mess i've never crying so so hard on you going, Amos, what do you think about that? And I'm like, about what? What? About you being a dad. Ah, yeah, dude. That fool has blowouts sometimes. I'm like, what?

Blowout. I mean, that was the first thing I brought up with you was the poops. The blowouts, like I said, they are very real. That's how I communicate with other dads. Also, just shout out. Am I right? Just shout out to all the medical professionals along the way.

You realize how much a good hospital can do for you when you have a very very long uh labor and delivery oh my god yeah it was look it was it was quite it was quite eventful i will say but everybody's doing well everybody's doing well the baby is beautiful i keep using that phrase i'm sorry if it's but you're jealous i keep telling her majesty i'm, it is a beautiful blend, but I can see how it makes you jealous. Cause really look a lot like you with hair. Yeah. So I mean, I had a great head of hair.

I came out with a full head when I was born, but damn this, this young, young, young lad is doing it. The shout out the Geist child, the Geist child. I love it.

That's, that's gotta be some, there's gotta be some great medieval Christmas hymn. Geist Child songs coming our way. Alright, you ready to get back into the fucking news?

Yeah. What's going on? Tell me about it. As you know, as you may have heard, Trump is trying to get handcuffed so he can look tough. Look tough. Hey, don't kink shame. You know, that might be his name.

He's like, I think it'd be really cool if you cuffed me. And then, so, we talked about how these AI images that were generated of him were very flattering. A bunch of AI images of him being arrested were circulated on twitter and people were like twitter's trying to you know make trump make it seem like trump's under arrest and i was like they make him look better than like he looks wild athletic compared to what he really like this man is just standing on locked knees at all times just trying to like kind of stilt his way around and you know in some of these images he's just

he looks like a you know running back yeah oh yeah he looks like jerome bettis like just trying to blow it up like he's like get the fuck out my way head down mike allstott got nothing on me i think it's just jarring to see any amount of motion blur on a trump photo yeah they should turn the motion blur you know what i mean it's no i'm saying in that sense you're like he ain't dynamic like that like to your point he's like rigid and fixed in all his photos so i'm sure he's loving that because he's like well look at that i've got four legs in that picture i mean take on three cops exactly have the most legs of anybody who's ever been arrested the whole thing has felt like an like it's part of you know a plan by him to get attention to play into the persecution complex of him and his supporters.

We talk a little bit on tomorrow's episode about how he's raising money off of it. But those images... Boku bucks. Or Boku bucks, you may even say. Which we'll also touch on. Yeah. This is just a trailer for tomorrow's episode. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I don't know if he got the idea looking at those same images. And he was like, oh, this kind of frees me up to explore the studio space of what it would be like to kneel, for instance. Because now he's circulating images or at least a image of himself kneeling in prayer in a manner that is absolutely physiologically impossible for him. And this is like just he found some ai art yeah just found some ai art was like yeah print it um so i don't know he's got i mean if he found the art or if he has like people working for him generating this shit but this all feels like he's he's getting exactly what he wants yeah i mean it's just it's a it's a weird one for him because like i get that he's trying to make a martyr of himself but like the january 6th stuff you understand there's just a

little more emotional weight and momentum to that like you can get people to be like they're stealing your country you know sure and get people invested but right now he's like they're not letting me get away with paying hundreds of thousands of dollars to someone I had an extramarital affair with and save me. That one, not many people can relate to that shit. So I guess maybe this is how he helps add the drama to it. But again, it's I mean, like you said, the most it's done is really just gotten people to empty their pockets rather than show up in physical space. Yeah. Which is also shocking. He hit the caps lock key and threw it away yeah pried it off of his keyboard because that's that's the level we're at what do you think the

next ai image is going to be of trump that he posts is it going to be something so yeah i was going to say like yeah the fbi is like yeah the fbi is all crowded around him and he just explodes from the pack and dunks he's like you probably forgot about that in the 2000 olympics team usa versus team france when i jumped over that motherfucker dunked on him and you're like right over robert muller i'm, that's a Vince Card. Okay. All right. Afro Man is back. He got raided by police a while back on some bullshit charges.

And they found nothing at his home. Yeah. Free Afro Man. He was never charged with a crime. And he had all of these raids captured on his own home security system. And guess what he did? He made two music videos

out of the bumbling sheriffs being like, where's the fucking shit? Not finding a damn thing and looking stupid. A track called Lemon Pound Cake and another one is called Will You Help Repair My Door? Because he kicked his door in.

And because of that, the officers are now filing a lawsuit against him for using that footage because they have face quote embarrassment ridicule and humiliation and a loss of reputation yeah y'all are police you had no repute like loss of reputation comes with that badge so miss me with that part uh but they've truly tried to turn this into they are the fucking victims here. And I'd imagine that, you know, like, I know there's like a lot of talk about like, well, when can you film the police or not? But my understanding is like when you're filming within your own home and they're bursting through your door.

Yeah, I think that's OK. So anyway, these cops are really going all in and they're just trying to say like, I don't know what I'm going to do. They said they used their personas without authorization and violated their right to privacy. They're blown up on TikTok, some of those cops. So, I mean, that's a material damage to their careers. Their personas. Fuck out of here. Like if anything, you're trying to go undercover

you don't want a persona right they're just so consistently bad at their jobs just always like they heard because i got high and like put together a massive like investigation like what how are they so bad all the time yeah well the funniest part to me too is like in their criminal like or their complaint against him they're like they put him on facebook snapchat and tiktok and it's about it t-i-c-t-o-k like they don't even know how to spell tiktok that nice uh so good luck with that in this damn inflation inflation news, the $1 New York pizza slice is no more. We had talked that it was going away, but the last one,

the last pizzeria offering $1 slices is died off. Two Bros Pizza, it is no more. You can kiss that fucking goodbye, and you can tell your kids, Jack, now you could be like, hey, Dad used to get these dollar slices in New Yorkork and they're like what are you talking about you mean six dollar slices like no they were one dollar back then but yeah they've they've raised the price to a dollar fifty so

you know a dollar slice was just it felt like a that feels like a human right yeah you know or like a constitutional right that like you should be able to get a dollar slice. Where were you on that one, Biden? Come on, man. Yeah, where were you? Instead, you're rah-rah-ing Obamacare today. But yeah, talk about the death of the dollar slice. I think they look at just, they're saying it's inflation.

Like fucking everything. It costs too much. In this economy, a dollar slice? Plus labor, you know? Which we can't even afford because nobody wants to work anymore. Exactly. We can't even get people to work for a dollar slices. All right.

Let's take a quick break. We'll be right 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 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. This is Rip Current.

just sort of like his um attorneys were saying he's like he can't even enjoy wine like he used to it was like one of the things that he's been going through and i was like oh that's fucked up but i mean apparently like you know he broke his ribs and got knocked the fuck out from that impact. And it's just it's just interesting to see. Like, I just want to read this one part. Did you read the did you talk about this opening statements part? I don't think we read the opening statement. The opening statement, the guy said before this crash, Terry was a charming, outgoing, gregarious person.

After the crash, he's no longer charming. curious person after the crash he's no longer charming i mean like i i'm not saying yo getting in a fucked up having a real head injury and shit like that i get that but it's just funny the way that they're wording it like what this jury must look like and then they go on like they had another a radiologist say that he had like the typical hallmarks of a brain injury and he just apparently the biggest thing is it's hindered his ability to taste wine damn among other serious conditions but yeah with like a jury in you know where where there's like a giant ski town i feel like that they will yeah because it's in park city right i think yeah he knows not the coziness of his ugg boots

he's no longer charming is such a wild claim to which i feel like look at him look at him your honor look at this fool he ain't charming you don't want to hang with this guy this guy's no longer a good hang i'm sorry to quote the i think you should leave uh focus group sketch stinky is what i think he is now he lost it he lost it uh but again i'm sure it's just weird it's like i've also just seen her on like her phone in court and i'm like yeah keep bringing that gwyneth oh yeah can't wait till she takes the stand the photo i'm so glad they allowed cameras inside this courtroom because the photos of her barely tolerating this bullshit are um exactly what we need right weekend the weekend uh was named the most popular artist

by guinness yeah but just i was like i saw that headline and i was like wait what what the fuck you mean um but i guess he set two new world records uh which was when he had 111 million like listeners on spotify monthly listeners on spotify and then he became the first artist to reach 100 million monthly listeners um i guess i'm like what are we saying he's the most popular artist in the world right now because it's weird that metric is just a little it leaves out like and i'm imagining like 95 of the earth yeah if you're just going by like people who use spotify but it's weird i don't know i'm like i look i got nothing against abel you know what i mean i love the early work uh but it's just interesting to just be like

yeah based on these spotify number and i get that guinness like you can you can get a guinness record for anything but my first thing was like huh that doesn't quite feel like it but i get the metrics you're using so yeah there's a there's a story actually about his hbo show that's pretty i think he's gonna get a lot less popular after that hbo show comes out if it does oh really well yeah we'll get into the details in a future app um so speaking of potentially problematic shit on the horizon so a couple weeks back they mentioned that quentin tarantino has the idea for his 10th and final movie apparently it's going to be called the movie critic and it's set in the late 1970s la with a female lead at its center first of all just i don't know that i believe he's going to stop at 10 this yeah yeah he's it's never happened before if you've even been to like i remember once

i i was at a q a for i think it was like Kill Bill Volume 2 or something. Like he did one at the Arclight. The amount this fool talked. I was like, we're not getting out of here. This fool just wants to hear his own motherfucking voice. Yeah. So like retiring? No.

But okay. So let's pretend that he was really going to make good on this promise. 10 and I'm out. Also, we're back in LA.A. in the 70s. Yeah, back in L.A., back in the 70s. People think it might be about legendary film critic Pauline Kael, who he specifically credits with creating his or helping him create his aesthetic. One of her reviews of Jean-Luc Godard's Band of Outsiders helped crystallize what he

wanted to do in film. She's one of the most influential film critics of all time. And so there was a point in her career where she came out to Hollywood to be a film executive with Warren Beatty. Warren Beatty brought her out and it didn't go well. Um, the first project Paramount was working on with her was a movie with director James Toback, who you might know as like a canceled predator. Yeah. Serial predator.

Okay. Yeah. And he immediately like insisted she be fired there's also like i don't know it feels like there's just going to be a lot of bad like she she ended up getting screwed over by paramount's don simpson who decided on principle to block whatever pauline proposed um don simpson was a just prodigious coke fiend who like despite his self-destructiveness kept failing upwards um and after he screwed her over he was fired from being president of production at paramount uh because he fell asleep in his soup like during a meeting

in the cafeteria like literally just passed out so he was fired and then handed a producer's deal and given a new office and then you know did a bunch of wild shit including make i think top gun and didn't he like die before like the rock came out too or something yeah he was and i remember that was like a big like in the royal died of a coke overdose but during the making of top gun he holed up with armed guards and an uzi because he had crossed mobsters in vegas after he assaulted the niece of a boss so just like i can see i can see where where this could be interesting but also like tarantino's not not yeah tarantino the best when it comes to yeah especially something as like we already talk

about like the weird like tarantino gaze of his films and like just how like he's put like uma thurman through a bunch of shit like being like yeah hurt yourself to do this stunt and now it's like yeah this guy we expect him to handle a story about this person entering the entertainment industry just to get crushed by these like dudes like is that how he's gonna tell it or it's gonna be some no you know and we don't even necessarily know that it's it's about her specifically or it'll be like a fictionalized account but just like he famously copped to knowing about harvey weinstein's crimes before they came out and like earlier in his career defended Roman Polanski claiming,

I don't believe it's rape, which he later apologized for. But yeah. Yeah. Okay. Well, yeah. You know,

maybe, maybe this is an art guy for this story. I feel like he can stop now. Yeah. There's not a single thing. I'm like, nine is a great number. Yeah.

As in nine. No, nine. No more, please. No more. Just fucking drink your cadillac margaritas and you know fucking just watch your favorite vhs tapes over and over in your mansion okay fuck off to space i thought there was like he was gonna do a star trek movie at some point maybe

maybe that would be better what do you think and then he's gonna be like i said 10 directing my own ideas. Now I do. I do whatever now. Now I do the next season of Picard. You guys are going to love it. That's right. All right.

Those are some of the things that are trending. Yeah. This Thursday, March 23rd, back tomorrow with a whole ass episode of the show. Yeah. Until then, be kind to each other. Be kind to yourself.

Get the vaccine. Don't do nothing about white supremacy. And we will talk to you all tomorrow. Bye. Bye. Kay hasn't heard from her sister in seven years. I have a proposal for you. Come up here and document my project.
