Starting point is 00:05:19 Because I'm just a teen. teenage nerds, which that was a little bit more believable, but wow. I got a man. So positive K was... That's like her rapping A, it was like, it has a strangeness to it that I couldn't put
Starting point is 00:05:33 together when I was young and I was like, oh, it's the same person rapping. Right. That's why it was weird. Well, I was today's years old when I just... You didn't know it's National Miles Learned some shit day. And also, fuck me out when I found out the like Dr. Dre, anytime he's on a track, it's just the other person on the track writing his rhymes
Starting point is 00:05:49 for him a lot of the time. So it's like, why is Dr. Tray suddenly rap like Eminem? Right, right. It's always like, hey, you want to do a track? He's like, fuck. You mean you want me to do your homework? Yeah. That's another reason I don't like that.
Starting point is 00:06:00 I got a man song is because I'm like, oh, another time a woman could have been used and you guys said, nah. Nah, we better not. I'd rather be Tyler Perry and put on a way. You know what they probably did? They're like, we're like, well, have your home girl who did the vote. She was trying to ask for money and shit. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:06:59 Does that what's all the, is he fucking the guitarist? We don't know. That must be what's happening. But a lot of people who are posting memes, they're like, oh, Nicole Kimman just went through a divorce. It's like, she's about to clap back, like, the way she did after Tom Cruise.
Starting point is 00:07:12 What does she do after Tom Cruise? It's just like a glow up? Yeah, yeah, yeah. She was looking foin. Yeah, yeah. Everyone, she's like, oh, she's been looking pretty good. You, she danced in a parking lot. She said she danced in a parking lot.

Starting point is 00:07:55 Alan Strickland Williams was like, of course I can believe Nicole Kidman's divorce. She went to the movies all those times by herself. So stupid. She is by herself. I hope I gave the credit to the right person because I wasn't thinking about that. Oh, man. Oh, yeah. Her pants do look into her pants do look Anteaterloff, though.
Starting point is 00:08:17 Very 2000. Very shimmery. That's pretty funky. That had to be some fashion designer that's cool. Yeah, Nicole Kimman ain't pulling up in O'Han Taylor loft. Come on now. That was just made being a racist bitch.

Starting point is 00:09:20 what's going to come out of my mouth. You've been riffing songs the whole time. I don't want to guys. Sorry. I don't know songs. I can't do a lyrical miracle. Yeah. Lyrically or Mario Andretti. Spherical.
Starting point is 00:09:35 Oh, I went to the sphere and I saw the Wizard of Oz. Oh, you saw that shit? Yeah. It was both cool and uncool at the same time. Both cool and uncool. Yeah, we saw the clips and we're like, I mean, seeing anything in there's got to be fucking wild but then seeing like the other parts
Starting point is 00:09:51 that were just kind of like this looks kind of like shit there was there was some parts you're like I paid money for there wait what had you yeah what had you like that the first what was the first moment we were like wait I don't know about the first moment but the moment where I was like
Starting point is 00:10:06 this is too far because I had popped a couple things had popped up but there was like a guy there was like people I'm sure it's one of the clips that's online there's like people at the bottom of the screen but the bottom of the screen is right in front. I mean, everything is right in front of you.
Starting point is 00:10:19 Yeah. There's like AI people, digital people that it's like, you guys, CGI exists. Like, you couldn't do a blend of assortment of making a person. Right. It looks like finger monsters. Like my nephew could probably draw something better. Oh, that fucked up. It was so, it was like they got people that do not know how to actually describe human beings well.
Starting point is 00:10:43 And it was like robot. And you're like, why would you, just cut it out? You don't even need it. It's filler. Put a bush there, for God's sake. Right. That was the one that really pissed me off was this. I was like, I don't need to look at that.
Starting point is 00:10:56 Because, you know, some of the flowers and shit, like, that's easy to replicate with AI. But the whole person that doesn't exist. Oh, my God. It was so, anyways. The cool shit was like the tornado and the wind, right? Yeah. Because when the tornado happened, it looks like, people are like, there's garbage being thrown at you. It's actually like leaves, like tiny paper leaves.
Starting point is 00:11:15 And they're so cute, I saved one. That's much better than garbage. Way better than garbage. They just throw garbage at you. People can kick over the garbage cans. It's a paper shape. It's a keepsake. That is cute.
Starting point is 00:11:27 It was very cute. And then the apples that came out of the sky, you know, people really were waiting for that. I didn't really, I didn't know shit about this. I just saw the hilarious clips and I was like, I'm down. My friend said she was going. I said, I'm in. I want to do something. We got to see it at 10 in the morning, you know?
Starting point is 00:11:42 Wow. I don't remember. What are the apples part from? And the apple, there's little like, like, I don't want to call them plush. They're like felt apples. Oh. They come out of the sky because there's a point where the tree shakes and drops apples in the movie.
Starting point is 00:11:57 Oh, okay. Yeah. And so they make this huge tree. It looks really cool. I mean, the, the nature aspects of the, of how they extended and made it, you know, bigger. That was really cool. You're like, well, and I took an edible. So I was really into it.
Starting point is 00:12:11 Yeah. You better. What the fuck? 10 a.m. seeing that shit? Yeah, it was, it was great. In fact, there was a lady, oh, my God, the fucking, but the getting to your seats is crazy. It's so steep.
Starting point is 00:12:22 Yeah. I actually like, oh, hit, like, I, as soon as I walked and I was like, whoa, oh, oh, my God. Like, this is like, legit, a frightening experience just to walk down to your seat. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then there, we were not right next to the aisle, it was two ladies and then us. And when everyone got up to leave, everyone, like, rushed out, you know, we were, we were not in a rush because I was like, I'm not trying to stumble or and fumble. Yeah, yeah. Big ass fucking feet I have through these narrow little, like, I can't, it's got to be so uncomfortable for so many different types of people to be in there.
Starting point is 00:12:54 And so we were like, we're not under rush. And then the ladies next was like, are you guys in a rush? And we're like, oh, we're not in a rush. And the lady was like, yeah, these, these, it's like really dizzying, you know, and I'm, you know, I'm older. And I go, yeah, and I'm on edibles. So that's the equivalent. We're also not in a rush. And she was like, and she goes, oh my God, my son totally.
Starting point is 00:13:15 me that I should take some before I came here. And I said, no, no, that's going to be too much. No, no. She's right. It was a lot. I'm going to be in trouble with the police. She fucked up. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:24 All right, Marcella, we're going to get to know you a little bit better at a moment. Wasn't that enough information? There's plenty. Jack, you selfish, brick. I need more. First, you're going to tell a listen to a couple of things we're talking about. We're going to talk about a teenage mute and ninja gerbils going to Memphis. There was like a big Memphis pep rally for fascism.
Starting point is 00:13:43 So we'll, we'll, we'll, talk about that. We'll talk about Pete Hegseth just melting down behind the scenes after he fucking bombed in front of the most powerful people in the military. He's now making everybody to, everybody do a lie detector test. So insecure. Sign of a healthy marriage. Yeah, yeah. Exactly. We'll talk about mainstream comedians being fucking losers and the Google AI Trump dementia blackout where Google AI is not willing to weigh in on whether there's anything going on there. Google AI will give you a fucking answer on anything. There's no better way to show there's nothing to see here than erasing everything.
Starting point is 00:14:29 Yeah, yeah. There's really nothing to see here. Truly. For real, right? Oh, my God. All that plenty more. But first, Marcella, we do like to ask our guests. What is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are?
Starting point is 00:14:41 Um, my search, the last thing I googled, um, is boat cruises in Chicago because, uh, the weather is still nice here. It's about eight degrees for the next few days. And my friend is visiting. So we want to see the architecture and maybe some ice agents attacking citizens from a helicopter. What is going on? I can't enjoy anything. Yeah. Was that yes last night where they came out of a fucking black hawk?
Starting point is 00:15:06 Let's get a little, what? There's trendy Aragua in here. Yeah. Uh-huh. Yeah. We said, Awa Chilays. Oh. Jesus Christ. They're serving Iowa fresco. They're like, oh, let's try and get them.
Starting point is 00:15:22 Yeah, so that's the last thing at Google's boat cruises because I was like, but I saw that, literally probably the, but within a day of doing that, there was that image of the ICE agents, like, doing PR for themselves. And they're like on the Chicago River, like, oh, yeah. Do you see that? Yeah. And they're like, there was a guy with a camera. And it's awful. They're just making doing the macarena.
Starting point is 00:15:45 Yeah, it was gross. I was like, oh my God, you can't go anywhere. Giving out Halloween candy that was donated. We talked about that in the past year
Starting point is 00:15:53 where when you donate Halloween candy, it goes to the U.S. military to, like they're like, because the U.S. military is like care packages, but what they actually do
Starting point is 00:16:03 is use it to like bribe the locals. Oh, yeah. Foreign countries. Now probably in our country. Yeah. Oh, I mean, they've been bribing
Starting point is 00:16:11 children in our country. Yeah. You know, I mean, how else do you plant crack on a father? You know what I mean? Sure.
Starting point is 00:16:17 And, you know, just a little trick-a-roo, a little swip-swap. It's pretty easy. A little swip-swap. Been bribing me since G.I. Joe. It was like the first thing that I liked. Which brings me to what I find underrated.
Starting point is 00:16:30 Hell yeah. Great transition. Great transition. Perfect. Because what I really am irritated with, because nowadays when you buy stuff, it's just you get stuff, whatever.
Starting point is 00:16:40 there was a time where there'd be so many freebies there'd be so many free items with the purchase, whether think of cereal boxes with an actual toy inside. Totally, yep. Maybe a sticker. Right. But there was always some
Starting point is 00:16:54 giveaway. We used to have, and from the fucking origins of selling crap, people were always giving shit away. And we have finally gotten to the point where you rarely see that. So you're not getting something cool,
Starting point is 00:17:09 something extra, something to play with. Even Happy Meals. Remember when we had Happy Meals as children? Yeah. The Happy Meal box was a toy in itself. You could, there had like, you know, the little perforated shit and it would be a shape. Yeah, you would have a barn door and shit. Yeah, you would have a barn door and you could play with the toy fully in it and immerse yourself in the little cardboard toy.
Starting point is 00:17:30 And then if you had like siblings or a group, there was eras where they would make it, we're like, oh, they all connected if you did this one thing and you can build a mansion or whatever. and we and then and then what happened then we got the points they got the fucking Pepsi points and the marble miles and that's when companies really started being like wait this is how much people are willing to spend for free crap yeah let's fucking see how far we can take this and now we're in a position where nobody gets free nothing ever at all ever there I remember Estee Lauder man free with your $60 purchase of land comb four or five items. You'd get a lot of items. I was living off of the cool water free samples that you would get. Like my friend lived near a box store. You just go through there. You never had to buy cologne.
Starting point is 00:18:19 You just got like as many free samples. I was wearing for there was an era for like two years. I was wearing Nautica Sport Cologne. All samples. I never bought it. I just re-uped at the mall every time. Yeah. And it's also like, yeah, because you were too young to be buying a bottle of cologne anyway.
Starting point is 00:18:34 Exactly. Right. You know, it's like, no, it's training. you to eventually be that consumer, but I hate this thing where, like, everyone is expected to consume high quality all the time at five years old or whatever as soon as a kid can get a phone. It's fucking, it's so shit. It's really taking the fun. I realize, I'm like, why is this not fun to shop anymore? Because it used to be even not that too many years ago, the pandemic shut that shit down. But you could go to Sephora, also, wherever, whatever, be you start. Oh, can I get a sample of this? Even like you could ask them to try something that's in the store. They don't do that shit anymore. Oh, really? Well, Mac, will they do your makeup at the Mac counter if you buy shit? You have to buy a certain amount. That's always been.
Starting point is 00:19:12 I think that's the hardest to get rid of, but let me tell you something about that, too, is now with, you know, the popularity of places like Sephora, they do offer, but now it's like you do have to spend. And at Sephora, it used to be, you didn't have, you know, you could just go in and do something real quick, whatever. So it is like starting to change because they realize people are going to go in there and take advantage. But also, you can say, you guys got to figure out a way to obviously control that. If you can't, man, don't fucking change a whole shit for everybody. Yeah. I want free toys. The corporations have just won so profoundly.
Starting point is 00:19:45 They, like, now they don't even, they like charge us whatever they want. They're just like, I don't know. Well, it seems like you'll pay for this. Come and get it. It used to be, like, real you little piggies. Shouldn't we give them like a little treat with that purchase? I mean, they are spending a lot of money. And now it's like, man, fuck them.
Starting point is 00:19:58 I just shake it off. I don't even get a fucking cube to charge my fucking phone that I just bought and spent money on. Right. I get the cord and I see stickers. Oh, you want headphones? fuck out of here we should at those prices we should be eating all that shit for free still
Starting point is 00:20:12 it's crazy everything's yeah they just shake it out into a trough now I just want to remind people not to spend so much we gotta we got to pull back I've been talking about that that like I think the whole
Starting point is 00:20:26 oh you've been talking about a Jack huh Marcel I was actually talking about this the other day on my podcast on my podcast the Daily Zite guys but all that shit where they were talking about like removing like friction from the consuming process where it's just like you just hit a button and now we're all just like sitting in our houses i think that is helping them drive inflation like they can just charge is whatever the fuck they want because nobody is noticing because they've
Starting point is 00:20:52 made it so simple to to charge everything and like everything's on a fucking subscription and shit i remember my parents are like mailing checks to pay their bills you know it was so hard i did i did Yesterday I mailed a check to pay a city because these motherfuckers, if you don't pay with a check, they'll find a way to charge you. Oh, really? Oh, yeah, Chicago's sneaky. One shi-sty motherfucker, I'll tell you that right now.
Starting point is 00:21:15 You had to balance your checkbook, I guess. I don't balance my checkbook anymore. No, but in the past, like that regions of that work. You know? I saw my checkbook here that I've had since I was like 19. It's the Simpsons. Oh, like the cover. It's leather.
Starting point is 00:21:31 Wow. That's actually, and that's well made. You know what I mean? Like, checkbook cover now. That should have last fucking three weeks. This is leather, guys. The Simpsons leather checkbook. Okay, this is when consumerism meant something.
Starting point is 00:21:42 That's right. When your favorite characters were on your capitalist function paper. Guys, we're talking in circles, aren't we? We make no sense. Anyways, guys, like and subscribe us on wherever streaming services, explaining the people that are contributing to the streaming service. Anyways, what's something you think is overrated? I usually do one and the same.
Starting point is 00:22:04 I feel like we talked enough about that. Okay. You never know what I'm going to do when I'm here. No, I'm good. I think we did. That's cool. I think we did one in the same. Oh, wait.
Starting point is 00:22:20 Here, wait. I did write this down in regards to that is companies realize how greedy they can be, how much we'd be willing to spend like we're gambling. Yeah. Yeah, it's all a casino. We're all gamblers. Yeah, we live enough. fucking casino now.
Starting point is 00:22:35 We're playing with our lives. Yeah. All right. We're going to take a quick break. We're going to come back. We're going to talk about the news. We'll be right back. We're going to get a break on that one.
Starting point is 00:22:58 I don't even a breath. I don't like when you breathe, Jack. I know. I'm sorry. It's too much. What you knock that off, huh? You hear it when he laughs to him, he goes. Wait, what's a good way to laugh without breathing?
Starting point is 00:23:11 Just as an example. Can you imagine him? You would cook his ass if he actually laugh like that. Yeah. I'd be like always trying to show off those nice teeth. I'll always find a way. There's shit on your life. Oh, so you want to, so you think you're Tarzan on some, oh, oh, type of shit.
Starting point is 00:23:31 Okay. Yeah. I'm Jane, you're Tarzan. It's always something. I'm a sicker freak. Yeah, yeah. Let's talk about Teenage Mute and Ninja Gurbles. Yeah, so the Fash Across America Tour has made its Memphis stop.
Starting point is 00:23:48 And Pam Bondi, Pete Hagseth, and Teenage Mood Ninja Gurbals, Stephen Miller, dropped in to have like another, just having to watch these pep rallies where a bunch of fucking federal, like, troops and agents just have to hear some guys scream at them. I guess that's like the theme of the week. So they did that. They gathered all this law enforcement to basically be like, you know what? You guys are fucking unleashed,
Starting point is 00:24:12 which is fucking terrifying. Because why the fuck is Hegseth, the fucking secretary of defense in an American city telling troops, you'll fucking have at it? Because they're just clearly trying to make the agents and troops feel like they're above the law. Trump told on himself when he was like,
Starting point is 00:24:28 me and Pete have been talking that like, it would be cool to train the military on our city. cities so it would be cool yeah very cool donald very very cool that seems wildly illegal yeah um but hey you know what like the teenage mutant ninja turtles they're also radical ninja gerbils got on stage and i don't know this he's every time stephen miller speaks it's just some whiny bullshit where you it's just like big like you're not tough behavior and he's he's on a run he every i think I think I've seen three clips of him total in my whole life of him talking
Starting point is 00:25:04 and so this is probably the third one. And I'm always, it's always so jarring. Yeah. Well, it just doesn't match. None of it matches any of it. What he's saying how he's delivering it, his body movement, nothing matches.
Starting point is 00:25:17 Yeah. And Marcella, look, you've grown around people who've grown up around people who don't take shit. You know what I mean? Oh, boy. You know, you know what's... I don't know. I used to run an MS-13.
Starting point is 00:25:26 I'll just keep me not get myself in hot water. Yeah, right. Drone strike. I mean, I think like anybody, just let's assess his menace, quote unquote, menacing speech here. Yeah, yeah. Really getting the troops gone. But there is a square inch of block in this city where a citizen doesn't feel safe is unacceptable. This is Memphis.
Starting point is 00:25:48 This is the United States of America. Wait, pause. What I want the listeners to listen for as a bully, the way I listen. First you have to listen. This is why I saved this clip for you. you have to listen for a speech impediment. There's history of it there. You can hear it if you really got a good ear.
Starting point is 00:26:06 If you have a well-trained ear like me, I've been bullying since I was a child, I've been bullying kids. Sorry, that's just my history. Yeah, I've learned to use it for good, but I started rough. Okay, you can really hear previous history of a speech impediment,
Starting point is 00:26:18 which also explains a lot of how he says things. Okay, go hit the play. Okay, thank you for the play-by-play. Bullshit is done. It's over. It's finished. Well, you can hear it, though, can you? You know, the gangbangers that you deal with, they think that they're ruthless.
Starting point is 00:26:39 They have no idea how ruthless we are. They think they're tough. They have no idea how tough. We are. They think that they're hardcore. We are so much more hardcore than they are. Please, someone needs to sample this. I hope some famous hip hopper.
Starting point is 00:26:55 Yeah, right. Just uses it. Oh, maybe Kendrick. If you need to do another, if you need to do another Drake desk, you can, this is a so, we are so hardcore. Yeah. This could be run by Drake. There's no idea how hardcore we are.
Starting point is 00:27:08 What the fuck? They think they're tough. They're hardcore? We are so much more hardcore than they are. This is the, this is again, like, Marcella, this is why I, we were going to talk about this in an earlier episode, and I was like, I need Marcella, because I know, Marcella, you're, you're, the, the hair, your, the hair, your belly hairs on the back of your neck are
Starting point is 00:27:28 shooting up. being like this bitch ass this punk ass bitch right now you think you think we're so much more hardcore like that is the saddest fucking sentence i've ever heard is we're so much more hardcore than they are it's it also sounds like how he talked to kids in junior high like he hasn't grown up that he always thought that was the way to talk you're hardcore well i'm like close do yeah like the west side connection album had just come out and he's like You think you're gangster? We're a gangster.
Starting point is 00:28:01 You think you're hardcore? We are so much more hardcore. Okay? We're so hardcore. It's just a perfluous amount of hardcore that we are. This actually is frivolous. It's frivolous the levels of hardcore. I wanted that to go on and on.
Starting point is 00:28:19 Oh, I mean, it's there. It does. He goes on to basically say, you know why I'm hardcore? Because I'll have the entire U.S. military come after. So you're very tough. Much more hardcore than they are. And we have the entire weight of the United States government behind us. What do they have?
Starting point is 00:28:35 Behind us. You guys hear that? Right. Behind us. So we are going to win. They are going to lose. We are going to rescue Memphis. And it will not only be safer than ever before, but businesses and investment are going to pour in.
Starting point is 00:28:47 And Memphis will be richer than ever before because President Trump has decided this is a priority. And when President Trump makes a decision, this team behind me today, executes. Okay. So, yeah, for everybody out there in Memphis, I mean, I don't know. I barely know anything about Memphis 10 at key, but I don't think, I don't think anyone's hardcore there from, at least what I know from him. Not as hardcore as he is. Nothing.
Starting point is 00:29:12 Memphis? Oh, yeah. You're fine. I do love, I do love this representation. It's very beat for Vendetta. I love this representation of like a leader of the United States, like, threatening gangs. Like, this is the shit that they used to sample in the 90s, except. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:28 It didn't sound corny like this. Do you know what I mean? It's too over the top. Like, it is from a movie that, yeah, where like the performance is like, that's a little much, but all right. Like, it's just, it seems like he studied, like, pathetic 80s movie villains to, like, perform this speech. Like, how do we, like, set T something up so when this person falls flat on their face, everybody can feel fucking awesome? That feels like the express, like, subtextual. purpose of the writing
Starting point is 00:30:00 behind this scene. Do you think that the blood was rushing through his veins? Like he felt a high? Do you think he was high? No. Look, you know how not hardcore this? Dude, I bet he is shook. Atterol. He's on speed. Yeah, he'll take someone that a doctor or a
Starting point is 00:30:15 pharmaceutical company's manufacturer. I think like this whole administration is flying on Adderall. I think we're going to talk about it. I mean, I'm saying he doesn't even seem like he does it. I'm saying like his wife finally gave him black cherry Pepsi. And he was like, I've got to speak for you, lady. You think he's on some Latter-day Saints shit
Starting point is 00:30:32 where he's like, I have chocolate milk this morning, motherfucker. Don't talk to me. I had chocolate milk this morning instead of regular milk. I am fucking freaking out right now. I do feel like both in this speech and the Hexat speech where Hexat got up in front of the generals and was like delivering a similar speech that had like parts built in where you can tell they thought that there was going to be.
Starting point is 00:30:57 like fucking swelling applause and they have ox cord buzz like it's always just empty room buzz so so here's the thing that's funny about that to me is that when you're a comedian and you watch other comedians and you watch them pause for laughter that is my favorite moment of silence and now i have to rewatch this with that in mind because i'm realizing that i don't think i was watching that with like comedy brain in mind, but now I want to rewatch it with comedy. The pauses, because the pauses are always so funny
Starting point is 00:31:32 in comedy when people, there's a couple people with specials that they're like, I need you to applause. And then the crowd does, they go, oh, we're applauding me right now. Oh, okay, my bad. I love a force of applause break.
Starting point is 00:31:42 That was a joke, folks. Yeah. Guys, if you watch my HBO Max special, there's a moment in the special where I say, please stop applauding. I don't have time for that. Because some of us write jokes to the point that we don't need,
Starting point is 00:31:54 I don't need a plug. Your laughter is enough. I need to move on. Yeah, shut the fuck up. I'm trying to do something. You killed so fucking hard in your special. It's amazing. You killed so fucking hard.
Starting point is 00:32:02 You're so fucking hardcore. I was so hardcore. My special is the most hardcore. Hell yeah. There's words traveling about another comedian who just taped a special that went less well that we're not going to talk about. Theo Vaughn is a dumb piece of shit. Oh, you mean hair plug?
Starting point is 00:32:18 Yeah. Mullet wig. Yeah. I do have a new podcast coming out. Comedy is Dead Season 2 with a new guest host, Chloe McKeal who is based in Chicago. We have, it should be coming out next week. I'm really, I'm doing, you know, we don't do planned drops anymore, right? Guys, we just drop the shit.
Starting point is 00:32:35 We're in a society where there's no preparing for anyone to pre-list. Nothing matters anyway. Anyway, so we're dropping two episodes at once because we recorded an emergency episode because we wanted to talk about the thing we're going to talk about later on here. But we get into that Theovon thing, thing. So you guys don't have to talk about it, but I'm letting your listeners know that if they want to listen to them, they can take a little listen. I'd love to hear your commentary, because I know you're not going to fucking hold back.
Starting point is 00:33:00 I don't hold back, but I do think that you wouldn't know what I'm going to fly next. Okay. All right. And that, I'm tuned in. In kind of a related story, I just like, did you, Marcelo, watch Pete Higsef's speech to like all the Pentagon generals, like, all the top military brass where he just. Wait, wait. Wait, wait. He's got a giant flag behind him.
Starting point is 00:33:21 And he's like talking about how like, you guys are too fat, essentially. But like, you know, just giving. this speech that again, same energy, same like, you know, I've pumped myself up. I've delivered this speech in the mirror 20 times, but like you can tell there's nothing behind it. You can tell that he's like very scared. So anyways, that speech went very badly, just dead silence. No, like not even polite claps. And no, they were basically commanded. They were at the end. No, they were like, attention. They're like, all right. All right. Stand up. Now sit your ass down. But, uh, so, The fallout from that is...
Starting point is 00:33:59 There's a fallout? There's consequences? Oh, my God. He's now starting to institute random polygraph tests for people who work in the Pentagon that people are... They're saying it's to stop leaks from happening.
Starting point is 00:34:12 They're saying to stop leaks, but I guarantee there are questions on like, how good does Pete look in a suit, though? Yeah. Like, he, I mean, and that was a cool speech, though, wasn't it? Did he know the bench?
Starting point is 00:34:26 What was, Jack? Put me on the Polly right now. He didn't bomb up there, right? No. Bombing is not a word that we would use in relation to that. The polygraph machine is smoking. On fire. No, that was sick, man. That was so fucking sick, dude.
Starting point is 00:34:45 You're so good at lifting us up. Yeah. Jesus crazy. I was blinking eyes are that, that Spider-Man, or that's what that moment is. Wait, what? When the Spider-Man meme, when they're just... Pointing at each other? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:02 Oh, I mean, they're not pointing there. Got it. Doing that. Uh-huh. Doing the polygraph with Pete. Doing the polygraph. The Pentagon's calling the reporting that he's subjecting people to random polygraph tests. Untrue and irresponsible, which is the new catchphrase that they're using for, like, any report because they made journalists sign NDAs to be like, anything that you report that we don't approve.
Starting point is 00:35:26 Could be like you're basically the enemy at this point. Like the good countries do. Yeah, yeah. Like that Saudi Arabia festival we're going to talk about later. Okay. Yo, or right now. Right now. Let's get to it.
Starting point is 00:35:38 I mean, first, I'm just generally, right? Like, looking at the state of mainstream quote unquote comedians, it's so fucking depressing right now. Like, just for starters, right? Like, Fallon is not funny. But unfortunately, he is a late-night host. But okay. I had such a, I was such a fan girl when I was like 15.
Starting point is 00:35:56 And I'm like, that's where it should have stayed. Yeah, he was, I mean, I get it at the time. Like, his appeal was he was like the cutie guy who was always cracking up on stage. He's got cutie energy where he's just like kind of goofy. I mean, he used to be more chiseled, you know. He didn't have a drinking problem yet. Yeah. It was growing.
Starting point is 00:36:12 It was coming. It was happening in front of our eyes. This was, this was him. He went on CNBC to promote like some new show he's doing. But he was asked by the host on CNBC. He's like, hey, what's it like being a late night host in this era of like FCC threats? and how does that in free speech? And this is just like the very, you know, with his chest out,
Starting point is 00:36:33 no fluttering, straightforward, brave answer he gave. I am wondering how you're thinking about what you can put in a monologue, what it's like being on an FCC licensed avenue of broadcasting right now. You know, our show's never really been that political, you know. We hit both sides equally. and we try to make everybody laugh. And that's really the way our show really works. I mean, our monologues are kind of, you know, the same
Starting point is 00:37:03 that we've been doing since Johnny Carson was doing the Tonight Show. So really, I just keep my head down and making sure the jokes are funny. I have great writers, clever, smart writers. And we just, yeah, we're just trying to make the best show we possibly can. I'm going to keep my head down. Don't be mad at me. Yeah. We're actually not.
Starting point is 00:37:24 like Jimmy Kim, like famed radical political ideological Jimmy Kimmel. This is essentially like what he's saying. We're not like that shit. Yeah, right. We're just, you know,
Starting point is 00:37:36 we hit both sides. We normalize Trump. You know, that's kind of our thing. But we also like to hit both sides. He let me touch his hair, which was a fun moment. Yeah,
Starting point is 00:37:45 yeah, yeah. Yeah, the, the felon thing is interesting because he was never political. Yeah. And I think about,
Starting point is 00:37:53 God, did like a god i wish i could find it but they were talking about how it wasn't until more recent presidents that president started going on late shows because like he brings up carson but carson didn't have presidents on his shows you know so it's like you can't compare yourself to that because carson did sometimes teeter the line in terms of humor and it's frustrating to watch him make that comparison because it's like dude you're so i you're right that you have never been political, but to compare yourself or bring up Johnny Carson is not correct. Yeah. Yeah. It's just interesting to see him squirm a bit because, like, I think he knows. He's like,
Starting point is 00:38:31 damn, this is such an elf for me. But he doesn't want to be there. He wants to be drinking. He ends up talking like somebody like on cops who got pulled over, like being suspected drunk. He's like, no, this is what I do kind of like all the time. Just, you know, like, he doesn't like he looks like he's lying to his wife, you know? Yeah. That's the vibe. You can hear the voice when someone's just being like really detaching themselves from the answer they're giving. And that was just so apparent. But detaching themselves because I think he really believes that.
Starting point is 00:38:58 I think he actually probably has never wanted to ever put his toe into any political side of it. Like he gets tucked into it. You know what I mean? Like that's what I'm saying is him specifically, I'm not surprised that he's detached. What's frustrating is like, if you're so detached, then why did you, why do you have these people on your shows then? Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:39:17 So it's really pathetic. Is it which is wally? Or is it one, Mike? But, yeah, the Riyadh comedy thing. I was just reading this thing where Pete David, I knew, I saw Pete Davidson on the lineup. And I was like, okay, you're a comedian, like a stand-up like that. But also- And his dad died in 9-11?
Starting point is 00:39:35 There's-firefighter. That's just the wildest thing. Like, I really couldn't wrap my head around that. There's like this clip of him on Theo Vaughn's podcast or talking about it. And he's like, yeah, I guess because, like, you know, my dad, like, died of 9-11 or something. like I guess I'm I guess I shouldn't like be gone or whatever and like just everybody can we just pause and celebrate this Pete Davidson impression and this really fantastic I wasn't expecting I wasn't expecting to hear that you got it you got to get it was really good um I just watched the clip but like it's just again really it feels like you were watching it all morning and jerking off to it so you can get the sound right I was edging I was edging okay I'm not quite full full blown jail but you know I was I was walking the line as uh what's his What's this Johnny Cash says?
Starting point is 00:40:22 But, like, hearing him say that, articulated, and also he goes on to say, like, yeah, they're paying me enough money to look the other way. Like, this is what other comedians have said or some form of, like, weird equivocating. I think Jim Jeffries, though, he got pulled off because he's like, yeah, so they killed a journalist. Like, so we don't do that all the time. And they're like, okay, you can't say that. So now you're not going to come anymore. Yeah, because they haven't admitted it.
Starting point is 00:40:45 So. Yeah, 100%. I will also say with Pete stuff. Because his is the one I think my brain has been like, like I get sad for the legacy. You know, people are always like my legacy, a firefighter, they care about, you know, the legacy they leave behind and their family name, you know. If you're a firefighter, you're, you land mentally in like the traditionalist space. Like, I want to be a hero. I want to be a man.
Starting point is 00:41:09 I want to do something with my life, you know. And it's a bummer. And then you also go, yeah, Pete's just an American. Like he is just so American that he's like, why would he care about international politics? I don't really like, he's not connecting it like that. He's like, I don't know. My dad died on an hour, you know? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:26 It was like a long time ago and we like won a war about that or whatever, I think. I don't, I didn't really pay attention. I haven't I lost enough with my dead father. You got to take this money away from me, but it's that thing where, I mean, I think we have this and everybody in our family. That's why I think we should be talking about this type of shit. Because like how many of your parents give a shit about international politics? Mine did, but that's because we're from El Salvador and Nicaragua.
Starting point is 00:41:51 know there's a long history there you are supposed to care yeah and America is a front row seat at all the destabilization in those places too so like exactly you'll be well aware of how all that the international relationships work there for sure and so with someone like him he just strikes me as that American that just is like well it's not affecting me right even though it we know that it is yeah sure all these fucking rich people are all in cahoots but peace it's you know you know who we should say in and Chloe macaela brought this up is that Jessica a person because she's gay and Jewish. She's the one that she was like, she's going to have interesting stories when she comes back. Yeah. People were citing some of her old like stuff that
Starting point is 00:42:32 she said and like on stage and just in interviews and talking about how she's like, yo, female comedians basically don't exist over there because they can't say shit. And she was saying something to the effect of like, we have it so good here that we're able to do this material. And then sort of the underneath all that is like hearing about these like agreements they're signing to be like, you will not fucking say anything that will bring anyone into ill repute. Isn't that wild?
Starting point is 00:42:57 So producer Victor points out, I guess Bill Burr did a bit where he slammed Beyonce for going over there and then also said he would 100% take the deal to. Oh, yeah, that's right. He does do that. That's like how he ends it, I believe. It's like the punchline is, hey, I'm not better. I'm just pointing it out.
Starting point is 00:43:14 Which, you know, that's what's going on here. Yeah. And he also tried to be like, in America and it's like, yeah, but the whole killing a journalist kind of puts it over the edge. Or, I mean, just generally, right? Like, if you can't, you can't really be some kind of, as a comedian, right, like, you have to be a proponent for free speech because your careers are built on the backs of people before where they could not say things because of decency laws or things
Starting point is 00:43:39 like that. And I'm not saying that philosoph, I mean, like in a utopia, philosophically, they would be aligned with that. But to your point, Marcel, it is true. It's the same way where like, people are like, well, yeah, I'm going to wear Nike's. have an iPhone like I don't really give a fuck like that really like if it comes down to it and I'm not they're not gonna it's not like they're taking me to a prison to go execute somebody I'm getting paid and people are gonna fucking maybe laugh and then I fucking skate with millions exactly and we were my friend and I uh because we were we were like we wanted to watch TV together but we both had to like do something at a certain time and we was like we had a limited time so we're like what can we watch that like we don't care if we miss what we're watching that we both agree on and we agreed on old Bob Barker on Pluto TV, there's like an old episode like from the fucking OG days
Starting point is 00:44:23 where he still dyed his hair, Brown, that was always funny. We were watching those episodes and I was like, oh, this is interesting because this is the early days of like TV getting kind of spicy during the day. And he says shit that you're like, oh yeah, you're not supposed, you can't say that.
Starting point is 00:44:39 And it just made me be like, man, the history of entertainment, this crossover with television versus like vaudeville, you know that. Because in vaudeville, you did have person that was hired to say the political shit, you know, like there was always that act unless, of course, the venue didn't want that.
Starting point is 00:44:55 But there was always the, there was always the act that just, you were allowed to have someone push things over to the edge because you're in public and free speech was free speech. It's this weird space we're in where it's like a scrambled egg of the history, the past, the future, the present, and all these
Starting point is 00:45:12 entertainers that claim to be, oh, what we love Lenny Bruce, but technically you don't if you're going to this festival and accept thing that's money, you know? But I also know that the research I've done as an entertainer is I have learned that if people say they wanted to be famous when they were a kid, these are people, these are the people that fuck up and have no morals and no ethics eventually. That's the end. Yeah, it's just I have to be famous. Yeah. Because that's always been their goal. I have never thought of
Starting point is 00:45:45 that. I wanted to be a teacher my whole life. And then I was like, well, shit, I don't think I want to do what do I want to do? And, you know, make a list and, you know, comedy ended up on that list from someone else suggesting it to me, not even me thinking I was going to pursue the arts. And I've made a fine career from it. But it could also be argued that many people would look at my career and look down on it and be like, your career isn't shit because I'm not fucking hell of rich. Right, right. You know, I'm doing fine. Yeah, right.
Starting point is 00:46:12 You know, but I'm doing fine in terms of like how I've made off of your craft. How I've maintained my self-respect and who I am as a person. my morals, my ethics, my family history I'm trying to respect them and that's the difference because I could have been taking so much dude these motherfuckers Honey Boo Boo's mom was doing
Starting point is 00:46:31 a reality show and they wanted me to be the head writer like in 2017 2018 and they would have been good money but I was like I'm not participating in that nonsense my team was pissed because they were giving it to me there was a gig I could just take and I was like I'm not doing that I'd rather do stand up and be on the road
Starting point is 00:46:47 so there's choices you make as a comedian and as an entertainer and as someone who's going to be on TV, but, you know, in America, you can't really fucking, at the end of the day, all the answers are wrong. You're in America. We are everyone's demon, you know, around the world. Guys, I'm high. This is what happens. Hey, we are demon, though. We are demon. Yeah, I'm reading a history of comedy book where they, it's called The Comedians, I think. Yeah, but they, like, and mainly I just like skipped right to the 60s part because I couldn't deal with like the very old shit.
Starting point is 00:47:22 You know, P.S. guys, essay books, there's no skipping. You can read whatever book you want. Yeah, you can skip around. Jack, okay? Don't let the, let the bars, the... That's what I do. I go to the last three pages. I read those. I go done. That's because you're stupid though. That's right. Yeah, that's true. But I was surprised by how much
Starting point is 00:47:40 like there were a lot of shows that like the Smothers Brothers, I guess, were like a show that went political at a certain point and like they got canceled for it and were like their careers were really damaged for going political. So like there has been this censorship for a long time. And I remember like this came up in the context of Lorne Michaels because Lorne Michaels like went to a show a year after they were canceled and they were like getting heckled by John Lennon who was just like shitfaced and heckling
Starting point is 00:48:12 them. And he was like, all right, I never want to do anything that's going to get me canceled from TV. basically and so that's why he gave us Jimmy Fallon and then and then also with the Smothers Brothers is interesting because Martin Short and Steve Martin were kind of in that space you know they were young and it's cool to watch them go on Fallon and talk shit yeah talk shit straight to his face because they come from that era of like nah dog we were political like you think we're some easygoing sweetie pies but actually we have always been political because that is their history
Starting point is 00:48:44 because that's just that's where they come from so I love that they did that That was a, you know, not everybody gets to see it or appreciate it. Yeah, when they're like, he's like, oh, I'm more of a Gutfeld guy because Gutfeld was on like the night before or two nights before. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:56 And he's like, eh, yeah, yeah, and it's just funny because he's like, okay. So you're, oh, you're going to act like I'm not talking shit directly too. Yeah, he's a put, like, you pussy. He just called him up. That's, you want to talk about who's more hardcore? Morton Short, Steve Morton, okay? Yeah. He got a heart.
Starting point is 00:49:12 And they come from that, but that, that's that whole world. It's like, it's all fucking, again, it's all mixed in a really fucked up Diarrie bowl of nonsense. Put that on a t-shirt. Oh, yeah. Diarrie-a-ball of nonsense. Let's take a quick break. Someone draw it, and then we'll come back.
Starting point is 00:49:27 Do our last story about the diarrhea bowl of nonsense. We'll be right back. And we're back. And we're back. I got yelled at Jack and Miles told me I'm talking too much. head, I can do it ever. What the fuck was that diarrhea bowl thing? You know,
Starting point is 00:49:54 we were talking about freedom of speech, but you are just babbling. And it's like, that's freedom of speech. And they're like, no, it's not. Anyways, it's the whole thing. I got one of their producers fired. My bad. Here we are. We're back. We did want to talk about another, the
Starting point is 00:50:12 new look, the hot new look of censorship, which is you know, suing major companies that control all of the internet pipes that bring the internet to us, such as Google, and then making them scared. So now they are doing the bidding of the president. Like that I was just thinking about this in the context of the Washington Post article where like the Pentagon is threatening them. And like in a world where the system worked, they were just like hire so many lawyers to like be like, all right, we're going to stand behind
Starting point is 00:50:47 our reporting and, like, go fuck yourself. Like, the court is the last thing that is standing currently against them. But instead, because it's controlled by wealthy people who just want contracts from the presidency, they just, like, give in. And they're like, would you be nice to us going forward if we give in on this? And so that's exactly what Google did recently, where they settled a $24.5 million $1, highly questionable lawsuit about Trump's account being banned from YouTube after January 6th. They were just like, yeah, just pay him, make him happy, so he nice to us.
Starting point is 00:51:26 And around this time, people started noting that their AI overview, which we've made a lot of fun of, because it fucking sucks shit at its job, and also is killing journalism by making it so nobody goes to the actual websites that are paying to do the journalism. They, their AI overview is suddenly not available if you search, does Trump show signs of dementia? It's available for so much shit. Like you almost, the way it works, this morning I had to answer the question,
Starting point is 00:52:03 why are groundhogs called woodchucks for my kids? Because like that, you know, it would make more sense for beavers. They kind of look like beaver. I was like, I bet they just got it wrong and they thought they were beavers and like it just got transposed at some point and they have an answer for that. They have a paragraph that it answers
Starting point is 00:52:22 that it's just like a anglicized version of an Algonquin word. But like they, any question you can ask, they have a fucking paragraph answer summary. Except for this one, this one question about like the most powerful person in the world who is showing signs of dementia. Suddenly, they're like, we actually, we're not even sure what you're saying, man.
Starting point is 00:52:47 Yeah. Like, what do you, what do you even mean? So it will show AI results for similar searches about other presidents. It will show results for obviously Biden. Because he does, for sure. It will, yeah, exactly. Although their answer on Biden, it's not possible to definitively state whether former President Joe Biden has dementia based solely on publicly available information. However, some reports and observations.
Starting point is 00:53:11 have led to questions and different perspectives regarding his cognitive function as he aged. But not with Trump. With Trump is just a list of links. Age and health concerns about Donald Trump, Wikipedia. But it's just interesting that they're like, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:53:27 Don't ask us. Don't look at us. They have to regulate artificial intelligence because we don't even have regular intelligence figured out yet. What are we fucking doing? Well, I think that's why. Well, fuck it. Then we'll just outsource it to this new.
Starting point is 00:53:41 kind of intelligence. I mean, yeah. I'm also curious, like, who are they convincing also by like suppressing this information? I know it's deeply cynical. I think they're just like passing the hot potato being like, it's not us saying that shit.
Starting point is 00:53:57 They just have to run every decision through a will this make Donald Trump mad filter. That's funny because rich people have access to wiping shit off of the internet that they know that if something is, or they assume, that if something is popping up,
Starting point is 00:54:13 it's because it's paid to be there. So Trump's interpretation is probably like, someone's paying for it to be there because that information shouldn't be out. Meanwhile, it's just us as a unit being like, does he? Looking. They're like, because that's how it actually works.
Starting point is 00:54:27 Yeah, yeah. I didn't go, is my grandmother showing signs of dementia? You know, like, we had a family talk and we're like, is grandma okay? And we're like, no, no. You know, I mean, like, it's, again, with this thing, It's just one of those things that's so out in the open. But the narrative, just like sort of just in the mainstream media is just sort of avoiding being like, something's wrong with him rather than be like, this guy's, this guy's a nut, you know, or being like, he's just, he's so angry.
Starting point is 00:54:55 He's a hateful person. Like, yeah, he's that. And something is not right with him, too. So let's not lose sight of that also on top of all the other shit that we're talking about. But that's, that's pretty foundational to a lot of the things we're saying now, even. Right. People are pointing out that this has strides and affected the question of Trump having dementia because everybody's now, you know, there's articles, are Donald Trump dementia, search is being
Starting point is 00:55:19 blocked by Google, what to know. I also think, though, that like, just publicly showing that Google will bow to before the power of Donald Trump is, like, he probably doesn't hate that, you know? It's probably not the worst thing for him. Like, it's like we're thinking like, oh, this is a got- Gotcha. They're doing corruption. And he's like, yeah, motherfucker. That's what I do. Yeah, that's what I'm paying for. Yeah. As to the question at hand, we can neither confirm nor deny here on the Daily Zykegeist, whether Donald Trump is showing any signs of, no. But Fallon has a drink problem. So that's what we can. Can speak to that. I will say that there is a psychologist who hosts a show about his many.
Starting point is 00:56:08 abilities and said that it's not looking good. He co-hosts a podcast, shrinking Trump, where he explains how he arrived at a diagnosis of dementia, said, we have to see a major deterioration in functioning and language and thinking and psychomotor performance and impulse control. What a lot of people don't realize is that Donald Trump used to be a articulate person. He used to speak with a high level of vocabulary. So he's basically saying against his own standard. you were seeing a massive fall. Declined, yeah, yeah. I mean, just listen to a clip from even the 2020 election.
Starting point is 00:56:46 Yeah. And then go even further back than 2016 and then go to 2012. I mean, he was, he was an articulate racist back then. Yeah. What a thing to long for. There are times when he's really unable to complete a thought, sometimes he's unable to complete a word. According to a Daily Beast, started to call about it.
Starting point is 00:57:04 Yeah, I see them, I said a minute, oh boy, where are we going to? What are we doing with this one? Yeah. Acetamethin? The idea that he's never heard of acetamethin is, I guess it's not a white striped family. Why would he use that word, you know? Yeah. No, I mean, Jack White hates him, so why would he be a white stripes fan?
Starting point is 00:57:24 Yeah. He does have a family history of Alzheimer's. His dad suffered from the disease, at which point Trump allegedly dismissed and derided him. He spent the last years of his dad's life just teasing him for being, having dementia. yeah sick bro sick him and pete davison should have dinner yeah love our daddy's crew yeah marcella argueo what what a pleasure having you on the daily like guys what the fuck yeah i'm more hardcore than you and you're more hardcore you i'm more hardcore than you i'm more hardcore hardcore hardcore than you i am more hardcore i am more hardcore where's lynn manuel

They're nuts. Is there a work of media that you've been enjoying? I really have been enjoying Nikki Minaj and Carty be going at it
Starting point is 00:59:46 because I'm trying to grow as a woman and to watch them not grow as women is a reminder that I do need to continue to grow and hold myself accountable and to hold myself to standards that I want representing me at all times. This has been a journey to watch them go back and forth. Yeah, my God. They just, this is everything Cardi was saying back. I was like, what the fuck are you doing? That's the way to end it.

Starting point is 01:00:37 that she needed therapy that her husband is taking advantage of her, that she's on drugs, and she needs to go to rehab, and she needs to love her child. It's really, it got dark. Yeah, that was very dark.
Starting point is 01:00:48 Jesus. But he got to get Jack confused, him and his whiteness, just stewing in it. Oh, man, the way she was talking about culture? Is she related to Playboy Cardi? Oh, my God.
