Speaker 1 (00:02):
Hot gods, come stay on top in the woods shove.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
So all I told you, guys was I've got a
wild story about how George Colote might have broke up
Tenacious Tea temporarily, I left out some very crucial details.
So I'm going to play you, guys thirty seconds from
an interview. The guy who's the reporter conduct conducting the
interview and podcast. His name is Andrew Callahan. His subject
(00:36):
is the son of Joe Biden Hunter Biden, who we've
last talked about. He got pardoned, but he was You
remember at the strip club he would put the Fleet
Foxes on on his lap while he.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Was getting a lap dance. He would have that on
his like on his leg.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Very strange, and fleet Foxes are just not stripper songs.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
So wait, he was disrespecting the strip club DJ by
playing his own left dance song.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Yeah, well, I think he probably was in a private room.
I would imagine, you don't know, I assuming he's a
man of a little bit of money.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
I don't know, are you now a lot of money?
Are you familiar with the fleet fox has been?
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Okay, that is not strip not at all. I couldn't
really get over that fact. That was very funny to me.
It was so we just know this guy has done
a lot of drugs, he's a little unhinged. So he's
doing an interview and this thing went on for like
three hours. But the first question before we get to
the tenatious deep art is he's mad that George Clooney
(01:34):
turned on Joe Biden because when Joe Biden fumbled the debate,
George Clooney took out an op ed in the New
York Times.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
It was like, we gotta find someone else. Yeah, the
Democrats gott to find someone else. That was sort of the.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
Catalyst too, to really get that thing turned around on Biden.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Hunter Biden hates George Clooney with a passion. Did he
want to drop out?
Speaker 5 (01:53):
No, George Clooney's you know, came out with his and
maybe it was a little before that with his op ed.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
And why is George Clooney always said he.
Speaker 5 (02:01):
Said that the president needed to be introduced to him
at a fund reserve. But the guy on his shoulder,
who's usually a military officer, has a one job to
say the name of the person that's walking up.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
That's it.
Speaker 5 (02:15):
He makes up the story about how the president had
to be introduced to him.
Speaker 6 (02:18):
Oh, like he didn't recognize George Clooney exactly because of
like Dementierson.
Speaker 5 (02:23):
I don't know that that's the implication, right, yeah, like
he's forgetting things.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Now, if you'll seen how much of VP, see a
little bit of Veep, a little bit Buster Bluth from
Arrested Development plays this role for Elaine from seinfeldt as
it's every time at whatever event they're at.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Just that's Senator Johnson was just quietly because they don't
they can't remember this amount of people. It's too just
too much to do.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
By the way, so who's the guy interviewing by none this?
Because this is callahan name. This is everywhere right now, yeah,
and it's number one news story. My favorite thing is
he the difference in cocaine regular cocaine and crack and
the clips push a t from the clips repurposed it
and said go on.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Okay, So here is Callahan asking about this. This is
the Tenacious D event because Today's D timporarily broke up
right after Trump got shot because Kyle Gass on stage
in Australia was like, maybe you don't miss next time.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
The crowd laughed.
Speaker 6 (03:24):
My only really famous Hollywood friend is actor Jack Black,
you know from School of Rock, and so Tenas's Need
did a concert in Sydney, Australia. You know, this is
a day after they tried to assassinate Trump and Butler
Pa and I guess Jack Black's guitarist or whatever jumps
up on stage and he's yells up into the effective. Hey,
next time you aim, you try to shoot Trump, aim
a little bit closer next time. George Clooney is blowing
(03:47):
his phone up, being like, if you don't kick your
band member out of the band, and like publicly denounced
this guy. Like I don't know what the consequences were,
but it was kind of like you're out, out of
what we don't know, and so his hand was basically
forced to be like, sorry, my band member has serious
mental health problems. We're breaking up the band for now.
The tours canceled, and so, I mean, it is cool
to see Hollywood actors voice more progressive opinions, but.
Speaker 5 (04:13):
Kim Kim Kim and everybody around him, I don't have
to be nice. Number one. I agree with Quentin Tarantino.
George Clooney is not an actor he's a brand. And
by the way, din God bless him. You know what,
he suposedly treats his friends really well, you know what
I mean, buys them things, and he's got a really
great place in Lake Como. You what do you have
(04:33):
to do with anything? Why do I have to listen
to you? What right do you have to step on
a man who's given fifty two years of his in
life to the service of this country and decide that you,
George Clooney, are going to take out basically a full
page ad in the New York Times to undermine the president.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Okay, so you can see how mad he is, George,
but him. Yeah, but it was obvious.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
Yes, the whole world was like, dude, why are y'all
trotting this weekend at Bernie's dead guy out there?
Speaker 1 (05:01):
You know what?
Speaker 4 (05:02):
The big problem with saying who cares what you think?
Actor is And it's like, okay, but why do we
care what you think? Whoever you are right now saying
what you're saying. Yeah, Like people put, you know, credence
in whoever they respect, and so it's like, I mean,
it's hard to muster up a lot of respect for
(05:23):
Hunter Biden.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Oh, his track record is not awesome, so bad.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
So I'm just sitting there listening to Hunter Biden trash
George Clooney going all right, and you have credibility because
why But.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Also George Clooney, I don't like him texting Jack Black though. Yeah,
I'm like you if I stay out of that. Yeah,
su Tenacious need to do their thing and whatever happens.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
And he makes it sound like Clooney thought he was
in charge of like who makes it and who doesn't.
Probably was telling him this will be bad for you. Yeah,
he was not for me. I'm not threatening you what
I'm gonna do to you because I run Hollywood.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
And I also think Clooney is so involved in democratic politics,
so he's saying, hey, this is bad for dem democratic
politics to share on assassinations, Like what are you really
accomplishing right now? Nobody wants their enemies murdered?
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Stop?
Speaker 5 (06:08):
All right?
Speaker 3 (06:09):
We will get into Cowboys camp stuff at four o'clock
because we are the official unofficial number one show of
Dallas Cowboys training Camp. And that's not there in Oxnard,
