Hello the internet and welcome to this week trend edition of Dirt Island is Like Ice! Mustard! Mustard! And ketchup. Ah, shit. My name is Jack, that is Miles.

I'm not on TikTok, so I didn't know that I was stealing a mustard joke. No, I think anybody who heard the album, I think he's just the first person to be like, I'll make it a video. What if I'm the guy screaming mustard? Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, that's my shit Really stuck with me

Beauty of his shit though is like it's just the weirdest shit. It's not sometimes not even a bar It's like I don't know. I love the way say hey. Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey. Yeah, man I mean like I was broken for a year off of top of the morning top of of the morning, top of the morning, top of the morning, top of the morning, top of the morning. It is Jack and that is Miles. Yeah. And it is the week of Thanksgiving where and we are giving thanks for a Kendrick album. And yeah, big weekend for Broadway fans wicked. Yeah. Yeah wicked did wickedly well at the box office a baffo B.o Miles. Yeah. Yeah, it was packed

big news in the And the Jay Leno story the Jay Leno Face mystery needed low Low not really. So not really big. No, I wouldn't say we have a break in the case. The Internet thought they had a break in the case. But for me, the mystery only deepens. We'll get to all of that shit. OK, in a moment.

First, we like to let you get to know us a little bit better by telling you some stuff we think is underrated, some stuff we think is overrated. Miles, what is something that you, sir, think is underrated? Underrated a decent mall Santa. I don't mean like one that's like, you know, like a moral human being, but someone who who fucking embodies the fucking Santa. Okay. You don't care if they have a fucking gambling problem.

Hell, I don't give a fuck. They don't have to be decent as hell, man. As I honestly, you probably, my thing is I think to be a good Santa, you have to be a broken man. You gotta got demons, man. Oh yeah, because the way you like atone is to go be a mall Santa and be like, you know what? When I put this fucking pillow suit on, I make the kids smile and that'll, that'll make

up for the fact that I'm upside down on three Cybertruck loans. Look, I did some bad shit in my day. Yeah. They're like, what are those neck tattoos, don't ask. But yeah, I was at the mall with the guys child. And dude, this mall Santa, we didn't go to see the mall Santa. We were just walking through it.

We were like with some family, we were gonna go to the bowling alley Santa. We were just walking through, we were like with some family, we were gonna go to the bowling alley, and we walked by the Santa. This dude was like in between kids, so he was just kind of sitting like on paws basically, like in his Santa. Killing time. Yeah, and we just casually just walked by, and I was like, oh, look, there's Santa.

This dude locked onto the baby, and just was like waving, smiling, making the baby laugh. This fool is very shy with strangers. And the way he immediately was like waving back and I'm like, yes, and he's like, sat down, sat down, sat down, paid per wave. I guess I almost this motherfucker almost made me cry with the fucking he had such a twinkle in his goddamn eye. I could not believe it.

And then Her Majesty Wade was like, thank you, Santa. Like it felt like a movie where she's like, I know it's you. And Santa like was like waved back and like winked and I, I don't know, like melted all my cynicism for about 14 seconds. Did it make a little dink when he winked? No, it didn't, it didn't.

It didn't? No. Damn. That's how I know that shit was real. Yeah, I was gonna say, Miles, little speaker just replaced your memory of the weekend with a Hallmark movie again But yeah, it sounds like this time. It's real and I had long blonde wavy hair and washboard abs. I remember it It's just the week that you wear every time you leave the house Yeah, but it's just like wild to actually cuz I'm so cynical on Santa and shit But like this motherfucker shout out to you, bro. You fucking killed it

You fucking killed it standing ovation for you. I love the idea of a man a Grown man with children being cynical on Santa. Yeah I don't believe that shit at all. It felt like yeah, dude It feels like a fucking holiday movie where it's like my whole life. I was never one of these Santa kids until at 40 years old, 40 years old, I saw some dude at the mall completely flip my shit. Yeah, your mom and dad are going to say there's real Santa. Next thing you're going to see fucking home alone and see that there's a guy with a fake beard. It's like a six year old's ripping butts. That's me. Yeah. Next thing you're

going to read Polar Express and say that it's subjective and it's a matter of what you believe fucked you up the goodwill Don't listen your parents what they talk about they talk about none All right, my underrated is letting a 12 year old boy write a movie, um, which is what I have to assume happened with the film of the beekeeper, uh, a movie I watched on the flight, uh, to see my parents. Uh, I'm in, I'm out of state. I'm in Florida and the capital of America, the capital of America, America's a new capital, the bee beekeeper great plane movie

So the good guys motivated to kill people because those people are mean to grandparents. Wait, I'm sorry What is oh is this that statham movie? Yeah the statham beekeeper. Oh for a second I was thinking like a key line the bee type. No, no, no, no kids movie Yeah, like 12 year old I guess me as a 12 year old when I had like, yeah, yeah. Die hard and all. I can't like, if I tried to write die hard as a 12 year old, this is what. Okay. So you can't be mean to grandparents. You can't like that. Yeah. There are people who are mean to grandparents. Uh, the grandpa. It's so wild. The, the movie opens with like him.

He's he's a beekeeper for an old woman, Felicia Rashad, uh, and Mrs. Huxtable herself. And Claire, these people, uh, steal her money. They like hack her. And she's just confused cause she's like, ah, with computers. And then she just fucking blows her brains out with a gun. Oh my God. They just find her because like she got cleaned out, which is wild.

Anyways, he's motivated to kill people because they're mean to grandparents. Like that's their whole thing is like we got to fucking drain these olds. The bad guy ends up being not the president, but the president's spoiled son. What? He's like a bo-biden type shit. Yeah, exactly. He won't use guns on people who are shooting at him, but like it's never established, really. I mean, I watched this like in and out of sleep, so maybe it is established, but it feels like it's just like because, yeah, why would like just Batman rules?

Right. And also he. But it's not like he's doing it in a kind Like out of kindness. He kills them in like far more brutal and horrifying ways Singers are cut off people are like tied to cars that are then just like it is a little bit like the Santa skit in I think you should leave where it's just oh Wanted violence I like the Santa skit in I think you should leave. Where is this? Oh, just want to violence. I also have suspect the producers were like make a B movie like B movie and the 12 year old only realized what they were talking about halfway through because it like doesn't really make sense that he's a beekeeper like.

Is it just like his cover story is like a hit band kind of thing? Beekeeper? Yes. But like Beekeeper is a code name for like the worst, best assassins that the CIA has access to. But also he's retired one of those. But then the thing he does in retirement is being a literal beekeeper who like then who then puts like bee metaphors on everything. They're like worried he's trying to target the main bad guy because something

with like Queens giving birth to defective offspring said they think like the main bad guy is son of the president as established. And they're like, he's going to go after the president because the queen it's the queen's fault. If there's a defective drone in the, like this fucking heavy labored metaphor that I honestly just think they were like, make a B movie, they came back with this draft

and they were like, no, but fine. But yeah, it's just, it's that genre of movies like with the equalizer, have you seen those, the Denzel Washington movies? Like where a guy walks into a room yeah and like just the room is full of like nine people with machine guns and you know they're all gonna die in like different creative ways somehow they're all not shooting simultaneously to kill the guy yeah and I'll wait my turn to get my neck broken yeah yeah and

like they're yeah it's always like he's like, hey, drops his gun. He's like, I just I'm about to kill you, but I'm going to make it fair. He's like, I'll give you all a head start. Yeah, I'll count down from 10. And they're like, what? And then just start smacking me. Yeah, OK. I like those. It kind of like fucked me out.

I think whoever wrote the movie has like a jumping through glass windows fetish, which I suppose like all 12 year olds sort of have, but so many people dive through and are thrown through pain, glass windows and doors that like, then I was walking through the Miami airport and there was like a situation where we were stopped at a glass door and I was just like, man, I should take one of these metal dividers and smash through that glass wall. I think you're like, what if I just throw my ass through this thing? Yeah, like truly.

Like, yeah. Then you would just dust off some candy glass off your shoulder and be. Yeah. But highly recommend Bkeeper as a as a plane movie and also just not overthinking your plane, your plane. Did your kids like it? Yeah, they were big fans. Yeah, cool. They're like, you're like, please check this out.

How do you use that guy's jawbone to kill the other guy? That was crazy. Why does everything have to be so scary? What, what's something you think's overrated, Miles? I'm with you, okay, so. Modern nursery rhymes, I gotta say, because like the new bangers from people like Miss Rachel and Miss Houston, they gave the black Miss Rachel are they're just like easy melodies that are tolerable by parents.

We're like, oh, yeah, it's like a fun thing. But I just heard like an ancient white people nursery rhyme that I had never heard before and it fucking blew me away. The catacombs? From my fucking family. In-laws. This is all through in-laws and shit. Cultural exchange moment. Okay, do you know the one see saw knock at the door? No. So not all of us are this. Do ancient ancient white people's nursery rhymes. Apparently this is popular. So this is how I heard it. The version that they do it is see, saw, knock at the door.

Who's their grandpa? What do you want? A bottle of wine. Hey, get out of here, you're drunk. And that's it. That's it. That's the fucking nursery rhyme. But you just kind of play with the baby, like holding their arms and kind of like mimicking seesaw motions or like like you're doing like a two man saw.

And I was like, what the fuck is this? What does this even mean? We see a knock at the door. Who's their grandpa? What do you want? A bottle of wine. Get out of here, you drunk. I get the feeling that this was not passed down to me because I come from a long line of drunks who found it offensive.

So why should we get out of here? The original is called like seesaw something, seesaw marjorie da or whatever. It's from like the 18th century in England. Marjorie da. It goes, the original is see saw knock at the door Who's their grandpa? What do you want a bottle of beer? Where's your money in my pocket? Where's your pocket in my pants? Where's your pants? I left them home get out of here

What that's it's got a one-line? That the guys not wearing any pants. I'm like, yo, what kind of fucking song is this? A Mike Tyson video interview reveal? This shit I'm seeing with Mr. Rachel is like red, orange, yellow, green, like that kind of shit. This one is about like some pantsless drunk is hitting up a bunch of kids who are playing on the street and hits them up for beer. And it's your grandpa, but also these kids clearly are them boys because they're out here transacting. If the first response to someone be like, Hey, let me get a, like, let me get a thing

is where's your money at. Right. Right. I'm like, what is this situation? Like you're the grandkids are like bottle running as children, Rick running cover, like on the playground, like the wire, like they playing catch with that tennis ball. Like what is, what is this?

It just blew my mind. And I just didn't, the stuff like I heard in Japanese is like about an elephant and like, Oh wow. Your nose is so long, Mr. Elephant. Like, so was my mom. Yeah. This was like, this is said in a world where like heroin like tieing off, wake him up, hit him with Narcan. I'm like, what is this shit?

Seesaw like I'm assuming that's like he's like waving back and forth like, no, apparently it was like a thing. I would say as they were on a seesaw. OK, that's how the song that's why seesaw is in it. But again, this is like evolved in menu as I can. Let me know if you all have versions of this thing, too, because apparently like this isn, this is like evolved in many. As I can let me know if y'all have versions of this thing, too, because apparently like this isn't this is like a known thing. I just never heard of this shit before. I thought it was so funny.

It just paints such a bleak image of what life was like, where it was just a common thing for old men to show up at a house, try to be like, hey, it's your grandpa. What do you want? They might believe it or they might not. But also, like the way to score booze at the time was to just go and try and pay children to steal booze from their parents. Right. Yeah.

But you got no money, though, because you got no money. You got no pants. Yeah. Get out of here. You got no pants. Yeah Get out of here. It ends with get out I just like either way it ends with abruptly being like just get just fuck off man. Yeah, I can drunk Yeah, the fuck out of here Shut up seesaw Marjorie. Yeah, I Don't usually have like some feeling that I'm, you know, the reincarnated song on the new Kendrick album where you're talking about past lives.

Like this one actually resonates with me. Yeah. You know, this is like I can I've been there. I've been in this place where you're going door to door, trying to trick children into giving you a bottle of a bottle of beer. You're saying you're saying you're there. It's grandpa. It's grandpa kid. All right, what's yours like believable because nobody's grandparents lived to be to be Like I've never seen my grandpa sure might as well be you Give me a bottle of beer. All right, my overrated athletes doing the Trump dance

I Alright, my overrated athletes doing the Trump dance. Oh boy. Oh boy. I heard that Nick Bosa, who is like a famous, like the only openly MAGA guy in the NFL, was doing this in a recent game. But like when you look at the clip, it's like his teammates start doing it, and then they're like, come on,

do the thing that you always do. And then he starts doing it, but they like encourage him because they're like, come on, do the thing that you always do. And then he starts doing it, but they like encourage him because they're like buddies. And, um, I, I was hoping that was it, but there's apparently like Christian Polisic or did it after as an American soccer player. They're tearing him up on the internet. They're calling him, uh, Diego Maga, Donna and, an NRA Mar for doing that stupid shit yeah there's a

MMA guy which I guess like I feel like it'd be rare for an MMA fighter not to be a Trump supporter but right there just seems to be this moment where like I don't know I'm hearing people like even comedians are like who I don't think are like Trump supporters will be like Hey, you gotta admit Trump is funny, which I guess in some ways like he's funny to laugh at but then there's like this undercurrent even like in the mainstream media where it just feels like He's been normalized and they're like people think Trump's funny and we shouldn't take all this so seriously. Which I don't know. I feel like if the guy's dancing to it,

I think we should just, let's turn our bodies into a red carpet for fascism and let it roll on in. Okay, cool. I don't know. I feel like it's gonna look bad in the documentaries in 20 to 30 years. Oh, hell yeah.

Looking back on this shit. Yeah, of course, of course to 30. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Of course, of course. But these people have no context. And I'm sure even for the teammates of Nick Bosa or boss or whatever, it's their money kind of keeps them in a different headspace where they're like, yeah, this is kind of fun. Sure. It's my teammate. It's my man. Come after me. I'm 40.

Anyways, those are some things we think's underrated, overrated. Let's take a quick break. We'll come back and talk about the news. Who's there, grandpa? You might know me from my popular online series, The Running Interview Show, where I run with celebrities, athletes, entrepreneurs, and more. After those runs, the conversations keep going.

I remember. And then tonight I'm going to listen to it again. Now that like most people have lyrics up that I can read along and just kind of use my reading and listening comprehension simultaneous. But I really like it. I just like that. He's just he's he's rapid and he's even like letting you know He's like this isn't like mr. Morale type stuff. It's very poppy. It sounds great It's yeah, and I love the GNX of it all too. Like his whole thing is like I think it's in Is it in TV off?

Yeah, when he starts off saying all I ever wanted was a black Grand National fuck being rational give him what they asked for like the whole thing of like this the Grand National fuck being rational, give them what they ask for. Like the whole thing of like this, the Grand National is such a OG, like West Coast, like just a car car, like a hood car. And he's not on some Lamborghini Ferrari shit. He's like, let's get back to it. And like you hear a lot of the anecdotes about how he wanted just some like West Coast bouncy kind of stuff. And it delivers on that.

So I'm yeah, I really like it. And a lot of stuff feels evolutionarily like downstream of Tupac. That I really enjoyed. So, yeah, I'm I'm I'm liking it. Yeah, me too. I do I do love the weird moments, but I feel like those just stand out. The first couple of listens through and the rest of it is good. I feel like a Kendrick album.

It's always like about the sixth listen through. I'm like, OK, this is actually my favorite song. But yeah, they all they all have my favorite song. Yeah, I do think it's a loser shit that he's not after a Lambo. Get get on your grind. Yeah, Kendrick, come on. It should be called a rock on, but it's not. Right. All right.

We have an update kind of on the Jay Leno theory. Is it the mob? Is it a death wish? I'm so I'm so confused. So the most important news story in America right now, clearly the mystery of what happened to Jay Leno's fucked up face. One person on the Pittsburgh subreddit has offered a straightforward explanation that does not involve mafia violence or clandestine Pennsylvanian Illuminati ceremonies.

Okay. Unfortunately, it also doesn't involve making the thing make more sense. Oh no, okay. So his theory, Inside Edition, aired footage of the wrong hill. If you watch the Inside Edition report that came out the day after,

they showed a hill next to the Hampton Inn, is that what it is? That is like not, it doesn't really look like a hill. It doesn't have a restaurant on the other side of it. And this person basically, I guess you should always be a little wary when someone on Reddit refers to their own journalism and their journalism is just searching something

on Google Maps and then circling it in MS Paint. Hey, that's journalism, man. Based on what we're seeing now, I did my own journalism too with Google Maps. Yeah. So, they got it wrong. There's more information. There's a fan flicked it up with Leno at a CVS,

which is between these restaurants and the hotel, where he looked even more fucked up than I've seen him look before. Oh, god. Also, the owner of the local restaurant where he looked like even more fucked up than I've seen him look before. Oh God. Also, like the owner of the local restaurant that he supposedly went to, which is a sports bar, was like, Jay Leno did not come in here. And then the owner of a restaurant that is not downhill

from the hotel was like, no, he came here right after the ass whooping, whatever the ass whooping was. So people are like, all right, so either his story completely falls apart or the owner of one restaurant is lying and saying Leno was there to like sell more chicken parm. And then the owner of the sports bar is lying to like cover, cover up that Leno was actually there? So, okay, so what we do know is he went to a CVS that was near the sports bar. That's where he bought the eye patch

and that's where he flicked it up with the fan. But then it's after that that we don't know. It's presumed that he hit the CVS first and then went to Dine after maybe, potentially. That is the theory. And then we have two places, one who said he wasn't here and the other saying yes he was here. But it's further out.

The one that's saying he wasn't there was next to the sports bar that he allegedly didn't go into. And yeah. Wow. I don't know. Like it just, also the main thing that is kind of strange to me is that the hill they're pointing to is

Tiny it's like yeah much smaller than the one that I had in mind Yeah, he said it was 60 feet and he hit lots of rocks on the way down and it's just like a grassy No, there have been a lot of grassy no jokes And also the new picture of him in CVS Looks far more fucked up than like what I'd seen before like the one where like his half his face is purple it just looks like he has like weird purple makeup on half his face but this one is just like he looks like that eye is blacked out. Yeah, it's like a black guy like Popeye would get after being socked by Bluto. It looked like, yeah, he caught like a line drive off a softball straight to his eye. Yeah, straight movie black eye. Yeah, yeah, 100%.

Got punched in the face by the Hulk. Cut to. You're like, it can't be just black paint on your eye like a dog's eye spot, is it? Like, no, no, that kinda is what it looks like. Yeah, so I'm back on board with the Illuminati shit. I think there's more going on here than anybody cares to admit. Welcome home, Jack. Welcome home.

The Black Eye Club. Yeah. I mean, what they, yeah, what they talking about? They talking about nothing. What they talking about? They don't. I can't even say what they talking about. They talk about nothing. I had to rely on all my trumpet playing, double tonguing and triple tonguing skills. What they talking about?

What they talking about? What they talking about? What they talking about? What they talking about? What they talking about? What they talking about? What they talking about? What they talking about? What they talking about? This starts falling apart like on you like fuck, fuck, fuck. Anyway, good for, well, now I'm, it's that hill though.

That's what makes it even harder to believe is that hill is not, he describes it 60 to 70 feet. Even if you're like from the parking lot to the top, straight vertically, that maybe looks like 25 feet. And I know there's rise versus run. describes it 60 to 70 feet, even if you're like from the parking lot to the top straight vertically that maybe looks like 25 feet. And I know there's rise versus run if you're talking all geometry. So maybe that thing is a little bit, but come on. I don't know. I don't know. Yeah. It just seems, it seems, it's also a grassy hill. And he's like, I hit like five

rocks on the way down. It's like each one hitting your left eye. Someone go and take a photo right now. Put on some way down. It's like each one hitting your left eye. Someone go and take a photo right now. Put on some hockey gear. This internet research is not getting it done. Go. I think we need to go, Jack. Fuck it. I know we probably should do a tour.

But yeah, we'll be like, yo, y'all, let's all meet at the Hampton Inn over here and just, let's figure this out together. Sorry, babe, I know I was supposed to be home for Thanksgiving, but duty calls. Yeah, Brian the editor is right. Yes, we are picturing Homer falling into the gorge. It is, yeah.

Well, no, I'm not picturing that. I feel like that is what Jay Leno was picturing when he came up with his excuse. Is Homer falling into the gorge? Just as easily, he he goes he takes one step He's wearing some like weird leather sold shoe goes whoop and then his first impact is face Smashing into something and then going down. I've done this excuse before like yeah, I've and it was not true We need CCTV footage on my eye

You know that is that is in fact not what happened, but that is what I told work. What good is all this surveillance if we can't even get video of Jay Leno getting tanked up by some mafia people? What is the fucking point? Yeah, just pulled into a white van. That's how I would feel safer, if you wanna push the whole safety issue about something like,

well, then let's find the people who attack Jay Leno. That's the only way I'll feel safe, because. Yeah. Yeah. I'm a camera truth or until I see that Jay Leno getting beaten up by the mob. I don't care. I don't care. Let's talk about Matt Gates. He's this is another one that feels like there's something going on here that beyond what I understand, maybe not, but he, so he went from being the presumed,

presumptive attorney general nominee to being on Cameo charging $500 a video in two days. Two days, he went from being the nominee It was announced actually no longer the nominee and now he is selling birthday greetings on the same app as Greg from Dharma And Greg which no shade to Greg Honest work if you can get it. What's that guy even called? Greg from Dharma and Greg. Yeah, what was his name? That's what he's called. Oh Greg from Dharma and Greg. Yeah, okay was his name? That's what he's called. Oh, Greg from Dharma and Greg. Yeah. OK, cool. Thomas Gibson. Oh, boy. Tommy Gibbs. Tommy.

His bio does he went to Juilliard? You went to Juilliard to be fucking Greg from Dharma and Greg, dude. What the fuck? I mean, oh, man. All right. Sorry. Sitcom money in the 90s. You know, I know that shit was Yeah, my uncle what worked as the first director on Dharma Greg, so I should I'm gonna shut the fuck up now So his bio does note that his nomination didn't work out and that he once fired the house speaker

Seems like he's missing a couple details there. Dude, this reads like a shitty, hinged dating profile. I served in Congress, Trump nominated me to be U.S. Attorney General, parentheses. That didn't work out once I fired the House Speaker. It sounds like, for people I know are on dating apps, like you wanna come up with this snappy shit and you're like, served in Congress, could've been AG, fired the fucking Speaker. Yeah. Yeah also

I'm kind of like a fucking bad guy anyway Bad guy no like really bad like you should be children away from me. I'm like literally yeah straight-up monster I'm a piece of shit. I saw some headline this weekend. I was like Matt Gates's bad boy Reputation finally catches up to him. I was like bad boy like did he? Yeah I was gonna say. Right. That's the only context where you're...

Yeah yeah. Sex crim. You're alluding to something much larger and more nefarious. Cameo encourages people hiring Gaetz to get creative with your request. Which seems like a risky suggestion but yeah just in case you're wondering how pathetic the videos are he congratulated one lawyer on becoming partner while admitting that his legal career took a bit of a different turn this last week oh god hey tara it's Matt Gates. Your friend Jordan wanted to send.

Yo, what's with his eyes? Is he fucking high relations for making partner at your law firm? Everyone's super proud of you. And look, I know your politics in mind. I'm not. I don't. I cannot get past his half open eyes. Also, there he was about to be like, I know your politics and mine don't exactly line up. So this is like a Democrat,

like sending this to their friend as like a funny. So this is like the Trump dance. It's like, ah, get it. It's fun. It's funny in the end. Yeah. Line specifically, but you know. Because, you know, like, I guess the,

there's a thing called statutory rape. And for me, I just call it's a thing called statutory rape and for me I just call it being a player but Anyway, congrats or whatever. Yeah yikes yikes yikes Yeah, that makes sense. I guess You got one request to seemingly order predator strikes on his enemies, which is Funny mainly because he keeps saying the word predator over and over again. I'm assuming that that just slipped by his internal sensor. Yeah. Yeah. But yeah,

he's following in the proud footsteps of Rudy Giuliani, George Santos. But like he doesn't need the money. Like he, his dad has an estimated fortune of 35 million dollars His brother-in-law co-founded. What's it called? Isn't like Palmer Lucky. He's the guy who like me. Oh Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He has a bunch of money So I don't it like I really he went to cameo like it was part of a playbook You know, yeah, like it was part of a playbook. You know? Like it was like, all right, so first thing you're gonna need to do

and then now that you've been fired from the job, you've dreamed of your whole life before you even got a chance to like get interviewed for it. So first step, rehab, image rehab, go to Cameo and start doing birthday messages where they try and trick you into saying incriminating shit. Saying predator, predator, predator over. Or you just get enough that you can just frank

and bite the words around it and be like, hi, it's Matt Gaetz. I'm a prolific predator and you should be warned. Stay away from me because I am a predator. Yeah, I mean, it makes sense more in the sense like you're never gonna make the most money on Cameo unless you do it right away. So I I get that part unless you're some kind of like you know cult TV like character go showing up there but also like it's just

I for me it just strikes me as this place where like attention-starved narcissists go to like just get that last couple hits of dopamine for being recognized and you know it's basically I feel like it's the website version of to just get that last couple hits of dopamine from being recognized. And it's basically, I feel like it's the website version of that pickup truck in Boogie Nights where Dirk Jiggler hops in on New Year's Eve and plays a game of faster harder just to get something happening again.

But it takes a while for him to fall that far, you know? Yeah, yeah. Like, I don't know. I think that there's the other thing too is it probably helps with your relevance too because now all the talk is like, what's he gonna pivot to? Like could he take Rubio's Senate seat?

Is he maybe gonna run for DeSantis's like governorship? Who knows? And maybe this is a way to be like, hey, I'm here, I'm here, I'm here. I'm still Matt Gaetz. Like let's, maybe it's better that the stories are about the cameos than talking about the fact that he's all these like sex trafficking allegations against him.

For the Dirk Diggler metaphor, it would be like if the first bad thing that happened in Dirk Diggler's career, he just like sprinted to that car with a big smile on his face and started jacking off proudly right away. Next day, after his first movie like flops. There's still a few steps here Sorry, this is a lot more about me than anything All right, let's take a quick break and we'll be back to talk about wicked Hey Bo, hey Matt, can you believe we have a whole bunch of wicked episodes coming up?

And Wicked did really well at the box office over the weekend. Gladiator 2 came in below domestic box office expectations, but still gladiator 2 did below. It did $65 million domestically. And I think they were saying 61, but it was still like a big, it was Ridley Scott's biggest opening ever, I think. And globally, because it had been released last week, it's already like made its money back.

It's like 200 something million. Cool. Although I think production budget was 250 million. Jesus Christ. It's a marketing budget. So I don't know if it's in the clear just yet, but yeah, yeah, yeah, it'll be alright if they Was like the best weekend for the box office of the year or you know with with those two combined I think it's like ten years since they had since this kind of money had been made in a Thanksgiving

Festive yeah, yeah some headline. Yeah. Yeah. And this was the best that a movie had ever done. Wicked was the best a movie had ever done over the holiday weekend. I'll say this, that mall, the same mall where I saw Santa, there's a movie theater there. Yeah. Motherfuckers were fucking all, they were all trying to get into that movie theater. Like, it definitely felt, I remember we were there like, what the fuck's going on? We're like, oh, it's gladiator and wicked.

That's what's happening, yeah. It really goes against a couple trends that we'd been seeing. One is like origin story. You know, that hasn't traditionally done well. Like find out how the wicked witch got those flying monkeys. Like not that that was the pitch on the surface.

Uh, and the other was like openly just being like, yeah, we're a fucking musical, like yes, we can't do anything about that. Come watch our musical. We're one of the most beloved musicals. So like we ain't got to do much here. We all just cultural. Yeah. Like even if you haven't, even if you aren't up on wicked, you've like

heard people raving about wicked You're like curious about and like it's a pretty straightforward Premise of like what if the wicked witch was the main character? Yeah, so I get why I did well I I Think my favorite thing that I saw this weekend was also related to Wicked. And that was the interview. I think it must've happened a couple weeks ago, but it was in line with the release of Wicked. And it was Cynthia Revo and Ariana Grande

doing an interview without magazine where the interviewer was like, people are holding space for, um, what the gravity was, the gravity, the fine gravity, um, and the reaction. I, we, we should just play the audio. It's if you haven't seen it, it's, we'll have it in the footnotes for you to check out. I've seen, um, this week people are taking the lyrics of define gravity and really

holding space with that and feeling power in that. I didn't know that that was happening. I've seen it, yeah. That's really powerful. That's why I wanted it. Mm-hmm. The finger grab.

All right, I'm gonna run the altar. She's doing a little flute solo on her index finger. I don't know how widespread, but you know, I am in queer media, so that's my deal. That's pretty cool. What are people, I mean, like, I get that the whole cadence of this conversation is like very odd too, and it feels like, oh, mm, mm. Yeah. Yes, it's very whispery.

The shock by her being like, wow, I can't believe they're holding space, but it's like such a vague term, I feel like, is part of the fun Ariana Grande wordlessly being there and basically reacting how I would act if someone sitting next to me was just informed that their dad blew up in like a turkey fryer accident. She's just like holds her hand like, would just grab my index finger for you.

But she just she reaches out. We grab your index finger. But then starts doing like a little little tick. Yeah, there's like an ASMR aspect to it. I think the vague nature of the phrase people are holding space for and the fact that the response is that is exactly what I was hoping for. The interviewer then pulling the rug out and being like, I've seen a couple posts saying that which is just such an honest thing to say to a celebrity after blowing them away

with a compliment being like, two posts I've seen. All right. I didn't. Yeah. If I got to expand on that, like I think I saw it somewhere. I might have dreamed it seen. All right. I didn't. Yeah. If I got to expand on that, like I think I saw it somewhere. I might have dreamed it up. All right.

Well, that's so funny. It does make a little bit more sense when you know that it was the interview happened two days after the election. And so she was saying like, you know, this week as everyone is going through hell, I've seen multiple queer people say they're identifying with getting strength from the message of that song at an extremely trying time. And then it like makes a little more sense.

I still do stand by it as a great piece of media. I'm just thinking of that Piccolo solo that Ariana Grande is ripping on her index finger. I can hear the Piccolo in Stars and Stripes forever at the very end of it, yeah. The other version of this headline I've seen is like, Glick, it fails to reach Barbenheimer Heights. Shut the fuck up.

That shit was going to happen. I don't know who. Who cares? Hollywood, you just made a bunch of fucking money off of your movies that That is recycled IP. So great. Aren't you happy? Can't you ever be happy?

But they're like, oh, but it wasn't like when God created Earth. It's like, what do you mean, dude? That's such a weird bar. Like it's mythical. It's bars. You're fine. You made your money. Go ahead. Yeah, they're just not the same. I think it's the fact that one is a musical

that makes it really difficult because that already like that energizes people in a very, very specific way and also has people being like, no, no, no, man. Like if it's, if y'all are out here being like, it's a musical, like some people are just not into that. But hey, whatever. It ain't Barbenheimer and that's okay.

That's okay, Hollywood. And like, I feel like, do you feel like a lot of the success of Barbenheimer was people being like, I'm doing the Barbenheimer challenge. Yeah, cause it was stupid. You know, like. You think people really like were driving, cause I went to see both those movies

because I wanted to see both those movies. Did you see them back to back though? You did a double feature. No, I did not. That's what I mean. And I guess a lot of people movies. Did you see them back to back though? You did a double feature? No, I did not. That's what I mean. And I guess a lot of people did, right? That was like the mythology though, where that people were going to go do the Barbenheimer. Like an extra value meal of movies.

Yeah. And like remember, because we were even like, which one would you see first? Like, do you do an Oppenheimer Amuse Bouche and then you bring it up with Barbie? You just, like, what's the order? And I think that's what got people really into the idea that this could potentially be a double feature that people were gonna do. Yeah. Rather than like two movies that you'd wanna see coming out on the same weekend, which is like fine.

That used to happen like in the heyday of the late 90s. Right, right. Two good movies? How do we smash their names together? Badly, it turns out. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And finally, Marjorie Taylor Greene is talking about what she's gonna do

to fix government spending. Oh, what she's gonna do. It includes cutting back on toilets and sex apps. Oh, that'll show them. Yeah. Cutting power. Recently reported that'll show them. Yeah. Cutting out. Reasonably reported that she will be working directly with the new Doge, the government efficiency

crypto promotions department run by Elon Musk and Vivek. She went on Fox News on Sunday to explain what she has in mind for trimming government spending and it included defunding NPR, which standard, you know, standard right wing talk. Do you know how much this is? Guys, at least do some basic research like on how any of this works,

because I know you want to say, oh, man, fuck NPR, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. The dude that we've gone through this before. to say, oh man, fuck NPR, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Dude, we've gone through this before. It's like at most 5% of their budget comes from the federal government. Yeah. So I guess that's one of those things where a lot of the shit they're saying, like whether it's related to like mass deportation things,

it's things that you want to say out loud and you're like, yeah, and then we're gonna do that. But then on the other hand, you have like the entire farming industry. Like you're going to cause a food crisis if you like deport a bunch of people. That's happening. Are you guys serious?

Do you understand any of this? You just like to say this wacky shit out loud. And that's kind of like we're still in that phase a little bit. I don't know what ends up happening. But again, the NPR thing, I feel like we've talked about like every couple of years when they talk about this shit, it's like, what they talk about, they talk about, what they talk about, they talk about none.

Exactly. That's what we always say when they talk about NPR. That's what that song is about, actually. They whisper about none. Which by the way, the effect, if they defunded NPR, they lost 5% of their, NPR lost 5% of their budget, how would they manage to apologetically both sides things and act like they felt terrible

about their liberal bias that doesn't exist? Yeah, the Gates Foundation will come in with an extra couple million and they'll be fine. But again, I like, I get it, because the way they always describe it is like, all they're doing is spitting Democrat propaganda. We gotta, blah, blah you know, I get it because the way they always described it was like, no, all they're doing is spinning Democrat propaganda. And we got to... Right. Marjorie Taylor Greene also talked about getting rid of toilets in Africa, sex apps in Malaysia.

The toilets in Africa is just, you know, a reference to USAID funding for sanitation programs in Africa that reduce the spread of disease and bring clean water to communities in need. So obviously she's going to be against that because of white supremacy. And then the sex app thing is a reference to an NIH grant for an app that aims to reduce the spread of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections. But also the Pentagon, she said. Oh, just broadly? Cool. Yeah. Come on, what you got. Oh, just broadly? Cool.

Yeah. Come on, what you got for him, Marge? What do you got for him? She said, I want to talk to people at the Pentagon, ask them why they can't find billions of dollars every single year and why they failed their audit. Which anytime she wants to do that work, that would be great.

Maybe like a chance of a heart attack gun getting in the picture Not anything that I would say that I'm hoping for in any way, but I'm just saying it's the Pentagon Also cutting off funding for any sanctuary cities. She said which that one actually is a little bit worrying That would be 600 cities that meet the definition and that is a thing that Trump wanted to do frequently and was ignored in his first administration because he didn't think he was gonna get elected. So he had to hire everybody last minute

and just hired people with job experience working in the federal government. And so they were all like, no. When he was like, yeah, we should cut off funding to California during the wildfires. So yeah, cutting federal funding to any city that didn't like cooperate with his agenda would be like, I think that's something he's going to be doing in this second administration. Oh yeah.

And even Homan, his, you know, lead deporter is doing is echoing all that. They're like, they don't want to get in line and we'll take their money away. But we also kind of need some of the state's money to help prop up some of the other states who aren't kicking in as much to federal. And we'll get into that. We'll get into that when we're in office. The only thing that makes me feel good about any of that is that they have, instead of people who are actually experienced operators in the federal government, they have dipshits like Marjorie Taylor Greene and, you know.

Well, this is the thing about Doge, right? It's not a fucking government agency. It's a weird fucking group project that they're like, yeah, yeah, yeah, go do your group project and we'll create a little subcommittee under the house oversight. Like the way that Elon Musk and Vivek and all these people are, they're talking as if they're like,

you better watch out, cause when I see this thing I don't like, it's gonna go poof. Guess what asshole, it won't, because you have no fucking power, you're not an appointee. What they can do is make their suggestions and then have those people potentially go through the

actual actions and motions of trying to get regulations taken down or cut spending. But they themselves do not wield some kind of fantastic cost-cutting magic wand that they think they do. They're merely going to be like, here's our report. Do you like what it says? Okay, boy, I tried. The Pentagon sees, knock at the Pentagon sees not get their doors there grandpa. Great. Yeah. So like, listen, how they talk about like this op ed that they

put out just describing their work. They said that Doge will work with quote, legal experts embedded in government agencies who are aided by advanced technology. That's how they would basically like that's how they're going to get to the technology. That's how they would basically, that's how they're gonna get to the bottom of this. And they would use the list that they put together to quote, immediately pause enforcement of targeted regulations and initiate the process for review and rescission of them.

It's all just like, it's so, it's like fantasy speak. And it's so convoluted. Yeah, I feel like they're picturing the organization from the born identity. They're like, we're going to embed our use legal entities that are embedded in the government and have information and data collection abilities. Enhance, enhance, enhance. And we will use that advanced technologies.

I mean, like there's plenty that they, you know, like hiring freezes would be much more damaging to like, you know, like bureaucracies than whatever the fuck these guys are going to suggest. But whatever this is, you know, it's time for them to be the boogeymen that they are pretend they want to be and have everybody go like, Ooh, but yeah, it's definitely they're going to be saying a lot of stupid stuff. That is for sure. But yeah, at's definitely gonna they're gonna be saying a lot of stupid stuff That is for sure. But yeah at the moment I'm just like I don't I'm not can you can we be a little bit clear on how this all works because you have no Mandate either and Trump barely does either when you look at the popular vote.
