Thank you guys so much for doing it.

Speaker 1 (00:09):
We're so excited. Holley and I match backgrounds on purpose.
Mm hmm. We wanted to be middle aged grade again, millennial,
millennial gray together.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
Everything's like they're like, you do the millennial, I know,
pause before speaking. I'm like, that's everybody, isn't it.

Speaker 1 (00:33):
Yeah, I don't think that that's anything or the gen
z stare. I'm like, I don't think that's a thing.
I'm going to give myself a better background.

Speaker 2 (00:40):
WHOA, look at that?

Speaker 1 (00:42):
Wait, that's better? Are you looking at it? I'm sure
I need a better background.

Speaker 3 (00:46):
Oh oh, how do you feel about this, Katie? The
matching background, it's changing.

Speaker 1 (00:51):
What do we I feel betrayed? I feel so now
she's got a millennial mauve situation happening, and I don't.

Speaker 3 (00:58):
Whatever it is, it's fucking millennial.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
I'll tell you what.

Speaker 1 (01:03):
The millennial urge to change backgrounds. I'm under such bad light.

Speaker 4 (01:09):
I figured I'm under such bad lighting, I might as
well give myself a pop.

Speaker 1 (01:13):
Well, I'm furious.

Speaker 2 (01:14):
It looks great. It does look good.

Speaker 1 (01:16):
It really does look good.

Speaker 2 (01:17):
That's better. I don't know if I can continue. This
podcast is so good. Hello the Internet, and welcome to
season four thirty six, episode five of Tornally's Guys. This

(01:38):

It was right on time.

Speaker 3 (01:44):
This is the podca some of the poison.

Speaker 2 (01:47):
Okay, oh no, got in there accidentally gave yourself a
little bit.

Speaker 4 (01:52):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:52):
This podcast where you taken deep to avenue America's share
consciousness through the day's news. We also have a new
non news history version of TDZ dropping each Monday morning,
where we do a deep dive into the zeicase through
the lens of a different icon. Last week we did
Carrie Fisher. Ever heard of her, Princess Leah, America's greatest

(02:13):
skit script doctor in the nineties. You can thank her
for Sister Act. The good parts of Hook.

Speaker 3 (02:22):
There were no bad parts. I'm sorry.

Speaker 2 (02:25):
Yeah, well, you know, opinions may vary, but if you
liked it, she rewrote tinker Bell to give us the
tinker Bell we all know them, love many other the
wedding singer. Anyways, those episodes drop on Monday. It's not
this episode, but you can go check those out right now.
Where we are it is Friday, May first twenty twenty sixth,

(02:46):
twenty twenty sixth, what is happening? Let's take it pot down,
down down, take it from the not doing it lot.
Still one of my favorite flipouts of all time. My
name is Jack O'Brien aka reading ads for the Spam.

(03:07):
I feel the tremble in my past Big Dog getting
hung Gray and that one courtesy a First Blood five
twenty two. On the discord in reference to our uncomfortably
horny spam ad, everybody was like, wait, why we did it?
We did a spam ad, totally forgot about it, didn't
think we were being abnormally horny. And then that started

(03:29):
running and everyone was like, what could you? Could you
fucking stop what? He sounds so horny for the spam?
I don't know. It was just something that was coming
through my body.

Speaker 3 (03:41):
At the time he fall the spam that's right.

Speaker 2 (03:45):
Anyways, I'm thrilled to be joined in our second seat
by a hilarious stand up comedian, writer, actor, improviser. You
can see her at the Netflix is a Joke Comedy Festival.
I think people, I think Netflix needs to be nicer
to itself. Don't talk about my friend that way. Netflix
one of our favorite and most common podcast guest co

(04:06):
hosts because she's not above poisoning Miles. It's polonium poly.

Speaker 3 (04:13):
Don't stop news and hold on to that podcast Zide
Gang people.

Speaker 2 (04:24):
Wow, aggressive, I love it, nailed it, Like.

Speaker 1 (04:29):
Going for my singing is aggressive.

Speaker 2 (04:32):
Now your singing. I love the ambition of going for
that very specific like sometimes yeah, sometimes our listeners will
write an a K for me and I'm just like, guys,
you've heard me try to sing like this is not
something that I get to sing.

Speaker 3 (04:48):
Is nailed listening to me on a podcast.

Speaker 2 (04:51):
I know, but it was wonderful. Thank you Paulay for
being here and Paul V. We are thrilled, blessed even
to be join Anointed Anointed in our third and fourth
seats by two hilarious improvisers we've been performing together for years.
Their new fully improvised, truly hilarious comedy podcast Soccer Moms,

(05:16):
a real treat. They just they just had an amazing
philosophical conversation in character about the spiritual dysfunction caused by
the fave Red's starbursts, where which I can't recommend enough.
I think I think it's the most recent episode you
can check it out now on Will Ferrell's Big Money

(05:37):
Players Network, which is just everywhere podcasts are given away
for free. Welcome to the show, Holly Laurent and Katie Red.

Speaker 1 (05:47):
Thank you if any of us. Holly should sing, I
should not sing. I can't sing. And Holly is the
voice of a freaking angel. I wish we could come
out to the Bulls music, Katie the Ellen Person's project. Yeah,
that's what feels right. It does feel right.

Speaker 2 (06:05):
Should should I take it from the top and be
doing that the whole time.

Speaker 1 (06:09):
Encourage listeners to perhaps put that on in the background.

Speaker 2 (06:12):
Meant yes, yes, exactly. Turn the lights in your room,
just back God.

Speaker 1 (06:18):
Protect your pretend you're from North Carolina.

Speaker 2 (06:21):
Nothing was more electric than those moments right before.

Speaker 1 (06:26):
Can I tell you something, I as my accent isn't
as bad as it used to be. I've worked on this.
If you can't believe it, thank you so much. Thank
you for talking about your friend like that. But I
will say that there have been times where to get
myself pumped up, I will watch YouTube compilations of the
Bulls intro from the nineties. That's brilliant. Yeah, And then

(06:49):
like I can't sleep it's like, it's truly like cocaine.
It's it's so I encourage you all to if you
need to get pumped.

Speaker 3 (06:56):
Up, if you ever need to run a marathon, watch
the last Dance.

Speaker 1 (07:00):
Oh yeah, oh my god.

Speaker 3 (07:02):
Yeah, and then take it personally, and then you tell
you personally.

Speaker 2 (07:06):
Takes two things that are true in my life is
and I took that personally and sucked them kids. Michael
Jordan quotes and.

Speaker 1 (07:15):
Republicans to.

Speaker 3 (07:18):
Just shoved the kids out of the door.

Speaker 2 (07:22):
Kick them out. It's wonderful to have you both, and
I do. Really the the Fave Reds conversation really hit
home with me. Yeah, your characters are talking about this
new version of this new presentation of starbursts, because it's
not even new flavors. It's just the same old flavors,

(07:42):
but without the that lemon without orange. Is that it
is that the only ones that got kicked out Lemon
and orange.

Speaker 4 (07:49):
I think so pink, the pink and the red. But
now you can get too. You can get pan now too.
So yeah, they're just trying to load us up on what.

Speaker 2 (07:58):
We sow verification exactly.

Speaker 3 (08:02):
On Wednesdays, Tuesdays Wednesdays.

Speaker 1 (08:05):
But the dissolation of the conversation is that that's actually
bad for us, that we should suffer through the flavors
that we don't like, because we're denying ourselves of excitement
when we see the flavors with seeing right read something
something segregation.

Speaker 2 (08:25):
Well well put well Paul, the co hosts of this
show like a entertainment executive and is just like you
just joke that in later just there, you know, just
improvised that in there later. Anyways, Holly and Katie, we're
thrilled to have you here. We're gonna get to know

(08:46):
you a little bit better in a moment. First, a
couple of things that we may be talking about later on.
We talked on yesterday's Trending episode about Amazon wanting their
their latest scheme to bribe the troubleministration is to bring
back The Apprentice with Donald Trump Junior as the host.

Speaker 3 (09:06):
And I'm saying, you hate the first guy, well the
second one.

Speaker 2 (09:12):
First of all, I say, let them mel Robbins, let
them please. And also we now have some evidence that
writer jam went and found these clips from a time
that they were trying out. They were like, what if
Donald Trump Junior had charisma and so they tried him
out as a TV host in the early Team, and

(09:34):
it's it's wild. He is getting blown off the stage
by people who've never been on camera before, just about
the lack of charismas is startling. So we might look
at that, we might look at another Amazon. It's an
all Amazon act too, amazonops all Amazon, which is the
exact opposite of Bops all Berries. But they also have

(09:55):
a plan where they're going to create a little podcast,
an AI pod cast that summarizes the reviews on a
product for you.

Speaker 3 (10:05):
Do you like cereal but want to hear serial numbers? Right,
We're a series of numbers.

Speaker 1 (10:13):
We're just solving problems that don't exist exactly.

Speaker 2 (10:16):
God, I wish I could hear robots talk about the
reviews on this thing, and so you can read it
looking now, But my eyes they get so.

Speaker 1 (10:28):
You know, let's just let cancer go. Let's let it
happen robots to read a review about my gummy bears.

Speaker 2 (10:38):
There's a new rom com called One Night Only that
just dropped a trailer. It's kind of got a got
a strange premise, whereas like it's a fairly straightforward in tone,
but then they're like, oh, yes, but in this universe
you can only have sex one day a year. It's
like the Purge. But for sex, it's very very strange.

(11:00):
It seems like it has like a it's not it's
not like a weird you know, be or like it's
not made by like Angel Studios or something. You know,
it's it's a real movie that they were just like,
what if this was it took place in the world
of the Purge for sex.

Speaker 1 (11:18):
Yes, but what I don't love is that it does
feel like there might be Chick fil A Network vibes
about it because it's it's premarital sex.

Speaker 2 (11:26):
Right, that's right, which I don't love.

Speaker 3 (11:28):
What I don't like is that that some women could
die from having primaris, Like.

Speaker 1 (11:35):
What do you mean this is in a world?

Speaker 2 (11:38):
Right?

Speaker 3 (11:39):
Yeah, yeah, that's a risk we always take.

Speaker 2 (11:42):
I know, it's very uh, it's very very uh. The
tone is very strange. So we might take a look
at that trailer, we might look at a Scientology's reaction
to the people running into the scientology doing scientology. Scientology
runs all that plenty more. But first, Holly, Katie, we

(12:03):
do like to ask our guests, what is something from
your search history that is revealing about who you are.

Speaker 4 (12:10):
My honest to god last search on my search history
was defined troubadour.

Speaker 3 (12:16):
Oh wait, that's so actually valid. Yeah, like a person,
a place, you know, a thing.

Speaker 1 (12:27):
So Holly, Holly is like the embodiment, like her whole life.
She's just like a walking beautiful poem that like is
inviting everyone to participate in life. And like the fact
that she was like googling troubadours. That couldn't be more
Holly Katie. I gotta kiss her on the mouth.

Speaker 2 (12:47):
Now we're going to do that, Okay.

Speaker 1 (12:51):
I was wanting to know if excuse me.

Speaker 3 (12:54):
Jack, why'd you cut away while we were kissing on
the mouth? Do you hate w l WS.

Speaker 2 (13:02):
One?

Speaker 1 (13:02):
One night a year he gets to look at.

Speaker 3 (13:04):
U premierital sah kiss.

Speaker 4 (13:14):
But what I learned was it said something about like
a poet, a musician.

Speaker 1 (13:19):
But what I was.

Speaker 4 (13:20):
Really looking for was is it intrinsic in the definition
that they're traveling because I'm currently I'm currently nomadic, and
I thought to be a troubadour kind of meant that
you're a traveling artist or.

Speaker 1 (13:31):
Entertainer, but you don't want to be. When I looked up,
I kept looking and it said nothing about it.

Speaker 4 (13:36):
And I kept trying to get away from the AI
generated answer because I didn't want to use two bottles
of water, and so I put it in define Troubadoor
minus AI, and it kept giving me the Gemini stuff
and all the everything anyway, But it didn't say anything
about travel. It just said poetry and music.

Speaker 3 (13:53):
It says on the wikimedia give me AI. It does
say that many did travel sojourning at one word and
then another, but it's not necessarily Uh, it doesn't necessary
necessate necessitate that necessity.

Speaker 1 (14:09):
I can't thank you, thank you very much, because I
also love that word sojourn. That's a beautiful word.

Speaker 2 (14:15):
Because the language on this podcast just stepped up to
a level.

Speaker 5 (14:22):
Soll sorts of words here up next to whistletones, Troubadour,
not inherently road dogs.

Speaker 2 (14:35):
That's that's cool.

Speaker 1 (14:37):
I like I like bard is a bard? I think
a bard is like it's traveling. I think you have
to add a what was it? It's what is the improv?
What did it come from? It came from comedy de larte,
which is unemployed unemployed traveling trust fund people. I guess

(14:57):
why do I look ad.

Speaker 3 (14:59):
And Google oh Gemini came up.

Speaker 2 (15:01):
What see, it's so annoying of Google Gemini.

Speaker 1 (15:06):
Everywhere mine isn't mine is not mine is also very
indicative of me because mine was literally how old is
Craig Counsel who is the manager of the Cubs, and
he's double Nichols, he's fifty five.

Speaker 3 (15:24):
Double Nichols.

Speaker 1 (15:27):
Because as you've been older, if you're a sportsperson, you
get devastated at the ages of people you also, so
I was like, oh.

Speaker 3 (15:39):
Lebron has to play forever correct for us, making players
to pass to.

Speaker 1 (15:45):
Yes, so I was happy he's he's fifty five. He's
substantially older than me.

Speaker 2 (15:49):
Nice. Nice.

Speaker 4 (15:50):
Have you crossed the threshold yet where you've walked into
a doctor's appointment and your doctor younger than you? Yeah,
that's a real doozy, man, that's a real dudey.

Speaker 1 (15:59):
Have you ever had a therapist or psychiatrist who was
younger than you?

Speaker 4 (16:03):
Yeah, that's gnarly, but honestly, I feel like they're healthier
than me.

Speaker 2 (16:10):
Fam. How are you feeling today?

Speaker 3 (16:12):
Yeah, yeah, I don't don't worry about that guy.

Speaker 1 (16:16):
He's chopped.

Speaker 2 (16:19):
Calling me. Yeah, that's it's no good. It's no good guy.
I'm still older than Lebron. That's how old I am.
Oh my god, I didn't know that was possible.

Speaker 1 (16:33):
Damn. That's not Lebron though, has been playing basketball for
seventy two years. Like that's the other thing. It's like, yeah,
he started seventy three. Yeah, and honestly looks pretty bad,
pretty good.

Speaker 2 (16:47):
Yeah, I look like the very first second after the
guys see the Grail and Raiders at the Lostar. Yeah,
like more than three or four frames in.

Speaker 1 (17:03):
I think you look like Jared leto if I would
let my daughter around him, if.

Speaker 3 (17:12):
We were, if we were playing this game with me,
I would be devastating. Jack is stronger than our soldiers.

Speaker 4 (17:24):
And Jack just say you're older than Bronni. Also true,
Also true.

Speaker 2 (17:29):
That I need your help.

Speaker 3 (17:33):
You are older than.

Speaker 1 (17:34):
Brown You're older than Brownie, but we all are.

Speaker 3 (17:37):
I don't know. I'm pretty young and beautiful.

Speaker 1 (17:40):
That is true.

Speaker 2 (17:41):
That is true. What is uh? What's something you guys
think is underrated? Katie? You want to start us?

Speaker 1 (17:47):
I do, and I have a very simple one that
I think is going to be a nice gift for everyone.
Cutting up your banana. Oh, if you're going to put
a banana on a yogurt or a cereal or a situation.
Just take a few seconds cut that up with a knife,
and you are going to have a fancy, fancy day.

Speaker 3 (18:06):
South Indian drunk food, yogurt, rice and banana cut up
on top.

Speaker 1 (18:12):
So good, oh, so good. My best friend in junior
high and then she we went to college together too.
She was South Indian and her mother would always send
us the greatest food to college. And it was always
like and she would put like hot sauce on ice cream.
Oh that's yeah. It was like I was like, I
get it. She was like, I gotta taste something.

Speaker 3 (18:36):
Some straw.

Speaker 2 (18:37):
Correct.

Speaker 1 (18:38):
Correct. So I encourage you all to take that moment
to just cut up your banana and you will feel
so fancy and you will save twelve dollars for the
you know, cut up plate of food that you would
have bought.

Speaker 3 (18:50):
It's also, yeah, it's an investment in your self worth.
You deserve a banana.

Speaker 1 (18:54):
Correct, Yep, you just need a butter knife's knife, butter knife,
butter knife, butter knife.

Speaker 3 (19:05):
I hardly know.

Speaker 2 (19:07):
I wanted to give you the space to say that
I knew it, to help you get it out.

Speaker 3 (19:11):
Jack, We know each other too well.

Speaker 2 (19:14):
I find uh, I find ice cream without hot sauce
on it too spicy. So I don't know what you
guys are talking about.

Speaker 3 (19:20):
He has actually had mayo to his ice.

Speaker 2 (19:23):
Cream to take down a little. It's a little, a
little too much for me.

Speaker 1 (19:28):
The skim milk is hot.

Speaker 2 (19:32):
I love sliced up and an on my cereal. That
is one of my favorite little treats in the world.

Speaker 1 (19:37):
I urge you all.

Speaker 2 (19:38):
The one thing that those cereal boxes were not lying
about was, you know, the little sliced uff I feel
like Cheerios. Maybe for a while the yellow Cheerios box
had sliced up an in on it at one point. Holly,
how about you? What's something you think is underrated?

Speaker 4 (19:56):
Room temperature butter? Keeping it on the counter?

Speaker 3 (19:59):
Wow?

Speaker 4 (20:00):
So it spread so easy and it melts so fast.
I've started buttering both sides in my toast because you
know we're all gonna die. And the underpart is where
your tongue is.

Speaker 3 (20:13):
You know what I mean? Yes, can I tell you
something fucked up from my life?

Speaker 2 (20:18):
Please?

Speaker 1 (20:18):
If you didn't, I.

Speaker 3 (20:23):
Killed a man.

Speaker 2 (20:27):
Recording.

Speaker 3 (20:28):
Yeah, it's fine. He jumped in front of the car.

Speaker 1 (20:31):
No anyway, the Apprentice reboot isn't happening because I'm not.

Speaker 3 (20:36):
Oh man, I okay. I take rolls and sometimes I don't.
This is so fucked up, guys, please don't think less
of me. I and then I don't cut them. I
slather butter on the side and I just bite into it.
And then I keep doing that in front of the
bite because I don't fucking I don't fucking slice it.
I just take a whole roll, slather butter on the side,

(21:00):
more butter, chop, add more butter, better as you go,
as you go, baby, Yeah, absolutely does seem like it.

Speaker 2 (21:08):
Just I'm trying to figure out what bothered me, and
I think it's the I think it's the fact that
I'm worried the butter is going to fall off. Yeah,
not as you do it right, and I'm good. Then
we're good here.

Speaker 1 (21:22):
Hollis and I were the same.

Speaker 6 (21:24):
Ye.

Speaker 1 (21:28):
Surprise.

Speaker 2 (21:30):
My grandmother would never refrigerate butter. That was not a
thing that she She was like, no, you don't supposed
to be raw. And I eggs too, that are actually
like fresh from the bird. Yeah, real eggs are allowed

(21:51):
to Yeah you don't. You don't.

Speaker 3 (21:52):
I'm going to need to talk to people in my
tropical places. Please don't listen to this podcast. This is
for white environments only.

Speaker 2 (22:05):
People in the tropical plays have never heard of refer
toerating eggs because they don't have to. There's like something weird.
I think that's right, that there's something weird that is
done to eggs by like, you know, factories, egg factories.

Speaker 3 (22:20):
That stop calling me that, Jack. I've asked you a
million times.

Speaker 2 (22:29):
You know what I mean? You know what I mean?
All right, Holly, what is something you think is overrated? Well?

Speaker 1 (22:39):
Does everyone say this every time? Crude oil.

Speaker 2 (22:45):
Kind of fans on this podcast? I was gonna guess
in and out fries because that is what everyone says
every time.

Speaker 4 (22:51):
Well, they're not wrong.

Speaker 1 (22:53):
In and out fries are?

Speaker 4 (22:54):
Those are a conspiracy to make you think the burgers
are better.

Speaker 2 (23:00):
They are the yellow starburst of in and out bur are.
Really they're there to just make you appreciate what is
good at.

Speaker 1 (23:08):
She said, crude oil.

Speaker 2 (23:10):
Crude oil, like oil.

Speaker 7 (23:13):
With a vulgar attitude, or it just sounds like rude
that's great when they named it, or like the animation
the crews.

Speaker 4 (23:26):
Yeah, I want sunshine man, that's free and a clothesline.

Speaker 1 (23:30):
I'm going I'm going back.

Speaker 4 (23:32):
I'm going back to A Little House on the Prairie,
which is now coming out a remake.

Speaker 2 (23:36):
Wait what nice? Okay.

Speaker 3 (23:39):
My theory is they're trying to tradwife us and this
is how.

Speaker 2 (23:43):
These are your two options. Little house on the prairie
or sex one night a year.

Speaker 3 (23:50):
The genders.

Speaker 1 (23:54):
How much sex do they have on the prairie? That's
my first question.

Speaker 3 (23:57):
How much sex do they have with the one night?

Speaker 2 (23:59):
Too much?

Speaker 3 (24:00):
Also, that feels that feels so painful.

Speaker 1 (24:06):
Also, like what if I don't want to have sex
that day? Right, Like that's why I won't go to
a really fancy if.

Speaker 3 (24:11):
Girls are on their fucking period.

Speaker 4 (24:13):
You're definitely gonna have your period that one day, right.

Speaker 2 (24:16):
Yes, everybody has their period that one day.

Speaker 1 (24:19):
Everybody.

Speaker 2 (24:23):
These factories am all right, fellas no ship. Yeah, I
think we can get on board with crude oil being
over Yeah, perhaps the most overrated thing in the history
of humanity. So good, Yeah, yeah, I got wow. Yeah,
you're like, uh, do you want me to answer this

(24:44):
seriously because I'll give you the best answer in history humanity. Yeah,
it's crude oil. What what about you Katie, it's gonna be.

Speaker 1 (24:56):
I was gonna say, Maslow's hierarchy of needs it is
completely overrated. There was no empirical study done on it.
It is dated, talk about something that was made for
white culture that does not apply to collectivist cultures other
And it also is not true your your needs change want.

(25:18):
You can't just because something is met you jump to
the next thing. I think that this idea that we
can reach a certain point and be authentic and be
happy is what's killing us all. And it is such
a capitalistic way to look at life and existence. So
I don't think it's actually his fault. I don't think
it's Abraham Maslow's fault. I think people took it to

(25:41):
mean something else. But I think we should, much like
the food pyramid, abandon that one.

Speaker 4 (25:46):
Yeah, preach baby.

Speaker 3 (25:48):
I agree because the top of my hierarchy of needs
is looks maxing, and so I agree with you that
that is incorrect.

Speaker 1 (25:58):
So underneath is like, hey, yeah, it's like hammer some
sort of weird meds that I.

Speaker 3 (26:05):
Should not be I mean, yeah, I don't even know
the names of what they're doing. That's a stupid.

Speaker 1 (26:13):
You're not stupid. You have friends.

Speaker 3 (26:15):
Okay, okay, Boomer, you don't know what ketamine is, loser.

Speaker 2 (26:22):
I also feel like it allows you to be mean
to people by being like I was hungry. I didn't
have my basic physiological need met, so obviously I can't
be a good But also it.

Speaker 1 (26:34):
Implies that if you don't have a home, then you
won't you can't make art or like, you know what
I mean, right like that that's insane to say. So
I think it's really overrated.

Speaker 2 (26:49):
You guys really brought it very.

Speaker 1 (26:53):
I mean, I can't compete with police. True reason like
why everything is wrong rot true.

Speaker 2 (27:04):
All right, let's let's take a quick break and we're
gonna come back and review the televised charisma of Donald
Trump Junior. Will be right back and we're back.

Speaker 3 (27:26):
We're back, We're back.

Speaker 4 (27:29):
We're back, baby, We're back.

Speaker 2 (27:32):
Any kind of fool can see we are back. And
it turns out we don't have to imagine what a
bad TV host Donald Trump Junior would be because we
have there's some there's some clips from twenty first century
television that was the name of a show that they
went with, but is not not not great. He's hosting

(27:54):
it feels like very infomercial.

Speaker 1 (27:56):
Vibeks seven club too. It does have Yeah, it looks
there's like a religious twinge to it.

Speaker 3 (28:04):
I'm in club.

Speaker 1 (28:12):
I know those guys are perverts.

Speaker 2 (28:17):
So I just want to share with you a little
bit of his charisma and like how he's doing as
a host. They keep calling him a guest host, but
it seems like he's the only host of this particular show.
So we're gonna play it and then I just want
to get your honest reactions, no wrong answers, but we
do hope that your fans because we really think Donald

(28:39):
Trump Jinger could be a really incredible host. Okay, here
we go and just give him a chance. He's his
first job.

Speaker 1 (28:49):
His chin has gotten smallers, he's gotten older.

Speaker 2 (28:53):
His chin has gotten gone away with his.

Speaker 4 (28:56):
Chin recedes like the grinding of his teeth or is
he doing that thing where he hammers his face bones
to restruct that.

Speaker 2 (29:05):
Yeah, it seems like he might have given if Vanka
his chin, Yeah, because she has gotten more of a
chin as I think she's gone right and he's gone left.

Speaker 1 (29:18):
He's gone syphilis.

Speaker 4 (29:19):
He's definitely gone syphilis.

Speaker 3 (29:22):
So just Ivanka Trump presented by Netflix is a i' kidding.

Speaker 2 (29:28):
To my show.

Speaker 8 (29:28):
Please located to higher Education here today to discuss how
their company is helping children and adults develop a powerful vocabulary.
We have partners Avery Williamson, Cameron Cope, as well as
regional distributor doctor Stephen Lamer from Techno Tutor. Welcome to
you all.

Speaker 2 (29:44):
Great to be. We couldn't take that again, Donald, could
we have partners?

Speaker 1 (29:52):
I've already started a book in those two seconds of yeah,
I've never been like you know what, I'm glad he
started doing cocaine because he needed something he needed.

Speaker 3 (30:07):
That's his personality.

Speaker 2 (30:08):
This is clearly pre cocaine from the energy that we're
getting he does. It's a bit of a catch twenty
two because he is one of the like he he
has a complete inability to hide when he's on cocaine.
He's the most evidently on cocaine person I've seen. I
think in my life.

Speaker 1 (30:28):
Do you know people who can hide it? Because I
my experience, it's it's a very hard drug to hide.

Speaker 3 (30:33):
That you're on in your experience case.

Speaker 1 (30:36):
And I visually visual experience of looking at people, not
his eyes like get real bloodshot and like kind of glassy.

Speaker 2 (30:44):
But then he's also like kind of grinding a little bit.

Speaker 3 (30:48):
That's just me reading the news, so.

Speaker 1 (30:50):
It's not like a subtle drug. But but after seeing
that clip, I'm like, give him more, give him coke,
give him more. He's way more fun on with coke.

Speaker 3 (30:59):
Yeah. Whatever they gave Trump after he got COVID, Yeah,
give him.

Speaker 1 (31:03):
Those shots, those like crazy shots where he was Oh man.

Speaker 4 (31:07):
That clip honestly looks like if it was a high
school mock you know, television show and he was the like,
you know, fifteen year old kid who.

Speaker 1 (31:16):
You know, he's like trying really hard. You know, we
would all be like, good job, buddy, good job.

Speaker 2 (31:22):
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (31:23):
And actually that's why he does everything he does so
that someone who loves him wist say good job.

Speaker 2 (31:29):
Yeah, and it's never happened, and it's never ever gonn
never happening, and that the outcome of him taking over
the Apprentice would of course be the show bombing and
his dad like ruthlessly mocking him for like failing.

Speaker 1 (31:45):
Yeah, we know that story of him like punching him
in the face. They were going to go to a
baseball game and he was like put on a suit
and punch him in the face.

Speaker 2 (31:51):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (31:51):
I Oh, like Donald Trump punched Junior and.

Speaker 2 (31:55):
Packed him in the face so hard that he fell
to the ground because he had had he he was
going to wear a Yankees jersey to a Yankees game,
and his dead sacked him to the ground and said
put on the suits. Hilarious.

Speaker 1 (32:10):
That's hilarious.

Speaker 2 (32:11):
I do love that that happened to him.

Speaker 1 (32:13):
I mean, you can't deny that that. Donald Trump is
so fun to watch and I and yet every single
one of his offspring is the biggest dud on the planet, truly.

Speaker 3 (32:26):
Did you see that clip of him talking about the
person in his in the Oval office who he was like,
he's a great listener. Look at those ears and the
guy has fucking huge and it's head of.

Speaker 2 (32:38):
Like NASA beautiful. They don't understand that, like that's the
only reason he has, Like that we are where we
are is his He's fun to watch and people are like, ah,
this is fun. Like he it's like watching like a

(32:58):
nation of bully, watching a bully, like hold a NERD's
head in the toilet, like over and over again, and
like that. They're like, watch him tell this hass A
guy's ears look like shit and it is funny. It
is funny, and.

Speaker 1 (33:14):
It's not because he's like if he should just have
a show. He's again like you should just have it,
should be a housewife. Yes, he should be in prison
and have a camera and I would watch every second
of it and.

Speaker 2 (33:27):
It's been great. I think we should just Truman show
his prison, Like I know it's going to be very expensive. Yes,
I am in my let them phase of do it.
Give Donald Trump Junior this show, like do do whatever
that's gonna fail miserably and be a huge embarrassment for
them that I think we need to put him in
a Truman show where he still thinks he's President Donald

(33:47):
Trump singr and just like let him like press buttons,
but also like give him a show where he reviews
theater and you know, talks about the Real Housewives New Jersey.

Speaker 1 (34:02):
And it's like when you give a child a phone
that doesn't work to make them feel like they have
a phone.

Speaker 3 (34:07):
I'm in a different phase entirely that I cannot say
in any recorded form.

Speaker 2 (34:14):
Not I'll say this.

Speaker 1 (34:15):
I'm so co I just they keep trying to make
his kids happen and they're just not. And I'll never
forget when he hosted Satay Night Live. There was a
sketch that you know, there's cameos and sketches and it's
very like Robert Lojah, you know, very wow. And he
was like, I don't know, let's ask my daughter. And
Evanka came out and the whole audience was like.

Speaker 4 (34:38):
It was.

Speaker 1 (34:39):
It was truly like a police clap moment, and it
was jarring to both of them because they were like,
what this should be. This is like getting Michael Jordan
to get you know.

Speaker 3 (34:49):
Like Elon Musk getting booed at the Chappelle Show.

Speaker 2 (34:52):
Yes, yeah, was unfair. I thought that was unfair. People
should have given him a chance. I wanted to see
what he was going.

Speaker 3 (35:03):
It is him asking Grok to tell jokes, but it
is five minutes.

Speaker 4 (35:11):
But is there any way that this is a good
idea for him to bring back The Apprentice because it'll
It'll get Trump's eire up and he'll be like, I
gotta take it over. And he has plenty of time
to come take it over because he doesn't read briefed.
He he has time in his schedule. He could be like,
I'm stepping back in and I'm taking it over.

Speaker 1 (35:33):
I'm gonna hit my dumb son to the ground and
take over what he can't do correctly.

Speaker 2 (35:38):
And then session meets the Apprentice.

Speaker 1 (35:42):
Yes, I don't mind it. Also, speaking of Succession, I
will say there was Carrie vibes in him. If you've
watched Succession and when Carrie tries to host the news
girlfriend spoiler was true, there were kind of vibes.

Speaker 6 (35:59):
Like, yeah, it's also way, way, way, way way worse
than that, but a great performer doing an amazing job
of like being a person who should not be hosting
a TV show, like does not come close to this
motherfucker actually trying to host a TV show and just
like not being able to do it in any ways.

Speaker 1 (36:21):
So consensus is we want it.

Speaker 2 (36:23):
So badly like I wanted it before, just because of
the humiliation and because like it would involve you know,
Donald Trump's humiliating his son and like yell yelling at him,
and we just nobody has ever like been more hateable
than Donald Trump Junior. I feel like, just on a
gut level, but now with Holly's pitch that like it

(36:47):
also might have some practical applications for like what for
the future of the country and him just like being like,
I don't know, guys, I think I got to take
it back.

Speaker 4 (36:57):
Yeah, that was more fun anyway. I got here lons
of time.

Speaker 1 (37:00):
That's what's ruining our family name.

Speaker 2 (37:02):
That's right, that's right. There was that. I think. I
think it was like as Trump was running for president
the first time, they did try to bring The Apprentice
back with Arnold Schwartzenegger and it didn't do well, and
Trump couldn't like he stopped his campaign just to talk
shit about Arnold Schwartzenegger and like how bad it was doing.

(37:24):
Just like he couldn't let it go.

Speaker 3 (37:26):
We need to do like we need to do a
reboot of Home Alone two just for that scene and
have somebody in it that he hates, Like put Obama
in there. See what he says, just recast everything he's
been in Obama.

Speaker 1 (37:39):
Could they should have Obama host The Apprentice and then yeah,
it would immediately like start it would would take it back.

Speaker 2 (37:47):
Yeah, you just arrest him, he'd arrest everybody.

Speaker 1 (37:49):
He cares more about Obama than his son.

Speaker 2 (37:52):
Oh yeah, yeah, but he hates his son at a
at a deep, deep level.

Speaker 3 (37:58):
He's like the joker with Obama, like loves.

Speaker 1 (38:00):
To Yes, he needs him, he needs him.

Speaker 2 (38:04):
Yes, yeah, right, he's secretly in love with like some
of the people that he hates, but his son is
not one of those sons. Just like he's he's total zero,
total dud. All right, let's uh, let's take a quick
break and we'll come back and watch the Purge butt
Horny and uh look at the Scientology runs Trent. We'll

(38:27):
be right back, and we're back. We'rea and yeah. So
the movie is called One Night Only, starring Callum Turner

(38:48):
and Monica Barbaro. Do we know, yeah, two absolute babes.
I feel like they're they're famous, right, Like they're people
who would be.

Speaker 1 (38:57):
In ad Callum is dating du A Lipa.

Speaker 2 (39:00):
Yeah, Like that's the energy that I'm getting is.

Speaker 1 (39:03):
Yeah, this isn't just like a random dud movie. This
is like a real a real movie.

Speaker 2 (39:08):
Yeah, And like everything about it seems like a real movie,
Like the they got one of the Please don't destroy
like that one of the SNL cast members is just
like a fun friend, the tall redheaded guy just like
he's in everything, Ben, He's in everything. But like that's
you know, it's like that type of movie where you like, oh,
the comedy guy, right, now shows up for like five

(39:30):
seconds of the trailer. It's not like his movie or
anything like it's that level of movie. And it's just
like randomly halfway through the trailer. They're just like on
the one night a week or the one day a
year that you're allowed to have sex, and just like
breeze past it like marriage.

Speaker 1 (39:50):
I was gonna say Household right like I do. It
is directed by I think Will Gluck also wrote it,
and I know him and I do try trust him,
and I think that this will be weirder in a
good way.

Speaker 2 (40:05):
I think they're not just gonna past it the way.

Speaker 1 (40:08):
I think this is going to be weird in a
in a good way.

Speaker 4 (40:11):
And not Christian crop Baganda.

Speaker 1 (40:13):
It is not, but it seems like it is. But
I wonder if they lean into that. But I do
I do feel that. Look, I I want rom Coms
to come back there, and so I don't know. I
trust the Gluck. I trust the Gluck. Okay, good way.

Speaker 3 (40:28):
Do you think maybe the message is punishing people for
premarital sex will be bad?

Speaker 2 (40:34):
Oh? No, couldn't be.

Speaker 1 (40:39):
I've never seen the purge. The purge is just like
you can't everybody kill day a year, you can do
anything you want, and so do people just take the
whole year to fortify their homes for the.

Speaker 2 (40:51):
One day everybody?

Speaker 1 (40:53):
So then is that what you do you like get
hot for like this one day to fuck people?

Speaker 2 (40:58):
I think, well, so like that in the trailer, they
are like she she's walking down the street and everybody's
like making out hardcore and it's just like everybody's all
over each other, and her and her friend are like,
we are going to be very intentional about this as
we like go through this day. And then like five
seconds later, her friend's like, Hey, I'm leaving with this
guy I met in line to the bathroom. So yeah,

(41:21):
that's I think the dissonance that people are having with
this is like it seems like a very like fun,
straightforward rom com that is written by like funny people
with like funny sensibilities, and then they kind of like
address the thing, but they're not like and this is
fucked up, right, But like I think that's it almost

(41:42):
seems like now that I know that it's written by
somebody that you trust, it feels like they're just like,
how do you make a movie about fascism and make
it be like a thing that people want to watch
and liked in the background.

Speaker 1 (41:59):
Yeah, is a very sneaky, sneaky great movie. And so
I don't know. I I think I think there's probably
another layer going on here.

Speaker 4 (42:08):
Yeah, that makes me want to watch it. And for
any of those like evangelicals or chrysto fascists out there,
I just have to point out, but if you never
get married.

Speaker 1 (42:17):
Yeah, I'm in attendance.

Speaker 4 (42:20):
I just I would have to point out the obvious
that if you never get married, then it wasn't premarital sex.
Just don't get married, folks, and then you're just having sex, you.

Speaker 1 (42:32):
Know what I mean?

Speaker 3 (42:33):
Just that's crazy.

Speaker 4 (42:34):
Yeah, because marriage is overrated as well.

Speaker 1 (42:37):
What if it's just a hard fingering? Does that count hard?

Speaker 3 (42:41):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (42:41):
Where do we stand on hard fingers? I figure you
don't want a gentle fingering if you only get.

Speaker 2 (42:45):
It once, right, making count?

Speaker 1 (42:48):
It's you know, what is what counts as sex? I
wonder if is almost heterosex Bill? What's the definition of
is you know, what's.

Speaker 3 (43:01):
The definition of purge? What's the definition of Troubadour?

Speaker 2 (43:08):
The man with like Fedoras? Who are dying to answer
that question for you?

Speaker 1 (43:14):
Oh my god? No, kidding, and one of them's my husband.

Speaker 2 (43:20):
I do wonder where, like will we get a couple
of scenes in the Bureau of Like, you know, will
there be police actions happening in the background as the
day as the time runs out?

Speaker 1 (43:34):
Well, there has to be a government reason for it, right,
Like isn't the purge Actually it benefits wealthy people somehow, yeah,
for population. Yeah, so like this must have some there
must be some sort of nefarious reason why this happened.

Speaker 4 (43:54):
Yeah, like we're republican conventions, Like, you know then grinder
crashes right right, right?

Speaker 2 (44:01):
Yeah? Interesting. I am very now that I know that
it's made by smart people.

Speaker 1 (44:06):
He's a good guy. I don't know, I'll see it. Also,
I'll watch anything that guy does. I watched that stupid
rowing movie he was in that I couldn't It was terrible.

Speaker 2 (44:15):
It was like Green Book, but boats and oh the
boys in the Boat.

Speaker 1 (44:19):
God, that suck. Okay, I know it was a good
but the boys in the boat And because my my
husband actually was a rower and he was like, this
book is great and this the movie was so bad,
but he was the lead in it.

Speaker 3 (44:35):
And one where they go where they die and go
to heaven he's like the first husband and she has
to yea with Miles tell her, yeah, that was weird.

Speaker 2 (44:50):
It seems like they're just like, we got we gotta
revive the eternity. We got to revive the rom com somehow.
Let's go like the biggest.

Speaker 1 (44:59):
Crazy We don't need a high concept, Yeah, we don't
need a high conceptrom com. I don't think I think
we can just I like the simpleness of it of
like I'm in love with my brother's friend, like you
don't need Yeah, we don't need all that. Or j
Lo's a maid that.

Speaker 2 (45:19):
Is kind of high concept, although I like the idea
of being like, well, people like the sorts of people
who need to see it aren't going to go out
of their way to like watch The Handmaid's Tale. But
if you do a rom com that takes place in
the universe of the Handmaid's Tale, like maybe you get

(45:42):
some people who are like, huh.

Speaker 1 (45:45):
Handmaid's Tail is a rough watch.

Speaker 2 (45:47):
I know I wouldn't do it. I would shoot couples
during their like doing dating during that.

Speaker 1 (45:54):
That's a rough watch.

Speaker 3 (45:57):
Yeah, yeah, but I have a hard time watching any
like stressful birthing scene in like any movie it feels
like trigger warning. It feels like, you know, when they
like when male directors or whatever just like insert like
rape scenes for no.

Speaker 1 (46:14):
Reason to give to give a female character or a backstory.

Speaker 3 (46:18):
Yeah, that's actually all of our origin story. Some people
get bit by spiders and women get raped.

Speaker 2 (46:24):
How does she get her superpower?

Speaker 1 (46:28):
How does she get her spite?

Speaker 3 (46:31):
But yeah, it feels like that sometimes where there's a
really traumatic birthing scene, I'm like, that is such a visceral,
painful feeling. I'm just like, I don't, I can't, no,
thank you.

Speaker 1 (46:41):
Yeah. Yeah, And it's not usually done well because if
it's done correctly, it's it's more horrifying than I think
anyone cares to admit.

Speaker 2 (46:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (46:52):
Yeah, there's usually a racist nurse and or if it's
a period piece, racist midwife.

Speaker 1 (47:02):
And somebody's intestines are on the you know table, and
they shove a back in and it's just so I
don't know. Anyway, I will see this movie. I think
that it'll be interesting. I want to see how they
do it. I like to seeing people back themselves into
a corner from a writing standpoint, Yeah, and it feels.

Speaker 2 (47:22):
Like they wouldn't have backed themselves into that corner unless
they had an idea of how to get not the gluck,
not the gluck, not the glove, you glucking kidd me
over here with this guy. All right, let's talk about
Scientology's move on to something.

Speaker 1 (47:39):
Please.

Speaker 2 (47:40):
This is actually fun they're doing there. There's a TikTok
trend where people are running into Scientology centers and like
seeing how deep they can make it, and they have
little go pros on their heads. See what it looks
like in there. This is from one of the comments
on the DIT posts that helped spawn the story. Somebody said,

(48:04):
I love getting to see the interiors of a big
secret place. Why do they have a fake old timey
newsstand and faux theater front? I can't wait to see
more of these. That is what's kind of fun about
these videos is like just going in there and you
expect it's like a fucking volcano layer and it's just
like they're making bad design design decisions and it's just is.

Speaker 1 (48:29):
Just like abandoned corporate real estate and Clearwater, Florida, right
like it's not you know what I mean. I love this,
I love it. I would I've wanted, I would love
to do this in a Mormon church. I think we should,
you know.

Speaker 3 (48:41):
I mean, Utah, get my girl, bro, really.

Speaker 1 (48:44):
Truly do it like like I think, I think.

Speaker 3 (48:46):
Because we're not. I didn't get approved by the bishop though.
Is that going to be an issue? Oh?

Speaker 1 (48:53):
Okay, that don't.

Speaker 2 (48:54):
Don't don't do it. Definitely.

Speaker 3 (48:55):
I don't want to be against the rules. They're my elders.
I'm running through. They're ripping clothes off of me. You
just see the Mormon underwhere they keep ripping. There's more layers.
It's still there, so many layers.

Speaker 4 (49:08):
But both scientologists and Mormons they'll kill you, won't they.

Speaker 1 (49:12):
I mean they've he read.

Speaker 3 (49:13):
That Sherlock Holmes mystery.

Speaker 1 (49:16):
About the Mormons.

Speaker 3 (49:18):
Yeah, one of the Sherlock.

Speaker 2 (49:19):
Homes Flock Holmes novel the first time Charlock Holmes appeared.
This is from an Iconograph episode about Sherlock Holmes. He
the first story is just like about a murder, yeah,
and like Brigham Young as a character, and it's like
the first one is standard Sherlock Holmes mystery and the

(49:40):
second one is just this weird story that takes place
in Utah.

Speaker 3 (49:44):
And like them, had the confidence when I was growing
up that I have now I would have brought that
to seminary and been like, hey, so what the hell
is this? I already asked too many questions when my
friends took me to church.

Speaker 1 (49:57):
What are the repercussions for these people that do the
road Runner?

Speaker 2 (50:01):
It does feel like property inside of the thing inside
the video. They usually get away and the Mormon Church
just like is standing or the Scientology security people are
like standing in the back because.

Speaker 3 (50:15):
They're like because they're doing kids, They're.

Speaker 2 (50:22):
Like it is really wild, like the the like a
lot of the videos, the kids like run past them
and like do a juke move, and it's almost like
the scientologists are like in on it because they who
they like, well, like their legs get twisted up and ship.
It's kind of amazing.

Speaker 4 (50:41):
They're reduced to being the old man and Scooby Doo
like you kids done it again.

Speaker 1 (50:49):
I wish I had done more things like this before
my skullheardened, Like before I was to.

Speaker 3 (50:56):
Do a bunch of stupid ship when I was in
my twenties, many of which I cannot talk about, but
I u I went to cal Tech and there's a
Pasadena Scientology Center and Caltech students are banned from it
because we go in and ask too many annoying questions,
like we just go in and fuck with them. So
any vaguely nerd nerdy person that goes in there, they're like,

(51:16):
you can't.

Speaker 1 (51:17):
Be here, not very church like.

Speaker 3 (51:21):
I know they don't like church to cruise or like, yeah,
we only want to himbos in here.

Speaker 1 (51:29):
I also know that if I had moved to LA
in my twenties, I would a thousand percent of become
a scientologist.

Speaker 3 (51:35):
Yeah you know, I say I'm not susceptible to cults,
and I as you are, and I am dating an improviser, so.

Speaker 1 (51:43):
You oh my god, Holly and I were in it
when it's like we were an improv when there was
still just like one girl on on a team. Yeah,
like it was bad.

Speaker 3 (51:56):
Did she make the sandwiches? Was that what her job was?

Speaker 1 (51:59):
No, she was a press, a tudor her mom.

Speaker 3 (52:01):
Yeah but never never both never never.

Speaker 2 (52:05):
Well at least interesting. If Will Gluck wrote it, I
could write it. The mom would have been the press
to us. So some of the stuff they're doing to
answer your question in response to this trend, one of
the things is very funny. They're taking they're taking the
handles off the doors that the people are yeah, using
to pull open the doors.

Speaker 3 (52:26):
They're just like, yes, the churches, so that they won't
pull it open.

Speaker 2 (52:30):
Yeah, so they won't open it.

Speaker 3 (52:32):
There's also there's also an Instagram account of this guy
who like literally stands outside the Scientology Center in Hollywood,
I believe, and as they're trying to like recruit people.
He like knows all the names of the scientologists. He's like, hey, George,
you're trying to you're trying to bring people in today,
and then they like scudder away from him, like as

(52:52):
and he like gets people to not buy into their stuff.
He's like, don't talk to them. They're a cult. They
do these things, blah blah blah. And his videos are
very entertaining because he knows all the people who work
there and they try not to break, like they try
not to laugh when he says funny shit, and they
like they have to like hide and close the door.

Speaker 1 (53:08):
That's see, this is what happens when there's no no
third spaces, right, yeah, there's no space, So I don't know,
I want to go hang.

Speaker 2 (53:18):
Out outside the Scientology Center. Guys.

Speaker 1 (53:21):
This is no no no harm, no foul, this is
fun mischief, this is great.

Speaker 3 (53:27):
This is exactly in my mind because these are like
a lot of these are like what I would probably
consider annoying white teams. But this is like TMZ being
sick on politicians. It's like using your annoying qualities for good.
This is exactly. You just have to target the right people.

Speaker 1 (53:44):
Yes, it's like as a big old white lady. Sometimes
you have to use that for good and to step
in when you see, you know, the cops. So I
don't know, I like it. I think it's I say,
good job, good job gang.

Speaker 3 (53:58):
Good job broccoli headed teens.

Speaker 4 (54:01):
I have to always marvel at the Scientology Center in
Los Angeles when I would drive by, because they have
a huge cross on top of it, and it's kind
of like, why where is there a cross, like the
symbol of like the Crucifixion, like a piece of like
that has nothing to do with it, nothing to do
But also it's funny science is in their name because
there's no science in there. But I guess, I guess

(54:22):
there's no Christ in Christianity either.

Speaker 3 (54:25):
Yeah, oh, no Christ in Christianity.

Speaker 1 (54:28):
I've never I've never necessarily weird.

Speaker 2 (54:31):
That is.

Speaker 3 (54:33):
From I always think about science because I'm a fucking nerd,
and I get really pissed when they use our branding.

Speaker 1 (54:40):
Where what did you go to school for?

Speaker 3 (54:42):
I did violunteering and English. Yeah, I majored in going clear.

Speaker 1 (54:49):
That's so awesome. I wanted to be Originally I wanted
to be a genetics counselor. Oh and then I hated
chemistry so much that I didn't do it.

Speaker 2 (54:57):
What's a genetics counselor?

Speaker 1 (54:59):
Like, if you have a baby, you smash it. So
it's kind of like science meets therapy, So like do
you like you like smash up jeans and you say, here,
this is this is what it. It's not genetic engineering.
It's not like making a perfect child. It's more of just.

Speaker 3 (55:16):
Like explaining why your child isn't perfect.

Speaker 4 (55:19):
It's more of like, this is what you smash together
your genitals, and I'll smash together your genes.

Speaker 1 (55:25):
Yeah, yeah, exactly. But if you're Christian, you're just smashing
together jeans, just.

Speaker 3 (55:31):
Denim rubbing onatatta.

Speaker 2 (55:35):
The church is officially decrying these incidents as hate crimes.
That is the probing part.

Speaker 1 (55:41):
Of scientology is saying.

Speaker 2 (55:43):
It's a scientology. That's the only church When I say
the church, I mean scientology, the uh there, which does
feel like they're laying the groundwork for doing something like
fucking horrific because right now they're just letting the people go.

Speaker 1 (56:01):
But how that's a hate crime.

Speaker 2 (56:04):
No, but they're not.

Speaker 1 (56:05):
Only they're not a protected class right or scientific. I
guess religion is.

Speaker 2 (56:10):
Religious they are, that's kind of that's the trick. This
one trick that doctors don't want you to know about
is just.

Speaker 1 (56:17):
To not pay taxes and claim hate crime.

Speaker 2 (56:19):
They truly like that. What they did is they you know,
blackmailed the head of the I R S and made
it so that the head of the I R S
like couldn't say no to them. They got religious status,
and now they have so much money because they don't
have to pay taxes. Yeah, but it is interesting for
them to call this a hate crime when like they

(56:41):
routinely spy on their critics. There's a crazy story about
like David Miscavige there, I guess scientology pope guy when
his dad left the king.

Speaker 1 (56:52):
He is the short king. We do not stand, the.

Speaker 2 (56:54):
Shortest, the one short king. We do not stand. And
that's it.

Speaker 1 (56:59):
Where is Shelley Where I say the other thing that's
a still missing. Yeah, she's in Lake Arrowhead. I think
that's the she's one of those cabins. They have these cabins,
these like rehabilitation cabins in there, which she's being kept
in there, which honestly I could use a break. So yeah,
she's not.

Speaker 3 (57:17):
A writer's retreat Lake Arrowhead scientology case working at her
spec script. Next thing we see, it's gonna be these
guys like parkouring into the cabin. Okay, sorry, Jack has something.

Speaker 2 (57:28):
That is like the buildings that they're running through if
you read the book going clear, like there are rooms
in there that sometimes are holding people who are having
troubles with the teachings and are getting into you know.

Speaker 3 (57:42):
So yeah, so they need to be rescue mission.

Speaker 4 (57:44):
There's prisons in there, Yeah, but they there's.

Speaker 1 (57:47):
Also a prison in Eagles Stadium. That's true. On board,
there's definitely Eagles jail.

Speaker 3 (57:59):
Is it like Disney Drell No, it's come in and beuh.

Speaker 1 (58:05):
There's cru there's a there's a real there's a judge,
and that you can go to Eagles Court.

Speaker 3 (58:10):
So crazy. It's like the military has its own court system.

Speaker 2 (58:13):
M hm. So to Philadelphia, they shouldn't allow that. That
seems like they should.

Speaker 1 (58:21):
Actually let them sort it out how they want to
sort it out.

Speaker 2 (58:24):
Katie Holly, Such a pleasure having you both on. This
was so fun. Yeah, guys, follow you guys here your
wonderful show, Soccer Moms.

Speaker 4 (58:37):
You can listen to soccer Moms anywhere you get your podcast.
You can follow us at BFF soccer Moms on Instagram
and it's in. Soccer Moms is so fun and we
have great guests and we laugh a lot, and we
want you to come warm yourself by the fire of
our friendship.

Speaker 3 (58:53):
Oh my goodness, we got.

Speaker 1 (58:55):
Some We got some really cool folks coming up to
that I won't spoil but.

Speaker 3 (59:00):
Might be Shelley Muscavage.

Speaker 1 (59:05):
Go into arrowhead with you.

Speaker 2 (59:07):
Find out what she's been up to an improv that.

Speaker 1 (59:10):
Would be actually, how would you know, Like you wouldn't
know it wasn't her. We should just have someone be Herla.
This is a great This is actually a great idea.

Speaker 3 (59:19):
Yeah, maybe if somebody pretended to be here, we could
find out if like the identity theft was real, because
then it would have to come out in like core documents,
if she was alive or not.

Speaker 2 (59:29):
Right right, they sue us, and then you have to yeah,
that's crazy.

Speaker 1 (59:36):
That's actually really smart. It's it's the same thing as
like Holly saying that Donald Junior trying anything is what
could lure Trump out of the presidency. Like if we say, like, no,
that's Shelley, that's her, it can't be because she's dead.
Oh dang.

Speaker 2 (59:54):
Fu up. Oh boy? Is there a work in the
media you guys have been enjoying?

Speaker 1 (01:00:00):
Yes, very much? So can I give a big one
in a little one?

Speaker 2 (01:00:04):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (01:00:05):
Nice? The Comeback I have nothing to do with it.
I wish I did. I did audition for it, I
did not get it, but the Comeback.

Speaker 3 (01:00:14):
I got me too. I found out a white man
got my part. Oh cool, class I've heard of.

Speaker 1 (01:00:21):
I was like, how are we both up for this role?

Speaker 3 (01:00:28):
No?

Speaker 1 (01:00:29):
I love it. I think it's doing an excellent job.
I think the hardest thing with comedy is to have
your characters evolve, because you don't want them to lose
what makes them so funny and why you love them
in the first place. But you also have to keep
them interesting. And I think The Comeback has done such
an excellent job of having that character evolve in a
way that's true to her and and preserves what you

(01:00:52):
what you enjoyed about her. M I've heard it, is
that your big one or little one? That's my big one?
My little one? Yeah, my little one is. There's this
guy called al Scorch. That's literally his name. He's on
Instagram and he has the Chicago accent that I worked
really hard to get rid of. He sounds like all
of my cousins. He sounds like every he really does.
He talks about tuck pointing and he talks about stuff

(01:01:14):
like that, and uh, I think he's so funny and
he's just such a beautiful piece of Chicago and it's
like my version of ASMR. It's just like this big
guy talking about how people need the plowed their own lots.

Speaker 2 (01:01:27):
I mean, it's true facts. People don't need to plow
our own lots.

Speaker 1 (01:01:31):
Yeah, miss your accent, Katie's, it's a bad one. Don't
let me drink.

Speaker 4 (01:01:37):
All I gotta do is get one vodka soda inur
And it's right.

Speaker 2 (01:01:40):
Big If you.

Speaker 3 (01:01:42):
If you had that voice and you were like a
nail artist, you would be a million followers immediately. You
know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (01:01:49):
If you do have that voice though, it's it's it
takes a lot for me to talk like a human
and not talk back.

Speaker 3 (01:01:54):
To that voice. What are you doing? What are you
ruining yourself? Millennial voice?

Speaker 4 (01:02:02):
Come on.

Speaker 1 (01:02:03):
It's like when people change their names because they don't
want to be too ethnic. It's like, oh, no, I
got rid.

Speaker 3 (01:02:08):
Of my Hello, I'm Paul.

Speaker 1 (01:02:14):
Anyway, hal, what about you? What you got? Mine is?

Speaker 2 (01:02:18):
So.

Speaker 4 (01:02:19):
The Washington Post has an advice columnist named Carolyn Hacks
and I love her and I can't anymore recommend the
Washington Post. I mean, they used to be such an incredible,
you know, journalistic source, and now like the top story
on the Washington Post, owned by Jeff Bezos, the top
story on the Post will be like which jeggings should

(01:02:40):
you be wearing? That's like their top story at this point.
But they still have this amazing woman named Carolyn Hacks
and she's their an advice columnist there, and I love her.
She is funny, She's one of the best writers ever
and she's so clear and direct, and most times people
are writing to her being like how do I address
this thing in my life? And She's like, if you

(01:03:02):
want me to give you the words here they are,
and it's just teaching people how to speak directly because
we've all been like people pleasing and all this shit.

Speaker 3 (01:03:09):
And who needs chad GBT when you have Carolyn Hacks.

Speaker 1 (01:03:12):
Carolyn Hacks.

Speaker 4 (01:03:13):
She is so good and I read her every single
day without fail, and it has I can't afford therapy
right now, so it has been a substitution for therapy.
And she's she's incredible, funny, delightful, best advice ever and
I feel like she's made me a better person.

Speaker 2 (01:03:33):
H a X hex HX.

Speaker 4 (01:03:37):
She's the best.

Speaker 1 (01:03:38):
She's so wonderful. And she goes off, you know how.
Sometimes somebody asks a question and.

Speaker 4 (01:03:43):
You're like this dip shit and I'm like, oh here,
Carolyn's gonna get them.

Speaker 1 (01:03:47):
Carolyn's coming, and she she does.

Speaker 4 (01:03:51):
She's like, I can't hit my forehead into my keyboard
enough just listening to this stop right now. And a
lot of times she'll just be like leave him, period,
And she.

Speaker 1 (01:04:04):
Looks like what I think I've looked like since I
was fourteen.

Speaker 4 (01:04:08):
Yeah, I love her. She's the best. She's the best.
And I've sent her a few questions and she's never
answered them.

Speaker 3 (01:04:15):
You're not Yeah, my probably teaching you something in that itself.
See you don't need your help.

Speaker 2 (01:04:23):
Yeah, you got it. Where can people find you as
their working media?

Speaker 1 (01:04:29):
You've been enjoying paul In p A L.

Speaker 3 (01:04:32):
L A v I g U N A l A
and Netflix of the Joke. May fourth, please come to
my Facial Recognition comedy show at the Hotel Cafe at
ten pm. Please please.

Speaker 1 (01:04:47):
The Hotel Cafe is such a good venue. That's in
the second room.

Speaker 3 (01:04:51):
We're in the like the smaller room, which is hot.
I love it. Okay, I'm going to read what the
tweet is and then what it's quote tweeting. Okay, ready
from Grace Camille. In May of twenty fourteen, a woman
confessed to me that she was the sole witness to
a murder committed by high ranking music in Zech She
showed me muddy clothes from assisting in the burial of
the body. One month later, all about that bass hit

(01:05:11):
the radio waves. I recognize her instantly and it's a
quick tweet of Megan Trainer has released the music video
for Shimmer, and then the follow up tweet underneath it.
This is from Grace Camille. Underscore. To be clear, I
am not suicidal. I've never been suicide.

Speaker 1 (01:05:28):
That's fantastic.

Speaker 3 (01:05:33):
That's great.

Speaker 2 (01:05:35):
A lot of good Megan Trainer stuff happening. Yeah, what
about you, Jack, Oh Workipedia, I've been enjoying. There's a
Twitter account called Future Adam Curtis. B Roll, the documentary
maker always has just like these really weird, surreal, behind
the scenes moments from history and they just like take

(01:05:57):
videos from the news and put them out there. And
one of their recent ones at the White House, First
Lady Milania Trump hosts Queen Camillia and children participating in
a cross cultural education program using meta VR headsets and
just Milania and the Queen Camilla standing next to each

(01:06:18):
other looking at an iPad while children like wander in
front of them with VR headsets on.

Speaker 3 (01:06:24):
Oh my god, it's very Those people should not be
around children at all.

Speaker 2 (01:06:31):
They're great at finding strange moments. They also had Kid
Rock speaking at the Pentagon podiums as one of their moments.
But it's just it's been interesting to see as our
entire world has just turned into this, this Twitter feed,
this future Adam Curtis bu role. It's like everything is

(01:06:52):
a future Adam Curtis by Role now. But I highly
recommend that Twitter account. You can find me on Twitter
at Jack Underscore, Brian Bluesky, Jack O b the Number One.
You can find us on Twitter and blue Sky at
Daily Zeikeist. Read The Daily Zeikeist on Instagram. You can
go to the description of this episode wherever you're listening
to it, and there at the bottom you will find
the footnotes, which is where we link off to the

(01:07:14):
information that we talked about it in today's episode. We
also link off to a song that we think you
might enjoy, and when Miles is out, super producer Justin
comes in and tells us a song that he thinks
you might enjoy, and he always does such a great
job of describing it. Justin, is there a song that
you think that people might enjoy? Yeah?

Speaker 9 (01:07:32):
I usually only have one, but you got me thinking
about Serious by the Alan Parsons project earlier.

Speaker 2 (01:07:39):
So everyone, Oh, no, I'm not familiar about Meghan Trainer
not familiar with.

Speaker 9 (01:07:48):
But yeah, that's a that's a great track if you
want to get yourself pumped up for the weekend.

Speaker 2 (01:07:51):
Onto my other recommendation.

Speaker 9 (01:07:54):
I tend to like songs that are in like a
B flat minor or like a relative key because you
can have this really dreamy at the sphere and this
song fits snuggly into that description. It's called a Woken
by Arlow and this track starts off with the soft
melody with like very ethereal chord progression. Then it comes
with these really clean vocals with some amazing runs that

(01:08:15):
lift up the energy, and then it quickly becomes an
all out fast paced bop that you can really get into,
especially if you're into dance music. So that song again
is called Awoken by Arlow and you can find that
in the footnotes.

so check it out. Mister Bean, True Globe Striding Icon
more so than I realized as somebody who grew up
in the United States.

Speaker 3 (01:09:02):
Oh yeah, because he didn't have to speak.

Speaker 2 (01:09:04):
Yeah, that's right.

Speaker 1 (01:09:05):
It's like minions are so popular because it's not just translated.

Speaker 2 (01:09:09):
A lot of minion energy coming off.

Speaker 3 (01:09:13):
Modern day chaplain is what I say.
