we are thrilled to be joined in our third seat
by the hilarious and talented comedian and podcast host Sophia
Alexandra Sofia. How you been, I've been great. I'm so

(03:41):
great to back. You've been coming in for another show.
That's right, that's in Cooking in the Cooking in the
lab for so long it's a stew. At this point,
you're just gonna drop sixty episodes. Worry not, listeners. This
show is real. It is fully cooked. This is the
problem though. At this level, you know you're dealing with

(04:02):
high level contracts. Palace intrigue and things like that, and
when this ship come there's been a couple stabbing. Ye
gonna lie. I mean, all I have to say is
I'm a tough negotiatory Yeah, Ukrainians apparently aren't. Yeah, don't
don't with me. If you want me to do a
chill podcast about weed and I'm not the one, don't play.

(04:26):
I don't play that. All right, We're gonna get to
know you a little bit better. But first we're gonna
tell our listeners what we're talking about today. We're gonna
talk about how people are working with Slash against Border
Patrol agents to try and funk that agency up a
little bit. We're gonna check in with just the latest

(04:49):
kind of a more taking a step back hundred thousand
foot view of the whistleblower story. We're gonna look at
inequality in America. Then we're going to have a long
overdue update of Men because we got some new texture
on Matt lour Uh allegations and James Franco allegations. So

(05:14):
we're gonna look at some of that, all of that
and some footie drama. But for Sophia, we like Tasker.
I guess what is something from your search history. That's
revealing about who you are. So I just went to
Mexico City with my podcasting partner Courtney Cosack, our podcast
Private Parts Unknown, and it struck me that I might

(05:37):
want to get a tattoo for every city we go
to for the pod. Um do you have to choose
to choose? Yeah, I have four to tooth um. They're
real small, they're more like tatties, tatties tatties um. But yeah,
So I was thinking what would be a good way.

(05:59):
I don't want to do like flags or whatever. Yeah. Um.
So I was thinking like what if I do a flower?
And then I'm like, but then I would get it
for the country because the city doesn't have a flower.
So I googled national flower of Mexico. It's the dahlias, um, dahlia.
They have like a lot of petals. Yeah, they're really
they're really pretty. Also, look like what's that like almost

(06:22):
like sunflowers but a different color. Pink? Oh ship Yeah
yeah this thing? Yeah that's Tripp. He looks like ikea lamp. Yeah.
So anyway, I was like, should I get a dahlia tattoo?
That was my last I didn't know anything about the
Dahlia other than the Dallia murder. And then I finally

(06:45):
saw one at a farmer's market and they're really pretty.
Butts on for our house. Got a lot of compliments
on them. They're pretty flower jack. That is the cutest story.
A lot of our guests really felt welcomed. The roma,
I would say, was very pleasing. Compliment. Yeah, curately, it

(07:10):
goes along with the color story. And what is something
you think is overrated? CBD oil what everybody says to
use it for everything? Literally, I want to believe in
it because I love the idea of it, But every

(07:30):
time I give it to anyone or tried for anything,
that ship does not work. Like my mom was having
pains and I bought this fucking fancy CBD EMU cream.
They're like, it's made with EMU fat, it penetrates deeper.
They're like, here's it's a million dollars. I was like,
all right, it's for my mom. I'm like, did it
do anything? She's like no. Anytime I'm like oh, people
are like yeah, it helps with anxiety. I'm like you

(07:51):
should try it and they're like no, I don't really
know what the funking does do well? I think the
most effective case for it was with anti seizure applications
because I remember that was like one of the big
things where there were children who I saw that video too, well,
not even the video, I mean it was like it's
a it was like a whole thing. But there's like
a bunch of videos that have gone viral showing of

(08:13):
people putting CBD oil on like the feet, the bottoms
of the feet of people are having seizures and helping
and stuff on the bottoms of their feet. Yeah, and
I've heard that it helps in like Parkinson's in my
husband's dad has Parkinson's, so we've been I've been giving
them all the CBD and that ship does not do
anything for your point being that cbdo. Like people are

(08:33):
constantly like, oh, have you tried CBD oil just in conversation,
And that's rarely a illness or like a malady that
people are bringing up conversationally, Like, man, I keep having
these seizures. Don't know what to do to saying that
it doesn't work for anything. I'm just saying I don't
think it works for first of the things we're trying

(08:56):
to use it for casually being like, oh, yeah, try
for any of the ten things with you. Yeah, well
people love it, you know, because there's so many CBD
drinks everywhere too, And does this really how many of
these have to drink to like catch the spirit? Is
that what you take medicine for to catch catch the spirit? Yeah,

(09:16):
everybody knows that. Everybody knows from my praise band, I
was in Catch the Spirit. Yeah, you love to wear
white linen when you perform. It's like, what's about purity?
And it's about talking about coming to Jesus? Is in?
You know? You know what you tell me, I've only
ever seen you as a God's virgin. Has that white
linen church ever been buttoned up? No, it didn't seem

(09:38):
like it. Well, you know, it depends on how I'm feeling.
But that's how he gets new additions to the church. Yeah,
that's how to bring him in. But only those who
are pure of heart, and he will find a gust
or a fan or something. Just so that a little
bit if they just want to say, who's the king
of the jungle, who's the king of the see bubble

(09:59):
bubble blah, who's the king of the universe, and who's
the king of me? His name is j S. You
ask what catch the spirit that's out to? Yeah yeah,
definitely yeah, jam, what is something you think is underrated? So? Um,

(10:22):
well what I think is underrated is um jungle pussy
Jungle Pus musical artist. Yeah okay, and um to make
me a point, I'm just gonna say two of my
favorite lines. Okay, I love it. One is like Rihanna
forehead bitch, you gotta think big hilarious and um, Papa

(10:45):
plan b stop the family, your father not cute, the
funniest ship that's really good out No, but I stay
rocking to the old ship. Yeah yeah, yeah, um yeah
where she she's kind of young or well, younger than us. Yeah,

(11:07):
everyone's younger than us these days. The great song Trader Joe, Um,
where she's like, uh, we don't fuck he just picked
me up from Trader Joe, carry all my groceries and
lick on all my toes, like girl, get it you free. Also,
I hope putting some of that speculose cookie butter on

(11:29):
your feet. Thank you. We all have that relationship in
our life, don't we. What someone the Trader Joe to
suck on your toes? Yeah, yeah, for sure. Our grocery ride.
That's how I get to the grocery store. What is

(11:51):
a myth? What's something people think is true you know
to be false. Um. So here's something that I thought
before going to Mexico City. I thought that because Mexico
is such a Catholic country, that Mexico City probably wouldn't
be a good place for to be queer. And I
was totally wrong. Um. I met like a bunch of

(12:13):
trans people, a bunch of gender queer people, and they
feel super safe living there. And um, one of the
really interesting ways that they put it there, Like, you know,
family is really big here, so uh, if you say
no to someone in your family because of like their orientation,
then like it's really hard to cut off like a

(12:34):
part of yourself like that. So sometimes people still do do.
It's not that there aren't any religious people, but I
think because family is so important, people of each other
so much, it's actually progress. Yeah, and I thought that
was really cool and um, I mean progressive as fuck.
And the artists are doing really interesting stuff. I talked

(12:57):
to like a performance artist, uh who like does stuff
where she puts like lipstick on her body and then
has people rub it off. And she's like it's you know,
it hurts my body and like it leaves a mark
and like that's what patriarchy is, and she's just sucking
dope and so all these yeah, Mexico cities just insanely interesting.
So many artists are like flocking down there too. So

(13:19):
I definitely know it's got a scene. Is there? Mean
Mexico cities like gang? Let us know if there are,
maybe you can show me. There's a lot you should,
as I learned to call it in parton me. How
long are you guys down there? Um? Pretty short? Like

(13:42):
a long weekend Friday to Monday night. Oh ship, a
little quick weekend work. Yeah, but I mean we did
a ship kind of stuff at that time and now
we can't wait to come back. And we met so
many interesting people that are like, oh yeah, I'm a
pleasure activist, I work with sex workers. Were like, everybody
we're meeting is the fucking coolest person. Dan. Do you
feel like you like we're in a particularly progressive pocket

(14:07):
or you feel like they were kind of talking about
overall like Mexican culture. Well, I think because of what
we do for the podcast and when we were looking
for people to interview. We specifically are like, who is
interesting love and sexuality stories in Mexico City? So and
then because of who our friends are and who their
friends are, I think you kind of a little bit

(14:28):
self selecting, you know, because we're progressive people, and you know,
we have friends that are trans and non binary and artists,
Like that's who our friends are going to introduce us to.
So I feel like that's true, but we asked them
on their own. Yeah, what's it like? Ye? And I
mean I talked to a twenty one year old who
as a girlfriend and she's totally cool with him just

(14:49):
cross dressing and that's all he wants to do, and
his like point of view on it was like I
never understood how women felt until I was dressed as
a woman and got treated as a woman, and it's
just a real like mind blowing I'm like, this is
that's the most progressive ship I've ever heard. This twenty
one year old just like schooling me, right, So yeah, thanks, kids,

(15:10):
everyone's younger than us and so much cooler than us.
We're like old fucking phones that will not boot up
with Yeah, we're like there's no pictures on this. I'm interested,
Like that'll be interesting to see on your podcast as
you like look at different cultures, which because I wonder

(15:32):
how much of America is unique like America because it
is this culture that doesn't really have a history, like
a long history. Uh, I feel like they're there's more
of a tendency towards extreme religion and also like not
having like strong family. I guess strong family. I think

(15:56):
those ties typically come from people who like migrate to
this exactly bringing those here. And that's sort of like
what the you know, the melting pot as alex Oh,
And that's one thing that also people kept telling us,
they're like, you know, this is a true melting pot
of like three different cultures, and they're like in a
lot of places, you know, um, doesn't happen what happened here.

(16:18):
On the tour guy put it like this, He's like
everybody came here and everybody fucked each other. He's like,
it's a true melting pot, like you know, everybody's kind
of tied into everybody else in the history is very
deep and um and you know, all the food, they're like, oh,
this is from this country, this is from this country.
This is how that's got incorporated and it's it is
a true melting pot. It was pretty pretty insane, and

(16:40):
it's one of the biggest cities in the world, I
think second biggest. Maybe it's enormous, huge, awesome. Well, where
can people here here about that? Um private parts unknown?
We're on a pleasure podcast network Pleasure. Uh all right,
let's talk about something slightly positive to start things off,

(17:04):
because I came in today really bleak storm cloud. His
hair was a storm cloud. Uh, So let's talk about
something that somebody's doing that seems like a good idea
using kindness constructively. Well, you know, we talked a few
weeks ago, maybe a month or two ago about that

(17:24):
New York Times piece that was a profile on cbb
CBP not CBD Customs and Border Patrol Agents to sort
of get a general take on like what it's like
there where many people like, it's fucking terrible. It's a
terrible place to work as a woman. There are many
people who are just fucking like terrible people. There are
also people who are there who hate the fact that

(17:45):
this is their job. But have they tried CBD oil.
I don't know. If I feel like that would maybe
help someone, I think it's worth worth noting um and
also just the idea that there are people where the
morality is so low because like they go to work
and they have to interact with children who are just
crying for their parents and things like that, and the
psychologically that's taking a toll um and then you know,

(18:06):
a lot of it. We were also talking about most
of us sort of the ideas like man, these people
are sucking, they suck or whatever, why can't they just
do something else? And then you know, we talked about
how you can't not many people just have the ability
to quit a job because the philosophically opposed to it.
Because the way this system is set up, you must
work to live, and if you're not working, then you
could perish quite quickly or you're like you're living, situation

(18:28):
could turn very dark very quickly. So the Never Again
Action group, their immigrant rights group that's spearheaded by a
lot of Jewish activists, about this idea of like not
separating families, you know, akin to the Holocaust. Um. They
were really trying to figure out because they do a
lot of activities outside of ice facilities and things like that.

(18:49):
A lot of the people around were thinking, like it's
not a lot of the times they chant quit your job,
quit your job, and then we're kind of realizing like
that's just kind of not enough either. So on Monday,
two of the people themselves, yeah yeah. So on Monday
they were thinking, like, okay, what can we actually do?
So they launched a website that would match ice agents
with confidential career advisors like you would in college, to

(19:12):
try and find a way for you to get another
job so you can fucking quit this disastrous, evil organization. Um.
And they said from that launch, like two people immediately
like hit them up from outside the like Atlanta area
where they were first trying to like get people to
like sort of notice this project. But they said, yeah,
those people who came out, uh, we're just immediately like, yeah,

(19:35):
I don't want to be I do absolutely do not
want to work here anymore. And they the comment that
one of the people left who was interacting with the
website confidentially said something like, I'm drowning in this place.
So you know, I think there is this idea that
we think that every person that works there is just
automaton who's hell bent on doing harm. And I think
there are some people who are, but there are very

(19:56):
much also people who you know, like we were saying
to like, border patrol certain areas is a very quick
ticket to meet the middle to a middle class lifestyle
like with very like you could just have a high
school education and start making you know, decent money. So
you know, shout out to them for using you know,
sensible tactics, because again, I think one thing we've learned
throughout this whole week is that money fucking makes everything move.

(20:20):
People don't it doesn't values are they don't matter. They
don't matter because at the end of the day, it's
nothing works without money. I also just want to say
that I think the way that like becoming complicit and
evil works because it happens kind of in a certain
way slowly, but then you're like, what the fuck, and
I think you know it just it does. You're mentioning

(20:40):
the Holocaust like totally makes you think about the Germans
that lived Nazi Germany that weren't like gung hoo Nazis.
But then we're also caught there and I don't think
anybody came and was like, hey, this is your ticket
out of the Nazi Party or whatever, which is one
less is like be a defector or something and a
conspirator conspirator and be executed. Yeah, so, and I feel

(21:02):
like giving these people a way to leave something that
is like, so, I mean, someone making you complicit and
evil is fucked up. So giving someone a way out,
I think is like actually a real way to work
at the problem, as opposed to just be like this
is fucked up. Well, I mean it definitely helps weaken
that agency, but I think, yeah, the real solutions have

(21:23):
to come from further up. But I think that's where
we're at least giving acknowledging the humanity of people who
are in a situation they probably also don't want to
be in, and that there are people like that again
and they're also evil. Course we're out here getting off
on watching children cry, yeah, or who are when journalists
come in and be like, oh, so you write fake news?
Oh right, right, for the fake news. Why don't you

(21:45):
a propaganda Yeah, you have to admit that that's what
you do, and you won't and you'll get your passport back. Yeah,
that's like, I'm sorry to have a journalist named Ben Watson.
I think at L A X or maybe jfk Um.
So here's some propaganda suck my ship. Yeah, that is
some propaganda for sure. All Right, we're gonna take a

(22:07):
quick break. We'll be right back. And we're back, and
it's time to sort of check in with a whistleblower
ongoing my alarm zaga was it was? Did you have

(22:29):
a flashback to when you had alarms? Yeah? Just well
no on my phone. Oh just in general that was
always my alarm. It was in the morning. No, Now
it's no diggity, no doubt. Oh, something a little bit easier, yeah, yeah, yeah,
just the beginning whistle does make you feel in a
good mood though, when you wake right away. Yeah, I've
had I've noticed when I used to wake up to alarm,
the song that would wake me up was ruined because

(22:50):
I hated my own mad at it. Yeah, that's a
whole other show. What are you saying about our constitutional democracy? Yeah?
So all right, and I'm just kidding. I feel like
we need to take a step back, like, you know,
just kind of through osmosis, taking in like what the
media is saying right now. It seems like they're treating
this like another Trump scandal, sort of we've were crossing

(23:14):
the rubicon right rather than this is like even even
on the left, the Democrats are treating it like, I mean,
this is we've only had three four impeachments, three impeachments
in the history of the country. I don't I don't
even think that's giving it the problem. Like I think
this is outside of US history, Like you can't judge

(23:36):
it on the continuum of US history because that's not
who this is. This is a dictator trying to sweep
to power and end the country as we know it.
And he's not gonna stop until he's done that, or
he's in prison, like it doesn't matter. I know, like
a lot of people are just like it's really easy

(23:58):
to under rate him or or just like be like, ah,
he's an idiot. But whether he's you know, just exactly
the right type of idiot for this moment, or he's
like a genius, he's effective at what he's doing. And
it seems I just got the feeling in the past
twenty four hours like he's successfully weathering the fact that

(24:22):
he admitted to cheating on an election that's currently going on.
And that's like so stark, like that's that's the whole thing,
that's the whole system, Like and and the things that
are supposed to check him are the media and Congress,
and he's basically rendered them moot at this point, and

(24:47):
we're still I feel like we're still treating like that.
That's what seems different this time to me is Congress
just has proven like there there's nothing that can be
done well because we're we're up against somebody who literally
doesn't give a funk about the law. Like and in
that letter right where he was like telling Congress, he's

(25:09):
like I'm not fucking with this and like literally like
I'm not really feeling this, so go on, like I'm
not gonna do anything. And the way the language that's
being used right characterizing like the impeachment thing he's calling
in that letter right says never before in our history
has the House of Representatives under the control of either
political party taking the American people down the dangerous path

(25:32):
you seem determined to pursue. So that is saying I'm
diametrically opposed to a constitutionally UH sanctioned UH ability or
power granted to the Congress, and then saying then to
try and spend this as overturning the election is another thing,
like we're going into we're not actually acknowledging what's happening.

(25:52):
It's all trying to obscure what's actually going on. And
it's kind of like that idea. I always bring up
the same thing from history of like when the Vikings
pulled up to continental Europe. They were used to just
smashing motherfucker's and taking their ship, and they came to
Europe and they saw fucking monasteries and ship where there
was a lot of money, gold or whatever, that we're

(26:14):
being protected by monks who were like relying on people's
faith or fear of God to deter people from going
into the fucking places and stealing everything and smashing it up.
The Vikings pulled up, they have they don't have that context.
They said, this is it. Yeah, watch me smash the
funk out of y'all. You take this ship. And that's

(26:35):
where like what the people used to have the fear
of God in them, and now we are we are
fully in this mode now where other people might have
been like, shit, okay, a subpoena that that I should
probably follow that because you know the law and not
going to respond to that stuff like I don't. I
don't have a solution other than that. Everybody needs to
start taking it like way more seriously and recognize it

(26:58):
as the you know, exist anchol threat that it is.
But he is, He's told us who he is. He's
a dictator. We're going to if he gets away with this,
we're going to be letting him get away with being
a dictator. Uh, we haven't had one of those in
American history. The president is other dictators and how their

(27:19):
regimes started in other countries. That's who he wants to be.
That's who our institutions are letting him be or you know,
not trying to let him be. But the media, the
mainstream media, like he's basically invalidated them with the whole
multi year fake news thing. Uh, electoral politics he's invalidating

(27:40):
by being able to use the powers of the presidency
to cheat on the election. And the other branch of
the government they're just not holding up. And we keep
expecting them to come in and prove we're different from
history and we're different from those other countries that became dictatorships,
and that doesn't seem to be happening like that. There

(28:03):
needs to be a change in order for that to happen,
because otherwise, like that's he's not going to go away.
If he gets away with this, He's not going away
next year. And I don't think he's able to win
five years from now if he's still alive. I think
he's going to you know, the more we let him

(28:24):
act like a dictator who gets to strong arm everyone
and every institution, the more the more rope he's going
to take, the more he's gonna do that, and the
harder he's going to be to get away, to get
out of the office. I think the hard thing is
hearing you know, Republicans or at least Lindsey Graham being
like I'm trying to get all the Republicans to sign
a letter in the Senate basically saying we won't we

(28:45):
absolutely won't take this seriously in the Senate. And I
think we also need to really really begin looking more critically,
I mean not that people aren't already, but also looking
at who exactly is enabling this too, Because much as
we focus on like why is Trump doing this, why
is this all all this other should happening to we
should be probably demonstrating in front of the offices, in

(29:09):
front of these Senate Republicans because these are the people
who truly are allowing this to happen. They're sort of saying, well,
this is my team. I'm because we've gone into such
our own corners and to such an extent where we're
over not allowing ourselves or they are not allowing themselves
to see the threat that this person poses. Uh, we
need to begin to hold their feet to the fire too.

(29:31):
And I think that's something that's actually missing. A lot
of the reporting is like, oh my god, that can
can you believe the Justice Apartment doing this and this
blah blah blahs, Like well, hold on, what about the
senators who are still like just standing idly by and
creating this atmosphere for Trump to flourish into. And I
think that's another point of rot that has to be addressed.

(29:51):
Um and a little bit more like emphasis on that too,
because you know, this is happening everywhere in the world
right now too. There many countries at the same time
who are being like, we're pushing back against corruption. We're
seeing it's happening in Puerto Rico, it's happening in Ukraine,
it's happening in fucking Bolivia, is happening in Haiti, It's

(30:12):
happening in Iraq, it's happening in Hong Kong. It's there
are fucking so many places where Egypt where they're saying, yo,
y'all are fucking us the people, what what's good here?
And I think that's a point where I'm not sure
Americans are quite at that. You know. The beauty of
this system is that they've deceived us as voters and

(30:34):
citizens into thinking this is the best thing that's going on,
and everything is pure. And now we're at that point
now where all that fucking corruption and rot is we're
now seeing in the form of ineffective governance, ineffective checks
and balances. The only thing they trying to do is
check their balances, you know what I mean, in their
bank account exactly. But it's this is sort of this

(30:58):
is the byproduct of all of this now and we're
actually I don't know what could I don't know what
kind of sea change could happen among American people, Yeah,
because they're in more danger than the mainstream like sort
of assumption on either side seems to realize we are
well because I think the Democrats seem to be like, Okay,
you're going to really just focus, say not not on

(31:20):
to this, but then than they did. Now what I
just don't think. I mean, people say this all the
time about the Democrats, like not enough backbone, right, But
I'm guessing this is the part. Now, what remedies do
we have within our constitution to have a how do
you swing back on this? Because what how do you
answer illegality with what more illegality? Because the the I

(31:45):
mean really the only shot we have or people are thinking.
I was like, well, we'll just have to sue and
then the Supreme Court will ultimately decide. But do we
really have faith to these people because we've seen over
the you know, the last few decades that just become
a fucking you know, the the coach staff for the
new corporatocracy like, yeah, I get get our people who
you know, vote in our favor there, right, So I

(32:06):
don't know, it's it's it's does seem bleak. But then
I'm curious, as we say, with money, what happens when
the money gets weird? What happens when the economy does
really terribly because already the deficits up. What's then when
Trump took office, the farm bailout is already twice the
auto bailout. But I mean, I don't. I don't think

(32:28):
we can count on the recession to come safe. It's like, well,
that's what I'm saying. I don't know. And also remember
how easy it is to spin like ship. It doesn't
really matter what the facts are to this administration the people, right, no,
but but that's what they get sold, you know what
I mean. So it's like just because um Obama when
he was in office reduced unemployment and did so well

(32:51):
for the economy and it transferred over to Trump's term,
doesn't mean the Trump is good for the economy, but
they will spin it like that for But I'm not
It's just this is the same thing that if it
starts failing, they can be like, well, we're dealing with
the democratic policies still from Obama. That's really what the
problem is. I'm not talking about how you spend the
recession to voters. I'm talking about the moneyed class in

(33:13):
this country that are truly at the levels of power,
the people who are like, yeah, let me get those
tax cuts, the people who are really pillaging like the country.
And I think there's a lot at stake for those
people too, because at the end of the day. Their
god is money. We saw that with the NBA, we
see that with other video game cover all the China
stuff that's going on. No one wants to threaten their

(33:34):
revenue streams. So I'm curious if at a certain point
those have been the moments where people have been like, oh, jeez,
this trade wars sucking us up. What are we gonna do? Like,
is there a point where that moneyed banking class, the
investment bankers of the world, the corporations of the world,
it gets becomes untenable for them. I don't It seems

(33:55):
like everything he does is ends up actually benefiting the very,
very wealthiest and most powerful people, Like, yeah, it's fucking
the farmers, but it's not necessarily fucking people who are
viewing things from like a macro economic level and just
kind of looking at America as an economic competitor to China,

(34:17):
like they're that's sort of how he's viewing it too.
And you know, his tax cut is bad for the
overall economy, but uh, it's good for the wealthiest, like
the absolute the forty wealthiest households in America, and they
so it seems like I don't know, I I did

(34:39):
hear a political scientist talk about how he thinks that
the only thing that people were reacting to and past
impeachments was the economy. So like Clinton, we look back
more like people just didn't care about the sexual more
is but when you actually asked them about that, but

(35:00):
we're like not happy with Clinton, but they were just
the economy was moving in the right direction, and so
they they're opinion basically followed the economy, and the economy
is doing well right now. So he doesn't see opinion
changing on this story unless the economy starts going in
the shipter Uh, And I I guess you know, it's

(35:22):
debatable whether the economy is doing well. But his take
is that like the stock market and ship like that,
whereas Nixon, like his the big public opinion turn about
actually happened right as the economy was hitting the shifter.
So it's like those things need to I guess align
with one another. Uh, in order for something to to change,

(35:48):
is his theory. It's also that everything has been at
an eleven for like a couple of years, so people
have run out of outrage and like, I'm definitely not
the first person to say that, but people I don't
know how you get people interested in they're like increasingly
horrible dictator moves that are happening in this country when

(36:09):
they've already been like what the fund is happening for
for years. Yeah, I think that is really a good point.
I think that is what we're seeing right now is
just that people like there's no sense of proportion anymore,
because we've spent the last year, you know, being told
everything is life and death, and you know, because it

(36:30):
kind of is, but he just has a a tendency
to just take up all the oxygen in the news cycle,
and so it's it is exhausting. And we've talked before,
just from a historical perspective, how in the early thirties,
when the Nazi swept power and we're doing all this
outrageous stuff, all the headlines were about that. But by
the time they you know, started the Holocaust and started

(36:53):
invading other countries, none of the headlines in Germany or
like in even surrounding countries were about that. Because people
are just fucking tired of it, That's what it was.
And it was just years and years of reading those
headlines and you can only right the same story. It's
almost like a hack in the time space continuum, where

(37:14):
it's just like, yeah, just keep doing the same ship
over and over and over again. And it's sort of
like Trump's thing where he accuses his enemy of the
thing that he has done bad so that when they
find out what he's done bad, he you know, there's
just people have already heard that word a hundred times

(37:35):
and it's just kind of losing all meaning. Yeah. I mean,
the one I think, the one thing I can feel
somewhat good about is that some of the other cases
that are floating through the courts are absolutely not going
Trump's way, and there they are getting orders on certain
things to do, you know, like right now, there's this
whole idea of them trying to keep the some of
the grand jury material from the Mother Report away from Congress,

(37:58):
and their argument the judge was asking like, so do
you think in wat in the Watergate like impeachment, they
shouldn't have had this material, but like like law enforcement
these other people should And they're like, yeah, absolutely, they
shouldn't have had that in the Nixon era. And the
judge's response was, wow, okay, that's a very interesting argument,
Like and I can't believe I'm hearing this, so I

(38:21):
think there because that's the thing though, too, when it
gets to court, there are moments where they are absolutely
just trying to rewrite the law in a way that
makes no sense because it's purely a stalling tactic. It's
not based in any legal argument. A lot of this,
a lot of the stalling tacts are I mean, I'm
sure they've they found clever ways to try and maneuver things,
but for the most part, a lot of these things
are there because they just they're like, look, we'll just

(38:42):
take a ridiculous take. We'll try and run out the clock.
Maybe they won't be able to get a vote on
impeachment until closer to the election, and then they won't
take a vote because then they don't want some of
the vulnerable people in the House or Senate to have
to have that on their record and answer for that.
There's this like, uh, there's just a lot of bullshit. Yeah, um,
but yeah, it's hard to know because clearly the Congress

(39:06):
is unable to be a check on the power of
the executive at this point. So I guess we'll see
what the judiciary does. Hopefully one of the three, but
if not, I mean, I think it's true. That's something
people really do need to understand, Like what, you know,
this isn't a uniquely Trump thing. This has been America
since you know. It's inception of this sort of imbalance.

(39:29):
And I think it's easier when like the times were
really good in the in the middle of this last century,
up until the end of this up until the beginning
of this one, and as people are becoming starting to
see what is really happening, you'd hope that we can
tap into some kind of sense of outrage to try
and restore some kind of balance. But that's why it's

(39:51):
important to look at the kind of candidates we want
to run also because ultimately the business as usual type
people who are here to be like, oh, yeah, I'm
here for you a small government and blah Blahla's like
that's not clear enough, and I think you're just a
pod person caping for a corporatocracy. Like we need we
need to actually put human beings back into these positions.
But yeah, it's a fucking it's a long ass process

(40:14):
and a terrible evolution. We're having to witness install motion
right now. But you know, we've successfully done long processes
that got us things that we then immediately started taking
for granted. But you know, it can be done. I
did want to talk really briefly. There was a chart
that I was talking about earlier this week about basically

(40:35):
the tax rate as it applies to different income groups,
and it kind of shows the evolution over time. And
you know, in nineteen fifty it goes up in an
up direction, so the people who are the richest four
hundred households in the United States are paying the highest

(40:56):
tax rate. Uh, and then it just steadily goes in
the opposite direction until uh, this past year two thousand eighteen, Uh,
the top four hundred households are paying the lowest tax
rate because of loopholes and just various things they are
able to exploit. UM, and they're The article that that

(41:22):
chart appears in explains how Trump's tax cut has affected
you know, middle class and poor families basically keeping their
taxes flat. And uh. You know, meanwhile, wealthier families and
the wealthiest families have seen just enormous returns. So it's
going even more in that direction. And this is as

(41:45):
America is seeing, uh, wealth and balance and income imbalance,
inequality on level with like you know, developing nations or
third world countries or whatever phrase you use, and that
guy Hartman is like an economist and you know general
take machine. I was talking about how you know, there's

(42:05):
a multimillion dollar effort through these news organizations and through
Facebook to create people who are going to buy this
mentality or this idea that we need wealthy people and
we need to keep their taxes low, and all these
myths that helped to keep right and all these ideas,
whether it's distraction and blaming other people, that keep a

(42:28):
very large group of Americans locked into this mentality that
this is fine, like voting against your interests, that there's
no such thing as voting against your interests. And that's
a very interesting point because that is something that has
been cultivated over time because these are the exact people
who you can say, I know you're you're mad about
these costs of living in these these this, this, that

(42:48):
and the other, but are you willing to actually see
who you're voting for and what the policies that they
enact actually do to you? And then but that's part
of the I mean, to a certain level, it's also
happening on left in terms of just sort of blindly
following your side or whatever, but specifically to be like
voting against your own interests, Like this is also a

(43:09):
part of the Grand Plan as well. Yeah, and I
mean the left is growing and growing, so I don't
know how much that's blindly following, you know, as much
as it. I just mean more like there are people
who are just blindly will take listen to takes of
centrist or neoliberal talking points not begin to examine them.
I think that in and of itself is a form
of people just sort of droning off. But then there's

(43:31):
a very other specific brand too, where it's like, let's
not look about let's not think about corruption or what
these people were voting in what they do. It's more like,
hey man, we're just trying to make America great. Let's
keep that ship vague. Yeah. But anyways, that chart and
this op ed is part of a review of a
book called The Triumph of Injustice that is about how

(43:51):
really wealthy people and companies have found ways to not
pay taxes and how that is a huge you injustice
that has actual impacts on you know, the lives of
people and people's ability to live happy, healthy lives that
are just not die um. And I think it's being

(44:13):
released next week, but it's you know, they do have
solutions in the book that are about how to adapt
the tax code, and I think some of the Democratic
candidates in the election are actually adopting some of their suggestions.
I think Elizabeth Warren's tax plan is actually pretty heavily

(44:34):
influenced by these two award winning economists. I think it's
also an attitude like and a mentality thing because when uh,
when we went to Helsinki for the podcast, like, the
thing that struck us so much is that the government
there invests in their citizens. They think that's one of
their greatest strengths is having that and caring about their people,

(44:57):
so providing infrastructure to support that, not to just say
that it that's how their government works. And then it's
not an accident that that that's considered to be the
happiest country in the world. It's because they're not looking
at their citizens as a piggy bank, you know, or
as a resource to exploit. They're looking at their citizens

(45:20):
as a resource period, right, Yeah, And I mean that
I just think that it's dishonest to pretend that the
you know that America isn't completely different from that, and
that you know, the extremely wealthy are aren't you know,
basically robbing the country blind like that that's what has happened. Well,

(45:43):
if you just look right, like even Inten McDonald's workers
in Denmark made twenty an hour twenty u s d
an hour, and here we're still out here trying to
be like can we get fifteen? And if you really
think it, like you know, back in probably two thousand
eight or something, in this book called Screwed About, how

(46:04):
like the middle class has been dismantled again by Tom
Hartman raises this point of like, if you really actually
tied CEO paid a minimum wage around the time he
wrote that book, a minimum wage should have been twenty
five dollars an hour. So probably now at this point,
minimum wage should probably be thirty five an hour. If
we're talking about if it's if we're if the workers

(46:24):
are going to be paid proportionately to what the CEO is,
how exponential their growth is in their income, then that's
what minimum wage should be. And I think a lot
of people don't really take into account that we are
fucking getting suckered by people that are this wealthy it's like, well,
you know, if if people work uh, forty hours a week,

(46:44):
you gotta give him an hour lunch or something, blah
blah blah, Well maybe they'll work thirty eight hours, you
know what I mean? And how these corn people cut
these corners at the cost of our own quality of life.
And I think that's really hopefully people really get in
touch with the true class warfare that is actually going
on in this country and a lot of the development,
and it's signed into the health care system and signed
into the schools and the prison it's all of it.

(47:08):
Our focus should be on how can we make our
citizens the most happy and have the most enriched lives
instead of how can we get the most money out
of them. We don't care if they die, We don't
want to take care of them if they're sick. Fuck
you because how much it gonna cost. I'm gonna cost
it comes down, right, because the profits are the fucking god.

(47:30):
But how much it's gonna cost is like, that's an
important part of the thing, is that the reason we
don't have as much money to pay for these things
is because the richest one percent are actually not paying
their fair share, right, not even close to it. Like
it's so this book with these two economists suggest a
you know, progressive tax code that's more in line with

(47:54):
the tax code at the outset of like America's greatest
period of prosperity. The last time it was imbalances it
currently is was right before the Great Depression. So take
that for what it is. But they just say, you know,
bring in the richest one percent would roughly have to
pay double the tax rate that they're paying now or

(48:14):
six which would bring in seven billion dollars a year
or four percent of g d P, enough to pay
for universal pre k, an infrastructure program, medical research, clean energy,
and yeah, they point out those are the kinds of
policies that lift economic growth because, like you said, you're
treating your citizens like assets, like you know, things to

(48:38):
be invested in, as opposed to things to be exploited
like or barnacles that you need to scrape off the
hull of the SS predatory profit s s U. S dollar. Yeah,
all right, we're gonna take a quick break and when
we come back, we're gonna talk about footballers wives. And

(49:05):
we're back, and Myles, let's get right into the footie
drama because I need now, man, It's okay. So in
the UK they refer to the wives and girlfriends of
footballers as wags. Okay, that's what they call them wags
over there, and right now there's where does that stand for?

(49:28):
Wives and girlfriends? Got it? Okay? They call them that
here too. Oh did they adopt that? Now? For a
long time they had a wags show on TLC or
BROB or something like that. Hey, um so right now
the drama is between the wives of two England strikers.
Will not anymore for Wayne Rooney, Wayne Rooney who famously
played for Manchester United and for d C United and

(49:50):
Jamie Vardy who plays for Leicester City. Uh and is
a very interesting character. Just some background on Jamie Varty.
He's still good because he's all right. I mean he's
not nearly as good as this season when Lester won
the league in um, but around this guy, he like
it was kind of the dude at certain points he
had to play with an ankle agle monitor on for

(50:12):
some shit he got into I think may have been
drink driving or something as they call it in the UK.
And also Wayne Rooney also, uh, he's been he's been
cheating a lot on his wife, a lot of drink
driving over there too. Um but interesting fact by Jamie
Vardy there was a in his book he had like
a dead leg that he couldn't get over, and the

(50:33):
physio was like, what the fund is going on with you?
We're like, we're rehabbing, arresting, and he find out this
dude has just been drinking a bunch of vodka. Uh.
And so what he would do is he would fill
up like a three leader bottle of vodka with only
red and purple Skittles because he liked the flavor and
that was like his fucking uh. And he also famously

(50:55):
when he would do that before playing or like I think,
like whenever, like that was just part of a ship.
I mean he would drink a ton a red Bull
before playing um and famously took a ship while playing
Arsenal in the middle of a match. Wait, what do
you mean like on the field? No? No No, no, he
like left, This isn't a bigger deal on the field.
I need more. Another thing is he would say in

(51:15):
the season that his team won fifteen and sixteen, he
would drink basically a bottle of like half Gator gade
half port every night that was his pre match me
drink or the night before and then the day of
he would drink a double espresso and three cans of
Red Bull. Anyway, so he's on his own vibe. So

(51:35):
back to the lecture at hand for you. So Rebecca,
so his wife, Rebecca Vardy and Colleen Rooney, wife of
Wayne Rooney, are into some ship right now because uh,
Colleen Rooney was noticing a lot of ship from her
personal life was ending up in the sun the tabloid
over there and couldn't understand because she had her own

(51:56):
like private Instagram account that was only for people she
knew personally. So she was like, how the fuck is
sh I'm talking about here ending up there? So she
concocted a little fucking experiment to see how where the
leak would go. Yeah, so she started on her stories.
She blocked everyone she followed or that was following her
except for one woman, Rebecca Vardy. Okay, and was like

(52:17):
and for five months started putting in bullshit stories to
see if any of them would end up in the sun. Like.
So she's like, oh my basement flooded or this other thing.
Like she went to Mexico to for some kind of
experimental thing where she would be able to select the
gender of her child when she was pregnant, and these
things made it into the sun. So then I think
yesterday she came out with it and was like, so

(52:40):
let me gather around kids. I've been doing this experiment
because a lot I've noticed a lot of disturbing things
have been shown up in the tabloids. And for five
months I've been doing this thing, and it's Rebecca Vardy
and her excuse M. Now I will read the defense
that Rebecca v already tweeted out for this kind of
you know, underhandedness. She says, as I have just said

(53:02):
to you on the phone, I wish you had called
me if you thought this. I never speak to anyone
about you, as various journalists who have asked me to
over the years can vouch for. If you thought this
was happening, you could have told me, and I could
have changed my passwords to see if it stopped. Over
the years, various people have had access to my insta,
and just this week I found I was following people
I didn't know, and I never followed in my life.

(53:24):
I'm not being funny, but I don't need the money.
What would I gain from selling stories on you? I
liked you a lot, Coneen, and I'm so upset that
you have chosen to do this, especially when I'm heavily pregnant.
I'm disgusted that I'm even having to deny this. You
should have called me the first time this happened. Heartbreak emoji.
Do we think? I think when you start doing the

(53:47):
I mean, I'm starting to follow counts. I never seen it.
Come on, it's just, uh, you love to see it though.
I really do like that. Her story is that somebody
broke into her account found out about this other woman's

(54:07):
Instagram posts, maybe by following her. So someone broke into
her account to follow someone else, I guess, and get
secrets about their private life, and then sold those secrets
to the sun. Maybe if if we're living in her world. Huh,
it's a it's a tough sell. It's a hard bargain,
that is. Yeah, I'm not buying it. Come up with

(54:27):
a better lie, Colleen. Well the no, Colleen is the
victim here, Colleen, But you know a victim, don't play
the victim. Colleen Rooney Yo Wayne has been doing her
dirty for a long time pregnant. He was like sleeping
around on her, having like three sims and ship. So
she's been she's been through it. His name is Wayne Rooney.
This is on her. Yeah, he had terrible hair plugs.

(54:49):
Did you not marry a guy named that? I thought
he was in his fifties? You did? Yeah, just legitimate
based on like I had seen him like many, like
a decade ago, and I think it was during one
of the World Cups when he was like the best
player on England's team, and I was like, oh, well,
that guy must be very old at that time, and

(55:12):
now he must be like playing on the seniors Tour
or whatever. This he'll be thirty, I think four this year. Yeah,
he's dominant. He's scored some pretty wild goals in the MLS,
which people tend to do when they come over from Europe.
But um, so this is like if the Shack Damian
Lillard beef were their wives. Yeah, kind of maybe, I mean,

(55:37):
and a little bit messier. I don't know what their
beef is to begin with, really, um, but I do
know that there was an interesting stat for the amount
of minutes Wayne Rooney and Jamie's already played together on
the pitch. They never created his goal scoring chance for
the other player. Yeah, so that's true, not a lot
of harmony. And that's that three lion squad. That's how
you know. Yeah, that's how you know exactly right, Uh
And any thoughts on this, Sophia, I mean, just too

(56:00):
many almost. Yeah, it's just a mess. It's a mess,
and it's I don't I really don't know if Rebecca
already was like trying to make money or she's just
really hated you know, there's got to be something else, right,
Like if Rebecca I've already really wasn't I believe she
probably was the one obviously the least her friend over
was it her friend or was it one of those

(56:22):
things where she's like, it's all because you didn't come
to my baby shower type of ship, or like you
fucking shaded me at this restaurant right there, competitively fucking
the best soccer player in England. Well, I wouldn't go
that far. You wouldn't know. They're not their peaks weren't
at the same time. So it was hard like Jamie

(56:42):
already had his time a few years ago, and Wayne
when he had his like seven years ago. So right,
but I'm just wondering if she was like feeling. But
I guess historically, right, like Wayne Rooney was the man,
and then when Jamie's already had his huge season, then
he became the man. So maybe since there were two
mans on the Okay, all right, we'll shout out to

(57:03):
the shout out to them. Uh, let's check in with
the ongoing uh men story. Uh. We haven't checked in
for a while, but Romean Pharaoh's book is dropping of October,
and it's got some details in it that are horrifying.
Or is the book specifically about Matt Lower The books

(57:25):
about the whole thing, but the whole Weinstein got it right.
But he he was the one who broke the Loer
news and in fact, he was at NBC News when
he was building the Weinstein story, and NBC News was
he was trying to block the story. And there's some

(57:48):
actual amazing quotes from the book and on that subject,
says from this Variety article. The book paints NBC News
executives as obstructive in his Weinstein investigation, as Pharaoh amassed
his reporting about Weinstein. Oppenheim Noah Oppenheim, who was the
head of NBC News asked him, like, is this really

(58:10):
worth it? Oh my god, I suggested, no one knows
who Weinstein is. Pharah was eventually told to stop reporting
the story because it was under review at NBC Universal.
This is a Steve Burke decision. It's an Andy decision.
Richard Greenberg, the head of NBC News is the investigative unit,
told him, uh, and so, since he didn't believe NBC

(58:30):
would ever run his story, he took it to The
New Yorker and promptly want a pulitzer. So good call
on that one. Dip shit. Yeah, well, seeing again, you
see the kinds of people in positions of power that
keep this kind of ship in place. All the people
at NBC News. You have someone who is being like
this needs to be reported, and people dragging their feet
and enabling this ship. Yeah. So you love how good

(58:52):
Ronan Pharaoh though, is that is at his job. He's
like a fucking hound dog. He's like, what's that? The
scent of injustice solved it? Yeah? Um, so what is
this new? The our thing basically is it's going from
he was having all sorts of extramarital affairs all over

(59:12):
the desks at NBC. UH news to rape allegation the
colleague that he's right, so uh and his statement is
just the smuggist ship that you've ever heard. But so basically,
the colleague was drunk and they were hooking up, and
she said no to a certain sex act and he

(59:35):
just went and did it anyways, And she says, first
of all, she was too drunk to consent, and second
of all, he you know, raped her. Uh And in
his defense is like you was consensual. Basically it was consensual.
And here let me describe in detail what sex acts
were engaged. One of the really brutal details is that

(59:58):
she was still at NBC News was when Lour was fired,
and she was made to sit in meetings where people
who probably knew she was the accuser were like casting
doubt on her account and defending Lour and fuck yeah.
NBC eventually paid her some figure settlement after putting her

(01:00:20):
on medical leave, and asked her to release a statement
saying she was leaving to pursue other interests and that
NBC News had been an example of how to properly
handle sexual assault in the workplace. Oh yeah, I think
the second help you enable guy by installing trap doors
in their office, the door lock, the lock button, Like

(01:00:41):
that's like literally some super villain ship. Like no one
in real life has a locking mechanism under their desk
like that, that's Mr Burns ship. That's so weird and
fucked up. Don't bring Mr Burns into this. Don't just
smirch his good name arch that selfish billionaire. We're also

(01:01:03):
learning some creepy details about James Franco, who sort of
I don't know like what happened. It was it was
almost like he his name got brought up at the
very end when people are like, all right, enough with
this story, let's move on. I don't know his fun
out of that one. Really, yeah, I mean I think
he also just like the Earth. But how James Franco
hasn't had consequences for all the ship? He want an

(01:01:26):
s on l and made fun of the fact that
he was texting with that high school girl like Instagram
damning do you remember that? Oh? Yes, Christ? Like what
are we doing? What's wrong with that? Like? How good
an actor do we think he is? I don't think
he's good enough to ignore him fucking underage girls, but
he's got that vibe of a chill stoner and then

(01:01:46):
like I've always thought that his brother Dave Franco was
the good one, and he's the trash Dave. Oh, David
is the trash one. David I think is the good one.
He's funny and nice. I hopefully that's that whole James
is well, Yeah, and all the worries basically because you
know what, he had to answer questions about the practices
of his like studio and acting school basically where he

(01:02:07):
was making women do a lot of things they didn't
want to in the name of like this is an
acting class. And I remember he was like, you know,
like whatever I gotta do, Like I'll do like what
you know this, I'm not gonna say sorry, but I'm
gonna say I'll do whatever whatever else to make amends
or I'm open to hearing these women and the balls
on him to say that that was a class. No,

(01:02:29):
you were auditioning women to like force them into pornography
for you. Yeah. He had a school, an acting school
that had a propensity for letting attractive women in and
offered a seven and fifty dollar master class for sex
scenes right in which they had the video taped themselves

(01:02:50):
simulating sex sign away the rights to the recording. Uh.
And in these acting classes, women were routinely pressured to
engage in simulated tex acts that went far beyond the
standards in the industry. So it wasn't like like there
there's no claim to what he was doing was uh, educational.

(01:03:11):
It was just you know, him trying to get away
with whatever he could and making people That's what I
was gonna say, and making the women pay for their
own humiliation and ship that's so fucked up, right and
again again just that abuse of power because that studio
set up to be like, look, we make movies, so logically,
if you really want this, we're gonna sort of leverage

(01:03:33):
that to exploit your desire to succeed by making you
self taped these like weird videos that we own. And
you know, the lawsuit that they're finding they not only
just want like the like they're seeking financial damages, but
they want the they want those tapes back destroyed because
they don't just want this ship out there for their weird,
like half baked like porn ship they were making. Um.

(01:03:56):
And Yeah, when he went on Colbert in January, right
after all of this stuff was coming out, that's he
said again his quote unquote apologies said if there's were
institution to be made, I will make it. I'm here
to listen and learn and change my perspective where it's off.
And then exactly then his lawyer uh claimed that a

(01:04:19):
lot of these, like a lot of the people things
that were claimed in this lawsuit had already been debunked.
What the fund does that even mean? Right? So which
one is in particular? It's just like the same is
like the Trump ship where it's just like, yeah, I
mean a lot of this stuff has already been debut
you know, just like throwing ship out there without like
allowing people to follow up and be like, okay, can

(01:04:39):
you talk about specifically what you mean by that? Right?
He also did right now that this has any bearing
on culpability in any of this, But apparently he just
released a movie, his directorial debut, uh that you know,
if you I thought you wanted to go to a
film school run by him before, you would see this

(01:05:00):
of you and have some second thoughts because it's being
dubbed the worst film of two thousand nineteen. It's based
on a well regarded novel about a guy who comes
to Hollywood ninety nine and initially gets mistaken for remember
the Manson Family. Good call on releasing that right after
Once upon a Time in Hollywood, And apparently it's just

(01:05:21):
a real piece of ship, like it's director sound how
like if he what else he has in like development
or like production where they're people are still like yeah, yeah,
like we're still people are obviously still fucking with him. Yea.
His roast wasn't even that long ago. His Comedy Central roast,

(01:05:42):
like we have really normalized, Oh in the Deuce for
guy's in that show? Oh yeah, um yeah, it's it'll
be why the fund is he in the Deuce? That's
what I'm saying. And that's a show about porn, right,
I mean, come on, dude, you're just telling on yourself
like Louis style. And he's playing Twins, which is such

(01:06:02):
an actorly indulgence. Oh man, when Army Hammer did it though,
people loved it in the Facebook network, but as the
winklefi right, I mean that and Dennis Rodman's Twins movie
are Wait now, Dennis Rodman you double impact? Yeah? Is

(01:06:23):
he a twin or? Um? No? I think I can't
believe you didn't bring up No, no't know not it's
not Double Impact was the one where gen Claud Van
dam had a twin, right, played a twin. Yes, that's right,
he has a twin brother, that's right. The one. What
is the Van Damn and Dennis Rodman film? Uh, double
play or something? Rodman was called double Team, don't ship.

(01:06:48):
Don't call it a film. Yeah, I saw that ship
in the theater with my dad because we were both
like yo, Dennis Rodman and Van dam were there. Because
I think it was thirteen or something. It says a
c I agent is in turn for for failing a
mission to kill an international terrorist escaping from his island exile.
He teams up with the flamboyant arms dealer and sets

(01:07:10):
out to find the terrorists and rescue the agent's wife
and son. Anyway, Army Hammer and Van Damm are the
only people who have pulled off the playing twins twin thing? Great?
What about what about twins playing one person a right? Uh?
Full house, That's what I'm saying. And Dylan and Cole
Sprouse in Big Daddy. Oh yeah, that was a great

(01:07:32):
movie and then you watch it now and it does
not hold up. Apologies when I said Dave Carter played
for the Toronto Blue is not Joe Carter. Yeah, okay,
