This wasn't just a new game. Atari promised 150 grand in prizes to four finalists.

But the prizes disappeared. And what started as a video game promotion became one of the most controversial moments in 80s pop culture. I just don't believe they exist. My reaction, shock and awe. That sword was amazing. It was so beautiful. I'm Jamie Loftus.

Join me this spring for The Legend of Sword Quest, a podcast about the fall of Atari and the disappearing Sword Quest prizes. We'll follow the quest for lost treasure across four decades. It's almost like a metaphor for the industry and Atari itself in a way. Listen to The Legend of Sword Quest

The Daily Production of iHeartRadio. This is a podcast where we take a deep dive into American shared consciousness. And it is Tuesday, September 3rd. It is the first day after a long weekend.

And we are hungry. Hungry. Hungry. Yeah. Not even, no, I'm not hangry. I'm not hangry. I'm ravenous. Yeah.

I just need you to describe that dry cookie you just it was so real slow you know how like when you get a like a good moist cookie like from the bakery and then for some reason you're like why didn't i just put this in tupperware and have it room time yeah just like this is a bag in a like a paper bag in the fridge it's a it's a famous amos by now yeah this is loosely assembled crumbs just hanging out together yep by like out of habit but the socially associating yeah yeah yeah known each other since grade school they kind of fell apart diverging interests why are you a fucking friend that's why i never liked you um anyways uh you had a good long weekend we we

caught up off like maybe in the cold open i went to a sky zone uh for a for an eight-year-old's birthday party yeah shout out to um that eight-year-old whose name i'm not gonna say on the podcast but uh and their family that you forgot it too and happy birthday today i'm not gonna say their name obviously that's also why i don't say my kids names on the podcast because i don't remember them my older my old my eldest and my youngest doesn't even know our name mom that my two sons hey and the younger one a little guy um my guy and little guy but sky zone is like that that shit is that's a trampoline place right it's a trampoline place they also have like slides that are like water slide adjacent

like they will like shoot you up in the air oh like with how intense the speeds get yeah well it's just like you know a water slide that like fires you out and then you like fall into the water yeah yeah they have that but like dry how they have just big like a mat the padding technology the mat technology nobody like how do you get that kind of like frictionless speed you're sliding on a you're sliding on a guy yeah on a little uh on a guy on a on a on a little pad guy yeah that's our mode objects hop on brandon just down there again just great energy so he's one of our fastest guys he's one of our most he has one of our most frictionless backs um yeah but man it's tough like the the thing i like about the uh laser tag place that you that you had your first job in the parents get to play like the

sky's oh too much fun to just like make the parents just stand by and watch and like there'll be like big kids in there they have this one section i mean that i didn't i did not read the terms of service but the shit that they must have you agree to in that because there's like so much stuff that's like way too dangerous for amer America's appetite for their children. Right. There's just, like, an American gladiator's, like, balance beam where, like, one person stands in the middle and, like, takes on all comers. Oh, shit. And, like, they just, like, smash each other with these giant pillows. And there was a kid who was, like, 13 just, like, trucking little children in there. Just digging in the hill.

Like, didn't move for 45 minutes. Right, right, right. But instead of making me outraged i was like i want to be that guy all right i could take him out it's a strict no adults policy in there you can't i can't get around they have like height limits in certain sections and i think just like pure shame uh and you know human dignity also keeps parents out but right it just looks so fun man i mean it looks like they say stuff for co-workers throw an event for your co-workers so unless you're in the child labor game there might be an adult version of things you know like i feel like yeah

yeah at a certain age that's like knee and ankle injury city yeah yeah yeah yeah that's probably also why they're like but and they have a zip line that absolutely just explodes you off the side of that thing again like just things that used to exist i just i just picked you watching from like the sidelines like through the plexiglass like with your hand palm on like just fogging up the plexiglass or like that one that one clip of charles s dutton that's a meme from rudy when he's like clapping for rudy was like yeah that was me with my six-year-old riding the zip line and he got like exploded off on on his third and final run uh in a way that i was like so proud of and taking a video and smiling and then

the other dads were like, I think he's hurt, man. I think he's hurt. I had to run over and he was like, my shoulder, my shoulder. Anyways, this is the episode where we get to know each other a little bit better by telling you something we think is

underrated, overrated. Miles, what is something you think is underrated uh underrated is uh just as our desire to watch people eat a bunch of shit um i didn't full disclosure a friend of mine was working on the kobayashi versus joey chestnut hot dog like fucking battle finale to end all hot dog eating competitions because they were great rivals like 20 years ago yeah that's what it could have been called and at first i'm like yeah maybe i'll check it out but then suddenly when i remember it i was like i need to watch this like i need to see the fucking ending of this epic rivalry um and it was truly a spectacle to behold like they had like little pre there was like a pre card in a weird way where they had this one dude eat like a bunch of weight like a wing eating

contest against three olympians like who could eat the most wings this guy fucking just smashed it like didn't even didn't even bother to pretend like technique just like he was eating all flats yeah and basically like would get the one end cartilage piece off and then just like cartoon like cat style just pull the meat right off the bone and just toss the tube fucking with like those bones no gristle look no i'll be honest i don't know what they're counting i know yeah house i grew up in the family i grew up in you better present clean bones when you're eating off the bone yeah these felt a little like i would say like maybe 25 20 percent meat was on there that's unacceptable yeah whatever how are they counting are they

counting it by number of wings or are they counting are they counting it by number of wings or are they counting it by like the weight number of wings number of wings the number of wings they got through that feels gameable it was whatever that was fine then another lady ate like four pounds of watermelon in three minutes it was fucking so intense to watch um but she was like casually just like scarfing it down uh scarfing because i'm from the 80s and um then they got to the fucking main event and dude this fool joey just ate like 83 fucking hot dogs in 10 minutes and they changed the rules up i don't know if you've seen like other like competitive eaters what they'll do is they'll like pull the buns they'll separate the buns from

the dogs eat the dogs then dip the fucking buns in the water or something eat them separately i thought that was the kobayashi method they changed they changed the rules just straight up old school tradition full dog with bun no separating the missionary position of missionary yeah nuptial sheet all of it they had it all very traditional going biblical on it um but it was just wild because joey chestnut look it was kind of it was it was this mix between like oh shit this is wild and then me being like i think joey chestnut is killing himself with glizzies up there yeah he was sweating profusely he was forcing these hot dogs down his gullet in a way that i was like is like is this safe like i was partially like dazzled and then repeatedly uttering like under my breath jesus

this is so fucked up what the fuck but then i couldn't look away her majesty was like this is so fucked up i can't i'm having trouble watching this guy force them down his throat. And then at the end, he looked so weathered. It was kind of wild. And I put a picture of him right after in here in the dock of him. This dude is only 40. Joey Chestnut is 40 years old. Yo, he looks like Alex Jones after a bender.

Yeah, he looks like Alex Jones. Yeah, like slightly better. Yeah yeah something's going on with him yeah and i was like it looks like a guy like rather than being like yeah the guy's like he's kind of weather you know he was drinking a lot in his like you know younger days it's like no this dude is eating so many processed meats yeah that it aged him in a way i've never seen those Those are the two things that doctors repeatedly are just drinking and processed meats. Those are the two things that will significantly uptake

your cancer risk. That changed my whole Sando intake style. Not me. Going to Oh my god. You know that kind of shit? A firework finale of process in my mind

i'm like tuna's safer maybe you're eating just a bunch of mayonnaise also but anyway uh yeah i was just i was i i was truly impressed with what i saw but it was it's like wild to like watch that and then everyone kind of being like look at this what look at look what's our fucking society but also holy shit dude you fucking eating 81 82 83 um god mighty yeah uh i don't have this like whatever the thing is that makes us want to watch people eat a disgusting amount of hot dogs i've not i've not watched a single one of these that's good good for you i'm good to just have you describe eating one dry cookie yeah like real slow yeah real real slow i think honestly just me just you looking at that picture of joey chestnut after the 83 hot dogs is enough for you to understand what happened it's like body i watched uh alien romulus this weekend oh yeah and it just it seems like your experience of watching this was very similar like just like under your breath being like oh

oh so fucked up oh why why are we doing this to ourselves yeah truly um so joey chestnut won oh yeah he like he put the smash on kobayashi i mean it feels like they like fucked with the rules a little bit to fuck with kobayashi right like wasn't his thing but yeah but the other thing is too like even at their their personal records joey chestnut had a better personal hot dog eating record than kobayashi at his best so like going into it if i was if i was gonna pick i was probably i would have probably put money on chestnut just because like his cape like he's demonstrated a lot of capacity to eat more than kobayashi has they should also like have to submit for x-rays after

it so we could like see what the insides look like oh yeah i mean even grosser news like what what's like the next day or so like when you have to there's no way they keep it down is there oh god that's even like more horrifying to be like then you have to fucking nah nah yeah yeah i don't know do competitive eaters poop all the food out. A search that could have come from my six year old. Uh, all right. My, my underrated similarly in the world of sport.

So college football's back. We got a, um, gem of a post game press conference from Brian Kelly, uh, who's the coach of LSU. He used to be the coach of Notre Dame. He's just always seemed like a real asshole. And his press conference

is just... It's not on the level with the greats, but it's just this slow boil where you're just witnessing this man trying to hold it together with all his might and then at one point he just like slams his fist on the table like started yeah no it's

it's like at the end basically it's like after 20 minutes of him being and you know i'd it's like a sandler movie like when you know a sandler character who's just like, you know, just like right on the verge of fucking losing their shit. He's always like had these like horrible interactions with the media where he just like finds an arbitrary reason to like be pissed at them. There's also a thing like back in Notre Dame where one of their football managers who was taping a practice, like they sent him up on this crane or on like one of those hydraulic lifts in a windstorm. And he fell off, like the thing collapsed and he died. Uh,

Oh my God. Like there, there were questions around that. Yeah. Like, so, I mean, nothing,

you know, he was ultimately nothing to see here, dude. Yeah. Not, he was ultimately nothing to seed here, but. Yeah. He was ultimately nothing to seed here, but he's just always seemed like, I don't know. I, I definitely, I remember seeing this go around because I think that the caption I saw was like, what?

Like he's just had a series of winning the first game of a season. Losing the last few years. Yeah. Yeah. So like that came to LSU. He keeps losing. Like the expectations are so high with lsu nuts catch in that game i thought i could have swore i saw someone on sc just like

have like a one-handed like corkscrew couple yeah yeah this weekend yeah i saw just out of context yeah there's like a robert morris interception that was like like the the the college robert morris like this dude intercepted a pass that was like the college Robert Morris intercepted a pass that was one of the craziest things I've ever seen. That was like a one-handed one, right? Yeah, one-handed, flip it, spinning around. There were a couple of those this weekend.

Let's watch Brian Kelly totally keep it together. We're sitting here again. We're sitting here again talking about the same things. They should have miked the table. They need to mic the table. He just smashed the thing.

Could have been smashed the thing. And you can see his water bottle that's across the table jump. Not finishing when you have an opponent in a position. God, this guy must be great to hang out with i know right like god he must be he's he's just like so tightly wound and i don't know like coming from a long

line of coaches i think it's like kind of fucked up that we do this to coaches but like in the right in the right moments it's like hilarious that we take these people when they're like on the verge of a nervous breakdown from like combined stress and like failure and put them up on a stage and force them to answer questions hey why'd you fail for people who have written bad stuff about them in the past that they probably have like a like boil like a simmering personal vendetta against this mother and then those people are like hey yeah hey so that opposing coach basically uh pulled your little dick out in front of everyone and jerked you off until nothing came out because you were a boy uh what was the thinking going

into that coach hey coach when you're nuts gonna drop you should leave yeah but yeah i don't know what this is i'm curious so too like when you see that right like clearly that's also like his communication style and i get that because football is such an aggressive sport like that's a communication style to motivate it but like i feel like we're seeing like you see this evolution in coaching over the last 20 years or like some guys like aren't the screamer types and they're like oh man you gotta get in there like if you got if you want them to perform like you got to get them bought in rather than like i'm gonna scream at them like they're my step kids uh form of coaching so it's interesting to see like the the remnants of that because i remember when i was playing hockey like there bro there were some freaking freaks that would just rip our heads off and we were seven grade coach for 13 year old 13 year olds

and was like the meanest person yeah ever encountered i had a hockey coach that i remember i told my mom i i i got off the team because this dude was such a scary um and they put me on the older kids team i mean some of the all-time greats if you're if you're also interested in this because it's just like the one of the most naked moments that we have in like public discourse like how like no no president is forced to like go up there after a major l and like deliver unprepared remarks that are like just you know in the form of like questions from media who's like kind of hostile towards you if you're interested there's uh you want to crown their ass crown them but they are who we thought they were right right right one nfl coach just got up there and kept being like, they are who we thought they were.

They are who we thought they were. And I was like, what? Because he had just gotten like, his team got creamed. And then he was like, you want to crown their ass? Crown their ass. But they were who we thought they were. And like, it didn't really make sense, but it like was just. Who do they think they are?

We am. We are. What? We are. but it like was just who do they think they are we am we are exactly it just lost his access to language at that point um there's of course playoffs playoffs yeah um and then come after me i'm a man i'm 40 i'm not a kid uh hell yeah miles what's uh what's something you think's overrated like okay my own listening comprehension abilities i've i've been listening to i've you know i like a lot of music the shock ademus and pliers song murder she wrote is like a dance hall she wrote yeah and she wrote how come i'm learning now that song is about abortion it is yes is it like an anti-choice anthem uh it's hard to say what it is it's kind of like this the backstory does not feel like empowering it's like like he was dating

someone named maxine who was like pregnant and then she wasn't anymore and he was like what happened wow and like that was kind of like the like the sort of texture you get on the backstory of it and then in the third verse he talks about like how she gets gets an abortion and stuff and i was like well and a part of me is like obviously i'm not an expert in jamaican patois so it's not like i'm i like i'm like how did i miss that i'm fluent um but for such a song like because you know there's like this whole pantheon of like pops popular songs that are about abortion like brick by ben folds or like that goo goo doll song slide sounds like it's about abortion yeah like that for sure it's not like a dance hall anthem

you know right you're not gonna hit the dance floor slide is the goo goo doll song right that's about abortion yeah i think so um yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah so anyway that's just like but then for a song that's like like it's such a it's such a bop that you're like wait this this has a weird backstory and then i was reading the wikipedia article and i gotta find it like they asked angela lansbury about um they're like hey you know there's this there's this song called like murder she wrote you know like what do you you know how do you feel about that her quote was this was her reaction to it uh when asked about it quote oh reggae oh i'm thrilled to be part of reggae of course shout out angela lansbury you didn't know the uh she didn't know the context either it sounds sounds like. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. She's like an ode to Cabot Cove. Yes, yes.

We're back. and we're back we're back and uh my overrated is i guess like corporatocracy or like whatever we're headed towards um it ties into a news story because uh this weekend direct tv just like turned

off espn and abc because of a contract dispute with disney i don't know if you saw this um we're we are currently in the midst of a big uh tennis you know craze us and the u.s open is on and then it was not on and they were just like hey disney is like fucking with us we don't like it so we're just like this is off for the foreseeable future until they come to the table or whatever wow um and yeah it just like this happened with dodgers baseball not too long ago um a few years back we just have like lower expectations now more than ever for the systems that like you know obviously these are like superficial things this is just like our ability to watch sports but right we also have like the two astronauts stranded on the iss like being an example of like how privatization and like corporatocracy affects

space travel and like comparing that to like this weekend took my kids to the science center because they've been interested in hubble and the james webb telescope so we went to uh the california science center publicly funded like you don't even have to pay for admittance to the science center um and we watched a documentary about the James Webb telescope, which they mentioned in the documentary, it cost $10 billion of like taxpayer, you know, there's like NASA budget,

$10 billion to put that thing up. And it had like 200, what they call like zero point moments where if it, if everything failed to go exactly as planned, it would like just go off into the universe as space trash but it just like all these people with like terrible haircuts in hawaiian shirts and like pun t-shirts just like pulled off this fucking miracle in some dark room in Florida somewhere. And it's like, I don't know. It's just the comparison of what we're seeing with corporate,

the more we just let corporations take over everything versus what happened with... I feel like even though James Webb got a lot of press at the time it's still like we don't drive home the point that like this is a publicly funded thing there's no profitability at the end of it right it's just a thing that we funded because of the end goal is like good for humanity and it worked it was like an incredible this incredible achievement that allowed us to like look back into the beginning of the universe and then we're like we don't really talk about that instead we're like elon musk is a genius or it's like our public

subsidies basically help elon buy twitter right yeah that side of it too now yeah we just i don't know and like nobody would ever make the argument in america like that's why tax is good like look look at this amazing thing we achieved by allowing our tax dollars to like go to this incredible achievement look at this like white science center that like is open for kids of all backgrounds like go to and you know just like i don't know it's fucking i think because we've forgotten what like the public good that is created from tax money you know you'd like it's like even like well you just don't hear about it in the mainstream too like or just like all the state universities that were built you know what i mean like with public funds and we're just kind of like i don't know they've been here rather than

realizing it's like these were fucking flourishing the reason like they're they don't they're kind of like look stuck in time is because we haven't been really investing in them since that initial investment and we should be pouring more into these things like our own infrastructure and i think we just kind of like i think for people who are less like who don't understand like how a lot of these things came to pass that it's easier to just take it for granted and be like yeah it's just like that stuff that's there rather than it's like no that's why you need to fucking tax the wealthy to create the fucking funds to make more shit. That is like the stuff that wows us, that gives us these, you know, scientific achievements or discoveries or places of learning or social safety, safety nets and the like. But yeah, yeah, it's James Webb is like out here discovering things that Einstein predicted with math

50 years before we knew that we'd ever be able to see them well enough to prove them right. But he was just like, there should be a massive black hole here. Einstein's also a good example. He's been completely co-opted by corporations.

But I don't think he was collecting a paycheck from ibm you know despite those like think different ads or whoever the fuck that was you know like but yeah we we just because of like years and years of like corporate brainwashing it and a media that is completely corporate owned i feel like we don't get messaging about like here's a great public works thing that was achieved with taxpayer money right we just kind of zoom past it and then now when like disney and at&t have a disagreement and like our lives are like temporarily inconvenienced we're just like okay that's how it goes right it's like no this is bullshit it's a bad system it's a bad system is what i'm saying and that is the first

time i've ever said that on this podcast i know i know i know i'm just nervous i just realized corporatocracy bad system i'm nervous about what this is gonna do you know oh man anyways uh let's get into some news stories shall we um besides news stories about what i can't watch on tv ah i can't we can't watch the men eat hot dogs i just switched to sling and like i'm probably not gonna switch back like because there you go why why would you i mean at this rate like everyone there it's the same thing with cable it's like yeah yeah you get this introductory rate yeah yeah and then we're gonna turn it up on you and then you said two years later you look at your billing you're like what the fuck 700 a month what the fuck happened well you wanted dvr didn't you what really use it just watch sports uh all right uh let's talk about rfk uh he

spent a lot of his campaign like whining about how uh it was a conspiracy that's keeping him off ballots yeah you need to get on those ballots people if we're going to have a free and fair election so now what's happening what's the latest Well, first you couldn't get on the ballots, and now you can't get his name off the ballots, which is what he wants, because he's now on the road to becoming the nation's road meat czar, and part of that deal was to trade in

what was left of his parasite-riddled soul to stop his campaign to help donald trump win um but now that part of that means he has to make good on his end of this bargain which is hey man get your fucking name off the ballot so you don't split the vote or people end up supporting you that could be supporting me like what like let's now let's handle this part um he's successfully been able to get his name off a few like a few places like pennsylvania nevada arizona among many others um but in consequential swing states like north carolina wisconsin and michigan he's looking at a big old uh-oh where they're like bro it's too fucking late like you we can't like we're we've sent ballots out to

counties we can't fucking reprint reprint millions of fucking ballots like it's just not gonna happen so sorry other places are like well once you've submitted and you have a nomination like it is what it is there's no take backsies um so he's suing uh the state of north carolina and their election board to try and get off the fucking ballot there because it's pretty i mean for a campaign that has little money i'm sure the trump campaign is probably helping because north carolina you know is one of the most important states uh in terms of donald trump having a path to victory in terms of like electoral college math um now that like there are many other states in play for democrats like he has like north carolina like you you can't fuck around

with it anymore is that because like it would be an indication that like other states have gone bad for him or yeah well there's just so many there's just so many of these like after you get through your solidly red states and you look at what's teetering you're like well for the amount of electoral college votes you got there like you kind of need those because then you then you are starting to cobble together other states that might be way more competitive um so all that's to say is this has become a big focus of rfk's you know defunct campaign now because yeah this is the polling is now tightening more and more and more whatever that means but clearly that's enough for them to take action to think like okay this is this is a bit of a

mp my problem to sort out right yeah yeah uh and then trump admitted he interfered with the election no big deal right yeah i mean it's like i'll just play this clip. We were just talking about Jack Smith, you know, going after him again with a new indictment, now taking out a lot of the language that was sort of deemed, you know, quote, problematic in terms of the Supreme Court decision, where if you are President God, you can fuck around and not find out. It's like when you get, like, bad notes on a first draft of something, and then you're like, I will follow your notes to the letter of the law like i will remove these words specifically okay fine if this is what you here it is now do you like it you like this toothless non-creative

thing anyway so part of that was uh or over the weekend he did an interview on fox where that came up and trump's just being like let me show you a little bit of how I see the law or what is legal or not. This is him talking about him definitely interfering with the election. Whoever heard you get indicted for interfering with a presidential election where you have every right to do it. When you get indicted and your poll numbers go up, when you get indicted and your poll numbers go up when people get indicted your poll numbers go down wait what you have every right to interfere in the election heard you get indicted for interfering with a president presidential election for you have every right to or you have every right to do it uh-huh you get indicted and your poll numbers go up

when people get indicted their poll numbers go down so what the fuck that means it's legal this is this is a great example of uh him just like admitting like the the thing he did is bad and also just like if joe biden had said this we have been like, what the fuck is happening with his brain? He's contradicted himself like the span of five seconds. And people are increasingly getting more and more bored. Like at the rallies, like there's people like there've been more and more people like snickering behind him.

Like, I don't even think they're plants. They're just like, what the fuck did he just say kind of shit they're like why are we here um it doesn't mean that they will not come out and vote for him but yeah anyway it's interesting to see like people's responses especially you know like former doj officials who now like get a check being pundits they're like oh this is really bad for donald trump and i'm like can we can we just like please just stop doing this

because so many things have been really bad for donald now man it's over i mean the game over buddy all existence is really bad for donald trump but yet he seems to like float away from any kind of tangible like legal jeopardy on a cloud of lies so um yeah well we'll see maybe i don't know but yeah he said that and you have every right to interfere it's just like i think just underscores like the his level of narcissism it's just like in these new new highs where the logic is i did a crime but people liked it so that means it's legal whoever heard that interfering in a presidential like is he saying that he doesn't think anybody thought that was illegal heading it was just sort of saying he's i think he's probably saying like i had a right to interfere with it therefore it's legal and plus

if it was seemed that that od if it was that odious to voters why would my polling numbers go up got it okay after being indicted i think he just needs to bring you on to the campaign to yeah yeah that's called workshop and that's not even sane washing i'm becoming a bit of a trump i'm get i get the skewed fuck boy teenager logic that he applies to like well i don't know mom like i brought the gun to school and then everyone cheered i didn't even bring bullets or nothing. They all thought it was really cool. Cause I was doing like cool, like cowboy tricks.

I didn't even, it wasn't even loaded as far as I knew. Yeah. All right. There was a, a brief general strike in Israel over the weekend. Yeah. Uh,

that has since been called off because, uh, of a, uh, the, the courts basically saying like, it not not allowed but it did like fuck things up a lot of delays yeah a lot of delays the airports schools a lot of businesses closed in solidarity there are like hundreds of thousands of people in the streets but

as I was like you know reading like sort of the reports about it it wasn't quite like the tipping point moment that it might look like on TV when you see hundreds of because it's it's still like the outrage is still very much limited to people who are vocal critics of Netanyahu right it's not like the it's not like his base came out to also protest so a lot of the the strikes were kind of fractured as a result of that and felt like more regional than anything but this is obviously like in result of the six hostages that they recovered that they were that were that were killed prior to them being recovered and it's just weird to see like people are like netanyahu's a murderer he's a criminal and i'm

like oh shit they're like but then i realized this just like this discussion is very narrow it's limited to the hostage yeah um and you know like and the the tension there is high like there were people who were like like marching on the border like of gaza to try and be like we're gonna get our own family out then if the government won't do it so yeah he's you know i think it's getting to a point now where people are seeing it's like yeah this guy is not a serious actor or good faith actor in any of these negotiations like it's all about not having a ceasefire yeah people who you know have family members who are hostages are yeah it feels like while their focus is on the hostages, it does seem like a way that it's clear

that Netanyahu doesn't care about... He's almost holding them hostage as well. Yeah. Whether it be the policy of the IDF to shoot people on site in areas where the hostages are being held or the continued all-out bombardment of every building in a region where the hostages are supposed to be it's pretty hard to claim as he did recently that like nobody cares more about the hostages than me yeah you

know 100 and this is also happening while you know you're seeing a full-scale invasion in the west bank also right um and so the the fuckery and the like the actual crimes international crimes yeah uh continue at pace um but and the thing they're calling out in regards to the hostages like is that he keeps changing like you know a lot of the mainstream american accounts of the ceasefire negotiations are like hamas like didn't come to the table or and like these people are at least like coming out and saying like he insisted on adding netanyahu insisted on like adding demands to a proposed ceasefire deal that would have seen the hostages release like you know yeah like uh another uh person so like time after time there's a chance to bring

them home and he finds other reasons for it not to happen uh almost as if he's he just wants this to continue because he wants the war to continue because it's helpful to his specific political aspirations yeah for his far right-wing government and he has to manage that coalition government now he's having to manage in a growingly unhappy populace and yeah I mean there are you know the reports are also like in an increasingly impatient biden administration i am that just feels like a big favor to the biden administration i don't know what exactly the pressure like there's still no conditions on the armament right of israel so i don't know where that's like what exactly is happening i think one thing that they're pointing

to is a reporter asked joe biden over the weekend do you think that you know is is netanyahu doing enough right now to to bring a ceasefire and he just said no and then kept it moving and then they're like biden thinks netanyahu not doing enough but where is i mean because remember the dnc biden was saying like he thinks he could get a ceasefire done by the end of the week and i'm like are it's like are you so naive saying that shit are you so long it's like are you so naive or do you think people are so naive or is it a little bit from column a and a little bit from i think i think we're we're in the little bit of a little bit of b but i don't know like just also just general strike is a term that is good to see in headlines like when you google general

strikes in the u.s there are things like seattle general strike of 1919 and oakland general strike of 1946 like general strike is uh a big deal that i don't know it's just good good idea to introduce to people um yeah but also understanding that like the political project of both parties is to make sure that the labor doesn't have enough power or organize like organizational power to make something like that happen right um and then i think and that should be the appeal uh us understanding why it's like, you know, organized labor is a good thing. So after this Labor Day where Trump did nothing, I think I think he just sat down. All right. Let's take a quick break and we'll be right back.

Sword Quest. This wasn't just a new game.

Atari promised $150,000 in prizes to four finalists. But the prizes disappeared. And what started as a video game promotion became one of the most controversial moments in 80s pop culture. I just don't believe they exist. That would be my reaction, shock and awe. That sword was amazing. It was so beautiful. I just don't believe they exist. I mean, my reaction, shock and awe.

Listen to Table for Two with Bruce Bozzi on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back.

We're back. And J.D. Vance continues to not be very popular I think we're always going to start a story and go J.D. Vance continues to kill it absolutely crush it so

he posted an old clip of a 2007 Miss Teen USA contestant who drew widespread mockery for a rambling response to a question. I forget what the question was. I think it was about the educational system. That's where the woman famously gave the answer. The Asian

countries in the Iraq such as. And so forth. Yeah. So he posted that video and said I've gotten a hold of the full Kamala Harris CNN interview because Kamala Harris and Tim Walls gave an interview to CNN at the end of last week. And we were all glued to our TV screens.

Just like, no, I did. Did you watch it? No, I saw, I saw clips, but if there weren't really headlines talking about anything like that felt like a major shift in policy. I was like, yeah, whatever. I mean, everyone was praising it. They're like, they knocked it out of the park. It was a masterclass in how to dodge Trump gotcha moments or whatever. I did see one part where they were trying to ask her about her identity.

And I was like, are y'all serious with this shit? You guys? She used to be indian now she's black yeah yeah she just said pass she's like i'm not like next question and then like politico was like she evades answering question like why would you even word it like that nice dodge yeah anyways in addition to the inherent misogyny of comparing a female presidential candidate to a beauty pageant contestant um the move was condemned by uh the former contestant herself caitlin upton uh who decried online bullying in her own post then deleted her twitter account altogether um and yeah she's been like this has been a horrible

experience for her so like yeah and this was like i remember this was like 2007 right when it happened yeah and i remember like i think i just graduated college i thought this was the funniest shit it is pretty funny what good what yeah and then and then this is like before you kind of begin to have like like empathy like as a person too and then understand how terrible the internet is luckily this was like early internet so you were like limited to like being on like ebombs world or something like that yeah yeah um but so yeah this really fucking this fucked her life up pretty bad and being a laugh being a laughingstock and then this is this moment he went on cnn and they're like hey dude did you know about you know like this is kind of a fucked up thing to post, given like what this did to this woman. And this is how J.D. Vance just fucking handles it like an absolute wonderful man.

After CNN released a small clip of the Harris interview, you on Twitter posted a clip from a Miss Teen USA beauty pageant from 2007. Like his self-satisfied grin. And you wrote, I have gotten a hold of the full Kamala Harris CNN interview. Now, this thing that surfaced around the internet for a few years, she had, you know, she struggled answering a question back in this beauty pageant. I'm not sure you're aware in 2015, Caitlin Upton did an interview in New York Magazine about all the social media attention this clip got. And she said, I definitely went through a period where I was very very depressed but i never let anybody see that stuff except for people i could trust i had some very dark moments where i thought about committing suicide so when you posted this last

night were you aware that the woman you were posting a picture of had some long blinks suicide for the attention you received no certainly not john and my heart goes out to her and I hope that she's doing well. Look, I've said a lot of things on camera. I've said a lot of stupid things on camera. Sometimes when you're in the public eye, you make mistakes. And again, I think the best way to deal with it is to laugh at ourselves, laugh at this stuff and try to have some fun in politics. I posted a meme from 20 years ago. And I think the fact that we're talking about that instead of the fact that american families can't afford groceries or health care young families he goes on and on and the guy in san antonio is like would you like to apologize

he's like no i'm not gonna apologize nope and we're good here we're good look we need to laugh at people a little bit like completely missing the point but yeah yeah we're not shocked that he would also like probably not know that and then be like yeah i don't care dude and then try and make it as like this is about having fun man that's the whole thing like we're just political campaigns are so uptight i mean yeah because the stakes are so fucking high you loser what are you fucking talking about? Just have a little fun, man. It's like ignore our crumbling earth and untold inequality and oppression.

Yeah, just have a little fun, man. We got to laugh. We got to laugh. Hey, I'm the internet VP. I'm cool. I'm a good podcast guest, mostly. I banged a couple couches in my day. You know what I mean?

And I don't let that get to me. We're having a little fun. You know, that's all it is. Really feels like he should be freelancing for Stuff Magazine in the year 2002. Oh. You know, not running for president. You know, he probably met Gutfeld. He's like, dude, the shit you were doing at Maxim.

Oh. Fucking, I'm not joking when I say this, man. I feel like I'm in front of lord byron you know a true fucking master of the written word he's got the like just annotated copies of old maxim magazines with oh yeah could you imagine he's like this yeah written on them the little thin post-it notes like the ones that were like sort of matchstick size, just littered out of one issue. Can I just go through some of my favorites,

man? It's the Lindsay Lohan episode. Oh yeah, you're going to love this issue. He also, the weekend, this weekend, we saw a 2021 podcast clip surface in which Vance attacked professional women with no children, calling it a path to misery.

Which? Path to misery um which uh to misery what yeah path to victory path to misery he's just i don't know even setting aside like the weirdly specific hate that he has for women who don't have children it just feels like a bad political move like half of the women in the country don't have children doesn't that mean like he's repeatedly insulting a quarter of the population is he just like yeah they're not gonna vote for me man uh yeah i mean because it's the same thing like right like they're just they're just again this is like a really terrible habit that trump the whole maga thing has where like they're like we don't need to appeal to anybody to the middle just fucking turn the heat up and

let's boil this pot down to the most fucked up primordial goo of voters who are just absolute creatures of the swamp of the racist swamps i mean the same thing with like why he's doing trump's doing appearances in like sundown towns and like where the client like clan town in michigan like he knows like it's all fucking intentional and i'd be like yeah man i'll have you guys how about how about this things for you right well that yeah can you get everybody to come out now if i'm talking directly to you in other tragic news uh harry potter super fans uh gathered at london jack we didn't we didn't i thought you said we weren't gonna do this one because it's so fucked up it's kind of fucked up and we try not to like get into too much really dark shit but

yeah this is so a bunch of harry potter fans went to london's King's Cross station for the annual tradition where real station posts a fake announcement that the Hogwarts Express train is ready to depart from the fictional platform nine and three quarters. Thank you for all of your compliments

at home for my British accent work. They're all going back 15 seconds pausing babe get in here get it look a british guy just like enters his body shit they got a british new british guy on the show uh i like they include the fictional platform and they're just they're like not even giving them that yeah just you just because like it's a bureaucracy, they don't want to confuse anyone to be like, how did I get there? The fictional.

Thanks to Woke, fans showed up, counted down, but when the countdown ended, there were not cheers, there was no announcement, there were just boos. Now, let's listen to this moment. I mean, God,

I hope no, I i'm sure i don't think people traveled from abroad to hear this but here's the moment where the announcement did not come at king cross station 3, 2, 1. Just a regular ass announcement. What the fuck? But they even did 3, 2, 1. And all they got was sorry fellas

their accent wasn't very strong in that countdown I'm starting to think that they're just putting the accent like you ever notice in Beatle songs that you can't really hear the accent that strongly in a lot of the parts they're just doing the accent like they they don't need to do the accent they just like do that to fuck with us

is my theory they're fucking with us man you hear that you're cool with that? You're good with that, man? So, it was actually well publicized that the gimmick wouldn't be happening this year, but none of the fans noticed because...

Well, they all use feral birds for communication instead of the internet. The internet hasn't been invented in their world yet. Is that a thing? I mean, it's a thing in the harry potter universe they all use birds and shit oh okay got it al express i thought it was like some you know like you know uh training day shit like clapping pigeons i mean basically yeah that's something that uh yeah south central and the hogwarts community haven community have in common. South LA Hogwarts together.

Yeah. But the reason for this, as if I have to cover it. Wait, isn't the JK Rowling canceled? Wow. What? Well, that doesn't make sense. Because apparently Britain's Network Rail, which manages king's cross station is sick of harry potter fans getting in the way uh they said the event drew crowds of thousands last year

which made it challenging for us to run the station normally our priority must always be passengers who are trying to make their journeys on the railway so regretfully this year there was no in-person celebration um that's fucked up that is well dark day just youtube one of the old ones and put your vr goggles on and just pretend like it's 2018 you know because september 1st is first day hogwarts that's what that's why they started doing it september 1st first day that's that's the day the hogwarts there's only one train at 11 a.m is that how it works in the harry potter world train and i feel like the implication is if you miss it you're like kind of fucked yeah then what yeah well then they you drive your dad's flying car to uh hogwarts how do you get to hogwarts like is there like a thing when you're in the train where

like you go through some kind of like warp into like you just like run into a wall and if you're magic enough you like pass through oh got it got it got it and so it's interdimensional travel yeah it's like kind of they have like a magic disappearing wall yada yada yada magic so how do you get if you're trying to get home from hogwarts but you don't you miss the train and you got to take your dad's flying mini cooper yeah do you do you also fly through a wall or how no no you just fly the enchanted car back and then try and hope that nobody sees you but i mean yeah right i feel like i've seen a scene where a car's like in the air and then it hits a road and they're like all right we good now we're just driving nobody saw that

right yeah i mean they can do anything they want because like when it's just like magic you can just be like yeah let me uh spell up one of those mib zap memory right neuralizers you know like they can it's all good. Don't ask too many questions. It is a coherent fictional universe. If I was interested enough, I would have watched the movies. Those are some of the things that are trending

on this Tuesday, September 3rd. We are back tomorrow with a whole episode of the show. Until then, be kind to each other. Be kind to yourself. Get the vaccine. Don't do nothing about white supremacy. And we will talk to you all tomorrow.
