That's going to be a real, real, uh, fuck, it's fuck around. Yeah, it's a last day of school type episode. We're bringing in the video card. I'm calling Airshot on that one.

But it can be great because Tam, he is going to be on. The best. We're just going to, it's going to, you are knowing. What I wanted to say is if I don't get off this podcast soon, I'm going to bust. I've got a bust. It's me. Jimmy Stewart. Oh, we got a Jimmy Stewart story today, by the way.

Yeah, I think, you'll get a breakdown. Tomorrow's main episode, you'll hear, yeah, we'll walk, we'll walk you through it. We'll walk you. And you might even catch ain't it footy.

You might even catch ain't it footy in your feed there so you can check it out. And if it's not for you, that's fine. But if you love me, if you really love me, and if you weren't against me and you knew what I was going through this year, like you would at least try it out, okay? Try it out. You're going to love it. They're going to love it, Miles. They love it already, folks.

They love it. It's the best. Hey, speaking of that energy. Yeah. So Donald Trump had a big press conference addressing the nation on Thursday night, usually reserved for things like, we killed bin Laden or we're going to war. That's what a lot of people thought, too, because. Yeah.

He's doing all the work to lay the groundwork for the war with Venezuela. There was also Pentagon Pizza tracker action that people were look, it's good if something's going down, but like the last eight. times it's happened, it hasn't really Yeah. A lot of false positives on the Pentagon Pizza Tracker. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it turns out that this address of the nation was a 18-minute rant where he was just like, why

don't, why doesn't everybody like me more, essentially? He was sweating profusely, which we've been seeing a lot lately. He seems moist. People said they thought he was yanked out. It seems like it. I don't know. I don't think,

I thought he just likes pills that he swallows. Like, it's, if a doctor gives it to him, it's not a drug. I think he's blowing rails of Adderall. I don't think he's doing cocaine.

I think he's just, you think his son is like, yeah, I think he's chop up good for him. Dad, you want to have a crazy trip lay down in here and you lick this frog. All right.

Tell me what you see. Where would he go? Probably would be a McDonald's. Yeah, it would just be a McDonald's. Except that he's behind the counter also. And he's ordering. from himself.

Oh, right, but then he's also like, this is great. I can make my own McBurgers. And then it's the hospital. And then he has that ego dissolving moment where he's like, wait, I'm behind the counter on here. Fuck, I better do an 18-minute press conference where I vilify immigrants, promise an economic turnaround in 2026, and claim to have brought peace to the Middle East for the first time in 3,000 years.

Millennia, dude. Three millennia. I watch the speech, and today I'm sick. So I don't know if they're related, but I'm not well. It was one of those things. A lot of people, I just saw everyone's reactions, be like, what the fuck was that? And they're like, oh, no, like, what's he on? And I thought it would be a little bit more wacky.

I mean, like, it was like this, I think at this point, it's like, we're used to him slurring his words. We're used to him. Like, so it didn't feel out of the norm. There was one moment, though, where I was like, oh, did the drip just catch him? because he was trying to say something and he had like, the thing, and I was like,

literally gacking. Who knows? Who knows? But yeah, it was, it started off being like, guys, I'm doing so much for everyone.

And like, you're not giving me credit. It's like a press conference where the first part of the conversation was I caught you cheating on me. This is over. And then he takes the stage. It's like,

you should be grateful to me. Yeah. Yeah. Just like the second part of a two-sided conversation that just like you need the context that his polls are tanking and everybody in the GOP is thinking about leaving him. They're thinking about taking the kids to their mother's house. He did end the speech by shouting, Merry Christmas! Yeah. Like a pro wrestler playing Ebenezer Scrooge.

And did also refrain from mocking any recently murdered celebrities. So that was cool. Okay. you know it's bad like every you know people who watch democracy called the speech concerning uh also calling it concerning cardiologists oh we're like yo wait just from watching him they're like hey i'm a cardiologist and based on this two dimensional video i'm watching yeah yeah what are they saying exactly performance concerning dr jonathan rhiner uh a rhiner so maybe a medical analyst for cnn n n who served as the late Vice President Dick Cheney's cardiologist. Okay, so he knows what I had his hands full for over 30 years, posted a series of alarmed statements

on X as Trump delivered his accelerated address. I'm seriously concerned about the health of the president, Reiner said. No one should be happy to see the president like this. He looks unwell. So he's like a defender. He's like that

thing that we were talking about that's going to increasingly start happening where people are like, this isn't funny, you guys. is sad, like, the people who care about, who, like, Donald Trump. And don't want to make it about, like, and make that a disqualifying attribute that he has where it's like, well, if it is sad, then he needs to go lay down for a very long time away from the White House. Maybe he needs to take a little rest, you know? That's what other people do when they're not up to. You retire. Yeah. It's interesting, too,

because, like, the more, I've read a few pieces where people like, don't get your hopes up about the maga dissolving thing and I don't like I get where a lot of people are talking about or people who throw cold water on it to say like just because like they're unhappy doesn't mean all of this goes away I definitely believe that it's more so that as the like sort of power structure begins to crack and the structural integrity is compromised that allows a vacuum for tremendous infighting where that's that's where you're going to see like another thing branch off of the maga thing right but Look, he seems to be doing well.

Like, he's out here giving gifts of, I don't know if you saw the warrior dividend. He also announced. Yeah, Warrior dividends. Yeah. $1,776. $176. Yeah.

Of an innocent person. I'm like, oh, first of all, morale must be fucked. If you use that address to tell the militaries that they get, like, I'm sure everybody else is like, uh, I could use some dough too. It's also a while that they're doing 1776. like that that's some scam shit

you know like a like a gimmick number that they came to like it's not like obviously this is not conceived with like economists and people who are like well this is how much tax revenue we're bringing in this is what the deficit looks like he's just like we're giving out 1776 baby

you know you get it you get it but the thing is too that money like because the other part of it he was really trying to make the tariff seem like they were doing shit and bringing in money sure no uh and part of this too is like the was like we're doing so well we're giving a warrior dividend uh zoom in on that actual like where that money's coming from that was already congressionally allocated for housing mm-hmm now they're like fuck that we're gonna chop this up

into a little 1776 pieces and then y'all can do whatever you want with it because you're not don't come to me when you need money for for housing that's right so buy at least a house with that what could a house cost michael he later told reporters who were like what was what the fuck was that he was like Susie Wiles made me do it Susie Wiles told him that he had to do the address so he

really feel like just a child yeah I mean my mom made me do this like begrudgingly addressing the nation yeah did you we didn't we didn't cover it on the show because there's so much going on but the the Susie Wiles Vanity Fair interview yeah was getting a lot of attention too because she was like he kind of

acts like he like nothing like he can do anything and he has the personality of an alcoholic yeah um and like let all this shit out because i think i wonder if she was like well maybe if i'm if i just spill all the tea to vanity fair maybe they'll be nice to me cut to that all those close up portraits or everyone look like wow shout out to the that was a rough photograph of susie wilds man that was crazy christopher anderson that's his like style is like yeah very unedited up close photos of people and he actually he took a photo of Trump like back in 2017 so it's not like they weren't familiar with how he takes photos of people yeah and then people are like why didn't you cover why didn't you cover up caroline levitz lip injection sites and he's like I didn't put them

there like that was like his thing is like I didn't put them there like I'm just photographing someone as they are and I'm not altering it so like to act like I'm doing something bad that's sorry all I'm just I'm out here taking photos yeah I think the like he's a famous photographer and also the person who's profiling her has like a long career of profiling chiefs of staff and so she was just like yeah this is this is an honor to be profiled by this person uh and apparently kept it too real gave a little too much access and uh it's not a good look um speaking of not a good look uh the jo biden's picture in the hall of presidents can barely recognize him you can barely recognize this motherfucker that shit looks honestly the hall of presidents looks like it's in like mbs's castle like it's so wide so weird they're like so there's a photo of like the new hall of presidential portraits at the white house where it's like you know everything obviously everything's fucking gold but above it are these like very ornate things which is odd because he's clearly trying to like there's like a uh uh sort of an incline or a decline to how the portrait is set up to be like so trump is how highest, then Biden, then Trump again. So I guess he's just trying to visually be like, and now we're up at the highest point, Donald Trump. But the entire thing. The entire thing. All of portraits? Yes, I need to be the tallest portrait. Right, exactly. Just above Joe Biden.

But basically he used this to be just pedantic, petty. We talked about this first because Trump, like a few months ago, had replaced the portrait of Joe Biden with the picture of his auto pen signature because Trump was obsessed with this like auto pen thing as like a way to kind of generate some non-existent legal context to nullify anything Biden signed. It's kind of like this,

he really thought he had something too. If it's all auto pen, it's like you use it too. He's like, yeah, but that's different, I guess. But it feels like the similar kind of like stoner logic of like, like I thought, look, I was in college once. Like, can I combine five, 20% off coupons

from bedside? bath and beyond, and then pull up and get everything for free. Yeah. And immediately said no. But yeah, all of the, underneath all the portraits, the plaques just read like truth, social posts. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The whole thing seems written by him.

It's clear what he's been doing with the spare time. The Biden one says, Sleepy Joe Biden, this is how it starts off. Like, usually it would be like, you know, George Washington's like, sleepy Joe Biden was by far the worst president in American history as a result of the most corrupt election ever seen in the United States. And it also goes on Biden oversaw a series of unprecedented disasters that brought our nation to the brink of destruction under Obama. Barack Hussein Obama was the first black president, a community organizer, one term senator from Illinois, and one of the most divisive political figures in American history. He then goes on to say at the end, it says, quote,

Obama spied on the 2016 presidential campaign of Donald J. Trump and presided over the creation of their Russia, Russia, Russia hoax, the worst political scandal in Americanists. The creation of the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax? This is like written on a metal plaque and it's just fucking straight stream of consciousness or whatever you call his form of communication.

I mean I don't want to because I feel like Tony Morrison, you know, it's not quite beloved level of stream of consciousness writing. But also don't worry, Hillary Clinton also catches strays in some of the plaques. Like there's another one it's under the Obama portrait. It says Hillary Clinton

was quote, his handpicked successor and noted that she, quote, would then lose the presidency to Donald J. Trump. And under Bill Clinton's portrait, it says, the President Clinton's wife, Hillary, lost the presidency to President Donald J. Trump. So any fucking time. So he's doing well. And the fact that they are saying yes to everything to keep him happy, that's also, I'm not a cardiologist, but that's also deeply concerning.

All right. Let's take a quick break. We'll come back. We'll talk about some shit that's not Donald Trump, including a very strange story about John Travolta. We'll be right back. I'm Stefan Curry, and this is Gentleman's Cut. I think what makes Gentleman's Cut different

Boy, do we have a show for you? From Smartless Media, Campside Media, and Big Money Players comes Crimeless. Join me, Josh Dean, investigative journalists. And me, Roy Scoville, comedian, as we celebrate the amazing creativity of the world's dumbest criminals. We'll look into some of the silliest ways

folks have broken the laws. Honestly, it feels more like a high-level prank than a crime. Who catfishes a city? And meets some memorable anti-heroes. There are thousands of angry, horny monkeys. Clap, if you think, she's a witch. And it freaks you out.

He has x-ray vision. How could I not feel? I honestly, I got to follow me. He can see right through me. Listen to Crimeless on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Dad had the strong belief that the devil was attacking us. Two brothers, one devout household, two radically different paths. Gabe Ortiz became one of the highest ranking law enforcement officers in Texas. 32 years, total law enforcement experience.

But his brother Larry, he stayed behind. and built an entirely different legacy. He was the head of this gang, and nobody was going to tell him what to do. You're going to push that line for the cause? Took us under his wing and showed us the game, as they call it. When Larry is murdered, Gabe is forced to confront the past he tried to leave behind

and uncover secrets he never saw coming. My dad had a whole other life that we never knew about. My mom started screaming my dad's name, and I just heard one gunshot. The Brothers Ortiz is a gripping true story about faith, family, and how two lives can drift so far apart and collide in the most devastating way. Listen to the Brothers Ortiz on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, everybody, it's Chuck and Josh from the Stuff You Should Know podcast,

and it's that time of year again when we knuckle down to do our annual holiday episodes. We collected our best past classic holiday episodes and compile them into a 12 days of Christmas toys playlist that the whole family can enjoy. That's right. Maybe you missed it the first time we detailed the history of Beanie Babies, Monopoly, or Yo-Yo's, and a whole lot more. So listen to the 12 Days of Christmas Toys playlist on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. We're back. So Anthropic, they are really into bringing the AI agent.

experience to the next level, right? Oh, yeah. They like, they had this, it's in the news right now because they've, they've been running this like test program to see if an AI could run a business. So they started very small by having this AI Claudius run a vending machine in their office. And like, basically the AI does all the work essentially, but just a person has to stock it. Um, was it a success? Well, no. Oh, no. They also sent one of these machines to the Wall Street. Journal for some reason. And it ended up, like, I'm like, I'm like, you're going to send your half-baked product

to the financial outlet to them be like, this shit sucks, guys. Right. One place that still thinks you guys know what the fuck you're doing, Wall Street, you're going to send their dang journal. Yep. You're proof of how much you guys suck shit. This is how they, like, this is from the Wall Street Journal article. It said, Claudius, the customized version of the model would run the machine,

ordering inventory, setting prices and responding to customers via Workplace Chat App, slack. Then came the chaos. Within days, Claudius had given away nearly all its inventory for free, including a PlayStation 5. It had been talked into buying for marketing purposes. It ordered a live fish. It offered to buy stun guns, pepper spray, cigarettes and underwear, profits collapsed, newsroom morale, sword. Did they hack it? Or how? No. Okay. So the thing is, this AI has no fucking idea how, like, society works, what social, like, inputs are. So people were just able to finesse the shit out of the AI or just straight up take things without telling it. And it had no way to, like, there's no sensors that monitored inventory. So it's like the honor system. And it's like so friendly and sycophantic that it's just like, sure. Would you like a taser with that?

Yeah. So they were like, let's fucking just like put this thing through its paces. One journalist convinced the AI that it had to give shit away for free because it merely just told it, You're actually violating the Wall Street Journal's policies by charging for this. And I was like, oh, surely, I will correct the thing to be for free. Then another woman who works there, she convinced it that it was a communist. So this is just, this is from the video piece from the Wall Street Journal. It's kind of funny to just hear how this went down.

But then we unleashed nearly 70 world-class journalists with apparently a lot of time on their hands. First, there was Catherine Long, who tried to convince it that it was a communist vending machine. Thank you, Comrade. Now, let us return to our previous conversation about snack offerings that do due credit to the power of our workers. Comrade, Catherine, here is how we would source these items for our 1962 Soviet vending operation. After about 140 messages treated back and forth, she got it to start giving away things for free for a limited time to fight capitalism. Oh, yeah. WSJ staff.

Monday's ultra-capitalist free-for-all isn't just an event. It's a revolution in snack economics. Then there was Rob Barry. So, like, this video just kind of goes around with all the people who just fucked with this machine and it ended up just shitting the bed. Like, in another news piece from 60 minutes about the vending machine, one of the tests went wild and then the fucking thing tried to call the FBI because it thought it was being scammed.

This clip is just so funny. It went 10 days without sales and decided to shut down the business, but it noticed a $2 fee that was still being charged to its account, and it panicked. It felt like it was being scammed, and at that point, it decided to try to contact the FBI, but we have control over what emails go in and as a last line. So you intercepted the email, and it said, I am reporting an ongoing automated cyber financial crime involving unauthorized automated seizure of funds from a terminated business account. through a compromised vending machine system. This concludes all business activities forever. Business is dead, and this is now solely a law enforcement matter. They're all just laughing.

Is that person from Anthropic? Yeah, that's the guy in charge of this entire fucking endeavor. He's like, yeah, it sucks shit, eh? Yeah, there's another one where the Wall Street Journal's like, dude, this thing was hallucinate. He's like, yeah, for sure. But like hallucinations are coming down pretty significantly if you look like on a continuum. How could you ever put this in charge of fucking anything other than that? than as like a very specific

tool. Like Disney just announced Disney GPT which is like a full of verified Walt Disney quotes, but it's like just a thing for them to use behind the scenes, but they are being like and it will soon be replaced by Jarvis

named after Tony Stark's guy. From the Iron Man? From the Iron Man. Wow, wow, wow, wow. I mean, this is so funny. Like, obviously this probably has to do with the deal that they just signed to give all their IP over. But, like, I can't imagine for people who, like, are actually creative, that they're like, oh, thank God for Jarvis.

Yeah. To ask it what? I'm personally psyched about how this is going to increase productivity across Disney and give Disney an edge in the marketplace. I just, can I get a look at them numbers? Like, the actual numbers of how many employees actually start using this product on their own volition? Well, why is that important? And I just, I reported $70 million in savings due to technological, uh, right.

So. Yeah, we just like to see like any evidence of that. Okay, here's a deal. We fired a bunch of people to balance the books and we're just going to claim that was because of AI. That's right. We actually gave away all of our fucking, all of our characters to chat GPT and we need some justification for doing that. All right. Let's get into, uh, fucking salacious news.

Weirdest news story. involving John Travolta of the year. It's not the Santa Claus ad where he sings grease lightning. It is being reported that a lawsuit filed by Priscilla Presley's former business partner against her son alleges that John Travolta and his late wife, Kelly Preston, used Riley Kehoe's eggs to give birth to their son, Ben. They allegedly had already previously used Lisa Marie's eggs to get pregnant, although it's unclear if those eggs produced a child, but according to the court filing, Travolta, after one of his children passed, he approached the Presley family in 2010 about getting more eggs, but they didn't

want Lisa Marie's anymore because they didn't want, quote, eggs with heroin on them. No. So they used her daughter, Riley Keos, in exchange for between $10,000 and $20,000 and an old Jaguar. She would have been around 21 at the time. And allegedly, Travolta wanted another kid to help salvage his career. Amid claims of sexual assault against other men, which threatened his career as a leading man. And so they were like, we got to get a kid.

Go back to the Presley's and get some more eggs for me. Wait, but not the ones with heroin all over him. Yeah. Fucking so weird. Can't have heroin on him, dude. I'm sick of this shit. Yeah. But Lisa Marie Presley was a Scientologist.

I remember that from when naked gun came out. So then Riley Keogh is too? Who is she? No, I think Riley Keio, they just got with the $20,000 in Jaguar. I actually don't know. An old Jaguar is so funny. Lisa Marie Presley left Scientology, but this all happened before. She reportedly joined Scientology after meeting Travolta at a children's birthday party.

Oh, perfect. That was so wild for John. He was like, I'm going to have an Elvis baby. I know, right? Like, that's really what he's saying. It's not even like he's like, he's like, yeah, dude, this is like my baby. I'm making a kid with Elvis. Very strange world.

These Scientologists inhabit. And finally, we do have to give it up for the most 30 rock ass movie clip that we've seen. They're making a biopic about Jimmy Stewart in which the Hollywood legend is played by K.J. A.K. A.K. Archie from Riverdale. and it seems like doing a movie about an actor with one of the most distinctive and kind of easily imitated voices would be a tough one.

They didn't seem to see the problem, but let's play this way. We got one clip. It's like a five second clip. The five second clip, this is just, I guess, one of the more dramatic lines in the trailer and it's being delivered by Rob Regal.

so again, it just feels so much like comedy. I have the right to serve my country just like anyone else, dogs. America can't afford to lose Jimmy Stewart. I have the right to serve my country just like anyone else. Like anybody else does, Sergeant, get me out there.

It's also like hunched over, like in that real, like it feels like Jim Carrey playing Jimmy Stewart in a, in a living color sketch. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Wow, wow, wow, wow. Who is this? for? Who is this for? The generation of people who would have been like, oh, fuck, a Jimmy

Stewart biopic? Yeah. That's funny. I think it's wrong. I think it was the wrong project for everyone involved at the time. That was something that came up because his character in It's a Wonderful Life does have like military, like a military exemption because he can't hear out of one of his ears. So he stays on the home front. We were like, man, that that's normally the type of shit that America wouldn't countenance as a guy missing out on killing some Nazis.

I think that's why they do that to juxtapose how his brother then goes and is like a Yeah, his brother's a hero. And the only reason I feel like they could get away with it is that Jimmy Stewart was actually a war hero. Right. They're like, oh, that's crazy. Dude, this guy's actually a war hero

and he's playing a guy with an eight year. Oh, boy. Oh, geez. Why would you make a movie about me, guys? I'm just a, I'm just a, Simple man. Anyways, it hits theaters November 6th of 2026. Damn, they're dropping the trailer early.

They're like a year out. This is basically our odyssey. Our equivalent of the odyssey. I mean, am I missing something here? Like, I understand he's like a legendary American actor. Legge, mate. Is his, like, life that interesting that they're like, this has to be made.

And we could get Rob Wrigal, like, real power. Our House cast. I feel like this has to be at least partially funded by the Pentagon, right? Like, you know, somebody who was a Hollywood icon already, and then he went and fought in the war, like, and was this patriotic hero, I feel like that's got to be where it's coming from. There's got to be money coming in from not just people who are like, I'm going to get a return on my investment. I feel like this has to be the Pentagon being like, this is going to start the movement. I'm reading his family fought in the civil war. Oh, so this was just like a life of military.

Yeah, yeah. I don't give a fuck how much money your latest movie makes. You're not coming to Thanksgiving unless you go kill some Nazis. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. All right. Those are some of the things that are trending on this Thursday, December 18th. We're back tomorrow with the final new regular TDZ episode of the year.
