We showed up so late that it was like it was comically late, like nothing was hot, like it was dead, and we're like, oh,

we completely fucked this up. But anyway, yeah, yeah, yeah truly, And like the like the like local sheriff's department display that was like, Okay, I guess we're gonna pack this up. They're like there's some potato salad left, Like you get.

One of those stickers. The badge stickers that they give me the cop babies first copaganda?

Speaker 3

Yo, did you do you get those for your kids?

Speaker 1

At Yeah, anytime there's like a public you know, or you know, carnival or something like that, and there's a cop there, the cops make a b line for the little boys and they're like, hey, you want a little you want a badge sticker? Right, and then teach kids to be like a cab, A cab, A cab? Good the fuck out of here?

Speaker 3

Hey, what what do we say to police or what do we ask police when they ask you questions? You say, are you an upholder of white supremacy and oppression? And what? Kid? Here? Just never mind? Take this pencil instead?

Speaker 2

Uh?

Speaker 3

But yeah, how was yours good? Bless?

Speaker 2

Yeah, it was good, It was good.

Speaker 1

We have a friend in town who is one of my friends who plays the ukulele and like plays bedtime songs for my kids and it's really lovely.

Speaker 3

Is that why you were asking how easy it is to play ukulele?

Speaker 2

Yeah? Yeah, how wailing on that thing?

Speaker 3

You're like, dad learned a little couple numbers to last night. Kids just start crying because it's so bad.

Speaker 1

Yeah, man, spent a lot of time on a local college campus, your u c l A college.

Speaker 2

Yeah, just hanging out, just see the sites.

Speaker 1

You No, our seven year old is like involved in some courses there, and so okay, all right, we're there five five hours hanging out. So as walking the cat like one of them was just like his you know, he's into chess and so for two hours he's like doing this chest thing. And I was just killing some time, just wandering the u c l A campus, listening to the book that we're talking about in our expert episode. Oh yeah, yeah, the Richest if you if y'all want to go check it out early.

Speaker 3

Yeah maybe already maybe already up on it.

Speaker 1

Yeah, but it's uh yeah, I don't know. But what a campus man holy ship on a campus.

Speaker 3

I was so not focused on anything to remember being on that campus. It's a bit of a tragedy. I know, you could have watched, You could have walked those same paths I did while smoking a cigarette covered in hash oil, and security would ask me, hey, hey, what are you doing?

Speaker 2

I got it was this guy? Was this guy? Yeah?

Speaker 1

A lot of you know, I was also smoking a lot of ripping a lot of cigarettes, and I was told multiple times U c l A is a tobacco free campus.

Speaker 3

Now yeah, wow, lots changed since hot seven when I graduated.

Speaker 4

Yeah.

Speaker 1

Man, yeah, able to walk around ripping a camel Oh yeah.

Speaker 3

Just suck one down outside of Royce Hall. Fucking amazing.

Speaker 1

Oh that was one thing I meant to look up because I kept seeing people retweeting like images of cigarette night from Disneyland, and I couldn't tell if it was like real or not a cigarette a cigarette a night for Yeah, it was like in these like art installation they were like little you know, features that would have various characters swimming through cigarettes or like, you know, enjoying cigarettes.

Speaker 2

I'm assuming it was a.

Speaker 3

Bit but oh wow, dude, I just googled it and there were so many articles Is it real? Like what the real truth about it? And they said it's not real but not real?

Speaker 2

Damn.

Speaker 3

Yeah.

Speaker 2

Fifties were a crazy time.

Speaker 1

I mean there were real commercials with at Flintstone talking about how smooth camel cigarettes were or actually I think it was like Winston.

Speaker 2

Of course they had to be, yeah, I had to.

Speaker 1

Anyways, should we tell the people what's something that we think are overrated?

Speaker 2

Underrated?

Speaker 3

Yeah, there is.

Speaker 2

There something you're you're itching to get off here.

Speaker 3

Sure, because we were talking about last episode and when they were on Doctor John was talking about apple latch, Ego, apple latching, lunch, brunching a jar, sipping, sipping, and I vowed, I said, I am going to find this ship. John was like, You're not finding that ship locally, like you have to order it, and I'll yeah, watch this, I'm gonna go to three places and then after that I

will call it quits. Yeah, the way I could not find this ship, and also how confounded people were at various liquor stores and alcohol, you know, purveyors of alcohol, like nobody knew what the fuck what fucking time it was.

Speaker 1

And that seems appropriate to me to be absolutely that's that is them practicing appropriate boundaries with the world of consumerism.

Speaker 3

Yeah, but they're like, yeah, Ego didn't have to go meta on the alcohol like that on us. Yeah, And like when I said it, like I think some people thought I was probably having a stroke because they were so confused by the combination of words I kept repeating on.

Speaker 1

It seems like it's designed to have that effect, to be like the strangest combination of words that you almost right. It makes people think they need to fifty one to fifty you like when.

Speaker 3

Yeah, like ask like a write like a conspiracy theory. You're trying to get out there in the world. But when you say it out loud, you're like, yeah, all right, buddy, let's uh, here's here's your let's why don't we have a sedative and lay down over here? Yeah? But yeah, they're like what. I'm like, it's Appalachian sipping cream, but it's Ego waffle brunch and a jar. They're like, so what is it. I'm like, it's ego alcohol. They're like, I've never heard of that. God damn it, I've.

Speaker 2

Never heard of that, and I don't think it should exist.

Speaker 3

Yeah it does, you know what? Credit to you, because yeah, I also had to take a long look in the mirror and be like, is this what it's come to? But when it does hit my local, you better believe I'm going to have a sip of that.

Speaker 2

I do want to just correct you quickly.

Speaker 1

It was actually my tweet that brought up Apple Ashian sip and cream ego.

Speaker 2

It was a that.

Speaker 1

I enjoyed somebody, sorry, but I do want to give a shout out to doctor John because when I brought that up, they had already done the research.

Speaker 3

So you can't get it out so amazing. Yeah, it takes a community.

Speaker 2

How about you, my overrated That's what we're doing right.

Speaker 1

The like I guess they're called rebuses where you do like a picture to represent a.

Speaker 3

Word, so like oh, yeah, like you know what I mean for ship satin exactly you light bulb up arrow my wife then like with a minus for the W and plus L dude, the way I watched your hard drive trying to figure out my my wife. There we go.

Speaker 1

But yeah, they've been I don't know, I've been seeing them more lately on Twitter, and my brain is not capable of like turning off the desire to solve them and you know, just like not trying to figure it out, and.

Speaker 2

Then when I do, they are never worth it.

Speaker 3

Like on one second, I rolled over my headphone cable and I can't and I can't get up.

Speaker 1

World, like I can't not like my brain is not able to not just try and immediately start solving.

Speaker 2

Them, and they're never like rewarding.

Speaker 1

Like the one that I think I've seen a number of times is like well, damn Jackie, I can't control the weather. Yep, it's like her I'm cold me Well, damned Jackie, I can't control the weather. Which is a quote from that seventies show like cool, Oh.

Speaker 3

That's like Kelso talking to Jackie Yeah Jackie, yeah, to who was here for you? Jackie?

Speaker 1

Yeah yeah, which I don't know, like were people quoting that seventies show to one another? I never did, but probably like a very specific I mean shit, I was quoting Full House when I was a kid, so like yeah, right, it's just however, you know, if you were eight to twelve, that shit probably seemed hilarious, but like this.

Speaker 3

Other one you posted is infuriating.

Speaker 1

Yeah, last night, I and then it's like an outline of a state bitcoin some emoji mode dog face, OSU, Joe laughed, puppy your sister. And I guess that one is like a joke about these being stupid.

Speaker 3

Oh damn, well, then I'm even dumber.

Speaker 2

Sucks me up man like that, Yeah, like.

Speaker 3

Skull giggle your sister. Basketball.

Speaker 2

Yeah.

Speaker 1

I spent you know, fifteen minutes yesterday just looking at my phone giving myself a pep talk, like come on, man out.

Speaker 3

Well trying to learn ukulele.

Speaker 1

Do you remember that eighties there was like an eighties game show that was all only these Yeah yeah yeah.

Speaker 2

Rebuy is it Ribus's or rebuy.

Speaker 3

Rebuzz McIntyre's rebuzz rebis McIntyre I think is the.

Speaker 1

MacIntire when pluralized is like attorneys general?

Speaker 3

Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know, I mean, yeah, I guess. I don't know. Is this like a thing where like younger people on the internet were like, oh, whoa, we can do some shit like this and then just fuck with the elderly's need to solve puzzles like they're spending so much time.

Speaker 2

Doesn't mean shit, he's so mad.

Speaker 1

Anyway, stop it, kids, your damn kids. Although I mean the person who spent the time to you know, crudely photoshop together a that seventies show reference probably isn't that young.

Speaker 3

Hey, you never know, you never you never know, like how how much the office is loved by gen z.

Speaker 2

That's rights around. What's something you think is underrated?

Speaker 3

Underrated employees at kids toy stores? So I was at the mall and I went, there's like this kind of like high end kids toy store that's got like quasi playground vibes in there, like there's like shit to like run on, but then there's like obviously toys the kids who play with there's like a slime station and shit. Yeah. The way parents just letting their kids loose and then

ignore the fuck chaos that would ensue. Yeah, was like like it truly felt like parents are like I'm going to stand at the door you go in there, and then I'm gonna go on my phone while you're The employees problems because kids were doing like razor scooter races like through the fucking store. I got the geist child like on me and like I'm like trying to be like, hey, I'm trying to show my baby a soccer on you. Yeah yeah, I got that thang on me, and I

was trying to just let the kids know. I was like, yeah, I mean I didn't. I never intervened, but like in my mind, I'm like, god, damn, shit is fucking wild in here. And it was just like the enthusiasm of these employees. I was like, man, bless y'all for like you must really like working them. I'm hopefully they pay all well. Yeah, yeah, because like the patients that they were exercising. I was like, couldn't be me, couldn't be me.

And I used to work in a very like child filled environment in high school, when I used to do like Weis's work at Laser Tag place and do kids' birthday parties all the time, Like I was like the birthday host for kids the way my patients like this second I got through that break room door, and my whole fucking energy shifted to like cynical like stoner kid versus like outgoing party guy. Oh man, it couldn't happen sooner.

So shout out to the people that worked there. I see you being exercising a level of patience that you know, I've never seen. It's felt superhuman. And to the parents that were just treating that place like a fucking like just like a spider. Yeah, yeah, might come on now, like engage with your kids. But hey, maybe I'll get to that level as a parent too. I'm like, yeah, man, I fucking just I just I just like just pushed the fucking stroller in there, and I fucking turned my back.

Speaker 2

Yeah.

Speaker 1

I had one day of like being a childcare like professional when I was in my twenties, Like you know, in college, I was working at a fitness club at the front desk, just like scanning people's cards. And then there was a day where they were understaffed in.

Speaker 2

The kids section. Oh and so I'd like go.

Speaker 1

In there, and I just remember there being a kid who was like a little too old who asked me to like go into the bathroom with him and like check his butt, you know, for wiping.

Speaker 3

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.

Speaker 2

I was just like, that's this is enough for me.

Speaker 1

Now you got this, You got this, I think, is how I dealt with that.

Speaker 3

Man. Yeah, you know, I'm a I think I need to go wipe down some machines. Man. That's right.

Speaker 1

Sounds like a YP. It sounds like a YP. Your parents problem, YPP. I am down with YPP. My underrated is the pickup line from The Golden Bachelor. The super producer Anajosy shared with us.

Speaker 2

Yeah, I think we should play it.

Speaker 1

It's just a great execution of like somebody just veteran work here.

Speaker 3

Yeah, there's an ancient wisdom about this pickup.

Speaker 1

So the Golden Bachelor, if you missed the episode with super producer Anna is the first Bachelor. It is about people in their sixties seventies, so forth.

Speaker 2

I'm Sondra from Atlanta. Good to meet you too, my monthly nervous.

Speaker 3

You know what I do when I get nervous, I have.

Speaker 5

This zin practice, So I want to do that right now if you don't mind. Yeah, okay, I'll take a couple of breaths. There you go, fuck fuh fuck, and then he joins in with the fuck.

Speaker 4

Okay, I feel better.

Speaker 1

How about you quick in and out to the point.

Speaker 2

She had a plan.

Speaker 3

Uh leave them laughing, leave them laughing.

Speaker 1

I mean it also works. I've been doing it ever since I uh, just a little.

Speaker 2

Fuck.

Speaker 1

I guess I've been doing it my whole life with the word fuck. You think that makes it's one of the more powerful words in my mind, you know, like just from a lifetime of it being a taboo word and it has that hard consonance at the end.

Speaker 2

Fuck yeah, I.

Speaker 1

Mean fuck didn't get where it is by accident. Is a pretty brilliant word.

Speaker 3

It's one of the best.

Speaker 1

But yeah, now, now I do need to start watching the show because it is a level of just you know, I feel like we can learn from these people lifelong oh yeah, veteran experience of you know, uh acknowledge your nervousness up front, when you're feeling nervous.

Speaker 3

Turn into an opportunity.

Speaker 2

Yeah.

Speaker 1

And it also you know, gives it gives you a chance to bond, uh, and then just solidify solidified herself as a real one right away.

Speaker 2

Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 3

You love to see its love to see it.

Speaker 1

Yeah, all right, should we take a break and get back and talk about some news.

Speaker 2

Yeah, we'll be right back.

Speaker 4

And we're back.

Speaker 1

And Senator Diane Feinstein, yeah past Thursday night.

Speaker 2

Yeah, we just missed it.

Speaker 3

Yeah, yep, yep, no there right as the buzzer and then the weekend started. Yeah, and when she was ninety years old, and I think we were all thinking the same thing the last few years, which just just please please her sign please just finish your days out like with family, rather than being paraded around like I don't again, It's like the whole time I was thinking was like

how much did she want to do this? How much was she you know, I'm sure people behind the scenes are like, hey, you don't got to do this, but I don't know. It was all just kind of it was just gross, especially the last couple of months when we saw her like kind of come back to the Senate and we're like, this is not this isn't what we need to be doing ever when it comes to employment, let alone representing the interests of people who are going to be on this planet for a few years longer.

So yeah, this is kind of the interesting thing. I think the biggest story around this too was also around Gavin Newsom because like earlier on he basically had said he's like, I'm going to pick a black woman, like I will name a black woman to the seat should Dianne Feinstein leave before the end of her term, But then also at the same time was saying, but I also like, if anybody's like in the race, I don't want to put like my thumb on the scale and

tip the balance. Because at the time, a lot of people were thinking, like, oh, okay, Barbara Lee, who fits the criteria of a black woman who would be fit for this post, like was like, okay, great, But when she announced and then Findstein died, people are like, okay, so is it going to be Barbara leave because you were kind of in that sort of implied that it could be her, and now it isn't quite the case.

Barbara Lee was also was sort of like not very interested on just like kind of like this like ceremonial interim appointment, she said, quote the idea of job. Yeah, she's like, the idea that a black woman should be appointed only as a caretaker to simply check a box is insulting to countless black women across the country. True, And fucking Gavin Newsom didn't have to say that shit like anyway, but it loves to qualify those kinds of things,

doesn't he. So yeah, now you know, the the what's seeming like really more ridiculous was just the fucking rumors.

Speaker 2

That yeah, had been jumped into make it way worse. The rumor mil yeah, that.

Speaker 1

Newsom would pick Megan Markle uh huh, yeah, you know, I'm sorry she has firsthand experience going along with the farcical procedures of collapsed Western empires is the only thinking that I can kind of identify in there.

Speaker 2

And she and she.

Speaker 1

Famously moved to northern California. Yeah, probably hangs out with Kevin Newsom, but oh yeah, yeah, yeah bigs, big fans.

Speaker 3

Uh. But yeah then also, like even like TMZ was dubious because like obviously there's no I'm sure the Daily mail is just having like a bit of racist tongue in cheek fun there. But then he actually did pick someone. He's tapped Lafonza Butler, who is the president of the you know, pro abortion group Emily's list also like worked with Kamalah Harris and was like the head of the California SCIU. So she will also become like so like it's now been confirmed, she will become the only black

woman in the Senate and California's first openly LGBTQ plus senator. Yeah, so yeah, we'll see I guess Gavin god a bullet there, but like yeah, at the same time, it just don't it's so weird when Democrats are like, and it's going to be a person of X group.

Speaker 1

Right, just don't say that and make it a person of that group because they are qualified, and that's what people anyone they want to take credit for it, right, they want to steal the credit, of course, because it's no longer about the fact that Barbara Lee or Lafonza Butler as wholly they're wholly.

Speaker 3

Qualified for the role. It's it's like, but I'm the white person who is now shining the light upon the marginalized and oppressed, therefore I should be president one day.

Speaker 1

Yes, all right, Well Tupac Ur murder was solved finally this weekend by good old fashioned you know, just beaten the pavement. Police were, oh, sorry, no reading a memoir. It was solved by anyone who read a memoir, someone.

Speaker 3

Who's been screaming this shit for the last pub of five years.

Speaker 2

Yeah.

Speaker 1

So the press conference was pretty brutal with regards to the cops out here, just like really feeling themselves, like being like twenty seven years.

Speaker 2

That's how the guy like opened it.

Speaker 1

He was like twenty seven years, twenty seven long years that the family of Tupac Shakur have been waiting without an answer. Well, we've recently made an arrest. They went through like the evidence that put the suspect at the scene of the crime or like involved him, and it's just you know, he the person has been confessing to the murder for years, was the head of the rival gang of Suge Knight Tupac and Shug had beaten up his nephew earlier that night.

Speaker 2

Like it was the thing that everybody.

Speaker 3

Every Tupac documentary around it was like and then it was this fight that led to the shooting.

Speaker 1

Yeah, like they go they like showed the lobby video of Tupac and the Death Row group like beating up the suspect, like all these things that are like iconic to at this point.

Speaker 6

Yeah, because I felt like it's weird because like a lot of for a long time people were pointing out about this dude, Keith d and how he has been saying like he's doing it, and it just like I guess wasn't taken seriously because the cops ever did anything because they're like, I don't I guess he's just claiming that shit.

Speaker 1

But they're like assuming that they well, if he was really the killer, like they would have done something by now, right, Maybe.

Speaker 3

Did he also be like man, I'm just saying this shit and they're not doing anything.

Speaker 2

Cares.

Speaker 3

Maybe I might be the OJ of this whole fucking Tupac.

Speaker 1

Thing, right Yeah, like just getting away with murder and just being like, man, this is really weird, right Yeah, Like he's like, is the matrix because this doesn't make any sense. I've just written a memoir where I confess in detail like that he is. In his memoir, he writes that he and his nephew and others had like gone armed themselves waited in the nightclub parking lot that Tupac and Sugar were going to, hoping to confront them, and then when they like didn't show up, they decided

to go back to their hotel. And then saw Tupac and Suge night like stopped at a red light talking to fans. Yeah, and as they sat in traffic, they like slowly rolled past the long line of luxury cars they had in their caravan, looking into each one until we pulled up to the front vehicle and found who we were seeking. Like, so he basically words, yeah, yeah, those are his own words.

Speaker 3

Yeah. The secondary shit that's happening now too, where a pair of I don't know, like you know, on the like black gossip sites. It's all like and it's starting, I don't know how many like mainstream people picking up that. He's like trying to implicate p did you know, Oh

he is yeah, yeah, again unfounded. That's like just what people love to say because obviously, like at the heart of this was the East coast, West coast, like bad Boy Death Row Beef, but like you know, people were like, hey man, he says, like the rumors are saying, like he said, did he like he got a million dollars to do this shit? And now he's now that he's in trouble, he's like maybe maybe he has like a card up a sleeve, but I yeah, we'll see about that.

Speaker 2

Yeah.

Speaker 1

But it's so funny to like watch the press conference and the cops are like and at this time, we ascertained and have like been looking into this heretofore, you know, like using police language, and they never like it could have been a five minute press conference where they're like, yeah, he like confessed to the killing in a book that came out in twenty nineteen. So if you're wondering, like why now, we like read that book. Took us a while.

We finally read the book. We did a raid on his property, found some evidence that would be admissible in court, and that's and here we are. But instead it's like all you know, police talk and broverah, yeah.

Speaker 3

I love the energy of like the police doing the like we got him. Yeah, Like I got to play this video because it's my favorite. What they got who saying oh yeah, this is the cops coming out tapping their own back. They're like, all right, y'all ready for this bomb? Get ready? What do y'all got? Police?

Speaker 6

Thankies and gentlemen, we got him.

Speaker 3

He was like, yeah, it's like you read a book. You read a book.

Speaker 2

You read you read the book where he said he did it. Yeah, yeah, we read the book where he said he did it.

Speaker 1

I do love their multiple moments where both in the ladies and Gentlemen, we got them, saidam thing, and also in the TUPAC press conference where it seems like they're pausing for applause, like.

Speaker 3

Like yo, this is a media event, they're not. Yeah, all right. What else was happening this weekend? There's some terrifying footage coming out of New York City of flooding.

Speaker 1

Whirlpools, which I'd assume would be happening constantly because the city is just like full of trapdoors and underground tunnels.

Speaker 3

Like but yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1

The thing I took away from the whole story is like, other than that climate change is going to, you know, make this more and more common and more and more people's lives difficult and tragic, is New York City is like so fucking resilient it's crazy.

Speaker 3

Yeah. Every time I'm like, oh, that's that's going to destroy everything. Yeah, and then they were like, no, it's back to normal. Yeah. I mean again, I don't know what the fate is of the like those basement dwellings. I'm sure that's when you Yeah, it's like where the

real fucking damage is being done. But yeah, like even like talking to like you know Becca, who like on the team, who like lives in Brooklyn, I was like, everything good, Like, yeah, yeah, it's bad, yeah, but I think it'll be all right.

Speaker 1

We had to like go help some people out who are stranded and yeah, but yeah, the older I get, the more amazed I am that like New York City exists, like it really is just a miracle of like human ingenuity, and I don't know, it's crazy.

Speaker 2

I call it. Yeah. I call my sister like on Saturday morning, being.

Speaker 1

Like, oh, how is it, and she was like, yeah, yesterday it was really bad. Right now I'm at a street book fair with my kids just being like, yeah, yes, it was wild though, but it's mostly drained.

Speaker 3

So yeah, off to shake it off.

Speaker 2

Yeah.

Speaker 1

Also, we got our first nonfiction picks our movie as Sally the Sea Lion at the Central Park Zoo used the flooding to escape her enclosure. Oh really, and go on a bit of a fuck about around the park. She didn't actually ever get out of the zoo, but it really she did get out of the enclosure. She did get out of the enclosure. It does really open some possibilities of like a gritty you know, sea lion gets lost in the subway tunnels, gets around drugs, gets clean, you know.

Speaker 3

And then like befriends like the humans that were oppressing her, yes on some level, and they see the light at the end of Yeah, this is this is good. I P. Man, you owned this. You owned this? I P.

Speaker 2

Yeah, it's all mine. I did it.

Speaker 1

I was busy all weekend reaching out to Sally to try and get.

Speaker 3

Yeah.

Speaker 2

Uh, well, we did mention briefly last.

Speaker 1

Week, uh, speaking of flooding and you know, water danger. We didn't mention last week that Donald Trump is trying to use like a weird fear he has of like battery powered boats, ye to like argue against electronic vehicles. So he did it towards the end of last week, and then over the weekend he went on a weird rant about like how you know you if your boat was thinking and you had a battery, like you, you would be fucked. But also if there was a shark

close by, I don't know. Here, let's just play it for people.

Speaker 3

Yeah, this is and it's funny because this is a thing he said in Michigan earlier. So he's really workshopped this. Yeah, this is his second bite bite of the apple here. But here we go.

Speaker 7

But if I'm sitting down and that boat's going down and I'm on top of a battery on the water, start sweating and I'm getting concerned.

Speaker 2

But then I look ten yards to my left hand, there's a shark.

Speaker 1

Huh.

Speaker 2

So I have a choice of electrocution or shock.

Speaker 3

You know what I'm going to take? Which one?

Speaker 4

Electrocution?

Speaker 2

Electrocution? Every single time, I will take electrocution.

Speaker 3

I would take electric you okay, which form of the death penalty would you letter? I would take electricution.

Speaker 1

Yeah, we do need to like include that as an option for the death penalty, just being fed to a shark.

Speaker 3

But yeah, hey, but it may it may. It may actually, you know, be a benefit to some sick fox out there who want to get their whole ship. Bit. So, I don't know if you want to be out here and wishes.

Speaker 1

I might motivate some killings because it's actually hard to find a way to get eaten by a shark, Like you can't like just on the open market.

Speaker 2

It's hard to find.

Speaker 3

People the shark experience at Mandola Bay. It's hard to get in there, like into the part where the sharks are.

Speaker 1

It's like impossible on the grounds of you have to do a little more work than just telling them you want to get your whole shit bit. But yeah, they're like sir, But just in terms of I don't know the obvious question of what the fuck is he even talking about, Like he seems to be trying to make an argument about like how dangerous electric vehicles are. Yeah, but then he's talking about how that's the preferable way to go as opposed to get.

Speaker 2

Eaten by a shark.

Speaker 1

I like that he's choosing certain death in his mind over like a shark being ten feet away. Sharks are not interested in eating people usually, Like you have to work hard to get eaten by a shark. Trust, Yeah, like they won't just eat you.

Speaker 3

It has like the logical moment int of like a drunk person arguing like something really complex at a bar. Yeah, we're like electric vehicles, and then you're gonna get what you Then it's gonna get and you're gonna get electrocution. But what if there's a shark there? I prefer electrocution. It really.

Speaker 1

The thing it most reminds me of is like what if somebody put a microphone into my brain as I was drifting off to sleep, Like it's just complete, like logic meltdown, just like stray thoughts kind of blowing through like tumbleweeds.

Speaker 3

Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's really that's my favorite time to talk. Yeah, for some reason, like they.

Speaker 2

Just wake up and write something down that occurred to you.

Speaker 3

Then I'm like, what notes on my phone? And I'm like, what the fuck is this? Yeah, it's like you said you put a R E the word R and then X three Yeah, like are r R? Like what what was I? Yeah? And then or like it'll be the thing too where like Her Majesty will think I'm awake and then like people say like, hey, what do you think about blah blah blah, and I just go r r R like what I'm sorry? I was like I'm happy asleep.

Speaker 2

Yeah, No, r X three three.

Speaker 3

Three R the Mazda r X three. Thank you new branding.

Speaker 1

All right, let's take a quick break and then we'll come back and talk a little bit more about the person who we just heard from and what's going on with with in his world.

Speaker 7

Just to just quick, not too much, and we're back.

Speaker 1

Yeah, bringing the last two stories together. Yeah, you got Donald Trump. He's in New York for a fraud trial.

Speaker 3

Oh yeah. Today is the beginning of the find out phase. Because last week we talked about how the judge was basically saying like, nah, man, this is a it's gonna be a fucking bench trial. I don't even need a jury. We don't need a jury to determine if you did this. It's so clear that you did it. We're just gonna go straight to the fucking punishment phase here and right now. Like we said last week, it's like, you know, Latsia James is like seeking like two hundred fifty million dollars

in damages. How will Trump do that? That's kind of like the part a lot of people are like rubbing their mits over. It's like, oh, is he gonna have to fucking sell Trump Tower? Is he going to have to sell this or that or whatever? And you know, as it stands right now, he him and his kids can absolutely not do business in the state of New York. Like that's like that's done. That's We're like, that's off the table now. So now it's like, Okay, what else

is gonna happen? And when you consider that this trial or this judge who's like now presiding over this next phase of the trial, has like been so pissed at Trump and his lawyers for the antics, you're like, oh, it's hard to imagine that he gets out of here with like light touches. Obviously knowing Trump can appeal and you know, draw this out however he wants to, but it seems like it's going to be a hard, hard

thing to try and do. A one to eighty on the Attorney General is basically saying like they're seeking a disgorgement of profits from the Trump family, meaning that they have to give up profits they made off of the fucking dubious, uh, you know, financial statements they were making. So that's a ton. Yeah, at least at the very least they're saying, like, you know, because he was saying like, oh my, I'm gonna three exercise my apartment to get

this like loan. Those loans were made to secure the purchases of properties like Trump Golf Club in Miami, Trump International Hotel and Tower in Chicago, the like old post office building that he bought in Washington, DC, SE and so basically any profits from those, they're like, yeah, these were made off live, so we're we're coming for that. Wow. But hey, a little bit of good news, Donald Trump.

The Supreme Court has also just said they won't be taking up the case that would potentially bar you from running for president, even though you're you're big on insurrection. So maybe that make good. We were talking about it's.

Speaker 1

Not happening, not quite yet, although across the board or just like there was a specific case team there's a specific.

Speaker 3

Case, or like we're not we're not going to hear that this session. Yeah, yeah, so there's gonna be in. It doesn't mean the end of it, but that one that seemed on the precipice of maybe being heard by

the Supreme Court. Nah. But Clarence Thomas did recuse himself from John Eastman case, which is very interesting, which is the first time we've seen that is one of he was one of his clerks, used to be one of his clerks, who is like one of the like legal architects of like the insurrection, like the January sixth shit, oh right, and so yeah, people are like and also your wife like you should why the fuck are you involved in like this time He's like, yeah, yeah, I'm

going to recuse on this one, so freeze, but not my wife. But yeah, we'll see what happens. We'll see what happens because, like, you know, I'm pretty sure Clarence Thomas name was like in some of the evidence that was given to the January sixth committee, which was getting appealed to the point that he got to the sup. It's all very it's so intricate. It's a rat king of fuckery, rat fuckery, rat king. There you go.

Speaker 2

All right?

Speaker 1

Uh Sarah Huckabee Sanders podium gate scandal, all right, I was not familiar with it, and it apparently just got worse. Her office bought a lectern that costs nineteen thousand dollars.

Speaker 3

Jack, eighteen four hundred and seventy five dollars, I'm into cotton nineteen thousand, okay, Yeah, eighteen thousand, four hundred and seventy five dollars custom podium wow, with travel case, with travel case.

Speaker 2

Oh okay, Oh I didn't know it had a travel case.

Speaker 1

Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, that actually that maths out actually yeah eighteen yeah yeah.

Speaker 3

With the custom travel case. Yeah, it's it's a it's a flight case. It's fine.

Speaker 1

But it was purchased from a company called Beckett Events, which not coincidentally probably was founded by a former lobbyist with connections to her. And so the Arkansas Republican Party then paid Sanders back for the lectern, seemingly to save her from the growing scandal.

Speaker 2

But it seems like it's just I don't know that.

Speaker 1

It doesn't help that they're acknowledging that this was fucked up.

Speaker 2

The invoice for the prazy item lists it as.

Speaker 1

A podium when it is clearly a lectern, and the company's website doesn't mention the sale of equipment to clients, So it's how you get that they don't sell that.

Speaker 3

Yeah, it's wild also too, because then on the like after that or right before that, Sarah Huckabee Sanders is like, yeah, here's a law that will limit what kind of information you can get from a freedom of a Freedom of Information Act request. Right, it's interesting what so is this like a weird like kind of grease pain? What the fuck? What is this? And also what is the going rate for a fucking.

Speaker 1

Lectern can't imagine it's more than a couple hundred dollars would be my guess.

Speaker 3

I could see, like based on the materials, if it's like wired for like like microphones and shit. I feel like we're looking at like maybe I had a bulletproof one. I don't know about bulletproof LaRue. Yeah, we'll see, but I mean like because if look right now, you can get like a real janky one for two hundred and seventy bucks. But that's not the kind of governor would stand at right.

Speaker 2

Uh.

Speaker 3

And then you know ones with sound built in.

Speaker 1

We come with the little things that like they project the speech onto.

Speaker 3

Oh those little little little as plexiglass Like uh yeah, I thought were like like.

Speaker 1

The most ill advised, very incomplete bulletproof.

Speaker 3

They're head sized and you put them at like angles off to the side, so if you're directly in front of your target. H yeah, not not very good. Doesn't offer a lot of production.

Speaker 1

It's also just been reported that an anonymous whistleblower is claiming that her office improperly altered and withheld public records related to ongoing scrutiny of the offices spending.

Speaker 3

So yeah, oh no to say it ain't.

Speaker 1

So a lot of a lot of ship piling up over a single left turn.

Speaker 2

Yeah, all right.

Speaker 1

And finally, uh, just beware of what Tom Hanks tells you.

Speaker 3

Specifically, and that's it.

Speaker 2

Yeah, just beware.

Speaker 1

I'm just saying I'm not gonna get any more specific than that. Just don't listen. This guy's trouble.

Speaker 3

No.

Speaker 1

He He actually took to Instagram to warn his fans to beware of a dental plan promo video featuring an AI version of Tom Hanks, which he actually wasn't involved in, which I know is very surprising that Tom Hanks isn't lending his A list Hollywood credibility to random dental plan commercials.

Speaker 2

Oh but it's the image that he shared with it is.

Speaker 1

He looks way better than anything in Polar Express, so the AI is learning.

Speaker 3

He also looks about twenty some years younger. Yeah, based on like what he looks like, it looks like a early aughts version of Tom Hanks.

Speaker 1

But I wonder if he was like guys like he realized he kind of looks good and the AI and he's like, guys, we've I had to share this, uh so so that you don't get used.

Speaker 2

Look at this guy.

Speaker 1

I know you're probably gonna think it's actually me because of how good he looks. This isn't the first time Tom Hanks's likeness has been turned into an AI creation without his permission. There's also an uncle bus do you know? Do you know about the AI generated trailer? Uh for a movie about a man who magically gets turned into a bus and only his nephew Timothy shall May can save him by driving the bus in a race with the devil on Halloween night?

Speaker 2

Are you familiar with this one?

Speaker 3

Wait? What the fuck?

Speaker 2

Wow?

Speaker 3

Uncle?

Speaker 2

Yeah? My uncle buss?

Speaker 1

But yeah, I don't know. There's a there's a lot swirling. Tom Hanks is in the zeitgeist. I like so many reasons.

Speaker 3

I like uncle Bus being like a sucubus.

Speaker 2

Uncle bus sucubus.

Speaker 3

Yeah that that seems a little rather than being like it's, you know, like a bus that's an uncle. It's like this demonic uncle who like educes people with his sex power.

Speaker 2

Yeah, the thing that we all know uncles for their sex power with.

Speaker 1

The image of his face on the front of the bus is pretty cool.

Speaker 3

Gotta admit it's pretty cool. God right, I'd take a ride on that one. Hell yeah, man, because it's got a nose.

Speaker 1

Coming out of it too, Like it does like it's just been like painted on, like airbrushed on there, but then there's a nose coming out like that. Yeah, test the limits of what we know about three three dimensional space.

Speaker 3

The entire windshield is his face, so I'm not sure how Timothy Shalomey is going to be able to maneuver it. And no, it's Uncle Bus behind the wheel.

Speaker 1

Yeah, so he's behind the wheel, so the eyes are his the what the fuck is the point of Timothy his eyes? Timothy shall May got his spell book wet spilled stuff on a spell book, and that's how he became Uncle Buss. I don't know how he is helping in the race against the Devil on Halloween.

Speaker 2

Night, Okay.

Speaker 3

And for people who think he just made that up, that's actually in the description of the film. It just sees him as the magic uncle of Timothy Shallo May who accidentally spills a drink on his spell books. So it's like a laptop. I got water in your spell book? Well I can't exchange it now, got water damage on there?

Speaker 1

Oh man, can you imagine what's gonna happen when they digitize and like give AI the power over our spell books? Like, come on, man, Jack, you tell me you're not scared of AI yet?

Speaker 3

No, I don't get I'm ready, bro fucking show it the necronomicon.

Speaker 1

But yeah, people, you know to last week, Tom Hanks was trending because people people were like positing conspiracy theories where he is, you know, one of these Hollywood sickos, and you know who's been in league with Satan and Epstein. And the way you know that is because of hand signals he was doing in Forrest Gumps. He's been cluing us in all alongside.

Speaker 3

Yeah people, just.

Speaker 1

You know, he holds a special place in the heart of America.

Speaker 2

And as America's heart rots in its chest, you know, weird, weird things are going to start coming out. So but Uncle Bus a.

Speaker 1

True missed opportunity for the world of entertainment.

Speaker 3

Shut out uncle Bus. Man.

Speaker 1

All right, well, those are some of the things that we're trending over the weekend.

Speaker 2

Are trending now we are back tomorrow.
