This is a podcast where we take a deep dive into America's shared consciousness and say officially, off the top, hey, fuck Coke Industries and fuck Fox News.

People don't know why we do that. They tried to advertise it. So that's... We just gotta let you know. It's purely because they didn't pay for the advertising. That's why we're upset. No other reason. Do we have beef with the Koch brothers or their industry or Fox News? We just want to make it clear.

We can be bought. It's Friday, July 26, 2019. My name is Jack O'Brien, a.k.a. Do or Do Not There is no Brian That is courtesy of Hannah Soltis And I'm thrilled to be joined, as always, by my co-host Mr. Miles Gray

Do you like to eat gelato? Or visit Florence, Italy? If you want lots of hot takes about the trip that I took. I'm the miles that you wait for. Come with me, Mr. Gray. Yeah. Also from Hannah Soltis with the exact of AKAs today. Shout out to you, Hannah.

Boom, boom. On the summer Soltis. True goddess. Not the original AKA goddess, but up there, Hannah. So shout out to you. Anytime you cross that terrible song with me being able to talk about Italy, which is a great place to go to. That's a great song, actually. I now realize.

Let's bring our guest in. Yeah, oh, I'm sorry. You know, every time I mention Italy, there's a magic in the air that comes. It's hard to describe. That song didn't feel Italian for me, I was telling you. It was super, super good.

Needs some accordions and... That's what I'm saying, my mummy. If you like to drink Aperol Spritz. That's what is the Italian, I think. There you go. We're thrilled to be joined in our third seat by the hilarious and talented Allison Stevenson. Hello. Hey.

And you were saying that that song that Miles was singing... That very good song, by the way. That very great song. I mean, not that, you know what I'm saying. It's from like, you know, it's that era where it's like, yeah, cool. You did a lot of cocaine and you made a song that's catchy. Any song where a man says making love unironically, I'm there. Yeah, it's a winner for sure.

But you were saying that that song has a plot? Yeah, it's like a couple,. But you were saying that that song has a plot? Yeah, it's like a couple, a married, I think they're married, they're about to cheat on each other, so they each put out personal ads and then answer each other's personal ads. How do they get that much exposition? Great

songwriting, that's how. The chorus is the ad. Yeah. Is if you like that's the whole deal. And then they answer it and make love at midnight, I'm assuming. And then the next party goes, I didn't think about my lady. I know that sounds kind of mean, but me and my old lady had fallen into some, the same old dull routine. Oh, man.

So I wrote to the paper, took out a personal ad, and though I'm nobody's poet, I thought it wasn't half bad. Yes, I like peanut yocoladas. I love it, man. What was Rupert Holmes' private life like? I like a dude who talks about making love, but also calls his wife my old lady. My old lady. Yeah.

Well, that's like a very English thing. Is it? Well, based on the character from Wayne's World 2, who is that roadie. Yes. That they had to find, he kept saying. Which is what all of your knowledge of British people is based on. It's based off Wayne's World, too. All my knowledge of Italy is based on actually going there.

Uh-huh. Wait, you went to Italy? I didn't realize that. Anyways, Allison, we're going to get to know you a little bit better. I was in Tuscany for eight days. We're going to take our listeners through what we're talking about today. Where the sun has a different quality, like as if the caramel light is kissing your skin. As you can tell, that's mostly what we're going to be talking about today.

But we're also going to talk about the takes on the takes on Mueller. We're going to talk about what was going on while we were Mueller-ing it up. The new Secretary of Defense being Raytheon. Just is Raytheon at this point. Yeah, they just brought Raytheon in. The AV department at Turning Point, Student Action Summit doing a bang-up job. And Miles has written here, God damn you, Beyonce.

And that's your official opinion. That's me shaking my fist at the heavens. I mean, she just pulled the marketing move of the fucking century constantly. And I can't believe how we constantly walk into these traps. I feel like almost every time I'm here, we end up talking about Beyonce. Was it the last time homecoming, maybe? Yes, it was homecoming last time. There's always something to talk about with Beyonce.

Maybe there's something with you, actually, coming into orbit. You just bring Beyonce into the zeitgeist with you. The Beyonce of podcast guesting. Yes. We're going to talk about Jeffrey Epstein possibly trying to kill himself or possibly being murdered.

Just reminding us all why we need to protect this man as if we didn't want him dead. We're going to talk about Sylvester Stallone and Casey Affleck. Some upcoming attractions that have... Hey, Casey's a pretty good guy. Yes, exactly. But first, Allison, we like to ask our guests, what's something from your search history that's revealing about who you are?

I don't know, man. I've been having a lot of boring searches lately, but I will just say my most recent was I wanted to know everything about Mandy Patinkin last night because I've been watching Criminal Minds nonstop for the first time ever. Wow. I'm like just getting into it now, like 12 years later or whatever because it's all on Netflix. And I wanted to find out why he left the show.

Why did he? He just was like, I don't like how violent this is, and it upset him, so he left. Really? Yeah. He was like, oh, this show about serial killers, like, he just didn't know that it was going to be all violent and with dead women all the time. Right. Like, that's what you should expect.

Yeah, that sounds like the sort of decision you get to make after you've collected a couple years worth of paychecks from that job. You get to have morals about it. Wait, wasn't he also in Princess Bride? Which I did not know. The Showtime one. Homeland.

Homeland, yes. I think that's when I was like, oh yeah, what else has he been in? He's a big musical theater star too. Yeah think that's when I was like, oh, yeah, what else has he been in? He's a big musical theater star, too. Yeah, when I realized Saul was the dude from Princess Bride, that was one of those mind-blowing moments. Yeah, he's a talented dude and apparently very good in musical theater. A wholesome man, I take it.

Yeah? I just got wholesome vibes off of him. Yeah. Well, if he hates how violent Criminal Minds is. A wholesome man, I take it. Yeah? I just got wholesome vibes off of him. Yeah. Yeah. Well, if he hates how violent Criminal Minds is. Does he normally have a beard? I don't think so. Does he have a beard on Criminal Minds? I don't know.

I saw a picture of him recently that I think did have facial hair, and he's aging very well, too. How old is he? I think he's like 66 or something. Oh, Mandy. Good for you. Mandy. Oh, Mandy. Good for you. Mandy. Oh, Mandy. I can't find a picture of him without a beard, so it does seem like that

is his general move. He kind of looks like Eugene Levy with a beard. Bad call. Oh, in a way, yeah. They have the same sort of smiling eyes. Yeah. Can't hide those smiling eyes. Smiling eyes. Allison, what is something you think is overrated

okay this is based off of just being obsessed with nice sheets lately oh yeah like what is the purpose of flat sheets they're fucking stupid right like the flat yeah what is no one needs those strike it I literally just have them sitting in my closet and I never, like it's just a waste of fabric. So not the ones that fit over the mattress. Not the like. The fitted sheet. The fitted that goes on the mattress, but just like that extra pointless.

Well, I think it's just to like keep your, whatever your comforter from being less inundated with your body trash and sweat or whatever. You know what I mean? So then you have to wash your comforter constantly or the cover to it. But I'm the same belief. I just wash my duvet. I got a duvet. So I don't need the flat sheet. Sure.

I got a duvet. I'm feeling it because I move so much when I sleep, like the shit will end up at the bottom of the bed. Like it's completely shifted. I don't like it. I don't like it either. Go to the hotel room, I rip it right out. Yeah.

If I'm ever in a hotel room. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's a hotel thing. And they tuck it under and it restricts your movement, you know? Yeah. It's starting to sound like a science film. I use it to cover my chest following. Just raucous sex.

Yes, exactly. As you smoke a cigarette. To cover up. Exactly. To be a little more decent. Yeah, where would the film industry be? Where would those sex scenes be? Without the fletching.

Not just realistic where you're like, okay, should we go to the bathroom? Okay, never mind. What do I do? All women are usually wearing bras anyway, so it's like, who needs that? Where's that realistic post-coitus scene? Right.

You know what I mean? Yeah. We can go into that. Yeah, pee. It's not even in porn. Hey, can you turn the faucet on a little bit so it'll help me pee? Just a little bit. I need to hear the splash sound.

That's right. What is something you think is underrated? I'm going to go with camel toe. Okay. Go on. Yeah. What do you mean? You think he's got a bad rap?

Yeah, I think people see it as like an ugly thing, but it's like, first, it's inevitable. Right. For a lot of people, including myself, rocking it right now. You can't see. Because it's a podcast. Just know, just trust. Yeah, but if you guys join our Patreon. That's right

You get the camel toe cam That's a photo we get of every guest, actually You'll just have an entire Moose knuckles, camel toes It's all here for you Right, that's the male version, right? The moose knuckles, yeah, yeah, yeah Okay, then I'll add moose knuckles, too

No, I think camel toe Yeah, don't I think of my old science teacher who before we had anatomy class, we're like, what's going on with Mr. Harrison? Because moose knuckles just look uncomfortable. Yeah, it looks like you're- It looks like you're in pain. Yeah.

It looks like you're trying to mush a bunch of clay with fishing wire or something. Does the thing that John Hamm had Go on that one time count As a moose knuckle or is that just Like if it's a whole dick knuckle Right It was just like the whole outline Yeah

The cover of the Sticky Fingers album The like where you Oh yeah It's gotta be like violently tossed aside at the scene. I feel like you need khakis or gym shorts on to fully pull off a moose knuckle because jeans don't give you enough- Fabric's too thick.

Yeah, fabric's too thick to really be bunching in the way that a moose knuckle requires. I like a moose knuckle, too. What is... Is it myth time? It's myth time, baby. Oh, man. You know what time it is.

It's myth time, kid. That's how I'm asking people from now on. Buckle up. Okay, well, I mean, I already talked about camel toe, so I think I'm just going to go right into... You know, here's a myth, is that people think I have a big ass, but I don't. I'm just fat.

People think you have a big ass? Yeah. People text you like, you've got a big ass. Like creeps on the internet and stuff like, show more pictures of your fat butt or whatever. And it's like, I don't have a fat butt. Like, I literally just have a- A proportional butt? I'm just wide because I'm fat.

So it's like the illusion of a big butt. Oh, so they want you to look back at it. They assume. Right. Can you balance bottles on it? But realistically, it's actually pretty flat. Like if you just look at it, you know. I'm glad we busted that myth.

Yes. I mean, I would love to have a bigger butt, but it's just not the case. It's just not true. Yeah. Butts are different. All butts are different. All butts are different, but they all have the same value. Right.

You know what I mean? I don't know about that. Meanwhile, people think I don't have a big butt because we always take our pictures with me facing forward. But you should see, man, if you go on Jackson, if you actually have the privilege of him allowing you to follow him on ig we know his stories the way he'd be selttering in those photos uh his back arch i i'm gonna give you that you know how to arch that back i mean it helps a lot

but it's all illusions it's all a lie yes my big ass is a lie. Yes, my big ass is a lie. My big ass is a lie. But it's a beautiful lie. A beautiful lie. Jack, you know what you should do? Just because Zygang's so good with Photoshop, we should do a side angle photo and let people have at it. All of these jokes are aimed at just getting

dope Photoshop of me being tatted up and having a big old ass. Now your avatar is going to be your big butt. The perfect man. Tattoos and a big butt. You know what? We can add that to underrated is we have a lot of appreciation for female butts. Right.

Not a lot of people talking about how hot a bubbly dude butt can be. Bubbly. You see that big old butt cracked. A big old dude butt can be pretty hot. Yeah. Now, how big were you talking? Like, Jon Snow had a nice, like... Yeah, that was a good...

That was a good butt. That was good. He had, like, a nice little man's butt, but not like where you go, do-yo-yo. He had a... Fuck, he had cakes on him. He said, but not like do-yo-yo-yo.

Yeah, no. Do-yo-yo-yo-yo-yo-yo. Which is what I'm looking for. There's no Jack O'Brien. Yeah. I don't think I know what a good dude butt is other than when I saw Jon Snow's butt and I was like, whoa, that's a good dude butt. You know when you see it. That was one of the first times that I'd ever looked at a butt and been like, oh, there's a good man's butt.

You don't watch the NFL? I do watch the NFL. Some dudes with the yeeks in't watch the NFL? I do watch the NFL. Some dudes with the yeeks in the NFL, too. I should watch the NFL. They're wearing tight pants, you know what I mean? Yeah, but they're super compressed. I feel like all butts look the same in NFL. Oh, you're not looking hard enough.

That's fair. Yeah. I see some dumpers on there. Some big old dumpers, which is how you describe butts that you find attractive. Oh, man. Look at that dumper. As in a thing that poops.

That's what you like to remind yourself of when talking about how hot a butt is. That's the point of attraction. Yes. Oh, man. Look at that dumper. Should I leave now? Yeah, I think we're done. Okay. All right. Yeah, we're having a pivot. This shows the. Dumper. Should I leave now? Yeah, I think we're done. Okay.

All right. Yeah, we're having a pivot. This shows the daily dumper. Daily dumper. Let's talk about Mueller. Talk about talk about Mueller. Because people's responses to the Mueller hearing, granted, like we talked about yesterday, responses to the Mueller hearing granted like we talked about yesterday uh excruciating television but the New York Times take was like well that sucked we're going to like we're gonna suggest

Democrats can't talk about uh Russia interference in the 2016 election anymore like that was the take from the daily the New York Times well that's because everybody treats this shit like Game of Thrones and the journalists are fucking fans all of a sudden. That wasn't how I wanted that shit to end. Rather than being like, hold on, this is not fucking entertainment or where you thought some narrative plot point was going to be achieved in this. It's like about why don't you go off what was said and then run the news like that rather than buying into this idea of like, well, the sexiness wasn't there. Right. Like the optics were not good. No dumpers.

I get it. Yeah. No dumpers at all. And yeah, truth be told, this shit wasn't did not give the sound bites or whatever that maybe you wanted where you could convince people who might have been on the fence. But I mean, realistically, when you're looking at everything he said he's like being like yeah man we got problems rush is still fucking around this guy lied uh you should do what the fuck you're supposed to do okay i gotta go yeah my worthers it's time for a worthers break that was their takeaway was that yeah that it just i don't know it's like the coverage of the coverage

is just like too i don't know we we don't need coverage of the coverage is just like too. I don't know. We don't need to be meta about this shit. Just like cover the report itself. Don't be like, well, how's this going to play? No, no, no. What happened? What did this guy say about the fucking president of the United States and his actions? And they're also in a way like letting Trump lead because everything to him is just like TV. Like he's a TV critic.

Well, you even heard it on like MSNBC, all the networks. Like a lot of people were like, I mean, Robert Mueller looked like he lost a step. Right. And it's like, what? That's what the New York Times did. Why are you focusing on that rather than the fact that even despite all the weird grandstanding, a lot of the GOP did in screaming, they were never able to actually, you know, get him to go back on anything,

any of the evidence that's presented in the report. Like there's no being like, yeah, hello, this is, everything is true in here. Okay. Yeah. You just want to be like,

I mean, it's not the, it's not the sexy Robert Mueller. We were all beaten off to years prior. I thought it was going to and do a strip show. Like, what the fuck? Yeah. And The Intercept is Greenwald's paper that's, like, pretty far left.

But they were also the ones who were, like, the, you know, Russiagate will now go down in history as, like, the most ridiculous, like, overreach by the media ever. But now they've kind of changed their tune now that the Mueller report came out. And now, like, following yesterday's testimony, they were like, literally the dude from the New York Times, Mike Schmidt, was like, yeah, I mean, people are going to, you know, ask Democrats, A, why did you ever, like, talk about this in the first place? And B, why are we still talking about it? And they're not going to have an answer. And this dude from The Intercept was saying that, first of all, the testimony yesterday

was not as bad as people were making it seem. But also, the things that are coming out. Journalists should use the Mueller report as a guidepost to tell them what to look at. They shouldn't just be like, well, it wasn't as big a deal as we thought it was. That was a flop. Because it's very conservative. We didn't even get to see his dumper on camera. Right.

Mueller specifically talked about the fact that he didn't subpoena the president because he didn't want the thing to drag on for like years and so that just leaves it up to the media and congress to like keep pursuing this it shouldn't just be like a a situation where we're like well that was embarrassing we better yeah just because the president said it was embarrassing um yeah i mean the even like people writing like it was a flop right that's not the point of that it's not a movie but i guess that's where we've been pulled into like that's where the discourse is now because we have a president who speaks in those terms yeah but you know my right-leaning uh friend from my high school uh chat thread chat group was like uh well i wonder if jack's gonna admit he's wrong now and it's like there was literally nothing of substance that uh correlated with what people

on the right or people who are like claiming that this wasn't worth it have been saying. Well, even like, well, I guess he's wrong. Wrong about what? Right. The fucking report is true. That's truth. That's factual. So what am I like in this context?

What are you wrong about? Yeah. I'm confused. Because the same tired ass points on the right are like, oh, maybe he wasn't in control of the thing. Okay. Even let's play that out. So 12 angry Democrats, if that's true, there's nothing in there, nothing in the report that they've been able to disprove.

Right. So like, that's really, if you're really interested in about the truth of the matter, then the focus should be on what is in the report that is factually false. Yeah. And which I don't, I don't hear any, I don't hear any debate around that. Yeah. So the last paragraph of this dude's article in The Intercept said, the Democratic-controlled House should pick up where Mueller left off, create a select investigative committee that consolidates all the House's inquiries into Trump and Russia.

That would mirror the way Congress handled Watergate. Long before Congress began impeachment hearings in the House. A select Watergate committee was created in the Senate to investigate the scandal. So yeah, it's like there are steps to move forward, to move this thing forward. Like this dude was talking about how that CNN report about how Julian Assange was basically colluding with Russia the entire time that came out last week should have been like a bombshell. But everyone's just like, well, we'll see if Mueller says anything cool. But otherwise, I think I think this story is over. Right. I mean, I think if anything, still go forward because some action has to be taken. But you don't have to like make that the focal point of everything that your agenda is in power right just

be like yeah of course we're fucking looking at that but here's these other things too that are issues that voters are going to care about that we can still keep doing but maybe that's i think when there's too much debate within the party about like what to do yeah so you're left with like i don't know and then you got j Jerry Nadler and Nancy Pelosi fighting like, great. Yeah. Our grandparents are arguing. All right. We're going to take a quick break.

We'll be right back. Daphne Caruana Galizia was a Maltese investigative journalist who on October 16, 2017, was murdered. There are crooks everywhere you look now. The situation is desperate.

I ain't really hear them. Why is that? I just come here to play basketball every single day, and that's what I focus on. From college to the pros, Clark and Reese have changed the way we consume women's sports. Angel Reese is a joy to watch. She is unapologetically Black. I love her. What exactly ignited this fire?

versus Angel Reese. I know I'll go down in history. People are talking about women's basketball just because of one single game. Every great player needs a foil. I ain't really hear them voice. I just come here to play basketball every single day, and that's what I focus on. From college to the pros,

Clark and Reese have changed the way we consume women's sports. Angel Reese is a joy to watch. She is braggadocious. She is unapologetically black. I love her. What exactly ignited this fire? Why has it been so good for the game?

And can the fanfare surrounding these two supernovas be sustained? This game is only going to get better because the talent is getting better. Listen to The Making of a Rivalry, Caitlin Clark vs. Angel Reese on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. And while we were all mullering it up

over on that side of things, Trump was vetoing a congressional attempt to block the Saudi arms sale. Yeah, to try and basically punish them for what is happening in Yemen. And, you know, it's a horrifying human rights abuse that's taking place and you know people were trying to get some sort of punishment in place or at least like not rewarding the saudi uh role in in that war and yeah he said fuck y'all i mean the whole thing is you know there there's so much shit on its face to be like this is uh you know we have a country that we've always had this really bizarre relationship with where it's like okay you let us you know park our shit in the middle east in your spot we'll give you some some fucking guns

and some bombs and shit you like there's this this really bizarre relationship where we'll never actually fully look at the actions of saudi arabia and be like hold them accountable because there's this this really bizarre relationship where we'll never actually fully look at the actions of Saudi Arabia and be like, hold them accountable because there's a relationship there. Yeah. And then when you have all of these other things going on, like obviously the people that are dying in Yemen using the arms that we are giving Saudi Arabia or some depending on which human rights group you want to look at. to look at um and the just the actions of muhammad bin salman uh in regards to the murder of jamal hashoji there's like plenty there that i think even like even the most trumpian loyal fucking people in the car i don't even know the fucking term is for these trump dump loyalists trumpers that are like yeah yeah yeah maybe this is not. Maybe we do need to think about who we give bang bangs to and how they use them because that's our calling card. But again, I think if the government cared that much,

they'd have to put their focus on many other avenues. But I think in regards to this, it's just another extension again, where there was a moment to maybe do something right. And then here comes this veto where it's like, no, no, no. This is where we stand. This is where the United States' position is. We're co-signing everything they're doing in Yemen, and we co-sign the murder of journalists, and we co-sign all the other human rights abuses.

And in fact, we want to help them do that better. So let's keep the $8 billion in arms moving. Well, speaking of arms, we have a new Secretary of Defense. Yay! Finally, some good news. Yeah. Or is it? Mark Esper.

Yeah. Sexy name. I mean, yeah. Yeah, pretty cool. Mark Esper. Esper. He's got good resume. He's a Gulf War veteran. Yeah. Pretty cool. Mark Esper. Esper. He's got good resume. You know, he's a Gulf War veteran.

Boom. He's a former Army secretary. Plet out. Extensive experience in defense policy. What, what? Looks good in camouflage? Looks great in camo. Was an extra in The Rock.

Was he? Yeah. Really? No. Oh, okay. And that's why he was probably confirmed 90 to 8. Not to mention that there hasn't been a fucking confirmed secretary for like 8,000 years since Jim Mattis.

But like, there's definitely a need to have that position filled. The problem is, for the eight people who voted nay, they were like, right, I get all this other stuff. This guy is coming from his job, his last job, as the top lobbyist for Raytheon. And now he's going to be the person who's like, yeah, who are we buying from? What kind of deals do we want to make? Am I going to make considerations for Raytheon? Swampy.

And yeah, that was the thing. Even Elizabeth Warren, she pressed him during his confirmation hearings about just saying like, will you pledge to recuse yourself from any decisions that would affect Raytheon or business dealings with Raytheon? He was like, why the fuck would I? Basically, he's like, well, I haven't been told like by the ethics people that I shouldn't. She's like, I understand what you've been told, but do you understand what that looks like? You have been lobbying on their behalf. Now you're in the fucking driver's

seat. Can you guarantee us that you won't have any kind of corrupt intent? He's like, nah, I can't promise that. Even Patrick Shanahan before him, she was like, asked him, will you recuse yourself from any dealings with Boeing, the former company he used to lobby for? And he's like, yeah, sure.

But my man, Mr. Swamp Thing Esper was like, I don't think so. So now that's four cabinet heads that were former lobbyists in this administration. Although, you know, I will, you have to look at how even Obama did it. He had people at Raytheon working in the Defense Department too. So this is just sort of another indication. This is how things work. This is how things work. It's how things work. But at the same time, when you look at the people who voted no, like Elizabeth Warren,

Cory Booker, pretty much every person who's running for president, except for Bernie, he wasn't he didn't vote. That's sort of what they're signaling to people who might not be looking at this situation the same way and saying, like, no, this is a problem. You see, we're putting people in the positions of power who used to work on behalf of them and selling this shit to the government so shit you know yeah shout out to the swamp shout out to all swamp things out there i mean but that's the whole system is you go from you know public service to benefiting from that public service in some way financially to back to being an elected official back to you know back and forth uh between appointments and then you know

enriching yourself from that i mean that's just i'm not saying it's bad baby that's just the way you do business that's just how this shit go that's just you know well i'm a little bit of an idiot but how is it technically okay like how does that fly with the ethics committee or is that what you said yeah i'm not sure what they gave him i think because it was so broad they're like well of course like how could you in your work experience recuse yourself i'm not sure what the the laziness is but i think just in general i doubt those ethics lawyer actually even see that as a problem. They're like, what?

No. As long as you don't work. It's like, well, if you still worked for Raytheon and were a sect then maybe, but you don't work for them anymore and who would think? But that's just the merry-go-round of Capitol Hill politics.

I don't see why Elizabeth Warren has to be so mean, man. It's her deal. Someone fucking apologized to him for her. Oh, really? Because of her, he said, I'm really sorry about Senator Warren's behavior. She's trying to have a moment

because she's running for president. Who said that? Some shit bag. What the fuck? I can tell you, but it doesn't even matter because it's the same shit over and over. Specifically, it was Jim Einhofe. Yeah, the chairman of the

Armed Services Committee. He literally said, oh, no, no. So he apologized, and then Rick Scott then said, I guess you just needed a moment for her presidential campaign. So, yeah. And that's their whole thing is they took all the people who were like questioning his background

and his intent and how that looks bad was just everyone was saying like, you know, they're just grandstanding. They're just grandstanding. It's like, yeah, okay. That's what we call trying to hold people accountable grandstanding.

Yeah. And I mean, for a reason why everybody on both sides should find this alarming, the whole like military industrial complex thing like is not good. and justify the building of more weapons and the building and the buildup of military, just everything, that makes it so that it's always in the nation's interest to have conflict somewhere, the threat of conflict somewhere. You can't sell bombs when there's peace.

Right. You can sell a lot of weed, though, I bet. It's true. Yeah. You can weaponize lot of weed, though, I bet. It's true. And tacos. Yeah. Think about that. You can weaponize weed. How about that?

Oh, shit. You could. Like a really strong dab. Longs that explode. Poisonous dabs. Yeah. Let's talk about what happened at the Turning Point Student Action Summit. Oh, my God.

Did you see the photo? Yeah, I'm looking at it. I did not immediately see what was happening. So Turning Point Diaper World USA, Charlie Kirk's fucking favorite organization, they had a student summit where all the loser kids you go to school with were like, well, I'm going to see the president talk.

Can you imagine being in college right now and being like a Trumper college kid? It sounds awful. There was a poll recently that said 80% of college students believe everything that's in the Mueller report or believe what's implied by the Mueller report. Well done, college students. So that 20% are like, yeah, you guys are sheep. Anyway, let me put my red hat on and fucking goose step into this. Oh, and that reminds me.

You got to be careful out there because a lot of the hidden Republicans who still want to hook up with the cool liberal girls, they'll just say they're moderate. Right. Yes. Or libertarian. Or libertarian, yeah. A fiscally conservative, socially racist. Yeah. Okay, moving on.

So be careful. Yeah, right? Oh, because, God, I bet you could do a whole expose on, like, undercover conservatives who have to kind of pretend to be, like, progressive in order to have sex. So they can bang. Oh, boy. Wow. Yeah.

So, yeah, at turning point, the president came to speak. I think that's when he said, I can do pretty much whatever I want to do. Like, gave that fucking line um and he was standing in front of a presidential seal um and but if you look closely this was not the presidential seal of the president of the united states it was a fucking troll image um and there are a few things that people were like hold on are you guys looking at what the president is actually standing in front of? It's a two-headed eagle, which evokes the seal of the Russian Federation, which has a two-headed bird on it, which is different.

Also, rather than the arrows that the eagle is clutching, it was golf clubs in one, cash in the other. And then instead of E Pluribus unum, which was like the Latin that's on the seal, it says 45 es un titere, or 45 is a puppet in Spanish. And the scrambling from Turning Point is just so funny because it,

first of all, it's a joke organization dealing with a joke administration. So like just the Keystone cops of it all is just so funny. The way this went down when CNN was like, what happened? Their first thing is like there was zero malicious intent. First of all, we're sorry for the mix up and meant no disrespect to the White House or the president or the advance team. The individual responsible, a member of TPUSA's AV team, was let go in the wake of the incident. Wow.

According to a source familiar with the event, the incident was just a terrible Google search mistake. TPUSA had event branding on the screens, but during a run-through ahead of Trump's remarks a few hours before the event, the team was told they had to change the branding to a presidential seal, prompting a search for a high-quality image. Quote, one of our video team members did a Google image search for a high res PNG file of the presidential seal. Adding that the individual quote, did the search

and with the pressure of the event, didn't notice that it was a doctored seal. Maybe do your work ahead of time instead of last minute. Exactly. The White House just threw them under the bus. So they were like, if you want to know more, you're going to have to ask them. Like was the actual, I mean, somewhere around that was a quote.

And then another source that Sia didn't talk to who knew like must be on the advance team or something basically says, quote, ultimately both TPUSA and the White House advance are at fault. TPUSA and their production crew were responsible for putting the wrong graphic up, but the advance office should have provided the official seal and or approved everything that was put out. Yeah, that's 100% true. But did they notice it while it was happening or was it not noticed at all until everything was said and done? I don't know. I think I only saw it as like people like in a tweet or something or something like the press saw it. I don't know if it happened like in the middle. Yeah, right, right. Yeah, I'm sure. I mean, regardless of how many people in the room noticed, Trump would be the last person to notice something like that.

He'd be like, oh, it looks better. Right. Of course, I'm holding my eagle has two heads and I'm holding golf clubs. Oh, hell yeah. See, they did it custom for me. Right. Of course I'm holding, my eagle has two heads and I'm holding golf clubs. Oh, hell yeah. See, they did it custom for me. I'm balling and I'm golfing, baby. They already know. Cash in one hand, clubs in the other. And so the Hollywood Reporter just came out with Hollywood's top power players' contributions to presidential campaigns so far. But it was interesting. So Kamala Harris is number one, and it just doesn't reflect what the overall makeup is

of who's leading in the polls. Wait, what is this exactly? The power players? Yeah. in the polls. Wait, what is this exactly? The power players? Yeah.

So Hollywood Reporter puts out the Hollywood Reporter 100 list, which is the most powerful people in Hollywood, essentially, like in the entertainment industry. Oh, got it. So they went through that list and checked for who has given money to which candidates. who has given money to which candidates. Got it. So Kamala Harris has received $73,000 from that list of 100 people. You know, I actually greenlit Hidden Fences. Joe Biden's in second place with $22,000. So Kamala Harris is fucking crushing.

Yeah, but Joe Biden in second. And then Amy Klobuchar, Kristen Gillibrand, and Cory Booker coming in next at 10,000 each. So that's kind of surprising because they're two big names that are kind of high up in the rankings that are missing from that list, which Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders. that list, which Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders, they have not a single member of that 100 most powerful list donated a single dollar to Elizabeth Warren or Bernie Sanders. Not even a single dollar? Not a single dollar. Oh, because they couldn't blow them out the water with huge donations? Just nothing.

Just nothing. I guess that speaks to them being like, well, I need to be able to write this off. Yeah. So if I can only give, but I mean, you can only take 2,800 as a max for the cycle. I think what it speaks to is that anybody who is trying to upset the system. Socialize it up too much. Yeah, socialize it up too much or confront the current power structures

is going to be unpopular with the people who are on top of the game. Well, where's Andrew Yang on that? Did he make the list? He did not make the list. Damn. But. Yeah, that makes sense.

I mean, I think how predatory like the entertainment industry is like if suddenly like people got wise and like what's and what's going on over here right is how is this business structured yeah how does that work how do these deals work yeah but hmm so the the politics on screen may be uh somewhat progressive but they don't they don't want that progressive shit but where's like touching their money where's like spots 101 to 500? I wonder if that would change, honestly. Yeah, I'm sure it would.

Because I think that makes sense. Like at the highest point, you want the people who are going to maintain the status quo, but I'm sure they're outnumbered. I wonder if they're outnumbered below that. Because, you know, I think we just barely missed the list. I think, Allison, you were 101. Yep.

Jack was 102. Yes. I was around 150. I'm still kind of an outlier. But like, you know. Yep. Jack was 102. Yes. I was around 150. I'm still kind of an outlier. But like, you know. Yeah. Analyze that. Analyze that Hollywood reporter.

Also, how do we get in that? How do we get on that list? Just be a billionaire who makes movies. Who was number one on that list? You give a lot of money to Kamala Harris. She wins the presidency. And then she has a lot of power. She makes you the secretary of Hollywood.

Secretary of weed. That's right. Because her family's Jamaica. That's true. Okay, okay. Chill, chill, chill. All right, we're going to take another quick break.

We'll be right back. Daphne Caruana Galizia was a Maltese investigative journalist who on October 16, 2017, was murdered. There are crooks everywhere you look now. The situation is desperate.

on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. And Beyonce is back in the news. Here we go. What'd she do this time, guys? God damn you, Beyonce! So there's a fucking video out that says for something called 22 Days Nutrition.

Yeah. And I'm like, okay, Beyonce's doing some kind of thing. The video, okay, so if you remember the Homecoming documentary about Beechella, one of the sequences specifically deals with her getting back in shape after having her children and getting into peak Yonce fitness level so she can show people what stamina is. Yeah.

Okay. And, I mean, you see her physically change, like, over the course of the documentary. Like, she just looks different from the beginning to the end because she's just had babies. And she's just had babies. And she's like, I'm going on this. I'm doing plant-based or whatever.

Was the scene where Jay-Z acts super casual, was that in response to her saying, I fit in this thing now? Yeah. Okay, so in this clip, right, they show a lot of the Homecoming documentary and sort of connect this, her new nutrition thing with like her, her, her transformation. And there's a moment where she's like, but I was working with, you know, Marco Borges, who was like my nutritionist. They do that same sequence. She's like, I fit in it, but they cut to a FaceTime thing of the, the, the, uh, nutritionist. And he's like so much more excited. Like, it's just, it was just funny that I was like, wait, that, I don't think that moment was in the documentary. Right. I think it was only Jay-Z.

Anyway, doesn't matter because this is where it comes in. This teaser basically takes that whole transformation sequence and just serves it right back to the viewer in the form of, you can now do this fucking too. Yeah. With Beyonce's 22-day nutrition plan. Yeah. And I was kind of like, okay the what kind of snake oil shit is this it's actually i don't know i'm i'm not full i can't say i'm too suspicious of it because she's basically just selling a like meal planning guide but to eat like healthy and more in a plant-based

diet and i'm like okay so you're not like on some like try beyond say meat beyond meat or whatever the fuck beyond Beyond Beyonce. Yeah, Beyond's. It's just very much like this is how you can eat vegan. Here's a meal plan. It's relatively cheap. It's $99 gets you a year of the plan. So what it'll do is you'll take a survey.

You tell what you like to eat, what you don't like. It'll then begin telling you, okay, these are the kinds of dishes you would like. You can say how much time you have to cook. Oh, so it doesn't even send you the food? No, no, no. It's not about that. It's just about empowering you to be like, if you can stick to this, this is how you can do it. These are foods you'll most likely like to make it easier for you to eat this diet. And even like tells you like recipes to cook based on like even the appliances you have in your kitchen. So it's not like this thing that just assumes like, oh, you probably have a chef's kitchen with Viking range and staff. Like it's like, oh, yeah, like you might not have this thing.

OK, here's how you could do it with a microwave. But like it's still allowing people to be like, yeah, if you want to eat healthier. Is it like an app? It's an app. yeah. And I think probably a website too. But it's just purely information based on this of like meal planning to just eat healthier. And she

did have that thing, that initiative for going vegan where it was like, if you sign up, you go to every Beyonce concert for life. Commit to eating one day of the week vegan. Yeah. Can you print it out for me because i that's what i would need uh yeah you can print it out too you can print it out look it on your ipad or your google glasses that you still remember that detail from hillary

clinton's campaign where like that she had a whole like person whose job was just to print her emails out for her oh yeah yeah isn't Trump the same way, too? Yeah, probably. He hates... Just old people things. Yeah, just old people shit. Give me the paper version. Although I kind of like marking articles up.

Yeah. Like, if I have to really, like, analyze something, it's kind of hard to do on computer. It's not as effective, even if you can, technically. It's just, like, not... Yeah, like, I'm good at, like, underlining right in the margin. Like, fuck that. Right. That's how I grade papers just fuck that oh no under this intro paragraph shit bro fuck this nonsense but yeah i mean this does seem like i mean first of all that price point is

i thought it was gonna be i thought you're gonna say 99 a month or something like that 99 a year is pretty manageable. But I am confused about what you're buying. You're just buying advice? Yeah, basically. Like you're buying a nutritionist, an automated nutritionist. Like week to week it helps you. So what it will do, it is a meal planner, which offers members access to tools and foods that empower everyone to become their healthiest self through proper nutrition uh and yeah so it basically just gives you food recommendations as well as then i think this

is where you get the in-app purchases as well as access to a line of usda organic non-gmo plant based products but i think even then if you want to do the diy version you're like all right just give me the rest give me the beyonce Right. And let me get snatched for tour. The opposite of this is like Alex Jones doing nutraceuticals or whatever. Yeah, being like, your brain will fucking come out your face. Yeah. You just take one of these and you'll

be as smart as me. You'll come wisdom. Whoa, Alex. But, you know, this is, this doesn't like promise to have the silver bullet. It's just like, yeah, I mean, it's still hard. Well, the silver bullet. But this tells you what it is.

The thing is, it's Beyonce's Jupiter levels of gravitational force that she has on people. And using, this is why I'm saying God damn you, because it's like a genius way of, like, saying, remember that documentary? And you're like, damn, good on Beyonce. And now it's like, hi, would you like to buy that experience? And it's like, fuck, you already poisoned my mind.

Remember that really motivational, wholesome section? What if that was an infomercial? Yes. So still getting our capitalist on. Yeah. I mean, I just never claimed not to be. I feel like that should be free if you know if you really want to go vegan but i don't know that's just me i think what you do i totally i think that's where it's hard for me like on one hand i'm like i get

what the intent is yeah at the same time it's like you know you got to make money that's at that level that's where i don't think anyone, I would be surprised if someone at this point was using their outsized popularity to be like, you know what? This is free. Because imagine how many people, if that shit were free, you'd have a, what I would do is just invest in some vegan shit, have Beyonce give you the free meal plan,

and you'll probably see somewhat of a jump in sales from people being like, okay, I'm going to do the Beyonce 22 beachella diet. Well, I mean, think about how much money the president is losing just by being the president, how much he's sacrificing. Yeah. Because he makes so much money just like hand over fist. Yeah, yeah. Good point. I make less money now.

Right. Yeah. Play way more golf, though. You know, double-edged sword. Well, speaking of the president, Jeffrey Epstein was, I don't know, this story's a little bit confusing, but a local NBC station is reporting that he was found, like, semi-conscious in his cell. And injured, right? It was weird. And injured, right?

It was weird. Right, with a neck injury, and they're treating it as a possible attempted suicide, possible assault. So they're leaving room to say it might be this other thing. They're just not saying anything, basically. But that's confirmed that that happened at least? Yes. And the reporting is he's currently still in the same part of the prison, but he's on suicide watch. So it makes sense that it was possibly a suicide thing. But this just makes me really extra want to make sure that he is not allowed to kill himself or be murdered. Yeah, or be murdered in prison. Yeah, and have it look like he killed himself because when I was picturing what it looked like where he was being held,

I was picturing like Magneto prison or like Hannibal Lecter's like- Plexiglass. Plexiglass. Plexi cell. Like little goldfish bowl where you can see him from all angles. He's like in a prison cell with a hitman.

Wait, he has a cellie? Yes. He has a cellie. Okay. His name is Nicholas- Tartaglione. Tartaglione. And he murdered four people.

He was a former cop who murdered four people in an alleged cocaine distribution conspiracy. Oh, good. So a corrupt cop who's killed people. an alleged cocaine distribution conspiracy. Oh, good. So a corrupt cop who's killed people. A corrupt cop hit man. In a prison cell with a guy who's connected to very powerful people. This is a sitcom I would watch. Yeah, whose testimony could potentially

bring down so many elements of the entertainment industry politics. Really? Yes. His celly is that guy? Why does he have a celly? Why are you treating him like a normal like this dude

can bring down so many people and if he either kills himself or is killed and it's made to look like a suicide like that's going to look really fucking bad for everyone. It's weird how we're Like that's going to look really fucking bad for everyone. Yeah.

Like they like. It's weird how we're like actually concerned with the well-being of a sexual predator. Yeah. Because. Just for a minute. Just for a sec. Well, because it's just like, please, we need Jeffrey Epstein to fully, you know, what's unobscure? I guess make clear, clarify,

bring clarity to this web of sexual predators and pedophiles that he was palling around with. Right. And yeah, now we're like, now I'm like, how does he have a cellmate? Right. Yeah. I don't know how he has a cellmate.

And like, they're supposedly like treating, like they are complaining because there's like rats and like the food is terrible and shit like that him and Tartaglione are we're both like complaining together because people were asking if maybe his celly was like assaulted him and the cellies

lawyers are like they get along great are you kidding me they love each other they were just complaining together about which is a weird flex they love each other. They were just complaining together about, uh, which is a weird flex on their part, but, uh,

yeah, they were just complaining together about how bad it is in there. Flooding, rodents and bad food. Uh, which I mean, yeah, at the very least,

nobody has ever deserved that more than Jeffrey Epstein, but I don't want him dead. We need, we need to keep him alive for as long as we can get information out of him. Yeah. So, yeah, keep him. I'm sure the internet is a flutter with conspiracy theories at this point of like, it's the Clintons. Yeah.

It's the Clintons. It's the Clintons. Yeah. I mean. Fucking Clintons, man. I mean. Fucking Clintons, man. Also, like, if you are someone on Suicide Watch,

like, are they normally left alone? Or do they have a celly to be like, maybe this murder will cheer you up? Right. Like, I'm not sure what the logic is there. I'm assuming he's no longer with his celly. Right. Now that he's on Suicide Watch. Now that he's on Suicide Watch.

Right. Yeah, now his celly is a rope man celly. Right. Now that he's on suicide watch. Now that he's on suicide watch. Right. Yeah, now his celly is rope man. Right. Right. Rope man McKnight hands. We'll see what happens. Loves to give hugs. Yeah, loves to hug.

It's just a big boa constrictor. Don't fall asleep, Jeff. All right, let's talk about Sylvester Stallone. Finally. Yeah. Finally. Yeah. Yeah. Hey, you know. Don't I got rights?

Hey, don't I got rights? Hey, you know. I got freaking rights, you know. Miles' five-word impression. Only can say, don't I got rights. I don't think I could do anything else. But he can say the hell out of that phrase. Yeah.

He wants to reboot Rocky. Again? He did that. Right. Like Creed was a great movie. And, you know, Creed II, I haven't seen. Creed II, Electric Boogaloo. Yeah, it was pretty good.

He's 73 years old. The last thing we saw. Wow, really? Yeah, he's 73. There's no way that, I mean, the point of a Rocky movie is that Rocky fights at the end of the Rocky movie. Yeah, but now he's fighting against osteoporosis. Right. And so that'll be really tight.

Just drinking a lot of calcium. Yeah, I mean, so in this one, they said, so he did an interview recently where he talked about a lot of things. But when they talked about a sequel, Stallone says, there's a good chance that Rocky may ride again. He then goes on to divulge the plot of the sequel, which involves now get this shit. Rocky quote, befriending a young street fighter living in the U S illegally.

What? Rocky meets a young, angry person who got stuck in this country. When he, when he comes to see his sister. He takes him into his life and an unbelievable adventure begins. And they wind up south of the border. It's very, very timely. What the fuck is this?

I mean, white fight savior? Fucking, what the fuck? 73-year-old Rocky is like running around on like border crossing adventures immigration advocate yeah I know he looks amazing right well look I mean if you pump yourself up with enough HGH or whatever the

fuck else he looks like a melting novelty candle I mean yeah I'm sure I mean I can only guess he's like yeah you know he's gonna be Mexican you know I mean, yeah, I'm sure. I mean, I can only guess. He's like, yeah, you know, it's going to be Mexican,

you know? I mean, he has, so he had the perfect mind for the eighties because like, so the idea of Rocky going to Russia to win the cold war was just the right amount of cheesiness for the eighties. But now like, it's like too on the nose. It's aggressive.

We're over it. It's just, it doesn't work for the modern world. Yeah, you know, he's going to go to Mexico and fight the Me Too mafia. Right, yeah. Fucking knock them out. Like, what the, the Me What? You know, all the fentanyl they're bringing in. Right.

And then the Me Too stuff, you know, so you're going to fight them. Like, okay. The other thing is, though, you know, so you're gonna fight him. Like, okay. The other thing is though, he wants to do a TV prequel series. This guy's trying to bite the whole fucking apple. Right. Wow.

But this is where he was like, but I can't do that because A, he doesn't even own the intellectual property rights to anything having to do with Rocky. What? He was fucking hoodwinked

out of his IP rights to Rocky. He fucking wrote, he created Rocky, right? created rocky right right the fucking writer of it that's a pretty common thing actually yeah well yeah he wrote it when he was a nobody in hollywood and like right sold it to the uh studio like the studio didn't even want him to be the person in it and he like had to basically put his foot down and be like look you can have the intellectual property just let me just let me fight you know let me look tough but i think yeah i think the the producer who does have the rights erwin winkler like has a good relationship with sylvester stallone so he's the one who's always been like okay like yeah let's do another one and maybe not this prequel thing but also you know i'm like a got old guy meeting a young angry kid fighter is also creed right

yeah it's like gotta get a little bit but you know mexican this time yes different i hear they come out see the movies uh the rocky is uh also based on like so stallone went and saw this fight where a guy named chuck wepner basically like made it to the last round with muhammad ali and so rocky is essentially a true story and sylvester stallone just like never gave this guy credit and like at first he was like yeah it's based on Chuck Wepner. And then people were like, shh, shh, shh, that's not. And he was like, it's not based on anyone. It's Rocky.

So yeah, kind of fucked up. Chuck Wepner signs boxing gloves in a one-bedroom house for a living these days. Oh, man, really? One-bedroom house for a living these days. Oh, man. Really? One-bedroom house sounds pretty nice. There you go. One bedroom. Yeah, it's actually beautiful.

It's like a Santa Monica bungalow. It's really – It's like on one of those streets right off Ocean that's like kind of those preserved areas. Right. It just appraised for $2.3 million actually. And let's talk about Casey Affleleck real quick okay yeah so he's got a movie coming out in august called light of my life is what it's called so casey affleck which sounds like something a shitty husband says in an apology card of. To the light of my wife. Yes. Okay.

So this is an apology film? So this is a movie in which all women are dead. Yeah! Except for his daughter. A perfect world you mean? Hell yeah! So just in case you forgot, during

the making of I'm Still Here, which was a fake documentary about Joaquin Phoenix growing a beard or something. And then rapping and doing a bunch of coke. Anyways, Affleck routinely referred to women as cows, assaulted a woman when she wouldn't share a hotel room with him, and straight up showed up in a woman's bed one night. What? I didn't know that part. Uninvited. Yeah. So, you know, he didn't go to the Oscars last year

because his publicist said that's a no-win situation for Casey. Okay, I'm sorry. No-win. In what situation is he supposed to win? Right. Oh, that's a no win for him. Yes. That's such a weird way of saying that.

Of like, clearly my client is in some shit right now and it's probably better he keeps his ass home. Yeah. Rather than no, he won't win and they won't win. It's just no one's going to win. So he has taken full responsibility for his actions by saying things like, the buck had to stop at me as one of the producers that contributed to an unprofessional environment. So water under the bridge. Yeah. Okay.

So he's cool now. He should not have, quote, tolerated. Yeah. Shouldn't have tolerated that kind of behavior from other people. So, I mean, but yeah, he's totally owning up to it. Anyways, this new movie is all about a world where women all died from a female targeted plague. And the female targeted plague is not played by Casey Affleck. It's just an illness that has taken out all the women.

And he has a daughter. So he's trying to survive the post-apocalypse with his daughter. Wait, so every woman is dead except his daughter? Except his daughter. Oh, wow. Oh, wow. Yeah, because as the father of a daughter right i really understand uh how how women must be feeling at this moment uh no that's literally the like the deal though right it's like as as a father or daughter like i'm shepherding her

through this like fucked world yeah yeah that i'm contributing to but anyway right i created like literally as i wrote this script um people immediately pointed out the connection and you know the idea that maybe this is some wish fulfillment where uh he gets to just be a bro um and not have to worry about like women Jesus Christ the survival of the species I'm just so confused like does it say what the plot is exactly like other than the fact that all the women are dead it looks very much like the road it looks like he read

the road and saw children of men in the same week and also saw his mentions and then saw his mentions he says he wrote it before, quote, those things became part of the conversation, end quote. Those things. But he still decided to make it.

And it's apparently getting good reviews based on the trailer. Huh. So. Interesting. I mean, maybe the script could be good. It's like, why is he in it? Right. That's the part where they completely fucked up.

Well, it's my story, so I got to be in it. Yeah. Wow. Okay. And then his brother in the same week, this past week, it was announced that he is finally reuniting with Matt Damon for the first movie with the two of them in it in a long time. This new movie is called The Last Duel, and it's about two friends who duel to the death

because one of them raped the other one's wife. Whoa. So it's a movie about rape in which the focus is the two male stars of Dogma. And it takes place in France, right? It's like a period piece. So this is actually a crazy story. You can actually watch. It's not a story about some shit that went down in Simi Valley.

Right. No, you can watch the video of this duel that took place in the 60s. Oh, it was in the 60s? Yeah, it was like- Oh, it's based on a real thing? Yeah, yeah, it's based on a real thing where these two dudes- So not problematic. Dueled, I think to the death, with swords and-

With swords? Yeah, yeah. Oh, wow. It was with- Fuck, I kind of want to watch this now. Well, why do we need to see them? Just look at the footage of two of the men actually fighting each other. Killing each other with swords.

Yeah. Wow. But it was basically one of them comes back from war, and the other one's wife is like, that dude raped me, like your best friend. And then he's like, he brings it to the head of the, like it gets brought further and further up in the court and the King of France gives them the decision

that the two men should fight a duel to the death. And that's what happens. What year is this supposed to take place? It's the 60s. But is there a 60s? There wasn't a King of France in the 60s, though. That's probably at the beginning of when men gave a shit. That's like the start of giving a shit if a woman gets raped.

Right. Right. Yeah. But then it was still like, yeah, but y'all got a sword fight. Yeah. Like still solving it the most toxic way. Yeah, yeah. Right.

Yeah, yeah. But fight with these fucking swords, though. It's also just like an easy solution. But what if the rapist wins? Then that's what it was meant to be, bro. I. Yeah, yeah, but fight with these fucking swords, though. It's also just like an easy solution. But what if the rapist wins? Then that's what it was meant to be, bro. I don't make the rules. I'm the king of fucking France. Yeah, you do.

You just made this up. Yeah, but I'm saying that would be sick if we videoed it. Wait, what? Yeah, it's pretty wild. Anyways, so... Keep your eye out for those blockbusters coming out soon I hope it's a double feature at every movie theater

I mean the trailer for the one the children of men of the road ripoff is looks watchable yeah if you take out the context yeah if you just take out the context exactly looks watchable. Yeah, if you take out the context around it. Yeah, if you just take out the context.

I'm here for the art, man, not the artist. That's right. And it's scored by an R. Kelly soundtrack. Alright, well Allison, it's been a pleasure having you as always. Thank you so much. Where can people find you?
