surfeit into the sunset. Mine was runaway trained, by the
way by uh that skid Row Okay, yeah, eighties vallad

it was like the only it was the only song
I really liked by them. But yeah, shout out to

the great TVs guests of all time, one of the
great uh comedians out there doing it. You guys may
know him from Bob's Burgers or the NFL Network. He
can be heard every week co hosting the hit podcast
Dumb People, Town and pen Pals. He is the hilarious,

(01:51):
the talented, the kind. Mr Daniel van Kurdan, what's UPO, hi, friends?
It has been way too It's been over a year, right, yeah,
slamming my lord on the stage in your hometown. You
know that's Rochelle, Illinois. But I did, I did become
a whatever version of a man I am in Chicago. Yeah, okay, yeah,

(02:14):
I don't mean to exactly. I don't mean to catch
this person's on your Joan Allen, Joan Allen, Rochelle, Illinois.
She went on David Letterman. He said, where are you from?
She said, Chicago, and people in Rochelle have never let
it go. Oh she got like, just torched by the town.
Be like, oh, Dad, well it's more passive because it's
true Midwest style. But from Chicago. Yes, I guess she's

(02:36):
not from here anymore. That's weird, I guess. So I
guess I'll move her mail. Then she is. She is
a goddamn st too. She's amazing. So I have no
hate for it. But I always want to reprochel whenever
I can. But yes, Chicago is also my city. God,
that was. That was a beautiful time. I can't thank
you guys enough for giving me like I felt very lucky.

(02:58):
It was like you guys and shows in Austin right
before everything went away. So I had a good run
of great memories right there. I was. I felt like
Jack and You're like, man, maybe we can't stop if
we can't be stopped. We did say that at the
live show unreleased, but we said nothing can stop us.

(03:20):
We are God's God's got nothing on us. We're gonna
we are unstoppable. No act of God. I think, Miles
you specifically said, yeah, I struck it from like all
these contracts. I was about to sign them, like active
God to get it out of here. I'm blessed. I
don't need that, and they're like that would signing an
act of God. I'm like, well, I am upside down

(03:42):
on this tractor trailer I bought. I got your force.
May you are right here, bro, good Paul. What you've
been up to us? I was, I've kept as busy
as I can, working on a show I'll be able
to talk about soon. And then it's not a great thing.
You can always look up inside feel relevant and this

(04:03):
feature film trilogy actually that driving pretty can't real. And
then when somebody ever says to you, what was that thing,
be like, oh I went away? Yeah exactly, Yeah, yeah,
that just went away. When somebody says to you that,
what was I think like, I still can't talk about it,
but it went away. We just think did Jim Did
Jim Cameron say I could mention? No, No, I can't. Jim.
Actually Jim was saying that I shouldn't say anything. Yeah,

(04:26):
neither him or Steven spiel Stevie. So working on that
a lot, but we're about to wrap up work on that,
and then, um, you know, the Squaw Brothers and I
just kept trugging along with dumb people talented a lot
of shows. And then Rory Scovel and I with our
pen Pals podcast doing the same and I created shows
and I haven't done stand up since July. But that's

(04:50):
about to change because I've been working really hard on
a tour and this Wednesday, that June nine, I will
be announcing the tour live on Instagram. Nice. Yeah, I
think it like four pm our time. That'd be six
pm Rochelle Illinois time. How do you, like, how do
you get your reps in as a stand up when

(05:11):
you're not you know, hitting the stage and like you're
about to do with this, Like do you just feel
like naturally you're you're always sharp because you're hosting and
talking all the time or what how do you you
know as an athlete as a performance feel like that helps? Right?
Like you guys have to know, like just like how
you guys are always informed and you can rattle off
the names and the facts and you're probably two of
the best. Without this show, you still would be, but

(05:31):
two of the best cocktail party guests ever because you're like, oh, yeah,
i know I've heard about that, I know about that,
I know about that, and then like lying, yeah, he's
a malignant narcissist. So yeah, Well the thing was is,
so I had a whole new hour ready to go.
I ran it in July at a digital show and
I was like, all right, I got it down, I'll

(05:52):
save that. I recorded it, and then doing stand up
kind of felt like sugar for your ice cream, like
you're eating dessert, but stand up digitally just didn't. It
was just kind of like missing something. So I created
these zoom shows that were smaller in nature purposely to
kind of make it more of a hang. And I
still do them, and we'll continue to do them and
do a monthly Bingo night where it's just we give

(06:13):
away prizes and people can money. We also and we
raise money for no Kill animal Shelters, Big Brothers, Big
Sisters in food banks. So if you win a bingo
one of those organizations in your area, you choose which
one also gets a donation. Yeah, so we do that
and it's a great You know, you can call bingo anywhere,
like obviously I'd love to do it in a hall
in Texas, but like you do it here, you can

(06:34):
do it on this like we're doing this digitally and
it still works and it's a lot of fun. And
then I started like a pub trivia like league trivia
night that I do every month as well, and then
to bring it back. The reasoning for this to go
back to what us Jack is. I thought, well, stand
up is never gonna feel like I'm really doing stand up,
But if I can create an environment where I'm sort

(06:57):
of hosting it, but it's got so much room to
kick around and breathe, like in bingo and all this
other stuff, inherently, hopefully I'll still be funny and find
bits and like interact with people and joke around. So
I'll keep keep those tools moving, but it won't be
writing now material and then testing it out, because there
really would be no at least for the way I like.

(07:17):
I'm a real in the room kind of guy, kind
of comic, and so I just was like, oh, how
can I create stuff that will still allow me to
joke around and have that interaction and be funny and
have a good time, but not try to make it
something it can't be. So I did this, and uh,
I'll continue doing both of those shows at least through
the end of the year, but I can't wait on

(07:38):
August eleven to start. I'm not worried about you. You're
a pro and the fact that you're even mindful of that,
I think you know that's that already shows your It's
it's taking up space within your mind on how to,
you know, give yourself the best possible outcome. So thanks,
I learned it from your dad. I learnt, I said,
for legal reasons, don't say that shi about me. Start
paying all right, Then we're gonna get to know you

(08:01):
a little bit better in a moment. First, we're gonna
tell our listeners a couple of things we're talking about.
We're gonna talk about that Trump speech where nobody really
seemed to listen. Even Fox News wasn't listening. The big
kind of outcomes seems to be the people. I think
he might have been wearing his pants backwards. I like that.
That's what we're right now. It's like he gave his

(08:22):
speech and the thing was like, yo, where his pants
on backwards? Not like, oh my god, he's continuing with
like he's doubling down on the election fraud. But we'll see,
I mean, snokes came through with their chest out. I know, No,
he didn't have his pants on backwards, which I just
don't know how you how you know that for sure
was visible? The zipper was visible. Okay, yeah, it just

(08:44):
was like a few images, like you know how the
internet does gets fixated and because no one wants to
talk about how horrific it is that he's speaking out
loud again. It's like, I mean, we could probably go
to parlor right now if that still exists, and see
a lot of people being like, no, do you complain
when criss Cross did it? Color? It's okay, it's standard.

(09:05):
You know, that's how these lips feel all the time. Right, Yeah,
I know that was wild. Can we just admit though,
that if people can't tell if they're on front, was
or backwards, it probably is uncomfortable regardless. Yeah, I think
it was a diaper situation. Is my guess is that
his pants looked strange because he had a Maybe he
was may or maybe he's stuffing you know what I mean,

(09:26):
to try and act like he's you know, he's big
man or something with like a book down the front
of his pants. It's like, yeah, that's not even how
that's supposed to look. Man, that's a throw pillow blow fashion.
You guys aren't bloat fashion. That's one of those old
cowboy callers from the eighties. Football. We're gonna talk about

(09:48):
Joe Manchin, maybe we'll talk about bb NET and yeah
who uh and how how he's just pulling from the
old right wing playbook after you lose an election. We'll
talk about Jeff Bozos and how he's going to risk

(10:08):
his life to go into space and Miles, you gave
me an idea. I think I think we need to
conduct a poll to let this man know how despised
he is. I think that would really hurt his feelings.
We'll talk about the Conjuring franchise, which is just continues
to be a force at the box office and why
that might be problematic. All that plenty more. But first day,

(10:31):
and we like to ask our guests, what is something
from your search history that is revealing about who you are? Okay, well,
it's what's it's it's my current state in life as
well a little bit of like what I'm going through.
I don't know if you guys are hip to this
or not, but recently, as of like two days ago,
but it's been ongoing before and since then, I searched

(10:54):
tips for renting a car in kauaiih Are you guys
familiar with what's happening in country and specifically Hawaii's just
there's no cars. There's no cars all right? For example,
I during a year ago, almost almost I think exactly

(11:15):
a year ago pretty much. I rented a truck, drove
to Roche, Illinois, picked up my pinball machine that I
had sold to have money to move to l A,
was able to buy back from the person I sold
it to, and I drove it back out here, and
I rented uh F one fifty you know, unlimited miles
for like I think twelve days. I think it cost
me a hundred and sixty dollars, right, That gives you

(11:38):
that's where we were at. Obviously that was pandemic pricing.
But in a normal year, I bet that would have
cost me, like maybe so. And I rent cars a
lot for being on the road and stuff, so I'm
verst Yes, car rentals, if you can find one in
Kauaii are going for about seven hundred and fifty dollars
a day, a day, a day. So guys, here's the thing.

(12:04):
They don't have cars anymore. There's no cars. Every single
car rental place of every size and make of car
is gone. So now everything's gone to Turo. But there
is nothing on Turo. You can find cars for like
a hundred and fifty two hundred dollars a day, which

(12:25):
is a good deal. And it's like a two thousand
and twelve Scion XB. It's like a it's like a
two thousand eight Saturn. And I'm not joking. And you're
gonna spend if you're going to you know, usually go
to wife for at least five days, you're gonna spend
close to like a grand Now there are almost no
cars left on Turo, So the next place you have
to go if you haven't gone the U haul route,

(12:46):
which some people have gone, is Craigslist. And this cottage
industry has been created with people just renting their cars.
And you see everybody from being like, hey, here's my car,
my O eight Corolla. If you want to rent a
call me to other people who have said here's the
in the ad Craigslist had, It'll be like, here's a
link to our Google doc. You fill out the reservation form.

(13:09):
These are just people like like, because you know, so
much of that economy relies on tourism. A lot of
just people who worked in the restaurant just like took
a big hit. So this has kind of become in
a good way. I actually feel like like a windfall
for them to be able to make some money back
just on their own cars that they have. But I've

(13:29):
gone so far. I am not a wealthy man. But
when you look at renting, like for seven days in Kawaii,
I looked on Craigslist guys, and I was like, do
I just buy a car and then I sell it
to somebody else coming to Quaiet or I give it
to I like, work out a deal with somebody who's

(13:51):
running one of these things and say like, hey, I'll
just trust you you. I'll leave the car here you
rented out, and then give me some sort of money
off or or whatever. At this point, you can be like, yo, dude,
I'll pay your car payment for a month. Yes, you
just give it to me for like two weeks because
that's not even gonna match what the rental rate is.
And I know for you, your calculus is that car payment.

(14:14):
Why don't I take care of that and you can
get it most of the month. Actually, dude, so quick,
quill cook story. I know we got a time to
get to today. So I go out to lunch with
a friend of mine and we're hanging out. I didn't
even dawn, I mean towards Senego. Oh my god, you
have family in Kauaii, and he goes, yeah, I'm from there.
I was like, I totally forgot. I go, what I'm
about to tell you? If it sounds crazy? And he
had not heard any of anything. I just told you guys.

(14:37):
He goes, let me call my family. I go, if
they'd let me rent one of their cars, if they
even have one. But I guarantee you they already know
about this. The island so small, and it's all over
every island in Hawaii. Go, they already know about this.
They might already be doing it, or if they have
an extra car, I would rather pay them. He goes,
let me call my uncle. I mean, I don't know.
He's not too like tech savvy. I but he doesn't
really we'll see, right. We leave lunch. Ten minutes later,

(14:59):
he calls up and he goes, so, I just talked
to my uncle. His cars rented the first three days
you're gonna be there. He already was on this. He goes,
he said, uh, he said his uncle told him. Yeah,
he didn't know anything about it, but his neighbor approached him,
told him about it, and his neighbor's running everything, and
then they just split some of the money. But everyone
on the islands is doing this. So my current search

(15:23):
history is renting a car. You know there's zeke gang
in Hawaii because y'all came through for me when I
was out there like a year ago. Look if you
got the you know you got the lifted Yoda bro
on the low from my man DVK hit us up
day dude, I'm I am desperate. Hey, you're under right
in the Yoda bro? Yeah, for sure, Man, they're gonna

(15:44):
be who's that holday in the Yoda? Wait? What's the yoda?
Yota toyota? Because I'll be on I'd be on Hawaii
TikTok to. You know what. I've been on it too.
I love that when they start talk about their Yoda's,
I'm like, I love I love the vernacular this and
you get from Regali. Somebody out there is a good person,

(16:05):
be nice to me and wants to throw me some tips.
I am open to end in all possibilities. It's a
free for all. But also I want you know, I'm
happy to take care of somebody. Otherwise you just use Yeah,
but that's a whole on Kauai. It's so remotely. Yeah,
I looked I was like, what if I went from
this place to this place? Because I'm obviously bury the lead.

(16:27):
I'm planning on going to Kawaii later this summer. Yeah,
and so um, I was like, what if I went
from there and it was like sixty dollars? And I'm like,
all right, at that point, if I go around trip
that's one twenty, I can only go to those two spots.
Maybe I do run a car for hundred and fifty
dollars a day. That's like an old I don't know,
you go, So I love a good cottage industry man.

(16:51):
That that's the best, the best that capitalism has to
offer is just like spontaneity hustling. Yeah yeah, And I'm
all I'm saying with you, Jack, I'm all for it.
I'm like, hey, yeah, I gotta assume I'm trying to
do right by people. So there's got to be people
out there that would try to do right by me.
Let's all help each other and everybody as come on now.

(17:15):
Back in the day though, that's like the way that
people got rich in California. Like the reason Stanford University
exists is because somebody came out here and just started
selling people like shovels and ship Yeah. Yeah, it's just
like that's you made the most money. Yeah, and now
I mean that you would be like stumped by some
big capitalist force, like big hurts would just like destroy you.

(17:38):
But back in the day, that's how capitalism worked and
why it worked. Yeah, yeah, that's dope. What is something
that you think is overrated? I'm probably late on this,
especially with you guys, because you're hitting everything every day.
But and I'm gonna say it full disclosure, without even
seeing it, I think the Friends reunion's overrated even seeing

(17:59):
it doesn't. But here's why I read. I assume our
friend and yours Dave Holmes's article and esquire about the Friends,
and it kind of gave me everything I needed to
know that it, like Matthew Perry seems to be going
through some stuff. I saw a TikTok where they there's
a part where Lisa Coudro is like, well, we talked
to each other, like every day. There's not a day

(18:20):
that goes by that one of us doesn't talk to
the other one, and then Matthew Perry says, I don't
hear from anybody, And I guess there's a ton of
laugh but somebody did a TikTok I could send it
to you guys where they take out the laugh and
it's not edited. There's just no laughter from the audience,
and then you can kind of see the interest the
interactions of just them, and it feels sad and I

(18:41):
don't look at it as I like. So to me,
I'm like, look, if that, if that brings you joy,
I'm not here to take away anybody's joy. If Friends
brings you joy and you want to and you want
to live in Central Perk, I don't go for it.
But I think for me and I love Friends, I
still love Friends the show, but I think I was
just like, I think it's a little maybe not what
I would have wanted on of it, or maybe not

(19:02):
hitting some of the notes that it's trying to ignore.
So I saw like the tail end of the Friends one,
and then I watched the Fresh Prince one immediately after it,
and then you know, my partner her matter, she was like,
I didn't see the opening of the Friends one. She's like,
this is the exact same opening of the Friends one.
They did the same thing they're doing because the Fresh
Prince one starts off with like will coming back to

(19:23):
the set, you know, because he flits the light, you know,
moment it leaves the empty set, it's Will wandering back
onto the set and it's dark and he's about to
flick the light and then like all these like memories
flash and it's like really well cut, especially you're a
fan of the shot. I'm I got ready for this,
and they do it and it's like wonderful and she's
like that was the Friends one. It's like, godd okay,

(19:45):
so it's even derivative of this one. And we talked
about it came out, it didn't get There wasn't much
fanfare around the Fresh Prince one, not this much, I
think an appropriate amount of fanfare for a what is
when we talked about a lot sweet, we were saying,
it's just like a a TV It would be like
a one night TV special that would have like kind

(20:06):
of come and gone back in the day, right, But
now I don't know. Because Friends has this like second
life on streaming, people were treating it like an iconic moment,
a big event. But yeah, I mean, like the Fresh
Prince thing is like I am like vaguely intrigued, but
having made the time to watch it yet, but if

(20:28):
you're a fan of the show, it definitely like will
make you will feel And then they even have its
original aunt live on VIV come back and they will
kind of have a bit of a reckoning, although he
doesn't really apologize apologize, like there is an honest conversation
around us. There's that, Yeah, do they play the uncle
Phil seen the greatest one when when they got arrested

(20:49):
for like driving his car. I can't remember what it was. Remember, Oh,
when Carlton's like yes, officer and he thinks like the cops. Yeah,
they touch on that, and they also talk about like
the woman's like why doesn't you know that? There's a
lot and like they have a real They give a
lot of time to James Avery and like everyone really
talking about how influential he was to every single person

(21:10):
and just how much of a thespian he was and
like how everyone like wanted to be on their ship
because of him. Anyway, if you like the show, I
would definitely it's worth checking out. It's properly rated. I'll
say that exactly as super produced Anajosie is saying, Now
that's acting. There's like this moment where Will Smith is
talking about that moment with his dad abandonment monologue things,

(21:32):
and he's like, I'm right here, will you give it?
Like Will's describing this like interaction, and it's like you realize,
like damn that, like you really felt it. But on
the other side of that was an actor who was
really trying to get Will Smith to like break through
emotionally as a performer and as you know, semi goofy
as it was, but the heart that was in it,

(21:53):
You're like, damn, this is this is kind of why
you watched these specials because you can see like the
gravity on everyone's face, like realising how important he was.
So yeah, that's awesome. Now I want to watch both specials.
So if that's you're overrated, I can't wait to see
what you're underrated? Is my underrated? And I might be

(22:13):
so late to this that I think I've found it.
I call it the Christopher Columbus rule. But like, but
like I feel like a major thing that's underrated. Like
I've told so many people about it, and I'm like,
come on, is Invincible? Have you guys watched it? Invincible?

(22:36):
Was that It's the animated show from Robert Kirkman on
Amazon about superheroes, and trust me, the feeling is, do
I really need another superhero show? And and do I
need one that maybe kind of looks like it's gonna
be like The Boys, which is a live action show
already on Amazon about superheroes. It's uh, handily one of

(23:03):
the best things I've seen this year. It is it
is so far beyond a superhero show. And I'm talking
about performance and cast I guess I said performance, but
the acting and the storylines, the turns there were really
the relationships between the characters. It's unreal. And and throw
a dart like you'll hit an actor that you love

(23:26):
that's in this show. It's so so good. If I
can implore you to not know anything more about it
than what I've just said and just watch the first episode,
I'm yeah. Just reading this cast list, I'm yeah, I
like it. I will say this just because I want
to give this disclaimer, but I don't want to say

(23:46):
too much. Just to understand, I did give a little
bit to our our our faithful listeners. It is superhero
so there is violence, and there might be more than
you would think you're gonna get, But maybe that dozen
people that doesn't register for some people. But I just
want to said that. So cartoon violence seems to be
like there's just different rules for it, Like Richard Morty

(24:09):
is so fucking violent, like people just like so. But
if if, if you can, and you want, and you
got forty two minutes to kill. That's the other thing too.
I will say that it's not a half hour animated show.
It's a it's a full hour animated show. Yeah. These
I mean, I'm just Steven Young, J K. Simmons, Sandra Oh,

(24:31):
Mark hamill Man, Zukis Brogan, Walton Goggins, Michael Dorne, Fucking
Wharf from Star Trek, Reginald val Johnson. Okay, we're going
to Family Matters Town, Jimen Hansu. You got May Whitman
if you remember her as May and Egg from the
rest of Development. Wow, Okay, you're still with her. Yeah.

(24:52):
Amazon Prime is the University of Kentucky basketball of streaming content,
and that have so much great content that you just
like never find out about it until like after, like
years after it's been after it's no longer new, Like
the way that the University of Kentucky is the only

(25:15):
place that was able to hold Devin Booker to under
twenty points a game. Uh yeah, Amazon Prime has so
much good ship man, if you trust me enough, just
watch the pilot and then and I want at least
the two of you or Justin if you watch as well,
just message me. Please let me know what you thought,

(25:36):
even if you're like not for me, I would just
love to know what you thought. You look justin Justin
seen it and love it down. Have you seen Patriot Daniel? Yes,
I stared Amazon Prime. No, I started it. I'm like
three episodes and I really like it. Yeah, but yeah,
but yeah, you start getting invested in especially he's like

(25:57):
I had to learn everything that plays about drilling or
whatever bring all this. Like he's just trying to bullshit
his way through being coy, but he's kind of a
good ship head too, and like it's depiction of the
CIA is just like hapless and stupid is like the
first realistic depiction of the CIA. And Dad's my boss

(26:19):
for a hit. But yeah, anything on Amazon Prime, Like,
if you hear good things about it, go check it
out because it's probably criminally underrated. Alright, let's take a
quick break and we will be right back. And we're

(26:42):
back and all right, so the former president next Republican
presidential candidate gave a speech, and I continue to be
surprised by how little of a ship people give about everything.
This dude says at this point, like even like you
you have all these people who are supposedly like ride

(27:04):
or die for him, they're like ready to, you know,
nominate him right now for the next Republican nomination. Some
people were willing to put their lives on the line
for him at the end of his last run, and
now he just no, nobody gives this ship. Yeah, it's
it's I'm not sure. I'm curious to see what if
it's like a perception thing where obviously the politicians know

(27:25):
like they need him because they believe he's their key
to re election and for the base. But then like
the base is also kind of like they're still they're
still Maga gang out there, strong and healthy. But there's
definitely a group of people who aren't as engaged who
may have voted for Trump as well. And you know,
last time he spoke was in February, and no one

(27:47):
cared except for the people like at Sepack, and it
got a little bit of coverage because it was you know,
the first time he was speaking in public since being
you know, ousted from the White House and the you
know insurrection all that. But then, yeah, he's in at
the North Carolina Republican State Convention, and notably Fox News
ran like a pre taped segment of like Jesse Waters

(28:08):
Show rather than doing any coverage. What do you think
that's about. I mean, that's that's the thing that's interesting,
because do you think they wish they could not be
associated with him even though that he makes them millions
and millions of dollars? I think that's what's weird. So
News Max and O A. N are the two conservative
you know, hyper just nightmare channels that we're running the

(28:32):
full speech uninterrupted. MSNBC was like it was quite literally
on in the background, like on mute, where the pundits
were just like slamming the event. And CNN didn't air
it at all. But yeah, with Fox, it's interesting to see,
like what they clearly have some kind of calculus in mind.
I'm not sure what it is, whether they feel that's
their ability to begin to steer the party away from

(28:53):
him by not by covering him less, but it's funny.
By the next day, he was on Fox Business Channel
or like the host let him say whatever he wanted,
didn't challenge a single thing he said, so he can
he can pick his spots. Apparently. I wonder if they
know that it's not a good look to like him
out of power and kind of still making up lies
about the election and like kind of bitter about his loss.

(29:16):
Like they just kind of they're doing the same thing
that they were doing when he was in office, which
is like being the best propaganda wing that they possibly
can for his administration, and now they recognize, like people's
appetite for people who aren't in power isn't as strong,
and like, so you're you're not gonna do him or

(29:38):
yourself any favors by trying to cram that down their
throat when he doesn't have anything new to say and
it's not like about the next election. Um would be
my best guess as to what's going on, because they
didn't suddenly find religion, you know, like they didn't or
find reality, I guess would be a better way of
saying that. And despite all the like you know, sets

(30:00):
of lies or the same old hits of the election,
was still in type things he was doing in North Carolina,
Like it just no one cared because everyone was focused
on his pants. Like the thing I saw more than
even that he spoke, was like you always got his
pants on backwards and that's all people were fixated on.

(30:21):
And yeah, I sure, great he did. He didn't. It's
it looks very like when Trump like that's how his
clothes said, he has no his clothes fit ill fitting clothing.
Did you try and go without pleats? Maybe? Is that
what like was surprising people. I don't know, it's just
it's just but it's just that's the state of affairs

(30:43):
where we don't care what he's saying anymore. Let's just
look at his crotch and be like huh um. And
that's about as much attention he's getting, like from you know,
the internet punditory class. But it's just a it's just
an interesting evolution for him now, especially as you know
on the face on the back of that Facebook to
your band too, that he's facing. It's like, okay, because

(31:04):
this is what he's got to work with at the moment.
I just felt good to have so many people not care,
not give a ship. Yeah, it does feel good, and
I am very uh, you know, skeptical about that, like
about their reasoning for that. Like I know that there
was an article about over the weekend about a conservative

(31:27):
talk radio person who suddenly shifted and went from like
a stop to steel focus on the recounting Arizona thing
to let's not even push this recount for because well,
I think first of all, probably realized that it's not
they're they're not going to find anything, And I think
they yeah, I think they're just thinking like bigger picture,

(31:50):
like that this is not a good precedent to set
for electoral politics, like everything that he's doing, and we're
about to talk about BBN Yahoo, like it's that whole movement,
like the Republican and right wing conservative movement is all
anti democratic now and in and they're trying to pull

(32:11):
this off in places that have a lot of protections
in place to you know, not enough protections in place,
but still, you know, you're kind of fighting a losing
battle if you're claiming to be democratic and then trying
to just fucking spike the game board and knock all
the pieces off. But real quick, let's talk about Joe Manchin. Yeah,

(32:32):
because he can just shut the hell up as far
as I'm concerned. Uh, he's yeah. I mean again, he's
just made it clear he's not going to be voting
for the Four the People Act because I guess he
has no interest in protecting whatever form of democracy this
is here, And he wrote an op ed He's like,
why won't be voting for it? And it's just like,
it's just all nonsense, you know. He says, quote, we

(32:54):
are now witnessing the fundamental right to vote has itself
become overtly politicized what yeah, by Republicans. Today's debate about
how to best protect our right to vote and to
hold elections, however, is not about finding common ground but
seeking part is an advantage. Yes, part is in um
right because everyone gets to vote. But the voter suppression

(33:16):
that the Republicans are engaged in, that is hyper partisan
because their whole aim is to prevent people of the other.
That's fine, Joe Manson to continue on with your nonsense rant.
And then he also sort of goes on He's like,
if it's like so good, how come no Republicans voted
for it? Are you fucking serious? What the fuck? It's

(33:37):
just so I mean, look, he's either he's probably an
idiot and disingenuous. So I don't know which way to
look at it, but his whole thing is like, that's
of course no Republicans supported. They are actively suppressing the
vote to skew the outcomes in their favor. So it
does not behoove them to participate in a free and
fair election. And even sort of like indicates on some level,

(34:01):
and it's like yeah, because you know, like if more
people vote, like they'll vote Democrat, and like, you know,
you think that they will need a seat at the
table to figure out how that works. Like, well, that's
because their platform and their ideology is absolutely repulsive to
many people. That's why not because you can mail in vote,
Like what the funk are you talking about? And yes,

(34:23):
all that to say is that he will continue to
work for everyone to quote seek by partisan compromise, no
matter how difficult, and you just went along with him
in Kirsten Centemo. You just want to say, there's no
such thing anymore. You have a group that is actively
engaged in destroying any kind of free and fair election,
and to keep doing this thing of like, well we

(34:44):
should do things democratically or else, then no one's doing democracy.
It completely fails to see the point that these people
are going out of the bounds to to be able
to reach their goals and to act like you have to.
The only way to counter that is by seeing the
flaws in the system as it is, there's no way
anyone can win. So good luck Joe Manchin. But I

(35:07):
hope you know this. We'll see what kind of pressure
can be put on, especially him in cinema. But Tusk,
you guys a broad question, and forgive me if you've
talked about it times. Do you think we're likely to
actually see a party split on the Republican sign or
will they just forsake like what's his name in Illinois,

(35:27):
Kissinger the Kinger. Yeah, well they just forsake him and
what they feel is the small minority of Republican voters
and just be like, no, this is what we are now,
and then those people will just like break off. Like
I have people in my family. I asked them last week.
I asked one of them very specifically. They voted for
Trump in they voted for Biden. They are lifelong Republican,

(35:52):
and I said, currently as things are right now, and
this was right after like the we don't want to
investigate January six vote. Are you a Republican? And they
said to me, I've known this person of my whole life.
They go, no, I don't know what I am because
I'm not a Democrat. But then my party is like

(36:14):
doing things that are just the opposite of just rational
thought or like they're just not even you know what.
And so the either are lost and I said, and
I'm not speaking for everybody, but I said to them,
I go the promises, they're not talking to you anymore.
From like nine eighty to like two thousand twelve, two thourteen,
they specifically talked to Christians and they were like, we're

(36:37):
gonna be your party, and that's how they got this
vote or my family member that I was speaking to.
And then with the trump onslaught, it became speaking to
angry people and they benefited because a lot of quote
unquote Christians also were pretty angry, so they fell into
that bucket anyway. But if you weren't like a blind
angry race or and or racist person, just a like

(37:01):
Christian who voted Republican, no one's talking to they don't.
They're done with you. They've done the math, and they said,
there's way more angry people that also happened to be Christian,
And so I just wonder, like, what happens to this
column of Republican that's like, like, guys, when you say
something like how good can it be? No Republican vote

(37:21):
for it, Like it's that doesn't make it good, Like, yeah,
that doesn't make sense. Do you think we'll see a
split off there or they'll just forsake this This six
million to ten million people who helped decide this vote
who are like, I think it will boil down to money,
And there's a there are capitalists who give their money

(37:41):
to Republicans because they know in the end of the day,
it's about it's more in service of their industry or business,
and I feel like those are going to be the
people behind the scenes pressuring people like through donors to
be like, we can't be with this anymore. This doesn't work.
Can we do something different? But then splitting that vote
is a just gigantic threat to their their dominance or

(38:03):
just perceived dominance, or their ability to win elections if
their parties split. So I think both sides are honestly
looking at that too, because there's many progressives who are like,
what are what's Joe Biden doing? Like, what is he
He's not? Well, wouldn't I remember when Chuck Schumer's like
if Amy Coney Barrett is if she's pushed through in
her confirmation, he said everything's on the table. That was

(38:29):
the pump fake of the fucking decade right there, because
this this man be doing shit. So I and I
see a plenty of people too, are upsets saying we're
looking at existential threats for people who are you know,
trans for people who just want agency over their reproductive
rights and things like that, where is that fight? Because
it ain't there? And then so that leaves a group
of people bewildered on the left too. So I don't know,

(38:51):
it's it's a very I don't think either party wants
that to happen, but yeah, I don't know eventually if
the situation will be untenable enough for their Yeah, that's
what we have to do. Yeah, Yeah, I think there's
more and more appetite for non mainstream like I think, yeah,
like Myles said, both on the left on the right,
But it would have to take like a very extreme

(39:15):
confluence of circumstances I think for the for the party
to actually split because it would be somewhat suicidal I
think for that group of people since because of the
way American politics is set up that it's such a
two party system. Right, But hey, that would be great.
I would love nothing more. A significant amount of voters

(39:35):
could say, oh, we'll blow up your party plans on
election day if you don't start doing what we want. Yeah,
and I mean, look at all the power that Bernie
Sanders was able to have being like not really any
party and just like saying what he meant, and he's
pushed the entire movement left ward. Yeah. But I think,
but I think this frustration on either side is both

(39:57):
parties take their base for granted, and just know, if
we say these three things every day, don't know that
it's where the party that they think we are and
that's all we need to do for now. Yeah, it's
getting tired, well kind of taking this whole thing that
we're talking about, international, h b B net and Yahoo.
You know, it seems like this has been a year

(40:18):
and a half long story where you have to be
paying very close attention to understand like why it's taking
so long because he like lost an election a year ago.
Uh then lost another election like right after that, and
he keeps like having bad electoral results. Finally, there was
a coalition of other leaders that came together to form

(40:40):
a government that would remove him from power, and he
has We we know this is actually a serious change
to business as usual because he has just taken a
page from the Trump playbook and had a temper tantrum.
I'll just read from this writer's article Prime Minister Benjamin

(41:03):
Yah who said on Sunday newly formed Israeli coalition that
has poised unseat him was the result of quote the
greatest election fraud in the history of democracy. Like just
couldn't like Trump could have been writing his speech for him.
But yeah, I mean they all have, like when Bostonaro loses,

(41:24):
if they're able to like hold a free and fair election,
He'll say the exact same ship. It's just the entire
conservative movement has become a anti democratic, like pro authoritarian movement.
And his whole claim that like this is a fraud,
is that the one of the right wing leaders who's

(41:45):
like part of this coalition like broke a campaign promise
and he's like that's yeah, that's a fraud. That's like
that's just politics. Every they've all just become that fucking
kid yep, that you played tag with that swore they
weren't touched, and everybody knows they got touched. I'm holding
your shirt right now, like no, no, no, you know

(42:06):
you didn't get me. You didn't get me. Serious phantom
phantom phantom sensations. And the great thing was in our
day everybody just eventually would stop playing with that kid.
But like I'd love us to get back to that.
We're like, no, you got it. You got hit with
the nerve gun, like the little we saw your body right,

(42:28):
it wasn't wind, asshole. And I don't care if these
are your toys were playing with. That doesn't mean you cheat.
A hit is a hit. And I mean even now,
like you look at enough Trollie Bennett, who's you know,
you know it could be the next prime minister. He
ain't He's not better than Benjamin Night. This dude used
to run. He used to be the leader of a
settlement movement, you know what I mean. Like, it's just

(42:50):
it's a wild time right there too, especially now you're
seeing more and more arrests happening Palestinian people. It's I'm god,
I just pray that. I don't know what's going to happen.
All I know is I'm curious to see what our
leaders do on this side of the equation, because there
is influence and you know that can be exerted over

(43:12):
certain policies. But yeah, it's just a there's there's a
lot of coverage of um this that mentions the possibility
of political violence being threatened by the right, which, like
that's not a small thing in Israel. Like a right
wing extremist murdered the most popular prime minister of Israel,

(43:32):
like assassinated him while he was in office. It's a
Rabin in for signing the Oslo accord, and like this
is and this was somebody whose politics are like line
up with b v net and Yahoo. Like it's it's truly,
I don't know, just another example of how the right
is allowed to use violence and the left is not.

(43:53):
Like if the left arms themselves and self defense, they're
seen as like radical extremists of the right assassinated a
political opponent, they then got their guy into power. Yeah,
I think that's the benefit of perception that the conservative
movements benefit from, which is that they're conserving what exists

(44:14):
that's a known quantity, progressive represent something that is new,
and growth, which inherently is unknown and leads to discomfort
because growth, you know, means change. But I think for
what all the bad ship that people who are quote

(44:35):
unquote conserving things will I actually do with their power.
So yeah, it's I think until people can you know,
sort of abandoned what these things mean just to look
on its surface, like, are what they talking about? Does
that include people or exclude people? Because I like things
that include everybody. If if you're talking exclusion at any level,

(44:59):
I mean aside from like laws or things like that.
We're trying to define what is something that is an
offense or whatever. But like, if your policies to help
are about including everyone rather than singling people out or
excluding or whatever, I think we have to move towards that.
Are we opening our arms for like a bigger you know,
hug of society to bring more people in under the

(45:19):
safety net of like what our our systems can offer.
Are we trying to push people out? And I think fundamentally,
if people can't start seeing for that, then we're just
gonna get caught into this. You know, the cliches are conservatives.
All right, let's take another quick break and we'll be
back to talk about Jeff Bezos. And we're back. Do

(45:51):
you guys see the SNL hosted by Jeff Bezos over
the weekend? That was pretty like what's stopping that from happening? Really?
His desire? Yeah, he would be as long as what.
Once he's up to his desires, like muscle mass, he'll
manager He's like, I'm not ripped enough yet, like six

(46:14):
more weeks. Anyways, Jeff Bezos dropped a video in which
he explained that he is going to ride to outer
space on the first human space flight of his like
fake NASA company with his brother Blue Origin Baby. That's

(46:34):
his brother's name. Yeah, he was named by Elon Musk.
Elon Musk had the naming rights his brother Trent. Is
that true? No, No, it's his brother's name, park dude,
Trent basis um so. Yes. This is his announcement video
to say, hey, I'm doing this and it's it's I

(46:56):
don't know, I don't know why he chose to put
this out, but this is what happens when a billionaire
and you can do all kinds of cool cowboy cosplay.
Did you see the Earth from space. That changes you.
It changes your relationship with this planet, with humanity. It's
one Earth. I want to go on this flight because
it's the thing I've wanted to do all my life.

(47:19):
That's an adventure. It's a big deal for me. I
invited my brother to come on this first fight because
we're closest friends. I really want you to come with me,
would you? Are you serious? I think it would be meaningful.
I wasn't even expecting him to say that already, Like
you're like, am I supposed to like pretend to think

(47:41):
of like, oh, Jeff Bezos gets to do that thing.
He wanted to just do a little boy and be
with his brother. I don't like it. Sounds like he
was drunk right there when he asked his brother just
wanted to go dude serious? Yeah, human guy? Yeah, yeah, yeah,
let's just let's just let's just kid shooting later. You

(48:04):
know what? You know, what, did you go to space? Serious?
Right now? I'm dude, I was. I thought about it.
I'm gonna be honest you. I thought before I started
this beer, like I thought about it yesterday. I just yeah,
it just gave me the strength to tell you my
dream right now. But like alcohol is, you don't make

(48:24):
things up, like you say what's in your heart? Yeah,
like that's all I'm doing right now. Like I'll admit,
like alcohol is making me saying, um, but I want
to go to space with you. Oh I thought you
were gonna finally say you loved me and you were
sorry for all the things that I love space Jeff.

(48:45):
But yeah, the video goes on where his brother is
time and it's like a great experience and like it's
trying to I don't know it. It's hunting because comics. Yeah,
it's like an attempt to humanize. If you're Jeff Bezos,
there's a lot of ways where you left that sentence.
But wouldn't you feel like a billionaire probably future first trillionaire.

(49:06):
It's hack of me to go to space. Like every
dystopian utopian, uto, dystopian rutopian comic Bond, it's all that
the guy wanted to go to space. If they all
want to go because they feel like they've conquered this world, right,

(49:28):
but now they want to go to space, I would
just be like I can't. If I would be like,
first of all, here let's fix poverty, then I would
be like, Hey, uh, I can't go to space. That's hack.
I can't space attack. But I can't it, isn't it
kind of hack to do it? Yeah, that's why I
My first instinct was like, this is the inciting incident

(49:50):
for a hilarious comedy about Earth's the richest man blasting
his little arrogant ass up into space and never coming back.
And was like, what do we doing? His billions? There's
a mix up with some like janitor at the at
the place where they shoot it off and his brother,
and somehow the janitor ends up in his brother's suit

(50:11):
in the rocket and they don't find out until they
take off, and then he's now he's there trapped in
this like capsule together trying to make the way back.
Oh so yours is a buddy comedy where Jeff like
they're they're working stuff out in space. Mine is he's
he's tragically lost in space and then some other guy
ends up being the beneficiary of his fortune, like a
King Ralph type situation. I've been trying to work on

(50:33):
fear in my life and fear based decisions and and
things like that, But like, if I was all again,
if I'm Jeff bass. I was like, I can't. This
would be how I die, Like it's I've worked at
all life so well into my favor that if I
go into space, I'm gonna blow up like that, can't
I just wouldn't risk it, Like I'd be like, no,

(50:55):
this is because of course that's how I do, like
my own mida touch, I would I would tell by
my own ability to do too many things. Yeah, exactly.
That's There's the more upsetting one aside from his like
city slickers cosplay that he shouldn't say that he's wearing
a cowboy hat, and I get he's from New Mexico,

(51:17):
Like there's just something like a little too like folksy
about it. But on the thing that upsets me even
more is he sounds like a guy who doesn't realize
he's one of the most hated fucking people on the planet,
and that eats me up inside. But I think this
is an opportunity. I think this is this is the
first time that I've fully seen that he wants to

(51:38):
be liked by people, or that that matters to him,
that he wants us to think what he's doing is cool.
Somebody needs to immediately conduct a poll that tells him, hey,
that he's despised, right, like we need the mean girl,
this motherfucker into ending world hunger. And then yeah, like
I follow up, like, what what would make you like

(52:01):
him more? Oh? Ending world hunger, ending poverty. Okay, two
thirds of his fortune away? You guys, I thought about
that too. I feel like we might have talked about
this at some point in the last couple of years,
Like you could be like a literal superhero like Batman.
If Bruce Wayne was the bat Like if if Batman

(52:23):
was just Bruce Wayne doing like great things like you,
you could do it all? Could you really could? Right?
I literally think we talked about this in studio once
and we said, like every god damn state would have
every high school named after you if you wanted to
just help out, But would you could potentially you could

(52:47):
like replace Jesus Christ as a messiah figure for people.
They're like it wasn't did? Yeah? Paid for everything I have?
We have no medical bills anymore, My my children be educated.
I have a living wage. Remember that episode of Last
Week Tonight where they bought medical debt and then forgave
it on there and people people by association just the

(53:11):
idea of John Oliver and his producers and HBO, like
just the idea of people doing that for people that
wasn't even the ones who had their debt forgiven. Just
the idea that he had done that for people like
Americans lost their ship, being like, could you imagine, Like
it's amazing that they bought that debt and then just
forgave it that wasn't even they didn't even better them
watching it or being in the studio audience. Could happy

(53:34):
Honda days the universe like the universe, the entire listen
to those radio commercials and yeah, Broy, I'm Jeff Bezos.
You know, I've kind of messed up a little in
the beginning, but I hear to make things right. You know,
you guys are getting under school and not just a school,
everything in it, getting everything, And we're gonna teach the
sixteen nineteen project top to bottom. You're all critical race there.

(53:58):
Oh my god, you bought able water and you get water.
You he's drunk. He's going it podible but sorry, collaborate
with audible. But like the other thing is, yeah, it's
just I I was talking to somebody over the weekend
who's like, if you could meet anybody, like face to face.

(54:19):
Who would you mean? They said, They said some celebrity,
and I said, bro, I want to meet. I want
to I want to be in Jeff Bezos's grill. Yeah,
that's what I want. I want to look him. I
want him be like, oh God. You would probably ask
him so many questions that sounded rhetorical that you would
want answers to. Yeah, And I like, no, I legitimately
need to. I want to know this. Are you know?

(54:41):
What are you going to do with all this money?
For real? What are what do you think is gonna happen?
Do you understand that people completely dislike you because you're
looked at this maniacal wealthholder who is just doing this
for his own, you know, his own jollys and extracting
all this wealth and hoarding it like I feel like
he's one of There's a certain level of insulation. A
lot of these people get that. It completely collapses their

(55:02):
ability to think critically and they're just stuck in accumulate, accumulate, accumulate,
build monuments to my space fantasies, rather than I have
the ability to actually do good on Earth. Unfortunate things
set up where I was a guy who became a
I could siphon out all this money, but in the
same way, why not give it right back? Why not

(55:25):
do that? Why not create outcomes on earth that are
positive rather than what outcomes can I create to create
more customers? Right? And yeah, it's the brain that in
the first place. Having a brain that is capable of
amassing that amount of wealth without like just breaking or
like having you like have I bat like shipt yourself

(55:48):
to death or something like that is what makes that
like it If we could just have somebody with the
normal uh like functioning form of empathy that could hit
that amount of money. But I think that's like a
contradiction of terms. And if you're a giver, you would
have never gotten to that level. And then now you

(56:11):
can look at all your money is just it just
reinforces the fact that you were right this whole time. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.
All right, let's talk about what hit at the box
office this past weekend. A Quiet Place To continues to
do well, but The Conjuring, a new movie from the
Conjuring Universe. It was the number one movie at the

(56:32):
box office. It made I think nineteen point five million
or no. Twenty four million over the weekend, which is
very strong for a post pandemic a weekend, and especially
for one that's a horror movie. And our writer JM
was pointing out that apart from Marvel, the Conjuring movies

(56:52):
have been basically the most successful cinematic universe of recent years.
They've made I think over a billion dollars. There's been
three Annabelle films, the none the Curse of Loa Lorna
or La Na Laurona, inspired by Mexican folklore, and so

(57:13):
the very first, the very first Conjuring movie is based
on a haunted house that they blamed on one of
the witches from the Salem witch trial. And these movies
are based in a universe where that was not an
act of mass hysteria. Mass hysteria and like fanatical mass murder.

(57:35):
It was completely justified that we're all we're always just
beset on all sides by demons, and yeah, it's just
shot through with conservative politics. And it follows this married
couple who are like this good folksy Christian couple that
goes from one place to the next, one haunting to

(57:59):
the next, fighting, fighting the devil. Well when the first
movie came out, Warner Brothers hired a company specifically to
sell the film to Christian audiences. And when The Curse
of Lijorna actually uh, when it came out, it actually
used Mexican healers for spiritual cleansings before screenings. What yeah, yeah,

(58:21):
like literally hard. So it's it's trading on this thing,
like this is really hot and they keep you know,
every one of these is like based on the horrifying
true events. Um, this new movie is based on what
they're claiming is a true story about a dude who

(58:41):
murdered as landlord after the landlord got drunken threatened a
nine year old girl, and his defense in court was
that the devil made him do it. The judge would
not allow that, was like, no, no, the devil did
not make you do it. But in this they like
take it very seriously. And Jay I'm also pointed out
that so they made their name on the Amityville Horror,

(59:04):
which if you're familiar with that story, like the person
who initially publicized that came out and was like, yeah,
we did that as like a joke, uh, as like
a money making It was a real estate agent and
a lawyer and the real estate agent was like, how
could we get people to actually buy this house? And
he says that, like they were three bottles of wine

(59:26):
deep and came up with this idea and then brought
in exactly and brought in this ghost hunting couple. Yeah,
so the movie is kind of hinge on this wholesome
Christian marriage. The dad actually began a relationship with a child, uh,
fifteen year old when he was a school bus driver.

(59:47):
She was taking his school bus to school. He was
in his thirties. Uh, he started relationship with her and
moved her into their house, where she lived for four decades.
And the cops were tipped off and arrested the girl
when she was a teenager. And that's the real life
of this couple who are people or whatever. But America

(01:00:10):
just desperately wants this ship to be true. Like there,
I mean, you just look at the satanic panic that
like people are still in prison from that ship. Really
Oh yeah yeah, like yeah, I mean that's what capturing
the Freeman's was about. Like there's all all sorts of
like real accusations that are based on the idea that

(01:00:31):
like towns are secretly run by these and now we
have Q, you know, and people who want to believe
that like there are these satanic cabals that are secretly
running everything behind the scenes. I've seen in mainstream like
kind of right wing, but like still like on the
front page of the Drudge Report, which gets more traffic

(01:00:53):
on the front page of the New York Times by
a lot, a bunch of articles about how like there's
been upticking exorcisms that you know. So I think, guys,
I've always wondered this, what makes someone think but just
because something's a demon that it is the yang to

(01:01:14):
Christianity ying? Right? Like why like if if even if
there was a demon possessed right and you go in
with a chruscifix and y'all this Jesus stuff, Like what's
what's to say that demon just wouldn't be like oh what,
oh yeah, no, I'm not part of the whole Christian thing,
like that doesn't there are demons if that would like
totally like they fight with Jesus. They got a whole thing.

(01:01:35):
But I'm my own, I'm like an independent I don't
like christ Fixes don't. It's like it's like you have
to and this is kind of what you're saying to
talk about these beliefs and stuff, like the demon itself
has to believe in the power of Jesus Christ like
so so they have to be part of the like
extended Christian universe in order to like have a supply

(01:02:00):
at all. Like why is Christianity always the answer to
something demonic or evil? Like what if it's just like, oh,
I'm not part of the Christian game. I'm I'm a
I'm a Buddhist demon. So unless you roll in here
with like Buddha, like nothing's really you know what I
mean hanging out here, which is that's why it's powerful, right,
because it is an entertaining, scary story with like fun

(01:02:24):
special effects, even when it was like just being told
you over a campfire, like it's like cool things happening
that like you can imagine your mind and and it
reinforces like a worldview that your entire society is based around.
And so it's like you know that that's it. Just
the audacity that every demon is the inverse of Judeo

(01:02:49):
Christian beliefs is like wild, but that helps reinforce this idea,
right that it's like, man, this Christianity is it's so potent.
You can fight fucking de means with this ship, right,
you do? You guys watch The Outsider last year on HBO.
I did not watch that one. Oh the what's his face? Yes?

(01:03:11):
And so in it there is like a monster like
almost like a demon like a monster, and it never
has anything to do there's no Christian like forces at
work element to it, because it's like, well, no, this
is a bad thing that lives in our world and
does bad things Jesus have to say about right, and

(01:03:32):
the thing, the thing is nothing. And I feel like
I'm very inarticulate and what I'm trying to say, so
I apologize, I keep sort of reiterating, but like it
just always befuddled me that I was just like, why
would how would you know that, like Jesus dying ish
two thousand years ago, like has anything to do with

(01:03:54):
this demon here? Yeah? Could you punk a demonologist and
like you to create You're like non watch there, They're
they're gonna think it's a demon. But what we're gonna
say is, oh, we we're atheist demons, right, Yeah, we're
not denominated, we're non demon and demon national father because
I have none, right, exactly the power of Christ Christ.

(01:04:20):
Oh no, what the rogue demon here? First of all,
we've got to educate this demon on who Jesus Christ
was and what Jesus Christ did for people, and then
they'll be afraid of it, right right, craft store and
you're like, oh, okay, huh, which is why like Ghostbusters

(01:04:41):
is great, because they were like, no, there's no holy water.
We just got to contain them in this cool little box.
We slide across the floor like that Proton packs. Man,
