Starting point is 00:12:00 It's not great. It's not. I mean, none of them are. Not to say that Blue Sky is like bad. It's just none of them are great anymore. It's still working some things out. But it's got the right, it's got the right, they're starting from the right place.
Starting point is 00:12:10 You know what I mean? There's no main character who's running it. Yeah, I mean, all of them. We don't know. People are corrupt. It all takes time. But right now, it's the good part where we don't know how fucked up it is.
Starting point is 00:12:21 Yeah, that's why they're number one. We'll talk about how the right is mad that nobody wants to spend Thanksgiving with them. Boo. And the horny snowman movie, which I don't think I've even seen the trailer for this. Have we watched the trailer? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:36 Oh, okay. Were you not here? Maybe I missed it. What is the premise? Oh, maybe you're out. Oh, you really don't know. This woman puts a scarf on a fucking snowman, being like, oh, maybe this guy. And it into like this hot white guy that she has sex with
Starting point is 00:12:52 You say you see I in the beast Ality, oh they said you see I mean if what he's working down there is like a dirty carrot like his nose Yeah, yeah Might be I think there are carrot jokes in it. Anyway, yeah. You nasty. Might be. You nasty. I think there are carrot jokes in it. Anyway, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, well, before we get that story, we'll make sure you see the trailer. And that's the level of comedy that I've always aspired to,
Starting point is 00:13:10 is Netflix rom-com level comedy. Oh, there's jokes in there that I just made. Yeah. Cool. I suck. Marcella? Yes. Before we get to any of that bullshit, we do like to ask our guest, what is something
Starting point is 00:13:27 from your search history that's revealing about who you are? Well, this morning I posted, I'm reading this book and I posted that I find the history of boxing so interesting. And my friend reached out to be like, oh my God, I love boxing. I take boxing and I do Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. It made me be like, how long has the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu been around? Not very long. I was wondering if it was
Starting point is 00:13:51 one of the old ones or not. But yeah, it's been around since like the 20s, I think. Yeah. It's a gift from immigrants. The 2020. Yeah, it's a gift from immigrants. It was like 10 years ago. Yeah, yeah. 2020.
Starting point is 00:14:03 But anyways, I thought that was cool, because some of the techniques are ancient, and then Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu was like, the remix! Yeah, exactly. And I was saying how I loved, I mean, I loved Jiu-Jitsu because it feels like magic tricks with your limbs, and I find that so powerful to watch.
Starting point is 00:14:20 Yeah, yeah. Yeah, that was one of the ones. And I also, I have a distant relative named Alexis Arguello, who was a boxer, and his big notorious fight was, oh my God, Pryor, what's his name? I forget his name now. But anyways, I'm reading this really cool book about him, and I post him.
Starting point is 00:14:39 Are you even gonna bother to watch Mike Tyson lose to that one fall guy? You know, I don't know, because I do have a show tomorrow. I mean, tonight, I have a show tonight. Right. Good job. Yeah. Great. He fucking bailed us out. Yeah. Fucking hell. I have a show tonight Friday.
Starting point is 00:15:01 National, what is it? Cortina day. Yeah, it's two chicks. And I was like, oh, that's interesting. Yeah, they were trying to get me in by saying the undercard is really good. But like, I can't do it. I can't do another election night. Like, you know, I hear you. Yeah, it's, it's, it's a little bit of a, it's a little bit of a, it's a little bit of a, it's a little bit of a, it's a little bit of a, it's a little bit of a, it's a little bit of a, it's a little bit of a, it's a little bit of a, it's a little bit of a, it's a little bit of a, it's a little bit of a, it's a little bit of a, it's a little bit of a, it's a little bit of a, it's a little bit of a, it's a little bit of a, it's a little bit of a, it's a little bit of a, it's a little bit of a, it's a little bit of a, it's a little bit of a, it's a little bit of a, it's a little bit of a, it's a little bit of a, it's a little bit of a, it's a little bit of a, it's a little bit of a, it's a little bit of a, it's a little bit of a, it's a little bit of a, it's a little bit of a, it's a little bit of a, it's a little bit of a, it's a little bit of a, it's a little bit of a, it's a little bit of a, it's a little bit of a, it's a little bit of a, I can't do it. I can't do another election night. Like,
Starting point is 00:15:27 you know, I hear you. Yeah, it's it's it's a lose lose situation. Like, you don't want to see Mike Tyson then being like, Oh, I'm gonna keep fighting. You're like, dude, you're almost 60 years old. No. And then also to just watch a white guy beat up a six year old black guy. I'm like, I don't know if I need to see this. Yes, very, it's very symbolic for what's going on. Yeah, that's I'm like, the don't know if I need to see this shit either. It's very symbolic for what's going on. Yeah, that's on my mind. The symbolism might be too hard.
Starting point is 00:15:48 It's on the nose. There was a news story where a 17-year-old Trump supporter punched a 70-year-old elderly woman. It's that. It's just that. Right, exactly. But that was the thing that I posted about the book I was reading was it's interesting to learn so much about Alexis
Starting point is 00:16:04 Arguello specifically Knowing now that you can just be some guy and right, you know stream your your quote-unquote match Yeah, I think that's the thing that like the I had to really embrace was realizing too and every all these fights You're like dude this one this motherfucker actually might beat up whatever Logan Paul or Jake Whoever the fuck it is. And you're always like, and that's how they get people in. But they're never going to fucking pick someone that they're like, this motherfucker might beat up our guy. Like, we're trying to get a check.
Starting point is 00:16:33 So just knowing that that's the construction under which it all happens. No, I will not be burdened by what has been. Right. Yeah. I mean, just just knowing like, oh, he has so many followers. So that's why we're doing it. It's like, oh, my God, like oh he has so many followers, so that's how we're doing it It's like oh my god like what are we at in the world, but this is where we're at Yeah, what is something you think is underrated Marcel underrated is Being in a good mood right now Everyone seems to be so gloom and doom doom scrolling all sad in their feelings
Starting point is 00:17:02 And I just I have you I keep having to remind people, I'm gonna remind listeners, because I know some of you are doing it as well, but like, he's not president yet. I keep telling people, think of it as New Year's Day. Like it's New Year's Eve right now. You fucking get your groove on right now. Celebrate right now, be happy right now.
Starting point is 00:17:19 Well, you know, things are a little more chill and, you know, donate money if you can to whatever, wherever. Even fucking a person, a homeless person, give them an extra five chill and you know donate money if you can to whatever wherever even fucking a person a homeless person Give them an extra five spot, you know, do something but this gloom and doom shit is not helping anybody. It's not fun I mean, I also understand not wanting to walk around smiling Especially if you're a white person because then people are just gonna want to punch you But also and people are gonna want to punch you no matter what so yeah right now Everybody's looking at like might as well get a high five while you're doing it.
Starting point is 00:17:45 Hey buddy, our top. Or you can buy our blue bracelets that you can rock around with. Let people know you're one of the safe ones. Is that a real thing that's happening? Yeah, it's a white woman thing. Yeah, they're like, I don't wanna get lumped in with the,
Starting point is 00:17:58 I'm the 47%, not the 53%. Yeah, it's kinda weird. It's all fucking. It's like, girl, we can tell, if we go go on your Instagram we can tell who you are I used to have a bit I mean I should still do it but it's like, you know Nobody knows who's actually racist and who's actually not racist like you you only you know, like only you know What your goes through your mind when you're on an elevator with a black guy white lady Okay, so like that's who you really are. And like, just accept that.
Starting point is 00:18:29 But like the whole blue bracelet shit is like, lady, get, get, I also feel like your listeners wouldn't do that. No, no, I think- The blue bracelets? No, they are an advertiser, Marcella, so. Oh shit, my bad. We're trying to make it seem fair. Shout out blue bracelets.com slash TVZ.
Starting point is 00:18:42 Get 50% off your first. Doing outreach to white ladies, a white ladies. An important movement. We got to meet them where they're at. I could just see people doing the opposite of the purse clutching and actually rolling up their sleeve. See that? Not just itching the side of their face with their blue bracelet on display.
Starting point is 00:19:05 I'm with the status quo. I just want to let you know, we gon' be all right. Oh no. Oh no. We're gonna be all right. Oh my God, there was a white, I was judging a roast battle and this white boy was wearing like a, it was like in the style of Lakers Like it said they're not there. What is it? What is the Kendrick song? I'm already I'm fucking blinking
Starting point is 00:19:30 I'm like, they're not like us. They're not like us. He has it says they not like us, but it's like Lakers You know, they're not like us, right? But it but it didn't it didn't say Lakers and says they they're not like us I was like judging him and I was like so distracted. I was like you're white They're not like us. And I was like, oh, Judge, you came in, I was like, so distracted. I was like, you're white. They are not like you, take that shirt off. And it always, it cracked me up anyways. I mean, look, it always, it's inevitable. Everything does get hijacked by white culture eventually.
Starting point is 00:19:55 Like there was a clip of like those people, I don't know what it was, it's some kind of business convention where all those white people were on stage like celebrating their company. And they're like, they're not like us. They're not like us. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:20:06 Pop around everybody in the convention. And you're like, oh boy. Hey speaking of the Super Bowl is gonna be fire. Because of Kendrick, like that performance is gonna be interesting no matter what. Now with what's going on, he's definitely gonna do something. I feel like he won't let it not be interesting. Which is what you need.
Starting point is 00:20:23 Cause there's gonna be a lot of pressure to make it not interesting. Yeah, he's going to be pushing. He's going to be pushing for sure. That's what's cool about him. So now everyone should be happy that he's a Super Bowl performer. Cut to him doing something really fucking just some shit. He's like, we need unity, y'all. We need to come together. Like, what the fuck? Just white woman in booty shorts It's like which is it I don't know what I believe Marcel what something you think is overrated. Oh my god. I had something written or written down in my head And I didn't actually write it down. I have no idea. I don't know. I have nothing. I'm sorry. That's cool
Starting point is 00:21:02 Yeah, I know you guys don't give a fuck. Yeah, all right. If I remember, I'm gonna say it, but I don't remember. Just blurt it out. When did you think of it? Like last night, and then you slept on it? In the shower like 30 minutes ago. Damn, what was it about?
Starting point is 00:21:15 What'd you think? I don't know, that's what I'm saying. I was like, oh, I'm gonna do this, and I'm gonna do that. But I had to wash my hair, do my hair. Yeah. Overrated suckings, Democrats. The Democrats. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:21:26 Hit them. But just right now. Just right now. What? The Democrats are overrated. Just right now. Just right now. Yeah, just right now. Yeah. Well, we'll see how many people just are like, No, you're right. The fucking Hakeem Jeffries is the one to lead the resistance.
Starting point is 00:21:44 Oh, man. We'll love to have this conversation privately. But The fucking Hakeem Jeffries is the one to lead the resistance Conversation privately, but yeah, I'm interested to see what happens. Yeah. I'm here. I'm not I'll tell you this I don't want to see the same faces. I mean, that's who's gonna The ones who are going to be at the table though So that's where people have to get in line. So they the thing is, if people if the democrats see people being like, well, what are we gonna do, then they're gonna be like, all right, we got them. We got we got right. We're all right. But if you were like, bro, I'm not trying to hear shit from you right now. I mean, who knows if that'll be in enough numbers, or they actually understand that something has to change. But I've been right now they are putting so much energy and not changing that. Oh, that made me think of a good overrated.
Starting point is 00:22:27 Thinking you can move whatever movement forward and whatever group you're in without providing mentorship. This like concept that a lot of people have where they're like, I'm so good at this, I don't need to teach anybody anything. Like everyone will learn from me. And it's like, no, pick someone to mentor, help that one person get better
Starting point is 00:22:47 so they can maybe replace you or maybe they can figure out who can replace you. Like that's the thing. I definitely have noticed it in comedy and obviously in politics. It's like people are so like, no, no, I'm the best at this thing. So I'm gonna never fucking share anything with anyone.
Starting point is 00:23:02 It's like, bro, that's not how this shit works. We all need to like, we need to be mentoring. We need to be helping people. We need to be lifting each other up. So not, not mentoring, I guess. But that, that, that tendency that people have. Yeah. And the person you mentor to replace you don't have them be 87 years old when
Starting point is 00:23:21 it's their time to replace you. It would be my advice. All right. We're going to take a quick break. What the fuck? Yeah. Advice. All right. We're going to take a quick break. We're going to come back and talk about the onion. We'll be right back. Hey guys, I'm Kate Max.

Starting point is 00:24:45 Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself, and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's OK.
Starting point is 00:25:20 Like, grace. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best. And you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before.

Hey everyone, this is Courtney Thorne-Smith, wherever you get your podcast. Hey everyone. This is Courtney Thorne Smith, Laura Layton and Daphne Zuniga. On July 8th, 1992, apartment buildings with pools were never quite the same as Melrose Place was introduced to the world.
Starting point is 00:28:06 It took drama and mayhem to an entirely new level. We are going to be reliving every hookup, every scandal, every backstab, blackmail and explosion and every single wig removal together. Secrets are revealed as we rewatch every moment with you. Special guests from back in the day will be dropping by. You know who they are. Sydney, Allison and Joe are back together on Still the Place with a trip down memory lane and back to Melrose Place. So listen to Still the Place on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen to podcasts. Yeah. There it is. If you go to the Infowars website, as I do every morning right now, all you get is a
Starting point is 00:29:00 message that reads, site unavailable till further notice. Till. Yeah. I like the colloquial. That's because the onion, the satire site that seems to have better politics than the democratic party in so many ways. Just bought info wars at a bankruptcy auction. Which we were just talking to you like, who's going to do it?
Starting point is 00:29:26 Who's going to buy it up? And like, I know fucking Alex Jones, he was even saying, maybe the good guys will come in, you know, Roger Schoener, Elon Musk. No, it was the fucking opposite. We had a fucking satire comedy website being like, yeah, this is ours now. And we got plans to fuck this thing up. I'm sure there is somebody in some like lead business position that sucks shit. As is often the case with media companies, but yeah, I've heard good things about
Starting point is 00:29:56 the whole Ben Collins regime of the onion. So it looks like their plan is to relaunch Infowars as a satirical site, partnering with advertiser, that phrase always gives me a little bit of a pause, a little nervous, partnering with advertisers. But the advertiser in this case is Everytown for Gun Safety, which is a nonprofit dedicated to ending gun violence that was founded in the aftermath of the Sandy Hook shooting. So.
Starting point is 00:30:22 Well, that's beautiful, supposedly. That is. That is supposedly beautiful, kind of. On its face, beautiful. Yeah. So, according to Ben Collins, the CEO of Onion's semi-fictional parent company, what is it? Like global tetrahedron. Tetrahedron, yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:40 Yeah. They are satirically evil. Parent company. They say Infowars will return in January as a parody of itself But he has not said how much they spent but they own it all though. They They bought every I thought somebody like yeah, I mean I need some lighting here. I might just like We got it all no, it's easier for the auctioneer, you know Yeah, yeah, exactly. I got a guy with a cash, everything. It's easier for the auctioneer, you know, to just pump it all in.
Starting point is 00:31:05 I got a guy with a cash deal, man. He's even gonna buy the shitty pills too, man. And they're like, oh, all right, yeah, cool. You never know. Yeah, they own all of it. Like even the intellectual property for Brainforce Plus, like smoking everything. So I guess, yeah, Alex Jones will have to find a new way
Starting point is 00:31:23 to just relabel Flintstones vitamins and tell people it'll help you live longer. I mean, I'm interested to see what happens because I remember when the Colbert report, you know, happened. It was really funny if you knew what you were watching, but people really believed that he was right wing. And I remember even when he exited and was, you know, transitioning into late night, late night, he had to this really Stephen Colbert had this really great Rolling Stone interview. He was just explaining basically who he was because
Starting point is 00:31:49 people hadn't really had that perspective. It was like, man, people have no idea. This guy's just like a good guy. Right. They so believed that character. Right. Who knows how far they go with it? Their press release comment on it is definitely it's like so, like tongue in cheek. I don't
Starting point is 00:32:10 know what they're what they're about to do with a shrewd mix of delusional, paranoia and dubious anti aging nutrition hacks. Infowars strives to make life both scarier and longer for everyone a commendable goal. They're a true unicorn capable of simultaneously inspiring public support for billionaires and stoking outrage at an inept federal state that can both assassinate JFK and, but can't even put a man on the moon. But yeah, they, they seem to be, I don't know, taking dead aim at all the
Starting point is 00:32:40 shit that is crazy about Infowars. Alex Jones seems unhappy, like mildly concerned. I don't know. What's your read on that? I think he's always unhappy. He's just posting freaked out videos from inside his studio, supposedly refusing to leave. Oh my God, really? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:00 Ladies and gentlemen, it is seven. Ladies and gentlemen. Now, that's I hear, and then Sierra comes in. I just got word 15 minutes ago that my lawyers and folks met with the US trustee over our bankruptcy this morning and they said they're shutting us down even without a court order. This morning, the Connecticut Democrats with the Onion newspaper... He didn't even face the like. He'd never heard of it. So they changed all the bidding rules, made it secret two days ago.
Starting point is 00:33:30 I had a bad feeling. I told you that just like they tried to shut us down back in late May without a court order. They're supposed to have a court order. There's going to be. Yeah. Yeah. Fucking cry. Let's see the end.
Starting point is 00:33:39 Are you actually crying? This is the tyranny of the new world order desperate to silence the American people. All right. We get it. We get it. Alex. Yeah. The best though is like on that channel Fox Now, that like, you know, weird subsidiary of Fox News, they have- The second site that I check every morning. Exactly. They have no idea how sad check- this is them talking about the purchase of the Infowars by The Onion. The Onion is a satirical site. It manages to persuade people to believe itself as the world's leading news publication,
Starting point is 00:34:12 offering highly acclaimed universally revered coverage of breaking international and local news events. It has 4.3 trillion daily readers. Jones has been saying on a show that if his actors bought it. You know what I was going to say when you were done showing these videos is I wonder how much of the right wing humor is going to be taken seriously because these people have no concept of satire. Right.
Starting point is 00:34:36 That is so wild. That's wild. That's just proof. Just reading it, like not even just being like it's a satire site. 4.3 trillion daily readers. 4.3 trillion daily listeners. Yes, yes, yes. Uh-. Yeah, truly listeners. Yes. Yes. Yes Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Yep. Yeah, that's really proved my point that I would hadn't made yet, but I was thinking
Starting point is 00:34:53 I think we say this that you know, cuz I I just picture like trolls, you know actually posting You know screenshots of them thinking that something is real and it's like I didn't even realize that people thought the onion was real. Like the news. I mean, that is like an interesting. Yeah. Alex Jones said, like, whatever the fuck that is. Not only do I not know, you obviously don't know what the onion is, person viewing this.
Starting point is 00:35:17 But then they'll probably see the headlines and they're like, they're right about the Democrats. Right. I mean, I think this is a good first baby step in the direction of more mean things done by people with good politics. I think that is something that's missing. Whatever the Democratic Party's whole just being like, I don't know why you're angry, things are good, we did a good job, just doesn't
Starting point is 00:35:45 seem to resonate with people. And so the Magicide has a monopoly on people who are feeling angry, you know? And so people who are willing to fucking be assholes in the name of the truth, I think is going to become more and more important in These next four new era. Oh, you're saying that my voice finally matters that people are gonna actually listen to me Time to arise Hope Rogan. Hope Rogan. Good show.
Starting point is 00:36:28 Hey. Hope Rogan. Yo. Yo. It's me, Hope Rogan. I'm green lighting us right now. Yeah. I'm writing it down.
Starting point is 00:36:36 Exactly. You're writing here first, people. Interesting conversations. Yeah, yeah, for sure, for sure. Just asking questions. Also, The Onion already had an Infowars parody in 2017 called Patriot Hole, but it kind of fizzled out. That's right. What? Yeah. Yep. Yeah, because Hole, but it kind of fizzled out. What?
Starting point is 00:36:45 Yeah. Yeah, cause they have no fucking sense of humor, these people. Right, right. And it's also like- They're using a slur, they're just like, this isn't comedy. Right.
Starting point is 00:36:54 It's also like hard to satirize because it's so transparently on its face, bad and stupid, but I, you know, they are the best at it. So are they? Okay. The onions, they're good. I'm just kidding. Relax, white dude.
Starting point is 00:37:11 Relax. They're fine. Okay. Alex Jones, relax. It's the fucking best. Yeah. Our writer, Jam said the fact that they had a website that failed and are now owning it for,
Starting point is 00:37:31 it's like if Mel Brooks made space balls, then bought the rights to Star Wars, the entire Star Wars franchise, like seven years later. Right. Yeah, I own that too. It'll be interesting. All right, blue sky, blue ski. I kinda like blue ski.
Starting point is 00:37:44 Yeah, you would say that. Is that how we try blue ski? Didn't, isn't that what Gondolin said yesterday? Ski, ski sky, blue ski. I kind of like blue ski. Yeah, you say that. Didn't, uh, isn't that what Gondolin said yesterday? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Blue. Someone someone said blue ski. Yeah, I like blue ski. I mean, I think a lot of people do because like Elon's dismantling of Twitter and ascent to the highest echelons of right wing fuckery has sent many people for the exits. And the election basically just cemented all of this.
Starting point is 00:38:05 So the day after election, Twitter saw like the biggest number of account deactivations possible. And that's like since Musk bought the platform, because that was the other time they saw just a ton of people be like, nah, we're gone. And- Yeah, this is bad even for you, man.
Starting point is 00:38:20 Yeah. I mean, and I've definitely seen it. Like you can see like follower counts going down and it makes sense Why the fuck any there's no real reason anymore to participate on Twitter for the longest time I was just like holding out for like, you know, the gallows humor and like black Twitter stuff That was like the only good parts to me But now the ship feels so cooked like I totally understand now that it's like man Why the fuck are we even like playing in this man's sandbox? So now they are all going to blue sky and threads. Unfortunately, I just want to say threads fucking saw. Wait a second. What? Yes. Yes.
Starting point is 00:39:04 It's not even like necessarily like the people because like it's less, you know, like wacky shit on there But it's so like sanitized and Adam Mosseri who's the head of Instagram when threads came out? He art he was like articulating He's like this is not a place where we're gonna like be like helping like hard live news or like public political discussion It's basically like a sanitized brand Fucking conversation space and so it's really doesn't have like that That's sort of same kind of vibe of early Twitter. I can't even use the word bitch on there.
Starting point is 00:39:30 Every time I use the word bitch, it's like, are you sure you wanna post this? On threads? Yeah. Wow. You should think before you post. Yeah, it's anytime I say anything, even slightly whatever, but I've noticed it's like,
Starting point is 00:39:44 bite bitch is like, which I was like, my specialist called bitch corrupt. I can't even post my special. This is crazy. Yeah. And the other thing too is like they also have like the threads feed is also like algorithmic fuckery where you really have no control over what you see. So also the other thing starting today, November 15th in the terms and conditions of X formally Twitter, we're calling it X now cause you know, we're gone. I mean, whatever we still hold the old Twitter. My house let it go.
Starting point is 00:40:14 Yeah. You can't even get through this sentence. I know it's just, it's fucking me up, but the terms and conditions. You old now playboy. I know. Okay. You was young when you were on there. Look at you.
Starting point is 00:40:24 You got a kid now. This was 2009 when I was, you know what I mean? Twitter's bedroom. All their stuff is still Oh my God. So empty nest indeed. Aye. So the also, so today, uh, Twitter is going to be training. It's AI on all your tweets starting today. Like
Starting point is 00:40:46 this is going forward from today. They're like, you grok will now be feasting upon all your tweets. And that's how we're going to get this thing talking like a regular person. It's also the day coincidentally, where Texas becomes like the legal venue for any like legal dispute for anyone that has some beef with Twitter and the court that like and according to the terms and conditions, the court that will hear these cases will be in Tarrant County, which is just like it would like near Austin and the judge who oversees that court has a bunch of Tesla stock. So you know what I mean? It's a fucking rap. You know, it's it's it's yeah, they're they've, they're like, we're locking it up.
Starting point is 00:41:25 We're locking it up. Corruption. I've actually heard it's not as unfair as that seems. You actually solve all of your problems in a fair corporate arbitrage situation where they just get to shoot at you, but you do get to like move around. So it's like not a lot of people are like, that's a firing squad. You actually get to like, try and move around as much as you can with your legs. Oh yeah. Your leg shackles or only a foot. Squid games in Texas.
Starting point is 00:41:53 Texas squid games. Texas games. Woo. Tell them singing. Texas squid games. This is crazy. But all the beautiful voice by the way. We should just stop with that.
Starting point is 00:42:04 What a voice. Thank you so much. I thought you were kind of doing the first voice by the way, we should just stop doing that. What a voice. I thought you're kind of doing the first cut is the deepest sort of melody right there. I didn't I wasn't sure I was trying to fit around. But anyway, I think this is what is made like blue sky comparatively like a nice breath of fresh air because it has like actual blocking functions where you like I don't want to hear a fuck from this person and I don't want them to see me that you can do that on blue sky. And also I think the one part that was nice is there's like two different feeds.
Starting point is 00:42:27 There's like one where they're suggesting stuff and one that's like following. And you can have that display however you want, but like the chronological order of the tweets makes that feel like the old school Twitter when like some shit was happening. Did you catch that? He said, yeah, I don't know. I don't know what else to say. I'm not over her.
Starting point is 00:42:43 I'm not over her. Yeah, yeah. I don't know. I don't know what else to say. He's not over. I'm not over her. I'm not over her. Yeah. You just said your ex's girlfriend. You said your ex's name. Yeah, I know.
Starting point is 00:42:56 I thought I was trying to know why you bring it up. What the fuck? You're down bad for you. I'm not sure. You just bring it up in front of me. You don't even notice it. You didn't even hear it. That's what's fucking crazy about it. I didn't mean it.
Starting point is 00:43:08 I didn't mean it, too. I didn't mean it. I can't believe it is over. No, no, you're my hyena. Don't worry, man. I didn't mean to say that. But yeah, I guess all of that just does feel a little bit more familiar.
Starting point is 00:43:20 The lack of racial slurs feels just a little bit better. So anyway, follow us all. We're all going to blue. Are you on blue sky, Marcella? I am on blue sky. I just, so I've been on it since what? To that summer of last year. I wasn't, I was not active on it.
Starting point is 00:43:33 And then now I get back in there. Cause threads it's like, I'm finally feeling like thread sucks. People do not have a sense of humor. People are, I got accused of stealing someone's quote unquote threads. I'm like, what year is this? Was this Twitter where like no one knows how humor works? I don't know. I need to get out of here. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So I'm like, and then when I went back to blue sky, I was like, oh shit, all the comedians are on here. This is where they were. Yeah. And people are chilling. People have been waiting for us. Yeah, shut out I came that's I've seen y'all on there
Starting point is 00:44:06 You make sure you follow everybody. I love Follow me. God. Yeah me you guys you're fucking you guys actually have a sense of humor People that don't there's someone who really there's a there's a couple people that really hate me and Chris Crofton I just want to say on behalf of me and Chris. We don't care We care though. We care. So just keep talking. We're with you. Tell us what you want. What are you on Blue Sky?
Starting point is 00:44:32 I think it's just my name, right? Maybe it's Marcella Comedy. I don't know. I think I did. Maybe it might be my name, but I'm pretty sure it's Marcella Comedy. The fact that it's the number one app in the app store is wild. Yeah, Marcella comedy dot blue sky. B-sky, B-sky, B-sky.
Starting point is 00:44:50 Blue sky. So an individual threads is called a threads. Is it like, I don't know. It's a thread. It's a thread. Okay. But then what's a thread of threads? A threads?
Starting point is 00:45:03 And so blue sky is like an individual blue sky is a ski. A ski. Maybe it could just be like a cloud. You're in the sky. Oh my God. That's fucking trippy. Oh my God. That's crazy.
Starting point is 00:45:14 I really got to say I miss SoCal Latinos just talking because like here in Chicago, the Latinos don't really have that little flavor of, bitch, where are you obviously from this specific? Yeah, they don't have that fun. Socal latinas are so fucking so distinct. Yeah, yeah, it's a whole cadence. It really is, it's fun. It's a rhythm, it's a melody.
Starting point is 00:45:33 That's sad. Selena Gomez and Melissa Villasenor, they fucking nailed it on that sketch, to be honest, you know. All right, let's take a quick break. No, what if we don't? What if I said we're not taking a break? Jack, why don't you do your impression of a so-called Latina?
Starting point is 00:45:48 Yeah, Jack, you racist. You know we've been waiting to do this. So I could do it without getting in trouble, guys. That's the new blue bracelet. You know what I mean? Hit us with that accent. And blue sky is the new blue bracelet, my boy.

You! Dun dun dun dun. You know what's funny? I'll look it right, I love you to my boo, but like you really long and just be like, in parentheses be like, soldier boy you. I love you!
Starting point is 00:52:34 I love you! You! Soldier boy, tell him. All right, Thanksgiving! What Jack, now what are we gonna about, Jack? Boring shit. We're going to go boring. Boring. We're going to go boring on this one.
Starting point is 00:52:48 Dunk on me, I think, is the plan. You're going to spice it up. No. And then he's going to beg for forgiveness. I'm so sorry. And then I'm going to make little sounds like, mm, because I actually like it. OK.
Starting point is 00:53:03 Maybe I will leave. She's like, what the fuck, y'all? Don't listen to this podcast anymore. I think I just got me too. All right, Jesse Waters. We talked about how he got disinvited from Thanksgiving. Fucking loser. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:21 From his mom. His mom is a character on the show even. People know his mom. She's like character on the show even people know his mom She's like like his live mom. Yeah, don't be weird Do you think she really disinvited him or he's just saying that probably just saying it? I don't know it also I mean it feels like the kind of thing that he would say to make himself feel more like like he's he's in the same fight Is it right right yours? You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:53:45 I feel like she'd be like, don't make me disinvite you. Oh, you would disinvite me? And then he'd use that as a way. Right, it's like, my mom disinvited me. I can't disinvite you, baby, I love you. Exactly, I would never do that. I just said that to get you to, you know. Maybe he was a little bit less mean to Kamala Harris.
Starting point is 00:54:02 Yeah, maybe that's what it was. She was like, you need to stop saying that stuff or I'm not gonna invite you to things. That's my theory because there's no fucking Harris. Yeah, maybe that's what it was. He was like, you need to stop saying that stuff or I'm not gonna invite you to things. That's my theory because there's no fucking way. Yeah, we should look closely because if we would check the social media posts because if he's with the family, then it was all cap in America.
Starting point is 00:54:14 He could also like play the log game and just be like, pretend like he didn't go. Yeah, yeah, right. He's like, don't post me here. Don't post me here Thanksgiving. Don't say your precious little baby. Someone named Rick Taylor, a Senate candidate, Democratic Senate candidate from back in the day posted that he canceled Thanksgiving plans
Starting point is 00:54:34 with his aunt claiming my home is not open to traders. And then there's a Yale psychiatrist who suggested that women and the LGBTQ plus community have the right to bail on holiday plans with people who just voted to strip away their fundamental human rights. Just them though. Yeah, just them. No one else. Everyone else is forced to go. Everyone else. I also feel like this is a good reminder that everyone has free will.
Starting point is 00:55:00 It's really wild. I do need a Yale psychiatrist to sign off on all my plans, unfortunately. Like it's really silly that people need to be like told that they don't have to spend time. People who watch MSNBC? Yeah, that they need to be told that they don't need to spend time with their family. That's like, any year, by the way.
Starting point is 00:55:15 I remember one year, I don't know, I must have been 25 or 26. Me and my dad were fucking at each other's throats. Right. And I was like, I'm not coming to Thanksgiving. Like, if you're gonna act like this, because there's no way. And like I did this whole protest, and then my mom was like, no, not coming to Thanksgiving. Like if you're gonna act like this, because there's no way, like I did this whole protest and then my mom was like, no, you have to be here.
Starting point is 00:55:28 It was all so dramatic. It was fucking the most soap opera, telenovela shit. And I ended up going, so I was like, I still want to eat my mom's food. You know, at the end of the day, that turkey, that pancobabal, it's undefeated. So, I mean, if, A, the people in your family can't cook,
Starting point is 00:55:45 just don't go. If they, that is the main lesson. Come on. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, definitely. You don't need to wait until they take away your rights. You can just not go because that bitch, you know how many people have told me
Starting point is 00:55:58 once they've tasted my turkey that their mother's turkey was never that good? I'm stunned to find this out. Salvadorian turkey is unmatched. And people tell me this shit and I'm like, how the fuck do you keep going back to Thanksgiving if you want to make a turkey? It's just fucking hella juicy.
Starting point is 00:56:13 I know, are you brining it? Or like what's the- We do brine it, but there's a specific salsa that we use. That salsa that you're talking about. So imagine a 10 times better version of that salsa. It's like watery, but it's so flavorful than what we do with it. And like, I have had people from multiple backgrounds.
Starting point is 00:56:28 Black, white, Latino. And it's cooked in that? No, I'm intrigued already. I'll send you a picture. I'll send you a picture. But it is, it's like slow cooked in this, you go and you baste it, but like you have to try it. It's really not true about either of our moms.
Starting point is 00:56:42 Their turkeys are good, but please keep telling us how to make this amazing turkey that you speak of. I know for my mom, cannot cook it. She's from Japan. They don't even use fucking ovens. Now, the real Thanksgiving cooking was done by my black family. And that's, you know, that shit.
Starting point is 00:56:58 We had smoked turkeys every year. And that shit was good. But that's what was crazy was finding out some of my black homies being like, oh yeah, no, my mom does not know how to make a turkey. And I'm like, what? That's crazy. But it's one of those things, you know, like you got to really dry bird.
Starting point is 00:57:10 Yeah, yeah, exactly. That's why you have to brine it or smoke it. Anyway, all that to say, so what are the white people doing that are getting disinvited from Thanksgiving? They're white people, right? Angry. Yeah, they're about they're gearing up. They're stretching out, stretching gearing up, they're stretching out, they're stretching each other
Starting point is 00:57:26 out, getting ready. They're clapping the baby powder hands in the air, getting ready to take away people's rights. They're also just outraged and talking about how this is fucking un-American. Newsmax aired a segment raging about people scrapping Thanksgiving plans with mega family members, calling it pathetic and crazy. Wow. One panelists argued that the Democrats are supposed to be the party
Starting point is 00:57:51 where everyone is welcome. Are you fucking for, oh, this is the goal. Oh, that's right. The tolerant left. That doesn't mean tolerating your bigotry. You fucking losers. It means being open-minded to like helping people. So this is the beginning of that segment.
Starting point is 00:58:08 Yeah. So there's another one kind of comes to a realization on the air in this segment. All right. So the election, it might be over. It is over, but political polarization is not. Donald Trump's win over Kamala Harris is leading some liberals who are still upset to cut off ties with family and friends who voted for Trump ahead of the holiday season. Former Democratic candidate for Senate from Ohio, Rick Taylor. Okay, so that was the intro here. Let's open it up to the panel of disgusting people to talk about how they will eat dry turkey. All right. Happy holidays. Joining me now, host of the Michelle Tafoya podcast, Michelle Tafoya, and the co-founder of 76research.com, and host of the Trish Regan show, Trish Regan.
Starting point is 00:58:50 Welcome to both of you. All right, Michelle, I'm gonna start with you. That sounds like absolute pathetic conversation. These are friends and family. Part of what makes this country great is having difference of opinion. But here you have people getting out there basically saying that whomever voted for Trump must be bad.
Starting point is 00:59:10 It's crazy. Crazy is a good word. And I have lived through some of this in my own family. I'm hesitant to say that, but it's true. The Yale psychologist, psychiatrist that appeared on MSNBC with Joy Reid. I looked at her website. She describes herself as doctor, activist, researcher, and anti-racism educator. So there's a lot to her personality. There's a lot to her background.
Starting point is 00:59:36 She's not just a counselor. I think... Okay, I can't even handle this. There's a lot to her personality. I'm going to point out that this person's head is in the game, and we don't like that. You know what I mean? How could you be anti-racist?
Starting point is 00:59:49 That just feels so weird. I just love when people are like, look, I think we should still have a nice dinner after I told you that there should be no exceptions for abortions, even including rape and ins... Like imagine having that conversation and be like, oh, here's a turkey I made for you the thing that people say cuz I have I have friends who I've spoken to who are like
Starting point is 01:00:11 Kind of like it having fucking friction with like in-laws and shit Sure, and like when they point out specific things I always say she's like but that's not what that's not the reason I voted Because also because then they do a lot of them are doing this, a lot of people both on the left and the right are doing this magical thinking of like, Trump doesn't mean a lot of this stuff, right? He doesn't mean that's not what he just says this stuff. It's like, he they are for real going to be deported.
Starting point is 01:00:39 I mean, they're going to be hitting this stuff on behalf of the org, like the places are going to be doing and carrying out all this atrocious shit. It's like, no lady, I know you're not physically gonna drag someone across the border, but for the next four years, more than four years, we're gonna see some really atrocious shit on the news and we're hearing like,
Starting point is 01:00:58 I don't wanna enjoy my meal with you bitch. I will feel sort of bad about that when I'm changing the channel. I will feel sort of bad about that when I'm changing the channel. I will feel sort of bad. And that's what's crazy is I think too, watching so many left or democratic people say that they're like, oh, for the first time I'm gonna cut ties.
Starting point is 01:01:17 I'm like, for the first time. God damn. Y'all are late. I've been fucking getting into it with my dad since I was seven years old. Like, hey, you ain't gonna be my daddy if you keep talking about women like this, you know? Like, I've been crazy.
Starting point is 01:01:30 So like, when I get it, like, okay, sometimes you wait until your fucking angst teenage years or whatever, but like, guys, if you are deep into your 30s and you have never like had these, I had a homegirl, maybe I've talked about this before. She's a comedian. She's great But she's a little stupid because she would never when she was in it when we were in Twitter She would never find out the political beliefs of the men she was dating and I was like, oh you should probably know that Especially if you're considering
Starting point is 01:01:57 Accepting a proposal from this man. She's like but why and I'm like because if he's conservative and you marry him I guarantee you won't have a career in comedy. Just like no, he's not like that and I'm like, because if he's conservative and you marry him, I guarantee you won't have a career in comedy Just like no, he's not like that. And I was like girl. Yeah, I know what his beliefs are Right sure enough staunch Republican shit freaked her out She had no idea that he had these really crazy views and I was like, how are you not having these conversations with people? You know, like I think a lot of people are having trouble connecting those dots like what that means. Because a lot of times so many American families diffuse the situation like, let's not talk about politics.
Starting point is 01:02:30 Let's not talk about politics. Let's not talk about it. It starts with the turkey, by the way. Yeah, it starts with not let's not talk about the turkey tasting like shit. And let's not talk furthermore. Yeah, your father, though, let's talk about politics. Let's just talk about this turkey. This turkey is dry. This is so you made just talk about this turkey. This turkey is dry, this turkey,
Starting point is 01:02:45 so you made bad choices about this turkey too, bitch. Because meanwhile, while you're not talking about the fucking over-policing and anti-black racism, this shit is metastasizing around you, and you get to this point now where everybody is gonna feel it. And I think that's just kinda weird to watch, now that normal, sort of cis- het white people's rights and livelihoods
Starting point is 01:03:08 are in the crosshairs, like, oh, now we got problems to solve. This is from my perspective as a black Asian person, person of color in this country. Or some people know him as a Blasian. A Blasian, Black and East even. Many people in this, like, especially black people have known since the dawn of this place that this country is an exercise in cruelty. And but and you know, you can tell about how black people vote. They said, it can get worse. It can. It really can. And I'm in trust me, you don't even want to
Starting point is 01:03:37 see that not even that this is great. But it can get fucking a lot worse. And like there was this, I don't know there there, we had these moments to actually reckon with issues, again, like with over policing and anti black racism, and all we got was performative allyship. So, so many liberals just felt like, while it was an objectively bad thing, like racism, it didn't really need any urgency, because their lives, as they see it are separate from black people or trans people,
Starting point is 01:04:04 there was no urgency about tackling problems around like black maternal mortality rates. So now we're at a point where every pregnant person could be at risk. So again, this habit of turning a blind eye to other American suffering or thinking that it's not that that's I'm separate from that. That is how we got here because it's not enough for people to get that. Like people have to understand like you have to stand up for everyone's rights like you do your own or else they begin crumbling and you get here and now guess what? Now everybody's going to have to do the work and I hope they're ready. They were so on board with caring about the suffering of
Starting point is 01:04:40 those groups that the second they lost this election, they were like, our problem was caring too much about the, the, you know, the trans thing is really the reason we lost this election. Where Kamala Harris got a lower portion of the youth vote than any Democratic presidential candidate in recent memory. It's because you were too woke and not because of ignoring people's complaint, young people's complaints about the genocide in Gaza.
Starting point is 01:05:04 Yeah. It was that. Am I following this woke is broke logic? If I am following right, so abandoning vulnerable groups will help signal to other marginalized people that this is the party that will help you and protect you. Am I getting that right? Yes, that's exactly correct.
Starting point is 01:05:21 Finally. God, you guys are dense. Anyway, welcome to the whole Rogan experience. Oh, I keep male viewers listening. They're like moan. They're like, she'll do it. Yeah, really funny detail to this character. Your time's like workers of the world rise up.
