Hey, I'm Cal Penn, and on my new podcast, here we go again. We'll take today's trends and headlines and ask, why does history keep repeating itself?

Put another way, are you high? Look, the world can seem pretty scary right now. But my goal here is for you to listen and feel a little better about the future. Listen and subscribe to here we go

again with Cal Penn on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hello, the internet, and welcome to this episode of the Dave Matthews Trend Incident. That one courtesy of vanadium silver, a cultural

touchstone. Unlike any other rain down on me. Rain down upon them. There was another one. I think a Democrat clapped back and then did one where they're dropping poop on them now. It was like so stupid. Out of a vehicle onto someone's head. I think it was a jet. I think someone just

flipped the jet video. It was like, what if it's a Democrat in the jet? I'm like, what if you guys fucking called for some real tangible action? I mean, were they in Chicago? That was a question that I had. Was that meant to be Chicago? where he was shitting on people. No, it looked like Times Square.

Okay. Or at least part, I mean, look, it's all like a AI. It's all like AI Malone. Yeah, exactly. But yeah, anybody who's like, this is a reference to top gun. It's a reference to the Chicago incident first and foremost. Yeah, right, right. People don't know though.

People don't know history. People don't know their history and that's the problem with America, you know? Oh, you know about pay market and the martyrs there, but you don't know about the fucking Dave Matthew's shit bus? Are you really from Chicago? Can you imagine having Dave Matthews shit rain down on you and then going on and living the rest of your life? My grandparents from Chicago moved out here to L.A. in the 50s. And right before both of them passed, they told me to come close and they say, never forget the Dave Matthews shit bus.

I never forget what we moved so you could avoid. Yep. We caught you out of that environment. Brian, the editor just said so many open mouth. Because we do have to assume that there was like some sound that caused a few people to look up. Anyways, we're not going to talk about this anymore ever again. It's season 411. That is our promise to you.

Only the information. None of it about the Dave Matthews band is made. Promise is broken. My name is Jack O'Brien. That over there is Miles Gray. We're both wearing our Dodgers hats. Yep. I was just telling you that my seven-year-old is now.

quoting, a line that is from all over social media, but I first heard it from Matt Leeb. Matt Leeb. Yeah. I want to fight me, daw. I say that a lot. And now my seven-year-old says, I want to fight me, da. Wait, it's all over the end.

I only knew it from Matt. I think because Matt introduced me to the game. I didn't know what the game was. I didn't know. I just remember back in the cracked days, like early YouTube, one of the great genres of YouTube videos was people in Ireland calling each other out and saying they wanted to fight each other

and I see. I'm pretty sure I saw somebody say that they wanted to fight their DA back then. But I think it's a Matt Lieb original. So yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Shout out to Matt Lee. Oh, like sort of like the old, like, school, Irish bare knuckle boxing tradition. Exactly.

Like when they're doing like those wrestler videos to each other. It's like wrestling videos except they're really drunk And they're just, like, in a very, like, low energy thing talking about how, like, I fought to a cousin and now I'm going to come for you. Yeah, right. They're kind of wobbly on their feet already. I saw a documentary about that that was saying, like, about how, like, this is just, like, these, like, familial tensions, like, for generations.

Tribal shit going all the way back. But the advent of home video really made it. So, like, you just got the whole crew, like, on a horse carriage behind you. And you're talking wild shit. Yeah. And it's raining yet. All right. And we do have confirmation.

Brian, the editor says Google came up with nothing for I want to fight me, da. So that is a Matt Lieb original. And I will insist that my seven-year-old cite him. He is doing a little accent work these days. I think I told you before that he was in a little, like, production of one of the songs from the Matilda Netflix musical. And everybody was like,

my daddy says I'm special and he came through and was like my daddy says I'm a special boy his best friend is British and so he he's really he's like what uh he's just constantly working oh hell yeah yeah for him bro he got a career I mean we already knew he had the Riz bro he does have the Riz Khalifa bro you're um you're in trouble that documentary called Knuckle that's the documentary I'm talking about yeah 2011 uh knuckle um all right uh Uh, my name's Jack, that over there's Miles. These are some of the things that are trending. Uh, it's been reported by TMZ that Trump is considering commuting ditty sentence as early as this week.

All right, man. Wow. Wow. Wow. Great. And the white, the white house came back and was like, this is your reporting is junk. And they just posted an update. They were like, update.

The white house, uh, denies this. We stand by our reporting. So they say, according to our source, the president is vacillating on commutation. We're told some of the White House staff are urging Trump not to commute the sentence. Our source states the obvious. Trump will do what he wants. And we're told Trump could set ditty free as early as this week. God.

I mean, look, it's on brand. These people protect other sex offenders. Sex offender billionaires. Yeah. That's the, I mean, it's so funny. And Trump is probably like this will probably help with the black community. If they do this. Completely not knowing that most black people are like, get him out of here.

Yeah. Except for like the crew of like older people that were outside the court being like, let him go. Yeah. But it's just, it's telling that his staff is trying to convince him this is a bad look at a time when he's potentially implicated in a sex crime ring that seems to be like the biggest challenge to his popularity to date with his base.

And that message just. not getting through to him to the point that he is like they're having to be like no no no no he's not doing that and then they're like we talk to him he seems you know that like TM's doing that shit

he unfortunately just answers every call he gets so we like talk to him three times a day but seems like he's particularly tone deaf on Epstein on sex crimes I feel like he's usually good at saying a dumb thing

that will get dumb people to be like there he addressed it we're good but on epstein he keeps too in it he is too deep yeah like why are we still talking about this guy he's dead yeah because he doesn't want to be like what because i i did i did nothing what did i do those three ghosts that visited me last night they uh you don't know about that they're not really there uh i wonder if it's i i think it has to be that nobody is talking to him honestly about it because it's too like it's like having the talk with your kids sure yeah yeah yeah can't be like look people think you might be a pedophile without making him angry so i yeah like i i always talk about this but i think it's one of the

most underrated anecdotes in all of history very very pivotal that hitler's generals on the morning of d day just sat back and didn't want to wake him up because they They were scared. He was going to be mad at them. Yeah. And he was like really cranky when he woke up. And they were like paralyzed. They weren't making moves as they waited for him to wake up.

So what happened in Normandy? A couple boats showed up. So. But yeah, as you pointed out, the only time he's not doing something explicitly racist is when it's a sex crime that he can. Yeah. I mean, I think at this point, it, people are. I don't know. I mean, like, the journal, the mainstream media has to do a better job of this. But again, this is like the one consistent thing from this administration is they will, they absolutely have no problem with pedophilia, sex offenders, domestic violence as we've seen with, you know, one of the members of the house, you know, getting a restraining order against them for being like an absolute fucking creep threatening an ex-girlfriend and all this other shit.

Mike Johnson's like, I don't think, I don't think it's actually that serious. So we just needs to get covenant eyes on his phone and I think he'll be all right. Something. All right. Also in Trump news, we're seeing the literal destruction of the White House. Yeah. With the beginning of construction on his ballroom. Gody ballroom, yeah.

Gaudy. Yeah. Not gaudy. Goddy. And so I guess when it started, he was like, we're not going to touch the East wing the east wing is one of my favorite parts we're gonna build the ballroom near the existing building cut to today where the east wing is fucking just wrecked it looks like got a hit by a missile yes i mean obviously they're just they're they're doing demolition so yeah it's being torn apart

but like it's just fucking it's it's nuts to see again like saying the literal destruction of the white house yes uh not that i give a shit about it but like it's just metaphoric just it's metaphor and literal. Everything's happening at the same time and you're like, oh, God, all this so he can have a 90,000 square foot ballroom being paid for with bribes or private funding? Private funding. We're calling it private funding. Yeah, yeah. Private funding from patriots who want to see a sick ballroom. The most patriotic thing possible in this country, you know, supposedly founded on, you know, suspicion of, the monarchy and the wealthy and the most patriotic thing you can do is create a literal gilded ballroom attached to the seat of the building that is the seat of the executive. This is, of course, the ballroom that when a reporter said, sir, my condolences on the loss of your friend Charlie Kirk, how are you holding up over the last day and a half, sir? Trump responded, I think very good.

and by the way, right there, you see all the trucks. They've just started construction on the new ballroom for the White House. I'm surprised you didn't say, yeah, yeah, more on that later. Yeah, it was basically more on that later. Yeah, yeah, more on that later. Look at my, look at the construction. Like, I have trucks. They're there.

It is, yeah, it's violent. Yeah, I mean, look, down with the building that slaves built. I mean, I know this, I think this part has actually only been up since the 40s. So, yeah, yeah. Not the traditional slave labor that built the main way. But he's obviously sensitive about it because he's ordered federal employees not to share photos of the construction, which I don't know if he thought, like, how big he thought the construction would be. But like, you can see that shit from everywhere. Like, it's, it is a big hole.

Yeah. Yeah, to your point, the Truman reconstruction of the White House basically gutted the entire building in 1950. The reason for that was not just because he liked to go. old or some shit, you know, an offer from like Boeing or something. Right. To rebuild it. It was done because the building was apparently falling apart. Truman

nearly fell naked into his wife's daughters of the American Revolution meeting while taking a bath. Which, I just going to read from this historic account. One day, while President Harry S. Truman took a bath upstairs, a great

blue room chandelier threatened to crash down on his wife, Bess, and her guests from the daughters of the American Revolution. The president later joked that he might have unexpectedly dropped through the ceiling naked on the ladies below, and he confessed that the incident made him nervous, which is where he said the upstairs floor sagged and moved like a ship at sea, which is not great for the second floor of building to do that. I will say, if you're taking a bath above a chandelier and that chandelier is rocking.

yeah if the sandaliers are rocking don't come a knocking what was he doing up there like he's just don't worry man why is he on trial i got into the bathtub and started vigorously jacking off i was quite embarrassed at the situation an even better way if if he had fallen through the ceiling in a bathtub whilst jacking also presuming you don't die from falling from that height in a bathtub It's not a cartoon. You're like, plop on the table. And you're like, oh, oh, the president's naked. What would have happened to America, American exceptionalism if at that, like, during the Truman administration, the president had jacked off so hard in the bathtub.

He fell through the floor and died. Like, his neck broke on the thing and was just, just. press and eyewitnesses watching him die dick in hand in a bathtub yeah um yeah feel like that would i think i think that would have maybe you know been a good thing in the long run i don't know it would have been hard to keep up with uh the colonial values that americans pretend to expect i mean it could have been like you know maybe a bit of karma because what if that's still like the original structure that was i mean there was uh what 18 14 rebuilt like you know maybe it would have been poetic that the building used

with slave labor killed the president but no but yeah as you mentioned a lot the real reason to be pretty annoyed at this this guy is so damn annoying

is that it's basically just being used as a way to like funnel money to Trump by 100% corporations they said it was being funded by quote, many generous patriots

whose identities are unclear, but it's previously reported that the money is all coming from corporations like Google, Lockheed Martin, Palantir, and Next Era Energy.

Cool, cool, cool, Palantir. Yeah, I feel like we need them to get a little bit more involved. I feel like they don't

quite have their fingers in enough pot. Peter Thiel is so bored, man, he just, he needs more on his plate. I mean, the Antichrist stuff

isn't enough. I know. I need somebody who believes in the Antichrist stuff. to have a little bit more power. That's always what I'm pushing for. Last week, he held a special dinner

to thank the corporate ballroom funders and attendees included reps from Microsoft, meta, Amazon, and Apple, and their companies that are all pushing for looser regulations on artificial intelligence and other technology. Yeah, like tariff carve-outs for their materials. They all, everyone needs something.

Yeah. Lockheed Martin is trying to get this, they've pledged $10 million to the golden ballroom. because they're trying to land the $175 billion golden dome contract, which I think that's a pretty good return. That's the missile defense thing. Yeah, that's his idea is like what we've built for Israel. We'll have that here because obviously we're under constant. Constant missile attack.

Yeah. But again, it's a way to just bleed more money to the military industrial complex. And again, 10 million to get 175 billion? Yeah, exactly. It's like, yeah, corruption is. great investment when you just have somebody who's like, yeah, I'll do corruption. Give me, give me the money. I want to build a thing.

I want to build a room where I can have parties. Like, people are like, but what does he get? Like, are they funneling extra money in? And most people are like, no, he just really wants this ballroom. Because he wants to be gaudy as, isn't he doesn't be, isn't it supposed to have so much gold or something, too? Like everything. It's, oh, I mean, if, yeah, it's going to look like a Trump thing, which is just like

covered in gold and like. marble and white paint and bullshit. Yeah, classy. Yeah. His obsession with the White House ballroom actually predates his presidency. Back in 2010, he reached out to David Axelrod and tried to pitch his idea for a White House ballroom

and bragged, I build the greatest ballrooms and they kind of blew him off. And at writer JM asks the important question, had they just let him build the stupid fucking ballroom would he have bothered running for president like has this just been a long play for him to build this ballroom yeah right like it's completed and he's like i can finally rest take me home made my gaudy ballroom this will stop the ghosts from visiting me at night

they demand it let's uh let's take a quick break we'll be right back shaping the world's economies and financial markets can be hard to spot. Even though they are such a powerful player in finance, you wouldn't really know that you are interacting with them. And even harder to understand. Donald Trump's trade war, 2.0, is only accelerating the process of de-dollarization, which in a way is jargon for people turning away from the dollar. That is where the big take from Bloomberg podcast comes in, to connect the dots. How unusual is a deal like this?

Every weekday afternoon, we dive deep into one big global business story. The biggest story of the reaction of the oil market to the conflict in the Middle East is one of what has not happened. Katie, you told me that ETFs are your favorite thing. They are. Explain that. Why is that the case? And unpack what it means for you. Our breakfast foods are consistent consumer staples, and so they sort of become outsized indicators of inflation. Listen to the big take from Bloomberg News every weekday after.

In the new podcast, Hell in Heaven, two young Americans moved to the Costa Rican jungle to start over, but one will end up dead. The other tried for murder. Not once. People went wild. Not twice. Stunned. But three times. John and Anne Bender are rich and attractive and they're devoted to each other. They create a nature reserve and build a spectacular, circular home

high on the top of a hill. But little by little, their dream starts to crumble and our couple retreat from reality. They lose it. They actually lose it. They sort of went nuts. Until one night, everything spins out of control. Listen to Helen Heaven.

Hey, I'm Cal Penn, and on my new podcast, Here We Go Again, we'll take today's trends and headlines and ask, why does history keep repeating itself? You may know me as the second hottest actor from the Harold and Kumar movies, but I'm also an author, a White House staffer, and as of like 15 seconds ago, a podcast host.

Along the way, I've made some friends who are experts in science, politics, and pop culture. And each week, one of them will be joining me to answer my burning questions. Like, are we heading towards another financial crash like in 08? Is non-monogamy back in style? And how come there's never a gate ready for your flight when it lands like two minutes early? We've got guests like Pete Buttigieg, Stacey Abrams, Lili Singh, and Bill Nye. When you start weaponizing outer space, things can potentially, go really wrong.

Look, the world can seem pretty scary right now, because it is. But my goal here is for you to listen and feel a little better about the future.

on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. We're back. And we've got a new NEPO baby on the scene. Yeah. Aw. Apple. Oh, my gosh.

I almost started playing the music book. Guys, remember when Chris Martin and Gwine and Paltrow together and then they had the baby, they call Apple? And everyone was like, what the fuck is that name? Well, guess what? That child is now. Microsoft. Yeah.

21 years. years old. Oh my God. It's just so funny when like people are born and you're an adult. You're like, and that person is an infant forever. And then you're like, that motherfucker on 21. To quote. Yeah.

Jeff Bridges. So anyway, some student band from Vanderbilt had her come on stage to perform a song that she's like featured on over the weekend in Nashville. And a lot of people are slamming her vocal stylings. Because you're like, fucking up, oh, baby. you're you get to perform with a student band from Vanderbilt like it's not like you she's on tour with taylor swift right some shit she's just doing her early music shit somebody it should be doing at that age right exactly exactly and look i don't i don't doubt that those people go that's fucking

that's apple maybe maybe we get some studio time that's i mean if i'm thinking sort of you know like a sociopath i'd be like yeah we're getting apple on this album that way we can get some studio time for free because I'm sure her dad will get her hooked that up but she goes she sings she gets up there and we'll just let you hear this is her a little bit of the vocal style don't do it to them miles don't do it to them i think it i think it's fine i think it's fine it sounds like a karaoke performance that would not stand out as either particularly good or bad no but it's someone singing nonetheless so here's apple martin astin martin whatever your name is here you go.

Oh. Okay. Okay. Come on now, Apple. Okay. There you go. From your diaphragm. There it is. She switched on there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She switched it a little lower. She had to use a diaphragm. There it is. Yeah. That's a little something. that's a little something look it's not great you're not getting through to hollywood you're not it's a no for me but uh i mean yeah if we got to go there i think it's definitely a no for me

don't um you had that on on you got it i mean it's just it's a saying it's a saying they named her something like she has not been able to hide a day in her life no apple is not only not a name and is her name She's the only Apple. Like you, someone's like my friend Apple. You're like, that Apple?

Like you, everybody knows who that. Yeah, yeah, everyone knows who that is. And there's also not a nickname. Like, it can't be app,

can't be pole. Like they gave her the worst name for a Nepo baby. Like, Neppo baby just at certain point, they're going to want to hide unless when it's convenient for them. She, I think, yeah,

she's a victim of her parents hubris with that name. So I don't, I can't lay at all at her feet. And I would say that her singing ability is like she's truly a combination of her parents because they took Chris Martin's singing ability and then watered it down with Gwyneth Paltrow's singing ability. And then you get this more like human. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, sure.

I mean, I, yeah, sure. There was that. I think, look, she's still figuring it out. She started off nervous, you know what I mean? And then when she started project, I said, okay, there you are. They're a little bit pitchy, but also Apple. There you are. You've been dealt with a tough hair.

Your name is Apple and your parents are kind of annoying and you're trying to figure out where you fit in. I would just lean into the Apple thing. Yeah. Like, just wear a bunch of iPhones on your head or some shit. Wear literal apples. I don't know. Just try it out.

You know, you're, hey, good luck, kid. Good luck. We're rooting for you. We're rooting for you. But, you know, do whatever you got to do. But if you do pop up on a tour suddenly without, you know, putting in the work. Opening for Radiohead.

Apple, Paltrow. What? fuck um all right uh warner brothers discovery potentially up for sale which is good new i think the fewer these tech companies there are you know to keep track of the better yeah yeah yeah i think especially in a critical moment like this when we're we're dealing with the ongoing genocide in and palestine uh you have a zionist like david ellison wanting to own all of the news outlets basically and contorting, distorting the news to that end. I mean, because right now, David Zazloff has said,

they're now entertaining unsolicited offers for Warner Brothers Discovery. And David Ellison. That seems like a solicitation, by the way. Yeah, exactly. We are entertaining unsolicited offers. That doesn't mean that we want these offers. And I say, no, but, you know, I'll read it. I might thumb through the offer.

I don't know. But, yeah, David Ellison. who is currently skull-fucking paramount and CBS News is like one of the people there, like he's apparently tried to buy it before. And so that would mean that he would, I can only imagine how distorted the news coverage will be when Ellison puts like Jesse Waters as the head of CNN or some shit. Right. Which is essentially what they did with, uh,

Barrie Weiss. Yeah, exactly. You're like, Hey, someone with no journalistic cred actually, just an op-ed writer basically. Tell us, tell us about reporting.

Tell us how that works. Yeah, that seems bad. And we can only assume that this Trump administration is going to make sure that there's not any sort of monopoly from politically. I'm like, is there a billionaire who's just like greedy and wants to make money and will take their hands off of it? Because what are they going to do? Like, that's HBO.

There's so many brands wrapped up in that that can put that, have the potential to just be completely twisted into some other fucking. fucking thing. Anyway, consolidation. Speaking of HBO, you see the chair company yet? No, no,

I'm actually, uh, you're edging the chair company? I'm not even edging. I'm, I'm, well, yeah,

I guess I'm building it up, building it up because I'm going to be, uh, her majesty's going out of town this weekend. Oh, so there's going to be like, I'm going to be able to put together some nasty runs of TV watching. Oh,

that's going to nasty run up real nice. Yeah. For that, I'm like, I want to have as many episodes as I'm like, could watch in a row because it comes out Sunday. Does it air Sundays? Yeah, Sundays. Oh, baby. That means I'm going to have a three-peeder. Yeah. Sunday night. Um, it's, yeah, I really, like the first episode, I was like, oh, cool. Like, I liked friendship. This is going to be like friendship vibes.

And the second episode, I was like, oh, shit. They made a narrative series with, I think you should leave vibes. I love this. I love this. It's insane. It's what I need. It's what I need. I think that's why I'm, like, trying to just bank them all. I'm all about deferred gratification. I'm finally, uh, sports corner. Sports Corner. LA v. Toronto. Toronto.

Toronto. Is that right? Did I do that right? Toronto. Yeah, Toronto. Um, Toronto. There you dumb, fam? Toronto versus L.A. Crudy.

Are you for real, fam? They've got bare back teas in L.A. fam. Um, yeah, there, this is, I love it. I love it. Rematch. It's a rematch. I loved watching the Blue Jays beat the shit out of the Yankees. And I was saying like,

me too. Honestly, like Canadians, yeah, I get it, man. Like we're, we're the, as a country, the U.S. is violating the, the trusted relationship between the two nations. Maybe that will power you to a World Series. I joked. But now that it's you and us, no, no, no, no, no, no, you need to go away. But yeah, my big thing is now, I'm curious, will the.

Like, will this L.A. versus Toronto Showdown reignite the beef between Kendrick and Drake on some level? Because Drake was posting. It's essentially a rematch. Remix. Drake was posting on social media when they won game seven and getting real excited. Has he ever been a Blue Jays fan prior to? Yeah, he's always repping everything in Toronto.

I know he's always repping like the Raptors, but I don't know he was a Jays fan. I feel like I've seen him in Maple Leafs gear. Yeah. I mean, look, you got. Because you got, he likes, he likes gambling on sports. So I feel like he's got to be a homer on some level. Right. But anyway, it seems like one of those things, but maybe not because as we all

know, Drake lost his lawsuit that he filed against Universal to be like, they were, they were not playing fair. It's not like us wasn't that big. It's because the label made it big. It's like, oh, this is classic your ego can't, the cognitive dissonance of like, I certainly can't be taking an L. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It has to be a conspiracy.

I don't see Kendrick being interested in it. Yeah. You know, which many, many people, you know, the person who had the most number ones before him, Michael Jackson, you know, eventually lived in his own reality, built, built a theme park that he moved into and it was literally called Neverland and he never had to touch reality. And that is, I think generally, you know, authorities on psychology say it's, generally very healthy and you end up in a good

place. When you just close the gates and the only people who come in are the people who are willing to tell you what you want to know. Yeah. But yeah, it's fun. I'm still not over. Like does every batter does everyone's walkout music for batting on the Dodgers just do lockout like us? Yeah.

Like when you're playing in Toronto, like just because I don't think they're thinking like that, but I would be like, this is what you got to do. Every person has to come out to. and just be like, remind them, remind them. I mean, maybe baseball should be, you know, swinging into this, you know?
