Starting point is 00:00:00 I As always we're on the subject of the fact that you can only find corded headphones and airports. I can't wait until airlines and airlines incorporate bluetooth into each of the seats. I can't wait for the Boeing Super Max to have Bluetooth enabled headphones. That should be fun. I'd love to watch Guardians of the Galaxy part three as I take a nosedive into the North Atlantic. But here we are.
Starting point is 00:00:56 It's Monday, March 11th. Will Maneker, Felix Biedermann, Amber Frost, got Chapo coming at you. And of course, to begin on this Monday, you know what I'm gonna have to do? A little Oscars recap. I feel like, I know you didn't watch the Oscars, but Amber, did you watch the Oscars last night? I did not.
Starting point is 00:01:15 I know that everyone is mad at the biggest Jew of all Jewry that made the most Jewish fucking movie in the world. And now he's an anti-Semite, because that's basically like the recap that I have. Can I, Felix, can I get you to refute your Judaism on today's show, or have you not seen The Zone of Interest? What do you think?
Starting point is 00:01:38 I mean, I like, you know, I agree with the message of the movie unless it's saying, you know, that we should do zone of interest, in which case I'm against it. I want to congratulate the winner of last night's Oscars, Dan Quinn and Treebes Sample for their film, The Violin in Apology to All Women. There's going to be a sequel, I think, called Double Digits. No, I mean, I saw what the guy said and it's like, it was pretty tame. All our choices were made to reflect and confront us in the present, not to say, look what they did then, rather look what we do now. Our film shows where dehumanization leads at its worst.
Starting point is 00:02:22 It shaped all of our past and present. Right now we stand here as men who refute their Jewishness in the Holocaust being hijacked by an occupation which has led to conflict for so many innocent people. Whether the victims of October the 7th in Israel or the ongoing attack on Gaza, all the victims of this dehumanization, how do we resist? I saw a lot of funny stuff instantly after it. There was a guy who's not even Jewish, he's just like a Greek guy who loves Israel. And he was like, Oh, yeah, well, I dedicate your Judaism to the IDF. Yeah, that was a Abe. Is that Abe Greenwald of commentary says, I dedicate Jonathan Glazer's Oscar to the brave and brilliant men and women of the IDF and to the state of Israel. Don't stop until the enemy is defeated. That was Abe Greenfield who said that. The Greek guy said something like, the Greek guy who loves Israel said,
Starting point is 00:03:27 you instantly endangered every Jewish person in the world. Like the fucking purge is going to happen at a bunch of Oscar parties. Yeah, I like the fact that there are one comment on the Abe Greenwald comment is, amazing to colonize Jonathan Glazer's speech. And then you see the Rabbi Shmooley, Rabbi Shmooley biotech, said, like, basically, cheer us to Jonathan Glazer for his brilliant film about the Holocaust.
Starting point is 00:03:56 Cheer us to Jonathan Glazer for his comments about the Holocaust. And then, of course, my personal favorite of the reactions to yeah, like as you said Felix is Jonathan Glazer is rather you know, like I would say hardly inflammatory comments that he refutes that his Judaism and the Holocaust are being used to support the ongoing occupation of Palestine But of course we had I had to check in An old friend of the show, John Pod Horitz, chimed in to say, Yes. Jay Pod said,
Starting point is 00:04:30 Jonathan Glazer, you can go fuck yourself and stuff your Oscar up your ass. Which is, I like that because the Oscar has a nice flared base and it looks like it could go up someone's ass pretty easily. Safely, yeah. I gotta say though, I'm used to hearing the phrase, shove it up your ass. Stuff it up your ass sounds a little pornographic.
Starting point is 00:04:52 It sounds like something you would hashtag on Pornhub. It doesn't sound the same thing, shove it up your ass, stuff it up your ass, baby. Like it's a little sexual, right? Director of Sexy Beasts gets stuffed by Academy Awards and Rotund commentary magazine editor. J-Pod does do that. So like sometimes he just goes hog wild. I mean, he he took a long break from Twitter.
Starting point is 00:05:18 And I think the thing that made him take a break like before this one was something similar. Yeah. The thing that caused me to take a break is he said that like the New York Times should be bombed. Do you remember that? No, I don't remember that one. Yeah. No, he said something insane like that. People are like, well, you know, what are you saying? And he was like, stick your head up your ass.
Starting point is 00:05:42 Like he sounds like Lex Grossman from a Kravitz Thunder. He looks like Lex Grossman too. Yeah. Yeah. So take take take your Oscar on your Oscar speech and show him up your ass. But hey, look, one thing I do remember about John Podhuritz and I'll I'll I'll bring this into my review of the zone of interest. Do not take anyone to see the zone of interest unless they are hashtag fully adult?
Starting point is 00:06:08 It is not a pleasant movie and it's not appropriate for even a 15 year old. So unless you are fully adult or at least in J-POD's terminology, look fully adult, please do not go to see the zone of interest. It's a very upsetting movie. I thought the Holocaust was more of a PG-13 kind of atrocity. Not in the... Well, The Zone of Interest is interesting because it doesn't really actually
Starting point is 00:06:30 show you much of anything that we associate with the Holocaust. But, you know, I've already already gave my summary of that film on last week's episode. But needless to say, if you haven't listed this, I highly recommend The Zone of Interest. It's a fascinating and stunning and revolting movie. The other big thing from Lesnitz Academy Award that I was shocked, not shocked to say, but I've been very pleased by the controversial reaction to it, because someone mentioning the Holocaust or Israel, you know that's gonna stir up
Starting point is 00:07:01 the stupidest people imaginable. But I didn't think John Cena doing a bit where he appears nude With the awards envelope over his his man area I did not think that that would rile up my favorite contingent of people my favorite and yours Felix the people who see Scionps everywhere. Yeah People are now convinced that you know sort of goofy comic actor John Cena doing a bit where he pretends to be or like, you know, appears to be nude on stage is an Illuminati humiliation ritual. And what I find fascinating about this is that they all heard
Starting point is 00:07:37 Cat Williams interview with Shannon Sharp, where he talked about sort of the, the buck-breaking tradition in the entertainment industry of putting black men in drag to sort of demasculinize them or sort of feminize them in some way. And they've now just applied it to a white guy like John Cena. So I was like, oh, a white guy doing a bit where he's like, oh, I'm naked, oh, I'm naked, oh, like, you know, here's the award, it's for best costume.
Starting point is 00:08:00 Costumes are so important that this now is like, goofy white guys like John Cena can be buckbroken by Hollywood as well You know what I thought was so interesting about it is like John Cena was you know He started out as a pro wrestler and not one of the more dignified ones Like wait no no no build on that please well I mean there's not a lot of dignity in pro wrestling because it is, you know, it's the closest you can get to just being like a professional buffoon, you know?
Starting point is 00:08:32 You have to do all these steroids and like pretend to get slapped in the back. I don't know, why are we thought of it as like drag shows for straight men? I always thought, ah, they let him have their version of that. Yeah, I could kind of see that. But like, John Cena is here. You're right, it's less artistically inclined.
Starting point is 00:08:51 Yeah, I mean, John Cena, he arrived in pro wrestling as like a fully formed adult and Vince McMahon was like, your character is black guy. And John Cena was like, okay. Like, he started out being degraded, is what I'm saying. But it's just, it's strange how like even in the early 2000s, something like this would be like a kind of a good nature, sort of bro-y, like sort of, you know, humor in kind of like a cheeky bad taste that everyone understands is kind of like harmless and fun
Starting point is 00:09:26 But now I saw this one person this like a big QAnon account. Liz Cronkin. I don't know if you're a fan of hers I'm a big Cronk head She said that this was once again that this was about grooming children and it's like he's an adult man It's like 10 o'clock at night on the East Coast. What are you talking about? Also, how is it sort of like, you know emasculating him to be naked when he looks like that? You know, it's actually emasculating about John Cena being naked He doesn't have a single but piece of body hair outside his eyebrows true true. I don't like it He's completely shorn. He's got he looks like yeah, he looks like a thumb. It's a kind of castration. I would agree. Yeah
Starting point is 00:10:08 So we've got the director of sexy beast endangered every Jew worldwide by making a Holocaust movie. That's not this It's not for Jewish people. Okay. It's it's about how It's about how it's about how bad things can happen anytime to anyone and then John Cena Of course is doing sort, is being buckbroken in an Illuminati humiliation ritual to feminize men and humiliate us at the behest of Jimmy Kimmel, I might add. And then, I guess, the last big news from the Oscars was Emma Stone doing a one-woman Dawes act
Starting point is 00:10:41 to the Native American population of this country. Amber, I know as our favorite movie of the year, Poor Things was sort of an upset contender last night. It won a lot of the technical categories. I like Yorgo's generally, but I definitely, like I was excited about it. He definitely has yet to do much of a wide berth. I'm not saying he's like a pedophile,
Starting point is 00:11:07 but I think he's looking for a loophole to where it's okay to fuck a woman with severe brain damage. And speaking of Tropic Thunder, Emma went a little too... She went half regarded. Yeah, yeah. And that's why she won the award. Yeah, definitely. I saw it with a friend and we were like, yeah, we were prepared for weird, but there's some there's a little too much Freud in this for our taste. There's a little too much. Also, just like visually, it was clearly someone who had been given too much of a like a budget.
Starting point is 00:11:42 I wanted to like it a lot. Sorry, homie. Amber, if you thought if you thought poor things had too much Freud in it for you, I would not recommend the movie Bo is a Frig. You haven't seen that one already. Well, that's why that was my favorite movie of the year, despite all of the sigmond in it. Sorry, Benny Johnson was the one who coined that John Cena was doing a male humiliation ritual. So I think that that, seeing John Cena naked, Benny was like, I'm being humiliated right now. That's the most like for girls like it, like, oh no, this shirt doesn't even fit my boobs.
Starting point is 00:12:17 Like that's such a humble brag. It's like, oh, I'm humiliated and naked. Look at me. One more thing from the Academy Awards if you watch the TV broadcast You did see an amazing commercial about fighting anti-Semitism in America that featured It was like it was like a young young Elliot is doing his portion of the Torah at a synagogue And then for some reason like while he's having his bar mitzvah The synagogue gets a bomb threat called into it and then like they have to get everyone out of the synagogue and
Starting point is 00:12:46 Then right across the street from the synagogue is a Christian church and the pastor comes out and says everybody Just come on in You know we'll host you and then it had it had Elliot becoming a man reading from the Torah with a huge crucifix behind him And it said we don't like we can end the hate when everybody crucifix behind him and it said we do like we can end the hate when everybody Like helps each other or something like that, but I did really appreciate that commercial. I liked the anti-defamation leagues I keep seeing it in between like commercials like between big basketball where it says a Anti-Semitic hate has gone up 388 percent and I'm like what is the quant Like, what's the metric you're using for that?
Starting point is 00:13:27 How do you measure that's really funny? It's really fun. A protest where someone says the word Palestine, that's what the metric I use. They measure it through futures trading. There's a bunch of guys on the floor. Swastika at $39. I went to a lot, I didn't have a bar mitzvah myself, I went to a lot of them as a boy. But look, let's just say I knew a lot of kids who would have benefited from a bomb threat that evacuated. They were not doing a good job reading the Torah. Everyone I've talked to has had one kind of mumbles through it, right? Yeah, you can't get like a stupid 13-year-old to like, you know, speak like a 10,000-year-old language. That's not going to work.
Starting point is 00:14:22 No, yeah, I feel like I did that Elliot called in the bomb threat himself because he knew he didn't study in Hebrew school hard enough. He was like, okay, what's the way I can still get like a $10,000 in birthday money, but not have to fucking embarrass myself in front of all my aunts and uncles? It was definitely the equivalent of like pulling the fire alarm on the day of finals. 100%. And then it cuts to as they're shuffling everybody over to the church, it cuts to him at a pay phone around the corner going like, oh no, it was actually the Lutheran church
Starting point is 00:14:53 around across the street. Lutherans deserve to die. I hope you all fucking die. Hey, bitch, this is Charles the fifth just because I didn't finish the job Well, actually, this is a good segue into my next topic which is Things things are afoot in the house of Windsor the throne of Great Britain So okay Kate Middleton has has sort of been out of the public eye for the last couple of months, right?
Starting point is 00:15:29 And it was like, according to Buckingham Palace, it was some medical leave or something like that, like she had surgery or something. I think it was a BBL disaster. But anyway, no one's seen her and like the crown appears to be hiding her. And then they're like, okay, well, to deal with this, Kate Middleton released a photograph supposedly taken of her and her kids by Prince William.
Starting point is 00:15:52 People immediately noticed all kinds of bizarre discrepancies in like the fact that like the trees are in full bloom even though it's early March and all of the kids seem to have their fingers crossed. And then multiple news agencies refused to run the photo because they had determined it had been heavily edited. Okay, okay. But just to give them the benefit of the doubt, this is the royal family. I would not put it past them to produce a bunch of children with weird claw and flipper hands. But okay, so you got, okay, King Charles, okay King Charles. He's dead
Starting point is 00:16:26 He's treating his prostate cancer with smoothies right now. Hey, middle-ten probably also dead We don't know what's going on with her and then you got Harry sitting on deck in like Hollywood trying and he's been you know Non-person by by the House of Windsor. So what's going on with the royal family? Could they take any more elves? I mean mean I know Probably odds on the Charles is dead, but I like the idea that he isn't and he's just taking everyone out That's classic royal family Who's who's the biggest threat to my role of my son obviously? And it's it would be so funny for him to do that now,
Starting point is 00:17:06 to kill everyone in the royal family now over a power struggle, when the royal family is basically like a Kiwani's club. Like all they do is like, oh, we're opening a new Tesco on the Isle of Jersey. We have to go to a ribbon cutting. It's like below mayor. Yeah, it's just someone who marches in parades, definitely. Yeah, I would be depressed if I had to be, you know, an English royal.
Starting point is 00:17:36 It really, it's just really depressing. 200 years earlier, you would have maybe had some Jews. But now, yeah, you have to support every charity in the world. That's like, you know They send Americans to some third world country to like build too many wells. Yeah, I mean my my theory is like These children are just falling down well. Yeah, they like please stop Country's 50% well The country is 50% well. My theory is that they engineered the crown. They hired Sachi and Sachi to like, we need a campaign.
Starting point is 00:18:15 We need to go viral again or something. The crown is purely like a PR campaign for them. They should do a fake kidnapping with Kate. Those always work. A fake kidnapping? Yeah, maybe I could. Maybe I could. They could want to do it, but like.
Starting point is 00:18:30 Well, she's an actress. Yeah. I think they've done it actually. You know what? I think they've done a real kidnapping to Megan. But you know what I'm just saying? Let's bring back the IRA. Maybe they could do like a fake kidnapping of Kate.
Starting point is 00:18:41 Maybe that's already happened. Maybe they're going to roll it out, you know, in April, right before before maybe like right before Easter It'll come out. I don't know. But I you know, I love royal watching and I love the bit, you know, like it's like maybe maybe this is all another Sly op to make everyone lose their mind by having a photo where all the royal children are crossing their fingers because like, you know Apparently like in hostage videos, you're supposed to do something like that to like, or if you're being held against your will or being forced to present yourself, you're supposed to do something like that to the signal distress or something like that. So maybe, maybe the fake IRA has kidnapped the Royal Family, or like I said earlier, a BBL disaster, her ass exploded, and they're hiding her from the public. So moving on from the royal family to some
Starting point is 00:19:33 some more political show business in this country, we didn't get a chance to discuss last week Biden's state of the union address, which he got high marks from from everyone. Everyone basically like just decided they sort of like the lead up to it is like, oh, he's too old and then he comes out If he you know apparently I didn't watch it, but everyone said oh he delivered a great speech You know he was on fire. He was he was energized and he's back So Biden's back. He put all the questions about his age to bed I don't think we'll be hearing any more about that and I think he'll be smoothly sailing to re-election Thanks to the state of the union address What did you guys make of the State of the Union
Starting point is 00:20:07 if you saw it or the reaction to it after? I kind of liked the reaction that was like, all he had to do was not fall off the dais, but they pronounced it dais, I think. And it's like, and hey, he brought it. So it's like he outperformed dying in public. Yeah. But yeah, like, no, I think, you know, It's like he outperformed dying in public. Yeah But yeah, like no, I think you know everyone who said he's told to be president I hope they're I hope they're eating their words right about now
Starting point is 00:20:32 There's a big plate of crow to be shared among you know Sort of the lesser podcast certainly not this one because you know, I've always said Biden's got it He's sharp as he's ever been But you know, he really put he really put the critics to bed with this day of the union speech where he said, among other things, we're going to be building a pier in Gaza to deliver the aid that Israel won't let in. Yeah, it was one of those things where it's like, this is the standard. Like, yeah, he made it through the entire thing without saying President Trump or, you know, going into like a brain death reverie over something that happened 71 years ago.
Starting point is 00:21:09 But I don't read. I don't think people realize how bad it looks when you brag about that. Oh, look who didn't completely fault. Look who didn't show up to the state of the union naked. Looks like looks like you owe somebody an apology. And then there was a hot mic moment where Who is he talking to? Whoever oh some old congressman. He's talking to was like well, I don't think there'll be any questions about your mental competency tonight, sir
Starting point is 00:21:40 Was the thing that Dave Weigels shared where he was just like no one will be saying saying you're mentally incapacitated now Mr. President and he goes, sometimes I wish I was. Yeah. Yeah. Honestly, same. You're fired. You are fired. Nobody's even talking about cognitively. You are fired.
Starting point is 00:21:56 You are fired. Try to go sometime. Who wants to talk to me? You are fired. You are fired. Try to go sometime. Who wants to talk to me? You are fired. fire trying to go sometime to the west part of here. But he had a contrived hot mic moment where he he was telling
Starting point is 00:22:10 someone, oh, I'm going to turn up the heat on on Netanyahu. And the guy whoever he's talking to goes, Oh, we're on a hot mic. And he goes good. Yeah. Yeah, I'm just like that. That's the Liz Warren, Bernie CNN moment, you know, that's the fake as shit. No, yeah, talking about pro wrestling. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Well, as long as we're talking about it in
Starting point is 00:22:31 terms of turning up the heat on Netanyahu, he's been giving a lot of interviews this week, because I think, you know, like, I did the interview last week with the Uncommitted Movement, you know, his polling is in the fucking shithouse. And like, I think it's clear that like, they think that they just need to like keep saying the word they need to say the word Ceasefire or red line, but then like as soon as they say it they contradict themselves like in this interview with I think Jonathan Capehart from NBC He said that like yeah The invasion of Raafa is a red line for me and then in the next sentence says well
Starting point is 00:23:03 Obviously, there are no red lines my red line is Israel. And then Netanyahu immediately said after that, yeah, we're invading Rafa whether you like it or not. But like, and the other poll was like this, to help in help the flow of aid into Gaza Because I guess just dropping boxes on a city full of people is not really cutting the mustard So now they're gonna build this again and shout out to a Muslim Tom who I think gets this exactly correct If you believe that they're actually going to build this pier you like that's like Trump's wall that they're actually going to build this pier, that's like Trump's wall. It's just, this is a baby-brained horseshit that like, if the United States military came close to building anything like a functioning port in Gaza,
Starting point is 00:23:54 Israel would bomb it immediately. Yeah, not only would they like bomb it, like they would just, first of all, it's way easier to bomb a port because it's a single centralized location It's not the same as dropping stuff at where you could do it kind of scattershot like it's all in one place We're doing we're doing Dunkirk in reverse to get like flower into Gaza. Yeah It seems like we should just I don't know drive it in maybe yet. No, I mean they
Starting point is 00:24:23 Roads exist aid trucks exist They just happen to keep getting hit with cruise missiles which could be coming from anybody. We don't know But yeah, it seems it seems way easier to tell the country that you're giving Baseline three billion dollars a year to 17 billion dollars this time to tell them Hey, you know the big trucks that say United Nations on them like Don't shoot cruise missiles from your battleships on those just don't do that Yeah, it's way easier to do that than to build a fucking port, but yeah, no, it's we're not even doing this to look busy We're just saying this to sound busy. This is nothing. Well, and again, like, too, it's like they're acting like they need to put a bigger sticker that says
Starting point is 00:25:12 AID truck on it because this is all some big misunderstanding. Yeah. They're like, OK, we need to take a hot pink highlighter. Hot pink highlighter. Do not bomb. And like the people are right about like though It is kind of symbolic calling for a ceasefire because they're just gonna be like yeah, no We're not gonna do that. Oh god We've been we've been writing you in on the side of the trucks not on the top Couldn't be they couldn't they just look like regular trucks full of people and then they were like green light on that shit
Starting point is 00:25:43 But yeah, like if you, like whatever phony like ceasefire shit the Biden administration is talking about right now. So last week when I talked to, what's his name? From to Walid Shahid of the Uncomitted Movement. One thing that he said that really stuck with me and it didn't fully like register while I was doing the interview. So I'd like to just like bring it up again here. He said that like he started the Uncomitted Movement because at the end of last year, he saw a memo that was being circulated among the cable and network news. I forget which he didn't mention which network, but he said he mentioned a memo that he had seen that was circulated among the media that basically said that like all of the major news organizations were planning on shifting
Starting point is 00:26:24 focus out of Gaza and just towards the presidential election It started as soon as January started which is like maybe didn't register at the time because of how shocking it actually is But I really think the thing now is that like people I think they're they're trying to stick to that memo But I think they're concerned that people aren't playing along with them that like for some for some nagging pesky reason Palestine and the horrors of Gaza Continue to be on people's minds and they continue to be a pain in the ass for the Democratic Party Because basically anyone who's running for reelection right now or doing any kind of event cannot open their mouths without having 10 people shout at them to Cease fire now and the fucking genocide in Gaza and I think think for supporters of the president, I've seen a lot of comments
Starting point is 00:27:07 now saying that like, you know, if you're still angry about Joe Biden over Palestine, well, he said the word ceasefire. So if you're still mad at him because of that, then it was never really about Palestine to begin with. It was just about how much you hate the president. And it's just this weird, like, I guess in their mind, it's just like the words and actions don't really have to have any connection between them to be meaningful. It's just sort of like, well, he said the word, he's building the peer, or what, there's nothing else he can do. What more do you want from him? I also think that people are just checked out of the election. Like this time around, like, they're like, this is not, this is not even good TV like nothing
Starting point is 00:27:45 about this really matters to people I haven't seen a single sign anywhere I mean maybe it'll heat up what like after the conventions but like as I said from the beginning of the year this whole thing is just on rails every like the outcome is predetermined other than what the election itself is going to be but yeah like there's just no juice or excitement here because I think like for most people this is like we got to do this shit again, really? Yeah. And I think also, like people still have, I don't know, the mindset that that was the problem for the Hillary campaign where they're like, we got this thing locked up, but they still need to
Starting point is 00:28:18 like, I guess remind people about it. But everyone's, everyone seems to be disengaged. I kind of only pop in when I'm like, oh, Trump one another, you know, like, other than that, I'm just kind of checking in with the, with what's already happening as it happens. Yeah, no matter what happens, there's nothing new that we're going to see again. I mean, we've seen both these men, you know, be president for four years. seen both these men, you know, be president for four years. There's even a limit on how funny it can be when they debate each other. We know we're not going to get anything fun out of that. They just, they, you know, put Joe Biden under a heat lamp, like a, like a premature baby before debates with Trump. And he just mumbles through them. There is nothing exciting that can happen.
Starting point is 00:29:06 I think if he loses, he's gonna die immediately. Oh, absolutely. Why can't he do that now? I mean, it would be the most honorable thing he's done in his entire career is if he just like retails. No, no, no, I don't even think it's gonna be like dispiriting like for him
Starting point is 00:29:22 and that's why he's gonna die. I think they're just gonna like cut off the supply of drugs that they've been giving him which have probably been which have probably been like glowering his life expectancy by quite a lot just so he can have like 10 more minutes of lucidity a day. I bet had he not been elected, he would, and I bet it's eroding his actual like capacity to think straight. I bet if he had not won, he would have lived longer and he would have had a more generalized lucidity. Like he still would have had senior moments, but he wouldn't have been in such stressful situations where he would just like he was just like eroding in front of the entirety of America.
Starting point is 00:30:09 What they're doing to Biden right now is something I guess can best be described as overclocking his brain through a sort of pharmaceutical cocktail, which can be good, but Emily, you said like, how much life does this guy have left him? I mean, really truly only the good die young. But I mean, Felix, like the only exciting, I've said this before, but the only exciting thing that could happen is if one or both of them die.
Starting point is 00:30:31 And I just think like it's the, would be the best thing for the country and it would be the best thing for Joe Biden. For him to just go, just like, you know, like the next time he has a little shiver in the night, just roll into it. You're right, Ember, as soon as they stop giving him those injections or whatever,
Starting point is 00:30:45 he'll just turn to dust or something. Yeah, that's probably what they were rushing out of Afghanistan with like the cargo doors and the plane open, just the last opium plants to take life back to the office. He is making an affirmative choice every day, saying, I'm not gonna just let my heart stop today. If I wake up in the middle of the night gasping,
Starting point is 00:31:11 you know, Dr. Jill is gonna hook me up to a nine-volt battery that she takes out of the smoke detector. I don't see Trump dying in a similar way. Trump, no matter how old or how fat or however bad he looks, something about that man just screams plain crash death. He's the exact type of person who dies in a plain crash.
Starting point is 00:31:34 I'm thinking toilet, dies on the toilet. He must have the most impacted bowels of all time. Oh my, yeah. The process of him shitting is probably like reloading a musket. His guts must be like a cement mixer. Like, yeah. This is also making me imagine that there will someday be a last Donald Trump post. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:31:55 Yeah. They've gone downhill now that he's on truth and can like do full paragraphs because so they don't have this sickness in the bite. But still, there's going to be one last post where he's complaining about like the bad fashion on the emmy's red Carpet and why that's against the maga agenda and then it'll be yeah. Yeah, I mean he won't even mention I got he won't even have to he's just gonna be like he's just gonna be like Emma stone you look fat like that's gonna be the entirety of it. Trump's last post I've I've seen things you people would not believe
Starting point is 00:32:30 roast beef under heat lamps at Mar-a-Lago Eric Roberts in a gay-holy one at a celebrity golf tournament after an hour gate time to die But then I guess like the other the other big thing from the state of the union address was of course The the Republican rebuttal to the state of the union address Which honestly got a lot more burn than Joe Biden speech because it was widely heralded as a disaster It was delivered by Alabama senator Katie Britt who's sort of hailed as a rising star in the Republican Party and
Starting point is 00:33:04 God like I think I think the Republican Party uses the State of the Union rebuttal to cash out like people who are quote unquote rising stars who they know are losers and they want to get rid of early. Like Mark Rubio or Bobby Jindal. Do you remember how bad their rebuttals were and how it like sunk their national political careers? This Katie Britt lady, I think they were like there's some off of there We don't want to deal with her give her the state of the union rebuttal that she delivered in a like a Kitchen seemingly devoid of kitchen implements, and she like whispered the entire thing. She was going America we see you we feel you. We know you feel unsafe.
Starting point is 00:33:46 We get it. It was bizarre. She's fucking iconic. I mean, I've already had like a million gays like send me that video and be like, I love this psychotic bitch. She has absolutely no future. But did you see the video where someone layered like Angelo Badle Mente over it? Yeah. It's mind-blowing.
Starting point is 00:34:07 Laura Steely. America has been tested before. And every single time we've emerged unbowed and unbroken. Our history has been written with the grit of men and women who got knocked down. But we know their stories. Yeah. And it kind of felt like, it kind of felt like, it, I don't know, it just really, really worked. You're like, yeah, she knows where Laura Palmer is buried.
Starting point is 00:34:39 Do you think that if you're falling in space, you slow down or do you go faster and faster? I just remembered that Laura Palmer wasn't buried, but she knows what happened. Well, she was wrapped in plastic and don't know her. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I feel like, did you catch any of Katie Britt? Yeah, no, I mean, she sounded like she couldn't be too loud or her husband would yell at her.
Starting point is 00:35:00 He's sleeping on the couch in the next room, Yeah. Yeah. I'm doing the mock draft. Shut up, you bitch. Very strange. But when was the last time there was like a GOP rebuttal where like Republicans liked it? Never. Yeah, never. Democrats eat that shit up. That's why like the first Trump state of the Union, there were like 15 versions of the Democratic rebuttal They all wanted to get in. Yeah. Yeah. It was it was like it was like a terrible posse cut like a terrible like backpack wrap posse cut
Starting point is 00:35:40 Like they were in lyric colleges. Yeah She definitely went rogue and like didn't check in with anyone, or she checked in with anyone. And like what Will said is that like they just need a few sacrificial lambs to like drop fire early on. And they were like really encouraging. Like they're like, yeah, just speak from the heart. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:59 Like it is pathetic how like Democrats will get legitimately excited about their shitty candidates. How like a grown man will be like, I'm so excited about Ruben Gallego. But have you seen Katie the latest fire from Katie Porter and her way forward? Yeah. Yeah. But Republican, like I've mentioned a few times how I follow this guy But Republican like I've mentioned a few times how I follow this guy formerly of team Mitch McConnell and He's like, you know, he is the swamp creature He has to pretend to like all these people right and even he can't really do a convincing job
Starting point is 00:36:36 Like it is torturous to be a Republican and to try to be like, you know, oh, I'm really excited about Blake Masters. Look at Katie Britt, the fucking 33 year old sorority girl we found. The 33 year old Alabama freshman. Super senior. Yeah. The super senior role time. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:02 They don't do the Democrat thing where they are legitimately into all the other candidates because you know, why would they it's the it's the Trump show There's no one else to be excited about No, I think I think she's sort of a Judas goat that goes out there draws the fire Let's Trump do his thing is an embarrassment But like yeah, I mean remember Rubio drinking from the bottle of water, Bobby Jindal coming down, like taking five minutes to walk down like a spiral staircase and approach the microphone and bizarrely,
Starting point is 00:37:32 but all of them are losers. So I think a few Republicans, they can smell a loser, you know, like, and I think that's why they put them out there to, you know, like, again, just get riddled with bullets, essentially. But Felix, look, you mentioned just get riddled with bullets, essentially. But Felix, look, you mentioned the Mitch McConnell staffer that you follow. We got to talk about Mitch's sister-in-law. Because this is a hell of a story.
Starting point is 00:37:53 Angela Chow off a bean drove into a pond. I love your RxK verse. Off a bean drove into a pond. I knew Angela Chow was off of being when she drove into a pond I put the Tesla in reverse. I'm seeing God But you know, this is I saw case headline here is Angela Chow Shipping shipping CEO Angela Chow sister of former cabinet member Elaine Chow died after car became submerged in pond To which I say if you ask me that's a sacrifice
Starting point is 00:38:25 That's a sacrifice It is such a sacrifice if it isn't that's pathetic. Oh I Think Elon Musk killed the killed this bitch. I have really do I think he just opened up his laptop and hit reverse on her Tesla in his Control panel. I mean, that's probably giving him too much credit. But this story is incredible. It's okay. This is from CNN. Angela Chow, CEO of shipping company, Foremost Group and sister of former US cabinet secretary Elaine Chow, died after her car became submerged in a pond on a central Texas ranch last month, according to the Wall Street Journal and
Starting point is 00:39:01 a report from Blanco County Emergency Services obtained by the Austin American Statesman Chow's text Tesla Model 10 SUV went over an embankment and into a pond when she put the car in reverse Instead of drive during a three-point turn shortly before midnight on February 10th the Wall Street Journal reports this I mean this has echoes of Michael Hastings here Like if you have a car in it sell it because they to kill you. They're going to kill you with your car. 1,000%. Yeah, that is... It went over an embankment just by putting it in reverse? Come on, man. And then, of course, like, because of the Tesla, she couldn't break the window or open the door.
Starting point is 00:39:49 the door. Yeah, no, this is I would hope for her family's sake that this is a Michael Hastings situation because otherwise, like, that is that is how like an assistant football coach in Moline, Illinois, died just driving into a pond. But I saw people talking about it. You know, apparently she was just, she was like blowing up everyone's phone, being like, ah, come help me, my car is sinking. Which is like... Oh, God. Have you considered that people are in meetings?
Starting point is 00:40:18 That's... Why don't you text? It's horrible. You know, if your car is slowly being submerged in water, probably best to hit the Twitter DMs. I'm going to respond to that a lot quicker than I will attack our phone call. Oh, but you know, if you follow me, because if you don't follow me and you're trying to contact me because your car is slowly drowning, I don't even bother at that point because I'm not going to see the message. Yeah. But like, okay, why would Elon Musk or the deep state or the Illuminati, why would they kill
Starting point is 00:40:50 this shipping CEO? I mean, we all know about cocaine, Mitch and what, you know, they're probably with the foremost shipping company. There's some sort of associations there with cocaine, Mitch and whatnot. But I don't know, like, is Elon Musk draining the swamp by killing the relatives of Mish McConnell? Can we vote on that? Yeah, that's beneath him. I think like baby by accident, I could not see him doing it on purpose. No, he's trying to do it on purpose. He would tweet about it. He would tweet about it. He would be like, oh, I invented a new satellite that's going to kill them with a laser and it just never gets off the ground. No, yeah, I invented a new satellite that's going to kill them with a laser. And it just never gets off the ground. No, yeah, I don't trust him to do it, you know, through his own powers.
Starting point is 00:41:32 And Aqua's razor, it's just it's just a garbage suicide car. It's a terrible car that kills people. So one of the least safe automobiles ever created. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know if I told you guys, I was looking into the Pinto, the historic Pinto, I think it ended up in a congressional hearing. And I found out the reason that became such a big deal didn't have anything to do with the numbers that they associated, even like very, very generously associated with like the number of like crashes, deaths, explosions.
Starting point is 00:42:12 It didn't even have to do with the count. It was the fact that a memo was leaked that covered the minutes where they did, they hired some kind of quant to do a cost benefit analysis of how much a lawsuit would cost them versus how much a recall and upgrade would cost them. Now, compare that to just like these, these stupid robot cars that are just rolling into ponds and getting into massive pileups. Like we've just given up. I think you have to sign an NDA before you buy a Tesla
Starting point is 00:42:47 or get it fixed. So yeah, RIP to Elaine Chao, what a stupid way to die. Your self-driving car kills you by backing into a pond. All right, so let's close out the show today here. How about a reading series about the perils of dating in the modern world? This is by Jane Pinsley for the Jewish Chronicle headline Hinge and Tinder are swamped with anti Zionism say Jewish singles. I'm sure it's a big problem for both you and Amber
Starting point is 00:43:19 So the article begins as as such meet 26 year old Amy The article begins as such. Meet 26-year-old Amy. She's single, likes puppies, and is looking for a date on hinge. But it's not just good-looking men she's after. She goes crazy for a free Palestine. At least that's what her dating profile says. Felicity tells singles on hinge,
Starting point is 00:43:38 the way to win me over is, having higher emotional intelligence than a turtle, loving spicy food, and being pro-Palestine. Yousef says, the dorkiest thing about me is that I write poems in my spare time. Underneath these words is a photograph of him waving a Palestinian flag. Lauren cuts to the chase by simply saying, no Zionists. Lee wants to make sure we're on the same page about free Palestine, so does Savannah and Boris and Mikayla. But although there are some pro-Israel profiles, most of the messages flow in one
Starting point is 00:44:07 direction. Jewish singles on hinge tell the JC that between one in 10 and one in three of their matches have something anti Israel on their profile. You just can't get a date anymore if you love Israel. Dude, it's made its way to grinder, which is like politics on grinder. What is the world coming to? I'm into rimming and also a free Palestine. I don't care if you support Israel as long as you're uncut. My friend sent me something that his ex-boyfriend got through Grindr,
Starting point is 00:44:40 just like a random message. He said, be a screenshot and his ex is Navajo and it goes you're sick how fucking dare you while Israel sends water technology to Navajo nation how dare you perfect and the guy responds perfect example of your ignorance peace bro and then he responds no peace for you. None. Nightmares of murdered children for you. Family members held in torture. Jesus Christ. Holy shit. What water technology are they sending to the Navajo nation?
Starting point is 00:45:16 Like what are the most successful like indigenous enterprises? Like what were they just like eating sand before? They're like water, holy shit, We never thought of that. Thank you Israel I love that what is rallies pretend they invented irrigation? Look they made the desert bloom, okay, yeah Yeah, like it's it's you know as if dating wasn't hard enough It's getting worse. Apparently if you support Israel. The article continues, What's more, while app algorithms are challenging to pin down, Jewish daters say that their matches
Starting point is 00:45:53 have gone down since the war started and they think it's got something to do with the Jew stamp on their profile. A JC editor at large, Stephen Pollard took to Twitter to express his frustration with a number of anti-Zionist profiles on hinge. I noticed a few weeks after October 7th that some profiles started to show the Palestinian flag, he says. I didn't think much of it, but something has happened more recently. It's not yet the majority, but many profiles I see now say no Zionists.
Starting point is 00:46:22 Now divorced, 59-year- old Steven downloaded the hinge last summer. A few months of swiping later, Palestinian flags started appearing. I don't have a problem with the Palestinian flag. People can share whatever flag they like, but people who post no Zionists are basically saying no Jews. It's what they think is an acceptable way of saying it, he adds. I like the idea that like okay this guy had only been on it for a few months before like October 6 and I'm sure he was doing great and getting a lot of matches before then this seems like a lot of cope Steven Pollard looks like I mean, I'm not exaggerating when I say Steven Pollard looks like 10 times more physically revolting than John Potthoritz. He looks like
Starting point is 00:47:06 a blob fish. He is a disgusting creature. And if he's not getting any matches there, I mean, he goes on to say, it's like the signs that used to read no blacks, no Jews, no dogs, no Irish. Well, in your case, just decide. Just decide it says no dogs would be appropriate, Steven. Yeah. I like that it's like they used to not be able to get into bars and public houses. Now we don't have access to pussy. I risk need not apply. Yeah, this is an outrage.
Starting point is 00:47:36 This is discrimination. Not sucking my dick is discrimination. I don't care if your wife backed up into a pond. I don't agree with being wife backed up into a pond. I Don't I don't I don't agree with being like a 60 year old man who's like on hinge I also don't agree with hinge Making Jews wear the Jews But both parties could be wrong here
Starting point is 00:48:11 It says here Steven says there are masses of Palestinian flags on hinge and he's come across profiles of women who say no turfs, no Tories, free Palestine. It put me off opening the app, he says. 22 year old Hannah, not her real name, has also distanced herself from dating apps since realizing how many potential matches were diametrically opposed to her when it came to Israel. Yeah, that's dating. Yeah, that's called dating. Yeah. I mean, like, I just like, this whole thing just seems to be like sort of more whining just about being unpopular rather than, it's just like, it's the conflation of being unsafe with being unpopular.
Starting point is 00:48:39 Like, look, if Zionism is a huge part of your personal identity and dating preferences, you can't really get mad when Zionism becomes associated with something that most people are horrified by and wouldn't really want to have sex with someone, let alone a potential relationship with someone whose values are so diametrically opposed. And look, would any of these people in under regular circumstances date someone who was Palestinian or opposed to the occupation of Palestine? Of course they wouldn't they hate they hate people like that putting that shit in there means they're saving you a wasted first date
Starting point is 00:49:18 Yeah, you have the incompatible values. I just think like the only reason this article exists is because it used to be pretty well Used to you could pretty well used to be able that you could assume sort of broadly speaking that like Israel was like sort of the mainstream Okay position and that having like an Israeli flag on your dating bio Isn't controversial But now that the shoes on the other foot where I was having a Palestinian flag would be now the shoes on the other foot And most people fucking hate Israel these people are just they're they're crying that it's not fair now Because it used to they used to be like I don't know coasting off this assumption that you know being a Zionist was normal When it's never been the article continues Zach 35 says I got pretty disillusioned after I found myself consistently matching with anti-Zionists,
Starting point is 00:50:05 even when I said it to Jewish only. They can't catch a break. They can't even find Jews who like them anymore. Jesus Christ. That's a setting? Yeah, Jewish only. Isn't J.J. like the tone of that? I feel like Felix is immediately wondering if hinge has the opposite setting
Starting point is 00:50:30 So Zach put an Israeli flag emoji on his profile to rectify the situation It's annoying because the more creative personalities I normally go for tend to be more anti-Israel now He's having fewer awkward conversations about the conflict, but the people he's matching with are less interesting. Oh, what a shame, Zahra. I'm sorry. There's not enough Batias and Bauris in the sea for these guys. Can I just say, if we are to take people like the foreword or the ADL at their word that we're on the verge of a second Holocaust that like it has never been worse. There's nowhere safe in the world for Jews except Israel that like you wouldn't write this article. Like there wasn't like They looked like in 1936 in Germany they were like, why is it so hard to you know That Gentile pussy anymore that would like put a target on your back. They were keeping their heads out
Starting point is 00:51:36 I keep matching with those of the SS So it says here Then there's 27 year old Jacob back in October the conversation on a first date with someone who wasn't Jewish turned into an uncomfortable debate about Israel. Jacob says he is not keen on repeating that. When he matched with the girl of his dreams on hinge, they quickly planned to date. The day before they swapped social media links and he saw her Instagram was flooded with anti-Israel content. The girl had been at anti-Israel rallies and was sharing content that made Jacob uncomfortable. He decided not to meet her and texted her to apologize. He received this curt response.
Starting point is 00:52:09 Thanks for letting me know. Have a nice day. Oh my God, the hatred! Oh my God! Can you imagine getting a response that curt? They're preventing you from wasting your time. You should be thanking them. Like, isn't your whole thing is that you're closing ranks?
Starting point is 00:52:27 But no, they have to let everyone like them. They have to make everyone like them. It's so fucking lame. I mean, forget like being like, oh, wait a minute. Maybe if everyone's going this way, I should just, just for a minute, consider my position. Forget that, that's not not happening that's not happening but they don't get that it's like well this is this is what what do you want to do get in a date
Starting point is 00:52:51 where you argue about israel some people might like that maybe it's like a fetish or something but ember it goes beyond that because just a few paragraphs earlier there was the guy who was like yeah okay uh i'm matching with only pro-Israel ladies now. The problem is they're also fucking boring. I don't know what to do. It's like, have one or the other, okay? Like, if it matters to you, like, stand up for yourself, or you should just consider pretending not to support Israel to get some bussiness. Yeah, would that really be like the worst thing anyone has ever done to like, you know, get a girlfriend or something? People have, I've gone to karaoke night with all the girls friends.
Starting point is 00:53:34 And I consider that, you know. And believe me, if you look, if you look, if you look, if you look, if you look, if you look, if you look, if you look, if you look, if you look, if you look, if you look, if you look, if you look, if you look, if you look, if you look, if you look, if you look, if you look, if you look, if you look, if you look, if you look, if you look, if you look, if you look, if you look, if you look, if you look, if you look, if you look, if you look, if you look, if you look, if you look, if you look, if you look, if you look, if you look, if you look, if you look, if you look, if you look, if you look, if you look, if you look, if you look, if you look, if you look, if you look, if you look, if you look, if you look, if you look, if you look, if you look, if you look, if you look, if you look, if you look, if you look, if you look, if you look, if you look, if you look, if you look, if you look, if you look, if you look, if you look, if you look, if you look, if you look, if you look, if you look, if you look, if you look, if you look, if you look, if you look, if you look, if you look, if you look, if you look, if you look, if you look, if you look, if you look, if you look, if you look, if you look, if you look, if you look, if I mean, in both situations, I'm coming armed. So I said, like many singles who dodge anti-Israel dates, Jacob was pleased he didn't waste more time on the girl, but wondered what the date would have turned into. After that, he started matching with more Jews. The next one, so it worked out for him. Glad he shared this story. The next month, Jacob met another woman on hinge. They discovered they were both going to an anti-antisemitism march in central London and arranged to meet for a date afterward. They met at the demo, but the freezing weather at the parade in November amid signs such as United Against Antisemitism didn't make for the most romantic start and the pair were
Starting point is 00:54:23 too cold and tired for sparks to fly there has been One of the worst excuses I've ever heard. Oh, yeah, it was just too cold for me to get horny That's idiotic too because like cold is a huge opportunity to touch someone with plausible deniability. You just got no gain This is like I mean this reminds me of our show last week with Ocita and the constitutional right to be cool This is sort of similar We'd like the constitutional right to be like not discriminated against like extends to your dating preferences or rather not your dating preferences other people's dating preferences because it's like I Don't know. I mean like is it discrimination if like, you know
Starting point is 00:55:14 Because you know, I've seen a thing lately about how they're like there's less and less relationships across voting lines and people are sort of lamenting that like we're losing something and I guess like I don't know it used to be when the parties were like not ideologically coherent you could have like a Republican dad and a Democratic mom but now things are pretty much sorted out so it's like is it really a shock that people aren't choosing to like form lifelong partnerships based on diametrically opposed values and is that a bad thing? I kind of wonder if this might convert some people. Because like you said, people do stuff for pussy when they get lonely.
Starting point is 00:55:53 Do you know how much baseball I've watched? Do you know how many Beetlejuice videos I have watched? Do you know how many times I have had to say, baby, I love you, but I don't want to watch any Stephen A. Smith videos right now. You do things for people you love. So yeah, that's the article about how it's hard to date now as a Zionist. But, you know, I feel like I think you have the exact right take on this, which is that like, if we were on the verge of a second Holocaust, like, yeah, this article would not
Starting point is 00:56:34 be getting written. People would have much more pressing concerns rather than whether their hinge date was at an anti-Israel rally. Where the Gentile women at would not have been running in one of those radical Jewish newspapers. I just like, I am stuck on like the guy who said it was too cold for his thing to, like it's just like, it's like, are you a Brazilian MMA fighter who lost? What kind of excuse is that?
Starting point is 00:57:04 That's the easiest way to get physically close to somebody. It's better than like- Go have a hot toddy and canoodle. Yeah, it's better than like being at a scary movie together. Just like, oh no, I'm cold. Girls pretend to be colder than they are all the time, just to give them an excuse. Yeah, sorry, I didn't get a second date because we both ate
Starting point is 00:57:28 if we both ate cocaine tainted goat meat. And I was I was not in my best shape for the way in before the second date. Girls could withstand extreme gold. People leave their girlfriends outside all night and they're fine. girlfriends outside all night. They're fine. Alright, I think we should leave it there for today's episode. Do you have any plugs, any show business at the end of the episode here? No, I would just say, you know, if you didn't listen to the Movie Mindset episode from last week, we have set a release date for season two that's gonna come out April 24th. 10 episodes of Movie Mindset coming out at the end of
Starting point is 00:58:07 April. And I think that we're also not confirmed, but I think there's gonna be a live show in New York around then for Movie Mindset, probably a screening of some kind, a little talk back with Will and Hessa. So that will hopefully get set. I hope to see you all at the movies. I forgot. I will be joining Seeking Derangements on the fourth. If you are in Los Angeles at the Lodge Room, it should be very, very, very fun. Oh, I will be doing that show too. Yeah, right, right.
Starting point is 00:58:41 Yeah, I will be on that too. Good job, dude. Yes. Well, after that, you're getting kicked off. You know, Jacques been arranging this. So it's been a little chaotic. But yes, Lodge Room April 4th. All three of I'll be there in the audience. So yeah, we will all be at the Lodge Room April 4th in Los Angeles, hanging out with the Seeking Duranger crew. So if you're in one of the two cities in America that matter, you can see us.
Starting point is 00:59:06 Alright, everybody, till next time, bye-bye. Bye! Bye-bye. Alright, rap is the best. Step on your shoe, I'll be your nonstop love You don't want to go, you're nonstop miracle I'm your man, get out of my dreams Get in with my car
