It's one of your favorite guests. On the other hand, he's the coiner of the phrase plumpers, which is disgusting and should be prosecuted as a crime against humanity to describe his thighs it's Blake Wexler! Hey everybody this is Blake Jill Loftus Wexler aka

Plump are my thighs I ride recumbent bikes plump are my thighs shorts are elastic without so much fabric that is from car lobo. I believe car lobo, car lobo, though car wolf, the car wolf. God damn. Car wolf. That's right. Wow. Hi guys. Great.

Great to see you. Great to see you. Great to see you. And you're so upset. The truth of the situation is that car shorts are elastic when there's not much fabric. So yeah, that's true. Where it's never spoken. No, that's a fashion thing.

Yeah. Yeah. It's great to be here. How are you doing? I'm doing good. I'm jealous of the meals that you've been having. I find that salad pot pie. Yeah.

Your salad pot pie is in your new England salad pot pie. Yeah, your salad pot pie. Your New England salad pot pie. Yeah. It's the food in Austin for some reason, like there's a ton of good food cities, but it is heavier in so many different ways where like a meat at night does sit heavier than like if you go to New York late, have slices of pizza, like you will feel so much worse. Like just soaked. You have to train your body for that. Soaking wet from the meat sweats.

Yeah, you do have to train your body. But I don't know if that would ever even happen. No, like beef mare's delight. Meat in morning. I don't have anything. And Miles, you know the famous thing. You just ate two sausage patties. Yeah don't have anything. And Miles, you know, you know, the famous thing. You just ate two sausage patties. Yeah, they're good.

They were getting one. Now, elaborate on that. So you thought you were getting one and you believe the second one came by way of complaints. It just didn't. It just didn't. Every time I've had one, they would say it's like a double sausage patty. This just felt like some shit like this was normal. They're like, yeah, but you put two sausage patties in there.

We start off double. Anyways, Blake, it's wonderful to have you. We're gonna get to know you a little bit better. And I'm gonna tell the listeners a couple of things that we're talking about. We're gonna talk about the line go down, market chaos is happening. The mainstream media is paying attention to ways in which the Trump administration

bed, but that's because line go down. And so we're going to talk about that and why it's actually because he's good. Yeah. The reason the economy is going down is cause he's good because balls and that's ball. Yeah. Mainly it's balls. And then we'll, we'll talk about some mega people who are facing repercussions,

such as the woman who tipped her waiter, wrote out the word zero, you suck, and then some other horrible things, and now has a GoFundMe for being racism. For finding out. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, my finding out. It's a wonderful tale. And also Elon Musk, I feel like, is in the finding out phase in a couple of ways.

So we'll check in with him. And we'll look at some of these JD Vance memes that have taken the world, the internet by storm, and ask, is there a deeper meaning here? All of that, plenty more. But first, Blake, we do like to ask our guests, what is something from your search history? Something from my search history, uh, how to give a dog a massage. Um, I was thinking recently where I'm like, so you pet dogs, you cuddle dogs, but I'm

like, I bet they would want a massage too, especially as they get older and like. Their joints get, you know, start to hurt. And I Googled how to give a dog a massage and the videos, believe it or not, really fucking weird. So I'm personally taking my foot off the gas a little bit. Cause they're greasing the dogs up for it. You're like, what the fuck?

Oh my God, no, but I'm sure that exists. I'm gonna think about that. That's a natural nest next. They put on like the music and it was more like rubbing than like kneading, you know? And I'm like, oh, I just want to give my dog like a little bit of a, you know, some squeezes in the shoulders and the haunches

and you know, pat them on the head. It's kind of what I was more looking for, but this was a whole, a whole fucking thing. So, um, I think there's different degrees of where'd you net out? Like, what do you, so what kind of service did you provide? There's Swedish. Yeah. Yeah.

It was, it was a combination between a Reiki and like a light tissue. I do that to my dog though. Cause I'm like, yeah, come on man, you've had a hard, like I do the same thing mentally to my dog, thinking like, yeah, they'll like this. But I just kind of massage like the neck, cause I'm like, well, they hold their necks up all the time. So I just kind of like, just work out those neck muscles

and not in a way where I'm like, is the pressure good? More just to be like, here is soothing touch on your neck muscles. Yeah. I feel like I wanted to do that to my dogs and they just never fucked with it. They just wanted like little scratches. Oh, they're doing things like, what the fuck is this? We all have our preferences as dogs. And speaking of the Reiki thing, my now wife and I were like in Lake Arrowhead, which doesn't matter where we were, but it was for Valentine's Day. And then now wife and I were like in Lake Arrowhead, which it doesn't matter where we were, but it was for Valentine's day.

And then we were like kind of hanging out after the dinner. So she like checked her phone real quick to make sure our dog was okay and had like a bunch of messages. And her ro- our rover wanted to give him energy healing, like from- Oh wow. Like, and she was like, oh wait, that won't hurt him, right? And then 50 minutes late, she just like, I'm like, you're worse than this lady is because like, she's like, what, oh, tell us about his trauma and like insinuating that there was trauma.

She's like, he can't be around skateboards. Um, he may have been neutered like two weeks too early or something. And I'm like, what are you doing? Right. Yeah. It's a real people do. Well, is your dog a Scorpio? That's actually, yeah? But yeah, it's a real people do energy. Well is your dog a Scorpio? That's actually, yeah.

My dog, yeah, he's a Scorpio for sure. He's such a Scorpio. Oh my God, that dog is such a Scorpio. What a little bitch. If you met him, you'd be like, I don't know what month that is. I'm with you, I can't, I have no fucking tolerance for it. I hate the sky.

Anything, clouds, stars, fuck them all. Uh, the sun, not drone. I do not drone though. They're cool. Those are angels had a nice conversation with, uh, with some people with a drone podcast that we might have to have on this show. Oh, that'd be sick. Yeah.

Just how to fly them showing some sick footage that they caught. You shot this in one take going through a sushi restaurant? That's sick, dude. So coordinated. What is something like you think is underrated? Underrated? Like, this is actually a serious thing. Like listening to your body and whether or not it needs to massage a dog.

No, it's like listening to your body where if it's like, oh, if you're tired, if you're feeling exhausted or if you feel like you're getting sick, like take a break. Power through. Oh, yeah. No, that's what I used to do. And it's like, oh, that's weird that I've been sick for four years. Maybe I should maybe take some time off. But also like if you want to, like, I don't know if you work out a lot and your like body also like if you want to like, I don't know, if you work out a lot and your like body feels like shit, it's like, hey, like don't, don't do that today. Like take a break.

Maybe don't work out today. Yeah, maybe don't work out today. And where did you do this little, where'd you find this stuff out? Where'd you get this wisdom? I got this wisdom from a Scorpio actually that I ran into on the street. Yeah, who asked me about my trauma.

The subreddit for cucks who aren't on their grind set. Is that where you got it? Like, where is this coming from? Why are you talking? I stay grinding, bro. What are you, you're trying to stay, you're trying to fuck with my bag by saying shit like this. Okay.

I'm just trying to help people relax and not everybody's like you. Not everybody doesn't have an off switch. Yo, you ever met my boy Blake dude? They call him the pepper mill. Cause he stay grinding. Well, I told you that in confidence, but that is true. If we were going to say it on there, they do call me the pepper mill. Although pepper mills do take nice long breaks in between when the people

bring them out to put the pepper mill on the salad. What's that like for the pepper mill? Where it's like, and now what? I'm no longer on my grind. I look at the fucking pepper mill and I get so angry because that shit doesn't stay grinding. Just so fucking lazy, dude. Does the wood on the pepper mill need to be that nice?

I don't know. Why are they all nice? Is it even nice though? I mean, it just feels like product. How did that product get that specific design? Yeah, but the kind of wood just reminds me of a chair leg at an Italian restaurant from the 80s. Maybe that's where it started. Yeah, maybe where you eat.

Just a chair leg. Just bash the peppercorns with the chair leg. Oh yeah, you want some pepsi? Fuck. This is like, yeah, they, uh, just bash the peppercorns with the chair leg. Oh yeah. You want some pepsi? This is like, yeah, have you seen the pepper mills that are like motor? Like they have a motor. Yeah. Yeah.

With the battery that makes that for no reason, taking a fucking job as well. Automate that as much as anything else, but it just makes me angry. I'm like, what the fuck? I don't know why in my mind. I think it's somehow less than, than if I do it with my hands. It's like my idea there. Yeah. I don't know. Maybe, maybe because it's like the same way, like coffee people use like the hand mill versus like the electric one, cause it affects the flavor. But I doubt that's the case. For me, I'm fine with the motorized coffee grinder, but the pepper mill better be giving somebody

a repetitive stress injury in their wrist because otherwise I'm not happy. Yeah. And it better be fucking two feet long. It better be so long, man. So, better be a possible murder weapon. Yeah, a literal rocket launcher. A chair like that.

Exactly. A shoulder mounted pepper mill, pepper grinder. A possible murder weapon. Yeah. A literal rocket launcher. A chair. Yeah. Exactly. A shoulder mounted pepper mill. Pepper grinder. Yeah. All right. Blake, what is something that you think is overrated? Overrated, I'm gonna go with hard covered books

or hard cover books. They're too big. They're hard to pack like into a bag. And they are dangerous where the corners are so pointy where if you aren't paying attention, that could take an eye out. It could penetrate your skin. Like no one knows. What the fuck happened to you, dude? What do you mean?

I've always been like this. Were you taking an eye out? Were you packing a book or something? Were you an eye out. Were you packing a hardcover book? So yeah, I'm a team, team paperback. And that is a hashtag that is not catching on despite the amount of money I've put into that. But do they still like, I feel like it's still the standard, uh, process to go hard cover into paperback paperback, like it, and only if you succeed, do you get a paperback printed if it's some shit, nobody wants to read.

They're just like, well, we're not gonna, we're not gonna follow through on that. And they're more expensive too. They're more expensive. They are way more dangerous. This is like a take that a three-year-old would have, like being like, those things are, you know what I mean? You mean that in a nice way, right? Or like somebody with a three-year-old. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Do you have like a child around the house recently,

or you're just, you just have the- No, not recently. They've grown into a 50 year old man. You know, it's just, it's funny. I was just reading this thing, cause I was trying to get a book in paperback and it just wasn't available for fucking ever. And like, I don't want a fucking hardcover book.

And there's this article that just came out that it said more publishers are actually for quote, forgoing books, second to life in favor of sticking to hardcover ebook and audio book releases. So they're actually releasing less paperbacks now. It's fucked. Yeah. This is fucked. And the book Jack, I don't like the jacket on books either on hard covers

where they'll tell off. What are you fucking cold? Yeah. Oh my God. That's what I say to the book. Yeah. Then I throw it in the fire. Yeah.

That's right. That's right. And then I open up a window at a draft in, see how it does. Doesn't do good. Yeah. And also, you know, as we've talked about on the show, the soft, you know, paperbacks, if they're of a sufficient size, can be used as a great way to, you know, hit somebody without bruising. Yeah, exactly.

Who's the someone? Like a grown-up? Somebody you're interrogating. Yeah, somebody with their pants off and their ass in the air. Yeah, face down, ass up. It was like, that's my ass. That's my spank. Oh, no, no, no. Don't read that one.

Don't read that one. That's my ass. Don't touch that. All right. Blake, thank you so much. No, thank you. Thank you so much. Thank you so much, Blake.

We're going to take a quick break. We'll be right back to talk about some news And we're back we're back dude, we're back dude and You know, I'm always I've always got the stock app up on my smart, smartphone device and just like Pokemon go dude. All right. So I have Pokemon go up, but like in many ways Pokemon go like can teach you a lot about the stock market, but I just, I just live and die with that thing, with the stock ticker, you know, I'm like, how's that fricking NASDAQ doing? Dude, it's fucking S&P 500.

Dude, just focus on the P, the pepper, because it stays grinding in the S&P. You know what I mean? The salt and pepper 500, is that what it stands for? That's what it actually tells me. That's not standards and poor. Yeah, it's salt and pepper. Pepper 500. But yeah, man, this, the line goeth downward.

Um, and you know, Trump continues to sort of make good on his promise to make the country as fucked up as possible. Um, and he's had to deal with not only outrage from his voters, but also the oligarch homies and the hyper wealthy buddies, because they do not like when stonks go down and the Dow continues to move in the wrong direction. And all Trump did on Monday, just to try and like fucking help out, like kind of steady things, was he posted like over like a hundred times in six hours on Truth Social, just anything.

Did he really? Yeah, dude. It was fucking wild. It was just shit like retweeting articles that were like, Trump's doing good. Like just this weird thing. He's like, let me just tweet out all the nice things people have said. I remember this from the first administration, actually.

I'm having like a sense memory of like when things start going bad, he just like fucking starts retweeting things compulsively. Yeah. Yeah, right. It's like basically if a restaurant had like an account and they just started reposting their five-star reviews when they're in the middle of like a racism Controversy, they're like, but look at this one Linda from Mission Viejo loved the penne But anyway, so now this is like become a huge thing with everyone talking from Fox News to the Wall Street Journal being like This is actually bad

Like I don't know what the fuck's going on. Like this, because so many of these people are, there's money is tied up in the stock market. They're like, what the fuck? Like now we're getting touched. Now what the fuck is going on? So now- That is the big, you know, you don't see it until it starts fucking-

It touches you. It touches money, yeah. Yeah, and suddenly. And then all of a sudden the media class is like, wait a second, this seems bad. Yeah, the way I stay wealthy is now being, is now in jeopardy second, this seems bad. Yeah, the way I still stay wealthy is now being, it's now in jeopardy because of this guy. And now it's time for the media and Trump's lackeys

to sort of tell the people why the chaos is good. There's one that I particularly sticks out to me, this guy, Rob Schmidt, who's on Newsmax and one of their stupidest, like, and that's, that's an achievement to be one of their dumbest people on Newsmax. Yeah, this is he tweeted this out just to try and tell people to fucking chill the fuck out. Quote, yeah, the Dow is plunging. This is happening because we have a president with the balls to undo a globalist economic agenda that's

decimated American wages and quality of life. This is the pain that comes from real change. It's much easier to just pass the buck. So yeah, Trump's balls are giving you pain. Yeah, that's right. It's good. They're too big miles. I've been saying, his smoke too, he smoked too tough. His balls too big. I look, I don't give too much of a shit when the stock market's doing well,

because that money's just too big. I don't give a shit. I don't give a shit. I don't give a shit. I don is all too big. I Look, I don't give too much of a shit when the stock market is doing well because that money is just getting funneled up We're two corporations and like, you know, they use it to do stock buybacks But when the economy takes an absolute shit like that's when trickle down Economics actually becomes that's what it is.. That trickles down on all of us. And when the stock market goes down, corporations are suddenly like, yeah, we're facing headwinds. We've got to start firing people.

When it goes up, yeah, they just keep that money for themselves. So it's a real win-win for five people and lose-lose for everyone else. But it's also a little thrilling when this happens because it does seem to be the only thing that matters to this country in terms of who gets to wield power. Is when the fuck the money up. Yeah. Don't fuck the money like that. Keep the stock market on the rails so that the wealthy people and the wealthy

corporations that drive everything forward. I wouldn't say progress, but like everything else, like keep the wheels of power in motion. Like all that needs the money to go forward. But like the democratic party only really exists because they cater to keeping that whole, like the, you know, the capital E economy. That's what like they sacrificed. Like that's what Obama sacrificed, the capital E economy. That's what like they sacrificed, like that's what Obama sacrificed the hope and change message for when he like bailed out the wall street banks.

It's, you know, why Bernie was not allowed to win against Hillary. And then I think like internalized wall street journal op-eds cause democratic voters to think Biden was the only real option in 2020. But it, it also feels like the thing that could be the Jenga block that could cause the second administration to really fall apart, you know, like Trump. So Trump, like there, there definitely seems to be like more pop culture support for Trump this time around. I just found out Tiger Woods like openly endorses Donald Trump.

Trump said he was the Tiger Woods of presidents. Right. During that, during that hosting spree. There's all sorts of rappers who are endorsing him in a way that's, I find troubling the real buy-in that's important though, that he had the first time around that he might stop having this time is Wall Street and the massive corporations like and you know all of his like radical we do things a little different around here we serve things top of style we we cut all government programs and policies. If that fucks up the money of wall street and like the big economy, I do feel like

that's a thing that might make this second administration like a little bit. Interesting. Yeah. It might, it might start to the deep state might start really deep state on, on his ass in a way that might make things pretty difficult for him. Otherwise he's just going to keep, you know, he'll be fine. And these corporations and big money people, they love predictability.

They like to be able to predict how much money is going to come in. And when you have a guy making decisions, even though his balls are so fucking big, it's like you, one thing they didn't take into account. Blake, the balls market is back to his ass. They all back to that. They're like, I don't know, man. Like, let's just go full Trump. Let's say no bull market.

It's a ball market. That's right. The NASDAQ is surging. Dude, the NAS sack. Oh man. Yeah. Yeah. Yes. So one thing we do know about Trump ginormous sack and balls, tiny little bit.

Tiny, but who needs one when you got that? Who needs one when you got those. Hey man, we love, we love potatoes around here. Don't we? That's right. But yeah, I, I, I feel like it's, it might just go in a different direction for him. Well, it's clear. Anytime someone comes in and disrupts the economy or at least the status quo or talks about it,

the forces tend to sort of circle around to try and like purge it from the system. But I think in this time, because Trump comes in with such pro-business speak, they're just having trouble wrapping their head around the fact that this guy is also absolutely rocking the boat, like in the most fucked up way. And they're like, wait, what? Wait, where are all of our capital protecting instincts now? Or have they gone out the window as they try and... Because now it's just turning into like begging on Fox News, where people are like, I would tell them the president, you know, if this is a sales pitch,

maybe we need to tweak the sales pitch a little bit and really get people to understand sort of how we look at this long-term. And, you know, I don't know how people like, they're supposed to look at that last tweet and be like, yeah, my entire, my whole retirement might be in jeopardy because he has elephantiasis, okay. What is it, the balls? The thing is, this guy is destroying the economy intentionally.

And I know many people are just like, well, he's just dumb. He does what he's doing. I'm like, he's dumb and doing it on purpose. That's why it looks so fucking ridiculous, because his way of doing it is so absurd. And he talks tough on tariffs, then walks it back and then then and then threatens them again. And again, like you're saying, Blake, it's that unpredictability that sense sends the markets in the direction that it is. And then while people are fearing like a full blown recession, Trump

only worsens the problem when he gives answers like this. A lot of people were sharing this clip of him talking to Maria Bartiromo, where she's just like, this whole interview was meant to like calm the market's just like, this whole interview was meant to calm the market and be like, I'm going to throw you softballs saying, do you expect a recession? And then you just say, no. You say, I'm very confident in what's going to happen.

But this is how this fucking question was handled when Maria asked the dear leader. Because there are rising worries about a slowdown. You've got the Atlanta Federal Reserve saying we're going to have a contraction in the dear leader. Because there are rising worries about a slowdown. You've got the Atlanta Federal Reserve saying we're going to have a contraction in the first quarter. Look, I know that you inherited a mess and you said that the other night. But are you expecting a recession this year? I hate to predict things like that.

There is a period of transition because what we're doing is very big. We're bringing wealth back to America. Okay. Can you answer the recession thing? What about the- I hate to use words like recession. I hate to predict anything. The best is when he's like, and you inherited a mess. I had not been here two weeks.

I had been here for 24 hours. Two weeks? I had not been here for 24 hours. Are you expecting- I've only been here for 24 hours. Two weeks? I've only been here two weeks. Are you expecting? I've only been here for like two years. Yeah, so it's getting bad. And again, the Wall Street Journal has op-eds now that essentially the distillation of the op-eds

are like, please stop, motherfucker. Our precious stonks and economy are shitting the bed. And meanwhile, Gavin Newsom's new bestie Kirk, is telling his viewers that they need to, he said they need to shut up about egg prices. This is now just what they do like, shut up about the thing that I was telling you that he's going to make better. And he also told us he's going to make just shut up about it now. Okay. Gassim Newsom? Yeah, yeah, I don't know. It'll be interesting to see where this goes. If he, if he's able to, I don't know. The, the one thing that like keeps me from thinking this is going to continue

to fall apart is that I feel like a lot of the like stock market and just like market economy in general to this point has been like they can just kind of will themselves to stay, you know, like they can like during the pandemic, they were just like, I don't know, we'll be fine. Like just pretend like shit is good. We'll raise prices. We'll just, yeah, we'll raise prices and we'll scan PPP loans, push, push the pain downwards. Yeah.

This is a scary thing about him too, is that I'm trying to find a silver lining in a sack of shit, but like he in a big bald sack of shit, but he does. He's like the whole flopping thing that was such a, like a scary word in politics, which is probably like 15, 20 years ago is he just couldn't care less where the guy doesn't say anything that he actually believes in or thinks is true. So he will pause tariffs. He'll take the tariffs away. He'll put the tariffs back and they'll be like, Hey, remember when you, uh, tried

to inflict tariffs and it was destroying the economy, like I don't, we like, let's not talk about egg prices. They show you what you should talk about egg prices. It is nice to hold this. Yeah. We should not talk about egg prices. We should just say that. It won't matter. We should shut the fuck up about egg prices. So we can just hold this. Yeah. It is nice to see them going through the exact same thing that Democrats were going through where it was, why doesn't everybody shut the fuck up about all the ways we're doing a bad

job? Yeah. That's just the job of a party when they're in power is like telling their supporters, stop protesting guys. Yeah. Just everybody shh their supporters, stop protesting guys. Yeah. Yeah. Just everybody. Shh. Shh.

Why are you pointing out all the fucking inconsistencies and what we campaigned on and what we're delivering? This is like a hateration in the nation in this dance. Or let's get hate the ration. Yeah. So that's kind of ties directly Blake. We were talking about about just the fact that they say whatever is, whatever benefits them in the moment,

is my theory on the JD Vance meme. So our writer, Jam, was wondering if there's a deeper truth behind these JD Vance memes. Because- Was that from Wired? Who, who's the, where's that quote from? The deeper meaning thing? The deeper meaning? There are no deeper, oh, Gizmodo.

It was in the Gizmodo article. Yeah, so Gizmodo wrote an article that was arguing that it's, these memes are apparently popular across both the left and the right. The right is also memeing him. Have you seen, you've seen those, right? Blake, the like toddler face JD Vance memes.

Yeah, they're everywhere. Yeah, it's like the new currency of the internet. It was after the Ukraine meeting, right? That yeah. So yeah, like quick background on it. If you're on the internet, you're seeing his bulbous face staring back at you. It took off after the Zelinsky meeting, which this one is still my favorite.

They just took the picture of him saying, you got to say, please and thank you, Mr. Zelinsky. Just gave him the biggest cheeks and he just looks like a big baby and it's really well executed. Then people from there, I mean, people have been doing that for a little while, like turning into a cabbage patch doll, but it really took off and now it's like all anybody's doing. I don't know what he actually looks like anymore.

I know. That's the amazing thing is that, yeah, there's the overly patriotic minion is one that I've seen. Baron Harkonnen from Dune. Although, yeah, he looks a little shredded in that one. I feel like- He looks like Alex Jones in that one where he's that Harkonnen, hulking HGH body and head. Yeah. They swapped out his head for

the nuclear explosion from the original Akira manga. Hell yeah. That's all great stuff. Although it should be noted that the photoshopping of JD Vance began on the Republican side when Congressman Mike Collins, as our friend to the show, former guest Kat Abu put it, Mike Collins yassified Vance's portrait.

Do you guys remember this? Like where there was a portrait of him and they just like made him look like a chat. They just turned him into a chat. It was like, it was like, it's like Ozempic mixed with some Botox and fillers. Basically. Yeah. And human growth. Yeah.

Yeah. They just made him like, yeah, f***** it. Got a very job stud set of around face baby. And so they, they, they, uh, threw the first stone in this battle. Yeah. But now like even Fox news is reporting on the liberal trolls sharing the memes and it's just a great screen cap. It's wild to have that Chiron and like run this image or says liberal trolls share wild memes of JD Vans and then just show all these fucking brutal memes.

Yeah. Why even, I think that's where it's, there is like this weird appeal even to Republicans where normally like, sure, there's always like, they'll do the thing like, you know, I remember there was plenty of outrage reporting on like the shitty memes people would would post of like the Obamas or Biden or whatever. But like in this version, like it feels like they're trying to also be like, look what they're fucking doing to us. But also like, they're showing so many that I'm sure people are like, yeah, that's kind of funny,

though. That looks about right. And when you consider the fact that Republicans are also sharing this too. And Nazis, like everybody. Yeah, there's a Yahoo article that says, but they're equally, if not more popular on the right explicitly pro-Trump accounts on X that otherwise spend their time bashing liberals or posting embarrassing memes of their party second in command. It does feel like the couch fucking all over again. I do want to note he tried to get in on the joke. He posted a meme of himself as Leonardo DiCaprio in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, like pointing at the TV.

But he of course just combined his face with Leonardo DiCaprio. So he like looked handsomer than he actually is. So he's not really ready to laugh at himself so much as, uh, just once is like, Hey guys, I can laugh at myself. Look how handsome I am. Kind of. Yeah. But yeah. So Gizmodo's argument is that like the, you know, the popularity of these is

evidence that there's something uniquely alien and awful about him and that the distorted version of his face actually speaks to a deeper truth. And I think there's something true there. Like I think, like I'd say there's something like unacknowledged in his persona in particular that he went from being like this liberal darling on MSNBC to like, people were like calling him like a hope for like defeating Trump, like on the, on the Republican side to like being business Nazi and the vice president in the space of like a few years. And I feel like, you know, it's boring to say like, these guys are empty suits, who don't believe in anything.

But there is something existentially terrifying about the fact that the way you get ahead in this current version of our society is to be completely devoid of belief. Just be willing to have meaning and belief projected onto you and be completely otherwise empty and not believe in anything. It's just like this like complete nihilism that he represents and the fact that he's just this completely malleable asshole who like succeeds in like going from one extreme to another at a time when, you know, people people, like these belief systems are like liberal versus mega. People are like, we're about to have a civil war over this.

Then you have this guy who just fits in on both sides. I feel like there's something existentially terrifying about that. To attack that malleability by making up memes about him fucking couches that just seem true immediately, or like bending his face in ways that also seem true, like it's like kind of attacking him at his using his superpower against him. Right.

Yeah. It's true that like I can't picture what he looks like now because I've seen so many. And I don't know that that would be true of other people necessarily, but because he just, there's something, he's just a complete fucking cipher. Yeah. It's because he's like, to your point, because he's so amorphous to be able to ascend and to like fit in whatever space he space he needs to curry favor or gain power. It's like, yeah, that same amorphousness lends itself to be like,

oh, now you can actually be anything we say you are. That's the subtext. Yeah. It's like with spies in movies where they're like the perfect spy, someone who's not memorable, you know? And it's like, oh, he is the least memorable person, like from Ohio, you know? Like it's, if it wasn't for his eyelashes, you know? Like it would be, there's nothing there. There's beautiful eyelashes.

Yeah. And he's had his transplant. He kind of looks like one of the dudes who would have, who pulled up with Zod in Superman. He does look like one of the dudes who, you know what I mean? Cause they also have like kind of the beard with like the smoky eyeliner vibe. And I'm like, yeah, great. You were kicking it with Zod bro.

You were that one bearded homie. Yeah. What was your name? Um, God, what was your name? That wasn't me. I'm sorry. I'm just here to install your cable. Anyways, let's, uh, let's take a quick break and we'll be ready.

And we're back. We're back. And we're starting to see I guess the theme of that weather. Well, I guess the theme of this episode besides is consequence maybe for some shady people. So we're going to talk about two people. One is a woman in Ohio who had a very specific message for her server at a restaurant. And then one of them is Elon Musk. But let's start with the woman. Yeah. I mean, this woman used the medium where all very brave

racists go to do battle with people is to write passive aggressive messages on fucking receipts to servers. And there's just so many of these fucking like MAGA, fuck around, find out stories like that I see on the internet and like their entire you there's like an entire YouTube genre of this kind of video where it's dedicated to this kind of content because and like I'm well aware that this serves mostly as copium in this time of great distress. But there are some stories that involve just some of the dumbest hateful people.

It's kind of hard to ignore. So this woman in Ohio wrote down on a receipt after an interaction with a server at a Mexican restaurant tip zero, you suck. Then the total, and then the signature was, I hope Trump deports you. And she leaves that there, you know, like the thing is- She did cross out her name. She crossed out her name on the merchant copy. Yeah, on her version.

But you know, I don't know if you've been there. You usually get two copies of receipts, so she didn't take that. Her name's emblazoned on it. The server posts it. But wait, what did the server do to start off with? He informed this woman that the restaurant had a one coupon per table policy. And this lady, I guess, fucking lost it. Because she thought this was extreme

couponing or some shit and was trying to like double and triple up on the coupons. He's like, not only one coup per tape. Okay. That's it. I don't think she wasn't trying to use two either. I don't think she was trying to do that

shit. Like when I used to go to bath, bed, bath and beyond with that 20% off and like, I had a homie who thought you could bring five in and it was a hundred percent off. All right. So this one says $20 off. This one says $20 off. This one's 20% off.

So it's actually, it ends up at $7 that I owe you. For this entire release size bed. I don't know if you just even read the fine print. Only one can be used per transaction. That's not how math works. So, but I just do the math. Five times 20 is 100. How 100% means the 100% I can take off

with these 700 towels I bought. Anyway, so the fucking receipt was, Blake, you seem like you have a question, sir. I just got really upset. Another thing, I mean, the whole thing's upsetting, but like the way she wrote out the total as if it was a check. You know what I mean? $87 in writing and then 84 over $100. but like the way she wrote out the total as if it was a check. Yeah.

What I mean, $87 in writing and, and then 84 over 100 because she didn't trust that this person wasn't going to like, I don't know. Yeah. Add numbers to the end. So, or yeah, or she's one of those people who's perpetually paranoid about something she read on Facebook about how you need to also write in text because the greedy poor people That serve you the food you fucking eat to live cannot change the numbers Yeah, and your bank wouldn't flag an eighty seven thousand eight hundred forty

Says here that you so eighty seven,840 at Cheechies. Yeah, once this receipt, once this literal receipt was posted online, this woman fucking scrambled to defend herself. This is so fun. Her first instinct, so she goes, this is what she posted on her Facebook, my credit card was lost slash stolen and someone attempted to use it. Thanks for the notifications. She said about this receipt.

Thank you. First of all, I just want to say thank you. I'm grateful to this, to this waiter, actually. Exactly. This has been reported through my bank. They, and then on her link, that was on Facebook, then on her LinkedIn, because everybody was just fucking giving it to her. Thank you for all the recent notifications of

scammers and profile hackers. I recently discovered a loss slash missing credit card and an attempted use slash purchase. I appreciate your patience while I manage the situation. Oh, okay. So she's doing that. I was hacked by my own racism defense. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. Okay. That's cool. That's cool. And this is the other thing. So she said she, she, yeah, yeah. Okay. Okay. That's cool. That's cool. And this is the other thing. So she said she she was hacked, right? The problem is lady, they have you in fucking 4k on security cameras in the fucking restaurant assholes so you can't even do you're not even get away with nice to see the surveillance state work against racism. Yeah, For the first time. Yeah, we got one. Yeah, now this moment where I'm seeing a racist incident

happen on security camera footage, it's not something involving the police, it's just some racist cell phone at a restaurant. Predictably, she was fired from her real estate gig since, you know, most rent, most, I would say most. I'm gonna say, Miles, That's not that predictable anymore. I was, I was actually pleasantly surprised to hear that she was fired from her real estate. Well, that's what I'm saying.

I had to caveat. That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. I had to caveat. She was a real estate agent. Yeah. Yeah. Let me, let me guess the people she was not showing homes to ever.

Yeah. But it just made like, generally in the old, in the days of, in the old days, in the olden times, most revenue generating enterprises know that racism can only get you so many customers. But again, so then what happened was people rallied around the server, started to go fund me to support him and be like, let's show him how grateful we are. He got a little bit of money. And then, which makes sense, especially in a climate

right now where people are just cravenly using threats of calling ICE or deportation as a way to terrorize a person. It's like, yeah, what the fuck, what are you doing with these people? Then this racist woman decided to do a copycat move and start her own GoFundMe, which was- You think she should get a GoFundMe? I'll show you GoFundMe. This is mine. This is quote, hers is called Stephanie's path to accountability, reformation and second chance.

Wow. Ew. Stephanie. This is what she wrote in the body of her fucking go fund me. Stephanie Lovens deeply regrets a mistake she made that has had serious consequences on her life in a moment of frustration. She regrets it so much, she can only talk about it

in the third person. Yeah, that is, who in this writing does she expect us to believe is writing this paragraph? I know, I mean, it feels like she's gonna end it. Signed is sincerely Stephanie Lovett. But it says, in a moment of frustration, she wrote something offensive on a restaurant receipt that she now realizes was hurtful and wrong.

Since then, she has faced intense backlash, lost her job and real estate license and had to remove herself from social media due to embarrassment and harassment. The two great myths of our time. She just didn't realize it, Miles. She didn't realize it was hurtful and wrong at the time. Now she has learned and this is new information for her.

Sorry. This is it's not fair that everybody is ganging up on her when she just didn't know you couldn't do that. Yeah. The old the old Chappelle joke of white privilege of saying, oh, I'm sorry, officer. I didn't know I couldn't do that to try and get pulled over with a white friend. It's a white friend speeding the cop. I'm sorry. I didn't know I couldn't do that to try and get out of this. He gets pulled over with a white friend, a white friend speeding to the cop. I'm sorry, I didn't know I couldn't do that. And the cop's like, all right, I'll let you off with a warning.

He's trying to do that shit. Yeah, I didn't know. And now I have to get rid of my social media because it's so fucking bad. I'm honestly, just get fucked. This is the thing that these hateful people really need to understand. They clearly operate in a world where empathy is bad. That's why they're like the whole fuck your feelings type people. So hate naturally seems like a normal

thing to engage in. The other side of that coin is Stephanie Lovens is that you also with that kind of energy, you create a world in which no one will fucking help your dumbass out either because fuck caring about other people, right? So you have to understand ideologically, that's full steam. That's like, that's that's the world you want to live in. Because if it's not, it's a bit fuck everybody else, no one is going to come to your defense. That's why there's clearly this battle right now for over empathy, and how the right is trying to kill empathy to try and get away with all this fucked up in

humane shit they do to people. And this is the thing we have to maintain that because just a world that's worth living in is one where you, when you need help, people just don't go, Oh, fuck you, get the fuck out of here. You know, you do. And it's not a utopia. It's just the idea that we care about each other. And that's just the most basic shit.

But again, you wrote this on your receipt, you're a tough guy, and I bet you walked out of anger management and I'll be seeing you shortly. Hate to, hate to see that her GoFundMe has since been removed. Cause I actually honestly believe the worst about America that like this could become a cause celeb among the right and get her funded. But on the other hand, I don't know. I mean, there's too many of them right now. Shame.

I mean, there's so many people, especially since Trump got elected that are doing just wild shit, doing Hitler salutes and then crying about it or fucking screaming shit and like, and then getting like when they get in trouble, they're like, I'm sorry, I thought that was what's going on. It's like, no, that he does that because he lives in a world of different consequences. You live down here with the fucking rest of us. It's so we're talking about a majority of people

don't like this shit. Yeah, we're about to talk about Elon Musk facing consequences, which he has slightly and that he lost like a100 million of his like. 102 billion. $100 billion of his like $500 billion fortune that is like, you know, historically the most money anyone's ever had in the history of the world. Like when people are talking about him facing consequences and Tesla's stock crumbling,

to your point, Miles, like the Nazi salute is a big deal. I feel like it's getting written at like when people, like when the mainstream media is covering it, they keep being like, and people who object to his doge policy and like his doge shit is like, no, he is the CEO of a major company that relies on people thinking that company is cool. And he did a cartoonish, like obvious, like, like just couldn't control his body. He was doing a Nazi salute so hard on inauguration day in front of the whole fucking world.

Like that, that feels like the big thing of the year, the first day of the year, the first day of the year, the first day of the year, the first day of the year, the first day of the year, the first day of the year, the first day of the year, the first day of the year, the first day of the year, the first day of the year,

the first day of the year, the first day of the year, the first day of the year, the first day of the year, the first day of the year, the first day of the year, the first day of the year, the first day of the year,

the first day of the year, the first day of the year, the first day of the year, the first day of the year, the first day of the year, the first day of the year, the first day of the year, the first day of the year, the first day of the year, controversial figure with this Doge with his leadership style. Yeah. It's like, and he's synonymous with that company. Like everyone knows he's Tesla is Elon. Elon is Tesla. It's not like one of these like sock companies that Mark Cuban owns.

Or it's like, you know, Mark Cuban owns this fucking sock company. I was like, I didn't know that. Yeah. I guess I'll buy these fucking things. But it's, he is Tesla. So everything that he does directly impacts that stupid fucking company. Yeah.

And that's like the thing that gets him like, you know, so much of his wealth is built on that. And so much of his, the fucking mythos around him as a person is built around how is Tesla's like, you know, the reason why it overperforms as a stock too is because he's also convinced people when he was like, this isn't even like a fucking car company, dude, this is like a future AI fully automated world company that you want to get in now when we literally run everything.

And that's how he's hoping to like resurrect this stock, because the whole thing is once he fucking takes a few L's, then he has to come out with some new weird thing and promise people the future and say it actually wasn't about any of the things that I promised before. It's about this new thing and get people more invested. But yeah, now it's just at that point where his actions, the fucking amount of like Nazis, he's like posts that he'll like retweet and like, it's just not a fit. It's just not even fucking like there's really no deniability around it anymore

But yeah, it is true like even in one Rolling Stone article like they at least they'd mentioned it and they did like this sort of charitable thing is like And also doing a salute which many interpreted to be a hitler salute interesting But like just say that's what it was and I get that they want to be like well He said it wasn't so just to be fair doing people so especially like big companies like Rolling Stone So like they probably their legal. Yeah, of course. That shit's just getting you know Lawyer lawyer down as much as possible But well he allegedly did something that he was showing that he's really into the Third Reich

This is what I'll say the That's one way to put it. But this is him now talking on Fox because all of the fucking headlines have been about like, holy shit, he lost all this money. All the stocks are going down. This guy is also part of the whole fucking problem with the unpredictability of the economy. And also, as we talked about in the episode that came out yesterday, was all the shit with people fucking attacking stores, protesting at stores, you know, vandalizing Tesla's just like just overall people are just like, bro, it's toxic to fucking drive one for the amount of thumbs down and middle fingers. I get so this is him on Larry Kudlow show where he's being asked like damn man

You're fucking you're really taking a ton on by by standing he also looks like he got like a glow up like he got a haircut and Facial or something for this and like got styled a little bit because he's not wearing his standard t-shirt Black blazer. I think he has a little bit more swag going on because they're like, we need to do something. You're fucking hemorrhaging Q points right now. Right. Exactly. Please don't show up to this interview looking like Captain Ketamine. Okay. Thank you. Let's fucking act like the CEO. I thought you meant QAnon points. And I'm like, I think he's getting a lot of them.

No, yeah. He's getting a lot of Q points with that QAnon, but not, what's the Q, is that what it was called? The Q rating? I think it was. Is like Michael Jordan is the- How poppin' you are. Still the most popular one. Like five, 50 years later.

Yeah. All right. Elon, let's see what, let's see, because maybe this is the interview where like he is sober for the first time in 80 days. And it's like, oh, fuck. Yeah, he's actually he's not talking completely all over the place. But anyway, this is him being asked directly, dude, what's it like?

Everyone hating you, dude, just for being a good guy. Call to action. You're feeling you're hearing a call to action. Yeah. You're giving up your other stuff? I mean, how are you running your other businesses? With great difficulty. Yeah, I mean.

But there's no turning back, you're saying. There's no turning back. Don't feel as silent. I'm just here trying to make government more efficient, eliminate waste and fraud. And so far we're making good progress. There's one breath in there that I worry that I talked over, but it sounded like a little shaky, you know?

Oh, yeah. Which one? The first one where his eyebrow goes up? No, no, no. It was the second one right before he like went into his answer where it felt like a little bit like Yeah, I think after he goes there's no I think is when Larry Cuddless said so there's no turning back I think he's like yeah, yeah, he made it real for you're right damn Larry. I have to say it like that Larry did Yeah, I mean that one but there's no turning back you say Yeah, I mean that one, but there's no turning back you say

Yeah, I just It's the exhale is quivering boy, yeah Fucking quivering. This is like I mean sorry. Sorry just quickly Because he's so weird I could see it be it being also like he's quivering from horniness because this is what he gets off on is just people plying into the idea that he's fucked. And actually he's just, I think he's still going to be fine

because he's just fucking sabotaged the government specifically in a way to benefit him financially. But yeah, either he's incredibly hornier, he's on the verge of bursting into tears. I mean, yeah, one way to look at that is like, dude, this guy's about to fucking break down because he's so completely fucked over his like financial empire or whatever. But then the other part is too, this also feels like fuck boy tears,

where you try to cry to try and get people to like forget that you all the fuck shit that you've done and I'm just I'm just trying to be I'm just trying to do good by the economy and like they're being all mean to me like you know like that it feels kind of like that very sort of elementary level of a manipulator emotional manipulation so I don't know part of me watches it and is like and oof, and the other part is like, hmm, I wonder if also in his mind, he also seems like the type of person who thinks

he can cry his way out of a problem to someone when like the chips are down. So I'm, part of me wants to be like, ooh, he's scared, but I don't know. I think it depends on like, what is, like which problem are we talking about that? He's dealing with where I really like that statement miles that you said like the mythos around him like so much of that is how he sells his companies and

A lot of it is this guy's a G like it's like this guy's a fucking genius He's a little weird but the weirdness helps convey how much of a quote unquote genius that he is. And once you start hopping around on stage, like wearing weird outfits, like worshiping Hitler through Nazi salutes and now kind of fake crying on TV. It's like, that's not a person that his supporters or that, that like people who have money and are investing their

money into his company want to invest money with. So it's like, okay, either he's fucking nuts. He's like, you know, Trump's little lap dog and or he is, he cries randomly and he's a racist and Hitler worshiper. These aren't good things to put money in, you know, like even now today in today's environment. Yeah, they do like predictability, as you said earlier. And this is... Wildly. They did not, I'm sure he did not like pitch

that to stake shareholders. And he's like, and then I'm gonna go out on the stage and do the wildest Dr. Strange love Nazi salute that you've ever seen. Don't worry, I will do that. I will do it. Provoke it. Yeah, get people talking.

Blake Wexler, as always, what a pleasure having you on the day. Yeah. Thank you. Where can people find you, follow you, all that good stuff? People can find me at Blake Wexler on all social media. I'm starting my little spring thing tour.

Beautiful. How long you gonna be in town? 24 hours. It was not a well arranged trip. Oh, I felt like I asked you that last time you brought up when we were talking about this show. And I was like, you were was not a well arranged trip. But yeah, I felt like I asked you that last time you brought up when we were talking about this show and I was like, you were always fucking against me, dude.

Yes. This is a track called Melancholia by the artist Eunice or Yonis because the artist, it's spelled Y-O-O-U-N-I-S, but the guy's real name is Jonas Wunderhoff. He's a German producer, artist. This track is kind of super laid back, vibe-y. Kind of, if you like Mac DeMarco, you'll definitely like this track. Just something nice to have on, just to keep things mellow in your sonic environment.
