Speaker 1 (05:09):
Let's get ready to Lambert, I was gonna do. Let's
get ready to rapture?

Speaker 2 (05:17):
Oh yeah, how are you feeling about the rapture?

Speaker 1 (05:21):
Pretty good? I mean that would be a great time
I think for for a reset.

Speaker 3 (05:26):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, just drop some drop some
dead weight, you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (05:31):
Yeah yeah, see where it goes. See where the chips land.

Speaker 3 (05:35):
Belated Rushashana to everyone Happy New Year.

Speaker 2 (05:37):
Yeah uh. I was thinking about that piece that they
covered you in for the general world thing and how
you went to the old Vivid offices like off Kowanga
across from the Nissan dealership that is now dead in
a skeleton graveyard. And I was just thinking of like
how often I would go to that bar next to
the Hollywood Dive thing. The weird that building was so

(05:59):
fucking weird where Vivid Video used to be housed in.

Speaker 1 (06:02):
That whole area. It's like the liminal zone of Universal City.
And it used to be that you'd see the Vivid
Entertainment sign and that was like the sign you were
entering the valley.

Speaker 2 (06:12):
Yeah, when you heard that, I was like, yep, that
feels right.

Speaker 1 (06:15):
Now it's the Minion the Universal which also feels right.

Speaker 2 (06:21):
Yeah, we've changed.

Speaker 1 (06:24):
You see the Minion like you're like driving you know,
out of the valley or into the valley.

Speaker 2 (06:28):
It's just like do you do your kids respond to
the Minion jack, do they have they have you taken
them to.

Speaker 3 (06:33):
They've never been really, I mean, they love the Minions,
but they've never been so impressed. I think I think
maybe once they saw it and they were like, oh yeah, Minion.
But it's quickly become background noise because anytime you're driving
on the one oh one, like it's just up there.

Speaker 1 (06:47):
Do you think the Minions are mad about La Boo.

Speaker 3 (06:49):
Boos, mad about the way that I'm just mad about Saffron?

Speaker 1 (06:55):
Yeah, like the bos taking taking their spot?

Speaker 3 (06:58):
Oh oh angry? Yeah, yeah, jealous maybe. I mean the
I would say like putting those two things together that
that really highlights the strengths of the of the Menion
over La Boo Boo being, you know, La Boo Boo
don't have doesn't have personality.

Speaker 2 (07:15):
People are talking about how the there are people looking
at the markets and being like, I don't know, man,
the pop march stock is going up and down? What
does this mean? Does La Boo Boo demand waning?

Speaker 1 (07:25):
It's like, yeah, there's gonna it's gonna crash. It's gonna crash.
You can learn somebody.

Speaker 2 (07:28):
Fucking La boo boos, you know, what I mean, look
that babies.

Speaker 1 (07:33):
A non believer would say.

Speaker 3 (07:35):
Exactly, Yeah, I would say demons. I would say the
same sentence with just different emphasis. You can have so many.

Speaker 2 (07:43):
Well, I'm so happy for you, guys, because you'll be
able to have all the laboo boos you want once
I get to go to heaven and you're left behind.

Speaker 1 (07:49):
Yeah, when Jack and I are living on the trash
island of.

Speaker 3 (07:52):
La boobooland with all all the la boo boos of
all the people got raptured, that would be punny if,
like it turns out, the criteria for rapture is just
who have most laboo boots? What can I say?

Speaker 1 (08:07):
I'm a band.

Speaker 2 (08:08):
Sorry man, it was me Pezuzu the whole time.

Speaker 3 (08:13):
Anyways, it's a great profile, some awesome pictures of the valley,
really good encapsulation of the Molly Lambert experience. Thank you
so much for still coming on our podcast after having
an amazing New York Times profile written about you.

Speaker 1 (08:30):
You know, I like to keep in touch with the
little people.

Speaker 3 (08:32):
That's right to you, honest. All right, 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 the
things we're talking about today. We're going to talk about
the Epstein files, whether Congress is about to release those.
We're gonna do a quick checking with Ezra Kline, a
little intervench with our buddy Ezra Klein, who can't stop

(08:54):
being wrong about everything. We're going to talk about the
right wing docxing app leaked. We'll talk about Disney deciding
to bring back Kimmel now that everybody hates them, and uh,
maybe we'll even talk about some flying cars and why
they might not be as good of an idea as
we all thought. All that plenty more. But first, Molly Lambert,

(09:18):
we do like to ask our guest, what is something
from your search history that's revealing about who you are?

Speaker 1 (09:24):
I was looking up different kinds of yams.

Speaker 3 (09:28):
Hmm, okay.

Speaker 1 (09:31):
I just wanted to know the difference between all the
sweet potatoes, because I got this good sweet potato that
looked like a regular potato, and I was like, Wow,
I didn't even know that was possible.

Speaker 2 (09:39):
What's so? Yeah, what did you learn? What don't I know?
Between and everything? All the difference?

Speaker 1 (09:45):
Honestly, they also like pulled out their sweet potato at
the farmer's market that was so gigantic, and they were like, yeah,
if you don't pull them out, they just keep growing.

Speaker 2 (09:54):
Oh my god, like well how big, like like bigger
than I'd ever.

Speaker 1 (09:59):
Seen a potato sweet potato bee. And they were just
like yep, the first first ones of the year, they
get gigantic and you gotta pull them out or they
just never stop. And I was kind of like, wow,
now I'm like sweet potato. I'm like yeah, I'm like,
keep going.

Speaker 3 (10:13):
Keep sweet potato was eighty one pounds. That's the record.

Speaker 1 (10:20):
God damn.

Speaker 3 (10:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (10:22):
I just didn't know they just keep going. Wow, Okay.
I like that, I thought what we need.

Speaker 2 (10:27):
I like that logic because as someone who got into
like having back at my pre my house that burned down,
I had like a little vegetable bed, and in my
mind doing it for the first time, like yeah, they
get bigger if you leave them in there, right, and
they're like no, then they start fucking up and turning
into a whole other plant completely. I'm like, ah shit,
all right, that's where that's where I fucked up by

(10:48):
not picking the fruit from it. I just like the
idea that it's like no you can just it gets
bigger the longer you leave it there.

Speaker 3 (10:55):
Yeah, they're animals. I'm trying to remember. I think lobsters
are also like that. They just never stop growing. So
like if you eat a really big lobster, you just
ate like something that was around for like hundreds of years.
I think, oh yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (11:10):
I believe hundreds of years.

Speaker 3 (11:12):
Yeah, lobsters can live over one hundred years.

Speaker 1 (11:15):
I believe. Please look it up.

Speaker 2 (11:17):
Wow, got a lobster lifespan can be can live for
over one hundred years apparently.

Speaker 3 (11:23):
With not with human invention reads, but hundred of years
is what I said. And anybody who says that I
didn't say that is fucking the Wow.

Speaker 1 (11:30):
Jack considered the lobster O'Brien one to one forty years
of age one hundred methusela lobster methusela ass lobster been
around since?

Speaker 2 (11:43):
Does that make you want to eat it? Like knowing
that like eating.

Speaker 3 (11:49):
Really sad and like it's true of a lot of
fish too, Like the fish just like you such a
big fish, You're like, yeah, it's like this thing is uh,
I mean like a library is burning when you catch
that fish.

Speaker 2 (12:03):
I mean I famously eat two lobsters a day. People
know this about me because because I'm bombing.

Speaker 3 (12:10):
Lobster.

Speaker 2 (12:10):
Now, when I go look at the tank, I'm going
to ask in their age.

Speaker 3 (12:12):
Now, Yeah, you just take a bite and then give
it away. You don't even like them. You call them
sea bugs.

Speaker 2 (12:18):
I call them cigarettes because I.

Speaker 1 (12:22):
Toss it fishing lobsters out of the La River. They've
got crawdads there, which is crazy.

Speaker 2 (12:32):
I've seen. Yeah. I saw someone point that out once
and I was like, you are brave.

Speaker 1 (12:38):
Eat them? Did they I don't know. I didn't.

Speaker 2 (12:41):
Oh, the person who told me about it was not
talking about eating context, but I know, I mean.

Speaker 1 (12:46):
Shit, do what you gotta do.

Speaker 3 (12:48):
Yeah, there are like all sorts of just gnarly ass
little thing like in the we go to the tide
pools every once in a while up in Malibu and
you just dig through the sand there and these little
like sand crabs.

Speaker 1 (12:58):
That, oh, I lovely things. They're so cool.

Speaker 3 (13:01):
Like if you just pulled one out and we're like
this is an alien, I would be like, yep, that's
killing a wild killing now just in clumps of sand.
They're just like everywhere.

Speaker 1 (13:14):
Yeah, they're probably thinking the same thing about you.

Speaker 3 (13:18):
If they could, they would. That's why I'm so ruthless.

Speaker 1 (13:22):
Molly, it got really big.

Speaker 3 (13:25):
I know sometimes I think about that, like how lucky
we are that we I mean we probably it's not luck,
it's a it is necessary. Well, it's a necessary Like
the reason that our species is thriving is because we
are in this random period where there aren't giants roaming

(13:45):
there that would just like eat us at will you
know what I mean, Like like there used to be
giant birds of prey or just like that had the
wingspan of like a private plane.

Speaker 2 (13:56):
You're talking about dinosaurs?

Speaker 3 (13:59):
Yeah, oh you heard of? Then what is something, Molly
that you think is underrated?

Speaker 1 (14:06):
Well, just to continue with the theme, I think, uh,
the stuff that lives in the ocean pretty underrated. Having
a fun time all day. We don't even know about.

Speaker 3 (14:15):
It, I know, overrated, overrated.

Speaker 1 (14:20):
Life on land we think we got it's so good
up here on land, I.

Speaker 2 (14:26):
Don't know walking around on what do you call him?

Speaker 3 (14:27):
Again? I mean, it is true. The only time we've
gotten just even I that up.

Speaker 2 (14:39):
God, damn, I love it to myself off the glass.

Speaker 3 (14:43):
The one time we've got even a small glimpse of
how much fun they're having down there is the under
the Sea song, you know.

Speaker 2 (14:50):
Yeah, And that's when flounder wasn't a flounder. I know
because I was like, I remember seeing a flounder for
the first time and being like that sound like the
blue the blue and yellow thing. This is a fucked
the flat ass piece of shit.

Speaker 3 (15:07):
Flounder looked like there's something absolutely wrong with them.

Speaker 1 (15:11):
They Yeah. I went to Catalina last week for my birthday.

Speaker 3 (15:15):
And hey, happy birthday.

Speaker 1 (15:17):
It was just like under the Sea. It was stark, yeah, great,
and it was like, Wow, there's a whole world down here.
They're having so much fun, nothing to do with us.
They don't know about any of the dumb bullshit we
have to know about. They don't have a shut down here.

Speaker 2 (15:33):
Were you like with your scoop their Snorbert Like.

Speaker 1 (15:36):
Are there any expecting mothers down here? Do not take
tylnal You're just the president just told us just could
be bad news.

Speaker 3 (15:44):
Guys.

Speaker 2 (15:44):
Wait, what I always see on TikTok people like romanticizing Catalina.
The last time I went was nineteen ninety seven, the
week the Mace Harlem World album came out.

Speaker 3 (15:57):
That's why you were there, right.

Speaker 2 (15:58):
No, because I remember when the second I got back
from our field trip, I begged my mom to take
me to Blockbuster Music to buy it, and then I
bought that and the Firm album.

Speaker 1 (16:06):
Wow, I'm talking Firms, your babe.

Speaker 2 (16:10):
Anyway, people were like, it's like the one on Venture
and Loken.

Speaker 1 (16:15):
Yeah of course, yeah, yeah, yeah, come on, come on, Molly,
come on, now, come on now.

Speaker 2 (16:20):
But that the like the way they sell it on
TikTok is like this is the this is the Amalfi
Coast in Catalina or in California, And I'm like, I
don't remember it like that. I mean, I know there's
it has its own vibe, but does it feel European
to you?

Speaker 1 (16:33):
I mean it feels coastal. Yeah, it's fucking nice.

Speaker 2 (16:37):
Okay, great, well then.

Speaker 1 (16:39):
It's just little there's but there's a whole other side
where you can do camping and stuff.

Speaker 2 (16:43):
Yes, yeah, Bison.

Speaker 3 (16:44):
I mean, myles, when you went there, how many times
did you dunk your head in the water and see
was going on under the sea?

Speaker 2 (16:50):
A lot? Because it was like our field trip to
go to like the Catalina Marine Institute, and so every
day we're like snork ling point Yeah, sorry, So.

Speaker 3 (17:02):
You were snorkeling every fucking.

Speaker 2 (17:04):
Day, no, like two days, and then we then we
learned about fish like on the third day, and then
peta bison and then went home and then this one.

Speaker 1 (17:11):
Yeah, this sounds incredible, sounds like a dream. You were
just like yeah, and you got to get back to
Blockbuster music?

Speaker 3 (17:17):
Were you when you're fucking Blockbuster?

Speaker 2 (17:18):
When you when you're twelve, when you're what twelve years
thirteen years old?

Speaker 1 (17:23):
Bro?

Speaker 2 (17:24):
You I had no sense of appreciating nature. I was like,
the fucking Mace album just came out, mom, and it
was funny. I have my friend gave me a picture
from that field trip where there was a talent show
and me and my friend wore garbage bags and pretended
like we were Mace and Puffy Wow, which I was

(17:44):
Mace obviously.

Speaker 3 (17:45):
Man, Darling, it's better up where Mace Beta. That's what
wasn't that where Mace Betha? It is, Darling, It's Betha
up where May's Betha.

Speaker 1 (17:58):
Uh, take it from me.

Speaker 3 (17:59):
Take it from me, man.

Speaker 2 (18:00):
That was also a low key representation Sebastian because.

Speaker 1 (18:03):
It's like he's black. Yeah, man, it's black. That crab.

Speaker 3 (18:07):
That crab is black on percussions too.

Speaker 2 (18:10):
Oh yeah, just plain the steel drums surprising read a
lot of problematic.

Speaker 3 (18:17):
Do we know who voiced Sebastian Kevin Kleine? All right,
let's take a quick break and we'll be right back

(18:41):
and we're back. We're back by all right, So we
do liked every once in a while checking with the
epsteam files for some reason. We're fucking weird like that.
But yeah, this thing that is got a screw loose.
The thing that is most interesting to the people in
America about this administration that keeps getting like, you know,
falling off the radar. I would say, it's still you know,

(19:05):
people want to see who is in these documents. People
are curious about why the president all of a sudden
started acting weird.

Speaker 1 (19:14):
It's a home you're being weird, man, I never had
the pleasure of.

Speaker 2 (19:18):
Going to the island. He's a liar, and also maybe
he didn't.

Speaker 1 (19:22):
Do anything wrong. He might be a patriot.

Speaker 3 (19:24):
To go from being like, yeah, we're gonna we're gonna
reveal it and show you all the all the creepos
in there, to like a day later being like this
is a big non story. I don't know why you
guys are being so weird, but everybody the fuck up
and stop asking, Oh, you're still on about this Epstein guy,
he died, you're not maga.

Speaker 2 (19:44):
Remember that thing when he was like, well, if you
want them, then maybe you're not maga.

Speaker 3 (19:48):
You're like, will you look guilty as full good god man.

Speaker 1 (19:52):
Y, yeah, it is.

Speaker 2 (19:54):
It is important to remember that members of the House
are still trying to get that discharge petition signed in
order to get the Epstein files to the public. So
Thomas Massey, a Republican Rocana Democrat, are now one vote
away from being able to force a House vote on
the files. And that's despite all the delaying tactics from

(20:14):
masturbation enthusiast Mike Johnson, the House Speaker. But they are like,
they are truly on the precipice of getting the putting
this to a floor vote.

Speaker 3 (20:24):
And when we say enthusiasts just to because they I
think it is important to make it the Jeffrey Tuban variety,
he's not. Yeah, so he's not Jeffery Tuber. Did we
talk about Duben on yesterday's trending Yey? Do you remember
when Jeffrey Tuban came back on CNN for the first
time after being fired for jacking off on a conference call. Yeah,

(20:46):
how could I forget? And she was like so cheerful
and was just like she was like, and so, do
we have this correct? You were jacking your ship in
front of everybody that you work with, Dana, You've got
that one hundred percent.

Speaker 1 (21:04):
So I had I was in the wrong window or whatever.

Speaker 2 (21:09):
Just one more because we were juxtaposing that with how
Kamala Harris was. It was like pulling teeth to get
her to say she endorses r oh.

Speaker 1 (21:18):
That was crazy.

Speaker 3 (21:19):
Yeah, sure, yeah, I support the Democrats. Sure, sure, whatever.
I guess he's a Democrat. I guess. Yeah. Meanwhile, this
guy comes on national television to talk about jacking off
in front of his coworkers and was like just enthusiastic
and like kind of smooth with it.

Speaker 1 (21:37):
One more time.

Speaker 5 (21:39):
In October, you were on a zoom call with your
colleagues from the New Yorker magazine. Everyone took a break
for several minutes, during which time you were caught masturbating
on camera. You were subsequently fired from that job after
twenty seven years of working there, and you since then

(21:59):
have on leave from Sanna?

Speaker 3 (22:01):
Do I have all that right?

Speaker 2 (22:03):
You got it all right? Sad to say you got
it all right?

Speaker 3 (22:14):
Shoulder shimmy like he was like, that's right, lady, Yeah, yeah,
you got it all right.

Speaker 2 (22:22):
Jinas an agitation about the prospect that he's gonna win.

Speaker 3 (22:26):
Look, as far as I'm concerned, he's the Democratic nominee,
and he should be supported. He should be in the
most impersonal language possible. Anyway, Sorry, can you support him?

Speaker 1 (22:36):
Oh? Sure, sure, I support him?

Speaker 3 (22:39):
Sure, fine whatever. Anyways, Mike Johnson different type of masturbation
enthusiasts in the sense that you can tell based on
how hard he has to try to stop jacking off,
and the way that he does that is by any
time he does jack off or like go to a
website to jack off, it sends a note of occasion

(23:00):
to his teenage son, the.

Speaker 2 (23:02):
Covenant eyes Jack Covenant eyes. Yeah you know, yeah, we
all know about this masturbation technology.

Speaker 1 (23:06):
Okay. But also here's the thing. Not only is he
covenant eyes.

Speaker 3 (23:13):
And eyes?

Speaker 2 (23:14):
Yeah see no evil.

Speaker 5 (23:20):
You.

Speaker 3 (23:23):
See why ship win? Jack?

Speaker 2 (23:29):
So anyway, too much to his displeasure, there was a
special election in Arizona on Tuesday. Now as we record this,
the election is still having so we don't know exactly
what the results are because there it's a special election
to fill a congressional vacancy in the House, and both
the Democratic front runner and the Republican candidate have both
said they want the Epstein files out and they will

(23:53):
be the one to sign on to that discharge petition
to get it to a floor vote.

Speaker 3 (23:58):
So what do you guys doings, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (24:01):
Yeah, So again, if the same people that vote for
the discharge petitioners signed for the disc sign the discharge
petition also supported the public disclosure of the files in
a floor vote, it's a rap, however, because there's always however,
right Speaker Johnson has said he's like, well, I definitely
if it happens, I won't kill it, but technically he

(24:23):
could through the Rules Committee, So TBD on that, and
he may just have to go mask off predator protector
and block it. But there's also the whole thing of like,
at that point, how cool how much cooperation do you
get from Trump's DJ you know, when like they're they're
regularly being like, I don't know, fucking coln whatever you
fucking sum or they do their heavily redacted version where

(24:44):
it's just like it's only Bill Clinton and Bill Gates.

Speaker 3 (24:48):
Those are the words that aren't redacted.

Speaker 1 (24:50):
Yeah, it's only guys named Jill, if you're named Bill. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (24:55):
Anyways, more will be revealed, We'll see or not.

Speaker 1 (24:59):
Ye, probably. It seems like there's a lot.

Speaker 3 (25:01):
Of a lot of energy behind this. It's these files.
You guys are being so fucking weird.

Speaker 2 (25:08):
No, and it's not even weird, dude, Just go fucking
pay attention to someone else.

Speaker 3 (25:11):
Man, it's not sure. Fine, let's talk about as our cline.
This is the person who is like had a big
rise in attention and popularity during the election and has
used that since the election to lose his damn mind.
He wrote wrote a book those like the what's it

(25:34):
called the Abundance Movement with Derek Thompson, and it's like
they had a that their whole idea is just like,
this is how we stay on the neoliberalism path without
continuing to lose elections, almost like people don't like neoliberalism.

(25:57):
And it involves like being like, why don't we fund
science fiction projects that we'll get people excited?

Speaker 1 (26:04):
Why do you pay people a fucking living wage.

Speaker 3 (26:06):
Yeah, yeah, just like any ah, no, no, no, they
what fucking.

Speaker 1 (26:13):
Shit is he saying in this time? Wow?

Speaker 3 (26:17):
Really good?

Speaker 1 (26:17):
Damn bars fucking bars.

Speaker 2 (26:20):
Yeah, well this time I mean obviously like as if
his kirk op Ed wasn't bad.

Speaker 3 (26:24):
Also, yeah, his kirk op Ed was also just being
like Charlie Kirk and I very similar. I admired the
movement that he built and that we both hate Muslims. Right,
Oh what Ezra, wait, what are you saying?

Speaker 1 (26:36):
This is it's like, what if we did nothing? If
you guys consider doing nothing.

Speaker 2 (26:43):
What if we rebranded nothing into something?

Speaker 1 (26:46):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (26:47):
Huh what about that?

Speaker 1 (26:48):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (26:48):
But this time he sat down with a conservative colleague
at the Times for one of their podcasts, and they
get to talk about all kinds of things. It was like,
is the political radicalization so much on the left, That's
something I should be worried about as a as a
conservative or whatever. And then the conversation kind of goes
around to like what the stakes are fair?

Speaker 3 (27:07):
He said no, which is good.

Speaker 1 (27:09):
Yeah, he said no.

Speaker 3 (27:10):
He was like no, like, yeah, Antifa is coming for
your babies.

Speaker 1 (27:14):
Yeah, He's like, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (27:15):
Look at the last couple of high profile political violence
events they have, they've been as he said, write coded,
which is I think a very like meat out way.

Speaker 1 (27:23):
Of like they were people.

Speaker 2 (27:26):
Yeah, okay, but anyway, then he's like he doesn't.

Speaker 1 (27:29):
Want to get fired from hosting his late night shift.
That's right, right.

Speaker 2 (27:32):
They talk about like sort of the alarmism within the party,
about like the stakes are so high and like what
do we do because this is this this fascistic credit party. Yeah,
the alarmism within it to be like, look, what's happening.

Speaker 1 (27:44):
What are we going to do?

Speaker 2 (27:45):
We have to do something, And he's basically saying that, like, look,
if you're going to be alarmist and stuff, then we
also got to be willing to make some tough choices here.
And this is just kind of this is where the
this is his answer sort of to this whole thing
of like what does what does the Democratic Party too?
If you're you feel like you're in this existential moment?

(28:05):
Do we have to let more people into the party,
do we expel people? What do we do?

Speaker 1 (28:08):
So here's Ezra clined.

Speaker 6 (28:10):
And that a lot of the people who embrace alarm
don't embrace what I think obviously follows from that alarm,
which is the willingness to make strategic and political decisions
you find personally discomfiting, you know, though they are obviously
more likely to help you win.

Speaker 2 (28:28):
Is that like endorsing Zorn Mundani.

Speaker 3 (28:30):
No no, no, no, no no, Well let's let him.

Speaker 1 (28:32):
Keep let him cook.

Speaker 2 (28:35):
Okay, sorry, I will put the heat back on. Please
cook right.

Speaker 6 (28:39):
Taking political positions it'll make it more likely win Senate
seats in Kansas and Ohio and Missouri. Trying to open
your coalition to people you didn't want it open to
before running pro life Democrats.

Speaker 1 (28:55):
And frustrations many people.

Speaker 7 (28:57):
These politics otherwise share is fuck insh unwillingness to match
the seriousness of your politics to the seriousness of your alarm.

Speaker 2 (29:14):
Uh huh, I'm sorry.

Speaker 3 (29:15):
So if you're so worried, why don't you just start
running pro life.

Speaker 1 (29:23):
Said this at this point? This is always there. I
also just saw this quote from Kamala's prestor where she
said Trump is a communist. Okay, yes, man, they loved
be like, well, he's because he's controlling businesses like we
have a communist yes, yeah, just like not like not

(29:43):
because they won't call him a fascist because they're like
the language is divisive. Yeah, so they're like he's a
communist and we all hate communists.

Speaker 3 (29:53):
Right, Yeah, So they're taking they're taking a step back
from election where they low all they started with some momentum,
then lost all momentum when they just like kept tacking
right word like they started being like they're weird and
people were.

Speaker 1 (30:11):
Like, oh shit.

Speaker 3 (30:13):
Also like inflation was caused by corporate greed. They were like, wait,
what can you say that as a Democratic And there's
a lot of like just you know, a lot of momentum,
and then slowly, by slowly just like turned toward Dick Cheney,
Like what if we were the cheneye of there and
completely lost all momentum, got you know, destroyed. And both

(30:40):
Ezra Client, who's supposed to be like the smartest guy
in the Democratic Party and the person who lost that
election have taken a step back and been like, we
just need to do that more.

Speaker 1 (30:50):
We just need.

Speaker 3 (30:50):
To be more Republicans from the early two thousands. Like
that seems like that is their only solution. And I
don't know how they're getting away with it.

Speaker 1 (31:02):
They're always there and they're always the first thing they
always say. It's like, well, we got to give up
on abortion. It's like, shut up.

Speaker 8 (31:10):
Here's no popular row them like again, And this is
what democrats are saying behind closed doors, you know, Like
other prominent democrats on Twitter were echoing essentially saying.

Speaker 1 (31:23):
We need to expand the tent. We've got to experience.
They want to lose. They love to lose. It's because
if they lose, they keep fundraising. They keep going on
these stupid press towards.

Speaker 2 (31:33):
Now they're not even fund raising as much. They kind
of know they got it. They need a new grift.
I mean, the money is still coming in, but like
there's for the fear first. At least eight months people.

Speaker 1 (31:42):
Were like, stop talking to me because they.

Speaker 2 (31:45):
Can't do People were giving money, I guess.

Speaker 1 (31:47):
Because they can't condemn capitalism because it's part of their grift.
And so anything that would make life better for working
class people they won't support. That's what's so wild. Ultimately,
just republics with little blue collars.

Speaker 2 (32:03):
Right, does he not understand like taking away things like
abortion access is more authoritarianism, you know what I mean,
like to be like I'm actually going to restrict people's freedom,
Like what does he like? Also, he's like how do
we win in Kansas or Missouri. They had voter initiatives
that like were there to protect abortion rights, that one

(32:23):
that meant Republicans also voted for that.

Speaker 3 (32:26):
But this is they can't. They have the inception fucking
idea locked away in their brain. That triangulation is the
only thing that has made them rend like when right,
like there's a Wintonian triangulation of like, okay, well we
just like take their position and then how can they
beat us there? That doesn't that has not worked since

(32:47):
the fucking nineties. Yeah, it didn't work.

Speaker 1 (32:49):
Done. It's like they don't They don't want to stand
for anything, and that's why when they're faced with somebody
like Zorn, who like does stand for things, they're like, well,
we can't have that, we can't have that.

Speaker 3 (32:58):
Well, because I think there's their quote is sure fine, sure,
I guess he's a Democrat back.

Speaker 1 (33:05):
The Democratic candidate.

Speaker 3 (33:06):
What do you want to I won't even say his
name such an asshole, sorry, guys, I just can't say
his name without spitting on the ground. So yeah, I
do just have to.

Speaker 1 (33:14):
Call him foaming at the mouth.

Speaker 2 (33:16):
But like I think, because this is how they look
at it, right, they look at the the up for grabs,
voting blocks that are there of eligible of people they
can go after, right, and they've completely just ignored the
margin that's to the left of them and the insane
amount of people who are progressive or who are there
to back progressive ideas, and they're only going to like, well,

(33:37):
who are the people that still believe in capitalism and
we don't have to do much to make this place work.
Those are the people we need to talk because we're
not going to win those other people. We're not going
to win the working class. And again, appealing to their ideals,
like the ideals of like protecting American democracy is not
a winning message, and they just tried that.

Speaker 1 (33:58):
They just there. Their entire battle plan for decades has
just been like, well, we're not them. You you don't
like them, where the where you have to They don't
offer any thing that anybody wants. And then you have
somebody like Zoran being like, hey, people should be able
to live and.

Speaker 2 (34:19):
Enough rent freezes, have shelter, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (34:23):
Like people need to rent needs to be sustainable, and
you know, people should be able to make a living
on a minimum wage job to buy food for their family.
They're like, these leftists are tearing America apart with their
beatnick ideas.

Speaker 2 (34:39):
Yeah, I mean, like again, the messages have to be economic, right,
you ask a struggling single parent with like two jobs
if they give two fucks about democratic norms right now.
They're too busy trying to fucking survive. Right.

Speaker 1 (34:52):
Like, if you look at like, why did people vote
for Trump, it's because he said he was going to
make them money, give them you know that everyone was
going to be doing well, and now they're they're not.
Obviously people aren't.

Speaker 2 (35:02):
Smart enough to know that anyway.

Speaker 1 (35:03):
Yeah, you know you haven't the obvious thing.

Speaker 3 (35:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (35:06):
They could run the easiest focus group right now, the
Democrats of all time. They just bring in working class
American voters and go, here's the focus group. Here are
two options. You let us know which one you're interested in.
A protecting the sanctity of congressional oversight or B increasing
the federal minimum wage to fifteen dollars.

Speaker 1 (35:25):
Hit a button.

Speaker 3 (35:25):
They would find a way to word that such that
it was like, you know, communism, or they'd.

Speaker 2 (35:31):
Be like, well, without congressional oversight, you won't get your
fifteen dollars minimum right, same.

Speaker 1 (35:36):
Shit, and I wish we had communism.

Speaker 2 (35:39):
Yeah, this is again I think every time we see this,
the leadership of the party just has no fucking clue
what life is like for people in this country. Like
people are struggling to make now.

Speaker 1 (35:48):
They're just so out of touch. They're in this little
DC bubble. And also like everyone who worked on any
of the last few campaigns should be completely out of
the democratic establishment at this point, but they all send
out the same people over and over again, people like
Ezra Kline who have been wrong a million times, just
like getting trotted back out like maybe well maybe I

(36:09):
won't be wrong this time.

Speaker 2 (36:11):
Yeah, it's I think again, because the problems are like
too nebulous to them for them to understand. It's like
it's like they've come across a thirsty person in the
desert and they're screaming for some water, and the Democrats like, hey,
can I are off for you a nebulous voucher program
to potentially use towards childcare if you qualify, right, like
I mean water?

Speaker 1 (36:30):
Yeah, I mean it truly is just like they're learning
no lessons from Zorian being popular, which you know again,
it's like he's popular, people like him people want these
things that he's promising, and they're like these damn young millennials,
which who are by the way old now and mm hmm,
it's it's just like they're they're clinging to power so intensely.

(36:53):
It's it's they're bringing everybody down.

Speaker 3 (36:55):
Yeah, and the people who fund them that like they
they are a glomerate of interests and those interests are
directly opposed to any all the ideas that Zora Mom
Donnie espouses, and so they just can't they just can't.
They can't, like they physically, like you see it in
Kamala Harris, there's like a.

Speaker 1 (37:15):
Yes, there's like a horizon they can't see beyond, especially
people like Kamala who've been in establishment politics their whole
lives and who've been told like no compromise, compromise, like
don't don't want anything.

Speaker 3 (37:27):
Yeah, but it's the right keeps going further right. They
keep under this idea that like, well we'll go just
like a bit a little bit to their left and
then we'll have this whole side of the pie.

Speaker 1 (37:37):
To well, they just go they go to the right,
the right goes for the right, and then they got
right too. Yeah, yeah, we go further right and.

Speaker 2 (37:46):
Then humbers behind back here to the left of it.

Speaker 1 (37:50):
Yeah, and then the and then the right are bullies
to them, and they're like, oh, we gotta we can't
stand up to these bullies. We got to like capitulate, Yeah,
because they're bullying.

Speaker 2 (38:00):
You know how you stop the bullying, you become what
the bully wants you to be, and then they'll stop.

Speaker 3 (38:05):
Somebody who's like on the just left ish side of
things comes out and it's like they they're the only
person saying the thing that like that entire part of
the population wants to hear. And they have enormous power
and uh, you know, energy behind them, and they just
can't can't deal.

Speaker 1 (38:25):
I know, ever since they ever since they rap fucked Bernie,
it's just been like, right, well, we know they're not
gonna help. Probably, I think.

Speaker 2 (38:35):
Like people just need to start exposing all these pundits
and like mouthpieces for the party for how little connection
they actually have to work in class in America. Like
I want to ask all these people, like who is
the poorest person you know and interact with regularly that
is your friend, not someone that works for you. Do
you have friends that are on the brink of homelessness,

(38:56):
or can't pay bills, or like have their backs to
the wall with medical expense. This is do you know
someone with two minimum wage jobs? And of course the
answer is, oh.

Speaker 3 (39:04):
God no, I went on that reporting trip to a
diner in Pennsylvania five years ago, right, so I do
I have met them.

Speaker 2 (39:11):
This is the fucking problem. The stakes for working class
Americans are just too abstract for these for the leadership
class to fully grasp, so they can't even offer a
solution that resonates. They can only offer solutions that like
make themselves as establishment people comfortable.

Speaker 1 (39:27):
They're like, well, this will help me feel better, or
they're saying things but they're not doing things Like Gavin
Newsom right now is saying a lot of stuff that
sounds good.

Speaker 2 (39:34):
But you're not gonna trick me.

Speaker 1 (39:37):
Gavin.

Speaker 2 (39:37):
We know you love to start chatting shit, but you're
you're all bad.

Speaker 1 (39:42):
You're all checking that good chat. Oh great chat that
Kevin good Benta. Yeah great, isn't it.

Speaker 3 (39:49):
Let's take a quick break. We'll be right back, and
we're back. We're back in Grebeak and Jimmy Kimmel Show
is back. Last night I did we're recording this before

(40:12):
it came back, but allegedly.

Speaker 2 (40:14):
Could you imagine, But it's just like, actually they ended
up canceling it again.

Speaker 3 (40:17):
We don't know if he's been raptured, but the uh
after Disney basically reversed course on its indefinite suspension when
it became clear that everyone was mad at them.

Speaker 2 (40:30):
Yeah, Tom Hanks signed the letter saying we're bad.

Speaker 3 (40:33):
Yeah. So there's a big, a big letter that went
around that basically said I think it was an open
letter by the ACLU condemning Disney, signed by hundreds of
Hollywood stars, including Tom Hanks, who literally played Walt Disney
in a Disney movie.

Speaker 1 (40:51):
You think that's what did it for him? Like he
played Walt Disney.

Speaker 3 (40:54):
Wait, we just gotta let he just like put on
his Walt Disney mustache. They were like, wait, what the fuck?
Wellt Disney mad at us?

Speaker 1 (41:02):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (41:03):
Jamie Lee Curtis also signed it too. Wasn't she just
in tears about Kirk being a man of faith or something?

Speaker 1 (41:08):
She yeah, anything?

Speaker 2 (41:12):
Oh yeah, sure, great, great, great, Maggie, Jillenhall, Michael Keaton,
Regina or King Diego Lunar, which is so funny. I
forget who tweeted or something as like they just want
a bunch of Emmys about a show that was fighting
fascism with and Or and then cave to it in
real life with the Kimmel cancelation.

Speaker 3 (41:30):
I think we can get by this thing. We already
won the and Or thing, So yeah, Sinclair is still
going to preempt the show Fritz ABC affiliates, which good
news for Steve Harvey fans because last time they were like,
we're gonna put on a ode to Charlie Kirk and
then it was just celebrity family feud.

Speaker 1 (41:51):
Wow, I love family feud. That Steve Harvey family feud
is good.

Speaker 2 (41:55):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I wonder if that's also Like I'm
sure there's so much corporate math happening too, where it's like,
all right, what do we stand to lose, Let's let's
game it out. Sinclair keeps preempting what's our revenue hit
versus what we might lose in Disney Plus subscriptions or
lack of support for our future products or the new
ESPN app or whatever. I'm really curious how that, like,

(42:18):
what the what the decision making process was, because it
surely wasn't. Guys, were we're going to be on the
rock side of history here.

Speaker 3 (42:24):
No, no, no, we need to take in we recognized
that this was a bad look for the Disney corporate.

Speaker 1 (42:30):
Right yeah.

Speaker 3 (42:31):
I mean some people are stating that the reason that
they back down is because they lost three point eight
seven billion dollars as a result of the suspension. This
is actually, I think an insidious little bit of propaganda
because like it still is operating in a world where
like the stock market is going to save us from authoritarianism.

Speaker 2 (42:54):
Well, oh, being like we we put pressure on the
stonk and yeah, right right, they.

Speaker 3 (43:00):
Did a thing that was unpopular and like you know,
bouch to pressure from the Trump administration and they lost
stock value. First of all, the amount of value that
they lost, like turns out it was only like zero
point six seven percent, which is like completely within the
range of normal fluctuation on any given day.

Speaker 1 (43:21):
I imagine they're just looking at a little ticker tape
of little mickeys and they're just like, oh no, the
mickeys are going down. We make it smile and go whee.

Speaker 3 (43:32):
It's like that smiley chart that's like green smiley feace, right,
smiley mickeys. But yeah, I mean we've seen that the
stock market is rewarding people getting in line with Trump's
authoritarian administration like so like and getting punished by them
is going to be bad for your stock prices. But

(43:54):
anyone who's still like, I remember this was a thing
like during the first Trump administration where like a comp
and he would like push back and people would you know,
be like and they've gained a bunch of value or
like the Nike thing or and it's just like, no,
I think we can give up on the haha. You know,

(44:14):
the stock market will decide what. Yeah, right side, you
don't ever want to go down. You're like, who got
my back? And then you're just a bunch of corporations.
It's like, no, they never did, they never that they're
not going to yeah yeah yeah.

Speaker 2 (44:29):
Oh man, Well that's I'm glad at least those people
signed a piece of paper. And I don't know who's
going to feel more powerful the people the Disney adults
who through their Disney subscription in the trash, or Natalie
Portman and my Rudolph.

Speaker 3 (44:43):
I hope it's Natalie Portman and my Rudolph.

Speaker 1 (44:46):
There's like, I also see people who like, well, I'm
not going to watch the Mandalorian and Grogu trailer. Oh really, Like, yeah,
that's really gonna show him. You're not gonna watch because
I don't want to see spoilers. I'm like, I want
I want Goro Goo for president. Yeah at this point,

(45:07):
fuck it. Yeah. Man.

Speaker 3 (45:08):
They did allegedly delay the release of that trailer because
they because it was supposed to drop last week and
then this was happening last week, so they were like,
so that's like the big change they made the delay
the release of this trailer.

Speaker 1 (45:24):
They delayed some premieres because they didn't want people to
show up in protest.

Speaker 2 (45:27):
I think, oh, right, that Lilith Fair doctor right, wasn't
like they got rid of the red carpet and then
everyone's like, fuck this, we're not doing anything anymore with this.

Speaker 1 (45:35):
Yeah, no, they did it. They showed it. They just
they were gonna have like performances and stuff, and people
pulled out actually because they were like, we can't be performing.

Speaker 2 (45:44):
They're like, do you know what Lilith Fair is? Even,
Like I don't know, rang you guys a bunch of
corporate stooges, not not not at that time, we weren't
not yet not yet.

Speaker 3 (45:57):
Yeah, I also like a lot of the reporting referring to,
like the decision to pull Kimmel's show off the air
for his comments relating to the death of Charlie Kirk.

Speaker 1 (46:06):
No, like his.

Speaker 2 (46:08):
Comments, wasn't it just it was about how they were
they were He said he was talking about scoring political points,
using the political points and hoping that this guy was
a left wing person, right.

Speaker 3 (46:21):
Which seems definitely true. It was actually hoping.

Speaker 2 (46:26):
Yeah, it was nothing directly about the like like being
like crass about the killing, more so about like comments.

Speaker 3 (46:32):
Talking about them being crass about the killing.

Speaker 1 (46:35):
No, it was clearly just that Trump was like, you know,
he's taken him down one by one. Yeah, right, Yeah,
it's that he makes fun of Trump, and this was
the excuse to to take him down.

Speaker 3 (46:46):
But the way that the mainstream media is writing about
it is they keep being like relating to his comments
relating to the death of Charlie Kirk, which seems like
a win for the forces of censorship.

Speaker 1 (46:57):
Well, that's the problem is all the media is like
completely monopolized by right wing people now, and so except
for this damn show. That's right, the resistance.

Speaker 3 (47:08):
The resistance brought to you by Raytheon, Well, we also
don't have a major merger on the horizon, are trying
to merge with us.

Speaker 1 (47:19):
No matter what actually happens, they they report whatever they
want and then people believe it.

Speaker 2 (47:25):
So yeah, it's always like just very bad faith summations
of it because you can just again, there used to
be like some outlets will be like really really harmless
commentary from Kimmel that was blown out of proportion. I've
only maybe seen that described that way like twice over
the last week.

Speaker 1 (47:45):
Democrats keep taking the bait and being like, oh, you're right,
I have to put out a statement and I.

Speaker 2 (47:52):
Will also vote to memorialize this person. And you're like yeah,
really really well, okay, so you guys agree on a
lot of stuff. It sounds like, huh, like there's one
party kind of like there's one just two kind of
flavors of it, you know what I mean?

Speaker 1 (48:07):
But hey, what do I know?

Speaker 2 (48:09):
And then like just the Brendan Carr shit, like the
head of the FCC acting like he never said anything
about like launching this pressure campaign is so fucking.

Speaker 3 (48:18):
Never threatened to pull licenses of ABC stations if the
network didn't fire Kimmel. And then there's this quote, let
me see, it's time that a lot of these licenses
broadcasters themselves push back on comcasts and Disney and say, listen,
we're going to preempt We're not going to run Kimmel anymore.
So you straighten us out because we license broadcasters are
running into the possibility of fines or license revocation from

(48:41):
the FCC if we continue to run content that ends
up being a pattern of news distortion.

Speaker 2 (48:47):
I said it was about news distortion. That's like what
he was getting all like overly pedantic about it.

Speaker 1 (48:52):
It was about news distortion.

Speaker 2 (48:54):
Sure, And you're like, yeah, but you're still talking about
the FCC revoking licenses like in relation.

Speaker 1 (48:59):
To this, and Carr kind of doing the shaggy defense. Yeah,
it wasn't.

Speaker 2 (49:05):
Me, especially too when people were like there was like
that one tweet that blew up because someone was like,
oh my god, guys, this is straight out of Project
twenty twenty five. And he replied to that tweet with
the Jack Nicholson yes gif and you're like, wait, that's
what are you fucking saying, you fucking goof.

Speaker 3 (49:23):
It's also like this thing that where they're doing things.
I mean, it kind of goes along with the Kamala
thing where she's like I where you say things as
impersonally and like in the most passive voice possible, you know,
where she's like, I would.

Speaker 1 (49:40):
Endorse the Democrat five hundred miles.

Speaker 3 (49:43):
Yeah, just so he would Democrat. I would endorse the
Democrat nominee. But he said, listen, we're going to preempts.
He's saying, it's time. They said we're going to preempt.
So he's like putting this in like three layers of
quotes to be like, because we might be worried that

(50:04):
the FCC is gonna revoke.

Speaker 1 (50:08):
Our lifetime that they said, mm hmm, yeah we are.

Speaker 3 (50:14):
I never said it. I said it's time that they
said that in our voice, so like I said that
they should get out of puppet that represents us and
says these things. I did not say that. We said that.
I did not say that as myself.

Speaker 2 (50:27):
Okay, this is my Bruce Buffer puppet going.

Speaker 1 (50:29):
It's time.

Speaker 2 (50:31):
It's that a lot of these licensed broadcasters pushed them,
and that was like a hypothetical. Man, it was like
a UFC fight man. This is obviously would never happen. Obviously,
fucked guys, it's terrible. Yeah, it's just such an again
terrible fucking look. And I think for people that need
more evidence that these corporations and these like sort of
billion moneyed interests are ever going to stand up for

(50:52):
anyone's fucking rights, you were sorely fucking mistaken. They are
just ready to do whatever they need to do to again,
do what they have to to make sure that they're
a shareholder value that that is maintained and augmented as
much as possible.

Speaker 3 (51:07):
All right, let's talk about flying cars real quick here.
That that is a piece of the future that I
think everybody had in mind at a certain point. They
were like, this is what's going to come and make
it feel cool. Make that or jet packs all worthwhile,
the big great consumerism movement where everything just has like

(51:30):
a slightly upward tilt and things keep getting better and
better until one day we have flying cars. By the way,
the Jetsons took place in a in the sky, but
we never see what's happening down on earth.

Speaker 2 (51:45):
It's where the four people are.

Speaker 1 (51:48):
I didn't know where this was going. The Jetsons took
place in the sky, the sky.

Speaker 3 (51:53):
I'm just.

Speaker 1 (51:56):
Three, That's what I thought you were going to say.

Speaker 3 (51:59):
There are are fan theories that it's like an Elysium
situation where like this is just how the wealthy live
in the Jetsons universe. And there are even some fan
theories that suggest that what's happening on Earth was the
other Hannibarbara cartoon, the Flintstones. Yeah, that the Flintstones is
everything else has gone back to the Stone Ages, and

(52:22):
so it's like just a parable about inequality.

Speaker 2 (52:26):
Wow, Orbit City and it takes place in twenty sixty two. Actually,
we're getting there. We're getting there.

Speaker 3 (52:34):
Yeah, But I do think I do think we can
maybe hold onto the idea of the Jetsons. I'll explain
that at the end. But the idea of a democratically
available flying car, I think I'm going to kill that
dream for myself. There was just a mid air collision
in China during a rehearsal for an air show where

(52:56):
too car line cars crashed into each other due to
insuffici spacing.

Speaker 2 (53:01):
What does that mean?

Speaker 1 (53:02):
Which is sky?

Speaker 3 (53:04):
The whole thing is, yeah, you're supposed to have a sky,
but like people are pointing out like that, you would
need air traffic controllers for any flying car. Like, think
about what happened when Newark's air traffic control center like
blacked out for a second, and like there was a
couple of minutes where they didn't know where the planes were,

(53:26):
and everybody like had Everyone was like this, It was
the most distraught I've ever been. Like, that's the level
of knowledge and like control that you need to have
over anything that's in the sky to make sure that
it doesn't crash into something else that's in the sky.

Speaker 1 (53:46):
I think that might be true.

Speaker 2 (53:48):
I'm sure some of thick skuld concerned were like, well,
we don't need ground traffic control for cars, right because
people just know not to drive into each other.

Speaker 1 (53:56):
You've got to have rules, right.

Speaker 3 (53:59):
Damn never mind, I'm back on board. I think we
I think we got this thing figured out.

Speaker 1 (54:04):
That's like that they're trying to get a thing going
here that's like uber helicopters, the worst idea anyone's ever heard.

Speaker 3 (54:10):
I think that's exactly what's going to happen. I think
this is going to be a thing that they'll like
call them flying cars, but they'll just be like helicopters essentially,
and it'll just be for rich people, like for a handful.

Speaker 1 (54:24):
Of rich people with a death wish.

Speaker 3 (54:27):
Yeah. Yeah, and it kind of already is that, Like
people who don't live in LA might not like live
with helicopters constantly flying overhead, but like La, you know,
like Kobe was flying around in a helicopter, Like a
lot of wealthy people like fly around in helicopters like
when they need to get somewhere.

Speaker 1 (54:45):
So I mean it's yeah, yeah, it's it's again.

Speaker 2 (54:48):
This is like what Sal Paula is like in Brazil,
like where people fly in helicopters because of the traffic.
But it's also it's down class lines because it's like, well,
if I'm in a car, I might I might be
vulnerable to kidnap, right, so I just fly above it
all to my luxury apartment, to my business to wherever.

Speaker 1 (55:06):
Well, they'll never see it coming when me and my
band of helicopter bandits.

Speaker 2 (55:11):
Yeah, the robbery strings around the roaders deal with that.
But again, like they have like they have like some
some weird wild amount of like helicopter air traffic control
and sopollow because there's so many fucking people just flying
around a helicopters to be like not dealing with the
not dealing with the terrestrial bullshit, right.

Speaker 1 (55:31):
Going to their job at the Space Space Lead Corporation,
right exactly.

Speaker 3 (55:36):
El Musk has said that he's gonna invent flying cars.
He actually did that ten years ago, saying that he
was going to do it just for fun and the
only challenge was making them quiet. But that that's wrong,
and what a.

Speaker 2 (55:50):
Fucking this is. It's so easy for these tech people
to just do the dumbest lies, to be like to
puff your chest. I'm like, dude, that's fucking light work, bro,
the flying iron Man. Yeah, the one thing I gotta
do just make them quieter. Everything else I gotta figure
it out. And then other people go, oh wow that
thank you. That's so crazy, dog, thank you, bro? Yeah,
I love you. Can I buy Tesla hat now? Yeah, dude,

(56:12):
seventy eight bucks.

Speaker 3 (56:13):
Like he tried to do just like tunnels. He just
tried to be like, we're gonna make tunnels that people
can drive through, and like he fucked that up massively,
but like got the funding, and you know.

Speaker 1 (56:24):
Well funding, you waste the money. He stops us from
having the train that goes up and down California. That yeah,
all real.

Speaker 2 (56:32):
Bad, right. Yeah, And this I'm assuming this will flying
cars will be available to everyone. It won't just be
the obscenely wealthy. No, of course, it even now is
clearly like they're like, you can get one for twenty bucks.

Speaker 3 (56:47):
I think, yeah, No, it's just gonna be more. Yeah,
they're already pursuing it. It's just gonna essentially be a
helicopter flight for the extremely wealthy. The big problem is infrastructure,
like not in the skies, but on the ground, since
companies haven't figured out how to cite, permit and construct
enough places for vehicles to land and take off, and yeah,

(57:10):
you would. It would necessitate pilot training, which, as we
saw in the latest episode of the latest season of
The Rehearsal, takes a lot of time costly licensing. Aircraft
manufacturers need to submit designs years in advance. And there
are flying cars now, but they don't look like cars,
and they kind of exist in a weird legal gray

(57:32):
area with these like electric vertical takeoff in landing vehicles
or EV tolls, and they're just designed for very rich people.
There's one company that markets the very first certified commercial
flying car ever delivered, and it's a picture of this
like weird like three wheeled car. You know, you ever

(57:54):
see those like three wheeled cars out on the road.

Speaker 1 (57:56):
Yeah, like a raptor.

Speaker 2 (57:57):
I think is that it looks like one of those.

Speaker 3 (58:01):
And they just like parked it in the driveway of
a mansion and then they just inserted a photo of
like a seventy year old rich guy in a tuxedo
next to it. They're just like this is this basically
sums it up.

Speaker 1 (58:15):
Like rich people want to be in a tin can
in the sky. That's right, it's unregulated.

Speaker 2 (58:20):
It looks like a Chrysler Prowler.

Speaker 1 (58:23):
That's exactly what it looks like. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (58:25):
I don't even see where the fucking wings are.

Speaker 2 (58:28):
I don't know, because I think they just moved the
front wheels of the Chrysler Prowler to the back. And
they're like, ah, and that's that fucking flies and you
have it and it comes with a tuxedo, so you're.

Speaker 3 (58:40):
Good for you good And it's just like a Halloween
store level tux.

Speaker 2 (58:45):
A T shirt with the tuxedo on the front.

Speaker 3 (58:48):
Because they are impractical and elitist, of course, Donald Trump
is embracing them. In June, he signed executive orders establishing
a quote pilot program for EV tolls that would apply
to emergency medical services, air taxis, and cargo deliveries, among
other areas.

Speaker 2 (59:03):
Okay, I like medical services, great, start with that, and
then he goes taxis and you're like, that's are the
lobbyist where they're like, hey man, what about the fucking
taxis too? Because I can get more rich people in
the sky. I mean, the road's already unsafe with people
in like on the ground in cars, you know what
I mean. Like, add to that some wealthy person who

(59:24):
already thinks they're now literally above it all and above
the law, like they're not gonna get into their fucking
EV toll and be completely fucked up behind the joystick
or whatever they fucking fly this thing with. Yeah, I
guess at that point they would have a chauffeur who Yeah.

Speaker 1 (59:38):
I'm playing it with my mind obviously, Yeah, with my neuralink. Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 2 (59:43):
That's why it took me to Odyssey Video Officer.

Speaker 3 (59:46):
There's quote somebody doesn't maintain their flying car, it could
drop a hubcap and guillotine you. Uh. And that was
from Elon Musk, who wants to kind of push forward
with us.

Speaker 1 (59:57):
Man, he sure is concerned about Gill teens for some reason. Yeah,
a lot of.

Speaker 2 (01:00:06):
Good could Gallen Maxwell you who knows?

Speaker 3 (01:00:09):
From administration announced they will allow companies to test air
taxis before they're formally certified by the FAA. That was
just last week.

Speaker 1 (01:00:17):
Oh thank god?

Speaker 3 (01:00:18):

kid that's kid rock. Hey man, people want to see
you fuck whatever that weird some weird ship.

Speaker 2 (01:01:21):
When I got them when you sent me the lines

do at least three different reads each month to really
give give Molly options and post round yeah energy, Oh.

Speaker 1 (01:01:34):
Yeah, dude.

Speaker 2 (01:01:35):
I shot a whole twelve pack of bug Bud Light
with a shotgun before I recorded.

Speaker 1 (01:01:39):
You're wearing a little straw hat, a little tank top.

Speaker 2 (01:01:42):
And an ascott because I don't want to forget I
am a rich boy deep just like Kid Rock.

Speaker 3 (01:01:47):
I am a rich boy.

Speaker 1 (01:01:52):
Molly.

Speaker 3 (01:01:52):
Is there work a media you've been enjoying?

Speaker 1 (01:01:56):
Um man, I've just been watching The Simpsons when times
are yeah, sometimes you don't have it. And I watched
their new Real house tives of Salt Lake City, which
is incredible. Somebody was like, why is this new season
like twin Peaks for some reason? And it is. It
is the editing, really, Yeah, you just watched the first episode.

(01:02:19):
It is the strangest editing it is. You would think
it was a true crime show. It's very weird and
I love it.

Speaker 2 (01:02:27):
Speaking of or Salt Lake, I was just like, Gallaine
Maxwell and gen Shaw are in the same prison.

Speaker 1 (01:02:34):
Yeah, I mean it is a true crime show because
of gen Shaw and like all of the Real Housewives
end up being true crime shows because somebody gets arrested
for being a scammer on almost every one of the franchise.

Speaker 2 (01:02:47):
But it's like these people who project wealth are like,
I'm not on the up and up.

Speaker 3 (01:02:51):
Huh.

Speaker 1 (01:02:51):
Just watch the first episode. It's crazy. It's like they
go on an RV trip and then they start telling
scary stories around a campfire about a woman who escaped
from Mormonism and then haunts people who have sinned. And
that girl was me. No, but her name is Mollie.
The ghost's name is Molly Shehan.

Speaker 3 (01:03:13):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (01:03:14):
And there's like a thing in Mormonism where they call
people Molly Mormon when they're like a that's like the stereotypical.

Speaker 3 (01:03:23):
Because do you know what they call my Mormons who
aren't good Mormons and like smoke and drink jack Mormons.
That's true, jack o Mormon Jack and jacko Mormons.

Speaker 1 (01:03:35):
Yeah, definite. They call them.

Speaker 3 (01:03:37):
Tubans, Yeah, tubans miles. Where can people find you as
their working media you've been enjoying? Yeah, find me uh everywhere,
you know, fucking everywhere. They have a symbols everywhere.

Speaker 2 (01:03:52):
Also, catch me talking about ninetyday fiance on four twenty
Day Fiance. Uh, what I've been watching. I've just been
watching Love Is Blind UK in it uh to do this.
I'm just getting through it, and it's just so this one,
the UK one, like it's it's hit or miss. There
are people, some people got great Bunna, but there's also

(01:04:12):
just like it's just the show's just so funny to
me because these people like like are so mentally unwell
that they're like, I fell in love with someone through
a wall and I'm going to marry them and then inevitably,
like it unravels in the most predictable way, and I'm like, guys,
what the fuck did you think this was? There's like
only there's only like two people in the history of
the show that actually made it. But anyway, I've been

(01:04:34):
watching that for a bit of relationship shot and freude.

Speaker 3 (01:04:37):
I wonder like the fact that every time there's Real Housewives,
they like are doing a scam. Do we just think
that that's because that's a natural sampling of rich people
in the United States, And it's just like it's a
little bit bad a scam.

Speaker 1 (01:04:50):
And I also think there is a kind of like
like murderer who can't stop confessing thing where they're just like, yes,
I will go on television and no one will ever
know my secret. And one of the people, one of
the other housewives who has a like a scam church,
she's like just still on the show in her church married. Yeah, Mary, So.

Speaker 2 (01:05:10):
That that shit is. I remember the first season.

Speaker 1 (01:05:12):
I'm like, y'all, yeah, she's married to her grandfather.

Speaker 2 (01:05:16):
Yeah, this is all fuck, she's married to her grandfather.

Speaker 1 (01:05:20):
Jack's face when I just said she's married to her
grandfather and you were like, yeah, look, get into it.
Get into the show. It's a crazy show. It's also
like the the other that one is like the least
like these people are rich and lead glamorous lives. It's
like they're rich and their lives are they live in
Salt Lake City. Yeah, and sometimes they get the dirty sodas,

(01:05:42):
which look really good. I mean, right, put the creamer
in the soda. Oh so it's her step grandfather. Yeah,
it's her step grandfather, Stampa blood normal. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:05:54):
My favorite genre, My favorite genre of born.

Speaker 3 (01:06:00):
Work media. I've been I like this tweet from Alex
