So before we completely turn this into an old man music show, let's take the time to welcome our guest, a very talented performer, very talented writer working on shows like Corporate, Unbreakable, Kimmy Schmidt or also one of the most notable production assistants that come to my mind. As a lover of late night television. You might remember from
the Late Late Show. Please Welcome to the microphone Bridger Why agud oh Bridger, Bridger, Oh welcome.
All I wanted to do is sing in my intro and I can't. I simply can't a a tune.
Also, of course, the host of I said no gifts. I just completely dropped the ball there also Fantastic Bridge, fantastic podcast. Bridge are welcome, man, how are you doing.
I'm doing okay, Well, let's be let's be upfront. We talked a little bit about this before the show. I spent a lot of time very early this morning waiting outside of Glendale Hyunday for my boyfriend and then had to just drive home because he got a loaner car there. So my time was wasted. I mean to Glendale and my boyfriend.
Oh was your boyfriend doing things like I gotta drop my car off and then I need you to pick me up after I dropped my car off and after a long wait, it's never mind. They gave me a.
Loaner exactly exactly, and he woke me up so early. The drive to Glendale Hounday is twelve minutes he drove. He woke me up forty five minutes earlier than that. So it was it was a situation.
Yeah, I'll do that, Yeah, I'll do that.
I'm just gonna throw this out there, Bridger, you gotta break up, will.
Well, that's the plan. After after we hit stop.
It's the bridge too far?
Yeah, you know, are you? Are you not a morning person at all? I'm guessing not at all? Yeah, what are you?
It's like kind of the morning now, I mean it's almost after me. It's and I'm barely functioning.
Oh wow, okay, well, thank you so much?
Can I was both of you a question before we get to know Bridge and Moore and before we get into the daily sight gist. Guys, Now, my car is also in the shop. I have a Volkswagon. It's it's still under warranty. Uh, it's in the shop. They can't figure out what's wrong with it, right, Uh, Like they I took it in for what was going on, and they was like, all right, we fixed it, and the
next day, same shit. I take it back in and now they've had it for over a week and a half and they like, we keep trying shit and we don't know what it is. I have a loaner car too, but like, I'm pretty sure that if we keep going down this route, my car is gonna be considered a limit and they have to give me a brand new car. Right, So at this point, should I be rooting for my car? To not be fixed.
I mean, that's a How do you like your loaner right now?
I love my loaner. It's nice. It's an upgrade. It's like three years old. My car is a twenty eighteen. I still have a five year warranty.
They got twenty one right now.
Yeah yeah, Or it's the twenty nineteen. I have a five year warranty. They got me into twenty twenty three right now.
Oh oh well, I mean that might be the universe sort of previewing what is to come for you.
You know, listen, listen, you know, I'm like, let me sneak into and break some ship.
Yeah, if you know my YouTube channel, I'm all about manifesting. You know. Obviously it's all about the energy, you know what I mean. So you about to manifest this new car, you know, just the jack Key's what I would start doing now is close your eyes and when you're in that loaner, when you're holding the steering wheel, you say, I'm about to be in one of these but as a replacement from my car, and watch what happened.
I am all right, That's what I'm gonna do. Like this, we all rooting for the lemons.
Yeah, root for the lemons, although that kind of sucks. I can't imagine. But here's the other thing. Is it very easy to get your car replaced when it's deemed a lemon or there are probably like infinite loops you have to fucking hop through or hoops you have to.
Apparently apparently because California is oh yeah, freak yeah. The California lemon laws go to the consumer, all right, are leaning towards the consumer. Like every other law with the cars is some gas like or like leans towards like us.
So yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Now I was in Indiana, I'll be like, bruh, fix my car?
Oh yeah, for sure they'd be like, hey man, you gotta We could squeeze the fuck out of it and give you whatever comes out at the end, and you could take that, but we won't give you a new car. All right, But let's preview a little bit what we're going to talk about today with Bridger talking about threads. It's out and apparently, as of this recording, thirty million people have already signed up to be on the meta
version of Twitter. So we'll just kind of do a light check in with what's going on there and some also problems that people have already find began to encounter. Then we're going to talk about Donald Trump, whose eldest son definitely has never done cocaine, has some thoughts on the cocaine at the White House, So we'll kind of look at his rant about that. We'll check in with QAnon really quick. Remember that guy who said JFK was
returning and then he had all those people go to Dallas. Well, there's a development with him, and we may even talk about the biggest movie that came out on the fourth of July, in addition to some other fun things. But first Ridger we got we'd like to ask our guests, what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are, what you're into right now.
Well, first of all, I started looking into my search history, and I'm like, what's happening with search histories? I think because it's automatically typed in so many of the things, I'll just hit the first result and it doesn't even get logged as a search history. So mine is sparse. Mine is so bare. But I do have this recent one that says, why is Tingle not in Breath of the Wild, which is may make no sense to anyone. I'm talking Zelda now, it's I've been talking about Zelda.
There's an old character in old Zelda games that's kind of a gay idiot who is not present in these new games.
And I'm furious, and do we get to the bottom of the lack of Tingle's presence.
There was no real logic, There was no real explanation.
He could easily be there. There a million characters.
End. Yeah, Nintendo, hear about going woke and going broke, and then maybe that's what they did. They suppressed this character.
They may be suppressing Tingle. That's a great, great idea. Yeah, that's I mean, that's my only the only explanation I can come up with. So no one has an answer, and it's very disappointing for me. Yeah, what a great name to Tingle. Have you been playing Tears of the Kingdom? I have, And I don't know why I searched Breath of the Wild rather than Tears of the Kingdom, but I guess it's because I had already played that game
and it wasn't appearing in this game. And I'm desperate, desperate for answers.
Are you a big Nintendo person or are you all kinds all over the place type of gaming person.
I love video games, but I play like one a year. But when I played them, I played them like I've been playing myself or not NonStop.
Yeah. God yeah, I'm kind of like that too, Like I'll do like maybe one or two a year. Like when I'm in it, I'm in it, Like I replayed the Last of Us games when the show was out right, and like I was in it. And now I haven't turned on a video game since I finish that. But when the New Spider Man comes out, I know I'm gonna be in that.
Oh like that one. I already I already told my child. I said, I don't know when you use me again.
When this shit comes, you better get this parent and now chit, little boy, this kid has problems.
Come out the Grand Theft Autos six probably coming on a year and a half, so I probably missed the development of my child's language skeps and oh yeah. Then there's a Star Wars Outlaws game that's like a GTA but in the Star Wars world that you could be taking spaceships and ship I'm like, sorry, sorry, my people need me, and I poof I'm out of here.
But no, listen, your son got a mom. Your video games ain't got a player without you know.
The funny thing is too like part of me is like, I can't put him onto these games already. His brain is still developing. I can't rot him on these graphics quite yet. But I'm very like, like eagerly awaiting the moment where I'm like, see you pick up this controller. Now join me in this world of digital escapism. Bridge, what's something you think is overrated?
Overrated? This might require a little explanation, but this has occurred to me recently. One shot takes in movies, those long shots where there are no cuts from the movie.
Overrated? I don't care.
I no longer care. Wow, I love a long runner. Okay, but go on, like, what is about it?
Go on?
Tell?
Yeah, yeah, right here, we know it's possible. First of all, we've seen it over and over and over. We know, and we also there's so many tricks that are being played at this point, they're not even one long take. This is my theory, This is my new theory. Is it's straight men who are afraid to choreograph dances, so they need to do something else. That requires all of this choreography. It drives me out of my mind.
Who cares? So Paul Thomas Anderson closeted man? Who is not willing to just do an all out dance sequence because Boogie Nights full of those things, Like you could have just done a dance number. Yes, just give us all a fun dance number. Put everybody in a cool costume. Yeah, save everybody the grief of having to like go and have the camera floating around.
I'm not impressed.
What was the movie that was like one long run? Was it in nineteen seventeen? Was that?
Yeah?
That whole movie?
Right? Yeah? So for you that was that could have been a whole that could have been a dance sequence. That could have been a tens and thousands of dance sequences. Think of the money we could have had all kinds of dance sequences.
And what have we had? A World War two movie that has dance sequences? Or is that World War One? Nineteen seventeen?
Yes?
Yeah, yeah, World one? Yeah?
You know they was dancing, They was dancing back then.
Yeah, they d Let's get a whole dance movie around it then?
Was getting a jiggy let me Okay, so can I ask you, then, Bridger, what was because I the last one that I the last one shot that I saw that stuck out of my mind that I was like, yes, this, this was great. Was from Pearl. The movie Pearl, which is did you guys so X? The movie X, which was like that porn horror slasher movie which was very good in Pearl was the prequel to that movie, and me a Golf like I said this, anybody would listen. I was like, me A Golf should have got nominated
for her role in Pearl. She fucking went for it and it was great. But she rips off like a ten minute monologue where she hits every fucking emotion and I'm just sitting there riving it. And then at the end of the movie she also hits like a four minute like at the end of the movie, a four minute one shot just like look where she's like going through every facial emotion that she could possibly go to because she's losing her fucking mind. And I'm like, this
was beautiful. That's the last one I said. I would. I would if you are into it's not scary, It's not a scary movie. If you're not into horror, But I would be interested to see what you thought about Pearl and me a golf's performance.
But also what you're describing. I mean, I'm basically support of what you're talking about, where we're not like people aren't moving around and the camera is okay, take.
You're doing a session ship like the s session ship that they did was like we filmed this whole scene with no this one ship.
Like that succession Yeah, oh wow, which one? It was lost on me because I'm like, man, this shing so.
So all right, spoiler. If anybody has not seen a secession, I'm letting you know this right now, I'm about to spoil something. So pause it and forward like thirty seconds to a minute. All right, So have you tube seen it?
I think I know what you're talking about, but go ahead.
I'm not remembering it. It's it's when they find out a logan Logan dies from the call that they made to Basically it was a twenty seven minute like scene that was just one like no breaks, one shot. It's not like one that play. Yeah, but they but they they were using tricks, so they were still using cameras and like they had three cameras and they would switch the cameras off and stuff like that. But they filmed that.
Oh one, oh god, they filmed and then they did it again, and then and then the funeral was also filmed in one take as well.
I feel like there's and this maybe this is the one I was thinking of. Is that party they have that the scene ends with Shive and Tom having that argument on the balcony where she tells him she doesn't like him. That's what I was thinking. But se look, we can't even really think of it. These things are so wasteful.
But I think, yeah, Jackies, I think what you're saying with in that slasher movie that those long takes are more like give let an actor do it real quick, like here's a solo. Just let it cook, like I think of like in Buffy the Vampire Slayer when Buffy comes home realizes that her mom is dead. That's also one long take too, and she kills that ship. Shout
out Sarah Michelle Geller. But yeah, yeah, I see now that there are versus like the opening of Snake Eyes, which is like this long shot going through a casino, and to Bridger's point, it's like you're just doing some some homophobic, like mask like masculine choreography is like yeah, and then I need you to walk across this way with a bag. You're like, yeah, I got that, I got that five six walking across with my I agree with this. I agree with Bridger on this.
Bridger you have because if we are if we are different, if we are saying there's the difference between just like a one shot that is performance based and a one shot that's just like technical base. Oh these movements and blah blah blah blah blah. I agree. Like bird Man to me was cool, but it was like, okay.
I'm could have made the same movie without all of that.
But Bridger, you you've been around physical production is not one part of you impressed though to be able to pull that off or no, you're just completely not anymore?
Who cares? And you also we're talking about how stressful it is for everybody. Easy on ourselves.
Let's make it a dance note.
It is yeah, yeah, have you been have you been in like an eight minute scene? But being on an eight in an eight minute see without cuts is terrible?
No, no, no, my my my performance is based to like comedy. So I was never doing anything that was beyond me wearing a wig or fake vomiting or something.
Like that, like this theater. I don't want to memorize all this ship. I'm looking at my size before you call action, like this is.
Terrible, Richard. What's something you think is underrated?
Let's say, you know what, listening to albums on repeat?
Yeah, okay, I think I would pay Spotify five hundred dollars extra a month for them to leave the little repeat button on.
Just let me put an album.
You get good faults to it being on repeat?
Yeah, yeah, because the repeat thing goes off. I listened to the album and then suddenly we're getting into whatever bullshit Spotify wants me to listen to.
Just let me listen to the album again.
Yeah wait, So what what do you got on repeat?
Everything? What have I been listening to recently? This is embarrassing. There's this band, well, it's just a woman. She goes under the name of Bully. She has an album called Lucky for You.
That's so good.
Okay, every song's perfect.
She's kind of like it's like kind of mid nineties all kind of like you know, like fuzzy guitars and yeah, yeah, yeah, like catchy enough, but she's so good and I just want to listen to the album over and over. Let me and you can, but you have to push the stupid button.
Yeah, yeah, I agree with you. I've said this many times. I think like we as a consumer are trash in the way we listen to music. Now we move on very quickly. Like we used to actually live with albums, and we used to I think I probably said it on this podcast, Well, we used to live with albums. We used to like take our time before we would give a rating of an album and like let the album marinate and like wash over us and listen to
it over and over. And now was just like like when Kendrick's album came out last year and somebody listened to it the first time, it was like, I guess I was just wanting to be wild more. I'm like, you heard it once, bro, one time, and now you're ready to move on, Like it's just we are trying.
It's us. It's us. We are the pet, don't We're the problem with music because it's everything is just so accelerate and Spotify and iTunes is what really did it, because it's like now we just listen to singles and shit.
But hey, shout out iTunes for that visualizer though in the player, I love the visualizer. Miss the way my fifteen year old ass would get so high and listen to the Hot Boys remix featuring Nas Lil Kim and Missy Elliott, Oh my God, Escobar CB all Bikes. I mean, yeah, that whole thing was a moment. Yeah. I felt the same way. Like the last time. I remember when this Radiohead album in Rainbows came out, like fucking sixteen years ago.
It was like a pay what you want album, and I was like, this shit can't be good giving it away for free. I don't know why that was my mentality at the time, because I was like twenty two, I didn't know shit. And then like I sat down with it. My first thing was like I don't I don't fuck with this album. And then like I took a second and listened to it like all the way through. A few times, I'm like, this is this is great, This is actually great. It's a beautiful album. Yeah, it's true,
you do need it. You gotta let it marinate.
People have forgotten what acquired taste is. Yeah, some things take a minute.
Yeah, absolutely, because we do like is it is it tired or wired for me? You know what I mean.
I can't tell you how many times I've listened to an album and then like had a song on that album that I was like, I don't like this this much. And then like a year or two later, like started to be like, actually I love this song now is like it like fucking like hit my soul.
Finally, that's how I got into Carli ray Jepson because at first I was like, yeah, whatever, Carli rage, I know about that shit. Then my like partner, my wife, she's telling me about it all the listeners like you gotta fuck with she just listen to it, just take a listen. And I listened to I'm like, oh, this shit is actually good pop music. Like I have my first perception of what the music was. And then I just had to sit with and I'm like, yeah, run away with me. I'm like, yeah, we fuck with it.
Now she's got something to offer everybody.
Yeah, exactly, shout out CRJ. All right, let's take a quick break and we'll be back to talk about meta stepping on the scene of again with an additional, potentially toxic social media platform we'll be right back, and we're back. So I don't know if y'all heard. I don't know if y'all are there. I don't know if y'all are following me. Please follow me at miles of grays. I keep the handles consistent over all the app based applications.
But Threads has officially launched. The supposedly sanely operated or sanely ran version of Twitter, as Mark Zuckerberg called it, has launched, but obviously not in the EU because, as we discussed in an earlier episode, this this app is basically scraping your entire digital soul and giving it to advertisers in a nice package. So there's still have some privacy data things to get over in the EU. But according to Mark Zuckerberg, thirty million people have signed up
already for Threads. Are y'all on Threads yet?
Oh?
I am at? I am at Jackie's nil y'all on band from Twitter?
Yeah? Good? I mean r Twitter? Yeah we're out of here? Yeah, Bridger, what about you?
I signed up for it last night. But this entire situation at fit Twitter falling apart felt like the prison was on fire and we were all getting it out, and it's like we're all now like, well we found another person to go to. People are scrambling to trap themselves in another thing.
It's crazy. Yeah, I hate it. I thought we were free. No we're not. We've merely just again, We're just always gonna just out with the old, in with the new.
I guess we'll see. But Mark Zuckerberg promoted the app by posting on Twitter, which he has not done in like a few years now, and he posted the spider Man spider Man pointing to each other meme because but then part of me is just like, aren't you saying it's basically the same fucking thing, right, And in a way he's like, yeah, because I will give it to Meta. What they do is they rip off apps really well, like they know how to rip off a fucking app.
So I guess they're they're saying, hey, we're gonna We're gonna just straight up rip off Twitter, and it seems to be working. AOC has said, you know, maybe this could be a less toxic version of Twitter. I don't know about that, because let's be real, because Meta is still a garbage company that regularly ignores documented toxicity violent movements transgressive movements whatever you want, like problematic shit that,
and again promoting trends that are harmful to minors. We saw that in the fucking papers about Instagram and like mental health for teenagers and shit. And all they do is they say, no, no, no, we're all about lying going up. So part of me forgive me if I'm like, let's not act like this is some kind of completely different game. We're just It's like the Ronda Santis versus Disney thing. It's like, yeah, this guy is also terrible,
and this company is also fucking terrible. But I guess I give the edge to the company because they aren't aggressively discriminating against LGBTQ people, where in this one it's like pick your poison. Here. They're both massive social media companies that don't give a fuck about what's going on.
And Mark Zuckerberg is also trash, yeah, and has fight trash.
He can fight those.
You don't want to say I said he could fight, though, I know maybe.
He's got that. He's doing like a jiu jitsu fight with Elon Musk coming up, Like is he like rips now He's kind of doing like this agro trying to capture, recapture his masculinity thing, like he wore like a twenty pound flag vest and like did like the Navy Seal Tribute workout and like was post thing about it. And then now he's into Brazilian jiu jitsu.
If that man was fortant to be Dowey, just be Dowey. Yeah, I can't picture him as a tough guy.
Well, well he's he's a skinny nerd. What Zuckerberg is, Well, now he's buffing up. I love it. Let me tell you why I love it. Why I love it, Like, of course it's gonna be just as toxic. Like yesterday I saw Matt Gates on on threads like already Hunter Biden should go to jail already. I'm like, all right, first block, but like it's it's you know, it's gonna be toxic and ship too. But like if one billionaire is gonna take down another, you might as well take
down the one that I'm mad out now. So it's just like all right, man, like obviously we don't have the power right now to like take these bitches down, So like let's like let Zuck maybe take Eli that fight. And then and then when Zuck gets like, you know, little wobbly, Yeah, little wobbly. Then somebody, let maybe jay Z will come in and take them down, like somebody will say, we can just keep going like that until if we get them all out.
Till we get one, until we get one giant gazillionaire.
Who one gazillionaire.
I can handle that.
I can handle one gazillion at least at least the planet can focus all of its energy just on one person at that point and be like, we gotta get Rick, you know what I mean? Versus right now? It's like I don't know. I don't even get my head started spinning when I'm trying to identify the people that are the architects of our societal collapse. But anyway, it's also again another thing if you've used it, it kind of you don't really know if you can, like who's thread
posters or what do you call them? Threads that you can see, like if it's only from accounts you follow, like in your instance, unless you follow Matt Gates, they're giving you Matt Gates ship. And also a lot of people notice if you sign up, don't follow matg So okay, that's just popped up.
I follow it.
I follow him because I think he has interesting things to say that I think a lot of people, if they were just a little more open minded, they might, you know, see some truth in what he's saying.
But also makes him absolutely that's what I've been saying about Marjorie Tayler gree but nobody wants to listen to ya.
Finally, thank you you guys. You're slowly watching our right word pivot on the show. But the other thing is too A lot of people notice that you can't delete your account unless you delete your Instagram account. Oh yeah, like so it's like it's like like they.
Got signed up.
Yeah, you can't grow. You can deactivate it or whatever. So that's you know whatever. The search function is still somewhat glitchy, but again it's the first day and we will see where that goes. But again, I think a lot of people are just you know, when you look at it, you're like, is this gonna be much better? But I think for now I'm not seeing weird crypto ads quite yet, so at least that's a benefit. Or when I just type the word crypto, I'm not getting hit by a bunch of bots.
Yet I'm seeing a bunch of posts and ship from people that like I've only seen pictures from, you know, or I haven't had to hear their thoughts and yeah in the past few years and now like so it's kind of like, you know, it's kind of like Facebook and that, yeah, where I'm like, somebody I went to high school with is now just on my ship and I have to hear their thoughts about life.
Like because right there was there's my Twitter self and there's my Instagram self and reconciling the two. I think maybe a bit of culture shock for some of my Instagram people like that don't know who like know me from way back or whatever, like you know, miss like so many people misinterpret sometimes when I'm posting political things
and like backwards like conservative takes. You're like, yeah, exactly, I'm like, no, okay, but go ahead, you'll you'll find some people to fight with h in my mentions anyway. Uh so there's thread. We'll keep an eye out on that and see where that all goes.
What was your first post Bridge? Did you have you posted yet?
No?
I just I was like, what is this and then immediately closed it. Haven't followed anybody. I can't I can't get get dragged into this. Yeah, for you, oh, it follows them.
For you, It.
Follows a lot of people before you automatically. It follows like it follows like your Instagram like following list and shit.
Right right, I've fed off of Twitter for like two and a half years, and I really thought that it was over. So I'm just doing doing everything I can to avoid this.
Yeah, I mean, look, just do whatever you have to because we have to protect our psyche's at the end of the day. So you know, if you want to venture into digital swamp town, be our guest. And if not, that's all good too. Let's go to another swamp, the
White House, because they found cocaine there. And we talked about this story on Wednesday and we ultimately landed on that this is a dumb story that will only have you know, that'll only be fun for the conservatives to scream about because it has cocaine Biden White House in the headline. I mean, if you missed it, there was a little baggy of cocaine that was found in the White House in a very, as they say, a heavily trafficked area, not like in Joe Brandon's bathroom cabinets or
some shit. At first, it was only a headline because they weren't sure if the white powder that was found was of the party variety or the chemical warfare variety. So a has mad team had to come in, and that was news because a has mad team was going to the White House soon. The right wing media was just saying that this is proof that it was Hunter Biden. And you're like, what with connect the dots? So like, because he's done cocaine. They're like, but he doesn't live
at the White House. They're like, it's his and it's Joe Biden's too, And that's exactly how Trump's response to this story sounded. He posted on Kirklands signature Twitter aka truth Social quote does anybody really believe that the cocaine found in the swing of the White House, very close to the Oval office is for the use of anyone
other than Hunter and Joe Biden? But watch the fake news media will soon start saying that the amount found was quote very small and it wasn't really cocaine but rather common ground up aspirin, and the story will vanish. Has deranged. Jack Smith, the crazy trumpeting special prosecutor, been seen in the area of the cocaine. He looks like a crackhead to me, Oh okay, so he got it all in there. He got it all. He even referenced Leprechno. It looked like a crackhead got it all. He's got
it all in there. Again. I like that, he goes, it's just it's is that Does anybody believe that it's for anyone's use other than Hunter and Joe Biden? Like this is their little coke den that they have in the White House that's in a like a heavily trafficked area.
I would hope that it would have more coke if it was.
Yeah, that's the other thing, like a little baggy. Come on now, like did you have the dya be like, hey man, we got some bricks. We tested it. This ship is base man is Bouro. If you want that ship we can. You can smell it through the back.
Uh.
But are we I are red to believe that like these Republicans ain't also doing coke?
Like of course out here coked out if Madison, what's this guy Madison Cawthorne, the one dude who's in North Carolina who got ousted. He was he like his whole shit got like, his whole career started getting rocky when he was talking about how he knew about like the Republicans who do cocaine at the parties and stuff. Yeah, and I was like, of course, the fucking drugs cut. It's an omnidirectional weapon. Everybody getting hit. There's no yeah, there's no thing where it's like, oh my god, I'm
a Republican. I don't do cocaine. Yeah, you got demons, you're doing cocaine. Like, let's just be fucking real. But yeah, so again this was nowhere near the Oval office, but we get it. Trump is facing fucking new charges every day, it seems like. So this was like a brief moment for him to act like he isn't the one that seems to be in deep shit and could be like they're doing they're doing cocaine and it's their personal cocaine
that they have. They share their little baggie. They're one, they're half a gram, and they get fucking wasted off
of it. But the thing is, I would say Donald Trump would probably know something about, you know, having a son who may may or may not be in a perpetual state of being snowblind because we've seen Don Junior over the years and how many appearances has he done with eyes bigger than fucking Pikachu rubbing his nose and be like, the thing is the deep State man you got there, they're going after my dad and you're like,
whoa talking at light speed? And I think that's the thing that is intriguing to me is that's the idea that Trump was saying, that they're gonna say it was ground up aspirin and it wasn't that large of amount. That sounds like the kind of story you get your powerful lawyers to tell when your son gets caught with cocaine as like a kid or something and you want to get him out of trouble. I'd be like, it's
just ground up aspirin. It was a very little amount, and that I don't know, it's just so specific that I'm like, you weird and stupid. You've revealed your you've revealed your personal history, that this is something you probably have said in defense of your son. Who's because you're like, in your mind of a cocaine powerful son. Oh yeah, it's ground up aspen, very little amount. Boom.
Trump improperly when you said that. I was like people ground up aspirin. I didn't know that was a thing. No, that was I didn't know that was even a possibility of a lie. Right, that would be like that would be like you know if if like I said some ship and I was like, well, man, the sun was right on my block. When it like I'm saying impossible ship, it is impossible.
It's one of those lies with like one too many you there are lies. I have one too many details, And that's when you know it's a lie. It's like, yeah, you just stopped with ground up aspiring.
You probably could have.
Yeah, Like that's a decent lie. And it wasn't a small amount. Why why do you need that detail?
Yeah? Because that now you're talking. Now you're making like legal arguments right to be like what covering possession with intent intent to distribute? Because it was a small amount. I mean it was only like an ounce of cocaine, I mean ground up asprint.
Do we know? Do we know? Because like spoiler alert, the Obamas was smoking weed all the time.
He is not a drug. But go on with weed.
It is not a drug. We it's not a drug, right, But like, do we know our drug our drugs allowed in the White House, like like is.
There a drug dog like being like yeah, yeah, I'd imagine they only I'd imagine they're only trying to catch drugs like bomb, but like explosive materials like bumb weed.
So yeah, so like somebody even on the tour or something like That's what I'm saying. Like what like as long as you don't have weapons on.
You, yeah, you're good. Like you can bring cocaine.
Probably bring like a bag of cocaine in the White House.
Yes, you could bring back into the White House if you need to go in the bathroom and beam up really quick before you see the Lincoln bedroom. Then that's your fucking right as an American. I mean, you own that house anyway with your taxes. So yes, I'm a smoke weed in there. I'm gonna do whatever I want. My ancestors built that house. Oh I can't do a little cocaine in the bathroom.
I can't do a little cocaine. Well, my great great great great great Grandpappy built you know what I mean.
I'm wild if somebody comes back and claims it's their cocaine but they need it.
Back, Like oh that was actually, my can I get that back?
This is so embarrassing.
Oh, this is so embarrassing threatening to beat my ass if.
That rock.
You don't want my blood on your hands, do you, because that's gonna happen. I need to get this baggy back, I was saying on the other day when we were first talking about the story, like on Wednesday, I bet you the person who left it, they probably put it together at some point they're.
Like, oh shit, that's my baggy. I left the fucking white old boy.
Yeah, that boy sweating right now. Like I hope they don't find my fingerprints on that show.
I know right exactly. We'll see, We'll see what happens with that drag net. But yeah, again, the Trumps and cocaine. Who knows? Who knows what's going on there? Although Aubrey O Day, who used to date Donald Trump Junior, has said herself she's like, yeah, man was on them drugs for real, honey.
Yeah.
First, yeah, I'm never not sweating.
No, And also like when you do that like kind of I'm trying to snort up all the drip without you bringing my hands to my face, look like it's you sound like a bulldog. Trying to get upstairs or some shit. It's it's not a good sound. All right, Let's take a quick break and we'll be right back to check in with Q andon right after this. Yeah, and we're back.
Uh.
I just want to touch on a story that we've talked about. We've touched on a lot about a year and a half Agoing back in November twenty twenty one, we were talking about this group of Q and On followers that were camped out in Daley Plaza in Dallas where JFK was assassin as they awaited the return of JFK and JFK Junior, and upon their resurrection, they were going to announce Trump as God King or some shit.
And that was like a huge focal point for a lot of Q adherents because that felt like, this is the plan is going to come to fruition and we got like a whole christ narrative going on. The man behind this movement his name is Michael Prottsman, who had a knack of like using like weird ass numerology plus coincidence to like like really like make these wild Atlantish claims.
He also had a ton of other wild conspiracy theories like how Joe Biden was never actually sworn in as president and everything we are seeing in the news is actually part of a movie that is being shot in Culver City, California. You got very specific, So I guess Sony is making it. Yes, it's just that's very like, Oh, Culver Seal, that's Sony. Okay, cool, So Sony's behind this or that time he was in Dallas. This is the
wildest part. He was in Dallas, right, The Rolling Stones are playing in Dallas, And while all those people were camped out waiting for JFK JFK Junior to return, he said, Hey, y'all need to get me some tickets so I can go see the Rolling Stones concert tonight. They've got They paid for his tickets to go see the Rolling Stones because he was like, he was saying, like, I feel like I'm going to see something when I'm there, not
just maybe a band. I like that y'all are paying for He came back and he claimed at the Rolling Stones show that Charlie Watts the drummer, was replaced by Michael Jackson, the King of Pop Prince I believe was on keyboards. JFK Junior was I don't know, like Mick Jagger or something, and Aliyah was doing backup vocals. This is he said this ship with a straight face, and they're like, listen, man, uh huh, I know that part.
Let me tell you something. I wish I lived in this man's world because that's a bomb ass.
We all love that.
JFK. I don't know what he's doing, that's fine.
But as long as but we got Mike and press back, JFK Jr. Could just go at that point, you could throw anybody else the best time.
A bad tattoo that feels yeah for that tattoo.
Oh my god, Like you have all those people. It's like Michael Jackson on drums, Prince not even on guitar, And.
Then JFK is saying JFK is saying it not Michael Jackson, Prince, No, he's on drums.
He's on drums because he's black. I'm sure that's probably the logic. He's like racist logic. He's like Michael Rum, Michael Jackson has to be on drums or bass. I don't know. Prince triangle, yeah, Prince, he wasn't sure. Maybe ethnically so he's like keyboards. I don't know, but here we are. But anyway, Batman died Michael Proxman and his followers believe it's part of a plan for him to return as JFK. Some say he was actually JFK Junior
in disguise this whole damn time. The Southern Minnesota Coroner's Office says he died of blunt force trauma on a dirt bike from a dirt bite accident, but they said
they said he may have been gotten. And it's it's a it's a varying, very chaotic time right now, and despite his very real death, the conspiracies are only growing as his inner circle tries to They're like they're hiding the details from like this massive telegram channel that he like or was running, being like no, he's like he's having brain troublem things like that, and people just were like pulld up records like it sounds like he is deceased.
But this man was responsible for stealing a lot of money from his devotees, like many of whom we heard countless stories about how many of his followers were abandoning their families and even their children while like draining their bank accounts to fund this guy's nationwide tour of freaky ghost sightings, and it's like caused a lot of issues
for like, you know, bystanders. But for now, while his followers argue over what happened, it looks like other people are actively trying to take over the telegram channel to try and continue the grift on those questions. Yeah, it truly is. And like people are like, I now run the negative forty eight and they're like, no, you are you surper? So just drama and qu a man. You know you hate to see it, you really do.
First of all, good for him, take those morons money. Second of all, this man did not die of blunt force drama. He died of dreaming too big. Absolutely the truth.
Wow, you could run, you could run his channel. Now I might be the person in charge. Now yeah, you might go on go on to social media. I want to join and watch. They're gonna be like Bridger take that word. He's a bridge to r Republic, my domination. B the second letter, you're like, oh shit, here we go. This is how this ship takes off when your confirmation bias is said to fucking please melt. Yeah, you can.
You can make anything reality. So yeah, it was a dirtbike accident though, just so you know, he wasn't the deep state didn't off him. He he didn't know.
I don't know.
I don't have that much evidence, but but you gotta feel that could have They could have threw a stick in the spokes or some shit.
Yeah, or they're going to say something like, I don't know what the fuck they're gonna say, like he was actually evil Knieval on the bike and he was covering for that guy's death. Therefore JFK is him.
Well, if you're just going a helmet, we don't know who was under the helmet, thank you. Come on, okay, so think.
Yeah, do some research, do some research folks, okay, and then come back at me and creator. But we should also talk about, in pretty related news, the biggest movie that was at the box office on the fourth of July. The biggest movie on the day of the fourth of July was Indiana je Oh wait, no Sound of Freedom? Have you heard of? The top grossing movie was a
Christian drama about child traffickings. But just so you know, this record is only extends for the actual literal day of the fourth of July, So it was going up on a Tuesday, and people were watching this really weird film.
Now you're saying, what the fuck is going on here? Well, at least some of the money that went to this box office sort of count was due to the studio's use of a quote patent pending technology called pay it Forward, which quote empowers moviegoers to purchase tickets for other people whom they want to see a particular film. So it's like getting to It's like getting to the top of the New York bestsellers list, you know, the New York
Times bestsellers list. Just buy seven thousand of your own book, okay, and you'll.
Be for everyone's most annoying family member.
Oh yeah, can you imagine it?
Like bought you some tickets?
Oh you're like your wild aunt is like they bought me forty tickets to see this movie. Pay it forward or not? Pay it forward? Wasn't that movie with Kevin Spacey? Was Kevin Spacey and paid?
What was pay it Forward? I think I don't know who that is a movie, but I don't know who was in it?
Who was in it? Yep? It was all right. But anyway, Kevin Spacey got his own He's got his own legal problems right now.
It's just so funny that they buy a whole bunch of was like, listen the tickets was bald. I can't help what I was the only person in the theater.
Yeah, exactly. But the movie star stars Jim Covitzel who who you made from the passion of the Chrizi speaking drop an aramaic on you. But he's playing a real guy, Tim Ballard, who, according to the film synopsis quote, quits his job as a special agent with the US Homeland Security Investigations Department in order to become a vigilante who
hunts down human traffickers. Now, Covizo appeared on Fox News and he was like, oh, yeah, this is this movie is you know, straight from christ and I just want to hear you listen to him. He was like, on I guess Laura Ingram show, but Ingram wasn't interviewing him. But we'll just hear a little bit about him just taking a victory lap over this fantastic triumph of having the number one movie. Like in the realm, what's going on here? Why is Disney fighting? They're saying the pre
sales shouldn't come, but they do come. You're the number one movie.
Yeah, well, this isn't about them, and it's not about Angel Studios putting it out. It's about the children and Americans waking up right now, and the only way these laws are going to be changed is that if the people move right now to save them. This is a good versus evil story. This is a battled hero story, and I was very blessed that I got the opportunity, just as I was blessed to do the Passion of the Crisis. This is the best film I've done since
that film. It is a controversial issue. It shouldn't be We should just be naturally wanting to save our children. But again there's those out there that want to exploit them.
So he goes on, He's like, this is not Disney's film. We are the people's film, and God's children are no longer for sale. Boom hold that l child traffickers.
But the movie was funny to me, Not to not to catch you down, but it's so funny to me that, like some of these issues that they've percent, they act like people would disagree with exactly. I agree, we shouldn't be trafficking children. Yeah, Like, that's not that's not a controversial issue, bro, Like, well, yes, that's a pretty common fucking issue, Like, oh, that's a pretty common like take for the majority of people who don't traffic children.
Well, this is where this is where, this is where we go into q town though, because we know that QAnon's whole thing is about quote protecting the children, although these people don't know the first fucking thing about human trafficking exactly. So the movie was just just just a little bit of a q andon if you think about it. It was released on America's birthday, starring a conspiracy theorist
who played Jesus Christ and talks about QAnon all the time. Okay, Ballard, the guy who the film is based on, hasn't explicitly supported QAnon, although his and his organization now Hold on to Your Black but jack Keys Operation Underground Railroad is what his fucking organization is called. It even features a blurb on their website distancing themselves from quote conspiracy theory groups.
But Ballard has also claimed that theories like QAnon quote have allowed people to open their eyes, So it all seems pretty intentional where like where this is all going? And Ballard also he's expressed all kinds of transphobic bullshit in interviews and even blamed human trafficking on Biden's border policy, but his organization. I just want to drill down on
this for a little bit, Operation Underground Railroad. Despite their seemingly noble goals, it's a pretty controversial group for starters. They have ignored requests from black activists to change the organization's name and like this group has centered black and like Latin chill like Latino kids in all the fundraising imagery to be like help these poor children of color with our underground Railroad of creepy white saviors, and a lot of people have raised a lot of questions about
how this group operates. Like there was this time Ballard and his operatives went to a remote village and like in the border of Haiti and the Dominican Republic, in search of a missing child that they thought was being trafficked, only for the crew to find out that when they were there, the tip that led them there was from a quote psychic medium from Utah. Bridger, any thoughts I believe you're from.
You, it always comes back to Utah. Everything comes back to Utah. From there, I don't I can't have there's so much baggage.
You're not so, but you don't know this. You don't know the psychic just.
I wish I did.
Okay, I'm thrilled for her.
The other thing is they also exaggerate their successes. So one child they claim to have rescued actually just escaped by herself, and their partnerships with like local law enforcement often amount like what they do is they give local law enforcement just a donation in exchange for credit in press releases to be like, yeah, and we did that with our partners operations underground railroad, which they deny up and down, although there's a very there's like recorded evidence
that this is how they operate, and even when their missions are successful, they may still be doing significant harm.
Ballard he mounts sting operations posing as a wealthy pedophile looking to buy children for quote large amounts of cash, which critics and experts are just like, you're just provoking the very behavior that the group is ostensibly attempting to cur Like many trafficking experts, they say, Okay, this is dramatic, but quote such operations fail to address the complex social and economic problems that create the conditions for trafficking because they're.
Just like the worst cost playing I can possibly imagine.
Yeah, oh hell no, I'm a wealthy pedophile.
Looking for.
One writer recounted like a sting operation that she was asked to participate in which featured a camera crew because Ballard was making a pilot for a fucking reality show, and like all other like child like trafficking expert was just like, this is quote just likely another childhood trauma for the victims he was trying to help. So very messy. And the studio that put the movie out, Angel Studios.
They they made their like initial business of like editing mainstream movies to be like Christian friendly, uh, and then they got sued because they're like, you can't just edit these movies and themself.
Wait, is this another Utah thing they maybe do?
You know?
Angel Studios there was.
A Utah thing like this where they would edit videos and then they ended up getting sued into into oblivion and they would like sell burned DVDs of movies with stuff cut out of them.
They look, we let's like what stuff they didn't want in them?
Exactly?
Yeah, that's so funny.
Oh yeah, you know it provo Utah baby of course. So you already knew you already. It used to be called vid Angel. Yeah, I know. I'm like, I'm like, is this I don't know? Yeah, you never know, you never know. And lightly, let's lastly, let's just touch on some some like cringey shit justin Trudeau. Okay, So Taylor Swift's Era tours, Era's tour doesn't have any Canadian dates. A lot of people like, bru, when are you coming up to Canada? What the fuck? Like we fuck with
you up North Canadians? Are you know the Swifties up there? They're a little disappointed there, a little angry. Last month, a Conservative member of parliament filed a quote official grievance over Swift's reticence to bring her show across the border, and not because they were a fan, but due to
just quote the economic opportunities her shows generate. And the quote unquote grievance was supported by other politicians who claimed to have like no idea how any of this works, probably because there is no official government protocol for complaining about a pop stars touring schedule. But here they go.
They're trying. A lot of people say, there's probably a few reasons why Taylor wouldn't take her tour to Canada, won the capacity of the stadiums a little bit smaller, and we know Taylor's a capitalist baby that week Canadian dollar would likely mean hiking ticket prices even higher to match like what the fucking take in is and some of these other venues that she goes to. But just when you thought things couldn't get even weirder, U, I
just got to say, just in true. So Taylor Swift posted like additional dates of the tour and without like any Canadian dates, and Justin Trudeau tweeted like referencing her songs, tweeted, it's me, Hi, I know places in Canada would love to have you, so don't make it another cruel summer. We hope to see you soon.
Oh boy, I was on Canada's side for a minute.
Yeah, horrifying. Yeah, but hey, you know, just get hey, get your dollar up. You know that's just the work, you dollar, get your dollar up, you know what I mean? Maybe I'll be there.
Speaking of Carly ray Jepson, just she's a Canadian. Have her come do some tours?
Yeah, shit, exactly exactly.
Listen, you know, look, I I I appreciate like listen. There's presidents here that would be like, you know what, yeah, we got all these issues, but so and so got to come back on tour, baby, Like, that's that's one issue that I'd be like, you know what, this man is for the people. This person is for the people. You know. He was like, Beyonce, you got to get them ticket prices down. I'll vote for that president in a minute. In a minute.
Yeah right.
It's like, listen, Beyonce, I love you, I love you girl, love on top. The ticket price is way too high.
But do it on the phone. Don't do it an at reply.
Yeah, dude, show it on the pact. Come back when you win that. Come back when you win that argument. Like, guys, look I fought for you and here it is, look.

So there's one that is I don't know who wrote it, but it is like it says John Cena, I love you, her, I love you too, When can I see you? And then John Cena and he just looks down and the press like you can't see.

Right wing conservative mom Lady Tiffany for just for Tiffany Justice tweeted. Two moms traveling from Washington State sat in front of two ANTIFA members on the plane. The two men had just met and discussed being given debit cards. Their accommodations were also paid for while they
were in Philadelphia to protest manufactured division. Who's money? And then Mike Drucker goes on to complete it quote and then they said their plan was to turn all the kids gay with books, and then they drank blood from a Christian skull, and then a soldier told them to leave America, and everyone applauded with tears in their eyes.
