Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello, Welcome to this Wednesday, August thirteenth edition of Trump
Hosts the Trinity Center Awards. Fuck, I'm miles. Hey, let's
a lot of weird things right now.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Things going on, Yes, going on.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
It's just Trump doing shit again. So right now, Donald
Trump just announced that he will host the Kennedy Center
Honors Award.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
What am I honoring him?
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Oh? Who? No? Such fantastic acts as Sylvester Stallone, Uh,
Gloria Gaynor who famously saying I will survive the rock
band Kiss, country singer George Strait, and Michael Crawford who
was in the Phantom of the Opera opera?
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Does this man get to do anything that he wants?
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Like?
Speaker 2 (00:56):
What? Like? He does everything? Just fucking go be a reality?
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Carle said he swore that he was like, they didn't look,
it wasn't my idea, and I said, I really didn't
want to do it, but they kept saying, you know,
they twisted my brain, And so I'm gonna host it.
This guy can't even fucking talk out loud in public
without some shit happening, so he's gonna. I don't. I mean,
(01:20):
what a mess of an award show? If that's your
fucking EMC. I just also don't think he can do it.
I think he doesn't understand that it's not about you,
but he will make it about him.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
I mean anything that he like, I mean, anything that
he touches turns to shit. So it really is about him,
you know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (01:39):
That is true? Yeah, in a weird way. So yeah,
he again he says quote he did not insist on
the MC role while he was making this announcement though.
Just to give you an insight on just how goopy
his brain is, let's just hear him. This is where
he was just talking about the Kennedy Center, but then
also talks about fucking grass or some shit outside the
(02:04):
Kennedy Center. He's like, we're gonna make this place. Is
it the grass?
Speaker 3 (02:07):
We're gonna make it so beautiful again. We're gonna be
redoing the parks, redoing the grass. You know, grass is
a lifetime, like people have a lifetime, and the lifetime
of this grass.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Is long, ping gone.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
When you look at the parks where the grass is
all tired, exhausted, We're going to redo the grass with
the finest grass.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
What the fucking asshole, We're gonna redo the grass? With
the finest grass.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
He's like Lifetime reminds me of the Lifetime channel. Love
a lot of those.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Movies, those two, love them a lot of a lot
of unfortunate ladies in those films. I wish them the best.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
It's so like he literally I feel like his brain
is he talks so much like he's in front of
camera so much that his brain has to be like, Okay,
I'm gonna check out for a little bit and then
I'll just come back in later talk about grass for
a while, and.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Then yeah, yeah, yeah, back in. I'm gonna just let
the I'm just letting my brain do his thing.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Man.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
You know, it's late in the day. It's just this
shit just does it on its own. I don't have
to do fucking anything. Uh So, yeah, uh that's that. Also,
there's been a quick analysis from Politico about the Doge cuts.
If you remember, they said, dude, we saved the taxpayers
fifty two point eight billion by canceling contracts. But we're
(03:31):
in Politico of the thirty two point seven billion in
actual claimed contract savings, doses savings over that period were
actually close to one point four billion, so they only
saved the country about one point four billion dollars all.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
But the cost that they're going to incur from like
cutting all these programs is gonna be like way fucking more.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Yeah. This, Yeah, it's just they just had to go
out there to be like we stopped that. They're like
that money's gonna be spent either way, you can say
you stopped it, okay, So just more fucking bullshit.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Also, like Big Balls was the guy who got attacked
in DC by teenagers or whatever and he worked for
doge right, Yeah, yeah, I feel like they're trying to
like rebrand because of that, almost like they're trying like
I don't know what the timeline was, but I'm just like,
you know what, I feel like, more people should beat
(04:26):
the shit out of doors work.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Oh yeah, and who knows, like what what exactly was going?
What were you doing at that time of night exactly?
Speaker 2 (04:34):
And also they're they're literal children teenagers. Yeah, their child's
beat you up.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
I have a feeling if you're Big Balls and you're
literally you have a career as an online troll asshole
that maybe you said some ship and got your ass beat.
But then again you can use that as like the
sort of the basis for Trump to militarize Washington, DC,
So it's lose Lou Yeah, for fucking everybody. Another thing
(05:02):
that's trending there, So Deadline posted this article about a
documentary coming out about Kanye West, and I'm like, what
the ff is this by Kanye West? Apparently for the
last six years he's had this kid. And I say
kid because six years ago this person was eighteen years
old being Trump or fucking what? The same for Kanye's
(05:24):
documentarian capturing the last six years of his life and
now it's going to be a feature length documentary.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Are you ready to disconnect from reality for that? Law?
Speaker 1 (05:36):
So fucking what? It says. The film quote examines the
evolving nature of idolatry, both in Ye's cultivation of public
idolatry and in his pursuit of various idols, from luxury
brands and celebrity to faith and family. It also speaks
to the director's deeper creative and spiritual reckoning. Was the
film made in Yea's name, his own or something greater?
It looks fucking upsetting, but it.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
It's very disturbing. It's like like watching a mental breakdown
as a reality TV type thing. Is like and also
for anybody who's like dealt with mental illness for that extent.
It's like I'm watching it and I'm like having like
PTSD from from like just people like crashing out and
not having like the resources. But this man is also
(06:22):
a Nazi.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Like yeah, I'm that, So I'm curious. I'm like, how
much of it will just be objective? Is this guy
how you know? How how much affection does he feel
for Kanye West that he's like, well, I'm not I
don't want to do him totally dirty. I don't want
to talk about all the other fucked up shit I
saw Or is this a full blown just like unfiltered
look at all of this that's happening. I'm not sure.
(06:44):
Uh but uh, Brian the editor says, I'm locking it
in now. This is going to win an oscar who knows?
Who fucking knows? But that fucking I mean that trailer
was didn't he horrifying?
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Didn't Also like recently his like store like the they
drop the prices or something, so like the most expensive
anything is in there is like one hundred dollars, it's
like twenty or something like I thought I thought I
saw something online.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
He's been selling more and more things about how he's
trying to make things accessible or whatever. I don't know.
It's just so hard to like look at him and
be like, whoa, what it? Yeah, you kind of just
like let it do help shit. But anyway, that's where
that's at Canada.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Silence it's activated again. She's like, did somebody ask for me?
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Yeah, hello, Hello, I'm here.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
That is coming out in September, and I'm still not
sure what Kanye West thinks of that, or gay or
yeezy or whatever the fuck Hitler whatever he goes by.
Speaking of troubled rappers, ice Cube, I know last week
you were.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Talking of all time probably.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Y'all we're talking about the War of the World's fucking
Amazon Prime commercial where a drone delivery potentially saves Earth.
Really cool, really cool, really cool. But the reason why
I think it was being talked about was that it
had a zero percent on Rotten Tomatoes. Rotten Tomatoes. We're
only talking about it now because it's actually climbed up
to three percent. Pretty still totally shitty.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
But so you're telling me there's a chance.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
There's only a ninety seven percent chance that it's ship
now also like he.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Or like the whole movie is, isn't it based on
like how people are trying to get your data? And
it's like Amazon is telling you this Amazon.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Are we going to talk about their cloud services too?
And the kind of data that's there and who's no, like.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Why do you want what like Amazon's and then they're
using like USBs and doing like delivery services that save
the day. Yeah, I'm just I'm like how it's just
sad that we're this dumb, you know what I mean
that they were like we could just do this and
this will be fine.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Yeah, there is. People are saying, like there's an Entertainment
Weekly article that's basically being like, dude, it's not that bad.
It's not even saying it's good. It's just like, y,
it's your run of the mill, shitty movie. You know,
who cares.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
It's that bad because it's like made by a corporation
and they didn't take the green screen out of his glasses,
Like it's that bad. It's also not bad in a
fun way. It's not like campy. It's just like it's
just fun to talk about because it's like so bad.
But it's not like it's not can't. It's I don't know,
it's not going to be like a cult classic.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
It's just a market shot. Probably you're going to give
it a shot. No, I won't. I don't have time.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
You know, there's like a million otheres to watch. Go
watch weapons or some shit. I'm gonna do.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
That's not gonna see weapons. I have to see weapons.
But her majesty was like, bro get I'm fuck out
of here. I'm not trying to see that ship. So
I'll yeah, I'm.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
Going tonight with my nephew. I'm gonna be like terrifying.
I'm like, you put your arms by your side, Tam.
Don't run no running. Don't do that, which is cape
arm shape when you running at meat.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Hell no, not run that. Yeah, the this one, it says.
Jordan Hoffman of Entertainment Weekly noted that The War of
the wards and was quote certainly stupid, but it's also
a great deal of fun, never boring. It's filled with
entertaining lines and as a cheese factor that is perfectly
self aware. I don't know about that. It looks like
dog shit and watching they're like these.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Clipsa sad for ice cube.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
I'm not man, fuck that guy fucking oh wait, I
mean whatever, It's like, just oh well, shut up. He
was doing this thing. Was like, man, the stuff that's
going on with Trump, that's not right. It's like, you asshole,
you were working with him in twenty twenty. You're like,
I'm gonna work on his council for how to help
black hole.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
I didn't I miss this whole thing. That's crazy.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
He's look this, this is what they all do, These
old fucking rappers. They're basically they're just Republicans in the eighties.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Are there any like based old rappers.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
I'm sure black thought, Oh hell yeah, you know. I hope,
I hope. All all I know is every like older
hip hop idol I had has just revealed themselves to
be like either so dumb or so conservative that it's
like just not even funny, or like questioning vaccines and
doing that.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
That's what I feel about. Like old comedians, except like
Bill Burr and Marin are doing okay right now.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
They're doing okay, they're doing okay, Okay.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
I'm keeping an eye out, but you're doing okay right now.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Yeah. Yeah, at least, yeah, their their anger is directed
in the right direction. But anyway, that's where the ice
cube fresh freshometer is at the tomatometer, as it were.
Let's take a quick break and when we come back,
we will talk about Jeff Bezos continues because obviously this
was a Bezos Amazon joint.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Yeah, this is he's now medical the camera. We're reading
scripts from him.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Yeah, Jeff Bezos is now meddling in some filmmaking because
of the new James Bond film, because that is an
Amazon MGM thing. We will talk about that right after
this and we're back. So there's an article out that
(12:22):
apparently Jeff Bezos is quote obsessed with casting his wife
Lauren Sanchez in the new James Bond film that's coming out.
This is what it said. Quote He's obsessed, said a
Hollywood insider. This isn't just a fantasy casting. Jeff wants
her on screen period. She's not an actress, as studio
exec said, but she's Jeff's muse And when you spend
(12:44):
eight billion dollars, you get what you want. So cool. Yeah, sure, Like.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Remember when muses made like good art, like you know
what I mean, Like it used to be like this
famous artist muse like and you see all their ship
museums you're like, damn, that's beautiful. Or even Picasso didn't
he paint like like birds or squirrels or something. He
had like he painted like a bunch of series of
like these animals out of his window.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
He had many muses, Yeah, he had many.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
He's a fucking weird in other ways. But like but
like he's still considered like an artist. And like now
it's like she's my muse, says Jeff Bezos as he boxes.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Had Like what is she bringing out from you to
continually fuck the earth?
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Like weird fucking Hawaiian two tight Hawaiian shirt, long sleeve
button ups, like what is.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Hey, well, they can't see they if I don't wear
a tight shirt, they can't see that my human growth
hormone injections are popping.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Okay, I'm on that Joe Rogan plan, Joe Rogan thing.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Yeah, I got, I got HGH belly and my skull
is expanding at a rate that most doctors are confounded by.
But I look better than I did. But she's my muse.
But she's muse up.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Wait, they need to he needs to link up with
m Night Shamalan because like that man made a whole
movie about his daughter's.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Singing career he did, which was that.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
The fucking what was it trapped or whatever? The one
with Josh Hartnett.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
It was like watching gal Gado like a brown gal
Gado just be like.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Hello, are you robotic actor? Yeah? What's going on?
Speaker 2 (14:27):
It was really fun. I want better for Josh Hartnett though.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Oh man, he's all right. Did he retire from the game.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
He did, but he came back for that.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Good for him. You know, pick your pick your spots, Josh.
That's what I always said, man, It's what I always said. Also,
just to touch on other news, obviously, the FBI has said,
contrary to what you hear from the right wing, violent
crime is down. Okay, violent crime is going down. Now
listen to the bullshit that you hear coming out of
the leadership in this country.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Deploy people so that it goes back from beating the
shit out of people, Recognize people, and to say stop
resisting because I'm illegally harassing you.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
But one thing that is happening now is la booboo
based crime. Labooboo based crime still going up. Okay. I
did not realize that parents are buying anti theft devices
for their la boo boos.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Yeah, backed out one of those from my prius. You
just look on the bottom so it doesn't seel the
catalytic converter out the labooboo.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
It's a catalytic converter plate. Basically, I just I fuse
a metal sheet to my child's back and that's why
they store their laboo boos.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Also, like, do those haunted dolls need any security because
like they're scary and like I feel like they're the
Ferbies of this generation where.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
It's like they're scary to us. They're scary to us.
But the fucking amount of la boo boo hype is
still it is not going away. Like I see fucking
professional soccer players like accessorizing with fucking lab boo boos.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
It doesn't make sense to me. Man. Yeah, Also, wasn't
there a black face la boo boo? That's some la
boo boo clean on TikTok like posted and then got
kistled for.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Yeah, it was funny because I remember the week before
I left, Carmen Laurent was talking about this creator and
was like, Oh, she's really funny or whatever, and it
was like kind of satirical and then I'm like, ah,
you just gotta wait long enough. And then these people
do something dumb because she was saying it was Ksi
the YouTuber. She's like, I've got the first Ksi la
boo boo and it's just like a golliwog, a fucking
(16:27):
minstrel doll just looked like a racist, fucking doll. And
you're like, fuck, yeah, anyway, I.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Don't understand, like consumerism is killing me.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
Give you, neighbor, I'm give people enough time and they'll
just be like and also, sorry, I'm a white spremen. Sorry. Yeah,
took me a second to get that out. But yeah,
there there's been a few, like obviously reports of kids
getting their shits stole, their La Boo boo stolen. And
then h the month before last, what.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
If you saw like la Boo Boo's tied up on
a wire, like like you know how they throw.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Like shoes up, oh like but you know there's something
active on that block. They're like, yeah, yeah, local, they're servant.
They're servant. That used to mean something la Boo Boo's
on a telephone wire, But apparently in Orange County there
was like a fucking like full on robbery at a
makeup store where a bunch of people came in jacked
(17:22):
a bunch of Loo Boo Boo dolls, and there is
a quote man hunt for the thieves who took from
this place. They said we lost about seven thousand dollars
in La Boo boos.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
That's crazy, Yeah, mus do La Buo boos costs, aren't
they like people are doing like knockoffs and shit because
they're expensive or something.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
I mean, for like rare ones. I'm sure how much is.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
A beanie babies? This is furbies, This is all of
Tickle me Out.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
It can be they can be twenty bucks. They can
be I'm seeing them from twenty yeah around twenty. Some
can be fucking more, you know, fifty four, forty three,
thirty nine.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Okay, yeah, that's crazy. I feel like I'm old now,
Oh you are. I'm very old, first of all.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
Second of all, first of all, fuck you, Actually no,
I take it back. I love Laboo Boos and I
know what and I totally get the hype and.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
I totally get it. I'm like all down for it.
I also can't I can't talk on the phone and
other gen Z stereotypes.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
I'm all of it. I'm all all of that. What's
funny is the store owners initially was like, we lost
seven thousand dollars in La Boo Boos. Then they said
it's more than twenty five thousand, and I'm like, well,
hold on, what the hold on? What are you talking about?
You just said it now you're going on in there.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
I am that like the the price of the value
of La Boo Boos went up in the time that
they got stolen. Uh, it's like Baboo Boo stock market.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Yeah, I mean it goes up. I mean, you know this,
this is primo vintage, this is dead stock. But I
guess you know that's It's a it's a sad state
of things because I've got all these beanie babies and
nobody's fucking with them. Come and get him. So I
got I got the Princess Diana commemorative one.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
We're gonna see, like have you guys seen that?
Speaker 1 (19:07):
That?
Speaker 2 (19:07):
What is is some like TV court thing where they
were splitting up their beanie baby collection divorce or whatever.
It's gonna be like that.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Famous shot where it's like a couple in front of
the judges bench, just like okay, and I get this one,
and I get this one God, and now they are.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Worth Meanwhile, they're real pets, are like, hey, can you
feed us?
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Like bro I think was like killing God. That's not
that's a German shepherd. This just hasn't fed him in
a while. Oh shit. Then finally, you were talking about
Freaky Friday and ad placement. I'm bringing this up because
there were Freaky Friday. Fucking we've been talking about commemorative
popcorn buckets, Like the one for the Naked Gun was
(19:50):
just the beaver bucket, as like, that's more of a
reference to the original one. But the freak have you
seen the Freaky Friday ones? No, it's like so coy
to be col So it's switched up. So one's a
soda cup and one's a bucket of popcorn. And guess what,
the soda cup actually has popcorn in it. And you
know that little bucky of popcorn you got, that's actually
(20:13):
your fucking soda. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
So I enjoyed this three and twenty ounce soda.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
What's what's wild is it's just a regular cup. Hidden
inside it's like a medium drink. It's like, I mean,
let's like, let's lean into it. If you're only gonna
get a soda.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
You're not doing the full popcorn bucket. No, you can't
getting less popcorn and just a regular soda.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Yes, yes, no, bitch, no, but hold on, I'll tell
you this for fifty fifty five dollars. No fifty five,
however much that shit costs. I mean, because the Galactis
one for fucking Fantastic four was eighty dollars. This is
where I'm like, I remember back when it all kicked off,
when it was the Dune popcorn bucket, and everybodys talking
about fucking the Dune popcorn bucket.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Yeah, give me some a fuckable if you're gonna make it.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Fifty can't fuck a bucket of popcorn that's actually a
medium sized fountain beverage?
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Yeah? Which hole do I put it in?
Speaker 1 (21:08):
I mean, I think it's pretty clear. But I think
that's I think that's pretty clear. I don't know, I
gotta see let them know. Then there's also there's an
Eminem documentary out now, and then they're selling a popcorn
bucket that's shaped like a giant pill bottle.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Wait waits kind of Eminem.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Marshall Mathers from Detroit. Yeah, never of him, but about
the green eminem. It's about the green eminem and the
road to getting the blue eminem. But yeah, this one
is just like a prescription pill bottle, and.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
People are like fucking crazy.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Sure, I guess they're more of a reference if you
remember that. Like first, uh, what is it the Slim
Shady album? No, of course not. I think that's why
a lot of people are like, Yo, what the fuck
is this man? But anyway, that's that's eminem for you.
Well that's gonna do it for us this afternoon. We're
(22:07):
gonna be back tomorrow with the whole new episode where
we talk about it all. Until then, take care yourselves,
take care of each other, get your vaccines, you know,
don't do nothing by white supremacy. It's rough out there.

was in the Phantom of the Opera opera?
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Does this man get to do anything that he wants?
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Like?
Speaker 2 (00:56):
What? Like? He does everything? Just fucking go be a reality?
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Carle said he swore that he was like, they didn't look,
it wasn't my idea, and I said, I really didn't
want to do it, but they kept saying, you know,
they twisted my brain, And so I'm gonna host it.
This guy can't even fucking talk out loud in public
without some shit happening, so he's gonna. I don't. I mean,
(01:20):
what a mess of an award show? If that's your
fucking EMC. I just also don't think he can do it.
I think he doesn't understand that it's not about you,
but he will make it about him.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
I mean anything that he like, I mean, anything that
he touches turns to shit. So it really is about him,
you know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (01:39):
That is true? Yeah, in a weird way. So yeah,
he again he says quote he did not insist on
the MC role while he was making this announcement though.
Just to give you an insight on just how goopy
his brain is, let's just hear him. This is where
he was just talking about the Kennedy Center, but then
also talks about fucking grass or some shit outside the
(02:04):
Kennedy Center. He's like, we're gonna make this place. Is
it the grass?
Speaker 3 (02:07):
We're gonna make it so beautiful again. We're gonna be
redoing the parks, redoing the grass. You know, grass is
a lifetime, like people have a lifetime, and the lifetime
of this grass.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Is long, ping gone.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
When you look at the parks where the grass is
all tired, exhausted, We're going to redo the grass with
the finest grass.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
What the fucking asshole, We're gonna redo the grass? With
the finest grass.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
He's like Lifetime reminds me of the Lifetime channel. Love
a lot of those.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Movies, those two, love them a lot of a lot
of unfortunate ladies in those films. I wish them the best.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
It's so like he literally I feel like his brain
is he talks so much like he's in front of
camera so much that his brain has to be like, Okay,
I'm gonna check out for a little bit and then
I'll just come back in later talk about grass for
a while, and.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Then yeah, yeah, yeah, back in. I'm gonna just let
the I'm just letting my brain do his thing.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Man.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
You know, it's late in the day. It's just this
shit just does it on its own. I don't have
to do fucking anything. Uh So, yeah, uh that's that. Also,
there's been a quick analysis from Politico about the Doge cuts.
If you remember, they said, dude, we saved the taxpayers
fifty two point eight billion by canceling contracts. But we're
(03:31):
in Politico of the thirty two point seven billion in
actual claimed contract savings, doses savings over that period were
actually close to one point four billion, so they only
saved the country about one point four billion dollars all.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
But the cost that they're going to incur from like
cutting all these programs is gonna be like way fucking more.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Yeah. This, Yeah, it's just they just had to go
out there to be like we stopped that. They're like
that money's gonna be spent either way, you can say
you stopped it, okay, So just more fucking bullshit.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Also, like Big Balls was the guy who got attacked
in DC by teenagers or whatever and he worked for
doge right, Yeah, yeah, I feel like they're trying to
like rebrand because of that, almost like they're trying like
I don't know what the timeline was, but I'm just like,
you know what, I feel like, more people should beat
(04:26):
the shit out of doors work.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Oh yeah, and who knows, like what what exactly was going?
What were you doing at that time of night exactly?
Speaker 2 (04:34):
And also they're they're literal children teenagers. Yeah, their child's
beat you up.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
I have a feeling if you're Big Balls and you're
literally you have a career as an online troll asshole
that maybe you said some ship and got your ass beat.
But then again you can use that as like the
sort of the basis for Trump to militarize Washington, DC,
So it's lose Lou Yeah, for fucking everybody. Another thing
(05:02):
that's trending there, So Deadline posted this article about a
documentary coming out about Kanye West, and I'm like, what
the ff is this by Kanye West? Apparently for the
last six years he's had this kid. And I say
kid because six years ago this person was eighteen years
old being Trump or fucking what? The same for Kanye's
(05:24):
documentarian capturing the last six years of his life and
now it's going to be a feature length documentary.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Are you ready to disconnect from reality for that? Law?
Speaker 1 (05:36):
So fucking what? It says. The film quote examines the
evolving nature of idolatry, both in Ye's cultivation of public
idolatry and in his pursuit of various idols, from luxury
brands and celebrity to faith and family. It also speaks
to the director's deeper creative and spiritual reckoning. Was the
film made in Yea's name, his own or something greater?
It looks fucking upsetting, but it.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
It's very disturbing. It's like like watching a mental breakdown
as a reality TV type thing. Is like and also
for anybody who's like dealt with mental illness for that extent.
It's like I'm watching it and I'm like having like
PTSD from from like just people like crashing out and
not having like the resources. But this man is also
(06:22):
a Nazi.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Like yeah, I'm that, So I'm curious. I'm like, how
much of it will just be objective? Is this guy
how you know? How how much affection does he feel
for Kanye West that he's like, well, I'm not I
don't want to do him totally dirty. I don't want
to talk about all the other fucked up shit I
saw Or is this a full blown just like unfiltered
look at all of this that's happening. I'm not sure.
(06:44):
Uh but uh, Brian the editor says, I'm locking it
in now. This is going to win an oscar who knows?
Who fucking knows? But that fucking I mean that trailer
was didn't he horrifying?
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Didn't Also like recently his like store like the they
drop the prices or something, so like the most expensive
anything is in there is like one hundred dollars, it's
like twenty or something like I thought I thought I
saw something online.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
He's been selling more and more things about how he's
trying to make things accessible or whatever. I don't know.
It's just so hard to like look at him and
be like, whoa, what it? Yeah, you kind of just
like let it do help shit. But anyway, that's where
that's at Canada.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Silence it's activated again. She's like, did somebody ask for me?
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Yeah, hello, Hello, I'm here.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
That is coming out in September, and I'm still not
sure what Kanye West thinks of that, or gay or
yeezy or whatever the fuck Hitler whatever he goes by.
Speaking of troubled rappers, ice Cube, I know last week
you were.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Talking of all time probably.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Y'all we're talking about the War of the World's fucking
Amazon Prime commercial where a drone delivery potentially saves Earth.
Really cool, really cool, really cool. But the reason why
I think it was being talked about was that it
had a zero percent on Rotten Tomatoes. Rotten Tomatoes. We're
only talking about it now because it's actually climbed up
to three percent. Pretty still totally shitty.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
But so you're telling me there's a chance.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
There's only a ninety seven percent chance that it's ship
now also like he.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Or like the whole movie is, isn't it based on
like how people are trying to get your data? And
it's like Amazon is telling you this Amazon.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Are we going to talk about their cloud services too?
And the kind of data that's there and who's no, like.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Why do you want what like Amazon's and then they're
using like USBs and doing like delivery services that save
the day. Yeah, I'm just I'm like how it's just
sad that we're this dumb, you know what I mean
that they were like we could just do this and
this will be fine.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Yeah, there is. People are saying, like there's an Entertainment
Weekly article that's basically being like, dude, it's not that bad.
It's not even saying it's good. It's just like, y,
it's your run of the mill, shitty movie. You know,
who cares.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
It's that bad because it's like made by a corporation
and they didn't take the green screen out of his glasses,
Like it's that bad. It's also not bad in a
fun way. It's not like campy. It's just like it's
just fun to talk about because it's like so bad.
But it's not like it's not can't. It's I don't know,
it's not going to be like a cult classic.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
It's just a market shot. Probably you're going to give
it a shot. No, I won't. I don't have time.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
You know, there's like a million otheres to watch. Go
watch weapons or some shit. I'm gonna do.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
That's not gonna see weapons. I have to see weapons.
But her majesty was like, bro get I'm fuck out
of here. I'm not trying to see that ship. So
I'll yeah, I'm.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
Going tonight with my nephew. I'm gonna be like terrifying.
I'm like, you put your arms by your side, Tam.
Don't run no running. Don't do that, which is cape
arm shape when you running at meat.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Hell no, not run that. Yeah, the this one, it says.
Jordan Hoffman of Entertainment Weekly noted that The War of
the wards and was quote certainly stupid, but it's also
a great deal of fun, never boring. It's filled with
entertaining lines and as a cheese factor that is perfectly
self aware. I don't know about that. It looks like
dog shit and watching they're like these.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Clipsa sad for ice cube.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
I'm not man, fuck that guy fucking oh wait, I
mean whatever, It's like, just oh well, shut up. He
was doing this thing. Was like, man, the stuff that's
going on with Trump, that's not right. It's like, you asshole,
you were working with him in twenty twenty. You're like,
I'm gonna work on his council for how to help
black hole.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
I didn't I miss this whole thing. That's crazy.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
He's look this, this is what they all do, These
old fucking rappers. They're basically they're just Republicans in the eighties.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Are there any like based old rappers.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
I'm sure black thought, Oh hell yeah, you know. I hope,
I hope. All all I know is every like older
hip hop idol I had has just revealed themselves to
be like either so dumb or so conservative that it's
like just not even funny, or like questioning vaccines and
doing that.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
That's what I feel about. Like old comedians, except like
Bill Burr and Marin are doing okay right now.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
They're doing okay, they're doing okay, Okay.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
I'm keeping an eye out, but you're doing okay right now.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Yeah. Yeah, at least, yeah, their their anger is directed
in the right direction. But anyway, that's where the ice
cube fresh freshometer is at the tomatometer, as it were.
Let's take a quick break and when we come back,
we will talk about Jeff Bezos continues because obviously this
was a Bezos Amazon joint.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Yeah, this is he's now medical the camera. We're reading
scripts from him.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Yeah, Jeff Bezos is now meddling in some filmmaking because
of the new James Bond film, because that is an
Amazon MGM thing. We will talk about that right after
this and we're back. So there's an article out that
(12:22):
apparently Jeff Bezos is quote obsessed with casting his wife
Lauren Sanchez in the new James Bond film that's coming out.
This is what it said. Quote He's obsessed, said a
Hollywood insider. This isn't just a fantasy casting. Jeff wants
her on screen period. She's not an actress, as studio
exec said, but she's Jeff's muse And when you spend
(12:44):
eight billion dollars, you get what you want. So cool. Yeah, sure, Like.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Remember when muses made like good art, like you know
what I mean, Like it used to be like this
famous artist muse like and you see all their ship
museums you're like, damn, that's beautiful. Or even Picasso didn't
he paint like like birds or squirrels or something. He
had like he painted like a bunch of series of
like these animals out of his window.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
He had many muses, Yeah, he had many.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
He's a fucking weird in other ways. But like but
like he's still considered like an artist. And like now
it's like she's my muse, says Jeff Bezos as he boxes.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Had Like what is she bringing out from you to
continually fuck the earth?
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Like weird fucking Hawaiian two tight Hawaiian shirt, long sleeve
button ups, like what is.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Hey, well, they can't see they if I don't wear
a tight shirt, they can't see that my human growth
hormone injections are popping.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Okay, I'm on that Joe Rogan plan, Joe Rogan thing.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Yeah, I got, I got HGH belly and my skull
is expanding at a rate that most doctors are confounded by.
But I look better than I did. But she's my muse.
But she's muse up.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Wait, they need to he needs to link up with
m Night Shamalan because like that man made a whole
movie about his daughter's.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Singing career he did, which was that.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
The fucking what was it trapped or whatever? The one
with Josh Hartnett.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
It was like watching gal Gado like a brown gal
Gado just be like.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Hello, are you robotic actor? Yeah? What's going on?
Speaker 2 (14:27):
It was really fun. I want better for Josh Hartnett though.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Oh man, he's all right. Did he retire from the game.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
He did, but he came back for that.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Good for him. You know, pick your pick your spots, Josh.
That's what I always said, man, It's what I always said. Also,
just to touch on other news, obviously, the FBI has said,
contrary to what you hear from the right wing, violent
crime is down. Okay, violent crime is going down. Now
listen to the bullshit that you hear coming out of
the leadership in this country.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Deploy people so that it goes back from beating the
shit out of people, Recognize people, and to say stop
resisting because I'm illegally harassing you.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
But one thing that is happening now is la booboo
based crime. Labooboo based crime still going up. Okay. I
did not realize that parents are buying anti theft devices
for their la boo boos.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Yeah, backed out one of those from my prius. You
just look on the bottom so it doesn't seel the
catalytic converter out the labooboo.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
It's a catalytic converter plate. Basically, I just I fuse
a metal sheet to my child's back and that's why
they store their laboo boos.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Also, like, do those haunted dolls need any security because
like they're scary and like I feel like they're the
Ferbies of this generation where.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
It's like they're scary to us. They're scary to us.
But the fucking amount of la boo boo hype is
still it is not going away. Like I see fucking
professional soccer players like accessorizing with fucking lab boo boos.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
It doesn't make sense to me. Man. Yeah, Also, wasn't
there a black face la boo boo? That's some la
boo boo clean on TikTok like posted and then got
kistled for.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Yeah, it was funny because I remember the week before
I left, Carmen Laurent was talking about this creator and
was like, Oh, she's really funny or whatever, and it
was like kind of satirical and then I'm like, ah,
you just gotta wait long enough. And then these people
do something dumb because she was saying it was Ksi
the YouTuber. She's like, I've got the first Ksi la
boo boo and it's just like a golliwog, a fucking
(16:27):
minstrel doll just looked like a racist, fucking doll. And
you're like, fuck, yeah, anyway, I.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Don't understand, like consumerism is killing me.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
Give you, neighbor, I'm give people enough time and they'll
just be like and also, sorry, I'm a white spremen. Sorry. Yeah,
took me a second to get that out. But yeah,
there there's been a few, like obviously reports of kids
getting their shits stole, their La Boo boo stolen. And
then h the month before last, what.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
If you saw like la Boo Boo's tied up on
a wire, like like you know how they throw.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Like shoes up, oh like but you know there's something
active on that block. They're like, yeah, yeah, local, they're servant.
They're servant. That used to mean something la Boo Boo's
on a telephone wire, But apparently in Orange County there
was like a fucking like full on robbery at a
makeup store where a bunch of people came in jacked
(17:22):
a bunch of Loo Boo Boo dolls, and there is
a quote man hunt for the thieves who took from
this place. They said we lost about seven thousand dollars
in La Boo boos.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
That's crazy, Yeah, mus do La Buo boos costs, aren't
they like people are doing like knockoffs and shit because
they're expensive or something.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
I mean, for like rare ones. I'm sure how much is.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
A beanie babies? This is furbies, This is all of
Tickle me Out.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
It can be they can be twenty bucks. They can
be I'm seeing them from twenty yeah around twenty. Some
can be fucking more, you know, fifty four, forty three,
thirty nine.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Okay, yeah, that's crazy. I feel like I'm old now,
Oh you are. I'm very old, first of all.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
Second of all, first of all, fuck you, Actually no,
I take it back. I love Laboo Boos and I
know what and I totally get the hype and.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
I totally get it. I'm like all down for it.
I also can't I can't talk on the phone and
other gen Z stereotypes.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
I'm all of it. I'm all all of that. What's
funny is the store owners initially was like, we lost
seven thousand dollars in La Boo Boos. Then they said
it's more than twenty five thousand, and I'm like, well,
hold on, what the hold on? What are you talking about?
You just said it now you're going on in there.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
I am that like the the price of the value
of La Boo Boos went up in the time that
they got stolen. Uh, it's like Baboo Boo stock market.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Yeah, I mean it goes up. I mean, you know this,
this is primo vintage, this is dead stock. But I
guess you know that's It's a it's a sad state
of things because I've got all these beanie babies and
nobody's fucking with them. Come and get him. So I
got I got the Princess Diana commemorative one.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
We're gonna see, like have you guys seen that?
Speaker 1 (19:07):
That?
Speaker 2 (19:07):
What is is some like TV court thing where they
were splitting up their beanie baby collection divorce or whatever.
It's gonna be like that.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Famous shot where it's like a couple in front of
the judges bench, just like okay, and I get this one,
and I get this one God, and now they are.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Worth Meanwhile, they're real pets, are like, hey, can you
feed us?
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Like bro I think was like killing God. That's not
that's a German shepherd. This just hasn't fed him in
a while. Oh shit. Then finally, you were talking about
Freaky Friday and ad placement. I'm bringing this up because
there were Freaky Friday. Fucking we've been talking about commemorative
popcorn buckets, Like the one for the Naked Gun was
(19:50):
just the beaver bucket, as like, that's more of a
reference to the original one. But the freak have you
seen the Freaky Friday ones? No, it's like so coy
to be col So it's switched up. So one's a
soda cup and one's a bucket of popcorn. And guess what,
the soda cup actually has popcorn in it. And you
know that little bucky of popcorn you got, that's actually
(20:13):
your fucking soda. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
So I enjoyed this three and twenty ounce soda.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
What's what's wild is it's just a regular cup. Hidden
inside it's like a medium drink. It's like, I mean,
let's like, let's lean into it. If you're only gonna
get a soda.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
You're not doing the full popcorn bucket. No, you can't
getting less popcorn and just a regular soda.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Yes, yes, no, bitch, no, but hold on, I'll tell
you this for fifty fifty five dollars. No fifty five,
however much that shit costs. I mean, because the Galactis
one for fucking Fantastic four was eighty dollars. This is
where I'm like, I remember back when it all kicked off,
when it was the Dune popcorn bucket, and everybodys talking
about fucking the Dune popcorn bucket.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Yeah, give me some a fuckable if you're gonna make it.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Fifty can't fuck a bucket of popcorn that's actually a
medium sized fountain beverage?
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Yeah? Which hole do I put it in?
Speaker 1 (21:08):
I mean, I think it's pretty clear. But I think
that's I think that's pretty clear. I don't know, I
gotta see let them know. Then there's also there's an
Eminem documentary out now, and then they're selling a popcorn
bucket that's shaped like a giant pill bottle.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Wait waits kind of Eminem.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Marshall Mathers from Detroit. Yeah, never of him, but about
the green eminem. It's about the green eminem and the
road to getting the blue eminem. But yeah, this one
is just like a prescription pill bottle, and.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
People are like fucking crazy.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Sure, I guess they're more of a reference if you
remember that. Like first, uh, what is it the Slim
Shady album? No, of course not. I think that's why
a lot of people are like, Yo, what the fuck
is this man? But anyway, that's that's eminem for you.
Well that's gonna do it for us this afternoon. We're
(22:07):
gonna be back tomorrow with the whole new episode where
we talk about it all. Until then, take care yourselves,
take care of each other, get your vaccines, you know,
don't do nothing by white supremacy. It's rough out there.
And also, hey, do something that you enjoy. You know,

the fucking weird bullshit that's happening on the phone. Go outside,
