thank you so much, Mike Man. And shocking. I just
shocked the ship out of super Due and a hose
neats my left. That was a nice aka Smashing Pumpkins. Uh.
As I've said before, if you look on Twitter, the
Smashing Copins do follow me because I tweeted at them
that my dream woman is a mixture of Darcy and
James Ehon. So yes, shout out to all the Pumpkins
fans over there. It's never Billy Corgan because now he's

(00:44):
like weird, all right, and I don't know why. Yeah yeah,
yeah yeah, bald white guy like looks Lex Luthor. It's
like wrestling or something like all sorts of weird. Yeah,
we are thrilled to be joined. But person boy, you
just chard She's a hilarious comedian and podcast host and

(01:05):
just one of the great. Thank you, thank you so much.
Sorry a sorry diesel ak, a little two day. I
made my first decades for this episode. Really good, thank you.
I'm doing great. I'm so glad to be bad. It's
so good. In a while, I'm really upset that I
was supposed to be one because I thought we were
going to get highest fucking studio. I thought we were

(01:26):
going to hot box the room. And then the bus
I was on broke down in Los Banos love to
break down on and as we call the bathroom the
baths uh, we broke down on the side of the
highway and then um the bus driver was like, you
know what, I'm going to try and keep this going.
And then he took us to a Walmart and then

(01:46):
everyone was like We're fine, We're good, We're good. I
met some very nice bros on their way to Coachella,
some of the dumbest people I've ever met in my life.
It was truly an experience that like one of them
just like suddenly catch fire and explicably, Oh sh D.
He was that guy that was like trying. He was
really excited about knowing like the full chemical names of LSD,

(02:08):
and he was like surgical like you get out of
He had pants with like ten zippers on them. No
zippers went anywhere. They didn't even function. They didn't even function.
He's like, I actually opened them all up. When he
gets hot, come on fire again? Yea for some reason.

(02:30):
Uh sorry, what's something from your search history that's revealing
about who you are? Something from my search history because
I put some notes in here. Okay, here we go. Okay,
so my recent search history, it's pretty depressing. It's cops
destroyed community garden because on our on on my podcast
Left Coast, we mentioned, you know, cops will sometimes to
destroy community gardens, and I was like, let me make
sure this is true, and oh boy, is it true.

(02:52):
There are so many instances of swat teams and cops
just coming in and destroying community gardens where either like
the land got bought out and the lease was up,
or if it's a survival garden, they'll just destroy it
for like code reasons. Yeah. So like in wait, wait,
a swat team to destroy a garden not incidentally, they

(03:15):
are coming with the express purpose of destroying this garden. Yes,
because it's not properly get your code, your tactical back
hole tactical shovel gets round up, like two spray bottles
around up and he's flipping them on his hand. Start
asking us to like give cops a chance, or like,

(03:36):
you know, you just respect cops. Destroy community garden, stop
being over villains. Let people know about the benefits of
community gardens, because I think if you live in urban areas,
community gardens probably more familiar. Well, one of the biggest
ones here was there was there was a huge community
garden in South Central called South Central Farms, and the
owners let the lease on the land run out, and

(03:57):
then it was bought by this just terrible elepment company. Uh.
And the community tried to buy it, like lots of
different people offered to donate even um the Annenberg Foundation
was like, we will buy this land from you this
guy named Horowitz and uh, and Horos was like, no,
you made the offer two days later than my deadline,
so I won't let you buy the land. And then

(04:18):
they fucking bulldozed South Central Farms, which was a huge
plot of land and fed a lot of people and
they had like a lot of community events there. Uh.
And then it just was empty for twelve years. Man,
it's still empty. It's still empty. A couple of years ago, um,
the new owners like put a put a plan up

(04:38):
to the city where they were like, we want to
put garment manufacturing there, and like, I don't know if
I went through. That's the last I heard of, but
like straight up they were like no, sorry, like we
bought this land. It's gone, it's done. Sorry, it's really
important that we destroyed this garden in order to put
I don't know, probably condos here. And then they just
didn't even put condos. So community garden is owned by

(04:58):
the community at the plot land and then they garden it. Yeah.
It's if you live in an apartment and you don't
have a yard. Community gardens are a place where you
can get a garden bed a lot of land and
you can grow food, you can grow flowers. Like, it's great.
It's a fucking huge educational resource for kids. A lot
of the time, like elderly uh whatever, nursing homes and

(05:20):
stuff will have them because elderly people like love to garden. Uh.
And they're tight, they're really they're great for native plants.
They're growing old when you want to start gardening. Yeah,
and I'm old now, oh yeah, yeah, because I'm slowly
getting there. My mom like she got into gardening like
like in one day, it like happened. There was that age.
It's like, well, was it the day after you moved out? No?

(05:41):
It was like maybe maybe, but wait oh ship yeah,
like these succulents are my children. Now I start, I
build a garden bed and now I'm like I don't
need a man, Like I build a garden bed and
logged off Tinder, like I just need to look at
get my vine ripe into me. Yeah, do you want
to see some pictures of my tomatoes? Oh? Yeah? Later on,
later on, later on. Job. What is something that is overrated? Okay?

(06:07):
I got a couple of Netflix recommendations for you guys.
One is, here's what's sucking overrated on Netflix? Blue Planet.
And I know what you're thinking, Sarah, you love the oceans.
How can you hate this series Blue Planet? Everyone knows
this about me, that I love the oceans. Everyone is
thinking this. I watched the episode of Blue Planet and
all it did was introduced me to various species of

(06:28):
baby animals and then show a giant predator eating those
baby animals and that was the end. Yeah, that's it.
And then it's just like, yeah, nature is tough. Yeah yeah,
on that show life and on on every other nature show,
you know, you'll see something bad happen. You'll see an
antelope get eaten or whatever, and then they're like, but

(06:52):
likely you end with the shot of some grass growing,
you know, to be like this is life, and or
you show it a happy family, some ducks flying for
the first time. You know, you end on a high note.
The Blue Planet, it was just like, here's a baby
wal risk. Here it is getting eaten. Here's a baby
seal here it is getting eaten. Here it is getting
meat like cute, and like the last shot is just

(07:13):
like a shark like shipping out of it was it
was an or and like a blood splotch in the walls.
And then the executive producer I remember the first and
that was highest Ship. You get Highest Ship to watch
nature shows. You don't, yeah, you don't want to give
because especially I'm sure you start off like oh, I'm
looking at the little bit yeah, and then like what

(07:36):
why is that whale getting close? Like No, even when
they do, like show the Circle of Life, it's not
that satisfying because like I think it was the first
Blue planet. They have like these uh, this family of
whales and there's a baby whale and it gets picked
off by these sharks or something and eventually eaten. And

(07:57):
then they're like, but like the way it nature works,
it sinks to the bottom and becomes food for this
giant ecosystem. You see a million types of crabs eating it.
But it's all like busting animals. It's all like seaworms. Yeah,
it's like, oh, by the way, there are six ft
long megots at the bottom of the ocean that just

(08:19):
devoured the baby. Don't worry. This dead baby is going
to keep these worms a lot. It's like, yes, perfect,
thank god, great, alright, Like as the young seaworm breaches
the seals skull from the inside and let me realized
that the sea the baby whale was still alive, It's like,
oh god, fuck is this? What is something that's underrated? Underrated?

(08:42):
All right, So you're not watching Blue Planet anymore. We're
saying no to Blue Planet. Here's what you need to
watch on Netflix. And I'm about to blow up this
spot for you, guys. I'm about to blow it open wide.
Age gap Love the best show on Netflix. Are you
into this? It is. I'm a professional, get high and
watch Netflix person, and I already know that the nature,
the nature things, the nature things already have I know

(09:04):
that's a risk. That's when I'm like old devil or
says with young people, Oh I'm in age gap. Love
is a show about couples with huge age gaps. We're
talking we're not talking like a tenure. We're talking sometimes sixty,
like sixty. Yeah, on average, it's a thirty to forty
your age gap. These couples of the couples are the

(09:25):
couples are the best because there's like there's kind of
and they're British, so they're all fucking crazy looking. There's
two major types. One is like an older woman with
a younger man, and the younger man has some kind
of health problem like forces him to be with an
older woman who like can kind of be there all
the time and take care of them. Conversely, they're like
I always thought they would take care of me, but

(09:46):
I'm taking care of him. Yes, I'm diabetic now from
taking too much, and it's like oh yeah, she's like
I'm glad I have this boy toy or whatever. And
then the other the other main type is an old
man who got with his son's old friend when they
got married. Like that's the general archetype where it's like
they met when she was sixteen in a pub because

(10:07):
that's what you do in Britain, and he was like
an old No, you go drinking with your friends and
then you fall in love with the bartender who's your
friend's dad, and you fuck him, and then you get married,
and then you have babies with him because he still
wants to have babies, and then their families don't talk
to them anymore. Yeah, it's wild. Yeah, those are the
ones where it's like clearly a borderline abusive relation. A
couple of my favorite couples, there's the one of the

(10:27):
old woman who was like when her husband on his
deathbed was like, get a titty job and go out
and date. It was basically Joan is the breakout star
of the show, angling for her own reality series, and
she fucking deserves it. She's like a seventy two year
old lady and she has the craziest job. It's crazy,
and she says, I was married to the greatest man

(10:50):
for fifty years. On his deathbed, he was like, go
get those tits and a young guy, which like whether
or not you believe that is video evidence of this
last moment, just her words, as you know, he said
it through a muffled pillow. She's just get this insurance name.

(11:11):
Uh yeah, I mean again. Also, you know she needs
a bit of a glow up. You know, I'm not
I'm not trying to drag ma, but you know you
want TV mob. We gotta check the mask out a
little bit, you know what I mean, maybe maybe do
something with the hair. We gotta get a little hair.
We gotta get her a wig, she really good wig.
And she's like, because then she would be she would
be a fly. She's so excited about her huge her

(11:32):
tips are so crazy. And then in like the first episode,
she goes to get to see a doctor to see
her she can get them bigger, and the doctor is like, no, man,
you will die. Yeah, she's not bad for your back,
just regularly like most people get like some people have
to get reductions. She's given herself back pain with this.
And there's like she'll always be like I can see
people looking when I walk down the street, and I'm like,

(11:54):
it's not it's a spectacle. The least so the old
man calls. She called was her young lovers toy boys.
So the old guy who marries his son's daughter, son's
best friend, his sons, his son's girlfriend, whatever. I understand

(12:15):
his family cutting him off, But does her family cut
her off too because they're just like, I don't want
to picture his balls or like generally her family is like, um,
like really like clearly not really okay with it, but
also doesn't want to cut their daughter out of their life.
They're like they're just worried about her, you know. So, yeah,
there will be a lot of the parents being like

(12:35):
when I first heard about it, I was pretty upset.
How it's fine. Wasn't there one woman? I'm still upset
there was like one woman. Wasn't she like dating her
son's sally from prison? Oh my god, I haven't seen that,
Like her son was in prison, and then another dude
came out. She was writing in letters and now they're together.
You know that one's messy. Also, then there's another. The
one I know you've seen is the old Austrian millionaire

(12:57):
who like owns them all and he got the young
Oh no, he's yeah, yeah, he's he's a mallowner. He's
an Austria. She's German, I think, right, Yeah, she's like
Belgian or something or Swedish. I think she's Swedish. She's
the play ex playboy bunny or something. And she treats
him like ship. Yeah, that's the one that's like the
classic old man young woman. He's rich. She's not like

(13:21):
general on Age Gap Love. They're all poor, you know,
like overall, but that that one stood out because it
was like, oh, she's clearly just marrying this whole guy
for his money whatever, and she treats him like ship.
It's like she almost calls him fox stick, you know
what I mean. She's will like I want champagne. He's
like okay, like can you get up and do this?
He's so fucking old, Like I get that, maybe like
that's your main or you know, you want to be

(13:42):
like boo, can you get that this man is so old.
Don't make him get up back and over just to
be like I want more champagne. But he's also shady
to her. He's always coughing her face. She is fine,
I guess, yeah. Anyway, yeah, chet, it's a fucking trip.
If you love if favorite my favorite couple. I think

(14:03):
there's one, there's one in San Jose. The young men
also always have like a curly wax mustache, you know
what I mean. And they generally fall in love because
they have some weird shared interest like LARPing or like
organ music or something, and they're like, yeah, we met
through the organ community, right like that, or they're like, yeah,
we're like steampunk pirates. We met on a slayer message board.

(14:27):
Oh no, no, a deep purple message. That one was scary.
That one was like, he's that's an unhealthy relations super controlling,
super control, and he like flew in from Scotland. He
got to marry him and have his baby, like so
it's it's dark. Her relationship to steampunk is so authentic
because when she grew up she had to pedal her
own watching alright, she's like, what do you mean you

(14:50):
don't know how to mend the bellows? Watch watch a
gap love and you know, just because left cry. But
at least they're humans who are living their best life,
unlike tragic lead seals losing their lives very early on.
Some of those couples are truly inspiring and you can
tell they really love each other and it's just and
you know, what it does force you into a bit
of introspection about like relationships because when you see sort
of like these exaggerated couples, the problems are very pronounced

(15:15):
or not pronounced. But then you can kind of be like, oh, ship,
that's like a small thing that you overlook in a
relationship all heterosexual couples. And it's interesting to see like
a portrayal of heterosexual couples where like you're kind of
being invited to gawk at them, but also not like
the show is, they never say like, they never make
fun of them overtly, you know, they never say like

(15:36):
cheeky descriptions. Yeah, yeah, and they just they used the
phrase age gap a lot because that's the only way
you can say it without it sounding really bad. Chicken
hawk right right. Uh. Finally, what is a myth? What's
something people think it's true, you know to be false.
Something people think is true is that my podcast Left
Coast is hosted by two people and when in fact

(15:57):
it is now hosted by me. Solo mission Baby Left
List is I'm flying solo and we have our first
solo episode out today with Jeff Weiss's former writer for
The l A Weekly, on to tell you what happened
to the Weekly. Yeah, so the l A Weekly got
bought out in November by these like secret neo KHN
like yes, Sinclair Media at Claremont Institute people, and they're

(16:22):
still running it, but it's a zombie paper because they
fired all the writers and then they were like, does
anyone have any writers? And everyone was like no, it's
a It's a really incredible story. And it's also part
of like, you know, this movement that we've seen across
the country of like like your local weekly getting fucking
bought out or bankrupted or whatever and independent journalism. Yeah,

(16:43):
And what's crazy is like, you know, we keep hearing
about the death of print journalism, you know, and I
just keep thinking, oh, that means papers shutting down. But
what it means instead, it turns out, is huge national
media groups like Sinclair buying out like ten papers, running
super conservative articles in the op ed section, and then
just using the former prestige of the paper to bleed

(17:06):
advertisers as subscription numbers drop, and they're like, okay, yeah,
like you and I look at the death of print
media and we're like this sucks. But what they look
at it as is like cool print media is dying.
Let me chip the teeth trap, let me check the
gold out of the teeth of this court distressed asset.
It's a distressed asset. They're buying it to tank it,
which is even more depressed. Come in by it, let

(17:29):
it die, and then like build it back up and yeah,
and just sell sell the end. And we lost a
lot of local websites to like l Aist and last Gothamists,
like that whole thing. And then, you know, this just
comes on the heels of the death of Gawker and
l Aist and you know, and it's all wealthy people
having their way, you know. With with Gawker, it was
that they outed, you know. But the really funny thing

(17:55):
about the l a Weekly story is that the people
that bought it and did this are not even good
at it. Like they didn't buy it, they didn't buy it.
Fire all the writers and then install a new staff
full of pro Trump writers. They just fired all the writers,
and then we're like, oh, we don't have any content.
And then they're not reporting the news, even in a
slanted way. They're just not doing it. Like it's like

(18:18):
they didn't have a plan. They're so bad. It's weird. Sure,
it is very Yeah. So that's out now, and I
put up. Another myth is that we don't update enough.
But in fact I put out four episodes yesterday. There
you go. I feel bad about not posting a lot
in the past. Couple. Look, we're out here living our lives.
I'm living mind. We're trying to give you all this

(18:38):
art for free, well not for free. Please subscribe to
my patriots. We're about to have some bonus content content.
We'll shout all that out at the end show when
we get Sarah her Dough. Um, I mean sorry, I'm sorry.
All right, let's get into the good stuff. The good stuff.
We're trying to take a sample of the glob will
share consciousness, what people of thinking and talking about right now.

(19:02):
Let me tap in real quick to the share got it,
jack in bro jacking, I'm dial uping. Just a word
of warning. This is going to kind of be our
for anybody who doesn't, you know, think Donald Trump is
the greatest American president. This is going to be uh,

(19:25):
sort of the Empire Strikes back slash Infinity War episode
because Infinity Empire America. Yeah, it's a it's a lot
of somewhat bad news or sort of pessimistic outtakes that
we we tryality reality, we try and be somewhat Jack's
having a breakdown. Yeah, Jackson reached his end supporting a mohawk. Yeah,

(19:48):
I'm smiling, but I have tears just streaming down my
face right now. He's got those trans metropolitan glasses where
one is like green and one lens is red, and
he's got a cigarette and he's like the end of
the world. I'm drunk. So so let's buckle up for
Kane season two. Season two, k eighteen is on its way.

(20:11):
So June first, no June one, I think, is when
Atlantic hurricane season officially begins. But you know, so I
cannot wait for those. As we've all known that climate
change is bad, and I think we've realized that it's
it's a contribute to a lot of If it was real,
it might be bad, yeah, if it was. Sadly, there's
a new report that is saying that clearly the climate

(20:33):
change and its effect on the water temperature is like
one of these single largest factors in exacerbating the frequency
and intensity of hurricane So now we're saying, okay, after
doing an analysis of last hurricane season here in the numbers. Yes,
it made ship worse. Look here's what you're not getting.
Climate change leads to hurricanes, which leads to buildings being destroyed,
which leads to a beautiful open market where developers can

(20:56):
make more shitty buildings that will then get It's called
a boom and bust. It's called capitalism. Miles, get on board.
This is the life cycle property. I look, I'm trying
to keep up, guys. It's this capitalism thing. I'm still
getting ahold, right, Okay, so just bear with me. I've
really been doing it for three weeks, like with the
like with the media. Though, this is another example of
something that is really good for venture capitalists and people

(21:18):
with loads of money to invest in different things and
off of, but it's really bad for poor people and
just people who aren't especially when you look at like
hurricanes in the Southeast. They disproportionately affect people of color
much more intensely than anyone else. But I think color
have the same opportunity to buy homes as everyone else. Right, motherfucker.

(21:40):
We can't even go into an airbnb without thinking we're
robbing it. I doubt it, but anyway, so To add
to this good news, there's also been a few forecasts
coming out a few different universities that say that there
might be even above average activity as they're saying for
this hurricane season, with like eighteen named storms, with five
like possibly major by being like Major Harvey, everybody, just

(22:05):
get the funk out of the southeast. Well, the sad
thing is right, you look at every like recovery is
still happening in Houston and clearly in Puerto Rico where
nothing has even New Orleans, Yeah, for sure. And so
it's frightening to know that there could be uh something
even close to what happened last year in terms of
hurricane season. So we'll see the the National Oceanic Atmosphere Administration,

(22:25):
they haven't put out their own predictions for the season yet,
but based on the other ones, it seems like could
be active. Record temperatures, right, and last year, last year
temperatures and the water temperatures, the water temperature is an
all time high and night was last year. And last
year we saw like three insanely powerful storm after the

(22:47):
sandy happened, and there was a community garden on Coney
Island that survived the hurricane and then a year later, Yeah,
I still need to see the idea of a swat
team wrecking a garden is like peak capitalism, you know
what I mean, Like not even like like yeah, we
hired this like lands excavation team to do it. Yeah,

(23:10):
like guys with guns came and we're like, this plan
is more than twelve inches high, just rolling up in
riot gear, just like pushing the plants over there. All right,
we're gonna take a quick break and then we'll be
back with more bed news and we're back. So there

(23:34):
was a lot of talk about three months ago about
a coming blue wave in the elections in the midterm elections. Uh.
One of the things people were pointing to was how
Democrats have been over performing in special elections and and
still overperforming, Like the turnout is higher than normal years,

(23:58):
Like like special elections historically, like turnout a solo because
you have to be particularly engaged to show up for
a special election, and the turnout has been, you know,
significantly higher than normal. Yeah, Like Alabama is an example
of this where you know, uh, Trump won by twenty
points and then a Democrat one. So they have this

(24:19):
thing called a generic ballot where they pull Americans and say,
just generally, would you vote for a Democrat or a Republican?
And as recently as a couple months ago or a
few months ago, Democrats were leading by sixteen points, and
now when those same polls were released this week, it's
down to three points and sort of inside the margin

(24:42):
of error. Uh, so reasonable question to be asked, is
our Democrats fucking this up again? Uh? How specifically are
they fucking this up again? Uh? There was a article
in the New York Times that was a interview with
a GOP strategist where he was talking it was just

(25:02):
interesting to see inside how they're viewing this and all
the goop here mentioning Nancy Pelosi as like the you know,
person that they're making their villain. Like surely that can't
still be a good use of resources. Like who cares?
She's been here for so long? Uh? Aren't Republicans tired

(25:25):
of her? At this point? And he was like, I'll
just read the guy's name. His last name is Bliss.
He said, Frank, you're very rarely wrong, but this time
you are. Nancy Pelosi is the most unpopular divisive politician
in America period. I'm very blessed to have her in
my life and hope she never ever retires. So there's

(25:46):
just like these things that I don't totally take into account,
like the just sheer, you know, vain of pulsating hatred
for Nancy Pelosi that that exists out in America. And
I mean even Democrats hate Nancy Pelosi. Why because she
sucks because she is inconsistent. Like there are times when

(26:07):
people there's a progressive wing of the party that really
wants to go left, and there's always this moderation because
she's just we're capitalist, and that's just the way it is.
I mean, she you know, she's done good. But like
it's like if you are a Democrat, like if you
really identify as a Democrat and not you know, like
any further left than that, if you're I mean that's
very center. That's that's extremely centrist to be a Democrat.

(26:28):
And Nancy Pelosi is a Democrat and a centrist. So
if you're if you vote Democrat just because it's the
only major party that you can vote for, but your
interests are really further left than that, Nancy Pelosi is
a very disappointing politician because she never goes progressive. She
always goes center, so like but again, like I mean,
but she's also left enough that all Republicans super hate her,

(26:51):
right uh. But also to call her the most divisive
politician in the country when we have Trump pro president
is a little bit. But that's but that's a right
wing operative having to do spin to be like, well,
don't worry, we have a plan to when it's Look,
let's be real, they're also fighting an uphill battle too,
but how we're making it different. We're pointing to her
for a reason. I just think there's something like the

(27:12):
last time, probably because she's an older lady, right well,
the thing that's reminded me of Marshall Clark from the
O J Trial and they kind of have the same
hair do So I'm like wondering if there's a wacky
perm like wondering if there's something about like that just
general look that makes conservai I think also too, she
reminds them of the Obama administration, which she speakers, so

(27:33):
you have that also to you know, get people fired up.
She's also been in power for a really long time,
you know, she's just been there for a really long time.
So there's a lot too. Yeah, there's a lot of
history to go through and things to blame on her
because of her long career. Yeah. There's also a really
interesting article in Bloomberg today. Uh that is by a
Pulitzer Prize winning nonfiction writer talking about sort of this

(27:57):
alternate history of Watergate. It I hadn't really been familiar
with where Basin was innocent, right, Basically Nixon innocent. Nixon
was the victim of a handful of liberal journalists from
Washington and New York who were out to quote get
the president. I mean I thought that was the whole point, right,

(28:23):
But you're saying in terms of like spinning that into
like a culture war kind of thing, of like this
the liberal media agenda to take clinics in sort of thing. Yeah, essentially,
Like the thing that I had always heard was it's
crazy that Nixon won by this landslide election like right
before Watergate. Uh, but it's actually when you think about that,

(28:44):
people don't just change their mind. Like all those people
who voted for and weren't just like, well, we were wrong,
because that's just not how they were just like well
this is fine, right, they were just angry, and you know,
they just buried that and we're angry at the media,
and you know, this person draws continuity between uh, sort

(29:05):
of that the buried sort of resentment for taking Nixon
down right through Reagan who actually never admitted that Nixon
was had done anything wrong and said that it was
all a conspiracy to take down Nixon by the media,
and then I really think you can almost connect it,
like when put in this context, you can draw lines

(29:27):
straight through Trump and his ability to tap into Nixon
came to power via this. I think it was called
like the invisible majority, where you know, he talked about
tapping into this that's all the ghosts that vote right exactly.
But it's you know, it's basically the people who who

(29:49):
voted Trump in. And it's it's not necessarily the blue
collar people we think it is. It's just, you know,
I think it can be a term for you know,
resentful white people or like racist white people who are
willing to vote on invisible majority sounds a lot better
than racist white right. I just think it's this is

(30:11):
kind of going back to that Empire strikes back thing,
where like I've just been reading all these articles that
are making me think like, actually, you know, in my mind,
going into I was like, yeah, it would be like
a huge upset if Trump were to actually win again,
because he's like proven himself to be so insanely incompetent.
But if you view him on a continuum with like

(30:33):
Nixon and Reagan, those guys both one reelection in like
historic landslides, and I just I don't know, he seems
you think it's gonna happen again. I'm just saying it
might be a question worth asking rather than just assuming
that he's going to be swept out of office, because
I mean, yeah, if if you're asking me, do I

(30:54):
think Trump will be reelected as lutely, yeah, it's possible.
It's it's it's possible completely. It's not definitely out of
the realm of if any If you think anything is impossible,
you've not been paying attention to less to five years. Well,
I think the other thing to consider, you know, that
kind of adds to the sort of dampening of enthusiasm
is when you look at like the Cook Political Report,
who does a lot of the projections and things on

(31:15):
House pickups, Senate pickups going into the mid terms. Right now,
Democratic Democrat pickups are around forty seats in the House
which is enough to take control of the House, but
on the Senate side is not as sort of, uh,
they're not as confident that there's gonna be major pickups.
Are saying maybe the Democrats can pick up two seats,
but they also believe that the Republicans pick up around
one maybe more So it would be an interesting thing

(31:38):
to see the House go blue, but then the Senate
go further red, which would be it should be a
rare instance. But yeah, that's another thing to kind of
pay attention to. And I think a lot of the
reason why it's easy to get swept up and feel
like really good about man Trump would be out all
these scandals is because there's all this focus on the
scandal and everyone just that just sort of contributes to this,

(31:58):
I think sort of sentiment of like, oh, of course
this can't stand. Then, of course this can't stand much longer.
Do you remember the fucking election? Do you remember how
craving by the pussy happened and his numbers went up? Like,
I don't understand what level of scandal is Like if
you think that everything bad that has happened during the
Trump presidency is going to make it harder for him

(32:19):
to get reelected. Please remember how fucking awful was and
how things just kept coming out and coming out, and
he said more and more terrible things, and it did
not make a difference because the people that voted for
Trump don't give a fuck, you know what. I mean
that either don't care, or they thought that he was
going to bring them something good enough jobs essentially that

(32:39):
would make it. They were like, you know what, I
don't care if he says misogynist things. I just want
my coal mining job back, right. But like more often
it's just rich people that are like, I don't give
a funk what he says. He's going to make sure
I got my money, right. And the other thing too,
is he did a good job of selling people on
a product. I mean, yeah, people thinking that they were
going to have better health care than they do now
and it was going to be cheaper. He told people
he was going to take care of him and they

(33:00):
believed him. And the fact that he said all that
terrible ship. Either they were like, that's great, I also
secretly hate Mexicans, or they were like, m I don't
hate Mexicans, but I also need healthcare more than I
need more immigrants here. You know, so like I don't.
I just don't see how any like the world is
backwards now everything bad he does helps him, And I
think that's why it's it's a little weird when like

(33:21):
a lot of the messaging is centered around what Trump
is doing. Like we already know if you're trying to
convince me about how bad Donald Trump is, everyone is convinced.
You're not going to sway that. What Democrats need to
do is sell a fucking product. Again, you can't just
be like, hey, we're better than Trump, because yeah, no,
ship everyone is. But like this is again, like how
could Hillary lose an election against somebody who was like,

(33:44):
by all normal metrics, she should have fucking wiped the
floor with him, right just on the basis of her
being a more experienced politician who was not openly racist,
you know. But but she didn't because that was all
she had. She was just like, hey, I'm not Trump.
And then it's like, no selling something because like right
now it's barely one, barely one on the basis of
I'm not an obvious pedophile, Like if we are going

(34:07):
to pick up seas in the house, if Democrats are
going to do that, like again, you have to have
something other than I'm not a racist, I'm not a
pedophile because clearly nobody gives a fun. Well that doesn't
connect to how am I going to feed my kids?
How am I going to pay for my medication? How
am I going to do this? I don't give a
funk if Trump is having an affair. How the fuck
are you going to strengthen the labor union? How are
you going to subsidize my childcare? Can you give me

(34:29):
a full time job with benefits because nobody fucking has
that anymore? Can you make college affordable for my kids?
Can you make healthcare something that I have sucking access to?
Can you like give me food, give me food stamps,
give me something? Right, there's still time, but there's a
lot of work to be done, So I mean yeah,
because you know, it's it's fun to parade around with
like Michael Avenandi is getting everybody excited with leaks and shrape. Yeah,
you can't just get away with hey, we believe in

(34:50):
global warming anymore? Like great, what are you gonna fucking do?
So we'll see, we'll see huh yeah, or maybe maybe
maybe we'll be dead. Yeah, maybe we'll just you know,
a great Uh is he vote in mid terms? Uh? So?
I also wanted to talk about the bias that has

(35:10):
been sort of making itself more evident to me in
the past couple of weeks, and that is the conservative
bias by the mainstream media. You usually here the mainstream
media referred to as having a liberal bias. But there's
what Alex Jones told me. I think that's generally agreed

(35:31):
to by the mainstream media that oh, yeah, like they
have a liberal bias and named Fox has a conservative bias,
and that's just like, those are the two sides. And
I think that's that's what Fox News wants you to
believe too, that yeah, they've they've successfully defined the argument
that we use these labels that because you're reporting on ship,

(35:51):
that's liberal and if you're spinning ship as propaganda, that's conservative. Right,
And uh, I was noticing it a lot with NPR
this morning, and NP are supposed to be liberal, right.
NPR is like supposed to be the most liberal outlets.
Like if you're gonna central casting the idea of a
liberal pipster, it's someone who has like an MPR shirt, right.

(36:12):
But I think people who work at these outlets are
sort of uh conditioned to think that they are doing
a good job and being fair and balanced anytime they
make a concession to conservatives. Uh. And so there was
an interview that MPR conducted in the past couple of
days with John Kelly where he says just all sorts

(36:35):
of wild shit about illegal immigrants that NPR like edited
down to make it so it's very So let's let's
hear how they presented this interview. So this is what aired.
So this is what aired. And then so this is them, like,
amongst talking things about the around deal, North Korea, things
like that, they get to immigration and this was specifically

(36:57):
something about zero tolerance policy that they adminished station and
announce that they're like, we don't give a funk, were
breaking up families because we're empathetic anyway. So this is
the journalist setting up this answer from John Kelly. Well,
you can really hear that in his comments they differ
from his boss is polarizing rhetoric, and yet they still
agree on tough border controls. Let me step back and

(37:19):
tell you that the vast majority of the people that
move illegally into United States are not bad people. They're
not criminals. Not MS thirteen. But they're also not people
that would easily assimilate into the United States. They're overwhelmingly
rural people in the countries they come from. Fourth, fifth,
sixth grade educations are kind of the norm. Uh, they're
coming here for a reason, and I sympathize with the reason,

(37:42):
but the laws of the laws. So so yeah, dumb
and poor and rural. That doesn't sound like America at all.
That doesn't sound like the exact same attacks that I'm
sure the Irish and Italians faced. It's crazy, like y'all
see that children of the Opioid crisis thing, Like you're
telling me those people aren't poor and rural in a
fifth seven grade educations, like they're fucking Americans living in

(38:02):
this country yet. But it's crazy that they framed that
as this guy is more measured and reasonable, right, and
that that was his response. But what's crazy is they
left out the real problematic ship in that answer. So
he goes on to say he just goes fourth fix
sixth grade educations are kind of the norm. Then he
goes on, they don't speak English, obviously that's a big thing.
And then it's ellipsus. I don't know what was there.

(38:24):
They don't integrate, well, they don't have skills. They're not
bad people, they don't have skill. Yeah, they don't integrate, well,
they don't have skills. They left that whole other part
out to like before going they would love to see
John Kelly's nanny. Yeah right, it's uh. I think it's
just like a broomstick wearing an Uncle Sam costume or something.
So going on. I was another thing I was listening

(38:46):
to on NPR was their politics show Weekly round Up
where they were talking about North Korea, and they described
it as you know, the release of the hostages is
undoubtedly a win because that's what the perception is. And
they even refer to pulling that shows that people think
people are now more willing to trust Trump on North Korea,

(39:10):
and they basically report they follow the trends of what
the sort of central belief is of the country, rather
than pointing out that it's a wild misconception that people
are thinking that Trump is doing good on North Korea. So,
just going through a couple of the things they talked about,
they say, his tough talk maybe working is the thought

(39:33):
that people have like by threatening North Korea, his tough talk,
I mean is it working. So we don't know yet,
I mean realistic, we don't know yet, right, I'd say
the chances are that North Korea and Kim Jong wun
think they can fleece him because he's chaotic and the
opposite of careful, like for instance, during the hostage release,

(39:55):
he said Kim Jong wu treated the hostage as well,
which is just like a crazy thing that he said
off the cuff, which is insane. No person who has
had their freedom taken away from them for any amount
of time is not going to come up and show
said specifically that you know him calling him rocketman worked
worked in What was it supposed to accomplish? First of all,

(40:17):
it was not by design. It was clearly out of
a like just bullsh need to out dick measure Kim
Jong un. But getting North Korea to come to the
table and meet with the US president is not an accomplishment.
Past presidents didn't do it because they wouldn't do it.
It's a big concession to North Korea. We just gave them.

(40:38):
We just gave them a huge bargaining chip. And like
he agreed to it without consulting with any advisors. He
did it just off the fucking cuff. And this is
a huge way media is covering it as like this
guy is a miracle work and he finally got North
Korea to sit down and funk us. Clinton like was

(40:58):
the last person who was even considering meeting with North Korea.
He sat Madeline all Bright and she was like, no
fucking way, these people are crazy, Like we're not even
we're nowhere close to like being able to meet together. Um,
And I don't know, it just seems like he's doing
everything for the purposes of short term self aggrandizement. Like people,
it's very clear that he's doing that. But because there's

(41:19):
this misconception that oh, he's you know, winning on North Korea,
because people see this meeting as a good thing and
a political win, NPR is just you know, following along
and being like, yeah, I mean he's clearly winning and
being bold and daring with this uh gambit again, because
I think a lot of these people they don't want

(41:40):
to get into a situation where suddenly Bright Bart and
that people they've drum up the people on the right
to be like, look at this crazy liberal biases answer,
and they don't want to have to defend themselves you know,
I think it's easier to just like do this halfast
reporting and not and just sort of spin it and
like a soft wave still have facts that the reader
kind of figure out. You're just like, I mean, they're
just echoing the line that that you know, huw could

(42:02):
be Sanders is giving, which is like, Wow, it's this
great major victory for us to sit down with North Korea,
when in reality, number one, like what is that going
to accomplish? North Korea is just gonna be like, hey,
fuck you, and then it's gonna be over that. We
have no idea and we have no idea that pulling
out of the Iran deal is going to affect that.
I mean, not to mention that he just he left
two American people that are in prison over there. Yet
just because things are happening doesn't mean any of them

(42:23):
are good or that it's progress. And that's but that's
what the Trump administration wants you to believe, is that hey,
we're sitting down and we're talking and things are happening.
But journalists are supposed to be the ones saying, actually,
this might not be a good thing, But instead they're
just they're just given the line That's like when I
would try and write a term paper in college and
I would consider opening up word and creating a new
document as work that day. And because I'm not I'm

(42:46):
not about to write these twenty pages, but I just
open and then we'll be like, well, you know, I'm
I started it in my in my head, I'll be like,
you know, I'm starting it. What I do I'm looking
at a blinking cursor on a blank document. I think also,
it's exhausting to just point out how wrong they are
and everything they say over and over, and that is
your whole podcast. It gives the appearance exactly that you

(43:10):
know why I've lost most of my hair now. But
it gives the appearance of being balanced if sometimes you're saying, well,
good for them on that one though, and that's not
what balance just by definition, like just because you feel
like you need a positive statement in there, you're not
an NBA ref who's just given a foul on the

(43:30):
other side of the court because you missed one. I mean,
isn't this what that guy in the Philippines did where
he was like, hey, if you don't write good stuff
about my administration, uh, you don't get to come to
press conferences. That's supposed to be a thing that we
don't do in America, But I think it's a thing
that journalists know is going to happen or is already happening,
where if you don't support some of their ship, they're
just gonna not give you the beat that you cover.
That is your job. That's why some wealthy people to

(43:52):
just fucking bankroll these things. And they can. Yeah, but
I'm saying no, no, no, no, no like that, not
like that, but a conglomeration, like I think, because advertising
is ultimately affecting everything, and that's that's that's because they're like, well, fuck,
I kind of you know what I mean, I think
is owning these advertising Like who's paying for the ads?

(44:13):
It's just all these like you know, major companies and
billionaires and stuff, Like they're the ones paying for these papers.
And if they don't like what's in paper, they're not
going to advertise, and then the paper's debt. Right. What
I'm saying is, even though despite that, I'm like, if
you can if you can eliminate the need for an
advertisement in a in a paper, right, and it can
just be pure journalism. That's really the only way I

(44:34):
think that you can remedy or I'm not that it's
the only way to remedy that, but that's a contributing fact.
That's what the Internet was supposed to be. It was
supposed to be a place where you could run a
publication for a much lower cost because you don't have
to print anything, right, So you were supposed to be
able to have less advertisers. But I mean, how did
that turn out? Go got bought? Like everything's run by
the advertisers. Like putting different money into an industry is

(44:54):
not a way to like get less control. Well, but
if you're beholden to the revenue from advertising, then what's
the way around that, is what I'm saying. I don't
think there is one. If you are beholding to advertising,
your beholding to advertising, like whoever's got the money is
Like the idea of a free press is a purely
like theoretical right. If there was a way to run
a truly free press, then yeah, you could. You would

(45:16):
have at least a reporter's biases, but you wouldn't have
I don't think like that. Maybe it's a little pessimistic,
but the way that the industry works in the way
that the press is forced to operate under under capitalism,
which is what we do, which means you have to
depend on advertisers. There's no way, I mean, And what's
the other option is a government run newspaper, which is

(45:37):
not much better. At the same time, like I mean,
the it is a little fourth state, like the democratic
government does not work just period. If you don't have
a thriving media that can independently report facts and you know,
I don't know, give of the military budget to you know,

(46:00):
media outlets and see if that helps. Yeah, because we
don't value the free press in this country as much
as you know the alright, we'll scream about free speech,
we don't care about that, and we don't care about schools,
and we don't care about art because we don't fund
these things, like compared to other countries. We don't give
money for independent press. No, no, I won't do anything

(46:21):
that would. We don't do anything fire anything remotely close
to free thinking exactly. So like this was sort of
the point the whole time. The alt right wouldn't exist
if we had a active and functioning worth the state.
Just one other place I've been seeing this sort of
right word tilt in mainstream media coverages of the CIA
director hearings or girl power in the CIA. You can't

(46:46):
fucking write this ship she yas queen torture. She has
refused to disavow. Uh. The director of the CIA or
presumptive soon to be had her hearing earlier this week.
It lasted two hours, and she was pressed on, you know,

(47:11):
the fact that she was involved with the water boarding
of terrorism suspects, and you know, okay, I think some
people were like back then, Uh, that's what people thought
was okay. And she was sent into this black site
after somebody had been waterboarded eighty times and had to
be resuscitated. And I heard a c I A person say, actually,

(47:35):
we sent her in because we wanted her to get
a fucking handle on it, because it was just like
out of control. And she only waterboarded people two times
or whatever. Fine, But she at her hearing refused to condemn,
to say it was immoral. Yeah, she didn't say it
was immoral, and she wouldn't say that it was impractical
or that that was the case if she was sent

(47:56):
into like get the ship under control. She had been
coming out saying we were fucking up and water boarding
a lot. And I came in and I said, no,
did two water boards. I didn't do like eighty like
like fucking rick or whatever. I fired that intern, Yeah,
fired that water boarding. And the other tack that they're
taking is now you have people trying to justify torture

(48:19):
to to make her look cleaner because whether it's to
be like, well, they're a sexist, which is the first
argument they tried to do, because she's well, I mean,
the torture so lady like that the new thing is torture,
right that they're trying to spin torture like Dick Cheney's
dumb fucking ass came back out from the grave from
the Death Star being like, well, we we should like
analyze it. I think I think you know it was

(48:40):
a torture. Yeah it wasn't or he said it wasn't
called it wasn't considered torture back then. Okay, But that's
not the thing that people don't save. We were all alive.
I remember water boarding always being But I feel like
the thing that people don't report in the mainstream media
is that it has been investigated. We've looked at whether
it works or not, and it doesn't get you. You're

(49:02):
no more likely to get accurate information. What you get
is what they think you want to hear. Too. If
you break them, they will tell you what they think
you want to hear. They won't. It has no bearing
on the truth. Uh. Somebody pointed out that John McCain,
while he's like against torture and therefore against aspell that he,

(49:23):
on the other hand, is an example that torture works
because he's like, so, you know, shell shocked from it
or whatever, and actually it didn't work. He says that
he told the people who were torturing him and who
asked for the names, he gave them the names of
the Green Bay Packers offensive line. I mean, regardless of

(49:43):
whether or not he did or did it, you know,
the idea of just even like this guy just went
on TV and he's like, was like sort of maligning him,
just being like they called him singing John or something
like that, and it's like, first of all, don't get that.
You don't need to get messy like that. It was
on Fox Business of all channels too. I don't know
why they they they'll have those hot takes and they're
I don't know why. On the on the Business change Traders. Yeah.

(50:05):
But and then even today, like it's it's weird how now,
just because John McCain has been such an outspoken critic
of torture that even then there are people in the
like White House who are like, oh, who cares, but
he's about to die anyway, like that they're just saying
like this that now, like it's just they know that
this is a bad look to put someone up to
be the head of the CIA who has like old

(50:26):
like life for career CIA operatives like screaming in the
middle of the confirmation about how she's dangerous. Yeah, like
this is an abomination getting like dislocated this old man's
arm because he was standing agent, Yeah, because he was like, Yo,
this is bullsh this is fucked up. Like when when
the CIA operatives are saying this is fun and who

(50:47):
knows what this guy did in the seventies like wherever whatever,
then you know, you know who's a good CIA agent
is a terrible person. So like if a CIA agent
is saying this woman does ship, that's morally unacceptable, Like
that's that's dark. I don't want to think about it.
But it's also I feel like the way that I've
seen it covered in the mainstream media, is that it's
an unfortunate fact that this stuff works, and like sometimes

(51:09):
you have to do it because it was after nine
eleven and you know, we had to be like get
down to business. And it's considered a necessary evil, right,
And in addition to being shown to not work and
just get you whatever they think you want to hear,
it's been shown to be bad from a national security
perspective because it makes people, It makes people hate us.
It makes us seem like we think we're above international

(51:31):
law because there is international law against it, which isn't
great in a week when we are breaking our contracts
with foreign countries. Um. Yeah. And also, I mean it's
important for her to come out and disavow this as
completely immoral because she's going to work for a commander
in chief who has come out and said he thinks

(51:51):
it's not wrong. Yeah, he has zero boundaries, and he's
like and like kill the families, right, like is his
tactic to deal with terror. Everybody like I bring water
boarding back, and I'd bring a lot worse back. He
specifically said that and said that like he thinks we
should be torturing harder I mean, it's it's just incredible
how you know, the conservatives are framing this argument as

(52:12):
the reason that we haven't won in the Middle East
is not because of our long history of meddling in
every every single election, every single like self determination attempt
that every single country in the Middle East, you know,
like our our decades long efforts to destabilize the Middle
East and and just draw all its oil out. And

(52:36):
he's like, no, the problem is that they hate our
freedoms and we're not torturing hard enough, you know what
I mean, as if the reason that other countries hate
us is just because we're America and they hate us
cause us and it's I just like, it's so disingenuous,
and it's so like the idea that we're not winning

(52:56):
because we're not torturing hard enough, rather than we're not
winning because we caused all the problems that we're fighting against. Anyway. Yeah,
it's it's very reductive. But yeah, but Americans don't want
to hear that. Yeahs not to justify, but that's you know,
it's like that's just the hard ship, the hard facts
of this country that it's hard for people to wrestle
with that Yo, we like nine out of a hundred

(53:21):
questions you can answer with I think the US did something.
And even Trump has come out and said that, Yeah,
one of his generals got to him and was like,
you know, torture doesn't work, dude, Like it just doesn't work.
And so now he's changed his tune on that, but
he still thinks it's like justified and that he should
use it if it did work, right, He just whatever.

(53:43):
But it's it's just insane that she wouldn't come out
and say it was immoral. And NPR talked about this
like it's a harsh but effective thing. Uh, And I
don't know. There just seems to be a supposedly liberal
journalist who takes everything national security experts say to them
as gospel because they feel insecure because the conservatives and

(54:05):
hawks have made them feel like bitches for not wanting war. Right. Yeah,
if you're not for water boarding, then I guess you
don't really care about America now. Granted, Hasspell has come
out and said she's not going to restart torturing people
if she does get confirmed as the head of the CIA.
The specific places she wouldn't budge are coming out and saying,
you know, what was done when she was in charge

(54:27):
of that black site was wrong and that torture was ineffective,
both things that I think are obviously pretty easy things
to say. But it was bad and ineffective, so I
won't do it again, versus like it was fine, I
won't do it probably. But the NPR reporter that I

(54:48):
was listening to was like, well, those are big asks,
because you know, that's asking her to come out and
you know, throw the people who she had worked with
under the bus. And it's just like, this doesn't make
you look tough, the doesn't make you look balanced. That
just makes you look like an asshole. All right, we're
gonna take a quick break. We'll be right back, and

(55:15):
we're back. And there was one of the great international
sporting events. Uh, bigger than the Olympics, Bigger than the Olympics,
bigger than I mean, fun, the NBA Playoffs, bigger than
the World Cup. Is the annual game that's playing in
Russia where putin fucking things on a bunch of fucking

(55:36):
losers in hockey. So the fourth term emper of Russia
he played in his annual match this year and it's
where he is basically one every time. So this year
his team is made of a former NHL players like
fucking Pavelo Burrey and Slava Fetisov. Like Putin every year
is like time for me to play some hockey. And
then he gets a team together of professional hockey players

(55:58):
for our former professional Russian hockey players and they play
who they play an opposing team of amateurs like a
governor brother amateurs and a quote pro Putin billionaire is
who the opposition team is. Yeah, it sucking amazing this
game when you watch the highlights because this dude, the

(56:18):
way they you're defending him, it's like he has VX
nerve agent coming off of his body, like they're not
trying to get near him. Also, my man, he used
to play hockey for many years. Your wrist shot is
fucking suss Son. You gotta get your wrist shot up. Also,
the goalkeeper, how did you let him go? Tweeters on
you like that? It was just there were so many
goals that were scored, like in a way that I
was cringing for the people who like had to even

(56:40):
quote unquote defend him. But you know, this is how
he gets down, This is how you flex on the country.
Let him know that big dogs are charge. He's scoring
wild goals, five goals in this game. But you can
tell his sixty five years of age is catching up
to him because if you look last year, he scored
seven goals. Okay, score fucking eight. Uh. You know he's

(57:01):
getting up there, but still a warrior. The Warriors performance
he gave how many years before? You think we have
this same uh with Trump? Yeah, I hope zero. I
hope it happens immediately because can you imagine that slow
motion video of Trump jogging around a court like just
it's like a like a net bag full of water balloons,

(57:23):
just like swaying, and body is only built for golf.
That's the only thing. Can barely walk off. He could
convince himself that he could play baseball, because I think
there was at a certain point, uh where he said
that he was like one of the great baseball players
of you should see me turn to y'all seen that ass?

(57:45):
Oh yeah, I mean he has baseball ass. So like,
let's get let's get that ass in some basketball shorts
and let's get it on the court. Let's get him
and Lebron's in the same place to be him Uh,
fucking what's the little racist troll dude? His name who
grew up in saying Stephen Miller? Yeah, him, Stephen Miller,
seb Gorka, Mike Pence, Sarah Sarah, Hugby Sanders versus Cheryl Swoops,

(58:09):
Lebron James, Kevin Durant skipped to My Loo from the
an One mixtape tour Hot Sauce and just like fucking
twist these suckers up. Oh my god, that would be hilarious,
but it won't happen because, yeah, are we far off
maybe not from seeing this kind of ship, because that's
precisely the kind of thing. Look, if we're going to
live in a dystopia, I want the fun part, right,
I want the fun part. I want to see the

(58:30):
presative out of breath. I want to see him throw
up courtside from jogging three steps. I not gonna see that.
He would probably sooner make up a sport that is
uniquely suited to him, Like first you're gonna see how
many Big Max you can eat, and then you're gonna
hit one golf ball. Then you are going to pick
out a wife and then destroy evidence. Uh, all right,

(58:51):
it's time for our weekly segment of Floyd Watch. Uh.
So there there's some big news in the world of
Brad Pitt. Uh at least the tabloids are claiming that
the tabloids decided we need a big Brad Pitt story
this week. Uh, they couldn't get together get their stories together.

(59:15):
So on one cover it is that Brad got somebody pregnant.
Uh it's not his m I T girlfriend. They say
it's not. He's just dating a professor a good job her. Yeah,
but this is just on a anonymous source. Uh. And

(59:36):
also the fact that some of star magazines like Seleb
Watchers saw him out and about and he seemed stressed
about something. He had his hand on his stomach, padding
his stomach, which, as we know from uh you know
soap operas, if a woman touches her stomach and like
looks off pensively, that means she's pregnant. So apparently the

(59:59):
transitive property says that I don't even I don't wash
my stomach because I don't want to get pregnant. I
don't touch it, I don't look at it. No, that's
this is how They also said he has puffy eyes,
more gray hairs on his beard, than normal. Uh, those
are all the signs. I mean, that's how he got
some how my wife learned that we were pregnant was
that I was touching my stomach. She was like, should

(01:00:21):
I get a test? And you were like, no, no, no,
I got some hold on, hold on, Oh my god,
I'm pregnant. Jack. Wait are you touching your stomach on
that way? Oh god? Lots of women don't know. If
you look at a man while touching your stomach, he
has impregnated. Yes, exactly, I'm now having because made I
was touching my stomach. Uh, and I've got a lot

(01:00:42):
of women pregnant like that. On in and in Touch magazine,
the cover stories that Brad going to get Jen pregnant.
So on one side, he knocked up a random woman,
but we don't know who it is and the only
evidence we have is that he walked down the street
looking like shit. And then in another magazine cover stories,

(01:01:03):
the cover story is specifically let's have a baby Brad
and Jen uh so, and it's a picture of them
together from fifteen years ago when they were actually a couple. Uh.
Two thousand and six interview with Jennifer Anderson has a
quote saying that women who inspire her have kids and

(01:01:25):
a career. Uh. A two thousand six interview that they
dug up with Jennifer Aniston said that she is inspired
by women who have both kids and a career. Uh.
And they found a friend, an anonymous friend, obviously, Jenniferranston,
who says, uh that they could do IVF, so, you know,
because she's a little older. Uh. And as of yet,

(01:01:49):
so we've been reporting on on this story about Brad
and Jen. They moved in together. Jen is really getting
along with his children and that he had with Angie.
Now they're deciding that they're going to have kids, potentially
because he doesn't have to be We still have no
proof that they've even seen each other since he got
a divorce from Yeah, but but Jack, you're missing the

(01:02:13):
anonymous story. Anonymous sources have claimed she saw an interview
where she said she would like to have kids in
two thousand six. Yeah, she might do IVF, right all right?
Print yep? Uh? Is this all just because the tabloids
don't want to talk about Kanye? Like why not? I
just I don't understand why Kanye is not the covert
provoking And it's also you know, these are mostly owned

(01:02:36):
by American Media, Inc. Which is run by David Pecker,
who is Trump's homie. And you know, the what is
there to say about Kanye other than that he's right.
You know, he got it, Kanye gots it, he gets it,
He gots it. Kanye woke up, and now we can
talk about the real important ship, which is whether Jennifer

(01:02:57):
Iniston is going to get I v F or not. Uh.
But yeah, I mean we've seen actual stories where it's
very clear that these are either written specifically in Trump's
voice for Trump's eyes. Uh, you know, like they're just
like Hillary Clinton, bad person, she deserves to go to jail.
It's like all just word for word, like the stuff

(01:03:18):
you would here sat right, Um and yeah so uh
And then okay, Magazine tells us that Katie and Jamie
are getting married. Katie and Katie Holmes and Jamie Fox
come on Magic Haroline, Jamie Fox, Katie Holmes time the
not Jamie Fox. Oh so happy for him. And we
know it's true because it's according to a source. Jamie

(01:03:42):
and Surrey are apparently best friends according to a source. Uh,
and it would happen in France and be a low
key affair. Likely her dress will be designed by a
friend of hers who's a designer named Zach who I
don't know his name Zack Posen. Yes, uh, and that's it.
No other sourcing, So it's happening. All the all the

(01:04:04):
intriguing celebrity news that you see on the covers of
this week's tabloids are based on anonymous sources or uh. Yeah,
that basically that's it. And I think must have not
sold many magazines because starting to die off. Well not really.
I mean, I'm happy to talk about American celebrities. I
don't want to hear it about Mega Markel anymore. You're

(01:04:26):
saying Megan Markel isn't in America. I know she's an
American celebrity, but her celebrity is tied to the British
royal family, which I am in general not a huge
fan of. All Right, anything any other story wanted to hit,
I mean, any other story. There's one about like I
think it says Kanye like left Kim or something in
a fight. Really, they just described that Kim's like, you're

(01:04:49):
sucking up our brand and he had to go somewhere,
so so he left her. I mean technically he did
leave her to go somewhere. I love that. The tabloid
story is just can you being like I'm going? It's like,
where are you going? He's like, out, I'm traveling somewhere. Sorry.
