in Shinjuku, Japan when I was that summer. I was
there and I was like.

moving because I was like, I'm not really fucking with
the Beastie boys. And then the song came out and
I was like, I am again, let's go.

inordinate amount of time at the end of the show
trying to figure out our skew tree House of Horror Names.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Piles of Grave is pretty good. Oh my name is
Jackie Brian. That over is Miles Gray. And this is
the episode where we tell you we check in. It's
Monday morning, where we are check in on what was
happening over the weekend. We also check in with ourselves,
tell you what's going on with us by telling you
something we think is underrated, something we think is overrated. Miles,
(03:30):
what is something that you think is underrated?
Speaker 1 (03:35):
God, this is so stupid.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Underrated. I'm just seeing what it is underrated For me.
Name's gonna have to.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Be me, It's gotta be dude. Flies fuck, Okay, I
didn't know. It's probably been in countless b roll in
like art films or something, but I was.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Out saying fly as fuck. You're saying flies the insects.
Insects get it from the back. Uh huh yeah, they
like they get down from the and I didn't. I
don't know, for whatever reason. I just didn't think of
it until they.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Started having sex on a chair I was sitting on
and I was like, what the fuck? Yeah, I was like,
that looked like that one fly was given the other
fly the business from the back.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Was there a movement or it just like landed on
its back and just kind of stayed there.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
It was I didn't see. I couldn't look. I'm not
gonna lie and catch anything.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
What's the stroke game?
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Like? Yeah, I don't know. This stroke game was strong
on this fly. But the first time it just first
time it caught my eye. The one fly was hitting
it from the back round was in that position. Then
they then they were chasing each other and then they
went on the other arm wrist and they were doing
the same thing. What the fuck I think? And I
googled it to fly as fuck and then yes, they
(04:59):
do do. For whatever reason, I just thought, like bugs
like just do like weird egg shit, you know what
it's like swim by, give it a little a misting
and then that's exactly. I didn't know these insects like
to copulate, but yeah, they do. So anyway, I was
(05:20):
last Friday years old when I learned, and then I
was just like, wow, this is this is really interesting.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
This is really interesting.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
And I also learned that male flies or like they
get around, they get around. Come on, yeah, yep.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
I've always had a feeling about male flies when I
saw them land and like start rubbing their greedy mits together.
You know, I'm like, oh, like a horny middle aged
man rubbing their mits together.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
Tonight.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
I see some flies that could be having my baby.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Nasty landing on ship and just fucking in front of everyone. Yeah,
right there in front of God and everyone.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Yeah, I mean really interesting, like once you start reading
about it, like the female fly and like store the
sperm so like it's like in a to go cup
just you know, fertilize on demand.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Pretty yeah, very interesting stuff all about that and everyone. Hey,
speaking of telling your kids about sex things, Uh, my
underrated has to do with the movie hocus Pocus and
just the kind of weirdness of the universe.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
That I just read. Another fact. I'm so sorry. Yes,
in other house, flis the female penetrates the male using
the egg laying tube. All right, enough said, just so
you know, I am all kinds of ways boom, sorry,
fly freaky shit from Miles Gray getting pegged.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
They're pegged.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
I didn't mean it. Rep hocus Focus.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Yeah, was the last time you watched the movie hocus
Pocus last Thursday?
Speaker 3 (06:57):
Uh for real?
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Yeah? Or Wednesday right before her magicy He took a trip.
We watched it with the Geist child with the guys.
Child tried to watch Casper because he likes ghosts and shit. Yeah,
he was like he didn't really get the really amazing
eighties cameos that happened in the beginning, like father Guido
Sarducci that like SNL character, isn't that the isn't that.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
The guy called yeah father Garducci. Yeah, they were like
fucking Roman Catholics.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Am I right?
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Guys exactly? Don I'm like, you don't know Don Novello
from SNL kid, But yeah, no, I watched. We got
through about half.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Of it before he was like, what the fuck is this?
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Yeah, my kids are very like anti this movie at first,
but then we got some laughs. It was a blast,
definitely better than I remembered, because I think I watched
it originally when I was like a teen and was
like trying to be a centophile as a personality, and
like I was watching with my little sister.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
I watched it, so maybe five years ago.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
For the first time, it's it's a revision history of
the Salem witch trials. Yes, where the the trials were correct,
that they were right these were witches and so they
catch these three witches red handed hang them. They're brought
back from the dead because our main lead character, so
(08:20):
that three hundred years later, our main lead character, I
gotta think fit. Would you guess fifteen years old at that?
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Yeah? Yeah, maybe fourteen.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Fifteen years old. I mean he reads as like a
you know, sophomore at most in high school. Yes, he
lights a candle that it says not to light, never
do that, and the curse says that if the candle
is lit by a virgin, you bring them back. And
he is promptly roasted by everyone from his six year
(08:57):
old sister. Yep, his six year old sister no what
a virgin is and is like, great job, virgin. Like
right away, there's like a part where they're like telling
a grown adult that they think is a cop, like
because he's dressed as a cop for Halloween. They're like, look,
this is what happened. Uh, you know, we brought these
wishes back for the dead, and like, you know, my
(09:18):
brother lit it because he's a virgin, and the grown
adults like whoa, whoa, whoa whoa craziest thing that I
just heard there, takes him aside and it is like,
you're really a virgin man.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Yep, yep, it's it's the fixation on that kid being
a virgin the entire film. It's funny because, like you
were saying, I never watched it as a kid. I
watched it as an adult five years ago, and I
was like, what the fuck they're talking about this kid
being a virgin? Like in the movie this eight year olds,
(09:49):
but this was like nineties. Shit is talking about like
do you's a virgin?
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Pocas walked so American Pie could run?
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Yes, you know, yep. It's there's a lot of debate though.
There are a lot of people who say, like, in
like which terms, if that means a sexual virgin or something.
Because I kind of got into it once I saw it.
I'm like, are they really just being like, oh, this
kid doesn't fuck?
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Yeah, I mean it certainly seems like that. I mean
I was around that age at that time. There was
not a there's not some alternate definition of virginity. I
did tell my I told my kids that it meant
that he had never kissed anyone.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Which he comes home and he's like, Dad, I lost
my virginity, Like oh shit, Like no, I gotta kiss
on the cheek. Oh God, what have I done.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
The very last line of the movie is a fourteen
year old Puritan who is like, has been you know,
resurrected from having to live as a cat for three
hundred years, you know. And his line is to his
like seven year old sister being like, yeah, it's crazy story.
This candle got lit by a frick can Vergin, Like,
(11:02):
that's the last line of the movie. Is like a
Puritan roasting him for being a virgin, Right, Puritan, Like,
I don't.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
Know, Yeah, that's how it be.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
It does it does be that way.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
It triggering for you when you were on that scouting
trip and an eleven year old called you out for
being a virgin. Oh right, you're talking about I thought.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
You were talking about my work as a scout leader. No, yeah,
I mean that's a that's a story that I've told
on this show.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Story.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
My dad basketball coach, went on a recruiting trip to
you know this like trailer park neighborhood and there's basketball
hoop outside. So I was just like, he was like,
stay out here shoot hoops while, you know, go and
talk to this young man. And uh group of kids
came around and were shooting hoops with me and immediately
(12:00):
we're like, this kid's a virgin.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
I think I was twelve.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
I remember it was the same trip where I finished
the book Jurassic Park, and the movie hadn't come out yet.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
So it might have been like, yeah, Jurassic Park.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
I was like my parents would have would describe me
as a bookworm.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
I was like that was that was.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
My personality industry, and they're just like, yeah, this kid,
this kid's definitely a virgin. So they made me admit
that I was a virgin, and then like we're bringing
other people over to talk to me about the fact
that I was a virgin, like I was a I
was an oddity, you know, it was a curio.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Such a such a thing in the nineties. Man, this
it was we were. It was so hyper sexual, and
they're like coming out of the eighties into the nineties,
they like because there's just so there was so much
virgin talk all the time. And I remember I I knew,
I don't know, probably kindergarten what a virgin was. Yeah,
but that was also because I've told this story before,
(13:02):
because I got the sex talk at six years old
when I went to the Aids Walk and my dad
had to show me what condoms, like, what condoms were
not with a flashlight.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Okay, you were a hard living kindergartener when you learned.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
That was that And also TLC like everybody had condoms
and shit on and I was like, Dad, what are
all these things everywhere?
Speaker 3 (13:20):
Right?
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Right? He's like, it's your flashlight.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
What's that cool pair of glasses she's wearing. The one
thing I was like talking about the pure like the
fact that a Puritan thought it was weird that he
was a virgin. And then I remember this cracked article
we did that was like one theory on history is
that the Puritans actually like had lots of rules around
not having sex, right, and like that's what lasts with us.
(13:47):
But the reason they had to have that many rules
is because everyone was constantly fucking everywhere. Like there are
like eyewitness accounts of people that're being like, yeah, goodie
Marshall was like in a bush fucking like and like
in town square like get getting caught fucking on their
front porch and stuff. So that could be historically accurate. Yeah,
(14:12):
that the Puritan fourteen year old was like I still
a virgin, sis, I can't believe it, but.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
It is just wild.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
I don't know, it's a very like Disney Disney Kid
movie that just repeatedly is like do you fucking believe
this shit. I also want to give an honorable mention
to the movie Sleepway Camp. I watched The Last Halloween
for the first time, the nineteen eighty three slasher movie.
It's just having a moment, Like I'm seeing it covered
(14:40):
by a bunch of like different film podcasts. Uh it's
I like hear people like bring it up in conversation.
It's just a it's a pretty standard Friday the Thirteenth
style thing where like kids go to sleep away camp
and people start getting murdered one by one, and then
there's a truly wild twist at the end that I'm
not gonna But like, the other thing that's weird about
(15:02):
is like all the adults are just like fucking creeps,
and it's like, that's not the they're not the slasher.
It's just that is ambiently what's happening in the background.
So I'm just wondering like if that's if that's having
a moment because of that or right. Anyways, those are
our underrated hocus pocus Sleepway Camp and the fact of
(15:24):
fly as fuck?
Speaker 3 (15:25):
What is something you think is overrated?
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Overrated Western colonial world traditions of honoring family. I saw
this video of this, like I'm assuming like a Nigerian mom,
there's like I don't know, this is like a Orubin
tradition of this. Of these kids they honor their mother
by like chanting by Oh, it's like this like this
(15:49):
is a way they're honoring their mother. And I was
so touched by this. But it's specifically chanting because they
are calling all of her spirits back. Hm hmm. That
let me just read like this one description of how
people are saying it. She's calling so this is like
a mo I'll play some of the audio. This is
the mom. This is a child chanting to her.
Speaker 4 (16:07):
Mom, and this mom is just taking it in. But
this is like a ceremony to honor her mom says,
she's calling out her soul from every mission that she went,
that she sent it on, that gave away her power.
Her chance is somadic sonic force that.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Calls her spirit back into her body so she can
complete her mission and live on purpose. The voice is
full of love, but it's a love we don't recognize
because we have been reared on the sacarine sentimental love
of eurocentricity in Hollywood. I was like, what, Wow, this
video is powerful.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
By the way, if you're picturing that and you're just
like picturing like some formal ceremony that's just happening in
a living room. The mom is just like on a couch.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Yeah, and then by the end she like charge sits
up and she starts to tear up. Yeah, And this
is like a thing. I think it's so visceral. There
are a lot of black people in the comments, which
I get because there's so many people being removed from Africa.
You're like, this is genetically encoded in me for some
I'm I don't know, Like I don't know. I started
(17:07):
watching this video. Don't even read the captions. It just
said happy birthday, Mama. And I watched and I'm like,
what the fuck is going on? And I felt all
this shit swirling up? And when I read the description,
I was like, man, like I could connect that so
quickly that this was some some kind of evocation. And
I was so touched by this, and I was like
God with the emptiest fucking gestures and like America and things.
(17:29):
It's like I buy you this where it's like the
idea of acknowledging a parent, like a mother's dedication, that
somehow her dedication renders her slightly weaker from having to
give her power to look after her family, to just
be there as a parent, as a pillar within a family,
(17:51):
that the process to honor them is to if to
call these spirits back into their body to rejuvenate them.
Was just so fucking touching and so beautiful. I was
just like God, this was just just really beautiful to watch,
and I was just like damn, I A. I think,
like most I think African American people, you just long
(18:12):
for this deeper connection to Africa and all of these
traditions that you know innately it's in your bones somehow. Yeah,
I don't know why, because really we've been in these
bodies have been in Africa much longer than they were
in America. But there's just generally too just that concept
of acknowledging parenthood in this way of like it is
(18:35):
this process to dedicate yourself to love other people, that
it's it's a selfless act that you It can weaken you,
it can diminish you. But to acknowledge that in a
way to say, like how do I reconfigure how do
I reintroduce all that energy back to you to give
you something back because you've poured it all into me.
(18:55):
I think it's beautiful.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
And I was like, yeah, giving their life force to
like giving their life to you. You know, they're life
force and like to have a way to like just
like actually do something from your that's like very evidently
like from your soul like back to them is very cool.
It's it gets at like I mean, we're going to
talk about this on tomorrow's episode, but just like this
(19:19):
version of Western culture that's like cut off from any
sort of spiritual like you know, the unconscious power of
like all these traditions, and you know where we live
in a world that just assumes this is it and
then like there's like a weird version of Christianity laid
on top of it. But everything is like very dry
(19:40):
and wrote unless you have to belong to like a
church that is you know. So that yeah, fucking Art
dude really fucked us up with his duel. Really I
blame Dakart. Dick cart is the overrated fuck that dude.
H My overrated is how just nor normal? Our spam
(20:00):
situation is we were talking about how Chinese scammers apparently
made one billion dollars off that toll scam last year.
That where I think a lot of Americans said, you know,
American listeners were like, oh yeah, I got hit with that.
Like the it's basically them being like, hey, you went
through this toll. We've all been through tolls and been
(20:21):
unsure if it actually took from you. Owe this money,
and it's like compounding and basically just like hit us
here with this money. And they made a billion dollars
off that last year. And so as part of that,
I was just like people outside America, like, is this
just in the United States that it's just bad because
like my phone is I get probably you know, three
(20:45):
to five spam calls a day, more spam calls than.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
Regular calls get seven.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Yeah, And so some people got back to us reporting him.
From Germany, I get a scam text about every two weeks.
I've received call in the past, but the quality of
them was so bad that I was never fooled by
them at any point. Second person, to answer your question
on the rate of scam calls outside the US, I
live in Germany and was worried about the uptick and
(21:11):
scam calls I was getting. I've gotten six all year,
a whole year.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
God fucking hell.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
In Yorkshire, no scam calls. I returned to the US.
This is the third person. I returned to the US
and deleting texts and ignoring calls constantly. And then Melbourne,
Australia one scam call per week? Has it one spam
call per week? Yeah, and that's still too many scam calls.
But that's Brian the editor of Mexico.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Not a single scam call here all year, one scam
call per week, which is I think the highest rate
that we got on this report from abroad is one
forty second one to over forty two of what we're.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Experiencing in the United States.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Unreal.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
It's a bad it's a bad system, you guys. It's
not the This is not the one.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
I think, just like ambiently being here is so bad
for your health and on every level, you know what
I mean, like not to mention the lack of actual
like safety nets for like you know, socialized care, but
just like everyone's trying to scam you. Everyone's got a gun.
Everyone could be a Nazi. People are kidnapping.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
It's just like, seems bad. It seems bad.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
I really just don't even want to, Like I was
just telling you earlier, I'm like, I don't even want
to fucking phone anymore.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
It's yeah, it's become.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
Truly like a vector for suffering. Yeah, and not just
because of the text you send me during basketball games.
It's not just that. It's just generally like scam calls.
I get it. Fucking I get called by this Florida
number three times a day in the morning. Yeah, from
like six am to eight am. I'm using getting three
of them. Then they lay off and it's like.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
A bunch of other bullshit throughout the day.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
I'm waiting a call on a callback from like a
park ranger that's like out in a part of LA
that's you know, not where I'm It's not an area
code that I'm used to seeing. So like I've had
to answer a couple because I'm like waiting for this callback,
and it's always yeah, it's just always Hi, Hey, how
(23:19):
are you?
Speaker 1 (23:21):
Oh good? I wanted to call about your reverse mortgage.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Yeah, I actually just took out a sick reverse mortgage. Yeah,
we're actually so Sometimes the calls should be listened to,
You should hear them out.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
Yeah, And like.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
There was this one guy that's your fear reverse mortgage.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Yeah, I'll talk to more when he comes back.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Yeah, there is one where like they they accidentally sent
me forty thousand dollars and I had to send it
back to them. But that was just a minor error.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
All right, let's take a quick break. We'll be right back,
and we're back.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
And let's see real briefly, We're we're now hearing that
Donald Trump had a physical that he required an MRI.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
Yeah, so like he went to like he had a
second one like a month or two ago, and everyone's like, yes,
of course your second physical, you get suddenly out of nowhere.
Of course the harm great health. But he basically we
found out that he didn't talk about what it was.
And then we found out that he was getting an
MRI mm hmm and maybe a cognitive exam. And everyone's like, oh, interesting,
(24:42):
get an MRI just for your checkup.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
Usually No, I've never gotten an MR brain imaging.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
At your checkup. So a lot of people are just like,
what the fuck I mean again, this is just the
evidence is just there for everyone to see that he's
not in good health.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Mister President, you're nailing it so hard that you're actually
a medical Marvel. We're actually we want to study you
like they study the Hulk in the Marvel universe. He said.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
He basically said that on Air Force One. He's like, yes,
you know, they they said they've never seen anything like it.
My brain is so damaged, like like it's really like
listen to him, it's truly. I mean, whenever he says
something is good, I'm we should always just assume it's
the worst thing you could ever think of.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
He started out, both for red mentioned events panical imagings.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
Yeah, I got an MRI. I was perfect. It was perfect.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
I mean I gave you.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
I gave you the full results.
Speaker 3 (25:40):
We had an m R MRI and uh in a machine,
you know, the.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
Whole thing, and it was perfect.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
If they want in particular, you could ask the doctors.
In fact, we have doctors traveling up with us. But
I think they gave you a very conclusive Nobody has
ever given you reports like I gave And then he
goes on like I gave you, I gave you the most.
No one's lied to you about my health like I
have so the facts according to him are that like,
(26:10):
he went in there, they couldn't believe how good everything
looked like, almost no context for why he went in there.
Oh but hey, if you're having trouble drinking glasses of water,
come back in two weeks. Huh.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
The evidence that, like what one would say, seem like
the objective facts of the situation are he was required,
after you know, recently getting a medical checkup, he was
required to go back in for a very serious battery
of tests that seemed to suggest that they were looking
for something, and that he's traveling with doctors everywhere, which
(26:44):
also you don't know if that standard operating procedure rapid.
I'm traveling with forty doctors, the whole team of doctors
team looking working on me every night as I'm asleep,
trying to make sure that I keep breathing. Everything's really good.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
That's sort of having Ben Carson might actually help, because
Magic is a good neurosurgeon, gifted hands.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
Guy's got some of the best hands.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
But yeah, the other thing that's also just funny. Everyone
on the internet's like, yeah, right, cognitive test, which I
always get when I go because nothing's wrong with my cognition.
That's why you're getting any kind of cognitive test. Everything's fine,
everything's fine. Probably not anything to do a little droopy
face on nine to eleven.
Speaker 3 (27:26):
And the other things we've seen that was wild.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
I didn't know you could fix that. Maybe, you know, yeah,
I don't know. You could just suck it back to
work if it's light, Yeah you can.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
Yeah. It's also just funny too, Like along with that,
you're getting MRIs. He keeps lying about fucking solving wars.
That's like his new like old man senility obsession. He's like,
you know how many wars I stopped?
Speaker 2 (27:51):
Like, dude, save him lives. Man up. Talking to Saint Peter,
He's like, hey, just just fy I did it? Other one?
It was sick?
Speaker 1 (28:01):
The other one. I'll me DJ Khaled. But for peacemaking,
all right. We also have Kamala Harris news.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
What is this last year that she made headlines for
suggesting she might run for president, And unfortunately the headlines
are from this weekend, not last year. This weekend. In
an interview with the BBC, she said she might possibly
be the next president, arguing I'm not done. I have
lived my entire career as a life of service, and
(28:29):
it's in my bones, unless you think bones is too
weird a thing to say, in which case, it's in
my blood. We've focused group tested both of them and
they were pretty close to one another.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
So next interview, it's in my blood. Wow. Interesting, I
mean this is also wow. I don't even know, man
like broadly, even before I get into the candidates, it's
going to be solved electorally, no, is it? No? No,
probably not. But that's where that's it's like so infury.
I wish people were like, we gotta get fucking serious here.
(29:01):
They're they're like Indiana just called another special session to redraw,
carve up their maps to ship out another Republican seat
for the House, Like they are maneuvering to basically render
voting like it so it becomes moot.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
Yeah, but yeah, I.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
Mean yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
Look, I'm open, I'm open, Kamala, do you just do
you want to talk that popular shit? I don't know
if you will? No, no, no, no no.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
But she She dismissed Poles, in which she's ranked behind
the rock, saying, if I listen to Poles, I would
have not run for my first office or my second office,
and I certainly wouldn't be sitting here, which is a
wild thing for someone who likes so definitely is poll
oriented and trying to just can't answer questions on like
(29:48):
in the moment because I feel like she's waiting on
the polling to shake up.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
Have to like back her head and get a Brahma
bull tattoo on her fucking arm like the rock or
something shit and be like, I mean here I am.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
I do sometimes think it's fun interesting to think about
what it's like to be one of these, Like she's
got to be going through a weird dissonance where she
had like everyone being like, you've got this, we think
you're a great candidate, you're gonna win, and then she
lost and the truth came like crashing down around her
and everyone else. I feel like like I wasn't knowingly lying.
(30:25):
I was like, you know, hoping that she would be
a viable candidate, but like it just must be. She
also had a spark when she started, and then she
like her shit turned to garbage, as the song says,
so that didn't help either. But I like she, as
we were saying before we started recording, the people who
(30:46):
have limitations are oftentimes the last to know.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
Yeah, yeah, you know, especially if you're powerful and people's
checks depend on you.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
Yeah, and that you're in an echo chamber where those
checks are clearing whether or not you all are actually
a viable candid just as long as you believe you
are enough to like actually make a run for office.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
And to be and you know, for Kamala being a
part of the establishment, the whole, all the machinery, the consultants,
the people who you try to derive wisdom from about
the reality around you, they're all saying some version of
like it's these fucking freak progressive bums and groups. Yeah, yeah,
they're fucking everything up. We need to get rid of
(31:27):
these people. That's not what people want. They want they
want us to be like, oh okay, it's okay if
you have a little Nazi tattoo, Yeah, bang with that.
Also okay, oh you were okay.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
I mean it's it's very predictable. But again, I mean
like sure, I mean Gavin Newsom's also talking about running.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
Also, I'm like, yeah, I think there's gonna be momentum
behind Gavin Newsom. I think, like that seems like that's
a lot like the mainstream media's candidate, you know, just
like this is this is the dude, this is Bay.
Did you see what his social media consultants did on Twitter.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
Yeah, it's like the two rich kids are fighting in
Trump and Gavin Newsome. It's like, well, our rich kid
is like he's got to slip back hair and he
talks shit and also hates the unhoused.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
That's right. This reminds me of like when during the
run up to the twenty twenty election when people are like,
don't look now, but Mike Pence has a shot and
all the articles were just like billionaires saying that.
Speaker 3 (32:30):
I was just like, uh huh, yep, all right.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
We also have an update on Treasury Secretary Scott Bessett,
who gave an interview with ABC News in which he
discussed trade negotiations with China and their American soybean boycott.
China's not buying soybeans from the US and it's killing
soybean farmers.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
Uh, and we're not the farmers.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
Yeah, don't worry. He this guy gets it. Why does
he get it so much? M hm?
Speaker 3 (32:57):
He is also a being farmer.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
Yeah, dude, he said, I too have felt pain m hmm. Yeah,
are you only a three thousand dollars suit? The fuck
are you talking about?
Speaker 2 (33:11):
But he's like holding a pitchfork with a straw hat. Yeah,
American gothic.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
How is he?
Speaker 3 (33:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (33:16):
What's the what's the billionaire or you know, hyper wealthy? Yeah,
logic here, I still got former head fund manager worth
six hundred million dollars who leases out He leases out
land he owns to actual farmers. Oh so, oh he's
a farmer landlord, the landlord of farmers, and in that
(33:38):
respect is essentially that's a landlord saying they're they're a
working class renter.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
I get it, dude, I'm also working in class.
Speaker 3 (33:49):
Oh really, we're Oh I didn't I didn't know that.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
You you you.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
I live in a three hundred square foot apartment in
New York City in the sense that I am the
landlord of one of those. Yeah, I had walked inside
it and said, you, I will not help you with
any of this shit.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
Here, talk to Joe PESHI you're backed up plumbing not
my problem, asshole.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
It's definitely yeah, I feel your pain because like my
tenants are really late with rent recently. I really feel
the pain. Shut the fuck up obscene. Like, yes, God,
I feel like everyone gets that this is so fucked up,
but I think so many people are too fucking busy
to know how fucked up things are. I really, I
(34:33):
really want people to remind your friends out there who
aren't engaged, how dire the situation is. I've like had
to tell like friends over the weekend who are like, Hey,
what's going on.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
I'm like to it, this guy Trump's a loose cannon.
Huh as a dickhead. Huh, please prepare, prepare. Uh, Let's
take a quick break. We'll be right back, and we're back.
(35:08):
And not a great time to be flying in the
United States, I would say. Over the weekend, US airports
reported more than twenty incidents of air traffic controller shortages
on Saturday alone.
Speaker 3 (35:22):
Oh, just on Saturday, Just on Saturday.
Speaker 2 (35:24):
Oh okay, cool, cool cool eight eight nope, eight thousand
flights sorry, one.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
Hundred and thousand, eighty eight thousand flights.
Speaker 2 (35:34):
Eight thousand flight delays. This is according to Transportation Secretary
Sean Duffy, who has warned that this problem is only
going to get worse if the shutdown continues, and also
noted that if you are a loyal listener to this show,
you may remember that air traffic controllers have been very
worried about this for a long time. They've been taking
(35:56):
on second jobs to supplement the lost income of the shutdown.
But they were already doing that before the shutdown.
Speaker 1 (36:03):
Hey, they had a lot of cuts.
Speaker 2 (36:04):
Huh Yeah, Like what the fuck?
Speaker 1 (36:07):
I mean, I don't know if this will change anything
because right now Democrats, as of this week, they said,
we're not we're not budgeting on this, Like we're not
gonna let them fucking completely shit on healthcare. I mean
we voted, I mean, some of some of us voted
for it earlier. But like, but now the rubbers are
hitting the road, meeting the road, we're against it. But
(36:29):
the last shutdown ended because of the pressure because of
all the air traffic being completely clogged up. That was
after thirty five days. I don't know if that's going
to change anything because this time around, like this administration's
like yeah, I mean, I don't know. The more unstable
the country becomes, probably the highly the likelihood of us
being able to just declare martial law goes up too.
Speaker 2 (36:51):
Right, they can do their job at gunpoint, I'll tell
you that much. Yeah, it seems bad. You know, they're
they're saying, reportedly quote more concerned about issues that were
already causing them problems prior to the shutdown, including controllers
being overworked amid staffing shortages. They also resent being used
as the political pawn and the pressure point to see
(37:13):
when a shutdown should end, which seems to be Yeah,
that this is the thing that like makes politicians be like, well, fuck,
I need to get out to Tahoe this weekend, you know,
I mean, is.
Speaker 1 (37:23):
There anyway can I Can I get a private air
traffic controller I staffed there just to do my fights?
Speaker 3 (37:29):
Not possible?
Speaker 1 (37:30):
Can we do that?
Speaker 2 (37:31):
Could my private chef do the air traffic controller? Guys
really great, really a smart guy.
Speaker 1 (37:37):
Man. You should see him, he like, because you know
my family, we're all picky eaters, you know what I mean.
So he'll make four different dinners at the same damn.
Speaker 2 (37:44):
Time, four different kinds of hot dog. It's our employer
that's slapping us in the face, Grave said, referring to
the frustration that Congress is still being paid while the
government is shut down.
Speaker 1 (37:57):
Yeah, and Trump's taking trips. He's fucking building a ballroom
reportedly at at least three hundred million dollars. He keeps
adding numbers to that figure. Uh, and they just they're
they're giving away with like forty billion to Argentina. But yeah,
there's no there's no money for fucking food assistance or
any of this. It's yeah, it's it's really uh again,
(38:20):
like this is the kind of chaos. It's like just
just from an administration that is, you know, no concept
of the norms, and you know Frankly is trying to
erase any concept of norms. Yeah, but I don't think
they understand that all of those things put everyone at risk.
You know, it's not just like, oh, well, if you
got to catch a flight this week, that's boo hoo
(38:42):
for you. Uh No, everyone is unsafe. If we're wondering if.
Speaker 2 (38:46):
He thinks that he has like separate air traffic control,
I mean the president might, but you know, like everyone
needs that web of air traffic controllers, like that's right.
You can't just be like, yeah, I got my own guy,
got my own guy handling.
Speaker 1 (39:01):
Sure, that's what they'll I mean, that's that seems like
the cynical wealthy thing to do, just like we've seen
with like fire like firefighting too, where they're like, oh,
I've got my own fire department for a wildfire.
Speaker 3 (39:12):
Yeah, I'm not using LAFD.
Speaker 2 (39:13):
I should democratize air traffic controllers so like it's uber
where people could just hop in and do the job
when they're nearby and or not even nearby, just to
have like an Internet connection and then they can.
Speaker 1 (39:25):
Just jack fire up the fucking control panel for all
the flights in LAX right now, you want to get.
Speaker 2 (39:31):
Up it for three hours and do do a round
of a do a run of air traffic controlling.
Speaker 1 (39:36):
The thing is that so many these Republicans believe that
they live on terra firma without realizing that they're undercutting
all these things that to them represent the ground they
stand on, right, you know what I mean, Like, I
don't I don't think you understand what that means when
people go hungry, that you think that's just going to
be limited to certain areas, like those effects permeate And
(39:59):
I'm and again, many people that are this wealthy can
insulate themselves to a certain extent. But if you're not
that way, even if you're like Poppin', you're still out
here in a world where there is tremendous suffering and
that's going to manifest in ways that again, you want
to nip that in the butt. You want to help people.
You don't want people out here trying to survive because
you have a cruel government that even with like the
(40:21):
food Assistant, that's because I don't pay anyone a living wage.
That's why we have to have these programs. But all
of every we are all very much connected, whether they
like it or not. And I think it's like the
idea that they don't think any of this is gonna
boomerang back, not necessarily.
Speaker 2 (40:35):
They're gonna be surprised. They're gonna be surprised how connected
we all are. I feel like at some point, hey,
we should connect. They love to connect though, Oh.
Speaker 1 (40:45):
Yeah, certain thing back on that connection.
Speaker 2 (40:47):
And finally, box office report. So the big movie debut
this weekend was delivered Me from Nowhere, the Bruce Springsteen one.
At least that was according to estimates heading in to
the weekend. This was the story of Bruce Springsteen making Nebraska,
which is a sad album he made in a bedroom.
(41:10):
It is I love the album, but it is a
like the crazy thing about it was that he made
an album of demos essentially like songs he was writing
in a bedroom with a guitar, and then everyone was like,
come on, man, you rock People like to see you
rock out, including movie audiences to the degree though, like
(41:32):
this movie about the making of like a quiet, tortured
album by a guy going through depression, like the trailers
are all him, like performing on stage like it's just
gonna be a Bruce Springsteen concert film Jeremy Allen White
from the Bear rather performing on stage as Bruce Springsteen,
but instead the number one movie at the box office
this weekend was Chainsaw Man, the movie. Yep, another anime
(41:57):
success story. Last month, Demon's Layer set a genre record
when it debuted. Demon Slayer has been been killing into
the box.
Speaker 1 (42:07):
Playing the box office, if I may say so myself.
Speaker 2 (42:09):
Yeah, slaying those demons in Hollyweirdy you bought Infinity Castle
seventy million debut, Yes, Jesus, Chris Due.
Speaker 1 (42:21):
Just shows you that it's it's so funny, like our
world is filled with so many groups that you don't
realize exists, that are like in lockstep with each other,
like these interest things, and I know it's so funny.
How many people. There was someone my friend's dad was like,
there was like these these like cartoon movies at the
movie theater, like they weren't Disney.
Speaker 2 (42:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (42:42):
Yeah, it's called anime and.
Speaker 2 (42:43):
That hang, and it's barely mentioned that the young protagonist
was a virgin. Yeah, but before I saw one battle
after another. Both of those Demon Slayer and Chainsaw Man
were both like the movies that played before.
Speaker 1 (43:00):
Yeah, the previous yep man. I wish I wish I
watched more anime because I's like the one thing so
many younger people are into now, Yeah, you're on black
and Japanese and like, oh, bro, like do you fuck
with Attack on Titan. I'm like, na, sorry, I'm it.
So I watched I watched Dragon Ball when I was
(43:21):
when I were a lad.
Speaker 2 (43:22):
It is dragon Ball, Kreon, Shin Chang, Chibi.
Speaker 3 (43:26):
Modicle, Sadai Song.
Speaker 1 (43:29):
What else was I watching?
Speaker 2 (43:30):
Nama?
Speaker 1 (43:33):
Those are the kinds of things I was.
Speaker 2 (43:35):
I feel like, once again we're learning our world is small.
Our world has been small up to this point. You know,
we've talked about it with uh webbing, Yama and Otani
and the box office, where it's like, oh, there's people
elsewhere doing awesome ship that has just been like sort
(43:56):
of artificially blocked from you up to this point. Right
now here we go like it. You were a regional
baseball league. You were a regional basketball league for many years. Uh,
you were a regional film industry.
Speaker 1 (44:13):
Yeah yeah, Oh man, well you're gonna go see Chainsaw?
Speaker 2 (44:17):
Man, I don't. I don't think so.
Speaker 1 (44:19):
I just don't know what's going on, So maybe not.
Speaker 2 (44:22):
I do think I might see. I might start because
I tried the Demon Slayer streaming show and I liked it.
I only got like three episodes in, and there's just
something about like stream like when it's just so so
much to get through, you know where I'm just like,
I don't so. But the fact the fact that there's
like a movie version, I think I'm gonna try and
(44:45):
use that as my entry point. Zich Gang, let me
know if I'm I'm fucking up and there's a better
entry point.
Speaker 1 (44:50):
Oh yeah, I would love to hear Zekegang's being like, Okay,
what's what's your gateway anime for Jack? Because it might
not be the film.
Speaker 3 (44:57):
It has to be filmed.
Speaker 2 (44:58):
Don't give me streaming shit, Okay to be a film
seen aka Akira. Yes, I have yeah, yeah, oh Akira.
Oh you're fucking rips dog. Oh yeah, I saw, I
saw a Kira dog. The thing was awesome and like
also one of those things where it's like, oh, this
movie is so influential. Yeah, seriously, the visual language of
(45:21):
like film Springsteen Delivered Me from Nowhere Fell Below. Projections
made just seven million dollars domestically sixteen point one globally,
and the reviews don't seem to be like that crazy.
Bringing it back to the World Series, some people have
pointed out that releasing a movie about a dad Rock
icon on the same date as Game one of the
(45:42):
World Series might have been a mistake.
Speaker 3 (45:44):
So we'll see if the next back up after this.
Speaker 1 (45:46):
But yeah, oh this week, let's just let's just end
it this week. Baby, come on, Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (45:52):
I mean, last time we talked confidently about the Dodgers
on here, they got crushed. It is wild how all
everybody immediately was like, they suck, the Dodgers suck. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (46:05):
I wasn't. I was.
Speaker 1 (46:07):
I was definitely ready. I didn't. I didn't think it
would sweep the Jays and just the the arc, the
narrative going into the World series has been such a
fantasy like that. I was like, they got a lot
of fucking like momentum going into that first game, especially
with us having a break.
Speaker 2 (46:26):
They got the young ass kicked vigorously. They got a
vigorous ass kicking in the first game, which probably was helpful.
Speaker 3 (46:34):
But I also don't think baseball is a.
Speaker 2 (46:36):
Sport where people are like, all right, now I'm mad
and I'm gonna try harder and do better. Like trying
harder can be bad. Like the thing that helps baseball teams,
like when they're having fun and they're just like a
bunch of goofis like dumb dumbs like that. Yeah, just
like how that that seems to work really well. Yeah,
(46:56):
when you're like damn.
Speaker 1 (46:58):
It, it's like golf, you know, like yeah, you kind
of need to be icy to like have all your
shit together and if like have an error on like
you know, in a fielding error or like not getting
your own.
Speaker 3 (47:10):
Head pitching, Thank god.
Speaker 1 (47:11):
We fucking yo Boo is what I call Yoshio.
Speaker 2 (47:15):
Yeah, he was awesome.
Speaker 1 (47:16):
Freak.
Speaker 2 (47:16):
Anyways, that's been Sports Center. That's been an hour. It
been our Monday Morning trending episode. We are back tomorrow
with a very special whole ass episode of the show.
A spook spooky season is upon us. Until then, be
kind to each other, be kind to yourselves, get your
vaccines while you still can't get your flu shots. Don't

Speaker 2 (48:00):
Factor
I never used Instagram, and suddenly I've been using Instagram
so much. Dude.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
We should tell Jack Wagner about that. Dude, what the
fuck what's going on? I'm lacking wheel power.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
I downloaded Instagram from another dimension?
Speaker 1 (00:22):
Jack?
Speaker 2 (00:22):
You did what? From another dimension? All these girls another
That's what we should bring to it and be like,
there's a song that we feel like it's from another dimension.
(00:45):
This is the way his voice changes, That's not how
he was talking a second ago.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
I had this. I saw this music video being shot
in Shinjuku, Japan when I was that summer. I was
there and I was like.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
What does your old?
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Yeah, because I'm old, and I was like, the fuck,
that's like Japanese like municipal workers. And I kept it
moving because I was like, I'm not really fucking with
the Beastie boys. And then the song came out and
I was like, I am again, let's go.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Never never really had bars, but those songs do sound great.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
It's weird how few quotables they have.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Now, don't you make me? It's like, the most quotable
line to me is.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
That's about it rock?
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Yeah, It's like the little ad libs and ship like
that I feel I do feel.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Like they are no quotables, they have no lines. What
is the harder rapping bar they're rapping? I like my
sugar with coffee and cream.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Yeah, it's the only.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Bar bars, But I'm pretty sure they just like got
that from overhearing an old person.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
That's the real gang is something.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
I like my sugar with coffee and cream.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
If you know what I'm saying, young lady anyway, can

Speaker 3 (02:49):
I got kids, man, Miles of Grave.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Dude, you sorry, you're twisted in the head.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Some people were putting dropping some treehouse of horrors akas
in there because when you were gone, we spent an
inordinate amount of time at the end of the show
trying to figure out our skew tree House of Horror Names.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Piles of Grave is pretty good. Oh my name is
Jackie Brian. That over is Miles Gray. And this is
the episode where we tell you we check in. It's
Monday morning, where we are check in on what was
happening over the weekend. We also check in with ourselves,
tell you what's going on with us by telling you
something we think is underrated, something we think is overrated. Miles,
(03:30):
what is something that you think is underrated?
Speaker 1 (03:35):
God, this is so stupid.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Underrated. I'm just seeing what it is underrated For me.
Name's gonna have to.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Be me, It's gotta be dude. Flies fuck, Okay, I
didn't know. It's probably been in countless b roll in
like art films or something, but I was.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Out saying fly as fuck. You're saying flies the insects.
Insects get it from the back. Uh huh yeah, they
like they get down from the and I didn't. I
don't know, for whatever reason. I just didn't think of
it until they.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Started having sex on a chair I was sitting on
and I was like, what the fuck? Yeah, I was like,
that looked like that one fly was given the other
fly the business from the back.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Was there a movement or it just like landed on
its back and just kind of stayed there.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
It was I didn't see. I couldn't look. I'm not
gonna lie and catch anything.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
What's the stroke game?
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Like? Yeah, I don't know. This stroke game was strong
on this fly. But the first time it just first
time it caught my eye. The one fly was hitting
it from the back round was in that position. Then
they then they were chasing each other and then they
went on the other arm wrist and they were doing
the same thing. What the fuck I think? And I
googled it to fly as fuck and then yes, they
(04:59):
do do. For whatever reason, I just thought, like bugs
like just do like weird egg shit, you know what
it's like swim by, give it a little a misting
and then that's exactly. I didn't know these insects like
to copulate, but yeah, they do. So anyway, I was
(05:20):
last Friday years old when I learned, and then I
was just like, wow, this is this is really interesting.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
This is really interesting.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
And I also learned that male flies or like they
get around, they get around. Come on, yeah, yep.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
I've always had a feeling about male flies when I
saw them land and like start rubbing their greedy mits together.
You know, I'm like, oh, like a horny middle aged
man rubbing their mits together.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
Tonight.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
I see some flies that could be having my baby.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Nasty landing on ship and just fucking in front of everyone. Yeah,
right there in front of God and everyone.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Yeah, I mean really interesting, like once you start reading
about it, like the female fly and like store the
sperm so like it's like in a to go cup
just you know, fertilize on demand.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Pretty yeah, very interesting stuff all about that and everyone. Hey,
speaking of telling your kids about sex things, Uh, my
underrated has to do with the movie hocus Pocus and
just the kind of weirdness of the universe.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
That I just read. Another fact. I'm so sorry. Yes,
in other house, flis the female penetrates the male using
the egg laying tube. All right, enough said, just so
you know, I am all kinds of ways boom, sorry,
fly freaky shit from Miles Gray getting pegged.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
They're pegged.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
I didn't mean it. Rep hocus Focus.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Yeah, was the last time you watched the movie hocus
Pocus last Thursday?
Speaker 3 (06:57):
Uh for real?
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Yeah? Or Wednesday right before her magicy He took a trip.
We watched it with the Geist child with the guys.
Child tried to watch Casper because he likes ghosts and shit. Yeah,
he was like he didn't really get the really amazing
eighties cameos that happened in the beginning, like father Guido
Sarducci that like SNL character, isn't that the isn't that.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
The guy called yeah father Garducci. Yeah, they were like
fucking Roman Catholics.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Am I right?
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Guys exactly? Don I'm like, you don't know Don Novello
from SNL kid, But yeah, no, I watched. We got
through about half.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Of it before he was like, what the fuck is this?
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Yeah, my kids are very like anti this movie at first,
but then we got some laughs. It was a blast,
definitely better than I remembered, because I think I watched
it originally when I was like a teen and was
like trying to be a centophile as a personality, and
like I was watching with my little sister.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
I watched it, so maybe five years ago.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
For the first time, it's it's a revision history of
the Salem witch trials. Yes, where the the trials were correct,
that they were right these were witches and so they
catch these three witches red handed hang them. They're brought
back from the dead because our main lead character, so
(08:20):
that three hundred years later, our main lead character, I
gotta think fit. Would you guess fifteen years old at that?
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Yeah? Yeah, maybe fourteen.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Fifteen years old. I mean he reads as like a
you know, sophomore at most in high school. Yes, he
lights a candle that it says not to light, never
do that, and the curse says that if the candle
is lit by a virgin, you bring them back. And
he is promptly roasted by everyone from his six year
(08:57):
old sister. Yep, his six year old sister no what
a virgin is and is like, great job, virgin. Like
right away, there's like a part where they're like telling
a grown adult that they think is a cop, like
because he's dressed as a cop for Halloween. They're like, look,
this is what happened. Uh, you know, we brought these
wishes back for the dead, and like, you know, my
(09:18):
brother lit it because he's a virgin, and the grown
adults like whoa, whoa, whoa whoa craziest thing that I
just heard there, takes him aside and it is like,
you're really a virgin man.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Yep, yep, it's it's the fixation on that kid being
a virgin the entire film. It's funny because, like you
were saying, I never watched it as a kid. I
watched it as an adult five years ago, and I
was like, what the fuck they're talking about this kid
being a virgin? Like in the movie this eight year olds,
(09:49):
but this was like nineties. Shit is talking about like
do you's a virgin?
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Pocas walked so American Pie could run?
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Yes, you know, yep. It's there's a lot of debate though.
There are a lot of people who say, like, in
like which terms, if that means a sexual virgin or something.
Because I kind of got into it once I saw it.
I'm like, are they really just being like, oh, this
kid doesn't fuck?
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Yeah, I mean it certainly seems like that. I mean
I was around that age at that time. There was
not a there's not some alternate definition of virginity. I
did tell my I told my kids that it meant
that he had never kissed anyone.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Which he comes home and he's like, Dad, I lost
my virginity, Like oh shit, Like no, I gotta kiss
on the cheek. Oh God, what have I done.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
The very last line of the movie is a fourteen
year old Puritan who is like, has been you know,
resurrected from having to live as a cat for three
hundred years, you know. And his line is to his
like seven year old sister being like, yeah, it's crazy story.
This candle got lit by a frick can Vergin, Like,
(11:02):
that's the last line of the movie. Is like a
Puritan roasting him for being a virgin, Right, Puritan, Like,
I don't.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
Know, Yeah, that's how it be.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
It does it does be that way.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
It triggering for you when you were on that scouting
trip and an eleven year old called you out for
being a virgin. Oh right, you're talking about I thought.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
You were talking about my work as a scout leader. No, yeah,
I mean that's a that's a story that I've told
on this show.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Story.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
My dad basketball coach, went on a recruiting trip to
you know this like trailer park neighborhood and there's basketball
hoop outside. So I was just like, he was like,
stay out here shoot hoops while, you know, go and
talk to this young man. And uh group of kids
came around and were shooting hoops with me and immediately
(12:00):
we're like, this kid's a virgin.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
I think I was twelve.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
I remember it was the same trip where I finished
the book Jurassic Park, and the movie hadn't come out yet.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
So it might have been like, yeah, Jurassic Park.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
I was like my parents would have would describe me
as a bookworm.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
I was like that was that was.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
My personality industry, and they're just like, yeah, this kid,
this kid's definitely a virgin. So they made me admit
that I was a virgin, and then like we're bringing
other people over to talk to me about the fact
that I was a virgin, like I was a I
was an oddity, you know, it was a curio.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Such a such a thing in the nineties. Man, this
it was we were. It was so hyper sexual, and
they're like coming out of the eighties into the nineties,
they like because there's just so there was so much
virgin talk all the time. And I remember I I knew,
I don't know, probably kindergarten what a virgin was. Yeah,
but that was also because I've told this story before,
(13:02):
because I got the sex talk at six years old
when I went to the Aids Walk and my dad
had to show me what condoms, like, what condoms were
not with a flashlight.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Okay, you were a hard living kindergartener when you learned.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
That was that And also TLC like everybody had condoms
and shit on and I was like, Dad, what are
all these things everywhere?
Speaker 3 (13:20):
Right?
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Right? He's like, it's your flashlight.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
What's that cool pair of glasses she's wearing. The one
thing I was like talking about the pure like the
fact that a Puritan thought it was weird that he
was a virgin. And then I remember this cracked article
we did that was like one theory on history is
that the Puritans actually like had lots of rules around
not having sex, right, and like that's what lasts with us.
(13:47):
But the reason they had to have that many rules
is because everyone was constantly fucking everywhere. Like there are
like eyewitness accounts of people that're being like, yeah, goodie
Marshall was like in a bush fucking like and like
in town square like get getting caught fucking on their
front porch and stuff. So that could be historically accurate. Yeah,
(14:12):
that the Puritan fourteen year old was like I still
a virgin, sis, I can't believe it, but.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
It is just wild.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
I don't know, it's a very like Disney Disney Kid
movie that just repeatedly is like do you fucking believe
this shit. I also want to give an honorable mention
to the movie Sleepway Camp. I watched The Last Halloween
for the first time, the nineteen eighty three slasher movie.
It's just having a moment, Like I'm seeing it covered
(14:40):
by a bunch of like different film podcasts. Uh it's
I like hear people like bring it up in conversation.
It's just a it's a pretty standard Friday the Thirteenth
style thing where like kids go to sleep away camp
and people start getting murdered one by one, and then
there's a truly wild twist at the end that I'm
not gonna But like, the other thing that's weird about
(15:02):
is like all the adults are just like fucking creeps,
and it's like, that's not the they're not the slasher.
It's just that is ambiently what's happening in the background.
So I'm just wondering like if that's if that's having
a moment because of that or right. Anyways, those are
our underrated hocus pocus Sleepway Camp and the fact of
(15:24):
fly as fuck?
Speaker 3 (15:25):
What is something you think is overrated?
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Overrated Western colonial world traditions of honoring family. I saw
this video of this, like I'm assuming like a Nigerian mom,
there's like I don't know, this is like a Orubin
tradition of this. Of these kids they honor their mother
by like chanting by Oh, it's like this like this
(15:49):
is a way they're honoring their mother. And I was
so touched by this. But it's specifically chanting because they
are calling all of her spirits back. Hm hmm. That
let me just read like this one description of how
people are saying it. She's calling so this is like
a mo I'll play some of the audio. This is
the mom. This is a child chanting to her.
Speaker 4 (16:07):
Mom, and this mom is just taking it in. But
this is like a ceremony to honor her mom says,
she's calling out her soul from every mission that she went,
that she sent it on, that gave away her power.
Her chance is somadic sonic force that.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Calls her spirit back into her body so she can
complete her mission and live on purpose. The voice is
full of love, but it's a love we don't recognize
because we have been reared on the sacarine sentimental love
of eurocentricity in Hollywood. I was like, what, Wow, this
video is powerful.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
By the way, if you're picturing that and you're just
like picturing like some formal ceremony that's just happening in
a living room. The mom is just like on a couch.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Yeah, and then by the end she like charge sits
up and she starts to tear up. Yeah, And this
is like a thing. I think it's so visceral. There
are a lot of black people in the comments, which
I get because there's so many people being removed from Africa.
You're like, this is genetically encoded in me for some
I'm I don't know, Like I don't know. I started
(17:07):
watching this video. Don't even read the captions. It just
said happy birthday, Mama. And I watched and I'm like,
what the fuck is going on? And I felt all
this shit swirling up? And when I read the description,
I was like, man, like I could connect that so
quickly that this was some some kind of evocation. And
I was so touched by this, and I was like
God with the emptiest fucking gestures and like America and things.
(17:29):
It's like I buy you this where it's like the
idea of acknowledging a parent, like a mother's dedication, that
somehow her dedication renders her slightly weaker from having to
give her power to look after her family, to just
be there as a parent, as a pillar within a family,
(17:51):
that the process to honor them is to if to
call these spirits back into their body to rejuvenate them.
Was just so fucking touching and so beautiful. I was
just like God, this was just just really beautiful to watch,
and I was just like damn, I A. I think,
like most I think African American people, you just long
(18:12):
for this deeper connection to Africa and all of these
traditions that you know innately it's in your bones somehow. Yeah,
I don't know why, because really we've been in these
bodies have been in Africa much longer than they were
in America. But there's just generally too just that concept
of acknowledging parenthood in this way of like it is
(18:35):
this process to dedicate yourself to love other people, that
it's it's a selfless act that you It can weaken you,
it can diminish you. But to acknowledge that in a
way to say, like how do I reconfigure how do
I reintroduce all that energy back to you to give
you something back because you've poured it all into me.
(18:55):
I think it's beautiful.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
And I was like, yeah, giving their life force to
like giving their life to you. You know, they're life
force and like to have a way to like just
like actually do something from your that's like very evidently
like from your soul like back to them is very cool.
It's it gets at like I mean, we're going to
talk about this on tomorrow's episode, but just like this
(19:19):
version of Western culture that's like cut off from any
sort of spiritual like you know, the unconscious power of
like all these traditions, and you know where we live
in a world that just assumes this is it and
then like there's like a weird version of Christianity laid
on top of it. But everything is like very dry
(19:40):
and wrote unless you have to belong to like a
church that is you know. So that yeah, fucking Art
dude really fucked us up with his duel. Really I
blame Dakart. Dick cart is the overrated fuck that dude.
H My overrated is how just nor normal? Our spam
(20:00):
situation is we were talking about how Chinese scammers apparently
made one billion dollars off that toll scam last year.
That where I think a lot of Americans said, you know,
American listeners were like, oh yeah, I got hit with that.
Like the it's basically them being like, hey, you went
through this toll. We've all been through tolls and been
(20:21):
unsure if it actually took from you. Owe this money,
and it's like compounding and basically just like hit us
here with this money. And they made a billion dollars
off that last year. And so as part of that,
I was just like people outside America, like, is this
just in the United States that it's just bad because
like my phone is I get probably you know, three
(20:45):
to five spam calls a day, more spam calls than.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
Regular calls get seven.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Yeah, And so some people got back to us reporting him.
From Germany, I get a scam text about every two weeks.
I've received call in the past, but the quality of
them was so bad that I was never fooled by
them at any point. Second person, to answer your question
on the rate of scam calls outside the US, I
live in Germany and was worried about the uptick and
(21:11):
scam calls I was getting. I've gotten six all year,
a whole year.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
God fucking hell.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
In Yorkshire, no scam calls. I returned to the US.
This is the third person. I returned to the US
and deleting texts and ignoring calls constantly. And then Melbourne,
Australia one scam call per week? Has it one spam
call per week? Yeah, and that's still too many scam calls.
But that's Brian the editor of Mexico.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Not a single scam call here all year, one scam
call per week, which is I think the highest rate
that we got on this report from abroad is one
forty second one to over forty two of what we're.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Experiencing in the United States.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Unreal.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
It's a bad it's a bad system, you guys. It's
not the This is not the one.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
I think, just like ambiently being here is so bad
for your health and on every level, you know what
I mean, like not to mention the lack of actual
like safety nets for like you know, socialized care, but
just like everyone's trying to scam you. Everyone's got a gun.
Everyone could be a Nazi. People are kidnapping.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
It's just like, seems bad. It seems bad.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
I really just don't even want to, Like I was
just telling you earlier, I'm like, I don't even want
to fucking phone anymore.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
It's yeah, it's become.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
Truly like a vector for suffering. Yeah, and not just
because of the text you send me during basketball games.
It's not just that. It's just generally like scam calls.
I get it. Fucking I get called by this Florida
number three times a day in the morning. Yeah, from
like six am to eight am. I'm using getting three
of them. Then they lay off and it's like.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
A bunch of other bullshit throughout the day.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
I'm waiting a call on a callback from like a
park ranger that's like out in a part of LA
that's you know, not where I'm It's not an area
code that I'm used to seeing. So like I've had
to answer a couple because I'm like waiting for this callback,
and it's always yeah, it's just always Hi, Hey, how
(23:19):
are you?
Speaker 1 (23:21):
Oh good? I wanted to call about your reverse mortgage.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Yeah, I actually just took out a sick reverse mortgage. Yeah,
we're actually so Sometimes the calls should be listened to,
You should hear them out.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
Yeah, And like.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
There was this one guy that's your fear reverse mortgage.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Yeah, I'll talk to more when he comes back.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Yeah, there is one where like they they accidentally sent
me forty thousand dollars and I had to send it
back to them. But that was just a minor error.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
All right, let's take a quick break. We'll be right back,
and we're back.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
And let's see real briefly, We're we're now hearing that
Donald Trump had a physical that he required an MRI.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
Yeah, so like he went to like he had a
second one like a month or two ago, and everyone's like, yes,
of course your second physical, you get suddenly out of nowhere.
Of course the harm great health. But he basically we
found out that he didn't talk about what it was.
And then we found out that he was getting an
MRI mm hmm and maybe a cognitive exam. And everyone's like, oh, interesting,
(24:42):
get an MRI just for your checkup.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
Usually No, I've never gotten an MR brain imaging.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
At your checkup. So a lot of people are just like,
what the fuck I mean again, this is just the
evidence is just there for everyone to see that he's
not in good health.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Mister President, you're nailing it so hard that you're actually
a medical Marvel. We're actually we want to study you
like they study the Hulk in the Marvel universe. He said.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
He basically said that on Air Force One. He's like, yes,
you know, they they said they've never seen anything like it.
My brain is so damaged, like like it's really like
listen to him, it's truly. I mean, whenever he says
something is good, I'm we should always just assume it's
the worst thing you could ever think of.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
He started out, both for red mentioned events panical imagings.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
Yeah, I got an MRI. I was perfect. It was perfect.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
I mean I gave you.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
I gave you the full results.
Speaker 3 (25:40):
We had an m R MRI and uh in a machine,
you know, the.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
Whole thing, and it was perfect.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
If they want in particular, you could ask the doctors.
In fact, we have doctors traveling up with us. But
I think they gave you a very conclusive Nobody has
ever given you reports like I gave And then he
goes on like I gave you, I gave you the most.
No one's lied to you about my health like I
have so the facts according to him are that like,
(26:10):
he went in there, they couldn't believe how good everything
looked like, almost no context for why he went in there.
Oh but hey, if you're having trouble drinking glasses of water,
come back in two weeks. Huh.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
The evidence that, like what one would say, seem like
the objective facts of the situation are he was required,
after you know, recently getting a medical checkup, he was
required to go back in for a very serious battery
of tests that seemed to suggest that they were looking
for something, and that he's traveling with doctors everywhere, which
(26:44):
also you don't know if that standard operating procedure rapid.
I'm traveling with forty doctors, the whole team of doctors
team looking working on me every night as I'm asleep,
trying to make sure that I keep breathing. Everything's really good.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
That's sort of having Ben Carson might actually help, because
Magic is a good neurosurgeon, gifted hands.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
Guy's got some of the best hands.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
But yeah, the other thing that's also just funny. Everyone
on the internet's like, yeah, right, cognitive test, which I
always get when I go because nothing's wrong with my cognition.
That's why you're getting any kind of cognitive test. Everything's fine,
everything's fine. Probably not anything to do a little droopy
face on nine to eleven.
Speaker 3 (27:26):
And the other things we've seen that was wild.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
I didn't know you could fix that. Maybe, you know, yeah,
I don't know. You could just suck it back to
work if it's light, Yeah you can.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
Yeah. It's also just funny too, Like along with that,
you're getting MRIs. He keeps lying about fucking solving wars.
That's like his new like old man senility obsession. He's like,
you know how many wars I stopped?
Speaker 2 (27:51):
Like, dude, save him lives. Man up. Talking to Saint Peter,
He's like, hey, just just fy I did it? Other one?
It was sick?
Speaker 1 (28:01):
The other one. I'll me DJ Khaled. But for peacemaking,
all right. We also have Kamala Harris news.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
What is this last year that she made headlines for
suggesting she might run for president, And unfortunately the headlines
are from this weekend, not last year. This weekend. In
an interview with the BBC, she said she might possibly
be the next president, arguing I'm not done. I have
lived my entire career as a life of service, and
(28:29):
it's in my bones, unless you think bones is too
weird a thing to say, in which case, it's in
my blood. We've focused group tested both of them and
they were pretty close to one another.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
So next interview, it's in my blood. Wow. Interesting, I
mean this is also wow. I don't even know, man
like broadly, even before I get into the candidates, it's
going to be solved electorally, no, is it? No? No,
probably not. But that's where that's it's like so infury.
I wish people were like, we gotta get fucking serious here.
(29:01):
They're they're like Indiana just called another special session to redraw,
carve up their maps to ship out another Republican seat
for the House, Like they are maneuvering to basically render
voting like it so it becomes moot.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
Yeah, but yeah, I.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
Mean yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
Look, I'm open, I'm open, Kamala, do you just do
you want to talk that popular shit? I don't know
if you will? No, no, no, no no.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
But she She dismissed Poles, in which she's ranked behind
the rock, saying, if I listen to Poles, I would
have not run for my first office or my second office,
and I certainly wouldn't be sitting here, which is a
wild thing for someone who likes so definitely is poll
oriented and trying to just can't answer questions on like
(29:48):
in the moment because I feel like she's waiting on
the polling to shake up.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
Have to like back her head and get a Brahma
bull tattoo on her fucking arm like the rock or
something shit and be like, I mean here I am.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
I do sometimes think it's fun interesting to think about
what it's like to be one of these, Like she's
got to be going through a weird dissonance where she
had like everyone being like, you've got this, we think
you're a great candidate, you're gonna win, and then she
lost and the truth came like crashing down around her
and everyone else. I feel like like I wasn't knowingly lying.
(30:25):
I was like, you know, hoping that she would be
a viable candidate, but like it just must be. She
also had a spark when she started, and then she
like her shit turned to garbage, as the song says,
so that didn't help either. But I like she, as
we were saying before we started recording, the people who
(30:46):
have limitations are oftentimes the last to know.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
Yeah, yeah, you know, especially if you're powerful and people's
checks depend on you.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
Yeah, and that you're in an echo chamber where those
checks are clearing whether or not you all are actually
a viable candid just as long as you believe you
are enough to like actually make a run for office.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
And to be and you know, for Kamala being a
part of the establishment, the whole, all the machinery, the consultants,
the people who you try to derive wisdom from about
the reality around you, they're all saying some version of
like it's these fucking freak progressive bums and groups. Yeah, yeah,
they're fucking everything up. We need to get rid of
(31:27):
these people. That's not what people want. They want they
want us to be like, oh okay, it's okay if
you have a little Nazi tattoo, Yeah, bang with that.
Also okay, oh you were okay.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
I mean it's it's very predictable. But again, I mean
like sure, I mean Gavin Newsom's also talking about running.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
Also, I'm like, yeah, I think there's gonna be momentum
behind Gavin Newsom. I think, like that seems like that's
a lot like the mainstream media's candidate, you know, just
like this is this is the dude, this is Bay.
Did you see what his social media consultants did on Twitter.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
Yeah, it's like the two rich kids are fighting in
Trump and Gavin Newsome. It's like, well, our rich kid
is like he's got to slip back hair and he
talks shit and also hates the unhoused.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
That's right. This reminds me of like when during the
run up to the twenty twenty election when people are like,
don't look now, but Mike Pence has a shot and
all the articles were just like billionaires saying that.
Speaker 3 (32:30):
I was just like, uh huh, yep, all right.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
We also have an update on Treasury Secretary Scott Bessett,
who gave an interview with ABC News in which he
discussed trade negotiations with China and their American soybean boycott.
China's not buying soybeans from the US and it's killing
soybean farmers.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
Uh, and we're not the farmers.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
Yeah, don't worry. He this guy gets it. Why does
he get it so much? M hm?
Speaker 3 (32:57):
He is also a being farmer.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
Yeah, dude, he said, I too have felt pain m hmm. Yeah,
are you only a three thousand dollars suit? The fuck
are you talking about?
Speaker 2 (33:11):
But he's like holding a pitchfork with a straw hat. Yeah,
American gothic.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
How is he?
Speaker 3 (33:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (33:16):
What's the what's the billionaire or you know, hyper wealthy? Yeah,
logic here, I still got former head fund manager worth
six hundred million dollars who leases out He leases out
land he owns to actual farmers. Oh so, oh he's
a farmer landlord, the landlord of farmers, and in that
(33:38):
respect is essentially that's a landlord saying they're they're a
working class renter.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
I get it, dude, I'm also working in class.
Speaker 3 (33:49):
Oh really, we're Oh I didn't I didn't know that.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
You you you.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
I live in a three hundred square foot apartment in
New York City in the sense that I am the
landlord of one of those. Yeah, I had walked inside
it and said, you, I will not help you with
any of this shit.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
Here, talk to Joe PESHI you're backed up plumbing not
my problem, asshole.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
It's definitely yeah, I feel your pain because like my
tenants are really late with rent recently. I really feel
the pain. Shut the fuck up obscene. Like, yes, God,
I feel like everyone gets that this is so fucked up,
but I think so many people are too fucking busy
to know how fucked up things are. I really, I
(34:33):
really want people to remind your friends out there who
aren't engaged, how dire the situation is. I've like had
to tell like friends over the weekend who are like, Hey,
what's going on.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
I'm like to it, this guy Trump's a loose cannon.
Huh as a dickhead. Huh, please prepare, prepare. Uh, Let's
take a quick break. We'll be right back, and we're back.
(35:08):
And not a great time to be flying in the
United States, I would say. Over the weekend, US airports
reported more than twenty incidents of air traffic controller shortages
on Saturday alone.
Speaker 3 (35:22):
Oh, just on Saturday, Just on Saturday.
Speaker 2 (35:24):
Oh okay, cool, cool cool eight eight nope, eight thousand
flights sorry, one.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
Hundred and thousand, eighty eight thousand flights.
Speaker 2 (35:34):
Eight thousand flight delays. This is according to Transportation Secretary
Sean Duffy, who has warned that this problem is only
going to get worse if the shutdown continues, and also
noted that if you are a loyal listener to this show,
you may remember that air traffic controllers have been very
worried about this for a long time. They've been taking
(35:56):
on second jobs to supplement the lost income of the shutdown.
But they were already doing that before the shutdown.
Speaker 1 (36:03):
Hey, they had a lot of cuts.
Speaker 2 (36:04):
Huh Yeah, Like what the fuck?
Speaker 1 (36:07):
I mean, I don't know if this will change anything
because right now Democrats, as of this week, they said,
we're not we're not budgeting on this, Like we're not
gonna let them fucking completely shit on healthcare. I mean
we voted, I mean, some of some of us voted
for it earlier. But like, but now the rubbers are
hitting the road, meeting the road, we're against it. But
(36:29):
the last shutdown ended because of the pressure because of
all the air traffic being completely clogged up. That was
after thirty five days. I don't know if that's going
to change anything because this time around, like this administration's
like yeah, I mean, I don't know. The more unstable
the country becomes, probably the highly the likelihood of us
being able to just declare martial law goes up too.
Speaker 2 (36:51):
Right, they can do their job at gunpoint, I'll tell
you that much. Yeah, it seems bad. You know, they're
they're saying, reportedly quote more concerned about issues that were
already causing them problems prior to the shutdown, including controllers
being overworked amid staffing shortages. They also resent being used
as the political pawn and the pressure point to see
(37:13):
when a shutdown should end, which seems to be Yeah,
that this is the thing that like makes politicians be like, well, fuck,
I need to get out to Tahoe this weekend, you know,
I mean, is.
Speaker 1 (37:23):
There anyway can I Can I get a private air
traffic controller I staffed there just to do my fights?
Speaker 3 (37:29):
Not possible?
Speaker 1 (37:30):
Can we do that?
Speaker 2 (37:31):
Could my private chef do the air traffic controller? Guys
really great, really a smart guy.
Speaker 1 (37:37):
Man. You should see him, he like, because you know
my family, we're all picky eaters, you know what I mean.
So he'll make four different dinners at the same damn.
Speaker 2 (37:44):
Time, four different kinds of hot dog. It's our employer
that's slapping us in the face, Grave said, referring to
the frustration that Congress is still being paid while the
government is shut down.
Speaker 1 (37:57):
Yeah, and Trump's taking trips. He's fucking building a ballroom
reportedly at at least three hundred million dollars. He keeps
adding numbers to that figure. Uh, and they just they're
they're giving away with like forty billion to Argentina. But yeah,
there's no there's no money for fucking food assistance or
any of this. It's yeah, it's it's really uh again,
(38:20):
like this is the kind of chaos. It's like just
just from an administration that is, you know, no concept
of the norms, and you know Frankly is trying to
erase any concept of norms. Yeah, but I don't think
they understand that all of those things put everyone at risk.
You know, it's not just like, oh, well, if you
got to catch a flight this week, that's boo hoo
(38:42):
for you. Uh No, everyone is unsafe. If we're wondering if.
Speaker 2 (38:46):
He thinks that he has like separate air traffic control,
I mean the president might, but you know, like everyone
needs that web of air traffic controllers, like that's right.
You can't just be like, yeah, I got my own guy,
got my own guy handling.
Speaker 1 (39:01):
Sure, that's what they'll I mean, that's that seems like
the cynical wealthy thing to do, just like we've seen
with like fire like firefighting too, where they're like, oh,
I've got my own fire department for a wildfire.
Speaker 3 (39:12):
Yeah, I'm not using LAFD.
Speaker 2 (39:13):
I should democratize air traffic controllers so like it's uber
where people could just hop in and do the job
when they're nearby and or not even nearby, just to
have like an Internet connection and then they can.
Speaker 1 (39:25):
Just jack fire up the fucking control panel for all
the flights in LAX right now, you want to get.
Speaker 2 (39:31):
Up it for three hours and do do a round
of a do a run of air traffic controlling.
Speaker 1 (39:36):
The thing is that so many these Republicans believe that
they live on terra firma without realizing that they're undercutting
all these things that to them represent the ground they
stand on, right, you know what I mean, Like, I
don't I don't think you understand what that means when
people go hungry, that you think that's just going to
be limited to certain areas, like those effects permeate And
(39:59):
I'm and again, many people that are this wealthy can
insulate themselves to a certain extent. But if you're not
that way, even if you're like Poppin', you're still out
here in a world where there is tremendous suffering and
that's going to manifest in ways that again, you want
to nip that in the butt. You want to help people.
You don't want people out here trying to survive because
you have a cruel government that even with like the
(40:21):
food Assistant, that's because I don't pay anyone a living wage.
That's why we have to have these programs. But all
of every we are all very much connected, whether they
like it or not. And I think it's like the
idea that they don't think any of this is gonna
boomerang back, not necessarily.
Speaker 2 (40:35):
They're gonna be surprised. They're gonna be surprised how connected
we all are. I feel like at some point, hey,
we should connect. They love to connect though, Oh.
Speaker 1 (40:45):
Yeah, certain thing back on that connection.
Speaker 2 (40:47):
And finally, box office report. So the big movie debut
this weekend was delivered Me from Nowhere, the Bruce Springsteen one.
At least that was according to estimates heading in to
the weekend. This was the story of Bruce Springsteen making Nebraska,
which is a sad album he made in a bedroom.
(41:10):
It is I love the album, but it is a
like the crazy thing about it was that he made
an album of demos essentially like songs he was writing
in a bedroom with a guitar, and then everyone was like,
come on, man, you rock People like to see you
rock out, including movie audiences to the degree though, like
(41:32):
this movie about the making of like a quiet, tortured
album by a guy going through depression, like the trailers
are all him, like performing on stage like it's just
gonna be a Bruce Springsteen concert film Jeremy Allen White
from the Bear rather performing on stage as Bruce Springsteen,
but instead the number one movie at the box office
this weekend was Chainsaw Man, the movie. Yep, another anime
(41:57):
success story. Last month, Demon's Layer set a genre record
when it debuted. Demon Slayer has been been killing into
the box.
Speaker 1 (42:07):
Playing the box office, if I may say so myself.
Speaker 2 (42:09):
Yeah, slaying those demons in Hollyweirdy you bought Infinity Castle
seventy million debut, Yes, Jesus, Chris Due.
Speaker 1 (42:21):
Just shows you that it's it's so funny, like our
world is filled with so many groups that you don't
realize exists, that are like in lockstep with each other,
like these interest things, and I know it's so funny.
How many people. There was someone my friend's dad was like,
there was like these these like cartoon movies at the
movie theater, like they weren't Disney.
Speaker 2 (42:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (42:42):
Yeah, it's called anime and.
Speaker 2 (42:43):
That hang, and it's barely mentioned that the young protagonist
was a virgin. Yeah, but before I saw one battle
after another. Both of those Demon Slayer and Chainsaw Man
were both like the movies that played before.
Speaker 1 (43:00):
Yeah, the previous yep man. I wish I wish I
watched more anime because I's like the one thing so
many younger people are into now, Yeah, you're on black
and Japanese and like, oh, bro, like do you fuck
with Attack on Titan. I'm like, na, sorry, I'm it.
So I watched I watched Dragon Ball when I was
(43:21):
when I were a lad.
Speaker 2 (43:22):
It is dragon Ball, Kreon, Shin Chang, Chibi.
Speaker 3 (43:26):
Modicle, Sadai Song.
Speaker 1 (43:29):
What else was I watching?
Speaker 2 (43:30):
Nama?
Speaker 1 (43:33):
Those are the kinds of things I was.
Speaker 2 (43:35):
I feel like, once again we're learning our world is small.
Our world has been small up to this point. You know,
we've talked about it with uh webbing, Yama and Otani
and the box office, where it's like, oh, there's people
elsewhere doing awesome ship that has just been like sort
(43:56):
of artificially blocked from you up to this point. Right
now here we go like it. You were a regional
baseball league. You were a regional basketball league for many years. Uh,
you were a regional film industry.
Speaker 1 (44:13):
Yeah yeah, Oh man, well you're gonna go see Chainsaw?
Speaker 2 (44:17):
Man, I don't. I don't think so.
Speaker 1 (44:19):
I just don't know what's going on, So maybe not.
Speaker 2 (44:22):
I do think I might see. I might start because
I tried the Demon Slayer streaming show and I liked it.
I only got like three episodes in, and there's just
something about like stream like when it's just so so
much to get through, you know where I'm just like,
I don't so. But the fact the fact that there's
like a movie version, I think I'm gonna try and
(44:45):
use that as my entry point. Zich Gang, let me
know if I'm I'm fucking up and there's a better
entry point.
Speaker 1 (44:50):
Oh yeah, I would love to hear Zekegang's being like, Okay,
what's what's your gateway anime for Jack? Because it might
not be the film.
Speaker 3 (44:57):
It has to be filmed.
Speaker 2 (44:58):
Don't give me streaming shit, Okay to be a film
seen aka Akira. Yes, I have yeah, yeah, oh Akira.
Oh you're fucking rips dog. Oh yeah, I saw, I
saw a Kira dog. The thing was awesome and like
also one of those things where it's like, oh, this
movie is so influential. Yeah, seriously, the visual language of
(45:21):
like film Springsteen Delivered Me from Nowhere Fell Below. Projections
made just seven million dollars domestically sixteen point one globally,
and the reviews don't seem to be like that crazy.
Bringing it back to the World Series, some people have
pointed out that releasing a movie about a dad Rock
icon on the same date as Game one of the
(45:42):
World Series might have been a mistake.
Speaker 3 (45:44):
So we'll see if the next back up after this.
Speaker 1 (45:46):
But yeah, oh this week, let's just let's just end
it this week. Baby, come on, Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (45:52):
I mean, last time we talked confidently about the Dodgers
on here, they got crushed. It is wild how all
everybody immediately was like, they suck, the Dodgers suck. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (46:05):
I wasn't. I was.
Speaker 1 (46:07):
I was definitely ready. I didn't. I didn't think it
would sweep the Jays and just the the arc, the
narrative going into the World series has been such a
fantasy like that. I was like, they got a lot
of fucking like momentum going into that first game, especially
with us having a break.
Speaker 2 (46:26):
They got the young ass kicked vigorously. They got a
vigorous ass kicking in the first game, which probably was helpful.
Speaker 3 (46:34):
But I also don't think baseball is a.
Speaker 2 (46:36):
Sport where people are like, all right, now I'm mad
and I'm gonna try harder and do better. Like trying
harder can be bad. Like the thing that helps baseball teams,
like when they're having fun and they're just like a
bunch of goofis like dumb dumbs like that. Yeah, just
like how that that seems to work really well. Yeah,
(46:56):
when you're like damn.
Speaker 1 (46:58):
It, it's like golf, you know, like yeah, you kind
of need to be icy to like have all your
shit together and if like have an error on like
you know, in a fielding error or like not getting
your own.
Speaker 3 (47:10):
Head pitching, Thank god.
Speaker 1 (47:11):
We fucking yo Boo is what I call Yoshio.
Speaker 2 (47:15):
Yeah, he was awesome.
Speaker 1 (47:16):
Freak.
Speaker 2 (47:16):
Anyways, that's been Sports Center. That's been an hour. It
been our Monday Morning trending episode. We are back tomorrow
with a very special whole ass episode of the show.
A spook spooky season is upon us. Until then, be
