Speaker 1 (00:08):
Hello, listeners, and welcome back to an inevitable bonus episode.
We are back. You didn't know that we were gone,
but we were gone. We were gone for a long time,
and some of us were more gone than others here,
so welcome back, buddy. You are back from your six
week odyssey of a of a.

Speaker 2 (00:29):
Honeymoon, of a honeymoon.

Speaker 1 (00:32):
Want to hear all about it? You just got back yesterday,
is my understanding.

Speaker 2 (00:36):
I got back. I got back like a fourteen hours ago.

Speaker 1 (00:41):
Wow, and you look rested? Like shit, No, you look
you look great. You look good.

Speaker 2 (00:47):
Good buddy, I thank you.

Speaker 1 (00:48):
So just peek behind the curtain for listeners. So, while
Aviv was gone, it's not that I didn't hear from
you at all, but generally speaking, I have not really
talked to you in the very much. We haven't really
chatted at least compared to our.

Speaker 3 (01:01):
You did text me saying don't come back to America.

Speaker 1 (01:05):
Yeah, so a lot. Here's the thing. While you were.

Speaker 2 (01:09):
Gone, basically every everything happened, which.

Speaker 1 (01:12):
We knew a lot of things.

Speaker 3 (01:15):
We knew stuff was going to happen, but we didn't
know that we would that Ice would get even more
out of control than than it was on the episode
where we talked about Ice being out of control. Yeah,
didn't know that we would bomb Iran and everyone would
thought that World War three was happening briefly, And we
also didn't know that, uh well, we did know that

(01:37):
that Trump and Jeffrey Epsy were best friends and he
was on the island like a million times. But the
weirdest part to me is we didn't know that. I
didn't know that people would start to care all of
a sudden.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
Yeah, that that's truly been the most And I, frankly,
I don't really understand it because I'm like, we've known
this for.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
We've known this forever.

Speaker 3 (01:57):
Like why I think no one is per is as
perplexed about this more than Donald Trump? Because he's like,
what do you get? What do you I don't what
do you mean? What do you mean that I have
to answer for this now?

Speaker 2 (02:11):
What do you mean?

Speaker 1 (02:12):
Well? I mean on some level I do kind of
get it. I agree, because it's like he's like, why
was it not a problem that you then elected me?
And now that I'm elected, Now that I'm re elected
with this information that everyone already knows, then why did
you vote for me? It's like it's one of these things.
It's like, then, why did you vote for me? Yes?

(02:34):
New information?

Speaker 2 (02:36):
This reminds me.

Speaker 1 (02:37):
I thought you all were just cool with this.

Speaker 3 (02:40):
This reminds me of when Hannibal Burris uh said that
thing about Bill Cosby that ultimately was the beginning of
his downfall, which is like google Bill Cosby.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
Yeah, it's all there.

Speaker 1 (02:50):
It's this isn't new. Like they they are loving, including myself,
Like I'm I'm enjoying watching like the Breakdown because it's
just yeah, it's it's not going away, it's right, And
it's one of those things where I'm like, if.

Speaker 3 (03:07):
You love.

Speaker 2 (03:09):
He'll find a way to wheezl out of it. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (03:12):
But like if you look at the footage and the
pictures and everything, like they're all from like the nineties
and early two thousand, We've known this forever.

Speaker 3 (03:23):
And his brain is such pudding that he can't even
like properly lie about it. So uh, that underage girl
who like Trump basically like sold to Epstein. He's like,
oh yeah, Epstein, Epstein poached this girl, this fifteen year
old girl that was working for me, and the press
is like, would you say that again? He's like, yay,
Jeffrey Epstein, my best friend. He took that girl from

(03:43):
me for his I don't know. And I was like,
don't do that, Jeffrey.

Speaker 1 (03:46):
I stop stop stealing my low level, minimum wage employees.
That's why he's persona down grande. And it's like he
but he kept coming back to your club after you
said not to go back for like seven years. He's like, fun,
I don't know, which I don't. I must ask again,
why is this surprise?

Speaker 2 (04:05):
Why now?

Speaker 1 (04:05):
Why? But it is a question of like why now
is everyone like.

Speaker 3 (04:10):
Like, I agree, I'm not going to look at the
gift horse in the mouth, but it is a little puzzling.

Speaker 1 (04:16):
It's for the like his hardcore supporters that like those
that are turning on him now as a result of this.
It's like they genuinely.

Speaker 2 (04:24):
Thought for what the media was lying.

Speaker 1 (04:28):
That either the media was like or that like he
was going to release the files and then he would
not not be in the files, Like he's a trustworthy man,
he would never lie to us.

Speaker 3 (04:40):
This is currently the gambit because just yesterday they transferred
Julane Maxwell to a minimum security prison right which which
like they didn't have a legal right to do, and
they had to like get some da to sign off
on some weird fucking thing. But she's gonna come out
and say some nonsense shit basically on Monday, I bet
oh yeah.

Speaker 1 (04:59):
And it's and it's like then she's going to fantastic
get a life. Yeah, she's gonna get a complete pardon
for all of her crimes. And and even when that happens,
that is not that's only going to make this worse,
is the thing.

Speaker 2 (05:16):
I hope. So, I hope so for him.

Speaker 1 (05:18):
So so that happened.

Speaker 3 (05:20):
We also missed out on uh, the genocide and Gaza
getting so much worse that even my parents are like, guys,
you gotta gotta cool it here.

Speaker 1 (05:30):
Yeah, Trump is saying how bad the issue is in Gaza.

Speaker 2 (05:35):
That is, oh, well, this is this to me is
an intro.

Speaker 3 (05:39):
I have a really kind of I don't know if
it's like a hot take, but so I think that
this this is the beginning of phase two essentially, So
Marjorie Taylor.

Speaker 1 (05:49):
Really how we're dealing with this in like Marvel Cinematic
Universe terms.

Speaker 2 (05:52):
No, it's more like the final solution phases.

Speaker 1 (05:56):
Well, we got that ad campaign out now, so which we'll.

Speaker 2 (05:58):
Get well, we'll talk about it.

Speaker 1 (06:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (06:00):
So Marjorie Taylor Green a couple of days ago tweeted
out blue Scott's x out whatever something to something to
the effect of like why are j why are Jews
doing this to Gosins? Like like why are we hurting
the Gozzins? Why is it all the Jews fault? And
I'm like, well, here's here's the thing, Marjorie, and I

(06:22):
think that you know this, You and the Republican Party
and the Democrats to an extent, have been doing this
genocide and funding this genocide in my name me as
a as a Jewish person in America, to make me
safer supposedly or whatever, to fight anti Semitism. And now

(06:42):
now that the public opinion has has widely turned, You're like,
why would the Jews do this? Why? Why would why
would the Jews force our hand into into making us
do a genocide. I'm like, oh cool, Oh, it just
turned from protecting me to escapegoating me, just like this.

Speaker 1 (07:00):
Yeah, it's it's it's I don't even you know, like
you and this has been going on for a year
and more a year two years in October.

Speaker 3 (07:15):
Yeah, yeah, right, so like yeah, but it's it's also
been going on for seven Yeah, but like to this
in a different form.

Speaker 1 (07:24):
Right, you know, but it was it was the apartheid
with fewer.

Speaker 3 (07:28):
Bombs, right right, bombs fewer fewer flare ups, herpies flare up.

Speaker 1 (07:34):
Sure, So again and again it's it's.

Speaker 2 (07:37):
A dog now.

Speaker 1 (07:39):
It is another one of like why what changed exactly?

Speaker 2 (07:43):
I think public but like, but why but.

Speaker 1 (07:46):
People, why are people giving a ship about this? It's
it's not like this is new. This information has all
been out there and widely available.

Speaker 3 (07:56):
It reminds me of of like a like a Rosa
Parks situation. And I'm not making a one to one comparison. Please,
My name is Kevin pee Flynn. This is these are
the stories.

Speaker 1 (08:05):
But you know, hit to the back of the coffin.

Speaker 3 (08:10):
Rosa Parks was kicked off several buses and there are
several other people who kicked off buses until this one
event happened that just like was right place, right time,
and it woke some people up to this thing that
that had been false starting for so long. So I
think it's I just kind of think it's that and

(08:31):
the fact that social media is putting this this genocide
in everyone's faces, right, but it's.

Speaker 1 (08:37):
It's been in everyone's faces for practically the best two years.
So again I ask you, why now, dear listeners, why
what as you said, gift gift.

Speaker 3 (08:50):
Horse, Yeah right, don't look gift horse enough. However, it's
a bit of a welcome to the party pal situation.

Speaker 1 (08:57):
Right, And I let me guess I was, I'm gonna
predict what you go to say. There's like, well, we
did like the Civil Rights movement, kind of like the time.

Speaker 3 (09:03):
I was going to say Vietnam War. Yeah, same, same, right,
Like like if you look at the media from the
Vietnam War, it was all pro we're liberating the South
Vietnamese from the evil communist blah blah blah blah blah.
And then like after a couple of years it was like,
oh no, we're killing people, and we're killing people in
other we're bombing Cambodia.

Speaker 2 (09:22):
Oh no that died, No, no, he killed so many people.

Speaker 1 (09:25):
Right, It's a bit like.

Speaker 3 (09:29):
What else, what else happened while you're gone? Zorona? Mom?

Speaker 1 (09:33):
Donnie?

Speaker 3 (09:34):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (09:35):
What so?

Speaker 3 (09:35):
On his primary which turns out to be I guess
al Qaeda has taken over or.

Speaker 1 (09:40):
Something Okay, So on that note, I like him. Yes,
I like Crow very very here for that. The best
part about this was after losing the Democratic primary, Andrew
Cuobo then is was tinkering with the idea and I
think you so might be I don't know, with the
idea running as an independent and then said out loud

(10:05):
and like this was gonna be something that would motivate
people to vote for him that if Mom Donnie wins,
he's leaving New York. I'm like, sir, that you lost
the primary. So you saying that is the thing that
will motivate more people to vote to get you out?

Speaker 3 (10:22):
What are you? Also don't live in New York City?
You utter piece of shit?

Speaker 1 (10:27):
Like and the fact that the Democratic Party establishment is
doing everything that they can to try to destroy Mom,
It's like this shows you where we are, Like this
thet it's it's always been a sham and I I
have to so other things that I'm not I I

(10:50):
was thinking about this of you just to spite you.
It's like, well, in six.

Speaker 3 (10:53):
Weeks, I do want to I do want to relate
this to the thing that we're just talking about, though,
which is about Uhewish American Jewish complicity in the genocide
and Gaza. And so for whatever reason, Mom, Donnie is
being held up as this like anti quote unquote anti
Submitic candidate because he was at an event where someone

(11:15):
else said globalized the Intafada and he and he just
was there and for whatever reason, everyone's like, man, he's
a fucking anti semi blah blah blah, he's anti Israel.
And I think that, I know I've mentioned this before
on the show. There are far more evangelical Christians in

(11:36):
the United States who believe that Jews need to control
Jerusalem in order for the apocalypse to come and the
rapture to take them to Heaven. Then there are actual
Jews in this country, and if so, they're the ones
driving this, like let's say, like wolf in Sheep's clothing
thing about protecting versus anti Semitism. And if you need proof,

(11:59):
look at zorn on Donnie's numbers with Jews. According to
the Newsweek he leads he has a seventeen point lead
with Jewish voters, but that is only telling half of
the story, because if if you as just for like
just Jewish voters under the age of forty five, he
has like a fifty six point lead against it against

(12:21):
basically anybody else. So American Jews are far more progressive
than the media is painting them out to be, especially
younger American Jews.

Speaker 1 (12:32):
I think that's just younger people, I agree, But although
not a given in today's time totally.

Speaker 3 (12:41):
But because he's become like this avatar for both the left,
not the left, both the Democrats and the Republicans, painting
him as like the poster child for anti Semitism, like
the fact that that's that has carries no water is
a little gratifying to me.

Speaker 1 (13:00):
I mean, it is kind of amazing how APEC can
go from being like the most powerful organization to once
we turn now it's like, yeah, no one cares about
that anymore. Like you can throw as much money at
this as you want, Like we can't unsee what we've seen.
So it's like, had you just throttled back Israel at
a certain point, had you just been like I made

(13:20):
my point, it's rubble now and we can.

Speaker 2 (13:24):
Just go back to what it was star the two
million people are death right, and it's.

Speaker 1 (13:28):
Like, you know, it becomes more like and I also
do want to make a distinction that you were making
before because you would say, like anti Israel versus anti
Semitism two very different things. Very easy to be anti Israel,
what with the way that they act. The anti Semitism,
that's just hate.

Speaker 2 (13:45):
That's just hate, right.

Speaker 3 (13:46):
And because I'm the I'm an Israeli citizen, I'm the
son of two israel born individuals like I have kind
of an interesting perspective that that a lot of American
Jews who may have only been visited visited Israel a
couple of times. I think I can speak to both things.
I'm not just another dip ship.

Speaker 1 (14:08):
Yes, you have here your your bona fides. So I
mean it's because you've been gone. I I haven't been
able to torture you for for weeks. A lot has
happened in the Yeah, have you kept up on this?

Speaker 2 (14:24):
Oh? I sure haven't. Matt.

Speaker 3 (14:26):
Well, we do have a we do have a blue
sky or some message about that that I think will
either make you laugh or make you absolutely fear one
of the.

Speaker 1 (14:35):
You know, I'm going to spare you that I was
because you know what, I also want to have time
today to do other things, so I uh so I
will not.

Speaker 3 (14:45):
But I was like, all right, I heard she drop
I heard she dropped her suit. Right, No, the most
recent thing, No.

Speaker 1 (14:52):
There's it's here. It's gotten so like just to tell
you how insane this has gotten just over the last
six weeks. So the whole thing was she claims she
was sexually harassed, and then there was a quote unquote
smear campaign, right, classic classic, as a retaliation to a
story for her reporting that she was sexually harassed. So

(15:15):
she so Blake Fively's team sent out a bunch of
subpoenas that you have you tracked any of this? Is
this an okay? So she said, So it was supposed
to be like, okay, it's it's Baldoni and this and
this PR firm. They must have set up this smear
campaign and everything like that. So she sent subpoenas to

(15:35):
a bunch of content creators, and the subpoena was basically,
it's like anyone that your team has like even just
talked to in any way if they're a content creator,
you must reveal to us the list of people that
you did. Because the theory was like, oh, you you
this team, you guys got a bunch of content creators
to like start this snowball going and then it fucking

(15:58):
you know took off in that was the smear campaign.
So they revealed the list of people and it was
like none, it was like and it was like people
that requested interviews after the lawsuit was filed. So it
was like people like the allegation was like, oh, they
set this all up whenever they knew they were. It's like,
so it's now been revealed. It's like there, no, there's no,

(16:21):
there's absolutely nothing there. You know how much worse it
looks for you whenever you're like, well, the only reason
that people said this is because they were put up
to it. No, they weren't. They just don't like you.
Well it has to have been that the legal team
did this that It's like, no, it's just that people
don't like you for who you are as a person.

Speaker 3 (16:41):
It's this little pip A Coox in this episode where
she's just like someone hacked into our system and put
the child pornography on my husband's computer.

Speaker 1 (16:49):
The in visible man had a gun to his head
while the cops were in there to make but it's
like turned into that and anyway, like.

Speaker 3 (16:56):
Whatever, Otherwise she would have to admit, admit to herself
health that something that she definitely doesn't want to admit
to her.

Speaker 1 (17:02):
Which is that people just don't like her because of
who she is as a person. And that's and the
thing once they revealed the list of people, like, no,
there's nothing there. She's withdrawn a lot of these penis.
But the content creators were like the penis. They were
people that had like two followers, like not even like
big fish type thing. It's just like, if you ever
said anything bad about Blake Lively online, I'm expecting that

(17:25):
I'm gonna get a fucking subpoenia, Like you're you're the
But the thing I do want to just kind of
point out the fact is that during because this shit's
been going on for almost a year at this point,
my god, the law that seemingly Blake Lively was trying
to use the California law that prohibits basically the actions

(17:46):
that she's taking, which is like if you accuse someone
of sexual harassment, it protects them so that you can't
just like sue them out into oblivion and you can't
fight it, and and there you go, and she's using
that law, but she's doing the exact same tactics to
these people that that law was meant to curb.

Speaker 3 (18:02):
So those So you made two points that I think
are really salient to some of the other stuff that
we're going to talk about today, which is like, just
because a couple of people online say something mean does
not mean that there is like an organized conspiracy or
like a like a movement from whatever political party left right,

(18:24):
center to uh just to smear you or to this
is like coming from like party headquarters. Some things you're
just yeah, some things are just and so and some
and three. People being mad about something online doesn't mean
that like there's like a whole movement being created. The

(18:45):
other thing that you that you brought up is that
I find really fascinating is using the law as the
reverse of what it's intended to do.

Speaker 1 (18:55):
Yeah, it's using it as as the sword rather than
the shield.

Speaker 3 (18:58):
And basically this is like like Trump one o one yes, yep,
another thing that there and Republican one o one. This
is this is something that's been going on forever in
many different contexts, but you see it specifically with this.
We're we're canceling, we're curbing free speech and elect and

(19:20):
uh kidnapping people off the street in order to protect
free speech right stuff like that, and yeah, well some
idiots too. And another thing that we missed. A couple
other things that we missed. Elon Musk started his own
political party, which of course everyone knows now and it

(19:43):
is still talking about.

Speaker 1 (19:45):
I was about to say, when did that happen? Yeah,
I missed that.

Speaker 3 (19:49):
It was like a full news cycle and then it
just completely disappeared. I think he probably forgot about it.
And I believe just yesterday Trump announced that he's making
a ninety thousands square foot event space expansion to the
White House because he can't do anything that isn't tacky
as shit. But I also think that this I'm not

(20:11):
ever going to be the guy that's like, this is
a distraction from the real issues, you know. I think
it's all these are all real issues, and I think
that this is a smaller fight that he is picking
to distress that is like maybe winnable by the opposition party,
that that will draw their fire away from you know,

(20:33):
him being best friends with Jeff Jeffrey Epstein and going
to his island a bunch of times.

Speaker 1 (20:36):
Yeah, And the best part about that is whatever they were, like, uh,
their strategy of the Epstein thing, was just like everybody does.
It never existed. Those things that happen, It just never happened.
And then Congress and then whatever Congress was literally going
to vote to force them to do that. Rather than
take the vote, the Republicans literally just closed Congress early. Yeah,

(20:58):
they just closed. They were like, you know, never, but
we're going home.

Speaker 3 (21:02):
Congress is doing some really heinous ship right now, or
letting heinous shit happen. So closing Congress not the worst
thing in the world.

Speaker 1 (21:09):
Right, But I've never in my life thought that we'd
get to the point where it's like, rather than take
a vote, literally they just decided to shudder the building.

Speaker 3 (21:15):
Good fuck them? No, I mean Trump's Trump's crazy man.
But right, So, how's your week been?

Speaker 1 (21:22):
Matt week has actually been good? So in that same
six week stretch of time, I have gone to quite
a few, quite a lot of music. See Halsey whenever
they were here, fantastic show I went to go see.
At the last minute, I got a ticket to go

(21:44):
see Michael mc romance on the Black Parade or here
in Seattle. Great show. Just being Gussie did not go
with me on that one.

Speaker 2 (21:52):
Uh have you have you ever seen them? Before I had.

Speaker 1 (21:55):
Way in the way, way back when they were still
fairly small.

Speaker 3 (22:00):
I saw them on October twenty seventh, two thousand and four,
which is a red letter day for a couple reasons.
One of them it was my nineteenth birthday. But the
other reason is that it happened to be the day
that the Red Sox broke the Curse of the Bambino.
And I saw them at a venue like That's that's
across the street from Fenway Park, what is now the

(22:22):
House of Blues in Boston but used to be called
the Avalon, And they opened for Story of the Year
and the concert got out basically fifteen minutes before the
baseball game ended. Luckily the baseball game was in Saint Louis. Yeah,
but as basically as soon as I got back from
to my dorm, someone was like, we did it.

Speaker 2 (22:42):
We're going to the Riot.

Speaker 1 (22:44):
Yeah, so that's that's fun. But no, wit and saw them,
and then night before last went and saw Death Cup
for Cutie.

Speaker 3 (22:52):
Oh, another good work here in Seattle. Was it a
specific anniversary.

Speaker 1 (22:58):
Yes, it was their twenty the anniversary of Plans. Yeah,
and I didn't I didn't realize they're only going to
like seven cities or like seven three cities, seven south.
It's like it was here Chicago and Brooklyn.

Speaker 3 (23:12):
I was I was trying to go to the Transatlanticism
postal service double bill last two years ago or something.
I didn't didn't have the money. But yeah, I'm a big,
big postal service guy. Not the biggest death Cat guy,
but not a Deathcat guy.

Speaker 1 (23:32):
Yeah, I think I'm definitely I was definitely more familiar
with the postal server stuff than I was Deathcat. But
Cassie's a big Deathcat fan, but I'm a fan. I
just you know. It was one of those one of
those things there. But yeah, fantastic shows. So a lot
of music. And last night went in saw the Seattle
Storm play your Los Angeles sparks here. Very fun game

(23:54):
went double overtime, so it's good time. Gussie. Never been
to a professional basketball game of any variety, so oh,
very fine.

Speaker 2 (24:02):
Yeah, not bad.

Speaker 1 (24:03):
But Aviv you were gone for yes, six weeks, all
across the country, the globe as it were. So how
was the trip?

Speaker 2 (24:12):
The trip was great.

Speaker 3 (24:13):
I'm wondering what we need to save for the show proper,
but let's fucking go.

Speaker 1 (24:18):
That's that is up to you, because I did. I
blew through everything that I was gonna save. So I
don't know what I'm gonna say for the real show.
We didn't plan this out some sleight of hand magic.
Oh shit, it's an audio medium.

Speaker 2 (24:28):
Fuck, So yeah, you don't know what I'm typing.

Speaker 1 (24:32):
Who could say the So I went on.

Speaker 3 (24:35):
A road trip to Boston, then flew to Europe, then
flew back to Boston, and then drove back to Los Angeles,
so rapid fire. First we went to Zion National Park.
It was awesome. Next we went to Cheyenne, Wyoming. It
was empty o our car. The tire on on our

(24:57):
one of the tires on our car, the belt was slipping,
so we had to at four new tires in Cheyenne, Wyoming.

Speaker 2 (25:03):
Then we went to Omaha. Omaha was very weird.

Speaker 1 (25:06):
Oh is that where you're at the restaurant?

Speaker 2 (25:08):
Oh? Was it there?

Speaker 3 (25:09):
I went to a restaurant there was a flute player
and a tap dancer. It was nuts. After Omaha, two
days in Chicago. Chicago's great, and then drove up to
the Great White North my first time in Canada. Went
to Toronto and had a I R L SVU meet up
with Canadian correspondent Sonia Missio. Oh, okay, we had dinner.

(25:32):
She met Chubbs. Her her son Max is obsessed with
Chubbs now, and she gave me a little gift basket
of Canadian treats, which is gone now because I ate
everything in it.

Speaker 1 (25:44):
Was one of them citizenship.

Speaker 3 (25:46):
If I wish. But met her partner and her partner's brother.
It was a lovely time.

Speaker 1 (25:53):
Nice.

Speaker 3 (25:54):
I also went to an amazing thrift store in Toronto
called Public Butter, which was very cool. Then from Toronto
we went to Cape Cod to p Town, very very
popular in p Town because I I'm a bear, and
then to Boston. From Boston we flew to Dublin, which

(26:15):
is in Ireland and which is not a.

Speaker 2 (26:17):
Part of the UK.

Speaker 1 (26:19):
That part isn't at least, yes.

Speaker 3 (26:21):
That part isn't. And Dublin was very cool. You're going soon?

Speaker 1 (26:26):
Yes, Oh, I guess I'll say that for the regular Well,
I'll talk about I said, yes. While you were away,
Cassie and I decided to book a trip to Ireland
because there was some smoking deals on flights, so we're like, mah,
fuck it, why not?

Speaker 3 (26:39):
So I have some great Dublin recommendations that we can
discuss at some point.

Speaker 1 (26:44):
Were you just in Dublin or did you go around Ireland.

Speaker 3 (26:48):
We went to Howth, which is a little seaside town
just a short train right away from Dublin. We hiked
a mountain and on the top of the mountain there
was a bagpipe player.

Speaker 1 (27:00):
Just just there, just there, just lives there.

Speaker 3 (27:03):
I guess I don't know, but she was very cool
and she is like around our age. Leanne took a
video and then everyone she shows the video to Everyone's like,
I don't know you played the bagpipes and she's like,
it's not me. Then uh oh uh. We have some
live listener feedback from LeAnn O'Shea. Leanne just sent you

(27:25):
and Cassie a bunch of Dublin recommendations.

Speaker 1 (27:27):
Oh okay, I was gonna say, like, well, I'm getting
I'm getting textas, so okay, so that makes sense because.

Speaker 3 (27:32):
It's yeah, thread to but we ate spice bag, which
is excellent and is the new hot food in Dublin.

Speaker 1 (27:41):
Okay. Oh you know, I was. I read. I didn't
know what it was, but I was. I've been reading
about it's curious things.

Speaker 2 (27:48):
Okay, it's really good. And then we went to Rome.

Speaker 3 (27:53):
Rome was very hot, it was like one hundred and
five degrees and we went to the coliseum.

Speaker 2 (28:00):
We went to the Vatican. It was great. I saw
the Sistine Chapel.

Speaker 3 (28:02):
It is the most impressive piece of art paint like
painting that I've ever seen.

Speaker 2 (28:08):
It's so fucking big.

Speaker 1 (28:09):
You've been, I have, We were there. We also went
there on our honeymoon. So yeah, it's uh, it's certainly
one of those things where so many things in life
I feel like you hear about and then it never
necessarily meets the expectation.

Speaker 2 (28:25):
That does super fucking does.

Speaker 3 (28:27):
I also think the Mona Lisa does in a in
kind of a weird way, but we'll talk about that
in a second.

Speaker 1 (28:32):
Yeah, that's you could go either way on that one.
Did you did you give some some pounds to the
New American Pope while you were there.

Speaker 2 (28:38):
To get a special treatment?

Speaker 3 (28:40):
Dapped it up with Pope Leo hat shared some glizzies.

Speaker 1 (28:44):
Did you uh just get a get a Chicago dog
with him?

Speaker 3 (28:48):
I actually got a Chicago dog in Chicago at the
place that invented the like weird colored relish on hot dogs.

Speaker 1 (28:55):
Just putting anything in every like another like I feel
like Chicago hot. Actually the equivalent of if you go
to a place and get like a bloody Mary for
brunch and it comes out with like a fucking like
a ham on it, You're like, I don't understand, like
a whole ham hawk. You're like, I don't what am.

Speaker 2 (29:09):
I supposed to do? I don't understand?

Speaker 3 (29:12):
But yeah, we went to Super Dog, which is the
place that claims to have invented the Chicago Dog from.

Speaker 2 (29:17):
From Rome, we went to Venice. Venice was also very cool.

Speaker 1 (29:21):
You missed Bezos's wedding, though.

Speaker 2 (29:23):
We just missed Bezos's wedding.

Speaker 3 (29:26):
There are no cars in Venice, so the streets are
very narrow, which is kind of fun and cool. And
then from Venice we went to Gay Perry and Paris
was also awesome. We saw the Eiffel Tower. We went
to the Louver on bestial day so it was free.
We saw the Mona Lisa, overrated piece of shit as

(29:47):
the Lotle the Island says no No, The Mona Lisa
is quite quite good, and a bunch of other really
incredible paintings of the Louvers. The Louver lives up, especially
when you don't have to pay. Then we went to Berlin,
where people we're mean to us. Oh yeah, No, Berlin
was fine. It was very rainy and uh unfortunately for me.
In Paris, we happened Upont and not happened Upont. We

(30:10):
like sought out this giant outdoor flea market, okay, And
at the flea market there were some record shops and
I noticed like a very rare record that I had
been looking for was just kind of there, and so
I bought it. And then I was looking around for
an even rarer record that I'm I'm on the hunt for,

(30:32):
and it turns out that there are a bunch of
places in Paris that have it. However, they were all
closed because it was Best Deal Day weekend, and then
we left and so I was like fuck. So in Germany.
When we were in Berlin, I was like, God, we
gotta go to ten records, records, gotta go find this.

Speaker 1 (30:49):
We gotta swing through Paris on our way back.

Speaker 3 (30:51):
And so yeah, so I went to a bunch of
record stores. Berlin was very cool. We rode the trains
and buses a lot, and then from Berlin we went
to Recavec, which is another place that you have been yes,
but briefly right.

Speaker 1 (31:04):
We spent about ten days in Iceland, but we drove
the Ring Roads, so we did the whole country right on.
So we spent some time in Rickyvic but not I.

Speaker 3 (31:13):
Want to I want to compare Iceland notes with you, okay,
because you're going back, but also because I didn't remember
that you went, and I would have asked for recommendations.
But one of my former students is from Rekkavec, and
so we met up with her and she runs a
food tour in Rekavec. Oh to do hot dogs, so

(31:35):
we did hot dogs when we didn't do the food
tour because she was booked. But when we got there,
we met her at our hotel. We walked to hot
dogs and then she reached into her pocket and pulled
out a giant stack of coupons for free hot dogs,
and so we ate a lot of them for free.
Nice but yeah, but Rekavec is famous for their hot dogs.

(31:57):
We also did sky Look, which is everyone said was
better than Blue Lagoon. Did you do a lagoon?

Speaker 1 (32:04):
We did Blue Lagoon.

Speaker 3 (32:06):
Go to sky Lagoon this time it's great. And then
we hiked up to the Thermal River that were oh okay.
So so when we were going, I was like, this
is a mattin Cassie must okay. So it's about a
two mile hike up a mountain, okay. And then you

(32:26):
get to like a thermal river with like where you
can go swimming, well, you can bathe and it's very hot,
super cool. However, word to the wise, they sell little
like mosquito net facenet things at the bottom of the
in like the cafe at the bottom of the mountain.
You want one of those because there are there are

(32:47):
gnats that like feed off of the sulfur of the
hot springs, and they were so bad that walking up
the mountain we had to Leanne had to pull a
sports bra out of her bag and I pulled a
clean pair of underwear out of my bag and we
wrapped them around our faces like bedouins to to like

(33:07):
shield ourselves from the gnats the way the way down
gnat free. I have no fucking idea how it's possible,
but uh, it's on the list that Leanne sent you.
It is an awesome hike save for the gnats, and
the thermal river is very cool. We also did the
Secret Waterfall. Did you do the secret waterfall.

Speaker 1 (33:28):
We here's the thing. There are so many waterfalls all
over that fucking country.

Speaker 2 (33:31):
So we did this is the one that I don't
walk behind.

Speaker 1 (33:36):
There were a couple that we could walk by, Okay,
so that's why I'm like, uh, it might have been
the same one.

Speaker 2 (33:41):
It could have been anyone say the name of it,
but it's like, uh, we can't.

Speaker 1 (33:45):
Say the name of anything there.

Speaker 2 (33:46):
It's just like I don't know.

Speaker 1 (33:47):
It's just a can, like can I buy a fucking vowel? Right,
Like it's it's like, oh to Wikia. Try to look
at all this, like the names of things like flirg.

Speaker 2 (33:56):
And Flirk Mirkman.

Speaker 1 (33:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (33:59):
Yeah, So there's a there's a thing. It's a it's
an amazing waterfall. You can walk behind it. And then
there's like another secret waterfall in the cave.

Speaker 2 (34:07):
It's great.

Speaker 3 (34:08):
Last one we went to the ice cream place, the
famous ice cream place that also has like a crazy
name where you like and look at the cows.

Speaker 1 (34:15):
Oh, we didn't do that. We went to there's a
there's a chocolate like a chocolate tear. Like I'm not
I think it's the name of it. But you can
go to the chocolate yeah, you go to there.

Speaker 3 (34:26):
We went to a chocolate factory in Paris, oh, okay,
which was a chocolate museum, so we didn't do that.
But last thing off the very off the beaten path,
hoping that you either have been there or have not
heard about it, okay, which is the Viking restaurant.

Speaker 1 (34:45):
Don't think I also the tourism industry in Ioland it's
probably wild wild since we were there, probably which was
this was seven eight years ago at this point, might
have been not there. I don't know.

Speaker 3 (35:01):
So, uh, this is a restaurant once again, can't pronounce
the name that is like Viking themed and they have
ten different kinds of mead and they give you like
a lambshank and it's very very good, one of the
best meals we had. Obviously, everything in Iceland is super expensive. Yeah,
this one, this is the only one where I was like,
we got what we paid for.

Speaker 1 (35:22):
Okay, good to know. Yeah, there there's a couple of
places where it's just like really fucking dollars for a donut. Yeah,
I mean it's it's it's very expensive there. It's worth
the trip. By the way, did you guys do any
like whale watching or anything like that.

Speaker 3 (35:37):
We did not do any whale watching. We nope, just
watched nor watch food.

Speaker 1 (35:42):
Northern Lights though.

Speaker 3 (35:44):
No, not the right time of year. We actually were
very close to polar summer, so it didn't get dark
until about one in the morning.

Speaker 1 (35:52):
That sounds about right.

Speaker 2 (35:53):
And uh and.

Speaker 3 (35:55):
I will also say we just so happened upon a
bar called the Dylan, which is on the street that
we were staying, and Uh, Leeann and I both felt
the pull of our emo ancestors when we heard this
like kind of hardcore emo band playing in the bar.

(36:16):
It was like seven pm on a Friday. We go
in and it's a bunch of teenagers high schoolers playing
at a bar, like perfect throwback emo but original songs.
And they're called Sleish Sleish Sleish are they are?

Speaker 1 (36:35):
They available streaming anywhere they are.

Speaker 3 (36:38):
They're available on Spotify. But they were very very good
and they are a six piece teenage emo band from Recuveec.
They were very very good. But we went to we
went to a bunch of bars on that that's the
same road that we were staying. One of them was

(36:59):
a DJ and a drummer and they were just playing
kneecap and the drummer was like doing break beats and
it was amazing. Yeah, So Recac was cool. Then we
flew back to Boston. We drove down to Affiliate to
visit my folks. Uh it just so had you'll you
will understand how amazing this is. But at the Newtown Theater,

(37:19):
which is the theater close to where we grew up,
they were showing Casablanca. Okay, yeah, and had like a
whole event and both my parents were very excited to
go and they both had a very good time and
didn't complain. Wow, yeah, that's pretty amazing.

Speaker 1 (37:39):
It's a fucking Festivus miracle.

Speaker 2 (37:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (37:42):
And then we drove down to DC to visit with
my cousins and their young dog, Barkley. Chubbs and Barkley
got along very well. Not the same with Chubbs and
my parents' dog. And and then we drove from DC
to Nashville.

Speaker 2 (38:00):
Nashville sucks.

Speaker 1 (38:02):
Yeah, you texted me bad, so bad. How many bachelorette
parties did you run into.

Speaker 3 (38:08):
A bunch When we were leaving Berlin, we also ran
into a bachelorette party at the airport and they were
like in front of us in the security line and
I was gonna just I was gonna just end it
a murder, Suwie. But Nashville was kind of lame. We

(38:28):
went to a bar. They had like a couple of singers.
We went to like get dinner. There's singer songwriters at
the bar. They were very cool, but it was not
on like music Avenue on Broadway or whatever. And then
we drove down that main drag and we saw bars
either owned by or named after Kid Rock, Jelly Roll,
bon Jovi, Hank Williams, Junior, Morgan Wallen, Miranda Lambert, Luke Bryant,

(38:53):
and like it looked like Times Square. It was horrible.
They all looked brand new and and not cool. And
this is this is a very specific thing. But all
their windows are wide open, much like New Orleans, so
you can hear the music coming from the bar. But
all the drummers have the like plexiglass drum thing to

(39:15):
protect the whatever the audience, so all you could hear
was the drums like reflecting back at you. So it
was like twenty different drum beats and that's all you
heard on the fucking street. So, yeah, Nashville a skip
for me.

Speaker 1 (39:30):
Yeah, I've spent I spent a night in Nashville. But
it was when I was driving across country, it just
was that was the closest city that I could find
a hotel.

Speaker 3 (39:39):
Exactly are our situation too. But then we drove from
Nashville to Elk City, Oklahoma, which is a little little
past Omaha.

Speaker 2 (39:51):
Nope, past Oklahoma City, Okay.

Speaker 3 (39:55):
And then we drove from Elk City to flag Staff.

Speaker 2 (40:02):
Two days ago. Yeah, Oh, how'd you like?

Speaker 3 (40:05):
We were like Staff, I mean we were because we
were going to the Grand Canyon the next day.

Speaker 2 (40:09):
It was like the closest town on the way.

Speaker 1 (40:12):
To the Grand Canyonyah, closest basis.

Speaker 2 (40:15):
So yeah, so we were.

Speaker 3 (40:16):
We stayed there as like okay, we're gonna stay basically
at the Grand Canyon.

Speaker 2 (40:20):
Flag Staff was fine.

Speaker 3 (40:22):
We were in three different time zones that day, which
was wild and uh. And then yesterday woke up in Flagstaff,
went to the Grand Canyon, did a couple hikes, and
then came home.

Speaker 1 (40:33):
What was that try from the Grand Canyon home?

Speaker 2 (40:35):
Not that bad? It was like seven and a half hours.

Speaker 1 (40:37):
Oh, that's really not that bad.

Speaker 2 (40:39):
Yeah, it was.

Speaker 3 (40:40):
We Yeah, we had been averaging like ten to twelve
hours a day on the way back, so it was
easier than our normal day. And uh yeah, we made
it back at like ten o'clock last night. It fell asleep,
woke upep.

Speaker 1 (40:58):
And then decided to destroy your your all that joy
by watching.

Speaker 4 (41:03):
S for you.

Speaker 1 (41:03):
That sounds awesome, man, I'm and.

Speaker 2 (41:05):
It was super fun.

Speaker 3 (41:06):
We bought a bunch of records, a bunch of shirts,
T shirts and stuff I have. We Oh, we stopped
in Memphis for lunch a couple of days ago and
we ate at this place called Cozy Corner, which has
been a barbecue joint for like almost fifty years. And
it was so good. It was so good that I
bought a T shirt from them before I even got

(41:30):
my meal. I walked in and I was like, this
is these are my people, this is my shit.

Speaker 1 (41:33):
It's funny because Zach's family, Jenny's Jenny's husband, Yeah, grew
up in Memphis. So he's got like a spot.

Speaker 2 (41:40):
Oh I didn't know that.

Speaker 1 (41:41):
Yeah, so he's got like a spot that he goes
rendezvous I think is the name of the the Oh, yeah,
he goes that he prefers.

Speaker 3 (41:48):
We had a lot of of not not trouble, but
we we were limited because of the dog.

Speaker 1 (41:55):
Yeah, that's so. And that's kind of the thing with
the cross country road trip with the dog, because we
thought about doing that so many times too, but it's like, well,
we don't want to just leave the dog in like
a hotel room.

Speaker 3 (42:05):
For no, and we didn't do that. We didn't do
that at all. So that's good.

Speaker 1 (42:10):
So that is a that's a good encapsulation and it's
a it's a good place as Eddie to to pivot
because we don't do a lot of transition work here
to and to dive into the mail bag.

Speaker 3 (42:21):
Now, okay, so first up, first email up is from
Peggy and Peggyan writes, Hi, Matt and Avieve, have you
heard about this plagiarism suit? What do you think just
a coincidence or was there plagiarism? So, Dave Franco and
Allison Brie star in a new horror movie called Together,
which everyone loves. It has like one hundred percent of
rotten tomatoes. It's sold at sun Dance to Meon for

(42:44):
seventeen million dollars, which is pretty high. And there was
a similar script called Better Half. A lawsuit was filed
on behalf of the studio that produced or was producing
Better Half. The weird thing is that Better Half came

(43:04):
out in twenty twenty three, so it seems like the
options are that this is just a crazy coincidence that
Alison Brie and Dave Franco star in this movie together
together and it bears a striking resemblance to the plot
of Better Half, or that they somehow found and were

(43:30):
present at a screening of Better Half, and we're like,
we're gonna steal this shit.

Speaker 2 (43:33):
But much like I.

Speaker 1 (43:35):
Mean, given what happened to your friend with the Japendale's
thing and also the boy band con like.

Speaker 3 (43:42):
Very well could be my issue is and I think
that this it also extends to the Sydney Sweeney thing
that we're going to talk about in a second. Alison
Brie did not write this movie, they didn't direct this movie.
They do produce this movie, and I don't know. Once again,
we have talked about this a lot, like it's unclear

(44:03):
how significant of a role they had in producing this
movie or if they just like lent their names to it.
But every article is very splashy because they are celebrities,
and so they're like, you know, they're on the cover
of all of these they're in the pictures of all
of these headlines, as opposed to the real person who
may or may not have plagiarized, whose name is Michael Shanks.

(44:27):
He's the one who wrote and directed supposedly wrote and
directed together. The alleged copyright infringement is by Patrick Henry Fhalon,
who wrote and directed Better Half, and according to the filing,
Better Half was pitched to Alison Brien Dave Franco in

(44:48):
August twenty twenty, who rejected an offered to star in
it because they wanted to produce themselves and have WM
hire a writer to rewrite the material.

Speaker 2 (45:00):
And so you know it very.

Speaker 1 (45:02):
Well the case that's kind of damning.

Speaker 3 (45:04):
Yeah, and so it's it's pretty I mean, to prove plagiarism,
you have to prove influence and opportunity, and so you
can definitely prove opportunity and you can maybe prove influence. Obviously,
this is not going to go to trial.

Speaker 1 (45:28):
I think it's probably going to get tossed in favor
of Dave Franco.

Speaker 3 (45:32):
And or they're just going to go or they're just
going to pay out to Patrick Henry Fhalen and his
production company, Studio Fest. It's interesting because I was kind
of reading sort of strategy explainers about this, which is
that it seems like Studio Fest filed their lawsuit too early,

(45:57):
because if if you are aiming for something like this,
if if you think that you are being plagiarized in
a big movie, the best strategy is to file that
suit basically two weeks or so before the movie comes out,
because the studio that is releasing the plagiarized movie now

(46:19):
has basically no no opportunity to shelve it. And so
this lawsuit was filed in May, and the movie just
came out a couple of days ago, so we're all
kind of lucky that Neon just didn't pull the movie
from theaters. So that's that's That was an interesting take
that I didn't think of.

Speaker 1 (46:40):
Well, Neon is is riding a high though with.

Speaker 3 (46:43):
Trero and and they've had like Tiff winners for like
six years in a row or something. Neon is is
pretty big. It's it's a mini major and of course,
uh Neon co owns the Alamo Draft, so like it's
a it's a pretty big.

Speaker 1 (47:02):
Oh. So it's a vertical company, vertically integrated, got.

Speaker 3 (47:05):
It vertically integrated and they're the parent company is thirty West,
which is film production, distributed distribution in sales, and so
they have produced movies since twenty seventeen.

Speaker 2 (47:20):
So Peggy, yes, I did hear about it.

Speaker 3 (47:23):
I don't really know, because I should probably watch Better
Half to see better Better Half is like a very
very small movie, and so if I'm the Dave Franco
and Alison Brie and Michael Shanks of it all, you know,
I'm waiting for that movie to come out. I see it,
see that it doesn't do very well, and then I'm like,

(47:46):
I could do it better.

Speaker 2 (47:47):
I could do it better, and like.

Speaker 3 (47:49):
No one's gonna know because no one saw the original,
and shit like this happens all the time.

Speaker 2 (47:57):
Right, No, No, I.

Speaker 3 (47:57):
Don't think it's I don't think it's held at all though. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (48:02):
Next email is also from Peggy Ann.

Speaker 1 (48:04):
Yes, entitled Titan Submersible began right time, Matt Aviv, Please
tell me you guys have watched the new Netflix documentary
about the Titan Submersible. Here's a taste of the drama
that's revealed, and there's a link to a TikTok that
I didn't watch. All the best Peggy exet for my iPhone.
I have heard that it's good. I have not watched.

Speaker 3 (48:22):
I don't know that I ever would watch it or
have the desire to watch it. However, the TikTok. Guess
how long the TikTok is the Peggy in scent. Just
the length of it two minutes. It is nine minutes
and forty six seconds long. It's like, ain't nobody got
time for that?

Speaker 1 (48:40):
No, if anything, if I'm going to spend that much time,
I'm just gonna end up just watching the thing.

Speaker 2 (48:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (48:45):
I also think why is why is TikTok allowing ten
minute videos? But that's that's all. That's just me And
the next email, wouldn't you know? It is from Peggy An.

Speaker 1 (48:56):
Yes, so you were gone during or were you still
state side when? For the No.

Speaker 3 (49:00):
Kings I was in I was stateside, but I was
not in Los Angeles.

Speaker 2 (49:05):
Oh no, I was.

Speaker 3 (49:06):
It was my last day in Los Angeles. It actually
ruined my stand up comedy night that I was producing.

Speaker 1 (49:11):
Okay, yeah, so Peggan writes an email titled No Kings. Hi,
Matt Aviv, I know you guys have been You guys
have been recording episodes in advance for when Aviv's await
for his honeymoon. But I'm looking forward to discussing Trump's
sad birthday parade and the eleven million people telling him
he sucks. All the best Peggyan again, that feels like

(49:32):
eighteen years ago, a lifetime ago.

Speaker 3 (49:35):
Yeah, so we also missed Trump's sad birthday parade and
eleven million people telling him that he sucks.

Speaker 1 (49:40):
I went Cassai and I went to the one here King, Yes,
And it was hilarious seeing the footage of just the
squeaky tanks rolling by and no sound otherwise because no
one was at his fucking, stupid, dumb parade, and the
look of dejection on his face and everyone around him
looking like they just died in side. It's pretty fucking fantastic.

Speaker 3 (50:02):
It's interesting because uh, I I hesitate to do the
do the the scapegoat thing, the despot thing of our
enemy is both weak and strong, but like he is
so dumb, yep and so so putting brained, worm brained,
but the people around him are using his influence to uh,

(50:25):
to do really really horrible shit, and so the you know,
maybe people are realizing the king has no clothes, but
like the bigger issue is they're they're dismantling the entire
government in front of us and getting Trump to agree
to it by giving him a big birthday parade, telling
him he's a big boy, he doesn't what the bed anymore.

Speaker 1 (50:45):
Yeah, amongst other things. Although now with the FSCE thing,
I don't know this is maybe we'll we'll see how,
but I'm not a breath.

Speaker 3 (50:54):
I will say I produced a comedy night at my
friend's bar at the Roguelike Tavern in Burbank on that day,
so I couldn't go to the protest because I was
setting up for a comedy show that no one came to, and.

Speaker 2 (51:07):
So that sucked.

Speaker 3 (51:09):
Oh well, that's okay, Sorry about Trump. Yeah. Next up
is from listener Ezra.

Speaker 1 (51:17):
Yes, comedy at the Pizza Place, correct, and Ezra writes
one of the comics was Adam Connover. It was wild.
At first I thought he just looked familiar, but then
he was introduced and I was confused. I do not
know what.

Speaker 3 (51:32):
This is is a reference to I don't think it's
in reference to anything but Adam Conover. I believe Ezra
had said that one of us talks like Adam Conover
or Adam Conover reminds them of us, but I should.

Speaker 1 (51:45):
I'm not a huge Adam Connover fan.

Speaker 3 (51:47):
I like his politics. I don't necessarily like his vibe,
but I don't hate it. He's not like a Bill
Maher who I spot.

Speaker 1 (51:57):
It was just one of those things because he's like
Adam Ruins. Everything that was his neflich like it was
fine and enough, but it just yeah, it was one
of those things. It's like for me, he appeared and
then disappeared and I didn't notice any difference and never
sawt about again.

Speaker 3 (52:14):
So it's like, yeah, fine, but sure I like him.
Ezra writes in again, saying there's a cookie tin cookie
tin enamel pin by Kitchi Delish on Etsy and includes
a link to a Danish butter cookie tin with sexy
legs and you it has it has a hinge and

(52:34):
you open it up inside sewing Supplies.

Speaker 1 (52:38):
There you go. Thank you for that, Peg writes in again.
Granted this was over a six week span, but still uh.
And Pegan writes in in an email titled rawling Hi.

Speaker 3 (52:52):
I had said a few weeks ago that there's a
running theory that the reason that jk Rowling is such
a horrible turf person now anti trans like gender essentialism bullshit.
Is because her castle has black mold and it's poisoning
her brain, which is not I don't necessarily think is

(53:12):
completely true because she did name the only black character
in Harry Potter Kingsley shackle Bolt, so that stuff was
in there, you know.

Speaker 1 (53:19):
Yeah, and also just to I don't have a monopolly
of good ideas at all. But Jake spond Soon has
come out and said, like, you know what we should
start doing for for Rally is to just start dead
naming her. So don't color jkne colored Joanne.

Speaker 3 (53:39):
Some someone was just on the z Way Show saying
I don't know who Jake Rowling is.

Speaker 1 (53:44):
Yeah, like never heard of him. So Jake Rowling just
because fuck fuck Jake Rowling him. Matt aviv, I too
have thought that the black mold in Rally's castle has
affected his brain. Yeah that or he developed MS like
his mother. One symptom of MS is increased anxiety, and
his bigoted anxiety gets more and more crazy. The podcast

(54:07):
muggle Cast also has a theory that his insane wealth
has affected his brain chemistry.

Speaker 3 (54:14):
This is this is my actual theory because I think
that billions of dollars equals brain poison.

Speaker 1 (54:19):
Sure that has been scientifically proven to happen. Plus his
isolation from regular people. I think Stephen Fry is also
correct that he has been brainwashed. No matter what, he
is a completely different person from the author of the
morals and themes found in Potter. Or maybe he was
possessed by a decent soul during the Potter heydays and

(54:40):
that spirit has exercised out of her all the best.

Speaker 3 (54:42):
Peggy, and I don't actually think that Harry Potter, the
person who wrote Harry Potter, shows a different moral and
or theme than like what Joanne is espousing now, because
like Harry Potter becomes a cop, like like the the whole,
the whole point of James Potter and Lily Potter get

(55:03):
like getting it is because they bullied the kid so
bad that he became basically Hitler, and the and the
lesson isn't like, don't bully people into becoming Hitler.

Speaker 2 (55:14):
So I don't. I don't know. I know that Harry Potter.

Speaker 3 (55:17):
Means lots of people never meant that much to me,
but I don't really know how slavery is like super
cool in Harry Potter. Yeah, well, I mean exactly know
the morals that you're that you're referring to.

Speaker 1 (55:31):
Here's the thing, because it's also for the generation of
people and for as as the why is the influence
wide and deep as the influence is of that. We
are quite literally living through the themes of that book
in terms of fascist right, like fascism coming back, that's

(55:56):
what it was. And then we're sitting here watching it
happen in real life, so it definitely hits different.

Speaker 2 (56:04):
Yeah, And meanwhile JK.

Speaker 3 (56:06):
Rowling I realized that she lives in England, so she's
not that connected to the United States per se, but
is sitting there going you know, when these boys say
that they're girls so that they can compete in high
school sports, it really cheeses me off. Imagine imagine that
being the biggest worry you have. Imagine I what EASi

(56:27):
your life must.

Speaker 1 (56:28):
I was gonna say, like, I would love nothing more
than to live such a jaded existence. That that is
the thing, the number the number one thing that would
like fucking number one God right, Like, don't you have
other things to do?

Speaker 3 (56:45):
Honestly, sleep with your billions of you know what, with
your billions of dollars and world hunger, and then maybe
I will listen to you for five seconds about what
you have to say.

Speaker 1 (56:54):
Just go up into the mountains. Just don't bother anyone day,
but just go away. Honestly, what difference? What good do
you think you are doing in the world, Because even
if in your fucking mind you are protect like the
the I I have never understood this about the social

(57:17):
No just any any sort of social conservative movement across
the time. It has never worked in the long.

Speaker 2 (57:27):
One hundred failure rate go on.

Speaker 1 (57:29):
One hundred percent failure rate, just on on the timeline
you might wait in the short trip. Meanwhile, the thing
that you are trying so hard to oppress that they
will never go with. These people will always exist. You
can make it so that.

Speaker 2 (57:45):
You know there may be You just want to make
their lives a living hell.

Speaker 1 (57:48):
You are pushing it underground, but you realize there's no
making it go away at this point. So I don't
understand what.

Speaker 3 (57:58):
The trand menace is here to say stay check out
a red bubble for the trans menaces here to stay
T shirt.

Speaker 1 (58:04):
But you know what I'm saying, We're no matter what
you're doing, gay people will always exist no matter how
much you try to make it illegal or whatever like that.
Trans people will always.

Speaker 2 (58:14):
Exist and they have always existed.

Speaker 3 (58:16):
In Thailand, there's just a separate gender for trans women.
It's just like shit, that shit just happens. It's fine, Yeah,
who cares?

Speaker 1 (58:25):
Like if you if people were like, well, none of
this shit happened until the woke people, It's like, no, idiot, it's.

Speaker 2 (58:31):
Just it's open.

Speaker 1 (58:32):
Any fucking been there. It's always been there. You just
found out about it. As it turns out.

Speaker 3 (58:38):
If the Kinks song Lola can be more progressive than now,
a fifty year old song is just like you know,
Lola is great. She's bigger than me, she's stronger than me.
I love her, Like who gives the shit? Oh my god?

Speaker 1 (58:54):
Like I don't. I don't understand it, Like what what like?
What is what is your like? If you are the
person that it's like, no, this is like so you're
playing like short of Li by rounding people up and
murdering them in the town square. Which, don't get me wrong,
I think that's the direction they would love to go, right,
but like, where do you go from there?

Speaker 3 (59:17):
I think I think jo Anne would prefer to. She
just posts one more snarky she'll never be a she
because she doesn't have ovaries comment, and then all the
trans people see that and they're like, you know what,
Joe got us? You know what I never when you're right,
you're right, can't shit a shitter.

Speaker 1 (59:34):
I never sat here and actually thought about this my
own existence. Maybe I'm wrong, Like, what the fuck are
you talking about? What are any of you talking about?

Speaker 3 (59:46):
This just shows a general lack of empathy, which which
you see manifested in so many other ways with so
many other people. But like you've never stepped outside of
yourself for for long enough to be like, huh, I
wonder if someone has decided this about themselves that like,
maybe it's none of my fucking business, and maybe they
spent a lot of time and agonized over that decision
like I do about certain decisions.

Speaker 1 (01:00:07):
It's not as if they just woke up when they
were like moob trans.

Speaker 3 (01:00:10):
Which which also is part of their that's part of
their like whatever programming is that there's rapid onset gender
dysphoria where the kids are just waking up and deciding
to be trans because it's so cool.

Speaker 1 (01:00:23):
Now, Yeah, it's like, so he saw someone smoking a cigarette.
It's like, I'm gonna be trans now, Like it's not
how that fucking shit works now, it's not like you
saw some sort of like ooh, I Like they're treating
it like it's a consumerism, like you saw an ad
for being trans. You're like, you know what, or.

Speaker 3 (01:00:38):
Or and and they did the same thing with gays,
they did the same thing with communism. It's like it's
all the fucking same. It's it's a scapegoat and h
they saw that like cigarettes and.

Speaker 1 (01:00:52):
Like Joe Joe, the trans camel didn't exist. And then
like the kids are like, hey, you know would be
really cool smoking and being trans, Like.

Speaker 2 (01:00:59):
It's just his giant dick nos a is a pussy name.

Speaker 1 (01:01:02):
Wait, like I just I don't understand this ide.

Speaker 2 (01:01:04):
He looks like a vampire.

Speaker 3 (01:01:06):
That. But they also try time and time and time
again to prove that people are being rushed in the transurgeries,
that trans surgeries have a super high regret rate. Then
they come up empty hand. In every single fucking time,
gender transition surgery UH and gender firming care has less
regret a lower regret rate than knee surgery.

Speaker 1 (01:01:28):
Or fucking tattoos like and here's the.

Speaker 2 (01:01:30):
Other or tattoos like.

Speaker 1 (01:01:31):
Tattoos like the other part about this where I'm like, Okay,
So in some camps or circles are like, oh, it's
some sort of it's like a They're like it's like
a mental illness or.

Speaker 2 (01:01:41):
Something, right, brain disease.

Speaker 1 (01:01:43):
But if someone was like, oh, you have a brain disease,
the reaction to most people, even on that side, like
it's like, oh, if that person has schizophrenic, it's like, oh,
we should get them help. The reaction to these people
isn't like, well, we should help the trans people because
we think that they're mentally ill. It's like no, just
demonize them and fucking murder them.

Speaker 2 (01:02:00):
They think that that's helping.

Speaker 3 (01:02:01):
But let's say, okay, you got Grandma's gone a little crazy.
She's in her nineties and now she thinks she's the
Queen of England.

Speaker 1 (01:02:09):
Like great, who gives the gol who play along? Man?

Speaker 3 (01:02:13):
Life is long and weird and over before you know it.
Why spend your time making people feel bad about themselves?

Speaker 1 (01:02:22):
I just I don't understand. I really really don't. Again,
because like the whole whenever the fucking the whole the
the what bathrooms people can use and fucking all of
this shit. It's like, oh my god, you know, we
we would have to know that that trans woman has
to use the men's room because we have to protect

(01:02:43):
our tour. It's like, so you're basically saying, well, we
think because the argument there is like, well, they're they're
sexual predators, so we must move them from one bathroom
to the other.

Speaker 2 (01:02:51):
It's like, which is also what they did with It
makes sense.

Speaker 1 (01:02:53):
Because if you're saying that there's a then the issue
should be about protecting kids from sexual predators regardless.

Speaker 2 (01:03:01):
Which they clearly do not care about.

Speaker 3 (01:03:03):
And wait till they find out about air Wait till
they find out about bathrooms on airplanes, Wait.

Speaker 1 (01:03:07):
Till they find out that they're fucking their savior, Donald
Trump is a kidfucker, Like he's Josh pissed from this
week's episode.

Speaker 2 (01:03:15):
Oh my god, I have never been more happy that
my prediction was right.

Speaker 1 (01:03:20):
I just okay.

Speaker 2 (01:03:20):
So anyway, Peggy Ann follows up, so.

Speaker 1 (01:03:23):
Everyone's favorite topic, which we will.

Speaker 3 (01:03:27):
We're gonna get it into it a little bit later,
because this is not about the thing everyone's talking about.

Speaker 1 (01:03:32):
It's not about the eugenics. It's about genis. Yeah, because
the genes. She's got good genes. Oh, eugenis. Okay, okay,
I thought it was patented, Miss Bronncia. No, no, no, it's
it's the pun I get.

Speaker 2 (01:03:45):
I go, Oh, I got it. I didn't get it,
and now I guess.

Speaker 1 (01:03:48):
Yeah, so uh captain punishment thyah right. Entitled Sidney Sweety
Everyone's favorite topic on this podcast. Hi, mat Aviv, I'm
listening to your discussion about Sidney Sweety's soap and mass
desired to burn it all to the ground. Yep, and
I doubled down on it.

Speaker 2 (01:04:02):
It wasn't the soap exclusively, I hope.

Speaker 1 (01:04:05):
No, that that really that really pushed me to the edge.

Speaker 3 (01:04:10):
It's it's that to me, that's more like Nero fiddling.
Roome's still burning, right, you don't need to fiddle.

Speaker 1 (01:04:16):
Let's be honest. How are we to know that this
is actually made of her use? But okay, now we're
getting to the points we go. How do I know
it's real? Like I'm gonna bite this wooden?

Speaker 3 (01:04:27):

of Sydney Sweeney's DNA, and myself, I.

Speaker 1 (01:04:32):
Bet it's all at Brandon gimmick to con these pervs?

laughed about on the pod, how this is likely a
gimmick to con the pervs. Yes, it is apparently quite
successful because it sold out immediately into the resale market
just thirty thousand times whatever the highest fuck. Yes.

spooshy nectaried. Then constant Ikea ads for discounts. If you're
a nudist, want to shop at the stores Monday through Thursdays,
then you get a thirty percent discount. It's on repeat

(01:07:10):
about six times an episode. This ad has destroyed me.
But maybe I could be hearing it wrong. I bet
you are.

Speaker 1 (01:07:17):
What Ikia gives discounts to nudists.

Speaker 3 (01:07:20):

But I'm still giving him the silent treatment because of
you both and your bad influence. Lots of love, Lily,
ps hiros, Let's do the potty rose wrong. Lets thank
you Lily.

Speaker 1 (01:14:06):
Yeah. Next email is from listener Tony entitled THEO Shockingly.

Speaker 3 (01:14:12):
Okay, so we got a lot of THEO related content
because of Malcolm Jamal.

Speaker 1 (01:14:20):
I guess so that happened while you were gone. A
lot of people died while you were gone.

Speaker 3 (01:14:24):
Rip.

Speaker 2 (01:14:26):
Okay, you guys found crazy right.

Speaker 1 (01:14:29):
I'm sure someone has already informed you, but as an
official THEOS spotter, it is by said duty to inform
you that Malcolm Jamal Warner aka THEO, has died at
the age of fifty four. I saw the headline and
immediately thought of you. One because of all the mix
up over the decad the dead celebrities, and b because
the celebrity was a famous Theo. Let's raise a glass

(01:14:49):
to the most relatable Huxtable. On a lighter note, I
feel the need to clarify a few things. One, you
can only get lepardsy from an armadillo, that as leprosy.

Speaker 3 (01:15:01):
If this is your first episode, what the what?

Speaker 2 (01:15:04):
What must you be thinking? Now?

Speaker 1 (01:15:06):
Also? Why now? Why join now? Automotus episode? Uh? Just
like I was always trying to explain to my grandma,
Rabpasa can only give you worms if there are worms
or their eggs in your pasta. Okay, okay, cool, sure,
but pasta when it's cooked looks like worms. It sure

(01:15:28):
can depends on the past I suppose no dogs were
involved in either Suzanne Brockman's Over the Edge nor Jessica
Kain's Husky Unbelievable. The people depicted in the book the people's.

Speaker 3 (01:15:41):
Remember what I said, they were on miture. Their giant
bricks miniature.

Speaker 1 (01:15:44):
Yeah, depicted in book one were shown in the distance,
not shrunk to.

Speaker 2 (01:15:48):
Miniature correct perspective.

Speaker 1 (01:15:50):
Uh and Dawes. The husky man in question from book
two was in fact a bar owner operator, hence the whiskey.
Jessica Kain had a whole series feed during Plus Sized Men,
of which Husky was my favorite, as it largely avoided
the daddy overtones of the other books. I am more
embarrassed to admit I've read her books than I am
to admit I've read books where a woman does it

(01:16:13):
with a door. I want to recommend Strange Beard by
Penny Breed. That's where I learned the armadillo effect. Kletus
is the best. He is sneaky in the best way.
Tata for now.

Speaker 3 (01:16:24):
THEO, thanks, thank you, and UH THEO super fanly Oxeth
writes in again says farewell to THEO. Hi, guys, I
just saw that Malcolm Jamal Warner, who played THEO Huxtable
on The Cosby Show, died today drowning on holiday in
Costa Rica. I feel we should all give a shout
out to him and put to rest the THEO joke.

Speaker 2 (01:16:46):
Now no chance granted with him.

Speaker 3 (01:16:51):
Yeah, and it's all about Van goes Dufe, his brother,
But he was the THEO I always loved growing up.
He was a very good actor and had a number
of stints in lawn or SVU. It is a sad
day to THEO. Hope you both are well, Lily, to THEO.

Speaker 1 (01:17:08):
To THEO all right. Next email is from Peggy an
entitled meme and says, Hi, Matt Vive, have you seen
this SVU meme? All the best pagan And it is
a picture of Maloney and Briska Hargana looking like they
are about to kiss.

Speaker 3 (01:17:27):
They look like they're whispering to each other. To be
completely honest, well, we all know that Marushka whispers.

Speaker 1 (01:17:35):
That is true quite extensively. And there is a I
guess a tweet where someone it says, at Chris Maloney,
for fuck's sake, kiss her already, and Maloney responded with saying,
I'm fucking trying, So there you go.

Speaker 3 (01:17:49):
Yeah, speaking of daddy issues per our previous email, Maloney
really really knows that he is the Internet's daddy.

Speaker 2 (01:17:59):
Yes, okay, So.

Speaker 3 (01:18:03):
I'm gonna talk a little bit about this on the
episode Proper Too. But we got an email from Peggyan saying,
blow up his head. Hi, Matt and Evive, I really
hope Aviv gets to blow up Dean Kane's head in
his movie. I Love this New Superman. The irony is
I think Dean Kane was the first Superman I was
introduced to and loved watching Lois and Clark as a child.

(01:18:25):
I'll do you one better now. He is far from
the man he portrayed and clearly forgets the themes and
morals touched on the show. Is again with the forgetting
the themes and morals.

Speaker 1 (01:18:35):
No one, no one has forgotten. You have to realize
that people just don't act in good faith. You are
being lied to.

Speaker 3 (01:18:45):
So this uh Peggyan links to a Variety article, say
which is the headline? Dean Kane is still flying high
Lois and Clark. Hearthrob tells all and supporting Trump, opposing
woke Superman, and overcoming sexual harassment. So Dean kin is
one of the few conservative celebrities. I use celebrities with

(01:19:06):
an asterisk when describing Dean Kane because he hasn't been
relevant in about thirty years. He's still pretty handsome and Dean,
if you're listening, your head will explode, blow right up there.
And so because he is the conservative celebrity that is
closest related to Superman, because he was Superman.

Speaker 2 (01:19:26):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (01:19:26):
He said that he went on Pierce Morgan and said
that this new version of Superman is too woke cool.

Speaker 2 (01:19:35):
You know.

Speaker 1 (01:19:36):
The thing that just is I have to just say,
just chef's kiss is the fact that these this movement,
these people you know who else is too woke, that
people have like rebelled against Jesus, Jesus, Jesus Christ. The guy,
the guy with the teas that he's up there on

(01:19:59):
the tee, that one too fucking.

Speaker 2 (01:20:01):
Woke to fucking woke in a church.

Speaker 1 (01:20:04):
Someone is sitting there being like yan conservatism, but that
fucking guy look at him. Oh just up on that
cross crying like a little snowflake.

Speaker 2 (01:20:13):
Bitch feet it feeding.

Speaker 1 (01:20:15):
Oh no, those fucking thorns, hurt, shut the fuck up, snowflake.

Speaker 2 (01:20:19):
Get lin and and this is interesting because there is
a lot of the of course, any Republicans only make
headlines by like hurting people or complaining about stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:20:33):
And so don't forget the persecution they're being persecuted for.
They're being persecuted, right, get them vast majority.

Speaker 3 (01:20:40):
So the new Superman because Superman like saves people and
is a refugee from a world that blows up, two
things that are pretty integral to the character. They're like, woke,
this is about me, isn't it.

Speaker 1 (01:20:55):
Ye. By the way, I heard a quote cass he
told me this. It was somewhere online that she's maybe
she came up with it, but she was like the
conservatives they didn't they didn't want a Superman movie. They
wanted a Homelander movie.

Speaker 2 (01:21:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:21:08):
Yeah, they don't understand that Homelander is the bad guy, right.

Speaker 1 (01:21:12):
Like they've only recently woken up to the fact that
it's like, oh, yes, we're making fun of you. It's like, yeah,
you want the Superman that's a racist, bigoted ass like you.

Speaker 3 (01:21:22):
That's that's what you want. The interesting thing is Dean
Kane is I think half Vietnamese, and so when he
was cast as Superman, people referred to that as woke
his gift.

Speaker 1 (01:21:39):
We've been doing this for decades, guys.

Speaker 3 (01:21:41):
He is he is Japanese. I apologize his given name
is Tanaka. And so when when he was cast as
Superman in Act ninety three, someone said, quote, we wanted Superman,
not Sushi Man.

Speaker 1 (01:21:57):
My guy, it's terrible, but I mean it's kind of funny,
pretty good in the way that you know these jokes are.

Speaker 3 (01:22:05):
Idiot, yes, and like when it's lobbed at him, who
would make this joke now?

Speaker 2 (01:22:11):
Anyway?

Speaker 3 (01:22:11):
Uh, this is a pretty long profile on Dean Kine,
about his friendship with Trump, about his friendship with Charlie
Sheen by doom, Yes, and so so a couple of things,
a couple. I have so much, so much to talk
about with.

Speaker 1 (01:22:30):
This, so much and so little at EXECS because it's like,
what more do you have to say? What can be said?

Speaker 3 (01:22:36):
Peggy Ann mentioned that this was her first Superman, first
Superman that she was introduced to mine as well, not
only mine as well, and not only that the first
script I ever wrote. I may have said this on
the podcast before, was a spec script. I didn't know
that that was what it was called of, like an
episode that I wished existed fan fiction spec script of

(01:22:59):
Lowe and Clark the New Adventures of Superman that I
dictated to my mother and that she typed on her
word processor.

Speaker 1 (01:23:05):
I did not know that.

Speaker 3 (01:23:07):
I was like nine, I think, okay, so I was
always that guy, Well.

Speaker 1 (01:23:12):
You wrote a spec script where all the Superman's heads will.

Speaker 2 (01:23:16):
Explode much later, much later in my life, right, yeah, my.

Speaker 1 (01:23:20):
First because I thought were gonna say, like, oh, that
that thing where all the Superman's head explodes, Like, oh,
that's like a spec script for like an X Files
episode where it's like Molder, it's all the people that played.

Speaker 3 (01:23:31):
My first two scripts I ever wrote was that and
a uh revision of the final episode of Seinfeld when
I was like five, What does.

Speaker 1 (01:23:41):
What does the gang get into in the revised finale?

Speaker 3 (01:23:45):
I don't remember. My mom probably still has it. If
I finally don't remember, take.

Speaker 1 (01:23:51):
That ship the fuck up? I want to know, because
here's the thing, given how Seinfeld actually ended, I'm sure
your version is ten times better.

Speaker 3 (01:23:58):
That's well, that was the like everyone was disappointed, and
I was like I could do better.

Speaker 2 (01:24:03):
I'm twelve.

Speaker 3 (01:24:05):
Oh no, it was that the Courier Times had a
the Bucks County game.

Speaker 1 (01:24:10):
I'm that's barely a publication.

Speaker 3 (01:24:12):
Had a story about how everyone hated the finale of Seinfeld,
and then was like, we're going to do a competition
that you turn in your best script for the alternative
ending of Seinfeld. But it's limited to two hundred and
fifty words. And so I started writing it, and I

(01:24:34):
was like two hundred and fifty words, and then I
wrote a letter to the Courier Times being like that's
not enough words, and then I just kept writing the episode.
But the other thing about this Variety article, that's like
deep a eve lord, you may match my freak, but
you don't know my lore.

Speaker 2 (01:24:50):
The other thing.

Speaker 3 (01:24:50):
About this Variety article is kind of at random, I
picked a paragraph about this Dean Kine thing, and I'm
gonna I'm gonna read this quote from the Variety article
and and sort of as an explainer to maybe how
we got here as a country quote, Dean Kane is

(01:25:12):
a bit of something, is something of a cultural zelig.
He deflowered fellow Princetonian Brooks Shields, whom he dated for
four and a half years at a time when she
was arguably the most recognizable woman in the world and
the press obsessed over her virginity. Guys, what the fuck
are you doing? How is this a sentence that you
think is okay to publish?

Speaker 1 (01:25:34):
Well? Moving on, it's I like because because Dean was
talking about it.

Speaker 2 (01:25:41):
I guess sure, Dean, and this is where his star is.

Speaker 3 (01:25:46):
As you know, I fucked Brooks Shields.

Speaker 1 (01:25:49):
Back when everyone was obsessed with her virginity. I took
that ship. It's like, Wow, you're a just fucking just a.

Speaker 3 (01:25:57):
Piece of shit. Meanwhile, Pamela Anderson is now de d
Leamy Sin, which I think is.

Speaker 1 (01:26:02):
I am very excited. I'm not going to go see
it in theaters, but I'm very excited for the.

Speaker 2 (01:26:06):
New Oh and they supposedly really good.

Speaker 1 (01:26:08):
That's what I've heard. That's what i've heard of.

Speaker 3 (01:26:10):
I'm going to go see it probably sometime this week,
going to go see uh thank you gun.

Speaker 1 (01:26:17):
So.

Speaker 3 (01:26:17):
Yeah, at a time when when the press obsessed over
her virginity. You mean now you're still talking about her
virginity thirty five forty years later, which.

Speaker 1 (01:26:28):
By the way, the virgidity that ship, as it turns out,
has sailed, so I don't know why we're still talking
about it.

Speaker 3 (01:26:33):
Yeah, so, Dean Kine is kind of a piece of shit.
That writer from a variety kind of a piece of
shit for putting that in there the end.

Speaker 1 (01:26:43):
Next next, Lily has a follow up, Yes, just request
quest or e Fraser one for Matt. Just wondering if
at some point you'd mind going to see Marty's chair
and take a picture to send to me and John
Mahoney was one of the greats. Fraser my favorite show
of all time. And I'm not sure when I'll get
back stateside. Please, And she sends me, I guess the

(01:27:05):
actual chair from the TV show Fraser is at the
Museum of History and Industry in Seattle, Washington. I don't
know where that is, but I would, I can. I
can probably make that happen.

Speaker 2 (01:27:15):
Yeah, you also you're a Fraser head. Yes, to do it.

Speaker 1 (01:27:18):
We rewatched that show probably in its entirety at least
once a year.

Speaker 3 (01:27:23):
I will say that this this email has three different
fonts and three different text collars.

Speaker 1 (01:27:28):
Yes it does.

Speaker 3 (01:27:31):
And last, lastly, but not leastly from Eugenics, Eugenics super
fan Lily Oxeth Lily writes, Matt's Matt loves Sydney Sweeney.

Speaker 1 (01:27:44):
Everyone knows this and denies this.

Speaker 3 (01:27:47):
I fear I won't get a pick of Martin's chair
because Matt might have booped himself into the Grand Canyon
before we were all meant to meet, after we got
a whiff of the stupidity of this Jeans and Sydney
Sweeney garbage. Is this a ploy of the Nothing Comes?

Speaker 2 (01:28:02):
If?

Speaker 3 (01:28:03):
Is this a ploy? I think she means play? Is
this a play on the Nothing Comes between Me and
my Calvins in the eighties? So yes? Also, do you
know who starred in that Nothing Comes between Me and
my Calvins? Ad fucking Shields?

Speaker 1 (01:28:17):
Full circle?

Speaker 3 (01:28:18):
And like yes, and also like we we are doing this.
I'm not like a Sydney super fan, but we are
doing to her what we did to Brooks Shields. She
didn't write the copy of the fucking commercial.

Speaker 1 (01:28:32):
Well no, But she also could have been like, you.

Speaker 2 (01:28:34):
Know what, well, okay, because I have half a.

Speaker 1 (01:28:37):
Fucking brain in my head, I can and knowing what.

Speaker 2 (01:28:40):
I'm losing the plant.

Speaker 3 (01:28:42):
On another note, Discovery Plus has already done a documentary
on Blake Lively and Justin bal Baldanini whatever his name
is that Gareth wants to watch.

Speaker 2 (01:28:53):
Please don't.

Speaker 3 (01:28:54):
I now have to take the train for an hour
and a half three changes to get there from Putney,
then to then get to a seaside in Brighton to
walk to the sea and drown myself, signed Lily. Okay,
So Matt, I'm sure your take on Sidney Sweeney is to,
I don't know, round her up and shoot her in

(01:29:14):
the back of the head or something that's.

Speaker 1 (01:29:16):
For a lot of people generally speaking, and back of
the head. No, no, no, I want her to see
it coming.

Speaker 3 (01:29:22):
So Sidney Sweeney for future posterity. Sidney Sweeney was in
an ad for the Gap Gap American Eagle. Oh yeah,
American Eagle that says Sidney Sweeney's got a G AND's
ge a n s. And so there are a couple
of things that are currently happening.

Speaker 2 (01:29:40):
Thing one is.

Speaker 3 (01:29:41):
People are like, hey man, when when there are Nazis
coming back and the president is like, very loudly speaking
about actually eugenics, maybe don't do that, Like it's like
give it, maybe you don't do that.

Speaker 1 (01:29:53):
Given the ariyan look of one Sydney Sweeney and the
fact that the the mega right has already done this.

Speaker 3 (01:30:02):
And letched avatar, right, Okay, So so that's that's thing one,
and I think that that is valid. And then thing
two is that the Republican outrage machine that, as Matt said, uh,
just constantly is looking for places to classify themselves as
the victim, is saying the left is in a tizzy

(01:30:25):
because all the Democrats are like, don't say that Sidney
Sweeney is hot, because it's not woke. You gotta say
that they them is body positive brown. And so very
clearly no one's doing that. There are just a few
people online that are like, hey, this is kind of
fucked up. This isn't the Democrats, this isn't the d

(01:30:47):
n C putting out an APB. Did it, did Sidney
Sweeney's cancel? It's not actually happening. There are just some
people who are upset because this ad maybe seems like
it's advocating for eugenics.

Speaker 1 (01:31:00):
Yeah, and again, if they had, if a certain faction
of the conservative movement, the far faction in terms of
the far right, the what would have been far right
now ye, center for them exactly has already kind of
done this and been like Sidney Sweetey is our Aryan queen, right,

(01:31:25):
like they've already did we we've done that, so to
then do this ad to but to the point that
people were like, oh, we're just some digging. Apparently she's
a she's registered as a Republican in Florida. I'm like,
this is going way too far. There's a lot of
reasons to hate Sidney Sweetey, don't get I.

Speaker 2 (01:31:48):
Don't think that this is one of them.

Speaker 3 (01:31:50):
She didn't write the copy, but she I mean she
maybe she okayed it, maybe she okayed it, but like I.

Speaker 1 (01:31:58):
You're not you're not here being like you do know
that people like again because it's already been foisted upon her,
so like you can't claim ignorance.

Speaker 3 (01:32:08):
If so, if it were me, if if I got
transported into the body of Sidney Sweeney, first of all,
you've never see me again. Second of all, if it's
me and I'm a good person and this happens sort
of without my knowledge or ability to stop it, because like,
you know, this is a company. They can I don't

(01:32:28):
think in their contract They're like, oh, Sidney gets approval
of the copy. Like I think that it's just like
it's gone right, if it's me, and this happens, I
come out immediately and make a statement like I didn't
know about what they were gonna say. I do not
advocate for eugenics, you know, I believe everyone is worthy
of being alive on this planet or whatever.

Speaker 2 (01:32:48):
The fuck?

Speaker 1 (01:32:49):
Do you know what she didn't do.

Speaker 3 (01:32:51):
She didn't do that any of that. Basically, it's just
a it's just a boob joke. It's just like, isn't
Sidney Sweeney hot? She's hot in our genes.

Speaker 1 (01:33:00):
Even removing like the eugenics aspect of it correct again,
just being like, does anyone take this girl seriously? Does
she take herself seriously?

Speaker 3 (01:33:09):
I truly think that she's just cashing in. She's and
she said this, She's like this body in this face
is only going to last a certain amount of time,
which is got to be able to wait.

Speaker 1 (01:33:19):
The amount of work she's probably already had done.

Speaker 2 (01:33:22):
A I don't want to speculate on that.

Speaker 1 (01:33:24):
I mean only in the way that literally seemingly everyone
in Hollywood has at this.

Speaker 2 (01:33:29):
Point, sure Google fad and the whatever.

Speaker 1 (01:33:31):
Right, so like, let's let's not shop a shit her
here about this, Like come on, so.

Speaker 3 (01:33:36):
It is something like doing ads like this when she's fifty,
because because we hate old women in this country, in
middle aged women in this country.

Speaker 2 (01:33:43):
I sure Julie Delpy is.

Speaker 3 (01:33:46):
Like nothing gets between me and Mike calvinc No, but
like I don't know why she was German.

Speaker 1 (01:33:50):
That was his choice. But to also say that like, oh,
like this is all gonna go away in like a
year is disgenuous. If she's like, well, I gotta get
it now because I can't do it when I'm fifty,
It's like, dude, you're like in your twenties, You've got
some time.

Speaker 2 (01:34:04):
If she is in her twenties, yes, yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:34:05):
So so I'll say at the at the most generous reaction,
my most generous take is she is doing a Republicans
by Sneakers too sort of thing.

Speaker 1 (01:34:16):
Sure.

Speaker 3 (01:34:17):
My least generous take is she believes in eugenics, so
you know, it's probably somewhere within that scale. And uh
And I was reminded of and replied to you with
this this thing that I wanted to read. And this
is from Brooks otter Lake from nine years ago on Twitter,
and Brooks writes, a lot of the Internet is ten

(01:34:40):
thousand people bullying someone who deserves to be bullied by
maybe one to three people, which I think is basically correct.
Two things can mut youre at the same time, three
things canmuture at the same time. Even that ad sucks.
That's not good. There is not a coordinated response to
the from the left or the Democrats being like Sidney Sweeney,

(01:35:04):
we're gonna burn her at the stake. And also like,
it's interesting that obviously people get outraged when women do
things a little bit more than when men do things.
But we had tonight's episode see tonight's episode.

Speaker 1 (01:35:21):
Four years huh huh, interesting.

Speaker 2 (01:35:24):
Four years.

Speaker 3 (01:35:26):
But we also have like kind of this misplaced rage,
like similarly to the James Franco Alison breathing where we're like,
they didn't write the movie, Sidney didn't write the copy,
but like because she it's her picture, we like all
of the rages no direct.

Speaker 1 (01:35:48):
So this is why I'm gonna we're gonna get in
a podcast fight here, because you know as well as
I do, because we talked about this on this show
where and if not, we've talked about this online or offline.

Speaker 2 (01:35:59):
Is the reason I'm not anything offline.

Speaker 1 (01:36:02):
That's true.

Speaker 2 (01:36:03):
My life is online.

Speaker 1 (01:36:04):
It's very true. We live in pixels. God, this is
the reason I'm gonna push back on this is because
you know as well as I do, especially for the
younger generations and everything today. You you a Vive Rubinstein.
You are not a person anymore. Our brand, I apparently
no one is anything anymore if not just a brand,

(01:36:24):
because we all have to be shilling something to make money.
Because this is hell and which which is why I
said before, if I'm Sydney, I protect my brand by
being like I did not.

Speaker 2 (01:36:36):
I did not.

Speaker 1 (01:36:37):
But this is why bullshit like, oh, you keep saying, well,
she didn't write the copy, like they didn't just say
show up, We're gonna take some pictures and not tell
you anything about what's gonna happen here. Bullshit, that is
not how this works. You know that she knew what
the fuck because she had to read the copy, so.

Speaker 3 (01:36:54):
We're reading it. No, she she Why did she have
to read the This isn't a commercial? Is this?

Speaker 2 (01:37:00):
Wait?

Speaker 1 (01:37:01):
What? There is a video?

Speaker 2 (01:37:03):
Oh no, I didn't know that. I thought it was just.

Speaker 1 (01:37:05):
Pretty an idiot. There's an actual thing where she's like,
jeans you cant come from your parents. She's got just those.

Speaker 2 (01:37:12):
Oh god, I'm watching it now I'm watching it now.

Speaker 1 (01:37:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:37:17):
Oh no, yeah, Sidney, what are you doing?

Speaker 1 (01:37:20):
Thank you?

Speaker 3 (01:37:21):
I didn't know that. I because I've been traveling. I've
only seen the print ad.

Speaker 1 (01:37:26):
Oh yeah, no, there's a is no So.

Speaker 3 (01:37:33):
Okay, I'm gonna I'm gonna revise my statement. There is
a very very very very very small possibility that they
changed the voiceover after she shot the commercial.

Speaker 2 (01:37:46):
I don't. I don't think that that's the case.

Speaker 1 (01:37:49):
Wow, you are just spending over backwards.

Speaker 3 (01:37:52):
I said, I don't. I said, I don't think it's
the case. So yeah, so she is extremely complicit in this,
which sucks. And I, uh, I don't.

Speaker 1 (01:38:01):
Apologize all the people that you've hurt by taking the
position that you did that Sidney Sweetey has done nothing wrong.

Speaker 2 (01:38:07):
Just I didn't say that she did nothing wrong. May
I may have.

Speaker 1 (01:38:10):
She has no control over her own words or actions,
or pictures or or anything.

Speaker 3 (01:38:16):
I didn't realize because all I saw was the picture
and it says Sidney sween is great gene, and I
was like, who cares about this? The commercial, on the
other hand, is not not not fabulous. It's also like
once again it's.

Speaker 1 (01:38:32):
A boat joke of like, hey, Jesus Christ.

Speaker 3 (01:38:36):
And the the issue is not that this commercial itself
is calling for the extermination of all brown people or whatever,
but it is it is a little bit of a
dog whistle, especially considering.

Speaker 2 (01:38:51):
Little, just a little.

Speaker 1 (01:38:52):
I think it's less of a dog whistle, just like
a regular whistle.

Speaker 3 (01:38:57):
It's a whistle toward the people who are in it.
It's like a The only way this works as a
joke is other than the boob thing that the second
entendre is like, isn't it hilarious that we're that we're
doing eugenics?

Speaker 1 (01:39:12):
So and this is the other part of us where
I'm like just from the American eagle perspective. So you
know who is do you know who? Sidney Sweet is
probably the most popular with boys, boys, men creeps that type.

Speaker 2 (01:39:26):
Shit, boys, men, creeps, the three demos.

Speaker 1 (01:39:30):
Yeah, you know what her key demographic is not is
young women.

Speaker 3 (01:39:35):
That's not true that there there there is a lot
of there are a lot of young women.

Speaker 1 (01:39:40):
If the boob joke, you think that's for the girls,
that's for the ladies.

Speaker 2 (01:39:44):
That's what I'm saying, right, is like the first So that's.

Speaker 1 (01:39:47):
Gonna send so many boys out to buy American Eagle
fucking jeans.

Speaker 3 (01:39:51):
This is this is my point, right, It's like it
is it is selling two things at once because in
the commercials she's saying like, these are the most comfortable genes.

Speaker 2 (01:39:58):
They make your butt look good.

Speaker 3 (01:39:59):
The that's all toward women, obviously, because they're the ones
that are gonna be wearing these jeans.

Speaker 2 (01:40:04):
Buy and large, and then it's like.

Speaker 1 (01:40:07):
Tits, little something for the fellas.

Speaker 2 (01:40:10):
Little something for the fellas.

Speaker 3 (01:40:12):
You know how your lady loves shopping, Buy your lady
these jeans and shall have tits like Sidney sweety.

Speaker 1 (01:40:17):
But I would think if the point of this is
to sell to women, sell jeans to women.

Speaker 2 (01:40:24):
Absolutely on paper, it absolutely is.

Speaker 1 (01:40:27):
You know what's traditionally not great is being like, hey,
I'm Sydney Sweetey, this fucking perfect hour laced glass shaped
woman with these It's like, wouldn't you want to highlight
I don't know. American Iigle apparently has a very diverse
offering of sizes and stuff for jeans, like very inclusive,
and you're not selling that. Instead, you're like, here's this

(01:40:50):
Barbie doll with the like you what that's how is this?
How how is this supposed to sell jeans.

Speaker 3 (01:40:57):
So this is a bigger question for like about the industry,
right because low rise jeans, heroin chic, that that's all
coming back, sure, and we're we're body shaming again. It's cool,
it's fine, And so I think that that is like
kind of an industry question. I will say definitively, Sidney
Sweeney is not choosing how the fashion industry operates. No,

(01:41:20):
but I think ultimately if you zoom out, if we were,
let's say in nineteen ninety five, and who is the
Sydney of nineteen ninety win on a rider, no bad example,
who is the blonde hot because when on a writer's Jewish,
who's the blonde hot girl from the nineties?

Speaker 1 (01:41:41):
Uh h, god, Jenny.

Speaker 3 (01:41:44):
Garth, Jenny Garth early nineties and Jenny Garth. It's like
first Clinton administration. Jenny Garth's like in an ad commercial
for I don't know if American eagle existed, but whatever,
leave eyes.

Speaker 1 (01:41:56):
I was surprised that to find out that American eagles still.

Speaker 3 (01:41:59):
Existed actually me fucking too. I mean, but that that
also might be part of it. Is like they know
that this is going to be sort of a viral
catchy ad. They're like, they're like hoping for some of
these outrage clicks. But Jenny Garth, it's it's the first
Clinton administration. We're post racial, Clarence Thomas is on the
Supreme Court sexually harassing people right and left and center.

(01:42:20):
And Jenny Garth's like, I have great gens. This is
these are my great genes. That's the ad campaign. I
don't think we would be having the same reaction.

Speaker 1 (01:42:29):
We look at they already we literally already did this
ad like it's a it's.

Speaker 3 (01:42:33):
A yeah, nothing gets between me and my counts. Yeah.
So but that's the point. The point is like it's
not because of the ad itself, because I know a
lot of people who are like, god, get over it whatever,
it's like just an ad. It's because of the climate
in which we are in and the dog it is
whistling too.

Speaker 1 (01:42:52):
Literally, even if it was a fucking brunette.

Speaker 2 (01:42:55):
Yes, this ad is, you could do.

Speaker 1 (01:42:57):
The exact same thing if you did this with fuck
I don't even if you did this with Shadow or
Tega if yeah, like with literally anyone else.

Speaker 2 (01:43:07):
Yeah, yeah it is. It is.

Speaker 3 (01:43:08):
It is just the then diagram of wrong place, wrong
political tie climate, wrong, actor, wrong, time, wrong, wrong, center, wrong, wrong, wrong,
and wrong.

Speaker 1 (01:43:21):
It's the nexus of so many things.

Speaker 3 (01:43:24):
Wrong and a failing company that is looking for clicks
at any cost.

Speaker 1 (01:43:31):
Right, and it's fucking like there's it's literally this was
a stock spike thing. There's stock went up and then
it for like a day and then it dropped well
below what everyone was like.

Speaker 3 (01:43:40):
So so look at the pump and dump. Look who
makes the money?

Speaker 1 (01:43:44):
Follow the quiboto like follow, yeah, really it's.

Speaker 2 (01:43:48):
Yeah, who benefits?

Speaker 1 (01:43:50):
So that's.

Speaker 2 (01:43:52):
That's all the excuse me.

Speaker 1 (01:43:54):
Good mail, we have good Lord, we.

Speaker 2 (01:43:57):
Have Yeah, you said we didn't have a lot too,
so we have some.

Speaker 1 (01:44:01):
For as long as we were off, I thought we
were going to have more.

Speaker 3 (01:44:05):
From my personal correspondence, first, for some reason, there are
a couple of people shared with us a meme from Instagram,
So I get why they sent it to me on
Instagram of Marishka and Kelly Giddish doing well just watch.

(01:44:28):
So there was a meme that kind of floated around
a few weeks ago that was like people black people,
because this is a case of stolen culture dancing doing
like a fun choreographed dance to the law and order
SVU theme, and so the official NBC Law and Order
Instagram posted Marishka and Kelly Giddish doing the same dance. Cool,

(01:44:56):
not that offensive, not offensive at all. Really, credit the
original creators and we're good. So that was that was
forwarded to me by a handful of people, and also
Rose sent us the original one, which I can send
to you. How y'all made a line dance for Law
and Order? Yeah, so yeah, uh listener, Judge ass Rose

(01:45:18):
a k A Miss Rosemary n y c a k
A a k a k A Judge the ass Rods says,
so much confusion on the pod, and yet I can't
this is about our last episode. Was so much confusion
on the pod, and yet I can't be judgy and
correct it because you recorded weeks ago and there's no
point my wings have been clipped.

Speaker 1 (01:45:37):
What what was? I don't what was?

Speaker 3 (01:45:39):
We were confused about the Chicago crossovers in the last
episode that we did with Greg Yates and how they
escaped from prison and you like went back to Chicago,
Rose writes, ps, cutting Matt off Lively's rant to plug
your own project king Ship. So, Matt, did you listen

(01:46:01):
to our last episode?

Speaker 1 (01:46:02):
No?

Speaker 3 (01:46:02):
I did not, So in the middle of your and
I have to stress fifteen minute Blake Lively justin Baldoni Ran,
I just sort of faded you out and talked about
a project that I was working on, which is that
I'm a part of a found footage horror series called
Final Transmissions, and we did an Indiegogo that ends today

(01:46:24):
and just just hit our funding goal. And I didn't
want to plug it every week, so I just plugged
it last week and found a slot to slider right
in there.

Speaker 2 (01:46:33):
No one would notice I did.

Speaker 1 (01:46:34):
So you know what, you should blame Rose for bringing
this to my attention.

Speaker 3 (01:46:38):
Yeah, now you're gonna fucking check all my edits yep.
And in a segment we like to call I just
blew myself.

Speaker 4 (01:46:45):
I'm afraid I just blew myself.

Speaker 2 (01:46:49):
Knew a couple of couple of blue Scott.

Speaker 1 (01:46:51):
Oh right, the blue ski.

Speaker 3 (01:46:54):
So from a sec of God. In a segment we
like to call I just blew myself.

Speaker 4 (01:46:59):
I'm afraid I just blew myself.

Speaker 1 (01:47:03):
It's got to be a better way to say that.

Speaker 3 (01:47:06):
The Romans read along podcast as I present, Oh no,
we did this, weig just from a segment of the week.

Speaker 4 (01:47:15):
Like afraid, I just blew myself.

Speaker 3 (01:47:19):
Just ed bad, got to be a fool. No Fulberto,
no Fulberto rights, Oh fuck we are on an island.
Oh fuck, we're on an island. Because Carl at Sad
Trombone Noises rites on Blue Sky, it needs to be
pointed out. As someone who has been to actions up
to it, including the uprising here in twenty twenty, I

(01:47:41):
have never seen every officer wearing fake name badges with
names like the Others instead of their actual name. And
so an ATF agent in one of these, at one
of these protests to like quell the rebellion, has their
name badge on their on their chest and it just
says the other and so Filberto says, Oh fuck, we're

(01:48:03):
on an island. Listener Judges rosek Miss Rosemary nyc aka
ak aka the People says, Oh really, People Magazine. My
dad's been making this joke for twenty years, but at
least he's actually kidding includes a People magazine and screenshot
and the photo credit says Maurushka Hargitay is supported by

(01:48:23):
her Law and Order SUV co star Christopher Maloney at
the premiere of her documentary film My Mom Jane, a
film by Mariushka Hargita. Yes, so whoops, Suv. I also
didn't notice, and I asked Rose to point it out
to me. I said, I don't understand the joke, and
she said, read the title of the show.

Speaker 2 (01:48:43):
Listener.

Speaker 3 (01:48:43):
Ezra says, I started listening to another podcast recently, Jealous,
and one of the co hosts does full episodes on
Colombo recaps, ooh is the is the the name of
the show?

Speaker 2 (01:48:56):
Just one one thing?

Speaker 1 (01:48:57):
Because if it's not, why why is it? That's unacceptable.

Speaker 3 (01:49:01):
We also said, for some reason, whose phone pass code
spells a word? Because I think someone on the show
is like, oh.

Speaker 1 (01:49:10):
My my, oh yeah, like my past.

Speaker 3 (01:49:13):
Phone password is nick or whatever. Ezra says, my phone
pass code spells a word. Actually, Ezra, my phone password
also spells a word. From season seventeen, episode ten, when
I thought when I saw assistant Da Kenneth O'Dwyer's assistant
was a child, Rose writes in a screenshot from Severn

(01:49:36):
season two, with Bob Balaban raising his hand and saying,
why are you a child? Ezra writes in about Colombo again,
basically saying the same thing. I'm watching Colombo because of
Aaron on Attitudes Pod, and all I can think of
is you guys, and all of the discussions.

Speaker 2 (01:49:53):
Of Colombo on the show, just over the years.

Speaker 3 (01:49:56):
Just one more thing, Fulberto sends us a a New
York Times pitch bot tweet bleat. Do you know what
the New York Times pitch bot is? No, it's like
a fake. It's a parody account of someone tweeting out
onion style headlines like the New York Times might publish.

(01:50:18):
Like one example would be like do the Gossins have
too much food?

Speaker 1 (01:50:23):
Gotcha? So it's like bullshit think pieces from the New
York Times.

Speaker 3 (01:50:26):
Correct, but it's they're not real and they're just headlines.
So Fulberto sends us a New York Times pitch bot
bleat that says in this Texas bar, paston still means bill.

Speaker 2 (01:50:38):
But they do know this.

Speaker 3 (01:50:39):
Electing a senator whose personal life is something out of
Big Love will take more than a simple plan.

Speaker 1 (01:50:45):
And a film I've never seen.

Speaker 3 (01:50:48):
And Fulberto says, now you have to explain New York
Times pitch bot on the podcast, which I already did. Also,
I never saw a simple plan, and when you used
to talk about it, I got confused with a simple
favor a movie we have seen.

Speaker 1 (01:51:05):
We have seen not the sequel though, thankfully.

Speaker 3 (01:51:08):
And Miss rosemaryann y Eddies Rose says a misunderstanding might
have been a good time for a Sister Peg character
to come in and introduce the idea of restorative justice.
But I think the writers would collectively have a stroke
if that concept was even mentioned. So shrug, that was

(01:51:29):
the Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:51:30):
Is Sister Peg dead? Did we kill her?

Speaker 2 (01:51:32):
I do believe that Sister Peg has been killed off?

Speaker 1 (01:51:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:51:35):
Miss Rosemary NYC continues or follows up with her Geeks
who Drink Trivia screenshot, So she goes to Geeks who
Drink Trivia sent a screenshot of a question, which, uh,
I don't think you're allowed to do, and she writes
the first question at Trivia tonight, and here's the question,
Matt Okay. Along with Brad Paisley and Peyton Manning R

(01:51:59):
and B. Singer Jill Scott has performed the on your
Side jingle for what Insurance Company Nationwide?

Speaker 2 (01:52:06):
That is correct? Who the fuck is Jill Scott?

Speaker 1 (01:52:08):
We've as that's two Jill Scott.

Speaker 3 (01:52:12):
References WHOA in one Bonus episode, one three hour Bonus
episode and lastly, but not LEASTI for Fulberto writes in Ooh,
the Avivira trip was the cover for the real story
where you guys have been And this is a Daily
Mail article that reads Blake Lively drops her controversial investigation

(01:52:32):
into small time content creators amid Justin Baldoni legal war.
And this is from about five days ago.

Speaker 1 (01:52:39):
Yeah, so a lot of things have been happening.

Speaker 3 (01:52:41):
That's why I was under the impression that she dropped
her suit. But it was just the investigation into small
time content creators.

Speaker 1 (01:52:48):
It was just the people that filed motions to quash
the subpoena. She withdrew those. But if you didn't respond,
which I think is still have time to those subpoenas
are still.

Speaker 2 (01:52:59):
Accix, still happening.

Speaker 3 (01:53:01):
