Starting point is 00:04:55 I'll say. Yes. I guess the real question is, what doesn't this person do? This person has been in, I would say, pretty much any TV show of consequence over the last, you know, in the modern era. I can I can say that pretty confidently because every time I watch them, I'm like, wait, hold on. And I text her and she's like, oh, yeah, that's me. We know she's also a fantastic comedian. She's also a wonderful host.

I would watch it, too. I would not be mad at it. I would watch it. I haven't seen New Housewives of New Jersey in a minute, but Teresa, is she still Giudice?
Starting point is 00:06:23 Or does she have like a maiden name? She's still Giudice, or does she have a maiden name? She's still Giudice, but she just got married. She got married to a gentleman. I don't know. I would bet our Queen Anna would know. I bet she has a new name, but for now she's always going to be Teresa Giudice to me. Yeah, and also, am I
Starting point is 00:06:39 extending too much respect for the Italian language by calling her Giudice? I used to say giudice and then i i every time i i could be wrong i used to say giudice i feel like someone said it on the show like properly i know they always said judice like joe judice or whatever but then i heard someone say giudice or whatever and i was like okay i fuck with that i've heard joe judice it i always feel like i'm saying it wrong either way i want want to say Giudice, but I think it's because of Joe Giudice. It's Giudice.
Starting point is 00:07:08 I think it's Giudice. Well, I mean, but that's a very like Ellis Island way of pronouncing an Italian name. Like, what is that? Giudice? There you go. Anthony DiCe Clay. You know what I mean? Yeah, you're right.
Starting point is 00:07:19 You're right. I mean, that happened to my friend who was growing up. Her last name, she was, her mom's name was Tammy Tamagini. And then like in her 20s, she was like, it's Tamagini. You know what I mean, that happened to my friend who was growing up. Her last name, she was, her mom's name was Tammy Tamagini. And then, like, in her 20s, she was like, it's Tamagini. You know what I mean? Oh, right, right, right. It's not Tamagini. It's Tamagini.
Starting point is 00:07:32 Like, it got, you know. I mean, listen, I'll say this, man. You know, we be out here mispronouncing names all the time. My name gets mispronounced.

Starting point is 00:09:42 some white guy even when i was on bad tv every summer because i was an official second city or i wasn't a groundling or whatever like i would still go take fucking classes every summer at ucb or groundlings somehow that like in my brain just to prove i was enough and at a certain point i'm like bitch you got the job and all these like you got it there's like eight sketch there's eight there's like for like ladies there was like six jobs in america you got one of them like when is it enough when like so you're not officially that like just trust that what you're doing is enough so miles you're an amazing improviser i am enough who cares i am you're gonna come play with us okay we're gonna come play with

Here's what's fun about it too, because we're not, you don't, literally don don't even a lot of our listeners don't even watch the bachelor like it's sort of like a loose frame for like comedians to go play with each other and real and real housewives to go play with each other and you we're not even in season you cannot possibly even be behind it's a fun comedy show it's at 7 p.m. It's in New York. So you can just go. It's like 20 bucks. You can still have your thing.
Starting point is 00:12:05 But Jacquees has agreed. Jacquees has agreed to let us. We're going to treat him like The Bachelor. Oh, he's going to? Yes. And he's going to hand out roses, a first impression rose. I love that format. We're going to bring some gals up from the audience.

And we're going to let Margaret Jo and Michelle're going to let Margaret, Joe, and Michelle Collins pick who they think the best lady is. And then ultimately, they can be the hometowns, like his family. But we're going to pick a gal for Jacques on stage. And then we're going to have a drink. And then we're going to have a drink together.
Starting point is 00:12:39 Hey, New York gal them, you heard the news. You could have a drink with Jacques Easton Neal. If you play, if you know how to play the bachelor game, right. And you do let me set the rose. Oh, go to rose pod. Vodka. Yeah. To get your tickets.
Starting point is 00:12:53 Rose podcast. Dot vodka. Cause we have, because literally we built the whole website.com and then this website company that might be a sponsor of your show. So I'm not going to trash them, but they were like, oh, we didn't secure it. We got rosepodcast.com. They're like, we didn't secure it, but rosepodcast.vodka is available. And we were like, why didn't you lead with that? We would have bought that immediately. Well, before we get into more vodka talk, let's tell people what we are talking about on the show. First up, good news in Wisconsin
Starting point is 00:13:23 because extremism took another L in their Supreme Court race. So we'll talk about that. Then we'll take it over to the wonderful Windy City of Chicago where they just had their mayoral election. And Brandon Johnson pulled one out against the beloved pick of the wealthy, Mr. Paul Vyas. So we'll talk about that race and why. Remember that nigga. Wow, we're smiling about that. But also we'll have to talk about Kid Rock freaking out about Bud Light because that's the latest conservative freakout where they don't understand that if you want to boycott something, don't buy the fucking product to destroy it, you absolute melt. Anyway, that's what we're going to talk about before we get into all that. I got to ask you, Arden, what's something from your search history that's revealing about who you are? Thank you so much for asking. I was actually with Anna last night, and I pulled up my last day history. And we feel like this really kind of just summed it up for me. I had typed into my Google search history, who is, I don't even think I'm saying his name right. Who is Gerard Piquet's new girlfriend? Oh, Gerard Piquet.
Starting point is 00:14:26 Yes. Shakira's ex-husband. Shakira's ex-husband. I googled who is his new girlfriend. Who did he cheat with on Shakira? How is Shakira not enough? I don't know. Have you heard? You saw the latest thing about how his dad is evicting her and the two kids from their house in Barcelona?
Starting point is 00:14:50 No. I didn't know that no his dad joan pk is like y'all need to get the fuck out of this house and she's like and she left to i think what's in miami well i knew she left and i knew she thanked the people of like frolicking in the sea and da da da da and then i knew she took the it was like those are your grandchildren yeah i know. That's how, that's how much he went with the son. He's like, I don't care if he cheated on you. Like y'all, y'all are addicted. And so the new girlfriend went and screamed at a reporter on air. Did you see that? She was like, she like busted into an interview and like screamed at a reporter on air.
Starting point is 00:15:18 Sort of like a, don't you know who I am situation. It was pretty exciting. So that was a search. That just shows you the kind of heavy hitting things that I look up late at night this is the news news this is the news absolutely her hips don't lie her hips don't lie her husband does you know her husband does absolutely uh what is something you think is overrated thank you so much for asking i think going to bed early is overrated i get it i know yeah i just feel like it's fun at night. I feel genetically I'm happier at night.

Starting point is 00:15:56 Like, I don't want to go to bed. Right. I'm a night owl. I'm a night owl. I hate the morning. Me too. So look, when you come to this show in New York at 7 p.m. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:16:06 I'm going to be at prime energy, baby. Oh yeah. Y'all think I got energy. Now let me tell y'all, we record this shit at 1130 in the morning. Yeah. All right. I'm tired as fuck right now. Me too.
Starting point is 00:16:20 But if we record this shit at 7 p.m., it'd be just like I just got a good night's sleep. I was just waking up. I wanted to start my whole day. You know, and Jacques and I, we're both two night owls. We've never hung out at night. We like each other. I'm just going to say, I like Jacques.
Starting point is 00:16:36 I'll speak for myself. I like Arden. And we're just going to be playing that Houdini album on blast. The freaks come out at night. The freaks come out at night. Thataks come out at night that's y'all hell yeah that is what we're gonna be playing that is what we're gonna come out at night that's that's that in mysticals and we're gonna play that and then we're gonna also play mystical's danger yeah that's exactly what we're gonna play you know mystical these days you know he's been

I just said we were going to play Mystical. And on stage, Mystical. No, no, no, no. It's going to be so fun. Literally, I cannot wait to treat you like the royalty that you are. You should be the Bachelor. I cannot wait.
Starting point is 00:17:19 Because you know what? New York City, they've got some hot girls. They've got cool, like, all different. Like, they've got artsy girls. They've got kind of like, all different, like, they've got artsy girls. They've got kind of, like, put-together business gals. Yeah. Fashion. Fashion.
Starting point is 00:17:30 Fashion. You've got, like, you know, like, somebody in a band. Like, I cannot wait to see who's showing up. I don't care if you watch The Bats or not. Come to get a chance. We're going to do a proper, like, little, we're going to go, we might do a pheromone test. Where we blindfold and he smells and he's like
Starting point is 00:17:48 who does he chemically react to? That's fun. Oh my gosh, let's please do that. I would like to do that. I love smelly people. Yeah, what's your favorite perfume? Me? That way you confuse them. Yeah, what's your favorite perfume? What's a real scent you like? What should people doubt themselves in? I'm going to
Starting point is 00:18:03 tell you, I'm going gonna be real with you. I only know smells by girls' names. Oh, you smell like so-and-so. I don't ever know the perfume. What about a vibe? You like an oaky, wimpy, rusty floral?
Starting point is 00:18:20 Like a little flowery. You like floral. A little flowery, floral. Just like a little floral, fresh. Like a fresh flowery. Like floral. A little flowery, floral. Nice. Just like a little floral fresh, like a fresh summer flower. Like a light fresh. I cannot wait to blindfold you and have you smell the women of York City with consent for everybody. Yeah, absolutely. Oh, man.
Starting point is 00:18:37 So fun. Cannot wait. We'll have roses to hand out. I remember like as a true millennial, I remember when Angel was the perfume and everyone was like, oh my God, Angel. But now, you know, I don't even know. I don't know the names of them either. Yeah. If you want to see how basic I am, if anybody come out with some love spell.
Starting point is 00:18:56 Oh my God. I hope somebody shows up with love spell. That would make our lives would be complete if women just come. Because Bell House has a really high ceiling. If Bell House just reeks of love spell, we will know New York City is horny for a jockey. I love it. If you come for the love spell or Bath and Body Works, Country Apple Splash. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:19:17 Here for it. Warm vanilla sugar, as I say. What is something you think is underrated, Arden? Thank you so much for asking. I feel like being a good party host is underrated. Like there's an, I take throwing a party seriously. I know this. I'll say this before you go.
Starting point is 00:19:33 I will underscore, underline, cosign. I think anybody who has been to Arden's house for a party will say, yeah, you don't fuck around when you host a party. So I will give you that honor right now. I say, yes, I agree with wherever you're going. I just want to let the audience know this is not a lie. I throw a kick-ass party. She does. I throw one a year.
Starting point is 00:19:52 Here's the thing. I actually had a therapist back in the day who helped me. She was like, look, bitch, nobody, at the end of the day, you got to be a relaxed host. So the second the first guest shows up, you're done. And you got to be a guest at your own party. And just trust that people are adults. And that, so I literally, I also don't believe, to me, I'm not a bartender gal.
Starting point is 00:20:13 I like an elegant, elevated house party. I put out all the alcohol anybody could want. So whether you're sober and trying to hide that you're sober, you want to make a little seltzer water with some bitters or whatever. Or if you're like, I'm going to drink all the alcohol in Los Angeles, I don't care. I don't give a shit. Have at it.
Starting point is 00:20:33 Do you, yeah. You have some great tacos at your party. You've got to have great snacks. Oh, guisados. Excuse me. It's always guisados, yeah. Let's not fuck around. I know, I'm like, man, I'm here for the guisados. Guisados. Then me. It's always guisados, yeah. Let's not fuck around. I know. I'm like, man, I'm here for the guisados. Guisados. Then I also have to say, it's got to look gorgeous.
Starting point is 00:20:49 And again, it can even just be from Trader Joe's flowers. Most of my flowers are like, make it look beautiful. Hide anything you don't want stolen or broken. You hide it. And then after that, break or steal whatever you want in my house. I don't care. I didn't know that. I don't care.
Starting point is 00:21:03 Okay, good to know. I'll be like, okay, if it's not hidden, it's up for grabs. I don't care. Literally have that. You got a nice TV, Artie. You got a nice TV on that. Take it. I literally don't give a shit.
Starting point is 00:21:12 Take it. I like your art, homie. If it's not locked away with the cats, take it. I don't give a shit. Then you need a little area. So like we got some shy guys. They can go like, I put a little smoker section outside i like i will leave like i don't give a shit if you want to smoke everything don't judge them
Starting point is 00:21:29 they're in the smoking section you know and then i hire a dj and i clear out my living room and you don't have to dance there's just different things to find you gotta everybody needs an activity but also let the shy people go hide in the corner if they want. Like leave your guests alone. They're adults. They can do whatever they want. Don't worry about them. And just let them have at it. Yeah. And like I always say in end time, even though it's not really an end time, but I say it to make people actually feel like they got to come.
Starting point is 00:21:55 You know what I mean? It's like, okay, it ends at 11. Oh, yeah. Not really. It ends at like 2. I say like 7 to 11 so that people actually show up by like 1030. Right, right, right. That's it. I love these tips.
Starting point is 00:22:06 Yeah. As someone who had a wedding in the last year, that was the best advice I got. Cause I'm very much like a people pleaser type personality. And they were like, I was like, man, I'm so fucking stressed.
Starting point is 00:22:16 And I remember like my cousin-in-law or whatever was like, man, you gotta like, you need to be a guest at this shit. Don't be a, like you need to stop being a host. You need to be a guest right now. And Don't be a, like, you need to stop being a host. You need to be a guest right now. And that little sentence completely flipped the switch in my brain.
Starting point is 00:22:29 And I was basically out of my wedding suit and in a, you know, shorts and a jersey within 10 minutes. Because it's also like if you're so worried about, because I get so anxious if somebody doesn't know someone, like, are they going to be okay? And just trusting that, like, they're adults. They've all been to parties. There's enough little things that they can keep it moving. And, like, you know, I try not to have assholes in my life. So, like, anybody they talk to is going to be fun and cool. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:22:55 Yeah. See, you know you're taking care of that. I love this. I love this. I love this. I love this. I love this. I love this.

Starting point is 00:23:06 Thank you. Confirmed here. Oh, by the way, I also leave flowers for all my neighbors in a note, and I warn them in advance. It's going to be loud. That's smart. I kind of free. I sort of, I guess I'm like, I don't leave my number for them to text me to shut it up, but I leave them like, again, just Trader Joe's roses at six bucks. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:25 I like how you put, here's some flowers. too yeah because yeah r.i.p to your sense of tranquility but here are the flowers just so you know please don't bother me all right let's take a quick break and we'll be right back to talk about some news right after this 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.
Starting point is 00:24:16 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.
Starting point is 00:24:37 Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Some people won't give you the real talk on drugs, but it's time we know the facts. Fentanyl is often laced into illicit drugs and used to make fake versions of prescription pills. You can't see it, taste it, or smell it. Suppliers mix fentanyl into their products because it's potent and cheap,
Starting point is 00:25:01 and the dealer might not even know. Keep yourself and others safe by knowing the real deal on fentanyl. Get the facts. Go to realdealonfentanyl.com. This message is brought to you by the Ad Council. Hey, fam. I'm Simone Boyce. I'm Danielle Robay.
Starting point is 00:25:17 And we're the hosts of The Bright Side, the daily podcast from Hello Sunshine that is guaranteed to light up your day. Every weekday, we bring you conversations with the culture makers who inspire us. Like a recent episode with Latin Grammy winner, podcast host and TV personality Chiquis about making a name for herself as the eldest daughter of beloved singer Jenny Rivera. I'm not afraid. And I think that that's why I've been able to kind of do my own thing and not necessarily stay in my mom's shadow, because I'm not afraid of stepping out of my comfort zone and shaking things up a little bit, because that's the only way I feel that you're going to make history. Listen to The Bright Side from Hello Sunshine on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. and we're back and extremism has taken another loss in the state of wisconsin judge janet protasewick i believe that's how we her name, but forgive me if I mispronounced it, won her state Supreme Court election. And basically now the state Supreme Court in Wisconsin has a four to three liberal majority, which is very good news, especially if you're somebody who values things like reproductive rights or voting rights, because Wisconsin has been gerrymandered to shit.
Starting point is 00:26:46 or voting rights because Wisconsin has been gerrymandered to shit. And with the hit job that the state legislature did to ensure that the democratic governor, Tony Evers had limited power, the shift in the Supreme court is a substantial first step at addressing these issues. So that's a very, very good sign. Uh, you know, just to give people some perspective, the state currently has like a pre-civil war abortion ban like on their books like 173 years old law and then they tried three weeks ago to switch it up to make it seem like not completely fucked up and inhumane and a bill that was written in 1849 whoa yeah yeah we can make uh exceptions for like rape incest or the health of the mother. And so maybe you guys don't need to pay attention to the Supreme Court race so much because, you know, we're, we're less vile. Turns out the people of Wisconsin were not fooled and they came out in
Starting point is 00:27:36 full force and $40 million was spent on this race. $40 million on a state Supreme Court race. That's about eight episodes of friends worth of actor pay to put in perspective. Okay. If they were making a million episode, the five of them or whatever. How many of them were there?
Starting point is 00:27:56 Oh, six. Yeah, yeah. Okay, my math is fucked up. Look, for inflation, we'll just, we'll call it what it is. But yeah, that's the amount of money. So thanks to a solid turnout from young people and other residents that fully understood the stakes here. The Republican freak of the week, Dan Kelly, got smashed.
Starting point is 00:28:12 And even better news, he lost in every single swing district. So, you know, good news for people. Wow. That's amazing. Yeah. Yeah. Good job, Wisconsin. Yeah. I mean, I think it's probably, you know, having zero compassion for human beings that may need medical care is not that appealing of a platform. Yeah. You think?
Starting point is 00:28:33 Yeah, I don't know. Generally not. Yeah, generally not great. Generally not. Not great. I mean, yeah. So we'll see what, you know, how this all plays out. But it sounds like, you know, the Supreme Court is set to hear an abortion case this month or later this
Starting point is 00:28:46 month. So having that new majority, it was a very, very good sign. And hopefully we'll also can address these electoral maps because, you know, there's places, places like Sheboygan where it's liberal,
Starting point is 00:28:57 but they've carved that map up that basically says y'all are never going to find, get a Democrat in here. Cause we carved that map the fuck up. Yeah. I mean, it's a beautiful thing to see in all these cities and states when there is a candidate that is progressive or an idea or an issue, I should say, not an idea that is progressive or left or whatever you want to call it.
Starting point is 00:29:24 I'd say in this case these should be censored issues but yeah yeah yes yeah but something that's not out saying and yeah out saying insane and outlandish yeah it's very is is nice to see you know we're going to talk about chicago soon it's nice to see these people win and these issues like win and actually come out on top and you know i it gives me some hope for the future that a little bit yeah we just need the right people you need the right people and with the turnout and against all that cash you know what i mean that it's still like that the right thing one is it feels it's is, you know, it's nice to have a little hope somewhere. The Republicans are doing a terrible job of just understanding where people are at because they're just so fixed on like, we got to preserve this like, you know, Christian ethno-nationalist state.
Starting point is 00:30:18 And that's what we're going to keep selling people. But there's only a limited supply of those people that you're going to appeal to. So by going all in on this shit is not great at all yeah and anyway her opponent and also civil war ghost uh dan kelly had this to say as he you know conceded the race although i will warn you what he's about to say is very classy and upstanding. Oh my God. And it brings me no joy to say this. I wish that in a circumstance like this, I would be able to concede to a worthy opponent. Wow.
Starting point is 00:30:56 But I do not have a worthy opponent to which I can concede. This was the most deeply deceitful, dishonorable, despicable campaign I have ever seen run on the courts. Drink up these tears. Drink them up. Straight to the head. It was truly beneath contempt. Oh! Yeah. Now, I say this not because we did not prevail.
Starting point is 00:31:24 Oh, really? I say this because of the rancid slanders that were launched against me. Okay. And by that, they mean, you know, just quoting you and, you know, just taking it and doing an analysis of what your values are as a candidate. But anyway, go off Daniel Kelly and ride off into the sunset. Here's the thing. Here's the thing about that. He's trash.
Starting point is 00:31:44 Let's get that out's the thing about that he's trash let's get that out the way sure but you know i appreciate i because listen we live in a world where in certain areas where you got to be diplomatic because that's what's expected of you i would be all for somebody to be like you know what man fuck that nigga i hate his ass i'm mad he won i wanted this shit he sucks yeah he won i can see i lost but fuck him fuck him and you know what i would i can't even be mad at that i mean there's a difference yeah it's it'd be i guess you could be like yeah fine be petty but also when someone's just like going like the smears like now you're lying and your version is just a transparently sore loser which most people can identify with
Starting point is 00:32:31 because we've all been children at one point yes and you're like i don't like that this happened and people be like yeah maybe you shouldn't be deciding if people get health care but you know it is what it is i think i think people saw and were like, holy shit. Glad that wasn't the person that is in office. Exactly. At all. Sore losers are thrilling. A sore loser is a thrilling thing to witness. Especially like that.
Starting point is 00:32:53 I saw a sore loser this season on The Bachelor when Christina Mandrell, when she was like, I wanted that rose. You know, like when her friends got the rose. And I loved it. I did too because she was everybody wanted it and she's the first person in history just to say i'm why that that rose should have been my rose like for no reason other just being a sore loser i was like kind of here for her sore loser her open not trying to like fake nice like she was just pouting and i was here for it right yeah and i'll tell you this and miles you'll you'll get this arden i'm not i mean i don't know if we've never talked about sports so i don't know if you're a sports fan or
Starting point is 00:33:28 not but miles i know you are you'll get this there is nothing that feels better when you won than a sore motherfucking oh yeah tell me why tell me everything because it just because it just makes the wind feel that much sweeter yeah Yeah, they're basically telling you, they're like, you're so good and I fucking suck is the subtext. That's why I love that Angel Reese shit and Caitlin Clark. I love it. She hit her with that and then every sore loser came out. They're like, no, she stole from Tony Ayo, not John Cena. Anyway, that's a whole other debate.
Starting point is 00:34:01 But yeah. No, no, that makes me feel good. I like that. I like that. Because you do feel i like that i like that you because you do feel that like oh you are vanquished because if you weren't truly the vanquished you would not go this far to express your pain and that's and i will drink up those tears gladly that's fun i like that anyway let's move on to the city of chicago again just good news again two democrats went head to head to take over the office that the first openly gay and black woman, Lori Lightfoot, held as the mayor of Chicago. And there's Paul, I don't know if it's Valles or Vallis, you know, I'm in LA, you know, I see the much malice in his heart because he was absolutely adored.
Starting point is 00:34:46 Mr. Paul Vallis was adored by the police. They loved his take on what he believed Chicago is or was, is that Chicago is a criminal hellscape. And the only way through this is if we have nine million more cops on the streets and nine billion more dollars to pay them overtime as they wish. He even got the cosign of the Fraternal Order of Police, the leader of which is fucking pro-insurrection. So the pro-insurrectionist police Fraternal Order of Police guy was like, we back Paul Vallis because he gets it. On the other side yeah brandon johnson he's a black man he's a former social studies teacher and his endorsement comes from the teachers union which i think i'll take that over the police every fucking day yes
Starting point is 00:35:37 but he is not so into the idea of giving cops money in fact he wants to now his opponent tried to be like he said defund the police which which look, whatever. Yeah, go ahead. But Brandon Johnson, he played it smart. He's like, no, I never said that. I just said, we need to reevaluate the budgets and figure out if we're spending this money correctly. And I liked the tack that he took. Cause he's like, man, police are doing too much. You know, we gotta, we gotta, we gotta help them out by giving them less money so we can put it into social services. And I like the subtext of what he was saying anyway. So he wants to give them less money so he can, again, you know, actually fund social programs and things that actually have like a tangible effect on crime and things like that. And also, obviously, more money for schools, transportation, etc.
Starting point is 00:36:20 He also wanted to tax the airlines, yikes, the wealthy, and the suburbs. Because as he puts it, you have too many people using the infrastructure of Chicago to make these super high wages that then leave the city where they go back to their wealthy suburbs that are already properly financed through taxes. So they're like, I don't know, we need to figure this all out. like financed through taxes. So they're like saying, I don't know. We need to figure this all out because you can't, you can't just be tape bleeding all this money out of the city when it really should be going back into the city.
Starting point is 00:36:50 So a lot of people in the, initially when it was the, when Lori Lightfoot lost her reelection bid, he was down 15 points against Valis and the polling did not look like it was in his favor. My man pulled it out. Wow. Pulled it out.
Starting point is 00:37:04 It's a beautiful thing, man. Now listen, I will preface what I'm going to say with I have not lived in Chicago since 2012. So almost 11 years now. And there are people who are on the ground who know more about the Chicago politics and scenes than I do right now, just because I, that's not my home anymore, but I still care about it deeply. I still have family there. I still love my city.
Starting point is 00:37:32 I remember Paul Vallis from when I was a kid. He was a C, his name was on every CP, Chicago public schools, letterhead. It was on every school, like it's a, it's name recognition, baby. So like, that was a thing you know like all my my grandparents uh my aunts all my old ass cousins they was like oh paul vellis oh yeah we're we know that name right because we sent our kids to chicago public school cps and and you know it's kind of like for those who live in la uh may know this it was kind of of like the Rick Caruso thing where it was just name recognition. Right. But this motherfucker is not really a Democrat. You know, not in the same way that we would associate with that, especially nowadays.
Starting point is 00:38:13 Yeah. This is the second black male president, president, mayor that Chicago's has since Harold Washington, which is a very big name in Chicago and Black culture. We loved Harold Washington. And I'm very happy for Brandon Johnson. I think it's a beautiful thing. I'm happy for his issues, where he stands. I'm happy that another Black person is in that. I'm happy that for the first time that I know of, maybe some nerd knows more than I do in Chicago but for the first time that I know of this is the first black to black mayor that we've ever had in Chicago it's a great thing it's a beautiful thing I'm so excited for that city because it's still home I still love it it's still in my heart I still would live in Chicago at some point in my life from May till like September but like here's one thing that I want to say.
Starting point is 00:39:07 Here's one thing that I want to say to for Brandon Johnson and his supporters and where we are. And this is a larger issue. So if you're not in Chicago, I think this is relevant to you as well. If you are on the progressive side or, you know, you fight for progress. The thing about progress is it is always progressing right so like so what that means is that and and this happens a lot with black people this happens a lot with black progressives because you know we still live in a very white world you have to allow progressives the space to still progress
Starting point is 00:39:47 right which means that if in a year from now because we are progressing our ideas and our issues progress and change that we know we don't now say brandon johnson ain't doing shit all right because then that's the issue we run into where you're like, all right, well, let this man actually. And people don't let black people grow. People don't let black politicians grow. People turn on black politicians way quicker than they turn on white politicians. And when I say people, I mean all you motherfucking leftists and progressives and everybody in which I consider myself one as well. Right. Y'all turn on black people and people
Starting point is 00:40:25 of color way quicker than you turn on other motherfuckers. And if you don't believe that, look inside yourself because you full of shit. But like, we got to allow this man to actually do the job. And we got to allow this man space to fail. And we got to allow this man space to grow. And we got to allow this man space to progress as we progress. And we got to allow this man space to grow and we got to allow this man space to progress as we progress and we got to allow this man the grace to know like we may not agree with him on every issue but that's okay because he is fighting in the interest of the people of chicago for the better of chicago and as long as we remember that and we allow this man the space to do his job and we keep him honest i'm not saying
Starting point is 00:41:05 we don't ever criticize the dude or you don't ever criticize him i'm not saying that i'm just saying don't in two years from now be like this motherfucker ain't even progressive unless he proves not to be right unless suddenly he's like yeah up those police budgets then you're like yeah let's see yeah like a lot of these conversations are nuanced right so if you're taking out all this in black and white that's's your problem. But like, I want to make sure that, you know, the people of Chicago who voted for this dude, especially if you're a white person, you don't have a short fuse for what this man is trying to accomplish in this city, because I do believe he's going to do some great. I do believe that in the name of Harold Washington, he may be the next great mayor. And now that we don't have the daily machine to, you know, come back into Chicago, this could be truly the start of a beautiful era in the city where we have something to be proud of with our politicians or at least
Starting point is 00:42:06 our top politicians so i'm happy for the dude i wish him nothing but the best i love my city i'm proud of y'all and godspeed to brandon johnson in chicago man i mean well said i mean he he himself said even in his speech as he you know he was you know patting himself on the back he's like look if you didn't vote for me he's like i want you to know he's like i give on the back. He's like, look, if you didn't vote for me, he's like, I want you to know, he's like, I give a fuck about you. He's like, because the way I look at it is that this is something that affects every Chicagoan. And as mayor, that's what I'm trying to do is make things better and safer for people there. And yeah, you got to let people cook at a certain point. Sometimes, you know, some people do reveal themselves all too often to be progressive on the campaign trail, then they fucking swear in and then they're like right back to the bullshit.
Starting point is 00:42:48 But I mean, I think for how, you know, sort of direct he was during the campaign, he wasn't speaking like someone who was always quite triangulating. And, you know, maybe he was. But from the few things I saw, I saw someone who seemed pretty sincere. And yeah, despite, again, like, you know, his platform of saying less cop money and tax the wealthy you know the like the polls reflected this feeling at first where people were like i don't know yeah there were a lot of wealthy people like okay we're all in for valis and he still pulled it off despite valis being flush with cash great news and also too what is even better is that guy from the fraternal order of police Police of Chicago was like, if you fucking elect Brandon Johnson.
Starting point is 00:43:28 Yeah. You are going to have a mass exodus of like a thousand, eight hundred to a thousand officers are going to fucking leave if you if you guys elect this guy. Yeah. Yeah. And then Chicago said, hold my beer and my ketchup hot dog. OK, because we did it. Those are the motherfuckers we don't want. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:48 If anybody's going to leave, those are the people we don't want. Peace out. Anyway, so, yeah. Sorry, I didn't mean to cut you off, Hardy. No, no. Just even what you were saying. One of my good friends has been in public office in a very liberal city. And she's a very progressive person and is kind
Starting point is 00:44:05 of a high level and it's just even allowing people the grace of like the time of like there's a lot of things she wants to do that just the mechanics of what the machine is it's like you still have to like go through this like it's still hard to get like what she wants to do and like the mechanics of actually executing it are like, it's still, you're still dealing with an infrastructure of like having to kind of like to get like work with people that are already there to get it going. You know, so upending the status quo is not easy at all. And I think that's why most people find themselves in a position where they're up against the status quo and realize how difficult it is and then end up kind of folding so hey keep your heads up uh and hopefully we will see you know some some good things come out of that the one one last thing i'll say to that to to that point is be happy and celebrate and definitely you know clap your hands for when he does things that you want him
Starting point is 00:45:09 to do. But in the times when you realize it's a little harder, in the times you realize like, man, he may not be able to get shit through, that's when you need to champion him more and be like, no, we support what he's trying to do and anybody who isn't letting him get through whether it's alderman or you know state senator or whatever take the motherfuckers out of office yeah like surround them surround them with people who are going to be on the same path as him yeah right we're trying to do that we're trying to do that in la and it's very difficult especially when you have people like kevin de leon who are like i'm not resigning even though you heard me be racist as shit on wax yeah okay not gonna happen anyway oh jackie's you've just been
Starting point is 00:45:53 announced as the deputy mayor of chicago i would vote for you i knew something was going on behind the scenes you know who i would be i would be like I would be like Bernie Mac when he was the vice president of Head of State. And they was like, so are you worried about Chris Rock's safety as the first black president? He was like, no, no. Because if they kill him, then I'm going to be your president. All right. We're going to take a quick break. All right. We're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back to talk about some some fucking really effective protests from Kid Rock.
Starting point is 00:46:32 We're going to take a quick break. We'll be right back. This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts, separated by two months.

Listen to the bright side from Hello Sunshine on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. and we're back and so is conservative outrage uh or just idiotic outrage at this point it's just wild to think that anyone is complaining about bud light for any other reason aside from it's just you know it's it's a swill water you know bud light is not beer like i fuck with a bud light but it's because it's the easiest form of a fizzy drink that has a little bit of alcohol in it. I'm never like, that's a beer. I need a beer. I said, I need to make, yeah, throw me a Bud Light. Anyway,
Starting point is 00:49:34 but here we are. The outrage has continued. The company recently partnered with a trans TikTok influencer named Dylan Mulvaney. And you can only guess what happened. The transphobes just came out in full force on social media. But the worst reaction of them all had to come from Mr. Kiddith Rock or Kid Rock, as you know him. He did a really cool, I guess he made a viral video. Really just he was outraged. So you know what he did? He got his fucking machine gun out and he got a bunch
Starting point is 00:50:06 of cases of bud light while wearing a maga hat oh my gosh fucking you know just fucking ripped through these cases of bud light and basically this image of kid rock with like an assault rifle backwards maga hat shooting at beer cans looks like if you're like hey siri show me a picture of america because that's pretty much the image i think it would pull up is this nonsense so the video caused everyone was like man this is fucking stupid you know like people like a father of a parkland victim was just like hey this is fucking really stupid and it's just not even clever and you're just you know you're just contributing to more gun humping culture this is fucked and he ended it with fuck you
Starting point is 00:50:44 in his tweet. To even people who rightly pointed out that like I said at the top of the show, if you're buying a product, even to fucking machine gun it the fuck up, you're still kind of doing the opposite of a boycott because you have given Anheuser-Busch your money.
Starting point is 00:50:59 Because this is something they still haven't quite figured out because they're just like, I need to destroy this thing in effigy. And that is how I bet now you have learned. And again, most other people point out, they're like, have you just been looking at Bud Light shit recently? Because they have been doing pride based advertising since like the 1990s. Yeah. But again, you know, I'm not sure. Maybe sure maybe he was you know fucking up some empty bottles
Starting point is 00:51:28 since the 90s but i have no idea and again you know they've been doing some kind of lgbtq plus positive promotion you know like every few years but it's weird because the cycle is the same like they do a promotion the people get fucking outraged and then they forget about it after presumably having like 12 to 15 Bud Lights. And then we repeat this cycle. It's yeah, it's it always cracks me up when. It is very clear, like whenever like, you know, people on the left or voters on the left protest or say we're not going to do anything. We straight up just don't
Starting point is 00:52:09 consume or give our money to it. Whenever people on the right say they go out and buy the shit. And it's just like, what are you doing? You're still buying it, bruh. It makes no sense to me. Democrats who do this thing, they would be like, I'm boycotting Amazon
Starting point is 00:52:25 and still be getting primed. They just burn the prime box so nobody sees it. And then Republicans are like, I'm boycotting this by buying a ton of it. It's wild. Then some people are actually principled, but it is so funny how this version is always like, even when it's like, with
Starting point is 00:52:41 Keurig or Nike, they're like, I just bought these Nike socks. But after hearing that they're with Kaepernick, they're going in the fire. You're like, if you really want to fuck them up, buy them secondhand. You know? But anyway, that's... It's literally also like, how much time do you have on your hands? Do you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:52:59 You've got this much free time. You're going out of the way to buy the thing you're angry about. Just, you know, there's never any live and let live at all. Like, like what, what are you doing? What are you doing? It's just like, you know, this is the caveman brain of being like, I'm angry at this. And the only way I know how to express my displeasure is to physically destroy it. Like, there's nothing else like you know we should be doing is a pressure campaign on the bottling cup like there's no if that's not a
Starting point is 00:53:29 real fucking boy that's the thing is it's not really based in real outrage that would motivate someone to you know actually change their consumer choices it's just like i'm gonna shoot that fucking thing it's wild that's where it And unfortunately, that form of expression in this country is all too common. But again, like just last year in Canada, Bud Light had a Bud Light camp that was like a very, you know, LGBTQ plus friendly like event that was meant to be like this whole summer camp that was like an ally focused adult camp that had like, you know, beach parties and drag brunches and things like that. Crickets. They didn't they fucking they didn't see that part before that they had a commercial all about gay marriage which wow did prompt some weird tweets from some chill bros who didn't want to hear seth rogan talk about how bud light was
Starting point is 00:54:16 down with gay marriage but i mean okay so again some of these efforts too have been pretty bad too i'm not here to pat anheuser-Busch on the back by any fucking means. In 2019, they had a rainbow-colored bottle, and they were slammed for this campaign. Alongside this rainbow-colored bottle, it said LGBTQ, and it said, Let's grab beers tonight, Queens. No, no, no. I'm sorry absolutely not let's grab beers tonight queens was sometimes i wish sometimes i wish more of the world was weren't like comedians because
Starting point is 00:54:56 that shit is hysterical they also okayed that they were like like, they ran it through test groups. They're like, yeah, let's go with that. That's cool, right? No, you know what they did? We present as cool, right? It was probably a bunch of cishet dudes who were in those marketing meetings. It's the same way like when you get like, you know, Juneteenth, like marketing where you're like, a black person had nothing to do with this advertising or this campaign somehow.
Starting point is 00:55:21 And it's just, let's grab beer tonight. Hey, dude, you know what else could stand for? Dude, let's grab beer tonight hey dude you know what else could stand for dude let's grab beers tonight queens oh fuck yeah rob put that down put that on every bus stop in the west let's grab beers tonight queens that sounds so natural that's exactly that's exactly what yeah like what what are you talking about it feels like i don't think i don't think there's any i don't think there's any lesbian or or anybody in lgbtq that has ever said let's grab beers tonight queen what happened is you're taking like like cishet dude culture and then just throwing queens on it to make it at the end be like hey let's grab beers tonight queens i cannot we're slaying bruh we're slaying yeah we're gonna go get that mad puss
Starting point is 00:56:10 tonight queen yeah dude yes queen hell yeah anyway so then there were like ads in the early 90s which could have been groundbreaking where they featured like faceless like gay men we just see two arms from behind and despite some claims they weren't part of a mainstream ad campaign, but rather like printed, as they say, quote, only in the lesbian and gay print press. So not always the bravest, but like recently Bud Light's parent company, Anheuser-Busch was like the subject
Starting point is 00:56:37 of also Pride Weekend protests. Like when the Stonewall Inn announced they're going to be dumping their Bud Light and Stella reserves to call attention to the fact that Anheuser-Busch donates to anti LGBTQ politicians. So, kid, my man, they're doing the actual functional work of funding the fucking ghouls and goblins that are that have the votes to further dehumanize this community. But, yeah, let's get mad at their collaborations with you know tiktok influencers and then you know the donations like obviously they're still doing harm today they include politicians like tennessee's mike bell who introduced the bill that teachers are quote not required to use a student's preferred pronoun when referring to that student if the preferred
Starting point is 00:57:19 pronoun is not consistent with the student's biological sex. They're backing that guy. So y'all are on the same team. What's really funny though, too, is like for all the outrage, you see a lot of these like outraged fucking homophobes on like on social media being like, that's it, man. I'm not drinking that anymore. I'm drinking Corona now or like whatever. Like, you know what? That's why I like my german beer like you know fucking grolsch or i drink peroni the italian beer or whatever i'm doing ipas guess what assholes most
Starting point is 00:57:52 of the fucking like beers that these people were saying they were switching to are owned by anheuser bush in bev here's the thing about capitalism i outraged people on the right, you don't have a choice a lot of the time. You may think there are these different brands, like Quilmes, or Foster's, or Corona, or Stella, or Hoogarden, or Lef, or Spotten, or Gross, or Bass, or Modelo, or Kona, Red Hook. All of these fucking beers are owned by Anheuser-Busch. That's wild. So you really got to do some research, folks,
Starting point is 00:58:28 if you're really trying to keep the money out of their pockets. Yeah. I must be so rich. That's crazy. Which is why I don't boycott shit. Because I'm just like, whatever. Hey, homebrew. Homebrew.
Starting point is 00:58:38 Homebrew is always the answer. But honestly, I couldn't be. I would love to just do a bunch of jobs that like i'm not qualified for because i would just do the wildest shit that would probably not be good to do but it would be funny to me like if i was in if i was in hashel bush i would create a company that just said fuck bud light and like all the shit that like people on the right yeah fuck butt light when you shoot these bottles a big mist in the air grows up that says fuck everybody else who ain't on my side and like be like so buy this shit yeah why they still don't
Starting point is 00:59:18 know that they're just putting money back in my i would create shit for them i would create shit for them yeah you know how great it is to make a product that people ain't gonna consume they just gonna buy i would put piss in it i would i wouldn't put it i wouldn't even put anything in it you ain't gonna take it you need to hire jackies jackies but anheuser-busch he is your new marketing man he's coming up a new product money Take their money. He'll take your money. It's all good. He will take your money, honey. Put it in a shell company.
Starting point is 00:59:49 Write it to one of his LLCs, and he will help you with your new campaign. But yeah, I mean, it is funny when it's like, oh, yeah, y'all think y'all have just... It reminds me of the primaries during the presidential year, too. It's like, you think they're different? Guess what? Because come inauguration, they're all singing from the same hymnal. But it is what it is. Arden, Maureen, I got to thank you so much for coming on The Daily Zeitgeist.

And so what soothes me, I love animal videos, but I particularly love, I love watching people rehabilitating beavers that in their homes and they build dams out of like household products in their hallways.
