So that would be good. But also, you know what? I should like, you know what? I don't need to, I don't need to, I don't need to do an analysis of an eight-year-old's trauma song. But I will. Gia? She goes on to say. You fucked up.

What did that come from? We're thrilled to be joined in our third seat by one of our favorite guests out of the 2000, thousands that we've had on. Brilliant writer, podcaster, producer who's written for publications like The New York Times,

Yeah. Currently blowing minds. Please welcome back to the show.

It's Molly Lambert. Molly, this is appearance 29 for you. Wow. This is your 29th. Well, we have a doc that it's pretty easy. If I just search Molly Lambert, it goes 29 out of 29 matches. Wow. We got to get me up to 2000.

Yeah. Hell yeah. We'll do another anniversary episode for your 2000th appearance. Yeah. Yeah, I think, yeah, Loftus is still the title holder. Uh, fucking 108 or 82. There was the first month of the pandemic when we were like, we don't know what we're doing, but we know what we're doing.

but we know one person who has a remote recording setup and who is willing to hang out with us every day. And that is Jamie Loftus. Yeah. Shout out to all the guests. It's really about you guys, you know, this show. It's really about the listeners. It's really about you guys. Miles and I suck.

We suck. We suck. We're just the rotting tree stumps in the river that the talent flows around and goes further afield off to do great things. That was actually a big chunk of the comments was just using that exact metaphor. Yeah. They're showing great. Like, you guys are kind of a rotting tree trunk and a river that the show just kind of flows around. Yeah, yeah.

Have you seen the Mississippi River after terrible storm? Molly, how are you doing? I'm good. You know, all things considered. Yeah, ATC. ATSC. Got to add that caveat. That's right.

I think especially in these times. All right. Well, we're thrilled to have you here. We're going to get to know you a little bit. bit better in a moment. First, we're going to tell the listener to a couple of things we're talking about. We're going to talk about ice planning to ruin the Winter Olympics, presumably, like, as a branding thing. Because it's like an ice-based event. They are, I still don't understand, like, why they would possibly be there. Like, it doesn't make any fucking sense, like,

based on what their state admission is, is like at first they were being listed as like security, but isn't their secret service for that? It really does just feel like they were like, this is a great opportunity to get these guys in front of the rest of the world to show them what a bunch of fucking neo-Nazi keystone cops really looks like. So anyways, we're going to talk about that. We're going to talk about Trump's health, which, like,

I feel like the Google trend, on like Trump health, Trump sick, question mark. Blood clot. Surging. Yeah, blood clot. So we'll talk about that. We'll talk about the Melania watch, the new movie. We finally got some reviews in.

We kind of have a better idea of how many people are buying tickets. We're starting to get some word from behind the scenes of it. All very good, very promising stuff. Supervisor Victor sent us a photo. of a Melania popcorn bucket. Yeah. They're doing that. Unfortunately,

it's not her head, like with her jaw unhinged. It's just a very dull tin bucket with a picture, with that one movie poster that they have. A bucket, no less. A bucket no less. Victor did not buy it,

by the way, because he said at these prices, it's basically a steel. No, he did not, he did not buy it. It was from Reddit. we confirmed with him.

That would be so funny if Victor was just a quietly a Malania Trump. It's fine. Look, like he said before we recorded, look, you guys have your opinions. I have mine. And let's just keep it moving. Leave our first lady out of this. All of that, plenty more. But first, Molly, we do like to ask our guest.

What is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are? I mean, honestly, I was just trying to see what was happening with TikTok now. Yeah. Why was the latest? Oh, it's bad. Under new ownership and nothing works. Yeah, it's like scary new terms of service screen pops up. Yeah.

That's like, we own everything you do. Anything you do anywhere belongs to us now. And so I got scared and deleted it. Yeah. Oh, TikTok. Is it under American owner? It's under American ownership. Yeah, billionaire ownership.

One thing about those guys is they like owning everything. Hence them being billionaires. It's ruined. Wasn't there someone, like, one of the owners talking about, like, very proudly how it's going to suppress any kind of, like, criticism of, like, Israel? And now people are saying, like, ice videos aren't showing up or it's, like, really hard to get. And I'm like, oh, right. So it's working on day one exactly as planned, which is like, we need to cut off the information supply to young people. Yeah, but it's also not working because everyone's like, oh, it's glitching out all crazy now.

Because it's literally not working. Yeah. Yeah. And maybe they don't have the good algorithm anymore that made it addictive. Do we have the new one? Like what is going to replace TikTok? Because this feels like this is what, you know, this is what always happens. And no, any time anyway.

No, but I don't know, go back to Red Note. Skylight is one, I think. I hear people talk about. There's like another one upscrolled. I see a lot of people talk about. There's like another one where people like, what's like one that's owned by 10 cents? so we can go back to the feeling of TikTok. And they're trying to get these other apps, but yeah, I mean.

That's Red Note, right? I don't know if it's owned by Tencent, but it's like the Chinese version. Yeah, that, I mean, yeah, I think generally people are, I'm feeding. Yeah, but I think is Tencent banned? Yeah, maybe not, actually. I don't think it is. Or, yeah, I mean, I don't think Red Note is bad. Either way, people aren't happy.

They said one of their latest fuckups was because one of their data centers lost power. Oh, no. Oh, fuck. guys you're doing? Yeah. So you're doing storms? All right. Shout out TikTok.

What the fuck? Shout out billionaires, really. That's the number one force. Really trying to, yeah, turn the spigot off of information for stuff that'll give people independent ideas of what they want. I know. Like, let's not change our behavior. Let's just make it.

Let's just censor the content. Yeah, let's hide our behavior. Like, again, it's like, don't you remember being a kid? That makes you go harder. Right. When you're like, you can't have that. I can't have that. Watch this. Watch this shit. I'm going to ruin my life trying to have that now.

I can't have this thing that you choose to go on, that we need you to choose to go on for it to continue to be valuable. We're just going to ruin it and checkmate. Okay. All right. I don't think that's how that's going to work. I think other people, but that is one thing. Billionaires are always overestimating how much everyone needs them. I'm a job creator.

If I didn't exist, you wouldn't be able to feed your family. And it's like, no, if you didn't exist, someone else would be in your place because your job is actually the easiest one at the company. And they think people are loyal to the brands. They don't know people will just be like, yeah, we'll just go somewhere else. We don't care. Yeah. Remember Snapchat? No.

Nope. Friendster? Nope. Hey, the kids do. What is, Molly, what's something you think is underrated? Underrated, the early morning. the early morning. Now, don't tell me this, because I've never, I've never seen it, but I keep hearing things about it.

Our icon for this week's episode is one of these sick fucks that wakes up at three in the morning. Not that early. Yeah. What are we talking? Yeah, like, you know, 7 a.m. Just, it's nice. It's nice. Okay, standard.

Yeah. I thought you were hoping, I thought you were going to be like, you know, fucking five. No, not at all. Like just like when you wake up at the right time and you're like, oh, it's nice to be up in the morning. Oh, and have enough sleep at that moment too. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You wake up with the sunrise. Yeah, and it's all like fresh outside.

There's not so much traffic you can actually go places. Yeah. The morning is. The morning can be nice. Yeah. And on that note, overrated the very late night. The very late night. Yeah.

Which I consider, by the way, any time before the sun rises. So if those people who are waking up at 3 in the morning to work out, I'm hanging out with Mark Wahlberg a lot lately, guys. Sorry, if that's coming through. But those people are waking up at night, okay? And you can't convince me otherwise. If it's still pitch blackout, you're fucking up. You're doing something.

I agree. Where do you think the late night starts? Where do I think it starts? The late night starts for me. after my bedtime, which is 7 p.m. No, I'd say, like, it's definitely moving forward with getting over. Jack left a show taping in the middle of it because he said it was getting too late. Miles, that was not in the middle of it.

That was after they said it was going to be over. They lied to us. They were like, hey, all right, the guys need to go back and change, and they're going to come out and do one last interview where they just said the last one was one last interview and I was like, doces. And that was about 10, that was about 10.15. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, I'd say like 11.30. Okay, there we go. I was just, when you said wake, do you remember that song Gia Judeis from Real Housewives of New Jersey? He sang that meme. Yeah, exactly. Up in the morning, thinking about so many things. I just wish things would get better.

I'm trying to get rid of them But nothing seems to stay the same When you said waking up in the morning I always have to think of Georgia Wicken up in the movie How old is that person? Eight maybe at the time Yeah she's now like a full grown adult

The kids are so stressed out Yeah yeah I mean Her parents were getting Her father was getting deported to Italy Jesus Yeah That's why she was waking up in the morning Thinking about so many things

So so many things That's the rose from that grew from concrete. Yeah. I think after midnight is what I'm talking about. Yeah, late night for me is after midnight. Because some people,

after midnight, they let it all hang out. You're telling me. That's when we get into trouble. Yep. Yeah, after midnight. I think I've talked about this before, but like there's,

you know, just things you see when you're a kid. Like, I remember watching an episode of cops and like the cop was like, nothing good ever happens after midnight. You see, you see someone out on the road,

they're probably doing something illegal. You can pretty much guarantee it. And so every time I would be like driving after midnight, I'd be like, I'm fucked, I'm fucked. They have plausible reason to pull me over because I'm fucking breaking the law.

That's just as cops are like, that's donut time. Yeah, exactly. You are doing something illegal by ruining donut times. Yeah, that's when the cop morning starts. How dare you? Well, that's, this sounds very responsible.

So you're going to bed at midnight? You're waking up early in the morning? No, I'm not at all. That's the whole thing. I'm staying up late. This over and underrated is for yourself. Yeah. I'm sitting up late fretting about nothing. And then I could be awake in the morning just like, you know, enjoying.

Thinking about a lot of things. Thinking about a lot of things. There are some new roosters in my neighborhood. Oh. They think it's morning. Of course they do. New batch of roosters? Yeah, I don't know where they're.

they are, but they're here. They are waking me up with the call of the dawn. You know what? It's not their fault. They're roosters. Yeah, exactly. I'm the one on a made-up schedule. That's a good point.

Don't they know I was scrolling until 1 a.m. this morning? Yeah, roosters to a neighborhood can really change things. I'll tell you what. I'm pro rooster. I'm truly just like, they're, they've got the right idea. They're crowing at dawn.

I should be also with, I should be with them. My kids wake up so early. The way you said that, it's like a non-bed. Yeah, it's just like hard to stay asleep when like people in your house are like up at like 5.30, 6. You just like hear them. You hear the pitter-patter. They're like, daddy, daddy, daddy.

And you're like, don't you know I'm out here? Waking up in the morning. Think you bad at that song for them. Yeah, and they're like, Dad, what? My understanding is they wake up and they're just like, like food, food, food. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Daddy, would you like some sausage?

There it is what they say to me. I almost said that and then I was like, keep it in. I was just on yesterday's trending episode. I was telling Miles that my first, because vanadium silver's trends was Daddy, would you? No, no, it was trendy got. Oh, trendy got trendered. And I was saying that like I have a vocal stim,

like that's one of my vocal stems is, Daddy, would you like some sausage when I wake up in the morning? especially if I've just heard my kid call me daddy. But then I had to tell them the name of the movie. And I was like, fuck, I shouldn't have need to find a new book. Five-knife Freddie. Yeah, Five-knife Freddie. Yeah, that's what it was.

Yeah. They don't know about fingering yet is why it was confusing. But more in the like law enforcement way. Like that's how he got fingered. Yeah, for the crime. Yeah, for you got caught out by the cops. I don't think they're talking about digital stimulation. Yeah.

Which is the name of my new EDM album. That's pretty good. Yeah. I also thought big fuck face his self, your name for Donald Trump. On yesterday's trending. Oh, yeah. For a good. Big fuck face himself.

Yeah. Big fuck face himself. Yeah. All right. Let's take a quick break. We'll come back and talk about some news. We'll be right back. And we're back.

We're back. And more ice controversy. Apparently, even unpopular elsewhere. Yeah. in the country. I mean, so the Olympics always a nightmare, no matter where they're being held. Yeah, yeah.

But this year, the winter games will be even more thanks to ice because they will reportedly have a security role during the upcoming Milan-Cortina Winter Games. Yeah, yeah. At first, there was, like, conflicting reports, or it's like, they're coming, and they're like, no, they're not. And they're like, okay, maybe they're going to work with local, oh, actually, they're going to be just assigned to the vice president and Marco Rubio,

although they didn't even commit to that part. Don't they have secret service detail? Yeah, yes, they do. They do. But I think this is, I mean, this feels just like very much like an old man who doesn't know how anything works, being like, have them go there and do the thing there. Because there's plenty of actually trained people, I'd imagine, to do that kind of protection. I've been saying, like, I'm waiting for Trump to go Putin and, like, start knocking off his potential successors, like, anybody who threatens his power.

Oh, Josh Hawley? Yeah. Like, wait, what about Josh Hawley? Josh Holly, he's currently in the fucking hot seat with Trump because he's like, this fucker's going to run in 2028, isn't he? Yeah. He better not. But, like, J.D. Vance and Marco Rubio are the two people that everyone's like, which one will be Donald Trump's successor? And for him to give them the most incompetent band of idiots as their security traveling around the world is, I feel like, whether he knows it or not, I feel like that's where that's coming from.

Yeah. And I think it could just be honestly, just the optics of saying, I'm sending ice abroad. That's what I was going to say is the Olympics. Olympians are just a big fash. Right. And then considering, yeah, considering that we have. the Summer Olympics coming up in L.A., they're going to be like, this is just the set to be like, yeah, bro, fucking ice can be anywhere. I think that's really all. It's just, it's just terrorism.

Yeah, it's just terrorism. They're just being like, hey, we can, we can scare you wherever we go. Yeah, exactly. And then, God, the fucking, I feel bad for the athletes because they have the unfortunate distinction of having to wear USA things on their body as they compete. They're going to get booed to holy fucking hell. I can only imagine what. the response. Oh, yeah. Yeah, but then they're going to just like put the, put the fake cheers on the broadcast.

Yeah. I think they're saying, let's go Brandon. And you're like, what? They're saying, fuck USA. It,

yeah, it doesn't make, it's just like straight up admitting ICE is the American SS now. Yeah, it's all, it's all the 1936 Olympics playbook. It's like show of power to the world.

Right. And then be like, and guess what? Y'all are coming to our house where they do have power. powers. I feel like if they fuck the World Cup up enough, assuming people actually participate on the World Cup, if they fuck it up

enough, like people are going to boycott the I know. I was like, as a massive soccer fan, I'm like, get it away from the U.S. as soon as possible. Like, this is a fucking disgrace. But I think, I think Coca-Cola has put too much money into this, I'm afraid. They should have it in space.

Yeah, one, okay. I'm talking about a space jam. Yeah, oh. Everybody get up. Yeah. Talking about the space jam. Hold on. Okay. Come on a slam.

Okay. Welcome to the jam. Everybody get up. It's down the slam down. We got a real jam going down. Welcome to the space jam. It's your name. It's your name.

That's the same jam. All right. That's Quad City DJs. That's Quad City. Quarcity DJs. Come on, Jack. And then tag team did the Adams family. The Adam family.

There it is. Yep. That shit was crazy that they were just like, we're just going to put the word of the title of the movie in between our old song. That's how pop and whoop. There it is. There it is good enough that you can pull that off. I remember seeing it at the end of the movie and being like,

Woon, the Adams family. There it is. And I was like, that's a fucking, how did they reinvent the wheel? But they did. So anyway, this is, this is an unpopular. Even though Italy is pretty fascistic these days with Maloney, this is unpopular. They're pointing out that ICE is a, quote, militia that kills. And questioning, can't we just say no to Trump for once?

That's the other part. Yeah, I would love to see it. Maloney is also responsible. for enacting barbaric and inhumane immigration policies within Italy, including the plan to send migrants to their new detention center in Albania, which has been blasted by human rights groups and called the Italian Guantanamo by her opponents, which is just cool to see, like, the way that we refer to the Nazis for precedent when it comes to our fascist governments. Other governments refer to us in the present tense for their example of the worst possible. They're like, ill Guantanamo. Yeah. But, yeah, I think you're right that there's going to be, I mean, this is new levels of villainy for the United States.

Yeah. Like, I've been kind of looking out for it in the Australian Open, the tennis tournament that's happening right now. And, like, American athletes aren't getting ruthlessly booed. That feels more an individual, though, you know, versus representing the United States of America on team U.S. say, I think. Right. Like you might, you're already a fan of Cocoa golf, so you're not going to like boo Cocoa golf, but like, I don't know. Yeah. It definitely seems like that, like there was a American who's like number four in the world playing an unranked Chinese player and the crowd was definitely behind the unranked player. Like, you know, between, between the two. I feel like

well, you're going to go against America at this point. Yeah. And deservedly so. Well, the brand is fucking cursed. So, yeah, I don't know what else we can expect right now until... Blood clot! Speaking of which does seem like there's a lot of... A lot of searching going on for people trying to find out, like, hey, when... When's this can be over? And passively can be rid of a terrible scab on our society?

Yes. So New York Magazine did an article called... a good faith effort to find out what's going on with the president's health or something along those lines. And it contains a couple of interesting anecdotes. One is that he was watching Jimmy Carter's funeral on TV. And he told AIDS. I'm dead.

Look at me. Look, there I am. I told AIDS that's going to be me in about 10 years. Oh my God. He admitted. Yeah, 10 years. Maybe 10 years. That's got to be wild.

It's like, it's going to be 10 years even? Yeah. Well, sure, I don't know. We don't know what the fuck's going on with them, but all points, all things point to not good. Yeah. This other part. Yeah, this quote is fun too. He was talking about his father's mental decline in old age.

And he's, this is just during this interview, quote, he had one problem at a certain age, about 86, 87. He started getting, what do they call it? Trump said. during the interview in the Oval Office, pointing to his forehead and looking toward White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt for help recalling the world word. Alzheimer's. Leavitt interjected before the president quickly. What do they call it? And then points it in his forehead.

Alzheimer's, sir. Where is the thinky thing don't go so good? This is a crazy. So he goes, Leavitt interjected before the president quickly reassured, well, I don't have it. When asked whether the condition concerns him, given his family history, Trump replied, no, I don't think about it. Oh, you know why? Because whatever it is, my attitude is whatever. Uh-oh.

That's very rage a of you, Mr. President. No, I don't think about it at all. You know why? My attitude is whatever. My attitude is whatever. Because whatever it is, my attitude is whatever, dog. Whatever it is, my attitude is whatever. Oh, I'm ruining the country dog?

Whatever to that, bro. Yeah. Whatever is. Whatever to everything. My attitude is whatever. Whatever to my doctor saying I need all these meds, bro. Like whatever to that. You know what I mean?

That's so sick, dude. Another great anecdote is the journalist is invited to meet with Trump. And he's sitting there with two men standing behind him. And Trump is like, just so, you know, I don't know these guys. They're not my friends. They're just great doctors who are here to tell you off the cuff about my perfect health. And both the doctors are holding pieces of paper that say talking points on them, like literally the holding. Yep.

And then at one point he's like, real quick, is my health perfect? Like he's throwing a ball at someone and yelling fast. And the doctor's like, your health is excellent, sir. And he's like, see, can we stop talking about this? Is it perfect? Yes. Is it perfect? Your health is excellent, sir.

So he's even downgrading. He's even being like, I want to fucking call it. It's excellent. Also, you should lose your license for. saying that I love. Yeah. They also have a nice little summary of what is giving the people hope? People who are using this as opium.

So in recent months, Trump has been caught seeming to fall asleep during public events. His right hand is constantly bruised and often bandaged. In July, his ankle swelled up like the Michelin Man, the symptom has doctor said of chronic venous insufficiency, a common circulatory condition. In August, when Trump took a break from public appearances for a few days, this has more to do with everybody's hunger. Trump is dead began trending on social media. Just disappeared for a second from the public eye.

And people were like, he dead? Made headlines at a 9-11 memorial event because the right side of his face appeared droopy, which it certainly did. Oh, yeah. In October, he went to Walter Reed and received what he said was an MRI. And when asked why, he suspiciously couldn't recall which part of his body had been imaged. New Year's Eve spotted apparently limping into a blind. Black Thai Party at Marlago, January. His mental fitness was called into question

when he demanded control of Greenland because he hadn't been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, which... How are they spinning that on the right? I haven't really... Oh, they got to give him the Nobel Peace Prize. No, they kept saying that... They're like, dude, there's actually ice in Greenland.

So he was talking about the ice land that is Greenland, okay? Oh. So that's what it was. Land of ice. No, it's like really their back's sort of the wall here. Like, they're going to have to start justifying like why, you know, whatever the next dumb fucking thing. I mean, they're always going to do it.

But yeah, they don't have much good. Like, they used to be like, he's such a mercurial speaker. He goes off the cuff. They're trying to be like, he said Iceland because there's some ice in Greenland. So that's okay. Okay. That's fun. Have you seen it there is basically an ice land?

Have you seen D2 Mighty Ducks, the sequel? He's being poetic. Yeah, Jesus. So, yeah. I mean, the health. He also showed up to Davos with a new bruise on his left hand. His whole argument the whole time has been, my right hand gets bruised because I'm shaking so many damn hands.

That's how fucking popular I am. I'm just getting fucking high fives as I walk down the street. Whose hands is he shaking that they're like squeezing the life out of it, too? He's, that's how excited they are to see him. So I don't know if you know, Molly, but he constantly has. generals, big, beefy generals with arms like Christmas hams coming up to him with tears in their eyes and saying, sir, and shaking his hands so hard because they can't stop. And then he just keeps talking about his perfect health at rallies and then losing track of what

he was losing his train of thought. And then the conspiracy theorists, I didn't realize that a lot of people are like when Queen Elizabeth started showing up with Bruce's owner, hands. It was like a matter of days before she died. So it's, the watch is on. The watch is on. American politicians with weird hands seem to keep going. Like Mitch McConnell, too, had fucking wacky hands for a second. And it was like, here we go, Grim Reaper. Here we go. And now he's just. A lot of these people might already be dead for all we know. And I knew Molly was going to have a fire take on this. Dave, a Dave-esque scenario. Are we talking here? Yeah, I think, I think the dead walk of.

among us and rule. For sure. You think necromancy or a Dave? What are we talking about? 28 years later, the Bone Temple situation. I heard it's really good. The Bone Temple. People have said that's really good.

The place or the movie? Both. Yeah. The Bone Temple is lovely. This time of year. There's Victor in the chat. He said, he put two real. He said really, really good.

He said, uh, brother, let me correct you there. Yeah, it's not really good. It's really, really good. Yeah, Victor is our Bone Temple source, and he did say it was great. Dude, number one man on the Bone Temple. Number one, Bon Temple. Or, you know, or Bon Tonnes, you know, the French phrase. Léééé Lesé Lesé le Bon Tonel roulet.

Léééééééle de Bon Temple roulet. Yeah, the Bone Temple is what Miles calls his house. Yeah, exactly, during Marty Gras. During one part of the thing, this is only from shaking hands, he said, now rubbing his left thumb over the back of his right hand. People also notice that he's always covering up the back of his hand. That's something that you can look out for. A claim he would repeat to other journalists, Trump turned to the doctor, Captain Sean Barbarrella, Barbabella, his lead physician.

And Colonel James Jones, a physician's assistant with a PhD in health science. Can you verify that? He said? Absolutely. So it's just he's surrounded. It is the thing that we've seen that we've talked about on a couple icon episodes now. But, you know, when you're surrounded by nothing, but yes, man. Ensconsed, is that the word?

Yes. Inside, like, just a bone temple of people who are just like, yes, sir, you're the best, sir. Everything you say is great, sir. And just, like, giving in to every one of your whims, it can be bad for your health, especially if some of those people are doctors who are just, like, trying to keep you going to keep the money train rolling. I always got those crazy doctors, too. What's that? Yeah.

Like the presidential doctors? Yeah. Yeah. Right. The guy who like shot. Dr. Ronnie. Yeah.

And like that guy who shot up Kennedy full of beans every day. Yeah. Oh, man. The, the vitamin shots that people used to be getting in the 50s and 60s are just. They're keeping them going. Yeah. It's just speed.

It's just speed injections. Goes with my theory. Everybody in charge is dead. Keeping them alive. Yeah. They have to resuscitate Trump every morning, like the Pope Fiction. Yeah, they're giving him the adrenachrome.

Yeah. Trump's in Iowa right now because he's trying to pivot to like affordability. And he was about to take the stage and they were playing macho man. And this, this congresswoman, Marionette Miller Meeks was like, oh, they're playing mach. I'm just playing this because they're talking about how how macho it is to listen to macho man. It's just so funny. You know, they're playing this song, macho man. Every hardworking woman deserves a macho man. and I see a whole lot of them all around me.

But the number one macho man you're going to hear from in a little while. Okay. Anyway, so that's what he's up to right now. They're like, he's a macho man, guys. It is so funny. He loves the village people. I know. Loves the village people, loves theater.

Well, he loves, it's like he's got the taste of either a gay man of a certain age or somebody from New York in the 80s. Right. And he might be both. A, put it in those. People in Broadway. Yeah.

Mm-hmm. You're going to hear from the number one macho man. That's fucking great. It's probably like contractually written into her being able to open for him that she called not. Oh, yeah. All right. Well, we're going to take a quick break. And then we're going to talk about a very satisfied lady.

The wife of the number one macho man, Melania Trump, and her upcoming biopic. documentary work of modern America propaganda. We'll be right back. And we're back. We're back. And we're on this podcast. We're on Melania watch. The movie in particular. Can't wait. I mean, they're saying it's the next avatar. They really are treating it like, I mean, the marketing campaign

is blockbuster levels. You can't go anywhere in L.A. without seeing, and usually those campaigns are primarily all over the place to show the celebrities who are in the movies that they're like being advertised that they're being taken care of by the marketing people. But here they're just like, we're going to spend as much money as it takes to make sure nobody is unaware that this movie is coming out.

He's even spamming his like Trump social, a truth social account with ads for it because they're really trying to get the word out. But as it stands, And it's projected to make $1 million in its opening weekend at best. Maybe. That's what they think right now. Other people are like, you could make five, which is pretty good for a documentary.

But then you remember that it costs Jeff Bezos $75 million to humiliate himself and throat the Maga boot to buy this and put it on. 28 million actually goes to Melania. I found that out. So of the 40, 28A. We love it. The sum of a nice objective documentary is when you're paying the subject, $28 million.

Yeah, exactly. It's about the truth, man. It's about getting the message out. And sometimes, you know, filmmakers will, like, rely on the foreign box office to boost sales. But if the UK is any indication right now, shit's fucked. This is from The Guardian in the UK. It's a UK ticket sales from Milania are so far, quote, soft. According to Tim Richards, the chief executive of view, one of the country's biggest cinema operators.

Just one ticket has been sold for the first screening on Friday at its flagship Islington branch in London, while two have been booked for six. At the time of publication, all seats remained available for the 28 screenings of Melania at the Blackburn, Castleford, and Hamilton branches. The picture was slightly rosier

at the Cina World in Wandsworth, which had sold four tickets. So four tickets total? Yeah. Yeah. What the fuck? Well, most people, soft is kind of an understatement,

wouldn't you say? Yeah, maybe they don't want to invite the ire of the regime or something, but I think a lot of the sort of it was written because it's from the guardian talking about like the perception in the UK where most people are like, why the fuck would we want to see this is what most people are saying? Why would anybody in England care? Yeah. They're like, what? No, get this shit out of here. We've got a lot going on right now with Victoria Beckham and her family. Yeah, exactly. And was it inappropriate? What was the inappropriate dancing, which we did find out kind of. The wedding DJ spoke up and just said it was the timing of the dance. was wrong. It's not that she was throwing it back or something. And then they gave Victoria Beckham a number one single because the English are undefeated.

He is going to have to explain this to me. We're not going to get to the city. He'll come to another. Did you guys talk about this on the episode? I missed last last week? You definitely talked about Victoria Beckham and the Brooklyn Beckham family fallout. Bexit. Beck's it. Yeah. Beck's it. There you go, Jack. Where the fuck were you, man? I've just seen headlines. I don't understand.

what's happening. It's just like one of the kids is like mad at the family. It's the usual shit. The son, their eldest son is like, man, my family's so fucking weird and fake. Like everything's about the brand. Like we're not people also. They hate my wife. But then other people like, I don't know. Her wife's, his wife sucks too. But he had like a list of grievances. And one of them was like, Victoria was going to make his wife's wedding dress. And then at the zero hour we're like reneged. And it was like, actually, I can't. You're on your own. And then before the first dance between the couple, Victoria like, basically was like,

no, I'm dancing with my son as the first dance. And he was like, this was humiliating mother. That is weird. Yeah. Yeah, but also his wife, her family are evil billionaires. Oh,

good. Yeah. It's, you know, it's just a mess. We're rooting for Victoria because she's a spice girl. Oh, yeah.

Love Victoria. She came off pretty, pretty cool in that documentary. The day, Victoria. And she goes, like, pointing. And,

but don't forget that one leg. Yeah. Yeah. That was like bent to the side. Oh, I'm glad that you guys knew that when I said that documentary, I was talking about Spice World. Spice World, yeah.

Yeah. That's crazy when the aliens, when the aliens show up, dude. It's my favorite part of Spice World. That's when I first became interested in UFOs. Yeah. Here we are. I believe that movie is famously not on streaming for some reason.

Yeah. Oh, really? I mean, there is some. Yeah, I don't know. Complex music movie rights is what they say. Yeah. But you can, you can buy or rent it.

Interesting. You can own 300 copies of it. Nobody can stop you. Yeah, exactly, exactly. I feel like it's one of those ones. I feel like I saw it like 10 years ago. I was like, oh, this age like fucking feta cheese in the desert. Yeah.

That's funny. By the way, super producer Victor, who again, as we've mentioned, he said, hey, what I believe is none of your business. But he happens to be aware. sorry, I'm not going to keep doing this. Victor looked up for us, the closest three regal theaters near him, and there has been

a total of 10 tickets sold. Yeah. That's a lot. 10 people in the greater Los Angeles area. Yeah, can you name one person you know who would see Melania? No, I can't. Even as a goof?

I know one of my friends' moms would probably go. She's lost the plot. Because like her book, came out and was a bestseller. But they probably just bought it. Yeah, they just bought those. But can't they just do that with the movie also?

Like, doesn't that feel like exactly what they're going to do? Yeah, we're going to make bots go see it. Yeah. Like Sound of Freedom or whatever. They did that's the same thing. Those people just bought a bunch of tickets and were like, hey, come on down and subject yourself to the box. A lot of people really interested.

Or like the Drake sports gambling streams scandal. Let's see. At the Americana brand, the AMC there has six tickets sold for the first showing. Okay. So there's some, there's some heat on this one. Let's see. Citywalk. Citywalk.

Ooh, there's a nine, seven. Seven. God, damn. That's citywalk. Some of these people are just big Brett Ratner fans. Yeah, yeah. It's probably Brett Ratner. Like, honestly, when you go see a movie on opening day, you're somewhat likely to have, like,

You'll watch the movie and then during the credits, like people will start cheering when like a producer's name comes up because they are family and friends. I've been a city walk and people have like stood up in the audience to let everyone know they are in the movie. Oh, wow. That's bold and deserves our attention. Were people pretty happy with working on Melania, Miles? No, no, I forgot about to. The Brett Ratner of it all seems to be like one of the huge sticking points. First of all, I think two thirds of the crew didn't want to be credited because they're like, yeah, dude, I don't even.

Yeah. It's a fucking paycheck, man. I don't want to be anyone thinking I like this or agree with this, but it's on our generation's triumph of the will. Yeah, right. And the crew is now coming out. They were like in Rolling Stone saying how like Brett Ratner, they're like, it just suck to work with accused sex crim and Epstein file guy, Brett Ratner. And there's like every, there's a few anecdotes like, One was like, he's just a piece of shit who doesn't care about anyone.

Like one crew member was like drinking a cup of coffee and put it down. And Radner just came up and threw a piece of gum that he was chewing in it and just kept it moving, like as if that were a garbage can. And then like the hours were like really grueling. And like the crew wouldn't have a meal, but he would go to a part of the set where no one could have food. And suddenly like he's having like this big takeout meal in front of the crew while they're like, we're still shooting because you said we can't even have a meal right now. And he's like, like, they were describing as like he's like, he's like, he's like, we're like, he's like, he's like, we're just. licking his fingers. They were like either he's the biggest dickhead or he's so unaware that he's the biggest

dickhead. Either way, the biggest dickhead according to the crew. So, yeah, you hate to see it. Shocking. Shocking.

Anyway, a little insight into my life. Let's see, work in media. Like, there's just a clip of Victor Wenbenyama, French, king out here just giving his take on ice french kissing someone french kissing popovich um no and just being very just he's a very intelligent guy and he's like man guys whatever it's like this is absolutely abysmal what's happening in this country like killing people what the fuck's going on and you're like man this guys this guy is great this wembignama guy um so really not much of a amazing clip but just something i saw and i was like man there's i like victor wembenyama so that's

yeah yeah uh terries halber and tweeted Alex Peretti was murdered the day that Alex Prerty was murdered. Did you see what Anthony Edwards said? He was kind of like

whatever the people of Minneapolis are on, I'm on that. There you go. Which was a little bit like Anthony. Articulate a take. Don't just, I mean, I love that you, because he was like,

I love the people of Minneapolis. So whatever they're with, I'm with it. And I'm like, okay, what if they were with, what if they were with the Kittlings? Would you still have that take? But anyway,

Miles, is there a song that you think that people might enjoy it? Yeah, this is a track from Krissa Sparkles that came out in June. And it's called Fuck Ice. And I heard it recently in a clip of people on the street.

And it's just got a catchy dance beat. And it's like, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck. Ice, Ice, Ice, Ice, Ice. And just just a good, just a good time. I feel like the time is, it's really now for people to come out with their fuck ice anthems. So you know, this is Fuck Ice by Krista Sparkles. It gave me a laugh. So check it out.
