Speaker 1 (00:06):
Hello, it'saw us on the side. What's up. I'm gandhi
from Elvis Durant in the Morning Show, and I'm with
like girl Diamond there, Hi.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Good morning. Wow.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Two seconds ago you were just saying something else crazy
and in a completely different tone, and then the mic
comes on and she's Hi, amazing. You got fake it
till you make it? Yeah, I think you've made it,
my love really, Yeah, doesn't you feel like it right now?
Why what's going on?
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Oh? I don't really want to sound like a complainer,
but my check was short.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
In this economy, my check was check being short is
wildly important.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Yes, and then I overpaid my credit card, so it's
just your check was short. Yeah. So it's like a
mix of just like the good thing about it, the
silver lining, whatever, the bright side, whatever the hippies say,
is like, at least you had the money that you
overpaid with, right, So like, okay, great, I didn't overdraft
(00:58):
or anything like that. But now she's on a very
strict budget for the next few weeks.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Well, and it is what it is. But you know, okay,
there's a couple things to unpack. Their one. I like
that you associate positivity with hippies. Oh they're happy fucking
hippy shit.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
What is this? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (01:14):
But two, if you overpaid your credit card, then can
you not use your credit card if you need to?
Well in these next couple of weeks. I'm just paid
off immediately, so you're not hitting that interest.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
I don't want to open that door.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Okay, that's go free.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
I'm gonna try. I've been trying to only use cash
because I don't know what I did at the end
of last year. I don't know. I was just free,
bawling and living my fucking life. Great for me, honestly,
don't regret it at all. The world is mom exactly.
I think. You know what, if I look at my
if I track my spending from the first week of
November to now, I'm almost positive that I thought I
(01:49):
was gonna die within the next month, and I was like,
fuck it, I'm just gonna buy whatever I was and that.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Death is right around the corner every day anymore. I
have started joining these like grassroots organization because there are
things that are just driving me insane. And I'm the
person that says I'm not just gonna sit here and
complain about it. I'm gonna get up, and I'm gonna
do something. I am telling you now, I will take
time off work and I will lay my body down
in front of bulldozers if anyone tries to start touching
(02:13):
these national parks. I have been so stressed out about
so many things that are happening right now. Every executive
order is stupider than the one before it. No one's
putting any thought into this. People are trying to make
it left and right. And we've talked about this so
many times. It's not that it's the rich against the poor,
and the poor are like, yes, tax us, tax the bar.
It's so weird. But a lot of this stuff which
we've talked about, it's gonna get tied up in legislation,
(02:35):
so it's not immediate danger. But when you take a
bunch of regulations away from the national parks and there
are people living there and there's trash there that accumulates
and trails don't get taken care of, there is immediate
danger to that. And you know how close they are
to my soul. It just makes me very sad. So
I've reached out to some people and they hooked me
up with some groups that are fascinating, really yeah, I.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Mean it is really sad, I think. So we talked
about this on the show off the show, but like
ignorance is really bliss right, So like if we wouldn't
have gone on these trips, I wouldn't care about what
was going on in the national parks. I'd be like, Okay,
that's sad. People are losing their jobs and that really
makes me sad for people because they won't have money.
(03:17):
But when you think about what's going to happen in
these parks from these people not being able to just
do like we're not talking about people just walking through
the parks and getting paid to just sit around at parks. No,
you know, they're actually doing things that make our lives
easier and better. So it's sad. It's really sad actually.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
And our country better and protecting these lands that you
know will get trucked in a heartbeat if they could.
And the thing that kills me about all of it is,
and we can go on about this for days, but
people are really worried about these like tiny little oh
people taking advantage of snap benefits or food stamps or
you know, Grandma Carolin are sixty five dollars a day
while they're subsidizing billions of dollars for bullshit that is
(03:59):
not getting anything done. And when you talk about firing
a bunch of park rangers, people who are not making
a ton of money, Nobody who became a park ranger
was like, I am doing this so that I can
become a millionaire, Because they don't. They all do it
out of the goodness of their heart and passion. They
care about the land, they care about the animals, They're
doing good work. It's hard to even become a park ranger.
The things that they have to do, it's crazy. And
(04:20):
then to just come in and be like, yeah, we
don't need you. As matter of fact, maybe we start
privatizing this land. Can you imagine a house in the
middle of Glacier Park.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
No, that's so sad.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
I can't. I can't let even't.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
I mean, but this just opens up a beer conversation
that I'm always ready for. But I don't think a
lot of other people are doing just the fact that
like the areas outside of the national parks are going
to get hit the worst, yeah, or the most. And
we encountered a lot of these people, yes, and these
are the people who have Trump signs outside of their homes,
(04:54):
and they like really believed and still probably believe that
this administration cares about them and the way that their
worlds are going to crumble. I hate Like I listened
to a podcast the other day about the fact that like, yes,
fuck around and find out, like we feel good saying it,
but nobody really, like nobody with a heart really wants
to see people.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
I really don't want to actually see people suffer, but.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
A lot of people are going to and like we
have to mentally prepare ourselves for the fact that we're
going to see them suffer, and we, as nice people,
are going to feel bad, but we have to remember
that they cause.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
This, right, You can't help people who don't want to
help themselves. No, So when the hurricane came through Tampa recently,
whose name I'm blanking on, but it was a big
one and my dad wouldn't leave.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Well, yes, I can't remember the name either. I want
to say Helene, but that wasn't home.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
That was North Cairlyleen, No, it was Helene.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Helene was North Carolina.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Look at us, Do you think I knew? I don't
know the big one that just hit Tampa, And like
decimated things. I was begging my dad not to go back.
He was here with me. He went back into the
hurricane zone. In his head, he's like, I've lived in
Florida forever. These things don't ever happen. It's a very
fluoridian of him to be doing that. That's how it
has always been, like, even when I was a kid,
(06:09):
they don't leave, like we stay in Florida. There's a
hurricane coming, I'm starter than the hurricane. I'm not going anywhere.
So he did that thing, and in my head, I
was like, you know what I wish. I don't want
his house to get wiped out, because that too would
be my house and then guess what my dad's'ld be
living with me and a fuck no. But I also
just don't want anything bad to happen to him. But
I was like, you know, it would be a real
shame that power got knocked out for like three or
(06:32):
four hours, just enough to scare the shit out of here,
are you Yeah, but not actually do anything or you know,
like maybe a couple of shingles come off the roof,
maybe like a window cracks doesn't break crack.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
When you hear a little rocket the window and you're nervous. Yeah, yeah,
did glass really shouter?
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Right?
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Is my life almost over?
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Just enough to scare him enough, like a good enough
scare that he'd be like, you know, I should rethink
my decisions. I would like that to happen to a
lot of people because now we all have to find
out as a team, and I'm not excited about that.
So to your ignorance is bliss thing. Your question was
great and I loved it. You post a question what life?
(07:11):
Would you rather have?
Speaker 2 (07:13):
A life where you are where you have access to
great things, but you complain about every little thing. I mean,
like you see and are exposed to people who make
a lot of money and have lavish lifestyles and you're
really close to it and you know or like you
have it, but every little thing, any little inconvenience, bothers
(07:35):
you or you feel like it's like the world is ending,
I e. Me overpaying a credit card, Like it's not
that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things.
Would you rather live a life where you don't know
how hard your life is and you're just living life
because you think that this is just what it is.
Like you hear people say Oh, that's life. Like, yeah,
it is, but like life is really hard for a
(07:57):
lot of people. Yeah, but a lot of them don't
complain about it because this is all they know. Yeah,
And I'm like, I think I'd rather have that life
where like I'm trucking it and like busting my ass
for a paycheck that some people think is nothing, probably,
but like this is all I know. You find happiness
to pay all my bills, I'm able to have a
(08:18):
little bit left over to eat and just be happy
and like and.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Those things very joy, like actual joy, hanging out with
your family, being able to have like a cookout and
a party, a backyard party. That stuff was great. I
was sort of telling you this that until I moved here,
there was so much about decadence and luxury and excess
that I had never been exposed to. Now keep in mind,
I didn't do some growing up in South Florida, so
(08:43):
it's not like I hadn't seen it, but it was
sort of just all this illusion that was on the
other side of a fence. It wasn't attainable for me.
Every now and then, we would like party on someone's
yacht that we shouldn't be on because it was parked
at the dock, you know what I mean. But it
was never like our thing. Now I'm around all of
this stuff and all of these people, and I don't
actually want these things, but I know that there is
(09:04):
this perception of me still being mildly trashy compared to
everyone else thinks just because I don't care about these
things and I don't have these things, and a lot
of things I don't even know. Like when I first
moved here, they were talking about how they gave Thomas
Rhett a gift. I think it was Thomas Rhett and
it was Fendy, and they showed me a label and
they're like, look up the price of whatever. And I
didn't even know what to look up because I didn't
(09:24):
know what the label was because I don't I'm so
far removed from all of these things. I didn't know
what I didn't know.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
But that's a blessing, it is, like it really is.
I think that the problems completely different because like I
grew up in the city, right, so, like everyone that
I knew, no matter what their bank accounts looked like,
were coming into the city and buying whatever they wanted
and could afford, even if it was their very last
(09:52):
and like, you grow up thinking that you have to
have specific things when honestly, I look at so many
other people who grew up in other places where these
things don't fucking matter, and I'm like.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
They don't matter.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
I have this because why did it take me so
long to like really realize that none of this shit
really matters? And then I'm still battling it because I'll
say really hard for something that I feel like, you
know what, I've worked hard enough. I deserve it. But
in the grand scheme of things, I get it, and
I'm like, oh, it's not that big of a deal.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
I look at so many things and I do the
cost calculation of what else could I get with this. Yeah,
so we're talking about a Chanelle bag. It's like five
thousand dollars on the lower end, and I calculate how
many times I could see my sister or if I
could take a trip with my sister to do something fun,
and I'm like, that bag is not worth it to me.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Sure, that's smart. I need to start doing that.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
But I also did this thing I taught my friend
the other day because he bought like an led plant
that was like three hundred dollars. He's like, I don't know,
it's just kind of like a stupid excessive spend, and
I said, I mean it is. But also, how long
is that thing supposed to last? He said? Years? I'm like, so,
if every day you turn it on and it brings
you joy every single day, you basically paid a dollar
(11:04):
a day for a year of that, you would do that, right.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Yeah, that's not that bad.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
I don't think that any of these bags or luxury
items bring me that joy. Yeah, And I'm not judging
anybody else if it does. I'm just saying for me,
it doesn't. For me, what brought me a lot of
joy was spending money to fly out to Montana and
see Glacier National Park, which there was stuff there that
I just can't even imagine existed in this country, and
it was kind of a secret. I hope it stays
(11:29):
that way. No, I don't want people to go up
in there and trash it, not when we're struggling to
have staff take care of it.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Yeah, but I kind of want people to go and
see it and realize the importance of these parks and
like how great that is.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Let's protect them first before we unleash the crowds.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Oh god, I know, I'm terrified.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
It's a terrifying time. But I also read and I
think this is really important that right now, as we know,
it's a very well studied, well researched phenomenon of when
you overwhelm people, you will make them give up. So
if you hit people with a thousand psychotic executive orders,
you're gonna push a lot of people to a point
of I can't do anything about anything. Fuck it, I quit.
(12:10):
I'm not doing anything. That's untrue. If you focus on
three that are really important to you, and you join
the organizations that are gonna do something to look out
for them, you can. We can, all of us make
a difference. It's going to happen. The numbers are on
our side. Really, the bodies absolutely, Okay, yes, okay, bodies
are on our side. I mean, listen, you're gonna talk
(12:33):
about Luigi. Please tell me I'm not condoning what he did.
I'm saying, how fascinating that when that happened, the support
that he got cross racial barriers, political backgrounds. A lot
of rich people were like, yeah, I gotta see what happened.
(12:53):
I had never witnessed something where it was a blatant
This dude executed somebody in broad daylight, and so many
people were coming up with alibis online for him, and
as soon as they found out who the victim was,
so many people were just like, oh, yeah, I'm telling you.
The bodies are on our side. People just have to
know how to organize and unite these bodies to do
(13:15):
the right things.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Also, I think another thing that they're doing, they meaning
the people who think that we're stupid. Let's just put
it like that.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Yeah, without you know me, I think everyone's stupid.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Okay, But like while they're throwing out these executive orders
and stuff like that, you have congressmen and women blatantly
lying about things that are being passed, Like a bill
was passed, No, it was a budget, but id of understand,
Oh there's no more tax on tips. You're lying? Yeah,
(13:49):
Like I don't, I don't, I don't understand. And I
think that that's another thing that they think that we
don't care about, Like, oh, they're so overwhelm, they're not
even going to realize that this is a lie when
right all places, I'm sorry, I get it really irritates
me and then you got fucking Mayor Adams. I can't
take his ass, Negros. You need imagine the.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Ball well for people who don't know what's going on
with that, tell them.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Okay, So, I mean we live in New York City
or the outskirts of New York City. You and Mayor
Adams have something in common.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
We live in Jersey. Yeah, you live in.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Jersey, but you work in New York City. I mean,
you know anyway, you are upfront about it. He's a
fucking liar anyway. He don't worry what's on. Mayor Adams
don't worry about and you know what he should have
known back then. I should have known.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
We'll get to that in a second.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Go ahead, so I listen. I've grown up in Brooklyn
my entire life, so I've known who he was for
a really long time. He was our Brooklyn borough president
for a while, right. He replaced a guy that everyone loved,
so it was very it was a tra transition. He
claims that he did such a good job with Brooklyn.
I don't think so. But anyway, he has lied from
(15:07):
the day that he was elected, probably before that, but
like we started paying attention, he has lied from the
day that he was elected till this very day he
was brought up on charges for what's the actual word.
It's not like necessarily it definitely is fraud, but what's
the actual.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
He's been charged with conspiracy to defraud the United States,
wire fraud, soliciting campaign contributions from foreign nationals, and one
count of soliciting and accepting a bribe.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Yes, so all of that and thanks to his good
old pal who lives in Trump Tower and mar Largo
log Oh yes, I always pronounced it wrong. I like
the r at it. Who's gonna stop you if they're
making up shit? So can I? Anyway, So now all
of a sudden, his chargers are being dropped. He's a
(15:54):
quote unquote free man. He's living life. He has this
new battery in his back, as people from Brooklyn say,
and he thinks that nobody can stop him. But people
have been calling him out, which they've been doing since
we realized that he was a liar, so the same people.
This is the issue is that it's the same people
calling him out. And these are like specific organizations and
(16:16):
he knows these people and like it's led by like
some to some of the black dims in Brooklyn and
stuff like that, and so he knows these people, he
hates them, and so he does a press conference and
he's like trying to compare himself to Jesus Christ, which
is in fuck insane. You negroes know not what you do.
(16:38):
Excuse me, sir ah. You know I've been trying to
get him a pass by the way, Yes, yes, and
that's why he thinks he could get away with calling
us negroes. I'm confused, like, how am I a negro?
Because I'm just trying to get you to take accountability
for the bullshit that you do.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Apparently, comparing yourself to Jesus is a really solid campaign
move at the moment because it really makes a lot
of people back off, like, oh, but he's Jesus, Like please, please.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Know a white man could do that, black man cannot do.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Mean, while Jesus, let's be honest, what color was Jesus?
Speaker 2 (17:08):
No, but you know we're talking to people who don't
never mind anyway, do.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
You think Jesus is black?
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (17:14):
I think Jesus was like a dark Middle Eastern well
for sure.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
But then here's the thing that gets me. I know
Jesus was fair of wool part yea makes me feel
like he was a little bit more African than people
are led to believe, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
But there are a lot of people from the Middle
East who have wool like hair. Okay, so it could be.
It could either way. It was a dark skinned person. Yes,
by the way, born in Bethlehem. Bethlehem in Palestine.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Oh, I didn't know that.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Yeah, I went and saw.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Bethlehem was in Palestine.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Oh, babes, we got a lot to talk about it.
We have a lot to discuss.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
But back to Mayor Adams real quick. He has done
so many laughable things at this point. If the circus
ever needs another clown, he is ready and able to
fill those giant red shoes. When he first started, he
had this whole thing where he was a vegan and
he wanted all the kids in the New York City
public schools to have a vegan day. He forced vegan
(18:10):
food down their dann throats.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
And by the way, it looked disgusting. It was horrible.
It looked off.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
There can be great vegan food, that was not it.
What happened he got caught out and about eating.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Fish at a restaurant.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
People are taking pictures. Look at this motherfucker eating this
food and trying to make the kids eat this vegan trash.
What is this? And his response was, don't worry about
what's Mayor Adam's plate. You know what, I wouldn't have
worried about it had you not brought up what was
on your plate. But you can't bring up what's on
your plate and us be like, no, that's not on
(18:44):
your plate, and then you say, don't worry about what's
on my plate? Are you crazy?
Speaker 2 (18:50):
He's a ten out of ten experience if you don't
care about what he's really doing or not doing. He's
the only mayor that I've ever seen in my thirty
years of living in New York City out He's like
in the clubs, yes, in partying in the clubs. He
got his air pairs, he had one czers isl in office.
(19:10):
He gets his eyebrows threaded in Queen's and they have
videos of him getting them threaded. This man lives a
life that I know that he thinks is great. But
it's a joke. It literally is.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
If you look at our politicians of the moment as
WWE characters, it might be a little bit more stomachable
because they're not human. They're insane. There's no rational thinking.
You know, one of my friends, I think I might
have told you this. He just randomly called me and
he was like, Hey, who's your favorite president? I said, what,
I don't know I could answer my favorite dinosaur. I
(19:44):
don't know if I could answer my favorite president. So
I thought about it, and I was like, maybe JFK.
Seemed like he had a bunch of good ideas. And then,
you know, because he had such good ideas, people snuffed
him out. Lincoln did free the slaves, but he had
a lot of shitty shit to say, yep, slaves too.
I mean, there's so much that goes into, you know,
(20:04):
the layers of a person. And then I thought, well,
any politician, I mean, they're all kind of shitty. You
know who I think is not shitty? Bernie. I think
there's not a lot of shitty stuff about Bernie.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
I look at him as like a guy who like,
if I was dating a guy like Bernie, it would
be a no for me, because in theory he's a
great guy, but I personally don't think that he had
the plan to execute everything that he wanted to do
well there's.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
No money because for him to execute the things that
he would want to do, other things would have to suffer.
But we're seeing that clearly no one cares about that
as long as it comes into their pockets. They don't
care about just slashing get money from people, like it's crazy.
But I don't think as far as like skeletons in
his closet. That's what I think when I say I
don't think he's a bad guy. I think of all
the politicians, he might be one of the good ones.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
You think you think Obama had skeletons in his closet? Yeah, really,
I think they would have found him. They were on
him about a Tan Tan suit.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
You think they.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Don't like you know, like I think about things like that,
and I'm like, if they if he really had shit
on him, somebody would have dimed him out by now.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Oh, I know, no one's gonna like this, but if
you do look up Obama and drone strikes, and you
know people who may or may not have been on
the shit side of that, it's not great. Okay, I
still listen of all of the elected politicians, he would
still be up in the top for me. But I
just don't think that he's, in all facets of his
life a good person. And I don't know that anybody
(21:33):
really is. I don't know that Bernie is. Bernie's old
enough to have done some crazy shit back in the day,
you know. But it seems like when you look at
him back in the day, Yeah, like he was that
dude on the right side of history, even when everybody
else was on the other side. And I hope that
for us we end up falling on the right side
of things.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
Oh man, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
I'm not just looking the other way.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
I'm ready to give up.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Don't do it. That's what they want, the oligarchy, that's
what they want. First thought was, I'm going to deactivate
all of my accounts on Meta because I don't want
to be any part of you people doing well from
some content that I provide. But wouldn't that be nice
if every person that had a dissenting opinion left your platform,
(22:15):
then you only have all the people who have your
same opinion. It's an echo chamber. I wish somebody would
sit in here and disagree with us, because it's just
two of us talking about the same thing. It would
be nice if there was someone who had an opposing
viewpoint that could talk about it rationally and maybe, just
maybe they might teach us something.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
In twenty twenty five, I don't think so. Maybe in
twenty eighteen. Maybe No, not right now.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Sorry, probably not happening now. So what I think is
funny is we were just supposed to do the opens
and closes of an interview that I actually thought was
a really good one. Do you think we should just
push that off to next week and just do this
little minisodes this?
Speaker 2 (22:50):
Yeah, probably it.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Took a turn. See this is why I say maybe
the podcast just needs to be us shooting the shit.
Who's to say it doesn't turn into that. But what
I will say about the interview that will be coming
next week. Her name is Crystal Kung Minkoff. She's amazing.
She was one of the real housewives of Beverly Hills.
She has a lot going on in her life. Andrew
and Diamond were both like, I think you'll really like
this woman. Of all the people, you'd probably want to
(23:13):
be friends with her, and I was like, I'll be honest,
I don't know if I want to be friends with
any of them. They seem like fun people, good people,
as far as like, do I want to be friends
with you? I'm a little scared. I don't know. When
I met her, absolutely I could see myself maybe hanging
out with her of all of them besties. But but
she crossed me. So she was supposed to be here
(23:35):
for an interview at a certain time. And you may
have heard me say this on the Big Show at
some point, but the one thing I don't like to
fuck around with is my time because it's the one
thing we will never get back. You cannot make me
more time. If you waste it, it's gone forever. Think
about that, just in everything that you do. She' was
supposed to be here at ten thirty. Somehow she pushed
it to eleven, and Andrew over here, okayed it, which
(23:58):
we'll get him in here and talk about that at
some point, because he didn't tell me until it was
almost time for her, and he's like, oh, just give
an eleven oka rip into his ass. I should Then
eleven comes around eleven ten fifteen, I said, are we joking?
Because at this point in my head, now you're forty
five minutes, like even Andrew gave you the green light,
why are you not here at ten thirty. But okay,
(24:18):
So I said to him around eleven fifteen, I'm giving
this until eleven twenty, and I'm walking out the door
because I do not care enough about this to stick
around and be disrespected by someone who also doesn't seem
to care about it. And when I tell you, I
think Andrew shit himself that day. He was like, ugh,
but can't you just can you? Nope, I will not.
I cannot. I'm not going to I'm not waiting an
(24:39):
hour for someone to show up that I was like
lukewarm on interviewing in the first place.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
Good for you, by the way.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
So I packed up my little backpack and I go
stomping out the door. Who do I see on my
way out her publicist and her walking in. So I
walk up to and I'm like, hey, I'm leaving. This
was supposed to be at ten thirty. I have other
things to do. I gotta get out of here, at
which point she looked at me and said, and this
is why I was. It's like, she said, oh my gosh,
I'm so sorry. I didn't realize there was a hard
(25:05):
out time, or else I would have been here earlier.
I'm sorry. What, Yeah, so you just thought I was
gonna be sitting around all day and you could show
up when you wanted to show up.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
Man, I do a morning show. Yeah, people don't get it.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
Yeah, So I said, oh, there is always a hard
out time, but more importantly, there's a hard start time.
So I'm gonna go ahead and hop in my uber
you can if you want to reschedule with Andrew, be
here on time, and we can see if we can
reado it at that point. So that's what ended up happening.
And after all that, she was great. So this is
a tease for next week now because Crystal was actually
(25:36):
really awesome. She had a lot of interesting things to say.
She was pretty honest about some things that you might
want to know about the housewives, and yeah, she's beautiful
and she's fun and I'm here for it. I felt
bad for a second because Andrew looked as though he
shit his pants. He deserves his pants, But I also
thought these are teaching moments, Andrew. I hope now you
(25:59):
know when I say I'm not waiting, i am not waiting,
and now the door. I also think these are some
of the things that maybe people say that I'm difficult,
but I don't think it was my fault. No text
us now or actually call us. No, you can't do
any of those things.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
I'm sorry. No talkbacks.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
Do a talkback the little microphone thing on the app,
you could do a talkback. You could dm us, you
could leave a review, but I guess in reviews you're
not really going to like respond to this one specific episode.
That would be kind of funny, but don't do it. Also,
you know what I want talkbacks about. I would like
to start doing. You know, we used to do the
Burn Book regularly, which I did just kind of burn
our next guest, but I like her, so it's not
(26:38):
a burn. Just facts, just the facts man, of what happened.
I would love it if people left us talkbacks about
what they would like to be a regular segment. Oh cool,
because I think those could be fun. And I would
love to do something that was, like, you know, mildly consistent.
Not my strong suit.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
It's just chaos, and I'll every second of it.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
It is I. I diamond, am neurodivergent. I have ADHD.
I'm surprised by that at all. Wait, I thought it
was just a very well known fact that I had ADHD.
I thought I really just accepted that.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
Knew that. Oh I didn't know that, but it makes
a lot of sense. Oh does it same? No, I
know I'm on the spectrum.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
I have no doubt. I think everybody is. That's why
it's the spectrum. Even if you're at the very beginning
or the very end, you're selling the spectrum somewhere right.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
Yeah, either way, I think to start talking about that more.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
Yeah. What I won't do is medicate it.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
So ha haa.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
Everybody, you get what you get? Oh stop, I will
never I've never taken medicine for it. I'm not going to.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
Were you offered adderall?
Speaker 1 (27:38):
Oh my god, my god.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
Bring it in.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
I'm not a drug dealer case.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
Sorry Oh yeah no.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
By the way, fun fact, when you travel to Mexico,
they are pharmacies. You can get so many things over
the counter there that you can't get here.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
I saw into Loom. Did you go to the Little
I didn't do this, but like you know, I went
into I don't know if it was me or one
of my cousins. Someone had cramps and they were really bad,
and we went in and I'm almost positive that someone
was offered like percocet and yeah, I had.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
Now they have viking in percoset, xanax adderall met foreman
for like diabetics, all these things that you need prescriptions
for here. But the problem is apparently depending on the
pharmacy you go to, you need to go to a
licensed pharmacy, because there are all kinds of like tourist
pharmacies where some of those pills could be pressed with
fentanyl as well, so you have to be very careful.
I am not recommending this to anyone. I was just
very surprised that you can buy so many things over
(28:29):
the counter. I don't think anyone's putting fentanyl in your foreman.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
If you never known these days are they're losing it.
These aren't the drug dealers of in the eighties and nineties, babes.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
You weren't even alive in the eighties nor buying drugs.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
Well, I heard a lot about it.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
You know, they had the purest stuff back in my day,
you know. All right, So like, subscribe, follow, please send
us a talkback, you can review us, give us your
star rating whatever, Diamond if they want to find you
on Instagram, where they find you.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
At Diamond sincere on Instagram and on x I mean
on Twitter at diamond sincere with an underscore at the Okay,
I am at Baby Hot Sauce on Twitter and Instagram,
and that's it.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
I'm really nowhere else. I have a TikTok account. All
I do is lurk. I don't post anything. Maybe someday
you should. Maybe when it's on its way out, I'll
join the party. Seems to be my forte in life.
All right, thanks for listening to our raving lunacy.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
I think is a political rant.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
Our political rant.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
Yeah, Eric Adams, your own my list?
Speaker 1 (29:30):
Actually, no, watch out man. She does not have a list,
and she's not with it.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
For all of us who can't say things like that
anymore
Speaker 1 (29:36):
Dan Luigi, all right, say bye bye,
Hello, it'saw us on the side. What's up. I'm gandhi
from Elvis Durant in the Morning Show, and I'm with
like girl Diamond there, Hi.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Good morning. Wow.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Two seconds ago you were just saying something else crazy
and in a completely different tone, and then the mic
comes on and she's Hi, amazing. You got fake it
till you make it? Yeah, I think you've made it,
my love really, Yeah, doesn't you feel like it right now?
Why what's going on?
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Oh? I don't really want to sound like a complainer,
but my check was short.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
In this economy, my check was check being short is
wildly important.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Yes, and then I overpaid my credit card, so it's
just your check was short. Yeah. So it's like a
mix of just like the good thing about it, the
silver lining, whatever, the bright side, whatever the hippies say,
is like, at least you had the money that you
overpaid with, right, So like, okay, great, I didn't overdraft
(00:58):
or anything like that. But now she's on a very
strict budget for the next few weeks.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Well, and it is what it is. But you know, okay,
there's a couple things to unpack. Their one. I like
that you associate positivity with hippies. Oh they're happy fucking
hippy shit.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
What is this? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (01:14):
But two, if you overpaid your credit card, then can
you not use your credit card if you need to?
Well in these next couple of weeks. I'm just paid
off immediately, so you're not hitting that interest.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
I don't want to open that door.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Okay, that's go free.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
I'm gonna try. I've been trying to only use cash
because I don't know what I did at the end
of last year. I don't know. I was just free,
bawling and living my fucking life. Great for me, honestly,
don't regret it at all. The world is mom exactly.
I think. You know what, if I look at my
if I track my spending from the first week of
November to now, I'm almost positive that I thought I
(01:49):
was gonna die within the next month, and I was like,
fuck it, I'm just gonna buy whatever I was and that.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Death is right around the corner every day anymore. I
have started joining these like grassroots organization because there are
things that are just driving me insane. And I'm the
person that says I'm not just gonna sit here and
complain about it. I'm gonna get up, and I'm gonna
do something. I am telling you now, I will take
time off work and I will lay my body down
in front of bulldozers if anyone tries to start touching
(02:13):
these national parks. I have been so stressed out about
so many things that are happening right now. Every executive
order is stupider than the one before it. No one's
putting any thought into this. People are trying to make
it left and right. And we've talked about this so
many times. It's not that it's the rich against the poor,
and the poor are like, yes, tax us, tax the bar.
It's so weird. But a lot of this stuff which
we've talked about, it's gonna get tied up in legislation,
(02:35):
so it's not immediate danger. But when you take a
bunch of regulations away from the national parks and there
are people living there and there's trash there that accumulates
and trails don't get taken care of, there is immediate
danger to that. And you know how close they are
to my soul. It just makes me very sad. So
I've reached out to some people and they hooked me
up with some groups that are fascinating, really yeah, I.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Mean it is really sad, I think. So we talked
about this on the show off the show, but like
ignorance is really bliss right, So like if we wouldn't
have gone on these trips, I wouldn't care about what
was going on in the national parks. I'd be like, Okay,
that's sad. People are losing their jobs and that really
makes me sad for people because they won't have money.
(03:17):
But when you think about what's going to happen in
these parks from these people not being able to just
do like we're not talking about people just walking through
the parks and getting paid to just sit around at parks. No,
you know, they're actually doing things that make our lives
easier and better. So it's sad. It's really sad actually.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
And our country better and protecting these lands that you
know will get trucked in a heartbeat if they could.
And the thing that kills me about all of it is,
and we can go on about this for days, but
people are really worried about these like tiny little oh
people taking advantage of snap benefits or food stamps or
you know, Grandma Carolin are sixty five dollars a day
while they're subsidizing billions of dollars for bullshit that is
(03:59):
not getting anything done. And when you talk about firing
a bunch of park rangers, people who are not making
a ton of money, Nobody who became a park ranger
was like, I am doing this so that I can
become a millionaire, Because they don't. They all do it
out of the goodness of their heart and passion. They
care about the land, they care about the animals, They're
doing good work. It's hard to even become a park ranger.
The things that they have to do, it's crazy. And
(04:20):
then to just come in and be like, yeah, we
don't need you. As matter of fact, maybe we start
privatizing this land. Can you imagine a house in the
middle of Glacier Park.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
No, that's so sad.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
I can't. I can't let even't.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
I mean, but this just opens up a beer conversation
that I'm always ready for. But I don't think a
lot of other people are doing just the fact that
like the areas outside of the national parks are going
to get hit the worst, yeah, or the most. And
we encountered a lot of these people, yes, and these
are the people who have Trump signs outside of their homes,
(04:54):
and they like really believed and still probably believe that
this administration cares about them and the way that their
worlds are going to crumble. I hate Like I listened
to a podcast the other day about the fact that like, yes,
fuck around and find out, like we feel good saying it,
but nobody really, like nobody with a heart really wants
to see people.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
I really don't want to actually see people suffer, but.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
A lot of people are going to and like we
have to mentally prepare ourselves for the fact that we're
going to see them suffer, and we, as nice people,
are going to feel bad, but we have to remember
that they cause.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
This, right, You can't help people who don't want to
help themselves. No, So when the hurricane came through Tampa recently,
whose name I'm blanking on, but it was a big
one and my dad wouldn't leave.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Well, yes, I can't remember the name either. I want
to say Helene, but that wasn't home.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
That was North Cairlyleen, No, it was Helene.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Helene was North Carolina.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Look at us, Do you think I knew? I don't
know the big one that just hit Tampa, And like
decimated things. I was begging my dad not to go back.
He was here with me. He went back into the
hurricane zone. In his head, he's like, I've lived in
Florida forever. These things don't ever happen. It's a very
fluoridian of him to be doing that. That's how it
has always been, like, even when I was a kid,
(06:09):
they don't leave, like we stay in Florida. There's a
hurricane coming, I'm starter than the hurricane. I'm not going anywhere.
So he did that thing, and in my head, I
was like, you know what I wish. I don't want
his house to get wiped out, because that too would
be my house and then guess what my dad's'ld be
living with me and a fuck no. But I also
just don't want anything bad to happen to him. But
I was like, you know, it would be a real
shame that power got knocked out for like three or
(06:32):
four hours, just enough to scare the shit out of here,
are you Yeah, but not actually do anything or you know,
like maybe a couple of shingles come off the roof,
maybe like a window cracks doesn't break crack.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
When you hear a little rocket the window and you're nervous. Yeah, yeah,
did glass really shouter?
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Right?
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Is my life almost over?
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Just enough to scare him enough, like a good enough
scare that he'd be like, you know, I should rethink
my decisions. I would like that to happen to a
lot of people because now we all have to find
out as a team, and I'm not excited about that.
So to your ignorance is bliss thing. Your question was
great and I loved it. You post a question what life?
(07:11):
Would you rather have?
Speaker 2 (07:13):
A life where you are where you have access to
great things, but you complain about every little thing. I mean,
like you see and are exposed to people who make
a lot of money and have lavish lifestyles and you're
really close to it and you know or like you
have it, but every little thing, any little inconvenience, bothers
(07:35):
you or you feel like it's like the world is ending,
I e. Me overpaying a credit card, Like it's not
that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things.
Would you rather live a life where you don't know
how hard your life is and you're just living life
because you think that this is just what it is.
Like you hear people say Oh, that's life. Like, yeah,
it is, but like life is really hard for a
(07:57):
lot of people. Yeah, but a lot of them don't
complain about it because this is all they know. Yeah,
And I'm like, I think I'd rather have that life
where like I'm trucking it and like busting my ass
for a paycheck that some people think is nothing, probably,
but like this is all I know. You find happiness
to pay all my bills, I'm able to have a
(08:18):
little bit left over to eat and just be happy
and like and.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Those things very joy, like actual joy, hanging out with
your family, being able to have like a cookout and
a party, a backyard party. That stuff was great. I
was sort of telling you this that until I moved here,
there was so much about decadence and luxury and excess
that I had never been exposed to. Now keep in mind,
I didn't do some growing up in South Florida, so
(08:43):
it's not like I hadn't seen it, but it was
sort of just all this illusion that was on the
other side of a fence. It wasn't attainable for me.
Every now and then, we would like party on someone's
yacht that we shouldn't be on because it was parked
at the dock, you know what I mean. But it
was never like our thing. Now I'm around all of
this stuff and all of these people, and I don't
actually want these things, but I know that there is
(09:04):
this perception of me still being mildly trashy compared to
everyone else thinks just because I don't care about these
things and I don't have these things, and a lot
of things I don't even know. Like when I first
moved here, they were talking about how they gave Thomas
Rhett a gift. I think it was Thomas Rhett and
it was Fendy, and they showed me a label and
they're like, look up the price of whatever. And I
didn't even know what to look up because I didn't
(09:24):
know what the label was because I don't I'm so
far removed from all of these things. I didn't know
what I didn't know.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
But that's a blessing, it is, like it really is.
I think that the problems completely different because like I
grew up in the city, right, so, like everyone that
I knew, no matter what their bank accounts looked like,
were coming into the city and buying whatever they wanted
and could afford, even if it was their very last
(09:52):
and like, you grow up thinking that you have to
have specific things when honestly, I look at so many
other people who grew up in other places where these
things don't fucking matter, and I'm like.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
They don't matter.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
I have this because why did it take me so
long to like really realize that none of this shit
really matters? And then I'm still battling it because I'll
say really hard for something that I feel like, you
know what, I've worked hard enough. I deserve it. But
in the grand scheme of things, I get it, and
I'm like, oh, it's not that big of a deal.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
I look at so many things and I do the
cost calculation of what else could I get with this. Yeah,
so we're talking about a Chanelle bag. It's like five
thousand dollars on the lower end, and I calculate how
many times I could see my sister or if I
could take a trip with my sister to do something fun,
and I'm like, that bag is not worth it to me.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Sure, that's smart. I need to start doing that.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
But I also did this thing I taught my friend
the other day because he bought like an led plant
that was like three hundred dollars. He's like, I don't know,
it's just kind of like a stupid excessive spend, and
I said, I mean it is. But also, how long
is that thing supposed to last? He said? Years? I'm like, so,
if every day you turn it on and it brings
you joy every single day, you basically paid a dollar
(11:04):
a day for a year of that, you would do that, right.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Yeah, that's not that bad.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
I don't think that any of these bags or luxury
items bring me that joy. Yeah, And I'm not judging
anybody else if it does. I'm just saying for me,
it doesn't. For me, what brought me a lot of
joy was spending money to fly out to Montana and
see Glacier National Park, which there was stuff there that
I just can't even imagine existed in this country, and
it was kind of a secret. I hope it stays
(11:29):
that way. No, I don't want people to go up
in there and trash it, not when we're struggling to
have staff take care of it.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Yeah, but I kind of want people to go and
see it and realize the importance of these parks and
like how great that is.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Let's protect them first before we unleash the crowds.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Oh god, I know, I'm terrified.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
It's a terrifying time. But I also read and I
think this is really important that right now, as we know,
it's a very well studied, well researched phenomenon of when
you overwhelm people, you will make them give up. So
if you hit people with a thousand psychotic executive orders,
you're gonna push a lot of people to a point
of I can't do anything about anything. Fuck it, I quit.
(12:10):
I'm not doing anything. That's untrue. If you focus on
three that are really important to you, and you join
the organizations that are gonna do something to look out
for them, you can. We can, all of us make
a difference. It's going to happen. The numbers are on
our side. Really, the bodies absolutely, Okay, yes, okay, bodies
are on our side. I mean, listen, you're gonna talk
(12:33):
about Luigi. Please tell me I'm not condoning what he did.
I'm saying, how fascinating that when that happened, the support
that he got cross racial barriers, political backgrounds. A lot
of rich people were like, yeah, I gotta see what happened.
(12:53):
I had never witnessed something where it was a blatant
This dude executed somebody in broad daylight, and so many
people were coming up with alibis online for him, and
as soon as they found out who the victim was,
so many people were just like, oh, yeah, I'm telling you.
The bodies are on our side. People just have to
know how to organize and unite these bodies to do
(13:15):
the right things.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Also, I think another thing that they're doing, they meaning
the people who think that we're stupid. Let's just put
it like that.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Yeah, without you know me, I think everyone's stupid.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Okay, But like while they're throwing out these executive orders
and stuff like that, you have congressmen and women blatantly
lying about things that are being passed, Like a bill
was passed, No, it was a budget, but id of understand,
Oh there's no more tax on tips. You're lying? Yeah,
(13:49):
Like I don't, I don't, I don't understand. And I
think that that's another thing that they think that we
don't care about, Like, oh, they're so overwhelm, they're not
even going to realize that this is a lie when
right all places, I'm sorry, I get it really irritates
me and then you got fucking Mayor Adams. I can't
take his ass, Negros. You need imagine the.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Ball well for people who don't know what's going on
with that, tell them.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Okay, So, I mean we live in New York City
or the outskirts of New York City. You and Mayor
Adams have something in common.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
We live in Jersey. Yeah, you live in.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Jersey, but you work in New York City. I mean,
you know anyway, you are upfront about it. He's a
fucking liar anyway. He don't worry what's on. Mayor Adams
don't worry about and you know what he should have
known back then. I should have known.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
We'll get to that in a second.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Go ahead, so I listen. I've grown up in Brooklyn
my entire life, so I've known who he was for
a really long time. He was our Brooklyn borough president
for a while, right. He replaced a guy that everyone loved,
so it was very it was a tra transition. He
claims that he did such a good job with Brooklyn.
I don't think so. But anyway, he has lied from
(15:07):
the day that he was elected, probably before that, but
like we started paying attention, he has lied from the
day that he was elected till this very day he
was brought up on charges for what's the actual word.
It's not like necessarily it definitely is fraud, but what's
the actual.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
He's been charged with conspiracy to defraud the United States,
wire fraud, soliciting campaign contributions from foreign nationals, and one
count of soliciting and accepting a bribe.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Yes, so all of that and thanks to his good
old pal who lives in Trump Tower and mar Largo
log Oh yes, I always pronounced it wrong. I like
the r at it. Who's gonna stop you if they're
making up shit? So can I? Anyway, So now all
of a sudden, his chargers are being dropped. He's a
(15:54):
quote unquote free man. He's living life. He has this
new battery in his back, as people from Brooklyn say,
and he thinks that nobody can stop him. But people
have been calling him out, which they've been doing since
we realized that he was a liar, so the same people.
This is the issue is that it's the same people
calling him out. And these are like specific organizations and
(16:16):
he knows these people and like it's led by like
some to some of the black dims in Brooklyn and
stuff like that, and so he knows these people, he
hates them, and so he does a press conference and
he's like trying to compare himself to Jesus Christ, which
is in fuck insane. You negroes know not what you do.
(16:38):
Excuse me, sir ah. You know I've been trying to
get him a pass by the way, Yes, yes, and
that's why he thinks he could get away with calling
us negroes. I'm confused, like, how am I a negro?
Because I'm just trying to get you to take accountability
for the bullshit that you do.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Apparently, comparing yourself to Jesus is a really solid campaign
move at the moment because it really makes a lot
of people back off, like, oh, but he's Jesus, Like please, please.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Know a white man could do that, black man cannot do.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Mean, while Jesus, let's be honest, what color was Jesus?
Speaker 2 (17:08):
No, but you know we're talking to people who don't
never mind anyway, do.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
You think Jesus is black?
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (17:14):
I think Jesus was like a dark Middle Eastern well
for sure.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
But then here's the thing that gets me. I know
Jesus was fair of wool part yea makes me feel
like he was a little bit more African than people
are led to believe, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
But there are a lot of people from the Middle
East who have wool like hair. Okay, so it could be.
It could either way. It was a dark skinned person. Yes,
by the way, born in Bethlehem. Bethlehem in Palestine.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Oh, I didn't know that.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Yeah, I went and saw.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Bethlehem was in Palestine.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Oh, babes, we got a lot to talk about it.
We have a lot to discuss.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
But back to Mayor Adams real quick. He has done
so many laughable things at this point. If the circus
ever needs another clown, he is ready and able to
fill those giant red shoes. When he first started, he
had this whole thing where he was a vegan and
he wanted all the kids in the New York City
public schools to have a vegan day. He forced vegan
(18:10):
food down their dann throats.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
And by the way, it looked disgusting. It was horrible.
It looked off.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
There can be great vegan food, that was not it.
What happened he got caught out and about eating.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Fish at a restaurant.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
People are taking pictures. Look at this motherfucker eating this
food and trying to make the kids eat this vegan trash.
What is this? And his response was, don't worry about
what's Mayor Adam's plate. You know what, I wouldn't have
worried about it had you not brought up what was
on your plate. But you can't bring up what's on
your plate and us be like, no, that's not on
(18:44):
your plate, and then you say, don't worry about what's
on my plate? Are you crazy?
Speaker 2 (18:50):
He's a ten out of ten experience if you don't
care about what he's really doing or not doing. He's
the only mayor that I've ever seen in my thirty
years of living in New York City out He's like
in the clubs, yes, in partying in the clubs. He
got his air pairs, he had one czers isl in office.
(19:10):
He gets his eyebrows threaded in Queen's and they have
videos of him getting them threaded. This man lives a
life that I know that he thinks is great. But
it's a joke. It literally is.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
If you look at our politicians of the moment as
WWE characters, it might be a little bit more stomachable
because they're not human. They're insane. There's no rational thinking.
You know, one of my friends, I think I might
have told you this. He just randomly called me and
he was like, Hey, who's your favorite president? I said, what,
I don't know I could answer my favorite dinosaur. I
(19:44):
don't know if I could answer my favorite president. So
I thought about it, and I was like, maybe JFK.
Seemed like he had a bunch of good ideas. And then,
you know, because he had such good ideas, people snuffed
him out. Lincoln did free the slaves, but he had
a lot of shitty shit to say, yep, slaves too.
I mean, there's so much that goes into, you know,
(20:04):
the layers of a person. And then I thought, well,
any politician, I mean, they're all kind of shitty. You
know who I think is not shitty? Bernie. I think
there's not a lot of shitty stuff about Bernie.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
I look at him as like a guy who like,
if I was dating a guy like Bernie, it would
be a no for me, because in theory he's a
great guy, but I personally don't think that he had
the plan to execute everything that he wanted to do
well there's.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
No money because for him to execute the things that
he would want to do, other things would have to suffer.
But we're seeing that clearly no one cares about that
as long as it comes into their pockets. They don't
care about just slashing get money from people, like it's crazy.
But I don't think as far as like skeletons in
his closet. That's what I think when I say I
don't think he's a bad guy. I think of all
the politicians, he might be one of the good ones.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
You think you think Obama had skeletons in his closet? Yeah, really,
I think they would have found him. They were on
him about a Tan Tan suit.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
You think they.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Don't like you know, like I think about things like that,
and I'm like, if they if he really had shit
on him, somebody would have dimed him out by now.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Oh, I know, no one's gonna like this, but if
you do look up Obama and drone strikes, and you
know people who may or may not have been on
the shit side of that, it's not great. Okay, I
still listen of all of the elected politicians, he would
still be up in the top for me. But I
just don't think that he's, in all facets of his
life a good person. And I don't know that anybody
(21:33):
really is. I don't know that Bernie is. Bernie's old
enough to have done some crazy shit back in the day,
you know. But it seems like when you look at
him back in the day, Yeah, like he was that
dude on the right side of history, even when everybody
else was on the other side. And I hope that
for us we end up falling on the right side
of things.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
Oh man, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
I'm not just looking the other way.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
I'm ready to give up.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Don't do it. That's what they want, the oligarchy, that's
what they want. First thought was, I'm going to deactivate
all of my accounts on Meta because I don't want
to be any part of you people doing well from
some content that I provide. But wouldn't that be nice
if every person that had a dissenting opinion left your platform,
(22:15):
then you only have all the people who have your
same opinion. It's an echo chamber. I wish somebody would
sit in here and disagree with us, because it's just
two of us talking about the same thing. It would
be nice if there was someone who had an opposing
viewpoint that could talk about it rationally and maybe, just
maybe they might teach us something.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
In twenty twenty five, I don't think so. Maybe in
twenty eighteen. Maybe No, not right now.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Sorry, probably not happening now. So what I think is
funny is we were just supposed to do the opens
and closes of an interview that I actually thought was
a really good one. Do you think we should just
push that off to next week and just do this
little minisodes this?
Speaker 2 (22:50):
Yeah, probably it.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Took a turn. See this is why I say maybe
the podcast just needs to be us shooting the shit.
Who's to say it doesn't turn into that. But what
I will say about the interview that will be coming
next week. Her name is Crystal Kung Minkoff. She's amazing.
She was one of the real housewives of Beverly Hills.
She has a lot going on in her life. Andrew
and Diamond were both like, I think you'll really like
this woman. Of all the people, you'd probably want to
(23:13):
be friends with her, and I was like, I'll be honest,
I don't know if I want to be friends with
any of them. They seem like fun people, good people,
as far as like, do I want to be friends
with you? I'm a little scared. I don't know. When
I met her, absolutely I could see myself maybe hanging
out with her of all of them besties. But but
she crossed me. So she was supposed to be here
(23:35):
for an interview at a certain time. And you may
have heard me say this on the Big Show at
some point, but the one thing I don't like to
fuck around with is my time because it's the one
thing we will never get back. You cannot make me
more time. If you waste it, it's gone forever. Think
about that, just in everything that you do. She' was
supposed to be here at ten thirty. Somehow she pushed
it to eleven, and Andrew over here, okayed it, which
(23:58):
we'll get him in here and talk about that at
some point, because he didn't tell me until it was
almost time for her, and he's like, oh, just give
an eleven oka rip into his ass. I should Then
eleven comes around eleven ten fifteen, I said, are we joking?
Because at this point in my head, now you're forty
five minutes, like even Andrew gave you the green light,
why are you not here at ten thirty. But okay,
(24:18):
So I said to him around eleven fifteen, I'm giving
this until eleven twenty, and I'm walking out the door
because I do not care enough about this to stick
around and be disrespected by someone who also doesn't seem
to care about it. And when I tell you, I
think Andrew shit himself that day. He was like, ugh,
but can't you just can you? Nope, I will not.
I cannot. I'm not going to I'm not waiting an
(24:39):
hour for someone to show up that I was like
lukewarm on interviewing in the first place.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
Good for you, by the way.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
So I packed up my little backpack and I go
stomping out the door. Who do I see on my
way out her publicist and her walking in. So I
walk up to and I'm like, hey, I'm leaving. This
was supposed to be at ten thirty. I have other
things to do. I gotta get out of here, at
which point she looked at me and said, and this
is why I was. It's like, she said, oh my gosh,
I'm so sorry. I didn't realize there was a hard
(25:05):
out time, or else I would have been here earlier.
I'm sorry. What, Yeah, so you just thought I was
gonna be sitting around all day and you could show
up when you wanted to show up.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
Man, I do a morning show. Yeah, people don't get it.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
Yeah, So I said, oh, there is always a hard
out time, but more importantly, there's a hard start time.
So I'm gonna go ahead and hop in my uber
you can if you want to reschedule with Andrew, be
here on time, and we can see if we can
reado it at that point. So that's what ended up happening.
And after all that, she was great. So this is
a tease for next week now because Crystal was actually
(25:36):
really awesome. She had a lot of interesting things to say.
She was pretty honest about some things that you might
want to know about the housewives, and yeah, she's beautiful
and she's fun and I'm here for it. I felt
bad for a second because Andrew looked as though he
shit his pants. He deserves his pants, But I also
thought these are teaching moments, Andrew. I hope now you
(25:59):
know when I say I'm not waiting, i am not waiting,
and now the door. I also think these are some
of the things that maybe people say that I'm difficult,
but I don't think it was my fault. No text
us now or actually call us. No, you can't do
any of those things.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
I'm sorry. No talkbacks.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
Do a talkback the little microphone thing on the app,
you could do a talkback. You could dm us, you
could leave a review, but I guess in reviews you're
not really going to like respond to this one specific episode.
That would be kind of funny, but don't do it. Also,
you know what I want talkbacks about. I would like
to start doing. You know, we used to do the
Burn Book regularly, which I did just kind of burn
our next guest, but I like her, so it's not
(26:38):
a burn. Just facts, just the facts man, of what happened.
I would love it if people left us talkbacks about
what they would like to be a regular segment. Oh cool,
because I think those could be fun. And I would
love to do something that was, like, you know, mildly consistent.
Not my strong suit.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
It's just chaos, and I'll every second of it.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
It is I. I diamond, am neurodivergent. I have ADHD.
I'm surprised by that at all. Wait, I thought it
was just a very well known fact that I had ADHD.
I thought I really just accepted that.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
Knew that. Oh I didn't know that, but it makes
a lot of sense. Oh does it same? No, I
know I'm on the spectrum.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
I have no doubt. I think everybody is. That's why
it's the spectrum. Even if you're at the very beginning
or the very end, you're selling the spectrum somewhere right.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
Yeah, either way, I think to start talking about that more.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
Yeah. What I won't do is medicate it.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
So ha haa.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
Everybody, you get what you get? Oh stop, I will
never I've never taken medicine for it. I'm not going to.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
Were you offered adderall?
Speaker 1 (27:38):
Oh my god, my god.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
Bring it in.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
I'm not a drug dealer case.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
Sorry Oh yeah no.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
By the way, fun fact, when you travel to Mexico,
they are pharmacies. You can get so many things over
the counter there that you can't get here.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
I saw into Loom. Did you go to the Little
I didn't do this, but like you know, I went
into I don't know if it was me or one
of my cousins. Someone had cramps and they were really bad,
and we went in and I'm almost positive that someone
was offered like percocet and yeah, I had.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
Now they have viking in percoset, xanax adderall met foreman
for like diabetics, all these things that you need prescriptions
for here. But the problem is apparently depending on the
pharmacy you go to, you need to go to a
licensed pharmacy, because there are all kinds of like tourist
pharmacies where some of those pills could be pressed with
fentanyl as well, so you have to be very careful.
I am not recommending this to anyone. I was just
very surprised that you can buy so many things over
(28:29):
the counter. I don't think anyone's putting fentanyl in your foreman.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
If you never known these days are they're losing it.
These aren't the drug dealers of in the eighties and nineties, babes.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
You weren't even alive in the eighties nor buying drugs.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
Well, I heard a lot about it.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
You know, they had the purest stuff back in my day,
you know. All right, So like, subscribe, follow, please send
us a talkback, you can review us, give us your
star rating whatever, Diamond if they want to find you
on Instagram, where they find you.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
At Diamond sincere on Instagram and on x I mean
on Twitter at diamond sincere with an underscore at the Okay,
I am at Baby Hot Sauce on Twitter and Instagram,
and that's it.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
I'm really nowhere else. I have a TikTok account. All
I do is lurk. I don't post anything. Maybe someday
you should. Maybe when it's on its way out, I'll
join the party. Seems to be my forte in life.
All right, thanks for listening to our raving lunacy.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
I think is a political rant.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
Our political rant.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
Yeah, Eric Adams, your own my list?
Speaker 1 (29:30):
Actually, no, watch out man. She does not have a list,
and she's not with it.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
For all of us who can't say things like that
anymore
Speaker 1 (29:36):
Dan Luigi, all right, say bye bye,
