I am Jack. That is Miles. It is Monday morning. Monday. Bright and early. What's the accent that says Monday? Tuesday?

Yeah, I don't know. But yeah, I know that one. I don't know. Yeah, that's one. We know that one. That's one of them. Probably in a Coen Brothers movie or something. Yeah.

The Great Midwest. Yeah. I'm Jack. You are Miles. Yes, I am. Remind the people again uh how are you doing miles i'm fine i'm great i've never been better miles seems like a loaded question which i'll get to in my underrated or over whatever the fuck but there's also a little tension because i just revealed that i never saw eight mile and i can't jack i can't believe you've never seen eight miles so weird the desire coming off of miles to come through the zoom screen and choke me out is no not no brian took

that as tough guy energy i was in pure shock tough guy huh no i was like i even listened to the soundtrack but i think it was like in a brief time in my life when i was like i don't know i even listened to the soundtrack but i think it was like in a brief time in my life when i was like i don't have time to watch movies well yeah that's 2002 so i feel like this is the era 22 yeah there was a lot of shit i feel like we find we find these kind of spots a lot where i'm like wait you weren't fucking with that and i'm realizing like you were dead in college or like then i was still in high school so like your calculus is way it's like it's like that moment where shit's a little bit different like in high school you still catch every movie that comes oh yeah yeah college you're like bro

i just learned about fucking some fucked up shit man i can't how the fuck can i go watch eight mile right now that's right um the georgetown philosophy department was learning all sorts of wild shit am i you ever hear about this guy aristotle this guy's fucked up man and it's not shack it was another guy big i thought i knew the big aristotle um all right uh so we're gonna uh get get to some of the things that people may have missed that happened over the weekend. Yeah. But first, we'd like to check in with each other, with ourselves. Yeah, OVN.

And ask what's something, Miles, that you think is overrated. Overrated right now, I'm going to say Los Angeles' infrastructure. No. This is not, like, it's it's not even like people know we have shit infrastructure but it was really it's really been brought to the surface because over the weekend there was a gigantic fire in an underpass of the 10 freeway uh one of the main arteries of the city and one of the freeways that would regularly get name checked in the snl californian 110 exactly go to sam just sunny um but yeah this shit was so bad it like melted the guardrails and shit because this pallet fire was

so intense and now they're saying the freeway is closed indefinitely and 300 000 people like conservatively are on that shit every day like for it's one of the most busy like arteries in yeah the nation specifically this section going through downtown so mayor mayor bass is like yeah you can fucking take public transit because obviously la's got sick public yeah yeah yeah oh really i'm coming from from the east part of the county to get to downtown. What are my options? Or wherever. Your options are to take two and a half hours.

Yeah. And the fucking traffic maps look obscene. We have a friend that works at City Hall, and I don't want to text them. I don't think they have to go into the office today, but tomorrow I'll be like, Hey, are you going to quit because it's so bad? They're just in a room full of ringing phones, just picking up each one, shouting a couple words into it, and then slamming them down. We don't know yet. It's indefinitely.

There'll be an update later this week. Fuck. how poorly planned la is how the how we've just we lost our mind being such a car city in the early days that like obviously and intentionally destroyed public transit that all it takes is you know one of the freeways to go down and it's going to cause total chaos but i'm sure that's the case in a lot of places but just the lack i think it's really it's the lack of public transit and good bike infrastructure that makes it like doubly just like, well, their options are just for everybody to have a fucking terrible time. Because it affects all traffic now. Your options are to chill out and we'll get back to you soon while we figure this out.

Jesus. Holy shit. That's Karen Bass's statement. I called 911. They told me to relax. What the fuck is this? why don't you fucking relax man why don't you relax yeah there's a lot of uh there's some people blaming the unhoused population because uh they think it might have started with the homeless encampment sure and i don't think

that's as relevant as the fact that we have like our our infrastructure is already so because i mean to your point the people who are going after that like who are really hammering that in are the people who are so hostile towards the unhoused community yeah that is like so set yeah this would have never happened under caruso he would have put them all in prison camps yeah the infrastructure would have never been this bad if it weren't for the unhoused. What? No. Wait a second. Yeah, and they also had a bunch of

wooden pallets being stored in that place, which is why it went up so big. Yeah. And those, I mean, that's just, it's basically just like a literal tinderbox that was under that overpass. But yeah, here we are. Miles, my overrated for the

weekend i love this um is how many people would be getting their neck snapped uh by like when i was a child when i was a child this is this is like my generation when i was a child like i was raised on like lethal weapon movies the diehard movies uh i i think this is like my generation's quicksand like the idea that the number one cause of death would be someone sneaking up behind you turning your head to the side too quickly a walnut crunching sound and then you were dead but not like you suffer and struggle to breathe or something it's like an off switch for the life in your body and in your eyes your eyes you're just immediately your eyes are like opening you're just gone yeah um you've been prematurely unplugged from the matrix yes

yeah exactly no but yeah so um notice this first of all i was you know over the weekend my my wife and i are on sort of a early 90s thrillers for adult kick okay uh we watched the firm last week for no real reason yeah and it hit the spot so well that when i was picking the next movie i got the let's do another one. Like the firm, um, request from my wife. So we, we watched in the line of fire. Perfect. This is a movie in which John Malkovich is like this. It's like a, a wet work expert, uh, CIA assassin. Like you're supposed to think of him at like, he, he knows all this shit about like modeling

and like how to like build his own guns he's just he's it's in that genre of movies where it's like this person has taken death to the point of a science like you've never seen somebody who's this good at death right put this much thought into how to kill people and it's you're just expecting every death to like be wild and like kind of imaginative and then at one part he just like walks into these two women's house in la and first of all it's like one of the cruelest depictions of two human beings ever these two women who are like roommates and they're just like lonely and they're just like would john malkovich might want to fuck me oh okay um and just like

watching their house and like oh i remember that yes yes yeah and just like snaps both their necks like and immediately both on the ground staring dead eyes at the ceiling just two quick neck neck turns and they're goners and i don't know. Based on movies I watched growing up, I assumed I would be witnessing one of these once a week during the course of my adult life. But yeah, according to medical science, it's impossible.

You would have to... I read something where people were like, I guess you could technically do it. First of all, you'd probably have to knock them out like put them under anesthesia and then so they just rip their head off and then just like basically twist their head until it like popped off basically like almost um so it's not it's not just like a quick uh you know chiropractic adjustment yeah which is what a lot of the movies make it seem like well right and it's also it's

almost like the neck and spine are designed to just not have something like that happen and go oops you're dead oopsie it feels like it's like millions of years i'm gonna say it actually ain't that easy and like you see your point if that's neck breaking then like there's a wealth of snuff films on youtube with people doing chiropractic adjustments where like, you're seeing people like, dude, that's the fucking neck breaker move from the action movies. But people are like,

Oh, thank you so much. Yes. Like, um, and there, there are, yeah,

I know of somebody who got one of those chiropractic adjustments and then got injured, uh, died actually. my god and there's a huge lawsuit but the thing that happened is like there was like uh internal bleeding that happened it wasn't the no off switch right right right yeah because that you do hear about those kinds of things for people like some people get like mobility issues and shit from a neck adjustment gone wrong apparently yeah

but like so there's also the other so i watched two movies this weekend and the other movie that i watched is the killer the new movie by david fincher which like i have a real weak spot for these movies i have a real weak spot for fincher and like it has a scene where he does it's kind of the next nap thing and it's like this like effortless like he just like turns a person's head in one direction fast and then they fall down some stairs but like it feels like they're already dead and right the whole movie is like this guy's a little bit smarter a little bit like he, he's put more thought into like how to kill you, how to make it look like an accident than anyone. Um,

I think also partially the movie like is, is like, and he also kind of sucks at his job. Isn't as good as he thinks he is. Uh, but it's, it's fun. I had fun watching it,

but I was like, holy shit. There's still like, there's been like in the born I was like, holy shit, there's still... There's been... In the Bourne ultimatum, there's a part where somebody tries to do a neck snap and the person's just like,

what are you doing? Fuck you. Slams them into the wall behind them. Then that same franchise, when it was no longer good in the Jason Bourne movie like bourne does that to somebody he's trying to kill so it's like the movies know that this isn't real but they are still just like they're fun like when you're so good at the killing then right it can

like we'll let you do it but yeah i i was looking into it i think oh i think bruce lee may be the originator of this move and bruce lee i will allow bruce lee and arnold schwarzenegger both because he does in the running man too right yeah oh oh it's in like almost it's an eraser it's in yeah but i think running man i think when it might be an early on neck snapping movie yeah and that's okay because his whole thing is that he seems like he has so strong yeah superhuman strength that like he could do a lot of things to you that if another person did um wouldn't kill you but with him it's like yeah that's what i think it starts like right you take someone as like mythical as bruce lee and then you have a generation of screenwriters who are

writing action genre shit and they see that and they're like yeah dude she was sick apparently and the stunt person who he did that to was jackie chan little known in uh enter the dragon but like yeah that was in the early 70s so and like i feel like there's i wonder if there is an exhaustive like body of research into the origins of this but i feel like it's, I wonder if there is an exhaustive like body of research into the origins of this, but I feel like it's probably just as easy as being like, was it, was it Wesley?

Who was it? Who was it? Yeah. But I don't know. Like, like you also shared this clip from desperado where like, he's having this like gun, like close quarters gunfight and like both the guns are out of ammo and

yeah. And they're scrambling for guns around them. They're scrambling for guns. It's a whole gun movie. Like, and then he just does the neck snap thing like and he says fuck you that's the way to do it it's my fucking favorite like fuck yeah i don't know it always just feels like the screenwriter is throwing their hands up to me or not always when arnold does it or bruce lee does it it's like a cool little bit of magic that I'll let them get away with. For the most part, it's like, I don't know.

Your job as a maker of action movies is coming up with creative ways for people to kill other people. Especially in the genre of the killer or in the line of fire where it's like, this guy is the best at killing. Yeah, he made a plastic gun. Yeah. Studies killing like a science knows all the stuff that you don't know. of fire where it's like this guy is the best at killing yeah he made a plastic gun yeah studies killing like a science knows all the stuff that you don't know and then it's just like i'll twist your head around quicksand yeah it's probably better though to give kids examples of things that are medically very difficult to achieve that's like yeah dude just smash this dude in his windpipe with a mag light. Yeah. And you're like...

Cut off his coronary artery. Yeah, exactly. He claims he doesn't like anger management. But anyways, it's... I learned that from jujitsu class. There you go. Anyways, shout out to... Yeah, I guess it's good that I didn't know

how to accurately kill people. I never tried it, though. We used to try it at school. I'm not going to lie. We would do the thing. Yeah, dude, we would just come up and we'd be like, how far can I go? How far can I go? And we would just stop because

we weren't going to go full on like, let me break your neck, but we would try and be like, how far can I twist your head around? Right. And then you just discover that there's just a normal range of motion. But yeah. All right. Let's take a quick break.

We'll come back with our underrated and some news. I'm Jess Casavetto, executive producer of the hit Netflix documentary series Dancing for the Devil, the 7M TikTok cult.

This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president or wherever you get your podcasts. than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today. And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson.

I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore. The story of one strange and violent summer. This is Rip Current. Available now with new episodes every Thursday. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

And we're back. And Miles, what is something that you think is underrated? Stretching, core strength, hamstring strength. It's happened, folks. I have managed to have relatively few back issues as I enter middle age, but on Sunday, I don't know

what the fuck happened. Now, unofficially, I may have been watching a football match, a soccer game. We cannot confirm whether this happened. I will not confirm just because I don't need her majesty to know about this but

I may have tried to kick an imaginary soccer ball while pacing in front of my television and may have done my back on the right side for some reason okay now then that's not the relevant part the fact is

I have realized now that the wise words of my grandfather um as that i'm reminded of those words as he told me as he was entering the final phase of his life because i would always ask him for stuff like what did you what you know like what are you what were you excited about like what do you what's like from your perspective like you've been through so much like world wars being fucking black in Chicago in the thirties. Like what, what, what can you give me?

He would always just consistently just say, just make sure you stretch, keep your body limber, keep your body flexible of all the shit. This man has done. He's, he was always consistently saying like, let's keep your shit limber.

You don't want to get all stiff or just don't do that shit. And here I am stiff and shit with my you know podcaster life so now i'm like i'm realizing i will i will heed these words and i will dedicate myself to increase flexibility core strength and all that because it's uh can't take it yeah i took it for granted took it for granted a little bit so if you have any tips on how to recover, I'm not too bad. I can get up and help out and do shit, most shit with the baby. But there's just some trunk rotation stuff, some neck turns that every now and then will just get me. You got to blame it on the baby, man.

You can't. I can't, man, as much as I want to. You can't let the soccer thing happen because it's not it's so stupid dude so stupid yeah and i was telling you get you need a chore that her majesty gives you that you can do and then be like this is why i can't take out the trash but like nah i mean i think it's honest she was even like bro you need to fucking stretch more you need to you need to put a little more strength in that back i was like you're right you're right you're right i've been doing back there was listeners keen listeners may remember that there was like a week and a half where i was uh in hell like i couldn't i couldn't sit still for

for the recordings because my back was so fucked up and um yeah i saw a physical therapist um and he gave me like some exercises and like there we i have a like a list of stretches and exercises that i'll send your way i send them along specifically for lower low back stuff but yo and i know yeah yeah i know we have physiology there's a lot yeah i've clocked some of the people that follow me. I know there's some physiologists, some physios out here that follow me. Yo, hit me with some. I know y'all know. So help me out here.

But it's like one of these things I was telling you. When I watch high stakes sporting events, I can't help but contort my body along with what's happening on the screen like watching basketball soccer fucking mm whatever the fuck like i'm like some suddenly like i'm all my fucking energies like in my right leg with the ball of my foot pressing down on the ground or some weird shit yeah um so you know i'll just i just gotta i guess maybe relax a little bit more yeah i i have the overactive mirror neurons uh when i'm watching boxing in particular i am ducking and weaving and it is mortifying can't stop my body from doing it and it's so embarrassing people like wow you're really are you a do you box or something? Really digging this, huh, Jack?

I also think, like, when I lived in Ireland for a semester, I started, like, saying the occasional stray word in an Irish accent, and I was like, God, this is so fucking embarrassing. But I don't know. It's just, my brain is, like, very susceptible to just imitating whatever is happening around me you're gonna be one of those like white people who like lives abroad like yeah and it's like so we need to get electricity for home it's like don't fucking

just come on now just speak english how you say cucumber oh yeah a cucumber oh my god all right uh my underrated is uh how fucking big moose are i guess they're fucking big dude yo moose are fucking big i think we just need to start calling them elk because that they that is the same thing same species just two different words for the same species. And, um, when it's an elk, it seems like some, somehow more majestic and moose just sounds so dumb,

but, um, I saw one. Yeah. You think, uh, Rocky and bullwinkle. Like I saw there,

there's a viral video on Reddit from over the weekend where a moose is just eating from the top of a tree. Yeah. And like like but there's like cars nearby and you can see its size and it's just like if if you told me this was a mythical creature or like an animal that existed during the jurassic i feel like i would be more into it than i or at least as a kid i would have been like i feel like i've been robbed of years of just being like holy shit oh yeah about elk and moose they're the size of fucking trucks they look mythical like when you see the ones where like they're like that video like in alaska

where i was walking down the road and you're like is this from fucking lord of the rings or some shit the fuck is this and it's to the point where like you got this when i saw you writing this up i was kind of getting interested in like how powerful they are and there's like no shortage of people debating like like what what animals could fuck each other up and there's like a lot of debate about like bison fighting elk and like who has the fucking edge and shit they're like wow it's a straight up kicking match the fucking moose is gonna kick the fuck out of the bison if we're budding the bison will get the fucking elk blah blah blah i'm so people are i get it it's yeah

people are they're they're captured by the majesty of the power i was using the hell out of tv tropes this weekend both looking at movies that have the neck snap thing. Uh, but also I was like, why in pop culture are moose depicted as so dumb? They're just like, yeah, right.

The hook. I'm a moose, you know? Like they're just, and yeah, there's a whole TV tropes right up about how they're, you know, there,

there's nothing to say they aren't as smart as other deer species and in fiction uh they are just always so so dumb yeah because we have this like you know like uh carnivore carnivore apex predator bias i feel like yeah where it's like if you're not eating the fuck out of like other animals and ripping them apart like they miss us with the dangerous shit because like as we all know like like i remember that was like one of those facts you learned as a kid like dude the hippopotamus is actually one of the most dangerous motherfucking animals out here i'm like yeah the motherfuckers in the fucking doing the ballet and fantasia exactly nah nah and then you see it and you're like oh these are

just fucking they're like uh industrial vehicles with arms and legs god it's amazing how the like i can't like the very first image when you say hippopotamus in my mind is a hippopotamus and a tutu um like that's strong his yeah knew what he was doing um all right uh let's get into some news over the weekend uh we have an update to that simpsons uh story that we talked about last week where um you know homer said i'm just kidding like we've changed with the times i don't choke fart anymore. Things are different now. But apparently not. James Hellbrooks

of The Simpsons. Take it to the treehouse of horrors. The famed EP of The Simpsons. He needed to apparently correct the record here. So he said to People Magazine, quote, nothing's getting tamed. Nothing.

Nothing. Nothing. He'll continue to be strangled. If you want to use that awful term for it, he'll continue to be loved by his father in a specific way. Wow. And so what was your childhood like, James? Strangled, if you want to use that awful term for it. I'm like, what other, what is it?

Like independent neck massage? Like unlicensed neck massage? What else could it be? It's strangulation. But yeah, it seems like a lot of people had noted that it had been like a while, actually, since we actually saw Homer choke him out on screen. it seems like a lot of people had noted that it had been like like a while actually since uh we actually saw homer choke him out on screen and but it apparently was not an official decision by the show i think people coupled that with that loose line from the last episode like oh i guess they're

done with it um because on the simpsons official twitter account our former or formerly x um they were suggesting that like it was clickbait. It's a depiction of Homer strangling Bart with his tongue going... But it says why you little clickbaiting? And what is it? Bart is holding a phone that says, Simpsons, no more

strangling. I think Matt Groening set the record straight there, too. Damn. Do they have smartphones in the Simpsons universe, actually? So I think, I think Matt Groening set the record straight there too. Damn. Um, we can choke it. Do they have smartphones in the Simpsons universe? I actually,

I have not. It's been, it's been a while as they say. It's been a while. Um, yeah. All right. Uh, we have,

we have an update and baby technology that, uh, unneeded, unnecessary in my opinion, but, uh, some new shit just dropped for your baby. Yeah. To show your baby how...

How balling your baby is. How hard you're balling. Your baby needs to feel the spoils of your grind set mindset also. Exactly. You want people to know, wait, hold on, I need to follow this baby for tips

on how to get Lambo. Right. Because, so I'm looking at Hy at hypebeast there's a story about how i was like why is hypebeast talking about baby products i'm like okay this kind of intersects with my shit like streetwear and parenthood um and i was like is there a supreme diaper bag or something like that not really behold dior christian dior baby perfumes and shit uh they have like a whole line they have a lemus tres fondant forming cleanser for the hair face and body 95 dollars what the fuck they have another one if you have sensitive baby also. The moisturizing hydration milk is $115, but the kicker here is the

Bon Etoile, the $230 scented water, which is basically perfume for infants. Right. It's like alcohol-free, so they're like, hey, before you start crying, we're good here. There's no alcohol in it,'re like hey before you start crying good here there's no

alcohol in it but like i get that there will always be like the super high level luxury level items of like our everyday products like sure you want to blow a fucking hundred dollars on baby soap like do your thing courtney kardashian but like i have trouble with the perfume part really like as a new parent the last thing i want to do with my new baby is to hide that new baby smell like no that's like that's like part of the whole shit it's like wow man it's like this baby's like fucking mine i'm connecting to it rather than like sprinkling fucking shit that has hints of pear wild rose and white musks no i just love dealing with enough white musks on the internet bro now let me fucking have my baby watch out beautiful in peace so it just does i just don't

it seems like so extra like like babies don't need fucking perfume yeah i feel like having uh taken two uh people through babyhood up up through, you know, like the products that exist are like the, the gentle shampoos always smell good. First of all. And you know, like the, I mean,

I don't, I don't know. They, they, they work pretty well. They're cheap. And then we had like a dermatologist friend tell us very early that for basically like 90 90 of skin conditions

just like rub aquaphor on it yeah like if they were like not a friend i would have assumed they were like sponsored by aquaphor like you know had some like weird relationship with aquaphor because they were like yeah no it's just magic like you just it's great like that breast milk every single thing like yo you put some breast milk on there i'm like what they're like yeah shit works that's just so wild that like you don't need to buy 95 shit just fucking aqua like i have that little rub on stick he was you know the guy's child's getting like little baby like little bumps and shit baby acne yeah um i mean you don't need it don't need to spend your money on that yeah i don't know though maybe that moisturizing hydration milk la light trade tendre uh for 115

dollars it has to be worth it you know it was funny because i i was this morning i told her mad i was like yo look at this shit and she was like, yo, look at this shit. And she was like, is that Sephora? And I'm like, yeah. She's like, I don't want to buy it. But she's like, I'm curious what people think would be inappropriate, even the concept of perfume on a baby.

This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today. These are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman.

The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore. The story of one strange and violent summer. This is Rip Current. Available now with new episodes every Thursday. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back.

We are back. we're back we're back and uh rfk jr's polling is hitting historic levels oh yeah according to cnn um higher than ross perot yeah he's like 22 nationally in a quinnipiac poll upward of 25 in the six closest states in the 2020 election that biden won um and you know some people are like yeah that's good for biden because it's gonna like pull in the mega people who can't abide trump having anything to do with the vaccine but it's still like we don't know that like we didn't get the polling right like nobody got the fucking polling right last time when there were only two candidates yeah i think a lot of it was was going off of their reaction of Republicans, because I think at first the instinct was,

it seems like he has more appeal with Trump voters. But now the polling just seems to show that it's like, okay, in a two-way race, Trump is winning these states pretty handily, it looks like, with that polling, what that view gave us with that polling. And they're like, now enter RFK. They're like, man, we don't even know who the fuck would win. It's to the point

they don't know who it fucks up worse. Because neither candidate gets to 40% in those states, they were saying. Jesus. Yeah, I don't know. It also, it's just frustrating because it continues to demonstrate the trend that we've seen in the last decade where people are hungry for an outsider candidate because it's clear to them that the current system is rigged against like it it's

like for some reason after the 2008 financial collapse when the people who caused it and our wealthiest got bailed out like it seemed like there started to be this movement towards wanting somebody who was not allowing that not tied to that decision not financially tied to wall street yeah um and since then we've seen like the overperformance of like the bernie sanders campaign like overperformance by based on like what everybody was expecting in the mainstream media and what political analysts were saying um we've seen obviously donald trump get elected president um and now we're seeing kennedy like it's it just all seems to be responding to the same trend of like you know the people wanting something besides these main

core parties that are you know governed by mainly like finance and you know uh relationships with major corporations and the democratic party is doubling down on kind of the most system guy possible like the guy who is there the big d democratic party is like main dude for the past uh yeah 17 decade i don't know. Mom, I'm hungry. I want change. We got change at home. Yeah. It's it's wait. Is it that old loaf of bread again? Yeah. Yeah.

That's right. Yeah. Better than McDonald's. I'll tell you that. Yeah. But it just feels like a waiting game where they're just waiting around for this trend to kick them in the dick again. And well, both you see the same thing like whether it's democrats

not figuring out like that maybe they need to shift their policies it's like i was going to put this in the doc but like uh the what's mitt romney's niece rana mcdaniel the head of the rnc she's like tripling down on the abortion thing for the republicans wow she's like yeah it's a winning message even though there's no data or real life result, like real life outcomes to support that statement. Yeah. So, yeah, the parties themselves really seem like they're just incapable of responding to the fact that there is this massive shift happening. Oh, yeah. We're seeing it's happening in real time like it's not just like in so many ways other people are

like beginning to become aware of like foreign policy and what the united states role is in a lot of that our own finances and like where the money flows to and who is actually you know being able to exercise power over workers and things like that uh and they're still like i don't know maybe it's like we can triple down on this bullshit right see what happens there but i get it like it's in a way how can how can you expect a machine that's been running on this same programming to switch fucking gears like when the whole point is to keep people in power powerful and keep the wealthy wealthier wealthiest um so to even begin to like move one lever of that like you see how the machine responds to people we're like what if we fucking tax the fuck out of these wealthy ass people and people get the fuck out of here don't ever fucking say that you fucking

weirdo yeah that's why i'm expecting big things for the forward party remember them god yeah well now there's no labels too and you got joe mansion might be running under that one no labels the fuck boy and jill stein said she's throwing her hat back in the ring there's a lot there's many to choose from folks yeah there's a lot out there all right tim scott uh not this is one less to choose from for for our listeners who are who vote republican gotta be do you think there's any do you think what like any of our listeners who people who still listen to this who like vote republican yeah damn all right sure you guys i've heard people i mean i've i've definitely received messages that I think there are. I've heard people, I mean, I've definitely received messages that indicate that there are.

Or people being like, I'm trying to be open-minded, but you go too far with the Republican stuff. The Republican bashing. We appreciate everybody listening. I mean... And also, shout out to people who, there are a couple people

who said they started off being more conservative and then through listening to the show realize that like you can be like humane and not like put a label on shit and feel like you're betraying your grandfather by not being republican anymore kind of shit so um we're all humane part we're on our own journey you know what i mean and if you hop on this train welcome absolutely no judgment uh tim scott has dropped out of the republican primary race um but the way he so people were expecting this because like his his numbers have not been in the garbage yeah they've just been in the garbage and then like kind of stayed there and people are like it's time for tim scott's big move and then like nothing nothing stayed there and people are like it's time for Tim Scott's big move and then like nothing nothing would happen yeah

we played his big move when he stumbled through that statement being like and if you don't like then you you can just leave the country the yeah we'll not have the yes thank you senator Scott and the country okay yep okay

so according to Scott scott it's because the voters were telling him not now tim i don't i don't think they're saying trey because he's talking to trey gowdy his homie trey i don't think they're saying no but i do think they're saying not now that is some predator ass logic right there. The fuck is that, bro? Okay, I know it sounds like no. Right. But what I hear is, not yet.

So I'm going to try in like five minutes. Right. Like, what the fuck? Shut up. You're not doing anything because you're we's whatever i know tim you you believed in yourself and you had a made-up girlfriend and everything laid out and this is this is the thanks you get but so gaudy seems like genuinely surprised by this they wrote a book together first of all for people who are not familiar with just political books that get published and absolutely nobody reads.

There's a Tim Scott, Trey Gowdy book where it's like how our unlikely friendship gives us hope for a different country or for a divided country. It's like, what is so unlikely about your friendship? I mean, it's because they're like, bro, we're from South Carolina. White people and black people should not be friends. Like, you're both conservative. You guys have the same exact politics. It's not like Trey Gowdy and Ta-Nehisi Coates or some shit. Like, maybe there.

I'd be like, whoa. But not two conservatives from the same state like i like the fact that you're saying it's unlikely means like you're like because racism yeah because we're racist gaudy is racist like that's essentially the only way it's unlike the fuck um but yeah i the it seemed like so trey gdy, who is his like shockingly his friend, seemed surprised. Also, his staff didn't know and only found out after watching the show. His campaign even sent out a fundraising email less than half an hour before he made the announcement with the subject. One last chance.

So all of that, like, yeah, yeah you know he like made the decision like minutes before he went on maybe and like it was communicated but no like nobody on his staff knew um also weird he canceled events in iowa just a few days ago because he had the flu and when fox when the fox interview begins he says he really does have the flu but is looking forward to getting back on the campaign trail when he's better and then he announces that he's dropping out like 30 seconds later yeah this this whole exchange was really odd i feel like we witnessed him make the decision to drop out just quit in real time here we'll play it it's because it is it's just like well he switches it up you can tell when like knowing where this is headed, you can tell like the moment the

rhetoric kind of changes and you're like, oh, he about to quit. Who is battling not only his fellow competitors, but also battling the flu. Let me start by asking, how are you feeling? Dallas won this afternoon. So I guess you're feeling a little. Shout out Dak. But how are you feeling? And when are you going to get back on the campaign trail well trey anytime dag prescott has five touchdowns uh you feel better about everything i can't even i can't even believe him when he says

that right you know anytime dag prescott has five touchdowns for his squad run. It is an optimal evening for him. That feels like you're just reading the box score, man. Yeah. And I think he had two ints. What? I've been drinking a lot of water. I'll be down for another couple days, but

I'm looking forward to getting back on the campaign trail. Without any questions, one of the things I would recommend to every single American, I know it's not possible, by the way, if you ever want to love your country more, run for president. Oh, okay, just like that. Traveling this country, meeting people has been one of the most fantastic experiences of my entire life. But unfortunately, I got there. Filthy germs.

I did on May 22nd. But when I go back to Iowaowa it will not be as a presidential uh candidate i am suspending my campaign i think the voters uh who are the most remarkable people on the planet have been really clear that they're telling me not now tim i don't think they're saying trey no but i do think they're saying not now. And so... Yeah. Damn.

Trey's eyes got even smaller. Dude, yeah. They went from pinholes to... I don't know. What's smaller than that? Pissholes in a snowbank, as my mom once said about me rolling in extremely hungover.

Guys rolled in with your eyes looking like piss holes in a snowbank i was like damn calamity jane where'd this folksy shit come from um fucking deadwood uh anyways i don't know hey man rest in power to that campaign that's right you know i feel like a lot of people were saying tim scott is going to be trump's vp candidate um but i don't know if we saw enough who we who knows i'm i am no political analyst i mean yeah if yeah what follow up mike pence with tim scott yeah i mean he would be i feel like he would just say nothing i mean i don't doubt any person who's picked as vp they're gonna know what the fuck what time it is and they're just gonna be like yep yep yep i'm just gonna knock and i will be in the pictures right yeah and when there's a

bunch of racist shit happening i will have to deploy my race to defend this administration that's right um which may be i don't know. Who knows. They're like. They're test. They're raptors testing the fences. So. Who knows what kind of fucking. Ideas they got. They're already trying to figure out.

How to. Completely replace. Like bureaucrats. With people that are willing to. Let them do whatever the fuck they want. If they take the White House. So. Yeah.

Doesn't seem like anything's off the table. And finally. We will not be getting to see. Coyote versus. Acme, the live-action CG animation hybrid that completed principal photography. So they wrapped on making the movie, the physical part of production, last year in New Mexico. It was...

I don't know. People seemed to really like it. It was testing extremely well. It cost $72 million to make. Stars like John Cena, produced by James Gunn, did really well with test audiences. And Warner Brothers just fucking shelved it. Not like indefinitely,

was like, we're not going to put it out just yet. They're like, we are saying we're not gonna put it out just yet they're like we are saying this is not coming out ever and we are taking the tax write-off for real yeah i mean everyone's like oh this is it's uh giving batgirl uh just yeah we have a movie and we're gonna say no and then we're just gonna do it for a tax write-off um even though people spent fucking hours and hours and hours making it yeah unbelievable yeah i was like like the amazon was apparently interested in buying it but like that wouldn't allow them to do the tax write-off thing so i mean obviously this isn't the most important problem in the world, but it does just like get back to the way that like the corporatization of everything is just so fucked.

And like the things have become so twisted and just against the will of the people. And just like, you know, we're ruled by whatever fucking David Zaslav thinks is a good idea for getting a tax write-off. I don't want to spend $50 million to market it. How about I just eat it and just get a $30 million write-off? They do that all the time. Just

fucking drop the thing on streaming and nobody barely exists. They must be fucking in must be in the red like cardi b you know what i mean i don't know what the fuck is going on if that like that logic is because like to your point they're like people this is testing well so presumably it would make money um and it is just kind of like the i didn't even really know about this movie till like these sort of write-ups started happening the last month or so but yeah uh cool like i don't know it seems

like it probably could have done okay oh you know what we have a last minute update to this story uh apparently the public backlash was uh so swift over the weekend that they are now saying they will allow the movie to be sold off um so basically they said they were gonna dump it got a lot of attention for that and probably drove up the price for buying it so or did they i don't know is it like does that drive up the price be like yo bro i can't even put this shit out i'm gonna just eat it as a tax write-off yeah and then you can be like oh yeah yeah uh you can get that shit for what i make for 72 so you can get that shit for like 110 right yeah hopefully this doesn't become there like they're holding everybody hostage by being like yeah you know that movie you want to see we're deleting it from our

servers fuck y'all unless unless somebody was somebody wants to come in and pay us $100 million. Yeah, just start holding movies at gunpoint and being like, I know y'all love E.T. I'll fucking do it. Unless somebody buys it, although that's not Warner, but you get the picture. Yeah, yeah. I could see that in the future. It seems

like it makes sense based on where we're at. I could see E.T. with a gun to his head. Every night when i close my eyes man all right well those are some of the things that are trending on this monday november 13th yeah we are back tomorrow with a whole ass episode of the show yeah yeah until then be kind to each other be kind to yourselves get the vaccine don't do nothing about white supremacy. And we will talk to you all tomorrow. Bye. Bye.
