Speaker 3 (00:12):
It was weird because okay, we had such mean questions,
but we warmed him up by being sweetie and there
I say flirty. Okay, So I thought as soon as
we started being mean that he would be like, oh
(00:32):
my god, I can't believe what. He just like never left.
It was almost like we had to tell him like, okay,
you have to leave now.
Speaker 2 (00:41):

Speaker 3 (00:51):
Of that approach someone. I remember someone tweeted like a
fan of his very cool fad like she's ugly, and
he was like, lay off, guinely, you were going to
be friends.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
I guess wow that you were going steady.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Yes, he's like when you asked me about my cool
Wu Tang album, I thought.

to agree. I said, like, that's so awesome. You know
you're hip hop stuff.

Woo tang woo, Hello the Internet, and welcome the Season four,
twenty seven, Episode two of Guys.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
It was a production of iHeartRadio.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
It's a podcast we take a deep dive into American
shared consciousness through the day's news. We also have a
new non news history version of TDZ dropping each Monday morning,
where we do a deep dive into the zeitgeist through
the lens of a different icon. A couple of weeks
ago we did Tony Hawk. Last week we did Sherlock
Holmes with Andrew t and this week we got Tupac
(02:26):
with Molly our favorite California historian, Ali Lambert, Yeah, and
La in the building. Truly, we addressed the optical illusion
that it seems like he was alive for seventy eight
years and just the amount of work and news he created.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
It was all wild five year run, like fla year run.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Yeah. There are things that happened in his life in
like a three month span that I was like, Oh,
I thought that was like across a couple decades, but
obviously it couldn't have been. Nope. Anyways, those episodes drop
on Monday. They have icon in the title it's Tuesday,
February twenty fourth, twenty six.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Oh my gosh, that I forgot to pull that up
and I was going to pretend to stretch, but I'm
I'm owning it. It's actually it's a National Trading Card
Day and National Tortilla Chip Day.

Speaker 2 (03:25):
Hey, I wish that Damon Stottamayer Rookie card was still
worth something though.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
They just said. I saw a trading card news story recently,
like the Honus Wagner. They like discovered a new mint
Honus Wagner that sold for like five million dollars or
some shit. And I remembered a time when like Honus
Wagner was like a religious like I didn't even know
(03:51):
who that was, but it was like borrowing that that
card was so goaded. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Well, now it's the illustrator's Pikachu card that one of
the Paul brothers was trying to sell and that became
like the most valuable trading card.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
But it's a bit dubious that title four million dollars
for real?
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Oh yeah, oh yeah, they.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Love the Poke mains most money I can conceive of, Miles.
Speaker 2 (04:15):

Like Blake Shelton. Yeah, exactly, Blake Shelton covering Bad Bunny,
the cover the mashup. We all knew that we needed. Yeah,
that's great, great fun. Miles. Hey, speaking of great fun,
we're through the phrase I use often. We're thrilled to
be joined in our third seed by very funny comedian
(05:31):

the Street, the Chris Gethard Show. She's written for the
New Yorker McSweeney's Reductress, All the All the Funny Places,

around talent. Too many threats to count, they call people
triple threats, too many damn threats to count on this one.
(05:53):
God Mary, wha hell, Hey, guys, I got milk. It
in in the middle of shouting your name.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Drinking milk before the recording.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Let me just let me just house down some of
this whole milk before I say your name. Sorry I
stepped on you. You were saying happy what Yes?
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Yes, yes, big fans.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
Oh yeah of Chip for the record, okay, and also
the show, The Eric Etrata Show Chips.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Also keV doesn't include Chips. Weirdly, Yeah, for some reason.
The one cop that were given.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
A past, why were they given a pass?
Speaker 1 (06:44):
They're the most cop possible.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
That show is them never doing cop ship they're just
on bikes being like, yeah, dude, there.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Were skunks working it or works in it, where they're
just like being bad at being cops. And the only
way to be bad at being cops that's actually good
is like just sucking at your job and interfering with
other people.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Yeah, sure, sure yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Anyways, Mary, we're thrilled to have you back. We're gonna
get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First,
we're going to tell the listener a couple of things
that we're talking about today. We're gonna talk about just
the little information bubble that Donald Trump lives in. It's
one of the least adorable bubbles. I gotta say, Yeah,
it's kind of it's a shitty bubble. We'll talk about
(07:29):
misinformation coming out of this White House and Laura Lumer
about Mexico. We'll talk about a new controversial billionaire tax
where they're going to tax billionaires and it's controversial with billionaires,
Oh yes, with two hundred and fourteen people. But Mary,
(07:49):
before we get to any of that shit, we do
like to ask our guest, what is something from your
search history that's revealing about who you are?
Speaker 3 (07:56):
Oh my god, it's bad. Oh okay, Mike Huckabee says
Israel can take the entire Middle East. I just want
to make sure that's exactly what he said.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
So I looked at my biblical right.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
I think that is what he said. Yes, that the
Bible gives them the right for.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
That, so legally can take it, not like pro wrest
by back.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Down to Egypt. They can take it if they want.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
It's fair, right, Biblically yeah, Biblically yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
All they have to do is start a war then
it would be fair. That's what he said.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Start a war. And then you go, hey, why are
you doing that, and go, oh, a Bible I'm calling
Bible rights. Sorry, the Rule Book of Ghost Stories says
this is mine and all double Bible writes no back seas.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
You actually have to give it to me. Now, I
think I think he didn't.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
You have to clarify, because pretty much the rest of
the world was like, are you fucking out of your mind?
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Dude?
Speaker 2 (08:54):
What the fuck are you talking about? He said it
was taken out of context.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
Oh my god, it's not what I was saying.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
You said Israel had the biblical right to the entire
Middle East, Dude, what do you mean, Yeah, he said
it would be I don't know, I don't know why
what he means that it was taken out of context.
It's hard to know what in what context that it's
I was lying.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
It's bull like a nonsense saying that people use. It
doesn't really mean anything.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Yeah, because again, like people are mad at me, and
so I'm gonna say it's taken out of context? What
context of my entire life?
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Yeah, the context of who I am, and again offers
no actual context in which it made any kind of
sense or wasn't offensive or homicidal. But then also Mike
Huckabee is one of those like it starts bring bring
Jesus back by having war, an Israel guy, so it
makes sense coming from.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
Him, which makes sense, you know, because he's pro life
and wants everyone.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Yeah, but that's different. If you lose life sense of
bringing Christ back, then we're all going to be together
and have it anyway.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
So that's right.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
Yeah, a couple of broken eggs.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Yeah, exactly, a couple of billion broken bodies.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
It's so weird for me to like hear this stuff
coming out of Mike Huckabee because like I first knew
him as just a musician that I really like the Yeah,
Michael Huckaby the bass the bass player. Yeah, that's my guy.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
You remember when he had the bass player from corn
On and when he had his talk show and they
were jamming together and it was the saddest, fucking just
thing I've ever seen.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
But anyway, oh yeah, Catherine points out, don't don't check
out their his collaboration with us, with our company. iHeart Huckaby's.
That's terrible, catrine. I'm sorry, I'm sorry for giving you credit. Yeah,
but uh, what is Mary something that you think is underrated?
Speaker 3 (10:59):
Okay? I have I have two? Which one do you
think is better?
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Let's hear them both?
Speaker 3 (11:04):
The PBS Passport app or Nascar.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Okay, cool? We I think we've gotten the PBS Passport
app before, or at least I have in my life.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
I mean, everyone knows it's good. It doesn't take much.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Yeah wait, wait what is it?
Speaker 1 (11:22):
What are you talking with on the PBS passport Wait?
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Hold on, yeah, I don't know what what is the
PBS Passport app.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
Oh it's like they're streaming app.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Okay, Oh I have like the kid version of that.
Oh yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
So I mostly watch Finding Your Roots, Nova Nature, any
of the ken Burnstocks.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Yeah, just you have global access to ken Burns documentary.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Yeah, I mean.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Come on, that happens so much. There's so many times
when I'm like, but surely you can get them somewhere else, right, right,
Like with ken Burns documentaries. What was it for for
the Elvis Icons episode? I was wanted to watch an
episode about the country music ken Burns presents Country Music.
(12:09):
You gotta go to you gotta go to PBS, you
gotta go to the source.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
I remember when like the Civil War came out. I
was like, the only sound of the Civil War is
someone playing a fiddle with someone.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Reading the letter? Yeah, someone reading and a fiddle in
the background.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
I'm like, and that was the anti Bedllum period, you know,
and during the Civil War.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
I remember when the Civil War dropped? Yes? Was that
also dope?
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Like? Was that also like a like ultimate boomer dad gift?
Was any ken Burns like ten tape fucking set? I
remember like the baseball one required purchases for fathers, like
white American fathers on Father's Day. That's right, And here
is your ken Burns.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
Baseball Baseball with the side of Mike Lupka.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Okay, so what tell me about NASCAR though, Okay.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Well, yeah, this is new. I don't think we've gotten
an under.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
Anything about NASCAR until yesterday. My friend posted on his
instant story that he was watching NASCAR and to come
through and so and so I went, and all the
people there were from the South, and they were teaching
me about NASCAR, and it's almost like wrestling, Like the
(13:30):
drivers have personality. Some of them are super racist, some
of them are super woke, and there's good guys.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
I didn't know about that second category of NASCAR, be
honest with.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Oh, Michael Jordan owns a bunch of cars.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Did you know that? This is something that we recently
found out about, unfortunately, because of a video clip of
him celebrating his Daytona five hundred win by pinching the butt,
grabbing the butt, treating the butt of a of the
you know, young child of the winning driver like it
(14:07):
was a Napkins dispenser.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
Yeah, well, no comment.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
We were like, oh, ship, Michael's doing it, and we're like,
what are you doing? Michael Jordan's you're drunk.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
Yeah, So there were just a ton of cutaways to
Michael Jordan during NASCAR and that's like just not what
I thought NASCAR was And it was pretty interesting.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Nice.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Were you confused why? During the cutaways they were like
and there's Michael Jordan very far from grabbing any child's butt,
like a.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
Yeah, that's what the lower bird said. It said not
currently touching the child's but also the owner and thirty five.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Yeah, all right, here we go, because I do need
to get your take on this. It's just hard. No, yeah,
that's it, you can't. Yeah, what do we think he
thought he was doing? Is like really the question that
we're at now. So speculated that there was ice down
the kid's back maybe, but it's like even that is
(15:09):
hard to believe based. Yeah, it's very strange.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
I think the only answer to that is.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
It's definitely yeah. Unfortunately, Yes, it's gonna be a note
for me. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Wait, so did you come away after that like with
now you like you you've learned a little bit. Now
you've got a team or a driver or an aspect
of NASCAR that like appeals to you now, or you're
just more like that was a nice experience.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
Thank you for that, rooting for all of Michael Jordan's cars.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Basically he has multiple cars.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
Yep, yep. He has three cars. One of them is
a black driver. One of them is a white short
king with a beautiful black wife.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
The third car I don't know about because they came in.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
It's a last like the beginning of a Joe, like
a black nasscar driver, a short NASCAR driver, and a
priest walking.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
To a bar. He got used on that epsteam list
like seventeen times, which isn't that many. Yeah, I guess
not the way compared to the president. He set the
bar so high, you know. That is one thing that
we can say about this president. The thing for me
about NASCAR is when you're watching it, there's not I mean,
(16:28):
it's kind of like almost almost all the time, it's
like watching a blowout NBA game or something where it's
just like it's there's never that moment of like huge
drama where it's like it all comes down to this
moment like a close race. It's still you know, like
I guess there are close races, but they're not pretty ended.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
The NBA is actually such a perfect analogy because it's
kind of like you can half watch and then the
final two minutes, You're like, oh my.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
God, go all right, Maybe I need to give it
another shot.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Maybe I just need to start watching the last three
laps of NASCAR. Yes.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
Oh, and also something I learned is some of the drivers,
if they win, their sponsors will give out free chicken nuggets.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Oh so depending on which fast food chain you're aligned with.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
Yes, so there was a Wendy's car yesterday and if
he had won, Wendy's would have given out free chicken
tenders today.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Oh damn.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
And I heard that in the past. Sometimes drivers get
really emotional and cry and say, you know that they
wish that they could have given everyone free chickens.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
I mean, given the state of this economy, I would
imagine that it's like like, I'm sorry, we weren't able
to distribute food to people.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Children going hungry because of your loss. How does that
make you feel?
Speaker 2 (17:59):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (17:59):
God, quick word, can't.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
That be on someone else? I mean, yeah, we could
talk about the government, or like all the gardens drive
it a little harder.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Yeah, what is something Mary, you think is overrated?
Speaker 3 (18:12):
Okay? So I had trouble picking one. If I get
any pushback, I'm going to immediately say that.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
I was thinking of.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
I think Sabrina Carpenter is overrated. Go on, she's she's good,
but whatever, I feel that.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Yeah, I was just talking. I was I was doing
my first gym session with my trainer, gym session. Telephone
came the Gaga Beyonce collab came on and we were
both saying, I was like, when was the last time
pop stars bridged the gap like this, you know a
way that was like Joe, the two of them, and
(18:57):
we brought up Sabrina Carpenter doing people or other pops
and like, is this not the same. It's just not
the same. And I'm and I'm sure it's generational too,
because I see I feel like I see so many
younger people in like are getting an aesthetic inspiration from
Sabrina Carpenter. I feel like I see a lot of
Sabrina Carpenter that the vibe coming out and how people
dress and stuff.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
But Miles is looking at me right now, that's the same.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Yeah, Jah, Well people haven't seen you with that blonde wiglaw, Yeah,
because no, it's convincing.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
It's it's volo rosy cheeks. A lot of rosy cheeks
going around out there in the World of Puck.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
Oh, everyone loves them. I think I'm just kind of
bored by pop stars in general, even the ones that
people like. I think I would like musicians to be
more like Larussell, where they just talk all the time
about how much everything costs right, and have shows in
their backyard. I would like pop stars to be more
(19:54):
damn to Earth.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Yeah, it's so cool to see Larussell like really blow
up too, because I just remember early on, I was
just watching TikTok videos of all those backyard concerts and
I was like, Okay, I like whatever this is, and.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
Now it's so wholesome.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Yeah, yeah, we need more regular people. Yeah, because I
just love that's my favorite line. Espresso. It's like I'm
working late because I'm a singer, and.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
I'm like, hell, yeah, yeah you know what.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Yeah, you're working like because you're a singer.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
We've all been there.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
Yeah man, yeah, shoe Joe, Yeah, I go shoot Joe.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
My girlfriend Sabrina's isn't off work yet. She's a singer.
Oh okay, like she's not off work. Oh my gosh.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
Yeah that's something your friend says and you're like, oh
my god, they're totally cheating on them.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
Oh no, yeah, they're working like because they're a singer.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
Oh it's crazy, like they're either cheating or they made
that person up, Like.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Yeah, right, this is this is the third birthday party
in a row for you. They haven't been at I
know there, singer, what are you gonna do? All right?
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Life on the road.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
It's crazy, man, it's so expensive. Man, I'm like half
supporting her career. Other than venmost of it's crazy, guys.
I didn't know hair extensions were so expensive.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
So Sabrina Carpenter overrated. And if the and if you
if that away, that was taking someone else, You're going
taken out of contact full somebody else full armadillo take.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
I will go into my protective armor and roll back
into the bushes and I.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
Won't protect you, but Martin Screelly might come through and
so leave married you know who does have my back?
Leave Mary out of this right Yeah. Music takes our
surprisingly very controversial. We still having such a weird long
tail on this thing. From our two thousand episode, we
(22:06):
went back and talked about Quincy Jones talking about the Beatles,
and we lifted a clip from that for social and
it has going off it's fred is crazy.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
All you have to do is tell some like middle
aged white dudes the Beatles weren't that popping and it's
fucking like red alert time in the sure.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
Well, that was a great interview. He said, like basically
none of them could play instruments.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
In general, and we all heard that Ringo couldn't play. Yeah, Paul,
he could, he could. It's like, right, relaxed. It's funny
because it's Quincy Jones just saying a bunch of wild
stuff and cash shit.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
It's not asserting that your sacred Beatles were a bunch
of non plane motherfuckers. As he said, No'm playing motherfuckers.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
Such a good yeah, exactly, Like I don't care if
the stuff Cut Williams says about Kevin Hart is true
or not. I like it.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
It's funny to hear. I'm not taking that as gospel truth.
It's called funny things to hear.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Uh shit, all right, let's take a quick break. We'll
come back, we'll talk about some news. We'll be right back,
and we're back. We're back, and this Trump administration, uh huh,
(23:33):
I'm gonna get us all killed.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
Baby, It's it's terrifying, you know, we really we touched
on just the like the sinility of it all constantly,
Like when last week he was Yeah, it was last
week when he said, like and this man said, President,
I want to kiss you, and you're like, what the fuck?
Why is that even a thing to say? It's like, oh,
of course, because your brain circuitry is completely.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
Sat strong Man Steel Magnate.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
Yeah, and he's going Biden mode.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
I feel like maybe rhetorically that's what needs to be said.
So like MAGA, people starting out more like, dude, this
guy looks like Biden.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
Yeah, fuck, dude, he's Biden maxing.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
Dude, you're getting sanility mogged right now by Biden maxing.
But yeah, just do The cortisol spikes are fucking humiliating anyway.
So I think, you know, we we've obviously positive, as
many people have many times, that he's in an alternate reality,
and not just due to like the cognitive decline or
like the acute narcissism, but also because he's more than
(24:41):
likely it's almost it's it is actually guaranteed that he
is being shielded from the truth by his aides who
don't who as a way of like personality management, because
like look, we see it all the time. There's like
the regular sycophant boot licking meetings that we'll talk about
where just like everyone sits at a table and it's
like show and tell of sycophants.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
Being Yeah, the telephone, the televised ones where they're like
and sir, I have created this cheer for you, and
I've brought in the Alabama roll Tide Marching band to
like they just all like have prepared remarks about how
he is.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
This is a scroll on papyrus where I have listed
all of your many great achievements, sir.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
Overwritten the Dead Sea scrolls.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
Yeah, whited it all out, but like we see that, right,
And like there's the cancelations of public appearances, like he
didn't want to go to the super Bowl, but it
was like I was too tired. But really they were saying,
it's like no, because he's gonna get booed, and like
we don't like he's he doesn't he doesn't fiddle that well.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
There's are little pin pricks to the outside world, like
you can't you can't let Truman out to do a
walk about after you know from the Truman Show. You
got to keep him in his bubble exactly.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
And also like the polling he always talks about like that,
Like we see the polls and they're like, yeah, yeah,
people are not really into this. But he's like they
all the polls always wrong. I've seen the real polls,
and you're like, what what do you mean? It's sure
someone's writing shit down and telling you that's a poll.
I'm pretty sure that's what it is. So like now
I'm just sort of like, this is putting at increasing
(26:19):
risk for something truly catastrophic to happen based on whatever
alter Like obviously with all the dangers he presents already,
that to add to that fake information to create a
worldview where he's actually more powerful or more potent than
he actually is, or has more support for something than
he actually does, I'm like, it's it's getting worse and worse,
especially as we hear about Iran. And he was just
(26:41):
speaking at an event on Monday, and it's even clear
that he's being showed being shown alternate numbers all the time.
So like he talked about the economy and like the
thing that he said he could fix but that was
never gonna happen. He loves to again claim that this
is like, there's nothing to see here. This is actually,
see the greatest economy anyone has ever seen.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
Right, look at the stock market, Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
The Dow is fifty out, Like, oh god, that's all
because that's what he needs to hear. So here's here's
just a clip of him again asserting that the economy
where by all you know, measurable all measurable data, it
seems to indicate this is not a great economy for
working people.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
I feel by the way this does feel like he
this speech is when a comedian is going to like
do a big event or like host the Oscars and
they like go out on the road to like, you know,
test material and test for the State of the Union. Yeah,
this feels like he's just doing State of the Union shit,
like to be like, how's this going to go over?
What do people think? Am I getting? Are the laughs
(27:43):
at the right place?
Speaker 2 (27:44):
I mean, yeah, it's a joke in that you're saying
the economy is good, right, It's a setup and punchline
in of itself. But yeah, we have the greatest economy ever.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
Apparently we have a country that's now doing well.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
We have the greatest economy we've ever had.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
We have the most activity we've ever I'm making a
speech tomorrow night, and.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
You'll be hearing me say that.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
I mean, it's it's going to be a long speech
because we have so much to talk about.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
Oh, he seems quite crazy by that.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
What a tease by the way he almost fell asleep.
But well saying when did he had a speech coming up?
Speaker 2 (28:16):
I'm understanding that this is what it is, you know,
apparently okay, So then then this is also very interesting,
right is like the polling. There's the latest polling that
was just even shown on CNN. I was showing how
he went from forty one percent approval with Latinos in
February of last year to now twenty two percent, forty
(28:39):
five percent approval with voters under forty five in February
of last year to now twenty seven percent, forty one
percent of independence approved a year ago to now twenty
six percent.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
It's those are I'm no political expert, Miles, you know
that those numbers are bad.
Speaker 3 (28:57):
They see person. Yeah again, expert.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
I wouldn't want that. I know podcast numbers and if
if if my downloads were going, I'd be like, oh,
something something's different there.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
Half yeah, yeah, half seas on those numbers.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Yeah yeah, right. And again this is at the same
event talking that extra special shit about how you know
what the polls say this, But I've actually seen something different,
and I'm sure he literally has been shown something different.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
Polls are tough, you know, when you get a fake
poll I get him today.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
I saw one today that I'm at forty I'm not
a forty percent, much.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
Higher twenty six.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
I mean, I'd love to run against the real pole
say you kill everybody, wouldn't even be close. But I
believe that right the real the real polls say like that,
they're showing like, sir, those are all wrong. Look at
these You're locked in and they're like, fuck, how do
we fuck the rat fuck the election to make this happen,
(29:59):
because it happening electorally or through any kind of democratic process.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
I hope he believes that so that he doesn't break.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
The election, like you know, well he's going they know
they have to, you know what I mean, Like, even
if he doesn't, but I'm sure this is part of
him being like dude, if he really gets he's gonna
start lashing out at everyone. We've already have all this
all these messages. We have to clean up barely keeping
this fucking circus together. But again, it's like, if he's
being shown things that are saying, dude, you're not as
(30:31):
wildly unpopular as you are. No need to change course.
The economy that you said you'd fix is actually looking
worse and worse and worse. The amount of debt that
is being added is catastrophic. Then I'm like, then what
are they telling him about Iran right now? You know,
as like we're seeing all this like build up and
rhetorical you know, sort of setting of the table to
(30:52):
try and manufacture consent for some kind of armed conflict
over there.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
I think I can get them to do whatever they want. Yeah,
I think I think that, like AI video of him
winning gold for the US team was probably something they
actually shut up to. Sarah, you blacked out again, and
uh check it out. Look what you did.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
Oh, that's that's crazy. So the referees also have sticks
and have a puck while I play. Yeah, Yeah, that's
that's how good you are.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
Man.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
The refs had to get in there against you also
had their own buck.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
Did that ship on some people? Again? No, sir, it's
a matter of speaking you did. Yeah, yeah, yeah, here
stick work. Look at Canadians are scared ork of determination.
But yeah, just like even I think everything we could
just get just even darker and darker and darker as
you have things like again at Epstein scandal, that they're
(31:45):
trying so hard to just put their heads in the
ground and act like isn't there to now whatever they
think they're going to get some kind of like wartime
bump in approvals, like some common George Bush like, and
I'm like, god, this is a completely different era, Like
people are fully soured on like military intervention abroad for
(32:06):
no fucking reason, so that you think this is people
are going to start and be like, oh, thank god,
We're going to Iran for no reason and more people
can die for.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
No fucking reason. Mm hmm. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
Also, was Georgia Bush's popularity Like I feel like it
was really strong in the aftermath of nine to eleven
and then he went to Iraq and it started taking
a ship right like once it was became clear that
like the whole thing was a lie, and you know,
like right, I feel like that. I don't know, maybe
(32:37):
those numbers aren't reaching Trump, but like I'm pretty sure
that that was in the end not good for his popularity, right,
because yeah, nobody really thought. I think people got on
board in the run up because they thought it was
going to be like the first one. But right, yeah,
nobody thinks that.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
It was just getting it up to because I think
before the invasion it got up to like sixty four
percent and then approval, yeah, like it was going up.
They saw us going up with the saber rattling. Yeah yeah,
and they're like, oh, yeah, yeah, so we're gonna do
a little bit of that. But again, the problems like
that was that was those are that was like an
(33:18):
era of relative peace for Americans, and the context is
completely different, especially now when you have things like the
economy crushing people and being like what the fuck, Like
I'm getting priced out of milk. That if you're not
addressing those things and thinking merely, people go, I don't
need food or a job. I need to feel good
that we're gonna bomb Iran, Like.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
My favorite NASCAR racer is probably gonna win. I don't
need food, right, you know, right exactly, Get free nuggies.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
Get dude, dude, I'm sitting pretty with these ten ds man.
But yeah, and I think this goes to show like
that the absolute clowns are in this cabinet now and
have no idea how anything goes, and it's just sort
of like, well, we know we can at least get
the wartimes, we get the military industrial like machine humming again,
and those people get money, and we'll just invest in
(34:05):
that and just kind of keep moving our money around
until we walk out of here with money so big
we can hide forever.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
Yeah, it's generally not good when people aren't telling you
the truth and you're not working with actual information, and like, seriously,
what people are. Everybody else extremely.
Speaker 3 (34:22):
Kissed about the Epstein files, Like it cannot be overstated.
Regular people left and right, everyone, I'm so angry about this.
They're going to lose their minds if we bomb Iran.
Speaker 2 (34:36):
A fucking twenty one year old MAGA supporter pulled up
Tomara Lago armed and got killed by the Secret Service
because of the fucking Epstein files. Yeah, like, there are
such huge, fucking issues that have to be addressed, And
again this just goes to show like the people who
are running things have just such a perverse understanding or
(34:58):
intentional misunderstanding of how it all works works to be
like no, man, line goes up. We get our money,
we get out, and if we have more money, we
can protect ourselves from poor people with violence. And that's yeah.
Speaker 3 (35:09):
I think they just truly don't get it, because like,
when do these people interact with like poor middle class
people ever?
Speaker 2 (35:16):
No, I've always said, they're like, we're.
Speaker 3 (35:18):
Helping our friends make money, Like we're a good guy.
Speaker 2 (35:21):
What's going Why are you.
Speaker 3 (35:22):
Mad at us?
Speaker 1 (35:23):
I can't release the files. Some of my very good
friends are going to get hurt with his explanation anxiety MTG.
That's what he told her. Right of my very good
friends are in there. Did he not know? He was like,
I'm just like, is that one of the pieces of
information that they were withholding from him? That he was
(35:45):
also I don't know?
Speaker 2 (35:46):
I mean because the way again, because you also hear
it in his rhetoric around the Epsteine Filez. He goes like,
I've been told I've been totally exonerated. He's always I've
been told yes, and you're like, and I believe it.
And because you know, they're not gonna be like sir
man all over this ship man, like.
Speaker 1 (36:01):
What the was going on? Looks bad?
Speaker 2 (36:04):
You need to.
Speaker 3 (36:07):
Is fine, he's living somewhere. Delane is fine. They got
a body double in prison. I'll be fine too. Yeah,
chill out, everybody.
Speaker 2 (36:16):
Oh my god, have you heard yourself?
Speaker 1 (36:19):
It was that that was the first one where it
was like, oh, he's like not getting any informant. Like
he was literally like where why don't people just move on?
Like ye, we're all moving on And if you ask
questions about that, you're actually not my friend anymore. Yeah,
Like that was literally like that into Yeah, that's the
(36:40):
energy he run into the epsteam files months and months ago.
Speaker 2 (36:46):
Person, if you keep talking about it, you're definitely not
a Republican and you're like okay, and you're not coming
to my birthday party either. Not with that, keep that up.
Speaker 1 (36:54):
It really, but yeah, it does remind you of like
the end of Downfall, like that meme that has been
so popular for so long, of like when they finally
come clean with Hitler and or like.
Speaker 2 (37:05):
So surrounding Berlin.
Speaker 1 (37:06):
Yeah, that they're losing the war and they just like
haven't told him to that point because everyone's so scared
of him, and so they like tell him and he
just like flips out. Like that's kind of what you
hear about, like how Trump reacts when things go badly.
Speaker 2 (37:21):
Yeah, because that whole thing too is like in the
in that scene, right, he believes there's a whole other
army regiment coming to support the defense of Berlin, and
they're like, uh, Steiner's not gonna make it here with
his men. And it's like, so we're cooked, bro, Like
(37:41):
we're cooked. Yeah, it's uh, you can only imagine, you
can only imagine. And then like you know, Pete Heigsth
is now saying shit like, oh, we're gonna be ordering pizzas,
like all kinds of ways to throw you guys off
from the pizza tracker at the Pentagon.
Speaker 1 (37:55):
Oh good, So he's he's invested in Calshi. Yeah, right, exactly,
he gets that. That's how we want to follow stories. Now, Yeah,
will they will?
Speaker 2 (38:06):
Will people die needlessly based on the amount of pizzas
being ordered? Please tell me? Please tell me.
Speaker 1 (38:12):
All right, let's talk Mexico, because big things are happening
over the weekend. On Sunday, Almansho, leader of the Hallisco
New Generation cartel, was killed in a military operation conducted
by the Mexican government with help from the US government.
Speaker 2 (38:30):
Intelligence Wise that's I think a lot of people will
have you thinking that it's like the US did that shit.
It's like, yeah, they were probably like here's something they.
Speaker 1 (38:38):
Used the Havana syndrome weapon to give everybody knows please.
Speaker 2 (38:43):
Yeah, everybody got a Havana syndrome gun down there and
they used it. But yeah, it was like it's just
the subsequent power vacuum caused all kinds of panic. Cartel
members are rioting, setting fire to cars, gas stations, buildings,
Like a prosecutor got killed, like some of his like
henchmen were also killed, and they operate the mission, I
(39:05):
don't know, the hate job whatever whatever it's called when
the state takes your life and you know the video reaction,
military action, military action. Yeah, the videos were.
Speaker 1 (39:17):
It becomes it becomes like such just like defint like
uniquely spaceds.
Speaker 2 (39:23):
When the government put a hit out, like if the
government is also a gang, they put a hit out
and then their their goons clapped them. But yeah, so
like the videos are all over I mean like all
over the internet, which just ship on fire, people running
like in just like there's like so much chaos happening
in airports and but then there are people be like,
there's gunmen in the airports. And when I say people,
(39:46):
people most likely looking at Laura Lomer's fucking Twitter account,
where somehow hurt proxy because she has a fucking Pentagon
press pass. Now, yes, that it gives an air of
legitimacy to the non sense that she tweets when, especially
when she's like the US has helped conduct this operation
d DA.
Speaker 1 (40:05):
But again, Ruli, who handcuffed herself to the Twitter headquarters
when she thought she was being shadowed ban Yes, yes,
years ago alert and then last year during the election,
was like kind of.
Speaker 2 (40:17):
People thought they were having an affair.
Speaker 1 (40:19):
Like people thought they were having an affair. She was
spending a lot of time with Trump.
Speaker 2 (40:23):
I think she based on his memory. She was probably
just trying to remind him constantly that she existed, Right, yeah, yeah,
they're like, no, it's like people think it's an affair.
He's so senile. It's like you need affair levels of
interaction to stay in his mind. But yeah, she said again,
tourists were being taken hostage, like out of their hotels
by armed gunman. Planes were on fire, just sensational nonsense.
(40:45):
And it got to the point where the Mexican Embassy
had to put a direct like a statement out to
directly address her lies. They're saying, like, it's false that
attacks against civilians took place at the Guadalajara Airport. It's
false that attacks were carried out against the general population
in Jalisco. It's false that members of organized crime were
holding US tourist hostage. There's a fake photograph of a
(41:06):
plane on fire in Guadalharla that was using Guadalahara that
was used. False that government took over the facilities of
the Guadalahara Airport. It's false that the US military personnel
participated in the arrest of Elmento in Mexico. So again,
this is like sort of nothing, nothing could have gone
wrong when you kick out actual journalists from the Primate
Pentagon and you give it to these like weird grifters online.
Speaker 1 (41:28):
Whose online shit posters.
Speaker 2 (41:30):
Yeah, for sure. And I think saying this shit obviously
serves two purposes. The first that it helps like paint
Trump as a strong man, you know, because let's be real,
he was basically this happened because he was demanding Mexico
do something about the cartels or else I'm gonna fucking
it conduct military operations in your country. And second, it
(41:54):
helps keep the perception that Mexico is a very bad
place and by comparison, America is actually great. Please stop
reading the news about how it's not that's those are lies.
Look at the look at the three video clips of
a gas station on fire, and you don't need news.
Speaker 1 (42:11):
Just watch Cicario. That's all. That's all the news.
Speaker 2 (42:13):
Yeah, the documentary Cicario. And I think that second sort
of benefit was what like Utah editor Mike Lee clearly
thought he was doing because he posted a like CCTV
camera of these guys, these mask guys, setting a gas
station on fire, and he posted cartel hitmen wear masks.
(42:34):
Leftists aren't complaining.
Speaker 1 (42:37):
Damn, that's actually uh fuck, I don't think I can
oppose Ice anymore. Yeah, he did get my ass on
that one, because the bad guys wear masks.
Speaker 3 (42:49):
Yeah, cartels and let them disappointment.
Speaker 2 (42:56):
Show yourselves, cowards, what are you hiding from the.
Speaker 3 (43:00):
Then go away? Okay cartel?
Speaker 2 (43:02):
Yeah exactly are those ninety five? Oh my god? Okay,
but you know, like this, like everyone, even Chuck Schumer,
like people were just phoning him on Twitter when Chuck
Schumer is even getting you. It said, yes, cartel hit
men wear masks, that's why I shouldn't, and everyone just
started like hopping on it.
Speaker 3 (43:22):
He and that's actually not why. That's not the logic.
You mean those are two things.
Speaker 2 (43:29):
Yeah. Christopher Murphy from Kinetic said, oh, dear Mike, I
literally couldn't make our argument better than you do. The
bad guys wear masks, the good guys don't. And you're like, well,
all right, I mean, I guess.
Speaker 1 (43:42):
You're actually just learning that cartel hit men wear masks,
and that is why I shouldn't like what.
Speaker 3 (43:49):
The cartels in many ways.
Speaker 1 (43:52):
So yeah, that that tweet went bye bye pretty quickly.
But Mike, yeah, yeah, that's.
Speaker 2 (43:58):
Because that's from his personal account based Mike Lee. It's
not his like official Senator Lee account, it's his other
one that he should posts from. Wait really yeah yeah
it's yeah based, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's where we post from. Yep, yep, yep.
Speaker 1 (44:13):
Anyway, because yeah, you got old old dudes thinking their.
Speaker 2 (44:17):
Twenty three year old ship posters and like, yeah, doing
based Mike Lee. It's like, dude, you're just get the
fuck out of here.
Speaker 1 (44:23):
Yeah, is this based? Can I get can I get
a feedback from the interns if this is based this
is living.
Speaker 2 (44:31):
On based frog meme. Cool, No, all right, all right, all.
Speaker 1 (44:36):
Right, lett's take a quick break and we'll be right back.
And we're back, and there's uh I just I just
want to read this headline from sf gate. Pro billionaire
(44:57):
tax campaign warns of hospital shutting down in first tv ad,
and then they also call it a controversial in the
In the early part of the article, they call it
a controversial pro billionaire or billionaire tax, which is I
keep seeing it referred to as such.
Speaker 2 (45:15):
God, don't look at who owns those outlets.
Speaker 1 (45:18):
Right.
Speaker 3 (45:19):
The whole thing that they always say is like, well,
all the billionaires are going to move, and it's like
not really, California is kind of sick. Why would they move?
Speaker 1 (45:28):
Ye?
Speaker 3 (45:30):
What do you mean?
Speaker 2 (45:30):
I mean, there was like we'll go to Florida. We'll
go to Florida, all right.
Speaker 3 (45:33):
Gol yeah, right.
Speaker 1 (45:35):
Their first sentence here is the Labor Union, pushing forward
the highly controversial billionaires wealth tax, is launching its first
TV AD during the Olympics this weekend. S f Gate
has learned, first of all, great scoop, they're running an ad,
but we watched a commercial, but yeah, I was, this
seems like a political winner to me on the level
(45:59):
that the the democratic mainstream Democratic Party could not possibly
get behind it because it's just like so obviously going
to be very popular. So I was like, where we
getting this highly controversial element of this bill front. So
at the very end of the article, they say the
idea has received national support, including a notable endorsement from
(46:22):
Senator Bernie Sanders. And you can hear the writer doing
a cuckoo sign with their do you guys hear those
tweety birds? You might be able to Actually an independent
from Vermont who was in California this week for rally,
Sanders spoke to supporters on Wednesday evening in Los Angeles,
ridiculing the grotesque level of wealth inequality that exists in
(46:43):
this country. Now they're doing the jack off hand motion
at that part. Meanwhile, a growing opposition campaign has also surfaced.
Several former and current tech executives, including Google co founder
Sergey Brinn and venture capitalist and owner of the San
Francisco Standard Michael Morritz, are helping bankroll Building a Better California,
(47:08):
a nonpartisan group that plans to fund various ballot measure campaigns,
including the wealth tax. But oh, you think it's just them,
try again, asshole, because Governor Gavin Newsom has also come
out in opposition to the tax, warning that the state
could lose those residents and by extension valuable tax dollars.
Speaker 2 (47:30):
That's interesting because I know they're trying to amend the
bill where they're like, guess what, asshole, even if you
left before this thing popped off, you're still on the hook.
So don't even think that's even a fucking tactic to
try and move the needle the other way. Like the
SEIU is the fucking union, Okay, that's telling people like,
(47:50):
hey man, we're the We're the Service Employees International Union,
you know, like fucking healthcare we do like, we do
the fucking work. We do this, We do the work
that keeps shit going. Not fucking guys who are you know,
trying to you know, really dial in the best parts
of an AI chatbot that will convince you like you're
(48:10):
a fucking chill guy who people want to talk to.
They're the ones saying, like, dude, we we need more
fucking funds to be able to pay for healthcare and
things like that. It's not some scare tactic.
Speaker 1 (48:23):
We need this in order to like keep hospitals open. Stuff.
Speaker 2 (48:27):
They're trying to scare people.
Speaker 1 (48:28):
That seems it's so set.
Speaker 3 (48:30):
I just don't buy that anyone is leaving, like just
save your money. Like I'm trying to tell us that
this will never work because no one is moving. We
know no one's moving.
Speaker 2 (48:44):
They did the same thing with Zorin you know, like
where they're like Zuran mom, Dannie is going all the
all the wealthy people are going to leave New York
and it's the same thing, like uh huh no they're not.
It's like I think this is probably one of those
things where you could also you know, the people are
like there's always tho Twitter accounts that post like history
of kids these days don't want to work, and they
show headlines from like centuries ago. It's I'm sure this
(49:06):
is the same paybook of like, well, we're going to
take our wealthy bucks and leave you guys all alone
to where's.
Speaker 1 (49:13):
My favorite coffee place? Starbucks wealthy bucks.
Speaker 3 (49:16):
Wealthy buck headline last week that was like Steven Spielberg
Comma multi millionaire, Comma is leaving California and it's like,
these are two separate things.
Speaker 1 (49:28):
What are you talking about? Going on vacation seen at
the airport fleeing this billionaire tax? Yeah, I mean also
rallying in opposition to the tax was a group of
twenty something pro Silicon Valley residents who organized a pro
billionaire rally in San Francisco this month, which was like
(49:49):
a couple dozen people and then a bunch of people
like gawking at no.
Speaker 2 (49:53):
It was like a dozen maybe yeah yeah, like and
it was true.
Speaker 1 (49:56):
The other people been like, oh this is for real.
We thought this was satire. Yeah yeah, jeez. I mean,
like god, every time I tell every.
Speaker 2 (50:07):
Like normal or I say normal, like every sort of
non and people that aren't into the news as much
as I know the listeners are, please start poisoning the
well for people thinking Gavin Newsom is a viable candidate
in twenty twenty eight, or if.
Speaker 1 (50:21):
I think he might have just done that himself.
Speaker 2 (50:24):
I don't know you, but there's still there's every headline
from like the Washington Post, The New York Times, the
LA Times completely avoids how much of an establishment democrat
Gavin Newsom is and just they want to focus on
his like Twitter shit talking to be like this guy
is different, and you're like, I'm sorry on Israel, on
(50:45):
affordable housing, on progressive taxes, on these on the unhoused,
he is not different at all, and he's actual different
worse than any other ways. Yeah, and it's they're gonna
fucking try and cram the shit down people's throw. But
it's like, no, dude, this guy is unless you're like Clovicular,
who's like, yeah, I've like I'm not even a Democrat.
(51:05):
But obviously if it's against like JD Vance and like
just like Chad Gavin Newsom, like that's where I'm at, Guys,
that's not the vote that you need to be chasing.
Speaker 1 (51:14):
Okay, Yeah, anyways, the person who organized the pro Silicon
Valley thing, like again, like you can you can tell
an astroturft campaign when you see one. You know, it's
like the fucking Tea Party guys all those years ago,
Like this is just being funded by billionaire.
Speaker 2 (51:32):
Look at the press, look at the press to protest ratio.
Speaker 1 (51:36):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (51:37):
Typically when a new group is out there doing something
and you get there's the press out numbers the actual
people participating, that's that can be not saying all the time,
because there are small movements that grow out of like
a few people, but like something as that stinks like shit,
like working people who want a cape for billionaires.
Speaker 3 (51:56):
Like yeah, cool, well yeah, just like think of how
many demonstrations of this size happen like literally every day
that are politically to the left, and no one ever
writes about them.
Speaker 1 (52:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (52:12):
No, one's actually that thing that you're always wondering, like
are other people like worried that? Like I feel like
the government isn't being ran properly and like it's making
life harder for me, and like shouldn't my tax dollars
be doing something to benefit me?
Speaker 1 (52:25):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (52:25):
Yeah, no, it's crazy, dude. You know somebody said that,
are you okay? Are you tweety birds right now? You
hear some tweety birds?
Speaker 1 (52:34):
Or are you Bernie Sanders? Are you Bernie Sanders? What?
Speaker 2 (52:37):
No, I'm your I'm your brother.
Speaker 1 (52:39):
I just don't know, yeh. Get your face a little
bit to.
Speaker 2 (52:42):
Me, like like Robin Williams and hook when he finally goes, oh,
there you are, Bernie.
Speaker 1 (52:51):
I got a haircut on Thursday and cut my hair
said said you're back after they come. I love that
and it gave me uh it gave me real uh
there you are? And yeah yeah yeah, oh you're back?
Was it?
Speaker 2 (53:08):
Was it like the reveal like after you've had your haircut,
looking at one last look in the mirror, like oh
and you're dy back, welcome back, welcome home, there you are.
Speaker 1 (53:17):
That's what Bradley Cooper also said to Lady Gaga when
he took off her makeup for the He said, go
go wipe that stuff off your face. Then she came
back to do the stars born thing. He said, there
you are.
Speaker 2 (53:31):
Wait is that from the movie or that's real?
Speaker 1 (53:33):
That's from the like behind the scenes lore of the
making making off. And I feel like I got Bradley
Cooper Lady Gaga a little bit.
Speaker 3 (53:43):
Yeah, yeah, it.
Speaker 1 (53:46):
Felt great. I walked out of there with a fucking
pet in myself.
Speaker 2 (53:50):
As you walk out the barbers and jerk off motion.
Speaker 1 (53:55):
This guy idiot?
Speaker 2 (53:57):
Yeah yeah, oh my god, what a fucking idiot.

on the dailies like geist, Where can people find you?
Follow you all that good stuff.
Speaker 3 (54:10):
I'm on all the social media, but most importantly check
out my YouTube, The Mary Willahant Show. I interview lefty comedians,
grassroots candidates and independent journalists and just try to combat
some media bias but make it funny and digestible. And
(54:34):
I want to go super viral. So if you guys
could please follow and share and all that kind of stuff,
I would love you. You have clovicular on, No, Unfortunately
I have some morals and I won't interview just anybody.
Speaker 2 (54:49):
Uh yeah, we got clovicular on later today.
Speaker 1 (54:52):
If you talk to clovicular my god.
Speaker 3 (54:55):
Yeah, these people sneakers audience.
Speaker 2 (55:00):
Yeah, No, it's crazy that they do. And it's odd
though too, Like how a significant portion are just hate
watchers too? Yes, oh, and I'm like that's also deeply unhealthy.
Speaker 3 (55:10):
I mean, that's exactly what happened in twenty sixteen, everyone
being like, get a load of Trump. It's so weird
he's running for president, nothing bad will happen for us
giving him attention to.
Speaker 2 (55:21):
Emperor you God, Emperor Trump.
Speaker 1 (55:24):
Amazing. Is there a work a media you've been enjoying?
Speaker 3 (55:28):
TikTok videos of people singing, singing what well? I saw
one of someone singing Open Arms by Journey the other
day and I was like, this is a good song.
I forgot.
Speaker 2 (55:43):
Was it just someone like just belting it out a
cappella to karaoke? Wow? I like when I like that,
that's your happy content. It's just like people just belting.
Speaker 3 (55:53):
It's like talented people and You're like.
Speaker 2 (55:55):
WHOA mine is just still so much dancing. The algorithms
like this person needs to see people dancing to feel good,
and I'm like, yes, yes.
Speaker 3 (56:05):
I like dancing bids too. I like line dancing.
Speaker 2 (56:08):
Oh okay, culture.
Speaker 1 (56:13):
Amazing miles Where can people find you? Is there a
workingmedia you've been enjoying?
Speaker 2 (56:18):
Yeah, you can find me everywhere at miles of Gray.
You can catch me talking about ninety dance on four
to twenty Day Fiance, and I'm talking about the English
Premier League and European soccer on Ain't It Footy with
Jamel Johnson and Chris Martin. Tune into that. It's a
good time. A working media, I like is It's more
(56:38):
like an entire account and it's one of it. Was
one of my favorite producers, Pete Rock Okay the move
who who you know who? Produced one of the greatest tracks.
They reminisce over You with cl Smooth and Pete Rock
has become such an old ass boomer in his takes
hope since oh it's the most disappointing shit. Pete Rock
(57:00):
is so gone. That's saying all kinds of wacky conspiracy theories.
But ever since, like AI slop videos have come out,
he posts so many earnestly, and it's all partially I mean,
I got so bummed out, and part of me is
like I need to actually keep an eye on this
just to know, like just to keep the pulse of
the people who think AI slop is real, because like
(57:21):
the latest one he posted was like some dude just
like digging a gigantic studio like in his backyard, or
like building a big pit that's like impossible. Guys like
using a shovel and it's like a time wapse and
you're like this would have to be done mechanically to
see this.
Speaker 1 (57:38):
Yeah, like this is uh they said Rome wasn't built
in a day, but look at this guy kind of yeah,
he's building some kind of pit.
Speaker 2 (57:48):
Okay, it keeps going. It's one man, he's bearing this,
there's grass that's going to be built over it. And
then wait to the reveal. So now he's down in
here doing all this framing and it becomes like this
fucking luxury Yeah it's and then he and Pete rock
just put yeah he did that, Pete Damn bro anyway,
(58:16):
so shield yourself from that. But I think for hip
hop veas if you if you haven't checked in on
Pete Rocky, it's uh, it's no see. Nobody's telling him
the truth either, and you can tell by what he's
supposed to do.
Speaker 1 (58:27):
You can find me on Twitter at Jack Underscore O,
Brian blue Sky, Jack ob the number one Instagram Jack Underscore,
Oh Underscore Brian uh Workmedia. I finally saw No Other Choice,
which is the Park champ Wook movie director of Old Boy,
decision to leave handmade, and one of the best directors
(58:47):
currently working. Got a new banger called No Other Choice,
which sounds like a John Claude Van Damn movie title
but is actually an amazing, dark comedy about modern capitalism
that I highly recommend people check out. I don't think
he got nominated for anything in the Academy Awards because.
Speaker 2 (59:08):
Well, I just didn't get what he was trying to say. Yeah,
this guy's prob Oh my gosh, your director, I think's
really that bad.
Speaker 1 (59:17):
But it's it's like you know, he's very different, but
it does have like kind of parasite energy, like he's
very different. No other choice. The premise is that a
guy gets fired and decides to start killing the people
who would be up for the job that he wants
(59:40):
so that they have no other choice. But then it
takes on many different meanings. It's a it's a really
good movie, all right.
Speaker 2 (59:48):
It sounds like story.
Speaker 1 (59:52):
That's right. You can't take me down. I wouldn't like
that for you. Well either.
Speaker 2 (01:00:03):
She tends to be an achiever.
Speaker 1 (01:00:05):
You can find us on Twitter and blue Sky at

You can go to the description of this episode wherever
you're listening to it, and there at the bottom you
will find the foot note, which is where we link
off to the information that we talked about in today's episode.
We also link off to a song that we think
you might enjoy. Miles, is there a song that you
think that people might enjoy?
Speaker 2 (01:00:25):
Yes. The new Baby Keme album came out last week
called Casino, and there's one track on it that I enjoy.
It's called I'm Not a Lyricist and I just like
it because it kind of it feels like he's channeling
Andre three thousand a little bit, just like with his flow.
And also you realize Baby Keem has like seven different
voices voices he uses to rap, and it's disorienting at times,
(01:00:48):
and I'm like, who's feature. Oh this is all Baby Keen. Okay,
that's range. So anyway, this track is.
Speaker 1 (01:00:54):
Called his own track.
Speaker 2 (01:00:55):
Yeah, it's called I Am Not a Lyricist, Baby Keem.
Check it out if you if you miss hearing Andre
three thousand adjacent rhyme schemes. I think this is something
that you'll just kind of enjoice to check it out.
Speaker 1 (01:01:06):
All right. We will link off to that in the footnotes.

Do you really interview Martin Screlly? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Oh shit, how to go?
Speaker 3 (00:12):
It was weird because okay, we had such mean questions,
but we warmed him up by being sweetie and there
I say flirty. Okay, So I thought as soon as
we started being mean that he would be like, oh
(00:32):
my god, I can't believe what. He just like never left.
It was almost like we had to tell him like, okay,
you have to leave now.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Really we're all dogs.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
They're messing with me because we're good friends.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
So I mean it worked kind.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Of that approach someone. I remember someone tweeted like a
fan of his very cool fad like she's ugly, and
he was like, lay off, guinely, you were going to
be friends.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
I guess wow that you were going steady.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Yes, he's like when you asked me about my cool
Wu Tang album, I thought.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
You meant it exactly. Well, that's how we got him
to agree. I said, like, that's so awesome. You know
you're hip hop stuff.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Oh no you did not. Oh oh god.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
So he was excited to talk.
Speaker 1 (01:33):

recognize game and giving you a bound.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
It was a production of iHeartRadio.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
It's a podcast we take a deep dive into American
shared consciousness through the day's news. We also have a
new non news history version of TDZ dropping each Monday morning,
where we do a deep dive into the zeitgeist through
the lens of a different icon. A couple of weeks
ago we did Tony Hawk. Last week we did Sherlock
Holmes with Andrew t and this week we got Tupac
(02:26):
with Molly our favorite California historian, Ali Lambert, Yeah, and
La in the building. Truly, we addressed the optical illusion
that it seems like he was alive for seventy eight
years and just the amount of work and news he created.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
It was all wild five year run, like fla year run.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Yeah. There are things that happened in his life in
like a three month span that I was like, Oh,
I thought that was like across a couple decades, but
obviously it couldn't have been. Nope. Anyways, those episodes drop
on Monday. They have icon in the title it's Tuesday,
February twenty fourth, twenty six.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Oh my gosh, that I forgot to pull that up
and I was going to pretend to stretch, but I'm
I'm owning it. It's actually it's a National Trading Card
Day and National Tortilla Chip Day.
Speaker 1 (03:18):

Speaker 2 (03:19):
Oh okay, I have those things.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
I have to tat card, I have to patulations. Yeah,
thank you, thank you, thank You're doing great.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Hey, I wish that Damon Stottamayer Rookie card was still
worth something though.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
They just said. I saw a trading card news story recently,
like the Honus Wagner. They like discovered a new mint
Honus Wagner that sold for like five million dollars or
some shit. And I remembered a time when like Honus
Wagner was like a religious like I didn't even know
(03:51):
who that was, but it was like borrowing that that
card was so goaded. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Well, now it's the illustrator's Pikachu card that one of
the Paul brothers was trying to sell and that became
like the most valuable trading card.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
But it's a bit dubious that title four million dollars
for real?
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Oh yeah, oh yeah, they.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Love the Poke mains most money I can conceive of, Miles.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
That's because we're poor, Jack, We're not billionaires.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
I know, I don't have that Lambeau mentality.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Nation.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
No, my name is Jack O'Brien aka Potatoes O'Brien, and
I'm thrilled to be joined as always by my co host,
mister Miles.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Gras Miles Gray aka the Lord of Lakers of the
Shogun with No gun Aka. And look that someone we've
got really excited about the Bad Bunny aka and just
wanted to hear it one more time. And you know what,
I'm not gonna. I'm not gonna I'm not gonna withhold that.
So this is the guy who just heard Bad Bunny
for the first time said, hey tt my bragun tosi
(04:53):
tango muchovachova tangoa manyana tra no eyebot. All right, thank
you to Locksmith, who's just saying, I just kind of
wonder to hear that again. It's fun saying speaking in
Spanish like a person who's just learning Spanish.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Like Blake Shelton. Yeah, exactly, Blake Shelton covering Bad Bunny,
the cover the mashup. We all knew that we needed. Yeah,
that's great, great fun. Miles. Hey, speaking of great fun,
we're through the phrase I use often. We're thrilled to
be joined in our third seed by very funny comedian
(05:31):
and writer who you've seen on Broad City, Billy on
the Street, the Chris Gethard Show. She's written for the
New Yorker McSweeney's Reductress, All the All the Funny Places,
has animated music videos for z Way just an all
around talent. Too many threats to count, they call people
triple threats, too many damn threats to count on this one.
(05:53):
God Mary, wha hell, Hey, guys, I got milk. It
in in the middle of shouting your name.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Drinking milk before the recording.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Let me just let me just house down some of
this whole milk before I say your name. Sorry I
stepped on you. You were saying happy what Yes?
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Yes, yes, big fans.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
Oh yeah of Chip for the record, okay, and also
the show, The Eric Etrata Show Chips.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Also keV doesn't include Chips. Weirdly, Yeah, for some reason.
The one cop that were given.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
A past, why were they given a pass?
Speaker 1 (06:44):
They're the most cop possible.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
That show is them never doing cop ship they're just
on bikes being like, yeah, dude, there.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Were skunks working it or works in it, where they're
just like being bad at being cops. And the only
way to be bad at being cops that's actually good
is like just sucking at your job and interfering with
other people.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Yeah, sure, sure yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Anyways, Mary, we're thrilled to have you back. We're gonna
get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First,
we're going to tell the listener a couple of things
that we're talking about today. We're gonna talk about just
the little information bubble that Donald Trump lives in. It's
one of the least adorable bubbles. I gotta say, Yeah,
it's kind of it's a shitty bubble. We'll talk about
(07:29):
misinformation coming out of this White House and Laura Lumer
about Mexico. We'll talk about a new controversial billionaire tax
where they're going to tax billionaires and it's controversial with billionaires,
Oh yes, with two hundred and fourteen people. But Mary,
(07:49):
before we get to any of that shit, we do
like to ask our guest, what is something from your
search history that's revealing about who you are?
Speaker 3 (07:56):
Oh my god, it's bad. Oh okay, Mike Huckabee says
Israel can take the entire Middle East. I just want
to make sure that's exactly what he said.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
So I looked at my biblical right.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
I think that is what he said. Yes, that the
Bible gives them the right for.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
That, so legally can take it, not like pro wrest
by back.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Down to Egypt. They can take it if they want.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
It's fair, right, Biblically yeah, Biblically yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
All they have to do is start a war then
it would be fair. That's what he said.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Start a war. And then you go, hey, why are
you doing that, and go, oh, a Bible I'm calling
Bible rights. Sorry, the Rule Book of Ghost Stories says
this is mine and all double Bible writes no back seas.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
You actually have to give it to me. Now, I
think I think he didn't.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
You have to clarify, because pretty much the rest of
the world was like, are you fucking out of your mind?
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Dude?
Speaker 2 (08:54):
What the fuck are you talking about? He said it
was taken out of context.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
Oh my god, it's not what I was saying.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
You said Israel had the biblical right to the entire
Middle East, Dude, what do you mean, Yeah, he said
it would be I don't know, I don't know why
what he means that it was taken out of context.
It's hard to know what in what context that it's
I was lying.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
It's bull like a nonsense saying that people use. It
doesn't really mean anything.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Yeah, because again, like people are mad at me, and
so I'm gonna say it's taken out of context? What
context of my entire life?
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Yeah, the context of who I am, and again offers
no actual context in which it made any kind of
sense or wasn't offensive or homicidal. But then also Mike
Huckabee is one of those like it starts bring bring
Jesus back by having war, an Israel guy, so it
makes sense coming from.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
Him, which makes sense, you know, because he's pro life
and wants everyone.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Yeah, but that's different. If you lose life sense of
bringing Christ back, then we're all going to be together
and have it anyway.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
So that's right.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
Yeah, a couple of broken eggs.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Yeah, exactly, a couple of billion broken bodies.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
It's so weird for me to like hear this stuff
coming out of Mike Huckabee because like I first knew
him as just a musician that I really like the Yeah,
Michael Huckaby the bass the bass player. Yeah, that's my guy.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
You remember when he had the bass player from corn
On and when he had his talk show and they
were jamming together and it was the saddest, fucking just
thing I've ever seen.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
But anyway, oh yeah, Catherine points out, don't don't check
out their his collaboration with us, with our company. iHeart Huckaby's.
That's terrible, catrine. I'm sorry, I'm sorry for giving you credit. Yeah,
but uh, what is Mary something that you think is underrated?
Speaker 3 (10:59):
Okay? I have I have two? Which one do you
think is better?
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Let's hear them both?
Speaker 3 (11:04):
The PBS Passport app or Nascar.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Okay, cool? We I think we've gotten the PBS Passport
app before, or at least I have in my life.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
I mean, everyone knows it's good. It doesn't take much.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Yeah wait, wait what is it?
Speaker 1 (11:22):
What are you talking with on the PBS passport Wait?
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Hold on, yeah, I don't know what what is the
PBS Passport app.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
Oh it's like they're streaming app.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Okay, Oh I have like the kid version of that.
Oh yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
So I mostly watch Finding Your Roots, Nova Nature, any
of the ken Burnstocks.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Yeah, just you have global access to ken Burns documentary.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Yeah, I mean.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Come on, that happens so much. There's so many times
when I'm like, but surely you can get them somewhere else, right, right,
Like with ken Burns documentaries. What was it for for
the Elvis Icons episode? I was wanted to watch an
episode about the country music ken Burns presents Country Music.
(12:09):
You gotta go to you gotta go to PBS, you
gotta go to the source.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
I remember when like the Civil War came out. I
was like, the only sound of the Civil War is
someone playing a fiddle with someone.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Reading the letter? Yeah, someone reading and a fiddle in
the background.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
I'm like, and that was the anti Bedllum period, you know,
and during the Civil War.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
I remember when the Civil War dropped? Yes? Was that
also dope?
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Like? Was that also like a like ultimate boomer dad gift?
Was any ken Burns like ten tape fucking set? I
remember like the baseball one required purchases for fathers, like
white American fathers on Father's Day. That's right, And here
is your ken Burns.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
Baseball Baseball with the side of Mike Lupka.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Okay, so what tell me about NASCAR though, Okay.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Well, yeah, this is new. I don't think we've gotten
an under.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
Anything about NASCAR until yesterday. My friend posted on his
instant story that he was watching NASCAR and to come
through and so and so I went, and all the
people there were from the South, and they were teaching
me about NASCAR, and it's almost like wrestling, Like the
(13:30):
drivers have personality. Some of them are super racist, some
of them are super woke, and there's good guys.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
I didn't know about that second category of NASCAR, be
honest with.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Oh, Michael Jordan owns a bunch of cars.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Did you know that? This is something that we recently
found out about, unfortunately, because of a video clip of
him celebrating his Daytona five hundred win by pinching the butt,
grabbing the butt, treating the butt of a of the
you know, young child of the winning driver like it
(14:07):
was a Napkins dispenser.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
Yeah, well, no comment.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
We were like, oh, ship, Michael's doing it, and we're like,
what are you doing? Michael Jordan's you're drunk.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
Yeah, So there were just a ton of cutaways to
Michael Jordan during NASCAR and that's like just not what
I thought NASCAR was And it was pretty interesting.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Nice.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Were you confused why? During the cutaways they were like
and there's Michael Jordan very far from grabbing any child's butt,
like a.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
Yeah, that's what the lower bird said. It said not
currently touching the child's but also the owner and thirty five.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Yeah, all right, here we go, because I do need
to get your take on this. It's just hard. No, yeah,
that's it, you can't. Yeah, what do we think he
thought he was doing? Is like really the question that
we're at now. So speculated that there was ice down
the kid's back maybe, but it's like even that is
(15:09):
hard to believe based. Yeah, it's very strange.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
I think the only answer to that is.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
It's definitely yeah. Unfortunately, Yes, it's gonna be a note
for me. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Wait, so did you come away after that like with
now you like you you've learned a little bit. Now
you've got a team or a driver or an aspect
of NASCAR that like appeals to you now, or you're
just more like that was a nice experience.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
Thank you for that, rooting for all of Michael Jordan's cars.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Basically he has multiple cars.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
Yep, yep. He has three cars. One of them is
a black driver. One of them is a white short
king with a beautiful black wife.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
The third car I don't know about because they came in.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
It's a last like the beginning of a Joe, like
a black nasscar driver, a short NASCAR driver, and a
priest walking.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
To a bar. He got used on that epsteam list
like seventeen times, which isn't that many. Yeah, I guess
not the way compared to the president. He set the
bar so high, you know. That is one thing that
we can say about this president. The thing for me
about NASCAR is when you're watching it, there's not I mean,
(16:28):
it's kind of like almost almost all the time, it's
like watching a blowout NBA game or something where it's
just like it's there's never that moment of like huge
drama where it's like it all comes down to this
moment like a close race. It's still you know, like
I guess there are close races, but they're not pretty ended.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
The NBA is actually such a perfect analogy because it's
kind of like you can half watch and then the
final two minutes, You're like, oh my.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
God, go all right, Maybe I need to give it
another shot.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Maybe I just need to start watching the last three
laps of NASCAR. Yes.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
Oh, and also something I learned is some of the drivers,
if they win, their sponsors will give out free chicken nuggets.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Oh so depending on which fast food chain you're aligned with.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
Yes, so there was a Wendy's car yesterday and if
he had won, Wendy's would have given out free chicken
tenders today.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Oh damn.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
And I heard that in the past. Sometimes drivers get
really emotional and cry and say, you know that they
wish that they could have given everyone free chickens.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
I mean, given the state of this economy, I would
imagine that it's like like, I'm sorry, we weren't able
to distribute food to people.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Children going hungry because of your loss. How does that
make you feel?
Speaker 2 (17:59):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (17:59):
God, quick word, can't.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
That be on someone else? I mean, yeah, we could
talk about the government, or like all the gardens drive
it a little harder.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Yeah, what is something Mary, you think is overrated?
Speaker 3 (18:12):
Okay? So I had trouble picking one. If I get
any pushback, I'm going to immediately say that.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
I was thinking of.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
I think Sabrina Carpenter is overrated. Go on, she's she's good,
but whatever, I feel that.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Yeah, I was just talking. I was I was doing
my first gym session with my trainer, gym session. Telephone
came the Gaga Beyonce collab came on and we were
both saying, I was like, when was the last time
pop stars bridged the gap like this, you know a
way that was like Joe, the two of them, and
(18:57):
we brought up Sabrina Carpenter doing people or other pops
and like, is this not the same. It's just not
the same. And I'm and I'm sure it's generational too,
because I see I feel like I see so many
younger people in like are getting an aesthetic inspiration from
Sabrina Carpenter. I feel like I see a lot of
Sabrina Carpenter that the vibe coming out and how people
dress and stuff.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
But Miles is looking at me right now, that's the same.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Yeah, Jah, Well people haven't seen you with that blonde wiglaw, Yeah,
because no, it's convincing.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
It's it's volo rosy cheeks. A lot of rosy cheeks
going around out there in the World of Puck.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
Oh, everyone loves them. I think I'm just kind of
bored by pop stars in general, even the ones that
people like. I think I would like musicians to be
more like Larussell, where they just talk all the time
about how much everything costs right, and have shows in
their backyard. I would like pop stars to be more
(19:54):
damn to Earth.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Yeah, it's so cool to see Larussell like really blow
up too, because I just remember early on, I was
just watching TikTok videos of all those backyard concerts and
I was like, Okay, I like whatever this is, and.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
Now it's so wholesome.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Yeah, yeah, we need more regular people. Yeah, because I
just love that's my favorite line. Espresso. It's like I'm
working late because I'm a singer, and.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
I'm like, hell, yeah, yeah you know what.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Yeah, you're working like because you're a singer.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
We've all been there.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
Yeah man, yeah, shoe Joe, Yeah, I go shoot Joe.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
My girlfriend Sabrina's isn't off work yet. She's a singer.
Oh okay, like she's not off work. Oh my gosh.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
Yeah that's something your friend says and you're like, oh
my god, they're totally cheating on them.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
Oh no, yeah, they're working like because they're a singer.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
Oh it's crazy, like they're either cheating or they made
that person up, Like.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Yeah, right, this is this is the third birthday party
in a row for you. They haven't been at I
know there, singer, what are you gonna do? All right?
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Life on the road.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
It's crazy, man, it's so expensive. Man, I'm like half
supporting her career. Other than venmost of it's crazy, guys.
I didn't know hair extensions were so expensive.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
So Sabrina Carpenter overrated. And if the and if you
if that away, that was taking someone else, You're going
taken out of contact full somebody else full armadillo take.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
I will go into my protective armor and roll back
into the bushes and I.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
Won't protect you, but Martin Screelly might come through and
so leave married you know who does have my back?
Leave Mary out of this right Yeah. Music takes our
surprisingly very controversial. We still having such a weird long
tail on this thing. From our two thousand episode, we
(22:06):
went back and talked about Quincy Jones talking about the Beatles,
and we lifted a clip from that for social and
it has going off it's fred is crazy.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
All you have to do is tell some like middle
aged white dudes the Beatles weren't that popping and it's
fucking like red alert time in the sure.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
Well, that was a great interview. He said, like basically
none of them could play instruments.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
In general, and we all heard that Ringo couldn't play. Yeah, Paul,
he could, he could. It's like, right, relaxed. It's funny
because it's Quincy Jones just saying a bunch of wild
stuff and cash shit.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
It's not asserting that your sacred Beatles were a bunch
of non plane motherfuckers. As he said, No'm playing motherfuckers.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
Such a good yeah, exactly, Like I don't care if
the stuff Cut Williams says about Kevin Hart is true
or not. I like it.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
It's funny to hear. I'm not taking that as gospel truth.
It's called funny things to hear.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Uh shit, all right, let's take a quick break. We'll
come back, we'll talk about some news. We'll be right back,
and we're back. We're back, and this Trump administration, uh huh,
(23:33):
I'm gonna get us all killed.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
Baby, It's it's terrifying, you know, we really we touched
on just the like the sinility of it all constantly,
Like when last week he was Yeah, it was last
week when he said, like and this man said, President,
I want to kiss you, and you're like, what the fuck?
Why is that even a thing to say? It's like, oh,
of course, because your brain circuitry is completely.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
Sat strong Man Steel Magnate.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
Yeah, and he's going Biden mode.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
I feel like maybe rhetorically that's what needs to be said.
So like MAGA, people starting out more like, dude, this
guy looks like Biden.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
Yeah, fuck, dude, he's Biden maxing.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
Dude, you're getting sanility mogged right now by Biden maxing.
But yeah, just do The cortisol spikes are fucking humiliating anyway.
So I think, you know, we we've obviously positive, as
many people have many times, that he's in an alternate reality,
and not just due to like the cognitive decline or
like the acute narcissism, but also because he's more than
(24:41):
likely it's almost it's it is actually guaranteed that he
is being shielded from the truth by his aides who
don't who as a way of like personality management, because
like look, we see it all the time. There's like
the regular sycophant boot licking meetings that we'll talk about
where just like everyone sits at a table and it's
like show and tell of sycophants.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
Being Yeah, the telephone, the televised ones where they're like
and sir, I have created this cheer for you, and
I've brought in the Alabama roll Tide Marching band to
like they just all like have prepared remarks about how
he is.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
This is a scroll on papyrus where I have listed
all of your many great achievements, sir.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
Overwritten the Dead Sea scrolls.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
Yeah, whited it all out, but like we see that, right,
And like there's the cancelations of public appearances, like he
didn't want to go to the super Bowl, but it
was like I was too tired. But really they were saying,
it's like no, because he's gonna get booed, and like
we don't like he's he doesn't he doesn't fiddle that well.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
There's are little pin pricks to the outside world, like
you can't you can't let Truman out to do a
walk about after you know from the Truman Show. You
got to keep him in his bubble exactly.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
And also like the polling he always talks about like that,
Like we see the polls and they're like, yeah, yeah,
people are not really into this. But he's like they
all the polls always wrong. I've seen the real polls,
and you're like, what what do you mean? It's sure
someone's writing shit down and telling you that's a poll.
I'm pretty sure that's what it is. So like now
I'm just sort of like, this is putting at increasing
(26:19):
risk for something truly catastrophic to happen based on whatever
alter Like obviously with all the dangers he presents already,
that to add to that fake information to create a
worldview where he's actually more powerful or more potent than
he actually is, or has more support for something than
he actually does, I'm like, it's it's getting worse and worse,
especially as we hear about Iran. And he was just
(26:41):
speaking at an event on Monday, and it's even clear
that he's being showed being shown alternate numbers all the time.
So like he talked about the economy and like the
thing that he said he could fix but that was
never gonna happen. He loves to again claim that this
is like, there's nothing to see here. This is actually,
see the greatest economy anyone has ever seen.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
Right, look at the stock market, Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
The Dow is fifty out, Like, oh god, that's all
because that's what he needs to hear. So here's here's
just a clip of him again asserting that the economy
where by all you know, measurable all measurable data, it
seems to indicate this is not a great economy for
working people.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
I feel by the way this does feel like he
this speech is when a comedian is going to like
do a big event or like host the Oscars and
they like go out on the road to like, you know,
test material and test for the State of the Union. Yeah,
this feels like he's just doing State of the Union shit,
like to be like, how's this going to go over?
What do people think? Am I getting? Are the laughs
(27:43):
at the right place?
Speaker 2 (27:44):
I mean, yeah, it's a joke in that you're saying
the economy is good, right, It's a setup and punchline
in of itself. But yeah, we have the greatest economy ever.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
Apparently we have a country that's now doing well.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
We have the greatest economy we've ever had.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
We have the most activity we've ever I'm making a
speech tomorrow night, and.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
You'll be hearing me say that.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
I mean, it's it's going to be a long speech
because we have so much to talk about.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
Oh, he seems quite crazy by that.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
What a tease by the way he almost fell asleep.
But well saying when did he had a speech coming up?
Speaker 2 (28:16):
I'm understanding that this is what it is, you know,
apparently okay, So then then this is also very interesting,
right is like the polling. There's the latest polling that
was just even shown on CNN. I was showing how
he went from forty one percent approval with Latinos in
February of last year to now twenty two percent, forty
(28:39):
five percent approval with voters under forty five in February
of last year to now twenty seven percent, forty one
percent of independence approved a year ago to now twenty
six percent.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
It's those are I'm no political expert, Miles, you know
that those numbers are bad.
Speaker 3 (28:57):
They see person. Yeah again, expert.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
I wouldn't want that. I know podcast numbers and if
if if my downloads were going, I'd be like, oh,
something something's different there.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
Half yeah, yeah, half seas on those numbers.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Yeah yeah, right. And again this is at the same
event talking that extra special shit about how you know
what the polls say this, But I've actually seen something different,
and I'm sure he literally has been shown something different.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
Polls are tough, you know, when you get a fake
poll I get him today.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
I saw one today that I'm at forty I'm not
a forty percent, much.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
Higher twenty six.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
I mean, I'd love to run against the real pole
say you kill everybody, wouldn't even be close. But I
believe that right the real the real polls say like that,
they're showing like, sir, those are all wrong. Look at
these You're locked in and they're like, fuck, how do
we fuck the rat fuck the election to make this happen,
(29:59):
because it happening electorally or through any kind of democratic process.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
I hope he believes that so that he doesn't break.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
The election, like you know, well he's going they know
they have to, you know what I mean, Like, even
if he doesn't, but I'm sure this is part of
him being like dude, if he really gets he's gonna
start lashing out at everyone. We've already have all this
all these messages. We have to clean up barely keeping
this fucking circus together. But again, it's like, if he's
being shown things that are saying, dude, you're not as
(30:31):
wildly unpopular as you are. No need to change course.
The economy that you said you'd fix is actually looking
worse and worse and worse. The amount of debt that
is being added is catastrophic. Then I'm like, then what
are they telling him about Iran right now? You know,
as like we're seeing all this like build up and
rhetorical you know, sort of setting of the table to
(30:52):
try and manufacture consent for some kind of armed conflict
over there.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
I think I can get them to do whatever they want. Yeah,
I think I think that, like AI video of him
winning gold for the US team was probably something they
actually shut up to. Sarah, you blacked out again, and
uh check it out. Look what you did.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
Oh, that's that's crazy. So the referees also have sticks
and have a puck while I play. Yeah, Yeah, that's
that's how good you are.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
Man.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
The refs had to get in there against you also
had their own buck.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
Did that ship on some people? Again? No, sir, it's
a matter of speaking you did. Yeah, yeah, yeah, here
stick work. Look at Canadians are scared ork of determination.
But yeah, just like even I think everything we could
just get just even darker and darker and darker as
you have things like again at Epstein scandal, that they're
(31:45):
trying so hard to just put their heads in the
ground and act like isn't there to now whatever they
think they're going to get some kind of like wartime
bump in approvals, like some common George Bush like, and
I'm like, god, this is a completely different era, Like
people are fully soured on like military intervention abroad for
(32:06):
no fucking reason, so that you think this is people
are going to start and be like, oh, thank god,
We're going to Iran for no reason and more people
can die for.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
No fucking reason. Mm hmm. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
Also, was Georgia Bush's popularity Like I feel like it
was really strong in the aftermath of nine to eleven
and then he went to Iraq and it started taking
a ship right like once it was became clear that
like the whole thing was a lie, and you know,
like right, I feel like that. I don't know, maybe
(32:37):
those numbers aren't reaching Trump, but like I'm pretty sure
that that was in the end not good for his popularity, right,
because yeah, nobody really thought. I think people got on
board in the run up because they thought it was
going to be like the first one. But right, yeah,
nobody thinks that.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
It was just getting it up to because I think
before the invasion it got up to like sixty four
percent and then approval, yeah, like it was going up.
They saw us going up with the saber rattling. Yeah yeah,
and they're like, oh, yeah, yeah, so we're gonna do
a little bit of that. But again, the problems like
that was that was those are that was like an
(33:18):
era of relative peace for Americans, and the context is
completely different, especially now when you have things like the
economy crushing people and being like what the fuck, Like
I'm getting priced out of milk. That if you're not
addressing those things and thinking merely, people go, I don't
need food or a job. I need to feel good
that we're gonna bomb Iran, Like.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
My favorite NASCAR racer is probably gonna win. I don't
need food, right, you know, right exactly, Get free nuggies.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
Get dude, dude, I'm sitting pretty with these ten ds man.
But yeah, and I think this goes to show like
that the absolute clowns are in this cabinet now and
have no idea how anything goes, and it's just sort
of like, well, we know we can at least get
the wartimes, we get the military industrial like machine humming again,
and those people get money, and we'll just invest in
(34:05):
that and just kind of keep moving our money around
until we walk out of here with money so big
we can hide forever.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
Yeah, it's generally not good when people aren't telling you
the truth and you're not working with actual information, and like, seriously,
what people are. Everybody else extremely.
Speaker 3 (34:22):
Kissed about the Epstein files, Like it cannot be overstated.
Regular people left and right, everyone, I'm so angry about this.
They're going to lose their minds if we bomb Iran.
Speaker 2 (34:36):
A fucking twenty one year old MAGA supporter pulled up
Tomara Lago armed and got killed by the Secret Service
because of the fucking Epstein files. Yeah, like, there are
such huge, fucking issues that have to be addressed, And
again this just goes to show like the people who
are running things have just such a perverse understanding or
(34:58):
intentional misunderstanding of how it all works works to be
like no, man, line goes up. We get our money,
we get out, and if we have more money, we
can protect ourselves from poor people with violence. And that's yeah.
Speaker 3 (35:09):
I think they just truly don't get it, because like,
when do these people interact with like poor middle class
people ever?
Speaker 2 (35:16):
No, I've always said, they're like, we're.
Speaker 3 (35:18):
Helping our friends make money, Like we're a good guy.
Speaker 2 (35:21):
What's going Why are you.
Speaker 3 (35:22):
Mad at us?
Speaker 1 (35:23):
I can't release the files. Some of my very good
friends are going to get hurt with his explanation anxiety MTG.
That's what he told her. Right of my very good
friends are in there. Did he not know? He was like,
I'm just like, is that one of the pieces of
information that they were withholding from him? That he was
(35:45):
also I don't know?
Speaker 2 (35:46):
I mean because the way again, because you also hear
it in his rhetoric around the Epsteine Filez. He goes like,
I've been told I've been totally exonerated. He's always I've
been told yes, and you're like, and I believe it.
And because you know, they're not gonna be like sir
man all over this ship man, like.
Speaker 1 (36:01):
What the was going on? Looks bad?
Speaker 2 (36:04):
You need to.
Speaker 3 (36:07):
Is fine, he's living somewhere. Delane is fine. They got
a body double in prison. I'll be fine too. Yeah,
chill out, everybody.
Speaker 2 (36:16):
Oh my god, have you heard yourself?
Speaker 1 (36:19):
It was that that was the first one where it
was like, oh, he's like not getting any informant. Like
he was literally like where why don't people just move on?
Like ye, we're all moving on And if you ask
questions about that, you're actually not my friend anymore. Yeah,
Like that was literally like that into Yeah, that's the
(36:40):
energy he run into the epsteam files months and months ago.
Speaker 2 (36:46):
Person, if you keep talking about it, you're definitely not
a Republican and you're like okay, and you're not coming
to my birthday party either. Not with that, keep that up.
Speaker 1 (36:54):
It really, but yeah, it does remind you of like
the end of Downfall, like that meme that has been
so popular for so long, of like when they finally
come clean with Hitler and or like.
Speaker 2 (37:05):
So surrounding Berlin.
Speaker 1 (37:06):
Yeah, that they're losing the war and they just like
haven't told him to that point because everyone's so scared
of him, and so they like tell him and he
just like flips out. Like that's kind of what you
hear about, like how Trump reacts when things go badly.
Speaker 2 (37:21):
Yeah, because that whole thing too is like in the
in that scene, right, he believes there's a whole other
army regiment coming to support the defense of Berlin, and
they're like, uh, Steiner's not gonna make it here with
his men. And it's like, so we're cooked, bro, Like
(37:41):
we're cooked. Yeah, it's uh, you can only imagine, you
can only imagine. And then like you know, Pete Heigsth
is now saying shit like, oh, we're gonna be ordering pizzas,
like all kinds of ways to throw you guys off
from the pizza tracker at the Pentagon.
Speaker 1 (37:55):
Oh good, So he's he's invested in Calshi. Yeah, right, exactly,
he gets that. That's how we want to follow stories. Now, Yeah,
will they will?
Speaker 2 (38:06):
Will people die needlessly based on the amount of pizzas
being ordered? Please tell me? Please tell me.
Speaker 1 (38:12):
All right, let's talk Mexico, because big things are happening
over the weekend. On Sunday, Almansho, leader of the Hallisco
New Generation cartel, was killed in a military operation conducted
by the Mexican government with help from the US government.
Speaker 2 (38:30):
Intelligence Wise that's I think a lot of people will
have you thinking that it's like the US did that shit.
It's like, yeah, they were probably like here's something they.
Speaker 1 (38:38):
Used the Havana syndrome weapon to give everybody knows please.
Speaker 2 (38:43):
Yeah, everybody got a Havana syndrome gun down there and
they used it. But yeah, it was like it's just
the subsequent power vacuum caused all kinds of panic. Cartel
members are rioting, setting fire to cars, gas stations, buildings,
Like a prosecutor got killed, like some of his like
henchmen were also killed, and they operate the mission, I
(39:05):
don't know, the hate job whatever whatever it's called when
the state takes your life and you know the video reaction,
military action, military action. Yeah, the videos were.
Speaker 1 (39:17):
It becomes it becomes like such just like defint like
uniquely spaceds.
Speaker 2 (39:23):
When the government put a hit out, like if the
government is also a gang, they put a hit out
and then their their goons clapped them. But yeah, so
like the videos are all over I mean like all
over the internet, which just ship on fire, people running
like in just like there's like so much chaos happening
in airports and but then there are people be like,
there's gunmen in the airports. And when I say people,
(39:46):
people most likely looking at Laura Lomer's fucking Twitter account,
where somehow hurt proxy because she has a fucking Pentagon
press pass. Now, yes, that it gives an air of
legitimacy to the non sense that she tweets when, especially
when she's like the US has helped conduct this operation
d DA.
Speaker 1 (40:05):
But again, Ruli, who handcuffed herself to the Twitter headquarters
when she thought she was being shadowed ban Yes, yes,
years ago alert and then last year during the election,
was like kind of.
Speaker 2 (40:17):
People thought they were having an affair.
Speaker 1 (40:19):
Like people thought they were having an affair. She was
spending a lot of time with Trump.
Speaker 2 (40:23):
I think she based on his memory. She was probably
just trying to remind him constantly that she existed, Right, yeah, yeah,
they're like, no, it's like people think it's an affair.
He's so senile. It's like you need affair levels of
interaction to stay in his mind. But yeah, she said again,
tourists were being taken hostage, like out of their hotels
by armed gunman. Planes were on fire, just sensational nonsense.
(40:45):
And it got to the point where the Mexican Embassy
had to put a direct like a statement out to
directly address her lies. They're saying, like, it's false that
attacks against civilians took place at the Guadalajara Airport. It's
false that attacks were carried out against the general population
in Jalisco. It's false that members of organized crime were
holding US tourist hostage. There's a fake photograph of a
(41:06):
plane on fire in Guadalharla that was using Guadalahara that
was used. False that government took over the facilities of
the Guadalahara Airport. It's false that the US military personnel
participated in the arrest of Elmento in Mexico. So again,
this is like sort of nothing, nothing could have gone
wrong when you kick out actual journalists from the Primate
Pentagon and you give it to these like weird grifters online.
Speaker 1 (41:28):
Whose online shit posters.
Speaker 2 (41:30):
Yeah, for sure. And I think saying this shit obviously
serves two purposes. The first that it helps like paint
Trump as a strong man, you know, because let's be real,
he was basically this happened because he was demanding Mexico
do something about the cartels or else I'm gonna fucking
it conduct military operations in your country. And second, it
(41:54):
helps keep the perception that Mexico is a very bad
place and by comparison, America is actually great. Please stop
reading the news about how it's not that's those are lies.
Look at the look at the three video clips of
a gas station on fire, and you don't need news.
Speaker 1 (42:11):
Just watch Cicario. That's all. That's all the news.
Speaker 2 (42:13):
Yeah, the documentary Cicario. And I think that second sort
of benefit was what like Utah editor Mike Lee clearly
thought he was doing because he posted a like CCTV
camera of these guys, these mask guys, setting a gas
station on fire, and he posted cartel hitmen wear masks.
(42:34):
Leftists aren't complaining.
Speaker 1 (42:37):
Damn, that's actually uh fuck, I don't think I can
oppose Ice anymore. Yeah, he did get my ass on
that one, because the bad guys wear masks.
Speaker 3 (42:49):
Yeah, cartels and let them disappointment.
Speaker 2 (42:56):
Show yourselves, cowards, what are you hiding from the.
Speaker 3 (43:00):
Then go away? Okay cartel?
Speaker 2 (43:02):
Yeah exactly are those ninety five? Oh my god? Okay,
but you know, like this, like everyone, even Chuck Schumer,
like people were just phoning him on Twitter when Chuck
Schumer is even getting you. It said, yes, cartel hit
men wear masks, that's why I shouldn't, and everyone just
started like hopping on it.
Speaker 3 (43:22):
He and that's actually not why. That's not the logic.
You mean those are two things.
Speaker 2 (43:29):
Yeah. Christopher Murphy from Kinetic said, oh, dear Mike, I
literally couldn't make our argument better than you do. The
bad guys wear masks, the good guys don't. And you're like, well,
all right, I mean, I guess.
Speaker 1 (43:42):
You're actually just learning that cartel hit men wear masks,
and that is why I shouldn't like what.
Speaker 3 (43:49):
The cartels in many ways.
Speaker 1 (43:52):
So yeah, that that tweet went bye bye pretty quickly.
But Mike, yeah, yeah, that's.
Speaker 2 (43:58):
Because that's from his personal account based Mike Lee. It's
not his like official Senator Lee account, it's his other
one that he should posts from. Wait really yeah yeah
it's yeah based, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's where we post from. Yep, yep, yep.
Speaker 1 (44:13):
Anyway, because yeah, you got old old dudes thinking their.
Speaker 2 (44:17):
Twenty three year old ship posters and like, yeah, doing
based Mike Lee. It's like, dude, you're just get the
fuck out of here.
Speaker 1 (44:23):
Yeah, is this based? Can I get can I get
a feedback from the interns if this is based this
is living.
Speaker 2 (44:31):
On based frog meme. Cool, No, all right, all right, all.
Speaker 1 (44:36):
Right, lett's take a quick break and we'll be right back.
And we're back, and there's uh I just I just
want to read this headline from sf gate. Pro billionaire
(44:57):
tax campaign warns of hospital shutting down in first tv ad,
and then they also call it a controversial in the
In the early part of the article, they call it
a controversial pro billionaire or billionaire tax, which is I
keep seeing it referred to as such.
Speaker 2 (45:15):
God, don't look at who owns those outlets.
Speaker 1 (45:18):
Right.
Speaker 3 (45:19):
The whole thing that they always say is like, well,
all the billionaires are going to move, and it's like
not really, California is kind of sick. Why would they move?
Speaker 1 (45:28):
Ye?
Speaker 3 (45:30):
What do you mean?
Speaker 2 (45:30):
I mean, there was like we'll go to Florida. We'll
go to Florida, all right.
Speaker 3 (45:33):
Gol yeah, right.
Speaker 1 (45:35):
Their first sentence here is the Labor Union, pushing forward
the highly controversial billionaires wealth tax, is launching its first
TV AD during the Olympics this weekend. S f Gate
has learned, first of all, great scoop, they're running an ad,
but we watched a commercial, but yeah, I was, this
seems like a political winner to me on the level
(45:59):
that the the democratic mainstream Democratic Party could not possibly
get behind it because it's just like so obviously going
to be very popular. So I was like, where we
getting this highly controversial element of this bill front. So
at the very end of the article, they say the
idea has received national support, including a notable endorsement from
(46:22):
Senator Bernie Sanders. And you can hear the writer doing
a cuckoo sign with their do you guys hear those
tweety birds? You might be able to Actually an independent
from Vermont who was in California this week for rally,
Sanders spoke to supporters on Wednesday evening in Los Angeles,
ridiculing the grotesque level of wealth inequality that exists in
(46:43):
this country. Now they're doing the jack off hand motion
at that part. Meanwhile, a growing opposition campaign has also surfaced.
Several former and current tech executives, including Google co founder
Sergey Brinn and venture capitalist and owner of the San
Francisco Standard Michael Morritz, are helping bankroll Building a Better California,
(47:08):
a nonpartisan group that plans to fund various ballot measure campaigns,
including the wealth tax. But oh, you think it's just them,
try again, asshole, because Governor Gavin Newsom has also come
out in opposition to the tax, warning that the state
could lose those residents and by extension valuable tax dollars.
Speaker 2 (47:30):
That's interesting because I know they're trying to amend the
bill where they're like, guess what, asshole, even if you
left before this thing popped off, you're still on the hook.
So don't even think that's even a fucking tactic to
try and move the needle the other way. Like the
SEIU is the fucking union, Okay, that's telling people like,
(47:50):
hey man, we're the We're the Service Employees International Union,
you know, like fucking healthcare we do like, we do
the fucking work. We do this, We do the work
that keeps shit going. Not fucking guys who are you know,
trying to you know, really dial in the best parts
of an AI chatbot that will convince you like you're
(48:10):
a fucking chill guy who people want to talk to.
They're the ones saying, like, dude, we we need more
fucking funds to be able to pay for healthcare and
things like that. It's not some scare tactic.
Speaker 1 (48:23):
We need this in order to like keep hospitals open. Stuff.
Speaker 2 (48:27):
They're trying to scare people.
Speaker 1 (48:28):
That seems it's so set.
Speaker 3 (48:30):
I just don't buy that anyone is leaving, like just
save your money. Like I'm trying to tell us that
this will never work because no one is moving. We
know no one's moving.
Speaker 2 (48:44):
They did the same thing with Zorin you know, like
where they're like Zuran mom, Dannie is going all the
all the wealthy people are going to leave New York
and it's the same thing, like uh huh no they're not.
It's like I think this is probably one of those
things where you could also you know, the people are
like there's always tho Twitter accounts that post like history
of kids these days don't want to work, and they
show headlines from like centuries ago. It's I'm sure this
(49:06):
is the same paybook of like, well, we're going to
take our wealthy bucks and leave you guys all alone
to where's.
Speaker 1 (49:13):
My favorite coffee place? Starbucks wealthy bucks.
Speaker 3 (49:16):
Wealthy buck headline last week that was like Steven Spielberg
Comma multi millionaire, Comma is leaving California and it's like,
these are two separate things.
Speaker 1 (49:28):
What are you talking about? Going on vacation seen at
the airport fleeing this billionaire tax? Yeah, I mean also
rallying in opposition to the tax was a group of
twenty something pro Silicon Valley residents who organized a pro
billionaire rally in San Francisco this month, which was like
(49:49):
a couple dozen people and then a bunch of people
like gawking at no.
Speaker 2 (49:53):
It was like a dozen maybe yeah yeah, like and
it was true.
Speaker 1 (49:56):
The other people been like, oh this is for real.
We thought this was satire. Yeah yeah, jeez. I mean,
like god, every time I tell every.
Speaker 2 (50:07):
Like normal or I say normal, like every sort of
non and people that aren't into the news as much
as I know the listeners are, please start poisoning the
well for people thinking Gavin Newsom is a viable candidate
in twenty twenty eight, or if.
Speaker 1 (50:21):
I think he might have just done that himself.
Speaker 2 (50:24):
I don't know you, but there's still there's every headline
from like the Washington Post, The New York Times, the
LA Times completely avoids how much of an establishment democrat
Gavin Newsom is and just they want to focus on
his like Twitter shit talking to be like this guy
is different, and you're like, I'm sorry on Israel, on
(50:45):
affordable housing, on progressive taxes, on these on the unhoused,
he is not different at all, and he's actual different
worse than any other ways. Yeah, and it's they're gonna
fucking try and cram the shit down people's throw. But
it's like, no, dude, this guy is unless you're like Clovicular,
who's like, yeah, I've like I'm not even a Democrat.
(51:05):
But obviously if it's against like JD Vance and like
just like Chad Gavin Newsom, like that's where I'm at, Guys,
that's not the vote that you need to be chasing.
Speaker 1 (51:14):
Okay, Yeah, anyways, the person who organized the pro Silicon
Valley thing, like again, like you can you can tell
an astroturft campaign when you see one. You know, it's
like the fucking Tea Party guys all those years ago,
Like this is just being funded by billionaire.
Speaker 2 (51:32):
Look at the press, look at the press to protest ratio.
Speaker 1 (51:36):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (51:37):
Typically when a new group is out there doing something
and you get there's the press out numbers the actual
people participating, that's that can be not saying all the time,
because there are small movements that grow out of like
a few people, but like something as that stinks like shit,
like working people who want a cape for billionaires.
Speaker 3 (51:56):
Like yeah, cool, well yeah, just like think of how
many demonstrations of this size happen like literally every day
that are politically to the left, and no one ever
writes about them.
Speaker 1 (52:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (52:12):
No, one's actually that thing that you're always wondering, like
are other people like worried that? Like I feel like
the government isn't being ran properly and like it's making
life harder for me, and like shouldn't my tax dollars
be doing something to benefit me?
Speaker 1 (52:25):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (52:25):
Yeah, no, it's crazy, dude. You know somebody said that,
are you okay? Are you tweety birds right now? You
hear some tweety birds?
Speaker 1 (52:34):
Or are you Bernie Sanders? Are you Bernie Sanders? What?
Speaker 2 (52:37):
No, I'm your I'm your brother.
Speaker 1 (52:39):
I just don't know, yeh. Get your face a little
bit to.
Speaker 2 (52:42):
Me, like like Robin Williams and hook when he finally goes, oh,
there you are, Bernie.
Speaker 1 (52:51):
I got a haircut on Thursday and cut my hair
said said you're back after they come. I love that
and it gave me uh it gave me real uh
there you are? And yeah yeah yeah, oh you're back?
Was it?
Speaker 2 (53:08):
Was it like the reveal like after you've had your haircut,
looking at one last look in the mirror, like oh
and you're dy back, welcome back, welcome home, there you are.
Speaker 1 (53:17):
That's what Bradley Cooper also said to Lady Gaga when
he took off her makeup for the He said, go
go wipe that stuff off your face. Then she came
back to do the stars born thing. He said, there
you are.
Speaker 2 (53:31):
Wait is that from the movie or that's real?
Speaker 1 (53:33):
That's from the like behind the scenes lore of the
making making off. And I feel like I got Bradley
Cooper Lady Gaga a little bit.
Speaker 3 (53:43):
Yeah, yeah, it.
Speaker 1 (53:46):
Felt great. I walked out of there with a fucking
pet in myself.
Speaker 2 (53:50):
As you walk out the barbers and jerk off motion.
Speaker 1 (53:55):
This guy idiot?
Speaker 2 (53:57):
Yeah yeah, oh my god, what a fucking idiot.
Speaker 1 (54:02):
Uh shit? Mary, Such a pleasure having you as always
on the dailies like geist, Where can people find you?
Follow you all that good stuff.
Speaker 3 (54:10):
I'm on all the social media, but most importantly check
out my YouTube, The Mary Willahant Show. I interview lefty comedians,
grassroots candidates and independent journalists and just try to combat
some media bias but make it funny and digestible. And
(54:34):
I want to go super viral. So if you guys
could please follow and share and all that kind of stuff,
I would love you. You have clovicular on, No, Unfortunately
I have some morals and I won't interview just anybody.
Speaker 2 (54:49):
Uh yeah, we got clovicular on later today.
Speaker 1 (54:52):
If you talk to clovicular my god.
Speaker 3 (54:55):
Yeah, these people sneakers audience.
Speaker 2 (55:00):
Yeah, No, it's crazy that they do. And it's odd
though too, Like how a significant portion are just hate
watchers too? Yes, oh, and I'm like that's also deeply unhealthy.
Speaker 3 (55:10):
I mean, that's exactly what happened in twenty sixteen, everyone
being like, get a load of Trump. It's so weird
he's running for president, nothing bad will happen for us
giving him attention to.
Speaker 2 (55:21):
Emperor you God, Emperor Trump.
Speaker 1 (55:24):
Amazing. Is there a work a media you've been enjoying?
Speaker 3 (55:28):
TikTok videos of people singing, singing what well? I saw
one of someone singing Open Arms by Journey the other
day and I was like, this is a good song.
I forgot.
Speaker 2 (55:43):
Was it just someone like just belting it out a
cappella to karaoke? Wow? I like when I like that,
that's your happy content. It's just like people just belting.
Speaker 3 (55:53):
It's like talented people and You're like.
Speaker 2 (55:55):
WHOA mine is just still so much dancing. The algorithms
like this person needs to see people dancing to feel good,
and I'm like, yes, yes.
Speaker 3 (56:05):
I like dancing bids too. I like line dancing.
Speaker 2 (56:08):
Oh okay, culture.
Speaker 1 (56:13):
Amazing miles Where can people find you? Is there a
workingmedia you've been enjoying?
Speaker 2 (56:18):
Yeah, you can find me everywhere at miles of Gray.
You can catch me talking about ninety dance on four
to twenty Day Fiance, and I'm talking about the English
Premier League and European soccer on Ain't It Footy with
Jamel Johnson and Chris Martin. Tune into that. It's a
good time. A working media, I like is It's more
(56:38):
like an entire account and it's one of it. Was
one of my favorite producers, Pete Rock Okay the move
who who you know who? Produced one of the greatest tracks.
They reminisce over You with cl Smooth and Pete Rock
has become such an old ass boomer in his takes
hope since oh it's the most disappointing shit. Pete Rock
(57:00):
is so gone. That's saying all kinds of wacky conspiracy theories.
But ever since, like AI slop videos have come out,
he posts so many earnestly, and it's all partially I mean,
I got so bummed out, and part of me is
like I need to actually keep an eye on this
just to know, like just to keep the pulse of
the people who think AI slop is real, because like
(57:21):
the latest one he posted was like some dude just
like digging a gigantic studio like in his backyard, or
like building a big pit that's like impossible. Guys like
using a shovel and it's like a time wapse and
you're like this would have to be done mechanically to
see this.
Speaker 1 (57:38):
Yeah, like this is uh they said Rome wasn't built
in a day, but look at this guy kind of yeah,
he's building some kind of pit.
Speaker 2 (57:48):
Okay, it keeps going. It's one man, he's bearing this,
there's grass that's going to be built over it. And
then wait to the reveal. So now he's down in
here doing all this framing and it becomes like this
fucking luxury Yeah it's and then he and Pete rock
just put yeah he did that, Pete Damn bro anyway,
(58:16):
so shield yourself from that. But I think for hip
hop veas if you if you haven't checked in on
Pete Rocky, it's uh, it's no see. Nobody's telling him
the truth either, and you can tell by what he's
supposed to do.
Speaker 1 (58:27):
You can find me on Twitter at Jack Underscore O,
Brian blue Sky, Jack ob the number one Instagram Jack Underscore,
Oh Underscore Brian uh Workmedia. I finally saw No Other Choice,
which is the Park champ Wook movie director of Old Boy,
decision to leave handmade, and one of the best directors
(58:47):
currently working. Got a new banger called No Other Choice,
which sounds like a John Claude Van Damn movie title
but is actually an amazing, dark comedy about modern capitalism
that I highly recommend people check out. I don't think
he got nominated for anything in the Academy Awards because.
Speaker 2 (59:08):
Well, I just didn't get what he was trying to say. Yeah,
this guy's prob Oh my gosh, your director, I think's
really that bad.
Speaker 1 (59:17):
But it's it's like you know, he's very different, but
it does have like kind of parasite energy, like he's
very different. No other choice. The premise is that a
guy gets fired and decides to start killing the people
who would be up for the job that he wants
(59:40):
so that they have no other choice. But then it
takes on many different meanings. It's a it's a really
good movie, all right.
Speaker 2 (59:48):
It sounds like story.
Speaker 1 (59:52):
That's right. You can't take me down. I wouldn't like
that for you. Well either.

We also link off to a song that we think
you might enjoy. Miles, is there a song that you
think that people might enjoy?
Speaker 2 (01:00:25):
Yes. The new Baby Keme album came out last week
called Casino, and there's one track on it that I enjoy.
It's called I'm Not a Lyricist and I just like
it because it kind of it feels like he's channeling
Andre three thousand a little bit, just like with his flow.
And also you realize Baby Keem has like seven different
voices voices he uses to rap, and it's disorienting at times,
(01:00:48):
and I'm like, who's feature. Oh this is all Baby Keen. Okay,
that's range. So anyway, this track is.
Speaker 1 (01:00:54):
Called his own track.
Speaker 2 (01:00:55):
Yeah, it's called I Am Not a Lyricist, Baby Keem.
Check it out if you if you miss hearing Andre
three thousand adjacent rhyme schemes. I think this is something
that you'll just kind of enjoice to check it out.
Speaker 1 (01:01:06):
All right. We will link off to that in the footnotes.
