Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of trend
Furky Little Little toe Ferky rep from Vanadium Silver on
the discord. My name is Jack O'Brian and I'm thrilled
to be joined in our second seat for today is
trending episode by a very funny comedian, actor, writer improviser
(00:23):
whose podcast is rebrand and who's got a new special
coming up. His current special, Spiritually Filthy, you should go
check out, but he's got a new one coming up
called a Timeless Masterpiece.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
He's just nosegrinded into the zoom.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
It's mort Burn whatater lots up? Dudes, Yes, thank you,
that's that's actually correct.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
I could.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Yeah, I was a big nose grinder, you know, I learned.
I learned Nolli knows grinds. That was a big highlight,
skate highlight for me.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Dolly, Nolli knows grints. Yeah, Nlli knows grinds. Yeah yeah,
Well so the kids used to call me Dolly.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
How are you? I'll do a great man. It's the
slowest news news time of the year. That's why you
called you.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
Guys called me in because you were like, who knows
almost nothing about politics?
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Let's get more than here.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Who could who could just come in and fucking kill time.
This episode starts and Brian the editor is already making
the stretch. It's just like, yeah, but we're thrilled to
have you here. We're gonna do a little Thanksgiving trending update. Uh,
and then we will have an episode coming out on
Black Friday Special Black Friday Up with Amy Miller, the
(01:28):
wonderful Amy Miller. It's been too long, but right now
more we want to talk about. It's still it's the
day before Thanksgiving. We're all we're all rushing out to
the store to get get our birds. And you might
notice a little different this year. You don't say more
expensive this year.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Oh that's it. That is that good? I can't remember.
I like that, so I can't.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
We like when the line so it is good because
here in America we like when line go up corporations and.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
We don't give a fuck about people and human beings.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
So mine is my line is God is God, and
line go up for So there they're saying that this
is mostly driven by feed.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
So so apparently you got to feed these little fuckers, you.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Know, feed them, and feed is apparently a complicated like
it's a combination of you know, vitamins and blah blah blah,
you know, different different things.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
I'm just going to keep listing, listing vague things to
to stretch this out.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Can we just can't we just torture them until they
get fat?
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Doesn't that it's designed by a nutritionist though, like every
every poultry farm has their nutritionists.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
That's like, we're gonna tweak.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
The formula a little bit this year, but the tariffs,
a lot of that ship has to be imported, and
the tariffs are making the feed more expensive and therefore
our dang birds more expensive, I personally, so we covered
this same story as it related to candy bars around Halloween.
The ingredients, specifically the chocolate, the ingredients that make chocolate
(03:12):
have to be imported, and you know, they were ahead
of that one. So fortunately they made some adjustments on
their end to reduce the chocolate in their chocolate.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Good key, just.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
The sugar up to be like it'll be so sugar,
it will be so high that they can't even notice
that there's no chocolate in these chocolate bars. It's just
like a brown gel.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Do that or tune in next year when a Snickers
is forty thousand dollars option, or they could take a
slightly lower profit margin.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
But I will know that I don't like that one.
We don't like that one that.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Sideways, and we do not like the line go sideways.
But yeah, according to this article, animal feed makes up
sixty to seventy percent of producers operating costs. Each farmer
has their own special feed mixture, usually prepared by nutrition
as Most include minerals, vitamins, other ingredients imported from abroad.
Those ingredients have recently been hit by tariffs imposed furniture.
(04:18):
We don't like to say that because that makes that
just kind of dampens the vibe and dark magic to it.
But anyways, I feel like this one will be harder
to tell, you know, like when they lower the quality
of the feed that's going into the turkeys. Like I'm
(04:39):
sure it'll just be like I don't I don't think
it'll be. I forget which movie it is, but they
like cut into the turkey and just like the clouy
gas comes out the flights. I doubt that will specifically happen.
I'm assuming it'll just be a lower quality of like
nutrition and hardiness.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Yeah, we'll have this well, so it'll be great because
we'll have this condition where all of a sudden and
people are like, that's weird, I'm allergic to turkey, And
then everyone over sixty will go everybody who's young is
so weak.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
It's just that they've been giving the turkeys the feed
equivalent of dirt weed.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
You know, Yeah, bad pot for the turkeys.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Although I will say this, the only people this works
out for is my family, which I thought my wife
thought I was crazy when I filled our house with
hundreds of chickens this year to sell to our neighbors.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
But look, he's laughing out You're sitting on all those
damned chickens.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
I will say, if they lower the quality of turkey,
I feel like one person we can or one entity
we can bet will not notice. As the mainstream media
in the United States like that, I feel like we're
really ill prepared for like all the shrink flation and
like all the ways that life is going to become
like incrementally shittier every year under the Trump administration, and
(05:54):
in this like worsening economy where we're completely you know,
decoupled from corporations. Is that like nobody like there's not really.
I can't think of a place where I would go
to like get a consumer report on like anybody else.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Notice the turkey sucked shit this year.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
It was just like rib Their ribs were what they
kind of seemed like elon musk, like they had a lot.
Their ribs were just wire so they looked big, but
they had no meat on them.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Yeah, like does anybody else's turkey? Was it glowing and
it tastes like oil, kind of like it's not good.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
It coughed when you cut into it. Being of turkey.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
The White House Turkey pardon, of course, a dumb story
that is gobbled up every year, was especially unhinged this year.
Donald Trump took the opportunity to ramble about Chicago crime,
calling Governor JB. Prisper a fat slob, while also insisting
he doesn't comment on people's weight.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
So you know, off to a good start. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
He also said that when I first saw their paytures
about the turkeys, I thought we should send them, Well,
I shouldn't say this. I was gonna call them Chuck
and Nancy, But then I realized I would be pardoning them.
I would never pardon those two people. I wouldn't pardon them.
I wouldn't care what Milania had told me.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Darling. I think it would be nice.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Thing to do. I won't do it, darling. I just
I love his little imaginary dialogue with his wife because
it's just sorry, yeah, ten years it's I don't believe it.
I don't believe that they've ever called each other darling.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
She kept talking about what a beautiful body I had
and how she was completely attracted to me sexually.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Yeah, she was repulsed by my weird neck and butt.
It it reminds me of like all those stories you
would tell where he'd be like in these generals, big
strong guys would come up to me with tears in
their eyes and they'd say, sir, sir, you're the greatest.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
You're you're strong and virile. There was no there was
no sexual tension at all. Come on, man, come on,
let's see.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
He also said these were the first ever certified mom
like make America Healthy Again turkeys, but then added, I
don't know if I agree with that, So maybe he
was saying like his past turkeys were just were just
as good. But he said this about because he kind
of commented on the feed thing he said, they've been
fattened on a steady diet of grass beef to allow
(08:18):
the smoothies and all the other things that they've been
eating for this occasion. This was a really big occasion,
and they've eaten every fattening food that you can eat.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Do turkeys eat beef? Is that part of That's what's
going on That feels weird to me. I do think
it's a little funny that he said smoothie only because
I'm picturing little tiny chicken smoothies, which is yeah, it
is cute. It's cute.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
The guy's got an eye for a cartoon. He doesn't
have an eye eye for like authentic happily married person dialogue,
but he can create a cartoon, which is what I
think is going on in his head at all times.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Be good body, shame of the best of them. That's
what's He.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Went from questioning if the turkeys will attack him, claiming
that millions of criminals poured into our country, you know,
just standard Trump stuff, and then apparently one of the
turkeys was like went missing, so there might just be
a turkey running around the White House.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Now.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
It is fun how half the shit it either is
a terrible nightmare or it turns into a children's book.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Those are the two options.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Yeah, but yeah, and then people are being abducted and
taking away from their families and all that good shit.
I will say, just on the subject of just things
falling apart and the White House seeming to be a
chaotic mess. Did you see I think it happened a
couple of weeks ago, but apparently Trump put up a
(09:40):
sign outside the Oval Office that was just printed on
some printer paper and says the Oval Office and like
bright gold live, laugh, love cheesecake factory font.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Yeah, it's so good.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
I love it when his behavior is exactly identical to
your weird horder neighbor, you know, like that's such a
somebody is doing. Somebody is about to have a psychotic
break if they're taping paper to the outside of their house.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Yes, yeah, it looks like some ship that would be
like a White House themed party at a sorority would
put up. You know.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
It's literally just.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Three pieces of printer paper with the Oval and Office
printed out, and yeah it's funny.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
And the half like half wine mom and half the
shining you know.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
M hmm, Yeah, exactly a spokesperson who has asked about
it said the President selected the swoopy found himself. He's
personally and very involved in these beautification projects, and.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
They call that a beautification. Beautification projects. Oh that's so good.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Straight up printing shit on printer paper and taping it
to the outside of the White House. It's kind of wild,
that's all good. Yeah, I feel like it is kind
of you know, it's bad because everybody has to, like,
you know, have less money and be in fear for
(11:10):
our safety. But I do just like wonder. I think
the last time we had someone's brain melting, I can't
even remember.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Oh it was Biden.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Brain melting, but like he was protected by a cadre
of like, you know, people who are like, first of all,
I don't think he wanted to be doing anything.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Right, Yeah, he was sleepy. At least he was sleepy. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
Yeah, this guy's got just a surplus of energy and
no handlers.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
And yes, exactly, and his handlers are right the sort
of people who would be like, yes, sir, right away,
Sarah Kinko, sir, we'll get we'll get that sign up
on the double.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
How about we frame him and put him inside? No, no,
frame paper tacked to the front of the plant. No,
like you would get convicted from your Los Angeles apartment
for doing this.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Yes, you would, you absolutely would?
Speaker 1 (12:03):
You like? This is a homeowner's association would never allow
this sort of shit, dude.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
We Okay, I put my recycling out at three pm,
and I got a note from the neighbors on my
trash can that I wasn't supposed to out put it
out until six pm.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
This is a in the place where it's supposed to be.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
Yes, but they would arrest me if I started taping
shit to the front of my place.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
This is the oval office. Basically. All right, let's take
you a quick break. We'll come back. We'll talk about
some pop culture. We'll be right back under her back.
And Martin, are you a Wicked fan?
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (12:46):
You know this is interesting. I haven't seen My mom
just recommended it Wicked for Good. Yeah, I haven't seen it.
My mom just recommended it. So this is a apropos timing.
She recommended Wicked for Good. Oh that's the new one, right,
See I didn't know too. Yes, yeah, because yeah, they
split them on our ass.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
It dropped last weekend, and we do like to pay
attention to the box office here, and it made one
hundred and fifty million dollars in North America two hundred
and twenty six million worldwide, broke all sorts of records,
the third biggest all time opening for any musical behind
The Lion King and Beauty and the Beast, which, you know,
(13:26):
how are you going to compete with that? But the
second biggest three day opening of twenty twenty five after
a Minecraft movie. And putting those two movies together, I
was like, look, because I was looking at the Wicked
movie poster, which is like purple versus green, Like those
are the big color, you know, Glinda is on the
purple side, and then the green is obviously the Wicked
(13:48):
Witch Alpha bah, And I was like, I feel like
there's a change. Like back back when we were cracked,
I would, uh, we had this thing about how all
modern movies, like after Michael Bay and like the Transformers movies,
just everything turned blue and orange for a long time.
And now I feel like we've entered a like green
(14:11):
and purple and pink era in the world of movies,
like the all the hit movies, like looking back at
the Super Mario Brothers movie, like there's a lot of
like purple and green, and wicked Minecraft is like a
lot of green and like pink. And I'm just wondering,
like not to get too deep into color theories, since
I don't understand shit about it, but it does feel
(14:34):
like it does feel like, yeah, well I don't understand
color theory. I do like that speech that Meryl Streep
gives in the Devilwares product where she talks about how
uh you're of course referring to Cerulian and like how
you know that traces the influence of like that color
across the world of fashion, and how like it's now
made its way down to the bargain basement like place
(14:57):
where you bought your shit sweater the course of many years.
But I do think it's interesting that we're like there,
we might be in a new, a new world of
these colors. So I'm just calling it up. See if
you if you see it anywhere, ask if you see
it anywhere, and tell it tell Zeke, and keep keep
(15:18):
an eye out for purples and greens.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Keep peeping. I look two things.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
First of all, I'm very glad there's not film footage
of me pushing children out of the way to get
in the line for the Minecraft movie. Thank god, you know,
were you into it? Yeah, I mean not my proudest moment.
Yeah I was pushing toddlers. No, I didn't see. But yeah,
well I've been saying for a while that movies turned
into video games, and video games turned into movies, right,
So like John Wick, God Bless is just a video game,
(15:44):
you know, But then if you look like the Operative Time,
that's like a fantasy film. And these are very all
these colors, very childlike, very video gaming the very like.
I think nobody wants to be an adult, because no,
the number one adult is taping paper to the outside.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
Of our co sucks like I sucks, like barn. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
Yeah, so we all want to be treated like eleven
year olds and that which is fine, And that's what
the that's these colors scream to me. This is like,
this is like a very kind of young preteen girl
color scheme, which I'm down for.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Brian the Editor shared the color wheel and pointed out
that they might have just moved everything a click to
the left. They're just like, okay, we're gonna try these.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
They like left it to Ai, and Ai got lazy
they're like, I don't know, pink, who gives a shit?
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Yeah, yeah, I'm sure there's some Barbie influence in there.
Like the Minecraft movie, Jason Momoa is wearing like a
bright pink jacket the whole time, Like, you know, I
feel like so much money goes into these movies and
you're always.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Like who who's getting paid? Like how, And then you
see the credits at the end of the movie, You're like,
holy shit, there's so many people, Like I think there
are people whose job it is to just be like, Okay,
so actually this movie is gonna tank shit if if
we don't turn that yellow jacket into a pink jacket.
And I think they're probably not totally wrong, but like.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
Yes, if we don't turn that into a pink jacket,
mort Burk's not gonna buy it and make love to
his wife in it.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
Call me Jason my MOA K Pop Demon Hunters is
a very purple and pink movie, I will say, and
she just completely took off did incredibly well. So I'm
just saying this is obviously a very easy one to
just cherry pick, but it's probably why Oppenheimer wears purple
and pink exclusively.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
The whole movie. Yeah, I think I think I might
have that detail wrong.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
So anyways, I'm putting this out there less is a
thing that I have a bunch of evidence for them,
more just to hear any any color theorists out there.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Well, what do y'all hear? What do you see? What
you got?
Speaker 1 (17:50):
You got your ear to the street, and let's see
what else we want to talk about. Carolyn Levitt uh
the spokesperson for the White House. She is being asked
about the fact that the mother of her so her
brother's baby, mama like they you know, not, they're not together,
(18:11):
but she just got arrested by ICE and is in
the process of being deported. And Ice is saying that, like,
this woman has like a criminal record, and her lawyers
are like, she actually doesn't. She has no criminal record whatsoever.
A quote I don't know where that is coming from.
Show us the proof, there's no charges out there. She's
not a criminal, illegal alien. Yes, and also even if
(18:34):
she did, she does not deserve to be abducted from
aductive suppose. Yeah, I just I'm putting this story out
there because I think it's worth paying attention to, because
it's definitely within the scope of possibility that like Trump
connected people would be using ice as their own personal
Like you know, my brother has a disagreement with the
(18:58):
mother of his child and like you know, custody stuff
is fucked up or whatever, so it would be convenient
if she went away, like we've seen them do that.
We've seen I think Steven Miller's wife in a like
debate on TV tell somebody that they should get their
papers in order because they were going to be targeted
(19:18):
just for like beaten, you know, winning the debate. So
this is more message to the journalists out there, maybe
maybe keep an eye on this one. It feels like
they did it right before the slow news Thanksgiving weekend,
but they trot out three turkeys as a distraction, but
they can't help but say ye, mister gobble gobbles in
(19:42):
the bathroom. And finally, uh, we've moved on. American Eagle
has moved on from Sydney Sweeney even they like everybody
in their response to the Sydney Sweeney ad campaign, where
like this was actually a win for them and like
the fact that people thought it wasn't cool was actually
like just proves that they're stupid and American Eagle seems
(20:06):
to have moved on to Martha Stewart. They're just like, yeah,
we're we're gonna try and do a Jeen's ad that
doesn't start making people think about eugenics.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
So which, really, that's that's like such a low bar
for your ass.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
It's it's like the number one thing to check off
your list.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
I feel, yeah, yeah, try not to bring up genetic prejudices,
you psychos.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Yeah, but yeah, it's they're they're moving it along the hook.
Seems to be what would Martha do? And then she's
just like in an all denim room for some reason.
But it's weird also that American Eagle is so outs,
so like they're they're like, Okay, what's our next American
Eagle campaign? Like I don't remember you guys having a
campaign before this was down stores anymore. Yeah, Like I
(20:55):
haven't seen anyone where or talk about American Eagles since
like malls were a thing, a place where people hung out.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
Yeah, it just seems like all these things are like
giant money laundering schemes, like all right, we gotta get
we gotta clean up one hundred million dollars. Let's pretend
like American Eagle still exists. I feel like that might
be what's going on.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
All right, that's gonna do it for us on this
Wednesday afternoon back on Friday with a whole last episode
of the show, a little Black Friday episode even less
full of news than this than this episode, if you
can believe it.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
Until then? More, where can people find you? Follow you
all that good stuff?
Speaker 3 (21:33):
Yeah at Mort Burke, I'm posting sketches and stuff on Instagram.
One here you go, Jack popped right off, popped the
fuck off. Don't miss that two hundred and forty thousand views.
Oh doctor, everything's coming better.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
You better go watch that shit.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
You can be a Thanksgiving you can be getting drunk
with your friends from high school and they're gonna be like,
maybe like quoting the sketch, and you're not gonna know
what the fuck they're talking about if you don't go
watch that right now exactly the new cow Bill mort
and I'll be back on Friday with Amy Miller and
we will talk to you all then. Until then, be
kind to each other, be kind to yourselves, get your

Speaker 2 (02:01):
We don't give a fuck about people and human beings.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
So mine is my line is God is God, and
line go up for So there they're saying that this
is mostly driven by feed.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
So so apparently you got to feed these little fuckers, you.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Know, feed them, and feed is apparently a complicated like
it's a combination of you know, vitamins and blah blah blah,
you know, different different things.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
I'm just going to keep listing, listing vague things to
to stretch this out.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Can we just can't we just torture them until they
get fat?
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Doesn't that it's designed by a nutritionist though, like every
every poultry farm has their nutritionists.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
That's like, we're gonna tweak.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
The formula a little bit this year, but the tariffs,
a lot of that ship has to be imported, and
the tariffs are making the feed more expensive and therefore
our dang birds more expensive, I personally, so we covered
this same story as it related to candy bars around Halloween.
The ingredients, specifically the chocolate, the ingredients that make chocolate
(03:12):
have to be imported, and you know, they were ahead
of that one. So fortunately they made some adjustments on
their end to reduce the chocolate in their chocolate.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Good key, just.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
The sugar up to be like it'll be so sugar,
it will be so high that they can't even notice
that there's no chocolate in these chocolate bars. It's just
like a brown gel.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Do that or tune in next year when a Snickers
is forty thousand dollars option, or they could take a
slightly lower profit margin.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
But I will know that I don't like that one.
We don't like that one that.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Sideways, and we do not like the line go sideways.
But yeah, according to this article, animal feed makes up
sixty to seventy percent of producers operating costs. Each farmer
has their own special feed mixture, usually prepared by nutrition
as Most include minerals, vitamins, other ingredients imported from abroad.
Those ingredients have recently been hit by tariffs imposed furniture.
(04:18):
We don't like to say that because that makes that
just kind of dampens the vibe and dark magic to it.
But anyways, I feel like this one will be harder
to tell, you know, like when they lower the quality
of the feed that's going into the turkeys. Like I'm
(04:39):
sure it'll just be like I don't I don't think
it'll be. I forget which movie it is, but they
like cut into the turkey and just like the clouy
gas comes out the flights. I doubt that will specifically happen.
I'm assuming it'll just be a lower quality of like
nutrition and hardiness.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Yeah, we'll have this well, so it'll be great because
we'll have this condition where all of a sudden and
people are like, that's weird, I'm allergic to turkey, And
then everyone over sixty will go everybody who's young is
so weak.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
It's just that they've been giving the turkeys the feed
equivalent of dirt weed.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
You know, Yeah, bad pot for the turkeys.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Although I will say this, the only people this works
out for is my family, which I thought my wife
thought I was crazy when I filled our house with
hundreds of chickens this year to sell to our neighbors.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
But look, he's laughing out You're sitting on all those
damned chickens.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
I will say, if they lower the quality of turkey,
I feel like one person we can or one entity
we can bet will not notice. As the mainstream media
in the United States like that, I feel like we're
really ill prepared for like all the shrink flation and
like all the ways that life is going to become
like incrementally shittier every year under the Trump administration, and
(05:54):
in this like worsening economy where we're completely you know,
decoupled from corporations. Is that like nobody like there's not really.
I can't think of a place where I would go
to like get a consumer report on like anybody else.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Notice the turkey sucked shit this year.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
It was just like rib Their ribs were what they
kind of seemed like elon musk, like they had a lot.
Their ribs were just wire so they looked big, but
they had no meat on them.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Yeah, like does anybody else's turkey? Was it glowing and
it tastes like oil, kind of like it's not good.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
It coughed when you cut into it. Being of turkey.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
The White House Turkey pardon, of course, a dumb story
that is gobbled up every year, was especially unhinged this year.
Donald Trump took the opportunity to ramble about Chicago crime,
calling Governor JB. Prisper a fat slob, while also insisting
he doesn't comment on people's weight.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
So you know, off to a good start. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
He also said that when I first saw their paytures
about the turkeys, I thought we should send them, Well,
I shouldn't say this. I was gonna call them Chuck
and Nancy, But then I realized I would be pardoning them.
I would never pardon those two people. I wouldn't pardon them.
I wouldn't care what Milania had told me.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Darling. I think it would be nice.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Thing to do. I won't do it, darling. I just
I love his little imaginary dialogue with his wife because
it's just sorry, yeah, ten years it's I don't believe it.
I don't believe that they've ever called each other darling.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
She kept talking about what a beautiful body I had
and how she was completely attracted to me sexually.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Yeah, she was repulsed by my weird neck and butt.
It it reminds me of like all those stories you
would tell where he'd be like in these generals, big
strong guys would come up to me with tears in
their eyes and they'd say, sir, sir, you're the greatest.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
You're you're strong and virile. There was no there was
no sexual tension at all. Come on, man, come on,
let's see.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
He also said these were the first ever certified mom
like make America Healthy Again turkeys, but then added, I
don't know if I agree with that, So maybe he
was saying like his past turkeys were just were just
as good. But he said this about because he kind
of commented on the feed thing he said, they've been
fattened on a steady diet of grass beef to allow
(08:18):
the smoothies and all the other things that they've been
eating for this occasion. This was a really big occasion,
and they've eaten every fattening food that you can eat.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Do turkeys eat beef? Is that part of That's what's
going on That feels weird to me. I do think
it's a little funny that he said smoothie only because
I'm picturing little tiny chicken smoothies, which is yeah, it
is cute. It's cute.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
The guy's got an eye for a cartoon. He doesn't
have an eye eye for like authentic happily married person dialogue,
but he can create a cartoon, which is what I
think is going on in his head at all times.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Be good body, shame of the best of them. That's
what's He.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Went from questioning if the turkeys will attack him, claiming
that millions of criminals poured into our country, you know,
just standard Trump stuff, and then apparently one of the
turkeys was like went missing, so there might just be
a turkey running around the White House.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Now.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
It is fun how half the shit it either is
a terrible nightmare or it turns into a children's book.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Those are the two options.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Yeah, but yeah, and then people are being abducted and
taking away from their families and all that good shit.
I will say, just on the subject of just things
falling apart and the White House seeming to be a
chaotic mess. Did you see I think it happened a
couple of weeks ago, but apparently Trump put up a
(09:40):
sign outside the Oval Office that was just printed on
some printer paper and says the Oval Office and like
bright gold live, laugh, love cheesecake factory font.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Yeah, it's so good.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
I love it when his behavior is exactly identical to
your weird horder neighbor, you know, like that's such a
somebody is doing. Somebody is about to have a psychotic
break if they're taping paper to the outside of their house.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Yes, yeah, it looks like some ship that would be
like a White House themed party at a sorority would
put up. You know.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
It's literally just.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Three pieces of printer paper with the Oval and Office
printed out, and yeah it's funny.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
And the half like half wine mom and half the
shining you know.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
M hmm, Yeah, exactly a spokesperson who has asked about
it said the President selected the swoopy found himself. He's
personally and very involved in these beautification projects, and.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
They call that a beautification. Beautification projects. Oh that's so good.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Straight up printing shit on printer paper and taping it
to the outside of the White House. It's kind of wild,
that's all good. Yeah, I feel like it is kind
of you know, it's bad because everybody has to, like,
you know, have less money and be in fear for
(11:10):
our safety. But I do just like wonder. I think
the last time we had someone's brain melting, I can't
even remember.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Oh it was Biden.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Brain melting, but like he was protected by a cadre
of like, you know, people who are like, first of all,
I don't think he wanted to be doing anything.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Right, Yeah, he was sleepy. At least he was sleepy. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
Yeah, this guy's got just a surplus of energy and
no handlers.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
And yes, exactly, and his handlers are right the sort
of people who would be like, yes, sir, right away,
Sarah Kinko, sir, we'll get we'll get that sign up
on the double.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
How about we frame him and put him inside? No, no,
frame paper tacked to the front of the plant. No,
like you would get convicted from your Los Angeles apartment
for doing this.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Yes, you would, you absolutely would?
Speaker 1 (12:03):
You like? This is a homeowner's association would never allow
this sort of shit, dude.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
We Okay, I put my recycling out at three pm,
and I got a note from the neighbors on my
trash can that I wasn't supposed to out put it
out until six pm.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
This is a in the place where it's supposed to be.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
Yes, but they would arrest me if I started taping
shit to the front of my place.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
This is the oval office. Basically. All right, let's take
you a quick break. We'll come back. We'll talk about
some pop culture. We'll be right back under her back.
And Martin, are you a Wicked fan?
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (12:46):
You know this is interesting. I haven't seen My mom
just recommended it Wicked for Good. Yeah, I haven't seen it.
My mom just recommended it. So this is a apropos timing.
She recommended Wicked for Good. Oh that's the new one, right,
See I didn't know too. Yes, yeah, because yeah, they
split them on our ass.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
It dropped last weekend, and we do like to pay
attention to the box office here, and it made one
hundred and fifty million dollars in North America two hundred
and twenty six million worldwide, broke all sorts of records,
the third biggest all time opening for any musical behind
The Lion King and Beauty and the Beast, which, you know,
(13:26):
how are you going to compete with that? But the
second biggest three day opening of twenty twenty five after
a Minecraft movie. And putting those two movies together, I
was like, look, because I was looking at the Wicked
movie poster, which is like purple versus green, Like those
are the big color, you know, Glinda is on the
purple side, and then the green is obviously the Wicked
(13:48):
Witch Alpha bah, And I was like, I feel like
there's a change. Like back back when we were cracked,
I would, uh, we had this thing about how all
modern movies, like after Michael Bay and like the Transformers movies,
just everything turned blue and orange for a long time.
And now I feel like we've entered a like green
(14:11):
and purple and pink era in the world of movies,
like the all the hit movies, like looking back at
the Super Mario Brothers movie, like there's a lot of
like purple and green, and wicked Minecraft is like a
lot of green and like pink. And I'm just wondering,
like not to get too deep into color theories, since
I don't understand shit about it, but it does feel
(14:34):
like it does feel like, yeah, well I don't understand
color theory. I do like that speech that Meryl Streep
gives in the Devilwares product where she talks about how
uh you're of course referring to Cerulian and like how
you know that traces the influence of like that color
across the world of fashion, and how like it's now
made its way down to the bargain basement like place
(14:57):
where you bought your shit sweater the course of many years.
But I do think it's interesting that we're like there,
we might be in a new, a new world of
these colors. So I'm just calling it up. See if
you if you see it anywhere, ask if you see
it anywhere, and tell it tell Zeke, and keep keep
(15:18):
an eye out for purples and greens.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Keep peeping. I look two things.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
First of all, I'm very glad there's not film footage
of me pushing children out of the way to get
in the line for the Minecraft movie. Thank god, you know,
were you into it? Yeah, I mean not my proudest moment.
Yeah I was pushing toddlers. No, I didn't see. But yeah,
well I've been saying for a while that movies turned
into video games, and video games turned into movies, right,
So like John Wick, God Bless is just a video game,
(15:44):
you know, But then if you look like the Operative Time,
that's like a fantasy film. And these are very all
these colors, very childlike, very video gaming the very like.
I think nobody wants to be an adult, because no,
the number one adult is taping paper to the outside.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
Of our co sucks like I sucks, like barn. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
Yeah, so we all want to be treated like eleven
year olds and that which is fine, And that's what
the that's these colors scream to me. This is like,
this is like a very kind of young preteen girl
color scheme, which I'm down for.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Brian the Editor shared the color wheel and pointed out
that they might have just moved everything a click to
the left. They're just like, okay, we're gonna try these.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
They like left it to Ai, and Ai got lazy
they're like, I don't know, pink, who gives a shit?
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Yeah, yeah, I'm sure there's some Barbie influence in there.
Like the Minecraft movie, Jason Momoa is wearing like a
bright pink jacket the whole time, Like, you know, I
feel like so much money goes into these movies and
you're always.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Like who who's getting paid? Like how, And then you
see the credits at the end of the movie, You're like,
holy shit, there's so many people, Like I think there
are people whose job it is to just be like, Okay,
so actually this movie is gonna tank shit if if
we don't turn that yellow jacket into a pink jacket.
And I think they're probably not totally wrong, but like.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
Yes, if we don't turn that into a pink jacket,
mort Burk's not gonna buy it and make love to
his wife in it.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
Call me Jason my MOA K Pop Demon Hunters is
a very purple and pink movie, I will say, and
she just completely took off did incredibly well. So I'm
just saying this is obviously a very easy one to
just cherry pick, but it's probably why Oppenheimer wears purple
and pink exclusively.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
The whole movie. Yeah, I think I think I might
have that detail wrong.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
So anyways, I'm putting this out there less is a
thing that I have a bunch of evidence for them,
more just to hear any any color theorists out there.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Well, what do y'all hear? What do you see? What
you got?
Speaker 1 (17:50):
You got your ear to the street, and let's see
what else we want to talk about. Carolyn Levitt uh
the spokesperson for the White House. She is being asked
about the fact that the mother of her so her
brother's baby, mama like they you know, not, they're not together,
(18:11):
but she just got arrested by ICE and is in
the process of being deported. And Ice is saying that, like,
this woman has like a criminal record, and her lawyers
are like, she actually doesn't. She has no criminal record whatsoever.
A quote I don't know where that is coming from.
Show us the proof, there's no charges out there. She's
not a criminal, illegal alien. Yes, and also even if
(18:34):
she did, she does not deserve to be abducted from
aductive suppose. Yeah, I just I'm putting this story out
there because I think it's worth paying attention to, because
it's definitely within the scope of possibility that like Trump
connected people would be using ice as their own personal
Like you know, my brother has a disagreement with the
(18:58):
mother of his child and like you know, custody stuff
is fucked up or whatever, so it would be convenient
if she went away, like we've seen them do that.
We've seen I think Steven Miller's wife in a like
debate on TV tell somebody that they should get their
papers in order because they were going to be targeted
(19:18):
just for like beaten, you know, winning the debate. So
this is more message to the journalists out there, maybe
maybe keep an eye on this one. It feels like
they did it right before the slow news Thanksgiving weekend,
but they trot out three turkeys as a distraction, but
they can't help but say ye, mister gobble gobbles in
(19:42):
the bathroom. And finally, uh, we've moved on. American Eagle
has moved on from Sydney Sweeney even they like everybody
in their response to the Sydney Sweeney ad campaign, where
like this was actually a win for them and like
the fact that people thought it wasn't cool was actually
like just proves that they're stupid and American Eagle seems
(20:06):
to have moved on to Martha Stewart. They're just like, yeah,
we're we're gonna try and do a Jeen's ad that
doesn't start making people think about eugenics.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
So which, really, that's that's like such a low bar
for your ass.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
It's it's like the number one thing to check off
your list.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
I feel, yeah, yeah, try not to bring up genetic prejudices,
you psychos.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Yeah, but yeah, it's they're they're moving it along the hook.
Seems to be what would Martha do? And then she's
just like in an all denim room for some reason.
But it's weird also that American Eagle is so outs,
so like they're they're like, Okay, what's our next American
Eagle campaign? Like I don't remember you guys having a
campaign before this was down stores anymore. Yeah, Like I
(20:55):
haven't seen anyone where or talk about American Eagles since
like malls were a thing, a place where people hung out.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
Yeah, it just seems like all these things are like
giant money laundering schemes, like all right, we gotta get
we gotta clean up one hundred million dollars. Let's pretend
like American Eagle still exists. I feel like that might
be what's going on.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
All right, that's gonna do it for us on this
Wednesday afternoon back on Friday with a whole last episode
of the show, a little Black Friday episode even less
full of news than this than this episode, if you
can believe it.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
Until then? More, where can people find you? Follow you
all that good stuff?
Speaker 3 (21:33):
Yeah at Mort Burke, I'm posting sketches and stuff on Instagram.

Speaker 1 (21:48):
You can be a Thanksgiving you can be getting drunk
with your friends from high school and they're gonna be like,
maybe like quoting the sketch, and you're not gonna know
what the fuck they're talking about if you don't go
watch that right now exactly the new cow Bill mort
and I'll be back on Friday with Amy Miller and
we will talk to you all then. Until then, be
