You know, man of a certain age, white
0:08
man of a certain age. We are contractually
0:10
obligated to go see Vampire Weekend when
0:12
they're into course, so I
0:14
did that in a lot of my contractual
0:17
obligation and
0:18
they were awesome.
0:20
And then they brought out Tim Robinson
0:23
and do you know, I think you should
0:25
leave?
0:26
Of course?
0:27
Yeah, so you know the Dangerous Most
0:32
of your words are quotes
0:34
from that, you know, the Dangerous Night's Crew
0:37
song, like at the end of the Dangerous
0:39
Nights video, the Sloppy Stakes,
0:42
and then like you beat when he's on the
0:44
beach and looks over and the baby's there. I
0:47
love that song. I've looked for it
0:49
on I find it.
0:51
It's Vampire Weekend. Their first
0:53
encore was like, hey, so we helped
0:56
this guy write the song for
0:58
the show.
0:59
That My god. I'm a little
1:01
bummed how quiet the crowd is when he
1:03
comes out, though, But I get I
1:05
guess that you can't expect a plurality
1:07
of Vampire Weekend fans to be I'll
1:10
scream if I see Tim Robinson people.
1:12
But yeah, yeah, so I don't
1:14
know what the overlap is.
1:16
I'm processing it too where it's like
1:18
it's not a musician.
1:19
It's a reveal too.
1:20
Yeah, the way he came out in his hood,
1:23
you almost believe maybe he was a little
1:25
like a piece of ship literal pie, Like,
1:30
I wonder who that is. I'm glad they helped
1:32
that guy. He looks like such a shovel.
1:33
He does look like such a piece of ship. Yeah,
1:36
I bet like a plurality
1:38
of the audience is just like, yeah,
1:40
man, that was nice when they brought out that,
1:42
like make a wish kid.
1:44
But that's my favorite is that saying
1:46
that he's a piece of ship is so vague.
1:49
It's not like he was an adulterer
1:52
or like he was a Criminal's right,
1:54
it's it's it's a slang term which
1:57
basically.
2:05

4:35
it other than just being.
4:36
Like, get out here. Don't
4:39
get screaming from the indoor indoors
4:41
so it's hardly audible to the squirrels.
4:44
But yeah, hoping that it's doing something I get. I put
4:46
a bird.
4:46
Feeder up because now that I have this Merlin
4:50
app where it like listens
4:52
to, you can just like set that ship, put it in
4:54
the background of your phone and it'll just
4:56
be recording and telling you every
4:58
bird it heard for like thirty
5:01
minutes.
5:02
I was just looking into that. I saw that the CIA
5:05
is underwriting all the technology on that, so you
5:07
just leave this on all.
5:09
Yeah, it's recording everything you're saying, everything
5:12
we were saying.
5:12
But what it calls out the birds? Just yeah
5:15
yeah yeah, oh okay, it's worth it. It's worth it.
5:17
Yeah. Wait, you can really scientific
5:19
too, like the birds. It's like that was a blue
5:21
one. Yeah, that one flies?
5:23
Yeah, that was that one with
5:25
the wings or whatever.
5:27
Yeah.
5:27
Anyways, well talk more about.
5:29
Talk more about, like, well, yeah, how you disagree
5:31
with the government in the direction of the country and that
5:34
one definitely not a chick. Not
5:36
a chicken.
5:37
Not a chicken. I'm thrilled to be joined
5:39
as always by my co hosts and
5:41
shout out to who did I say that
5:44
was on the discord, Isaac, Isaac. That
5:46
was a great one. Thank you, Isaac. Thrilled to
5:48
be joined as always by my co host mister
5:50
Miles great man.
5:52
Let's just keep the fucking ludicrous theme going
5:54
because rets are all blast
5:57
piled up. Trash rest got a big
5:59
old lash his rat to day. Think is
6:02
RATA day, Come get Joe, trash
6:05
dump dance dashed one now with search
6:07
them stacks, it's rat today, thinking Iggy
6:09
iggy, All right, shout
6:11
out keV whatef that
6:15
you know?
6:15
Man it
6:16
rat? Stand
6:18
by that statement rats he oh yeah yeah,
6:21
big old dump truck asses.
6:22
And if you draw a rat,
6:25
an aerial view of a rat is a pear
6:28
shape, you know what I mean, guessticker towards
6:30
the back. That's just that's universally
6:32
accepted. So I think that rat lore
6:34
is about Big Butler for sure.
6:36
That's right. Well, Miles, we are thrilled
6:38
to be joined in our third seat
6:41
by one of our favorite guests, one
6:43
of our most chaotic guests
6:45
one. He's a brilliant comedian.
6:48
He's a writer, he's an actor. It's brought
6:50
you comedy albums such as the Blake album
6:52
Stuffed Boy Live from the Pandemic.
6:55
I'm choking up a little bit, twelve years
6:57
of voicemails from Todd Glass to Blake
6:59
wex He's one of those two people.
7:02
His new special Daddy Lung Legs is
7:05
a triumph, a hilarious
7:07
triumph. Go watch it right now on YouTube. Please,
7:09
welcome to the show. The hilarious,
7:12
the chaotic, the riding a recumbent
7:14
bicycle in short shorts. He's Blake
7:16
Wexland.
7:20
This is Blake Wexler aka save
7:23
Zitegeist. Blake will
7:25
be the host at dawn. I'm coming for
7:28
Miles tomorrow. He will be
7:30
gone save Sitegeist.
7:34
That was from nobody wants to work any More?
7:36
Let me just say that. And then also that was from
7:39
Liz from Lancaster.
7:41
Inspired by Liz gave me a save
7:43
Zeitgeist, and then I added in the part
7:46
form taking out Miles, but the rest of it
7:48
was from Lizz, So thank.
7:49
You Liz from Lancas Blake Aster
7:51
PA, Lancaster, England.
7:54
No, Lancaster, pais Lankster
7:58
Blankster it's actually pronounced.
8:00
Is that is that Amish country? It
8:02
is? It is Amish country. That is country.
8:05
Yeah. Amazed
8:07
by their ability to write that, AKA, you
8:10
know, abusing.
8:12
Well, that's that's why I did it a cappella without
8:14
my normal, normal electric
8:16
guitar.
8:18
Out of respect.
8:22
Yeah, I mean you've you've told
8:24
us from day one that you are targeting
8:27
Miles. You're not here to make friends. Yeah,
8:29
you never take you never Miles down. Yeah.
8:32
True.
8:33
Yeah, I'm I normally I like an underdog,
8:35
which is what Miles is in this situation.
8:39
Side of insulting.
8:40
Also, I think an underdog about
8:43
without the media experience that Jack
8:45
has compiled over the years.
8:46
Trained media professional.
8:49
Yeah, got miles, he's got his back to the curve,
8:51
you.
8:51
Know what I mean. Other people root for an underdog,
8:53
I try and take them out.
8:58
Christie the governor gonna but exactly
9:02
Puppy to the gravel pit.
9:03
God, she must have told that
9:05
story so many times and had people just be
9:07
like hell, yeah, like you know
9:09
what's.
9:10
Wild though, I know, like, you know, obviously
9:12
we're looking like consuming way more political
9:14
news than like the regular person. But a lot
9:17
of I was talking to some friends and a few of them
9:19
had not heard this before.
9:20
Well they didn't know who she was.
9:22
I feel like, yeah, I know, it's like you have to really
9:24
and I get it. I don't know why. I'm like, you got to be a
9:26
real loser to really be have your
9:28
ear to what's happening in our own country.
9:31
But at the same time, like, but this is like
9:33
the funny ship, you know what I mean, Like she lies
9:36
and she's a potential puppy
9:38
cider. So anyway, it was fun telling
9:40
people that, watching the reactions on their faces.
9:42
Like my warm holiday treat, puppy
9:45
puppy one,
9:50
yes, only you
9:52
know requires like three to four puppies per batch,
9:54
so.
9:55
It's really good ones.
9:56
Yeah, you can water it down, but I'll notice you'll
9:58
notice deep stuff.
10:05
Pooch sloop.
10:07
Like poo soup.
10:11
Yeah, ye, I don't
10:13
know.
10:14
Don't call me out on my Did you just say
10:17
I'm the guest, I'm I'm the guest in your home.
10:19
I don't get Yeah,
10:22
that could be a T shirt? Should and it
10:25
is what.
10:27
Alone?
10:28
Yeah, I came.
10:29
Up with a T shirt.
10:30
A T shirt I don't think I can sell, but it's
10:33
gonna be. It says I'm a
10:35
dick head on it and next
10:38
to dick in real small type
10:40
it says to garn with a big
10:42
picture of Dick de Garon, the lawyer
10:44
for Robert Thurst in the trials.
10:47
And I think I can sell three of them.
10:49
Yeah, why do you talk? What
10:51
kind of fucking references
10:54
of all their dicks? More
10:56
like a cowboy hat?
10:58
That's the visual is quite fun, right,
11:01
Oh, maybe it should be a hat. It should
11:04
be a cowboy hat that says I'm a dick
11:06
to garon head, because hat goes
11:08
on your head and a picture of Garon on it. Maybe
11:10
not like one of those signatures like you would see on a baseball
11:13
card, fake ones.
11:14
I mean, yeah, to work shop.
11:17
Don't forget David Koresh too? And
11:22
do you do not forget about David? Never
11:25
forget about it?
11:25
Well, he never left, so I don't know why we forget
11:27
about him.
11:28
He's still here in a way.
11:30
All right, Blake, we're gonna get to know you a little
11:32
bit better in the moment. First, we're going to tell our listener to a couple
11:34
of things we might get to today
11:36
or we might not. Donald Trump is
11:38
on a begging tour in Washington, d
11:41
C. To have his charges overturned. These
11:44
are selony charges have turned
11:46
out to be a real thorn in that
11:48
guy.
11:49
Motivator.
11:50
Yeah, he's he's p o. It's
11:52
it seems like it's really getting to him. So we'll talk about
11:54
that. We'll talk about what
11:57
the right is signaling the next
12:00
rights that they're going to try to take away?
12:02
Is that why they're called the right because they like to take
12:05
away people's rights.
12:06
The next rights left of them? Not called the wrongs?
12:09
Wow, and now and think
12:11
about that, listener, Maybe
12:13
they should be called the wrong.
12:14
Hey, has Biden tapped you yet for his campaign?
12:18
He's been working on could use
12:20
your hell phone service.
12:22
So we'll
12:25
we'll we'll talk about just what what rights
12:28
they're going to take away next, because they've told us
12:30
via some Southern
12:32
Baptist convention they usually
12:34
is where they tip their hand a little bit. We'll
12:37
talk about Donald Trump shitting
12:39
on Milwaukee. Uh and North Dakota
12:42
just became the first state to approve an age
12:44
limit for politicians. Yeah,
12:47
which look at that.
12:49
And that, but
12:52
we like it. It's a start, I know, it really
12:54
is.
12:55
So we're gonna talk about that. What like how what
12:57
what stands in the way. Apparently
12:59
there's like seventy two percent popular
13:01
support for an age limit on
13:04
like the president, which makes sense,
13:06
like I had great, Yeah, it should
13:08
be like forty Poles have found the
13:10
majority of Americans think that both Biden
13:13
and Trump are tooled served. Only
13:15
eleven percent said neither
13:17
of them are, and then over
13:19
seventy Uh no, never mind. Anyways,
13:22
we'll talk. We'll talk about it. We'll get to the
13:24
hot ye gets that I'm holding
13:27
back. That's called a tease.
13:28
Baby. Yeah, God, I can't read, Baby
13:31
God, I can't.
13:31
Find the stat that I was looking for because
13:34
there's a lot of words and I'm sleepy.
13:37
Before we get to any of that, Blake,
13:39
what is something from your search
13:42
history that's revealing about who you are?
13:44
Search history? I didn't realize that this was
13:46
a this is a thing. But rodent men,
13:49
hot, rodent men.
13:50
We're talking about this, Yeah, talking about
13:53
did you?
13:54
Yeah?
13:54
So fucking move on, man, sometimes Okay.
13:57
My underrated oh
13:59
gold back Blake's Hot Takes aka
14:02
yesterday on TDZ Yesterday.
14:06
Geez you do, dude, just listen to the last episode
14:08
and the fucking steal that and come on
14:10
or something.
14:11
So I'm really trying to drive traffic all
14:14
of Froster platform right now, and
14:17
it's bad marketing what you're doing.
14:18
What's your feeling on what's your feeling on rat
14:20
boys?
14:21
I think whatever you guys
14:23
said yesterday was a great that's the right way
14:25
to think about it. I obviously,
14:28
I think it's an incredibly insulting
14:30
way of speaking about someone
14:33
while they're hot, right while
14:36
also saying they're hot and also being wrong about
14:38
that because they're not hot. I would say most
14:40
of these guys that they're showing are objectively
14:42
really ugly people, but
14:46
I don't like saying that.
14:47
So you don't like bringing being mean to these
14:49
guys who you judge to be objectively
14:52
really ugly.
14:53
Yes, leave them in a dark hot, leave
14:56
them in the shadows and let them be,
14:58
let them exist, And and yeah, it's
15:00
just it's it's not necessary.
15:02
Don't even really the name who creates
15:05
a fire? Who creates a fire in your
15:07
loins when you cast you?
15:08
Who's a hot guy for you?
15:10
Then? Yeah, just so I can kind of understand
15:12
where we're at here, that's.
15:13
What was the name of the actor who played monk oh
15:17
Tony Shalub, Tony Shaloup.
15:19
That's mine that they're not get
15:21
Come on now, be honest, I
15:24
would say that who's the hottest guy to
15:26
you?
15:27
Here's here's actually I will
15:29
say that in a moment. But okay, I
15:33
and I will and I will.
15:34
Get that politician answer, and I will
15:36
and I will get First, I want to push back on the premise
15:38
of the question.
15:39
But first I want to talk about immigration,
15:42
So immigrant and
15:44
the last I want to talk about immigration. When I'm halfway
15:46
through that, I'll get back to the rat boys. So I
15:48
actually think the one the rodent man
15:50
alleged rodent mean from
15:53
the bearer, And I know we're talking a lot of
15:55
animals yes,
15:57
I think he's circumvented man
16:01
by Jacked. Yeah, I think
16:03
he's too like, you
16:05
know, to ripple to
16:07
be erode it exactly.
16:09
Yeah.
16:10
And then the guy that I think is like is
16:13
so good looking and charming, the
16:15
guy who's the lead in Dark
16:17
Matter right now. He's Australian. His
16:21
name is excapes me. But he's he's
16:24
great and I see he's he looks great with a beard,
16:26
he looks Joe Edgerton.
16:29
Wow.
16:31
You ever see his uh directorial
16:33
debut, The Gift.
16:35
No, and I won't.
16:36
Yeah, okay, that'll
16:38
change your oping.
16:41
That what you've brought.
16:42
It looks like a dog.
16:45
He was ugly a ship good
16:47
never mind, No, it's like written directed
16:49
by him. I believe stars him as
16:52
like the world's biggest creep.
16:54
It's really but it's good.
16:56
But if that's the only thing I saw of him, Oh
16:59
no, that's the one that I'm facing this off up.
17:00
I love. Yeah.
17:02
Have you seen his brother, Nash Edgerton. Don't

17:26
Would you please? Fifty one? Last?
17:28
Hey, fifty fifty one.
17:29
Yeah you've heard of sixty nine, but that's that's
17:32
not happening anymore. I want to be fifty one fifty.
17:35
I want to be fifty spoon
17:39
I'm being spooned and someone's putting a poxicle. All
17:41
right, this is not that kind of job. And this is this
17:43
is off is it is locker room
17:45
talk.
17:46
You know what it seems to be when you're on I thought.
17:48
You're help trying to drive traffic, not to drive
17:50
people away. I'm trying to drive them to the previous
17:52
episode.
17:54
Fifty is being spooned
17:56
while someone puts a popsicycle in around.
17:58
No, that's fifty one fifty. That's
18:01
cute, thank you.
18:04
I'm just picturing you being fifty one
18:06
by Joel Edgerton and it's like, really
18:09
nice. There's nothing like dark about it, to be honest
18:11
with me, both know.
18:12
I also I imagine him having like a paper towel
18:14
too, because paper.
18:15
Towel along beside that is the only dark thing.
18:18
The only dark thing is is
18:20
if there's just uh no, no, if
18:22
there's no, people, there's just popsicle
18:24
stuff coming out of the side.
18:26
Of your Yeah, and it's only one.
18:27
It gets weird and like Slay
18:30
sloppy.
18:30
It's like those sloppy mess cooking videos
18:32
on TikTok. You're like, this can't be about I
18:35
think it's about the mess.
18:36
Yeah.
18:37
I would actually just get an absorbent pillow
18:40
and put that under my face so Joel wouldn't
18:42
even have to deal with it, so he could just be in the
18:44
moment and then just let wait, who's
18:46
this for? Is it for Joel or is it for you?
18:49
I'm eating the popsicle popsicles for
18:51
me. I don't understand what's so complicated about this. It's called
18:53
fifty one.
18:54
I hope you're doing a lot of labor for someone.
18:56
Skull.
18:57
What is what's the under rated?
19:00
Underrated?
19:02
Shazam the app that tells
19:04
you what songs are playing? Okay, so recently
19:07
I use it daily and
19:09
I have such bad taste in music,
19:12
and I don't even know if it's bad taste. I think
19:14
I just don't have any
19:17
I don't know how to find music. And for
19:19
instance, whenever I literally
19:22
people fast forward, I hear through Mark
19:24
Marin's intros and WTF. Famously,
19:26
I don't do that. I love them, But I
19:28
in this show all fast forward.
19:30
You don't listen to the interviews, right.
19:31
No, no, I don't even I've never heard another voice
19:33
in the podcast except
19:36
a Joel Edgerton interview. But he
19:39
But I fast forward to the end of this so I
19:41
can hear Miles's music recommendations
19:43
or Dustin when Justin does them, because truly
19:45
I do know bit actually like I always
19:47
add those songs because I just don't find
19:51
music.
19:51
Well.
19:51
I used to do it when I was listening to music
19:53
in my car, like on the radio or whatever,
19:56
and make like a.
19:56
Note of it. So I guess it's been like fifteen
19:59
years I've been able.
20:00
Where are you shazaming things? You just like going
20:02
buy a car with its windows down?
20:04
Like that happened the other day. Really I did
20:06
that. Yeah, they were stuck at a stoplight and rolled
20:09
down your window. What is this? What is this?
20:10
What is this? Is this? Guy? Was this guy? It was?
20:12
It was a convertible, so you know, the music was good.
20:14
Yeah the other day
20:17
I have to I have to be a little quet but like
20:19
neighbor, it was it was yeah,
20:21
Loggins through
20:24
the wall. I could hear him blasting
20:27
music in my house. So
20:29
I held my phone up to the wall
20:31
shazam and I shazammed a
20:34
song his song through the wall, and
20:36
it was like a song by Portugal the Man. I'm like, I
20:38
fucking love this song. And I just started
20:41
listening to a ton of their music. And then I went to a
20:43
concert.
20:44
Oh really, Portal the
20:46
Man this show, Yeah,
20:49
yeah, they are shout out man.
20:52
I like, I bought a hat. I have a Portugal
20:54
the manhat.
20:55
I listened to them all the time, literally
20:57
because the zeitgeist oh
20:59
amazing, as they should it should exactly.
21:02
I mean, I I don't know why we're even mentioning that.
21:04
I mean, I feel like about the Empire weekend before
21:06
we started, obviously huge fans of the show.
21:08
Art the Man should bring us on stage,
21:11
like these two guys are real pieces of ship.
21:13
Sometimes the pot there was no reference
21:16
to anything.
21:16
Yeah, alright,
21:20
these two pigs, all right, get out of here, pig
21:23
grand generation.
21:25
What song was it?
21:27
You know?
21:27
What?
21:27
Do you know what something was? I wasn't paying attention.
21:29
What were you playing? The Man? Song
21:32
was that? Did you sho started?
21:35
It was modern? Modern?
21:38
That one that one I had heard of that was like the big one. It was
21:40
called Modern Jesus and then
21:43
red, yellow, purple blue probably
21:45
not the right colors. Waves all
21:47
from that one album. I was like really into it.
21:49
And then I saw them in Philly
21:52
whenever that was, and they were great.
21:54
So yeah, all
21:56
right, the tech industry
21:59
as off the rails is they have steered
22:01
our entire civilization over
22:03
the past ten years. They have yours.
22:07
Just they
22:10
and I am just reading this word for word from what Blake
22:12
wrote in.
22:12
The doc No no, no, no, no.
22:14
As much as they have fucked us with
22:16
this AI bullshit.
22:19
That doesn't sound like me, they
22:22
they've.
22:23
Bought themselves, Like I think I'm giving them
22:25
at least another four years
22:27
just because of Zam. Yeah, Shazam
22:29
and the bird Shazam that I can't stop
22:31
talking about is.
22:33
It's called Merlin.
22:34
Merlin, Merlin. It's brought to you
22:36
by I think Cornell University, and
22:40
right, yeah, is that what they're
22:42
called the Big Red?
22:43
I know all the Ivy League teams.
22:47
The Big Red.
22:48
Anyways, it's a great app. Shazam
22:50
is a great app. But you've
22:53
got five more years the tech industry
22:55
and then you need to dom
22:57
yeah, you need, you need enough. Another thing
22:59
that just solves a basic
23:01
human problem.
23:02
What about this? We can we can give custom names
23:04
to your farts.
23:06
If another three
23:08
months, another three months, alright, that'll buy you about
23:10
a week.
23:11
But I'm not gonna lie that will buy you a little bit.
23:13
That's but like they're really good,
23:19
really great part names. Uh, let's take
23:21
a quick break and we'll come back and hear what you think is
23:23
overrated? Blake, Okay, that's
23:25
not all right.
23:26
I'll be here Tri
23:29
City Dust double.
23:41
And we're back and Blake
23:45
mm hmm Wexler. What if something you think's overrated?
23:48
Jack?
23:48
I think and Miles I think something
23:51
that's overrated on QR
23:53
codes more tech talk
23:56
that's the name.
23:57
Oh I was going to give them another fifteen years
23:59
for how cool QR codes are? Were
24:02
you? Yeah? Man, I fucking
24:04
love QR codes. Yeah,
24:09
we're like sends you to a website that usually
24:12
doesn't load. Hells.
24:18
I love it when it comes on the TV screen and they're
24:20
like they expect me to get my phone out and scanning
24:22
in three seconds when it shows up.
24:25
Fuck you Yeah, Oh you can't read
24:27
QR codes like with your own brain? Oh
24:29
I can meet that I actually we're
24:31
good for you. For you that's one of my
24:34
uh extra languages
24:36
them.
24:37
Yeah, yeah, that's how interesting.
24:41
Wait, well, what's it? What's your beef with the QR code.
24:44
It's like we were just saying, I feel like they never
24:46
load. You need good internet
24:49
when you're using them where.
24:51
We don't have in America. I could see working
24:53
in Korea or Japan.
24:55
But yeah, it is true,
24:57
objected measurably. We do not have the best.
24:59
No.
25:00
It sucks, shit, it's crazy,
25:02
it's insane. And often the cool spots
25:04
that I go to they're underground, you know.
25:06
They're like, yeah, you need to find hot spots, bro, not
25:09
cool. You gotta find an Internet
25:11
window. And uh there's
25:13
also I don't like how they leave the fucking windows
25:15
open on your browser where I'll
25:18
go look for my recent Google search
25:20
for this show and it's like, oh, here's eighty
25:23
menus. Right, it's
25:25
crazy from you at an airport.
25:27
Yeah yeah yeah. And now yet, like you said,
25:29
they're on commercials, they're everywhere. The thing
25:32
that I really don't understand, like sometimes I
25:34
get it, like if it's like in a fixed
25:36
position and you want a lot more information,
25:39
you can scan it like I've definitely done that before,
25:41
but like the way they definitely try and just like on
25:44
commercials try and do it or like TV broadcasts,
25:46
I'm like, y'all, I get that a lot
25:48
of people probably are holding their phones,
25:51
but the amount of time that the ship
25:53
is up there, it's like no one's pausing the TV.
25:55
It doesn't fo scan it. And that's where
25:57
you're like, are they I mean the thing, QR
25:59
codes have been for a long time, man,
26:01
so it's way longer than we think. Shit. Yeah,
26:03
yeah, I.
26:04
Think a guy that was working at a Toyota plant
26:06
invented QR codes. Well
26:09
time's up. Yeah, that's what I have to say. At
26:11
times it's been too long, it's time to take them
26:13
out. I like to color over them in sharpie
26:15
so people can't use them.
26:17
I feel like I've seen it, like one of those conspiracy
26:20
theory cars you know that has like weird
26:22
conspiracies written all over them. Yeah. Yeah,
26:24
I think I've seen one of those with QR codes
26:26
driving around LA, like.
26:28
A hand painted one or like no no.
26:30
I think they like printed it off the internet
26:33
and thank god, put some effort
26:35
in your conspiracy theory cars.
26:37
That would that would be funny is if they're
26:39
like, listen, I don't like what bumper
26:41
stickers do the esthetics of my cars. So I
26:44
think we can actually condense it into
26:46
one single all my QR into
26:49
one QR code, and this car
26:51
we believe Q is readying the
26:53
storm. You're like, oh, fuck, yeah,
26:56
there it is. I shouldn't stand.
26:57
It all right. Well,
26:59
speaking of Q, the man himself,
27:02
Donald Trump has gone on a
27:04
bit of a begging tour in watching DC
27:06
to have his charges overturned.
27:08
Yeah, dude, Yeah, he's visiting
27:11
the on Thursday, visited the fucking
27:13
Capitol, which is a WoT. I'm like,
27:15
when was the last time he was there?
27:17
January sixth Maybe he
27:19
wasn't there when he was president, when he lived
27:21
there.
27:22
Yeah, well when it was so
27:24
he was he was still there. I
27:26
mean, I don't know. He's there, I guess right
27:28
now, officially under the guise of discussing
27:30
his twenty twenty five agenda with the Republicans,
27:33
but that's basically just a cover for Speaker
27:35
Mike Johnson. That Speaker Mike Johnson
27:37
came up with for the official invitation,
27:40
But really he's trying to convince Republicans
27:42
in the House and Senate that they can
27:45
and should help him get
27:47
out of his legal troubles. So this
27:49
second he was convicted in New York, he
27:51
was basically on the phone with Speaker of the House,
27:54
Mike god has front row seats
27:56
at my jerk off shows Johnson, Yeah,
27:59
to get him to do something. And
28:01
Johnson was willing to entertain this terrible
28:03
idea because he thinks he knows the law
28:05
but clearly doesn't obviously, as exemplified
28:08
by all the not real legal theories that he thought
28:10
could form the basis for overturning the election.
28:13
Four years ago.
28:14
But the army of boot throwers
28:17
think that they can go after
28:19
Alvin Bragg and Fannie Willis to help
28:21
Trump. But these are all just fantasies
28:24
because Democratic Senate, where
28:26
even if they get out of the House, they're gonna be like, yeah,
28:28
get the shut the fuck up with this one.
28:30
I could see the Democrats finding a way to fuck it up
28:32
though, Oh
28:35
well, we got both sides this.
28:36
One, and we're like, we do like young Thug
28:38
and we're not really into the rico charges he's facing
28:41
down there on Fulham Council. Just on Thug's
28:43
behalf you know what I mean, But
28:45
yeah, they've tried this dumb shit before,
28:47
and like all it does is like waste
28:50
time. But yeah, no matter how much mining
28:52
Trump's gonna do or has done, it
28:54
might not get more than just rhetorical support
28:57
because the margins are too slim. In the House. There's
28:59
already p being like, I don't know if I can campaign
29:01
on like vote for me so I can try
29:04
and find a way to get these felony
29:06
convictions to go away in New York and
29:09
not everyone's in on it. So and
29:11
like it's funny, like you know, in political interviews
29:13
people on the Hill, there's always like a Republican
29:16
senator who asked for anonymity
29:18
who like says the same thing where they're like, you
29:21
know, my colleagues are saying that accusing the
29:23
Democrats are weaponizing the justice system.
29:25
I mean, if we're doing I mean, wouldn't we just be
29:27
doing the exact same No, it's a it's
29:29
a bunch of gobbledygook. So
29:32
yeah, I don't know, I don't. I mean he's trying,
29:35
but not sure where
29:37
the will or the you know, the
29:40
mechanisms to make that happen will.
29:42
Yeah, Actually it takes a place in time for it. It
29:44
makes sense to me that this is like a big
29:46
deal for him. Like the more distance we've gotten
29:49
from it, Like at first, I was like, he'll probably
29:51
just like bounce back from this or like just ignore
29:53
it and it'll be a slap on the wrist
29:55
or something. But there are some early
29:57
indications it's like dinged him a little bit, and polls
29:59
like, probably not as much as some people were
30:01
hoping, but some voters do seem
30:04
to be a
30:06
little bit put off by the fact that he's now
30:08
convicted fell In. And I feel
30:10
like the thing that's hurting
30:13
him is that his
30:15
brand is corruption, but
30:17
it's like being good at it, you
30:20
know, like it right, Like remember
30:22
in twenty sixteen during the
30:24
election where he would play, yeah,
30:27
why are you paying taxes? Because I'm smart, that's
30:29
why. Because yeah, his
30:31
whole thing is that he's good
30:34
at being corrupt, and like that's what
30:36
makes him smart. And then he just
30:38
like got caught doing
30:40
like the most low level criminal bullshit,
30:43
like like and all the scum
30:46
bag yeah, just rich scumbag, like
30:48
total bullshit, you know, Michael
30:50
Cohen, like all the things
30:53
were there, Like he's like he's a liar, he's terrible.
30:55
He's it's like, yeah, well he was working for
30:57
you, Like that's you're supposed
30:59
to be like this slick, corrupt business
31:01
man and you had this dufis
31:04
working for you, So like that reflects
31:07
poorly on you. And
31:09
like when he's not staying
31:11
one step ahead of the cops, it
31:14
really is deflating to
31:16
this mythos that he had like built up
31:19
just by being a very
31:22
consistent liar that
31:25
was able to just like hammer away with all
31:27
the money that he you know, had
31:29
and until people would just not
31:32
want to deal with the pain, right, And so it
31:35
feels like if I am pulling
31:37
for someone who is, like I suspect is corrupt,
31:40
but I'm like, yeah, but he's smart and like he gets
31:42
the job done. And then he gets caught
31:44
doing some dumb bullshit like this, like
31:47
that, I can see where that would
31:49
be massively deflating. And then having
31:51
him like continue to whine and like winge
31:54
like like this, Like I feel like
31:56
it could be at least temporarily
31:59
like like that. Uh, when that Macy's
32:01
Day float got impaled by the light pole
32:03
and just like deflated in three
32:06
seconds, right right right, Yeah.
32:08
It's embarrassing too, because he's always been
32:10
such a line jumper, you know,
32:13
like he always gets to the front of the line, Yeah,
32:15
with through no skill generally generally
32:17
money talking and deceit you
32:19
know, so maybe that is a skill. He is skillfully
32:22
deceitful. But now he's
32:25
not at the front of the line anymore,
32:28
and he can't even make calls,
32:31
you know, like he actually had to bring his ass
32:33
to Washington, which is so embarrassing,
32:36
Like the guy. The guy doesn't want to be in Washington
32:38
ever, and he can't even like be, oh, can I
32:40
make some calls or can someone go in my place?
32:43
He actually has to go in person and
32:45
talk to this ass.
32:46
I mean, no, it's true.
32:47
I think that is an indication, right, because usually
32:50
people would flock tomor a lago to fucking
32:53
you know, sniff his dandriff and be like exactly
32:55
you lord. But the fact that he has
32:58
like the summoning or I'm clearly
33:00
clearly for him whether or not they are going or not.
33:02
He's like me just streaming about it
33:04
isn't enough. I need to get in their fucking faces
33:06
and beg them or you know, tell them
33:09
what I need or whatever. But it I
33:11
mean, the Republican Senate is like,
33:13
like, you know, some people aren't even bothering to meet with
33:15
him, So yeah, I get
33:17
what you mean. Like and when like you're saying, Jack, when
33:20
people are used to seeing you one way and suddenly
33:22
that shifts, like it does make shit. Well
33:24
it's like, I mean, this is sort of a terrible
33:26
example, but like even like with the Drake Kendrick beef,
33:29
like Drake was on on top and Kendrick
33:31
made him look dumb, and
33:33
everyone's sort of like I kind of look at him
33:36
a lot different now because and
33:38
it's just sort of like, yeah, when your brand is one way,
33:40
all it takes, like damn, Dode, you got smacked like that in
33:43
public. Yeah, usually he blocks
33:45
it or ducts it.
33:46
But he really think about that one in the mouth. When
33:48
you think about how he was during the trial.
33:50
He was like so like above it and
33:52
like yeah, this is like beneath me bullshit,
33:55
and like that is just
33:58
it. It was assuming and
34:00
like projecting like this is who I am. I'm
34:02
going to continue to be this unflappable
34:06
teflon, Like I mean they called him the Teflon Dawn
34:08
and like and then so when
34:10
that just like that unflappable,
34:13
like falling asleep in court,
34:16
farting yourself awake, thinking
34:18
sorry, think it? What your fine?
34:20
Tuning a new app that would custom name
34:22
the Farts.
34:23
Dude being startled by
34:25
a bullfrog that happened to be nearby.
34:29
But like that, it just
34:31
makes him look stupid, Like the thing that he
34:34
always that has always made him to those
34:36
people look kind of tough
34:38
and in charge, ends up making him
34:40
look stupid. So I
34:43
hate to see it. You do hate to see it. We're
34:46
just pulling for him to make a comeback and everything
34:48
to be all right in his world. We're
34:51
just praying for him.
34:52
Yeah.
34:52
And speaking of prayer, I
34:54
bet a lot of prayers for Donald Trump
34:57
were coming out of the Southern Baptist Convention.
35:00
Man, doesn't that sound like a fun thing to go to? Yeah,
35:02
dude, I couldn't get in this.
35:05
Yeah yeah.
35:06
The aftermarket, Yeah dude, were
35:08
in the thousands and I only sit in the front.
35:12
So, uh, you know what the cross
35:14
fifty yard lines those
35:17
are my seats season tickets.
35:20
Sprint when they put the microphone
35:22
up for audience questions, I sprint
35:24
to that, like.
35:27
Just dive for it. But yeah, so
35:29
so many of the terrible policies that come from the
35:31
GOP have basically been telegraphed
35:34
either through like what the evangelicals
35:36
are angry about or what the online
35:38
weirdos make their like main stories on their
35:41
like web streams and ship And there
35:43
are two new ish developments because
35:45
we have sort of talked about this before, but these
35:47
things are starting to get a lot more traction. So first,
35:50
the Southern Baptist Convention aka the largest
35:52
and most powerful Protestant group in the nation,
35:55
has officially come out their position is to
35:57
oppose IVF and
36:00
this again has been something that has been
36:02
talked about on the fringes more and more and more. And
36:04
we saw the bills in the South where they're like, no, we got
36:06
to protect these popsicles
36:09
and from death. And
36:11
it is now Blake's mouth, that.
36:16
Is your weird kink. That was the type of popsicle
36:19
that it was.
36:20
And I don't talk about that publicly, but yes, you.
36:23
You're gonna be on libs of TikTok if
36:25
you said some ship like that about how you're like, this
36:27
fucking freak goes to
36:29
bed. His fantasy is to be spooned
36:31
by Joel Edgerton while sucking down
36:33
a frozen embryo.
36:35
No, who books that, by the way, who books
36:37
libs of TikTok?
36:37
Because I have been. But
36:42
yeah, so again, you know, the belief here
36:44
is that IVF involves multiple embryos
36:47
and so them being destroyed based
36:49
on the basis of viability they're talking about, then
36:51
you're you're killing the babies. So they got to save
36:53
the babies. They did call for the
36:55
adopt you.
36:56
Worrying about less about what's viable and
36:58
more about reading the biable.
37:02
I tried that at the Yeah, they kicked
37:04
you out. They knew, they knew from your tortoise shell
37:07
glass frames that you were not one of them.
37:09
You guys see the Vampire weekend concert
37:13
here Vampire.
37:15
Yeah, I mean should I do on the weekend is
37:17
praise fucking Christ.
37:22
So they did call for again
37:24
the adoption of frozen embryos so
37:27
that they may be saved. But like, let's be real,
37:29
like these fucking people don't give a fuck
37:31
about any actual babies, or they would be screaming
37:34
for better social services for children
37:36
and like improving the adoption and foster care
37:39
system. So nice, yeah, we get it. You had
37:41
to just say that to pretend to be not fully you
37:43
know, deeming people.
37:44
And part of me was like, oh no, this is going
37:47
to be a huge deal for all those like
37:50
fundamentalist Baptist Christian
37:52
IVF centers. But on the other
37:55
hand, look what they've been able to do for
37:57
reproductive take away people's reproductive
37:59
right over the long run elsewhere.
38:02
So yeah, which is wild because
38:04
it's something that helps people, you know, be
38:06
able to become pregnant. But yeah, yeah,
38:09
they have to figure out how to just basically,
38:12
you know, start they're all at war on people's
38:15
freedom, especially to like marginalize
38:17
and you know, take away any power
38:19
that women may have gained over the last century. I'm
38:22
so worried about.
38:23
The population going down, but they're
38:26
also like against people being
38:28
able top procreate in some case the white population.
38:30
Yeah, yeah, they're they're popular population
38:33
that comes directly from this.
38:34
Well it depends too, because there's that version
38:36
and then there's like the hyper capitalist you
38:38
know, Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos
38:41
fantasy version of the population going down, which
38:43
is more like a workforce. And also this
38:45
like weird Caveman way, if.
38:47
We have confirmation on that Wall Street Journal report
38:49
that he was just like fucking interns
38:51
at SpaceX and being
38:53
like, oh, well, you know you should have my baby
38:56
because i'm a high IQ.
38:58
Well he's got eleven kids, are you
39:00
know what I mean? Like, and he talks you
39:02
know that he's he's like he talked to that
39:04
one dude, Like he's all into fucking trying
39:06
to be the next fucking what's his name,
39:09
Yeah, Genghis Khan basically. But anyway,
39:12
the other thing that we're seeing more is
39:14
more conservatives embracing the idea of getting
39:16
rid of no fault divorces. We talked about
39:18
this when we talked like last
39:21
year about the first crow magnet man
39:23
to get a podcast, Stephen Crowder, when
39:25
he was like embroiled in a divorce where
39:27
there were like receipts in four k
39:30
of him being an abusive, shitty husband, and
39:32
he began railing against no fault
39:34
divorces, and we're like, oh, I wonder if this is
39:37
going to be a thing. Well, it's starting to be more
39:39
of a thing. So prior to nineteen sixty nine,
39:41
if you wanted a divorce, you had to
39:43
go to a judge to prove that the other party
39:45
engaged in abandonment, adultery,
39:47
or cruelty, and this led to like traumatic,
39:50
drawn out divorce trials or typically the party
39:52
that had more money for legal maneuvering would
39:54
win. And in some cases judges wouldn't even
39:56
intervene an instances of abuse. So it
39:59
was a fucking, full fucking system. Supporters
40:02
of this regressive move say
40:04
that quote making divorce too easy
40:06
causes social upheaval, unfettered
40:09
dishonesty, lawlessness,
40:11
violence towards women, war
40:14
on men, and expendability
40:16
of children war on
40:19
men, which
40:22
is I don't think it,
40:24
I'm sorry. No fault divorces actually
40:26
put like helps to bring down rates
40:29
of violence towards women.
40:30
Yes, of course, that's like one of the
40:32
main reasons it was created.
40:34
You're not stuck in an abusive relationship.
40:36
It also prevents men from having like insurmountable
40:39
power, like an insurmountable power dynamic
40:41
with their wives. It reduces like
40:44
when these bills were first passed in the
40:46
late sixties seventies, it like suicide
40:49
rates for women started going down. Look, you can go on
40:51
and on about why there's no reason to get
40:53
rid of no fault divorce, but state
40:55
Republican parties are bringing this
40:57
policy shift into their own platform, so
41:00
Home of State Senator Dusty Divers
41:03
introduced a bill. Yeah
41:05
waiting what Yeah, Dusty
41:07
Devers, Dusty Divers,
41:10
that's if you just switch the d's for
41:13
bees, you'd have a weird ass like beavers.
41:16
Now, now you're talking my language, busty
41:22
beavers, talking about beavers,
41:25
and they got that thick ass too. Come
41:27
on, I don't see the New York Times riding
41:29
about busty beavers.
41:30
Huh. Maybe there he had.
41:32
He introduced a bill to the states like
41:34
for their own version of a no fault divorce.
41:36
The Texican Texas Republican Party
41:39
at like put a call to end the practice
41:41
on their twenty twenty two platform, so
41:44
it may come up again this year. JD.
41:46
Vance and House Speaker Mike Johnson
41:49
have also spoken in favor of tightening
41:51
divorce laws.
41:51
So, like, the terror.
41:53
Campaign to bring back conservative
41:55
values and basically go back
41:57
to the eighteenth century is
42:00
in full swing. It has not gone away. But
42:02
you know, like we talked about in yesterday's trending episode,
42:05
a bit of good news because of Supreme Court actually
42:08
was like, no, you know what, We're gonna do
42:10
the unthinkable and
42:12
h tear this anti abortion lawsuit a new
42:15
one and you know, slat form.
42:16
Now you can.
42:18
But based on what they said, they're like you're gonna
42:20
have like they're basically saying like you need a new angle here
42:23
because so
42:26
yeah, I think they're feeling emboldened. But again,
42:28
just like we've seen with these other these other policy
42:31
moves to try and like restrict body
42:34
autonomy and healthcare access, it is
42:36
wildly unpopular and it's only gonna less to lead
42:38
to more messy and chaotic shit. But this
42:41
is their marching orders are coming
42:43
from on high, so I guess this is where they're going.
42:46
This is one of those things that are like a no fault
42:49
divorce is one of those things that like its name
42:52
doesn't show how how
42:54
important or how scary the alternative's
42:58
named things, you know, where it should be like oh,
43:00
like like the Divorce Equality
43:02
Act or something would be.
43:03
But yeah, yeah, you know, because no
43:05
marriage it's like yeah, yeah, well was it
43:07
wasn't my.
43:08
Fault, you know, like it's just so like
43:11
takes the venom out of like you said,
43:13
these horrific, abusive cases where
43:15
women couldn't get divorces before.
43:17
Yells a shame too. We
43:19
were talking yesterday's episode about
43:22
the Alito Like the tape
43:24
of Alito's wife where she's
43:26
she is talking like fantasizing
43:29
about putting up a flag that just says
43:31
shame to like, yeah,
43:33
to get into a flag war with people
43:35
who have a pride flag. She's just
43:37
like, yeah, shame, we
43:41
got a flag that's a shame and it has flames.
43:43
Let me spell it for you. V E R
43:46
G O G n A. They're gone.
43:48
Yeah.
43:50
I like to make up little flags in my head.
43:53
Yeah, it's
43:55
Doctor Strange like that. Upon
43:57
rewatching Doctor Strangeler recently very
44:01
cultured, I was reading a New York article,
44:03
well, rewatching Doctor Strange's love.
44:05
Yeah.
44:05
The the reason like they ultimately
44:08
decide to end the world is
44:10
because they like seize on the idea of like,
44:12
well we could have like a little cave where
44:14
like the men just repopulate the globe
44:17
and like that. They're like that gets
44:19
them going, and then they decide to ultimately
44:22
end it and like that feels like what
44:24
with this, Like, no, you can't
44:26
you can't use science to have a baby.
44:28
You gotta have a baby with sperm from
44:31
from me probably preferably.
44:34
Why was Keith Ranieri convicted?
44:36
That's the wife.
44:37
I want to I want to create a sex cult.
44:39
Why won't. They're all conservative
44:41
about it, feels like, you know, well,
44:43
and it's all to basically be like there is only
44:46
one way that's heterosexual marriage,
44:48
that creates people, and there's
44:50
nothing else. So yeah,
44:52
I mean, yeah, this is what they're
44:54
spending all their time on because the policy
44:57
is not even like the no real policy there
44:59
only look looking for the dissolution
45:01
of rights. This pretty much the only
45:03
thing they're running on these days. I guess if
45:06
maybe increased rights
45:08
for billionaires or tax dodging corporations,
45:10
I think those are the two groups. Yeah,
45:12
they're focusing on.
45:13
Yeah, and having like billionaire wealth
45:16
that makes that create and like
45:18
libertarianism that creates the
45:20
conditions where you can have a
45:22
cave where you're trying to repopulate,
45:25
you know, a nice cave, Yeah, a nice
45:27
cave.
45:27
Yeah.
45:28
All right, let's take a quick break. We'll be right
45:30
back.
45:41
Dusty Deepers, that's crazy.
45:45
Hand or back. I just didn't include
45:47
that.
45:48
You just remembering that? No, I
45:50
just read it again. I just
45:53
I just read Dusty, I saw it in print.
45:55
What's the problem Where I heard you say Dusty
45:57
divers and that I read it in the show
45:59
run Yeah.
46:01
It stopped me dead in my
46:03
tracks. As I was going through the show run down,
46:05
I was I couldn't stop.
46:07
I get Yeah, I just sat there looking
46:10
at it with my mouth.
46:11
Having a fucking sex bomb. Dude, Dusty
46:14
Deavers is yeah, I know, you said, Joel Edgerton.
46:16
Dusty Devers is my Dusty,
46:20
Dusty Dusty, take away
46:22
all of my rights please, a big professor.
46:27
Wait what yeh?
46:30
Yeah, yeah, I don't know, just
46:32
saying what do you want? You want? Uh?
46:34
North Dakota just became the first state to approve
46:36
an age limit for politicians. Age
46:39
limit for politicians seeming to be an
46:41
idea that is having a moment
46:43
for for some reason. We
46:46
don't we don't know why. We don't
46:48
know.
46:49
I don't know what you mean. Like it's
46:51
been fine for Supreme Court justices, senators.
46:55
Yeah, remember now suppressions as
46:57
old as possible older
47:01
older aap as.
47:03
Old as pot No, that's not that's not
47:05
how words work anyway, aoap
47:09
aoap rocky. Uh So. North
47:11
Dakota voters just approved a ballot measure
47:14
barring congressional candidates who
47:16
would turn eighty one by
47:19
the end of the year. Before their term would expire.
47:22
Wait a fucking
47:24
the trap door down on eighty one
47:27
is so fucking old and
47:29
yet and yet it would
47:32
uh disqualify I.
47:33
Think both of our current presidential
47:36
candidates. Trump's seventy seven, so
47:38
no he has time year, Biden's
47:41
eighty one, Biden's eighty one.
47:43
But Trump, this would be the year at the end
47:45
of the year before their term.
47:48
Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay.
47:50
Trump would be like right making it maybe
47:52
right under the wire or might be disqualified.
47:55
It was supported by sixty
47:57
one percent of the voters. It
48:00
won't affect any of the state's current
48:02
congressional delegation because they're all under
48:04
the age of seventy. But the
48:07
move is historic.
48:09
This is going to be the first state to set an age
48:11
limit for US Senate and House candidates.
48:14
It will likely face a Supreme
48:16
Court legal challenge. A
48:18
similar amendment was shot down in nineteen
48:21
ninety five because the Court ruled that states
48:23
cannot set qualifications for Congress
48:25
beyond those listed in the US Constitution.
48:28
You could probably hear that I was making the jerkoff handmotion
48:31
while reading that confirmed
48:33
but lawmakers have already
48:35
earmarked one million dollars in state funds
48:38
to defend the measure in court. So
48:40
they were like, we're passing this law
48:43
because we know it's going to the Supreme Court and
48:45
we want to fight for our ability
48:47
to do this. So they have one million dollars in legal
48:49
funds basically to you know, construct
48:52
an argument and you know, learn
48:54
from what didn't work in nineteen ninety
48:57
four the one thing that did
48:59
work in nine before when when it
49:01
went to the Supreme Court last time, the person
49:03
who I guess it was ninety five person
49:05
who wrote the dissenting opinion and
49:08
who was in favor of the age
49:10
restrictions was Clarence
49:12
Thomas.
49:16
Well, we'll see if you know, being
49:18
incredibly old as fuck, will have
49:20
changed his opinion on this. But
49:23
I don't know.
49:24
I mean, he's seventy five, man, He's a spry
49:26
seventy five, so he gets agile.
49:29
He's like, I'm good, man, I'm good as long as I have
49:31
my little r V I
49:33
can play around with and whatever.
49:35
Oh my god, I wish
49:37
he wrote an RV like off Roaded,
49:40
like John Madden. Yeah, yeah,
49:43
oh, I was thinking of to
49:45
Fly.
49:46
I was thinking of a TV.
49:48
Just like like he would
49:50
be five feet.
49:52
And it would just roll over on him and break
49:54
everybody in his body.
49:55
His robe gets caught in one of the ship
49:59
Claire, I told you not to wear your robe.
50:02
I like it.
50:02
Don't tell me my business, devil woman. But
50:07
this could be read as just a symbolic
50:09
gesture. Coming so
50:11
soon after Mitch McConnell's brain shut down
50:14
on live TV and Diane
50:16
Feinstein died in office
50:18
at the age of ninety, that was
50:21
one of those things that, like, when it was happening, I
50:23
don't think my brain had fully appreciated that she
50:25
was ninety.
50:26
I think because regardless of the numerical
50:28
age, just visually it was so clear
50:31
that this human body should
50:33
be just be at rest at home, like
50:36
not trying to like hear, like
50:38
be it a fucking judicial confirmation
50:40
hearing and asking pointed questions.
50:43
It's just a good thing that she didn't get through
50:45
that provision in her will that
50:48
she'd be weekended at Bernie's for the
50:50
remainder of her term, because that would have been
50:52
distasteful.
50:53
I think, well, that's where the
50:56
abuse of a corpse laws ended
50:58
up sort of overriding.
50:59
Her own will and saving us from anyway.
51:02
Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
51:03
Also, what difference, would it really need is
51:07
actually happening right when she was
51:10
it's oh god, yeah.
51:12
We're hoping that this inspires other states
51:14
to follow suit, which wouldn't be surprising
51:16
considering the idea of imposing maximum
51:19
age limits for elected officials is
51:22
supported by seventy nine
51:25
percent of Americans.
51:26
That's how you know it'll never happen.
51:29
Seventy nine percent. Yep,
51:32
that's just like a fucking slam
51:34
dunk. Like any politician, like
51:37
in a just system, would
51:40
be like, oh, I'm gonna make this my thing, Like
51:42
this is going to be I'm gonna just like ride this
51:44
to office. And then you get to office
51:46
and you just have like a bunch of elderly
51:48
people who want to kill you and destroy your
51:51
career because you're coming for them.
51:53
But you know, there is the
51:55
issue that you know people are gonna be like age
51:57
discrimination. Age discriminate
52:00
in the workplace is obviously not okay,
52:03
but there are age restrictions on other
52:06
First of all, on the other end of the spectrum when
52:08
it comes to like elected officials, you know,
52:10
you can't be under thirty five and
52:12
be president, or under twenty
52:14
five and be in the House, or thirty
52:17
in the Senate. And there's also
52:19
age maximums in
52:22
flying, like in aviation.
52:24
In the aviation industry, airline pilots,
52:27
commercial pilots aren't allowed to work past
52:29
the age of sixty five. But
52:31
that's, of course, because that's a very taxing,
52:33
exhausting job that requires intense
52:36
concentration in people's lives hang in the
52:38
balance. So nothing like being
52:40
president.
52:41
No, no, yeah, the
52:43
presidents are on the ground, famously on the
52:45
ground, except for when they're in a plane.
52:48
Do you think they what if they just like, let Joe
52:50
Biden fly or force one, because you know,
52:53
he proviosly asks for it, who's
52:55
to say he hasn't.
52:56
They probably just set up like a video game
52:58
joystick from the nineties and just be
53:00
like, yeah, sir, you can do it right here from your recliner.
53:02
Man, here you go. Don't get too whacky now,
53:05
a lot of people on board, all right, captain,
53:08
thank you.
53:10
In twenty fifteen, France considered
53:12
instituting a law that would banned politicians over
53:14
seventy from holding office.
53:16
I mean, I think you know, the the real
53:18
argument here is about the weight of
53:20
the decisions these people make that they
53:23
potentially don't have to live with like
53:25
the fallout from these decisions, like
53:27
especially when as it relates to the climate
53:30
and shit like that, when you have people who
53:32
already got fucking fucking both
53:34
legs in the grave. Yeah, like are
53:37
just being like, yeah, man, I don't fucking
53:39
doing anything to take care of with legs.
53:42
Yeah, of like Earth death, it's like yeah, because
53:44
you're you're fucking maybe gonna live ten
53:46
more years or some shit.
53:48
Well they're always cold anyway, so
53:50
you know they're they're fuck they're
53:52
cold as hell the blanket that comes
53:54
with them.
53:55
Yeah, I mean, in order to
53:57
be able to be traded from one sports
53:59
team to to another sports you need
54:01
to pass a physical. It's always
54:03
like, oh they've been traded pending a physical. There
54:06
has to be some way, some
54:08
physical a fucking president has
54:11
to pass. And I know it's not as easy
54:13
as like measuring you know, a meniscus or
54:15
something, but just mentally, there
54:17
has to be some sort of exercise that you can do that's
54:19
indicative of decision making ability.
54:21
And yeah, like yeah, invented
54:24
maybe ninety five percent over
54:27
the president, not van Buren.
54:28
They not van Buren. They do have physicals
54:31
that they're supposed to undergo or like make their medical
54:33
health records public. But that does
54:35
so.
54:35
Easy to but it doesn't bar
54:37
them from holding office, right, they're
54:40
just taken account.
54:43
Yeah yeah, but look at look at where we're at. We
54:45
have again a fucking a
54:47
mummy from World War One. Yeah,
54:50
up against this fucking other guy.
54:53
You can decide who's whos
54:55
and like it and a felon. It's like, yeah, these
54:57
are all kinds of things people should consider, but
55:00
it doesn't matter. But
55:02
God, I wish that that this should
55:04
be a standardized thing because especially
55:06
as it relates to the Supreme Court in all these other positions,
55:09
because we're allowing, yeah,
55:11
we're allowing this like kleptocracy to
55:13
just flourish
55:16
under the leadership of these people who really
55:18
they have no vested interest in anything sustainable.
55:21
And again we're gonna be left holding
55:23
the fucking mad Max bag in
55:25
like thirty years or I don't know however long
55:28
if it gets to that, I don't know, in the most cynical
55:30
version, but we're already seeing temper
55:33
like, look, the shit's changing, it's
55:35
happening right in front of our faces. And so it's
55:37
a bicker about like eighty one.
55:40
No, by the way, this isn't just a problem
55:43
in the US. So a decade ago, one
55:45
of the world's ten most populous countries
55:47
had a leader seventy year older. Today
55:49
they're eight. So
55:53
eight of the ten most
55:55
populous countries have leaders that are seventy
55:57
or older. Like, what the fuck happened
55:59
that ten years? Is it just they just
56:02
made it easier to like cheat,
56:04
to hold on to power.
56:06
I think that or just the idea of working.
56:09
Yeah, that's true. We all decided when we would
56:11
prefer yeah, avocado toast over
56:13
having power.
56:14
We quite quit world global leadership.
56:17
Yeah we worked from home, and then we stopped
56:19
working from anywhere. It turned into residenteeism
56:22
exactly. But I think really it's just about the
56:24
people who are still mentally gone
56:27
enough to think that these fucked
56:29
up policies we all live under are still
56:32
good or worth younger.
56:34
The sense
56:37
that they would be the ones who are
56:39
able to consolidate power.
56:40
Younger people, Yeah, they're.
56:41
Gonna be like, man, what the fuck is this?
56:43
I mean, not everybody, but a lot of younger
56:45
people like this is fucking bullshit,
56:48
And they all and all get
56:50
and and the problem is that people who have
56:52
the voting power or the people who are
56:55
even like processing this world are still
56:57
taking it through this very dated lens
56:59
about how these economic system should
57:01
work. So yeah, like, I mean it makes sense that,
57:04
like it's their swan song, because as
57:06
it gets younger and younger, were less
57:09
committed to upholding these fucked up
57:11
systems. Yeah, but again, I think
57:14
because of the nature of like white supremacy
57:16
and capitalism, they'll always find a way to maintain
57:18
you know, it's like a living organism. It will find a
57:21
way to defend itself. And I think right now
57:23
that's being expressed through you know,
57:25
keeping these really old fucking
57:28
zombie people in office and making
57:30
calling all the shots.
57:31
Yeah, capitalism's immune system
57:33
is fighting back. So
57:36
there are like globally the
57:39
legislatures have like houses
57:41
of Representatives and plays like that.
57:44
Parliaments is the word that I was looking
57:46
for. I have actually gotten slightly younger.
57:49
Reportedly, thirty percent of the world MPs
57:51
are under the age of forty five, according
57:54
to a twenty twenty one report. But
57:56
that is because explicitly
57:59
of age caps
58:01
and like legislation like this, So
58:04
stuff like this can.
58:04
Work, and people in those
58:07
countries seem to be happier.
58:10
Yeah, I don't know.
58:11
That's just like your opinion. Man, I want.
58:13
My grandpa who I want my grandpa who's bleeding
58:16
from the eyes to still run things,
58:18
you know, like Mitch McConnell, who
58:21
looked like he would like again that shit that
58:23
you want to see what a farragun hard reset
58:25
looks like a successful one. It's Mitch McConnell
58:27
when he's up there just being like.
58:31
To your point, there is an eye test to
58:34
it too, where it's like that I don't
58:36
know how old that person is. I don't know if they look
58:38
bad for sixty or if they look
58:41
correct for ninety. That person
58:43
cannot if you have to hold the door,
58:45
like if you're like worried, I first,
58:47
you can make it through a door, ever, unless
58:49
someone holds it for it's.
58:52
You need to hold our
58:54
president's elbow, like obviously
58:57
they're not gonna let it happen when
58:59
like in front of cameras. But if I were
59:02
walking up the steps with
59:04
him, I feel like I would want to hold his
59:06
elbow.
59:07
You would be an asshole. If you didn't, you would
59:09
be a bad person if you.
59:10
Like my wife would look at my wife would
59:12
look at.
59:13
Me and be like, oh, man, like don't let
59:15
him carry that briefcase. What do you do heavy?
59:18
He's trying to put in the overhead bin. Are you just
59:20
because you hated your grandfather? Doesn't whoa
59:23
babe? The way into this?
59:25
Not right now?
59:26
No, not whatever?
59:29

The kid loves baseball and they
1:02:17
give the kid like tickets to the
1:02:19
Phillies Mets game which was in
1:02:21
in London, I guess like last week,
1:02:23
and the kid is so excited I've never
1:02:26

1:02:28
You have to see. It is so cute.
1:02:30
The kid's so happy. It's adorable. So if

Jack and on our basketball podcast, Miles and Jack.
1:03:40
I'm at Boosties to where we're talking about
1:03:42
the NBA Finals. Oh
1:03:45
boy, that
1:03:48
was Wednesday. Yeah,
1:03:50
Mads in three. Still I'm still holding out for Masa.
1:03:52
Blake was on our finals preview
1:03:55
episode and just
1:03:57
say, hey, we nailed it.
1:03:59
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. I
1:04:01
mean because we were right. We were just like, it's probably Celtics
1:04:03
in four. But then we had to we had
1:04:05
to really start hitting the copium and it turned into
1:04:07
really hit or Celtics before were like, yeah, imagine
1:04:09
three, probably imagine side and I don't know, but
1:04:13
anyway, they just.
1:04:14
Don't got it.
1:04:14
Uh So let's see a tweet
1:04:16
that I like, oh, I don't know. So there's this
1:04:19
this woman on TikTok who's
1:04:21
using the N word and she started
1:04:24
using it like just sort of she was kind of like, oh,
1:04:26
well, now I'm going to launch my right wing career because
1:04:28
I lost my job doing it. And it was like this whole
1:04:30
thing that played out this week at Blackwood
1:04:33
be our black word. B l a q U E
1:04:35
w o r D tweeted, I was right
1:04:37
about that white woman who said the N word. By the way,
1:04:39
the neo Nazis are rejecting her for
1:04:41
being a psyop and not being white
1:04:44
enough. They're bullying her. She ruined her
1:04:46
life for the worst audience in the damn world worse
1:04:48
than the shade room comments. And if you if
1:04:50
you're on the shade room on Instagram, you know how
1:04:52
bad those comments are. So yeah,
1:04:55
it's yeah. You hate to see it when those those
1:04:57
racist rifts completely backfire on
1:04:59
you and you thought cancelation.
1:05:02
Yeah, tweet, I've been enjoying
1:05:04
Natty Winters. This would buy
1:05:06
you another ten weeks tech industry.
1:05:08
Natty Winter's at Utility Limb
1:05:10
tweeted, So I'm a first cyber truck
1:05:13
I r L And here's what I think. How
1:05:15
about a reverse next door so
1:05:17
we can report these to local vandals.
1:05:20
I think that's a really good idea.
1:05:23
Reverse next door.
1:05:24
I think I reverse next door for people
1:05:26
to get away with like.
1:05:27
Petty like, yeah, it's great,
1:05:30
it's dot com.
1:05:32
Yeah, run my neighborship dot com like
1:05:35
lawn furniture theft and you
1:05:37

1:05:43

1:05:46
What if they come for you? You know what
1:05:48
I mean?
1:05:48
I know that they wouldn't. It's
1:05:51
it's for other they wouldn't. People
