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.

You talking to me? Kayak, got that right. All right, fellow, South Park is back. The second episode of season 27, once again, goes hard at Donald Trump, the Trump administration, and the MAGA mouthpieces. I love it and John have not seen the episode yet. I don't think they've even seen clips. So we're going to play some selections for them, and then we'll discuss. This episode, South Park creators, Tway Parker and Matt Stone bring in Vice President J.D. Vance, Secretary of Homeland Security, Christy Noem and T.U.S.A. founder and Mago Propagandist Charlie Kirk.

And remember, in episode one, Donald Trump is in a sexual relationship with Satan. I don't know if they're exclusive. Then there's a very graphic, extended joke about Trump having a teeny tiny penis. So, speaking of micropenuses, here's J.D. Vance. Hey, so, Dan. Meet the new face of Homeland Security. Whoa. Oh, my God.

I just want to go. This place is gross. Would you like me to apply the baby oil to say that all terrible? Okay, look, I think there's been a misunderstanding. I'm going to take a little break here. Hey, come on. Relax, yeah. Okay, so they're...

Who was the new phase of Homeland Security there? I'll explain. So in case you had trouble hearing that, J.D. Vand says, would you like me to apply the baby oil to Satan's asshole boss? That I heard. Vance's depiction is an homage to tattoo from Fantasy Island. You guys have probably heard the characters say Deplane deplane. I've never watched that show.

Have you watched that show? No, I've never... No. I've never heard of fantasy... Yeah, and that doesn't speak well for it. No. No, there's some problematic backstory. Okay.

unpack what we saw there. Mr. Mackey has been fired from his job as school counselor thanks to federal budget cuts. So he joins ICE because they pay well and are willing to take literally anyone as he keeps repeating. I'm just trying to get my nut. So Mr. Mackey gets flown down to Maralago because

Trump has soured on Christie Gnome for reasons we'll explain in a bit. But here's South Park's introduction of Christie Gnome to the episode in a new ICE employee's training video. Welcome to the team recruit. I'm Christine Noam head of Homeland Security Well she seems nice okay very pretty

A few years ago I had to put my puppy down by shooting it in the face because sometimes doing what's important means doing what's hard Now we'll ask the same determination of you because detaining and questioning people is never easy face of Homeland Security I'll be leading the way make sure everyone is in this country legally. So let's get out there and get them recruits. Together we can make it happen. Do you guys want to join ice? It's not the funniest part, but her in the tub also sort of drunk at the end.

Yeah, she's getting looser and looser, and then they've got to put her face back on. Yeah, yeah. So there's two running jokes here. I'm sure you notice the first of the story of Christy Noem, murdering her dog Cricket, bragging about it in her book. And the second is Nome's face melting. And having to be reattached by her employees. Wow.

That was perfect. They go hard. I mean, look, I think anyone who's seen pictures of Christy Knoem a decade or two ago and now realizes that it's an entirely different person, but boy, do they go there. Yeah. Yeah. And I don't know if we're allowed to talk about it. I don't either.

I think we can. I can't tell. I think we can. She's a fucking monster. She is a monster. Right. Sure. We can.

Oh, okay. Yeah, she can. She's running a fucking horrible system. It is funny that we don't hesitate to talk about. about the teeny tiny penis runner with Trump and the genome thing makes me go. Yeah, let's not be, let's not be gendered here. Right, that's right. Okay. Right. Right. And also like... We're going to talk about the appearance of men and women that we don't like. That's right.

And there is something about the way, the direction of her face that does speak to something about MAGA. It is a MAGA face. Yes, it is a MAGA face. Okay, so later on the episode, there's an anti-ice protest. A protester says, like being talking to the local news and says, look, they are targeting good, deeply faithful people who just care about their family. I guarantee you there are Latino people in heaven. Cut two. Come on. Come on. It's so stupid.

Remember, only detain the brown ones. If it's brown, it goes down. Oh, my God. It's brown. It goes down. Oh, my God. That is brilliant. The heaven bit is brilliant.

What a stupid time. I love it. So remember the context here is Paramount. Just cut 1.5. billion dollar deal with Stone and Parker 50 new episodes of South Park and the rights to stream every season on Paramount on CBS. They just had a lawsuit with Donald Trump. They agreed to trade Trump $16 million.

Paramount's going to provide some additional $20 million in advertising and PSAs and stuff. And so the first episode came out where they did the teeny tiny penis bit before Paramount's attempt to do a corporate merger had closed. Yeah, now they don't fucking care. I don't care. Nevertheless, it's so funny. They cancel Colbert and then they're like, we're going to get. gave $1.5 billion to these guys.

And it's like, we're going to fuck this. We're going to make your lives miserable. Absolutely miserable. And we learned from the first episode, the White House was watching, and they were quite angry about it. Okay, so actual spoiler here. So the reason Trump wants to replace Christy Noem as the head of DHS with Mr. Mackie is because her face keeps falling off and then running away and scaring customers

at Mar-a-Lago. Oh, my gosh. There you go. Also, they got a little Jeffrey Epson reference in there. You've got to do it. Let me see if you guys can catch it because it's quite subtle. Okay. Oh, excuse me.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Was that Dora the Explorer doing one of the massages? Yeah, for Epstein? Yeah. Was that Epstein? Or just an old guy? So Dora the Explorer is at Mar-a-Lago,

giving either Jeffrey Epstein or an Epstein-like figure a massage because she was captured during an ice rate at a Dora the Explorer live event earlier in the episode. I just want to say I'm really proud of you for your Boston accent coming out on both of those doors of the Explorer. I think it is. I don't know if you technically refer to her as an explorer. Isn't she an Explorer? I think that's right. Is Dora the Explorer?

Yeah, it is very Boston. Man, we come a long way from Drumpf. At the Dora live show, Christy Noem does open fire when she sees a service dog. I mean, as she should. You got to keep that bit going. Yeah. Wow. They're really.

What kind of lawyers? that they have. They got cool lawyers. Well, if it's parody, right, you can do anything. I guess so. That's how they're good. Yeah, for sure. Cool. And honestly, the people who have done this merger and now have this, they're probably like, honestly, we're going to get our money's worth now. This is very popular. The clips are going to go viral. Maybe this is going to make making fun of Trump profitable again.

Yeah, it seems like it already has, right? They're, it's incredibly high ratings. If the end of the republic cannot move these media companies, perhaps profit motive can. Yeah. The bottom, the bottom. dollar as it were. Oh, it's so good. Okay, so you guys saw Clyde there briefly at the end. He's out of Mar-a-Lago, I guess, because Trump likes him now. Cartman is furious with Clyde, because Clyde started a podcast, and he's stolen Cartman's

schick. Let's watch. Here's a clip of the podcast. Hello and welcome to the Clyde, gentlemen, podcast. Welcome to the channel of truth, guys. You can't trust Jews. White people are the underprivileged, and women below.

long at home. I'd like to welcome our first guest to the debate, Eric Cartman. What the hell do you think you're doing, Clyde? We're here speaking the truth about the Jews of the other privileged white class. That's my stick. Knock it off, Claude. You stole my idea. I don't know about stealing ideas, but I do know about some amazing supplement powders that are an absolute steel. Sublimant powder. Your man's supplement powder can really help you bulk up and get the... Are you f***ing serious? People are sponsoring you for ripping knee off. And it's just the best way to get ripped quick. So be sure to get some. And also be sure to hashtag respect Clyde's phone. It's getting a little close to the bone, guys. It's getting injuring ever closer.

Yeah. One of my favorite kind of like themes of this season is Cartman trying to deal with like a post-woke Mago world where he has no one to troll anymore. Because remember, NPR got canceled in the first one. Woke is dead. So he just doesn't know who he is anymore. That is a great.

It's very smart. It's very smart. There's, yeah, there was something like, I know that everyone was focused on the fact that like they showed Trump's tiny little penis in that ad. But there was something about like Trump's body and like watching Trump crawl through the desert that was like so vicious. Right? Because so much of like their thing is about like we're strong and we're tough.

But then he's just this old man crawling alone and sad and, you know, ungainly. It's so good. Cartman later gets addicted to master debating. You guys can see where that joke goes. His mom keeps busting him master debating with girls online. Sure. He's like, I keep owning these woke college girls, mom. There's a Jubilee joke there. Yep. Yep.

Yeah, they're online, these guys. They're so online. Train matter online. Cartman attends the third annual Charlie Kirk Award for Master Debaters, which is quite great. They kind of have Cartman. So they have Cartman doing a Charlie Kirk-style campus debate where he's like totally destroying woke liberals. And they slowly, like, they evolve his character to look like Charlie Kirk. Oh, because I had heard Charlie Kirk was supposed to be in this one. So not really, but to your point about how online they are, like all of a sudden you can tell that he just has the Charlie Kirk weird hairline. And this girl randomly goes, that's the stupidest haircut I've ever seen.

Nice. Because Charlie Kirk has, like, replaced his Twitter picture with, like, the version of him on South Park. Right. They feel like they're, they kind of have two. Because J.D. Vance did what I thought was like the right kind of response. He was like, I finally made it. You know, like, kind of like, we're cool. We can handle it.

And then at some point Trump is like, I will burn this building to the ground. Yeah, exactly. Also, South Park, I think, has been tweeting pretty aggressively. Ice tweeted a photo of, like, one of the images of the ice raid in South Park, and they tweeted like join. Ice.gov. And South Park quote tweeted it saying, wait, so we are relevant. hashtag eat a bag of dicks.

So it's clear where they land. It's good. It's really good. Keep them on their toes, you know? I'm so happy this is back. Like, just go there for every joke. Parity is, is it what we're missing? This is on my list of thinking.

Because I still have to watch the first episode all the way through. So I got to watch both of those. Hard comedy's back. South Park's back. Naked Gun is good. Have you seen it? It's awesome. It's awesome.

It's so funny. I wish I didn't, I could go to a movie theater. Is it in theaters? It's in theaters right now. In home, too? I don't know if it's at home yet. Go see it in the theater with people. I grew up, like, the Zucker brothers, those movies were like kind of the defining comedy of my childhood.

Like, I'd watch it with my dad. And then you'd like go to the V8, you know, BHS store, get one, watch it with your friends, things you shouldn't see. I watched Naked Gun 2.5 so many times, so many times. You see Naked Gun, you see South Park, and you realize, like, wow, these like 30-minute drama D's that are winning in the comedy category, that's the methadone for the hard, crack cocaine, 90s-style jokes. Yeah.

If you ever want to go real deep, go out to check a Kentucky Fried movie. It was like an early, early Zucker Brothers one that's way. I remember that. wildly inappropriate, wildly inappropriate. But I don't remember any of the wildly inappropriate jokes, and nor did I laugh at them years and years ago. Trump became president. We can finally laugh again.
