He's waking up at five in the morning to hit the gym and studying his lines. And even at the hotel, we were like, cause it was right in the heart of pandemic.

Starting point is 00:12:56 Well, I have been called a poor man's Mario Lopez because of my performance at the iHeart Podcast Awards. I replaced Mario Lopez one year because he was too busy to do it. And the one review of the show was like, last year's Mario Lopez was replaced by some guy in a jean jacket. Oh. It was just, they just ripped all my wardrobe.
Starting point is 00:13:19 I was like, damn. Is it the same jean jacket you're wearing right now? Same ass. Yeah, I only got one, man. He knew you were coming. I'm not the rich man's Mario Lopez. CJ. He wore that to kind of tie in the Mario Lopez story.
Starting point is 00:13:31 Yeah, yeah. I just wanted to see if you were going to say I was the poor man's Mario Lopez. Funny, my man, that you mentioned him. All right, Frankie, we're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First, we're going to tell our listeners a couple of the things we're talking about today. At first, we're going to tell our listeners a couple of the things we're talking about today. People are asking about, like, price checks, like, you know, some sort of price limit on gas. I'm asking about it on flights now because the Wall Street Journal has an article today that's like,
Starting point is 00:14:02 man, airlines have found people will pay for fucking anything. So they're going to just keep charging you through your asshole and it's like written as like a good news for airlines type of story and so i just want to ask the question like why corporations can just charge whatever they want to the point that they're like driving a wave of inflation and as they're like pulling in record profits so we'll ask that we'll have a conversation i'm in no way smart enough to have we will talk about this segment called calculations what's up with that there's a a new variant just dropped we might check in with that we'll talk about the audacity of hate groups all of that plenty more but first frankie we do like to ask our guest what is something from your search history oh yeah i was
Starting point is 00:14:52 it was funny as i i didn't even know i was like i haven't had to look up my search history and then this morning when i was like oh i need to know that i looked up i mean i just googled google search history and then my search history popped up. There you go. But it was funny. I saw it. I saw it out there like a couple of days ago. I Googled the David Archuleta.
Starting point is 00:15:11 You remember that little homie from American Idol? He was all like that. Oh, hey. Oh, you know, like. Right, right, right, right. A little young, cute homie. But I don't know why. I was just like, man, what does that pull up to?
Starting point is 00:15:23 I don't know why I thought of him. Yeah, yeah. And I looked it up and yeah, he's still out there doing it right yeah you know you remember i'm talking about right yeah dude it's like he just had one just you know one of those people who had a very specific moment and then gone yeah yeah what's he up to yeah i looked it up and i was like he seemed like he was gonna pop because he was a came in second place you know usually like the top five or whatever got something but he did drop like a record and he went on uh you know his like mormon missionary thing for two years uh so he would just out the game for two whole years okay and then he did went and did that which i kind of respect that you know and. And then he came back and, yeah, he's still doing like little tours and stuff.
Starting point is 00:16:06 So he's out there, man. Man. For a second, I thought you said, like, you're talking about the football player, Adam Archuleta. And I was like, oh, I remember him when he was on the Rams. There was this clip. I remember my friends would talk about how his hamstrings were so strong, like he could like lift himself up from like a lying position just using his hamstring. Yeah, we were like yo this is fucking wild anyway like he's all like right risen from the dead yeah just like
Starting point is 00:16:30 you're like oh shit no no i'd like to see david archuleta try that shit okay yeah yeah yeah who's it's not a competition yeah like i was searching Adam Archuleta, actually, and he is stronger. He has stronger hamstrings. David Archuleta got the good-ass hair, but he don't have hamstrings like that, though. Exactly. I mean, so when he was on American Idol, he was like a child, right? It was like a Bieber type thing? Yeah, it was like when he first saw him, yeah him yeah he was like and he was but he started
Starting point is 00:17:05 playing into the like oh i'm the little cute homie like a little too hard it started kind of getting cheesy like across the line from like oh man's too super likable to like all right homie come on they would ask questions like hey so you know what do you think about your friend ah well you know like uh you know you, it was like, calm down, homie. Right. They're like, thank you. Right. We get it to a point. He's 30 now.
Starting point is 00:17:31 He's in his 30s. Yeah. I wonder how that shit plays now. Probably not good. If you're like rubbing your mitts, like, well, you know. Why would you think you qualify for this bank loan? You know. Well, you know.
Starting point is 00:17:42 Yeah. You know, I just. I work hard. I love my family my family see what my net worth is i mean it seems like a pretty safe loan for you guys i don't know i wonder if anyone's ever done a list of like careers that are interrupted by the mormon mission like the sacrifices that people put in for that because like sean Sean Bradley, right? He was going to be one of the top picks. He was still like number two, but he was number two coming off of his Mormon mission. Like, remember?
Starting point is 00:18:16 He was like, he stopped playing basketball to do his mission. Yeah. I just remember writing Sean Bradley off pretty quickly. I'm sorry that's what just what i did like this guy is too tall and the best he'll do b is like a monster in space yeah yeah i think i remember i think i heard on a basketball podcast they all like run together in my head but like somebody's saying that like when you look at his metrics on defense he he's like one of the best to ever do it but he was just very like quick
Starting point is 00:18:47 quick moment when he was peak yeah what is what's something you think is overrated like tv shows and shit but i don't want to like you know yeah yeah i mean like the big bank theories all that shit or even though i mean you guys might love big bank theory i don't know miles kind of but between my holiday movie consumption no don't fuck with the bbt that's big theory i think is extra like probably like it's hard for people who work in comedy because it is the comedy that like most relatives are like oh you are doing comedy dude do you love the big bang theory my mom and dad they love big bang theory and they're from like the hood and shit and they're like not me we love big bang theory i'm like what the fuck yeah and my parents yeah yeah but it's it's
Starting point is 00:19:43 funny though when it's on and you're there i'll still like giggle at it and stuff but i'm like damn this is the number one thing it's got like no like you know me right no steez and shit but but i can't you know it's all one love shit i don't want to hate on it yeah i like that the the surprise in miles's face when we revealed our parents love Big Bang Theory because Miles has cool parents. That's an underrated thing about Miles is like he comes from a very cool background so he doesn't know what it's like to have
Starting point is 00:20:12 parents be like, oh, comedy? Oh, shit, man. They're like, comedy? Yo, you better check out Fry and Lori. And I'm like, what? Steve Fry and Lori? This was him before House. I'm like, what the fuck? No. I will keep watching and Living Color reruns.
Starting point is 00:20:29 Oh, yeah. I love Living Color. Yeah. What's something you think is underrated? Oh, fucking, the thing I just came up on recently was toilet seat warmers. Wow. Game changer, homie. And you could get some for like, you know, 30, 40 bucks.
Starting point is 00:20:44 You can get the whole bidet seat warmer set up for under 100 bucks. My girlfriend's brother, like, came and installed some. And it changed my whole world. And I'm like, damn, how come everybody doesn't have one of these? Yeah. And it's not a big commitment or nothing. It's just a little thing you attach to the bottom of your, you know, the rim. Right.
Starting point is 00:21:04 It's not someone you pay to do that, to come sit on your toilet before you have to the bottom of your you know the rim right and uh it's not someone you pay to do that to come sit on your toilet before you have to go i come up off this man i gotta go right like ding dong ah go open the door for the toilet seat warmer yeah he's here before we have our coffee and shit yeah right oh man yeah the the toilet seat warmer because you know a lot i think one of the big things right came i'm pretty sure it came from japan i'm half japanese and i know like when my family over there was talking about how like in the winter the toilet seat would be so cold like elderly people if they had to like you know sit on the toilet and like in the middle of the night or something
Starting point is 00:21:42 the shock from the temperature change would be like, Oh, like would be so much for people that they're like, we need to actually have a way for people to go in a cold environment and not sit down on straight ice and like comfortably be able to use the bathroom. Growing up in LA, I never had really the experience of a frozen toilet seat, but there is something nice when it's like, I don't have to adjust. Okay. I'm just, I'm in here and it's comfortable it's like getting into bed i just got out of yeah yeah it's man i didn't yeah i never even thought about it and then i'm like damn it's so inexpensive and it's so comfortable yeah you just keep it out to a sheet one of the sponsors i think yeah do not yeah they were they
Starting point is 00:22:19 were sponsored for a while i think they sent us a toad seat warmer that i have yet to install so i might need to get your brother-in-law's number yeah well for those you just got to make sure you have an electrical outlet by your toilet which is kind of tough because most people in the u.s don't build an outlet like right behind their toilet right which is kind of like the seamless way to do this if you know if you want to do a seamless you know a little yeah electrician light electrician work to put a little yeah you gotta you gotta sometimes get a little slick extension cord from the blow dryer outlet. Right.
Starting point is 00:22:49 Keep it right by the shower and be like, don't get that shit wet. Just a generator. Just have a generator in there with you. Just rip that cord. Jenny. You're like, man, I can't really take a shit with the door closed because I'll die from the funeral
Starting point is 00:23:06 so uh it's kind of it's kind of a tough one yeah we have a toilet that has like a small window in there like a little separate like room for the toilet with like a small window and i caught myself like you know with the window open making noise as people were going by not like making noise like oh but you know like fl you know, like flushing the toilet. Like flushing the toilet. Oh, okay. And, like, you're like, oh, man, like, people on the street can definitely hear that shit. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:33 It's like walking by and hearing shit, just hearing my bathroom noises. There he goes again. There he goes again. Try prune juice, man. Straining in there. Yeah. All right. Let's take a quick break and then we'll come back.

This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago when President
Starting point is 00:26:11 Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today. And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore. The story of one strange and violent summer.

Starting point is 00:27:08 All you need to do is record everything like you always do. One session. 24 hours. BPM 110. 120. She's terrified. Should we wake her up? Absolutely not.
Starting point is 00:27:23 What was that? You didn't figure it out? I think I need to hear you say it. That was live audio of a woman's nightmare. This machine is approved and everything? You're allowed to be doing this? We passed the review board a year ago. We're not hurting people.
Starting point is 00:27:39 There's nothing dangerous about what you're doing. They're just dreams. Dream Sequence is a new horror thriller from Blumhouse Television, iHeartRadio, and Realm. Listen to Dream Sequence on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. and we're back and you know this is something that we we've talked about throughout the period of inflation that we're going through the fact that the inflation is being driven by corporations being like i don't know they they just keep paying and then coming out like bragging about it and they're like quarterly earnings reports just being like we had record profits this quarter because we charged and you guys
Starting point is 00:28:32 aren't going to believe this we just charged more money and people paid it they're like yeah i love it thank you genius just squeeze them till they're dry as fuck. That's all. Yeah. So we're seeing, you know, gas prices are crazy high right now. And that's fucking squeezing people. Now, flights are crazy, super duper expensive, more so than they already were. And those are two things that economists call inelastic demand. Like, that's when you need to drive, like, you need to drive. Like, we built these things into our lives so it's not like a thing where you're just like well i'm gonna take the
Starting point is 00:29:11 other you're like well i'm off this food shit because it's expensive yeah exactly food like the staples but also like in modern america like flying to go see your family like we moved like my nearest family is like 2 700 miles away and you know i like during the pandemic i didn't see them in a long time so right yeah and there's no cost you'd pay at that point you'd be like fuck bro i haven't seen my family like what what what does it cost because that's right there's and i think yeah because so many people have the mentality of like there's nothing i wouldn't do to see my family or whatever. And I'm sure the airlines are like, do something. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:51 How about like $800 flight from Burbank to Phoenix? Yeah. Exactly. Wait, what the fuck? From Burbank to Phoenix? $800. Yeah. You'll do that shit, right?
Starting point is 00:30:01 You love your family, right? Right. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, you'll do that shit, right? You love your family, right? Right. Yeah, exactly. And they're also just canceling flights, like, straight up. Which I thought that happened when we were going back to see my dad for his 70th birthday.
Starting point is 00:30:14 Like, five days before the flight, the airline just emailed us and was like, hey, we canceled that flight. Our bad. Right. That's it. Yeah, yeah. We canceled that flight. Our bad. Right.
Starting point is 00:30:23 That's it. Like, so we have to, you know, and I thought, again, like, this is them dealing with something that's, like, out of their control. But I'm just going to read you the two opening paragraphs from this Wall Street Journal article. And I'm only going to read the two opening paragraphs because I'm not paying for the fucking Wall Street Journal. I know. I saw you clip this out into the doc. I'm like, the text is fading.
Starting point is 00:30:45 Yeah, the text is fading under a paywall. Hey, you know, the trick, though, is just when you Google search, look for the cached version. Yeah, I was looking for that. And then a little paywall hack for you. Works on most places. Anyways, airlines said surging travel appetite
Starting point is 00:31:01 will offset higher fuel prices, keeping them on track for a long-anticipated recovery. After the wave of Omicron variant, blah, blah, blah, slowed down travel bookings, airline executives said demand has roared back more quickly
Starting point is 00:31:15 than they anticipated. As a result, and this is the key part, carriers expect to be able to absorb higher jet fuel costs by paring back flying capacity, canceling people's flights, and passing the costs along to customers passing the costs along to customers so that's just them being like yeah we're not paying that shit but you will apparently and this this is part of a
Starting point is 00:31:39 positive story this is in the wall street journal so it's all about the investors yeah stock price but yeah it's basically them being like good news gang people are so starved to see their loved ones that we're able to charge them just painful amounts of money and the airline industry is once again cleared for takeoff oh boy fuck y'all yeah it's the ending of that says once again cleared for takeoff right get y'all for y'all money and shit right it reminds me like when i used to sell weed to like rich white kids around the time like medical weed was out i'm like i'm gonna just see how much they'll fucking pay for this shit and normally people be like i'm not paying more than like fifty dollars for like an eighth and i'm like what about a hundred and they're like is it from
Starting point is 00:32:24 the club the cannabis club oh yeah yeah yeah this is from the club i'll put it like a jar and shit and they're like oh yeah a hundred dollars i'm like holy shit put it in a jar make it look all legit yeah i know i'm like it's like the same greedy ass mentality i mean it wasn't really greedy for me you know i'm just i'm an entrepreneur in that context but like for these companies where they are actually like sort of built on providing some kind of service. Like it really is sort of like they're just dialing it up to see, OK, when will it break? Like how much can I how much more can I charge people for gas? How much more can I charge them for a flight until the wheels really come off?
Starting point is 00:32:55 Because, yeah, people are taking this added cost on. But that's not sustainable because wages are not going up. not sustainable because wages are not going up so you can only sustain this amount of shit being more expensive until you know it it reaches a real crisis point and i know there are yeah tough people are like we can't pay this shit yeah and so i'm curious what yeah i mean i guess that's why we even bring this story up it's like when how can it be all right but the the issue is that like nobody has that conversation because the only place this conversation is had is like I found a CNN business article that was like price controls. And again, I want to just read a direct quote. 70s could reduce inflation over the next year. Less than a quarter of economists surveyed said they agree, while nearly 60 percent said they disagree or strongly disagree. And then this is a quote. Just stop it. Seriously. That's from Austin Goolsbee, a professor at the University
Starting point is 00:33:57 of Chicago. Goolsbee previously served as chairman of the Council of Economics Advisors under former President Barack Obama. And then just they go on to say, like, everybody thinks price controls are stupid. And like they quote this piece of economic accepted wisdom that demand would or supply would go away if you did price controls. But so again, caping for the corporations and that's like i don't know because then they might stop making this stuff right exactly if you just ask them to do it at the same price as they were charging like a couple weeks ago yeah they'd stop man they can't do it anymore they'd shut their fucking business down before making prices lower like it's
Starting point is 00:34:42 sort of the subtext there it's's like, they'll fucking burn it down if they start being, like, charging. Gas just won't be available, man. Yeah. I don't know what you're going to do then. You got a bike? Yeah, but it's just, like,
Starting point is 00:34:55 pass the pain on to the consumer is sort of, you know, like, we talk a lot about how America's all about consumerism, but what it's really about is corporations and protecting corporations. And that's that's the only thing that they really give a fuck about. shit but it just seems like it's everywhere and it's places where people are like can't not use the service you know so many people like drive for their job like how the fuck are they gonna just you can't pick somebody up an uber on the public bus as far as i know so like i don't know it's just like the idea of like planes like yeah we'll pass the cost on the con pass the cost to
Starting point is 00:35:44 the consumer it's like getting a ride from somebody like they're like, Hey man, you got to put in on my car note. I took you somewhere and I know you gave me gas money, but there's, there's some like other separate. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, man. Cause you know, I, I kind of went wild with the rim package on this accord. So, you know, just trying to pull together, but whatever we can do but i mean it's funny because all the people they ask like you go to jacobin or something or something more leftist like on their website they're they're actually putting out articles they're like price controls can work sorry if this offends economists right just like really putting it out there but yeah you're not going to hear that on like news stations that like right
Starting point is 00:36:25 after you're not going to slam like united airlines and then have the united airlines ad playing right yeah anyways yeah the rich just get richer and the people who are living life propelled around by like the threat of starvation get just a little bit more panicked and that's that's sort of the the model as of now as far as i can tell and the prices have pushed like over 60 of the country to be living paycheck to paycheck now because of how much prices are going up and i think that you know but again but then the companies will make less if there's price controls. Like, where the fuck, where is this empathy going? Right. Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:37:08 Like, when the money goes to people, like, with the, you know, payments that people got during the early days of the pandemic, that was, like, a fucking scandal. And everybody was like, there was fraud. There was all this shit. But, like, that's. There was more fraud with that PPP shit. Right. Yeah. People pretend to be business.
Starting point is 00:37:28 Like the fraud was really like some of these business owning type people. Not to say that everyone was not doing it right. But I see plenty of articles going up about flagrant PPP schemes from people. Buying Lamborghinis and shit. Like it's crazy. Yeah. But like corporations doing that shit too. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:44 All right. let's talk about the new variant i mean it's not it's still omicron it's like omicron ba2 i feel like they're just in an effort to make it less catchy they're just giving it a shitty name they're just like yeah maybe people that's a good idea like yeah yeah So this one, it's also being described as like the UK variant because that's where it was first discovered. But it's 85% of cases in Scotland right now. And it's all over Houston already and probably everywhere else. It's just Houston is the only one that's testing their wastewater for it at the moment. I mean, you know, I've seen what the president said.
Starting point is 00:38:26 The pandemic's over, so we're good. You know? Yeah, yeah. No worries. No need to worry. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what they said. They're forcing people to go back to work.
Starting point is 00:38:34 Don't worry about this variant. That's more contagious. But it's less deadly. Come on, you scared? You scared of long COVID or something? That's the energy that so many people have right now. It's like, yeah, I am. I don't want to potentially have long COVID.
Starting point is 00:38:51 That would be terrible. Yeah, and I got a four-year-old who's still unvaccinated, and we just like, you never know. But those are his beliefs. That's right. He is anti-vax. He just listens to a lot of Rogan. Yeah, four-year-old. Rogan and, you know. Yes.
Starting point is 00:39:05 Because he knows that he's that echo. He starts playing podcasts whenever he wants. Yeah, I don't think the people at Pfizer said a fourth boost, like a fourth shot is probably going to be necessary to this. I don't know. I don't know how you can, on one hand, try and push all this energy around, like all the pandemic's over, back to work. Like, come on, everybody, get your heads out.
Starting point is 00:39:28 But then also be like, yeah, there's a new variant in town. It's already in Houston, taking over the UK. Also, you might need another booster, but the pandemic is over, y'all. Yeah. Get back to work. Yeah. I do feel like they're not talking about it that much also. Like, that's another strategy is you're just not hearing that much about it.
Starting point is 00:39:47 And you know what? The crisis in Ukraine has given a lot of opportunity to not talk about anything domestically that's happening at all. You know, like, there's definitely a lot of focus on, you know, like, the foreign affairs because that's obviously going to get more people to tune in because it's like you know it's war so people are just drawn to destruction and shit but yeah we're not seeing many stories about like you know regular people trying to survive while you know the people who are like at the levers of decision making are just deciding yep don't worry about the prices pulling thating that lever. And also, pandemic off. Right. Yeah, yeah. All right. Let's take a quick break and we'll come back and talk about Proud Boys.

Starting point is 00:42:44 the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today. And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore. The story of one strange and violent summer.

And we're back. enrique tarrio lead proud boy was indicted last week what was it what's what are we learning from him i mean i i know he's not he's not talking about shit and he
Starting point is 00:44:58 probably covered his tracks very well right oh you know you know how these these haters move and went by haters i mean hate groups move you know they you know how these these haters move and went by haters. I mean, hate groups move. You know, they were charged with conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding. And, you know, again, like you're saying, I thought they were on top of their shit. Well, it seems like, you know, Enrique Terrio's ego was the biggest thing to lead to his downfall at the moment because like roger stone enrique also had a fucking documentary crew following him around in the lead up to january 6th so he has this shit all on wax and for those fortunate enough to not have the lead up to january 6th just broiled into their minds like me terrio was was arrested on January 4th in D.C.
Starting point is 00:45:45 for burning a BLM banner in front of a church. I think he also had some high capacity magazines, which he wasn't like legally supposed to have on him. So he was arrested. And then the next day on the 5th, they said, you need to get the fuck out of D.C. That's part of this. You cannot be in the district.
Starting point is 00:45:59 He's like, OK. And guess what? He didn't. He went to a little meeting. So this is from a write upup about what had gone on. Terrio was released at approximately 5 p.m. on January 5th after having been ordered to leave the district. Terrio did not immediately comply. Instead, he traveled to an underground parking garage located in downtown D.C., where for approximately 30 minutes he met with a group of individuals that included Elmer Stewart Rose III, the founder and leader of the oath keepers a documentary crew was present in the
Starting point is 00:46:25 garage and at one point picked up audio of a person referencing the capital while in the parking garage terryl told another individual that he had cleared all of the messages on his phone before he was arrested terryl further stated that no one would be able to get into his phone because there were two steps to get into it damn damn that's that's cool too you admit to destruction of evidence too and your mixtape so yeah he it's it didn't turn out that uh his opsec his operational security uh was was that strong because the feds apparently they're good at getting information that you think no but i put two-step authentication on my phone yeah the fbi can't find this shit they're gonna have to have my burner phone too because then the two step goes to that phone they're like okay what's this shit though that dude is a character too man
Starting point is 00:47:15 he has like if you read up on him he's like was living with his mom he has like these failed businesses for like some random ass products i forgot what what it was, but I'm like, oh man, this dude is just not happy with life in general. No, no, not at all. And he's, you know, so right now he's awaiting, you know, a judge to decide whether or not he'll be released on bail. The feds are like, keep this dude in custody until we figure all this shit out.
Starting point is 00:47:40 So we'll see what happens. But this is just the kind of story that you see over and over, right? Like since January 6th and even even beyond like these white nationalists, they're so hopped up on their like invincibility, like societally that they're, they're, they're going to bring a documentary crew to document this shit.
Starting point is 00:47:56 Like that, your mindset is truly, man, they can't do shit with this. That's not going to be a crime. In fact, this is going to be an Emmy winningwinning documentary or some shit. Because Roger Stone did the same thing, and now people are like,
Starting point is 00:48:07 there's so much shit in these documentary tapes, but this hubris that these people move around with, and it shows. That's why they tried to pull that shit on January 6th. Because they're like, my whiteness, my allegiance to conservative politics will protect me. Right. I love that.
Starting point is 00:48:24 Because you know they got the underground parking garage from a movie right like that's that's all the presidents man casino yeah satellites can't get us there yeah satellites can't get us like they can't listen to us down concrete we're surrounded and meanwhile they have a fucking documentary film crew with them as they're doing that shit is just so great because then it looks like the scene from the movie they got inspired by uh one of the most important parts of this revolution is mise en scene we want to make sure that the the back like everything in the frame really captures how real we are about this whole thing can we do it in like one take
Starting point is 00:49:03 one long masterclass just take a really great shot kind of like you know paul thomas anderson like or the opening of snake eyes yeah they gotta try to get all artsy with it yeah try a dutch angle when i'm when i'm uh putting on this swastika armband it's cool i destroyed the evidence oh sorry can i take that again it's cool i destroyed the evidence my bad you got that right all right we're good yeah terry was talking to the other oath keepers he's like you know let's do that one more time for you the dude with the eye patch can you be a little more growly in your voice when you say the capital is gonna be ours just something like that okay let's take that yeah let's go back to one real quick. Can we actually make you the leader
Starting point is 00:49:46 guy with the eye patch? Because you actually look evil as fuck. Oh, that's my assistant. That's actually my assistant. No, no, no. He needs to be the leader. Get the fuck out of here. We need the guy with an eye patch. Or could you put an eye patch on? Actually, let's wrap you out. Let's wrap you out right now.
Starting point is 00:50:00 Hey, everybody clap for him. Hey, hey, all right. Yeah. you out right now because I don't think everybody clap for him that's my theory behind how they got that eyepatch dude that guy couldn't look more like a bad guy really the dude with the eyepatch
Starting point is 00:50:21 nothing wrong nothing against people with eye patches. No, but he's trying to look like a 99-cent store version of a Marvel villain. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. He's leaning into the eye patch look for sure. Can you imagine if the gossip comes out? They're like, and that ain't even a real eye patch. He does it for a fact.
Starting point is 00:50:38 That motherfucker has 20-20 vision. Right. Why do you think he always has trouble finding them doorknobs? Because depth perception is all messed up because he's not used to that eye patch. Do we know the backstory for how he lost his eye? Wasn't it something silly? Dropped a loaded handgun and it shot out his eye. He was like juicing or something?
Starting point is 00:50:57 No, he literally dropped a handgun, I think. Damn. Anyways, gun safety, y'all. And he was a former weapons instructor who dropped a handgun and shot himself in the face. Wait, that's a true story? Yeah, yeah. That's actually how it happened. What an idiot.
Starting point is 00:51:13 Dude, all these guys are just fucking... Hey, man. I mean, it happens to the best of us, right? To be fair, we've all dropped a loaded handgun while deriding a bunch of middle-aged women about how they need to have trigger discipline. We've all dropped a loaded handgun and shot our own eye out. Yeah. He could have taken notes from Jamie Lee Curtis in True Lies. Remember, she dropped that Mac-10 down the stairs and hit everybody in that room.
Starting point is 00:51:38 Yo, that movie has some of the wildest like handgun uh or automatic weapons like that she drops a she drops a uzi and it doesn't just fire once it's it continual continuously fires a full clip just because it's like hitting a bunch of stairs there's a couple when i'm like i think she could it looked like it was pointed at her when the shots went off going back up the stairs in my mind i would always watch that scene. I'm like, where are those bullets actually going? Yeah. But it's neither here nor there.
Starting point is 00:52:10 And hit her. James Cameron. One of the best. Shout out to James Cameron. Shout out to James Cameron. He's a young, young film director that I think people should pay more attention to. He's got a, he's got a small film coming out called Avatar 2. Oh, is that James Cameron's work?
Starting point is 00:52:26 Oh, that's what's up. Yeah. Oh, that's a Cameron joint? Damn. I had no idea. He's really doing big things, huh? You know, he also did Titanic. No.
Starting point is 00:52:36 That's what's why. Yeah. That's the one with the boat, right? Right. Boat. The boat one? Death boat. He did the boat one?
Starting point is 00:52:44 It's otherwise known as death boat. He did Leo's Deathboat. Wow. All right. I do those of us who watch shitty Russian action movies, you could have seen this one coming. Well, okay. I had not seen this, but our writer, JM, took a look at a couple Russian action movies from the past year. And there was a Russian movie that came out called, I'm not going to try and pronounce it, but it translates to Blazing Sun or Sunbaked. That's named after a rocket launcher. And it's about Russia's 2014 invasion of Crimea and very much intended to just like every piece of Russia's current narrative that they're trying to denazify Ukraine was in this movie. Like, yeah, that's basically the whole thing. They went in there and a Ukrainian Nazi military state was going to basically kill everybody, kill all of the Ukrainian people and the Russians. What's the name what's
Starting point is 00:54:05 the name of this movie it's called blazing sun or sunbaked is what it translates to but it's uh yeah yeah sons of puke uh sons of puke blazing sun yeah yeah but it was kind of ake. Sons of Puke. Okay, Blazing Sun. Yeah, yeah. But it was kind of a hit. And one of the guys behind the movie is a Russian oligarch who's one of Putin's main dudes. A lot of Russian oligarchs are just people Putin allowed to get rich because he liked them. His nickname in Russia is Putin's Chef.
Starting point is 00:54:44 But he was basically the main person behind the movie. And also the troll farm, the Internet Research Agency. Yeah. Like everything that we was like, what's all this shit from 2016? It's like, yep, that's Progozhin. Yeah, Progozhin. There you go.
Starting point is 00:55:00 I'll let you pronounce all the Russian words first. But yeah, it's wild because like because of how controlled the messaging is like apparently a lot of the interest in this movie came from the this oligarch's involvement like because he's like tight with putin and like putin controls all all things and all information. The fact that, like, one of his main dudes was making a movie was apparently, like, a big selling point for this movie. Oh, interesting. But, yeah, I mean, you know, JM points out that this is another way that it's easy to see the U.S. playbook at work in what Russia is doing right now. Like not long after 9-11, the Bush administration launched an effort to, they had David Fincher, the guy who wrote Die
Starting point is 00:55:52 Hard and a producer of Chuck Norris's war classics like Missing in Action and Delta Force One. Like they had a meeting at the Pentagon where they were like trying to put together a movie that would be i can't imagine a movie like that would be more friendly to the pentagon than zero dark 30 so i'm assuming eventually eventually got there and they just erased their involvement in that one but right i mean yeah that movie was like didn't did just wonders for PR of CIA black sites. You're like, I mean, they got the answers. So is it really are they violating like war crime statutes or is this against the Geneva? I don't know, man.
Starting point is 00:56:35 They figured it out, though. Shout out. Yeah, they definitely figured it out. Yeah. Good marketing, everything. Right. Gets people to sign up and be in the military. Right. And also, yeah, isn't that that was the first uh that was like the ciaification of chris pratt right
Starting point is 00:56:51 chris pratt or john krasinski who's isn't isn't chris pratt one of the delta guys in it oh yeah oh yeah yeah yeah cfcia shit no yeah i like, they talk about all the time how much, like, look at how much they took, like, Krasinski and Chris Pratt go from, like, being the lovable guys on NBC Thursday's comedy lineup between The Office and Parks and Rec. And, like, became, like, these sort of very likable everyman characters into now, like, the embodiment of, like, you know, American macho war shit. the embodiment of American macho war shit. Hey, all I know is Krasinski's 6'4 and pure muscle and he could kick your ass. So just shut the fuck up. I'll fuck John Krasinski up. What about Adam Marchaletta and Krasinski?
Starting point is 00:57:37 Who would win that one? Oh my, just on hamstring strength alone? Come on now. Beat him with his hamstrings. That was a tweet by John Krasinski on a Berner account, which I always love to bring up. Telling everybody. Sixth war, pure muscle.
Starting point is 00:57:54 I mean, look. Cool. Who's CIA trained? Or no, I think he said he was Navy SEAL trained. So you maybe want to shut the fuck up. Or do go find him and see what happens, dude. no i think he said he was navy seal trained so you maybe want to shut the fuck up or go sound or do go find him and see what happens dude saying i'm navy seal train is the kind of shit people who get knocked out at bars that's what they say right before they get knocked out hey you're like you're
Starting point is 00:58:16 serious bro you want to do this i'm navy seal train dude boom yeah somebody said shut the fuck up the fuck out my cousin's face man so you know the the fact that russia is using this rationale that they invented and then added to this movie to get people on board another echo of that in the u.s is that like one of the intelligence reports that they used to prove to themselves that there were WMDs in Iraq was a loose description of scenes from the movie The Rock. Like legitimately. Yeah, they pulled like they pulled some piece of British intelligence where they were just like putting pressure on everyone. You know, come up with like some story about WMDs in Iraq. Like, we just need this evidence.
Starting point is 00:59:05 We don't care if it's true or not. And somebody cooked up this thing that was basically the nerve agents in a glass sphere, glass beads or spheres. Somebody wrote a description of that. And the CIA, the people who weren't part of the war war plan were like, yo, that's from the rock. Like that. Nerve agents don't come in little glass beads like that would be stupid to carry them in that.
Starting point is 00:59:38 That's very unstable. And millions of deaths later, we can now talk about it and laugh there's i mean i was just thinking of that scene there like there's like such a that's one of my well not my favorite but a line that always sticks out to me in the rock where nick cage like glass or plastic glass or plastic is it a glass ball or like he's trying to find out what the vx gas is contained in but damn i don't think that would just resonate so much to the point like yeah let's uh let's completely justify an invasion with scenes from the rock right how about like metal or like something that's harder to that
Starting point is 01:00:18 doesn't crack open and kill everybody in a city if you drop it by accident so yeah like yeah, like I'm not going to describe all the atrocities in this, but it's basically everybody who's Ukrainian in this movie is like a cartoon demon. There's also a Russian military or a, I guess it's a piece of satire that's about how the Internet Research Agency accidentally caused, swayed the 2016 U.Ss presidential election in trump's favor and they created wow big yeah which i mean that's kind of like the way to tell that story i guess right would be like that is right right dumb as fuck and but anyways the like in order to publicize that movie first of all they created a fake Twitter account claiming that the NYPD shut down a screening of the movie at Angelica Film Center in New York, which never happened.
Starting point is 01:01:13 They also allegedly bought cameo videos from Donald Trump Jr. and Rudy Giuliani congratulating the fictional character from the movie, who happens to be a six-year-old child who outwits the entire fbi and destroys american democracy and they first of all like giuliani and donald trump jr were just like sure yeah you you pay the 75 bucks like what what is it what is their cameo cost like the fact that they're just willing to fucking sell the country i mean for i i think it rudy's there there's sell the country i mean for i i think rudy's there there's there's like a couple hundred bucks i think you can get both for 600 and that still wasn't the dumbest 100 000 giuliani has said on cameo wow so they really thanked a cartoon character or a fictitious character for tv who yeah wow we love to see it who in a movie helps them win the election which is like the thing that they're
Starting point is 01:02:05 like crazy never impossible they're like uh what is this cameo you did i didn't know that hey man art imitates oh shit actually don't say that what percentage of the things that have happened to him over the past 10 years do you think rudy giuliani remembers at this point like i i feel like he's been pretty drunk for since 9-11 maybe he looks so gnarly now he looks like yeah yeah what's going on that dude's hair right just sweating out black i mean when he's just I don't know. It's hard to know because he has like he'll he'll remember weird talking points when he has to be like nimble. I use that air loosely, like mentally nimble to be able to like have some kind of argument with someone.
Starting point is 01:02:58 But I don't know. I don't know. It's hard to know with him. Yeah. Me sweating out black ink you know i feel like trump told him about amphetamines that's my other theory that like oh no like because like because of all the sweating because the way his like he's the he's like just always he can just like talk talk talk talk talk stay drunk but like not so drunk that he's like slurring
Starting point is 01:03:23 usually that much. Right. I feel like Trump might've got him on the, uh, on the old amphetamine bandwagon. You're like poor Rudy getting caught up with him. Look what happened. All right. Well, Frankie, as always such a pleasure having you on TDZ. Where can people, uh, find you and follow you?

But also, yeah, there was a tweet or some of the work of social media you've been enjoying? Yeah. I read this crazy headline I was reading. But also, yeah, there was a tweet that I saved. I thought it was funny. It's from this dude, Ramzi Badawi. But it says, under any emergency contact section, I always write, please just let me die. DNR, baby, DNR.

You don't need to make shit green right now. Take the emphasis somewhere else. Another tweet I like is from Justin Boldaji. At Justin Boldaji tweeted,
Starting point is 01:06:20 Aragorn saying to Legolas, what do your elf eyes see? Feels a little racist. Just ask him if he sees anything. That's amazing. Let's see. Tweets I've been enjoying. This is just a good idea.
Starting point is 01:06:37 Again, from Noah Garfinkel. He tweeted, furniture stores should turn into bars at night. Yeah, they should. That is a good-ass idea. You have to put the little plastic coverings over them, though. And then Carly Marulli tweeted, why would I want furniture from a century

Starting point is 01:07:20 might enjoy miles what song do you think people might enjoy man more liam bailey uh that album ecundio is really good if you like reggae you should really check this song out because it's like it's it's done so well and it's he's not just doing reggae but there's this track on here called fight which is really dope because if you listen to reggae there's like this thing called the bubble on the organ which is like you're kind of used to hearing that in all reggae music in and a lot of his music he's replacing the like the organ bubble with just like muted guitar strumming so you get these like elements of like reggae but they come out in these like more like percussive ways and it's really dope this track is one of those ones where the bubble has been replaced with a little muted acoustic guitar strumming. And so yes,
Starting point is 01:08:05 please listen to fight by Liam. Does he do cover songs? Is that, he might be doing covers. I mean, I've barely gotten through all of his work. Like I'm just listening to this one album over and over, but he seems to be pretty prolific,
