Yeah yeah, yeah you're not here, Yeah, yeah, some some good comedy, something something for the mind.

And there you go, you there you go.

Yeah, we changed hearts and minds one joke at a time, y'all. But also above and beyond everything is funny, and it's kind of exactly we'll come through.

You know, it's funny because who's more funny than oppressed people?

But we know how to laugh. We don't time.

You know how to make you know how to make gold necklaces out of lemons, you know what I mean? We know how to go beyond lemonade. Anyway, Jackie, we're gonna get to know you even better. But let's tell some people what are not some people? All the people that are listening right now, we're going to talk about Uh, I just want to check back in with the GP because Congressman Chip Roy he had one of those moments are like he's starting to realize the clownery of his

You can't what the fuck is this shit?

And especially in the time that we're in. So we're gonna delve into that, so we can, you know, take a second to slightly deprogram ourselves of that propaganda we were just inhaling in the nineties. Okay, But before we do that, Jackie was something from your search history that's revealing about who you are, what you're into right now.

Okay.

So I always do a lot of my googling right before bed. It's like doom scrolling followed by any of my questions for the evening. So City of Angels is what came up in my search history last night, Altis More said, do you guys remember she sang that song Uninvited? It was part of the City of Angels. Okay, killer amazing song, very haunting, very gorgeous. Anyway, it was like a really quick reel that I saw last night of her on The Kelly Clarkson Show, and she just she still hits that pitch.

She can do it.

Yeah, she wrote the song in fifteen and it's shut up and so anyway, I just yes, she said I wrote it in fifteen minutes and boom there it was. And so yeah, so anyways, I was like, oh my god, Alana's more set, like I Jagged Little Pill like that whole situation, like loved it. So I was like, I gotta figure out City of Angels and I gotta like find out where I can stream it. So it's a beautiful film. Make Ryan nick Cage. He's an angel, she's a human. It's a love story. So it's it's it's

So I gotta hold on. Let me remind myself of that track really quick.

Yeah, I have a glimpse of it in my mind. And the slow like piano, oh yeah, like he's it's it sounds like leaves falling. I think you're you're right.

On the mind. This one is haunting as fuck.

Yeah, yeah, it's beautiful. Excit, yes, there you go.

Her whole thing. Her voice is still I saw her do jet like most of the Jagged Little Pill, like maybe last year, eighteen months ago.

I would love to see that.

I was blown through. Her voice is like she's kept her voice, yesh, Like it's wild when you can hear somebody what was that fucking thirty years twenty five years whatever since that album came out and then they just rip it like it's fucking ninety four.

Yeah, and it's been so long since I've heard this song. I forgot how good it sounds. Immediately it sounds like powerful, like yeah, pretty pretty quickly. It draws you in and miles because you hear the first thing I thought was like, oh man, this could be a crazy like jungle edit or something under here.

Yeah.

Yeah, but I don't want to ruin the don't want to ruin the vibe of autumn evening. So we'll save that for a lot of time.

Now, we can throw some Reese base on there and like, you know, do some you know predecessors to dub stuff for sure, the Remick flip that one. Wait, so you said you heard the track, like the track was on TikTok or something.

Yeah, she's she's promoting her tour.

She was.

I don't know if you guys seen the Kelly Clarkson Show, but she'll Kelly Clarkson will sing with her guests, and so the two of them saying this.

Track, Oh, I was got it.

I just got all the little goose bumps and I was like, oh fuck, because so many TikTok, Like, there's so many TikTok edits that like, well, like gen Z just like revives a song from.

They're like, yo, like you can edit like hurt Animals, like of compilation to this and make you cry. And it's so funny because every now and then I hear a track, I'm like, bro, I haven't heard that's just since college. But okay, y'all, really I'm invested in this dog learning how to walk again after being hit by car.

You did it, That's that's I just brought it back and I was like, I have to see City of Angels. I remember seeing it in the theater, so like I was like, I've got to see this. We're queuing us up to watch tonight. So okay, yeah, it's uh, it's a good one. I really enjoyed that one.

I mean is I mean I remember when this came out. I felt like this was like kind of towards the end of Meg Ryan's like appearances because like you know, since she took that break. But like, is how is Nick Cage in that in that? I think I saw it when like it came out, But I have no like now that I'm have some experience and I know what romance is. Is he believable?

He's very intense because he's an angel.

I think he's an Oscar winner, and I think that's how he gets some of these roles where you're like, huh.

Well, he's also a copola. He's also a copla.

You guys know that, right, So, like he's killing somebody's always making sure he gets the script, you know.

Yeah, but with all that power, he couldn't get that Superman movie made. So there are limits to that Nepo baby power.

Like you, there's limits, there's lits, but there's still a lot of opportunities. And he's an interesting character. I did like a little walking tour in New Orleans last year, and he loves New Orleans. And he purchased a plot at the Lafayette Cemetery in New Orleans and it's shaped like a pyramid, you know, kind of like National Treasure style. So he's an interesting he's an interesting one.

Didn't have to give back a bunch of dinosaur bones or something like his purchases.

I think he did. Yeah, he had some dinosaur bones. And then he was like identify as Emo something when he was he was getting ready for the Vampire movie he did. He was like, yo, I'm kind of like fucking with this whole dark vibe.

Now, he like lived in a very creepy, very haunted vampire esque place right there, like near Bourbon Street in New Orleans.

And I'm like that you like it for him?

For him, yeah, because it feels like he's occupying his lane. I don't want that in my life. But like it feels like a very like eccentric celebrity thing to do, and if that's what makes him happy, it feels like it's not hurting anybody, like you know what happened to do it? Man?

It's funny though. I feel like the one interior design aesthetic that has me a little bit like I don't know if I can go to sleep in here is like gothic. Oh yeah, I remember seeing like I remember like on like those Zillow Gone Wild type websites I show you just like wild ass houses that are for sale, Like there was one that the interior looked like a vampire's nightclub, and I'm like, this ship is I cannot relax in here?

Like I Yeah, if it looks like the set, you know what I mean? It looks like a set of some sort of like nineties vampire film nope.

Yeah, not gonna chill, not gonna be, not gonna sleep.

My whole esthetic is from dust till dawn. You're like, Okay, that's that's Flag City Jackie. What's something you think is overrated?

Okay, so this is gonna split the room. And I'm a little nervous to say this out loud, but Killers of the Flower.

Moon, Okay, go ahead.

Yeah, I don't know if you guys. Have you guys seen it yet, by the.

Way, I have not.

No, I've I've been actually wait i've. When I saw it, I was like, let me start seeing some First Nations indigenous people comment on it, because I can definitely see the Scorsese vibes, and people are like, oh my god, this white guy, what did he go there? I'm like, who the fuck's being centered in the one I saw? Whoever the language consultant was on the red carpet started dropping some knowledge, but not fully, you know, fucking shit up.

Yeah.

So, just like a bit of background, I actually worked for the Osage Nation back in my urban planning days. Like I'm focused more on comedy now, But I worked as an urban planner. I have a master's in that, and I was working out there, and so I got a chance to see this story come to life in the community and got a chance to like really understand that this is still very much an open wound, still very much a very tragic, awful thing that's happened to

Kapper, I was like, Oh, how are they.

I was like, let's hope they're handling it with reverence because this is a big one. And so I was already just kind of curious how it was all going to play out. But I will say they did consult left and right with community, and so that's huge, the fact that they were working with the tribe and working with tribal members just to put the story together. But that said, it is about the reign of terror and murder of O Sage people and for their head rights.

I was angry. I was very frustrated.

And I will say, Leonardo DiCaprio's character, this is actually the hot take you were talking about on the red carpet with the Osage consultant. I want to pull his name up in a second, because we got to give him credit for what he said. But it just so much centered Leonardo DiCaprio's character, and we could see him wrestling with what he was doing, which was part of a murder plot centered on this one very specific family, and I'm like, why are we giving him this multi

And I'm like, what about the Native people in this?

You know?

And I didn't.

I would love to see Molly. Molly's character have a little bit more nuance and and I just I wanted something different. But again, I will say, I do think it's important to watch the film because there's a lot of people who never heard about the story, who know nothing about it, and this was the first ever FBI investigation, you know what I mean, So like this exactly, and so I think that the acting is amazing. It's it's

It's so heavy.

Yeah, there are those films that are made for audiences that like you're like, that's important for them to understand. But if you come from that community, I mean, it's like that's why man, like Twelve Years of Slave and certain movies like that. I'm like, bro, I mean, go ahead, like, if you need to see it, go ahead, Like I don't need I don't need to be convinced or know even more or a depiction of it. But I get it because everyone, you know, we grapple with our own

Yeah, that was my main concern when starting to see the movie being promoted. You know, the audience reaction of the trailers was immediately, wow, that looks beautiful, Wow, that looks great. And I saw Martin Scorsese. I didn't know much about the film, and then I was like, this seems like this could be very delicate and hard to pull off for a white man in his eighties, I believe. And I and the entire time as I was hearing the reaction to the film and how the hype build up,

I guess, Oh, sorry, go ahead, No, I'm just saying or it feels like it's just inherently hard to make a movie like this, yeah yeah, and pull it off in the way that you need to. Like it's yeah right.

Yeah, but so does that I guess my I guess my misgiving with is like should was he the best person to do it? Or I guess because my whole my whole reaction to it when I first saw I was like, really, Martin Scorsese and that that was That was when I guess. I was like the Irishman fine, but this felt that different for me, and I was like, I wasn't as excited as I thought the hype was, and I was questioning, like why I wasn't getting there right?

I mean, so, so, it's actually based on a book called Killers of the Flower Moon by David Grant, who's a non native person who writes about the Osage murders and the birth of the FBI. But so so yes, so that this essentially is a film based off of the books. So I think in that way, a lot of I didn't read the book, I'll tell you that. But again, I'm not like jumping into reading about these things myself, but I have quite a few friends who

Okay, you know, and.

So you said that, yeah, yeah, so but I get it, like I think probably, And I haven't read any of their sort of the film, the directors, and I haven't read any of what they've said in response to any of some of the criticism that's coming out, but I'm sure they're like, we want it to be real, we want it to be in your face because we don't want to hide the horrors of what this was. But simultaneously,

It was a good nuanced take. I like that.

Yeah, you know, you just split the room because we didn't see it.

I wanted you guys to watch it, and I want to watch it, please, and let's debrief this case.

You need to watch it. Absolutely. I was on the fence and now the fact that you were like, no, it's it's essential. You're just gonna need to take care of yourself. That over the edge.

Yeah, because it's hard I think in general, Yeah, like to see just that kind of untethered violence towards marginalized people, that is that goes unpunished. It's hard to watch that over and over and over.

And then it's like and then Native women on top of that, like we already have, like folks are familiar with mm i W murdered Indigenous women. So this is nothing new, and it's just really hard to stomach. And you know, and also it's three and a half hours long, so do not drink anything before you go in.

Yeah, or we're a diaper, you know.

Yeah, what you got to do?

You know, there's no there's no intermission, it's just NonStop.

Yeah, all right, let's take a quick break. We'll be right back and we'll find out what's overrated and then we'll get some news and we're back. Let's switch gears. We didn't forget about your underrated Jackie. What's something some things I don't know what's something that's underrated.

I think what's really underrated is acupuncture.

Okay, so I'm in that point in my life where I'm having psiatic nerve pain.

What no fun? No fun.

And and honestly, it happened because I just got really sedentary. I started working from home about three and a half years ago, and I stay working at home, so I'm not doing that like active movement, just running to and from the office like I used to. So anyway, I had a really bad flare up and one of my good friends was like, Yo, you got to check out this acupuncture clinic. This woman's amazing. You go in there, you walk out with no back pain, and you, guys,

Like it's such a what's so cool about it that I didn't know?

I don't know the total science behind it, you know, but this is like traditional Chinese medicine.

It is used widely across the globe.

Multiple countries have it just built into their medical systems, you know. But the US is, you know, a little on the fence, probably because they love pharmaceuticals anyway.

Yeah, well did it come from one of the colonial powers exactly?

We don't know if we can trust it, yeah, exactly. But it basically gets your body into a relaxed state. And so like in the beginning, I was nervous because I'm afraid of needles, but you kind of just get used to it after a while, and they'll like put like a couple of pins like like for me anyway, based on what I need in my on the top of my scalp right here, and I swear whenever she pops that in, it's like my body goes m like it just it kind of like powers down in a

Everything's beautiful and I'm relaxed, you know.

And so I just think it's really underrated and I don't hear enough people talking about it, and like you kind of depending on your healthcare. You may or may not have options, but there are definitely community clinics that try to get this tutted more reasonable sliding scale. So I'm sure it's available a lot of places, but I could I couldn't tell you like how surprised I was at how it was able to address like my acute

I need that for my back after I slipped and kicked.

Yeah, yeah, no, Miles, you need that.

I was just gonna say, it's it's so wild you say that I have. I spend a lot of hours in this Batman chair that I'm sitting in right now. And as I was doing the AKA, right after I was done, say, I don't know if you can, guys

It's powerful stuff, and like again like I don't know all this su vices of it. It's basically about energy flow, and it's about basically cleaning up those sort of intersections of energy that are going through our body and some of them are kind of stuck, if you will. And it's really big on like lowering inflammation. Like there's just a lot of people I know who now it's a part of their general health care practices. It's a week

Getting more challenging.

Unfortunately, I take care yourself, unless unless we can find the found of youth, you know what I mean?

Right right?

Or that just means, you know, taking the blood of younger people and then to put it in your body and maybe that works. I don't know if people are trying it.

So, yeah, a couple of bong rips. It's all however you get through your day. It's however you get.

Through yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, the bong of youth. That's what I call it, the blunt of youth, you know what I mean? Who would have known that the secret to long life was in a pack of backwoodsy Okay, let's move on to some news. The GOP. We were just talking about how the habit of tripling and doubling, quadrupling down on this terrible hand of like transphobia and healthcare denial or health access to healthcare denial is like their whole thing, and they keep losing. They're like, no,

One thing.

I want my Republican colleagues to give me one thing, one that I can go campaign on and say we did one anybody's sitting in the complex if you want to come down to the floor and come explain to me one material, meaningful, significant thing the Republican majority has done.

So that's very interesting. It should be noted that he decided to talk with his chest out like that when it was empty. So can't really give you full points there chip for going after your colleagues because you're like,

Yeah?

Yeah.

He reminds me of my dog who makes a huge frust room. There's like a shadow at the door, and as soon as you open it up, she's like, oh, new friend, It's yeah, I don't, I can't. I'm really tired. I so I love to see people being passionate. I just hate to see people being inauthentic. And it's I think that's what's really made the populous like so apathetic, cause it's hard to trust anything in politics. It always

Yeah, well that's not that was more. I feel like toxic mask. I don't want to I don't care, and you fuck with my mask. Oh I'll fight you right here.

I want to pretend to take my wedding ring off because I don't want to hurt anyone exactly like an idiot.

Yeah if you started taking his wristwatch off and doing the whole clear out of my okay, and they're like, oh he's wearing black Air Forces.

Oh oh shit, okay, Oh.

I didn't know. I didn't know. Maybe maybe Mark Wayne is trying to make.

Smokest even just smears it on about to get ready, He's like, let me till.

My hair back really quick, let me take my farings out.

Yeah the.

Baby, hold my baby, hold my baby. But yeah, it's but yeah, this is kind of like what's what it's been reduced to. It's just people getting clips on Twitter and then hopefully they can campaign on that. Meanwhile, like the Democrats don't have to do anything because the Republicans are so bad, so everybody loses because they can just be like because everyone's just like, this is gonna make re election so easy for all the Democrats. It's like, yeah,

Yeah, I didn't know this either. And as someone who I think we've talked many times about like the anxieties of flying on air traveling when you have a pet and you're worried about like it shitting in the airport or whatever, I have committed to never taking my dog on a plane unless I somehow make enough money to like go on a chartered flight at some point.

But may only fly private, right, right, But I.

Was thinking, why isn't there a airline that caters to animal lovers, pet owners or whatever where you can make it. So it's like, no, we're pretty chill about your dog shitting in the eye. We have someone to clean it up. I would pay extra for that.

You would, Yeah, you know that fucking airline would smell like straight.

Up, and that's fine. I don't care. I don't have I don't. I pretty much have to pay like so much money to put my dog in daycare when I like to travel myself. I don't know if they went around to take care of it.

I guess you could make it work if you use like a decommissioned like C one thirty or something like a military aircraft.

Where and limit it too. Don't make it like three hundred people on a plane, like make it very limited.

Or just being like or when you get on, you're like, y'all know what time it is. There's no fucking snacks, bro, this is the bus for your dog to ship on while we go to fucking Buffalo, New York. Yeah.

And also we're not doing we're not doing twelve hour flights. We're doing like two hours, you know whatever, where your dog can handle it. I'm trying to be I'm trying to be practical here, but.

Okay, okay, yeah, yeah, do you have any experience with horses on a with traveling with horses. I mean I knew somebody who was dating like a horse, a horse girl for lack of a better term, a horse. Yeah. You know, like there's like the girls I like, I have a horse and they're like and you're like, and you realize that They're like, oh, that means you were rich as fuck. I didn't. We just thought you were

Her horses like all over the place. And that was the first time I heard him like you can just put them. They're like, yeah, let's how you get them across the country, and like you need your horse to go Again, I'm ignorant of the those things that are all equine, but apparently like this is normal too. There was like a bear cub got loose on a flight to bag Dad if that was like on the internet, where like a little bear club bear cub bear crub bear cub.

Was just wilding out on the plane. And then also like on viet Jet there was a flight where someone an otter and a rat that were smuggling into someone's suitcase, got out.

No, no, man, this is too much. I already hate flying to begin with. If some animal pops up and some shit, I'm out, you know, I.

Mean you can't be out. That's the whole problem. You're just stuck on a plane with these critters.

Yeah, I mean, I can't just open the emergency exit.

Yeah, exactly, you know what I mean, deal with it that way. I mean it would be terrifying. Can you imagine, Because here's what's happening. Right, They're in the plane and they hear clank clank, clank, clink clink.

They're like, what the fuck.

Is that sound? Oh? Ship?

The horse cut right?

Those you don't want to have like barn problems on a plane, you know, the horse got out like that. I I like that in the context of like a you know, like a rural setting, but not on my overpriced flight, because it's our shi It's already too much.

It's too much, it's too much.

And then also like poor horses, Like horses are actually really sensitive, so I'm sure damn horse was having the worst panic attack of its life yet five thousand feet in the air. Very unfair to that point, not.

Even find private.

Yeah, that's that's one of the that that honestly is one of the reasons I don't even I don't think my dog would like flying private. She's that bougie. She would make me drive her like I don't.

I'm not. I don't like resisting getting on the plane when.

Absolutely why do we walking past.

The late flat seats? Why are we walking past these seats the back? Yeah?

Yeah, I don't want to make anyone uncomfortable. I think, yeah, I think I would always could. I will take four extra travel days to like take my dog. Planes freaked me out so much already, Like you said, it's too expensive, it's too uncomfortable. We already dealing with people taking their shoes off. I don't want to deal with.

When you people with the feet. Yeah, I'll take a horse over a foot any day. Yeah.

Oh yeah, I don't need I don't need any of that. Wasn't that an RFK junior thing? Recently he went to like like an airport bathroom without socks or shoes on, like you know when you do.

Someone caught him walking through first class one to the bathroom.

Yeah, so no, thank you? So yeah, I think I think sure, maybe we need to relook at how we're transporting these animals, because that doesn't sound like it would. I mean, how do you get out of that without traumatizing the horse, like.

I mean, give a bunch of horses or something.

Yeah, I mean, well, yeah, I think it's still probably going to be traumatized.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I heard. I heard it was not really for humans at first.

More tranquilizer find it at any concert.

Yeah, right exactly, and now at therapist too.

Yeah, they're like, yeah, it's the hottest rage in l a.

Hell.

Yeah, yeah, I think in the West coast too, like it's you see it up and down. Look, we're people understand the power the things that can be unlocked with psychedelics. Anyway, let's move on to uh, orcas, our brethren in the fight against you know, just just obscene wealth and also

What it is.

You don't want smoke, then don't go near them and then sorry, take a detour.

I mean this is the animals are animal ing, that's what they do. Like people will just stroll up on their territories and get all mad when they can't do their whatever fishing trip or whatever. It's like it's like orcas, it's bears. Like the amount of people who just stroll up on a bear being cute and it's like the

Yeah, well it's yeah.

It's awful.

Definitely like colonize our mindset, you know what I mean, where it's like, what you mean, I'm on this fucking boat, the fucking the laws of nature should conform to my fucking needs and wants and a fucking killer whale. Not today, I will throw a bomb at you when which again, I'm just so glad that it's like they have these places they call them like Orca alleys where they're like, yo, they tend to kick it like in these spots, and so now they're just like just fucking avoid it, you

We love to play that targeted play.

Yeah yeah, yeah, I think it's beautiful though, Like honestly, like the orct have really become the symbol for the underdog, you know, Like it's really like the people who are like, yeah, go ahead and get them, you know, right, Yeah, it's just it's a lot of incredibly rich people who don't give a fuck about the environment.

So true, now, it's exactly that's why it's good. Like apparently, like in these Facebook groups there are people who are like, y'all are fucking really missing the point here, Like it's not about like they're not attacking you, like especially if they're just they're they're playing or whatever, they're not really going after you. But to understand that, just make way for nature, you know what I mean, because we know we don't know shit about the ocean as it.

Is, Like people on a state of the art, million dollar thing are claiming victimhood like they're being attacked.

Well, look, my boat was only six hundred thousand dollars.

Okay, I'm sorry, Okay, you're at the low end of the spectrum there.

But yeah, they call me the broke boy in the young community. But that's okay, that's okay, that's okay. I'll own my truth. Also, I did not know that orchids are technically dolphins. Wait oh, they're mammals right, yeah, largest member of whales and mammals too.

Yeah, so is there a whale family? I don't know.

There's gotta be like now I'm playing myself to like, yeah, they're all fucking dolphins. Uh no, no, because it's whales. See, this is why I have to look, this is I'm trying to be transparent with donnies. I don't know. Look, I don't know.

I don't know about whales either.

They didn't know that the ship was a dolphin, so shout out dolphins too.

I did not know there. But it makes sense though, because dolphins are actually pretty aggressive. They're very smart, very I actually swam with dolphins once, and now that I know about dolphins, I will never do that ship again. Wild ass dolphins in New Zealand right now.

Oh wild, Yeah, I've heard too many videos where like dolphins are kind of like they're violating.

They do violate. There are yes, we don't got to get into it, but yeah they violate.

Yeah, like enough that I'm like, Joe, what the like of that dolphin?

Yeah? Cancel the dolphins.

Yeah, canceled dolphins. I mean not all but hey, we got to be know dophins. No, no, no, no, no, all right, let's take a quick break and.

We'll be coming right back to talk about some new bullshit available on lou Ray and we're back. So just full disclosure off top. I'm a I'm a I'm a I'm a geriatric millennial. You knew that, which means I came of age. You know, with the media of the nineties, eight two thousands, it was all me true lies. I fucked with that movie Heavy, Okay. I thought that ship was action packed. I thought I was like, Yo, they got fucking Dana on the fucking Harrier jet and ship

Lies is coming back. Yes, True Lies.

We love it, we love it, we love it. Like it's just like just such like one of the best action movies, rather than being like this was actually one of the most backwards racist movies of the nineties that we aren't really grappling with because in general, we don't really examine Islamophobia in this country because we've been fed as steady diet of like, oh, yeah, them people, Yeah, they're just the bad guys. Those are called those are

Yeah.

And and these and like the Palesitinians in this film are portrayed as just like bloodthirsty, willing to torture like anyone they come across, because they are hell bent on destroying the United States and Israel. And by the way, like when you watch it, they are like absolute clowns too, like the most incapable people ever, Like they don't they don't have their camera batteries charged when they're trying to show off.

Their basically stormtroopers.

It's yeah, right exactly, which makes it easy, like when they're reduced to sort of like these comedic depictions that Harry can just be like aim, gun at and blast and you're like, yeah, yeah, cool, cool dude, Like I don't even know if that's a person really. And Jack Shaheen, who is the author of the book Real Bad Arabs called True Lies quote perhaps the most anti Palestinian film

Is the full quote there, I didn't even like as a kid, same thing, Miles, Like, I grew up watching this and you know again ten so just wasn't critical of what was happening. But I never attached the Crimson Jihad or any of those folks to an actual nation, like and so I'm kind of getting my mind blown right now, like thinking about like it was it was they were supposed to be Palestinian in the film.

Yeah, and I didn't even know that.

It's just it's really it's it's fucking bad. It's bad. It's bad. And like, even like Fox who put out the movie, they defended it by saying that, like the villains in the movie quote, we don't label them as Arabs or Muslims. That was that was actually a statement from Fox.

Really we just cast them that way, like, yeah, what the fuck the.

Actors are all yeah, like I think that we had some Arab performers in there. They are wearing the kafias. But it's like, sir, is it because you literally didn't say the words, That's how you're trying to make it Like it's such a such a cheap, fucking defense. And so they tried to fucking calm the waters a bit by adding a disclaimer in the film that said, quote, this film is a work of fiction and does not represent the actions or beliefs of a particular culture or religion.

Oh my god.

They were more concerned about the horse in that probably the representation.

Yeah, oh my god, that is wild to say. Literally, we're going to actually ensure that for people who are concerned about the animals that will take that will actually take priority, just in the sequence of disclaimers before we're like, yo, sorry if this was like straight up islamophobic propaganda. But the horses though, just just a reminder of the horse was cared for. Yeah, absolutely, And the dog, even the little dog that he would walk when he would just pull it along on the leash.

Oh right, Oh my god, you're like you're sending me back like I'm trying to try to put Tom in real.

Tom Arnold was in it. Tom Arnold was in it too. He played his like little sidekick.

Yeah, and he had a couple of really good lines though, Like there's this one silly line about how he broke up with his wife and he's like, what kind of sick bitch takes the ice trays out.

Of the free Yeah, she took the ice cube trays. I remember that was like one of my favorite curse words like sequences in a movie. I was like, what kind of see bitch takes the ice?

Miles is ASMR debut yes, bitch.

She was from Tom Marnold fam I.

Remember, remember like there's the angsty teen and she like and he like he hides a little camera in the and then and then she steals twenty bucks from him. Yeah, and she gets on the on the bike with her boyfriend and then she ends up being in that final scene with Dana.

Dana, you do a great job. Honestly, give me the guy, damn page the goddag and.

He's like really rock hard data. Yeah it's a little soft.

Okay, So there is there are some Okay, there are some great lines and they're Okay, this is not.

A defensive film. We're just being.

I'm just getting really missed out. Like my head is just full of these stupid like sound bites from that fucking you know movie, or.

Like when Simon he's like, you're gonna shoot me. I got a tiny dick. It's pathetic. There's like there's that whole ship. There's a lot of again ship that made you laugh. That was that was just sandwiched around everything too, because also Simon's character was fucking grimy as fuck. Remember he was doing what the guy who sounded the dude who's the main character in Sound of Freedom was being accused of was saying, you got to pretend to be my wife on this mission and then coerce them into

Oh my god, you are like taking it back right now, like I am just.

So then when I I put it away forever memories, you know, these memories when I when I knew not of American hegemony, I mean I knew it was.

Bad, and I knew it was stupid, like and especially when they make them all very goofy like the whole like just like when they're trying to have their big moment and then the battery dies in the camera.

Like it to me, I was like, yeah, but again a kid, but this is so silly.

I just looked at the poster for True Lies and it said when he said I do, he never said what he did kind of like it's all centered around his relationship because he's supposed to be like what a paper salesman?

Is that what it is?

Yeah? Oh my god, yeah, I mean it's just wild too, because like when when they were asked to James Cameron he like did not want to take any kind of responsibility, and he said, quote, I just needed some convenient villains. I could have picked Irish terrorists.

Oh shut up, James, but marginalized brown people. That's that was your decision. Yeah, he loves it.

I mean, come on, did Avatar, which is basically yeah, I was just gonna John Smith in the space.

So it's like, I mean he just but he got a blue face though too. That's how dedicated he was to the movement. I think it's also just like whack. Obviously, like we're in such an era to where the like labels of terrorism are thrown around like just basically deployed to discredit people that are in most cases oppressed and

Right, Yeah, it's very cyclical. Yeah, we don't we don't know the difference like what is terrorism, what is what is fascism and what isn't That's been the hot topic reason like Trump can say the most fascist it in the world and then call all this enemies fascists, like there is really an effort to communists. Yeah, yeah, right is China everyone it seems to be not literally like understanding the definition of words is. It's very important, and I think we're using so so so much ability to

I think just Americans in general, like people don't am not I'd say not all Americans, but the concept of like oppression and hegemony are kind of like foreign because a lot of people are like living on this fucking spaceship that is like the hegemonic power, right, Like we're you talking about what that means. They're like, I don't know, that looks bad, like without understanding, like do you this is?

And that's why it's so important to have people from their own communities tell their stories, because you're gonna have someone like James Cameron tell the story and put their funky.

Ass spin on it.

Oh so you know something, you know nav you know, NAVI.

Representation in this.

Yeah, there's someone on Instagram. They're like, I've been here the whole time talking about navvy rights and y'all really just fuck let me out of the conversation.

There's someone who's already learning the Navy language, you know what I mean.

Like, there's someone who's yeah, they're LARPing with the navvy and it's Yeah, it's one of those things where I just like, we we gotta like just James Cameron, like, let's make way for other creators and other filmmakers who have like really compelling stories to tell and are from those communities.

Let's just do that.

Yeah, you know, because I'm just I'm so over I'm just so over it. Like the Yellowstone of it all where it's like someone comes in and like writes these lines and they're supposed to be from this community and it sounds insane and I'm just I'm just over it. But yeah, Tom Arnold was a dumbass in that movie, and it was so funny to watch him just.

Yeah, it was, oh my god.

I mean we used to just scream. I remember, like there was someone in our high school named Dana and we would just be like.

That was That was probably his audition tape for the whole film was probably like I don't know, I can't that was a bad one. No, that was actually okay, But what is what is Arnold Swarzenegger without his allergy medicine? What is? I don't know?

Anyway, that was my best attempt I call you that I can't.
