Starting point is 00:00:00 All I wanna do is hit a choco All I wanna do is hit a choco Hello everybody, it's Choppo coming at you this Monday, April 28th. It's me and Felix and joining us once again is the great Alex Nichols. Alex, welcome back. What's up, bitches? Having a good time? Having a good time? Having a good time? I'd like to kick off this episode with some big fighter jet news. We've got fighter jet news.
Starting point is 00:00:57 And this is just some more fun in the Red Sea. And I feel like I'd like to run this by you. This literally just hit the newswire right before I came on, but it says here, USS Harry S. Truman lost an F-A-18E Super Hornet assigned to the Strike Fighter Squadron and a tow tractor as the aircraft carrier operated in the Red Sea April 28. All personnel are accounted for with one sailor sustaining a minor injury. The F-A-18E was actively under tow in the hangar bay when the move crew lost control of the aircraft. The aircraft and tow tractor were lost overboard. Sailors towing the aircraft took immediate action to move clear of the aircraft before it fell overboard. An investigation is
Starting point is 00:01:39 underway. That's good that they took immediate action and didn't just stand there and go, oh no, and get crushed by the aircraft. They were small victories for the US Navy nowadays. I think they should go down with the ship. You're right, they should. It's dishonorable. I mean, think about what the salary that those sailors are making versus what that F-18 Super Hornet cost.
Starting point is 00:02:00 I think they should have to justify the loss of that material with their lives. I always feel bad for those guys in the Navy because I play a lot of DCS where the F-18 is the most fun module and at this point, I would never take part in this mission. But if it was a different country, if we was, if it was, we weren't fighting on Saralot, they weren't there. If we were fighting Greece, you know, same place, same armaments, I would do a way better job than these guys because of what I've done in DCS. But whenever you load up your plane on like the launch bar and everything and on the carrier and you look at those like hunchbacks that are helping you like load up your plane. I always, same as when I see them in real life or read these
Starting point is 00:02:50 stories where it's like, you know, the ninth guy fell off the boat again. The one thing you're not supposed to do in the Navy. It's like, that's someone who saw Top Gun in theaters and thought they were going to be a pilot and they made them be a fucking plane TORGO. It's so sad. TORGO. Felix, I've had the exact same thought multiple times, even watching Top Gun, like in the opening credits or whatever, where you see the F-18s taking off from the aircraft carrier and they're like, there's the guy that just sort of gives them the salute or just points
Starting point is 00:03:23 down the runway before the afterburners kick in and the catapult shoots it off the dock or shoots it off the you know surface what do you what do you call it the the fuck what's like a bar. No, no, like what's the you know, like the top of a boat deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck deck The deck. The deck. The top. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry to all our fans of maritime terminology. Boat terms always confuse me. Well, that's why I rolled off the side when they turned. If it was like a concave thing, if it was like a classic boat where there's like a hole in the middle, it would be harder to take off, but it at least wouldn't just roll off the side when you turn. Could you imagine those asexual, aromantic gay guys Gilbert and Sullivan fucking up like this? They would never do it.
Starting point is 00:04:13 They would die. Yeah. They would get the lash. A British tar is a soaring soul. It fell apart when they got rid of the lash in Rum Rags. Just the rum and sodomy now. But you mentioned, if aircraft carriers had sort of a concave deck rather than one that you could fly planes off of, this wouldn't have happened.
Starting point is 00:04:36 Like a half pipe. Yeah. You can catch air off a half pipe. Don't tell me you can't. Well, I mean, that's kind of what a ski jump is. Yeah, even skiers can do it. This expensive plane can't take off at an angle. But there is an update to the story where it says here, a US official said
Starting point is 00:04:54 that initial reports from the scene indicated that the Truman made a hard turn to evade Huthy fire, which contributed to the jet falling overboard. Now, that could be the case. They could have been like swerving to avoid a missile or Pete Hegseth was at the captain's wheel and you know, had a few, knocked a few back before, you know. That was part of being in the Navy. Like, OK, a hard turn to avoid a missile, which I mean, OK,
Starting point is 00:05:22 you know how fast like an aircraft carrier goes? Like about two miles an hour. Yeah. Full steam. Like, was that a missile? Are you sure? If you could dodge it by turning an aircraft carrier, I don't know. I just like back to the plane Torgos because I feel like they're not unsung heroes, but
Starting point is 00:05:46 unsung tragic. Yeah. Do you ever think like, you know how cool it looks when the pilot is taking off and they do that hand signal? Yes, that's what I'm talking about. Yeah. Do you ever think that, like when they take off or when they get back and everyone's like, yeah, you know, yeah, you you fucking did it. You know, you launch their Christmas on that sandbar. Or when they succeed, like when they were, you know, fighting ISIS,
Starting point is 00:06:11 getting so many sloppy seconds. They do you think that like the plane torgos are like like the pilot who everyone loves. He said that I'm like I'm the best at like putting his helmet on. You know what I mean? Because it's like so individualized. It's like one guy flips down the guy's visor. One guy like pops a fin on one of the bombs. Is it like bad boys or caddies where you just get really into that culture
Starting point is 00:06:41 or are you just like he's you know, if he if the pilot died, he said, I'm so good at like zipping up his outfit that I could fly it one day. See, like to me, it's like, you know, I've had exactly the same thought. He looks like the guy on the deck of the aircraft carrier who does the cool hand motion and like points down the deck. Then the afterburners kick in, the catapult shoots the F-18 off of the deck. And I'm just thinking like you're watching that happen. You're just thinking like, man, I'd be so much funner to be in the cockpit right now.
Starting point is 00:07:10 It's hot as fuck on this deck. And it's just like you have to wave goodbye. And I just think like, does anyone just give them the finger after they get off the boat? Like, fuck you. Because like if you were the squire to a knight, like there's a isn't there a possibility that you could one day have your own horse or something? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's like the number one way to become a knight like there's a isn't there a possibility that you could one day have your own horse or so yeah yeah yeah that's like the number one way to become a knight is squire and the least guaranteed way to become a pilot is to
Starting point is 00:07:33 become the asshole on the deck who's they don't even wear military outfits you know they have like they have like the best that joggers wear when they're after dark. They're wearing like half of the Teletubby costume. They could not be farther away from being pilots. They're the one branch of the military where you're in active duty, you have to be as visible as possible. Like you have a propeller beanie flashing lights on your head.
Starting point is 00:08:09 You ever seen those light up like vests that they give dogs when they're outside after dark. My mom has a collar she puts around her dog that's like, like blinks like a Christmas light when she lets it out at night. I think like I am closer to being a pilot than those guys. Well, I don't know. They just have to get in the plane. They just have to let the intrus They just have to get in the plane. They just have to let the intrusive thoughts win
Starting point is 00:08:27 and get in the plane. Because once you're in the air, they can't stop you. They're not going to shoot down their own plane. They might not let you land. Same thing the LA's struggle with. Like, I could just drive out of here and never come back. Oh, oh. I'm behind the wheel of Alexis.
Starting point is 00:08:45 I have the keys. Do you think there's a guy in the Navy where his job is to edit that scene out of Ferris Bueller? Because they're not watching. Yeah, we can't let them see it. Too much Tomfoolery in that. Oh, well, so, yeah, just an update on how things in the Red Sea are going Like Trump said last week asked the Houthis how it's going. Well, I hope we should we should be asking the USS Harry Truman
Starting point is 00:09:11 How it's going they're up there They're having to do like a u-turn every new that the classic k-turn maneuver to it and are shedding f8 f18 Super Hornets left and right you're shutting them like ticks off the side of the boat Answer a lot has shut down like 30 fucking Predator drones at this point. It really I don't know. It could be going better for the Navy. I'm not a hater of, you know, I'm I hope everyone wins. But like God, we're we're sucking.
Starting point is 00:09:41 But like, you know, I still maintain that if I had to join any branch of the armed service, it would be the Navy. Right. I mean, you know, my family history there, you know, I still maintain that if I had to join any branch of the armed service, it would be the Navy. Right. I mean, you know, my family history there, you know, and I'm gay. Okay. Yeah. But like, you know, it's probably not so bad. Like, you know, those aircraft carriers are like office buildings. You know, got vending machines and stuff on them. We got TV. Got a lot of nice shit on there. It looks by the way. Have you ever been to the USS Intrepid? No, no, we should go. We should go. It's nice out now. We should we should make a trip
Starting point is 00:10:10 there. I think you'd love it. We should. Yeah, we should go. Did you know like, well, like all the all the aircraft carriers we have now are nuclear powered. And those are like, it was really like, diesel was like the shittiest thing for the Navy because that's like, that's when you were sleeping in like a morgue slot and it's still kind of sucks if you're not fully human, you're enlisted. But I've seen like, I've seen a bunch of videos, the office recorders are like kind of nice. It's kind of like, it's, um, you wouldn't like, except for the captain's area, that's like legitimately like a nice house
Starting point is 00:10:47 that's at at sea and being propelled by a nuclear reactor. But, um, it's like for something that's on a boat. It's pretty good nuclear summer, like nuclear submarines are still like, if you're in a nuclear submarine that carries nukes, you're still want to kill yourself all the time. But if it's a nuclear submarine that just like floats around, you're fine. It's like there's a lot of room. Wait, what nuclear? Okay. Well, you also you mean like an aircraft carrier is nuclear powered and it's around. I thought you were gonna be like the nuclear submarines that just float around. No, they have those. No, no, wait, wait. No, no, that is what I mean.
Starting point is 00:11:26 Why aren't they faster? Wait, which do you mean, Alex? The nuclear submarines or the nuclear aircraft carriers? Both of them. Shouldn't it be like a million miles an hour? The nuclear submarines are decently fast. Aircraft carriers are like, what could make that fast? Like, look at it.
Starting point is 00:11:42 It's like the least aerodynamic thing. More propellers. Make it pointy. could make that fat like look at it. It's like the least dynamic. More propellers. Yeah. Make it pointy. How about sales? Yeah, sales. What's the downside of having sales? You've got all those sailors just walking around doing nothing, looking at their
Starting point is 00:11:56 phone, might as well be climbing up the rigging in the storm. Falling off. You remember, you know how Howard Hughes tried to make the world's biggest plane and he like he constructed it out of like balsa wood. Yeah, it was kind of like a wood frame to keep the weight down so it could take off. We should have like, we should bring back wood. We should bring back wood. I know Trump wants to bring back ship building, but we should bring we should build the world's
Starting point is 00:12:21 biggest wood aircraft carrier. And it could like they could like instead of like planes, it could have gliders and things like that. I wish there was an insane billionaire who made a vehicles that explode. I wish there was someone like that around billions of dollars into vehicles that explode and don't work. It's so crit like Howard Hughes was like, he was so afraid of like germs and everything. And no kids like had like two girlfriends in his life.
Starting point is 00:12:52 But he's probably had like classic vaginal style sex more times than Elon Musk. Probably. More times than a lot of us to be honest. He was famous. He was going through them in Hollywood. He made movies. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:03 Yeah, I know. Yeah. It just just I don't know I'm still upset by that maling come thing which does seem like a thing Howard Hughes would do maybe towards the end of his life I don't know about when he was with Ava Gardner or Katherine Hepburn I've won see the av Aviator by Martin Scorsese. I used to think there was a laugh track in that movie until I realized that I just watched a really good cam when I was in high school. Why were people laughing?
Starting point is 00:13:33 Coming in with the milk? Yeah. Because Howard Hughes is a funny guy. I guess that it was like, man, people were really mean in the 40s. They were just laughing at this guy's problems Yeah, people didn't know what mental illness was back then. They just thought he was you know He's a guy who really cared about things being clean and was Thought black people caused cancer. I guess that gives you a lot of hours an audience member You can like change the popular memory of a movie if there's a guy's filming it for the internet, he's gonna put it on a torrent website and you just laugh through the whole thing. You just start reacting or like clapping during it. Like you're like baked in there. Oh my god, yeah. It's like a real
Starting point is 00:14:15 Mandela effect. Yeah, wasn't there a laugh track? I could have sworn there was a laugh track. You know, I mean I think movies should consider adding laugh tracks like because most people who watch movies even in theaters now are I just swore there was a laugh track. You know, I mean, I think movies should consider adding laugh tracks, like because most people who watch movies, even in theaters now, are just looking at their phone and like they need the subtitles on and they need the laugh track to sort of like be be goose into like being told what the reaction you're supposed to be having is. Yeah. Or at least have the sign that lights up.
Starting point is 00:14:40 Applause. I don't know. Theater profits are going down. You got to try anything. Yeah any idea You're not extending enough on your follow through Follow through is everything in golf just like life Okay moving on from naval terminology and the Red Sea I'd like to make there is one thing of note here today. That is that Chair of the House Oversight Minor that chair of the House Oversight,
Starting point is 00:15:06 minority chair of the House Oversight Committee, Representative Jerry Connolly is stepping away because the cancer that he was diagnosed with six months ago when he got the job has come back, it has returned. So he's stepping away from his duties as the house oversight chair for the Democratic Party and you remember that this was the this was the plum assignment that AOC was campaigning for so Well boys, what do we think is AOC getting the oversight chair?
Starting point is 00:15:39 now Jerry Connolly is you know, it's Inevitable seems to be taking its course? Well, I mean, let's not act like anyone could have predicted this. I actually hear he's healthy. I mean, we all got scared earlier this year when there were those pictures of Jerry Connolly leaving Camilla Cabello's house,
Starting point is 00:16:00 and he looked really, he looked like he was using it again. But he's been like good since then, and a lot of people actually think this is the family and they're trying to pressure him into retiring so he'll do resident seats and they can steal from him again. Oh, shit. So it's a really sad story. They said he had Havana syndrome because he was all fucked up over Camila Cabello. That's what they said.
Starting point is 00:16:35 Jerry Connolly is a 160-year-old father and he needs to let him out of that conservatorship right now. I hate how they shade him with every post skin on his private IG. Yeah, you made the decision to follow that. You had to request it. So you're kind of weird. The thing is, why step down? What is the difference?
Starting point is 00:16:54 Yeah, right? Yeah, there was that woman who was in a nursing home in Texas, and she was still in Congress. She was just in the dementia ward of a nursing nursing home and her staff didn't tell anybody. And she just didn't show up to votes for like a year. And then someone eventually spilled the beans and said, yeah, she doesn't know her own name. She's in a nursing home. We just brought her over there and didn't tell anybody. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:17:16 Like you can just do whatever. It doesn't matter. Like, so the rationale for Jerry Connolly is like, well, yeah, now he has to step down because he's dying. What was he doing before? I don't get that. This is, I think, was like a mean joke my dad told. There was like a guy who he knew who like retired from his job when he was like 80. And my dad was like who you know just die. You don't have time to waste. Yeah, who cares? Well I mean when they gave him this the chair of the Oversight Committee and like you know people thought it was going to be AOC because she had
Starting point is 00:18:00 been such a you know loyal soldier and that you know she has some energy and excitement and the youthful vigor of someone who's not 80 years old and dying of cancer. But the argument was that it's Jerry's turn. He's waited his whole career. He's waited his whole life and now he has cancer. Yeah, he's going to be dead in a couple of months. But basically, congressional Democrats run their caucus like a make a wish program I mean like honestly, I never heard like an affirmative defense of it like that. It's his turn thing That's the thing that like me me and Josh talked about because it's the only reason that you could think of for this
Starting point is 00:18:37 You know because just Democrats love that rationale for everything that it's like I get you know the the, the seniority rule that like being a Democrat is just like, it is like being an Archon is this service you do to the world. And the longer you do it, the more entitled you are. Because I, I mean, like, I don't know. You told me, did you ever see like any libs like affirmatively be like, no, this is why it's good for the job? Because the only thing that I ever got was people being like, it's mean to say he's a ghost of a guy who killed himself. Yeah. I mean, I mean, I saw I saw not so much like affirmative defenses of him in that position, but I saw I saw people being like, it's rude to jump in line. And that's
Starting point is 00:19:25 what AOC would be doing. Yeah. Yeah. I guess it's, yeah, it's... She's like, would it be up jumped? It's improper. It's a violation of the expectations of a guy who's served dutifully for 90 years. Him and Robert Byrd came up together. They were next up out of the Congress. If we don't give people those rewards, people aren't going to be motivated to stay in Congress for 60 years. And that's something we really want. We want people staying in Congress until they're in their 80s. Think about how loyal Jerry Connolly is. When he got in there, it was like Birth of a Nation, Woodrow Wilson.
Starting point is 00:20:05 They were having a lot of fun. And by the time he was like 130, they were like, you have to wear this, this Kente cloth. And he was like, OK, I'm a Democrat. It meant one thing in... In 1990. ...1912 is one thing now. I guess I bring this up slightly selfishly because a clip of an interview I did from like several months ago was resurfaced by the account post Leftwatch. We need to differentiate the political program from whatever AOC is doing with this.
Starting point is 00:20:39 Recently, like what she just lost her, oversight committee bid to head up that committee to a guy who's like 75 and has cancer. And I just see that as good. Buy the ticket, take the ride. Because like, I mean, this is what you wanted. This is what you wanted. So like, I mean, and, you know, it was her on stage at the DNC saying they're working tirelessly for a ceasefire. Give me a fucking break. That to me was like that.
Starting point is 00:21:07 To share when I shared my thoughts and I think I thought it was good that AOC didn't got passed over for that because, you know, I mean, I think it's instructive as to like, like, who do you think you're bargaining with? Like, you'll get nothing and like it. I'm sorry. Yeah. Yeah. Why did you defend Biden? Yeah. What was the point of that? Well, I mean, it's not even there anymore to give you anything.
Starting point is 00:21:25 How that was so we do remember that week when it was like clear that everyone in the party was like, yeah, he he threw up on, you know, like I died today. And AOC and Bernie were like, he's the most liberal guy. What the fuck was that? Yeah, like they were afraid of him. And then a week later, he steps down. I know what the calculation was. It was like, oh, like they were so afraid of him. And then a week later, he steps down. I know what the calculation was. It was like, oh, if they say Biden has to go, he'll be obstinate. And then the Democrats will blame them. That's never fucking happened.
Starting point is 00:21:55 Well, I mean, in the clip that was shared, I said this in the context of her. Co signing a particularly murderous lie that the Biden-Harris administration was, quote, working tirelessly for a ceasefire in Gaza, which, you know, like, I don't know if you guys saw this, but DropSight, our friends at DropSight, summarized a big investigation, a big investigative piece by the Israeli news channel 13, which contains this quote
Starting point is 00:22:22 from former Israeli ambassador Michael Herzog. "'God did the State of Israel a favor that Biden was the president during this period. We fought in Gaza for over a year and the administration never came to us and said cease fire now. It never did and that's not to be taken for granted. So, I mean, look, like this won't be news to anyone who listens to this show, but like in the context of AOC, you know, putting her credibility and that of her supporters behind that on stage at the DNC, like I think one should ask the question if you think that like she's only doing the best job she can within a rigged political system, what she
Starting point is 00:22:56 got and by extension you and her constituents got in return for supporting Biden and that particularly murderous evil lie about working tirelessly for a ceasefire when ever I mean like it should be well beyond any shadow of a doubt that they were doing no such thing. Yeah, and it's like that there's no fucking defense for that. Because if if she actually believed that it is like, okay, then either they tell you nothing, which means like, what were you going to get out of this if you fucking sold out this comprehensively and she won?
Starting point is 00:23:30 Or like you knew that this was complete bullshit. You said this because you knew of the liability that the Biden and Harris Israel strategy was with younger voters and you thought this would be a fig leaf to them. Either is just like, OK, you have fucking no business doing this. And, you know, like I, you know, people were, you know, of course, perpetually mad at me for this. And that's fine. But I guess like I'd like to say, like, for the context of what I said, like, if it seems like I'm being too hard on AOC, it's because she's closer to my political point of view. She's someone in power who
Starting point is 00:24:09 is closer to my political point of view than, let's say, Chuck Schumer is. So it's like, it's because of that, that I find it so especially galling that she would lend whatever credibility she has to like this, I said a murderous and evil lie or is just simply too stupid to have the job so it's like yeah I do hold her to a higher standard than I do Chuck Schumer or John Fetterman and yeah because like it's like anything like I'm not seeing I'm not singling her out because like I hate her because for some I don't know some vague opaque reason like I'm singling her out because she singles herself out as like you know the most prominent young voice in politics in this country that you
Starting point is 00:24:54 know like I said like on balance like go down the list of the things she supports or the cause you know things she stands for is closer to what I believe in than any other Democrat but it's like because that, that I'm going to demand that she have to that she explain herself on this issue before any any, you know, future support going forward. Also, I mean, you know, to that end, what is this this strategy of like every few years, we're going to go out there and say there needs to be a new type of Democratic Party where we care about working issues.
Starting point is 00:25:28 And then one way or another they get screwed, they lose, whatever. They're not able to actually exert any influence on the Democratic Party because they will not meaningfully challenge it. Seemingly then we'll get four years of whatever shitty Democrat, we'll just do this over and over and over again. At what point does that do? Can you look at that and go, okay, this is worth it? I mean, that the counter argument, right, is always left wing people are fucking allergic to power. What do you call this power? Would you call this
Starting point is 00:26:02 anything? Yeah, like the follow up to that is power to do what? Like, I mean, if AOC has power but uses that power to say, to lie about what the Biden administration is doing to Gaza, then like, I don't think that's power. I think that's power that should be critiqued rather than celebrated or simply like to look the other way. Yeah, the only way you can accomplish things is by mimicking what the establishment is doing in doing it with their permission What's the point then? Yeah, that's the thing is like I don't I've said the last time we talked about this like I think Bernie has like said the more Disgraceful fucking things like on a moral level between the two in the past like five years, especially on Israel
Starting point is 00:26:44 but um, I think that the read of ASE that she is like a cynical operator, I actually fucking wish that was true because if she was totally cynical and like completely just out for herself, she would at some point realize that there is more to be gained just on an objective level between like, I don't know, this is between playing Russian roulette with like two bullets in the gun versus playing Russian roulette with a semi-auto. She would get more out of actually challenging
Starting point is 00:27:17 the Democratic party as an oppositional figure to it than doing this shit just forever, I guess. Which is, you know, like, is which is to like take her credibility among a youthful progressive constituency and using it to just be like, get on board. You know, get on board by Biden's our guy. And or, you know, Kamala is great. And they're working tirelessly to end the war in Gaza. Like, I mean, like, yeah, like that's that's that's having power, I suppose.
Starting point is 00:27:44 Did you speaking of Biden, did you guys see that clip of Elizabeth Warren talking about him the other week? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Now, well, that was amazing from laughing. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I didn't I didn't notice anything. I didn't know. Oh, he didn't. He didn't shoot his pants in front of me. Do you regret saying that President Biden had a mental acuity?
Starting point is 00:28:05 He had a sharpness to him. You said that up until July of last year. I said what I believe to be true. And you think he was as sharp as you? I said I had not seen decline. What was that show, by the way? Yeah, I have no idea. Yeah, I have no idea.
Starting point is 00:28:25 I don't know. It was some guy with like 51 subscribers on YouTube. Which if you can trick a senator into coming on that, good for you. That's a pretty, that's a good get. You guys haven't had her on the show. That's true. I think you can like do that with olds. You can be like, hey, I'm on AOL.
Starting point is 00:28:41 Yeah, I'm one of Gen Z's top influencers. Yeah. Well, I think like the Democrats now since losing the election, clearly have this kind of mandate to sort of communicate to the dumb dumb demographic by going on podcasts. Like, and I don't know who Elizabeth Warren was talking to, but like, it was she was just like, look, he was standing. Okay, I saw him standing. like, Look, he was standing. Okay, I saw him standing. And then and then as you said, Alex, like the guy's just like, Come on, what are you talking about? And then she just like basically kind of cracked. She tries to bottle her own laughter. She can't handle it. Well, that's a good point. You know, I suppose standing is not not exactly the indication of mental
Starting point is 00:29:22 fitness. But, um, amazing. They made people do that. Yeah, they made everyone do Weekend at Bernie's with a clearly demented guy. They all had to do it for what? Like, what was the point of that? What the fuck? It's insane. And, you know, like, it's funny, though, because like, these are the same people that that say over and over again, that Trump and MAGA are a personality cult of blind dedication
Starting point is 00:29:46 to dear leader. But like, I mean, come on, like they have elements of that in their own coalition. And the point of Biden was that he's just like a soulless representative of the Democratic Party establishment. He's just the party. He's like the 20th century Democratic Party. But then we have to worship him. Like why, who cares about him then? He's just the party. He's like the 20th century Democratic party, but then we have to worship him? Like why, who cares about him then? He's just a placeholder. He's just a Democrat.
Starting point is 00:30:11 He's like a Democrat your parents voted for. That's all he means. Why does it have to be him? It is, yeah. Out of anyone to make a personality called about, it is like, I don't know, it's like dying to protect like the staples in your suburb. Yeah. Felix, speaking of outreach to the dumb, dumb demographic, did you see that
Starting point is 00:30:30 Pete Buttigieg went on the podcast of your favorite comedian, Andrew Schultz? Yo, fan. Yo, is you man? Shit, I've been in a 5% nation. Is you gay? That's right. That's Andrew Schultz talking to him. Well, I didn't, I't see talk to you. I
Starting point is 00:30:47 Didn't see any of I I didn't see any of Pete's interference on it But I did appreciate Andrew Schultz his comments on why he voted for Donald Trump, which was like, you know Well, I was a kid Democrats were the ones we get in pussy Oh, but like now they don't so I can't be fucking with They got pussy at the Oval Office and said, what it said, whatever the fuck you is, why say. Like, you know, his problem was that Obama and Biden didn't have they didn't have sex scandals in the Oval Office. Yeah. And he also said that Democrats used to support rap music, but now they don't anymore. What does that even mean?
Starting point is 00:31:23 Like, yeah, I guess Joe Biden didn't really. I mean, I, they kind of did. It's just not really notable. Like when, when Megan thee stallion goes to a Kamala event, it's like, oh, whatever. Like, yeah, of course that would happen. But then when little pump goes to the Donald Trump rally and he says, little pimp, little pimp, he came to my rally. Like that's, that's a clippable moment.
Starting point is 00:31:43 That's memorable. He came to my rally. Like that's a clippable moment. That's memorable. Lil Baby met with Kamala when he made that like very, you know, he had that protest song that he wrote on the car ride to the White House. Does anyone remember that? The Lil Baby.
Starting point is 00:31:57 Not in the slightest. I don't remember Lil Baby. It was called like, we gotta make a change. And it was like, everyone's got to vote. Politics is a moat. We were, we're drowning in the water, but it's about to get harder. It's like one of the worst protest songs ever, but, um, he met with Kamala because of it, but that was when like little baby was really cool.
Starting point is 00:32:22 Um, it like cooler than anyone Donald Trump met with. All the guys that Trump met with, besides 4G out of blow, were guys who had already went insane a lot of the time. Yeah, people on their way out. Yeah. Even Lil Wayne. No disrespect to him, but if it was 2008, he would not be posing with Republicans. That's a good point.
Starting point is 00:32:55 I do want to, the next piece I want to talk about is about, you know, like on the topic of young people and Donald Trump, there is a profile in the New York Times this week about the headline is, She's Young, Trump Friendly, and Has a White House Press Pass. This is about this lady, Natalie Winters, who's now in the sort of like one of the kind of like right wing streamer influencers. She works with Steve Bannon, who's now in the White House press corps which is you know like a development that I find encouraging actually. Did you guys see Tim Poole ask a question to the White House press pool? I mean when I say a question it was really more of a comment than a question.
Starting point is 00:33:38 Did you know Tim Poole met with Netanyahu? Really? Like, yeah, I mean. Did he think he was wearing a yarmulke? Wow, this guy must be really Jewish. Yeah, he's got the biggest yarmulke I've ever seen. Look how big it is, he must be ultra-Orthodox. Look how big that kappa is, yeah. Remember when Trump was talking about Biden, and he was like, biggest mask I've ever seen.
Starting point is 00:34:03 If that rule applied with yarmulkes. Yeah. Like some guy with a cowboy hat is the most Jewish man on the planet. It's the most Orthodox man on the planet. But are you guys familiar with this woman, Natalie Winters? Yeah, I don't. I think I've seen the name.
Starting point is 00:34:20 Yeah, she's like, I don't know. We've all been to the Atlanta airport. That's what I'll say. I don't know. I don't want to be gross, but it's's like, I don't know. We've all been to the Atlanta airport. That's what I'll say. I don't know. I don't want to be gross, but it's just like, do you remember last time when Trump was president and there were all types of like evil babes? And now it's like, oh my gosh. It's well, she's not evil.
Starting point is 00:34:39 Yeah, it's just boring. Yeah, it's just, they just, I'm not saying ugly. I'm just saying it's like, I've been to the airport. Every time I watch a Trump thing with all these like new influencers, I just feel like I'm in line at TSA. Most normal, stupid people I've ever seen. Well, there does seem to be like a sort of a Trump 2 look
Starting point is 00:34:58 to the women in his orbit. You know, I think he has sort of a type, but I just want to read from the beginning of this piece here. It begins like this. The waitress was pouring tap water, but Natalie Winters was quick to ask for bottled. No fluoride for our dear dinner guests, she said, gesturing to me. Only filtered water and pesticide-free limes. Real interesting. This was in a movie from like 70 years ago. Did they give you like plain tap water at a restaurant like that?
Starting point is 00:35:28 I mean, I guess she's right. Like if you're at a fancy restaurant in D.C. and they're giving you water, it probably should come through a filter. I don't know. I have water straight from the sink. I always get tap water. They always say tap or sparkling. I always say tap. Yeah, I mean, sparkling. It's it's harder to drink that. The bubbles are really thirsty. Yeah, but like you can that. The bubbles come out. If you're really thirsty. But like, you can't really like
Starting point is 00:35:47 chug it down if you're really thirsty. Like, it has its place, but it's no replacement. You've never done that? You've never done that? Like you have you ever had like, I don't know. I did. I had to go to the hospital. The bubbles hurt too much. I was coughing and throwing up and crying and it was horrible. But I like the beginning of this profile because it provides like a glimpse into sort of restaurant
Starting point is 00:36:11 etiquette in DC. So yeah, she requests from the waiter, only filtered water and pesticide free limes. And I'm just thinking like, you know, it's like an Ace Rostean moment. Like, you know, like a giant bag of limes. Be like, I want you to check each one of these for pesticide. The ones that have pesticide, put them in this bucket. And then the ones with no pesticide, put them in the other. I assume most restaurants get all of their citrus fruit from one supplier. And I don't know how many citrus farms don't use pesticide.
Starting point is 00:36:39 Yeah, I don't know. That's one of those fruits where you're not really eating the skin. Yeah. So it doesn't matter. That's true. Yeah. Oh, but she goes on here. She says the article continues. We were sitting in the back corner of Butterworth's, a Capitol Hill bistro that has become a destination for friends and supporters of President Trump.
Starting point is 00:36:56 Stephen K. Bannon, Mrs. Winter's current boss, has hosted private events there. Her former boss, Raheem Kassam, the editor in chief of the National Pulse, is an investor. The menu that night featured lamb tartare, oysters brulee, and pork cheeks. Ms. Winters and I had met for dinner or so I had thought. Honestly, she said, I'm probably not going to eat because that's my brand. I don't eat at restaurants because I don't like the seed oils that they use. Oh my God. Can you get something new?
Starting point is 00:37:26 Oh come on. Virtue signal. Yeah. Just because you have a reporter there doesn't mean you have to do that. For me, it's just like all of them look like they're at the airport. They all look like just normal idiots I see all the time. None of them even have an interesting thing. All the Trouble One people had some weird, you know, Roger Stone's a swinger,
Starting point is 00:37:49 Steve Bannon was dying. They all, Hope Hicks is the most beautiful woman ever, Faith Goldie was beautiful. But now it's just like, I could go to the airport and hear this conversation from a woman who looks exactly like this. Yeah, there aren't cranks anymore. I've seen a million fucking idiots pretend that they go out and ask if they're seed oils
Starting point is 00:38:12 and stuff. Yeah. It's just generic influencers following the trends of the year. Yeah. It's just everyone has been looking for seed oils since like 2022 and they look exactly the same. I don't give a shit. Like, it used to be people that were internet savvy. They had to have some sort of horrible debilitating mental illness.
Starting point is 00:38:34 If you were someone that was like filming like 10 years ago, people that were filming themselves and like trying to get famous on Twitter and stuff. Those people were interesting like us, but then. But then now they make so many of them that they're just generic 21-year-olds. Oh my God. Even like Brianna Wu, right? It was like to become- Yeah, singularly insane person. Yeah. To break out of the mold, to become someone who we knew, she went on TV and was
Starting point is 00:39:01 like, I made a game about these sexy cats who live in a space station and a sniper tried to kill me. Like that's, I mean, she, she came up with something I'd never heard before. And it's just like this fucking, this boring. Even she's boring now. She's just a generic neoliberal Zionist. It's not even interesting. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:24 Oh my God. It's so depressing. Yeah. But she's going to talk about seed oils in like five years, too. That'll be your next thing. Everything's just standardized. Everything's just like, it's put in a box where you're just following the trending topics, the trending buzzwords. It's also mechanized and soulless. To that point, like, I think it's interesting that this DC bistro, Mrs. Butterworth's or whatever, is frequented by Steve Bannon and a and basically a co-owner of the restaurant is her former boss at the National Palace. But like, if that's the case, why are they still using seed oils to cook with? Yeah, like, what the fuck? And what's probably because it's more expensive and the people in the kitchen are like, fuck you. Fuck you. We're not doing this bullshit. Because they used to get mad at stuff like that. Like,
Starting point is 00:40:08 oh, I have allergies. Can you take the gluten out of this? Can you, excuse me, I only have free range eggs in my diet. Like, fuck you. I'm going to pour bacon grease into your food. Fucking stupid lib. It's probably not very easy to get that over with the kitchen to say, you got to take this out and you only have to have pesticide free organic limes from this one farm. If you could source it from Amish country, that would be great. They're like, fuck you, eat a burger. I used to date a girl who had a severe peanut allergy. She had to carry an EpiPen around with her because
Starting point is 00:40:45 she could, you know, like her throat would close up if she even got a whiff of peanut oil cooking. So to eat at a restaurant, it would have to be like a zero peanut oil establishment because even if a utensil that they use to prepare food in the kitchen touches a molecule of peanut oil, it could potentially kill her. These people are like that now, except they don't have any actual allergy. It's just something they read. Yeah. And here's what I'm saying about this is like, if you were going out to a restaurant and like, you know, even if it's for an interview or whatever and like,
Starting point is 00:41:17 you know, like I'm looking at the menu here, lamb tartare, pork cheeks, oysters, brulee, that all sounds quite good to me. And it's sort of the thing like, like, you know, if you were raised in the type of house that had like huge two liter bottles of soda in the fridge and like, you know, Lucky Charms cereal every morning for breakfast, I would say that's probably like not the healthiest lifestyle to, you know, imbue to a kid. But at the same time, it's like, do you really want your kid never to have soda?
Starting point is 00:41:43 Like, you know, at the pizza party, like you're out for dinner at a restaurant, like you can have a little seed oil, you know, treat yourself to a nice. They can have diet soda. Yeah. Well, that's I mean, when people are like, oh, there used to be a center in this. That is the one thing they did used to be like a center on food. I mean, I grew up in a house where it's like we had that horrible like organic brown bread. Oh my god.
Starting point is 00:42:09 I had a friend whose parents were like they only bought the bread with nuts in it. Oh my god. Yeah. Oh god. Oh yeah. We ate the same food that Seth Bullock ate every day. We had that shitty stir peanut butter and unsalted almonds. My dad would bring this horrible pro on a lunch to his work
Starting point is 00:42:27 It was listen to this It was like four raw almonds Like the unaltered horrible spongy brown organic bread with the shitty stir peanut butter. I hate that oily peanut butter. I hate that. I hate that. I hate it. Three apricots. Skippy only for me. Three apricots. That was like his glucose for the day. And then a warm, a warm seltzer that had just been nicely warming up in that, in that bag.
Starting point is 00:42:59 He was white Obama. I, he was. I mean. The Chicago guy, you know. I think he was, I think he was Eli Weisel's knight judging by that lunch. I didn't talk lifestyle influencer. Remo Levy's If This Is A Lunch. I don't know why he did it, but you know, we had all that in our house. And my mom was like an amazing cook and still is.
Starting point is 00:43:29 But it was also like on Friday we get to have soda. That was centrism, you know? Yeah. You had to expose them to it. Or else they go to college and they just go crazy. They get the fresh middle 100. They OD on Mountain Dew their first week. It's like the people that are raised on abstinence and then they go crazy. They get the freshman to 100. They OD on Mountain Dew their first week. It's like the people that are raised on abstinence and then they go to church camp and they come back pregnant. It's like that with soda.
Starting point is 00:43:51 Yeah, that happens to every real life Jennifer Melfi's kid. They go to fucking college, they go to any university and they're like, oh my God, white bread. And that's all they eat. I got exposed to white bread when I went to non-Jewish camp. You have to, it's just like peanuts. I love that you specifically went to non-Jewish. What is with Jews and regular bread? I don't, I mean, bread is like, we didn't get bread at this vital time. We didn't have time to make it.
Starting point is 00:44:20 And it really, we really got a complex about it. Going to the article. I mean, like it just basically some like not very interesting details about her life. Growing up in Santa Monica, California, the daughter of a physician father and a stay at home mother, she attended a Harvard Westlake an elite prep school in LA, you know, pretty pretty standard like career path of someone who goes into like,
Starting point is 00:44:40 you know, political media, she says of working for Steve Bannon's war room. It's very gonzo, which I like she said, I says of working for Steve Bannon's war room. It's very gonzo, which I like. She said, I think of it as an IQ test every day. You fail. What? That's a really dumb thing to say. Oh, my God. Like you're rotating shapes. You're doing word problems.
Starting point is 00:45:00 The same like it's just always the same person. Oh, no way. Your dad was like some insurance guy or something and you grew up upper middle class, went to a private school and now all you care about is politics stuff. No way. I thought your dad would be one of those guys that turned into those canned turkeys in Iraq. And I thought your mom would have sold you. And I thought, you know, I thought you lived in carnival and Steve Bannon saved you and that's why you got into politics No, you're just like all these other fucking people. Yeah, like how is this interesting at all? Why it's not like there are people on the right who are who do come from sort of an interesting background
Starting point is 00:45:39 like they used to be hippies or some shit like that and then there are all these ways that people who are in traditionally not Republican demographics, they came over to the party. But someone like that, like a doctor's daughter who grew up in the suburbs and went to prep school, like a young blonde woman, like how is that interesting? Why is that even worth writing about? Why can't they interview Mead, Mead Skelton? Yeah. He's an interesting person. Yeah. He's a great interviewer. He tells you about like his succubus dream and how he wants to have a girl room and a boy room and all this amazing stuff. Wait, what's the girl room and the boy room? Oh, he had a video. He's this guy who's like a middle-aged closeted gay
Starting point is 00:46:23 man who's a Nazi and he loves the Confederacy. No, he's one of my favorite characters and I love his songs. He had a video about like what he wants from his future wife and he said like, I'll have my boy room and then she'll have her girl room. We'll sleep in separate bedrooms just off the job. Yeah, yeah. Okay. I remember that. I remember that. I love Mead. Okay, I remember that. I love Meade. Meade's like, he's like, he's like, um, Lindsey Graham's looper. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:54 It's like, I wonder if they see each other and they're like, they both think the other's life is terrible because Meade's like, he's a cuck who has to be nice to Jews. I'm cool. And Lindsey Graham's like, Oh my God, like he's, he's, Oh my God. Does he know how gay he sounds? So gay and he has to sleep next to his mom's corpse. I threw mine out years ago. I just want to get to the end of the Natalie Winters piece.
Starting point is 00:47:19 Because like, yeah, like it just goes on about like, you know, her political awareness is when they had a walk out for the parkland shooting at her high school. And she was like, why are you even doing this? That was like 10 years ago. Yeah. That was kind of years ago. It gets mad at that when they say we're walking out of class to protest, whatever. OK, absolutely. I don't care what it is. Yeah. And don't you say the classes are like making you gay?
Starting point is 00:47:45 Yeah. Yeah. And don't you say the classes are like making you gay. Yeah. Yeah. School sucks. The classes that are making you gay and they're like, they're teaching you that like, I don't know, something wrong about slavery that it was, that they're saying it wasn't fun enough. That they didn't like it. They didn't like it. Hey, we can't, we can't leave our gay indoctrination classes that's making me trans that I hate and I'm going to kill our teacher. This was 10 years ago, lady. Yeah. Did anything happen to you since then?
Starting point is 00:48:13 Fucking Jesus. Yeah. Anybody who gets radicalized like that in high school, that just sucks so bad. I, you shouldn't even admit to that. If you got radicalized by some bull, like You had an argument with your teacher or something. And that's that's what my politics are defined by as a 30 year old. Like you got to make something up. There's a great quote from Steve Bannon here.
Starting point is 00:48:34 He he says of her, she's essentially a nerd at heart. Oh, yeah, sure. And just close got the article, he says, at Butterworth's true to her word, Ms. Winters had only bottled water during our three hour talk. Three hours and you don't even get an app. This was really worth you getting on a plane, writing this. Like, why did you do that? She had sparkling water.
Starting point is 00:48:58 The most boring fucking woman anyone has ever met. Holy shit. This is just this article is like Boring Woman has meal. It doesn't have. Why does this exist? Boring Woman doesn't have meal. Yeah. Just go to one of their houses and just let them talk to you for three hours. It says she said she has had two drinks in her life and has never done drugs. I like to think that like her having a bottle of water at this interview was the second drink she's had in her life. Somehow she's managed to live without liquids this long. Yeah, she absorbs dew.
Starting point is 00:49:30 You're really going to love how unique and sparkling this person is and how interesting she is as a news subject here. She also has a biting lifestyle brand. Items for sale include a tank top with more insecure than the border plastered across the front and a tote that reads a little conspiratorial. Oh, you're really, oh, you're really schizo. You love the elected president who loves Israel. Yeah, I'm crazy. I heard about Jeffrey Epstein and Diddy. I read Wikipedia. It's really crazy stuff. You really have to get deep into the content minds
Starting point is 00:50:08 to find out about that shoot. I'm on the dark web Wikipedia. It's a crazy schizo fucking site. The only problem with it is it's too biased against fucking Israel. But then if they fixed that, it would be the perfect schizo thing for lunatics like me who drink La Croix. Oh my fucking God kill me kill yourself let's go to the restaurant and
Starting point is 00:50:31 drink fucking pure seed oil and kill ourselves you fucking airport idiot fucking moron shit I hate her so much. Her cable news is the most she's inspired out of anyone and it's just because she's there I've seen 50 other people like this that all have articles about them. I went to, I went to fucking Shake Shack with Tamami Gertz. Her dad's a lawyer. She's never had beer. How am I like, stop fucking making these people. Give me more needs. Give me a polymath musician gay guy who's never held a hand. Yeah, we need some more crazy people. Jesus Christ. Oh, by the way, Felix, speaking of people who keep having articles written about them,
Starting point is 00:51:17 I did notice the other day, Dateline Thursday, April 24th, there's another article about the pronatalist couple who like named their kids Magnus Industrius Rex and like, you know, want everyone to have eight kids, eight, nine, 10 kids. There's another article about that. Them and the guy that measures his son's penis, they pay for so many articles. Oh my God. Like they're the only reason that print media is still functioning, that they can even pay out salaries because those people are just doing paid media every single day.
Starting point is 00:51:45 This is like a monkey's paw thing. In like 2018, people were like, I'm sick of reading about like the new 17 year old white rapper who like, you know, got me too. So I hate this. Okay. You got your wish. There's only three articles now and they get posted every day. They keep writing it.
Starting point is 00:52:03 It's the disgusting, ugly couple that hit their kids that are raising their blind ugly children to have CTE. And not in the traditional way by getting them to play football. They're doing it. No they're born with it. Yeah, they're rocking those kids world. And, you know, the new like boring woman who she hates, she hates, you know, the new type of oil that you're not supposed to drink. And the guy who plays with this pig. But I kind of like him. He's like the only one I kind of like. Yeah, I fuck with him. I fuck with that pig. I fuck with his pee. But I kind of like him. He's like the only one I kind of like. Yeah, I fuck with him. I fuck with that.
Starting point is 00:52:46 I fuck with that guy. I keep thinking like there's a really bad article about him that's gonna come out where it's like, he measured a kid who wasn't his son's penis. And I'll have to stop supporting him, but it hasn't happened yet. Well, you gotta have a control group. Oh wait, I thought you were...
Starting point is 00:53:06 Well, does this sound like 21? You gotta measure every other 21-year-old's penis around the world. I love that like, I love the idea that measuring your son's erections contributes meaningfully to prolonging your life. You know, he's like, we gotta get all the data. We gotta get all the data. I just like that he's doing it like every day. I mean, that is really like fucking up the sun because it's like, oh, didn't get any bigger after age 21. Yeah. Mine did.
Starting point is 00:53:36 Oh, I just quick correction. I mean, when I said I fuck with him, I thought Felix, I thought you were referring to the guy who drinks his urine and like, you know, a pre come and you know, probably shit that that guy who's like talks about ancient Celtic ways of piss drinking and come guzzling. But for health reasons, I like Brian Johnson. I don't like I don't I think he's evil. No, I know who you're exactly you're talking about that like awesome, like bald freak. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. No, yeah, there are no like articles about him. Yeah, what are the articles about that like awesome like bald freak. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The bald guy. No, yeah, there are no like articles about him. Yeah, what are the articles about that guy? It's a hard pitch. There's this guy that eats his own poop.
Starting point is 00:54:12 There's this crazy guy that eats poop and comes in his own mouth. I think it's just he's loads and piss. I think the New York Times magazine would be a great home for this. Like how is that like how is that worse than this? Natalie Jessica article would be more interesting. I didn't even get to the end of this
Starting point is 00:54:32 article here, because I mean, if you if you were if you were worth feeling her before, I mean, like, just keep an open. Oh, is Shoudy bad? Shoudy is real bad. So it says here, God, her cable news network of choice is MSNBC, which she watches partly to generate material. She said that in another world, she might have been a poetry professor.
Starting point is 00:54:53 I always joke in my day to day life. I'm really a I'm a lib at heart, she said. That's a really no way. You fucking idiot. Well, when you're you mean in your personal life, you live in such a way that, you know know maximizes your own individuality and enjoyment but in your day-to-day political life you sort of are you know You believe the opposite and that evidence of how she's a lib at heart
Starting point is 00:55:14 She goes she also loved Barbie and in greed with the monologue delivered by America Ferrara in which her character says it's literally impossible to be a woman but miss winter's caveats It's also really hard to be a man. She added that scores of women younger than she had asked her not only for career advice, but also for tips on how to be like. I love it. He's like, is that really? I'm a little bit hard because I liked the movie Barbie, but I'm a based mega conservative because I add the caveat.
Starting point is 00:55:43 It's really hard to be Ken, too They asked for tips to be like first of all, no, they didn't Everyone knows how to do that. You live in the airport You sleep in the airport wash your face in the sink that like a really bad kid God hid they changed his diaper You only eat like those legume snacks they offer at the airport. You sleep on the plane, you drink the water in the JetBlue bathroom.
Starting point is 00:56:11 Just hold your breath, hold your breath, stand up, pass out, spin around, get high off that, get addicted to that. And then you can be as fucking boring as this piece of shit that I hate. I like I I would given the choice between like, you know, hearing about her lunch and like listening to the ad. I would we didn't hear about her lunch, Felix. We heard nothing about her lunch.
Starting point is 00:56:37 All right. That was the point of the article. She doesn't eat food. She's probably in a by the way, I didn't like the beginning of the article. She said not eating is sort of my brand. Yeah, that's another really... Oh, that's unique. Yeah, what a unique thing. A conservative young woman who's anorexic. A conservative young woman who grew up in Southern California. Wow. Do you do Coke too? But it's like, why did they go to a restaurant so she could be there and be like, wow, I sure don't like these places. Yeah, so she can say, yeah, I like, wow, I sure don't like these places.
Starting point is 00:57:05 Yeah. So she can say, yeah, I don't like restaurants. I don't like eating. I don't like the water they have here or the food. And if you're taking up a table at Mrs. Butterworth's restaurant for three hours and not ordering anything, that's also kind of stealing, you know? That's rude to other patrons and the staff of the restaurant. What do they know? They're vile seed oil merchants trying to poison us. I was talking to someone last week about why RFK really gets our goat besides the obvious. Well, the way he loves it sounds. Yeah, killing the wife thing, stealing her body, his other rapes. But, you know.
Starting point is 00:57:47 Allegedly. Yeah, allegedly we should say. Is it allegedly if they're like, hey, did you do this? And he's like, okay, who hasn't? Okay, sometimes I was bad. Well, that was his response. They were like.
Starting point is 00:58:02 He said, I'm no choir boy. You did this to a 16 year old babysitter and he's like, I don't know choir boy. I'm no choir boy. I'm more of a priest. If you catch my drift. But, you know, we were talking like, why is this so annoying now? And it was because, you know, this used to be cordoned off. This used to be if you were into this shit where like, Hey everyone, there's a new type of bug that you can like swallow whole and he's going to clean your
Starting point is 00:58:30 bowels or don't take the pet vaccine because all the electricity will fucking stick to you. Like all this fucking idiot shit that you would see, you know, every, on every like, you know, every time that you like went onto a work computer that didn't have ad block, these were the kind of articles, like the AdSense articles. And it was cornered off to Facebook and like that part of the world, the stupidest world,
Starting point is 00:58:55 and it was fine, like whatever, I don't care what they do. They can have fun. Like chemtrail people. Yeah, but now it's like saying the Pledge of Allegiance at a public school. It's like we all have to get up every day and hear this fucking idiot talk about like what type of mulch he's putting in his water. And it's like, and they still don't do anything about it. Yeah. Like why aren't we banning all these chemicals then if they're also dangerous? I know that you don't ban the chemicals, you just tell people
Starting point is 00:59:24 and so that they can avoid it so that when they die of being poisoned by them, it's their fault. Yeah, it's like I am aware that you need a passport to go to certain countries. I've paid my taxes. I've done all this stuff in my all this stuff that the normals do. The stupids cannot. You know, I've gone to a place where they speak a different language and I didn't just take off my clothes
Starting point is 00:59:48 and sprint through a plate glass window. I should not have to hear about this or know these people, but it is forced into our life. It's like, you know how those Ukrainians are like, it's so awful how they made us eat like Russian ice cream. They colonized our mind. Like all those crazy ones who live in Canada now. I used to be like, that's so, like, what are you talking about?
Starting point is 01:00:13 But now I know how they feel. That's what it's like having RFKignity how stupid all this is, but also just how boring it is. They're just saying the same shit to each other and to you and the fucking seed oils. Yeah, conspiracies aren't interesting anymore. Your Barbie's based. So much of the weird shit, the esoteric shit, it just isn't interesting anymore. Like the Epstein stuff, joking about Epstein, that's not funny anymore.
Starting point is 01:00:49 Any of the alternative health shit, that's not funny anymore. All the crueler aspects of the internet, that's not funny anymore. It's all just been mainstreamed and it's boring now and it's ruined. There's nothing interesting or edgy. It's like, look at my crazy,psi didn't hang himself ugly Christmas sweater. We're going to play conspiracy trivial pursuit where we figure out what fluoride is. And it's the most boring people in the world being like, I'm schizo. I'm so schizo guys. I just read some Wikipedia articles. I'm freaking schizo. I'm crazy.
Starting point is 01:01:24 Have you made it? It's like, have you met a real schizo? First of all, they become obsessed with rap. They do and then they post about them and they're like, we gotta kill all these people on the streets. Why aren't the cops just shooting these people on site? Anyway, I'm schizo. I'm the only guy who's been accosted by all types of actual schizophrenics and they all rap at me. And I will never get them killed by the police like these guys. Well, you know, Felix, that's why that's why Republicans support rap music now. You should be the Democrats to support schizophrenic people but now it's like yo, what's up? The Republicans have more schizophrenic rappers on their side than they used to for sure. Yeah,
Starting point is 01:02:01 that is definitely true. Uh, so I just definitely true. So I just have to close out Natalie Jessica here. It says- How is this? This is- I keep thinking it's over and then- No, it's just one more paragraph. This is an excerpt from a book. Just one more paragraph. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:02:17 It's a biography. Then I'm going to lunch in real time, a thousand pages of talking to the most boring fucking woman of all time. My dinner with Natalie Jessica. Robert Carra is getting started on the Natalie Jessica saga, master of the bistro. Yeah, volume one of four. One more paragraph, Phil, I promise. Oh my God, the sheet from Taken wouldn't buy her. Remember, he buys that stupid girl who like, she's turning like 27 and her dad buys her
Starting point is 01:02:44 like a sing-along cassette. She's like, Oh my God, I love it. She's like slow, but the shake is like this. I can't wait to have sex with her. This is going to be great. But he, the shake would meet Natalie Jessica and be like, take her back. No gunfights, please. I don't want her.
Starting point is 01:03:04 Given returned. No gunfights, please. I don't want her. They'd given. Returned. I have a certain set of receipts. You have to take my shitty boring daughter. I have the original credit card. I can't listen to my daughter talking about how base Barbie is. I'm going to kill myself. Isn't that movie like four years ago? It feels like so long ago.
Starting point is 01:03:30 Barbie. Yeah, Barbie was in. It came out in 2019. In a 13 years ago. Okay, I promise you this is the last paragraph of this article. Like a growing Gen Z contingent, she is anti-app, meaning dating apps. One day, she would like to settle down with a man she can be submissive to, she said. She added that she had been wronged in past relationships, which only stoked her ambitions.
Starting point is 01:03:55 I was like, I'm going to get revenge, she said. You can watch me on TV being the next big deal. Yeah, that sounds like a very traditional submissive wife. That's not really traditional. That's what she means by the lib stuff. Like I'm kind of a lib at heart because I don't just want to get pregnant at 18 and just never leave the house and never be seen by anybody. I actually want to have my own career and maybe like hold off on dating until I'm in my 30s and, you know, just really explore who I am as a person. But also I'm a trad, I'm a...
Starting point is 01:04:23 I need a man I can be submissive to. Yeah, like not if that entails the man saying I don't want you working a job or being on TV or sharing your opinions publicly. Yeah, I think she's gonna be like, soup, like and culture Arab, but like super fun. And it's like, the only way you would ever get big on TV is if you got kidnapped in 2003 You have a face for that but not for whatever the fuck you want to do. I don't know. I'm sorry It just god I would I would be a submissive
Starting point is 01:04:55 Non-sexual I'm really tired. I have had a lot to do this weekend. It's one such a weird mood today Maybe like the next time I get well rested, I go to the gym, we could have a romantic relationship. But it's a submissive relationship. And I will tell you, just go to a restaurant and act fucking normal. No more seed oil shit. That's the strength of the picture.
Starting point is 01:05:20 Drink the regular water. Yeah. Talk about Reacher or all the little beautiful things. Show for girls. Don't talk about the shit that I've seen from a thousand accounts. There you go, she could record that, she could listen to it.
Starting point is 01:05:38 Done. A perfect aromantic asexual relationship between two asexuals who are also not friends with each other. That's trad. Yeah. For a lot of people it was. Yeah. All right, gang, let's leave it there for today. That was Natalie, Jessica, and you know, some surprising things about a Gen Z conservative that may strike you as a little bit odd. A little bit out there. A little bit crazy and out there. She is weird. She needs to be on a straight jacket.
Starting point is 01:06:09 You know, think about her, she's a bit of a nerd at heart. You know? Her interests are a bit esoteric and sort of strange. They didn't even elaborate on that part at all. Yeah, what is the nerd? She's a nerd. Like, what does that mean? Like, she likes star wars?
Starting point is 01:06:22 It's because she insists she'd be happy spending her days sifting through federal databases. She's essentially a nerd at heart. So like that was the setup for that. Oh, I mean, I guess you're into politics. Yeah, I mean, yeah, like I would hope I would hope that you know, like what the federal government is. You fucking dope. I'm a nerd. I go to the Wikipedia page for Congress. I do my job. I can remember which one is which. I know where the federal
Starting point is 01:06:45 buildings are. I'm a real nerd. Oh my fucking God. It would be funny if she was doing this like interview where she's like, I'm crazy. I'll go to a restaurant and be like, do you have Heinz ketchup? I think the Hunz ketchup tastes weird. And then a cop kills her because she's so insane. Ashley Babbitt was just trying to get pesticide-free limes in the Capitol building. That's what happened there. She would have been interesting. Yeah. That would have been a great interview. That was a woman with some spunk. I loved her. She had some rants to go on. I was really sad what happened. Yeah yeah, she was like a big psycho
Starting point is 01:07:27 Yeah, it's all that is an endangered species. You know how China brought back the golden snub-nosed monkey They did they were like, yeah, they were like almost extinct and they're like they took regular monkeys and punched him in the nose That's what they've been doing with pandas for years. They're just spray painting regular bears, wanting them off to American zoos. We've talked about China's scam with pandas before on the show. Yeah, there are no pandas. That's a man in a suit. It's definitely not a regular bear. It's way sillier. No. Why not they kill people if it's a bear?
Starting point is 01:08:05 How is it a bear and it's not dangerous? Yeah, I've played all the Dynasty Warriors and it's never happened. No, I was saying that China, because of their success in bringing back all these amazing species, they should breed babbits because we're running out of them and all we have is like this lady. Yeah, they should figure out how to create white women in a lab. What if they figure that out? No, you know what I mean.
Starting point is 01:08:33 I'm tired of relying on the pronatalist couple to create more white women. We need Operation Warp Speed for batshit insane white women. They can't make a Babbitt like that. If Ashley Babbitt had those parents shitty ocular genetics, they're never making a pilot, she would have not even made it
Starting point is 01:08:55 to sprinting into that bullet like she did. Like she would have not made it to the Capitol. But I think like Babbitts are the natural predator for this type of boring woman. They just see them and like they're like, you're the bitch from Best Buy and just start hitting. Well, it's like, yeah, it's like, look, they create the they create. I mean, she starts taking a picture of her license plate. You're you're your dog gave my dog fucking anxiety.
Starting point is 01:09:20 Yeah, your dog gave my dog a dirty look. Yeah, but like, you know, it's like it's like it's like the gentrification of crank culture. It's like people like the babbitts, they create the culture. And then the vultures like Natalie Jessica come in and just sort of picking shoes and just adopt it for themselves and be like, you know, like I'm a bit conspiratorial. Like, you know, I hate absolutely wear it as a costume. Yeah, yeah, It's exactly a costume, not culture.
Starting point is 01:09:46 Where was Natalie Winters at Jan six? Probably watching the Barbie movie. Yeah, probably watching the Barbie movie. What under what circumstances would she ever like, could you ever see her where like there's a cop on the other side of a door and he's like, don't come to the door. And she's like, guess what? I think I can get through it. You know, I know my right.
Starting point is 01:10:06 Yeah, I can go wherever I want. The door's already open, you asshole. And then dies. You can't see it. She just doesn't have that in her. Well, best of luck to her and her career. And I can't wait for the memoir written at the age of 22. Yeah, I want to know more. Oh, God, you're going gonna make me read that memoir during
Starting point is 01:10:27 my anti-Semitism trial. I mean, she's probably gonna convert to Judaism in a year or two or be one of those evangelical Jews. That's too interesting for her. All right, we'll see. Maybe she'll surprise me. Maybe she'll measure some kid's dick. That would be, you know, I don't think she's going to do it, but it would be like new. All right. Let's leave it there for today's show. We have anything to plug at the top at the bottom of the show? Yes. As I mentioned on Thursday's show, we ended up with some overstock of No Poseron, Matt
