Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello, Zech Gang, and welcome to the end of the year.
During these two weeks surrounding Christmas and the New Year,
we take some time off. During the mornings, we'll run
some new holiday and end of the year content that
you can listen to while we're taking a break. This year,
we've got our review of the year at Movies Predictions
for the coming year Santa University. We look back at

(00:22):
some holiday classics with Chris Croft, and so much good
stuff dropping in the mornings. In addition to all that
stuff in the afternoons where we would usually drop the
Trends episode, we are rerunning the ten most popular episodes
of this year according to you. You voted with your
dang years and we listened with ours. Actually, we looked

(00:45):
at the data we're spying on you. Honestly, I'm mostly
in this podcasting thing for the rich marketing data it
provides to me about each and every one of you.

Speaker 2 (01:01):
This was actually my favorite year to look back at.

Speaker 1 (01:04):
Our top ten is full of episodes I feel like
made it because of a bunch of different reasons. There
are some episodes that dropped after huge news events. There
are some first episodes that dropped right after some hilarious
news events, some great new guests, some classic fan favorite guests,
and some new formats we tried out.

Speaker 1 (07:23):
Yeah, but also the like Doctor Dre anytime he's on

You saw this ship?

Speaker 3 (11:20):
Yeah? It was both cool and uncool at the same time,
both cool and uncool.

Speaker 2 (11:25):
Yeah. We saw the clips and we're like, I mean,
seeing anything in there has got to be fucking wild.
But then seeing like the other parts that were just
kind of like this looks kind of like ship.

Speaker 3 (11:34):
There was there were some parts that you were like,
I paid money for the.

Speaker 2 (11:39):
Wait, just what that ship? Yeah? What had you like
that the first what was the first moment you were like.

Speaker 3 (11:43):
Wait, the first moment, but the moment where I was
like this is too far because I had popped a
couple of things had popped up. Yeah, but there was
like a guy there was like people. I'm sure that's
one of the clips that's online. There's like people at
the bottom of the screen. But the bottom of the
screen is right in front of I mean, everything is
right in front of you. But there's like AI people
digital people that it's like, you, guys, cgi exists, Like

(12:06):
you couldn't do a blend of assortment of making a person.
It looks like it looks like my nephew could probably
draw something better for you. It was so it was
like they got people that do not know how to
actually describe human beings well. And it was like robot

(12:26):
and you're like, why would you just cut it out?
I didn't even need it. It's filler, but a bush there,
for God's sake. That was the one that really pissed
me off was this. I was like, I don't need
to look at that because you know, some of the
flowers and shit like it's easy to replicate with Ai,
but the whole person that doesn't exist. Oh my god.
It was so anyways, like the tornado and the because

(12:50):
when the tornado happened, it looks like every people like
there's garbage being thrown at you. It's actually like leaves,
like tiny paper leaves. And they're so cute. I saved one.

Speaker 2 (12:58):
That's much better than garbage.

Speaker 3 (13:00):
Way better than garbage, little throat.

Speaker 2 (13:05):
Api.

Speaker 3 (13:06):
It's a keepsake that is cute.

Speaker 2 (13:08):
It was very cute.

Speaker 3 (13:09):
And and then the apples that came out of the sky.
You know, people really were waiting for that. I didn't
really I didn't know ship about this. I just saw
the hilarious clips and I was like, I'm down. My
friend since she was going, I said, I'm in. I
want to do something. You got to see it at
ten in the morning. You know, I don't.

Speaker 1 (13:24):
Remember the apples part from Wizardy.

Speaker 3 (13:26):
The Apple there's a little like like like I don't
want to come plush. They're like felt apples. They come
out of the sky because there's a point where the
tree shakes and drops apples in the movie. And yeah,
and so they make this huge tree. It looks really cool.
I mean the the the nature aspects of the of
how they extended and made it, you know bigger. That

(13:48):
was really cool. You're like, well, and I took an edible,
so I was really into it.

Speaker 2 (13:54):
That ship.

Speaker 3 (13:54):
Yeah, it was. It was great. In fact, there was
a lady, Oh my god, the fucking but the getting
to your seats is crazy. It's so steep. Yeah, I
actually like, h like, I as soon as I walked
and I was like whoa and I went back. We're like,
oh my god, like this is like legit a frightening
experiences to walk down to your seat. And then there

(14:15):
we were not right next to the aisles, two ladies
and then us, and when everyone got up to leave,
everyone like rushed out. You know, we were we were
not in a rush because I was like, I'm not
trying to stumble and fumble the big ass fucking feet
I have through these narrow little like I can't. It's
got to be so uncomfortable for so many different types
of people to be in there. And uh so we

(14:36):
were like we're on a rush. And then the ladies
next to us were like, are you guys in a rush?
We're like, oh, we're not in a rush and the
lady was like, yeah, these these it's like really dizzying.

Speaker 1 (14:43):
You know.

Speaker 3 (14:43):
And I'm I'm you know, I'm older, and I go, yeah,
I'm on edibles. We're also not in a rush, and
she was like an equivalent and she goes, oh my god,
my son told me that I should take some before
I came here, and I said, no, no, that's going
to be too much.

Speaker 2 (14:59):
No, no, yes, trouble with the police. She fucked up.
All right, Marcella, we're gonna get to know.

Speaker 3 (15:06):
You a little bit better information.

Speaker 1 (15:10):
I need more. A couple of things we're talking about.
We're gonna talk about teenage going to Memphis. There's like
a big Memphis pep rally for fascism. Uh so we'll
talk about that. We'll talk about Pete Hegseth just melting
down behind the scenes after he fucking bombed in front

(15:34):
of the most powerful people in the military. He's now
making everybody to everybody do a lie detector tests. Marriage, Yeah, yeah, exactly.
We'll talk about mainstream comedians being fucking losers, and the
Google AI Trump dementia blackout is not willing to wait

(15:58):
on weather whether there's anything going on there the Ghulay.
I will give you a fucking answer on anything. There's
no better way to show there's nothing to see here
than erasing everything.

Speaker 2 (16:09):
Yeah, oh my god.

Speaker 1 (16:15):
That's plenty more. But first, Marcela, we do like to
ask our guests, what is something from your search history
that's revealing about who you are?

Speaker 3 (16:23):
My search last week I googled is boat cruises in
Chicago because the weather is still nice here, it's bout
eight degrees for the next few days, and my friend's visiting,
so we want to see the architecture and maybe some
ice agents attacking citizens from a helicopter of.

Speaker 2 (16:38):
What is going on?

Speaker 3 (16:40):
I can't enjoy anything?

Speaker 2 (16:42):
Yeah? Was that yes, last night where they came out
of me. Let's get a little little what there's trendy here? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (16:52):
Huh yeah, I said a Chiles.

Speaker 1 (16:54):
Oh Jesus Christ, they're serving Aowa frescas.

Speaker 3 (17:03):
Yeah, so that's the last thing a googles with boat
cruises because I was like, but I saw that literally
probably the But within a day of doing that, there
was that image of the ice ags like doing pr
for themselves and they're like on the on the Chicago River, Like, yeah,
do you see that they're like with a camera and

(17:23):
it's awful.

Speaker 2 (17:24):
They're in the macarena. Yeah, it was gross.

Speaker 3 (17:27):
I was like, oh my god, you can't go anywhere.

Speaker 1 (17:29):
Giving out Halloween candy that was donated. We talked about
that in the past year, where when you donate Halloween
candy it goes to the US military, Like they're like
the US military is like care packages, but what they
actually do is use it to like bribe the locals.
Oh yeah, foreign countries and now probably an hour country. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (17:51):
Oh, I mean they've been bribing children in our country. Yeah,
you know, I mean, how else do you plant crack
on a father? You know what I mean? Sure, you know,
just a little trick Aru swip swap. It's pretty easy.

Speaker 1 (18:03):
Swaps.

Speaker 2 (18:04):
Been bribing me since g I Joe.

Speaker 3 (18:06):
It was like the first thing that I liked, which
brings me to what I find underrated.

Speaker 2 (18:11):
Hell yeah, great transition transition line.

Speaker 3 (18:15):
Because what I really am irritated with because nowadays, when
you buy stuff, it's just you get stuff whatever. There
was a time where there'd be so many freebies, there'd
be so many free items with the purchase, whether think
of cereal boxes with an actual toy inside, ideel like
maybe a sticker, right, But there was always some some giveaway.

(18:36):
There was we used we used to have and from
the fucking origins of giving of selling crap, people were
always giving ship away. And we have finally gotten to
the point where you rarely see that. So you're not
getting something cool, something extra, something to play with, even
even happy meals. Remember when we had happy meals as children.

(18:57):
The happy meal box was a toy in itself. You
could there have like, you know, the little perforated shit and.

Speaker 2 (19:02):
Yeah, barn door and yeah.

Speaker 3 (19:03):
You would have a barn door and you could play
with the toy fully in it and immerse yourself in
the little cardboard toy. And then if you had like
siblings or a group, there was eras where they would
make it. We're like, oh, they all connected. If you
did this one thing, and you can you can build
a mansion or whatever. And we and then and then
what happened. Then we got the points, they got the

(19:25):
fucking Pepsi points and the Marble miles. And that's when
companies really started being like, wait, this is how much
people are willing to spend for free crap. Woo, let's
fucking see how far we can take this, and now
we're in a position where nobody gets free nothing ever
at all.

Speaker 2 (19:41):
Ever. I remember est Man free with your sixty dollars
purchase of landscape.

Speaker 3 (19:47):
Bag, four or five items, you can get a lot
of items.

Speaker 1 (19:50):
I was living off of the cool water free samples
that you would get. Like my friend lived near a
book store. You just go through there. You never had
to buy cologne. You just got like as many free samples.

Speaker 2 (20:02):
I was wearing. There was an error for like two years.
I was wearing Nautica Sport cologne, all samples I never thought,
never bought. I just re upped at them all every time.

Speaker 3 (20:10):
Yeah. And it's also like, yeah, because you were too
young to be buying a bottle of cologne anyway exactly.
You know, It's like, no, it's training you to eventually
be that consumer. But I hate this thing where like
everyone is expected to consume high quality all the time
at five years old or whatever, soon as a kid
can get a phone. It's fucking it's so it's really

(20:30):
taking the funt. I realized, I'm like, why is this
not fun to shop anymore? Because it used to be
even not that too many years ago. The pandemic. Shut
that shit down. But you can go to S four
also wherever whatever be sort okay, they get a sample
of this even like you could ask them to try
something that's in the story. They don't do that shit anymore.

Speaker 2 (20:47):
Either, really, maximum will they do your makeup with the
mac counter?

Speaker 3 (20:50):
If you buy shit, you have to buy a certain amount.
That's always been I feel like that. I think that's
the hardest to get rid of. But let me tell
you something about that too, is now with you know,
the popularity of places like Sepphora. They do offer, but
now it's like you do have to spend and at support.
It used to be you didn't have to, you know,
you could just go in and do something real quick whatever.
So it is like starting to change because they realize

(21:11):
people are going to go in there and take advantage.
But also you can say, you guys got to figure
out a way to obviously control that. If you can't, man,
don't fucking change the whole ship for everybody.

Speaker 1 (21:21):
Yeah, I want I have just one so profoundly they
like now they don't even they like charge us whatever
they want. I don't know, Well, it seems like you'll
pay for this coming get it. It used to be
little piggies. Shouldn't we give them like a little treat
with that purchase. I mean, they are spending a lot
of money, and now it's like, man, I fuck them.

Speaker 3 (21:39):
I don't even get a fucking cube to charge my
fucking phone that I just bought and spend money on.
I get the cord and I said, phones out here,
we should all we should at those prices. We should
be getting all that ship for free. Still, it's crazy.

Speaker 1 (21:54):
Everything's yeah, they just shake it out into a trough.
Now I just want to.

Speaker 3 (21:59):
I just want to mind people not to spend so much.
We gotta we really need that.

Speaker 1 (22:04):
I've been talking about that that like I think the whole.

Speaker 2 (22:09):
Marcella.

Speaker 1 (22:09):
I was actually talking about this the other day on
my podcast, on my podcast The Daily Zite Guys. But
all that ship where they were talking about like removing
like friction from the consuming process, where it's just like
you just hit a button and now we're all just
like sitting in our houses. I think that is helping
them drive inflation. Like they can just charge whatever they

(22:30):
fuck they want because nobody's noticing, because they've made it
so simple to charge everything, and like everything's on a
fucking subscription and ship.

Speaker 2 (22:39):
I remember my parents are like mailing checks to pay
their bills. You know, it was so hard I did.

Speaker 3 (22:45):
I did yesterday mail a check to pay a city
because these motherfuckers if you don't pay with the check,
they'll find a way to charge you.

Speaker 2 (22:52):
Chat motherfucker outs out here, that right, Yeah, to balance
your check book.

Speaker 3 (22:58):
I guess how to balance my check anymore?

Speaker 1 (23:00):
Now?

Speaker 2 (23:02):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (23:02):
Yeah, you know, I saw my checkbook here that I've
had since I was like nineteen. It's the Simpsons.

Speaker 2 (23:09):
The cover leather. That's actually and that's well made, you
know what I mean? Like, yeah, it's cool check book cover.
Now that should the last fucking three weeks.

Speaker 3 (23:18):
This is leather, guys, the Simpsons leather checkbook. Okay, this
is when consumerism meant something.

Speaker 2 (23:23):
Yes, right, when your favorite characters are on your capitalist
function function paper.

Speaker 3 (23:29):
Guys, we're talking in circles, aren't we? We making no sense? Anyways,
Guys like and subscribe us on wherever streaming service is
exploiting the people that are contributing to the streaming service.

Speaker 2 (23:39):
Anyways, Anyways, what's something you think is overrated?

Speaker 3 (23:42):
Oh? I usually do one and the same so I
feel like we talked enough about that, okay.

Speaker 2 (23:50):
Always Yeah, I'm good. I think we did.

Speaker 3 (23:58):
That's cool.

Speaker 2 (23:58):
I think we did.

Speaker 3 (23:59):
One on from that. Oh wait here, wait, I did
write this down in regards to that is. Uh, companies
realize how gretty they can be, how much we'd be
willing to spend, like we're gambling.

Speaker 1 (24:10):
Yeah, yeah, it's all casino. We're all gamblers casino. Now
we're playing with our lives. Yeah, all right, we're gonna
take a quick break. We're gonna come back. We're gonna
talk about the news. We'll be right back.

Speaker 2 (24:33):
Were black, dam.

Speaker 3 (24:37):
I didn't I didn't you have a break on that one.
I don't like when you breathed, Jack.

Speaker 2 (24:42):
I know, I'm sorry. It's too much off you hear
when he last he goes, wait, it's a good way
to laugh without breathing. You want to cook his ass
if he he actually laughed like them. Yeah, I'd be

(25:03):
like you, always.

Speaker 3 (25:04):
Trying to show off those nice teeth. I'll always find
the way.

Speaker 2 (25:08):
Oh so you want to know, so you think you
tarzan on some o?

Speaker 3 (25:13):
It's always something.

Speaker 2 (25:15):
Yeah, I'm a sick Yeah.

Speaker 1 (25:19):
Yeah, let's talk about teenage mute and Gus.

Speaker 2 (25:23):
Yeah, so the yeah, the fash Across America tour has
made its Memphis stop, and Pam Bondie, Pete hag Seth
and teenage Uni Ninja Gerbels Steven Miller dropped in to
have like another just having to watch these pep rallies
where a bunch of fucking federal like troops and agents
just have to hear some guys scream at them. I

(25:44):
guess that's like the theme of the week. So they
did that. They gathered all this law enforcement to basically
be like, you know what, you guys are fucking unleashed,
which is fucking terrifying because why the fuck is heg Seth,
the fucking Secretary of Defense in an American city telling
troops you'll fucking have at it, because they're just clearly

(26:05):
trying to make the agents and troops feel like they're
above the law.

Speaker 1 (26:08):
Trump told on himself when he was like me and
Pete has been talking that like it would be cool
to train the military on our cities, So it would
be cool. Yeah, very cool, Donald, very very cool. That
seems wildly illegtical.

Speaker 2 (26:21):
Yeah, but hey, you know what, like the teenage Mutant
Ninja Turtles they're also radical. Ninja Gebels got on stage
and I don't know this. He's every time Steven Miller speaks,
it's just some whiny bullshit where it's just like big
like you're not tough behavior, and he's he's on the run.

Speaker 3 (26:40):
He every I think I've seen three clips of him
total in my whole life of him talking, and so
this is probably the third one. And I'm always it's
always so jarring. Yeah, well, it just doesn't match. None
of it matches, any of it when you're saying how
he's delivering it. His body movements, nothing matches.

Speaker 2 (26:58):
Yeah, And Marcella, look, you've grown on people who've grown
up around people who don't take ship. You know what
I mean?

Speaker 3 (27:03):
You know, you know no, I used to run MS
thirteenth kid not get myself India.

Speaker 2 (27:11):
I mean, I think, like anybody, just let's assess his
men quote unquote menacing speech here really getting the troop.

Speaker 3 (27:19):
With the men in menacing.

Speaker 2 (27:21):
But there was a.

Speaker 4 (27:22):
Square inch of block in this city where a citizen
doesn't feel safe.

Speaker 2 (27:26):
It is unacceptable.

Speaker 4 (27:28):
This is Memphis, this is the United States of America.

Speaker 3 (27:33):
What I want the listeners to listen for as a
bully the way I listen. First, you first, you have
to listen for a speech impediment. There's history of it there.
You can hear it. It's really got a good ear
if you have a well trained ear like me, I
have be't bullied childhood, bullying kid. Sorry, that's just my history.
I've learned to use it for good, but started rough. Okay,

(27:55):
you can really hear previous history of a speech impediment,
which also so explains a lot of how he says things. Okay,
go hit the blak.

Speaker 1 (28:03):
Okay, well, ship is done, it's over, it's finished.

Speaker 3 (28:10):
You can hear what.

Speaker 1 (28:14):
You know.

Speaker 4 (28:14):
The the gang bangers that you deal with, they think
that they're ruthless.

Speaker 2 (28:19):
They have no idea how ruthless we are. They think
they're tough.

Speaker 3 (28:23):
They have no idea how they we are.

Speaker 2 (28:27):
They think that they're hardcore. We are so much more
hardcore than they are.

Speaker 3 (28:32):
Please, someone needs to sample this. I hope some famous
hip hopper, right, Jess uses it. Maybe Kendrick can do another.
If you need to do another, drink this you can.
This is so we are so hardcore.

Speaker 2 (28:45):
This could be no idea how hardcore we are?

Speaker 3 (28:49):
What the hardcore?

Speaker 2 (28:51):
They think they're tough, they're hardcore.

Speaker 4 (28:53):
We are so much more hardcore than they are.

Speaker 2 (28:56):
This is the This is again like the Marcella. This
is why we were going to talk about this in
an earlier after soode and I was like, I need
Marcella because I know, Marcella. You're You're the the hair,
your bully hairs on the back of your neck are
shooting up being like this bitch ass, this punk ass
bitch right now. You think you think we're so much

(29:17):
more hardcore? Like that is the saddest fucking sentence I've
ever heard, is we're so much more hardcore than they are.

Speaker 3 (29:24):
It's it also sounds like how he talked to kids
in junior high like he hasn't grown up. Ye, I
always thought that was the way to talk your hardcore.

Speaker 2 (29:33):
I'm glod. Yeah, Like the West Side Connection album had
just come out, and he's like, you think you're gangster,
We're a gangster. You think your hardcore? We are so
much more hardcore. Okay, we are.

Speaker 3 (29:46):
We're so hardcore. It's just a perfloruous amount of hardcore
than we are.

Speaker 2 (29:51):
This actually is frivil It's frivolous. The levels of hardcore.

Speaker 3 (29:57):
I wanted that to go on and on.

Speaker 2 (30:00):
Oh, I mean, it's there, it does. He goes on
to basically say, you know why I'm hardcore because I'll
have the entire US military come after field. So you're
very tough, much more hardcore than they are.

Speaker 4 (30:12):
And we have the entire weight of the United States
government behind us.

Speaker 3 (30:15):
What do they have hard you guys? Hear that behind us.

Speaker 4 (30:19):
So we are gonna win. They are gonna lose. We
are gonna rescue Memphis, and it will not only be
safer than ever before, but businesses and investment are going
to pour in and Memphis will be richer than ever
before because President Trump has the side of the priority.
And when President Trump makes a decision, this team behind
me today execuse Okay.

Speaker 2 (30:39):
So yeah, for everybody out there in Memphis, I mean,
I don't know, I barely know anything about Memphis, tennant Key,
but I don't think. I don't think anyone's hardcore there
from from It's what I know from nothing. Memphis.

Speaker 3 (30:53):
Oh yeah, you love. I do love this representation. It's
very b for Vendetta. I love this representation of like
a leader of the United States, like threatening gangs, like
this is a ship that they used to sample in
the nineties, except yeah, it didn't sound corny like this.

Speaker 2 (31:10):
Do you know what I mean?

Speaker 1 (31:11):
It's too over the top, like it is from a
movie that yeah, where like the performance is like that's
a little much, but all right, Like it's just it
seems like he studied like pathetic eighties movie villains to like, yes,
perform this speech, like yeah, how do we like set
tea something up so when this person falls flat on

(31:31):
their face, every everybody can feel fucking awesome. That feels
like the express like subtextual purpose of the writing behind
this scene.

Speaker 3 (31:41):
Do you think that the blood was rushing through his
veins like he felt a high? Do you think he
was high?

Speaker 2 (31:47):
No? Look, you know how na hardcore this dude. I
bet he is shatter off. He's on speed.

Speaker 1 (31:53):
Yeah, he'll take someone that a doctor or he's probably
I think like this whole administration is flying on adderall
I think we're gonna talk.

Speaker 3 (32:01):
I mean, I'm saying he doesn't even seem like he
does it. I'm saying like his wife finally gave him
black cherry pepsi and he was like, you think he's
on some lady, You think he's on some Latter Day
Saints ship where he's like chocolate milk, motherfucker, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (32:17):
Don't talk to me.

Speaker 1 (32:18):
I had chocolate milk this morning and said a regular
milk him fucking freaking out right now, I do feel
like both in this speech and the heggs Out speech
where Heggsaut got up in front of the generals and
was like delivering a similar speech that had like parts
built in where you can tell they thought that there
was going to be like fucking swelling applause and they

(32:41):
have they have ox cord buzz, like it's always just
got the room buzz.

Speaker 3 (32:47):
So so here's the thing that's funny about that to
me is that when you're a comedian and you watch
other comedians and you watch them pause for laughter, that
is my favorite moment of silence. Now I have to
watch this with that in mind, because I'm really because
I'm realizing that I don't think I was watching that

(33:07):
with like comedy brain in mind, But now I want
to rewatch it with the comedy the positive because the
posites are always so funny in comedy. When people there's
a couple of people with specials that they're like, I
need you to applause, and then there's the crowds. They go, oh,
we'replausing right now. Okay, I love a force with sause break.

Speaker 2 (33:23):
That was a joke, folks. Yeah, if you.

Speaker 3 (33:26):
Watch my HBO Max Bushel, there's a moment in the
special where I say, please stop applouding. I don't have
time for that because some of us will write jokes
to the point that we don't need.

Speaker 2 (33:34):
I don't need to plot.

Speaker 3 (33:35):
Your laughter is enough. I need to move on.

Speaker 2 (33:40):
Amazing, so hard.

Speaker 3 (33:44):
I was so hard for my special, the most hardcore all.

Speaker 1 (33:48):
These spec There's words traveling about another comedian who just
taped a special that went less well that we're not
going to talk about.

Speaker 3 (33:56):
But THEO is a dumb piece of ship from it. Yeah, yeah,
I do have a new podcast coming out, Comedy is
Dead season two, with a new guest host, Colod Michaela
who is based in Chicago. We have it should be
coming out next week. I'm really I'm doing you know,
we don't do planned drops anymore, right, guys, we just
dropped the ship. We're in a society where and there's

(34:17):
no preparing for anyone to listen, right, nothing matters anymore anyway,
so we're dropping two episodes at once because we recorded
an emergency episode because we wanted to talk about the
thing we're going to talk about later on here. But
we get into that Theovon thing thing, So you guys
don't have to talk about. But I'm letting the old
listen know that if they want, they.

Speaker 2 (34:37):
Hear your commentary because I know you're not going to
hold back.

Speaker 3 (34:40):
I don't hold back, but I do think that you
wouldn't know what on one next.

Speaker 1 (34:44):
Okay, and and that I'm too kind of a related story,
I just like, did you Marcella watch Pete haig Seth's
speech to like all the Pentagon generals, like all the
military brass where he wait wait.

Speaker 3 (34:57):
Wait was that the one where okay, wait colol.

Speaker 1 (34:59):
Sorry, he's like he's got a giant flag behind him
and he's like talking about how like you guys are
too fat essentially, but like you know, just giving this
speech that again, same energy, same like you know, I've
I've pumped myself up. I've delivered this speech in the
mirror twenty times. But like you can tell there's nothing
behind it. You can tell that he's like very scared.

(35:21):
So anyways, that speech went very badly, just dead silence, no,
like not even polite.

Speaker 2 (35:27):
Collaps and no, they were basically commanded. They were attention.
They're like all right, sorry, stand up.

Speaker 1 (35:36):
But so the fallout from that is there's a fallout
all he's now starting to institute random polygraph tests for
people who work in the Pentagon. That people are they're
saying it's to stop happening, to stop leaks, but I
guarantee there are questions on like how good does.

Speaker 2 (35:59):
Pete look a suit? Though? Yeah? Like he I mean, and.

Speaker 1 (36:03):
That that was a cool speech though, wasn't it?

Speaker 3 (36:06):
Like it was Jack put me on the right now
he didn't bomb up there?

Speaker 1 (36:13):
Right, is not a word that we would use in
relation to that. Just in the machine is smoking on fire.

Speaker 2 (36:23):
No, that was sick, man, that was so so sick.

Speaker 3 (36:25):
You're so good at lifting us up. Yeah, Jesus blinking,
I saw that that that Spider Man or that's what
that moment is, what when the spider Man mean when
they're just other, Yeah, got it doing that doing the

(36:47):
polygraph with Pete.

Speaker 2 (36:48):
Doing the polygraph.

Speaker 1 (36:50):
The Pentagon's calling the reporting that he's subjecting people to
random polygraph has untrue and irresponsible which is which is
the new catchphrase they're using for like any report, because
they made journalists sign NDAs to be like anything that
you report that we don't approve could be like you're
basically the enemy at this.

Speaker 2 (37:10):
Point, like the good countries do.

Speaker 3 (37:12):
Yeah, yeah, like that Saudi Arabia fs what we're going
to talk about later.

Speaker 2 (37:15):
Okay, yeah, right now, right now, let's get I mean,
I mean, first, I'm just generally right like, looking at
the state of mainstream quote unquote comedience, it's so fucking
depressing right now, Like yeah, just for starters, right, like
a fallon is not funny. But unfortunately he is my
favorite codium.

Speaker 3 (37:33):
But okay, I had such a I was such a
fan girl when I was like fifteen, and I'm like,
that's where I should have stayed.

Speaker 2 (37:39):
Yeah, he was little, I mean I get it at
the time, like his appeal was he was like the
qutie guy who was always cracking up on stage and
energy where.

Speaker 3 (37:46):
He used to be finn I mean, he used to
be more chiseled. You know, he didn't have a drinking
problem yet. Yeah, So it was growing, it was coming,
It was happening in front of our eyes.

Speaker 2 (37:56):
This was this was him. He went on CNBC to
promote like some new show he doing, but he was
asked by the host on CNBC's like, Hey, what's it
like being a late night host in this era of
like FCC threats and how does that in free speech?
And this is just like the very you know, with
his chest out, no fluttering, straightforward breeve answer he gave,

(38:18):
I am wondering how you're thinking about what you can
put in a monologue.

Speaker 1 (38:23):
What it's like being on an FCC licensed avenue?

Speaker 2 (38:27):
Are broadcasting rights?

Speaker 5 (38:29):
You know, our show's never really been that political. You know,
we hit both sides equally, and we try to make
everybody laugh. And that's really the way our show really works.
I Mean, our monologues are kind of, you know, the
same that we've been doing since Johnny Carson was doing
the Tonight Show. So really, I just keep my head

(38:49):
down and make sure the jokes are funny. I have
great writers, clever, smart writers, and we just yeah, we're
just trying to make the best show we possibly can it.

Speaker 2 (38:58):
We're gonna keep I'm gonna keep my head down. Is
mad at me.

Speaker 1 (39:03):
We're actually not like Jimmy Kim, like famed radical political
ideologist Jimmy Kimmel, This is essentially like what he's saying.

Speaker 2 (39:14):
Crazy, We're not like that shit, Yeah right, we're just
you know, we have both sides. We normalized Trump, you know,
that's kind of our thing, but you also like to
hit both sides.

Speaker 1 (39:23):
Let me touch his hair, which was a fun moment.

Speaker 2 (39:25):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (39:26):
The Felon thing is interesting because he was never political. Yeah,
and I think about God, somebody recently did, Like God,
I wish I could find it. But they were talking
about how it wasn't until more recent presidents that president
started going on late shows because like, he brings up Carson,
but Carson didn't have presidents on his shows, you know,

(39:49):
so it's like, you can't compare yourself to that, because
Carson did sometimes teeter the line in terms of humor,
and it's frustrating to watch him make that comparison because
it's like, dude, you're so you're right that you have
never been political, but to compare yourself or bring up
Johnny Carson is not correct.

Speaker 2 (40:07):
Yeah. Yeah, it's just interesting to see him squirm a
bit because like I think he knows he's like, damn,
this is such an l for me, but he.

Speaker 3 (40:13):
Doesn't want to be there. He wants to be drinking.

Speaker 2 (40:15):
He ends up talking like somebody like on Cops who
got pulled over, like be a suspected drunk. He's like, no,
this is what I do kind of like all the time.

Speaker 3 (40:22):
Just like he definitely looks like he's lying to his wife.

Speaker 2 (40:25):
You know, you can hear in the voice when someone's
just being like really detaching themselves from the answer they're giving.
And that was just.

Speaker 3 (40:34):
So up, but detaching themselves because I think he really
believes that. I think he actually probably has never wanted
to ever put his toe into any political side of it,
Like he gets tucked into it, do you know what
I mean? Like, that's what I'm saying, is him specifically,
I'm not surprised that he's detached. What's frustrating is like,
if you're so detached and why did you why do

(40:55):
you have these people on your shows? Then yeah, exactly
it's really pathetic.

Speaker 2 (41:00):
Is it Elliott or is it one mic? But yeah,
the we odd comedy thing. I was just reading this
thing where Pete david I knew I saw Pete Davison
on the line up, and I was like, Okay, you're
a comedian, like a stand up like that.

Speaker 3 (41:12):
But also and his dad died in nine to eleven.
There's firefighter.

Speaker 2 (41:18):
That's just the wildest thing. Like I really couldn't wrap
my head around that. There's like this clip of him
on THEO Vonn's podcast. We're talking about it, and he's like, yeah,
I guess because like, you know, my dad like died
of nine to eleven or something like, I guess, I'm
I guess I shouldn't like be going or whatever.

Speaker 3 (41:35):
And like, just everybody, can we just pause and celebrate
this Pete Davidson impression. And it's really fantastic. I wasn't expecting.
I wasn't expecting to.

Speaker 2 (41:43):
Hear that you gotta you gotta gotta get it where
you fit.

Speaker 3 (41:47):
It was really good.

Speaker 2 (41:48):
I just watched the clip, but like it's just again,
really it sounds like you.

Speaker 3 (41:51):
Were watching it all morning and jerking off to it
so you can get the sound, right.

Speaker 2 (41:54):
I was, I was edging. Okay, I'm not quite full
full blown j oh, but you know I was. I
was walking the line that's uh, what's what's Johnny Cash says,
but like hearing him say that articulated and also he
goes on to say like, yeah, they're paying me enough
money to look the other way. M hmm, Like this
is what other comedians have said or in some form
of like like weird equivocating. I think Jim Jeffries though,

(42:17):
he got pulled off because he's like, yeah, so they
killed a journalist, like so we don't do that all
the time, and they're like, Okay, you can't say that,
so now you're not going.

Speaker 3 (42:24):
To come yeah because they haven't admitted it.

Speaker 2 (42:26):
So yeah, yeah I am.

Speaker 3 (42:29):
I will also say with the Pete stuff, because his
is the one I think my brain has been, like,
like I get sad for the legacy. You know, people
are always like my legacy a firefighter they care about,
you know, the legacy they leave behind and their family name.
You know, if you're a firefighter, you're you land mentally
in like the traditionalist space like I want to be
a hero, I want to be a man. I want

(42:50):
to do something with my life, you know. And it's
a bummer. And then you also go, yeah, Pete's just
an American, Like he is just so American that he
do why would he care about it?

Speaker 1 (43:01):
Like I don't, like he's not connecting it like that,
and he's like, I don't know my dad died and
now are you know? Yeah, it was like a long
time ago, and we like won a war about that
or whatever. I think, don't I didn't really pay attention.

Speaker 3 (43:13):
I haven't. I lost enough with my dead father. You
take this money away from me. But it's that thing
where I mean, I think we have this and everybody
in our family. That's why I think we should be
talking about this type of shit, because like, how many
of your parents give a shit about international politics? Mine did,
But that's because we're from Al Salvador and nic Agua.
You know, there's a long history there. You were supposed

(43:34):
to care.

Speaker 2 (43:35):
Yeah, and America is a front row seat at all
the destabilization in those places too, So like exactly, you'll
be well aware of how all that the international relationships
work there for sure.

Speaker 3 (43:45):
And so with someone like him, he just strikes me
as that American that just is like, well, it's not
affecting me, right, even though we know that it is,
yecause all these fucking rich people are all in cahoots.
But you know, you know who we should say in
the way Mikayla brought this up is that Jessica Curson
because she's gay and Jewish. She's the one that she

(44:07):
was like, she's gonna have interesting stories when she comes back.

Speaker 1 (44:09):
Yeah, she does.

Speaker 2 (44:10):
People were exciting some of her old stuff that she
said and like on stage and just in interviews and
talking about how she's like, Yo, female comedians basically don't
exist over there because they can't say shit. And she
was saying something to the effect of, like, we have
it so good here that we're able to do this
material and then sort of the underneath all that is
like hearing about these like agreements they're signing to be like, well,

(44:32):
not fucking say anything that will bring any anyone.

Speaker 3 (44:36):
Into ill repute, Isn't that wild?

Speaker 1 (44:38):
Super producer Victor points. I guess Bill Birrd did a
bit where he slammed Beyonce for going over there and
then also said he would one take the deal to.

Speaker 3 (44:47):
Oh yeah, that's right, he does do that. That's like
how he ends it, I believe, right, It's like the
punchline is, hey, I'm not better, I'm just pointing it out,
which you know that's what's going on here. Yeah, And
he also tried to be like in America and it's like, yeah,
but the whole killing a journalist kind of puts it
over the edge.

Speaker 2 (45:04):
Or I mean just generally, right, like if you can't
you can't really be some kind of as a comedian, right,
Like you have to be a proponent for free speech
because your careers are built on the backs of people
before where that they could not say things because of
decency laws or things like that. And I'm not saying
that philosophs. I mean like in a utopia philosophically they

(45:24):
would be aligned with that. But to your point, Marcella,
it is true. It's the same way where like people
are like, well, yeah, i'mnna wear nikes, I'm gonna have
an iPhone, Like I don't really give a fuck like
that really, Like if it comes down to it and
I'm not they're not gonna It's not like they're taking
me to a prison to go execute somebody. I'm I'm
getting paid and people are gonna fucking maybe laugh and
then I fucking skate with millions exactly.

Speaker 3 (45:44):
And we were my friend and I cause we were
we were like we wanted to watch to be together,
but we both had to do something at a certain time,
and we was like we had a little bit of time,
so we're like, what can we watch that? Like, we
don't care if we miss what we're watching that we
both agree on, and we agreed on old Bob bark
On Polut of TV. There's like an old episodes, like
from the fucking og days where he still dyed his

(46:06):
hair brown. That was always funny. We were watching those
episodes and I was like, oh, this is interesting because
this is the early days of like TV getting kind
of spicy during the day, and you know, he says
shit that you're like, oh, yeah, you're not supposed you
can't say that, and uh, it just made me be like, man,
the history of entertainment, this crossover with television versus like vaudeville.

(46:27):
You know that because in vaudeville you did have the
person that was hired to say the political shit. You know,
like there was always that act of us. Of course,
avin you didn't want that, but there was always a
There was always the act that just you were allowed
to have someone push things over to the edge because
you were in public and free speech was free speech.
It's this weird space we're in where it's like a
scrambled egg of the history the past, the future, the present,

(46:52):
and all these entertainers that claim to be Oh what
we love Lady Bruce, But technically you don't if you're
going to this fest and accepting this money. You know.
But I also know that the research I've done as
an entertainer is I have learned that if people say
they wanted to be famous when they were a kid,

(47:12):
these are people. These are the people that fuck up
and have no morals and real ethics.

Speaker 2 (47:17):
Eventually that's the end. Yet it's just I have to
be famous, yeah, because.

Speaker 3 (47:22):
That's always been their goal. I have never thought of that.
I wanted to be a teacher my whole life, and
then I was like, well, shit, I don't think I
want to do that. What do I want to do?
And you know, make a list, and you know, comedy
ended up on that list from someone else suggesting it
to me, not even me thinking I was going to
pursue the arts, and I've made a fine career from it.

(47:42):
But it could also be argued that many people would
look at my career and look down on it and
be like, your career isn't shit because I'm not fucking
hello rich and I'm not you know, yeah, no, but
I'm doing fine in terms of like how I've maintained
my self respect and who I am as a person,
my morals, my ethics, my family history, you know what.

(48:02):
I'm trying to respect them. And that's the difference, because
I could have been taking so much. Dude, these motherfuckers.
Uh honey, Booboo's mom was doing a reality show and
they wanted me to be a head writer, like in
twenty seventy, twenty eighteen, and it would have been good money. Yeah,
I was like, I'm not participating in that nonsense. My
team was taste because they were giving it to me.

(48:24):
There was a gig I could just take, and I
was like, I'm not doing that. I'd rather do stand
up and be on the road. So there's choices you
make as a comedian and as an entertainer. And it's
someone who's going to be on TV. But you know,
in America, you can't really fucking at the end of
the day, all the answers are wrong. You're in America.
We are everyone's demon, you know, around the world. Guys,
I'm high. This is what happens.

Speaker 1 (48:45):
Hey, we are demon though we are demon. Yeah, I'm
reading the history of comedy book where they book it's
called the comedians thought, oh yeah, but they like I
And mainly I just like skipped right to the sixties
part because I couldn't deal with like the very old
ship and.

Speaker 3 (49:03):
You know, ps, guys, I say, books, there's no skipping.
You can read whatever book you want. Jack, Okay, let
the let the bars.

Speaker 2 (49:12):
That's what I do. I go to go to the
last three pages I read those. I'll go done.

Speaker 3 (49:16):
That's because you're stupid, though, That's that's true.

Speaker 2 (49:19):
But I was surprised by how much like there were
a lot of shows that, like The Smothers Brothers I
guess were like a.

Speaker 1 (49:27):
Show that went political at a certain point, and like
they got canceled for it and were like their careers
were really damaged for going political. So like there has
been this censorship for a long time. And I remember,
like this came up in the context of Lorne Michaels
because Lorne Michael's like went to a show a year
after they were canceled, and they were like getting heckled

(49:49):
by John Lennon who was just like shit faced and
heckling them, and he was like, all right, I never
want to do anything that's going to get me canceled
from TV.

Speaker 2 (50:00):
That's funny. So that's why he gave us Jimmy Fallon.

Speaker 3 (50:03):
That's me and then and then also with this mother's brothers.
It's interesting because Martin Short and Steve Martin were kind
of in that space. You know, they were young, and
it's cool to watch them go on Fallon and talk
ship because they come from the era of like, now, dog,
we were political, Like you think we're some easy going
sweetye pies, but actually we have always been political because

(50:24):
that is their history, because that's just that's that's where
they come from. So I love that they did that.
That was a you know, and everybody to get to
see it or appreciate.

Speaker 2 (50:31):
Yeah, when they're like, he's like, oh, I'm more of
a gut Feld guy because Gutfeld was on like the
night before, two nights before. Yeah, and he's like and
it's because he's like, Okay, so you know you're gonna
act like I'm not talking ship directly to Okay.

Speaker 3 (50:44):
He's a put like you pussy, He just called him up.
That's you want to talk about who's more hardcore? Steve
Morton Okay, And they come from that but that that's
that whole world. It's like it's all fucking again. It's
all mixed in a really fucked up diarrhea bowl nonsense.
Put that on a T shirt.

Speaker 1 (51:03):
Oh yeah, diarrhea bowl of nonsense. Let's take a quick break.

Speaker 3 (51:07):
Drive and then we'll come back do our last.

Speaker 2 (51:08):
Let's second about the diarrhea bowl of nonsense. We'll be
right back.

Speaker 3 (51:22):
Man, we're back.

Speaker 1 (51:24):
We're back.

Speaker 3 (51:25):
As I got yelled at Jack and Miles told me
I'm talking too much. They said, I can't do it.

Speaker 2 (51:31):
The fuck was that diarrhea bowl thing?

Speaker 3 (51:34):
You know, we were talking about freedom of speech, but
you are just babbling and it's like them of speech,
and they're like, no, it's not anyways, it's the whole thing.
I got one of their producers fired.

Speaker 2 (51:44):
My bad.

Speaker 3 (51:45):
Here we are and we're back.

Speaker 1 (51:49):
We did want to talk about another the new look,
the hot new look of censorship, which is, uh, you know,
suing major companies that control all of the Internet pipes
that bring the Internet to us, such as Google, and
then making them scared so now they are doing the

(52:11):
bidding of the president like that. I like, I was
just thinking about this in the context of the Washington
Post article where like the Pentagon is threatening them and
like in a world where the system worked, they would
just like hire so many lawyers to like be like,
all right, we're gonna stand behind our reporting and like
go fuck yourself. Like the court is the last thing

(52:32):
that is standing currently against them, but instead, because it's
controlled by wealthy people who just want contracts from the presidency,
they just like give in and they're like, would you
be nice to us going forward if we give in
on this? And so that's exactly what Google did recently,
where they settled a twenty four point five million dollar,

(52:56):
highly questionable lawsuit about Trump's account being and from YouTube
after January sixth. They were just like, yeah, just pay him,
make him happy, so he nice to us. And around
this time people started noting that their AI overview, which
we've made a lot of fun of because it fucking
sucks shit at its job and also is killing journalism

(53:18):
by making it so nobody goes to the actual websites
that are paying to do the journalism, their AI overview
is suddenly not available if you search does Trump show
signs of dementia? It's available for so much shit, Like
you almost the way it works. This morning, I had

(53:41):
to answer the question why are groundhogs called woodchucks for
my kids because like that, you know, it would make
more sense for beavers. They kind of look like beavers.
I was like, I bet they just got it wrong
and they thought they were beavers, and like it just
got transposed at some point. And an answer for that,
they have a paragraph that answers that. It's just like

(54:04):
an anglicized version of an algonquin word. But like they
any question you can ask, they have a fucking paragraph
answer summary, except for this one. This one question about
like the most powerful person in the world who is
showing signs of dementia. Suddenly they're like, we actually, we're

(54:25):
not even sure what you're saying. Man. Man, Yeah, like
what do you what do you even mean? So it
will show AI results for similar searches about other presidents.
It will show results for obviously Biden, it will yeah, exactly.
Although their answer on Biden, it's not possible to definitively

(54:45):
state whether former President Joe Biden has dementia based solely
on publicly available information. However, some reports and observations have
led to questions and different perspectives regarding his cognitive function
as he aged, but not with Trump. With Trump's just
a list of links agent health concerns about Donald Trump Wikipedia.
But it's just interesting that they're like, I don't know,

(55:08):
don't don't ask us, don't look at us.

Speaker 3 (55:10):
They have to regulate artificial intelligence because we don't even
have regular intelligence figured out yet. What are we fucking
doing well?

Speaker 2 (55:19):
I think that's why we'll fuck it. Then we'll just
outsource it to this new kind of intelligence. I mean, yeah,
the I'm also curious, who are they convincing also by
like suppressing this information. I know it's deeply cynical.

Speaker 1 (55:34):
I think they're just like passing the hot potato, being like,
it's not us saying that shit, you know, like they
just have to run every decision through a will this
make Donald Trump mad?

Speaker 2 (55:44):
Film?

Speaker 3 (55:44):
That's funny because rich people have access to wiping shit
off of the Internet that they know that if something
is or they assume that if something is popping up,
it's because it's paid to be there. So Trump's interpretation
is probably like someone's paying for it to be there
because that information shouldn't be out. Meanwhile, it's just us
as a unit being like that's looking that's how it

(56:07):
actually works.

Speaker 2 (56:08):
Yeah, yeah, I didn't go is my grandmother showing signs
of dementia? You know, like we had a family talk
and we're like, is Grandma okay? And they're like no, no,
you know, I mean, like it's again with this thing.
It's just one of those things that's so out in
the open. But the narrative just like sort of just
in the mainstream media is just sort of avoiding being

(56:29):
like something's wrong with him, rather than being like this
guy's this guy's a nut, you know, or like he's
just he's so angry, he's a hateful person. Like yeah,
he's that and something is not right with So let's
not lose sight of that. Also on top of all
the other shit that we're talking about, But that that's
that's pretty foundational to a lot of the things we're
saying now. Even right people.

Speaker 1 (56:50):
Are pointing out that this has strive strides and affected
the question of Trump having dementia because everybody's now, you know,
there's articles are Donald Trump dementia, which is being.

Speaker 2 (57:00):
Blocked by Google. What to know.

Speaker 1 (57:02):
I also think though that like just publicly showing that
Google will bow to before the power of Donald Trump
is like he probably doesn't hate that, you know, it's
probably not the worst thing for him. Like it's like
we're we're thinking, like, oh, this is a gotcha. They're
doing corruption, and He's like, yeah, motherfucker, that's what I do.

(57:24):
Like that's yeah, I'm just saying Yeah. As to the
question at hand, we can neither confirm nor den't. I
hear on the Daily Zecheist whether Donald Trump is showing
any signs.

Speaker 3 (57:34):
No, but Falent has a drink problem. That's a week.

Speaker 2 (57:39):
Can speak to that.

Speaker 1 (57:40):
I will say that there is a psychologist who hosts
a show about about his mental abilities and said that
is not looking good. He he co hosts a podcast,
Shrinking Trump, where he explains how he arrived at a
diagnosis of dementia. Said, we have to see a major

(58:02):
deterioration and functioning and language and thinking and psychomotor performance
and impulse control. What a lot of people don't realize
is that Donald Trump used to be a articulate person.
He used to speak with a high level of vocabulary, vocabulary.
So he's basically saying, against his own standard, you're seeing
a massive fault decline.

Speaker 2 (58:22):
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, I mean, listen, just listen to a
clip from even the twenty twenty election. Yeah, and then
further back than twenty sixteen, and then go to twenty twelve.
I mean he was he was an articulate racist back then.

Speaker 3 (58:35):
What a thing to long for the.

Speaker 1 (58:38):
Arts when he's really unable to complete a thought. Sometimes
he's unable to complete a word. According to a Daily start, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (58:46):
I see him, I said him, Oh boy, where are
we going to set we? What are we doing with
this one? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (58:52):
A scene of metaphor the idea that he's never heard of,
see a metaphin is? I guess it's not a white striper?

Speaker 3 (58:58):
How he use that word, you know?

Speaker 2 (59:00):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (59:02):
I mean Jack White hates him, so why would he
be a white stripes fan.

Speaker 2 (59:04):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (59:05):
He does have a family history of Alzheimer's. His dad
suffered from the disease, at which point Trump allegedly dismissed
and derided him. Spent the last year of his dad's
life just teasing him for being having dementia.

Speaker 3 (59:20):
Sick, bro sick. Him and Davison should have dinner, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (59:24):
Love our Daddy's crew.

Speaker 3 (59:26):
Yeah.

and to watch them not grow as a woman is
a reminder that I do need to continue to grow
and hold myself accountable and to hold myself to standards
that I want representing me at all times. This has
been a journey to watch them go back and forth.

Speaker 2 (01:01:43):
