Hello, the internet, and welcome to this episode of Tim Altrent.

I'm pretty sure I'm Jack I'm looking at my underwear I'm champion I'm champion I'm Jack sure I'm Jack I'm looking at my underwear I'm champion I'm champion I'm Jack that is champion and these are some things that are trending and then pivot into the heaviest shit yeah really heavy shit awful

three more mass shootings over the weekend yeah Monterey Park and then well Alhambra cause that man shot up a like Lunar New Year gathering at a dance studio. Apparently, this was stemming off of some kind of domestic violence thing. And in Louisiana, there were two mass shootings. It's wild, too.

Monterey Park, Alhambra, that's in LA. That's where the huge Asian community is. it's wild too like i you know monterey park alhambra that's that's in la that's like where that's where the huge asian community is and it's just so scary like when you read that news and just when the violence feels like it's just closer and closer or whatever then you just feel powerless it's just a very kind of uniquely american feeling uh that you get when you're like especially as i think about becoming a parent and i'm like shit that's something i would want to go to i'm asian that shit is like relevant i would go to that just like those kinds of things that you're it adds to this

like really fucked up sense of powerlessness when you're like what more does it take like how many more people just have to die for fucking for nothing? Yeah. Uh, to like really tighten up these laws. Yeah. Because the incentive structure is such that they're never gonna, they're never gonna fucking change it. It's the same thing with climate change. It's yeah. It's a really strange world to be a parent in for sure.

Have to like have overall faith in the ability to change things and like produce some positivity by yourself knowing what's right and like being able to communicate that 100 and i mean i think part of that too is unfortunately like from a young age i was already taught that like i'm operating in a losing game just racially and yeah so like when you compound those kinds of feelings with just even like stuff of like i can't even like how do you protect your family and shit ah it's very very gut-wrenching feeling and uh yeah just my thoughts are with all of these people who have been you know terribly affected by these mass shootings yeah all right uh thanks pfizer is trending uh a serious trend yeah yeah is it is it a serious trend no i mean i first when i saw it i was like oh are they

like making some kind of medication actually affordable right uh but it's everybody basically making fun of like an anti-vaxxer meme which is like a bullshit video where someone was like apparently they said they just got the the vaccine and they were like shaking like they were having leg tremors or something and everyone's like that's not a known side effect of it so now people are just hopping in on the trend with any old you know a bit of physical comedy somebody's legs doing something wild or twitchy or um yeah it like there are when you look up the trend there are the real anti-vaxxer tweets with like grim video of somebody in a hospital room or like somebody being like i can't stand up because thanks a lot pfizer but then there's so many good ones of that wild sex scene and showgirls, just like video glitches.

Yeah, white dudes break dancing really bad. Thanks, Pfizer. It's just getting really stupid. And I don't know what, because the video everyone's quote tweeting came from May of last year. So I'm sure for whatever, oh, that Taylor Swift video where she's quote unquote dancing. The one where somebody has a stack of cash in front of them and says, thanks, Pfizer. But they're actually using their shaking hand to spread through like a big pile of cash. Yeah, just a flux.

Other people are doing highlights from the Man United Arsenal game over the weekend. Love to see that. I love a bit of humor that makes David De Gea look like an utter trash goalkeeper. Anyway, so the internet's having a good time. The internet's having a good time. Reporting from the internet

appears that the internet is having a good time, Bob. Chris McGonigal. Yeah, dude. Charles. Old Chuck McGonigal. He's a. Charles. Old Chuck McGonigal. He's a former special agent in charge of the FBI's counterintelligence division in New York. He has just been indicted on charges that he helped the Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska in violation of U.S. sanctions. And he was in that office until 2018.

So a lot of people were like, wow. Wait, why have I heard Oleg Deripaska's name before? Because he's a big, like he's always been this figurehead and like people saying he's like the nexus of like a lot of the Russian fuckery in the U.S. Got it. Wow. Yeah. So that's like, oh, you've been you've been taking payments from this person right uh what a place what a place turns out the cops are also dirty

huh wait the cops really yeah jack that's turns out turns out yeah so I mean who knows where the right goes with this or the left but I'm sure we'll have some interesting takes by the day's end alright we'll take a quick break we'll be right back

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. 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.

cronenberg's naked lunch that's right as soon as my baby has proper eyesight just checking out all the body horror of dav Cronenberg. Yeah, they don't really fuck with the old one. Like Little Mermaid, I tried to put on for them when they were younger, and they were just like, yeah, this is so boring. I think I only fucked with Little Mermaid because Sebastian was like the first black character in a Disney movie I had encountered. Yeah, we didn't even make it that far. And he was a crab, but we knew he was from the islands. Yeah. Oh, he's a lobster. My bad. Brian corrected me.

Thank you for pulling my card. He's a lobster? I thought he was a crab. I don't know. Survey says he's a crab. Wow. So you're going to have to hold that L, Brian. Sorry. To the back with you. Tell you my other favorite Disney movie.

Didn't even make the list, Toy Story 4. They put all the first three Toy Stories on here. Is that the one with Sporky? The Spork one? I haven't even seen that one. Is that worth seeing? I mean, I like it, but I also like it in the context of it coming out when I have kids and them really enjoying

Dude, then Bryan just sent me a Little Mermaid fandom wiki that's like it says he's a lobster oh wow but disney says he's a crab i don't know i don't know whatever one says crab one says lobster look zeit gang settle this argument for us yeah um oath keepers is trending more and more of these oath keepers have been convicted of seditious conspiracy wow apparently they just like all got the idea at the same time yeah yeah nobody told them like the conspiracy right had to be an idea that someone probably seeded in their

head to do these seditious acts well now what if this person who was the person that encouraged i think they used inception or something because they haven't been able to find somebody who gave them this idea to do the seditious conspiracy jesus this is like we talk about this tomorrow with like the like brett kavanaugh documentary that came out we're like yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah we know that now go to the person who stood to benefit from this seditious conspiracy right do that part yeah uh but whatever then now they're all caught up in joe byron's sticky little document hands now and that's completely like cnn was like they ran something like oh number two democrat says joe

biden's lost the high ground on the documents like his document thing was worse than trump like at this point like i mean i'm sure that's what the right is saying but yeah i like that cnn's willing to repeat that yeah man they're like i said they love they love a good controversy now whatever they're trying to get some more fox viewers fair and balanced or um fair and balancered uh and then finally tim allen tim altrend yeah pamela anderson has a new biography claiming uh that he exposed himself to her on the set of home improvement yep now this is shocking to me because he's a conservative uh and a famous comedian and two famous coke addict two three groups of people that are known for never pulling

shenanigans like this yeah he said he's like oh i'd never i would have never done anything like that was apparently his response yeah i think might have actually been uh but it's like also that that's like one of those things where tim allen doesn't strike me as the most wholesome human being on the planet so file file that under, not shocked. Yeah. Yeah, we'll see. But I've seen multiple headlines about Pamela Anderson's new biography. That's like, now we finally get to hear the whole story.

So I'll be looking forward to reading summaries of that. Yeah. Anyways, did you ever watch the Santa Claus Chronicles? The Claus Chronicles? No, no, no. Once we started doing a dive into it and it became like a weird Trumpian allegory, I was like, come on now.
