Asian focus like mystery, but focused on People with who are like trying to date Asian women. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh my guys, the reason you're striking out with women is because your chopstick game is all fucked up, dude. You know what this looks like? Look, guys, I'm Asian. OK, my mom's Asian.

Hello, the internet, and welcome to season 363, episode two of Dirt Zike Ice Day production of I Heart Radio. This is a podcast where we take a deep dive into America's shared consciousness. It is Tuesday, November 5th, 2024. Oh, fuck.

Oh, shit. Miles. Fuck. I said take your time today. Take your time today. Take your time today. What the fuck am I saying? Loosen my collar over here.

What? I just love that for whatever reason, there's, it's National Donut Day and National Love Your Red Hair Day. Yeah. Do it. Donuts and Red Hair. Everyone's like fuck man. I'm proud of you guys. I'm proud of you guys. Proud of you guys.

Don't let the... America's having a weird one and don't let that fuck you up, donuts and people with red hair. Hell no. Hell no. Although I think Dunkies is giving up the... didn't we say Dunkin's part of the... no, Krispy Kreme. I think you can get part of the Krispy Kreme.

They're stealing it. Oh, oh, oh. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They got a steal of a deal going on They'll give you a free doughnut for a fake. I voted here Can you imagine that would happen like in a new Trump like a trump 2.0 world where that is like a new marketing Like you can't stop this deal. Yeah, I think that's probably new marketing thing like you can't stop this deal. Yeah, I think that's probably coming. Like the world is gonna be so weird in the second Trump administration.

If he wins, we're really, I don't think we're prepared for how strange it will get. But could get who knows? Who knows? We don't know. Right now we don't know. We don't know. My name, I know one thing though, Miles.

My name is Jack O'Brien, AKA Undecided Vacant Stairs and Drool. Undecided Low Info. It's cool. That one courtesy of less than zero on the discord spelled all hackery and shit. Less than sign X3RO in reference to the fact that we are America's only undecided podcast proudly low info. Although I guess I can personally announce I have decided to remain undecided. I just like them so much. I'm just I'm hoping the New York times will stay interested in me after the, because like, you know, the, the New York times love, if, especially if it's a bad

result for the Democrats, the New York times loves to interview anybody who had something to do with that bad result. So I will just be after election day, hanging out in a diner somewhere in the Midwest, waiting for the New York Times to come through. Rather than being like, how come the campaign wasn't appealing enough to enough voters? It'd be like, how come you didn't vote for them? Ah, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.

How come you didn't do it? Shut the fuck up about that. What's this guy's deal? What's this specific guy's deal? Because it's not the right worship of Democrats. Yeah. Nope. I'm thrilled to be joined as always by my co-host, Mr.

Miles Gray, Miles Gray, a.k.a. Mouse meat. Try it. Try it. Well done. A bloody and raw mouse meat. Try it. Try it. Open wide and under his that onions that job. Mouse meat. Try it. Try it. Get a rodent burger to go. that one. Yes, yes, yes. And for the cycle on this election day.

Reference to a very racist event in American history. If you don't know about the zoo, it's the zoo. It's the zoo. It's the zoo. It's the zoo. It's the zoo. It's the zoo. It's the zoo. On this election day. Reference to a very racist event in American history.

Don't, if you don't know about the zoot suit riots, just do yourself a favor and educate yourself. But at the time we were like, dude, what's this band called cherry popping daddies? This sounds like the sickest fucking band ever. They kind of snapped on that name though. Cherry popping daddies is a cool name. Probably. I wonder what those crowds were like.

Uh, I believe they were probably dressed in hats and, uh, suits, right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Swing dancing here like fools, just swing dancing into each other. Compound fractures from swing dancing. Miles, we are thrilled to be joined in our third seat on this election day by a very funny

comedian, actor, writer, improviser, his special spiritually filthy. You ought to go check it out right now. Anywhere you check out your comedy, it's on YouTube. It's everywhere. It's on YouTube. It's everywhere. It's more bros. What's up dudes. Grateful to be here on this profoundly troubling day. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. It'll be fine. It'll be fine. It'll be fine. It'll be fine. If it is fine, it's fine. You say as, as a miles says that like a drunk person trying to steal the keys back to drive them

or like or like I told I told my card crashing into a police car. You didn't want the light anyway. Anytime somebody repeats the phrase, it's fine. 11 times, you know, they're doing really good. Yeah, I actually think it's going to be good. Jack, I love that you like both candidates equally. You've just been watching this entire campaign and each time, how are they both nailing it? Both so good. Another one out of the park. I mean, it's just like, who do I like more?

But more, it's great to have you here. How are you dealing with the strange situation we all find ourselves in on this election day? Yeah, I'm doing all right. I'm trying to limit the best of my ability limit my media consumption to shit that I agree with, which is helpful. And yeah, and I don't know, I feel good about the election.

I know that sounds insane, but sort of the stuff that I've been looking at does say that like women are voting in high numbers. And I think that's Goddamn excellent for us. Yeah, I agree I feel like cautiously optimistic and then I remember that I felt cautiously optimistic in 2016 and 2020 more than cautious like I Actually, I think I was filled with dredge Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I think every time that there's been a Trump election,

I've been filled with dread. So I don't know. But I do like there are signs, there are little breadcrumbs that suggest maybe things are better than they look in some of the mainstream media polling. Yeah. We don't know. Someone's coping.

We don't know which side of the aisle's media is coping harder. Look, when I look at it like this, like the optics of the thing where Kamala was in front of the White House, in front of seventy five thousand people looking like a sci-fi movie about a female president. And then and then Trump, 12 hours later, is inside a trash truck. What says his name on the side? Like, is Joe Rogan writing the rest of his campaign? You know what I mean?

Like, hey, if the mic goes out deep throat, it that'll be funny. You know, like, yeah, you know, being like, yeah, just say whatever race and cycle shit comes to your head, daddy. Yeah, that's that's that's why I'm like saying like from a from a vibe perspective, it definitely feels like the Trump side is very deflated. And I think that's the one thing I'm like, again, it feels very different to the elections that were much closer. So I don't know. I look, maybe I'm coping, you know, who cares? Yeah.

Just take your time today. Just take your time. Yeah. Be easy. If you've done it with all that you can chill, give yourself a break, man. What's the time? Like when, when the results start coming in, it'll be like nine o'clock Eastern. Is that about right?

So people can not be like completely plugged in. The, the one thing I remember is I've been horribly misled and disappointed by exit polls before I think exit polls were like, carries running away with it in 2004. So I'm going to do my best today to ignore exit polls and just, I'll get, try and see how long I can hold my breath underwater for most of the day. I think. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just see how that goes.

But everybody's going to be dealing with it their own way. Mort, we're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First, we're going to tell the listeners a couple of things we're talking about today. We do just want to check in with the Trump campaign. They had an interesting closing weekend. Mort, you already kind of made reference to the Kamala Harris campaign's closing statement, their Get Out the Vote weekend included an appearance on Saturday Night Live.

It kicked off with a speech at the nation's capital looking like, yeah, it did look like it was out of a movie. Fucking dystopia, if you ask me, man. Brother. No, it did look like something. Yeah. It was just very carefully put together message of like, Hey, we're, we love them all.

Don't we folks? Uh, Dick Cheney is fine. Uh, you know, things that I don't necessarily agree with, but things that we're kind of in keeping with what the strategy of their campaign has seemed to be up to this point, we're going to look at what the Trump campaign's closing weekend looked like though, because it was different. This guy is really different, it seems. So we'll look at that.

We'll look at the fuckery, the planned fuckery, how they plan on implying that the election is stolen if they do in fact lose. We will check in with the peanut, the squirrel thing. Look, look. I don't fucking know, man. Again, a good indicator of where the vibes are for people to be like, yeah, exactly. This is why the country is so fucking backwards. Yeah. There's a campaign, an election map that is like colored all the states in blue that were

intensely searching Kamala SNL and then colored all the states in red that were searching peanut the squirrel. And it's like it is basically what people expect. I tried replicating that in Google Trends, and I did not get that same result. As much as I wanted to believe that. I love the idea. I believe, you know, I believe in that map.

And then I want to check in with Tucker Carlson and see how he's doing, because, you know, he's going to be a major force in the Trump presidency, where if Trump is to win. And yeah, just want to see how he's doing. What's what he's up to. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. All right, but before all that more We do like to ask our guest. What is something from your search history? That's revealing about who you are Yeah, beautiful search history stuff. It's cuz a lot of it's kind of boring. I did just this is what a I'm a little bit of a pretentious movie guy that I looked up

an experimental film called Dream of the Wild Horses recently that looks to be quite amazing. Please don't judge me for my weird pretentious academia. No, that's not- Wait, what? It's good? I'm getting you saying it looks good? Yeah, it's supposed to be beautiful. I haven't watched it yet.

I think it's on YouTube, but yeah, it's in, well, this is thematically appropriate. Every time I'm here, I talk about skateboarding. It's influential in this like cult classic masterpiece skateboard video called Spirit Quest, shout out Colin Reed. Check out Spirit Quest if you get a chance, it's fucking, it's a mind blower, baby. Dream of the wild horses.

Does that mean that it's a dream about wild horses or it's a, it shows you what wild horses are dreaming about? I think like all deep, profound art, it's up to the viewer's interpretation. So I'd love to see what they're dreaming about. Wait, is that, is that skate video for like a specific team? No, it's an independent video out of New York, probably like 10 years ago. This guy's an independent filmmaker, so he'll have different people from different teams and stuff.

OK, cool. Yeah. Different than, yeah, their traditional way we're used to seeing skate videos. Yeah. Or like a collection of like, yeah, montage. Right. Yep. That sounds pretty cool, man.

Yeah. Dream of the wild horses. That sounds like not election stuff. Yeah. You might check that out. Like, wait, my brain is kind of coming around to that. There's no elections, too. I like that.

The yeah, it came out in 1960 and you can you can go watch it somewhere. What is something you think is underrated? Man, underrated naps. Naps. Deeply underrated. I went yesterday. Did you? How was it? Fucking great.

See, I think everybody's fucking exhausted. I think that's the thing that actually unifies us as a country is that every human being needs nine hours straight of sleep and then a two hour nap in the afternoon. It's like the nap, the new pizza or something. We're like, hey, everybody can get behind that, right? Yeah.

Naps? Come on. Without naps. Dude, a couch nap with like a light amber sunshine peeking in through the window or you, you know, and you get a, it's not like, you don't want an hour nap. You want a 20 minute nap or a two and a half hour nap. You know what I mean? Either on either side of that is what is what you need.

You wake up and isn't it like a REM cycle, like 90 minutes or like three hours or something. There's like a very specific time, like a duration, right? For like actual restful naps versus other ones. And do you want to like not wake up in the middle of your REM cycle or something? Right. And then you're like, oh fuck. Yeah, right. I want the one where I, when I'm waking up, I'm in the liminal space where I can't tell if I'm 10 years old or my current age. You know what I'm talking about? Right. Where you are.

Yeah. When you're, yeah, you're straddling the dream world and the real world. And you're straddling the dream world in the real world. Yeah, and they're sorting out different details of your life to be like, is that real or was that just the dream one? Yeah. That's my kid. Yeah, yeah, my kid looks slick. I got the one with the glasses and the one without. I think that's right. Where's my name badge for the coach store? Do I have to go in today? Did I marry an eagle or I had a human wife? I can't remember. Right. Wife, wife, wife. And it's like, it's a wife. Did I have to go in today? Did I marry an eagle or I had a human wife? I can't remember.

Wife, wife, wife. It's a wife. You're like, oh, there you are, Bertie. Still dreaming. Man, I got to say, I'm really excited that you are our guest on election day. This motherfucker is calm, cool, and collected. He is Googling movies about dreams, experimental movies about dreams, and big upping naps, and feels good about the election.

This is goals, I guess the kids say. Yeah, man, long time ago I learned that if I don't set my intention for my mood, I become like, I don't wanna say, for my mood, I become like, I don't want to say, well, clinically depressed. You know what I mean? If I don't like, and I've heard of that. And I've heard of this. Yes, yes, yes.

Like, if I don't make an effort to check out other stuff that makes me feel good, everything is a nihilistic hellscape, you know? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Do you guys have a media plan for the rest of the day? I know you were saying that you're gonna like only look at stuff that makes you feel good. Like, does that, is that just like, okay, we're checking like polls that we think make us feel good? Or are you going to just watch like your five favorite animated films?

It's also stuff that I agree with. I was looking at this lady, Arlene Unfiltered, and she seems like a very middle of the road, middle age white lady with like maybe a Michigan accent. But she seems very like studious. I like stuff that's not salacious. And she's like, basically, look, polls don't mean anything. Polls literally do not mean anything. But there are we know now that there are I want to say it's 600,000 new voters in Georgia compared to 2020. That's like a huge number, right? And I personally don't believe that he's gaining numbers in that way. I don't think he's capable of like getting past his window. Whereas I think people are moving to Georgia and those, you know, especially like Hollywood people, there's a lot of industry stuff

happening. And also people coming of age too, becoming voting age. That's exactly right. And where do they, you know, how do they lean? You know what I mean? A lot of, yeah. Yeah. I mean, we'll see. He's made some pretty strong closing arguments, but we'll.

I think he's, he looks great. He looks healthy and hydrated. He looks really, I think the colors that are happening Like are truly what I mean I guess that's like what you get when you just like go with the gut on Everything from what comes out of your mouth to like what goes on your face on your face Yeah, he's gone from orange to like a mahogany steak color Yeah, yeah, or like he's doing that like bodybuilder blackface It looks that shade Are you about to take your shirt off? It's our flexing

This is a weird ass shade on him He's stalled slowly trying to look more and more Puerto Rican. Yeah What do we think guys did you see my eyebrows? I've got the two I got the two slits in my eyebrows You know that body quote. Weony quah, we're out here. Wepa, okay, here we go, vote for me. More, what's something you think's overrated? Man, overrated these days. I'm gonna say it guys, controversial.

I'm not feeling these tiny dogs lately. These tiny dogs out here in Los Angeles keep coming at my beautiful pit bull Cody, who is the sweetest boy alive. And here's the thing about tiny dogs, I think. I think they understand they're not supposed to be that tall, that small. I think tiny dogs know that they're like, I can't take care of my owner, I can't protect myself.

So they freak the fuck out. And out here, I think people, not everyone, but a lot of times they're using these dogs as accessories as opposed to like creatures. Yeah. Living beings, you know? So just not feeling it's a living football. I can clutch in public.

Yeah. Cool. Yeah. Yeah. To put in the, yeah, I think the, like, to your point, like the mentality of a small dog is like, sort of like how white supremacy has people thinking like they can do shit that they actually can't like in the same way. Like you're going to pull up to a pit bull.

That's really weird. Not to say all pit bulls are necessarily going to respond violently, but like just in presentation, you're like, yeah, this big motherfucker. Oh yeah. Have you seen me? I'm a chihuahua Doberman. I'm a miniature Doberman. So, yeah, you better watch out.

Consequences in the relation to your size, like you would have if this were, you know, a world without rules. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. For sure. For sure. And again, I, and I hate that they're coming for your pit bull because I, I

only know sweet pit bulls. Dude, he's the best. And like you're saying he could cut them in half with his mouth and he never, he's so gentle and cool. You know what I'm like? You guys are very lucky. Yeah. And you tell the owner of the little dog that too. You're like, he could.

He's not going to do it, but he could just FYI. Have you seen his- He can decapitate your fur, baby. Look at his jaw and neck muscles, dude. He can bite me in half, dude. Look at that. He chooses not to because he's wise. That's right.

Yeah, yeah. He's secure, right? All bullies are insecure. And people that are confident in themselves tend to be calm and understated, know because they know yeah I think there's always like memes or like it's like they're reducing like some like you know small dude who's like being angry at the world I mean like and that's like a little dog barking at the world it's yeah it is something I've always been jealous of

dogs and dinosaurs about though I just think that that would be such a fun wrinkle. If just to Pete to fight them. No, just humans. Humans could be like one one hundredth the size of like another human. Like we just had to figure out how to get by with that. You know, right. Yeah. People's various personalities were just shaped by like, yeah, he's pretty small on the,

uh, you know, expected height growth scale. He's going to be one 20th the size of your large son. That's so beautiful. Like people the size of Tinkerbell or whatever. And then, yeah, no, that's so, I love that so much. I mean, fantasy has like, you know, always messed with this a little bit with giants and, uh, elves and, you know, but messed with this a little bit with giants and elves. And, you know, but I feel like just going, going all the way.

Yeah. There's just a crap shoot. This bit of we're going to now about how I think it's bullshit that are here. I think what should happen is that you should grow taller. The older you are forever. That's what my kids think. I think it's bullshit that there's people that are younger than me that are taller than me.

It should be like, hey, I wish these 90 year olds would stop bullying us, but they're eight foot four. What can you do? I'm 84 and eight foot four. Fuck with me. You want to see my rings? Nobody would ever make it to 84. They'd just start tipping over in their sixties. Could you imagine? Yeah. You want to see my rings? Yeah. Nobody would ever make it to 84. They'd just start tipping over in their 60s.

Oh, could you imagine? Yeah. Yeah. With our, yeah. Like does, does the increased size still come like with the breakdown of your joints and things like that? In my mind, you get more and more powerful until the moment that you die. Yeah. Oh, right.

Right, right, right. Okay. All right. I'm with that. I think we were, I think we're creating a pretty interesting fantasy world that we can all escape into if Trump does indeed It's actually called genetics. I Believe in them. Look at them. I've got good. I'm gonna make all the elderly giant Will be huge

but yeah, my kids do think that the taller you are the older you are and that I am older than their mom, but younger than anybody who's taller than me. I agree with them. And I agree. I think they're right. I think I should just let them let that cook. Just be like, yup, that's correct. Yeah. Yeah.

That's not going to lead anywhere weird. Like the dad who taught his kids only Klingon as like a fun experiment. The dad that's absorbing his son's blood. Yeah, that guy's just cool. All right, let's take a quick break and we'll be right back. My name is Brandon Kyle Goodman. I'm a black gay non-binary author, TV writer, actor, and I'm messy. But not in the way you think. Messy as in I'm human and flawed. I'm on a mission to destroy shame around sex.

And the only way to do that is to talk about sex. So that's what we'll do on my brand new podcast, Tell Me Something Messy. Okay, let's play this messy round of Smash or Pass. OK, here it is. Smash or Pass, spit play. I don't know. I don't know how I feel about bodily fluids being on me, unless it's...

On Thanksgiving Day 1999, a five-year-old boy floated alone in the ocean. He had lost his mother trying to reach Florida from Cuba. He looked like a little angel.

I mean, he looked so fresh. And his name, Elian Gonzalez, will make headlines everywhere. Elian Gonzalez. Elian, Elian. Elian. Elian. Elian.

Elian. Elian. Elian. Elian Gonzalez. Elian Gonzalez. Elian Gonzalez. Elian Gonzalez. At the heart of the story is a young boy and the question of who he belongs with. His father in Cuba. Mr. Gonzalez wanted to go home and he wanted to take his son with him. Or his relatives in Miami.

Imagine that your mother died trying to get you to freedom. At the heart of it all is still this painful family separation. Something that as a Cuban, I know all too well. Listen to Chess Piece, the Elian Gonzalez story, as part of the MyCultura podcast network, available on the iHeart radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. And it's all about how you finish folks. Finish strong, baby. You know, the Kentucky Derby. Trump likes to talk about race horses when he's talking race science. He does like to bring up race horses.

That is true. I mean, I guess maybe that's a good place to start because look, this is geo, this was geo TV weekend, get out the vote weekend. This is where you want your fucking campaign at peak energy levels. You want people fucking levitating out of their seats because they're so ready to vote and support you. And Trump again, man, just bringing it like, like to your point, this interesting line in Pennsylvania or, you again, man, just bringing it like, like to your point, this interesting line in Pennsylvania or just listen to this. I don't know how what this what is this really in relation to, but he's a smart guy.

You know, it's a little strange. I'm I'm a pretty smart guy. I have genetic. Do you believe in genetics? You have genetics. Fast resources, produce fast resources, whether you like it or not. And, but I'm a very, I believe in it. And like I'm smart. Like I'm smart.

Way to finish strong, like you're a 15 year old trying to make your case for a date or something. And like, I'm like, I'm smart. You believe in genetics? You've been, I'm a race horse. Did I pronounce that incorrectly? No, it's genet- Oh shit, Donald, please.

Yeah. So he's absolutely exhausted, senile, weird, all of it. Just again, I'll just go through a couple of the hits here. On Thursday, right, on Halloween, he was in Henderson, Nevada. Again, this is just a collection of loose Trump quotes that have happened in the last like five days. This one is about talking Elon Musk up

and how he's good at computer. Elon Musk told me he's the greatest. I would say you gotta say, in terms of computer, I would say he's probably about as good as you get. And you know, okay, you know, the man with a grasp on technology.

I hope I hope that the heel thinks there's only one computer. When he was young, you know, there was one, it was in a room. What? There's only one big, one beautiful computer. We all have to share it. A cold room. They all wear bunny suits. Exactly.

Have you ever seen them? You can't get the dust in there. It'll die. Computer will die, but he's pretty good at computer. And I'm like smart. The best at computer is so fun. The, the first, the, the Pennsylvania one where he was going into his race science. He had, that was also the one where he told people like he wouldn't mind if they

shot through the, like if an assassin shot through the media, which I don't know. I'd be okay with that. It's, it's fun, fun little jokes from somebody who has threatened to like kill his enemies. Right. Right. Yeah. Um, then he went to Wisconsin, a contested swing state, um, and had a rally in Milwaukee where he did like what any politician does. You evoke the local sports team and kind of show like, look, I know what's going on.

I know what's going on with Milwaukee baby. And he decided that was a good moment to dabble in just some light racism for the crowd. Um, here he is talking, what he, who he's referencing is Yannis Atatokounmpo who plays for the Milwaukee Bucks when he talks about the Greek. Okay. By the way, it had never been known that he's called the Greek freak or was for a while before he became one of the best players in the NBA.

And now people usually don't refer to him as that, but no, no, here we go. But here he is. Your team is very good. I would say the Greek is a seriously good player. Do you agree? And tell me who has more Greek in him, the Greek or me? I think we have about the same, right? He's referencing the fact that his family immigrated from Nigeria to Greece.

And he's like, no, that's weird. He's African. Why the response was like, yeah, exactly. You've been like that. No, they're like, bro, like what? I'm at a Trump rally and I don't, I'm not psyched by that bit of racism that weirded me out also, uh, Yannis is somebody that they really don't want to leave the state right now.

He's, you know, their team is actually playing, actually playing pretty shitty so far this season and everybody in Milwaukee is very worried that he's going to leave the team. So not, not a great moment for him to come in and be like, you guys are really good, except something racist about your best player who you're trying to convince to stick around. Yeah, I'm more Greek than him. Am I right, folks? I'm high. Tell me that you agree, Milwaukee. Isn't it weird? Why does he call himself Greek? He doesn't look Greek to me. I think that was a Hinchcliffe joke. Again, I think Tony's on the side just writing as quick as he can, writing like racist shit.

Trump's got more Greek in him than anybody. I mean, if he honest, he's Greek. Look, okay, try that one, Donald. And then again, just, he went to North Carolina. He's going to, he's been going to North Carolina a lot, which I think suggests that they are very worried about North Carolina going blue, which again, that would seem to, like with other forecasting seems to kind of fall in line with what polling is showing very worried about North Carolina going blue, which again, that would seem to, like with

other forecasting seems to kind of fall in line with what polling is showing that it's not trending in the way that Trump would want. And again, gave a really cool closing argument to the people of Greensboro, North Carolina with this fucking banger of a quote when he's just like basically begging and then just being like, fuck y'all, I don't got to be here. You got it. Look, if I don't win this thing, after all this talk, I'm in trouble. You please go and vote.

I mean, I came here, whatever the hell time it is, who the hell knows. I'm giving you the full bore. You wouldn't let me leave in half an hour. I could have run up here, done it, start screaming, make America great again for five or six times and then leave to the cheers of the crowd. I would have been home sleeping right now. Yeah. Okay. Sleepy Joe Biden. It's always tough to like, obviously he doesn't drink, but sometimes he sounds drunk. I think it's because dentures are coming out. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, yeah, I mean, it's just not, not to like make this all about appearances, but it does just like kind of underscore this impression that he's literally

falling apart at the seams, like he's putting weird paint on his body. His mouth seems to be falling apart as he's just being like, I don't know, man. Just like, look for me, please. This know, man. Just vote for me, please. It would be good for me. And that's all I can really promise. Please, I need to help. What is it all for? I need your vote. Okay.

The other thing is that Milwaukee rally was the place where he did the Microphone BJ thing. And then his supporters were like, oh, you need some context around the video. And it's like, I don't know you want the like, what context like there's not he's like, and I'm not about to blow the microphone. And that's not what happened. He just clearly decided, you know what, this is phallic. And yeah, here's my it's called space work. Okay, for the from the people don't know improv. All right. Yeah, I've been on stage and know how desperate you can get for a laugh. And that's a very like that's a very like year three stand up move.

Right. Right. You know what I mean? Like a lonely place. Well, what if I did that for the jerk off? They're like, OK, you see, be told me to heighten. OK, I got to bring this. I got to bring. All right. Oh, somebody found the game of this sketch. Increasing sexualized objects. The bit was that the microphone wasn't working that well, and so he had to hold an actual microphone at which point he started talking about how tired it made his arms because he's

like very strong. And then there was something with like a jack-off hand motion. Yeah. And then people laughed because that's a weird presidential. Yeah. Yeah. And then he was so then like you said more, he went from jerk off hand motion to, all right, I'm going to fucking gag this thing. Yeah.

Like gag on. You want to know, y'all want to see the real throat goat? It feels like something he would have said at this point. Ronald Reagan in one, baby. Yeah. They don't know, they don't know. Anyway, vote for me, please. He really, he's the color.

And again, you're right, this is all superficial, but I do think it's related to his internal life. That he now, he's the color of like, like a penny held in a sweaty man's hand for a long time. It's like, it's like so. Look at the patina on, it's more of a patina now than it hand for a long time. It's like, it's like- Look at the patina on it. It's more of a patina now than it is like a skin tone. It's some kind of oxidation that's happening.

Yeah, it looks like it would be bad for you. It looks like it would be the face paint that like didn't one of the people in The Wizard of Oz, their face paint, I think maybe the Wicked Witch like ended up killing them or like being really bad. What? Yeah, no, all that's. Was it the Tin Man? Yeah, he was, yeah, it was.

I feel like the Whip. Yeah. One of them had like, their costume was basically made out of asbestos and then somebody else, one of the other ones, their makeup was like highly toxic and it probably was the Tin Man. Oh yeah.

Tin Man's toxic metal makeup. He was hospitalized while making The Wizard of Oz. Because he was inhaling aluminum, basically, via the powder makeup. Yikes. But Trump's makeup kind of has that patina metallic copper. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like a statue. Statuesque is what I call that.

Bronze statuesque. That's like, can you be cast as a copper? Statuesque is what I call that. Bronze, statuesque. That's what they say about me. Yeah, like you just stepped off 11 hours in a beautiful Miami beach. Right, yeah. Yeah, he also kept talking about my beautiful white skin. There's a bunch of weird shit. But anyway, while that's-

So all that stuff, the race stuff is like, I just still remember during his administration when he would say, do horrifyingly racist things and his approval rating would like kind of solidify or it wouldn't go down. It wouldn't plummet. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Right. So still like worrying, but also kind of a weird get up.

Well, cause it seems like the other thing too, is it's not the racism that's hurting him. It's like the misogyny, the lack of agency for people, the lack of ability to decide what your own health care and what to do with your body is definitely hitting harder than like, they're like, people are like, I don't know, racism, whatever.

Vote for me on the basis that I really want you to. It would be much better for me than if you didn't. Yeah. It seems to be his closing message. For you. But then again, so then alongside this, right, you also have like the Atlantic just put out an article about like just all the wacky shit and infighting in the Trump campaign. And there's a lot of details in this piece.

And some of the big ones are like before Biden dropped out, Trump apparently wanted to call him the R word as a new nickname. Like that was like his name, he's like, I got a new one. Call him R word, R word Joe Biden. And his staffer was like, dude, what the f***? No. What are you? Like, huh? And so how about Mr. Disabled? about a, no dude, no. How about mentally written? No, no, no. I thought maybe if I put mentally before, okay, fine, fine. But there's like, the other things they were saying was that like, he also, like

Trump became tired of like not sundowning in public and want like, they were like, yo, this disciplined version of you is like, you're, you're doing good in the polls because you're not out there. And he's like, no. He's like, what the this disciplined version of you is like, you're, you're doing good in the polls because you're not out there. And he's like, no, he's like, what the hell did discipline you for winning? So he got out there and started doing his shit again. The other thing that's really interesting is that, um, the nomination of JD Vance. So his staffers are like a bunch of terminally online bigots. And like, so they became part of like the campaign staff too, because they

are part of his Vance's yeah. Vance's and there's one guy named Alex Bruce. And this guy apparently was like the person who was like the sort of conduit from like online conspiracy bullshit to getting JD Vance to say it out loud. He was like the one who's been like, Hey dude, the people of Haitia are eating pets in Ohio? Sure. JD Vance like, I like that.

I don't see anything wrong with that. I'm going to do it and triple and quadruple down on it. Also find out that this same guy, Bruce, it's is the one that was like, we need Tony Hinchcliffe to speak at the Madison square garden rally and you're like, Oh, so a lot of people have said that that rally, especially the Hinchcliffe stuff was a huge blow to Trump's chances. I mean, maybe obviously, but his whole shit is just like out there racism. So I'm a little skeptical. But there is this part in this article from the

Atlantic that does make me think twice about it. It's because Stephen Stephen Miller apparently was not happy about this. This is from the Atlantic quote, according to two people who are present Miller, the Trump policy advisor whose own nativist impulses are well documented said, you should have given that line to me. My joke. He said, was not offended by Hingedcliffe's racist jokes, yet he was angered by them all the same. Quote, or I think it's colon, he knew the campaign had just committed a huge unforced error. He believed that Bruce wits had done profound damage to Trump's electoral process or prospects. So there's

already the finger jabbing finger pointing happening before election day. I don't know. That's when you put in the column of like, oh, that's usually, I don't hear about those two like way after, but if we're getting ahead of it, okay, there's another piece of news or I'm like, I don't know if it really indicates things as much or they talk about how the internal emails from the Trump campaign or they're using words like, God, God willing, Trump wins, we can stuff like that, like in the event he wins rather than like when he wins, it's very like,

I don't know, guys, he might lose. So we don't know. Yeah. I mean, his message on the road has been that it's like a sure thing. And the only thing, the only possible way he loses is if it's stolen from him. And I mean, people are writing about how there's, you know, there is like actual reporting being done. That's saying that they are going to use the polls, the polling that said it was like neck and neck to if Harris does end up, you know, winning comfortably, like use that as evidence that it's being stolen. And yeah, it seems like there's actual like on the ground shit happening with regards to like election monitoring. Yeah. It seems like there's actual like on the ground shit happening with regards to like election monitoring.

Totally. I mean, so let's also, let's like, while it is fun to laugh at the, you know, disintegrating Trump campaign, maybe, let's, let us not forget about the fuckery that is also part of their plan. So states like Texas and Florida have essentially banned DOJ election monitors from the state's polling places and like ballot counting facilities. Like they're there to monitor for any fuckery that goes down. And you might be asking yourself, how can they do that? Well, that's because the Supreme Court, you can thank them for gutting the Voting Rights Act.

So now it's like the process is the Department of Justice like, will you let us monitor? And if the states say no, then no, they can't. You can't go inside. You can be outside, but you can't come in. Sorry, this party's for us. In The New York Times, they're reporting the Proud Boys and other right wing freak groups are organizing on like Telegram for some voter intimidation.

Shit quote group groups backing former President Donald Trump recently sent messages to organize poll watchers to be ready to dispute votes in Democratic areas. Some posted images of armed men standing up for their rights to recruit for their cause. Others spread conspiracy theories that anything less than a Trump victory on Tuesday would be a miscarriage of justice worthy of revolt.

This is one of the posts, the day is fast approaching when the fence sitting will no longer be possible. You will either stand with the resistance or take a knee and willingly accept the yoke of tyranny and oppression." So they're doing their warmup stretches for some kind of shit. They're such little drama queens. You know what I mean? It's so like they absolutely think they're living in this like movie They're drama drama queens, but the movie is always the 300 There's no way they have they're actually in a kind of a sad life where they have sort of a pathetic job and very little

Like power or upward mobility. There's no way that's the thing. That's definitely not the thing. Don't interrogate that and don't interrogate the forces at work that may limit your own options for that mobility. Yeah, yeah, yeah, economic inequality. No, no, no. It's time to fucking pretend we're from that one movie, The Patriot. Yep, right. Okay? Except not Heath Ledger, because I'm pretty sure he dies in one of the battles. So I don't want to be Heath Ledger. I want to be one of the other characters that lives from the Patriot. Except not Heath Ledger, because I'm pretty sure he dies in one of the battles.

So I don't want to be Heath Ledger. I want to be one of the other characters that lives from the Patriot. Also just on the true Patriot front and connected to movies, Zero Dark 30, also a movie that I think they like. Have you seen what the guy who shot Bin Laden, claims to have shot bin Laden is saying on social media? What's he saying? He, let me see if I can find it. He said, I've done it once.

I'll do it again. You're like, wait, do what again? So Robert J O'Neill said, told a bunch of people who said, Hey, we just voted for Kamala they're like college age people. He told them that he would, uh, after Trump wins, they'll be his concubines. Like a bunch of like young men. And then someone was like, bro is doubling down and still has no idea what he said. And he said, no, Jake, I'm telling you exactly what beta is like. You will be used for sex and food, mostly food.

Oh boy. Okay. Cool. Yeah. It, no, it is cool. And I just wanted to, that's why I wanted to point it out. Cause yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. No, no, that's, that is pretty cool. I, I, I thought that was an archaic term also, but cool. Yeah. I like where his head's at. He's like, I'm still thinking about the Roman Empire, dude. It's all about concubines. Are you suggesting you're not walking around thinking about cannibalizing male sex slaves?

Off the record? Yeah, he's got to say what we're all thinking, right? Are we off the record? Yeah, let's go off the record for this one. Oh yeah, I'm thinking about all the time. That's why I'm saying this is kind of a cool post because he's actually getting me in the right head space for this election. I actually was fucking up and I wasn't thinking about that.

Oh, but also though, speaking of another person who thinks everything is a movie, there's James O'Keefe of Project Veritas. He has like, he's enlisting like a group of election denial ghouls to basically secretly film at polling places in an effort to drum up evidence of widespread fraud. This is from the New York Times quote, The group intends to use hidden cameras to record and then publicize video to support their claims of fraud or other irregularities at voting sites. Nearly 70 people had signed up for the effort by mid-October, including people claiming to be election judges and volunteer poll watchers. Mr O'Keefe's project is one of several conservative groups that have been mobilizing to try to document fraud and corruption at the polls.

In many cases, the activists involved are convinced of former President Trump's false claims about a rigged election in 2020 and are on the lookout for a repeat. Now the movie part here, like this guy always does shit that only works in movies like in 2017. When there's like Roy Moore was running for Senate and people like this guy like, had some weird shit with miners, and the Washington Post published that like published it. He tried to set the Washington Post up with like a person to claim that they had another story about Roy Moore to be like, Gotcha, that

was fake. And you published it. Shame on you. You guys are anti Roy Moore. And look, you fell for it. But the story of this person's claims fell apart so quickly that the story just became like a gotcha story about James O'Keefe. Yeah. And yeah. Oh, yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. He was also found guilty of all kinds of shit in 2022. This like excerpt from a New York Times article about James O'Keefe again, sort of captures like the movie lens that he's looking at the world through quote, the lawsuit also said that Mr. O'Keefe gave instructions to flag private messages on his social media account from attractive young women so he

could respond to them personally, that he wanted young attractive female operatives, he referred to as quote, pretty young things or PYTs to be hired to go on undercover dates and that he mandated that the group's operatives review copies of the book and movie Red Sparrow about a Russian intelligence agent trained in sex espionage. God I love this boomery bullshit, man. I know.

And this guy is like fucking our age, which is wild. Yeah. Yeah. James O'Keefe is way too young for that. I know. He has the name of like a 75-year-old car dealer. But yeah. And the taste in literature of one as well.

Red Sparrow. Yeah. Sparrow. Sex Piano. Yeah. Sex Piano. As we learned in Taken, the only other movie that I've seen. Right.

I'm going to take down, I'm going to want to help our current president, but also be super fuckable, you're like dude, this is embarrassing. Speaking of sex espionage, I have the direct quote. So young person said, we're Gen Z voters and we all proudly voted for Kamala Harris, real men support Harris. And Robert J O'Neill tweeted, you're not men, you're boys. And if there was no social media, you would be my concubines.

So you're boys and you would be my concubines. Yeah. Someone checked this dude's browser history. Yeah. Yeah, man. You guys are all really- And then people were like, that's weird. And he was like, I'm doubling down.

I actually don't care. You're wrong. And continued to use like weird misogynistic slurs. That's what's sort of beautiful about the Roy Cohn thing of like never admit always double down is like they're kind of forcing themselves to not when they do to, you know, use the current parlance, say the quiet part out loud, then they have to say it over and over again, louder. Right. Right. It's really great.

And the other sad thing about this whole thing is that like, it'd be one thing if they were in on the grift where when Trump says votes are being stolen, they sat back and were like, yeah, that's what we're gonna claim. But no, they actually believe votes are being stolen, which they're not. So they're dedicating their entire lives.

It's like looking for Bigfoot or something, you know what I mean? Where like, and that, but then also when you find out Bigfoot isn't real, that all of your dreams collapse. And it's like, yeah. Anyone who did boy scouts, like we're going on a snipe hunt. Right. Oh shit, dude, a snipe hunt.

Yeah. Yeah. I would die for my belief that Bigfoot is real. Yeah. Damn right. It's just pathetic how much they believe this like very proven liar, you know? Right. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Let's, uh, let's take a quick. And we'll be right back to talk about Peanut the Squirrel and Tucker Carlson. My name is Brandon Kyle Goodman. I'm a black, gay, non-binary author, TV writer, actor, and I'm messy, but not in the way you think. Messy as in I'm human and flawed. I'm on a mission to destroy shame around sex.

As I said, Peanut the Squirrel and Tucker Carlson. Peanut the Squirrel Tucker Carlson. All right. So peanut, the squirrel is a very adorable pet fluencer. Was. Still living in my heart.

Okay. Lur, lur, lur. So a pet squirrel that had a big Instagram following the New York department of environmental conservation had asked his owner to not own squirrels because they are- It's illegal. Yeah, it's illegal. He was like, fuck that. I will also own raccoons.

The New York Department of Environmental Conservation euthanized both peanut and a raccoon owned by this same couple, uh, over the weekend and it's being touted as an example of state overreach and it's specifically being grabbed onto by the Trump campaign. So I like, that's why I was trying to like, get my head around how this became their cause I was like, so did, did Harris speak approvingly of this decision? Like that seems like such a blunder on her part. Like did she just come out and she was like,

Yeah, fuck peanut the squirrel. I'll say it with my whole fucking chest. Fuck peanut the squirrel, fuck that raccoon too. All right, anyway. That's what I was expecting to find. Live from New York, it's Saturday night. Whoa. Strange decision on her part. That's what I was It's like Andy Samberg and like a squirrel outfit and she's like pointing a gun at it. Yeah. Oh, yeah Oh, yeah, I didn't think I knew how to lick this glock I mean that does sound like her in some

But the couple claimed for their part that jealousy played a role in what happened, which I always love when that is just the only explanation people come on. I don't know, they were jealous maybe, ever think about that. They were jealous of a squirrel? Of the fact that you are a squirrel. The dad, the husband of the duo is known as Squirrel Daddy. Not OnlyFans. Peanut's dad, very kinky player, has a pretty good following on that.

That's the description in his bio, not just me describing him. No, no. But it has a pretty big OnlyFans following. And the New York Department of Environmental Conservation had to come out and explain that in actuality, the squirrel bit someone involved in the investigation into the illegal keeping of squirrels and they had to euthanize the squirrel to test it for rabies. I just love that this is their fucking, they're like, no, dude, this, this is going to do it. We need to get people turnt up about justice for peanut and the dude's only fans account. Yeah, this horny rat owner.

Yeah. Elon Musk claimed that Trump will save the squirrels and by extension, America's squirrel themed jerk off videos. I have to assume. And JD Vance said that Trump is fired up about this issue and that the Biden administration doesn't want us to have pets. It's, it's just like, they can't not be weird, you know, like that. He is the guy who is like, you know, fuck cat people, people who own cats as pets. But then they're like, here's the, here's the way we'll get everybody on our side for the, fuck people who own cats as pets.

But then they're like, here's the way we'll get everybody on our side for this election in the last week of the election, people who keep squirrels as pets. Well, it seems very much in theme with the chronically online way that the campaign is run. That's partially why it's so weird is because also the internet is weird. So like these people are like 4chan influence, which was weird.

And now they're current. Yeah. Yeah. You know, it's just all weird. And they're like, we should go on Aiden Ross's like live stream. It's like, who are you talking to? Yeah. Like, dude, you gotta go see Andrew Schultz.

What do you create? You gotta kiss the ring. Like nobody gives a fuck. Okay. Great voter outreach. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Great voter outreach. Yeah. So, you know, there's grotesque mask off racism on Twitter in response to this, comparing the murder of the squirrel to the murder of George Floyd. Death of the squirrel.

Yeah. Death of the squirrel to the murder of George Floyd. Yeah. And also they're using this as an example of state overreach. And just days ago, another woman died as a direct result of the Dops' decision and Texas' abortion ban. So, but that's not the example of government overreach. No, because that's too potent in the other way. So, let's not touch that.

Yeah, she wasn't a little fuzzy cutie. That's the other thing, like there's this very childlike, they can only, we gotta save the babies. You know what I mean? It's like a seven year old mentality. Right. Yeah. You know, they only like it if it's cute and little.

Yeah. All right. And just as a bit of an additional preview of the weird flavor of fascism, we'll all be living under soon. If, if Trump does win. Is it easier for you to just be like, Trump's going to win, man. I think it is. Do you do that so that if in case it happens, how I am as a basketball fan,

miles like, yeah, it always comes true. Look at what's happening to the Sixers. No, I don't know. Yeah. I think there's just- Yeah, like keep the expectations low so that- I get that part. ... some of the good comes through.

I get that, yeah. Yeah, and it- I get that, but you know. I do, like I have been following the polls and the people who think Harris has a better chance than anybody in the mainstream was saying for a long time. I just, but I still think there's always a chance that, you know. Oh yeah, for sure. Yeah, for sure.

So, yeah, absolutely. I do just like how weird because, because the power will all be consolidated under Trump, I think it's easy for people to not remember that in 2016, it was like he came in, he didn't think he was going to win. He didn't have a team around him and was using people who were political operatives around him. And then those people were like, yeah, we're not going to do that. We're not going to tell you that you're going to like say something crazy and we're going to ignore it. And now we have like, you know, Elon Musk will be a major figure in his administration.

Uh, Tucker Carlson, I think will be incredibly powerful. And I did just want to check in with Tucker because, you know, I think if you gave Trump a lie detector test and asked if he believed in God, he'd like make fun of you for asking the question, but the people around him believe some pretty wild shit and Tucker Carlson, who I've heard people refer to as like, he would be like the sensible voice of Trumpism that like gets people to come on board for it. Just told an interviewer that he was attacked by a demonic force in his bed,

uh, which left scratch marks, uh, that made him bleed. So when he, this is for a documentary called Christiana tease. Cause there's multiple Christianities. Okay. Like it's like a, they're teasing that Christ is a real thing. Tease. Yeah, exactly. I wish it was Christiana T E A, but it was like, cause they're real gossipy.

Yeah. Yeah. We got the, don't think a cool youth, youth pastor hasn't used that one before. Oh my God. Let me spill some Christiana tea for you kids. It's like the Protestant version of confession. Right. How about some Christiana tea, folks?

Why don't you let me know? A little tea spill. Who's hooking up with who? Yeah. Tell me, your 22-year-old youth pastor. So the guy who's interviewing him, who's the head of that documentary, again, hosting a documentary about Christianity, so not exactly like foreign to magical thinking, asks Tucker, he's like, oh, you were attacked by demonic

forces. Are you referring to journalism in an extremely labored metaphor, to which Tucker Carlson says, hell no, damn alligator bit my hand off, essentially. He's a little happy Gilmore reference, timely and cool. Asked if he was referring to journalism, Carlson responded, no, in my bed at night. I got attacked while I was asleep with my wife and four dogs. We'll come back to that and mauled, physically mauled.

Carlson said he still bears the scars, said his assailant was a quote demon. He added, or by something unseen that left claw marks on my sides. Again, he was sleeping with four dogs. He said at the time of the attack, he was asleep in bed. I was totally confused. I woke up and I couldn't breathe and I thought I was going to suffocate. I walked around outside and then I walked in and

my wife and dogs had not woken up and they're very light sleepers. And then I had these terrible pains on my rib cage and on my shoulders and I was just in my boxer shorts and I went and flipped on the light in the bathroom and I had four claw marks on either side underneath my arms and on my left shoulder and they're bleeding. And then he talked to his intern and his intern was like, Oh yeah, demons will do that dog, they attack in your bed all the time. So I, I think just worth knowing. I also want to just fact check the people who are like, yeah, he was trying to cover up an affair.

First of all, the specifics of the story would require him to be like trying to explain, like he just snuck off into the woods at night to like fuck someone or something. Classic cheater move. the specifics of the story would require Tucker Carlson to be someone capable of fucking someone well enough to cause them to dig their nails in his... I just don't see that for him, you know? He doesn't seem like... He could also just be paying to get scratched up too. He's just like that. He's like, just shred me up. Meet me in the woods.

Call me crazy. But I feel like the most likely candidate is there in the first sentence of the story when he reveals he sleeps in a bed with his wife and four dogs. Yeah. Yo, with the kink daddy squirrel guy, are they eroticizing their pets? Why do you have four dogs in bed with you? And then, yeah, anyway. Also, like, if there's anyone, this makes me believe in a spirit world, actually,

because if there's anyone who I would think would get attacked by a demon, it'd be hip. And also, like, if you believe in sort of Jesus and demons and a demon attacks you, don't you think you would take some time for some self-reflection and be like, maybe I'm not on the side of the light here if Right more this is this happened a year and a half ago and he has corrected his ways He got by becoming a full boat Christian fascist. Yeah he Addressed a rally in Georgia last week and I saw the headline that he was like talking about Trump being like a debt, a bad daddy.

But I just want to read the whole quote because also he was in bed with his wife who, you know, I don't know how she feels about her husband, but I just want to read this quote from him. He's talking about if Trump gets elected, he's not vengeful. He loves his children disobedient as they may be. He loves them because they're his children. They live in his house, but he's very disappointed in their behavior. And he's going to have to let them know when dad gets home, you know what he says?

You've been a bad girl. You've been a bad little girl. That's that is direct. That's what the that's what he said. Like that is he's getting scratched up for money. Yeah. He's paying, he's on kink toed it, squirrel daddy's only fans for sure. Yeah. Yeah.

He's like, can you make it look like squirrel scratches? It would really be hot. It just literally recreated the most disturbing scene from the Handmaid's Tale for his closing argument for. That's true. Yeah. Did you guys see by the way, Margaret Atwood tweeted a comic that showed like handmaids going into the voting booth and coming out like dressed as normal modern women and somebody

responded faces out of context on Twitter responded the author the author of that book used Islam not Christianity as a as a model for her imaginary world this is obviously true as it resembles Islamic culture and law and not Christian He said to the author of the book to Margaret Pointed who pointedly said that she based the book on actual events in history Did you see SNL this weekend? because there was the same bit where Sarah Squirrum played Margaret Atwood and like this quiz show and was standing right next to like where Sarah Squirrim played Margaret Atwood in like this quiz show and was standing right next to like a Malini like it was like playing like a hyper lib type character and had no idea that it

was like he was talking about a handmaid's tale and they're like uh right next to you is Margaret Atwood he's like oh shit um it's her it was a it was a fun one that's cute did you guys see that that commercial that was the two ladies who went into the voting booth. And yeah, those were my friends, my buddy, Dana, my friend, Dana, Weddell. Yeah. And Julie Golden. Yeah, they did that. And so they were like, we were all texting each other when it like got on Fox. They're Fox news is all pissed about it. You know what I mean? And they were like, yeah, Julia Roberts one. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. They were like, they're doing our work for us. They're showing this exactly to the people who we want to see it. You know, this is perfect that you mentioned that because Charlie Kirk,

we we last week were like, you know, he's freaking out at a certain point. Like, is this a motivational tactic? I'm starting to think this is actually just freaking out now because he brought it up again on another podcast about like referencing this commercial. Yeah. And this is this is what he had to say about like, this is basically part of the Harris campaign's plan, which is like, this, just listen to this. Harris in the advertisement, and she lies to her husband about who she votes for. And the Democrats, so just so we're clear, the Democrats push to win. In order for the Democrats to win with the current data, millions of wives would have

to lie to their husbands. I'm going to say that again. In order for them, because we're not seeing this in the data yet, we're not seeing this collapse, their path to victory would be the largest mass conspiracy of spousal lying in political history. Prove me wrong, please. Prove me wrong. Dude, those guys are so afraid of losing this fucking weird perceived power where like, my beautiful life must be honest with me at all times. Yeah.

I mean, because this is like for whatever reason, the conservatives are connecting the dots that like a woman has the capacity to think for themselves. Yeah. Because like even those pictures of Trump and Eric Trump over the weekend, like leering over the voting booth to make sure their wives are voting for them is so like, you're like, oh y'all are fucking shook. Like what is this shit? Yeah, they're so scared.

And they also like, they refuse to acknowledge what that power structure does. That they're like, are women tragically who are not safe because their husbands are abusive to vote in the way that they would like to vote. They can't even acknowledge that that might not be a possibility. They're just having like, yeah,

like that episode in The Sopranos where Tony is becoming aware that he thinks everyone's laughing at his shit and just lying to him because he's the boss. And they'll be like, I bet these conservatives, they're thinking of all this shit, their wives, it's like, no, Charlie. I love your guitar playing Normal size, yeah

No, I definitely came Oh man, I love that you hate connolly guess, you know No, you're right. It is gross. Our son's not gay. We're. Yeah. Holy shit. We shall see. Anyways, stay safe out there, folks. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Watch out for the fucking election monitors. Yeah. Well, Mort Burke, what a pleasure having you on The Daily Zeitgeist. Where can people find you, follow you, all that good stuff?

So just look up rebrand on, uh, you know, Apple Spotify, all this stuff. The conceit is that we'll rebrand anything. So the, we have rebranded Dwayne the rock Johnson as a dramatic actor.

That was a very powerful episode. I'd recommend that one. Yeah, it's fun. That sounds super fun. Is there a work of media that you've been enjoying? Man, I'm gonna go are we we're talking Twitter. What are we talking? Whatever you can yeah, you can do a tweet You can do your shows in them do an obscure 60 short film. Oh, yeah I already did that one. I'm just gonna do I like this I'm gonna give us I'm gonna give us a political and an apolitical both from Rob Delaney, which this is a tweet somebody quoted. I'm socially liberal, but fiscally conservative.

What do you think when you hear that? Quote, I don't want the gay homeless man to die because he's gay, I want him to die because he's homeless. Right. So then we read that one and then there's another just a good funny random tweet, which is, just met a one-year-old named Barbara. Didn't know they were doing that.

Because this is this just perfectly aligns with my feelings. Quincy Jones has a storied history as arguably the greatest, most influential music producer of all time, but his most lasting legacy to me will always be the ability to casually reveal some massive gossip and then say, you like

Brazilian music? And that truly is that that is Quincy Jones for me. Latter day, Quincy. Thank you for that. And yes, Demi, great observation. Exactly. There it is. Let's see a couple. I'll do one political one non-political at Will Sloan at Will Sloan Esquire tweeted my final statement on the imminent US presidential election. And it's an image of Pitbull.
