JFK Jr., Elon Musk, and Some Guy Named Brandon Walk Into The Discourse...

to be on the show. And we set up a meeting and I call a phone meeting, and we were shooting this ship for like twenty minutes before I realized that they didn't want to cast me in it. They were asking if I wanted to cast it, and I said, oh, if you wanted to be the casting director. Yeah. Apparently Adult Swim I used to I used to a long time cracked, and Adult Swim apparently has me on a list of casting directors. But it was a big disappointment. It was, and we all had an awkward laugh and

I went about my life. Anyway, we can keep this story in or we can cut it. I'm fine with it. I mean, I'll tell my embarrassing Birdman story. Okay, I have on a couple of occasions in my life shouted it at the moment of climax, because it has quite an impact on people, especially if they grew up watching the show. Not a positive impact. Don't get a lot of repeat business when I do that. But it's the thing I've done. Is this a real story? Robert, yes, that I would never lie to you, he says, with

a twinkle in his eye. Would I tell every person one lie? Okay, a different one. It's a different one for each person. Yeah. I once convinced a dear friend of mine that the band Hanson had all died in a bus crash. Oh yeah, well that's true. That's how that the beautiful thing. I just brought it up like casually one day, and then like a year later, we were at a party and someone brought Hanson up, and my friend was like, Oh, it's so sad, what happened

to that bus. That's the funniest thing that's ever happened. I love. Oh my god. Um, I mean, I'm a bad person. This is the worst year ever. How are you? Okay? Hill's the our names Welcome to the show. Oh right, I'm your name. Welcome to the show. Welcome to the show. I'm welcome. Welcome to the show. Today, Chris Pratt, we are we are trying to offload all of our narration duties onto Mr Pratt. Yeah, apparently got the time. My name is Katie. That's right. I knew there was something

I was forgetting. I was trying to come up with some sort of Chris Pratt joke and I had nothing, and here we are. Um, yes, this is the joke, Katie. I know. I'm just agreeing with whomever today. Um, I'm good man, I'm Katie, I'm good. Yeah. Weekend feels like everybody did Halloween up this year as opposed to last year. Yeah. I was in Portland, goes pretty hard on Halloween. So they were like kids in the street and a party, people doing stuff like it was like it was like

the first episode of Stranger Things. All sorts of kids, very festive. It was a good time. No no monsters. But I had the opposite, Um my neighborhood because there's a there's a just school. Uh yeah, so they do not they do not do the Halloween here. We learned when we put a bunch of grades. I don't get it, and skeletons and got like five kids stop by it. You would think that a neighborhood, nearest school would be

filled with kids. Not not that kind of kids. Are not not not this kind of it's not that kind of school. They are not allowed to enjoy things. Oh that kind of No, no, no, not with religion in the mix. Speaking of nodding, nodding, speaking, are we doing heroin, Katie? Is this finally happening? Let's do it? I'm on board the Halloween? Oh uh? Not being able to enjoy or whatever. I was responding to something and now it's too late. Speaking of should we talk about some news? Oh? Speaking

of that, have you talked about the news? We didn't talk about discussing this. But apparently JFK Jr. Did not come and deliver it's to all the Q and on people gathered waiting for him today when I guess he was opposed to a stadium in Dallas. Am I am I remembering this correctly, Katie? I don't know. I know

it's on this. Before sitting down here, I saw the pictures of the people with like the Trump candy shirts, like it's really funny to me that they think that Trump would like like like like if JFK Jr. Was select, he would be the VP. Like it's so weird. It is very funny. It's really like the pictures are like funny but also like really sad. It's a huge bummer. Yeah, it's a big time. It is in Dallas. It's in

downtown Dallas. It does seem like I think that it's happening and that Yeah, he was going to show tweeted this, but I'm going to mention it here. Um before the pandemic somewhere you're leading up before. I mean, we all knew about Q and On, but a lot of people maybe perhaps didn't understand what was happening. Um, I had an uber driver. Oh, I'm sorry on Q and On and I well, I mean I bring this up because I did think it was silly and funny at the time,

Like I couldn't wait to tell Cody. But it's tragic. It's fucking heartbreaking. And he pulled over to show me

on his phone. He like turned around and pulled up his phone and he goes, look at this, and it was, um, a collage of tiny pictures of jfk Jr. Spelling out to and then he just went and I mean, sure, yep, I see what you're saying here, you know, and but it's it's heartbreaking and it's very what's awesome is so today in Dallas, UM, what looked like a couple of hundred people showed up anticipating not just JFK Jr. To make his announcement to come back to life in d

Lee Plaza where his dad was murdered, UM and to announce his his candidacy for vice president there, which if you just try to get yourself in the head, assuming jfk Jr. Was alive, would he pick to start his campaign the place where his father's head was exploded? Probably?

I would probably probably not Maybe, I mean maybe the place you choose is you know, I mean, not about your future campaign and no, knowing what I know about jfk Jr. If he were going to announce his campaign, he would do it by crashing a plane into the sea. What an announcement feel spectacle? Anyway, that's not the news we prepared to talk about. So speaking, it's a little bit of news speaking of JFK Jr. Thank God is well.

Biden has delayed the release of the JFK files. Um he had to the assassination of his George H. W. Bush, did it exactly? Well, so that's the thing, Like it's like it's first of all, it's wild that like is like under the rug just like by the way, like we're delaying these So okay, the reasoning for this, it's just very it's funny, I guess. Um. According to the memo issue by Biden, the National archivis recommended postponement because the coronavirus pandemic. Oh sure, yeah, that would that would

make it a problem delayed. Well, you know, there might be some diseases you know, sealed up with them that if we opened it now and released it. And it's just such a party thing. You know. You get you get access to the JFK assassination files, you're gonna want

to go to the club to read them, you know exactly. Um, like a key part of this quote, Uh that's not even like the kicker so uh, because the coronavirus pandemic, it delayed the review of records necessary to protect against quote and identifiable harm to the military, defense, intelligence operations, law enforcement, or the conduct of foreign relations. Is of such gravity that it outweighs the public interest in disclosure. Um, it hurts the image of the United States government. So

I'm very curious what's in them. Maybe they meant something else. Uh So, apparently some documents will be released on December, others will be late two. Um, we'll see about that. We're gonna check in, I guess on December to see if they're further delayed. Buts and they just they're just trying to protect Bernie Sanders. So respect to them, mad

respect What else I mean? Uh So, a very funny thing has happened, which is that Republicans have convinced themselves that let's go Brandon is a is a real BADASSU standing for we explain, let's go Brandon. I really just learned about that this week. Some sports teams fans were yelling fuck Joe Biden, and an announcer at the game mishearded as let's go Brandon. I think because there was a player named Brandon. I don't know, and okay, yeah, I didn't want to get into this a little bit.

It's because it's very silly from from both sides it is. I was I wanted to talk about the Democrats, but yeah, yeah, yeah, uh. From the start of this more or less it was I believe it's a Nascar uh Nascar, and they were talking to someone named Brandon Um. And first of all, so like I don't know if you know Jesse Kelly from the Federalist, I think he he sums up the

perception of the right about this moment very well. Uh. It's the original story of an announcer blatantly lying about it and then the Communists freaking out over any regime criticism catching on, which, first of all, I don't know if you've talked to any Communists, but they are more than welcome to criticize Joe Biden and might even join

in on a chant of Fuck Joe Biden. But basically the crowd at this NASCAR race was chanting fuck Joe Biden, and the reporter was talking to someone named Brandon, and she was like, oh, look they're listen, They're they're cheering for you. There's cheering let's go Brandon Um, which I think is an honest mistake because Fuck Joe Biden, Let's

go Brandon. She's literally talking to a guy Nam Brandon's a crowd of people in a stadium with all these like uh like not even in time with each other, all these voices from all different directions shouting his thing. I think it's perfectly reasonable to mishear that and like say that, oh, they're saying this for you. The right took that to be the fake news is lying for Joe Biden. They're protecting them. They don't want you to

know that they were shouting fuck Joe Biden. Um, so right off the bat, it's a misinterpretation of the actual moment that happened. Feeds into their narrative, Like fake news doesn't want you to say anything about Joe, feed into it. They just why are they even saying that? It doesn't I know why Biden? Well, but they were, that's the thing they were. And now it's like a joke. They got it. They finally have a second joke. Congratulations, you got a second joke. Uh, And it's let's go Brandon.

And so they've started to say let's go Brandon when they mean Joe Biden, not because they're afraid to say fuck, but because it's this little in joke they have. There was that Southwest Pilot and then it kept going Yeah, and now it's a thing that's sort of being framed as like it's like the new Okay sign, it's the new like it's a new Nazi thing, and it's like, no, it's just a little and they don't like Joe Biden. It's a troll joke. Yeah, the thing that I I can't.

So there's a company called Palmetto State Armory which makes low end gunned parts. It's like cheap low end gun parts, particularly a lot in a lot of cases for like building your own like a R S and stuff. And they release there's a thing called a lower receiver. It's the part of the gun that's legal the gun. It's like the center of an a R fifteen UM. And they've been selling for years once with different slogans. They

there's a bunch of maga ones out like that. You can get all sorts of ship printed on your fucking guns, um, like some of them have it will have it so that like the safety says, you know, uh, I don't know. There's like pirate ship or like a vast in yard

like all sorts of like branded silly guns. And they put out a let's go Brandon rifle and now a bunch of like one former FBI agent and a bunch of very credulous journalists are all like spamming the A t F and the Secret Service about this as if it's a death threat, which no, they're doing anything they always do where they put little memes on their guns. It's not a death threat, they're not. It's like, yeah, it's deeply printing. Let's go Brandon on a rifle. It's fine.

They have the right to do that. Like shut up. Um yeah, I saw that someone like like I contact the FBI about this, Like, well then you're waste of time. So f dear FBI. Someone used their free speech. Just

write something that it's not a threat. Um yeah. And like I've seen I've just seen a lot of the media like like these like a lot of former FBI agents and like CIA and like uh just be like media figures just being like this is the new like this is like maga's zeek hile, Like this is like I can't believe you're saying this and treating it like this thing. It's like it's totally cool and fine and good to save fuck whoever the president is. Whoever the president. Uh,

that's like our thing. It's like a really good thing to be to be able to do and to frame this like it's like this like racist dog whistle. Maybe we'll be I don't know. There's just plenty of things to be genuinely upset about other than this. And also the comparison comparing it to the okay symbol, it's just flat out wrong. That was a symbol that got appropriated to become something else and then people were using it without knowing what it meant, etcetera, you know, versus a

phrase that was created and as a joke. And yes, we get to say fuck Joe Biden. If you want to say fun Joe Biden, you can just say fun Joe Biden. Um, and like say it's a silly joke, that's fine, but like to view it as this like horrendous thing and like then so with the pilot uh

again it's again it's silly from all sides. So like the pilot uh shouldn't have probably said that because most like most jobs have like don't be political to your kid, And there's a reasonable case to make, like if you're a pilot, all these people's lives are in your hands, so completely reasonable to be like, well he shouldn't be saying stuff like that. Uh, they might have a policy he signed saying he wouldn't do stuff like that, and he did, and if he did, then there should be

some sort of consequence for that. But then like you just know that if he gets fired or disciplined in any way, the right is going to take that. It's like, see, you can't say anything these days. The wokes have like they're canceling everybody for let's go Brandon. That's a will know. It's like a completely reasonable reaction. And if you were to flip this and a pilot said fuck Trump three years ago, everyone would great show well he'd I'd be fired.

But the people who are saying fire this guy would be praising that pilot for saying fuck Trump. Like I mean maybe not, but like there's definitely like and unnecessary thing to do from the pilot with a bunch of people on your plane as a pilot, for sure. Um, but I was looking at this because there was a pilot h a year or two ago that was like telling a bunch of like Trump supporters on the plane that he would like drop them off in Kansas, like over the p as, like I could drop you off

in Kansas. It was written up as this, like, oh, he's threatening Trump supporters, Like, well, no, they were being loud and racus on the plane, and much like all pilots do, if that happens, he says he's going to drop you off somewhere that you're not going to go. Um. Yeah, it's just all very silly, uh and everyone. Yeah, And it's if the fucking liberals yelling at at this point about banning shit, all they're doing is making it like easier to suppress left wing speech, because that's the only

thing that would ever actually get suppressed. Like no one's ever going to get arrested for whole owning a fucking let's go brandon a R fifteen, But someone might go to prison for having a red flag on their plate carrier, like that dude who went to prison for three and a half years because he posted about organizing in the

wake of the January sixth attack. Like, anytime you make calls like this to suppress speech because it makes you kind of uncomfortable, all it does is blowback on you and wind up getting people in prison who are not not your enemies. Because that's the way our government and our law enforcement system works and you should be smarter than that, you fucking dummies. Yeah, um, I don't know or not, but like it's also silly. Let them say, there's let them say, let them say their second joke. Yeah,

it's supid joke. And it's like, just from a practical standpoint, did you go to a fucking public school. If so, you know that the fastest way to kill something like this is not to talk, is just to ignore it, don't give it air. Yeah, yeah, there's a reason if we weren't reacting to it in some capacity, it would blow over. Um speaking of blow over m time for some ads. I hated it. You're gonna blow us them at your way together everything, don't don't back the red

leave India there. Um, let's talk about Elon Musk, right, are we tweets? Um? Yeah, we're going to talk about him trolling the director of View and Food Scarcity Organization on Twitter, because that's what it was. He's trolling him. Um yeah, basically saying he would give him six billion dollars if he could prove how that would solve world hunger. And there's a lot of things about this stupid conversation

that people it seemed to be getting wrong. One on the surface is like, how many of the Elon musk it's Elon Muskets, what's the term for them. Yeah. I actually thought that this was like some generous offer, Like yeah, like the time he fixed the water in Flint, Michigan, which he totally he did, or the time that he saved those kids in that cave, which he totally did. You know the other times he's done this and it

wasn't scam. It's been a superhero. Um. This has been framed like as a response to to um, you know, the claim that six million dollars from billionaires would fix world hunger. But that's not what happened exactly, UM. But rather it was suggested that it would go a long way in helping. I don't know, the whole thing really frustrated me. This is from CNN. This is what was

actually said. Billionaires need to step up now on a one time basis, said David Beasley in an interview on CNN's Connect the World with Becky Anderson Tuesday, setting specifically the world's two richest men, Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk, six billion dollars to help two million people that are literally going to die if we don't reach them. It's not complicated. He added, a perfect storm of several crisis is such as climate change in the COVID nineteen pandemic.

Mean many nations are knocking on Famine's door. Just true. That's the thing we've been talking about for a long time. I mean, first off, don't knock on that door. Stay away from Famine's house. But stay then away from you just don't. It's not it's not going to be cool. You don't need to be there. Don't funk with famine. Um. This is a side note. I'm not sure if you guys saw this. There's probably been a variety of articles.

I read an article on Daily Beast this week about how the military is actually is already preparing for climate change wars. Um and they've spawned from fit by famine. Um. And and many people believe that it's already started. Yeah,

and they've started. The kind of transfer of military equipment to police has been accelerated for police departments who can make a climate change use case for their equipment because the way in which the ruling class is going to deal with the consequences of the world that they've refused

to let us change in any meaningful way. Is they're going to arm the cops more, Uh, in order to stop people from taking any kind of justice, and in order to protect the increasingly small enclaves that they have to protect themselves from, you know, the consequences of yeah, climate change. Uh, it's cool stuff. And police are way better to do that within the military, because, for one thing, soldiers are not as indoctrinated in fucking cult bullshit as cops are. Uh, And it's harder to get them to

murder their families for you. But cops will murder all anybody's fans. Don't give a ship as long as you let them live in a slightly nicer neighborhood than everybody else. They'll they'll they'll fire into a crowd with live ranmo. They don't give a fuck anyway. I mean no, that's yeah, right on the money. Um. This is this is a quote from the Daily Beast. Um just along these lines. I'm just using this to point out what's happening around

the world. According to a recent article published by the political risk analysis firm Global Risk Insights, there may already be reasons to think violence in Somalia is linked to climate change. Millions of Somali people have begun to face food and security after almost continuous dry spells since the East Africa drought. Um. Anyway it goes on, that is just to point out what it is that we're looking at and how this it's already happening and will continue

to accelerate. Um. And here he is trolling the guy in creating all of this conversation. Yeah, he doesn't actually care. Um. It's well, it's it's frustrating because like he's responding in a way that like he doesn't mean any of it. Even if there was, there's there's nothing you could present him with, not even the clearest action study, like laying out dollar by dollar how you would actually eliminate hunger

using his money would get him to give you a dime. Also, just some points here, because there's been a lot of chatter back and forth of like actually dot mount of money wouldn't begin to you know, tip of the iceberg in this whole conversation about how there was eight billion just last year, um, and that didn't solve it. Again,

this isn't about solving. This is about helping. And the point of the six billion was yes too, include what's happening now recently, the the the effects of the pandemic and climate change, and all the different insecurities and instabilities around the world, etcetera. The whole thing has been discussed.

There's also the fact, like, yes, like you can't just pour money and to solve hunger because there's a lot of different political and military realities, a ton of different things that kind of feed into the fact that people

are starving in the world. But one thing that would help to eliminate starvation is if a tiny, tiny fraction of the world's population did not hoard all of the wealth and fight egregiously against any kind of reform to make climate change less devast dating and against any kind of reform to reduce inequality not just within the United States but globally and thus increase the ability of people to take care of themselves. Um and Elon Musk's money

is a symptom of that problem. Um And know him giving away six billion dollars doesn't solve anything but us building the world in which he doesn't get to accumulate that kind of money. Exactly, exactly, Although yeah, give away billions of dollars if people can eat for a year because you did that, even if it's not solving the

world's climate crisis. But I'm not even asking that. I'm talking about changing the structure, the systemic structure, and how we let them get away with this ship, and yeah, we're gonna solve the world's problems and it's gonna be great. I find elon must to be so distasteful and frustrating and uh. I also Mr Jeff Bezos has discussed his planned to give a couple of billion dollars to plant trees.

I believe, yeah, which doesn't I mean, it's it's a miniscule piece of of of an effective but like, actually just adding trees doesn't do much. Number one, re foresting, like damaged forests, does a lot more than just kind of planting new ones that you've already destroyed and without kind of the secondary species that grow up around it. The forests aren't much of a climate a carbon sink actually,

and also have very little resilience to fire. Anyway, there's a whole bunch of reasons why planting trees is part of of of a successful real wilding project, but it's like the twenty percentage of it, Like I mean, like most things, the climate, Uh, there's so many different factors that go into it and so many variables that you need a multi pronged approach to actual suppress it. Um. And I just find it's frustrating when so he spoke to this climate summit Glasco and you gotta say it right,

Glasgow glars gums, that's a glars gum conference. That that's what they call it. He was at, Uh, here's this just like a little choice quote from his speech. Um, we've discussed this before, but I was told that seeing the Earth from space changes the lens from which you view the world, But I was not prepared for just

how much. And I just find it very funny that he keeps coming back to this idea that his space flight changed his perspective to the point where like what he's doing is just like, yeah, there's like some money for this, Like he the things he's doing are things any like reasonable adult with that kind of money would know needs to be done. Like there's no like profound change in his behavior, Like he shouldn't have required to

go to space to realize this. No, it's a talking point that he gets to say, yeah, it would be It would be rad if he was like, you know what, space changed me, and so I am completely rejiggering and revamping Amazon into an armed militia to murder fossil fuel executives. That would be kind. I would. I would alter my opinions on Jeff Jesus. I would. I would be like, you know, that's a man who's changed. But like this is like just like it amounts to like, yeah, you're

like a grown adult. You know that the climate is important and the climate change is real. So like, what did you actually learn? Um? Speaking of change? M this is a good one. How about that coin toss for good luck fighting the climate emergency? I don't know. Yeah, no, they solved it. They threw all the money in the pond. They solved it. Very It's like it's obscene a little bit.

Did you see Joe Biden fall asleep during the same Joe, Yeah, I mean honestly though, yes, you know, but it's the most important meeting ever because it's gonna fix the climate. I don't know. I hate the idea that I have a meeting like this, there's any chance that it could it could help things because even show up. Yeah, yeah, it's pointless, there's no no value in them doing this. Apparently Russia once. I mean now the new you know, trade wars will be who gets to control the new

waterways as the Arctic melts. Um, that's big on Russia's list here. Um. Yeah, it's all depressing. I don't know that there's much to talk about in because it's still ongoing. Go ahead, coody. So then the all the people there, the nations there have committed to achieving carbon neutrality by four around mid century, so getting there right on it or around yeah, um, good, it's hard. It's like it's

as bad. It's a bad situation, guys. I mean people around the world look to the U. S U. S is the you know, I think, the worst pollutic, worst polluter per person, yeah, in the world, and people look to the United States to lead the way. And of course we we we removed ourselves from the Paris Climate Agreement under Trump, which you know Biden apologized for this week. Um, But in general, the world looks to us, and we

can't get anything done. Joe Biden can't pass his own climate initiatives here in the United States, so they're supposed to to follow our lead. How you know what I mean. Anyway, we're America, We're leaders, will do it. Yeah, I don't know. I oh, I just get an email from Sepack. Cool. Are we going this year? Start your week by saving America? How it's about the election in Virginia. Well that's a nice pivot. There's an election in Virginia. Should we take

a break and then do that after the ads? Yeah, break together everything, welcome back the show. You are listening to. It's election day, everybody, do you want to talk? It's been a fucking year since the election. That's a rip the election. Um, that's weird. It's weird to think that it was just a year ago, and that it was only a year ago for me personally, Um, and how stressed out I was this time last year, just losing my mind. It was me, it's a lot of people. Yeah,

but we did it and then fixed everything after that, right. Yeah, that's why this series just flown by all the progress that's been made. You know, I can't even keep track of it. I couldn't even get to list all the progress that's been made. We got the oh I mean he uh, you know, the he did he did repeal some of the bands on people serving in the military. So now all that additional money going into the military can go more people in state. The remain in Mexico. Paul, Yeah,

that's why there's nobody in concentration camp. Success to m hmm. I just love that we got out of Afghanistan. And then uh oh, I mean the murdering kids thing we've just been doing for forever, that's not new. Um, old hat they called old hat a b MC. We got everybody faxed up with open everything back up, and uh, the bills are happening, you know. Uh, we started much like golf, you want it to be lower, so we're getting it down to like one point two trillion, which

is a good score for golf politics. Yep, that how bills work. Yes, yes, okay, m hm yeah. Uh what did you guys want to talk about now? It seem like there's enthusiasm to talk about this election day stuff. I mean, you know, Virginia Republicans are trying to take the state Congress back from a Democratic majority that's that's thin, but but has been in place for a little while now. Um,

I think it's an eight seed advantage in the House. Um. In a pretty split Senate Uh, everything is going to be up for election in two but like there's some stuff I don't know up now, and then there's uh, what's his name this? Uh Terry mcaulliff, Terry who sucks? Also, yeah, those is an old friend of Hillary's. Yeah, and Terry mccaulliff set a bunch of great ship about what happened

in Charlottesville and then did absolutely nothing to hard. I know we haven't talked about this election very much, um or at all, but it part of it is that is that I'm not enthusiastic about either candidate. Obviously we would prefer to have a Democrat win, but um, this is a really really tight race. You Kin was slightly ahead in the polls, but it's unclear. Um Biden wants it to be known that that this race does not

reflect his White House performance. Donald chump Um comes into the last minute and endorses Glenn Yunkin so that he doesn't get responsibility if he loses, but he also gets to say that he helped him win. Ah, YadA, YadA, YadA. This absolutely should be something that we're looking to as a signal as to what's going on and what we might expect in Um, it's maybe not the be all,

end all indicator, but it's worth paying attention to. Yeah, I mean, I guess the mid terms were I had some stuff to tell us about, uh where the nation was headed. The mid terms certainly will, but then also the Democrats didn't do anything with it. So I don't know, Like I just what do? What do? I is all the Democrats can promise me that they're not gonna like be as nakedly fascistic as the Republicans, because that's, um, I'm not gonna do it. That's how I feel. I'm okay.

So there's a pole that of the country thinks that we're heading in the wrong direction. I roll my eyes at that pole a little bit in that. I'm like, we'll give me specifics. Yeah, I think that we all can agree that we're not doing something right, but I think that there's a disagreement as to what we're doing wrong.

Like some of those people, uh you know, are mad about it things for different reasons, but in general, I think everybody's mad that nothing's happening and nothing's changing, and that the problems are blatant um and there's absolutely no progress, no action, and no backbone yeah, and it's you know, the the attitude is is just like what we have to compromise. We have to compromise, you can't get everything. And it's like, well, but we're not getting anything. Mansion

isn't moving his number at all. We're just going down to him. He's dictating your entire agenda, and nobody else's opinion matters on anything. I another thing I tweeted, but I was like, I was thinking about, like if if Donald Trump was president and you know, Joe Mansion was holding up his entire agenda, he would be pubally shaming

him talking about it on Fox News. And I'm not saying that I want Joe Biden to do that, but in general, there there's a difference in messaging that happens that we are so bad at We're so bad at playing this game of public opinion of of you know anyway, Yeah,

I mean, and there's a bunch of ships. Like part of the problem is that there's a bunch of ship Biden could have done even without Mansion in cinema that Trump would have done the right wing equivalent of like he could get rid of student loan debt um, he could do an emergency Authoration authorization UM to expand medicare, he could fucking push to legalized pot, Like what the fuck we haven't we haven't done that ship yet, Like it's the that's that's the kind of thing that actually

does have like bipartisan support, and yes, it's the one thing everybody wants and we like just why no, I'm not going to take this easy dunk this, Like nobody would be against it's it's political suicide to be against legalizing pot. But but apparently not because he was pretty clearly against it and became the president. So yeah, but it wasn't that was not what the The election was a referendum on and pot polled better than anyone. Like he didn't. He didn't. He also didn't make it a

thing at all. Yeah, he didn't. I'm not gonna do it. He was like, yeah, I'm not gonna do that. Yeah. Um. And he and he he specifically like didn't really talk about it. Where where Uh what's his fucking name is it? Grasp? No? Um, oh, I'm forgetting which Democrat? But one of one of the Democratic Congress people was constantly talking, uh Schumer. Where Schumer was constantly talking about like yeah, we're gonna we're it's gonna come up for a vote. We're gonna decriminalize it,

like we're going to do it. Uh nothing, fucking crickets um. And at some next election, some fucking Republican or Trump is gonna just jam that in with murdering trans people on the ballot in the win an election. Yeah, sprinkling those things with the bad things. And but that's you know, the how the Democrats are smart, they know how to deal with politics. Yeah, they just find uh, Marjorie Taylor greenyod dollars for not wearing a mask on the House floor. Oh,

that's gonna make her a lot of money. That is going to make her a lot of money. Yeah, that's gonna be nothing. That's gonna make her more than absolutely probably going to pay your salary to yeph. Probably gonna help her get reelected when she needs to do that too. Yep. She's been fine twenty times for not wearing a mask. After receiving initial warning in May, she was find five dollars for her first spense for each subsequent offense. Well

functioning nations, so great, we're all clearly doing well. We end on something nice. Everybody say something recommends something that they've been watching. I'll start the next thing. You should eat David Chang's new show. It's really good. I've only watched a couple episodes. It's fascinating. You know. Each one talks about different elements of the food industry, you know, the future of meat, how it's going to be grown, how restaurants are having to evolve during the pandemic. That

one's actually kind of hopeful. Um, it's interesting. I like it. Hm. I recommend going outside taking a deep breath of that one. Yeah, that's a good one. Succession is good this season. Succession, you pick one. I've been pickling. We we just I pickled the last of my harvest last night. Got a lot of pickled onions and green tomatoes. And when the pickles are fully pickled, I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna fry out some of those pickled green tomatoes. It's gonna

be good as hell. How long does that take? No? No, probably a week or so. I'll leave them pickling before I cook the first of it. Um, yeah, not not much. Other than that, I watched Detroitter's Finally you'll see Detroitter's tim Robinson from I think you should leave? Yeah, you well and Sam Richardson right, Yeah, and Sam Richard.

I am absolutely in love with how thoroughly that show understands what the internet wants. It's like every skit is just crafted to be a thing that people lose their goddamn mind home Runs watched it, yet you don't watched. I think you should leave. You really, I've seen I've seen an episode that was very fun. Me.

I'll send you some. I'll send you gotta you gotta watch the best so much of I think you should leave skits like one way or another, explain things happening in the world, like n f T S or just the Dan Flashes skit like they all function on Dan Flashes logic, and it's it's it's beautiful that I don't even think that was intentional. There's just there's just so much wonderful human nature in that show. But a great show playing the prank in the mall. Yeah, yeah, it's

it's all. It's all great, it's all great. So this is this is what we're reduced to because we're so tired of the fucking I know.

I was hoping you're going to say, and it's bad. Why did you guys recommend this? This is No, it's really good so far. It's really it's I mean, it's intense,

but it's good. Yeah. I had a terrible experience with music recently where I was listening, so I got sent a song that was like made up of a bunch of cut up star Trek the Next Generation clips and I was like, oh, this is fun. And then I looked into the artist and it turns out he's fucking fascist. I was like, oh no, why why did I Why did I look up this person? Why why would I do that? I should know, but I never looked You never look up people. All right, Well again we were
