Cause people were like, Oh, how about some soft cheese and Melba toast? Now we just have our, you know our advanced charcuterie platter. So it's a cracker.
Starting point is 00:02:48 But it's just a... It's like the way that Band-Aid and Kleenex overtook their respective products and became what we called those, even if it wasn't that brand. Melba toast was trying to do that with crackers and they failed. Nice try, assholes. Yeah. I guess

Starting point is 00:06:59 But they were like, you know, there's that song Apple Bottom Jeans. I did. We already did Low. The Apple Dummy. What an idiot. That's why I brought it up, because I wanted them to feel stupid. I could have swore I did the Apple Bottom Jeans. Yeah, you did the Low, Low, Low.

Anyways, Miles, we are thrilled to be joined in our third seat by a hilarious comedian and the creator and co-host of the interruption show where she and a co-host interrupt comedian sets if you're in la she's doing an hour at junior high la at 8 p.m on friday it is the brilliant and talented dahlia mallory Hello! Hello! How you been? Good! Do you think that Malibu Toast deserves a holiday? This is the thing we've learned.
Starting point is 00:07:52 Most of these holidays don't deserve recognition, but there is like a website you basically lobby to put it on their list. Because there are other days today I just didn't even miss. One is National Near Miss Day. Wow. Like, huh? A near miss. That one came close to being mentioned on our show.
Starting point is 00:08:12 Oh, you know what they say? It's because a near miss of a massive asteroid, 4581 Asclepius, nearly hit us in 1989. Damn. So that's why we celebrate. But yeah, I don't know. Do you ever eat Melbitos, Dahlia? I am hearing about this for the first time today but it looks bad i'm a fan of crackers but this doesn't look good this is british is this a british cracker no i think it's uh from from
Starting point is 00:08:37 france possibly chef auguste escofier of the Savoy created Melba Toast. He named it after Dame Nellie Melba. The stage name of Australian opera singer Helen Porter Mitchell, I believe. Helen Porter Mitchell. Is that correct? That's absolutely correct, mate. It does feel like an evolutionary version, like an early evolutionary version of Kragers. It's like what people created and then somebody was like, what if these were better?
Starting point is 00:09:06 But yeah, I mean, it's just like, they're like the cinder blocks of like appetizer trays. These kinds of crackers. That's all it is. Like, you know,
Starting point is 00:09:14 this is like the kind of thing is like, Oh, try this dip on here. And someone was like a tray pass situation. But it's like, gang hit us up. If there, if there's some,
Starting point is 00:09:22 you know, creation that needs Melba toast to work. If, if there's a dip that only works with Melba Toast, cannot work with crackers or chips, let us know. Let us know. And be ridiculed. Yeah. And be ridiculed because I will not believe you. Dahlia, what's new with you other than finding out about Melba Toast and having your world fucking rocked. I've just been playing video games, man. I'm not much. Yeah, what'd you play?
Starting point is 00:09:54 Guacamelee. Also a dip-based Guacamelee. It's like, it takes place in the Mexiverse and you're like this luchador who, I don't know. It's amazing. It's kind of old. I just bought it because it was on sale. I didn't hear about it just now. It's been around. I'm playing the sequel
Starting point is 00:10:15 number two from four years ago or something. I like that. A Metroidvania action platforming video game. There's a lot of puns in it right but that's what i look for in my entertainment as many puns as i can stick in my uh in my brain that's the beauty well that's the beauty of like those smaller like like non tentpole games that come out is like they're typically a lot more witty because they're
Starting point is 00:10:44 not trying to be so broad and i'm like oh these people are fucking smart because they're not just trying to be like shoot guy with brown skin war game right all right we are going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment first we're going to tell our listeners a couple of things we're talking about we do still have those midterms coming up. So we're going to check in with a couple races. We have there's a particularly, I don't know, surreal race Senate race happening in Ohio. I think this is like kind of a given that a Republican will win. And it's to replace a Republican. Right. Yeah. And the so this is the one that J.D. Vance of hillbilly elegy fame came through and was like, I no longer don't like Trump. I like him. And also the hillbillies that I wrote a book about treating like they were a foreign species deserving of liberal scorn. Now I am one of them. So that's what this race has been mostly noted for to this point. But a fistfight almost broke out at the debate. They wanted you to think a fistfight was going to break out. But I've been like, I've never seen.
Starting point is 00:12:01 They won the award for people least likely to throw hands award so it was between josh mandel and mike gibbons and it it's it's a very weird sort of wwe if it were play acted by grown men at a business conference like type thing that but it's almost like a new art form that i have not seen before where these men who have only seen the people they're trying to pretend to be like at a at a great distance on cnn during trump rallies like try try for that cred and fail so we're gonna talk about We're going to talk about a Democratic primary in Pennsylvania. Going to get messy. Between Conor Lamb and Lieutenant Governor John Fetterman.
Starting point is 00:12:54 Yeah. I don't know. I'm Team Fetterman. He seems cool. Actually, he doesn't seem that cool. You like to pull guns on unarmed black men? Right. That's the thing.
Starting point is 00:13:04 I was saying he seems cool in some respects. That one kind of a misstep there, John. A misstep. A bit of a misstep there. And it is officially Christmas for a conspiracy theorist because Joseph Biden, Brandon, has called for a new world order. This is a phrase, a phrasing that has been stuck in his brain for his entire, like, you know, since he was in his 60s, 70s. Loves to talk about new world order. Of course, that has special meaning to the conspiracy theory community. So we'll talk about that. All of that, plenty more. But first, Dally, we do like to ask our guests, what is something from
Starting point is 00:13:45 your search history the last thing i googled was stained like the band oh hell yeah i feel like i google stained like five times a year but apparently their front man was in the news recently for saying something controversial and i was like which one was that again yo wait which you're saying which band well the band is stained like s-t-a-i-n-d right right is that what's their song is it it's not been a while oh it has been a while it's been a while i just did that as a aka very recently. Oh, really? Since I ate cold spaghetti-os. I was Christy on Gucci, man. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:31 Wait, what'd they say? So Aaron Lewis is the guy, I guess. He's the main Stained, one of the Stains. The main Stain. He was saying we should maybe listen to what Vladimir Putinimir putin is saying i don't know why we're listening to stained for foreign policy but i just saw people on twitter talking about it and i was like which one is stained again like did he actually have some kind of nuanced take or was he just doing the i don't know man the shows i watch are all supporting putin right now so i'm
Starting point is 00:15:02 just gonna hop in on that well he was people were calling him a conspiracy theorist. So I was trying to figure out why that was. And he was saying like, why are we supposed to protect Ukraine? And what's, what did they do? Like, I'm not really sure what his take was supposed to be. Oh no, his take is as bad as we all thought it would be just reading his politics section on his wikipedia big trumper loves the maga cap oh yeah he hates vaccines he hates mask mandates okay and then this is like i think what you're talking about is this thing he said at a concert that quote maybe we should listen to what vladimir putin is is saying expressing his belief that putin was fighting quote the deep state. Oh, boy.
Starting point is 00:15:47 So there it is. I mean, I wonder how many people that's their first time hearing about Stained. Right. Probably the vast, vast majority of people under the age of 40, right?
Starting point is 00:16:02 Who don't know Stained? Yeah. Or maybe under the age of 35 i think 30 i think we can cut under 30 okay i think you were born in like 92 where were you in 92 if you weren't born yet then you probably don't know who stained is yeah he looks like a guitar teacher basically but it's it's just kind of wild that this is what has become of that guy he's a very specific looking guy and yeah we're fucked this is it neck tat you know always three days four days growth of beard but he's uh he's he's gone he's gone. He's gone down that long road towards an ideology that says that if he started a podcast
Starting point is 00:16:49 it would immediately be bigger than this one. Oh, he was on Tucker. This guy's killing it, man. It's been a while since I read a book. Since I thought for myself. It's been a while since I read a book. Since I thought for myself. It's been a while.
Starting point is 00:17:09 All right. So are you a fan or you just kind of saw that headline and were like, which is the stained? I just wanted to know what the people were talking about. But I was like, I know stained. I remember their contribution to the arts. Yeah. Was your first reaction disappointment?
Starting point is 00:17:26 Or were you like, yeah, that tracks I mean, look at him, have you seen him? I think it tracks Until I saw him, just based on how I love Just the shitpost-y nature It's been a while That I was like, maybe that guy's on the right side of the universe But nah, nevermind
Starting point is 00:17:41 Yeah, okay, I remember what they used to look like too one of my friends was tweeting that the only stained song he knows is a creed song i was like that makes sense right a lot of yalling what's something dally what's something you think is overrated hang on sorry i wrote this on a sticky note what is my top out of all of these things i put basil um the basil um i think i was just mad when i was thinking about this i was mad at my plant basil if you're listening to this fuck you yeah i just repotted my basil and it like started dying and i was like it was like all my other plants are just like thriving right now but basil's like oh no change oh no transplant shock nobody needs you basil nobody likes pesto anyway wow i know i mean i don't hate it i don't love it i know people who love pesto i know people
Starting point is 00:18:41 her majesty i'm sorry i might take shots of you uh my love but uh my partner know people her majesty i'm sorry i'm not taking shots at you uh my love but uh my partner my wife her majesty blood type is pesto damn that that also assumes that she listens to the podcast which she doesn't she doesn't she doesn't you said that you said that like someone who's confident that their wife listens to the podcast but it will get back to her because we know this because i'll call her yeah this recording. Yeah, well, you're texting her right now. I just got a text from her. She said, what the fuck you saying on me? Jack just texted me about me like, fuck.
Starting point is 00:19:12 I'm assuming you grow it because you do like it occasionally as a food. You just don't like its delicate constitution. Is that kind of where we're at? Well, it's actually, it's like a really horny plant. Like, it grows really well, but it's just my plant right now is not doing so great. So I think I was just thinking about what's overrated.
Starting point is 00:19:30 And I put basil down because I was like personally angry at my plant. Every time I've bought like living basil at like a farmer's market or something, like you can plant this, you know, so you can actually keep growing it. I fuck that shit up every time and it never grows. So like I kind of felt you in that first part. I'm like, did you buy some shit that someone told you you could plant it and then it will grow abundantly i grew it from seeds i like a god i raised it from seedlings and it was doing great and then like it was just the moving it to another pot are you fighting your dog right
Starting point is 00:19:58 now my dogs are like fighting with each other right here next to the microphone i heard their i heard their nails on the floor i thought it was my dog outside my door i can't remember if i had my second dog the last time i was on this but they're they love to do this when i'm trying to like record something or have a phone call i don't know how loud that is but i'm very sorry that's fine and look it adds texture it gives us environmental, you know, nuance. So, yeah, the listeners love dogs. And it gets our listeners to stand up and go check outside their doors to see if their dogs are running around. Which they, you know, they need the stretch your legs?
Starting point is 00:20:39 Yeah. Question mark? Reminder on their phone every once in a while? Wait, that's a reminder you get? That's a reminder. Oh, that's a reminder you get? That's a reminder. Oh, that's from Aura. My Aura ring. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 00:20:49 Aura is like, hey, maybe stretch your legs a bit. Hey, hey, you slovenly fuck. Get off your ass a little bit. What is, Dahlia, what's something you think is underrated? I'm going to recommend an app. There's this app called Radio Garden that I found out about a year ago.
Starting point is 00:21:09 It just shows you this image of the world and you can turn it around on your phone or on your browser or whatever and just choose to listen to different radio stations that are playing live all over the world. I just think it's the coolest thing on the internet because I have insomnia so sometimes i'm just like up like
Starting point is 00:21:30 what's going on in norway right now right and um like you're sandra bullock in gravity you're just like pointing to a place on earth and communing with yeah that's fucking rules that's the coolest thing amazing i've discovered so much music that's new to me that way and it kind of blows my mind because i don't know just living in america i feel like we don't hear about a lot of stuff that's happening in the rest of the world and i'm like oh this like i found this song that came out a year ago and it has like 400 million views on youtube and it's like gotten all these awards and stuff and i never heard of it and i was just like this is like this is what the kids listen to and i didn't know about it because i'm over here with this like cultural hegemony like we're listening to the same three things so it's i don't know it just
Starting point is 00:22:20 uh it's crazy i have this like existential crisis sometimes i'm like i found this singer who like died like years ago and she has like she's from argentina and she has like six latin grammys and stuff and her name is mercedes sosa and like i'd never heard of her i'm sure a lot of people have but i like i have no reason to have come across her before. So it's just like all these different musicians around the world are just killing it. And I have no idea. That reminds me of this app that I used to really love back in the day called Radio that had like five O's after it. And it used to be a free app. But now they because like music labels are like, hey, you need to pay us if you're going to stream these songs.
Starting point is 00:23:01 It was a map of the world. You picked a decade from 1900 up until now you picked if you like slow fast or weird music and you just clicked on a random country and they're like this is what was popping in thailand in 1976 oh that's so cool and it's always music it's not it's not just like a weird talk radio no no it's music it's like it's meant to it's meant to like expand your musical palette to just be like okay i want to know you know what italian disco was like or romanian pop or whatever but i love but i'm i'm like the same way when i see things that like offer me that kind of depth
Starting point is 00:23:37 i'm like just everything i want to know in my veins now yeah is there any curation on radio garden like do when you point to florida with the most exotic place i can think of is it like going to just put you on a like music station automatically or do you have to like kind of search the dial and make sure you're not just listening to the 49 jesus speeches being given in between each music station in certain parts of Florida. I'm not sure how they get, I think they have to have some kind of internet presence and then I'm guessing it shows where the station is located.
Starting point is 00:24:20 So there are all these like dots that you can choose and that's like the station. So it's whatever is live right now yeah so yeah it's i don't know if you can see this but it looks like that so you just like damn that's dead it's like fucking yeah that looks like a cia application that's just like yeah here that's that's dope as fuck though that this is something like i want to zeitgang we we mentioned poetry you guys hit us up with a couple of dope poems hit us with like other apps like this this gives me like renewed hope that one day the only good app will not still be Shazam, as we've talked about before.
Starting point is 00:25:08 The only app that solved a problem people had is still Shazam. But what are the apps? This is a great underrated. Thank you so much, Dahlia, for bringing it to our attention. This with Shazam is my favorite thing. Yeah. Yeah, I know. I was just thinking about pairing those up and finding some new artists. Did you do the shortcut on your phone to double tap the back for Shazam? Still haven't figured it out, but you know what?
Starting point is 00:25:35 I know we were making fun of it, like, this game changing shortcut on the iPhone. I'm like, that shit now, I'm like, quick draw Shazammer. Wow. So you were able to do it, huh? Yeah, yeah. It's very easy. There's no, like, you know, three tests of strength that you have to pass to, like, unlock this party.
Starting point is 00:25:53 It's just in settings. Okay. All right. Yeah. I've spent a couple hours on it. I'll send you a real easy flow chart. Yeah. That would be helpful.
Starting point is 00:26:04 Yes. All right. I'll send you a real easy, real easy flow chart. Yeah, that would be helpful. Yes. All right.

Starting point is 00:28:25 This wasn't just a new game. Atari promised $150,000 in prizes to four finalists. But the prizes disappeared. And what started as a video game promotion became one of the most controversial moments in 80s pop culture. I just don't believe they exist. That would be my reaction, shock and awe. That sword was amazing.
Starting point is 00:28:47 It was so beautiful. I'm Jamie Loftus. Join me this spring for The Legend of Sword Quest, a podcast about the fall of Atari and the disappearing Sword Quest prizes. We'll follow the quest for lost treasure across four decades. It's almost like a metaphor for the industry

Starting point is 00:29:18 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
Starting point is 00:29:35 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.
Starting point is 00:29:59 The story of one strange and violent summer. This is Rip Current. Available now with new episodes every Thursday. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. And it's time to check in
Starting point is 00:30:23 with the wonderful world of state politics. So, as you mentioned up top, the GOP has a hot one going in Ohio. So this is to fill a empty Senate seat. I believe these are the two frontrunners. They are. They were not popular at the thing. There was like a straw poll after the debate where Josh Mandel, not everybody's favorite candidate from that, but they are like in broader polling, the frontrunners. And yeah,
Starting point is 00:30:59 Miles, give us the tale of the tape. What went down? Well, on one side, you have have mike gibbons who's just like you're just you know like gop senate hopeful from like the early aughts like shit out of a machine when you're like yeah right private sector business yeah like newt gingrich looking yeah and then you have josh mandel who's like you know served uh like a couple tours in iraq but the thing that like sort of put him on the map initially was because trump didn't want to like didn't want to endorse him or like get involved with him he's like many people have said that trump has quote called him a charisma free weirdo and dork which i'm like
Starting point is 00:31:38 oh okay that's uh fucking interesting and this is according to multiple sources who have been like, yeah, Trump has this weird thing about Josh Mandel, like always talking about his charisma or he's weird or asking about his personal life. So this is one of the quotes that they gave to the Daily Beast, like an insider quote. The former president has used the term fucking weird to describe Josh Mandel more than once when I have spoken to him about it. Josh Mandel more than once when I have spoken to him about it. One of the people said he goes on to say, quote, he asked her he has talked about Mandel and sex in the same sentence more times than I would have liked to hear, which I'm assuming is more than once. But based on the way that people talk around Trump and like all the horrifying things about him within the Republican Party, I'm assuming it's more like in the 20s. Yeah. Well, and they say the horrifying things about him within the republican party i'm assuming it's more like in the 20s yeah well and they say trump always talks about wild shit people's sex lives
Starting point is 00:32:31 like always prying or just bringing up like absolutely inappropriate things that aren't relevant at all even to his like racist gang of politicians are like i don't know if i care about that part so much as bringing white nationalism to normalizing that here. So anyway, Mandel has made like a lot of waves because he's we realize he has to embrace the MAGA world. This is what we've seen from everybody. Right. It's like I got to fucking hug this radioactive dump site to be able to ascend the heights of government. And especially like with the Christian elements, Mandel is Jewish. And a lot of like supporters and especially like with the christian elements mandela's jewish and a lot of like supporters and other like observers and like jewish outlets have been like this guy is like
Starting point is 00:33:09 now kicking it with like anti-semitic conspiracy theorists theorists like in an attempt to like cozy up to maga world and they're just like this is all kinds of weird so that's the whole backdrop of this dude and mike gibbons which brings us to last friday when they participated in a debate and again gibbons did the thing traditional gop got him like this guy's got no private sector experience he's not a working he's not a job creator like that kind of shit dude mandel goes off and here's the sound, just check this out because this guy is a real aggro cool guy. We should probably describe what's happening because it's a very boring goes off. I'll say that.
Starting point is 00:33:56 His version of going off is like a focus group told him that he should act tougher and like something short-circuited in his brain and made his legs stand up he certainly got the note about projecting that actual shit because maybe he took that note a little too far so uh here's a little snippet i can file that with the federal elections commission you have stock in chinese petro i personally didn't buy the stock you made me talk slow as gibbons i don't think i made millions off of anything i'd love mandel sitting down chinese petro uh first of all shanghai shenda buying buying a second you may not understand this because you know you don't i do you've never been in the sector in your They're both standing face to face, like inches between their noses, but both standing like they have a pole up their ass. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:02 Even the moderator is even like sad he's like all right come on guys like none of you are about this life and this is a this is actually a debate for people looking to get the nomination for his senate race but right this this goes on again because mike gibbons now he's in his like boomer bag and he's like you're not you don't you don't you don't scare me little kid tough guy and this is when it starts to get a little bit hotter. Never. That'll happen. Never.
Starting point is 00:35:28 Watch. Watch. We'll square the way with the wrong dude. You're dealing with the wrong guy. You watch what happens. You watch what happens. Wait, who said that? That's Josh Mandel.
Starting point is 00:35:40 You want to hear it one more time when he says, you don't want to deal with me. You watch what happens. You watch what happens. So that's what went down. And meanwhile, you're going to hear, I think in the clip, you do hear J.D. Vance be like, come on, guys. Right here. All right, guys. Well, J.D. Vance has been standing to the side. And then he also got the focus group note that you should stand up
Starting point is 00:36:06 yes like so he stands up at the end for a moment and is like geez guys and then sits back down god damn it yeah i mean look a little light homophobia in a in a senate primary race it means everyone wins i guess but But yeah, what's funny is after the fact, Gibbons spokespeople denied that Josh Mandel had hit him with that just calling him out like that. And it's just weird. It's like, oh, huh.
Starting point is 00:36:37 Wait, they denied? I don't know if you said that. I don't know what their strategizing is on that. Maybe because voters would be like, oh, what, you can't handle some words, Snowflake? But that's kind of the state of that race at the moment. So you have your choice, Ohio. Just overtook Mandel in polling, apparently.
Starting point is 00:36:57 And so this is like kind of a wild swing from Mandel to be like, I could beat him in a fight. Does that appeal to you the old guy like you don't look that tough squaring up to mike gibbons you know what i mean but i guess in these races that are just about projecting as much masculine energy as possible that's that's what it calls for the jd vance thing is extra extra cringy and surreal to watch. If you just watch any YouTube clips of him going from talking during the Trump administration, being the mainstream media's favorite person who expert medium to the other side, with the other being like poor white people and like trump supporters and just was always so unfailingly condescending and dismissive and now he is like trying to like trying that costume on and like goes around to campaign stops and like old beat-up cincinnati bangles sweatshirts that like he had to get at a thrift store.
Starting point is 00:38:05 Like he bought on eBay for 400 bucks. Yeah. And like, there are these articles where his like close friends from like Yale law school are just like, it's really weird. We still talk to him and like, everything's cool.
Starting point is 00:38:20 Then you look at him out there and like, it's so yucky. It seems to be the general vibe it's wild what the pursuit of power does to people yeah i think he's in fourth by the way in the race jd yeah well it's almost it's almost like people saw you flip-flop so hardcore as like a never trumper to like maga wannabe and they're like oh god jd just please sit down everyone sit down there's an interview with him after or no it wasn't after this but it was like after the cincinnati inquirer was like jd vance please drop out of the race for like everyone's sanity it's like really embarrassing
Starting point is 00:38:59 to watch you bro and then two weeks later like his people like sent enough letters or like wielded enough power like he's jd man is like highly supported by the powers that be because he's like you know the prince who was promised for you know being a middle-of-the-road conservative who was technically willing at one point to stand up to trump but he he like now goes down to mar-a-lago to like meet with trump and they're like all these like attack ads that are like jd vance once said this about donald trump and just like playing like reams of him like he's a scumbag right the exact opposite shit of what he is running on now and he's like like, well, you know, I spoke to President Trump last week and he's not going to support anyone in this race, which I think goes back to the Mandel thing. I'm
Starting point is 00:39:52 sure he just went down there and was like, Mandel's a weirdo, huh? And like waited for Trump to go off. And that was like, all right, we can be cool. My backers will will forgive me for being so bad at this because he's not going to endorse Mandel. But anyways, we'll we'll see. We'll see what happens in that race. Meanwhile, on the Democratic side, we got Conor Lamb, the lieutenant governor, John Fetterman. Conor Lamb was a favorite of the mainstream media when he won. He's a Democratic. the mainstream media when he won uh he's a democratic it so he won he was uh he won a senate race before or now no house race because he was you know the blue wave had right in pennsylvania like yeah red to blue red to blue yeah yeah and then and then also fetterman like
Starting point is 00:40:40 came to prominence like i'm not on a national level in 2018 also and he's just he's the big tall bald guy with the goatee right yeah exactly it looks just like uh sons of anarchy extra right but that's his like that's just his vibe and people love his you know tough as nails sort of attitude and he's dude he what fetterman is like has a very very substantial lead at the moment or at least since this recording and i don't think that's shifted much. But, you know, probably because his policies aren't just like middle of the road, totally just like, I am a Democrat and I like Joseph Biden. Vote for me. He's, you know, he's saying like he's really passionate about minimum wage, like legalizing
Starting point is 00:41:22 weed. You know, he was like openly embracing LGBTQ rights and like flying LGBTQ flags, like at a time when there was just like rampant homophobia around him. And he's also been like, fuck the filibuster. Like, we got to get shit done. And, you know, most people are like, yeah, those are all problems we need to address. I think, or at least you think most sort of, I don't know. I mean, I don't know how all the people who are registered Democrats are voting, but, you know, those aren't
Starting point is 00:41:49 necessarily the hottest policy takes from him. And, you know, and I guess that's why he's enjoying this lead. But now Conor Lamb is trying to find a way to differentiate in this race. So his strategy seems like something out of like the 90s where it's just to be like this guy's a socialist because politico got like this document from his like you know i think one of the groups working with his campaign talking about how are we gonna differentiate because we gotta let this guy we gotta let the people know that this fetterman progressive candidate is progressive so let's do that this is how this document reads quote from politico quote the document highlights the testing of aggressive negative messaging against federman
Starting point is 00:42:31 who is pennsylvania's lieutenant governor including that he is quote a dangerous radical who proudly calls himself a socialist or quote supports far-left policies like a 34 trillion dollar government takeover of health care and has spoken or in quote has spoken at defund the police rallies and wants to release convicted felons back onto our streets i mean they make it sound like that first of all he is not about defunding the police and it's just it doesn't seem like the best strategy considering this guy's already been in a statewide race like not a district specific race he's he's holding statewide office running on a very similar platform so what's
Starting point is 00:43:12 like how is this exactly going to work steven robinson at wonkette pointed out that like if anything it's weird that they're not talking about the fact that in 2013 he pulled a gun on an unarmed black jogger when he was the mayor of this town in pennsylvania and federman has had to like answer for that or explain that in past campaigns a lot of people have tried to been like what's what about that thing and he's like it was a mistake uh that even the guy the guy who he pulled the gun on when they asked him for comment he's like no i think fed i think federman be the senator. He's like one mistake shouldn't ruin his whole career. And I'm like, you sound like someone from who has a house of cards. Yeah. Like that. That Doug from House of Cards visited to get him to say the right thing. But anyway, that's all to say just so much energy swirling around these primaries at the moment. at the moment yeah the 90sness of lamb like that's what i think that's where a lot of the energy the the reason that i've heard his name you know there were in the blue wave there were a lot of people
Starting point is 00:44:13 who won and turned around you know won republican seats but he was the furthest to the right and it you know that that supports the whole idea that like the only way for Democrats to win is triangulation and like 90s Clintonianism and just listen to the swamp snake. And that's why they're so weird to see them be confused like this guy's killing it with this progressive thing, which is we've been all taught to stay away from that crap. Right. But it's like, dude, if your attacks are the same as like what tucker carlson would say about somebody like you're not you'll read the room full yeah or if they're the same as what his campaign ads say which are like his policies that help people yeah but yeah so uh you know that there's also like in this race in third is like a state representative of Malcolm Kenyatta, who a lot of people are like, that's probably people look at him to maybe give give him a look.
Starting point is 00:45:11 But again, I think Fetterman's just like statewide appeal. And I think just for like the massive donor networks that look at these Senate races, they're looking at like, oh, yeah, the guy who was like talking all that shit to Trump. Yeah. Yeah. This is good. Give him the money. Let's go. All right. Let's take a quick break and we'll come back and talk about, I think, one of Miles's favorite subjects, Dally. I'm sure it's true of you, too. The New World Order. We can't get Miles to stop talking about the New World Order. So open your eyes. Can't get enough of it. Realize, realize, realize. Realize, dude.

In 1982, Atari players had one thing on their minds, Atari players had one thing on their minds.
Starting point is 00:48:04 Sword Quest. This wasn't just a new game. Atari promised $150,000 in prizes to four finalists. But the prizes disappeared. And what started as a video game promotion became one of the most controversial moments in 80s pop culture. I just don't believe they exist. My reaction, shock and awe. That sword was amazing. It was so beautiful. I'm don't believe they exist. My reaction, shock and awe. That sword was amazing.
Starting point is 00:48:26 It was so beautiful. I'm Jamie Loftus. Join me this spring for The Legend of Sword Quest, a podcast about the fall of Atari and the disappearing Sword Quest prizes.

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
Starting point is 00:49:11 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.
Starting point is 00:49:39 The story of one strange and violent summer. This is Rip Current, available now with new episodes every Thursday. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. And, all right. So, as if,
Starting point is 00:50:04 this opening paragraph from Jam, I'm just going to read it as he wrote as if he had stocking youtube conspiracy videos this week joe biden was part of a business roundtable and claimed that america has quote established a liberal world order and now quote there's going to be a new world order out there, which only could have pleased right wing conspiracists more if you'd followed it up with. Isn't that right? JFK Jr. Just swept his arm to the right as JFK Jr. Speaking of which, you know, those the people in Dallas who are waiting for JFK to come back.
Starting point is 00:50:44 Yeah, that group is completely like disintegrating. waiting for JFK to come back? Yeah. That group is completely disintegrating. There's a write-up in place about it. Yeah. They're split off into factions. Some are armed and kind of threatening each other. It's getting really fucking weird. Anyway. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:58 You said the magic word today, JFK Jr. I don't know. Like, I think I would know better than to talk about starting a new world order just generally. And I am and we'll have to double check this, but I am not the president of the United States. So and even I feel like I would be a little bit more careful than that. But I mean, I don't know know unless you're talking about like the, that wrestling crew from WCW NWO new world order. Right. That might get with Hulk Hogan.
Starting point is 00:51:32 He was part of that. And I think that maybe that's maybe that appeals to certain voters, but yeah, that, that seems like a pretty charged phrase. Um, but yeah, I don't,
Starting point is 00:51:44 I look again, I'm not the president because i'd probably give a fuck about poor people so yeah do your thing joseph is he just thinking is he just hearkening back just this old tired terminology he's like i just i just love this phrase lead the world in a democratic direction a new order of things or how how do you say, a new world order. But yeah, Dally, I mean, you showed us the Illuminati tattoo. What are your thoughts on this? I'm just like, who's writing his speeches? Who made him say that?
Starting point is 00:52:15 And I'm just wondering if it was a choice he made. Like, did he exercise any critical thought? I know they're not good. Right. They're not good at anything, but. He's a, it's always an adventure when he's thinking on his feet. any critical thought. I know they're not good. They're not good at anything. It's always an adventure when he's thinking on his feet. Can you imagine a Veep episode
Starting point is 00:52:32 where he's prepping for this round table and he's like, yeah, in a new world order, Mr. President, you probably should stay away from that phrase. Alright, I gotcha, I gotcha. And he says it and everyone's like, fuck. In a new world order. You can tell that he's improvising a bit because all right, I got you, I got you. And he says it and everyone's like, fuck. Right. New World Order. You can tell that he's improvising a bit
Starting point is 00:52:48 because the phrase is, there's going to be a New World Order out there. Out there. The out there feels like out where? What are you talking about? This feels like you're just kind of riffing with the buddies. Out there, man. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:04 There's going to be a New World Order out man. Yeah. In the streets, you know. Out there. Yeah. But yeah, so I mean, for people who aren't familiar, New World Order is a famous conspiracy, usually about a shadowy gang of globalists controlling the world. It's a somewhat malleable theory that can be about the Illuminati or, believe it or not, still the Freemasons. Or if you want some anti-Semitism
Starting point is 00:53:27 it always comes back to anti-Semitism it always comes back to that shit yeah anti-Semitic conspiracy theorists have placed Jews at the center of this cabal more times like even if you're talking to somebody who's talking about the Freemasons just keep them talking long enough and it's going to get back to yeah you know judy holly hollywood in quotes or george soros yeah soros hollywood and then yeah the it's it's been going on i one of the sources says like since the 1990s but you know the the illuminati and all that shit i guess new world order as a phrase has been since the 1990s but this is this goes back like deep into the 20th century right and usually it's
Starting point is 00:54:12 a hodgepodge of liberal villains such as george soros as miles said the clintons bill gates would be great if the clintons didn't pretend to be acting in the interest of people while promoting the policies that benefit the richest one percent in the world like that's that's one of the problems is like when you're making fun of people being like the clintons or the head of the new world order and all these bullshit conspiracies and you're like yeah but they do like actually you you know, institute policies that are like pro-business and pro-the-wealthiest 1% of people in America. So they're, but anyways, that tends to not be what people are talking about when they talk about this.
Starting point is 00:54:55 But over on InfoWars, it is, it's Christmas. They are fucking psyched. Is he actually just being like, I told you! The globalists! Well, I mean, look, this is all I feel like everybody, you're just describing, like, just a form of malignant capitalism that you're observing, but it's easier to just be
Starting point is 00:55:16 like, and they're all working together against me. It's not greed, it's this thing called the New World Order, because if we get too close to actually identifying the issue. Yeah. I mean, who doesn't love a good swap in, swap out boogeyman concept to keep people from properly analyzing what's happening around them? their favorite plays. But yeah, so on InfoWars, the headline, Internet flips over Biden saying New World Order is coming. But then the article itself was just a compilation of memes congratulating Alex Jones for being right. I love that for him. So some other quotes, New World Order trended on Twitter overnight. Yes, President Biden was speaking in code. Yes, he will lead the new world order. Yes, you will bend your knee. Bow down before Biden's America,
Starting point is 00:56:11 wrote one person on Twitter. I believe with all my heart that Joe Biden was installed by globalists, Babylon included, to usher in the new world order. I love just throwing in Babylon included to usher in the new world order. So like Biden has been saying this shit for years. If right wing conspiracy theorists had wanted to, they could have just Googled it years earlier and seen other examples of them being proven right. Like back in 2017, when at the end of his vice presidential term, he warned that Trump's presidency would threaten the liberal international world order which feels like he is just writing for tucker carlson at that point or in 2013 during
Starting point is 00:56:52 a speech at the export import bank conference he specifically called for a new world order and then yeah i mean even if you're trying to be really optimistic you're like it's or not even to this, to refer conspiracy. There's like, just generally like what he's saying is shit's fucked. Maybe a new way of doing shit, which probably would have been more effective.
Starting point is 00:57:14 I mean, he probably could have rode that shit into the 2024 presidential election. Like Biden, shit's fucked. Need some, we need to try and do shit. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:23 Shit's fucked. You know, that's what I need to do. We need some new shit's fucked. You know? That's why we need some new shit. But this is just like such an old, like old school conspiracy theory that I, yeah, I see why Alex Jones or whatever is like jumping on it.
Starting point is 00:57:38 But it seems like more people are, you know, you're going to have more success with like the QAnon type shit. Because at least in that universe, Donald Trump is very powerful and trying to do things where this one it's like, you see, Biden is going to do it, man. The whole New World Order thing. I believe with all my heart that Joe Biden was installed by globalists. Yeah. That's always good when you have to preempt the thing you're about to claim that
Starting point is 00:58:06 you dispassionately believe is true with i believe with all my heart even at the time you know prior to all the world losing its fucking mind blaze media even pointed out that it was just a poor choice of words that is meant to indicate the need to a new global balance of power. They're like, it's Biden. Like he fucking says stupid shit all the time. Right. Right. Not so lucky anymore. No,
Starting point is 00:58:33 sorry. Sorry, folks. I mean, there's so many other problems that you could look at that are so vivid and you could just be like, there's a real issue, but sure.
Starting point is 00:58:43 New world order. I'm still hoping what he means is that NWO from WCW is coming back. I think he's hoping that too, but I don't think it's what his speechwriters wanted. I'm saying it's a long shot, but it may help coming up in his next campaign. Do you think Biden watches wrestling? Oh, yeah, man. Do you think Biden watches wrestling? Oh, yeah, man. Do you think he knows it's fake? Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:59:11 No, no. He's like, man, what if we got those guys in the army? That Sergeant Slaughter guy. Remember him from the 80s? That would have helped a lot. I don't know. I like the idea that Joe Biden believes wrestling is real. If that's the case, I'll vote for him.
Starting point is 00:59:29 There it is, Joe. I've laid the gauntlet down. What's the order in which you find out things are fake? Or at least, like, respectively. Like, did you find out wrestling was fake before you found out that Santa Claus... For anybody watching with young children, please... Also, what the fuck are you doing having
Starting point is 00:59:49 young kids around when we talk like this? Sorry. I had to scare them off. Did you find out that Santa Claus or wrestling was fake first? For me, honestly, I think the American Dream is the first thing my dad told me was a lie. There you go.
Starting point is 01:00:05 And then Santa Claus, then wrestling. What about you, Dahlia? I never believed in Santa Claus. My parents were like, we're taking credit for these gifts. Are you kidding me? Yeah. Yeah. I think I felt like I was all I didn't understand when other kids said they believed in Santa
Starting point is 01:00:20 because I'm like, that's not how shit really goes down at my house. Yeah. Like I saw my mom walk in with a Toys R Us bag. Right. Right. believed in santa because i'm like that's not how shit really goes down at my house yeah like i saw my mom walk in with the toys r us back right right and i'm i'm i'm like it's not smart i'm like i'm observant enough to be like my mom went to toys r us to buy something right and it's around christmas i think it's for me i just wanted to believe so dang bad. I was like, why would they lie to us? This was when I was in high school, I guess.
