I'm not a good guy. Hello friends, it's Monday, October 2nd, 2024. Chapa who is back. It's me Felix and Chris joining you today, but do not be afraid. Joining us, filling in the third Mike spot, is the lovely Catherine Quarigger. Hello, thanks for having me. Catherine of course came out here with me. Remember the chop of family. I'm going to be glad you're with us. Your Catherine has spent just about as much time as anyone of this week taking care of Matt in the hospital. So we're all very thankful to you and for filling in for today. The pleasure is all mine.

you and for filling in for today. The pleasure is all mine. So first and foremost on today's show, I think the question on everyone's mind is how is Matt doing? Catherine and I flew out here Thursday morning and it would have been here ever since then and like all of us have been doing shifts with him at the hospital. And what I can tell you to start out the show is that although Matt is still in the hospital, we are very pleased to report that he is out of the ICU. And obviously, I'm incapable of speculating on his recovery or offering any medical

judgments surprising as that may be. I can tell you just from my own perspective and the times I spent with him over this past week, he has improved every time I've seen him and probably the most reassuring thing I can say that like in terms of lifting my spirits to pass along to you, is that Matt very much is himself and has his sense of humor.

We were just in the hospital with him yesterday and he was absolutely cracking us all up. And finally, and also I will share it like a bit of truly the unalloyed good news to come out of this week is that Matt's daughter was born last Tuesday. Less Sunday. Less Sunday. Oh, sorry. Matt's daughter was born last Sunday. Losing track of the day. It's yeah, it's been a long week. Matt's daughter was born last Sunday. Matt has met his daughter and it lifts the despair it's immensely and I'm just so happy to report that both mother and child are doing great

This has been It immensely difficult. There's been a really tough week obviously for all of us, but it's also been a very beautiful week in terms of just like the love and support everyone has experienced and demonstrated and Just and also to welcome Matt's beautiful daughter among us now. So. Choppo baby. Yeah, the Choppo baby is here. And just as another aside, I would like to acknowledge

the truly amazing outpouring of love and support from Matt from all quarters. It really helped just didn't know like just how much love is out there for for Mr. Christman. And also I should say as good as all of the love and support was, I truly have to say nothing has done more to lift my spirits and mats than the haters and the losers. You guys have done a man truly wonderful work this week.

And I gotta say, I would like to clarify some comments I made on the last episode in which I instructed people to, you know, like be kind and not weird about this. I just wanna make clear, I was speaking to our listeners and subscribers, and you've done wonderfully. To the haters and losers, please carry on

as you were, you're doing great work. Please don't let up. It's, it's been a balm to all of our weary souls. Do you see you hating and losing any, any, any riff you think, any dunk you think you've gotten off on Matt, I guarantee he has already dunked on himself in the exact same way and in a way that's way funnier than you could ever. So keep trying haters, equal waiters, the table. Yeah. If you are, if you are attacking him because like you think that Matt Christmas is

Jewish name, this is it. Like, honestly, this has been going on for a long time. People have decided, like seven years ago, people decided I wasn't Jewish. But you did a bad fusion dance and changed backgrounds. This is a fusion dance. It's not. But, um, okay, like if you hate Matt for that reason, he created a whole new white person with all access DNA.

So think about that. You hate Matt because he's racist. Well, he nearly took a white person out of this world. I keep barking. So like really, really, there's like nothing you can really attack him for. I mean, I, look, there's no logic in any of this, but I'm just, I'm just trying to bring like civility to all of this.

And I mean, I'm going say, it's been fascinating me, I'm fascinating to me over this last week of which like, honestly, and taking a week off from the show, there are, I mean, like the one benefit to us is that there are literally too many stories to talk about. Like, but the one thing I will say in light of the entire Canadian government, Zigg Hyling, and O'Waff and SS veteran.

Yeah. Because he's Ukrainian. Yeah. Is the fact that like to witness the haters and losers, I think we are truly seeing the real red, brown alliance in American culture between Nazi pedophiles and I guess liberals who are still mad about the 2016 election, but mostly the Ukraine has. Liberal hawks, yeah. Yeah.

It's the Ukraine war supporters that are like that were really coming hard for Matt. And I got to say, um, stay mad. Stay mad. Good, good luck. Um, I got, if you like, if you're the, uh, the planks of the Waffen SS calendar, we're sending you, I honestly like, a lot of things have happened this past week. We got writer strike ending. You know, auto workers going on strike. We've got Diane Feinstein dying.

We have Diane Feinstein dead. I still died on Matt's birthday, by the way. So I still don't think she should resign, honestly. We've got Bob Menendez doing. Being a gold brick or? Yeah, yeah. Doing corruption of the kind that we have not seen in ages, truly killing it out there. So much stuff to talk about, but I got to say, all of those

have been pushed out of my head by the intrusive thought courtesy of Felix Bederman and your AI sort of dolly. Every other news event and a match recovery has been pushed out of my head as I imagine Drake in Band of Brothers. Yeah, so I thought this is, I'm actually, I'm a lot like visionaries like Hideyoko-Jima or James Cameron because when I initially came up with this idea, the technology wasn't quite there. I was thinking of Drake in the episode of Band of Brothers Why We Fight. And I was thinking of him liberating the concentration camp. And he's going around and witnessing the horror. But because he's Drake, he's like, we need to get these people to the six.

These people need jackass. And like I tried it on Dolly like, you know, a year ago and it just like it fucked up Drake's face. It drew, honestly, a very offensive picture of Drake. But you know, Microsoft sucks, Windows 10 sucks, the Xbox series YX to type Y fucking whatever that bought, that people bought three copies of, terrible console that bricked, but the Bing AI tool did an amazing job with this prompt. You can't say Drake liberating doc out like they'll content block that, but if you like use sort of like filtered terms like the rapper Drake liberating World War Two black and white realistic prison camp, dramatic photo, it will depict exactly the

scene that I'd be good. And like that probably pretty stupid image that I would describe as like Drake pole vaulting over the electric fence and a Yeah. And that is how he would do it. Yeah. Like if he was an easy company. Yeah. And like he saw the concentration camp in like the corner of his eye, he would do like a back flip in QL. So he would be like, he, I mean, I've always wondered like if Drake was a man, brother,

Suzy, because someone has to go, right? Yeah. Like there's, there's too many characters. And it's like, well, I don't really think he can replace Nixon or Winters, but like Spears is a good character, but he's not like, he's not a big talker, but like Drake could do that role. Okay, Felix, when you started posting this, this was like a total accident. Like I had not told you about this,

but like basically, like I said, got here on Thursday, spend Thursday at the hospital. And then like for most of this week when I wasn't at the hospital, I just decided to rewatch Banda Brothers. I like, I was like, everyone's rewatching it. And still a great TV show. I mean, it felt appropriate this week,

but when you came up with the Drake and Band of Brothers and Drake as Spirits, I was like, I was trying to come up with like Drake and Band of Brothers. And the only thing I could think about was just like, the blood thing he on the team, but he's with Easy Company, or Drake as Spirits, and he lets of Nazi POWs wear his Ovo chain once before shooting them into his chest. And they're like, yes, don't go.

They put on the Ovo chain, then then then Malarkey just, you're as he runs away. So spears gave them all cigarettes before like getting them. He'd drink would give them one sixty-fourth of his annex each. Donka, I'm gonna talk to you. That would kill them. And he's just like, no, I'm Canadian. No, it really is great, Joe. It really is. Even without Drake being in it.

Somehow, somehow, are he making Sobo salute him at the end. He's a little bit of a rank, not the man. He's a little bit of a rank, not the six. Well, it would be like, he comes back, he when he leaves from training, he doesn't have a Louis belt, but when he comes back, he has one. And Sobo doesn't notice it,

but then Drake points to it, like indicating that he's caught a body during the war. And it's like he's saluting the belt. Yeah. Well, like I said, like I was being over World War II, I mean, the segues into, I think the best news story of last week was, which was Nazi gate. I mean, I gotta say, like it is, it surprises even me, like, and it shouldn't.

But the number of people that I've seen with Ukrainian flag and rainbow flag avatars in their display name, essentially make the argument that like, can you really call a volunteer to the Waffen SS, a Nazi? Really? Are you sure about SS a Nazi? Really? Are you sure about that?

Really? Really? And I don't know. I just think we're experiencing now an entirely liberal run project of people who all say Donald Trump and the frought proud boys are the third Reich to essentially rewrite the entire like a project of massive historical revisionism to like, if not claim that the Soviet Union and the Nazis were equivalent evils in World War II,

to basically say that the Nazis on the East of Front were a necessary evil. And I figured like, I'm sorry, once you've done that, like the game is up, like you are just a Nazi. And by way of that, I just like, I was worried that this would be, that this story would be like out of date by the time we got on Mike. But it's not courtesy of Politico,

who hasn't a opinion piece out today that is truly one of the most incredible things I've ever read in a mainstream publication, headline, fighting against the USR, doesn't, didn't necessarily make you a Nazi. And I'm nodding my head. Yeah, just a little bit of this. It says, everyone knows that a lie can make it halfway around the world before the truth

has even got its boots on. By the way, this is by Kiergeil's, is the author and commentator. His most recent book, Russia's War on Everything, looks at the effects that Russia's malign influence around the world. There are so many people, there are so many of that like we no longer send like the the discontinued t-shirts of the Super Bowl loser. We send all these books that are like, you know, Putin's red army and like Putin, the Stalin that was born again, all these Russia, all these Kremlin, all modern Kremlin, Kremlin

and all the cheap books to third world countries. That the new UN resolution that they passed for Haiti is probably sending 300 million of this guy's books over there. It's great for sales. He writes here, but essentially here, the thesis is, it's complicated. History is complicated. It's a lot more nuanced than like, yeah, yeah,

he volunteered for the Waffen-S-S and like, but as you're right here, in the case of Hunka, the mass outrage stems from his enlistment with one of the foreign legions of the Waffen-S-S, fighting Soviet forces on Germany's eastern front. And it's a demonstration of how when history is complicated, it can be a gift to propagandists to exploit the appeal of simplicity. This history is complicated because fighting against the USSR at the time didn't necessarily make you a Nazi. Stop. Like, yes, it did. That was World War Two. That's who we're fighting the Soviet Union in World War Two. There were two sides.

It's like you, like, you could, like, make that argument and be, like, technically correct in most other time periods actually. Like, there were rightist elements against us as are in Europe, like all throughout the Cold War, but like, you can, you know, successfully make the argument, well, you know, they weren't literally members of the Nazi part. They weren't part of the Vermacht, but this is beyond even being in the Vermacht. This is like, like, if someone put it out that this is like, this is leapfrogging past the clean vermouth thing. This is the clean assessment, which is like insane. This coming up on probably the most stoning sentence, I think I've read, again, from like a

liberal mainstream publication or a centrist, whatever you want to call it, this one froze me. He writes here, however, the idea that foreign volunteers and conscripts are being allocated to the Waffen SS rather than the Varemark on administrative rather than ideological grounds is a hard sell for audiences conditioned to believe the SS's primary task was genocide. I suppose I've just been conditioned to believe that they were sold bill of goods. Like what was their primary duty like morale. They were fundraising. They had sick fits. They were putting down partisan groups and Poland in the Eastern. Yeah. I like the distinction between administrative and ideological being like, no, I just admired the SS's efficiency. I just, I just like trains.

What was the secretary for the Nazi party? Yeah. Like, okay, like parts of the SS in Eastern Europe that were administratively placed in the SS were, like those were the groups that were so efficient that like, not like central command had to tell them to like slow down on killing so many Jews. Yeah, they could you chill out that they were that enthusiast. They were too enthusiastic for the Germans. It really administratively took up the cause. The Germans were like bad AI in a shitty co-op game. No, you're not leaving any targets for me.

And guess the next sentence is, in simple narratives, like everybody in the SS was guilty of war crimes. Oh my gosh. Is there a simpler to grasp? Look, even if like once again, you could make an incredibly pedantic argument that like, well, actually, not every Waffen SS member did a war crime. It's like, I don't give a shit, kill all of them anyway. It's like, there are certain things that are so bad. It's like, you put on the uniform, you're accountable. I don't give a shit.

And this fucking 94 year old mummy, that I mean, like, we were joking on earlier, like, does this guy have Alzheimer's and just think the Nazis won the war? Because I mean, at this point, you can make an argument that they did. Yeah. Like Canada is fucking fedding this guy. You're sitting at a blog.

Oh, yeah. A Canadian friend of the show. So like, you know, obviously, I feel like all the Nazis in America saved after World War II. At least we got like the space program out of that. Canada seemed just like they were just like here. Here's a house. Welcome to our government. Like, we took a lot of the German Nazis

and Canada got the guys who joined while the tour was already on the road. They got, they got, it's so weird how Ukrainian and Banderoloil is picked Canada. I don't know how that happened, but they love it there. It's their favorite fucking place in the world. There are more statues of Banderah in Canada than anywhere else in the world. It's insane. No, but yeah, our Canadian friend passed along to me this week that

Hongka, the Hong Kong, Hongka, Hongka, the Wabanesos guy had a blog. I mean, that's nice. That's impressive for me. For the old guy. Yeah, really. In one of the blog posts, he described the years of 1941 to 1943 as quote, the best of his life. Probably the only person on the planet. Who else was alive in Europe during those years?

Couldn't you say that? You're a certain friend of all of us. This wasn't the funnest time they've ever had. So like this got so far the entire defense that this article lays out is like, it's just a shittier version of like Ikeman's defense. Like well, well, like he didn't literally kill all of them. Like he didn't literally push people into the gas chamber with his own hands. Well, I mean, not technically a war criminal.

Well, actually, like, in this article, the thing that this guy hangs his hat on is like, actually, his unit of the Waffen SS was investigated, and it turns out they didn't do any war crimes. It's like, oh, well, in that case, standing up for him. But the intellectual exercise here is digging into the archives to absolve any part of the SS. Like at that point, this is how to arrange the Ukrainian, the Ukraine war has made liberals that they, they're in such a rush to like, you know,

back Ukraine and diss Russia that, you know, they're fucking, absolving sectors of the SS. Yeah. Like also most Ukrainians fought against Germany. Yeah. Like that's the most insulting thing. Like the fucking Nazis killed so many Ukrainians.

They killed more fucking Eastern, forgot Jewish people. They killed more Eastern, they killed more Eastern Europeans than like the black plague did. Knowing about history is over if you wanted. Yeah, and like we're experiencing like the, you know, and also you can mind this comes on the heels of Modi's government straight up clipping Sikh Canadian citizens in Canada. And the Canadian government being like, sorry, sorry.

Sorry, sorry, sorry. Thank you. I mean like we're really,, the rise of the new access. We're really seeing that now. And I remember last week, I saw that that Medi Hassan guy, like, smugly quote tweeting something to be like, I think we can all agree that we can support the more in Ukraine without just giving a standing o to a Nazi. And I'm like, can you?

Can you? I mean, it seems like you can't. If the old data seems to suggest that you can't. And I don't know. And then they were like, well, why did they have to give them a sentence? It's like, well, it does seem interesting that like the most sort of diehard partisans of promoting the continuation of this war. Like, oh, gee, why do they have to recast the entire history of World War II to make

the Nazis the good guys? It's like, why is that so important to them? Well, this is a propaganda project because like, did you see Justin Trudeau's kind of like, kind of like half apology. He was basically like, oh yeah, I didn't really have the notes in front of me to know and not to applaud this guy. But then he swirves into talking about Russian disinformation. And we also must stand against Russian disinformation and Russian propaganda.

Like, that's a part of this, or like, you know, basically recasting this as disinfermacia. The defense that they brought up, that there were, because there were like 700 people in that room. And every single one of them was like, oh, wow, I guess I literally didn't go to, like nobody in here, like Google disguised me.

Yeah, they're all so mad at the A.U.S. You mean like nobody can so mad at the A. Yeah, yeah. You mean like, Don't give me any buzzer. It's all in the notes. Well, every like every conservatives line has been like, I'm disgusted that I applauded for this guy. We have to fire like the parliamentarian for this. Even like, if you, if someone tells you like, this guy fought against Russia in World War II.

Yeah, like that's a pretty easy, pretty easy problem to solve. Like, would anybody fight for her? The conservative party is on the chair of some, of Canada's on the chair of some organization that's like Institute for the Study and Reck defying of Soviet of Russian history in World War II. I mean, I just, I'm sorry this didn't happen when we were in Canada, but Canada holy shit. What a, what a fucking L that you're in time. What a fucking joke.

Come get your boys. Jesus Christ. I'm like, so the modie thing, like it's already like awful that like they just really, they hit this guy in Canada just for like speech. But it's like no one's even mad at the idea of like India doing India stuff in Canada. Like if I was Canadian, I would be like, can you do India stuff in India?

Like it's, I would be embarrassed. It's like if somebody came to your house and like started homeschooling your kids. He'd be fucking insulted. Like fuck off. Obviously, it's extremely upsetting that this happened. The speaker has acknowledged his mistake and has apologized. But this is something that is deeply embarrassing to the parliament of Canada and by extension to all Canadians. Moving on from the massive elves Canada to the stake and let's let's turn our gaze to

our own country and something like and I got to talk about two of the best stories some last week starting with Bob Menendez, Mercedes Bob, fuck in, just gold bar Bob. So you're talking about this last week and like when this story broke, I was reminded that it was like six years ago, he was faced almost identical charges to this and was saved by a hung jury. That's what got him up in this and it's like, you think after that happened, I mean, like this is what, how cool it is to be a senator. Most normal people, you think you come that close to like federal corruption charges.

You're like, I gotta get out of the game. Menendez, he's like, nope. I want you to call the Egyptians, tell them that we back up. Right, I'm a little prick going on. Yet, like someone who like got a hungarian armed robbery would take longer to get back to that. It's like, and I was, so I, for the longest time,

I was under the impression that Menendez was like such a slick operator. I was like, wow, like this guy is, you know, he's obviously like a tool at the Israel lobby and he almost like cock-bucked the Iran deal and he probably got some like huge payoff out of that and like he's, he's gotten away with this for so long. He's probably got people on the inside in the DOJ.

He's like, he's never going away. And he's probably working through like 15 proxies and he can have plausible deniability. And no, it just, it turns out that he is doing it all himself in the style of like a weed dealer who barely breaks even. Yeah. Oh, weed dealer who sells weed just so we can get high for free. Like, some of the other things that he was sending to Egypt were like state secrets apparently. And then like, what was the emails between him and the Egyptian guy where I was like,

militarized, you know, you got military secrets and then it was like thumbs up emoji. Yeah, but that was my favorite thing is that like everything Menendez says is like there is no legal defense for it. Like he's literally saying, Hey, I'm willing, I am about to break U.S. law and act as a foreign agent and illegally sell you these arms and act as a conduit and receive a third party payoff that constitutes as a bribe. And it's nothing that can be sold by interpretation or anything like that. And the Egyptians always respond by just like, you know, thumbs up into text or like liking it. They like, he

is going out of his way and they're like, all right. I just, I just really, really like his explanation, which is that he has a collect, you know, keep gold bars at home. First of all, where do you even get gold bars? Basically because of like, you know, inherited generational trauma. And the genetic trauma from his experience in Cuba,

but then people pointed out that his family left Cuba before the Cuban revolution. So like, he's talking like Batista was taking gold bars from his family. I think it's able to, actually, to criticize Bob Menendez. Yeah, no, he has epigenetic trauma. Yeah. And like, that's why he has to have like hundreds of thousands of dollars of cash sealed in the floorboards of his house. Oh, but like, if you are expropriating well from somebody, don't you like want it to be in gold bars? Like Like that's way easier to me. Yeah, like if I am

Do with a gold bar. What do I do? Floor I don't know how to put in the bank account. How do you think fucking pirates meant it? Like go to a gold guy. It's fine. It's like I'd rather do that than like try to figure out his password Like okay, you kill him and then like cut off his thumb and use it on his MacBook. It's also way more secure than, you know, having an encrypto and then losing like the USB or something. And also he's too old to understand crypto. Gold bar, gold bar, Bob.

I mean, I guess like, there have been a lot of calls for his resignation, but honestly, once again, stick with it. I say, don't resign if your problem and end us. Who's who started, you know, Federman was the first one to start. Well, they were all screaming about his gym shorts. Oh, God, yeah. Let, let my man let it hang. Gotta let your nuts hang.

Um, and then move on from Menendez, we've got to say, all right, Pete, Diane, all right, Pete, I mean, like, I didn't see this one coming. This was a gut push. It's been a long way. Yeah, she had so many good years left. So many good years in leadership. She was a kid. Only the good, Diane.

I also like that fine, fine, fine, steam, voted. She was, she was, she was working up until the end. She voted like a couple hours before she died. It's like insane that like, you know, she was, she was one billion years old and like had probably been seen aisle or worse for like, I don't know, at least five years. Like she should have just been sitting in a mansion like, you know, enjoying her golden years such that they were like in San Francisco.

But no, she died in Washington, D.C. She died in the swamp. Yeah. She gave it a one of her many multi million dollar properties, but no, she wasn't fucking, yeah, in the swamp. Yeah. She gave it a one of her many multi-million dollar properties, but no, she wasn't fucking, yeah, in some brutal, barely, probably. Yeah, like her, her like senior aides are basically like the same people who were around Bruce Willis when he was making all those movies. You know, just like like, she had the earpieces.

The last thing she did before she died was probably meet with like a lobbying group. It's like, we represent, you know, food truck purveyors. We're like against some regulation that like prevents us from spewing fry oil on public schools. The soul is like leaving her body as somebody's like, if you could just really roll back some of these oil regulations. These regulations are smothering our small businesses. Like we smother our fries. And of course, you know, like obviously this week is, you know, uh, raise questions about like, is it okay to make fun of someone if they die or get very sick?

I think we're coming down pretty strongly on that. I think it's pretty clear where I stand on this issue. But my favorite reaction was just like, how dare you? Like her staffers are grieving right now. I bet they are. I bet they are. They're not going to get another job in the Senate for someone who is co-gent. Someone said, imagine saying this about grieving staffers.

And grieving staffers is just one of those phrases that burrows into your mind. Like a grieving staffer is the worst type of type of staffer to advocate. It's way worse than a thieving staffer. But yeah, I'm just imagining a whole office with wearing blacked out lanyards for the week. They're all wearing fails. Yes. But, I mean, her staffers, I'm sorry, they were the ones who killed her.

They were the ones that were like making her still be a senator. I mean, Chris Mollie, I would say old age killed her. Well, her own body killed her. Well, I mean, I don't know. She could have, like I said, she had a lot of good years off to there. And I blamed these staffers who, you know, Chris, we were watching Lord of the Rings the other night. Although, they grimoire warm tongues her.

Yes, they were all there. And like, she was just like, she had the veil and, you know, someone could, like, you know, a Gandalf-type figure could have like, you know, pulled, you know, pulled the veil back. Nancy Pelosi. And like, Nancy Pelosi could have like cast out Saurumon and then Diane would have gotten out of that wheel chair, taken off her glasses, taken out her hair, and she'd look like Margot Robbie. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha would have had me crawling on all fours like a beast. To be back.

She, well, to be fair, she never, ever looked like Mark or Robbie. She basically always just looked like Dan, finestein. It's finestein, right? I always say finestein, but I think it's finestein. Finestein?

Yeah. It rhymes. I'm just trying to respect the dead. Just the RIP, you know? And please try to be respectful. My favorite thing from her career is that she like almost blew the capture of Richard Ramirez. Yeah.

Like there's a ton of other like, like sort of, you know, bigger, bad things she did with more like global implications, but just as like a thing that an incompetent mayor would do, like the liberal mayor in a death wish movie. Yeah. Yeah. Like a a death wish movie. Yeah, like a dirty hairy movie.

Yeah. So yeah, Richard Menendez, the uh. Richard Menendez? What was Ramirez? Ramirez. You're mixing up the Menendez brothers or Bob Menendez. Richard Ramirez had like, he wore like a certain type

of like weird shoe. That was actually like, there was like one pair sold in Los Angeles. Yeah, yeah. Well, San Francisco. Oh, yeah. Sorry. He had a really unique shoe print. And like, the police had this information and they were using it to track him and fine-seen link went to the press when she was mayor. And it was like, yeah, actually, his shoes so unique that the police are using it to track him And so of course he instantly got like normal shoes

They thankfully they got him but it's like what the fuck are you doing? Yeah, they were like really close to capturing him and she blew it up I always love like whenever I visit L.A. I read the entire night stalker Wikipedia page There's some good stuff in there. I like the one of the women who got really into them. What of the one of his like prison lovers? Yeah. So he was going to get married to him.

And then when it turned out like through DNA testing, he like, you know, of course, he like killed like a nine year old. She's like, okay, wedding's off. He killed like a nine year old. She's like, okay, wedding's off. She killed 12 people. And he also killed like a whole bunch of elderly women, killed in rape, just like, oh, but the nine year old, that's a bridge too far. Well, you know, I guess it is, but the whole thing is a bridge too far.

Yeah. Good thing she snapped back to her senses. Moving on from the Democrats, I guess another non-event that happened last week was yet another Republican presidential debate, which is like, the news that come out of that is the Chris Christie saying, we're going to call you Donald Duck to Donald Trump. Oh, and absolutely. We're going to call you Donald Duck. Did you actually watch the full clip that ends up in that punchline?

No, it takes him like two and a half minutes to explain the setup to the joke. That's like, I know it's a good one. So, yeah. Okay. So you all understand that there is a debate currently happening right now. And there are nine people on stage. Well, one of the people who is not on stage is Donald Trump. And another word for not being at something is ducking the, it takes him so fucking long to get there. I can always tell that it's another, well, I'm sorry, like it's not going to be an entertain debate if Donald, Donald Trump is not there. And also, like, I can tell it's been boring because like, I don't see a single fire clip circulating

on Twitter the next day. The best clip I saw was truly like the worst, Ron DeSantis facial expression I've seen yet when he like, licks his lips like he's just like. He's like Donald Trump should be here. He's like, you could tell how shook he was trying to like go harder at Donald Trump and he has this awful like mouth moment. I don't know how to describe it other than a mouth moment, but that's my favorite. He'll see a real album.

It's like he, he like got too high and he's like, oh, do I still have a mouth? It's my mouth is are my gums dry. Or like he had cotton mouth or like a dry mouth from like taking too much Molly or something. Yeah, he was off a bane. My favorite moment from the debate, it wasn't actually like during the debate. It was how DeSantis got his makeup put on before the debate. For some reason, he had an applied while he was like perpendicular and six inches away from Nikki Haley. Oh, that's so nice. Yeah.

Yeah. That was so fucking weird. So normal. He's the most normal man. And I guess the other thing I like is that Nikki Haley's campaign announced that Donald Trump center a bird cage because he called there a bird brain. And I'm just thinking once again, like he's the king is back. He's still got it.

Another, another thing that I noticed this week that made me think like, oh, like Trump's going to be president again. He's back to Cadillac speculating on the relationship of pop stars and actors this time Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey. When he gives him give him a page six column. I want I want to read him on the celebrity couplings all the time. I was like, I wish them the best on their life together, maybe together, maybe not, probably not.

But it's funny, the Taylor Swift, Travis Kelsey relationship has become like a culture war touchstone because like other right wingers now hate Travis Kelsey because he's, he's soy and evil because he's endorsed Bud Light and the vaccine. And they're, they're also tweeting, are treating Taylor Swift like being shown or showing up at these football games, like the new like Colin Kaepernick, like Nealing moment. They're like, they're like, keep, keep your pop music away from my football. You know, like this is a no-politic space. Like Taylor Swift is inherently political or something.

Travis Kelsey is so, though. I could easily defeat him on the football grid Iyer or in mental combat. Did you see, he was a Trump clip that I did see, which was not from the debate, obviously. I also know he's back because he was talking about sharks again. Oh, the shark clip was great. And how he absolutely, what is he, he was like,

oh, he's telling some story about like reaching off a boat or something and like having to choose between a electric... He executed. And like death by shark. And it was like a weird meandering story, you know, like his brain is not good. But he was like, obviously I'm choosing an execution.

I'm like, he's using an electrocution every time. And then he opens it up to the crowd. He's like, right? We're all choosing electrocution. But if I'm sitting down and that boat's going down and I'm on top of a battery, I know water starts flooding in. I'm getting concerned.

But then I look 10 yards to my left and there's a shark over there. So I have a choice of electrocution or a shark. You know what I'm going to take? Electrocution. I will take electrocution every single time. Do we agree? I will take electrocution. He hates sharks.

He really hates sharks. Like, he is now on the shark week. My favorite thing he said about sharks was when Like, he is not what makes shark weak. Yeah. My favorite thing he said about sharks was when he, like he said he's not a fan of them a lot of times, but only one of those times he went, they'll be here long after we're gone. I mean, I'm not so sure about that at this point.

I'm not so sure about that. That was the one I was most curious about. Like, whether he meant them as like a successor species, or like what? But I mean, it's to give me the idea that if he is convicted on any of the felony charges, that like they need to make a special exception for him and execute him by shark. Like, you know, the bad guy in Thunderball, just like lower him into a shark tank and have them go to town on him. I did see this morning though

that Trump was in a New York City court about the civil fraud case, about the absurd overvaluation of all of his properties. Like the Mar-a-Lago property, which is like, a shitty golf course for her. I mean, we all saw the photos of that bathroom, the child size bathroom filled with boxes. It's like going to your divorce uncle's house.

Yeah. Is val, like it is a fraudulently valued at like worth being over a billion dollars for the Mar-a-Lago property. And he was in court today, and the funny thing is that this is not a jury trial. It's a bench trial. And then immediately after like his day in court,

he goes out and immediately dresses the media. And he was like, I'd like to personally insult the judge in this case. He's a bad guy and he's going to jail. One of his lawyers, actually the lawyer on his case who made sure that this was bench trial. Her laptop in court is a gaming laptop. It's a gaming PC, yeah.

It had like the glowing lights. Yeah, yeah. You have to go out of your way to find one of those. How is he just finding the colors at this point? Is she like a cooling tower below the table? It just like that laptop is about seven times heavier than any other laptop. And it's like, I don't know, like, I'm kind of curious like why she got it.

Like, there's some game that she loves. I know that she can't be without if she bought that because it's like probably twice as expensive as any other computer that you could, that like, if you're a lawyer, you don't need anything more than like a MacBook Air. Yeah, you don't even need a MacBook Pro. Yeah, you're just going court, like from courtroom to courtroom, you want like a light computer that can use like Google Docs.

Yeah. But apparently she just like loves Roblox so much. She can't be without it. She's like, okay, I'm defending the former president of the United States, but I think I can get in 25 minutes of the Sims before I go get into the room. She loves the Lego Harry Potter game.

You really do have to like, specifically search for that kind of laptop, because it, like gaming laptops do suck. It's like a shitty way to game. Like it just, it is one of those things where it's like, you know, like just do this at home. Yeah. Like at a steam deck, like who gives this shit? But I get like, yeah.

Do you think it's a custom build? You can't, well, maybe that's an ignorant question. You can't get a custom build of some gaming laptops by a company like Origin, like a company that makes like, you know, built to order pieces and laptops, but hers is like an ASIS, which is pre-built.

Maybe it's one of the terrible inappropriate gifts that Donald Trump gave her in lieu of actual payment. You know, he just like opened it back around. I that sounds really that sounds very accurate. We got some laptops later on. They they fell off the lorry. Yeah, I could see Donald Trump having some weird interaction with like what's that Hasidic? Electronics chain He has some weird interaction with being age that ends with him getting like 20 aces laptops and He's like I'm not gonna have to pay another lawyer for the rest of my life They're like yes, there are our fee is $700 an hour and he's like I'm'm not gonna have to pay another lawyer for the rest of my life. They're like, yes, our fee is $700 an hour.

And he's like, I'm gonna stop you right there. Look at this laptop. It's loaded up with all the, it's going, folks, there's a new game. It's got Pinocchio. It's Pinocchio. It's got lines of B. This judge, he's doing some line too.

So he's doing it. A lot of these puppets are not very nice. They look like Pinocchio though, but he XO is there. A lot of these puppets are not very nice. They look like Pinocchio though, but he ex-sou, is there? He accidentally hired Jewish electronic people as opposed to Jewish lawyers. Like the mix up with the Lauren Care plays. The four seasons, yeah.

Any guy Japanese lawyer says that? Yeah. Yeah Any guy Japanese lures Oh wait, did you see that a Trump swore for the first time? Yes, that was another way very very out of here. It's been I would say officially on one this week Yeah, but if you become president and you don't like somebody or if somebody's beating you by 10 15 or 20 points like we're doing with Crook a Joe Biden. Let's indict the motherfucker. Let's indict the motherfucker. No, that actually shocks me because that's the most

like, is he actually losing it? I've never heard him swear because like he doesn't trick. He doesn't even say damn or hell. He said, he said pussy in 26, Stan. That's true. Why is he like, no,. No, not grabbing by the pussy. I'm talking, like in a rally, he was talking about like Ted Cruz and like some woman yelled out, he's a pussy and he's like, I can't say that.

Should I say it? He's a pussy. It was like really, it was really weird to hear coming out of his mouth. It's like seeing your dad cry or You know what happened, but you're like And I also saw um this is a good clip this week Pete Buttigieg was on the Jen Sackie MSNBC show. It's like you know who the fuck is watching that Me people who couldn't get enough of a forpress briefing.

I forgot it existed until this moment. Like literally, not even the, even people who are super into like Ukraine and all of that are not watching that shit. No one is watching that. So, Buttigieg's came on like, you know, like, and all the things, this is my favorite thing. Out of all the things that you can hit Donald Trump on in his life of crime and cheating, this is what Buttigieg decided on. He said to Jen Sackie, quote,

this is a part of a lifelong pattern with the former president that I would argue was first displayed when he faked the disability in order to having to go to Vietnam. Oh, God. And allowed, I assume, some working class person to go in his place. Remember liberals like tried to that out

really thinking that would matter to his mega-trudd fans? and it didn't make a dent at all. No one cared. I mean, it's like it's exactly like his things with not paying taxes. You know where he's just like of course like you know, all these suckers pay tax. All these suckers pay tax. Why wouldn't I choose to get the lowest tax bill possibly? Why would I choose not to go to Vietnam? Yeah, why the fuck would I go to Vietnam? Like I I mean, yeah, sure, he cheated. And like, oh, yeah, a working class person took his place. But like, I gotta say, in terms of his cheating and frauds, this is like the most normal thing Donald Trump has ever done.

Well, and also to all of his fans, if they could have cheated their way out of Vietnam, they would have also. And as well, they should have. I mean, no one should have fucking gone to find Vietnam. Is this like 2002? Yeah.

Like, what the fuck, who cares? They're trying to like swiftboat him. They're like more living veterans of World War I than people who even remember Vietnam. It's way more than gives a shit. It's way weird for millennial people to just should be trying to draw up cheating up Vietnam. Vietnam draft dodging grievances

then for 80 year old Donald Trump who have tried to draft dodge Vietnam. Also, like, he doesn't have such a sterling record himself, you know, he just like working at it. He was in a kind of stand for like a month and a half special dispensation from being the mayor to so go to Afghanistan and like look at minerals for six days. Yeah, yeah, he like, so the few trips outside the wire, but he was mostly at a desk. Yeah, he did like a few trips outside the wire, but he was mostly at a desk. Yeah, he did like outward bound. The thing for troubled teens in the desert. Yeah. That's

what we should have been doing. Is that a sending like 80 year olds or 60 year olds, like members in the National Guard, we should have sent troubled teens. Well, to be fair, I think most of the Marine Corps are troubled. Yeah. Fair enough. Well, um, um, let me one, uh, I got a, this is a story about the, uh, the new, the, the new Cold War that's currently going on. And I'm talking of course about China, repossessing all of their pandas from American

zoos. Wait, they're doing that? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Cause like every panda that is in an American zoo is technically leased by China, and they're calling them back. Are you kidding?

I'm so glad Nixon doesn't have to see this. Yeah, yeah. Should have killed him. That really is like the type of indignity he would have suffered during his life. That's the sort of thing that would happen like a year before he dies. Whereas like that's the last like good thing to do.

This is worse than water case. This is worse than water case. This is worse than water case that's the last like good thing. This is worse than water case. This is worse than water case. This is worse than water case. This is worse than water case. This is worse than water case. This is worse than water case. This is worse than water case. This is worse than water case.

This is worse than water case. This is worse I'm more someone my brother dies. They're sending the Panda Express to get them. But I like to because there was like,

there was some good, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, miss Melchon, some right wing lady says of pandas. Good riddance. Pandas are furry, rolly, poli, lumps of biomass that eat only one thing. Yeah. Good evolutionary strategy, bro. And bubbles around all day doing fuck all. This is like a tip of it, some sk all. This is like a Tim Robinson skit.

This is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is like, this is That's like just such a shady way to enjoy animals. And it's like, okay, then the only good animals are like a niece and roaches. Yeah, like amoebas that can survive like being on the surface of the sun. Yeah, okay. And that would be a very boring zoo. And like people always say this about pandas,

like, oh, they're so stupid. They don't even fuck like whatever. It's like, hey, I mean, you wouldn't fuck if like 13 guys in lab coats were like taking notes and sticking a thermometer up your ass either. And like, they're like, I'm glad you have you at the fuck because it's like these two countries have to be friends.

That's so much, that's so much pressure. Yeah, it's like the new, the new, the only diplomacy that still exists is like, you know, Catherine of Eragon marrying like Henry the eighth is like, you know, it's just China sending a panda to come fuck at the Cincinnati Zoo or something. And now, you know, diplomacy has failed. They're taking him back. But that was like the last period where we acknowledge that like, you know, China for what it is, which is like a competitor to the US. Like a true enemy wouldn't be like that embedded in the US economy and vice versa.

But like during the 90s and like brother 2000s, like that was the last vestige of cooperation was both of our nations working together to get these creatures to like fuck. To get the male pandas like holy hard and like girls wet. And like I've cut like I could like if you told me you have to fuck this woman or like this ascendant nuclear state is going to be an enemy with your country. I couldn't do it. All that pressure. So much like that so much. So much to think about. But like when when when people when people go off on pandas that like, oh, like they have to be like coaxed into coming. All they do is eat bamboo.

They're really cute. They're only here because they people think they're cute. They're such a unique animal. What the fuck are they all? They would have been extinct if they weren't so cute. It's like, bitch, that is a successful evolutionary strategy. If you can convince human beings that you're cute and that your species is worth preserving, that is an excellent evolutionary strategy. Yeah, think of all the ugly ass animals that have gone extinct because

they're not cuddling. Doodles? Get the fuck out of here. No, don't, don't, don't, don't it was so cute. They just like, they have the misfortune of like living in a cruel or world. When like Portuguese sailors, we just, yeah, thousands of them would boil them into tar for no. Yeah, yeah, no, they just like if that happened today, we probably would have preserved like a few, but it was, it was rough times. It was red dead redemption two times. That's like during those times, everyone had to kill every animal to get like point one ounces of like old ampoil, so they could read like a shitty romance novel and jack off

and it would create Nate their brother's wife. So to buy immunity potion at the general store. Yeah. I need some dough no tarot of my dead eye stats. Yeah, it was a bad time. And like look at most dogs. Yeah, they don't do shit. Yeah.

And you know, she had to clean up their poop. Yeah. You know, they hump most dogs. Yeah. They don't do shit. Yeah. And you actually have to clean up their poop. Yeah. They hump other dogs. Sometimes, you know, they're a pit bull. And, uh, oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. You're not in the kingdom banning pit bulls. Banning the XL, bully breed of pit bulls.

Oh, it's just the XL, right? Yeah, yeah. Those XL ones, I, every once in a while, I like fall into an Instagram hole. You know, like, um, I someone recently, yeah. Those Excel ones, I every once in a while, I like fall into an Instagram hole, you know, like, I someone recently, like Ben Moira always reposts these. Where there was one that was like, this generation is two times bully at three times, a mummy or whatever. And someone just like, you were like commented on it, just being like, for those following at home, this means it's in bread twice. They're seeing it on social media.

No, it's a medicine, but it seems bad. Seeing those Ben Moira bully pit bull breeds was giving me flashbacks to reading about the Habsburgs for a new owner. They should be destroyed. I'm sorry, they're an abomination. They should not be allowed. A civilized country would not allow this. I don't know if I said this on the show before, but the hotel we were staying at in Dallas.

Oh my God, this's so fucking funny. Like we were leaving the hotel in the hotel lobby and there were two gentlemen in the lobby who I can only describe as like, island boys clones, like that, that's how, what the, like that's what they looked like. You can just say gay. Who had with them a couple of their like designer,

bully pit bull dogs and they were like two of them and they had like like gold chains on these dogs and like they looked so wretched and stupid. And then like to leave the hotel, there's like three steps that go up to like where the valet parking stuff is where the cars pull around the main entrance. These dogs could not walk up three steps.

Like I'm sorry. He's like, there's like hogs or something. If you should or French bulldogs, like they can't breed. Their lungs are always collapsing in on themselves. If you are one of the Indian guys that killed that Sikh man in Canada, this is what awaits you in your next life. If you are a bad Hindu guy, you get reincarnated as an infrared pitbull and Dallas. That does sound like hell for all eternity.

So like, you know, repent now, pick a different religion or something because you've got a rough eight years ahead of you. If that. And then one more piece of fun animal news that I enjoyed. Another story that I missed out on this week was New York City being flooded once again in our subways system, basically about two ounces of water away from completely collapsing. But there was some incredible footage of New York flooding this past weekend. And one of the things that happened was the Central Park Zoo flooded.

And if you've ever been to the Central Park Zoo in like the main atrium when you walk in, they have their big sea lion tank, their big sea lion pool, just in the middle. All of that flooded and the entire zoo became the sea lion tank. And there is a couple sea lions have absconded from the Central Park Zoo because they were just able to swim away and they found the meal. I followed up. It was apparently one female sea lion. And they just waited till she swam back into the enclosure.

Like she just came home. Well, I mean, Central Park has done so well with the escaped Eurasian Eagle Owl Flaco. I was just saying, I think they should just like let the sea lions go, because I mean, there's water. Once the water's receded, what happens? Where do they go?

The Hudson River? Well, go on this canal. If like a rich enough family gets it, it's probably fine. Like if like if like if one of those families where the mom is like, she does some weird type of a lot. Like she's like, oh, I do animation law. I was the first animation lawyer. Like in America, we did some weird thing

where I had septuplets when I was 57 and the dad is like, oh, I invented a new security that's backed by the Catholic Church molestations. Our combined household income is like $70 billion a year. Like if one of those like upper east side type families finds the sea line, then it's like they have all they need to take care of it. Like it's gonna have a good life.

And like all their kids are like, you know, now going to probably you Chicago. And they want to like take care of the sea line now. Yeah, they're at the nesters. That's fine. But if someone in like the lower east side gets it, it's gonna dock like, really bad. It's not going well.

Well, the freaking sea lion going to dime square. Am I right? He's going to clan destino, folks, is this thing up? Like if the sea lion has to live in one of those apartments where it's just 90% of the space is taken over by like dusty cups of water. It's like a 700 square foot apartment divided between like 12 girls who hate each other.

And one crazy sea lion. One sea lion and all the water is dusty. Like it's gonna hit that. Well the writer strike is over. Call us. Absolutely. Well, I did come up with the New York City sitcom concept that didn't involve the C-line. Well, I, I, you're still coming for the guys. No, I haven't pitched it on the show before. Okay. It's called Besties. Oh,

I think I saw me about this before. It's very good. Yeah, so this is a really shitty idea. So it's like one girl who's like, trad and based. And one girl who's like a leftist. And like they both live in New York City. But like the, the based one gets more leftist because like the based guys are mean to her because she's a woman. But the leftist one gets more based because like the leftist guys are so-oys. Yeah.

They're so-oys guys. And yeah, just called besties and it's about their misadventures. Listen, like the fact that that hasn't been picked up by a network yet is proof that they can't see the long game. I, well, I haven't seriously tried to pitch fat or push more. But like, if, like, if we're ever in a situation where we need to make $50 million, I'm like a year. Well, like, how much one night stay in the ICU cost? Like, let me get to work. I'm going to

stay with Natalie. Felix, you get on that. I will get on my mission of breeding a species of Excel, Baleesee lion. What, where does that leave me? Should I just start an only fan? Yes, hello, nurse. Hello, nurse. Yeah, no, that would be like a $10 a month type deal. You're selling yourself short, Catherine. Wow.

You could charge much more. Thank you. You have to say that. Well, I don't have to say shit at this much. I'm the boss. I'm the boss. I guess like, I know one of the things that from this week, but I guess the last thing I wanted to talk about was Elon Musk's trip to the border to just be like, oh, like, to basically just go up at like refugees corraled under a fucking highway and wearing a cowboy hat backwards. And I just wanna like forget the evil politics

inside of this, I just need to talk about has any human male ever looked worse than Elon Musk currently does? He's looking bad. He is like, if like anyone, everyone else who has his body is so much more proprietary about their image. But like for whatever reason, whether it's like false confidence or like, you know, a delusion brought on by Stimulant and Gettymean Abuse, he's just like, no, I look great.

And he, like he looks like how people are depicted in family guy. Yeah. Like he has Chris Griffin's body. It's like, I look awesome. With, with patchy facial hair. You remember? Like he, like his, his chin looks like a scrotum or like the parent, the, the, the, the space between your balls and asshole.

Like that, that's what his chin looks like. Yeah. Do you guys remember a few years ago, there was that like weird CGI image out of the UK. I think of like, this is what your body, the human body, you have to look like to survive a car crash. Oh, the first one human form. That's what he is becoming a little look like now. Here's my question though. Did he bring that one kid that he always brings to important meetings to the border?

Like the one kid he's in contact with and it's like a toddler that he insists on. He met with Erwin. Yeah, when Erwin said raise your wife there. I just did the grocery store. Erdogan said, that was so cool. That was so cool. That was, that made all this Elon Musk shit worth it

when Erdogan was just like your loser. Yeah, he was correct though. He was like, where's the babysitter? Erdogan, like Erdogan, you've been criticizing for a lot. He loves his wife. Yeah. Like he invaded Syria because Osmo for a lot. He loves his wife. Yeah. Like he invaded Syria because Osmole Assad

was mean to his wife. Like Osmo was like, oh, Erdogan's wife is like, Mousy and like, plain. And he was like, what if I, what if I ruin your country? You bitch. That's love. Oh, and I guess like, I mean, maybe we should, we should just play out with the audio of

Tony Blinken's and Promptu Blues performance. Yeah, this was, that was, I don't use this word a lot, but this was offensive. This was like, Tony Blinken, and this was not the case. Like from what I know of his childhood, it was the opposite of this. He would have had to have grown up in circumstances exactly like Steve Martin in the jerk. Like he'd be remotely acceptable. But no, even Seagal's four days into blues music are less offensive than Tony Blinkens doing this Hoochie Koochi man at an official state dinner. Yeah, this makes music gonna look like an anthropologist. Like this is highly... Miwaan Poonani!

Miwaan Poonani! Yeah. He's like, Tony Blinken sounds like he's doing voice lines for a discontinued Disney ride. And it's so fucking weird because it's like his entire like, he's like the image of like an evil east coast establishment guy like his his entire family him they've all they've all done the most evil jobs ever his dad I forget what his dad's involvement in the Epstein thing is but it's like something I know it's there and I literally just like for example, it is, but it is something. This is not liable. But like he does this highly offensive voice. This is the only way to describe it.

Yeah. What do you think? Should we put a pin in it for today? Let me check it. What are we out of time? Oh god. You don't want to give the Peggy's too much. Yeah. This soon back. I would just say also that, you know, this is the first time, I recently moved and now I have a new official like studio space for the first time. Yeah, we're in this studio right now. And it's gorgeous. Chris is on the amazing app. I just want to apologize if the audio quality is a little off.

I haven't had time to fully soundproof this space, but we're improving every day. If you notice the difference between this episode and any other episode, you should fucking die. There was a difference in this episode and every other episode, other than one very specific. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, there who all like you know about it. We're so bad. We are so back. Yeah. And we're back. And I guess like just by my way, leaving the show, I just want to say like, thank you for bearing with us this past week. And really thank you again for just all the love and outpouring of support for from Matt. I mean, it's just, it's a funny thing. Like it shouldn't take something like this, but it was like in reading the totality of everyone's thoughts

about Matt and their love for him. I mean, we really are just so lucky to have him. Yes, like, I mean, you know, not just like our best friend, but like, I know he'd be embarrassed about me saying this, but like I think truly one of the great Marxist team and this thinkers of the 21st century. And like, yeah, the way people responded to him and like the kush vlogs and just the support, it really means a lot to all of us. So including Matt, yeah, including Matt, like, like, I mean, he's definitely aware of all this. He's reading the comments.

And like I said, he is like, he is on the way to getting better at like, and just we thank you for your support, and it really means a lot to us. Yeah, and also please, please keep hating, because it'll make, just learn this. How's your water? So what can I do for you? How are you on apps or drinks? Because the table of success is calling.
