Starting point is 00:00:00 Kayak gets my flight, hotel, and rental car right, so I can tune out travel advice that's just plain wrong. Bro, Skycoin, way better than points. Never fly during a Scorpio full moon. Just tell the manager you'll sue. Instant room upgrade. Stop taking bad travel advice. Start comparing hundreds of sites with kayak and get your trip right. Bad advice.
Starting point is 00:00:24 You talking to me? Kayak, got that right. Fellas, South Park is back. Donald Trump's teeny tiny penis is once again critical to the plot. Yes. Also mocked in the third episode of Season 27 of South Park are groveling tech CEOs, Chad GPT, and Trump's military occupation of Washington, D.C. And then J.D. Vance makes an appearance.
Starting point is 00:00:46 Oh, love this. Per usual. Love it has not seen the episode? Nope. Favre has not seen the episode? Nope. So they will be reacting to these clips for the first time. Let's start by watching Donald Trump's first appearance in this episode as he greets
Starting point is 00:00:58 visitors in the Oval Office. Mr. President, your ideas for the tech industry are so innovative and you definitely do not have a small penis. Ah, thank you. Please accept this gift on behalf of Apple. Next. Mr. President, your idea is incredible. You do not have smart penis.
Starting point is 00:01:33 Look at what some dipshit tech CEO gave me. I was thinking maybe we could try to shove it up your ass. Okay, so I think this happened when I was out. Love it. Why did Apple CEO, Tim Cook, give Trump a 24-carat gift of some sort? I missed all this. I assume it's because he's trying, it was because he's trying to evade the tariffs on the iPhones that are made in China.
Starting point is 00:01:55 And so there was some sort of 24-carat gold gift. I think it came along with the promise that Apple was going to invest like $5 trillion or whatever made-up numbers they're all making up because no one's ever actually going to follow through on it. And they're just like, yes, we will give the United States. States, half of our GDP. Just don't tariff us. Yes. So right. So Tim Cook can make, he just need to make a promise that they're going to make iPhones in America at some point. And that was to try to get out of tariffs. But it didn't happen, right? I don't think it. I mean, it didn't happen in the first term when
Starting point is 00:02:23 he tried to say he said he was going to build Foxcon or whatever. But no one, no one thinks it's weird anymore. They're just handing 24-car gold to the president of the United States. And you know what? Tim Cook had to stand there. That was when they were getting all the Epstein questions. And so Tim Cook ended up having to stand there between J.D. Vance and Donald Trump as they were, you know, going on about Epstein and I think Bill Clinton comes up in that meeting. And Tim Cook is fucking standing there and he should. I hope he fucking supper is standing there. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:02:48 That's so good. Okay. Let me walk you guys through a little bit of plot of this episode. So Randy Marsh starts a marijuana farm, but it gets rated by ice and they take all of his employees. So he turns to chat GPT for business advice for how to pivot. Randy's only remaining employee is Towley, who longtime South Park fans know is a sentient towel who just smokes weed all day. Sure.
Starting point is 00:03:09 Talley is also using chat GPT in this episode for some reason, but Randy decides they need to up their game by microdosing ketamine. Here is the new business plan they come up with after taking ketamine. When we started, we were just a farm. But then we asked ourselves a simple question. What if marijuana could be more than marijuana? By harnessing AI, we've transformed from a quaint farm into a platform for innovation. Introducing techrity. No longer a marijuana farm.
Starting point is 00:03:39 We are now an AI-powered marijuana platform for global solutions. Our AI platform transforms insights from the cannabis ecosystem into global action. And just like any tech company, we are expanding our minds by microdosing ketamine. We reimagine supply chain resilience. Design new pathways for the global infrastructure. And we're able to do it all with just one Mexican. At the intersection of nature and tech. We see more than plants.
Starting point is 00:04:11 We see a connected world. Healed by intelligence and nurtured by, oh, I'm in a hole. I'm in a hole. Can I just say that I don't know if it was inspired by this or not, but this is not unlike J.D. Vance's answer in the All-In podcast when he was most recently interviewed at their AI summit. And his whole thing was he was like, well, here's the thing about immigration. because they're like, aren't you worry that you're, you're,
Starting point is 00:04:42 grabbing all these farmers and farm workers and no one else is going to do it. He's like, well, my favorite solution to that is, he's like, we're going to automate. And so with AI, we can automate a lot of farm stuff.
Starting point is 00:04:53 And then we won't need the undocumented immigrants or real workers. And I was like, that is so fucking dystopian, but that's basically what that was. Right. Man,
Starting point is 00:05:03 the migratosing of ketamine, like, okay, we're doing mushrooms a little bit. I can see my way to the other side of that. Ketamine is a hard drug. It causes incontinence. Yeah. AI powered marijuana platform for global solutions is so funny.
Starting point is 00:05:19 It's so perfect. And it's a very light parody because I'm sure we could find an actual company that basically has that tagline. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So chat GPT tells Stan and Talley that marijuana is not legal in every state. They're very surprised to learn this. So they decide they need to dispatch Talley to Washington.
Starting point is 00:05:38 to lobby the White House to change the law. Here's Tauley's arrival in Washington. I look up to date. I know. It's a teeny tiny penis. Donald Trump has put his head on the Lincoln Memorial. Do you guys notice anything fun about the statues? Just a lot of tiny penises.
Starting point is 00:06:36 A lot of tiny penises. A little thing, tiny penises. Tint, thin, tiny penises. It's like, I don't know how they're doing. I guess they make it really quickly. Yeah, it's like, they make it. in six days. There's a documentary called six days to air about how they literally just from
Starting point is 00:06:54 beginning to end, sketch the thing and make it in six days. I mean, Union Station especially because that was... In the last three days. Yeah? I mean, they just had one little scene. I'm sure they had the whole DC thing with the military and then they threw in Union Station, but it's amazing. Tini-tiny penis. Do we think Donald Trump's
Starting point is 00:07:10 going to respond at some point? Do you think anyone's going to tell him this? I mean, it's easy to hide this from him, I think. I don't think he's going to happen upon it on Fox, but I would like to know what he's thinking about it. It's funny because this is like it's so bad for him. It's hard for him to respond to right? Like it's actually like what's he going to say. He already said what he said about
Starting point is 00:07:29 it and it's just they're just going back at him for having a tiny little penis. It's so good. I feel like the Newsom press office account should start Oh yeah. Oh for sure. That's a great idea. Yeah. For sure. You guys if you're listening Russia. The hard thing about South Park is like you go at them and they go back at you twice as hard. Like people were criticizing them for making front of Christy Nolm's appearance so they changed their Twitter photo. her face melting off. And then like she changed her Twitter photo to her face not melting off.
Starting point is 00:07:55 Yeah. They're trying to pretend they're cool. It's, uh, it's, it's funny because like that's very, like, they're, they're not, they have fuck you money, you know?
Starting point is 00:08:04 And the Paramount deal's closed. So what are they going to do? It's so good. It's great. $1.5 billion. $1.5 billion. Oh, it's so amazing. Okay.
Starting point is 00:08:11 So Talley lands a meeting at the White House where he gets to actually pitch Trump on this idea. Here's how it goes. All right. Everyone here. to meet with the president, please make sure you have a reservation and that you have your gifts ready. As a reminder, please stay five feet away from the president at all times and avoid staring directly into his penis. Oh, gosh, the president, sir. I'm listening. Oh, yes, sir. Well, you've done such a great job with our country.
Starting point is 00:08:44 You're so smart and your ideas are great and you do not have a... Hey, yeah. Listen, buddy, I don't have all day. Did you bring me a gift or not? Oh, yes, sir. This is from the CEO of our company. Let's see here. Oh, I think he said it opens this way.
Starting point is 00:09:06 Greetings, Mr. President. Uh-huh. Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Randy Marsh from TechRity Solutions. In order for a company to make $6 billion, we need you to reclassify marijuana on the national level. With your wisdom, I'm sure that we can work out an arrangement that will be mutually beneficial. In return for your understanding, I wish to offer you a gift, this incredible towel.
Starting point is 00:09:35 Say what? The capturing of the way all these leads, that's what the foreign leader, they have to come in and say you're so handsome and you're so brave and you're so good. The grovelling, it's so pathetic. I love the way they turn trumpet to Java the hut there. You catch that. He's like, ho, ha, ha, ha. The Trump is great. Like, having that, that voice instead of, like, a Trump oppression is so funny.
Starting point is 00:09:58 Oh, it's so good. And we cut it down a little bit, but Stan goes into a K-hole. That's how the video is. Just the constant, the constant sniffing is pretty good. I thought it was a, it's a nasal thing now. Yeah, I hear they have a spray, too. Yeah. The thing that's also crazy about all this, too, is like, this stuff is still illegal.
Starting point is 00:10:14 Yeah. It's still a federal crime. Marijuana is, too. Yeah, I can't believe Elon Musk has not been in the show yet. Okay, final scene. So in this final part of the show, we'll just put it. We get to see J.D.
Starting point is 00:10:26 Vance again. Okay. So here's, here's JD. Sort of a sitcom. Yeah, yeah. You want to talk or you want to watch a show together.
Starting point is 00:10:44 Okay, you want to talk and watch a show together while we f***. If you have to have sex with yourself again, I can bring you a crap. Oh my God. So is he doing like a, it's the plane, the plane boss thing.
Starting point is 00:11:05 Yeah. The tattoo from Fasd. And they've got a little bit of a, like, a fatter J.D. Vance's face. They've done that. They've done, they put them on the meme path, which is great. Which is great. Yeah. For those who were, couldn't tell, uh, J.D. Vance offered to get, uh, President
Starting point is 00:11:20 Trump a comrade. Yeah. That was what we got. That's what we got, which is, which is essentially his role. Yeah. It's funny how much of South Park now is just about, like, reminding everybody that Trump has a physical body. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:33 That, like, his physical body is very important to them and, like, kind of take him down a peg because of his physical, the corpus he's running. It's been heading towards this way, though, but this episode is the best at, like, it's, it doesn't really make fun of Trump that much other than the tiny penis. It's, it is the groveling of all the people around them, which is just great. All the enablers. I also just, I love that Satan is just very emotional. He's just like, I just want to talk. It's also like, oh, more people will see this than the news this week.
Starting point is 00:12:01 Oh, yeah, millions more. Nobody's watching the news anymore. No, watching that. Watching that. And again, for those who haven't seen the original South Park movie, bigger, longer, and uncut, the Trump voice there is the Saddam Hussein voice. And Saddam Hussein in that movie is also dating Satan. So the whole thing is just comparing Trump to Saddam Hussein. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:20 No, right. I don't remember. I don't remember. Now that you say that, I remember that I don't remember the movie. I remember Team America World Police. Another great movie. That was great. The, I don't want to do the whole speech, but the dick's fuck pussy.
Starting point is 00:12:33 Oh, it's the best one. It's the best one. It's, I like, though, like, it's like, they can't claim this is anti-woke. They can't do it. Like, Gavin Newsom's out there saying we've got to get rid of the cracker barrel, new logo. It's like, the cracker barrel thing. What are we even talking about? What are they mad about the logo?
Starting point is 00:12:50 They're mad about the logo. They're mad about the, they've changed the inside of the restaurant so that there are more windows and it's more spacious. And so they're mad about that. They got rid of the 90s, they got rid of the thing that they thought was original, was really the nostalgia that Cracker Barrel had when it opened. Cracker Barrel was doing nostalgia for an early era the way like Fridays was. But people that have now been going to it for 50 years think that it's from when the Cracker Barrel's from.
Starting point is 00:13:18 The restaurant's not from the barrel era. They were nostalgic for the barrel when they started with the barrel. That's so stupid. My only point of this is like, you can get mad about rebrands all you want. It doesn't mean that the rebrand is the fault of being woke. No, it's not woke. It's not DI. It's not woke or not any.
Starting point is 00:13:34 Why is everything have to be woke or not woke? It's just, you could just have a bad rebrand. Well, yeah, like, we can all collectively hate it because, like, a lot of companies are doing that.
Starting point is 00:13:42 I just like, I love Donald Trump Jr. pretending that he went to Cracker Barrel. Like, you grew up in Manhattan. I don't you think you've ever been to a cracker? I know. Also, Crackabill is bad. Rebrands.
Starting point is 00:13:51 It's bad. It's been so long since I went, but I can't remember. I remember thinking, I used to love anything with a buffet. I'll, listen, I've eaten my way across the American South. Hometown buffet?
Starting point is 00:14:00 Remember hometown buffet we had in Massachusetts? Sizzler, Bob's Big Boy. I mean my way everywhere. Cracker Barrel is bad. It's not because it's woke. It's not because of DEI that it's bad. No.
Starting point is 00:14:13 Well, now it's woke. It wasn't woke before, I guess. It is a bad rebrand. And they should put up the weird shit on the walls. T.J. Fridays was better when there were license plates on the walls. I agree with that. I like that. I agree that, too.
Starting point is 00:14:23 Next week, Sydney, Sweenie will be there filming something. We're going to talk about that. Oh, that's true. Megan Kelly will do a seven-part series on Cracker Barrel. Yeah. You see there's a New York Times column by Amy Klobuchar, and the headline was, what I didn't say about Sydney Sweeney. I haven't clicked on yet because I refuse to.
Starting point is 00:14:40 This is my self-discipline. I'm like, I don't know, or is it fake? What I didn't say about it? What I didn't say about Sydney. I don't even want to know what it is. I was like, is it an AI thing? Was she like deep faked about Sydney Sweeney? Is she just trying to horn in on the...
Starting point is 00:14:53 If you have one column that's what I did say about Sydney Sweeney, and one column that says what I didn't say about Sydney Sweeney, It contains all human knowledge. Okay, so I know what this is about, because the New York Post headline is, Klobuchar sets record straight. She never said Sidney's Hsuany had, quote, perfect titties. This was an AI fake video where Klobuchar apparently was commenting on Sydney Sweeney's press. And I think Elon Musk wouldn't take it down off of Twitter.
Starting point is 00:15:21 So now she has right now been in the Times about not saying that Sidney Swinney has nice titties? Yes, I haven't read it yet, but I think that's what's happening here. You know it would have gone further if she had just retweeted that and said, like, I didn't say this, but she does. And then that would have been it. Then she would have been, she would have been in the frontrunner like Gavin now. Yeah, I'm looking at it. That is what happened to.
Starting point is 00:15:38 This is how we do, this is how we do attention economy here. I like episodes where we're learning news in real time. We're learning about things. Yeah. How are we supposed to have a society? We're fucked. How are we supposed to do it? I think we're on our way out for sure.
Starting point is 00:15:50 I think we're done. That joke about the two columns is about an old Harvard, Harvard book that I can share. Which call? Doesn't matter. Doesn't matter. Just some people think I'm stealing a joke. I know where the joke is from.
Starting point is 00:15:58 One way people can help combat the forces of disinformation and right-wing goons is by subscribing to Potsave America here on YouTube. Does anyone want to make the announcement? We've hit a million subs. So Elijah Cohn is spared for now. If we don't hit 1.5 by the end of the year, Dunzo. And you are going to pay him a dollar for every subscriber over a million. Yeah, so I was thinking about that. So you guys made this plan while I was out.
Starting point is 00:16:23 Yeah, no, we did not. Yeah. Did not run it by me. I wonder, obviously I can't cut Elijah like a huge. check, like that probably wouldn't go over well internally. Well, go over well with him. There's some challenges with unions and commentations, specific things. Oh, yeah, put it on the fucking union.
Starting point is 00:16:37 Yeah, these guys. This fucking guy. But maybe I can make a donation to like the North Carolina Democratic Party. Oh. I'd be down to do that. You guys want to get in on it? Sure. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:16:46 Splitzies, three ways. Now, okay, yeah, great. There we go. What the fuck? Elijah writes some copy in. I read it like Ron Burgundy. Now I'm writing checks of North Carolina. Democrats? Subscribe to Pazza America here on YouTube. Make us pay. We'll give a bunch of money
Starting point is 00:17:03 the North Carolina Democratic Party because there's some big races coming up and it's a key state and I don't know. We care. We do care. We do care. We do care. That's the message of this. Hey. That's the message of this YouTube from Trump's teeny tiny penis ketamine to here. Yeah. K-Hole. Bye everyone. Great. Hey guys, Tommy Vitor.
