Starting point is 00:03:31 The short show title is Vanadium Silver. This is the episode where we tell you some of the things that are trending on this Wednesday afternoon. Up first, we have a couple find out updates. People who fucked around and found out. Yeah. Some good, some kind of grim. So up first, Avelo Airlines,
Starting point is 00:03:50 you may have seen this Texas based company at your local airport. I know I've certainly seen it at the Hollywood Burbank airport, which again is the most goaded airport of all time. The best. Because it is a bus station that has planes fly out of it. So Avelo Airlines, they were so excited to tell people that they had signed a contract with DHS
Starting point is 00:04:10 to be an accessory to kidnapping and disappearing people off to foreign lands for deportation. Somehow people did not like that. So now they have said on Monday, it will close its base at the Burbank Airport as it struggles financially amid calls to boycott the airline over its decision to operate deportation flights under a contract with the Trump regime.
Starting point is 00:04:31 Damn. Yeah. See, I really thought that was a good move. When I advised them to just go big with that one, I was like, you know what's cool? They're going to love that. Kidnapping people. People are going to love that. Part of the modern day
Starting point is 00:04:45 Nazis yeah like cool I think they probably thought like we're Texas they're probably cool with this right it turns out all the other places that you fly to they're putting pressure on companies from not using your airline to never fly it again so yeah here you are so anyway the poor I mean there's so many different airlines there's's like Southwest, which is like the budget one where it's like you line up for your seats. But what about a racism airline? Yeah, Southwest, they got assigned seating soon.
Starting point is 00:05:14 That's true. Sorry, okay, Southwest, it's the one with the very funny flight attendants. Yes, yes, yes, yes, exactly. Especially when you fly into Las Vegas. Oh, welcome to lost wages. I'm sorry, Las Vegas. I'm sorry, did I say that?
Starting point is 00:05:27 Did I say that? Am I allowed to say that? I hate that flight from Burbank to Las Vegas because of the fucking weird, I feel like I get the, you get the most material on that flight from Vegas. I just sit there with a notebook and an eager smile on my face to write every single job.
Starting point is 00:05:44 Steven Moradius, are we? Steven Moradius. And then turn to the person next to me and say, I just sit there with a notebook and an eager smile on my face to write every single idea. Are we? And then turn to the person next to me and say, oh my God, can they say that? Like when we went to summer league together in Vegas, you kept elbowing me like, dude, dude, dude. I'm like, dude, ow, what? You said lost. Remember when I got nagged by that teenager?
Starting point is 00:06:01 Oh, he said, nice reps. Nice reps about my sneakers, he said nice reps. Nice We're not reps Nice reps, dude, and you were like banks Anyway Next up in the fuck around find out files You may remember this guy, Derek Huffman from the beginning of the year as this dad from Texas that forced his family to move to fucking Russia
Starting point is 00:06:33 because too many gays in America. Yeah, what about a country where you can be openly homophobic? Exactly, that'll be good. Wait, where was he? He was in Texas? Texas, right. Yeah, right, right, right, exactly. But hey, Tucker Carlson told him Exactly. That'll be good. Wait, where was he? He was in Texas? Texas. Right.
Starting point is 00:06:46 Yeah. Right, right, right. Exactly. But hey, Tucker Carlson told him that it was a homophobe's paradise. So he was probably like, guess what kids? He has three young daughters that he uprooted to go to Mother Russia. I just want to play a clip. This was him back in March after he had moved telling everyone.
Starting point is 00:07:04 It was like, why did I move to Russia? Well, here's why. Because it started a couple of years ago with the LGBT indoctrination of kids. Oh my God. You can't even turn on the TV these days without child cartoons talking about sex and gender. What child cartoons are you watching? Um, the transgender, uh, movement these mentally. Okay. The transgender movement fool.
Starting point is 00:07:31 Anyway, so this guy is a fucking, whatever is going on inside this guy is like, uh, what a, what a disaster. So I've been periodically like looking at this story because I've, I'm like, bro, this, I remember like right after that there was, kind of popped up again because they're like, it's so hard to live in Russia when you don't speak the language. It's so hard being an immigrant here who knows nothing about the culture and trying to assimilate and no one can help you. It's really bad. Now they have truly entered the grim fucking find out phase because this guy, Derek Huffman, he was offered expedited Russian citizenship under one condition, join the army.
Starting point is 00:08:12 He was like, oh, I want to show these people and my children that were committed to like the cause of living in Russia. And I like this is important for my kids to, to experience and then we can be full fledged Russian citizens. So he was told that if he signs up, he knows like, oh, you got experience as a welder? Okay, well, we could probably use you in maintenance. Oh, obviously we won't send you to the front to fight our invasion in Ukraine.
Starting point is 00:08:41 This is what his wife posted on Sunday, just updating people about how his military enlistment is going. He was told he would not be training for two weeks and going straight to the front lines, but it seems as though he's getting one more week of training and closer to the front lines. And then they are going to put him on the front lines. Yo! We are all praying really hard
Starting point is 00:09:09 that he could actually be utilized for his skills and not just be put as a fighter. Oh my God. I mean, first of all, I will say my very first thought, if were I to defect to Russia would be, well, let's just take a brief tour back through history at what goes on in Russia, when Russia's at war, and how thoughtfully they treat their troops.
Starting point is 00:09:40 Yeah, someone who just watched Chernobyl again, I'm like, it's just they they are just gonna throw bodies at the situation that truly well and truly well and truly and I Just like I thought I can weld I know like and I'm homeoboic. It's like yeah They they're gonna fucking lie to you. Are you for real? Do you know do you have do you know any of this really? It does it is giving Trump being like Vladimir. No, yeah Stop stop Don't do it. Yeah, so now this guy like he posted a thing on Father's Day where he looked very
Starting point is 00:10:21 thin and he was I think posting from the Maybe he was on the front or about to be. What the fuck, man. But he was just trying to like, you know, tell his kids, I was like, this is so fucked up. Like just the levels of fucked up, like you were completely, your homophobia that was just completely encouraged
Starting point is 00:10:39 by the media that you consume, made you think it was a good idea to uproot your family because there were too many gay people in the U S and now you're fighting. You're in the fucking front lines where the statistics around new recruits, like is it, the numbers are bad. Like it's, your longevity is not measured in months. It's like, either side of that conflict. It's, it's not good. Is that you're getting drafted into the army and is, is not good in there.
Starting point is 00:11:10 Oh my, and I mean, and now, you know, like, you know, there's talks about how like the Russian military is like exhausting all of their tank stockpiles and now they're like, they're, they're trotting out shit from the fucking seventies. Well, that's why you need a welder. Am I right? Come on guys. Yeah. So fucking weld some shit together. Yeah you need a welder. Am I right? Come on, guys. Yeah. So I can weld some shit together. Yeah. Just a horrible try. Like somebody who psychologically like does not know in his conscious mind
Starting point is 00:11:32 like why he's there, you know, like there's stuff going on there that like he's, you know, yeah, obviously. Wow. Yeah, that's fucked up. I didn't. Yeah, I didn't know this latest update. Miles, this is fucking me. I know it's fucking it fucked me up, too, up. I didn't. Yeah, I didn't know this latest update miles. This is fucking me I know it's fucking it fucked me up too. Cuz that when I heard I was like, you know He's trying he joined the army and I was like what and then I heard is like, oh you got duped into Fucking fighting and you and it's weird that I'm like this guy was just a simple homophobe
Starting point is 00:12:02 Fled the United States And it's like now- And this is why history education, the liberal arts educations in America, like this would be a great piece of just, you know, evidence of like why the American education system needs to be better because anybody who read any part of history is like, okay, so here's how this could go wrong. And then it went wrong in exactly that way.
Starting point is 00:12:28 Yeah. Yeah, exactly. Huh? So yeah, those fucking poor kids, man. Like that's just the thing that I get so upset for is like those fucking kids, man, they had them just Jesus Christ. Anyway. Horrible.
Starting point is 00:12:44 Yeah. All right yeah Horrible. Yeah All right one update and I don't know how this is possible so we're gonna we're gonna report this with a very small grain of salt and well we'll have to be fact-checking this because it sounds like 2,000 National Guard members have been released from duty following the Los Angeles area protests Mm-hmm. How's that? Because LA is still under attack. It's a war zone. It's a war zone. I can, I don't know, I'm like so tired
Starting point is 00:13:12 of even this dumb fucking, they invaded LA for all, so everything you read is that the morale was so fucking low. And all these people, they looked so bored just standing around the federal buildings downtown. But Pete Hegseth just basically made the call, half of them are coming back.
Starting point is 00:13:31 And a Pentagon spokesperson said, man, this is where you get full on regime bullshit, like fake news, quote, thanks to our troops who stepped up to answer the call, the lawlessness in Los Angeles is subsiding. It wasn't. Yeah, that's what happened. The lawlessness is all being acted out by DHS
Starting point is 00:13:49 and their fucking goons out here. As such, the secretary has ordered the release of 2000 California national guardsmen from the federal protection mission. Yep. I'm sure after that absolute debacle in MacArthur park, they were just like, what the fuck is this, dude? Like, what is the point of this? Like what, what, what,
Starting point is 00:14:05 what, like what is the point running military exercises on a children's camp? Yeah. Yeah. Great fucking sick. Yeah. Great. Great work. Heroes get fucked. And nobody scooped us on this. It was not leaked and therefore I am good at my job. And barely drunk at all. Yeah. Unfortunately all those battle plans were leaked and that's how we knew you guys had a no boats in the pond rule. No boats in the pond. No fast roping into the park. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:33 Okay. There's no one there. You cannot repel out of a helicopter into the park to run unnecessary military exercises on this children's summer camp. Yeah. Okay. Just FYI, that is the law that we need to put into place. Yeah. Just let them know these are the rules of engagement folks.
Starting point is 00:14:51 We hate to be hard asses here. Yeah. No but guys. All right. Let's take a quick break. We'll be right back. What's up guys? Welcome to Agushto Papa, the go-to spot for everything música mexicana.

Starting point is 00:18:13 Tune in on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you listen to your favorite shows. The summer of 1993 was one of the best of my life. I'm journalist Jeff Perlman, and this is Rick Jervis. We were interns at the Nashville Tennessean, but the most unforgettable part? Our roommate, Reggie Payne, from Oakley, sports editor and aspiring rapper. And his stage name? Sexy Sweat.
Starting point is 00:18:39 In 2020, I had a simple idea. Let's find Reggie. We searched everywhere, but Reggie was gone. In February 2020, Reggie was having a diabetic episode. His mom called 911. Police cuffed him face down. He slipped into a coma and died. I'm like thanking you, but then I see my son's not moving. No headlines, no outrage, just silence. And we're back. We're back. We're back.
Starting point is 00:19:28 There's a new TikTok debate happening around a phrase called Gen Z stare. Yep. Yep. Millennials are saying the Gen Z stares, the look Gen Zers give you when they're asked a question or faced with a situation they don't know how to respond to blank stare. Yep. Like stare. Yep. Or it does just be like interacting in public. You know, people are like, I opened a door for this Gen Z kid
Starting point is 00:19:54 and they just looked at me and walked in, no, nothing. Didn't even say anything. Right. OK, so it's like your social skills are bad. And we blame you. Yeah. Not us for creating social media. I don't know. I mean, this is, I've saw like in the last week,
Starting point is 00:20:14 there've been like, I think four, like four different articles talking about Gen Z stare. I don't know, like part of me, I remember like one of the most vivid moments I've experienced it would be like at the grocery store and someone was like, the kid bagging the groceries was like, hey, like they didn't just say anything and just looked at me, like waiting for me to say
Starting point is 00:20:36 if I needed a bag and I was like, oh yeah, I'll take paper. And then they're just like, uh-huh and did it. And I didn't think anything of it because as someone who would show up to his a part-time job criminally high, I'm like, yeah, I'd be like, what? Same way. If you're like, this boy's gone mentally. What is he doing?
Starting point is 00:20:55 Like, I don't know, dude. I smoked a blunt in my Honda on the way here. Like, cause I hate this shit. It's a generation of hop heads. Yeah. Yeah. So I don't know if like, I mean, when a lot of people will theorize, it's like, well, the pandemic really did their social skills. And I think the biggest thing is that we,
Starting point is 00:21:10 I even notice this generally with people, we interact so much less now because of technology that I don't know, maybe that those skills get slightly blunted because of the emphasis. A lot of it is on like digital communication, but I don't know. I don't know if it rises to the thing where I'm like, I'm walking around a bunch of Gen Z zombies staring at me all the time. That's what the Z stands for. Yeah. God damn it. I've gotten plenty of a Gen Z stairs from older people as well.
Starting point is 00:21:40 Like, I feel like they're like, Hey, you soil your shorts, son. No. All right. Carry on then. They just know how to use their phones. So their phones are actually better than your phones. The, the elderly are just like, I think I get it. Like, I think I'm getting this.
Starting point is 00:22:00 So you go on Facebook, you like a racist meme, and then you send your friend a fist bump meme. Is that correct? Do I have that right? It just feels it this is deeper under. Yeah. The intergenerational warfare, you know, like whatever. I'm just like, I don't know, man. Life fucking sucks. Yeah. You know, that's it out there. That's another part. I think millennials don't realize, like, we got to grow up in a slightly like in a better time comparatively, like our parents were less.
Starting point is 00:22:32 There was less existential dread all around us. And now it's like inescapable. I don't know. I'm like, I think part of me is like, yeah, I'm able to like when I when I would have like customer facing jobs, it's because like I still felt like I grew up in an era where like, hey, how you doing? Interaction now it's just like, man, what the fuck you need, man. Well, there's interesting stuff about like, I remember, I think I forget if it was like radio lab, but like one of those era of podcasts that like profiled what happened when American companies went to Russia for the first time and like tried to teach them
Starting point is 00:23:11 like customer service, like attitude. Right. And they were like, what the fuck for? Why the fuck would we do that? Like, I think that's driven like that whole idea of just like being engaging and like fake friendly. And, you know, we talked about Zizek talking about how like capitalism, And like that whole idea of just like being engaging and like fake friendly. And you know, we talked about Zizek talking about how like capitalism, like one of the big costs that it requires of you is to sell your soul literally to like fake a subjective
Starting point is 00:23:38 stance on like how much you're excited about work or how good you feel about this customer who's being an asshole to you. And like, that is not natural. And as this whole thing has like kind of collapsed and like the ethos and like the promise of the American dream has like been revealed to be hollow and not real, like, yeah, you're going to get less like friendly, engaging looks from that generation. That's just like, real, like, yeah, you're going to get less like friendly,
Starting point is 00:24:09 engaging looks from that generation that's just like this is like, but you guys know this is bullshit too. Why? Why are you pretending you don't? Yeah. Like when I worked at the laser tag place, my minimum wage job plus tips could still buy me some shit. You know what I mean? Like it still felt like, oh, shit, I'm kind getting like, I felt like I was getting a return on my labor or whatever. Right. Now with the cost of living being so high, all like all of that shit, those are not incentives in the same way that you'd be like, Hey, how you doing?
Starting point is 00:24:36 It just, the, it, as shit becomes realer, I just, I like, I totally get it. I'm like, this is all a fucking joke, right? It's just like a self preservation tactic. Yeah. And also, and also this happens. Yeah. Like Brian pointed out, like people act like awkward people didn't exist before the year 2010. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:56 Brian, the editor, like that's yeah. Every generation has like the thing that is just that people are going to be trying to like find a way to freak out about them because they have to believe that the challenges that they overcame were like special and unique to their generation or whatever. And so, yeah. Dude, stare on man. Fucking stare right through these people. Man freak out a boomer and just fucking don't even, just look right, just thousand yards. It sounds like it's just like a blank stare,
Starting point is 00:25:29 which like if that upsets you, then that is probably about you more than anything. Like they're giving you the neutral mask, which is the, like a thing that's used in art for you to be able to like project whatever you want onto it. So the fact that you're projecting like something onto that reveals more about you. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:51 And I wonder if that bothers older people because seeing sort of this like disaffected, like generation of kids makes you feel a little bit like, damn, do we kind of, of is this is it all fucked up for them? Right is it kind of different than when I was like? Here's my lollipop man. We're going down to go get an egg cream Don't involve eggs and are way less creamy than they should yeah, they're disgusting But they look smiled just drank them through gridded teeth. I'm a soda jerk.
Starting point is 00:26:28 All right. Well, uh, some more things that might be contributing to the millennial stair, uh, uh, a bunch of King, uh, the, the company that makes candy crush, uh, they've seems like a bunch of their staff, um, and plan to replace them with AI tools that that staff helped them build. Yo. Cool. Come the fuck off. That's like some what the fuck that's I don't know is this Shakespearean games of Thrones
Starting point is 00:26:58 Ian shit where they're like yes yes yes and now this weapon will destroy you. Thanks this weapon that you've built for us we We will now kill you with we're now aiming It squarely at you Wow prepares to cut 200 staff Holy shit My god, bro, that's I'm telling you don't let these people act like that's not what they're trying to do It's just like about efficiency. It's a new tool. It's a new tool. It's a new tool. They're sizing you up.
Starting point is 00:27:27 This is pretty dark. So we've talked before about how ICE agents are covering their face with masks. Well, now ICE's lawyers are hiding their identities in open court and not even like giving Alan Smithy pseudonyms. They're just being allowed to withhold their identities, which is how you know you're on the right side of history.
Starting point is 00:27:48 Yeah. I'm basically going to redact myself so there's no need for a redaction in the sort of report that is done on this era of history. And as they're leaving the courtroom, they're wiping for prints. They're wiping their fingerprints off the table in front of them and the doorknob. But yeah, the Intercept just reported that an immigration courtroom judge in New York declined to quote, state the name of the immigration
Starting point is 00:28:12 and customs enforcement attorney pressing to deport asylum seekers, explaining we're not really doing names publicly, which is unprecedented. Like they asked the co-director of the immigration clinic at the University of Texas at Austin about this. And they said, I've never heard of someone in open court not being identified. Part of the court's ethical obligation is transparency, including clear identification of the parties. That is so fucking grim, man.
Starting point is 00:28:41 I mean, like now what? Are court watchers meant to be like, all right, well, now we're going to follow them home and get as much identifying information as possible if they don't do that. Like what the f- There's just like wearing masks in open court. Well, we think it adds a fun, like, you know, Mexican wrestling vibe to the courtroom. Yes, your honor. I am Rorschach, the lawyer, and that's all I'm gonna say. And this is my esteemed colleague, Spider-Man. And we will be, we are the ones, we are the architects of the terrible fucking policy of this place.
Starting point is 00:29:16 I mean, there was a story about how there's a ton of DOJ lawyers who are resigning because like, they can't even keep up with all the lawsuits they're getting hit with for, you know, all the fucking violating of the laws. Platently illegal shit that they're doing. Like, I can't, there's too many lawsuits. I got to go, man, they're not paying me.
Starting point is 00:29:34 Sue me if they can't see my face and know my name. And the judge is just like, yeah, well, I don't know why we got to bring names into this.
