Iconography around me and that was bubbling up. Yeah, yeah, you're great, unconscious exactly.

What's up?
It is gonna be here but your poopoo prison?
Eh, But what's up? That's me mat to mad enter one one, Matt Leab, that's right.
Yeah, correct, you're referencing, Oh my god, by tribe called quests, that's what it was.
Okay, yeah, oh my god, yes, oh my god.
Yeah.
I was always because I didn't have a dog growing up, so I didn't really get the reference that one. Oh man, Yeah, my shits are pretty soft after two days. That's because open air.
Okay, we got that one on wax.
How's it going, Matt, How are you going good?
It's going good. I'm you know, I'm just living my life. I have a baby, as I've brought up multiple times, wonderful and uh yeah, she's back in daycare, which is one of the best things in the world. For three weeks, daycare went on vacation for the holidays. Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
Vacations are fun, aren't they. They're just relaxing.
It was literally the time in my life that I realized like, oh this is this is it. From now on, vacations are no longer about being relaxed.
A break for other people.
Yes, there, they are a break for the people who we pay or the government pays to look after our children. Yes, and and now we're stuck with them during the most wonderful time of the year.
It's like watful.
It's like when you whenever you see people who like they're on vacation and they have like a nanny or like O pair with them. Now, I'm like, oh, that's y'all. That way y'all can do something. And I'm like, but yeah, I learned a lot. I learned a lot on this trip, being like, yeah, this is I'm a tour guide basically, yeah, yeah, this is what I do. Especially because nobody speaks. It's not fun, so you know, it's.
In a different way, fun in a different way. No, Okay, here's your trip, I would say, right, but your child is used to your child is still small, small being age. He's flying around. Now, what do you mean he's flying around.
He's he's got a jet pack, dude, I don't know where he got it from. He still I don't know where he is. I don't know where he is right now. But no, like he's like soup. You used to be like, he goes where you just put him on the ground, but now where you put him on the ground, he's like, I'm out, I'm the fuck out of here. And also, I think I experienced my first form of rejection where normally, like when I would pick him up, he would be like, yes,
pick me up. But now he goes fucking limp like noodle, I want to crawl, motherfucker, don't fucking lift me. And I'm like, oh my god, this motherfucker.
It's very funny when they just are like, oh, I'm dead weight, yeah now, bitch, and you're like, oh, I just wanted to look yeah yeah.
And it's good, good advice. You know, we can all learn something from that. Just going dead. You don't want to go to work, just go dead.
Go down when your boss tries to lift you up to take you in, just got the arms.
Yeah, I'm dead.
Yes right, all right, Well, Matt, we're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First, we're gonna tell our listeners a couple of things we're talking about. We're gonna talk about Nancy Mace, who had a crisis of some some manner when Hunter Biden showed up on Capitol Hill. We're going to talk about the
phrase ESG, which was like environmental social governmental. It was like a term that was used by Wall Street to connote these are things that we're doing not necessarily for profitability, but mainly for you know, because they are the right thing to do and it is now. The Wall Street Journal just wrote an article being like it's a bad word now, like you can't say that shit anymore around anyone. So that's right, surprise. We might talk about judge, Judy.
We're definitely going to talk about tunnels. Just tunnels are having a moment in right now. They're huge all over the national share conscious international international consciousness. We're and then we'll get into Jesse Waters groundbreaking report on Taylor Swift being a CIA, all that plenty more. But first, Matt Lee, we do like to ask our guest, what is something from your search history?
Oh? Something from it? We're starting with search history. Bo, why are you acting like that's new?
No?
No, I just I wow, I form this is jazz. I guess I have overrated and underrated just right here ready. And I was like, oh, you know. And then when they asked search history, okay, let's go, let's look through it. Oh, I wanted to do a search. This is gonna be not funny, but interesting. Fun fact I wanted to do. I wanted to find out how many of the Israeli hostages have been rescued by the IDF because that was you know, it was like the impetus for going and
doing this mass bombing campaign. Everything was like, we got to get the hostages back, right, and no cease fire, We got to get the hostages back. And so I looked up and the answer is one.
One person through like rather than like the exchanges.
That rather than a ceasefire and prisoner exchange, which is freed. I think upwards of I think one hundred and thirty Israeli hostages and then I don't know countless Palestinian prisoners slash also hostages slash children and yeah, one and so far I think the tally of how many hostages have been accidentally killed by the IDF is while waving a white flag, yeah is four so far? Jesus. Yeah, not
a good record, Not a good record. Yeah. The reason I'm looking this up, sorry for shameless plug, is because I started a new podcast called Bad Hasbara, the World's most moral podcast. It is about Israeli propaganda, and you can check that out wherever you get your podcast. I promise it's it's more fun than me just reading facts. But but sometimes it's not, but it's it's you know
what it is. It's cathartic. If you want to listen to an anti zionist to talk about Israel from his perspective, then yeah, check that out.
Yeah you are the best follow You're one of the best followers for this sort of thing.
And thank you. Yeah, I love you.
I love you.
Man.
What's what's something?
You think?
It is overrated?
Left handed people? Whoa listen? I just feel like I have gotten a point in my life where left handed people keep It's like they think they're the most special people are either you left handed?
I'm half what I'm partially left handed?
Wow? This full claimed. Wow, we're I mean your ambit your ambidextros.
Like when I'm leaving a hostage note now I write and do small gestures of my left hand, so I write, eat, and shave with my left hand and then everything else I do righty.
So all right, So you're left hand you're a left handed person, that's what. If you're writing with your weird little left handed crab claw, then wait, let me.
See your left hand, Matt. This is what it actually, it's a little crab claw.
It's a literal crab claw. Has one normal hand in one crab claw called your left hand. Yeah, that's right. But you know, I just like, uh, I feel like people who like left handed people. I feel like, and I can't prove this, but I think it's I think it's true that they have their own like secret little groups in societies where they all like secretly meet up and they go like, we're smarter than the right hand people. Right like, Jack, you do that right?
I can't. I can't talk.
Yes see I knew it. I knew it. And meanwhile, the rest of us normal people, right handed people. You know, we have to prove our create activity other ways. But all you have to do is be left handed. And people are like, wow and Jimmy Hendrix, shut.
Up, Jimmy Hendrix, we do we do say that that was dead on.
M oh yeah yeah, Oprah Buzz Aldrons, Julia Roberts. Honestly, it's like, but you know, also Larry, like Larry Bird and Lebron are left handed? Are they writing?
Oh like me?
Yeah? But we had such similar basketball obviously Obama.
Yeah see, this is what I'm saying. You know, those like neo Nazi memes where they keep like showing people and they'll just put a star of David and they'll be like, this is the person who owns the buy a column and all those Like obviously I'm again said and that's all evil, but I want to do that. But for left handed, for left right? Yeah, and I think we need like a symbol, you know, just to separate them out.
Yeah, dude, Bill Gates CARDI.
B I'm just telling you that's right or parentheses four of them not three? Three is a semitic or is just pointing out who's left handed? Sorry, sorry, Sandy Kofax. Yeah, you know, I'm like a groper for grip mc gripper, Yeah, gripper, but.
Shaming the left handers, well brought left But who's the left hander that brought all this strife to your life?
My dad? Oh, thank you for we just got that. We got right to the heart of the right. Yeah no, I don't. I don't need therapy. I already know of my life right with your left boy, full left y, full left y. You know, it's just like always bragging about it.
Yeah, I am very ashamed rightfully of my left handed.
You are yourself you're a self hating left is self hating left.
I yeah, but writing is like when you look at me writing like, people win when they see like because I like, curl my arm.
All you got yeh, can't ship gross gross killing the fire, boil it in water and let me eat it. Butter, butter. Just your left hand just grabs dude. Mark Wahlberg bro Also, dude, I can tell you.
You can just ask me. Ask me. I'll tell you.
Who's a lefty s this is it? They all know they have they have a cartney. Yeah. This does be like the weirdest group chat.
It's like Paul McCartney, Billy Corgan, Mark Wahlberg, Bill Gates, Cardi, b Obama Jack.
Yeah, right, my people? What is uh? What's something you think is underrated?
Amy good Man, Democracy Now dot Org, The Warren Peace Report. Yeah, I I her co host and her co hosts mild Gray. I've only started listening recently, so I don't I don't listen.
Man.
Yeah, who's the co host, One Gonzalez? That's right, I like one, yeah, yeah, yeah, he's but he's always at home now yeah right, there's always someone on the show who I'm like, are they recording from a bathroom? What is this? That's one? Yeah, probably are, yeah, but uh yeah, no, I I have my my my wife, My wife Francesca, you know, listens to it and I would always like, you know, tune a little bit and I'm just like, yeah, whatever. But in the last like three years so so months,
I've been listening to it because I can't. I can't listen to The Daily anymore, unfortunately. Yeah, because it just it fills me with rage. Well yeah, because they're ripping us off. Yeah, because they're ripping it exactly what they do. No, that's it, That's why it's always been that. But I just like that was it was the final straw. They ripped you off. They start doing footnotes, and I was like.
Yeah when Barbara started opening it with Hello the Internet and left them to the Daily Daily.
And really yeah, yeah, for me, that was the final straw. But no, then I started listening at that Amy Goodman and I was just like, you know, I she she does a good job. This is like, you know it it feels very nineties, Zene. But I still am like
the fact that they're keeping it going. You know, like this has been around forever and it's a you know, from a like a leftist perspective and you know, people have problems sometimes with the guests they they got or whatever because of whatever problematic you know, views they have,
you know, visa V right shut or whatever. But I'm you know, I I'll listen to it, and I'm just like, no, this is a you just don't you don't see this kind of journalism being done on a consistent level, without equivocating, without waffling, without like kind of trying to both sides everything. And so I was like, you know, she's really you know, shout out to her even though she needs to clear her throat.
Now do Sometimes you hear like the bubble in there.
You hear the bubble, you hear it, and you just like, I'll listen to like four times while I'm listening, I'm like, ah, just right there, it's just right there. You got it. When I hear that in podcasts, I'm was like, come on, get that bubble up. I know it. There we go, and I'm back, here's my real voice. God that you got to get that frog out. But you know, I'll listen. I'll deal with a frog in order to get like some some news, you know, yeah, yeah, well unbiased news.
All right, have you seen the thing when they do fundraising, like you could have a you could have like a meal with her, like yeah, yeah, yeah, Like if you for like a certain amount, it's like it's not an insignificant amount because obviously there it's like an independent thing. But like you will go to New York and you can have like dinner with Amy Goodman in conversation, just like.
I would do that just to I wouldn't even have dinner. I would just be like, Amy, come on here, please.
She's like, no, this is the longest bubble in broadcast history. I got I'm actually going for the trying to put out the Olympic flame.
Fool. You cannot put this ship out.
That's right. Oh yeah, all right, let's take a quick break and we'll be right back with some news. And we're back, and I officially know who Nancy Mace is now, I think for the first time.
Well she was.
Also she wore like the scarlet letter. I don't know if you saw that headline, yeah, after the McCarthy thing, and it was just.
Like someone in Congress is wearing a scarlet letter. This is the first time I'm having to like actually learn, Yeah, I now know who Nancy Mace is. And it feels irrevocable.
Yeah.
Granted, I'm pretty impressed with my ability to forget ship from day to day. But I think I now know who Nancy Macy.
Yeah, I think right now it's just too yeah almost Nancy Grace Yeah, exactly, Yeah, and kind of a similar vibe. She also was like a Republican who was like January sixth was an abomination until she needed Trump's fucking endorsements, like I'm outside of your Trump Tower on my knees for my life, help.
Me holding up a box.
Yeah. Yeah.
But shorthand would be that she is arguably one of the thirstiest members of Congress, and it's a thirst that cannot be quenched by any known substance on earth, Like she will do anything to be in the spotlight right now, especially because she's been telling people she's like, I might be able to be VP just off all these stunts I'm pulling right now. And it's actually the duty of her staffers to go on daily quests to quench her media thirst. Her staff handbook leaked last year and the
demands are wow to say quote. Staff are also expected to book Mays at least fifteen television appearances per week, a minimum of nine spots on national channels between one and three times a day, and six or more times on local outlets, and also being like, you also need to write any bills that so I can like put, I think, introduce something like sixty bills a year and have at least one like written into law, which is
not easy at all. Like, I think she really doesn't know how like any of this works if she thinks she can get one bill like a year into a law.
Yeah.
This is also the reason she voted to OUs Kevin McCarthy, Like not because she even cared. She was just like, oh shit, if I hop on this, like they're gonna ask me why, and then I can get on the fucking news.
So she did my name in your mouth.
Yeah, please, please, mother fucker please, which leads us to Wednesday morning's explosion. So Hunter Biden made a surprise appearance at the House Oversight Committee hearing where Republicans were about to approve at a resolution quote holding him in contempt of Congress for refusing to testify, which is wild because Biden was like, Yo, I will publicly testify so you
can everyone can hear. What the fuck I'm saying, because if I do this shit behind closed doors, you're just gonna contort my words and say this that or the other. So I'm willing to do that. So he showed up and just like just so y'all, just so you remember, I said I will do this in public, and when he did that, Nancy Mace absolutely lost it. And you know, I just want to lay this clip because here's old Nance just going just going off about the sight of this ghost of Biden past Hunter.
You, mister chairman, Chairman, comer. First of all, my first question is who bribed Hunter Biden to be here? Oh that's my first question. Second question, you are the epitome of white privilege coming into the Oversight Committee, spitting in our face, ignoring a congressional subpoena to be deposed.
What are you afraid of?
You have no balls to come up here.
Mister chairman.
Point of inquiry.
Mister Chairman, if the General, if the General lady wants to hear from Hunter Biden, we can hear from him. Right now, Miss chairman, Let's take a vote, and here from Hunter Biden, what are you afraid?
Are allowed to speak? In mixture this mixture of like half of it is just like this is you know, it's you are misogynistic, you're not letting me speak. And then also just random QAnon stuff where I was just like, you know, you clearly have like a pedophile ring under a pizzas shop, like this is clearly got no balls, bro, Also that mix in yeah you got no got no balls. I'm like, I've seen them. I just like that. He goes.
First question who bribed him? Second question? Get ready? Actually a statement you are the epitome of white privilege. Yeah wait yeah, and I'm also wait, so that's a bad thing now like.
Thing Yeah, but that's how we got it didn't exist?
What the fuck are we come on?
Nance?
Which one is it? Again? Is it Ucci Wally or is it one Mike?
Please let us know you are the epitome of white like yeah, and you got no balls even though we've all seen your balls in a picture that we looked a long time. Yeah, but yeah, very it was just wild to see her just totally be like you have no balls. And now that's trending on Twitter if you're curious why no balls?
Because of that? It's funny. It's you know, I have been like I've missed out on a lot of what's been going on with these these clowns in Congress. Thank you, and uh so, like this is someone who is new to me. Yeah, and I'm watching it and it and it's making me once again want to tune out. And I was like, no, I don't need to know. I don't need to know about these people. They're still they're still on this Hunter Biden thing. Yeah, like it's will both parties are so fucking far off base.
It's like laughable, you know what I mean, Like no one knows what what it actually matters to anyone.
They're like it's Biden's ball sack.
On one side, the other people are like have you heard of the biden omics?
And also democracy.
Is in peril?
Yeah, will stop. Nothing else to add. That's it. That's our observation about right now. And now. I mean, I realize that I live in a bubble, and you know, everyone's got their own little news bubble, But I does everything everyone is saying feels like there. It's like I don't I don't even know what you guys care about anymore. Yeah, you say like democracy is under attack, I'm like, yeah, you mean because of like lobbying. They're like, no, no, because because Trump.
Okay, democracy is under attack. Why because like the like voters are saying they want things like you know, universal health care or codified abortion into law like things like that.
Nah because Trump Trump bad? Yeah I don't remember Trump. Trump's still alive.
Wait, so what can y'all? Can you all define what this democracy is that we need to say it.
Makes something democracy? I just want to know at.
This point, and can you tell me what the what's the cost benefit analysis here on this of what?
What?
What do we get out of it? Because a lot of things we're yearning for haven't quite come through this process.
But yeah, it.
Sounds like questions from some people who don't have both.
Just you make a good point, You make a good point. These are ballless questions.
He's got no balls to come up here.
Okay, okay, but yeah, this that I love the you have no balls? And also, guys, stop being misogynistic. Yeah exactly, like you know, swim, It's like, I don't think you're all right, you don't think you I think.
Epitomy of white privileged thing also blows my mind, like yes, what are you?
Okay?
Who's that for I don't know that's who's that for?
You think Trump's watching and going yes, sister, yes, and he's snapping.
Yeah, took his ass. Yeah, get his alabaster ass, honey.
I bet he has a pretty well tanned ass, to be honest, I feel like it's a lot.
Yeah. Oh boy, yeah, all.
Right, yeah, I mean just in my imagination where.
Just in my imagine name Oh yeah Hunters.
Biden but is tan Okay, I didn't get that right, but anyway, that was good though. I tried, I swung and it was amazzing.
All right. Uh, just quick check in with the world of Wall Street. So basically the name that people use for projects that are done because the world is coming to an like capitalism is causing the end of the world is ESG Environmental Social Governmental and like the the UN started using that about twenty years ago and Wall Street picked it up and it there's a Wall Street Journal article that's basically like, yeah, we can't say that where those three letters anymore. That's a bad word now.
And it's not because there was like some major fuck up or like scandal that gave the SG a bad name. They are objecting to that phrase on the basis that like those projects aren't profitable, and there was a like backlash from investors to these projects that are designed to not be like to do things because they're the right thing to do instead of for the purpose of profitability.
They instead of saying yes. So, like one guy came and he was like, yeah, I'm trying to figure out, like what I'm supposed to say here, I'm a CEO, Like what And they're like, what you should say is as little as possible. Basically, you need to keep your like good deeds a fucking secret if you want to keep your job, which is not super encouraging. The idea of projects that need to be invested in because they do good and not because they're profitable is just never
going to be popular in Wall Street. And I think there is a debate about like whether you can cure what ails us with capitalism intact or whether you need to just disassemble the shit to get anything done. And I you know, this would certainly be a vote in favor of capitalism is the problem and you can't solve the problem with the problem.
Yeah, Well, listen, I think market forces have always been a force for good, and I think that if we just let the invisible hand of the free market. Yeah, figure out what you know, humans are supposed to survive and what humans aren't.
To this point extremely well without fail.
I mean, listen, you can go to McDonald's and get a McDonald's whenever you want a McDonald's.
That's true, but can you afford it?
And also that's not our problem. Well you could eventually McDonald's will have McDonald's bucks, right that you know. Well, so you know the monopoly game, sometimes you win a McDonald's. So I think my point being, you let the piggies fight over the feed, and then you and your fellow farmers you build a society away from the pigs. Yeah.
And the big news is that you used to have to pretend you were doing something good for them. Now you keep that a secret. Aka, you just don't do the shit.
Don't do it. You don't because then you don't want other people to start trying to do that, and everyone's like competing for that. That's not the kind of competition we want. There's only one kind of capital, and it's money. Yeah, we don't. We're not gonna talk about social capital or you know, public capital. You know, like this is just this is just money, all right.
Yeah, it's it's just I mean, I think this is so terribly predictable, right, because like this is just like with everything that happened after the summer of twenty twenty and companies were like, we hear you, Okay, we understand that, like there's some serious inequality and some serious inequities going on at this company that we need to address. It's like every fucking company, and then like ten months later they're like, all right, done with this ship, right, We're good.
We just had to say that in the beginning, bro.
We don't have to follow doing it. Spent the year going we at twigs can't breathe either.
Yeah, right, we want left twigs and right twigs to realize that we are just twigs.
Were listening exactly attitude of two for me and none for you, all right. Twix is now egalitarian and.
Has been redesigned as one big, unified TwixT.
One long TwixT one twist twig. It's one twig twick sing Oh y'all want that thick twig. Huh Okay, we hear you, We heard you, We heard Welcome to thick Twig for all of y'all.
This is equality now, Twigs is just going to sell a rapper with nothing in it there like ceo ate it.
So sorry, all right, let's take a quick break, we'll come back. We'll talk tunnels, and we're back. And the internet has been a flame over a couple of videos where it was revealed that a sect of a Hasidic community in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, were like, it's it's tough to say, like were they digging tunnels? Were they like did they break thro all to get to a like already existent space. It did seem like they were pretty extensive, and there is a video of a Hasidic gentleman like
coming up out of the street. Were great, like a ninja turtle, Yeah, looking like a goddamn goonies. And then when the cops like found out like rated the building, they.
Were like kind of pissed.
They were like, the fuck you mean we can't have tunnels, And it was just kind of it was it was a lot of fun. Obviously, anytime something like this happens, just the anti Semitism isn't far behind.
Yeah. Yeah. Unfortunately, Neo Nazis latched onto it for like, you know, they took what was a fun little story about about like Crown Heights shool that does not care about zoning permits, right, and they made it into like some rabidly anti semiticansp tunnels. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Yeah.
The amount of tweets that were like being like, this is what it's really about, and you're like, oh lord, I know, rather than like an explanation, because like when you dig into it, right, like at this specific synagogue, like there are these like twenty or thirty guys who believe that the founding rabbi is like the Messiah, and they're like they needed to expand the synagogue the size
of it. So this is just like a misguided attempt to be like if y'all aren't gonna do it, fuck it, we'll break through underground and make some more space us.
Just so fucking wild though, Like the whole that clip of the dude coming out it always made me wonder like when you see spy movies or some shit like that, it's like you can't low key just hop out from the underground, you know what I mean, like on a busy street and then play that ship off like this second your head starts popping out and somebody's walking by, They're like, Yo.
What the fuck is this? What's going on right here?
And the guy, the guy who was popping out, he was trying to be like we like trying to in his back.
Power him.
I would have been like, no one's gonna believe you, Broah, yeah, like you can't. I went to New York and I swear to God, I saw Jews coming out from holes in the ground, like no one would believe.
Good luck with that good luck, Like okay, they're gonna say it's a deep fake, even if you show them this video.
I personally all these videos and I was like heartened by them because I was like, you know, like Jews make tunnels, Palestinians make tunnels, right, yeah, like we are cousins, I think.
The real Like there's a lot of common So there's like a the kind of theological explanation the Miles was getting into of like that there's this Messiah figure that like they're trying. There's also like some of them said they're down there to study, which you know, okay, makes as much sense as any other. Other people couldn't help notice that the tunnels were like around the women's wing of like vi shoals, So there's always a chance it was just a good old fashioned jerk off tunnel. Who knows,
you know, just a regular jack off tunnel. I think there's also the very real explanation that there's something deeply human that longs to dig tunnels and crawl through tunnels. Like on the one level of my response was like, oh, that's wild, Like I've never seen a more surreal video, just a human popping out of a street in New York.
And like I have, you know, walking having lived in New York, you like walk over like these great thing you look down and you're like, what the fuck is going on down there?
Like, yeah, what is coming coming up through these tunnels?
What are those sounds?
Who down there? Why is it smell without me?
Are they roasting nuts down under the street? Why does it smell so good?
Is something fun happening? Yeah down there?
But I crawled through tunnels as a kid like that, Like I loved tunnels, Like I had a creek that ran past my house and went under a street through a like cement tunnel that then like branched into tunnels that went under people's houses. I think those are called sewage tunnels. Unfortunately, but I didn't know that at the time.
I was like, I'm a goonies, I'm a goonies with hepatitis exactly, get checked out.
But it was, uh, I don't know.
I think yes, and I think uh. My friend Ben Ziggy said, like all of the spoils down to the masculine urge to dig. There's just something about, you know, the freedom of digging a tunnel, because not only is it like this, like it's you don't ask why you know, and it's like, why because I dig? Why do we dig because a hole must be made? Why because I must dig? And then it's a singular, one direction kind
of task. And at the end of it, if you do it right, you've got a new place to throw a kicker, right.
You know?
Chilling? Have you seen fucking Matt's tunnel, dude?
Ye?
With fucking home depot buckets and ship. That ship is pretty chill, dude. It's like, legit, she's a legit fucking that's a legit tunnel.
That's one of the I think, you know, I would love to see a tunnel trend where everyone just kind of realizes, like, why aren't we just you know, if you own your property, you know, yeah, which I don't. I rent, but if I owned it, I would be like, here, I'm gonna do a tunnel. Here, let's make a tunnel at least network of tunnels, you know, like then we can all hang out in each other's houses and there's no traffic.
Till you actually learn what Like I remember like as a kid, like seeing in cartoons, You're like, oh yeah, you'd be digging and ship.
That's it.
Then you realize you actually have to like excavate and do something with all the displaced ship that you've like done, Like.
No, it's a whole it's a whole thing now like drop it through your pants shushing stuff.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah for the jack.
Shoes and Crown Heights. Just like you see them shaking their pants, You're like, why is there like sediment and rock coming out of there? Like every time they have like this softball game.
Where they all play together and they're all, well, every guy who was up at bat is just just shaking out a lump of dirt. But like to your point, right, this tunnel thing, there was a dude. It was reported like a few days ago in Brazil, this seventy one year old Brazilian dude fell to his fucking death after digging a ridiculously deep tunnel straight down in his kitchen, straight down the earth. Yeah, because he was convinced there
was gold down there. It sounded like he was probably having some kind of issues because he was like convinced these like people were telling him there was gold down there, there in fact was not, and he was like.
Paying people to fucking go even deeper and deeper. And then did you see the TikTok tunnel lady, Oh yeah, she got shut down.
She got shut down. And that's another one where again, so many people were captivated by just someone being like, fuck it, y'all, I'm gonna make a legit fucking tunnel. She says, she's an engineer, and like when you look at the actual like construction of it, it's pretty legit. Like she was building like air ducks, like all kinds of shit, like a whole other like a cistern system because she hit a spring. It was like a very legit tunnel and like to your point, Matt, like it
was shut down by the authorities in Northern Virginia. But she says she's pretty confident, like she can get the proper approvals, because like even in constructing it, she was doing it like to her, I guess from her perspective a very sound way.
It looked like it was a well made tunnel, and like so like, you know, I mean, what what do I know from tunnels? But I looked at it and I said, like, legit, she's not trying to you know, like she she's acting as if she had a permit. Yeah, so all that's left is a piece of paper exactly. I mean, I'm sure you got to get like a tunnel guy to come in there and be like, is this tunnel up to code?
We tunnel? I'll get you a tunnel guy. Man, Oh, I can get somebody in a fake mustache, like a.
You know, a tountal guy. I got your tontal guy.
Jack just turns his back to you and.
Heytal guy, what's going on? James Tunnel?
They're named after me?
Actually it's French.
But really I think that this is like remember that there is a story we covered a while back where like Brad Pitt was just like digging up his French estate looking for gold and and like there they were just like tunnels all over his right, Like one of one of his properties because someone had told him there's gold. I think we're all just like barely holding back this urge,
this deeply human urge to dig tunnels everywhere. Maybe not we're all, but there is a certain type of sickness that exists in like the deep young and like underground of the human soul.
It's just like, you know, like we want to dig down ron shed skin, dig. It's in our nature to dig. Yeah. I think it's like one of his hands for digging.
It's just like the one of the few ways you can truly feel like you are actually like breaking new ground and going somewhere where others have not, even if it is just like digging like a five foot hole in your backyard to burry Stefan, and.
There's a safety Like I don't know, I have said before. I feel like I have the opposite of claustrophobia, Like I feel good when I'm in like a tight like I sleep on.
My face like a hamster. Yeah.
I like being just like you know, in a confined and you have the.
Earth, you have a weighted blanket. No, but I bet you my wife does.
And then I just lay on top of her so yeah, yeah, we're all just mushing. There's a lot of rushing happening.
Closer closer, they son, put those dictionaries on my back. Burry me and my dumb bells. Bring your dad, come on, just bring that ana conduct. I want to be squeezed. My ultimate way to go bas that.
Yeah, you just keep watching The Crucible, that Giles Corey scene for there.
Yeah, more weight, number of turns up, jacked off to that thing.
Yeah, hell yeah, hell yeah, brother, we both get horny being eated by a snake.
All right, let's talk about the big Taylor Swift conspiracy theory that they're suspicious of her popularity as they as they often like they're they're always suspicious of like Hollywood when Hollywood makes a big movie and they're like, what the fuck's going on here, because because when they try to make a big comedy movie, it ends up not
not going so well. But anyways, they you know, her Time magazine cover was interpreted but interpreted by far right media figures as evidence of her role as a covert government operative. And now Fox News is like really doing their best to run with this. Jesse Waters Akaa dollar Store, Tucker Carlson dedicated an entire segment of his show to exposing how the Pentagon had secretly recruited Taylor Swift as an asset.
You got to hear his words, like just just his delivery here is fucking it's a I don't even know what the fuck he thinks is going on.
Here is like it feels like his show is like, at least partially, like maybe he thinks he's like The Daily Show or something like.
I don't even know what his show is. Sometimes I just see clips of it and I'm just like, what, who is this? Is this a comedy show or is this just He also gets dunked on by his own family, like.
Yeah, his mom calls in and is like, Jesse, you should be ashamed of your Be good.
Yeah, be a force for good, not a force for dumb shit. Anyway, Here's this is how he This is how he opens the barrage against Taylor Swift.
Well, Taylor Swift's the biggest star in the world.
Sorry, Gutfield.
She's been blanketed across the sports media entertainment atmosph The New York Times just speculated she's a lesbian and last year's tour what broke Ticketmaster, a tour that's revenue tops the GDP of fifty countries. I mean, I like her music, She's all right, but I mean have you ever wondered why or how she blew up like this?
Right?
Well, around four years ago, the Pentagon Psychological Operations Unit floated turning Taylor Swift into an asset during a NATO meeting. Well, knave asset, a psyop for combating online misinformation.
Listen, Okay, so he's about to cut away to a clip of what he claims is the Pentagon floating the idea. Somehow someone got a camera into a secret Pentagon meeting where they are floating the idea of cultivating Taylor Swift, an already successful, near billionaire musician, pop culture figure, bringing her in to work with the Pentagon, something that a cool pop culture you know figure would definitely want to do. Yeah, absolutely all right.
Also, can we just say, like his the premise of this entire segment, opening with do you ever wonder how she got so popular?
Yeah?
No, no abundance. I wonder how like a hot, skinny blonde girl who sings good and writes songs got popular? What the fuck are you talking about?
I gotta say even that clip of her like getting the hot goss that what's the name one of the as?
Yeah, Kylie Jenner shut down a photo op with Selena Gomez.
Yeah, with Selena Gomez. Like her reaction, everything about it is just like, I don't know, it's like a great performance. Every everything she does is just like a pitch perfect performance of Taylor swiftness. It's crazy. I'd never have once. The only thing I've wondered at is like how she manages to just like be this way all the time, not like whyl you dumb fuck No.
Yeah, It's like the only thing that I, you know, questioned was like how someone with actual talent got famous in the first place?
Right? Do some people like her too much? That probably has to do with the fact that we don't have religion anymore, but like this we have.
This is America. Our celebrities are our queens.
We got Elvis and we got this, Like, you know, this is it. But it's it's just so the idea that you can tell people to like something and they'll like it, like is just so dumb. Right, how true the Republicans would have like had so much more success than they have, right.
Well, I think it's also that there's still you know, because back before she was like kind of being ambiguous about her politics.
Remember, they were like, Yo, she's our fucking arian queen. Yeah, like we know, like she's keeping it hush hush.
And then she was like, hey, red shirt to vote because people are like fucking gross, So like, fuck you, you fucking Sia.
Fuck Okay, I think she might like trust fuck you. You have to remember that booth Willie style one for the for the right wing, the intelligence state, if it's not working in their particular white supremacist interest, then the intelligence State is trying to do woke.
Yeah, it's trying to make your kids gay, and it's yeah, you know, like so just remember that critique that the right wing has said it's gonna be about you know, oh so maybe the c I a fucking plant unless you know it's someone who loves Trump, and then they're.
Like, right, I mean co Intel pro was cool, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, like Taylor times up, the eye knows good.
Sometimes they do good stuff like breaking.
Up literally just fascinating people. So the video that he cuts away to is of a twenty nineteen event in which the Pentagon's psyop unit pitches NATO on the idea of turning to the swift into an asset. Wait, sorry, that's not even close to what it is. The woman giving the presentation is not a Pentagon employee specializing in syop work, rather a research engineer and applied physics at Johns Hopkins University. So the other people, the other people
on stage weren't from the Department of Defense either. They're from like Mozilla, the Firepoffs browser, and there is someone from the British Army not so.
What is he doing there? Yeah, all right, that's my six much.
Yeah, but yeah, it's just And she's like, wouldn't it be cool if you could leverage social media to change people's mind?
Dude, that would be so sick. I hope no one ever thinks of that.
Yeah, yes, exactly, social media marketing. Yeah. They also introduced a slide featuring depictions of several Game of Thrones characters being like, what if Danar's Targerian was a spy for the Democrats?
What if instead of doing a quiz to find out what Hogwarts house you are, we do a quiz to find out how susceptible you are to being a Manchurion candidate. Yeah, exactly.
Okay, they're saying, what if you could use social media influencers to battle misinformation, and that that is the overall idea. But he's like, they've done it before. They used Louis Armstrong and you know, Michael Jackson, Elvis, Nina Simone, they used them all, and it's just like they they used a Louis Armstrong tour and a Nina Simone tour as like a front to like do CIA work.
They want that, right, Yeah, which, of course did Nina know? Feel like Nina knew.
I think they were deceived and also like strong armed, you know. But and then Elvis, obviously we've talked about how he went.
To well yeah, yeah, he knew. He went to the FBI. I want to be I would like imagine gun.
Please was given an award by Ronald Reagan for his work in an anti drinking and driving campaign, and Ronald Reagan said Michael Jackson was taking time to help lead the fight against alcohol and drug abuse. But you think Ronald Reagan inviting Michael Jackson to the White House to give him an award for preventing abuse wouldn't be something Fox News would want to highlight.
But that's well, you know that they only believe in child abuse if it happens at the in the basement of a pizza shop. That's right, every other like you know, noted and case with evidence. They're just like bag that's the same job.
Sorry, I'll but this is also just like some shit that was tweeted by a racist troll on social media. Mike Ben's the former State Department official, but like just a racist troll at this point, We're posted the same clip on Twitter and even his post soon warranted a community note that the claim is false, and he was like, this is a good primary source to work from.
Yeah, god like and also like what I'm curious if I like, if they're going to go further, what exactly did the people in Langley, Virginia, Like, what are the orders for this operation? Taylor Swift become massively popular and like just cape for like semi progressive things or not at all and that's the entirety.
Of it, or just or make Republicans look bad day get out there. Yeah, Yeah, it's it's weird to you know, like if she had like strong politics, then I you know, maybe, but her politics seem to be like pretty milk toes. It's just like you know, she I mean not that it's not good. She as a huge superstar her being out there and saying like, you know, we need to not have Trump as president, and I feel strongly about that.
Very good and I'm I'm pro that. But it's just like, you know, I don't think you need the CIA to make a celebrity say lib stuff like that's like their baseline except for Israel, of course.
Yeah, it's all inof it's all.
But if you want to see what it looks like for the government and to like work with the media to try to make a thing happen and how successful that is, I will direct you to Mike Pence's career and you know the what was the last bush guy please clam.
George W jeb Jim.
Yeah, like they you can't just make a thing happen because you want it to because it's good for the rich and the powerful like you.
Well, you can try, you can spend a lot of money to attempt that's you know, but at the end of the day, you know this this idea that like someone out there has the magic code, the magic combination of words that like now the c i A knows what words to use to do this so that they hypnotize. It's like these same people also believe in like pick up artists, ship yeah, libs Yeah, exactly like they they think that there is a combination of words that will make any hot woman fall in love with you.
Yeah, and it's working even on me. I'm starting to like her songs.
Yeah. I think shake it Off works. Yeah, because it's got to be. It's gotta be the CIA. That song slaps too good to not be right.
The creators of all the best players want to play. I mean, what the fuck? What do you think that means? Dude?
There actually was a list of songs someone God, I need to look this up. But someone pointed out there was a list of songs that have come out over the last like fifty years with CIA co writing credits. Uh, but none of them were like particularly good or successful.
Right, I need to look There's the Winds of Change, the Scorpions song.
Is that is that right? That?
There is a whole podcast about how that may have been a CIA.
App Yes, Yes, that's yes.
Yeah, because it was like at the time of the fall of the Berlin Wall and they were like, let's make this cool, Let's make and but that was like such a weird time where everybody was like super susceptible to I don't know, like Reagan Ragan speaking.
And to like by the Scorpions exactly.
