on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen to podcasts. Hello, the Internet and welcome to this episode of Fuckable Snow Trend Movie. Oh, wow. Oh, my name is Jack in your heart. Oh, I got a song in my heart. And I have a dance in my fingers because I have worms in my heart. Worms. All right. So here's we've come up with the structure of this episode.

Yeah. If you've ever watched, like, high school football practices. Yeah. If you're like running the ball. Yeah. Where you run the ball through a gauntlet of people with tackling pads and they just wreck your shit from left and right. Yeah. And you got to get through that. And then you get to the other side. And there's a fuckable snowman movie waiting for you to discuss. To discuss, yeah. So that's, we're gonna run through the gauntlet

of terrible news and then we will get to hot frosty. We won't expand too much because I think we already know how bad everything is, but let's just start. Number one, Joe Biden is trending. Why? Hot frosty. That sounds like a sexual maneuver, right? I know, I know it does.

You know, like the rusty trombone or something. Jack, we gotta get through it. The whistle has blown. We've been handed the ball and we need to put our head down. What would hot frosty be? What would hot frosty do? So, last month we heard again. Oh, I know what it would do. It's gross though. We're not gonna talk about it.

Yeah, yeah, don't talk about it. Don't talk about it. Go ahead. Don't talk about this gross thing. Joe Biden, stay focused. Last month. Like the two girls one cut, that looked like a frosty. Oh my God, it. Don't talk about this gross thing. Joe Biden, stay focused. Last month. Like the two girls one cut that looked like a frosty. Oh my God, dude. That looked like a hot frost.

All right. Joe Biden. Remember him? We're gonna have to. So last month, you remember, there was this whole threat of like, we're giving Israel 30 days to make sure there was more humanitarian aid going into Gaza or else.

And people were like, what does the or else mean? He's like, oh, we could- You don't wanna know, brother. Well, they even in the wording, they're like, could potentially cut military assistance. Well, 30 days have passed and we haven't seen any consequences. So as this is all happening, you know,

there's new crossings opening up into Gaza, Israel announced. And again, the quote, what we're hearing from the State Department is basically that there is, they will be doing nothing. They will be doing nothing. They will be doing nothing. It's very, I don't know. Again, this was, I mean, we've seen just based on how the administration has been making these decisions, that it was always just going to be sort of performative. But now to the point where it truly is just like nonsense. They're like, oh yeah, we got 30 days. And or else means or else we will just keep helping you.

And this is while again, we're seeing more violence in supposed safe zones, more violence in the West Bank. And you know, this is all happening while Palestinian people are starving. So yes, that's the first bit of terrible shitty news. The next one. Oh, and yes, here was Jack, I saw you writing this point too, because last week there was this other thing, the the the ultras that in terms like soccer hooligans that support Maccabee Tel Aviv, they were in Amsterdam for a soccer match

these people were singing you know just racist chants talking about like the like death of Palestinian people very flippantly they were like assaulting people tearing down Palestinian flags around the city when people responded to that and in turn they became sort of like a you know like people throwing punches and shit. We then immediately saw this, the media apparatus go into, there are like pogroms happening in Amsterdam as we speak, completely removing the fucking context of what was happening. And you saw, you saw mainstream outlet after mainstream outlet just completely parodying this total misinformation.

It was the day or a day or two after the election results. And yeah, it seemed like a yeah, it's amazing how much the mainstream media has managed to completely ignore the any possibility that the dampened turnout for the Democratic Party, the fact that they performed worse with young voters than they have in their memory. Right. Than ever. Yeah, than maybe ever. That those things could possibly be connected to the genocide that they're not allowed to talk about.

And so they're trying to manufacture something to make it so they don't have to talk about that. So yeah, that story was pretty wild. And by the way, Biden, awesome look, you know, he's just, what do you mean? We're soft on it, we're not pushing back on Israel. We're gonna do this thing, not doing it. And then he issued a statement about the, you know,

soccer hooligan rampage. Where horrible things were said on both sides, but that was not how it got reported. No, no, no. It was purely like these people were just there for a soccer game and then they got rolled up in the streets for what? Yes. Without mentioning that they were attacking like taxi drivers and things like that. So anyway, the other here we go. More fucked up news. It's happened. That was the pad from the right. that was the pad from the right.

That was one pad from the right. Here's another pad from the far right. RFK has been tapped to head health and human services. Okay, there it is. It happened. It happened. We're smart enough to know how bad that can get. Let's not be too focused on that.

We get it. We get it, fucking yikes. I mean, we be too focused on that. We get it. We get it fucking yikes. I mean we will be focused on it it's I hit so bad, but I I don't know we're at a loss for words. I mean, here's the thing right appointment after appointment coming from the Trump Administration 2.0 has been fucking just mind-blowingly bad. But that's also the point. It's a big fuck you to everyone in every way. So it's like, oh, you like science? Guess who's running health and human services? Mr. Fucking Brain Worms

McWailfuck is now going to be the czar of vaccines and firing people from the National Institute of Health. You have a sexual predator who's under an ethics investigation because of his penchant for trafficking minors is in the top cop spot as attorney general and Matt Gaetz. And you know, you have someone who people are like, like, is this person a Russian asset is now heading up intelligence at DNI and Tulsi Gabbard. Yeah. It's again, everything are like, is this person a Russian asset is now heading up intelligence at DNI in Tulsi-Cabert? Yeah. It's again, everything is like, fuck whatever you thought was gonna happen, it's not this.

Again, I think it's just important to note that these people are not in the jobs because they have some kind of experience or vision for these departments. All of the policies have been predetermined by the Heritage Foundation at all. And the other people who are like the real sort of influencers within Trump's orbit that are talked about or not talked about enough. So these are basically going to be these people are just merely the faces of the cruel policies we're going to see. They don't need experience because that's not the point. These people are political oven mitts.

You know how like when you pick up something hot, you don't necessarily need an oven mitt. You're like, well, that's not an oven mitt. That's not good point. These people are political oven mitts. You know how like when you pick up something hot, you don't necessarily need an oven mitt. You're like, well, that's not an oven mitt. That's not good for the jobs. Like, well, it's a towel that's preventing my hand being burned. And that's all it needs to be. Although sometimes I pick up the wrong towel and then we're in trouble and then all the cookies get dropped. Oh, don't wake it like a wet one.

Because that that would transfer the heat much quicker. I did learn that very quickly as a kid. Maybe a too thin one. Oh, OK. Maybe a t-shirt. A tissue. Yeah, right. A paper towel as Super Producer Victor said. And like, again, a lot of people say, well, good luck confirming these people. Now there are some people who think that, oh, this is this is Trump's way he's going to humiliate Matt Gaetz because Matt Gaetz, again, he resigned immediately to avoid an ethics investigation from fully showing their findings. They can still release a report, but some people are like, oh, he's setting this up so he can get totally interrogated during his confirmation hearing about the things that he's done.

I don't think, I don't necessarily think that's going to happen. There's a lot of talk from the GOP, especially senators who are like, I'm shocked by some of these picks. Miss me with all this shit. This is the same playbook from 2017 when people like Susan Collins were like, I'm alarmed at this decision, but I will vote for it. And you know, you're hearing stuff

like Tommy Tuberville is already threatening other senators. Like if you don't get in line and support Trump's picks, then it's gonna be trouble for you and maybe you'll be out and Again, there's also talked to about recess confirmation or recess appointments. That's really wonky talk for normally Obviously the Senate is the body that confirms judges and cabinet appointees Obviously the Senate is the body that confirms judges and cabinet appointees. Now if they think that some of these people are beyond the pale and can't get the votes they need to actually get to be confirmed, then Trump can basically adjourn the Senate on his own and completely circumvent their sort of constitutional oversight power to

push his own nominees through. So that would get called fascist by the mainstream media, Miles. Yeah, it would. Or I don't know. Or they'd say it's unprecedented. I don't know. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe just unprecedented. So yeah. Anyway, brace yourself. I'm sure more wacky, wacky picks are going to be out there. The one thing, you know, I'm, I try and remind myself is, is like the huge thing about authoritarians is they have to project a ton of power and have people as scared as possible and these picks do that. But I but we just prepare steal yourselves as they stay.

Steal yourselves. Yeah. For it's for for what's to come. Yeah. It feels like he's high on his own supply. He's like people told me not to do certain things during my campaign and I did them and I won. And therefore, everything I say from here on out is going to be the right call. And that's the most you can pray for, like without actual, you know, full on organizing massive

demonstrations or something like that is that his ego completely gets in the way. But whatever that's also magical thinking at this point. Yeah. On the democratic side, I've just seen more frustrating bullshit. Like one of the narratives I'm hearing is this was, I mean, we talked about the pod save guys being like, this was like a inevitability because the, of the backlash to inflation that followed COVID and actually the one added detail that I'm starting to see now is, uh,

actually they did like really good compared to like what you would expect from internet, like other cases of incumbents, like incumbents got wiped out around the country, like the other nations nations to rate yeah other and yeah sorry in other nations and it I don't know I'm just trying to like get my head around what a successful realignment of the Democratic Party is going to look like because it is not gonna look like the New York Times like the mainstream media all the sudden being like we were wrong the sudden being like, we were wrong. The democratic establishment being like, we were wrong and changing.

It's going to look like, um, you know, somebody having the right set of beliefs and strategy, uh, the New York Times and the DNC making fun of them. Uh, and then that person suddenly performing better than anybody expected, the primaries or, you know, whenever it happens. Like, they are going to reject good ideas and like ideas for, you know, changing the direction of the mainstream party and the mainstream media like a peanut allergy. Yeah. As the DNC will no doubt reject any idea or form of thinking that would hold themselves accountable, I think voters also have to be just as steadfast in rejecting whatever the Democratic Party is going to offer. It was wokeism.

Yeah. And from that schism, whether it creates more room for a third party to get more votes that they have to actually sort of listen to you know Progressive ideas who knows but I think that the first step is like I'm sorry youth Are you the aren't aren't you the guy in the hot dog suit? Right I crashed the car the hot dog car in here. It's yeah that they're successfully like not talking about the electoral implications of like their stance towards student protesters and the genocide in Gaza when they got a lower portion of the youth vote than it like that.

It's just like such an obvious story. Their ability to ignore it is actually like that's all you need to know about how well right stream media operates because again they're they're firefighters who can't use or talk about water they actually don't know what exists they're barred from doing enough enough enough we gotta talk about this fuckable snowman movie we'll take a quick break and we'll be right back. Fuckable Snowman. Fuckable Snowman. My name is Brandon Kyle Goodman. I'm a black gay non-binary author, TV writer, actor, and I'm messy. But not in the way you think. Messy as in I'm human and flawed.

I'm on a mission to destroy shame around sex. And the only way to do that is to talk about sex. So that's what we'll do on my brand new podcast, Tell Me Something Messy. Okay, let's play this messy round of smash or pass. Okay, here it is. Smash or pass. Spit play. I don't know. I don't know how I feel about bodily fluids being on me unless it's... Oh! Ha ha ha! Because we're doing the pull-out method. We're living on the edge.

Oh, my God! I was not expecting that. Baby, like I always say, if you know how to work that body, that sexualness, and that heart, you're unstoppable. Embrace your power. That's really what we're going to do on this show. Join me on Tell Me Something Messy with brand new episodes every Thursday on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts. And we're back.

Yes. Fuckable snowman. Won't you save me? And this is what I'm talking about. Like it's gonna at first it's gonna look a little silly, but then and people, maybe the mainstream Democratic party is going to make fun of them. But the fuckable snowman is here to save us. I've lost my mind. I'm I distract them got

Can't you see Instead of a peepee I give you UTI man. Yeah Well, all right dirty down. I'm gonna ask how it all right just making They come out of the ground. Yeah. Okay. All right. This is not an experiential thing, or this isn't like an anecdote from from sticking a carrot in my pee hole. Yeah, parachute.

What has this show become? It doesn't matter. Like, honestly, this is when we're at our best. This is what I'm about to end full on just delirium. Yeah, I've been I think you were out when we were talking about. Yeah, I missed the I think it was probably maybe and I were hosting that day. But yeah, look, I love a holiday movie. I love a terrible holiday movie.

Add horny to that and work. You've got three because this one's apparently good. The review, right? Hot Frosty Review, Lacey Chabert, Chabert. Yeah, Chabert, Lacey Chabert. Shea Bear. Yeah. Shea Bear Lacey Shea Bear trades fruit cake for beef cake in Netflix's heartwarming holiday romp. Is that a good review? I don't know. That's like a description, right?

You know, it's like frosty might look like fun festive fluff, but it deals with a complex female fantasy. Stylist dot co dot UK, where I go for all my. Thank you, stylist. Hot Frosty is good for your mental health, says me from Nashville. I like the headline. But yeah, apparently it succeeds on its own goofy terms and even deals with a complex female fantasy. I just watched the trailer.

I was behind the times. And this explains a lot for anybody who was like, why does Jack seem like different? Why, why is he so on board with the seltzer pole? It's because I hadn't seen the hot frosty movie trailer and I was just like out of touch with the zeitgeist. Yeah. But yeah, 100% of the reviews so far, not enough to get an official rotten tomato score because there's only eight and

40 are needed for a streaming movie to get a score posted. But 100% of the reviews so far are fresh or positive. Yeah. I don't know what, like I watched the trailer. First of all, no surprise to those of us who have been arguing that Christmas, the Christmas holiday is actually about sex. It's it is factually humanity's mating season. The number one season for birthdays is early September, which comes nine months after we're here.

The holiday season. All those weird old horny alcoholic anthems of the 40s, they're a little outdated and due to be replaced by more and hornier Christmas content. Yeah, with consenting horniness. Yeah. Not like the other ones, it's like, hey, it's cold outside. Hey, where the fuck are you going?

Where the fuck do you think you're going to it? Yeah, it's a yeah, we need we need new traditions. So I think it's a good way to completely deemphasize the religious aspect of it and just make this be like, it's kind of this is the new this is the new Valentine's Day. Actually. Yeah, like, I honestly, and this is a take fueled by the fact that I watched love actually And I'm like, I don't know like what I must be different different species from people who like but I my theory is that it is driven by people just being like ah, finally a Horny movie about Christmas that's like mainstream.

I know they didn't invent it, but I feel like they made Christmas too chaste and like family values and the one family value it's about is fucking. Guess what? Can't have a family. You can't spell family without fuck. Well, you can't have a look. I'm workshopping it. I'm working on workshopping it. Anyways, I feel like we're about to see this trend go crazy I will say this appears to be one one of my favorite genres of movie to talk about that's always seemed

slightly weird to me which is everybody wants to fuck the person with the mind of a child big was a several wow Yes, like literally it's just great body of an adult brain of a child Yeah, obviously, you know mannequin elf who could forget mannequin Yeah, who can who can forget and this is another one where it's just like this persons of real That the only options are either they just came to life via magic the other day or traumatic brain injury. Right.

Yeah. Fair. Fair. Should we get the last one? You want to? I mean, we've, we've, we've had this kind of on the, on the back burner for a while. It's worth talking about just because at least for me personally, look, there's a,

there's a study out this on CNN. Apparently you shouldn't be on your phone on the toilet because they say, don't be on the toilet for more than 10 minutes, more than how the fuck do I get a break? Okay. My baby, he knows how to open doors. I have to like, it's wild. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean mean I think people with young kids know it's like sometimes that's Even on the toilet. He's just crouching in here He's hiding by the shower curtain looking at reddit or some shit But yeah, apparently they're saying for like again. This is according to the CNN study out look

I've been sitting on I've done 20 minute solos on the toilet 30 minute solos okay sometimes and I got the squatty potty but hey sometimes I just I get I get distracted they say quote first here's a short physics lesson gravity keeps us grounded on earth but the same gravity also forces the body to work harder to pump blood back up to the heart the open ovalshaped toilet seat compresses the buttocks, keeping the rectum in a lower position than if you were sitting on the couch. With gravity pulling the lower half of the body down, the increased pressure affects your blood circulation. It becomes a one-way value where blood enters, but blood really can't go back. As a result, the veins and blood vessels surrounding the anus and lower rectum

become enlarged and engorged with blood increasing the risk of hemorrhoids. Okay. One thing I'll say to that, CNN, you haven't seen me sit on the couch. Okay. So, I get my ass all the way down in there. All the way, it's on the ground somehow. I'm negating the cushion with my posture.

I mean, I think, have you, I mean, are you a long, do you, are you quick? You quick with it? I used to be longer. I've, uh, I've had to speed up. That's for sure. I don't have that. It used to be a luxury. The one thing I, I do realize is like, yeah, when I have my phone, it goes

longer, I feel like I should, we should bring back the magazine rack by the toilet and just read the same thing. It's gross. The. It's just it is one of the just great unstated, like disgusting things about our modern world. I also think it's interesting that they're like, yeah, so you know how we all carry a device around in our hand that just like makes time disappear,

just like turns us into like junkies who have just tied off. Don't do that on the toilet. That's bad for your health. It's like, you might get hemorrhoids. People are also driving with that thing. Like it's really, maybe the problem is the, you know, dopamine delivery device that we're all carrying around in our hands. It's these bias studies, Jack, that I feel like are a personal attack on me.

And the other people like to look at their iPad on the toilet. You know what I mean? But your asshole's going to be disgusting. We're doing all right. It's getting better. Do you just remember like the magazine rack? Like how, or like you would have a loo. I remember we had like, when I was a kid, there would be like, um, we had a

scale like near the right near the toilet But that was basically where we would stack up all the magazines because no one was using the scale I was using the scale and I would basically read like the same issue of sports illustrated that had like the Cincinnati Reds owner Marge shot on the cover like years and just be like, I don't know. Maybe something's changed in here Yeah, it was like that was a weird swimsuit issue. The March shot edition. It was, it was. So you didn't weigh yourself before and after. No, no, I've, I've always thought about that.

It's never ended up doing it. Okay. It's not, it's not as big a difference as you would think. Yeah, right, right, right. I max out at 25 pounds. What's your max? What are you maxing? Oh, me?

Probably like 25 on bench. Oh no, I thought you meant. Oh no, sorry. What's your max? What are you maxing? Oh me? Probably like 25 on bench? Oh no, I thought you meant... Oh no, sorry, I thought you were talking about something different. Yeah. Oh jeez. Alright, that's a good place to leave it for today. Leave them laughing.

We are back tomorrow with the whole last episode of the show. Until that time, be kind to each other. Be kind to yourselves. Get the vaccine. Uh, we are back tomorrow with the whole last episode of the show until that time. Be kind to each other. Yeah. Be kind to yourselves. Yeah. Get the vaccine.

Yeah. Your flu shots. Yeah. Especially now more than ever folks get your vaccines, get them while they got them. Get them out of there. Hot. How is he really going to go toe to toe with big pharma? Yeah, that is one.

Like this, this is the horrible thing about the Trump administration Is that it always makes me root for the worst? Yes, CIA come on Pfizer come on Pfizer Do I come on come on FBI of root if you were really doing the shit that they talked about in the fugitive You'd be better right now. You know, I mean, where's the one-armed man? They're on right now. You know what I mean? So where's the one-armed man? Pfizer. It wasn't me.

Be kind to each other. Be kind to yourselves. Get the vaccine. Don't do nothing about white supremacy. And we will talk to y'all tomorrow. Bye. Bye. My name is Brandon Kyle Goodman. I'm a black, gay, non-binary author, TV writer, actor, and I'm messy.

But not in the way you think. Messy as in I'm human and flawed. I'm on a mission to destroy shame around sex. And the only way to do that is to talk about sex. So that's what we'll do on my brand new podcast, Tell Me Something Messy.
