Hello, the internet and welcome to this episode of romancing the trend or a page from dofay's local cafeteria um wait did you do you remember romancing the stone the movie i saw it like very young in a hotel i think when i was like too young and i think like whenever it first came on hbo or something is when i saw it and i was like i don't
Starting point is 00:02:46 understand any of this i remember there being a part where they're like sliding down a muddy hill and yeah i was like oh it's like a a water slide. This is like grown-up Goonies. It's a, it's a water park film. No, no, no. That's like, I'm going to go to my favorite Kurt Russell movie, Big Trouble and Little China, okay?
Starting point is 00:03:06 Yeah, yeah. But it's so weird to have that as a reference, like that romancing the bean. Maybe there's like a different cultural context or it's literally talking about the tourist. Yeah, I don't know. It could be. I don't know. I mean, Burbank isn't the most progressive
Starting point is 00:03:24 city. So I would sooner believe someone was like a big Kurt Russell Kathleen Turner fan. And I was like, and for my second wave coffee shop, I shall name this romancing the bean. Brian the editor said he, for some reason he has that on Betamax and still hasn't seen
Starting point is 00:03:42 it. I feel like that's the most appropriate movie to have on the packaging. Yeah, yeah, yeah. For sure. When you're like, what's this weird ass tape? Oh, it's a beta max. Do you know like TV? When I worked at ABC News, like, in the early aughts, they, TV, like, still had shit on Betamax. Like, that's what, like, everything... Yeah, Beta SP was, like, what, all the old, like, B-roll footage that you were pulling from,
Starting point is 00:04:07 like, when you had to, like, dig through the crates of old episodes or old footage, it was on Betamax. Now you can just use AI or stock footage from another conflict around the world and just say, yeah, that's, that's here, fine. Yeah, yeah. Let's do that. Now you, uh, now you just, like, take a, uh, a little chip implanting your brain and say, I want the news to be this.
Starting point is 00:04:28 Dude, I've seen a little footage for you. You know, like those stock media websites that, you know, back in the day, we used to be like, oh, I need some B-roll. I'll go to like a stock image website or stock video website to buy, like to get some stuff to put in a video or something. Yeah. I'm now seeing ads where they're like, don't buy the AI shit. Look at the difference. Here's the human made B-roll and here's the shitty AI one.
Starting point is 00:04:51 Don't pick it. And I'm like, oh, man, you guys are in the fight for your life, too. Yeah, yeah. We're all fighting for our lives out here, folks. When I was, when I worked at ABC News, the executive producer of one of the shows I worked on, was obsessed with, like, shots of the moon. He would always, like, transition between things with, like, shots of the moon through, like, some tree branches. So there's just, like, libraries of, like, shots of the moon. Kind of Iqabod-ass crane, fucking D.P.
Starting point is 00:05:20 Everybody just, like, knew that the, if you wanted to get the existence. they get a producer on board with your story. You just like insert a little shot of the moon. I love that story about the venture capital company. I love that crossed us all from the moon into a quarter. That was great. With a wolf's hell for some reason as it blurs out. All right.
Starting point is 00:05:40 My name is Jack O'Brien that over there is Miles Gray. This is the episode where we tell you what is trending on Tuesday, October 7th. The local GOP in Portland in Oregon is trying to. to use footage from elsewhere to get people scared of Antifa and the left-wing violence that is being visited upon our streets. Because they don't want to see the visuals of someone dressed in like a stitch from Lilo and Stitch costume or the frog standing outside of the ice facility just sort of pointing to the absurdity of the entire situation.
Starting point is 00:06:14 They need visceral fire, angry teeth gnashing shit to try and get people to really be like, well, yeah, I guess you do need to put in the army to stuff. up the crime or the First Amendment happening. But yeah, the at Oregon GOP on Twitter, they posted like images of protests in South America to try and make the situation seem much more worse, like as if this is happening outside of an ice facility.
Starting point is 00:06:39 But again, you can tell how do we know it's not from America? Because the police shields read Policia, okay? And I think that's police CIA. They've put in the police and the CIA together one. I'm not, yeah, I'm not a poly-sci major. I'm a poly-CIA major is what I do. That's what I'm, we're all the poly-CIA majors here. Obviously, this is America because, I mean, or I guess this could be in America
Starting point is 00:07:10 according to them, because we all remember the iconic. The way this place is going. Yeah, it's either that or the iconic NWA song, Chinga La Policia, that I think that's what they maybe are referring to. But again, journalists pointed out this nonsense and then the Oregon GOP just replied with, we aren't journalists. We're just bad memers. Okay. But yeah, I mean, this isn't a surprise concerning the fact that the bullshit descriptions of what's happening in Illinois, Chicago, Portland, et cetera, have only increased since Trump was rebuffed by a judge he appointed twice
Starting point is 00:07:44 now. And it's also led to Trump starting to say things like, Portland, what's happening is real insurrection-y. It's kind of like an insurrection. Some say, they might be doing an insurrection there as a way to try and be justified invoking the insurrection act. Get real rection vibes over here. Exactly. You know what I'm saying? Exactly. Yeah. I mean,
Starting point is 00:08:07 just trying to follow everything, all the fuckery that ICE is doing around the country is, like, I feel like the mainstream media is real. Like, it's not, doing the best job. You really have to, like, go to citizen journalists. I don't know if it's because the New York Times is afraid of being, like, sued or
Starting point is 00:08:28 or what, but it's really, like, being covered by citizen journalists. And ICE has now resorted to, they now, like, beat people and arrest people just for recording, just for having a phone and, like, being there, essentially. So, I don't know. It, that, which again, feels like the sort of escalation that the mainstream media should be covering because now a citizen journalists are being arrested and then the citizen journalists covering the citizen journalists being arrested are being arrested and beat in the streets. Yeah. I mean, this is the same thing with like, you know, the woman that was shot by ice when she was in her car when they're like, we were getting boxed in by all these, these people. And like, there's so many conflicting reports about like, they're like, well, that's what you're.
Starting point is 00:09:18 saying as the people to be like, we shot somebody. Right. But the evidence doesn't seem to back that up. And then again, like, I'm reading the CBS news version of this story about the woman that was shot in Brighton Park. Yeah. And they're all just doing, they're just all talking. They're always
Starting point is 00:09:34 like, well, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office, according to DHS, according to CBC, according to ICE agents. It's just bullshit both sides official reporting. Where they're like, we just have to cover the status quo from the center, no matter how radically far to the right, the police state gets. We just have to
Starting point is 00:09:55 stand in between them and the people there against and be like, clash. Right. You know, just call it a clash. I mean, again, like, you read The Guardian and their description of it was sort of like they were taunting this woman before shooting her and all this other shit going on. And yeah, you really, at the very least, the clock is really ticking on like mainstream American journalism because it's just it's every day like you're getting the most outlandish lives being fed to you as if it's fact yeah you know recent reporting uh are that there's an increase in arrests and deportations but it's mainly being driven by people with no criminal record uh they're seeing a dramatic rise in incidents involving people impersonating immigration and customs enforcement
Starting point is 00:10:43 which we talked about that being a danger and them seeing early uh examples of that but it's happening a lot now like it's there there's a huge spike in that and in the past it was mainly being done in past administrations was mainly being done to commit financial crimes against people by being like we're going to deport you unless you like put oh give us money yeah right now it's being done like violently like you know uh kidnappings yeah gunpoint yeah gunpoint so it's it's bad out there shout out to the citizen journalists uh who are doing it you know, who are out there reporting on it. And, you know, they say if you are there for it, you know, when you're taking video,
Starting point is 00:11:25 obviously be careful, but you want to answer in your video as you're recording when this is happening, like specifically what day and time that this is happening and where, like, not just like Los Angeles, but cross streets. Yeah. And, you know, if you can possibly get the name of the person who's being detained, you know, try and get that. too. That's how you can be most difficult to already track these people, you know, because they're hiding them from their own lawyers a lot of the time. Yeah. A lot of times what they're doing is like
Starting point is 00:11:57 they'll do a raid and then take them to a nearby second location where they then reshuffle, you know, probably further abuse people. Like that's where some of, some people are catching them is like they'll take them to an office parking lot where like five ice vehicles just like pull up and pull people out and start like hitting them. And then. And that's where people kind of have been catching them. Yeah. Well, you know, again, the one thing that, I mean, the only thing that gives me any kind of hope is to just see that people actually are sticking up for their neighbors.
Starting point is 00:12:32 You know, like you saw people try and wrestle away someone who's being apprehended. And they did it successfully. But, I mean, you know, the values of human beings in this country seem to be mostly intact when they see someone in their neighborhood get snatched away by masked goons. for no reason. Obviously, these people being armed to the hilt can, you know, do something to how much, uh, how much risk someone's willing to tolerate in doing something like that. But, you know, I think the real scary version would have been if just people were like quiet. Yeah. Being like, yeah, there they are. The only way they can, they, they can just like abstract the humanity out of
Starting point is 00:13:10 people, but like people still have their humanity intact. It's just like when they make it an abstract threat with like, you know, videos, bullshit videos of different conflicts and being like, this is what's coming for you. You know, that's how they get people. But when you see another person being treated this unfairly, but not the mainstream media, apparently, the mainstream media defines that as clash, a clash between, I don't know, maybe some good news that this is all going to be over in a matter of moments because the rapture is supposed to happen.
Starting point is 00:13:44 any minute now any minute now we uh any minute now any minute now the guy look we talked about it he shifted it he was like actually i'm actually should have been going off the julian calendar i was going off the gregorian calendar so god fucked up not me or maybe i don't know or just like a week apart i assumed like there two days because i think damn one's like 300 it's like a difference of like a day and a half so i guess over many years it can be a two two weeks or some shit. Either way. Come on, y'all. I mean, who knows? Maybe it's going to happen
Starting point is 00:14:20 right after we're done recording, and no one listens to this episode because the rapture took all you good Christian Zite gang to the kingdom of heaven to be seated at the right side of the throne. I don't know which is better, getting to listen to this episode or getting to sit at the right hand of God and judge everybody who ever made fun of you. When you're going into the sky during the rapture,
Starting point is 00:14:39 you can keep your AirPods in. You know, hold on. Let me just listen to this, man. I've got one in. I've only got one in so I can basically hear you. Sorry, St. Peter, shut the fuck up. Shut the fuck up. Dude, this is on some, I'm listening to more Burke's overrated. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:59 It's also a big week in addition to all the people who are about to be raptured. Big week for Donald Trump because the Nobel Committee is announcing their prizes and we don't know rub your mitts, folks.
Starting point is 00:15:14 Yeah, I mean, so people who, you know, don't pay attention to the Nobel Peace Prize or, like, how it's awarded, or like, I think he's got this one in the bag. I know. Because he keeps asking for it. There's, like, a lot of, you know, betting odds sites that have him, like, on the leaderboard. What an idiot. What a stupid thing. Isn't it vibes-based? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:40 Other people have pointed out that that's not usually how it wins. and you have to, like, contribute to peace in some lasting peace. And they do seem to have a... 7,000 wars. They do seem to have a weird bias towards people who believe in climate change and science, the Nobel Committee. Their work. I'm surprised he hasn't said that already.
Starting point is 00:16:01 Like, he wants it so bad, but he can't denigrate it, exactly. You know what I mean? That's always been that, like, he's always wanted the approval of the New York Times. He's always wanted the approval of, like, the mainstream media, like, SNL. Well, maybe Larry Ellison can buy the Nobel Committee or something and make it a farce also. The Oscars. I stopped that. I stopped the Infinity Wars.
Starting point is 00:16:23 Obviously, people remember that, the Infinity War with Thanos, they say he couldn't be stopped. But I broke it to you. Yeah, we didn't. Another piece of Nobel Prize news is they awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, which went to three scientists for their descendants. discoveries related to the immune system, and I hear that, and I'm thinking RFK Jr. I'm thinking he sees people who are immunologically compromised. I'm thinking Aaron Rogers, yep.
Starting point is 00:16:54 I'm thinking Aaron Rogers. Aminized famously. Unfortunately, it went to nobody I'd ever heard of. One of the winners was actually not even, like he was off the grid. Oh, I heard about that. He was like in the Rockies or something shit, right? He was like hiking in the mountains with his wife as part of a digital detox. What is he some kind of...
Starting point is 00:17:16 What is he some kind of Nobel genius? Taking a digital detox, you idiot. You didn't even hear about your... I think it was like 12 hours had passed or something. Yeah. He didn't know that he had won a Nobel Prize. A rep from his lab said, he's living his best life.
Starting point is 00:17:31 Fuck, yeah. That's where he is. He only found out about the award because his wife briefly turned on her phone when they had to fix something in their car and saw all the congratulatory texts. and she screamed and he was, I guess, like, not next to her and assumed that she was being attacked by a grizzly bear.
Starting point is 00:17:50 Because that's where they were. Dude, I love this guy, Fred Ramsdell. Just legend. He's like, dude, I'm out here just fucking taking a walk, bro. Put the phone away. What's that? What's going on? Honey, you see a bear?
Starting point is 00:18:03 Yeah. He won the Nobel. Whatever. Whatever. I'm living my best life either way. That's right. Fuck, I thought I was going to get to kill a bear. Put your gun away, Fred.
Starting point is 00:18:12 He, like, barrel rolls up with a gun drawn. Like John Wick and shit. Ramsdale. Dun-down, down, down, down, down, down, down. Let's take a quick break. We'll come right back. In the heat of battle, your squad relies on you. Don't let them down.

Starting point is 00:19:09 All I know is what I've been told, and that's a half-to-one. truth is a whole lie. For almost a decade, the murder of an 18-year-old girl from a small town in Graves County, Kentucky, went unsolved until a local homemaker, a journalist, and a handful of girls came forward with a story. I'm telling you, we know Quincy killed her. We know. A story that law enforcement used to convict six people and that got the citizen investigator on National TV. Through sheer persistence and nerve, this Kentucky housewife helped give justice to Jessica Curran. My name is Maggie Freeling. I'm a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, producer, and I wouldn't be here if the truth were that easy to find. I did not know her and I did not kill her or rape or burn or
Starting point is 00:20:02 any of that other stuff that y'all said. They literally made me say that I took a match and struck and threw it on her. They made me say that I poured gas on her.

I started trying to get pregnant about four years ago now.
Starting point is 00:21:51 We're getting a little bit older, and it just kind of felt like the window could be closing. Bloomberg and IHeart Podcasts present. IVF Disrupted, the Kind Body Story, a podcast about a company. that promised to revolutionize fertility care. Introducing Kind Body, a new generation of women's health and fertility care. Backed by millions in venture capital and private equity, it grew like a tech startup. While Kind Body did help women start families, it also left behind a stream of disillusioned and angry patients.
Starting point is 00:22:27 You think you're finally like with the right people in the right hands and then to find out again that you're just not. Don't be fooled. what all the bright and shiny listen to ivf disrupted the kind body story starting september 19 on the i heart radio app apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts and we're back we're back it can't be denied miles that we are back and uh marjorie taylor we did right that's a fun bummer man that was really i thought it was going to happen during the break because as we talk about when we go on a break we cease to exist we exist in a weird
Starting point is 00:23:10 liminal state yeah where we're the sensation you have as a person when you're about to fall asleep is kind of where we are when we go and we're and we'll be right back and then our eyes roll back yeah depending on whether you skip the ads or not like the if you listen to the full ads we're gone for you know two minutes if you skip past the ads we're only gone for like 15 seconds it doesn't matter because the way we've at the time dilation we experience like being in like a third level dream and inception is like for jack and i spend 10 years together and that's right three three dreams deep and then my wife has to give me the kick and then we come out of it and we're back yeah and i'm soaked i'm not going to say exactly what my little like built-in belief that i have is you know
Starting point is 00:23:52 like his wife has the one where like it's locked away that she's actually in a dream no matter what level she's at. Right, right. I'm not going to say what mine is, but it involves a ride on the Ocean City Boardwalk. Let's talk about NTG. Marjorie Taylor Green. Yeah, dude. Broken clock.
Starting point is 00:24:12 Broken clock. Once again. First time the broken clock, we were like, what the fuck when she's like, we got to get these Epstein files out. I don't care what Trump says. They don't fucking scare me. They should be scared of the fucking truth. Now she's come out with an, I guess, coherent take on our current political.
Starting point is 00:24:28 reality. This time she said she's open to negotiating with Democrats on health care in order to end the shutdown. She's come out and said that basically rising costs are untenable for her constituents, her family, but was also sure, this is how you know she's still in there. She had to shit on
Starting point is 00:24:44 Obama. So this is what she said. Quote, let's just say as nicely as possible. I'm not a fan. But I'm going to go against everyone on this issue because when the tax credits expire this year, my own adult children's insurance premiums from 26 are going to double, along with all the wonderful families and hardworking people in my
Starting point is 00:25:04 district. I was not in Congress when all this Obamacare or Affordable Care Act bullshit started. The thing that she's talking about that is keeping her kids insurance from doubling. That's bullshit. Okay, but it would sure go on. It's bullshit. I got here in 2021 as a matter of fact. The ACA made health insurance unaffordable for my family after it was passed with Skyrocket. Okay, okay, shut up, shut up, shut up. Right. So she's just like, I mean, it fucking sucks, and I hate it, but we do need it. We do need it to- Need this. Prevent predatory insurance companies from just raising the rates on everybody so that nobody can go to the hospital without going broke.
Starting point is 00:25:45 Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, look, God bless a broken clock. And I think she's also doing some Botox, too. She seemed to have a bit of a new, like a more taut forehead. Hell yeah. That was my main issue with her, was that she, her forehead was not taught enough. Not taught enough. Yes, exactly. Taughten up that forehead and we'll, now we'll talk. Now I'll think about just off the DC metro. Yeah. It's just so funny, like their disdain for Obama where they clearly, did you see the, did we talk about the clip where Trump was talking about how Obama goes downstairs? He's like, he's just, like, going down his wife. Hoping down the stairs.
Starting point is 00:26:26 No, you have to... You know, like some manosphere shit. You know, Obama goes downstairs, right? Disgusting. He goes down on his wife, gross. I would never do that. Unmanly.
Starting point is 00:26:35 Uncle June. We only go upstairs in this house. What? Wait, he says he was making fun of... DJ Khalid are the only two people I take advice from in the bedroom. No, he was talking about... I forget what this...
Starting point is 00:26:51 Was it maybe the speech? I don't know if it was the speech. speech of the Pentagon, but it was some speech, I think, last week, where he was talking about going downstairs and how you have to be careful because past presidents have fallen down and it, like, defined their legacy. So you can tell that this is, like, what he's thinking about and, like, what he's being told. Oh, I think this is it. Hold on. Yeah. Is this it? You walk nice and easy. You're not having, you don't have to set any record. Be cool. Be cool. When you walk down, but don't
Starting point is 00:27:24 pop down the stairs. So one thing with Obama, I had zero respect for him as a president, but he would pop down those stairs. I've never said, da-da-da-da-da-da-pa-pa-pa. He'd go down the stairs. We wouldn't hold on. I said, it's great. I don't want to do it. I guess I could do it. But eventually
Starting point is 00:27:41 bad things are going to happen. And it only takes once. But he did a lousy job as president. Oh, my God. He walks down the stairs. Bada-b-da-da-ba-bap-bap-ba. That's our president. It's got to be an insult sandwich with him.
Starting point is 00:27:56 Yeah. It's, yeah, just wrap the compliment and insults. His anger was based on him, like, walking down with too much of energy, like just a thing that he can't do,
Starting point is 00:28:07 whereas, like, he has to walk down, like, lock-legged. You're cooked when you covet another man's mobility. That's usually not a great sign.
Starting point is 00:28:16 You know what I mean? That's not a good sign. Publicly coveting someone else's mobility. Sure. I'll watch sports and be like, damn, I wish I was as nice as this player. with the ball or something like that. But that's in a fantasy world.
Starting point is 00:28:27 Not like, man, I wish I could hug my kids. Right. Not where you're like, I'm so much better than him. Doesn't everybody agree I'm better than LeBron James? The way LeBron James plays basketball, he's all like, boop-doo-boop and around the Dunk, Dunk, amazing past, dunk. Oh, isn't the announcement today? That's unbecoming.
Starting point is 00:28:46 He's the, yeah, yeah. The decision of all decisions or whatever? The decision part two, I think it's a viability. viral marketing stunt that fooled everybody just uh that's what everyone everyone was like this is an ad and I'm like I don't care because honestly I'm like leave LA please but uh this is so it was just an advertisement yeah it was just an ad um fucking stupid yeah it was like don't be the boy who cried retirement man no one's gonna give a shit pretty I mean people will give a shit because he's one of the greatest to ever do it but don't fuck around with people like this right now every time there's
Starting point is 00:29:22 like a sequel to a big media event, but it like doesn't really make sense. I think we did it with Ferris Bueller, where people are like, a Ferris Bueller sequel is in the offing. And I was like, well, that isn't possible. What, what do you mean? He's, he's not in high school anymore. That that would suck shit. And then it was like a Super Bowl lad, like LeBron doing decision part two to be like, I'm coming back to the Lakers when nobody thinks I'm leaving. Doesn't make zero sense. Anyways, you know, Trump's talking about mobility, openly coveting another man's mobility. Seems like he might be having thoughts of mortality. No, why?
Starting point is 00:30:00 Why would he? Why would he think about that? Why would he nonstop talk about, if I go to heaven, will I go to heaven? Now I lay me down to sleep. I pray the Lord. May I arise at your side in your heavenly kingdom? So we've talked about the, he's been the last. six months he's brought the heaven thing up at least four times like distinctly about like maybe
Starting point is 00:30:26 I'll get into heaven for stabbing these wars or like hopefully I go to heaven or he did that fundraising email where he's like please help me get to heaven um so he was speaking at an event for some new white house initiative called america praise um where people pray for the nation like in the lead up to the 250th birthday of our country um so because church is state now But anyway, while he was being asked, like, just an underhander question from a friendly journalist, like, hey, like, what about this, you know, faith, blah, blah, blah, what do you have to say about that? He goes on this whole spiel about how heaven is certain for. This is he said, quote, you know, there's no reason to be good. I want to be good because you want to prove to God, you're good.
Starting point is 00:31:10 So you go to that next step, right? That's very important to me. I think it's really very important. Uh-huh. Wait, there's no reason to be good. It's such a wild statement that everybody, like, people are just kind of skipping past. Yeah. He's, I mean, look, he's a theologian and they should, this is, I mean, he has, like,
Starting point is 00:31:33 the intellect of me at seven years old when I'm at, like, Lutheran first grade and they're talking about praying in heaven. And then I'm like, so what, the only reason to, like, be good is so you go to, like, fantasy world after this? Right. Is that the only reason? that's keeping everybody that's it the promise of this or the threat of the other thing what about just vibing out man being a good person it's almost like he just heard of heaven
Starting point is 00:31:57 you know he's like just just gaming this out now where he's like so i guess i'm hearing about this thing heaven where like it's a lot of people talking about this a lot of people you ever notice this a lot of people talking about this specifically the voices in your head have you ever noticed that the voices in your head are talking you're not going there right how do you combat that father um uh i i i don't know i mean i think this is just uh he this is something he's contemplating for whatever reason uh whether or not that's no reason i mean the yeah the you're like oh wow i wonder if there's just a lot of health stuff we don't know about or that isn't as obvious as we're seeing like the swelling and the hand bruising and the lack of you know coherent
Starting point is 00:32:41 ideas coming out pray for your president pray for your president this is also i mean We'll talk about this probably in the tomorrow's main show, but like this, I feel like this is why Stephen Miller is becoming more and more visible. You know what I mean? Because a lot of people, we've said this from, like, the beginning. You don't think it's just like a brilliant political strategy on his part, on their part because they know that he reads so well. Famously humble Donald Trump was like, you know what?
Starting point is 00:33:05 I don't need all the shine. Stephen, you get out there and you do some Nazi stuff. We love it. But I think, I mean, that's like we said from the beginning, this administration is less of like Trump being like I get to be president it's more just that like these people have like when ants like bring a big dead bug back to their layer like all these sycophant maga people are like dragging Trump to the top and being like like puppeteering him like yeah you like this right grandpa you want to do this day yeah yeah yeah sure will i go to how yeah you're going to heaven baby you're going to heaven
Starting point is 00:33:36 you're the man you're going to love it i just i i i think anytime that stephen miller is the face of anything, it is good for people who are opposed to that thing.
