Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:05):
My grandfather. Famously, we went to this outdoor museum where
the grass is maintained just so meticulously you think they're
using fucking scissors and shit, and but there's little there's
like a little rope and stanchion about like one foot
off the ground, clearly to be like don't get on there.
And I remember my grandpa, this is my mom's dad.
He took his shoes and socks off and just walked

(00:27):
right through this like big grass patch and just was
like walking around. And the museum staff was there was like, sir, sir,
you can't stand there, and I just he just snarled
back at them. He's like, grass is meant to be
walked on, that's right, And then the whole reason it
exists just snapped on him, and again they were like,
oh ship, yeah, he's an elder. I don't know what

(00:48):
else to say.

Speaker 2 (00:49):
He's kind of said that with his chest.

Speaker 1 (00:52):
Okay, give me.

Speaker 2 (00:53):
Some ideas for my next trip to Japan. Grass is
meant to be walked one. Here we're golfed on. Guess
what this stuff I'm walking on is your ass? If
you keep talking me about it, Hello the Internet, and

(01:16):
welcome to Season four thirty seven, Episode three of Der
Daily Zeit guys, it's a production of iHeartRadio. It's a podcast,
Have you guys heard Pots where we take a deep
dive into America's shared consciousness through the day's news. We
also have a new non news history version of The
Daily Zeike is dropping each Monday morning where we do

(01:36):
a deep dive into the Zeikes through the lens of
a different icon. This past week, we've we've done. We've
gone and done it, folks. We did mister Bean. Miles,
you were out from mister Bean. We've got Anna Wintour
coming out, just to give you a sense of the
range of the spectrum.

Speaker 1 (01:54):
Yeah, of icons, Yeah, Miles.

Speaker 2 (01:55):
Do you know the year The Titanic came out and
Men in Black came out? Do you know what the
number two movie at the box office was, I'm giving
it's it was Bean.

Speaker 1 (02:07):
Bean, Dude.

Speaker 3 (02:10):
They cash that in at the perfect time, that nail
timing that you could actually come with, like, obviously no
one's going to touch Titanic, but you came second to
Titanic and right before Men in Black.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
Men in Black unbelievable. And then they dropped a Bean
sequel like I don't know, over a decade later. Yeah,
and in Dean like it also did incredibly well, like
mister Bean is fucking massive around the globe and that
sort of thing you can learn on the iconograph. There
the episodes on Mondays with icon in the title. But

(02:43):
right now here it is Wednesday, May sixth six.

Speaker 1 (02:47):
Yeah, shout out the nurses. It's National Nurses Day. Shout
out my mother in law because it's Savvian Blanc Day.
And also shout out school Nurse Day too, shout out
missing I remember very fondly from my elementary school because
it was hot as fucking the valley and everyone used
to would pretend they had like impact injuries to go
get ice from the from the nurse's office that we

(03:10):
would just eat, uh, and Miss Lee would always be like,
I hurt my knee and then next thing you know,
I'm walking out of there just eating the ice out the.

Speaker 2 (03:17):
Beast crushed ice, pebbled dice, the blue ice, the blue ice.

Speaker 4 (03:25):
Like a freezy mom.

few there were. I'll share them throughout the week.

Speaker 2 (04:04):
Right there just so fucking weird.

Speaker 1 (04:07):
I was like, what the fuck is my subconscious?

Speaker 2 (04:10):
Uh, it's weird in there, man, it gets weird.

Speaker 1 (04:13):
It's weird. There was a mixture of me having a
front row seat to the war in Iran, like truly,
like I had like a theater seat. Yeah, like what
But my friend from high school who always got me
in trouble was the one who got me to go
to this quote unquote show and I was like, dude,
where are we what are we looking at?

Speaker 2 (04:27):
Right?

Speaker 1 (04:27):
And it was like, dude, they're about to bomb this
facility And I was like what the fuck.

Speaker 2 (04:31):
I'll like, you know, they used to do that in
the Civil War, used to right, go have picnics next
to the battlefield, yeah, and be like whoa this is
a good one. I really think the underdogs are going
to pull it off.

Speaker 1 (04:42):
The Sun, Sun, get your binoculars out. You're gonna like
this first volley.

Speaker 2 (04:47):
Miles were thrilled to be joined in our third seat

Speaker 4 (05:04):
It's great to be here. Thanks for having me on.

Speaker 1 (05:05):
Of course, of course, now that sounds like a lot.
I'm guessing it sounds very sympathetic, empathetic. It's just sort
of like that's what That's what I always say when
I'm trying to be really understanding someone.

Speaker 4 (05:16):
Yeah, but kind of in a dismissive way, right, you
know what I mean? That sounds like a lot. Man.

Speaker 2 (05:22):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (05:23):
I don't want to do with that. Ship luck with
that man. Yeah, the tone we're taking with.

Speaker 2 (05:30):
This what's it? So?

Speaker 1 (05:32):
What's the show?

Speaker 4 (05:32):
Like? Show is pretty basic. We're doing episodes every Friday.
You can watch them on YouTube, stream it all on
you know, Apple or Spotify anywhere. But every week we're
gonna open with like a little three minute monologue that
I write where it's like everything that happened that week.
I'll try to make some jokes about We record that
on Thursday, so it feels very fresh and you're getting
something brand new, kind of like you know, like MPRU first,

(05:55):
but like done by an idiot, and then like then, yeah, yeah,
we tacked on an interview with a comedian or an
actor or a filmmaker or whoever whoever's around, you know. Yeah,
it's been a lot of fun. Yeah, we've done a
few now and first one came out last week, and yeah,
thank you, Matt.

Speaker 2 (06:12):
I will say that sounds like just the right amount
to me new show. Actually, yeah, that sounds like just
right enough. We just sneak in with that, Matt. We're
thrilled to have you here. We're going to get to
know you a little bit better in a moment. First,
we're going to tell the listener a couple of things
we're talking about tonight tonight. I don't know when you're

(06:35):
listening to this might be tonight. We're going to talk
about the hottest spectator event in Miles of Dreams, the
Iran War, which we're just getting some mixed messages from.

Speaker 1 (06:46):
Our pills leader on still.

Speaker 2 (06:49):
So we'll talk about that. We got we got word
that it was one had been terminated over the weekend.
I don't know why Arnold Shortza had an Australia in
that one, but just he seems to be in kind
of a kind of a pickle when it comes to
how he's he's communicating around because what he's doing.

Speaker 1 (07:11):
You can only you can only bullshit everyone. I mean,
he can't even really bullshit anyway about this, but he's
it's becoming so flimsy and nonsensical because really the only thing.

Speaker 2 (07:20):
You can say is that was a fucking l and
you need to stop this.

Speaker 1 (07:24):
So it has to be like, no, it's actually they
need to figure He was like, Iran needs to get
it together and sign this non nuclear deal. It's like
they actually had one but in your first administration, you
know what, ass will go on? Tell us more about
what needs to happen.

Speaker 4 (07:38):
Yeah, and then we're I'm sorry, no, no, don't am
I allowed to talk to this problem?

Speaker 2 (07:42):
You are? Well?

Speaker 1 (07:44):
Hold on, well, Jack, let's side bar really quick.

Speaker 2 (07:46):
What do you think this guy's trying to talk?

Speaker 4 (07:49):
I don't want to do almost I don't want to
fuck up your intro.

Speaker 1 (07:53):
I don't know if you like.

Speaker 4 (07:55):
I think the Iron War is I think it's so
infuriated because yeah, like he said, had a deal and
now we're watching this situation where they're like they keep
changing every like like the straight up horror moves situation
is driving me crazy because they're like, we're gonna stop
everyone going, and they're like now we're gonna watch people
go and like now no one's allowed to go, and
I'm like what, it's like, yeah, yeah, it's like I

(08:17):
just I don't I'm not a you know, I don't
know how to fix this, but I just look at
it and go all the world's economy is based on
this little stretch of water. It's like, is this the
best way to do things? It feels kind of insane, seems.

Speaker 2 (08:28):
Like it was the very reason that nobody did this
for like a bunch of total psychopaths who've been running
the United States military for three decades did not do this.
They they all walked up to the decision and we're like, yeah,
but this train, no one is gonna that's rather note. Anyways,
we'll talk about that, and then it's drinks news. We

(08:50):
got two drinks stories. Uh, thermous thermos is blinding people.
McDonald's getting rid of their self serve soda machines.

Speaker 1 (08:58):
What the fuck?

Speaker 4 (08:59):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (08:59):
I mean we might end up just doing all drinks. News.
Fuck the fuck the war, you know, big news, all
of that, plenty more. But first, Matt, we do like
to ask our guests, what is something from your search
history that is revealing about who you are?

Speaker 4 (09:15):
Okay, right now, the history is all NBA playoffs. The
last search was Nick's box score. I want to see
how my boys were doing, and they're doing quite well.
I don't know if you watched last night or if
either of you care.

Speaker 2 (09:27):
But Matt, I did watch. I'm a seventy six er, stand.

Speaker 1 (09:33):
I'm sorry?

Speaker 2 (09:34):
Sure I did, Sure did, and I have conspicuously so.
The thing that you might not know about me is
that I actually control the fit of the seventy six ers.
I have a hat that if I wear it, they
suck shit.

Speaker 4 (09:48):
And were your last night.

Speaker 2 (09:51):
I wasn't. But what I did make the mistake of
I have been completely radio silent about the Sixers all year.
They finally did the thing that I wanted them to
do my whole like, just beat the Celtics. That's all
I asked of And then I mentioned that on in
the Media on Air podcast yesterday and they immediately got

(10:13):
the shit beat out of them so profoundly, so like
I just I like left. I just walked out of
my house muttering.

Speaker 4 (10:23):
To my sir, are you checking out now post Celtics series?
Is it kind of like we did it?

Speaker 5 (10:30):
No?

Speaker 2 (10:30):
I also like the Knicks, and I don't like I'm
not I'm a pretty die easy fan. The main thing
I'm in the NBA for is rooting against the Celtics
for some reason that doesn't really make any sense. So
at this point, I just love the playoffs. I love
the Spurs. But I have a feeling like even before
last night, I was like, I feel like the I've

(10:53):
talked before about how like some NBA teams have their
gravitational equilibrium of like this person is always getting to
this level. For Joe l EmpId, it seems to be
the second round. Anthony Davis or Anthony Edwards is always
in the Western Conference finals Like sorry, I'm just gonna
be there.

Speaker 4 (11:10):
Yeah, he's so fun to watch them. I'm so glad
he's like doing well this year. And I'm like they're
gonna they're gonna keep pushing. I think they'll beat the Spurs.

Speaker 2 (11:17):
Yeah, I'm a big Wemby fan, but like it was
cool that they won and he broke the like blocks
record blocks crazy.

Speaker 4 (11:27):
He's like, god damn. But yeah, the playoffs had been
my my obsession at the moment.

Speaker 1 (11:31):
It's just been fun to see all the per I
can't wait to see the Lakers just dominate.

Speaker 2 (11:35):
The thunder to my heart.

Speaker 1 (11:38):
That might not happen. I probably won't. Actually, why I'm
even saying that.

Speaker 2 (11:42):
When is? When's the Luca back? Do we know?

Speaker 1 (11:44):
No? I mean no idea. There was like there was
a photo of him like doing squats with weights, and
people like We're like.

Speaker 2 (11:50):
Oh, shoot, that doesn't mean anything, dude.

Speaker 4 (11:53):
There's so much drama in these like injury reports and
the fans that get leaked. They're like wear different shorts
that looks like shorts you work out, and it's like,
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (12:02):
For weightlifting, Yeah okay, yeah, no, if he comes back
and be cool, but who knows?

Speaker 2 (12:06):
Yeah, what is something amazing? I do just have to
take my hats off to have you guys heard about
this guy, Lebron James No, I'm taking my hats to him. Yeah,
he like that just once again, what the fuck? Like
amazing that he put the team on his back and
want won that first round series, won any series with

(12:27):
this team. That seemed like like I, I can't can't
believe the NBA even let them like get that, but
like it was like I was worried about the entertainment
quality of that series. I was like, they're gonna lose
by forty every game without Reeves and Luca.

Speaker 1 (12:48):
Now we get to lose by forty every game to
the Thunder.

Speaker 2 (12:51):
That's right, that I do worry about.

Speaker 4 (12:53):
There was there was a moment in the first round
where I think it was Lebron or I can't remember
it's BRONI or but one of them Ali oop to
the other, and I was like, this is the craziest
thing I've ever seen. Playoff father to son. Ali oop
in the playoffs. It's like cartoon stuff. Yeah, very fun
to watch.

Speaker 2 (13:10):
What is something you think is underrated, Matt?

Speaker 4 (13:13):
You know, underrated? Sticking with the New York theme, the
New York Public Library heavily underrated. I'm a big reader,
and I feel like people sleep on the library as
a people sleep in the library too. People. It's it's fantastic.
If you have a card, you can get into all
these free museums. You can put books on hold and

(13:34):
pick them up like the next day, because there's so
many branches here. I'm a huge believer in supporter, So
shout out the NYPL.

Speaker 1 (13:41):
Yeah, E books, dude, I'm sure like yeah, yeah, that's
like the best thing too about like a library card.
It's like I don't even have to leave sometimes. Yeah,
you can just beam it to the Kindle or whatever
you like.

Speaker 2 (13:52):
Audio books check out Libby, you know on those day
you got that.

Speaker 4 (13:57):
I got like a foreign language thing I'm using through
the library. That's great. It's not going great, But trying
to learn Italian, okay, just for just trying stuff, you know,
trying to.

Speaker 2 (14:09):
Just give us a little taste what you got.

Speaker 4 (14:11):
I've got nothing from come on little something?

Speaker 2 (14:18):
Oh h.

Speaker 4 (14:28):
How was I transported so quickly?

Speaker 2 (14:29):
New York has a lot of like I think America
is coasting off of a lot of things that were
like invented in like a while ago, like before the
the extremely wealthy took over all of our institutions, and
we just like have them left over. New York's got
a lot of them. The good public transit system, good
public libraries, museums, all these sorts of things from a

(14:53):
gilded age when rich people still felt like they had
to give people stuff to not not be killed.

Speaker 4 (15:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (15:00):
Yeah, the New York Public Library. There's plenty of them too,
more than one, I think, right.

Speaker 4 (15:05):
There's at Yeah, it's great.

Speaker 2 (15:09):
Yeah, I was. I had Libya's one of my potential underrateds.
We do our er overrated underrateds on Monday morning.

Speaker 4 (15:17):
But just audio.

Speaker 2 (15:20):
No, it's everything. But it's like how it's how you
manage your public library account so you can track which
books you have. I see. Yeah, you can also you know,
get a audiobook or get an ebook. As I was
talking about it, what is something you think is overrated?

Speaker 4 (15:38):
Okay, overrated for you? I'm going to say fandoms in general,
being part of a fandom that is too obsessive is overrated.
There's nothing it's getting too toxic, I think, and too crazy.
I was reading this story about I don't watch the pit,
I should watch the pics. I'm from that area. But like,
apparently there's something actor from the Pit is in a

(15:58):
Broadway show right now. For just in town, and people
were like yelling at her from the from the audience,
like about like checking her charts or something something from
the show that you know, I don't know. And I
was like, but this fandom and I've read other things
about how they get so especially with the pit, they
get so uh. I don't want to say protective. What's
it called?

Speaker 1 (16:15):
You like you want to own this propriety exactly exactly.

Speaker 4 (16:19):
And I'm like, if you're yelling at at at a
person during a Broadway show, I'm like, it's getting too crazy,
Like there's there's nothing cool of being like, oh, it's.

Speaker 1 (16:29):
I see.

Speaker 2 (16:30):
Fandom is like wwe like they like can't tell the
they don't.

Speaker 1 (16:34):
Know how.

Speaker 4 (16:36):
That problem right.

Speaker 1 (16:37):
I wonder if it's like because some people don't like
her character on the show too, Like a lot of
people like, oh I don't like Santos or whatever. What
it is, either way like them or not, just I'm
sure either way you're just you're screaming because you're insufferable,
and you're like that person, Hey, that person not performing
doing their job right now, I'm going to say.

Speaker 2 (16:57):
Yeah, check the chart, intubate them. Do you do that?

Speaker 4 (17:02):
Two hundred dollars to be there, you know what I mean,
Like you're running the night, You're ruining her night. You're like, god, yes,
it's embarrassing.

Speaker 2 (17:08):
Yeah, I don't like her character. Her character makes me
mad In no way is that her doing a good
job at what she does for a living. I'm gonna
take that, and I took that personally. She's trying to
piss me off. What She's gonna come in here and
act like she didn't do that on the pit lady. Yeah, well,

(17:30):
this is the first time I've heard about a toxic fandom,
a fandom being shitty, So I'm gonna have to look
into this. Yeah. I do think sometimes fandom's function is
like or what we have instead of religion, and that
is too much, that's not that's yeah, well.

Speaker 1 (17:50):
I think it's also kind of also stems off from
like this general thing of like people not knowing how
to fucking behave anymore in public, you know what I mean,
Like so much, so many of the norms that like
I grew up with are just like completely have vanished
on some levels where like people aren't like usually if
someone is doing that, like this person's fucking drunk as

(18:11):
fuck and he needs to get out of here right now,
where someone's like, no, sorry, I just I just wanted
to say that. Sorry. Sorry, Like I see so many
videos like people like cross a line and then people
like you can't do that, and they're like oh no.

Speaker 2 (18:22):
Oh really, oh really wait you can see me? Yeah yeah,
yeah yeah.

Speaker 4 (18:27):
I mean even specifically in theater, I've noticed, like I've
lived in New York for like I guess, you know,
like fourteen years now, and like I can still like
in the past few years post pandemic, people will just film,
like during a Broadway show, they'll they'll take up their
phones and just film things. And I feel like that
used to be like the one thing that you just
you know, you just don't kick your phone out during
this is like a two hour experience where you won't

(18:48):
use your phone.

Speaker 1 (18:48):
They're performing live for you right now.

Speaker 4 (18:51):
Crazy yeah, Like I mean that's just theater aticquette, I guess,
but like I've even noticed it on the trains and
like there used to be kind of like this thing
or you know, the door's open, you let the people
off before where you get on, and I now that
I'm like going to shoot that sounds like a lot
of can. I'm on the trains every week. Again, I'm like,
like there are like there are no rules anymore for like, hey,
we gotta like function as a society.

Speaker 2 (19:12):
I go this way, you go that, and we're looking
at yeah.

Speaker 1 (19:16):
Yeah, yeah, I mean I think it's all of like
all these things are just just like a reflection I'm
sure of just how people feel that society or you know,
our culture at large is treating them. Our government is like, well,
if no one's fucking accountable, ever, then what's the fucking point?
Is there a social contract I haven't signed.

Speaker 4 (19:35):
One's really hard to hold. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (19:38):
Yeah, it's like a combination of so many things.

Speaker 2 (19:41):
It's all it's a lot that everybody's having to deal with.

Speaker 1 (19:44):
Yeah, it sounds like a lot. Yeah for Shire.

Speaker 2 (19:52):
All right, let's take a quick break. We'll come back.
We'll talk about international politics. We'll be right back and
we're back. And good news. The Iran war is one. Yeah,

(20:16):
the Donald Trump told us over the weekend, he said Congress,
the ceasefire has terminated the war in Iran. And this
was happened to be on the sixtieth day since he
notified them of the strikes and legally he's supposed to
receive congressional approval within sixty days to continue military operations.

(20:37):
So in no way was it him just checking off
a box and going through the formality. Could you guys
just leave me alone and let me do my war?

Speaker 1 (20:46):
Yeah? Yeah, yeah, it's I mean, we're at that point
now where the illegal war is in. It's like, what
even is a war phase? Where we're now getting philosophical
about it? Yeah, that's what I mean, what the definition
of is, Yeah, you're running out of tools here if
you're now going like, what even what is a woman?

Speaker 2 (21:08):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (21:08):
So I mean obviously there was a proposal that Iron
put forward on how to end this bullshit, but again
that would require concessions from the United States and which
would basically be an admission that they completely fucked this up.
So that doesn't seem to be happening. So it's just
going to be more posturing and confusing rhetoric because the
whole time we're like, what was this about? It's like,

(21:29):
was it that they were going to get a nuclear weapon?
Was it regime change? Was it about the straight of
horror moves? Did BB convince you the sky was green?
It seems to be yes, and no further questions my honor. So, yeah,
there's not one coherent description or goal being described by
the administration right now in regards to any of these attacks.

(21:49):
Lindsey Graham was on Hannity two nights ago.

Speaker 2 (21:52):
Good and Yeah. He kind of explained that's when Seinfeld
would go on Carson, you know, that's the reference that
is even too old for men identify with that. It's
just a thing I know from other podcasts that was.

Speaker 1 (22:07):
That was you as like a twenty year old making
boomers laugh with that reference, Like I enjoyed it. Yeah something. Uh,
that's like when I talk about good times in front
of like older people and about good times, I'm like no,
but I know how to say no, talk like I
know how to talk like you. But here's you know,
Hannity being like, so, what what is a victory? Exactly

(22:30):
in Iran and Lindsey Graham is a great answer.

Speaker 6 (22:32):
We're allowed to happen on his watch. He followed through
on his promise. Now it's a matter of just finishing
this up. How do you do how do you now
define victory as as just seems to be in the
closing days, regain freedom and navigation of the Strait of
her moves if.

Speaker 4 (22:50):
They continue to attack.

Speaker 5 (22:51):
Our allies like the United Air Bimmers. The UAE has
been champion allies. They've done everything we've as and more
so when Iran at tax them with missiles and drones,
we need to be there for the United Air of
members if they do this.

Speaker 1 (23:05):
Yeah, and it has nothing to do with them saying
that they're backing out of Opak or like they'll start,
you know, not using the dollar to trade in oil
with Probably not any of that. But the thing that
he said at the beginning was I think very important.
The thing he said at the beginning was regaining freedom
of silence, and then then he started to entering regaining
freedom of navigation in the strait of horror moves. Okay,

(23:29):
so has anybody told him what the status quo was
before we teamed up with Israel for the.

Speaker 2 (23:35):
Friend that's a win for us. That's that was switch yea,
that was already So what's happening again? Maybe yeah, for
theoretically it could once again happen.

Speaker 4 (23:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (23:49):
So you start award and not change anything, but in
the process waste like an estimated twenty five billion dollars
and killing innocent people. That's that it was already okay, sure, dude,
I was gonna say, it's the never ending Trump playbook
of like fucking something up that no one really asked for,

(24:09):
and then when they when they pull it back and
get it kind of back to where it was, it
will be like I'm looking forward to the day.

Speaker 4 (24:15):
Where they're all on the lawn being like we did it.
It's wrong, and it's like, well, no, now we're just
back to where we're minus. Yeah, all the money, all
the like, it's the it's it just happened with the tariffs.
It's like it's the never ending playbook, like fucking things
up and everyone goes.

Speaker 2 (24:30):
Whoa, wha, what what are you doing?

Speaker 1 (24:31):
I think.

Speaker 4 (24:34):
You guys don't want to give you any credit for
fixing the tariffs.

Speaker 1 (24:36):
It's like, well what it's like, yeah, you like you
break a coffee cup and like you glew it back together,
but like a third of it is like missing, and
you're like, dude, look see, nothing's wrong. It's all good, dude,
not like nothing ever happened.

Speaker 4 (24:48):
Coffee Yeah.

Speaker 1 (24:51):
Inside yeah. Pete Hegseeth is just contradicting Graham because he
was asked about like the war and like now his
operation in the Strait of Horror moves.

Speaker 2 (25:02):
He said, Tuesday, Project Freedom miles that yeah, yeah, yeah,
stranded ships leave the Strait of Horror moves. Because there's
nothing wrong with launching a new military campaign in the
Middle East with the word freedom in it. I just
want to say, really briefly about that Operation Freedom. He
made the announcement on truth Social just seconds after the

(25:22):
end of the PGA event he was watching at one
of his golf clubs, and that was the PJA event
where one of the Secret Service detail then went on
to be caught stalking and then naked jacking off in
the hallway of a woman's hotel room that he was chasing.

Speaker 1 (25:40):
That was a secret That's what the Secret Service.

Speaker 2 (25:42):
That's what the Secret Service is doing.

Speaker 1 (25:44):
That's so and so. Like Pete Hegseth when he was
asked about like they're like, I thought the war is over?
What's going on? He makes said they are separate and
distinct from each other, So that's not the war. This
has nothing to do with the war in Iran. This
Operation Freedom, the Straight of Horror moves. You're like, are
you fucking for real?

Speaker 2 (26:02):
Like this is a transportation question. We're going to send
in the Sean Dush deal with This is something abided.

Speaker 4 (26:10):
This is a boat campaign.

Speaker 2 (26:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (26:13):
And then White House Economic Council Chair Kevin Hassett, he
really went fucking abstract on us because he was like,
you know, what is a war?

Speaker 2 (26:24):
Here?

Speaker 4 (26:25):
Here?

Speaker 1 (26:25):
This is this is his question. This is when he's
being asked by Margaret Brennan like that sounds like an
act of war? What's going on?

Speaker 4 (26:33):
Damin?

Speaker 2 (26:34):
So you said the blockade is still on? A blockade
is an act of war? Are we at war with Iran?

Speaker 7 (26:42):
Iran shut down the straits? Iran shut down the straits right,
and the only ones they were letting through were Iranian
ship said, and President Trump didn't think that was acceptable.

Speaker 2 (26:52):
So we are still at war with Iran.

Speaker 4 (26:56):
Uh, you know what, I don't know what the definition
of war is.

Speaker 7 (27:00):
When we're not shooting and we're negotiating and they're under
a lot of pressure.

Speaker 2 (27:04):
There's so how smug he is. I don't know. You're
trying to get me to say a nice try.

Speaker 1 (27:13):
I don't get And here's my replat, I don't know
what war is?

Speaker 4 (27:17):
Yeah, so why don't you tell me what you think.

Speaker 2 (27:20):
War is go I just did. I just did.

Speaker 1 (27:22):
There's a blockade that feels like that's an act of war.
So where were Well, we're not shooting yet, I mean
we did.

Speaker 2 (27:29):
But by the way, what is this the intercept? I
thought I was on Fox News. Get off my ass lady, you.

Speaker 1 (27:34):
Know, right. Yeah, So it's just now there. There isn't
much to say. The only other thing that they're trying
to contend with is obviously gas prices. Those are not
going down. Flight prices are going up exponentially. Spirit Airlines,
the CEO of Spirit Airlines came out and said, I
don't know what the fuck Sean Duffy's talking about. This

(27:54):
has nothing to do with Joe Biden. It's because we
got the airline is fucked because of crazy fuel prices
linked to the Iran war. So miss us with all that,
and yeah, there's probably some financial mismanagement that also led
to the you know, war performance of their line. But
the thing right now is the fuel prices because of
the Iran war.

Speaker 4 (28:12):
M I didn't go them out like that. That's pretty funny.

Speaker 1 (28:16):
I mean it was just I wasn't as forceful of
a call out of him, just clarifying, He's like, no, like.

Speaker 2 (28:23):
Two times, I'm just like they know they're going down.

Speaker 1 (28:28):
And he's like, no, no, fuck you, you guys gonna
bail us out. No you were.

Speaker 4 (28:34):
Yeah exactly.

Speaker 2 (28:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (28:35):
Yeah. So Greg Kelly on Newsmax has also run out
of intellectual steam on this one. He's trying to convince
people that rising gas prices are not bad, but his
reasons are just essentially like, but like America is like
still like not that much of a fucked up place
to live, so like, just what about that. This is

(28:57):
him and his take on it.

Speaker 8 (28:59):
And I hear this panicking out there panic about gas prices.

Speaker 2 (29:04):
Okay, nobody likes to pay more in.

Speaker 8 (29:05):
Gas, I get it, but crisis mongering, right, the fear,
Oh my gosh, the country is going down the tubes
because gas prices have gone up.

Speaker 1 (29:18):
Now he's playing like a montage of like other people
like other you know, like ABC and people on the
street being like, yeah, this is really fucked up, like
gas has gone up. It's really affecting my ability to live.
And then this is Greg Kelly on the other side
of that panic mongering package.

Speaker 8 (29:35):
Look, nobody likes it, and yeah, sometimes people are going
to have to make some decisions and it's rough.

Speaker 1 (29:42):
Yeah, sometimes you're gonna have to make decisions between like
eating or paying electricity bills or medication and dinosaur juice
for their ford.

Speaker 8 (29:50):
But this is still America and this is still a
pretty good place to live.

Speaker 2 (29:55):
Kind of yeah.

Speaker 4 (30:00):
Shit, I mean, like every night then it just comes
out a little yeah, like that guy is.

Speaker 2 (30:05):
Not does not have a lot going on in terms
of intellectual ability. He was purely like spirit and like
to see him with his spirit sapped, it's just like
it's still pretty good.

Speaker 1 (30:18):
I think, kind of. But again art like calling it
it's like so disrespectful, and I think this is why
the the Republicans are really looking at the midterms now.
There was a report about how like White House counsel
is going around to other cabinet members just being like,
this is the best practices in case you get called
in for an investigation when the Democrats end up taking

(30:39):
back Congress. Oh really, there's like internal preparations like happening
from a legal standpoint about like preserving documents, like when
what to put in writing, maybe what not to put
in writing, shit like that, and again all tied to
the fact that as this drags on and people's lives
get even harder because of rising gas prices, like that
they so from the GOP looks like they're just not

(31:02):
going to do anything. But again when you have Greg
Kelly just sort of laughing this shit off, like being like, look,
some people are gonna have to make choices. It's ask
anyone who has to drive a car.

Speaker 2 (31:14):
This is a This is a nailed on cost of
living for so many people. This is making people's lives
impossible to live.

Speaker 1 (31:23):
Especially if you drive, especially if you drive a lot
for work, or maybe you have to drive a long
distance to your job where your wages haven't gone up.
Laughing off the fact that like gas prices are going up,
you know, at the rate that they are. It just
again shows this sort of total lack of care and
understanding because that's and you know, I think they're just
preparing for it now, being like, well, whatever, man that

(31:45):
maybe we can jerrymander the maps in time.

Speaker 2 (31:47):
I don't know, maybe not a fuck. Wait, do some
corporations not give cost of living increases every month just
to keep trying keep pace with That's yeah, yeah, Joe.

Speaker 4 (32:01):
The extra hammer of it all is like that these
people are like having to their cost of living is
going so high up, and there isn't even this like
thing in the future where you're like, well, at least
we got rid of this this direct threat to my life, right,
there's nothing like at least when we eliminate the all
powerful leader. Now I don't have I can sleep at
night telling my kids we're not going to get killed
by it. Right, It's like that was never something you

(32:22):
thought about.

Speaker 2 (32:24):
Now you've created this like generational trauma that is going
to create like make things worse for your kids, Like
at a time when the mission needs to be like
a World War two style all hands on deck, everybody
fighting climate change. Instead you're just creating a fucking just
shattering everything for no conceivable reason other than that you

(32:49):
are bad at like telling when somebody's lying to you.

Speaker 4 (32:53):
We're living like we're fighting Hitler right now, Like that's
what the sacrifice we're being asked to make. Like we're
all like, we gotta do it, we gotta liberate.

Speaker 1 (33:00):
Are we stopping? We just we just can't be honest
with this senile old man who's running the country.

Speaker 2 (33:07):
It's going to be awkward for us. He's gonna yell
at us and conversation.

Speaker 1 (33:12):
So you're going to have to make him decisions, okay,
because I'm certainly not going to make the decision to
be honest about anything. Jesus Christ, Jesus crazy.

Speaker 2 (33:22):
Let's take a quick break. We'll come back with drinks news.
We'll be right back. And we're back.

Speaker 1 (33:38):
We're back.

Speaker 2 (33:39):
And I've long noticed that, uh, water bottles, you know,
whether they be plastic bottles of water or you know,
the metal canister kind. Sometimes if you if you haven't
opened them in a while. Sometimes if you've been on
a plane, they'll do a type thing. It's like an exhale,

(34:02):
an exhalation.

Speaker 1 (34:04):
Do it on planes all the time.

Speaker 2 (34:06):
My bottle ready to exhale?

Speaker 1 (34:09):
The fuck?

Speaker 2 (34:10):
This was my bottle, Angela Bassett, good pool. Thanks.

Speaker 4 (34:14):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (34:15):
Anyways, this is something that I can't figure out. What
am I a scientist?

Speaker 1 (34:25):
No?

Speaker 2 (34:26):
You know, it has to do with air pressure. Sometimes
it can get really bad though, if you leave food
that has decomposed or emitted gas. The pressure can build
up over time, which can cause the stopper to blow
off the top of a thermos. And there have been

(34:46):
more than twenty seven people who've reported injuries connected to
thermist products, and three of those incidents resulted in permanent blindness.

Speaker 1 (34:56):
Oh my god.

Speaker 2 (34:57):
From they are an ouncing a recall of more than
eight million food jars and bottles.

Speaker 1 (35:05):
Huh, I mean thermists used to be. I do remember
like kids having hot soup and it exploding like in
a thermist because they were they went. They didn't they
didn't like properly burp it. You got to burt that shit. Yeah,
but it wasn't like exploding like these people were talking about,
where like fragments are hitting people in their eyes and
affecting their vision, which the.

Speaker 2 (35:27):
Issue is linked to missing pressure relief functions and the
containers stoppers. When para food or drinks are stored inside,
pressure can build up over time, causing the stopper to
suddenly and forcefully eject when the container is opened. This
is I forget what the story was that we were
talking about, where it was just like, oh, everything's like

(35:47):
getting worse in sitification. Yeah, theentification of everything. Yeah, it's
like we can't even make thermoises anymore without being worried
that we're going to have our eyes blown out, you
know by it. Because like the ones for hot stuff.

Speaker 1 (36:01):
Used to have that little button you could press that
was like yes and then you could open it. But
I'm getting like, what did someone like in the engineering
department like we gotta we gotta find a way to
make this shit cheaper, Like I guess you get rid
of this pressure mechanism.

Speaker 2 (36:14):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, we're gonna start working. My my cousin
has a stopper factory. We're gonna go with him instead.
He can do it for real good price.

Speaker 1 (36:23):
Make stoppers.

Speaker 4 (36:24):
No.

Speaker 1 (36:24):
No, he was making like slammers for POGs. That was
like the big heavy thing. He used it to do
this pog pile. He hasn't been working in a while.
He could really use it. But he's got like he's
got some machines. I think he could probably don't work for.

Speaker 4 (36:36):
Imagine imagine permanently blind from trying to just like have
your soup for lunch at work, Like yeah, you'll never
not be angry about Also like.

Speaker 1 (36:46):
Super related injury when they're talking about like perishable food,
Like I wonder also too, if like someone was like,
oh shit, dude, I left that smoothie in my fucking car,
yeah two weeks ago, and then that thing fucking goes on.

Speaker 2 (36:58):
Have you ever had that, Like you something in the
car and you go and like this thing that's supposed
to be solid is like blown out. It's gained like
fifteen pounds totally. Yes, yeah, yeah, and then you got
to eat that ship because it has magical property.

Speaker 1 (37:14):
It happens all the time with like my kids, like
food pouches, Like he'll like he'll just like eat like
a half an apple sauce thing, and then like I'll
put the thing back on, and you know, you're a parent,
You're like, fuck it, you just throwing it back because
you're like, yeah, you got to keep your eyes on
the road. And then I remember finding one that was
so like in like loaded from the gas that like

(37:35):
I was like touching it very lightly because I've had
those things go off on me from like being too shorthanded.

Speaker 4 (37:42):
The hurt locker out.

Speaker 1 (37:44):
Yeah, it's like, the fuck I should have known that
this blueberry yogurt thing was going to decompose at.

Speaker 2 (37:50):
A ray yog You're you're you're asking for it with yogurt.
There's all sorts of cultures and shit in there. You know.

Speaker 1 (37:58):
Yeah, I get it, I get it.

Speaker 2 (38:00):
I never I've never trusted yogurt. I've been saying that
for years. You can't trust that shit.

Speaker 1 (38:04):
I mean, it's it's like, this happens, Like this was
also happening with Walmart.

Speaker 2 (38:09):
Like, yeah, what Walmart had stainless steel water bottles that
they were selling. They were like, you don't need a
Walla or you know, Stanley just come to us, come
to Walmart and they had eighty five thousand stainless steel
water bottles under fifty hundred fifty thousand. What did I say?
I don't know what numbers were. It's all right, the

(38:30):
hundred and fifty thousand stainless steel water bottles. Where you
call it. When similar problems emerged, it's yeah, yeah, yeah.
Reports of customers being injured after lids of their bottles
forcefully ejected and struck them in the face. Regulators said,
yeah to them, suffered permanent vision loss. So this is

(38:50):
just a thing that is happening. They're they're booby trapping
our fucking thermoses and.

Speaker 1 (38:56):
Water bottles open.

Speaker 2 (38:58):
They're like, whoa, yeah, fuck, are you gonna do it? Really?
Like this is we we need Ralph Nader Like I
was not around for the height of Ralph Nader but
like reading about him in history, I'm like, oh, there
was a person whose thing was I like, do stuff
on behalf of the consumer, Like that's that that is

(39:19):
a lane that people are just waiting to have filled. Yeah, ye,
be the guy who like makes it so that these
companies are like fucked when something like.

Speaker 1 (39:28):
This or maybe not like one person. I think we've
learned our lesson with being like where is the exceptional
one person that can handle this issue? And you're like, oh, fuck, fuck,
never mind this guy.

Speaker 2 (39:39):
So I'm gonna need it to be one guy, and
I'm gonna need him to wear a funny hat and
a cool pair of sunglasses so he becomes iconic. Yeah, yeah,
for sure, for sure have.

Speaker 1 (39:47):
Weird hair, you know, to your point, it is like
the one thing everyone For example, like I found an
old T shirt that I got, like that I had
from the nineties, like a starter tea, like a Dodgers
starter shirt that my mom found in the garage because
I was like, you know, trying to find old clothes
and the fire the quality of this shirt I was,
I was like, what is what did this shirt cost?

(40:09):
Like ninety dollars?

Speaker 4 (40:10):
Right?

Speaker 1 (40:10):
It was so well stitched and shit, and you were like,
that's one of the things that's really becomes apparent to
me with like just a shirt that was like given
away at a Dodger game. Yeah, like in nineteen ninety five.
Is such a much better product than like, you know,
ship people paying like thirty dollars for like a blank
T shirt.

Speaker 2 (40:28):
Now, just like my T shirts have inadvertently tear away sleeves,
you know where they You could just rip the sleeves
off anytime.

Speaker 1 (40:37):
Yeah, it's good effect. When you sneeze of my sleeve
blows off. Jesus, it was that rig the character. Nope,
blows up, just just your runt of the no fruit
of the loom.

Speaker 2 (40:50):
Anyways, keep your head on a swivel when you're opening
your thermoses and water bottles. Yeah, right, And finally, the
humiliation will not end. McDonald's is scrapping their self served
soda machines, and not because they're full of fecal bacteria.

(41:12):
Is that something they said someone is that is a
thing that when they've tested the soda machines that they
have been known to have some fecal bacteria in there
for some reason. I don't know how it's possible. Probably
just like loading the ice without washing hands. Maybe realay's.

(41:32):
It's being widely reported. This is actually news from twenty
twenty three that McDonald's is scrapping their self serve soda
machines and the plan is for it to be for
them all to be gone by twenty thirty two, meaning
that no more stealing coke and big gas canisters, no
more suckling on the phantom nozzle like a newborn when
no one's looking.

Speaker 1 (41:53):
Ah, I'm just wizzing the juice man, just kidding along, Broa, Yeah.

Speaker 4 (42:00):
That's one.

Speaker 1 (42:00):
My boy. I do the I do the orange soda.
He does a mister pib. We call ourselves Romulus and remus.

Speaker 4 (42:06):
Very cool, very cool.

Speaker 2 (42:09):
And then I'm over near the near the door, just
faking a seizure so that they're looking at you guys
doing it.

Speaker 1 (42:15):
Hey, put the ALP thee celicer tab in your mouth now, Jack,
go go go go.

Speaker 4 (42:19):
The McDonald's are like and la it if you pulled
that off in New York, no one ha bet and
I yeah, that's totally acceptable behavior.

Speaker 2 (42:31):
Yeah. People just start complaining about it on Reddit, so
they're now asking McDonald's for like comments on it and
McDonald's is like, no, no comment, Well, franchise. He's admitted
that the free refills are a big draw for people,
but it was reported that the decision was due to
hygiene theft and consumer eating theft.

Speaker 1 (42:53):
Yeah, I can't get the fuck out of here because
somebody with a water cup got like eight ounces of sprite.

Speaker 4 (43:00):
I was gonna say, the sprite margin can't be killed.

Speaker 1 (43:02):
There's no way they're killing. I used to work at
a place that had like a soda found that I
had to change the syrup bags and shit, and we
always had to soak the caps and stuff over night
so that they get all fucked up. I remember asking
my boss. I'm like, you know, cause I was like
a high teenager at the time, like, dude, how much
you did, Like what's a boxer like a sprite thing
the syrup costs? And it was like fucking it was

(43:23):
so such a little money. And I'm like, how many,
like how many cups you guys, like fucking like three
hunds like some you know, some astronomical number. And you're like, oh,
it pays for itself after like two cups.

Speaker 2 (43:34):
The cup costs more than the drink. When they the
cup costs way more than the drink. The drink is
like five cents. Essentially, it's just the cup is the
is the cost. But it doesn't matter, Like it's not
about what it costs them. It's what they can charge us.
Like that's what they've learned, is like it has no

(43:55):
they don't have to they have to like make up
a story about like, well, you know, the costs of
distribution have gone up during the pandemic or you know whatever,
but like they are just going to charge us as
much as they possibly can in order to And the
other thing they're claiming is that you know that it's
hygiene related, but they people have tested the machines both

(44:17):
out like the self service machines and the ones behind
the counter, and the ones behind the counter were found
to have more fecal bacteria than the ones out where
we are.

Speaker 4 (44:30):
Yeah close the whole. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (44:32):
Yeah, it's just so funny when like it's so clear
to naked greed.

Speaker 2 (44:37):
But they're like it's because of Hi, you guys keep
shitting in these machines.

Speaker 4 (44:43):
Yeah, we'll figure it out, but for now, but.

Speaker 1 (44:46):
How are kids going to get that seminal experience of
mixing everything at the fountain.

Speaker 2 (44:53):
Yeah, yeah, I was just gonna say. On Reddit this
week it's being called, uh a tremendous loss for fans
of of what one person is calling super drink Super
drink No, which is that is a very non morbid
name for When I was a kid, they were either
called graveyards, suicide or suicide.

Speaker 4 (45:15):
Yeah, a suicide.

Speaker 1 (45:17):
It was called suicide or swamp water. That was the
two that I remember. At a basketball camp. That was
the first time I heard it called swamp water. Was
when you did everything and it tastes like ship to
be honest, when you put everything in one go. But
it's really like it.

Speaker 2 (45:31):
It doesn't make it past the test phase really for
for anyone except yeah. My dad once coached with the
great NBA coach Rick Carlisle, and Rick Carlisle as a
fulass adult like NBA head coach was still ordering suicides.

Speaker 1 (45:52):
No ordering ordering, not even.

Speaker 2 (45:57):
Myself.

Speaker 1 (45:57):
Don't it's kind of stupid, don't or just don't look.
But he's like, oh, yeah, I'll have a suicide. Sorry,
what is that? Just Just go down your fountain every
single thing.

Speaker 4 (46:06):
Yeah, yeah, give me a little bit of everything, grown
adult hitting everything is insane.

Speaker 2 (46:11):
That an adult being like, give give me whatever you
got and mix it in a big cup is incredible.

Speaker 1 (46:18):
Because it feels like the fucking like it feels like
a thing, Like to your point, like you don't do
it after eleven years old, Like even by that point
you're like, nah, I'm a sprank guy, I'm a orange
soda guy. You're like to do that as a grown
man with a job and ordering it as if that's
a real drink to order is really quite especially.

Speaker 4 (46:39):
When your job is a decision maker.

Speaker 2 (46:41):
Like people look like one of the best all the time.

Speaker 1 (46:47):
Right, here's my starting nine tonight starting.

Speaker 2 (46:50):
Sometimes you just got to like burn you got to
burn off all your bad decisions at the soda pump.

Speaker 4 (46:56):
You know.

Speaker 2 (46:58):
It's cathartic, but yeah, it's quickly become clear that this
is about maximizing profit. It's funny. USA Today is like
coming at them and was like, WHOA, what's going on?
What's going on? Like USA Today asked them if it
was financial or health factors, and the company told USA
Today on Monday, there's no new information for them to

(47:20):
share regarding the decision like that, this is even USA Today.
Wait a second, this is where we draw the fucking line.
Try kind of bullshitting you try in here, but yeah,
it's become clear that it's about maximizing profit since they
started charging for refills, even for drinks poured by workers

(47:41):
during you guessed it, the pandemic. The pandemic was really
like it was a time when they were like, and
this is when we all come together, and they were
just like, we can charge them whatever we want. They're desperate,
they can't do shit to us, and they just got
two hundred dollars is in the mail, so we can

(48:01):
just look like it was like the entire corporate world
was just like a bully who realized that a kid
was like bringing lunch money to school and they could
like just shake him down, right, like this is nobody
can do. He didn't even like say anything to the teachers.
We can just do whatever.

Speaker 1 (48:20):
The gona fucking kick my ash.

Speaker 4 (48:25):
Your COVID stimulus on the suicide is so bleak.

Speaker 2 (48:29):
Yeah right, yeah, you're gonna want that. Though McDonald's sprite
hits different, but yeah, their profit margins are between ninety
and ninety five percent on soda. Damn.

Speaker 1 (48:44):
Yeah, all right, that's I think then we're just gonna
have to get creative on how we get free refills,
like you go back, I don't know that. Yeah, this coke,
I think, I think you gotta switch the bag out
or something. Yeah, I need a new one, like you
drank it all. Yeah, and it was really fucked up.

Speaker 4 (49:01):
And the whole time I was I was really upset.

Speaker 1 (49:04):
Have you have you ever seen people try and pull
that well, like when they like some ship, like at
a restaurant, they didn't like they ate the whole fucking thing,
and then they're like, a, I don't know, and I'm like,
what I ordered not technically what I ordered?

Speaker 2 (49:17):
Yeah yeah, yeah, And now I've realized it wasn't what
I ordered.

Speaker 1 (49:21):
It wasn't what it was delicious, but that wasn't what
I ordered. Okay, No, But like I've seen I saw
somebody clean up a plate of fucking spaghetti and where
they were like there was like one bite left, like yeah,
this this was wasn't great.

Speaker 2 (49:35):
And I'm like, come on, like, you.

Speaker 1 (49:38):
Gotta if you're gonna pull that ship, you gotta have
it over half left on there, you know what I mean.
Don't eat the whole thing and then try and make
that move.

Speaker 2 (49:45):
But hey, it is what it is one of these
articles from Mashed not Mashable, just a mashed potatoes website,
mashed dot com. I said high profit margins on soft
drinks are one of the reasons that fast food restaurants
can afford to offer cheap options like dollar menus. While
they might actually lose money on the those items, they

(50:08):
more than make up for it in soda sales. And
I just want to let you know, mashed dot com,
that may have been the way things worked before the pandemic.
Corporations are no longer thinking of the consumer in any way.
Oh yeah, how can we get every little piece of
their money? How can we How can we make them
sign up for an app that we then use to

(50:31):
spy on them and sell their information like literally everything.

Speaker 1 (50:35):
They're like dollar menu. Those people need to go to
hell if they're using the dollar menu. The people three I.

Speaker 2 (50:42):
Came up, came out and was like, your your car
wheel seems loose and then he uh he ran the
loose car wheels scam on me. I've turned around and
my tires were.

Speaker 1 (50:56):
Gone gone dude, Yeah, cinderblocks.

Speaker 4 (51:00):
I saw an ad for the new McDonald's McChicken price
and it was like, I'm gonna get it wrong. But
it was not right. It was like three dollars or something.
But they were doing it like in a celebratory tone.
They were like the McChicken is now only blah blah blah.
And I was like, well, that's not right.

Speaker 2 (51:14):
I was like, it used to be a dollar.

Speaker 4 (51:15):
There used to be like certain things you expected at
these places, and like there is no good fast food
deal anymore. Everything is kind of like they're trying to repack.
It was like, don't worry, it's not that different than
what you're used to. And I'm like, well, yeah, I
only hate it because no one wants to spend a
lot of money on it my chicken, because there used.

Speaker 1 (51:30):
To be a dollar menu and now it's like the
four dollar meal deal or the under three dollar menu,
like three yeah. I mean we lost our way when
it used to be able to get two mcmuffins for
like fucking five bucks. I remember how we've lost her.

Speaker 2 (51:46):
I think that's what I think. These are the things
that gut for What was that guy who's who's trying
to say America's Kelly Country and like couldn't even get
to the end. I think that this is what Greg
Kelly's thinking about we used to be a great country
and now I'll look at him mcmuff.

Speaker 1 (52:02):
I could send my hypertension through the roof with three
bites for under a dollar not anymore.

Speaker 2 (52:09):
Little meal hack from super producer Victor Chilis and Applebee
is now cheaper than almost every fast food item. So wow,
why don't you go there?

Speaker 1 (52:17):
Hell?

Speaker 2 (52:18):
Yeah, goodness, they still haven't figured out how much they
could be charging. Well, then their CEOs need to be fired. Uh,

(56:09):
a song that we think you might enjoy. Yeah, Miles,
is there a song that you think the people might enjoy?

Speaker 1 (56:15):
Yeah. This is a little little band from the eighties
from Philadelphia called the Hooters.

Speaker 2 (56:21):
Oh yeah, it's called Oh you Zombies.

Speaker 1 (56:25):
It's got this like eighties like white guys who just
heard like Lee Scratch Perry Dub music and they're like, yeah,
that's crazy. That the bass sho is liken't don't.

Speaker 2 (56:36):
Yeah, that's cool, let's do something with that.

Speaker 1 (56:39):
The like the lyrics are talking about like Moses talking
to the pharaohs, like it's like biblical, but then they're
talking about I don't know it. Just to me, it
sounds like the perfect like eighties white guys doing reggae
that Tony Soprano would listen to. Or I'd feel like
the music director of the Sopranos would have somehow found
a way for this song to be in the show.
And because of that, just it was resonating with me.

(57:01):
So this is all You Zombies by the Hooters.

Speaker 2 (57:05):
All right, great name for a song and great name
for a band. Mm hmm. This is definitely off the
normal beaten path of the stuff you usually recommend, but
it is a lot of fun.

but sometimes things get you in a very.
