I just read the trend titles and talk about how
great you are and how bad I am.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
I'm such a piece of shit.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
So I did not realize I was forgetting to list attribution,
and I apologize. I just get so damn excited about
these trends.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Dude, I can't man wait till this Business Insider article
drops on how You're a short show title fief from
the Discord.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
It's going to ruin the show.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
It's actually written by me, and it's about how it's okay. Yeah,
I'm a.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Piece of that steals other people.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
I know what it's like to be discriminated against.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
A white guy named Jack.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Yeah, I get it, guys, I know well, my name
is Jack Betever, there's mister Miles greg Ye. The short
show title is Vanadium Silver.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
This is the episode where we tell you some of
the things that are trending on this Wednesday afternoon. Up first,
we have a couple find out updates people who fucked
around and found out.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
Yeah, some bridge some kind of grim uh So Up first,
Avello Airlines. You may have seen this Texas based company
at your local airport. I know I've certainly seen it
at the Burbank Hollywood Burbank Airport, which again is the
most goaded airport of all time, the best because it
is a bus station that has planes fly out of it.
(01:44):
So Avellow Airlines they were so excited to tell people
that they had signed a contract with DHS to be
an accessory to kidnapping and disappearing people off to foreign
lands for deportation.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Somehow people did not like that.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
So now they have said Monday it will close its
base at the Burbank Airport as it struggles financially amid
calls to boycott the airline over its decision to operate
deportation flights under a contract with the Trump regime.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Damn Yeah, I see.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
I really thought that was a good move when I
advised them to just like go big with that one. Yeah,
I was like, you know what's cool.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
They're gonna love that.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Kidnapping people party people are going to love that part
of the modern day nazis like cool.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
I think they probably thought that, like, we're Texas, they're
probably cool with this, right. It turns out all the
other places that you fly to, they're putting pressure on
companies from not using your airline to never fly it again.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
So yeah, here you are. So anyway, I.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Mean there's so many different airlines. There's like Southwest, which
is like the budget one where it's like you line
up for your seats, but what about racism airline?
Speaker 3 (02:51):
Yeah, Southwest they got a sign seating soon, that's true.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Yeah, sorry, okay, Southwest. It's the one with the very
funny flight attendance.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Yes, yes, yes, yes exactly, especially when you find it
Las Vegas. I mean, oh, welcome to lost wages. I'm sorry,
Las Vegas.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Sorry? Did I say that? Did I say that? Am
I allowed to say that?
Speaker 3 (03:10):
I hate that flight from Burbank to Las Vegas because
of the fucking weird You get the most material on
that flight from Vegas.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
I just sit there with a notebook and an eager
smile on my face a right, and then turned to
the person next to me and say, oh my god,
can they say that.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
Like when we went to Summer League together in Vegas
that you kept elbowing me, Like.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
Dude, how what you said?
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Lost?
Speaker 1 (03:40):
When I got nagged by that teenager always said nice reps,
nice reps, about which we're not reps. Nice reps, dude.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
And you were like banks, I remember you were like
and then we were both like, yo, what.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Way next?
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Up In the fuck around find Out files, you may
remember this guy Derek Hoffman from the beginning of the
year as this dad from Texas that forced his family
to move to fucking Russia because too many gays in America.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Yeah, what about a country where you can be openly homophobic?
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Exactly?
Speaker 3 (04:22):
He was in Texas, right, yeah, right, right, right exactly.
But hey, Tucker Carlson told him that it was a
homophobes paradise, so he was probably like, guess what, kids,
I'm up. He has three young daughters that he uprooted
to go to mother Russia. I just want to do
you want to play a clip This was him back
(04:42):
in March after he had moved, telling everyone was like,
why did I move to Russia?
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Well, here's why.
Speaker 5 (04:47):
Because it started a couple of years ago with the
LGBT indoctrination of kids. Oh my god, you can't even
turn on a TV these days without child cartoons talking
about sex and watching it.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
The child cartoons?
Speaker 5 (05:04):
Are you watching on the transgender movement mentally?
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Okay, the transgender movement for anyway. So this guy is
a fucking.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Whatever is going on inside? This guy is like what
a what a disaster? So shit.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
I've been periodically like looking at this story because I've
I'm like, bro, this I remember like right after that
there was they kind of popped up again because they're like,
it's so hard to live in Russia when you don't
speak the lank It's so hard being an immigrant here
who knows nothing about the culture and trying to assimilate
and no one can help you.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
It's really bad.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Now they have truly entered the grim fucking find out
phase because this guy, Derek Huffman, he was offered expedited
Russian citizenship under one condition join the army. He was like, Oh,
I want to show these people and my children that
were committed to like the cause of living in Russia,
(05:59):
and I like, this is important for my kids to
experience and then we can be full fledged Russian citizens.
So he was told that if he signs up, you know,
it's like, oh, you got experience as a welder, Okay, well,
we could probably use you in maintenance you Oh, obviously
we won't send you to the front to fight our
invasion in Ukraine. This is what his wife posted on Sunday,
(06:24):
just updating people about how his military enlistment is going.
Speaker 6 (06:29):
He was told he would not be training for two
weeks and going straight to the front lines. But it
seems as though he's getting one more week of training
and closer to the front lines, and then they are
going to put him on the front lines.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
Yo.
Speaker 6 (06:48):
We are all praying really hard that he could actually
be utilized for his skills and not just be put
as a fighter.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
I mean, first of all, I will say, my very
first thought if it were I to defect to Russia
would be, well, let's let's just take a brief tour
back through history at what goes on in Russia when
war and how how thoughtfully they treat their troops.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Yeah, I just someone who just watched Chernobyl again.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
I'm like, it's it's just they are just gonna throw
bodies at the situation that truly well and truly well
and truly and uh, I just like, but I can weld,
I knows, like and I'm holophobic. It's like they they're
gonna fucking lie to you. Are you for real?
Speaker 5 (07:43):
Do you know?
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Do you have do you know any of this?
Speaker 1 (07:46):
It does? It is giving Trump being like Vladimir No, yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
But stop stop, don't do it. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
So now this guy, like he posted a thing on
Father's Day where he very thin, and he was I
think posting from the maybe he was on the front
or about to be, but fuck, he was just trying to, like,
you know, tell his kids. He I was like, this
is so fucked up, Like just the levels of fucked up,
like you're you were completely your homophobia that was just
(08:18):
completely encouraged by the media that you consume made you
think it was a good idea to uproot your family
because there were too many gay people in the US.
And now you're fighting, you're in the fucking front lines
where the statistics around new recruits like is it.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
The the numbers are.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Bad, Like it's your longevity is not measured in months.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
It's like either side of that conflict, it's it's not good. No,
you're you're getting drafted into the army and is not
good in there?
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
And I mean and now you know, like you know,
there's talks about how like the Russian military is like
exhausting all their tank stockpiles and now they're like they're
they're trotting out shit from the fucking seventies.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Well that's why you need a welder, am I right?
Well guys, yeah, so fucking weld some shit together. Yeah,
just a horrible try, like somebody who psychologically like does
not know in his conscious mind like why he's there,
you know, like there's stuff going on there that like
he's you know obviously. Wow, yeah, that's fucked up. I
(09:22):
didn't I didn't know this latest update Woles. This is
fucking me.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
I know, it's fucking It fucked me up too, because
when I heard, I was like, you know, he's trying.
He joined the army and I was like what And
then I heard his like, oh, you got duped into
fucking fighting and you and it's weird that. I'm like,
this guy was just a simple homophobe slid the United
States and it's like, now this and this is why
(09:47):
history education, the liberal arts educations in America like this.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
This would be a great piece of just you know,
evidence of like why the American education system needs to
be better, because anybody who read any part of history
is like, Okay, so here's how this could go wrong,
and then it went wrong in exactly that way.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
Huh So yeah, those fucking poor kids, man, Like that's
just the thing that's up for it is like those
fucking kids, man, they had them.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
There's just Jesus Christ anyway, horrible. Yeah, all right, one update,
And I don't know how this is possible. So we're
gonna we're gonna report this with a very small grain
of salt and well we'll have to be fact checking
this because it sounds like two thousand National Guard members
have been released from duty following the Los Angeles area protests.
(10:43):
How's that possible? Because LA is still under attack.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
It's a war zone. I can and I don't know.
I'm like so tired of even this, like dumb, We're
they're fucking invaded La for all sounds everything you read
is that the morale was so fucking low and all
these people, they looked so bored just standing around the
federal buildings downtown. But Pete Hegseth just basically made the call,
(11:09):
half of them are coming back, And the Dependagon spokesperson said,
then this is where you get full on regime bullshit,
like fake news quote thanks to our troops who stepped
up to answer the call.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
The lawlessness in Los Angeles is subsiding.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
It was.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
The lawlessness is all being acted out by DHS and
their fucking goons out here. As such, the secretaries ordered
the release of two thousand California National Guardsmen from the
Federal Protection Mission. Yep, I'm sure after that absolute debacle
in MacArthur Park they were just like, what the fuck
is this, dude?
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Like what what?
Speaker 1 (11:45):
What? Like? What is the point running military exercises on
a children's camp?
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (11:50):
Yeah, great and sick yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
And nobody scooped us on this. It was not leaked,
and therefore I am good at my job and barely
drunk at all.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
Unfortunately those were leaked, and that's how we knew you
guys had no boats in the pond rule, no boat,
no fast roping into the park. Yeah yeah, okay, there's
no one there.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
You cannot repel out of a helicopter into the park
to run unnecessary military exercises on this children's summer camp. Okay,
just FYI. That is the law that we need to
put into place.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
And I don't know. These are the rules of engagement.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
We hate to be hard asses here. Yeah, no boat, guys,
All right, let's take a quick break. We'll be right back,
and we're back. We're back. There's a new TikTok debate
(12:52):
happening around a phrase called gen z stare yep that
millennials are saying the gen zs stairs the look gen
Zers give you when they're asked a question or faced
with a situation they don't know how to respond to blank.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
Stare yep, blank stare yep. Or it'll just be like
interacting in public, you know people, It's like I opened
a door for this gen Z kid and they just
looked at me and walked in, know nothing, didn't even
say anything.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Right, Okay, So it's like, your social skills are bad
and we blame you. Yeah, they're not us for creating
social media.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
I don't know. I mean, this is there.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
I've sawn like in the last week there've been like
I think four, like four different articles talking about gen
z Stare. I don't know, Like part of me, I
remember like one of the most vivid moments I've experienced.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
It would be like at the grocery store.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
And someone was like like, like the kid bagging the
groceries was like hey, uh, Like they didn't just say
anything and just looked at me like waiting for me
to say if I needed a bag, and I was like, oh, yeah,
I'll take paper, and then they're just like uh huh
and did it. And I didn't think anything of it
because as someone who would show up to his part
time job criminally.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
High, yeah, I'm like yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
I'd be like what.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
The same way, like this boy's gone mentally, what is
he doing? Like I don't know, dude, I smoked a
blunt in my Honda on the way here, like because
I hate this shit.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
It's a generation of hopheads.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
Yeah yeah, So I don't know if like that, I mean,
when a lot of people will theorize it's like, well
the pandemic really did their social skills. And I think
the biggest thing is that we I even noticed this
generally with people, where we interact so much less now
because of technology that I don't know, maybe that those
skills get slightly blunted because of the emphasis a lot
(14:43):
of it is on like digital communication. But I don't know,
I don't know if it rises to the thing where
I'm like, I'm walking around a bunch of gen z
zombie stairs.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
That's what the Z stands for. Yeah, God damn it.
I've gotten plenty of gen Z stares from older pe
people as well, Like I feel like.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
They're like, hey, you soil your shorts, son, No, huh huh,
all right, carry on that.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
They just know how to use their phones, so their
phones are actually better than your phones. The elderly are
just like I think I get it, Like I think
I'm getting this. So you go on Facebook, you like
a racist meme and then you send your friend a
fist bump meme? Is that correct? Do I have that right?
Speaker 3 (15:33):
It just feels this feels just deeper under Yeah, the
intergenerational warfare, you know, like whatever. I'm just like, I
don't know, man, life fucking sucks.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
There that's another part. I think millennials don't realize like
we got to grow up in a slightly like in
a better time comparatively, like our parents were less, there
was less existential dread all around us. And now it's
like inescapable. I don't know, I'm like, I think part
of me is like, yeah, I'm able to Like when
I when I would have like customer facing jobs, it's
(16:06):
because like I still felt like I grew up in
an era we were.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
Like, hey, how you doing what that?
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Like you know what I mean? Interaction? Now it's just like, man,
what the fuck you need?
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Man, Well, there's interesting stuff about like I remember, I
think I forget if it was like Radio Lab but
like one of those era of podcasts that like profiled
what happened when American companies went to Russia for the
first time and like tried to teach them like customer
service like attitude, and they were like what, like why
(16:38):
the fuck would we do that? Like I think that's
driven like that whole idea of just like being engaging
and like fake friendly. And you know, we talked about
za Zec talking about how like capitalism, like one of
the big costs that it requires of you is to
sell your soul literally to like fake a subjective stance
(17:01):
on like how much you're excited about work or how
good you feel about this customer who's being an asshole
to you, and like that is not natural. And as
this whole thing has like kind of collapsed and like
the ethos and like the promise of the American dream
has like been revealed to be hollow and not real. Like, yeah,
(17:23):
you're going to get less like friendly engaging looks from
that generation. That's just like this is like, but you
guys know this is bullshit too. Why why are you
pretending you don't?
Speaker 3 (17:35):
Yeah, Like when I worked at the laser tag place,
my minimum wage job plus tips could still buy me
some shit, you know what I mean, Like it's still
felt like, oh shit, I'm kind of getting like I
felt like I was getting a return on my labor
or whatever. Right now, the cost of living being so
high all like all of that shit, those are not
incentives in the same way that you'd be like, hey,
(17:56):
how you doing it? Just that it as shit becomes realer,
Just like I totally get. I'm like this is all
fucking joke, right, It's just like.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
A self preservation tactic. Yeah, And also and also this happens. Yeah,
Like Brian pointed out, like people act like awkward people
didn't exist before the year twenty ten. Yeah, Brian the editor,
Like that's yeah, every generation has like the thing that
is just that people are going to be trying to
(18:27):
like find a way to freak out about them because
they have to believe that the challenges that they overcame
were like special and unique to their generation or whatever.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
And so yeah, dude, stare on, man, fucking stare right
through these people and freak out of boomer and just
fucking don't even just look right just thousand years.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
It sounds like it's just like a blank stare, which,
like if that upsets you, then that is probably about
you more than anything. Like they're giving you the neutral mask,
which is the like a thing that's used in art
for you to be able to like project whatever you
want onto it. So the fact that you're projecting like
(19:08):
something onto that reveals more about you. Yeah, and anxiety.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
I wonder if that bothers older people because seeing sort
of this like disaffected like generation of kids makes you
feel a little bit like, damn do we kind of
this is it all fucked up? For them?
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Is it kind of different than when I was like,
here's my lollipop.
Speaker 4 (19:30):
Man, we're going down to the go get an egg.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
Cream creams don't involve eggs and are way less creamy
than they should. Yeah, they're egusting, but they just like smiled,
just drank them through gritted teeth. Hom a soda jerk.
All right, Well, some more things that might be contributing
to the millennial stare a bunch of king the company
(19:58):
that makes candy Crush. They've seem to lay up in
a bunch of their staff and plan to replace them
with AI tools that that staff helped them build. Yo.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Cool, Come the fuck?
Speaker 1 (20:13):
That's like some.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
What the fuck that's I don't know. Is this Shakespearean
Games of Thronesy and Ship where they're like, yes, yes, yes,
and now this weapon will destroy you.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
Thanks this weapon that you've built for us, we will
now kill you with.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
We're now aiming it squarely at you.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
Prepares to cut two hundred staff.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
Holy shit, my god, bro, that's I'm telling you all.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
Don't let these people act like. That's not what they're
trying to do.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
It's just like about efficiency. It's a new tool.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
It's a new tool. It's a new tool, fun new tool.
Speaker 7 (20:47):
They're sizing you up.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
This is pretty dark. So we we've talked before about
how ICE agents are covering their face with masks. Well,
now ICE's lawyers are hiding their identities in open court
and not even like giving Alan Smithy pseudonyms. They're just
being allowed to withhold their identities, which is how you
know you're on the right side of history.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
Yeah, I'm basically going to redact myself so there's no
need for a redaction in the sort of report that
is done on this era of history.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
And as they're leaving the courtroom, they're wiping for prints.
They're wiping their fingerprints off the table in front of
them and the doorknob. But yeah, the Intercept just reported
that an immigration courtroom judge in New York declined to
quote state the name of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement
attorney pressing to deport asylum seekers, explaining, we're not really
(21:39):
doing names publicly, which is unprecedented. Like they asked the
co director of the Immigration Clinic at the University of
Texas at Austin about this and they said, I've never
heard of someone in open court not being identified. Yeah,
part of the court's ethical obligation is transparency, including clear
identification of the parties.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
That is so fucking grim, man, I mean, like, now,
what are court watchers meant to be? Like, all right,
well now we're going to follow him home, uh and
get as much identifying information as possible. If they don't
do that, like what the.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
There's just like wearing masks in open court. Well, we
think it adds a fun like you know, Mexican wrestling
vibe to the court room.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
Uh yes, your honor, I am Rorshack the lawyer, And
that's all I'm gonna say. And this is my esteemed colleague,
spider Man, and uh we will be We're the ones.
We are the architects of the terrible fucking policy of
this place. I mean, there's there was a story about
how there's a ton of a ton of DOJ lawyers
(22:41):
who are resigning because like they can't even keep up
with all the lawsuits they're getting hit with for you know,
all the fucking violating of.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
The laws, latently illegal ship.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
That they like, Bro, I can't there's too many lawsuits.
I gotta go. Man, they're not.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Paying sue me if they can't see my face and
know my name, and the judge is just like, yeah,
I don't know why we got to bring names into.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
This, what a fucking what a disgrace, like and also
saying we're not we're kind of like not doing what
it was it we're not really doing names publicly as
if you asked for like an ingredient substitute at a
top us restaurant or something.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
It's like, we don't.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
Really do substitutes actually for the stuff here, We're not
really doing that.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
We're not really doing substitutes right now. And also that
would be like a shitty move if a topless play
said that too, And this is the fucking a federal judge.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
Yeah, exactly, we're not really doing that right now.
Speaker 7 (23:37):
We're not really doing like constitutional things right now. We're
kind of doing extra legal things right now. That's kind
of our vibe right now in the court is kind
of like full on, you know, no due process. So yeah, wow,

Speaker 3 (00:42):
Dude, I can't man wait till this Business Insider article
drops on how You're a short show title fief from
the Discord.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
It's going to ruin the show.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
It's actually written by me, and it's about how it's okay. Yeah,
I'm a.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Piece of that steals other people.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
I know what it's like to be discriminated against.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
A white guy named Jack.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Yeah, I get it, guys, I know well, my name
is Jack Betever, there's mister Miles greg Ye. The short
show title is Vanadium Silver.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
This is the episode where we tell you some of
the things that are trending on this Wednesday afternoon. Up first,
we have a couple find out updates people who fucked
around and found out.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
Yeah, some bridge some kind of grim uh So Up first,
Avello Airlines. You may have seen this Texas based company
at your local airport. I know I've certainly seen it
at the Burbank Hollywood Burbank Airport, which again is the
most goaded airport of all time, the best because it
is a bus station that has planes fly out of it.
(01:44):
So Avellow Airlines they were so excited to tell people
that they had signed a contract with DHS to be
an accessory to kidnapping and disappearing people off to foreign
lands for deportation.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Somehow people did not like that.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
So now they have said Monday it will close its
base at the Burbank Airport as it struggles financially amid
calls to boycott the airline over its decision to operate
deportation flights under a contract with the Trump regime.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Damn Yeah, I see.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
I really thought that was a good move when I
advised them to just like go big with that one. Yeah,
I was like, you know what's cool.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
They're gonna love that.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Kidnapping people party people are going to love that part
of the modern day nazis like cool.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
I think they probably thought that, like, we're Texas, they're
probably cool with this, right. It turns out all the
other places that you fly to, they're putting pressure on
companies from not using your airline to never fly it again.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
So yeah, here you are. So anyway, I.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Mean there's so many different airlines. There's like Southwest, which
is like the budget one where it's like you line
up for your seats, but what about racism airline?
Speaker 3 (02:51):
Yeah, Southwest they got a sign seating soon, that's true.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Yeah, sorry, okay, Southwest. It's the one with the very
funny flight attendance.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Yes, yes, yes, yes exactly, especially when you find it
Las Vegas. I mean, oh, welcome to lost wages. I'm sorry,
Las Vegas.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Sorry? Did I say that? Did I say that? Am
I allowed to say that?
Speaker 3 (03:10):
I hate that flight from Burbank to Las Vegas because
of the fucking weird You get the most material on
that flight from Vegas.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
I just sit there with a notebook and an eager
smile on my face a right, and then turned to
the person next to me and say, oh my god,
can they say that.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
Like when we went to Summer League together in Vegas
that you kept elbowing me, Like.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
Dude, how what you said?
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Lost?
Speaker 1 (03:40):
When I got nagged by that teenager always said nice reps,
nice reps, about which we're not reps. Nice reps, dude.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
And you were like banks, I remember you were like
and then we were both like, yo, what.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Way next?
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Up In the fuck around find Out files, you may
remember this guy Derek Hoffman from the beginning of the
year as this dad from Texas that forced his family
to move to fucking Russia because too many gays in America.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Yeah, what about a country where you can be openly homophobic?
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Exactly?
Speaker 3 (04:22):
He was in Texas, right, yeah, right, right, right exactly.
But hey, Tucker Carlson told him that it was a
homophobes paradise, so he was probably like, guess what, kids,
I'm up. He has three young daughters that he uprooted
to go to mother Russia. I just want to do
you want to play a clip This was him back
(04:42):
in March after he had moved, telling everyone was like,
why did I move to Russia?
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Well, here's why.
Speaker 5 (04:47):
Because it started a couple of years ago with the
LGBT indoctrination of kids. Oh my god, you can't even
turn on a TV these days without child cartoons talking
about sex and watching it.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
The child cartoons?
Speaker 5 (05:04):
Are you watching on the transgender movement mentally?
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Okay, the transgender movement for anyway. So this guy is
a fucking.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Whatever is going on inside? This guy is like what
a what a disaster? So shit.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
I've been periodically like looking at this story because I've
I'm like, bro, this I remember like right after that
there was they kind of popped up again because they're like,
it's so hard to live in Russia when you don't
speak the lank It's so hard being an immigrant here
who knows nothing about the culture and trying to assimilate
and no one can help you.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
It's really bad.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Now they have truly entered the grim fucking find out
phase because this guy, Derek Huffman, he was offered expedited
Russian citizenship under one condition join the army. He was like, Oh,
I want to show these people and my children that
were committed to like the cause of living in Russia,
(05:59):
and I like, this is important for my kids to
experience and then we can be full fledged Russian citizens.
So he was told that if he signs up, you know,
it's like, oh, you got experience as a welder, Okay, well,
we could probably use you in maintenance you Oh, obviously
we won't send you to the front to fight our
invasion in Ukraine. This is what his wife posted on Sunday,
(06:24):
just updating people about how his military enlistment is going.
Speaker 6 (06:29):
He was told he would not be training for two
weeks and going straight to the front lines. But it
seems as though he's getting one more week of training
and closer to the front lines, and then they are
going to put him on the front lines.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
Yo.
Speaker 6 (06:48):
We are all praying really hard that he could actually
be utilized for his skills and not just be put
as a fighter.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
I mean, first of all, I will say, my very
first thought if it were I to defect to Russia
would be, well, let's let's just take a brief tour
back through history at what goes on in Russia when
war and how how thoughtfully they treat their troops.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Yeah, I just someone who just watched Chernobyl again.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
I'm like, it's it's just they are just gonna throw
bodies at the situation that truly well and truly well
and truly and uh, I just like, but I can weld,
I knows, like and I'm holophobic. It's like they they're
gonna fucking lie to you. Are you for real?
Speaker 5 (07:43):
Do you know?
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Do you have do you know any of this?
Speaker 1 (07:46):
It does? It is giving Trump being like Vladimir No, yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
But stop stop, don't do it. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
So now this guy, like he posted a thing on
Father's Day where he very thin, and he was I
think posting from the maybe he was on the front
or about to be, but fuck, he was just trying to, like,
you know, tell his kids. He I was like, this
is so fucked up, Like just the levels of fucked up,
like you're you were completely your homophobia that was just
(08:18):
completely encouraged by the media that you consume made you
think it was a good idea to uproot your family
because there were too many gay people in the US.
And now you're fighting, you're in the fucking front lines
where the statistics around new recruits like is it.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
The the numbers are.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Bad, Like it's your longevity is not measured in months.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
It's like either side of that conflict, it's it's not good. No,
you're you're getting drafted into the army and is not
good in there?
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
And I mean and now you know, like you know,
there's talks about how like the Russian military is like
exhausting all their tank stockpiles and now they're like they're
they're trotting out shit from the fucking seventies.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Well that's why you need a welder, am I right?
Well guys, yeah, so fucking weld some shit together. Yeah,
just a horrible try, like somebody who psychologically like does
not know in his conscious mind like why he's there,
you know, like there's stuff going on there that like
he's you know obviously. Wow, yeah, that's fucked up. I
(09:22):
didn't I didn't know this latest update Woles. This is
fucking me.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
I know, it's fucking It fucked me up too, because
when I heard, I was like, you know, he's trying.
He joined the army and I was like what And
then I heard his like, oh, you got duped into
fucking fighting and you and it's weird that. I'm like,
this guy was just a simple homophobe slid the United
States and it's like, now this and this is why
(09:47):
history education, the liberal arts educations in America like this.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
This would be a great piece of just you know,
evidence of like why the American education system needs to
be better, because anybody who read any part of history
is like, Okay, so here's how this could go wrong,
and then it went wrong in exactly that way.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
Huh So yeah, those fucking poor kids, man, Like that's
just the thing that's up for it is like those
fucking kids, man, they had them.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
There's just Jesus Christ anyway, horrible. Yeah, all right, one update,
And I don't know how this is possible. So we're
gonna we're gonna report this with a very small grain
of salt and well we'll have to be fact checking
this because it sounds like two thousand National Guard members
have been released from duty following the Los Angeles area protests.
(10:43):
How's that possible? Because LA is still under attack.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
It's a war zone. I can and I don't know.
I'm like so tired of even this, like dumb, We're
they're fucking invaded La for all sounds everything you read
is that the morale was so fucking low and all
these people, they looked so bored just standing around the
federal buildings downtown. But Pete Hegseth just basically made the call,
(11:09):
half of them are coming back, And the Dependagon spokesperson said,
then this is where you get full on regime bullshit,
like fake news quote thanks to our troops who stepped
up to answer the call.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
The lawlessness in Los Angeles is subsiding.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
It was.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
The lawlessness is all being acted out by DHS and
their fucking goons out here. As such, the secretaries ordered
the release of two thousand California National Guardsmen from the
Federal Protection Mission. Yep, I'm sure after that absolute debacle
in MacArthur Park they were just like, what the fuck
is this, dude?
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Like what what?
Speaker 1 (11:45):
What? Like? What is the point running military exercises on
a children's camp?
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (11:50):
Yeah, great and sick yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
And nobody scooped us on this. It was not leaked,
and therefore I am good at my job and barely
drunk at all.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
Unfortunately those were leaked, and that's how we knew you
guys had no boats in the pond rule, no boat,
no fast roping into the park. Yeah yeah, okay, there's
no one there.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
You cannot repel out of a helicopter into the park
to run unnecessary military exercises on this children's summer camp. Okay,
just FYI. That is the law that we need to
put into place.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
And I don't know. These are the rules of engagement.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
We hate to be hard asses here. Yeah, no boat, guys,
All right, let's take a quick break. We'll be right back,
and we're back. We're back. There's a new TikTok debate
(12:52):
happening around a phrase called gen z stare yep that
millennials are saying the gen zs stairs the look gen
Zers give you when they're asked a question or faced
with a situation they don't know how to respond to blank.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
Stare yep, blank stare yep. Or it'll just be like
interacting in public, you know people, It's like I opened
a door for this gen Z kid and they just
looked at me and walked in, know nothing, didn't even
say anything.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Right, Okay, So it's like, your social skills are bad
and we blame you. Yeah, they're not us for creating
social media.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
I don't know. I mean, this is there.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
I've sawn like in the last week there've been like
I think four, like four different articles talking about gen
z Stare. I don't know, Like part of me, I
remember like one of the most vivid moments I've experienced.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
It would be like at the grocery store.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
And someone was like like, like the kid bagging the
groceries was like hey, uh, Like they didn't just say
anything and just looked at me like waiting for me
to say if I needed a bag, and I was like, oh, yeah,
I'll take paper, and then they're just like uh huh
and did it. And I didn't think anything of it
because as someone who would show up to his part
time job criminally.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
High, yeah, I'm like yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
I'd be like what.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
The same way, like this boy's gone mentally, what is
he doing? Like I don't know, dude, I smoked a
blunt in my Honda on the way here, like because
I hate this shit.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
It's a generation of hopheads.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
Yeah yeah, So I don't know if like that, I mean,
when a lot of people will theorize it's like, well
the pandemic really did their social skills. And I think
the biggest thing is that we I even noticed this
generally with people, where we interact so much less now
because of technology that I don't know, maybe that those
skills get slightly blunted because of the emphasis a lot
(14:43):
of it is on like digital communication. But I don't know,
I don't know if it rises to the thing where
I'm like, I'm walking around a bunch of gen z
zombie stairs.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
That's what the Z stands for. Yeah, God damn it.
I've gotten plenty of gen Z stares from older pe
people as well, Like I feel like.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
They're like, hey, you soil your shorts, son, No, huh huh,
all right, carry on that.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
They just know how to use their phones, so their
phones are actually better than your phones. The elderly are
just like I think I get it, Like I think
I'm getting this. So you go on Facebook, you like
a racist meme and then you send your friend a
fist bump meme? Is that correct? Do I have that right?
Speaker 3 (15:33):
It just feels this feels just deeper under Yeah, the
intergenerational warfare, you know, like whatever. I'm just like, I
don't know, man, life fucking sucks.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
There that's another part. I think millennials don't realize like
we got to grow up in a slightly like in
a better time comparatively, like our parents were less, there
was less existential dread all around us. And now it's
like inescapable. I don't know, I'm like, I think part
of me is like, yeah, I'm able to Like when
I when I would have like customer facing jobs, it's
(16:06):
because like I still felt like I grew up in
an era we were.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
Like, hey, how you doing what that?
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Like you know what I mean? Interaction? Now it's just like, man,
what the fuck you need?
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Man, Well, there's interesting stuff about like I remember, I
think I forget if it was like Radio Lab but
like one of those era of podcasts that like profiled
what happened when American companies went to Russia for the
first time and like tried to teach them like customer
service like attitude, and they were like what, like why
(16:38):
the fuck would we do that? Like I think that's
driven like that whole idea of just like being engaging
and like fake friendly. And you know, we talked about
za Zec talking about how like capitalism, like one of
the big costs that it requires of you is to
sell your soul literally to like fake a subjective stance
(17:01):
on like how much you're excited about work or how
good you feel about this customer who's being an asshole
to you, and like that is not natural. And as
this whole thing has like kind of collapsed and like
the ethos and like the promise of the American dream
has like been revealed to be hollow and not real. Like, yeah,
(17:23):
you're going to get less like friendly engaging looks from
that generation. That's just like this is like, but you
guys know this is bullshit too. Why why are you
pretending you don't?
Speaker 3 (17:35):
Yeah, Like when I worked at the laser tag place,
my minimum wage job plus tips could still buy me
some shit, you know what I mean, Like it's still
felt like, oh shit, I'm kind of getting like I
felt like I was getting a return on my labor
or whatever. Right now, the cost of living being so
high all like all of that shit, those are not
incentives in the same way that you'd be like, hey,
(17:56):
how you doing it? Just that it as shit becomes realer,
Just like I totally get. I'm like this is all
fucking joke, right, It's just like.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
A self preservation tactic. Yeah, And also and also this happens. Yeah,
Like Brian pointed out, like people act like awkward people
didn't exist before the year twenty ten. Yeah, Brian the editor,
Like that's yeah, every generation has like the thing that
is just that people are going to be trying to
(18:27):
like find a way to freak out about them because
they have to believe that the challenges that they overcame
were like special and unique to their generation or whatever.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
And so yeah, dude, stare on, man, fucking stare right
through these people and freak out of boomer and just
fucking don't even just look right just thousand years.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
It sounds like it's just like a blank stare, which,
like if that upsets you, then that is probably about
you more than anything. Like they're giving you the neutral mask,
which is the like a thing that's used in art
for you to be able to like project whatever you
want onto it. So the fact that you're projecting like
(19:08):
something onto that reveals more about you. Yeah, and anxiety.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
I wonder if that bothers older people because seeing sort
of this like disaffected like generation of kids makes you
feel a little bit like, damn do we kind of
this is it all fucked up? For them?
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Is it kind of different than when I was like,
here's my lollipop.
Speaker 4 (19:30):
Man, we're going down to the go get an egg.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
Cream creams don't involve eggs and are way less creamy
than they should. Yeah, they're egusting, but they just like smiled,
just drank them through gritted teeth. Hom a soda jerk.
All right, Well, some more things that might be contributing
to the millennial stare a bunch of king the company
(19:58):
that makes candy Crush. They've seem to lay up in
a bunch of their staff and plan to replace them
with AI tools that that staff helped them build. Yo.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Cool, Come the fuck?
Speaker 1 (20:13):
That's like some.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
What the fuck that's I don't know. Is this Shakespearean
Games of Thronesy and Ship where they're like, yes, yes, yes,
and now this weapon will destroy you.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
Thanks this weapon that you've built for us, we will
now kill you with.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
We're now aiming it squarely at you.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
Prepares to cut two hundred staff.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
Holy shit, my god, bro, that's I'm telling you all.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
Don't let these people act like. That's not what they're
trying to do.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
It's just like about efficiency. It's a new tool.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
It's a new tool. It's a new tool, fun new tool.
Speaker 7 (20:47):
They're sizing you up.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
This is pretty dark. So we we've talked before about
how ICE agents are covering their face with masks. Well,
now ICE's lawyers are hiding their identities in open court
and not even like giving Alan Smithy pseudonyms. They're just
being allowed to withhold their identities, which is how you
know you're on the right side of history.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
Yeah, I'm basically going to redact myself so there's no
need for a redaction in the sort of report that
is done on this era of history.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
And as they're leaving the courtroom, they're wiping for prints.
They're wiping their fingerprints off the table in front of
them and the doorknob. But yeah, the Intercept just reported
that an immigration courtroom judge in New York declined to
quote state the name of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement
attorney pressing to deport asylum seekers, explaining, we're not really
(21:39):
doing names publicly, which is unprecedented. Like they asked the
co director of the Immigration Clinic at the University of
Texas at Austin about this and they said, I've never
heard of someone in open court not being identified. Yeah,
part of the court's ethical obligation is transparency, including clear
identification of the parties.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
That is so fucking grim, man, I mean, like, now,
what are court watchers meant to be? Like, all right,
well now we're going to follow him home, uh and
get as much identifying information as possible. If they don't
do that, like what the.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
There's just like wearing masks in open court. Well, we
think it adds a fun like you know, Mexican wrestling
vibe to the court room.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
Uh yes, your honor, I am Rorshack the lawyer, And
that's all I'm gonna say. And this is my esteemed colleague,
spider Man, and uh we will be We're the ones.
We are the architects of the terrible fucking policy of
this place. I mean, there's there was a story about
how there's a ton of a ton of DOJ lawyers
(22:41):
who are resigning because like they can't even keep up
