It's Tuesday, July 17th, 2019. My name is Jack O'Brien, a.k.a. Jack Seat Driver. And I'm thrilled to be joined, as always, by my co-host, Mr. Miles Gray. Hi, my name is Miles Gray, a.k.a. Scarlett Johansson as Miles Gray. And that comes from Taylor Fleming at Taylor T. Fleming. I feel like she would bring some much needed gravitas to the role.
Starting point is 00:02:50 My mom used to try and tell her about me when she would interview her for movie junkets. Be like, yo, my son, he's like your age. Whatever. He lives with me. He's always a fan of your work. That's so funny. And you're still a fan of her work and all of her ideas big fan big supporter of ideas big supporter of art and the ability because because
Starting point is 00:03:14 art the argument because art right you could do whatever what just because you know she's a white woman she's not supposed to be able to do like those warm-ups in acting class where she pretends to be a different animal? Yeah, exactly. What's next? I can only play Scarlett Johansson in documentaries? She's going to marry her dog? Yep. Well, we are thrilled to be joined in
Starting point is 00:03:35 our third seat by the very funny Matt Lieb. What's up, man? Matt Lieb here, aka Fat Dweeb, according to all of the bullies in Elemental. Ouch. Fat Dweeb. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:47 Well, at least they did it with both names. I mean, that's pretty good. Yeah, no, they were very creative. Yeah. Were you fat? Nah, it just rhymes with Matt. See, those are lazy. You know, like, they're not as cutting, you know?
Starting point is 00:03:59 Yeah, yeah. Like, fucking, what can they call you? Well, you know. Damn, there's nothing really good with Matt. Well, Rat. Rat. Oh, Rat Dweeb. Rat's nothing really good with Matt. Well, Rat. Rat. Oh, Rat Dweeb. Rat Dweeb.
Starting point is 00:04:07 Yeah, Bat Dweeb. No, Rat Dweeb is fucked up. Yeah, Rat Dweeb is like low-key anti-Semitic, and everyone there was also Jewish, so they probably wouldn't have done it. Oh, they knew better. They're like, nah. Okay, never mind. We won't say that.
Starting point is 00:04:18 We'll say Fat Dweeb. Yeah, we'll call him Fat. We'll just call him at his appearance. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, Matt, we're thrilled to have you back here. Dude, I'm so glad to be back. Yeah, man. We're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment.
Starting point is 00:04:29 First, we're going to tell our listeners a few of the things we're talking about, such as the shambong. We'll let you know if that is something to do with ShamWow or something to do with champagne. something to do with ShamWow or something to do with champagne. We're going to talk about Trump's racially tinged tweets from over the weekend. Divisive language. Yes, charged, racially charged tweets. Clan-fueled Twitter. Yeah, and just find different ways to talk about that without calling it racist. And just find different ways to talk about that without calling it racist.
Starting point is 00:05:13 We're going to talk about the Seth Rich conspiracy theory that arose during the 2016 presidential election. And we found out in the past, I guess, nine days that that was actually planted by Russian intelligence. We're going to talk about. Oh, snap. We're going to talk about just how... Probably why the president was feeling a little bit extra yesterday was because of how... That's a new one. The tweets were a little bit extra.
Starting point is 00:05:37 Yeah, he was being extra. A little spicy. Yeah. Speaking of cultural appropriation, our foremost thinker on that subject, Scarlett Johansson, had some things to say in an interview over the weekend. We're going to talk about that and the controversy over the new James Bond being a black woman. Or 007. Right, exactly.
Starting point is 00:05:59 It's not true. But we'll talk about that. It's not true. But we'll talk about that. But first, Matt, what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are, man? Oh, well, one of the most recent things I searched was how to treat a stye. Oh. It's garlic.
Starting point is 00:06:17 You get the potato one? What it revealed. What? Did you get the potato? There's the potato cure for it? There's a potato. I used to get a lot of styes when I lived in New York City. I've got a saloosh. Specifically New York.
Starting point is 00:06:27 Got a bad habit of rubbing my eyes after digging through trash. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, I don't know what it was. It was also like in my early 20s when I wasn't sleeping much and staying up all night. And that could have had something to do with it. Interesting. So you put a potato on it? For a hot compress, rather than using like a hot washcloth.
Starting point is 00:06:44 Yeah, yeah. If you heat a potato and then wrap that in a wet washcloth, it stays hot for much longer. Oh, shit. I never even thought about that. Here I was. I was just pouring boiling water on my eye. Just directly into the eye. Yeah, directly on it.
Starting point is 00:06:58 I got to look good, you know? So I needed that stye to go away. Yeah, yeah. You have just all sorts of blisters around your eyes. Yeah, everything's worse now, but the stye's gone. Yes. Didn't Charlotte Lauriston, when she was in way back, say the Haitian cure was garlic on the stye?
Starting point is 00:07:14 Yeah, I think that's right. I think you're making the joke of like, well, I heard it was Irish potatoes because I'm Irish, but she was garlic. I heard it was latkes. Yeah, no, I just put a wet washcloth on it and just kind of waited it out. Instead of it getting
Starting point is 00:07:33 better, it just kept getting worse. I just realized that when you have a sty, you just have to ignore it and just watch people look at it. It's a very fun game where when you're talking to someone at work and you just watch them look at it it's very fun game where when you're talking to someone at work and you just watch them kind of look at the eye over and over again and then you just go you're looking at my eye yeah you're looking at my style i gotta start every time they say i you're
Starting point is 00:07:55 like what what about my eye what about my eye i just said i'm going to the bathroom look at your weird eye yeah why would i look at is there something wrong with that weird eye? Yeah, I mean, that must be what it's like to have like a lazy eye or, you know, like a glass eye. Yeah, yeah, yeah. All day. It's a bummer, dude. Yeah, it's gotta be tough. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:16 Because I'm all about eye contact. I just, you know, walk into a room. Strong eye contact. And just make strong eye contact with everybody because I'm very confident. Yeah, it's hard to keep eye contact. There's one thing you know about Jack. It's his laser-like eye contact. Yeah, that's right.
Starting point is 00:08:32 Fucking melt a glacier with it. I have the eye contact of early career Snoop Dogg. You would always look at his shoes when he was rapping. What a very specific reference. I just remember the first time I saw him. You're like, he's like me. The first time I saw him, when he was looking at the camera, I was like, I don't like this dude anymore.
Starting point is 00:08:55 Believe in yourself, Calvin. What is something you think is overrated? Stranger Things. Oh, shit. Done with it. People, you know, people like it. I think it's only okay. Boom.
Starting point is 00:09:11 Wow. Spicy ass take. God damn. Yeah. Everyone's like, oh, those kids are so cute or whatever. I think they're mediocre at best. In terms of cuteness. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:22 Like, I think they, uh-uh. Gross. I think almost died. Mediocre cuteness. I. Like, I think they, uh-uh, gross. Jack almost died. Mediocre cuteness, I love. Not even that cute. Yeah. Standard cute. I think Millie Bobby Brown, you know, actually she's pretty good.
Starting point is 00:09:34 She's a good actress. I got to say, you know, when she cries, I cry. It's an amazing skill that she has. But everyone else, trash. I haven't seen the third season yet. Don't. That's my next thing I'm going to put on my list. You're missing nothing. I miss nothing seen the third season yet. Don't. That's my next thing. I'm going to put some of this.
Starting point is 00:09:45 You're missing nothing. I miss nothing. You miss nothing. Oh, wow. Okay. It's just, yeah, it's a bunch of member when kind of like porn. Yeah, member. And that's the thing.
Starting point is 00:09:55 I liked the first and second season. I thought the storyline was good. This is just another like, we're going to close the portal. Right, right. How many times are you going to open the portal, close the portal? After a while, I'm like, just let the maybe the portal do its thing yeah let the you know the upside down comes in this world see what happens maybe it's chill yeah yeah that's what we have that's when we know the writer's room they've given up yeah maybe the whole thing has been
Starting point is 00:10:17 upside down or this season be fucked up and if we have to bail ourselves out like because it was the upside down the whole time yeah right yeah they're gonna lost it yeah i definitely think they're months the stranger things and i'm saying this as an expert who has only seen the first season uh the that the stranger things monster is like kind of a weak point it's like oh wow no it is it is the weakest point because it's like you're i'm more interested in kind of like what's going on in this world. The world building is fun. Right, the world.
Starting point is 00:10:47 And then there's this spooky monster. Right. And it's like I got lots of teeth and it's – I don't care about that. Yeah, and the upside down. Do you learn more about like this weird – where Millie Bobby Brown came from? Because I remember that was what they were kind of teasing out in the second season. They don't – no, no. You get nothing from the best storyline in season two.
Starting point is 00:11:05 You get nothing about Millie Bobby Brown's character. Wow. Zero. I guess I will have to watch it. Yeah, yeah. Do you learn anything about where New Coke came from? No, but you do. There is a very weird conversation about New Coke in the middle of it that feels very like
Starting point is 00:11:23 is New Coke coming? Yeah, is it coming back or something? No, it is. That that's what it was i knew it was some corporate tie-in was it that painful oh my god it was as i was watching it i was like it tastes great you thought you were in the fucking upside i thought i was in the upside down where like everyone's like what if we just said fuck it and made uh ads in the middle of shows just super apparent right what if like you know in the middle of uh fucking game apparent. What if, like, you know, in the middle of fucking Game of Thrones, someone just literally drank a Starbucks cup rather than have it on the side? It was like, it is the most painfully obvious corporate tie-in, but I was like, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Starting point is 00:11:56 They wouldn't do this. They wouldn't do this. I bet New Coke is not coming back because that'd be stupid, and oh my God. Yeah, it came back just for this. And I'm tired of that kid that finn wolfhard wolfhard yo he's very nice i worked i did an interview with him and i could not believe he's he's from british columbia most people i've met from british columbia are very chill people well maybe he's just a good actor but when he's being kind of a dick in this season there was
Starting point is 00:12:20 part of me that was just like oh that's him's him in real life, and I've decided all child actors should be- Cancelled. Cancelled and illegal and replace the CGI. Thank you. Or Scarlett Johansson. Or Scarlett Johansson. She can play any child. She can play any child.
Starting point is 00:12:32 Yes. She's got that skill. Yeah, she does. And that skin. Like when they're talking about New Coke, do they talk about the fact that it was a Bill Cosby-aligned product launch? They did not bring up the cost. That would have been interesting.
Starting point is 00:12:48 Yeah, they would have been like, and there's one thing we know, is he will never be canceled. That's what they said out loud. It was crazy. Uncancellable. Uncancellable. What is something you think is underrated?
Starting point is 00:12:58 Tooth and throat singing. Whoa, hell yeah. Tooth and throat singing is the fucking shit. I've been obsessed with this band, Hun Hur 2. Okay. The metal band? No, no, no, no. They're more traditional.
Starting point is 00:13:13 I've listened to the metal bands. I think the metal bands are rad, but these guys just do all the traditional songs. All their songs are about mountains and horses and shit, but there's something about the way they sing about mountains and horses. It's mostly the To and throat singing part. Right. But it's like, it's just such beautiful music.
Starting point is 00:13:29 And it makes me feel like such like a Berkeley liberal. Yeah. I feel like I should have a ponytail when I'm listening to it. Cause I'm like, this is just a fascinating song. So just beautiful and spiritual and like, but I feel like an asshole listening to it, but it's so good
Starting point is 00:13:45 and the it's like the only type of singing where like two voices are coming out yeah overtones which is so hard to do you can do you can do two notes at the same time and you can if you can whistle you can actually do three yeah oh shit if you're doing like the what yeah as kids we do the tractor beam right yeah on top of your tube and throat singing wow you're like the new razzle wait that was amazing well that's just humming and whistling wow i hate it yeah i can see why you're blown away by this this is it man dude mouth sounds are so rad.
Starting point is 00:14:25 Have you ever seen someone snap? I've seen, I can do that. I'm not. Look at that. But I can. Can you whistle? Not just groan while you do it. Nice.
Starting point is 00:14:38 Nailed it. What's a myth? I think I just had an orgasm. What is a myth, Matt? What is a myth? What's something people think is true or false? This is going to be like a hot take, but Mercury retrograde is some bullshit. I know it's happening.
Starting point is 00:14:52 Isn't bullshit, you said? It is bullshit. It is some bullshit. Oh, fuck you. I know it's happening. I know that literally Mercury is in retrograde, which has something to do with the moon or Mercury. One of those things. Or driving a Mercury sable.
Starting point is 00:15:04 Or driving a Lincoln Mercury Sable. But honestly, I feel like it happens a lot. I feel like every other day someone's like, it's Mercury retrograde. That's why we're not communicating well. And it's like, no, it can't always be that. Sometimes it's just like you just know a lot of flakes. It's not Mercury retrograde. Some people are just bad at planning. I mean, people say it's that, and I just like you just know a lot of flakes right it's not mercury retrograde some people are just bad at planning right i mean people say it's that and i just you know i just don't believe
Starting point is 00:15:30 in it we just had a very similar take from one of our guests last week that they were saying that they're tired of people blaming their personality defects on their on the moon astrological side yeah yeah i mean it's just yeah it's is astrology having a moment right now or is it just because we live in la no it's having i think it's constantly been in it's in a perpetual moment yeah well that's true every moment in a way is astrology yeah because of the moon and star and the infinite present and then yeah yeah but no no But no, no, it's having a moment. It's having a moment because we're living the age of the legit grifter, you know? Like people who were grifters before were kind of relegated to, you know, everyone knew they were grifting, so they stayed away. Now we got everyone being a grifter, so you might as well get in on a fucking crystal grift.
Starting point is 00:16:22 Yeah. So astrology grifts are coming back. I don't think there's anything wrong with an astrology grift, though. There's nothing inherently wrong with it, just the way there's nothing inherently wrong with religion. Right. It's just the use of it in order to gain income and stuff like that. It does feel like it's possibly a religion replacement. It is a religion replacement.
Starting point is 00:16:40 Yeah, because you're giving it up to a higher power. Yeah, there's nothing wrong with that. Because you're giving it up to a higher power. Yeah, there's nothing wrong with that. I feel like it's a good thing for some people just as long as, you know, they don't use it for evil. Right. Like, it'd be crazy if someone created, like, an astrology army. Like, all these crystal people were like, activate.
Starting point is 00:17:00 And then everyone, they got arms and stuff. Just a fight to the death between the sun. Crystal-powered fucking weaponry. Marianne Williamson leads an army of crystal people to just like... Holy shit. Holy shit, dude. That needs to be a movie, man. I'm into that. I think it's called Battlefield Earth.
Starting point is 00:17:16 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, this year, according to astrologers, Mercury retrogrades three times. March 5th through the 28th was the last time. This next one was July 7th to August 2nd. And then the next one is from Halloween until November 20th. I mean, okay. So then what? People are going to have real shitty Halloween.
Starting point is 00:17:38 What is supposed to be happening when- Just bad communication. Bad communication. Bad communication. That's like- Just our signals are off. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:46 That's literally just every time my girlfriend and I don't communicate, she's like, Mercury's in retrograde. That's a problem. That's why we didn't. I'm like, nah. Nah. It's because you're not good at Google. You know, you got to learn that Google calendar.
Starting point is 00:17:59 You communicate through Google. Oh, Google calendar. Yeah, you got to put stuff on your calendar, girl. Got to. Man, yeah, you got to do, I'm in the same boat. Yeah. Where it's like, I put it on your Google Calendar. Yeah, you got to put something on your calendar, girl. Got to. Man, yeah, you got to do that. I'm in the same boat. Yeah. It's like, I put it on your Google Calendar.
Starting point is 00:18:09 Yeah, you should know where I'm at. And I'm like, shit, I will begin looking at the calendar. Yes. Oh, okay, you are the one who doesn't check the calendar. I am the one who does not. Yeah, I am too. I'm such a fucking space person. Yeah, me too.
Starting point is 00:18:21 Most people will know this about me, but yeah. All right, let's talk about the shambong shambong shake a bomb bomb shambong bomb what the fuck is this thing okay i couldn't tell so first you said do you know about the shambong i look at you dead in your eye i go what the fuck do you and i'm of course already making eye contact with you because i'm a very confident laser focused man my eyelids were burnt. And, yeah, you said, do you know about the Shambong? And I had the same reaction as you, Matt.
Starting point is 00:18:54 I said, does it have something to do with ShamWow? It sounds like it. And no, it is. And then I saw a picture and still couldn't figure out what it was. Yeah, so I'm cruising, what do you call that, Instagram. And one of these ads comes up and it looks like a bunch of fun like one percenter wannabes with these like weird fucking champagne flutes that look like crack pipes or just some kind of fucking bass i don't know what the fuck and anyway it's like shambong we're loving it and i look up into it a little bit more i asked dj daniel he's heard of it apparently it's just Shambong. We're loving it. And I look up into it a little bit more. I asked DJ Daniel.
Starting point is 00:19:25 He's heard of it. Apparently, it's just a way to fucking slam champagne way quicker, like beer bomb for champagne. And there's something. I know. It's like it's a fun gag gif, but part of me finds it like really fucking disconcerting. It's like peak class cosplay where you're consuming expensive liquor or alcohol as quickly as possible with no regard for its value like there was something about it that i was like this is fucking odd and also just for anybody who's drank champagne to excess it's not the shit you want to be drinking
Starting point is 00:19:57 to excess yeah oh yeah it is just the sugar fucks your fucking soul forever. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's the worst thing. It's a bummer, but also that's so fucking sick. It is tight. But that's what's funny when you look at it. Everyone's like, this is tight as shit, dude. No, dude, that is so fucking chill. Because you know when you're like fucking,
Starting point is 00:20:17 you got a bunch of champagne, but you're like, how do I drink this shit faster, dude? Right. I really need to get this in my system. That's what the Shark Tank pitch I think sounded like. Yeah, hell yeah, dude. everyone hey mark cuban what's up so you know how you can't drink champagne fast enough right right all right matt what's uh what are we talking here what kind of what kind of money you looking for for equity in this company okay so first of all like first of all thank you so much for having me on shark tank i think that's really chill uh mark i know you and my dad are like personal friends and uh
Starting point is 00:20:44 so i think it's really cool that... And Jeffrey Epstein. And Jeffrey Epstein. I think last time we were all on the island together, I think we talked about this, but let me get in more detail. It's called the Shambong.
Starting point is 00:20:54 I'm in. Oh, you're cool. All right. Hell yeah, dude. Hell yeah, dude. See you at the island. This whole fucking thing, when I look at the website though,
Starting point is 00:21:01 it's even more of a parody of itself because already the idea that you need to be drinking champagne like this, it's just a gag gift for sure. But also, it seems like they're also trying to make a fucking whole movement out of this. When you go on the about section, this first is a very cheeky dictionary entry. Shambong. Noun. A device used for the rapid and enhanced experience of sparkling wine slash champagne consumption.
Starting point is 00:21:27 It'll make you friends. Land you that big promotion. Fill the void. Mic drop. Walk off home run. Pick up mic. Crush karaoke. Make your parents proud.
Starting point is 00:21:37 What the fuck? I like how real they got with fill the void. Yeah, that was odd. Just for one moment, they were just like, just jam out. Karaoke. Fill the void. have sex right dad will love me it's just like damn dude it's uh so then after that i'm like okay what the well how it does look like something you smoke meth out of or it's very dark it looks like a pookie yeah yeah yeah that's what you're it does not look some, if a cop pulled you over and saw that in your driver's seat, they would probably not think, oh, this person loves Moet.
Starting point is 00:22:09 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. They're like, this person is Rocky Roadin' it up. Now, when you look at the fucking, the evolution of this device, this is where it becomes fucking unbearable. So it's like how it started, our history. The origins of the first Shambong came about in early 2014 during a moment preempting the Super Bowl. We had an epiphany a week
Starting point is 00:22:31 prior to the big event to create a Super Bowl. The resulting device of our imagination harnessed an ability to hold an extraordinary amount of cannabis. However, it was sadly non-functional as a smoking apparatus. Fortune would prevail several evening later. Nice typo there.
Starting point is 00:22:48 Idiot. While onlookers examining the piece. You're trying to sound so smart. I know. While onlookers examining the piece remarked at how it looked like a fantastic wine shooter. They promptly filled it with champagne and experienced the resulting magic and thus was born the glory that is the shambong so basically we have this failed device right and we were like fuck what else can we put in here that works and then we put in some liquid right and that shit worked also like i like the
Starting point is 00:23:14 idea that i'm still sad how do i make myself not sad fuck i'm so sad the resulting device of our imagination harnessed it's just a great string of words. That's like that super long sentence when you're just trying to express one idea. Like I used to do in my freshman college papers. Yes, exactly. Inherently, the sum of all of these assertions would lead. It's like, my man. Colonizer is bad.
Starting point is 00:23:43 Yeah. And you get an A. So this is the thing. Then the testimonials too that they also have on the website just sound like really cool people.
Starting point is 00:23:50 Oh, hell yeah. This is from Maria. If this baby is not part of your travel necessities, you are not living right. I love the plastic shambong because it packs easy and I don't have to worry
Starting point is 00:24:01 about it breaking. Plus having TSA do a double check when scanning my bag is always fun to watch. Hashtag classy AF. Hashtag don't judge my life. No, like hashtag alcoholism for sure.

Starting point is 00:30:28 a clip from Fox and Friends from over the weekend as they read live on the air the president's extremely racist tweets and were justifiably outraged. Let's let's hear it. Yeah. And I just it was refreshing to hear how disgusted they were by the whole thing. Without a doubt. You know, we're not the only ones to notice President Trump noticing tweeting this morning this so interesting to see progressive Democrat congresswomen who originally came from countries Without a doubt, you know, we're not the only ones to notice. President Trump noticing tweeting this morning this. So interesting to see progressive Democrat congresswomen who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world. If they even have a functioning government at all now loudly and viciously telling the people of the United States, the greatest and most powerful nation on earth, how our government is to be run. Why don't they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came, then come back and show us how it is done. These places need your help badly. You can't leave fast enough. I'm sure that Nancy Pelosi would be very happy to quickly work out free travel arrangements. This tweet that you're just seeing now is clearly going
Starting point is 00:31:25 to get, I think, a lot of discussion. Someone's feeling very comedic today. Comedian in chief. Oh, xenophobia. Dude, I love it. Dude, these are fucking great jokes. Did you hear when he told them to go back to their own country?
Starting point is 00:31:43 Then he was like, come back, though. That was a joke. The joke then he was like, come back, though. Right. But he didn't mean it. That was a joke. The joke was that they shouldn't come back. Right, because they're never going to solve the problems because their countries are broken. Bring back your foreign wisdom. Yes.
Starting point is 00:31:56 Yeah, this is, I mean, look, this is, if you've been paying attention to this president at all, you know he's racist. You know he's been a racist for since time immemorial right but the fucking for whatever reason this weekend like the media and other people were like so many takes that were like it's official right racist right or like after after racially charged you know twitter twitter storm yeah the president uh it might be the bigot in chief. Might be. Yeah. Okay. I really want to hear from the guy who's like, nah, I need four more
Starting point is 00:32:32 incidents of overt racism. It was an accident. In 2015, I said at first, I said, I will need 23 overt incidents. We're at 19. We're at 19. I need a few more, dude. I need a few more.
Starting point is 00:32:47 And he's going to really be testing me. Yeah, he's really, you're getting close, Mr. President, who I respect. These goofy antics. And then, yeah, you had people. So then what happened then is the GOP and the media,
Starting point is 00:32:57 everyone's doing fucking backflips to try and avoid describing this as anything but racist. I mean, do we need to even say who he was talking about? He was talking about... Ayanna Pressley, Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Right.
Starting point is 00:33:12 Who mostly were born in the United States. But because they are women of color, he's like, go back to where you came from. Go back to your country. Which is the trope, the racist language that everyone goes, yeah, imagine, just take away the details of it being the president. If some person, some asshole was screaming that at a person of color in public, you'd be like, yo, fucking handle this racist motherfucker. And it's literally cartoon racism. It's like what you in a shitty political cartoon would like show as the racist saying. It's the most hack racist phrase
Starting point is 00:33:46 there is go back to where he came from right like racism has gotten much more like you know coded for a long time and now we're back to that yeah go back to the place i took i stole you from yeah okay but then you have people like lind Lindsey Graham, who was out here being like these, they're communists there. They hate America. He was fucking, he fully showed his ass on Fox. Dude,
Starting point is 00:34:11 it was hilarious. He's like, they hate Israel. They hate America. They're anti-Semitic. They don't like Israel. Who's he talking about? America.
Starting point is 00:34:20 They hate him. They hate freedom. They hate freedom. They hate the Jews. They don't like patriots. After a while they don't like the Patriots can you stop saying hate Jews over and over again because they hate the Jews sounds weird coming out of your southern mouth
Starting point is 00:34:34 I'm pretty sure Lindsey Graham hates the Jews they hate the Jew they're tired of international Jewry what the fuck they don't like the Jewish media they don't like the control of fuck? They don't like the Jewish media. They don't like the control of the government. They don't like the Jewish lizard people.
Starting point is 00:34:49 They do not like our overlords. It's like, Jesus Christ. They didn't even read all of the protocols of the elders of Zion. Exactly. They basically thumbed through it. It's so weird because it's just there's no way in the world that Lindsey Graham isn't one of those people who believes that once all the Jews
Starting point is 00:35:10 move to Israel that Jesus will come back and then annihilate two-thirds of the Jews. Every time a Southern Christian person says I support Israel, I'm like, oh, you want us all dead. Oh, you want Jesus too. You want Jesus to come back and be like, laser eyes.
Starting point is 00:35:27 Yeah. Like Jack O'Brien, laser eyes. Laser eyes. Laser eyes O'Brien. That's my new AK. Are you Jesus? Might be. Lindsay, just come on over.
Starting point is 00:35:35 Come see Jesus with your own eyes. So there were a number of almost impressive attempts to avoid calling these comments racist by the GOP. Just the cynicism and the way that they just stuck to the script was kind of wild. We had, I guess, Mike Pence as chief of staff who went on a couple different programs and gave the exact same explanation twice. Which is very compelling, actually. Of all the people who did try and explain away the president's racism, I found this one to be probably the most even-handed and rational. You'll hear. Why would the president intervene when the Democrats are essentially destroying one another?
Starting point is 00:36:24 the president intervene when the Democrats are essentially destroying one another? He belly flops right into the middle of that and essentially unites the Democrats once again against him. Well, if the Democrats choose to want to unite around Ilhan Omar, it'll be interesting to see how that plays out for them. But, you know, Dagan, since I returned back to the White House, one of the greatest experiences I had was the chance to join the Vice President on Independence Day, when the Vice President sworn 50 new naturalized citizens. It was a remarkable day. And that day, he was joined by a cabinet member in this administration who came to the United States as a child, unable to speak English, learned English, and eventually became a naturalized
Starting point is 00:37:02 citizen. She is an Asian American, Elaine Chao, serving in the cabinet of the Trump administration. So when people write that the president has racist motives here, it's just look at look at the reality of who's actually serving in Donald Trump's cabinet. He's making a point about a great frustration. A lot of people feel that. I think it's hard to find anything Ilhan Omar has actually said since elected to Congress has been positive about the United States of America.
Starting point is 00:37:26 Racist is what he said. If they use racist language, sure. Again, I like people of color as props. Just gesture to the person of color to say, oh, really? Then why does Elaine Chao exist? That's impossible. Mitch McConnell's wife. Is that really?
Starting point is 00:37:48 Yeah, that's Mitch McConnell's fucking wife. Oh, wow. Who is also the fucking destroyer. Serving as a transportation secretary, we discussed this, how she is invested in a company that's one of the largest gravel suppliers. So by being the transportation secretary,
Starting point is 00:38:05 you'd be like, yeah, let's build this road and let's use this company I own. Wow. Or like, there's just so much shit about, you know, her motives and what she's trying to do. Because a lot of people also suspect, like just with her position being Mitch McConnell's wife, she's like doing a lot of backend stuff with Chinese companies and even trying to get her relatives in China hooked up with the government there just because she's Mitch's wife. She's like doing a lot of back-end stuff with Chinese companies and trying to get her relatives in China hooked up with the
Starting point is 00:38:26 government there just because she's Mitch's wife. It's a fucking... Wow. I don't know. But again, you had people like him doing the same shit. So that was Mark Short on a Fox business show. Then like two hours later, he had to go see the press outside the White House. And guess
Starting point is 00:38:42 when they ask him again, what do you make of the president's racist intent? he have racist intent here's his answer since returning to white house one of the um greatest pleasures and honors i had was actually joined the vice president independence day when he swore in 50 new naturalized citizens and i i wish there'd been more of you guys present for that ceremony at the National Archives. And he was joined that day by a cabinet member in this administration who came to the United States as a young child unable to speak English, learned English, and became a naturalized citizen. She still serves in our cabinet, Elaine Chao.
Starting point is 00:39:15 I don't think that the president's intent in any way is racist. I think he's trying to point out the fact that since elected, it's hard to find anything Ilhan Omar has said that actually is supportive of the United States of America. I mean, I really you got to you got to say that it is something to move all the way to the United States of America. Move here. Learn the language. And then fuck Mitch McConnell. Like, holy shit. You've put in you've paid that is capitalism peak holy shit um imagine having to fuck a turtle dude so that oh god the bars that they're asking us to be impressed by
Starting point is 00:39:56 are that the vice president did his job and instead of refusing to swear in these people of color like citizens he he actually let them become citizens even though a lot of them were not white uh probably and then rather than like you know flying off in a rage at the idea of you know brown people becoming american citizens And then there was an Asian-American woman there who they let be there. So how is he racist again? So they're basically saying the racist thing to do would have been he fires her or won't allow her to be a part of his administration. It would be whites only is what he would say. And forgive me if I'm mistaken. I think she's only one of two people of color left in this administration at this point.
Starting point is 00:40:48 So tell me again, Mr. Woke Ally, what the fuck is going on? I mean, it's really just like, it's the same. It's literally just, I have a black friend. How can I be racist? Right, every time. It's the same thing. Oh, I hate women? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:02 My mother is a woman. My mom is a woman. Right. My mother's a bitch. Okay Oh, I hate women? Yeah. My mother is a woman. My mom is a woman. Right. My mother's a bitch. Okay. And I hate women? Oh, I hate women. Okay.
Starting point is 00:41:10 And yet I'm married to a cunt. Yeah. Oh, you guys. Fuck. Oh, my God. But it really shows you, again, the fact that this keeps happening, because even during the State of the Union, there was another moment where they're like, and I will gesture to this person of color, therefore not racist, again and again. How this keeps fucking coming up.
Starting point is 00:41:33 And you're like, here's just a quick tip for all conservatives out there. Having a person of color in your friend group or someone you don't call a racial slur to their face doesn't make you not racist. That just means you know somebody who isn't white. Yeah. Right. That's it. So let go. Like, no one is following this logic where they're like, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:52 Except for maybe the other racists who are in denial, which brings me to Mia Love, who is a former representative from Utah who's Haitian American. And when Trump referenced Haiti in that shithole country's comment he had, she was really like, well, you know, don't like to see it, hate to see it. And then just like nothing really past that. And then when asked again, what about this
Starting point is 00:42:15 bullshit? She nearly broke her fucking spine trying to like outmaneuver saying this shit was racist. She was like, do I see how it can be seen as racist? Sure. That was as far as they got. It took a long time to even get there.
Starting point is 00:42:29 Yeah, it took like five minutes of people being like, no, it's racist, right? But you can say it's racist, clearly. Well, I don't like that word. I can't go inside the president's brain and see what he intended. I don't know what's deep in his heart. How can anyone know what's deep in his heart?
Starting point is 00:42:42 And they're saying, no, but the statement itself. The statements have hearts too and you can't know i can't assume to know the heart of a tweet yeah and then she said she started off by saying let me first just say that you know this is kind of an icky subject right that was her lead-in well because they asked how come republicans aren't willing to call these comments racist. And she's saying, well, because they're racist. Yeah, because they racism is an icky subject and they don't like to get, you know, their minds dirty. And they don't want to think about it. And I just like to move on from it by thinking of the day to day experience, which is just as ignoring racism is the same shit, too. When you're like, well, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:43:25 I don't know. I might not acknowledge the racial intensity, the racist intensity on that. And again, you see, like, just from the people who have spoken out, I think Lindsey Graham is really the only person who's come out and said anything. Everyone is fucking crickets. Yeah. Right. Because... And Lindsey Graham has said, what has he said?
Starting point is 00:43:44 He's been... He's just full of shit. They're communists. They hate Yeah. Right. Because. And Lindsey Graham has said, what has he said? He's been, he's just bullshit. They're communists. They hate America. What he said is don't attack them. Don't, don't get personal. There's no need to do that.
Starting point is 00:43:53 Just attack their policies. I think it was his very cowardly way of being like, yeah, it's not the best thing, but I also, I know the president's watching and I just on camera said he was the greatest golfer ever in front of a bunch of people. So I'm going to have to just be like, yeah, he's great.
Starting point is 00:44:07 We should literally have a checklist of different things that the Kim Jong-un's family like has done, like because claiming to be like the best golfer ever is one of the things that Koreans are expected to believe. He shot an 18. Yeah, I think it was like a 22. shot in 18 right yeah yeah i think it was like a 22 or it was just only 18 strokes right because it was i don't plan to have got to know but every hole everyone is a hole in one yeah yeah yeah and no matter how far he sliced it was like actually the hole was that way right that's a false flag move the hole we misplaced the hole again you're right it was by that tree or in that bunker but trump you know just versions of that the american equivalent of that with people who support trump um yeah well again
Starting point is 00:44:51 i think because there's such a unwillingness to confront the racism in this country especially for white conservatives because they i think they're i mean they do realize maybe more now it's like oh right this is the whole fuel we're riding on. Because this is all meant to get his base fucking fired the fuck up. They fully accepted. It's so funny. The Republican Party was fighting so hard in 2016 to be like, no, no, no. We're not going to be this. We're not going to be this.
Starting point is 00:45:16 We're not going to be this. And now they're just like, dude, power is power. Whatever. Whatever. Who cares about it? Let's just, this is what we are. Let's just be real yeah and uh you know you got to give donald trump credit for uh you know really uh making all
Starting point is 00:45:31 those fools go mask off on this yeah yeah you know a lot of people even described as like the president has a way of finding the racial tinder in america and giving it a little bit of spark a spark and it's like he literally just says racist things. Dude, he's just saying racist shit. Stop even being poetic about this. This motherfucker is- Stop playing 4D chess. He's just like, I don't like those people.
Starting point is 00:45:53 I don't like brown women. He's attacking someone with open racism that a person, like the most powerful person on the state-run TV, basically put a hit out on last week. Right. Ilhan Omar with Tucker Carlson just being like,
Starting point is 00:46:08 she's anti-American. Yeah. She's bad for this country. Yeah. Sorry, I couldn't get my voice high enough to do what he does. To do Tucker Carlson. But it's funny now.
Starting point is 00:46:18 It's hard to do. The other op-ed that's now coming out is the same. It's like, so Republicans, are you okay with this? Your president being a racist? I'm so tired of them asking.
Starting point is 00:46:27 It's like, you knew. The second he took office, you're like, all you guys. I mean, okay. You maybe could have given him maybe a couple months just to see what kind of policy was going to come up before you fully did it. By the time Charlottesville happened, if you were still riding with this president again, and this is many takes where people are like, at this point, if republican you're also a racist yeah right yeah no fucking shit yeah thank you and for all the people who are like well it's about trade with china because i know people like that
Starting point is 00:46:55 who are half people of color who are still doing all kinds of weird shit trying to make it about other things right right excuse the racism and other yeah well look internalized racism can be a motherfucker yeah um real quick i just wanted to bring up the seth rich conspiracy hell yeah because we had covered it back when it was a conspiracy theory that was being put out and uh actually covered by the likes of sean hannity and Fox News, they claimed that a Democratic intern was one of the sources for all the leaked emails and leaked information about the Clinton campaign and then was murdered on his way to like, you know. Tell the FBI.
Starting point is 00:47:42 Tell the FBI. At like two in the morning or something. Right. like you know tell the fbi tell the fbi yeah at like two in the morning right so it turns out that whole conspiracy theory which was rampant during the 2016 election is true end of show yeah end of show matt where can people find it at mattliebkilledsetherich.com uh it actually originated with the russian Intelligence Service. Damn it! And yeah, they circulated a fake bulletin. It wasn't even really that secret, but people just didn't bother to report that. And eventually it became a talking point on far...
Starting point is 00:48:16 I mean, this is how right-wing news and a lot of right-wing narratives are generated. And laundered. Right. It starts out on these like far right wing blogs rush limbaugh reads it and like offers up a version of it on talk radio yeah then like the ones that kind of get going in the you know firmament of racism uh then makes it onto fox news yeah alex jones too i mean you know yeah through through point with that well it just shows you that connection right
Starting point is 00:48:46 because it was WikiLeaks who got it but then like Julian Assange was being real cheeky around this time and being like well I don't know if Seth Rich
Starting point is 00:48:53 was working with WikiLeaks and then to know the Russians were part of it it's like this is all your little fucking game that you've been playing yeah I mean
Starting point is 00:49:01 we had there's part of me that we had to know he was a Bond villain. He looks like a Bond villain. Julian Assange. It was one of those things. Is he gray-haired or very light blonde?
Starting point is 00:49:11 I think I would call it rat-haired. He's got this albino rat kind of hair. It's like Smeagol with a glow-up. Smeagol got some weave just to fill out his hair. Yeah, I mean, yeah, he definitely hinted. If Smeagol got some weave just to fill out his hair. Yeah. I mean, yeah. He definitely hinted. He was like, I'm not going to say that he wasn't our source or was our source, but it's concerning that a source is dead.
Starting point is 00:49:34 And you're like, you just said he's a fucking source. Right. Or I didn't. Or I didn't. Aha. It was so obvious. Now, if you don't mind, I have to clean up some cat shit that I left around the Ecuadorian embassy. Wait, no.
Starting point is 00:49:48 He never did that. Oh, yeah. He never cleaned up his cat shit. He just skateboarded over it. So rad, dude. Skateboard poo. Rotting from the inside out. Yeah, I mean, this is just, I guess, I feel like the second act of our show should just be called Cognitive Dissonance Hour.
Starting point is 00:50:04 Like, what people on the right are managing to ignore this time. Sure. They do it on the left too. Right. Oh, yeah. Nancy Pelosi is a great leader. Oh, really? She clapped at him.
Starting point is 00:50:16 Good. Yeah, yeah. Oh, my God. That meme. Fuck. How many fucking years of good graces did that buy her? My God. I just.
Starting point is 00:50:24 But you know what? Shout out to a meme queen who knows the meme economy dude this entire like there's no one worse at memes than than centrist dems and it's like watching oh god watching them meme makes me want to cry it's so sad it's like you're freaking if your dad was like i got got really into Cardi B, okurr.

Starting point is 00:53:31 From college to the pros, Clark and Reese have changed the way we consume women's sports. Angel Reese is a joy to watch. She is unapologetically black. I love her. What exactly ignited this fire? Why has it been so good for the game?
Starting point is 00:53:47 And can the fanfare surrounding these two supernovas be sustained? This game is only going to get better because the talent is getting better. This new season will cover all things sports and culture. Listen to Naked Sports on the Black Effect Podcast Network, iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. The Black Effect Podcast Network is sponsored by Diet Coke. I'm Keri Champion, and this is season four of Naked Sports, where we live at the intersection of sports and culture. Up first, I explore the making of a rivalry, Caitlin Clark versus Angel
Starting point is 00:54:21 Reese. I know I'll go down in history. People are talking about women's basketball just because of one single game. Every great player needs a foil. I ain't really hear them voice. I just come here to play basketball every single day, and that's what I focus on. From college to the pros, Clark and Reese have changed the way we consume women's sports. Angel Reese is a joy to watch. She is braggadocious. She is unapologetically black.
Starting point is 00:54:44 I love her. What exactly ignited this fire? Why has it been so good for the game? And can the fanfare surrounding these two supernovas be sustained? This game is only going to get better because the talent is getting better. Listen to The Making of a Rivalry, Caitlin Clark vs. Angel Reese on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back.
Starting point is 00:55:14 And Scarlett Johansson came out in favor of art, I think is how we could describe it. I love it. No, she did the... She had an interview in, I think it was called As If Magazine? Yes. As If We Give a Fuck? Right. Yeah, sorry, low-hanging fruit.
Starting point is 00:55:32 The low-hanging fruit salesman. The line that was just fucking magnified was this one where she says, You know, as an actor, I should be allowed to play any person or any tree or any animal because that is my job and the requirements of my job. She came out like everyone was like, here she goes. Yeah. Okay. I will give her a little bit of credit. There was a little bit of context to that answer, but the fact remains that she's the sentiment is still the same. But the, that quote goes on in the original article. It goes on to quote her as saying,
Starting point is 00:56:07 I feel like it's a trend in my business and it needs to happen for various social reasons. Yet there are times it does get uncomfortable when it affects the art because I feel art should be free of restrictions. I think society would be more connected if we just allowed others to have their own feelings and not expect everyone to feel the way we do. Which is like that is the Tim Allen, Jerry Seinfeld. Yeah, actually forget it.
Starting point is 00:56:34 Fuck that. Baby boomer. It's just like this. People keep talking about what they're allowed and not allowed to do. And it's just like you're allowed to do. No one's stopping. We're just going to talk shit about it. The government isn't stepping in
Starting point is 00:56:50 and saying that Scarlett Johansson is not allowed to play a trans character. No one is actually physically stopping her from the state. It's literally people on Twitter and she's just like, you know, it's just very uncomfortable. Yeah. It's like it's very comfortable.
Starting point is 00:57:07 People actually are making me sort of see my privilege. Yeah, right. But I look at it as art. Yeah, I guess the only thing I was just going to say was the tree line because we were like, what the fuck was that? It's because in this photo shoot, the photographer that they were doing this dual interview was like, now embody a tree or something. So really, that doesn't really diminish any of the bullshit she said because then she goes on to just sort of like, because it's art, you know?
Starting point is 00:57:29 Like in this whole idea of like, well, look, if it's really art and you're doing some kind of abstract piece where Scarlett Johansson wants to embody some other person who is not you, a cisgendered heterosexual female white woman, then maybe, sure, for some abstract piece. But if it's about being in a feature film,
Starting point is 00:57:50 which is very different, like that's part of the media that people, like, I mean, yes, there's an art form to it. But a lot of it, when you talk about the sort of weight of the representation that comes along with these films, that's not it. And I think she needs to begin to see that rather than being like, man, political correctness.
Starting point is 00:58:07 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's just lazy, and there's no investigation of herself in that. Yeah. And also, like, art sucks. Right. Art's garbage, dude. Yeah. I don't like any of it.
Starting point is 00:58:20 What's the sickest artist to you, dude? Dude, like, whoever does the fucking Magic Eye posters. Oh, fuck yeah oh fuck yeah that shit is pretty good art because like you cross your eyes and it looks like a 3d object other than that yo i was never able to fucking see that shit really i used to lie as a kid oh you got to be good at art to see this is you come and clean yeah this is miles gray come and clean yeah yeah it's a dolphin that's the key is they're always dolphins i'm always asking i'm like what how's it because there used to be a magic eye shop in the fucking mall oh yeah by my school i remember that i remember going in there and they were like you know just where kids would just look at shit and i remember being like so ashamed like i was like how the
Starting point is 00:58:58 fuck do you do i love it i love it for you it was just a Rorschach. You were like, oh, dude, yeah, I see it. It's my dad fucking my mom. Right. We were like, no, it's not. It's a dinosaur. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I know. I know. But you never forget where you were the first time you saw one of those things, man.
Starting point is 00:59:14 It's a magical experience. Are you supposed to just look directly in the middle? Or are you supposed to kind of cross your eyes? That's the thing. Because people are like, you got to cross your eyes. Cut to me looking like my eyes are about to fucking cross off my face i'm like i can't see this shit and they're like that's not what you're supposed to do you just what the fuck you're supposed to do you're supposed to unfocus your eyes and then refocus it got to a point man by the early 90s
Starting point is 00:59:38 where i could just walk up to one of those things boom see yeah fuck you magic like a fucking superpower it's the only thing you ever looked in the eye exactly i will only look fuck you magic eye privilege it's like a fucking superpower it's the only thing you ever looked in the eye exactly i will only look at the magic eye that's right the only eye i will look at with my own eyes the only eye contact you make is magic eye contact that's right i'm trying to look at one right now this shit is not how much do you cross your eye all right this is great radio no i love it i it. I'm telling you, I need tips. Zyte Gang, if you know how to fucking... There's probably a YouTube video that's just like, okay,
Starting point is 01:00:09 DJ Daniels gesturing, go very close to it, then lean back and do the rock away. Okay. People say that, but I always just unfocus my eye and I can see it. Yeah. Okay. You just kind of have to look through it. Yeah. I think I have to look through my third eye. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Kind of, in a way. Yeah. Anyways, that's the the only good art got to the point where i could see it while
Starting point is 01:00:29 closing my eyes oh you could touch it you could smell the smell yeah that's right oh that that is that is wild that that that was a thing where they were like we're gonna have a whole store of these things man everything's gonna be magic to be magic, guys, in the future. Dude, the mall was a place where a store like that could exist. Now, not anymore. Fucking Amazon, dude. Ew, yeah. What a loss.
Starting point is 01:00:52 Well, Capital was just flying the fuck around so freely. They were like, yeah, man, you want to fucking make a poster store with just this weird shit that'll last five years? Shout out to Imaginarium, though. I wish that place was still open. Shout out to Spencer's G for like sticking it out. I feel like every time I go to a mall, everything's closed,
Starting point is 01:01:08 but Spencer's gifts is like, Hey man, do you want a black light mushroom? I'm like, always dude. It's like the roaches of the mall. Like they will never die. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:19 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. They stay forever. Yeah. Glowing. That's my, my decor is all black light mushrooms. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Thatowing. That's my decor is all Blacklight mushrooms.
Starting point is 01:01:27 Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's our theme. It's like a sublime song. Yeah. And then like a fucking cartoon cat. You gotta have the Ford Rasta hat on. With the Rastas to Freedom poster in Blacklight, felt Blacklight. Somebody retweeted, just like if you Google Scarlett Johansson quotes, a page of quotes from her come up.
Starting point is 01:01:47 And I can't find who tweeted this, but I just did it myself. So let me just read a couple of them. One of the best things for a woman to hear is that she is sexy. I definitely believe in plastic surgery. I don't want to be an old hag. There's no fun in that I just adored working with Woody He has more
Starting point is 01:02:10 He was more than I could have ever dreamed I'd do it a million times over I don't go to McDonald's anymore After I saw Super Size Me No way Dude I love that After Super Size Me no way I'm out. I hope
Starting point is 01:02:25 they make a video game of me. At least I wouldn't have any cellulite then. Oh, love your body. Yeah. Scarlet. Come on now. Come on now, Scarlet. Scarlet. Just play with these really cool white
Starting point is 01:02:41 women you've been playing. No shame in that. Let's talk about the most recent fake controversy about how wokeness is taking over our culture and killing. Finally, someone's saying it. Yes. So people on the right and just everywhere are up in arms about this report that the new James Bond is a black woman. Yeah. Please drop a bomb. So Lashana Lynch, who played Captain Marvel's
Starting point is 01:03:11 fighter pilot friend in Captain Marvel, is taking over as 007. So that caused people to picture just the movie poster with her in the Bond role. In a tuxedo?
Starting point is 01:03:27 Yeah, in a tuxedo, like some sort of man. Only men are supposed to wear tuxedos. Women are supposed to wear purses. Unless you're Janelle Monae. One exception. So she was originally, it was originally reported that she was one of the Bond girls, and now they're saying she's going to be 007. But the context of this is that Daniel Craig is retired.
Starting point is 01:03:48 007 is a code name. And she's the new 007 who's filling his role while he's retired. And then she has to get him to come back. So she is, again, a supporting character who has to bring the real 007 back. And, yeah, I don't know. So our writer, J.M. McNabb, pointed out the kind of parallels between this and when it was, I don't know if I can spoil,
Starting point is 01:04:20 spoiler alert, I guess, on Avengers Endgame. Oh, yeah. Oh, dude. A lot of people still haven't seen it. I haven't seen Avengers Endgame. Oh, yeah. Oh, dude. A lot of people still haven't seen it. I haven't seen it. Yeah. Oh, fuck. All right, spoiler alert.
Starting point is 01:04:30 Just do it. Spoil it. I'm going to buckle up. There was all sorts of rumors after that that Spider-Man was going to replace Tony Stark as Iron Man because Tony Stark went to live on a nice farm with a nice old couple. No. Yeah, at the end. That's how it ends. Oh, damn.
Starting point is 01:04:51 What old couple? Yeah, they're friends of your grandparents. Oh, cool. You missed an ice for him. They have actually a lot of Tony Starks. Yeah. A lot of Tony Starks. Playboy billionaires.
Starting point is 01:05:04 All of my dogs are there. Yeah, yeah. They're all going to play together. It's a great place. Anyways, he was pointing out that, meanwhile, there is Don Cheadle's Colonel Rhodes, who is already a person in the Iron Man suit who nobody even considers would replace Iron Man. They're just like, yeah, so which white guy is it going to be would replace Iron Man. They're just like, yeah.
Starting point is 01:05:25 So who's, which white guy is it going to be that replaces Iron Man? And yeah, similarly, I'm sure this will be a thing where, you know, she is just there to activate his. To bring Daniel Craig back. Right.
Starting point is 01:05:41 Oh, so, okay. So she just came up on the name. Her name is not fucking James Bond name her name is not fucking james her name is not james bond that's why when they say a black woman is like this daily beast tweet that was like a black woman is taking over as james bond yeah okay it doesn't make sense but i guess i guess then you sort of get an inside baseball because you have to also know that james bond's code is
Starting point is 01:06:00 007 with it right and then but imagine imagine not knowing anything about James Bond but being angry about that. That's our guy! And it's like, no, 007. Yeah! It's like, no, that's the code. Well, I've never seen the films myself, but I have seen white people and I do enjoy us.
Starting point is 01:06:20 But I do like Broccoli. Wasn't the guy who wrote it Albert R. Broccoli or something? Broccoli. I't the guy who wrote it Albert R. Broccoli or something? Broccoli. Isn't that the name of the character? I have no idea. The guy who wrote it is Ian Fleming.
Starting point is 01:06:30 Yeah. Oh, he's the producer, Albert R. Broccoli. Broccoli. He did the originals. Also, Barbara Broccoli is current producer. Barbara Broccoli.
Starting point is 01:06:41 Man, I didn't even know that this actress, Lashana Lynch, was British. Huh. Yeah. I thought she was a fucking American. See, I didn't even know that this actress, Lashana Lynch, was British. I thought she was a fucking American. See, this again. This is the problem. This is the fucking shit I'm talking about.
Starting point is 01:06:52 The British are taking our jobs. They're taking our jobs. The Aussies are taking our jobs. We don't know who's an American anymore. The Canadians are taking our jobs. Honestly, we need to have an actor ban that happens for all the countries where all the good actors come from seriously go back to your country sort it out then tell us how to act yeah exactly sort out your own shitty programming if it's so good in your country if you're such a
Starting point is 01:07:17 good actor how come every show on in canada sucks yeah you know if you think about that uh yeah that's pretty good uh but trailer park jam was pointing out that uh this seems to be a theme in the bond franchise where they make like some sort of vague gesture towards wokeness and with like a storyline that they released prior to the movie coming out like last time it was monica belucci was like james bond's age appropriate bond girl right because she was 50 and daniel craig is 46 still referred to as a bond girl right bond girl of course um but she gets killed like immediately and then he has a 20 something or a 30 year old, you know, girl that he's having sex with the whole movie or whatever. Um, but yeah,
Starting point is 01:08:08 he was pointing out that like, he thinks they have to do that because bond is inherently such a problematic character. Right. So they like, you can't actually make him less problematic. You can't make the movie franchise less problematic because that is something like in the novel of Goldfinger, James Bond literally rapes pussy galore because she's a lesbian.
Starting point is 01:08:31 What? That happened in the novel. That's how he punishes her. Yeah. Yeah. So, yeah, it turns out like James Bond pretty problematic. Yeah. And so James Bond pretty problematic. Yeah. So if James Bond is canceled, I'm pretty sure.
Starting point is 01:08:45 So they put these stories out there that are misleading to make it seem like James Bond is going woke. I mean, absolutely. This is what Hollywood has been doing with their Twitter money. Anytime they want to market on Twitter, they will try to pump up something woke that they did,
Starting point is 01:09:03 which is hell of annoying because then you watch the movie and it's the same fucking garbage that Hollywood's been spewing forever. Yeah. So it's not that it's not – it is absolutely like a marketing ploy, but it is one of those things where you're just like, everyone who complains about it is the fucking worst. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 01:09:24 Well, Matt, it has been a pleasure having you. Oh, man, it's been so much fun. We got to talk about James Bond. I know. We got to talk about Magic Eye. James Bond, Shambong. Shambong, James Bond. All the best.
