Hello, the Internet, and welcome to this episode of No More Fat Trender rolls. Oh, man.

That one courtesy of Vanadium Silver on the Discord. Yes, sir. Sir. Only arms that look like Christmas hands. I want to see clean-shaven, handsome faces. I want to see some of the most beautiful men coming up to me. Tears in their eyes. Tears in their eyes.

I don't care about biceps. It's all about triceps now. That's right. Tries for the guys. That's right. My name is Jack O'Brien. That over there is Mr. Miles Gray. Yeah.

We're, of course, referring to over the weekend, end of last week. Yeah. the bat signal went out for the generals America's top military brass from around the world to convene in one location

yeah yeah all it concentrated in a one location as if it's like defense strategy by our yeah it's the it's like the beginning right before the inciting incident

for like a Gerard Butler movie you know all of the most powerful military men in one location what could fucking go wrong what? It does seem like that sort of thing that Trump should be aware of because I do feel like that dude has to love some Gerard Butler movies. I think we're at the point where not even a sane person who used to be like, sir, that's actually terrible for operational security.

Right. I think those people are completely gone. So now it's just like, yeah, great. So where do you want them to stay? Should they, should be, can they, should they fly economy? Do they stay at the bases? Do we get the three star, four star? We talked yesterday about an idea called engineered incompetence where a dictatorial leader and authoritarian will put people into positions of power who aren't able to do the job but are loyal to them and the idea is that they'll just do whatever you say because this is they know they don't have the ability to do the it.

It ain't never going to be discussed. They're over their head. However, that makes it possible for you to just get them to do whatever you want. We were talking about it in reference to the Comey indictment because Trump's, like, buddy, White House aide he made, put it in a huge position of power to indict James Comey. And the case just like does not look solid at all. This is somebody somebody he met at Mar-a-Lago at a party, I think. and she's the one who got got him on his like fuck the Smithsonian kick and also was her previous assignment yeah and she has like a major prosecutorial position despite the fact that

I think before she was an insurance lawyer never prosecuted anything in her life so anyway the big example of this that I mean it's easy to lose track of because there's so many things that are ridiculous about this guy but is Pete Hegseth is just a Fox News talking head who like looks good in a suit essentially, which is, as we'll get to, is a major concern for Trump. And he is in way over his head. And so he called everybody together. Everyone was like, uh-oh, are they about to like declare the Third World War? And what they did instead was have like a very standard like corporate pep rally type deal.

Yeah, get all the managers in here. get all the managers in and introduce some ideas that are going to be unpopular because they're stupid as fuck. Yeah. I think everyone's, anyone who's worked at a company that has like big all hands kind of things, you've experienced this where they'll be like, all right, guys, get in here. We got some really cool stuff coming on. And everybody who does the work in the call is like, yeah, okay, motherfucker. Right. How? Exactly. Yes. Okay. To you, maybe this works. This was basically the military equivalent. of Pete Higgs has been like, and we're doing all this shit that's way different, man. Yeah. And it's just crickets in there. Things are about

to change around here. And I God, it would be so wonderful to just like have a sense of like, if there's any video of them practicing this where he's like, because Oh, like a rehearsal. You can just tell his idea of how this was going to go was very different from

how it actually went. He like there are built in like applause break type things that are absolute like he wishes they were fucking crickets because at least it would break up the um they also had like terrible sound equipment and so there's like a buzz and so the silence is like vzz it's just anyone who's heard an ungrounded cable buzzing that's what you were getting yeah it was really something i mean like I'll just, this is a, this is a clip, too, where Hague Seth is really trying to be, like, again, this is like a janky fash Ted talk that he did. And I think what he was probably, maybe watching before for inspiration was maybe Patton

because he's pacing back and forth around a gigantic American flag. Because we know it wasn't Chris Rock's first stand-up special because that, that would be the other option, the way he's pacing. It would be, yeah. Yeah, but we know he wasn't watching that shit. Without, yeah, we're not even a fucking. shred of George C. Scott's charisma. But this was like, this was supposed to, this was supposed to be like a moment.

You could tell where he was like kicking this thing off because the way it sort of framed is like, look, man, the fucking, the break is off. You guys do whatever you need to do to start kicking ass out there. All right. And we're done with the woke shit. And the other thing that's giving Patton is the fact that he's backed by like one of the flags that takes up an entire football field. Yeah, exactly. Like, they just have that behind him. A few months ago, I was at the White House when President Trump announced his

Liberation Day for America's trade policy. It was a landmark day. Dry cost. But today is another liberation day. The liberation of America's warriors, in name, indeed, and in authorities. No applause. You kill people and break things for a living. Oh.

Now this is where... You are not politically correct. and don't necessarily belong Always in polite society Silence This is not an empty room This is a room full of his His guys

People who kill people The people who answer to him And they're just sitting there like Do you what You guys kill people and break shit You're actually the worst dinner guests A person could ever fucking imagine All right?

You're animals. Am I right boys? nothing fuck all right all right how about this one these are general these are career like generals and admirals and like people who have serious careers and he's like getting up there

like he's fucking talking to a frat party or like I feel like the the speech he saw before this to like get ready was probably Trump's speech to the what was it West Point where he was like speaking to all the like they apparently like got them drunk beforehand because

that's fine when you got a bunch of drunk-ass kids and you put the most enthusiastic ones like you order them to be enthusiastic behind the president. Motherfucker is dying up there. Yeah, it's bad. And then Trump went. So anyway, there's all kinds of shit. A lot of the things he was talking about like they're, this is scary

because they're trying to like get the main military leadership on board with invading U.S. cities and, you know, they're hyper-aggressive, potentially. Yeah, they're hyper-aggressive, you know, foreign policy stances. But Trump got up there and was like, damn, damn, son. I've never heard a room more silent in my- I think this is why it's genius that the cables were buzzing because it really underlines how awkward this whole room is, like, just to remind people. Trump, you know, he's a

fucking draft dodger. So you go and you address a, he obviously, we know about his disdain for the military that comes from his, like he, because he knows that these people look at him and go, bro, you ain't shit. Yeah. So fuck what you're saying. We know about his disdain for the military.

They know about his disdain for the military. Yeah, his disdain for fucking people who have been killed in combat. He's just like a, generally he's pretty anti-military in the sense that he's anti the people in the military. Yeah. Um, so this is him being like, whoa, basically he's like, whoa, tough room in here.

Tough crap you got. Here he is saying, I've never walked into a room so silent before. I've never walked into a room so silent before. This is very, don't laugh. Don't laugh. Don't laugh. You're not allowed to do that. You know what?

Just have a good time. And if you want to applaud, you applaud. And if you want to do anything you want, you can do anything you want. And if you don't like what I'm saying, you can leave the room. Of course, there goes your rank. There goes your future. oh boy that's uh that's one way to warm up a crowd yeah like yeah you guys you guys can laugh

uh please please please please laugh please clap so there's a little bit of jeb bush please clap uh there's also i'm fucking threatening you if you if you're not on board with this shit like you you're out so you better you better get lively real fast dude then he just started talking about the gulf of america like two minutes in it's just like it's it's rambore Then he said something about like, there's bad Democrats out there. A lot of bad people, the Democrats. Right. Then he just said, quote, we want war because we want to have no wars.

But you have to be there. And, you know, sometimes you have to. It's better if I read it because then you realize how incoherent is. Because sometimes you have to do it. I'm settled. I've settled so many wars since we're here. We're here almost nine months. And I've settled.

And yesterday, we might have settled the biggest of them all. Though I don't know. how are they not on their fucking feet from that you know yeah bro go easy on them um yeah and then the n-word thing came up right yeah yeah so i think one of the big headlines coming out of this is you know as he's addressing hundreds of u.s generals and admirals uh he complained that they're now two n-words and you can't use either of them referring to nuclear yeah it's and it was really a stupid person that works for i mentioned the word nuclear i'd moved a submarine or two. I won't say about the two.

What? Over to the coast of Russia, just to be careful, because we can't let people throw around that word. I call it the N-word. There are two N-words, and you can't use either of them. Crickets. You can use either of them. You can laugh, guys. Just a reminder, you can laugh. If it does get to use, we have more than anybody else.

It's interesting when Trump, he's such a, like a vibe player. You know what I mean? Like, if the energy in the room is good, he can be animated. If it's not, he fucking, it's just, he's dying up there. Anyways, I think they might be silent because, again, these are career military people who, you know, understand the consequences probably of, you know, bringing up nuclear weapons. And he's, like, joking about it. Again, kind of like a Chris Rock special, like, he's trying to be, you know, doing N-word material.

Jesus Christ, man. He's like, as you know, there's a difference. There's black people. And then there's nuclear people. You know what I'm saying? You know that famous bit? All right. All right.

Jesus Christ. Look, I'm not saying O.J. didn't do it. But I understand, but I understand. Wasn't that a great special, folks? Anyways, trendgeneered incompetence. That's the new title. Maybe, yeah, a little bit of both. Yeah, I feel like we're probably seeing that.

It'll be interesting to see where they go from here because it doesn't feel like they've got a lot to build on there, you know? No, and that would have, I would have fucking terrified me if that, if there was raucous applause or even generally applause outside of like the uncomfortable oh god i'm got to laugh at my boss's joke type shit yeah um i so the only time they laughed was when he threatened to take their take their jobs uh if they didn't essentially and i wonder if them they're i wonder if they laugh because they're like yeah okay let's let's yeah come and try that yeah yeah yeah cool but this is like after you know pete hexath has been on a rampage like fire

everybody who he doesn't think is on board so this is like his you know these are his guys at least partially you know and there's a lot of reports i mean like i don't think we talked about it but like a few weeks ago he's like making journalists like sign like fucking pledges that they were going to like you know only report the truth or they're going to get their credentials taken away and then there's also a thing where like journalists i don't think are really allowed to walk on uh without a chaperone basically through the pentagon so he's really like trying to lock it down. And then there was another report recently about just how erratic that Pete Hegsteth has

become since Charlie Kirk died. He said, this is from The Daily Mail. They said Hegsel is becoming increasingly, quote, obsessed with his own security and exhibits frenzied behavior such as fidgeting and pacing during meetings. Quote, there is a manic quality about him. Or let me rephrase an even more manic quality, which is really saying something. Dude is crawling out of his skin. another source cited.

Which he always looks to be. Like ever since he always looks wildly uncomfortable in his own skin. Much like, you know, I would say that described me when I was drinking and didn't have a drink in me. I'm just saying. Yeah, because, I mean, let's not forget

famously they call him the DUI hire because not only were they're like, you know, sexual assault allegations against him, there's a lot of talk about how just fucking wasted he would get. And we saw it. Like, It's on, there's video of it on Fox of him drinking. Yeah. But, you know, he was like, oh, no, I'm not going to have a drink, man.

If this job's serious, I wouldn't, I'm never going to touch this stuff. And I've seen a lot of people, you know, who are like, we're in recovery and things, be like, something called dry drunk. Yeah, there's a thing called dry drunk. And it was, it's worse than drunk drunk in many cases because you're not, you know, you've got untreated. Yeah, you're not addressing the issue. You're crawling out of your skin is a phrase.

I've heard quite a bit from people in recovery. Anyways. Oh, that's like a way to describe it. Like, is that because it's like this sort of mortal discomfort of... Yeah, you're just uncomfortable in your own skin. You constantly are just like, ugh, fucking make it stop. And it being just like existence, you know, just existing as yourself. So I don't know.

Don't want to speculate on that. He does seem to be just not the guy for the job. Yeah, without even speculating on that, I can say this. He seems wholly unqualified and should not be in that position, regardless of whatever he's gone through in his personal life. Just on the basis of what I've seen. What I saw in that one video, and I've seen a lot, but just if you're just taking that one video. Oh, there is a video that it's funny that people started reposting this video when he was on Fox and Friends where he fucking, he was trying to like flip a skateboard up, like with like. by stomping on it and just dings himself in the nuts.

I mean, we all need a little treat. Like, there he goes. He goes, what's this? He's going to, uh, oh, his face is even like, oh, yeah, yeah. I got it. All right, let's take a quick break. We'll be right back. And that's a half-truth is a whole lie.

For almost a decade, the murder of an 18-year-old girl from a small town in Graves County, Kentucky, went unsolved. Until a local homemaker, a journalist, and a handful of girls came forward with a story. I'm telling you, we know Quincy killed her. We know. A story that law enforcement used to convict six people and that got the citizen investigator on national TV. Through sheer persistence and nerve, this Kentucky housewife helped give justice to Jessica Curran. My name is Maggie Freeling. I'm a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, producer, and I wouldn't be here if the truth were that easy to find. I did not know her and I did not kill her, or rape or burn or any of that other stuff that y'all said.

They literally made me say that I took a match and struck and threw it on her. They made me say that I poured gas on her.

I'm from a very rural background myself.

My dad is a farmer and my mom is a cousin. So like, it's not like... What do you get when a true crime producer walks into a comedy club? I know it sounds like the start of a bad joke, but that really was my reality nine years ago. I just normally do straight stand-up, but this is a bit different. On stage stood a comedian with a story that no one expected to hear. Well, 22nd of July 2015, a 23-year-old man had killed his family. And then he came to my house.

So what do you get when a true crime producer walks into a comedy club? A new podcast called Wisecrack, where stand-up comedy and murder takes center stage available now listen to wisecrack on the iHeart radio app apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts and we're back we're back um eric adams has dropped out of uh the new york mayoral race that he was still somehow in um I do love to check in with the New York mayoral race. One of the last things giving me hope in this cruel, dark winter of our discontent where they've let somebody with actual economically left policies run in a race. I mean, at this point, it's like economically sane, humane policies.

This isn't even like radical to be like, ah, maybe don't charge people whatever for fucking food. I was a little. So anyway, we'll talk. Eric Adams announced over the weekend. He was dropping out. He made it in fitting form in a baffling announcement where he like sat down next to a, he descended stairs with the song My Way playing because being, ending your failed campaign after being indicted for corruption is doing it my way. Yeah, maybe. I didn't follow the rules, baby. He also sat on the stairs next to a blown up portrait of his deceased mother. And, yeah, I don't, like, it's just, he said I was wrongfully charged because I fought for this city. If I had to do it again, I would fight for New York again. No, no, I think they're good.

I think they're good, man. You're right. I don't think that's why you were, fuck, I don't, I can't be sure. I don't know all the ends and outs of the case, but I'm pretty sure it was you were stealing money. A lot of self-dealing going on, not just from you, but from like all kinds of people. Like, let's not even forget it. Like less than a month ago, one of your people who are allied with your campaign, just handing out bags of cash. Yeah.

The plan to make Trump to make him Trump's ambassador to Saudi Arabia, that is coming from a billionaire developer who's working for the Bally's corporation. and they want to build a casino on a city-owned Bronx golf course. And Adams basically a city council decision eliminated this corporation from the licensing competition. And Adams, in a wholly unprecedented move vetoed that city council decision. So kept him in contention, kept them alive to build a fucking casino in the Bronx. Just like how nakedly corrupt. Can you get? Make it a fucking park, Zaraon, please.

Yeah. Anyway, so I do. One thing that I do keep hearing is Trumpian, like, don't even vote for Mamdani because we're, I'm going to cut off all funding for New York City and you'll be fucked. I don't know how much of New York City's budget is funded by the federal government. Is that? No, you know, they have. Is that dangerous?

I mean, look, New York is, you know, has the distinction of being a donor state, which is one of the states that gives more to the federal government than they receive. So I don't think they're going to miss that money because, you know, along with what, like 18 other states, those are the ones who get to be like, sorry, assholes, we give you more than we're taking right now. So like, miss us with these threats. So we'll just keep this then? We won't give you all the money that we're getting you.

He's tried this before and lost in courts and be like, I'm not giving stuff to sanctuary city. It's like, that's Congress is, you can say that, but Congress is. the one that ultimately does that and courts have already smacked their shit down so again big jerk off motion from donald trunk there on you know sure i'll do you yeah you'll defund it you'll you'll you'll not give the money back that they gave you yeah it is it continues to be it's like when we take a few days break from this uh mayoral race and then i just look at it again it continues to be um that like kind of hard to wrap your head around

how the Democratic Party is responding to the Mamdani candidacy. Like, it's still, they still continue to just ignore the shit out of him. Like, the Kamala Harris thing last week, where she was, like, so begrudging about saying that she would endorse him. Like, it's, is there only excuse that they think he's, like, his ideas are unreal? Like, the Cuomo, oh, yeah, and what's next? Free pizza for lunch? like, is that their only thing

is that they think it's unrealistic? I don't know, man. It's, it's so wild. I don't know. All of their means tested programs that they like pay themselves like millions of dollars to come up with and like, you know, pay fucking consultants,

millions of dollars. Like those don't work. Those never fucking work. They just, they have the added benefit of like making them and the people who fund their campaigns a shit load of money. but, like, they don't have any reason.

Like, it's just this big gaping, like, you want to understand, I remember, I forget the New Yorker writer who wrote the book on Dark Money. Maybe it was Jill Lepore, but she always talks about how Dark Money, like, is this thing, she compares it to, like, dark matter in the universe

because it's this thing where you see the effects of it. Oh, is it Jane Mayer, I think? Oh, yeah, maybe, yeah, Jane Mayer. That's right. And you see, like, things moving, but you actually don't see, the money and like this is this is the best example i can think of of like how all you need to know about how politics actually works is the democratic party has the path forward for them staring

them in the face right and they are do they are closing their eyes they're plugging up their ears and they're just like humming as loud as they possibly can yeah it's i was sort of struck in the new york times i think yesterday there was an op-ed it was an op-ed it wasn't like the new York Times saying it. But this professor from George Washington University was basically saying like, looks like the Democrats, one path forward is eat the rich populism. I don't know.

Just put it out there. Just looking around and seeing some shit out there. Like there's another candidate I think in Nebraska maybe who also like outperformed Kamala Harris. Dan Osborne. Yeah, Dan Osborne. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. So like, and they're pointing to him and Zaron being like, these

two people they don't I mean like because Osborne they're like I mean for talking with social issues he's pretty conservative not like like backwards but he's conservative like you know he's not saying like there should be an abortion ban he doesn't believe in that but he's also like yeah you need guns you need to zip up the border that kind of stuff sure sure but also but he's well when he asked he's like I'm not here to talk about social issues man I'm here to talk about the fucking millionaires and billionaires who have no fucking idea what it's like to work for a living yeah That's what that's the, those are the policies I'm interested in. And, you know, this op-ed, they're like, guys, like this is, you need a well-defined villain and political narrative.

And this is one that speaks to such a plurality of people, the idea that the elites are siphoning up every dollar you have, not that it's, it's abstract and they're like, what happened to my bank account. It's coming in the form of what your gas prices are, your electricity prices are. think of who you pay money to to fucking live like not you know what I mean like who do you give your money for for food for shelter these are the things that are fucking squeezing people dry yeah and those that's and they're like this is the fucking message y'all I don't but seems to be working why it's amazing that you are not using it yeah just right there but I get it but he was sort of right he's like but you know what I mean like this out the last paragraph was just sort of saying like um where is it

Uh, oh, okay, it says turning Democrats into the vehicle for this coalition will take a struggle, a bruising messy contest to seize the reins from a party establishment that will be scrambling for its life. But working people fight much harder battles, working people fight much harder battles every day. It's about time they had somebody in their corner. It's sort of like, damn, son. Maybe get the fuck out the way. Fucking bars. Uh, another thing that we've talked about before the, like the Democratic Party always wants to turn somebody's success into being like, he's just a gift. fifted politician, like Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, the cover of Vanity Fair is The Legend of Zeran. Is this the man of the future? Is this man the future of American politics? So they are going to try and, like, turn it into like, no, this guy's just fucking, there's something ineffable about his Riz. It's not the content of his words.

Nope. It's about the Riz of his character. He obviously would be the very first person to be like, no, it's not. It's just, he's very. I mean, of course, you would have to do that because you're just going to be like, oh, it's anomalous. Right. It's not that everyone can do this. It's not that anyone can speak to this lived shared experience that fucking 99% of Americans have, which is what the fuck is going on, bro?

Why does my dollar not get me anything? Yeah. That part. That part right there. And I think not so much over here or right here, but right in here, that part feels like, oh, my God. What the fuck happened to your face? I knew it. All right.

Nice little Tommy boy reference for the elder millennials. Just an aside. Yeah, we're old. That movie came out 30 years ago. Jesus. All right. Those are some of the things that are trending on this Tuesday, September 30th. If we are back tomorrow with a whole last episode of the show, until then, be kind to each other.

Be kind to yourselves. Get your vaccines while you still can. Get your flu shots. Don't do nothing about white supremacy. And we will talk to you all tomorrow. Bye. Bye. The Daily Zike guys.
