yeah yeah how are you miles i'm i'm exhausted yeah first of all look anybody has i need sleep advice i'm waking up like at fucking two three and then like i can't go back that's not even a number two three yeah that's how sleep deprived you are 23 military time 11 8 11 p.m okay no like i'm doing this thing we're like i fucking wake up and i can't and i just i'm just laying there yeah like i cannot fall back. And it's not really exhausting me because like, I'm just like in semi twilight for the next few hours. But I would gone are the days where I'm like asleep. And then I wake up when I wake up. Yeah.

It's like, so, and I'm doing the thing I'm trying to stay hydrated before. So I don't have to go to the bathroom. I'm trying everything. Yeah. Any other advice y'all please. I know other people have this kind of shit from time to time it's not quite insomnia it's just like interrupted sleep it's not very helpful anyway have you tried waking up and trying to get a two three hour workout in um two three two three hour workout um i'm about to try i'm gonna try

oh shit um yeah all right well we're gonna get into some of the things that were happening this weekend uh first we're gonna tell you what we're up to by telling you a couple things that we think are underrated overrated uh miles what's something that you think is underrated underrated fucking marionette shows yes okay i saw i was hoping you would say this we took the geist child okay because this is everything is geist child's first everything everything so it's halloween there's this local theater okay that angelina knows no about it's called the bob baker marionette theater and it is like this puppet show company that's been around for like since like the 60s i want to say

um but they did a little performance like a halloween performance all these kids come out and whatever and they got all these halloween themed puppets and shit i was in the beginning i'm like yeah man i know all about puppets what of it fine and then i saw it and i'm like this shit is going so hard i cannot i just you know what it is it's the art of the puppeteering that is so captivating yeah because it's not like i'm like oh yeah that doesn't look like a person that's clearly a marionette it's more the it's the ability to make it like shake its hips like in a way that like you're like oh this little puppet can dance but it's the marionette the puppeteer just having the fucking amazing fucking

wrist strength the wrist finesse to make it do all that um and like i just love the idea that like you're the these puppeteers are so skillful you completely ignore the fact that a grown-ass adult is standing right behind the fucking puppet manipulating it that you're like look at the puppet go that puppet is a great actor yeah exactly and to that and to that i was like you know what i fucking i was sleeping on the marionettes i was sleeping on the puppetry for too long i'm no longer ignorant all praise and respect to the puppeteers out there um but it was wild because like they had some a lot of these numbers that they do with the puppets right because they're not doing like the voice the vocals for it they're just playing a track and like dancing with it yeah or like these you know

how like we had like those like i saw mommy kissing santa claus like these kinds of like sort of child facing songs that were like sort of comedic like in tone yeah from like the 60s and 70s so there's like stuff like that one was about like uh like i'm dating the invisible man and like this puppet was like oh stop you're tickling like i'm dating the invisible man and like this puppet was like oh stop you're tickling me don't touch me there and be like later and you're like whoa later because this is all baked into the track from the 60s and then like the invisible man came out like just sucking down cigarettes and i'm like okay this is some old school shit but i fucking love it another fucking song made reference to doing heroin.

Really? Because it was talking about doing dope and stuff. Yeah. Yeah. But like dope, not like weed. It felt like heroin-esque. But the kids just love it. I was looking around.

That good 60s heroin. You know, like back then, you do a little bit of heroin. You go out to the movies. It was nothing. Exactly. Not brown, brown. They were doing heroin. Have you tried the heroin the movies it was nothing um exactly not brown brown yeah you know they were doing hair you tried the heroin kids are doing today oh boy yeah but yeah it was but the fucking again i just love how i think like i really like when you go into something

thinking like i know what the sensation is going to be for me as a participant or viewer and it completely upends that that's blows you away yeah yeah this is like the you know how you have to hear about a thing like five times for it to truly like stick in the world of marketing i guess that's the thing i think it was like the third or fourth time i've heard of the bob baker marionette show so oh man they got a christmas one dude they got a christmas one coming up don't sleep on it because they have a whole they have like a whole light infrastructure in the theater this was not done at the theater they had like set up a stage like out in public so they could fit like a ton of kids in this like park area yeah but yeah the fucking when it's in the theater they have like real lighting cues and stuff it's a whole

other whole other level yeah i figured like i i've always assumed that i'm missing something on the marionette front because like that was like john cusack's character and being john malkovich is like a marionette artist and like it's treated with this reverence that didn't match up to my assumptions about marionette yeah it's so you because like you i feel like there was this guy at city walk and i feel like this is kind of like a class there's always like a marionette dude who's doing jimmy hendrix the marionette you know what i mean yeah yeah i feel like every person probably has a memory of someone seeing a marionette jimmy hendrix like rip the star spangled banner like solo yeah you know so like and though like and i was captivated by that then but even even in adulthood, it's the puppets still go.

My underrated... Let's see. Hunter Moon. I feel like I need another astrological makeup after shitting on the eclipse from a couple weeks ago. We went out. Kids and parents...

My parents are in town town kids and parents get excited about this sort of shit like a big moon they're like whoa did you hear about the moon um my kids are also really excited that new year's eve day is going to be one two three one two three um they're like oh shit about that dad one two three one two three it's never gonna happen again uh in the date but um but anyways we took wait wait what's one two three twelve thirty one twenty three one two three one two three yeah oh it's mic check it's international mic check that yeah okay yeah so my kids are excited about that um they were excited about this hunter moon that's supposed to be one of the i guess i i looked it up i had it like i had it wrong

the the version i had heard was that it's like brightest moon of the year and it seemed to moon but i guess or it seemed bright but and it also seemed moon it seemed moon man uh thank you it's very like it felt like i i don't know like kind of crazy we did we took a little nighttime meander through the neighborhood and my five-year-old son was just loudly warning the animals that they were doomed and to say goodbye because the hunter moon was gonna make it super easy to kill them. Oh, is that why they call it a hunter moon? Because it's basically a spotlight for night hunting? Yeah, for night stalking.

Okay, Ramirez. Very dark, very foreboding. Yeah. But yeah, so it was cool. The big moons, I haven't had a lot of experience going out and chasing the big moons, but, uh, that was a blast. Uh, and I also have for my underrated, like we've been, I've been talking a lot about how much, um, Tim, what's his name?

Burton. Burton. How much Tim Allen is the, how much Tim Allen is the face name? Burton. Burton. How much Tim Burton is the... How much Tim Allen is the face of all things goth? Hardaway? Very versatile name, Tim. I hadn't even really thought about that. Allen, Burton, Hardaway?

Hardaway. The three Tims. That's a wild-ass t-shirt. Every man has three tims inside of him um out hardaway hardaway the rat the cat the dog um but anyways i've been talking about like how tim burton has the whole like goth art world like the public imagination just on lock to the point that I thought that he directed the Addams Family movie.

Everybody thinks he directed everything that is where people wear black. Everyone's like, oh yeah, that's a Tim Burton joint. I feel like Halloween is like, I don't know, more death and darkness.

We just suppress the goth inside of us all year until Halloween comes around. It makes Halloween so powerful. And I think that's great. But we need to embrace it more. It's just so, it's too fun. We shouldn't have just one part of the year where you can like we have a halloween tree on our street and it's got like beheaded heads hanging from it with like posts through the temple oh this is the one that you're kind of like this is a little it's a little intense but like it's awesome it's like a body bag with like taped heads rules it fucking rules man it's fuck and everyone's into it because

it's the one time we're allowed to just openly celebrate our inner goth and it's i don't know is it also because like especially like i mean western but like american culture is very like death phobic yes you know like the last thing we want to talk about is that last thing we want to acknowledge is that we're mortal in any fucking way so like is that maybe like is it like a release valve to like kind of acknowledge it yeah i think that's exactly right i think we spend a lot of our time suppressing that like when it when our like elders get old we like stick them in a home so we don't have to like see them die oh you better not yeah you better keep them in the house that's right but we like as a culture that is like the thing that

people look at america and they're like what the fuck what are you doing yeah i know because like because we're so scared of death right right yeah and like even like with my family like everybody's like no you're not going no fucking home no it like, all right, you live in this room now. Here we go. But yeah, and it's such a huge cost, too. It's really wild. Yeah. I mean, I'm sure we'll talk about that, because that's a huge factor in American life, is

the cost of just getting old. Yeah, yeah. But, yeah. You can see it busting out in other holidays like easter they're like these weird christian groups that turn easter into like a torture porn anti-semitic like right right horror show horror show they they call it the passion play but it's just like people are just so like they have this submerged horniness for death and i think it's just like people are just so like they have this submerged horniness for death and i think it's great that we get to celebrate it at least around halloween but it it feels

unhealthy it's like completely suppressed the rest of the year i mean because if you're if you are fighting against the reality that our you know our time is limited yes you've completely you're going to be completely consumed by running away and you'll never actually be able to like embrace like the the here and now yeah um you know exactly but hey um what do we know what do we know i don't know shit it turns out yeah yeah but uh i'm gonna go yeah you said i had the case of the mondays yeah i just had to play that clip just to set the record you gotta you got a case of the Mondays? Alright, let's take a quick break.

We'll come back with our overrated and some news. I've been thinking about you. I want you back in my life. It's too late for that. I have a proposal for you. Come up here and document my project. All you need to do is record everything like you always do. One session.

24 hours. BPM 110. 120. She's terrified. Should we wake her up? Absolutely not. What was that? You didn't figure it out?

I think I need to hear you say it. That was live audio of a woman's nightmare. This machine is approved and everything? You're allowed to be doing this? We passed the review board a year ago. We're not hurting people. There's nothing dangerous about what you're doing. They're just dreams.

How do you feel about biscuits? Hi, I'm Akilah Hughes, and I'm so excited about my new podcast, Rebel Spirit, where I head back to my hometown in Kentucky and try to convince my high school to change their racist mascot, the Rebels, into something everyone in the South loves, the Biscuits. I was a lady rebel. Like, what does that even mean? The Boone County Rebels will stay the Boone County Rebels with the image of the Biscuits.

It's right here in black and white in print. A lion. An individual that came to the school saying that God sent him to talk to me about the mascot switch. As a leader, you choose hills that you want to die on. Why would we want to be the losing team? I'd just take all the other stuff out of it.

podcast or wherever you get your podcast and we're back and um what's something you think is overrated? Overrated. Two things. First, shaming people for liking candy. Thank you. Now, it's well documented that I'm not with the corn. Well documented. Okay.

It's well documented. But I don't care if people like candy corn. if that people like candy corn and i i say this because i was at like a halloween sort of like like race like 10 5k thing that you can like kind of walk and just kind of talk with your friends uh and a buddy of mine was like people wear costumes he dressed up as a gigantic candy corn okay and he was he had all these like you know bags of candy corn like sealed bags of candy corn that like his suit was so big he could just like produce a bag of candy corn like sealed bags of candy corn that like his suit was so big he could just like produce a bag of candy corn and like then like you know dole it out amazing these teenagers were like oh they were like they were screaming at him from the sides were like

man fuck it was so fucked it was so aggressive and we're like yo chill chill man what the fuck and they're like boo we don't like candy corn yeah and it's like all right asshole damn uh and i was like a part of me they didn't want to go further with these teenagers but when i saw that i was like look we gotta we gotta draw the line somewhere like this person's just have trying to spread joy through their over sugared treats and and dressing in costume so i think that just just shut the fuck up you know what i mean don't there's no there's not constructive if you don't like it then you don't like settle the world would be a better place if we could just shut the fuck up do you not like sugar and butter like that's what it tastes like to me it's just sugary butter

it's hardened cream yeah yeah right icing um and then the other thing i guess is overrated is just again uh that's the geist child's first halloween yeah we inherited a shitload of fucking bag costumes for babies i'm gonna say overrated is how quote unquote safe these fucking kids costumes are and by bag costumes you mean they're like costumes that are made of pre-packable bags. Yeah, exactly. By that I mean costumes made of garbage bags. Construction garbage bags. That way you can't poke your fingers through it. They are fucking tough.

But like, they are made of such synthetic materials like, I'm pretty sure this like, Pinocchio costume was gonna start smoking just in the sunlight. It just felt so fucking and it like reeks of petroleum like some of these things it was just not a part of me was felt very i don't know like suddenly i was like i don't know this is so like like you know like so chemically made

yeah like this is like the most unsafe fabrics and i guess that's how you probably get a fucking costume down to like 15 bucks or whatever but shit yeah just to the point where i'm like no no no i'm not i can't even have you near like an led light bulb yeah with this i feel like something could happen yeah i got i ordered a costume from china uh jedi costume and it came out of that i was like what is that smell like why does this smell so much like chemicals and i think you're right because 100 made of solidified gasoline that would just yeah yeah of course a single spark cotton you know what's that cost it's old tires yeah that we just turned into fabric oh you got a Jedi costume

we're doing a whole Star Wars this year last year last year was Spiderman the eldest he's going as a stormtrooper oh shit he's got little shoulder patches that can switch up

the rank that he's got little shoulder patches that can switch up the uh switch up the rank that he's very excited about and i don't think he understands that nobody's gonna give a shit about that but well if i saw the orange one out i'd say okay sir that's right yeah yeah salute um but yeah it's and then my youngest of course has backed out of wanting to be part of the star wars thing and he's just gonna be a ninja but um he's gonna be baseball player i love that um my so what's your overrated my overrated is related to this uh halloween costumes that don't have built-in muscles they're overrated and bullshit oh shit man all right i've been i've been doing the superhero costume for years now yeah batman costumes yeah built-in muscles you know um

they make me look big strong like big strong boy yeah of course i got a jedi costume it's just my body in there that's my body i gotta tell you i don't fucking like it miles oh shit my kids are not impressed uh the i guess the muscles were doing a lot of the work for those previous costumes um yeah yeah yeah for sure and they give you a glimpse yeah i guess it's like again it's like you know halloween is just holding up a lot of is it there's just a lot of pressure we do we're putting a lot of weight on halloween like it's the one time we get to like wear masks for you know regularly like mask work is an important thing in many cultures, mask celebrations,

getting to dress up. There were all these holidays in indigenous cultures where you would get to pretend to be your boss or switch jobs with your boss and wear masks. It's important. We're putting it all on Halloween.

I want my body to be in a mask that makes me look big, strong. Yeah. Because I'm not going to do the work. I'm not going to do the work. But I want the cause. Give me a glimpse. Give me a taste. This also gives me an idea of what body modification would do for me.

I like that you call it simply working out a ton. That's the key to like you actually put a couple like rubber plates under my skin yeah to make it look like my shoulders are fucking like on some superman shit yeah it's i've seen i saw a little kid i saw a little kid wearing like a buff like costume and i i was like in my periphery yeah oh this kid was goosed wearing a goose suit but this goose suit was so like well made yeah i kept double taking i'm like this kid is fucking ripped and then i'm like god it's that same it's that cop costume it's gigantic muscles but it's just so it's interesting how a costume does yeah it does give you that first

like wait hold on now yeah oh okay costume costume just generally like people again maybe we just adopt this into our day-to-day lives do you remember the first time dre came out when he was like shredded and yeah it was like at a like some award show or something he came out he was wearing like a black long sleeve like t-shirt and yeah that you're describing him every time he goes out yeah he's always wearing like your skin tight black long sleeves i was like man he's like is he wearing a muscle shirt i feel like it's such an audacious move that you can get away with it nobody would know everyone would be like what the fuck okay this guy's shredded um just do that pull up with just three like just a gang of fools wearing goose

suits and just to see if you just change the energy in the room yeah oh i bet you would right um yeah until someone comes up they're like let me feel like what up and they're like, let me feel. They're like, what the fuck? They're like, it's pillows. Shut up. Please, just don't say anything. They got goose suits on. I told you. I told you it was a goose suit. These guys are goosed. All right.

Oh, man. That's what's going on with us. What's going on with everybody else? Bad times for Mike Pence. Yeah. Sorry, Mike. He suspended. Poor one out for the white hahaired one oh he just suspended it oh he's probably gonna be back right yeah it's just a temporary i just need i need to take a quick i need to i take a five on taking a knee real quick yeah yeah

yeah coming back just recharge man take a breather but yeah it i mean sure we we knew the troubles were mounting up he didn't have money he was barely like getting into the like the range he needed to make the next debate um and i think we all knew this except for mike pence and maybe all the consultants he was paying yeah um that he was not even going to make anything that resembled a challenge right um in the primary so there it is and then a fun little punctuation on that is like trump is like saying that ben should endorse him now god damn he's funny he's been fucking dragging his ass across the fucking earth and now you want the endorsement that is very funny um yeah what's and then also oh yeah the other thing the 14th amendment in insurrection

disqualification trials are starting this week where uh in minnesota and colorado there are lawsuits bringing are that are coming forward are being brought to the court that are beginning this week that are essentially are trying to disqualify trump from being on the ballot under the 14th amendment like the insurrection clause because of january 6th they're saying this disqualifies him from running for office no matter what direction they go let's like let's presume they are in favor of keeping him off the ballot it will immediately be appealed to the supreme court um aka clarence thomas's insurrection clown court so let's have a scenario this is decided by the Supreme Court. Yeah.

And maybe their ruling does give better definition for the future, but at this point, he's already going to get away with this one, and who knows what the fuck is going to happen. They're not going to weigh in on whether he can be on the ballot, or at least in one specific instance they were like we're not gonna we're not gonna bring i think someone was trying to take that immediately to the supreme court to be heard and they declined so the only way now like it's the

appeal fuck out of here yeah they're like don't bring us into this like did you just hear about my wife jenny and all the shit that she's caught up in please um and the rv that no one knows how the the debt was forgiven does freezing cold take you know that uh twitter account freezing cold takes where like when something happens in sports they go back and find all the just bullshit takes for do they do politics or is there a version of them for politics i don't know if there's an official account but i mean i feel like that is like a version of twitter back and banter that's like the god i want to this you i want to see the wall street journal like somebody needs to go back and find the pence is running and everyone's scared and biden is scared that donors are excited which

is definitely true but um yeah some of those articles really were taking his candidacy seriously uh yeah at a time well and i mean how could dude the guy was a fucking con he was a sitting congressman he was a fucking governor he's a fucking vice president like you've got like that's the shit you want to have to kick off a presidential run. And just allergic to anything resembling like political charisma. Yeah. And again, his DNA is best foods, mayo. So it just wasn't going to really be appealing to many people.

It just, it is what it is. But Hey, Mike, just go and you and mother go right off into the sunset or something. Just have a good, he's clearly clearly this is big news for the world of fucking venture capital and private equity you know this dude is going to be big big player big chess piece could you imagine he couldn't even get a consulting gig right after this yeah like the revolving door is like broken for him yeah he did he just got stuck in there yeah like let me out they're like sorry dude sorry man you're kind of embarrassing everyone yeah um all right a big rip to matthew perry uh from friends who passed away this weekend tragically at the way too young age of 54 from an apparent drowning at his home and a big go fuck yourselves to

anti-vaxxers who they're trying to claim this one oh yeah like immediately because yeah he had a t-shirt that he wore that said could i be any more vaccinated when you know celebrities were trying to do their part to get people uh not scared and like interested in the vaccine uh is that like that's like a chandler is that like a chandler catchphrase could i be anymore um yeah yeah yeah like that that was his i mean the vaccine part uh you didn't say that's episode one could i be any more vaccinated um no but yeah yeah that's like the tone of a lot of his jokes right i'm sure it's one of those things like where we remember him saying it more than he actually said like the exact words could i be anymore but you know uh it's it is certainly the vibe of the character

yeah yeah yeah and yeah candace taylor a former republican candidate for governor of georgia and current gop chair of georgia's first congressional district uh who also recently compared taylor swift Satan, um, said that, uh, blame the actor's death on being vaccinated for COVID-19, uh, anti-vaxxers edited his Wikipedia page to state, it is unclear whether the drowning was due to complications from the COVID-19 vaccine.

That is such a fucking dumb, it's like addendum. Yeah. Like to add, like, it's just so funny. It's obvious. You could say it's unclear addendum yeah like to add like it's just so funny it's obvious you could say it's unclear about anything yeah you could say it's unclear whether his drowning was due to you know complications with his hulu subscription fallout from the jfk assassination conspiracy

it's unclear yeah exactly yeah or complications from 9-11 yeah or something like that unclear if it was related to 9-11 how long was it i'm not gonna blame it all on 9-11 uh if i don't know it got taken down probably yeah long enough that people notice and then right-wing influencer matt wallace posted a theory that matthew perry died because of the vaccine but two hours earlier he had floated the idea that he was secretly murdered because he was about to reveal the truth about Peto Wood. Oh. So this is another right-wing Matt who we have to keep an eye on. These motherfuckers.

That is so wild that one second you're this. Actually, it's probably the vaccine. Actually, it could be the pedophile. I'm just putting ideas out there. Yeah. Just asking the questions. You know what i mean he was coming off like his memoir is full of him being like it's a miracle i'm alive i have like so many

medical issues it's you know um yeah like one of those excerpts i was blown away about when he was on don't the set of don't look Yeah, and had to be basically... He was put on a thing called ECMO machine, which does all the breathing for your heart and your lungs. It's called a Hail Mary, No One Survives that in late 2020

he had to pull out of filming a cameo in Adam McKay's Climate Change Satire Don't Look Up after his heart stopped for five minutes and his ribs had to be broken to resuscitate him. He detailed in his memoir. Um, so that is so grim,

man. Yeah. Yeah. Well, yeah. Uh, onward and upward. I hope,

uh, hope he, you were, you were having peace because it does not sound like it was a very easy time with all those, I mean, you know, especially with all those i mean with you know especially the drug use and stuff like that yeah yeah he struggled but it wasn't the vaccine turns

out you losers yeah uh all right let's take a quick break we'll be right back i've been thinking about you i want you back in my life. It's too late for that. I have a proposal for you. Come up here and document my project. All you need to do is record everything like you always do. One session. 24 hours. BPM 110. 120. She's terrified. Should we wake her up?

And we're back. Real quick side tangent, sorry, from the Matthew Perry article. i didn't want to bring it up as we were talking about his death but just do it moments later yeah yeah after after the break uh yeah have you noticed that like copy editing has got is like getting terrible it's so bad right now like i i was going so there's this article about the t-shirt that he wore. Could I be anymore? The t-shirt itself that he's wearing is, could I be any space more? Like,

could I be any more vaccinated? Any more. Yes. The article that is about this in the independent, like not a, it's not like some random blog. It's in the independent and they've changed it to, could I be anymore, one word.

Like it's a weirdly rephrased Hamlet monologue. Could I be anymore? Or could I be anymore? Yeah. But it's just, it's wild. I blame AI for something. The amount of typo the amount of misspellings i see is kind of like because it used to be one of those things like you'd see them and you'd be like oh oh yeah like i remember dude in college i would fucking like email the

website yeah like i was like i was insufferable i'm sorry i would be like uh you actually wrote like this is misspelled and be like, it's still there. But there's so many things now that are like frequently misspelled that sometimes I'm like wondering if I know the difference between affect or effect or things like that. And I'm totally, yeah, it happens. But I'm guessing this is probably part and parcel to the lack of proper funding yes in the journalistic field this is an article in the independent that goes out of its way to introduce a typo to like degrade the copy editing work done by the self-printed t-shirt industry i feel like i might just be getting old like but i i do i do feel like it's also just getting fucking worse

worse and worse yeah well because then a part of me is like sort of like why was i why was it drilled into me to be able to look like see these grammatical errors or whatever and have to learn proper composition of the english language when it's just falling apart but you know whatever we got i'm i'm i'm busy trying to avoid death man yeah just avoid thinking about it yeah yeah yeah i feel that's why i don't even want to think about anymore even like the idea of the the concept of the word anymore it just links too much could i be anymore um there's a finality to it uh so there's it was a horrifying weekend of violence in Gaza. Israel just relentlessly bombing, starting the ground invasion, and just horrific conditions for the Palestinian people in Gaza to the point that nobody can communicate. There's a good chance that many of the people are are not alive but there's no electricity or communication networks and um so all these accounts are like falling silent um yeah i think they only

the the admitted like the administrative body within gaza that is there to keep up like their telecommunications said things were slowly coming back online yeah but yeah there was like a like a full-on like nearly 24 hour a little bit more period where they were like we couldn't get to anybody like if people were calling for emergency services there was just nothing that could be done yeah um just another horrible dimension to the already numerous horrible dimensions to what is happening there right now. Yeah. With so many people in emergency need of help at this point,

uh, not being able to communicate at all is just horrifying. Yeah. Um, but, uh, there's also, it was a huge weekend for peaceful protests calling for a ceasefire in Gaza.

Um, on Friday in Nework jewish voices for peace took over grand central station uh raf shimanoff was there um and uh our guests our guests uh from last tuesday's episode uh and it was just massive i mean it was really impressive to see um yeah yeah and also how swiftly they get arrested yeah is really it's it's wild yeah when you're out there uh trying to protest against state violence they'll get their act together real quick yeah yeah i'm gonna believe like that suddenly i could moves us like a swift battalion. Yeah.

They're like, what about all the night? We get it. You guys play, you know, who to disrupt and who to encourage. We get it. But like, yeah,

seeing the sort of like the line of protesters that had been taken into custody was really, uh, something to see, like just the sheer amount of people that they, they took in. Uh, one of the biggest was in london

um where i don't know if you saw like some of the aerial shots from london um but you know some one guy on social media was like london now this is horrifying how are jews meant to stay in the uk um which oh that so who was who is in that group of people that must have been especially scary for the ones who were at the peaceful protest organizing it imagine right imagine how horrifying it must have been for them well this is just part of that rhetoric that's trying to conflate people's opposition to the israeli government and their policies with the entire religion of judaism yes exactly um and this is just oh my god and like we're only it's like we said even like a like a week or two ago the the indiscriminate killing of innocent people isn't going to make anyone safer no it is just creating like a mass radicalizing event that

people are not also coming to grips with um and it just it's like really fuck like the fact that the white house the white house is also failing spectacularly right now yeah um and as our most like colonial powers in the world but with the u.s there is a close relationship um with israel that the administration is trying to act like kind of isn't there yeah there were like statements coming out of the administration when they're talking about the ground invasion or what they're saying is like now uh like an or they call it the second phase because they don't want to call it an ground invasion for like rhetorical purposes and the media is just lining up with that they're like netanyahu calls it the second phase so that's what we're calling it now yeah it's a ground invasion and it's going to whatever and more

bodies are going to be destroyed on both sides yeah yeah um and then but then you have like the white house saying stuff like look any military action that is happening in Gaza, look, that's a decision made by the Israeli government and no one else. Using our weapons and our financial support. 100%. So rather than actually forcefully trying to use the leverage that the United States government has to, at the very least, stop the military action, let alone what should come after that um they're just trying to pull the fucking mariah carey like oh i don't know her yeah yeah for real this is and biden is putting this is what makes me really fucking nervous right because we're talking about how trump could very much win again in 2024 and biden is putting himself in a real shitty spot like

there's billions of dollars flowing out of the country and into munitions makers and weapons makers pockets. And the very people he is relying on to vote for him are screaming for things like a ceasefire and to address like, you know, the high cost of living in the United States. And meanwhile, we're just hearing stuff like Janet Ye yellen being like we can afford like multiple wars the united states is fine like fiscally to handle all these wars but we're also talking about people who are destitute like within the country so yeah this is just it's all swirling in a very very shitty cloud um that it's yeah it just gets worse and worse i mean the u.s makes money off of multiple off of worse you know so yeah like six guys do yeah yeah the exactly right the u.s makes money off of uh six guys who are well connected um yeah yeah and meanwhile we're yeah we're stuck with the the horror of it all there's a horrifying weekend for mass shootings in the u.s um so the main

shooter was found dead um but meanwhile 11 other people were killed in mass shootings over the weekend at parties at bars um at you know halloween house parties it's just yeah when there are this many guns this is what happens um but yeah it. I guess when you look at the stats, a lot of the mass shootings are happening at houses. People are in households. Oh, yeah. It's like beef that's getting resolved with guns. And then there's just a ton of people caught in the crossfire.

Yeah, exactly. But anyways, this is going to keep happening until we're able to get guns like pulled out of communities the way australia did after one mass shooting um and i know everybody thinks that's wildly unrealistic but i do think many years into the future we will look back at the conditions we're living under as just yeah like y'all are unrealistic y'all were just doing that yeah hold on your babies were inflammable costumes and there were fucking firearms laying about just guns everywhere while the kids were like yeah yeah god yeah that like all of the costumes and a lot of the clothes like a lot of the pajamas that i've bought for my children like still come with like a label on them that i think i think it's much fewer than when i was a kid but like oh yeah when

we were kids they were like this thing is made of gasoline don't even watch backdraft while wearing there's actually some kindling in there for some reason we like have some kindling woven into the fabric for some reason yeah you can't even watch backdraft uh in the household when your child is wearing this but yeah they still they're still rocking with the flammable as hell stuff. Yeah. Alright, a couple movie updates. First of all,

Five Nights at Freddy's, baby. Five Nights at Freddy's. That's all I'm going to say. Did Bafo, Miles. Five Nights at Freddy's did Bafo? Five Nights at Freddy's did Bffo? Five Knife Freddy did Boffo, B-O. Despite the negative reviews, which... 26% on Rodney.

Yes. Even lower. The fans. Fans are out. Fans are out for this one. But yeah, Shattered Expectations. A North American box office debut of 80 million in north america 130 million globally like i thought i would have expected like man they uh you know they overperformed and made

30 million but 80 million that's a lot of money for something that is very confusing to me but i do think that yeah it's it's tapping into both the video game fans and also jamie loftus is you know she's been talking about the uh chucky cheese animatronics and their creepiness for a long time she's always tapped into the into the zeitgeist i feel like i think it's also like a perfect thing to watch like on hall because this is halloween weekend you know yeah and like all the other stuff like saw and i think the exorcist already came out right like in previous weeks yeah so maybe this is like a perfect thing where it's like a new thing to watch yeah uh but yeah shout out to everybody who went five knife freddy yeah um shout out

to all the five nice freddies yeah did you go and you're like oh hell yeah if you're like me and you only have a cursory knowledge of it did you fuck with it let us know it's like gang the clips actually looked pretty fun i gotta say um but the what did the clips like the yeah every time i saw a clip i was like okay you have my attention um i mean even if it's good probably won't see it because i'm not really fucking with horror but hey yeah if enough people have five people if i hear it five times yeah yeah i will do five knife at freddie that's right that is the and you have to that's the That's the rule that the witch has cursed us with. Maybe that witch curse is actually helping it at the box office. But it's already surpassed Halloween ends and Halloween kills, which were pretty big hits, pretty big horror hits. you can't under like discount the number of fans there are of the franchise whereas like those other halloween movies kind of come like it's an established thing yeah where i think there's just that energy people want the knife yeah yeah yeah people want the knife um fire five nights i want

the knife so i could have big muscles um oh hell yeah the uh remember the knife the band yeah they were they were pretty all right man they were a little bit all right i also think we're just in a new era when like hot video game movies for a long time like obvious like in the same way that like you look back at some of the early comic book movies and it's like they feel like a need to be like wham pal and like make it silly and dumb because they you know that's how adults think about comic book movies like i think we're seeing a similar thing where like video game movies for a while we're like nobody sees these they're always terrible and now even though they may still be a little bit terrible they have come around and like we're seeing like massive returns like from the mario movie from

the sonic movies from even five knife reddies so yeah killers of the flower moon is still doing fairly well um but there is a controversy because, so it runs for, it comes in at a three and a half hours. My, uh, 34, I think, right?

Yeah. Well, when, uh, as I mentioned, my parents are in town, my parents, and I usually,

when my dad's in town, we'll, he's a, he's a movie fan. We'll usually catch something. Um, as I still remember him coming out and visiting me one time and we watched both sicario and johnny depp's black mass and like like back to back um

just two dad movies oh hell yeah but back to back like let's let's see killers of the flower moon i was like hell yeah wait a second this is right this is not this is three hours and 34 minutes man you're not three hours 26 sorry oh my bad my bad my bad no i said you have to stay through the critic uh through the credits to see the secret scene at the end um oh yeah yeah right right right but it was um so some theaters are adding unauthorized intermissions, which makes fucking sense to me. Totally. Yeah.

And a Colorado theater put up a sign being like, hey, we will give you an intermission in this screening. And it caught the attention of the studio. And they were like, you must not. And you may not. And made them pull it down oh god forbid like at an hour and 45 minutes in they're like hey you guys need a second for the next hour and 45 minutes right yeah because i mean i like when i saw oppenheimer i knew it was long and i didn't

do my usual thing where i drink like a gigantic vat of cherry coke yeah like in the movie theater because i was like trying to be conscious of the fact that like i might have to go pee pee yeah and i don't want to miss the you know the cool scenes um but yeah i think like i remember hearing this over the weekend people were talking about this and i was like yeah yeah yeah that's fine that's fine and also i'm sure the theaters would probably love that because that mean let's all go to the lobby let's all go spend some cash yeah um it uh that makes sense to me uh your european theaters are doing it south american theaters are doing it um american theaters were doing it and i have now been asked to stop but but it's, uh,

yeah, like an anonymous theater employee. They interviewed him, was like people, I, you know, Scorsese might not like it, but the customers really fucking liked it. They,

uh, in fact, we're saying, man, this reminds me of how much I would have enjoyed this during Oppenheimer. Um, Oh, right.

See, exactly. And like intermissions are like, they give you a little moment to, I would have enjoyed this during Oppenheimer. Oh, right. See? Exactly. Intermissions are... They give you a little moment to... I still remember where the tape... You know how Scarface was broken over two tapes when you rented it?

I still remember the first scene back on tape two. I feel like it gets you another round of like attention i don't know like you're you're not like lulled into complacency if you if you have a little intermission get to like go out come back i'm almost yeah and you can kind of you can digest what you've just seen like anytime i've i've like i went to the theater and there's an intermission

you like you take a second like oh yeah that person's good what'd you think of this okay okay and then you can sit back down and you're refreshed because man if i ever since high school like i cannot be in a darkened room sitting down for too long or else my body starts shut down sequence yes like even if i'm well rested they'll be like bro this is like a comfy situation eddie by timing you are going sleepy by i'm going i'm going night nights right now sleepy pie night yeah face so i would 100 uh would embrace that but also i'm the kind of person who's like completely put off by seeing something go over two and a half hours yeah that i'm like oh fuck like i'll literally be like fuck

I'm not even going to watch that. I can't fucking do it. I feel like this used to be like a you've never really? No of course not. I just read a lot about it so I kind of know everything that's going on in it. I feel like they used to have more

theater movies with intermissions. I feel like they used to be more theater, like movies with intermissions. Like, I feel like that was, they used to be the standard. And they would have like little, little cartoons that played in between that told you where to spend money. I can't remember. Yeah. I mean, I look, like I said, I don't even remember. And the ones I go to, there wouldn't be an intermission because they're 90 minutes. That's right.
