Ladies and germs, ask not what your country can do for you, but
what your country should stop doing to you.
Welcome back to the Short News Podcast.
(00:31):
Welcome back. My name is Alex Mador.
I don't really have much of A recap into my life right now, so
I guess let's just get into it around the world.
We we had a couple of situationswhere there were mass shootings.
I really don't like talking about these types of things.
But the first one we're going totalk about here was in America
(00:53):
at Brown University, a little bit local if you live in the
Northeast like myself, Like oh fuck, another one close to home
ish. Like I, I like that area of
America. Not that I dislike any
particular areas of America because I like most.
It's been a while since we've heard about a mass shooting,
(01:14):
unless you count the Charlie Kirk assassination, which did
happen at a college campus. There was only one target
though. This was it, 8 people were shot,
two people died. When I'm recording this, I need
to get more info on that or morewill probably come out about
that. But the main issue here that I'm
(01:37):
finding isn't isn't necessarily in like access accessibility to
guns or the fact that America has guns in the 1st place.
I want to be very clear first before conservatives come at me
like they did on threads over the weekend when I talked about
this. I'm not saying that we should
turn into Communist China and just take away everybody's
(01:59):
ability to do whatever they fucking want.
Like that's not what I'm saying here.
I'm saying this has become a bigenough problem in America where
it now feels like you are more likely to become a victim of a
mass shooting while fucking going shopping or going to
school than you are ever being able to own a home.
(02:22):
That is a big problem. That sentence existing coming
out of my mouth right now is an issue.
This has been going on since Columbine.
At least that was what the we'rein the now.
It's going to be 2026. We're in the mid twenty 20s.
(02:44):
It's a whole new fucking world. Same problem though, and it's
even worse this time. Remember when the news was
reporting every day on a new mass shooting and it became so
normalized? And most likely that's why we
feel like we're not hearing about it anymore or like it's
not happening. It's not like anything is
(03:05):
actually being done about this, right?
Because it's still fucking happening.
A guy can just bring a gun onto a college campus and shoot a
bunch of people and there's no fucking way to defend against
that. There's no fucking system put
into place to prevent that from happening in anything that is is
(03:29):
half assed. And all for optics.
Like sure, some schools have metal detectors, cool.
That doesn't completely stop theproblem at the source.
That doesn't make it so. The teenager isn't able to get
their hands on the gun in the 1st place.
And I know conservatives, you're, you're, you're itching
(03:50):
at your balls right now angrily,like, Oh my God.
But he's going to give me the right to, to bear my bear my
arms. I mean, what are you?
What else? What are you going to do?
You're going to put me in Communist China.
You're going to put me in Communist China, you
motherfucker. I'm not going to be allowed to
think or watch pornography. Dude if you live in Texas you're
(04:11):
already not allowed to watch porn anymore.
I was talking to somebody who lives down South and they've
already made it so you either have to give them your ID like
you have to scan your ID to watch pornhub in certain
conservative run states or no fucking backshot videos for you
(04:32):
buddy. Sorry, they're already taking
away your rights, and that's noteven like you're right to have a
killing device and backtrack a little bit here.
Let's go all the way back to before there was Pornhub, to
before anybody ever said the word backshots to the 17, to the
birth of America, to the Second Amendment, which is the right to
(04:57):
bear arms. The whole purpose of that was to
be able to form a well organizedmilitia against an unruly
government. Not you can buy whatever fucking
gun you want. You can go to Walmart and buy an
AR. That's not what it says.
Nowhere in there does it even say the right to go to a store
(05:19):
and buy a musket if you feel like it.
Even if you're a fucking psychopath.
Even if you probably shouldn't be able to own a gun, even if
like, you probably shouldn't have passed the background
check, you know? I'm not saying they should take
away your guns. I like guns.
I think they're fucking fun, dude.
I have a good time at the shooting range.
(05:41):
Believe me, it's a great time. I love guns.
They're so great. I, I'm good with them.
I'm good at them. They're fun to use, but do I own
one? No, I'll go to a place and rent
one. I don't need to own one.
That's scary to me. That's my opinion though.
I'm not going to take that opinion though, and put it on to
(06:03):
what I think the policy should be.
And what I think the policy should be is no, no, no.
I don't think they should Take away your guns.
I think that the background checks should be a little bit
more strict. If they have strict ass
background checks to be an Uber Eats driver, then I think that
the gun background checks, the gun ownership background checks
(06:25):
should be a little bit more strict than that should take a
little bit longer because they're looking for a little bit
more detail. If you think that's a problem,
what do you have to hide? What are you worried about?
Do you find yourself unsafe? And if the answer is yes, then
should you really own a firearm?The answer to that is no.
If the previous answer is yes tothat question before.
(06:48):
Sorry, I'm sorry, but that that's the truth.
There's certain people that justshouldn't be allowed access to
owning a firearm. I'ma let you in on something
legally. I cannot own a firearm for two
reasons. One, medical marijuana card
owner, I gave up my right to owna gun so that I could get
(07:13):
fucking baked to get rid of my seizures.
That's fine. Two, I've been to a psych
hospital before. So see, the law works, guys.
To an extent the law works. But I can go to a shooting range
and shoot clay pigeons and clay ducks and that's a lot of fun.
You're supervised, you know. My point being, it's still not
(07:34):
enough. Clearly, if college students or
anybody is just able to walk into anywhere and shoot the
masses. I'm going to let you in on a
little story here. My ex fiance and I, when we
lived together, we used to try to go out at least every weekend
when we lived in New York City just to like just to keep
(07:56):
ourselves sane in this crazy world.
This was before COVID and every time that we would pick out an
event or a venue or a concert ora restaurant or a park or
whatever, we always weighed the consequences.
The consequences being, could this potentially be a target of
a mass casualty event? And yeah, that sounds paranoid.
(08:19):
It sounds ridiculous. It sounds like a really rough
way to live. But do you really fucking blame
us? Back during those times, there
was that country music festival mass shooting where that guy was
up in a was it? He was up in a hotel sniping
people out from above who are just trying to enjoy a fucking
(08:41):
music festival. You're not safe anywhere
anymore. No fucking wonder they're they
were trying to push the metaverse for so long.
No fucking wonder so many peopleare afraid to go outside.
Agoraphobia is real. How do I know?
I had it five years ago. It sucks.
I'm getting sidetracked. But we used to weigh the
(09:01):
consequences like that. Baseball games, music festivals,
we'd be like, well, looking at the vantage points, like, well,
like on Google Maps, like, someone could get up there.
That would be really bad for us.Like, where'd we even hide?
Coming up with contingency plans.
You think I'm crazy until you find out that I grew up 20
(09:21):
minutes away from the Sandy Hookshooting.
I was at my school when that school got shot up.
People that I knew know the families of the victims.
I'm sure even some people know the guy who did it or knew the
guy who did it. And growing up like right next
(09:43):
to something, it does give you adifferent perspective on that
when you see the ripple effect that that has on the community
of Sandy Hook and even the communities right there, right
next to it, outside of it. It's a small ass world, and
Connecticut is a small ass state.
Our emergency vehicles in Ridgefield were going to Newtown
(10:03):
to help out in any way that theycould.
The fucking president flew to fucking Newtown to speak to the
people after one of the most unspeakably heinous things that
I'd ever seen or experienced as a young person, like on TV.
Aside from that was just like happening and we were all seeing
(10:25):
it. All of us fucking teenagers.
We went to school the next day. We were silent.
Nobody was joking, nobody knew what to say, even the teachers.
We didn't have like a sit down or a seminar or anything because
we were all in shock. What do you say to a bunch of
kids after that after a school? What do you say to a bunch of
(10:48):
kids in a school after a local school nearby just got shot up?
Other than, honestly, this couldhappen to us.
I hate to say it, but this couldhappen to us.
Because that's what I was thinking.
That's what my mom was telling me at home.
That's what me and my friends were talking about and how
(11:09):
surreal it was that this was thereality that we were living in.
This could happen to us easily. We used to take pictures of our
school security guards taking naps at their desks and be like
dude, we're fucking dead if anything happens.
And we would laugh about it. But at the same time we were
(11:31):
laughing about it because we were really fucking scared.
Like that year nobody bullied anybody.
It's just crazy. But you know why?
You get why. And I'm not saying like, oh,
this was actually a silver lining that bullying stopped.
No, that happened because everybody was living in fucking
(11:52):
fear of it could be me, it couldbe us, it could be all of us.
This could happen at any fuckingtime.
Our entire junior year of high school was overshadowed by that
darkness. Innocent fucking kids taken from
their families. They went to school that day.
They never fucking came home andthey had so much more life ahead
(12:12):
of them. And people want to talk about
freedoms. People want to talk about the
freedom and liberty to be able to own a firearm.
Like that's more important than the freedom or liberty of some
innocent fucking child being able to continue living their
life and going to school and surviving, going to school
(12:33):
without their life being cut short.
Do you know how disturbing that is?
That that's how we how we live right now.
Where school, which used to be apretty innocent thing, is now
akin to a battlefield in some places sometimes.
But every day at a different school and we act like this is
(12:54):
normal and we stand up for the wrong things.
We protect the wrong things, thewrong rights, and the wrong
people every fucking time and again.
I don't think that we should be just taking away people's guns.
The Second Amendment exists for a very good reason, but it seems
like both sides, Democrat or Republican, have lost the
(13:16):
meaning and lost the plot. When was the last time you seen
either side talk about the Second Amendment being for
establishing a well organized militia to overthrow an unruly
overpowered government? It's been a while and I wonder
why. Is it because they are the
unruly overpowered government onboth sides already who are
(13:39):
stomping on our rights? Me think so, but that's a whole
different story. But that's not what the Second
Amendment is for. It's not for just the freedom of
being able to buy a gun and shoot it under your balls
wherever you fucking are. Sorry, we don't live in 18th
(13:59):
century colonial America. We kind of live a little more
packed together. The population's a little more
dense. You don't have the space usage,
just shoot out into the plains near you.
You don't live on a fucking farm.
Or maybe you do. Let me know in the comments.
If you live on a farm. I feel like there's a whole
different set of rules too. Like there, there's a whole
(14:21):
different reason for you owning a gun.
If you, if you live on and own afarm, you got bowls, you got
varmints, you got people that could come and rob you, you got
all kinds of shit. You got Monsanto trying to come
on there and take over your corn.
Make it worse. You get what I'm saying?
But I want to steer away from this dark ass thing for a second
(14:43):
because I'm going to have to stop, stop the recording and you
know, I don't know in like 10 minutes or so because, you know,
I'm on my way home. I don't know how this is going
to turn out. And I apologize.
I I'm a couple days late to recording.
I I've had a lot going on. I am not talking about it.
It's just it's been very busy. It's been a very busy week, but
(15:07):
something happened the last couple of days that doesn't have
to do with mass, mass casualtiesof innocent people.
The Avengers Doomsday first trailer or teaser leaked.
And I, I was having a hoot with this.
A hoot and a half. Because I'm kind of, I'm
starting to get sick of the algorithmic, predictable way
(15:32):
that Marvel does all of their promotions, their trailers,
their movies. Because I think I've completely
predicted the plot and how it's going to go.
And I won't, I won't bore you. I won't spoil it because I know
I'm right. But what I will say is, yeah, so
the first trailer teaser to Avengers Doomsday leaked and had
(15:55):
a lot to say online about it. Threads, because I don't use
Twitter anymore. I use Instagram threads because,
you know, fuck Elon Musk. He's kind of the worst.
Hate that guy. But this first trailer, it
really kind of proves to me thatMarvel hasn't learned a single
fucking thing and all they do isnostalgia baits and predictable
(16:19):
plot points that they've alreadydone before.
So the trailer goes a little something like this boom shot of
a house. You see a a pair of legs getting
off a motorcycle. They're walking towards the
house. Holy shit, it's that guy.
You know that guy from that guy's one through three, That
(16:42):
guy walks into that house. That guy picks up his, that
guy's suit. He puts his that guy's suit into
a chest, 'cause I guess he's like, I've hung, I've hung it
up. I'm retired.
That guy's retired camera turns over to a crib.
There's a little baby. Holy shit, That guy has a son of
(17:04):
little that guy. That guy picks up that little
that guy to black text that saysthat guy will return in that
thing. And I'm saying it like this
because I want you to understandwhat I'm seeing here.
Every single one of these moviesis the same fucking thing.
(17:26):
It's holy shit, it's that guy logic.
Holy shit, it's that guy from that thing doing that thing
again. Man, I haven't seen that guy do
that thing in like 6 years. It's been so long, has it?
That guy did like six of those movies about that thing.
How many more callbacks to that guy are you going to need?
(17:50):
I'm saying this is like Captain America is Voldemort, but you
get what I'm saying? You could fill that in with any
fucking superhero. They always do the same thing.
Like End Game. It kind of made sense because I
don't know it it was the big finale.
It played like a big finale. A lot of those characters
(18:11):
contracts were about to be up. None of them had disappeared.
It wasn't like they were coming back, unless you count half of
them what being vaporized, but we all knew those ones were
coming back. The fanservice wasn't excessive.
It wasn't crazy. And then Spider Man Far from
home that had that guy energy all over it.
(18:34):
The third act of the film was a that guy movie.
It was that guy's 1-2 and three teaming up.
You're like, oh man, I I hope that guy finds that help that he
needs. And then all of a sudden, all of
a sudden it's like, holy shit, who's coming through that
portal? Oh my God, it's that guy from
(18:55):
2000 and twos that guy, the original by that director.
And then another portal. Oh my God, holy shit.
It's the other that guy from theother that guys one and two.
I didn't think he would ever come back.
How'd they convince him to do that?
Oh my God, it's all that that guys in one that guy, the movie.
(19:20):
How did they fucking get this together?
And you're like sitting there like the novelty hasn't worn off
yet because of the movie just came out and they haven't done
this over and over and over again.
But then they do it over and over and over again.
You get Doctor Strange, Multiverse of Madness, yet Ant
Man, Quantum Mania. You get all these movies where
(19:43):
they start introducing differentversions of these characters,
where it's just the old movies where from, like the 2000's, the
X-Men are coming back, Wolverinecame back, and it's cool to see
these crossovers. When it makes sense.
But the whole Marvel formula hasbecome, hey, remember that
(20:09):
thing? Hey, remember that guy?
Well, here's that guy again. And I'm kind of sick of that guy
doing that thing. I kind of want Marvel to try
something new. They have plenty of content to
work with and I think even the fans are kind of getting sick of
the fan service. I could be wrong there, but let
(20:33):
me know. Let me know in the comments what
you think about the trailer. I will say that the leaked
Spider Man Brand New Day trailerwas actually really good.
Like that's fan service where itmakes sense, where it's a a new
story or a new adaptation of a of a different story from the
comics. They're not doing the same shit.
(20:54):
They're not making it all gimmicky.
They're not doing a bunch of callbacks to old movies or
multiversal fan service where it's like, hey, hey, look, it's
that guy again. Remember that guy?
I'm happy about that. I'm looking forward to that.
I'm excited for that. I'm excited to see that guy.
But anyways, I got to go. I'm very hungry.
(21:17):
I thought I would pop in, talk about the serious and then talk
about the not so serious for a second and and we were able to
do that. So this has been the short news
podcast. I appreciate you and I will see
you on the next one. Take care.
Bye.
Ladies and germs, ask not what your country can do for you, but
what your country should stop doing to you.

(10:25):
it. All of us fucking teenagers.
We went to school the next day. We were silent.
Nobody was joking, nobody knew what to say, even the teachers.
We didn't have like a sit down or a seminar or anything because
we were all in shock. What do you say to a bunch of
kids after that after a school? What do you say to a bunch of
(10:48):
kids in a school after a local school nearby just got shot up?
Other than, honestly, this couldhappen to us.
I hate to say it, but this couldhappen to us.
Because that's what I was thinking.
That's what my mom was telling me at home.
That's what me and my friends were talking about and how
(11:09):
surreal it was that this was thereality that we were living in.
This could happen to us easily. We used to take pictures of our
school security guards taking naps at their desks and be like
dude, we're fucking dead if anything happens.
And we would laugh about it. But at the same time we were
(11:31):
laughing about it because we were really fucking scared.
Like that year nobody bullied anybody.
It's just crazy. But you know why?
You get why. And I'm not saying like, oh,
this was actually a silver lining that bullying stopped.
No, that happened because everybody was living in fucking
(11:52):
fear of it could be me, it couldbe us, it could be all of us.
This could happen at any fuckingtime.
Our entire junior year of high school was overshadowed by that
darkness. Innocent fucking kids taken from
their families. They went to school that day.
They never fucking came home andthey had so much more life ahead
(12:12):
of them. And people want to talk about
freedoms. People want to talk about the
freedom and liberty to be able to own a firearm.
Like that's more important than the freedom or liberty of some
innocent fucking child being able to continue living their
life and going to school and surviving, going to school
(12:33):
without their life being cut short.
Do you know how disturbing that is?
That that's how we how we live right now.
Where school, which used to be apretty innocent thing, is now
akin to a battlefield in some places sometimes.
But every day at a different school and we act like this is
(12:54):
normal and we stand up for the wrong things.
We protect the wrong things, thewrong rights, and the wrong
people every fucking time and again.
I don't think that we should be just taking away people's guns.
The Second Amendment exists for a very good reason, but it seems
like both sides, Democrat or Republican, have lost the
(13:16):
meaning and lost the plot. When was the last time you seen
either side talk about the Second Amendment being for
establishing a well organized militia to overthrow an unruly
overpowered government? It's been a while and I wonder
why. Is it because they are the
unruly overpowered government onboth sides already who are
(13:39):
stomping on our rights? Me think so, but that's a whole
different story. But that's not what the Second
Amendment is for. It's not for just the freedom of
being able to buy a gun and shoot it under your balls
wherever you fucking are. Sorry, we don't live in 18th
(13:59):
century colonial America. We kind of live a little more
packed together. The population's a little more
dense. You don't have the space usage,
just shoot out into the plains near you.
You don't live on a fucking farm.
Or maybe you do. Let me know in the comments.
If you live on a farm. I feel like there's a whole
different set of rules too. Like there, there's a whole
(14:21):
different reason for you owning a gun.
If you, if you live on and own afarm, you got bowls, you got
varmints, you got people that could come and rob you, you got
all kinds of shit. You got Monsanto trying to come
on there and take over your corn.
Make it worse. You get what I'm saying?
But I want to steer away from this dark ass thing for a second
(14:43):
because I'm going to have to stop, stop the recording and you
know, I don't know in like 10 minutes or so because, you know,
I'm on my way home. I don't know how this is going
to turn out. And I apologize.
I I'm a couple days late to recording.
I I've had a lot going on. I am not talking about it.
It's just it's been very busy. It's been a very busy week, but
(15:07):
something happened the last couple of days that doesn't have
to do with mass, mass casualtiesof innocent people.
The Avengers Doomsday first trailer or teaser leaked.
And I, I was having a hoot with this.
A hoot and a half. Because I'm kind of, I'm
starting to get sick of the algorithmic, predictable way
(15:32):
that Marvel does all of their promotions, their trailers,
their movies. Because I think I've completely
predicted the plot and how it's going to go.
And I won't, I won't bore you. I won't spoil it because I know
I'm right. But what I will say is, yeah, so
the first trailer teaser to Avengers Doomsday leaked and had
(15:55):
a lot to say online about it. Threads, because I don't use
Twitter anymore. I use Instagram threads because,
you know, fuck Elon Musk. He's kind of the worst.
Hate that guy. But this first trailer, it
really kind of proves to me thatMarvel hasn't learned a single
fucking thing and all they do isnostalgia baits and predictable
(16:19):
plot points that they've alreadydone before.
So the trailer goes a little something like this boom shot of
a house. You see a a pair of legs getting
off a motorcycle. They're walking towards the
house. Holy shit, it's that guy.
You know that guy from that guy's one through three, That
(16:42):
guy walks into that house. That guy picks up his, that
guy's suit. He puts his that guy's suit into
a chest, 'cause I guess he's like, I've hung, I've hung it
up. I'm retired.
That guy's retired camera turns over to a crib.
There's a little baby. Holy shit, That guy has a son of
(17:04):
little that guy. That guy picks up that little
that guy to black text that saysthat guy will return in that
thing. And I'm saying it like this
because I want you to understandwhat I'm seeing here.
Every single one of these moviesis the same fucking thing.
(17:26):
It's holy shit, it's that guy logic.
Holy shit, it's that guy from that thing doing that thing
again. Man, I haven't seen that guy do
that thing in like 6 years. It's been so long, has it?
That guy did like six of those movies about that thing.
How many more callbacks to that guy are you going to need?
(17:50):
I'm saying this is like Captain America is Voldemort, but you
get what I'm saying? You could fill that in with any
fucking superhero. They always do the same thing.
Like End Game. It kind of made sense because I
don't know it it was the big finale.
It played like a big finale. A lot of those characters
(18:11):
contracts were about to be up. None of them had disappeared.
It wasn't like they were coming back, unless you count half of
them what being vaporized, but we all knew those ones were
coming back. The fanservice wasn't excessive.
It wasn't crazy. And then Spider Man Far from
home that had that guy energy all over it.
(18:34):
The third act of the film was a that guy movie.
It was that guy's 1-2 and three teaming up.
You're like, oh man, I I hope that guy finds that help that he
needs. And then all of a sudden, all of
a sudden it's like, holy shit, who's coming through that
portal? Oh my God, it's that guy from
(18:55):
2000 and twos that guy, the original by that director.
And then another portal. Oh my God, holy shit.
It's the other that guy from theother that guys one and two.
I didn't think he would ever come back.
How'd they convince him to do that?
Oh my God, it's all that that guys in one that guy, the movie.
(19:20):
How did they fucking get this together?
And you're like sitting there like the novelty hasn't worn off
yet because of the movie just came out and they haven't done
this over and over and over again.
But then they do it over and over and over again.
You get Doctor Strange, Multiverse of Madness, yet Ant
Man, Quantum Mania. You get all these movies where
(19:43):
they start introducing differentversions of these characters,
where it's just the old movies where from, like the 2000's, the
X-Men are coming back, Wolverinecame back, and it's cool to see
these crossovers. When it makes sense.
But the whole Marvel formula hasbecome, hey, remember that
(20:09):
thing? Hey, remember that guy?
Well, here's that guy again. And I'm kind of sick of that guy
doing that thing. I kind of want Marvel to try
something new. They have plenty of content to
work with and I think even the fans are kind of getting sick of
the fan service. I could be wrong there, but let
(20:33):
me know. Let me know in the comments what
you think about the trailer. I will say that the leaked
Spider Man Brand New Day trailerwas actually really good.
Like that's fan service where itmakes sense, where it's a a new
story or a new adaptation of a of a different story from the
comics. They're not doing the same shit.
(20:54):
They're not making it all gimmicky.
They're not doing a bunch of callbacks to old movies or
multiversal fan service where it's like, hey, hey, look, it's
that guy again. Remember that guy?
I'm happy about that. I'm looking forward to that.
I'm excited for that. I'm excited to see that guy.
But anyways, I got to go. I'm very hungry.
(21:17):
I thought I would pop in, talk about the serious and then talk
about the not so serious for a second and and we were able to
do that. So this has been the short news
podcast. I appreciate you and I will see
you on the next one. Take care.
Bye.
