Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to season thirty six, episode
one of Dirt Daily, June eighteen, two thousand eight teen.
My name is Jack O'Brien a K. Miles and Jack
both got along. They've probably got me down by the
end of this song. Seemed like there's a gang go
against me every time I'm in the street. I hear

(00:20):
jah jah yeah yah h. That is very Timothy Rosen Jr.
Timmy Badger, thank you, and I'm thrilled to be joined
as always by my co host, Mr Miles Jack, So
thank you so much. We thank you for bringing the
screen back. He's your boy, Miles Great a k A
Great Parlor, the ron for Pelee Ak, Cristiano Grey, Naldo,
ak Z Gangzi, don a K, Diego, Maradonna Summer because

(00:43):
I work hard money and Sandon And that's a little
uh football ak inspired action for you by me that
I just did in a caffeine induce panic moments before
this report. Okay, it was good. It seems like you've
been working on it all weekend and we are thrilled
to be Joe and by an actor, a comedian who

(01:03):
you've seen many times, perhaps on Two Dope Queens. She's
a television writer for shows like broad City, also a
co host of an upcoming show on this very network.
Please join me and welcoming Naomick Paragon. Hey, how how
are you? You know? I'm doing all right and doing

(01:24):
all right. It's Monday. We're reconnecting, you know, we're reconnecting
with expectations, were reconnecting with showing up, We're reconnecting with
our God, you know what I mean. So it's a
it's a moment's in context. Who is your guy? Probably
um Teresa Quitch? Oh, yes, I mean that's how Yeah.

(01:45):
On the show that was like Judace. Well, I feel
like in Italy they would probably not be saying. All
I know is you know Teresa, she'd been through it,
ye know what I mean. She's an ex convict set
it off style. Yeah, and she's back. That's body ever,
so I need to channel that energy like fraud or

(02:06):
something like that. Yeah, alright, scam life, Naomi. Before we
get into your search history and all that good stuff,
we like to give our listeners a summary of the
show we're gonna be talking about. Tesla. Tesla just seems
to always be in the news for the wrong reasons.
Specifically Elon Musk. We're gonna be talking about Movie Past

(02:27):
releasing their first movie over this weekend, big hit that
I'm sure everybody has seen so we can speak knowledgeably
about it. We're gonna continue to talk about the Trump
administration's just awesome policy of separating children from their parents. Uh,
they even have a playbook for how to do that now,

(02:48):
and ask the question is it time to just start
fighting people? We are going to talk about the greatest
matchup of one on one basketball that went down over
the weekend since Jordan versus Bird in that Nintendo game.
We are going to talk about actual seismic activity following

(03:08):
Mexico's victory I think it was actually their goal. And
we'll talk about some other sports news. But first up,
we like to ask our guests, Naomi, what is something
from your search history that is revealing about who you are? Well?
I recently searched this weekend for best pancakes near me,
which is my truth. You know, I love a breakfast,

(03:31):
I love a carbohydrate. You know, the weekend is the
only time you get to have the pancakes, the rich toes,
because the way I eat them, Honey, you have them,
you gotta nap it off. You know what I mean.
You can't do that during the week. You can't take
that hit. I mean you can if you know what
I'm saying, keep it well. Yeah, and I've been told
I can't do that. A lot of morning napping at

(03:52):
the work. I get it. Waking up takes a lot
out of you. He has the breakfast siesta and then
the lunch siesta. Yeah, that's way. Wait, so what would
you end up? One? Like where'd you go? Square one?
Which is a place on Fountain And they were like,
you know, it's like they're only only eight to three,
so it's like only you know what I mean, you

(04:12):
have a couple of sandwiches, but I mean they and
you know what, those pancakes didn't disappoint. That French toast
did not disappoint. Yes, I did create a scenario where
I could have both. Yes, create I made the person
with me order the other like you probably want those.
I was like, are you liking the boot for that?
Let reach that? Let me just like I'm diabetic, Like, no, no,

(04:36):
you could, I don't worry about it. The bread hitting
for the sweet breakfast carbohydrate trifecta. What's the third waffles, yea,
pancakes waffles, French toast boom, So you're French toast and
pancakes over waffles. Yes, I am with you, thank you,
thank you. I feel seen. Have you had a Japanese
pancake yet? No? See that's the that's the way of that.

(04:59):
I'm trying to get people on. Uh. I forget what
guests was in here talking about it first, but we're
talking about Japanese pancakes. The Japanese pancake is the most
decadent kind of pancake you can have. Now I'm trying
to think of I always have been eating them at
my house as a kid. My mom would make them,
and you can buy the mix in stores and I
will give you that link later on. But I think

(05:19):
at the New Otani Hotel they do make Japanese style
pancakes here. I r l at the restaurant describe them
for they're fluffy, they're they're like a cake basically. I
mean like, I'm gonna show you a dumb because thick, yes, ma'am. Uh,
and you will be having to put on your gauntlet
after you try this thing because that or some kind

(05:40):
of blood pressure cuff. What do you pour on it,
just syrup butter, you know what I mean? Do it?
Do it normal? But it's the texture and and everything
else is that's the flavor within that I think you'll enjoy. Naomi,
are you butter syrup all of it? Do you put
fruit on it? What's your favorite pancake topping? Butter syrup?
You know what what I'm really feeling myself whipped cream? Baby? Yes,

(06:02):
because then you just had dessert. You know what I'm saying?
As a born in dessert the griddle and get their
like obscene pancakes over there the grid on Sunset Fairfax
to write this down? Well, yeah, and people line up
and most people get like the just wild just like
hub cap sized pancakes. Yeah, I love that. I'd never

(06:25):
finished them, though I feel guilty. Yeah, they can never
finish it. But exactly you can't wait when you sauce
them up. Yeah, served him up, No way, no going back.
That would be an interesting to try and reheat resurrected butter.
You wouldn't be able to pick them up with a fork.
What is something you think is overrated? Okay? Will it

(06:46):
surprise you just say that I think that salads are
overrated considering we just had a lot of conversation about pancakes.
I'm not surprised casalads are over it is. I feel
like everyone's always trying to get me to have a
damn salad as a meal. I don't believe salads are meals. Okay,
you can have that shirt on the side. You can,
you know, whet your appetite with a light balsamic moment moment.

(07:13):
But like the act of eating salads makes me feel
more like a cow. Then they probably just have a
burger and that I got this letter and it's always
too big and just when you got to shove a
forkful of just dry leaves or lightly dressed leads. I
hate it. It feels like I'm being punished. No, absolutely,

(07:38):
I love a salad, but yeah, as a meal, it
is tough. It's so sad. I do I like. I
like eating salad, but I'm not here to say that
salads are like underrated or anything. I just woke with salad.
But yeah, I get the only way I can make
salad a meal is when pretty much there's just so
many other things on top of it, like eggs or

(07:59):
are you putting? I hate know, I hate cold meat, though,
I don't like the cold chicken chunks, you know, when
you go to I'm like, that's not good. But then
I know I need to put a protein on it.
And then you don't like that mixture of the hot
with the cold welted leaves exactly. I don't even know

(08:20):
we're advocating for anymore. You know, I'm just gonna eat.
Isn't a dinner salad. If you say dinner salad, isn't
that implied to be just like a small side salad
that you have with dinner. I think, right, right, dinner salad, man,
I'm having salad for dinner. I just mean, well, I'm
just thinking that, like it's salad. Is so not a
meal that they called dinner salads, And it's well, it's

(08:43):
so much water. But if you really think about how
like I've surprised myself when I I've just bought in
like a whole just case of a rugula, and then
I'm like, I ate the whole thing in one sitting
because it's just water. But from one quick Google search
jack a dinner salad. It seems like off the search
history or what comes up on Google, they're trying to
say like this is a main course salad. Nah, they're

(09:04):
wrong once again. Wrong. What is something you think is underrated?
You know what? I have a lot of loves you
know that are I don't know, fringe if you will. However,
I really want to bring something into the four, you know,
for this audience, for America, for the nation. We're not
talking enough as a community about the novels of Jonathan Kellerman.

(09:25):
And look, these are books that maybe your mom reads.
They are. However, as people are more and more obsessed
with true crime, you know what I mean. Kellerman, Okay,
these are mysteries, but we are seeing it's really procedural
in tone. I'm a big fan of his Alex Delaware series,
and that's about a child psychologist who keeps getting ensnared

(09:46):
and the police's work because Alex Delaware is best friends
with Milo Sturgis, who works the l A. P. D. Yes,
l A is a character in the books. And now
that I live here, I'm really I have a new appreciation,
you know, for when he's trying to find the best
times to get from the West side to the East
side to catch someone. Yeah, like that's a great I

(10:11):
guess he's going free because I'm not driving in that,
Like we'll have to interview him in the morning. And
it's like he skipped down and he went to Glendale.
It's so good and they're really quick and easy. The
Los Angeles nous of that is just like, well, we
can't not talk about the traffic. Also, I'd be like, yo, police,
work out of here, go do your job. We're not

(10:32):
like me where I'm like, well I don't want to
go to so really great, Like that's different than like
there's a murder suspect, but also five is a mess.
So does him being a child psychologist does that come
into like does he always have to like at the
end to catch the bad guy, he has to like
trick some kid into like giving him like the passwords,

(10:55):
or like the murder is being guarded by a child.
There's something who he has to outwit. Well that's what
they half the time. Yes, it will be involved and
the rest of it it'll be like and I don't
know why Milo at the l a p D constantly
needs him, But it's like he's a child, but he's
just smart, you know what I mean. He's constantly like
taking jogs up Laurel Canyon and then being like, I'll
stop in this house and get some evidence. He goes
above and beyond. He's a lot of free time. He's

(11:17):
in private practice, so he's just like, I'm gonna go
see what I can get done on this case for you.
I'm going about my business. Where does he live on
the web side, like Beverly Glen or something like that.
He's got a fancy Oh, he's very in the hills. Yes,
he's very fancy. Which I'm starting to like this just

(11:37):
because it's so specifically l I'm like, well, and where
does he live and where does kids go to school?
It was great. I was reading Breakdown. I just finished
his not the newest but the second newest, and where
he's like he goes to Culver City and then Milo
calls him. He's like, we gotta go see someone Culver City.
He's like, I was just there. Like it's like, mother,

(12:00):
we're trying to solve a cry so much sass. He's like,
I'm not going out there for I was just there.
Usually have told me because I already came back. He's
got so for people who aren't near Google right now,
Jonathan Kellerman, his covers appear to be just that boilerplate
crime fiction paperback cover with giant his name, then giant title,

(12:24):
and then the image always is like an inanimate object
that's sort of blurry or something. Well, you're also always
getting like some sort of like a city escape, a
blurry street, blurry house, blurry backyard, never a person's face,
the gallumn of Paris. Why would I read that? I'd
rather read Billy Straight because that has the fucking observatory

(12:46):
Griffith Observatory on the cover. I'm only read the ones
that have very l a covers, and I think I'm
gonna read something now because they sat. I don't read
books like that enough or at all. They're very fun.
Not my favorite name of a thick character, Alex Delaware.
Like Milo Sturgis sounds like the problematic radio show version

(13:06):
of me. What's up, yall, Milo Sturgis? Hey, let's do
a quick immigrant count. How many got detained? Dope? Like
that sounds like the kind of dude who's celebrate that
kind of ship. Uh? And finally, what is a myth?
What's something people think it's true that you know to
be false. You know, I didn't want to have to

(13:27):
bring it up. I'm trying to stay positive. But I
think a myth that I think we all I just
want us to all agree. So people do, some people don't.
The myth that Los Angeles is a city. It is
truly a community of strip malls. It's a community of
strip malls that we traverse. It is not a city.

(13:47):
You can't get a meal after ten thirty except for
a handful of places now miles. You're looking at me.
I know you've got probably got a list of twenty
restaurants in your head where I can eat after eleven.
But I'm telling you my experience, it means like I
would have to getting a vehicle and a cross townships,
you know what I mean. Um, when I'm walking the

(14:08):
streets of Los Angeles, there aren't people on these streets.
There aren't lights on these streets because they have not
planned for human movement. All right, that's some suburban ship.
And I feel like if we would just say, if
somebody just said to me, okay, you should you're gonna
move to the suburb where, for some random reason most

(14:29):
of film and television is created, I would have said, great,
I'm gonna leave my sneakers at home. We're not going nowhere.
We ain't walking, you know what I mean. I would
have said, great, I'm gonna say about my money so
I can get a fancy house, because if I'm gonna
do the suburbs, I'm gonna do it right, you know.
But I was led to believe I was moving to
a damn city and then realized I couldn't get anywhere

(14:51):
on public transportation basically, so let me sit tight. The
Purple line should be up about seven years, and at
that point you have cursory access to Beverly Hills adjacent
areas Beverly Hills. No, no, I mean, well, everyone in
Beverly Hills has been the biggest fucking blocker for having

(15:12):
worthwhile public transportation because they've always been like they're the
most nimby of not in my backyard type people who
are like, I don't want blue collar people to getting
off my area, and Beverly Hills is kind of in
the middle of it, like it's not You've got to
get through the yeah, if you want to. Recently, you
know Wilshire right there, and just take Wilsher all the
way down hills Hills. Uh uh. Once again, just their

(15:38):
favorite place here on on the zeke to you first city,
what's the biggest thing. If you could just Wizard of
Oz this ship and snap your fingers and give l
A one thing to make it, to improve it and
make it the city that you need. What is it?
It's twenty for our public transportation. Okay, that's one thing. Okay, great,
ye alright, boom, that's true. Yeah, I'm gonna start a

(15:59):
list and glad you cut me off. There's also there's
also these weird weekends where sometimes it's a holiday weekend,
sometimes it's not a holiday weekend, but like nobody's around
for some reason, maybe like the weather's bad or something.
And that's when I love l A because like you
can just like drive wherever you want and like it
never gets stuck in the trafficcas. I know it l
A before all y'all motherfucker's came, right, But yeah, that's

(16:24):
that's why, like all my local friends when it's like
Thanksgiving Christmas time, when all the transplants like go to
see their families and we're like, yes, keep it keep
it real, or all the broke people who can't afford
to go, you can also enjoy the city at this time.
But yeah, like it's so funny when you actually see
when you get an idea of people who actually go
or like are traveling and sort of get to experience

(16:46):
the city without traffic, it is something else. Yeah, if
you lower it by like just thirty percent less traffic,
it works. It's just that they're always That's why I
just want to tell people. Look, unless you you have
like the brawl, you know, can skills like no me,
don't come out here, don't waste your time or else,
all you're gonna be doing is asking me what I
want when you work as Ancho Chicken. Alright, let's talk

(17:10):
about what's going on today. Over the weekend, Tesla was
trending for the wrong reasons, I would say, um, now,
so a bit of bad luck. One of their cars
started shooting flames out of the bottom. Uh, not intentionally,
it's sucking electric car, I know. I mean not that

(17:31):
I'm using my no science branding, like, well then that's impossible.
But also happened to be the car of the actress
Mary McCormick, who you know from Private Parts and West Twing,
and it was it was her husband's car and nobody
was hurt. But then you know, there was a great
photograph of the car with just flames firing out of

(17:55):
the wheel wells to the point that it almost looked
like something that would be like dope to like a
few but it was not back to the futuring. It
was just accidentally catching on fire, and it just seems
like Tesla. I felt like this was as good a
time as any to bring up the fact that Tesla
is just kind of in this run of bad news

(18:17):
with Elon Musk just being an asshole. He laid off
a bunch of people recently because he overpromised on his
like production goals. He had an earnings call where he
just like talked ship openly to people for asking like
straightforward questions about the you know, goals, and you know what,

(18:39):
he was like, your questions are bone headed. It's like okay,
bone headed, okay, okay. Bonk from Turbographs seriously, Uh, he
claimed that he does not promote unsafe working conditions in
his factory by under reporting serious injuries, even though that
actually was reported by the reveal. There a Peabody winning

(19:04):
journalism outfit and you know, super widely respected and so
not only did he just throw away their complaint and
just you know scoff at them. But now he has
decided he's going to distrust the media and call all
the media liars. And he was like, I'm going to
start a site where we rate media outlets for like trustworthiness.

(19:28):
You know, wasn't he gonna call it Pravda or something?
And they're like, we already got that, yeah, But he
just like it's, you know, a guy who's really good
at one thing thinking that he should run everything. You know,
like people have just blown so much smoke up his
ass about like how cool this one product he made.

(19:48):
Is that now he thinks that he should run the media?
Would take his Twitter away, right, he like all of them.
But also you said he's good at one thing, but
like is he that good at that one thing? I
mean I think so. I mean his companies are doing well.
I mean like SpaceX I think is to me more
interesting than Tesla for sure, And like it's weird because
he modulates between like having good ideas or trying to

(20:09):
do good things and then also just sort of being
this like profitiered sort of dude. Yeah, and I think
he is maybe good at more than one thing, but
like he's clearly a smart guy. But like he's letting
what he's good at just like make him a complete
asshole and all other things. And like one of the
journalism outlets that he he was like, all right, so actually,

(20:31):
here's some good journalism that like has excellent analysis that
people should check out. And Slate pointed out that it's
a outlet that is tied to a cult, so like
it's like, I think he's just like assuming he's an
expert on some ship that he's just never paid any
attention to and just doesn't know what the funk he's
talking about the next newsletter. Yeah, like they And he's

(20:56):
also dating Rhymes, which is a weird like that, there's
nothing wrong with dating Grimes to objectively, but for some reason,
this relationship just nobody's a fan of it. I think
it's I don't know why. It makes me dislike both
of them so much more. But I've never seen a relationship,

(21:18):
like a celebrity relationship where I was just like, well,
now I don't like either of you. Well you didn't
like Tom Green and Drew Barrymore. No, I loved shipped
them so hard, man. Yeah, I wanted them to last forever. Yeah,
but we all did. We were pouring for them. But yeah,
I don't know. I don't know what it is. Maybe
it's because it suggests that he like thinks he's cool

(21:40):
or like he's trying to be gives him a cool factor.
But then it also makes hard because wasn't it And
let the internet tell us how it started with some
like she got some joke about AI and he was like,
no one has ever gotten that. So it seems to
me like that that whole dynamic is very like I'm
the smart one. And then after it like I'm changing
my name to a lower case C to stay for

(22:01):
the speed of light. And you're like, okay, mom, thank you.
I mean, actually, you know, like I think before all
the Elon musk stands come for us, like I look,
I get his contributions are they're great and you can't
take that away fro him. But also now for him
as being like the front facing person these companies isn't
working out that great because he was doing his like

(22:21):
who you think controls of the media, like little anti
Semitic dog whistling on Twitter? And then like yesterday he
was like trying to be like socialists are so boring, uh,
he said, those who those who proclaimed themselves socialists are
usually depressing, have no sense of humor, and attend and
attended an expensive college. Fate loves irony, and then later
on he's like, by the way, I'm actually socialists just

(22:43):
all the kind of shifts resources from the most productive
to the least productive. So I'm like, okay, so you
see socialism as a zero sum game too, Okay? Yeah.
Do you think he like it was intentionally being I
don't know if he was, it wasn't. He's just not
he doesn't he doesn't understand how nuanced that could be,
and just just picking up the dog whistle and like
blowing on and being like this doesn't making anything. Yeah,

(23:07):
you guys serious, Yeah, there's nothing there. Uh yeah, because yeah,
didn't you say that? Like white supremacists were. Yeah, then
they were like hopping on that bread and they're like
exactly doing this is the thing they're like. And I
think that's when other people were in the there, they're like, Yo,
my man, look what you just did. You just showed
up to your party. But you know whatever, Alright, we're

(23:29):
gonna take a quick break. We'll get to the gaudy
movie after a little Later on in the hour and
we're back and it's time to talk about the thing
that's so depressing. It's hard to talk about and there's

(23:52):
not much to say about it, but we're going to
talk about it because it's happening. Uh, children are being
torn away from their parents when they are coming to
the country, crossing the border seeking asylum. Uh. They you know,
the Trump administration earlier in the spring decided that they

(24:13):
were going to change the policy so that going forward
it was a zero tolerance policy and when a family
came across, the parents would be prosecuted, and in the
past they would be allowed to stay together, and now
they're being separated. Now they're treating it criminally, prosecuting parents

(24:33):
who have kids at the border to basically then exploit
this sort of loophole that says children can't be held
in criminal attention, so then boom, they have to separate them, right,
And that's all pretty much just to detour people and
be as cruel as possible. What do we do? I'm sorry,
I can't hear about any of it without feeling like,

(24:53):
what is the action that can be taken other than retweeting?
You know, I mean, because it does feel like there's
more and more things happen. The question that maccomes, what
can we actually do in a way that it feels
like because the world is obviously so much bigger, so
much more separate, you know, the way we you know,
I don't know. It's like this seems to be the

(25:14):
first thing in a long time that has rallied people
kind of cohesively. You know, the injury Great, Okay, great,
so now we're all on the same page. So now
what we're gonna do? Yeah, where do I take my
pitch for exactly? I mean, it's it's hard because on
one side, do you think that because of all this
public pressure that our representatives in government would do something

(25:36):
about it? But when you look, especially on the Republican side,
there aren't many actual Republicans that are in office who
have said who have really spoken up, or at least
that are in office and aren't retiring. Everybody who's who's
not running for re election got their chests out like
there you know that they're the new Martin Luther King.
But every all the other Republicans, even like Paul Ryan,
was like, oh, I don't like it. But then it

(25:58):
was like the courts have to decide no, no, no, no, no, no,
you need the president can reverse this immediately, like with
a phone call. This one, Lindsay Graham, a Republican said,
is that the president just needs to make a phone
call and they will stop tearing families apart and putting
children in custody. And one of the things that I

(26:18):
saw pointed out over the weekend in an article is
that this does permanent damage. Like they've gone back and
looked at Japanese citizens who are put in internment camps
during World War two and found that they are like
twice as likely to suffer from cardiovascular and you know,
heart disease, and just it's really bad. Died prematurely, died prematurely.

(26:40):
So it's just you know, having these stressful experiences where
you're thrown in prison for reasons that you don't really understand,
or you know, kept in a holding cell, uh four
children where the guards are specifically not allowed to touch
you or pick you up even though you're like in diapers.

(27:02):
That's gonna that's gonna fuck you up right. Well just also, yeah,
like I'm you know, a group of children together, all
of whom are experiencing trauma. What it is to just
be around those kids a lot. You mean, even if
you say you went to your parents at the end
of a day, just that day is enough to you,
let alone the fact that then this is where you
are indefinitely with no explanation. I mean, guys, guys, I

(27:29):
need some fucking pancakes up here. Here Here a struggle sta pictually.
But and it's also not just as you said, you know,
these immediate, uh quantifiable repercussions to the children and their parents.
But then also you know, I think America has told
the rest of the world for a very long time,
we're better than you. You know, we're above you. And

(27:51):
you do something like this and it's like you ain't
gotta like to stand on. You can't be coming up
in here trying to go to other brown countries telling
them how to be head because they're not not like
I mean, from the beginning with right but y we
had we were like, well look at us, you know,
I mean, where the you know, the free world? Yeah
bitch ain't free. Yeah no, he took one from Mark
Marin and he locked the gates. Because what's really disheartening too,

(28:15):
is that, like you say, you would think that there
would be enough people in Congress to be like, Okay,
let's just introduce a bill forget whatever the funk is
going on. Because these people are so their success or
their ability to stay in office is so tied to
not upsetting Donald Trump or that base, especially for Republican
members of Congress, that it's very hard for them to
stick their neck out and try and speak up. Uh.

(28:36):
And when you look around at a lot of the
talking heads that have been going around to defend this policy,
all of these people are speaking like they're describing like
non human situations like and there's there's no acknowledgment of
these people's humanity. For example. Just I mean, let's get
one of the hottest fire takes I think I heard
this weekend was Ann Coulter who was then describing these

(29:00):
children as actors. Uh. This was when she was on
Fox and even the day like the panel she was
on Fox. And when she said that, they started being like,
but I mean, just listen to this. And I would
also say one other thing, these child actors weeping and
crying on all the other networks seven right now, UM,
do not fall for it, Mr President. Um. I get
very nervous about the president News from TV because I

(29:25):
also have an idea of and I don't know if
New Yorker is not a publication they just scribed. I
told you we wouldn't get away. These kids are being
I'm so sorry, we have to go. They're given scripts
to read by liberals. According to The New Yorker, don't
fall okay. They're being given scripts for like what to

(29:48):
say when they get to a judge by themselves and
can't speak English? Yes, right, how to understand the process
right exactly? Not okay when cameras show up, you cry
and act like just act like you've you've been ripped
away from your family, and then try and really drawn
that that's that's your motivation scene, get the funk out
of here to say that, like that's if that's the

(30:09):
mental gymnastics that some of these people are doing, Like yes,
I don't know, I don't know what the funk needs
to happen. Do these people need to go see for themselves.
I mean I doubt any of them have the stomach
to do that. And then and then go on a
show and be like when these kids are actors, Uh,
it's just it's a it's it's just getting worse and worse,
and it's getting more frightened, especially with the rhetoric Trump
has been using to like trying to paint Germany is

(30:31):
like this country gone a muck and he's like these
immigrants have violently changed their culture. Like Yo, this is
really really really dark, dark language, shitty, Like the rhetoric
is very scary to me. And it's like we're approaching
a very very crucial juncture I think, to figure out
like whether it's the politicians or people are going to

(30:54):
have I don't know, are we gonna come together enough
to demonstrate to the representatives that this is unacceptable, that
this is shameful? Well, what this could go down as
a horrible period in our history? Were right, It's like, yeah,
what is the way you come together too? And sort
of the action because I don't know, I don't think
protesting moves the needle and like actually the lever as

(31:15):
the power and the way we kind of hope it will.
So then what can happen? Because I think you're right,
because it is I mean, this is not this is
not rhetoric anymore, right, It's like the actions he's taking
and it's so and it's so rude in the fact
that these are brown children and how the moment you know,
and I mean, look, Trump came out the gate in
wasn't saying all Mexicans you know what you know? I

(31:38):
mean like so and that's the same man. This is
the extension of that initial comments. I'm curious to know,
like even for people who are Trump supporters, what they
would say to this, because I know, you know, there's
clearly that group of people who voted for Trump who
no matter what, they're going to look at this and
say it's fine. And I'm sure there are other people
who because as we've seen and even I've met people

(31:59):
who are like I voted for Roum and I realized
that was a mistake because they were just on some
just not Hillary type ship. So yes, I'm curious to
know if those people can look at that, and you
could if you engage them, if they're going to say, yes,
this is right or whatever, like well, you know, their
parents shouldn't have broken the law. They should have thought
about their kids before they took them on this journey,

(32:19):
this arduous journey they're trying to it's they're trying to
flee violence or abuse or whatever. This isn't just because
the WiFi is too slow, and fucking El Salvador or
some ship there. This is for real. These parents are
not coming here for a vacation. And yes, it's it's
very tough to look at this, especially when you look
at sort of what the White House is endgame is,
because this is what they did with the Dreamers is

(32:40):
just dangled, like literally holding these kids hostages now to
get money for this wall. Well that's the idea, right,
is that their messaging is that the Democrat could make
all this stuff that's bullshit, that's bulls voted for, like
fund his wall exactly. And if any and and anyone
who tells you that the Democrats can undo this ship,
go tell them to fucking go do three not even one.

(33:04):
Like that is so disingenuous when people like when especially
when these talking heads pivot on that, we're like, well,
you know, the Democrats just blah blah blah. No, this
is your White House administration's policy. It's not the law,
and don't start using descriptions like, oh, well it's the law.
It isn't. It's a policy that you've implemented. And they're
saying that they you could get them to stop if

(33:24):
you did this thing, which you know, they're not even
getting full cooperation, right because their bill is sort of like, well,
you've got two options, like basically the not even close
to some kind of a compromise. It's just sort of
like give me my all money, and another one's like, okay,
give me all money, and then maybe we'll allow some
Dreamers to become citizens. But also we're not gonna let

(33:45):
any like the options that are on the table in
terms of what the GOP is offering are both they're
just they're they're non starters. There's nothing in there that
is like any kind of compromise that treats people who
are trying to immigrate into this country with ignitty. Uh.
And it's well, that's why it's right when someone's like,
especially now to try to come here. You ain't coming

(34:07):
here for vacation. You're not like if you coming up
or desperate, you did, right, you know, And then I
just I wonder and I don't know if you guys
found out like are they keeping records of who which
children belong to which adults? I'm like very concerned. Even
if any of this is resolved, it will not be

(34:29):
No one's going to be I mean, it seems like
they must have a decent system, because ye have you
ever been to a damn d m V No, I
don't know. I mean, I'm just saying that because to
even think of that on top to begin speculating about you,
how this can even be worse? No, no, no, not
at all. But to answer your question, A super producer
NIXT stuff in my ear just told me that on
NPR there were people trying to ask that exact question

(34:52):
to like, do you have some kind of number system?
They're like, yeah, we tattoo the number on their risks. Oh,
I'm sorry, that's a different thing. Uh. They basically said
that they no one had actually quite answered the question
on how any kind of reunification would work, or at
least how they were keeping tracking. Not to say that
there isn't a thing, but who knows if they can't
even be like, oh, hi, I'm doing press about this thing,
and I can't even give you a talking point that

(35:12):
would make us look even worse here, it's so disorganized.
The Secretary of Homeland Security says we do not have
a policy of separating families at the border. Period. She
said that over the weekend, I think as Stephen Miller
was basically acknowledging that this is their policy, and he

(35:32):
also said period. So they both ended their sentences in
a declarative way, but they contradict one another. Uh. There's
also a report from the Boston Globe who got inside
one of these holding facilities for children and said that
the method they have for separating the children from their

(35:55):
parents because they got tired of like literally like pulling
the child who was clinging to So what they would
do now is they tell them, we need to take
your child to bathe them. Uh we you know, just
it'll be very quick. And then when they take a
child away a couple hours later, the person realizes that

(36:16):
they're not bringing the child back. So that's the sort
of ship they're doing. And I mean, it does seem
like public opinion is basically these Republican congress people and
the administration are the only people who think this is cool,
like because there's been a lot of you know, like
Laura Bush has something to say there forget who it

(36:39):
was somewhere from the CIA was like getting it to
the Holocaust. I mean, there's definitely a lot of people
on the right who are very vocal in that they
don't approve of this and think it's shameful and immoral,
but they're not enough people who are actually have the
votes to do it or to actually put the sort
of legislative pressure on the president, because clearly public pressure
that means funk all to this administration. I mean we've

(36:59):
seen that and again based on I mean, look Scott
pruittt is still the head of the e p A. Um. Yeah,
and again this is just they're they're using human lives
as bargaining chips in their legislative process because it's they
just want this, you know this there, he just wants
his wall because he overpromised on this thing and most
people don't want it. And if even listen, like Kelly

(37:20):
and Conway was on on the Sunday shows too, kind
of doing the same thing like half confirming that it
was a policy, but then also kind of half admitting
that maybe these people are being used as bargaining chips.
And just to sort of listening to this back and forth, Um,
is the President ready to make that phone call to
the Attorney General the DHS to stop this policic? The

(37:42):
President is ready to get meaningful immigration reform across the board,
and Chuck, let me just tell you that nobody likes
seeing babies ripped from their mother's arms, off from their
mother's wombs, frankly, but we have to make sure that
dhs is laws are understood through the SoundBite culture that
we live in. There are three circumstances by which DHS

(38:03):
evaluates a child at the border. One is does this
child actually have a custodio or familiar relationship with the adult?
Number two is a child in any danger? And plenty
have been over time. Some adults are using children to
gain access to the border. Why use these kids as leverage? Well,
I certainly don't want anybody to use these kids as leverage.
I saw a headline that breathless screamed as much, and

(38:25):
I object to that very forcefully. Let me say this,
these children that are in fairness. By the way, it
was a White House official that told the washing. I
like to know who the thinking and the building is
to force people to the table, by the way, I
want that person to say it to my face, I
really do. I'll meet them at the White House today
because I think that's a disgrace that person to be fired.
Should that person be fired, fired that person should have

(38:45):
the guts to come forward and put their name to
that quote. Cool pivot to suddenly like, all right, should
meet me outside. The real problem with this is leaks.
There's too many. Yeah, that's that's what we need. And
do you see how she really like when she's like, well,
I don't think I certainly don't want to see these
people use the leverage, and he was like somebody at

(39:06):
the White House and they've been using leverage. And then
it was like tell me who, Yeah, who told you that?
It's not It's never a good defense. It just makes
you look guilty. I can't remember a time when just
an outright evil was happening, and you know, people just

(39:27):
felt this hopeless as to like, so what do you do?
Do you call your congress person? Do we done that?
Start laying down in front of the fucking busses as
they bring children like away from their parents, Like what
do you what do you actually do? Like, first of all,
if Jeff Sessions and Steven Miller can safely walk down
the street after this, like people should be throwing something

(39:50):
at them, I'll say paint and food, uh, pies, pies, Yeah,
they don't ship or one of those pie from the helps, Okay,
those that's fine. Yeah. And also it's just on the
policy front. It's worth noting that Trump vetoed a bill
that basically had all the ship that he was asking for.

(40:12):
It had money for the wall, it had you know,
the lottery thing that he's worried about. But you know,
he has Steven Miller running this thing, and Steven Miller
is specifically just pushing it further and further because he
doesn't think that there should be any immigrant like. He
wants to change it so that what is currently legal

(40:32):
for immigration is no longer legal and that you basically
have to marry into the country. That's pretty I think
that's a fantasy version. Yeah, you want to be Mary American,
but don't look at this place as a bastion of freedom.
But also marrying American, like be Melania. Do you know
what I mean? They're not looking again. They don't want
brown people, not from shiphole countries. No, you know what

(40:55):
I mean. If you want to come from nor but
nobody want to come from Norway because they got it
together over there by the way. Norway the one place
that's been statistically proven. People know. I like talking about
the Flynn effect. The Flynn effect has gone backwards. It's
sliding back in Norway. Their kids today are dumber than
their kids twenty years ago. So, uh, that that's who
we want people from. Come on, Trump, Norways sucks, am

(41:18):
I right? Everyone we hate Norway on this podcast. I'm
totally on board here. There is a bill currently gathering
support right in Congress. Yeah, Diane f Einstein has a
bill in the Senate right now that just needs just
a little bit I think, like just one or two

(41:39):
Republican votes. But it would stop this practice. It would
end the practice. It's fully meant to stop this, this
ridiculous practice of of separating families. Like you would just
be like, no, this, this isn't going down like that. Um.
And there are people like Susan Collins who she was
even like, They're like, well, why don't what are you
trying to do? And she's like, oh, I support this
bipartisan thing and it's not it's not even close to

(42:02):
being humane. Um. And yes, if Paul and Ryan actually cared,
then he would introduce a similar bill in the House.
Uh that to Diane Feinstein's bill. But let's let's just
be real Republicans literally don't care, not one of them.
That's why none of them are speaking out. That's why
everyone's got their heads low and trying to figure out
what to do. And these are the people who are

(42:23):
causing all of this chaos because they don't know whether
they if their loyalty is to this insane person who
is running who's the president, or to morality or what
the values. But I right, like now it's like so
obvious that the Republican Party is about just whatever Trump
wants exactly, but also like just it's about the wealthy

(42:45):
having power and if you are not wealthy, you are
not a valuable person. And they like and I feel
like in a lot of ways we've seen that now, right,
you can't pretend, you know, they rest in the Lord.
I was like, I think it's so funny the way
they'll like to like call back to me like we're
the ones who freed the slave. And it's always like, okay, match,
you can be claiming some stuff from two hundred years ago,
you know what I mean. That's like me being like, okay,

(43:06):
I am very fit because Harriet Tubman people to the
underground railroad. I can walk a mile and that's why
and that's why I'm not paying for this amtrak. Yeah,
I mean yeah, it's like pulling up in an old
eighties Mercedes and being like, yeah, I was doing good.
So yeah, And yes, there are people like Lindsay Graham
who are vocal about saying this isn't right, and I'll

(43:29):
talk to the president. But you know that that's just words.
I'm not seeing you see supporting the bill in the Senate.
Lindsay Graham is not supporting the fine stand build. There's
no no Republicans are. Every Senate Democrat is a co
sponsored the bill. And so basically he's just giving a
quote about the optics and don't and don't get it twisted.
Because this bill that the House will be voting on

(43:51):
this week, I think they're gonna be voting on it
this week. That's just for optics too, for those Republicans
to be like, well we tried. The Democrats just didn't
want to do anything about it, right, And that's that's
not what this is. So again they're just trying to
set up the just all the optics for this to
be like, well they tried. Democrats are obstructionists, but you know,
please arm yourself with the fact about So what is

(44:12):
the House bill that they're trying to pass, what's that
going to be? Like, why is that not a nonstarter?
Because it's basically just the lottery would be ended, your
ability to bring family members over or what they liked
called chain migration, which is a shitty way to describe it.
They want to end that completely. It's basically just the
most drekkonian version of immigration reform with really no concessions

(44:34):
to what to what progressives want, and it would just
free these children. Right. Well, then there's other things that
we're like, oh, well you know that, like you know,
we're addressing the family separation thing, but like really, on
a technicality, it does not actually end that practice. It
just sort of allows them to indefinitely, uh whole detain

(44:55):
like immigrant families. It's it's the whole thing is just
a show. And so that's why people like on the
leadership on the Democrats side of like, you do not
vote for this, Like this is not this this is
this is an empty gesture from them to try and
I don't know, make it look like they're doing something
for the mid terms. Right Alright, So Miles, what will
post the link to where people can find out like

(45:16):
specifically actions to take. Yeah, there are, but again, I
know what you to sort of speak to the hopelessness
that nobody's talking about it. It almost feels like how
many times can I leave a voicemail? How many times
can I speak to some person that is uh like
is running the office of a senator or congress person?
How much money can I give to the A C

(45:37):
L You before you're kind of like, you're like, but
this isn't doing the thing, And that's sort of what's
good is that people are getting in touch with the
frustration of being like, well, how the fuck is anything
going to change? And yeah, I think you know, as
this sort of practice continues, you'll see more things like
they're in Texas, there were marches for people going to

(45:58):
these immigration centers to try and you know, demand that
they end this policy. That there are there are actions
to get into physical space. But again also the thing
to think about too, At the very least, you must
fucking vote in November. You have to vote, and if this,
if this really is an issue to you, talk to
the people that you are thinking about voting for and

(46:18):
try and understand where they're coming from on this. On
this issue, because I'm telling you a lot of moderates
will also be like, well, I don't know. And see,
those are the people to who are actually making this
situation worse because they're so worried about the voting demographics
in their district. They can't just stand on on something
that is so objectively right and wrong and just be like, no,

(46:38):
this is bullshit. I don't care if they're they're like
my district went read or whatever. People have to really
begin advocating for just human beings and what the country
just stands for and yeah, alright, we'll see what we
can do. Yeah. Otherwise, just you know, we might have
to just start farting on these people in public. Yeah,

(46:59):
you're not parting on people? Ready, Well I save mine? Yeah,
build up, all right, we're gonna take another quick break.
We'll be right back, and we're back. And so this
weekend in Texas, I guess Ted Cruise and Jimmy Kimmel

(47:23):
uh just kind of disrespected the sport of basketball for
two hours. Um, they tried to play a game of
one on one to fifteen where he had to win
by two, and after two hours they got to eleven
to nine and we're like, sorry, we give up. Sorry,

(47:43):
we're old and should not have ever even been playing basketball.
But wait, why would it take two hours to get
to eleven because they're so bad? That's called Yeah, I
mean like playing one on one basketball, like usually just
go go to eleven, you know, go to fifty, you
go to fifteen. If if it's like Jordan Verse is
Lebron or something like that, like you or you know,
people have the energy. I'm telling you, maybe there were

(48:05):
two baskets scored off dribble drives. I don't even think
Jimmy Kimmel has it left or right hand to dribble
Like dribble drive sounds cute and fat, yeah it does,
but I think at the end it was just two
gassed up dudes basically freak dancing in the post and
just sweating all of each other, like heaving. Apparently the
highlight package will be aired tonight on Kimmel, so we'll see.

(48:25):
I mean I have to see because one of the
quotes someone just described it literally as a car crash
and slow motion or yeah, shame on both of them,
but at least they did it for for charity. Yeah,
so it wasn't just like a total partisan you know,
tiny dick people witnessed this though. There was like an
audience of people who had to sit through two hours

(48:48):
of this. Yeah, no one, no one wins, and I
think they weren't allowed to leave. I think many people
tried to leave at the ninety minute mark and they
were like, no, you gotta stay see through. This is
a taping. You can't leave. I'm sorry, did the producer
let you go? A true statement about our immigration policy

(49:08):
is that this was not the worst thing happening in
Texas this weekend. Amazingly. Uh. Movie Pass, the controversial service
where you get a weekly subscription for the price of
a movie ticket and then can go see all the movies. Uh.
So basically it doesn't make any financial sense except for

(49:29):
the fact that they're you know, watching you their surveillance
company essentially, but they'd deal despite Yeah, it's you're just
how much are you willing to you know, give away
of your of your own privacy. So uh, for the
first time in there I think history, they basically bankrolled

(49:53):
a movie that came out this weekend. Um, it was
not The Incredibles too. It was a movie if you
look right below The Incredibles two on the box office charts.
You know, Incredibles two made a hundred and eighty million
dollars and just below that at number twelve, behind behind

(50:15):
both book Club, which is a movie about Diane Keaton
reading fifty Shades of Gray, and that's a movie. Yeah,
that's it's the greatest crossover event in history. It's about
a book club that red and then like, you know,
things happen and then old people go in their bedrooms
and like, why don't we try this? Uh? And also

(50:37):
also behind a Wrinkling Time, which was a movie that
didn't do great when it first came out, is now
out on video was released in March, and that came
in eleventh down at number twelve. Gattie starring John Travolta, uh,
bankrolled by Movie Pass and just advertised to people who

(51:00):
use movie Pass and have movie passed because they apparently,
you know, tried to do the Netflix thing and like
look at user behavior and they were like, oh, you
know what, they're gonna like a terrible, terrible, worst ever
mob movie starring John Travolta. UM with a history so
fucked up. No person in their right mind, especially on

(51:21):
an investors side, would be like Oh yeah, I want
to get on that right right. I don't get how
they thought that was gonna appeal to any like a
wide audience. Well, first, Jack, talk about the sort of
arc of the development this film, because when I was
reading through this, it sounds like a disaster from the beginning.
So Travolta has wanted to make this movie. Apparently he
like looked in the mirror, did a gaudy impression and

(51:42):
was like Oscar Baby, and so he, uh for ten years,
has been trying to get this made. And first he
was working with a producer named Mark Fiore, who ended
up being a scam artist who went to prison. And
then you know, at a certain point, Lindsay Lohan and

(52:03):
Joe Pesci were attached. I remember that, and it was
even like too funked up for them. It was like
they were both like, now we're out, I'm gonna open
hotel instead something more. See what she needed that she
would have stayed on. I think they were like, what's up,
what's your new accent in the Middle East officer. Then, uh,
once that guy was in prison, the first producer, they

(52:26):
tried to get another guy, who uh was I guess
an Irish real estate magnate who invested one point eight
million dollars. Uh, and it's been such a disaster that
his lawyer has publicly said his client will no longer
invest in movies. Uh, like already he's just like Yeah.

(52:47):
So Barry Levinson was supposed to direct at first Rainman,
Good Morning Vietnam. Great director. He backed the funk out,
and the production eventually hired. Uh. One of the guys
from Entourage. No, not one of the directors of Entourage
episodes E from Entourage directed the movie. Uh. It's appropriate

(53:11):
because it's starting to look like the fucking meta Yane
film that they were trying to make an Entourage, which
was from the beginning trade up Passion project. That Uh.
The story, which obviously takes place in New York, shot
in lovely Cincinnati, which, as everyone knows, totally doubles for

(53:33):
Just paint a couple of these cars yellow contact I
have a drive by he stuck through all of this. Uh.
The movie is at a extremely rare zero percent tomatoes.
Not his first zero is pulling a zero percent. Yeah,
he's done a zero before, right, Yeah. I think he
got one for I think Battlefield Earth, Battlefield based Yeah,

(53:57):
and that was also a Passion project that ended it
up with John Travolta funding a lot of it with
his own money and this as well, which like, at
this point, my man like, if you are funding a
project with your own money, that means that you should
not be making that project exactly. Wait, so is anyone
else in it that we know? And God is it
just John Travolta? And then it's a bunch of day

(54:19):
players and I believe it's the latter. Um So in
at the end movie pass get some you know, tracking
data that says our viewers like John Travolta and like
mob movies, and we're just like, well, Netflix does this
sort of money ball ship with movies. Let's do it ourselves.
And didn't bother to look at what was happening with

(54:42):
the movie because they invested seven figures. Uh low, seven
figures but still seven figures. Uh. And part of their
deal apparently involved putting the movie past logo on the
side of John Travolta's private plane because there's just a
movie past logo on his plane now for summer. Uh.
But yeah, it's funny. Uh naw me, you're asking who

(55:05):
is in it? And I mean Honestly, I just looked
at sort of the cast on IMDBU and it's and
it's an actual who's who actors. I mean, fucking his
own wife had to be in it, Kelly Preston. That's
when you know he's like, hey, I know Lindsey Lohan's
play supposed to play this part, Kelly Preston. Can you
she was to play Victoria Gotti? Wow? Who I mean,
let's be growing up. Gotti was a great show in

(55:27):
my opinion, But yeah, Kelly Preston had to step up
because Lindsay Lohan, I mean, for whatever reason, can do it.
But yeah, good for you, guys. Kelly Preston is a
young Lindsay Lohan. Yeah, they Yeah, I guess they really
just wanted to see, though, if they could just flex
up and see, like, Okay, if we get involved in
a movie, how many bodies can we just put into

(55:50):
the seats? Do you think they got their answer? But
do you think movie paths probably do that thing where
like can you need to be like right in front
of the theater? Basically in order to get your ticket,
you have to be like close to the theater to
get something that they just made us that you can
only buy a ticket to God. I'm kind of see
incredible to right, only gott he is coming out. A
Wrinkle in Time is also sold out. That's crazy. I'm

(56:12):
pretty sure it came out literally thirty weeks ago. Everything
sold out. Sorry, but yeah, So it ended up making
one point six seven million dollars cost ten million. Uh
movie Pass accounted for of the audience, which is that's
pretty good. Yeah, that's a lot of the audience. But
that's also not the best way to demonstrate that you

(56:33):
have the power to get in the seats by getting
involved with such a garbage movie. And another way to
read this is that almost half of the tickets for
Gotti were paid for by the people who made Gotti
because it is not profitable. The whole idea is that
they're just using this as a marketing tool. Uh so shit, Um,

(56:54):
well we'll see, we'll see if movie Pass can you know,
pull it together. But maybe you're first production should not
be last minute. We're going to invest some figures in
the movie. Uh that everybody has been running away from
like it was a literal ship had to beg the
people in can to show it. There's bad taste. I

(57:15):
do think it just bad. It could be it. They
have to accept that. Eventually that logo on John Travolta's
plane is going to pay off though, you know, like
somebody's gonna see that, and you know it's it's all
coming together. So there was actual seismic activity that was
sensed by the sensors in Mexico over the weekend. Over

(57:37):
the weekend, what was going uh and this is your
World Cup dage oh ship, Yes, I love that drop.
Oh my goodness. Yes, yes, actual seismic activity. Seismic activity
artificially triggered by people just losing their fucking mind. When

(57:59):
Mexico co score a goal against Germany to go up
one nothing and that would be the final score, Mexico
stunned Germany. Yes, but when you watch them play though,
was not that stunning because Mexico was fucking they were
ready to play in. Germany looked like every past winner

(58:19):
going into the tournament, like the last three tournaments, like
when when Italy one, they looked awful coming into the
next World Cup, when Spain won, they looked awful in
the last World Cup. And now you have Germany who
like didn't look like awful awful, but they looked awful
by their own standards. So why what do you think happens?
Do you think like after they win the whole time,
I don't know, just you get a hangover from or you.

(58:42):
I think he's become very complacent. Probably, It's probably the
biggest explanation is sort of like, hey, man, well let's
just do it again, babe, like we did last time.
But it's been four years exactly, like it's four years.
You gotta get back into it. Yeah, Riley has this
whole thing. He's, of course the guy who you know,
coined the term three pet and if you like put

(59:04):
three pet on a shirt, you have to like pay
that an asshole. But he has all this, like he's
written a book about the psychology of repeating as champion,
and just like how you get this idea of I
think he calls it like the disease of more, where
everybody like expects more, and you know, they also feel
pressure from their fans to like bring more because everybody's

(59:26):
like kind of over it a little bit, and so
it's just like an unhealthy psychological, uh you know situation.
I mean, these people are definitely I mean I feel
like all the World Cup is one thing where you'd
imagine every player who's getting in there wants to play there. Right,
it's not over it, but uh, there was a lack
one on this weekend and I'm just gonna go really quickly.

(59:48):
Christian Ronaldo. He I don't know, he's the one man
wrecking team. They played an amazing game against Spain on Friday. Uh,
he looks pretty good and maybe you know, after seeing that,
he's just sort of put the well, I don't know.
He to me, he's not the goat, but he's definitely
in that conversation. If he can win a World Cup.
And also if you consider the fact that he's like
been winning champions leagues like mad just won the euro Cup, uh,

(01:00:11):
and could possibly do something with the World Cup. He
would be doing that all on in his thirties. So
you know what, shout out to you for making me
feel really that pretty unusual. Yeah, I mean, I mean
usually your physical peak of when you're playing football soccer
is like around twenty six to eight. So if you're
still doing it after that age, that's impressive. And he
put the team upon his back. I think my soccer

(01:00:31):
peak is still ahead of me. But yeah, no, I
mean I've seen you do some keep up. You're looking good.
Uh yeah, yeah, yeah, yes, games are darling. Let's see.
Brazil looked a little flat too, but I mean it's
still early. As Annajosnier's dad would say, they aren't what
they used to be, and I guess there's something to

(01:00:52):
say about that. Uh. Nigeria, man, I was really I
was really pulling for Nigeria and I still am because
I love I love Nigeria, love Nigerian culture. I love
the players. Uh they looked really bad. They look terrible,
but most of the it's so funny. Everyone's been so
obsessed with their uniforms because it's by far been the

(01:01:13):
most popular, like garment you could purchase right now on
the internet, like they Nike can't keep it on the
shelves because they're beautiful garments. But then you do a
little bit to nothing, right, yeah, they it was just
it was not a good I mean, this is the
one match that I was actually paying attention to other
than the Mexico Germany game because you know, you told
me how cool their clothes were and young squad. But

(01:01:36):
also Croatia has a team to like they have they
have a squad so, I mean, Nigeria was kind of
one of those teams where people were like hopeful, not knowing,
like may maybe they And right now it's looking a
little bit like it was the first game. It was
their first They played two more games. Okay, so everyone
gets to do three three games, three games in a
group with three other teams, and everybody plays each other

(01:01:57):
once once and then like if you lose, you get
zero points. If you draw, you get one point, and
if you win you get two points. No, you get three.
Uh and okay you get three. If you win, you
get three points. Over here exactly by the way that
you were completely right about the Fox coverage of this

(01:02:19):
too aggressive super producer Nick Stump send us a quote
from Alexei Lawless where he was like, uh, Mexico really
needs to bring some American badass if you will, I
will not. Okay, washed up dude who just needs to
stop talking, But yeah, I can't take all those brown
people on one screen. He Alexei laws looked a little

(01:02:41):
on like, I mean, he was trying to do his
best to be like, hey man, Mexico is really doing it.
I know part of him must feel so angry that
the U s couldn't even make it. Mexico just outplayed
the World Cup champions. So this is something I didn't
know that America Mexico are rivals in soccer. You did
not know this, Jack, I didn't. Oh, come on, no
know what the game. I was rooting for Mexico the

(01:03:02):
whole time. Yeah, well, not that you have to root
against them by virtue of being American. I'm more for
Mexico than Germany. I mean, I mean, I loved I
what I saw. I was like, Yo, Mexico, better do this,
because shame on a team for pulling up with that
low energy for the for the World Cup. Um. But yes, uh,
France Man, they barely scooted by Australia. They need some

(01:03:23):
waking up to do. I like Peru, they look good.
They look kind of good. Uh. And also the Belgium
they did all right against South Korea. But really, guys, Iceland,
Oh my goodness, I stand Iceland. Yes, they're the most
overachieving team in this tournament. It's unbelievable that they drew
with Messi's Argentina Like Landel Messi. Everyone's like he's the

(01:03:44):
best player on the planet right now. Uh. And they
held him off. Their goalkeeper was like a part time
documentarian and like the smallest country to ever make it. Yeah,
the smallest, yeah uh. And you should see also just
if anything, for their fans, they do the Viking clap
and that's how they like cheer in the stadium and
it's intense. I love it, um And I ran first

(01:04:05):
place in their bracket, in their h in their group,
yeah group. Yeah. So I mean, look out bad weekend
for like, you know, jingoistic Americans. I feel like Iran
was whooping as Mexico. Good. That's what you get, right.
That's also shout out to Panama first time in the tournament.
And I got emotional watching them because you could tell

(01:04:25):
all the guys who were like doing when they're hearing
their own national anthem were like in tears because they've
never been in the tournament and it's a moment to
be representing your country and hear your national anthem played,
and man, they you could tell it means a lot
to them. They were going wild in Panama. So, you know,
shout out to you guys. I hope you guys, you know,
do something you didn't you didn't win today. But how long?

(01:04:46):
How long is it how long is the cut, how
many days, how many weeks it's going on? I thought
a win was worth two points? Now only what then
do I you have time? I mean there are games
pretty much there every day until we get out of
the knockout rounds. But yeah, the final isn't until July
fIF My mom was a soccer fan like I. I
was thinking. I was like, oh, I haven't remember my
mother this week, and then it was the work up

(01:05:08):
and I was like, oh, yeah, she'd do her thing, mider.
She ain't taking a call. It's like that. Um, And
now in honor of Father's Day, I have to do
a sports update for Dad's How about those greens that
the US Open? Guys really fast? I mean lefty out
there trying to put on those things. It was like
ice all right? That was the the dead sports update.

(01:05:33):
I almost felt like I needed to watch the US Open, yeah,
because it was like that's all my dad would do
on Father's Day. And it was like one of the
first Father's Day I've had with kids, And I was like,
what then am I supposed to do? But I didn't
because yeah, well, I mean the one highlight from the
U s Open was probably the what the microphones caught of,

(01:05:54):
like the guys talking around the teeth like yeah, straight up,
like some dude like sound that's my guy was like, dude,
I was banging so hard we head budded. That was
in the of the U s open. So if you're
like watching, like hold on, what am I hearing in
the background, he was like, yeah, hearing Tiger Woods inner
monolog someone. Yeah, someone said literally something about He was

(01:06:15):
like yeah. Then then she got in the muppet position
from like thee I'm shocked that isn't one of the
Google trends from the weekend. People's position MUTI, uh yeah,
I think it's your hand up. Oh no, oh no, sorry,

(01:06:36):
