Hi, guys. Great to be here. here miles thank you for treating me to that concert uh it's the only concert i've been to this year yeah me too i was just looking at my own zoom window like i'm like yo this show's cool that was amazing i missed you guys how are you have you been since the election and whatnot oh you know whatnot yeah whatnot we've been whatnot feeling it all i'm like angry sad relieved happy then angry again thinking about what what the next four years will bring oh yeah for sure i spent the whole um election week like in a pre-depressed disparity like i was really just like trying to force myself to be as sad as

possible and then i just came out of it like a cocoon yeah and on election night i actually i just ended up watching like fast and the furious tokyo drift i watched the whole thing because i was like this is more interesting we're not gonna find out for a couple days yeah yeah and yeah fast and furious tokyo drift was in many ways about the 2020 election if you think you exactly thank you his license plates at hindsight no one ever called him yeah the at the time when i was just kind of like i i know it could be over but there's still so much damage done and like i'm having trouble finding like the joy in it aside from the relief like the relief was there but the joy wasn't and i think are you still talking about tokyo drift or are you talking about yeah yeah tokyo drift tokyo yeah so like

we thought that this might be the last fast and the furious movie it might be over but yeah right yeah relief joy i think the meme that like summed it up that I kept seeing was in Forrest Gump when Lieutenant Dan's they go to like that New Year's party and Lieutenant Dan is like this, like all sullen while all this confetti is falling down for the New Year. Damn. But now, you know, I'm relieved, you know, I'm just cooking. Yeah, we're cooking. We're cooking. All right, Brody, we we're gonna get to know you a little bit better in a moment first we're gonna tell our listeners just a few of the

stories we're talking about we're gonna talk about just the straight up uh attempt by uh lindsey graham to rat fuck the election in georgia in particular uh one of his own gop homies told on him but yeah they're straight up trying to do election fraud so we'll talk about that uh we'll talk about the president's attempt to bomb iran on the way out just to kind of put a punctuation mark on his presidency it seems like we're gonna talk about the rumors rumors coming out of the Biden transition team that he is not going to pursue a Trump investigation because he just wants to move forward. Just wants to play nice. Oh, good. Yeah.

We're going to talk more fight clubs this time at McGill in Montreal. There's a fight club. We'll talk about Michael Bay's new pandemic thriller. We'll talk about Parler, all of that, plenty more. But first, Brody, we like to ask our guests, what is something from your search history that you don't want us to know about? I mean, I'm pretty open about all of the things that I do search, but I am a little bit embarrassed that it's two weeks after Halloween and my search history is so full of Halloween stuff.

I just can't get enough of spooky stuff. What do you mean? Like you want to buy spooky stuff? Like looking at spooky shit to put in the house? You know, I'm gothh and you guys knew that you guys accepted that i'm a goth american um i do want some spooky stuff in my house i do have a couple spooky things like i have a large kimono on a wall um i had a blackout like a week ago and it was very creepy um stuff like that um so the thing that i have have been i think the weirdest thing that i've searched

uh or still keep searching is um this thing called um jimmy i'm trying to pronounce it right but it's halloween costumes that are like um very like mundane and like specific it's like a japanese trend called jimmy yeah jimmy yeah oh yeah like just meaning like subdued like just plain totally just like following costumes of like someone who has like has too many pens in their pocket or someone who's like waiting in line but they're like busy to go somewhere else oh my god i didn't even that sounds yes, like a very Japanese bit to just be like, no, these are Jimmy. It's like someone who dressed up as like, oh, I dress up as someone who has a lanyard and it's flipped the wrong way. That's incredible.

A guy who can definitely tell the difference between good and bad coffee. Yeah, exactly. Things where you have to explain it is pretty much my favorite thing uh your your search has ruined my day because now this is all i'm going to be looking at absolutely yeah some of these are super brilliant like they it's not always just like super mundane like one of them is a woman with her face painted as a standard Zoom background, like a little piece of a standard Zoom background. And her costume is that weird thing that sometimes happen with Zoom meeting backgrounds. And then they have like bystanders from a famous frame in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.

They just have like a dude from the background of that. Oh, you fuck with JoJo? Oh, I'm just looking at this. Oh absolutely jack does jack is on that jojo i see his jojo memes he'd be posting you know you know me uh what is something you think is overrated brody um something i think is overrated and um this might just be directed at my old roommates, but I think it's overrated when people put water in soap dispensers when the soap is running out. I'm really tired of this, and I want to be the advocate for people stopping this behavior. Uncut soap?

Yeah, it's just like, oh, we're running out of soap. The dispenser doesn't work anymore. I know what we'll do. We'll activate it. Let's put some water in it, even though we already use water with soap every time we wash our hands. It annoys me. It always grosses me out when I feel it.

Like loose soap. Yeah, when the viscosity is not right. It's like colder. It's almost like you're like, what the fuck was that? It feels like someone sneezed into your hand. Yes, yes, yes, yes. And yet, and yet I have done this because this is the move you do when you don't have the refill. Yeah, you don't have the refill yet.

And you have like, there's like some at the bottom like in the corners but you don't sure you can't like the the little soap hose or the soap reach straw doesn't reach the corners uh and so you just like put in a little water shake it around uh yeah i can i can understand a little water for sure it's when you fill up the whole thing you go three full refills with just water it's like this is just liquid in here it doesn't even it just doesn't bring me any comfort no it's water coming out a placebo effect with the thing that kills the bacterias in your house right yeah yeah as long as there's one solitary bubble that i can form when i like rub my hands then there's still enough soap.

Yeah. Come on, y'all don't, don't cheap yourself. Go with that raw, uncut soap. You know what I mean? Don't step on it.

Don't cut it with water. Just give yourself the cleanliness you deserve. Yeah. Cut it with baking soda or, or baby laxative. If you're washing your hands with baking soda, call me. I need to talk to you

i need to figure out what's going on with you if there's anyone out there who's like there's like you have you heard about this though that's a story i do want to hear if someone's like no i don't use soap anymore don't use soap baking soda now baking soda is like a isn't that a toothbrush like a teeth cleaning hat. Yeah. You can't wash your hands. I mean, as I look right now, you can make a paste using three tablespoons of baking soda with one tablespoon water mixed thoroughly and use any paste hand

cleaner. So not only will your hands get very clean, but your skin will thank you for not using harsh toxins. You happened upon the secret to clean hands. Yeah. So you can cut cocaine and soap with baking soda. Yeah.

Who knew? What's something you think is underrated? Something I think is underrated is, and hopefully you guys share this with me, but Hostess Cupcakes, specifically the orange kind. I like orange Hostess cupcakes, specifically the orange kind. I like orange Hostess cupcakes. I can only find them in some convenience stores. I can never find them in a grocery store. I can never find them in a pack bigger than two.

Sometimes they just don't have them. They sustain me sometimes when I'm like, I don't know, really stoned or whatever. But they're delicious. I don't know if you guys have fucked with the citrus i mean because i'll say when i in my mind the hostess regular one is the chocolate brown one with the white swirly on top right and then oh okay this is the one except it's orange colored yes and it's orange flavored because you know truth be told i've only messed around with the with the normie the norm core just the icing and i want i do want both of you to treat yourselves um i mean so you guys haven't experimented with the rest of the host's

catalog have you guys had a snowball before i'm host curious but I haven't fully dove in yet. Oh my gosh. I've definitely had a snowball. Snowball is the one that's more marshmallow-y than you would expect, right? Yeah. Snowball's the pink, coconut-y, marshmallow-y one. That's one that, in theory, I should be super into, but the marshmallow-ness of it all doesn't really do it for me. Icing boy. Jack, show me your praxis yeah um the i've never had the orange but that sounds so there's like a

citrus tang that they've infused into the yes the icing has a little bit of a citrus tang i'm sure it has absolutely no nutritional value. Oh yeah. We're not asking about that. Come on. Yeah. Okay, good.

Yeah. There's no vitamin C in there or any of that bad stuff. I need to fight off scurvy. I mean, this is like, if we're going to be trash Americans, like this is what America is unique for is like like it's not we america doesn't have any cuisine we have fucking hostess cupcakes that are made with all sorts of unnatural sciences

that make it so that they don't break down over the course of 20 years like they'll they'll still be moist if you leave them open on a shelf for 20 years uh that is that's our offering to uh humanity i mean my favorite flavor since a very young age is blue raspberry and uh i don't i don't think those real mine's mystery that's my favorite flavor if we're going off straight up airhead flavors. Yeah. When you got that, you're like, yo. And then it took one asshole to be like, it's cherry. I'm like, get the fuck out of my face with that. Shit, this is fucking mystery, fool.

Wait, I thought mystery was just a rotation of different ones without the food coloring. Technically it is, but I feel like they definitely have to be a light on maybe two flavors. whenever a mystery was a blue razz i lost my mind running through the streets yeah yeah you become that gift for the dude the kid with the dress and the wind i actually am the kid in that. I don't know if you guys know that.

Yeah, when Blow Pops made it so that you could do the blue res, that was a big day for me. Oh, man. Did you have that thing with the Tootsie Pops? If you had the rapper with the star on it, you'd be like, I demand another one for free. There was an urban legend that if you had the one that had a star on top, you could exchange that for a free one. i have never heard of this that was born out of my school like snack hut

that they would have at the end of the day where you're going like buy like a fucking thing for like 25 cents and there they would be like okay if you got that you can come back and we'll give you another one i tried to do that at like a liquor store and they're like get the fuck out of my face i was like oh fuck out of here i'm sorry i didn't know but yeah i think we had that at like the i think we had that at like the fair at my elementary school but but yeah i guess it's not it's not legally binding uh this is not legal tender i tried to tried to put a down payment on a house with that in my 20s and it didn didn't work out. We're going to be like, excuse me, I have 40,000 of these right here. We only accept Monopoly money, okay?

Right. All right, let's get into just a quick update on a story. We talked about how the NYPD bust in on a fight club that was happening in a warehouse in the Bronx. in on a fight club that was happening in a warehouse in the Bronx. And one of our listeners actually pointed out a few days ago at McGill university in Montreal, which is like Canada's Harvard. It's like one of the best schools in America. The freshmen were doing a fight club just out in a park where they had like

sent out invitations. So not, not great at the whole fight club thing. They didn't know the, the first rule of fight club just out in a park where they had like sent out invitations. So not, not great at the whole fight club thing. They didn't know the, the first rule of fight club. Yeah. Not supposed to talk about it, but how'd they get busted?

They did put it out on social media. People, people send it around, but then the rumor had been that it like they sent it around the, uh, campus security went and said that it was a hoax and that it hadn't really happened but they it uh a kid was walking back from the library and walked past the fight club and then like reported it and like took a picture of it um

and it was actually happening it was just uh they had switched the location like uh you know like good teenagers always were any of the um people in the fight club wearing masks that's the real question the list yeah right so i mean i think that were they being safe i don't think so i i think they were not i think they were uh you know like shirt kind of fight club because i know in the bronx we heard oh my god because the bronx was like hookah and straight up fighting and i'm like yeah it was this and so they're right they're just wrestling they're not like punching each other out yeah they said there were three guys like that it was organized in the sense that there were three guys who had a box of supplies including water bottles so

you know a real fight club shit right here didn't seem to be clear rules around the fighting the only ground rules seem to be no punches to the face and that like it seemed to emphasize grappling but there was organized gambling on who would

win the fight but then they didn't know like what constituted a win. Um, it's just like, I don't know if this is a fight club. This sounds like a, like, like toxic masculinity,

like disguised, like a hugging party. Yeah. And they're like, they're like, nah, man, we'll call it a fight club.

But I think that that's what... We need that physical touch. I think that's all part of it is the toxic masculinity bans the ability for men to have physical contact with one another. And now that we have COVID, quarantines, people are really isolated from one another and so you know this was actually a thesis that john boys and felix biederman created this documentary called fighting in the age of loneliness like i think it was a couple years ago where the thesis was like the rise of mma had corresponded with just like loneliness becoming more and more a thing because we were so physically isolated from one another because of technology yeah sometimes you want to get in the

octagon with your feelings right exactly i'm gonna do a counter one it's called the homie hugging ring where it's like yo get your boys in here and hug man do whatever the fuck y'all want show each other affection let's take money let's put money on this who can hold the hug the long way it's like fuck it like if that's the answer like really we should be also doing as much well i mean i think most people if they're not if they're in touch with their you know ability to be affectionate are doing it but like yeah just embrace it literally i think we develop like a tyler durden like alternate personality for this club right it's Marianne Williamson yeah but I don't know I think I think that's an interesting thing to keep our eye on as like fight clubs are popping up like the deeper we get into quarantine and like

social distancing and isolation um i was in a fight club when i was in high school were you really if i'm gonna be honest we i went to this um small high school and on wednesdays we would start at 10 o'clock instead of at eight o'clock and we had absolutely no supervision during that time so like in the courtyard like a couple of us would just be like let's just fight for like 30 seconds at a time just like in a friendly way don't hit each other in the face um it only lasted for like a couple months but um that was a bonding experience um compared to i feel like what this is which was well actually maybe they're both sad. Have your friendships from this fight club lasted into adulthood?

Do you have fight club friends from that? Just a few people, and they're really into stuff like Magic the Gathering now. So, yeah. What are you going to do? Cards are a way to have contact with one another, right? Yeah, and they're much more brutal than a fifth. That's right. Oh, yeah.

Oh, I'll tap. I'll tap the shit out of this mana card while I summon Lord of the Pit. Oh, that's good. All right, guys, let's take a quick break. My magic homies out there. 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.

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. 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.

Some people won't give you the real talk on drugs, but it's time we know the facts. Fentanyl is often laced into illicit drugs and used to make fake versions of prescription pills.

You can't see it, taste it, or smell it. Suppliers mix fentanyl into their products because it's potent and cheap. And the dealer might not even know.

I'm Danielle Robay. And we're the hosts of The Bright Side, the daily podcast from Hello Sunshine that is guaranteed to light up your day. Every weekday, we bring you conversations with the culture makers who inspire us. Like a recent episode with Latin Grammy winner, podcast host, and TV personality Chiquis about making a name for herself as the eldest daughter of beloved singer Jenny Rivera. I'm not afraid. And I think that that's why I've been able to kind of do my own thing

and not necessarily stay in my mom's shadow because I'm not afraid of stepping out of my comfort zone and shaking things up a little bit because that's the only way I feel that you're going to make history. Listen to The Bright Side from Hello Sunshine on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Daphne Caruana Galizia was a Maltese investigative journalist who on October 16, 2017, was murdered. There are crooks everywhere you look now. The situation is desperate.

My name is Manuel Delia. I am one of the hosts of Crooks Everywhere, a podcast that unhurts the plot to murder a one-woman Wikileaks. Daphne exposed the culture of crime and corruption that were turning her beloved country into a mafia state. And she paid the ultimate price. Listen to Crooks Everywhere starting September 25th on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. And yeah, I mean, this was not a surprising story. I guess it's just surprising how out in the open it is.

But I think I've said it's surprising how out in the open it is like a hundred times in the past couple months so maybe not surprising anymore but the georgia secretary of state who bowed to gop pressure and was like fine i'll do a recount um and you know they weren't finding enough votes for trump uh and now he has come out and said that uh people like lindsey graham were basically asking him to throw away votes for biden for with no legal uh justification yeah it feels like that meme where like the two astronauts and they're like the rat fucking was always like it's the republicans and then the other ones behind me like it always has been with the gun like yeah as much as they want to scream about this ballot fraud or this or even fucking you know lieutenant governor dan patrick in texas being like i will give a million dollars to someone desperate enough to fabricate a story

about election fraud but let's be real it's not a million dollars it's 25 000 i'm just going to say a million to sweeten the deal. Yeah. Up to a million. But minimum guarantee the MG on that. Twenty five K. So now how much money would it take you guys to do election fraud or fabricate a story to usher in fascism into the United States? I mean, everyone has a prize miles. Right. So if it's to usher in fascism to the United States, I would need. 35 grand probably. Yeah. At least.

Yeah. I mean, enough to pay my Mazda off. I'll give it to you cheaper than that. Oh, okay, cool. Well, let's talk after this. Competitive. Yeah. But yeah.

So like as all these stories come out and we learn more demographically how people were voting and like all the other ins and outs of Election Day. But now we're hearing more about what the fuck was going on in between Election Day and now. And yeah, Brad Raffensperger, who is the secretary of state for Georgia, he's like, yeah, I'm not going to lie. A lot of Republicans repressing me, including Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, who is basically going around this this line down. Like how how valid are these legally cast ballots that have been corrected? And just like asking questions when he was saying like, yo, it was kind of weird and like inappropriate. And he said, quote, in their conversation, Graham questioned Raffensperger about the state's signature matching law and whether political bias could have prompted poll workers to accept ballots with non-matching signatures

graham also asked whether raffensperger had the power to toss all mail ballots in counties found to have higher rates of non-matching signatures so he said can you straight up boot as many votes as possible and he's like that's actually not the courts have to do that. I don't have the power to do that. So, no. So, yes. And Raffensperger is a Republican. He's a Republican. Yeah. But, you know, like.

This is a Republican being like, guys, I. Unless you're Chris Kobach, you know, and you're a Republican secretary of state. Like, there's some level where you do believe that, like, elections are good enough or worth, like, not fucking with like this. Like, they're asking him to. But, I mean, this story is just so fucked up because lindsey graham is from south carolina yeah so what the fuck is he doing talking to him we knew uh doug collins was you know hooting and hollering from his seat so it is the secretary of state of south carolina does he have something to say as well was who else was Who else have these people been talking to? Right.

Wait, who's Doug Collins? Is it Doug Collins? Yeah, Doug Collins. I just Googled it. From Georgia. The only Doug Collins I know is the guy who coached Michael Jordan before he got fired. No, no, no, no, no. Doug Collins is running for Senate, or was running for Senate.

And right now he's uh a congressperson from georgia and it's not the same guy it's definitely not i could look into that it might be but i will i'll double check i don't want to say unequivocally right now no cool cool um i am a political expert uh i feel like the guy who did in the air tonight nah man that's that's phil collins right right right who am i thinking of then that's your expert political insider take doug collins also the name of michael jordan's coach from the fair fair fair uh and that, you can take that to the bank. I mean, more than that, like I would know him more as like a pundit now, right?

Wouldn't you talk about Doug Collins more about being on TV than, I mean, yes, he did coach Michael Jordan, but from, I don't know. Yeah. I mean, that's still his most iconic thing, right? Yeah. What are we doing right now? Let's go off on a side tangent.

What do people really know Doug Collins for? And also his legal name is Paul. Doug is his middle name. What? Yeah, Paul Collins. Some people are just so inherently Dugs that you just have to, yeah, they just take on the mantle of being a Doug. Isn't that true?

Yeah. Isn't it? Do you know Doug who feels really Doug? I know three Dougs, three Doug Knight. And they all, they all, they're,

they hold down the Doug Brown. They throw, they hold down the Doug brand. Well, my old roommate's name was Doug. So I don't want you to talk any shit just in case he's listening. But, um,

okay. In my experience, Doug's are goofy and dependable dudes yeah i was never talking shit you know they have a unique vibe more in the sense that like just it's always unique to them you're like yeah you are a dog yeah but it's nothing like there's no like set of variables or traits to be like a dog is these five things yeah i have a friend who had a kid and uh was trying to name him uh charles and then the government came in and we're like no that's actually a doug you have to you have to name them doug you're like okay douglas like we said

all right let's talk about rudy giuliani, who got the who gets all the good assignments from the Trump administration. Promoting Borat. Yeah. Right. Oh, boy. Yeah. Forever changing the way men tuck their shirts in. You know, so Trump did assign Rudy the role of spearhead, as we saw from that tweet, from all of the litigation, all of the legal battles that are happening to try and, I guess, I don't know, slow crawl the eventual concession. They tried initially to nullify like three million votes in Pennsylvania because their argument was like, there are no poll observers. And then the judge was like, there are no, you can confirm that. And he's like, well, we know there is a non-zero number of poll workers or poll observers. And they're like, what are you saying? Well, that means there are, if it's non-zero and you're just made it too easy for people to correct ballots that weren't signed properly. And even then, you've shrunk your margin down to something that isn't going to be close to closing the 70,000 vote gap that exists in Pennsylvania. And then the Trump campaign is going on around like, well, that's not what happened.

And they were getting really mad when people pointed out that they were paring down the scope of the lawsuit. So there's nothing of consequence in terms of reversing the results right now. Then after like a bunch of lawyers, like basically said, you know, well, we're not, we don't really want to represent y'all anymore. Like these doubt they've been doing this sort of merry-go-round of legal representations. And recently they landed on Mark Scare, it on mark scare scaringi uh who is a local uh like radio pundit and lawyer from harrisburg and hell yeah he was like he's like i'll represent y'all like i know what needs to be done uh but i just want to play this because on his radio show on november 7th he said this about what was going on with the trump campaign yeah including fox news announced that Joe Biden has won Pennsylvania and Nevada and has now

won the presidency. Joe Biden, according to the media, will be the 46th president of the United States of America. Now, I've been saying since Wednesday morning that Biden would win. And to my friends out there in the WHP 580 listening audience and on Facebook and Twitter, in my opinion, there really are no bombshells that are about to drop that will derail a Biden presidency, including these lawsuits. And I really don't want to get into a discussion on any of these pending lawsuits filed by the Trump campaign or the state GOPs.

And I will say that some of them have merit, certainly like the lawsuits filed by our Pennsylvania Republican Party led by our great Chairman Lawrence Tavis. Several of the other lawsuits don't seem to have much evidence of substantiating their claims. And at the end of the day in my view the litigation will not work so that's who they have representing them in court is it dude before this is like man they don't really have shit i've seen this this is this is this is not a winner so that i think that caused a little more chaos in trump world and got rudy on you know rud Rudy out there. But, you know, when there's a thing a few people pointed out,

Rudy has not been in court like in the capacity of an attorney since 1992. And from what I'm seeing on Twitter from journalists that are in the courtroom, as Rudy Giuliani is speaking on Tuesday, he is just rambling to the point that they're cringing reporting on him pretending to be an attorney and talking at a judge like this I mean trying that non-zero uh number of poll observers is like so strange like uh because the judge was like saying so you're saying there are no poll observers there and And they said, well, there is a non-zero amount. It's like, it's really a swing. So, yeah, that's where we're at. It feels like they're just trying to save face still from when they did a speech in an alley or whatever next to a deal.

Oh, yeah. Total landscaping yeah at the four seasons yeah exactly yeah again when i keep saying this bless the president for trusting his worst instincts time and time and again is to just get this fucking like idiot in there who fucking doesn't know anything about what's going on and what the perception is of this case and how it's evolved and how like a lot of the judges are just so like exhausted from the nonsense. Like, I can't believe y'all are in here for this. And I have to tell y'all how dumb, powerful people really just stick together and become best friends. Yeah. Yeah. Cause at the

end of the day, you don't want, you don't want anybody telling you the truth. So you just, at a certain point, you just need as many yes people around you or as many people who are in on the, you know, illusion, fake narrative that you're all going to live by and be like when Trump is hearing, well, these lawyers who are actually expensive, they realize what it would do to their reputations. They left. It's like, yeah, that's a sign that you're not you don't. But Rudy's like, get me in there man get me in coach i'll fucking tuck my shirt in in front of the judge and then he'll figure it out it's like what the fuck man yeah he's truly just willing to embarrass himself he's willing to be like um he i don't know he he feels like curly from like the three stooges like he wasn't in

the original lineup um but then they kept the show going and they got like a new dumb guy. Yeah. Yeah. It's it. And then conservative Twitter is really funny because as I was saying, other people were like, this is not good. What Rudy is saying right now.

You have people like Dinesh D'Souza, who's like, I'm waiting. We're all waiting for the mother of all bombs to drop, drop it. Sidney Powell and Rudy Giuliani. Have we gotten any, speaking of drops, who's like i'm waiting we're all waiting for the mother of all bombs to drop drop it sydney powell and rudy giuliani have we gotten any speaking of drops have we gotten any new q drops since the election or is q still keeping it keeping it close to the best about how stands for quiet

i'm working on it you guys geez yeah come on it doesn't seem like they have a couple things working against them. First of all, they started off after the election being like, we got to find our James Baker type, which is the sort of thing that you work your entire political career to develop a bullpen of these shady operators who can steal an election. And even if they had James Baker in this,

instead of the leftovers after Michael Cohen, who's an incompetent asshole, is gone, and they have the people who come in after that. Even if they had your James Bakers of the world, they still wouldn't be able to like that they lost in too many different ways in too many different states like they like even the good the best of the best rat fuckers would not be able to steal it i don't think yeah all right let's talk about what he's trying to do uh his final days as the president, because there's a New York Times report coming out that he is basically like entertaining military strike options on Iranian nuclear facilities. the walls were closing in and somehow pompeo and uh general mark milley managed to convince him

that was a bad idea but like that's where his head's at yeah they're like no no no they're like this is off the table this isn't realistic like you can't this no we don't have options right now because shit is so tense uh there's no way you can do that without completely you know the region going up and i think for for those that aren't up to speed right because it's all around the nuclear deal and all of this tension because he's like they've got more enriched iranian we got to do something you know what's sort of his motivation so in 2015 the obama biden administration reached a deal with iran about limiting its nuclear capabilities and part of that deal was like look you allow outside observers to come in to monitor your progress and

we'll lift those sanctions that are literally fucking killing your country that's the that's that's the deal then when trump came in he wanted to be bobby badass and be like oh you know the fuck i'm putting iran on alert on notice or whatever i remember there's like one of the first things he said as president, everyone's like, what the fuck is this guy talking about? And eventually pulled out of the Iran deal without really any reason aside from like, the black guy did it and I don't like it

and I'm here to reverse everything. So that's what happened. Right now they have substantially more enriched uranium than in 2015, but it's still not enough to make a single weapon. But he still like wants to do something. Like you, but it's still not enough to make a single weapon, but he still like wants to do something like you can tell there's still, he, I think realizes he was talking a lot of shit. He was being real hawkish about Iran. And all he managed to do was assassinate one of

their military leaders and which Iran has, I think pretty much still stated that they have yet to avenge his assassination. Uh, so that's another foreign policy thing to deal with but yeah it would have been something too for him to just cause a full-on international incident on his way out but i think a lot of the reasoning too that was coming or the resistance that was coming even from within his administration is that like look a lot of even the base doesn't isn't for increased military action in the middle east like that's not a thing your supporters clamor clamor for let alone the fucking world uh but i don't know that's these these are the kinds of things that was always making me unsettled about what these last 63 days or so are going to look like because he still is the president he still can do shit like this and i don't know like you

know at what point he goes like i don't give a fuck anymore i'm fucking flipping the table you know what i mean like what that looks like because this is you know this is like one of those moments where shit could have gotten absolutely out of control very quickly yeah i wonder which uh which one of his dictator friends he like promised to like start the ruckus with four on his way out i have no idea yeah i mean it's interesting because it seemed like his plan seems to be based totally around like which things are going to make the biggest splash in his base still like so bombing iran and also like pulling the troops out was another thing that he's talking about doing, like bringing all the troops home in his last 63 days.

So it's just like there's no coherent strategy beyond just owning the establishment. Yeah. And I mean, the foreign policy shit, it can be really tenuous, right? Because there's still an embassy in Baghdad, and you start, you know, fucking around with aggressors in that region that becomes a target. And, you know, you have Benghazi 2.0, which Republican, you know, like I could see them creating an environment where there's an attack on an embassy. And then during the Biden administration, they're like, well, what did you do to protect them? It's like, I don't know if you remember, Trump was fucking shaking that shit up on the way out and then the lack of transitional information put

people in a weird spot i don't know so i i i i hope that uh these cooler heads keep prevailing i'm really surprised mike pompeo was part of that group that said no considering his like fantasies of like the end times um and how you kind of need all of those like all those powers in that region fighting each other um but yeah it could have been putin too who's just like not not right now please just i'm i'm really i'm really tired i think i have to retire also so let's just let's just make this easy for everybody yeah have we heard anything else on that on putin possibly retiring it seems like that got deaded real quick but uh that could i mean i because he literally deads anything that

he doesn't want to exist yeah i mean this is a thing that i feel like people have been speculating for years because like at first it was like the way he was walking people were like what what is that like is he injured what's's going on? So who knows? The way he only scored 18 goals in that hockey exhibition with the Russian national team. People were like, oh, that's that's way down from his typical 33. not be doing is holding the president accountable with any sorts of investigations uh at least according to people familiar with biden's thinking heading into the transition he's thinking you know he's not gonna he's not gonna do any uh any investigations or at least that's not going to be something he prioritizes because he just wants to move forward and take the high road directly up his own asshole uh is where we're headed yeah it just seems like biden wants to do the thing

that is perceived as like the right thing in a bullet point statement on cnn um but it like from a long-term perspective this is creating a reality where the republican party does not need to follow rules and then the democrats come in and follow rules and are just like we got to move forward we got to let our nation heal from like whatever just happened because when obama came into office he you know there was all sorts of just horrifying malfeasance that the bush administration had done with regards to torture and his war on terror and the obama administration just moved forward and we're like we're all about healing we're not gonna you know yeah to hold trump accountable for stuff he would have to also hold democrats responsible for a lot of

the stuff uh that they also do so yeah yeah he doesn't want to create this slippery slope where people are um wanting better from their politicians yeah exactly holy shit it's uh wow i mean could you imagine like how is how is there any deterrence now for if you don't if you don't follow through on holding people accountable for the shit that's been going on like especially at this level yeah um you know this i can't even it's like if you're you you had like a babysitter or like you know and you they have your friends over and you fuck the house up oh shit the babysitter about to be here man like oh they're gonna fucking tell on us what the fuck and they come in and they just like you're

like bracing yourself for them to be like oh i'm fucking calling your parents they're about to fuck you up this shit is unacceptable and the the babysitters comes in and goes come on guys what oh really come on now you're better than this you're gonna be like oh i love this babysitter comes in and goes, come on, guys. What? Oh, really? Come on now. You're better than this. You're going to be like, oh, I love this babysitter because every time they come through, I can fuck around and they don't do shit. And actually, I am in control. And that's what if we're always beholden to the reactions of conservatives, there's not like that's that that power dynamic is how we're going to end up at the fucking bottom. Yeah, the high road doesn't work.

There's never been a time in my life where I've taken the high road and, um, felt happier about it. Um, revenge is good. We should embrace revenge, um, or avenging, um, as a country. Um, I truly think that, um, especially if only one side is doing is like the other side is holding people accountable or at least like trying to find a way to hold people accountable uh using their fucking doj as like a warhammer and then they're like just allowed to yeah the the in your babysitter analogy the babysitter then tells you to go to your friend's house while they clean up your mess.

Yeah. And then also, do you guys want any beer while I'm at the store? What? We're at the store getting cleaning supplies to clean up your fucking mess. Are you serious? Because, yeah, I can only imagine what some of these people in this cabinet are going to be doing. We'll get a lot of nice optic wins or things that are like, we're doing this,

this, and this, it's like, we're also, we got some really cool tax cuts coming for certain industries, you know, that's on the low. And you're going to have to really look at the tax code to figure that

out. It'll probably take you three months, but you know, that's the, that's the flow of things. And I really, like I said, even before when the election was happening,

I have, I still have so much anger about what this administration was allowed to do to vulnerable people in this country undisturbed yeah and if we don't actually show the people that were you know greatly affected by this administration that there is a party or people that are at the levers who are saying you know what i don't worry worry. I didn't remember. I didn't forget that shit. Cause I got something for them too about that. Cause that's not right.

That's not how I want to do things. That would, I think that would cause more healing, but this idea that we need to coddle people because we're afraid of, you know, holding them accountable. You're just going to be that parent who just has their kids like walking all over them.

And then years down the road, you're like, I don't understand why I don't have any control like self-control it's like it's not like i was oh yeah i was just encouraging it the whole time yeah there's still so many like apathy minded um people that i knew that when biden won um they kind of went to this kind of like oh well that's just how it goes it yings and it yangs like politics is always like this i told you it'll work out everything will be fine it's just like no just because things don't immediately affect you um and you don't you're not gonna have the cognizance to realize how bad

things have gotten until you're like too old to do something about it doesn't mean you're some kind of brain genius right um and we're overreacting to things we're not overreacting no we're not we're under america america is a moldy loaf of bread and right now the mold is on the black and brown parts yeah the crust people are like people inside they're like i don't see mold around me it's like well don't worry honey it's coming also for you this shit doesn't stop i love pretzels yeah but truly i mean like it's it really is like it's well it's only real to me if i can see it but uh trust if you if you read any amount of analysis about what the living conditions are

for people in the united states you can very clearly see there is an accelerated entropy. Things are rotting. And we have no way to stop it unless we really actually take shit seriously and be like, it's actually not just about what's happening to me. It's about the environment we're creating as a whole in this country, not just

in our little fucking bubbles. The mold is coming. It's coming. Yeah. And if the democratic party continues to be the the party of the establishment viewpoint of like corporate media and corporate politics which is like what they're kind of angling to be where they just are the establishment that the republican party attacks from the outside and then the left has to try to work within. And I think the left is going to stop trying to work within. Then the country is pretty fucked at that point. I think that's why a lot of people are like, don't fuck around.

If we're putting people in office office don't fuck up and just take things for granted because at a certain point you know people are gonna have to pack their shit up and be like well fuck it we don't need this party we'll just we'll just be a fucking thorn in the side because either way the both sides seem to be pulling for the same class of people yeah for me like when people say that they're like socially liberal, fiscally conservative, I'm just like, you mean a Democrat? Just be a Democrat. Right, right. Yeah, yeah.

Socially liberal, but yeah. Brody, to your point about the people who are like, I'm so smart that I'm telling you like, even though I believe in the same thing as you, like i have to tell you like how to like communicate that in a way that people are going to accept and like just speaking of like the american people as this like vague like conservative slash moderate like base of people that like you have to lie to in order to get them like on your side i just like that drives me fucking crazy especially as there's just more and more evidence every fucking day that that's not the case and that the thing that the american people object to is that they're being you they can tell they're being lied to and that you're just saying polite things to try and get them on your side, but then you're not willing to do the thing that would actually help them.

Yeah, I'm a cynic and like I always have been, but there's one thing I hate is definitely that kind of like baby's first like existentialism thing where people kind of get a little bit nihilist and they think that like well um uh politics has always been cynical politics has always been like me natured um and just like socially people just look out for their own selves and i think it's really time for us to as americans like reckon that we do have a culture and our culture is so much more um individualists than a lot of the

rest of the country or a lot of the rest of the country, or a lot of the rest of the planet, and we could do a lot better than what we're doing right now. Yeah. So we'll see. But then you're going to come up against the American ego, which goes, oh, we can do better? Are you fucking kidding me? We're number one. We're the freaking best, dude.

We're freaking number one, dude. You got the best light beer in the world. Yeah. Oh, have you had a truly seltzer okay yeah we can get we can do better than that fuck no whatever you do don't try to forgive people's student debt though because that will piss them off don't get me don't even get me started on that. I'm so. I'm Molly Shannon. I'm that comedian now. Don't get me started. Don't even get me started.

Don't even get me started. Am I right, ladies? It's, I mean, I just, the takes continue. I know we didn't really plan on talking about that, but everything I'm reading is so absurd about these attacks against canceling student debt. Like, oh man, like then no one's going to learn how to pay their bills

if you like start forgiving their debt ridiculous what the fuck are you talking about the people who already paid off their debt are gonna be so pissed that like these other people don't get it it's like that is purely an abstraction like that you have put together based on like your idea that everybody is like part of this like market capitalists like neoliberal bullshit viewpoint that like only you guys really subscribe to them like people are just going to be happy for each other yeah yeah the resentment comes from debt holders right yeah exactly yeah mike haplin tweeted yesterday um this this isn't the tweet I was going to talk about but he tweeted let's try and make it so everyone has

everything they need and then the counterpoint was but isn't it unfair to people who already have everything they need right yeah it's like the real reason canceling college that scares people is that like America's

economy is basically it depends on a series of like parasitic uh like middlemen industries that um they they're like in impeding like us being like a functional society and they don't want to just like disintegrate and um have us all realize that we don't need them at all right all these like insurance um private insurance industry people um like unnecessary like financial services um they just squeeze money from people exactly well because like it's because that's the deal is like hold on i see an opportunity to make some money there so i'm going to do that so now all these things that should be like rights that people have like a right to food or housing or health care and education there's always someone there to be hold on hold

on hold on we could be making more money off this before we start giving this shit away for free now how about we start our own college and then we'll and then we'll get people to pay us a lot more money fuck all this state shit and even then we can raise the prices and the and the tuitions on that shit too it's it is really sad to see yeah but you know like you look at any other country and people are always like what do you mean like it's people make money off of running a school like a university they're like they're wealthy or they're like what do you like doctors make like just millions and millions of dollars in some cases what huh these aren't rights oh you guys have a fucking hellscape of a country okay now it makes sense you gotta have that threat of death looming over your head or else you know that's gonna happen debt death uh not being able to

afford to feed your kids or take them well that's? That's the thing. I think that's one of the reasons why we never tackle the unhoused crisis that we have in this country because we need those people to keep people bought into capitalism. They'll be like, oh, what are you going to do? End up like that? You damn sure you're going to get on your bicycle and let me fucking make all this money off of you. You know what I mean? Because if there wasn't, that would begin to show a humane society.

Like, wait, hold on now. I don't have the same things that are stimulating me to keep buying into this really fucked up cycle of disempowering or giving my power away. All right, let's take a quick break. 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. 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.

unfolding and causing conservative people to um lose their minds uh that he did the benghazi movie uh and now he's doing a covid 19 movie uh while we are still in lockdown and the whole thing is about like an evil government that is coming and like using the threat of infection to like stomp on people's rights basically and like sweep them up into Q camps, which are quarantine camps. Yeah. So people are pointing out that it could be, could be seen as tone deaf and insensitive and asking Michael Bay to read the room.

He can't do that. He can't do any of those things. He makes movies about with very clear villains in them and then during making those movies he'll fire people for looking him in the eyes so yeah i think we're expecting too much of it the movie is set in 2024 uh and it the lead is hot archie from uh riverdale okay so that's cool um but yeah everyone is dealing with the covid 23 pandemic you thought covid 19 was bad no no it's called covid 23 this one's covid 23 is four more bro oh my god this one infects your brain there's also like wide

shots of the Santa Monica Pier looking with the Ferris wheel looking like a pizza with a couple slices taken out of it for some reason I guess the virus is eating our Ferris wheels or something well yeah famously people get angry at Ferris wheels when they have COVID

always and the wild thing is that like so they shot this in the quarantine like during it was the first movie to shoot in los angeles after lockdown uh and it's just so on the nose bad right they had a hard time like getting sag after uh to sign off on their uh plans they made a bunch of adjustments and finally it was like they made it seem like it was gonna be super locked down and like the healthiest place that you could possibly be uh and then anonymous crew members came out and were like yo it's not like that at all. It's not safe.

Nobody feels safe. It's bad. Oh. Yeah. So all around. It's not good. Please help me. Please, please.

He has COVID-23 vials already. He has the virus. It's not a joke, everyone. Please. he has the virus it's not a joke everyone please um also on that side of uh the national mindscape we also have parlor making making big moves uh after biden was declared the winner uh the parlor app shot up to number one on apple's App Store. Also, there was an app called Parler. So Parler, the bad one, is P-A-R-L-E-R. There was also an app

called P-A-R-L-O-R that was clearly being downloaded by people who didn't know how to spell Parler. Just very confused old people. I think it may actually be pronounced Par-lay. They're sticklers, if nothing else. Oh, yeah. They're sticklers.

If nothing else, cue conspiracy theorists or sticklers for French pronunciation. But John Tesh, I can't keep up with all the celebrities who are going full conservative. John Tesh apparently was trending on Twitter and not because he died, which I think a lot of people assumed it was because he tweeted, meet me over at parlor parlay.com at John Tesh and say goodbye to viciousness and censorship. John Tesh is a patron saint of the daily zeitgeist for his performance, his live performance of the NBA on NBC,

NBA on NBC theme. Oh, no. That is the way he writes. I got to stop listening to that. Well, it's just. No, no, no. There's like a clip. I guess I'll keep my sex playlist now.

Yeah. He had like a live concert where he was like, here's an interesting one. Actually, people don't know this, but I remember this is the actual voicemail i sent myself when i was um recording the song and it's like him singing it like into his phone it's it's kind of it's really out there but when you realize it's such an aggressive 90s sounding song that yeah it could only take somebody like hold on i gotta call my i gotta call my answering machine service now and go like, it was like, okay,

you really thought it's awesome. You're receiving a collect call from, would you like to accept? Nope. Never heard of them. John, I got it. And we saved some money.

The performance is amazing though, because he like does a fake basketball dribble that proves that he has never dribbled a basketball in his life. Stick to the right wing takes, John Tesh. Yeah. Yeah. One parlor user wrote there on parlor to show the world.

We won't let communists steal the white house. And as we learn more about Parler, we learn how it's funded. So there's no ads on Parler. It's actually just relying on right-wing investors like damn Bongino. All right. And?

Who? The Mercers. Of fucking course. You know them, you love them, folks. Yeah. In a parley which is what parlor calls its posts unfortunately a user with the handle

Rebecca Mercer and a yellow verified badge so they changed it up it's not blue anymore said she and John an apparent reference to parlor ceo john matsey started parlay to provide a neutral platform for free speech as our founders intended

and that is rebecca mercer so right right free speech which means still an arena that's set up by billionaires where they still control what the dialogue is yeah yeah as our founders intended okay that tracks yeah the terms of service are named parley do you think you'll meet in like 15 years oh no you just like warn your your children you're like if you meet someone named parley like find out what that's about before before you bring them home um the yeah like you were saying the community guidelines are less permissive than twitter's terms of service um they remove over here being like it's free speech they remove users regularly uh because it's a much smaller platform so they can just like actually like look over people's posts

and decide what they think about it can you post porn on it can i get verified no porn no pictures of dog shit uh there is a chance that we could get verified if we just decided to go full right wing um oh great yeah i think oh i'm just oh you only have to give your social security number okay that's that tracks yeah that's one of the things that they uh say in their terms of service you might be asked to provide your social security number um i mean if people can't even put their only fans on it um it's not gonna do well i mean look at tumblr yeah they took their explicit content off and now no one knows what tumblr is um people

listening to this don't even get this joke because no one knows it isn't no god how far we've fallen yeah um but yeah it's they say specifically they don't tolerate hate speech so it's just a an attempt to court i mean what are what are they going to monetize? They're going to monetize this with what? My pillow guy ads? Yeah, probably eventually ads from like the three corporations who would be interested in. Right. And like at some point, do any of these companies figure out they're like, man, our business is kind of tanking because we're so aligned with like this shitty right wing ideology that like we're actually putting people off from our product.

like this shitty right wing ideology that like we're actually putting people off from our product that isn't just you know racists who like that we're the one company who's willing to ignore racism publicly and privately embrace it yeah i bet they are not having that conversation uh would be my guess ah well good luck to them are the mccloskey's on there are they verified yet uh i almost definitely but i actually don't't know. I need to fact check that. Yeah, well, I don't think we'll. I'm surprised progressive leftist trolls haven't gone on there and just completely been like, all right, yeah, we're also on here talking about stuff that you don't want to see. Yeah, get the K-pop fans on there. Brody, it has been a pleasure as always having you where can people
