Happy, happy Black History.
Months, happy to be well, let me just look at my Google calendar really quick.
Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, terrible.
We're not We're not looking at Google. I've switched to deck dot co change my default settings so I don't have to.
Yeah, isn't it funny the things that are nudging us over the line to finally like disconnect from these evil companies. Like it's like all the stuff before and then I'm like, that's it. The maps plus the lack of uh Pride months and history months that have gone bye bye. No. I now use Apple maps, use weights from that is owned by Google.
Google, So we're good here, We're all Some of the maps the people were like other examples of places that haven't made the switch. I was like, heard of these bang oh wow bang yeah.
Interesting.
I don't know how could they not.
I mean this should maybe just motivate us to use paper maps again. I mean we do that as a youth, so you can't your car. Yeah, Thomas Guide.
For the Thomas Guide. Yep.
I like duc.
Ducgo because when I'm making a sacrifice around on ideological grounds, I like to feel like I'm making a sacrifice, you know, like the thing is objectively worse in.
Most harsh It's harsh out there for sure.
Proton mail, you know, just.
Got me one of those, just got me one of those.
Yep. Not great, but what why should it.
Be, you know, taking one for the team, you guys.
Turns out a lot of the things that were like greasing the wheels of our applications was like their desire to rob you blind.
Listen, listen, Jesus had his cross front to carry the ring we have.
Wow, now I feel good, I know, Jesus.
Oh good, it's a good thing.
We're not.
Yeah, it's a good thing we're not using AI right, because that'd be funny.
God, honestly, someone Yeah, that is a good one. Just replace anything with Jesus withel Now I want to see him. I want to see. I want to see washing the feet of the tax collector. I want to see it all.
Oh, Mary Magdalene washing Smigel's feet with her hair. Wow, we can make us really weird, guys like.
I can see being so weird, trying to resurrect Lazarus and ship. Yeah, like anything. Maybe we don't make Maybe I think Lazarus would have wanted it this way, right, freaky dude with a loin cloth all buvery over him?
Was Jesus walking around in a loincloth? Or is that just because one of his most iconic moments happened on the cross cloth?
Yeah, on the cross it fits the aesthetic.
Yeah, But for some reason I don't want to see, and that.
Was an aesthetic choice aesthetic.
I'm going to take off my pants, sir. You don't have to do that before the curcifixion. No, no, I want to be up there in my loin cloth.
We have talked before about some theories being floated that Jesus had a foot thing, and I had forgotten the story about Mary Magdalene washing his hair, washing his feet with her hair, washing his hair with her feet would be.
Direction that would yo, Jesus couldn't escape the fucking rumors if that happened. He had her wash his damn hair with her feet. The fuck is wrong with him? I don't know, bro, he bailed me out of my party. Now, I didn't have enough wine food.
But I suspect that, like there's lots of evidence of the foot fetish thing that I just don't know the Bible well enough to know. But yeah, well the her foot thing is like that that feels like you know, Usually he's like no, no, no, he's he's always the one who's like no, no, no, no, no, like I.
I serve you.
But then when it comes to like washing his feet, washing his feet with her hair, he's like, yeah, okay, we can do this.
Yeah.
Usually yeah, usually he's like nope, I'm yeah, you.
Get in between those toes.
Jack.
Do you know so much about the Bible? Is this of Miles?
He's also a tortured Catholic? Yeah, yeah, all right, I just yeah, I had I had Lutheran school, just crammed in my brain from kate kindergarten to eighth grade, and then switched to Catholicism for high school. And I was like, yo, strange, Oh got it all? You know, got it all? Like then, I remember a couple of times we go to Presbyterian like youth group because like a bunch of kids I knew and like middle school were going and I was like, what the fuck, y'all don't even swear in here? The
is this ship? We are twelve, We should be saying the F word. Okay, is that real? What saying you? Yeah?
No, I did Presbyterians.
I went to a No, I went to a Presbyterian like youth group thing because like other kids I knew, like kids who weren't fully like on some Jesus stuff, We're like, yo, it's fun, dude, we do like scavenger hunts around the city or whatever. And I went and like everything, it's no, no, no, not even with like the very wholesome like the scavenger hunt was like tell a stranger, they're a good like it was like weird, Like this wasn't it wasn't fun. It was like doing like christ stuff out in the open.
Endow watch some of the feet with you or with your hair that is difficult for those of us with short hair.
Yeah, at the time, I think I was recruited. I had very long, luscious hair. Good great for foot washing. So anyway, we need somebody.
To do the flip washing Tory. Yes, it's great to have you here. We're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First to tell the listeners a couple of things. We're talking about. Trump's just like kind of sampling the studio space a little bit, like you know, in terms of which dictators to like cozy up to. And this weekend he was on his
Napoleon shit. So we'll talk about that a little bit and get to see a clip of Fox News being really really into it, really into his appearance at the Daytona five hundred. We'll talk about the MAGA getting mad at Tom Hanks for a nine year old SNL joke over the weekend. They really just have it out for him. Man, there's just really like Tom Cruise or Tom Hanks, Tom Hanks, Yeah they want to or yeah, this guy just won't leave them alone.
Oh yeah, he was part of the que he was in the queue conspiracy for a yeah. Yeah, yeah, okay, So I'll coming back now.
Oh now you remember Torri Okay, convenient convenient.
Yeah, I think probably he was a little too close to the pandemic. And there's there's been a lot of articles long reads lately speculating that, like the pandemic is what radicalized all these young people. I think it was their bad brains, but I don't know. Well, we'll see, but he was proximal to the beginning of the pandemic. So one coin in the bucket for that that theory.
Before we get to any of that ship tory, we do like to ask our guests, what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are?
I have been searching. I love Lord of the Rings. I'm just a huge fan. And so I huh yeah, it's coming back, let's coming back around, It's all coming back, uh so, and I this is this is interesting because like my yeah, Tasmania mm hmm. Outside of Australia, it's it's a state. It's do they call them states? What do they call them? In province?
What do they call it?
Now it's part of Australia, it's an Australian state, whatever, whatever the equivalent is.
I am.
Yeah, and so I'm pretty anti Australia because yeah, I think that there are a lot like I'm conflating things here. I'm really sorry, I'm conflating my like over my my overrated is Australia. My thing I've been googling is Tasmania because like they get a carve out, they get a special exemption from being part of Australia for me personally, because it's got like really cool kind of like New Zealand and got like really cool mountains and water and
like how did this get here? And like how is this originally popular?
I don't know.
I'm very interested in Tasmania, so I'm trying to like learn more about it because I would never go to Australia personally, No offense, guys, I hope this is a safe space for me and me talking shit about Australia, because otherwise you're getting canceled.
What's going on on? What's going on with your with your dislike of Australia. Let's get into.
It, Okay. So I was skeptical at first, right, but then I went to Japan. A lot of Australians visiting Japan. I feel like then they were they were allowed, they were the Americans of like Asia, right, they were.
Ways Australians abroad huh yes, Maazi's as the Brits call them, because they're like Mostinos. Yeah they're not. Like really, it's just.
So fault all your faults.
Shut the fuck up.
We were all we were all there, yes, exactly, show together and okay, so I know that as an American I don't really have room to talk. I did notice because like the way that the way that like Australians engage in a different culture was just very loud, very rude, lots of assumptions, lots of how come they don't speak English? I was like, what is happening here? And I decided that I was going to be brave on the show and to say I think Australia is overrated.
Wow, damn hit him with it. That is that's your music though, that's your music, Australia love your music. No, I mean this is this is the I think this
is uh, this is a problem. All of these countries have that sort of come off this same tree because because being Japanese, when I go to Japan, I notice this all the time, and it's it's usually Americans or Australians, and you notice it a lot in spaces where people are being like normal like, for example, you don't use you can just because you can drink alcohol in the streets doesn't mean that every public space in Japan is like a fucking sidewalk festival for you to get ripped.
And on the train platforms I always see and I noticed Australians and Americans love getting drunkst shit on a train platform and like scream talking, and I'm like, Jesus, shut the fuck up, read the goddamn country. You don't do this shit.
But I think that's laws because they don't have to. They're like, we don't have to tell people not to do.
This, right right right? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah no, And I can see well yeah, and especially in a place like Japan that's mostly so docile and calm and tranquil, to have that punctuated by screaming and people crushing beer cans and just tossing them like on the sidewalk, you're like, good, yeah, yeah.
I feel like the bone deep white supremacy of lots of these countries around the world, like is I think was surprising to me as somebody who was like, man, America is really racist growing up, and then like as an adult, you know, just not not being that familiar with Australia and then finding out, oh it is there too, entirely major way, Yeah there too, because I have made this exact point on the Internet before, but I do just always want to make it that it's like, oh,
just like America, not saying like Australia. You know, Americans are really want to talk here, but it's it's bed there as well. Yeah, in ways that I was not expecting. Just back to Tasmania real quick. I did not picked for I think because of Warner Brothers cartoon. Like the I feel like the pop cultural like zeitgeist mindscape of
Tasmania is is not New Zealand. It's the the outback I feel like, is what I you know, like Tasmanian devil, h Tasmanian devil background is what I'm drawing on, which is usually just like dirt.
Yeah, no, it is very like out outbackish for sure. Tasmania, like the actual place doesn't seem to have much of that. It's very fascinating geologically, yeah to me, which not to say the outback isn't necessarily fascinating. It's just like there's not there's not a lot going on visually.
I suppose we were wheel like.
Mountains and oceans and oceans like when the mountains come up out of the ocean. That's the best in my opinion, And so New Zealand great Puget sound also very cool in my opinion. Vancouver, BC stunning. I'm just realizing I can add Tasmania to this list, so they get a special exemption from being part.
They're going to ask that you not. The greatest trick that Tasmanian devil ever pulled was convincing billionaires that it didn't exist as a great.
Place to You asked me to don't google me?
Could you know stop?
Could you not wait? When did you go to Japan?
Oh? End of twenty twenty three?
Oh okay wait, I was there too, at the end of twenty twenty three. I know, I know.
Yeah, I got back and I saw your yeah what the heck it' saw you were posting about it the heck.
Yeah. I hate I hate, Like it's so weird. It's like made me xenophobic as like a Japanese person, because like eight, I can't believe how people act in Japan anymore. Like it's really pisses me off.
Like foreigners.
Yeah, yeah, Yeah, it's like the logan the Jake Paul whichever Paul brother really kicked off that shit with his like oh yeah hair brain shit about being like, dude, you can fuck with these people. They don't even push back. Has really made it a very appealing place for like sick people like who who truly are going there, like you say, all the live streamers who now go there
and like nuisance live streamers. It's wild. I just saw a video this dude got his ass beat by some Japanese dudes, and I'm like, that's not oh shit, Okay, well I think we've had it because that's usually that's not some shit you see normally is Japanese people putting hands on foreigners like that. Yeah, yeah, it's it's happening. It's happening. And I think especially too, because the economy isn't great in Japan and a lot of people go
because the yen is so weak and just act the full. Meanwhile, Japanese people are still like our wages haven't gone up in like fucking twenty years. Yeah, yeah, it's very The world is strange, strange place.
No, I'm always I'm always so I'm sure I get pegged as American just because like the way I dress and whatever, even though I'm not like talking loud or like walking around Drusker or whatever, like being a nuisance. But yeah, I'm always like it's just I have so much. Anytime I'm anywhere near any kind of like westerner, I'm like, I'm embarrassed.
I know it almost like I think it's one of those things too. You go abroad and you hate seeing American people. You're like, I'm trying to.
It's mortifying. Like yeah, like like all of these like older white people talking about like well, you know, they're making a lot of progress banning abortion, which is so great, like talking about the States, right, can we just be on vacation and you not talk about your city politics?
Hey?
Do you want to eat some poisonous blowfish? Richard?
Like literally anything. It's just like, oh god, it's yeah, it's being an American is mortifying. That's what my anti Australia thing is. It's just projection.
Right, What is something that so we heard you think Australia and all the people are overrated? What is something you think is underrated?
Underrated? Oh my god? I literally had this like sitting here and then it fell out of my brain. This is what I have to write down.
Writing things down.
Writing things down is very, very underrated. Okay, we're just gonna do arts and crafts and being bad at things.
Hey, puzzle.
Drawing. I'm bad at drawing, painting, all kinds of arts, ship, and I think that I think it's good to do those things anyway.
Lines I can color inside them. Lines like a motherfucker. Now, don't ask me to draw something anything. I was drawing the child and planes and ship. I tried man this plan.
No, there's no way up.
How do I even fail at the most basic I should have just done lines. I'm like, this is a no. It looks like a fucked up shoe that got all flappy.
And I would say that he doesn't care. But my kids have a encyclopedic knowledge of like the things I can and can't draw. They're like, well, you can draw, you can draw sharks and like sometimes people's faces like one out of every three times and nothing else dead. And I'm like, yeah, that's all I did.
Put the down kids, Yeah, why are kids like this so harsh?
A lot of people who watch the YouTube videos have complimented me on my six year old's art in the background, that's actually mine.
So Jack calls them studies. Yeah, he calls them case studies for a larger work. I don't know. I'm like, that's very artsy. You're getting this actually case study number three upon reflecting on flower, I think is what it's.
Called untitled three hundred and seventy one. You've drawn three hundred and seventy one things before that?
Yeah?
Oh boy.
Yeah.
YouTube is good for if you want to if you want to fake being good at drawing. There's little tutorials on like how to draw an airplane, and then you can show it to your kid and.
Be like, take it till you make it.
Then until until the guy's child is too it is old enough to figure out, like, can you use YouTube?
I'm using paper? Yeah, what is this? Then? Ask nothing? Go on, go on, child, enjoy my drawings. Now.
The saddest vermire, Oh my god, the saddest doesn't vermire the one who like copied his paintings.
Off of a mirror. So oh really, yeah about that?
The only way that somebody could have somebody with no seemingly no talent could have painted this.
So well, maybe he had, Maybe he had poor vision, so we had to get real close to it in order.
So that's why that's what we gotta do. What we gotta do, Bro, Yeah, you gotta do what you gotta do.
All right, let's take a quick break and we'll come back and talk about the news.
And we're back back.
And I did not pay much attention to what Donald Trump was up to this weekend at the.
Data at the Daytona five hundred.
Yeah, I know, I somehow watched every second of the broadcast of the Daytona five catching the fact that I'm the Daytona five hundred because I'm not American. But he opened the race by riding the back of a limousine around the Daytona five hundred track, and then also made some overtly dictatorial proclamations on social media, posting, he who saves his country does not violate any law.
Damn take that, Chuck Schumer, boom, take that. Did you hear what he just said? Anyone who saves his country does not violate any capital l law?
Love the love the random capital Okay, indiscriminate capitalization.
Yeah, he came up with that, I think too, because he tweeted he did I think he who.
Saves this country does not violate any law which was attributed to Napoleon Bonaparte.
Oh fuck see, I don't know. I don't know that he's one of.
The good guys right in history. He seem as a good guy.
I think based on the Juaquin Phoenix film. I think he was like just kind of a crafty little dude, get me getting after.
It out there, Yeah, just running. He couldn't been that bad. Inspired Abba to make a song called Waterloo Waterloo. Yeah.
So so it does predictably have a much stupider origin. It's not an actual Napoleon quote, of course. It was started with a conservative commentator, Logan Hall, posting an image of Napoleon.
All that way, quote is that different than Logan Paul, there's another guy. Okay, there's a guy called Logan Hall also.
Their conservative commentator and influencer generator is just stuck on Logan.
Logan Ball. Yeah. Oh, Lamello's cousin. Yeah, yeah, Lamello's cousin, Logan Yeah, of course.
But he posted the quote on truth Social and then Trump just like kind of took it from that. It was originally a quote from a Napoleon movie that came out in nineteen seventy called Waterloo, starring Rod Steiger as Napoleon. That's one of those names that I was like, okay, and then I'm going to watch the clip and I'll be like, oh, Rod Steiger. Of course I watched the clip. I was like, I don't know who the fuck this guy is.
Wait, so I love that again, it's so off, it's not even a real quote. And then it's from a fucking movie from out Napoleon. To be like, yeah, all right, dude, I'm send that, send that along because they think I'm doing some kind of unconstitutional nonsense. I'm just saving the country, that's right, man.
And then taken by a conservative influencer, stripped of context, put with the painting of Napoleon and while history is written. I was really hoping that the quote was from Napoleon Dynamite.
But yeah, Trump fucking posted I bet I could throw this football clear over them mountains. And you're like, he's got some real uncle rego. Yeah, isn't your child. You gotta you have a Napoleon enthusiast. I do.
Yeah.
It was probably just a long It was a long, hard couple of It was a pandemic. The pandemic in the entire pandemic was was Napoleon stories and hearing about Napoleon and going as Napoleon for Halloween and remember that, yeah,
which was he was. He was a very cute little Napoleon, I will say, but it took a while to kind of try to talk him down, although I was successful from the idea of having, you know, having a dictator who's who just like wants the best for the country and like wants to do all these good things for the people, and so why wouldn't you give me all the power? I want to make the country great?
Right?
Yeah.
It's very appealing to eight year old boys and apparently to Trump, so they have that in common.
Yeah.
Yeah, I feel like my reaction to this is kind of the same one that you probably had, where you're like, of all the world famous European dictators, like, yeah, not Stalin, It's not right like those would be. Really, how do you as a as a parent deal with you?
You like your child? I heard this, love Stalin? You hear this? Hey, I know you like to play. Do you like this? General Alissimo Franco God, you're gonna try him out A little bit, no for good measure.
No, okay, okay, what's this Mussolini doing in here?
Yeah?
Yeah, no it okay. So my kid has has done a pretty big swing. But there was that moment where it was like, okay, but capitalism sucks. So Stalin he also did that, and we're like no, no, no, no, no, keep going, keep going.
Reading.
Yeah. So, I mean, for whatever it's worth, Trump will ever get to this point because he hasn't read. But you know he's reading the Communist Manifesto right now, a little older, a little wiser, Okay, trying to learn some stuff. You know, it's it's a process.
Think, get him, get him on that fan on next you know, some France and now you got now you got a still going.
Yeah, now you're cooking m Anyway, No, this is not This isn't terrifying at all. I do love that, like the right will just constantly blast out stuff that, like attributing things to the wrong people, like this was like George Washington praying we had what whatever it was, like the Delawa crossing in Delaware, or like this is the prayer, didn't Mike Johnson a couple of months ago do the like this is the prayer of like Thomas Jefferson, who
was not really even a theist. Just it's like you read this every day, No he didn't, and they just it doesn't matter. Like my thing that I keep coming back to is it's like we had this for for decades. It was like the marketplace of ideas, and you gotta you gotta put your ideas out there, got to compete in the marketplace of ideas. And it's like this is the marketplace of reality now, like like the I like
never mind ideas. It's like what actually happened and what didn't is constantly up for debate, and Trump I think contributes to that on a pretty much a daily basis, whether or not he's an office.
It's like there's like this very like elementary school logic that's applied where it's like, well, if that historical figure said it, then it has to be okay because they're in they're from history, you know, like in the same way like they had like that fake MLK endorsement, like or in the lead up to the election, and like, bro, this is a fake ascid. But what the fuck are
you all talking about? I Mean, I'm okay, maybe what did okay, uh yeah, I mean luckily though, the the the sycophants loved this very odd display of power.
It's just interesting timing before we get to the SICCA fans, because this is like as they're going over to Europe and being like, by the way, you all work for us now, and your only problem is that you're not friendly enough to Nazis in the right wing and we're team putin, So.
Take it easy at any question. No cool, all right man, great talk, great talk, great talk. Well we'll head on out now. Yeah. That's also God, it's all it's all happening so quickly.
But all the times to be quoting Napoleon, this is an interesting moment, right, right, of.
All the times to be quoting not Napoleon, right, So yeah, that weird race track display where he's like an l right around in my armored car.
All of his goons went on TV to tell everyone how they should think of it and how cool it is, because that's that's the deal now, because that was just the sickest display of impotent power ever ever. So I remember that guy, well, he was a primary opponent, but dog Burger, no, Doug Burgum. It's always hard to remember
his name. He's now the Secretary of the Interior. He went on Fox like the next day to like, really just lay it on thick like this is that was so amazing and it's giving you know, full blown I don't know, whatever dystopian vibes you want to put in there, I'll let you decide. But here's Dog Berger talking to Fox and Friends when.
We saw him take that victory lap of sorts going around the track.
Uh yeah, yeah, well, well, Steve watching President Trump in the beast leading the pace card, leading a field of the most talented drivers in the world, kicking off the entire NASCAR season for America.
When he was doing that, it reminded me of how he's actually leading the world, right Yoh, opportunity to be with him, with the Prime Minister Modi from India, with the Prime Minister of Japan, and the world is looking to President Trump for his leadership and he's out in front and everybody's following his lead. And wow, is that great for America and great for the world.
I mean, that's great for the world. You know. Obviously he's out there in armored Carl literally going in circles over and over again, going out absolutely nowhere.
There's other directions you could have taken that metaphor, Yeah, just just.
Leading people round and round on the road to nowhere. But it looks really fucking cool. Then he goes on, he keeps amping it up. He's like, oh man, there's stuff he's doing. Now, he's on it. He's not another gear.
I just like the idea that because everyone's looking at him, that he must be like leader. Like it's like, yeah, everyone looking at him, the way people in the room with a monkey might follow the lead if the monkey picked up a handgun and like looked look at him like a monkey that just picked up a handgun and.
They're like whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. All eyes on him.
Must be good, must be good because people are looking right, yeah, exactly like made you look logic of an adolescent bully, or just.
Saying like, I mean, well, they were looking like it was in disbelief. Yeah, but they were looking even though it was they were aghast. It doesn't matter. He goes on to continue to, you know, demonstrate how loyal he is to the leader.
I got elected for the first time the same time President Trump did back in November twenty sixteen working with him as a governor then, I mean he was courageous during his first term. But this time he's fearless. He's operating at a next level. He's had a different gear. And whether you take a look at things like last Friday signing.
He's had another gear. Just like ending democracy, you know what I mean, He's found a whole nother level.
Real I want the person who's piloting the ship of the most powerful military in the history of the world to be fearless. Yeah, that's what I want him to be. Also, if you notice his hair is pretty wet and greasy, Yeah, that's because he washed Trump's feet with his hair.
Just like the grease from his feet. He actually can't even wash it out anymore. He's like, yeah, I don't know it. He's so greasy. Click back now, I guess permanently. Permanently, but yeah, the obviously people within the administration aren't the only ones who are falling in line. Again, there's always
something happening meta recently we found out, Uh. They also wanted to remind Trump that they are also very ready to bend both knees and bow prostrates before the leader when he pulled when like, Meta pulled an ad on their platform that was critical of the fascist takeover it.
This is a report from musk Watch that quote. The ad links to an online petition which has received roughly ninety five thousand signatures calling for a quote massive public outcry demanding US lawmakers take action against musk and doze before more damage is done. And if you look on Meta's ad library, you can kind of see like why things were, you know, taken off or not. They claim that this ad violated its rules on quote unacceptable business practices,
and you're like, oh, I'm sorry. Like unacceptable business practices, according to Meta, prohibits advertisers from misleading people into purchasing or sharing sensitive information, exaggerating health related benefits, and touting deceptive financial benefits. So the ad must have been rife with fucking lies. Here, let me read it really quick. This was the main text I think that they have.
They were at odds with quote a single individual now controls sensitive US data, risking our national security, urged Congress to enforce strict oversight.
Holy sham man, unacceptable business.
We dodged a bullet. Yeah, what were they thinking? What were they thinking?
So?
Yeah, it's healthy democracy crosses the line. It's just you're over You're touting the benefits of a healthy democracy, and that's just not real, right.
One.
Then the Washington Post also pulled an ad recently too that was critical, So it's oh boy, they're really yeah do.
We what do we think the chances are there's like a free election next time, like.
Like not four years or two years. I don't think it's good either way.
No, Like, there's no way she's.
Not with the shit they're doing. Where if you think you can like kick a bunch of people off these like safety net programs and be like, yeah, then there won't be any kind of political backlash to anyone for this, Yeah, I don't. That's very hard to believe them, Like you'd have to if you're strategizing, well, how do we take
away billions from people that are keeping them alive? Well, then we have to make sure they like we have to nullify their opinion in an election, meaning we just have to do whatever the fuck we can to make sure these people can't vote or we can manipulate the outcomes of it.
Mm hmm.
Just seems like it's worse than people are able to like wrap their mind around at this moment, Like it's just the inability to speak freely, the lining up of every kind of you know, barrier of any consequence, and the complete absence of the Democratic Party at this moment in any like effective way feels a lot just a lot stranger and like further further down the path than
like people. I think people are just like, yeah, well, still got to go to work in the morning, which true, you know, But I think that like.
The trickle that this is, this is because what they're doing, I think is fucking with the economy. So I think that's going to hit people first. This is my theory anyway, right, because it's like firing all of these people with all of these expertise is going to cause problems even if it hasn't caused any problems quite yet, like like like structural problems, right, or like economics like system wide problems, right, Yeah, obviously causing problems for individuals. At this point, we're seeing
that people are people are dying. But I think that, like, I think we're going to get that that's going to hit before we get to the polls and whether or not they respect like the outcomes of the election or somehow try to manipulate those outcomes. I mean it's like if if it's true that like Elon Muskin has little you know, very strange little boy squad have like access to everything, then yeah, what's what's the I think I don't know. It's hard to say if people are gonna
be like, what's the point in even voting? Like why why bother?
Because sure will they have to even cheat when exactly a Democratic party has bet the knee and Trump is like why not?
Why one knee? Why this knee? Right? You should get a double knee? Yeah, yeah, I don't know.
It seems weird.
Weird, seems weird.
I think it's weird.
Yeah, well, I think it's just it's just so hard to fathom that the order of things is completely gone. And I think, yeah, that's just as whether it was just or not, it's just like that's the momentum that's been caring for the last few decades. And to be like, dude, I think that ship's fucking cooked right now. Is it's like kind of like this thing where it's like, well, I need a few more things to make me believe that it is. I know what they're saying out loud
means it's over. But now it's like the ramifications of that are now I think, on their way, and that's when you'll start seeing things like more fucking preventable incidences, whether that's like through negligence or actual malice or just the inefficiencies that come up from doing this thing, because like they're definitely like they run the government like people, you know, like anyone who's worked jobs where people at the top have no idea what other people do at
the company. And then they're like, yeah, they gotta go. And you're like, are you serious, dude, Everything fucking fun. I know you don't think that is an integral part, but I'm telling you everything will fall apart if that person doesn't work here anymore, like everything, and yeah, you know, we're fine, Like it's working fine, and it's just one person. What what how? What could happen? And I feel like there are going to be a lot of moments where
we begin to see that. But I don't know. I was surprised that they even rescinded the termination of the people who were overseeing the you know, red figuring of nuclear warheads. I guess there was a line.
There kind of but I think that they do the thing where they intentionally overstep and then they go back half a step and everybody's like, oh fuck, thank god, right, and it's like we're still not back to where we started, like, and they keep doing that over and I'm.
Wondering, like, what is that supposed to set up? They're like, well, remember when we rehired the people that were in charge of like all the nuclear weapons. Okay, now here's my next my follow up act that makes it seem less fucked up. Yeah, it's it's very hard to tell, but yeah, I mean you put on the news and they're all very much it is. It's like Fox even now more than ever, is truly on board and being like, yes, whatever is whatever, whatever reality is, we're going to say the opposite.
You have trumped arrangement syndrome if you think that it's that we just fired everybody who knows how to access and control the nuclear weapons in this country.
Yeah. God, that was a sad quote too, not even a that that strange relationship between Trump and musk on like just got even weirder on that their handity appearance, because already that like oval office thing felt like again younger person praying on an old senile person to just wait for them to die so they can take all their money and then but also kind of controlling them so their families like, I think that's not the one who's thinking this stuff. It's like, of course it's not.
Your father loves me.
Father loves me and says everything that I say should be respected just as if it were said by him. Are there any questions? Thank you? Moving on, But yeah, that was a very That moment was also one where we heard Musk go off about Trump derangement syndrome and that's.
You haven't even signed your NDA from Christmas yet.
Yeah, Jesus, And when would you be changing your last name? Because he doesn't want you associating with him anymore. Yes, he told he told me that last night when we were in bed.
All right, let's uh, let's take a quick break and we'll be right back, and we're back back. As mentioned up, Tom Mega is mad at Tom Hanks because just because I think they just like have daddy issues and he was everybody's daddy in the nineties. Yeah, and so they're
just going to be mad. But he so he was part of the SNL fiftieth anniversary and three hour special that included the Black Jeopardy Sketch, and Tom Hanks reprised his role as the Trump supporting Doug and in the original, like this one is like remarkable, like the Doug is actually a good guy in the end, seems to be like the twist on the on the sketch is like Doug gets all the answers right and then like like I mean Michael Chase specifically, who like co wrote the sketch,
was like it's kind of a sketch about how like we're all the same deep down, yeah, and seemed like that was still intact. The big joke is that like everybody's like coming together and being like yeah, okay, and Keenan Thompson, as the host character goes up to him, was like I'd like to shake your hand, and Tom Hanks is like whoa, whoa, whoa and instinctively backs away.
So it's like.
We're all the same, but like not really, this guy's still racist, and that was the button of this joke of this update on the sketch as well, and Mega was like Nope, we're not that anymore. We're the winner and we're not racism because Trump won.
Yeah. Yeah, that's how it works. That's how it works. To the to the victor go the immutable defenses against them being racist. Yeah.
I don't know.
I forget how that quote goes. I forget how Napoleon said it, but it's something like that for sure. I love how they truly treated it, Like how could they?
This is it feels like a hate crime, said truth Air Media. They're also claiming that he wanted a landslide. Not true, but even if it was, it would seem he immediately turned the keys over to someone doing a Hitler salute. So just, you know, feel feels in the realm of fairness for a comedy show to satirize one of his followers as possibly being racist.
Yeah no, and not a hate crime. I just fucking also hate that Michael Chaban is like, well, I also kind of wanted to show that it's like, don't do it on long those lines, like maybe make it more about class or something. He doesn't have to be this other shit to be like the mega racist. Might also like no, let's but again, man, you tried, you tried, hey, I will say in that thing, though, Eddie Murphy killed
it with his tracy Tracy Morgan. That was fucking amazing because he had he did the pout Tracy Morgan's pout that he does. I was like, damn, this is where Eddie Murphy, You're like, you're one of the great, so good even though you're reggae music. Not the best Eddie Murphy.
Yeah, all right, real quick, we have the first look at Christopher Nolan's follow up to Oppenheimer. It's gonna be Homer's Odyssey. It will star famous Greek Greek Greek god Matt Damon in the role of Odysseus. That ship just feel, you know in a movie when they're like doing a satire and they're like and as Odysseus, it does like a joke, like and as Napoleon Danny DeVito, right right, But and they released a still a photograph of Matt Damon in costume, apparently taken while sneaking up on him
from behind. He's like kind of looking away, like looking over his shoulder.
It looks like he like a dude who's about to fart in public and just kind of scanning his shoulders real quick to see if like if he lets it go, if anybody all right, And that might be what the Odyssey is about.
I'm not that familiar. I was not a classics major.
Oh I'm just saying I saw this in like another fucking reboot. Really, how far back are we going? Now? How far back?
Now?
Pah?
Is it?
Wait? This helmet though? What's going on with this?
People are mad about the helmet because they said it implies that Maggot is racist, and they're something that it's historically inaccurate because the actual helmets described in the Odyssey are adorned with boor husks. And when you look at the what that looked like they kind of have like cute little top ponies.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, the ponytail, the ponytail top.
Yeah, we've got like a little ponytail top that like kind of streams backwards.
I don't know, those are bore tusks in there, Like so you hear me say bore tusks, and you're like picturing something.
Wild like like Viking, yes, spikey ye, And this is actually just like pretty. It's like very pretty, and like it's something that you could see somebody wearing walking down like a runway in fashion week.
Oh wow, now yeah exactly. The latest from from Balenciaga The mice Inean period collection. You'll love the boar tusk helmets, but not in a Corinthian style. I guess, which is what this other helmet is. I didn't know. I didn't even know. I was like, that's that's Greek mythology helmet because it.
Looks really Roman to me, I don't know, like like what they put on what they put on Mount Damon looks just I think the Romans. Yeah, the Bohawks.
It's a motuation.
Which is they call it like the broom top or something. Okay, and they're like, oh my god, Hollywood's obsessed with the fucking broom generic ancient broom helmet.
What is what is what hair is that? I don't get it?
Is it horse?
It looks straight up like they pulled it off of like a push broom. Oh yeah, thank you.
Look, yes, it looks like they just took it cut of it.
Says rubber made at the bottom.
Okay, that's what I was wondering. Yeah, so not authentic for.
A while, you know, And maybe I personally will grant them a bit of historical inaccuracy if it is a the one the boor tusk helmet looks like offensive, like it looks like it would be it looks like they would play a Chinese gong as he like showed up in it.
You know, but I like how you're You're you don't lack of knowledge around issue. Like, No, it looks like orientalism.
It looks like it looks either like a high pony like it should be worn by like a peloton trainer, or orientalism.
This is either of which is size or orientalism. I don't want it in my homer.
No, in no homer.
Yeah.
No, it reminds me of Gankhis Khan, like not not not historically accurate gannghis Kan, because I don't know what that is. It reminds me of like the weird we're just gonna grab whatever from history king is Khan that I like.
Bill and Ted's would have this helmet on Genghis Khan.
There we go.
Yeah, yeah, which is the only history that I need.
Oh yeah, it is cute.
Though I'm into it. I could rock that it is.
I do kind of love it. I just don't know that it works as the first image of your action hero kind.
Of Jack rocking this helmet everywhere just so he can get the jump on it. I would actually not do this and then be like, oh this, oh you know, just just call swag, just called taking risks, you know
what I mean with my fashion y'all should look into it. Yeah, I mean, Luckily, apparently this isn't like from they haven't actually started shooting, so this must have been some from some I want do you think they were like flying like a weather balloon of like historian outrage to be like, yeah, yeah, they're like because it sounds like he's shooting at like locations that even Homer is referencing in the Odyssey, like goat Island.
Yeah, apparently locations that will be a pain in the ass because goat Island it's not like named that because it looks like a goat head it is overrun with goats, or that is.
Like the sickest island okay in Greece.
Yeah, best island of all time, but greatest island of all time.
This That's what I'm like. I wonder if there's a little bit there where someone's like, all right, Chris, you can go for it. Put the put the picture oft, see what they say, because they're gonna going like that. Yes, histories they know this is some foolishness putting him in that What is this? What period do you think this is all?
It's all the guards standing around Jesus at the cross, That's what period this is from.
Is not the push home moment?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's why it's thrown me off.
Yeah, it's maybe this will be like the early Sonic eyes, you know, the little Sonic. They're like, why would his eyes be that big? All the one solid mass?
Oh his eyes and teeth, wasn't it the teeth that were fucking people.
Up to his teeth he had like little like he looked like an SNL star pre when they get him switched out for Veneers, you know.
Like yo teeth year three vene. I think Alex, I mean especially.
Alec Baldwin called it that. Jamie loft to shout out the great Jamie Loftus has been on that forever. She's been like, wait, let's see who comes back with Veneers because that's who Lauren is. Gambling is going to be a hit.
