Probably I just get.
Myself air horns. I'm working. I'm hustling. Okay, I'm doing the sound effects.
For me doing it all. You're in Chicago.
I'm in Chicago.
How's the weather hold there yet?
It was really warm the first day I got here, and then it rained yesterday, So it's good. It's Chilli. It was just the time for me to head out.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, there you go. Yeah, doing good. I guess, you know, all things considered, But yeah, how how was you know? What's what's good? It's been a while. I feel like every time you've been on, one of us has been gone. So it's nice together again.
Got the gang back.
Dad and Dad are back together. They're finally here, my two dads.
That was probably for you guys, right, you guys, didn't you how old?
You're only four years older than me.
But like that show was pretty adult stuff, guys, My two dads, Paul rise Giovanni Rabisi in that that other the guy with the beard.
Yeah, I don't think.
People are utilizing Paul Riser as much as they should be now.
He was great and we need wooplash you've seen. Oh yeah, I love some play.
Some stuff, but I feel like you could have a real comeback in comedy. Yeah, what I mean, Uh huh, I'm sure, I'm Paul Riser Gang.
What was the best thing you ate in Chicago?
Yeah?
Oh, the Chicago Diner is all vegan. I'm vegan, but I eat bad stuff. I became vegan to be healthier, and then I just found Oreos, you know, and being in LA and being vegan is so not good for your health because they have all of the alternatives, but they also have that At the Chicago Diner, it was really really good. It was all vegan. They had like
really great shakes. They had cinnamon buns, so good. I love a place where I can get stuff that I normally can't get anywhere else, you know what I mean.
Chicago Diner is all vegan. Yeah, it does what I would expect from the Chicago Diner. I would expect, Yeah, various meat slurries that.
Yeah. What was the junkiest of the junk food that you had there?
Well, I had the cinnamon roll and then I also had like this like chocolate peanut butter milkshake. That was delicious. It was so good. It was so good. In La there's like Doomies, which gives me that wonderful like soul food type.
Yeah yeah, yeah, terrible.
Cooking for vegans, like bad for you.
That's the one in Hollywood, right, yeah.
Yeah, And then here I think I found the Chicago version.
Jack.
Remember when we go there and get that get the Alpas store burrito that was just smothered in cheese sauce.
Yes, yes, I do remember.
I remember being that was like my That was the first time I was like, oh yeah, you could fuck you could fuck your life up with vegan food bad. Yeah.
Yeah, I'm like probably the unhealthiest vegan I know, and I'm proud to do that.
I have a homie that might be well, we can we'll talk offline. We should do Battle of the Unhealthiest Vegans.
Yeah, it'll be like the hot dog eating Contest for Jamie Loftus, but with vegan food.
All right, we'll probably we're getting get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First, we're gonna tell our listened to a couple of things we're talking about. We do have to of course, recap the GOP debate competition to be the bit like most bloodthirsty seem to be like kind of first front and center.
Yeah, who could be a sub human bloodthirsty war hawk creature?
Yeah, warhog DeSantis' performance man just every find his just lack of like he seems to be allergic to charisma in a way that I find like very mesmerizing.
Oh yeah, I mean I didn't. I didn't put this like in the story. But did you see the like his last comment where he tried to smile at the end.
No, but every every comment he gives he has the deadest of eyes.
Yeah yeah, yeah, because you unsea Homelander, like that picture of him and Homelander trying or those videos of them like trying to smile but like not being able to hide. Yeah, I can't, I can't unsee it.
This one is pretty good because he shows his tongue for some reason, because he doesn't know how to smile.
As your president, I will not let you down, God bless you.
What the fuck he did like a little snake thing with his tongue behind his teeth. He's like, uh, that's how you smile, right, Yeah, that's.
Hows how human's human.
Yeah, just just I'm being lightly electrified.
How much of his time is just spent in the mirror like smile and then like smacking himself on the face, like a single tear like runs down his frozen face.
I feel like he doesn't go to sleep. He just stands and stares in a corner, you know what I.
Mean, or like stares at his wife who's sleeping. It's just like Ron, stop looking at me. He's like, I can't go to sleep. The dead eyes, Yeah, such dead eyes. He's not practicing enough because he's so bad at it. And I don't even I don't even like the idea that he's like struggling with it. I think he's just he's just not he's not practicing how he plays.
Yeah, it's weird to see him try to attempt Trump's like Trump's positions or Trumpion like actions without having any of the charisma of Trump. Like it's really weird. It's like kind of like an experimental control, Like if you took the charm out of it, Yeah, what would it be like?
This is what it would sound like.
Yeah, oh yeah, it's a fascist talking lego man.
We'll talk about Gal Gadot's IDF screening and how that didn't go well. All of that plentymore, But first, Paul of you, we do like to ask our guests, what is something from your search history?
Okay, I this is not like a singular search, but separation anxiety and dogs. What are we doing? How do we help this? My dog ate my kindle like two weeks ago, like how we I'm looking at things as a scientists. I don't believe in just like taking random vitamins, but I will do anything for the dogs. I'm like, pheromones, sure they work. Not gonna look into this, Let's buy a collar, let's buy a diffuser, Let's get whatever the
probiotics that are supposed to calm them down. I'll do anything. Okay, yeah, that's what I'm looking at.
What's the solution? I feel like the last time I thought about it, I remember being at the vet and seeing ads for medication for sever.
But I'm trying to I get my parents now, my Indian parents, who don't think mental health is a thing. I'm like, let's use meds as a last resort. What if you just exercise more?
Yeah?
Yeah, yeah, so my dog, I'm like, mental health shaming my dog?
What is it about Asia where it's like you soft what you need solof?
Like he's like desperately chewing my shoes. I'm like, let's do something else. I don't want to tell the other dog parents.
You're on medication, right, How does your dog know? Like, because separation anxiety implies that the dog is aware the separation is going about to happen. Is it just like picking up on the queues from are you like packing?
Well? Yeah, I pack in three suitcases every time I leave the house. It's separation anxiety for me and my things. No, it's just like once I leave, so I can like do things to make the routine of me leaving less anxiety inducing. Like I can put on my shoes and then sit down or like pick up my keys and like watch TV and like so he gets, you know, trained out of that. But it's once I leave, he's like chewing things, he's peeing, he's pooping.
Oh, so like once you're gone, yeah right.
It's destructive behavior. And he is a big boy. And so the solution is I just take him everywhere with me all the time. Maybe I don't know.
That's any way to do it, but.
Yeah, yeah, No, I'm trying to figure it out. We're great training, We're figuring, we're figuring it out. But that is definitely what I've been searching. I've been looking at videos. That's a whole nother pyramid scheme that's like skincare is like dog stuff. It is wild and I will buy everything.
Yeah.
Oh yeah, Well, anyone ever tried to be like, this is my therapy dog, But it's actually because the dog needs me to be with him at all times, So he has to like come on the plane with me because otherwise he's gonna just shit the entire cargo hold of your plane.
Basically, That's that's how I feel about dogs. I'm like, we as humanity have messed them up, and now we have to deal with it. So let me bring my dog everywhere. Okay, it's not it's not just for me, it's for other organisms. Okay.
Yeah. It's like it's like any I remember, like when my kid was first and trying to figure out ways like how to help sleep or whatever, Like just anything you're trying like that's giving you anxiety or stress or whatever. It's truly like all logic and reason will go out the window. I'm like, I don't know. Maybe this motherfucker on TikTok who has no kids, he tell me what the secret is. But yeah, I totally I get that.
I get that.
You're like, maybe I need to manifest, maybe my dog needs a vision board.
I don't know.
Yeah, I'm like, I've been waving the crystals in front of my child's eyes while doing the affirmations and just not working.
And you won't go to sleep with these light up crystals.
You're waiting like it's a Himalayan salt crystal. They said it has to be lit up. Oh yes, I do.
Happen to be screaming the mantras at the top of my lungs because I'm so fucking stressed out.
You holy and completely accept yourself, You holy and completely accept yourself.
I should Yeah, it's a yeah. I just like to throw my type A all the type A facet's my personality at the problem, no matter what it is. You know, we love that my child has anxiety? Okay, spreadsheet time? What is something you think is overrated?
I have to go to this conference and like, why do I have to wear a pantsuit? You know? Why can't I go in? Who cares if I'm in a onesie, if the science is sound, you know what I mean? Like, why do I have to I don't want to wear they need to. We did remote work. Everybody's chilling out. Let's not put dress codes on professional conferences. It's professional care. We're talking about stuff, you know. And also, I gained a lot of weight, and I don't want to buy a new pantsuit.
You know, I just can't suit.
What are you gonna do? Or you just do the thing? You leave the tags on, use it for the one thing, and then take it back.
Here's the thing is, I know I'll destroy it, so like I I can't count on, Like I can't be the girl that's like, oh I'm going to return it because I'm the girl in the sitcom that drops like red wine on everything right right, I.
Can't yea, I fell into into another thicket of bush.
Yeah, very bramble.
It's like the cloud that rains on you, but it's blueberry brambles only popping up around you. That is one hundred percent Like that is how my fashion choices were made. For a long time, I was like, would I be upset if I fell down and just and like messed this and tore a hole in my pants, Like I feel like it.
If we let go of the idea of like formal work attire in certain like context, I'm sure majority of people being like, like, we're all off this ship, right, Like do you give a Like I'm sure, especially with like creative fields or even I'm sure when the sciences, like people like probably not as concerned with their like what their fashion is like to your point about the science or.
No, Yeah, so that is true when you're like in lab doing research. Like sometimes professors think it's like if they see you in the same out fit two days in a row, they're like, Oh, they didn't go home, they worked all night, that's great, Like it's really messed up. Or like if you take time as like when women like take time to do their hair and makeup, people are like, why do you have time to do your
hair and makeup? Like you should be working, Like it's really like misogynous and weird too, So it can go too far in the opposite direction. But at conferences, you do have to like have some sort of professional attire scientist. Yeah, it's like it's actually like conferences are a huge buckfest for scientists, like they are corny as hell because like this conference, for example, it's gonna be like thirty to fifty thousand people in neuroscience like all at this one conference.
And so it's like a good it's like a small city, like thirty to fifty thousand people.
Wow, yeah, where is it being held?
I It's in Washington, DC. They're at convention centers. Yeah, yeah, you know Washington. But that's a lot of people to just that's a lot of people. And then people are like corny for others scientists, and so they like see their work or like they get drunk science exactly. I've said that before. I've one hundred percent said that before.
Jack, That's amazing.
Wow.
Yeah, all that being said, we do appreciate you, you know, following our dress code of business casual for Daily's guest recording. Yeah, and by business, that's a fascinator. We do ask that everybody have a fascinator, some sort of fascinating.
Yes, exactly, some manner of stolen jewelry from another far away culture exactly.
What is what's something you think is underrated?
Okay? I am in my thirties and I love staying with my friends in other cities. Like when I travel for comedy, I like, but I'm learning, Like my boyfriend is like I'm almost forty, I'm getting a hotel room and I'm like, no, let's stay with friends. We get to like wake up and have breakfast with them and like hang out with their kids. And it's like a sleepover for adults.
You know, Yeah, I love it. I think we need to.
It's community, it's you know, I.
Kind of I'm kind of on the side of your boyfriend, but also I like it's it is fun. It's always like it feels good to be like to wake up in like a friend's place and just kind of start there. But my whole thing is when I take your ship, I don't want to have people being like yo, is he still taking this ship or being like yo, bro, like the one bathroom in here.
People got to accept you for your ship.
It's not even me. It's like for me, like I love I need my own bathroom, you know what I mean? You need friends who have a Starbucks their house so they can go to the Starbucks exactly, You're gonna like that up.
I need my beidat and your main be your main bedroom, the bathroom off that if I could just borrow that for the afternoon.
I just like, you're sleeping, and I'm.
Like like listing all the ways your terrible house guests disgusting in your home.
Yeah. Sorry, man, I'm just gonna utterly fuck up this bathroom. And I'm sorry I.
Invited thirty of my closest friends to have a chili contest in your home.
I don't mind.
I borrowed your wife's bathrobe for the bubble bathroom.
And these guys there, they are real jokesters. We like to put vizin in each other's food and stuff so we could get a terrible stomach prices.
Whatever, Look, we're gonna have a good time. We did have friends stay with us when we were living in San Monica, and our toilet completely like fucked up, and so we had to like keep going to the Starbucks like that was the only bathroom that was like working.
Oh I've done that.
I've done that in someone's home before. I have to tell you this story. It's embarrassing as hell. But I was like a kid and my family was visiting their family friends that they had known in India that they hadn't seen in like decades, and we stayed with them, and like I clogged the toilet, yeah, and it literally caused house damage, like it like my dad was trying to unclog it, and like this seal broke and it leaked and taking through the roof and it was so
it was the worst thing the world. And it all came from a small child.
Well at least I was like younger.
Yeah, I was young.
I just realized. I think your story just made me realize that I had like a formative experience at a Halloween party when I was in fourth grade.
I saw your eyes go black for a second, and I was like, what is happening?
Yeah, warned one of the dead people from the Crossroads video.
I remember it was a Halloween party for this girl, Daniella, and we was like a costume party and this is I'm a pretty yellow Party'll give you Daniel. Yeah, I fucked her bathroom up so bad. The toilet was clogged. I could not unclog it. And then like the games were starting, so I had to abandon my post and go out there. And then like everyone was like something's wrong with the next like focal point of the party is like something's wrong with the toilet like breaking, and
I was like, oh, ship, that's me, that's me. That's me. That's me. Right, So I think, God, God, thank you. Just you just knocked a memory loose. You know what. I'm a caller. I'm a caller and work this out to.
Make a miss.
But for people whose toilets, yeah, exactly.
Like reach out during your expector to be like, Miles, what are you talking about. That's no problem. She's like, Miles, you can't unfunck up that toilet.
Okay. She's like, you know, my my parents had to move from that house, right traumatic And she's like, also, why you bringing this up? Like we've been friends since then.
I'm like, sorry, amazing. Well yeah, but to your point, adult sleepovers wonderful can be truly wonderful. You really, It's just like, I don't know, it's a UNI. Every hotel is like fairly similar, whereas you get a completely unique. It's like that part in the rehearsal the Nathan Fielder Show where he like goes to that house. He's like, everything here is like so perfect. You couldn't like recreate
this with the greatest work of art. And he's just like looking at the way they like leave their shit around, right, and it's just like that's the most beautiful work of art. Sometimes it's like, yeah, it's particularly humane human thing.
Seeing how people live or like raise their kids or play with their dogs. Like it's just like being in their life. I feel like is more like intimate than like going out to a restaurant and meeting up and all of the conversation winding down at the predicted amount of time.
Right.
Yeah, Yeah, it's fun.
It's well because on the other on the other side of the coin, I love having people stay with me. Yeah, Like I love it because then I get to like, you know, my love languages come out, like I'm all about acts of service and shit like that, So I start cooking and doing those kinds of things, and so like when you experience that on the other side too, that's also a nice way to like kind of remember like that you have a bond with people too, so and you're not going to get that at the hotel buffet.
Right, And I do when I go to their house, I do order room service and to be served to me.
Yeah, you're like there's not even a menu, what do you mean?
Dropping towels outside the bedroom door.
Yeah, sorry, where's the comment box?
Yeah?
Where where do I leave some feedback for you?
You have to post it note on your door last night before you went to sleep that said two eggs, benedict and discresso. What was that? That's what I'll have in the morning.
Yeah, and uh, we're going to be sleeping in, so if you could just like kind of bring it in quiet.
But hushed, hushed, hushed, but bring it in like I don't want it to be cold, so like, let me notes there, but don't fucking wake me up.
They start getting into it. They're like, where's my tip?
I'm like yeah, they give me a bill. I'm like, damn fucking forty seven bucks?
The fuck is this?
You're like, well, there's a service fee.
All right, let's say make a quick break and we'll come back and talk about the GOP debate and we're back.
My god, my gad, oh my god. The GOP debate Wednesday night was a fucking fever dream of hawkish takes and violent fantasies. I would say, I will just start off by saying nothing of substance was really said. The only thing that I was like, oh that's different is was when Nikki Hayley realized that being anti choice is a political loser, so she basically softened her stands up on the stage and was like, look, some people are gonna be pro choice and that's okay, and some are
pro life. But in some states the people have decided, and you know, I don't know if we should keep dividing the country. Yeah. I was like, oh shit, okay, look at some somebody knows how to look at numbers and say that doesn't work. But it's a low bar for the GOP.
She's working a crowd too.
Well.
She did well at the last debate too, and I'm like, uh, don't be fooled.
Oh yeah, well now I'd say everyone now is like it's the the the I feel like the consensus take is now starting to be that Nikki Haley is the closest one to getting.
But which like, as an Indian, I just love that Nikki Haley probably like Nikita or something. I don't know what her last name is.
You know her name is Nimurada.
No even it's not even a k No, this is her name.
It's Dadawa? Is her? Is her? Like? I think pre marriage.
Name only I'm only referring to her as that from now on, Okaytata okay, miss Nimrata Hailey Randawah, okay, miss run Dawa. She and between her and the vague, like, wow, the representation we get is terrible and I'm really upset about it. But you know what, we're out there, we're at the forefront. We're attempting to be white adjacent. Good for us, you know what I mean, Like, good for
us throwing our own people under the bus. Good for us for throwing poor people under the bus, the women, other people of color, marginalized voices, as long as ours are.
Heard, you know, as long as I'm protected.
Yeah, as long as yeah, I'm protected. Wow, it just you just get secondhand embarrassment. You're like, this is not what our people are supposed to do. I'm know what you're wanting. Just like also the fact that they're in debate and that so many of my brown friends were in debate club that also hurts. You know, it's very painful.
It's all coming together.
She does seem to be the best at it. She's she's pretty good at debate. And Lanny he seems like he's like too good at debate and like everybody just like ran out out of little Ramswami was just like debating.
He just seems like a narcissist who just keeps talking like it's not really clever because people so clever. He'll like, he'll contradict himself and the thing, and someone will point it out and he's like, yeah, but that's not the point of It's like, okay, just steamroll first one of the first before we get into outright hawkish policy, let's
talk about domestic policy. Ron De Santis was saying that, well, I guess this does his foreign policy because he's promising to shoot people dead if they're drug dealers.
We're going to authorize the use of deadly force. We're gonna have maritime operations to interdict precursor chemicals going into Mexico. But I'll tell you this, if someone in the drug cartels is sneaking fence and all across the border when I'm present, that's going to be the last thing they do. We're going to shoot him, stone cold dead.
Wow.
That freeze frame at the end, he does like, yeah, his energy is class like teacher's pet saying I know you are, but what am I after? Liked he called them an ass kisser, Like he's just like, is that what you think? Well, you shoot you dead?
Yeah?
So yeah, I want to say stone cold Steve Austin did not approve that message. Okay, he's not into shooting people's stone cold dead. That was his move, right, just shooting people, shooting people.
You got the stone cold stunner and then the stone cold shoot you dead.
That's wild that he was like, we'll just shoot you Like, like what what what have we become?
What it's going?
Yeah, this is an official what have we become?
This gardner is an official Miles Gray. Oh so you're a tough guy.
Huh the exact, but got it wrong. Okay, let me here, Hey, let me give you a shoulder, let me get hey, you need your tests anyway.
So but again I think eyes like just everybody needs to go watch this clip just because I don't know, there's somebody subtly uh just off, like just charisma allergic,
dead eyed. I was covered up his mouth while I was watching that one, just like see and his eyes don't change at all, Like the whole time, he's just dead behind the eyes, regurgitating something you know he doesn't believe in or that he's like maybe he believes in it, but he's like rehearsed it too many times, so like the words just strength.
Yes, it really it really does feel like that a lot of these debates, depending on when they are, they're trying to get the better ratings than like the genocide that's happening right now, you know what I mean, Like they're trying to just be like more bloodthirsty and more violent than that because they think that it like views matter, because I think that's why people care about the other issues.
And it's like, no, it's like people care because people are dying, not because of like wanting to picture violent threats. Like that's not the point.
Yeah, but that's completely the assignment that they believed that they received because this whole thing like this is this basically is just an audition, right to see who could out Trump Trump, and all the candidates just basically took that as account challenge to say, like who can say the most vile, unhinged shit. So another thing, Ronda Santis.
I'll stay on Ronde Santis because they started getting on the topic of anti Semitism, and I use scare quotes there because they're talking about it in the context of like students being at rallies calling for ceasefires and things like that. Yeah, DeSantis did his best to conflate being anti genocide with you already know this playbook. But here's Rond de Santis being like, you know what, if you want to if you want to talk that mess and you're a you're a foreigner. Here he goes, I was.
The first presidential to say, if you are here on a student visa as a foreign national, you're making common cause with Hamas. I'm canceling your visa and I'm sending you home.
No questions asked, What does that even mean?
That's right, we want this country to stay a dumb ass country.
If we don't.
Want any students to feel protected here, we want to send you back to another country.
Oh, you're trying to make this place a world of more humane place, Well off you go. This is not the school for you.
And also, just like such a specific lane that he's trying to or like specific like thing he's trying to stand on is like I was the first presidential candidate to call for if somebody is here on a student visa, right specifically says the following five words in this order, we need to file a reverse visa on you know, like it is just like okay, man, like, yeah, you're but that's really nailing it. This is the turning point for your campaign.
Fun fact about Ronda Santas, he was the first presidential candidate ever.
Oh god, I'm the first presidential candidate to really act dumb about my involvement and interrogations at Guantanamo Bay. There's also that too, but hey, look, Ron, you.
Got presidential Yeah, I'm the first presidential candidate to put hit out on Nickey Mouse.
So then, because this has kind of been like the mainstream conservative take, which is like, dude, if there's students here on this like ceasefire, shit, they're out of here. That's just that's just what it is. Tim Scott also tried to uh kind of hit that point too, but he probably actually did it more eloquently than even Ron DeSantis did. Here's right, here's Tim Scott also saying the same thing about students who are being you know, the human I'm really sticking the land.
Because even then, there was a rise of anti semitism on college campuses. We must force the people off those campuses, and thank you.
Let me, let me turn to the governor out of our country.
Oh my gosh, his fake girlfriend won't let him finish, and either well the debate or did.
You know the girlfriend was real? The girlfriend?
But how much was she paid?
How much was she?
I know, I know, I know. I was like, it looks like you.
Yeah, he talked about that yet on the show that Tim Scott is like he for a long time he was an a valid virgin and then now he's like, I I actually am not, but like that's only your business.
Oh my gosh, the Jonas brother's betrayal, but by Tim Scott.
Yeah, and then he's like, I have a girlfriend, but you probably don't know her. So she didn't go here, shouldn't go here. But she's like.
Really cool, she's like really popular.
But I did not know that he had like revealed the picture.
Yeah, it was after it was like this week, right.
Yeah, he was holding a blonde woman's hand, which I think is them doing. I guess that's a hard launch soft whatever, it's something. It's a gear for her for sure, So I'm not going to knock her hustle.
I will say, for the point of go back to where you came from. From all of these Republican candidates. Are you telling like Yakub from Brooklyn who is settling in Israel to go back to where he came right? Right?
Right?
Is that what's happening? If everybody is going back to where they came from. Yeah, we got to be consistent.
Don't ask such a ridiculous question. We see the direction this is all going in. No, it's just anyone who is speaking out against you know, imperialism and the US's continued role in horrific acts around the globe. But we can't have people like that talking that spice over here, and we can't.
Have anybody talking spice. That's why they want to send all the Indians back?
Is mayonnaise speak of which Nikki and Vivek they had some of the wildest things to say when it came to what is happening in Gaza right now?
Adim edictorian of worst person ever.
Yeah, Nikki Haley, this is just this is her about her. She she had a moment to speak with Benjamin attan Yahoo, and this is what she said was happening.
Ambassador Haley, what would you do? What would you be urging?
Prime Minister Benjamin Nett and yahoo to do would you consider humanitarian pause?
For example, the first thing I said to him when it happened was I said, finish them, finish them.
And the reason is I worked on this every day when it was at the United Holy shit, dude, this ain't mortal combat, Nikki.
I know the Finnish fucking disgusting.
I'm sorry, like this is it's my.
Whole seed is dead children, and like these people are just using it for material. It's the worst in humanity.
It's it's to see then, like to say something like that, like that is completely disconnected from the reality of like the death toll of innocent People's like, yeah, finish them all of it. Just fuck it over. Who cares? These aren't people Like it's so it's so apparent in their words. It's it's really unnerving to see this happen. Consit like every day we're hearing this from politicians. Ramaswami also had a thing, but he was also using this opportunity to
come at the Canadian well. First he said he wanted to build a wall in Canada, but then he turned this into a sort of like anti like anyone south of the border type take. I would tell him to smoke those terrorists on his southern border, and then I'll tell him, as president of the United States, I'll be smoking the terrorists on our southern border. That's his responsibility, this is our responsibility. That's how we move forward.
But I wanted, Wow, he was waiting for he was waiting for the crowd to come in and cheer for that, and he was.
Nothing cadence where you're like.
Yeah, like tries again, like I'm gonna keep going. And that wasn't a clapline. That wasn't that wasn't meant to be a dismount where you guys all cheered and carried me off stage on your shoulders. That was just normal. This is normally how people.
So the vague another disagreement that he has with his doctor. Why first it was the vaccines, now it's smoking. You shouldn't be doing that. Okay, that's bad for your health.
Does you know about this? Yeah? So this that was just kind of the tone of the entire night. And then you're just left with like, it's funny when they did, like I think on CNN they've had like the same group of voters in Iowa or they've been asking every debate like okay, who won this, Like what side are you on? And like Nikki Haley they like they were like, yeah, yeah, yeah, I think her. I think her. Majority of that group thought Nicki Haley won. But at the end of the day,
I don't know, I don't know who was. I don't know how how that's gonna happen, because it seems at the end of the day it's just all Trump.
They also argued about TikTok, right, and he was like, your daughter uses TikTok and she's like, keep my motherfucking daughter's name mouth.
Yeah, she was pressed because you could tell she was pressed because she didn't even get the saying keep their name out of your mouth. She'sa liked, keep my daughter's name out of your voice. And then she.
Said out of your voice and she was like, you're just gum.
She quoted Will Smith before he smacked.
That's actually him and Nan Yang, who is who she draws inspiration from. Actually a weird combination the diagram. It's very straight.
Yeah it's Haley. But yeah, that was like he had that kind of like one of those moments too, where it's he was like confused, like how come other people get to say stuff, but I can't. It's like, no one likes you, dude. It's like those kids, like I'm sure this happens with comedians, where like they try and be edgy or to like make jokes that just don't sound right yea from them, and they're like, well that
dude does joke. They're just material like that, Like I don't see the difference, Like you have a completely different energy and you're just you don't. It doesn't work because.
Because you're racist. Bro, Yeah you can't say that because you're racist.
Okay, but the black comedian could talk about it.
And I can't use the word.
Oh okay, I didn't know.
I didn't know. Okay, I can't talk about equal rights. Geez, oh my god.
That's exactly what the fuck someone like that? Oh right, but we're all equal, right, okay, Alright, my flight to Austin is about to bore, so I.
Gotta go going up on Rogan's Club tonight.
Yeah exactly, how did you know?
All right, let's take a quick break and we'll be right back. And we're back. We're back. And as we mentioned yesterday on I think yesterday's trending, it was announced that gal Gado had organized a screening of Bearing Witness, which is a forty seven minute compilation of Hamas violence filmed on October seventh, basically a snuff film designed to you know, enrage people and get them to stop criticizing Israel.
It feels like, yeah, the families of the victims, who you know, the people who are killed in the videos, are like, please fucking stop this, but they don't like that. That's not what this is about. They're not here to honor the lives lost. They're here to promote the slaughter in Gaza. Essentially feels like what this is about.
Yeah, there's also it's just wild that like most people can just hear about things that are happening without having to see graphic depictions and know where they end up with things like I can read about what's happening and say, oh, yeah, that's that's awful. Uh, But it's like, but do you
know how bad is? You need to watch this? It feels again because it feels like the tide, or at least a lot of sentiment is like now people are just seeing indiscriminate bombing, watching a bunch of displaced people, children whoever, human beings and it's like, Okay, we need to deploy some kind of shocking piece of media to
try and like like rebalance the scales. And it just feels so fucking cynical to like cheapen the to cheapen like the deaths of these like these people who died on October seventh, to use that in service to justify.
More death is so obscene that Yeah, and a lot of the people, like some of the people that like the next day or like right after, who had family members who died, We're on tape.
Like saying like, don't use this as an excuse to indiscriminately bomb, and the family members don't stand by it.
So it's just like incredibly disgusting that they because the kibbutz was like a very like peaceful commune type place, right, and a lot of those some of the hostages were like peace activists who were interested in peace with between Israel and Palestine, and we're actually like helping like victims of the Israeli occupation, So like those people obviously don't want that to be the result of what happened to them, So it's just disgusting and also like gal like that
it just like gives me the idea of like how much of a bubble they are in, Like these celebrities are in at the same time that they're not right, Like they're getting they're getting the prompt to do propaganda and promote propaganda from somewhere, but simultaneously they like don't understand like that the tides are changing and that they're there's five hundred thousand people out in England like protesting, you know what I mean, there's people hundreds of thousand
people over the world who can see what's happening, and so like putting up these images of bodies is not going to take away the images of the other children dying in Gaza, you know, like it's gross.
Yeah.
I will say one one more lighthearted thing that I saw with regards to this is that the Anna de Armis updates. Twitter posted that Academy Award nominee and movie star Anna de Armis has unfollowed a former IDF soldier and attempted actress Gal Gado on Instagram, and everybody was like, attempted actress.
Yeah that yeah, And I think, you know, like to your point about people demonstrating for people who are old enough, we saw this pattern play out on nine to eleven. Nine to eleven is used as justification to kill countless people and destroy an entire part of the earth, And a lot of people are old enough or have the wherewithal or hindsight to say, holy shit, like we just got fucking swept up in all that and look what
the fuck happened. And I think a lot of people are old enough to say, can't do that shit again, because that was fucking terrible, and it not only caused a bunch of terrible things in the United States with Islamophobia and racism, but also the innocent people that lose lot, like we're losing their lives in Iraq, Afghanistan, et cetera. And so it's really weird when you see like the government try and use this same playbook and then they're shocked when people are like, yo, like that is tragic.
What happened is tragic, absolutely, but we're not going to use this as a springboard to take just numerous more lives, Like that's just not happening. So there's also like this weird you're like seeing it like with politicians or like they don't even know what to do. They're like, what the fuck? This Usually like.
Works like if I just say stuff like we're gonna get them, We're gonna smoke them, people are like yeah, man, but a lot of people have enough awareness around this in education and perspective to know, like this is absolutely not the way to go about things.
But yeah, here we are doing this like run trying to run the exact same playbook.
Yeah.
I think also social media is like a huge factor too, because back then, like we heard the numbers, but it wasn't like made real by images, which is what they're trying to do with this this movie. But it's like it's too late, like we already know the fallout from it. We already know like the cost and that it's not worth it and that it's unjustified and horrific.
Yeah, but yeah, this is it all. Like I remember too, there was a lot of talk too about people saying like you should, like people should protest in front of it, and then people like you absolutely should not. It's like a trap to try and paint like allie anti semitic, And then that kind of took a lot of Like that, I think there were less people outside, but then even then there were there were demonstrators on both sides, and
that also led to like just softful and shit. People are getting pepper sprayed by the cops and all like, and we're like we're slowly seeing how much this is tearing people apart, just because we can't even get to the part where we're like we're on the same page and be like, yeah, let's stop the like, let's just stop stone the momentum. Yeah, can we stop that? But the best people are saying is like, how about pause? How about a pause? Just pause, then resume.
A lot of people that I know who were very outspoken about and rightfully so, about the tragedy on October seventh, have just gone quiet. Yeah, and it's just like horrific to think about it, you know, like that they that they the tens of thousands of people that have died since then, they just are like, well, I'm just going to go do my stand up shows and do and deal with that and like not talk about anything else.
Because it's so difficult to see. And I mean, like, like I've said this in other episodes, doesn't matter if you're Arab or Muslim or Jewish, whatever like that you can see this and have it just shake you to your core. And remind you of if you're if you come from a marginalized group, how cheap your life is to the perspective of imperialism. And that's that's also exactly,
and it's and it's and it's it's true. It's like can bring up a lot of terrible feelings trauma for people that just in so many capacities, and that's why
it's reverberating in a way that it is. And it's so fucked up to hear people just say like try and reduce that feeling of empathy to oh, you're pro murder of these these people who died on October seventh, and that is so yeah, it's it's so infuriating because to be made to be to try and like fuck someone's head like that, to say that like because they are seeing or understanding what this situation is and opposed to it makes them x Y or Z. It's just
like it's just this like cycle that's like never ending. And I think we always see this when there are moments like this where the topic of oppression comes up and people, you know, some people figure it out, some people learn, educate themselves, and other kind of their default. It's like Oh no, I'm always on the oppressor's side, right, Yeah, that's my thing too.
It's also like not like something we haven't heard before. We haven't been like the Global South, all of these marginalized groups. It's not like we haven't been called savages before, barbarians or animals. We're used to that. We're just we just don't give a fuck, Like it's it's I don't know,
it's just it's horrific to look at. I think that's like what you said, it really hit a chord with groups that have been colonized and have had to deal with imperialistic forces just completely ruining families and culture and you know, yeah, just taking taking hold in places they shouldn't be. So I do think that this people see themselves in Palace Indians and they are tired of it.
Right yeah. But it's just it's like it's so it's again to see the entire like machinery of American imperialism just just go into action to protect like what's happening is like it's it's so it's also like really disheartening too, because you're like, holy shit, man, like so much bigger. Yeah, you can see just how much of how much capital, like literal capital is even behind it too, and we're just brushed aside for asking people to acknowledge the humanity of innocent people.
If this doesn't radicalize you, I don't know what will. Like this is like seeing the like the USA stamps on those bombs and and like knowing that some of the things that were used in Ferguson were made in Israel, Like how how does that not completely shatter your perception of these is like justified?
Yeah, And I mean I see a lot of people too, rather than like they're a lot of people just don't want to engage with it at all, and probably for the fear of like what will happen to their worldview. They're like it was much more comfortable when I could just be like, yeah, there's like a part of the world where things are kind of like bad, but like things will always be bad, So I just want to keep my focus here and not really think about anything
like that. And it's sad because you know, with the way our world is evolving or devolving, like with climate change and things like that, there will come a time, maybe it might not be in our lifetime, where there is going to be a need to acknowledge the humanity of other people and to move from that, to move from that position rather than being like, well, who's this person? Are they expendable? Is this just the tragedy of war or whatever the fuck people want to say to excuse it.
Yeah, but yeah, yeah, I think it's happening more and more, Like I think I think it's I think it is going to be in our lifetime. I think it's already happening in our life time.
I mean it is. And we're also turning a blind eye to people who are displaced by climate change also, but like, and we also see it in the form of how we look at immigration. We're like, I don't know why they don't stay there, just because we completely destabilize that place fucking forty years ago. I don't know
what their problem is. It's like we're still there's a lack of acknowledgment of how all of this is interconnected because solely because you know, people want to or at least you know, a lot of people want to absolve themselves a feeling that there's there have anything to do with it or that.
And that's why I will smoke them on our southern border and yeah. Moreover, why is nobody cheering for that?
I said, smoke them?
Also smoking is fun? Wow? Fuck? What do I say?
But the tobacco lobbyists are like, yeah, keep.
Going, Yeah, keep going.
You got this, you got this, you you got it.
Well, Paula, such a pleasure having you on the show as always. Where can people find you? Follow you all that good stuff?

I'm trying to get everywhere. So if you join my mailing list, which is on my link tree, which is everywhere, then I can plan for shows in your cities and be able to come to where you are. So get on there.
Amazing.
Is there a work of media that you've been enjoying?
Okay, do you guys know Matt Lee?
Yeah, of course you know Matt Lee, one of our favorites.
I love Matt Lee. He's been doing very funny videos, which I think are important. I do think it's important during this time to recognize that Jewish allies are some of the most outspoken at the forefront of being anti Zionist, anti what Israel is doing. And I think he makes very funny videos that kind of are from the perspective of like his character someone who is like a pro Israel person, but it's very like self effacing, very Yeah.
And so he has like a video about how to criticize Israel correctly, and it's basically like there's nothing you can do to do it, but yeah, it's really fun. I don't know if you want to play that. I just sent it in the chat.
I an American Jew, am going to tell you how to correctly criticize Israel without being accused of anti Semitism. Here are some don'ts. Do not overstate your case. Don't go thrown around the word apartheid state. Apartheid only ever happened in South Africa, and you can't use that word again. You can't just keep using words. Call it something that is correct, like a kerfuffle, you know, just be like ouf they go, Hey, do not mention the Palestinians or
the occupation. Okay, if you want to talk about problems in Israel, talk about how there's a lot of straight cats and how the traffic's really bad. Do not throw around the word genocide, you guys just throw it around like it's just nothing. Do not support a one state solution. If there was a one state solution, Israelis might lose their demographic majority, and that is literally genocide.
Do not support a two state solution. Do not support a solution.
Well you think you got all the answers, you're self smart.
He's be't posting regularly.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, but that was the first one that caught my eye. I thought it was really funny.
Yeah.
Do you see the other one? He was like talking about like an ally ship and he's like Mike Graham, He's like he's like and for black people, like you got to know, like we've been with you, like my grandfather's friend marched with civil rights activists in the sixties. Just like he's yeah, it's a it's interesting too, because like it's it's sort of like an almost answer to like the kind of stuff Brett Gelman has been like posting.
Yes, yeah, it's like all it hits all of the talking points of like self victimizing people that you feel like you would are unable to address if you're not like Jewish, you know, so he like he he eviscerates them like each one of those points.
Oh no, Brett Gelman has been posting like wild oh Jack, Oh.
No, oh you don't know Jack, Jack.
No, No, he makes gave me a.
Shumer look like like a peace activist.
Jesus Christ.
Yeah, his stuff is wild.
It's it's like it's hinge. It's it's not it's not even of this reality.
It's it's really like singing weird stuff. It's strange. It's definitely like I hadn't heard the progressive until Palestine phrasing, and then I can apply it to so many people. Now I'm like, oh my gosh.
Right, that's the last Like, hey, I was I asked. I took the train in twenty twenty with you guys. But I'm gonna get off here.
Yeah, yeah, been great knowing you. Thanks.
It's wild. But Matlee's hilarious.
