Speaker 1 (00:00):
I'm not going to say who it was, but there was.
I was at a party.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
And I I, you know, show up to the party
and there was somebody that had basically been on the
ropes in terms of sort of getting canceled, right, and
there's like, you know, it's kind of a big public
He was one of those Hollywood parties where it's like
there are cameras and press.

Speaker 1 (00:17):
And all that stuff. And this person had made a
lot of some of.

Speaker 2 (00:20):
My favorite movies and I was like, oh, like this
is this is great, like and he came up and.

Speaker 1 (00:25):
He said nice to meet you. Such I was like, oh, dude, a.

Speaker 3 (00:27):
Big, big fan.

Speaker 2 (00:28):
And then a photographer said like, hey, can we take
a picture of the two of you guys? And this
person was recently canceled and I.

Speaker 1 (00:33):
Was like it was it was like not good.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
I was a fan of their work, but not a
fan of their their choices, right, So I was just
kinda being nice. But then when you're they want to
take a picture with you, I realized very quickly how like.

Speaker 1 (00:47):
I was like, oh, I don't know if this is
a good idea. He clearly clocked that.

Speaker 2 (00:51):
I was like, oh, this is probably not a good
idea and I realized I was like, this guy, his
face is toxic, you know, like going out of the world,
Like people are having a visceral reaction to this person
in terms of the bad choices they've made. And you know,
the character that I play in Chad, it's like Russ
Holliday is a guy that just made a mistake, right,

(01:12):
He's not a bad guy. Some of these other people
that get canceled, they should they should.

Speaker 1 (01:17):
Lie where they're they're shot.

Speaker 4 (01:19):
They should lie where they're shot when they get canceled.
That's Glenn Powell, you might remember him from Maverick. That's
from a recent podcast and he is starring as Chad
Powers in the recently created Hulu series by the Manning
brothers Eli Manning in particular. I believe this is the
right side of Hollywood. We've got some subs in. But
like I said on the promo, there better than Coy
and Vance filling in for Bowen Luke on the Dukes

(01:40):
of Hazzard. I don't know if that reference is lost
on Jody Calmer or not, but she is one of
our panelists today.

Speaker 1 (01:45):
Local comedian went right over in my head.

Speaker 4 (01:47):
Wow, you know, Jody you're making me feel old right
out of the gate.

Speaker 1 (01:54):
Thank you for that.

Speaker 4 (01:55):
And also filmmaker johnn I got two filmmakers here, but
Joseph Granda from The Sisqualogists, which was just recently released,
joined us in the studio brought our attention to that
clip and we'll break it down in just a moment,
and Deborah Flora joining us by phone for the opening segment. Joseph,
since you introduced this clip to me, I want you
to comment on it first.

Speaker 1 (02:14):
There's so much to unpackt there.

Speaker 3 (02:15):
Yes, Glenn Cameltoe Powell. That has happened to the men
in this world like boy, this is a guy who
plays macho stuff but can't stand up for himself for
a photo. Listen, if he went through this through the
call sheet of the people he has to work with
on his last five films, he wouldn't be able to

(02:37):
work since he's become the moral arbiter of the universe.
I mean, come on, can you imagine Steve McQueen or
Clintie Swoo doing that? No, say, take my pig, sure
you know what I mean?

Speaker 1 (02:47):
That was a good yeah, just then move on.

Speaker 3 (02:51):
Nobody would have thought of it, but he had the
comment on it, and now we're talking about it. Yeah, Jody,
you have been canceled and you were there's a badge
of honor. Joseph was complimenting you before the program. But
something you can kind of relate to here. What goes
through your mind when Glenn Powell says, I'm like, I
can't take a picture of this person. This person's been canceled.

Speaker 5 (03:09):
I mean, cowardice is contagious, and I think when everybody
else in Hollywood is just an absolute coward, I feel like,
you know, it's more of that group think we were
talking about before the show started.

Speaker 4 (03:23):
And it's so much easier to just join the mob
rather than stand up to them. And that's what Glenn
Powell's doing here. And cowardice is the perfect word, isn't it.

Speaker 5 (03:30):
Sure? Yeah, cowardice And also just I mean, once you
put one foot out of line, you know, and you're
getting all these demands from people to.

Speaker 1 (03:40):
Apologize or to walk it back. Yeah, never do that.
Never ever do that. Well, and I would tell Glenn
Powell to never do that.

Speaker 4 (03:47):
For the point that Joseph was making, Okay, you're not
going to take a picture with this person that's been canceled. Well,
who are the approved people? Then that you can take
a picture with them? What if they step out of line?
And then the greatest irony of all, Deborah Flora, is
that he compares this was character Chad Powers and I
haven't watched this yet, but I plan on it because
Eli Manning's awesome.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
I love that guy. But he's made a mistake in
his life and he's looking to a tone for that mistake.

Speaker 4 (04:07):
So he allows that for this fictional character, but not
for this mystery person in Hollywood who he wouldn't have
a photo taken with.

Speaker 1 (04:14):
Do you have any guess as to who he's referring
to their Deborah you, well.

Speaker 6 (04:19):
I have, I know many people having been in Hollywood
and the underground Conservative organization we had to form so
people wouldn't get canceled.

Speaker 1 (04:27):
But here's what is the height of hypocrisy.

Speaker 6 (04:30):
He states that he long admires this individual's work, which
really is what it should be about.

Speaker 1 (04:35):
Their hired for their craft and for their artwork.

Speaker 7 (04:38):
And then at the same time you've.

Speaker 6 (04:39):
Got Hollywood screaming about things like you know, Jimmy Fallon
and others, as though they're being canceled. I just look
at Glenn Hammond'm like, really dangerous territory.

Speaker 1 (04:49):
Guess what what if you.

Speaker 6 (04:50):
Don't stand up for people right now who's work you admire,
that's their job, and what happens then when you're the
one that's canceled and the hypocrisy is just dripping To
say the least.

Speaker 5 (05:00):
Joe you had to guess, Oh, yeah, has been just
texted me? Says According to the redditors it was. They
think it was Armie Hammer.

Speaker 1 (05:09):
Oh come on that guy waiting?

Speaker 6 (05:13):
Yeah exactly, And know an Army is someone that we
knew for quite a while, and you know who has
helped him out of a really bad time in his life,
Robert Downey Junior. Because if anybody doesn't know what it
takes to lose everything, you look at him, You look
at Rob Low, They come back, and then at the
hero's journey, someone who has done something wrong, Armie Hammer

(05:34):
is certainly paid for it and is working his way back.
I'd rather, you know, look up to someone like Robert
Downey Junior who says, you know what, been there, done that?
Not going to judge help someone back?

Speaker 3 (05:43):
Well, Armie Hammer just did texts to creepy texts and
stuff can I ask her, were you talking earlier about
conservative groups about friends of Abe.

Speaker 1 (05:53):
Yes, yeah, I was a member of that. Well we
should have met.

Speaker 6 (05:56):
I was the first executive director, and I told Gary
who arted, And I'm like, great, I can't tell anybody
what I do. So I am a community organizer like
Barack Obama.

Speaker 1 (06:06):
In the valley. That group is yeah, there you go
in the valley.

Speaker 6 (06:10):
And by the way, we took that group from probably
about ten when my husband and I weren't in it.
He was a producer with Walt Disney Studios. Still we
three thousand, three thousand people who for the most part
had to hide their viewpoints for fear of getting canceled.
So not taking a whole lot of free speech advice
from people that are in the thick of Hollywood right

(06:30):
now ready to walk away from others.

Speaker 1 (06:32):
In the closet now.

Speaker 4 (06:33):
Gary Sinise of course central to that, as Debrah points out,
a personal friend of hers and of Jonathan, her husband's.
Here's more from Glenn Poell, because again, the cognitive dissonance
here is striking.

Speaker 1 (06:45):
But like with Russ, he made a mistake.

Speaker 2 (06:48):
He acted, you know, poorly about it, and the world
kind of didn't forgive him, and he couldn't forgive himself.
And what I found to be really interesting is that
in today's day and age, like there's a lot of
like the cancel culture is just sort of a thing,
and like how the world doesn't really let you forget

(07:09):
your mistakes. You know we talked about with phones, you know,
with TikTok and Instagram. It's like so many people make
mistakes and the internet doesn't let you forget right. And
I found it to be interesting how people react to
those moments, you know, what they double down on. Do
they take accountability in those moments? Do they you know,
believe in conspiracy theories? Do they blame other people? Do

(07:31):
they do all this other stuff?

Speaker 3 (07:32):
And I found that like.

Speaker 2 (07:35):
Just having a character that's like learning to say I'm sorry,
learning to say like I wish I would have done
it differently, all those things is like a really beautiful
thing because especially when you.

Speaker 1 (07:46):
Do go through those moments, like I think we've probably.

Speaker 2 (07:48):
All gone through life where we just want to have
a different face, like we don't like ourselves, we don't
want to do that, And I feel like the fresh
start it sort of like creates an underdog story, which
is just the blank slate of somebody who goes, hey,
I made a bunch of mistakes and I just want
to do it better this time. And this guy, Chad
Powers kind of offers him a second chance.

Speaker 1 (08:05):
That did the thing you love, so you already calm.

Speaker 4 (08:06):
I want to start with you, because you know, I
wouldn't like to hit the reset button here and there.

Speaker 1 (08:11):
But it goes back to something we were just talking about.

Speaker 4 (08:13):
You know, if we just lay in the altar and
apologize to the leftist mob, they will leave us alone.

Speaker 1 (08:18):
That is a fallacy that never happens. That never happens.

Speaker 5 (08:21):
And honestly, I'm I'm really glad that I never even
tried to walk anything back. It was like the angrier
people were getting at me, the more base it made me.
I was like, I know that I'm saying true things.
I know that what I'm saying is right, and you
guys are being ruthless and you're twisting everything that I'm
trying to say. You're just twisting it into pretzels. That's

(08:44):
not at all what I'm saying. You can't reason with
people like that, Joseph.

Speaker 4 (08:48):
Your reaction to what you just heard from Glenn Pell
I wish Glenn pal the worst, and this is what
I wish.

Speaker 3 (08:57):
This is what I wish for him, because I've seen it.
I wish that he becomes one of the most famous
people in the world, and I hope that he gets
poured with endless riches in his life. That's what I
wish for him. That's the worst I've seen it. Yes,
you have firsthand.

Speaker 1 (09:13):
I've seen it, Deborah.

Speaker 4 (09:15):
What Glenn Powell said there, I mean, he lives in
a bubble and that those comments I think reinforced that.

Speaker 8 (09:21):
Well.

Speaker 6 (09:21):
I mean, you can't say in the same interview, although
obviously you can say in the same interview because he
did it, but that someone's face is toxic. Therefore you
will not take a photo with them and then talk
about this character that he plays. Who thinks he is
so he thinks his character is so wonderful because he
helps people have a second chance.

Speaker 7 (09:38):
You know.

Speaker 1 (09:38):
I just think it's amazing, and it does.

Speaker 6 (09:40):
Show the bubble that people live in that they say
these things and somehow think that it is admirable, when
it really shows the hypocrisy that he's taking. And listen,
I like Glenn Powell's work. I actually am surprised by
this because he's the one that stood up with Twisters
when people were criticizing that it didn't deal with global warming.

Speaker 7 (09:59):
It's like, you know what, people don't go to that
for movies. They just be entertained.

Speaker 6 (10:03):
And I thought, finally someone who's just standing up for
you know what makes sense.

Speaker 1 (10:07):
But you know, I do agree with Joseph. I was
you know, I'm a recovered actress.

Speaker 6 (10:11):
In my left brain, in my right mind, I had
seen what happened. The longer you're in that environment, you
are more in.

Speaker 1 (10:20):
A silo structure, and the pressure of fitting.

Speaker 6 (10:24):
In and what's really kind of a high school situation
gets to you at a certain point time. So I'm
sad to hear this interview.

Speaker 4 (10:31):
She's Deborah Flora, Joseph Grandad, Jody Calm also in studio
with us.

Speaker 1 (10:34):
Christian Toto's in Pittsburgh and I've been texting with him.

Speaker 4 (10:37):
We move on now to the curious case of Emma Wilson,
as she corrected Jay Leno Nutt too long ago. Here's
Fiona Mcinena, author of Turf Island. If you know what
turf stands for as trans exclusionary radical feminists. So second
wave feminist. Think Ruth Bader Ginsburg, think Glorious Steinhem, that's
Fiona Macinena. These are not conservative women, by the way,

(10:57):
and neither is JK. Rowling, But it's Emma has backed
off for very sharp criticism of the author of the
books that became the movies for which Emma watched and
start is Remione and made all of her millions.

Speaker 9 (11:09):
And I think there are some other positive signs too
that things are shifting. When you see the media starting
to say trans women or men, then I think we really,
we really are winning. But Emma Watson was careful, wasn't
she not to go too far. I think what she's
going to find now is you can't sit on the fence.
She was a real cheerleader for Mermaids the charity, and

(11:31):
for transitioning children and for people knowing who they are.

Speaker 10 (11:34):
It was also kind of ant.

Speaker 9 (11:35):
There's that clip of her at the Bafters and it
was just kind of like a really snidy There's that
bit where.

Speaker 3 (11:40):
She says I'm here for all the which like yeah,
it's yeah right when JK.

Speaker 1 (11:46):
Rowning was getting a.

Speaker 9 (11:47):
Lot of great So whether she is trying to row
back from that full hearted support for transitioning children, or
whether she's just trying to get back in with jk
Rowling in the.

Speaker 1 (11:58):
Hope of work. Who knows.

Speaker 9 (12:00):
Richard Dowkins is an interesting case because you know, I'm
sure when he wrote The Gold Delusion he thought that
was quite out there. It turns out that saying men
can't become women is even.

Speaker 1 (12:08):
More out there. And who would have thought that?

Speaker 9 (12:11):
But he's someone whose career is so established that he's
not at any risk. The real win is when ordinary
people can say those things.

Speaker 1 (12:20):
And I don't think we're quite there yet.

Speaker 4 (12:22):
Jk Rowling quote posted this on x and one of
the key takeaways in a beautifully written post by one
of the great writers of our.

Speaker 1 (12:30):
Time was this quote.

Speaker 4 (12:32):
Like other people who've never experienced adult life, uncushioned by
wealth and fame, Emma has so little experience of real life.
She's ignorant of how ignorant she is. She'll never need
a homeless shelter. She's never going to be placed on
a mixed sex public hospital ward. I'd be astounded if
she's been in a high street changing room since childhood. Deborah,

(12:54):
starting with you. Jk Rowling's response and why is Emma
Watson backing off of this.

Speaker 1 (13:01):
Well, it's very interesting. I think some of it has
to do with the fact as J.

Speaker 6 (13:05):
K Rowling also notes that Emma Watson going on the
attack mode wasn't actually serving her very well and so
now she's trying something else. And I like that jk
Rowling refers to it as performative sympathy. I mean, there's
so much performing that goes on in social media, you know.
Whatever her reason, I just so appreciate that jk Rowling

(13:25):
has not stepped down.

Speaker 5 (13:27):
She is not backed up.

Speaker 6 (13:28):
Anybody can get canceled to Dave and though obviously she's
one of the greatest writers and most prolific and successful
writers of our time, but she really.

Speaker 2 (13:37):
Sums it up.

Speaker 7 (13:38):
The people who are in Hollywood, you know, or are
stars somehow feel this extends to their ability to comment
on absolutely everything as an authority.

Speaker 6 (13:49):
And I think she calls it out. You know what,
live a little, get a little experience, understand what it's
like to be a woman and a battered women's shelter,
and because of extreme transgender policies.

Speaker 1 (14:00):
Told you're about to sleep next.

Speaker 6 (14:01):
To a man, get a little life experience, and get
out of your bubble. I just think jk Rowling put
it perfectly, and you know, truth will out. It's you know,
wasn't going to be found to be very much on
the wrong side.

Speaker 1 (14:14):
Of this issue, Joseph. JK. Rolling is the mother I
never had to start there.

Speaker 3 (14:21):
You know, if people have any real sincerity, they would
make the apology to to somebody and not get involved
in then let me give you a buck. And if
you are a real example, because I know this firsthand,
Lance Armstrong traveled around the world and met the people
that he harmed and misspoke of and apologized to them

(14:43):
to their face. Now some of them still don't talk
to him. But that's how you do it. When you
have some sort of sense that's not just an apology,
that's something that's something greater, you know. And if she
wants to get back to the good graces of people,
you go and you make that apology. Then you don't
go on the radio or whatever and go I went
and did this, and I went to you know this
sort of posturing.

Speaker 4 (15:02):
It's that simple, Jody. It was made clear by J.
K Rowling in that post as well that Emma Watson
did all this public speaking against JK. And then in
a real little private note wrote her a one sentence
thing like I'm sorry for everything you're going through.

Speaker 5 (15:17):
Right, And she said, you know she has my phone number. Yes,
she decided to write it to you first.

Speaker 1 (15:21):
Okay. Two things.

Speaker 8 (15:22):
One.

Speaker 1 (15:23):
JK.

Speaker 5 (15:24):
Rowling is an absolute here. Yes, I cannot think of
a more heroic woman. She has put herself on like
she didn't have to do any of this, She didn't
have to enter the culture war. Absolute hero. Number Two,
There's no such thing as a turf. It is so ridiculous.
You cannot be exclusionary of something that doesn't belong in

(15:47):
that category.

Speaker 1 (15:47):
It's like trans.

Speaker 5 (15:49):
Radical, you know, bicycle orange like it just doesn't like
they're not the same thing.

Speaker 1 (15:54):
You can't be excluded like it's just not in that category.
You sound like you President.

Speaker 4 (15:59):
Trunk trying to do the man woman television camera imating
a bunch of nouns right now, But I passed it with.

Speaker 1 (16:05):
Flying colors, bicycle as beautiful bicycle. My bicycle is orange.

Speaker 4 (16:10):
It's the orangest Bill Byrd who has orange hair with
a transition there. He decided to perform at the Read
Comedy Festival, and this is one of the jokes that
was approved for script I believe by those in Saudi Arabia.

Speaker 11 (16:25):
I'm not allowed to do that, but it's still socially
acceptable to shoot a missile in the general direction of
somebody you're upset with. We're like, oh, there was like
kids over there. This is my favorite response. Well, you
know they're using kids as human shields. It's like, well,
you got to work around that. Jesus Christ. If I'm

(16:51):
mad at my neighbor and I want to beat the
out of him, but he's holding a baby, right, I
wouldn't come in and try to punch him through the baby.

Speaker 1 (17:01):
Hey, you go in, you know, you throw a hawk.

Speaker 11 (17:04):
Just sweep the legs you're doing on the lawn so
the baby bounces off the grass, all right.

Speaker 4 (17:11):
Joseph Bilberg taking a lot of heat for performing there.
He called it one of the top three experiences I've
had and quote mind blowing, saying, quote it was a
great to experience that part of the world and to
be a part of the first comedy festival over there
in Saudi Arabia.

Speaker 1 (17:25):
Your thoughts, Saudi Arabia is hilarious. Hilarious.

Speaker 3 (17:28):
Country woman can't have any right. I mean if Lenny
Bruce is turning in his grave looking at you know,
these are the people who are supposed to point the
finger through humor at institutions like that, institutions that literally
chopped up a journalist kahoki, excuse me, I don't want

(17:49):
to get canceled, literally chopped up a journalist for speaking
the truth and hauled them out in a luggage.

Speaker 7 (17:56):
You know.

Speaker 3 (17:56):
So, but it just goes down to that these people
will do anything for money, and none of those people
need any more money really as far as I know, right,
you know, and Tim Tim Dillon was on that list too,
and he was at least he's like, yeah, I'll take
their money. I don't care what they do. Well, I
could live with that, just be honest, Yeah, I don't care,
but don't try and sugarcoat it. And then he got

(18:17):
he got, he got kicked off the tour because of
a joke he made about slaves in Saudi Arabia.

Speaker 4 (18:23):
So, Jody, this is a comedian Bill Burr who was
shouting free Luigi Luigi Manngioni, the murderer of the healthcare CEO.
But he's okay with performing before these barbaric warlords in
Saudi Arabia.

Speaker 1 (18:35):
Yeah, I don't even know where to start with this one.
That that was dark, that was dark.

Speaker 5 (18:41):
I'm not gonna punch through the baby, I mean, but
that's literally the position that they're putting them in, right,
you know, I mean, yeah, not.

Speaker 4 (18:50):
Very well thought out, but not surprising from the suddenly
very disappointing Bill Burr, Deborah, your thoughts.

Speaker 6 (18:57):
You know, I just think comedies in the world have
hurt present company.

Speaker 1 (19:00):
Excluded being with both of you right now.

Speaker 6 (19:02):
But you're welcome, You're welcome. But really, you know, when
you look at it, the censorship in action in the
United States of America, where you can't make jokes one side,
you know, from one perspective, but then taking it even
further here is just a continuation of a hypocrisy. It's
time to get back to comedy, being free, being pointing

(19:23):
at both sides, the ability to laugh at oneself. But yeah,
that joke about the baby, I'm kind of with Jody
on this that that was one step too far, one joke.

Speaker 8 (19:33):
Too far for me.

Speaker 1 (19:34):
Deborah.

Speaker 4 (19:34):
Finally, you're joining us remotely here, but you got an
event coming up Sunday for a film that you're participating in.

Speaker 1 (19:39):

premiered to theaters nationwide. It's being shown by an amazing.

Speaker 1 (19:51):
Group called Braver Angels.

Speaker 6 (19:52):

re establishing a civil discourse, and this is a school
board election and there's something in.

Speaker 1 (20:01):
There for everybody.

Speaker 6 (20:02):
So go to my Facebook page, Deborah Flora. It's going
to be shown this Sunday in Parker by Braver Angels.
We might ever be to come.

Speaker 7 (20:11):
And you know what, com if you don't disagree, that's really.

of that.

What she's done yet, hasn't even us yet? And if
he's not stopped now we have lost our country. And
I don't know, Nicole, how it is that some people
cannot see it.

Speaker 5 (22:13):
Well.

Speaker 12 (22:13):
My therapist said, why are you so upset? And I
said to her, why are you not.

Speaker 1 (22:19):
Who's offering the therapy there?

Speaker 4 (22:20):
Rosier O'Donnell goes overseas, leaves the country because Trump won,
goes to Ireland, can't stop thinking about Trump. We're talking
about Trump goes to the Irish pub says that people
buy your drinks all the time.

Speaker 1 (22:31):
Oh with you, here you go, here's a pine tickenness
for you. Though.

Speaker 4 (22:34):
That's the best Irish I can do it. That very good,
but it illustrates the point. And Rosie o' donald, I mean,
think about this. A therapist is going, look, whoa, whoa,
whoa hit the brakes here, roseo, why are you so
upset about this? Why are you not? That's our first
nominee for a Friday Ful of the Week. Jody, calm
your thoughts.

Speaker 5 (22:54):
Oh did I need to do that?

Speaker 1 (22:55):
You drink you need to do that? Yes, it's required.

Speaker 5 (22:58):
I mean, so, how how many celebrities have left to
go live in Ireland or some likeThe O'donald Ellen generous?

Speaker 1 (23:06):
Yeah, there's been a few others. I think maybe it's
a little.

Speaker 5 (23:09):
More of a conspiracy there with Ellen. But yeah, I'll
leave it at that.

Speaker 1 (23:17):
Rosies. Just sorry, I didn't I didn't totally convey.

Speaker 4 (23:24):
Don't say it again though, because I got to ramp
back up. Sorry, that's okay, Okay, it's good.

Speaker 1 (23:29):
I left the whole clip, the whole clip, and people
on both sides.

Speaker 6 (23:33):
Yes, that was.

Speaker 5 (23:34):
That was my my my first big red pilled dose.
And I you know, I mean, it's a whole bunch
of other different things. Oh sure, but that was I
was like, why are they lying about this? And why
does everybody not know that they're lying about this?

Speaker 1 (23:51):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (23:51):
I spelled that out, chapter and verse on this program,
and it took a while, but it needed to be done.
You got to unwind that because they've wound it up
and then and they present this narrative fiction as complete fact,
and so many people bought it. Another person who bought it,
interestingly enough, is coming into Comedy Works South next week,
and that's Michael Rapaport. Oh, and I'm hoping to interview

(24:15):
him and I'll ask him about that very because that's
what kind of turned it around for him.

Speaker 1 (24:19):
He watched the whole thing. He's like, wait a minute,
exact same reaction as you. Jody. Yeah, Joseph, your thoughts
on Rosie.

Speaker 3 (24:25):
Oh, Rosie o'donald if a pumpkin could talk her therapist,
I'd love to see that.

Speaker 1 (24:33):
She doesn't need a therapist.

Speaker 3 (24:35):
She needs a rub on cream for her TDS because
it's just turned into like the sexually transmitted disease of
some sort for these people. Yeah, just like it's like
a contact high. It's really sad, quite frankly.

Speaker 4 (24:48):
You know, you can vote five seven, seven, three nine
for a Friday Fool of the Week, as is every Friday,
and we'll tell you those votes at the very end.

Speaker 1 (24:56):
We got four nominees today.

Speaker 4 (24:57):
Jody Calum in studio along with Joseph Granda filmmaker, and
here is Representative Hakeen Jeffries.

Speaker 1 (25:03):
Oh.

Speaker 4 (25:03):
He got really worked up over a meme in which
he was depicted as wearing a sombrero and having a mustache. Oh,
Lawrence O'Donnell had him on MSNBC and he says, we're.

Speaker 1 (25:15):
Not going to show that video. People want it to
can find it work.

Speaker 10 (25:19):
It's a disgusting video, and we're going to continue to
make Claire bigotry will.

Speaker 1 (25:24):
Get you nowhere.

Speaker 10 (25:26):
We are fighting to protect the healthcare of the American
people in the face of an unprecedented Republican bassault on
all the things Medicaid, medicare.

Speaker 1 (25:38):
The affordable care ract.

Speaker 10 (25:39):
Republicans are closing our hospitals, nursing homes, and community based
health clinics, and have effectively shut down medical research in
the United States.

Speaker 4 (25:48):
Of America for illegal aliens. The key buzzword there that
he leaves out Joseph A. Kim Jeffries really took one
on the chin here and Trump just keeps winning in
the mema verse.

Speaker 1 (26:00):
Yeah, jokeen, isn't that something gets caught in your throat?

Speaker 3 (26:02):
I could you're gonna have that checked out that sometimes
then that usually lands on the pavement.

Speaker 1 (26:10):
Yeah, you know, it's just theater.

Speaker 3 (26:11):
If there's so much political theater, it doesn't mean anything,
and that's just not the way to handle it anymore.
If he was really smart, he would have had somebody
turn downe a meme against Trump as a I don't know,
an orange tree in Florida playing golf or something. You know,
it's just this.

Speaker 1 (26:27):
Nobody listen, nobody. Nobody listens to these people.

Speaker 4 (26:30):
Anymore or takes them seriously after these allegations a bigoture.
What's what's bigoted about it? It's a sombrero, it's a mustache,
having a good time. There's a mariachi band. Here's the
original video, and Senator Chuck Schumer's voice is manipulated using
AI book.

Speaker 1 (26:45):
Guys, there's no way to sugarcoat it. Nobody likes Democrats anymore.

Speaker 13 (26:49):
We have no voters left because of all of our
woke trans both Not even black people want to vote
for us anymore. Even Latinos hate us. So we need
new voters. And if we give all these illegal aliens
free healthcare, we might be able to get them on
our side so they can vote for us. They can't
even speak English, so they won't realize we're just a

(27:11):
bunch of woke pieces of you know, at least for
a while until they learn English and they realize they hate.

Speaker 4 (27:17):
Us too, Jody, We know that the left can't mean
that's a big thing that's out there on the interwebs,
but they don't even know how to respond to this.

Speaker 1 (27:24):
It just makes Trump tougher. Yeah, not only that, but
it's hilarious.

Speaker 5 (27:29):
That's the problem that the left has is that they
can't even laugh it off.

Speaker 1 (27:33):
Actually, Vin seems to be he seems to.

Speaker 5 (27:36):
Be the only Democrat that's figured this out because he'll
hit back with something that's not as funny, but at
least like he kind of knows that that's the game
that they're playing.

Speaker 4 (27:45):
Now, and he delegates it to his staffers, who have
made constant missteps in this regard and they've had to
walk several of those posts back. It's not Gavin really
making When real Donald Trump sends out a message, whether
it's on True Social or X, you know it's the
orange man capitalization that's random, his misspellings that sometimes I
guess are intentional, but you know that it's him, and

(28:06):
you know that it's Kamala Harris when the word salad
comes out. All she's talking about here is going to
one of her own rallies and having a baby pasted
to her.

Speaker 1 (28:17):
But there's more meaning to it, you know, one of.

Speaker 8 (28:20):
My favorite things to see. And it would always happen
spontaneously at our rallies, and thousands of people would come
and there it would happen. Is invariably somebody would want
me to take a picture of a husband child uh huh,
and someone in the back would hand that baby over

(28:43):
through the crowd up.

Speaker 6 (28:45):
To you people who would the baby here, past.

Speaker 8 (28:49):
The baby, see past the baby, and then past the baby,
best the baby.

Speaker 1 (28:55):
I don't know, there was something about that when it
would happen.

Speaker 14 (28:59):
I mean, I could get very emotional about it right now,
but but you know, I believe that we should always
feel that, you know, the children of the community are
the children of the community, yeah, wow, of.

Speaker 1 (29:12):
All of us, that our next leaders, our next thinkers are.

Speaker 8 (29:15):
And that we all participate in caring about that child.

Speaker 1 (29:20):
Yeah, and in caring for that child. And there was
just something about.

Speaker 8 (29:25):
That travel from the parents and the parent trusted the
stranger that was next to them, who trusted the next person,
and all of them as though it was their own child.
There was something so magical in many ways about that
and about affirming about you can create an environment where

(29:47):
people feel safe and feel a sense of communal responsibility
and community.

Speaker 4 (29:54):
Yeah, we are all dumber for what you just said,
Kamala Harris. Now I cut that down, Jody, that it
was like three minutes of all of that, and I
only got it down to a.

Speaker 1 (30:03):
Minute and a half.

Speaker 5 (30:03):
Good God, community and trust and all these people we
were trusting.

Speaker 12 (30:12):
This baby and.

Speaker 1 (30:15):
Passed it up to a drunken hyena and community and inclusion.

Speaker 4 (30:24):
You know, I think we just found our new Kamala
impressionist to come on the show. That was really good.
I'm not expecting the same from you, Joseph. But just
when you think she couldn't get any dumber, she surprises us.

Speaker 3 (30:39):
Yeah, you know her voice.

Speaker 1 (30:40):
That's what happens when you have.

Speaker 3 (30:41):
A deviated septum from hanging out with Willie Brown at
San Francisco for so long. It's great that she loves
babies that now that they're born, she has no problem
with them. Prior to that, you wouldn't see her handing
a pregnant woman around.

Speaker 1 (30:59):
Bring the baby, Bring the pregnant lady. I'm here and
I'll take it out of her.

Speaker 3 (31:03):
Yeah, I mean, it's just I don't know, but if
she was, if she were a salady, it was the
only thing you could put.

Speaker 1 (31:08):
On is ketchup bench, just rowin the whole thing. I
don't get it.

Speaker 3 (31:12):
I don't know, but he's gott to be the president
of some major college in this country at some point.

Speaker 4 (31:17):
Yeah, perish the thought that you might be right. He's
Joseph Granda. Jody Calm also in studio. We'll get a
sneak peek at a film that has been released. It's
Joseph Granda's own The Sesqualogist, and we'll get their votes
on our Friday Fool of the Week.

Speaker 1 (31:31):
Those are your choices.

Speaker 4 (31:33):
Rosy o'donnellover in Ireland, still obsessed with Trump and can't
believe her therapist isn't either. Representative Hakeem Jeffries very upset
about being depicted with a sombrero and Kamala Harris right there.

Speaker 1 (31:45):
It's all about the baby.

Speaker 4 (31:46):
I'm not as good as Jody, so we'll take this
break and I'll work on that on the right side
of Hollywood. That's from the Sesqualogist says big whatever he
killed me one. Unfortunately, no was Joseph grand of the
film's creator, and it's a leading star and he got
a hat from him that shows him depicted in cartoon

(32:07):
form doing the very you know, the big foot swaying
arms pose that.

Speaker 1 (32:10):
Was allegedly captured on video. Is that real?

Speaker 3 (32:12):
By the way, that's the frame three fifty two? Is
the Bigfoot community will tell you of all the frames
that is framed three fifty two, so many frames. Yes,
tell people more about the movie, where they can find
it and what's going.

Speaker 1 (32:23):
On with it.

Speaker 3 (32:23):
So I have a travel across the country with it.
I went to about eight film festivals and three of
those at won Best Picture and Comedy in South Carolina.

Speaker 1 (32:31):
So that's great.

Speaker 3 (32:33):
Yes, And at this moment, it's going to get released.
So it showed it some theaters across the country. It's
gonna get released this month on a streamer where there's
kind of a bidding war going on right now that
it happened. But I think we know where we're going
with it, and I know that with the streamer that
it ends up with, you're going to get like I
think a week or two weeks to stream whatever is

(32:54):
they have on the channel and whatnot. And it's a
real interesting up and coming streamer.

Speaker 1 (32:59):
So we're working on that.

Speaker 3 (33:00):
It will be out and maybe I'll come back in
and we talk about it then certainly, Yeah.

Speaker 4 (33:04):
The Tessquologists look for it. Joseph Granda stars directs. So
what else did you wrote it? You would have wrote it.
I directed it, I produced it. I cleaned the portable
hot potty sometime.

Speaker 5 (33:13):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (33:15):
I put my kid in a scene because they saved
me five hundred dollars.

Speaker 1 (33:17):
Nice.

Speaker 3 (33:18):
If when you go to if you can go to
Joseph Granda dot com, yes, or google the sasqulogists, you
can watch the trailer and at the very end you
can see my lovely wife running through the frame screaming
because she also saved me five hundred dollars and.

Speaker 1 (33:30):
I having to hire a lot of savings an actor
that there.

Speaker 3 (33:32):
Yeah, Hey, what's that? True independent movie? Yes, shot in
the spirit of those great nineties independent films. It's been
compared to Wes Anderson film, which I'm very proud of.

Speaker 4 (33:41):
Nice congratulations and the success to this point and much
more in store, we hope for Joseph Granda.

Speaker 1 (33:46):
Now breaking news within the hour.

Speaker 4 (33:49):
Did he sentence to four years two months in prison
That verdict just handed down. Jody, calm your reaction. There's
so many things I know you want to say.

Speaker 1 (34:00):
Yeah, I mean it's gonna you already had to rewind it.

Speaker 5 (34:03):
We did.

Speaker 1 (34:03):
We had to dump you once. Yeah, I had to.
I gotta pune it down with my f bombs. Yeah,
don't do that.

Speaker 3 (34:11):
Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 5 (34:12):
Uh do you think that as a joke they're gonna
give his cellmate some baby oil?

Speaker 1 (34:16):
Oh boy?

Speaker 4 (34:18):
I'm just wondering when he could be released for good behavior.
What parole eligible would be in this case? Just as
you mentioned, he'd already served some time.

Speaker 3 (34:25):
So maybe that would count to it the whole time,
telling my Johnson and Johnson stock right now.

Speaker 1 (34:29):
Okay, all right, gave me a very smart he's on
top of it.

Speaker 3 (34:33):
Yeah, he's probably gonna get uh time served, which I
think is two years, okay, a double album record deal
and probably at his own show.

Speaker 4 (34:43):
And there seems like there will be another shoot a
job once he emerges from his imprisonment. So again, Sean
Diddycombs sentenced to four years two months in prison. Finally, Jody,
your vote for a Friday Fool the Week is it?
Rosie O'Donnell Is it a Keen Jeffries or is it
Kamala Harris.

Speaker 5 (34:59):
I mean it's Kamala every time. I don't think if
she's ever on the panel, I'm not going to vote
for Kamala.

Speaker 4 (35:06):
Well, especially since we just learned usually spot on Kamala
Harris impression, which will be used for future episodes.

Speaker 3 (35:11):
Joseph, your vote going Rosa Donald Rose. I don't understand
her relevance and culture anymore. Again, Okay, he's Joseph Granda.
Look for his film This esqualogist. Jody Calm, she's a comedian.
I'm trying to get her back out there on the
open circuit. This has been the right side of Hollywood.
