Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of I said,
do you speak of my language? He just smiled and
gave me a vegg asite trend witch. He said, God
put the reverb on that. Brian a little crazy for
Tomorrow's a song which lapses too hard, really goes too hard,
(00:26):
goes to problems. No, no, Miles, don't do it. It
goes too hard. And he still recommended it. So and
then he said, damn son, where'd you find this? I did?
I did. In fact, I'm Jack. That's Miles. These are
some of the things that are trending. Poland, Um, we
figured's not it was a it was a big oopsy daisy.
(00:47):
Actually it turns out it was a misfire from Ukraine,
the the missile that exploded him. Poland, so a lot
of people, Yeah, I think that's why you actually were like,
it doesn't seem like the Pentagon is willing to say
it was Russia quite yet, which seemed like we're saying, like, oh,
it's maybe there's more to this. And it turns out
(01:07):
yet it was an errand turns out the impact and
then and then the Canatos like it's okay, Like I
know they like the Ukrainians technically fired it, but it's
still the Russians fault because they're basically there was all
the war. I mean sure, it's a very relieved to
find out that it wasn't Russia. Yeah, but then also
(01:31):
like the I forget who one of their representation from
Russia's like a shout out to the Pentagon for really
taking the time and not jumping to any conclusions on Okay,
the funk out of there. I think they're all ready
to just be done with this ship, except for Putin,
you know, based on yeah, everything you read about how
(01:51):
like demoralized anyone fighting for Russia is at this point.
It's it's just really tragic too, because you see all
these people get conscripted. It's just to fucking be paraded
out like the front lines and face like a grim
possibility of dying. Um. So, the richest human beings in
the history of Earth, Vladimir Putting, Elon Musk and Jeff
(02:13):
Bezos having having a rough go for the past few years.
I don't know, I don't know what's going on. Okay,
let's keep it up. Let's see that ship crash. Seriously,
um funk those guys. We'll talk more about Elon Musk
in our new podcast We Fuss with Musk's Oh and
then we just heard Mark Zuckerberg, formerly one of the
(02:34):
richest people history of Earth Inside Inside, tell that he
surrounded himself with sick of fans. That's shocking to me
for a billionaire, I mean, poor guy, to be honest,
like he has that energy or a lot of people
like my shut up Mark, Like I feel like even
when he's running a company like I bet there are
a lot of outs like no, Mark, stop, stop, you
(02:55):
don't know what you're talking about. And he's like, I
don't like him? Can we get rid of him? And
then during the person damn, that's a good zuck Herberg. Yeah,
I don't. I mean, that's just me being small. I'm
trying to make myself the tiniest human. That's how that
came out. But um, yes, I don't meats Perhaps all right,
we've we've gotten our first indicate. I mean, this has
(03:16):
been going on for a little bit, but uh, Turkey
shortage is now on every local news station, a song
you can kind of set your clock to this ship.
Now they know that it is the story that people
never tire of, thing of upcoming celebration or holiday. Uh yeah,
we're we're actually running low. You know what's wild to that? Right?
(03:38):
Turkey shortage? Cranberry cranberry shortage one year? Right, wasn't there?
Like they're like it's not enough. We need to we
need to shortage the main thing. So yeah, yeah, I mean, look,
shout out to all y'all buying your turkeys. Remember, it's
not twenty four hours to thought. It's like twenty four
hours per like whatever five pounds or some ship. So
(03:59):
please get math. If you're not following your turkey already,
you're fucked. If you're not tholling your turkey, now, how
fucking tiny is it? Asshole? It better be some mutant,
fucking genetically altered behemoth you're feasting on and feeding your
family with. But yeah, okay, this year, try a Christmas
goose for Thanksgivings. That yeah, that's like one of those things.
(04:21):
I'm like, I try a Christmas goose. I've never eaten
a goose before, and I've had close encounters. I used
to like work as the sort of groundskeeper at this
gym in Massachusetts, and I had some runnings with geese.
I'm not friendly, so geese trying to press you. Yeah,
(04:42):
just like trying to chew that off of busy streets
so they don't get fucking run over. And they also
did not like me, so you were being altruistic and
then repay you with wow the geese. Um. But the
other thing was it was interesting I just heard a
story about Christmas trees, because that's always like a thing
that happens it's shortage. This time the story was about
(05:05):
like how the Christmas planter people are like, yo, man,
you know it's gonna be there's gonna be a tough one.
But then the counter story was like all the consumers
being like, and we are we know the prices are
gonna be higher. We don't care, We're okay with it.
It was like this very weird thing of like, prices
are gonna be high, but guess what people know and
they love that about there. So I'm like, this is
(05:27):
the only thing you need to know to understand inflation
is that all they need to do is have a
pr like wing of their company or hire a pr firm. Uh.
Seed the story that there's a shortage or some other justification. Uh,
you know, gas prices are high because of Russia and
also Joe Biden, and then you just run with that
(05:50):
and you can raise prices as much as you want
without anybody blaming you. Um. So they're blaming bird flu
for the turkey shortage. I have no idea if it's true.
I suspect not, but it's always. It's always a little
trickier with natural things like turkey and Christmas trees because
I don't um follow turkey farming as closely like I got.
(06:14):
I'm pretty sure that her she's could confection up some
candy if there was ever a candy shortage ahead of
Halloween that was gonna affect their bottom line. But yeah,
it's all. They're almost always bullshit and the media loves it.
We love it. We love it, don't we, folks. We
love it, Folks shout out to Trump running for pres again.
I guess it's our first time recording since since that announcement.
(06:38):
We'll talk more about it on tomorrow's episode. You know,
wasn't there blacks for Trump? Blacks for Trump? Wasn't there?
What happened? They're always that one dude is always there
with the wild perm. He wasn't there A pretty better
check on him? I don't know what's going on. Maybe there,
I don't know, but anyway, it was a fucking snooze fest.
(07:00):
I mean, honestly, at this point, it's like more, it's
like a snooze fest because I think we're just like
irritatd like, just shut the funk up and go away
full I don't even give a funk about you. And
he seemed tired, Like I that that I had that thought.
I was like, am I just so bored by this?
But he seemed like he's from that or all shortage.
He doesn't. I don't think he believes his own bullshit
(07:21):
either anymore. Like that's what it felt like. Everybody. It's like, dude,
this is all fucking stupid, Like you keep saying you're
going to do this thing. You're terrible leader, but like, God,
just golf here, so I guess I'll come right. He
Also it also feels like they told him the stop
the steel ship wasn't working, and so he was having
(07:42):
to not like run free and say exactly what he
wanted to say. And when he can't do that, he
had the same energy that he has when he's doing
those teleprompter speeches during his presidency, like the three times
they got him to read off a teleprompter where it
was just like, very low, low vibrational energy coming from
(08:04):
low vibes is what we'd say. They're low vibes, not
high vibes. Dame sex marriages trending. Have you seen this?
Have you heard about that? I've heard about that. Also
shout out to j Leno. Chuck Schumer is saying that
they're going to advance the Respect for Marriage Act and
vote on it. Yeah, I mean they got it passed.
They got twelve Republicans to vote, so yeah, yeah, yeah,
(08:26):
they broke the filibuster? Did they do it by naming
it something that it sounds like a homophobic Republican would
have advanced? Because respect for marriage seems like, isn't Isn't
that what Republicans like said when they were objecting to
games Jack. Of course, that's why you have fucking people
(08:46):
like Franklin Graham just blowing a gasket on Twitter, saying
the deceitfully named Respect for Marriage Act will be voted
on by the U. S. Senate this week. The bill
strikes a blow at religious freedom. It's not freedom, bro,
You are free to do whatever the fuck you want.
So don't that that box has been ticked. Motherfucker. Your
(09:07):
freedom isn't at stake here. You are actively trying to
restrict someone else's by saying like, well, that's against my religion.
That's not how it works. Frankie Lynn Graham please leave
um So yeah we will. Yeah, it's it's getting it's
it's making its way through. You know that this these
final days of this congress. Uh, you know, as they
(09:28):
call it the lame duck session. It's like typically they
said the last five or so five or six congresses
of the major legislation has happened in this time period
because they're like, fun, man, all right, let's get you done.
Let's get you done before the new comerence comes in. Interesting,
and yeah, they're like up against the deadline because some
of them are getting fired or leaving. And also there's
(09:49):
no consequences. Well in the house too, because you need
the house while you control both chambers. You need to
be able to kick that down to the house and
like yeah, alright, good, we got it. Send it to
Joe Byron Bank. But yeah, it outify the same sex
and interracial marriage. Yes, yeah, it's rame. Courts a little
iffy on human rights. That's what it sounds like. That's
(10:09):
what it sounds like. So yeah, like I think you
know what the like these politicians, it's just a little late.
You know, you could just codify this ship a little
bit sooner. But I mean, what are they gonna do
in because you know they're gonna be like, Okay, we
have to pair some kind of like working class hero
with an existential threat to their rights to get them
(10:30):
to vote. So what will we let who? Which group
will we let slip completely through the cracks this time? Right? Um?
But it remains to be seen. I think they're they're
focus grouping it, you know, all right, let's take a
quick break and we'll be right back, and we're back
(10:59):
and Max Headroom Max Headroom, I didn't know it was.
I didn't know it was spelled straight up headroom. Yeah,
wasn't it. I think you're right. Yeah. I saw it
trending and I was like, is that how that was
always spelled? Yeah? I mean if you remember Max Headroom,
uh maybe from you know, maybe like if not specifically,
(11:19):
back to the future. He's got a couple appearances there.
He was like, what was Max Headroom saying? Like the
first like digital star, Like what what was his claim
to fame in the eighties. Yeah, he's like robot guy,
artificial artificial intelligence character was like his whole thing is
like this idea of a computer generated talent. Anyway, that's
(11:40):
for us old folks. The reason it's trending is because
other old folks have noticed that Madison Cawthorne as he
was talking about why he's going to talk to Donald
Trump at the rally, like the lighting was so weird.
It actually kind of makes him look like Max Headroom
in it. Yeah, it looks quite a bit like Max
Headroom actually, and this guy couldn't look or desperate, like
(12:01):
I'm not sure. Again, the lighting is so weird. It's
like if as if someone is like holding a mag
light very loosely beneath him, like a scary story and
it's only lightning like the top half of his skull. Um.
But yeah, this is will play a little bit of
him being like, oh my gosh, Donald Trump is so cool.
So I flew down tomorrow long ago. All right, that's enough,
(12:23):
so yeah, uh washing d C you still working there? Nah?
Come onf hey, hey, why are you making it hot
for me? He truly looks exactly. I don't I don't
know if it was intentional, but he he looks exactly
like Max Headroum. If you're not familiar with Max Headroum,
worth worth going back and checking that out if you're
if you're much younger than us, or just even a
(12:45):
little bit younger than us, because it was like part
of I think there was like a pirate radio broadcast
or a pirate TV broadcast where which was a thing
that happened in the eighties a couple of times where
they would like take over yeah yeah, and they like
put Max Headroom out there. But then also he became
like a PEPSI spokesperson. Um like go back and look
(13:06):
at Max Headroum or you know, any anything, any of
the art from the eighties is a very weird time. Yeah.
Well look, times were rolling. Yeah, good times, good times,
good times. We're rolling for five percent of the country,
and that's what everyone focused on. Hey, but everyone had
access to luds and cocaine. So you know, Larry Krasner
(13:30):
is trending because they're trying to impeach him after I
mean they have they voted to impeach him, they voted
to impeach him, but does that mean that he's impeached. Yeah,
I mean that's what I'm not clear on. I know
that this has they voted it through, so this is
most likely saying that they've successfully impeached him. But it's
(13:51):
more so to understand like how this will be challenged
because he was re elected in just like huge margin.
This is from Philadelphia exactly. This is another like progressive
da that many conservatives go after because they're not like, yeah, man,
beat them the funk up and walk them away, rather
than like, no, no, there's a there's actually a better
(14:12):
way to do this. Uh, and it's called being humane,
and people fucking agree with this. So I have a
feeling that this is going to be contested because like
there they really don't have, like it didn't even rise
to what the typical standard of impeachment is. They're like, okay,
what crime did he commit? Right, crickets? So this is yeah,
(14:34):
this is this is this just happened. So I'm sure
this is this is obviously about developing story, but just
you know, it shows you despite a lot of the
victories that happened at a federal level, and just like
locally too, there's still a lot of these wacky fucking places,
or like just the makeup of state houses that will
despite these winds that you have in like these metropolitan areas,
their state houses just read and they're like, yeah, you
(14:56):
know what, I don't like them, Let's impeach them. It's
gonna turn out it was an errant impeachment from Ukraine.
Tomorrow we shall see. One thing that should be stated
here is that like the GOP is, they're still they're
on track to lose around ten seats in that state house.
So they're they're doing this to try and get some
(15:17):
shipped through while they still feel that they're the balance
of power is like you know, with strong exactly. So
it's it's a bit of a ticking clock thing. Um.
But anyway, it shows you the cynicism of our leadership. Yeah,
and you know they're they're not ultimately huge fans of
democracy in this country. The main thing that distinguishes this
(15:40):
country from other ones is not democracy. It's that we
let rich people do whatever they want and we don't
have any like core value that is like actually poor
people tend to be like just as smart and valuable
to their society. There's nothing like that. It's just like Yeah,
you must be smart. He's rich. That's right. That's the main,
(16:04):
the main thing that differentiates us, not an adherence to democracy,
and that is coming back and biting us in the ass. Alright,
weird Thanksgiving favorite smiles? Do you have a favorite side
that is a little on the wacky side anything? Yeah?
You know, Jack, you know how I like to get
down on a Thanksgiving watching my Detroit Lions play and
(16:25):
cooling off with a nice mug a cold gravy. I mean,
I don't hold gravy. I don't have anything. I feel
like every Detroit Lions play. You just kind of turned
Nameth on me. Yeah, man, I care struggling as I
have my sparkling graevy I think about. I have the
(16:46):
phrase I could care less about the teams struggling at
least once a day. Good good, Yeah, No, emotionally and
mentally healthy human being. Look like I said, it's called
millennial sun downing. It's where we just fixate on random
loose lines from pop culture and just have to blurt
them out this wait till we're fucking old, like fully, senile,
(17:08):
it's gonna be the TikTok videos and looks stupid as
ship but hilarious when like I'm gonna be like game
cube Nintendo smoking on that end though, ten so you
can't see up in my window. They're like, what is
Mr Gray saying in room two or three? They're like,
he's doing He's something about Mike Jones again, and I'll
be there to scream bars after you say, that's motherfucking
(17:33):
bars right there. They're like doing the funk flex bars reaction. Okay,
never mind, But I don't have a weird one, to
be honest, I feel like everything i've I don't think
there's a single weird thing I've had. I feel like
it's always standard. What is even a weird Thanksgiving dish?
I think there's like cast roles. There's a lot of
cast roles I've I've been at enough like you know,
(17:57):
potlucks throughout the Midwest and the South that I've come
across some strange things that are called salad, even though
the closest thing they have two vegetables is marshmallows um
or canned canned fruit. Yeah, I didn't see. I didn't
have that. We had like turkey obviously, cranberry sauce. You've
(18:23):
got to have mac and cheese. You gotta have collar greens.
My my my grandfather made collar greens yams um. I
had more of like a black Thanksgiving because my mom,
you know, like she's japanis Thanksgiving, so we go to
my my my dad's side, and that all seems very
normal to me. So it's like and every now and then,
(18:45):
my grandmother would actually make ambrosia salad. Okay, So what
does ambrosia sal can you describe it to the Yeah,
it's basically like fruit. It's just like fruit and cool whip. Yeah,
it's like just straight up dessert. Food doesn't have ambrosia
in it. Oh, isn't it this the ambrosia of like
the gods? Like isn't that more of like A I
(19:07):
thought ambrosia was a flavor? Am I I might be
confusing about something else. Oh it might be. I mean
I just thought it was like a I mean, ambrosia salad.
But I think isn't that a like isn't that from
Greek mythology? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, So I think that's what's
hilarious is that our reference to Greek mythology is like
canned pineapples, like orange is fucking you know, fluff and coconut.
(19:31):
So I like him, like I really do, because it's
like the sweetest sh it you could eat. I wasn't.
I didn't eat yams as much as I should have.
It wasn't till I got older that I was. I
was really fully on the yam train. That reminds me
of Uh, there's this Mark Twin quote where he's like, watermelons,
it's chief of the world's luxuries. When one has tasted it,
(19:52):
he knows what angels eat. It's just funny to me
because that reminds me of the ambrosia salad thing. It's
just like the you know, at that time, you're just
finding out about watermelon and you're like, what the like,
you can't get over it for like a year. The
angels must eat this cool whip. It is truly manna
(20:15):
from heaven, the greatest food that man has ever put
before other man um. I mean yeah, because you think
of it just being like, man, this is what they
were eating up in Mount Olympus and rosia up there,
and I like that, like, and what do we have?
It's canned fruit, marshmallows, stuff we go, but it's good good, Yeah.
(20:35):
So they did a rundown of like all the weirdest
ones by state, and it's ambrosia salad, frog eye salad,
and jello salad are like them to be. There's only
three fucking things. I thought there's more. What's frog eye salad?
Is that also some kind of frog ey salad? Uh?
Is a dessert? Pasta salad, small noodles, egg yolk, cool whip,
(21:02):
caned citrus fruit, and marshmallow. Yo. Right. I don't know
why the noodles need to be in there. I guess
the differentiate so that this survey has a third answer. Wow.
I like Brian in the in the chat, we both
say yo at the same time, but He's just sad.
That's so nasty, and I'm like, I'm ready Wow, sweet
(21:23):
pasta salad. My goodness. I talk about someone served that
to like a person, an Italian person, at your Thanksgiving
and they'd imagine they'd fall over. The reason it resembles frog, guys,
is because the pasta that's most typically used is a CHENI.
(21:44):
Oh okay, oh oh you didn't know him, Oh you
didn't know no, yeah, So shout out to cool whip,
Shout out to cast roll culture. Best cast role I've
ever had, probably hash Brown cast roll from Pete Way
Marisa uh Man, I shout out to shout out to
(22:05):
those cast roles that like you will always remember because
I have those, and like when I'm in like, uh,
like my old neighborhood where I grew up, like and
I see like one of the homies moms, I'm like, hey,
can can you tell me that one recipe that one
day state you always used to make? And I'm like,
I'm old enough to cook for myself, So that's all
I need to recreate my childhood with your dishes. So
(22:26):
shout out all the legendary cast role. Speaking of Pete
uh former guest, recent guest Pete the Walkman to reunite
for first concerts since two thousand thirteen yesterday. Any Walkman
fan out there, just get Jesus and merrow back on here,
because we're in the reunion business. That's right, you know,
(22:46):
We're in the We're in the reunion world. Um all right,
those are some of the things that are trending on
this Wednesday, November sixteenth. We are back tomorrow with the
whole last episode of the show. Until then, be kind
to each other, be kind to yourselves, Get the vaccine,
get the booster, get the flu shot, don't do nothing
about white supremacy, and we will talk to you all
(23:06):
tomorrow like Fi
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of I said,
do you speak of my language? He just smiled and
gave me a vegg asite trend witch. He said, God
put the reverb on that. Brian a little crazy for
Tomorrow's a song which lapses too hard, really goes too hard,
(00:26):
goes to problems. No, no, Miles, don't do it. It
goes too hard. And he still recommended it. So and
then he said, damn son, where'd you find this? I did?
I did. In fact, I'm Jack. That's Miles. These are
some of the things that are trending. Poland, Um, we
figured's not it was a it was a big oopsy daisy.
(00:47):
Actually it turns out it was a misfire from Ukraine,
the the missile that exploded him. Poland, so a lot
of people, Yeah, I think that's why you actually were like,
it doesn't seem like the Pentagon is willing to say
it was Russia quite yet, which seemed like we're saying, like, oh,
it's maybe there's more to this. And it turns out
(01:07):
yet it was an errand turns out the impact and
then and then the Canatos like it's okay, Like I
know they like the Ukrainians technically fired it, but it's
still the Russians fault because they're basically there was all
the war. I mean sure, it's a very relieved to
find out that it wasn't Russia. Yeah, but then also
(01:31):
like the I forget who one of their representation from
Russia's like a shout out to the Pentagon for really
taking the time and not jumping to any conclusions on Okay,
the funk out of there. I think they're all ready
to just be done with this ship, except for Putin,
you know, based on yeah, everything you read about how
(01:51):
like demoralized anyone fighting for Russia is at this point.
It's it's just really tragic too, because you see all
these people get conscripted. It's just to fucking be paraded
out like the front lines and face like a grim
possibility of dying. Um. So, the richest human beings in
the history of Earth, Vladimir Putting, Elon Musk and Jeff
(02:13):
Bezos having having a rough go for the past few years.
I don't know, I don't know what's going on. Okay,
let's keep it up. Let's see that ship crash. Seriously,
um funk those guys. We'll talk more about Elon Musk
in our new podcast We Fuss with Musk's Oh and
then we just heard Mark Zuckerberg, formerly one of the
(02:34):
richest people history of Earth Inside Inside, tell that he
surrounded himself with sick of fans. That's shocking to me
for a billionaire, I mean, poor guy, to be honest,
like he has that energy or a lot of people
like my shut up Mark, Like I feel like even
when he's running a company like I bet there are
a lot of outs like no, Mark, stop, stop, you
(02:55):
don't know what you're talking about. And he's like, I
don't like him? Can we get rid of him? And
then during the person damn, that's a good zuck Herberg. Yeah,
I don't. I mean, that's just me being small. I'm
trying to make myself the tiniest human. That's how that
came out. But um, yes, I don't meats Perhaps all right,
we've we've gotten our first indicate. I mean, this has
(03:16):
been going on for a little bit, but uh, Turkey
shortage is now on every local news station, a song
you can kind of set your clock to this ship.
Now they know that it is the story that people
never tire of, thing of upcoming celebration or holiday. Uh yeah,
we're we're actually running low. You know what's wild to that? Right?
(03:38):
Turkey shortage? Cranberry cranberry shortage one year? Right, wasn't there?
Like they're like it's not enough. We need to we
need to shortage the main thing. So yeah, yeah, I mean, look,
shout out to all y'all buying your turkeys. Remember, it's
not twenty four hours to thought. It's like twenty four
hours per like whatever five pounds or some ship. So
(03:59):
please get math. If you're not following your turkey already,
you're fucked. If you're not tholling your turkey, now, how
fucking tiny is it? Asshole? It better be some mutant,
fucking genetically altered behemoth you're feasting on and feeding your
family with. But yeah, okay, this year, try a Christmas
goose for Thanksgivings. That yeah, that's like one of those things.
(04:21):
I'm like, I try a Christmas goose. I've never eaten
a goose before, and I've had close encounters. I used
to like work as the sort of groundskeeper at this
gym in Massachusetts, and I had some runnings with geese.
I'm not friendly, so geese trying to press you. Yeah,
(04:42):
just like trying to chew that off of busy streets
so they don't get fucking run over. And they also
did not like me, so you were being altruistic and
then repay you with wow the geese. Um. But the
other thing was it was interesting I just heard a
story about Christmas trees, because that's always like a thing
that happens it's shortage. This time the story was about
(05:05):
like how the Christmas planter people are like, yo, man,
you know it's gonna be there's gonna be a tough one.
But then the counter story was like all the consumers
being like, and we are we know the prices are
gonna be higher. We don't care, We're okay with it.
It was like this very weird thing of like, prices
are gonna be high, but guess what people know and
they love that about there. So I'm like, this is
(05:27):
the only thing you need to know to understand inflation
is that all they need to do is have a
pr like wing of their company or hire a pr firm. Uh.
Seed the story that there's a shortage or some other justification. Uh,
you know, gas prices are high because of Russia and
also Joe Biden, and then you just run with that
(05:50):
and you can raise prices as much as you want
without anybody blaming you. Um. So they're blaming bird flu
for the turkey shortage. I have no idea if it's true.
I suspect not, but it's always. It's always a little
trickier with natural things like turkey and Christmas trees because
I don't um follow turkey farming as closely like I got.
(06:14):
I'm pretty sure that her she's could confection up some
candy if there was ever a candy shortage ahead of
Halloween that was gonna affect their bottom line. But yeah,
it's all. They're almost always bullshit and the media loves it.
We love it. We love it, don't we, folks. We
love it, Folks shout out to Trump running for pres again.
I guess it's our first time recording since since that announcement.
(06:38):
We'll talk more about it on tomorrow's episode. You know,
wasn't there blacks for Trump? Blacks for Trump? Wasn't there?
What happened? They're always that one dude is always there
with the wild perm. He wasn't there A pretty better
check on him? I don't know what's going on. Maybe there,
I don't know, but anyway, it was a fucking snooze fest.
(07:00):
I mean, honestly, at this point, it's like more, it's
like a snooze fest because I think we're just like
irritatd like, just shut the funk up and go away
full I don't even give a funk about you. And
he seemed tired, Like I that that I had that thought.
I was like, am I just so bored by this?
But he seemed like he's from that or all shortage.
He doesn't. I don't think he believes his own bullshit
(07:21):
either anymore. Like that's what it felt like. Everybody. It's like, dude,
this is all fucking stupid, Like you keep saying you're
going to do this thing. You're terrible leader, but like, God,
just golf here, so I guess I'll come right. He
Also it also feels like they told him the stop
the steel ship wasn't working, and so he was having
(07:42):
to not like run free and say exactly what he
wanted to say. And when he can't do that, he
had the same energy that he has when he's doing
those teleprompter speeches during his presidency, like the three times
they got him to read off a teleprompter where it
was just like, very low, low vibrational energy coming from
(08:04):
low vibes is what we'd say. They're low vibes, not
high vibes. Dame sex marriages trending. Have you seen this?
Have you heard about that? I've heard about that. Also
shout out to j Leno. Chuck Schumer is saying that
they're going to advance the Respect for Marriage Act and
vote on it. Yeah, I mean they got it passed.
They got twelve Republicans to vote, so yeah, yeah, yeah,
(08:26):
they broke the filibuster? Did they do it by naming
it something that it sounds like a homophobic Republican would
have advanced? Because respect for marriage seems like, isn't Isn't
that what Republicans like said when they were objecting to
games Jack. Of course, that's why you have fucking people
(08:46):
like Franklin Graham just blowing a gasket on Twitter, saying
the deceitfully named Respect for Marriage Act will be voted
on by the U. S. Senate this week. The bill
strikes a blow at religious freedom. It's not freedom, bro,
You are free to do whatever the fuck you want.
So don't that that box has been ticked. Motherfucker. Your
(09:07):
freedom isn't at stake here. You are actively trying to
restrict someone else's by saying like, well, that's against my religion.
That's not how it works. Frankie Lynn Graham please leave
um So yeah we will. Yeah, it's it's getting it's
it's making its way through. You know that this these
final days of this congress. Uh, you know, as they
(09:28):
call it the lame duck session. It's like typically they
said the last five or so five or six congresses
of the major legislation has happened in this time period
because they're like, fun, man, all right, let's get you done.
Let's get you done before the new comerence comes in. Interesting,
and yeah, they're like up against the deadline because some
of them are getting fired or leaving. And also there's
(09:49):
no consequences. Well in the house too, because you need
the house while you control both chambers. You need to
be able to kick that down to the house and
like yeah, alright, good, we got it. Send it to
Joe Byron Bank. But yeah, it outify the same sex
and interracial marriage. Yes, yeah, it's rame. Courts a little
iffy on human rights. That's what it sounds like. That's
(10:09):
what it sounds like. So yeah, like I think you
know what the like these politicians, it's just a little late.
You know, you could just codify this ship a little
bit sooner. But I mean, what are they gonna do
in because you know they're gonna be like, Okay, we
have to pair some kind of like working class hero
with an existential threat to their rights to get them
(10:30):
to vote. So what will we let who? Which group
will we let slip completely through the cracks this time? Right? Um?
But it remains to be seen. I think they're they're
focus grouping it, you know, all right, let's take a
quick break and we'll be right back, and we're back
(10:59):
and Max Headroom Max Headroom, I didn't know it was.
I didn't know it was spelled straight up headroom. Yeah,
wasn't it. I think you're right. Yeah. I saw it
trending and I was like, is that how that was
always spelled? Yeah? I mean if you remember Max Headroom,
uh maybe from you know, maybe like if not specifically,
(11:19):
back to the future. He's got a couple appearances there.
He was like, what was Max Headroom saying? Like the
first like digital star, Like what what was his claim
to fame in the eighties. Yeah, he's like robot guy,
artificial artificial intelligence character was like his whole thing is
like this idea of a computer generated talent. Anyway, that's
(11:40):
for us old folks. The reason it's trending is because
other old folks have noticed that Madison Cawthorne as he
was talking about why he's going to talk to Donald
Trump at the rally, like the lighting was so weird.
It actually kind of makes him look like Max Headroom
in it. Yeah, it looks quite a bit like Max
Headroom actually, and this guy couldn't look or desperate, like
(12:01):
I'm not sure. Again, the lighting is so weird. It's
like if as if someone is like holding a mag
light very loosely beneath him, like a scary story and
it's only lightning like the top half of his skull. Um.
But yeah, this is will play a little bit of
him being like, oh my gosh, Donald Trump is so cool.
So I flew down tomorrow long ago. All right, that's enough,
(12:23):
so yeah, uh washing d C you still working there? Nah?
Come onf hey, hey, why are you making it hot
for me? He truly looks exactly. I don't I don't
know if it was intentional, but he he looks exactly
like Max Headroum. If you're not familiar with Max Headroum,
worth worth going back and checking that out if you're
if you're much younger than us, or just even a
(12:45):
little bit younger than us, because it was like part
of I think there was like a pirate radio broadcast
or a pirate TV broadcast where which was a thing
that happened in the eighties a couple of times where
they would like take over yeah yeah, and they like
put Max Headroom out there. But then also he became
like a PEPSI spokesperson. Um like go back and look
(13:06):
at Max Headroum or you know, any anything, any of
the art from the eighties is a very weird time. Yeah.
Well look, times were rolling. Yeah, good times, good times,
good times. We're rolling for five percent of the country,
and that's what everyone focused on. Hey, but everyone had
access to luds and cocaine. So you know, Larry Krasner
(13:30):
is trending because they're trying to impeach him after I
mean they have they voted to impeach him, they voted
to impeach him, but does that mean that he's impeached. Yeah,
I mean that's what I'm not clear on. I know
that this has they voted it through, so this is
most likely saying that they've successfully impeached him. But it's
(13:51):
more so to understand like how this will be challenged
because he was re elected in just like huge margin.
This is from Philadelphia exactly. This is another like progressive
da that many conservatives go after because they're not like, yeah, man,
beat them the funk up and walk them away, rather
than like, no, no, there's a there's actually a better
(14:12):
way to do this. Uh, and it's called being humane,
and people fucking agree with this. So I have a
feeling that this is going to be contested because like
there they really don't have, like it didn't even rise
to what the typical standard of impeachment is. They're like, okay,
what crime did he commit? Right, crickets? So this is yeah,
(14:34):
this is this is this just happened. So I'm sure
this is this is obviously about developing story, but just
you know, it shows you despite a lot of the
victories that happened at a federal level, and just like
locally too, there's still a lot of these wacky fucking places,
or like just the makeup of state houses that will
despite these winds that you have in like these metropolitan areas,
their state houses just read and they're like, yeah, you
(14:56):
know what, I don't like them, Let's impeach them. It's
gonna turn out it was an errant impeachment from Ukraine.
Tomorrow we shall see. One thing that should be stated
here is that like the GOP is, they're still they're
on track to lose around ten seats in that state house.
So they're they're doing this to try and get some
(15:17):
shipped through while they still feel that they're the balance
of power is like you know, with strong exactly. So
it's it's a bit of a ticking clock thing. Um.
But anyway, it shows you the cynicism of our leadership. Yeah,
and you know they're they're not ultimately huge fans of
democracy in this country. The main thing that distinguishes this
(15:40):
country from other ones is not democracy. It's that we
let rich people do whatever they want and we don't
have any like core value that is like actually poor
people tend to be like just as smart and valuable
to their society. There's nothing like that. It's just like Yeah,
you must be smart. He's rich. That's right. That's the main,
(16:04):
the main thing that differentiates us, not an adherence to democracy,
and that is coming back and biting us in the ass. Alright,
weird Thanksgiving favorite smiles? Do you have a favorite side
that is a little on the wacky side anything? Yeah?
You know, Jack, you know how I like to get
down on a Thanksgiving watching my Detroit Lions play and
(16:25):
cooling off with a nice mug a cold gravy. I mean,
I don't hold gravy. I don't have anything. I feel
like every Detroit Lions play. You just kind of turned
Nameth on me. Yeah, man, I care struggling as I
have my sparkling graevy I think about. I have the
(16:46):
phrase I could care less about the teams struggling at
least once a day. Good good, Yeah, No, emotionally and
mentally healthy human being. Look like I said, it's called
millennial sun downing. It's where we just fixate on random
loose lines from pop culture and just have to blurt
them out this wait till we're fucking old, like fully, senile,
(17:08):
it's gonna be the TikTok videos and looks stupid as
ship but hilarious when like I'm gonna be like game
cube Nintendo smoking on that end though, ten so you
can't see up in my window. They're like, what is
Mr Gray saying in room two or three? They're like,
he's doing He's something about Mike Jones again, and I'll
be there to scream bars after you say, that's motherfucking
(17:33):
bars right there. They're like doing the funk flex bars reaction. Okay,
never mind, But I don't have a weird one, to
be honest, I feel like everything i've I don't think
there's a single weird thing I've had. I feel like
it's always standard. What is even a weird Thanksgiving dish?
I think there's like cast roles. There's a lot of
cast roles I've I've been at enough like you know,
(17:57):
potlucks throughout the Midwest and the South that I've come
across some strange things that are called salad, even though
the closest thing they have two vegetables is marshmallows um
or canned canned fruit. Yeah, I didn't see. I didn't
have that. We had like turkey obviously, cranberry sauce. You've
(18:23):
got to have mac and cheese. You gotta have collar greens.
My my my grandfather made collar greens yams um. I
had more of like a black Thanksgiving because my mom,
you know, like she's japanis Thanksgiving, so we go to
my my my dad's side, and that all seems very
normal to me. So it's like and every now and then,
(18:45):
my grandmother would actually make ambrosia salad. Okay, So what
does ambrosia sal can you describe it to the Yeah,
it's basically like fruit. It's just like fruit and cool whip. Yeah,
it's like just straight up dessert. Food doesn't have ambrosia
in it. Oh, isn't it this the ambrosia of like
the gods? Like isn't that more of like A I
(19:07):
thought ambrosia was a flavor? Am I I might be
confusing about something else. Oh it might be. I mean
I just thought it was like a I mean, ambrosia salad.
But I think isn't that a like isn't that from
Greek mythology? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, So I think that's what's
hilarious is that our reference to Greek mythology is like
canned pineapples, like orange is fucking you know, fluff and coconut.
(19:31):
So I like him, like I really do, because it's
like the sweetest sh it you could eat. I wasn't.
I didn't eat yams as much as I should have.
It wasn't till I got older that I was. I
was really fully on the yam train. That reminds me
of Uh, there's this Mark Twin quote where he's like, watermelons,
it's chief of the world's luxuries. When one has tasted it,
(19:52):
he knows what angels eat. It's just funny to me
because that reminds me of the ambrosia salad thing. It's
just like the you know, at that time, you're just
finding out about watermelon and you're like, what the like,
you can't get over it for like a year. The
angels must eat this cool whip. It is truly manna
(20:15):
from heaven, the greatest food that man has ever put
before other man um. I mean yeah, because you think
of it just being like, man, this is what they
were eating up in Mount Olympus and rosia up there,
and I like that, like, and what do we have?
It's canned fruit, marshmallows, stuff we go, but it's good good, Yeah.
(20:35):
So they did a rundown of like all the weirdest
ones by state, and it's ambrosia salad, frog eye salad,
and jello salad are like them to be. There's only
three fucking things. I thought there's more. What's frog eye salad?
Is that also some kind of frog ey salad? Uh?
Is a dessert? Pasta salad, small noodles, egg yolk, cool whip,
(21:02):
caned citrus fruit, and marshmallow. Yo. Right. I don't know
why the noodles need to be in there. I guess
the differentiate so that this survey has a third answer. Wow.
I like Brian in the in the chat, we both
say yo at the same time, but He's just sad.
That's so nasty, and I'm like, I'm ready Wow, sweet
(21:23):
pasta salad. My goodness. I talk about someone served that
to like a person, an Italian person, at your Thanksgiving
and they'd imagine they'd fall over. The reason it resembles frog, guys,
is because the pasta that's most typically used is a CHENI.
(21:44):
Oh okay, oh oh you didn't know him, Oh you
didn't know no, yeah, So shout out to cool whip,
Shout out to cast roll culture. Best cast role I've
ever had, probably hash Brown cast roll from Pete Way
Marisa uh Man, I shout out to shout out to
(22:05):
those cast roles that like you will always remember because
I have those, and like when I'm in like, uh,
like my old neighborhood where I grew up, like and
I see like one of the homies moms, I'm like, hey,
can can you tell me that one recipe that one
day state you always used to make? And I'm like,
I'm old enough to cook for myself, So that's all
I need to recreate my childhood with your dishes. So
(22:26):
shout out all the legendary cast role. Speaking of Pete
uh former guest, recent guest Pete the Walkman to reunite
for first concerts since two thousand thirteen yesterday. Any Walkman
fan out there, just get Jesus and merrow back on here,
because we're in the reunion business. That's right, you know,
