(03:24):

in the eye, welcome. Are you doing man? I'm doing

(04:10):
great man. Thrilled to be on the iHeart Network playing
video games for money? I mean, what else can I
ask for? Really? You know, just loving it. I think
is there a build happening? Maybe in in the in
the world of one upsmership, there is there a build,
meaning a PC build. Is that? Yeah? That on it
right now? Behold the The audience can't see it, but

(04:34):
I'm working on what looks like a space station. It's
a piece to see it in their mind. This is
the audio medium. So absolutely, yeah, it does look like
you are in the light Year module that he flies
around in. When Daniel installed it, I was like, so
it's going to have those lights all the time, and
he was like, oh yeah, this thing. Yeah, it's gonna

(04:56):
have lights forever. Like it's just lights all the time.
It has, it has rims that spin constantly. Yes, it
has hydraulics. I think I didn't think you needed it
looks basically the same lighting inside of a Hummer Limo
that would pick up kids for problem. Yeah, And it
reminded me of the first Fast and Furious like the

(05:17):
Street and the First Fast and Furious when where they
got the ground effects of the undo? Yeah yeah, yeah,
Well are are you Adam as a filmmaker? How are you?
How do you feel about bos Lehman and uh and Elvis?
So it just looks weird. It just looks weird. I

(05:39):
like bos Lehman's thing. I don't always like his thing
that I don't know, uh that Elvis looks bizarrely like
a doll or something like he like he Like, I
feel like something about the Elvis character looks unreal to me,
you know, and that's weird, But that also makes me
want to see it more, like to see like what
did he do? Man? What hap? What? So cool? Stuff? Though, Yeah,

(06:07):
it's so That's what part of me is like. It
feels at the very least it will entertain me from like, wow,
he really he really went and fuck that one up? Huh,
and just the entertainment of that, or to be pleasantly surprised,
like because that trailer where his like air fucking was
like setting off the brains of the people in the audience.
I was like that just like focuses in on him,

(06:36):
like violently humping a pop. Always wanted to read the
script like how that scene was written like and how
there was like and then as he gyrates his hips,
like something takes over the audience. Yeah, into your audience's mind.
Explosions happening, but they look shiny, right. It feels like

(06:59):
it feels like the early baas Lehman is like when
good drug experiences happened, and this feels this feels like
the bad kind. This feels this feels like, oh no,
I've taken too much or too little or the wrong
kind and now I am having a waking fever dream.
So also, you know, shout out to someone from changing

(07:21):
their name from Mark to bass. That's also another thing
I just want to say, big fan of that he
went from me Marman. Maybe sounds too much like Mark
Furman after the OJ trial. That's a point, like cuss
he could have like got like, you know, something that
was part of Mark or Marcus, but Marcus Lehman. But

(07:45):
who knows. I wonder if that's like a like a
thing like you know, because he's from Australia, isn't he
believes so like you know, it is it's like a
nickname because they said he looked like Basil Brush. I
don't know what that is. I mean that's from the English.
That also, that might be hindsight, right, that might be him,
like try to justify it in the aftermath and Basil

(08:06):
Brush is a red fox puppet. That's not fun. Oh
so they were working with him. Yeah, wow, Yeah, that's
the guy I want to see do a space movie.
What is buzz lermit in space? What is that? It's
a whole his whole Wikipedia, there's a whole section and
his name evolved. You seem positively gazumped by this. Smiles. No,

(08:28):
I'm gonna gazump him by airing out the I don't know.
I'm trying to utilize gazump as much as possible in
my day to day conversation. But have you heard the
phrase gazump had him not enough? I mean I've I've
heard it three times now and I hope to hear
it much more. No, I have not strongly Ballroom. Anybody

(08:53):
who hasn't gone back and watched Strictly Ballroom, which is
like his first big movie. It rules like, that's a
really good movie about ballroom dancing, and it's still very good.
I had no idea that was from him. Yeah, that's
how we know who he is. But if if you
go back and watching, oh I see, I see how
he was going to become this, this shiny, splendid man.

(09:14):
You know. Yeah, I just took my first sip of
mountain dew flame and hot. Wait, okay, so you're doing
it as we're just gonna check. It is not going
to be an event. I'm not gonna I don't think
anyone's that in mountain dew flaming hot, which is do
with a blast of heat and citrus flavor with other

(09:35):
natural flavors. It's uh, it's fine. It's not my favorite.
I was confused as to how they were going to
incorporate heat, But as I drank it, I realized that,
you know, I love a good ginger beer. Now that
I don't drink booze anymore, I love a good ginger
beer because it's got a little kick, and this this

(09:56):
reminds me of that a little bit, a little ginger
flame but then like a cayenne like peppery, like fuck
you yeah, okay, got it. Yeah, they can't get away
with that. There's no too many white people ding mountain. Yeah,
almost exclusively. I mean person like me to be like,
oh spicy, and I'm like the fund is this tastes

(10:18):
like fireball or something? It does. It tastes like the
very beginning of fireball. Now yeah, it's yeah. It's rounded
off though in the way that all mountain dew flavors are.
It doesn't. It never has like a bad aftertaste, never
like lingers too long. It rounds off quickly and it's
it's fine. Let me get a let me get a

(10:39):
flaming hot and fireball slame mountain. I'd be worried. That
would instantly kill me, you know. I mean, like I
just be worried, like the weight on the heart that
that thing's got to do to you after a certain
as just like right, I mean I got to think
about that. Yeah, yeah, that's cool, man. I get you

(11:00):
see through you see through my spinny spinny baseball cap
and lollipop that I tried to wear to make everybody
think I'm you. I speak only for myself Jack, as
a former smoker, but I would die instantly if I
adjusted that that's great that you quit smoking. I haven't
hung around with you in a while five years, hey man,
we haven't hung out with you because of all the
cigarettes smoked, but honestly couldn't take it. Man, it was

(11:26):
a lot you were smoking all the time, like around
my kids, my pregnant wife. Like I was like, you
were like, well, then I guess she needs to get
out of here. When I was like, Adam, she needs
the bests. Then on her stomach, Oh, I guess you
don't want to have have a cool baby. Alright, Adam, We're

(11:50):
gonna get to know you a little bit better in
a moment. First, we're gonna tell our listeners a couple
of things we're talking about. We're gonna talk about some
gun laws that we might get and what you know,
like how hardcore those laws are according to the mainstream media.
And then in reality, we're gonna talk about what what
is holding it up um, which is kind of entertaining

(12:11):
and horrifying. We're gonna talk about the Biden maybe shouldn't
run chorus getting louder. We're gonna talk about how Disney
castrated buzz light Year by not letting Tim Allen play
him m M and according to Patricia Heaton, bringing the
heat and takes. And then we're gonna talk about Matt

(12:32):
damon the face of crypto fucker all that, plenty more,
or maybe some of that and plenty more. But first, Adam,
we do like to ask our guest, what is something
from your search history? Well, the most recent thing I
searched was the lyrics to Tiny Dancer, of course, but
but after but before that, it was a cheap Cavalier

(12:54):
King Charles Spaniel. Because I'm I keep edging over the
pandemic about whether I'm going to buy a dog or not.
The latest reason I've decided not to do is they're
so expense How does that work? Edging? Because I keep like,
are you doing something else? Okay, okay, I'm so you're

(13:17):
considering buying a consider it? Yeah, considering. And then like
I get almost to the point where I fill out
the application, I'm like, ah, got they have to eat
and walk. I don't know if I want to do
both of those things, you know, the handwalk. It's too much,
too much for So then the latest reason that I
was like, maybe if I find a very cheap dog,

(13:38):
So I looked for a cheap put that. Make sure
you put that in the search. The initially filter it
out filtering the old Cavalier King yeah, like shit shitty cavalier.
King Charles Great, be great. I'm looking for be Grade
used dogs and he used dogs to purchase. I did

(13:59):
not find one to was less than a thousand dollars
because apparently dogs are there's a major markup on dogs
right now. That's why just rescuing and that dog you
can get free. I so I hopefully my landlord doesn't
listen to podcasts. We are not allowed a dog in
this complex, which is why I need a very I
need a quiet dog I can get away with. That's
like the one restriction. So these were a quiet breed.

(14:21):
I was told that is uh. I will say those
were the dogs that we had when we had dogs
and our I P Miles, r I P Finn r
I p Emma. This is not like we we went
through three dogs over the course of the pandemic. This
is over the course of my wife and I being

(14:42):
married for you know, fifteen years. But the one of
the most stressful times of my life was being in
a apartment where we were not allowed to have dogs
and our dog was very quiet, but like just having
to smuggle him in and out every single time, right
a ship and then like having to like, you know,

(15:03):
every everybody you walked past, you were like, are they an?
Are they going to narc on me? So now I
feel like go outside the walls of the apartment complex
and then you know, put on a disguise so that
they don't know it's me, right, and then you like
start to resent your dog. It's tough man, So good
luck though, good luck, thank you. It sounds like I'm

(15:25):
gonna have a great time. I have to do the
whole like, oh where did I get this dog from?
If the landlord drives up or whatever, you throw it
at them, it looks like you have a dog. What
is something you think is overrated? People aren't gonna like
this one. I'm sorry, but I think The Northman's a
little underrated. So you're you're going underrated? No, I am not.

(15:50):
It is over again. Sorry, Yes, forgive me if I
said it wrong. The Northman's a little overrated. Okay. I
know I've never seen it, so I'm not offended. I
don't want to spoil everything, but I can voice my
critique of it very briefly. It is that there's the
protagonist isn't active, which I know is very film schoolly,
but like it's an issue. We're kind of waiting for

(16:13):
him to do something for like about an hour in
the movie, and you're like, well, and then people have
been upset about it being an all white movie, and
then there's been the backlash about you know, well it's Vikings.
And my backlash to that is they got Bjork as
a blind crow wizard, So I don't think they needed
to like get super like historically accurate with this movie.

(16:33):
I think they could think they could have maybe branched
that a little bit. Uh So that's kind of you
know what I mean. It's also like we're not telling
a real story, you know, like let's you know, let's
get past that. I think, right, So it is it
is based on I haven't seen it. I do know
that it's based on Hamlet, which Hamlet pretty passive or

(16:55):
pretty not active as far as protagonists go. But because
of the Shakespearean lane, which because of like how good
he is that. I don't know if you've heard of
this guy Shakespeare, but he's pretty good at like bringing
the interiority of his characters out so that you can
like kind of ride with them, and like like Michelle Gondry, yeah, yeah,
but like yeah, yeah, but they don't quite carry it

(17:18):
off the same way they do in Hamlet, which is
my favorite movie Hamlet because I'm I'm very well educated.
Kenneth Brown on one is just just so exactly the play. Yeah,
Hamlet is an interesting character, but because he tells you
what he thinks, when you don't have that, it's you know,

(17:39):
it's not by the way, it's not bad. I just
think the people who are hype about it are not
a little bit over What do they mean? What are
the reasons people are hyped about it because it's Superman
anything like this. It is very metal. There is a
naked volcano fight in it. There is there is a
actual capturing a village, lots of one shot, you know,

(18:00):
which is very cool. And it looks period accurate, you know,
and it's it's intense. So I don't want to take
that away from it. It is all those things. But
I really like Robert Eggers. What's your favorite Eggers? The Lighthouse?
Have you guys see the Lighthouse? The Lighthouse? You do
not like it? I'm excited. I'm excited to see The Northman,
but I just like never it's hard to see movies

(18:21):
when you got kids. Like I just never like the
timing never lined up, so I was very excited to
see it. And I really liked the Lighthouse. I really
liked the witch which and yeah, I think he does
a good job of like making history as weird as
it probably was, barring any crow wizards. I like his

(18:41):
weird witchcraft thing, like, I like that. I like that
it keeps popping up in all of his movies, like
the Lighthouse was fantastic, like the weird sea shanties and
stuff like count me In, Captain Bullshit, count me In.
I like it. Yeah, and then it was like lies probably,
but yeah it I loved it. So I'm excited, and

(19:04):
you're it's it's the my favorite type of overrated when
I still like, I'm excited to see that now because okay,
good good yeah yeah, so yeah, and I don't expect
it to be perfect, so I'm excited. What something do
you think is underrated, Adam? So I have one obvious
one which came to me first, which was David Lynch's
weather reports. Are you guys? Are you guys today? Friday

(19:29):
June in Los angele can believe it? Yeah, just with
this with his numbers of the day, it's just I
love his I love his weird bullshit. But the one
that I think is a little bit more fun is
that the game Cyberpunk seven, a game that has become
become just so maligned because of the botched launched, So

(19:52):
you guys probably even heard about it. I imagine, oh yeah,
I game, but I stayed a weight from it because
I remember everyone's like, dude, if you if you don't
even like the PS five, like, well the PS five
version might be better, and they're like, yeah, yeah, well
it's good. It's a good game, has it. It's come
back around now, and it was always it was always

(20:14):
a pretty good game. But they also have fixed it
now so that it doesn't have the major performance issues
and it's just a really good game. And it's kind
of one of those like, yeah, I get that people
feel betrayed, but like, just play it. You'll have like
you'll have a good time. And it's I love the
cyberpunk vibe in general, and you know, so if you're
into that. It's not like the deepest Harlan Ellison the

(20:34):
East cyberpunk fiction or anything, but it's a cool game,
you know, So I I recommend it for people not
appreciating how good it actually is. Is it on? Is
there there a discount yet? Pretty sure? Pretty sure? It's
pretty cheap. Again, like they're they're trying to move it,
especially on PlayStation, if you have a PlayStation, they're trying
to move it. Okay, Yeah, it's a game that, like

(20:55):
you can it's not a game you like beat in
a certain number of hours like you're you're still just
like playing it. Well, it does have it has a
limited amount of content, but like I would say, it's
about a sixty hour game. In your case, Jack, I
don't know that your children will be ready for cyberpunk
kind of. I wouldn't play in front of them. Hey man,
throw them in the deep end, just like I taught

(21:15):
him how to dad. Why are they getting surgery where
they have metal arms and stuff? You have to explain
all that, uh you know. But yeah, it's a it's
a long game, and it's one of those like I
think the smaller nonsense and most games is actually the
best stuff in this game, like just the go take
a guy who's dick malfunction to a to a robot doctor.

(21:37):
It's funny, it's wrong quest that kind of stuff, you know,
it's great the community out, Yeah, help him out. Was
like that. My question, being like, you're still playing a
game like a couple of years later, is kind of stupid,
Like you wait, you you like that movie, but isn't
it only an hour and a half long? That's over right?

(21:59):
Why why do you still like it? Well, there are
a lot of games like that, in your defense, there
are games that go on and on and on. This
is just not one of those games, right, Yeah, okay,
so it does have a timeline on it. Yeah, break
it all right, let's take a quick break. We'll be
right back, and we're back and we might get gun

(22:33):
laws there. There's you know, I just following this from
the headlines. I've read that it's sweeping gun reform, and
I've also seen that it's like not not so sweeping. Um,
And I just had this sneaking suspicion that if the
Republicans were going to let it through, that it might
not be the game changer that we were all like

(22:57):
kind of hoping for it to be short barely if
Mitch McConnell's bought into it also along with Pelosi, Schumer,
and Biden. But yeah, I'll just say, like we've been
saying the same fucking thing for decades now, like get
rid of the fucking assault weapons, very easy, right, there

(23:21):
was like the biggest calls were for that, or like
raising the age, like you know, like you're bringing up
a couple of weeks ago, jack, like how you can't
fucking rent a car unless you're a certain age because
they're like, we don't want to give you fucking destructive,
destructive technologies and you barely could get over your favorite
band break. Also the age that in Israel that where

(23:43):
they don't allow you to buy a gun until you're twenty. Interesting.
This bill does not ban a RS, it does not
ban high capacity magazines. It does not raise the age
to purchase a fire arm, but it does make some

(24:03):
gun dealers have to get a couple more licenses. It
does allow for authorities to look at people's juvenile records
if they're buying a gun between eighteen and twenty. Okay,
that's an incremental thing, but not no nowhereen you're sweeping. Uh,
there's some money for school safety, a couple bucks for

(24:24):
mental health, and more jail for gun traffickers. Got it?
What does gun school safety look like? Is that guns
in schools. That's the concern, right, just kind of side
of an every school building looking like Commando out here
that they are working with an upstart ceo by the

(24:46):
name of Miles Dyson who's working has startups called sky Net.
Yeah act yeah, yeah, yet got a family, seems like
a good person. But yeah, even like we're talking a
lot about that off my three options for a terminator,

(25:07):
but like, yeah, it falls woefully short, right, and when
you even here money for school safety, it's going to
be for stuff that you know, like like the hardening
up of a soft target type ship, rather than like
addressing the just just in control, uncontrollable amount of weapons
that are just circulating in the country. They are what
band so the thing that we've seen work in our lifetime,

(25:30):
like after they did they are band well in like
the nineties they did one time. I'm assuming like our
listeners were alive in the nineties. That might not be fair,
but we've seen that work. They will not be re
implementing that. No, there will not be because again we
talk about this a lot. If if you can't sell

(25:52):
assault rifles, that means gun manufacturers make less of the
money's so, yeah, that arguments. So you're gonna make me
stop pay selling my fucking weapons, asshole. Okay, I'll find
somebody that will protect my business and I'll primarry you.
You know, those are like the forces at work for

(26:12):
a lot of these gun humping Congress people. But again
it's woefully short of being transformative. But because Congress has
done so little in terms of gun control, this allows
like the like mesmerized journalism industry to be like, wow,
this is pretty significant, sure compared to how little has

(26:34):
been done, But that's disingenuous to act like this should
provide some relief. This is just further indication that the
federal government is completely incapable of tackling a big issue
like this. It's all just like this incrementalism. While again
it wasn't enough that like thirty one people died in
mass shootings between Buffalo and NuVal Day, and this is

(26:56):
still like that energy is already, you know, it seems
really toward a news cycle, you know, like this seems
like a decision that's geared towards like something was done,
therefore we can move on, you know, like not at
all addressing the serious issue here. I was, I was
stunned to hear. This is the most comprehensive legislation since

(27:17):
ninety three. Looking at like the other issues that are
having on are that they're experiencing and negotiating between Democrats
and Republicans right now. One of the things that's up
in the air are both parties tussling over defining what
an abusive partner is because there are loopholes around you know,

(27:38):
people with domestic violence records being able to obtain weapons.
This is from an AP article quote. Federal law bars
people convicted of domestic violence against a spouse from acquiring guns,
but leaves a loophole for other romantic relationships. Every Town
for Gun Safety, which advocates firearms curbs, says thirty one
states bar convicted domestic abusers from buying fire is, including

(28:00):
nineteen that cover violent dating partners. So, but what senators
are disagreeing over are how to define such relationships, which
is insane. You want to protect the violent dating partners
of the world. You want they need, they need, Like,
how is this not a political loser for them? How
is like being like, we've got to look out for

(28:22):
the rights of people who have been convicted of domestic assault,
but not the police not to. But also it's not
as though the only people that are in jeopardy from
like mass shootings are romantic partners. Like how about maybe
if you do any violence that you're I think that
you might not be how about that? Are you know?

(28:42):
Like those are typically predictors. I feel like maybe for Democrats,
Republicans are like, well, maybe most Americans can agree you
shouldn't be abusing a romantic partner. And if that is
off the table, to get your guns and probs like whoa, whoa,
whoa whoa? What's even like? What is it like a
date or like two dates? Like are you kid? It's
like do you hook up? Like what's like that's what
they're fucking fighting over and like Chris Murphy's like, dude,

(29:06):
they'll like it should be if you've been convicted at all,
It doesn't matter what the context was. It shows that
you are you are you are abusive, that you are
willing to use violence to express your anger or something
like that, that that should immediately What is possible argument
against that? Like what what are the Republicans saying that

(29:29):
it's okay, it's less it's less violent if you're doing
it to someone who you're not married to. It's so
it's so confusing, it's so transparently like wrong, but that
that I don't that that it's getting held up when
it should just be like again for an up and
down vote, Like I'd imagine most people of good conscience
would be like, yeah, if you're an abusive partner in

(29:51):
any fucking relationship, doesn't matter, Like what were they married?
Like what what? What is your mean? What is your
idea even of like a violent person? If I hit
my friend, I shouldn't be able to buy a gun,
you know what I mean? Like it's as simple as that,
Like it's when playing video games, maybe you shouldn't know

(30:13):
what's what's considered a control. I mean, yeah, let's let's
talk about that. And what's throw like the TV on
the ground up in the air. Yeah, come on, if
you throw it up in the air saying whoopy, then
that's okay. But if you throw it while uttering an expletive,
I don't know. I don't want you to have a gun.
This feels like the Vince mcman coro Larry by the way,

(30:35):
I'm sneaking that story and like like how like this
feels like the kind of debate that's happening among people
who pay for n D as you know what I mean,
or like or like have mistresses or whatever, like why
I want to still be able to hit my mistress?
How are we going to get it? And I have
so many guns? How can I keep my world the
way it is? You know, it reveals like just sort
of how normalized that thinking is too, that like immediately

(30:59):
the idea of violence or domestic abuse isn't like Nope,
that's it, that's it, Like that's I don't give a ship.
Most people aren't violent like that to act like to
try and make excuses for that only furthers just like
sort of dark cloud that we have and wondering like
when the next thing is going to happen, and um,
you know we again like we have to just reduce

(31:21):
the number of these fucking war guns that we have
like that that that just get in the hands of whoever.
But again, every you see everything that's happening, like I said,
it means massive profits profit losses for gunmakers. So then
that's that's not that's not right. Then they'll say it's
a mental health issue, But we aren't seeing anything that
resembles like a massive overhaul of how we look at

(31:42):
mental health access in the country. So miss me with that.
And if anything, this bill has probably just created more
potential prisoners. Like that's where they're like, well, well there's
that because if we go too far then it becomes
a problem. I mean, mental health is such a red
herring right where it's like, sir, solve that too, well,

(32:04):
then okay, if you can't do guns. It's like the
word comprehensive, and this is the most comprehensive gun reform.
That's a bit. That's a big word. What what do
we know? It has the most laws right and again,
like it just feel like put your effort in that
that that would have untold benefits, even if not to

(32:25):
say like forget gun control, but like, if you're that serious,
actually take that, take that challenge up and try and
create like beneficial access for people who have who would
need mental health support. Like you would see that that
effect pretty clearly over like the course of the years
of a program like that. But again, you know, I

(32:45):
don't they'd rather just say there's some money there and
keep it moving. While essentially, because here's the deal, both
parties know they're gonna get fucking heat for doing funk
all again, like Republicans, you know, whether or they fear
their own voters, but independence not voting for them, or
Democrats definitely hearing it from the base or you know,

(33:07):
parts of the base being like, what the funk is
going on over there? So they are it's not like
in the rite up so like, and they're doing their
best to conclude a deal because both parties are motivated
to get a deal done in time for the July
fourth recess. God, and then you're like, you fucking losers. Really, well,
we have summer fridays. Uh, so we're gonna be taking

(33:29):
out Fridays and then of course recess July fourth, at
which point we will not be working. We can't work
in the summer. It's so hot. You can't dodd, you
can't even think, you see how we have to dress. Yeah,
but yeah, that's the current back and forth with our
quote unquote gun control legislation. Well, from my end, I've

(33:53):
now taste test Amountain Dew spark. It delivers on promised stuff,
favorite profile of Raspberry limb ade and as with most
Mountain Dew flavors, it requires willpower for me to stop
myself from drinking the whole bottle. It's it's it's liquid candy.
It's too it's too good. It should also be banned.

(34:16):
But does it leave a good taste in your mouth?
Or is it one of those things you gotta keep
drinking it to avoid that taste? You know, it's a
I've always felt like Mountain dew finishes very clean compared
to other sodas. Yeah, personally, so this is this is
no different. It's just you know, it feels almost like
you're drinking liquid sugar, which is what you are doing.

(34:40):
So Flame and Hot has two eighty calories per bounce bottle.
The Spark has two, So they've really sugared that one
up too. But you know, let's let's talk real quick.
There just seems to be more mainstream adoption of the
storyline should by really run again for president? There there's

(35:04):
this Atlantic article that's like quoting anonymous senior administration officials,
but it's it's just generally it has the vibe of
like checking in with an elderly relative who you're just like,
it's only a matter of time, you know, How's how's
he holding up? How's he doing? In this case I'll
just read like the you know, at first it opens

(35:28):
like people are like, yeah, he's doing great. You know,
he seems good for his age, for his age. He
you know, he's little down in the dumps because his
approval rating is lower than he wants it to be.
And then it comes with this paragraph. But there's another
recurring theme I keep hearing, notably from people predisposed to
liking the president. He just seems old. Administration official told

(35:52):
me that the social function a few weeks ago, there's
nothing like the U. S. Presidency to accelerate the aging process.
This is has been well documented, usually in those side
by side photos of spry incoming presidents seen next to
dramatically older looking who live here. Yeah right, Yeah, Yet
Biden keeps insisting he will run again. The White House

(36:14):
reaffirmed as much on Monday night via tweet from the
President's press secretary. So that was this past not yesterday,
but the day before to be clear, as the President
has said repeatedly he plans to run in She wrote,
it was an instant classic in the genre of political
statements that raised far more questions than the one they
were supposedly meant to answer. Yeah, man, I mean like this,

(36:37):
this one seems pretty open and shut. Nobody's gonna be Nope.
Look bro, nobody be mad at you just announced. Now
give people time to be like, oh, maybe we could
use a little bit of more left, or you played
the cards close and you know, you have the the
GOP thinking they're going right after Biden and whatever blah

(36:58):
blah blah. But either way, I mean, like, good fucking
I'm just I'm concerned because I remember how much they
lined up behind them during the primaries, and I'm concerned
that these can that these kinds of opinions. They're not
gonna primary um, you know what I mean, Like yeah,
like and they should. It's like Trump. It's like the
same thing with Trump. Right, So it's privately Republicans are

(37:19):
you know, murmuring that they they are afraid that him
being at the top of the ticket will negatively affect
the party's chances in an election. Yeah, but like you
have to get the buying of every Like it's not
just the people in Congress or the d NC, there's
a whole donor class. You also have to get their
buying on or else they're gonna be like, no, we
want corp bo man to run for president. You talking

(37:42):
about you're gonna run this m But these are things
we get a little weird. Donors have to be like,
there's a global pandemic. Uh, there's a there's a war
in Europe, there's inflation running out of control, there's fascism
on the right. Let's get somebody younger who is ready
to meet any of the challenges, and he's like eighty yeah. Experience.

(38:03):
That's how I love the experience. Like I love the
fact that the if you just like, if his memories
had weight and you took like the weight of all
everything in his head, they would place you sometime like
in the mid seventies. I love that that, like that
that his entire life experience puts him completely out of

(38:26):
step with the massive challenges higher times. But we need
the president to be able to deal with to use
like video game analogy. That's like being like, we need
the world's best Donkey Kong player to come in and
funk these kids up and call of duty because they
have video game experience. I'm like, the game has fucking changed.
There's no barrel stop. That's not happening. This person will

(38:49):
fucking crumble when they get that controller in their hand,
because it's a completely different skill set, a completely different
set of challenges, a completely different level of awareness that
you have to have. And this guy only I'm honest,
honestly the poorest person. He probably knows he's like his grandchild,
you know. And I'm still firmly in the camp of

(39:09):
like better Democrats than outright fascists. But like I just
even if you're operating from that perspective, like we just
we we need a Democrat still in the White House,
this is not this is not it. Like there's there's
nothing he's gonna do that's going to reinvigorate like people's

(39:30):
support for him. For this like version of the Democratic Party.
You need to like go left and young, further left
and younger. He doesn't realize that there is no going
back to pre Like that's the fact that he can't reconcile,
you know, Like the landscape is permanently this way. You know.

(39:51):
I remember when we used to be able to eat
lunch together and right, great, But that's also when I
was saying real problematic stuff about African Americans kind of
came knock around. Now I've evolved a bit. You're like
what the fuck again? His whole track record is like
you are from a bygone era. You somehow, you, your

(40:11):
corporal existence has managed to get to this point. But
it's that's not enough. That's not enough, and again where
it's it's hard to see how any of we get
the kind of candidate we need within the frame, the
existing framework of the two party system, Like it's but
he's not going to do it. He's not gonna do
it himself. Like he's not gonna come through and like

(40:34):
just be like, yeah, you know what I thought it
through and I'm you know, he's not gonna come out
here like Jumbo and be like you go ahead, Bobby Kennedy,
like you you got this thing? Or could you imagine
like one of his great great grandkids who's like on TikTok,
like makes a video roasting him, and he somehow sees
it and he's like just a single treet here goes

(40:54):
down his face. He's like maybe I'm maybe I'm all
it is all bad. Yeah, maybe I'm fine. That's what
it would take. Like his family. Yeah, I don't. I mean,
how many presidents have ever voluntarily not run twice? I
think it's just LB J like I think that's it
had Uh, he did not volunteer voluntarily. He just got

(41:14):
rinsed Reagan. But like lb J is like the like
that that's who I'm thinking of. I'm like, I'll be
you know. He had the part of the administration that
he finished after Kennedy was assassinated. Then he he had
a full administration, and then he bowed out like unexpectedly
ahead of his he could have run for a second term.

(41:37):
But then, like he he was also at a point
in his life where he was just like fuck it.
Like apparently the day his like his last day in office,
he his daughter like remembers like he started smoking and
she was like what are you doing And he's like,
I quit smoking five years ago for you guys, and

(41:58):
I quit drinking and that's over. Now I'm living for me.
And then like he was dead like two years like
everybody show your scars, your stars, all of you. Yeah
it was, And I just I feel like Biden doesn't
have that in him. He's just like a he's just
gonna keep kind of bopping because he wanted it. That's

(42:21):
what it is, is totally right. It's because he wanted
if he wants so bad for so long. You know,
he's not gonna he's not gonna give up his favorite toy.
And he's optimistic. I mean, look at these Cheerios commercials, Jack,
you go there. I see a Siamese woman with and
it was some else and they were selling yogurt. Progress

(42:45):
baby kids are kids are great at It's a kind
of a larky I can get behind, you know, I
play it square Jack, Uh huh, all right, man, So hopely.
I don't know how how this is accomplished other than
somebody coming through and primarying him. And that does give

(43:06):
me hope, because I do think there's way more like
energy for a left of mainstream Democrat candidate than they
realize there is. And it's probably like I'm hoping somebody
like AOC or something just comes through and primaries him
and they see like how much energy there is. Because
but like anything where he says, okay, I'm not running

(43:28):
and the like mainstream Democratic party gets to like put
their candidate together is not going to go great. Like
who would that be? Who would they put? Would they
put Kamala? Yeah, it'd be I don't know, God, I
don't even want to think about it, they're all they're

(43:49):
all uniquely not great. But again, at the end of
the day, honestly, someone who at least understands, Look, I'm
willing not I don't know if I'm going to say
that now, but would hope that the next slight shift
they give is realized that poor people are suffering in
the United States and that is something that would need
to be addressed. You have to go all in, because

(44:11):
they don't. They never do, but maybe like, uh, something
slightly better, it might help you. But at the end
of the day, it feels I'm just so cynical because
they know right now they have a lot of people
scared with like this binary of like, oh, you're gonna
let this ship happen, alright, so settle for nothing? Yeah, yeah, exactly.
I think the economic disparity, it remains neglected like it was.

(44:35):
It was a huge issue in sixteen. It's worse now,
you know what I mean, Like, and nobody's interested in
addressing it head on except for some a younger candidate.
And at one point it's going to become untenable to
not address it, you know, Like, so maybe that moment
is now, well, the fascists are going to address or later.
I mean, that's what Trump did in twice sixteen. He

(44:55):
just like didn't do shit about it when he was
a popula. Yeah, that's all you got do, because they
don't realize that there's a huge gaping wound, open wound
in most American people that if you press it energizes them.
But if it's pressed the wrong way, yeah, you push
them towards fascism. But most people are willing to accept.
I it is so hard to live in this country

(45:18):
right now. It is so hard to live in this
country right now. And any other ship that's like papering
that over and talking about like, oh, look at our
energy independence, that doesn't mean ship to most people, like really,
and so you're if you surrender the whole narrative to
be able to express to people that you understand what's
going on, dude, that just leaves the space, like you're

(45:39):
saying for someone to come in and say, it's I
and only I who can solve this, and let me
point my fingers at the four groups we need to
eliminate for in order for us to have Netflix cheaper.
If if Tucker Carlson runs, we're fucked, or just santis
even to Santis. Yeah, Santis is dude. He's slick, he's

(46:01):
not stupid, He's he knows, he knows where Trump fucked up, right,
That's the thing, and I think that's what makes it.
I think that's why there's a lot of talk about
him too. They're like, yo, he's on the same path,
but he doesn't he knows how to be less. I mean,
he's also has a ton of gas himself. But he
at least was observing that Trump presidency and was like,
he's competent. My god, what couldn't he do right, Like, yeah,

(46:25):
not get any pre order any vaccines for the youngest
children in Florida, which is this current big boof mistake
boof man, Well, boofing that just means farting. Anyways, who
party with We'll be right back and we're back. And

(46:57):
people are pissed about this light Year, not for the
reasons I'm pissed, which is that I don't understand why
how I just don't understand it. I present this is
the movie based on Andy's favorite movie that toy was based.
It's so it's a nineties movie, like that's what. No, no, no, no,

(47:17):
it's not a nineties movie. I mean, yes, in the
world of this child. It came out in the nineties,
but it was made now with our modern sensibilities. So
I'll just say that one of the people in this
story is the drunkest I've ever seen a human being
in public. I'm not gonna say which of the people
it is, but Patricia Heaton was in what came out

(47:42):
and was like toy story has castrated the buzz light
year by recasting him from Tim Allen, like we need
to protect our Tim Allen, huge mistake, assholes, And some
right wingers seem to think that Tim Allen has been
replaced by isn't because like all the reasons he's bad,

(48:03):
not just like snitching on all the people he dealt
coke with back the day, but more recently he advocated
for Trump. I like how you're going after him for
not having heart as a like a coke dealer. Be like, oh,
because you you got them loose lips hunted him out.
I'm just saying, I have to tighten your ass up
when you on the inside. But he's also pro Trump

(48:25):
claimed that he liked how the former president pissed people
off to say, you're just the most awful fucking person
in he compared being a conservative in Hollywood to being
a victim of the Holocaust, So it's their favorite go to.
I'm they're doing Holocaust to me. Also, Toy Story four
came out after he said that ship, so I don't

(48:48):
think like they're not the right Toy Story four it
came out. I believe, Yeah, I think that's right. Yeah.
So when the trailer for light Year came out, Fox
to propagate the notion that Alan was request because of politics,
and they like put up a picture of Tim Allen,

(49:08):
like very kind and clean cut, and then Chris Evans
like they like darkened his hair and like made him
look like like he's, you know, a Sandinista a little
bit in the picture. It was dumb for like many reasons.
Isn't buzz Lightyear like twenty in this story, Like yeah,

(49:28):
so definitely young. Yeah, Alan, this is like such an
open and shut conversation. Yeah, he sounds old because what
this is where they just use like because no one
on I mean both most people who are so partisan,
they don't they're not analyzing anything. In the headline, they're
like they replace him with Chris Evans. The guy woke

(49:48):
on Twitter that's fucked up. What are they doing? How
could they? And then you're going through the logic of it,
was like, well, you know, this isn't the same buzz
Lightyear that Tim Allen play is in Toy Story, right,
because that's the little fucking toy version of this thing.
But again, that might be a little too much nuance
for the people who are so invested in like this,

(50:11):
like notion that tell you who it would have been
really confusing for if they used Tim Allen the toy
buzz Lightyear. I mean they think about like all the
issues he's had differentiating himself from the real buzz Lightyear,
and then real buzz Lightyear is the same voice as him?
What fucking destroy him? He wouldn't know, You wouldn't know

(50:32):
what to do. There's also like a like cartoon series
where he's voiced by Patrick Warburton for four seasons. Like Kim,
Allen is also one of the most like financially successful
entertainers in of the past like forty years, Like he's
probably like not even taking this role if they turned

(50:55):
it down, yea, if anything. Also, Disney Plus is currently
producing a Santa Claus series starring Tim Allen, so it
would be appreciate cancel him for one project while employing
him to play Santa Claus And where's the where's the
outrage on that? By the way, that just sounds bad bad,
Why are we doing it? From a content perspective? And

(51:16):
then we wanted to talk about Matt Damon real quick
because we think, yeah, ohh yeah, yeah, that's fine, not
because I think he's getting a bad rep. So, you know,
it's like, right at the peak of crypto, he told
people in a in a commercial that fortune will favor
them for being brave, compared investing in crypto to the

(51:39):
right brothers, you know, and then he's kind of getting
dragged online for doing that because everyone's saying, if you
bought a thousand dollars worth the crypto when that commercial aired,
you would only you would have less than four hundred
dollars now, yeah, but also if you thought that a

(52:00):
Super BOWLS advertisement was the beginning of anything, like the
first time anybody had heard of an idea, you don't
really stand how the super Bowl works because no, it isn't. Yeah,
but his ad is seen as like kind of a
turning point or like a main streaming of cryptocurrency. And
it does like coincide with crypto like going mainstream, lots

(52:21):
of money pouring in from people who are now all
much poorer than they were before that moment. I don't
know if it was the Matt Damon d necessarily, but
it did. I remember seeing the ad and being like, oh, wow,
this is we're doing this is all yeah, we're really
doing it. They're like this guy really put himself out

(52:42):
there to look this dumb. I'm like this he realized
what this is gonna look like in a little bit here,
because when you try to buy crypto, that's when you
start realizing this is mostly pirates, you know what I mean,
Like that you gotta have a separate hard drive so
you can't get hacked, and like selling it's not easy
and so on, you know what I mean, Like it right,
like straight up, it is on par with like those

(53:03):
Toms that like reverse mortgage. It's just he's doing it
two young people instead of the elderly. I mean, at
least you at least you could get some money from
the bank for your reverse That's what you say, Like
from day one, every time I bring up the Tom
selling thing, You're like, actually a great deal. I mean
I told you and listeners, like I said, I trust

(53:25):
a g and so can you not? Commercial is so
fucking malicious. Ship is so fucked up. Yeah, you think
he even thought about that? You think he even thought
about that when he took that gig at all? Yeah,
Like do you think Tom Sell? Do you think he
like do you think he just like sure whatever, just
put the camera on me, I'll say it. Or do

(53:47):
you think like he does have a feeling when you
get to that age, like the deals weren't that good
when he was coming up, And I don't know what
kind of I p he owns, like back in stuff
or he has like his money keeps coming in. So
I feel like at a certain point, like I see
myself being damn near sixty and shipped up like Zeke gang,
if you need a blood transfusion for water that is

(54:11):
totable for you to drink, please hit up blood. Blood
is thicker than water. But like it seems like for
him they put it back in front of him. He said, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah yeah. Sorry, can we just get a confirmation yeah
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah. Oh can you sign that
the contract that we you just need to sign yeah yah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, signed, signed, signed.

(54:35):
Oh yeah, it's already back to us. Thanks. He also,
like Tom Selick has like ranches that steal money from
like neighboring ranches, Like he that was something that he
like got in trouble for doing. So he's like all
the way like he's he's just a rich, rich old
guy who's doing doing rich old guys stuff. Ranch stealing

(54:59):
apparently among the things he's doing. Okay, all right, but
it does feel like anybody involved in a crypto ad,
and I'm gonna go ahead and include my my good
friend Joel em being seventy six ers great m VP
runner up for the past i think three years in
a row. He like, as the ship was hitting the fan,

(55:22):
like as everything was going falling completely apart in the
world of crypto, he debuted in an edge that was
like not not only was it like crypto is good,
but it compared people who doubted him to people who
doubted crypto, which is like, so yeah, I mean all

(55:43):
of them, Lebron fucking Larry David, Like, shame on all
these fucking people who came out here to normalize this ship,
because at the end of the day, the whole point
of all this ship with n f T s, with
the celebrity endorsements is to normalize crypto so more people
take their their their actual dollars convert them to crypto,

(56:06):
so these fucking whales who are holding on the massive
amounts can finally liquidate their ship and get out. That's
all they need. But there's not enough liquidity in the
market for them. They're like, well, then figure out how
we get more people to get in here. I don't
know seller fucking wu tang album as an n f
T please, And that's where we're at. And and and

(56:26):
that's why you see like the like you now, there's
like constant like there's so many n f T podcasts
that I look, they don't even exist anymore, Like they
stopped just because some people realize, like, oh man, this
is all bad, and like even if I believed in it,
I literally have nothing. So what the funk am I
going to say right now and be like, Hey, check
out this new one called whatever the background monkeys from

(56:49):
the film Congo, where it's all based on some of
the background guerrillas from Congo. It's really cool stuff. Michael
Crichton is not involved them I just wish Matt Damon
had followed the advice of this a list actor who said,
I really wish I had listened a lot more before
I weighed in on this. And that's a quote from
Matt Damon when talking about about his decision to weigh

(57:11):
in on the me too movement, by being like, well,
we gotta we gotta figure out like their spectrums here, right,
Like there's some people do sexual assault and some people
are just you know, grabbing your butt on set, and
like those are different things. And and then people were like, hey, man,
shut the funk up, and he was like, oh, I
really wish I had like done a little bit more

(57:31):
reading and listening before I weighed in on this one.
So maybe if he had only been able to learn
that piece of wisdom from himself before digging in on
this crypto, he might he might have been in better shape.
The phrase he used was patting someone on the butt,
like he's a football coach out there right run around set,

(57:52):
good jobs, good job camera guy. If I want to
run around and give everyone a little had on the
rear and tell him good hustle, just a little hini pad.
But yeah, this is what happens when we're we're taking
cues from celebrities who have never had a moment of

(58:13):
real introspection in their lives and are just driven by
like they're like career momentum. And so you're gonna hear
wacky ship like that or like a fortune favors the broke,
I mean, the bold, the yeah, and it's also good,
like this is why America operates the way it does,
Like that Damon didn't start out as like a generationally

(58:35):
wealthy person. But once you become rich and famous, like
all of a sudden, all the people like you have
the opportunity and it's probably the easier thing to do
for just everybody around you to be somebody who is
interested in making money off of you, making money for you,

(58:56):
and also like golfing with you at whatever fucking tree
club that you belong to. You know. So it's like
he doesn't he's completely insulated, like for other than if
he watches his movie Elysium and is like, oh, yeah, something,
it seems like throwing eggs at them, you know, just

(59:17):
because that's that's all you think about. All the small
like small time like retail investor type people who probably
got totally duped into this with promises of like, this
is the new way to build generational wealth because a
lot of people are my my age, you know, and young,
like especially millennials. Fuck man, like, we we watched like

(59:39):
a lot of opportunities for financial like for any kind
of wealth building just fucking vanish into thin air. So
it makes sense that something that comes on the heels
of the two thousand eight crisis promising to be the
new way to like not be connected to all the
factory of our other centralized financial systems, you know, gets
people thinking in this and feeling like, oh, this is

(01:00:00):
how I can do something for myself, only for it
to be a fucking op and turn you into a
bag holder. What's funny is that Matt Damon should have
been like the canary in the coal mine, that this
was no longer the sort of cool internet thing that
crypto was pretending to be for years and years before that,
Like doge coin was a story before this happened, right
where doese coin like went up by a hundredfold in

(01:00:22):
a six month period of time, right, and that was
such a like, yeah, it's a dog and it means nothing.
That's red, right, But once Matt David's the guy advertising it,
you should know there is no more doge coin, you know,
Like that's that, that whole vibe is over. Ultimately, it's
the game of like being the first one there and
then tricking a bunch of other people to get into
giving you their money. And by the time Matt Damon

(01:00:42):
is doing Super Bowl commercials for it, seems like that
ship might have sailed. So yeah. Cool and for someone
who cares so much about the environment to Matt Damon
or supposedly like you should know, how much of a
fucking like drain. Yeah he was in that water project, right,
He was doing that water project for years and years, right, yeah, Yeah,
it's a weird stealing water from the neighboring ranch of

(01:01:04):
Tom Selleck, that one pirates water deal. It's like that
one from Chinatown. He was part of that. Yeah, yeah, exactly,
that's the real water project. Adam Ganzer, such a pleasure

Great to have you here. Is there a tweet or

(01:02:09):
some of the work of social media you've been absolutely
I wanted to briefly drop two quick things. One is
the Instagram stories of the Real Indian Dad. If you
don't know who that is, he's just like a guy
who's married to an influencer, and he's just kind of
a He's very funny in a very normal guy way.
And I it's just always him pranking his wife and

(01:02:30):
she's but not in a malicious way. It's like just
making her laugh while she's doing her stuff, which I
really like and also like a more serious one. I
really enjoy the feed of Elizabeth Brunik, who's on Twitter.
She's a journalist. She writes for the Atlantic. She wrote
a story recently that I have been thinking a lot about,
called A culture that kills its children has no future.
It's in The Atlantic. Check that out. She's always tweeting

(01:02:52):
stuff that I think is really cool and profound. So
give her a phone. Cool miles, Where can people find you?
What a tweet you've been enjoy uh? If i'd me
on Twitter and Instagram at Miles of Gray. Also check
out a new podcast that I helped produce about the
corruption at FIFA, the governing body of world football. It's

(01:03:12):
called Lords of Soccer uh, and it was produced by
like an external team that we worked with here at
I Heeart. But it's a dope if you like true
crime or sports or really understanding how greed can absolutely
up end things like the World Cup. Like right now,
we should be having a World Cup, but because of
the corruption that they FIFA sold it to cutter and
now it's happening in November, in the middle of everyone's

(01:03:35):
domestic season. And this is a great sort of entry
point into the whole scandals. They're like from the beginning,
so you kind of get this really full formed picture
of FIFA and the greed over there, So please if
you wouldn't mind checking that out, I would appreciate the support.
It's called Lords of Soccer and it's on the I
Heart Network. Um and also obviously check out mad boost Ease,

(01:03:55):
Mile Jackot Mad boost Ease and for fiance a tweet
that out like first one is from Craig Calcatera. At
Craig Calcatera, he said, it's things like this that keep
me from even even thinking about quitting this website. And
John Hinckley was released from prison and tweeted at John
Hinckley tweeted after forty one years, two months in fifteen days,

(01:04:16):
freedom at Last. Then someone underneath replied, John, check out
Jersey Mikes. You will not regret it. Stupid, but like
facts like please let him let him know. I just
love somebody who was like, yo, bro, you gotta try
Jersey Mike. I know you just got out love that ship.

(01:04:39):
Then another one is from at stop It. Guh tweeted
two albums in eight months. I know a degenerate gambler
when I see one. And that's a reference to Drake
because apparently he's been losing a lot of money and
he just dropped a surprise album on Friday Night on
People and then uh lastly at Harley Bagdad tweeted me

(01:04:59):
on the internet, the economy isn't even real. It's all
made up me in real life. I fucking love twenty dollars.
Uh yeah, I'm team twenty dollars too. I'm a big fan.
One of my favorite things to have. Let's see some

(01:05:19):
tweets I've been enjoying. You can find me on Twitter
at Jack Underscore O'Brien and uh on Miles and Jack
Got Matt boost These an NBA podcast at wet Mayor tweeted,
God gives his earliest bedtimes to his most tuckered out
little guys, and I think that's true. Whoa Bob Mackie

(01:05:46):
tweeted before he was Andy's toy, he was in Andy's
favorite movie. Oh so, Late Year is a fun, high
concept send up of nineties action blockbusters. Absolutely not what
gave you that idea, which exp rest is my issues
with I'm not I'm not letting this ship go you guys.
Late Year doesn't make sense. It would be awesome if

(01:06:08):
they did that, though, Like that, like that would be
really good. Yeah. Yeah. The mcgruber version of the nineties
action film with Buzzler. I'm into it. And then on
the on that same subject, Andrew Nado tweeted, they should
make more movies about the guy about the Guy's toys
are based on I want to see what happened to
Furby to make him so fucked up dark like Red

(01:06:37):

song to kick off the Tuesday. It's called you Can
Be a Star Uh by Luther Davis. I don't know
when this song from the origins of it. It just

(01:07:21):
popped up on like a suggested playlist and it's like
this like really upbeat, funky disco track which sounds maybe Look,
there's so many artists now who record on like old
like tape and things and microphones that you couldn't tell
if it was recording the seventies or not. I have
a feeling this is probably like an older like this
is from that time, but it just reminds it reminds

(01:07:42):
me of like if Desmond and lost in the hatch,
Like if if he was black, he probably would have
been playing this record every day like to like wake
up in his like weird dystopian bunker pit. But either way,
for your dystopian bunker pit, you will love this. It's
called You Can Be a Star by Luther Davie. Wow right, Well,
