Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of the
Weekly Zeitgeist. These are some of our favorite segments from
this week, all edited together into one NonStop infotainment laugh stravaganza.
Uh yeah, So, without further ado, here is the Weekly Zeitgeist.

Speaker 2 (00:25):
God, I'm hosting today, Blake, I never get to so
you do this. I don't care, because I want to
introduce our guest today. He is a fantastic gentleman, a scholar,
a podcaster. You may have heard of his wildly fantastic
podcast The Dollar, okay, maybe you've seen him do stand up.

(00:47):
Maybe you heard him on other shows like this one,
maybe once or twice or will you accept this rose
a bunch of times, so just fucking everywhere because the
man's funny, okay, and he likes a bit of an
accent as well. Please welcome to the microphone, mister Garrett.

Speaker 1 (01:01):
Right, thank you, thank you.

Speaker 2 (01:04):
Doing a lot of podcasts is not a barometer for
being funny. I appreciate it. Oh yeah, well ten years
ago maybe yeah. My mom's was like, well, you do
so many podcasts, you must be funny, And I'm.

Speaker 1 (01:16):
Like, right, yeah, that used to be the way.

Speaker 2 (01:19):
I have so many podcasts now that people are like,
are you what, what's going on?

Speaker 1 (01:23):
Okay? Yeah, it is a problem. I agree, though people.

Speaker 2 (01:26):
Don't know I'm gonna I might be doing a couple
more shows too in the upcoming future, and I don't
want people to be like, are you okay?

Speaker 3 (01:33):
And then I get to say, well, my house fucking
burned down, so no.

Speaker 2 (01:36):
Yeah, that's the My house burned down when I was
in high school, and what an excuse for everything. It
was just for four or five years, I'd be like,
her house burned down because that's what I dealt with.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
So your house burn down in high school? Yeah, oh shit,
not fully but mostly sorry.

Speaker 3 (01:53):
I was playing with firecrackers on the side of the
house and I burned the door.

Speaker 1 (01:56):
It was Wisconsin. It was how you got a new house?
I had you both beat.

Speaker 4 (02:01):
My dad got sick in high school, so I was
just like, oh, yeah, sorry, I have a sick dad.
I was saying. He ended up living, but barely so.
But I remember telling someone that show and she goes, oh, yeah,
well my house burnt down, and I'm like, that's not
the fucking game we're playing here.

Speaker 2 (02:17):
Because you're gonna, I will say on behalf of Miles
and I since your dad pulled through.

Speaker 1 (02:24):
Yeah, I do think we win.

Speaker 4 (02:27):
Well, what's a dead house versus a barely livings the
currency exchange?

Speaker 5 (02:32):
What?

Speaker 1 (02:32):
How was his rebound? Is? Did he was? He? Okay?

Speaker 4 (02:35):
Okay, I would say it wasn't. I mean, he's fine.
There's such a two ways I could take this or
I could lie.

Speaker 2 (02:42):
Aren't there do the ad Air version, Blake, we're recording.

Speaker 1 (02:47):
My dad's fine. I'm gonna with him coming up. It's
called failing.

Speaker 4 (02:51):
Sideways with the Westlers being Larry.

Speaker 1 (02:54):
Yeah, no, he's doing grades alive and yeah, you're right.
I'm sorry to hear about your home, Miles Winds. Yeah,
I win. Thank you? Any other questions? I didn't think so.

Speaker 3 (03:03):
I was had Osgar Schlaughters when I was fourteen from Rompies.

Always good to see you. Always good to have a
bit of a lot with you as well. Giggle.

Speaker 2 (03:18):
Well yeah, well wait, let me say I've got my
new eighteenth podcast called Next We Have, which everyone must
go listen to.

Speaker 1 (03:27):
What's that about? It's about an hour?

Speaker 2 (03:31):
No, it's uh, it's basically uh, it's like it's like
a lot of games with people.

Speaker 1 (03:36):
We do weird interviews.

Speaker 2 (03:38):
Confess it's like three to four segments of show that
are just kind of hodgepodge pot pourri, random, but it
keeps the attention span. I mean it's like scrolling, but
on a podcast. Wow, it's out out.

Speaker 1 (03:51):
So I don't know.

Speaker 3 (03:54):
Going through that, I don't see any of our names
here anything.

Speaker 2 (03:58):
I don't know. It's a press, it's new. There's not
a lot of this is I'm breaking that.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
When does it come out?

Speaker 5 (04:04):
What days?

Speaker 1 (04:05):
Uh? Fridays? Great? Nice? Try, nice try. You thought I
was trying to trick you.

Speaker 2 (04:11):
He almost got Rachel she went to my high school
and Arden. Wow, Bobby leave, fantastic four milk Brooks Wheeling. Okay,
you got freaking Dave, Dave an Andy, Scott Ackerman, Randon
Lee Mulligan for a D twenty dropout heads out there,
Oh wow.

Speaker 1 (04:32):
I touched Penis also repeatedly who yeah great, yeah man,
dropouts got some fucking they got some spot. They got it.
I mean, I'm like, God, I heard you guys are
making money over there. Huh. I was a shame Wheer.

Speaker 2 (04:47):
So I remember, like, you know Barry Katz, who like
the manager sounds like he's on nitrous.

Speaker 1 (04:54):
Was fired by every comedian who's yeah, every he's repped
every comedian. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (04:59):
I remember literally twenty years ago, I was doing this
like prank show in New York and he was represent
he represented someone and we're in the back of the
car and he was like.

Speaker 1 (05:09):
You have to start a podcast and I.

Speaker 2 (05:12):
Was just like what. He was like, you got and
I was like all right, man, And then it was
like ten years later, I was like, god, damn he was.
So I just like dobs fit her out for a while,
but I was like, wow, he really yeah he did.
Spooky guy was onto some spooky guy. Oh man, he
looks spooky. I'm just look at his pictures. He was like,
he looks like the most fashionable white walker.

Speaker 1 (05:34):
He's a haunt. That's a nice compliment, and that is yeah,
that's great. Does that make sense?

Speaker 4 (05:39):
Like if I say that, like he looks like a
white walker with his ship together, like he could get
a job like a VP.

Speaker 2 (05:45):
Is this he looks like a White Lives Matter walker?

Speaker 1 (05:50):
Yeah? Yeah, no he is. He's yeah, he's represented everyone. Wow,
except for me probably either.

Speaker 2 (06:01):
He was the guy who made Dane Cook large really
did he invent the Superfinger too. No no stop no
no no s that was Thomas Edison created.

Speaker 1 (06:12):
Remember that. Did you ever do the superfinger earnestly? Nod?

Speaker 4 (06:16):
I tried to, and that's what burnt my house down
before the super Fer.

Speaker 2 (06:22):
Yeah, yeah, you can only do it and the night
Dane has a show, you do get a curse.

Speaker 3 (06:26):
Yeah, and then and then you date someone of a
questionable age.

Speaker 1 (06:31):
Okay, so like you can groom at fifteen and eighteen.
That's a lie. Thank you everybody, Jesus Christ, We're back,
aren't we. What is something from your search history that's
revealing about who you are? All right?

Speaker 5 (06:44):
This is this is revealing about who I am in
multiple ways. Which is that I remembered I had a
memory of tweeting something about how the xenomorpho is really
just a huge wasp that can't stop drooling.

Speaker 1 (06:57):
But then, yeah, like drools a lot. Like it's okay
in a way that like any other thing that drools
that much, you'd be like, that thing is stupid, it's sick.
All right.

Speaker 5 (07:09):
So here here's the train of thought that I think
actually tells everyone literally everything you might conceivably want to
know about me, which is I have a memory of
this because I I basically was like someone else made
a sort of similar joke on some social media and
I was like, I already did that, and then I
looked for it and I couldn't find it. So that

(07:29):
was my search history, as Andrew t Z, you know,
morphlass and.

Speaker 1 (07:34):
I couldn't find it. Did I.

Speaker 5 (07:39):
Did? I just think this? And so I don't know.
I genuinely don't know. It seems like it's not there.
But I also deleted most of my tweets at some point.
Maybe it was in the deleted batch of tweets.

Speaker 1 (07:49):
I'm going to get me in trouble.

Speaker 5 (07:52):
With All of those movies have some very serious character
saying a nearly completely perfect organism, right right, I have
to tell you it's only an okay organist.

Speaker 1 (08:07):
Yeah, you can get you can get rid of that
second mouth, yeah, second mouthl Yeah.

Speaker 5 (08:15):
Yeah, it's fucking it can't reproduce unless a fucking like
certain number of humanoids look at its eggs.

Speaker 1 (08:24):
Yeah, like stare at its eggs with their mouth open.
Plan is that for propagating your sleep? Doesn't if it
wanted to bring people in, if that was its strategy, right,
Like think about like a flower that wants to reproduce,
so it's brightly colored. It's like it looks fucking so

(08:48):
hot to bumblebees. Like bumble bees are like, oh yeah,
I want to fuck that thing, or like they or
it looks delicious to other things. Well there is one
that looks like something that I forget which insect it is,
but then so to fuck it. Yeah all right, well
that's fine, but anyways, like this one is on a

(09:08):
scary ass planet that you know, like just not does not.

Speaker 6 (09:14):
It's created missed and eerie blue lights and it looks
like a fucking like dem Yeah you see that. You're like,
hell no, why would you look at that?

Speaker 1 (09:25):
Yeah, like they really need some they need to up
their game in terms of even if.

Speaker 5 (09:30):
Yeah, it's just that so many things have to go
perfectly for one baby to be born, and that I
think is not such a good plan perfect evolutionarily speaking.

Speaker 1 (09:41):
And also when it runs, it's like not that. Yeah,
like when it so when it pops out of that
motherfucker's stomach spoiler alert for people managed to miss that whole.

Speaker 3 (09:52):
I saw Senator Cassidy's testimony.

Speaker 1 (09:54):
And it runs out. It doesn't run that like it's
like just like it's just like kind of scamper out
like in a way that's you know, kind of well.

Speaker 5 (10:03):
Some of these are answered in Alien Earth Jack then
the hit series on FX it okay, Uh, they show
more of the zoomorph in between, which is why this
came up for me. Someone was talking about Alien Earth
and I was like, hold up, I already made this
sick ass joke, and I just think I'm suing. I

(10:23):
didn't make this the sick ass joke is what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (10:26):
It's a perfect, perfectly scary thing. Unfortunately that doesn't make
it perfect for reproduction and services. Yeah, it's gorgeous. Nature's
the pinnacle of Nature's achievement. It's like, what the fuck
are you talking about? Yeah, because there is also like
the conceit is that everybody wants to use it as

(10:49):
a weapon. Like it's just yeah, it would be the
worst weapon to turn on you so fast.

Speaker 6 (10:56):
You heard of just a better gun if you really
want to.

Speaker 1 (11:02):
Pretty spooky guns in here, man, Yeah, it's not even
the best gun in the like spaceship area. What did
it even look like? Would it be like the car
you know in Guni's data has the vest, where like
a punching like a boxing glove pops out of spring load.

(11:22):
Would that be like just have a xenomorph that like
pops out of a container, Like how are you going
to weaponize that? You open your vest and then as
xenomorp pops out of your chest.

Speaker 5 (11:33):
And like yeah, every every time they've tried to depict
that on screen as the xenomorph being a quote unquote
perfect weapon, all it does is kill some quite a
lot of the people in the area. It doesn't do
anything that a fucking like cruise missile couldn't do a
billion times more.

Speaker 3 (11:52):
If you have the technology for interplanetary travel, I'd imagine
your weapons might be better than just unleashing it.

Speaker 5 (11:59):
Truly, monster, But I'm so sorry, but like yeah, I'm
just like putting a big bug in the in the
house cannot be the best way to do this.

Speaker 1 (12:09):
It's like the equivalent of like putting some bees under
some of the door and then like walking away giggling yourself.

Speaker 2 (12:17):
And then they're like, I was on vacation, I came home,
there's like three dead bees in my living room.

Speaker 1 (12:22):
The bees killed a bunch of stuff, right, Why would
you do that? Man? It's such an insane way to
kill people. If everybody stays inside this house. Who we
want to stay inside this house? We're in business. There's
just too many variables, too many variables.

Speaker 5 (12:37):
I don't like it.

Speaker 1 (12:38):
You don't want to go back and on the house, Yeah,
bad idea.

Speaker 5 (12:43):
Do you ever want to use that spaceship for your
own No? You just want to kill some of the
people in it real scarily okay.

Speaker 1 (12:49):
Like still at the ancient like using an ASP as
a weapon, Yeah, version of like weapons or unleash the
ASP on Cleopatra.

Speaker 5 (13:03):
Your city with scorpions. Like, what do you I just
I listen. I get that it's a monster. I just
think the underlying research imperative seems shaky at best.

Speaker 1 (13:15):
Monster can't even close the fucking mouth. What is something
you think is underrated? Okay?

Speaker 7 (13:22):
This is something that when I used to live in
the Bay and I had rich ass friends who were
in and they.

Speaker 1 (13:31):
Shout up to the rich friends.

Speaker 8 (13:35):
Anymore, They soon start making phone calls again once they
get the medaglasses. Yeah, point to their temple and and
they call CVS, CBS.

Speaker 9 (13:51):
Your extra care savings.

Speaker 7 (13:57):
They like would outsource like all of their chores and
I'm like, I feel like chores are underrated, like cleaning,
like get it, like laundry dishes, cleaning, like you don't
want to be overwhelmed by it. But if you haven't
like changed your child's diaper ever, then like I feel
like you're not living in the same plane of existence
as me.

Speaker 1 (14:16):
Do you know what I mean?

Speaker 3 (14:17):
You don't change Yeah, daddy Daddy Bear doesn't get his
paws dirty with due.

Speaker 7 (14:29):
I don't know what your audience is, but the bears
are tuning in, okay, they're excited.

Speaker 1 (14:37):
That is so funny.

Speaker 3 (14:38):
Yeah, I mean like when whenever I hear people like
earnestly be like, oh, I don't change diapers, I'm like,
you're a.

Speaker 7 (14:44):
Person kind of like soci We talked about this with
like Jade Vance, right, didn't we didn't He have something
about like not interacting with his kid in like yeah, way, yeah.

Speaker 2 (14:56):
Yeah, I forget if it's one of the many famous
Vance quotes where he's like I think he like he's
like my wife like likes.

Speaker 1 (15:01):
To like coddle them. I just kind of yell at him,
and you're like, oh, it's the Mama Dada bear, you know,
I am mean to them. And don't really look at them.
I don't want to deal with that ship. And then
my wife cleans up my.

Speaker 7 (15:16):
Like I learned it from Succession, So that's how I learned.
That's the parenting book I read.

Speaker 3 (15:22):
Yep, yeah, it's like that's a show.

Speaker 1 (15:25):
That's a show.

Speaker 3 (15:26):
It's a it's a it's a parenting tone.

Speaker 1 (15:29):
Actually yeah. Yeah, And just generally I do think boredom downtime,
Like I listen to podcasts a lot for a fucking
living sometimes and but just like carving out time to
do boring tasks like clean up without anything, without like

(15:50):
anything going on, you know.

Speaker 7 (15:53):
The mind mindfulness as as true as a chore wheel.

Speaker 1 (15:56):
What's your favorite chore? What's your favorite chore?

Speaker 7 (15:58):
I really like doing laundry, Like I like I like
the like the folding and putting a way of laundry
because it feels like a fresh start. I also get
to look at things that I have and be grateful
for them and like you know what I mean, I'm like, oh.

Speaker 9 (16:12):
Like this is a cute.

Speaker 7 (16:13):
Yeah, And I also like don't like I don't like
things too much. We have to wash my hands a
lot because my hands get like dry really quickly, so
like dishes. I don't like or like like cleaning the
toilet and like washing my hands, you know, like I
just don't like weird.

Speaker 3 (16:31):
Washing your hands after using the toilet.

Speaker 9 (16:34):
Listen.

Speaker 7 (16:35):
I think that you don't need to use shampoo and
you don't need to wash your hands.

Speaker 9 (16:40):
Okay, you odorant can be made out of bark.

Speaker 3 (16:44):
Okay, Well, when the Democrats take over, you'd be a
great pick for Secretary of Defense.

Speaker 1 (16:49):
Thank you so much. Yeah, excuse me. Germ theory his
hands after he cooped because it like made him stronger somehow.

Speaker 7 (16:58):
I was just reading actually, like the chort thing, a
signal chat with shit hands.

Speaker 3 (17:04):
Yeah, he's like, hey, get my cell phone, man, bring
my phone over here.

Speaker 1 (17:07):
You're like, oh, there's some He's like, how come the
charging ports all clogged up with stuff? He's like, I
don't know.

Speaker 3 (17:14):
That's why I got the magnetic charger because that hole
is all like.

Speaker 1 (17:17):
Crust, you know.

Speaker 2 (17:18):
The I was reading a thing that like it was
a poll of parents talking about allowances and like how
kids like like the financial awareness of children, and of
like these two thousand parents that they had pulled.

Speaker 1 (17:31):
They were saying, they're like average allowance is around one
hundred and twenty bucks a month, and I was.

Speaker 9 (17:38):
Like, damn flation.

Speaker 3 (17:41):
I'm like, how come wages actually haven't gone.

Speaker 2 (17:43):
Up like in a way with allowances, really everything's gone up.

Speaker 1 (17:50):
Five bucks a week.

Speaker 7 (17:52):
And if I was lucky, we didn't because my parents
were like, this is your home. But also like they
didn't ask us to do too many things like they
did obviously like the majority of stuff, but they'd ask
us to help like a little bit here and there.
They wanted us to be kids basically and so, but
they were also like.

Speaker 9 (18:12):
We're not going to pay you like you live here.

Speaker 1 (18:14):
Like talking about it was yeah, like I was. The
thing was like they would pay me to pick up
dog poop, and like they had like a per bag thing.

Speaker 3 (18:22):
I was breaking down pieces of ship and bagging it
up in.

Speaker 9 (18:26):
Allowance a poop trap house, like just cutting.

Speaker 1 (18:31):
But naked butt naked bagging it up.

Speaker 9 (18:34):
The balloon meant something totally different for you.

Speaker 1 (18:40):
Trying to put poop into a balloon. It's fun. I
wouldn't be easy. You just need a thing that opens
it up. I do it all the time.

Speaker 9 (18:50):
You do it now to your wife.

Speaker 1 (18:51):
You get a.

Speaker 3 (18:52):
PVC pipe thing that's big enough, just wrap the end
of it right there, then perfect funnel.

Speaker 7 (18:58):
You're gonna get accused of rod and your parents are
going to require backday on this.

Speaker 1 (19:02):
I'm sorry they've already demanded it. I have to What
is something you think is overrated?

Speaker 10 (19:12):
Bravo, I'm going to get assassinated for saying this.

Speaker 1 (19:18):
You're from New Jersey, Mary, be careful. The manzos might
hear you.

Speaker 10 (19:24):
Blood is thicker than water.

Speaker 1 (19:26):
Yay, there you go.

Speaker 10 (19:27):
So you know I I've watched I've watched housewives. I've
enjoyed some Housewives, she.

Speaker 1 (19:36):
Said, with tears in her eyes. Guess I just want
to be clear.

Speaker 10 (19:40):
I can't help but notice that we are low key
living during fascism.

Speaker 9 (19:51):
Has noticed, but not so you're saying this.

Speaker 10 (19:56):
So sometimes when I watch TV and the people on
it are just like mentally ill, drug addicted, white collar criminals.

Speaker 1 (20:07):
I'm like, sometimes when I watch maybe I.

Speaker 10 (20:13):
Could do a little something more with this platform.

Speaker 2 (20:16):
Maybe I think it's just this is our I think
Bread and Circus is phase of the fall of the Empire,
where like our circuses are like just the obscenely just
off the rails.

Speaker 1 (20:28):
Reality TV that's just on where people are like this
is a normal person.

Speaker 3 (20:33):
Yeah, this person has anger issues and a drinking problem.

Speaker 10 (20:36):
I feel like for a while I've been being more
of a bitch about like, you guys need to cast
this kind of person. You guys need to cast this
kind of person, And I think people don't understand that.
I know that. No, Chomsky can't go on Bravo. I'm
not suggesting that.

Speaker 1 (20:59):
Union.

Speaker 10 (21:00):
YEA, give Kathy Griffin another show, have like a voice
for someone who's like an honest, bitchy person. I think
they should do that instead of all drunk white collar
criminals a waiting trial.

Speaker 1 (21:15):
Yeah, only people to identify with are mentally ill, drug
addicted by fucking Gallainne Maxwell is in the prison with
Jen Shop. Yes, they're in that same prison. It's her
and Pharahos homegirl Elizabeth what's her name, Elizabeth Homes.

Speaker 10 (21:33):
Yeah, yeah, Yeah, that's whom would make sense on Bravo.

Speaker 5 (21:38):
Exactly.

Speaker 3 (21:38):
Yeah, even Gallainne Maxwell, and they would just like, oh, look,
so we have socialite Gallaine Maxwell, Like that's.

Speaker 1 (21:43):
How you're going to describe her. That could have entirely
been happening in the background of a Real Housewives, Like
she could have been a character Real Housewives and they
just would have YadA YadA past like where's Jeffrey For.

Speaker 10 (21:55):
Jeffrey he is the lower third gain delight socialite and
that's financier.

Speaker 1 (22:01):
Yeah yeah, yeah exactly.

Speaker 3 (22:03):
Oh Jeffrey her boyfriend. He's so wealthy. Everyone, yes, exactly
want to.

Speaker 1 (22:08):
Have such a weird on again, off again relationship. The
tension is so thick. He cheats on her all the time.
I've heard that's just happening in the background.

Speaker 10 (22:18):
So I don't mind if they keep the shows like that,
but I think they should add like a Kathy Griffin show,
or I mean those that I've Had It Ladies. I
believe they originated from Bravo.

Speaker 3 (22:31):
Mm wait, who are the I've Had It Ladies?

Speaker 1 (22:34):
Oh?

Speaker 10 (22:34):
You know them, You just don't know that. That's their name.
It's those two blonde ladies who are like leftists and
they look like Republicans and yes, yes, and they love
the on Piker.

Speaker 1 (22:48):
Jennifer Welch and Angie Pumps Sullivan. Yes, Pumps, what a
great nickname.

Speaker 2 (22:58):
They're they're killing it right now, aren't they feel like
that show? Yeah, they're doing fucking numbers.

Speaker 5 (23:03):
I feel like that.

Speaker 1 (23:04):
Come on, Andy, like this is this is who you
need to be going after they originated on Bravo. They're
they're telling it like it is why why not getting
one good reason? Why not?

Speaker 10 (23:16):
I guess now it's like they have more the power, right,
It's like, why would they want a cable show where
they're probably like making less than what they would make
on YouTube or Patreon or whatever they're you.

Speaker 1 (23:27):
Sing, exactly, that's fair. It's interesting to be in this
time now or like independent, going independent in a few
different like industries actually is the more lucrative thing where
it used to be like you gotta get on you
gotta get on TV, you gotta do this. You're like,
I'm making money from sub stack. Actually, yes, right now,
and that's working great for me. They're like, didn't you Yeah,

(23:48):
I used to work at the Washington Post, but I
left because it sucks.

Speaker 10 (23:52):
Don't you want to make less money and not be
able to say the truth?

Speaker 1 (23:56):
Yeah, exactly, your articles whittled down to nothing by a
room room full of editors who are here to just
absolutely obfuscate. Yeah. Yeah. Also mentally, a drug addicted white
color criminals is like, who does that not describe? In
the current power structure, I feel like every every leader

(24:18):
in the country, every everyone is just either that or
aspiring to that at the point.

Speaker 10 (24:25):
Yes, of course, if.

Speaker 1 (24:26):
You gets that into a good acronym, you might have
a good show going there covering middle C. Yeah. Yeah
it was, I mean it wasn't bad. Good, Yeah might.
Fuck this is going to take up the whole It'll

(24:47):
take a second.

Speaker 5 (24:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (24:48):
Yeah, let's not waste Mary's time trying to workshop this one.

Speaker 10 (24:51):
Yeah, stop wasting my time.

Speaker 1 (24:56):
Watch wind deck when dak Yeah.

Speaker 10 (25:02):
That's good, that's catchy.

Speaker 1 (25:04):
Yeah, we're good. We're back, We're back. It doesn't it's
actually completely out of it because the white is now
at the beginning in front of ill wait, mentally drug color.
You can't just move the words around. It turns out
and you, as a writer, I understand that, Mary, of course. Yes,

(25:27):
this is where we need help. What's it like writing
for the New Yorker? Pretty cool?

Speaker 10 (25:31):
It's such a dream. It's so prestigious and awesome.

Speaker 3 (25:34):
Yeah, you probably understand all the comics.

Speaker 10 (25:37):
And shit too, right, Absolutely, I understand all of them.
And I laugh out.

Speaker 1 (25:42):
Loud over copy overwine with like their fellow intellectual elites
at the salon. If you will, yes, my children will
just walk up to me with a copy of The
New Yorker and make me explain one of the comics
to them. And I'll always do it, even if I

(26:02):
don't like fully understand what they were going for us.
But humiliating explaining a comic to a child that you
don't even understand, I would love to see that bit
of impro the dog is clearly represents. Was it in
his mouth? Democracy? This dog's just hungry. Man.

Speaker 3 (26:23):
It's like, give a dog a bone. I think you're
trying to say, kids.

Speaker 1 (26:26):
I like to finish end conversations with my kids by saying,
am I right, brother up top, and then make them
give me a high five. Yeah, And they don't love it.
And they always say, you're high fiving too hard. Let's
let's take a quick break and we'll be right back.

(26:49):
And we're back.

Speaker 2 (26:51):
So there's a new ad campaign hitting the friggin air
waves from a group called Make America fent and All Free.
And apparently this comes from yeah, math math quick, it's
not it's maths.

Speaker 1 (27:07):
I believe too. How you say that free? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (27:11):
Make America fentanel free. Apparently, after the twenty twenty four election,
Trump had an idea. He's like, I would have done
something about fentanyl. And because the only language he knows
is sensational television, it was going to come in the
form of these scare ads that are really more confusing,
Like when I see them, I'm like, wait, what is

(27:33):
f feel when you watch it? Mm hmmmm No, because
then I would have been nodding off and dissociating, probably
as more than just like the abject confusion I was experiencing.

Speaker 1 (27:45):
That's I mean, I know you're pushing that I'm not
a drug guy. I wouldn't know what you guys are
talking about him. That fanl is great, by the way, Yeah, yeah,
I mean they had him in the patches back then.
The lollipops, the lollipops man I had.

Speaker 2 (27:58):
I had a class in high school who's like would
raid his parents like drug cabinet, And that was my
entry point into trying every prescription drug under the sun.
And that was like, that was It's two thousand and
two and I had my first fentanyl lollipop.

Speaker 3 (28:13):
Oh yeah, was a bad ap. European History lecture.

Speaker 2 (28:17):
America is awesome in so many ways. We really are
just like it's.

Speaker 1 (28:23):
We have loose death chemicals and everything.

Speaker 2 (28:26):
Yeah, like it's it's it's just it's shocking.

Speaker 1 (28:30):
We have buildings, I know, shocking. Yeah, truly, you can
get this ship literally anywhere.

Speaker 3 (28:36):
But anyway, these ads have now hit the airwaves in
markets like West Virginia, DC and Philadelphia. And let's just
let's just check one of these out. This first one
is called there's not even a title, Like, they're all
just called make America Fentanyl Free.

Speaker 5 (28:54):
No need for a title.

Speaker 3 (28:55):
This one, I believe, is one where a guy becomes
some kind of spooky, blue skinned ghost because fentanyl.

Speaker 1 (29:03):
I got hooked on fentanyl. But no, you a white
guy in the mirror. First, my teeth started to rot.
He looks like shit. Skin turned blue.

Speaker 2 (29:13):
Okay, your skin turns blue when you do fentanyl. Yeah,
that's why the side effects are smurfed. Yeah, you don't
want to get smurfed. Yeah he should have. He should
have bought his fent from gargamel.

Speaker 1 (29:25):
I started to age very rapidly. I lost my hair.

Speaker 11 (29:28):
It looks like DRAMI every friend and I will only
be remembered as that drug use. Oh my god, take fentanyl,
because if you do, you'll be dead like me.

Speaker 3 (29:44):
He just activated ghost fucking protocols on our asses.

Speaker 1 (29:47):
Right there, he said, you'll be dead like me, and
then he does appear because he's dead. That's yes, he's
like him.

Speaker 3 (29:56):
So many more questions like I searched ventanyl hair and
nothing came up. It was more like about how drug
abuse can impact your hair on some level, like it
can be found, but not a thing where it's like,
here are the things that Fennel does. Your hair comes out,
you have blue skin. I've only read that in like
in relation to.

Speaker 2 (30:15):
Like an overdose or something, but this one wants you
to think like your hair gonna follow your teeth turt
into fucking caramels and then your skin blue and you die.
It's very funny that in this day and age, are
the reason to not do things is what it externally
does to you internally, Like none of that is about

(30:36):
oregon failure or lifespan shortening or any actual thing that
would ruin. I mean, the guy died, obviously. We never
really had time to get into that, but it's just teeth, skin, hair, friends, right,
And the friends probably stopped because they're like, we can't
get late with berry.

Speaker 4 (30:57):
Yeah, yeah, do you want to look like a three
then I didn't think so I became a three.

Speaker 1 (31:03):
Yeah, I became a.

Speaker 4 (31:03):
Three America three free.

Speaker 3 (31:08):
Yeah we are three of the three is three of them?

Speaker 1 (31:11):
Great show, they're okay.

Speaker 3 (31:14):
I I think they heard you on that point about
what it does to you, because here's another one. They
had a one minute long at I can't I couldn't
bear to get through the whole thing. I mean I
did watch it, but I won't subject to you to
the full minute. But Josh Blue, here's the last twenty
seconds where they show the last like they show three people.
The first one I think was a girl who smoked

(31:34):
weed at a club, and it's done for Yeah, you
know they're all dead.

Speaker 1 (31:39):
To think about these commercials because his Trump's whole thing
was he wanted ghosts. He wanted basically the voices of
the dead, like some fucking weird you know what's that
Charles Dickens thing, Christmas Carroll type shit to happen where
it's like, you know, there's something about when a ghost
talks to you that it really you know, No, and Miley,

(32:01):
Miley and Miley. He lost Jacob.

Speaker 4 (32:04):
Jacob wouldn't hang out with him because he was ugly.

Speaker 3 (32:08):
I do give it up to tiny Tim though he
had that he had that injury, and he didn't touch
the fentanyl.

Speaker 1 (32:13):
Despite having little.

Speaker 2 (32:14):
Skin was a little bluer, and his hair fell out
a little more, he might look normal, correct.

Speaker 4 (32:21):
I think that would offset the penalties a little bit.

Speaker 2 (32:26):
Yeah, here's the last twenty seconds of the one where
I think this guy's trying to get a little bit
more into the health rather than.

Speaker 1 (32:31):
You just will look like shit approach.

Speaker 11 (32:34):
I was immediately addicted to fentanyl, exactly like the drug
dealers wanted my skin drink blue.

Speaker 1 (32:41):
I aged rapidly.

Speaker 3 (32:43):
Okay, maybe not seems pretty, but again they're leading my bak.

Speaker 1 (32:51):
Bluing is like okay, well, I mean bluing is for
doing laundry with your whites. Okay, if your whites are
looking dingy, bluing to your life. I turned blue. Yeah,
I shouldn't have. I shouldn't have gone on. I shouldn't
have gone on that tour of that chocolate factory and Wonka.

Speaker 3 (33:10):
Yeah, this is the most Wonka coated ship. Okay, one
more time from the top.

Speaker 11 (33:14):
I aged back with my organs painfully deteriorated.

Speaker 1 (33:19):
Then I died olle fitinl cus damn.

Speaker 6 (33:25):
Joined President Trump's fight to end the fentanyl crisis.

Speaker 1 (33:28):
Wow, It's also why does it have to be Trump?

Speaker 2 (33:31):
Like, can't you just be like, we're trying to stop
this because stop it?

Speaker 3 (33:36):
It's because his idea and I think again he's obsessed with.

Speaker 1 (33:40):
Cable news and commercials.

Speaker 5 (33:41):
Well.

Speaker 2 (33:42):
I said the other day, three hundred and forty million
Americans died from like oh yeah.

Speaker 1 (33:46):
Yeah last year, last year, No three hundred heaving y,
we're the lucky are waiting to die? Oh oh my
dad hairless.

Speaker 2 (33:59):
Yea toothless three. We used to be a nation of sixes.
Now nation due to the scourge of fentanyl.

Speaker 1 (34:09):
I wouldn't even fuck anyone.

Speaker 3 (34:11):
Yeah, but like now, like so this dark it's a
dark money group. So we don't know where the money
like is actually coming from, but we know it's obviously
aligned with Trump because he's the one who even dictated
these commercials happen, and his like team is working on them.
But they're spending millions to like hammer home Trump's message,
you know, they like essentially they have to. It's like twofold, right,

(34:33):
like you got to keep the fentanyl panic going because
that helps justify like increased police activity or like blowing
up people in boats because they have you know what
I mean, like or saying like we have we're into
crisis with our borders because the fentanyl.

Speaker 2 (34:48):
And also it creates the optics that he's actually doing
something because he has a commercial and I'm like, oh,
I think I'm fighting for it.

Speaker 1 (34:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (34:56):
No, it's amazing because most like the most fentanyl is
from like ports, it's like legally shipped into this country.
So this is again not that reality has any connection
to action obviously, but it is just he is.

Speaker 1 (35:14):
It's just all invented boogeymen.

Speaker 2 (35:16):
And yeah, you know the thing I was thinking about
the like because obviously they're trying to tie everything to
like this trans shooting nightmare, which god, it's just enough
with the shooting from the trans people. I mean it's
been five already, over six thousand shootings. But it it
that men competing in women's sports really got this sort

(35:39):
of brainworm cooking for people, so that now you're hoping
you can make the shift into the you know, they
they it's just reality being the starter never mattered. And
then of course you go to you know, Wonka town.
By the end, Yeah, you just need loose threads to
kind of connect and you're like, yeah, that's logical, and

(36:00):
correlation is causation and that's all you need to know.

Speaker 3 (36:04):
But the thing is, fentanyl deaths have been declining pretty
rapidly for the last two years, which is great. And
it's more to do with like better years what matters. Yeah,
it's better. It's like more to do like better just
like education for people like parents of like people who
have overdosed, and like family members like becoming like getting

(36:25):
into activism and like shit like narcan.

Speaker 1 (36:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (36:28):
But you know, like the thing is like again, this
is what's so funny is like Trump just thinks of
like a drug, like a wave of drug addicts or
a drug addiction to be like okay, and you can
stop that by gilling.

Speaker 1 (36:38):
Don't do that. You're gonna turn blue.

Speaker 3 (36:40):
And that's how that's how you scare them off of it,
rather than like actually like addressing drug addiction. You know,
that's that's how you get people off drugs. It's like
you create it makes it easy for people to get treatment.

Speaker 2 (36:52):
Also, it's like we have people living on the streets.
We should just euthanize them.

Speaker 1 (36:58):
Yeah, Rank kill me. He's not a root cause guy, Yeah,
it's just how to I got to clean up Park Avenue.
Yeah yeah, Yeah.

Speaker 3 (37:05):
He's more of like somebody brushed this dan drift off
my shoulders.

Speaker 2 (37:08):
I need a better dandrift brush from my Then the
grass keeps growing back every now and then you hear
like a seed of a plan where you go, oh real,
like there are like there's talk of mental health care
and all this stuff, but it's just it never actually
comes to any kind of fruition of.

Speaker 1 (37:31):
Rails.

Speaker 3 (37:31):
Yeah, in a direction you can't even imagine.

Speaker 1 (37:33):
Yeah, he says it all.

Speaker 2 (37:34):
Yeah, well, speaking of the attorney, I don't know what
the I don't even know how to fucking segue into
this pambd hell speaking. Hey, let's let's let's float on
the river sticks a little bit more. Shall we really
check it all out? Because Pam Bondi is now like,

(37:55):
because of people who aren't doing like glowing eulogies of
Arley Kirk, she's now taking that to be hate speech.

Speaker 3 (38:03):
Basically, it's like the new take from the regime. I'm
just going to play this clip where she kind of
lays out her tortured logic here.

Speaker 1 (38:12):
As to why I don't I don't know. I mean, like, well,
just listen, listen to the Attorney General. There's free speech
and then there's hate speech, and there is no place,
especially now, especially after what happened to Charlie in our society.

Speaker 9 (38:26):
Do you see more?

Speaker 1 (38:29):
This is Steven Miller's life. I was just gonna say, yeah,
this is Stephen Miller's wife's podcast. What a great conversation
we're about to shape.

Speaker 2 (38:36):
Look how big her note card is, you know what
I mean? It's like it's because it's there's a lot
of great thoughts on there. All of the words she's
saying for the entire podcast are on the card.

Speaker 1 (38:45):
Is hate men?

Speaker 2 (38:46):
Well, it's the swastika logos take up half the card,
but at least they're in the corners, so it isn't it?

Speaker 1 (38:53):
Go on the center? And yeah, yeah, go on, Katie.

Speaker 7 (38:56):
Enforcement going after these groups who are using hate each.

Speaker 10 (39:01):
Law enforcement, we show that action is better than no action.

Speaker 4 (39:04):
We will absolutely target you, go after you.

Speaker 10 (39:09):
If you are targeting anyone with hate speech.

Speaker 1 (39:13):
Wait, hold on, hold on, anyone, hold on, hold on?
What's that?

Speaker 5 (39:18):
What's that you?

Speaker 10 (39:19):
If you are targeting anyone with hate speech? Anything and.

Speaker 1 (39:25):
An nice sound? Anyone? Anyone?

Speaker 3 (39:30):
This look, well, whites, this is so buddy. This quote,
Like guys fucking riled up the right just from Pam
Bond because they already hate her because woman. But like
I think, like first of all, for starters, I think
most of us in the US, no by now, especially
after the last decade, that hate speech is protected under

(39:52):
the First Amendment.

Speaker 1 (39:53):
That's why they go around doing this shit in public. Yeah, right,
you just so you know that, so when.

Speaker 3 (40:00):
You go there's free speech and there's hate speech.

Speaker 1 (40:03):
Well, according what.

Speaker 2 (40:04):
Charlie Kirk did was free speech. What you're saying about
Charlie Kirk is his hate. See there's not even a
legal definition for it. Well, you know that's that's for
me to figure out.

Speaker 1 (40:15):
Is ag I'm gonna get podcast. What do you want? Yeah,
what do you say? Facts?

Speaker 3 (40:21):
Liberals like obviously pointing out that this is just like
illegal intimidation and the age should probably know the laws
of the land. But again, like I said, the right
like they're fucking act. They're like calling her a moron
because they know better than anyone that hate speech is
their favorite form of free speech. Yeah, and it was
wild to see like conservative like Twitter fucking influencers on

(40:44):
the right be like quote tweeting this thing and be
like just so you know, this is a slippery slope.
This can be weaponized against.

Speaker 2 (40:51):
Us, Like wow, what we keep like finding ourselves Like
I keep going like, now, look, I love this lunatic
alt right guy, but that part is yes, I agree
with that part of what. He's not why but that
part is right as you know, like they kind of

(41:13):
keep doing that where it's like if you watch abysmal
piece of shit Nick Fouent has talked about Charlie Kirk,
you're like kind of kind of yeah, kind of yeah,
the serious search groper wars. Yeah, so, and and they
keep doing this like like and they very clearly don't

(41:35):
have a grasp of the law, not even that the
law is effective for us anyway, but they are now
saying these quiet parts.

Speaker 1 (41:45):
Out loud more and more.

Speaker 2 (41:46):
Oh yeah, And it just shows you the level of
confidence that they have to not to be idiots.

Speaker 1 (41:53):
I mean, cash Ptel right now too, like they're he's
getting grilled as he should.

Speaker 2 (41:58):
I mean, he fucking like, I'm gonna start a go
fundy to get him eyelids.

Speaker 1 (42:03):
He just looks so.

Speaker 6 (42:05):
Gone.

Speaker 3 (42:06):
Yeah, I know his base is permanently set to I'm
so out of my depth right now.

Speaker 4 (42:13):
And yeah, this is what happens when you have the
dumbest guy in the world appointing people to positions based
off no credibility for anything whatsoever. And he didn't even
do it that the first term that fucking moron had
at least some of them had something like they're morons,

(42:34):
but had some.

Speaker 1 (42:35):
Sort of background. Now it's just like learned. He learned
that first, and he was like, they like to fucking
like uphold norms and ship Rex Tillerson.

Speaker 2 (42:45):
You were like, yeah, I agree with this oil magnate
right right, right right, he has he has a chevron
tattoo on his Yeah, I love it.

Speaker 1 (42:55):
He has one of those cool it's right behind his ear.
It's really barging in charge. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (43:01):
Yeah, I don't know, but she she really, you know.
I think they are also still very sore over the
Epstein thing, which again is another thing that draws us.
You know, we're strange bedfellows when we're all going.

Speaker 1 (43:12):
Like Epstein files, now, yeah, let's go. Yeah, I mean,
you know, I agree with this Patriot Front guy. Marjorie
Taylor Green. There's times where I'm like I've been waiting.
I'm like, when is she gonna drop the act? You
know what I mean.

Speaker 3 (43:26):
I'm like, yeah, this has to be in service of
some other thing, like you have, you must have some
ulterior motive, and like, like even Nancy Mace, I mean,
Nancy Mace has already revealed herself to be very duplicitous
because she was already like talking shit about the Epstein
survivors after she walked out of that.

Speaker 1 (43:42):
Meeting in tears.

Speaker 3 (43:44):
But like with Marjorie Taylor Green, like it's starting to
actually affect her, like strain her relationship with the White House.

Speaker 1 (43:50):
But I'm like, is do you actually are you that
hopped up on the Facebook memes that you're you're about it?
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (43:55):
It's very hard to be able to detect it, and
you have to be suspicious. But there are times where
you are just like I mean, yeah, like insiders, stock
trading and pedophilia, you know, Israel, they're all starting to
be like things are like we're kind of.

Speaker 1 (44:13):
Yeah, I think with like the like anti Israel stuff,
there are a lot of people who get into it
for from the absolute opposite end of the spectrum, Like.

Speaker 2 (44:23):
And you're like yeah, You're like, yeah, we should stop
funding Israel because the Jews are and you're.

Speaker 12 (44:30):
Pull up, pull off, pull up, cock bit warning, pull up.

Speaker 1 (44:45):
So yeah, that's that's where we're at.

Speaker 3 (44:47):
But again, so like after this backlash, Pam Bondi like
had to clarify. She was like, She's like, look, according
to this quotes quote, you cannot call for someone's murder,
You cannot swat a member of Congress, You cannot docs
a conservative family and think it will be brushed off
as quote free speech. These acts are punishable crimes, and
every single threat will be met with the full force

(45:09):
of the law. This inspired many people on Twitter to
just be like, hey, okay, based on what you just
said about like calling for someone's murder, like doxing people,
are members attacking members of Congress?

Speaker 2 (45:20):
How do these statements add up? According to this new
sort of perspective you have like quote we have to
beat the hell out of the radical left lunatics Donald
Trump quote just kill him, Brian kill meat quote. We
should be posting protesters exact names and addresses online, docks
the people, Greg Guttfeldt, they are at war with us.

(45:40):
We're gonna avenge Charlie Kirk's death. Jesse Waters, I don't
think it's I think she'll be.

Speaker 4 (45:45):
Like, I don't know, it's just like that's what that's
not hate's that's dislike speech.

Speaker 1 (45:48):
Yeah, yeah, that's protecting that's protecting Charlie Kirk.

Speaker 2 (45:52):
There's hate speech and then there's just like thumbs down
speech you just kind of don't like a thing, Okay,
but if you're hating. We also, like have been trying
to find the line on you know, when you are
endangering the lives of people who need representation, like we

(46:12):
you know, talking about that for ages and they have
been there is no gray area. You can say whatever
the fuck you want. I mean, that is the way
we we right now are are kind of legislating the
world that they dragged us into and then having to go, well, yeah,
we've been saying a lot of this stuff that there
are difficult conversations, Like I think with the Charlie Kirk thing,

(46:35):
it's just like it's just weird to see him upset
about a shooting. It's like, we're not used to you
actually being pissed about a fucking shooting, So we're trying
to figure out how to tell you that this is
inconsistent with what you've been saying.

Speaker 3 (46:51):
I think the hard part is because they're not interested
in anything that's like logical or you know, intellectually sound.
It's purely like this desire for them to have absolute
power culturally and like governmentally and dominate just the country
like with their viewpoint. So they use the language as
if they are into democracy, but there everything they do

(47:14):
and say is completely antithetical to that. And I think
that's the that's what the Democrats are up against. They
think they're playing against somebody who's like, well, we have rules, right,
It's like no, they're just trying to squeeze the air
out of the country.

Speaker 4 (47:28):
That's what they're tying to do. So there's no repercussions,
like they're babies, so it's like a spanking where you know,
like obviously the Charlie Kirk things one thing, but even
before that with quote unquote cancel culture, it's like, oh
I was canceled. It's like yeah, because you were at
a job and you used a racial slur, you know,
like you're not.

Speaker 1 (47:45):
Allowed to do that.

Speaker 4 (47:46):
Like they don't like rules, they don't like repercussions. And
then when the rules don't suit them then and also
when you know, like BONDI was like, oh, hey, actually
you can't do hate speech, like Arrett said, it is
like oh now we're all on the same.

Speaker 2 (48:01):
Yeah, but some things do I mean, we do need
some form of free speech. So yeah, exactly, Yeah.

Speaker 3 (48:10):
It's whatever they would hate to hear them, someone call them. Yes,
that's how that works. And I think that's really instructive
in this like new era we're in because like, if
that's how they're playing, then you have to also play
that game. Like they're not here to like compromise in
any way. And I think a lot of this stuff
is going in the opposition sense. You have to understand

(48:32):
that you're working your you're up against someone who's not
willing to compromise at all.

Speaker 2 (48:36):
We have been playing their version of the game for
so I mean fighting against it. But you know you
can't there's you have You cannot physically be like we
are going to take guns out of our society because
again we rue in the fucking world that you created.
So and then they are now trying to fight this

(48:59):
version of this and again they want to do it
in the way that is illegal, that is immoral, all
that stuff. But I lose faith every two months and
everything over again and make it where we get in
that cycle. By the way, are we getting close to it?

Speaker 1 (49:15):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (49:16):
There is no bottom, but this shooting being connected to
trans people is another bottom where I go How how
I don't even I wouldn't even know where to start
arguing that, really, because if you're engaging in that that person,

(49:37):
you can't logic your way out of that.

Speaker 1 (49:40):
No. No, they're just being like, I'm I just need
to hear the buzzwords thrown out to justify my hatred
for the group. And it doesn't matter if it's true
or not.

Speaker 2 (49:48):
But that's just how they're conditioned to perceive the world,
and that's why they're so easily you know, they're they're malleable.

Speaker 3 (49:56):
Yeah, and be like, no, now, let's foment hate over here.
And just because I'm going to say, uh, this thing
and this other thing. Yeah, that's all you need to
say to each other to justify your hatred. It was
a trans person.

Speaker 4 (50:08):
Yeah, it's a person they've never fucking met, by the way,
none of these people have ever been around a trans personally,
And it's.

Speaker 1 (50:16):
It's hatred for the sake of hatred.

Speaker 2 (50:18):
I think that the white white men people, they really
always operate as the minority that's under attack, and you
really are always shocked at how they can keep finding
ways to do it. I mean, if you look at
thief structure of power in this country right now, how

(50:41):
you could be like, it's all right, everyone's a game
in the cross It's crazy. It's like that's why you're like,
I don't even know how to have the argument, but
that's how I mean, that's how you keep that sort
of like white supremacist ideology alive is because if there
it's always at state and it's always you're always in

(51:01):
the crosshairs, and you're you're you're so marginalized in your.

Speaker 1 (51:05):
Contact flag on your car. Yeah, and you like there
were people in fucking like Huntington Beach or somewhere I
saw it, like, yeah, like a bunch of fucking Nazis
out there.

Speaker 2 (51:15):
And Huntington Beach being like give whites rights, Like where
the fuck do you live?

Speaker 1 (51:22):
You're here? You just want you just protested by six
froyo places? Yeah exactly.

Speaker 2 (51:27):
I'm like, also, have you looked around, like fucking people
color don't want to go to Huntington Beach no, they go,
fucking you've got your little place, stay there.

Speaker 1 (51:35):
What are you marching for? Jesus Christ?

Speaker 3 (51:38):
Anyway, So great country we've got here. Let's take a
quick break. Uh, and we'll be right back.

Speaker 1 (51:55):
And we're back. We're back and uh or Kathy hokeel,
I'm told pronounced like yo like, not like polycule. Not
like polycule is.

Speaker 10 (52:08):
Like black jaw yokel.

Speaker 1 (52:09):
Yes, yes, I think is how I mispronounced it. Anyways, Uh,
she has broken new ground for centrist establishment Democrats, proving
that they are capable of endorsing Zorn Mumdani. Many thought
that it was physically impossible up to this point. Yeah,

(52:31):
there was some manner of physical allergy that they were
suffering from. But no, that she just like did it.
She did. She did in the and in a very
like establishment centrist democrat way in a New York Times
op ed and the New York Times like let her
do it. She just did it in the New York Times.
And they weren't even like, we got to find a

(52:53):
way to put an end to this.

Speaker 3 (52:55):
I mean, it's it's wild to hear people like Jamie Raskin,
I mean of Marylan pat Ryan of New York. They
were both like a formal endorsement, and then rom and
Manuel and Richie Torres. Richie Torres, who is one of
the most staunchly pro Israel Congress people who like definitely

(53:16):
was not singing his praises, has they've kind ofly softened
to be like, oh, like maybe he has the potential
like effectively lead the city. You're like, what the to me,
I'm like, I'm more scared at that, Like what what.

Speaker 10 (53:28):
Are they happy?

Speaker 3 (53:29):
I'm excited, No, for sure, but there's something I can't
look at them and feel like that's totally sincere.

Speaker 10 (53:34):
I knew it was all. I knew it was gonna
happen too. Yeah, he's so popular, and like, at the
end of the day, every other Democrat needs to get re.

Speaker 1 (53:46):
Elected by associations, So what are they.

Speaker 10 (53:47):
Gonna do just ignore this hugely popular person that everyone likes.
They were most Jewish people voted for that, right.

Speaker 1 (53:56):
Yeah, it does feel like they've been able to They've
managed to do that with like the Sanders Bernie stand
I mean, they kind of like brought Bernie Sanders in
a little bit, but for the most part, Yeah, I
guess you're right. They have like kind of.

Speaker 10 (54:10):
Moved in that running for mayor of New York City,
I could I could see how they would be more
cowardly when it comes to someone running for president, right,
But it's like everyone in New York likes this guy.
You look stupid if you don't enforce him.

Speaker 2 (54:26):
Like also in a town too, where like like with
New Yorkers, like if you're doing like the one thing
everyone like, it's clear this guy is liked by the city.

Speaker 1 (54:34):
And if you're saying that, like, what the fuck is
wrong with you?

Speaker 5 (54:36):
Bro?

Speaker 2 (54:36):
Right, Like this guy is doing great. Trump It was
a quote shocked by this endorsement by Hocal and then
I think was like threatening to like withhold federal form
like whatever. Fucking don't know what he's trying to do.

Speaker 3 (54:49):
But yeah, I mean it is. It is like I
think the Democrats are learning that beggars can't be choosers right.

Speaker 10 (54:56):
Now, Yeah, because they're going to get voted out if
they don't, you know, get on board for popular policies.
That's how I feel about it. Of course we don't
have a lot of faith in them, but these people
need to win elections, yeah.

Speaker 3 (55:08):
Or like we need to have juxtapose more candidates, uh
in these races that act as a way to nudge them.

Speaker 1 (55:16):
Like, yeah, to the right way.

Speaker 3 (55:17):
But also part of me, I've lost complete faith in
these people that have been elected. I'm like, just bring
in a fucking new crop of people who like aren't
so poisoned by like lobbying and maintaining the status quo
that like they're like, I think it's harder work for
a politician to be like, I actually need to dismantle
the status quo to learn that lesson. Then someone who's

(55:37):
been suffering at the hands of the status quo and
now is empowered to legislate responsibly and be like, these
are the things we actually need to change that will
help people, because I think right now the Democrats are
just going to be copying homework and doing it like
in a really poor, like piss poor way.

Speaker 1 (55:53):
Yeah, it would seem to be a thing where they
would be able to be like, well, look, he this
is his playbook. Every it's been shockingly popular, shocking to us,
shockingly popular. We should just kind of do the same thing,
and you know, make the argument that well and we're
we're you know, part of the system, so we know

(56:15):
how to dismantle it. But they the fact that it's
been this fucking hard for them to just be to
just do the bare minimum of be like I in
yeah doors him is signed is a sign to me that, like,
I'm very skeptical of that line of argument that like

(56:35):
they're you know, essentially what it is they are like
they represent so many people who are behind the scenes,
who like helped them get elected, who the ideas of
socialism couldn't be like more anathema too. Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (56:52):
I think one of the reasons too is they ran
the traditional playbook on how they scare out like people
like progressives or leftists, which is for his first like.

Speaker 1 (57:00):
They're a socialist and like I was like yeah, and yeah, no,
he was pretty clear about that Brown. Yeah, so what
is this two thousand and one? What the FD are
you talking about? Like no, And I think when they're like, well,
we're out of fucking like, I think they're like, well,
we're out of fucking ideas. What are we supposed to
do now? Like maybe we can co opt the movement.

(57:22):
That's the other part of the co opt. Let's co opt.
Let's see if we can do the old fashioned co opt.
Andrew Cuomo, though he came out with a pretty sick response. Huh,
yeah he did. He did a video where he is
reading some of them Donnie's old tweets. What's set too
like Hans Zimmer music. Yeah, this is how you fight

(57:42):
back Democrats take out like like fucking Andy Nipple clamps
Cuomo here.

Speaker 2 (57:47):
So he apologized for saying the NYPD are racist?

Speaker 1 (57:53):
Doesn't apologize that actually does kind of pretty queer?

Speaker 11 (57:59):
Major threat to public safety?

Speaker 2 (58:02):
Do you apologize for pulling Barack Obama?

Speaker 1 (58:06):
Pretty damn evil?

Speaker 2 (58:09):
Doesn't he condemn the phrase globalize into fox?

Speaker 1 (58:14):
Do you still believe that quote? This is so funny
because you knew they needed all this music because if not,
you would just hear an old man's dried up mouth
and lips moving, Yeah, talking points that they've been drilling
for six months now to know. Yeah, you know you

(58:34):
hate to see it. What if what if we made
it sound like? What if we? Yeah? What if we
completely overexposed this shot to so Andrew Como looks like
a bed sheet.

Speaker 10 (58:44):
I'm dying to know who does social media for him?
And Eric Adams? I know they're so good like bad ironic?

Speaker 1 (58:57):
Yeah, yeah, exactly like they're unwittingly helping everyone except their client,
which is truly but I think that's also it's probably
some guy who used to do like TV stuff, and
then as he saw the social media thing on the horizon,
he tried to pivot to social media, but functionally has
no experience on how people on the Internet think.

Speaker 3 (59:17):
And so I just charged him a bunch of Money's like, yeah,
I'll put this up on your Twitter. I'll shoot a
video and you just post it.

Speaker 1 (59:22):
Right. I don't know anything about tone or context or
how the Internet talks about things, but these are wins.
He opens with the claim that the NYPD is anti queer.

Speaker 10 (59:35):
It sounds it sounds like a slur the way he says.

Speaker 1 (59:39):
They're saying the NYPD doesn't like queiz. I don't know
you can apologize for that, apologize like it's a well
established fact that the NYPD is like pro LGBTQ plus
people or yeah, yeah, don't look up stonewall or anything, right,
nothing to do with that's gotcha moment. I mean, it's

(01:00:05):
just shows too.

Speaker 2 (01:00:06):
Like how he also is a Cuomo's appeal is to
the status quo, which is are you pro police?

Speaker 1 (01:00:12):
That's why he did the Are you gonna apologize to
the police? What was the other one? Oh?

Speaker 2 (01:00:16):
Then it's pro establishment democrat. It's like, are you would
you deign to say that Obama is is evil in
any capacity?

Speaker 1 (01:00:23):
Don't look up Obama drones.

Speaker 2 (01:00:25):
And also finally to like all of the Jewish people
in New York bringing up to globalized the into thought line,
which has been fucking clarified so many times at this point, Like,
I feel like, and.

Speaker 10 (01:00:37):
He never said it even they just ask him what
do you think about it? And he's literally never said it.
Yeah again, and like he was asking of everyone now.

Speaker 1 (01:00:47):
Yeah, just anyone. They're like, I never said It's like, well, yeah,
either did zor Adam?

Speaker 10 (01:00:52):
You did it?

Speaker 1 (01:00:53):
Yeah. I feel like Eric Adam's social media strategy is
a little.

Speaker 13 (01:00:58):
Different, right, It's very funny, way too long, very slow videos, Yeah,
which I appreciate.

Speaker 3 (01:01:09):
It's at it's at a pace for a different kind
of person, right.

Speaker 5 (01:01:13):
Sure.

Speaker 1 (01:01:15):
The engagement on Eric adams campaign titter, it's like funny,
Like he can barely get like thirty likes on a post.

Speaker 14 (01:01:22):
Yeah, damn, he's just gotta he's got to give out
more chip bags with money in them, you know, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Oh god, more of a face to face politician.

Speaker 1 (01:01:33):
I don't do don't go in for this social media stuff.
You know what. I now look a man in the
eyes and hand him an empty, greasy five guys bag
with forty bucks in it. Oh man, all right, that's
gonna do it. For this week's weekly Zeitgeist, Please like
