Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of The
Weekly Zeitgeist. These are some of our favorite segments from
this week, all edited together into one NonStop infotainment laugh stravaganza.
Uh yeah, So, without further ado, here is the Weekly Zeitgeist. Well, Miles,

(00:25):
we're thrilled to be joined in our third seat by
one of the best podcast hosts doing it anywhere. And
my old friend from the Crack Day is a Jeopardy champion,
the host of the Wonderful podcast secretly incredibly fascinating.

Speaker 2 (00:37):
It's Alex Schmall.

Speaker 1 (00:39):
Hey, commit and die copper Ka don't like my driving
dial one eight hundred each me, you go.

Speaker 3 (00:49):
So stupid? Are you going to the rest of my
bumper stickers?

Speaker 2 (00:52):
Yeah? Those are my favorite, the dozens that you sent me.

Speaker 3 (00:59):
It's so great to be here, And yeah, I know,
it's been nice having lived in Los Angeles previously and
knowing how large it is, knowing that, like like most
people in my life are probably fine, but also it
is as if the United States is invading a country
like Los Angeles is a very big Yeah, so I
hope every much in the long.

Speaker 2 (01:18):
Run, Dad, do we need like insurgent tactics, like we
need to start taping up the street signs so they
don't know what streets they're on anymore.

Speaker 3 (01:24):
And they're like relying, you know.

Speaker 2 (01:26):
What I mean, like real simple stuff, just easy things.
Or they're like because these people are out of towners,
you know what I mean, they don't know what the
fuck where things are. I mean some might be, but
you know, little things. I don't know. As the tactics
change from the federal government, perhaps the tactics are going
to start changing from this side too. But just renumbering
all the interstates, like it's one off would be great

(01:46):
that I'm on the eleven and ten. You know, I'm
on the one to one right now. Oh yeah, yeah yeah,
take that to Cranker Buying Avenue and you'll be right there. Alex.

Speaker 1 (02:01):
We're thrilled to have you here. How's it going where
you are? You're you're on the other side of the country,
if I if I remember correctly.

Speaker 3 (02:08):
It's yes, I'm in Beacon, New York, which is in
the Hudson River Valley. It's above New York City. But
like I had a very strange Sunday because I was
like googling the invasion of Los Angeles by the United
States Military while I was at our town's strawberry festival
and sweet really good.

Speaker 2 (02:27):
We contain multitudes this nation. It's the greatest country on Earth.
On one side, you could have a military invasion more
New Yorkers thinking they're better than us.

Speaker 4 (02:37):
Yeah, well we had a whimsical strawberry festival because and
the other thing I heard is that like almost all
of the rest of LA was also like usual weekend
farmers market and stuff.

Speaker 3 (02:49):
It's just so massive. People need to know that. Like
it's approaching the size of New York City metropolitan area
or bigger and then like flattened out and spread out
and like down town. It's not really the middle. It's
just so big.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
Yeah, Los Angeles County is the biggest city in the world,
I think, like just size wise.

Speaker 3 (03:08):
Yeah, it's massive.

Speaker 2 (03:10):
It's yeah. And for every when are you safe, we are.
It's not that there's like what you see on the
streets where people are like in the streets. That doesn't
mean protesters are just trying to hurt anyone or anything
like that. They're not even trying to hurt the police.
The police are hurting protesters. We're okay, you know, we're
trying to just live our lives here. It just looks

(03:31):
fucking wild because now we have like cops trampling people
with their horses and shit, it's just funny to see that.
A lot of the habits from the summer of twenty
twenty are like creeping back in with people not knowing
how to like articulate what's happening or where the like
what side is actually instigating violent clashes.

Speaker 3 (03:48):
But yeah, we're we're fine, we're fine, we're fine.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
We just need to the horses purely for the photographic
like impact, right, Yeah, that's in no way is that
necessary or important. But they just I think they were like,
this would be this will look cool if we're firing
these tear gas canisters at private citizens from horseback.

Speaker 2 (04:10):
Yeah, journalist like a cowboy. It's it's all. It's all
wacky anyway.

Speaker 3 (04:15):
Yeah, and those horses should be like in Griffith Park
taking people on charming rides, you know, yeah, not police
violence that.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
Yeah. The horses didn't what horses in La air for.
That's animal abuse.

Speaker 3 (04:25):
They didn't want to be conscripted into this bullshit.

Speaker 1 (04:28):
Yeah, they're just being pulled around by lapd helicopters just
like dropped air dropped from one place to the other
through LAPD's like main main mode of transport. Yeah, I
feel like the way that most of La experienced the
unrest was lighter than usual helicopter traffic from the LAPD

(04:49):
because they were otherwise occupied.

Speaker 2 (04:52):
What is something from your search history?

Speaker 5 (04:56):
So I'm reading a book right now, uh, and historical
fiction novel which is fantastic came out in twenty fifteen
called The Nightingale. It's about the role that women played
in World War two for no particular reason, no particular
reason that I'm reading about that.

Speaker 6 (05:14):
And then I just.

Speaker 5 (05:14):
Decided to google what role did witches play in World
War Two? And I learned a lot. So yeah, they
did in fact play a role. The man who sort
of invented or started the religious sect of witchcraft called
Wicca or Wickan, he did a whole fucking like dance

(05:38):
in the woods that was documented, which did in fact
line up to several of Hitler's missteps, and their specific
spell was to fog his decision making. And then I'm
sure that there were other like solitary witches doing their
own quot shit in the woods too, So that's what
I googled today.

Speaker 2 (05:56):
If they started off, they're like, we need this man
to be on mes yes, put it on God please. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (06:02):
I feel like we need to start doing some dances
to FuG elon Musk's decision making right now, Kenney, Yeah.

Speaker 5 (06:13):
Yeah, yeah, so you know if we have ideas. I
literally wrote a spell and have been posting it all
my stories every single day for people to chant over
and over and over if they want to for this
exact reason.

Speaker 2 (06:26):
Is it like disrespectful if I chant the spell? Like
even if I'm like, yeah, I mean maybe we could
get Elon to do more Ketmine.

Speaker 3 (06:32):
Not at all.

Speaker 2 (06:33):
Okay, so all energy is welcome to repect for the
recitation of the spell.

Speaker 3 (06:37):
Yeah, totally great.

Speaker 2 (06:39):
I love it. I love how inclusive this is not
like it's not like Christianity, you know, like all these rules.

Speaker 1 (06:46):
Intention before you No, I'm just asking out like it
for Christianity the Sacramento before you even think about eating our.

Speaker 2 (06:55):
Crack close as I've been visiting Sacramento when I was four.

Speaker 1 (07:00):
Yeah, I thought you were going to talk about the
night Witches.

Speaker 3 (07:04):
Do you know the story?

Speaker 6 (07:05):
I wish to know the story of the night witches.

Speaker 1 (07:08):
I don't they not actual witches, but there were. They
weren't real witches, but they were a group of Soviet
soldiers women who would go fly these like old outdated biplanes,
like the two winged things that are like half glider
half plane, and they would cut the engine and just

(07:29):
glide over German soldiers and then drop.

Speaker 2 (07:32):
Bombs on them.

Speaker 1 (07:33):
So like you, they would be completely silent, but the
sound of the like wood creaking, sounded like broomsticks. And
so the Germans called them the night witches. And also
they would be laughing their ass off as they dropped them.

Speaker 5 (07:46):
That is just so beautifully dope, like witches and women
are just so dope.

Speaker 2 (07:52):
I love it.

Speaker 3 (07:53):
Shut up to the night out to the Soviet Union
for actually defeating the Nazis.

Speaker 1 (07:56):
Yeah, Kim, how about you anything from your search history?

Speaker 7 (08:00):
Uh?

Speaker 8 (08:00):
Well, you know, I'm actually six months pregnant right now, so.

Speaker 2 (08:05):
Thank you so much.

Speaker 8 (08:06):
So it's just baby, baby, baby, How do babies work?
How do I keep a baby alive?

Speaker 3 (08:12):
Just feeling?

Speaker 8 (08:12):
Okay, am I gonna die?

Speaker 9 (08:13):
What's happening?

Speaker 3 (08:13):
Oh my god?

Speaker 2 (08:14):
Why do I have heartburn from everything? Do you have
a lot of heartburn? I don't.

Speaker 3 (08:20):
Okay, it happens and doesn't happen. Yeah, okay, You're.

Speaker 1 (08:25):
Going to have a beautiful hairless baby. That's the Isn't
that the hair is hair somehow? Yeah, hair is Like
that sounds like a silly, unproven thing, but then the
facts are like once the baby's out and like if
the baby's breastfeeding.

Speaker 2 (08:45):
We were talking about this reasently, the like.

Speaker 1 (08:47):
Just eating spicy food will somehow like go through your
digestive tract into the breast milk like give the baby.
It's that that also sounds completely made up to me.

Speaker 2 (08:59):
You of like, yeah, yeah right, I.

Speaker 5 (09:03):
Mean babies are literally getting like all of the mom's
nutrients from from the breast milk. So so Kim can't
eat spicy So yeah, it's nothing to worry about for me.

Speaker 3 (09:15):
You just you just don't like you just don't like
spicy foods to begin with.

Speaker 8 (09:18):
I'm just a very sensitive Yeah, I'm just a white girl.

Speaker 5 (09:26):
It's actually very sad because she asks to try like
all of my flavorful food, Like for the last twenty
five years she's been like can I try that.

Speaker 6 (09:33):
I'm like, it's going to be too.

Speaker 2 (09:35):
Like a parent, You're like spicy, spicy, Yeah, yeah, spicy.

Speaker 5 (09:41):
And she's like, no, I want to try, and I'm
like okay, and then she's like.

Speaker 6 (09:44):
No, no, yeah yeah.

Speaker 8 (09:45):
My boyfriend's Nigerian. So it's it's a tough battle, you know, right, you.

Speaker 1 (09:49):
Do the airplane coming in for landing when she asked
to do a spicy coming and I'm getting your mind,
I actually do the night she trouble, right, Matt, what's
something these thinks underrated?

Speaker 7 (10:09):
Well, I mean underrated, I wrote Brian Wilson because I'm
very I'm very much into the whole like Brian Wilson thing,
but underrated I would say, oh, is there a way
I can say this without getting in trouble.

Speaker 2 (10:24):
Underrated?

Speaker 7 (10:25):
I would say the people's ability to gather together en
mass to protest despite the wishes of their elders who
tell them that the best thing to do is to
write a strongly worded letter. And I'm not saying look, look,
I'm not saying violence is a good thing. But at

(10:49):
the same time, I think it is also very underrated.
I think that part of protesting is working outside the
boundaries of what ever the status quo is, and it
is a crime to do like just to walk, you know,
on the street and stuff like that. I mean, this
is already, it's already breaking laws. I just am like

(11:11):
so tired of the amount of hand finger wagging at like, uh,
you know, anyone who protests anything because they're like, oh,
you know, someone burned a waymo.

Speaker 2 (11:23):
You know what, fuck Weimo's a driver lest car. It's
a deadbeat. It's a goddamn dead beat. You want to
know who's taking a fucking job that fucking car, right exactly. Yeah,
people you're blaming for and with these.

Speaker 7 (11:40):
And you know, it's just like the way in which,
like the entire media class and political class, including politicians
who I like or immediately fall into the like very
obvious right wing trap of like I condemn violence a protest.

Speaker 2 (11:57):
I'm just like, you know what, I don't, Yeah, I.

Speaker 1 (12:00):
Especially when it's like there's no condemnation for the violence
being done to the protesters or the violence that the
protesters are responding to the rush to condemn the violence
by the protesters and not specifically call out the actions. Yes,
we know, the one, the burning of the weim is
like now iconic and like that's the one kind of

(12:25):
precise piece of violence they have, and so that's become
the central thing. There's been fucking people getting trampled by
cops on horses being shot point blank by like one
of them was like straight up a journalist on camera,
and so that one became like a little bit viral.
But like for the most part, it's just the burning

(12:45):
of a weimo, which, yeah, to your point, like, if
you wanted to create a work of satire about our
fucking terrible values, that's like, well, yeah, they care more
about property and like the tech industry and money than
they do about human lives. Like the fact that everyone's
freaking out about the burning of a driverless car.

Speaker 2 (13:06):
I get more victimless crime goes to weimo.

Speaker 7 (13:13):
That's so insane to even call it violence is crazy.

Speaker 2 (13:17):
Yeah, I mean I think that's the biggest thing is
the media especially and I think just generally and like
in the discourse around all this is there's such an
issue with even defining what violence is, what falls under
the category of violence, because it's like, well, you know,
like normal, it's like so that person through an old
man to the ground, You'd be like, that's violent. A
partie shoves an old man to the ground, it's like, yeah, nothing,

(13:42):
the store that is so violent, people denying people the
financial opportunities to feed themselves while enriching yourself.

Speaker 7 (13:51):
It is crazy, the like inversion of reality that's done
in order to make these narratives, like the idea that
it's like one person is a protester doing let's say,
property damage, and the other person is doing violence against
that person in order to protect the property, and his

(14:12):
property damage is considered to be the act of violence.
And to me, I'm just like, I'm just I'm so
sick of anyone falling for these narratives.

Speaker 2 (14:22):
Ye just because it's like even if even if even if.

Speaker 7 (14:30):
These were acts that were you know, they're all being
like obviously overblown in the media, but even if there
was an actual riot that happened. Once again, the onus
of keeping the peace is supposed supposedly law enforcement. But
if law enforcement is the one starting the violence, I'm

(14:51):
sorry they're the ones picking a fight.

Speaker 1 (14:54):
That is the big unspoken reality that is at the
center of all those stories, the thing that they will
not say like that, yeah, I was reading a la times,
I think, or no, maybe I was watching about I
forget one of those fucking papers that was like doing
an account of like you know, the violence and like
the kea, the roiling crowds and like that. They talked

(15:14):
about like people breaking glass as part of the protest,
and then like as a throwaway they had like and
then there was like a storefront window that was shattered
with a like bean bag thing next to it, and
they're like, oh, yeah, it was probably like shot at protesters. Yes, so,
but like even that like one to one thing, the
police doing the very thing, the property damage.

Speaker 2 (15:36):
Yeah, that like.

Speaker 1 (15:37):
They're so mad about when the protesters do it. The
police doing that while shooting at people is like more
forgivable and just like brushed past as like a little
piece of fucking context.

Speaker 2 (15:49):
Yes, yes, exactly.

Speaker 1 (15:51):
Yeah, yeah, Michael Swayne, what is something you think is overrated?

Speaker 9 (15:56):
I mean, I'll keep his shirt and sleep, but I
feel like I have to point at the big board
again and just say money. It's just like for the
rest of my life whenever I show up on anything
where I'm asked this sort of question and it's uh,
I again, I don't or it's important. I don't mean value.
Separate those concepts money, like a billionaire, the billionaire classes

(16:21):
we all know is destroying us. But it's also for
no reason. They're super unhappy, so it would be healthier
for them to understand some kind or you can get
warm buff. It seems kind of weirdly all right, in
terms of I can't argue whether it's I don't know
that it's ethical to a massive billion dollars period, But
I just mean he seems to sleep at night or

(16:43):
have some coherent identity. But many other billionaires Elon included,
you know, seem like totally eating alive and miserable anyway.
And it doesn't buy me sympathy because they're killing hundreds
of thousands of innocent people to figure their shit out.
But I wish it for either shit out, because maybe
that would help. And regardless, I also mean it in

(17:05):
the grand sense, where I track so much back to
money used to be a record of goods and services
exchanged or potential values stored inside you. And then they're like,
what if gambling was legal in the form of the
stock market, and I could go to school and eat
every day and learn and use all the resources of humanity.

(17:25):
But my job, the whole thing I spend time on
Earth doing is looking at legal documents and moving money
from one place to another and seeing if it's possible
to abstractly make money make money? Is that clever?

Speaker 2 (17:40):
And well that thing, it's clever.

Speaker 9 (17:43):
Now later we all choke to death on our own farts.

Speaker 2 (17:47):
That's that. So good job society.

Speaker 9 (17:50):
Money was a short term like symbol we were supposed
to use for barter exchange. Look, if AI can do
all the art and everything, then maybe we're in star
trek time.

Speaker 2 (18:00):
Need money? How about that?

Speaker 9 (18:01):
And then the billionaires are like, no, we still need money.
That's my value identifier, and so I just hate.

Speaker 3 (18:07):
It, so they'll never let that happen.

Speaker 1 (18:09):
Yeah, that is what all like a lot of really
smart people I knew in school, they went into making money,
make money, that's it, just fucking growing money by putting
it in various places. And I remember at the time
being like, they should be building fucking infrastructure, Like those

(18:31):
people are smart, they should be putting like making the
world better doing building things. And I remember feeling childish
for thinking that at the time. But I've never really
been disabused of that notion. I do think that that
is a fucking huge problem with it is just like
all the smart people, they're just like, yeah, I'm going

(18:51):
to go in to make the money, make the money
to more money.

Speaker 9 (18:55):
I gotta say, it's truly not just like a sour
grapes poor person to say. But I've I know enough
struggling people, middle class people, and people who got rich
through skill and or luck that I have observed and
really find it true. Some are happy and some are unhappy.
Almost has no connection whether like how much money you amassed.

(19:19):
It is just a kind of addiction over Like as
Warren Buffett I think said, he was like anyone who
makes which is still unthinkable to me, seven hundred grand
a year or more essentially has an identical life to me.
They can access anything they want at any time. Everything
else is just like frosting on the cake, or more
purchase power or political.

Speaker 2 (19:37):
Buying power or why have you?

Speaker 9 (19:39):
So you know, I'll just be happy with my seven
hundred k year and that's me.

Speaker 2 (19:44):
I'm home over you be up, Buffett.

Speaker 3 (19:48):
Just put it in all of our bank account.

Speaker 2 (19:51):
We'll be good over here. I think he does it.
He does. I think he buys himself some cover because
he's not very austen to. He's just like so low key.
He like lives like I've driven buy his house in Omaha,
and I was like, oh, that's where he like. I
was just like, okay, that's.

Speaker 9 (20:06):
He's ignore that I'm absorbing the resources. Yeah, millions of
because there's like and they're.

Speaker 2 (20:12):
Like, it's McDonald's for breakfast every day, and it's like
he has he's a fucking a team.

Speaker 9 (20:18):
That guy.

Speaker 2 (20:18):
Yeah, the little old man who eats mccon's moment. Yeah, exactly.
I was wondering if you, like, do you now you're
that the Simpsons taught you everything? Have you switched out beer.

Speaker 3 (20:28):
As the cause of and solution to all life's problems
with money?

Speaker 2 (20:32):
No miles.

Speaker 9 (20:34):
I think savvy viewers will remember that the solution to
all life's problems is to move under the scene.

Speaker 3 (20:42):
Animals.

Speaker 9 (20:43):
It's not going to happen, not with that attitude that
has reawakened. I always love The Simpsons, but like many
didn't watch it for at least ten years, and now
I'm that guy where I have to stifle incessantly any
stimulus is like that simptoms quote relates to that, Oh.

Speaker 2 (21:04):
Yeah, right right, right to be the Simpsons guy. Don't
be college guy.

Speaker 1 (21:08):
This new franchise not helping with your whatever the brain
condition is that you have. But it's Michael, let's take
a quick break.

Speaker 2 (21:20):
We'll be right back.

Speaker 3 (21:32):
And we're back, and we're back and we're back.

Speaker 1 (21:38):
How's it going, guys, How'll be right back and.

Speaker 2 (21:43):
Actually be right? I think I need another breaks, bill,
more ad space?

Speaker 3 (21:48):
Do the ads are out of control?

Speaker 1 (21:49):
Man? I mean, so, did you see the Wall Street
Journal report on the Stephen Miller Ice meeting?

Speaker 2 (21:57):
No? I did not.

Speaker 1 (21:58):
Which one he the one that led to this whole
movement of like going to home depot.

Speaker 2 (22:06):
When is there? Hold them wherever they are right now?
They're at seven to eleven and home depot.

Speaker 1 (22:11):
Straight up, he was like, you know, gang members and
violent criminals, what Trump called the worst of the worst,
weren't the sole target of deportations. Federal agents needed to
just go out there and arrest illegal aliens, Miller told
ICE officials, who had come from across the US, agents
didn't need to develop target lists of immigrants suspected of

(22:31):
being in the US illegally, a long standing practice, Miller said. Instead,
he directed them to target home depot, where day laborers
typically gather for hire, or seven eleven convenience stores. Miller
bet that he and a handful of agents could go
out on the streets of Washington, DC and arrest thirty
people right away.

Speaker 2 (22:49):
I mean you could.

Speaker 1 (22:51):
They're not going to be guilty of anything, right yeah, yeah,
fitting your white supremacist idea of like people who should
be arrested.

Speaker 2 (23:02):
That's it. He's boy. Yeah, And this one it's like
so unrefined. It's basically like, yeah, bro, there's thirty brown
faces out there right now, up, just fucking bat them up.
Man in the Wall Street Journal Wall the Wall Street
Journal one of the most upstanding outlets. But I mean
he's They're like, yo, what yeah, right, right right.

Speaker 7 (23:24):
It's because it's so basic, Like for the Wall Street Journal,
they're just like, dude, you could literally ask any like
white dude on the street where the illegals hang, and
they'd be like, I don't know, probably like a home depot.

Speaker 2 (23:36):
I see them out there. It's like a hack joke.

Speaker 7 (23:38):
Yeah, yeah, it's like a hack joke at this point.
And this fool is not even a refined racist. He's
just like the most basic bitch racist ever where. It's
just like, I don't know, go to go to the
home depot and it's a seven to eleven.

Speaker 2 (23:54):
It's it's it's like eleven.

Speaker 1 (23:57):
Yeah, that one's wild, Like he's just I think he's
just lumping in anyone.

Speaker 2 (24:02):
He like thinking of, like has an move from the
Simpsons or something. That's the thing that's his idea of
a seven to eleven is like, well, you know, it's
like brown people from wherever working at a seven to eleven.

Speaker 1 (24:13):
Probably the only place he encounters non white people.

Speaker 2 (24:17):
You know, right home depot. I think this more indicates
how little he actually interacts in public, because the only
two places he can think of are these abstractions that
he would never go to, like a home depot. He's like, yeah,
home depot probably. I mean, I'm not what the fuck
am I gonna do at home depot? I never go
in a seven eleven. We go to we go to sprouts,

(24:37):
right exactly. It's like, I think it's grotesque to have
a whole big gulp.

Speaker 7 (24:44):
I'm someone who likes to take small, tiny bird like
zips exactly.

Speaker 2 (24:49):
Miller Miller lights, I call it. Yeah, h Miller lights,
like all them. Yeah, the whole like just the discourse
around everything. It's so again, like I felt like right
back in twenty twenty where we're doing the same things
over again, Jack, Like you're saying like, oh, it's on
the protesters to protest grandu no talk of the police. Also,

(25:09):
people have no idea how oppression works, clearly when people
live in like the areas that are very white and
probably affluent enough that they actually know nothing of oppression
or struggling. Anyway, because I'm going on like Fox News, yes,
I know, not good for my health, especially the comments section,
because I'm really because all they post articles are like.

Speaker 10 (25:32):
Illegal immigrant charged with attempted murder for throwing Molotov cocktail.

Speaker 11 (25:38):
And there's like a photo of a guy flicking a
lighter like behind a tree trunk and apparently like he
had a I guess he had a Molotov cocktail that
like landed somewhere, didn't really bust open.

Speaker 2 (25:49):
It was like really not. I was just like like
me trying to throw a Molotov cocktail. It was more
like he dropped it. It was just like and you're like,
what is like, what's going on on? Fire? Get scared,
drop it and run.

Speaker 1 (26:00):
That's what I would do if I was.

Speaker 2 (26:04):
You're trying to blow out the fucking left. No, no, no, no, no.
So anyway, I'm looking in the comment section there because
obviously Fox News putting the most sensational shit they can
put there, because the headline had all the buzzwords illegal, alien, attempted, murder,
Los Angeles riots, police, and the com Again, aside from
the obvious bots that are in there, just like fanning

(26:25):
the flames with like the same sort of take over
and over again, there's also this like ignorance you see
from what I'm again presuming are people who are very
comfortable and know nothing of oppression. This one person says,
all caps, why isn't anyone asking who is paying for
all of this? Obviously obviously these protesters don't work and

(26:46):
are not using their own money. Find who is paying
for this and stop them. No money equals no riots.
I love this logic. This logic is first of all,
it's telling on yourself because there's just like listen, when
I was at January sixth, someone paid me to be there,
all right, First of all, that's why I was there.

Speaker 1 (27:09):
That's how their economy literally works. Like Ben Shapiro has
a platform because billionaires have been funding his career, Like
Charlie Kirk would not exist as a media figure if
billionaires hadn't taken an interest in him a long time
ago and been like he's good for our overall like
future gross tax rate, like that's that's why that motherfucker exists. Yeah,

(27:34):
so they know that on some level, and it's yeah,
seeping into how they view people just responding to being
beaten to shit.

Speaker 7 (27:45):
Right, yeah, but it's just so funny, like to look
at a group of protesters and just to be immediately
the assumption be well, I mean certainly they're paid to
be there, because I mean, who's paying for those signs?
And it's like it's cardboard, right, how much do you
think cardboard card It's.

Speaker 2 (28:06):
So abstract to them that they don't understand having your
back to al wall, right then having to enter physical
space to advocate for yourself or others that they're like,
well for me to do that, I'd have to be paid, right, yes, yeah,
that's the only way, because I what do you mean,
like you're just getting out there to help people.

Speaker 3 (28:24):
That look like no, no, no, no, no no no no.

Speaker 2 (28:26):
That's not how it works. And yeah, again it reveals
no real intellectual understanding of oppression, and to also no
idea how precarious, our fucking economy is, and that many
people struggle to find meaningful life sustaining work in this country.
So again you see a lot of you see a
lot of social media posts with like Americans going on

(28:47):
with their lives. You're like, oh, I went to this
wonderful thing or whatever. Obviously, go live your life, but
please be acutely aware how bad this situation we are
in right now and how it's only going to worsen.
And I don't know if it seems like, especially conservatives
have no idea how this sequence is going to play
out in its worst form. Right today, it's migrants and

(29:08):
the people that defend them. Tomorrow it's people that are
opposing the regime. Then once things start getting really weird
and all of their fucking initiatives start coming to pass,
like taking away social safety nets to taking away people
who are actively contributing to the economy, and the economy
starts getting fucked over. Everyone begins to feel that pain,
except for the hyper wealthy. And then go a step further.

(29:29):
What happens when you your rural hospital can no longer
treat your child's illness, or there's no food, or there's
there's food scarcity because of tariffs or whatever. Do you
think they're at a certain point you might not be like, dude,
I gotta fucking get out here and figure something out
like my own fucking kid. And do you think the
cops are gonna look at you and be like this

(29:51):
guy's white, he's okay, because no, these people, no, there
is no one of us. There is only the wealthy.
If you are not them, that's it. The Miami Cuban
population is finding out in real time. They thought, well,
we're mad, we're the good. They don't give a fuck.
They are not in solidarity with you. They're in solidarity
with these other oligarchs who are like, bro, we need

(30:12):
to hoover up all this money. And when these poor
motherfuckers start complaining and try and act up, we're gonna
beat the shit out of them. I think they keep
it moving. It's that simple.

Speaker 7 (30:20):
Yes, I think if you don't think you're next, you
it's just your short sighted, ignorant and just a fool.

Speaker 2 (30:29):
And and you know, it was like.

Speaker 7 (30:32):
Proven earlier this year when they just started arresting and
attempting to deport and sometimes successfully deporting students who were
you know, writing something about that was positive about Palestine, right,
and and you know, it's like, this is not going
to just be all you know, it's just the people
who I want to be.

Speaker 2 (30:53):
Uh, you know, oppressed.

Speaker 7 (30:54):
No, it's going to be whoever the fuck the powers
that be decide is going to be a and it's
not gonna serve you in any way. And beyond that,
I think one thing that people need to realize too,
and obviously your listeners realize this, but these people in
the you know Fox comment section is like, these cops

(31:15):
are not your friends. The one thing that is so impressive,
in a really twisted way, is the law enforcement solidarity
that exists. The fact that federal troops could be sent
into a state without you know, the request of the governor,
without the request of the city that they're being sent to,

(31:37):
and the local law enforcement is just immediately like, oh okay,
I guess we're doing this. The fact that they would
immediately be on their side, it just shows you that like,
at the end of the day, they're not gonna stand
there a bunch of laped officers and go we have
to protect this city from these federal agents doing overreach. No,

(31:58):
they're immediately going to turn around and join the fucking
federal troops against you. So no matter what, the cops
will not be on your side, and they never were.
They never were, so you know, I mean, if you
put any trust in in like the cops to do anything,
you're you're completely foolish.

Speaker 2 (32:16):
Yeah, I mean, I think this is why people have
This is why people are resisting the way they are
right now because and also these protests are working. If
you're really thinking about what the point of this is,
Having ICE be occupied by protesters means they are going
to be that much slower to hunt down a parent
taking their kid to the doctor or someone going to
their fucking immigration court hearing so they can abide by

(32:37):
the fucking law. And Marines showing up to what they
think is a war zone and they're standing on top
of buildings in La kind of laughing because they're like, well,
what the fuck is this? People are playing like Moroccas
and acoustic guitaristity. What the fuck am I doing here? Yeah?
Like that helps ICE agents are being pushed out of
hotels because the community comes out to make noise and
make it impossible for them to rest. These like little

(32:59):
victories add up to stifle the morale of these people.
And it's not instant, but this is how it just
needs to be slowed down. This is how you're just
this is how a response is going to work. And
I think that's also a really good reminder of like
why that this big, beautiful bill nonsense also has to
be stopped because Stephen Miller, teenage mutant Ninja Gebels is

(33:20):
asking for fucking billions more in ice funding. So this
is this is how it's at right now with the
current levels of funding, and they're saying, bro, we need
to turn the money hose on so we can kick
this shit up to eleven. That means more salaries to
hire racist nut jobs who want to larks police officers,
to expand attention facilities, and to turn the kidnapping infrastructure

(33:41):
just up another level. So it's all ah, man, it's
just like please, please, please, just this is this is
kind of all white. It all has to come together.
This is why people are resisting and then to question
what's going on or not really examine what the violence
is that's being done to the people of Los Angeles,
people all over the country now at this point, because

(34:03):
there's raids in o Maha, there's raids in San Antonio,
and now Greg Abbitt is like, got, I'm having the
National Guard too. It's it's come, it's everywhere. It's going
to happen. And and again, it seems like everyone's built
in response as humans, as like the decent American people,
is to show out and try and be like, Yo,
what the fuck is going on?

Speaker 7 (34:22):
Yo?

Speaker 2 (34:22):
What is this ship? Not? Fuck out of here? Fuck
out of here?

Speaker 1 (34:25):
I do wonder you know, we've seen how ineffective the
mainstream media is that just you know that they're their
main narrative doesn't like catch on with people just because
they're saying it anymore, right, Like they're not going to
convince people that this is fine just because they're ignoring
the actual cause of the protests and just focusing on

(34:46):
the protest. I do like, to Matt's point, like the
shit that like conservatives have claimed are their values for centuries,
Like obviously, like there some of them are going to
be like, yeah, I mean it was actually white supremacy, guys,
Like you know, that's definitely a big portion of it. Yeah,

(35:06):
But like I I also have to feel like there's
a sizeable portion who's like wait, no, Like they're doing
the thing that we were always like saying we were
worried they do, where they like come in and try
and like take our guns and our rights away and
like sending federal troops in. Like isn't this why we
like raised militias at a time when they were completely

(35:26):
unnecessary for like decades, like in the fucking when I
during the Clinton and Obama administration, Like, aren't some of
these people just going to be like, well, this this
is fucking crazy.

Speaker 2 (35:38):
I fel like I've only seen more of a response
from like maga libertarians, right, Like those are some of
people who are like, well, hold on now, yeah, I'm
an insufferable libertarian because I'm pretty consistent without insufferable.

Speaker 7 (35:51):
It is wild just to see, uh, I mean, it's
not surprising at all, but it's like it's still it
is wild to see that level of aocracy where you're
just like, oh, you guys, it was never you guys
were never like worried about you know, totalitarian as you know,
government regimes. You just were worried about what if they

(36:12):
were woke? Yeah, like what if it was a blue
haired it's just a them who was you know in
control of ice, and it's like, you know, as long
as the Nazis controlled the Gestapo, they're like cool.

Speaker 3 (36:27):
Yeah, as long as they're doing it in the name
of race of.

Speaker 2 (36:29):
Them, yes, exactly, Yeah, the fear of a black planet.
Yeah yeah, straight up. Yeah. Yeah. The Second Amendment is
to fight against tyranny people where you at. But again,
tyranny doesn't Tyranny doesn't exist for them, you know what
I mean. That's like the way they're looking at it.

(36:50):
It's just too abstract. They're just like my white daughter tyranny. Yeah,
oh yeah, tyranny doesn't happen to like people of color
or GBTQ. But that's just no, no, no, that only happens
to me in a very narrow context that when it happens,
I won't even know. Actually, I love it. Don't tread
on me, tread on them, tread on everybody else, I

(37:13):
tread on. I love the snake. The snake pointing to
another snake to step on.

Speaker 3 (37:18):
Yeah, we need.

Speaker 7 (37:19):
To don't tread on me, stump on the bear a snake.

Speaker 1 (37:25):
How what the hell isn't the snake getting its ass
kicked and that flagged it? Like snakes are constantly getting
their ass kicked on flags.

Speaker 7 (37:32):
I gotta say, Yeah, snakes are always in someone's talents
or being stepped on.

Speaker 2 (37:36):
There's never a rule. So hard snake about to be devoured?

Speaker 7 (37:41):
Yeah, there's not enough like snakes or I don't know,
just like chilling, you know, eating an egg.

Speaker 1 (37:47):
The tyranny one. It's like cutting thirds, right, Yeah, the
snake is fuck snakes. Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (37:53):
If I had to pick.

Speaker 1 (37:54):
Up the thesis, the thesis statement of flags, it would
be fus, fuck snake, snack, U asshole your snake. But yeah,
just there's this detailed report from the Wall Street Journal
about just how unjust all these like sweeps are and
like how slap dash and racist the policies are. And
then you like look at their lineup of opinion articles

(38:15):
and it's like Democrats make Stephen Miller's day. The editorial board,
the LA riots hand Republicans a political edge.

Speaker 2 (38:23):
Jason L. Riley.

Speaker 3 (38:25):
Is anyone going to hold rioters accountable?

Speaker 1 (38:28):
James will Man, Yeah, I think they will.

Speaker 2 (38:33):
Yeah, this is what they do. Should we check in
with Elon real quick? Oh God, I've been wondering where
he is.

Speaker 1 (38:40):
I've been worried about that. He's had some long hard
conversations with his reflection in the mirror. Apparently AKA came
down the Keene levels and his bloodstream dipped below levels
where he like believes that he's literally flying. And he

(39:00):
posted that he regrets some of his posts about Trump,
which quote went too far.

Speaker 2 (39:07):
Coach one y specific.

Speaker 3 (39:11):
Presumably they include the one where he mentioned that Trump
is a pedophile whose name checked in the Epstein files.

Speaker 2 (39:17):
But that's that you like to work with. Yeah, yeah,
that I got elected. You elected, bro pedophile.

Speaker 7 (39:25):
By the way, I hope the pedophile get power. So
I'm cool.

Speaker 3 (39:31):
You're welcome.

Speaker 2 (39:32):
Yeah. God.

Speaker 3 (39:33):
And then this comes after an interview with Trump in
which he said that he has no hard feelings about
the whole thing.

Speaker 2 (39:39):
So yeah, I mean, did you also see like in
Rockland County, New York, that election fuckery that there's like
a haste that's moving up the fucking New York Supreme Court.
The New York Supreme Court like ruled that like these
allegations of voting discrepancies in Rockland County, New York were
like substantial enough for like discovery to happen. Oh, and

(40:01):
they were like there're like ones where like all these
people voted for Christian Gillibrand, but then no one voted
for Kamala Harris, like on the ballots and the other one. Huh. Yeah,
Like there's one town where that's like, what the fuck
is this? They're like nobody, but they voted for the
Democrat and the Senate race.

Speaker 1 (40:18):
So statistical, So like, I really wouldn't put it past
the Democrats to have the elections stolen from them while
they're in power. It's so incredible, such incredible Democrat and
yeah they quote.

Speaker 2 (40:34):
According to the complaint, more voters have sworn in legal
affidavits that they voted for independent US Senate candidate Diane
Sayer than the Rockland County Board of Elections counted and certified,
contradicting those results. The complaint also cited numerous statistical anomalies
in the presidential election results. They include multiple districts where
hundreds of voters chose the Democratic candidate Kristian Gillibrand for Senate,
but none voted for former Vice President Kamala Harris. Y'all none, none, No.

Speaker 7 (41:01):
That is yeah, that's just statistical anomaly that leads.

Speaker 2 (41:05):
It's just also funny that I'm also like, I don't
want to like wait, so what is it, Like, did
they fucker inund I mean, Trump kept saying weird shit
that people were taking, like, oh, you got to look
into it. But then you have like a lawsuit like this,
and you're like, hold wait, huh oh m fuck, well,
I mean.

Speaker 7 (41:21):
Like voting, you know, skepticism has never been a bad thing.

Speaker 2 (41:25):
It's never been. The problem is is that Trump did
what he.

Speaker 7 (41:29):
Always does very expertly, which is just co opt a
sort of leftist narrative and make it into his own
personal shield. Like fake news was something started saying after it,
you know, came out that there was a bunch of
fake news on Facebook and shit like that they were
just pumping out fake stories.

Speaker 2 (41:49):
Uh. And then you know the very.

Speaker 1 (41:52):
Like definition of fascism, like is that taking leftist platforms
and ideas and reappropriate them for purposes of power?

Speaker 2 (42:03):
Yes?

Speaker 7 (42:03):
Yes, And and it was like, you know, the obviously
the two thousand election was something that heavily contested. Even
two thousand and four, there was some fuckery with the
you know, the I think Ohio voting booths or whatever.
The fuck, Like the fact that there is election fraud
that can exist is not something that you know, it's

(42:26):
it was. It was the fact that Trump poison pilled
it for everyone who was a liberal, because all of
a sudden, they found liberals going like, no, our elections
are safe and secure, and it's just like, okay, all right,
come down. Just you know, I understand like Trump is
lying about stuff. He just makes it up and hopes
it becomes true. But like, also, yeah, no, you know this,

(42:48):
this sounds like fuckery to me.

Speaker 2 (42:49):
I wonder if they're getting there. They got to they
gotta stick together because now this lawsuits moving around. Yeah,
and they got to make shit right. I mean obviously. Also,
so much of his wealth depends on government contracts, so
he can't really.

Speaker 1 (43:00):
Just I feel like that's guess it's the He just
wants to keep getting rich the way he's been getting.

Speaker 2 (43:07):
Also just said that he's open to, you know, mending things.
He said.

Speaker 1 (43:11):
I just I think he was mistaken. You know, people
make me start feelings. Guy's got I also need him
a lot. We kind of need each other in this
fucked up way.

Speaker 2 (43:21):
Oh god, it's awful.

Speaker 7 (43:23):
I just, you know, low key, I think we're all
hoping for some sort of thunderdome situation.

Speaker 3 (43:28):
But no, it doesn't look like it. That that is
how Elon Musk's dad is. His dad's name.

Speaker 2 (43:33):
Errol Morris, Eryl Musk, right, yeah, Eryl Morris, the Eryl
Morris is the filmmaker.

Speaker 1 (43:40):
But our writer jam wrote Eryl Morris and his dad's
Eryl Morris, the great documentary.

Speaker 2 (43:48):
Filmmaker Errol Flynn. But Eryl Musk said, this is just
alpha stuff.

Speaker 1 (43:55):
His dad, his son having a tempered tantrum online was
just alpha stuff, like gorillas fighting for dominance, like I
won for you.

Speaker 2 (44:08):
I didn't need him. Your a pedophile, which, by the way,
his favorite, his favorite exactly, And I mean anyone who's
seen a gorillas in the mist knows that's exactly what
gorillas do. They they stopped and.

Speaker 1 (44:18):
Thinking you're a pedophile mother behind a keyboard and call
each other pedophiles until one of them apologizes.

Speaker 2 (44:26):
Yeah, Jesus Christ. There's also this headline too, because you know,
during that tweet storm, he was talking about how Trump
needs to be like Topote, like just he needs to
resign and like I'm backing jd Vance. People are saying
that's also made Trump really paranoid because he only he
only brought jd Vance on the ticket because of the
must pressure and so he's.

Speaker 1 (44:47):
Just like now he's kind of like some Rick carlisle
asque head games.

Speaker 2 (44:52):
It's Tony soprano when everyone's laughing at his jokes. Scene. No, tough,
it was a tough stretch of the game. We didn't
they didn't.

Speaker 3 (45:00):
They had their best defenders in there because was on
the bench.

Speaker 2 (45:04):
Yeah, you know, that's the NBA deep cut.

Speaker 1 (45:08):
NBA refer those head games where you just slide something
in and the persons like worry about JD.

Speaker 2 (45:15):
I mean, I'm sure like that.

Speaker 1 (45:17):
Once that was said, I was like JD Vance is
pleading with Elon Musk behind the scenes to apologize and
take his fucking tweets.

Speaker 2 (45:26):
Down because.

Speaker 1 (45:29):
Catching up to it man, No, yeah, he's yeah, we're
surprised these opportunistic motherfuckers. Bro.

Speaker 2 (45:36):
Yeah, it doesn't mean they'll do it well, but they
will fucking they'll show their ass for sure.

Speaker 7 (45:41):
The luckily I think Trump one of the geniuses of
Trump unfortunately is his ability to like surround himself with
like the most risless motherfuckers in like you could imagine,
and how not attached to him. They are just so

(46:01):
weak and you know, pudgy, like yes, you know, like
I think Elon is only strong because of the money,
but personality wise, riz wise, he has nothing.

Speaker 3 (46:16):
He's just a negative sixty nine.

Speaker 2 (46:18):
Yes, he is unlikable, uh, you know, to the max.
So that's uh. I'm not worried about about the negative
sixty nine.

Speaker 1 (46:26):
Would that be like you try to suck yourndigure nine.

Speaker 2 (46:30):
I was just off of all the levels. He's just
down to a negative sixty nine. Oh, that's just where
the meter landed. Dude, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (46:37):
Oh damn, so you had nothing to It was out
of your hands at that point. No, you know, maybe
it'll be like four to twenty a share.

Speaker 2 (46:43):
Yeah, we don't.

Speaker 1 (46:44):
Uh, we don't want to impugne the good name of
sixty nine.

Speaker 2 (46:48):
Y that's the right anything to do with. No, no, yeah.

Speaker 7 (46:51):
Negative sixty nine is when you guys are you're doing
a sixty nine, but everyone just goes peep.

Speaker 2 (46:56):
Oh yes, and you're like, no, not pep, No, that's
not what we're supposed to know. I don't like this
how much longer sixty nine.

Speaker 7 (47:07):
It's like, you know, it's sort of a human centipeter,
human centipede.

Speaker 1 (47:12):
Closed loop negative or the negative sixteenative. I mean, I
think we have our screenplay idea, you guys. I mean,
they made a whole feature film out the Human Centipe
negative sixty nine pretty much do anything. Let's take a
quick break while we work on the script, and we'll
be right back. And we're back, and we like to

(47:41):
check in with the Tanners every once in a while,
you know, see what they're.

Speaker 2 (47:44):
Up to, Like people who like cure leather.

Speaker 1 (47:46):
Yeah, yeah, the DJ Tanners, the DJs who cure leather.
The only like the Tanner that I wish was not
still famous is unfortunately the one one and twins kind
of just dropped off right like they're not doing it.

Speaker 6 (48:03):
They just took their money and ran. They were like,
goodbye the billionaire for our little sister.

Speaker 5 (48:09):
They're my favorite kind of billionaires because they're just like
we're disappearing, like we're out of here.

Speaker 3 (48:15):
I feel like they are on the strangest yacht parties,
like you know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (48:21):
One of probably Sarcozzi's brother.

Speaker 6 (48:24):
Yeah, and their yachts shaped like a cigarette.

Speaker 2 (48:27):
Yeah yeah, one of them is Sarcosi's brother, one of
the twins she's dating.

Speaker 1 (48:35):
Like that's the energy that I get, is like they're
involved with the sort of the sort of guys who
are like in that room that Liam Neeson infiltrates and
taken like all the rich people who are just sitting
back what like bidding on they're doing.

Speaker 2 (48:51):
They're doing like rare earth mineral deals, right like we
used to do. We had our line of like.

Speaker 10 (48:58):
Clos Moved victors that they're they're like the actual they're
watching the real squid games dark basement.

Speaker 1 (49:13):
We're not.

Speaker 2 (49:14):
We're not.

Speaker 3 (49:15):
We're prob We're good.

Speaker 1 (49:18):
Like the story about one of them being the first
person that was called when they found Hugh Jackman unresponsive
allegedly is.

Speaker 2 (49:30):
Keith Ledger.

Speaker 1 (49:34):
Yes, I've always confused, like us.

Speaker 2 (49:39):
The story from pulp fiction some ship.

Speaker 1 (49:41):
I think, Yeah, it's it's like that is the timeline
would suggest that she's the wolf, but I'm assuming that
she has a wolf that like works for her and
she was more the Marcellus Wallace and it's like what happened?

Speaker 3 (49:55):
Okay, let me call Leon Panetta at the C I
a really quick right.

Speaker 2 (49:59):
Yeah. Anyway, on the other side, like and less cool.

Speaker 1 (50:03):
Than that, Okay, is Candace Cameron burr Bretty? Is that
b u r e h. It's it's more of a
burr vibe. But I guess we're pronouncing it burret.

Speaker 5 (50:17):
Honestly, I bet it is burr, and she was like,
it's beret, like she I bet she added the a onto.

Speaker 2 (50:23):
Yeah, she's married to that the hockey player Valerie issue.

Speaker 3 (50:29):
Well yeah, so she.

Speaker 1 (50:31):
Uh has a podcast. I'm sure that it's like in
Q for most of our listeners right behind this one,
and they go back and forth between the Candace cam
Cameron Beret Show. I believe the Camera, the Candace Cameron
Beret Podcast. Okay, good, well done, Candae, and uh in

(50:52):
this one that is just like one and two. I
always see it in the year year wrapped rankings right
below when people send us they're like TDS, he was
my number one, the Candice Camera and the Beret Podcast
number two. It's an odd but on this podcast, she
was talking about how she doesn't watch.

Speaker 3 (51:09):
Scary movies because your TV, when you think about it,
is just a portal.

Speaker 6 (51:16):
I'm so tired, so tired.

Speaker 1 (51:21):
Look, I understand how movies work, but there's quote still
something that can be incredibly demonic while they've made it person.
This is when I think her co host came in
and said absolutely, just hear them.

Speaker 2 (51:36):
Yeah, yeah, let's say it's really.

Speaker 1 (51:39):
The clip that we have I think is even cutting
out the liquid depth part, which.

Speaker 2 (51:44):
Oh we'll get to the h we can get to
the link the other side of this.

Speaker 12 (51:48):
I don't even want someone watching this scary movie in
our house on the TV, because to me, that's just
a portal.

Speaker 8 (51:55):
Listen, I'm in the film industry.

Speaker 12 (51:56):
I understand how it all works.

Speaker 2 (51:58):
Hold on, I didn't even realize that times she was
gonna physic. Look listen, I'm in the industry.

Speaker 13 (52:05):
Portal works, Okay, looked at the physics.

Speaker 1 (52:10):
I've looked at the metaphysics, and look, this is this
is how worst.

Speaker 3 (52:14):
For Bastard City across from her, just like uh huh.

Speaker 2 (52:18):
But again, it sucks to being a co host because
you gotta agree with your host all the time.

Speaker 12 (52:22):
And don't I know it, there's still something that can
be incredibly demonic made it, Oh for sure.

Speaker 2 (52:30):
That's the one that got the guy looks away and goes,
oh for sure.

Speaker 12 (52:39):
Pnic while she made it for sure, Oh.

Speaker 2 (52:42):
For sure, of course, and speak on that queen, yeah
please please yes, go off.

Speaker 12 (52:49):
Go off, And I feel like it's a portal that
gets opened up and let in, and that just reminded me, Like,
you posted something a while back about Liquid Death.

Speaker 2 (53:01):
What yeah, uh huh, I sure did. I like how
she just says, I think it's I feel like it's
a portal. No, like not therefore total evidence usually like
a crackpot like this will be like, so my friend's daughter,
you know what. I usually these like terrible misinformation conspiracy

(53:22):
podcast work like some bad anecdote. She's just like, and
I get it. Also liquid death and you're like, oh, okay,
so everyone really, yeah.

Speaker 1 (53:31):
You need to get your best friend's daughter possessed by
one of the final destination movies. Candice Cameron, you're fucking
up right now.

Speaker 2 (53:41):
I guess we'll just let her do what else? What? What?
What about? I don't want to hear what she has
to say. Death here, let's pull that back one more time.

Speaker 12 (53:48):
Minded me, Like you posted something a while back about
Liquid Death, and you're like, so do you want to
buy a product that is literally being literally going out
into distribution, that.

Speaker 2 (54:05):
Is literally to the placeholder of her just.

Speaker 6 (54:09):
Being like does anyone does anyone know how to.

Speaker 3 (54:13):
Get out of here?

Speaker 2 (54:14):
Like just like off Earth right now? Yeah, have you
seen that meme where like the old man's in the
wheelchair and he's like, I hate this escape room and
the Dinners is like, so this is planet.

Speaker 1 (54:25):
Earth liquid literally being cursed as it's going out in
the distribution. What that means? That would be so cool
if they were doing that. Are they doing that? Are
they literally cursing the liquid death water? Are they just
saying like.

Speaker 5 (54:39):
The death I think it's because it like has a
skull on it. And I'm like, girl, do you know
that you have a skull like inside you, like you
have a skeleton in there just bouncing around there.

Speaker 2 (54:52):
They I think they were really I think they were
doing it for marketing. And this is the thing that
happens when Evangelis was a freaks see it, they go
the uh. In Liquidth's latest video, the company hired a
working witch doctor known as Mystic Dylan to put a.

Speaker 1 (55:15):
Are so bored that they are using that to be
scared of They're standing up that night because of Mystic
Dylan putting a curse on bottled.

Speaker 2 (55:25):
Line all of the water in the company's warehouse. And
again that's just part of their troll marketing. They're like
the Church of Satan, you know, what I mean, they
just they're like, watch this ship, watch watches get some
fucking clicks by saying this ship, guess.

Speaker 6 (55:37):
What I'm picking up at Costco in bulk now curse.

Speaker 3 (55:42):
I love that.

Speaker 2 (55:43):
Yeah, wow, good for her.

Speaker 3 (55:45):
I mean, I'm glad that.

Speaker 2 (55:46):
It's also funny that dude had such like janky youth
pastor vibes too, when he's like any like evangelical dude
rocking Jordan's I'm always like, bro, when is the scandal
about to drop with you? Full like, I'm not I'm
not for this ship just because you got this really
stylish haircuts from five years ago. Yeah, exactly, exactly right, exactly.

Speaker 1 (56:07):
Yeah, I literally like, I don't know, it's opening the hell?
Like what can we can we get our as horror
movie fans? Can we get a horror movie recommendation? Like
what's the movie that has most felt to you? Like
it's opening our portal to hell that maybe we could recommend.

Speaker 5 (56:27):
This hold on give us Okay, I'll tell you, well,
so i'll tell you when Kim's gonna agree with me.
And it's actually one that uh was kind of the
inspiration for us starting.

Speaker 6 (56:39):
A podcast while being honest.

Speaker 5 (56:41):
Yeah, so Kim and I have been friends for many, many,
many years. We wanted to start a podcast, but we
knew that we wanted to have something to talk about
because we knew we could talk to each other for
ad nauseum for twenty four plus hours at a time,
just about our own lives and musings and things. We

(57:02):
were two of the only sort of group of our
friends that really liked going to see horror movies together.

Speaker 6 (57:08):
When we went to see.

Speaker 5 (57:12):
Horresditary, Oh, I'm going to see the other one. Oh, well,
you should talk about that one. So yes, I guess.

Speaker 6 (57:20):
And Okay, so Kim, Kim's right there there are two.

Speaker 5 (57:24):
So Hereditary, I feel like was the movie where I
was like, there there is a supernatural evil.

Speaker 6 (57:37):
Entity in the world.

Speaker 5 (57:40):
And somebody made a movie about it, and I'm here
for it, and it really it really did. I think
it's kind of hard to like scare. Kim and I
we like the scare, so it's hard to give us
like nightmares. And I feel like we did sort of
have to talk about the movie a lot just to
process it.

Speaker 1 (58:00):
I am now realizing I haven't seen Hereditary because I
actually agree with Candace Cameron that there is in this world,
watching that will open.

Speaker 2 (58:12):
The stills of Tony Collette's face screaming opened a portal
the hell. When I looked at I was like, bro,
I can't.

Speaker 3 (58:19):
Know, damn, we actually agree with her, but I'm just.

Speaker 5 (58:22):
What Kim's talking about? The one I always forget what
the full title of it is.

Speaker 8 (58:27):
Oh, I thought you're going to say, thanks killing the
Exorcism of Emily.

Speaker 2 (58:32):
Rose Emily Rose by the Coward Robert Ford James.

Speaker 3 (58:38):
Yeah, wait, why that one, Kim?

Speaker 2 (58:42):
Because it is such because it's dealing directly with demons
entering your body.

Speaker 8 (58:47):
It's the chick from Dexter, Dexter's sister.

Speaker 14 (58:50):
Oh yeah, yeah, but she did all of her own
I don't know if you call them stunts, but like
moving contortion and it's wild, like like the way she
can make her face move.

Speaker 6 (59:03):
Yeah, like this was this was no AI way I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (59:10):
I says the priest as he's smoking a cigarette looking at.

Speaker 8 (59:18):
But you couldn't even talk about it afterwards. I'm trying
to like bring stuff up.

Speaker 3 (59:21):
But it was like, keep it to yourself, don't talk
to me.

Speaker 5 (59:25):
Need to close that portal. I need to process. I
need to process the portal and Kim was like, please
close the portal. I don't want to be in the portal.
And I was like, but we're here and I have
to talk about it. I've talked about everything.

Speaker 1 (59:36):
But to like just taking a back Like Candice Cameron
Beret has never watched any of those movies. They're like
even could like nobody who she knows has ever watched
any of those movies.

Speaker 2 (59:46):
I bet she's talking about like Beetlejuice.

Speaker 1 (59:49):
You know, she's definitely talking about She's talking about Philadelphia, Jack.

Speaker 2 (59:56):
Washington, That's what she's talking about.

Speaker 8 (59:58):
Poltergeist was definitely.

Speaker 1 (01:00:02):
Producer Catherine pointed out that Poltergeist is one that evangelical
stuck with people. People like they just they have so
little to worry about in many cases, and so they're
just like making up ship to be scared of and
telling each other ghost stories and go to therapy.

Speaker 3 (01:00:21):
It is fun.

Speaker 1 (01:00:22):
Like when I lived in Kentucky, Like there there was
like a lot of the best basketball game after school
was Fellowship of Christian Athletes and then they would give
you a Christian like testimony afterwards. And I saw some
wild ship that was like, yeah, the dark like the
darkest ship that you've ever seen outside of a fucking

(01:00:45):
recovery meeting.

Speaker 2 (01:00:46):
Like, yeah, I talked.

Speaker 1 (01:00:50):
I talked about one that always stuck with me where
somebody was like talking about how their sister died next
to them in a car accident and they like as
she died, they like knew she was going to help
because she hadn't been saved by Christ.

Speaker 6 (01:01:03):
Oh my god.

Speaker 2 (01:01:04):
Yeah yeah, and.

Speaker 1 (01:01:06):
Like and then somebody we knew, like a kid who
we played basketball with, died of a great n angeurism
and like the moms started gossiping about whether or not
he was saved.

Speaker 6 (01:01:16):
Like what a horrible fucking existence. Yeah, yeah, what a
horrible existence.

Speaker 3 (01:01:21):
But that's what they got going on.

Speaker 2 (01:01:23):
That's yeah, Candice Cameron, please start. You need to worry
about the real threat. Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen are
out here selling depleted uranium, right, too bad actors.

Speaker 5 (01:01:35):
I also am not entirely convinced, And I hope this
is true. I really do, because I have a very
soft spot for child actors in my heart. So like, yeah, uh,
Mary Kate Nashley Olsen are kind of the only billionaires
where I'm like you do you ladies, like.

Speaker 6 (01:01:50):
Keep your billions.

Speaker 2 (01:01:51):
That's a rough road, truly.

Speaker 5 (01:01:52):
Honestly, because I'm just like whatever these little girls saw
like as children, Like, I'm just like, you deserve billions.
But I'm also not entire really convinced that they're of
this planet. Like I feel like they are the strongest
argument for like aliens living among us, I really do there.

Speaker 2 (01:02:08):
I went to elementary school with them, and they were
pretty normal. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah they're cool.
Yeah were they cool? They were yeah, they were cool. Yeah,
they were just normal. They were in school. Oh my
cutting out seat because I signed an NDA and I'm
putting myself at tremendous risk right now. Somebody's at my door.

(01:02:29):
I need to go get that. Somebody's at my door.
I'll be right back. I'm sure.

Speaker 5 (01:02:34):
That actually makes me so happy that they were like
like normal.

Speaker 2 (01:02:41):
Like the friends, you know what I mean, and like
they were just you know, they were in the grade
below me. Uh you know, uh you know, Mary Kate asked,
you know, she wanted if I could take her to
the dance, you know what I mean. But it wasn't
like that. We didn't have dates to the school dances
back there. You know, it's nothing you know what I mean,
you know, but yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, but then
they I mean growing up in LA, like I grew

(01:03:01):
up with a lot of kids who were on TV
and in movies, and yeah, it's it's definitely a it's
a it's a variety, like you know Michelle Trachtenberg, you know,
Rest of the Peace. I went to high school and
you know, she was also like a very normal kid
and like, but I get like when you are acting
as a kid, there's so much more psychological, like such

(01:03:23):
a psychological burden on you to keep working to either
support your family, to like not be bullied by other kids.
It's like it's it's yeah, it's fucked up. That's why.
Like to your point, I'm like, if you make it
out of there, fucking God bless you. Because I knew,
I knew, I know too many kids I didn't.

Speaker 5 (01:03:39):
Maybe I'll mention this in my plug area, but uh,
this is not something that I normally talk about, but
just because it's coming up. Like one of my day
jobs is I actually work with professional actor children and
I mentor them in like life skills and so try
to give them, uh normal childhood opportunities and events and
things like that, and we have like a month a

(01:04:00):
life lesson kind of group or whatever. And it's actually
a nonprofit organization called Looking Ahead that is free to
like if you're a professional actor, it's free. You can
be in it from the age of nine to eighteen,
and you're in it for the rest of your life, even.

Speaker 6 (01:04:11):
If you quit acting.

Speaker 5 (01:04:13):
And it's specifically geared towards the types of struggles that
professional actor kids are dealing with that are just like,
there is no other there's no comparable situation to it.
It's a very singular situation and I I.

Speaker 6 (01:04:37):
Have a lot of feelings about Yeah, child actor.

Speaker 2 (01:04:41):
Yeah, you know, it seldom works out, and it seldom
ends up with a kid being able to have their
childhood or their childhood innocence intact without having to either.
You know. Best case is like you grow up rapidly. Yes,
it's like the best case. Yeah, and it's worst case
it's just all the self the.

Speaker 6 (01:04:59):
Worst cases you don't grow up dead.

Speaker 3 (01:05:01):
Yeah exactly.

Speaker 13 (01:05:02):
Yeah, all right, so that's the real portal, Candide, Maybe
reach out to your former co stars, see how they're
doing it, help facilitate some urine.

Speaker 2 (01:05:15):
Tell the depleted uradium down all right, that's gonna do it.
