It's racism and misogyny on the way to the White House if this is going to happen. I think that's a huge, that's the part that freaks me out the most. White women didn't even come out for Hillary Clinton. White women didn't come out for Hillary Clinton? No. What do you mean? To vote. For real?

Starting point is 00:08:36 You know, I'm coming out with it. I was trying to think of one, and then I was just like, nope, don't. You think Drake has ever approached Christy Yamaguchi-man to ghostwrite a song for him? I feel like he should. I'm not going to put him on the spot, but I'm not going to comment on that.
Starting point is 00:08:52 And that should say a lot. I'm pretty sure he wrote, hell yeah, fucking right. Christy Yamaguchi-man. He created YOLO. He started that whole thing. Molly, how are you doing?
Starting point is 00:09:07 I'm good. Yeah, I got my air conditioning on, so I'm doing amazing. There you go. Is the heat going to break? It's a scorcher. It's a scorcher, folks. Yeah, we are consistently in some version of hell. folks. Yeah, we are consistently in some
Starting point is 00:09:24 version of hell. And it's wild because it doesn't get cold. You can't open your windows and get that effective night chill until it doesn't hit to like 4 a.m. Yeah, it's been hot late and it's been humid. Yeah. Not that it's humid compared to anywhere else in the world
Starting point is 00:09:40 where it is actually humid. Yes. But for LA. For LA? It's gotten more humid human five percent humidity out here it's gotten more tropical no it's like it's like 46 it's like 50 yeah you can feel it when you open your mouth the sweat doesn't or the spit doesn't just immediately dry out of your mouth it's fucking crazy no you got more spit in there from the humidity i can tell how humid it is by how big my hair gets. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:06 Oh, right, right, right. I've been having some big hair. I actually just got a haircut yesterday because it was getting too big. Oh, must be nice. Your hair got too big, huh? Too big. Got that big hair. I do.
Starting point is 00:10:18 I mean, I tease it out every morning. Have you ever had long hair? I have, yeah. In my early 20s. How long long did you have a p-tail like down to like here probably i mean it was just like a long it was just you know long it's like i'm not cutting my hair college hairstyle yeah yeah exactly i just didn't cut my hair for like a year and it was uh it was pretty long yeah does it get like kind of like can you like swish it back and forth yeah it was commercial hair it get like kind of like can you like swish it back and forth do you have
Starting point is 00:10:45 commercial hair it's like frizzy it had some it was not it was not shampoo college or it was growing back out uh howard stern era bring it back yeah i feel like i'm always every time i see like someone my age or older with long hair, I'm always like, nah. It only works once you're an old dude. Because an old guy with a balding p-tail, that's a strong look. That's a vibe. That's a great look. That is a great look.
Starting point is 00:11:16 Like a farmer's market old guy. Yeah. I feel like you could do braids, Willie Nelson braids. Oh, wow. I mean, hell yeah, I could. You just do them all short right now. Thank you for noticing that, Molly. Show a little more enthusiasm.
Starting point is 00:11:31 I've been trying to get that energy out as much as possible. You're like, honey, they said it. They said I should do braids. They finally said I should do the braids. Yeah, Miles agreed, so I'm doing it. The podcast said I had to. The street said I had to they demanded the zeitgang insisted you've been outvoted babe yeah all right molly we are going to get to know
Starting point is 00:11:53 you a little bit better in a moment first we're going to tell the listeners a couple of things we're talking about the jd vance backlash oh i don't know does it do you need to have a like a period of like approval and enthusiasm before there's a backlash there yeah the honey yeah i mean there was always a honeymoon period and there was there was yeah on the right week yeah on the week they were pretty excited about that anyways not just a shitty name he's also a shitty candidate turns out and i feel like just his energy is being a little bit more coming a little bit more into focus yeah how he fits with trump in this new race is coming a little bit more into focus so we'll talk about that we will talk about some early efforts on the part of the trump campaign, like what their dossier on Kamala Harris looks like.
Starting point is 00:12:49 Like some of that, they just sent out some bullet points of like, all right, here's how we get their ass. And we'll talk about coffee badging. We see you, Amazon workers. Nice try. You're not getting this one past Uncle Jeffff hell yeah jb yeah coffee badging i look these like made up fucking terms yeah it's like quiet quitting what was the latest one resenteeism resenteeism now it's called i fucking hate my job yeah that's what it's called it's not
Starting point is 00:13:22 like that's and that's a time honored tradition that everyone engages in. But I like that. It's like the new thing is coffee badging. No, the thing that it's always been is put in the least amount of effort as possible. The HR writer's room has been working overtime to brainstorm these names for people just like not wanting to be in the office. What is coffee badging mean? I'm so glad you asked, Molly. We'll get to it. So people... Okay, we can get to it.
Starting point is 00:13:48 I mean, we can, or I can tell you right now that it's... Okay, tell me right now. When people come to the office, they have to swipe in and out at Amazon because you know that Uncle Jeff wants to know where you are at all times. And you just swipe in, have a cup of coffee, and then go home.
Starting point is 00:14:05 Because you're technically supposed to be in three days a week. But people were just coming in for a cup of coffee three days a week, but not staying that long. Okay, so working. Yes. Doing work. Doing what people have been doing since the 1940s and that wasn't a big deal back then because you didn't get tracked like a fucking tagged animal back then but anyways we'll talk about people used to wear hats people and that is true people used to wear hats in this goddamn
Starting point is 00:14:43 country to wear a damn hat? With an acapella group on every corner. Singing around a trash can fire. We called them doo-wop in that time, Miles. That is my favorite line from any 90s movie is a boy's life with. Is that the one with Kenojo and Robert De Niro, where he's like, it was the 50s. Right.
Starting point is 00:15:08 There was a doo-wop group on every corner. No, there wasn't. Yeah, there was. What the fuck are you talking about? Yeah, there was, buddy. There was, dude. Uh-huh. You don't know.
Starting point is 00:15:20 True, baby. Every corner. Yeah. And they just had sing-offs. You coming to our turf, you you're gonna have to harmonize yeah i think that's true yeah i think fact bring it back bring it back all right a podcast on every corner that's right that's really they're gonna say it was 2024 everybody had a fucking podcast well i wish you could see miles's face because you just became Robert De Niro.
Starting point is 00:15:47 You just have to squint your eyes. You look exactly like Robert De Niro right now. Every guy has a Robert De Niro face. It just looks like your face. Hey, hey, gender inclusive. I've got one too. This is my Robert De Niro. too oh that's pretty good you just gotta look like you're having a terrible time sitting on the toilet and you have a robert
Starting point is 00:16:11 yeah like your eyes real small and your mouth kind of yeah you fuck my wife my wife you fuck my wife okay all right anyway you talking to me you fuck my wife why not all right i'm robert de niro that's what he says so that's taxi driver he's saying that in the mirror do you fuck my did you fuck my wife right that's i have that all right anyway no he says it to greg fucker in uh meet the parents that's right anyways he just said he said it to greg did you fuck my wife no that's that's raging oh yeah i'm just mixing up the context. Wow, you got me with that humor joke, man. I got nipples, Focker.
Starting point is 00:16:49 And his name was Geppetto. That's what I remember the name of the cat. He said it to Jodie Foster's character at the end. That's right. He said it to Rocky and Bullwinkle. His most iconic role. Obviously. Alright, all of that, plenty more.
Starting point is 00:17:05 First, Molly, we do like to ask you, our guest, what is something from your search history that is revealing about who you are? I was thinking it'd be funny if I just came back on and talked about Genesis the whole time again. Your last time on, you showed us an incredible...
Starting point is 00:17:24 Was it Michelobeth? It's Michelobeth. Tonight, tonight, tonight. year last time on yeah you showed us an incredible uh nickel was it michael lobez tonight tonight tonight i was like i just should just come back and be like guys i watched a different genesis video you guys like land of confusion with the weird puppets oh those i remember that his those videos always like indexed really well on the the you guys are probably too young to remember mtv used to do like the top hundred like when it was a holiday they would like count down the top hundred videos of all time yeah and genesis videos with like their weird special effects would always do pretty well yeah that peter gabriel those puppets i remember being so fucking weirded out by those puppets.
Starting point is 00:18:05 That was a real. That's a British TV show where they just do that all the time. It's like a British caricature face. Political parody show. Yeah. With these fucking terrifying puppets. It's just the exact like the way his face was exaggerated. It looks like a like a pumpkin.
Starting point is 00:18:21 Like where this. I don't know. Yeah. This is the world we live in. My awareness of Genesis is very spotty. Jack, get with the times. It's 2024. Everybody's talking about Genesis.
Starting point is 00:18:38 Everybody's talking about Genesis. So what is in your search history that isn't Genesis? Okay. Well, I was looking up things to eat that you don't have to cook anything. Okay. Well, we got a few bars of jelly sandwich. Because it's so hot. I don't want to turn my oven on even a little bit.
Starting point is 00:18:57 Sure. Not even to broil. I looked up all these things. A lot of like salads, sandwiches. Salads are really good on a hot day and then i made soup like an idiot oh my god i don't want to be hot but i want to wait was it like it wasn't like gazpacho or something no it's not gazpacho that was that wouldn't make sense i was like what if i cook a hot soup scalding hot soup yeah just you know. Yeah. The opposite of what I think I should do.
Starting point is 00:19:26 I've actually been doing that a lot recently. I've had soup like three times last week when it was hot. I don't know, in my mind, I think because I was dehydrated or something, my body was like, you want to drink this meal next. But it was all lentils. I was going to like drink like cold chicken broth. And then I was like, maybe maybe i should uh yeah that sounds like some tom brady shit it's like it is tom brady shit it's like my stomach was upset and
Starting point is 00:19:52 i was like what can i what can i eat that won't make it worse and uh basically gatorade you know that's what they said it was like it's basically gatorade you need to replenish your electrolytes with chicken broth why do i have a sense memory of drinking cold chicken broth? What is it about cold chicken broth that calls to us? Because it sounds good when it's so hot. You're like, cold. Wait, really? Wait, you guys were pounding cold for real?
Starting point is 00:20:17 I didn't like pound it, but I must have tried it at some point. I don't need to heat this up. Oh, yeah. I remember like you go to Jerry's Deli or something and you get that big ass container that's in the fridge. I pop open the top. It sounded good. Honestly, my boyfriend got his wisdom teeth out and he could only eat some stuff that was like like that. And then I was kind of like, that sounds good, actually.
Starting point is 00:20:38 Yeah, I'm having that. A little chicken broth. Make those ice cubes. What is something you think is underrated, Molly? Underrated. What did i say uh i might have said this on the show before because i only have three topics but uh the beach the beach is underrated go on tell me why i hate how cold the water is a lot of oh my god what are you a baby are you? A baby? Yes. A baby? A finicky little... You know who loves the beach though? It's babies.
Starting point is 00:21:08 I know. I know. I'm trying to tell my baby. I'm like, bro, it ain't that cool. Yeah, I just think the beach is awesome. It's free. It's cool. You get to go there when it's hot. I love how cold the water is. I actually...
Starting point is 00:21:24 When I've been to other places where they have warmer water in the ocean, I'm always like, this sucks. Give me the Pacific. Oh, really? Give me that ice cold, cloudy Pacific. Interesting. I love when the ice cold Pacific. You'll actually be like, I don't like this warm water beach.
Starting point is 00:21:39 Yes, because when I went to Pensacola, where it's the Gulf of Mexico, which is like, it's like when the water is the same temperature as the air it's like not refreshing. Yeah, I get that part. The Gulf of Mexico is not actually an ocean. That's like a pool. Yeah, it's a gulf. Okay, fine. You hear what I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:21:59 It's like shallow and warm. Oh, you're saying it has a body of water. When I get in a body of water, I expect it to be freezing cold, and then when it's not, I'm like, oh, I wish it was freezing cold, because it's like, your body adjusts. This gazpacho is hot. Yeah, the gazpacho is hot.
Starting point is 00:22:15 I was expecting cold. The gazpacho is hot, it's just vegetables. I just took my kids to a beach cleanup this past weekend which was a great way to like pass a saturday morning like they got competitive about getting the best garbage like on the beach what beach redondo oh yeah see that's where i like to go yeah redondo is great it was like nice and you know it's super hot back where I live, but down there, it was still misty, cool from the ocean temperature.
Starting point is 00:22:50 I think it's underrated because I feel like there's a lot of people in LA who never go to the beach. Yeah, truly. I had the thought. I was like, we need to go to the beach more. What are we doing? And now I have a new policy of just like, you know, it's like an hour in the car. Yeah. But it's kind of an hour in the car to get anywhere yeah that's true so i might as well be at the beach at the end also the great part too is the people watching you will always see some shit at the beach you will always see some shit i mean great people watching and also like every time i've been there recently i've seen someone digging a really big hole.
Starting point is 00:23:25 Yeah. Oh, yeah. How old? Like a child? Mostly children. But then it seems like people will see someone doing it and then they start doing it. But it's so funny. It's like you turn around and someone's buried in the sand up to their chest all of a sudden. Yeah, you just see a head poking out.
Starting point is 00:23:41 Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what we do. I'm about to go back east and that's basically every morning is just digging a big-ass hole in the beach. Yeah, I love that kids love it so much. It's like another, again, a free activity that everybody loves, digging a big hole in the sand. Then you've got to fill that back in lest an elderly person fall into it. Besides my holes, all right? My holes become hazards
Starting point is 00:24:06 for the elderly. Jack, you fall in a lot of holes on the beach? I'm just saying, watch out for other elderly. Definitely not me because I have my wits about me. I'm just imagining you like Mr. Magoo. Just running with my head
Starting point is 00:24:23 facing the sky. Chasing a seagull that's my sandwich get back here with my funnel cake is that your mr magoo yeah we got all the hot cultural references gen Genesis. Mr. Magoo. Yeah. What is something you think is overrated? Overrated Palm Springs. Okay. Palm Springs. The opposite of the beach.
Starting point is 00:24:53 The opposite of the beach. I don't understand it. People like to go there. It is. Yeah. Miles, you'll hear me on this. If I wanted to go somewhere where it's 100 degrees and people are in pools, I'd go to the San Fernando Valley. I live, if I want to go there like that, I live here.
Starting point is 00:25:17 But you can do it in an overpriced mid-century home. That's what I don't understand. When people are like, I'm going to go spend money to stay in a house that then I can't really go outside because it's like 120 degrees outside so i'm like sitting in an air-conditioned house and somewhere even hotter than where i am coming from and like there's a pool outside but again it's 120 degrees it it is such a double-edged sword like because you know if you go on like going to palm springs especially in the summer right it's so hot that it does that thing where if you're just outside chilling for like two hours like your day is fucking done like you can't exist in 110 degree direct sunlight that like i i literally i'm a redhead i got such a bad sunburn recently that now i'm like so afraid of the sun again yeah there's no cloud cover palm palm springs is
Starting point is 00:26:02 like putting it next to the beach and you're overrated, underrated is interesting because it is essentially like a beach town that just happens to be like hundreds of miles from the ocean. Yes. And like when people are like, hey, you want to go to Palm Springs, go in on a house? I'm always like, no. No, I don't want to do that.
Starting point is 00:26:23 Do I want to go to Ventura? Sure. Sure. Right. Yeah. P I want to go to Ventura? Sure. Sure. Right. Yeah. Pismo? Okay. Let's do something here.
Starting point is 00:26:29 I think just in general, it's like, why would I go somewhere unless there's water? I think something happened with Coachella where our generation connects pool party in the desert as this thing that is is like a a thing we like reach for you know what i mean because i just like yeah i'm just trying to draw a line straight back to why yeah i just like staying in it like a mid-century modern house with a pool again san fernando valley yeah you probably could find one like on swimley use that app like it's like they're about 300 less a day yeah if i want to go to a pool party like in boogie nights those are in the valley sorry those are in the valley i'll call miles the fucking valley and then i'll ask you hey how much can you bench press just like john c reilly did that's right
Starting point is 00:27:18 all the people who go to palm springs are the same people who wouldn't come to the valley yeah yeah that makes sense is also like there are cool deserts like joshua tree is a cool desert i think there's like something to be said for going to some desert places yeah palm springs like the desert's kind of ugly right like it's not yeah and it's developed so it's like if i'm going to the desert i want to go somewhere where there's like no light and i can see the stars at night really good. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I want to stay in a little cabin or something.
Starting point is 00:27:51 One time when I stayed at Palm Springs, I went outside at night and it just sounds like you just hear the roar of 5,000 air conditioning units. air conditioning units just from that. That's the soundtrack of the Palm Springs. It's just like, everything is dead except for the people inside air conditioned. Yes, although ironically, I do like Las Vegas, which is all of the same idea.
Starting point is 00:28:16 But they know that Las Vegas is like, but we have to bring you here by transporting every fancy restaurant in the world here. And Las Vegas is like, but we have to bring you here by transporting every fancy restaurant in the world here. And Las Vegas is at least like, and there's a volcano. Although, RIP the volcano.

Starting point is 00:31:42 You're allowed to be doing this? We passed the review board a year ago. We're not hurting people. There's nothing dangerous about what you're doing. They're just dreams. Dream Sequence is a new horror thriller from Blumhouse Television,
Starting point is 00:31:56 iHeartRadio, and Realm. Listen to Dream Sequence on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts and we're back we're back and uh jd vance will make you dance yeah dude he's got so much fucking energy man i'm nervous dude he seems so like genuine and just like rizzed up and oh my god he's the grand grand rizzard of the kkk dude this guy he's so got so much riz but yeah like
Starting point is 00:32:36 the continued fallout from biden's dropout like we've got some interesting insights in the trump campaign like we i think we were talking yesterday or the day before about, you know, the, one of the big takeaways was that the entire campaign was just praying to God every night that Biden stayed in the race. So like, dude, it can't be like, we, we did all of our homework on this one guy for years. This is, and by homework, we just mean we were going to do the thing about like, yo, this dude is so old, but now their biggest fear has come true and that they've pivoted away from joe biden and now they need an entirely new playbook um and the other thing we found out yeah sorry it seems like did you ever i guess this doesn't really apply to you guys from being from la but like when there were
Starting point is 00:33:15 snow days and you would like wait and wait and wait up to the last minute of like for school to be canceled and then you'd be like it's too late they can't like have school now because they like waited too long oh yeah that seems to be like the republican that sounds like he's totally there yeah waited too long you can't he can't drop out now he it's right he waited too long like that doesn't make sense. If they didn't announce it, then I'm not going to school. That's not fair. Or in high school, if the professor was late,
Starting point is 00:33:51 I always talk about the 15-minute window. I'm walking down the hall to classes still happening. I'm like, bro, you are not in the room. If the 15 minutes hit, I'm gone, dude. Can he do that? He can't do that. You're going to miss the test.
Starting point is 00:34:04 You fucking monster. It's really funny to see the Republicans can he do that yeah he can't do that you're still gonna you're gonna miss the test i'm like you fucking monster it's really funny to see the republicans suddenly being like rules what about the rules yeah just shut up you hypocrites it was never about the rules anyway but yeah the other thing that we found out was the selection of jd vance is starting to make people in the campaign and like other allies of the trump camp crew like nervous um apparently his selection was based on just turning the maga knob up all the way and trying to maximize the turnout for their base they were not going for a camp like a vp pick that was going to bridge i don't know bring in some moderates or independents whoever that is anymore not a political decision
Starting point is 00:34:44 no just yeah they wanted to spike the football yeah they were like yeah dude it's a foregone conclusion man get the fucking monster junior as his vp and we've got something like and everyone's gonna love it but yeah well aside from the fact that he is unlikable and even you know someone like mitt romney described him as a person he could not disrespect more. He is also just, again, just a black hole of the coveted Riz, man. The charisma is just not there. He recently had a very Jeb Bushian moment when he tried to make a joke about drinking Mountain Diet. Mountain, wait, Diet Mountain.
Starting point is 00:35:21 I don't even know how to say it because it doesn't even make sense. Run DMD. Here he is talking about doing that WMD. It is the weirdest thing to me. Democrats say that it is racist to believe. Well, they say it's racist to do anything. I had a Diet Mountain Dew yesterday and one today. I'm sure they're going to call that racist too, but it's good.
Starting point is 00:35:50 I love you guys. Wait. Holy shit. This is a full ass crowd that is dying to love this guy. This is actually like crowd that is dying to like love this guy this is actually
Starting point is 00:36:07 this is like open mic energy and he just lost the crowd he couldn't even get a crowd full of racist white people with you guys like soda yeah Mountain Dew
Starting point is 00:36:24 I mean I think the problem was that it was diet mountain you just need to fucking say so what but everyone's favorite lana del rey song it reminds me of i was this was actually a tweet i was gonna like but someone i'll give credit at nick wascato tweeted it like that clip and just said guy says he's from appalachia then talked about drinking diet mountain dew and they showed the scene from inglorious bastards. And he's like three whiskeys. Yeah. Hold on. Diet Mountain Dew.
Starting point is 00:36:52 What the fuck are you talking about? Fuck. Yeah. So he's, uh, that was very, very, uh,
Starting point is 00:36:57 cringy. I also realized I was trying to figure out who he looks like. He looks like he would be in Zod's crew from Superman too. Like he got the, like the beard with the little eyeliner thing. He looks like Zod. in Zod's crew from Superman 2. He got the beard with the little eyeliner thing. He looks like Zod if Zod was Zinn. He looks like this is where my... Zinn? Kneel before Zinn, come son of Jor-El.
Starting point is 00:37:16 Addicted to Zinn pouches. For my Bravo heads, if anybody watches Southern Charm, he looks exactly like this guy who's on Southern Charm, whose name is jt yeah oh yeah who's like also just kind of like a weird a weird rizzless yeah yeah reptile human charlie brownhead man yeah yeah he's a little he's a little cuter than than jd vance i'll give jt i'll give jared that thing jt that that honor but yeah just certified reptile human energy from jd vance like just all the facial expressions the hand gesture when he says i love you guys he gives like this point that is just like and now I am pointing and I'm pointing.
Starting point is 00:38:08 It's just, he's like, I love you guys. It's very. Where is it? It's good. It's good. One more time. It's good. I love you guys.
Starting point is 00:38:18 Yeah. Yeah. Right. It's so fucking painful. And even like, and that's, what's kind of wild too, because thinking that they were like the base is gonna love this fucking guy like he's gonna help turn out even more people but like again this was a really poor showing but he has the racism down i'll give him that yeah because earlier i think later in the day he was speaking again to another audience and was saying that kamala harris has been collecting a government check for the past 20 years like as a politician there is but okay yeah welfare queen on my guy i feel
Starting point is 00:38:52 like so there's already people within the campaign be it like somebody who was talking to the trump campaign after biden dropped out was like like, they seem very unhappy that Biden dropped out. And this is a quote from an Atlantic staff writer, Tim Albarto. The most striking thing I heard from Trump allies yesterday was the second guessing of J.D. Vance, a selection they acknowledged that was born of cockiness, meant to run up margins with the base and a blowout rather than persuade swing voters in a nail biter and i feel like trump's body is going to reject this man in the way that like it rejected the unity message that he was being asked to spread at the rnc and like he when he tried to be the unity guy his body like started shutting
Starting point is 00:39:48 down and he got like all sleepy you know and then he had to just like riff some fucking the late great hannibal lecter shit who's sleepy now yeah sleepy now you old fuck there's another interaction when like right after they announced like one of their first appearances together of Trump and J.D. Vance. And if you look, J.D. Vance just has this intense sycophant energy. Trump likes someone that comes off a little bit cooler. You know what I mean? And this guy comes off as number one. You know what it's giving a little bit?
Starting point is 00:40:21 Is Kenny Powers and Stevie Janowski. Oh, yeah. Yes. yes oh kenny you're so fucking cool kenny like it really so watch this this he's like he's laughing at a trump joke here whatever i don't know but this is this is his vibe with uh trump did we have enough people why didn't we have enough people somebody said about the assassination attempt people were put on biden's uh detail the problem is biden doesn't draw anybody he draws flies he draws nobody and you know you don't need very many people for that because he does not draw 30 people show up and we have 55 60 000 people show up he's just quietly laughing like a podcast producer.
Starting point is 00:41:09 Can't laugh out loud. But this is great. I want to let him know that they're killing it. No, it is like, though, it's like when there's a kid who's a class clown and he's got like a second in command. Yeah. You know, my friend hates that kid, though. Everyone's like, bro, you're just like his fucking hang-around, dude. My friend called it, there would be like a kid who's like the yo kid, who's like when someone says yo, and they're just like, yo.
Starting point is 00:41:33 Yo. Yeah, he's yo, yeah. He's yo, man. Mr. Yo. Yeah. Holy shit. Spot on. And he switched his pick?
Starting point is 00:41:41 Would that be unprecedented? Like if Trump switched his pick at this point? Because I feel like he's going to want to. A lot of things are happening that are unprecedented. Especially if Kamala picks an astronaut as her VP pick. Who's the astronaut? Mark Kelly. Mark Kelly from Arizona.
Starting point is 00:41:58 The Arizona guy. I feel like if she picks Mark Kelly, he's going to be so jealous. Yeah, he's going to want to go to speed. Fucking Astrid. She got an astronaut. You see the size of that guy's arms. He's like, you drink diet Mountain Dew. Okay.
Starting point is 00:42:17 He just goes away bummed out in his room. But yeah, while all that's happening, you know, and Janie Vance, you know, for a second thought, Kamala Harris was going to be the person he was having to do battle with. That's still unknown. But the GOP is still there. They're really trying to figure out how to come at Kamala, like what their line of attack is. Obviously, predictably, reflexively, they are just going with their hatred of black women to like power a lot of their talking points and it's become pretty fucking out there and also i mean we probably said this in an earlier episode but now it seems like she has the delegates needed uh to secure the nomination so yeah perhaps we're avoiding going with something that's kind of like she's too hot yeah right like what huh she thinks she's so cool yeah she thinks she's so cool right guys like she's like kind of weird if you think about it she's like weird like honestly also she is super weird yeah yeah yeah yeah it's hard that's why it's funny too even that thing that like would you just fall out of the coconut tree that became popular because the republican party clipped that out and tried to use that to be like this is not like look at this fool and basically gave gave
Starting point is 00:43:30 birth to a new meme that's like partially powering this new campaign you know what maybe we need a kooky bitch for president yeah we'll see we'll see like their attempt to smear her has turned her into is fun, kooky energy. Yeah. Memes are important these days in elections for a lot of people who are just going off vibes. They're like, oh, she's hot and childless. And they can't talk about any of the things that are actually wrong with her because they can't be like, oh, she's... Because they're wrong with them, too. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:02 She's locking people up indiscriminately as attorney general. They're like, well, Hmm. I agree with that kind of, but yeah, anyway, they're,
Starting point is 00:44:11 they're now like just full on scrambling to try and figure out like what is actually going to stick in terms of like their attacks. What did he say? Trump said something and it, it didn't stick at all. And everybody was like, he's losing the juice. Was it the thing about his poll numbers? P O Ll-e he called her something but it was like it wasn't like kooky kamala but it was
Starting point is 00:44:32 like something like that where everybody was like man usually he's got it with the nicknames but like he's loose he's not laughing kamala that's right oh that's why kamala oh no laughing kamala is here everyone that makes her sound like she's in like a folk tale yeah yeah they're like yeah the woman with the best attitude laughing kamala bring brought joy to all those around her but yeah like the right now initially they were like oh we love that it's kamala harris because we can just tie her to all of the failures of the Biden administration and all that's going to stick. But they are still having trouble like like when they say it out loud for whatever reason, they just don't know. Like like it just doesn't feel right even to them.
Starting point is 00:45:16 So the NRSC, who like helps run Senate like Senate campaigns for the Republicans, they distributed talking points of like how to hit her you know they're like one's like she supports hamas another one's like she tried to ban fracking she's the border czar and you're like what the fuck then there's this one section at the bottom called like there's one it's called crime health care foreign policy the last section is called weird. Yeah. And these are some of the things that they're like, and you can hit her on this. This is the weird stuff that they feel like they can attack her with. Kamala Harris has a habit of laughing at inappropriate moments.
Starting point is 00:45:57 Kamala Harris pledged to ban plastic straws. Kamala favor is in favor of banning certain behaviors. Okay. Kamala Harris loves Venn diagrams kamala harris loves electric school buses because she went to school on a school bus what the fuck does that one even mean like these are all linked off to something so i'm sure it's like just a statement made i think she's talking about yeah probably saying like yeah you know when i was riding the school bus oh my god did she wrote a school bus like there's just also cherry picking like weird statements by her and being like this woman's
Starting point is 00:46:29 weird yeah rather than like what you'd say about donald trump you're like bruh this if this is you like venn diagram what about the other one this fool loves his daughter in an inappropriate way that's weird you want to you want to go into judge the fucking trump's well they keep being like she doesn't have any like naturally birthed children of her own she's only got this blended family right yeah yeah it's very 80s honestly i think it's like that sort of trump i guess to be like she's a career woman yeah she's she's being working girl at the office and she doesn't come home and make meals for her children or her cat that's right it's wild how hard it seems like they are are totally taken off guard by this and they really doubled down on biden being old which makes sense because he was way too old i mean look the democrats were not looking like they were gonna get it together in any way right it seemed really
Starting point is 00:47:33 chaotic behind the scenes and and like the democrats weren't even going to be able to agree on absolutely whether biden should drop out who should replace him if he does? Yeah. So the fact that they like got it together this fast, Trump was tweeting like a, like a bitch. He was. He was tweeting like a bitch. You could tell that they were like, it's in the bag.
Starting point is 00:47:54 This is also like when the, when he got shot at and everybody was like, oh, it's over. It's over. It's in the bag for Trump now. And I was just like, the news cycle is so fast now.
Starting point is 00:48:07 So many more things can happen. It's like a checker speech every day now. And everybody on TV these days has been shot at on some level. It changes so fast. The CNN people were like, okay, like Biden's losing the Republicans, you know, and I hate the way that like they do can declare consensus on like CNN or something where it's like all the pundits are suddenly like, well, you know, Trump's going to win. Yeah. Oh, based on what? Based on that, they feel like they have to have a consensus so that they can all repeat the same message.
Starting point is 00:48:48 Stay on message for some reason. Things change so fast every single day. But now Trump is the oldest official nominee in the history. After that was kind of their only and main angle, he is the oldest official nominee in the history of the country. Yeah, they were like they put all their eggs in the old white, he's an old white man out of touch basket. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:11 And now everyone's like, you're an old white man out of touch. No! He's seeming older, like recently. His speech was very like old and dawdling. His stuff wasn't good before, but that's what was crazy is after he got shot at and everybody was like oh he's a changed man now he's like he has less energy now he's going
Starting point is 00:49:30 to become like like step up into the presidency step up to the plate and then it's like no he was rambling and sounding crazy before it's just that joe biden was rambling more right and sounding more senile than he did yeah now he sounds senile compared to kamala yeah and and you know just like the optics thing where they're like i think they really thought next to biden trump looks like a virile young man yeah which is clearly how trump sees himself in his mind. Is that he's like, here comes the... That's what the cult mentality does to them, though. You know what I mean? Like, they're like, this guy's impervious to anything.
Starting point is 00:50:10 And then they're like, oh, my God, he is old. What the fuck? Like, that's not fair. We don't like this juxtaposition. The thing he put out on Truth Social the other night, he said, lying Kamala Harris, the Biden-app appointed border czar who never visited the border and whose incompetence gave us the worst and most dangerous border anywhere in the world. That's so OK. That is so patently false. But OK, has absolutely terrible poll P.O.L.E. numbers against a fine and brilliant young man named Donald J.
Starting point is 00:50:43 Trump. Be careful what you wish for, Democrats. Brilliant young man named donald j trump be careful what you wish for democrats brilliant young man yeah that's that's such that is such high level cope that i'm like yo you do never you never want to be an old person out here referring to yourself as a young man you're not even a middle age it's just like such an old man joke to make. Yeah. It reminds me of Reagan on his last legs being like, I won't let my opponent's young age be held against him. It was like the last coherent thing he said. Look, I think some of those guys too, it's like they got gassed up so much when they
Starting point is 00:51:25 were young men yeah that they think it's just carries forward for your entire life they're just like i'm a young buck yeah man i'm a young buck nobody wants me because to win because i'm too young and hot but also like we all know trump gets flustered around a hot woman yeah yeah yeah so i do imagine i feel like kamala makes him be like rodney dangerfield like hot under the collar he doesn't know which one to lean into his womanizing or his racism around her he's like right which button do i press i I don't know. Yeah, it's a tough time. Somebody, some Republican already called her like a Jezebel, which is like both racist and sexist. Yeah. Yeah. No, I mean, that's that's the thing that like, you know, I get the enthusiasm of it not being Joe Biden anymore, because clearly just seeing someone who can like move their body in like a spry manner you're like oh my god i love this but i'm just it's the it's the it's the culture of our electorate that i'm i'm just not sure what happens you know like even even if the democrats are saying like we have to be trump we have to be trump it's just
Starting point is 00:52:38 like the racism of it all too that i'm not that's like the one thing i'm like i don't know man like i just also like i see how terrible this country is. Never count out the Democrats on biffing it. Yeah. On biffing something that seems like a foregone win. Yeah. I don't know. All the headlines right now are
Starting point is 00:52:57 very pro, like, exactly what, the narrative right now, you know. And the media does thrive on, like, creating a consensus narrative that they can then upend in the next news cycle. But the narrative right now is like went from yesterday, like shock poll. Harris closes in on Biden to right now. Shock poll. Harris leads Trump.
Starting point is 00:53:20 And it's. Yeah. I don't trust a damn poll. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I only trust a P-O-L-E poll. That's the Yeah. I don't trust a damn pole also. Oh, yeah. I only trust a P-O-L-E pole. That's the only pole I trust. This one is also a shock pole, P-O-L-E.
Starting point is 00:53:32 It's just a pole used to electrocute people. Yeah, yeah. It's a cattle prod. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Love that, love that. All right, we should take a quick break and come back and talk about coffee badging. We'll be right back.

Starting point is 00:56:58 We're back. And you know who's coffee badging all those past four years? Kamala Harris. She doesn't work hard. She doesn't work hard she doesn't work do her job that was one of the racist coded bullshit things there like she's oh yeah well and now dei mentions are going through the roof on twitter it's like we get a man just say white male supremacy that's yes i call it wms man but uh amazon is reportedly cracking down on coffee badging when workers show up to work purely to grab a coffee and show that they're in the office thinking to eat or work from home the name is misleading i mean this is again this is like a
Starting point is 00:57:38 fucking made up human resources phenomenon that like that they're leaking to the media yeah we're cracking down on coffee badging i'm sorry what's that all right here sit down let me explain yeah but i mean people obviously stay longer than a cup of coffee seeing as they have to swipe in and out so their office time is easily tracked like it's just a way for them to talk shit about how little i guess amazon executives are working like the like not even the people who are like working in the factories but like that i've never heard i've known a couple people who like worked at amazon or like were interviewed by amazon and talked and talked to people like vetted a job at Amazon.
Starting point is 00:58:25 And the thing that I've always heard is that it is fucking brutal. Like that people are like weeping openly in the office. Wasn't there that thing when the, in the warehouses where they have the little, like, like the relaxation booths. Have you seen these? Oh yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:43 Those like, yeah, that was just like a place for you to scream. Yeah. Scream booths. Have you seen these? Oh, yeah. Those like, yeah. That was just like a place for you to scream. Scream booths. Yeah, yeah. Just get it out. Just get it out, man. Just get it out.
Starting point is 00:58:53 Yeah, it had like nature sounds and stuff going on. Yeah, like, oh, instead of having a sane work conditions, we'll just give you a place to cry when you're miserable. Yeah, I mean, we could have invested in your wages, but we got a great deal on one of these Scream Pods. It's only $300,000. Scream Pods? I mean Relaxation Pods. Sorry. Relaxation Pods. They do shoot you out with a spring after three minutes of
Starting point is 00:59:20 crying. Time's up. I don't know amazon is now considering a minimum number of hours per day to meet the mandate of three work days in the office per week and there's just so many shitty stories out of the companies like just demanding their workers come back if they were previously remotely and it's like none of them are like it's going great yeah you don't hear that or you know you would hear incessantly if it was going even remotely okay how this how this office manager made blah blah blah
Starting point is 00:59:57 likable for like no we don't hear that and also conversely you would fucking hear it if they're if like profits were down in a company a company could actually attribute that to remote work. You'd know they would also be like, dude, it's demonstrably terrible for business. Yeah. They've not been able to prove that. Yeah. So anyway, coffee. Bad for rents.
Starting point is 01:00:15 And it's bad for corporate control, basically. Yeah. And to pretend you're in Mad Men when you go into an office and have people feign interest in your life but they take the fact that like people start working from home and productivity went up and they're like okay well if that's how much they can do in 30 hours a week then why don't we just bring them back to the office and make them work 40 hours a week yeah Yeah. And just squeeze every drop of humanity out of them. Yeah, that's not going to work like that. Yeah, we'll find ways to work around it.
Starting point is 01:00:50 It's so crazy, too. We'll give them cry booths. Sorry, go ahead. We'll give them cry booths. No, it is just like, people talk about the office, like the office is a thing that makes people work harder. Yeah. But so much time gets wasted in offices.
Starting point is 01:01:03 Right. So much of what happens in offices is water cooler talk and just like. Yeah. But so much time gets wasted in offices. Right. So much of what happens in offices is is water cooler talk and just like. Yeah. Yeah. For those kinds of jobs, too, you know, because we're sort of like with school, we're like being socialized into like you go to this building for a bulk of your day and you do a thing you don't really want to do and then you can go home. And so, you know, you fucking around in school is the same thing like I would do going into an office. Like I was fucking around. Like, of course, I had to do the work that I needed to do to like keep my job.
Starting point is 01:01:34 But the second I figured out how to like optimize efficiency, I'm like, yo, bro, let's go fucking, you know, like ride some of these copy, like Xerox paper boxes down the fucking stairs or something like that. And also just like the internet made things so much faster like so much office stuff used to be just pushing paper yeah taking a paper from one place and moving it to another yeah like fax machines like just how long it took to get things and mail things and now it's so fast you
Starting point is 01:02:01 can do all your job on email for almost every job yeah almost i don't know why they're like what is it they just want you to suffer and be surveilled more it's the rent it's and it's also the leases too that a lot of companies sign with yeah that's what it is save them money but maybe it's all just like tied up and it's all tied up i've heard that about like i've heard the new york times makes all their money now off of renting the New York Times building. Oh, really? Yeah. That's amazing.
Starting point is 01:02:29 Because it's like they own a building in midtown Manhattan. Right. And that they just rent. Like office space out of it, basically? Yeah. Like they make their money being landlords on office space because it's not off the damn newspaper subscriptions anymore. Yeah, right.
Starting point is 01:02:46 It's the games and the landlording. So they all need people to go to the office because they're landlords. Oh, boy. My first job out of college that wasn't being a pool boy was working at ABC News. Like, I had to, like, run tapes from, like, one building to another building so that they could be, like, you know, something could be done to them that could be done, like, on a computer in, like, three, like, keystrokes now. And, like, I'm just remembering that, like, some of my friends were just, like, people along the route who, like, worked in different, you know, like, just people whose desks desks i would like hang out with as i was walking by and like distract them and like get coffee with them yeah i'll say i love to hang out yeah me too offices i love the hanging out part yeah and yeah that's the part i'm like yeah i i get well like younger people coming out of college and like like i get when they're like i kind of want to go to an office because like yeah you do meet you you meet you trauma bond with people you work with a lot of the time when you're like i have you know like some jobs you stay friends with people other jobs
Starting point is 01:03:53 like even if you weren't there a long time like just because how shitty the job is you just became better friends yeah that's definitely a dimension of it that i i just have to go somewhere else where people are working i go to like a library there you go yeah but it also feels like better because i'm like no one's forcing me to go here right yeah and then watching you to make sure you're you're doing something like walking around like a fucking did you ever have bosses like that who are like really on i didn't have any people that were like micromanaging like that but i would have managers who would make a lot of comments about like how i was talking to other people or like was like oh that was a long lunch i'm like i was yeah but only in like only in like retail yeah yeah yeah oh man i had a manager when i used to work at the coach store
Starting point is 01:04:38 in college oh boy yeah i feel like in jobs where i like, it doesn't even matter that much what I'm doing with my free time here. Right. Yeah. We're all just wearing magnetic name tags. Yeah. I was just throwing darts at a wall. get my name tag when I worked the front desk at a health club. And then I would just like put on whatever name tag was there because it was like part of the uniform and you weren't allowed to. All being badgeless. Yeah.
