Speaker 1 (00:05):
Some of that beat beat give me some of that
Hong Kong. I think it should have just been a
song about cars. Personally, I think.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
How is that not in the car commercial game?

Speaker 1 (00:15):
Some of that beat beat gave me some of that
Hong Kong. Throwing the car in reverse then switching to drive.
What a smooth ride.

Speaker 2 (00:29):
The new Honda Laundra. How does that not happen already?

Speaker 3 (00:35):
I mean, yeah, that should have been a kids Bop song.

Speaker 4 (00:38):
Are you sure it wasn't it? Because they turned those
around pretty fast. I think there was a little gap
when that song came out and he was still socially
acceptable Kids Bop remix.

Speaker 3 (00:51):
There's no official Kids Pop version sorry, Kelly's Ignissian remix.

Speaker 2 (00:56):
Official version.

Speaker 3 (00:57):
Come on, that's on Kids Bop. That's Kids Pop fucked up. Yeah,
they've never I mean that's a good good thing. They
never did at Kids Bob.

Speaker 4 (01:06):
I mean they've gone pretty far before. I think in
the songs they've chosen, then the lyrics they've decided to
switch up. I just I don't have any examples on deck,
but I know they've had.

Speaker 1 (01:17):
Like they did thrift Shop r Kelly's Piss It was
like Mark Kelly's sheets.

Speaker 2 (01:23):
Okay, yeah, there you go. It's adjacent sells.

Speaker 3 (01:27):
Like my baseball cleats.

Speaker 2 (01:28):
You that's what it was.

Speaker 1 (01:29):
Yeah, did they really it was something like that.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
Yeah, it was.

Speaker 3 (01:33):
It was smells like my baseball cleats.

Speaker 1 (01:37):
Will nas Ex's Montero. They changed the lyrics shoot a
child in your mouth while I'm riding into put a
smile on your mouth whilst we're dining.

Speaker 3 (01:50):
I mean, if you have to rework a cum joke
or cum lyric, it can't. It has to be immediately disqualifying.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
The original is put a smile in your mouth while
I'm riding. So it's not shoot a child in your
mouth either, because that would be difficult.

Speaker 3 (02:09):
Yeah, depends on a smile.

Speaker 5 (02:11):
But anyway, Uh, hello the Internet, and welcome to Season
four thirteen.

Speaker 2 (03:00):
Well, maybe it's from all the leftover Halloween candy. Maybe
it's when you eat the rest of the butt.

Speaker 3 (03:05):
I think that's what it is.

Speaker 1 (03:06):
Probably if I had to guess, I'd say it's the
all the dang leftover Halloween candy.

Speaker 3 (03:11):
But I feel like then they would say it would
be like leftover candy Day.

Speaker 1 (03:16):
But well, what is fresh candy?

Speaker 3 (03:19):
Yeah, that's true candy.

Speaker 1 (03:23):

annual butter fingers.

Speaker 3 (04:23):
Yeah, with a hollowed out big pen. You know how
to You know how to take the center out of
a big pen so you got the tube so you
can beam up real quick. I know how to do
that just from being a person who nervously chewed pens
my whole life.

Speaker 1 (04:34):
Oh and then they came apart, like, oh that's a tube.
Oh my god, he's got black ink coming out of
his mouth.

Speaker 3 (04:41):
Again.

Speaker 2 (04:41):
I know how to do that from from Saw five
when Strom is about to drown the death but he
stops himself in the neck with a hollow pen ship And.

Speaker 3 (04:50):
We don't recommend that. Don't do that. Don't do that.

Speaker 3 (05:01):
Shout out to the people that have been listening to
the kids box Ed it's of the episode.

Speaker 2 (05:05):

that people do though people are drowning.

Yeah, you have to.

Speaker 3 (05:12):
Like choking joking. Yeah, yeah, if it's if you got
something lodge in your throat, you go below.

starts choking, just reach for the nearest pen.

Speaker 3 (05:25):
Yeah, you could get it in there. They could die.
You already have when you're like, wait, why do you
already have one question? If someone give me a lighter
and a gum wrapper with paper on it so I

because we were talking about how people are not even

vaccinating their.

Speaker 1 (06:27):
Refuse to vaccinate my pet because I feel like it's
I had a dog before those into trains.

Speaker 7 (06:35):
So what is cat autism? No wonderful question that nobody
no such, no single answer. I think every cat has
a hyper fixation, that's true.

Speaker 2 (06:47):

back and forth that wants to grow.

like the owners like this, But the ownership of the
team is backward evil teams of all time. Yeah, yeah exactly.
They're like, yeah, we're invested in for profit prisons and
turning a blind eye to ice goons. But either way,

(08:32):
like it is It is wild to just see because
you know, like every city, any city that's been invaded
by ice goons. You just any moment that brings people
together like in a joyful way, like we're gonna take it.
We'll take it absolutely.

Speaker 1 (08:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (08:45):
But yeah, I mean they'll they'll be happy about it
until ICEA the port show.

Speaker 3 (08:50):
Right, yeah, right, exactly, God, oh gosh that think about
that for a slack ount. Can you imagine that the
Blue Jays fans been like, I'd like to report.

Speaker 1 (09:04):
English.

Speaker 2 (09:05):
She's been doing gambling and gambling and he doesn't speak English.

Speaker 3 (09:10):
Hold on, hold on, illegal gambling. Eyes here for this.
If it's people of color and illegal.

Speaker 2 (09:14):
Gambling and illegal gambling, yeah, it's our country.

Speaker 3 (09:17):
Hasn't hasn't even learned the language. I'm just saying.

Speaker 2 (09:20):
It's so funny because you watched him in the dugout
and you're like, this motherfucker knows English.

Speaker 1 (09:24):
Oh yeah, yeah, he's like cutting it like I don't
want to talk to these people to the.

Speaker 3 (09:30):
It's also like a Japanese thing to like not want
to speak your whatever, like in development English, like it's
just more comfortable speaking as you can with the translator to.

Speaker 1 (09:40):
Come out in two seasons and be like, hey, my
name is Sho, you know, just like right, yeah, just
like wait, what the fuck?

Speaker 2 (09:48):
Hey, my name is.

Speaker 3 (09:50):
Sorry he actually has a Midwestern accent for some reason,
Like yeah.

Speaker 1 (09:55):
Hey, raised in Tokyo, don't you know? Yeah, so we're
up there in Tokyo. Then right off the line, Janey,
we're thrilled to have you here. We're gonna get to
know you a little bit better in a moment. First,
we're going to tell the listeners a couple of things
we're talking about today. We're talking about yet another upside
of what could happen if Zoran Mam Donnie wins the

(10:20):
mayoral election today.

Speaker 3 (10:22):
Today, it's happening today.

Speaker 1 (10:24):
The mainstream media is a wash in breathless reports that
the race is tightening and that Cuomo is the comeback kid.
And then you know, big breaking news that nine percent
of New Yorkers have said that they will definitely leave
the city if.

Speaker 3 (10:41):
Mam Donnie is elected.

Speaker 1 (10:43):
So we're going to talk about we're going to talk
about that, really, I'm sure to people who live in
New York, very scary propositions.

Speaker 2 (10:51):
Nine that was not any different than when like, like
Trump is elected. Never owns like, oh I'm moving to Canada.

Speaker 3 (10:58):
Yeah yeah, yeah, some moving the camp, most don't. Most don't.

Speaker 1 (11:02):
I feel like the people it's all like millionaires and billionaires.
So they might leave.

Speaker 3 (11:05):
Actually, but they're not.

Speaker 1 (11:07):
It never happened.

Speaker 3 (11:08):
I think they just won't.

Speaker 1 (11:09):
It'll be like we'll just like spend more time at
their second home, which, like I do think is a benefit. Like,
I think this is great news for anybody who was
on the fence about whether they were voting for Zoran.

Speaker 3 (11:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (11:20):
I truly don't think any of that will happen.

Speaker 2 (11:22):
I'm gonna be like so honest, I'm gonna have to
just an empty threats a drill New York City. They're
gonna leave New York City or not. I have to
rent out my Brownstone.

Speaker 1 (11:34):
Now we're gonna talk about Mega's hit couple, Erga Kirk
and JD Vans and like just the there's some there's
something going on. There's even if there's just us, not
just us that's on the front page of Drudge Report,
they're like, what, Yeah, they're doing the Britney Broski face.

(11:54):
We'll talk about meta switching to ai ads and what
that's going to look like.

Speaker 3 (11:58):
For all of us.

Speaker 1 (12:00):
Good. It's gonna look good, I can predict. Mariah Carey
announced the Christmas season by endorsing like union busting, I
think in her latest UH we Love Time, We love
that for her time for the Holiday Season video. And
then uh, breaking news who wrote the teenage Mutant? This

(12:23):
has been out there for years breaking. This is breaking
news in our in our world. So we're going to
talk about that all that plenty more. But first, Janie,
we do like to ask our guest, what is something
from your search history that's revealing about who you are?

Speaker 2 (12:37):
Yeah? So, I, uh, I don't know how I came
across this, but I've came across this thing called tenter Battles.
And I don't why am I saying I don't know
how to I came across this. I was on Twitter
and I found this video of this. These guys and
like some kind of stadium auditorium, perhaps a hotel lobby

(13:01):
they rented out, and they're they got these windows and
they're putting this shiny stuff on the windows and they're
like spraying it and they're going, oh you tinting windows, windows.
It's competitive windows. And I mean, I feel like every

(13:23):
one of us in the world is guilty of just
like consuming a lot of slop.

Speaker 3 (13:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (13:29):
Yeah, we're living in slop world. It's it's the slop society.
But cultural ice age is what I've heard a lot too,
straight up lots thirty minutes of fucking window tinterer battles,
and I don't I like when I when I saw
this in my email, like oh, search history, I'm like,
what what is there? And I realized that was the
most recent thing I looked up, and it just really

(13:51):
made me think about like how many niche little competitive
events like remember like like cup stocking and like all
these fun, little like niche competitive events, And I mean,
honestly kind of gives me a little bit of hope,
like like I like that people are into weird things,
like like it looked like this event costs money, and

(14:14):
that there was people that like money to go do it.
Once I knew this girl who was really into the vehicle,
the Honda Insight, and she was like, I'm driving to
Canada to go to the Honda Insight convention. And I
was like, there's a convention for Honda Insight, specifically their

(14:36):
little car that had like like a half covered wheel
well in the back kind of yeah, it kind of
looked like a hatchback a little bit. I used to
have one, and then someone totalled it because she just
had to get McDonald's one day, and she totaled my
fucking car.

Speaker 3 (14:51):
And I will say I did like that car quite
a bit, that first covered wheel in the back.

Speaker 1 (15:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (15:00):
Yeah, But I was looking through all my stuff as
like identifying this mushroom. It was a dryad saddle.

Speaker 1 (15:07):
Can I eat it?

Speaker 3 (15:09):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (15:10):
Oh you can, you can, but you want to get
a young one. The old ones are leathery owl.

Speaker 1 (15:16):
So far we've endorsed eating strange mushrooms and tracking somebody
who appears in the big pen. Yeah yeah, either drowning
or choking on food.

Speaker 2 (15:26):
It's a fairly common mushroom, I must say, if you
live in the American Southeast.

Speaker 3 (15:31):
Okay, I like the I like this though, because, like
to your point, so much of what you see on
the Internet is just already some version of a trend
or some kind of content that is just doing like
the algorithm is just serving you. So finding human beings
in community exercising like a very specific skill, yeah, is
like super in that's like, yeah, that was like it's

(15:53):
like I was like watching like sound system battles, like
from the Caribbean.

Speaker 1 (15:57):
I've been watching some window Tin competition content since you
mentioned it, and there is something very like I think
there's that subreddit that's like weirdly hypnotizing, like it's got
that energy, but also they're.

Speaker 3 (16:13):
Like not that good, like I think.

Speaker 1 (16:18):
Much ended and it like still had wrinkled in the I'
like to see you do better.

Speaker 2 (16:23):
Oh I would not Windows Competition right now, but.

Speaker 3 (16:26):
You do see the results of bad tint jobs in LS.
The squeeze battle is wild because can you get this spotless?
Nothing better than when.

Speaker 1 (16:39):
You're squeezing something and it's really working.

Speaker 2 (16:41):
I think I think we're all just looking for the
next like subway surfers or family guy clips or.

Speaker 1 (16:50):
Kinetic sand videos.

Speaker 3 (16:52):
Like that's all.

Speaker 2 (16:54):
I guess unless I'm I'm sitting down and I'm watching
a movie and or I'm reading a book. I want
to actually like experience art for what it is. I
think I just want subway surfers, Coco melon Coco Melon contract. Yeah, yeah,
what's was something you thinks underrated? Oh so I had

(17:16):
a few options here, but this is something like that
I thought about while I was on the road, something
I mentioned like just before recording. But like, I don't
I feel like it would be like not fair to
say you said underrated, right I did, Okay, I feel
like it wouldn't be fair to say that country music
is underrated because country music is kind of having a

(17:37):
moment right now. It's I mean, rap music is not
as dominant as it was. Rock music has been dominant
in a while, but country music has never been my
like go to genre. It's not something I dislike, It's
just not really always my go to And I might
be willing to say that country music is actually a

(17:57):
little underrated, at least just for.

Speaker 3 (17:59):
Me, had been underrated by you.

Speaker 2 (18:02):
I think maybe because I am not a very well
traveled person. But now that now that I've hit the
dusty trail a little bit, that I that I've I've rambled,
that I've seen tumbleweeds and saguaro cactuses. Something about making
a trip in a in a vehicle from Houston to
Phoenix will uh, it'll it'll make you wanna, like, you know,

(18:28):
start chainsmoking cigarettes and playing Zach Bryan and sobbing at
a karaoke bar in Houston, like it'll do something to you.

Speaker 1 (18:36):
I also Texas.

Speaker 2 (18:38):
I want to throw in the state of Texas into
the underrated category as well. I was a bit scared
of some of the locations that I had to travel through.
No disrespect to any Texans out here, but it's just like,
you know, I'm trans. I was supposed to be traveling
with five other trans people, ended up being just two
of us for the vast majority, but still two of

(19:02):
us trans people traveling to Like I expected everything to
be like essentially like a PvP zone. The second I
got out of like a major city, and every time
I was like scared to like stop somewhere, everyone was
like so nice. Like like I remember there was like
this like stop somewhere in Arizona where someone was like

(19:23):
it was clear they were about to say like yes sir,
but they were like yes, you have.

Speaker 1 (19:28):
A good day.

Speaker 3 (19:29):
It was just like they were trying.

Speaker 2 (19:32):
Yeah, no, they were trying. Everyone was being like so sweet.
One the one place I got shit was like outside
of a outside of a bar in Houston, and it
was like pathetic And it was like this guy came
up to me and Caroline and he was like, uh,
ern so are you guys like dudes that like think

(19:53):
that you're women or something. I was just like, does
that line ever get you, pussy bro?

Speaker 1 (20:00):
I just got in his car and.

Speaker 2 (20:03):
It was just crazy to me because it's like I
feel like if I was in like South Georgia, someone
would just come up to be able be like you
fucking faggot die, and I would have been like, oh
my god, Like I'm horrified.

Speaker 1 (20:15):
That's horrifying.

Speaker 2 (20:16):
That like that is solidified, pure, unfiltered hatred, and that's terrifying.
But doing this like irm like debate this about yeah, yeah,
just kind of dabbling their toes in this kind of debate.
Lordy way, it was like this is pathetic, but you

(20:38):
gotta you gotta go back to the drawing board. But yeah,
I'm fucking I'm fucking on some some country diddly diddly ship, right,
I don't know, like new.

Speaker 3 (20:47):
Country or just all country. I was.

Speaker 2 (20:49):
I've been listening to Zach Bryant a lot. It's pretty cool,
Like I like, I think I have a new theory
all right, And I've had this theory for a while
that some people don't like, but I tend to say
at least one thing or two that people don't like
every time I come on your show. I do not
like pathetic music. I do not like when someone is
like uh, and this specifically was like rock music and

(21:12):
like emo music, it really badly where someone's like, oh,
I'm a piece of shit. No one fucking likes me,
I'm touching use a piece of shit, and I'm a
bad person. It's like, okay, then I don't want to
listen to you. You're a bad person. You said it
like my music sucks, blah blah Blah's like, all right,
it probably does. I don't want to hear it anymore.
But I've noticed, like country music, when someone is just

(21:36):
really self deprecating and sounds miserable, like pathetic country music,
it just it hits right, it hits different. It has
this like like righteousness to it that I actually find
quite sincere and relatable. And I think that there's like
I think that my theory is that with a lot
of rock music that is pathetic, it's insincere. I don't

(21:58):
think a lot of these people actually think they're pathetic.
Here's my dark song that I think they are raging
narcissists and they are saying that they're pathetic because they
think that that will be like a relatable, like an
amicable feeling with the audience. But I think with country
music they're actually because it's such like a rugged kind

(22:20):
of masculine genre, like to begin with, I think that
there's like such so much more of a sincerity to
being like vulnerable, like.

Speaker 1 (22:28):
That they're discovering vulnerability for the first time, and it's
so profound that they had to write a song about it.
Have you guys heard about this? This is fucking weird.

Speaker 2 (22:37):
Yeah, yeah, no, the guy takes acid and discovers empathy
for the first time. It's like, you know, I'm happy
you came around to it. It's good to have.

Speaker 3 (22:47):
Let's take a quick break. We'll come back. We'll get
your overrated and get into some news, and we're back.
We're back, And Jennie, we do like to also ask
our guests, what is something you think is overrated?

Speaker 2 (23:08):
Yeah, so I'm glad I used that one because it
ties in with my overrated one. And this is a
theme that's just been coming back a lot, especially over
like our troubles and trips with like touring and everything.
But being pathetic is overrated. Being nihilistic is overrated. Being

(23:29):
overly cynical is overrated. And I'm never going to be
the type of person who's going to be like, oh,
like you just tried being happy, right, I think that
the put.

Speaker 1 (23:38):
A smile on your face.

Speaker 2 (23:40):
Yeah, I think the the I don't know, I think
the tendency to catastrophize things is like, I don't know,
I think it's kind of insincere in a sense, and
that's just something I'm just really I'm just really over
like I need everyone to get a lot more sincere,

(24:00):
like right fucking now. And I think that this kind
of like bitterness, this like failure to like truly engage
with anything you like or to just kind of be
this shielded by irony like cynic is. It's pathetic and
it's disgusting to me. And I think it's so overrated.

(24:23):
And I think in the age of like the modern
internet culture we exist in, like everyone's so afraid to
embrace things that they like or speak up for things
that they think are wrong or I don't know, it's
just I understand that everyone has feels like they have
like this like overly critical lens on them, and everyone
feels like more exposed than normal, but like bitch, like, honey,

(24:46):
expose yourself to Eva. Let's let's get naked together, Let's
be out in the sun in front of God. Let's
be sincere.

Speaker 1 (24:53):
Let's see.

Speaker 3 (24:54):
Now you got me when you said it in front
of God. That's it's something I can relate to that. Yeah,
I heard it. I heard that. I heard that. I mean, yeah,
I totally get that about the sort of protecting your
ego by being so rapidly cynical about things. It's like, well, actually,
if I'm cynical about everything, then like I'll never be
vulnerable through that. Yeah, I think that's.

Speaker 1 (25:15):
Suppose that you're you're like responding discomfort by being like, well,
actually it doesn't bother me anymore because I've accepted it
and actually like to no, you just got to keep
feeling the discomfort.

Speaker 2 (25:28):
And there's the opposite end of that too, where someone
like really really likes something, but like when you ask
them about it, they're like, you know, that's okay because
they're they're like afraid to like and like, see, this
is why I've grown to have a lot more respect
for people like furries or like mega weeds and stuff.
It's like it's not my thing. But the fact that

(25:50):
you're so into this like inherently kind of silly thing
is awesome. It's awesome. Like I think that's great, Like
like I don't know, I think that more people need
to be less afraid too.

Speaker 3 (26:03):
Well, I'm actually, like sincerely just really into zen and
the NFL, you know what I mean. And so yeah,
I'm out here naked in the sun too, you know, yeah,
I'm yeah.

Speaker 2 (26:14):
I guess taking three Zen's in your upper lip and
then doing sports gambling all night. It's okay, whatever I got.
It's like, bro, if that's what you do, that's awesome.

Speaker 3 (26:24):
Tell me.

Speaker 2 (26:26):
Let's go, Like, I'm here for your brother.

Speaker 1 (26:29):
Banging out some parlays. We'll get to parlay corner in
a little bit. Brought to you by Draft Kings.

Speaker 3 (26:36):
Is that the one?

Speaker 2 (26:37):
But yeah, what's the one where you can bet on
like anything?

Speaker 3 (26:41):
Poly Market?

Speaker 1 (26:42):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean polymarket is trend to get
an interesting direction. Speaking of our first story, the market's
a little bit of a The polymarket has Cuomo in
the high single digits, so yeah, like in it in
that range. As of end of last week, I haven't

(27:03):
I haven't checked my poly market make.

Speaker 2 (27:06):
Sounds like it sounds like what you would do if
you're like like a trans girl that just moved to
Seattle and you're like, yeah, I'm kind of done the
poly market.

Speaker 3 (27:14):
There you go, what are yeah, so what are the
are the polls are?

Speaker 8 (27:18):
Wait?

Speaker 1 (27:19):
What do you mean by what is the not? What
is the high single dude? But I mean like in
terms of how close he is now? So yeah, the
his chance of winning trended up to I think nine
or eight last week. So people, you know that there
was an article where someone was like, if this keeps up,
like this is a dead heat by Tuesday that that

(27:40):
was the one where someone was like, my baby doubled
in size since it was since it's bural, this keeps up,
he will be.

Speaker 3 (27:46):
Three billion pounds by the time he's an adult.

Speaker 2 (27:50):
Zoran's odds are at ninety one percent on poly Market.

Speaker 1 (27:53):
Yeah, I know, so I was going to say, so
it there was a little bit of a cuomo. Uh,
we'll call it a surge because we have to because
the mainstream media needs a story here. It did kind
of go back down, and so now Zorn's at ninety
one at seven percent, but everybody wants this story so bad,

(28:14):
they just like they're willing it to be true. The
Zoron's about to lose In a shocking.

Speaker 3 (28:20):
Today, The New York Post has potised Andrew Cuomo would
beat Zoron Mamdani and head to head race for NYC
mayor from according to bombshell poll. Uh huhah. And that's
like bombshells some survey you've never heard of? Cool? Cool?
I mean, maybe put that on your vision board, maybe
you can manifest it. But it looks like the my

(28:42):
sources point to know.

Speaker 1 (28:44):
Yeah, that always people turn out. We've been working the
polls of the magic gate ball and it keeps showing
us that doesn't look good. Doesn't look good for Cuoma.

Speaker 3 (28:52):
The Yeah.

Speaker 1 (28:53):
So the New York Posts another another angle that the
people are trying who they're they're trying. They're going at
last hrugged on that Assin round ain't.

Speaker 9 (29:03):
Run there, and they're like like that that's so much scarier.
Well it is pronounced iin that makes sense, Yeah, it does.
I think probably it was sure. Her name was Anna and.

Speaker 1 (29:13):
She was like, uh, could we actually go with my
preferred pronunciation iron. So they're being like, look, we're the
rich people and We're gonna leave this fucking city if
you guys don't elect Cuomo.

Speaker 3 (29:28):
Yeah, exactly. That's the the childish threat of I will
leave it. I'm gonna take all my toys with me
if you don't do what I want to Sure there
is this, it says. According to the Post, it says
around seven hundred and sixty five thousand people of the
eight point four million residents who call New York City
home are preparing to leave, with about nine percent of

(29:49):
New Yorkers sharing that they would quote definitely leave the
city if Mum Doney is elected the.

Speaker 1 (29:54):
Ele Yeah yeah, yeah, Now are you convinced, Janney, Yeah, no,
so definitely, dude, they said, definitely.

Speaker 3 (30:05):
If those residents were to leave, it would be equal
to the population of d C, Las Vegas or Seattle. Essentially. Yeah. Go,
I mean honestly, go ahead. You know, if you want
to self rapture out of New York City, that would
be so many people leaving like that is that is
an exodus. I wouldn't make any I would move to
New York. I think I would move to New York
like right.

Speaker 2 (30:25):
Away for the back part of the Wall Street diaspora.

Speaker 1 (30:28):
Yeah, but like you there's a period in for like
three days around Thanksgiving when LA just like all all
the people leave LA, like a.

Speaker 3 (30:44):
Lot of the transplants go back to like where they
moved from.

Speaker 1 (30:47):
Yeah, and it becomes the nicest place. Like you could
just like drive places without being like this might take
me an hour and a half or it might take
me fifteen minutes, and there's literally no way to tell
it took seven minutes. But yeah, it's just it's how
city should be. I'm like New York is a place
that like had congestion pricing to like try and make

(31:09):
it like miles. You and I sat in a cab
for forty five minutes going three blocks in New York City. Yeah, Like, yeah,
we could have watched we just watched people walking, but
we you know, we had business to do.

Speaker 7 (31:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (31:24):
Yeah, I remember last time in New York, Like we
had gotten like we landed in New York, so it
was already like a journey the end of the city.
But like we were not too far from our friend's
apartment in Bushwick, but like we needed the sea train
to come, and we were just down there waiting for
it to come for like hours. And I don't live

(31:47):
in New York. So I didn't realize that sometimes the
trains just don't want to go that day, Like sometimes
they're just like I'm having a mental health day, yeah,
and they just they just don't want to show up.
So it took like it was like a fifty dollars
cab ride to get there, which was awesome.

Speaker 3 (32:06):
It's it's really I just this threat is so funny
to me, like cause it's like, yeah, go ahead, leave
one of the best cities in the country for Fort Lauderdale,
like where. And I feel like if you're so incensed
by a candidate running on the most basic shit, like
straightforward shit like affordability, we're not even time like capital
s socialism here, like, then go on, then you know,

(32:28):
have your time.

Speaker 2 (32:29):
And I'm not one of those people who's like who
thinks that mom, Donnie can't do anything, can't do a
lot of the things he's saying because he's just a mayor.
I think he could probably do more than like people
some of it, thinks some of it maybe, but I'm
not sure he can like really make their taxes go
up in a substantial way unless I'm wrong about that.

(32:52):
Rus there's something I'm missing, like like I feel like
that would be a something above his purview.

Speaker 1 (32:58):
Well it would be called tithe in in his calife.
Yeah right, right, right, yeah right thing, yeah.

Speaker 3 (33:06):
Yeah right.

Speaker 1 (33:08):
But yeah, it's it's all scared. I mean, they billionaires
are very scared, and the media, which really like answers them,
are trying everything. They're making it like neck and neck.
They're making it an existential threat to the city, and
it's uh, it could be.

Speaker 3 (33:25):
I mean, I'd imagine it's people who are so they
just they just believe that he is there to like
do some kind of new Holocaust against the Jewish people
of New York or something. Plus the billionaires. I think
it's the billionaires. I really think it's just people.

Speaker 1 (33:40):
And also like he's going to do stuff that is
going to be scary for a capital.

Speaker 2 (33:44):
I think it's also I mean, like with when a
lot of like there's leftists victories happen, it's not always
so much what they're going to do with their election,
when and more so what that win signifies for other
people in the country and across the world, where it's like, oh,

(34:09):
we can win, we can do things, we can't affect
change when they want you to be like, no, just
you can't do shit.

Speaker 1 (34:17):
Shut up.

Speaker 2 (34:17):
You can vote for a Democrat who can do nothing, essentially,
and things might not get worse. Maybe they do, I
don't know. But that's the most you can do, and
you can't do anything more than that.

Speaker 3 (34:27):
I don't still don't know if Schumer's endorsed, Like on
I think on Friday he was like, I'm still talking
to mom Donnie.

Speaker 1 (34:33):
Like about what Jeffries did.

Speaker 2 (34:35):
Right, Maybe, I mean, I think that team Jeffreys to
kind of I have trying to bore him.

Speaker 3 (34:41):
To death so that he never takes office. Yeah, that's right.

Speaker 1 (34:46):
I do think it's going to be extremely hard, Like
I think the forces of capital are going to be
extremely sore losers on this one and make his job
very difficult. But I think in terms of you know,
first of all, I think nobody thought he had a
chance at getting the nomination, let alone getting elected.

Speaker 3 (35:03):
So you know, with the power of like a lot.

Speaker 1 (35:07):
Of people who this is just common sense good for
the media is going to be like he's failing and
you know, telling that story the whole time. But if
he can find a way, like we talked about how
shine Baum in Mexico, like The first thing that she
did was like start holding a every morning two hour
press conference that was just like live streamed and just

(35:30):
answered people's questions, just straight to like talking directly to
the people. Like there needs to be something like that
where he's able to like talk to people about what
he's doing that's not filtered through whatever the New York
Post and even the New York Times want to get
out there.

Speaker 3 (35:46):
But you know it's not gonna be easy.

Speaker 2 (35:48):
Well, he's incredibly good at talking.

Speaker 1 (35:50):
Guy fucking loves to talk.

Speaker 3 (35:51):
Yeah, he's very solid on just like with La right,
Like you have a city council that's already pretty entrenched
with how they do business, so like getting that put
into think the other part is communicating enough that people
begin to put pressure on their city council members to
figure out how they're going to deliver.

Speaker 1 (36:06):
But again, this is Clomo thing though. He's talking about
how much Mam Donnie smiles. Now he said, I mean
all these things that people.

Speaker 10 (36:14):
Wait, that's what they made fun of, Yeah, they made
fun of on Saturday Live. Yeah, and so Clomo was like, exactly,
fuck this guy he smiles and so he uh, he
was like, yeah, you know, all these things that people
think Mom Donnie could do, like uh, you know, have
grocery stores and like lower prices.

Speaker 1 (36:33):
He would just smile and they'd believe him, like he's
like some sort of fucking magician or you know, hypnotic.

Speaker 2 (36:40):
Kind of It kind of reminds me of when Trump
was making fun of Kamala's laugh right.

Speaker 1 (36:48):
Song.

Speaker 3 (36:50):
Just funny. So yeah, Jennie Hakeem Jeffries endorses Mamdani and
then he goes on CNN is asked moments later, is
this is Manni the future of the Democratic Party? What
he fucking Jeffrey said, quote, No, The lightning rod in
terms of what's going to impact the ability of either
side to win control of the House or hold control
in twenty twenty six is going to be the failure
of Republicans to actually deliver on the promises that they

(37:13):
have made and to actively make light for every America. Shit,
fucking the just the same tired ass playbook again. They're
gonna they're doing the Look at what they're doing. They're
not even doing nothing. Well for me, Yeah, God, good
fucking luck.

Speaker 1 (37:29):
All right, we do have to talk about the new
ick couple that's taking the world by storm.

Speaker 3 (37:33):
You say new ick couple. I think, oh, yes, is
it's being called the hug heard around the world by
us Just now, just like.

Speaker 1 (37:44):
Yeah, JD Vance and Erica Kirk. I mean she was like,
I miss my husband, but no nobody can ever replace him.

Speaker 3 (37:51):
But here look, just listen to listen.

Speaker 7 (37:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (37:54):
So at a turning point USA event like where Again,
JD Vance was brought out to play the role of
Charlie Kirk and the debating of people from the stage
she brings She's about to introduce him, and her whole
thing is like, you know, I just want to say,
this is an amazing person. Yeah, and his wife too. Sure,
sure she's cool, but no one can replace him. So

(38:15):
here's here it is. I just I'll play the I
think she's about to say, and his wife because they're
talking about how much the Advances have done for Erica
Kirk since Charlie Kirk was killed. They are incredible.

Speaker 1 (38:30):
Well, she's wearing the shirt.

Speaker 10 (38:33):
No one will ever.

Speaker 8 (38:34):
Replace my husband, no, right, But I do see some
similarities of my husband in jd and Vice President Jadi Vance.
I do, and that's why I'm so blessed to be
able to introduce him tonight. He's an amazing man, so.

Speaker 1 (38:53):
Please help me.

Speaker 8 (38:54):
Welcome to the stage, Vice President JD.

Speaker 5 (38:57):
Vance.

Speaker 1 (38:58):
So she just hit us with the nobody nobody's ever
going to replace him, but I see similarities. That's a
crazy thing to side.

Speaker 3 (39:06):
It is a wild thing, oh widow, to say, no
one can replace my husband except this guys Ago ago, Yes,
here's and again this is the thing that's been getting
a lot of tention. So he comes out and this
is like the hug that they share that go out.
She give a little hair touch he's waist. He said, shorty,

(39:28):
let me grab you by the waist.

Speaker 1 (39:30):
Okay, the hug on its own did not. I was not, like,
what the fuck? But in context of that speech, and
then really the weirdest thing, as was reference to my aka,
is that at this same conference, maybe even earlier before.

Speaker 3 (39:47):
That, I think it's after this.

Speaker 1 (39:49):
It would be after because he introduces.

Speaker 3 (39:51):
Yeah, because she comes out and then he starts speaking,
and then he hits us with this take yeah that.

Speaker 2 (39:57):
You know, she could have said just as easily like
but he's someone who embodies what Charlie Kirk believed or whatever.
I think there's a way to phrase that that's not
as there's a frisson of eroticism there.

Speaker 1 (40:13):
That is a thing like I just remember, like there
were a lot of stories in the aftermath of nine
to eleven where like the fellow firefighters who of like
people who like firefighters who died in nine to eleven, Like,
there were a lot of times they would like leave
their wife for the wives of the fallen firefighters. Like

(40:34):
there's a thing that happens when, like you're when somebody
is getting a lot of attention from being a you know,
the widow of someone whose life is tragically cut short,
and then like you are, like publicly getting a lot
of positive attention for being the shoulder that they lean on.
But anyways, around this time at the same event, Jade

(40:56):
Vans had.

Speaker 3 (40:57):
This to say, Yeah, quote my wife, as I said
at the TPUs, is the most amazing blessing I have
in my life. She herself encouraged me to re engage
with my faith many years ago. She's not a Christian
and has no plans to convert, But like many people
in an interfaith marriage or any interfaith relationship, I hope

(41:18):
she may one day see things as I do. Regardless,
I'll continue to love and support her and talk to
her about faith and life and everything else because she's
my wife.

Speaker 1 (41:28):
Similar format, similar structure to the previous statement about look,
nobody can replace Charlie.

Speaker 2 (41:37):
But but when I just say one thing, yeah, I
don't buy for a second. Aside from maybe making like
photo op stuff to like appeal to his Christian base,
I do not believe for a second. I mean little
Harvard fucking like god like, I don't believe it. I
don't buy especially like being Trump's guy, because Trump is
one of the most secular people of all fucking time.

Speaker 3 (42:00):
Sure, and he also killed the Pope.

Speaker 2 (42:02):
And also I do not I also don't think, for
that matter that if he was this much of a
like true like like died in the whole evangelical type guy,
I don't think he would marry a himduo in the
first place.

Speaker 1 (42:15):
I think that he is a recent convert, which is
what's so weird. It's actually he's a recent convert to Catholicism,
the weirdest people in the world. Later recent convers I think,
I personally think he can convince himself of anything like that.

Speaker 3 (42:32):
He you know, like people people like that like he.

Speaker 1 (42:37):
He there's part of him that is believing the bullshit
in maybe like he's doing God's mission.

Speaker 2 (42:45):
I think he is faking to his very fucking core.
Like I like like for him to like write that
book and like present himself in the way he's presented
itself his whole life. I think that there's like I
think he's just fake.

Speaker 1 (42:59):
I do not.

Speaker 2 (43:00):
I think there's like a real person in there. Like
it's not hillbillyology, it's it's Brettysonelli's American psycho.

Speaker 1 (43:09):
Yeah, yeah, right, it's psycho.

Speaker 3 (43:11):
When people were like, oh man, what's a kind of
weird statement, he blasted any criticism as being anti Christian discrimination.

Speaker 1 (43:19):
Yeah, and then he like double which is one of
the biggest problems we have in this country. I will
say anti Christian discrimination. Basically Christian nation.

Speaker 3 (43:29):
Yeah yeah, yeah, built on genocidal everything. But yeah, yeah, yeah,
that's the problem. That's the problem. I don't know. It's
like I think a lot of people are like, so
is he going to dump Usha to then have Charlie
Kirkirk's widow as his wife to run in twenty twenty eight?
Is Erica the VP on a vance ticket? There's so

(43:50):
many questions. I mean, like it's just interesting to see
to the two because Cash betel right, he deigned to
embrace Doval he like in a post and then got
torn down owned by all these maga racist people. And
I wonder if Genie Vance is like, obviously to be
the president, I will need a Christian wife, and in
this fucked up Game of Thrones esque thing that's happening here,

(44:11):
I choose Erica Kirk.

Speaker 1 (44:13):
Spot just opened up.

Speaker 2 (44:14):
I'm gonna be honest, I don't think people give a
fuck who The first lady is not much really the
breaker thing, Like we've learned that in this last administration,
So I don't really know how beneficial that would be.

Speaker 1 (44:28):
That to.

Speaker 2 (44:30):
What I could see is more likely is Erica Kirk
herself trying to have some kind of like I don't know,
kind of turns her way into the administration. They're gonna, yeah,
they'll find a position for her, like, while I don't, well,
I'm maybe not convinced that there's a uh, some romantic
Game of Throne style thing at play. A lot of

(44:51):
these people give me swinger vibes, and swingerism has been
kind of hot in the conservative movement. It's been hotter
for conservatives to be swingers in recent years than it
ever has been. And I wouldn't be surprised if a
lot of these people are just fucking and sucking on
the side and that's all there.

Speaker 8 (45:11):
Is to it.

Speaker 1 (45:12):
I would be surprised if they were not. Yeah, all
available evidence seems to be that, well, they're so into calling.

Speaker 3 (45:19):
People cucks and stuff like yeah, yeah, yeah, it's.

Speaker 2 (45:22):
Very corny coded. They're gonna change the conservative symbol from
an elephant to a pineapple.

Speaker 1 (45:27):
That's right, elephant with a little pineapple inside. That's such
a good call about like the Patrick Bateman aspect, Like
just watching JD. Vance go into a donut shop is
very similar to like watching Patrick Bateman like interact with
people and just be like freaking out, like his brain

(45:47):
just like can't handle normalcy, be like donuts, all right,
how you don't, Yeah, so of whatever you think.

Speaker 3 (45:56):
Is ordinary, we'll do that.

Speaker 2 (45:58):
I think we've seen years of like the liberal version
of Patrick Bateman. And I mean you still like Gavin
Newsome's very much like a person like that Pete Boodha
Judge as well, But.

Speaker 1 (46:09):
I think JD.

Speaker 2 (46:10):
Vance and uh like you can feel like Mark Johnson,
like I feel like people like that are an example
of like the conservative type of Patrick Bateman where I
think that like like the the years of like people
like Bush or like like I don't know, like Mitch McConnell,
or like Lindsey Graham, where there's like a southern kind
of affectation to their like conservatism, there's like a folksiness

(46:33):
to it. I think that they're pivoting more to the
like stone Face disaffected like yes, I want to make
the world worse kind of conservatism.

Speaker 3 (46:44):
Which shouldn't be That doesn't that seems weird. It seems weird.
Position it does.

Speaker 1 (46:49):
It does. Let's take a quick break and we'll come
back and we'll we'll talk about the beginning of the
season of Christmas as Dan by Mariah Carey and also
big big news in the world of Chuck Lurie fans
who don't don't know much about Chuck Lori.

Speaker 3 (47:07):
We'll be right back.

Speaker 1 (47:18):
And we're back, And as per tradition, at the tail
end of Halloween, Mariah Carey posted an Instagram video that
is the starter pistol for the Christmas season and this one.
So we've talked in the past, it's been it's been weird,
Like cgi Ai slop, and this one kind of is

(47:40):
weird for other reasons. So, first of all, it's very branded.
It's a holiday brand deal with Sephora. She comes home
from a Halloween party wearing the classic Halloween costume of
like a Christmas Angel, and discovers that an elf played
by Billy Eichner has stolen her Sephora good.

Speaker 3 (47:58):
Yeah the way you just you're like that was Billy Iikener.

Speaker 1 (48:02):
Yeah, then tells her that Christmas is canceled because the
elves are striking this year, and he's stealing her shit
in order to pay for elf therapy, presumably like.

Speaker 2 (48:12):
It looks like he's paying for Alpho's ump buck.

Speaker 1 (48:15):
He does, He's pretty slender, looking pretty slender. And then
Mariah responds to the revelation that Santa oppresses his workers
so severely they're now exercising their legal right to strike,
and that one of them has turned to a life
of crime in a desperate bid to improve his mental health,
by using the Christmas magic to turn him into a
snowman and telling him you can't cancel Christmas.

Speaker 3 (48:38):
Yeah, pretty good, pretty good buck. And I love that
it's such a weird, like why even have that in
the script that Billy Eichner or the elves are going
on strike, you know what I mean. This feels like
also peak agency thing where they're so disconnected from normal
people that they're like, yeah, they're going to go on strikes,
like realizing shit's so bad. People are trying to figure

(48:59):
out how to like you like massive strikes or something
to try and affect any kind of change right now,
Like yeah, yeah, because they need elf there. You know
how it is, they get we're not paid paid enough,
We're going on strikes, wing on elf therapy.

Speaker 1 (49:12):
It's I couldn't seen it. Like what one version of
this that was has to have been pitched was that
the elf looks like Zoron and is like we're actually
canceling Christmas because it's it's not equitable.

Speaker 2 (49:28):
Yeah, and then they're eating too much elf avocado toasts.

Speaker 3 (49:31):
That's right, right, yeah exactly, And that's true. I've heard
that about the elves these days. Ah, this is definitely
this is turning into diminishing returns. I gotta say the
first one, you're like, okay, haha, right carry, you've done.

Speaker 1 (49:45):
It right now, actually, like turned Freddy and Jason or
Freddy and Michael Myers. I feel like elves that was
cut then.

Speaker 3 (49:52):
That was cute. After that, it's just like what but
I guess now, look, you got to you gotta keep
that money hose on, so you're going to just be
like we're I saw for us, and why is this
poor elf taking it? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (50:05):
Well, I mean, who the fuck starts doing Christmas stuff
immediately after Halloween? That's psychotic to me. I'm sorry.

Speaker 3 (50:11):
I mean I think that's just where the culturally where
we're at, Like it's like, okay, now here's the next
off the rails hyper consumption holiday. Fuck Thanksgiving because we're
so devoid of any holiday that addresses like the spirituality
or of anything. Uh that it's just like I mean, Thanksgiving,
it's also just built on a bunch of nonsense.

Speaker 2 (50:30):
But like yeah, yeah, but I mean Thanksgiving at least
like you can at least say about for something giving
thanks being with your family, Like I am ignoring, you know.

Speaker 8 (50:41):
Like.

Speaker 3 (50:43):
Thanksgiving, I'm ignoring being too woke right now.

Speaker 2 (50:46):
But like I do think there is like a no,
that's what I mean, spiritedness to it of like just
enjoying your family, making dinner for people.

Speaker 3 (50:54):
How many people engage with that sincerely, because like I
just think after like looking at just sort of taking stock,
like we just had deeal to listen work thows. It's
like very much like you understand what it's supposed to
do about honoring your family and like remembering the people
that have passed away, like we have no like no
significant holidays in American culture that or even for a
moment truly like it's everyone has to engage with it

(51:18):
in this like way that is acknowledging something or doing
a little bit of analysis, because yeah, some people like
this is a day we're thankful, but I think most
people are just gonna get around, They're gonna eat, they're
gonna get fucking drunk, and then just mod and buy
a bunch of shit the next day, versus you know,
acknowledging those things, and then every other thing is like
either hyper consumption or get drunk type holidays.

Speaker 2 (51:40):
Sure, yeah, even I would argue there's maybe one. This
is gonna be my dark horse pick. I think New
Year's Eve is one of the purest distillations of a Yes,
there is like consumerism and like bar culture and stuff
is rampant, but I've always liked that with New Year's Eve,

(52:02):
something happens, you know, it's like we all get to
reflect on like the year, think about like everything that
happened the year before, like the like the weeks leading
up to it. You see a bunch of year end lists,
and it's kind of like a celebration of people surviving
one more year in a world that is continually getting worse.

(52:23):
And I think that there's like there's not a lot
you can aside from uh, cheap ass shitty bottles of
bubbles and prosecco. There's not a lot of selling you
can do aside from just like partying and stuff. And hey,
I'd argue that that's not the worst thing in the world.
I think like the rampant, like gross consumerism of Christmas,

(52:46):
I think the consumerism around like New Year's Eve is like,
you know, it's a little healthier. It gets people outside.
It's people talking, having people socializing, having their little parties
and stuff.

Speaker 1 (52:56):
And I don't.

Speaker 3 (53:00):
See bars in LA and I think they do this
in New York. You're like, dude, come through for bottle
service on New Year's Eve at this club six thousand
dollars and you're like, fuck yeah. I like in Japan,
it's also a similar thing, like it's a very very
like like it's like one of the few times people
stop working to actually like go home and like New
York about the yeah yeah, yeah, like that whole that

(53:20):
those first few days of the New year really significant. Yeah,
but anyway, but yeah you got you got Christmas now.

Speaker 1 (53:26):
Yeah, any holidays that are like two demands. I think
Halloween is very popular because like it's pure consumerism without
any real family context, Like there's nothing where you're like
you have to hang out with your elderly relatives, which
America is fucking hate. You know, they're just like no,
we put them in a home. We don't want to
fuck with them. And then I think New Year's also

(53:48):
matches that it's just about like going going out celebrating,
and there's also a tone of like eternal, unrealistic optimism
that comes out that comes with New Years that is
like a perfect fit for America. Yeah, but you know
it's fine, fine, Yeah, it's it's fake, but I think
it's fine.

Speaker 2 (54:08):
Like I would rather that than like a New Year
is where everyone's like and it's gonna be even worse
next year. It's like, no, let's let's make things better, guys.

Speaker 3 (54:18):
I even like your description of it is like to
even look at New Year's to be like, hey, we
made it another fucking year, Like let's pat ourselves on
the back, which I think.

Speaker 1 (54:26):
Christmas is kind of about to, like, you know, in
its original intent, it was like, this is the winter
winter solstice, this is the longest day of the year.
This is like about this is celebrating survival. But obviously
it's been fucking ruined. Who I I, Oh, the War
on Christmas is gonna be crazy this year.

Speaker 3 (54:49):
They don't, They don't even know, you know, gonna die.

Speaker 7 (54:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (54:53):
Trump will declare flawless victory over the War on because
like that's another war that I ended closes back.

Speaker 1 (55:00):
People wouldn't let Santa Claus be in mall.

Speaker 3 (55:03):
Actually veiling a new character Jesus clause Santa christ Uh,
you're gonna love it. You're gonna love it.

Speaker 1 (55:09):
All right, this is big news in our world. Akay,
just a thing Miles found out over the weekend that.

Speaker 3 (55:13):
We didn't had no idea, had no idea. Okay, Chuck
Glory first Glory Lore new LOORI Lord dropped. We talk
a lot about teenage mutant Ninja Turtles on the show,
but it's mostly in the context of Stephen Miller aka
Teenage Mutant Ninja Gerbels or Cringea Gurbles as I just thought.
The reason I ever thought that name up is because

(55:34):
the Teenage Mutane Ninja Turtles theme song has lived rent
free in my mind since I was three years old
when the animated series just came out a broken CD.

Speaker 2 (55:42):
Just place the theme song I'm gonna be.

Speaker 3 (55:46):
Ninja Turtles Teenage Mutant. This this is a Mollentia Turtle show,
Turtle Power the World team.

Speaker 1 (55:58):
Okay, again, it's not compositionally complex, no, which I think
is why it like burrowed so deeply into my brain.

Speaker 3 (56:06):
But there's I just found out that Chuck Loriie of
Two and a half Men, Big Bang Theory fame is
the one who wrote the theme song for Teenage Mutant
Ninja Turtles, and apparently people are pointed to like it's
not surprising because Charlie Sheen's character was a jingle writer,
I guess on Two and a half Men, But there

(56:26):
is so they've known that if I had ever watched it,
and if I ever gave a fuck. But this is
so I found a clip of Chuck Lorie talking about
it's just so funny because it's the driest, most boring
thing he's revealed. And also there's one point, it makes
no sense.

Speaker 11 (56:43):
I wanted to do the theme song for the Turtles
the minute I heard about it, but the actually the
original Turtles were given the job. If I recall correctly.

Speaker 3 (56:52):
What well, I wanted to write the theme song, but
the original Turtles were given the job.

Speaker 1 (56:59):
Does that mean you remember correctly? They don't think you
do Turtles.

Speaker 3 (57:03):
Are writing it, or the people who wrote the graphic,
like the voice actors, they were just like, I don't know,
you guys, figure it out. That's not really my job.
Are you paying me more?

Speaker 1 (57:12):
No, go and fucking do it.

Speaker 8 (57:15):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (57:15):
He goes on and uh.

Speaker 11 (57:17):
But at the end of the day, I from what
I was told, they just didn't.

Speaker 3 (57:21):
They didn't.

Speaker 11 (57:22):
They just shrugged it off. They didn't do anything.

Speaker 3 (57:25):
Oh, it's so people whose job it was to be
voice actors.

Speaker 11 (57:29):
The producer and said, you know, can you come up
with a theme song? And you know you have forty
eight hours.

Speaker 3 (57:37):
So he goes on to say they got two grand
and they rented a studio. That journey was recording in
but they could only afford the midnight to eight am
slot at the recording studio because it was the cheapest.
And now I'm just like, oh, were they just doing
a bunch of blow and just came up like we're
just screaming.

Speaker 1 (57:53):
Like teenage mute ten ninja turtles, Like, yes, the song
sounds like it was written through a flexed jaw.

Speaker 7 (58:02):
You know.

Speaker 3 (58:07):
Again, just a good factoid for my millennial trivia trivia
heads out there. I had no fucking idea this was.

Speaker 1 (58:12):
It's weird because we have that fake internet fact that
James Lipton wrote the Thundercat theme song.

Speaker 3 (58:19):
So it's it's like.

Speaker 1 (58:21):
They took that, they took this real fact and then
replaced it with a different because I guess James Lipton
is like a little bit well more well known than.

Speaker 2 (58:32):
I'm sorry, who the fuck is Chuck Laurie.

Speaker 3 (58:37):
It doesn't matter. I don't even know. I just know
him as the guy behind the biggest CBS sitcoms, so
like it, it's a name that like everybody creates.

Speaker 1 (58:46):
Is he a writer? Yeah, he was like the show creator.
He was like the Larry David of Two and a
half Men. And then you thought he couldn't do it again,
but the Big Bang Theory come along and he's evil
Larry David.

Speaker 3 (58:58):
Yeah, and you thought he couldn't have gat do it again,
and then young Sheldon fucking dropped.

Speaker 2 (59:02):
Yeah exactly, Bizarrow Anti Christ Larry David, God.

Speaker 3 (59:05):
That's right, yeah, yeah, yeah. Who also on the side
maybe just did an eight ball and wrote the teenage
unant Ninja Turtles theme song in a couple hours.

Speaker 1 (59:13):
I totally believed by the way that James Lipton had
you guys heard that that James Lipton wrote the Thundercut
Cinema guy. James, Yeah, yeah, James. I had heard that
somewhere and was just like, well, no one would make
that up. That's too dumb to make up.

Speaker 2 (59:27):
He doesn't seem like a musical person, doesn't.

Speaker 3 (59:29):
At all, And it turns out is not.

Speaker 1 (59:32):
It's fake, but there Yeah, I don't know, Alan Thick wrote,
I thought I thought Alan Sick wrote the theme song
to Growing Pains his show, but he wrote the theme
song two Different Strokes and the Facts of Life, which
are two of the eighties You take you take the
Badge Takang.

Speaker 3 (59:53):
And Different Strokes Ruled, Different Strokes Rule.

Speaker 2 (59:58):
You showing me that that it was like the complete
opposite of when I watched the video of how Angelo
Battlelamente came up with the Twin Peaks theme and the
Laura Palmer's theme, where he is so passionate about it,
like standing over his piano and he's like, yeah, David
was above me, and David was like, you're going into

(01:00:19):
the woods and it gets darker. So I go down
a key and I make it darker and you're going
into the woods. Yeah. If you need something to like
wash your palette away, to make you really believe in
the power of music again, look up Angelo Battleaminty creating
Laura Palmer's theme.

Speaker 1 (01:00:35):
It is an incredible lot. Well, Janey Danger, what a
pleasure having you as always on the podcast. Where can
people find you? Follow you all that good stuff?

one of them that you might have seen by now.

Speaker 3 (01:01:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:01:00):
I just went on tour and I might do some
more stuff later that I can't really bring up yet
because nothing set in stone. But yeah, just a few
more shows left.

Speaker 1 (01:01:09):
For the year. We have one more. We have one
in November with.

Speaker 2 (01:01:13):
Yuka at Aisle five in Atlanta. And yeah, Janie Danger
dot com.

Speaker 1 (01:01:18):
Baby, there you go.

Speaker 3 (01:01:20):
Is there a work of media that you've been enjoying?

Speaker 8 (01:01:23):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (01:01:23):
You know you mentioned uh you mentioned this earlier. Well,
I am enjoying The Chair Company on HBO quite a bit,
the latest episode, but it's really good. I hope there's
a new Smiling Friends too. There wasn't one last week,
but you mentioned the the you mentioned Catholicism earlier and
Jade Vance being a recent Catholic convert, and I did

(01:01:45):
wanna did you guys see the tweet from the Pope?

Speaker 3 (01:01:49):
Oh he had a really follow too.

Speaker 2 (01:01:53):
Yeah, no, he's kind of he's I kind of fuck
with him. He had a really incendiary tweet towards a
recent coverts where he said, in many years, many young
people have approached the faith through social media, successful programs,
and popular online Christian witnesses. The danger is that a
faith discovered online is limited to individual experiences which may

(01:02:14):
be intellectually and emotionally reassuring, but never embodied. Such experience
has remain disembodied, detached from the ecclesiacal body and fucking torch.
Those Larper's Pope, those guys, and I think that, I
think that's awesome. He made every little like LARPer Catholic

(01:02:36):
like racist on Twitter. All the little raper Catholics got
mad at him.

Speaker 1 (01:02:40):
I think they've been mad at I think they've been
mad at him ever since he killed the last pope.

Speaker 2 (01:02:44):
You know, well, I like that he's uh. I like
that the Pope still still poke in the beehive. So
that's cool. That's what I've been enjoying now. I've been
enjoying the Pope's Twitter, just straight up just scrubbing miles.
Where can people find you as their working media?

Speaker 3 (01:03:00):
You been enjoying? Yeah, you can find me everywhere at
miles of gray talking about ninety day fiance, at four
to twenty day fiance? What else? Then? Weird work of media?

Speaker 1 (01:03:12):
I like, oh, it was the work of media.

Speaker 3 (01:03:14):
You like, Oh, you know, there's just an onion just
as we just you know where it's GOOTV Monday. As
we record this, the onion at the onion dot com
on Blue Sky posted Cuomo makes the eleventh hour pass
at female New Yorkers, and I felt just on point. Yeah,
and other than that, I'm just I'm really enjoying a

(01:03:35):
lot of the other just people's like Halloween wrap up
stuff they're posting about like what they did. There is
one Yeah, this is from at you garls dot best
guys social posts it. I don't know what you did
on Halloween, but I spent I spent it saying six
seven as I handed out candy to trigger treaters to
make it uncol I don't know. I don't think it
worked because to the amount of six seven.

Speaker 1 (01:03:55):
Number of six seven, cos I didn't do my costume
wrap up this year, the sixth seven were everywhere. At
my kids school like they do a Halloween parade. There
was like vast majority six seven costumes, like people doing
the hands thing and then teachers in six seven costumes
doing the hand juggle thing.

Speaker 2 (01:04:14):
I didn't know what that was until I see the
Park episode.

Speaker 1 (01:04:18):
Yeah, doesn't that mean you have big balls?

Speaker 3 (01:04:20):
That's what it means.

Speaker 2 (01:04:20):
In the NBA, it means nothing. The more you try
and think about it, the crazier it's going to make
you feel.

Speaker 3 (01:04:26):
It means nothing.

Speaker 1 (01:04:27):
It's nothing.

Speaker 2 (01:04:28):
Hand looking sees your inquiries. Six seven means nothing.

Speaker 3 (01:04:33):
That's right, what is it a religion? Going to follow
this all the way to the top. I saw a
kid who had like a like bandage it up head
and like an arm in a sling, and it just
had seven and he was a six six seven. My
sister did that one.

Speaker 1 (01:04:45):
Oh my god, it was a seven, like a heat
pack on her head, and she did it explicitly to
mortify your kids and it worked.

Speaker 3 (01:04:54):
There, You cod couple works for media.

Speaker 1 (01:04:58):
