I was thinking about this earlier uh everybody's like oh we gotta protect it it's like i remember it it was like six years ago we had it and it sucked like it's like you know it's worse now but everybody's like our democracy it's like it's fine i hate having to pretend it's so good it's like it's better than not democracy but it's not the shit right party is like i you know
Starting point is 00:15:06 can we like it feels like a lot of people want a certain thing but even though there's a majority of people that want it it's still not happening how does this work exactly right democracy it got us bushed twice it got i mean it's not the it's not the shit it's okay it's just hard to it's hard to hold that sign up i'm like wait so wait you think this is overrated i think it's okay it's just hard to it's hard to hold that sign up i'm like wait so wait you think this is overrated i think it's overrated okay okay got you got you got you as it was under i was like oh yeah underrated no no we're gonna stay on democracy though because it is overrated it is i mean it's not that great in our you know uh the republic in which we live in you know clearly that's the distinction we always have to make uh yeah it's
Starting point is 00:15:45 i mean we have a system that's very easily hijackable if you got a ton of money and that's all we see is the news channel you can like get yeah they can just tell my parents anything and that's gonna happen i'm like hey that's not nice they're like did you know caleb that subway tuna is a hundred percent turtle it's like, it's only part turtle, mom. What are they saying on Fox? I heard it was made of yoga mats. And it's like, I'm sure it's not all the way. Because I've licked my yoga mat and it doesn't taste...
Starting point is 00:16:13 It doesn't taste, yeah. Look, I... I tried one of those jalapeno cheddar yoga mats. Doesn't hit the same like the bread does. You gotta toast it. You gotta toast that yoga mat. They don't want you to know. That's the thing. You got to give it to Quiznos. I have not tasted my yoga
Starting point is 00:16:30 man. I'm going to be honest with you guys, but I have done downward dog. You haven't worked out hard enough, dude. I've done downward dog on a couple Subway breads, and let me tell you, man, I'm not as stable on them. I'm not as stable on them joints. You're leaving flavor on that mat, man. You're leaving flavor on that mat. I'm leaving flavor on that flavor on the mat it's like a it's like a cast iron skillet you know you gotta don't wash it
Starting point is 00:16:50 it's like it's like the cupcake paper you know at the bottom oh yeah you know you're gonna leave all that cake on there i don't think so like that shit oh it's like the cheese on the mcdonald's oh the wrapper yeah that's the best cheese one that's phase one that's the first thing i do and then you look at the little corners that are left on the wrapper. You go, oh, I got your ass. Talking dirty to your cheese. Yeah. It's so wild how I still even keep you bringing that up.
Starting point is 00:17:18 The excitement I felt of just being like, oh, you fucked up. Yes. You're mine now. It's good. That's the best part of any burger is the cheese on the wrapper. And don't be ashamed to just bite the fucking paper off. Like I said, when I was a kid, I used to eat the little cupcake paper. So I think we know underrated is paper.
Starting point is 00:17:38 There you go, dude. Eating straight paper. Caleb, what's something you think is underrated aside from paper? Mondays. Mondays get a lot of hate. Garfield started it, and it took over the world. But I like it. Sunday nights, it's all that Sunday scaries and everything.
Starting point is 00:18:00 But I'm like, I prefer... Mondays are not that bad. If you hate Mondays, you gotta... you know, a lot of the stuff happens. Sunday gets so boring. I'll take, I'll rest and take a nap. And then I wake up and I'm like, no, you can't do it. In LA, you can't do shit. Everything's closed.
Starting point is 00:18:17 Yeah. Just boring. Yeah. I'm like, Monday, let's get going. Let me, let me ask you this. Let me ask you this. Because I, I, I don't hate Mondays either. But like, I'm also in the entertainment industry and I have a feeling we all are in it or adjacent to it or have been for most of our adult lives.
Starting point is 00:18:34 And I feel like for us, like even when we had jobs, we never had like the traditional Monday to Friday, nine to five. I mean, but you have. But like, oh, but like oh yeah so now like i don't you know my days blend together i don't have like a week like oh the weekend is my days off and then mondays is when i work like it just it could be all throughout the week so like monday doesn't exist to me as a beginning of the week as much anymore oh it's been completely just obscured to you because of uh you not being in like the traditional in the traditional like nine to five like monday is when you go back to work so sunday is like right because i remember yeah like when i used to pa and do shit like that then you're like on set time and that's like whatever the fuck is going on but
Starting point is 00:19:20 that's whatever when i got to that age when my parents insurance no longer covered me i was like oh shit i'm not making millions of dollars off of youtube sketch videos i thought okay i'm gonna find a fucking square ass job and yeah i learned i learned to hate mondays like even when i had a job i liked monday because i all my clothes i get to wear my favorite outfit again even at school that's true monday i finally get to wear my favorite outfit again. Even at school. That's true. Everybody's like, oh, Monday. I finally get to wear my favorite outfit again. And I'm excited. I'm not tired. Like, I'm tired as shit on like a Thursday or Wednesday blows.
Starting point is 00:19:52 Tuesday blows too. Monday gets all the hate. And it didn't really do anything, you know? Yeah. We need to reconsider where our anger is going. Right. Monday is like that when you wake up and you're a little bit sleepy but then you like open the curtains and the sun hits you and you're like oh you know what
Starting point is 00:20:09 i actually feel okay like this is a and but like wednesday is when it's fucking four o'clock and you need a goddamn nap right bad and there's no more hope you're like every monday i'm like i'm gonna i'm gonna do it this week right i'm getting it done all my dreams i'm gonna get the girl but then by wednesday you're like, I'm not doing shit.

This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts, separated by two months. was the target of two assassination attempts, separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks.
Starting point is 00:23:13 President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today. And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore. The story of one strange and violent summer.

Starting point is 00:24:16 terrified. Should we wake her up? Absolutely not. What was that? You didn't figure it out? I think I need to hear you say it. That was live audio of a woman's nightmare. This machine is approved and everything? 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.

Listen to Dream Sequence on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. Checking in with the state of Kansas. Tuesday, the people of Kansas had their choice of primary candidates. Many primaries occurred on Tuesday in Arizona, like all the QAnon election truth or denier people won their primary. So good luck, y'all.
Starting point is 00:25:17 But in Kansas, they had to pick, you know, they had their pick of primary candidates. But the biggest thing on the ballot was a measure to strip abortion rights from the state's constitution. And this was seen by many people as like a first step to usher in the new era of total abortion bans. And Kansas has a Democrat in the governor's mansion. And because of the state's because the state's Supreme Court ruled to protect personal body autonomy in 2019, people are allowed to get safe, regulated abortions in the state up to 22 weeks. And it's also made the state very popular as like a abortion safe haven for many people in the South and Midwest, like people coming from Oklahoma pretty consistently and
Starting point is 00:25:54 elsewhere. So, you know, a ballot measure like this wouldn't just affect the people of Kansas because of the amount of other people who live in, you know, states with terribly regressive reproductive rights laws on the books, they would also be affected. So the messaging around this was pretty predictable and just full of bad faith arguments from the forced birth supporters. And, you know, just to just so you know, the biggest like funders of this being pro this amendment to strip the Constitution of abortion rights was coming from the Archdiocese of Kansas City, which donated almost two and a half million dollars, the Catholic Diocese of Wichita, and also the Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America Group, which did 1.3. So those are the people
Starting point is 00:26:36 getting invested. And they were saying things like Kansas would become a, quote, permanent destination for extreme abortion procedures, or that the state would be quote unlimited abortion whatever that means they also said that the amendment would have protected common sense limits on the abortion industry and the wording of that is all just trying to it's like the same thing they're like the gun industry this is health care okay there's no need to put in like unlimited rights for people uh and all the stuff that they try and use to you know create all this fear around it is all just bullshit because it's all about controlling uh people's bodies but the republicans intentionally put this on the
Starting point is 00:27:17 ballot during the primaries to basically take advantage of like low voter turnout and confusion among non-affiliated voters in the state. Because in Kansas, 44% of registered voters are Republicans, 26% are Democrats, and then unaffiliated voters are about 30%. So in these primaries, they want to take advantage of basically all the Republican turnout who are like, oh yes, I'm fully turned up for the stripping away of, you know, abortion rights. And then only have, you know, 26% of the electorate electorate being Democrats still like only 26% is probably going to try and come out. And then maybe they felt that 30 wouldn't know if they could actually
Starting point is 00:27:53 come out to vote on the measure. Turns out they lost that shit in a landslide and the measure, the measure was defeated fully. And even like when you look at how popular it was, like even in the most populous County in the state, Johnson County, it went fifty three forty four for Biden in 2020. This ballot measure lost seventy two to twenty eight. Whoa. So that's been like this huge, you know, huge result that, you know, depending on what how you're looking at it, you have people on TV being like, all right, the Democrats are safe for the midterms don't have to do much else which i think is the worst take possible i know but also at the same time really heartening to see how many people actually realized what was at stake and come out for it but i think this is just again this is the first of many struggles being
Starting point is 00:28:39 a democrat is like being like a hot teen in the woods like you're like oh it's it's all good no it's not it's never all good it doesn't oh it's it's all good no it's not it's never all good it doesn't even matter if it's all good there's gonna be a sequel and they're gonna get you there's never good right never never relax you can never relax when you're a hot teen in the woods what happens is jason vorhees comes and puts your body in a fucking body bag and bangs you up against a tree 50 fucking times, which is a scene from actual. But it lets you have an abortion.
Starting point is 00:29:09 But it lets you have an abortion. Right. So, yeah, that's absolutely right. Jason Voorhees gives safe abortion. He gives safe abortion. He is definitely. He's not backwards. He may be a demon from hell, but even he is not about forced birth.
Starting point is 00:29:22 Well, I've got to say this. People talk shit about hell. You're allowed to have safe abortions in hell. I mean, you would believe that's how evangelicals think about this. You know what I mean? Because the one side is we're on the side of Christ, our Lord and Savior, who has deemed all of these lives sacred through him and his sacrifice on the cross. all of these lives sacred through him and his sacrifice on the cross and then for every person who is just basically saying i support basic human rights of someone to have body autonomy they're very much like that's demonic that's satanic and in a way what you're saying they
Starting point is 00:29:57 would believe they're like you know who would have free abortions safe unregulated or safe regulated abortions it would be satan in hell well satan was the first pro-gay marriage in history it wasn't like the third page satan was like i'm for gay marriage i mean that's pretty yeah he was uh against the iraq war too so yeah he was always ahead of the curve listen i think i think we just we just know and if people don't know satan was that dude man satan is that dude he's that dude man he's that guy. He he he all the fun shit that we like. He's for it. I remember a Satanist like telling me that in college being like, here's the thing, dude, are you religious? I'm like, no, not at all. And I was like, but I did go to like Lutheran school from K to eight and Catholic high school. So I've been fully inundated with christianity and catholicism
Starting point is 00:30:45 but they're like yeah man because that's the thing jesus is all about abstaining right and then with satan you can indulge certain things it's the opposite but you do it responsibly i'm like okay man like either way i don't need i don't need to make sense of either of them responsibly i don't know if satan i don't think that's the same sound. It was such a weird pitch. It's like the vibes, man. If you cannot respect somebody, do not allow them in your house. I'm like, okay, I'll fuck with that. Don't be fake.
Starting point is 00:31:13 You got something, Lucifer. I see what you got. Do you have to invite Lucifer into your house? Is he like a cop? Or is that a vampire? Vampire. Yeah, cops, they can bust in your shit when you're sleeping. Lucifer is a suave British man. At least that was the Netflix show.
Starting point is 00:31:30 Oh, yeah. It was just a very good show, actually. I've talked about Lucifer on this show many times. It's a good show. But here's the thing about the midterms, though. Or this measure of passing in a landslide and... Being defeated in a landslide. You know, or getting defeated, yes, in a landslide and being i mean you know or getting defeated yes in a landslide i yeah duh yeah duh like i think people don't realize and this is the most fucked
Starting point is 00:31:57 up thing about politics to me is for a group of individuals who seemingly hates minorities as much as they do they the minority voice in politics is generally always the loudest fucking voices in politics and they always the ones that want to be heard the most right like i know like we as a people think like i can't believe all these people want people to get forced births. But in reality, not that many people want that. Not that many people want for abortions to be illegal. It's just unfortunately, we got screwed with somebody who put enough people who thought like him where all you need is four people that's all he needed was four people to say i'm going to do i'm i think yes that's what we're gonna do four four that's it and it changed and it changed the whole goddamn law and a whole like goddamn human right right so
Starting point is 00:33:01 the thing that they're scared of is letting the people decide because when the people decide this is what you fucking get and i'll say this you bought that last thing i'll say you bought this point up miles and i agree to a to an effect but i am one of those schmucks that think that if trump you know announces his presidency before the midterms that could be the worst fuck because if anything is gonna get the apathetic like young democrats or leftists and progressives is another is them saying you know what we ain't letting that nigga get back into the office or we ain't letting like right right know, like that's because that's all it is. Motherfuckers decide that we're like Leon is just tired and don't. And we see like our side doesn't give a shit about us either.
Starting point is 00:33:52 So but we'll come out if we got to make sure that nigga Trump ain't going like have power again. And if he announces, I think, you know, I mean, more than Trump, I think, you know, there is something about Republicans not being able to understand what's going on around them. We're like, yeah, they're donors. And like the people in the churches that they campaign with are like, we're on the right path. Mathematically, no, you are not. Like 70 percent of people are like, man, you should be able to do whatever the fuck you need to to handle your business like in your own body. And now they're really like, I think what's kind of fucked up now is like Democrats, like the sort of pundits on Democrat side is like, oh, boy, they totally fucked up and are just like rubbing their mitts more in this idea of like they fucked up when again we've been saying over and over it's like you have to think about what's happening right now like even people who are looking for like basic like obstetric or gynecological care they're running into weird shit in states that have these laws on the books
Starting point is 00:34:53 because they're like even that they're like i'm not sure what's going on so yes that that may bode well in the midterms but you'd hope that just in general, you'd see more of the politicians be like, yeah, right. Just run on shit that most people really need right now. And those are the same things over and over. People have been asking for health care. People have been asking for protection of like rights. People have been asking for better support for schools and things like that.
Starting point is 00:35:21 We were promised fucking pre-K and all this other stuff in the buildup and just move forward people on, you know, as a majority like that. But because of how blue and red politics break down, like it's, it's easy for everything to get sort of what, what's the word I'm looking for?
Starting point is 00:35:36 Like scattered. And we have like a bunch of different ways to pursue something when like, this just seems as clear as day. You could take a state that everyone, you know, looks at as a majority Republican state because of most Republicans registered in it. But still, there were enough people to say, not so fast.
Starting point is 00:35:53 You know, and I think that's a that's a part that, you know, I think is at least heartening for me. It's like, OK, good. When it was put to a ballot, enough people came out. But again, this is just like Tricia was saying when she came on the show a few weeks ago. So this this battle for guaranteeing reproductive health care and safe access to abortions, it's going to be a marathon. And this is there. There are plenty other states that are putting similar things on the ballot where you're going to have to vote on access to abortions. And it's going to require continued vigilance from people to be able to be out there and to repeatedly come out in numbers to reinforce the message that that is what people want.
Starting point is 00:36:30 So, yeah, we'll see. You lost me at mathematically. That sounded like elitist bullshit to me. I don't know where the fuck. Math. The devil came up with that shit, too. I've been kicking my ass since third grade 666 huh sounds like math to me 666 69 brother that's as high as i count sounds like that's
Starting point is 00:36:54 some common core common dirty what is that kuman no All right. Let's move on to Instagram really quick. I think I've touched on this on trending and just in general. I think has everybody noticed Instagram is absolute garbage recently? Yeah. Like the way it functions, like the way it operates. It's like nothing like you've experienced, Milo. Well, yeah, it sucks. And it's a lot of shit for people I don't follow.
Starting point is 00:37:24 Right. That's the thing, man. know have my feet oh i know people aren't posting on the grid as much anymore so you know i get that it's all stories now and i understand that but you know i'll go through just like six fucking grid photos and they'll be like you've reached the end of your road brother uh i'm just like damn that's it i can't see no more then i gotta watch it then i just gotta see a bunch of from strangers i don't know right and then and then even stories man like i feel like i know it's algorithm and it's shit like that but i'd be seeing the same fucking 30 40 people stories and you know i don't follow that many people but i follow enough where oh like if you ever like if you haven't done this go at the top of your instagram and scroll just don't like click on
Starting point is 00:38:17 the stories but just scroll through the circles and go to the end you'd be like i haven't seen this nigga in like four months. Right. And then you click on that shit and it's like 50 story. You were like, they've been posting the whole time. Right. Yeah. And it's all QAnon shit. Oh, shit. And it just guesses wrong.
Starting point is 00:38:35 It keeps guessing wrong. It's like, hey, I know who you want to see stories from. And I'm like, no. Yeah. It keeps hiding what I want. It's like, but you follow stand-up comedians. You didn't want to see this chihuahua in a tutu doing a backflip on a skateboard? Dude, my discovery, it'll be like pictures of Sylvester Stallone.
Starting point is 00:38:52 I'll go, no. I don't follow him. I don't want to see it's him and his family at the beach. And I'm like, what the fuck? Show me my friends at the beach. Right. And I think a lot of people have been experiencing this because that's sort of what, especially the geriatric millennial set that we grew up with.
Starting point is 00:39:08 We grew up with fucking I was in my 20s, but this shit where you're looking, you see friends pictures. And that was like the joy of just sort of basically sharing images from people's lives. And a lot of people have noticed this. Like there was a post that this photographer put up that just said, make Instagram what the fuck it was like. I'm tired of seeing people I don't know. I just want to see my friends fucking pictures and shit. And that shit got like 2 million likes. And people, they're like, yeah, that's,
Starting point is 00:39:32 that feels like that's kind of the tone on this platform. And people were even protesting outside of the offices in New York in what they called an insta-rection. And then that's where you lose me. It's just like, I know. That's all part of the story though. Don't get me all horny. Insta-rection and then that's where you lose me I know, I know, that's all part of the story don't get me all horny insta-rection? I mean, that is so
Starting point is 00:39:52 clearly the thought of someone who is so disconnected from the dangers of fascism in this country that you go outside the meta offices in New York like, this is an insta-rection we don't understand the inconsistent moderation practices it insurrection we don't understand the inconsistent moderation practices it's like don't combine these buzzwords and shit that was a false flag from tiktok they dressed up
Starting point is 00:40:12 they dressed up they came up with insurrection right and they're yeah they were collaborating with the fucking snapchat uh snapchat don't forget the snapchat oath keepers you saw it you know what time it was. Dude. And TikToktifa or whatever the fuck they call them. TikToktifa. But it's like, so there's a lot of people who just have a bunch of anger towards Instagram right now because of all this shit that's going on. And no one is feeling any of the changes or anything that's going on and when facebook announced recently that they're you know predicting revenue growth to slow down because of less engagement the stock price fell 26 people
Starting point is 00:40:50 started shitting themselves and the investor class was not happy about this so because of that ig is in the state of chaos it is is in right now and same with facebook i'm not calling them meta you're fucking facebook yeah nice try and like right now in those offices they're running around like pets heads are falling off trying to figure out like they're in pure chase mode how do we get like the thing that is duping us and most regular people want something like snapchat you know like something that feels more personal it's not just like yeah there's celebrity content but at the end of the day you're kind of communicating with friends or people that you know, or your followers, etc. And other people want it to be more like TikTok purely for financial reasons, reasons because TikTok has become so successful. And the IG
Starting point is 00:41:35 people and meta people, they're clearly betting on going like TikTok mode on us, because they realize it's too late, like other things like Instagram, right? Facebook bought it to basically kill it in the crib and be like, you're not about to fucking challenge us. We own you now. And now thank you. They weren't able to do that with TikTok. So now they're chasing these younger audiences. Zuckerberg announced that they're actually going to, there'll be twice as many fucking recommended posts on the feed because they want something akin to people like abandoning the idea of the feed as we know it and try and get into some infinite scroll like a tiktok for you page kind of shit and the way they're motivating it is to say we're not interested
Starting point is 00:42:19 in people communicating with their friends anymore what they're trying to do is dangle fame in front of users because they see what's happening on tiktok and the potential for just activating people's egos to chase like this fucking fame carrot and that's how they're going to create more intense loyal users to generate more content you're like oh shit yeah well in the 90s if you like everybody wants to be famous. And there used to be America's Funniest Home Videos. And if you won that, you got money. But if you just get famous, they're not sending you shit.
Starting point is 00:42:55 Everybody's just dancing for Instagram and TikTok, like trying to get famous. And then they never get... I'm like, where's the money? You can't just keep dangling. Don't dangle shit. I don't care if I have a million followers if I don't have any money. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:04 You know? Yeah. And correct me if i'm wrong but like influencers are still a thing and didn't that all come from instagram like it's just like culture like cultivate what you've done you did it like you did it and yes it doesn't make sense to me that they're like well we people aren't getting famous on here like they used to. Well, it's not a problem with like publicly traded companies like this. Right. Because, again, it's all about shareholder value. And when the stock price takes a shit by 26 percent, they're like all it is about growth. And they're like, I don't know, like who cares if we're completely fucking the heads around of people who use this app?
Starting point is 00:43:44 Like every study has shown, like especially with with young people how damaging it can be but because of that they're just doing all this wild shit and meanwhile all the users like what the fuck is this and they're surprised that less people are using it or just more like i don't know it's like where i get i have to see a bunch of stupid reels of shit i don't like remember during the cola wars it was like it'd be like you know it's it's TikTok and Instagram are like trying to be number one. But it's like, just be you. We like it. You know, Pepsi didn't start putting shit and piss in their stuff.
Starting point is 00:44:16 People still like Pepsi. They do. They make it taste good. Oh, man. I thought I was tasting some piss and shit in my Pepsi. Right. oh man just i thought i was tasting some piss and shit in my pepsi right and you think like two people talk about like be real or like ngl you know like there are like these other ones that are more just about like being very normal like it's not about influencer shit it's clearly just for people who just want to send each other like candid pics or to slice of life stuff but
Starting point is 00:44:42 that's not really doing numbers i guess but. But at the end of the day, meta has like their site set on this kind of shit. And it just feels like even wackier that like, like you're saying, Instagram gave way to really like this massive influencer culture. And now they're like using Instagram to then be like the, the like feeding grounds for people to try and become like famous in like in a very overt way and it's like hollywood the app that's that can't go wrong at all the fuck it's all
Starting point is 00:45:13 fucked though man it's all fucked i mean i've i've talked to casting directors who have been in the room, like I'm an actor, who have been in the room with directors and producers from a TV show or film or whatever, and the producers and directors was like, oh, we're choosing between two people. Let's go look at their social media. And had social media disqualify an actor, a talented actor, from the running because somebody else's Instagram or social media was better.
Starting point is 00:45:51 And it wasn't like, and it's not like, and when I say that, I'm not saying disqualified because this person was up here saying, you know, gay people can suck toes and shit like that. They wasn't saying problematic shit. They was, it just wasn't branded enough like they did nothing wrong right yeah and i'm just like it's all fucked it's all fucked so i i hate it yeah yeah well and like a lot of people say too like for the people who actually identify
Starting point is 00:46:19 as like creators like people who really like put content on instagram they've also noticed like with all this like algorithmic shit and like the recommended posts, it's actually made it harder for them to just post content and have it get shared. So they're not even like serving properly, like the people that they're hoping will use the platform even more to make up for the lack of people who are using.
Starting point is 00:46:40 It's very, it's very strange. Like with podcasts, people subscribe to the daily zeitgeist it shows up they don't show you you can go to your podcast feed then they're just like how about and you're like no the ones i follow motherfucker don't send me up where's the shit what's the point of getting the followers if you're not showing the shit to the people right you don't want to say the daily wire the update with ben shapiro is always in here no no i want to watch daily
Starting point is 00:47:04 zeitgeist what the fuck am i subscribed to the fucking antithesis of that fucking thing but okay yeah like i couldn't the reels couldn't be more off base like this shit that i'm suggested and i just aggressively i'm like this is inappropriate i never want to see this shit again like when you have the opportunity to do it i'll even report shit i'm like this is inflammatory like i'm fucking pissed like it doesn't make sense but i think because i'm just so used to the old old school scroll but you know that's what social media has done to us yeah that being said follow me at caleb signing on instagram it's my favorite app i'm trying to get it going great clips and you'll see clips from your podcast
Starting point is 00:47:42 yeah exactly i was thinking of you too and i, man, it's like you're putting out content. And I'm like, I can only imagine how hard it is to like when half the time people aren't seeing even the shit that they follow. And it's just, hey, man, you want to learn how to make orange sauce? No, that's inappropriate. Yeah. No, I don't want to make orange sauce. I do, but not like this.
Starting point is 00:48:03 Yeah. All right. Well, we'll figure out what that way is during the break and we'll be right back.

This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts, separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago, when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today. And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president.
Starting point is 00:50:47 One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore. The story of one strange and violent summer. This is Rip Current, available now with new episodes every Thursday. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I've been thinking about you. I want you back in my life. It's too late for that. I have a proposal for you. Come up here and
Starting point is 00:51:27 document my project. All you need to do is record everything like you always do. One session, 24 hours. BPM 110, 120. She's terrified. Should we wake her up? Absolutely not. Should we wake her up? Absolutely not. What was that? You didn't figure it out? I think I need to hear you say it. That was live audio of a woman's nightmare.
Starting point is 00:51:54 This machine is approved and everything? 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, iHeartRadio, and Realm.
Starting point is 00:52:14 Listen to Dream Sequence on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. speaking of ben shapiro mr ben i keep him drier than silica gel shapiro he just found out i guess that beyonce has a new album so naturally he has some shit to say and specifically he's putting his attention on the lyrics because you know how he likes when women of color, black women, whatever, do they got to track out? He likes to look at the lyrics just as a refresher. I think we all remember the hit from the summer of 2020. Do we all remember that? Do we all remember the spoken word jam that Ben Shapiro gave us?
Starting point is 00:53:04 Remember the spoken word jam that Ben Shapiro gave us? If you don't remember, I'm sure you do, but I'm just going to play this because I just want to hear him perform the lyrics again. Some of the lyrics. You ready? Whores in this house. There's some whores in this house. There's some whores in this house. There's some whores in this house.
Starting point is 00:53:20 Hold up. Whores? I said certified freaks seven days a week. Right. Wet ass P word. Uh-huh. Make that pull out game week uh-huh yeah you effing with some wet ass p word p word is female genitalia bring a bucket and a mop for this wet ass p word okay so we all remember that oh man whores there's whores in this house an old prospector yeah i. I mean, again, that's to emphasize how inappropriate it is because that's how, you know, that's his worldview. It fills me with so much anger.
Starting point is 00:53:51 Yeah. It's just, hey, oh, it fills me with so much anger. I got to say, he has this video, this clip coming out where he's focusing on Beyonce because she decided to change the lyrics on the track he did because they able to spur spaz who's saying i'm spazzing out on the track and like a lot of people were like hey you probably probably don't want to do that lizzo did something similar to on a track of hers and beyonce was like okay yeah that makes sense like i can i can change that word it is good to spaz on a track though isn't it aren't they saying like it's gonna be a good yeah yeah right that and it's not again used negatively but again she's just saying like oh i get it that it's about
Starting point is 00:54:27 it's a reference to like spastic cerebral palsy and like that's just like this old word that we've taken and completely just turned into like no that's like a very fucked up description of another condition and so a lot of people would say that and say oh okay cool an artist is being fucking mindful of like how their fans are interacting with the work and they're being considerate. Or you might not even give a fuck at all what an artist does with their work and you don't care. Either way, what happens? Well, Ben Shapiro sees this as another wacky chapter in the book of how the left hates free speech, but is also perverted. And I'm going to bring up this clip because there's two parts to it one where
Starting point is 00:55:06 he's trying to describe what's happening and he he actually he tries to defend beyonce here but play the first half uh just so you can understand and then we'll let him ramble for a second before he gets to his actual point a representative for beyonce has confirmed to insider the lyric containing the word spaz in her new album will be changed as well. Okay, why is he talking so fast? That's how they announced Pearl Harbor.
Starting point is 00:55:32 And he's like, a representative from Beyonce. It's like, dude. On this December 7th, 1941, it's like, what the fuck? Yeah. The Japanese have launched a strike on the naval base of Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.
Starting point is 00:55:42 Dude, your microphone's right there, Ben. I see it. Also, of Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Your microphone is right there, Ben. I see it. Also, man, listen, man. White people listening to this, let me tell you something. If you ever need to have an example of white people, no matter how bad they are, can make it in this world. Listen to this man's voice. And he has succeeded in life with a voice like that. But here's the thing, Jacquees.
Starting point is 00:56:10 No, no, no. We don't understand this, actually. I'm a master debater. Like, motherfuckers, listen to him. Like, they put his voice in their ears and don't have their dicks fall off from just like straight boredom and like just disgust. It's the symptom of boredom. It is. Well, when he's talking, it is. Well, allow him to go on because he does actually come to stand at Beyonce's side.
Starting point is 00:56:38 But mispronounces the fuck out of everything when he tries to explain everything that's happening with this album. Just like even with the Khalees shit. ...from Beyonce's team, they claim it was not used intentionally in a harmful way, which by the way is true. I actually, I can't believe I'm defending the Queen Bey here. I'm sorry, Queen Bey? Okay, go on. One of the Victorian guards for the Queen Bey, but apparently
Starting point is 00:56:57 I am. This is not the only controversy the Grammy winning singer has faced amid release of the new album. Renaissance was leaked two days prior to its official release date. Additionally, the superstar has now been involved in a feud with singer kellis over the sampling of her song milkshake kellis said that beyonce did not inform her prior to the use okay so we get it you don't know who beyonce is you don't know who calise is you don't know anything you just saw someone edited the lyrics to a song and and of course you have an opinion on again because ben shapiro has everything to say about women of color whenever there's an opportunity to do it.
Starting point is 00:57:31 Let me just get to his actual point because he's ranting for a minute. So here's his ultimate point, I guess, if it's even a point, despite demonstrating he knows nothing about music or what's happening right now. It is amazing. These are the standards in our society. nothing about music or what's happening right now. It is amazing. These are the standards in our society. Using the word spaz in a song, totally bad, horrible, remove it, offensive. Having full-scale
Starting point is 00:57:52 songs for children about the moisture state of your vagina, that is Shakespearean wonder. Oh, no! My penis just fell off! That'll make it really bad for children for children again this is he's an outraged merchant so i'm not gonna you know i i already fucked up by kind of feeding him the energy right now but i can't believe that just the fucking bad faith shit he
Starting point is 00:58:21 says just to get his audience to be like yeah man, man, because, you know, the WAP is they're teaching that in preschools now. I just refuse. I refuse to, like, believe that these people are this dumb. Right. And I know they're not. I know it's racism. I know it's sexism. I know it's misogyny.
Starting point is 00:58:38 I know it's hatred of brown and black people. I know it's hatred of free dumb. hatred of brown and black people i know is hatred of free dumb and i know it's also hatred that women uh his wife women just do whatever they want probably like a fucking cave when he comes near a dirty dusty cave of wonders uh when he comes near only so i i get it but it's just like bruh you know these songs ain't for kids. You know it. Like, stop. Now I get it. Kids listen to songs and things are more accessible than ever and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. But you know the shit ain't.
Starting point is 00:59:14 Like, motherfuckers, Elton John wasn't making shit for kids in the 70s. Like, come on, man. What are people supposed to fuck to? Like, how much is that doggy in the window? We're supposed to be fucking to that? What are we supposed to listen to when we're hoard that doggy in the window we're supposed to be fucking with that yeah we're supposed to listen to when we're horny the wheels on the bus go round and round yeah yeah i'm listening to the frozen soundtrack what are you doing here let me tell you let me tell you something about that though let it go if you have ever busted at the right moment when she said let it go go. Man. Boy.
Starting point is 00:59:45 You might not be asked out for another date, though, either. Right. You may not. You may not. But then you roll over and then just be like, the colds never bothered me anyway. Shapiro, he's going down on his wife to, we don't talk about Bruno.
Starting point is 01:00:02 Oh, God. What a romantic relationship you have. Which is probably true. Which is probably true. Bruno is probably the dude who she is fucking that gets her wet. Does Ben Shapiro think Beyonce or, like, Megan Thee Stallion and Cardi B, like, they're the new Rafi or some shit? Yeah. Like, that's what it is.
Starting point is 01:00:21 But I guess, again, maybe because his perspective is like, well, you know, you like this, even though I am about the same age. But I'm so disconnected from everything because I'm a I'm a performance hologram of a hollow man. Like, I don't know. I don't know what's going on, Ben. But you know what? Just just keep your mouth shut because not like what? Anyway, look, I think his mouth is kind of in the shape. I don't even know if he could go down on his wife. I feel like his lips go in. I don't think you could get in there. Like an inverse turtle's beak or something. He goes down there and the lips go down on him. Like, the lips eat him up.
Starting point is 01:00:57 Oh, man. That's a perfect joke. Got him. All right. Speaking of fucking loser shit peddlers, uh, let's check in with Alex Jones. Ooh, right now he is caught up in more than one defamation suit from parents of Sandy hook victims.
Starting point is 01:01:15 Because if you remember, he's been the one saying false flag attack. Like all that shit all day. Nonstop. Obviously their, their lawsuits are like saying yo man this guy's conspiracy bullshit led to years of harassment and torment i was never able to grieve my kids because people were saying my child never existed and was an actor or some shit
Starting point is 01:01:37 and it has been non-stop i want i we need 150 million dollars And he's like, my company's bankrupt. But look, we know it's all strategic. We know there's cash there. So during the discovery phase of this recent court case, he said that he had no text messages that were related to Sandy Hook on his phone. So there was nothing to see, Your Honor. I got nothing. I never even text anything.
Starting point is 01:02:03 So there's nothing to see. Okay, what about emails? I don't use email. So there's probably never going to be any kind of Sandy Hook emails Anyway because I don't even use email like I'm so Fucking like just chill like that and off the grid Well he took the stand After apparently getting just the Judge just like dressing him Down like can you not chew gum
Starting point is 01:02:20 In here like so aggressively Because that was his energy A lawyer first when he got on the stand first played a clip of him like on the phone saying that the jurors were like dumb because they were blue collar and aren't living on the same planet and he so that's what the first thing that was played in court then he said this is what the fucking this is what the what the lawyer for the sandy hook family said, did you know that 12 days ago your attorneys messed up and sent me an entire digital copy of your entire cell phone with every text message you've sent for the past two years? And when informed, your lawyers did not take any steps to identify it as privileged?
Starting point is 01:03:00 He's asking this to Alex Jones when he's on the stand. This is he's asking this to Alex Jones when he's on the stand. He said, you know, just to go on in discovery, you were asked if you had Sandy Hook text messages on your phone and you said no. Correct. You said that under oath. Jones said, if I was mistaken, I was mistaken. You've got the text messages right there. The lawyer goes back, says, you know, a perjury is right. You testified under oath that you personally searched your phone for the phrase sandy hook and said there were no messages you lied uh and he said no i did not lie and that was like kind of where that sort of line of questioning went and was like oh shit like this
Starting point is 01:03:38 this came out of nowhere and what about those what about his emails right well maybe he searched like a phone like he searched like a phone. Like he just searched a phone. Like I have a lot of phones. Right. Like he's searching a landline. I went to the Verizon store. I saw the new Galaxy Note S5.
Starting point is 01:03:53 I went through there, searched Sandy Hook. Nothing on there. And I bought that phone. Did you say he searched his landline? He picked up his landline and did the old QWERTY. The old QWERTY-like type. All right. I got to press five. I looked in all the wires. Three times to get to S. landline he picked up landline and did the old cordy the old cordy like type all right i gotta three times to get to s all right two nothing came up i just got a busy little shit though that lawyer that's insane you accidentally what the oh my god but he gets better right so the
Starting point is 01:04:22 emails dude he he fucking uppercuts jones with, like, another just revelation that Alex Jones was not prepared for. And he said by basically being showing him his own emails as evidence, he's like that also came from his phone. And then this lawyer goes, you'd agree. These are emails you sent to your lawyers, your staff and others others concerning your business operations, Sandy Hook, and other topics, correct? Alex Jones is so shook. His response was, this is ridiculous. So, yeah, he definitely got your ass. But again, to your point, how do you fuck that up so bad i mean like i'm granted i obviously want
Starting point is 01:05:08 the truth to come out i want these families to be able to you know have some semblance of justice but my god the lawyer's like oh shit i texted it to the fucking other attorney all this evidence uh all right well i guess that's that i mean i don't i don't i'd be afraid to represent myself in court but i think i would know not to do that right like what's the point of having a lawyer hey you're not gonna like send all my shit to the other guy no no no no i think that alex i gotta be honest with you about something, man. I think his lawyer hates him so much that he did that shit on purpose. It sabotaged him.
Starting point is 01:05:52 He did that shit. It sabotaged him. It's like, you know what? He's like, man, I got these lost tapes, too, of InfoWars you might want to hear. Seriously. I got the uncut versions. He's like, why did I get a link to a plex server with all of these video clips of shit we've never even heard before oh i don't know shout out to that lawyer but it feels like uh
Starting point is 01:06:14 yeah it sounds like i don't know doesn't sound like it's gonna go well but you love to see that for somebody so nasty i think the same with tucker carlson whoever i think there's a lefty and tucker carlson's like social media game because all his whenever he has a thing on youtube it'll be like tucker carlson this guy can't fuck it'll just be a very big diss like the the headline but it'll be like unbearable to watch and it's like it's it's based on what he's saying about something but it's right every one of them looks like a cell phone it's, it's based on what he's saying about something, but it's right. Every one of them looks like a cell phone. It's all about him. Right. So funny.

He just said, they should make short loaves of bread for single people. And it, like, hit me in my soul because his solution isn't even getting a girlfriend.
Starting point is 01:07:57 It's a shorter loaf of bread is what he wants. He's sick of throwing bread over. Thinking like a capitalist, though. You know what I mean? It's not that I need that. It's like, I need this new product. That's the other thing. Even my wife, Her Majesty, she's like, just put the other part in the
Starting point is 01:08:11 freezer if you have bread left over. I'm like, I hate frozen bread. I'm like, I like the idea. Oh, I know. My girlfriend does the same thing. I'm not going to eat it frozen. I'm not trying to eat frozen bread. Maybe I don't want bread that much. If I'm putting it in the freezer, maybe I don't want it. It sounds like I've given up on that loaf and I can't do that to the loaf.
