the room, take off his shirt and in one motion.

Speaker 2 (07:29):
I am from Seattle.

Speaker 4 (07:30):
That's right, Seattle, And for whatever reason, the fireworks here
are fucked up.

Speaker 2 (07:35):
It is it is a war zone here. It really
gets like Yeah, it's like all night long. And I
think it's because there we have I think we have
more lax laws in Washington.

Speaker 3 (07:45):
Place you do. I was going to say, like Blue
states typically don't always have the best fire world. I mean,
it's really just California.

Speaker 4 (07:51):
We got some, but I'm not sure about it. I'm
not sure, but that is my guess is it's going
to be sure.

Speaker 3 (07:57):
Stuff is coming in from eastern Washington. That's it's always
the east side of those those Pacific Northwest states. It's
like the boom, that's right. I have Wow, I never
even call. Oh. We were talking about this the other day.
I was like, Seattle rappers, Sir mix a Lot Maclamore,
what's another one? Who were the big three? Who? Who else? Do?

(08:20):
Who else is? I didn't even know Sir mix a
Lot was from Seattle. Is very own.

Speaker 4 (08:25):
I have a friend who's named Greeves who is a rapper.
I don't know if you would have heard of him.
Yeah from here?

Speaker 2 (08:31):
Yeah, Grieves griefs yeah, I'm your name.

Speaker 3 (08:35):
Right, I was telling you. I forget who I was
telling Maybe it was justin but yeah, Seattle. Great music scene.
I gotta say, unbelievable music scene Seattle.

Speaker 1 (08:46):
Every time I've been I always leave the city of
like Seattle's right, that's nice enjoying my time at Seattle.

Speaker 3 (08:53):
You know what I forgot about you? Seattle? Thank you?

Speaker 2 (08:57):
I like to forget about you know.

Speaker 3 (08:59):
Sure, sure, sure, I get that well, Chelsea, thank you
for joining us. We're gonna just touch quickly on some
of the things are gonna be talking about. A new
Minions movie has come out, so again we do have
to ask were they working for Hitler. Don't fucking don't
fucking dance around the topic, just be straight up with us,
because you talk about how they've worked for the most
evil people. Canonically, they've worked for the most evil people

(09:20):
in history. So that question has sprung up again. We
will just check in obviously because we are on fourth
of July eve for we just got to check the
Great American Shit Show or Great American State Fair two
fifty whatever, that grift that's happening in DC, because there's
just some it's it's it's not going well, and Trump
seems to be upset by that, upset by that. Also, Chelsea,

(09:42):
you're here. You love a bit of hysteria, and there's
there's nothing better than to see what's happening in a
Baptist church in Kentucky for how they're trying to terrify
their youth. So we're gonna wait, yeah, we're gonna touch
touch on a clip we saw from a Kentucky Baptist
church and the pastors, So what defense of it? That's
more just confirmation of yeah, yeah, we did that, and

(10:05):
that We'll talk about the air conditioning culture wars because
they're here now. It's now woke to be worried about
the grid or something that would prevent everyone from using
air conditioning. We'll talk about all that and plenty more
in addition to what is socialism? But first, Chelsea, what

(10:25):
is something from your search history that's revealing about who
you are, what you're into?

Speaker 4 (10:29):
You know, there's so many choices, So my search history,
I'm going to go with just fireworks in general, because
I've been really I just did an episode about the
history of fireworks at two part episode with Sarah Marshall
from You're Wrong About oh.

Speaker 2 (10:46):
I think would be fun too. I just wanted to
share one little part since I know we'll be talking about.

Speaker 4 (10:52):
Fireworks, and this was just kind of what we did
before fire works became the main way to celebrate, uh,
you know, the fourth of July. So this came in
the Uh this is from the book Firecrackers, and I
think it's worth uh this, this is very cartoonish kind

(11:13):
of a thing we did, but it says a blacksmith's
anvil was placed on the ground and a bag of
gunpowder with a fuse was placed on top of it. Finally,
another anvil was placed upside down on top of the bag,
the fuse was lit, and everybody scattered. This was to
be avoid This was to avoid being crushed like a
cartoon character. Because the top anvil was propelled into the

(11:35):
air before returning heavily to the ground. It was said
you could hear the sound of a good anvil shoot
for miles in all directions. And this was, you know,
kind of the eighteen hundred's time.

Speaker 3 (11:45):
Wait, people were launching, launching fucking animals into the air
and be like.

Speaker 4 (11:53):
Yeah, and we were like happy Birthday America, Like don't
get fucking crushed into an accordion, like I'd be like
bugs by yeah, and so like fireworks by comparison, seemed
like a safe option.

Speaker 3 (12:05):
Right right? Holy wow? Yeah now yeah, see it's just
so funny, like so many of like our pastimes are
just like how can we kill ourselves in the dumbest
way possible for fun?

Speaker 2 (12:18):
Yeah, And it just used to be shoot your guns
in the air all day too.

Speaker 4 (12:21):
It's just all day it was, you know, fireworks and
vill explosions and yeah yeah.

Speaker 1 (12:28):
Also I know they exist, but have you ever seen
an anvil in real life?

Speaker 5 (12:34):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (12:34):
Yeah? I Like when I went to Colonial Jamestown, I.

Speaker 2 (12:38):
Was gonna say, like, only.

Speaker 3 (12:43):
I've only seen them on looney tunes. Yeah, like we're
all picturing the same thing. That's I got that that
exact shape. Also, who lifted the other? And how many
people did take to lift that? I mean, I guess
maybe it's not that heavy, Like in my mind, I'm like,
how could people lift an n villain?

Speaker 4 (12:58):
I mean probably, I feel like it's probably pretty heavy.

Speaker 3 (13:02):
Used to fuck Wiley up. He used to fuck wilely
yeah yeah.

Speaker 2 (13:05):
Yeah wow, and yet he prevailed.

Speaker 3 (13:09):
Yeah every time. And now we'll merely just be setting
off eight hundred and fifty thousand fireworks at once. Yeah,
so we'll see.

Speaker 2 (13:16):
What the world record.

Speaker 4 (13:18):
Yeah, I'm really thinking it's going to be another cartoonish
thing where like a fuse is lit really far away
and everyone watches it burn up all the way until
it gets to the to the show, and then.

Speaker 2 (13:28):
It just stops and nothing happens.

Speaker 3 (13:30):
It'd yeah, and then it would be funny.

Speaker 1 (13:34):
You remember that clip of it was probably a Fourth
of July or some celebration where they accidentally set off
all the fireworks the one time. Yeah, like that would
be probably the funniest thing in America history.

Speaker 3 (13:49):
They're like, it's meant tolize forty fucking minutes. Wow. If
they're like that shit went for forty five seconds, it
was a disaster.

Speaker 2 (13:59):
Eight hundred fifty thousand.

Speaker 3 (14:00):
Fact a world record, fucking world record.

Speaker 2 (14:04):
Something's gonna go wrong. I just feel like it's at
eleven pm.

Speaker 3 (14:09):
Yeah, we were saying it on the Trending episode. I'm like,
they can't even book Milli Vanilli for a concert or
clean up the algae in a pool, and you want
to set off damn near a million fireworks. Okay, although
they'll probably they probably I'm sure the company doing it
probably has their shit together, although who fucking knows, probably
another grift Chelsea, what some of you think is underrated?

Speaker 4 (14:30):
I said, this is going to shock you reading the
whole Bible, which I'm doing right now.

Speaker 2 (14:37):
Do you cover to cover Bible?

Speaker 5 (14:39):
Man?

Speaker 2 (14:39):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (14:40):
And it's like it's a lot more entertaining than I expected,
because it's so like much more batshit than the like
the selective little stories that we hear every time I
like I'm listening to it, which is like I have
this kind of booming, theatrical God voice reading it to me.

Speaker 3 (14:55):
Is it Morgan?

Speaker 2 (14:57):
What's up?

Speaker 3 (14:58):
Is it Morgan Freeman?

Speaker 2 (15:00):
That would be better? It's I don't know who does
some white guy but he is.

Speaker 3 (15:04):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (15:05):
It's just really every time I take my headphones off,
I'm usually walking with my girlfriend and I give her
like the the download in my own gay words, right,
just like and then he did this and God is
such a fucking asshole.

Speaker 2 (15:18):
It's like it is like it's shocking. It's a shocking book.

Speaker 3 (15:22):
Yeah, are you acts yet? Are you in the new?

Speaker 2 (15:24):
Yah?

Speaker 4 (15:25):
I'm past acts, I'm I'm in. I'm like more than
halfway done at this point. So I'm not into the
New Testament. I'm still in like the really good horror
area of.

Speaker 3 (15:36):
The Old Testament.

Speaker 1 (15:37):
New Testament is also can be a little wild but
crazy is sorry.

Speaker 3 (15:43):
I hate to say the Acts is in the New Testament.

Speaker 2 (15:45):
No Old Testament, isn't.

Speaker 3 (15:47):
It Matthew Mark Luke, John Acts Romans.

Speaker 2 (15:50):
Okay, maybe you're right, yeah, yeah, well then I am
not talking about what.

Speaker 3 (15:56):
This is somebody in the Old Testament.

Speaker 2 (15:59):
Yeah yeah, okay, so we have I think it might
be in Okay, it quotes the Old Testament. All right,
all right, we got it.

Speaker 3 (16:07):
But poetry, please, Yes, the Bible. And here's the thing.

Speaker 1 (16:13):
Here is the Bible as somebody who grew up in
a religious household and has gone to Bible school before
at church and everything like that when I was young,
and uh, the Bible is a it's a fucking story book.
And it is the most successful book of all time
really uh as far as you know, a book of fiction.

Speaker 3 (16:37):
But like it is, it is historical, historical fiction.

Speaker 1 (16:42):
It does have some really great like you know, like
just like little ditties as far as like, oh this
is as a good person, this seems like this is
pretty good. But the stories in the Bible are man.
We used to watch all the stories they would make
like little TV shows. Keep the Bible story TV show.
It would be crazy. The saw wouldn't used to get

(17:03):
me though, man, because that's that's that's true, Petty got
It's like, YO, leave this place you've known for the
rest of your life, and if you take one peek
back at the only home you ever know, I'm gonna
turn you in assault.

Speaker 3 (17:16):
That's Patty.

Speaker 2 (17:18):
What shocked me was that Moses didn't get to go
to the Promised Land. God kept him out because he
made one little mistake that still we don't even actually
know what specific mistake he made.

Speaker 4 (17:29):
He made him fucking die looking at the Promised Land
like he was like, you can see it, but you
can't go in because maybe you struck your staff on
a rock in.

Speaker 2 (17:40):
A way that I didn't like, you know, I was.
I was like, no, you can't do this.

Speaker 3 (17:45):
Noah did.

Speaker 1 (17:47):
Noah built a boat and you know one BC and.

Speaker 3 (17:52):
One that's structurally implausible, but yet he made it. I
love it. Telse what some of you think is overrated.

Speaker 2 (18:00):
Skipping your high school reunion bay Mine is in two
weeks and I'm going hell yeah. But everyone I tell
is like, why are you?

Speaker 3 (18:09):
Why Matt? How people go terrible? I get how many
do it? Do you mind if I ask how many years?

Speaker 2 (18:16):
No, you can't ask. Okay, Okay, that's the woman.

Speaker 3 (18:21):
Yeah, that's a good one to go to.

Speaker 2 (18:22):
I know.

Speaker 3 (18:23):
I went to mine and it was like I did, yeah,
because I'm like I went to my ten year reunion
and I went to the twenty year less people came
to the there's a huge fall off actually between twenty
and ten and twenty interesting. Yeah, but twenty some of
it was kind of kind of it was more because
like ten was sort of like everyone's kind of you know,
they're like in their late twenties and shit, so you're
kind of young and you still feel like, yeah, yeah,

(18:45):
so much as possible. By the twentieth one, I was like, Okay,
now I see what kind of adults we've all become.

Speaker 2 (18:51):
People have settled into whatever their bullshit.

Speaker 3 (18:54):
Yeah yeah, yeah. One kid of mine got so drunk
it was like alarming. It wasn't like it wasn't like
violent or anything, but we're just like, oh, is this
your first time drinking? At our twentieth at.

Speaker 2 (19:06):
Really I almost guarantee.

Speaker 4 (19:08):
I feel like there's always one person that gets blacked out,
Like every time my mom will come back for a reunion.
Throughout my life, there would be that one person that
like really fucking blew it.

Speaker 3 (19:17):
Or some awkward happens. Someone's like, I've always loved you,
and you're like, oh shit, yeah.

Speaker 2 (19:23):
Yeah, anything can happen.

Speaker 3 (19:25):
We'll see.

Speaker 1 (19:25):
I've never gone to mine. I've never gone to my reunions.

Speaker 3 (19:30):
Oh yeah, I know.

Speaker 1 (19:33):
Well now the only one I have to go to
next is my thirtieth thirty. I've missed ten and twenty.

Speaker 2 (19:38):
How many friends are going to be even more fucked up?

Speaker 3 (19:40):
Yeah? How many of your friends do you still have
from high school? From high school? Yeah? Man, probably zero? Wow,
like that. I actually like.

Speaker 1 (19:52):
More from college than than high school for sure, but
high school yeah, like you know, outside of social.

Speaker 3 (20:00):
Media, Yeah yeah right right, pleasant trees being exchanged.

Speaker 2 (20:03):
Yeah, what about you, Chelsea, I have a good good
number of them. I think that it's probably because.

Speaker 4 (20:08):
I live where so it's like easier to yeah, I've
moved away and stuff, but I've been back here for
a while, and I had like a very close knit
group of friends in high school and we've all yeah.

Speaker 3 (20:23):
And some of them are they're not going to go
to the reunion.

Speaker 4 (20:25):
Well, no, I am going with two of my school
best friends from yeah, from high school, so that'll be
you know, I have like a little a halo of
protection as well.

Speaker 3 (20:36):
You never know, people be like Chelsea, I love the show.

Speaker 2 (20:40):
I'm sure that I probably go.

Speaker 3 (20:42):
I heard what you said about the Bible on that
other show.

Speaker 2 (20:45):
There's probably gonna be some of that too.

Speaker 3 (20:47):
I mean, yeah, there's always, there's always.

Speaker 2 (20:48):
It's also like a very different political landscape than ten
years ago, obviously, and I don't know who went what direction.

Speaker 3 (20:55):
Yeah, so I.

Speaker 1 (20:56):
Always wanted to see Obama was still in office.

Speaker 3 (20:59):
Yeah, yeah for my ten but Obama was there for
the twentieth. That was twenty twenty three, so Biden got
back in. But there was like one guy who was
like almost our valedictorian. He became a full blown like
maga doctor, but like wasn't but wasn't willing to like
stand on like the real fucked up parts about it.
Was just like trying to act as if it was

(21:19):
like other reason. I was just very weird, and I'm like,
I'm like, bro, you're Filipino. Bro, like your parents are immigrants, Like,
what the fuck is this shit? Bro? You not they
not gonna protect you anyway. Enough of that, let's take
a break and when we come back, we're gonna check
in with the fucking Minions, okay, because I need to,
We need answers. Were they working for Hitler? We will

(21:42):
find out after this and we're back. The new Minians
movie just hit it. Did you see that clip of
the people. There's like a screen where they have like
the one of the vulte, like the voice artists, who

(22:03):
does like a lot of the singing Minion stuff do
a live performance. Was it all be there or something?
I think so? And it was just so funny to
see like a human being to sing gibberish but like
with a beautiful, beautiful voice. So anyway, that movie's coming
out this weekend. But for whatever reason, this one takes

(22:24):
place in nineteen twenties Hollywood, because we've talked about the
Minions and their their history and like where they're at historically.
But like in the first one, they like really went
out of their way. They're like, look, they've worked for
the evilist bosses in the world. And then they're like
the minions were stuck in Antarctica from the nineteen twenties

(22:44):
through nineteen sixteen. Like, wow, it's a big chunk you
just skipped over. Okay, cool. I think a lot of
people were like, that's a convenient way.

Speaker 1 (22:56):
To really very content to have them not be involved
with second grayha and racism.

Speaker 3 (23:01):
Yeah yeah, right, but before I mean like, I'm like,
before that, I'm like, who are you working for? They're like, oh,
let's just let's not get into that. But anyway, I
think a lot of people are like, Okay, that definitely
rolls out working for Hitler if you're gone from the
nineteen twenties to nineteen sixty eight. But so, but now,
this movie is about a group of different minions who
clearly weren't in that Antarctic cave during the early twentieth century,

(23:25):
And the director of the film and the co creative
of the minions was just as straight up, did any
of the minions work for Hitler?

Speaker 2 (23:35):
It must be so stressed out, dude.

Speaker 3 (23:37):
So stressed. This is how the inner This is the
interaction that you had with the journalists. Quote, like a journalist,
did anyone minions work for Hitler? This is what one
of the new said I knew you're gonna ask me
that question. Shame on you, Coffin laughs. Then he goes
on to say, I think they were in that cave,
but this movie establishes that there are multiple tribes of minions.

(23:58):
I counter quote, I was trying to avoid the answer
at mits Coffin, who says he's fully aware that this
is a big question online. Then he makes clear that
the minions we mean in minions and monsters also didn't
work for Hitler. So just okay, least put that out
of your mind.

Speaker 1 (24:15):
I think you should. I think you should, uh, you know,
nut up and be like yeah they.

Speaker 3 (24:19):
Did, right, and then and then like they're in Nuremberg.

Speaker 2 (24:22):
Should work for Hitler, Yeah, Nurremberg for the next one.

Speaker 3 (24:25):
Yeah, that would be so funny, the menus at Nuremberg.

Speaker 2 (24:28):
Let's just crank this up two and eleven. Just really
see what see what we can do next.

Speaker 1 (24:33):
Yeah, just see, let's see what we can do if
they work for like here's or just.

Speaker 4 (24:40):
Like a forest gup way, yeah, yeah, they're like, oh, yeah,
that's the Amnion.

Speaker 1 (24:44):
Back then, if they worked for Grew who I think
is the name of the villain who's like main objective
was to like blow up the moon or some shit,
wasn't that or blow up like something. I'm like, you
know at that point, that's pretty Ea, we'll just have
work for every evil person.

Speaker 3 (25:02):
Yeah yeah, yeah, I mean I think that's the problem
is like they're they're cute and evil be interesting that
they somehow morph into like this vehicle for like historical
awareness for young children. You know. He's like and this
one worked for John C. Calhoun Like like, yeah.

Speaker 1 (25:24):
Yeah, minons, haven't Minya has been like co opted by
like boomers and ship like on like memes and Facebook
and stuff like that.

Speaker 3 (25:33):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Yeah, there's a lot of people who
love a bit of Minions. But hey, look, Jamie Lofts,
famous Minion appreciator.

Speaker 4 (25:45):
I was just thinking I wish that Jamie was taking
my place for this segment because I feel like she
would have so much.

Speaker 3 (25:51):
They're like, you know what, I'm gonna text Jamie right
now and just see if we can get an answer
while we're recording.

Speaker 2 (25:56):
I think that's great.

Speaker 3 (25:57):
Let me just take this. Let me just say your
take on the Minions being alive in the nineteen twenties.
In this new film Hitler Connection question mark. Okay, all right,
text message said, we'll check back in. We'll check back

(26:17):
in with the text real quick to see what is
said there. All right, Now moving on, we got the
fourth of July on the horizon. The magnified celebrations of
the two hundred and fiftieth birthday of the US are
not going well. Low attendance, yanky displays, people jerking off
in Uncle Sam costumes. These are all things that have

(26:38):
been happening just all around not good. And now we
can add fraud to that list. Although we should have
expected this because this is connected to Trump. This is
the Daily Beast quote. Among the most serious claims is
that donors who wanted to give money to America two fifty,
a bipartisan group created by Congress to organize and promote

(26:59):
events sell lebrating the nation's birthday, were purposely misled and
given wire instructions containing Freedom two fifties banking information, so
their funds would instead be redirected to the group backed
by the President. The report this is from the demo.
The House Democrats made this report. The report also alleges
that donors who intended to support America two fifty were

(27:22):
pressured to give money to Freedom Too fifty. Instead, some perspective,
donors and sponsors who wanted to give or who wanted
to contribute to America two fifty were told by the
Trump administration that they did not have a quote green
light to do so just yep boom. The House Democrats
were like, obviously, we can't do anything about it right

(27:42):
now because we don't control shit. But if we get
you know, control the House in the midterms, we will
be looking into this, like you know, They're like, I
it's so transparently out in the open. Apparently like other
corporate donors who had first given to America to fifty,
administration officials came and repressing them to also give equally

(28:02):
to Freedom to fifty. So just all like they're like no, no, no, no, no,
Like we need the money here for this other thing
so we can put on the Yankee State Fair.

Speaker 1 (28:11):
But again, okay, never taken a single dollar that's right
in the country. I don't salary. I don't take money
because I love this country.

Speaker 3 (28:20):
I love it. Yes, listen, I would never do that.
I don't like money. Money. It's just it's crazy, it's crazy. Yeah,
It's like the other clips have been wild. Did you
see there was also like this morning on Fox and Friends,
They're like they've been, you know, broadcasting why from there
they were there? No, I did not see this morning.

(28:40):
Oh you didn't see this more on Fox and Friends?
No I didn't. What was happened? What was happening to?
No Fox and Friends. I'm I'm the only good Republican here. Wow. Wow, Wow.
It was just they were showing like the opening of
like they were just broadcasting from the fair. Fucking no,
not a single fucking person there when they were like

(29:01):
they were just out there being like, hey, we're here,
Freedom to fifty. It was dead, like there was I'm
not joking. There was not a single person in the
background walking around when it had opened.

Speaker 4 (29:11):
So, you know what this reminds me of is within
the year before he died, I went and saw Aaron
Carter play at like this local small venue just because
I was like, well I got to go see this,
Like it just popped across something and I was like, well, yeah,
I mean this's gonna be weird. And fifty people maybe
maxx Yeah, And then the show was super weird. He

(29:33):
had his dogs on stage with his girlfriend just kind
of sitting in the back of at the back of
the stage, and yeah, it was rough. It was rough,
but it was but I know we feel sad, but.

Speaker 2 (29:44):
At that time, yes, was he really mean?

Speaker 4 (29:47):
Yeah, we've kind of had I think we've had like
a little bit of a what do you call it, Like,
we've we've made him a lot nicer than he was
because he I used to watch some of his lives
and he was quite abusive at times.

Speaker 3 (30:00):
Makes sense. I just like anytime like depressing, I know,
it's always like fucked up. Anybody who's an entertainer as
a kid, it's not gonna go up fucking It's like
seventy thirty seventy percent, shit goes terribly wrong.

Speaker 1 (30:14):
I know Hillary become like actual celebrities, Hillary Duff, Hillary Duff.

Speaker 3 (30:19):
I guess so you're repping for the thirty for the
thirty Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (30:24):
But I think the reason I say that is like
just the you just think it's not possible that so
a few people could go because of you know, we
know that there are so many people, probably less than
the bots make us think online. You know, so many
people that do support them, and it's just like it
feels impossible that it could be so poorly attended, right
and yet yeah we're seeing.

Speaker 3 (30:45):
Did you see. Here's the thing. But they don't.

Speaker 1 (30:48):
They don't care about America. Also, they're broke because everybody's
broken and it's broke. They are even more broke because
you know they were before and this president is making
them even more broke.

Speaker 3 (31:03):
But they don't care about America.

Speaker 1 (31:05):
They care about hate and racism and misogyny and sexism
and transphobia and homophobia, and they care about all these
things more so when it actually comes down to something
like go storm the castle for January six, you get
fucking hundreds of thousand people showing up.

Speaker 3 (31:23):
When it comes.

Speaker 1 (31:24):
To celebrate this country that you're so patriotic for, they'd
be like, oh but uh no, I'll.

Speaker 3 (31:31):
Just say I'll just say the N word at home today. Yeah,
I can celebrate America at home, right right right, Like
there's not.

Speaker 4 (31:38):
Like a sense of owning the Libs, which is also
I think a primary motive.

Speaker 2 (31:43):
Is just trying to hurt hurt us. Yeah, yeah, like
you know they I don't think they're thinking far enough
to be like, well, if the crowd is big, they
will be sad. Yeah, it's just like not on their ring.

Speaker 3 (31:55):
The whole thing is obviously giving the impression always, like
you're saying, Chelsea, like, the impression always has to be.
This movement is so much larger than it actually is.
So people are so they get the feeling that resistance
is futile and just don't even But then you look
at like, okay, so what happens when you throw a
party for yourselves? You get this? Did you see the

(32:15):
clip of this band performing, Yes, this is them performing
Beyonce is Crazy in Love. The camera just does a
three sixty spin and nobody's fucking here. They're starting off
with like a jazzy rendition. I don't know why it's
like a show band version of Crazy and Love, but
here it is. There's like literally four people at the front.

(32:36):
Oh boy, now let's see that crowd shot spin around camera. Uh, nobody,
Jesus is just beyond.

Speaker 2 (32:51):
It's beyond comprehension.

Speaker 4 (32:53):
It really is just seems impossible to me that so
few people could be there, because there are just people
who are walking on them.

Speaker 3 (33:01):
Even people are like tourists are like, nah, bro, I'm good,
I'm good.

Speaker 2 (33:04):
Like a brand new local punk band is pulling more
people right right, like the dive bar. It's really weird.

Speaker 3 (33:10):
Yeah, so yeah, you know, sure they keep pretending that
shit's going really well. And the other thing too, was
you know, secretly Agriculture Secretary Brook Rollins. She did a
live podcast at this thing, and that always freaks me out.
Anytime I've done a live podcast at a thing that
wasn't explicitly for like our audience, it's always like a

(33:34):
crap shoot. You're like, you don't know who the fuck
is about to pull up. Well, I've never I've never
seen a lack of audience like this before in my life.
She did a live podcast for Moms for America and
she posts first, she posted a video promoting like what
you know, She's like, oh, look how cool this event is.
And I want to play the video that Brooke Rollins

(33:56):
posted to say, like so much fun at the State
Fair doing this podcast. And you'll probably notice something. She
never shows the audience very quiet, okay, just a very
fourth shot, then another one from behind. It's a seven
second clip. You don't get any context, but you will
never see the audience. That's probably because the audience was

(34:20):
not there. Let me actually play a clip from the
people that were standing around. This is what it looked
like actually while those two people were having their live
podcast that there.

Speaker 2 (34:32):
Is nothing like being on a zoom.

Speaker 3 (34:34):
Call quickpan one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen,
seventy to nineteen twenty twenty five.

Speaker 2 (34:43):
People like some of it's pressed.

Speaker 3 (34:46):
Most of them is embarrassed to be there too. I
would be embarrassed to be even in that grass, like
we should go.

Speaker 1 (34:54):
It's so funny too, because the first major lie ones
he got installed into the presidency was I forget was
Sean Spicer was his name coming out saying, like.

Speaker 3 (35:07):
The largest crowd you've ever seen, This is.

Speaker 1 (35:09):
The largest crowd you ever seen, And like his crowds
have always been like such a big deal to him,
with crowds, the biggest crowds, the biggest crowds, and on
what should be for president one of the most celebratory
events in any presidency's history, right like two hundred and

(35:29):
fiftieth Birthday of America, like you're literally have there are
more people going to see Indy improv with some of
the worst improvisers that you will ever fucking see in
your life. And there you grad shows, yes, and there
are more people in the fucking audience for that than
this ship.

Speaker 3 (35:46):
That is least people are doing real art up there
for those improv I mean yeah. Trump is definitely upset.
According to report in the CNN, it's it's not been
good because he was he saw a pick sure of
how few people attended his kickoff speech and lost it
quote quote. Trump grew quote livid over the crowd size
at his kickoff event for the Great American State Fair,

(36:08):
a week long celebration of the two hunred and fiftieth,
according to a new report, and White House officials now
fear a lackluster turnout could overshadow his Fourth of July speech. Trump,
who spoke after sunset, did not initially know how large
the crowd was, CNN reported, but he was later shown
an aerial photo that depicted vast stretches of empty fields
behind the audience. After seeing the image, the President became

(36:31):
quote enraged, and White House officials removed it from their
social media posts. Trump later wrote on true social that
the crowd had been packed to the brim with at
least forty five thousand people. No, Christ, it's not even close.
I wish, I wish at.

Speaker 1 (36:46):
The same time Mandannie would do like a speech in
New York. Obama would do a speech at the library
the next parade. Yeah right, look at that shit. But
at the same time, and then like it only like
on TV, show it from an aerial view, Like I
don't even want to see a close up of their faces.

(37:07):
I just want to see the cryal size the whole
fucking time.

Speaker 4 (37:11):
Mom, Donnie could do like a five minutes before, like
on Instagram posts like hey doing this five minutes.

Speaker 3 (37:17):
Yeah, come on, come on out to watching a square
park real quick. I want to see something.

Speaker 2 (37:22):
Let's pop over.

Speaker 3 (37:23):
Yeah. Yeah, it's tough. It's tough, all right. Well, let's
move on to some fun Baptist church things. As we
were just talking about the Bible, you may have seen
the Mount Olivet Baptist Church in Kentucky get a lot
of scrutiny this last week and backlash over a video
clip that surfaced of the summer vacation Bible school program

(37:45):
that they got going on. In the clip, to a
bunch of young kids seated in the pews as armed
soldiers gunned down someone wearing all black and then they
all chant take him out, blow him up, and then
they do. Take the dead body outside and you hear
an explosion. So that's just what you're gonna see. But

(38:06):
I just want to play this because the clip is
so wild. Okay, yeah, so this is. This is at
the this is at the Bible camp program. Here we go,
take him out, blow him up, is what the pastor
is going to get. The kids all chanting. So a
bunch of kids are like, oh my god, dudes full
on assault rifles. I mean they're like, you know, toy

(38:30):
guns or whatever. Take him out. Someone wearing all black
just full on gunning this guy down with their little
cap guns. Take him out, blow them up. Now they're

(38:52):
going to walk the guy out. There's a lot of
time passes, so they're taking the guy out, and then
the pastor is like, all right, guys, it's the guy's
gonna blow up. He's outside. This goes off for a
long time. Boom, there's a boom, and the kids fucking

(39:12):
scream and they're like, all right, take him out, blow
him up. So a lot of people are like, what
in the holy fuck was that about? You know, like
anti violence group like Mom's Demand Action, like their Kentucky
chapter was like, uh, this is they said, quote, Vacation
Bible School and our churches should be safe spaces for

(39:34):
our children. Subjecting kids to full scale, simulated tactical raid
and firing squad, there's just an appalling abuse of that
space and a major breach of trust that can't go unaddressed.
The pastor of the church, Dwayne Miller, said, this is misinformation.
The video that shows exactly what happens at the Little
Bible Camp. This is what this is what the.

Speaker 1 (39:56):
US commentary over it was just showing the videos.

Speaker 3 (39:59):
Just here's a video from the inside. This is what
we said. Quote. The misinformation out there is sad, and
I guess it's just part of what this generation has become.
He said. The viral video showed an event that was
quote nothing more than a small part of our Vacation
Bible School. We have characters every year that represent good
and right and God, and we have characters that represent
evil and wrong and that which should be avoided or

(40:22):
shot out back quote. Every year for thirty two years,
we've had this evil against good ritual in our Vacation
Bible School. The last several years we've had the commandos
for Christ. The clip you saw, the clip you saw
was simply killing the devil. You may think we went
over the top, you may think it was a little
bit more extreme, and maybe you're right, but don't you

(40:43):
believe that the devil is really using extreme measures in
this generation. So this guy basically did like the Rick
James thing is like, man, I didn't step on Eddie's couch.
He's like, I didn't mess up Eddie Murphy's couch. He's like, yeah,
fuck that Eddie Murphy's couch. Like the whole thing. He's like,
it's misinformation. But then he's like, yeah, that's what we did.
So I'm yeah, yeah, but he's like, but we're finding

(41:08):
the extremism of the devil.

Speaker 4 (41:10):
I think what's so interesting about this is like their
vision of evil is like this person that is obvious modification,
the victim, like the victim of the story and the
person who violence is being enacted upon. Like it fits
so well with their greater like worldview that the devil
is this right, which is pretty disturbing.

Speaker 3 (41:34):
Yeah, and it can be like embodied in a maybe
a person that the state, but that state violence will
take care.

Speaker 2 (41:40):
Of, state will execute for you, and.

Speaker 3 (41:42):
Then get kids on that fucking momentum.

Speaker 6 (41:44):
Of take him out, blow him take because if you
have such a flippant view of life like that at
an early age, like I'm obviously I feel like this
is this is so intentional to be like, you gotta
get kids just like rooting for stuff like that, and
then they'll yeah, then enough mentum will carry them through
life where they may not question where they have such
casual attitudes about uh, you know, unhinged state violence or

(42:06):
something like that.

Speaker 2 (42:07):
That's absolutely what's going on.

Speaker 3 (42:08):
Take them out, blow them up. But it's misinformation. But yeah,
that happened, and that's what we do. Just this the
reflexive shit of like misinformation is just so fucking just
tired at this point when you really have no defense.
So anyway, I hope everyone's having a good time at
Bible Camp, y'all. That's not what we'll be there next week.

(42:30):
Like when I went to The Times, I went to
Bible Camp, I was so fucking bored because we were
just doing like weird like like Jesus arts and crafts
and things like that, and I was like, this is, so,
can we go play basketball or something? Capture the flag
never was never kissed. Girls better not, you better not
that's not in front of God. Well, we was freaks

(42:52):
and camp but we had Bible School. But after oh
arts was over, man, everyone like freak every oh wow.
We were very chaste at my Lutheran Bible school. Yeah yeah, yeah,
I'll never forget, man, I'll never forget the day.

Speaker 1 (43:08):
I live I school, Me and my girlfriend were at
the Bible at church, and like the pastor had just
found out his granddaughter was pregnant. Uh so he came
to church on a rampage that day. He came to
his whole sermon was like, don't be fornicate and selling,
it's the devil, blah blah blah, and like he came

(43:30):
right up to my girlfriend and like started speaking in
tongues and she was crying.

Speaker 3 (43:34):
And the whole time I'm thinking.

Speaker 1 (43:35):
Like, man, you're about to stop us from I ain't never.
I was so mad, man, I was so mad. And
then because she was just like, yes, I.

Speaker 3 (43:43):
Hear you, God, I hear you.

Speaker 1 (43:45):
Like no, no no, no, that ain't gotten no no no
no no no. I'm just standing there. I'm just standing there,
like and then we left church, and then the moment
we were alone, she was ripping off my clothes.

Speaker 3 (44:00):
The fact I was like, thank yeah, somebody sign he's
got me hot and bother forbidden. God damn. And now
that that became your kind of like tactic now romanticulate something.

Speaker 1 (44:19):
Speaking of let me speak in tongues to you, baby.

Speaker 3 (44:25):
I gotta go there. Yeah, oh ship, all right, let's
take a break. When we come back. We're talking about
air conditioning culture wars. As fucking stupid as that is,
it's air conditioning culture wars time. We'll talk about that
right off and we're back. Uh So, as we were

(44:55):
talking about on yesterday's trends, the Northeast is going through
a fucked up heat wave. President Trump was like, it's
gonna be one hundred and seven on the fourth of July,
and I'm gonna do the longest speech ever to He
literally said, to show everybody that I can do it,
which you love to see. However, unfortunately he won't be

(45:15):
trying to do that in one hundred and seven degree heat.
It's only going to be maybe eighty's ish by the
time he's starting at nine to forty five at night,
which again so stupid because yeah, everyone's everyone can't wait
for the ten thirty PM fireworks show.

Speaker 2 (45:30):
Isn't it eleven? Is it ten thirty or eleven?

Speaker 3 (45:33):
I mean it's I think ten thirty's the earliest it
could be, given how long Trump's speech goes, how late
he is. You know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (45:39):
I'm just gonna keep pushing it.

Speaker 3 (45:41):
It could be fucking one a you'd have no fucking clue,
which again would be disasters. Like for half the fucking
DMV area was asleep by the time the actual fire
where they'll probably be awoken by them because it'll be
a massive explosion. Yeah, but anyway, they're going through a
heat wave and Mayor Mom Donnie in New York, he
said he advised his constituent in the City of New
York said stay safe and hold on to your bucks. Here,

(46:04):
he said, quote set your air conditioning to seventy eight
degrees to prevent overstrain on the power grid. What the fuck? Okay,
So a number of right wingers on social media probably
freaked the fuck out against this, just like, hey, man,
you don't want the fucking power to go out in
a heat wave because that would be disastrous for all

(46:25):
we have. Vivek Ramaswami who said, quote, this is what
socialism looks like folks, the right answer is it restrictions
or mandates. It's drilling, fracking, coal, and nuclear. Nikki Haley,
former governor of South Carolina, also made a similar point,
writing quote, welcome to socialism. Mm hmm, okay, thank you.
Spencer Pratt disgraced loser fuck boy who tried to run

(46:48):
for mayor of Los Angeles and failed. I think you
think you're supposed to get the fuck out, Spencer. Uh.
He posted show us your thermostat ComIH. Dave Portnoy of
Barstool Sports seventy eight degrees. Welcome to communism, people, hope
you enjoy again. No one knows a fucking thing about

(47:10):
any system of government. It's all reflexive. This person said it.
I'm just gonna call it socialism because he's saying to
not strain the power grid.

Speaker 4 (47:20):
And he didn't make a law. He just was like, hey,
this is hey, he's not like the law. Is this
taking over the power. It's like, no, there's a gentle suggestion.

Speaker 3 (47:31):
Hey, you sure you don't want to make the power
grid to fucking go out, Let's just try if we can.
Let's let's not go lower than seventy eight degrees. If
we can, that will help, if we just all have
that in our minds.

Speaker 1 (47:42):
They say every year to them, Yeah, even if you
go to like gas companies websites, they say, seventy eight
degrees is what they say, like every year. Texas has
said it every year they say.

Speaker 3 (47:58):
Is what's funny is Eric Adams said the exact same
shit last year. You know what I mean. This isn't
fucking new at all. And again to your point about
Texas noted power grid failure expert Senator Ted Kruz, who
loves to go, he loves a fuck off out of
his state. When the power grid is trained, he said,
quote in a first world country, you could you could

(48:19):
turn on the AC. Wow, that's cool, he said. But
as a community No quickly pointed out the state of
Texas has repeatedly made the exact same recommendation as mom,
Donnie because their grid is super fragile out there, super
fragile calibrixpialo doocius. Okay, yeah, but anyway, so this isn't
anything new, and you're like, put seventy eight degrees is

(48:42):
like kind of a specific number. It turns out it
seemingly originates with Jimmy Carter's response to the energy crisis
in the nineteen seventies. In nineteen seventy nine, he asked
all federal buildings be set to seventy eight degrees in
the summer and fifty five degrees in the winter to
offset the quote incredible, incredible strength and on resources. And
even though, like Carter, wasn't really popular at the time,

(49:04):
the idea of keeping this the ac at seventy degrees
was supported by around seventy seven percent of Americans. We're like, yeah,
that's a that's that's a fine temperature if outside is yeah, yeah,
you can do that. I mean, here the unfortunate.

Speaker 1 (49:19):
I mean, I'm aware of the times we live in, right,
good good thing. But you know this is so disingenuous.
They know, they know Tad Cruz knows, Dave Port No, no,
all these bitches know. They fucking know like this is.
They know this isn't new. They know this happens every year.

(49:40):
They know this is what people say. They know people
say it to me, that people have been saying it
for years. I turn my shit lowered to seventy eight.
If I'm cold, if I'm hot, and if I'm cold,
if you're fine, yeah, sure.

Speaker 3 (49:51):
And if I'm fine, I'm fine keeping it.

Speaker 1 (49:53):
But like we this is so disingenuous, and that's not
the surprising part. The unfortunate part is that we have
to give this time, we have to like talk about this,
We like this. This becomes a part of the new cycle,
which they also know. And it's just the entire thing
is just fueled by disingenuineous Yeah, just ingenuousness. Yeah right,

(50:19):
and it's like it is laughable, is funny.

Speaker 3 (50:23):
Well, and everything everything is so reflexively just like whatever
they do is socialism, which will be funny when it'll
be like, oh, like like if in a fantasy world
in America actually has like universal health care, they'll be like,
welcome to socialism, folks, and like, yeah, thank god, what
are you talking about. You have free healthcare? Now great, Oh,

(50:44):
welcome to social folks. There's your free daycare for your kids, your.

Speaker 1 (50:48):
Free day care. Welcome, don and created new buses and
they're three seats instead of two, socialists, welcome to, So
welcome your free bus, dickhead. Well, the stupid air conditioning
culture war is kind of you can kind of draw
a line back to Ronald Reagan because he pushed back
against AC limits during his first presidential campaign and denouncing

(51:10):
quote conservation measures that hinder an individual's lifestyle, Which isn't
that surprising. This dude was literally an air conditioner salesman
for General Electric. Like there's clips of him where.

Speaker 3 (51:21):
He's like, well, Nancy here, yeah, we've blown out the
views from using electricity. Like this guy is like he
has been big AC for since the beginning. And also
makes sense too that like this second he came in office,
he took down the solar panels that Carter had installed
on the White House, like anything that was remotely close
to being like this is good for the environment. He's like,

(51:43):
I have to absolutely vaporize any trace of that sort
of mentality. And also interesting fact has people have argued
that air conditioning was a huge factor in Reagan being
elected because air conditioning allowed for like the mass migration
of people to the Sun Belt, like so creating a
huge demographic shift in like Arizona, Florida, all these places

(52:07):
now because AC made those places like Nevada, because it
made like air conditioning, those places now were habitable, and
people were like are habitable, and we're like this is great,
this is perfect This is just from a a PBS
article about like air conditioning and Reagan's elections quote, and
that Sun Belt coalition is crucial to Ronald Reagan's election
in nineteen eighty. Now it's possible that Reagan could have

(52:28):
gotten elected without air conditioning, but he would have had
to have built a completely different political coalition to do it.
So AC is absolutely part of that story. And again,
even before the Mamdani thing, I don't know if you saw,
there's like been a ton of like Europe's had it
obviously terrible heat wave. There's like a thousand excess deaths
the French were reporting because of a heat wave there.

(52:51):
And on social media they're like complaints for Americans who're
like I'm in France right now and there's no AC
and I'm fucking dying, like it's so cool, but it's true,
like it was really hot and for Americans are used
to AC, they couldn't handle it. But now there's like
all these like opits coming out, like the Wall Street
Journal has when that says Europe is hot as hell?
Why doesn't it want air conditioning? Why doesn't it want

(53:13):
air conditioning? I think that the mayor of Paris encouraged
locals to hold back on air conditioning units, calling them
a scourge. Yeah, because he said it will make the
city even hotter. And in response to that article, the
Deputy mayor of Paris posted a sideshow on Instagram basically saying, quote,
as the second largest emitter of greenhouse gases in the world,

(53:34):
you've very significant responsibility for global warming and the consequences
we in France are experiencing. Your cities are ninety percent
air conditioning. This is not unrelated to this, so yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 4 (53:47):
You know, something that I feel like is a bigger
picture thing with this is like the need for the
right to continuously push this like hyper individualism, which relates
to socialism because it's it's like, if it's all about
you and your air conditioning and your comfort and it's
not about community based like goodness for all, then they

(54:08):
can continue to make sure that we don't have any
kind of unification to know collectivism constantly they like about
this small like every way we can have this personal
freedom at whatever cost it takes.

Speaker 3 (54:19):
Which is crazy because when the chips are down and
people are actually faced with a disaster, the human impulse
is to work collectively. When the grid goes down in Texas,
those Texans are looking out for each other. Like any
scenario you see where a natural disaster hits and the
normal sort of infrastructure that people are used to goes out,

(54:40):
people are fucking helping each other. So it's interesting that
like so much of their plan is like we gotta
chip away at empathy as a concept. They're always talking
about empathy and how like empathy is fucking gross and disgusting,
or like collectivism doesn't work. Yet those are the app
Those are the apps. Those are like the engines that
keep humanity alive, and it's hard to rewire that just

(55:01):
because you think you're dumb fucking barstool sports God is like,
welcome to communism. Unism. Yeah, like you think someone like
at that point, like their AC goes out, the grid
goes down, and they're gonna be like, do you need help?
He's like, no, I'm fine, dude, I'm not a communist.

Speaker 4 (55:18):
You're gonna be like help me, yes, absolutely, I'm going
to push this thing right now that I think is
really cool.

Speaker 2 (55:25):
I did it.

Speaker 4 (55:26):
It was an eight week course. It's called SERT in
its Community Emergency Response Training, and it helps you figure
out how to like help during a natural disaster. And
it's totally free. You learn like basic medical, basic firefighting,
search and rescue. It's a very fucking pool and it's everywhere.
And I just feel like more people should know that
it exists, because if everybody just took that course and

(55:47):
we had a natural disaster, it would just be like
it would save.

Speaker 2 (55:51):
Just countless life. Yeah yeah, just people had that skill
and knew how to.

Speaker 3 (55:55):
I know in LA they have them online. I think
they offer them just so you have those skills, which
we got.

Speaker 4 (56:02):
To do one of those things where teenagers from drama
class in their high school like got blood all you know,
put blood all over, We're screaming and like we had
to like carry them out and figure out how to
like fix their wounds.

Speaker 2 (56:12):
And it was wild.

Speaker 3 (56:15):
Yeah that's crazy.

Speaker 2 (56:16):
Yeah, I mean but just one, I like a lot
of people don't know that exists, and I think it's
really cool.

Speaker 3 (56:20):
Yeah, right, that a resource. I mean, especially like in
a place that is susceptible to any kind of natural disaster,
which at this point, let's be real as anyway.

Speaker 2 (56:29):
And we got the big one or earthquake, you know that. Yeah,
like both of our and you.

Speaker 3 (56:34):
Got that was like the Cascadia abductions. Yeah, what is
that called?

Speaker 2 (56:38):
I think it's a caskie. Yeah, I think you guys
have one.

Speaker 3 (56:42):
And Andreas San Andreas who got two fault lines, that's
they're like ready to pop. But the Cascadia subduction zone,
that's the that's a big baller subduction zone.

Speaker 2 (56:51):
It's a big it's a big time.

Speaker 3 (56:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (56:53):
And I'll just be out there yet that I got
from CIRT class.

Speaker 3 (56:57):
Yes, everybody get trained up because at the end of
the day, like and I think most people have realized
this too, like especially with like ice raids and all
the you know, a new American fascism that's emerging, is
that like truly communities, like we're we're the ones that
are going to keep each other safe because trying to
rely on the state to do that is not going

(57:19):
to be a guaranteed victory. When at the end of
the day, like merely knowing your neighbors is such a
like just knowing your neighbors will exponentially increase your chances
of survival because I feel like so many people, especially
in LA, they don't fucking they don't know most of
their neighbors like they don't know, you don't know. You

(57:40):
better know something, don't worry if if something go down.
I'm gon knocking on the doors. I am. I don't
know you, bro, but I need help. Who's there? It's me.

Speaker 1 (57:52):
I'm one fourteen brother. You'd be saying, yeah, yeah, yeah,
we know each other, will speak to eachform's uniform. Guy, yeah, bro,
you know you know I live here. Let me Okay,
you know I live here.

Speaker 3 (58:05):
Let me in. Man, you got water. I need some struggle.

Speaker 1 (58:09):
I'm dying, I need something the same thing.

Speaker 3 (58:14):
Yeah, yeah, assolutely. It makes things less scary, you know
what I mean when you know you can face things
like collectively rather than individually, which again, like to your point, Chelsea,
if people feel more inclined to think about their own
rugged individualism, that also makes you more scared of everything,
more frightened of everything, because you don't have that sort

(58:36):
of the benefit of thinking of like, oh, I'm part
of a community. I'm part of a collective anyway. But
that said, go meet your neighbors. You know what I mean.
You don't got to like it, but know who they
are because you never know, you never know, You never know, Chelsea.

indeed some things that I'm liking.

Speaker 3 (01:00:38):
This is what I saw high felts.

Speaker 1 (01:00:40):
I love a high felt that you'll see online and
you'd be like, oh, yeah, that is true.

Speaker 3 (01:00:45):
Here's a high thought for you. Hi on drugs.

Speaker 1 (01:00:52):
Yes, you can't stand backwards on stairs. That's something I saw.

Speaker 2 (01:01:00):
That took me even a second to.

Speaker 3 (01:01:04):
No am I in a drawing, right, you can't.

Speaker 1 (01:01:10):
You can't stand because whichever way you're turned on stairs,
you're just going, and you're going.

Speaker 3 (01:01:16):
I can't turn backwards.

Speaker 1 (01:01:17):
Stick you can't stand backwards on stairs, you can't stand sideways.

Speaker 3 (01:01:23):
It's a fucking bar right there. I don't even think
about that ship. Oh man, thanks for that one. I
love a high THI that kind of fucked me up.
I don't know if I can go through my day anymore.

Speaker 2 (01:01:34):
A version of that is like the only bumper sticker
I have, and it says two wrongs don't make a right,
but three lefts to.

Speaker 3 (01:01:42):
It's like my favorite boom boom boom.

Speaker 2 (01:01:44):
Totally non partisan bumper stick.

Speaker 3 (01:01:46):
My friend's grandma didn't like to turn left, so she
would do a series.

Speaker 2 (01:01:50):
Of rights because of like Saint or something.

Speaker 3 (01:01:53):
No, no, she was just like like the oldest drive
to the Yeah she was too fucking old to drive.
Yeah she were lowky old, but she wasn't like, look
I always felt safe from the car boodoorays be like
what she't making this left turn? We about to do
three rights? There you go, there you go. I think
something happened, like you know, early, like maybe got hit

(01:02:14):
by like a like in an accident or something. And
then you know, like old people could be like and
I don't need to do that anymore. And yeah, that's true.
That's fair. She had a dope like nineteen eight, like
a seventy nine Green Corolla fucking dope. Hey recipes nom
we miss you, We miss you out here anyway, find
me everywhere at Miles of Gray. I'm talking about ninety
day Fiance on four to twenty Day Fiance. I'm talking

(01:02:34):
about football in soccer if you're American or Australian on
the my new podcast, Ain't a Footy with Jamel Johnson
and Chris Martin not from Coldplay, although I might be
able to do real improv with Chris Martin from cold Play.
I don't I gotta talk. I gotta tell you about this, Jackies.
This might actually happen, and if it does, I need

(01:02:55):
you to come through anyway. A work of media I'm
liking is from Walter Masterson, great comedian. This is a
video he posted called Democratic Consultants crash Out over DSA,
and it's just this funny sketch of these guys in
tuxedos pretend to be Democratic consultants to saying the wildest shit.

Speaker 7 (01:03:15):
Harris Slsburg eight.

Speaker 3 (01:03:18):
We can't lose No Ezra loves it.

Speaker 7 (01:03:20):
You don't win elections by appealing to the material needs
of voters. You win elections by being moderately Transphona boys,
eh reform ice. Yeah, so instead of calling it a genocide,
just say I sometimes disagree with Benjamin Nett and Yahoo,
You're welcome. Jamla lost the election because of those pro

(01:03:42):
Palestine people.

Speaker 3 (01:03:44):
Aren't they like a huge voting block? Though, shouldn't we
cozy up to them? They could swing the elections. We
don't negotiate with terrorists. The only people we meet in
the middle are the far right.

Speaker 2 (01:03:54):
Very good, very good?

Speaker 3 (01:04:00):
Are the right? Oh god? Do real? Do fucking real? Anyway,
you can find us, uh most places at Daily's I
guess run the Daily Zeitgeist on Instagram. Go to the
description of the episode right now where you're listening. If
you scroll to the bottom, that's where you'll find the keys,

(01:04:20):
which is where we will link off to the information
we talked about in today's episode. Also link off to
a song I think you might enjoy. I think you
might enjoy a track from this Like. I think it's
like a collective of producers from La called Port London
and there their music is kind of like distorted beats

(01:04:41):
kind of stuff. It just it feels like it's coming
out of like like blown out speakers in a car,
but it's kind of heavy and I kind of need
something like that little little bit agro but a little
got a little flavor to it. This is their track
called Wildfires V. Two. This is by Port London. Your
your speakers are not blowing. I'm just letting you know,
but it will feel like that. And if you want

(01:05:02):
to blow your speakers to this, go ahead and do
it because it will give you energy. We'll give you life.
