I've seen the video.

Speaker 3 (01:38):
There's like the like there's like a police officer like
investigating the cab of this U haul truck and is
like pulling stuff out, and like the Nazi flag was
like on the ground and they're like.

Speaker 2 (01:47):
It's perfectly unfurled.

Speaker 1 (01:49):
This is a syop, right, And you're like, I mean,
who knows what, Like like when you get into the
intentions of the driver, maybe he was going to put
it like say, Joe Biden, you're a Nazi. I don't
you know take this. Hey maybe it was the peace
offering because he's naz that you probably like that you

(02:10):
Nazi me, I'm for progressivism. Anyways, that was not a
sigh op. That was not AI. There was a Pentagon
explosion that was AI. There's like a AI generated image
of explosion of the Pentagon that spooked the markets briefly

(02:31):
and was was AI. So well, we'll talk about that
more on tomorrow's episode. Max is the big thing. Max
is not working.

Speaker 2 (02:41):
Oh what's Max doing for work now? Then?

Speaker 1 (02:44):
So Max is the new HBO Max.

Speaker 2 (02:48):

I don't remember how the fuck I signed it.

Speaker 2 (03:13):
I opened and they say, oh, you're trying to download Max.
No the fuck I'm not. Yeah, fine, all right, got us,
They've got it.

Speaker 1 (03:21):
Yeah. I tried to open HBO Max and then it
just quit repeatedly, so I went store.

Speaker 2 (03:27):
Sassy beats off to a flyer.

Speaker 1 (03:30):
People are using this as an opportunity to just post
entire movies that are part of the Max ad campaign,
Like people are like forget Max, watch John Wick for
here on Twitter the way it was intended to just
posting full less movies.

Speaker 2 (03:48):
So piracy for everyone.

Speaker 1 (03:50):
Baggage fees are trending. Adriana Ocampo uh wore more than
thirteen pounds of clothing to try and avoid saying a
baggage fee.

Speaker 2 (04:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (04:02):
She also appeared to be giggled though hard to Yeah,
so giggly now gig.

Speaker 3 (04:10):
It looked it looked like a little bit of psilocybin
induced goofballs. I don't know if it's very drunk or
could just be. Look, this person is nineteen years old.
I remember being nineteen and doing the dumbest shit was
the most hilarious fucking thing that could ever happen. Like
when this person checked in to the airline, they're like, yo,
you're about thirteen pounds over on this like baggage, and like, okay, fine,

(04:32):
wore all of the clothing that was thirteen pounds over,
including like stuffing an iPod into their pants and shit,
and they're like cool, Yeah, I'm trying to get on
the airplane and like the flight attendants are like, yeah,
this is uh, this is not happening. They're like you
can either take all this shit off and like store
it properly, or you're gonna pay a fine.

Speaker 2 (04:50):
And they did both.

Speaker 3 (04:52):
So it sucks, but it is that crossed my mind
in Australia, didn't know Yeah, Ozzie zeitgang. I know you're
down there's jet Star like probably I'm guessing it's like
Frontier or you know.

Speaker 2 (05:05):
The spirit one spirit, Yeah, spirit some people spirit. Some
people hear it from the isn't that from Ghostbusters Too.

Speaker 1 (05:12):
I have no idea. I don't know that at all.
You remember that, mm.

Speaker 2 (05:16):
Hmm, that's from That's like that was like the one
rap song in the Ghostbuster song.

Speaker 1 (05:20):
Too Hot to Handle, Too Cold to Hold, where it's
called the Ghostbusters and the something else I forget this
is from?

Speaker 2 (05:27):
This is from. It was Dougie Fresh.

Speaker 3 (05:29):
There's a Douggy Fresh track on the Gustbusters Ghostbusters to soundtrack.

Speaker 2 (05:34):
Yeah, Duhuggy Fresh.

Speaker 1 (05:37):
The Bobby Brown song from Ghostbusters Too is kind of
rotation in my head, really irrevocably. Yeah, it's just always
going to be there.

Speaker 2 (05:46):
What was that song called control or something on Yes
We Got?

Speaker 1 (05:52):
I don't know the words take control, we got? We Got?

Speaker 2 (05:57):
Yeah, Hot to Handle? Too Cold a Hold?

Speaker 1 (06:00):
They call the Ghostbusters and the m Patrol and they're
in control and they're in control. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (06:07):
Had him thrown a party for a bunch of children?

Speaker 1 (06:09):
Well, yeah, under the mast like thematic rap songs I
feel like until Not by Will Smith. That just recaps
the plot of the movie him throwing a party for
a bunch of child children, which is also the weirdest
plot point of Ghostbusters Too. They've gone from saving humanity

(06:29):
many kind to doing kid's birthday parties.

Speaker 3 (06:32):
Hey, this sum was under the building, so they picked
up their group, got a grip, came a quip, and
they not about Vigo the master of evil.

Speaker 2 (06:43):
Try to change my boys.

Speaker 1 (06:46):
Oh yes, what a song.

Speaker 2 (06:51):
Peter mcnichol's greatest role. I gotta say as.

Speaker 3 (06:55):
He is Vigo's Yes, not the Renkman. But why are
you came? Yes, I can go.

Speaker 1 (07:06):
That is really the best part of that movie for his.

Speaker 2 (07:16):
Living God.

Speaker 1 (07:17):
Dodgers about these guys baseball team from Los Angeles. They
won yesterday, So Lakers fans need not fret Dodgers. They
want back in business. So the sisters of perpetual indulgences
or indulgence are indulgence of my old Catholic education coming back.

(07:39):
Sisters of perpetual indulgence are now invited back to the
Dodgers Pride night, even though I guess it. So this
was a story for the past week because they were
asked not to come.

Speaker 2 (07:52):
To the cave.

Speaker 3 (07:54):
The Dodgers cave to right wing pressure, like specifically like
Marco like when Marco Rubio like stepped in a lot
of people like, wow, Marco Rubio has thrown his weight
around and most people like, why the fuck is he
affecting the conversation over here?

Speaker 2 (08:06):
Who gives us shit?

Speaker 3 (08:08):
And and then a lot of right wing commentators are like,
this is an attack on Catholicism and Christianity at large,
makes no mistake.

Speaker 1 (08:18):
They're drag performers who dress as nuns. Is that the idea?

Speaker 3 (08:21):
Yeah, And like they it's like all for fundraising for
all kinds of different causes, but again like yeah, there's
just very campy drag, none kind of visuals and and
like even like more other like figures like you know,
you know, bishops or whatever, but very can be colorful
because yeah, because they're making fun of the people and
their fun ghost stories that they tell you you're going
to go to at double hockey Sticks if you don't

(08:43):
eat fish on Friday.

Speaker 1 (08:44):
Hey, Marco, while we're on the subject, you see this
headline out of Chicago.

Speaker 2 (08:47):
Oh no, what's that is about? The is about the
Catholic Church? Yeah it is.

Speaker 1 (08:51):
A new report also names four hundred and fifty one
Catholic clerics and religious brothers who abused the children abused
children between I mean nineteen fifty in twenty nineteen, far
more than the church acknowledged before the review began.

Speaker 2 (09:06):
Yeah, over two thousand children.

Speaker 1 (09:07):
Jesus.

Speaker 3 (09:08):
But again, like that's what always I can't believe when
these people are like, well.

Speaker 2 (09:11):
I mean I can, but you got it.

Speaker 3 (09:13):
You like they have to put all that shit out
of their head, like you're talking about groomers and people
like actually putting children at risk and we see this
constantly and organized religion. But again, yeah, let's come after
the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence.

Speaker 2 (09:29):
I don't know, it's kind of like a weird look.

Speaker 3 (09:30):
I honestly, like once the Dodgers did it, Like in
my mind, the damage is kind of done. Yeah, and
like their whole thing is like after generous conversations with
the you know, the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, Like we're
offering our sincereous apologies and it's like generous conversations. I
think they're probably like because they they're like please, and.

Speaker 2 (09:51):
They're like, okay, how about this, Like let's negotiate then,
and they're like okay, fine, please be just this is
such a bad look for us. We cave to Marco.

Speaker 1 (10:00):
Up, all right, let's take a quick break and we'll
come back and talk meet Ball ron tiny Ron DeSantis
is only five foot nine inches tall. Oh all right,
we'll be right back, and we're back. And DeSantis is

(10:24):
expected to announce today, is that or already has probably
by the time you've.

Speaker 2 (10:30):
Oh really you heard this, it's happening today.

Speaker 1 (10:32):
I think so. Actually, so the tweet the truth, it
was a truth and it has two million or two
hundred thousand. Oh sorry, god, I was imagining there were
more people on truth the way that they like count
truths and retruths and likes is So this Donald J.

(10:56):

Oh okay, got it, got it, got it?

Speaker 1 (11:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (11:58):
You know what's interesting.

Speaker 3 (12:00):
See a lot of people talk about how one of
the biggest differences between Trump and Ronda Santis is like
rond DeSantis has a lot of these interesting moments caught
on camera, whether he's like laughing like an absolute cornball,
like where you never kind of see Donald Trump like
hamming it up. We're like, look at this fucking fake
politician laugh, where like Ronda Santas has so many of

(12:20):
these gifts and be like, you're like, what's up with
this guy.

Speaker 1 (12:24):
Where he lets the facade fall for a second.

Speaker 3 (12:27):
Exactly, or him where he wiped his like snot on
a guy in Iowa, Like this is another video that's
like going around where he like wiped his nose and
then he goes all right, brother and just pats him
on the shoulder.

Speaker 2 (12:37):
Just there you go, leave it right there?

Speaker 1 (12:39):
Boom, oh nasty.

Speaker 2 (12:42):
Yeah, I laugh for it. Look at this laugh Jack?

Speaker 1 (12:46):
Is that? Myles? What the fuck was that?

Speaker 2 (12:49):
I don't that's the dean scream of laughs.

Speaker 1 (12:52):
Oh my god. Yeah, I hadn't seen that screen cap
of it and assumed that it was like AI generally
no campaign event, and he has a laughing fit that
looks like he's unwell, yeah, he's I think, because this

(13:15):
is the thing like everyone everyone has said that he
is the kind of like he doesn't know how to
work a room, so he leans into it real heavy. Yeah,
and it's off putting to a lot of people because
it's so like transparently just fake.

Speaker 2 (13:28):
But hey, he can't be less.

Speaker 1 (13:32):
He's kind of the Buddha Judge of the right.

Speaker 2 (13:34):
Right, he's like has seems more sincere than this guy.
You know.

Speaker 1 (13:39):
Yeah, it's just like there's like something calculated about.

Speaker 3 (13:43):
But see, okay, I think I know you mean, like buddhajuge.
You can kind of see through it and you're like,
I know, I see your programming that you're running where Buddha.

Speaker 1 (13:53):
Judge, but like he there's just similar things. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (13:55):
Yeah, it's insincere for sure.

Speaker 3 (13:57):
Yes, the way DeSantis does it, you're like, oh, come on,
like what the you're not even trying.

Speaker 1 (14:03):
He actually has like some Hillary vibes where it's like,
you know, trying to be down, trying to be cool
and like just failing at it.

Speaker 3 (14:14):
Yeah, I don't at least where Hillary Clinton was like
trying to court black voters. Run to Sandy's like, I
have I keep a clan hood in my bag, right,
just like you folks that.

Speaker 1 (14:24):
That laugh is wild though I had not, Isn't it
It's interest, It's troubling, like i've it's it's one of
those things that contributes to like all these like donors
and ship being like, oh, this guy's not presidential with
him and then immediately are like, man, he's like he
just doesn't seem to have his like all all his

(14:45):
faculties about him.

Speaker 2 (14:47):
He's in he's in campaign mode. Jack.

Speaker 1 (14:49):
You know, yeah, we could well, his campaign strategy seems
to be make America Florida. That that's like one of
his opening lines at all his campaign stops. And don't
think everybody's on board with that, Like even right wing people,
it feels.

Speaker 2 (15:06):
Yeah, they're like, no, we like your brand of cruelty
to those people there, but like it's more fun for
us to see, not like to be in it. No, right,
we like the cruelty from afar. I think we've made
that clear.

Speaker 3 (15:18):
Is like right wingers, we're not We're very averse to
experiencing any kind of difficulty or trouble to the point
where we will cry and crumble, So we like to
keep it very far away from our experience and we
just like to watch with our popcorn.

Speaker 1 (15:32):
Yeah. Anyways, those are some of the things that are
trending on this Tuesday afternoon. We are back tomorrow with
