the scoreboard from last Tuesday night. Okay, that's what
he said. Oh you, oh, you think he's got something,
got some juice scoreboard, motherfucker. I won by twenty All
his all his bigs got blown out. Any other questions subtle? Subtle? Interesting?

(37:49):
I mean yeah, I I do feel like Trump is
Bill like the announcing early, like he he loves to
be in conflict, and so I feel like his brand
is crisis and conflict and being in fights and ship slinging,
and so he's probably making a strategically smart move by

(38:13):
like starting early, getting all these people like talking spicy,
and then he can he can create the conflict that
he's I think he's he's in a better position to
be like the King of the Hill type thing and
shoving people back down who are trying to get to
his perch versus trying to get to someone else's perch,

(38:33):
you know what I mean, Like if if the if
the roles are inverted and it's like De santisis party
now and Trump's trying to claw back. I don't know
how what this, I don't know what his odds are there,
But because he's still firmly at the top, I just
I'm just not confident in the combined power of like
Rupert Murdoch's media and the establishment can get Trump to vanish.
It's just because he again, he still has fans. So

(38:54):
unless you can get the fans to like abandon, that's
its gonna be a fucking It's gonna be a It's
gonna be a big fight, big old fight. Yeah. He's
great at getting people to vote both for him and
against him. So like in a in a Republican primary,
I feel like the main thing that comes out is
getting people to vote for it. And to the people

(39:16):
he's gonna getting to vote against him, don't don't vote
in mass in the Republican primary, at least they haven't traditionally.
So it's just funny too, because on their right, they're
also like, you know, you have the New York Times
be like here's our opped where we're like take us
to your poor people world and like try and tell
you what the real problems are. But like, and they

(39:39):
clearly don't understand what's going on with you know, most
of like like working America, And it's just funny, Like
on the right they're doing this thing where like they
know they're white supremacists, like creature goblins that like everything
they stand for is like repugnant to a self respecting
human being. But they were even like I don't even understand,

(40:00):
and what the heck happened? I do? I just have
to play this clip from Janine Pierrot Judge Jannine Pierrot,
because she's so animated trying to figure out like what
is going on. It's like, yeah, don't act stupid, you
know what happened. She posits that this abortion thing came
out of nowhere on us, the thing that your party

(40:20):
has been like I'm single minded, focused on getting passed
for the past fifty years. Listen to this, speaking of
no personal responsibility. This is her just trying to fucking
figure it out. I'm like in the middle of her
rant because she's already like, I don't understand Joe Biden,
Afghanistan woke, Bryce gas prices shouldn't have won. But here
she is where she's starting to get into this whole

(40:40):
abortion thing. The economy, economy with Afghanistan, everything about what
we've been through for the last two years has been
a nightmare. And I'll tell you what won this selection
for the Democrats. Sure, the young people came out and
vote and they got paid. I mean, they got the
student loans paid back. It was a buy out. I mean,
that's what happened them. But the other thing is abortion.

(41:02):
It was all about abortion. Joe Biden didn't do abortion.
Abortion just kind of fell out of the Supreme Court
for whatever reason. It married you to this year and
that was it. That's all the Democrats and Needa. Now
they're gonna beat their chest, they're gonna say, what's because
we're so great, Joe Biden, what a leader America? Ain't
some Okay, And that's all I have to say. Okay,

(41:26):
So it's not the decades long fucking war you've shadow war.
They've been fighting both like overtly and covertly like, come
on now, it's just wild though. Two, that they're simultaneously
they're like reaping what they sow is like like just rhetorically,
and they're like, ah, how did they don't like that?

(41:48):
Sho can I why does she have like a yeah,
I look, I'm not gonna speculate she you might have
injured herself in some kind of this is it's just
interesting to see someone animatedly, you know, talking ye like, yeah,
it's an interesting reveal when you're giving a passion rant

(42:10):
and then you're like, oh, you hurt yourself, you fall out.
It comes in like right as she's getting the most
animated it. Yeah, she's been rocking it for the last
couple of weeks, I think, yeah, she's like And also
in my in my uh, in my building where I live,
they didn't put up a wet floor sign and now
and so that came out of nowhere and abortion just

(42:32):
fell out of the sky. What even is abortion? What
are they even talking about? Man? That is also kind
of how the mainstream media is treating it. That it's
just like, well, this gift to the Democrats and that's
why they won, and it's it's not acknowledging like that
that statistic that I'm gonna like have a hard time
getting over is like usually you've, like, people who are

(42:55):
dissatisfied with the president vote for the other party by
forty two thirty thirty to forty points, and this time
they voted for the president they're dissatisfied with by five points.
And it's because, yeah, it's abortion is wildly unpopular. The
Republican Party has been working forever to pass this incredibly

(43:19):
unpopular thing. People aren't happy with the job that Biden
and the Democratic Party have been doing to fight back
against it. But it's better than the party that actually
passed the things. So again, it's like they people want
more progressive policy than the two major parties are willing
to give them. But and now the Supreme Court is

(43:39):
basically just seen as an extension of the GOP to
a lot of people because of like how like fucking
chaotic some of the past confirmation hearings have been. And
then on the heels of that, you see them doing
decisions like man, well man, maybe we'll you know, here's
here's the jobs decision. Here's us you know, maybe doing
a little something to that student loan, forgive this we'll

(44:00):
see if it gets to us. Like you can kind
of see where like the rubber like hit meets the
road for a lot of things too. And you know,
you don't want to have a like to say your
whole brand is like, yeah, those are all our people,
the ones who are into taking away all of your
fucking rights, that's our brand. Actually, oh wait you oh,
they're starting to connect that. Now, what the heck happened

(44:21):
back there for some reason that we're still looking into.
We're not sure where this abortion thing came from, but
it fell out of the sky. Amazing? Is that just
to just absolve themselves of like saying that their party,
you know, Like I'm trying to understand, like I get,
I get like the very human instinct to be like,

(44:43):
I'm not going to take an l on that thing
I believe in, But that's me lying to myself. Is
that her lying to herself? Is it? Because there's also
a version where you see this to where people are
so fucking out of touch that they're really like, wait,
what that's not popular? Like are you for real? Yeah?
I think it's that I'm trying to figure out which
one it is out of touch or ego preservation. I

(45:05):
think it's out of touch. I think they're used to
being the ones who can motivate the base with like
extreme views, and they're just suddenly in the find out
phase of fucking round and finding out and they are
not They they're not equipped with the structural kind of
ideas too to like understand what has happened here, and

(45:28):
so they're just kind of flailing around. M Yeah, well, yeah,
we just came out just a damn policies just kind
of came out of nowhere on us, came out of
the dang blue sky, you know. The heck was that
all right, we'll take a quick break and we'll be
right back, and we're back, and yeah, I mean a

(46:01):
thing that we kind of brushed past, but was, like
Federman was one of his top campaign platform priorities with climate.
Climate is I think a big reason in addition to
the economy and economic inequality, but climate is also a
big reason that especially young people are dissatisfied with the
status quo and like so might be willing to vote

(46:25):
against the Republicans who are like party of oil and drill, drill, drill,
in favor of a party that is not doing ship
while the world ends. But at least they're not actively
like what they're just lying about whether they're going to
do something. Yeah, I mean Federman's like he's at least
has some he's genuine and he's like, look, I know

(46:45):
we're fracking out here in Pennsylvania, so I'm not trying
to say that we ain't fracking no more. But also,
shits fucked seriously. Yeah. Yeah, And so I think climate
is probably a bigger and bigger part of this dissatisfaction
with the status quo, that there is this entrenched, you know,

(47:08):
corporate and political class that is unwilling to change things
and change how we do things enough to address climate change.
And we saw that in a big way this week
in the final week of COP twenty seven, the International
Climate Summit, which this year's taking place in Egypt. Two
countries got together, put their heads together and have done all. Apparently.

(47:37):
There are a bunch of speeches, but no talk of
any new announcements or pledges before the whole thing wraps
on Friday, and there's like a bunch of controversies, a
bunch of people being like the menu includes like salmon
flown in from the Atlantic, thousands of miles away, and
I think these are like these symbolic things that the
mainstream media likes to like focus on that yet at

(48:00):
people's you know anxiety that like, well, this is a
ruling class that has none of the same priorities that
we have on this massive subject that is threatening the
lives lives of every every human being on this planet.
And people are like, yeah, so let's let's talk about
how people are mad about the menu because it'll make

(48:22):
them look out of touch. But there's also like big,
gigantic structural issues with how this thing is, how's conference operates.
Like one of the major sponsors sponsors this year is
Coca Cola. Well, they need to drink something, jack, Right,
what's the problem with Coca Cola. Well, there's a recent

(48:44):
report that says the company's production of plastics is increasing.
People are you know, pointing out that that is like
they are one of the biggest polluters in the world.
Oh okay, yeah, that's good. That's not bad. I mean
that's bad. That's bad, which is like exactly why they
would want to sponsor, right, because it makes them look like, yeah,

(49:06):
yeah them. Coke claims they're working on doing better and
believe in effective climate solutions. And that's why people are saying,
like this is all just greenwashing. This is like marketing,
I think. And that's what's really clever too, because even
with the way Coca Cola operates right like, they're like, yeah, man,
we have a commitment to slash our use of plastics.

(49:28):
Here's the thing, you don't know, we can only do
so much. It's our bottlers that ultimately make that decision.
So we can say we're not for fucking with less plastic.
But until you talk to these like six companies that
determine the bottles set to ship goes into Yeah, mac
really do ship for you. Yeah, and those companies have
all said they're not doing ship. Do you think Pepsi

(49:48):
is kind of like enjoying being second best now, like
being like the attentions off us, like and we were
actually good with the fact that nobody talks about Pepsi. Yeah,
nobody's talking about that. Pepsi is still operating in Russia,
you know, doing commercials with with putin because they're like,
at least we're not non joking. But I feel like
that's what they think could be doing right now, and
we don't know. Yeah, we don't know. I mean they

(50:11):
make they make mountain dews, so they get a pass
just because of their proximity to mountain dew, you know,
like i'd do collected from mountains and put in even
if it is at the expense of everyone on Earth,
so be it. But there's also details from this conference
that are kind of what I always suspected is going

(50:34):
on with that, that is keeping climate change from actually
like being addressed with actual policies. For instance, there are
a ton of oil lobbyists at the summit making deals
in closed rooms. This was has apparently been happening for years.
There's one scientists who like works on carbon emissions, and

(50:56):
it came out and said the real deals are handled indoors,
you know, and closed rooms. This is the management management professor.
At the first one he attended, COPS seventeen in South Africa,
he tried to get into a session on carbon emissions
in the mining industry, a topic he was researching. But
guess what they turned me away And who walks in

(51:17):
the room to discuss to develop global climate policy CEOs
of Rio tinto shell BP, followed by the ministers. Wow right,
which is how business is done. So there's just this
immense inertia, like this giant global economy that has a

(51:37):
built in logic and like a built in way of
doing things, and none of it involves listening to professors
instead of like you know, discussing first and foremost what's
good and bad for your bottom line. And this year
the lobbyists there were six thirty six lobbyists from the
oil and gas industry registered to attend. Last year there

(51:57):
was five d three, So clearly they're seeing that this
is a winning strategy. And there's literally more of them
than there are people representing like the humans of the
countries that they're coming from. The delegations there to zero
more people representing gas and on earth fuckers than anybody else.

(52:17):
I mean, it's it is wild, but it's it's just
a reflection of everything that you see around us. You
know that the people that have the seat at the
table are the businesses, and they have they literally will
sit next to the politicians and be like, Okay, so
how can we work this out? Because you know, we're
not we don't want to change too much, but like
I get y'all need to win too, so let's figure

(52:39):
out what that can be. While we can maintain our
business and that it's the same thing. You see it
so many decision making like arenas for decision making where
you have the companies the politicians, But what about the
billions of human beings who are actually like on the
brink of a human total human rights disaster. Because we're

(53:00):
not talking about it like that. It's just like, oh wow,
what what will they come up with this time? Joe
Biden gave a good speech and Al Gore said something nice.
But at the end of the day, we're talking about
you know, real fucked up, horrible things coming down from
more people on top of the people who are already
experiencing it, and the lack of addressing that situation, the

(53:20):
lack of funds being pushed towards the countries that are
right now on the receiving end of our lacks policies.
So yeah, it's it's it's very very frustrating because you know,
you think, do you look at everything that's being reported
and you you'd like to hear that there's some kind
of serious discussion happening aside from like whatever piecemeal like

(53:43):
you know, incremental thing they'll announce that like hey, it
turns out, we have like six more years before fun,
so we'll do things in like five and a half years, right, right, right,
and you know, insidiously fund research that tells people what
they want to hear instead of the research that is
just motivated by the scientific method and you know, democratic

(54:04):
truths of like, you know, this is bad for the
most amount of people, but yeah, it's basically people. People
are now saying that this climate change conference is essentially
now a fossil fuel industry trade show, which makes sense.
Every every like capitalist enterprise wants to eventually influence the
most amount of money, and it makes sense that that

(54:27):
that's where it would go. It's just further proof that
like you can't fix this system with the system, like
the current system is broken, and you can't use a
broken tool to fix a broken system. You know, well,
but you can pull yourself up by your own bootstraps.

(54:47):
That's that is the answer. It's like the same logic
is like, well, the same bootstraps you would pull yourself
up with are the tools you need to use to
fix the whole fucking thing. Mm hmm. Yeah, well I
don't know, we'll see. I'm for it. Yeah, you know,
all these all these oil CEOs, I'm sure have biographies

(55:07):
that are all about how they pulled themselves up by
the bootstraps and yeah, right, well you know, we shall see.
I look, they still a few days. Maybe they'll surprise us,
you know, maybe they'll surprise us. You never know, but yeah,
I mean it's things don't bode well in general because
the powers that be, like the status quo is here

(55:29):
for the time being. Yeah, m and they serve the salmon,
so right, and they served salmon. Also. Also the other thing,
like the other big story about the food, in addition
to it being like super lux and like not making
any sense from a climate policy perspective, was people at
the event being like, this food is garbage, this tastes terrible.

(55:52):
I saw some people have McDonald's driven in through the
desert just to, you know, just so they could eat
something normal, and oh my god. So it's just it's
everything you would expect in your worst nightmares about like
where you are, like most ham fisted satire of how
the world actually operates. Why can't there be like a

(56:13):
Leftover's type event at CP seven or like kind of
a potluck style, like everybody brings something. Oh I met
the TV show where those people vanished in the rapture.
Oh yeah, but I'd also make the meat leftovers. That
would be more thank you, Now we're not wasting. Okay,

(56:35):
got some old McDonald's fries, the salmon skin from earlier. Okay,
we can do someone. Everyone should be shopping vintage and
and you know, drifting, and they should be having a potluck.
Make the meat a freaking diet where it's like all
just food from a dumpster that's been salvaged. I mean,
it's not often God, that you're going to get all

(56:57):
the bad guys in one place and could just wrapture
him away to fun down right. Yeah, anyway, think about it. Guy.
