In California during the summer of 1975, within the span of 17 days and less than 90 miles, two women did something no other woman had done before, try to assassinate the President of the United States. One was the protege of Charles Manson. 26-year-old Lynette Fromm, nickname Squeaky. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore.

The hilarious and talented Guy Montgomery. Hello, Guy. That's me. I actually got sent an AKA on Twitter, but it was so long ago. It's lost in the wash.

But I imagine it's something along the lines of, his name is Guy. He's so cool. There it is. Thank you to the Twitter user for submitting that great AKA. Nailed it. Nailed it. Someone was trying to just like send, I don't know, was clairvoyant. It was like, next time there's a New Zealand guest, which would have only been you or your co-host, Tim, right?

That's right. The only Kiwis we've had on. But someone was like, we need something like we don't know how lucky we are for the next New Zealand guest. But that AK never came. So I see you on there on the Discord. I appreciate the people who write the AKs, but even more the people who just give assignments for AKAs. That's great. I'm not going to do anything with this, but here's an idea for y'all.

That's a great way to live your life is you just throw your ideas to the side and hope that someone else will pick them up. Yeah. Shout out to y'all. Yeah. Guy, what's good in New Zealand? Anything new down your way is what's good in new zealand what anything new down your way what's good in new zealand oh man i'm in auckland new zealand which means i'm currently spending a lot of time in my house right police state that's pretty good a days ago, my partner and I stained the deck.

And, you know, you've got to give it up because the deck looks different now. It's better. And where it rains, we just stand there and we look at the deck and we're like, that rainwater is not impacting that deck. Yeah. That's a big feeling for us. So that's pretty good. How many days have you been inside?

This is about four weeks. So a little while. Auckland is the only city that is still at the strictest iteration of our lockdown. So the rest of New Zealand is allowed to, they're out there having pina coladas and getting caught in the rain and all that fun stuff. But, I mean, I don't know. It's one of the few times in history when I feel like it's very easy to contribute. What's that you say? I've got to stay in my house?

I'm all over that. I was doing a huge amount of that work before you asked. Citizen of the year, actually. Dedicated to this. And this is based on, I think there's like a few, like maybe, I think less than a thousand cases of COVID. Yeah. So this was in response to one community case,

which was roughly four weeks ago. So as soon as you get your push notifications on your phone, and I was out to lunch with some friends, and then I got a notification that said, there is a community case of COVID-19. And I thought, oh, damn. Here we go. Yeah, that means I'll be at my house for a while. oh, damn. Here we go.

Yeah, that means I'll be at my house for a while. And so we're still, because we're behind somewhat in vaccination rates. Because you don't know what's in it, right? Well, yeah, there's a huge nationwide sort of spurning of all of the research that's gone into the miracle of science. We've seen how New Zealand's acting. Yeah, we know. The miracle of science. We've seen how New Zealand's acting.

Yeah, we know. But no, so basically, yeah, until our population is, there's a high percentage, I mean, I think elimination is a strategy until there's a certain threshold of vaccinations when they might start looking into other ways we can handle it. But basically, what happened

is everything was groovy in New Zealand and then we had a travel bubble with Australia and one person from Australia came over when they had Delta, and they went back. And, you know, like, I like Australians, but I only saw one of the bastards when they were visiting. It wasn't the same one. You know, I don't know.

Yeah. Basically, we had one. The number's already coming down. Like, yesterday we had 11 new cases and hopefully we'll resume regularly, you know, regular broadcasting soon. Oh, good, good. Is the slow vaccination rate based on resistance among the population? No, no.

We're sort of, we've got our sleeves rolled up and we're just dying for someone to prick a needle into us. But it's sort of a volume thing and a strategy thing. Right. In terms of, you know, they vaccinated the people who need vaccinations first. And then it turns out spry 32-year-old stand-up comedians are pretty damn near the bottom of the list. Oh, shit. In due time. But no, I think we're currently,

I think 66% of the population have had the first dose, and I think about a third of the country are fully vaxxed. So it's happening, and we just got a shitload more. I think 66 is better than the US still. Judging by the way that citizens respond to government mandates, I think we might have different goals. Yes. Yeah. All right, Guy, we're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First, we're going to tell our listeners just a few of the things we're talking about. We're going to talk about Gavin Newsom's recall strategy. We are going to talk about Biden just exploding the Republican brainstem with these mandates, as you mentioned. So it's not we're allergic to governmental mandates.

We're going to talk about Greg Abbott, the Texas. Yeah, I know. He just doesn't get enough burn. And we just need to give that guy a little bit of run, see what he's about. We're going to talk about Cesar Millan's pit bull. We're going to talk about Miss America, which turned 100 years old. All of that, plenty more. But first, Guy, we like to ask our guest, what is something from your search history? something from your search history well first of all can i say jack those are a lot of conversations i'm looking forward to i i you know you know me i can't wait to get down and dirty with the gritty bits of american politics and really chime in yeah with constructive insight that's what you're here for yeah something from my search history is uh clever things to say on a podcast. Hey! Actually, what I was... It seems like something there would be

like a Quora article about. No, the last thing I was looking up last night was a vague recollection of an actor who hated Scrappy-Doo. So I looked up famous actor hates Scrappy-Doo because I don't know if you you know about this but you know the 2002 live action remake of scooby-doo yeah yeah i got the answer i was looking for with a little bit of clicking but tim curry who's a huge scooby-doo

fan and had actually starred in a director video scooby-doo movie in 1999 he was he was set to be in the scooby-doo movie but then he found out that scrappy-doo was going to be in the movie and he hates scrappy-doo so much he said no thank you not for me holy shit without explanation just like he's like i don't fuck with scrappy do pretty much yeah talk to my people yeah that's amazing i i'm trying to picture the classy like originalist text version of scooby-doo that he thought he was signing up for like when when he first signed up he was like this is going to be gritty it's going to be all about the original cast before they fucking jumped the shark with that scrappy do shit that's incredible it's just such a like it's such a beautiful little nugget of trivia and you know when you know like late at night when you're you're

sort of you're meant to be in bed but there are certain parts of your brain that are just on a circuit, which are like, I got to get to the bottom of this or we're not sleeping at all. And so, yeah, top of the search bar. Tim Curry. One of the greats. I mean, he's such a, you know, prominent character actor and performer. I wonder what, in my mind, like he seems so up for anything but just to hear that he's like don't be fooled yeah he's like congo great what is it about these fucking weird mutant apes and we're fighting for mythical diamonds and i'm herkimer hermolka i love that

i love that hold on scrappy do is in this get the fuck out of my face you're like wow okay tim okay i feel like when congo when people were signing up for congo since it was wasn't that the first creighton book that got made into a movie after jurassic park people were like this is it's the next jurassic park baby get ready to get your wheelbarrows ready for all the money that's going to be pouring in, baby. Yeah. They said baby a lot. I remember. Yeah, they do.

I was in a lot of those meetings. It was sort of ushered in the next wave of people using baby sort of colloquially. A lot of people think his most iconic role is Rocky Horror Picture Show or Pennywise, but I will always say it is the bellhop or hotel manager from Home Alone 2. Oh. Slice of pizza! It's a matter of store wouldn't

accept your stolen credit card. Yeah, for me again, it's Herkimer Hermulka, formerly of Romania. That's my Tim Curry role. I don't know what film it is, but there's a great clip of him

that does the rounds on Twitter occasionally, which is him like, I'm going to the one place that's not been corrupted by capitalism. Space! Space! Oh, shit. But do not put that motherfucker in the script

i mean he did that real topic he did that for scrappy do's sake because he knew what was going to happen to that little shit if he was on on set with him it was going to be you know it was going to be on yeah i've now got a visual of like tim carrey just punting a toddler in front of a green screen with all those ping pong balls on them. What is something you think is overrated? Well, something I'm doing right now here in New Zealand, which is having some of your own medicine. You'd think it would be nice because you developed the medicine. You'd think it would be nice because you developed the medicine.

But no, we've been in such a unique position in New Zealand for so long where it was like we were enjoying all of the freedoms of living in a COVID-free world. And then, you know, like it was an instance where it genuinely felt like we were the sort of cultural and sporting hub of the entire globe, which is such a rare feeling. And then now we're all back in our houses and I'm like watching sports in the UK and in the States and the stadiums are full. I know that life must resume. But like reading about what's happening health-wise in those countries

and then watching the footage, I'm like, wow. But I just, yeah, the boot is well and truly on the other foot where i've got all of my friends who are living abroad now and look like they're having such fantastic summers right and i'm i'm bound within these four walls you got that hard winter coming or you're in the throes of it i was curious because it was funny to watch sort of the articles that were coming out when y'all entered lockdown a few weeks ago. Because they were just, for us, they were like these time capsule articles from March 2020 of like, what to do now since you're inside. And like activities to consider when you're at home now.

And I was just like, God, y'all are at that point, huh? Yeah. Wow. Yeah, back to the beginning. But to the beginning but you guys can do like a speed run of all those stages that we went through because yeah you know you could do baking bread you can do puzzles it is actually psychologically it's very different we there are a lot of loaves of bread flying around this house a year ago but i tell you what there's a lot of store-bought bread being consumed this year yeah i i still consider you

guys the standard in the sense that you did enter lockdown to prevent people from dying i think that was that was yeah we've um we've done it again yeah it's um this damn millstone of empathy that hangs around our collective necks i just yeah, yeah. It's exhausting. I like that the biggest scandal, though, is like, or at least the thing that Jacinda has had to comment on, was people having sex in a hospital during lockdown. And I was like, damn, y'all still got these cool, like, whimsical scandals still, despite it all. Well, you know how it is, Miles. You ever been in a hospital? Horniest place on earth. Yeah, man.

Sometimes you need your PM to step in and say, hey, doctors, patients, for the love of Christ, could you please stop having sex during this lockdown? I love how she called it sexual relations would be a high-risk activity or something.

I like that. Very, very professional. So this was at a press conference. Somebody asked her, is it appropriate for a doctor and a patient to be having sex in the hospital during a pandemic, right? Yeah. That was like an actual question that somebody asked. I can play this soundbite.

It's pretty, it's just pretty awesome. A patient and a visitor at Auckland Hospital. Would you say that is this a high risk activity in the current climate? Well, I think it's a high risk activity potentially. However, I don't know any of the details about that interaction. I would say generally, regardless of the COVID status,

that kind of thing shouldn't generally be part of visiting hours, I would have thought. Great. I would have thought the full-on banging in the room would be outside today. That is fun. It is, honestly, it's so, I know this will sound silly coming out of my mouth, but it's so jarring to hear

a New Zealand accent on a U.S. media property, even though obviously I have one. You are that person. But hearing the question come through that my can's just in, I was like, Jesus Christ, what sort of novelty voice is that? Oh, man. Well, yeah, I'm hoping you find some new activities to engage in and, you know, let this lockdown blow over. Yeah.

Yeah. Guy, what is something you think is underrated? Amanda freaking Bynes? Hugely underrated. Like sort of reshape the landscape of sketch comedy for children of a certain generation. Star of all that. Star of the Amanda Bynes show. I watched She's the Man recently.

That sort of US high school reworking of Twelfth Night where she plays dual characters. She's so funny. She's so good. And then obviously, you know, her career took a backseat to her, I don't know, her personal affairs or whatever. But she's also published the greatest tweet of all time, which is when she added Drake. She said, I want at Drake to murder my vagina. Yeah, that was sort of the beginning of people saying, what's happening over there? Yeah.

over there yeah but no i just i i i feel like she and we were robbed of like one of the great careers because i like i watched the movie today you know i'm i'm i'm at the part of lockdown where i'm watching those early to mid 2000s sort of yep i would cinematic entries and i was just like holy shit this woman is so funny yeah but no one's talking about it anymore. How is the movie in general? Pretty good, man. Is it? Yeah, Channing Tatum is her, he plays opposite, he's quite old, but my God, he's a smoke show. And David Cross is this sort of hapless, bumbling, well-intentioned principal. Like, there's a lot of sort of throwaway laugh lines it's also an incredibly non-challenging

you know like thing to what it's uh i don't know if comfort food's right but like you know it's it's fine yeah yeah it meant that 90 minutes of my day weren't there after it it's just yeah it's her whole thing is kind of just follows this sort of same arc with so many people who are child actors you know yeah it ends up being a really just it leads to substance abuse or other you know mental health issues and yeah it's funny that you say that because she sort of like she sort of had her her troubles with her mental health around the same time where people it's like the worst environment for that to happen if you're like get out of here amanda binds yeah and like to your point you're like when you look back it's sort of like her body of work you're like i see this potential for

like a really long career but unfortunately like having a you know coming up in this age and society where there's just very little understanding extended to them it was yeah such a specific or not specific like it was all of time until recently really when we'd lampoon anyone who he was struggling any sort of yeah but um yeah it's it is era specific i feel like you know lindsey lohan could also be put in the same category of actors who were who were on the you know who looked like they were destined for great things, but then just became ripe for the lampooning. Yeah. Well, she had her Ibiza, or no, Mykonos Beach Club reality show.

So Lindsay's definitely had her few shots back at it. And was a great humanitarian. I don't know if you remember when she tried to steal that child from a a like a refugee family with her terrible accent she's like tell the people what you need i'm lindsey lohan and everyone's like oh no i don't remember that bit yeah yeah and again you know fucking being a child actor it's almost like we have to be careful with people in their developmental years to not put too much shit on their shoulders. No, no, no. We need to thrust them into the spotlight and treat them like adults.

Yeah, or be around asshole people in production who are just going to scream at a 12-year-old and be like, yeah, that's fine. We got to make our day, though. We're not doing overtime. You're not spending time with a 12-year-old before they... Some of them need a good screaming. Especially the famous ones. Too much damn light in those eyes. Got to dim that shit down a little bit. Yeah.

You better believe it. All right. Let's take a quick break and we'll be right back. Señora Sex Ed is not your mommy sex talk. This show is La Plática like you've never heard it before. We're breaking the stigma and silence around sex and sexuality in Latinx communities. This podcast is an intergenerational conversation between Latinas from Gen X to Gen Z. We're covering everything from body image to representation in film and television.

We even interview iconic Latinas like Puerto Rican actress Ana Ortiz. I felt in control of my own physical body and my own self. I was on birth control. I had sort of had my first sexual experience. If you're in your señora era or know someone who is, then this is the show for you. We're your hosts, Diosa and Mala, and you might recognize us from our flagship podcast, Locatora Radio.

We're so excited for you to hear our brand new podcast, Señora Sex Ed. Listen to Señora Sex Ed on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. 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. I've been thinking about you. I want you back in my life. It's too late for that. I have a proposal for you. Come up here and document my project. All you need to do is record everything like you always do.

One session. 24 hours. BPM 110. 120. She's terrified. Should we wake her up? Absolutely not. What was that?

You didn't figure it out? I think I need to hear you say it. That was live audio of a woman's nightmare. This machine is approved and everything? You're allowed to be doing this? We passed the review board a year ago. We're not hurting people. There's nothing dangerous about what you year ago. We're not hurting people. There's nothing

dangerous about what you're doing. They're just dreams. Dream Sequence is a new horror thriller from Blumhouse Television, iHeartRadio, and Realm. Listen to Dream Sequence on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hello, everyone. I am Lacey Lamar. And I'm Amber Ruffin, a better Lacey Lamar. Boo.

Like, if you're out the window, you have to say, hey, I'm watching you outside of the window. Just, you know what? Listen to the Amber and Lacey, Lacey and Amber show on Will Ferrell's Big Money Players Network on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. And let's check in with the California recall. The vote is mere days away. One day. Mere day away tomorrow. And, you know, the numbers, the polls, which are absolutely no indication of what's going to happen, but it does affect how people think about what's going to happen, seem to suggest Newsom has firmed up his position.

But, yeah, he's basically just kind of gestured at the gop and been like that is what you want yeah the in the beginning everyone i remember the first when a lot of the early polling came out you're like oh my god there's a real fuck there's a huge enthusiasm gap between republicans who just want to get get one in to try and you know oust the governor and replace it with you know fucking wannabe fascist larry elder and because of the messaging that's come out because you know they relied on the powers of like kamala harris bernie sanders elizabeth warren i think joe biden is gonna has like made an appearance or at some point, you know, like you have Obama tweeting about this and so many ads that the gap has begun to tighten. And yeah, like you're saying his whole thing has nothing to really do about like, yo, look what I did for the state, because let's let's be really clear at the moment. Gavin Newsom hasn't decided where he stands like on a

bill that is trying to restructure warehouse standards, that would essentially be, it's very much pointed at Amazon to give people, you know, time to urinate. And he's still kind of like, Hmm, let me, let me consider this. So we kind of know what we get with Gavin Newsom, but in comparison, what he's doing is, Hey, look over there, look at what they're going to do. It's just essentially that if you pick the other guy, it's going to exacerbate Corona virus, like the pandemic, what they're going to do. It's just essentially that if you pick the other guy, it's going to exacerbate coronavirus, like the pandemic, because they're going to repeal all of the health and safety measures and just basically be like, yeah, they're going to be like Ron DeSantis

or Donald Trump. And that has, I guess, been enough for people to be like, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, we don't want that. Because he's not talking about his own record at all. Every politician's dream yeah running against a level of incompetence or a bar that is being lowered so rapidly that all you have to do is stand in front of the soft focus of the nothing you've done and point over there and be like oh yeah that looks pretty bad huh right right okay yeah i know

i don't i'm not really being unequivocal about whether I believe workers should have the time to pee. But look at this, though. But get a load of this guy. Look at this guy. He tried to he tried to he ate his mask on the steps of the Capitol. I mean, is this your governor? I don't know. But yeah, speaking of that low bar, they're loving it.

that low bar they're loving it but more than anything it seems like the democratic party is also really starting to see something that they can run on which isn't like hey remember all that shit we promised you in the presidential election it's going to be more a midterm thing of like the pandemic could go fully backwards if you give these people more power because they're telling you what they want to do which is like all bets are off let's embrace covid again because we don't want rules which seems a little bit dangerous because the covid situation and the national mood with regards to covid seems to change from day to day so like that seems like i i don't know i i might just, do the things you promised to do and actually, like, protect work. No, no, no.

Come on, come on, come on. Who lost their job? Hushabye, hushabye. No, no, no. We're just going to. Hushabye, hushabye. I assume part of it's because of, like, ideology and the belief that Democrats are actually meant to impact positive change but it's it's sort of odd to me when i think about it that if a republican runs against the idea of being like you know look over there it could be so much worse when they when they don't have a platform or a campaign to run on and just right which is just pointing at something

else it feels like quite a powerful political weapon and it's useful when the democrats do it you're like no no you don't get this like you don't get to do this one right you have to you have to have ideas right right and it's like i don't know if that you don't get to do this one right you have to you have to have ideas right right and it's like i don't know if that's the framework through which you see it as well but it's sort of um yeah i can't quite get my head around it well it's the i mean kind of think about it that way i feel like allows the republicans to sort of set the standard of what yeah like you know the that you just have to like fight at their level kind of fucks the fucks the society and unfortunately politicians do have power yeah they drag you down to the level and then they go you look at you down here in the mud this is where

we live yeah and this whole thing is you know in regards to these stricter rules, Gavin Newsom has been pretty strict comparatively with how he's running California and certain mandates like and whether or not they're asking for higher safety standards in schools and things like that have sort of been kind of the front of mind for him. And but there's also, you know, McAuliffe in Virginia, he's also been pretty strict. And overall, they've seen that when the governors do that, it pulls even well, like independence. So they're really kind of sort of maneuver drafting behind this sentiment that exists in our country that so many people are like, why are we fucking handholding people who reject any notion that these vaccines and just basic safety standards are going to help us get out of this pandemic. Like we, we need to get our, we, we need to sort of side with people who are saying, please, you know, lead us out of here rather than kind of like holding your hands up and being like, I don't know, it was a local decision. Like, let's see

what you can do as a leader. And, and that's's been I guess they've they've appreciated polling that suggests Americans are for majority like not the people we're seeing in those school board meetings. But no, but they're just the loudest. And, you know, a lot of people point to the fact that a lot of that behavior is, you know, whether by design or not intended to give people this like data to say, like, you're not alone. There's many of us like this join this movement when it's it's a pretty vocal minority and then along with the governor election i think we're also seeing what the republican strategy is going to be too which is again just screaming at the top of your lungs they're gonna steal the election because that's what larry elder who has been the sort of front runner, if the recall goes through, if it gets past 50%, he said, quote, what I believe is that no matter what they do,

and I believe that there might very well be shenanigans as it were in the 2020 election, no matter what they do, so many Californians are angry about what's going on. And then he said he has a voter integrity board. I don't know what that means. Like I have a voter integrity board all set up. Most of these people are lawyers. Yeah. It's an ironing board. Yeah. Yeah. Just checks the integrity of all sorts of divining rods and stuff. Right. And they said, so when people hear things, they contact us. We're going to file lawsuits in a timely fashion. Now, that may be tough. Just the shenanigans argument, because the number of you know, the number of actual Republicans in the state mathematically sort of makes this a bit difficult. If the turnout is around 55% in the state, then for the recall campaign to be successful, they would need more people to turn up for the recall as they did for people that voted for Trump in 2020. Right. So that's good yeah like we're starting to look at like a lot of analysts are looking at the number of ballots that have already come in and like that it's double for democrats and things like that plus what the real number is like as they see the projections what could happen again we could be completely fucking up and right they're swearing in fucking Larry Elder at some point

All that to say if you live in California Please vote I know it's not perfect When we all have our misgivings Especially with how this state could be run better But absolutely again We're caught in a fucking stupid binary Of like

Kroger brand Patrick Bateman Or the fucking radio host who's like man slavery was like just such a joke y'all and i'm black so you can take my word for it white racist people that's right vote californians i live in auckland new zealand i've been i've been sending them all sorts of fraudulent ballots doing your part if i can vote so too can you If I can vote, so too can you. If I can vote all the way from Auckland, what's your excuse? And by the way, something we have brought up before, because the way that Newsom and the Democrats have kind of played this is that they tell you to vote no on whether he should be recalled. But then they also tell you not to vote in the second part of the election,

But then they also tell you not to vote in the second part of the election, which is where you would pick a candidate that would replace him if he were voted out. And we didn't we said we didn't know if like if you lose that and just think about every major election and how much conservative the conservative side has overperformed based on the polling like it like from Brexit forward. So you have to get out there. You have to vote no. But then I don't know vote like there's it does feel like the democrats should have consolidated behind a single candidate i think that there's a guy named dr brandon ross who's just a doctor uh he's not he's not like a politician or anything but he basically just a doctor yeah like he's not like a nothing more nothing less he's he's just like i ran because it didn't seem like there were any real Democrats who were running. Like the leading Democrat candidate is a YouTube influencer who seems to be like more economically libertarian than anything else. And so, I don't know.

I'm going Dr. Brandon Ross for the win. Long shot. You're not going to go for Kevin kevin pathraft the youtube financial advice guy no doesn't he seem doesn't he seem like kind of libertarian dude he's the second you're like i think vaccine mandates decisions should be left to individual businesses and schools you're like bye-bye right yeah so i i don't know if you want to like vote as insurance after you vote no i i would go Dr. Brandon Ross because he's like, yeah, we're just going to do the same thing as Newsom did, which is better than all the other alternatives that I've seen.

He's running the best stealth campaign. He's like, I'm a fucking Republican. Well, that's what I think. I legitimately think that's what's happening with path path wrath is that he he seems like he has like a republican policies well yeah i mean he's just that thing of you know socially accepting ish but then there's also a lot of like in your business my business rights type stuff you do when you're a financial advice guy you're not really out here advocating for the working poor you boys know you should be in charge don't you

who's that well it's us thank you if we were the drivers no no it's the three of us if we were in the driver's seat you know we had all these kinks out no trouble no worries get this unholy triumvirate into the governor's mansion please vote o'brien gray montgomery oh shit watch that could be something in the future where people like i don't know i like this group of three bros rather than one candidate we're like oh fuck all right let's. Let's talk. Let's talk. Vaccine mandates. The Republicans are pissed. They're fucking. They've. This is the moment that I think they were always waiting to scream about, which is when. And most people were like, when is when are we just going to make vaccines like mandatory to like, you know, like work in a federal, like just the bare minimum.

And we're there. Joe Biden started off his big announcement yesterday. Just, you know, trying to be like an old disappointed dad. Okay. Talking to people who haven't gotten the vaccine. And let's hear the old Joe Biden give us, you know, just his really, really disappointed in you pal energy. My message to unvaccinated Americans is this. What more is there to wait for?

What more do you need to see? We've made vaccinations free, safe and convenient. The vaccine is FDA approval. Over 200 million Americans have gotten at least one shot. We've been patient. And their cum is worthless. But our patience is wearing thin. You hear that?

Patience is wearing thin. You hear what I'm saying? Don't, Pappy's getting mad. Don't have him call Corn Pop and meet you outside the old rec center with a rusty blade. Like, okay. I mean, I get it. It's true. He's sort of like, what else can there be?

The bit that stood out to me was when he said that all of the people with half a vaccine, their cum is now worthless. Yeah. Oh, sorry. That was me, Guy. I apologize. No, no. Yeah, I added that commentary.

But yeah. Commentary, yeah. Commentary on the worthlessness of the come of the vaccinated. All employers with 100 plus employees have to ensure their workers are vaccinated or either tested weekly, requiring vaccinations for all federal workers and for millions of contractors that do business with the federal government. There's like more details along with that. The second is about getting more help for people who need, you know, boosters or who are going to be more at risk during this pandemic. The next being if like people working in schools like keeping the schools safe so that's like calling on states to adopt vaccine requirements for school employees providing more funding to schools who if they like are in a state where a governor's like if you fucking take care of the kids i swear to god you will get no money well

they also have a plan to say if that happens we'll come in and subsidize that because you shouldn't be punished for you know looking after children's safety then getting more testing ramped up getting cheaper at home tests because that's been a huge fucking another stupid just shortcoming of this uh pandemic for the united states is like the testing regimes have been like really not great getting free testing then there's like more ppp stuff and protections for small businesses and like adding like federal and military medical teams to hospitals and regions that are like in these situations we're like we have no more beds we have no more doctors we only have more sick people and yeah that's been but the gop they have just completely predictably just gotten stuck on the vaccine mandate part none of the other stuff because they're not gonna be like

they want to keep our kids safer they want to help small businesses with certain things no it's this and they're all bringing that. This is Nazi Germany energy. Well, let's hear it from themselves, because sometimes it's just better to hear someone get really, really upset about this because it's it's the bare minimum. First up is let's hear from Josh Mandel, who is clearly currently like the front runner in the Senate sort of primary that's going on. And he is out here basically saying, I don't know that his just, you know, he has a tweet that says, do not comply with tyranny when the Gestapo show up your front door. You know what to do. OK. And this is the clip that he attached to that very brave tweet.

Hey, guys, it's Thursday night, September 9th. I'm driving through Western Ohio. We're driving through a cornfield. Just to set it up, he's literally in front of us, just some weird sign that says Trump in front of a bunch of corn, and someone's hazard lights are flashing, so the lighting's really all kinds of a mess.

Back to the video. Near a town called Lobansville, Ohio, my blood is boiling. Enraged at what I've seen from the White House today. Trampling on our freedom. Trampling on our liberty. Trampling on what I took an oath to defend when I joined the Marine Corps. Joe Biden, I'm not even going to call him President Biden. He's not.

Joe Biden is creating a constitutional crisis. the marine corps joe biden i'm not even going to call him president biden he's not joe biden whoa creating a constitutional crisis okay sorry i can't hear you amongst all the fucking truck traffic as you do your diet beer hall push fool right anyway so that's him it's so funny that he was like i was just driving through a cornfield. What the fuck? Yeah. I mean, that folksiness. It's like, yeah, you got to make a gesture to the heartland of America and don't even put any thought into how much your gesture makes sense.

Like driving through a cornfield. Why the fuck are you doing that? You're ruining a lot of corn, dude. Right through a cornfield? I was just staring at all this great american corn and it was making me so mad yeah as my as my truck tires just ripped apart whoever's crop this is i thought my truck is trampling on on the rights of these corn stocks like joe biden is trampling on our freedoms, our liberties. And again, they all say the same thing

without being very particular or specific. It's just, they have to evoke the, ring the alarm bell like, tyranny, nobody can define that word at all. But you know, it has a negative connotation. And I also just want to talk about Kristi Noem, who, right as it stands, she just signed an executive order essentially banning people's access to abortion medications. She also had just a lot of a lot of things to say, too, when it comes to doing what you need to do what's right for your body to be safe. doing what you need to do what's right for your body to be safe.

This is not a power that is delegated to the federal government. This is a power for states to decide. In South Dakota, we're going to be free, and we're going to make sure that we don't overstep our authority. So we will take action. My legal team is already working, and we will defend and protect our people from this unlawful mandate. Joe Biden has already said, when they said, because obviously

everyone in their fucking literal mother is going to sue to try and alter the course of this, which, by the way, like they said, this these mandates probably won't be actually like in any kind of written form until like maybe four to six weeks. But he just said when they're like, Joe President, Mr. President, what do you think of like all these people who want to sue? He just said, have at it. Yeah. He was just like, I don't care. Like, this is what we have to do.

And, you know, that's I think how a lot of people just feel at this point. Just like, I don't know. What else can you say? Being president of America looks like the worst job in the world. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It is. I mean, you're dealing with the, again, the most propagandized human beings on Earth where we're going to be debating, honestly, at some point, if two plus two is actually four. Or if it's tyranny, that it's four.

Or voter fraud, that two plus two is four. Then there's just some really scathing words that have come out. Matt Walsh has come out and just dunked on Joe Biden by talking about his appearance. Yeah, well, I think it's interesting that we were assured for four years

that Donald Trump is a tyrant, that he is, you know, Hitler incarnate. And meanwhile, he was like the least tyrannical president we've had in a very long time with his, you know, with the way that he used his authority. No, we had to elect this rotting bag of oatmeal to get. Okay. So he said rotting bag of oatmeal.

And that's, that seems to be the general. I was, I was, I was at the open mic. He was trying that gear out the night before. And it crushed. Yeah. Do you guys have oatmeal in New Zealand? Do you call it? What do you mean? Yeah.

Yeah. Oatmeal's not US specific. Why don't some people call it like muesli? Yeah. Yeah. I think we do call it muesli. Actually, I went to a, it was like a Tw was like a twins angels game or something in anaheim like a long time ago when i was in america i remember there were these jocks who were sitting

like we were near the outfield and there were these jocks who were like two rows in front of me and they were trying to trash talk like i couldn't really get a read on what their energy was but they're trying to trash talk this outfield and they're like hey i don't know the guy's name we'll call him greg like hey greg your oatmeal no one likes oatmeal wow and this is like on my first trip to america and i was like wow man not everyone in here is as articulate as i might have imagined yeah i'm thinking about man the violence in this place is unbelievable. Okay. And lastly, I just want to play this one clip just to check in with people on the furthest parts of the right wing spectrum. Coach Dave, Dave Dobbenmeier. We've played some of his takes before, like in past years, because he's always popping up on right wing watch and he's this guy who calls him like his whole persona is he's like a sports coach and is given telling people like all this weird hyper right wing shit but like with his like jesus christ emblazoned baseball hat yeah

and he plays baseball for jesus for jesus absolutely yeah he just at the beginning of last week he was so sick that he could barely do his show. And I just want to play this because it's a really weird it's just a glimpse into someone who is so bought into this idea of what is COVID or not COVID. And they're possibly experiencing it that I think just kind of brings it all together. experiencing it that I think just kind of brings it all together. So this is coach Dave, who says he doesn't have COVID, but his symptoms sure sound like it. Unbelievable. A weekend. I bet I slept. I don't know how much I slept. I woke up to go back to sleep. All as unbelievable. Sweating. Man. In fact, my wife's upstairs with a whip. She didn't even want me to come down here this morning. And I'm here and I covered your prayers. You know, everybody says the same thing.

Oh, you got COVID. What the hell does that even mean? I got COVID. What is that? What is COVID? I got something. And man, that's been I'm telling you, man, it has been like nothing I've ever experienced in my life. I can't eat. I can't even drink. If I drink water, if I drink, I don't matter what it is, I immediately want to throw up. And I have drenched my bed about as many times as you can drench it with fever. And so I just covet your prayers if you would okay the next day he said

i don't have covet if anything i got something from a vaccinated person yeah um so you know you know how those people are running around spreading that fresh vax disease right because you surely seem like someone who attracts the your energy seems so seductive to people who are into vaccines that they would just be swarming around you constantly but yeah it's it's just wild when he says stuff like what is even covid like that's not a legitimate question sir and if you've been this he's even out loud saying this is probably the worst thing i've ever gone through right but still unwilling to even go to get a test to confirm if it is or not and just relying on his like contrarian like macho toxic masculinity and like masculine energy to just be

like what the hell does that even mean sick what does that mean weak you know i don't even i've drenched my bed in sweat multiple times like drenched my bed multiple times it's just and we're just watching this play in like the most painfully ironic tragic way so yeah this is why we have to have you know adults who say this is what we need to do to get through things because if coach dave were the president he would he would probably be opening like uh openly questioning what illness even is like the definition if that's more about having sin or something than you know a viral infection i mean as we the quality of baseball in your country would be you know it would go up remarkably true we we covered before that uh during the 1911 pandemic

they went door to door to make sure you got your vaccine this is not anything new this is not unprecedented this is how you react to a global pandemic i was confused miles when you're going through the like different like steps the different points of biden's kind of plan of action six point plan there was a thing about like not they're not being at home tests but like are are those for people who have lost their taste because you can figure out if you have COVID by tasting your own pee, right? Yeah. Well, and I told you don't say that on the air because that's a test I'm working on privately. It's going to be very lucrative.

And I've only been asking people I've graduated with. Is that just us? Is that just me? It's just you, bro. Tell me, how is it? You got COVID today or not? Do it on camera. Sorry.

Really? I've been working on a similar test, but it's based on the logic that I can taste when I don't have COVID in my pee. Ah. And so every day, fresh cup of piss. Every day, COVID free. You got to be vigilant. No, but they're just saying like we just need to. I know that was a great setup, but generally what it means. No, I know.

Yeah, we just have, they just have to be like, just cheaper. You know what I mean? For anybody to have a pile of tests and like before you go out and be able to do that. But yeah. No, I was, of course, joking. go out and be able to do that. But yeah. No, I was, of course, joking.

I realize that I'm one of the few who can taste COVID in urine, sometimes can even smell it. So, you know, hit me up if you need. Well, you know, together we could put, because I am the other side of the coin. I can't taste when it's in there, but I can taste when it's not in there. So between us, you know, a table full of urine and we'll diagnose you it'll take a long time because you have to fedex the p to la then auckland new zealand and you should get your weeks in about three months there you go we got a backlog you wouldn't believe uh all right let's take a quick break we'll be right back because someone sent their poo

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. I've been thinking about you. I want you back in my life. It's too late for that. I have a proposal for you. Come up here and document my project.

All you need to do is record everything like you always do. One session. 24 hours. BPM 110. 120. She's terrified. Should we wake her up? Absolutely not.

What was that? You didn't figure it out? I think I need to hear you say it. That was live audio of a woman's nightmare. This machine is approved and everything? You're allowed to be doing this? I think I need to hear you say it. That was live audio of a woman's nightmare. This machine is approved and everything? You're allowed to be doing this? We passed the review board a year ago.

We're not hurting people. There's nothing dangerous about what you're doing. They're just dreams. Dream Sequence is a new horror thriller from Blumhouse Television, iHeartRadio, and Realm. Listen to Dream Sequence on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. It was December 2019 when the story blew up. In Green Bay, Wisconsin, former Packers star Kabir Bajabiamila caught up in a bizarre situation. KGB explaining what he believes led to the arrest of his friends at a children's

Christmas play. A family man, former NFL player, devout Christian, now cut off from his family and connected to a strange arrest. I am going to share my journey of how I went from Christianity to now a Hebrew Israelite. I got swept up in Kabir's journey, but this was only the beginning. In a story about faith and football, the search for meaning away from the gridiron and the consequences for everyone involved. You mix homesteading with guns and church and a little bit of the spice of conspiracy theories

that we liked. Voila! You got straight away. I felt like I was living in North Korea, but worse, if that's possible. Listen to Spiraled on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. And Cesar Millan.

Cesar Millan. I like Cesar. Cesar Millan. Cesar Milan. Cesar Milan. I like Cesar. Cesar Milan. Cesar. I haven't heard from him in a while, but he is back in the news getting sued because one of his pit bulls attacked somebody that was visiting his house. It was this woman named Lydia Mattis. She was visiting her mom who works for Cesar Milan. So it's like this building that like Cesar owns and his dog,

one of his pit bulls named Junior apparently was just roaming the halls free because I'm sure like with Cesar money, like, yeah, that's what I love working here. It's just dogs around and everything's cool. This dog bit the fuck out of her and her, and she's basically suing for damages because she had a very promising like

gymnastics career. Apparently she was like, you know, competing at the highest level of youth gymnastics and was like about to get her scholarship but like she just you know she got some pain and shit and it's kind of fucked her up so she's suing but the gossip in this story isn't really about this it's that in this lawsuit this this lawsuit is alleging that like a caesar malone has known this dog has been a problem, but also this dog has like killed another dog, saying that Cesar, quote, new junior had a history of violence yet regularly allowed the dog to roam free. She says the dog had bitten several people and mauled several dogs, including one dog owned by Queen Latifah.

According to a lawsuit, Queen Latifah brought two of her dogs to Caesar's Dog Psychology Center. She says Junior mauled one of her dogs to death, and Lydia claims Caesar covered it up by telling his staff to not tell Queen Latifah that it was attacked, but instead it was hit by a car. I just have to say,

as someone who doesn't know who Cesar Millan is, this is one of the most sensational on-air pivots I've taken part in. We're sort of in the depths of U.S. politics and now there's a man with a dog on the loose that's being rude to Queen Latifah's dog? Yeah, killed Queen Latifah's dog. Oh, man.

Cesar Millan is the dog whisperer. Yeah. Ah, I see. He had a show. And another piece of the jigsaw falls into place. Are you not familiar with Caesar's work? No, you must.

You must watch Caesar's work. There must be an equivalent, right? Because I feel like he set off this whole movement of dog training shows that just blew up. Do you guys have dogs in New Zealand? No, we're hoping to get them next year. We just got cats. We just got cats.

We just got cats. We just got three cats in the whole country. Tom Hooper's 2019 masterpiece, and can I say we love it! You've seen it multiple times. I can see it from Cesar Millan's perspective, I can see that it's a lot of bad

press if word gets out that he's actually not so hot with dogs. Well, he's been sort of in this uh slow descent you know from his high rise status you know spot that he had where a lot of people were like dude your training techniques aren't that great other people like you're just not a good person to work for so over time like the caesar milan veneer has began to erode a bit but just like the idea that whatever this in this lawsuit like that i'm sure because her mom worked like no and you don't add this part junior killed queen latifah's dog and then he tried to make it look like a car accident you're like whoa i don't know what that means but this is all that and

queen latifah hasn't commented. When you first teased that we'd be talking about Cesar Millan's Pitbull, I genuinely thought that Cesar Millan was the person who created the rapping character Pitbull. I thought it was one artistic way of framing a rap name.

Sean Carter's Jay-Z. Right, right, right. Mr. 305 Worldwide. Yes, we all know. What is Pitbull's real name? That would be good. Armando Christian Perez. So it would be Armando Perez's Pitbull.

Yeah. Ladies and gentlemen, Armando Perez's Pitbull. Wow. And it's a black box theater, single spotlight on one stool. And he just comes out with his head down. And then the music turns on and he just activates. Ooh! Okay.

You got a show there. Let's talk Miss America in another pivot to wildly irrelevant subject matter. Yeah. We really do cover the zeitgeist of the day. Yep. End to end and so we've got miss america hitting 100 years old yeah and they seem to be going through a midlife crisis like kind of a identity crisis type thing at 100 years at 100 years which is when you most you tend to go through a midlife crisis. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, my grandma, when she hit 100, she changed her hair up.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. She started wearing stilettos and stuff. It was wild. They just dropped a press release that say they now want to, quote, redefine women's wellness to be focused on optimal health rather than physical appearance yeah a lot of people are baffled they're like what is this what do you know wow what is this it sounds like yeah wellness i mean it sounds like the beginning of a pivot towards assessing these women for their minds well if not their minds at least on the way to it. Oh, yeah, exactly. Organs. Because, you know, if you remember.

We will be weighing your organs. They're like, wow, her kidney function is at the highest levels of all these contestants. I mean, people are saying she may have had some kind of renal procedure going into this, but we'll let the judges decide. So, you know, they've been through this sort of identity crisis many times in 2018. They're like, hey, we're getting rid of the swimsuit shit. And, you know, we're more than just some human livestock show. We value women that wear clothing as well. And this press release is like all over the place.

And most people like we don't what it's not clear what you're saying. Like there's a lot of buzzwords, but it's not clear like what you are fundamentally doing, like what is going on? Because the idea is that they're like their new identity coincides with some, it just sounds like they're announcing that they're collaborating with a weight loss company. So they say, quote, as we usher in the hundredth year of our organization, we are excited to partner with same solution, the better movie, which is another film about like, uh, wellness and diet and thing like that and jonathan baylor to quote provide a science-based program endorsed by harvard medical doctors for optimal women's wellness as we continue our commitment to helping women be the

best versions of themselves an important initiative for the future of our organization honestly stick to your guns, Miss America. Line them up. Say if you think they're hot. Don't confuse yourselves by introducing anything. Like, just ride or die with what you've got, you know? Like, wellness is such a nonspecific and almost loaded word at this point. What is wellness?

It's like... Listen to this. So, the CEO of Miss America went on a show to discuss, she's like, and this in our hundred years, this is really the pivot to the future. And again, even when she says it, it just sounds so fucking vague. You're like, say something that's a real sentence with an idea.

So this is a perfect pivot for Miss America into our next 100 years. We no longer judge on the physical appearance and outer beauty, so to speak, of our candidates. We are focusing on what they do in their communities, what they represent in the education and their career goals. And our goal with the partnership with SANE Solution and, of course, Jonathan Baylor's wellness curriculum is to show that you need to have peak performance to be able to be a successful woman and achieve your greatness. Wow. It's actually, it's exciting. It is exciting for the wrong reasons to see,

you know, like it just changes what you're following Miss America for, I guess. Right. It's like we're going to do blood testing to make sure you are at peak performance. We're you know like it just changes what you're following miss america for i guess right it's like we're gonna we're gonna do blood testing to make sure you are at peak performance we're gonna make sure that you are a well-tuned machine like right because if your organs are working properly then you'll have six-pack abs which is just a good it happens to be a great coincidence that we also judge on but not to do with everything because it still feels at its center it's people parading around to present themselves in this visual sense that how are you then you'd have to completely upend what this is it would be about america's

healthiest woman wellness is also it's just like it's it is so delightfully vague it's like bootleg health it's like how do you how do you define what wellness is it's like i love it i for one welcome this new era of miss america and i can't wait to watch these um these women be assessed for wellness right yeah like there's gonna be like a gwyneth paltrow will be there being like so yeah what are your vibes i feel like i feel like that last girl's vibes are off what are you like yeah yeah the one who was sort of like you know not well you know like i mean it wasn't optimally performing like they're just going to use all this other language to describe physical flaws. But doesn't

that sound fun? Like a pageantry which is based on just the energy the contestants are giving off. Oh, I would love that. I don't feel this. It would be a total farce but so entertaining because it makes anyone watching an expert, if you're like, this pageant

is all about vibes. And you're like, oh shit, I can read vibes. And you're like this this pageant's all about vibes and you're like oh shit i can read vibes and you're like no no j-lo i don't agree with you that's the she's no her vibes are off this isn't correct she's lying about her vibrations yeah because vibes are personal but beauty is objective that's the other thing is like if they're gonna be and again i'm not here to say this is what you need to do or don't do but like if if for how revolutionary that they're trying to make this seem like you'd expect something where they would be like we're trying to sort of you know decouple this concept of physical beauty from having any connection to

achievement or worth right but they can't articulate that fully because it's still this like beauty pageant so i don't know because yeah so we're trying to concentrate on wellness but you're still going to be hot to enter right right because right are we going to see a new kind of pageant contestant because from its foundation it seems like it was built for the male gaze and but i guess this is what's happening as they're trying to be like we can do we can be a more woke version of ourselves but this like this brand i feel is so irrelevant and like yeah that it just feels like these are the final sort of last convulsions of an about to explode 100 year old bloated whale carcass very fun to watch like a historic piece of misogyny have an identity crisis while it's

celebrating its centenary right it really the next 100 years there are strong uh pepsi logo vibes i i know i always talk about this but the leaked right marketing packet that the marketing firm that redesigned the pepsi logo sent to them is one of the great documents of our time and it's just full of just vague bullshit that's like this is the pivot to the millennium mindset of pepsi and then like the only thing they did was like, make it kind of look like it was melting a little bit. It is getting hotter. Yeah, exactly.

But yeah, just one last quote is from one of the guys who started the Sane Solutions Diet, Jonathan Baylor. He said, quote, we enable optimal wellness through proven science, practical habits, and powerful love. So doing that in partnership with such an empowering organization at such a critical inflection point is a dream come true, both as a CEO and a father of two daughters. There it is. I'm a girl dad. I got to say it. I'm a girl dad I gotta say it I'm a father of two daughters So you know

This is actually Really meaningful to me Yeah Optimal wellness Practical habits Powerful You never hear people say As a father of daughters

I find women sexy Yeah Can't connect the two It's always just to be like No no no see like i know this may seem problematic but like i'm doing it from my perspective of someone that is taking up for the ladies of my life yeah but you know credit to the pageant world it seems uh you you as well are trying to figure out what to do in this as the world continues to change and this cancel culture yeah brother well guy uh on that note it's been a pleasure as always having you where can

If you look up Taskmaster NZS s2 you can't go wrong there you go there it is and is there a tweet or some other work of social media you've been enjoying i it's yeah there is actually it's from a sydney comic i'm friends with a guy called tom cashman published a venn diagram recently which was two circles as Venn diagrams so often are. One of them was a circle that said apocalypse. And the other one was a circle that said having to go to work. And then the circles

overlapped a little bit in the middle. And there was a tiny arrow pointing to that part that said, somehow we ended up here. Yeah, you should have known.
