Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello everybody, and welcome to this edition of trend Piece FC,
A play on set Piece FC, which is a bit
of a pejorative name that people like to talk about.
Arsenal FC my beloved, you know, my one sports ball
joy that I have in life. Shout out to Vanadium
Silver for that aka, or rather a short show title.
(00:24):
What was I going to say? Oh, well, obviously I
got to introduce today's guest co host, somebody I'm very
excited to have with me today because I have not
been able to podcast with this person in this fashion
we did for Santa University, but in this.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Fashion too long.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
It's been too long, and I am so thrilled to
be joined by a brilliant journalist, activist, writer, comedian hosts.
There aren't enough hyphens to adequately describe this person, but
I am thrilled to be joined today by Jamie lofers Wild.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
What's up?
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Oh I miss you, Jamie.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
I miss you too. I'm good. I'm good. I just
got back from a road trip, so I'm like, yeah,
coming down from the whatever illness I got in a
gas station bathroom feels right.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Feel I should have told you when you're in Iowa
to check out that T shirt store, ray Gun, because
there's a lot of I feel a lot of listeners
of you and I that that work there. When I
was in demo really, oh yeah, people, I got hooked
up in there, you know what I mean. I felt.
I was like, hey Gun Nebraska. Yeah, they're like it's
like a T shirt shop. Yeah, all kinds of like
(01:33):
great phrase t shirts. I bought one that said, Iowa,
we all are going to die because I quote from Jony.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Ernst Nebraska seeing Nebraska. Okay, Nebraska, They're like, on, so
the Nebraska has kind of a scarily good sense of
humor about itself.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Yeah, they do.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
I really appreciated it. Yeah, I'm good to talk about
it in the in the main episode too. But yeah,
I went to this. I went to this gas station
called Fat Dogs Okay, and the whole theme of the
gas station was that Nebraska sucks. But they only show there,
but they're only in Nebraska.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
So you're like, well, this is an interesting theme.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Wow, Nebraska thematically, we're like kind of like a Nebraska
sucks kind of gas station. But anyway, come on in.
We also have actually I was gonna say low prices,
but I think the national average for gas right now
is four dollars in LA. We've had six dollars a galley.
Shout out to my plug in hybrid car that uses
(02:35):
both dinosaur juice and electricity mine too. You gotta have
both options. You gotta have both options. Anyway, here we are. Also,
I forgot to mention on at the top of this
morning's episode, it is Transgender Day of Visibility, uh, and
that is very important because we're currently in a state
of full frontal attacks on all people LGBTQ people, especially
(02:58):
transgender people, and so I think it's just very important
to underline that because again you're seeing your love and
I appreciate everybody who who is also a listener of
this show, and I love all y'all, and I just
we're gonna we're gonna do better. We're gonna do better
as a country.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Gonna keep fighting. Yeah. Mark Kiljoy wrote a great piece
on her subtect this morning about like the changing meaning
of the Transday Visibility to her highly recommend she's obviously
one of.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
The amazing, amazing, amazing just also like the most fascinating
human being on earth.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
She's lived so many lives, no.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
For real, like in a way or and then I'm like,
is your life story like some kind of sci fi
fantasy anthology.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Also, because she has access to the tuck Everlasting Tree,
it's the only way to make it make sense.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Well, shitty news though, especially on this being a transgender
day of visibility. The Supreme Court just made a couple
of terrible disas, not the first one's a joke, but
then saying it's a terrible decision. They did decline to
take on Joe Exotics case the Tiger King. He was
appealing all the way to the Supreme Court to try
(04:11):
and get out of his twenty one year sentence for
trying to you know, kill his rival. What was that, lady, Yeah, Carol,
Carol Baskin, Yeah, God you're here.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
I don't know why I had that right at the
top of my head. That didn't feel good having access
to that information.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Well, I look, the characters from that show definitely touched
us in you know, many ways, stuck in our brains
and hurt.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
I do feel like.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Joe Exotic is like trapped in like a liminal like
he's trapped in an actual prison, but also a liminal
prison where people do not want to conceive of him
outside of the year twenty twenty. Yeah, they're like, you've
got to stay on there.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
You're like a semi positive memory from the beginnings of lockdown. Yeah,
and then that was it you got Actually, did we
get it before lockdown? Maybe maybe we got a right before?
Was it right for whatever?
Speaker 2 (05:01):
I I Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Didn't waste any more air on that.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Yeah, well, fuck him.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
See you later. Last time I remember hearing about him
was he was like begging the president to not deport
his husband. I think was the last thing I heard.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Oh wow, the last time I heard he was trying
to get a presidential pardon.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
And uh yeah, he didn't have enough money though. Those
those costs money, Joe, those costs money.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Didn't sell the life rights for enough. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
So while they did turn their back on Joe Exotic,
they also didn't turn their back on uh K conversion therapy,
because they did find the time to rule against Colorado's
conversion therapy ban in an eight to one ruling, the
only dissenting justice being Katanji Brown Jackson.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
That is so fucking vile. I like, waking up to
that news. Was I mean it, I don't know, I
don't even like, what do you even say because I
had one.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Yeah, I think it's one of those things, right, Because
to anybody who's done any kind of research, known anybody
who's had to experience which it was essentially fucking torture,
that this is not a real fucking thing. This is
not something that is effective or does anything. This is
just a way to torture human beings for being different
than whatever your book of ghost stories tells you how
(06:22):
a person should be. And I mean this is just
sort of like this is the I think, the latest
and just like a string of you know, really fucked
decisions as regarding LGBTQ rights. I think obviously the thing
that people are really looking at now is gay marriage
and obtfell and what happens there. But the case was
brought by a quote Christian counselor named Kayleie Chiles, who
(06:46):
was backed by like Trump administration, like people the you know,
Alliance Defending Freedom, which is like a hate group that
loves to go to the Supreme Court. Chiles previously argued
that she doesn't convert her clients, she merely helped some
quote change sexual behaviors.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
That is that was my because I was not keeping
up with this story prior to this morning, and it
is so unsurprising that it's like, oh, every time this
comes back around, there's just a new name for it.
There's a new effusive or like obvious scative language around it.
So she's like, well, I'm not doing it. I'm just
(07:24):
doing it with this different turn of phrase.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
I'm not converting them. I'm changing their religion.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
You're like, oh, got it, got it.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
So some you would, you would concede some form of
a conversion has occurred.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
Perhaps, Uh, they're like, put your thesaurus away.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
No, No, it's a not transition. That's that's sticky. If
I say that, it's a I don't know what else
to say. It's it's it's conversion. Yeah, but yeah, help
me out, you know. Gorsicch Come on. So Gorsicch pen
the majority opinion, and it concluded that the Colorado law
quote censor speech, and in their concurring opinion, Justices Kagan
(08:06):
and Soda Mayora claimed that the band enabled quote speech
on only one side of an ideologically charged issue, and
which is I think is poppy cock to put it lightly,
because Colorado argued, this is not about free speech, because
therapy is a form of healthcare that you are responsible
(08:26):
to regulate. And so if a doctor was trying to
treat you for an illness and being like, yeah, man,
snort dishcore cocaine. And I don't mean to bring up leeches, Jamie,
because I know you have a deep love of leeches,
but if they're like, this is how you're gonna do
it is cocaine and leeches, I don't know if that
would also get a both both sides.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
I mean with some of my own Kagan is like,
it's just like, what the fuck are you? What the
It's in direct opposition to things that they've voted for
in the past. And also it like is predicated on
the idea that, uh, not being straight is an illness.
Speaker 5 (09:03):
Right.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
It's just so.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
It's not even taking us back ten years, it's taking
us back one hundred, right.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
It's just odd like to say that it's just one
it's only it's on one side of the issue. But again,
it's okay to ban gender affirming care and support young people.
Like it's very hard to wrap my head around. And
I'm sure like fortis proper, you know, scotis wonks talking
about those arguments maybe maybe you can see why they're
(09:32):
thinking that perhaps too rigidly, but either way, what we're
talking about is you're saying, yeah, man, let let the
conversions fly, let the torture, let it just just bring
it back again. Experts all really clear on this that
it's that conversion therapy quote causes psychological harm to young
(09:52):
people in addition to many other horrific consequences like self harm,
and just.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
Like it has been for decades.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
It's like nuts, so, uh yeah, well, what timing for that.
But I think honestly, looking at the Supreme Court, just
seeing the momentum they've had with eroding people's rights, it's
not surprising. And I think that's what shitty is that,
Like you're like, well, I'm not surprised that they're taking
everything away. They're just clawing shit back from people.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
I think it's just like, yeah, it's a slow climb
towards I don't know any Yeah, it's just like a
slow climb towards something even more severe.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Yeah, exactly. And this is a doozy speaking of sexual repression,
Christine Nomes husband seems to have a thing for quote, huge, huge,
ridiculous boobs. The Upton Sinclayers over at the Daily Mail
have just published a story about former DHS Secretary Christy
(10:53):
Noms husband of thirty four years, Brian with like messages
from women he's been talking to on like different webs
sites that he's into the like. They said he was
quote an active Byron participant in the online bimboification community,
where he confessed he was into quote huge, huge, ridiculous
boobs according to one model, and allegedly send at least
(11:13):
twenty five thousand dollars to different members of said community.
According to the messages seen by the conservative tabloid, Bry Byron,
under the pseudonym Jason Jackson, had extensive text and audio
contact with one model. Quote how are your boobs? He
asked the model, would you ever go bigger? When he
was sent a topless photo, Jason replied with his own,
(11:34):
stuffing two large balloons in a crop top. You turned
me into a girl? Should I put on leggings? And
then he would say stuff like this. According to one
of the models he was talking to, she said, quote
He'd say I love my wife, then he'd disappear, come
back and start again. They reached out to him and
he was like, yeah, I yeah, yeah, this is me,
(11:56):
but I didn't say any bad stuff about my wife.
That was like the one part he didn't when people
were like he said some pretty untoward things about his
marriage or like I didn't say.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
That part, but this is everything else was real. This
feels like a tabloid story from nineteen ninety seven.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Yeah, this is like just so it's I think it's
like so odd because right now, like there's so much
was made between Christy Noman, like her alleged fairy out
in the open affair with Corey Lewandowski. Yeah, and then
he was like there, her husband was there at the
hearing when she was asked about like are you what's
going on with this? Like are you sleeping with subordinates?
(12:36):
But the Daily Mail piece is really like it's gross
because they're trying to shame him and be like this
could have been blackmail material for a foreign adversary.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
And you're like, come the fuck off, like this isn't
ill looking at these headlines and just going back to
like how backwards it feels. It's like Christy Noome devastated
by report about cross dressing husband.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Yeah, there's a lot of shit like that. Yeah, yeah,
there is like.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
This underlying like hatefulness to it that just again you're
just like what fucking year is?
Speaker 1 (13:06):
It's so just it's disorienting because you're like, Christie Nome
is a despicable human. Yeah, I don't have no empathy
sympathy for this person, like you know, prior to any
of this. No, And then like they're like, well, but
there are so many headlines that like they're sort of
transphobia so out in the open where they're like, oh, yeah,
she used to wear fake boobs, what the hell?
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Just yeah, anyway, these are just two very unpleasant stories
to be breaking on the trans day visibility. Yeah, no,
I just don't want to be hearing Christiane Nome's name
to day at all all looking at this story. This
is unrelated. But Christie no Moore of Fedora to her
wedding just so you know, No she did, just so
you know, a bridal Fedora. No yeah, yeah, when she
(13:53):
and Byron married in nineteen ninety two, that's to be
the breaking story.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Well that's it. I'm I mean to be fair that
that's kind of a cowboy.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Hat I was.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
I guess, so I guess sorry to a bridal hat.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Lisa Frank. Lisa Frank also wore a bridal hat in
her wedding.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
I forgot. How could I forget about Lisa Frank's wedding. Yeah,
we as a culture still we just were like, well, whatever,
let's just keep buying the bags whatever.
Speaker 5 (14:24):
Oh man.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Yeah, so wow, what I can't believe this is Christine?
Speaker 2 (14:29):
No, I know. And I also can't believe she got
married in nineteen ninety two. I was like, I guess
I have no idea how old Christine?
Speaker 1 (14:34):
No, miss yeah she is. I mean, like I think
that was like one thing. A lot of people are like, what,
she's fifty four, and I'm.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Like, there's also I mean, there's just a there has
been a lot of like inks built on the Republican
beauty aesthetic. Yeah, that I never quite have the stomach
to engage with because you're like, yeah, Republican women experienced
misogyny too, But I don't. I don't. I can't worry
about that today.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
It's just in a very specific way though, Lucie. It's
all the same version of dysmorphia that they're experiencing.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
It all feels very like do you remember when that
movie Bombshell came out and it was like, well, it's like,
why are they first in line to get the Oh
yeah that I think about that movie frequently because it
really broke my brain of.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
Like male auteur, yeah, being like I know, I know,
I know which broad I'm.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Gonna talk about. Ye got it, I got this one,
figured it out, figured it out. All right, let's take
a quick break and we'll talk. Well, when we come back,
we'll talk about Joe Biden's secret security because he shot
himself in the butt.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Right after this.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
And we're back. So, Joe Biden was at the Philadelphia
airport a few days ago and some weird shit went
down with whatever secret Service agents, and he like he
shot his own ass. Apparently according to according to a
real I thought.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
You were like speaking in like, oh, I thought you spoke.
I thought you were meant to say it.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
So he shot himself in the ass with a firearm.
He shot his own butt with a gun, and everyone's like,
what happened here? So according to the reports that it
occurred when the agent quote rushed back to the suv.
The detail traveled in to get his cell phone and
used this is where it's weird, used the flashlight on
(16:37):
his service weapon to try to find it, and he
blasted his buttocks while holstering the weapon. A senior Secret
Service agent, so TMZ then follows up, because again all
of her breaking news comes from them. Right now followed
up and the senior Secret Service official said, the agent
did shoot himself while attempting to reholster his gun, but
(16:57):
it's unclear why he took the gun out in the
first place. Now, the source didn't confirm that it was
shot in the butt because the part about the agent
using his gun is a flashlight was not reported to
the department. However, the official at the Secret Service day
did quote it is accurate that the agent suffered an unintentional,
little self inflicted gunshot wound to his hip area and
(17:20):
he was treated, Oh.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Nice, try on the hip area.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
You shot your own.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Own butt cheeks?
Speaker 2 (17:28):
What that is? I I'm this is beside the point,
But I'm like, what happened to the Amtrak thing?
Speaker 3 (17:35):
Are we not doing the Amtrak thing anymore? Why are
we even at the airport?
Speaker 1 (17:39):
Right as Joe right? Is she also a prolific AMSIP writer.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
I don't know, Yeah, maybe she's just like, like the
food is, you know, the food's overrated, and the people
who hang out in the in the viewing car are
generally pretty conversation too.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Ods in I don't want to talk.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
I'm working, like I'm just trying to see the coast man.
But there is, yeah, there's there's a lot of lonely
hearts hanging out in there.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
I just love the idea that this guy was like, fuck,
where's my cell phone? And he's like, I guess normally, right,
our cell phone is our flashlight. So he's like, fuck it,
I guess there's one on my gun? All right? Where
the is this.
Speaker 5 (18:23):
In the car?
Speaker 2 (18:23):
He just he had a brain fart. He had a
brain fart, and he shot himself in the cheeks.
Speaker 5 (18:29):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
That is really It's really funny. I want to know, Yeah,
what what did he eat before? Like, you know, how
can we how can we bring airport dining culture into
this story?
Speaker 5 (18:42):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (18:43):
And you can tell they immediately.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Man, media is so beautiful and demented because that story broke,
and already my algorithm is covering up this story.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
But I was like Joe and Jill Biden adopted a
new dog.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
I was like, nah, he just shot his own butt.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
No, let's talk about let's talk about the cheek shot. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
Wait they got a new dog.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Wow, they got two new dogs.
Speaker 5 (19:09):
You fell for it, Yes, ap News Jojo black Lab
mixed puppies and I'm like wow, just like but you're
just like, we remember what you did, motherfucker.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
It's like when George Bush is like.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Does anybody want my painting?
Speaker 1 (19:24):
You're like, yeah, no.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Hospital.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
Oh that's right. Brian was asking what happened to Commander.
Commander was rehomed?
Speaker 2 (19:32):
Commander was rehomed? Wait for biting everybody?
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Yeah, for biting everybody.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Yeah, celebrities and rehoming their pets.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Quietly pets is so despicable to me, Like it is nasty?
Is it just us? We come from the era of
like we I mean Commander was a little fucker though,
I mean he if my dad was as old as
Joe Biden, my dad, this dog will somehow kill you
and you're trying to walk and if it's he's a squirrel, Like,
I'm worried about that. But aside from that, the largely
(20:05):
like that there are so many people too, I and
like this happens especially I think the like wealthier people too,
like the inconvenience of a pet can immediately be like, yeah,
all right, yeah, we're getting rid of this thing. I
don't know why I committed to this life form, but
I'm actually not willing, like for the for the bit.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
I mean sometimes I look up where is arian A
Grande Pig? Because where is Arion? Because where is Arion.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
In the gut there in the Yeah, we've been in
the bacon, like they're.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
Yeah, I mean, because I just think about as investment.
Oh god, yeah, that things hopefully just at some great
family farm petting zoo.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
You know, that's like hopefully when it happens with the
rich person, You're like, hopefully they went somewhere safe, right,
But where is arian a grande Pig? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Named him pig Davidson?
Speaker 3 (21:01):
Is that real pig Davidson? No, Piggy smalls?
Speaker 1 (21:05):
Oh even worse? Actually, yeah, I just make it. I did. Brian.
I was like, no, that's Brian saying that that. Although
we do not know the names of the two new dogs,
so we'll.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
See, Okay, we'll see, we'll see if they last.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
How Sonny, your.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
Dog Sonny is so good.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
We uh we just got back from our our road
trip and he was such a vibe.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
He seemed to be like a good roadside companion, at
least from your posts. Seemed just chilling, just all right.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
He's good, Yeah, he he as long as he can
stare at me. You'll sometimes have to contort himself so
he can stare at me. But other than that, he's good.
The night before we left Wisconsin, we got drinks with
someone who I think like had had a traumatic dog experience,
because like he was like, oh, what do you give
him so that he can be in the car?
Speaker 3 (21:58):
I was like, what do you mean?
Speaker 2 (21:59):
He's like, don't you to date your dog to drive him?
Speaker 1 (22:01):
I was like, whoa easy?
Speaker 2 (22:03):
No, what happened?
Speaker 3 (22:05):
Yeah, it happened to you.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
No. Yeah, Sunny is clean and sober, which I think
long times, like.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
Guys listeners might be surprised to hear of the Gabba pent.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
Yeah he is. Yeah, he kind of bottomed out, but
now he's he's he's clean. And tomorrow's his eighth birthday.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Oh wow, you dam that's fifty six years old in dog.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Years, I know, and he hasn't.

He still can't read. It sucks, it sucks for the family.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
But but he doesn't look like shit. So no, Dan Santa, he.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Doesn't look like, no, he looks great, but which makes
it a little easier on him that he can't read.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
Well, that's why he can get away with it.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
You know. Yeah, he's hot, so.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
You get a literacy privileges. And then finally, Lindsey Graham.
Did you see the post of Lindsay Graham at Disney World? Okay,

whole thing. TMZ was just outing people for being like

people are like, he's holding it for someone else's kid.
I'm like, fuck that that's his bubble Wand this guy
is and he's acting like a little baby because his
karmicdead is so intense that that's where he tries to
go and fucking try and feel normal.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
He's wandering around being like what was so bad about
splash Mountain.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
I don't get it. Wand by you no doesn't make
sense to me.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
You can't you can't cancel some racist crows judge. So
he now he's followed that act up because he has
to be so tough. So after the Disney World pictures,
everyone was talking about it and it went viral. He
posted this morning a foot or yesterday a photo of
(24:19):
him just shooting a shotgun, holding a shotgun. He said,
spent some time breaking clays in Edgefield County today. Doesn't
get much better than that, dude.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
It's I mean, it is always a small when when
Lindsey Graham is embarrassed. I just it's so like he's
just on another planet because you're like, who's whispering in
his ear being?
Speaker 3 (24:44):
Like you know what's going to turn this all around?
Like it's I don't know, play into it.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
Yeah, what a bubble. There was an they said there
was another picture that TMZ had where.
Speaker 4 (24:55):
He's going on space Mountain, because before that there was
a picture of him at one of the character brunches
like at Disney World, like at the yeah short.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
That my cousin recently brought her six year old to
Disney World and she referred to that as a three
hundred dollars bowl of fruit loops.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Yeah, because if your kid ain't eaten, you're just waiting
for the admission. Although the geist child was young enough
to get in for free, we recently went because you
got to get.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
In under yeah, under the threshold.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
Yeah yeah, yeah, I mean even when he's they're like
when they're three, you're like, no, no, he too, he's.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
Too look at him, just kidding, Look how.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
Little he is. And also for some ices that at
his preschool there's some big ass two year old, So
I'm like, no, no, no, you're good, bro. You could
be this age for a long while.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
Also, like, unless you are constantly around kids of a
very specific age, it's impossible to know how old any
child is. I'm so bad.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
I'm sure I see the people at the gates. They've
probably learned to maybe ask a couple of questions when
someone's likeing up being like yeah, I'm too okay, now
I know enough that this is all right? What's your
favorite movie? Cars? All right?
Speaker 3 (26:11):
That the Lightning mc queen crocs come on, Yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
See you, I see you. That was that's my kids
like favorite thing, and that they at like the cars Land,
there's like a legit car that drives around like a
Lightning McQueen car.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Oh, I've met the Lightning McQueen car.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
That's so cool.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
I'm not even a cars fan, but I freaked out
when Lightning McQueen pulls up on you.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
It's awesome.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
He was, He was shook. He was like, what the
fuck I thought, because like he thought it was like
it was a statue or something that started moving. He
was like, no, no, no, no, I'm like, embrace it.
That's light.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
That's like the realist thing they have there kind of.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
It's also it is the realist thing to have, truly, truly.
All right, Well, that's gonna do it for today's trends.
We're going to be back obviously. When is that tomorrow? Yeah,
with a brand new app. So that's how this all works.
So until then, take care of yourselves, take care of
each other, don't do nothing about white supremacy, get your
vaccines and all that. Stand up to the bullshit that's
(27:08):
out there, because you know that's that's that's the first
step we can all take. Right until then, Bye bye,
thank you, Jamie bye. The Daily Zeitgeist as executive produced

Hello everybody, and welcome to this edition of trend Piece FC,
A play on set Piece FC, which is a bit
of a pejorative name that people like to talk about.
Arsenal FC my beloved, you know, my one sports ball
joy that I have in life. Shout out to Vanadium
Silver for that aka, or rather a short show title.
(00:24):
What was I going to say? Oh, well, obviously I
got to introduce today's guest co host, somebody I'm very
excited to have with me today because I have not
been able to podcast with this person in this fashion
we did for Santa University, but in this.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Fashion too long.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
It's been too long, and I am so thrilled to
be joined by a brilliant journalist, activist, writer, comedian hosts.
There aren't enough hyphens to adequately describe this person, but
I am thrilled to be joined today by Jamie lofers Wild.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
What's up?
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Oh I miss you, Jamie.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
I miss you too. I'm good. I'm good. I just
got back from a road trip, so I'm like, yeah,
coming down from the whatever illness I got in a
gas station bathroom feels right.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Feel I should have told you when you're in Iowa
to check out that T shirt store, ray Gun, because
there's a lot of I feel a lot of listeners
of you and I that that work there. When I
was in demo really, oh yeah, people, I got hooked
up in there, you know what I mean. I felt.
I was like, hey Gun Nebraska. Yeah, they're like it's
like a T shirt shop. Yeah, all kinds of like
(01:33):
great phrase t shirts. I bought one that said, Iowa,
we all are going to die because I quote from Jony.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Ernst Nebraska seeing Nebraska. Okay, Nebraska, They're like, on, so
the Nebraska has kind of a scarily good sense of
humor about itself.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Yeah, they do.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
I really appreciated it. Yeah, I'm good to talk about
it in the in the main episode too. But yeah,
I went to this. I went to this gas station
called Fat Dogs Okay, and the whole theme of the
gas station was that Nebraska sucks. But they only show there,
but they're only in Nebraska.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
So you're like, well, this is an interesting theme.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Wow, Nebraska thematically, we're like kind of like a Nebraska
sucks kind of gas station. But anyway, come on in.
We also have actually I was gonna say low prices,
but I think the national average for gas right now
is four dollars in LA. We've had six dollars a galley.
Shout out to my plug in hybrid car that uses
(02:35):
both dinosaur juice and electricity mine too. You gotta have
both options. You gotta have both options. Anyway, here we are. Also,
I forgot to mention on at the top of this
morning's episode, it is Transgender Day of Visibility, uh, and
that is very important because we're currently in a state
of full frontal attacks on all people LGBTQ people, especially
(02:58):
transgender people, and so I think it's just very important
to underline that because again you're seeing your love and
I appreciate everybody who who is also a listener of
this show, and I love all y'all, and I just
we're gonna we're gonna do better. We're gonna do better
as a country.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Gonna keep fighting. Yeah. Mark Kiljoy wrote a great piece
on her subtect this morning about like the changing meaning
of the Transday Visibility to her highly recommend she's obviously
one of.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
The amazing, amazing, amazing just also like the most fascinating
human being on earth.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
She's lived so many lives, no.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
For real, like in a way or and then I'm like,
is your life story like some kind of sci fi
fantasy anthology.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Also, because she has access to the tuck Everlasting Tree,
it's the only way to make it make sense.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Well, shitty news though, especially on this being a transgender
day of visibility. The Supreme Court just made a couple
of terrible disas, not the first one's a joke, but
then saying it's a terrible decision. They did decline to
take on Joe Exotics case the Tiger King. He was
appealing all the way to the Supreme Court to try
(04:11):
and get out of his twenty one year sentence for
trying to you know, kill his rival. What was that, lady, Yeah, Carol,
Carol Baskin, Yeah, God you're here.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
I don't know why I had that right at the
top of my head. That didn't feel good having access
to that information.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Well, I look, the characters from that show definitely touched
us in you know, many ways, stuck in our brains
and hurt.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
I do feel like.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Joe Exotic is like trapped in like a liminal like
he's trapped in an actual prison, but also a liminal
prison where people do not want to conceive of him
outside of the year twenty twenty. Yeah, they're like, you've
got to stay on there.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
You're like a semi positive memory from the beginnings of lockdown. Yeah,
and then that was it you got Actually, did we
get it before lockdown? Maybe maybe we got a right before?
Was it right for whatever?
Speaker 2 (05:01):
I I Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Didn't waste any more air on that.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Yeah, well, fuck him.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
See you later. Last time I remember hearing about him
was he was like begging the president to not deport
his husband. I think was the last thing I heard.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Oh wow, the last time I heard he was trying
to get a presidential pardon.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
And uh yeah, he didn't have enough money though. Those
those costs money, Joe, those costs money.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Didn't sell the life rights for enough. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
So while they did turn their back on Joe Exotic,
they also didn't turn their back on uh K conversion therapy,
because they did find the time to rule against Colorado's
conversion therapy ban in an eight to one ruling, the
only dissenting justice being Katanji Brown Jackson.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
That is so fucking vile. I like, waking up to
that news. Was I mean it, I don't know, I
don't even like, what do you even say because I
had one.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Yeah, I think it's one of those things, right, Because
to anybody who's done any kind of research, known anybody
who's had to experience which it was essentially fucking torture,
that this is not a real fucking thing. This is
not something that is effective or does anything. This is
just a way to torture human beings for being different
than whatever your book of ghost stories tells you how
(06:22):
a person should be. And I mean this is just
sort of like this is the I think, the latest
and just like a string of you know, really fucked
decisions as regarding LGBTQ rights. I think obviously the thing
that people are really looking at now is gay marriage
and obtfell and what happens there. But the case was
brought by a quote Christian counselor named Kayleie Chiles, who
(06:46):
was backed by like Trump administration, like people the you know,
Alliance Defending Freedom, which is like a hate group that
loves to go to the Supreme Court. Chiles previously argued
that she doesn't convert her clients, she merely helped some
quote change sexual behaviors.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
That is that was my because I was not keeping
up with this story prior to this morning, and it
is so unsurprising that it's like, oh, every time this
comes back around, there's just a new name for it.
There's a new effusive or like obvious scative language around it.
So she's like, well, I'm not doing it. I'm just
(07:24):
doing it with this different turn of phrase.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
I'm not converting them. I'm changing their religion.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
You're like, oh, got it, got it.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
So some you would, you would concede some form of
a conversion has occurred.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
Perhaps, Uh, they're like, put your thesaurus away.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
No, No, it's a not transition. That's that's sticky. If
I say that, it's a I don't know what else
to say. It's it's it's conversion. Yeah, but yeah, help
me out, you know. Gorsicch Come on. So Gorsicch pen
the majority opinion, and it concluded that the Colorado law
quote censor speech, and in their concurring opinion, Justices Kagan
(08:06):
and Soda Mayora claimed that the band enabled quote speech
on only one side of an ideologically charged issue, and
which is I think is poppy cock to put it lightly,
because Colorado argued, this is not about free speech, because
therapy is a form of healthcare that you are responsible
(08:26):
to regulate. And so if a doctor was trying to
treat you for an illness and being like, yeah, man,
snort dishcore cocaine. And I don't mean to bring up leeches, Jamie,
because I know you have a deep love of leeches,
but if they're like, this is how you're gonna do
it is cocaine and leeches, I don't know if that
would also get a both both sides.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
I mean with some of my own Kagan is like,
it's just like, what the fuck are you? What the
It's in direct opposition to things that they've voted for
in the past. And also it like is predicated on
the idea that, uh, not being straight is an illness.
Speaker 5 (09:03):
Right.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
It's just so.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
It's not even taking us back ten years, it's taking
us back one hundred, right.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
It's just odd like to say that it's just one
it's only it's on one side of the issue. But again,
it's okay to ban gender affirming care and support young people.
Like it's very hard to wrap my head around. And
I'm sure like fortis proper, you know, scotis wonks talking
about those arguments maybe maybe you can see why they're
(09:32):
thinking that perhaps too rigidly, but either way, what we're
talking about is you're saying, yeah, man, let let the
conversions fly, let the torture, let it just just bring
it back again. Experts all really clear on this that
it's that conversion therapy quote causes psychological harm to young
(09:52):
people in addition to many other horrific consequences like self harm,
and just.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
Like it has been for decades.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
It's like nuts, so, uh yeah, well, what timing for that.
But I think honestly, looking at the Supreme Court, just
seeing the momentum they've had with eroding people's rights, it's
not surprising. And I think that's what shitty is that,
Like you're like, well, I'm not surprised that they're taking
everything away. They're just clawing shit back from people.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
I think it's just like, yeah, it's a slow climb
towards I don't know any Yeah, it's just like a
slow climb towards something even more severe.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Yeah, exactly. And this is a doozy speaking of sexual repression,
Christine Nomes husband seems to have a thing for quote, huge, huge,
ridiculous boobs. The Upton Sinclayers over at the Daily Mail
have just published a story about former DHS Secretary Christy
(10:53):
Noms husband of thirty four years, Brian with like messages
from women he's been talking to on like different webs
sites that he's into the like. They said he was
quote an active Byron participant in the online bimboification community,
where he confessed he was into quote huge, huge, ridiculous
boobs according to one model, and allegedly send at least
(11:13):
twenty five thousand dollars to different members of said community.
According to the messages seen by the conservative tabloid, Bry Byron,
under the pseudonym Jason Jackson, had extensive text and audio
contact with one model. Quote how are your boobs? He
asked the model, would you ever go bigger? When he
was sent a topless photo, Jason replied with his own,
(11:34):
stuffing two large balloons in a crop top. You turned
me into a girl? Should I put on leggings? And
then he would say stuff like this. According to one
of the models he was talking to, she said, quote
He'd say I love my wife, then he'd disappear, come
back and start again. They reached out to him and
he was like, yeah, I yeah, yeah, this is me,
(11:56):
but I didn't say any bad stuff about my wife.
That was like the one part he didn't when people
were like he said some pretty untoward things about his
marriage or like I didn't say.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
That part, but this is everything else was real. This
feels like a tabloid story from nineteen ninety seven.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Yeah, this is like just so it's I think it's
like so odd because right now, like there's so much
was made between Christy Noman, like her alleged fairy out
in the open affair with Corey Lewandowski. Yeah, and then
he was like there, her husband was there at the
hearing when she was asked about like are you what's
going on with this? Like are you sleeping with subordinates?
(12:36):
But the Daily Mail piece is really like it's gross
because they're trying to shame him and be like this
could have been blackmail material for a foreign adversary.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
And you're like, come the fuck off, like this isn't
ill looking at these headlines and just going back to
like how backwards it feels. It's like Christy Noome devastated
by report about cross dressing husband.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Yeah, there's a lot of shit like that. Yeah, yeah,
there is like.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
This underlying like hatefulness to it that just again you're
just like what fucking year is?
Speaker 1 (13:06):
It's so just it's disorienting because you're like, Christie Nome
is a despicable human. Yeah, I don't have no empathy
sympathy for this person, like you know, prior to any
of this. No, And then like they're like, well, but
there are so many headlines that like they're sort of
transphobia so out in the open where they're like, oh, yeah,
she used to wear fake boobs, what the hell?
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Just yeah, anyway, these are just two very unpleasant stories
to be breaking on the trans day visibility. Yeah, no,
I just don't want to be hearing Christiane Nome's name
to day at all all looking at this story. This
is unrelated. But Christie no Moore of Fedora to her
wedding just so you know, No she did, just so
you know, a bridal Fedora. No yeah, yeah, when she
(13:53):
and Byron married in nineteen ninety two, that's to be
the breaking story.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Well that's it. I'm I mean to be fair that
that's kind of a cowboy.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Hat I was.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
I guess, so I guess sorry to a bridal hat.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Lisa Frank. Lisa Frank also wore a bridal hat in
her wedding.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
I forgot. How could I forget about Lisa Frank's wedding. Yeah,
we as a culture still we just were like, well, whatever,
let's just keep buying the bags whatever.
Speaker 5 (14:24):
Oh man.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Yeah, so wow, what I can't believe this is Christine?
Speaker 2 (14:29):
No, I know. And I also can't believe she got
married in nineteen ninety two. I was like, I guess
I have no idea how old Christine?
Speaker 1 (14:34):
No, miss yeah she is. I mean, like I think
that was like one thing. A lot of people are like, what,
she's fifty four, and I'm.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Like, there's also I mean, there's just a there has
been a lot of like inks built on the Republican
beauty aesthetic. Yeah, that I never quite have the stomach
to engage with because you're like, yeah, Republican women experienced
misogyny too, But I don't. I don't. I can't worry
about that today.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
It's just in a very specific way though, Lucie. It's
all the same version of dysmorphia that they're experiencing.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
It all feels very like do you remember when that
movie Bombshell came out and it was like, well, it's like,
why are they first in line to get the Oh
yeah that I think about that movie frequently because it
really broke my brain of.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
Like male auteur, yeah, being like I know, I know,
I know which broad I'm.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Gonna talk about. Ye got it, I got this one,
figured it out, figured it out. All right, let's take
a quick break and we'll talk. Well, when we come back,
we'll talk about Joe Biden's secret security because he shot
himself in the butt.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Right after this.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
And we're back. So, Joe Biden was at the Philadelphia
airport a few days ago and some weird shit went
down with whatever secret Service agents, and he like he
shot his own ass. Apparently according to according to a
real I thought.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
You were like speaking in like, oh, I thought you spoke.
I thought you were meant to say it.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
So he shot himself in the ass with a firearm.
He shot his own butt with a gun, and everyone's like,
what happened here? So according to the reports that it
occurred when the agent quote rushed back to the suv.
The detail traveled in to get his cell phone and
used this is where it's weird, used the flashlight on
(16:37):
his service weapon to try to find it, and he
blasted his buttocks while holstering the weapon. A senior Secret
Service agent, so TMZ then follows up, because again all
of her breaking news comes from them. Right now followed
up and the senior Secret Service official said, the agent
did shoot himself while attempting to reholster his gun, but
(16:57):
it's unclear why he took the gun out in the
first place. Now, the source didn't confirm that it was
shot in the butt because the part about the agent
using his gun is a flashlight was not reported to
the department. However, the official at the Secret Service day
did quote it is accurate that the agent suffered an unintentional,
little self inflicted gunshot wound to his hip area and
(17:20):
he was treated, Oh.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Nice, try on the hip area.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
You shot your own.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Own butt cheeks?
Speaker 2 (17:28):
What that is? I I'm this is beside the point,
But I'm like, what happened to the Amtrak thing?
Speaker 3 (17:35):
Are we not doing the Amtrak thing anymore? Why are
we even at the airport?
Speaker 1 (17:39):
Right as Joe right? Is she also a prolific AMSIP writer.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
I don't know, Yeah, maybe she's just like, like the
food is, you know, the food's overrated, and the people
who hang out in the in the viewing car are
generally pretty conversation too.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Ods in I don't want to talk.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
I'm working, like I'm just trying to see the coast man.
But there is, yeah, there's there's a lot of lonely
hearts hanging out in there.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
I just love the idea that this guy was like, fuck,
where's my cell phone? And he's like, I guess normally, right,
our cell phone is our flashlight. So he's like, fuck it,
I guess there's one on my gun? All right? Where
the is this.
Speaker 5 (18:23):
In the car?
Speaker 2 (18:23):
He just he had a brain fart. He had a
brain fart, and he shot himself in the cheeks.
Speaker 5 (18:29):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
That is really It's really funny. I want to know, Yeah,
what what did he eat before? Like, you know, how
can we how can we bring airport dining culture into
this story?
Speaker 5 (18:42):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (18:43):
And you can tell they immediately.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Man, media is so beautiful and demented because that story broke,
and already my algorithm is covering up this story.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
But I was like Joe and Jill Biden adopted a
new dog.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
I was like, nah, he just shot his own butt.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
No, let's talk about let's talk about the cheek shot. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
Wait they got a new dog.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Wow, they got two new dogs.
Speaker 5 (19:09):
You fell for it, Yes, ap News Jojo black Lab
mixed puppies and I'm like wow, just like but you're
just like, we remember what you did, motherfucker.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
It's like when George Bush is like.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Does anybody want my painting?
Speaker 1 (19:24):
You're like, yeah, no.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Hospital.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
Oh that's right. Brian was asking what happened to Commander.
Commander was rehomed?
Speaker 2 (19:32):
Commander was rehomed? Wait for biting everybody?
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Yeah, for biting everybody.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Yeah, celebrities and rehoming their pets.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Quietly pets is so despicable to me, Like it is nasty?
Is it just us? We come from the era of
like we I mean Commander was a little fucker though,
I mean he if my dad was as old as
Joe Biden, my dad, this dog will somehow kill you
and you're trying to walk and if it's he's a squirrel, Like,
I'm worried about that. But aside from that, the largely
(20:05):
like that there are so many people too, I and
like this happens especially I think the like wealthier people too,
like the inconvenience of a pet can immediately be like, yeah,
all right, yeah, we're getting rid of this thing. I
don't know why I committed to this life form, but
I'm actually not willing, like for the for the bit.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
I mean sometimes I look up where is arian A
Grande Pig? Because where is Arion? Because where is Arion.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
In the gut there in the Yeah, we've been in
the bacon, like they're.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
Yeah, I mean, because I just think about as investment.
Oh god, yeah, that things hopefully just at some great
family farm petting zoo.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
You know, that's like hopefully when it happens with the
rich person, You're like, hopefully they went somewhere safe, right,
But where is arian a grande Pig? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Named him pig Davidson?
Speaker 3 (21:01):
Is that real pig Davidson? No, Piggy smalls?
Speaker 1 (21:05):
Oh even worse? Actually, yeah, I just make it. I did. Brian.
I was like, no, that's Brian saying that that. Although
we do not know the names of the two new dogs,
so we'll.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
See, Okay, we'll see, we'll see if they last.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
How Sonny, your.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
Dog Sonny is so good.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
We uh we just got back from our our road
trip and he was such a vibe.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
He seemed to be like a good roadside companion, at
least from your posts. Seemed just chilling, just all right.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
He's good, Yeah, he he as long as he can
stare at me. You'll sometimes have to contort himself so
he can stare at me. But other than that, he's good.
The night before we left Wisconsin, we got drinks with
someone who I think like had had a traumatic dog experience,
because like he was like, oh, what do you give
him so that he can be in the car?
Speaker 3 (21:58):
I was like, what do you mean?
Speaker 2 (21:59):
He's like, don't you to date your dog to drive him?
Speaker 1 (22:01):
I was like, whoa easy?
Speaker 2 (22:03):
No, what happened?
Speaker 3 (22:05):
Yeah, it happened to you.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
No. Yeah, Sunny is clean and sober, which I think
long times, like.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
Guys listeners might be surprised to hear of the Gabba pent.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
Yeah he is. Yeah, he kind of bottomed out, but
now he's he's he's clean. And tomorrow's his eighth birthday.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Oh wow, you dam that's fifty six years old in dog.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Years, I know, and he hasn't.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
He still can't read. It sucks, it sucks for the family.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
But but he doesn't look like shit. So no, Dan Santa, he.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Doesn't look like, no, he looks great, but which makes
it a little easier on him that he can't read.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
Well, that's why he can get away with it.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
You know. Yeah, he's hot, so.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
You get a literacy privileges. And then finally, Lindsey Graham.
Did you see the post of Lindsay Graham at Disney World? Okay,
so let me just he was so there was this
whole thing. TMZ was just outing people for being like
on vacation, like during the shutdown, because they were like,
(23:12):
it's like a.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
Broken clock like every once in a while, TMZ, You're like, I,
I guess I'm not unhappy this exists today. Oh my god?
Speaker 3 (23:21):
Wait, what what ride is he on?
Speaker 1 (23:23):
He's in the Tangled section of Disney World, Disney's Tangle,
and he's clutching a bubble wand like nobody's business. Like
people are like, he's holding it for someone else's kid.
I'm like, fuck that that's his bubble Wand this guy
is and he's acting like a little baby because his
karmicdead is so intense that that's where he tries to
go and fucking try and feel normal.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
He's wandering around being like what was so bad about
splash Mountain.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
I don't get it. Wand by you no doesn't make
sense to me.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
You can't you can't cancel some racist crows judge. So
he now he's followed that act up because he has
to be so tough. So after the Disney World pictures,
everyone was talking about it and it went viral. He
posted this morning a foot or yesterday a photo of
(24:19):
him just shooting a shotgun, holding a shotgun. He said,
spent some time breaking clays in Edgefield County today. Doesn't
get much better than that, dude.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
It's I mean, it is always a small when when
Lindsey Graham is embarrassed. I just it's so like he's
just on another planet because you're like, who's whispering in
his ear being?
Speaker 3 (24:44):
Like you know what's going to turn this all around?
Like it's I don't know, play into it.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
Yeah, what a bubble. There was an they said there
was another picture that TMZ had where.
Speaker 4 (24:55):
He's going on space Mountain, because before that there was
a picture of him at one of the character brunches
like at Disney World, like at the yeah short.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
That my cousin recently brought her six year old to
Disney World and she referred to that as a three
hundred dollars bowl of fruit loops.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Yeah, because if your kid ain't eaten, you're just waiting
for the admission. Although the geist child was young enough
to get in for free, we recently went because you
got to get.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
In under yeah, under the threshold.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
Yeah yeah, yeah, I mean even when he's they're like
when they're three, you're like, no, no, he too, he's.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
Too look at him, just kidding, Look how.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
Little he is. And also for some ices that at
his preschool there's some big ass two year old, So
I'm like, no, no, no, you're good, bro. You could
be this age for a long while.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
Also, like, unless you are constantly around kids of a
very specific age, it's impossible to know how old any
child is. I'm so bad.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
I'm sure I see the people at the gates. They've
probably learned to maybe ask a couple of questions when
someone's likeing up being like yeah, I'm too okay, now
I know enough that this is all right? What's your
favorite movie? Cars? All right?
Speaker 3 (26:11):
That the Lightning mc queen crocs come on, Yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
See you, I see you. That was that's my kids
like favorite thing, and that they at like the cars Land,
there's like a legit car that drives around like a
Lightning McQueen car.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Oh, I've met the Lightning McQueen car.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
That's so cool.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
I'm not even a cars fan, but I freaked out
when Lightning McQueen pulls up on you.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
It's awesome.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
He was, He was shook. He was like, what the
fuck I thought, because like he thought it was like
it was a statue or something that started moving. He
was like, no, no, no, no, I'm like, embrace it.
That's light.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
That's like the realist thing they have there kind of.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
It's also it is the realist thing to have, truly, truly.
All right, Well, that's gonna do it for today's trends.
We're going to be back obviously. When is that tomorrow? Yeah,
with a brand new app. So that's how this all works.
So until then, take care of yourselves, take care of
each other, don't do nothing about white supremacy, get your
vaccines and all that. Stand up to the bullshit that's
(27:08):
out there, because you know that's that's that's the first
step we can all take. Right until then, Bye bye,
