It was very good. It was very good. I was saying that as an elderly millennial, I was familiar with Conan, less familiar with Hot Ones. I think that was the first time I had watched a whole Hot Ones

Starting point is 00:16:46 sous vide machine, another Traeger, a sister for it. Just start up my own smoking smokehouse. All that's happened is that you've proved that nicotine addiction can be profitable. Like, that's...
Starting point is 00:17:01 Oh, real. Well, Philip Morris proved that as well, but right we can call your barbecue place janie danger's girly meat all right come and get it come get a mouthful what uh what's something you guys think is underrated oh i have one for this just because there was a mild uh discourse about it on Twitter recently. Love discourse. Henry Rollins, I think, is underrated. Okay, work. Because he's really hot, and he's been hot.
Starting point is 00:17:32 He's one of these men that has this very rare thing for men. Most men are either hot when they're young or they're hot when they're old. But few men are hot their entire life and yeah henry rollins is one of those guys and i yeah i you know people were talking when everyone was talking about conan and how great conan is and i i agree conan is great because he's got this kind of like like he knows like all the history he knows everything about comedy he knows like everything perfect about it and henry ollins is like a similar guy with like a similar vibe but like towards like punk music and shit like savant level yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah and it's like
Starting point is 00:18:16 a sincerity that is sometimes like off-putting and cringy but it's it is sincere nonetheless and i appreciate sincerity and yeah i think that's cool let's not let's not say hot at every age too soon because i don't know if you've seen the latest pictures of clint eastwood or gene hackman but oh god those guys yeah not to be not to be they were never hot hot. Clint Eastwood was pretty hot. Gene Hackman? No. Gene Hackman was pretty hot. Gene Hackman was not...
Starting point is 00:18:51 He was hot at the end of the birdcage. He just changed into a cart... Gene Hackman now looks like the very old man from The Giving Tree. Oh, yes. He's just transformed like a nose and saggy skin like it's crazy like he just doesn't this is young gene hackman oh my god we're good
Starting point is 00:19:12 we're okay yeah i mean handsome i don't like the way he's biting that bottom lip yeah that scares me no i think he just has he just has no bottom, so it looks like he's liking it. Okay. Also, Gene Hackman is literally like 99, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And still going to the... And Clint Eastwood is 93. There's a picture of Gene Hackman, 99, walking to the gas station, picking up a cup of coffee and a pack of smokes. I was like, God damn, man.
Starting point is 00:19:42 The genes. Zen rewards. It's not too late. The jeans on that Hackman are pretty. I bet Hackman has some Marlboro gear at home. Oh, yeah. He's probably got a thick Marlboro jacket. He's got the Gore-Tex raincoat.
Starting point is 00:19:58 Oh, yes. That'd be cool as hell. I'll be eager to see what Henry Rollins looks like when he's 93 to 99 years old. I know, but Henry Rollins is like fit though. Yeah, he is. He's still both jacks. I feel it.
Starting point is 00:20:12 He's daddy. I remember that music video for Liar in like 1994. And I was like, yo, this dude is fucking meat. He's meat, boy. He is meat. He is meat. He is meat. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:24 That was what started the Twitter stuff. Was that video, like, I don't know, someone was going around and people were like, this is some of the worst music ever made. And I was like, probably, but he's also made some of the best music ever too. So it's fine. Right, right, right. Let's not just view his entire career from that moment, for sure. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:44 And also, I mean mean i don't know rollins band was it was something unique it was very it was like uh dennis leary rants like put like it's kind of cool like it's there's not a lot of analogs to that nowadays so i it's not really for me but i respect it i guess right right yeah uh let's take a quick break and we'll come back and Carmen hear what you think is underrated.

Starting point is 00:24:33 on the overrated underrated in my past appearances on the show but free legal advice underrated underrated i want to shout somebody out right now that you could either reach out to if you need the free legal advice as a trans person, or if you call yourself an ally, you should be donating to these people because they're awesome. So they're called transfamiliesos.org. And I'm on the fourth insurance denial for a surgery that I've been actively pursuing for a year and a half now. As you can imagine, I'm fucking exhausted. But I just had a meeting right before I hopped on this call with the trans family SOS. Their free lawyers helped me kind of figure out how to navigate this whole insurance system and get my shit covered by insurance. So they're underrated. Wait, after that consultation,
Starting point is 00:25:20 you have a path now? I have a path forward now, I guess. So it's given me some hope. They basically are just going to slap these people with a ton of data and research and be like, this is why this bitch needs her surgery, so get it done. Okay, shout out trans family SOS. It's like trans
Starting point is 00:25:39 Phoenix Riot. Yeah. Phoenix Riot Ace Attorney. It's a game where you play as a lawyer. Oh, duh, yes. Objection! Yes, I got them on my side. She needs the FFS!
Starting point is 00:25:57 I do. That's so cool that they do that. Not cool that you need a lawyer to navigate our fucking horrible healthcare system. Do we even call it healthcare anymore? It's just squeezing you for every dollar no matter what
Starting point is 00:26:12 your situation is. Death management. What's something Janie that you think is overrated? Dude, I gotta put it out there. I put podcasting. No offense, guys. Podcasting,
Starting point is 00:26:29 I've taken some time off and I've realized we're just talking with our friends. It's awesome making money talking with your friends, but you can just have good little conversations with your friends anytime you want.
Starting point is 00:26:47 You don't need iHeartMedia paying you to do it it's nice but you know it was nice you know actually maybe let me go let me go back actually maybe it's actually cooler than i thought. But no. Yeah, I don't know. I thought about that like a minute before. I remember you guys said the over-under thing. I was like, well, let me vent some stuff out here. But like every other time I've came on the show and said the over-under, I immediately start walking it back. Right.
Starting point is 00:27:22 Yeah, we're at the will of a an ad-based medium and yeah with that's publicly traded yeah and it rules yeah and it's cool death comes for all of us eventually comes and insert yeah it it's the best yeah i think it is number one yeah and i think for listeners too and this is bad for our business model but like as a podcast listener i feel like some when i'm at my best mentally socially spiritually i'm not listening to a ton of podcasts that is so true i'm talking to humans That is so true. I'm talking to humans. I listen to the most podcasts when I'm like,
Starting point is 00:28:10 usually when I'm opening my restaurant, like, cause I've got like an hour, like where I just put in my headphones and people will be like, good morning, Janie. And I'm like, I'm listening to seeking arrangements. Get away from me.
Starting point is 00:28:21 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Shout out to Hessa. Yeah. But, uh, when I'm, yeah, I don't, get away from me. Yeah. Yeah. Shout out to Hessa. Yeah. But when I'm, yeah, I don't know. Yeah, yeah. Carmen, what do you think is overrated?
Starting point is 00:28:35 Well, this isn't going to come as any surprise to y'all. But first, I would do want to preface this by saying I am not a legal financial expert in any way, shape, or form. But paying your medical bills is overrated i have a surgery scheduled for april 30th and i just it's i'm having a revision on a trachea shave that i had back in 2015 by a doctor who fucked up kenny rogers's eye lift so that's oh shit yeah and i found that out after the surgery obviously i wouldn't put the surgery with this guy if that's why kenny rogers looked like that well yeah rogers was trying to get the k-pop surgery he was they they made him look like he was just like constantly
Starting point is 00:29:16 surprised so back in 2015 i had a trachea shave with this plastic surgeon and i'm having it revised on april 30th and i'm also getting vocal feminization surgery at the same time and the insurance is paying them forty one thousand dollars okay jesus christ now they want me that's crazy i know i know uh it's for a trachea shave and the vocal feminization surgery which which involves a laser so i think everything comes from the fucking laser i swear to god but yeah uh and they want me to pay four thousand dollars and i said baby that's too bad you're just gonna have to you're just gonna have to cut your losses yeah our show got canceled you got 41 000 make it work baby make it last don't spend it all in one place okay yeah right
Starting point is 00:30:08 damn it's funny you mentioned that because i like i don't think it was because of medical debt but we've been like applying to a lot of uh houses lately because we i don't want to get into it but we need a place to live and um we actually got one we signed a lease today so anyway speed running that but uh i did get denied for like the first few places i applied to because they said my credit was bad my credit's really good i just have like a few delinquent like student loans and like medical loans that are like private you know because i went to a private thing and blah blah but you had to do like care credit probably i don't even know i well there was a little personal but i i was in a rehab like a few years ago and while i was there like towards the end of my stay they were like hey you've been
Starting point is 00:30:59 here a week how are you paying for this i was like uh with insurance and they're like you don't have insurance i was like well why are you keeping me here and they're like wow you can leave i guess so i was like okay i just laughed yeah i know i wish they told they were like we've been charging you like nine thousand dollars a day and i was like whoa what is that real it was it was something crazy i i'm getting honest i don't i don't remember how much it was it might have it might have been a thousand dollars a day if i'm honestly remembering correctly i could believe nine thousand dollars a day to be honest it was in california i could for sure it was not it was not fucking passages malibu it was like one of the worst places in
Starting point is 00:31:41 the world like it was like it was a place where you would be like watching like the same movie that's playing on the fx channel for like the fourth time that week and then you just hear it was kind of like the zone of interest where you're just hearing like people get like shocked and like people getting like juiced and like stuff like hold her down like it's like the back it's like yeah it's like he's naked again and you just have to like keep it out of your like it's just always in the periphery and you're like oh well that sounds that sounds bad but uh the movie escape room is on fx right now so that's cool yeah so i to be watching that. So we got that going. Yeah. Yeah. Amazing.
Starting point is 00:32:26 All right. Should we get into somebody who might be a little too comfy? A little too comfy right now? Sleepy Don. Sleepy Don. Sleepy Don. SD. So first day of his New York criminal trial, he couldn't help but doze off like a little toddler in the backseat of a station wagon.
Starting point is 00:32:45 You know, mouth going slack, head drooping onto his chest. Blowing a big bubble with a little sleepy cap. A little snot bubble coming out of one nostril. It's getting bigger and smaller. Inflates and deflates. I feel like he's a sleepy time baron. Do they do the snot bubble in American cartoons? Because I know they do it in Japanese cartoons a lot. Yeah Do they do the snot bubble in American cartoons? Because I know they've done Japanese cartoons a lot.
Starting point is 00:33:06 Yeah, they do. I think it's honestly like a British thing. I think it's like a Dickensian kind of portrayal. That's the best Kirby power-up. The sleepy cat. Yeah, the sleepy cat. Oh, I've got a sleepy Kirby somewhere. Oh, okay, sorry.
Starting point is 00:33:21 And then he would kind of wake up with a jolt, which is kind of the dead giveaway. That's the part where you can't be like where you can't be like no i was just you know listening because when i was in ninth grade i remember uh they were reading something in class and i remember i fell asleep and i had a dream in class where i was like on a skateboard like going down a hill yeah and i saw like a big tree like in the dream like i like slammed into a tree and i like woke up like and like i looked around and everyone's like scared looking at me yeah i did that but said a word but the word was like backwards i think and it freaked everybody out like a twin peaks like yeah i was
Starting point is 00:34:05 like i used to do that when i got too high also i would start talking and realize it's i should have never smoked that shit now i'm in the black lodge but you ever do that shit too when you fall asleep in bed and you get the sound like you just hypnic jerks. Hypnic jerks. Hypnic jerk. Shout out to the Spirit of the Beehive album, Hypnic Jerks. There you go.
Starting point is 00:34:37 People started calling him Sleepy Don, which on the one hand, when he called Joe Biden Sleepy Joe, we were like that's stupid. And then now we're like, ah! I mean, I still thought it was funny when he called him Sleepy Joe. No, I like his nicknames, though. Yeah, his nicknames are pretty good. That's the one thing you're like, meh.
Starting point is 00:34:54 Yeah, all right. All right. No, Rhonda Sanctimonious was the bad one. All the other ones were pretty good. Just calling him Rob was the best. Rob, mistakenly, was such a fucking... Small hands, Mark. What was the best. Rob, mistakenly, was such a fucking... Small hands, Mark. What was the small hands?
Starting point is 00:35:08 Little Marco. But it wasn't spelled L-I-D-D-L-E. Like, it was spelled Little Marco. It's like how a non-binary teenager would talk on Twitter. Like, it's Little Marco. Very baby talk. It holds, like, the tender queer speak out. The two fingers.
Starting point is 00:35:29 And also, like, when he's calling somebody else out, it's definitely something he's struggling with himself in this case. And, like, it's just, he's so scared of sleep. Like, he's been, first of all, we know he's been like abusing Adderall for like 45 years. We're so alike. It's insane. His campaign like came out and was like, that is 100% fake news that he was sleeping. Like just like truly a kid at a sleepover party. Who's like, no, you're asleep.
Starting point is 00:36:04 I was the last one awake and i saw of you and so you willingly pressed on you you willingly pissed your sleeping bag while you were alert that was the joke okay the prosecution like puts his hand in like a cup of warm water he wakes up he's got like sharpie like dicks like full beard painted on with sharpie yeah yeah so people are also pointing out like he's falling asleep publicly during the queen's speech at buckingham palace which that is what that is for also during a morning prayer service at the national cathedral in 2017 yeah that's your simple issue. Fall asleep.
Starting point is 00:36:47 Court and listening to British people talk is the two boringest things of all time. Like, I can't fault him for this. Like, I get it. Have you ever, like, listened to or, like, seen a speech by the Queen? She is intentionally saying absolutely nothing in a very pleasant i did and they had to call an ambulance because they were i was showing od symptoms they like narcan yeah i'm like no sorry sorry i was watching the queen sorry i was watching the queen i'm not kidding i literally have the words like england and britain and uk like muted on like my twitter
Starting point is 00:37:23 feed because i don't want to hear anything about it. I don't want to hear about the Queen. Everyone's talking about, oh, what happened to Kate Middleton? I'm like, I don't know who that is. I don't want to know who that is. I'm walking away from this. Need to prioritize my attention. Also, apparently the Covfefe
Starting point is 00:37:39 tweet happened because he just fell asleep in the middle of writing something. i do that all the time yeah okay totally like just he he's terrified of sleep like fighting it with all of his being denying when he falls asleep it's also funny because their stance heading into this trial was yeah we're actually glad this trial's happening. It's great publicity for us. We want all the coverage of this trial.
Starting point is 00:38:09 This is actually going to be great publicity. We actually thank you for training the media spotlight on us, good sir, because we are going to rip this whole court a new asshole, whole court's out of order. I hope you motherfuckers are ready. And then he promptly, like, falls asleep. Right.
Starting point is 00:38:28 The second. Both, like, right away. Yeah. Oh. This is from a report today. CNN contributor Norm Eason tweeted on Tuesday, Trump is asleep again at 11 a.m. Then his account was corroborated during an on-air hit at 10 a.m.
Starting point is 00:38:44 Then his account was corroborated during an on-air hit at 10 a.m. MSNBC and another reporter confirmed observing Trump having his eyes closed and leaning to the left. Trump's head slowly dropped, his eyes closed. It jerked back upward. He adjusts himself. Then his head droops again. He straightens up, leaning back. His head droops for a third time.
Starting point is 00:39:05 He shakes his shoulders, eyes closed still. His head drops. Finally, a feather comes down over his mouth and he keeps blowing it up and down with each honk shoo that he lets out. He's like,
Starting point is 00:39:21 yeah! Wait till you see me in court. I'm gonna... Unfortunately, but yeah he's like yeah wait till you see me in court oh my god unfortunately I'm not convinced that unfortunately I have not been convinced that bad press works against Donald Trump
Starting point is 00:39:38 it literally doesn't I literally think any press is good press for him no matter what do you think this one like the stuff that seems to work is like him being a misogynist and him like looking like he's having fun. It works to like normal people. Saying offensive shit. Like that stuff works for sure.
Starting point is 00:39:57 Does falling asleep in court, like it feels like at that point you're just kind of seeing an old guy, right? Court is boring. Everyone knows. Even if you just had to pay a traffic ticket, it's boring as fuck. It sucks. So you think people are just like, yeah, same, and that's it? Dude, I mean, I am, for one. I don't really see anything crazy about falling asleep in court.
Starting point is 00:40:21 Believe me, I've spent my fair share of time in front of a judge um yeah i don't know i mean it is like it yeah he doesn't really have like i would say the thing that would there is no silver bullet for him i don't really yeah i don't really think anything makes a difference in like his perception like his fans are like incredibly ride or die. Yeah. Like whatever he does is cool. Even bankrupting his fans is cool. They're like,
Starting point is 00:40:52 I'm so happy. I gave my life savings over to you. Thank you. It is crazier than any like pop or like rap artists, like Stan culture in the entire world. Like Kanye stands, Drake stands, like Taylor Swift.
Starting point is 00:41:03 He's like, it's nothing holds a candle to trump like yeah because even those fans be like i don't know about that though like with the artist you know what i mean it's not like no yeah there are some that are all in all the time but then you at least see that whereas like with maga it's like not like maybe they can explain away kanye's maybe the only one that has fans that are close to Trump because the Kanye fans are like, oh, well, I mean, he's just he just likes Hitler, dude. What's wrong with that? If you're still Team Ye at this point.
Starting point is 00:41:33 Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. We would have to see like Taylor Swift. It'd be interesting to see if she ever like decided to test test that fan base. But she's just too kind of the only thing i've seen taylor swift get kind of criticism for recently is about the uh just taking private planes everywhere but to that i would like to say which obviously i i agree like taking private jets everywhere is horrible for the environment i'm not going to dispute that But could we realistically imagine a world where Taylor Swift boards a fucking commercial airline?
Starting point is 00:42:07 I don't know. I don't think it's good, but I don't think that like a fucking like all this climate change is happening because of Taylor Swift. It's happening. Right. Fucking Exxon Mobil. Like, let's be real here. That's a story that Exxon Mobil wants us to talk about. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:24 Like these are. Yeah. These are like it's like it's not good and i do think it is like a gross display of like capitalism but like it's not like solely like taylor swift or like any other like single like billionaire's fault like it's not good i'm not like endorsing it but collective collective billionaire jet traffic is a huge contributor though too i would be fine with like one person is deputized to use a private plane a day and it's taylor swift yeah because like but like they're saying that shit while the people who own their media empires have taken like three pjs that day yeah to like play around a golf in like four different states yeah yeah and to have a meeting that could have been an email you know yes yeah exactly it's
Starting point is 00:43:11 like warner brothers or like whoever is like owning like the rights to like taylor swift's music is like yeah we're just drilling a hole into the center of the earth for fun like right yeah her and her pjs you know yeah she has to take that shit to like get to to like go fucking entertain the entire nation of brazil like yeah you know what i mean like that right good for the collective like serotonin levels of the of the species yeah i'll allow it yeah she's making people happy and beyonce and happy. I mean, any of those people would be ripped apart if they tried to hop on like a Delta. You know, it would be... Or they do that thing, you know,
Starting point is 00:43:51 when you're really popping and they drive you to the fucking gate on the car and then you go up the stairs on the jetway so then nobody sees you get on. That's when you're really popping. You just have to wear a hazmat suit. I want to get to that level. Like Naomi Campbell. That's how she did it pre-COvid and she said i was right y'all wear your hazmat suit yeah looking like literally wears a hazmat suit on a plane it is so
Starting point is 00:44:15 i love her for it we have the same birthday oh really okay all right morrissey too but fucking just walking around like season four, Walt and Jesse everywhere. Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. You look like Cuba Gooding in Outbreak. Yeah. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:46:49 podcasts. This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today. And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman.
Starting point is 00:47:27 The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore. The story of one strange and violent summer. This is Rip Current, available now with new episodes every Thursday. 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.
Starting point is 00:47:58 We're back. We're back. Holy shit, we're back. Holy shit. Where were we? Seriously. I slept through that whole break sorry miles just miles is micro napping for like three seconds in between every time i start talking his head just goes down and uh yeah and how was that trump story for you by the way was
Starting point is 00:48:19 that difficult about trump yeah yeah we did talk about Trump. Yeah, yeah, fuck that dude. So you disagree with the story about Trump feeding millions of homeless people and building wells in Africa? I'm for that. I mean, yes. Guy looks like a Cheeto.
Starting point is 00:48:43 Cheeto. The orange one. All right. Let's talk about somebody who kind of shares complexion with Donald Trump, and that is Dog the Bounty Hunter. And hairstyles. They're both hair icons. Yeah, they're hair icons for sure.
Starting point is 00:49:00 Wig? Is that a wig? I don't know. It could be. They both have hair that looks like it was designed to like launch a thousand Halloween wigs. Yeah, 100%. Yes. But yeah, very unserious person. Jesse Waters had Dwayne Dog Chapman on.
Starting point is 00:49:19 So the racist with skin as soft as welder's gloves could promote his new book. the racist with skin as soft as welder's gloves uh could promote his new book and despite this being like a promo stop waters fucking decided he's like you know what man i know you got a book let's let's just get into man what about these motherfucking immigrants and that led to an interesting exchange of ideas between the two and by that i mean i i don't know here's dog the bounty hunter talking about immigration oh lord oh hell yeah hell yeah. Bracing. Go get, get it together. Here we go. When you approach these people, whether they're migrants or outlaws. Yes, sir. This is what we're going to, when you approach these people, whether they're migrants, I'm just already, we're starting off on the wrong. Same thing. Same death. Yeah. We're going to be looking at,
Starting point is 00:50:04 do you have any advice for donald trump if he assumes office again is he going to make you deportation czar i would like a job like that and it doesn't matter who you are what what nationality what tribe you belong to if you're a lawbreaker and you're in this country illegal and you were booted from another country because you were a felon and told to go to America, that's where we're going to start. Is the high priority the top of the echelon? And they are going back and or they're going to jail. When I first started bounty hunting 45 years ago, there were two bounty hunters. Today, there's 6,500.
Starting point is 00:50:44 There's new laws. You can't be convicted of a felony in the last 10 years. We use non-lethal weapons that'll drop a mule. So get ready. What kind of non-lethal weapons would you use? Well, the newest one they've got is the new pepper ball gun, and it's designed to spin the body. The new pepper ball gun?
Starting point is 00:51:03 It does not enter unless you... I had to take a 40-hour course. You cannot shoot above the neck or it would kill them. So, pop, pop, and they're down. That's it. Oh, my God. And what you want to do is put the person down to cuff them and then go from there. Right. So, I, for one, don't think it's good to have a nation full of, like, little Kyle Ritten houses.
Starting point is 00:51:24 No. Running around, like, just fucking shooting, like... to have a nation full of little Kyle Ritten houses running around just fucking shooting beanbags at Mexican families and stuff. That will take their head off if you hit them above the shoulders. If you don't have a 40-hour training course. I also, I just gotta say real quick,
Starting point is 00:51:40 I have not thought about Dog the Bounty Hunter for a solid decade. Since the South Park episode. Yeah. Or since he got canceled, screaming about his son's black girlfriend. He was like, oh, you really like using the N-word, don't you? Dude, I don't even remember that. That's how his show got canceled.
Starting point is 00:51:56 Because this voicemail leaked. And they're like, oh, boy. It's like, come on. Y'all didn't see this man's face? And they're like, oh, no, he don't use the N-word. No, not him. Same for like Paula Deen. Yeah, she probably is racist.
Starting point is 00:52:11 There's a few phrases that they had to be like, you know what? You actually can't say that, Paul. It's not. I know it may be a colloquialism to you, but we don't we can't do that. But I like I was like, you can't be a bounty hunter if you've committed a felony in the last 10 years. But I like how he's like, you can't be a bounty hunter if you've committed a felony in the last 10 years. Because this dude, he was convicted of third degree murder in 1976. He was?
Starting point is 00:52:32 Yeah, he was the getaway. He was probably bounty hunting too hard, Miles. No, he was the getaway driver during what he called a drug deal gone bad. But it sounds like a robbery gone bad. You know, I'm not going to like fact check his check his, like, statements about, like, there are 6,500 bounty hunters. But I'll be honest, I kind of believe it. Like, I kind of believe that, like. Because of him. The, like, right wing in this country has become, like, so, like, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:52:58 Like, I just have to mention Kyle Rittenhouse again like it's all like people with like mentalities like that where they've been like so like programmed to like hate like so many other people and not really have even like sort of like a materialistic reason why to right but then you're doing it you're doing it in service of like this oppressive system of bonding out of prison or out of jail and shit like that like you're reinforcing that debt to be of prison or out of jail and shit like that like you're reinforcing that debt to be like guess what one of these people will find you with a gun that's non-lethal unless they shoot you in the neck and above and then they will kill you also is that not lethal i do think it's funny like i don't know like imagine like one of these freaks
Starting point is 00:53:39 like because he says like yeah if you're like a murderer who's killed like 47 times and you got kicked out of your country for killing so much. And I told you to come. Are you talking like, look, like if we're talking about like, like fucking cartel hitman. Yeah, I probably don't want them walking the streets either. But like, what the fuck are you? What is some fucking like tumbleweed from like nebraska who like it's like i'm gonna become a bounty hunter he's gonna go up to like a cartel guy and they will torture him in a storage unit for years like he will never see him again bad v dog the bounty hunter he will instantly wake up in the hostel room. It's over.
Starting point is 00:54:30 The other thing I always think about with him is he always claims to be Native American. He wears feathers in his hair and shit like that. He said he could use the N-word because I'm an Apache was what he said. And you're like, oh, that's a bit of a jump. But many, especially in the Native American community, are pretty dubious about that fact because he's so consistent about what tribe he says he belongs to and most people can't find anything that suggests that his mother who he claims is native american isn't just a normal like every regular degular white person and some people who have supposedly looked into it's not really it's it's hard to say like this is are the facts and truth. But they say maybe it happened because in her past, she said she had spent time on a reservation and then just started being like.
Starting point is 00:55:11 Yeah, I'm Native American. What are you? I'm Native American. Yeah. I haven't heard one of those like, yeah, I'm 10% Cherokee, like kind of white people in a while. I thought that was dying out. Elizabeth Warren made that tough for sure. I was going to say Cher, but
Starting point is 00:55:28 you know. Right. But then he said recently he said, quote, I've always had a pretty distinguishable look. Hell, it makes me easy to identify in a lineup. And you're like, because you're what? Because you claim to be a third or a half or whatever kind of
Starting point is 00:55:43 background you're trying to anyway so that man uh yeah he's hawking some kind of book and i think he's on to his seventh wife now and he just i think in the last two years he found out he had a 13th child that he didn't know about oh my god who was like a full-grown adult by the time they met so yeah he's he's doing all right he's doing all and his oldest son i think is in a jail for a hate crime so the family is doing quite killing yeah yeah literally in some cases he really does look like he's wearing a doug bounty hunter like halloween costume that's like out of the box like it does like not a very good one you know yeah yeah yeah it's a hard it's a hard look to rock like a leather shirt and wearing wraparound sunglasses
Starting point is 00:56:26 all the time. I'll say he's done a good job of matching his extensions to his natural hair color because usually you're talking about reality. He's got some brassy bone. He's got that kind of saggy Botox look. Saggy Botox.
Starting point is 00:56:43 This was once all tight and immovable all right and finally germany has passed a landmark trans rights law after legalizing weed earlier in the month uh we got another w for germany wow i can't remember when i mean they're nailing it 100 a plus germany no uh but they did become the latest country to pass legislation making it easier for transgender intersex and non-binary people to change their name and gender in official records it's the so-called self-determination law and they'd been promising it since 2021 yeah because the process before this is like you needed like a pathology, like you need to go through a pathologizing process for like an expert to figure out if it was like they're like, well, according to me, after I've asked them all kinds of weird questions, some completely irrelevant about asking about their childhoods or this or that. Like they are approved to change their name or gender on like official
Starting point is 00:57:46 government documents. So they've, they've, they've taken, they've done away with that, which, you know, apparently has been going on for many,
Starting point is 00:57:53 many years, four decades old. Yeah. Four decades old was the law before this. Yeah. I mean, that's still the way it is here in Georgia, you know,
Starting point is 00:58:02 and, uh, in a lot of places. So I'm happy to see it changing across the world but it sounds i mean it okay obviously this is something that was promised in 2021 but is this do we think that this is like a pr spin for germany and maybe again to kind of uh distract from their i'm not willing to hand it to Germany for a while. Yeah, for a while. Like I said, because it's...
Starting point is 00:58:27 I mean, the only news that I've seen out of Germany lately is them just basically doing this weird neo-form of Nazification, but in the name of Israel. And Germany is a very weird, fucked-up country that I do not fully like understand all of the uh i don't know i'm not like a history major or anything like that but like it it is very strange you can see it in a lot of their like cultural like stuff like there's a lot
Starting point is 00:58:57 of like guilt and there's a lot of like i can definitely see them like just look, I mean, there's a very you see this in America, too, where like nothing like take like the Black Lives Matter like movement, like, you know, like that was like a huge, huge thing. And what really happened, you know, Cleveland is voiced by a black person now, like, you know, like, like the only things that get changed are like minor social things that you can move the needle on we can't go after systemic things come on yeah yeah so like that's why like i mean it's true because there's also there was that thing too where for a while they were like in germany racism doesn't exist they're like oh yeah can we see the data on that they're like oh we don't have data on that yeah okay so that I don't know if you can quite claim that W. But yeah, at the same time, right, there was a pro palace, there's a meeting of like the Palestinian Congress, and all these people were coming in activists. And they were they were
Starting point is 00:59:57 stopping people from entering the country. And then when the event happened, like the police came in and broke it up. So yeah,, it's definitely like there's so many things. It's like the U.S. too, where you can point to these sort of narrow kind of victories. But even with the Supreme Court yesterday, they also kept on the, like basically said, yeah, Idaho is free to, quote, protect the children or whatever by banning gender affirming care for youth. So it's, you know know it's always like everything is kind of where we put the focus but yeah to your point janie it's like what the systemic stuff yeah yeah they do the one for you one for us and the one for us is always like you know yeah not
Starting point is 01:00:39 not that significant and doesn't actually like just a. Just like, oh, well, we have a rainbow flag in the Capitol building now or something. But we're legally codifying discrimination. You can change your name for when
Starting point is 01:00:59 we sign you up for the Hunger Games in America where you're forced into the most dangerous uh, like hunger games in America where you're, where you're forced into the most dangerous game battle Royale conscription. Right. Right. For being trans, you can pick your own,
Starting point is 01:01:12 uh, pronouns for that. Part of a deal with NBC. Yeah. This won't even be on TV. It'll be on Peacock though. It's the new, uh,
Starting point is 01:01:24 Mr. Beast video. We hunted 100 trans people to death. The amount of times that Twitter is just shoving that shit down my throat. Mr. Beast bullshit? Mr. Beast bullshit. What the fuck is going on with this? It's like, I created a thousand wells in Africa.
Starting point is 01:01:43 Yeah, I see that one all the time. The one before that was like, I locked a thousand people into a grocery store to see how long they could survive. And then the next one, like maybe did he like get bad PR for that previous one? So he's like, I made a thousand wells in Africa. Well, he does.
Starting point is 01:02:01 It's sort of what you just said, the one for you, one for me. Yeah, exactly. He does like little games and then he does ones It's sort of what you just said, the one for you, one for me. Yeah, exactly. He does, like, little games, and then he does ones that are just, like, charitable. Right. He's like, I bought everybody in Walmart everything they wanted. All right. Hot take here that you might not expect coming from me, but I don't, I kind of like Mr. B.
Starting point is 01:02:19 I think he may, I think if you're going to be, like, if you're going to be a rich person with the GDP of a small country in Central America, I think the least evil thing you can do is just make silly little games on YouTube and stuff. I don't know. At least you're building wells. Yeah. The videos of the one of the... I made a hundred different countries compete. Stuff like that.
Starting point is 01:02:44 It's fun. It's just fun little videos. I don't know. I feel like that's... As far as uber, uber, uber wealthy people go, I think if you're just making little games and videos and stuff, eh, you know, it's kind of fun.
Starting point is 01:02:59 And kids watch that. And they want to be Mr. Beast. They want to be somebody who gives out free LASIK free cochlear implants it's kind of cute they want to have their trans friend that they can
Starting point is 01:03:15 bury people alive with that's what we all want I liked the one where he handcuffed that guy to a pipe and was like if you want to leave you have to saw your own arm off yeah yeah i like that one too yeah it's just kind of but like you know there's a cynicism to it too because it's like this sort of like philanthropy via clicks sort of thing you know where it's like is it coming from a good place
Starting point is 01:03:41 too but then i guess at the end of the day if you're zooming out i wells no one's i i've i've like was just doing a search i'm like did he actually build the wells and i don't see anything saying that like that did not happen yeah so you know it's no i i totally agree i think there was a big thing about the one with the where he got like blind kids like bought them all like surgery to like oh like yeah not restoring surgery something with yeah yeah look i i don't i don't know i might be wrong on this but i don't think the problem is like him doing that i think that's fine like i agree about the senate the cynical nature of it but i think that the main kind of like takeaway is like there's a surgery that makes kids not blind and you don't just give it to kids like
Starting point is 01:04:27 right it takes this fucking asshole with a youtube channel to do it that's fucking crazy like yeah i think i do cringe though when i see those people go up to like street vendors and like they're just like hey i want to give you this money and then i look at camera and they're like hey look at what your boy did you know what i mean and so it yeah because the video's over all right give it back man give it back yeah no right because i mean like at the at the end of the day you know it's just like when you hear those quote-unquote feel-good stories about like how like a teacher was on a southwest flight and the person they were sitting next to overheard that they were struggling to get materials for their class so they anonymously donated whatever and you're like oh my gosh it's like a feel-good
Starting point is 01:05:09 band-aid for systemic problems yeah the story is actually about how little we're funding our public education or the story is about how little access to clean water people have and it's like everyone's like but mr beast though yeah so but i get it too like you know i've seen some of the stunts that he's pulling i'm like oh shit man you can't do that with a regular youtube channel like you need you need real money but i think that's what what's interesting too all those videos i've read though too like are sort of built on the backs of all these brand deals that he does prior to it yeah it's not a lot of times it might not be coming out of his pocket but anyway this is these are the complexities of our modern media mr Mr. Beast buried 100 people alive.
Starting point is 01:05:47 Brought to you by Lowe's. Brought to you by a caterpillar. Somebody needed to fill the space that Oprah left behind. Right. Yeah. You get a car. You get a car. Remember that, though?

It's a good movie from the, it's a German film from the late 70s that, yeah, I said some, I said some bad stuff about Germany, but they made some good movies. And I don't know, you know, there's something I'm not enjoying there's this video of a pink song that went around and i said i ratioed it like pretty badly where i said pink makes music for white gays that are in a tax bracket where they can legally own slaves i just i just want to say like i've mentioned this a few times because i've gotten
Starting point is 01:13:27 into a lot of kerfuffles on twitter um and i've gotten to a lot of kerfuffles with people that like i didn't expect had like like rabid shooters uh like writing for them and i gotta say pink has no shooters there's like no one fucking cares like it is like the first time i've ever like made fun of someone as like i'm not kidding maybe like five people gotten out of wow one of them is a gay man that is literally one of the most racist people I've ever seen in my life who did he made like a he did he screen recorded my music video and put the wrong curb your enthusiasm music over it and and started making your enthusiasm he started making fun of my friend austin because he thought that austin was me and austin was just the person that i got to play a person in the video and yeah i don't know i've been enjoying i've been enjoying torturing this one specific racist gay man for being stupid
Starting point is 01:14:40 and um you know honestly shout out to pink for only making music that is played in target and nowhere else and you know i just gotta respect that there's at least one artist out there you can always make fun of so yeah yeah yeah usually like yeah when when when something goes up like that you're like it's i I may potentially knock the hornet's nest. And you're like, oh, no, no. Like the time you can't really. No, it's crazy. Yeah.

This is crazy. There's been other examples, too. But yeah, just this whole Pink thing recently, I was like, huh, that turned out a lot better than I expected. Thank you, Pink.
Starting point is 01:15:42 Thanks for having a completely non-existent fan base and still being one of the most popular artists of all time somehow. That's got to respect that a little bit. But her aerial acrobatics are second to none. Shot out of a cannon. She can fly? Yeah, she'd be flying back and forth. They'd be slingshotting her. She'd be like, what's that song she sings?
