this one.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Miles my limit. I can you. They did move Thanksgiving
at one point uh in the year in order to
make it earlier so that there was more Christmas shopping.
That that was the thing that historically happened. So are
you thinking that, like that's weird that should be Thanksgiving
is not the important thing. The important thing is Black Friday.
Like the Thanksgiving is just the day before Black Friday
(02:20):
in all reality.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
Yeah, Thanksgiving is the day you obsessed on your computer
or phone to see what can I get for a
cheaper even though it's probably been this ideal at some
point this year and probably closer to what they should
be selling stuff for anyways.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Also, National Play Day with Dad Huh Jack getting out there.
You're playing with dad. My kids are hometowns. You play

fundy shopping reminder day everyone.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
It's also funny. It says it's also blase day. It's
as observed any week, we aren't certain if we should
feel excited or if we should just feel blase about
base day. And it says, however, there are some things
we shouldn't be blase about, for example, contributing to.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Your four oh one K, making your car payment. I
thought they were gonna say world hunger. There's like coins, bitch,
Oh my god, sorry, run me. There are some things

(03:55):
fucking money coins, Jesus croized country run by mobsters. I
do feel like canonically November twenty fifth is Thanksgiving, Like
I know it's the Thursday of you know, like twenty
fifth feels like the day that is Thanksgiving to me,
(04:15):
Like that feels like where it averages out in my brain,
right right, right, So you fucked up Thanksgiving is what
I'm here to say. My name is Jack O'Brien aka
Potatoes O'Brien, a gat mashed potatoes O'Brien, which should actually
be kind of gross if you had to mash the
peppers too, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Yeah, yeah, if you mashed it and then you put
it like in a potato pancake and then fried it
on like a pant that could be good.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Yeah, that's good. That's good. Potatoes O'Brien for people who
don't know, in addition to being my nickname, is a
potato dish that goes way back because America's.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Tavern or something wasn't it didn't We find out the
place that was like it started. It was a place
called Jacks or something.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Yeah. Yeah, it's very very tightly tied into.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
My li Your parents weren't joking about that name. They
loved potatoes, O'Brien. They made it work for you, that's right.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
I'm thrilled to be joined as always by my co
host mister Miles. Yes, it's Miles Greg the Lord of
Lancersham aka the pleased Arsenal supporter, because oh my goodness.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Over the weekend I got to watch Arsenal absolutely destroyed
Tottenham Hotspur in the North London before to one. Yeah,
just yeah, look, it's it's a little special thing for me,
Spike Lee, Zora Mumdani and all the other.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Famous Arsenal supporters out there. Damn living the dream life?
Is that?
Speaker 4 (05:34):
Who?
Speaker 1 (05:34):
So I saw Zorn got like surprised by Oh, Adam Freeland? Yeah?
Was that? Yeah? By Adam Friedland? Was that in Arsenal?
That was a legend ian right right right, right ian
right right right? Uh yeah, he's heard that song before,
he is.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
He's like kind of like the good the uncle to
Arsenal because he was like a huge influential player in
the early nineties and also so too, because he's a
really outspoken black.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Player and a lot of people were giving him shit
because at the time they didn't like that they don't
like that. It's this guy's deal. He should just show up.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Is wild, Like the discourse in sports in the UK,
like where Americans are like, y'all doing this racist bs
still Like to us, it's very clear when we've seen
the discourse around black athletes for decades, like in sports
media or in the in the UK, like they're still
they're still saying stuff that I'm like, we've been saying
this shit for like twenty years, and people are like,
(06:29):
what the fuck a black athlete has to be humble
or else he's not accepted.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
But I getegrated in their racism, like they're behind the curve.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Well, because it felt like remember even like in twenty twenty,
right like after George Floyd died, it felt like people
in Europe were like, damn, at least we don't we
don't have it, we have our shit together.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
I'm like the US and every personal color in those
countries like excuse you, and they're like, oh fuck fuck fuck, yeah,
that's right.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
We're still fair pat settlers that you've never heard of
because they're so old, like literally pity or something.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
You're like, what what is that?
Speaker 4 (06:58):
It's like highly offensive, but it's like like, uh, jiggity biggity,
and it's like, what are you saying?
Speaker 1 (07:04):
That's a classic Saxon term. That's incredibly effective and really
he's saying Miles were thrilled to be joined in our
third seat by one of the funniest comedy writers doing
it anywhere. You know her words from the account birds
rights activist Some More News with Cody Johnston. You know
her voice from podcasts such as Creature Future and Secretly
(07:25):
Incredibly Fascinating with Alex Smith. Please welcome, coming all the
way from Italy, the brilliant, the talented. It's Katie Golden.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
To Katie.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
I thought I thought that was another offensive term that
you're doing people named Katie.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
That's an American named Katie. Yeah, Italy, Yeah, I got
another booka to Katie. Table for two isn't boka mouth.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
I guess it's or basement. It's like opening.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Oh okay, that makes sense. Hm hmm. Kind of nasty,
a little nasty, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Booka game is damn You really have been living in Italy?
How are you? How is it over there? Is it
the holiday season yet in Italy?
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (08:38):
We had we had Halloween. It's catching on here. Uh,
the Americas spreading and we have we do not have Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
We do.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
We do like to introduce the concept to our Italian
friends and they're always uh slightly like they're they're aghast
and a little disgusted that everything goes on the same
plate because they're used to courses where you have like
a preemie and like they when it's like, yeah, no,
you just put your mash taters right next to this
(09:10):
turkey right here, and they're like, so it is a.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Real problem, Like you need to I like have a
dividing line on my plate and then sweet stuff that
like goes well with sweet stuff goes to one, which
is usually ham sweet potato salad, and then I've got
the savory side, which is the turkey gravy stuffing.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
They do have plates like that with the little dividers
like for toddlers. Toddlers, yeah, so you can't get those.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
And I eat with little utensils that look like construction trucks.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Yeah, the ones that you put in your mouth. They
change colors.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Yeah it's blue, that's purple. No, no, no, look at that.
Who put in the mashed potatoes that's blue? All right,
Katie We're thrilled to have you here. We're going to
get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First,
a couple of the things that we're talking about. Uh,
we're talking about the fact that X revealed the location
(10:15):
of some of their accounts and is revealing to me.
The reveal was revealing, downright revealing. Uh, you know, I
I mean, Miles, we always talk about it, usually not
when Katie's on, but we don't trust things from other countries,
and a lot of these accounts not from America like
(10:39):
I expected.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
Yeah, but they're smart, But they're smart. They're on the
right side of history though, if they if they're supporting MAGA,
you know what I mean, that's right. You know, I
don't think it matters if they're operating from Bangladesh or Nigeria.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
You don't think a white cowgirl, uh could organically be
just in Bangladesh. Yeah, Hey, she's a Texan, she's digital,
no bad cowboy girl.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Yeah yeah, yeah, that's normal. It's a normal location, find
a new angle. Yeah. So we'll talk about that briefly.
Just some of our favorite greatest hits from when they
turned the lights on in the bar that is Twitter
turned out. We'll talk about climate talks they had. They
had the big cop thirty down in Brazil and the
(11:25):
same song lobby was fine, right, it was captured. It
was everything fine. Like we've talked before about corporate capture,
but this one feels like literally corporate capture in the
sense that they're they've got guns being held on them
in this like based on what they came away from
it felt like we we didn't get much. So we'll
(11:47):
talk about that. We'll talk about Donald Trump doing the
important work, such as pressuring Paramount to revive the Rush
Hour franchise. Yes, exactly, thank you, thank you, visibility.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
That's my president.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
That's right, and that is my president. Yeah, it is
just wild, Like I don't know, pretty recently it was
weird to me, like reading about history when like, uh,
you know, dictatorial leader was able to be like and
here's what the films are about in the film industry,
(12:20):
and that's where we're at. And he's going with rush Hour,
which is so what It's like Brett Rattner the new
Lenny Reef install or something. Yeah, it would be could be.
We have an update on that Jesus podcast that was
coming out on Fox News with a Star Spangled guest
list of hurst casts list with like Kristen Bell, Brian
(12:41):
Cox and uh that was apparently breaking news to them.
Christin Bell and Brian Cox did not know they were
in this. So we'll talk about that, We'll talk about
Wicked breaking the box office over the weekend, all of
that plenty more. But first, Katie, we do like to
ask our guests, what is something from your search history
that's revealing about who you are.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
I did search for grind set because I wanted to
know what it meant at last, at long last.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
You've been out of the country too long, Katie.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Yeah, it means a grinding mindset, so like.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
You.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
So it's because the grind rhymes with mind and so
you can turn it into a grind set because like
when I was I had like I kind of understood
the concept of its, like you know, hustling or whatever,
but I was like grind set, thinking of like a
gem set or something, or like you have.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
A cell like a tea set to grind, like a
salt and pepper shaker and they're both got the grinders
on them.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
Exactly, Like like, yeah, I have a I'm a nice
pair of of grind sets because I have a grind
set because I have a salt shaker. Yeah, yeah, I
mean it's well, they both grind because it's the it's
the whole peppers and the sea salt. So I've got
they both grind the seasonings out. So I have a
(14:03):
grind set.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
But no, I did.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
I did learn it's a it's it's a mind it's
a portmanteau of grinding and mind set. Yeah. So that's
that's informative, and it does help me understand sort of,
it helps me understand the philosophy behind it, right, because
it's also like you don't have time for saying two
words like a grinding mindset just.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Because you're on You're fucking grizzy. Okay. I'm so excited
to see what this knowledge does for you because I've
been saying Katie, Yeah, we've been saying this. We were
saying this before the show on her grind set a
little bit. If she just kind of understood the grind
of mindset, like if she was just waking up at
four in the morning to work out with Mark Wahlberg
(14:48):
and the Lord, like, I feel like we'd be seeing
like a fucking hockey sticks.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
Exactly what I said was Katie, okay, obviously a baller
plus Italy the home of the fucking Lambeau. I'm like, okay,
so we're going to see her hop out of the
fucking evented or no time. But then we say why
no Lambeau light bulb moment, and we tried, and we impressed.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
This upon you, as Tony, what's this? What's that guy's name?
Speaker 3 (15:15):
Tony Robbin says, I don't mean to impress you, but
impress upon you that you need to get on your
fucking grizzly Adams so you can finally hop in Lambeau.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
And and wait, all seriously, when did you when did
you go? All right, I'll bite what's this grind? Set?
Like I'm gonna? I don't know what anyone's talking about anymore.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
I was just like, you know, I should this is
the day, This is the day I should learn what
this is?
Speaker 1 (15:50):
Yeah, you know, and watch out world, I'm coming yep, Katie,
what is something you think is underrated?
Speaker 4 (15:58):
I think it's really underrated to be I don't know
if this word is allowed to be a kind of
like a pussy about migraines, like and headaches, so like
if you start like being being a whimp about a
headache that you're getting or migraine that you're getting, do
not try to tough it out. Don't like have the
(16:21):
attitude that like maybe I could just like handle this
on my own. And like if you if you immediately
chick it out, it's so much better. Like I've learned this,
so like I get occasional migraines and you know, headaches,
and if I immediately start coddling myself like a little baby,
(16:41):
it makes it a lot.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
It actually goes away a lot faster.
Speaker 4 (16:44):
So like I'll do my tile and all or my
aceta minefin whatever you want to call it, a seta whatever,
And yeah, profen proben, prof dark room, lie down, eyes closed,
and it like it has changed sort of my headache
(17:08):
in migraine experience from something that maybe lasts like an
hour or more to like ten minutes. Right, it just
says as soon and I get the migraines with like
the auras, so as soon as I like I once
asked my husband, like is it normal, like if you
see sort of a shimmering blob in your vision, does
(17:30):
that ever happen to you? And you said no, I
was like, Okay, I think this might be my migraine.
So I get like the like the sort of shimming,
and I've learned that first time. And as soon as
I see it, before I start feeling any pain, you know,
I just like immediately medicine cabinet, lie down the dark room,
maybe some maybe some Tibetan singing bowls, whatever.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
Whatever you like, Katie, what's the alternative you said, so
when you don't what that's like when you go out
and you just like bang your head against the wall and.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
This will get it all. I'm gonna say, I'm gonna
be honest, Katie. This, uh, this approach to migrains of
like taking taking a rest, getting in the dark room
sounds like pre grindset, Katie threaking to me, where like
I don't know you You're not like just I can't.
I don't have time for migrants, which is like how
(18:21):
the grindset would have you approach these like Nope, no
time because nice triass.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
You can't have a headache if your head is fully
in the game, thank you. See, there's no head to
be ached anyway, Like if you.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
Just kind of like maybe if you shine a bright
light into your eyes as you're getting them, like right
to get it to like actually go stronger.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Yeah that'll Yeah, it'll flame out easier. You gotta flame
it out. You gotta flame it exactly. Run up to
a lighthouse and just put your face on the straight
on terrible with that?
Speaker 4 (18:57):
Would if you did that with a modern lighthouse, I
think you'd be fine with the classic lighthouse.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Would that just burn your face off?
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Oh yeah?
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Does anyone?
Speaker 1 (19:06):
And no more headache? Thank you? Yeah? Yeah, I think
that's really good advice. I find migraines to be fascinating,
Like they they're just nobody really understands them. Nobody. They're
just like yeah, so I start being able to see
like mystical shit around me that nobody else can see.
And then like it's on a clock five minutes later
(19:29):
or whatever, I am having a headache that shouldn't be
medically possible.
Speaker 4 (19:34):
Right. Yeah, there's the like glitterally unicorn face where you're
like ooh pretty, and then you realize you're on the clock.
You have to get you have it is really it
is like a it is like a magical spell, right
like where you're like ooh, literally unicorn fairy like fay.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Vision and then you're like, I have to be in
the darkness for a while.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Yeah, you guys got to get off these drugs. Whatever
you're taking. I'm just I'm telling you it's I mean,
spit it up, your free again. All the drugs are
just like creating ways to get the chemicals that are
already inside your brain. Anyways, that's very interesting, and I'm
glad that you've found a way to manage your migrants,
because I know they can be a complete nightmare. What
(20:16):
is something you think is overrated?
Speaker 4 (20:17):
A fancy lip bomb? Just slather vaseline on there. Man,
It's so cheap, yeah, and it works so good. I
have experimented with a lot of lip bombs because it's uh,
I get dry lips in the winter, and I you know,
kind of bought into the hype of like doing lip
scrubs and lip masks and all these sorts of things.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Like, man, have you ever just tried to like put
a bunch of weird like I don't know. It's like
they have things where it's like a silicone thing where you.
Speaker 4 (20:51):
Slap that on your lips and it like has some
like grease on it that's supposed to be it's like
a it's a lip mask.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Right, like a sticker that you put on your lip.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
It's not a sticker.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
It's like it's like a it's like a silicone thing.
And then it's like, but it's wet. It comes into
the package where it's like moisten with it's like.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
An actual material that you like, it's a liquid.
Speaker 4 (21:14):
It's sort of soaked in a liquid and it kind
of like, you know, you flat, it's like a blown
It's kind of like the consistency of Blooney or it's like,
you know, like when Blooney's in the package and it's
a little wet, Why is Blooney wet?
Speaker 2 (21:29):
Or why the lip thing? Why?
Speaker 1 (21:31):
No? Why why is boloney way? It actually has to
cover that in the Icons episode. It's like it's got
a like bacterial like the liquid that they put on
cold cuts is crazy, like it's like the primordial lose. Yeah,
it's like a spray of bacteria that fights off like
bad bacteria. You're just like, it's like wet with bacteria.
(21:51):
It's kind of gross. It's the thing that they kind
of write out of. That's another so we're not grossed up.
Speaker 4 (21:57):
That's another thing that if like you're if you're eat
is sort of glistening like a unicorn shimmer, like a
rainbow shimmer on your meat.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
That's not usually a good things, like a gasoline rainbow.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Yeah, that's usually serious.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
I looked at that one.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
I was like, I had a piece of like roast
beef that looked like that, and I that like iridescent
thing and it's it's it's called diffraction.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
That doesn't seem good, Miles, It's I.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
Don't know, it's just no, it's like the way it's cut,
it just creates these grooves that reflect light differently. It
wasn't because I was like, this shit's fucked, isn't it.
It's fucked, It's fucked, And they're like, no, no, no,
it's oh really it's okay, yeah, okay, yeah.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
Well I think for roast beef it is. But I
think for like like cold cuts, where you it's like
a uniform texture, I'm not is that always the case
where if it's like shiny and glittery.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
I feel like roast beef, it's like it gets a
green sheen, turkey gets a blue shiny thing on it.
Just gross to me.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
Maybe the what I will say is don't take food
safety and ice for me, I get food poison at
least three times a week, So I know.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
About diffraction. Yeah, if your.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Fish is by illuminiscing, I know that means you should
probably not good.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
Right. If your fish is by aluminiscing, it might be diffraction.
You should have just gone into that. But okay. So
lip mask similar to like I've talked before about how
my wife will put on these Korean face masks and
(23:36):
without warrant, she doesn't warn me, and then I just
come into our bedroom and she's sitting there and they're
very scary, like they look like the face mask. They
look like the face mask from strangers, the strangers, you know,
just like blank oh, because you're just a mouth version
of that.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
You just got like a little it's the I've only
used it a couple of times because it's not looks
at anything, doesn't do anything.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
But it's like it's like a pair of.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Larger pair of lips or that's fun you know.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Like the wax lips like that. Nobody anymore. It's kind
of like that, so it's a little funny.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
I used to do that all the time with bologna
when I was a kid, turn my bologny into lips
like this kind of they do. They do a little
lip thing. Yeah yeah, oh man, Now you know what
you would look like if you were a cartoon character exactly. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
So yeah, don't work. Vacalin works really well. That's super
cheap and you just.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
Get it in like a little squeeze tube. You don't
have to carry the big honey pot of vasiline around
like money and used to.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
It is fun though to get jack.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
That has like a penny in there and I gotta loop.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Up my lips now, just dip a hand in there.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
Yeah. All right, we're gonna take a quick break and
then we're gonna come back and we're going to talk
about some news, whether you guys like it or not.
Oh g sorry, I actually came forward the news, so
that's fine with me. Oh okay, got I got, I
gotta go. All right, that's what we're gonna do after
the break and no, that's what we're doing. Okay, and
(25:19):
we're back. We're back. And tell you who's on their
grind set some of these mega influencers, oh man, because god,
they're doing international travel, getting the word out about Mega.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
It turns out the Maga Gospel. I'm surprised they don't
just describe it as that it's the Maga gospel. Actually
it's being spread to.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
Far away lands. It's not that their influence operations, that's right. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I'm sure it's coming. I'm sure they're gonna have some
explanation for all this. But yeah, X turn the lights
on in the bar, and it was not necessarily what
everybody was expecting. Uh, just loads of Maga accounts with
(26:02):
I think as many as millions of followers collectively millions
and millions of followers. Yeah, we're found to have originated
outside of the US. They're just like Bangladesh, you know,
all over the place, everywhere that's not the United States
basically what it seemed like.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
Yeah, I mean it's it goes along with everything we've
been talking about since twenty sixteen of like foreign influence
operations being pushed through social media because I think, like
anyone seen what the Maga movement has done to the
United States, And if you're interested in being like, yeah,
I like to kind of like fan the fucking flames,
I'd probably choose to be a Maga account and say
(26:42):
a bunch of nonsense because some are state funded, as
we've seen others, I don't know, ban just people who.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
Want to do it for a laugh or whatever.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
But yeah, the amount of huge accounts that suddenly were like,
it's funny because I think like Twitter really thought they
were doing something like and.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Now you'd be able to see the location or some transparency, yeah,
to own the libs.
Speaker 4 (27:03):
I mean, I still think that it's possible that Gunner
Stormcock with like twenty American Eagles and his profile name.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
Could just be in Bangladesh, you know, broad he's studying abroad, right, Yeah,
he's like, oh man, I had to get out of
the US, man. Yeah. I mean, like.
Speaker 4 (27:21):
These accounts are so similar too, and like the icons
that they use, the type of profile picture you have
sort of like the airbrushed cowboy or cowgirl or man
in car with wrap around shades.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
A lot of them are they.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
Well did they do the man in car with wrap
around shades? They're just like yeah, I mean this appears
to be who they are, so we just pretend we're you,
essentially just mirroring mirroring. It works every time. Just some examples.
Magination at Magnation X joined in twenty twenty four lost
a bunch of followers connected via Eastern Europe. Just a
(28:02):
big picture of Donald Trump addressing a crowd of you know,
red hat wearing MAGA supporters as the header. This one
really kind of bummed me out because I've been a
fan for a while at Ivanka News underscore Yeah gain
breaking news daily, no affiliation with Ivanka Trump. Turn on notifications,
(28:23):
biggest Ivonka News fan page on x one million followers.
Whoa andia Ah came from Nigeria. She's got a lot
of fans over there, actually fans left in America.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
Ivanka is actually a huge fan of Fela Kuti. Yes
in Nigerian culture. She's been to the shrine many times.
Speaker 4 (28:44):
Have they actually tracked sort of like where the followers
are from, like to see how many of these are
organic followers and how many of them are potentially just bought.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
I just got past the fun screen.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
I mean you could if you looked at like just
an actual user's account, because now like when you hover
over like a user, you can basically be like, oh,
they're based in this like place. So like if you
go to like any account, it'll it'll now say things
like user details and it's still from what I've seen,
still saying where they're based, so that feature has not
(29:16):
gone away, like.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
You can still see like Maga Nation X, it's still
like operated, it's for them.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
It's like nebulous. It says like non EU Eastern Europe.
We don't even know specifically.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
Yeah, yeah, they outside of the borders. Yeah, undisclosed located
like the beginning of an action movie where it's like.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
Yeah, yeah, yeah exactly, yeah, yeah, fifty miles from Russian border.
But yeah, so many of these accounts. There's Dark Maga
from Thailand, Magascope from Nigeria, Maga Beacon somewhere in South Asia.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
America first Blue Check and has a picture of a
blondhaired woman like on stage at a Ted talk kind
of going like this, like the little pink dress. And
I assumed this was like some sort of influencer of
some sort. It seems like there's a lot of like
blonde haired, blue eyed women who are like I stand
(30:11):
with Mega always right. They had to make up, they
had to make those up. America First Banglades. Yeah, we
got a lot of Bangladesh, a lot of Nigeria, Nigeria
app store, Ultra Mega Trump twenty twenty eight, Nigeria. It's
an interesting revelation.
Speaker 3 (30:31):
Yeah, but I think it's also just one of those
things like so much of like the way some of
these accounts post like fucking talks like this also, but
then like a lot of this stuff is just kind
of meant to like rah rah the Mega movement, like
because it's always like I'm certainly not giving up despite
all the terrible revelations about our leader Ultra.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
Maga to this day in forever, how about you, you
know what I mean? And then answer from three other
accounts based in Nigeria with a million followers. Yeah, but
I agree, I concur the stuff seems overblown to me.
Speaker 3 (31:04):
Yeah, it's not to say that they're the Maga movement
is all like vaporware, but I think again the outsized
presence on social media.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
Absolutely they're like it's being inflated.
Speaker 4 (31:14):
Yeah, it's like that there's there's astroturfing that is supporting
the real support.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
Right. Yeah, So we'll see. It's something that we've like
kind of had a feeling was going on. We're covering
a lot in the early days of like the first
Trump administration, and then we're just like kind of like, yeah,
I guess, I guess that's how the world works now.
But it is fun to just like have it brought
into stark contrast of like, yeah, oh okay, that's exactly
(31:39):
what we thought it was. So it's exactly what we
thought it was. Yep, all right. We've spoken with climate
activists in particular on this show who are for some
reason pretty pessimistic about these COP events, the COP twenty nine,
COP twenty eight, and these are like the big the
super Bowl of climate activism. This is like where it
(32:03):
all goes down. You get all the power players in
one room and they just hash it out and be like,
we got to fix this climate change thing. In theory.
In practice, it has become a place that energy lobbyists
like meet up. Yeah and yeah, they like plan for
it all year, pump the brakes on this shit. Huh. Yeah.
(32:25):
It's both. It's both like a strategy session of like
how do we fight anything designed to slow down the
fossil fuel industry, But also it's just it sounds like
it's just like comic Con for that it's just like
a place where they like do networking with all of
the other people who are there. Because the entire fossil
fuel industry is there. It's like where they meet up. Now, Yeah,
(32:48):
they're like, hey, I'm i gonna see a cop thirty
this year. It's in Brazil, right, oh hell yeah yeah
yeah yeah. Every year.
Speaker 3 (32:53):
It's always like you always see like people from like
the Global South other nations are at risk of climate
chain induced displacement, begging the fucking world to be like,
we're fucking getting killed out here because a climate change.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
Can somebody help us? And then people go, oh, I
love that like indigenous dance that they did before.
Speaker 3 (33:13):
Anyway, I'm gonna eat some cavir and completely ignore their
fucking right to live a dignified life. And you end
up with like what they came up with agreement that's
fucking nothing, Like there's nothing about phasing out fossil.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
Does not acknowledge fossil fuels, doesn't even say like, Okay,
I know everyone wants to paint the fossil fuel industry
as the bad guys in this thing explicitly caused by
the fossil fuel industry. Mm hmm. But that's like antiquated thinking.
How do we move forward? It's just like all of
the neoliberal like global economies bullshit capacity, Like all of
(33:52):
the functions that are just there to diffuse and you know,
obfuscate and like just put a sheet like a happy
face on things, just all of it coming together to
just yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (34:04):
It's like, I mean, there's this there's like this philosophy
of climate change, which is that we just grow our
way out of climate change. So like instead of reducing
any growth, it's like, well, we just come up with
more and more technology to solve climate change, and not
just not just renewables, but like I guess technology to
(34:27):
like reverse things. There's I've seen a lot of like
tech articles about We're gonna build little robots that go
up to the Arctic and refreeze ice. And and it's
not necessarily that all of this technology is bullshit, like
some of it could potentially work, but there is there
is definitely these two competing views, and one is that, yes,
(34:51):
we do need to invest in renewables for sure, but
we should also be trying to decrease growth because we
can't keep increasing growth, we have to have it at
more sustainable levels. And then the other is, no, we
just grow our way out of it. We can keep
indefinite growth as long as we just create more technology
(35:12):
that solves the problems that we're creating with the growth.
Speaker 1 (35:16):
Okay, so what are those solutions? Haven't invented them yet?
Rather like, think about it once AI takes over and
like they're going to invent so many solutions to climate
change while burning down the entire or you could just
knock it off right now. How about that, there's your
solution right there. Okay, so knock it off, and then
(35:37):
we don't ask AI, the super genius galaxy brained intelligence,
what it thinks we should be. AI can get fucked soon.
That seems like you're thinking, is limited.
Speaker 4 (35:46):
I just read an article about like the Open AI
kind of panicking because they kept getting like these fawning
messages from people who were legit getting these massive like
AI induced psychosis delusions. Like AI convinced one guy that
he had solved some kind of like math.
Speaker 1 (36:07):
Yeah, he invented new math terryology. He predates the AI
j Yeah, no, Terrence Howard got it. But then this
guy got there his own way, and the AI was like, sir,
you're a ship dog. You're right.
Speaker 2 (36:24):
Yeah, you guys talked about the soggy cereal cafe thing.
Speaker 4 (36:30):
Okay, so one person had just tested out how much
the AI would be up your up your own butt. Yeah,
and like, what do you think about this business idea?
It's a soggy cereal cafe where you serve soggy cereal,
and A I was like.
Speaker 2 (36:44):
That's a really interesting idea that I think has great potential.
Speaker 1 (36:48):
And just like follow you.
Speaker 4 (36:50):
Yeah, just like it's innovative and it's so niche that
I think you could get a very dedicated client based
for this. And it's it's so like when it's like, yeah,
we can use technology to like get our way out
of this.
Speaker 2 (37:03):
Like right now, you could be like, could we just
like put.
Speaker 4 (37:07):
Refrigerators in the Arctic and turn them all on and
then that makes it cold again? And A I would
be like, masterful gambit, sir, that's incredible.
Speaker 1 (37:16):
Let's go try it.
Speaker 3 (37:17):
Yes, Let's let's mix some bleach in ammonia in a
small closet and seal the door, shall we and see
how that experiment goes? Yeah, I mean everything that you
like I've read about it, it's just such a bummer
from you know, Saudi Arabia basically like telling uh Ursula
Vondelaan's like like what her like she was basically regurgitating
(37:39):
what the Saudi delegation was saying about fossil fuels. Are like,
we're not like fighting fossil fuels per se, They're not
the enemy. It's the emissions in the fossil fuels. Okay,
we actually have to fucking do back with And you're like,
come the fuck on.
Speaker 1 (37:57):
What if I created a company that would plant for
anybody who sponsored the Los Angeles Clippers, and that would
take the fossil fuels out of the atmosphere, right, I mean,
and we would just be a shell company.
Speaker 4 (38:12):
Well, if you put like a balloon, you know, like
where the fossil fuels come out of the car's butt,
and you put like a balloon on that. Yeah yeah, yeah,
you trap the emissions and then you send those out
into space.
Speaker 3 (38:27):
Can you that that idea is so bad? They just
pop right before they get to space, So just the
emission like fuck, they're.
Speaker 2 (38:33):
All fucking I mean, I's gonna be like, that's a
masterful idea. You're a genius.
Speaker 1 (38:38):
Double bag it, sir, double so simple, it's brilliant, sir. Yeah.
This is also just a.
Speaker 3 (38:43):
Week two when like the President of Iran said, like
Tehran has no fucking water anymore, Like we're gonna have
to relocate the capital noted, and everyone out here is like,
you know, it's like is it really the emissions? And
again the US just like with Trump, like yeah, whatever,
the Saudi's want to do whatever. I don't know, I'm
(39:03):
looking at memes, guys, I don't even want to be.
Speaker 1 (39:05):
Here, So they didn't show up. Apparently the US is
usually on the side of like forcing other top polluters
to like kind of take this seriously. Obviously that wasn't
going to happen under the Trump administration, but at least yeah,
you know, China is the world leader in green technology,
but they're also the world's number one polluter, and some
(39:28):
people were hoping they would step in where the US
had been like filled the US shaped hole in the proceedings,
and they kind of demanded that the resolutions not hinder
global trade was sort of their role. So China's not
going to save it, doesn't seem like cop this sort
(39:48):
of thing is going to save it. Like anything that
has been around for thirty years at the height of
this neoliberal like global economy thing is just going to
be too overridden with like all of the things that
like it's just too easy for all the different you know,
fossil fuel companies and lobbyists and all those different people
(40:11):
to just get woven into the DNA the way that
like these things are set up. They just think everything
should be like run like a corporation. And you know,
I guarantee COP is having meetings about like how do
we grow this, how do we grow the COP brand?
(40:31):
You know, like even then, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (40:34):
I think one more Ted talk on like nudge theory
applied to climate change might do it.
Speaker 1 (40:40):
Mm hmmm. I think that's going to do it. I
think that's gonna fix it for us. It's just that, yeah,
it's it's just like funny to think.
Speaker 3 (40:46):
Like at in the Dubai one at COP twenty eight,
it was like kind of monumental because they were like, hey,
we need to transition away from fossil fuels, was how
they ended that one, and like we.
Speaker 1 (40:59):
Need to figure out a roadmap.
Speaker 3 (41:01):
Cut to two conferences later and they're like, well climate change,
huh what don't look up my money gotta go.
Speaker 1 (41:07):
Sorry.
Speaker 4 (41:08):
It's just like it's this still it's this mass delusion
of like we don't really fundamentally need to change our
lifestyle at all. We can have this just the same
exact system, the same uh, just sort of rampant consumption
and never ending growth, and we'll just fix it because
we'll make robots that like help polar bears swim or something.
Speaker 3 (41:33):
Well, and I think it also helps continue like the
mass delusion of people like who live in these like
imperial colonizer countries, realizing that like, while you think shit's
pretty where you're at, the rest of the world is suffering.
Speaker 1 (41:48):
But it's abstract.
Speaker 3 (41:49):
So it's like, ah, like most things where I want
to ignore the interconnectedness of everything, I'm going to choose
to say that's like a thing only happening to those people.
Speaker 1 (41:57):
The chaos that ensues from climate chang will not reach
my doorstep, and when in fact it already is, but
it's just leads to more burying your head in the buka.
That's just like your opinion all up in that book.
I got my head in a buka like you wouldn't believe.
Let's take a quick break and we'll be right back
to talk about some less serious news right back. Hold on,
(42:20):
I mean, well, it depends on how you feel about
the Rough Hour franchise. I guess a black and Asian
person jack, hold the hold the funk on. Okay, all right,
we'll be right back, and we're back. And like we said,
(42:43):
you go back. You look at Nazi Germany and like
Hitler is like, here's what we here's what we should
be making, all right, these are the type of movies
we make. And you're like, that's that's so weird to
just like trust the government with like the movie industry.
So we're in during a world where these Trump approoved
(43:03):
billionaires are now going to own like a illegal amount
or could soon own an illegal amount of the film industry.
And what will Donald Trump do with that power? It's
starting to take shape, and it's actually exactly what I
would have expected if I had just like taken the
(43:24):
time to think about it.
Speaker 3 (43:25):
Because you just but you think about all the fascists who, yeah,
the classic twentieth century fascist, they loved.
Speaker 1 (43:31):
A bit of cinema, didn't they.
Speaker 3 (43:33):
Hitler Mussolini started a whole fucking studio in Rome to
be like, honey, we're gonna make the best propaganda films
you've ever seen, while also helping our film industry. So
to know, you know what their visions were. They were
talking about like the Roman Empire and things like that.
But so I'm guessing Trump is doing like revolutionary kind
of material bring Back the Patriot with Mel Gibson.
Speaker 1 (43:56):
So kind of. So he's he's using his relationship to
Larry and David Ellison to bend them to his whims.
And in that way, he wants to bring the Rush
Hour franchise bath, which he's not like a big movie
he got. Like the thing that we know about his
(44:16):
movie taste is the anecdote where he had them use
like he used his power to get people to edit
the movie Blood Sport down so that it was only
the fight scenes. Yeah, yeah, yeah, he ain't got time.
Speaker 2 (44:32):
He loves Broadway musicals though, that's true.
Speaker 4 (44:35):
Yeah, but he loves cats, like Memories is one of
his favorite songs.
Speaker 2 (44:42):
I'm not I'm not like, yeah, he's super.
Speaker 1 (44:46):
In I'm soon going to be ironic when he doesn't
have anymore. But yeah, he was blasting a phantom from
the Oval office the other day. I'm pretty sure like that.
There's constantly anecdotes about him just vibing out to some
show tunes, some some Broadway but yeah, somebody was reporting this.
(45:07):
They cited someone directly familiar with the conversation saying that
Trump personally pressed Ellison to revive the Jackie Chan Chris
Tucker buddy cop franchise Rush Hour, which The New Yorker
previously reported that the nineteen eighty eight John Claude Van
dam action flick Blood Sport was one of the President's
favorite films of all time. Which could it could just
(45:28):
be him not admitting what he's really into, you know, right, right,
right right, These are like the ones that have been
approved as like macho and so he yeah, ah, man,
does he know those two leads in Rush Hour are
non white people? He's okay with that woke nonsense. I
guess it's.
Speaker 3 (45:47):
Cops so hilarious the way they are, they handled delicately,
raised to speak foreign languages.
Speaker 1 (45:54):
If you know what I'm saying. I learned never touch
a black man's radio from that film. You never do it.
You never do it. You just can't. I mean great,
that's as much as your brain can be the most
benign thing that we've heard to come out of the.
Speaker 3 (46:09):
Someone with their consolidating media like at a fucking pace
we've never seen and he's like, I'm sure one of
us is like, well, look, this is what I think
we can do about the coverage about what's happening in Palestine, YadA,
hold on, hold on.
Speaker 1 (46:21):
You know what you guys should be doing right rebooting
Rush Hour. I want to see it again.
Speaker 3 (46:26):
Like that's that's where his head is at, because he's
actually already said a thing where he was not really
all in on all these media companies buying up television
stations like he kind of because in the whole time,
we're like, oh, great, now all of his flunkies are
going to be owning like all these like local stations
and can just bend the news to his will.
Speaker 1 (46:46):
But he just recently was.
Speaker 3 (46:47):
Like, actually I would, he said a quote, would not
be happy if the FCC lifted the national ownership cap
because I think someone told him. He's like this kid
hook Is would go the other way and everyone like
all the people can like make the new be against you.
So now I think a little bit of.
Speaker 1 (47:03):
Pards with McDonald's, you know, is that you're fucking with
the one thing that we know he loves, which is
TV right right.
Speaker 4 (47:10):
Also, yeah, yeah, I feel like like the there there
is an approach, A certain approach one could take, which
is uh to like feed Trump a steady supply of
this kind of stuff, like, Hey, Trump, do you want
to perform like on Broadway?
Speaker 2 (47:28):
Do you want to be in Cats? Do you want
to like be in a new rush Hour?
Speaker 4 (47:33):
Like? And then like so that he's like because he
that is like what he wants, right, He's not a
good actor or performer.
Speaker 2 (47:43):
He's well, he's very funny. His timing is very funny.
Speaker 1 (47:46):
I think Jack was referencing home alone too.
Speaker 2 (47:50):
That's right, let's not.
Speaker 1 (47:54):
It's pretty good.
Speaker 4 (47:55):
Let's but if you if you like, if you get
if you gave him this stuff, like do you want
to be mister Mestopheles like he might it might kind
of give him stuff.
Speaker 2 (48:07):
To do so he doesn't like go to war with Uh?
Speaker 1 (48:09):
Could you think?
Speaker 3 (48:11):
I mean you know, right, because all you hear about
is that working there is just like babysitter time with
the most powerful man who can kind of do anything
he wants if he says so, like have they tried
to be like sure you were in rush Hour? And
then they just pull up like an AI video.
Speaker 1 (48:24):
Or like look at the remember the scene we had
the cameras like that's right, that's right. Mm I like that.
I like, you're right, Okay, I'm gonna take a nap now, great,
mister president Great. I do wonder if because now I
feel like it's coming to the point where like everyone
else wants to see his time occupied doing anything but
be the president. But then like the people inside the
administration have to be coming to that conclusion as well.
(48:47):
I wonder if it is time to like offer him
an exciting project, you know, like you get Rush Hour
the musical. Well, like yeah, on the other side, people
should doing that to distract.
Speaker 2 (49:01):
Him, just right, Like that's exactly what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (49:05):
With the with the you know, with the like mom
Donnie visit, I think that really shows like the last person,
the last charismatic person to talk to him, he's.
Speaker 2 (49:13):
Like, oh, I like you, uh like, because he's just
he has like the.
Speaker 4 (49:19):
Attention span of like a messed up hamster, so he
can't like he can't remember he's supposed to hate you.
Speaker 2 (49:27):
So if you're just like heye, you.
Speaker 4 (49:28):
Know what, we're gonna do a new Phantom of the Opera,
we think he'd be greatly as you know, great as.
Speaker 1 (49:37):
The guy I don't.
Speaker 2 (49:39):
I'm actually not.
Speaker 4 (49:43):
Yeah, can you sing about bread? We can get you
and we can get you and lay mis rabs. So yeah,
like we have to like if you compete.
Speaker 2 (49:56):
Yeah, Taco bulls, he loves that.
Speaker 4 (49:59):
But yeah, just like I mean, this is I think
actually happening like what you guys are saying, Like, I
think it's actually happening in the Trump administration where they.
Speaker 2 (50:07):
Have to like compete for his attention.
Speaker 1 (50:10):
Oh yeah, for sure.
Speaker 4 (50:11):
I think they are showing him AI videos and he
might be getting confused about what is real or not
or not because he did, like do a he posted
that medical thing right, the med beds Oh you know what?
Speaker 3 (50:23):
Just fun fact that account that posted the original med
beds video also a foreign account. No, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yep, yep, yep, Yegladesh.
Speaker 1 (50:35):
I think it. All I know is it wasn't the US.
It wasn't the.
Speaker 4 (50:41):
US secret compound. Yeah, Volcano Island.
Speaker 1 (50:45):
Yeah. I think he's very easily confused and very easily manipulated,
and the people who are working around him need to
start thinking outside of the box, getting on their grindset
and creating some musical theater projects to occupy his time.
Speaker 3 (50:59):
Or just like I feel like Chuck Schumer should just
start lying to Donald Trump and being like, yeah, I
actually love you, mister president. We want to name this
building after you. And he's like, wow, did you hear that?
They've had a complete change of heart, and they're like
they're fucking with you, mister president.
Speaker 1 (51:12):
Why would you do that? Why would he do that?
Speaker 3 (51:14):
Just completely fuck up a weird suspicion in the White
is like you were always a hater, Steven Diller.
Speaker 1 (51:21):
I knew that about you. You always against me.
Speaker 2 (51:23):
Stephen Miller really likes the movie Casino.
Speaker 1 (51:26):
Did you know that? Does he? That makes sense? There's
a lot of school in that movie. He's probably watching it,
like he probably also likes American Psycho, you know, like
he likes movies for the wrong reasons.
Speaker 4 (51:38):
He really loved Robert de Niro and like he like
he watched this in high school and then he started
dressing like Robert de Niro, where in these movies where
he like started wearing rings and thin ties and the
whole you know, like the hand steepling thing. That's like
I think that's based on like Robert de Niro. Yeah, exactly,
Like I think his role in Casino. That was that's
(52:01):
what he's he's and he kept doing that.
Speaker 1 (52:04):
Cooked by Joe Pesci.
Speaker 3 (52:05):
Yeah, I mean since why he was so upset when
Steven Irwin Robert DeNiro called him a Nazi.
Speaker 1 (52:11):
Yeah, that's right. He lost it. He was like, he's
a sad, broken old man and you're like, oh, why
are you crying? Fool? Yeah, hurt all right. Elsewhere in
the entertainment industry, we mentioned last week that Fox News
announced a exciting new podcast, star studed cast playing the
(52:33):
roles of Jesus and his pals, Jesus and Pals. It
was I guess not, it was just the Life of
Jesus podcast. His last name was podcast.
Speaker 2 (52:47):
Jesus h Podcast.
Speaker 1 (52:50):
So we speculated the time that the actors did this,
not knowing that it would end up on Fox because
it was created by an external production company, and then
Fox spotted. But I mean, you're making a podcast about
the life of Jesus, Like, where do you think it's
going to end up? It would be my question. Well, now,
Christen Bell, one of the cast members reps have said
(53:14):
she recorded her part of that biblical at the time
audio book back in twenty ten and had no idea
about this podcast until quote her team received a request
for her to appear on Fox and Friends a day
before the podcast was an oh my god, Yeah, I
love not the request you ever want to receive, Kristen baby.
Speaker 3 (53:38):
Yay, got to ask you to be heard. You doing
a Jesus Christ podcast for Fox News?
Speaker 1 (53:44):
What the team? Welcome to the family, Christen.
Speaker 4 (53:49):
Yeah, this is like the case with a lot of
Christian movies where it's meant to be Christian Propagain, I
think this was the case with there was some anti
abortion movie.
Speaker 1 (54:02):
With Greg kaneer. Does Greg Knear appear in it? Because
he really seems to appear in all those for some reason.
Speaker 2 (54:07):
I don't know it was it was like an anti
abortion movie I think.
Speaker 4 (54:11):
Also and maybe God is Dead, But like that where
they like had to trick a lot of the crew
and cast to like come on it, and then when
they like found out what it was about, they would leave.
Speaker 2 (54:26):
They didn't want to do a movie like that.
Speaker 1 (54:30):
Yeah, but if you've seen Bofinger, this is essentially both
like they're using the actors without their knowledge to make
a movie or make a podcast in this case that
they could could not have otherwise gotten them to have
in sented to.
Speaker 3 (54:45):
Yeah, because I remember with like Brian Cox, You're like
Brian Cox hates these fucking people.
Speaker 1 (54:51):
Yeah. And then a rest of Cox told The Hollywood
Reporter Brian recorded audio for a project over a decade ago.
He was unaware that the audio would be re purpose
for a new podcast series in twenty twenty five. Brian
only became aware of the podcast yesterday. Always always read
the fine print.
Speaker 3 (55:08):
Wait till they'rechopping this podcast up where the words, she'd be, like,
you guys are doing like a pro Mussolini.
Speaker 1 (55:14):
Podcast, What bring him back? I love Oh, I love
mussa man, We're gonna come to regret that episode where
we just talked about how much we love musliks.
Speaker 4 (55:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (55:27):
Yeah, and for me TODLINI yeah, music you love Musali,
I love Tordellini Mussolini.
Speaker 1 (55:34):
Yep. Is the movie you're thinking of, Unplanned Katie?
Speaker 4 (55:38):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (55:38):
I think it was also a funny thing.
Speaker 4 (55:42):
It was like about this like woman in it who
had an abortion and then said she regretted it and
worked with like, uh these with the anti abortion movement.
And then she later like when she was really old
and kind of she was having some medical issues and
she didn't think that where she was pretty sure she.
Speaker 1 (56:01):
Was going to die.
Speaker 2 (56:01):
She was like, yeah, I actually just did that me
a bunch of money, right.
Speaker 1 (56:07):
Yeah, I mean row right, Well didn't like the original. Yeah,
they paid her off to like become a anti choice activist.
Speaker 4 (56:16):
Yeah, because she was not she was not in a
great economic position, so they yeah, they bribed her.
Speaker 2 (56:21):
To do that.
Speaker 1 (56:22):
And she was like, okay, oh yeah, that's have you
seen that there's a new pubulatory podcast about Riley Gaines
the Kentucky Swimmer. I want to dig into that. And
I started watching it.
Speaker 3 (56:32):
It's it's really wild again because you there's these people
that that the right finds to basically create a victim
out of and then they're like, perfect, now we will
find you're.
Speaker 2 (56:43):
Transformation more like Riley no gains.
Speaker 1 (56:46):
There you go. And that is and that is kind
of the ultimate that the ending of the show. But
that's what he says, and that's why he's being sued.
Such a pleasure. Thank you? Where can people find you?
Follow you? Hear you all that good stuff.
Speaker 2 (57:03):
I'm like, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (57:05):
I've moved away from social media. I rarely post anymore.
My posting fingers sustained a horrific injury. I got an
a cl tear in my finger. There's there's a P
c L and an.
Speaker 1 (57:21):
A C L and a all the tarsals and the carpels. Yeah,
they're all my.
Speaker 4 (57:27):
Carpels and my tarsals got all jumbled around. But the
so but you know, my my bird pro bird rights
Twitter is still up there. I think at this point
maybe I'll just occasionally just post a quote from Trump
as his brain sort of melts, like, there's what was it?
He said it recently? There is no bad, it can
(57:48):
only good happen. So I don't really have to, you know,
like come up with original content anymore.
Speaker 2 (57:55):
I can just have this character.
Speaker 4 (57:58):
You Yeah, it's this character that supposed to be a
stupid conservative bird. And now I could just I can
just borrow those things. But yeah, I mean it's it's
that's all still up there. But yeah, I'm much much more.
You can find me doing the Secretly Incredibly podcast with
Alex Schmidt, my podcast right here on this network called
(58:20):
Creature Feature where I talk about animals and the things
that they do, and then Summer News where I and
a bunch of other really talented writers write scripts about stuff.
I did one on Stephen Miller recently. I read a
book about him and that was just eliminating.
Speaker 1 (58:41):
Good.
Speaker 2 (58:42):
Yeah, three hundred pages all on the on the boy.
Speaker 3 (58:47):
Wonder did they talk about Does he talk about his
love of mayonnaise in that book like his wife said
about him?
Speaker 4 (58:53):
No, but he did talk about how he used to
like have glue dry on his arm and then he'd
peel it off in elementary school.
Speaker 1 (59:00):
Mmmm, classic glue skin.
Speaker 2 (59:02):
Ye would eat it?
Speaker 1 (59:05):
Yeah, I didn't know. Yeah, I remember that. People just
do their whole fucking hands. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (59:10):
Man, it feels pretty good.
Speaker 1 (59:11):
This do yea.
Speaker 2 (59:13):
This is the best thing he's done.
Speaker 1 (59:14):
Yeah, And like I'm like, I can't really shot on that.
Speaker 3 (59:17):
You know, we all did eating parts a little weird,
but yeah, yeah, yeah, that's that's definitely weird too.
Speaker 1 (59:23):
That's fucking gross. Yeah. You shouldn't need it. That's great.
I don't need glue. You shouldn't. I certainly don't weird.
You said that, do you feel Katie thinks I eat glue?
And like, I don't so funny Katie. You even saying
that I would eat glue like it makes me die
because it's so not what I want to do. Right. Actually,
I'm gone. Actually, every time I've been asked whether I
(59:45):
eat glue, I start laughing. That's the only thing that
I know about that question is that it makes me
start laughing.
Speaker 2 (59:50):
That's what Jesus a little skeptical, but I'm convinced.
Speaker 1 (59:55):
Now, Okay, good. Is there a work of media that
you've been in, Wayne, besides that Stephen Miller biography.
Speaker 2 (01:00:02):
Yeah, there's a there's a tweet so.
Speaker 4 (01:00:07):
Mark Wayne Mullen a member, a Republican member of a
Congress Congress. I believe, yeah, he's uh. He speaking in
in support of Pete Hegseth in the Department of War.
He says, I will lead the breach, I will lay
(01:00:28):
down cover fire, I will take the high ground. I'll
expose myself to enemy fire to communicate. We must bring
back integrity, focus and put the war fighter first. Inside
the DoD, I stand with Secretary of Defense Pete hag
Seth America flag, and some guy named Fred Wellman replied,
(01:00:49):

Speaker 2 (01:00:51):
You've never served. You could have, but you didn't. We
had the longest war in US.

History, and you set that shit out the whole time.
But now you want to be a big tough guy
for the idiot that can't keep a secret. You're such
a fucking joke. No one's scared of you. Go clear
a drain of your own bullshit. Wow.

all be jealous. Just got like final, just been like,

old playing Call of Duty.
Speaker 1 (01:01:49):

Speaker 3 (01:01:50):
Yeah, well yeah, even those kids have more I think
tactical know how than Mark.
