Fucking punch through the dry wall.

You push-ups against the wall. Just usually, I was punching straight through that shit, dude. I know actually I can kind of tell where the studs are before I punch now. Broke my hand last time. Vince, how are you? I'm good.

How are you guys? Speaking of StudFinder, I found him. I found him right here, Miles. Boop-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-Bep, beep-beep. You're good, though? That would be like a low-key, awesome super-

superpower to have. It's just to always, like, you get x-ray vision just for studs in your house. Oh, yeah. I mean, it would, such a specific thing. It's like, oh, you got X-ray vision? Nah, I can only see the studs. That's it, though. There should be, like, a different X-Men where it's all just, like, a construction crew of guys. Like, they have various, you know, like, building-related superpower. Like, a guy doesn't need to measure anything. I was going to say he has, like, the way Spider-Man can shoot webs out. He just has, a tape measure that comes out.

No, I'm talking about eyeball in the weight, dude. But it's incredibly painful. Yeah, he's like, oh, yeah. That's four feet, point three inches right there. That's, uh, yep, two and a half feet right there. Yep, all right, good. Have you seen those videos where like carpenter type guys will try to guess, you know, how long like the tape measure?

And they're like, they eyeball like really accurately. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that'll be like, dude. Because it'll be like random stuff to like seven inches. and they'll just be like, there. I've also been watching,

there's like this, there's like a video like old, like boomers like at their peak like labor years like in the 50s and six like 60s putting up drywall like free hand and you're like, what the fuck people used to be. Shapes out of it and it just fits perfectly

like a fucking looney tunes. Yeah, doing like the arched fucking drywall and like a bath and just like using a razor blade just free eyeing the slits that he had to make and just like, do, do, do, do, do, do, done. Yeah. We used to be a fucking country, man.

We used to be men in this country. Yep. Could I ever do it? No. I would mash my fingers up with a hammer. Soft, soft child's hands that I've got here. I've got calluses from playing bass. Calluses on my fingertips from typing so hard.

How do you help? On emails, I write when I'm angry. and never send. Oh yeah? You think that? Oh, man. My drafts folder is fucking nuts, dude. Fucking basically littered with dead bodies, bro, that I'm catching with these drafts.

Bro, you're so lucky I don't send this, bro. You're so lucky. I didn't send what I was about to send. Reply all, too. I was going to do it. Yeah. It's crazy, dog. I'll fucking, don't fuck with me, bro.

Bro, I could have sent that, man. It would have changed everybody's life. Oh, no, no, no, no. I said it. Oh, no, no. I said it. Oh, no. Fuck, fuck, fuck.

We're way off from National Lepercah. Tulip Day. Yeah, I know. Shout out Root Canal. I mean, I've had a root canal. They fucking sucked. But I appreciate that you didn't have to rip all my teeth out.

Yeah. Put that there. I guess this would be more of an aesthetic appreciation day because they used to just have to do that shit with whiskey and like a rock, you know? Yeah, yeah, right, right, right. Knock you out a little bit. My name is Jack O'Brien, aka. Cap down, handle up. That's the way we eat the muff. That one is courtesy of Arch Cam Cam, and I know that sounds dirty.

Yep. That's just how we are eating muffins. We had a conversation yesterday with Chris Martin. yesterday's guest Chris Martin, where he was talking about how he doesn't fuck with muffins because the handle, aka the bottom part that you hold on to, is just so much worse than the top part. Muffin top enthusiast. Yeah, exactly.

So, I don't know. It sounds worse than it is, you know? Cap down, handle up. That's the way we eat the muff. It is a totally fine thing to say. And I suggest you use it as an icebreaker at the next professional event. that you're at. I'm thrilled to be joined as always by my co-host, Mr. Miles Gray.

Yes, it's Miles Gray. Allow me to do something a little less odd than that one. Do you eat the muffin ass? The muffin ass. The muffin ass. Do you eat the muffin ass or throw that shit away? Shout out to Pozer from the Discord for that one. Is that spelled like Hozier? No, it's spelled like P-O-Z-U-R. Oh, like Pozier? Yeah, Pozier. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Is his name Hozier? No fucking clue. Nobody knows. Impossible to know. Someone call in now, tell us. I will not look at it. The lines are open. Miles,

we're thrilled to be joined in our third seat by a hilarious writer-comedian podcaster. Yes. Whose byline has appeared in GQ, the Ringer. Never heard of any. One of the hosts of film drunk, the frotcast, pod yourself a gun,

pod yourself the wire, and now mad yourself a man. Welcome back to the show. It's Vince Mancini. Vines. I never thought of this before, but do you think, like, root canal would be a good Australian slang for vagina?

That feels... Rout canile. Because, you know, because they call sex rooting. Oh, yeah, it's my root canal. Oh, yeah. And the root canal. They do? Yeah.

I wish I didn't know that. Like a router. People say that. You know, like, like, rotor? Yeah, because you're just, you're, you know, unclogating. Yeah. Routing around down there.

That sounds very, like, they're very, um, attentive and precise lovers. Just rooting around down there. Ringing the dinner bell. Ringing the dinner bell. Like you're clanging it all around? Yeah, my. It's how lovers get down under.

I don't like it. I don't like to think about them doing that. I don't like to think about Australian people procreating ever. Nope. Not, not. Hey, it's not my thing. Vince, how are you doing? doing. I'm great. How are you guys? I'm doing pretty hard. You know, day by day.

Yeah. Keeping on. Exactly, I'm taking a minute to minute more than anything. If I go even an hour ahead, I'm like, what the fuck? Yeah, yeah, good, good, good in this minute. It's what it's. Yeah, big on contractions. Uh-huh. What is, uh, have you seen any good films? Phetums. Films. Films. Oh, well, I mean, the last. one I saw was the devil wears product. So, or the devil wears product two. Two. Okay. Yeah. I was going to say it's been a while, man. So I'm going to say no. There haven't been any good films.

Any good film? I mean, it started with like a journalist getting laid off in the first scene. And I was like, you know, I thought this was going to be like fun escapeism and not like, you know, thinking about my life. My life. Yeah. But I heard they nailed the media landscape completely accurately. I heard. It's kind of a, it does feel. like they're going the Fast and the Furious direction with these where like everybody like teams up like the villain from the first one they're just going to keep adding like the villain the villain from this one will then be part of the team for the third one but yeah massive hit massive we're we're having a couple icon driven blockbusters yeah of late with michael and uh and now the devil war is proud of too

It's easy when you only release two films and wide release every weekend. It's like, oh, it's a hit. It's like, well, yeah, nobody had any options. It was either that or I don't even know. What was that? What was the last Angel Studios release? Right, right, right. David. Vince, thrilled to have you here.

We're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First, we're going to tell the listeners a couple of the things we're talking about. We're going to talk about RFK Jr. at an event on Monday. he couldn't help but mention that he's concerned about teenagers, sparm, or sperm, depending on where you're from. And, yeah, he is concerned about the dropping sperm count. This is something that has been in the news lately, and it's apparently bullshit. So we'll talk about that story. We'll ask the question, do we need another Westworld?

Because they're making one. Wait, that's an actual question? That's the number one question. You didn't get your answer already to that? Oh, okay. I liked, I liked season one of Westworld. I was fine with season one, and then I was just kind of like, all right. You know, it wasn't one of those things I was like, all right, I'm fully bought in.

But maybe I mean more. I do think the weakest part of Westworld is that it is a Western, like, because it's just a outmoded film genre, kind of. Sure. So I would have liked to see future seasons take place in whatever the other options were. I think they're a bold anti-horse stance. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. I'm not a fan. They're freak me out. We are going to talk about Stephen Miller because he seems like things aren't going so well for him. He's sort of faded. A little bit, little bit, but also it's hard to keep a teenage mutant ninja gerbil like him down. That's true. He'll find a way.

He'll find him. He's holding on by his fingernails right now. Gerbils finds a way. Yeah. The famous quote. And we might have been talking about the toxic dirt under the White House.

All of that plenty more. But first, Vince, we do like to ask our guest, what is something from your search history that is revealing about who you are? The last thing that I searched I had to look this up was flock of seagull's hair. Mm-hmm. Because I'm sort of becoming obsessed with

like gen alpha style just in general. I don't know if it's just me getting old where you reach a certain age and all youth style choices are like baffling. But I feel like I'm old enough to have experienced other ones before, but this one is like more baffling than others. And I was just noticing all the kids,

they fluffing up the sides and then they got the waterfall down the middle. And I'm like, wait, isn't that just the flock of seagulls? Wait, kids are rocking the flock of seagulls like that? It's kind of like that because it's fluffed up. It's like faded on the side and then they're fluffing it up, but then it just falls straight down the forehead. Wow.

But it's like a flock of seagulls perm kind of thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, God. There's nuance to these broccoli cuts out here is what you're telling me. That's right. It's not all broccoli. Up on top. Yeah.

It's wild to me that like young dudes are getting like perms and shit. That's just, that's like my favorite thing about when the people don't have the right curl to rock the floppy broccoli. They're like, I might just have to get a perm, no. Yeah. I spent my entire childhood getting roasted for having curly hair and having people asked me if I had a perm and now like curly, curly hair's in, like all the things.

Like, I had a friend that legitimately asked me one time. Like, do you think if you shaved it off, it would grow back normal? They were really worried about you. They're like, hey, man, I'm catching strays just being your friend, dude. Do you think you're a cursed for love? Or is there something that we could do to just like let you start over again? I heard your mom wasn't saved and that's why you have the devil's curly hair. No, on my basketball team, a couple guys that nicknamed me DNA because they said I had

fucked up DNA because of your hair being curled. Because my hair was curly in the front and not in the back and they couldn't figure it out. And it's like you got fucked up DNA. Wait, it was, wait, it was curly in the front. Curly up front straight in the back? Yeah, like a reverse mullet sort of situation. I saw a dude with a pretty tight mullet like that where it was like tight little curls up top and then the fucking thick ass mane in the back. A lot of people would pay a lot of money for that curly up front, straight in the back.

It also could look like you had a hair transplant of like cubes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's a straightening. It could find a line with pubs. Yeah, yeah. They're like, oh, man, I mean, I guess you can graph my chest hair on up there. Yeah. Well, why not?

Why not? Anyways, you look great. I got to tell you. If you did that with your chest hair, like, because your body hair, like, it stays one link. Like, it doesn't just grow forever. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Could you get that transplanted onto your head and never have to get haircuts again? Look, it's going to take a brave man to find out.

And I'll do it forever. Yeah. Although my, I have weird, like, body hair because I have like, like, I'm not really a hairy dude. I have, like, 14 chest hairs, but they're of like varying lengths. Oh, really? Something that I'm like, bro, this should not be this long. This one's been here since seventh grade. This one's kind of new.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, this one of my longest, one of my most faithful hairs. But I thought you're asking about flock of seagals because everything seems so cyclical now. And I'm like, I feel like we're eventually going to go back into the 80s. Like we're dancing around the night. We're like in the white 2K 90s era right now with kids fashion. And now I'm like, do we, are we going to go for it? We going back to the 80s at some point?

Why not? You know? I feel there's some stuff that feels very 80s. 80s like the white, the white socks that kind of get baggy. Like everybody looks sort of like 80s, late 80s frat boy, like the sock and shoe choices. That and like pleaded skirts. I see a lot of pleaded like tennis skirts out there too that feels very like country club coated for me.

But I'm sure people who are more into trends. Like it's actually this other thing. And I'm like, I'm sorry. My only frame of reference for this is like some kind of 80s tennis match. Right. I feel like the 80s was like kind of pulling some. 50s shit a little bit also. So Vince, what's something you think is underrated?

I think underrated being a little bit mean to your customer. You know, like I like, I want waitresses, baristas, anybody in a customer service situation, I want you to be terse and a little bit icy towards me. Did you have an experience on either end of that spectrum recently that made you think of this? I've had the opposite because I was going to say overrated is, trying to build rapport with your customer. I don't know if you guys experience this in L.A., but, like, I feel like the pleasantries

that you exchange with cashiers and people in customer service have gotten more intrusive to where, like, the point where I, like, I feel like I need to, they'll be like, how's your day going so far? I'm like, good. Yeah, one word answer.

Yeah, I'm like, good, you know, which kind of gives them the idea, like, yeah, I don't really want to, I don't really want to talk more than this. I don't want to get into the whole thing. I don't want to think about what I'm doing for the rest of the day, to be honest with you. You know, stresses me out. What are your summer plans?

What's your plans for the rest of the day? And I'm like, I can't think of something I'd less rather think about. You giving your kid a better life than you had? What the fuck? I don't know, man. How optimistic are you about the future of our country? Sorry, look, I'm just trying to get these chocolate-covered pretzels. I'm trying to get out of here.

Okay, that's fine. That's fine. Do you think democracy's dying? Or did it ever work for anyone? Okay, sorry. Anyway, that's 428. Yeah, yeah. 428.

You just buy one? Yeah. Just buy one pretzel? Right. Yeah, it's, it is, I kind of like that too. It also feels like more professional. Like, feels like you're in like a Sorkin movie. And like the person's just like, we have shit to do.

We're all, we all know what each other's roles are here, you know? Yeah. being like professional. Yeah. I also had an experience yesterday where I was coming home. I had like I had my takeout shwarma bag. And as I'm walking into my house, I don't know if you guys that are walking around neighborhoods,

like trying to sell some sort of solar related product where they just like walk around. This is California, baby. We're in the boom time. Everybody's trying to sell solar. Yeah. And it feels like their their sales strategy is to trap you in terrible conversations to where he's like, oh, uh, what, You got some burritos?

And I was like, no, it's a, it's a shwarma. It literally said like shwerma on the bag. What's that? No, he goes, oh, I'm not from California. I'm from Las Vegas. I don't think we have those there. Yeah, swamas? I'm like, hey, you know, I don't want to like dunk on you for being unsophisticated,

but I'm pretty sure you got a shwerma. Nah, I don't have that. Don't. We don't. Nothing like that. We don't have those out there yet. That's also sucks because it's like probably like some 23-year-old person. Yeah.

Like, just like, they were thrown into some weird training where they're like, figure out what they got. Make a comment on something they're holding to create some common ground with them. And he fucked that up immediately. He was like, was that burritos? No, Sharma. We don't have, we don't have that where I'm from. Starts cropping. You fucking idiot.

Every fucking time. The burrito thing worked on everybody else. Usually burritos. What are those burritos? No, it's a handbag. Shit. These are my golf clubs, actually. I'm sorry, I don't recognize shapes that well.

I'm not from here. Golf clubs, we don't have those. I'm from Las Vegas. Okay, sure, sure. No, I think there is something about, like, sometimes when people are, like, super friendly, like at a trader Joe, sometimes I want to slide a card being like,

hey, man, do you really want to talk about this? Yeah, because it's okay, man. I'm fine with just being so, just silent about this. But also there are times when I'll go to the Midwest where people are genuinely just more interested in you and then like my city dweller defenses go up. I'm like,

what the fuck you asking me about this shit? And I'm like looking at like a very like sincere, genuine person who's like, wow, are you enjoying your first, this is your first time in like Des Moines? I'm like, yes. Are you not, you're not going to try and sell me solar right now. The Shuma is delicious here. Yeah.

your breakfast pizza from i know that there's just some consultant out there that's like training people to do this fake empathy fake rapport building thing and it's so it's so bad i just i can't take it i guess does it feel bad because you're kind of like dude everything fucking sucks man like it's okay let's just be like you fuck this huh yeah you know we don't have to do this we don't we don't need to i do like that there's a like because door-to-door salesman is just stays a thing like They're like, we're not going away. This is going to be a way we sell something. It's just like it went from, I think it used to be knives and like Bibles, right, Bibles.

Cicobiles. Ciclipedia sets back in the old days. Yeah, encyclopedias, magazines still out here. Did you have friends that sold cut coat knives? Mm-hmm. Well, yeah. Yeah. And they would be like, yo, give me that penny.

Give me that penny right now. Do you want to see how good these kitchen shears are? That was like the one thing everyone did with cut co knives. I'm impressed so that they could do that. That's fucking cool. I would sign me up right away. I'd buy them if I had a job and I wasn't 18. There's probably some big cut code lobby that was trying to get the government to keep making pennies.

It's like, yo, man, this is core. It's a core aspect of our business. You cannot stop. Can't cut dimes. Just cost too much. My patron saint for dealing with people who are trying to make pleasant conversation is Neil McCauley, Robert De Niro's character from Heat. When she's like, what you're reading? He's like, lady.

Why are you so interested in what I read or what I do? She's like, oh, I was just making conversation. That's cool. My favorite scene is Robert De Niro and Heath is so funny. He's got away with, it ends up being his long-term girlfriend in that because it was the 90s. And everyone was like, well, yeah,

we all want to fuck this white guy. This unhappy dude should end up happy, for sure. How do I make him happy, though? I can fix this man. All right, let's take a quick break, and we'll come back. We'll talk about some news. We'll be right back. Hey, Ontario.

We're back. We're back. And on Monday, two days ago, Donald Trump held an event in the Oval Office announcing a new proposed rule to create an insurance option for IVF and other family treatments, an issue that is so important to him that he promptly fell asleep multiple times during the event. Like a light. Like a light. That's right. Yeah. Like he just popped a couple of zanis. Yeah. The White House then, like, started this big argument about whether he was blinking.

Like, he's like long blinking, I think was because he was, like, his eyes were closed and he wasn't moving for like 17 seconds at a time. And his head was falling back. This is, I mean, this is, this is called professional falling asleep in public. Because he's doing head rotations. Like, he's like, just a little bit of movement. So, yeah. So Trump are. Eyes are closed. He's out.

Yeah. For me personally. Yep, eyes getting heavier. It's been one of the main medicines that people... It's completely closed. Oh, there we go. Got a little eyebrow lift. He's got, yeah.

He's back. Nope, and he's gone again. He's in REM sleep. He's cycling back and forth. Then he nods a little bit. Yep. Yeah, that's good. That's good.

I mean, there's two options. Either he's falling asleep or he cares so little about the situation that he's in that he's just fully resting his eyes in front of everyone while they're speaking. Okay. Right. So he was awake. So then that's just how he behaves for something that's of great interest to the country, supposedly.

Okay. Sure, sure, sure, sure. That's also like an incredibly erect. It's not like he's in a recliner. He's in like the most erect, stiffest form of chair. And he's not falling forward, which feels like a pro move. It looks pretty plush, though. Yeah.

I guess they don't have them in one of the, of those turn of the century Bible reading chairs that were like by design made to be so pain my grandparents had one. I was like, yes, bro, these chairs that you're meant to read the Bible in that were so fucked up feeling that like you could not lean back in them or like there would be like these little knobs that like break your spot, your fucking vertebrae. And it was meant to be like. They're so fucked up that we now use them in public parks so that homeless people don't sit on them.

Yeah, yeah, exactly. They used to be for Bible reading. But yeah. I do. This does make me like. I remember this happened to me a lot in class. Like, did you get weird? Did you guys fall asleep in class a lot?

Like, I was fucked up in class. Like, facing your face towards the teacher, but like your eyes are just fucking closed the whole time. Oh, hell yeah. I would act like Stevie Wonder doing like a keyboard solo. Just head back, eyes close, like, like sunglasses on. There was something,

yeah, there was something to be about having your chin up and sleeping. That was somehow the more respectable version of being a sleeping class. than like fully neck broken head down. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I feel like it's classier to rest your head on the palm of your hand a little bit. So it seems like you're paying rapid attention, but you're just holding your head up.

In high school, I used to do that. I would draw, I would use a picture. I would draw my eyeball and tape it to my eyelid and then sleep like this. So from far away in the back of the closet, it looked like my eye open still. Your drawing was that good? No, it was just enough that it was like the concept of an eye. It's just a cartoon eye. Because I didn't have scissors or anything.

I'm like hand tearing a piece of notebook paper or like Xerox paper to do the shape of my eye. You were evolving to keep yourself safe from a predator like a moth, like moths do with their wings. Right. To look like me guys. Yeah. It does. Like he really reminds me of a Tim Robinson character in this moment.

Like, you know, the part in the like hot dog sketch where he's like eating a footlong hot dog out of his sleeve. Like that really feels like where he's at where he's at. where he's, he really just thinks he can get away with the shit. So, so much. He has such a little respect for everybody. I don't even, and it's just, it's, it's, it's, fuck, it's infuriating when it's like, this guy is, his brain is turning to goo. He can't even stay awake.

He hasn't stood up in public for more than five minutes in, like, ages. He's always, like, seated. And then you get this, like, fucking cult-like response from all his sycophants. Like, it was a long blink. He's not sundowning at a rapid pace. just because he fired off 39 tweets in a matter of hours talking about Obama is doing treason or whatever. His mouth is drooping because he's working so hard. Yeah.

Right. Just that very corner of his mouth is much more tired than the rest of his face. Just keep pressing him. For whatever reason, like the hand bruising thing got him in like a new thing of like always slathering his hand in makeup. Maybe ask some more fucking questions about something that is of now. importance. Is this guy just expiring in slow motion before everyone's eyes? And if so,

is that a good person to have your finger on the suitcase that could bring the end of the world to fruition? And how do we make a faster motion? Right, right, right, right. I do, like, that would be the ideal way for him to go. Go to that planet from Interstellar.

Yeah, that's right. Send him out there. You could be our number one space explorer. Glad I just finally saw that movie, dude. I can finally contribute to the discourse. It's like nonstop with this guy. I feel like you are like gen alpha. This might be like your new favorite movie. Interstellar. Vince, have you noticed that as a film critic that young people think interstellar is like the best movie of all time? They do? Oh, I love that about them. I too love interstellar. So maybe I'm young at heart and I didn't know it all this time.

Miles just watched it for the first time. That's so fucked up, dude. He saw his kid turn to Casey Affleck. And that's what this planet does. Everyone who goes here. watches their kid turn in to Casey Affleck. Then you got to cry watching a TV screen. Sorry, not for me, but I did like the message. When he wasn't falling asleep, he was, oh, but I was going to say, like, that would be the only way for him to go that would prevent the inevitable civil war that's going to happen because everyone's going to assume he was assassinated, no matter how he dies, you know, that's going.

Like, unless it happens on camera and he's just sitting there, you know, even then we're probably fucked. Anyways, when he wasn't falling asleep, he was calling himself the father of fertility, which let's just move past that. Yeah. And so at this point, RFK Jr. decided to open his mouth and rant about the imaginary fertility crisis that is threatening national security. It's a threat not only to our economy, but also to our national security. Our nation's sperm stockpiles are dangerously low. Right. And I need to do something about, it personally. We're down to seven million barrels of my spurn alone. Do you see the John Mullaney like standout? Somebody taped him doing a stand-up special where he was just talking about

RFK Jr. and how he cheats on his wife like a dog. Cheats on his wife like a dog. We all just pretend that he doesn't. Anyways, well now we have an excuse for why because he's concerned for our national security and that there aren't enough men with strong enough sperm out here. In 1970, men had twice the sperm count as our teenagers do today, he said. Oh, let's hear that.

Such a weird way of putting that. Yeah, well, I mean, let me hear from his mouth first and let me see if that convinces me. You don't think my impression of him is good? In 2007, for men at 1970, men had twice the sperm count as our teenagers do today. Trump is actively falling asleep in front of him. This is essential asleep.

What the fuck? Is this a thing where he's, is it just because of the fucking workforce? Because usually when they start fucking banging the drone, like, there's not enough babies. it's like we need we're going to need more labor to exploit yeah it's i think it's that i think it's also that there's like a study that said that this is accurate but they say that the study was drawn from sperm samples from people who are having trouble conceiving so it's like that

used to not be a thing that people could do much about and so now it's much more you have many more samples of people who have low sperm counts because you can now do IVF and stuff that like yeah where are you getting available to more people where are you getting teenage sperm right yeah exactly that's just sock drawer in my experience yeah sure it just like it pops up right as the kids jack when you say that though you're it does beg like a follow up you're like I'm sorry where are these teenage sperm what's your samples yeah I get that if adults who are having fertility issues are submitting for them, like, you're using that, but like,

yeah, it's just like a single cherry-picked study that allows them to be like, men aren't men anymore. And, like, one of the things he said is that a teenager today, an average American teenager, has less testosterone than a 68-year-old man, a 68-year-old man, which I think is, like, around his age. So he just, you know. A 67 and two-thirds-year-old man

who has been getting testosterone injections for the last 17 years. It does feel like one of those things, too, where boomers convinced themselves, too, that's why they need to stay in power. Because I've got all the sperm and testosterone still. And these little fucking soy fuckers out here couldn't fucking, ah. In 1970 teenagers, we're shooting three to six hot, thick ropes.

And now it's barely dribbling out. A more recent study in the journal of fertility and sterility found no clinically significant decline in sperm concentration among confirmed fertile men and the general male U.S. population without known infertility. So it's just, you know. I think birth rate panic is like, it's like the, it's like the, it's like the, the eugenics indicator. It's always like a very thin fig leaf for eugenics. It's like Elon Musk worrying about the birth rate. every day. And it's like, is that really what you're worrying about?

Like, I don't see the world population declining in any significant way. No, no, no. And usually, like, the billionaires want to find out how they can get rid of a bunch of people on the planet, if anything. But I think it's probably when they see that the trends of how America is going to be a minority white country. Yeah. Yeah, that's what they don't like. You're not going to stop that. The New York Times actually just did a op edge that was like, we have this crazy new idea about, like,

why the birth rate might be dropping among the, you know, certain, certain people. And we think it might be a combination of things just getting shittier and shittier and the overall vibe being fucked up and bad, which is something that like we had proposed years ago. But it's like, I don't know, I think this climate change existential disaster might be a bigger deal than you guys are giving it credit for with this younger generate. Like, they seem to be pretty concerned validly about the fact that you guys have seen that the world is going to be a horrible place to live due to your decisions and haven't changed the decisions. It seems like it might be a problem. Just at a basic level, like, when your parents ask you why you're not having more kids, it's always like, how big of a house do you think that I can afford?

Right. I know that houses were like $26,000 when you guys were, uh, are. They were 25. Yeah. Right. Okay. It was crazy in 82, you know? Couldn't get what you can now.

All right. Let's check in with another person who's been less visible as of late. We did catch him running out of the White House correspondent's dinner using his wife as a human shield. His pregnant wife, I believe. Wasn't he like grabbing her boob too? There's like a little bit. A photo people were like, what the fuck? And was that Mark, I would think I was out when this happened.

But do you see like, I think it was in the background? was Mark Wayne Mullen, like a little fucking groundhog who's peeking them from a table in the background of the fish. He's like, he. Yeah. Yeah. And Cash Patel's girlfriend, getting separated and being in a room holding hands with another man. She was not holding hands with anybody else. This is confirmed.

That was a tactical handhold. Tactical, okay? But yeah, that's really all I've seen is him using his wife as a young man. Yeah, he's been in, he's also been in a tactical or. treat since the ice fuckery became out just unhinged and totally murderous in Minnesota. This is just one of the things that people have, you know, written about the relationship between Trump and Stephen Miller, quote, the Deputy White House Chief of Staff was reported

earlier this week to have been frozen out of major Department of Homeland Security calls after he dragged the president into politically toxic territory by branding Alex Preti, the 37-year-old ICU nurse blasted to death by Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis, a quote, domestic terrorist. And a lot of that fallout, Trump, I think it's, you know, because Trump's always like, that was a fuck up. Who do I put that all on as a way to make it all go away? And it seems like, in his sort of mental shorthand, that was all Stephen Miller's fault. And so now I think it's, it's probably a co, what is it, a mutually agreed retreat from the spotlight between Trump and Miller. Because the reports are also that he's now just kind of like, he's still trying to sort of

shape immigration policy, even though he's being kind of frozen out of these meetings, where Tom Homan, the quote unquote borders are, is sort of now like the face of everything, while he is like, while him and Miller sort of coordinate things. And all the while Mark Wayne Mullen isn't really getting much done. Like he has people that he wants to install into home and security, but like Miller and Homan are putting like the kibosh on things. So it's a, right now there's a bit of a tussle in terms of who is really, really going to be, get to be chief racist at the White House. Well, Stephen Miller also does that thing where he, you know, he's, he's, he's toadying

super hard and he wants to be, like, Trump's chief toady, but I don't think he can ever achieve that because I think Trump is just two vibes based and he just looks at that guy and he's like, I don't like this ugly little guy. He makes me, probably, he must, like, make audible, like, ugh, sounds when he sees him, you know? Oh, yeah. That was like when he met with Mom Donnie, he was probably like, why can't any of my guys look just like nice and young and handsome like this? What's your secret?

Yeah. What's my secret? I'm not a vile racist piece of shit, self-loather. I said, I got this bald guy who looks like he has the disease from thinner. Yeah, he's got, like, I mean, the stories around, like, what he's been doing ever since all of this. It does just, does paint a picture of him trying to sort of recalibrate after trying to be the face of, like, demanding, like, I want 3,000 arrests today. Right now, ICE, I mean, ICE never got close to. of that quota. They're doing about 30% of that goal. But he's also apparently like the sort of like

the daily calls or he's screaming at people and giving people panic attacks. He's also dialed that back. So I think he's also trying to figure out too by being a toady like, okay, I don't want to be too front and center, but also he just he can't keep himself away from, you know, really informing the immigration policy. Just what he loves. Yeah. He's that he was. He was, put on this earth to do one thing, you know? Yeah, make people miserable. Be a racist piece of shit. All right.

Well, you hate to see it. You hate to see a guy's career. I don't wish bad things on anything. I mean, here's the thing. I don't think this means really the end. Like, Stephen Miller's calculating. Yeah, exactly. Like, he's just like, oh, okay, okay, okay.

Let me go in the shadows really quick. I'll let one of these other people fuck up and then I'll try and step in. Like, when you look at how many of the people like Roger Stone and people like that, who were these open, like, white supremacists behind the scenes, Nixon people who were just allowed to just, like, kind of chill. And, like, you know, after, when they were out of power, they were just, like, in the background still, like,

plotting their takeover. Just doing swinger stuff? Yeah, just doing weird swinger stuff, just having weird sex parties. I do, like, how do we prevent, that like what I really feel like people need to be running on platforms of like we are going to prosecute these people to the fullest extent of the law like the Trump administration like just it there needs to be a hard stop yeah what has happened in this administration and like just the

like this is no longer just politics like this is no longer we're just playing politics and it's like well you know we uh they won this time and we don't want them to prosecute us when they're in office. It's like, well, no, but you don't commit. They already are. We're crimes. And they, yeah, and they're already trying. They're like, you stood near an ice facility. Indicted. Yeah, yeah. It's, it really needs to be, like,

that that's when I feel like I'll start trusting that something is actually different. The Democratic Party is, like, starting to understand how dire the situation is and how, you know, how much they need to change. It's not coming from them. I mean, like, they look, they could, they, they fucking let these people get a, pass for 2020 and the insurrection. And it feels like just with the way they're responding to all the gerrymandering,

they're going to, I feel like if the Democrats end up like winning the midterms, despite all the election map fuckery going on, they're also going to be like, ah, see, we got, we got through that other thing that's just festering in the background that we haven't addressed. They're always thinking like, oh, this is going to help us six months from now

in some election. And it's like, you realize that people's attention span doesn't go more than three weeks. weeks nowadays. Like, you need to stay on this. Otherwise, it's just going to go away like it did before. Yeah, it's just whackamol, but every time they go in their hidey hole, they're just kind of like recalibrating, trying to get a little bit smarter about how to do it because all those 20-20 people that got a pass, they're also still in Trump's ear and also the same people that are also talking about how like, you know, gerrymandering is going to be the thing that saves the GOP from electoral annihilation because they could just,

you know, cheat. they're still thinking in terms of like, oh, this is going to be great material for one of my frantic fundraising emails. Yes, that's right. Texts. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

We've never had their attention like we do today. It does seem like I have to assume as they see people get more and more checked out on the Democratic Party. They're like, okay, maybe that's not working anymore. Maybe,

but that is, no. They've created a crop of centrist assassins because like they, like people are realizing that like, electoral politics and policy is so unstuck from public opinion that they've driven they've driven like the the sober centrist's to become uh you know political assassins yeah the the correspondent's dinner shooter was like a lib twitter guy right he was a blue sky he was a blue sky yeah

he was like uh like responding to like ezra klein and stuff like that oh man radicalized by Ezra Klein. Let's take a quick break. We'll be right back.

West World. Forgot it existed for a lot of those, for a lot of years there. I feel like it could become like sci-fi Grey's Anatomy. We're like, wait, that's too long? Yeah. We're in season 19.

Oh, shit. I mean, in the beginning, I remember the first season. I was like, this is cool. And then I was like, oh, there's going to be some Japanese shit. And like that they did like kind of tease they were going to go outside of the Western. Right.

I stopped watching by the time they were supposedly doing that. Well, season two had the thing where it's like, oh, man, this seems really smart still. But now it feels like homework and I'm lost. Right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it's been announced that. So the show was canceled a couple years ago. Canceled before they could, before they could answer all the questions that they had, all those, you know, mystery box.

questions and in no way were they just going to keep leading the line out on all of those. But it's now been announced that screenwriter David Cope, who famously adapted Jurassic Park, is penning a reboot of Westworld, which is another Michael Crichton story about a theme park outing that turns deadly. And if you didn't watch the HBO show, it's basically, like, you go and you live in a Western and get to like kill people. people and have sex with sex workers and, you know, everything is safe because they're all robots. So you can do crime to them too.

Yeah. That's other part too. Yeah. Do whatever the fuck you want there in Delos. Or what was it on Delos? They, they like become self-aware and decide they're, they're tired of it. It's the AI is such that like, you know,

it's almost indistinguishable from being alive, essentially. And it was, it was, fun, the project has reportedly attracted the interest of a mysterious major filmmaker, and people are thinking that might be Spielberg because Cope wrote Disclosure Day, which is the new Steven Spielberg movie. And also, Steven Spielberg has recently been talking about how he's planning on making a Western that kicks ass. Oh, boy. So it won't. They're going to be like, surprise, it's actually Brett Ratner again. Sorry about that. These are only filmmaker from now on. Yeah, that's the only guy gets to do it. Donald Trump said he gets to make Westworld now. What happened with him? Donald Trump

said he was going to make another rush hour movie and then we sort of forgot about it for a while. We didn't, Vince. We've been following it closely and it turns out that they are offering Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker like $8 million and they made 20 on the last one. So they were just like, oh, you think we're going to have to pay them again? Right. It's like, it's like, it's like, Like, yeah, no, that's why people didn't make it before this. It's because they didn't have the money to pay the stars of the existing very popular franchise. It turns out it wasn't wokeness. They killed it.

They were just like, yeah, this isn't making money anymore. We've made too many of it. Their latest news is because Trump is taking this, like, he's taking a bunch of billionaires to China, which is fucking, just read that list of names that you, you know, as your new. Some of the greats. Yeah, some of the greats. But Brett Ratner is also going on that trip I was reading because he's trying to lay some groundwork for the Rush Hour 4 movie, like, quote, including meetings with crew members, actors and potential Chinese film distribution partners. He's also planning to shoot most of the film in China. A source added.

So that's not going away because I think it's the one feature film that Brett Ratner can make before people are like, aren't you like a sex? She's busy researching age of consent laws in the internet. Exactly. Yeah. It's very, yeah, I don't know where that goes. But, yeah, the Westworld thing is just so, like, I don't even understand the why. We can, it's not like it's been like 50 years since, you know, Westworld's gone. We're even 10 where people are like, yeah, we fucking reboot it.

Yeah. So, yeah, I'd say the problems with this project would be one that they just did a, like, pretty serviceable HBO series about it. And, like, this would be completely unrelated to that. The other problem would be that people. Like, does anybody care about Westerns? Have they made a Western that was like a blockbuster success since, like, the Unforgiven? Like, in early 90s?

Yeah. Like, was that a, I don't think that was a massive. Yeah, it was a, yeah, that's true. It was a people like it. I'm forgiven. I love. Like, that's one of my faves. But, like, I don't.

Yeah, I just, I don't feel like it's a lot lively genre. Well, I guess, like, if you count, like, the Taylor Sheridan universe. Right. The neo-Western. If you're going to throw, like, which then it feels, for old men in there, then, yeah. This is probably the great compromise

between the tech oligarchs and the MAGA right wingers where they're like, okay, look, dude, you get your Western, I get to violate robots. Here's Westbrook, and we're all happy. Creighton, when he first wrote it, like, it was based on a trip he took to Disney,

and it was basically inspired by Pirates of the Caribbean and him being like, what if that was actually put out of the wall? Yeah, what if these little fuck was down on the wall? And he ultimately, like a huge cum shot. Yeah, just like blasts him.

I'm not trying to ruin anyone's day. I'm not trying to. I'm just saying. And it was going to be like pirate world. And he ultimately changed it out of concern that Disney might sue him to Westworld. But like, even he was like, I don't know. Do people really want a Western? If they did West World pirate world, I'm in.

I'm in again. Well, I do think it's a good, like, repeatable, like, if you did Westworld and then it was like, every different movie was just, like, taking place inside a robotic recreation of a different genre. Like, this is about dads that really wanted to live inside Master and Commander. Like, yeah, I'm back in now. We've all been there. For all the millennials who had to decide if they were a ninja or a pirate, you know, now there's a Westworld for you. That's right.

I get Ninja World. I mean, that's got to be in there. Also, Michael Creighton didn't even want to put Jurassic Park as a theme park because it is so similar to Westworld. He, like, nearly didn't set, like, it took him a while to land on theme park because he was like, well, I already did the theme park thing. So here's the one thing that's making me kind of optimistic or, like, think this could be interesting, is the original Westworld story does speak to, like, the current moment, not just because it's about exploiting it. abusing AI for the petty amusement of wealthy people. But the original movies theme park is basically a sci-fi riff on the Manosphere. The main character is recently divorced and like an emasculated modern man who gets taken to Westworld by his buddy James Brolin purely so he can like gun down bad guys and like have sex with robot women to become like a real man again. Ah, yes, the solution. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Which, like, I do feel like that could happen in our, like, I feel like the right, the Manosphere would love something like that, you know.

But would it be more of a commentary on them or they would just look at and be like, exactly, dude, this is exactly what we eat. I'm assuming it would be a commentary on that, not just like, yeah, sick, right? We're going to build one. That dude shot a bunch of fucking robot tough guys and now he's got like three girlfriends Now his sperm count has gone through the roof. It's just like a prepper fantasy. Like, oh, I wish somebody would attack my homestead.

Yeah. Yeah, right, right. I think that's what zombie movies essentially are, right? Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah. A fantasy of getting to, it's like all the hunters of the world are like, what if we were really important suddenly, you know? Right, right, right.

What if I could kill stuff and it was like acceptable for you to do that? And people thought it was cool. People celebrate. There's zombies. You could kill them. You just blow them all up. And what if they were like really slow? Because I'm actually not.

That could have shot. What if they kind of held still? Yeah. So I could just fucking blow them away. You could shoot him from this chair. Like all the latter day Stephen Seagall movies. Yes. All right.

And finally, we did just want to talk about the ballroom because it is so important to our dear president. He's off on one again today talking about. about how great it's going to be and how it's under budget actually. This is what he, when he was talking about, how we doubled it in size. Yeah. Yeah. But then they're like, so the price stuff.

Because also, like, it went from like $300 million to $400 million. Now they're asking for a billion dollars. And so, yeah, this reporter was like, hey, well, what the fuck are you even talking about, dude? So what happened is we have a ballroom that's under budget. It's going up right here. I've doubled the size of it because we're, We obviously need that. And we're right now on budget, under budget, and ahead of schedule.

The price is doubled. I double the size of it, you dumb person. It's double the size. You are not a smart person. Wow. He gets very testy when people are attacking his ballroom, you know? Oh, yeah. Of course.

His fucking weird scam ballroom, half Heidi hole, half data center, half bunker, half medical. Yeah. We don't even fucking know at this point what the fuck it is. He just listened to the ballroom blitz too many times. He was like, yeah, it's such a good song that,

you know, it became real to him. Right. He's like, yeah, he's like, find me this Cassandra Wong. She's beautiful the way she sings it.

Was he just watching Wayne's world? At one point he stated that it's, because the ballroom will be twice the size due to deep-rooted studies. Like, what? That just truly sounds like me trying to make shit up.

He was using Australian slang again. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. And for a long time, it was, by the way, no government funds. Now they're asking for a billion dollars taxpayer money. And it seems like he's also using

the construction as a side hustle because the dirt and debris is being excavated from the East Wing construction site and shipped straight to the East Potomac Golf Links, which is a public course in Washington, D.C. And now golfers have the honor of playing

next to a massive mountain of historic filth. Yeah. And what I'm talking about Trump's golf partners? Am I right? There's a little small fence to keep you from digging for Obama's cigarette butts in there. But it's, yeah, it's there. I mean, it was interesting because your people are like,

this is all dirt. Take it to a dumb. Famous dirt. White House ter. Why take it to a golf course? So my first guess was that they were going to try to build an actual Mount Olympus for him and his family and friends to live on top of. He had another ex-wife to bury.

He's like, we buried her way, way, way, way, way down there. Employees at the golf course at first said that the dirt would simply be used to make another hole, but now it's being recorded. I need all this dirt for a hole. We need a 19 goal. Yeah. And now it's being reported that he's considering rebranding the course as the Washington National Golf Course and had even mocked up a new golden logo for it that's nearly identical to those of the courses that he owns. Okay. Yeah. They're just taking the ballroom. He uses every part, you know. He takes the hole that he's building and takes the dirt from that and builds a new golf course.

It would be funny if you and you didn't even want the ballroom. He's just like, I need dirt for the golf course. How do we get the dirt? Let's dig up the East Ballroom and then that's free dirt that I can use to build the golf course. And then I own the golf course. Perfect. Because it's my dirt. I don't even know how, what?

Do you need more dirt to build a new golf course like on top of an existing one? You just need to plant some more grass seeds, no? I don't understand it. It looks like because they're adding more land mass and stuff. You know, like it's... So they're just like going to make an island next to this golf course that they're just going to... Yeah, they're doing the Dubai thing where they just make, you know, an island shape like a palm tree. Right, right, right.

Yeah, I don't know. It's hard to see because I'm looking at what it looks like now versus like what these mockups are. Right. So he is doing mockups. Everything's just like, he's just a developer. That's all he is. He's just like, as long as I can have a little. miniature golf course that I can show people.

This also just feels like this, like, you know, because he's such, he's slipping into darkness, that they have to come up with little projects for him that don't involve killing scores of people. Right. Sir, what if we make a golf course? That's a fucking great fucking idea, dude. Yeah, there was that story about when he was supposed to be meeting with like the Israelis to, like, discuss the Iran ceasefire plan and he just like started talking about his ballroom and how great it was for like 25 minutes. It's like that's clearly his passion project. All the other stuff is like

craft that he got sucked into and doesn't want any part of. But he's like, you know what? We got a ballroom. It's going to be beautiful. There's so many reports about how he's frustrated and quote bored with the Iran war. And you're like, sure, because the guy has the same. Yeah. So let's let's wrap this thing up. So that's what we get is we get these just obscene, weird fucking projects to keep him busy. And then they're like, yeah, yeah, just put all this

toxic dirt over here. Yeah, yeah, that is one other thing is that as the dirt started piling up, the D.C. Preservation League and two neighbors filed an injunction to protect the public land. And in it, they suggested that the White House debris could contain lead

and asbestos. See, got you. You said it could contain lead and asbestos. So the White House was like, no test has indicated any contamination. They were like, yeah, that's because we haven't run a test here. We're going to run a test. And a recent soil test shared from the National Park Service

showed that the dirt did, in fact, test positive for lead, chromium, and other toxic materials. Yeah, but if you have asbestos in the golf course, then it can't catch on fire. There it is. Smart. That is smart. That is the main problem.

You know those terrible. wildfires that break out on the Potomac. Yes. On the golf courses, spontaneous golf course fires. Yeah. Jesus Christ. It's just so fucking, just out in the open nonsense constantly. This time it's like, where do we do the dirt?

I build a fucking poisonous golf course. We found that the reason teenager's sperm is declining is because there's not enough asbestos in the land. In the golf courses. They do call me the father of fertility. A federal judge has been forced to weigh in on the, the matter. And she's going with the, I'll allow it, but let's get where you're going fast. She's allowing the dumping to continue, but warned of serious consequences if the Trump administration

moved ahead at speed with its reported redevelopment plans. I do feel like this, this is a good little toehold for maybe the storming of golf courses and like occupying them, which I just think needs to happen at some point. Like that should be a part of the arrest everybody in this administration and try them for capital crimes and murder. Yeah. I do feel like also we're taking the golf courses back from these motherfuckers. Like, would be, it would be a fun.

More people just need to get robbed outside of a golf course. Yeah, exactly. And then people are like, oh, my God, I can't, oh, my God, golf is so dangerous these days. The people somehow have identified me as someone having the means to just hand over my shit. Yeah. I know. Who me? Guy with like hyped up socks, stupid pants from like the little fuzzy ball hat.

Yeah, yeah. Traditional Irish golf hat or Scottish golf hat. I know what you're thinking and I only carry $2,000 of cash on me at any given time. So you're not going to have the take that you thought you did, fellas. Oh, shit. I have $3,000 on me. Is that okay? Okay.

out of a gas station, sort of a bond me. We have a couple Lao food places inside gas stations in Fresno that are surprisingly good. Oh, shit.

Is there a work of media you've been enjoying? A work of media. Oh, we're talking funny tweets and things. You may do whatever you want with them. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I like the one from Murder Brian on. on Blue Sky. I'll bet the guys that knew Will I.

When he was William fucking hate his guts. And then in the replies, someone dug up the origin story or the response. I had a similar thought that led me to look up

how long he's been calling himself that. And the answer is since he was 13. Wow. And it's like a clip from an article. Will I.M. has let slip the secret behind his very trendy name. I love,

I love they described. that is very trendy. The Black Eyed Peas frontman, real name William Adams, admitted his mom gave the knot of approval to his switched up moniker at the age of 13, just when his creative streak started to show.

A week tweet, work of media I liking is from at the Ars family 97.

It just says cinema and it's a video because look, Arsenal had a very, very slim win over the weekend that keeps us in the title race.

This guy was on his knees screaming at full time. And I have to say, we're just trying to let it all work out. The other one is just this video I just saw that said, The Future is Here by At Whole Mars.

It's a guy in a Waymo just puking out of the side. Peking over the edge. All down the white exterior. The future has well and truly arrived. It's just so funny that the dude is just like, yo, you'll pull up to this Waymo. This dude's puking. This dude's puking.

And that guy just like, out of it, just like, come on, guys. I'm not getting it in the way, Mo. I do wonder if drunk driving has dropped way down with, uh, with advent. Waymo.
