It's gray. The smoke is still in the air. Is the word pronounced acrid?
Starting point is 00:05:54 Acrid? It's acrid. Yeah. Okay. I was thinking of this because I said it, I think, out loud on a show and someone was like, I think he's saying it wrong. I realize how many mispronunciations I got from teachers in elementary school like oh yeah vocab test being like and this is a crid yeah okay you go around saying that someone's like what the fuck do you say i'm like shut up miss loud wasn't lying well elementary school teachers are are definitely the least
Starting point is 00:06:20 the least smart teachers that's why that's why they go into elementary school that's not to say that they're not great teachers i mean but i like i went to school uh for just a hot second to get a multiple subject teaching credential so i could teach elementary school because i'm stupid as shit and i did not want to like be challenged by like some really smart middle schooler or high schooler so i was like i'll go to elementary school and i you know i'll be the smartest person probably you know on campus like everyone would be like damn he's so smart he can smell he can he can spell all of the numbers you know yeah like but yeah this is impressive in it exactly they don't know that but the stench in the la air is just to honor mrs lau a crid
Starting point is 00:07:06 it is a crid or acrid but yeah it's like for anybody who is like has ever been to or grew up in a country where burning trash is normal that's what i flashed back to when i went outside today i was like wait hold on where are we are we okay no this is okay it's just the earth i can smell it inside of my apartment. And I thought my apartment was on fire for a second. But then I was like, oh, no, it's fine. It's just all of the West Coast. Just earth.
Starting point is 00:07:33 Yeah, that's fine. But again, great for some sun watching. You can just stare right at the sun. You can look right at it. It's great. You won't even sneeze. Yeah. Or if you do, it'll be from all the particulate matter
Starting point is 00:07:45 in there are you photosensitive sneezer me yeah that's how i if i if i need to get a sneeze off real quick just go to my boy helios up there apollo whatever the fuck just like get it hook it up hook it up with a sneeze real quick my dad is a photosensitive sneezer, and he made me feel like there was something wrong with me because I'm not. He was like, wait, you don't know. What? No, yeah, everybody sneezes. You just have to, like, when the sun hits you. Oh, is that why you're wearing those thick sunglasses for that while when you got back from vacation?
Starting point is 00:08:20 Because you were looking at the sun too much? Yeah, I was trying to prove to my dad that I was a man. got back from vacation because you're looking too much yeah i was trying to prove to my dad that i was a man um anyways matt we're gonna get to know you a little bit better in a moment first we're gonna tell our listeners a couple of the things we're talking about uh we are going to talk about uh miles what you have termed the panic at the shit show yeah uh which is the president's response to uh all the bad shit that's coming out. We are going to talk about why you don't fuck with Connecticut football. The storied legacy of Connecticut football.
Starting point is 00:08:58 Yeah. Which, I mean, I guess, what's his name? Hernandez. Hernandez was from there, but that's really the only thing. Usually it's like Florida and Texas. But man, they tried to cancel Connecticut high school football, and they reacted like, whew, they were not happy. I would love to see what the other uprisings looked like
Starting point is 00:09:21 and see if there was this much energy for the high school football season as there was Black Lives Matter. But we'll have to do some digging and compare some photos but there was definitely a lot of energy we're going to talk about rick perry we're going to talk about a sneezing contest at sturgis speaking of sneezing uh we're going to talk about will c nelson as i call him willie nelson smoking a joint on the white house roof we have confirmation on that uh what some people might have thought was an urban legend uh from both sides of of that transaction uh we're gonna talk about netflix top 10 what we're watching uh all of that plenty more but
Starting point is 00:10:00 first matt we like to ask our guests what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are um well i was looking at a few things and uh one of the most recent things is i searched new rachel dolezal lady um oh yeah from george washington uh what i forget I forget where she's from, but her name is Jessica Krug. Yeah, Krug. And I did know her name, and I wanted to know everything about her. Because I saw it kind of blow up on Twitter. I saw videos of this white lady who was talking with the worst fake urban accent I think I've ever heard in my life. Oh, no. like i just heard it oh it's amazing fuck it is it like uh brad pitt when he's talking to jamaican woman and uh yeah
Starting point is 00:10:52 yeah she's just like every ting guanbi iry and i was like i gotta get the fuck out of here it is uh it was wild uh i just went down this rabbit hole of just every piece of new rachel doll is all lady content that i could get my hands on and uh i feel i feel for her man you know because it's like hey we've all been there you know we've all yeah well sure i remember in middle school um uh it was like one it was like the first week of sixth grade and uh i pretended to well what i did well what i did was i wore uh a flannel um but i just buttoned it at the top because i really wanted to fit in with like the cholo kids because those are the cool kids in middle school okay got you you were you were demurring some of the the swag yes yeah and so for like a few hours i was
Starting point is 00:11:45 like you know uh a fake cholo until i went up to this one kid i was like yeah what's up cuh and he said fool you're not my cousin and then i stopped immediately i thought he was a blood and he would have been like the fuck yeah they're like wait? What does that mean? No. I didn't know what it meant. But yeah, we've all done it. I mean, maybe mine only lasts about four hours. All my kids didn't wear a FUBU jersey and look real stupid at one point. You know what I mean? I remember being like, what the fuck is wrong with that? Or whatever, do you.
Starting point is 00:12:18 Yeah. I didn't realize she was really reading her bio, which has now been scrubbed. I had to find the cached version of her bio which has now been scrubbed i had to find the cached version of her bio at the george washington university or department of history columbian college of arts and sciences yeah she's done it all man she's like she she's one of those people who's like she's like right writing about you know the like uh western central africa different societies diaspora she's commented on hip-hop so i'm all i'm one do we know much about like how she got here because with dolezal just it was sort of like
Starting point is 00:12:52 one thing led to another like right yeah you know how long she's been frontin i know that's the thing i i couldn't find the information where because yeah with dolezal you had like the family come forward and show family pictures. There was even those videos that her ex made her, like those songs, right? Yeah. Oh, my God. Yeah. Anytime new Rachel Dolezal content drops, I'm just so excited.
Starting point is 00:13:21 But with her, with the new one, you don't see any... I haven't seen any childhood pictures or anything like that all i know is that she was uh a jewish girl from kansas a white girl who pretended to be kind of like uh i think like afro latina is where is is where she was going with it which is like girl like come on you're you're already a jew from kansas like right that's not special enough what is there like 20 20 jews and can't you can't just be a jew from kansas that's that's not special enough what is there like 20 20 jews and can't you can't just be a jew from kansas that's that's something you know well see but she did do north african so maybe she's trying to go you know like a little like sephardic vibes or something maybe you know what i mean it could be but you know i i it just uh it's unfortunate either way it's just a fucking bummer when you're like damn like you're gonna fake the funk to yeah do this like cosplay as an oppressed i mean like not to say
Starting point is 00:14:11 i knew everyone's where there's a hierarchy or whatever but like to go this far to be like i need to bolster my identity by fucking lying and going through this maze of identity it sucks because it's like there's i feel like there's nothing you can do about it because there was like discourse around it that was kind of like you know how did we let this happen you know y'all like like how did we let this person uh infiltrate and i was like well i think it it's like it's bad but i think it's worse if we start like allowing white people to question uh people of color's race credentials like that's right you know if someone if someone identifies as a person of color i'm not usually the guy who's gonna be like well you don't look how come you don't look that black i mean you know yeah you'd but you'd fit in with like 50 of the country yeah right yeah and it's just like so i'm like i think i think it's a
Starting point is 00:15:05 slippery slope the right thing to do is to not go around questioning everyone's race um and the downside of that american citizenship if they are a person exactly as soon as yeah we do yeah that's that's where you start it's all fucked up either way matt what is something you think is overrated i think that the power of shit posting on twitter is vastly overrated okay uh specifically um by it's overrated by the hashtag resistance people online and trump reply guys because i noticed that um every time i post like a joke about biden um and no matter usually they're like pretty lightweight jokes about them you know right uh i'll see posting the news that in six swing states there's a majority of people that find both trump and
Starting point is 00:15:57 biden unfit mentally to service yes exactly and and it's fucked up yeah the and the mess up thing about is that like if you post jokes about biden uh you'll always get like a handful of hashtag resistance people who are just like wait until after the election to make jokes about biden this is too important and i realize that the reason that they're saying this is because these guys think that their epic dunks on Trump are a very powerful weapon. Right. Yeah. They think like, listen, you have to wield this power responsibly. All right.
Starting point is 00:16:36 When we call him the orange menace, like it's we're days from taking him down. We're taking a vote for a guy who we've compared to a cheeto for yeah how can you vote for him we've we called him mango mussolini there's alliteration yeah he's done there is such a thing like because you can tell with the kind of um like tweets that really get that sort of viral traction it'll be like the lamest sentiments that really is, not even a dunk, but a layup, very standard layup, not even a reverse, just a standard layup, and it'll just be like a quote tweet of the president
Starting point is 00:17:15 and just being like, someone's freaking out, and it's like three million retweets. You're like, come on, man. Whatever. But I think that's everyone sort of looking at it from their own perspective. It's like Star Wars. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:26 They honestly think that like this is a very, very important and powerful tool. And therefore, if you are dunking on Biden, they're like, this is counteracting our dunks on Trump. And it's like, no, you and me, we're both impotent. And as soon as you realize that, the better off we're going to be. It's just like you got to stop thinking that your dunks on Trump are going to have any effect. Because they are not. Dunk locally. Dunk locally.
Starting point is 00:17:56 Yeah, put that energy into phone banking and doing something. Dunk at your local park. You know what I mean? On your local alderman or city council person whatever yeah exactly dunk locally dunk local think globally dunk locally exactly there you go what's uh what's something you think is underrated um i think that youtube reaction videos are vastly underrated they're so good reaction video or like okay go on like just the genre specifically with music the genre but there's a specific genre uh that i like and it's probably
Starting point is 00:18:33 the most problematic thing that i like um it's watching black people enjoy white people music is probably my favorite genre of reaction video it's like you know my first time listening to dolly parton's jolene and i just watching people go like damn this is a really good song and i'm just like yeah it was good right it's good or good yeah yeah watching there is like uh this black girl on youtube who listens to was like listening to pink Pink Floyd for the first time and it was bringing me back to when I listened to Pink Floyd for the first time and it was just like, I'm so glad we can connect
Starting point is 00:19:12 on this level. We're not so different. It's very problematic. It's the most boomer thing that I do. That helps you feel good about race relations. When I feel bad, I watch these videos and then I go, oh, I go right back to 93.
Starting point is 00:19:27 Yeah. Big X-Files. It's nice. But yeah, I like music reaction videos too, not for the same reasons as you do, but I think in similar reasons too. Like to see people, like when you see someone viscerally react to a good song, it feels so good.
Starting point is 00:19:44 It does. There's that dude there's uh who normally like rates rap albums it's like a pretty big video where he listens to evil empire for the first time like rage and he has to like pull his car over because he like wasn't aware of like zach's lyrics and shit he's like yeah hold on the same ones that work forces yeah yeah same that burn crosses yeah when did this album hold on yeah that's such a good one and then even when new songs i remember when the drake chicago freestyle video came out uh like like i think what at the end of february early march there were like a ton of reaction videos to it but there are parts where you can just see people hit like a melody hit them and like they have to pause it that's like one i don't know i want that
Starting point is 00:20:28 straight in my veins yeah it's nice it's nice when you get to enjoy someone's like earn like an earnest reaction there's a few fakers out there there's people pretending yeah they're just like wow i've never i've never listened to this this uh song hey uh by outcast before it's like you heard hey uh right there's there's no way you never heard hey yeah right they're like mouthing along you're like i want you in my caddy i mean i mean i guess i was just channeling it i'm just being honest yeah uh my i do not like the ones where they ask like millennials or gen z like have you heard of van halen they're like no and people like pa what a bunch of idiots yeah yeah yeah how could you this generation is is just trash they've they've never listened to hair metal and it's like that's
Starting point is 00:21:23 the reason this generation is better. They're like, nah, I listen to Led Zeppelin or Muddy Waters. You know, like all rock was stolen from black people, right? Yeah, and they're like, you're thinking way too hard about this. Gen Z kids, they want to ruin everything with awareness. What's a myth? What's something people think is true you know to be false or vice versa i think this is true based on some reporting uh and statistics that i've seen the myth is that the the left uh in america is responsible every time uh conservative wins because they quote don't vote for the democrat a more significant
Starting point is 00:22:07 amount of leftists always end up voting for the uh centrist you know democratic candidate every time i mean including like the actual communist party of the united states they always vote for the democrat just because there are people on Twitter who are like hashtag never Biden. Like it's, it's just, it pisses me off every time. Cause it's always just another way to blame the left for the fact that the democratic party continually runs people who don't get people excited to vote.
Starting point is 00:22:40 And at some point they got to take responsibility for the fact that they keep losing elections. Now, hopefully they don't lose this next one but if they do again it's not going to be the left's fault more uh in fact more centrists voted for hillary clinton or who voted for hillary clinton in 2008 in the primaries and lost to barack obama voted for john mccain than people who went you know from bernie to trump uh in 2016 so i think it's just that other thing too like it's like just like with the shit posts like a lot of people have like twitter is reality sort of vibe going on yeah and like they really look at twitter as a true slice of american pie like and like and that is the tone of the country uh when it really isn't
Starting point is 00:23:26 no because like it it really took me like to distance myself a little bit more and to just talk person to person to get an idea like your neighbor who lives across the street like the person the coffee place in your neighborhood and just honestly just be like hey man politics huh and just seeing how someone responds to that gives me a much better idea than when I go on and I see either Red Rose Twitter or hashtag resistance Twitter
Starting point is 00:23:51 or MAGA hat Twitter or blue hat Twitter, whatever icon du jour, emoji du jour Twitter there is. Yeah, so, you know, but I guess if that's purely the way reality is sort of formed, then yeah, I guess you would think that there is a disturbing amount of progressives or leftists that are going to sit this election out.
Starting point is 00:24:10 And that's why it's like going on Twitter and thinking it's real life is just poisonous in general because it's like it makes your entire ā€“ like everything that you do is going to be run through Twitter then. do is going to be run through twitter then and so your entire uh worldview is based on uh who you follow and who you uh you know uh hate follow you know and it's like right and everyone you follow will have the same response to an outsider's opinion that'll get quote tweeted and then you're like okay so this is how the lines are drawn yeah but you know in the end listen to your heart guys exactly i mean exactly You know what I mean? Exactly. All right, guys, let's take a quick break and 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. 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
Starting point is 00:25:12 stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today. And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore. The story of one strange and violent summer.
Starting point is 00:25:42 This is Rip Current, available now with new episodes every Thursday. 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.
Starting point is 00:26:04 You can't see it, taste it, or smell it. Suppliers mix fentanyl into their products because it's potent and cheap, 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.

Listen to The Bright Side from Hello Sunshine on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I've been thinking about you. I want you back in my life. It's too late for that.
Starting point is 00:27:23 I have a proposal for you. Come up here and document my project. All you need to do is record everything like you always do. One session. 24 hours. BPM 110. 120. She's terrified.
Starting point is 00:27:38 Should we wake her up? Absolutely not. What was that? You didn't figure it out? I think I need to hear you say it. That was live audio of a woman's nightmare. This machine is approved and everything? You're allowed to be doing this?
Starting point is 00:27:54 We passed the review board a year ago. We're not hurting people. There's nothing dangerous about what you're doing. They're just dreams. Dream Sequence is a new horror thriller from Blumhouse television iheart radio and realm listen to dream sequence on the iheart radio app apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts and we're back and there is a panic at the shit show uh trump did not want to cause a panic he was doing us a favor yep by uh calling the coronavirus a hoax uh and you know uh suppressing the response making the response bad to the coronavirus that was all part
Starting point is 00:28:48 of his attempt to avoid a panic i mean that's his whole thing he loves to not he wants to keep everyone calm he's known people up he's known as the chill president right nothing else like calming influence on on the yeah i mean we saw how he handled people talking about uh defunding the police and reinvesting in communities uh yeah it was very even-handed with that he didn't sort of conjure up imagery of uh black and brown folks coming to terrorize white neighbor oh oh no no okay not that one but the thing where he was trying to be really cool about you know changing uh access to affordable housing that way black and brown people don't invade your name okay um wait or the other one the other thing that he was talking about how um okay fuck it no this all he likes to do is make people fucking panic straight up
Starting point is 00:29:34 the worst thing is is that like um he he almost yeah he succeeded in a way he's like yeah no it's true the uh the good portion of the country is still not panicked even though we have 200 000 people dead we have 200 000 people who have died from this virus in six months and uh people still not panicking because they're like well it's not it's it's not like it's there's 300 000 people dead like we're gonna keep moving the goalposts to be like listen 50 percent of the country dying is nor it happens you know in europe during the black plague a third died so you know kind of doing better also a couple things look what the fed just did with interest rates right exactly because half the population died you can damn near have any fucking house you want in this country pretty cheap so i mean right granted there's the oligarch class has bought up 70 of the inventory you know after
Starting point is 00:30:29 the black plague there was actually an increase in labor rights because there was so few laborers left that is true if you think yeah that's 100 true i know which is the thing is like yeah it took all the people dying for them to be like sorry sorry, we kind of run shit now because the pool is so thin. Exactly. Except the Black Plague was more indiscriminate, whereas this plague kills specifically poor people and persons of color and yeah it's it's interesting that um you know the fact that as soon as that information came out that it was like disproportionately uh poor people and people of color people were like you know we're just gonna have to do herd immunity i was like oh that's weird that's uh that must just be a coincidence that uh this uh semi-genocidal uh you know coronavirus is uh now being you know allowed to run rampant through
Starting point is 00:31:27 our cities and yeah everywhere and again the wild thing is as this story evolves like everybody all this sycophantic shit heels have come to the fucking rescue to try and just dig this fool out but you know first i just want to start with the president, who this tweet, I mean, I think Kay's closed with this response from the president. His tweet, Bob Woodward had many quotes for many months. If he thought they were so bad or dangerous, why didn't he immediately report them in an effort to save lives?
Starting point is 00:31:59 Didn't he have an obligation to do so? No, because he knew they were good and proper answers calm no panic i don't know what the fuck that was but i agree yeah he's saying he said that's on bob woodward then so bob woodward actually killed everybody because he didn't how irresponsible i was being as the president yeah and worse he's like uh you know the reason he didn't is because everything's fine you know right so he knew it was fine if it was so bad then how come you didn't stop me earlier you're my daddy you're my daddy bob you should have told me if baby do wrong and you didn't so baby no learn lesson and baby kill fucking 200 000 people this fucking guy man and so you know
Starting point is 00:32:46 just a quick note about this recording too that came out the white house staff had been fucking screaming at trump to not speak to woodward they're like this guy man just you don't know what he's up to he's gonna be recording shit it's just not good he's like trust me i'm gonna i'm gonna stick to my aspartame filled gut on this one and i'm gonna fucking say that i think i know what i'm doing if anything it's gonna help me get my story out and so for the most part the white house staff didn't even have an idea of like when half of these calls even went down so they were totally fucking blindsided on wednesday when this shit came out yeah I mean this is the thing with him
Starting point is 00:33:26 being just so kind of such a loose cannon that like every other presidency you know the press office like this is just a good indicator of like why it's scary that he has these private conversations like Putin like people like that that are usually on the record uh and he's just like no no i've got this i've always trusted my gut yeah you know it gets me to great great positions like yeah i mean there's so many just like direct contradictions from like on january 28th the book notes that he was briefed by his national security advisor that quote this will be the biggest national security threat you face in your presidency on January 28th, on January 23rd. And then in May, he said, on January 23rd, I was told there would be a virus coming, but it was of no real import.
Starting point is 00:34:20 In other words, it wasn't, oh, we have to do something got to do something it was a brief conversation it was only on january 23rd um and if he was my daddy he should have told me but he didn't because i'm baby uh sean hannity also obviously had to come to this motherfucker's defense um there's a couple he has he has a couple angles uh do you want to hear a clip first you want me to redo quote first i want to hear a do you want to hear a clip first? Do you want me to redo quote first? I want to hear a clip. You want to hear a clip? Okay.
Starting point is 00:34:48 So let's listen to this one. How the fuck who let president Trump do this to himself? He's baby is sort of how he begins this. Why in the world would he do that? Well, tonight from a source who knows the answer to that mystery, Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina. It was Lindsey Graham who helped convince Donald Trump to talk to Bob Woodward. Lindsey Graham brokered that meeting.
Starting point is 00:35:13 Lindsey Graham even sat in on the first interview between Bob Woodward and the president. How'd that turn out? Now, remember, Lindsey Graham is supposed to be a Republican. So why would he do something like that? You'd have to ask him. But keep in mind that Lindsey Graham has opposed, passionately opposed, virtually every major policy initiative that Donald Trump articulated when he first ran, from ending illegal immigration to pulling back from pointless wars.
Starting point is 00:35:37 OK, hold on. I mean, this is where he's achieved the thing he's trying to do, which is get. Yeah. Which is to get people to forget that the president said he willfully obscured the threat of this pandemic and trying to be like, you know what the worst thing is? Lindsey Graham is kind of a backstabber, huh? Have you ever noticed that Lindsey Graham never supported the president early on? Can we talk about that instead the decision that they're absolving the president of making and putting on lindsey grant like there are two people in the world who have
Starting point is 00:36:12 like been primarily responsible for taking down a a sitting president they are woodward and bernstein he talks to one of them yeah he like that's and they're like i mean how is he to know that it's like dude and that guy and even and woodward looks like shit too for sitting on this also and like his like hand wringing about like well i was thinking maybe if it was gonna be after the election then i i couldn't do that but it's like well see this is where you started getting into like you needed this for a book but this is this is really some some really fucked up shit to kind of sit on although many people like so this is the other really dark shitty thing about this is like even though we have this recording it changed it fucking change doesn't change it changes nothing
Starting point is 00:37:02 that's why whenever people were like how could woodward sit on this evidence and it's just like all right let's say he releases it the day of what does it change it changes nothing people just kind of go like yeah no we all assumed he knew this was bad we all know that he knew that the virus existed and that when he said it was a hoax that it was just a way of riling up his base like it changes nothing the the fact that he's using it to sell books is is always gross but the the idea that like if we have known this earlier it's like yeah we knew this earlier we just have we have proof of it we knew this in january of 2017 yeah where this was fucking going we knew where it was going another great bit of just historical context that hannity uh just offers his listening public and viewing public is this one because you know if we're going to talk about
Starting point is 00:37:59 presidents who keep their fucking shit together don't blow their wad panicking during a fucking crisis. It's fucking FDR, okay? So this is what Hannity had to say. Did President Roosevelt fan the flames of misery? Did he call for panic and anxiety? No. He actually rallied a nation in a time of need. He focused on making Americans stronger
Starting point is 00:38:23 by staying positive, and he got to work, and he rolled up his sleeves. During World War II, with the country on the brink, FDR proclaimed, we have nothing to fear, but fear itself.
Starting point is 00:38:35 Did the media attack him? Of course not. So, what? Trump literally was like, we have nothing to fear, but George Soros, the Jews, the migrant caravan. Black people, BLM, fucking equality.
Starting point is 00:38:48 We have a lot to fear, people. I'm going to be real with you. Just the first part of the sentence, I don't know why I said it. It's fucked up, y'all. I'm not going to lie here. It's real fucked up out there. And then FDR mobilized the nation to all make huge sacrifices in order to- Fucking we were rationing food right
Starting point is 00:39:05 we're rationing milk to the point that we started like dying less of heart disease because we were rationing food so much we stopped eating ourselves to death uh but yeah we were willing to sacrifice because that was called leadership i'm surprised he didn't bring up a melania and eleanor comparison right oh yeah that would have fucking really iced it off um and then the editor of the fucking federalist or one of them uh molly hemingway this woman goes on and she even has like a even lazier fucking way to try and excuse all this which is sort of like what's the big deal you're really like bombshell listen to this one it's so she does it so casually though like you know that the tactic they're doing is to just be like if my face does if my face doesn't change and my emotions don't change as i talk about
Starting point is 00:39:57 something so objectively like objectively horrific then maybe people will take that energy on and look at this issue the same way so she she does it with a murderer's cool. And in general, I think people should be ready for this type of supposed bombshell to drop every couple of days because we're in the closing days of an election or the last couple months of an election and people are very interested in fighting President Trump. But I'm not sure this is such a big deal.
Starting point is 00:40:19 We already knew that President Trump thought this was serious. He closed the border. He created a task force. He declared a public health emergency. We already knew in March he was asked, why are you so optimistic about it or why are you downplaying it? And he said, I don't want to cause panic. I think that, in fact, if there were criticism to be had against President Trump,
Starting point is 00:40:36 it's that he didn't do enough to stop those people who tried to panic everything into shutdown. No, no, no. Hey. Wow. She really, she scooped that one out at the end that was something i mean you you the important thing to remember is that just because he didn't want to cause a panic it's the same thing with fdr it's like yes he didn't want to cause a panic and then he did something important he did did the actual rallying in the country. The thing that saved us from not.
Starting point is 00:41:08 Yeah, yeah. The second half of it is very important. You can't just be like, don't panic. Bye. Like, you got to do something. There's a second half to leadership. And it's the part where you lead. Right. Lead the people out of the fire. Not just say, don't panic. You're good. right there's a second half to leadership and it's the part where you lead right right lead
Starting point is 00:41:26 the people out of the fire not just say don't panic yeah you're good exactly the theater is on fire baby don't panic well it also leaves out the context right that's like at his first inauguration i think and that's basically saying look fam we all know the great depression is fucking us up yeah you know what i mean like so that acknowledgement's already there it's like it's a different being like yeah man it's fucked up we can all acknowledge it it's fucked up but we don't have to fear this because we can do something bigger trump is being the trump equivalent to this would be to take office in the midst of the great depression be like there's no depression at all and i think the
Starting point is 00:42:03 haters just want to say that to get you to hate your your country yeah it's a democratic hoax there is no dust bowl everyone's everywhere i go people are well fed the only dust bowls i've seen are the the guys just hitting angel dust it's just my favorite dust bowl it it really is you know the just the lack of context and just being able to like fling out these other presidents names as a way to defend this one's behavior is really uh it's something else so uh yeah the defense uh continues unfortunately sorry i just got sucked into a back and forth uh in the comment section of a uh a thing on the oregon fires i can't stop looking at the pictures from oregon and northern california uh but i you got enough comment black
Starting point is 00:42:54 hole right there yeah then i just got sucked into a comment black hole where uh somebody uh was pointing out that they're seeing people blame antifa for the fires and then somebody was blaming a uh a democratic mayor for uh pissing trump off so that he's not releasing funds uh they're like she should have stayed in her lane that's yeah wow yeah really it's really look at the world it's a mafia protection racket at this point the entire trump administration is just like oh it'd be a shame if uh if i just let the fires engulf your entire city the only way to stop that is to shut the fuck up and support me i mean he's he's a mafia monster yeah he really and he's a shitty he's like the cheddar bob of monsters accidentally bucked yourself in the leg at the club right exactly he's he's uh what you call
Starting point is 00:43:52 he's paulie walnuts from from the sopranos oh come on paulie's a proper guy listen paulie is great don't get me wrong but he's a fucking moron. He talks too much, and he is a coward, and he's not ever going to be in a position of leadership. Although this one is. I love how when the series ends, one of his last shots is just him with that reflective mirror getting a tan in front of Satri Allison. Yeah, and then the cat with Christopher Moltisanti's soul in it walks by.
Starting point is 00:44:23 Spoiler alert. Spoiler alert. Spoiler alert. Christopher turns into a cat. It really loses itself in the sixth season. Because of what happened to Cosette. It was just karma. It was meant to happen. Even though he thought she crawled under there for warmth.
Starting point is 00:44:37 No, he was smacked on heroin. That scene where they show up with the cat. That whole episode with the intervention with Elias Kodias as the interventionist. He's like, wait, aren't you blah, blah, blah? Weren't you caught stealing radios? And he's like, that was a long time ago. I'm a lot different now. Anyway, this isn't your podcast.
Starting point is 00:45:00 This isn't Pod Yourself a Gun, the Sopranos podcast. Season three coming out this week. But yeah, let's move on. Let's move on. Let's take a quick break and we'll come back and talk about Willie Nelson smoking a joint on top of the White House. 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.
Starting point is 00:45:42 And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore. The story of one strange and violent summer. This is Rip Current. revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore.

Starting point is 00:48:08 What was that? You didn't figure it out? I think I need to hear you say it. That was live audio of a woman's nightmare. This machine is approved and everything? You're allowed to be doing this? We passed the review board a year ago. We're not hurting people.
Starting point is 00:48:24 There's nothing dangerous about what you're doing. They're just dreams. Dream Sequence is a new horror thriller from Blumhouse Television, iHeartRadio, and Realm. Listen to Dream Sequence on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back uh and there's a new documentary out about jimmy carter's uh presidency uh and like how he was homies with like bob dylan and the allman brothers the whole time and people were just constantly like rolling through and playing like live shows on the white house lawn and it was apparently just a very fun time was jimmy carter secretly a really rad president and we just don't hear about it because he was like you know uh only a one-term and president and relatively ineffective yeah i think basically he was he was secretly like did the least
Starting point is 00:49:26 evil uh was not like about it when it came to like starting wars indiscriminately yeah um and he just kind of hit at the wrong time as the country was shifting towards fascism he was like he was he was too cool first time yeah too cool first. Let's put it that way. I mean, he threw up the first solar panels on the White House. He did. And Reagan took them shits right off. Yeah, boy. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:49:55 So one myth or kind of urban legend that I've been hearing for years was that Willie Nelson once smoked a joint on top of the white house while, while he was visiting the white house, which seems like, okay, I could see it maybe like happening at a party, like just like snuck away. So there's this new documentary about him being like this thoroughly like
Starting point is 00:50:18 Christian religious. Like I think he was a teetotaler, like didn't drink even though his brother was a public alcoholic like like a like they would book him as like a drunk funny person to have on various radio shows or various uh late night tv shows and he would just like, oh, I'm an alcoholic. This isn't funny. So in this new documentary about his presidency, Carter explains that Willie Nelson says
Starting point is 00:50:57 that his companion that shared the pot with him was one of the servants at the White House. That is not exactly true. It was actually one of my servants at the white house that is not exactly true it was actually one of my sons oh hell yeah that rules and so uh the documentarian finds chip carter jimmy carter's son at the time who was just like a teenager who like had good taste in music it was like this fucking rules man like Dylan's always hanging out like one of the one of the Allman
Starting point is 00:51:28 brothers like had dinner with them and then like played a concert for like three people in the White House like so anyways he was listening in as Willie Nelson was doing a show like for people in the White House and then
Starting point is 00:51:44 this is what he says. The date was September 13th, 1980. So Sunday will be the 40-year anniversary. Carter was in the thick of his re-election campaign against Ronald Reagan. That didn't go well in Iran. 52 American hostages had endured more than a year of captivity. Nelson was in the middle of a set at the White House. Recalls Chip. In the break, break i said let's go upstairs we just kept going up till we got to the roof
Starting point is 00:52:10 where we leaned against the flagpole at the top of the place and lit one up if you know washington the white house is the hub of the spokes the way it was designed most of the avenues run into the white house you could sit up and could see all the traffic coming right at you. It was a nice place up there. So, yeah, they just turned the roof of the White House into a fun place to get high. And now Don Jr. just does his coke farts up there. Oh, my God, man. Don, if you're going to keep farting, man, you got to take that upstairs, man.
Starting point is 00:52:42 That's so rad, man. I feel like there should be a book called We we were four years in power by tommy chong for four years dude the white house fucking red man gravity bong rips in the lincoln bedroom exactly sick i mean the people that played yeah this is like man like charles mingus i'm already like okay you got some good jazz vibes with the staples singers bob dylan bob dylan loretta lynn sarah von cecil taylor linda ronstadt share the line crosby stills and nash once dropped by the place unannounced like it was like that where fucking David Crosby's ass was like, Hey, man. Hey, is
Starting point is 00:53:30 Carter here? No, he's dealing with the Iran hostage situation. They said Carter made time for them. He was like, I'll call you back. I told him I'll call you back. He's like, I told him, I really respect you just one
Starting point is 00:53:45 second okay just six minutes okay guys three four it's getting to the point it's like what the his house in uh georgia had the most expensive sound system uh of like back when that was like a thing i mean it's still a thing but like the the way they describe it is pretty funny because it's all like you know wired and old school shit but they uh he really focused on the sound system he yeah he was an audiophile man yeah for him he would have been criticizing the sound quality of podcasts today if you were a younger person that's why he doesn't listen to him i think he gave that quote he's like it just it's missing something is what he says yeah if it was on vinyl i'd listen to podcasts if they were on vinyl yeah the first hipster president that fucking rules there's also a way to view it as like he was kind of a byway between the radicalism of the
Starting point is 00:54:42 60s and early 70s and the yuppie-ism of the 80s, since it was like, you know, during Nixon and Ford, it was, you know, the power was against the people. Yeah. And then he turned the White House into what the article calls a people's park. But, like, that ends up being the strategy
Starting point is 00:55:08 capitalism uses to infiltrate uh yeah is just like kind of co-op yeah exactly like becoming part of the thing bill clinton plays the saxophone and then passes like a monstrous crime bill right meaningless like you know you get meaningless culture points uh without uh any substantial material change to people's lives yeah that's why i like any good american i try not to look too deep into anything presidents do because it looks like it's all just a big bummer okay it is it is definitely electoral politics is a big bummer dude but i will say hey at least Carter didn't sign a crime bill you know what I mean like not doing terrible
Starting point is 00:55:50 shit at this point I consider to be almost like it's not just a win like that that's what angels do angels go into power and then they just don't do anything bad and I'm like you deserve to be get a sainthood for this.
Starting point is 00:56:05 Yeah. Don't indiscriminately kill people. How does he do it? Yeah. All right, guys. Let's talk about meth real quick because this is just kind of a, I think we've talked about the fact that Goldberg from the Mighty Ducks, like, you know, has been spotted.
Starting point is 00:56:22 He had a bit of a problem. Yeah. He went down a deep spiral of meth addiction. And the photographs are truly the most shocking before-after pictures I think I've ever seen of him looking like a broken 80-year-old man. But there are new pictures where he's 238 days sober oh nice this friend of his has just been like trying to help him like letting him sleep on his couch like get starting a go fund me to like help get him help uh he just got some new uh veneers put in. And it's wild. Like the fact that meth can, you know,
Starting point is 00:57:07 make you look like a president on time-lapse, like, you know, age you decades in a year, I think is well-established, but it's wild that like, he looks like he just like turned back time. His face is no longer like crumpled.
Starting point is 00:57:21 Oh, that's good. Well, yeah, he gained some weight. It's just, yeah, the whole arc of
Starting point is 00:57:25 it is really it's really tragic because apparently he's all kicked off by his like parents death yes and it just kind of completely lost track and also man i don't know a single person who acted as a child who i mean it's got out unscathed yeah it is rare uh doing being a child actor and not coming out the other end with some type of issue or anything uh so yeah yeah it's it's it's sad to to see like the amount of callousness too that we have towards child actors because i think there's like a little bit of resentment that everyone has when it comes to famous kids because you're like oh you think it's so fucking like everyone's jealous of children and then uh they you know you start actively hoping for their downfall it's just a sick part of our culture where once and then when you see it you're just
Starting point is 00:58:17 like yeah right yeah that's what happens dude that's what happens when you you know do do a good job do better than me. Fuck you. And then now I think people are starting to see the inherent sickness of the Hollywood system when it comes to kids. And my hope is that some of this Me Too energy that has happened the last few years comes out. And we start just purging Hollywood of all of the, just the ghouls. Predatory ghouls. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:51 Yeah, the ones who have been, like, abusing children for a long time. Anyway, so I've been reading a lot about this guy Q. Yeah, yeah. You said those drops are really cool, right? Like, you have an app when it comes out. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I get a lot of Q drops. Did you watch that HBOwood kid or what are the it was about the kids acting the young like no i haven't seen it it's it's really good it's it's really interesting because it like
Starting point is 00:59:14 follows a few different people uh at different points in their career like whether it's evan rachel wood or like mara wilson or even like kids who are right now trying to get into acting and like it shows you like how some people like were like you know i was kind of lucky like i only had to do miss this amount of school here and there and it was okay other people were like i completely didn't know who i was as a person because i was told to dress a certain way be a certain place like deal was yeah that's it but it was a very interesting uh insight into to all of that but yeah it was emma richard wood a child actress i think so yeah yeah i think she was in the wasn't she in 13 wasn't it yeah oh wow that's wild yeah and and like uh i mean there are some child actors who continue acting i mean leonardo dicaprio and whatnot but i i think yeah it's fair to say that leonardo dicaprio is probably super fucked up i don't know dude just because he likes to
Starting point is 01:00:11 fuck with airpods in yeah listen noise canceling headphones oh yeah i like to have sex with airpods in and just kind of like scroll through turn it into like a sensory deprivation tank yeah another person who happens to be in there, but you're trying to keep them locked out. You're like, oh, keep going. I'm about to blow a cloud. Let me vape. I'm like, oh, fuck.
Starting point is 01:00:35 This was the opposite of what I thought fucking Leonardo DiCaprio would be like. Yeah. I feel like that's why Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, that version of him that's so fragile. I feel like all actors have some of that. Oh, yeah. Oh, you can. I mean, your entire sense of worth is based on someone telling you you're good enough via casting.
Starting point is 01:01:00 And something that's so intangible that it would be just as easy for somebody to be like dude you're a joke like you you are so ridiculous and people probably have so it's just like oof brutal well i am out next week uh so i want to do a netflix rewatch top 10 of a series so that when I come back, we can talk about a series. Wow. So you're going to go in the lab and you're going to digest one of these series? Yeah. Series? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:39 Okay. So that's my plan. Okay. We'll see how it goes. That's my plan. Okay. We'll see how it goes. So I pulled the top 10 shows on Netflix.
Starting point is 01:01:51 They have a bunch of different lists, but the ones that keep showing up, Avatar The Last Airbender, which people have been telling me to watch for a while. Me too, yeah. Started that, and it is good. It's definitely a children's show, which is probably going to get me just you know just shouted at but uh it's pretty dope it was like i've only watched a few of the
Starting point is 01:02:12 episodes um ozark i feel like is one that i've had so many people whose taste i don't fully uh vibe respect respect tell me that it's like the best show it's not the best show and then i've been telling you man and other people be like yeah it's just like breaking bad for you know an accountant or whatever yes accountant yeah exactly um and then cobra kai which is the one that has recently started i just started that last night how is it oh it's so good dude oh really wow so good yeah i love karate kid man exactly if you love karate kid you'll love cobra kai because guess what they got clips of karate kid in the pilot and the the premise is so good that i am just thankful that this wasn't just a stupid
Starting point is 01:03:08 funnier die like sketch that they did yeah because like the premise it was at one point didn't ralph macho do a funnier die thing like that i mean that sounds like something that like it felt like something i was like odds or 10 2010s viral video mind being like i think there was yeah it feels like like the premise lends itself to something like that and then when you're watching it you're like oh this is so much better than just doing a stupid kind like doing an earnest uh take on the future of johnny from cobra kai is like it's beautiful and yeah oh it's it's so good it's so good all right so it's between cobra kai and avatar i think i'm gonna watch avatar for sure and try to get to cobra kai
Starting point is 01:03:55 so you don't respect my taste is all i'm hearing that's what i heard that's all i heard way of saying fuck you matt yeah fuck you matt i'm not, fuck you, Matt. I'm not going to watch stupid Cobra Kai. I'm going to watch a kid's show. That sounds stupid to me. I'm going to watch a kid's show. I was just thinking about all the shit I'm going to get if I just leave it at, that's a kid's show. Avatars for kids.
Starting point is 01:04:19 Yeah. But the themes. The themes. The themes are mature. Yeah. More nuance, man. Talk about different countries and cultures. But the themes! The themes are mature!

And she goes on IG live. She is hilarious to me. Uh, and, but she's also a fantastic singer songwriter.
Starting point is 01:09:51 This track is called backseat. And again, even like her work right now, her last album, shea butter baby has like really dope callbacks, like old school hip hop samples, but like re-imagined to be R and B. So it's not like using the exact same thing.
Starting point is 01:10:09 So you'll recognize like the Woo Ha Got You All In Check sample, but slowed down a little bit so it can be sung over a little bit. And like, so she's a great vibe. Please get into her work. Shit didn't believe she's from D.C. Shout out D.C. This track's backseat. And, you know, again, sample bass, grooves, fantastic lyrics,
