Starting point is 00:00:00 Hello and welcome to Kump. Hello. Hello, Lucy. Hi. How are you? I'm good. It's a hell of a week out there. It's a hell of a, hell of a week in the news.
Starting point is 00:00:30 going on i don't really understand any of it a lot going over my head out of my uh domain do you know uh about this show the daily show i've heard of it yeah apparently the host of the daily show is like is fighting against troops what's going on it's former host of the daily show is somehow is it like a gun fighting or is he just kind of like is he is he protesting the troops and so i guess physical with his cohorts or is he actually like trying to do it like a paramilitary is he fighting against him in the capital he should be if he really wants to make a difference yeah he should make a giant burn pit in front of the capital building and burn all the troops is what you're saying and start throwing people i don't know i mean i personally think the troops should be
Starting point is 00:01:27 supported, so I don't, I don't, if you, look, if you, if you go for this kind of thing, this is Craig Kilbourne, by the way. No, this is, this is, this is, John, okay, John Stewart from, from Big, from Big Daddy. Yes, actually, yeah. He ended up hosting a Daily Show. I don't think that's where most people would remember him from, but, but yeah, he was. He was a deadbeat dad in, uh, in Big Daddy, I believe. Right?
Starting point is 00:01:52 The, the man who abandoned, abandoned his child. Well, I don't think he knew he had a child to be. He's an actor portraying a part. It's like, I'm not saying he is a deadbeat dad. I'm just saying that he very, very, very believably played a guy who abandoned his kid. So let's, so let's, let's, I'm bum like Adam Sandler to help him and like, you know, raise him. Right. And no one was like, this doesn't make sense.
Starting point is 00:02:16 Why would this guy? People were like, this made sense. It was a good casting. That's all I'm saying is an actor. This doesn't mean he'd do it. Look, to be fair to John Stewart's character and Big Daddy, I think once the paternity results were revealed he was very quick to take responsibility once they sued for paternity and like he was forced to by the court he said okay i'll raise the kid now that's it could be worse some people
Starting point is 00:02:38 still don't and so like the fact that when a judge told him to he you know decided to cut his losses and start raising the kid that's i guess commendable and you know the way the world is now yeah well what i'm like them i liked him and i thought he was good i thought he was good i thought he had a real good job playing the Dead Beat Dad. So you're saying he was hosting a daily show. A daily show. And now he has how do you end up
Starting point is 00:03:05 is John McCaffer? He's fighting troops. I don't understand. Well, I think while he was on the daily show, people came to trust his voice on like the media and on politics. And probably, I could imagine if he would say stuff like, you know,
Starting point is 00:03:18 our troops are actually targets for me. And I want to fight them. He would say stuff like that. Like, I think you're trying, I'm trying to. get into how this evolves, how a guy like John Stewart starts, like, you know, launching a civil war, but only against the military. It doesn't seem like he wants, it doesn't seem if he wants any kind of material gain or, like, position or land. He just wants to, like,
Starting point is 00:03:42 hurt soldiers. Yeah, not against the military so much as just veterans. Right. Yeah, I doesn't seem to be going against active military people. And also not going against, he's more fighting for them. But that's secondary. What do you mean four? Well, yeah, look. I thought he was like, I thought he was fighting against him. No, no, he's trying.
Starting point is 00:04:04 Oh, he's on their side? Yeah. Oh, okay. Okay, that's. I guess that makes, I mean, it makes more sense why anyone would do that. I was really kind of confused why the guy from Big Daddy was like
Starting point is 00:04:16 trying to like, you know, kill soldiers. And I was like, this seems. But no, you're telling me he's not. No, no, no. He's a. I mean, he wants them to have health care. stuff okay that's how that i can get behind that interesting okay so john stewart i'm listening so john stewart it wasn't that's what he was doing in the capital he wasn't he wasn't like
Starting point is 00:04:39 starting a war yeah every few years he goes up because i guess this thing keeps getting up for he keeps going up for debate like it's not they can't pass a bill that just says forever these people will get health care i guess who these people they're americans they just don't we're talking Native Americans? I don't know. Who are these people? You think Native Americans are keeping U.S. veterans
Starting point is 00:05:02 from getting health care? Who is these people? Congress. Okay. I don't know. I mean, look, if I was Native American, I might lobby against soldiers
Starting point is 00:05:12 getting health care. Because they did so much, not these soldiers, but over time, U.S. soldiers were not very nice to them. Look, I'll give you that. If it were a bunch of Native Americans saying that,
Starting point is 00:05:24 then it would be, those would be great, representatives for not giving U.S. You counter to me, and you say, hey, the Custer was just implementing a policy. You know, he was just the tip of the sword for the Congress. Well, I don't, you know, perhaps. Perhaps Custer wasn't, you know, shouldn't be as villainized as we love to do. But, you know, I wasn't in the Congress.
Starting point is 00:05:49 I don't know. Right. But, you know, at a certain point, I just know I never marched a trail of tears. right so I'm I'm I think I'm doing pretty good anyway yeah John Stewart's in the capital he's in the capital and he wants the troops to like now I thought he was a 9-11 responder guy now he's branched over into veterans well it applies to veterans it applies to first well I think there was maybe a different bill for first responders right he was he was he was sitting there crying in the Congress a year or two ago maybe longer like just weepy and like yeah and like and like
Starting point is 00:06:25 like almost a fussy he seems well you see he got that that thing we kind of big kids kind of tired and so he's kind of crying but he's kind of angry and he's like why don't you just give them an health kid they need and then like I I think he was wrong I think yeah that seems like a reason sometimes the kid is right when he's like having a tantrum sometimes the kid having a tantrum isn't wrong you know I don't want to go home with uncle jack well that wouldn't you know he might be having a tantrum quote unquote but you know who is uncle jack And what happens at Uncle Jack's house? How is he being treated at Uncle Jack?
Starting point is 00:06:58 Exactly. So, you know, you don't automatically assume that the kid having the tantrum or John Stewart is being, you know, a buffoon or anything. John Stewart. John Stewart. John Stewart. No, look, I think it's commendable. This guy goes out there and a lot of people say support the troops and support the firefighters. And I feel like John Stewart really, like, fell hard for that propaganda.
Starting point is 00:07:23 You know, I feel like he was. We all just kind of say it, but he, like, you're a little kid. He's like, he, like, believes it. Yeah. And, like, it's just, it makes for these funny moments where it's like, no one meant that. Like, we have these guys go to, like, foreign countries and, like, get shot at. And then, like, we, they burn, like, you know, uranium and whatever next to their bathroom. It's like, of course, we're not trying to, like, you think you really like how much of course or insure them?
Starting point is 00:07:49 That's not what we do. If we were going to, like, give them health insurance, we wouldn't be putting them extra burn pits in the first. place yeah that's crazy right it's like putting a mix of a cancer factory you know why did you do that why would you make him why would you make him drink agent orange which they did yeah that's the beauty of what i'm doing here the high wire act of my satire apparently they made it they made the the boys drink agent orange back in the day geez and they were fine can't be good for you i remember people telling me that you know what you say but that they say it's so dangerous but They had guys on the air drinking and stuff.
Starting point is 00:08:27 Now, first of all, this person didn't even, now I knew this person, I don't want to say who it was, didn't even account for the fact that maybe it wasn't really Agent Arnold. But maybe it was. Maybe I misunderstood. Maybe they were pouring it out of the fuselage or whatever held the ancient orange. But even nevertheless, the idea that it wouldn't poison you on the spot as if you were drinking acid, but might still be bad for you, you know, a week later even.
Starting point is 00:08:54 Sure. By the time I aired that, the guy might have been dead. Yeah. Regardless, it was a detour for Agent Orange. If you're not familiar with Agent Orange, um,
Starting point is 00:09:05 so it's a, it's like a foliant. Anyway. Right? Yeah, it's a, yeah. It's something you're using Vietnam.
Starting point is 00:09:12 It fucked up a lot of people in Vietnam. They had, like, I get rid of the trees so I could bomb people more effectively and shoot them. And didn't it also like kill a bunch of just like Vietnamese people? Probably. I mean, you know,
Starting point is 00:09:23 no one's counting. You know, I mean, people are counting that, but not, when you go to these, like, things, it's always like, the troops. I got to eat in orange. Like, wouldn't you dumping down on babies? Like, I feel bad for you, but, like, this doesn't seem like just a you problem. Look what they did to me. Well, you were dropping. I mean, I feel terrible.
Starting point is 00:09:41 I mean, they shouldn't have been making you do it, but it's also, it's like, it's just kind of crazy. We're just dumping into their water supply. Right. And, like, just destroying all their agriculture. Yeah. Look what happened? You're driving that Walker thing from Star Wars, and you got knocked over by Luke Skywalker.
Starting point is 00:10:01 You tripped you up. Look what I've done to my boy! Yeah, you know, when I bombed that wedding, the sound of the explosion blew my ears out. I'll never hear the same way again. I have a little tinnitus, I think. It's called tinnitus, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:19 It's not great. I mean, I can hear, but, like, if it's a loud thing on TV I feel like a weird scratching feeling I don't like it So John Stewart What is he accomplishing in the Capitol He's been doing it for years
Starting point is 00:10:35 He tried to get firefighters' health care It didn't accomplish that And so he just abandoned the firefighters And moved on the veterans No no I think he's actually been like Pretty successful in general I think he gets on the YouTube It's the more than I've done
Starting point is 00:10:49 So I'm not you know Mr. John Stewart if you listen to our podcast, don't think that I'm like, you know, taking a shot. But, you know. Mr. Stewart, don't be a coward. Come on the pod. Come to beat me. Come to beat me.
Starting point is 00:11:05 It does seem like, you know, it's more of an indictment of our country in our current state of affairs. No, these people are scumbags because the argument this, there's always some, like, bullshit argument for why they're not passing it. Like, this time it's that, you know, like, 400. hundred billion dollars that was always in the bill was moved from like discretionary spending to mandatory spending and like republicans are calling basically calling it like pork essentially you know which is like that's that's say it is which i don't think it is but like that's say it is like i'm pretty sure like the only reason like Mitch McConnell is one of the people blocking it
Starting point is 00:11:44 I'm pretty sure the only reason he's still in office is because of like the sheer amount of pork he gets for Kentucky. That's pretty much true of like every, like anyone's been there longer. Yeah, lots of it. I don't mean to make it just like a Republican issue, but it's like. I'm sure he's a real sloppy pig. Yeah. And gets that pork real nice and slow cooked.
Starting point is 00:12:04 Yeah, but like, you know, I'm sure he's, he might, he might be the most, I don't know, but I'm saying, like, I'm not trying to underplay it because he might be one of the craziest pork boys in history. I just don't know. But I'm saying, but that's pretty standard to get a lot of pork if you're the head guy. you know no he just wants some pork I want to cook that boy
Starting point is 00:12:23 I mean what do you what do you mean Mitch McConnell would you have dinner with Mitch McConnell I don't want a romantic dinner I know we're like assume I'm out of the picture I'm just saying if a man like no not a man like him
Starting point is 00:12:38 if Mitch McConnell with all the power and trappings that comes with him if he you know tried to pull a indecent proposal like being Robert Redford he may see he's He met you with a, like a casino, that new casino in Long Island.
Starting point is 00:12:52 I don't like how quickly you're developing this scenario where Mitch McConnell, uh, makes love to me. I didn't say it makes love. I said, would you go to romantic deal? That's what an indecent proposal is.
Starting point is 00:13:03 No, all right, but I mean, I mean, he's doing the schmooze. I mean, he might, look, he's going to want to have, but you know, you don't have to, this is not a situation where I'm, I'm going to fantasize about it. No, I'm just asking, would you, like, have a nice,
Starting point is 00:13:16 like, it's not just a business to, is my point. Am I saying you're making love on the table? It's not romantic that way. It's just, it's the dinner where he's, like, putting the candles on the table. Is this for, is it, like, am I doing some kind of espionage where, as a result of this dinner, like the burn pit
Starting point is 00:13:32 victims will get, we'll get, the health care? No, no, no, no, quick pro quo. I'm just asking, it's supposed to be an aside, a quick aside. Like, this guy's pretty gross, he's got bad politics as far as you're concerned. Some people love his politics, and they're also entitled to that, I guess. But, uh,
Starting point is 00:13:48 point is um but he's a powerful man so i'm just i'm saying like if he asked me the dinner you know i might go to dinner with them now we're engaged so i wouldn't in this case and i wouldn't say i would have sex but i might go like if he said to me can i have a romantic dinner with you ray i might say yes in theory just to see you know what power but being under the the wings of power feels like i mean do you get any look the idea of a de-evon indecent proposal as you do you do something you wouldn't otherwise do it could be a dinner it could be a dinner and like and then you get some money when i said indecent proposal i was only drawing the comparison of how suave rich robert red robert redford was in that movie and rich and like a guy like
Starting point is 00:14:35 i wasn't i'm not trying to recreate indecent proposal with the here let me fuck you for a million that like you know here here's so here's some cash here's a bucket of cash come be a pig that's not what I was trying to do, I was just trying to, you know, I'm just liking in Mitch McConnell to Robert Redford in a physical way. Look, you can't liken him to Robert Redford because he's, Mitch McConnell is like an exact replica of the guy, you know, who Hannibal Lecter's friend who, you know, he eats his face. Oh, oh, wait, he's the guy in the movie Hannibal, you mean? In Hannibal. Okay, the Lester, I thought he meant multiple miggs who said, like it's like, what did makes sense you when he weighed yourself he's like a smell your cund you're like oh I
Starting point is 00:15:19 unfortunately cannot uh you know he threw his commenter point is I don't even that guy but you mean the guy in the third movie who has his face eaten by a pig by pigs and then Hannibal electric was eating it this is I mean that's the result this is this analogy has lost all potency the original point because I'm I may I was that was a cool scene it was good I mean honestly you know what I was right Who was that? It's Gary Oldman. Really?
Starting point is 00:15:47 Yes, the transformative. That guy is just a chameleon. He's just doing everything. Look, he might be Mitch McConnell half the time, and we don't even know it. That's how good he is. I would have dinner with them. I'd see where things went. And I would say right up front, I don't care.
Starting point is 00:16:05 I mean, I care, but for the purposes of dinner, I don't care about the troops or firemen. But this is not what this is about. We're human beings. But anyway, moving on. So John Stewart is, I'm saying he's got the pork. He hasn't moved his bill. He stopped this bill in his tracks, right?
Starting point is 00:16:27 Yeah, along with some other people. Okay. And so, again, I mean, this is not, he got out. Look, John Stewart, for all his guile and his cunning, has been outmaneuvered in the Senate by these career politicians. Is that surprise you? Look, I think the game that's being played, usually when John Stewart gets involved
Starting point is 00:16:46 is that like he's John Stewart and it's fucked up but like when John Stewart you know yells or cries or makes a point in speech people pay attention to it and it's an effective mechanism for just like bringing what's
Starting point is 00:17:02 a pretty like bipartisan shame on whoever is blocking it like you know it's like most people aren't going to be like aren't going to dismiss like veterans who want health care. Right but these guys are pros this is kind of like when a comedian right which he is on some level right yeah he's very funny in the in the in the child abandonment movie now when his magnum opus yes now when when you know
Starting point is 00:17:29 like a comedian see someone like you know i'm gonna chat like i'm gonna talk about borsh i don't say that because i'll see my i'm going to talk about the the uh the civil war and then i know it's very dicey that's going to be my issue my pet cause but i'm gonna i'm gonna put myself in a hole i'm i dig myself out of it you know great great comics always do and i'll tell you it doesn't usually
Starting point is 00:17:55 end up with people just yelling at old ben in my experience it is it often does all these these fucking out there got these guys who want to like you know do this all the time they just start yelling at old people because all people like just don't just be funny that's why they always you see you see it once or twice
Starting point is 00:18:13 like in some album or documentary these guys these guys digging himself out of the hole like patrice o'neill but in my experience what usually happens is some guy he ends up just yelling at old people because they're like this is not this is be funny which i'm not saying i'm on their side get off get off yeah yeah i'm not in their side i dug myself trying to dig myself out of a hole and you just yell at old people because they're not having it they're like they want you to be like you know uh buddy hackett right and you know whatever who who who who Robert Klein. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:44 And I can be Robert Klein. But like this is like the one issue. Oh, sorry. Go ahead. My point. So this is what John Stewart, but this is what is that is happening. They bring John Stewart out and they're like, so he's like, what are you going to do? I'm John Stewart from the, from the abandon your kid movie and also the Daily Show apparently.
Starting point is 00:19:03 And people seem to love me. And I, I'm going to shame you until you do what I say. And they're like, hey, look at us. We look like monsters. Physically. Yeah. Most of us look like monsters. Right.
Starting point is 00:19:16 And the ones who don't really look like pedophiles. Yeah. Like very much so. We're all closeted or just bigots or directly. We inside are trade. We're monsters. We're also just awful people. But this is the swamp we live in.
Starting point is 00:19:34 This is like going to prison and thinking you're a tough guy on the outside. You're like, well, we live in prison. You know, and maybe you can fight in prison. but you know people do I guess but like you know so John Stewart's coming in and they're like what you think you can shame us right yeah that that seems to be that's the competition they see the challenge like yeah here we're going to pull a bunch of parliamentary bullshit you're going to call us out on it and a day's going to go by no one's going to care yeah like that's the experiment like is it is it even possible to shame these people anymore like because as far as
Starting point is 00:20:09 like popular response. Like I was watching him on like Fox News a little earlier. And like even on Fox News, it's like when he goes on and explains what the issue is, the Fox News viewers are like, yeah, this is fucked up. Like it's like, you know, like every normal person in America thinks this is a no-brainer. Sure. But it's like, you know, it's just these, uh, these lizards. It's like one Gary Glenn Ross and trying to explain to Ricky Roma.
Starting point is 00:20:34 No, no, no, no, no. I, you understand. I didn't actually want to buy it. You kind of pressured me. He knows. It's next level shit. This is the thing where it's like, yeah, I know you know I pressured you. Right.
Starting point is 00:20:44 The whole point is, can I fuck you while you know I'm fucking you? And the same thing with the Congress. Yeah. That's the whole game here. Right. So good, I mean, what you, but someone like John Stewart would need to do with people really, you know, if you really wanted to marshal his, uh, all these, you know, uh, bros, these, these comedy bros that like him, right?
Starting point is 00:21:06 Yeah. These young men who drink a lot of beer who like John Stewart. Is that the profile? I'm assuming it's just based on his big daddy role. You know, he's talking a lot about Molson and stuff with that movie and not having and doesn't care of his kid. So I'm saying if he wants to get these like frat boy type, so like he needs to like marshal them the way Trump did sort of Trump had a celebrity and he turned that into political power.
Starting point is 00:21:28 Now, how much of the accomplish? Well, you got a bunch of people in the Supreme Court and they ended up returning Roevey Wade. So a great deal, regardless how you feel about it. And in Congress, but he could do it in Congress. John Stewart could become, you know, the new Mitch McConnell one day. But he wants to stay in the outside and, you know, and just kind of wrap himself in the flag of veterans and 9-11 first responders. Right.
Starting point is 00:21:55 I mean, is it wrong? But that's why it's kind of like, it's kind of like an unstoppable force meeting and a movable object because like... It's not, no, no, no, but because like these people can't be shamed at all. Right. But also they have this very, like, blatant history of, like, wrapping themselves in the American flag. Right. And so what happens when, like, you wrap yourself in the American flag to shame them as a, you know, as a PR thing, like, you know, will that work? Like, it's like, you know, it's kind of like, and it seems like it does work sometimes.
Starting point is 00:22:26 But, yeah, no, no, it's definitely, like, there's diminishing returns, bro. Do you think the problem is that a lot of these veterans and for 9-11 first responders are, not people who would normally like John Stewart that like here they like he like he's like trying to help us but he's not one of the guys he's he's a feat and he's a you know he's a Harvard graduate and he's like you know an intellectual elitist and they and like so they appreciate what he's trying to do but it's just they can't really uh you know he's not a man of a muck i definitely think that it's the kind of thing where he shows up he he he creates these, you know, spectacles for good, right?
Starting point is 00:23:10 And I think they're deeply appreciative of that and respect him for it. Yeah. And then on the car ride home, they're like, what's up with that guy? Right. Is that water he was drinking? Fiji water? What is that water? Is that, is that normal water or is that kind of weird?
Starting point is 00:23:31 Is he have a family? What's his deal? He didn't serve, didn't he? I didn't think so. I heard you went to Harvard. Whatever that means. No, I don't. It's, can you be a man of the people?
Starting point is 00:23:47 Can you be John, didn't work. John Kerry tried to. John Kerry came from some kind of money. I know he married the catch-up heiress, right? Right. But before that, I think he came from decent money, right? He was a kind of connected, like, related person, I think. Right?
Starting point is 00:24:03 John Kerry. Oh, was he? I believe he wasn't poor. But, you know, my point is he went to Vietnam. I believe I kind of suspect, you know, a lot of guys, look, you got to do your time and serve, right? You got to go over there. People, some people who won't get into politics, know they got to spend time serving. So he has his whole career where he's trying to be, look, he looked back and go, I went to Vietnam.
Starting point is 00:24:25 And then I threw my medal away. I'm the soldier boy, right? I'm a man of people. And within a second, they swift boat with them. They got the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth. Carl Rove just made an ass out of him. Now, it wasn't even true, but they got these, like, actors, these guys they found, these old men they found out of Dunkin' Donuts.
Starting point is 00:24:47 And they had to pretend to be, like, Navy guys. And they just made John Kerry, like, they were like, I don't think he was even in Vietnam. I mean, these guys are probably, like, in prison when Vietnam was happening. And not for, like, you know, conscientious objection. You know? I'm just saying, like,
Starting point is 00:25:04 These, so it's hard for people who've been to Harvard to, you know, kind of be a man of people. They smell it on you. Sure. It's hard, you know, it's just, now, why was George Bush able to do it? Because it's a better politician. Yeah, it's a mystery. Smarter. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:24 So John Stewart needs to get smarter, is my point. Right. It doesn't, look, it doesn't matter how many Adam Sandler movies you do. He'll always be up against it. I just think he only did one. Yeah. If that guy who, you know, let's just say, who was that guy and who was his friend all the time? And he was the guy, he ends up being in the movie where he was playing video games or making video games.
Starting point is 00:25:48 Grandma's boy. There was an actor. What's his? Oh, Nick's Swanson. There was a guy. Look up Grandma's boy. It's a film that, like, this guy was in where it was a decently funny movie. But that guy is a guy John Stewart puts in every film.
Starting point is 00:26:01 But he's not, like, he said grandma's boy, no one cared. I said grandma's boy like so many times in this last minute that it'll probably if you type that into YouTube it'll probably come this video come up now it's not that popular my point is if that guy was like coming off of veterans you'd be like oh that's John Stewart's I mean that's Adam Sandler's buddy the guy puts in the things
Starting point is 00:26:21 and you feel good about that what's his name Peter Dante Peter Dante I'm sure he's a nice guy he's Adam Sandler's buddy he made that one movie he should be fighting for troops You think he would be a more effective communicator. People like, well, look, Adam Sandler could do, but I mean, that would be too much. Adam Sandler is disqualified.
Starting point is 00:26:42 I mean, what would happen to Adam Sandler? No, honestly, Adam Sandler could advocate for literally anything politically, and it would happen tomorrow. I feel like it might. I mean, you feel like he's lost his juice, but he's still making millions on Netflix. I mean, when's the last time you see Adam Sandler came out with a movie? Oh, I guess I uncut gems was good, but it wasn't like an Adam Sandler movie. Right, yeah. You know, he was great in it.
Starting point is 00:27:05 But, like, when's the last time, like, one of these comedies came out with Adam Sandler? And I'm not even taking shots as the guy. He's accomplished so much. And, like, you can tell, he don't really care of them. He's not trying to know anymore. These aren't exactly. Whatever. That's how beloved he is.
Starting point is 00:27:21 If John Stewart had a tenth of that, then we would be shoving, you know, just pills, a mocks of stealing into these troops' mouths as we speak. into these firefighters' throats. We would just be giving them anything they wanted. Ivermectin or whatever cures the lungs of 9-11. I don't know. Yeah. I'm just saying, what would that look like?
Starting point is 00:27:44 Hello? Hello, Mr. McConnell. I'd like to sing your song about the troops. Burn pits. I wish I could do better impressions. I have a burn pit. burning my deodorant you're absolutely right
Starting point is 00:28:09 I do think John Stewart has maybe a little bit more credibility than Peter Dante but Adam Sandler would be just a nuclear weapon sure I feel like if Adam Sandler is the standard which we're agreeing he is we're agreeing he's the Churchill of our era
Starting point is 00:28:25 yeah should be I mean it makes sense honestly yeah he could be why is no one tried to everyone's like I hear things like, who the damn is going to, Biden shouldn't run next term, but he shouldn't. He's like, you know, he's, come on, he shouldn't. And like, who's going to get? And we've always said, I always said, Michelle Obama would be great. Just like, I'm not saying, like, who's qualified?
Starting point is 00:28:45 Who's qualified? Who's not? Why she not qualified? Yeah. Who cares? But optics wise, I mean, look, people seem to all, dude, who knows? It's a crazy country, but she had a, she has a great charm, I feel like, compared to people, old people you see in the primaries. But we never think about Adam Sandler.
Starting point is 00:29:01 Which might be, like, incredible. It might be like, I mean, this, you mean, why don't, why don't Democrats do this? I mean, the Republicans got Reagan and they got Fred Thompson, right? Who was in days of thunder and much other good movies. And he was a senator, right? And who else was an actor? I mean, Trump was in stuff, home alone too. I mean, what's the last Democrat actor who, like, I mean?
Starting point is 00:29:27 Yeah, the Democrats don't do actors. Wasn't it Reagan the Democrat before it became a... I mean, Al Franken. Oh, right. He said he's a senator. Right. Yeah. And he was, you know, he was doing, like, weird, like, Bukaki, like, you know, like, like, parody Bukaki or something with a soldier.
Starting point is 00:29:46 I mean, whatever. It's just, it was pantomime, uh, Bukaki shots. Right? He was, like, he was, like, she was asleep. I don't think he touched her, but he was like, look, he just, hey, it's a little hack. Yeah. Hey, look. Hey, look, my hands are hurt tits.
Starting point is 00:30:03 Some shit like that. My hands are her tips. This is grand, I was on the SNL. Lauren Michaels knows how to pick geniuses. Were you like out of ranking? I mean, you're in front of your boy. No, I was like, I was like, I was one of the people, like, who was going, like, when Democrats were like, I don't see what the big deal was.
Starting point is 00:30:22 I was like, like, it is a little, like, what he, I mean, there was that woman who said he grabbed her ass. Like, it's not all, like, harmless, harmless, uh, John. I'm not saying that he's, you know, the BTK killer. I'm just saying that, you know, when a lady soldier fell asleep, he started, like, putting his tongue up to her asshole and taking pictures or something like that. Something to that effect. Well, she wasn't a lady soldier, but...
Starting point is 00:30:43 Who was she? She was a performer. Oh, but she had on, like... He supposedly, he was accused of grabbing a female soldier's ass. But the picture I saw, she was in, like, a... I guess they gave her camo, like, you know, in the helmet on the plane? Yeah, she was all She was gussied up
Starting point is 00:31:01 Okay, so she was Maybe the baby's fight Look I guess you're saying She's entertaining her So like she's just trash And he can just do whatever he wants to her I mean, he's the senator And she's entertaining her
Starting point is 00:31:11 I mean, that's your point right? No no I was just pointing out I just didn't want us to engage In stolen valor I know you have a good point Never steal valor So Alfred By the point is Adam Sandler
Starting point is 00:31:21 We also picked Al Franken Of all the funny people you could pick I mean John Stewart's one guy how frank is another i mean very talented i like i mean i was it's pat they wouldn't let do that now would would they probably or maybe they would enjoy it yeah i think they'd revamp pat that oh no that wasn't him that was and make it not that was that was julius sweeney right who would he do uh yeah he didn't do pat what did he did he did steward's his family he did steward smally that's the only that best thing he did i feel that that's really not that good i yeah i don't remember
Starting point is 00:31:51 any i don't know anything else he did you know i was gonna say he's a real pro but he's no he's no Well, he's no Albert Brooks. We should have gotten Albert Brooks. He's great. Adam Sandler with Albert Brooks as his like VP. That would be phenomenal. And then we can get some troops. Look, and John Stewart just got to get out of the limelight because he's just, he just.
Starting point is 00:32:10 You wouldn't even throw John Stewart in and make it a, make it a trio? I'd make him, like, I'd say once we get these guys in power, you can be like the Buttigieg. You know, you can be transportation secretary. You want that? Because people are just doing a decent job. I saw him tweet something. a couple weeks ago, and it was like, look, that's not a bad tweet. There was something in response to, like, political.
Starting point is 00:32:31 And I was like, yeah, look, that guy's, that guy's got a sharp tongue. Pete Buttigieg? Yeah, he said something in his role as transportation secretary. You're going crazy. I'm just saying, look, the guy, the guy can, look, the guy's not, I don't want to lead the free world for whatever that means, but like, you know, he said a nice tweet as the head of the transportation department. And I think that's what John Stewart could pull off.
Starting point is 00:32:55 So he's for the troops. Okay, interesting. Yes. Okay. Well, we wish John Stewart's the best. Godspeed. I hope he still pays attention to the firemen. I think the firemen are part of it.
Starting point is 00:33:14 I think it's all. They don't have burn pits. There's a whole different thing. It's a different thing, but they're... What is a burn pit, but let's talk about that? What's a burn pit? This is very... They keep, like, this is something Biden brought up in the state of the youth.
Starting point is 00:33:25 union right you watch the state of the union he started going off about burn pits and like i don't i mean is this coordinated with biden because why is this coming up now what's going on that burn because it's you would like it's a kind of thing where you would think it'd be more eloquently dovetailed like it's kind of a there's kind of a man behind the scenes kind of thing going on with the burn pits like it's part of our of this season's like over like the long the plot of this season like you know what I mean like the master plot of this season
Starting point is 00:34:01 you get you see your episodic plots you get your subplots but then the overarching plot or the saga right the infinity saga and marvel this is the United States burn pit saga according to Joe Biden and he launched it in the state of the union he started rambling about burn pits I don't think anyone knew what he was talking about is that a son died in a burn pit look up see if you can find it
Starting point is 00:34:23 Hunter Biden, not Hunter Biden, Bo Biden. Bo Biden that he like, you know, so I'm talking about how, like, and I never heard of Burn Pitts before. I mean, I can kind of intuit what they were. Look at YouTube. Yeah, look, it just makes them sit. Like, you want me to just look up the definition of a Burr?
Starting point is 00:34:42 No, I want you to find a clip of Biden's state, Biden's State of the Union, Burn Pitts. See if it comes up. Oh. Yep. Yep. Nice. We have a sacred obligational cryptos we send to war.
Starting point is 00:35:02 Oh, you do? I'm trying to turn it. You're fiddling around. Go ahead. And your thumbs in the pudding. A little Jack Horner put his hand in the dike. We have a sacred obligational cryptos we send to war and care for those in their family when they come home.
Starting point is 00:35:23 My administration is providing assistance and job training, housing, and now helping lower income veterans get VA care debt-free. And our troops in Iraq have faced in Afghanistan, have faced many dangers. One being stationed at bases breathing in toxic smoke from burn pits. Many of you have been there. What is Pelosi doing? She's just up there. What is this?
Starting point is 00:35:47 She's dressed, like she was in the middle of doing another Robin Hood trade. she was trying to like you know glean from what he was saying which you know should she put in some put orders on her stocks yeah what what goes into burn pits i want to invest in that right um i mean look that look you i'm not the dumbest guy in the world i know things i mean he's talking about burn pits as if we knew about them now it makes more sense now i've known about burn pits for for a minute i don't know about burn pits for a minute really who brings us up where do you what what what youtube channels are you watch well i knew that i knew that bo biden's uh cancer was like partially due to burn pits oh but we established that bo biden died in a heist with joe and munter that's true i'm sorry
Starting point is 00:36:34 i'm sorry i keep i keep falling back into the into the government they were doing a train heist in delaware or the delaware cellar train now uh it's fine i'm just saying you you can't be a coincidence that he's doing that i've never heard burn pits before now whatever but i'm saying that comes out fine new thing you told me so you're the president you can tell me stuff that's just part of your job right and now we got john stewart out there burn pitting talking about burn pits i think he's been talking about burn pitts for for a little bit it doesn't i'm not saying it's nefarious but it just has to be connected it has to be some kind of like part of our kind of agenda is burn pit stuff maybe he does know that if he emphasizes the burn pit stuff that Biden it'll get
Starting point is 00:37:16 Biden's ears, what's left of his ears. Okay. So he said like, look, he heard, he started in the state of the union. He called up the head of the 9-11 first responders group that he helps. And it was Jerry, look, John, John Stewart. No, I'm sorry. I know it's late. Look, I'm watching the state of the union. You know how I feel about you guys. I think you're salt to the earth. You know, I think you're just real great. You're just as good as people who went to Harvard.
Starting point is 00:37:44 Thanks, John. We, you know, we think you're okay. We appreciate your evidence. I don't think I'm any better than you or any better. Well, I never said that I thought you were. Yeah, I have a career and I'm famous, but I mean, you do like real work, real. Yeah, well, I appreciate that. Yeah. No, so, you know, it's just, I mean, I love what you guys do.
Starting point is 00:38:04 No. You know, I haven't been to, I'm not like a full-time first responder. That was, that was, that was a 9-11, you know, they call us the 9-11 first responders. I thought those guys were full time. Yeah, I know. I was hoping you wouldn't, I was hoping you wouldn't call that out.
Starting point is 00:38:25 No, my point is, so John Stewart was like, look, I love what we've done together is collaboration. But in these videos we've made together, they've done really well on YouTube. Now, Biden is doing the State of the Union right now.
Starting point is 00:38:40 And he's talking about these burn pits. And I feel like, look, this might be something I can kind of have more effect with so um i might have to like kind of just abandon you like i abandoned my son and big daddy well uh look you were great in big that's not because you didn't go to harvard by the way well i i appreciate that i you know i went to a pretty good school you you do noble work it's a noble job you have you know i'm college educated right like i went to school
Starting point is 00:39:11 is a fireman's is a school for fireman yeah well look look there's also there's also training for firefighters but uh i finish up college first i'm confused anyway i'm gonna need to go and uh do this stuff we're the veterans now so um you guys take care of yourselves you keep your chin's up and uh godspeed this is a very dark this is a dark perception of john Stuart. I think, look, he's a holly, look, he's a famous Hollywood boy. What do you think happens? You think he's just there? You think he's really just this guy
Starting point is 00:39:52 you know, in a plaid shirt and a cup of Joe? And he's just like, hey, let's clean the pigs today, Ma. No. Yes, he literally is. I watch him on his HBO show. He takes care of
Starting point is 00:40:07 wounded pigs, I think. All right. Someone took a picture of him. Yeah, I'm sure I'm sure he's like elbow deep of the pig's ass right now Whatever, I wouldn't expect that of him Using your money to affect things is fine when you're famous You know, we got to pretend to also be like the guy who like didn't Become ambitious because he was busy helping pigs
Starting point is 00:40:30 A lot of people who help pigs don't have anything better Because they were so busy helping So it's fine for the people who went to Harvard to like give their money to help It's fine And their persona He shows up and does a, you know, a tight 20 or whatever he did. The Capitol. I'm saying he should really, look,
Starting point is 00:40:51 the best thing he could do is to try to lean on his supposed friend. We've never put him in a different other movie, I don't think, John Stewart. I mean, Adam Sandler. Yeah. He's only in one Adam Sandler movie. I think he was, yeah. Why is that? That's a good question.
Starting point is 00:41:07 You think, yeah. You think they said, look, look, when Big Daddy came out, like, people still like it, but they didn't love you and they thought you were a little Harvardy. And so we're gonna catch you out. Maybe go, maybe go get Craig Hillborn's job. Go get Craig Hillborn fire from The Daily Show
Starting point is 00:41:24 and take over his job. I don't know why. I mean, I like John Stewart. Yeah. I feel like you feel like I'm taking shots out of them. No. Yes. But yeah, I think Adam Sandler,
Starting point is 00:41:40 if he could, I mean, You know, if they could go to the Capitol and just do a scene from Big Daddy. If they could reenact, that would be amazing. That would probably, you know, that would make a lot of progress. I think if they did Tommy Boy would be even better. I knew one of them in that movie. Right. But if they just did that scene from Tommy Boy on the airplane where he's giving the, he's doing the safety training.
Starting point is 00:42:08 He's a big dynaminal. He can't say that long. David Spade David Spade would also be I mean he's not doesn't seem as likable as Adam Sandler but he would be fun
Starting point is 00:42:17 he'd be fun as a DP yeah yeah you know Big Daddy is one of those movies that that actually pretty consistently makes me cry
Starting point is 00:42:26 which part the part in the part with T. Bouchemi with the bum as it means a bum ever too no like the part where like three different parts
Starting point is 00:42:37 of that movie make me cry like every every time I've ever seen it When he dresses up in a scuba. Which hasn't been in a while. As a Scooper Steve. That's actually kind of sweet.
Starting point is 00:42:46 It was sweet. I'm Scooper Steve. But the part where the child services woman takes him away. And then the part where Adam Sandler is trying to get him to tie his shoes with bunny ears. But John Stewart has already taught him a different way of tying his shoes. Because now he's the big daddy. Wait, wait. So it spends a whole movie.
Starting point is 00:43:08 What do you mean already? Because I feel like he spends a whole movie trying to get into the tie. his shoes and then John Stewart spends one day with him and he's already he said he's already so he he taught him a way to do it in a day it's like seven weeks maybe look maybe going to Harvard's not that bad yeah I mean like there's perks we're not saying that like Adam Stanley is going to like lead us to like you know the Pax Americana like you know like it's Camelot and JFK it's like yeah I mean in the old days you could have like guys who like we're have policy minded but now you just need id and
Starting point is 00:43:40 It's not going to get you like, you know, these weird renewable energies and like, you know, and the economy that's not based on like, you know, just like oil and then sweat. That doesn't come. I mean, we're not getting that. We're just trying to keep it going. Keep it flowing a little bit. How you, you have some barnacles on your lungs that came from a weird factory. We made you work.
Starting point is 00:44:02 Oh, let's scrape off a few of the barnacles. That's all we're doing here. We're not going to like, you know, build robots. Unless they're killing, you know, people for like not working. That's something that might happen. Right. So John Stewart wants to get rid of burn. Are we still doing burn pits?
Starting point is 00:44:21 I feel like this is kind of crazy. This was like, this was 2003. We've already established a bunch of toxic shit. Like, what are they doing in the military? Yeah, can't they just like fly some of the stuff? You know, I know it's not good for it. But like, as opposed to just killing the people who are over there, right can they can they just fly it over and drop it in the ocean and kill kill some fish i'm saying
Starting point is 00:44:44 like vietnam happened in a time when like we just assume like the EPA it was just coming out right or hadn't even been out like this is like 30 40 years later we had the internet and all sorts of shit like we're just aware right and we have these policies you can't just we put catalytic catalytic converters into cars but they were over there and it's war it didn't need to happen it wasn't like we had to rush over there yeah they were planning it back in the 90s apparently and like and like it was like
Starting point is 00:45:13 what we do with all the batteries and the bullets I don't know what they're putting in there but they're just shoving everything and burning it and like you had who thought this was smart who thought this wasn't going to be a cancer thing they just not care look I don't think it's good to kill fish
Starting point is 00:45:30 but I'd rather kill some fish than you know human beings prefer they could do boat what I'm just saying go take the toxic stuff and drop it in the ocean oh i see yeah i mean look i'm sure environmental will tell you you're crazy but whatever yeah i just but that makes more sense to me than like i mean what can't just wrap it up real tight why can't it just kind of put in a big thing and develop have like dow chemical develop some weird glue that you seal this stuff up with right and you dump
Starting point is 00:46:03 that in the ocean there's big balls of this stuff now that stuff will probably be toxic right and degrade in some crazy way. But I just seems to me like the burn pits might have been intentional. Oh, like they wanted to, they didn't have to do it, but they did it. It just seems so crazy. Am I wrong here? This is like, I was like, you know, this is not that long ago. We're just like sitting there going like, I mean, I know we also do Abu Ghraib at the same time.
Starting point is 00:46:30 And that's also like, why are they naked in the pyramid? Right. This doesn't seem like an effective way to get information. Yeah. Even if you want to be brutal, it's just. seems weird, you know? Yeah, like, this is just, this is clearly just for someone's pleasure. Like, you see those pictures that came out in Guantanamo Bay, like the first prisoners
Starting point is 00:46:45 I went there, and it was kind of, it was horrific, but it was also kind of like, oh, this is like, you know, their faces are completely covered and duct taped and garbage bags and their oven mitts on for some reason, but it's like, it looks really like, wow, this is like, this seems like super, you'll never get out of this prison. But like that soldiers sure are having fun. But I grew, but I grew great felt like that weird kink castle. And porn, you know? It just like, it's just like, just people shitting on the, like, soldiers are, like, smearing shit in the walls.
Starting point is 00:47:17 Yeah. It's like, it's like, a horror movie. And I don't know what the other. The Iraq war was just, uh, it should have taken place in, like, the 1850s. Yeah. It was just the crazy, we were the crazy weapons and stuff. I'm just saying, it was even crazy shit. Um, I don't think we appreciate that.
Starting point is 00:47:34 Looking back. All these predator drones we have now. Yeah. We were just making poison and poison in hair. Poisoning Bo Biden. Yeah. It's crazy. I mean, what is like, what do you think the end game would be of like a burn?
Starting point is 00:47:50 Because it kills people pretty slowly. It's not like they could never tell the secrets. No, it's a great point. And it's like it's one of those things that when you, this is why I'm not like, you know, the conspiracy theorist the way some people are. Because like that would keep me from like, you know, thinking too hard. It's a fucking plot. like what would be the point yeah now like you know but that's how but that's also how crazy it is that
Starting point is 00:48:13 they were just like what would you have like garbage burn it i mean the whole point of like halliburton don't you remember haliburton dick cheney's company they were i remember people saying there's these billion trillion dollar contracts to handle shit over there on these bases and remember like people tell like you know your counter would be like because you thought it was kind of corrupted they were doing like you know obviously chaney like because they go dovetails was like like like, hey, 9-11, like, who would benefit from 9-11? Well, I don't know, Halliburton, maybe. And then you go, like, okay, well, like, you know,
Starting point is 00:48:47 and their counter some of these people would be like, well, what other company? I mean, they do everything from, like, toilet paper to paper plates, to making the food, to making the garbage disposal. Like, why do we need one company to do that? That doesn't seem like it's a benefit. Like, one company does everything. Like, whatever. But my point is, they're supposed to be.
Starting point is 00:49:07 this great company that like you would think and their solution to the garbage was just the burn it I mean it's supposed to be a future company a company of like the some kind of jets and shit right we're not just we're not like some defense contractor or some company you could understand what we do we're like we're some kind of like Enron that works you know we're some kind of like we we're a logistical thing that like kind of we we come with crazy solutions we don't just dig trenches in next to the next to the plate where the polders sleep and and throw chemicals into it to burn that's not what we do yeah i mean that's what they did it's that's why so crazy yeah it's uh it's no good it's not good but
Starting point is 00:49:54 in the 11 thing it makes more sense because like these two buildings came down now yeah it's just like you know it's gonna be a lot of fiberglass and glass and rock in the air you know saying like that's just that makes more sense sure it's like how you couldn't do 9-11 and not have that right I feel like you could do the Iraq war even if you did stage 9-11 and by stage I mean those buildings still came down I'm not the hologram guy yeah it was a hologram they're actually still there yeah you can actually go right there right now where the space it's quite affordable because people don't people prefer to be able to be seen because that's the one downside of having this you know space you can't be seen because it's a lot of having this space you can't be seen because it's a
Starting point is 00:50:35 hologram. I once knew a guy who was a hologram guy. And I was like, you go, it's like, I knew him from the local coffee shop in my creepy hometown. Yeah. And I was like, you go into Manhattan all the time. Right. You've been going there for decades.
Starting point is 00:50:53 He was like, he was like an old man. Yeah. Right. Like it was like, you must have seen the Twin Towers. Right. Well, he saw the Twin Towers is that, that's the argument. The Twin Towers themselves were always holograms. Okay.
Starting point is 00:51:05 I think it's, okay. I'm pretty sure my brother was in a job interview, like one of them, like, a week before 9-11. Holy shit. It's, so it's either, I think the hologram argument is either that the Twin Towers were always a hologram, which is, I think, obviously crazier than the latter, which is that the, a hologram somehow replaced the real Twin Towers when the planes were hitting it. What? So Twin Towers exist. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:36 And then a plane. Actually, I'm not sure which one is crazy. You know, that seems crazy because they synchronized the plane hitting and then they blew it up. But then, but they had the holograms stay there. It doesn't make any sense. No, it doesn't mean. I think that, no, none of that makes sense. No, that makes sense.
Starting point is 00:51:55 I don't look. If you want to argue that you couldn't, the way they say the towers came down, the pancaking thing, wouldn't have happened. I don't know. I mean, there's a lot of back and forward. I mean, I've read 9-11 Commission. I've read the... Seen 9-11 September 11th of the Perlum of Pearl Harbor. I've seen popular mechanics, whatever, these weird, weird magazine.
Starting point is 00:52:15 Why is popular mechanics to the deciding voice on this? They were, like, don't they review, like, toilets? But whatever. I mean, I digress. Yeah. It just seems odd. It's like, you know, maybe we should have, like, you know, the Bureau of Standards and this to come out and explain to people.
Starting point is 00:52:32 You know, that's going to go over their head. just have the guys who review the singing toilet to tell them why not it happened the way it did anyway but the point is like but I never understood these people who like think that someone would fake this right and then like but not kill the people in the plane those crash
Starting point is 00:52:51 like oh they land the plane to the people out no they would just crash the plane right even if it was a drone like they were just you know why with these people doing this then and then like with the intention making burn pits in Iraq care about the people on the plane I don't understand
Starting point is 00:53:09 people just don't use it's out there but you still got to apply logic to it and just because some guy made a five hour documentary which he wasn't even claiming that to be honest I mean whatever my point is with some people go like you know that's a problem like Alex Jones it's like
Starting point is 00:53:24 I've always said it's like you know you make this problem yourselves because like you know a lot of what he talks about is truth or what I mean I haven't listened to a long time but it's true stuff, right? But it's mixed in with those non-craziness, right? And so when you allow someone, when you don't talk about the craziness he did, but you overthrew Iraq and all these things, right?
Starting point is 00:53:45 And then this guy brings it up and people are like, well, that's true. So I guess the other shit's true. Right. That's the problem with all this. Yeah. No, that's why, I mean, you convinced, I don't know if we've ever talked about this before, but you are the person who convinced me that 9-11 was an inside job
Starting point is 00:54:01 that it could very possibly have been an insight. Sure. Well, look, I mean, how did I do that by two, like a paragraph of words? Yeah, a paragraph. It was just, I mean, you told me about Operation Visual and Guardian, and I was like, holy shit. Yeah, there was a war game. The morning of 9-11, there was a war game. It's very early on in the 9-11 commission report.
Starting point is 00:54:20 It's just like that, you know. And it was that on top of other information. But it's like, but one of the reasons why I was like pretty, you know, resistant to the idea was one because I always heard bad arguments right that it was an inside and two because I just don't you know you you don't want to be one of these people who makes like you know conspiracies like their whole uh brand right right you know like exactly yeah 100% he'll email me stuff like you know weird should that why don't you talk about these positron uh discs outside of uh lansing michigan like no yeah no we're
Starting point is 00:55:01 haven't solved the other shit yet i'm not taking on the big foot and the and the and the potter on discs you know it's not my home it's not my everything yeah uh but i would love to the people have bits of the ground zero like my dad had someone to give him my dad the pieces of berlin wall i always said he had on his desk at work that was kind of cool the people were that goes to keep pieces of 9-11 maybe if you like were digging there maybe but it seems It seems morbid. Yeah, it's a good point. You don't really died inside the Berlin Wall.
Starting point is 00:55:36 Right, yeah. I was going to say, why didn't that happen? But yeah, because it wasn't a mess grave. Right, yeah. Fair enough. I mean, do you think anyone, this is a fair point, this is an interesting point, side point. Because we're going to make some levity to this,
Starting point is 00:55:51 because we got a little dark for a moment. Yeah. Do you think anyone died while taking down the Berlin Wall? It's all these jubilant, like, we got, we got hammers and we're not, but Google is for me. Oh, yeah. I mean, they're just people, regular Joves.
Starting point is 00:56:04 You know, the kind of people, John Stewart would, you know, dutifully, you know, respect as a human being. They were just, you know, they weren't Harvard guys. And they were just taking a hammer to this giant wall. Look, victims at the Berlin Wall. Okay, there we go. Interesting. Oh, wait, no.
Starting point is 00:56:19 This is just between the years. Oh, people got shot trying to, like, scale it. Oh, yeah. You see that in movies a lot, but, you know, people trying to, you know, get out of East Berlin. Look, it's just, it, it, there, it, it, it, might be so that people died during the takedown, but I think it's just going to get
Starting point is 00:56:35 flooded by people who died from bullets being fired at them. Right. He's like, I don't understand. That wall didn't go all across Germany, did it? It was just in Berlin, or did they go across Berlin? Look up, like, where
Starting point is 00:56:51 the Berlin Wall spanned. Because I always wonder why they didn't just leave Berlin and, like, try to pass somewhere else. Because in movies, I don't know people don't understand. And it was a big trope in movies, like someone to be, like spy movies or whatever, like trying to try to get them over the wall. And then later we get shot by the guard tower, right?
Starting point is 00:57:11 What was it saying? It says that it was just Berlin. Why would you just go to the next town over and cross? Yeah, that's a good question. It was a powerful symbol that wall. I would love it if, like, if like, we're like, you know, like, Prishnaf was just like whoever like some you know what's the top sovi guys who told the germans about it wherever right I was like no we just wanted them to we wanted to make it hard for you
Starting point is 00:57:42 like go get a drink over at the pub in west Berlin like and people are fraternizing and what if you have sex with a girl from west Berlin and it's just so that's just all it was no one was shooting each other I mean that probably were I don't want to say no one was getting shot right but imagine like it's like how I mean it just make inconvenient to like to go to the pub maybe not maybe i'm under i'm under playing it somehow i feel like there probably were like in the soviet control areas like they're probably checkbook checkbooks checkpoints all over the place yeah like uh but it would be funny if it was just like i wish we could escape east prolin why don't we just go a few towns over kind of ruins the symbolism
Starting point is 00:58:25 though i mean like i imagine you got all these these these assault of the earth types or maybe Maybe they were criminals rolling out. I don't know who was taking on the Berlin Wall. We saw a guy sitting on Jeopardy that he was backpacking through Europe and he just went and got a hammer and helped. Right? Oh, really? You know, in Jeopardy, when they have like the, they come back after the first commercial
Starting point is 00:58:46 break and they're like, what do you do? I'm in a barbershop quartet and my kid died. Right. And stuff like that. And he was like, I helped, you know, dig a hammer to the Burlington wall. I got to imagine pieces of this shit fell on people. It wasn't like a, like a, like a. I got a coordinated operation.
Starting point is 00:59:03 That's true. We got to look into this. This could be a, we could be a, it's going to be a breaking story. This could be a, what would you call the documentary we make about this?
Starting point is 00:59:14 Um. All dead along the watch. No, it's too, wordy. Goodbye yellow brick road. Yeah. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:59:27 I mean, what, what are you? What about, um, pink Floyd's the wall? Just call it Pink Floyd's the Wall We'd be sued for that
Starting point is 00:59:34 If we made a spurious Spurious documentary About where we did We actually didn't go back After this go research this But we just assumed that it happened And made a documentary We just made up facts
Starting point is 00:59:46 And then we called it Pink Floyd's the wall Would we be Do you think we'd be sued by David Gilmore Or Roger Waters? I think they would have a strong case If they wanted to sue us They would right You think they would be cool about it?
Starting point is 01:00:00 You think we met them and say hey, I think they should appreciate the artistic nature of what we're doing. Hey, look, you make, you make dark side of the moon. You try to make a point. And we're trying to make money. So why don't you shut the fuck up? You know? I'll see you on the dark side of the moon.
Starting point is 01:00:15 What is that? The fuck is that. What is that song about? Wish you were here. Who are you talking to with that song? Talking to a kid? Creep. I thought everyone you were talking to a kid.
Starting point is 01:00:28 Don't fuck with me. yeah so book i mean just to summarize burn pits yeah we we really squeeze this lemon well i mean look it's just off it i feel like this is low key like well it's like it's like a weird invisible zeitgeist it's this under it's it's kind of like danos before infinity war if you can if you can take another marvel reference
Starting point is 01:00:55 where like he was the one kind of pulling the strings all these things are happening because Thanos wanted to get these rings of power or let's look at rings whatever the infinity stones Right And so all these old movies
Starting point is 01:01:08 Makes sense in context That's a burn pit thing The burn pit is like Everything is going to happen It's been happening in politics Or will maybe 9-11 Makes sense because of the burn pits Maybe they were
Starting point is 01:01:19 Maybe the whole operation Remember when Rumsfeld Like right before 9-11 was like Hey So I want to let you know The Pentagon here We're missing like two trillion bucks And we don't
Starting point is 01:01:29 And then, like, apparently that, like, all the documents got, like, lost in the Pentagon when 9-11 happened, like, two days later. Right. And then, uh, another 5 trillion went missing during the war. Maybe they were just burning receipts in these burn pits. Maybe there was a whole point of the war. It's how, like, we have so much of a paper trail, like, Enron. We, like, we have Enron shit. We got to burn.
Starting point is 01:01:51 We got so much shit to burn. We can't possibly shred it. We can't possibly burn. We burn in America. Someone's going to think it's a forest fire. and start paying attention. We got to start a war just to have a pit. And then we'll throw a bunch of, you know, uranium and shit in there, too.
Starting point is 01:02:07 Yeah. Just to just so, just to distract. Yeah. No, because, like, if people don't, like, if people don't get cancer from this, they're going to know it was just paper. Okay? We need to, like, put other shit so they think we're putting batteries and bullets, because why would you do that?
Starting point is 01:02:24 It doesn't make sense. But, you know, it would make sense to burn paper that we can't let them know we were doing that so put some just put some Coca-Cola the uranium to plead uranium whatever give some guys some cancer get these guys off our back uh that's just a guess educated a guess but a guess thanks so much for tuning in uh don't forget this week coming up we got uh august 7th at the west hampton uh performing art center we have uh tim dillon and i are doing a live podcast so come just get go to tim dillan comedy.com check that it's gonna be a great podcast it's gonna be live you get to see us in the flesh the day draws nearer and nearer it's a week away
