(06:57):
On the other hand, he's the coiner of the phrase plumpers,
which is disgusting and should be prosecuted as a crime
against humanity. To describe his thighs, it's Blake wax Law.

Hi, everybody, this is Blake Jill Loftus westler a Ka.
Plump are my thighs. I ride recumbent bikes. Plump are

Hi guys, great to see you, say great to see you.
And on the truth set, the truth.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Of the situation is that carl shorts are elastic when
there's not much fabric. So, yeah, that's true where it's
never spoken.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
No, that's a great thing. Yeah, yeah, it's great to do.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
How are you doing.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
I'm doing good. I'm jealous of the meals that you've
been having. I find that salad pot pie. Yeah, your salad,
your New England salad pot pie. Yeah, it's the food
in Austin for some like there's a ton of good
food cities, but it is heavier in so many different ways,
where like a meat at night does sit heavier than
(08:19):
like if you go to New York late it had
slices of pizza, like you will feel so much worse,
like just silk, no soaking from the meat sweats. Yeah,
you do have to train your body, but I don't
know if that would ever even happen.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
No, beef Mayre's delight meat in mourning, I don't I
don't have anything and Miles. You know, you know the
famous thing, you just ate two sausage patties. Yeah, they're good.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
They thought you were getting one. Now elaborate on that.
So you thought you were getting one, and you believe
the second one came by way of complaints.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Every time I've had they would say, it's like a
double sausage patty. This just felt like some ship like
this was normal. They're like, yeah, bro, you had a
double two sausage patties in there.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
We started off double. Anyways, Blake, it's wonderful to have you.
We're going to get to know you a little bit better,
and I'm all we're going to tell the listeners a
couple of things we're talking about. We're gonna talk about
the line go down, market chaos, Uh is happening. The
mainstream media is paying attention two ways in which the
Trump administration baid. But that's because line go down, and
(09:30):
so we're going to talk about that and why it's
actually because he's good. The reason the economy is going
down is because he's good.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Ball. Yeah, mainly it's balls.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
And then we'll we'll talk about some mega people who
are facing repercussions, such as the woman who tipped her
waiter wrote out the word zero you suck, and then
some other horrible things and now has a gofund me
of being racism for finding out. Yeah, exactly my finding out.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
It's a wonderful tale.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
And also Elon Musk, I feel like is in the
finding out phase in a couple of ways.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
So we'll check in with him.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
And we'll look at some of these j D bands
memes that have taken the world the Internet by storm
and ask is there a deeper meaning here? All that
plenty more, But first, Blake, we do like to ask
our guest, what is something for your search history?
Speaker 3 (10:29):
Something for my search history? How to give a dog
a massage? I I was thinking recently where I'm like,
so you pet dogs, you cuddle dogs, But I'm like,
I bet they would want a massage too, especially as
they get older and like their joints get, you know,
start to hurt. And I googled how to give a
(10:50):
dog a massage? And the videos believe or not really
fucking weird. So I'm personally taking my foot off because
the reason that dogs up for it, Like, what the
oh my god, no, but I'm sure that exists.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
I want to think about.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
That's the natural. Next next they put on like the music,
and it was more like rubbing than like kneading, you know,
and I'm like, oh, I just want to give my
dog like a little bit of a you know, some
squeezes in the shoulders and the haunches and you know,
pat them on the head is kind of what I
was more looking for. But this was a whole, a
whole fucking thing. So I think there's different degrees.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Where'd you net out? Like, so, what kind of service
did you put? Yeah, reiki? It was.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
It was a combination between a reiki and like a
light tissue.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
I do that to my dog though, because I'm like, yeah,
come on, man, you you've had a heart. Like I
do the same thing mentally to my dog, thinking like yeah,
they'll like this, but I just kind of massage like
the neck because I'm like, well, they hold their necks
up all the time, so I just kind of like
just just work out those neck muscles and not in
a way where I'm like is the pressure good? More
just to be like here is soothing touch on your
(12:04):
neck muscles?
Speaker 1 (12:06):
YEA, yeah, I feel like I wanted to do that
to my dogs. And they just never fucked with it.
They just wanted like little scratches.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Oh they're doing just what this?
Speaker 3 (12:14):
Yeah, we all have our preferences as dogs. And speaking
of the reiki thing, my now wife and I were
like in Lake Arrowhead, which doesn't matter where we were,
but it was for Valentine's Day and then we were
like kind of hanging out after the dinner. So she
like checked her phone real quick to make sure our
dog was okay and had like a bunch of messages
(12:34):
and her wrote, our hour Rover wanted to give him
energy healing like from wow, like and she was like, oh, wait,
that won't hurt him, right, And then fifty minutes later
she just like, I'm like, you're worse than this lady is,
because like she's like, what tell us about his trauma
and like insinuating that there was trauma. She's like, he
(12:54):
can't be around skateboards. She may have been neutered like
two weeks two or or something, and I'm like, what
are you doing?
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Right? Yeah, it's a real people. Do your dog a scorpio? Actually?
Speaker 3 (13:06):
Yea, yeah, he's a scorpio for sure. Introduction of scorpio.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Oh my god, that dog is such a scorpio.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
If you like, I don't know what month that is,
I'm with you. I can't. I have no tolerance for it.
I hate the sky.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Anything, clouds, stars them all the sun, not Drune, not drun,
They're cool. Those Angel had a nice conversation with with
some people with a drone podcast that we might have
to have on this show.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
That'd be sick.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Yeah, just how to fly him showing some sick footage
that they caught. Damn you shot this in one take,
going through a sushi restaurant.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
That's sick. What is something flake you think is underrated?
Speaker 3 (13:57):
Underrated? Like this is actually a serious like listening to
your body and whether or not it needs to massage
a talk. No, it's like listening to your body where
if it's like, oh, if you're tired, if you're feeling exhausted,
or if you feel like you're getting sick, like take
a power Oh yeah, no, that's what I used to do.
(14:17):
And it's like, oh, it's weird that I've been sick
for four years. Maybe I should maybe take some time off.
But also like if you want to, like I don't know,
if you work out a lot and your like body
feels like shit. It's like, hey, like, don't don't do
that today. Maybe they can break out today. Yeah, maybe
don't work out today. And where did you do this?
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Little? Where'd you find this stuff out? Where'd you get
this wisdom?
Speaker 3 (14:36):
I got this wisdom from a scorpio actually that I
ran into on the string?
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Yeah, who asked me about my trauma?
Speaker 1 (14:43):
The subreddit for cucks who aren't on their grind set?
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Is that where you got it?
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Like?
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Frick? Are you?
Speaker 3 (14:50):
Where is this coming from?
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Why are you talking grinding?
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Bro? Are you you're trying to stay You're trying to
fuck with my bag by saying shit like this.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Okay, I'm just trying to help people relax and not
everybody's like you. Not everybody doesn't have an off switch.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Yo. You ever met my boy Blake, Dude, they call
him the pepper mill because you stay grinding.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
Oh I told you that in confidence, but that is true.
If we're going to stay it on air, they do
call me the pepper mill, although.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Pepper mills do take nice long breaks in between when
the people bring them out to put the pepper mil
on your what's yeah, what's that like for the pepper milk?
Where it's like and now what I'm no longer.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
I look at the fucking pepper mill and I get
so angry because that ship doesn't stay grinding?
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Just can I so fucking lazy dude.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
Does the wood on the pepper mill need to be
that nice?
Speaker 2 (15:45):
I mean it feels like that, like specific design, Yeah,
but like the kind of wood just reminds you of
like a like a chair leg at like an Italian
restaurant from the eighties.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Maybe that's where it started. Maybe we're chair leg Yeah,
they just bash the pepper corns with a chair leg.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Oh yeah, you want some pepper?
Speaker 3 (16:07):
This is any Yeah?
Speaker 2 (16:09):
You have you seen the.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Pepper mills that are like motor like they have a
motor yeah, yeah, with the battery that makes for no
reason as well automate that as much as anything else.
But it just makes me angry. I'm like, what the fuck?
Speaker 2 (16:24):
I don't know why. In my mind, I think it's
somehow less than than if I do it with my hands.
It's like my idea there. Yeah, I don't know. Maybe
maybe because it's like the same way like coffee people
use like the handmill versus like the electric one, because
it affects the flavor, but I doubt that's for me.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
I'm fine with the motorized coffee grinder, but the pepper
mill better be giving somebody a repetitive stress injury in
their wrist.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Because otherwise I'm not happy. It better be fucking two
feet long.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
That better be so long, man, better be better be
a pot possible murder weapon.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
Yeah, a literal.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
A shoulder mounted all right, Blake, what is something that
you think is overrated? Overrated? I'm gonna go with hardcovered
books or hardcover books. They're too big, they're hard to pack,
like into a bag, and they are dangerous where the
(17:29):
corners are so pointy, where if you aren't paying attention,
that could take an eye out, it could penetrate your skin,
Like no one knows what do you mean.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
I've always been like this, take an eye out? Were
you hardcover book?
Speaker 3 (17:54):
So yeah, I'm a team team paperback. And that is
a hashtag that is not catching on despite the amount
of money I've put into that.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
But do they still like?
Speaker 1 (18:05):
I feel like it's still the standard process to go
hardcover into paperback paperback, like and only if you succeed
do you get a paperback printed. If it's some shiit
nobody wants to read. They're just like, well, we're not
gonna we're not gonna follow through on that.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
And they're more expensive too.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
They're more expensive. They are way more dangerous. This is
like a take that a three year old would have,
like being like those things are dan, you know what
I mean, or like somebody year old, Yeah, yeah, no,
do you have a do you have like a child
around the house that recently or you're just you just
(18:47):
know not recently.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
They've thrown into a fifty year old.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Man, you know.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
It's it's funny. I was just reading this thing because
I was trying to get a book in paperback and
it just wasn't available for fucking ever. And like, I
don't want a fucking hardcover book. And there's this article
that just came out that it said more publishers are actually,
for quote, foregoing books second life in favor of sticking
to hardcover ebook and audiobook releases. So they're actually releasing
(19:15):
less paperbacks.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
Now it's fucked.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
Yeah, this is fucked.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
And the book jack, I don't like the jacket on
books either on hardcovers.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
What are you fucking cold?
Speaker 3 (19:26):
Yeah, that's what I said of the book.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Yeah, then I throw it in the fire.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
That's right, that's right. And then I open up a
window at a draft in see how it does. Doesn't
do good? Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
And also, you know, as we've talked about on the show,
the soft you know, paperbacks, if they're of a sufficient size,
can be used as a as a great way to
you know, hit somebody without bruising.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
Yeah, exactly. Nobody works with someone like grown somebody you're interrogating. Yeah,
body with their pants off and their ass in the air. Yeah,
face down, ass up.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
No, no, no, don't read that one. Don't read that's
all right, Blake, thank you so much, thank you, thank
you so much. We're gonna take a quick break. We'll
be right back to talk about some news. And we're back.
(20:36):
We're back, dude, We're back, dude.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
And you know, I'm always I've always got the stock
app up on my smart smartphone device and.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
Just Pokemon go dude. All right, So I have Pokemon
Go up. But like in many ways, Pokemon.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
Go, like can teach you a lot about the stock market,
but I just I just live and die with that
thing with the stymander. You know, I'm like everyone does,
how's that freaking Nasdac doing.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Dude. You know, it's fucking some p five hund Dude,
just focus on the p the pepper because it stays
grinding in the ess pepper five hundred. Is that what
it actually tell me that I'd be like standards and poor. Yeah,
it's up five hundred, but yeah, man, this the line
(21:26):
goeth downward. And you know, Trump continues to sort of
make good on his promise to make the country as
fucked up as possible, and he's had to deal with
not only outrage from his voters, but also the oligarch
homies and the hyper wealthy buddies because they do not
like when stonks go down and the Dow continues to
(21:46):
move in the wrong direction. And all Trump did on
Monday just to try and like fucking help out like
kind of steady things. Was he posted like over like
a hundred times in six hours on truth social just anything.
Did he really? Yeah, dude, it was fucking wild. It
was just ship like retweeting articles that were like Trump's
doing good, like just this weird thing.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
He's like, let me just tweet out all the the
first administration, having like a sense memory of like when
things start going bad. He just like starts retweeting things compulsively.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Yeah, it's yeah right. It's like basically if a restaurant
had like an account and they just started reposting their
five star reviews when they're in the middle of like
a racism controversy. They're like, but look at this one.
Linda from Mission Viejo loved the penne But anyway, so
now this is like become a huge thing with everyone
talking from Fox News to the Wall Street Journal being
(22:41):
like this is actually bad. Like I don't know what
the fuck's going on like this because so many of
these people are there's money, he's tied up in the
stock market. They're like, what the fuck is like now
we're getting touched? Now the fuck is going on?
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Now is the big you know, you don't see it
until it starts fucking touches money. Yeah, And then all
of a sudden, the media cli is like, wait a second,
this hold on, this seems bad.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
Yeah. The way I still stay wealthy is now being
is now in jeopardy because of this guy. And now
it's time for the media and Trump's lackey's to sort
of tell the people why the chaos is good. There's
one that I particularly sticks out to me, this guy
Rob Schmidt, who's on Newsmax and one of their stupidest
like and that's that's an achievement to be one of
(23:24):
their dumbest people on Newsmax. But yeah, this is he
tweeted this out just to try and tell people to
fucking chill the fuck out. Quote. Yeah, the TAO is plunging.
This is happening because we have a president with the
balls globalist economic agenda that's decimated American wages and quality
(23:45):
of life. This is the pain that comes from real change.
It's much easier to just pass the buck. So yeah,
Trump's balls are giving you pain. Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
It's good.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
They're two big miles. I've been saying that they're so big.
His smoke too, He smoked too tough.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
His ball's too big.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
I look, I don't give too much of a ship
when the stock market is doing well, because that money
is just getting funneled upward to corporations and like you know,
they use it to do stock buybacks. But when the
economy takes an absolute shit like, that's when trickle down
economics actually becomes a thing.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
That's what it is.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
That.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Yeah, that trickles down on all of us. And when
the stock market costs down, Yeah, corporations are suddenly like, yeah,
we've got we're facing headwinds. We've got to start firing
people when it goes up. Yeah, they just keep that
money for themselves. So it's a real win win for
like five people and lose lose for everyone else. But
it's also a little thrilling when this happens, because it
(24:47):
does seem to be the only thing that matters to
this country in terms of who gets to wheel power
is right when the stock fuck the money up, Yeah,
don't fuck the money like that, keep the stock on
the rails so that the wealthy people and the wealthy
corporations that drive everything forward. I wouldn't say progress, but
(25:09):
like everything else, like keep the wheels of power emotion,
like all that needs the money to go forward. But
like the Democratic Party only really exists because they cater
to keeping that whole, like the you know, the capital
e economy. That's what like they sacrificed, Like that's what
Obama sacrificed the hope and change message for when he
(25:31):
like bailed out the Wall Street banks. It's you know
why Bernie was not allowed to win against Hillary, and
then I think like internalized Wall Street journal op eds
caused Democratic voters to think Biden was the only real
option in twenty twenty. But it also feels like the
thing that could be the Jenga block that could cause
(25:51):
the second administration to really fall apart, you know, like
Trump so Trump like there there definitely seems to be
like more pop culture support.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
For Trump this time around.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
I just found out Tiger Woods like openly endorses Donald Trumps.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Trump said he was the Tiger Woods of presidents during that.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
Stupid there's all sorts of rappers who are endorsing him
in a way that I find troubling. The real buy
in that's important, though, that he had the first time
around that he might stop having this time is Wall
Street and the massive corporations like and you know, all
(26:34):
of his like radical We do things a little different
around here. We serve things top us style. We we
cut all government programs and policies. If that fucks up
the money of Wall Street and like the big E economy.
I do feel like that's a thing that might make
this second administration like a little bit interesting. Yeah, it might,
(26:58):
It might start to the deep state, might start really
deep stating on his ass in a way that might
make things pretty difficult for him. Otherwise, he's just going
to keep you know, he'll be fine.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
And these corporations and big money people, they love predictability.
They like to be able to predict how much money
is going to come in. And when you have a
guy making decisions even though his balls are so fucking big, it's.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
One thing they didn't take into a camp lake.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
As they all backed as they were like, I don't know, man, like,
let's just go full Trump.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
Let's a ball that is surge the nas sack.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Oh man, Yeah, yes, so one thing we do know
about Trump ginormous sacking balls tiny.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
Little bit tiny, But who needs one?
Speaker 2 (27:55):
We love We love potatoes around here, don't we.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
That's right?
Speaker 2 (27:58):
But yeah, I feel like it's it might just go
in a different direction for him now. Well it's I
mean it's clear anytime keeps up, anytime someone comes in
and disrupts the economy or like at least the status
quo or talks about it, it uses the forces tend
to sort of circle around to try and like purge
(28:19):
it from the system. But I think in this time,
because Trump comes in with such pro business speak, they're
just having trouble wrapping their head around the fact that
this guy is also absolutely rocking the boat, like in
the most fucked up way, and they're like, wait, what
wait where all of our capital protecting instincts now or
have they gone out the window as they try and
because now it's just turning into like begging on Fox News,
(28:42):
where people are like, I would tell them, at President,
you know, if this is a sales pitch, maybe we
need to tweak the sales pitch a little bit and
really get people to understand sort of how we look
at this long term. And you know, I don't know
how people like they're supposed to look at that last
tweet and be like, yeah, my entire my whole retire
might be in jeopardy because he has elephantiasis day. What
(29:05):
is it? The balls and the balls? The thing is,
this guy is destroying the economy intentionally, and I know
many people are just like, well, he's just dumb. He
doesn't He's like he's dumb and doing it on purpose.
That's why it looks so fucking ridiculous, because his way
of doing it is so absurd. And he talks tough
on tariffs and walks it back so then and then
threatens them again and again, like you're saying, Blake, it's
(29:27):
that unpredictability that sends the markets in the direction that
it is. And then while people are fearing like a
full blown recession, Trump only worsens the problem when he
gives answers like this. A lot of people were sharing
this clip of him talking to Maria Bartiromo where she's
just like this whole interview was meant to like calm
the market and be like I'm gonna throw you soft balls,
(29:49):
like saying, you know, do you expect a recession? And
then you just say no, You say, this is I'm
very confident in what's gonna happen. But this is how
this fucking question was handled. When Marie asked the dear leader,
because there are rising worries about a slowdown, You've got
the Atlanta Federal Reserve say we're going to have a
contraction in the first quarter. Look, I know that you
(30:09):
inherited a mess and you say, I don't have been here.
Are you expecting a reception this year? I hate to
predict things like that.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
There is a period of transition, because what we're doing
is very big.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
We're bringing wealth back to America.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
Okay, can you answer the recession?
Speaker 2 (30:30):
What about?
Speaker 1 (30:32):
I hate to use words like recession. I hate to
predict anything.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
The best it was like and you inherited a mess
that been two weeks hours, two weeks. I don't have
been here, expect I been here for like, yeah, so
this is it's getting bad. And again the like Wall
Street Journal has op eds now that essentially, like the
distillation of the op eds are like, please stop, motherfucker O.
(30:58):
Precious stunks and economy are shiitting the bed. And meanwhile,
Gavin Newsom's new bestie Charlie Kirk is telling his years
that they need He said, they need to shut up
about egg prices just analogies what they do, Like, just
shut up about the thing that I was telling you
that he's going to make better. And he also told
us he's going to make just shut up about it now,
(31:19):
okay gas some Newsom? Yeah, yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
It'll be interesting to see where this goes if he
if he's able to.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
The one thing that like keeps me from thinking this
is going to continue to fall apart is that I
feel like a lot of the like stock market and
just like market economy in general to this point has
been like that they can just kind of will themselves
(31:48):
to stay, you know, like they can like during the pandemic,
they were just like, I don't know what, We'll be fine,
like just pretend like.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
Shit is good. We'll raise prices. We'll just yeah, we'll
raise crisis and we'll scam peep lands, push push the
pain downwards.
Speaker 3 (32:03):
Yeah, this was a scary thing about him too, is
that I'm trying to find a silver lining in a
sack of shit, but like he in a big bald.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
Sec of shit.
Speaker 3 (32:13):
But he does. He's like the thing that was such
a like a scary word in politics which is now
probably like fifteen twenty years ago, is he just couldn't
care less. Where the guy doesn't say anything that he
actually believes in or thinks is true. So he will
pause tariffs, he'll take the tariffs away, he'll put the
terriffs back, and they'll be like, hey, remember when you
(32:35):
tried to pick tariffs and it was destroying the economy,
Like I don't we like, let's not talk about egg prices.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
Will talk up about it prices it is you just
pull this.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
Yeah, it is nice to see them going through the
exact same thing that Democrats were going through, where it
was why doesn't everybody shut the fuck up about all
the ways we're doing a bad job? Yeah, that's just
the job of the party when they're in hour is
like telling their supporters stop protesting guys.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
Yeah, yeah, just everybody, wait shop, why are you pointing
out all the fucking inconsistencies and what we campaigned on
and what we're delivering. This is like hater ration in
the nation in this dancery the ration. Yeah, so that's
kind of ties directly Blake what you were talking about about.
Just the fact that they say whatever is whatever benefits
(33:27):
them in the moment is my theory on the jd
Vance memes. So our writer Jam was wondering if there's
a deeper truth behind these jd vance memes that from Wired,
who's the where's that quote from the deeper meaning thing?
The deeper meaning or no deeper true? Oh, giz Moto
it was the gizmo article.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
Yeah, so Gizmoto wrote an article that was arguing that
it's these memes are apparently popular across both the left
and the right.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
The right is also meming him. You've seen those, right,
Blake the like toddler face JD Van's me. Yeah, yeah,
well they're they're everywhere. Yeah, it's like the new currency
of the Internet.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
It was after the Ukraine meeting, right that. Yeah, so yeah,
like quick background on it. If you're on the internet,
you're seeing his bulbous face staring back at you. It
took off after the the Linsky meeting, which this one
is still my favorite. Like they just took the picture
of him saying like you got to say please and
(34:35):
thank you missus Winsky and just like gave him the
biggest cheeks and he just looks like a big baby
and it's really well executed. And then people from there,
I mean people have been doing that for a little while,
like turning into a cabbage patch doll, but that it
really took off, and now it's like all anybody's doing.
Speaker 3 (34:55):
I don't know what he actually looks like anymore.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
Yeah, there's the overly patriotic Minion is one that I've
seen Baron Harkonen from Dune, although yeah.
Speaker 2 (35:09):
He looks a little kind of shredded in that one.
I feel like he looks like Alex Jones, like in
that one where he's kind of emerging emerging from the
and head.
Speaker 1 (35:20):
Yeah, the his they swapped out his head for the
nuclear explosion from the original Akira manga.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
Hell yeah, that's.
Speaker 1 (35:27):
All great stuff. Although it should be noted that the
photoshopping of JD. Vance began on the Republican side when
Congressman Mike Collins, as our friend of the show former
guest kat Abou put it, Mike Collins yaified Vance's portrait.
Do you guys remember this, like where there is a
(35:48):
portrait of him and they just like made him look
like a chat They.
Speaker 2 (35:54):
Just turned him into it. Yeah, it was like it
was like it's like ozembic mixed with some botox and
filler basically yeah, yeah and human. Yeah, they just made
him w yeah.
Speaker 1 (36:06):
Just stud instead of around face baby.
Speaker 2 (36:09):
And so they they.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
Threw the first stone in this battle. But now, like
even Fox News is reporting on the liberal trolls sharing
the memes and like it's just a great screen cap.
Speaker 2 (36:25):
It's wild to have that chiron and like run this
image or says liberal trolls share wild memes of JD.
Vans and then just show all these brutal memes like yeah,
why even I think that's where it's there, is like
this weird appeal even to Republicans, where normally like sure,
there's always like they'll do the thing, like you know,
(36:46):
I remember there was a plenty of outrage reporting on
like the shitty memes people would would post of like
the Obamas or Biden or whatever. But like in this version,
like it feels like they're trying to also be like,
look what they're fucking doing to us, but also like
they're showing so many that I'm sure people are just like, yeah,
that's kind of funny. Though. That looks about right. And
when you consider the fact that Republicans are also sharing
(37:08):
this too, and again.
Speaker 1 (37:10):
Sees like everybody, Yeah, there's a Yahoo article that says
but they're equally if not more popular on the right,
explicitly pro Trump accounts on x that otherwise spend their
time bashing liberals are posting embarrassing memes of their party
second in command. I feel it does feel like the
catch fucking all over again. I do want to note
he tried to get in on the joke. He posted
(37:32):
a meme of himself as Leonardo DiCaprio in Once Upon
a Time in Hollywood, like pointing at the TV. But
he of course just combined his face with Leonardo DiCaprio,
so he like looked handsomer than he actually is. So
he's not not really ready to laugh at himself so
much as just once is like, hey, guys, I can
(37:54):
so handsome.
Speaker 2 (37:55):
I am kind of but yeah.
Speaker 1 (37:57):
So Gizmoto's argument is that, like the you know, the
popularity of these is evidence that there's something uniquely alien
and awful about him, and that the distorted version of
his face actually speaks to a deeper truth. And I
think there's something true there, Like I think, like i'd
say there's something like unacknowledged in his persona, in particular
(38:22):
that he went from being like this liberal darling on
MSNBC too, like people were like calling him like a
hope for like defeating Trump, like on the on the
Republican side, to like being business nazi and the vice
president in the space of like a few years. And
I feel like, you know, it's boring to say, like
(38:42):
these guys are empty suits, you don't believe in anything,
but there is something existentially terrifying about the fact that
the way you get ahead in this current version of
our society is to be completely devoid of belief and
just like yeah, just be willing to have meaning and
(39:03):
belief projected onto you and be completely otherwise empty and
not believe in anything. It's just like this like complete
nihilism that he represents and the fact that he's just
this completely malleable asshole who like succeeds in like going
from one extreme to another at a time when you know,
(39:23):
people like this is these belief systems are like, you know,
liberal versus mega people are like we're about to have
a civil war over this, and then you have this
guy who just like fits in on both sides. I
feel like there's like something existentially terrifying about that. And
so to attack that malleability by making up memes about
(39:44):
him fucking couches that just seem true immediately, or like
bending his face in ways that also seem true like that,
it's like kind of attacking him at his using his
superpower against him. You know, It's it's true that like
I can't picture what he looks like now because I've
(40:04):
seen so many and it like I don't know that
that would be true of other people necessarily, but because
he just there's something he's just a complete fucking cipher.
Speaker 2 (40:16):
Yeah, it's because he's liked to your point, because he's
so amorphous ye to be able to ascend and to
like fit in whatever space he needs to to curry
favor or gain power. It's like, yeah, that same amorphousness
lends itself to be like, oh, well you now you
can actually be anything we say you are. Yeah, like
and sort of it like like that's the subtext. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (40:38):
Yeah, it's like with spies, like in movies where they're
like the perfect spy, someone who's not memorable, you know,
and it's like, oh, he is the least memorable person,
like from Ohio, you know, like it's if it wasn't
for his eyelashes, you know, like, yeah, you would be beautiful.
Speaker 2 (40:54):
Like the yeah, and he is. He kind of looks
like he kind of looks like one of the dudes
who would have who pulled up with Zod in Superman.
Speaker 1 (41:01):
He does look like one of the dudes who you
know what I mean because.
Speaker 2 (41:04):
They also have like kind of the beard with like
the smoky eyeliner vibe, and I'm like, yeah, he was
creating you were kicking it with odd bro. You were
at that one bearded homie?
Speaker 3 (41:14):
Yeah, what was your name?
Speaker 2 (41:17):
God, what was your name? That wasn't me. I'm sorry,
I'm just just here to install your cable. Anyways, let's uh,
let's take a quick break and we'll be right.
Speaker 3 (41:39):
And we're back.
Speaker 1 (41:40):
And we started to see I guess the theme of
that that well, I guess the theme of this episode
besides that is is consequence maybe for some shady people.
So we're gonna talk about two people. One is a
woman in Ohio who had a very specific message for
(42:01):
her server, yes, at a restaurant, and one of them
is Elon Musk. Yeah, but let's start with the woman.
Speaker 2 (42:07):
Yeah, I mean, this woman used the medium where all
very brave racists go to do battle with people, is
to write passive, aggressive messages on fucking receipts to servers.
And there's just so many of these fucking like maga
fuck around find out stories like that I see on
the internet and like their entire youth. There's like an
(42:29):
entire YouTube genre of this kind of video where it's
dedicated to this kind of content because and I'm well
aware that this serves mostly as copium in this time
of great distress, but there are some stories that involve
just some of the dumbest, hateful people. It's kind of
hard to ignore it. So this woman in Ohio wrote
down on a receipt after an interaction with a server
at a Mexican restaurant, tip zero you suck, then the total,
(42:53):
and then the signature was I hope Trump deports you.
And she leaves that they're you know, and like the
crap out her name. She crossed out her name on
the merchant on her version. But you know, if you've
been there, you usually get two copies for receipts, So
she didn't take that. Her name's emblazoned on it. The
server posts it. But wait, what did the server do
(43:14):
to start off with? He told he informed this woman
that the restaurant had a one coupon per table policy,
and this lady, I guess fucking lost it because she
thought this was extreme couponing or some shit and was
trying to like double and triple up on the coupons.
He's like, not only one coup per tape, Okay, that's
the feeling.
Speaker 3 (43:32):
She wasn't trying to use two either, I don't think right.
Speaker 2 (43:37):
Yeah, she was trying to do that shit, like when
I used to go to bathroom bed Bathroom beyond with
that twenty percent off, and like I had a homie
who thought you could bring five in and it was
one hundred percent off.
Speaker 1 (43:45):
All right, So this one says twenty dollars off, this
one says twenty dollars off. This one's twenty percent off.
So it's actually it ends up at seven dollars that
I vie for that.
Speaker 2 (43:54):
I don't know if you just even read the fine print. Yeah,
only one can be used per transaction. It's not how
math works. So but I just do the math. Five
times twenty is one hundred. One hundred percent means the
one hundred per that I can take off with these
seven hundred towels I bought anyway, So the fucking receipt
was blake.
Speaker 3 (44:12):
You seem like you have a question, sir. I just
got really upset. Another thing, I mean, the whole thing's upsetting.
But like the way she wrote out the total as
if it was a check.
Speaker 2 (44:24):
Yah, know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (44:25):
Eighty seven dollars in writing and and then eighty four
over one hundred because she trust that this person wasn't
going to.
Speaker 2 (44:33):
Like a, I don't know, yeah, add numbers to the end,
so or yeah, or she's one of those people who
is perpetually paranoid about something she read on Facebook about
how you need to also write in text because the
greedy poor people that serve you the food you fucking
eat to live cannot will change the numbers.
Speaker 3 (44:52):
Yeah, and your bank wouldn't flag in eighty seven.
Speaker 2 (44:56):
Forty forty dollars?
Speaker 1 (44:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (44:58):
Yeah, what it says here that you forty dollars A yeah.
Once this receipt, Once this literal receipt was posted online,
this woman fucking scrambled to defend herself. This is so fun,
her first instinct. So she goes, this is what she
(45:19):
posted on her Facebook. My credit card was lost slash
stolen and someone attempted to use it. Thanks for the notifications,
she said about this receipt. This has been reported.
Speaker 1 (45:29):
First of all, I just want to say thank you.
I'm grateful to this to this waiter.
Speaker 2 (45:34):
Actually exactly, this has been reported through my bank and
then on her link that was on Facebook, then on
her LinkedIn because everybody was just fucking giving it to her.
Thank you for all the recent notifications of scammers and
profile hackers. I recently discovered a lost slash, missing credit
card and an attempted you slash purchase. I appreciate your
patience while I managed the situation. Oh okay, so she's
(45:56):
doing that. I was hacked by my own races some defense.
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, okay, that's cool, that's cool.
And this is the other thing. So she said she
she was hacked, right. The problem is, lady, they have
you in fucking four K on security cameras in the restaurant, assholes,
so you can't even do You're not even get away
(46:17):
with that.
Speaker 1 (46:17):
Nice to see the surveillance state work against racism for
yah first time.
Speaker 2 (46:23):
Yeah, got when I'm now this moment where I'm seeing
a racist incident happened on security camera footage. It's not
something involving the police. It's just some racist cell phone
at a restaurant. Predictably, she was fired from her real
estate gig, since you know most most I'm gonna say close,
that's not that predictable anymore.
Speaker 1 (46:45):
I was. I was actually pleasantly surprised to hear that
she was. That's saying she was a real estate agent.
Yeah yeah, let me let me guess the people. She
was not showing homes through ever, But it's made like
generally in the old in the days of in the
old days, in the olden times. You know, most revenue
(47:06):
generating enterprises know that racism can only get you so
many customers. But again, so then what happened was people
rallied around the server started to go fund me to
support him and be like, let's show him how grateful
we are.
Speaker 2 (47:18):
He got a little bit of money. And then, you know,
which makes sense, especially in a climate right now where
people are just cravingly using threats of calling ice or
deport like deportation as a way to terrorize a person.
It's like, yeah, what the fuck, what are you doing
with these people? Then this racist woman decided to do
a copycat move and start her own gofund me, which
(47:39):
was you think he should get a go fund me.
I'll show you this is mine. This is quote. Here's
is called Stephanie's Path to Accountability, Reformation and second chance. Wow,
this is this is what she wrote in the body
of her fucking go fundme. Stephanie Lovin's deeply regrets a
mistake she made that has had serious consequences on her
(48:00):
life in a moment she.
Speaker 1 (48:02):
Can talk about it in the third person. Who did
who in this writing? Does she expect us to believe
his writing? This? I know?
Speaker 2 (48:11):
I mean, it feels like she's gonna end it. Signed
is sincerely Stephanie Levin's. But it is in a moment
of frustration, she wrote something offensive on a restaurant receipt
that she now realizes was hurtful and wrong. Since then,
she has faced intense backlash, lost her job and real
estate license, and had to move herself from social and
(48:32):
remove herself from social media due to embarrassment and harassment.
The two great ments of art.
Speaker 1 (48:38):
He just didn't realize it, Miles. She didn't realize it
was hurtful and wrong at the time. Now she has learned,
and this is new information for her. I'm sorry this
is It's not fair that everybody is ganging up on
her when she just didn't know you couldn't do that.
Speaker 2 (48:54):
Yeah, the old, the old Chappelle joke of white privilege
of saying, oh, I'm sorry, officer right, didn't know I
couldn't do that.
Speaker 1 (49:01):
Uh, to try and get out and get pulled over
with a white friend of the white friends seeding with
the cop. I'm sorry, I didn't know. I couldn't do that,
and the cops like, all right, I'll let you off
with a warning, so good.
Speaker 2 (49:16):
Yeah, I'm just I didn't know. And now I have
to get rid of my social media because it's so
fucking bad. I'm honestly just get fucked. Like. This is
the thing that these hateful people really need to understand.
They clearly operate in a world where empathy is bad.
That's why they're like the whole fuck your feelings type
people so hate naturally seems like a normal thing to
engage in. The other side of that coin, is Stephanie
(49:38):
Lovin's is that you also, with that kind of energy,
you create a world in which no one will fucking
help your dumbass out either, because fuck caring about other people. Right,
So you have to understand ideologically, if that's full steam,
if that's like the that's that's the world you want
to live in, because if it's not, if it's everybody else,
no one is gonna come to your defense. That's why
(50:01):
there's clearly this battle right now for over empathy and
how the right is trying to kill empathy to try
and get away with all this fucked up, inhumane shit
they do to people, and this is the thing. We
have to maintain that because just a world that's worth
living in is one where you, when you need help,
people just don't go, oh fuck you, get the fuck
out of here.
Speaker 3 (50:20):
You know you.
Speaker 2 (50:21):
It's and it's not a utopia. It's just the idea
that we care about each other. And that's just the
most basic shit. But again, you wrote this on your seat.
You're a tough guy, and I bet you walked out
of Anger Management and I'll be seeing you shortly.
Speaker 1 (50:35):
Hate to see that her GoFundMe has since been removed,
because I actually honestly believe the worst about America that
like this could become a cause celeb among the right
and get her funded.
Speaker 2 (50:49):
But on the other hand, I don't know. I mean,
there's too many of them right now. I mean, yeah,
there's so many people, especially since Trump got elected, that
are doing just wild shit doing and hitler salutes and
then crying about it or fucking screaming shit and like
and then getting like when they get in trouble.
Speaker 3 (51:06):
They're like, I'm sorry, I thought that was what's going on.
Speaker 2 (51:09):
It's like, no, that could he does that because he
lives in a world of different consequences. You live down
here with the fucking rest of us. So we're already
like this shit.
Speaker 1 (51:19):
Yeah, we're about just talking about Elon Musk facing consequences,
which he has slightly, and that he lost like a
hundred million dollars of his like one hundred two billion
or one hundred billion dollars of his like five hundred
billion fortune. That is, like, you know, historically the most
money anyone's ever had in the history of the world.
Like when people are talking about him facing consequences and
(51:43):
Tesla's stock crumbling, to your point, Miles, like the Nazi
salute is a big deal. I feel like it's getting
written at like when people, like when the mainstream media
is covering it, they keep being like and people who
object to his dose policy and like his dough shit,
It's like, no, he is the CEO of a major
(52:04):
company that relies on people thinking that company is cool,
and he did a cartoonish like obvious like like just
couldn't control his body. He was doing a Nazi salute
so hard on inauguration Day in front of the whole
fucking world. Yeah like that, Yeah, that feels like the
(52:25):
big thing that people are probably like, I don't want
to drive a Tesla anymore? Are you fucking kidding me?
What are you talking about? Why would I ever drive
a Tesla now? But like that's not being that's not
how it's being discussed. People are like, yeah, he's been
a controversial figure with he with this doge, with.
Speaker 2 (52:42):
His leadership style.
Speaker 3 (52:43):
Yeah yeah, Like, and he's synonymous with that company, like
everyone like he's Tesla is elon Ewon is Tesla. It's
not like one of these like sock companies that Mark
Cuban owns or it's like, you know, Mark Cuban owns
this fucking sock company. It's like, yeah, I didn't know that.
I guess I'll buy these. But it's he is Tesla's,
So everything that he does directly impacts that stupid fucking company.
Speaker 1 (53:08):
Ye.
Speaker 2 (53:08):
Yeah, and that's like the thing that gets him, Like,
you know, so much of his wealth is built on that,
and so much of his the fucking mythos around him
as a person is built around how as Tesla's Like,
you know, the reason why it overperforms as a stock
too is because he's also convinced people when he was
like this isn't even like a fucking car company, dude,
(53:29):
This is like a future AI fully animated world company
that you want to get in now when we literally
run everything. And that's how he's hoping to like resurrect
this stock, because the whole thing is once he fucking
takes a few l's, then he has to come out
with some new weird thing and promise people the future
and say it actually wasn't about any of the things
that I promised before. It's about this new thing and
(53:50):
get people more invested. But yeah, now it's just at
that point where his actions the fucking the amount of
like nazis he like posts that he'll like retweet and
like it's just not it's just not even fucking like
there's really no deniability around it anymore. But yeah, it
is true. Like even in one Rolling Stone article, like
(54:10):
they at least they mentioned it and they did like
the sort of charitable thing is like and also doing
a salute which many interpreted to be a Hitler salute. Interesting,
but like just say that's what it was. And I
get that they want to be like, well he said
it wasn't so just.
Speaker 1 (54:25):
To be fair people, so especially like big companies like
Rolling Stones, so like they probably their legal team of course,
that sh it's just getting you know, lawyered, lawyered down
as much as possible.
Speaker 2 (54:38):
But well, he allegedly did something that he was showing
that he's really into the Third Reich. This is what
I'll say, That's one way to put it. But this
is him now talking on Fox because all the all
of the fucking you know, headlines have been about like,
holy shit, he lost all this money. All the stocks
are going down. This guy is also part of the
(54:59):
whole fucking know problem with the unpredictability of the economy.
And also, you know, as we talked about in the
episode that came out yesterday, was all the shit with
people fucking attacking stores, protesting at stores, you know, vandalizing
Tesla's just like just overall people are just like, bro,
it's toxic to fucking drive one for the amount of
thumbs downs and middle fingers I get. So this is
(55:22):
him on Larry Kudlow's show, where he's being asked like
damn man, you're fucking you're really taking a ton on
by by standing.
Speaker 1 (55:30):
Looks like he got like a glow up, like he
got a haircut, and definitely got a facial or something
for this, and like got styled a little bit because
he's not wearing his standard T shirt, black blazer. I
think he has a little bit more. No, it's going
on because they're like, we need to do something you.
You are fucking hemorrhaging Q points right now, right exactly.
(55:52):
Please don't show up to this interview looking like Captain Ketamine.
Speaker 2 (55:55):
Okay, thank you. Let's fucking act like the CEO.
Speaker 3 (55:58):
So this meant qanonots and I'm like, I think he's
getting a lot of Yeah, he's getting a lot of.
Speaker 2 (56:03):
Q points with QAnon, but not well, what's the cure?
Speaker 1 (56:07):
Is that what it's called the Q raid? I think
it was like Michael Jordan is the you are still
the most popular one, like fifty years later. Yeah, all right,
here's Elon. Let's see what let's see because maybe this
is the interview where like he is sober for the
first time in eighty days and it's like, oh fuck, yeah.
Speaker 2 (56:29):
He's actually he's not talking completely all over the but
but anyway, this is him being asked directly, dude, what's
it like everyone hating you dad just for being a
good guy? Call the action you're feeling you're hearing a
call to action.
Speaker 1 (56:42):
Yeah, you're giving up your other stuff. I mean what
you how are you running your.
Speaker 2 (56:47):
Other businesses with great difficulty? Yeah, I mean but there's
no turning back. You're saying, there's no turning back. Don't
feel the silence.
Speaker 1 (57:03):
I here trying to make government more efficient, eliminate wats
and forward, and.
Speaker 2 (57:11):
So far we're making good progress.
Speaker 1 (57:14):
There's one breath in there that I worry that I
talked over, but it sounded like a little shaky, you know, like, oh, yeah,
which one the first one where his eyebrow goes up? No, no, No,
it was the second one right before he like went
into his answer where it felt like a little bit
like yeah.
Speaker 2 (57:30):
I think after he goes there's no I think it's
when Larry Cudler said so there's no turning back. I
think he's like, yeah, made right. Damn, Larry, don't have
to say it like that. Yeah, I mean that one.
But there's no turning back. You're saying, yeah, I'm just there.
There there is.
Speaker 1 (57:51):
It's the exhale is is quivering, boy, Yeah, he's fucking quivering.
Speaker 3 (57:57):
Ring.
Speaker 1 (57:58):
This is the thing, like I mean, sorry, sorry, just
quickly because he's so weird. I could see it also
being also like he's quivering from horniness because he like
this is what he gets off on, is just people
people buying into like the idea that he's fucked and
actually he's just I think he's still going to be
fine because he's just fucking sabotaged the government specifically in
(58:20):
a way to like benefit him financially. But yeah, either
he's incredibly horny or he's on the verge of bursting
into tears.
Speaker 2 (58:29):
I mean, yeah, one way to look at that is like, dude,
this guy's about to fucking break down because he's completely
fucked over his like financial empire or whatever. But then
the other part is too this also feels like fuck
boy tears, where you try to cry to try and
get people to like forget that you're all the fuck
shit that you've.
Speaker 4 (58:48):
Done and I'm just I'm just trying to be I'm
just trying to do good by the e cunt me,
and like they're being all mean to me, like you know,
like that it feels kind of like that very sort
of elementary level of him of manipulate emotional manipulation.
Speaker 2 (59:02):
So I don't know, part of me watches it and
is like and the other part is like, I wonder
if also in his mind he also seems like the
type of person who thinks he can cry his way
out of a problem to someone when like the chips
are down, some part of me wants to be like, oh,
he's scared, But uh, I don't know what's that.
Speaker 3 (59:20):
I think it depends on like what is like, which
problem are we talking about that he's dealing with? Where
I really like that statement, Miles that you say, like
the mythos around him, like so much of that is
how he sells his companies, and a lot of it
is this guy's a gene It's like, this guy's a
fucking genius. He's a little weird, but the weirdness helps
(59:44):
convey how much of a quote unquote genius that he is.
And once you start hopping around on stage like wearing
weird outfits, like worshiping Hitler through Nazi salutes and now
like kind of fake crying on TV, it's like that's
not a person that his supporters or that like people
who have money and are investing their money into his
(01:00:06):
company want to invest money with. So it's like, Okay,
either he's fucking nuts, he's a he's like you know,
Trump's little lap dog, and or he is he cries
randomly and he's a he's a racist and Hitler worshiper.
These aren't good things to put money in, you know,
like even even now today in today's environment.
Speaker 1 (01:00:26):
Yeah, they do like predictability as you as you said earlier, and.
Speaker 2 (01:00:29):
This is that they did not.
Speaker 1 (01:00:32):
I'm sure he did not like pitch that two stake
shareholders and he's like, and then I'm going to go
out on the on the stage and do the wildest
doctor Strange love nazis a lute that you've ever seen.
And don't worry, I will do that.

just just fucking leave. It's one of your favorite guests.
(06:57):
On the other hand, he's the coiner of the phrase plumpers,
which is disgusting and should be prosecuted as a crime
against humanity. To describe his thighs, it's Blake wax Law.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Hi, everybody, this is Blake Jill Loftus westler a Ka.
Plump are my thighs. I ride recumbent bikes. Plump are
my thighs. Shorts are elastic without so much fabric that

the car Wolf, the car Wolf, goddamn car Wolf. That's right. Wow,
(07:36):
Hi guys, great to see you, say great to see you.
And on the truth set, the truth.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Of the situation is that carl shorts are elastic when
there's not much fabric. So, yeah, that's true where it's
never spoken.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
No, that's a great thing. Yeah, yeah, it's great to do.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
How are you doing.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
I'm doing good. I'm jealous of the meals that you've
been having. I find that salad pot pie. Yeah, your salad,
your New England salad pot pie. Yeah, it's the food
in Austin for some like there's a ton of good
food cities, but it is heavier in so many different ways,
where like a meat at night does sit heavier than
(08:19):
like if you go to New York late it had
slices of pizza, like you will feel so much worse,
like just silk, no soaking from the meat sweats. Yeah,
you do have to train your body, but I don't
know if that would ever even happen.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
No, beef Mayre's delight meat in mourning, I don't I
don't have anything and Miles. You know, you know the
famous thing, you just ate two sausage patties. Yeah, they're good.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
They thought you were getting one. Now elaborate on that.
So you thought you were getting one, and you believe
the second one came by way of complaints.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Every time I've had they would say, it's like a
double sausage patty. This just felt like some ship like
this was normal. They're like, yeah, bro, you had a
double two sausage patties in there.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
We started off double. Anyways, Blake, it's wonderful to have you.
We're going to get to know you a little bit better,
and I'm all we're going to tell the listeners a
couple of things we're talking about. We're gonna talk about
the line go down, market chaos, Uh is happening. The
mainstream media is paying attention two ways in which the
Trump administration baid. But that's because line go down, and
(09:30):
so we're going to talk about that and why it's
actually because he's good. The reason the economy is going
down is because he's good.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Ball. Yeah, mainly it's balls.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
And then we'll we'll talk about some mega people who
are facing repercussions, such as the woman who tipped her
waiter wrote out the word zero you suck, and then
some other horrible things and now has a gofund me
of being racism for finding out. Yeah, exactly my finding out.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
It's a wonderful tale.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
And also Elon Musk, I feel like is in the
finding out phase in a couple of ways.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
So we'll check in with him.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
And we'll look at some of these j D bands
memes that have taken the world the Internet by storm
and ask is there a deeper meaning here? All that
plenty more, But first, Blake, we do like to ask
our guest, what is something for your search history?
Speaker 3 (10:29):
Something for my search history? How to give a dog
a massage? I I was thinking recently where I'm like,
so you pet dogs, you cuddle dogs, But I'm like,
I bet they would want a massage too, especially as
they get older and like their joints get, you know,
start to hurt. And I googled how to give a
(10:50):
dog a massage? And the videos believe or not really
fucking weird. So I'm personally taking my foot off because
the reason that dogs up for it, Like, what the
oh my god, no, but I'm sure that exists.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
I want to think about.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
That's the natural. Next next they put on like the music,
and it was more like rubbing than like kneading, you know,
and I'm like, oh, I just want to give my
dog like a little bit of a you know, some
squeezes in the shoulders and the haunches and you know,
pat them on the head is kind of what I
was more looking for. But this was a whole, a
whole fucking thing. So I think there's different degrees.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Where'd you net out? Like, so, what kind of service
did you put? Yeah, reiki? It was.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
It was a combination between a reiki and like a
light tissue.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
I do that to my dog though, because I'm like, yeah,
come on, man, you you've had a heart. Like I
do the same thing mentally to my dog, thinking like yeah,
they'll like this, but I just kind of massage like
the neck because I'm like, well, they hold their necks
up all the time, so I just kind of like
just just work out those neck muscles and not in
a way where I'm like is the pressure good? More
just to be like here is soothing touch on your
(12:04):
neck muscles?
Speaker 1 (12:06):
YEA, yeah, I feel like I wanted to do that
to my dogs. And they just never fucked with it.
They just wanted like little scratches.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Oh they're doing just what this?
Speaker 3 (12:14):
Yeah, we all have our preferences as dogs. And speaking
of the reiki thing, my now wife and I were
like in Lake Arrowhead, which doesn't matter where we were,
but it was for Valentine's Day and then we were
like kind of hanging out after the dinner. So she
like checked her phone real quick to make sure our
dog was okay and had like a bunch of messages
(12:34):
and her wrote, our hour Rover wanted to give him
energy healing like from wow, like and she was like, oh, wait,
that won't hurt him, right, And then fifty minutes later
she just like, I'm like, you're worse than this lady is,
because like she's like, what tell us about his trauma
and like insinuating that there was trauma. She's like, he
(12:54):
can't be around skateboards. She may have been neutered like
two weeks two or or something, and I'm like, what
are you doing?
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Right? Yeah, it's a real people. Do your dog a scorpio? Actually?
Speaker 3 (13:06):
Yea, yeah, he's a scorpio for sure. Introduction of scorpio.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Oh my god, that dog is such a scorpio.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
If you like, I don't know what month that is,
I'm with you. I can't. I have no tolerance for it.
I hate the sky.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Anything, clouds, stars them all the sun, not Drune, not drun,
They're cool. Those Angel had a nice conversation with with
some people with a drone podcast that we might have
to have on this show.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
That'd be sick.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Yeah, just how to fly him showing some sick footage
that they caught. Damn you shot this in one take,
going through a sushi restaurant.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
That's sick. What is something flake you think is underrated?
Speaker 3 (13:57):
Underrated? Like this is actually a serious like listening to
your body and whether or not it needs to massage
a talk. No, it's like listening to your body where
if it's like, oh, if you're tired, if you're feeling exhausted,
or if you feel like you're getting sick, like take
a power Oh yeah, no, that's what I used to do.
(14:17):
And it's like, oh, it's weird that I've been sick
for four years. Maybe I should maybe take some time off.
But also like if you want to, like I don't know,
if you work out a lot and your like body
feels like shit. It's like, hey, like, don't don't do
that today. Maybe they can break out today. Yeah, maybe
don't work out today. And where did you do this?
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Little? Where'd you find this stuff out? Where'd you get
this wisdom?
Speaker 3 (14:36):
I got this wisdom from a scorpio actually that I
ran into on the string?
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Yeah, who asked me about my trauma?
Speaker 1 (14:43):
The subreddit for cucks who aren't on their grind set?
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Is that where you got it?
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Like?
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Frick? Are you?
Speaker 3 (14:50):
Where is this coming from?
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Why are you talking grinding?
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Bro? Are you you're trying to stay You're trying to
fuck with my bag by saying shit like this.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Okay, I'm just trying to help people relax and not
everybody's like you. Not everybody doesn't have an off switch.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Yo. You ever met my boy Blake, Dude, they call
him the pepper mill because you stay grinding.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
Oh I told you that in confidence, but that is true.
If we're going to stay it on air, they do
call me the pepper mill, although.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Pepper mills do take nice long breaks in between when
the people bring them out to put the pepper mil
on your what's yeah, what's that like for the pepper milk?
Where it's like and now what I'm no longer.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
I look at the fucking pepper mill and I get
so angry because that ship doesn't stay grinding?
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Just can I so fucking lazy dude.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
Does the wood on the pepper mill need to be
that nice?
Speaker 2 (15:45):
I mean it feels like that, like specific design, Yeah,
but like the kind of wood just reminds you of
like a like a chair leg at like an Italian
restaurant from the eighties.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Maybe that's where it started. Maybe we're chair leg Yeah,
they just bash the pepper corns with a chair leg.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Oh yeah, you want some pepper?
Speaker 3 (16:07):
This is any Yeah?
Speaker 2 (16:09):
You have you seen the.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Pepper mills that are like motor like they have a
motor yeah, yeah, with the battery that makes for no
reason as well automate that as much as anything else.
But it just makes me angry. I'm like, what the fuck?
Speaker 2 (16:24):
I don't know why. In my mind, I think it's
somehow less than than if I do it with my hands.
It's like my idea there. Yeah, I don't know. Maybe
maybe because it's like the same way like coffee people
use like the handmill versus like the electric one, because
it affects the flavor, but I doubt that's for me.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
I'm fine with the motorized coffee grinder, but the pepper
mill better be giving somebody a repetitive stress injury in
their wrist.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Because otherwise I'm not happy. It better be fucking two
feet long.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
That better be so long, man, better be better be
a pot possible murder weapon.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
Yeah, a literal.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
A shoulder mounted all right, Blake, what is something that
you think is overrated? Overrated? I'm gonna go with hardcovered
books or hardcover books. They're too big, they're hard to pack,
like into a bag, and they are dangerous where the
(17:29):
corners are so pointy, where if you aren't paying attention,
that could take an eye out, it could penetrate your skin,
Like no one knows what do you mean.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
I've always been like this, take an eye out? Were
you hardcover book?
Speaker 3 (17:54):
So yeah, I'm a team team paperback. And that is
a hashtag that is not catching on despite the amount
of money I've put into that.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
But do they still like?
Speaker 1 (18:05):
I feel like it's still the standard process to go
hardcover into paperback paperback, like and only if you succeed
do you get a paperback printed. If it's some shiit
nobody wants to read. They're just like, well, we're not
gonna we're not gonna follow through on that.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
And they're more expensive too.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
They're more expensive. They are way more dangerous. This is
like a take that a three year old would have,
like being like those things are dan, you know what
I mean, or like somebody year old, Yeah, yeah, no,
do you have a do you have like a child
around the house that recently or you're just you just
(18:47):
know not recently.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
They've thrown into a fifty year old.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Man, you know.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
It's it's funny. I was just reading this thing because
I was trying to get a book in paperback and
it just wasn't available for fucking ever. And like, I
don't want a fucking hardcover book. And there's this article
that just came out that it said more publishers are actually,
for quote, foregoing books second life in favor of sticking
to hardcover ebook and audiobook releases. So they're actually releasing
(19:15):
less paperbacks.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
Now it's fucked.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
Yeah, this is fucked.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
And the book jack, I don't like the jacket on
books either on hardcovers.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
What are you fucking cold?
Speaker 3 (19:26):
Yeah, that's what I said of the book.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Yeah, then I throw it in the fire.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
That's right, that's right. And then I open up a
window at a draft in see how it does. Doesn't
do good? Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
And also, you know, as we've talked about on the show,
the soft you know, paperbacks, if they're of a sufficient size,
can be used as a as a great way to
you know, hit somebody without bruising.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
Yeah, exactly. Nobody works with someone like grown somebody you're interrogating. Yeah,
body with their pants off and their ass in the air. Yeah,
face down, ass up.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
No, no, no, don't read that one. Don't read that's
all right, Blake, thank you so much, thank you, thank
you so much. We're gonna take a quick break. We'll
be right back to talk about some news. And we're back.
(20:36):
We're back, dude, We're back, dude.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
And you know, I'm always I've always got the stock
app up on my smart smartphone device and.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
Just Pokemon go dude. All right, So I have Pokemon
Go up. But like in many ways, Pokemon.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
Go, like can teach you a lot about the stock market,
but I just I just live and die with that
thing with the stymander. You know, I'm like everyone does,
how's that freaking Nasdac doing.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Dude. You know, it's fucking some p five hund Dude,
just focus on the p the pepper because it stays
grinding in the ess pepper five hundred. Is that what
it actually tell me that I'd be like standards and poor. Yeah,
it's up five hundred, but yeah, man, this the line
(21:26):
goeth downward. And you know, Trump continues to sort of
make good on his promise to make the country as
fucked up as possible, and he's had to deal with
not only outrage from his voters, but also the oligarch
homies and the hyper wealthy buddies because they do not
like when stonks go down and the Dow continues to
(21:46):
move in the wrong direction. And all Trump did on
Monday just to try and like fucking help out like
kind of steady things. Was he posted like over like
a hundred times in six hours on truth social just anything.
Did he really? Yeah, dude, it was fucking wild. It
was just ship like retweeting articles that were like Trump's
doing good, like just this weird thing.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
He's like, let me just tweet out all the the
first administration, having like a sense memory of like when
things start going bad. He just like starts retweeting things compulsively.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Yeah, it's yeah right. It's like basically if a restaurant
had like an account and they just started reposting their
five star reviews when they're in the middle of like
a racism controversy. They're like, but look at this one.
Linda from Mission Viejo loved the penne But anyway, so
now this is like become a huge thing with everyone
talking from Fox News to the Wall Street Journal being
(22:41):
like this is actually bad. Like I don't know what
the fuck's going on like this because so many of
these people are there's money, he's tied up in the
stock market. They're like, what the fuck is like now
we're getting touched? Now the fuck is going on?
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Now is the big you know, you don't see it
until it starts fucking touches money. Yeah, And then all
of a sudden, the media cli is like, wait a second,
this hold on, this seems bad.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
Yeah. The way I still stay wealthy is now being
is now in jeopardy because of this guy. And now
it's time for the media and Trump's lackey's to sort
of tell the people why the chaos is good. There's
one that I particularly sticks out to me, this guy
Rob Schmidt, who's on Newsmax and one of their stupidest
like and that's that's an achievement to be one of
(23:24):
their dumbest people on Newsmax. But yeah, this is he
tweeted this out just to try and tell people to
fucking chill the fuck out. Quote. Yeah, the TAO is plunging.
This is happening because we have a president with the
balls globalist economic agenda that's decimated American wages and quality
(23:45):
of life. This is the pain that comes from real change.
It's much easier to just pass the buck. So yeah,
Trump's balls are giving you pain. Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
It's good.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
They're two big miles. I've been saying that they're so big.
His smoke too, He smoked too tough.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
His ball's too big.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
I look, I don't give too much of a ship
when the stock market is doing well, because that money
is just getting funneled upward to corporations and like you know,
they use it to do stock buybacks. But when the
economy takes an absolute shit like, that's when trickle down
economics actually becomes a thing.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
That's what it is.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
That.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Yeah, that trickles down on all of us. And when
the stock market costs down, Yeah, corporations are suddenly like, yeah,
we've got we're facing headwinds. We've got to start firing
people when it goes up. Yeah, they just keep that
money for themselves. So it's a real win win for
like five people and lose lose for everyone else. But
it's also a little thrilling when this happens, because it
(24:47):
does seem to be the only thing that matters to
this country in terms of who gets to wheel power
is right when the stock fuck the money up, Yeah,
don't fuck the money like that, keep the stock on
the rails so that the wealthy people and the wealthy
corporations that drive everything forward. I wouldn't say progress, but
(25:09):
like everything else, like keep the wheels of power emotion,
like all that needs the money to go forward. But
like the Democratic Party only really exists because they cater
to keeping that whole, like the you know, the capital
e economy. That's what like they sacrificed, Like that's what
Obama sacrificed the hope and change message for when he
(25:31):
like bailed out the Wall Street banks. It's you know
why Bernie was not allowed to win against Hillary, and
then I think like internalized Wall Street journal op eds
caused Democratic voters to think Biden was the only real
option in twenty twenty. But it also feels like the
thing that could be the Jenga block that could cause
(25:51):
the second administration to really fall apart, you know, like
Trump so Trump like there there definitely seems to be
like more pop culture support.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
For Trump this time around.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
I just found out Tiger Woods like openly endorses Donald Trumps.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Trump said he was the Tiger Woods of presidents during that.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
Stupid there's all sorts of rappers who are endorsing him
in a way that I find troubling. The real buy
in that's important, though, that he had the first time
around that he might stop having this time is Wall
Street and the massive corporations like and you know, all
(26:34):
of his like radical We do things a little different
around here. We serve things top us style. We we
cut all government programs and policies. If that fucks up
the money of Wall Street and like the big E economy.
I do feel like that's a thing that might make
this second administration like a little bit interesting. Yeah, it might,
(26:58):
It might start to the deep state, might start really
deep stating on his ass in a way that might
make things pretty difficult for him. Otherwise, he's just going
to keep you know, he'll be fine.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
And these corporations and big money people, they love predictability.
They like to be able to predict how much money
is going to come in. And when you have a
guy making decisions even though his balls are so fucking big, it's.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
One thing they didn't take into a camp lake.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
As they all backed as they were like, I don't know, man, like,
let's just go full Trump.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
Let's a ball that is surge the nas sack.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Oh man, Yeah, yes, so one thing we do know
about Trump ginormous sacking balls tiny.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
Little bit tiny, But who needs one?
Speaker 2 (27:55):
We love We love potatoes around here, don't we.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
That's right?
Speaker 2 (27:58):
But yeah, I feel like it's it might just go
in a different direction for him now. Well it's I
mean it's clear anytime keeps up, anytime someone comes in
and disrupts the economy or like at least the status
quo or talks about it, it uses the forces tend
to sort of circle around to try and like purge
(28:19):
it from the system. But I think in this time,
because Trump comes in with such pro business speak, they're
just having trouble wrapping their head around the fact that
this guy is also absolutely rocking the boat, like in
the most fucked up way, and they're like, wait, what
wait where all of our capital protecting instincts now or
have they gone out the window as they try and
because now it's just turning into like begging on Fox News,
(28:42):
where people are like, I would tell them, at President,
you know, if this is a sales pitch, maybe we
need to tweak the sales pitch a little bit and
really get people to understand sort of how we look
at this long term. And you know, I don't know
how people like they're supposed to look at that last
tweet and be like, yeah, my entire my whole retire
might be in jeopardy because he has elephantiasis day. What
(29:05):
is it? The balls and the balls? The thing is,
this guy is destroying the economy intentionally, and I know
many people are just like, well, he's just dumb. He
doesn't He's like he's dumb and doing it on purpose.
That's why it looks so fucking ridiculous, because his way
of doing it is so absurd. And he talks tough
on tariffs and walks it back so then and then
threatens them again and again, like you're saying, Blake, it's
(29:27):
that unpredictability that sends the markets in the direction that
it is. And then while people are fearing like a
full blown recession, Trump only worsens the problem when he
gives answers like this. A lot of people were sharing
this clip of him talking to Maria Bartiromo where she's
just like this whole interview was meant to like calm
the market and be like I'm gonna throw you soft balls,
(29:49):
like saying, you know, do you expect a recession? And
then you just say no, You say, this is I'm
very confident in what's gonna happen. But this is how
this fucking question was handled. When Marie asked the dear leader,
because there are rising worries about a slowdown, You've got
the Atlanta Federal Reserve say we're going to have a
contraction in the first quarter. Look, I know that you
(30:09):
inherited a mess and you say, I don't have been here.
Are you expecting a reception this year? I hate to
predict things like that.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
There is a period of transition, because what we're doing
is very big.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
We're bringing wealth back to America.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
Okay, can you answer the recession?
Speaker 2 (30:30):
What about?
Speaker 1 (30:32):
I hate to use words like recession. I hate to
predict anything.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
The best it was like and you inherited a mess
that been two weeks hours, two weeks. I don't have
been here, expect I been here for like, yeah, so
this is it's getting bad. And again the like Wall
Street Journal has op eds now that essentially, like the
distillation of the op eds are like, please stop, motherfucker O.
(30:58):
Precious stunks and economy are shiitting the bed. And meanwhile,
Gavin Newsom's new bestie Charlie Kirk is telling his years
that they need He said, they need to shut up
about egg prices just analogies what they do, Like, just
shut up about the thing that I was telling you
that he's going to make better. And he also told
us he's going to make just shut up about it now,
(31:19):
okay gas some Newsom? Yeah, yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
It'll be interesting to see where this goes if he
if he's able to.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
The one thing that like keeps me from thinking this
is going to continue to fall apart is that I
feel like a lot of the like stock market and
just like market economy in general to this point has
been like that they can just kind of will themselves
(31:48):
to stay, you know, like they can like during the pandemic,
they were just like, I don't know what, We'll be fine,
like just pretend like.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
Shit is good. We'll raise prices. We'll just yeah, we'll
raise crisis and we'll scam peep lands, push push the
pain downwards.
Speaker 3 (32:03):
Yeah, this was a scary thing about him too, is
that I'm trying to find a silver lining in a
sack of shit, but like he in a big bald.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
Sec of shit.
Speaker 3 (32:13):
But he does. He's like the thing that was such
a like a scary word in politics which is now
probably like fifteen twenty years ago, is he just couldn't
care less. Where the guy doesn't say anything that he
actually believes in or thinks is true. So he will
pause tariffs, he'll take the tariffs away, he'll put the
terriffs back, and they'll be like, hey, remember when you
(32:35):
tried to pick tariffs and it was destroying the economy,
Like I don't we like, let's not talk about egg prices.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
Will talk up about it prices it is you just
pull this.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
Yeah, it is nice to see them going through the
exact same thing that Democrats were going through, where it
was why doesn't everybody shut the fuck up about all
the ways we're doing a bad job? Yeah, that's just
the job of the party when they're in hour is
like telling their supporters stop protesting guys.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
Yeah, yeah, just everybody, wait shop, why are you pointing
out all the fucking inconsistencies and what we campaigned on
and what we're delivering. This is like hater ration in
the nation in this dancery the ration. Yeah, so that's
kind of ties directly Blake what you were talking about about.
Just the fact that they say whatever is whatever benefits
(33:27):
them in the moment is my theory on the jd
Vance memes. So our writer Jam was wondering if there's
a deeper truth behind these jd vance memes that from Wired,
who's the where's that quote from the deeper meaning thing?
The deeper meaning or no deeper true? Oh, giz Moto
it was the gizmo article.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
Yeah, so Gizmoto wrote an article that was arguing that
it's these memes are apparently popular across both the left
and the right.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
The right is also meming him. You've seen those, right,
Blake the like toddler face JD Van's me. Yeah, yeah,
well they're they're everywhere. Yeah, it's like the new currency
of the Internet.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
It was after the Ukraine meeting, right that. Yeah, so yeah,
like quick background on it. If you're on the internet,
you're seeing his bulbous face staring back at you. It
took off after the the Linsky meeting, which this one
is still my favorite. Like they just took the picture
of him saying like you got to say please and
(34:35):
thank you missus Winsky and just like gave him the
biggest cheeks and he just looks like a big baby
and it's really well executed. And then people from there,
I mean people have been doing that for a little while,
like turning into a cabbage patch doll, but that it
really took off, and now it's like all anybody's doing.
Speaker 3 (34:55):
I don't know what he actually looks like anymore.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
Yeah, there's the overly patriotic Minion is one that I've
seen Baron Harkonen from Dune, although yeah.
Speaker 2 (35:09):
He looks a little kind of shredded in that one.
I feel like he looks like Alex Jones, like in
that one where he's kind of emerging emerging from the
and head.
Speaker 1 (35:20):
Yeah, the his they swapped out his head for the
nuclear explosion from the original Akira manga.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
Hell yeah, that's.
Speaker 1 (35:27):
All great stuff. Although it should be noted that the
photoshopping of JD. Vance began on the Republican side when
Congressman Mike Collins, as our friend of the show former
guest kat Abou put it, Mike Collins yaified Vance's portrait.
Do you guys remember this, like where there is a
(35:48):
portrait of him and they just like made him look
like a chat They.
Speaker 2 (35:54):
Just turned him into it. Yeah, it was like it
was like it's like ozembic mixed with some botox and
filler basically yeah, yeah and human. Yeah, they just made
him w yeah.
Speaker 1 (36:06):
Just stud instead of around face baby.
Speaker 2 (36:09):
And so they they.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
Threw the first stone in this battle. But now, like
even Fox News is reporting on the liberal trolls sharing
the memes and like it's just a great screen cap.
Speaker 2 (36:25):
It's wild to have that chiron and like run this
image or says liberal trolls share wild memes of JD.
Vans and then just show all these brutal memes like yeah,
why even I think that's where it's there, is like
this weird appeal even to Republicans, where normally like sure,
there's always like they'll do the thing, like you know,
(36:46):
I remember there was a plenty of outrage reporting on
like the shitty memes people would would post of like
the Obamas or Biden or whatever. But like in this version,
like it feels like they're trying to also be like,
look what they're fucking doing to us, but also like
they're showing so many that I'm sure people are just like, yeah,
that's kind of funny. Though. That looks about right. And
when you consider the fact that Republicans are also sharing
(37:08):
this too, and again.
Speaker 1 (37:10):
Sees like everybody, Yeah, there's a Yahoo article that says
but they're equally if not more popular on the right,
explicitly pro Trump accounts on x that otherwise spend their
time bashing liberals are posting embarrassing memes of their party
second in command. I feel it does feel like the
catch fucking all over again. I do want to note
he tried to get in on the joke. He posted
(37:32):
a meme of himself as Leonardo DiCaprio in Once Upon
a Time in Hollywood, like pointing at the TV. But
he of course just combined his face with Leonardo DiCaprio,
so he like looked handsomer than he actually is. So
he's not not really ready to laugh at himself so
much as just once is like, hey, guys, I can
(37:54):
so handsome.
Speaker 2 (37:55):
I am kind of but yeah.
Speaker 1 (37:57):
So Gizmoto's argument is that, like the you know, the
popularity of these is evidence that there's something uniquely alien
and awful about him, and that the distorted version of
his face actually speaks to a deeper truth. And I
think there's something true there, Like I think, like i'd
say there's something like unacknowledged in his persona, in particular
(38:22):
that he went from being like this liberal darling on
MSNBC too, like people were like calling him like a
hope for like defeating Trump, like on the on the
Republican side, to like being business nazi and the vice
president in the space of like a few years. And
I feel like, you know, it's boring to say, like
(38:42):
these guys are empty suits, you don't believe in anything,
but there is something existentially terrifying about the fact that
the way you get ahead in this current version of
our society is to be completely devoid of belief and
just like yeah, just be willing to have meaning and
(39:03):
belief projected onto you and be completely otherwise empty and
not believe in anything. It's just like this like complete
nihilism that he represents and the fact that he's just
this completely malleable asshole who like succeeds in like going
from one extreme to another at a time when you know,
(39:23):
people like this is these belief systems are like, you know,
liberal versus mega people are like we're about to have
a civil war over this, and then you have this
guy who just like fits in on both sides. I
feel like there's like something existentially terrifying about that. And
so to attack that malleability by making up memes about
(39:44):
him fucking couches that just seem true immediately, or like
bending his face in ways that also seem true like that,
it's like kind of attacking him at his using his
superpower against him. You know, It's it's true that like
I can't picture what he looks like now because I've
(40:04):
seen so many and it like I don't know that
that would be true of other people necessarily, but because
he just there's something he's just a complete fucking cipher.
Speaker 2 (40:16):
Yeah, it's because he's liked to your point, because he's
so amorphous ye to be able to ascend and to
like fit in whatever space he needs to to curry
favor or gain power. It's like, yeah, that same amorphousness
lends itself to be like, oh, well you now you
can actually be anything we say you are. Yeah, like
and sort of it like like that's the subtext. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (40:38):
Yeah, it's like with spies, like in movies where they're
like the perfect spy, someone who's not memorable, you know,
and it's like, oh, he is the least memorable person,
like from Ohio, you know, like it's if it wasn't
for his eyelashes, you know, like, yeah, you would be beautiful.
Speaker 2 (40:54):
Like the yeah, and he is. He kind of looks
like he kind of looks like one of the dudes
who would have who pulled up with Zod in Superman.
Speaker 1 (41:01):
He does look like one of the dudes who you
know what I mean because.
Speaker 2 (41:04):
They also have like kind of the beard with like
the smoky eyeliner vibe, and I'm like, yeah, he was
creating you were kicking it with odd bro. You were
at that one bearded homie?
Speaker 3 (41:14):
Yeah, what was your name?
Speaker 2 (41:17):
God, what was your name? That wasn't me. I'm sorry,
I'm just just here to install your cable. Anyways, let's uh,
let's take a quick break and we'll be right.
Speaker 3 (41:39):
And we're back.
Speaker 1 (41:40):
And we started to see I guess the theme of
that that well, I guess the theme of this episode
besides that is is consequence maybe for some shady people.
So we're gonna talk about two people. One is a
woman in Ohio who had a very specific message for
(42:01):
her server, yes, at a restaurant, and one of them
is Elon Musk. Yeah, but let's start with the woman.
Speaker 2 (42:07):
Yeah, I mean, this woman used the medium where all
very brave racists go to do battle with people, is
to write passive, aggressive messages on fucking receipts to servers.
And there's just so many of these fucking like maga
fuck around find out stories like that I see on
the internet and like their entire youth. There's like an
(42:29):
entire YouTube genre of this kind of video where it's
dedicated to this kind of content because and I'm well
aware that this serves mostly as copium in this time
of great distress, but there are some stories that involve
just some of the dumbest, hateful people. It's kind of
hard to ignore it. So this woman in Ohio wrote
down on a receipt after an interaction with a server
at a Mexican restaurant, tip zero you suck, then the total,
(42:53):
and then the signature was I hope Trump deports you.
And she leaves that they're you know, and like the
crap out her name. She crossed out her name on
the merchant on her version. But you know, if you've
been there, you usually get two copies for receipts, So
she didn't take that. Her name's emblazoned on it. The
server posts it. But wait, what did the server do
(43:14):
to start off with? He told he informed this woman
that the restaurant had a one coupon per table policy,
and this lady, I guess fucking lost it because she
thought this was extreme couponing or some shit and was
trying to like double and triple up on the coupons.
He's like, not only one coup per tape, Okay, that's
the feeling.
Speaker 3 (43:32):
She wasn't trying to use two either, I don't think right.
Speaker 2 (43:37):
Yeah, she was trying to do that shit, like when
I used to go to bathroom bed Bathroom beyond with
that twenty percent off, and like I had a homie
who thought you could bring five in and it was
one hundred percent off.
Speaker 1 (43:45):
All right, So this one says twenty dollars off, this
one says twenty dollars off. This one's twenty percent off.
So it's actually it ends up at seven dollars that
I vie for that.
Speaker 2 (43:54):
I don't know if you just even read the fine print. Yeah,
only one can be used per transaction. It's not how
math works. So but I just do the math. Five
times twenty is one hundred. One hundred percent means the
one hundred per that I can take off with these
seven hundred towels I bought anyway, So the fucking receipt
was blake.
Speaker 3 (44:12):
You seem like you have a question, sir. I just
got really upset. Another thing, I mean, the whole thing's upsetting.
But like the way she wrote out the total as
if it was a check.
Speaker 2 (44:24):
Yah, know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (44:25):
Eighty seven dollars in writing and and then eighty four
over one hundred because she trust that this person wasn't
going to.
Speaker 2 (44:33):
Like a, I don't know, yeah, add numbers to the end,
so or yeah, or she's one of those people who
is perpetually paranoid about something she read on Facebook about
how you need to also write in text because the
greedy poor people that serve you the food you fucking
eat to live cannot will change the numbers.
Speaker 3 (44:52):
Yeah, and your bank wouldn't flag in eighty seven.
Speaker 2 (44:56):
Forty forty dollars?
Speaker 1 (44:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (44:58):
Yeah, what it says here that you forty dollars A yeah.
Once this receipt, Once this literal receipt was posted online,
this woman fucking scrambled to defend herself. This is so fun,
her first instinct. So she goes, this is what she
(45:19):
posted on her Facebook. My credit card was lost slash
stolen and someone attempted to use it. Thanks for the notifications,
she said about this receipt. This has been reported.
Speaker 1 (45:29):
First of all, I just want to say thank you.
I'm grateful to this to this waiter.
Speaker 2 (45:34):
Actually exactly, this has been reported through my bank and
then on her link that was on Facebook, then on
her LinkedIn because everybody was just fucking giving it to her.
Thank you for all the recent notifications of scammers and
profile hackers. I recently discovered a lost slash, missing credit
card and an attempted you slash purchase. I appreciate your
patience while I managed the situation. Oh okay, so she's
(45:56):
doing that. I was hacked by my own races some defense.
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, okay, that's cool, that's cool.
And this is the other thing. So she said she
she was hacked, right. The problem is, lady, they have
you in fucking four K on security cameras in the restaurant, assholes,
so you can't even do You're not even get away
(46:17):
with that.
Speaker 1 (46:17):
Nice to see the surveillance state work against racism for
yah first time.
Speaker 2 (46:23):
Yeah, got when I'm now this moment where I'm seeing
a racist incident happened on security camera footage. It's not
something involving the police. It's just some racist cell phone
at a restaurant. Predictably, she was fired from her real
estate gig, since you know most most I'm gonna say close,
that's not that predictable anymore.
Speaker 1 (46:45):
I was. I was actually pleasantly surprised to hear that
she was. That's saying she was a real estate agent.
Yeah yeah, let me let me guess the people. She
was not showing homes through ever, But it's made like
generally in the old in the days of in the
old days, in the olden times. You know, most revenue
(47:06):
generating enterprises know that racism can only get you so
many customers. But again, so then what happened was people
rallied around the server started to go fund me to
support him and be like, let's show him how grateful
we are.
Speaker 2 (47:18):
He got a little bit of money. And then, you know,
which makes sense, especially in a climate right now where
people are just cravingly using threats of calling ice or
deport like deportation as a way to terrorize a person.
It's like, yeah, what the fuck, what are you doing
with these people? Then this racist woman decided to do
a copycat move and start her own gofund me, which
(47:39):
was you think he should get a go fund me.
I'll show you this is mine. This is quote. Here's
is called Stephanie's Path to Accountability, Reformation and second chance. Wow,
this is this is what she wrote in the body
of her fucking go fundme. Stephanie Lovin's deeply regrets a
mistake she made that has had serious consequences on her
(48:00):
life in a moment she.
Speaker 1 (48:02):
Can talk about it in the third person. Who did
who in this writing? Does she expect us to believe
his writing? This? I know?
Speaker 2 (48:11):
I mean, it feels like she's gonna end it. Signed
is sincerely Stephanie Levin's. But it is in a moment
of frustration, she wrote something offensive on a restaurant receipt
that she now realizes was hurtful and wrong. Since then,
she has faced intense backlash, lost her job and real
estate license, and had to move herself from social and
(48:32):
remove herself from social media due to embarrassment and harassment.
The two great ments of art.
Speaker 1 (48:38):
He just didn't realize it, Miles. She didn't realize it
was hurtful and wrong at the time. Now she has learned,
and this is new information for her. I'm sorry this
is It's not fair that everybody is ganging up on
her when she just didn't know you couldn't do that.
Speaker 2 (48:54):
Yeah, the old, the old Chappelle joke of white privilege
of saying, oh, I'm sorry, officer right, didn't know I
couldn't do that.
Speaker 1 (49:01):
Uh, to try and get out and get pulled over
with a white friend of the white friends seeding with
the cop. I'm sorry, I didn't know. I couldn't do that,
and the cops like, all right, I'll let you off
with a warning, so good.
Speaker 2 (49:16):
Yeah, I'm just I didn't know. And now I have
to get rid of my social media because it's so
fucking bad. I'm honestly just get fucked. Like. This is
the thing that these hateful people really need to understand.
They clearly operate in a world where empathy is bad.
That's why they're like the whole fuck your feelings type
people so hate naturally seems like a normal thing to
engage in. The other side of that coin, is Stephanie
(49:38):
Lovin's is that you also, with that kind of energy,
you create a world in which no one will fucking
help your dumbass out either, because fuck caring about other people. Right,
So you have to understand ideologically, if that's full steam,
if that's like the that's that's the world you want
to live in, because if it's not, if it's everybody else,
no one is gonna come to your defense. That's why
(50:01):
there's clearly this battle right now for over empathy and
how the right is trying to kill empathy to try
and get away with all this fucked up, inhumane shit
they do to people, and this is the thing. We
have to maintain that because just a world that's worth
living in is one where you, when you need help,
people just don't go, oh fuck you, get the fuck
out of here.
Speaker 3 (50:20):
You know you.
Speaker 2 (50:21):
It's and it's not a utopia. It's just the idea
that we care about each other. And that's just the
most basic shit. But again, you wrote this on your seat.
You're a tough guy, and I bet you walked out
of Anger Management and I'll be seeing you shortly.
Speaker 1 (50:35):
Hate to see that her GoFundMe has since been removed,
because I actually honestly believe the worst about America that
like this could become a cause celeb among the right
and get her funded.
Speaker 2 (50:49):
But on the other hand, I don't know. I mean,
there's too many of them right now. I mean, yeah,
there's so many people, especially since Trump got elected, that
are doing just wild shit doing and hitler salutes and
then crying about it or fucking screaming shit and like
and then getting like when they get in trouble.
Speaker 3 (51:06):
They're like, I'm sorry, I thought that was what's going on.
Speaker 2 (51:09):
It's like, no, that could he does that because he
lives in a world of different consequences. You live down
here with the fucking rest of us. So we're already
like this shit.
Speaker 1 (51:19):
Yeah, we're about just talking about Elon Musk facing consequences,
which he has slightly, and that he lost like a
hundred million dollars of his like one hundred two billion
or one hundred billion dollars of his like five hundred
billion fortune. That is, like, you know, historically the most
money anyone's ever had in the history of the world.
Like when people are talking about him facing consequences and
(51:43):
Tesla's stock crumbling, to your point, Miles, like the Nazi
salute is a big deal. I feel like it's getting
written at like when people, like when the mainstream media
is covering it, they keep being like and people who
object to his dose policy and like his dough shit,
It's like, no, he is the CEO of a major
(52:04):
company that relies on people thinking that company is cool,
and he did a cartoonish like obvious like like just
couldn't control his body. He was doing a Nazi salute
so hard on inauguration Day in front of the whole
fucking world. Yeah like that, Yeah, that feels like the
(52:25):
big thing that people are probably like, I don't want
to drive a Tesla anymore? Are you fucking kidding me?
What are you talking about? Why would I ever drive
a Tesla now? But like that's not being that's not
how it's being discussed. People are like, yeah, he's been
a controversial figure with he with this doge, with.
Speaker 2 (52:42):
His leadership style.
Speaker 3 (52:43):
Yeah yeah, Like, and he's synonymous with that company, like
everyone like he's Tesla is elon Ewon is Tesla. It's
not like one of these like sock companies that Mark
Cuban owns or it's like, you know, Mark Cuban owns
this fucking sock company. It's like, yeah, I didn't know that.
I guess I'll buy these. But it's he is Tesla's,
So everything that he does directly impacts that stupid fucking company.
Speaker 1 (53:08):
Ye.
Speaker 2 (53:08):
Yeah, and that's like the thing that gets him, Like,
you know, so much of his wealth is built on that,
and so much of his the fucking mythos around him
as a person is built around how as Tesla's Like,
you know, the reason why it overperforms as a stock
too is because he's also convinced people when he was
like this isn't even like a fucking car company, dude,
(53:29):
This is like a future AI fully animated world company
that you want to get in now when we literally
run everything. And that's how he's hoping to like resurrect
this stock, because the whole thing is once he fucking
takes a few l's, then he has to come out
with some new weird thing and promise people the future
and say it actually wasn't about any of the things
that I promised before. It's about this new thing and
(53:50):
get people more invested. But yeah, now it's just at
that point where his actions the fucking the amount of
like nazis he like posts that he'll like retweet and
like it's just not it's just not even fucking like
there's really no deniability around it anymore. But yeah, it
is true. Like even in one Rolling Stone article, like
(54:10):
they at least they mentioned it and they did like
the sort of charitable thing is like and also doing
a salute which many interpreted to be a Hitler salute. Interesting,
but like just say that's what it was. And I
get that they want to be like, well he said
it wasn't so just.
Speaker 1 (54:25):
To be fair people, so especially like big companies like
Rolling Stones, so like they probably their legal team of course,
that sh it's just getting you know, lawyered, lawyered down
as much as possible.
Speaker 2 (54:38):
But well, he allegedly did something that he was showing
that he's really into the Third Reich. This is what
I'll say, That's one way to put it. But this
is him now talking on Fox because all the all
of the fucking you know, headlines have been about like,
holy shit, he lost all this money. All the stocks
are going down. This guy is also part of the
(54:59):
whole fucking know problem with the unpredictability of the economy.
And also, you know, as we talked about in the
episode that came out yesterday, was all the shit with
people fucking attacking stores, protesting at stores, you know, vandalizing
Tesla's just like just overall people are just like, bro,
it's toxic to fucking drive one for the amount of
thumbs downs and middle fingers I get. So this is
(55:22):
him on Larry Kudlow's show, where he's being asked like
damn man, you're fucking you're really taking a ton on
by by standing.
Speaker 1 (55:30):
Looks like he got like a glow up, like he
got a haircut, and definitely got a facial or something
for this, and like got styled a little bit because
he's not wearing his standard T shirt, black blazer. I
think he has a little bit more. No, it's going
on because they're like, we need to do something you.
You are fucking hemorrhaging Q points right now, right exactly.
(55:52):
Please don't show up to this interview looking like Captain Ketamine.
Speaker 2 (55:55):
Okay, thank you. Let's fucking act like the CEO.
Speaker 3 (55:58):
So this meant qanonots and I'm like, I think he's
getting a lot of Yeah, he's getting a lot of.
Speaker 2 (56:03):
Q points with QAnon, but not well, what's the cure?
Speaker 1 (56:07):
Is that what it's called the Q raid? I think
it was like Michael Jordan is the you are still
the most popular one, like fifty years later. Yeah, all right,
here's Elon. Let's see what let's see because maybe this
is the interview where like he is sober for the
first time in eighty days and it's like, oh fuck, yeah.
Speaker 2 (56:29):
He's actually he's not talking completely all over the but
but anyway, this is him being asked directly, dude, what's
it like everyone hating you dad just for being a
good guy? Call the action you're feeling you're hearing a
call to action.
Speaker 1 (56:42):
Yeah, you're giving up your other stuff. I mean what
you how are you running your.
Speaker 2 (56:47):
Other businesses with great difficulty? Yeah, I mean but there's
no turning back. You're saying, there's no turning back. Don't
feel the silence.
Speaker 1 (57:03):
I here trying to make government more efficient, eliminate wats
and forward, and.
Speaker 2 (57:11):
So far we're making good progress.
Speaker 1 (57:14):
There's one breath in there that I worry that I
talked over, but it sounded like a little shaky, you know, like, oh, yeah,
which one the first one where his eyebrow goes up? No, no, No,
it was the second one right before he like went
into his answer where it felt like a little bit
like yeah.
Speaker 2 (57:30):
I think after he goes there's no I think it's
when Larry Cudler said so there's no turning back. I
think he's like, yeah, made right. Damn, Larry, don't have
to say it like that. Yeah, I mean that one.
But there's no turning back. You're saying, yeah, I'm just there.
There there is.
Speaker 1 (57:51):
It's the exhale is is quivering, boy, Yeah, he's fucking quivering.
Speaker 3 (57:57):
Ring.
Speaker 1 (57:58):
This is the thing, like I mean, sorry, sorry, just
quickly because he's so weird. I could see it also
being also like he's quivering from horniness because he like
this is what he gets off on, is just people
people buying into like the idea that he's fucked and
actually he's just I think he's still going to be
fine because he's just fucking sabotaged the government specifically in
(58:20):
a way to like benefit him financially. But yeah, either
he's incredibly horny or he's on the verge of bursting
into tears.
Speaker 2 (58:29):
I mean, yeah, one way to look at that is like, dude,
this guy's about to fucking break down because he's completely
fucked over his like financial empire or whatever. But then
the other part is too this also feels like fuck
boy tears, where you try to cry to try and
get people to like forget that you're all the fuck
shit that you've.
Speaker 4 (58:48):
Done and I'm just I'm just trying to be I'm
just trying to do good by the e cunt me,
and like they're being all mean to me, like you know,
like that it feels kind of like that very sort
of elementary level of him of manipulate emotional manipulation.
Speaker 2 (59:02):
So I don't know, part of me watches it and
is like and the other part is like, I wonder
if also in his mind he also seems like the
type of person who thinks he can cry his way
out of a problem to someone when like the chips
are down, some part of me wants to be like, oh,
he's scared, But uh, I don't know what's that.
Speaker 3 (59:20):
I think it depends on like what is like, which
problem are we talking about that he's dealing with? Where
I really like that statement, Miles that you say, like
the mythos around him, like so much of that is
how he sells his companies, and a lot of it
is this guy's a gene It's like, this guy's a
fucking genius. He's a little weird, but the weirdness helps
(59:44):
convey how much of a quote unquote genius that he is.
And once you start hopping around on stage like wearing
weird outfits, like worshiping Hitler through Nazi salutes and now
like kind of fake crying on TV, it's like that's
not a person that his supporters or that like people
who have money and are investing their money into his
(01:00:06):
company want to invest money with. So it's like, Okay,
either he's fucking nuts, he's a he's like you know,
Trump's little lap dog, and or he is he cries
randomly and he's a he's a racist and Hitler worshiper.
These aren't good things to put money in, you know,
like even even now today in today's environment.
Speaker 1 (01:00:26):
Yeah, they do like predictability as you as you said earlier, and.
Speaker 2 (01:00:29):
This is that they did not.
Speaker 1 (01:00:32):
I'm sure he did not like pitch that two stake
shareholders and he's like, and then I'm going to go
out on the on the stage and do the wildest
doctor Strange love nazis a lute that you've ever seen.
And don't worry, I will do that.
Speaker 3 (01:00:45):
I will do it.
Speaker 1 (01:00:47):
Yeah, get people talking Blake Wexler as always, what a
pleasure having you on the data, Like, guys, where can
people find you?
Speaker 2 (01:00:55):
Follow you all that good stuff?

This is Gavin Newsom
I’m Gavin Newsom. And, it’s time to have a conversation. It’s time to have honest discussions with people that agree AND disagree with us. It's time to answer the hard questions and be open to criticism, and debate without demeaning or dehumanizing one other. I will be doing just that on my new podcast – inviting people on who I deeply disagree with to talk about the most pressing issues of the day and inviting listeners from around the country to join the conversation. THIS is Gavin Newsom.
