Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of Zoran
mom trendy your next mayor you mean fucking pain? Do
you mean pain? Dude coming out the fucking pit and
he's killing all the Wall Street.

Speaker 2 (00:15):
The dude he means that ship for real, He's gonna
eat them all.

Speaker 1 (00:19):
I saw a photo of him eating a fucking hedge
fund manager's leg.

Speaker 3 (00:25):
This guy means it.

Speaker 1 (00:26):
We'll get into Zorn derangement syndrome on tomorrow's episode. My
name is Jack O'Brien. That over there is mister Miles Gray.
But yeah, uh yeah, just the straightforward, just fucking hook
my veins.

Speaker 2 (00:39):
Up to this Zoran win.

Speaker 1 (00:42):
Oh god, I think it was the most enjoyable night
on because you didn't even have to like feel like
it was just just felt good.

Speaker 4 (00:52):
Yeah, like one of those things like I'm pretty sure
what I think people need has appeal, right, Yeah, and.

Speaker 2 (00:59):
Then you campaign saying over and over like.

Speaker 1 (01:02):
Yeah, that's the thing, like everybody shocking. The headlines are
all about how you like stunned Cuomo and shocked the world.
It's just like, I don't know, the popularity of socialism
has been pretty clear, like for since like two thousand

(01:22):
and eight, really when you think about it, like Obama
basically ran on socialist ideals, ideals.

Speaker 4 (01:27):
It wasn't it wasn't the kind of thing that anyone
would be like this guy socialist.

Speaker 3 (01:32):
Yeah, the vibes were like, hey, folks, we.

Speaker 1 (01:34):
Could have more. I think terms and conditions apply. Was
he just like yeah, he handed the implementation over to
the neoliberal forces.

Speaker 4 (01:44):
Oh yeah, we got some ideas, brock, why don't you
let us handle this Medicare for all things?

Speaker 1 (01:48):
Then, you know, eighty year old socialist from Vermont almost
deep fucking Hillary, like you know, so not a very
popular person. But again like Andrew Cuomo is like a
political dynasty who's unpopular. And again, like it just shockingly

(02:09):
And I was twenty sixteen. That was like before people
had stopped having brunch because of how things how bad
things were.

Speaker 4 (02:16):
This was always gonna have appeal when you live in
a capitalist country like this, where people are discarded like
without thinking, you know. And I think that's just kind
of we're now at this point because you know.

Speaker 1 (02:28):
We've always been talking like, well, it's gonna happen in general,
and I think, like, honestly, that's not a silver lining.

Speaker 3 (02:34):
But with Trump in office right now.

Speaker 4 (02:36):
It's made it painfully clear to people that the to
many people, not everyone, maybe not enough people, but to
many people are like, yeah, man, this old way is
fucking that's an l look turn that these people don't
know what the fuck they're talking about and they are
not even talking to us and like our needs. And
then here comes someone with a socialist platform and they're like.

Speaker 3 (02:58):
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
I could get jiggy with this one because I don't
know what happens if Kamala won the election.

Speaker 2 (03:07):
What is that maybe?

Speaker 1 (03:08):
Because yeah, I do think it's like very strongly driven
by the Kamala Harris loss and just you know, the
the Kamala Harris campaign. I think, where these ideals like
we're testing well and then she just like tacked right
and right and right and right until it was like, wait,

(03:29):
are you running George W. Bush's two thousand and four campaign? Yes,
and then it was wildly unpopular. And it's just like
such a transparent fuck you to like what people actually
care about. Like that's why I feel like just the
nihilism that people felt on the like twenty twenty four
election night, like I think that's like a big part

(03:52):
of this where people are like that, it's not that
like we we can now say for sure like Biden
had that run that was basically people responding to being
in a like I feel like the vote for Biden
was like the equivalent of like tapping out in an
mm A fight when you're like in an arm bar
where it's just like anything to make the Trump administration stop.

Speaker 3 (04:14):
Yeah, was how there it doesn't matter?

Speaker 1 (04:17):
Yeah, and then it didn't work for the reasons that,
like so many other like neoliberal like it's just like
the system is like they're coming in being like, we're
going to fix the problem caused by this system that
we are. Yeah, right, It's just like, well that doesn't
really work that well.

Speaker 3 (04:36):
This machine needs to be unplugged. They're like, well, what
if we like turn the volume really low on it?

Speaker 2 (04:42):
Right?

Speaker 3 (04:42):
No, no, no, you have to this.

Speaker 4 (04:44):
This thing has to stop because it's not rendering good
results for people. And again, I think more than anything,
because obviously this is just a democratic primary.

Speaker 3 (04:52):
This should let this should tell democrats, this is what
your base is looking for.

Speaker 2 (04:58):
This is what they know.

Speaker 1 (04:59):
They're not looking for some rehashing of the good old
days when they in fact we're not that great at all.
I mean, maybe they're looking for a rehashing of the
good old days, as in Mam Donnie quoted FDR in
his victory speech, and I've the most popular and successful
American president of the past hundred years who was basically

(05:21):
like a socialist like in many ways, and like again,
it's just like it's so obvious that socialism is a
political winner that like, to not know that at this point,
you have to be actively trying to not.

Speaker 2 (05:37):
Know that fact, of course.

Speaker 1 (05:38):
Yeah, or you're actively you're just diametrically opposed to anything
that renders even a sliver of equity for people.

Speaker 3 (05:47):
Yeah, because yeah, that's.

Speaker 1 (05:48):
What And I think it shows too that all of
these people who were like all who were against Mamdanni,
the way they're reacting to it, it sounds like the
white racist people in the summer of twenty twenty when
people are like we need rights, like people like we
need to acknowledge the humanity of black people and over policing.
But if we acknowledge their humanity, then don't I have
less humanity? Like it's a zero sum game.

Speaker 4 (06:09):
And now they're suddenly like, but if if this guy
is talking about equality and bringing price think down, like
what about the landlords? And it's just so fucking like
we we hear it over and over and over again.
But again, I think just the old ways just aren't
as effective as they used to be, just generally, and

(06:30):
they're really susceptible to looking like dog shit when you
juxtapose it with someone with the kinds of platform that's
oriented in the campaign that he did, where he's like
actually engaging people where they're at and talking to them
and being a fucking human.

Speaker 2 (06:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (06:45):
So now we just sit back and watch how the
mainstream media tries to destroy him and his campaign. I
don't know exactly how it's gonna play out, but it's
it's coming for sure.

Speaker 3 (06:58):
You know.

Speaker 1 (07:00):
It's like anything, maybe they dig up some weird opo
and fucking try and make a scandal out of something,
or they completely ignore him and completely emphasize everyone else
in the race for people who maybe aren't that option
at this point, can't really after he just like after
they're all just like he's stunned the world, you know,

(07:21):
like the but one interview that's making the rounds is
him saying that he would arrest net and Yahoo, so
they're trying to, you know, make it. I think connect
that with of course about the global infantata infantata intafada,
infantata infanta. It's an egg dish made out of infants.

(07:45):
But anyways, I don't know it's it's coming. I do
just think like, let's let's bring them all in, anybody
who wants to join the broad tent, because it seems
like there are a lot of people from the center
left who are like, oh, well, this seems popular. It's like, yeah, yeah,
it is. It's gonna like this is the only way

(08:06):
forward for the party, and like.

Speaker 3 (08:08):
Not really a fan of the landlord stuff.

Speaker 1 (08:10):
But I think it could be the landlords, so it'll
be interesting. But it felt felt good to just feel
like we.

Speaker 2 (08:22):
Lived in a real country for.

Speaker 1 (08:25):
People to what the stakes were. But again, it's a
democratic primary. Let's yeah, yeah, let's hope. Let's hope keep
the momentum to November. Yeah yeah, I mean, and he's
going against Eric Adams, which is gonna be both. I
feel like, you know, he's got the better positions and
also Eric Adams is hilarious, so he's gonna i mean,

(08:47):
in a debate. I can't the way he fucking cooked
Cuomo in a debate.

Speaker 4 (08:51):
I can't wait for Eric Adams, who he has like
the wit of someone on like a dial up modem
trying to fucking like play live stream gaming or some shit.

Speaker 3 (09:01):
It's like he's I don't even know.

Speaker 1 (09:03):
I don't even know what going on behind his eyes.

Speaker 3 (09:07):
Yeah, all right.

Speaker 1 (09:08):
Other big news, Liver King has been arrested for threatening
the conservative Joe Rogan. So we've all been talking about
the need for a liberal Joe Rogan. There's don't don't
forget about the conservative Joe Rogan, the actual Joe Rogan
who lives in Austin, because he just got fucking threatened

(09:28):
by one of our greats.

Speaker 2 (09:30):
So I do have to.

Speaker 1 (09:32):
Just quote the New York Post real quick because they
didn't put this in the headline because it wasn't front
page news. But the article opens his beef went Badsgrace influencer,
the liver King. Then they talk about how he's known
for lying about where his muscles come from.

Speaker 3 (09:53):
It's not steroids.

Speaker 1 (09:54):
It's me eating this bulls testicle, every day's bulls testicle.
It's not the elevel than one thousand dollars a month.
Steroid regimen that I'm on. But he apparently filmed a
video where he threatened to fight Joe Rogan and had
guns on him. So I think things are going going

(10:15):
going well on the right.

Speaker 3 (10:16):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, good.

Speaker 1 (10:18):
For them, Good for those two mm collab all I'm
waiting for.

Speaker 3 (10:24):
There's your Barbenheimer. That's right that you've been looking for.

Speaker 1 (10:27):
All right, let's take a quick break. We'll be right back,
and we're back. You're back, and yeah, we're back. Some
oath sat on a Picasso share last week that I

(10:50):
just people need.

Speaker 3 (10:51):
To look this video up.

Speaker 1 (10:53):
Anyone who was raised right or is raising a child
right at this moment, you will fucking do a backflip
and anger watching this. A fucking adult at a museum
just be like, yeah, I can sit on this fucking thing.
And then the leg just comedically goes like this fucking
just gives out underneath him, and he just tries to

(11:14):
fuck off with his wife to be like just.

Speaker 2 (11:17):
Fucking go go go.

Speaker 1 (11:18):
You can like hear that, even though it's just a
close circuit so you can't hear the audio, you could
just hear them being like go go go, Yeah, and
they walk out and like have they been arrested yet
was like, how is this?

Speaker 3 (11:30):
Oh I don't know the van Go chair? Yeah, I
don't know.

Speaker 2 (11:33):
We wait, Americans, have they not been this.

Speaker 4 (11:37):
Was from last week? There's this Italian museum's plea. So
they oh, maybe they're just saying for people to respect art.
Let's say they have notified police about the pair who.

Speaker 2 (11:44):
Have not been identified.

Speaker 1 (11:46):
How come on, y'all, come on, these people need to
pay for that. So they walk into a room. There's
a Picasso there, it's a van Go chair. Oh, sorry,
van Go a van Go there? Did van Go build furniture?
Maybe that's our problem.

Speaker 4 (12:04):
The chair was built by Italian an Italian artist Nicola
Bola and is bejeweled with crystals. It is named after
Vincent van Go as a tribute to the Dutch artist
painting of a simple chair.

Speaker 2 (12:16):
Got it okay?

Speaker 3 (12:17):
So they sat on a Janki Swarovski covered chair that
was called a vang chair.

Speaker 1 (12:20):
Got What's wild is the fucking little placard that goes
next to it that tells you, like the word like
you know, the backstory or whatever. It's just fucking on
top of the chair. Like you have to be like, yeah, dude.
The same for fucking sitting. Yeah, you're talking about it's
pretty like anything that is like bejeweled, I would think.
And it's also not a thing where they like mistook

(12:42):
it for a chair in the they were around they
were lining up to a picture. Yeah, he was getting
his picture taken by his wife.

Speaker 2 (12:53):
When the chair fell to pieces under his.

Speaker 3 (12:56):
Because I think his wife goes first and she got
her arms out like you like balancing. He's like, I'm
not gonna really put my ass on this thing, and.

Speaker 4 (13:03):
Then his dumb ass like really try to get low
with it like the Ying Yang twins, and then boom,
both legs came out.

Speaker 1 (13:10):
Oh so uh, Brian the editor points out, he was
hoverbudding and then whatever is lost his balance. You hate
to see it true to see Hall of Fame behavior.

Speaker 3 (13:24):
What's the over under on one of those people being American?

Speaker 1 (13:26):
Oh my god, it's that, And then distant, distant second
would be Australia, right, Ozzies.

Speaker 3 (13:35):
I don't Yeah, I just.

Speaker 1 (13:38):
Know them as being really like loud and drunk whenever
I travel. But yeah, it could be definitely a former colony.
A lot of people talking about the fact that top
Gun Maverick predicted Trump's attack on iranled on what it
predicted it? Yeah, dude, it's like straight up okay, so

(14:02):
when he seen you haven't seen Top Co Maverick.

Speaker 3 (14:05):
No, I don't give a shit about that.

Speaker 2 (14:07):
Oh man, it's.

Speaker 1 (14:08):
Such a good movie, and it like does the job
of getting you ready for this so that you're already
like inclined to be rooting for it.

Speaker 3 (14:19):
Oh, it's an inoculation.

Speaker 1 (14:22):
So the two big reactions in the mainstream media and
online were, uh, you know, global condemnation and comparisons to
uh a Tom Cruise character. Because the mission in Top
Gun Maverick was to bomb a uranium enrichment site housed
in a mountain region in an unnamed foreign country that

(14:44):
was underground and like they're talking about like collapsing it
and like a lot of the details very similar. Matt
Gates was like, I want to know who at who
at Top Gun Maverick do the future?

Speaker 2 (14:58):
Who at Top up Gun Maverick knew the future?

Speaker 3 (15:03):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (15:03):
No, who had Cracker Barrel knew the future?

Speaker 3 (15:08):
Are you just movies stupid? You know why? It's not
that even it predicted it.

Speaker 1 (15:13):
It's just been like one of those ominous, weird foreign
policy threats forever. And also the Navy is you know,
a co producer of the film, you know, at least informally. Yeah, exactly,
like this is this movie in particular, like that we
talked at the time. Both Top Gun Maverick and Top

(15:34):
Gun the original were basically funded by the Pentagon.

Speaker 3 (15:39):
So that's the only way you get to play with
those planes.

Speaker 4 (15:41):
They're like, okay, we get to have notes on this, right, Like,
oh yeah.

Speaker 3 (15:46):
Fine, fine, but you get to do what you can
use all of our killer toys.

Speaker 2 (15:49):
Yeah, there aren't many.

Speaker 1 (15:53):
Aircraft carriers going around that you can just like sub
in to shoot your movie on.

Speaker 2 (15:59):
You need basically one of the real ones.

Speaker 1 (16:01):
And so if you're gonna make a movie about flying
off an aircraft carrier and doing dangerous mission with like
I don't know how many millions of dollars these fucking if.

Speaker 4 (16:14):
You want to use this, you better be hooray raw
raing the American Empire.

Speaker 2 (16:19):
Yeah, they don't name Iran.

Speaker 1 (16:21):
They just say that they're trying to disrupt the uranium
enrichment process of a company that poses a threat to allies. Okay,
very big if they do get nuclear weapons, so that
would eliminate Russia, China, North Korea. And then the mountainous nature.
Oh yeah, you know, makes it pretty clear. And then

(16:43):
like also the defenses, like some of the defenses in
the movie they scramble F fourteen tomcats, so that suggests Iran. Yeah,
so people are like, who at top gum Averick new
to future. It was made with the full support and
cooperation of the pan A Gone, as was the original,
so you could view it as not an act of

(17:06):
magical seeing of the future, but rather of predictive programming
or propaganda that valorized an attack on Iran to the
masses before it happened, so that, you know, to manufacture
consent in advance.

Speaker 4 (17:21):
Yeah. I think another detail people should know is you want.

Speaker 3 (17:24):
To know how Iran has F fourteen tomcats.

Speaker 2 (17:27):
We gave them to that the seventies.

Speaker 1 (17:31):
That's right, bad news for fans of M Threegan, the
robot who serves cunt.

Speaker 3 (17:37):
Yeah. M Threegan one was good, right, and three one
was good.

Speaker 1 (17:41):
M Threegan two point zero is about to drop on
all of our asses. And here are some of the
headlines we're getting. M Threeguan two point zero is exactly
zero point zero percent watchable.

Speaker 2 (17:57):
You'll be shocked by how bad.

Speaker 1 (17:59):
M threegan two points know is why is that just
like a reference to that robots run on electricity and
so it's like you'll be shot.

Speaker 3 (18:07):
Very small wonder coded.

Speaker 1 (18:09):
M three again two point zero review. Killer Robot Girl
gets new foe, but no upgrade in sequel.

Speaker 2 (18:15):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (18:16):
I will say I'm still holding out hope because first
of all, the first one was not like good. It
was just like fun, you know. I guess it was
pretty good. But one of the few favorable reviews did
call it hyper camp, dumb, funny, unexpected mashup of Terminator two,
Judgment Day and Mission Impossible mmmmm, which is actually not

(18:37):
necessarily what I'm looking for right from this movie.

Speaker 4 (18:41):
But anyways, I guess there's like they they're just making
a lot of people are saying it's real TikTok.

Speaker 3 (18:46):
Ready, it's like so campy to just be memed out.

Speaker 1 (18:48):
And I'm like, oh, okay watching TikTok, but like not
being able to be like, all right, I'm tired of
this one.

Speaker 3 (18:56):
Let's move along. I gotta do a bilely funk dance
right now.

Speaker 1 (19:00):
All right, Well, Brian the editor will be able to
report back because he's going to see it this weekend.

Speaker 2 (19:05):
Thank you and I thank you for your service.

Speaker 1 (19:08):
That is going to do it for this Wednesday, June
twenty fifth. We're back tomorrow with the whole last episode
of the show. Until then, be kind to each other,
be kind to yourselves, get the vaccines while he's still okay,
get your flu shot, don't do nothing about white supremacy,
and we will talk to you all tomorrow.
