K goes out to add Das Jose Reyes Jose Antonio Reyaz.
I think you've we've talked before because you have the
name of a great arsenal player, So thank you for
that Cheers inspired a k. One thing I did realize

(01:30):
when I was listening to this song last night. There
is a very odd lyric in there where one of
the things is like and your husband wants to be
a girl? Yeah, and you're like, what, it's a really
dark s song. Yeah, And I was like, okay, so
we're just doing that whole transpo. Okay, well, theme song.
This ties into my fan theory about Cheers, which is

(01:51):
that Cheers is actually about a sad bar, but it's
from the perspective of drunk people. So everybody is good
looking and funny at all times, so you're only seeing
it through their eyes. But because the theme song is
actually about like very sad alcoholism, it's like about like
you just like want to get away, so you leave
work and go hide out in a bar. Instead of

(02:13):
yeah it's dark man, it's dark. Well, we are throwing
to be joined our third teeth by the funny and
talented and somewhat confused stand up writer and actress Madison Shepherd. Hi, sorry,
it's a weird people that we open this pot. No listen,
I know the campaign. I listened. I listened to Caitlin
Toronto's episode which is great. I love her ak a

(02:36):
Latin dancwer u t I, yes, exactly. You can catch
me on an episode of her podcast, The Bechdel Cast. Yeah,
I love what the movie? Did you guys Talk Girls Trip? Oh? Yeah,
it was really good. It was a lot of fun.
It's a great podcast. And yes, we're going to get
to know you a little bit better in a moment.
But first we're gonna tell our listeners what we're gonna

(02:57):
be talking about today. We're just gonna be previewing the
coming week for you, telling you about the Kavanaugh hearing
that is going to be going down, things to look
out for. Also a murder case from the nineteen fifties
that could funk over the Mueller investigation potentially if we
have time to get to it. We're gonna talk about
a album that was surprised released at the end of

(03:18):
last week by an old white dude named Marshall Mathers.
We're gonna talk about climate change and an idea I have.
We're gonna talk about affirmative action. We're gonna talk about
how Trump is just a world class asshole to Jeff Sessions,
to his attorney general, to the Nation of Canada, we're

(03:39):
gonna be talking about California being out here just doing
the most legislatively talk how the North Korea talks have
stalled again. Given a little bit of an election preview slash,
an idea that occurred to me the other night while
watching the Florida Primaries. And we're gonna talk about the
latest trend in beverages in Japan. Why in and out

(04:02):
Burger should have always been boycotted? Fucking and out Burger.
It's not that good. And we're gonna do a session
of Bloyd Watch. But first, Madison, what is something from
your search history that is revealing about who you are
as a human being? Um? Recently, I've been googling Drake

(04:25):
a lot um and figuring out like I basically I'm
having like a thirteen year old boy band level crush
on Drake right now. It's a lot. I googled his
baby mama, her artwork Google. I was like, am I
a viable romantic prospect for Drake? How do I like?

(04:48):
I'm like, should I like get a print out a
photo of him and put it on my wall? It's
a lot He's right now actually my own background. I'm
having a problem. I just stand in that little white
like James Correct, Blaine Howlin Bling. I just you know
what I would happened? Why? Why suddenly? Because Drake has
been around. I mean I know, but I didn't really
funk with him, not heavy until like hotline Bling, and

(05:10):
then like something just switched to me. I think also,
like as a you know, dating woman in my thirties. Recently,
in the last couple of years, I've just been dating
a ton of mixed guys, like other people with my
same like racial background, and it's been very great. And
so I'm like, oh, man, like maybe I'm just like
obsessing about Drake because it reminds me of the dudes

(05:33):
I date. I don't know what's your racial background. My
mom's white, my dad's black. Okay, so you've been dating
a lot of black, half black, half white men. Correct. Yeah,
Drake is a loose term. Can I say that? I mean,
is that is it a little risky? Is there? Well?
You know, I mean, oh yeah, terrible shifty. I've never

(05:56):
found my found my black knees princess. But you just
have to come to it, you know, you know she's
out there. Yeah, Drake is the new Liam. It is
the new name that when you say it on a
playground with a bunch of two and three year olds around,
all heads turned Rakes, no swear to God. And it's
like white kids, like everyone is named Drake. It doesn't

(06:19):
matter Asian kids, right, yeah. Cool. So I mean I
don't think I get the sense like based on the
parents that they don't think they're naming their child after Drake,
but they don't feel like, oh it's a cool name.
It's a family and it's like, yeah, your family had
a lot of names. Yeah, so Drake very influential out here.

(06:42):
So how do you see yourself with Drake? Do you
think this will work? If I cheated recently and I
was like, I just want to get famous enough to Drake.
So if I could just make a little money, you
know what I mean, a little shine, I think it
could happen, right, you know what I mean? I think.
So I'm I'm gonna put on my vision board. I
believe in you. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know I think.
And he's already got the broken bags for you. You know.

(07:03):
When I heard that, I was like, oh, it's on.
It's so emotional, all the bags for my future wife.
I saw that interview I just you know what, I'm
just like, I'm at the starting line now every other
woman in the world reciting that they're going to that
broken Bag collection is for me, I mean popular line

(07:24):
of bags. What is something you really give a ship?
I have spent a lot of time researching those bags.
Why you over here? They're very expensive, They're very expensive there,
and they are a bag that you can go into
the store and be told sorry, we don't have the

(07:45):
bag for you. For you judgmentally, Yeah, so it's pretty crazy.
What is something you think is overrated? Um? Going live
on social media? I think it is really overrated. Um
number one one. Most people don't have the poll to
draw to like have us to benefit from it. I
watched her friend go live and it was just him

(08:06):
and his boyfriend walking in Miami, and it was just
me like literally, I was like we could just be
face timing. I'm just, oh, show me what's over there,
just like you know, engaging. This is very dumb and
like unless you're like Cardi B or something like, no
one gives a ship about your going live. It's you
remember the first time you ever went live? Because I do,
because it was the same thing where I did it,

(08:27):
and like three people showed up and I just got
so embarrassed myself as turned it off. I was like,
no, no no, no, no, that did not go out out
of it. I don't. I try to go live at
the Women's March in d C. But um, conveniently there
was no cell service. Um could not get a signal
thing sprint. But I've never actually gone live so philosophically
post you know what, I just have self respect, you

(08:50):
know what I mean, Like I actually like I want
to protect the brand a little. Yeah, you don't let it.
Don't let them see everything. I mean, they already see
my low like levels, you know what I mean, Like
they don't need to be reminded it another form like
oh she's really ancient, you know. Can they see how
many people are joining them on the live stream? Yeah? Everybody?
And I just I feel a certain amount of judgment

(09:11):
when I even get an alert that like this person
is going live, I'm like, what the fund do they think?
It's never somebody, It's never somebody wanted to be live.
Come on, man, And whenever Merrow goes live, is just
him smoke a weed in his basement, right. But I'm
also like but then I watched and I'm like, man,
I will watch like favous people's lives, but I don't

(09:32):
want to see my friends live. Yeah yeah, yeah, in
general they're not famous. People keep doing it our friends.
We shout out to my friend Rom who was at
a at a wee spot in Korean town and went live.
It's like, and it was so fogg like you wrought
your phone in the steam room. He does the most.
What does the weed we spa we Korean scotta gotta gotta.

(09:54):
I just assumed it was some cool weed thing that
I didn't know. The probably in the bathtub A million
dollar idea, you know what? Yeah, we just a it's
a VC money from uh ma. What's something that's underrated?
Something that's underrated? Um is McDonald's soft serve ice cream

(10:15):
UM number one as um. You know somebody who's lactose intolerant.
It's the only ice cream that's like not specifically like
non lactose that I can actually eat because guess what,
it's not made with anything. It's made of nothing. I
never get sick when I eat it, and so like,
I feel like it needs to get its props. Frozen
sugar water based basically. I mean there might be, but

(10:37):
like I've never gotten sick from eating it, you know,
very calorically dense either, Like it's pretty, it's pretty fluffy,
it's mostly air. It's quote unquote frozen yogurt. You know
what I mean. That's what that's what they claim, right, Yeah,
donald Do you ever do the thing where you just
get the soft serve ice cream in a cup and
then you get the apple pie and then you just
fucking fun the ship up in a cup and eat

(10:59):
it like one don't smoke wheat? So I know, yeah,
my god, I know a man do so many kinds
of menuacs in McDonald's at me, the mix surf and turf.
Do you do mix? Yeah, they'll do that for you.
I don't. I don't like to. I don't want them
to know him. Like, I got a lot of kids
back here. I gotta feed and right, and take a

(11:20):
double quarterback Wi cheese And you get a filet fish
and you open it up and you put the fish
square patties a fish kind term call it the fish square,
and you put it in between and then you have
it's just a filet fish sucking disgusting. It is it
is it is. But again, you don't smoke wheat, right,
so when that happens, the bar vanishes. That's real what

(11:41):
I get at McDonald's as I always get the caramel Sunday,
but with a caramel on top and the bottom. And
I'll do that for you. Yeah, yeah, because they want
me to get diabetes. Do you want your teeth in
ten years? Probably not? Like how's your foot? How's your foot? Yeah,
you're all right, sugar foot. Um. There is a strong, small,

(12:06):
silent cult following for the filet of fish that I'm
just kind of learning about, where like I'll hear one
person say it and then like one other person in
the room will be like, oh oh oh yeah, like
just but I need to try it again. I think
I haven't had it since I was a kid. It's disgusting,
but I love it. It's really great. It's not really

(12:27):
fish either. Well it's Alaskan haddock is what they call it.
On haddock Yeah, yeah, you're not going to find that
on any sushi menuth no, no, but or pollock maybe
or whatever. I mean, it's like whatever the general whitefish
they use for that, right, They make it seem like
it's sustainably farms or in the lab. Yeah. Uh, Finally,

(12:49):
what is a myth? What's something people think is true
that you know to be false. Um, there's a myth
that goes around that's pretty prevalent, um that Ellie has
no culture. And um, you know, on one hand, I
don't want to tell you that, yeah, we do have culture,
because then like you'll keep moving from wherever the fun
you're from and ruining my city. But also like, actually

(13:10):
it has a ton of culture. It has a lot
of museums and gardens and food and entertainment, Like whatever
the fuck kind of entertainment you want, you can get
it at any time. Basically, Um, I think there's a
lot of culture here. There's outdoors, Like there's just outdoors culture.
That is definitely something I just made up to prove
my own point. But like there's like all sorts of

(13:32):
like hiking out But when I hear outdoors culture, there's surfing,
there's you know, there's so much. What do you think? Wait,
so what do you think is the critic? When people
say culture, you think it's usually tied to like, well,
you don't have museums, yeah, but we do have our
Well I think they're comparing us to New York, which
is an older city than us. What it means, one
of the first cities in the United States, so of

(13:53):
course it's going to be different from this, Like you know,
under hundred year old city. New York is like hundreds
of years old. So here's the thing. So everything out
here is really well preserved. So even though it's a
young city, like a lot of the houses are like
from the early nineteen hundreds and ships, so there is
like some time to it. It's not like it was
built on a grid from the eighteen hundreds like New York.

(14:15):
I think it's just a weak as attack on l
A for l A haters. But man, you read like
a New Yorker article about the opening of the Gary
Museum and they're just like throwing so much shade, like
a for a city with zero culture. And it's like
there's like literally a Twitter blog that like just has
quotes from the New York Times shading l A. And

(14:38):
anytime they write about us, they're just like hateful about us.
They're just mad because their tackles are trash. That is
so true. And you know it's funny. I have friends
who are like born and raised Angelino's who have moved
out there and lived there for like maybe ten years
at this point, and I go out there and they're like,
I found the spot, and I'm like, yo, I gotta
take your card. Are not from l anymore? You think

(15:01):
this is a taco? Yeah? Like they put pineapple on
the out past store, like, was it grilling from the top?
Has it been there the whole time? Were they taking
dull pineapple snices? Just resting that on disgusting? They just
opened the can and yeah, no, it almost is. And
I was like, I was surprised. Yeah, I mean, look,
granted they have you know, their pieces good too, but
Tacreek food. I mean, we have a real we lack

(15:23):
Greek food that I'll give to New York because the
Greek food in New York is like out of this world.
Yeah yeah, that Queens that everywhere, but in Queens where
all the main Greek diners used to be. Yeah, Story
shout out to them, Yeah, shout out of Story. Oh
my god, you don't get enough shine. But I see you.

(15:43):
You know, we never had those Greek themed coffee cups
that they have out their food neighborhood of Story, Yes
it is. Yeah, Alright, let's get into the stories. Something
that's coming up this week the Kavanaugh hearing. He is
the least popular Supreme Court nominee with the public, according
to pulling, and that usually usually like the three other

(16:04):
least popular where people who did not get approved during
their hearing, we'll see you could be the guy who
helps Trump if anything goes to the Supreme Court about
presidential power. It's like you saw this move from the jump,
Like what the reason was. Yeah, because McConnell was like,
just don't select Kavanaugh because he has the biggest paper

(16:27):
trail and that's gonna, you know, slow things down. And
but Kavanaugh was the dude who had that presidential power thing. Yeah,
you know. Well, and I think when they were talking about,
you know, when Kagan was being confirmed, they got of
the documents that like she handled it at the White
House and with Kavanaughs like something less than ten. Yeah,

(16:47):
because there's just too much you know, he had his
hands on all kinds of ship during the Bush administration
that they're like, let's make sure, you know, like they're
hiding so much ship and that's why everyone's being like,
what are they hiding? You only with the documents and
that I think at the very least, if they want
to have some semblance of like equity here, at least
let everybody review the documents. But that just shows you

(17:09):
how underhanded this whole process is. What if they're just
hiding like Kavanaughs crayon drawings of George W. Bush, you
know what I mean? Whatever, it's like really nothing but yeah,
but something but something. Yeah. Apparently the like preparations they're
going through, they're doing like mock hearings and like staging
fake protests. Don't let this get you off your game

(17:30):
when suddenly people are, you know, like pulling your card
about you know, X issue or whatever, or inevitably when
people will be there to protest because this is a
Supreme Court seat they stole again. And the Democrats are
seemingly like, okay to kind of pretend like they're going
to oppose him, But there's been a lot of people
are like, Okay, we had a good conversation. No one's

(17:51):
gone full out being like no, I will not vote
for him, or yes, I will vote for him, but
I don't know. We'll see the math. The Republicans have
the votes, right, so what they had fifty but I
think with John McCain passing away, not it's fifty seats,
is that which is enough? Right? Yeah? Yeah, So I
mean they needed defection for him not to get nominated,
and who knows if that's going to happen. It seems

(18:14):
like it might just go down party lines. Yeah, but
we'll see another story that's kind of a strange story
with implications on the Mueller investigation. So there's this murder
case from the nineteen fifties. It's a weird case. There
was a Columbia University professor who had a paper coming
out that was critical of the true Hillo administration. I

(18:38):
guess in the is that the Dominican Republican regime. Yeah,
the regime, yeah, not administration regime. And uh, he suddenly
disappeared and is believed to have been murdered by his regime.
And now there are questions as to whether the CIA
was complicit in that because the CI, it was, you know,

(19:01):
tied up in all sorts of Central and South American
strong men and you know, keeping them in powers and
strong so that no socialists came to power. Obviously we
would not want that. So there's now a legal battle
and it's basically they're trying to keep subpoenas from this
case under wraps, and there's a chance that if they

(19:26):
say that they can't have any report or an impeachment
inquiry with a judge, that they would basically set precedent.
If Republicans still control the House after the mid terms,
then mckeever's case could be super important because there was
a law that allowed independent councils in the eighties and
nineties to send reports to Congress, which that was what

(19:49):
happened with Clinton's impeachment, but that law actually expired in
so it basically means that depending on the findings in
this case, it could mean that we never get to
see the Mueller report, and Congress doesn't even get to
see the Mueller right. Yeah, but if the Democrats have
a majority, then they could subpoena it and traditionally get

(20:11):
their access to it. But yeah, it's it's interesting how
even these things, all because a CIA agent might have
been on True Hero's payroll, ends up being some kind
of a threat to people getting the information about Mueller's
findings right now. Granted, people are saying that given the
current administration and the way things have leaked during the
Trump administration that even if the Mueller Report was not

(20:35):
able to be officially released, there's like a chance that
it would be leaked. We don't know that for sure
because Mueller is pretty buttoned up, but you know, this
report would be released to some people, and those people
would probably leave. Do you think that Meryl Street will
also star in the movie about that? You know what
I mean? I am? Has that been afflict in that movie?

(20:57):
Am I crazy? Am I confusing it with our I am? Yes? Oh? Yeah, yeah? Sorry?
Tom Hanks, Yeah, Tom Hanks, the other white man, Tom Hanks,
Ben Affleck of the eighties, lightly older white dudes. So
that's Banana Town. Yeah, it's wild, but you know, it
all makes sense. It all makes sense. The fifties was

(21:19):
a crazy time. I was watching that Wormwood documentary that
was sucking bunkers. What's the filmmaker's name who made Thin
Blue Line, Errol Morris. He made this like series for Netflix,
and it's all about this dude who was a government
scientist who they dosed with LSD and then he basically
started having second thoughts about all sorts of government programs

(21:43):
and then he jumped out a window of his hotel,
like you know, a week later and it's looking into
it and it's basically the government throw him out the window.
I haven't been killed. Hell of people also destroyed all
kinds of political movements as well, both here and abroad.
I mean, we're not shocked. Yeah, that's why I'm like,
of course it's the CIA, even like, hey, you keep

(22:04):
don't make it hot for us, of course, but then
that's gonna sunk this up. At the same time, they
started the hippie movement because if you ever read Electric
kool Aid acid test, the whole Kinsey Ken Kisi Crew,
uh and the like Mary Prankster's they first tried acid
because the CIA was doing like trials on people up

(22:27):
in Stanford and they like administered acid to them. They're like,
holy shit, where do we find this stuff? And basically
started the whole LSD movement and that was based off
of CIA tests and behind all the great you know,
drug transcra. Alright, we're gonna take a quick break, we'll
be right back, and we're back. And Eminem surprise released

(23:02):
he Beyonce at an album upon us at the end
of last week. Yeah, and just you know, he showed
everybody how insecure he is because Revival was a fucking
dumpster fire of an album, and this album is about
how Revival was a dumpster fire. And he's like, well,
just you guys know, but he does. I mean, it's
it's like an impressive gymnastics floor routine. Like there's just

(23:26):
like he's like, you know, doing all sorts of maneuvering
and you know, he is linguistically on point. But for me,
he's just like late career Eminem reminds me of late
career al Pacino in that like he's just always going
at like full throttle on it never sounds effortless. It's

(23:49):
like why are you screaming? Man? Like, why why are
you He's you know, in the time capsule because we
all know he still has like porn DVDs, right because
he doesn't know how he's the Internet and he woke
up in two thousand eighteen and saw how all these
young kids are, you know, to him quote unquote rapping,
so he had to clap back. And you know, the
one thing I'm just sort of disappointed is that he's
still using the F word, you know, like in his wraps,

(24:11):
Like come on, bro, like you gotta figure out a
new way to do this, and he's still defending that ship.
So in that way, throw it on the fucking tired pile.
But at the very least, it's like the last dying
farts of a capable MC just trying to be like
it sounds like he's trying to do new God like
rap God flow on like everything. Right, Yeah, exactly, it's
just but again he says that, you know, let's people know.

(24:32):
He's upset that people didn't think his objectively shit album
was good. Right, So yeah, I mean the Marshall Mather's
LP was really good. He only had two good albums, yeah,
and the first two and then it's been a bunch
of weird stuff and you know, and even then take
what you want. Yeah, literally haven't heard a single song
since that slim Shady song came out, right, But no,

(24:54):
and don't care. I'm slim Shady. Yes, I'm the realist
that one or my name is well, you know whatever,
they whatever, Yeah exactly. It's like one of those things
where there were albums, they're like, oh, those are albums,
and then every year there's like, oh, there's an eminem.
I thought he was retired. I didn't even this is
very important news. I guess back and terrible ladies and gentlemen.
He's back in scrim him. Uh. I didn't even let Aretha,

(25:17):
you know, just have her day. You know, I know
he's really from Detroit. He would have sat on that
album for at least week, right, but he was like,
I'm carrying on her legacy. That's what this is about. Yeah.
So the Aretha funeral was the end of last week
and amazing, and you know, with all the outfit changes

(25:39):
and the ankles being crossed, pretty dope spectacle. I'm worried
about that will though. Yeah, I'm wondering how much money
because like she's like known or it's a rumor that
might be true that she only got paid in cash,
and whatever money they gave her, you know, like two
thousand dollars or some crazy amount of whatever her big
lady paycheck was, she would take that and just strap

(26:00):
it to her tape it to her body. So I
want to know how much money is taped to the Yah. Wait,
you're saying like even now she was still taking only
cash payments. I mean, I mean now she takes a
you know what, but you know what I mean, Yeah,
she was like up until her like Dying Days only
got paid in cash. That's why she carried her out

(26:23):
onto the to keep the payment reach. Also towards the
end of last week, the New York Times lesser podcast
The Daily Knows That guys, just The Daily Uh, come on, guys,
released an episode about climate change that you know, it's
stuff that I kind of already knew, but you know,

(26:43):
it told the story of how clearly the science community
and the US government knew about climate change in the eighties,
and that there were these initiatives that were agreed on
by the entire science community, most of the government, other countries,
like the international community, and it was basically George H. W.

(27:06):
Bush and his chief of staff Johnson Unu, who just
were like, nah, fuck it, you can't do it, Like
we're not We're not going to let any of these
things go. And they have scientists on this episode just
being like this could have fixed it, We would have
like that would have been enough time to stop what
like yeah, I mean gradual global extinction event sloaded or

(27:30):
turned it around at least addressed it in a meaningful
way rather than like no, no, no, we're good, we're good,
we're good. Cut that check Acson mobile. Thank you. Imagine
if we had a bird scooters sooner, you know what
I mean, Like that could have been doped, There could
have been something lift, could have been around earlier. All
kinds of stuff like this is probably not a good take,
but it makes me wonder because because they're basically committing

(27:51):
generational like genocide, like for future generations, should Johnson un
news children and children's children and be put in prison now?
Isn't it bad enough that they have to have that
dumbass last night? Haven't they suffered enough? My guys, so
God saw from the jump, It's like yeah, I mean

(28:12):
I think there has to be some kind of reckoning
for climate change deniers for sure. I feel like, yo,
you just register right now. If you funk with climate change,
you can go to the parts of Earth that are
still safe for human life. And then people who want
to deny but like, okay, you can stay over this
dried up part or this place that is threatened by
rising sea rise and you can, you know, just take
that hell over there in peace and keep living in denial.

(28:34):
I mean, yeah, it is one of those things where
it's just going to have ramifications that are going to
be horrific for future. They should at least have their
assets ceased because they got rich off that. That's why
they did what they did, is because they were getting
rich off of it. So you know, they shouldn't be
able to spend that money. That money should go towards
rebuilding people's homes and poor parts of communities that just

(28:56):
get leveled by hurricanes. Right where. There's some grumble things though,
of like trying to try fossil fuel companies like with
crimes against humanity or something like that. It was an
idea that will never happen, but people are like, shouldn't
we do something? Excell on Mobile they were the first
to be onto this ship like the seventies. They were like,
oh yeah, this is not good. People are not going

(29:19):
to be into us in the future and decided to
do nothing about it. So come on, guys, come on,
we gotta figure something out soon. News Son is the
governor of New Hampshire, so that's dope. He's really he's
really paid the price. And another thing too, there were
some lawsuits that were trying to be brought against fossil

(29:42):
fuel companies that we were talking before around climate change,
but the local judges had to throw it out, not
because they were like this has no ground, is more
like this court doesn't necessarily have the jurisdiction to do that.
So is there an intergalactic court that we could like down.
So at the very LEAs stiff at that level, it's
being struck down. And I think that shows that there's

(30:03):
definitely a legal movement to keep this thing going, and
that there is movement moving in that direction of trying
to hold these fossil fuel compans and money. Yeah. Yeah,
that's what they care about. That's why they did it
in the first place, go after their money. So affirmative
action is back in the news because there is a
group that is suing Harvard basically claiming on behalf of

(30:26):
Asian Americans rejected by Harvard that Harvard has systematically discriminated
against them by artificially capping the number of qualified Asian Americans.
Harvard and a lot of Asian American communities are also
saying like that this group does not speak for us,
And so they're back in the news because the Trump
administration Department of Justice just sided with the group that

(30:50):
is suing two Basically they're trying to end affirmative action good. Yeah,
so that's cool. They're suing because they were capping the
number of Asian Americans, that's what they're claiming. And Harvard's
admissions board is claiming that just race is one of
a number of different factors that they take into account

(31:11):
when you know, considering an applicant. But they have not
provided like specific details of what their admissions policy is
or it can't be broken down into like a systematized,
detail based, like point based system. And they should probably
do that though, you know, in general, just to eliminate

(31:33):
any ambiguity, because then they have the defense like well,
that's like one of the other things, but like what
are those other things? Right? My mood like yeah, yeah, So,
I mean they are asking them to show their work,
and I think Harvard thought they did that to a
sufficient degree, and anti affirmative action people are claiming that

(31:55):
they didn't. But I mean a statement from a Harvard
alumni association set elimit aiding race conscious emissions would disproportionately
harm applicants of color, including some Asian Americans, And I
mean there are other forms of affirmative action that are
class based that like California and Washington State have tried

(32:16):
to engineer classes based on class based diversity. That is
also like important to take into account. So, like I
was just talking about that dude who was talking about,
you know, how the upper classes solutions for inequality and
all the problems that ail our government and our society

(32:38):
are rigged to keep them in power. And he was
talking about how people point to China and India over
the past couple of decades as examples of capitalism doing
good and you know, proving its worth because they have
like basically you know, shot up out of nowhere and

(32:59):
had this success. But he was pointing out that there's
a massive historic affirmative action program in India too, correct
for the historic cast system. Right, So like that's it's
a combination of these things. In America just thinks well,
capitalist will do will fix things. Doesn't take into account

(33:21):
human greed, Yeah a factor. Yeah, affirmative action. There are
examples of it being extremely successful and important in you know,
market economies and also in education. So let's talk about
what a world class asshole we have in charge of
the free world. Right, so we just do just say

(33:43):
whatever we want right now? Yes, all right? Uh funck
his hair. No, they're political has his story where. I mean,
we always knew that Donald Trump hated Jeff Sessions because
he he thinks the attorney general it just means the
I who will protect you from the law. I guess

(34:03):
it's like his idea, yeah, or like just guard dog
will be like any legal trouble. Apparently the attorney general
just helps you skate on all that ship. So they
were talking about, you know, if sessions recusal this is
from political was his original sin. Trump has come to
present him for other reasons, graping to aids and lawmakers
that the attorney general doesn't have the Ivy League pedigree.

(34:24):
The president prefers that he can't stand his Southern accent
and that Sessions isn't a capable defender of the president
on television, in part because he quote talks like he
has marbles in his mouth. Uh that's yeah. I mean, look,
leave legal sniggle alone, you know what I mean, Like
he's doing what he has to do. Also, no funk

(34:44):
that guy. But let's be I think what's funny is
the whole idea that he's like, oh, his Ivy League pedigree,
when Trump is nowhere even close to being any kind
of intellectual to be able to sort of throw that
around as an insult. Also, you know, Alabama has a
lot of supporters there. I'm surprised he thinks he's much
more well liked than I'm sure Trump is, but who knows.

(35:04):
I haven't really seen polling about that. But this whole
thing of him really hating him is it's just getting
more and more intense and intense and intense. Do you
think he's gonna get fired? Well, they think that it
probably won't happen until after the mid terms because they
don't want that to become another thing that will just
mobilize more people to vote against him. And like, look,
if you're gonna do it, wait for the blue wave

(35:25):
to crash on the Capitol and then go into full
panic mode because at that point all bets are off.
But you know, it's just Trump doing his little hate.
And there's another thing I was reading that Trump really
doesn't like his supporters because they're not like pretty people.
So this all fits into his you know, tortured world. Yeah,

(35:46):
I mean, he has that narcissism personality disorder where he's
just trying to fill a hole that can't be filled
with you know, with aga hats with the presidency of
the United States. He's still just like, why is Holly
would so mean to me? Um, but you're an asshole. Yeah,
but like the biggest asshole maybe in America, the best

(36:09):
at being an asshole in the country, potentially. There's also
the story where he basically said in a room full
of reporters to Bloomberg, off the record, I'm I'm really
fucking Canada, you know that, right, just like and they're like,
all right, I guess off the I mean, I'm gonna

(36:30):
report this. But that's so funny. Though, here's the problem.
If I say no, the answers no. If I say no,
then you're gonna put that and it's gonna be so insulting.
They're not going to be able to make a deal.
I can't kill these people, he said of the Canadian
government off the record. Canada's working their ass off, and
every time we have a problem with a point, I

(36:51):
just put up a picture of a Chevrolet Impaula because
the impala is produced at the General Motors plant in
Ontario and are so yeah again, off the record, they
came knocking on our doors last night. Let's make a deal, please,
But dude, this. He has such an issue of understanding
what off the record, on the record confidentiality agreement. He doesn't.

(37:14):
He just thinks like, Okay, off the record, Okay, I'm
gonna spicy, and this won't get out. Okay. So apparently
that was said to a Bloomberg reporter. They didn't report it,
but there are other people in the room who heard
it and then reported it. Now, I mean, there is
I guess, some sanctity to the journalistic integrity of you know,
to the off the record, But with this fucking guy,

(37:35):
I mean, it's it's it's so funny and sad, you
know what I mean. It's it's like you gotta laugh
instead of cry at this because who the what is
he like some kind of super villain like Canada? What? Yeah,
I'm just gonna hold a picture of the Impala. It's like,
this isn't a fucking loving hip hop reunion show, like
where you get all fucking messy like this. But he's Mr.

(37:57):
Reality TV, so I guess he really does think how
Like it's the kind of way that if you were
scripting out like a fun way, a shitty president would
act like it's this kind of stuff. And I think
he he's just like, yeah, I'm just gonna hold up
the picture and that will shut him up. Taman or
I said, taman, polish them to them too. Yeah, he's

(38:19):
gonna suck Australia as well. Oh shit, might better not.
So California is, uh, we're out here right now legislatively,
So what did they do so many fucking pieces of
legislation last week? So first, the state legislature passed a
trio of gun control bills that aren't necessarily revolutionary, but

(38:41):
we live in a time where common sense is revolutionary,
so let's call these revolutionary. I mean, first was a
bill that would be a lifetime ban on owning a
firearm if you've been convicted of domestic violence, because that
was you know, it used to just be like a
long period. It wasn't a lifetime band Now they're like
ship up, like nope, you can't do it well because
it's always an indicator of course. Yeah, you know, almost

(39:04):
all mashooters and that have some kind of history, absolutely,
and anyone it just who you know, commits a lot
like a like a murder with a gun typically, Yeah,
they have that that background. Then some of the other
bills that they that were passed was a lifetime ban
for people placed on involuntary psychiatric holds twice in one year,
and a new standard for residents who are trying to
get a concealed weapon permit, where you need like eight

(39:26):
hours of trying it used to. I think they're just
trying to be like, Okay, yeah, let's figure this out
a little bit more. So, Yeah, those will be things
that Governor Jerry Brown will most likely sign into law.
Those are all things that are surprising they don't already exist. Like,
I'm more scared from that story knowing that those things
didn't already exist. Well, California already did have very strict

(39:49):
laws for people who had assault charges or domestic abusers,
so that I mean, California has always had very strict
gun laws. But now, like with these lifetime bands, they're
trying to really do something. I know, I think Oregon
was probably the first state to really begin tightening up
their gun laws after Parkland. But it's good to, you know,
the liberal states kind of have to show everybody else
how to how to do shit, or at least keep

(40:10):
people safe. And then there was another bill for intersex children. Now,
this was a bill that wasn't necessarily an outright ban
on corrective surgery. So like for intersex children who have
genitaylor that is ambiguous, a lot of parents would elect
to have a procedure to correct any ambiguity, so they
resemble more cis gender children. Um, so this is California

(40:34):
kind of saying like, you know, we consider this, We're
condemning the practice and consider it to be a just
a violation of someone's human rights, because that should be
something a person with a little bit more age can
determine for themselves if they want to do so. I
mean not that it is a you know, a straight
up band, but it does signal to a lot of
doctors who do it, to say that California does not

(40:54):
agree with the practice and sees it as a humans
rights violation. The executive director for the Interact Advocates for
intersext Youth said, you know, it means for the very
first time a US legislative body has affirmatively recognized that
intersect children deserve dignity and the right to make decisions
about their own bodies just like everyone else. So, you know,
again not an outright band, but movement movement. We're're acknowledging

(41:18):
those things. And finally, one of the bigger things was
in criminal justice reform. Governor Brown signed a bill that
effectively ended the cash bail system for pre trial detention. Now,
a lot of people don't like the cash bail system
because it basically criminalizes you know, It's like when you
bail out so you like, you know, if you get
charged with something, they're like, well, we're gonna you're you're

(41:38):
gonna have to be detained until your trial. Most people,
if you have the money, you can bail yourself out
and you're just out there doing whatever the funk you
want until your trial. But if you're poor, a lot
of times you don't have money to bail yourself out.
Even coming up with five dollars. A thousand dollars is
too much to ask and essentially criminalizes poverty because then
even if you're in you're in pre trial detention, you

(41:59):
lose your job, you could lose your home. It just
snowball effects. And a lot of people said yeah, and
they're like, this is just the system where you're just
taxing people to get out of jail, and it doesn't
proportionately affect people, especially if you're wealthy. You see a
lot of people do horrible ship and like, yeah, I
could post a million dollars bail like the women you're out,
And I think that's the thing that you know, a
lot of people who are against the cash bail system

(42:20):
are trying to change. Now, he did sign the bill,
but it is imperfect, Like it's the bill started off
with being what a lot of criminal reform advocates are like, Oh,
this is a great bill, but over the years, over
the life because it was first introducing sixteen, it just
got watered down and watered down and now kind of
gives the discretion of judges to like it gives them

(42:42):
a little too much weight to figure out like what
a person's pre trial detention could do. So it would
shift it from a bail system to now like a
risk assessment system that isn't completely standardized, so people could
be using it, you know, like it could use like,
you know, algorithms that might disproportionately say that a person
of color is actually of higher risk because of these

(43:03):
other biases that are built into like the data that
it's using. So a lot of advocates are like, I
don't know, like this while it's good it also has
the possibility, like people from like the Union of like
public defenders have all said, because if they have this
broad power, it could mean more people actually end up
being detained before trial. So that's a bill that like,

(43:25):
you know, looked really good when it started, but at
least as a movement in the right direction, kind of
like how Obamacare kind of started off as being like
a good thing, but it just got so watered down
that it became a thing that it's well intentioned but
isn't quite fully addressing what the damage that could be done.
So California, Yeah, but a lot, a lot a lot

(43:48):
happening alright in California. We're gonna take a quick break
to just talk about how good we have it out
here compared to the rest of you. We'll be right back.
Don't move here, and we're back. And towards the end

(44:12):
of last week, I was listening to the crooked media
guys Johon Favreau and Dan whatever Fighter talk about why
Gillham won the primary, and it was basically like he
spent more on digital and ground game and less on
TV while his opponents, who were like the front runners
and had all the smart money behind them had all

(44:35):
their money on like TV ads and mailers, and it's
just it made me think because I've I think I
brought this up before, this idea of like an insurgent
mentality like that, like Trump's campaign had the insurgent mentality
where they were just like, you know, we're against the odds,
so we're gonna take any thing that we can get.
So yeah, Facebook wants to give me someone, sure, come on,

(44:58):
like come aboard and give us every advantage that we
could possibly get, whereas Clinton's campaign turned down someone working
from Facebook to embed themselves and yeah, And I just
feel like in general, Republicans have had so much success
lately when they should be fading from relevancy because of
demographic shifts, but they're working shrewder. They're doing their cheating,

(45:23):
but they're like like with fucking wild voters suppression, voter
suppression and like jerrymandering and all this ship they're using too,
But they are basically they're like, Okay, we have to
cheat to win. What are the ways that we can
get away with cheating? And I just think that there
are I don't know, we keep seeing these out of
nowhere candidates like Gilham Trump Sanders, and I think they're

(45:48):
they're the people who don't, yeah, Cortez, they are the
people who don't have the smart inside money on them
and so they don't have the consultant class just fucking
everything up. Me of if you read about the Civil War,
like the people who had generals on their side who
were really respected running their war, they were basically using

(46:10):
outdated like the guns the Civil War were a huge
technological leap and so they could shoot straight for the
first time, and so all generals who had experience and
wars were completely fucked because they were fighting an old,
outmoded form where you didn't know where the bullets are, right, yeah, exactly,
So they were like sending people charging and everyone was

(46:32):
just getting mowed down because they didn't know. So like
you needed people who had less experience and didn't really
who were just scrapping and making it up on the
as they went. And I feel like a similar thing
is happening with campaigns and with politics, where people who
have experience are spending money on TV ads and nobody's
watching fucking TV ads anymore. Man. I think the other

(46:54):
thing is that it's starting to show that the left
or at least that if you look at the Democrats
as a party, there's a huge caucus growing of real
progressives within it that is really developing now. Like again,
like you say, like this, the establishment class would look
at something in Florida and say, oh, well, Gwen Graham,
I think is their name is going to be the

(47:15):
one to win because all of these other things, And
I think it doesn't take into account that there is
a very large group of people who are redistered as
Democrats or vote for Democrats that are looking for something
much more progressive than the party is offering. I think
that's what these Alexandriaccio cortez Is and uh Andrew gillim
are showing that there's also this other thing that establishment

(47:37):
Democrats have to really take seriously because you're gonna have
to again, you're gonna start pandering to these people to
get a vote eventually. Um, and yeah, I think yeah,
like you say, there's nothing like being an underdog, especially
with elections, like you can just turn people out a
little bit more when they feel like there's something they like,
there's change that they can affect by voting. Yeah, we'll see.
But it's also just they don't know how to create

(47:58):
meaning in our culture and anymore. Like they're using an
old paradigm by doing TV ads, Like when was the
last time you saw a successful political TV ad? Like
the old Yeah, the only time you see it is
when they go viral for being terrible. It's like you
need a beto like giving an answer and a thing

(48:20):
to get filmed and like go viral. That's not a
TV ad though. The only TV ads I'm seeing are
people laughing at Ted Cruise's TV ads, right, Yeah, so
I don't know. Let's talk about Japanese crystal pepsi. Japan.
Japan has gone clear, dam gone clear? Yeah, because the

(48:41):
Wall Street Journal just put out a little piece talking
about how there's a huge push going on for more
clear beverages. So, like I remember crystal pepsi. I thought
it was the craziest shit because as a kid, cola's
are brown and suddenly you have the flavor and a
thing that looks like water. What was this fucking future?

(49:01):
Yeah that it was so crazy. So now Japan has
really started doing a little bit more like with all kinds.
So they have they have a Coca Cola Clear that's
like a lemon flavored zero calorie basically cola flavor, but no,
none of that brown color. Zero calorie but like a
thousand percent cancer. But look, it's a trade. I was
up to you, you you know, don't worry about how we
got the flavor in this clear beverage. A Sunury also

(49:23):
has like a tea with milk drink that is also clear,
and non alcoholic beer that I don't know, I mean
that is clear, it has the flavor of something like that.
You know. Again, I'm not saying every idea is good here,
but they're clearly trying to do this to sort of
like appeal to I think they're showing the consumers somehow

(49:43):
there's like something subconsciously that acts on you, like you're like, well,
if it's clear, it can't be that bad because water
clear and therefore blah blah blah, which could also be
the downfall of our bodies because everyone's just been like,
well it's clear, right, but I'm yes, I'm drinking five
thousand calories worth of s here a day. Or they've
been watching sharp objects and they see that you can

(50:04):
just disguise and anything as water if it's clear. So
you got that, like you got that, like just pouring
a lacroix, they think, but it's a beer. Yeah, I
don't know, but yeah, I think. I don't. I just
I'm definitely one of those people who's just based off
of the appearance of it. I'm like, I'm gonna try
this because I have to know that what this not

(50:27):
like the seemingly tasteless thing actually tastes like. Yeah, don't
try anything once. But you know, did you like crystal pepsi?
Oh yeah, of course for the flavor, for the I
don't even remember what it tastes like, but I remember
liking it and also really being into slap bracelets and
eating a lot of you know, nacho cheese. That was

(50:49):
the late eighties for me. If anybody wants to know
what the early nineties were like, they just need to
watch the Crystal Pepsi commercial with the Van Halen right
now on on it and like the text over like
profound images and uh it is dumb as ship. The

(51:09):
early nineties were done. That ship, Yeah, except for a
living color was kinda stupid. Yeah, living color so good.
Imagine if it wasn't living clear, you know what I mean?
Very different with all ex scientologists. Yes, um in and
out burger my almost. Hey, look you're you're an in
and out stand. Look I'm from California. In and out.

(51:35):
I've always said this. I think to me, for what
you get through a drive through is the best burger
you can have, right they drive through? Okay? Now, like
anyone who is growing up in California, you've noticed on
all the packaging, they are all kinds of Bible verses
printed on the stuff, like, you know, all underneath the

(51:55):
cups on the boxes or whatever. I think for most people,
In and I was always known as been a like
conservative company, but recently they're some of their donations were
made public and they think they gave like twenty five
to the state GOP. Not a surprise, but you know,
considering what the GOP fucking is now, like I think
it's easier to pretend like THEO was like, well, those
are just scared, you know, conservative people who aren't totally

(52:19):
racist overtly, And now that it's become this thing, it's like,
now that the GOP has completely turned themselves into this
other thing that should deserves really no respect at all.
Uh So a lot of people have been like their
boycotting in and out. I'm fine, with that. You know,
if you don't want to fun with in and out
because they're giving their money to the GOP and like
people like Devin Nounez who actually doesn't, that's up to you.

(52:40):
I don't necessarily think that's gonna fucking change anything based
on the amount that they're giving, Like they're not like
giving Baffo fucking money to like, you know, dark money groups. Yeah,
BAFO funds to the dark means like ship ton of
money fundraising right now, you should feel very young. That's

(53:00):
it's like what Variety says when the movie opens, big
boo boo boy. Nope is exactly. But again, you know,
it's like anything with the boycotting thing. I mean it
if you really liked at half the ship that you
consume every day, like you fucking have to wear homespun clothing.
Anybody who says I'm boycotting something, I'm like, well, why
don't you start with that fucking iPhone in your hands?

(53:21):
Toss that because people literally are slaving away from you
to use that. Don't shop at Fashion Nova, don't shop
at Each and M, don't shop at any of the
any of the junk food stuff that you own, and use, like,
get over yourself if you want to enact real change,
getting these streets, getting that ballot voting box thing or
whatever it's called, and uh sucking the booth. Yeah, stop

(53:43):
stop like making these public brandstanding. Yeah trying, man, Well,
none of your rights have been at stake. But I
think that for in and Out, the animal fries are
so good. I don't know. I'm not here to defend
what the funk they do, but you know, I think
it's one of those boy cots to where you look
at it and you're like, yeah, I can see why
you would be upset. Uh, but I've been in and

(54:06):
Out a long time. Yeah, they've should like today's street. Um,
we need a lot of shake shock. Recently, it's actually
very good too, shake shack something about it. And you
know that's because half the time when we talk on
the show about in and out, because there's many people
from around the country who don't have in and out,
so that I'm like, well, funk that place. I'm like, yeah,
you don't what to find whatever shake shocks looking better?

(54:30):
I'm sure, yeah, but shake shock cost three times more.
And you sit down in the place in and out,
you're on a road trip on the five and you
have to take a piss or whatever, get your animal
fries and keep it moving. I want in and out,
although keeping it moving is not They are good at
processing a large number of orders, but there's always a
long ass line. It's crazy with their hand cutting the

(54:52):
fries man. You know what I mean. Alright, guess it's
time for a little Bloyd. Brad pitt Is is just
the focus of all these tabloids out here, so we
wanted to give you an update that's not in the tabloids,
but is I think typical of a lot of celebrity charities.
He had a campaign called make It Right, where he

(55:15):
was building homes for people who had lost their homes
to Katrina in New Orleans because he lived part times
in New Orleans, and it was just his heart was
in the right place. But it wasn't like a well
overseen project and like timber and the buildings were not
treated like they skipped a vital part of manufacturing process.

(55:39):
And the wood is now like useless, warping and warping
and mouldy. There's all these houses have like muld problems.
So I don't know, like he if he had just
taken the money that he was putting together for this
and given it to a charity that already existed that
was building homes for people who lost their homes. It

(56:00):
then he can't just measure his big fat philanthropic dick
in front of everybody and be like, I've got twenty
six million. I got Frank Gary designed homes because it
was like on paper, like ship Frank Gary design a
house for these people, and they were selling it at
a loss, like making it affordable. And like he got
all these like high end architects to do this, and

(56:21):
but some of them like what's that falling water house?
Who's what's the Frank Wood right? Frank Wood right? Like
that house is full of leaks. I went there like
hours ago. Yeah, he was like not a good builder.
He just it was all about vision. But he didn't
give a funk about that house house leaking everywhere. And

(56:44):
his house here is also in disrepair, by the way,
and he's like to be renovated. And to the tune
of millions of dollars, which house is his house? Um,
the one that's in across from the Barnsdell Park Like yes, no, no, no, no,
but it sits they like sit right across each at
least it looks like an attack. It's always like a

(57:05):
bad guy's layer. Yeah, it's it's needs like millions and
millions of dollars rendovation. Damn. I will say that Falling
water Fall is like my dream home. There is there's
a room in there that is like the coolest room
I've ever been and where there's like stairs that just
go down into the river and it's fucking dope. Uh damn.
But all kinds of repairs. Yeah, but this is the thing,

(57:27):
like you know, it's a glam It was a glamour
project for Brad Pitt. I mean again, your heart is
in the good place, but you wanted to do it
in a way that he was the focal point of
like look at me saving the lower ninth Ward of
New Orleans with all this, you know, philanthrope. So these
trendy designs. He got these high end architects and one
of them was a little too sleek and it had
a flat roof that was like part of the vision,

(57:48):
and that started leaking because the water didn't drain right,
and so there was just all sorts of problems. It
was like a cool idea that. Then it turns out
he should have just given his money to act wool
charities that were actually like doing the grinding out the
work a day, hard work to give people roofs over
their heads or roofs. However, that is him just pretending

(58:12):
to support black people, you know. I mean, yeah, I
feel like he probably in a way. I just think
it was one of those things where his narcissism completely
clouded his ability to do good, and in that way,
just fucking let that ego go, you know what I mean,
just drop cut a check for twenty six million anonymously.
But guys, I mean, look at that face. He is
on the cover of in Touch magazine with this faceture

(58:33):
from photos shops. Yeah, I guess that's so. It's a
picture from twelve years ago. However, many long years dragon lately.
I don't know if you've seen him, old man, this
is he would he wishes he looks like these photos
from two thousand three. Yeah, um, but there Yeah, Brad
and gen honeymoon in Italy is the cover. Yeah, there's
a picture of her with somebody on the beach, and

(58:55):
then his head is photo shopped on and just not
very well either. Why do they keep I don't understand
that we do this almost every week where they're like
they're married, they're moving in together, they've been married, they're
about to get married, they've had their honeymoon. Bread and
Jen honeymoon in Italy, but like there's no photographic America

(59:17):
wants them to fun you uh, for some reason they
I mean, that's the only explanation that I can come
up with is just it is our secret biggest desire
is for Jennifer Aniston and Bread Pitt too. They're trying
to conception, but that ship the repetition you think, can

(59:38):
they have children? I feel like they're both a little
of it at least I don't know. I mean, I'm
sure the next one will be like, oh and Jen
can still have kids. She's invested all of her friends
earnings and invest all of her eggs and if somebody
else's over children, um, just just let you know, let
that one die. Yeah, well before you know, I mean,

(01:00:01):
there's is just like the how many papers have they
sold using that? You know what? I mean, there's so
much money in it that they're never going to stop.
It doesn't even make sense where I'm like almost like
if you're still buying it because you think that's the
reason you're buying it. We should just ship you to
the same place we're putting these climate change deniers. I
wonder what in touch it looked like, or how itself
it has someone be like, do you deserve a living wage?

(01:00:22):
Like rather than like Jen and Brad or fucking getting
a honeymoon in Italy? Would that move the needle? Well,
they hate Angelina Jolie so like that's the other thing
is that because she broke up their number one couple. Uh,
she is just constantly headline Angie's wasting away. Yeah, she

(01:00:42):
was very ill for a long time. Probably don't, but
they're trying to make it look like she's just some
like her bones are so brittle they're breaking and blah
blah blah. It's just, you know, the the toxic culture
of these celeb rags. Although I had a boss who
worked in entertainment who said the actually the only one

(01:01:03):
that kind of tells the truth is the National Enquirer. Like, weirdly,
if you read it in an Enquirer, there actually might
be a good chance that it's true. We've talked about
this client stuff will get in there. And she's like,
how the fun like people lose their jobs over right,
We've talked about them a lot. I think the one
thing they're good at is knowing the state of someone's health. Yes,
that's the one where they like, they see Mike has

(01:01:25):
come out of left field like months before, and they're like,
also affairs, a political affairs, What was that one? John Edwards?
John Edwards, they fucking crack that. Also, Barack Obama's O
fair when he went fair with Barack Obama had a
yes when he was on the campaign trail to be
a senator, and the National Enquirer covered that too. I
didn't even know about that. Yeah, well that's because he

(01:01:47):
had Michael Cohen by that story. Yet, there seems to
be a political turn overall, like now that David Pecker,
who owns all of these magazines is no longer Team Trump.
There is a cover story about how Laura Ingram is
like mean basically that which it just seems like they

(01:02:09):
just started paying attention for the first time. They're like,
Queen of Mean is going to get fired by Fox News,
so they woke. Yeah, they have movie on the cover,
like The Secrets, why is this managed? You and the
only other big story is that Jen and Ben back
together another Jen, Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck are supposedly

(01:02:32):
moving back in together. It's really just an excuse to
show more pictures of his hungover ask getting Jack in
the box picked up on his way to rehab. And
so they're saying that the person writing Shotgun with Jenn
Garner is the is the lawyer is her lawyer. So
you know, I want to do some things like, Yo,
don't act up, Ben, I have my lawyer here, like

(01:02:55):
he also might have the same lawyer. Yeah, although are
they trying to get back to get That's what they're
trying to say. Yeah, that's what they're trying to say.
Is this is them mending. I'm sure it's just more
she once what's best for her kids, and it's good
for them. She don't have a sober father. She also
might actually care about him too as a person, You
know what I mean. It's like, if you know somebody

(01:03:16):
is sick and they're trying to get better, why wouldn't
you if you ever love them, you want to support that,
even if it means JBO in the daytime, daytime, JBO.
You know, Yeah, Laura Ingram too mean for TV. You guys, Fox,
Femme Fatale facing firing squad in the building, get a

(01:03:39):
and ap lit. Yeah it is really Ingram's recent anti
immigration rant on her show, The Ingram Angle earned the
praise of David Duke, and they're treating that like a
bad thing. Who means to just be shout out to
you to TV too racist fucking goblin. And okay, we
also have I don't know how I left this one
out breaking motherfucking news. Ben Ladden is alive in US prison,

(01:04:06):
Holy sh it. And we know it because they have
a photograph of someone with their back to camera who
has a beard but doesn't even look like the same
build as Ben Ladden. So yeah, hold your breaths. Yeah,
so check that out. They love a good scandal, they
do any other stories. People, You think Benn is going

(01:04:28):
to replace Elvis as like the new person who's been
alive for all these years I think was still alive.
Oh yeah, how old would Elvis be right now? Um,
I don't know that's right. Elvis would be He was
born in nineteen thirty five, so he would be eighty
three years old. That's not as old as that would
have thought definitely still still could have been around, still

(01:04:51):
could be around. He's still he still around, Madison, It's

I don't know if you saw the Aretha Franklin funeral,
but Ariana Grande saying there for some reason, God knows why.
Not sure why, because she was like, there are people
like Fantasia and Jennifer Hudson. I'm like, that makes sense.
She can hit whistle telling her she's a trick singer.

(01:06:18):
She can sing very high, her range is very high,
but her the fucking there's no weight to her voice,
you know what I mean? Like, I mean she has
a futel choir singing behind her, and any of them
are stronger vocalist. She's not a vocal right, So when
you saw the footage from inside, you would see Ariana
Grande like meeting like Bill Clinton and stuff, and then
Pete Davidson was walking around. Someone just posted this gift

(01:06:42):
of Aretha just doing really blinking eyes into the camera
and it just said Aretha in Heaven. Wondering how Pete
Davidson got an invitation to her funeral. I don't know how,
but he snuck in and he's in there. So shout

(01:07:47):
Look at your emotions a little bit differently. And then
Subaki San tweeted, this one really has me weak as fuck.
