Where they're like, no, no, it's just a Shasta's Dr. Pepper. Oh, yeah. No, no, it's two people can have degrees. Oh, that's Thunder.

You think there's only one doctor? Dr. Thunder does not match the taste of the beverage. Isn't the Great Value Mountain Duke like Mountain lightning or something their mountain and that one is also has mountain like they're like yeah bro we gotta keep the first

word if it's a two-word name you gotta get the first name yeah we can't change two words on these people they'll freak out hill lightning yeah that's actually like putting lightning in there is actually an improvement but dr thunder moves us way off base from what, uh, I think Dr. Thunder is the surgeons general of Florida. He was appointed by Hulk Hogan. Living in Thunder Bay.

Is that a real place? Florida? Thunder Mount, Thunder Bay. Oh shit. Miles, you've, uh,

it sounds like you've been indoctrinated into the the world of paw patrol no no no no that's oh is oh is that from paw patrol too i think that takes place it is a place in canada is what i'm realizing the paw patrol of countries yeah just because their cops are generally favorably looked upon. Right. And cute dogs. They're all cute dogs. I thought it was Thunder Bay. Maybe I got it wrong. Don't worry.

I didn't mean to derail us into this. No, this is what we're talking about now, unfortunately. Kyle, you're going to Edinburgh. I'm going. I'm going to pronounce it Edenberg to all of their faces. Edinburgh, yeah. I think we would know. I'm from the country. That's what I'm going to call it Edenberg to all of their faces. Edienberg, yeah. I think we would know. I'm from the country.

That's what I'm going to call America while I'm there. Yeah. They'll love that. From the country. The United States of America, like an Ohio State football player. Have an iron brew. You know, got to have an iron brew as well. Oh, I'm excited to go. I've never been over there.

Someone, I was doing an interview and someone asked me what the most Scottish thing I'd ever done was. I don't know what you all would answer that. I said, I've never seen Braveheart, but I pretend to have. Right. I got choked up in the early scene in Braveheart where the little boy gives the little girl a flower. That choked me up.

So that's probably the most Scottish thing that I've ever seen. I definitely haven't seen it. I feel like they don't like it, but also want its association. Yeah. Can't have it both ways, Scotland. Yeah. Man, Braveheart.

I haven't seen Braveheart in a while. That is one of those movies that when I was a kid and saw it, I thought it was the greatest film that i'd ever seen and then there was a point in my 20s where i saw it again and i like couldn't couldn't believe how bad it was so that maybe you can't revisit stuff otherwise it won't be what it was so you know i mean i'm not that you know star wars exists exactly for this reason. One Halloween, I did a mashup costume where I was Pharrell Williams Wallace. Did you really? Yeah, this is when he wore that big Vivian Westwood big-ass hat that he would wear,

that big brimmed hat Pharrell was wearing like 10 years ago. So I wore that with blue and a kilt. Oh, I love that. You just wanted to show off those legs, man. Yeah, I mean, look, bro. You're just trying to show off the gams. You know, that's anything I gotta do, baby. What do I have to do to get you in a skirt,

you say to your reflection in the mirror? As I bite my finger? Those are the best Halloween costumes when you just, you have to explain what it is. I was Hebe Jeebe Phoebe Bridgers last year. Because she always wears that skeleton suit, you know? And so I was just a zombie version of Phoebe Bridgers. Oh, shit.

Yeah. I think those are the ones that only get comedians or people who are really excited. Like, dude, it's the best pun. I don't know if it's good, but in my i love that this is what i am you just feel bad because you can hear you can tell people are hearing you tell everyone else that so there's people at the party hearing me say heebie-jeebie 70 times yeah right each person one at a time oh yeah hey it's heebie-jeebie phoebe right yeah yeah phoebe bridge yeah i mean i'll take that too right all right kyle we're gonna get to know you a little bit better in a moment first we're gonna tell the listeners a couple of the things we're talking about biden got tdz'd he got

zeitgeisted bro we talked about how uh it was time for him to be so inaccurate by the time anyways it's it seems like the pressure is mounting for him to get treatment for his COVID-19 diagnosis. Yeah, it seems like there's a lot of people lining up to be like, hey, man. Hey, man, get the fuck out of here. I'm still not optimistic because the latest that anyone said as of this recording is like, we're just going to let him make the decision for himself. He's going to be isolating and thinking and i can tell you when he i when he thinks by himself he generally has the same thought which is that he's the greatest president that ever existed and like nobody else

can win so i'm not super optimistic but it does We called for a revisiting of this issue, and it seems to be getting revisited with a vengeance. They heard us. We're going to talk about Jan Stantz Vance doing his working class ally thing. Yeah, LARPing. LARPing, doing a little LARPing. And it feels like I'm seeing a lot of people take him seriously as like an economic populist so I just want to talk about that are they white

yeah miles you're not going to believe this they are he wouldn't lie yeah I'm going to give him a shot I'm going to give this guy a shot but it's I think it's so abnormal for a republican to even like right it's shocking gesture in the direction of the

working class that like over the past 20 years that they're just like oh they're like melting yeah but using that verbiage too of like saying like the work workers union and non-union alike like that's oh wow okay populoso union and non-union alike mainly non-union alike uh we prefer non-union because i get a lot of my money from ceos yeah but if he floats the other words he gets to like justify the racist union people's votes for trump right right exactly yeah he's just like well i hate i i have my heart he said it full of hate but but this guy at least made it okay he opened the door for me to not have to be quiet yeah yeah so hopefully that's not successful we'll talk about that uh we're all we'll also talk about matt matt gates is that how we're pronouncing that? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Matt.

Matt. Mart. Got him. Muttet. Just launched his new face at the RNC. And it is a, it is a statement. Yeah. Big.

He went, he went big. It was, it was like from day to, like, I saw him in a clip heckling Kevin McCarthy. Right. And he looked like Matt Gaetz. And then he took the stage and he looked... Like, remember when the Joker in the Tim Burton Batman, like, would steal people's soul and then they would, like, come out with, like, face paint? You know, like, underneath they were like white and then they would put like makeup of normal they're like normal skin color over top of it like that so you're saying if someone hit him with the wet rag the clown would would show up underneath yes he would have

the joker shit going on underneath if you wet ragged his face is what i'm saying i always i always bring up this movie reference, but he does kind of look like sort of when Dorian, the bad guy from The Mask, puts the mask on. He's kind of like part way there. I don't know why. It accentuates his eyebrows very, very. He looks

like he's seeing his face for the first time. All the time. All right, Monicaica let me see how you did turn the chair around oh again another joker reference a lot of comparisons to like the evolution of a face of a real housewife like oh yeah this is season one to season five i saw that tweet yeah but before we get to any of that shit uh kyle we do like to ask our guest what is something from your search history that is revealing about who you are so we briefly talked about scotland and i'm going to scotland i'm so i've been doing some talks with people there and

i'm so overwhelmed by it i click on my google to show the drop down the last thing i had typed in was what time is it in scotland in august that's a great question and i'm so tired all the time i think i wanted to know what the weather was like in scotland and i'm always googling what time is it there now so i can send like whatsapp messages to whatever but yeah what time is it gonna be in august i was like what time is it gonna be in scotland in august and then even like reading the sentence i'm like that's all the parts of a sentence yeah you know it tracks for me i think and it's six they just came back with six they just got back like it'll be six there in august probably that i'm just so tired feels like a conversation like one half of a conversation that you would see an AI having with itself. Right.

Like one of the weird apps that's not even the official chat GPT, but it'll be like, talk to bot. Right, right, right. I feel like you could ask Google's AI assistant that, and they would come back with a very confident answer. Oh, that's way too long. Yeah, yeah. In August, that's way too long. Yeah. Yeah. In August, it will be 6 a.m. And I thought you were also doing because for jet lag preparation, that helps, too.

Like a few days before. I just I don't even know how any of that's going to work. I've only been to Europe one time. It's easier to go ahead. It's like it's much easier to adapt to going there than I think coming back, I think. Yeah. Or at least in my experience, it's easier to go ahead. It's like, it's much easier to adapt to going there than coming back, I think. Yeah. Or at least in my experience, it's easier to transition to that time. I'm going directly to Missouri from Scotland for my family reunion. I was like, what if, can I get a flight from Edinburgh to Kansas City?

And the flight site was basically just like, why? No one has asked for this before. No one has ever needed to go it's like you know you're gonna have to go to detroit twice like it was such an odd ask the website you like was just buffering and then i could hear my computer go so you're gonna connect through detroit then go to buffalo and then back to detroit for reason. The only people who've ever asked for this are like people who work for 23andMe. These are the only people who will have made this route. Yeah.

What is something you think is underrated? Underrated, vastly underrated, should be talked about the most often are big, giant, stupid tiki drinks. I love these giant tiki drinks. I love tiki culture. I'm all in. Give me tiki bars i love these giant tiki drinks i love tiki culture i'm all in give me tiki bars give me hilarious tiki bars and tiki culture feel like if couples and struggling marriages worked on it instead of getting into swinging right that's like that's like the the furthest it goes like yeah if you get into swinging you just go to cruises if you work on it you just hang at tiki bars and you really like goofy drinks with funny names it's like yeah the the most problematic we

get is the white gaze on polynesian culture and that's sort of our that's that's how we get our rocks and that's the name of one of the pina colada drinks uh yeah but it's g-a-y-z-e and i love the tiki i'm all in i just decided this is what I like now and I don't I want to go to Tiki bars I think they're funny I think they're weird they have old one of the coolest bars in the world is a Tiki tea in Los Angeles yeah I really love these things I just I want to go everyone's

friendly and it's funny and it's dark inside and the drinks are hilarious you were saying before we started recording it was mainly like you started noticing your affection increase around Charlottesville, right? You were like, wait a second. I did, I did. The torches, unfortunately, that drove prices up.

Yeah, yeah. And if you look up driving in Charlottesville, it's not good either. Right. So, I'm all in. TKT just reopened, I think, right? Because they were closed for a minute. I think, tragically, someone in their family passed away. Yeah, yeah yeah yeah what i love about tkt is they seem to own their land

and their business and their property and they're right in the middle of silver lake but they don't need to be open that much right they're just you know this is such la insider baseball but they're next to the scientology production center and they haven't sold their land to it yet and i love that they're like an acre of land next door yeah they just closed for months they're like we're closed for august and september so our employees can chill because they don't know anyone anything only 20 people can go inside i love them yeah and i'm all in on tiki drinks what's uh i'm so funny i i was at city walk and i went to bubba gump shrimp and they got like a tiki, like a tiki drink.

And they're like, you know, for like an extra buck, you can take the glass home with you. And I'm like, yes. Wait, really? Yeah. I have the dumbest right now. I haven't used it, but I have a Bubba Gump Shrimp tiki glass. Is there something, I don't know what it is, Kyle. I'm here with you. There's just something so campy but comforting about this weird

parallel universe where this tiki shit. I don't know. I love it. Producer Victor, by the way, just wrote for $1, three question marks, and then we just saw a Victor shaped hole in the wall behind him.

Well, the thing is, you could also have taken it home for free yeah they're trying to get you to pay a dollar to not steal it and to feel okay about theft because i'm sure enough of them walked out the door it was like the the the uh moscow mule brass mug great theft of 2014 that was every bar went under investing in those i'm not gonna lie bro the griffin i'm sorry i was taking your fucking copper mugs fool before you were asking for ids i was i know when they started asking they would hold your id if you got a moscow for the copper mug i'm like no fool this is mine oh man i have way too many of those i'm not proud of them but i've got four tiki glasses give me

the t give me nice what are tiki glasses. Give me nice earnest. What are tiki glasses? They're just like big. They're usually like ceramic with like painted you know. Sort of like a weird face or a mask looking thing or like a parrot or something like that. Yeah. It's like Margaritaville without the Ticketmaster fees. Okay.

Precisely. What's something you think is overrated? Award shows. As a whole. Yeah. What's something you think is overrated? Award shows. As a whole. Yeah. Let's relax. I don't know. Every award show feels like it could be an email.

Just send it to the winners. Every time the Emmy nominations come out, everyone's like, why did all the shows we all liked get nominated? And you're like, I don't know, probably because someone paid paid the money i don't know what the discourse around them is always the same i no one knows what a comedy is anymore and i don't need to go on the diatribe that the internet has gone on about that right yeah did you see someone did like a joke count of like jokes per episode of like the bear and like trying her episode oh i thought we were gonna go across the entirety of the show because no like just in an episode and like juxtaposing that with like what is a quote-unquote comedy and i'm like i yeah dude tv is so different they feel weird even

like the espies i used to watch the espies so norm could say horrible things at them and now it seems like a self sort of masturbatory sports thing i'm a chiefs fan i won't even watch award shows this that's a little celebration of the chiefs every year now yeah i just i'm like i think something about the pandemic and kind of killed the idea of celebrity pedestal and i think that we're all a little bit and there's a lot of people i really really love and are very deserving of these awards and i think it's great and wonderful but something about him just feels a little bit it i'm a little tired it's like what was that what was it called the island that ewan mcgregor movie where you know like all those people were like i'm going to the island even though they were

just all being like harvested they're all clones with their organs like organs being harvested but like it used to be like i felt like our version of celebrity worship was like we all want to get to the island like that is so cool and to your point kyle covet absolutely fucked all that up because once people were like really had to sit with like what is my life materially like when i'm not working versus like someone hyper wealthy and like those celebrities did that imagine video i think the imagine video actually killed it. I think they were working during that and everybody should shut the fuck up. I don't care if you were trying to save America with their charisma.

If your Zoom background is blurry, I can still tell that's a pool. It doesn't matter if you blur it out. I know you're in front of a fountain. it doesn't matter if you blur it out i know you're in front of a like a fountain i've been pitching for a while that we just do an entire like week of episodes about the imagine video on dailies like it's just like really deep dive i learned how to pronounce good together yeah well that's good gay dot like k dot like kendrick lamar yeah Lamar. Yeah, it's an homage. Mm-hmm. But what a... I don't know why I used a Michael Bay film

to try and describe the celebrity. That's like heaven? You were basically describing heaven and you were like, it's like... That movie, The Island. The Island? We all aspired to get on Con Air. We just didn't know.

Right. I think Con Air Force One is what it is at this point. We're all just trying to get off the rock, you know. That's true, but they keep making Jumanji movies. Yeah. Oh, Jumanji. Fantastic. I was watching that on TN.

I think we need, not to go counter everything, but I think we need more award shows. I think we need an award show for... Sometimes award shows get nominated for Oscars. Right. And that is the craziest thing. I feel like that's what happens for Emmys, right? Goku dies or something like that. Yeah, Emmys. The Emmy for best award show. And when the Emmys loses that,

I'm like, okay, we get it. You're trying to be nice. They should be winning that. Come on. Come on. There's got to be some... Imagine you run the Emmys and you lose that emmy yeah like while you're at work you feel horrible what about an award show for politicians though like you know we don't know i think i don't know that that's i feel like the only the next like i could see sure somebody pitching that like well i i guess so i'm uh working on this kennedy show and they jfk jr did the like sexy politics magazine george and it is like such a misguided misbegotten idea that people like took seriously they were like

yeah no that makes sense like harrison ford and a george washington wig like that that's hot that's hot those are two of the people i know yeah i mean honestly i think i'd be more invested in like going microscopic like on award shows like who's the best regional electrician in southern i love that i you could call it like the yelp sifting yeah yeah where it's like we actually i think hyper local awareness and recognition is so nice and important and i don't hate awards you know and i just am like come on and oh yeah the second i'm nominated for anything that's real in any capacity they'll be my favorite thing but uh the second i can like wear a suit to

a nice chair you'll never hear from me again, but he's gone. But there, because then sometimes there's like wonderful recognition and the Oscars seem to, we would say like, quote unquote, get it right. But I still am like,

but then what? But what is just the uproar about that? I think maybe getting awards is fine, but not getting awards shouldn't be the end for anything. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Sure. Well, yeah, I think we're just, I, is fine but not getting awards shouldn't be the end for anything yeah yeah yeah sure well yeah i think we're just i so we were just become so obsessed with like the game around like predicting

award shows and all that kind of stuff that yeah at this point like i think yeah just our values have kind of moved on where it's like i don't care if this person who has everything in their life going right for them gets another thing. That's good. I do think we feel excited for a lot of firsts and a lot of like initial recognition. Yeah. And then eventually you're like, yeah, but I'm still like tired at home. Yeah.

Right. Right. Right. Yeah. I think once Leonardo DiCaprio got his Oscar, that was like the peak. Everyone's like, all right, dude, who gives a fuck anymore? He was one of the eight best performances in that movie. I was into the Emmys back when Frasier won every year.

Just tuning in, being like, can they do it again? Yes! Just cracking your nose. The grammar! Sometimes something will pop up and you'll be like, Steve Carell didn't win one? Yeah, right? Yeah. But that's the only thing we even think about from that decade.

It's just how right they can get it sometimes. All right. Yeah. But that's the only thing we even think about from that decade. It's just how right they can get it sometimes. All right. Let's take a quick break and then we'll come back and talk about Joe Biden. I'm Jess Casavetto, executive producer of the hit Netflix documentary series, Dancing for the Devil, the 7M TikTok cult. And I'm Clea Gray, former member of 7M Films and Shekinah Church. And we're the host of the new podcast,

Forgive Me For I Have Followed. Together, we'll be diving even deeper into the unbelievable stories behind 7M Films and LA-based Shekinah Church, an alleged cult that has impacted members for over two decades. Jessica and I will delve into the hidden truths between high control groups and interview dancers, church members, and others whose lives and careers have been impacted, just like mine. Through powerful, in-depth interviews

with former members and new, chilling, first-hand accounts, the series will illuminate untold and extremely necessary perspectives. Forgive Me For I Have Followed will be more than an exploration.

This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts, separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today. And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson.

I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore. The story of one strange and violent summer. This is Rip Current. Available now with new episodes every Thursday. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. We're back and so fairly recently a couple days ago they were talking about let's just virtual roll call the elect the nominating process to cement biden in there and all this conversation. That conversation ended with the attempt to

assassination of Trump. Move it along. And that now now it's come out that people are not moving on from this, that like all of the major Democratic leaders behind the scenes have been openly calling for him to step down and are now that he is like not showing signs of responding to those calls leaking that shit to the media with a vengeance yeah it was like a new story from a new like democratic party luminary every half hour last night or like on wednesday night and then adam schiff was like he's like oh bro it's time you know schiff schumer pelosi within like a matter of five hours it was just like yeah me too and i thought they yeah they were gonna do that virtual roll call right? But Biden couldn't remember his Zoom password. And it was just him trying to identify motorcycles in a capture code for a little while.

And they lost him there. And they were like, well, we got to do this at a different time. He can't. He doesn't know what our sidewalks. You don't believe that crap. That's him yelling at his Zoom for not letting him in. He's like really upset. He can't have an exclamation point in his password. I'm no bot. Incorrect password. you don't believe that crap man do you uh mr president why do you mash the keypad a few more times and see what happens for your password all right here we go

uh but yeah it's the pressure is is ramping up now like Axios is reporting that top Dems believe that now Biden may actually be finally considering his future. So like a week ago, he wouldn't even entertain a fucking conversation with someone who was like on the naysayer side or doubter side. But now it sounds like that resistance has waned. He's begun to talk to these people a little bit more. he's begun to talk to these people a little bit more he's even begun to ask like what kamala harris's chances would be if he were to drop out and she were at the top of the ticket which a lot of people took that as like that's he went from never even acknowledging shit like that to the fact that he's asking that a lot of aides say it means it's a matter of when not if at this point but again the details around that though was that he's been saying kamala can't win man which is so fucked up how's kamala doing yo that's your that's your vp you

gotta love saying that about someone you picked to be your friend at work yeah yes you picked to be your second in command and then it's just it is, it is comedic. It will be funny once he actually steps down to just look back at what, like, how he went from being like, I'm just doing it for one. I'm just doing it for one, guys. To, like, nobody else can win. I'm the greatest, like, politician. Just the amount of wild, unrestrained ego. Right. The amount of wild, unrestrained ego and just like unapologetic, just like, I'm not going to step down unless there's zero chance that I win. Which is shocking behavior from a boomer.

Right. Impossible. To see some sort of selfish refusal to let go. If he was strong enough, he'd pull the whole ladder up behind him. Yeah, that's right. He's like, when I became an adult, that was at the peak of human knowledge and experience. I will not hear anything from anyone else anymore. Also, I was eating a lot of lead on accident.

On accident. But yeah, a lot of people think now that with the COVID diagnosis, again, for people who don't probably have heard this one, he has COVID. Yeah. And being in isolation that maybe the decision will be made as early as this weekend to step down. The COVID thing, I'm like, part of me is like, I don't doubt it because the infection rates are like really wild in certain parts of the country. But other parts of me is like, that's a great way to be like, yo, man, here's a two week pause real quick, bro. Like, you got COVID. Yeah, giving him a two week pause, that could be half of the time left.

Yeah. Right. Seriously. The percentages of time he's committing to this goes up and up and up as every day goes by. Or I was thinking of that movie Dave. Again, I hate to bring up movies, but I go, Ivan Reitman movie where they switched out the president because he had a heart attack stroke or whatever. I was like, maybe they'll get some other spry Joe Biden lookalike in there. But anyway, that's what the Republicans probably think.

All right. I'm going to do a labor movie metaphor go here all right you know in inception where marion cotillard that has the false belief like buried in her brain that she's in a dream and right right you just like can't get it out actually out of the dream part you mean yeah yeah they're no or yeah yeah she they're out of the dream but she thinks it's a she's convinced real life is the dream yes yes yes yes and so but like it just unshakable and like every time he thinks he's like won the argument she just like shows up on like a fucking windowsill being like and now i'm going to like it's just right i think all of this idea of like we're just gonna let the president think have a think on this by himself for a couple days and he's gonna come out making the right decision i just i feel like that's not happening i think no i think we need to incept him yes i think we need this is

the most we've ever needed an inception but if you want to accept biden you just have to whisper it twice while he's awake just when he's not looking at you yeah you're gonna be so much happier stepping down it's great you'll be a hero but trump got incepted for four years watching fox yeah in his office in the oval office he just watched tv and he's like i think i thought that yeah did you think that or is that why you're wanting a bunch of new pillows in the white house that is what i was saying the other day my name is kaka carlson i mean these people are so easy to incept at this point but i think yeah like, like with the Biden thing, right, like before it was sort of they were like, you know, the best way is that Biden comes to this conclusion on his own and it didn't get there. So I think that's why now they're like, all right, plan B, just Chuck Schumer. Apparently, like, privately, they spoke to him.

Like, Chuck Schumer met up with him in Delaware, like, last Saturday and was like, this is not looking good at all for us down ballot. You need to really think about doing what's best for the country. That was Saturday, though. And since Saturday, he has been like, I'm not going anywhere, man. I think it's getting more. Tell you where I'm'm going running to the president now you have more public uh dissent happening you don't believe that crap but the

other thing uh that may weigh on him too is like some of the polling because 65 of democrats also just were like leave this is not good man this is not This is just not heartening in any way. Out of the people he needs to 100% vote for him, most are worried. And I think that should be a worrisome poll. Yeah, exactly. And while there wasn't an explosive post-shooting polling bump for Trump, Biden is still looking at an uphill battle in these battleground states, especially in the Rust Belt. And he needs those to win so it's like you know i think pelosi also told him he's like look man the way it looks right now you're not going to win now not to say i have no path to victory obviously there is a path if he can shore up the polling numbers but i think they're saying as it

stands bro you are not going to go you're not we're not gonna see 1998 joe biden hop out the fucking delorean suddenly so let's just maybe put the blanket on lay back a little bit and honk shoo away you imagine how favorably history would look at him if he steps down and democrats win the election people will look at him yeah in in 50 years he'll be like a heroic president who made a choice for the entire country yeah oh god i mean i think they're gonna remember this and he'll be like a heroic president who made a choice for the entire country. Yeah. Oh, God. I mean, I think they're going to remember this. And he'll still be eligible to run. They got to win. Yeah, they're like, hey, man,

save that eligibility, dude. We'll let Bernie go eight years, and then we'll have you run in 2036. Yeah. Perfect. Also, Obama is reportedly doubting him behind the scenes in a way that is being leaked to the media. So, Obama is reportedly doubting him behind the scenes in a way that is like being leaked to the media. So, again, nobody's like coming out and making a public speech being like this motherfucker needs to step down.

But they are doing. The Clintons are doing the same thing, too. Yeah. They're like they're not outwardly talking. Yeah. But people in their orbit are doing the talk. One of these quotes is going to come out with Obamaama saying and you're going to leak this right and someone's going to say yes yeah okay so here's yeah and president obama said quote so here's what i want you to leak repeat sentence one of my favorite joe biden quotes so with it looking more and more likely that he will eventually step down. I'm still waiting for the deep dive into what happens next. Is it just Kamala by default and then the question becomes

who gets selected as her VP? Or is it because the polling is still asking who should be at the top of the ticket and Kamala is running behind like whitmer and you know so some of the other candidates but i that feels so chaotic to me like the polling looks better if it is a whitmer versus trump or newsom versus and that's the fucking polling but i think like what will happen is it depends on you know do like all like all those does Biden want the wanted to be a democratic process and something happens at the convention where they need to actually nominate someone there? Or do you just keep things where, you know, the infrastructure is in place for a Paris involved campaign? Oh, that could be that could that I think seemingly would give her the edge.

It sounds like, you know, the Congressional Black Caucus would be behind her as well as like the Obama Clinton parts of the party. Yeah. So that gives her a bit of an advantage over trying someone new and getting name recognition. But again, I think they also just fear American racism and misogyny. Can we please, no matter what happens, please let kamala debate jd vance once before she's running for president can i please watch her embarrass him on television for two hours yeah just and then and then at the end of it she'd be like oh now and then just walk in the other room and debate trump or something i just i he's in so over his head against someone like her if it becomes not even debate literally a talk yeah i would yeah but he's there he likes to he likes to lie though too man that's the thing he does the world's biggest grifter likes to lie he loves not with the back of three books at my parents

house say about him but just back to harris i don't know it it does feel like that would at least give it some order and i i've read accounts of like what an open convention would look like and it just seems like it's like that used to be how these were these operated in the past but it's not set up for that anymore like it's no it would be a fucking mess to just go into the convention. So I'm assuming that everybody just falls in line behind Kamala the second that he steps down or that he steps down and is like Kamala is effective immediately like the candidate because everything else just seems too wild and up in the air. Right. Because he could ask that, you you know his delegates commit to harris at the convention yeah um or he could or again he could be like well it's my wish man to let the people decide that could be his like one last chaotic wish jesus christ so you gotta embrace what i think is the greatest job in the world which is a president not seeking re-election

yeah it seems like there's nothing more fun than a politician on their way out potentially you could do whatever you want make it 104 113 supreme court justices you gotta change the national anthem to not like us just like you could do anything you could do anything because what no one's gonna vote for you you could actually do any of the stuff you said you would i see you know you see little like ideas of his floating around or people like he's talked about i saw something about like uh capping the amount of money that prison phone calls can cost and the amount of burden that can be but i'm like that's an incredible thing that you can just do if you're not worried about it being used against you in constant re-election everything is just once you're on your way out

i feel like that's the greatest opportunity to actually do good yeah yeah to free yeah you don't fear the death of not put the sunglasses back on get the ice cream sit outside yeah get the lasers out of your eyes go dark random but it's supreme court they're already doing the thing now where you're just i i forget who it was one of the democrats like day one if if we have a democratic administration we're codifying roe and you're like oh yeah i think i voted for that when i was 19 don't insult people with this shit anymore like what what the fuck are you talking about who's who's the president right now just to clarify if we uh joe joe joe biden joe biden oh okay oh i thought it was a democrat first wait but it's like don't worry about yeah yeah but like it's it's just some stuff came up.

Like we, when you look at the favorability ratings of presidents, like over the past 20 years, they're always extremely low compared to history. I think there's just so much attention on them and just the way that people, you know, are oriented these days. Like I, I said this like a couple of years ago, like, would it be the smartest decision for the Democrats and Republicans to just always run a new candidate?

Because like the incumbent is actually at a disadvantage at this point, because everybody fucking hates the president like that's just going to be the case like obama was very popular and didn't win by like that much you know he won by like having a really strong against mitt ground game against mitt romney who was not like an inspiring candidate you know so just it feels like a not just another argument for like why we should let this man go it is so much easier to run off of don't you want stuff to be better than it is how don't you think you know here's actually what i've done that makes these incremental changes that's being

blocked by your governor that's it's just so much harder to explain why something hasn't worked than is to go say, I'll fix it. Yeah. And now you can point to like Trump becomes the old guard candidate who's like not, you know, fighting for change. It's like, no, we've we've seen what you do for four years. Yeah. But I think that's like part of the life of a campaign too. Like with presidential elections is you can't fix, like they just can't fix too much or else you don't have the message to be like, man, there's stuff to fix because you'd imagine like those, if you, if you had a sort of a president who could deliver the kinds of like social changes that I think a lot of people are looking for, that would definitely shore up support if people's lives are doing well. But because we're in such a chaotic place,

like economically, it's yeah, everyone gets to decide what version of reality they want to paint for voters and be like, yeah, yeah, that's what's going on. And I'm like, here's my idea to fix it, maybe. But I think if you had a president really short, like really make vast changes economically, if you had a president really short like really make vast changes economically he could win a third term and hide his polio i was just thinking about and then an auto mechanic from missouri would accidentally become president like i think people if you really really do this there's a chance you never have to leave me like a hat store owner or something truman like he was like a haberdasher i think he worked at him i think he worked at a mechanic shop he's from uh my hometown touches independence where he's from and that was our big like go on school field trips to the truman museum and make a the buck stops here sign for your desk

that was my favorite part of oppenheimer was oh yeah him just showing up and being an abject psycho. Oh, my gosh. Get this bitch out of my sight. Gary, Gary, get in here. I want you to act as though this is an SNL tape audition. Like Truman just got elected and you're trying to bump James Austin Johnson off the show. All right. Let's take a quick break and we'll come back and talk about JD. I'm Jess Casavetto, executive producer of the hit Netflix documentary series Dancing for the Devil, the 7M TikTok cult.

And I'm Clea Gray, former member of 7M Films and Shekinah Church. And we're the host of the new podcast, Forgive Me For I Have Followed.

This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts, nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts, separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today. And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried

to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore. The story of one strange and violent summer. This is Rip Current. Available now with new episodes every Thursday. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

And we're back. We're back. And Vance will make him dance had his big night on wednesday yeah his wife introduced him his wife introduced him and then he's also a i'm like you i'm a true hillbilly piece of shit i get it man you read my book anyway uh but yeah i think but like yeah so that's him accepting my mom fucking sucks i booked three billboards outside my town just to talk about my murdered daughter that is as authentic his vision of america is as authentic as three billboards i can't get too far into talking about jd vance without time when he first popped on the scene with the hillbilly

and things like this before i entertained getting into the book. I was one of the people who fell for the idea of I'm from Missouri and my family and most of the people I grew up with are rednecks. And I really desperately wanted there to be a reality where he's correct. And this is disenfranchised ideas and these sort of things basically based on the back of his book and the press for his book, right? And I was like, I guess he kind of has this idea and this thing. I just so desperately didn't want it to just all be rooted in hate.

Unfortunately, it seems to have unveiled that it is. So it'd be unfair for me to make fun of this. I mean, I think he's one of the worst people in the world and is clearly just a grifter and that's opened up even more. But his first couple of days of popularity, I so desperately wanted there to be some sort of more humane reason that these people I've known my whole life were resorting to such hateful things that I think I hoped he was being authentic and correct. Right.

Yeah. Yeah. And where do we end up on that one? So far from there. It's like so far from there. Yeah. I can't. You know, I want to. i think he's the worst dude but i

was there right at the beginning was just like maybe you know like hey maybe yeah for like criticizing for three days and i was like i didn't know calling trump hitler would end up being a compliment right yeah exactly it's like and that's not so far this was pre- him. This was just, the book was about to launch and everyone was so excited. I was like, you know what? Maybe there's a reason my cousin's husbands do think like this. Right. And then it turns out it's hate. Yeah, yeah.

And generally hate and fear. And, but I just so desperately wanted there to be any reality to it. And I gave the book any sort of entertainment i was like oh this isn't even that yeah yeah well the speech i think we've before i even i mean the speech was whatever like he's just like we said he's saying nice things about working people but i think the context around how jd vance operates as a politician and as a person i think is important to even process what he said out loud and know it's absolute nonsense. Like, again, he's chummy as hell with a ton of Silicon Valley billionaires like Peter Thiel put $13 million into his Senate campaign, along with like people from the oil and

gas industry. He's against worker protections and unions and votes against any bill that would help workers. That's just on paper. Like something comes up to help workers. Nope, I'm against it. And he's also a millionaire off the back of working as a venture capitalist, again, for people like Peter Thiel. So, but he bothered to say shit like this during his speech, quote, we need a leader who's not in the pocket of big business, but answers to the working man, union and non-union alike we're done ladies and gentlemen catering to wall street we'll commit to the working man uh-huh uh-huh uh the afl cio uh says that like whenever any kind of bills have come up to help working people and unions uh he

gets a zero percent score of of voting for the good of working people. The average in the Senate for the GOP is three percent, which is by a letter grade failing, I think. Oh, I'm pretty sure. Right. It would have to be a pretty huge curve. He's such a veep level of grifter. I mean, that it's it's such a prop up political fake everything that you just can't fathom people not seeing through even though like you know it's so horrifically fake and yet dire and sad there's uh and yet uh ezra klein who i think is has says smart things a lot of the time his reaction to the selection of J.D. Vance as like a politician who is pro-worker in that he like talks to them it seems like and is like willing to hear them out and say the right things but it's it's just amazing that these people are able to will themselves to fall for the same shit

over and over that like well but he says all the right things when it comes down to like actual legislation he's just you know the reason he's there is because of his relationship with peter teal and elon musk and those people are not going to even if he wanted to like become an economic populist. It's like if Joe Biden wanted to become an economic populist. I think it's hard to admit you're wrong. And it's really hard to admit you've been wrong. And it's really, really hard to admit you've been wrong when you've bought that much merch. That's right.

You know what I mean? I threw out my Woody Allen DVDs. Brave. I went and picked them back up and... Dusted them off, yeah. I mean, it is crazy going to the movies. He's got a good point. I think it is just people are... You're so dug in. You just consume and look up everything that affirms you've been making the right choices this whole time

and that you couldn't be wrong. It's so hard to admit you're wrong and then i think once you admit you're wrong it feels so great and you feel fine but right but i mean they've done a good job of getting their folks to dig in it's like so it's i don't even know what to get like the republican party is so consistently against any kind of like redistribution of wealth of any sort so to be up there and be like it ain't going to wall street anymore it's going to main street or whatever yeah that's not fucking happening ever like i'm sorry yeah you gotta make everyone but everyone's afraid of uh uh alphabet right yeah right right yeah yeah exactly gotta pander to some sort of weird fake fear i've been 100 winning the messaging around that like in the way of like how they gesture

to middle america like that seems to be working but like for some reason with j Vance now, like people who know things and right for the New York times are like, but maybe this time this guy means it. And I was like, no, he fucking doesn't. I remember this happening in 2016. A lot of like, well,

a shit, like a shakeup in the whole system could be good. And how little bad could he actually do? He could shake things up but there's checks and balances to prevent any dire sorts yeah what you know and yeah you sort of like well that seemed kind of favorable at the time yeah right i mean he puts tax cuts in place that make the yeah 20 richest people like seven times wealthier what long-term bad things could happen if ronald reagan is president right could anything be affecting us in 30 years

yeah i mean i think it's like it's kind of like you know the republicans they do little they do mini micro populism stuff you know like with like you know when trump was like ah nafta such a bum rap or whatever like they know what to say and do like sort of things that but enact policies that end up actually helping business like the business owners like more than workers and like that's their version like we heard you on that uh and put all these tariffs on products to help you yeah um but i think again i think but again jd vance just he's just very smart you know I mean? Like he he for someone who has been so out there, like with his anti-abortion stance, the guy didn't mention it at all during the speech. Yeah, he knows. He doesn't need those clips surfacing any more than they already will. Yeah, exactly. So he's like he's clearly triangulating and trying to say what's going to get the, excited and along with the people they paraded out

with Amber Rose to be like, look at this new coalition we're building of this woman who we'll call a rapper because that will signify to our viewers that that means a person of color. That's why you don't know her. Did they call her a rapper? Yeah, they called her a rapper.

Wow. Yeah. I mean, Parappa the Rapper is more of a rapper than Amber Rose. At least Parappa had rapper in the title, but not Amber Rose. No, no, no. So, yeah, it's it's time will only tell where this goes. But probably somewhere good. I think we're I think we're all right. Yeah, sure. Okay. Yeah. This all seems good. I'll jump in the I'll jump in the milky opium bath. Just let it take me. All right. Well, Kyle Ayers, what a pleasure having you on The Daily Psych. We got to wrap this thing up like Matt Gaetz's face. That's right.

Oof. Traveling at the speed of light. Yeah. We talked about it on yesterday's episode, it turns out. But where can people find you, you all that good stuff uh yeah i'm at kyle ayers on pretty much all the stuff whatever the websites are named by whatever billionaires at various points you can find me on their twitter and instagram i'm kyle ayers things on tiktok i'm not that good at it i have a podcast called never seen it where comedians rewrite famous

movies they've never seen and we read whatever they figure that probably is and uh if you're in scotland or gonna be there or know anyone who goes to the fringe festival come tell them to come check out my show about living with degenerative brain nerve disease called hard to say it's funny yeah it sounded fake but it is and is there a work of media that you've been enjoying i am absolutely obsessed with the engagement bait of threads i cannot stop getting on threads and watching it's only engagement bait it has nothing to it's supposed to be just adam newman the comedian adam newman has only been posting things because threads algorithm is all based around fake engagement. So he posted like, why is California's pizza so much better than New York's?

And has zero likes and 253 replies. He tweeted, or he posted on Threads, Los Angeles is actually one of the cheapest cities to live in if you think about it. And then he posted looking for a two bedroom in LA for me, my wife, two cats and a dog. 850 max. No yard is a deal breaker.

Hit me with leads in a nice neighborhood. 377 replies. Zero likes. And then he replied to that own one with, I think a lot of people misunderstood this post i'm looking to buy 850 max just complete engagement baiting is so funny to me it's so good oh shit i love when people he's adam d newman on threads it's so it's all he does on there is stuff like that i didn't i haven't thought about threads in so long.

That's great. It already feels like a graveyard. Yeah. Yeah. It is weird. But it's funny to see people who were not posting really to social media be all up in threads all the time. It feels like low stakes Twitter for me. And you're like, okay, I get it.

Yeah. Get in where you fit in. No low likes Twitter. Miles, where can people find you? Is there a work of media you've been enjoying? At Miles of Grey on Twitter, Instagram,

and shit, even on threads. So I'll probably put something up every six months. And you can find Jack and I on the Basketball Podcast. Miles and Jack got Matt Boosties. You can also find me

on 420 Day Fiance. Some of the tweets I like, I've got three, actually. First one from our very own guest at Kyle Ayers tweeted, I hope COVID doesn't sap all of Biden's energy. Kyle, that made me laugh. At Peter Twinklage tweeted, Nancy Pelosi, if you successfully oust Biden from the Democratic ticket, I will dedicate the rest of my life to insider trading i swear and uh past guest melissa lozada oliva at hello melissa tweeted what is so realistic about sex in the city is her friends never read her little articles um yeah that's so true
