Yes. The latest showdown. First, Mandy Patinkin is the latest sex off. Yeah. We finally find ourselves on the different end of the spectrum here.

We do. I'm team Mandy. Not strongly. I just think Elliot Gould is really hot in that The Long long goodbye is that what that's called yeah doesn't matter mandy patinkin all the way doesn't matter doesn't matter don't matter i don't care i don't care all right should we tell the people what's trending besides uh horniness for elliot gould and mandy patinkin. Yeah, what else? What else? That one, by the way, Gould is winning by a narrow margin.

Oh, okay. So if you're a Patinkin head, go find the poll on Twitter and do your best. Make sure your voice is heard. Yeah. Fox News, new lineup just dropped. The Drudge Report did a siren blaring scoop on wednesday uh announcing that um yeah it's basically what we thought sean hannity is going to take over at 8 p.m

and who's that who's that spot is that tuckers yeah that was tucker okay so i always assumed hannity was like equal to t, but apparently like the real spot, the real good spot is like eight because their audience goes to bed like eight 30 30. Yeah. So like that's sleepy time. That is sleepy time tea for Xenophones. Yes.

Um, so now that's Sean Hannity and then Jesse waters and gut fell, uh, scream it out and moved to wait. So gut felt we'll have his late night show and a primesse waters and gutfeld scream it out he moved to wait so gutfeld will have his late night show and a primetime spot or gutfeld is i'm assuming they're moving gutfeld into primetime got it got it got it that's not a good look for them in the primetime we're gonna have the worst talk show on our news channel it's like yeah they further but i mean they have always said that whole area that of the schedule is entertainment so maybe they just they're like yeah this is this is what

we do yeah it'll be like they're the daily show i guess sure so great and then tucker will be entertaining us youngsters on twitter those people under the age of 65 exactly can't wait i can't wait what the fuck elon musk has really like obviously we've known he has lost we've loved him but this is too much now yeah now now he's openly anti-semitic yeah he's just a fucking racist these you know he's out here fully on this shit there's no there's no like intellectual cover for this like it is what it is but it is what tis surprised like where's the news reporting about that or they they value their gold check marks on twitter too much to report that shit uh bad week bad day for ron desantis so first of all donna deegan just won

the mayoral election in jacksonville uh becoming only the second democrat to ever be elected mayor of florida's biggest city at least in the past three decades miami i had no idea yeah jacksonville is florida's biggest city by double. Wow. Its population is almost a million. Miami is like 400,000. That blew my mind. Yeah.

Blew my mind. I just go by and I'm like, well, they got more sports teams. Right. I have that kind of logic where I'm like, nah, man, the cities with the sports teams have the biggest populations ever. That's how it works. It's not the Jacksonville heat. DeSantis backed the Republican candidate, obviously, Daniel Davis. People did not vote for him.

They voted for Donna Deegan, a Dem. deegan a dem uh somebody who they they really like tried to you know emphasize that she had gone to black lives matter protests and a local sheriff warned people that she would uh install scary radical policies and people this place will be san francisco if you're not careful i think it was like one of the refrains from the right. And that race didn't seem to work. So, yeah, I don't know.

And also he got involved in a Kentucky gubernatorial election and he like backed a Republican candidate against a Trump backed candidate. And people were like, Ooh, now we're going to see who really, yeah. DeSantis. And he got his ass whooped

there too so yeah and it was wild too they kept trying to hit this uh like deegan on this like oh she's gonna gut the police force but she never really even said that um and that that she's a democrat she's not yeah she's not gonna get the police force i'd love to the police it's not a socialist yeah anyways uh shout out out to Jacksonville though. Jacks. Good for Jacksonville news. Uh, the,

or like, what was it? I don't know. They had like some action news. Action Jackson. Action. Yeah. It was action news.

Jacks. Oh, okay. I was like, y'all could have done better than that. You should have respected the work of the great Carl Weathers and come up with an Action Jackson. Play on the name of your local news program. They tried.

They tried. Let's see. There's depressing statements from Dianne Feinstein claiming she hasn't been gone when asked about her lengthy absence from the Senate. No, I've been here. I've been voting. Oh, no, no, no. Diane. Oh, God. Just please,

someone, figure it out. She doesn't need to be doing this anymore. She doesn't even have a functional memory to know when she's working. What the fuck? Whatever. It's grim. But we need those votes right now in the Senate.

And we don't know how to talk her out of this because this is it's just just like we were talking about, I think, earlier this week when we first talking about this story. Just a bad, bad situation and just underlines all the ways we fall short, especially even like with the with legislators like this. You got the senate set up so the older you are like the better positions you'll have for chairmanships or to be chair of certain committees and um come on let's just let's just set these little age limits or term limits because people don't need to be out here this long yeah uh all right let's take a quick break and we'll be right back in a galaxy far far away no babe that's taken we're in our own world remember right in our own world we're two space cadets and totally normal

It was December 2019 when the story blew up. In Green Bay, Wisconsin, former Packers star Kabir Bajabiamila caught up in a bizarre situation. KGB explaining what he believes led to the arrest of his friends at a children's Christmas play. A family man, former NFL player, devout Christian, now cut off from his family and connected to a strange arrest. I am going to share my journey of how I went from Christianity to now a Hebrew Israelite. I got swept up in Kabir's journey, but this was only the beginning. In a story about faith and football, the search for meaning away from the gridiron, and the consequences for everyone involved. You mix homesteading with guns and church and a little bit of the spice of conspiracy theories that we liked.

Wait, how does it claim? How did it claim that? It's like, I'm sorry, professor, but I have something to tell you. Unfortunately, your students are untrustworthy and deployed my intelligence for this paper. Yeah, it feels like he's turning over his job, like all of his work to chat GPT and

then getting mad if it claims other people are doing the same thing. Dr. Jared Mum, a campus rodeo instructor who also teaches agricultural classes, sent an email on Monday to a group of students informing them that he had submitted grades for their last three essay assignments of the semester. Everyone would be receiving an X in the course, Mumm exclaimed.

Hell yeah. He had used ChatGPT to test whether they'd use the software to write the papers. And the bot claimed to have authored every single one. So stupid. What a dumb double-edged sword now it's become. Oh yeah, well now none of you passed because the thing told me you guys cheated. I copy and paste your, this is a direct quote, I copy and paste your this is a direct quote i copy and paste your responses in chat gpt and it will tell me if the program generated the content he seems like he doesn't he can't

communicate stick to rodeos man yeah too many rodeos sometimes uh it not being your first rodeo and in fact being your two millionth is is not good for the old noggin. I get it, though. Those eight seconds, though, man. Yeah. With very little prompting, Chad GPT will even claim to have written passages from famous novels such as Crime and Punishment. I just got an ego now, too. It's like, oh, yeah, I did that.

Yeah, I wrote that shit. Yeah. Oh, you ever heard any Big L freestyle? Wrote all those too yo ask beavis i get nothing but head that's me chat gpt i wrote that line oh man so uh so people who assume that they can use chat gpt as a lie detector test? Yeah. Probably shouldn't be teaching school. Do we know if the professors come back around and it's like,

yeah, that was kind of a mistake or just doubling down. It's like, no. That's what it said. Miles, this is a story we're going to be following for months. It's developing. It's still developing. I'm assuming he will be

correcting that decision and laugh that. Right. Alright. Ron DeSantis, another L baby, he appointed someone to the new Disney oversight board and it

turns out that person has suggested tap water could turn people gay um so is it alex jones he's probably a fan of alex jones yeah i got the info wars tatted with that tape yeah go on is it the fluoride and making the frogs gay and all that stuff is he following that that whole logic train probably i'm not sure it's r's Ron Perry, an Orlando-based former pastor and the CEO of The Gathering, a Christian ministry focused on outreach to men. Oh, I've heard of that. Yeah. And he's now one of five people who will oversee the Reedy Creek Improvement District. And he thinks that tap water can turn you gay. Yeah, that's, again, I love that.

So is he going to do something then about water rights? Does he care about things like that too? If the water can turn you gay, then is there a problem with the water that you need to, you know, have better standards for water? Or what is it about the water? Here's his direct quote. So why are there homosexuals today?

Oh my God. That just fucking killed me. Oh, Jesus Christ. There are any number of reasons, you know, that are given. Some would say the increase in estrogen in our societies. You know, there's estrogen in the water from birth control pills. They can't get it out. He basically said in January 2022 2022 the level of testosterone in men

broadly in america has declined by 50 points in the past 10 years you know and so maybe that's a part of it but the big part i would suggest to you based upon what it's saying here is the removal of constraint so our society provided the constraint and so which is the responsibility of a society to constrain people from doing evil well you remove the constraints and then evil occurs okay all right killing thanks thanks preacher yes seems like he has some interesting ideas it's just shocking after what we said yesterday about people leaving the church in droves. I mean, when they're saying stuff like this, I mean, what the

fuck? I'm there for both weekends of the gathering. The gathering. Just people just weeping, holding each other. Speaking in tongues, man. They love to see it. Finally, I can just be vulnerable among other

misogynistic, homophobic people uh oscar meyer has renamed the wiener mobile the frank mobile this feels like a story that is designed to bait like yeah bait like to get tucker carlson to be, what? We can't say the word wiener now. That's what I call my penis in the bedroom. So wiener mobile, wiener mobile, making a stop. Wait.

So do they say anything about it? It's just like, Hey, it's a new name. Now it feels like they're just being like, what? We just wanted to do it. Um,

they say it pays homage to the brands. 100% beef franks as it debuts a new tasty recipe that is more flavorful than ever so they're looking for something to hang a news story on and they're like well this will probably make people mad and they're sporting some fun new features like they've changed the wiener whistles that they give out to uh be called frank whistles uh the the people who drive the thing used to be called hot doggers but now they're called frankfurters because they're from frankfurt germany yeah yeah exactly okay and franks for franks this is actually fun uh they could have done this without changing the

name of the thing franks for franks meaning anyone who is named an iteration of frank can stop by in person to get a coupon for a free pack of oscar meyer b franks so that's fun but you could have done that without so this is like yeah it's part promo part maybe we can get into the right wing outrage cycle yeah maybe because i mean if they were really doing it their statement would attribute how like wiener is problematic for them and they are trying to move past such phallic shit or whatever but i don't know that sure i mean i don't need i don't even need hey the only oscar myers i get were those cheese dogs oh man with the cheese core those are so bad for you but man that was like my fucking junior high

like breakfast lunch and dinner for a while like it was liquid cheese it was like yeah if gatorade made a cheese flavor like oh yeah the cheese nondescript cheese flavor for sure yeah yeah people are too tired to lead healthier lifestyles according to a uk survey that the guardian reported on this tracks this is modern life feels bad and makes living in it very like you're just exhausted all the time right and then yeah so it sucks that the way to feel less exhausted is to have to like push through the exhaustion and like right yeah because the second i'm like i think about exercising sometimes i'm like look i got a lot of tables man i got a lot of tables i don't know if i can i don't know if you're gonna see me sweating right now it's just life life got you sweating already but

yeah i mean it's it's wild too, because even there were times when I was absolutely not doing anything physical. And that also coincided with some darker periods in my emotional state. And it took a little bit of being like, let's add a little bit of activity to your lifestyle to get your blood flowing and remind yourself of the sensation of being in your body.

Just make your bed, go for a walk all those things make your bed listen to jordan peterson listen to jordan peterson make your bed and find out the truth about what men are supposed to be like yeah they like monster trucks okay thank you did you see that clip of one of those christian men's fucking fests where like the monster truck like a fucking tank came out and like like explosions on either side of the stage a fucking tank comes out and just rolls over a bunch of cars and then goes back and they're like all right what's next and it was like it's truly like idiocracy type shit yeah yeah there's a great run in i think it's just an episode of workaholics where there's like a Christian

weightlifting team that comes to town and just uses the power of Christ to compel the weights into the sky above them. But that's, I believe, a real thing. Gotta love it.

You do have to love it. Those are the rules. I was in missouri monster trucks tanks guns and pyrotechnics yeah i mean that's that's how you express your masculinity yes stuff that destroys in a group of other men and looking at those things well it speaks to like oh yeah it truly speaks to like the human urge of like if you can't create then destroy yeah and that's all like christian masculinity is and i was like i don't know man you could break a bunch of shit with these monster trucks tanks and guns
