My name is Jack O'Brien, a.k.a. O'Brien, take a look at the Zite. It's a lot like poo. I need someone to guide me the whole path through. That is courtesy of Chrissy. I'm a Gucci man, and I'm thrilled to be joined, as always, by my co-host, Mr. Miles Gray. I want a daily podcast. I want to feel the heat from the hot takes.

Yeah, I want the daily psychos with somebody named Miles G. Okay, I'm dancing with somebody like Whitney Houston. Somebody who, Somebody who. What was your tune? Also, that was from Soltis Hanna. Mine was supposed to be Old Man by Neil Young. Oh. Hell yeah.

Yeah. Like I said, I'll need the crutch of background music. Everybody could tell what I was singing by me hitting every note. Well, we are thrilled to be joined in our third seat by one of the very faces on Mount Lightmore. He is Mr. Billy Wayne Davis. Hey, guys.

Hi. It's Billy Wayday. Happy Wayday, everyone. Old man. Old man, take a look at my life. What's that watch you got on? It looks fancy. I don't know if it is. Or it looks like it does a lot.

It gives you a lot of information. Is there a barometric pressure reading on that? I think it's supposed to give me a lot of information. But I don't know how to take any of it in. Diving watch? No, I don't think it does. Nope. Got it wet this weekend?

It has a compass. I know how to use that. And then it switches time zones pretty easy. That's pretty cool. And then when I light it up on stage, I can see it very quickly. Oh, I thought you had like a bit involved. Oh, yeah. No.

Like you write 8008 on it and it says boobs. 7734206, go to hell. Yeah. Hey, we're giving away free material here. This is all hacked shit the Russians got us. Just mad nerds. Math nerds. Look at these nerds, dude.

Yeah, I was a math major, as you can tell. As you can tell. Look at that, boobs. Or boob. Up to you. Blah-dow. I don't have a calculator. Fair.

Fair. Well, we are going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First, we're going to tell our listeners a couple of things we are talking about. We're going to talk about some coming attractions that have the zeitgeist zeitgushing, ladies and gents. We are going to talk the LAPD infiltrating left-wing groups. Not so much right-wing groups. Huh. Some economic warning signs

according to Elizabeth Warren. Some Mueller time 2.0. Looking ahead at that. And Wilbur Ross's general demeanor in meetings. Very energetic. It involves

him not just falling asleep in meetings but drooling, waking up and wiping the drool off his face with his tie. That's not me saying that. That's people who work for him. That's power. That is a power move. What are you guys talking about? Is there any more Entenmanns?

I agree it is a power move to pretend you're sleeping during someone's presentation. Snore really loudly, but to actually fall asleep. That's a villain, man. But how fucked up that is. We're like, you know he's faking it, right? Watch him. He'll open his eyes to make sure. They see?

No? Fuck. We're going to talk about Disney Airlines. They see? No? Fuck. We're going to talk about Disney Airlines, which is something that might happen, as well as the Lion King, which just blew up the box office, boff-o-b-o, over the weekend. We're going to talk about some of the messages it sends and some of the messages sent by Disney films in general. Sex. Sex.

The costumes in The Cloud. New Lion King are amazing. Are incredible. They're so cool. And then like Cats comes out and they're like, look what we did. Disney's like, have you seen our costumes? Have you seen ours?

Yeah, the costumes are really good. And Andy Serkis is acting really good. Donald Glover. Yeah. He put on a lot of weight for that role. He's way more impressive than we give him credit for. I know. And we give him a lot of credit.

We give him so much credit. But, but first Billy, what is something from your search history that is revealing about who you are? I'm searching for a 2009 hybrid escape uh hybrid battery i don't want a new one because that was that'll be this worth as much as the truck is but i do want like a refurbished one for like a couple years because i think if i can get a couple

more years out of the thing it'll be i really got how hard and then way more than its money worth out of it. They're not hard to get. They're like two grand though for a brand new one. And that's about

what the truth. But you've been looking at maybe like the junkyard and maybe has I'm going to go around to a junkyard.

Yeah, that's probably that's that's that's the move that seems sometimes you go junk in man. No,

I don't mind junk. I love it. I love to go to antique stores and stuff like that. So it's just another level of that. And then you get to haggle.

You got any leads? Yeah, there's a couple. I almost got one out of Wisconsin on eBay. Yo, I bet you Zeitgang will fucking come through. That's why I said it here. I'll be honest. That's why. Because it's smart people.

I've got plumbing advice, fucking homeowner's insurance advice. This is the hive mind. Zeitgang. If you know where to locate a battery for a hybrid Ford Escape. I want to spend like $500 or $600. Boom. Hit them up. That's like the investment I'm trying to make.

If you put Billy Wayne together with that battery, we'll put you on Mount Zeitmore, the Zeitgang edition. Yeah. But do not steal it from your neighbor's car this time, guys. Yeah, yeah. And no, we don't need any catalytic converters. We don't need any more catalytic converters. Just point me in a direction and let me know what is

a rip-off and what's not. I think I just need more information because every look, it's all just different enough that you're like, it all seems a little shady if I didn't know what I was doing. Right. Well, see, that's good, though, too, that you're sort of like, wait, the most bang for my money, more for my bizzuck, is just to get this new battery in rather than I think

most people would be so disheartened. They'd be like, all right, here we go. New car now. No, it's driven my wife a little crazy how long I've taken to do this. Oh, shit. Okay, so we're in. Yeah. It's overtime right now.

Well, I've been on the road enough right to be able to like i can excuse it because it's not every day i need it right right but i've inconvenienced her a couple more times than i should have to where like when she gives me shit i'm like that's fair it's totally fair billy what you got to do is you got to value your time by the hour how much am i worth hourly yes well that's yes that's what i'm doing like well and I don't go on the road for a little bit the next month or so, so it's like, oh, I've got to take care of this quick. All right, so is that getting help out? Yeah.

What is something you think is overrated? Cable news. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Actually, just cable in general. Let's just go cable. Cable, like the collected packaging of cable channels? Cable television is overrated.

What about it? What about it? It's how they package it and sell it and how they've created a monopoly. I think it's overrated because Hulu and some of these other streaming things have really shown a light on. Because we have so many options. In the beginning, cable made sense. Right. Because it was just these channels. Hulu and some of these other streaming things have really shone a light on. Because we have so many options. In the beginning, cable made sense. Right. Because it was like just these channels.

Now we can watch anything. Yeah, it's too much. So now streaming, boom, right there. Yeah. I've watched sports on Hulu Live. Oh, wow. It's changed the whole thing. I don't have cable.

Yeah. Like even your regional things you want to see? You can find it. Because you can get everything, right? Mm-hmm. Damn. Yeah. I suggest it.

So it's a good product? I have not done my – It's a good product. What's the introductory rate on that? I don't know. Oh, Hulu is advertising with us right now. This is not good. We should not be doing this.

So just cord cutting in general, sports was always the argument against it but it seems like that's that's gone now yeah well if anything cable companies should just wisen up and just put everything like on the internet basically stream everything because then you don't need to wait for somebody to pull up to your house and install cable and then like dance around like do they do y'all still do black boxes or magic cards and right in the direct tv yeah my one friend had a small pc tower that he would run off of uh direct tv to get any channel he wanted and for like 50 bucks he would hook you up with it too he's like i just need a power pc man that's awesome get this thing fucking every channel that's a good friend I do wonder I do wonder

Well I do have fiber now I got AT&T to come to the house And do fiber And that changed everything Oh really Yeah that fiber Oh cause now you have like wifi Or

Yeah With the speed of it Like in house streaming Like there's not There's It never stops Ugh It's crazy

Just open the fountains of information I was paying Now I pay less For better cable For better internet Yeah I'm stuck I don't work for any of information. I was paying. Now I pay less for better cable, for better internet. Yeah. I'm stuck. I don't work for any of these companies.

I'm stuck. It's just a fact. Yeah, well, because in LA, you only have two options usually. It's like, do you want Spectrum or do you want AT&T? Right. Yeah. And then if you're lucky, you might have Fiber or you might have Fios or something. That's what I'm getting at.

But yeah, but they don't have Fiber lines everywhere. Oh, yeah. In their service area. And I remember the old spot i moved to there was people in like in like the trees i thought someone some fucking somebody oh when they came yes and i was like i'm like hey what's he doing at&t man we're putting in a fiber line in a couple months i'm like fiber fiber fiber that's how i found out about it yes because i was suspicious too i was like what do you are you guys doing? Yeah, exactly.

Peeping Tom's. Which could be a great way to just disarm suspicious people. Like, we're putting in a fiber line. You're like, oh, great. Okay, do whatever you got to do. Right. If you need to walk on anybody's property, just put like a gas person's shirt on and walk in a hurry.

Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. With purpose. I never stop them. Purpose will do a whole lot for you. All right. What's something you think is underrated?

Underrated? America. Hell yeah, man. Fuck yeah. Yeah. I don't mean that like in a rah-rah way. I mean like I go see it a lot. Yeah.

It's pretty dope. Yeah. I was in Texas this weekend, and the thought kept occurring to me that this is like going abroad without needing a passport. Oh, without a doubt. Texas is a complete other country, totally different culture. Like the landscape, just like the space between things is different. The space between.

Yeah. I mean, I was thinking about DMV the whole time. Hell yeah. But yeah, I went to a uh two hours outside of san antonio and they had like 180 acres and he was like yeah we only have 180 acres that's small man yeah most families around here they have like a hundred thousand acres or so it's just insane amounts of space they measure it in like i forget the way like rhode islands? That's where I was at this weekend. Yeah, it was one of the jokes. I was like,

your Capitol building is insanely large in comparison to the size of your state. I gotta preach that. Takes up a quarter of the state. Is it so you could see the whole state from the top of it? And they're like, hey,

our state is small! Give him our money! Give him our money! That's how comedy works. Where else did you see, though, that got you thinking, damn, man? I was in New York City for four or five days. Underrated.

That's another thing I looked up. You want to do a Google search? I looked up Jeffrey Epstein's New York residence address. Oh, yeah. Because I went and saw it. Oh, did you? Yeah.

Like, I like to go see where it, because it becomes more real when I can actually see, like, what was, like, oh, this is a real place where this dude was doing this terrible stuff. Right. Because, you know, it becomes deece, you know. Mystified. Yeah. Yeah, you know, it becomes deece. You know. Mystified. Yeah. Yeah, less abstract. But it's also, you know, they also make it seem like it's this crazy place, but it's

not any crazier than any of the other crazy fucking mansions around Central Park there. Right. They all look fucking insane. Is it just because they had that designation that it's like the most expensive? Right. Or whatever. And I think it does go a little pretty deeper and it's bigger than the rest because the rest of the stuff around there is like how it's like apartment buildings and this is just like one yeah home which is crazy yeah

everything around there is insane yeah so well well after this yeah uh billy wayne and i are gonna go to homeby hills to check check out where OJ used to live. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Holmby Hills. Over, and they tour his house down. Yeah, yeah, but we'll go and just kind of take it in. Yeah, and then you can, the Brentwood apartment building. Yep.

You can still go by there. I think they have actual tours of that. I'm sure I was going to say, like, someone's making money off that. Like the macabre Hollywood thing. Like, this is where this- We'd walk a block from here. You'd get on a tour that could probably take you there. Exactly.

Very specific tours. This is the hotbed of all the shittiest tours. Do you want celebrity murders or musician tragic deaths? Those are two different tours. Oh, yeah. Different directions. Yeah. But I used to live right around there and, there and found out during all the 25th year anniversary OJ hoopla that was happening.

I would kind of put together the part where he peels out from the murder and people see him driving on the wrong side of the street or in his white Bronco and he's flying and he tells someone to fuck off or something. That's one of the eyewitness accounts. It was this intersection that I had always driven through to get to work. It's the O.J. Simpson fuck you intersection. Right, it's O.J. Simpson. But it's just like a nondescript intersection.

He was bad at murder. I mean, that's debatable if we're going to be honest about it. I mean, good at murder, bad at... He just was not subtle, it didn't seem like. To this day, not very subtle. To this day. No, he's not subtle at it. No.

Don't wait. I haven't checked in on his Twitter. I want to see what his political takes are. He said, hey, we can talk about anything on here. Oh. Hot damn. And finally, what is a myth myth what's something people think is true you know to be false uh doritos are of this world that's a myth yes they landed here on an

asteroid it's not they're not real yeah you like doritos i do that's why i can't eat like there's like the perfect amount. Perfect amount, yeah. Could you eat a family-sized bag? Without a doubt. And some good queso or something like that. Oh, fuck. You double up?

Come on, man. Yo, I like that. Come on, man. You're looking- If we're going to sin, I just don't want to- Fully dive in. Yeah. We're not just going to have oral sex.

Right. Let's do this. Let's breach the castle walls. Yeah, we're not just going to have oral sex. Right. Let's do this. Let's breach the castle walls. Nacho cheese Doritos with Green Mountain Gringo salsa is one of my favorite combos.

What's Green Mountain Gringo salsa? Medium. It's just a salsa that I really like. Do they sell it here? Yeah. That's in LA? Like Ralph's. Yeah. Oh, shit.

It's just one of my favorite salsas. Does it say Gringo on it? Yeah. Awesome. At least they know. It's awesome. It puts off anyone who wants salsa. They're like, Gringo, mm gringo on it? Yeah. Awesome. At least they know. It's awesome. It puts off anyone who wants salsa. They're like, gringo, mm-mm, we don't want that.

I'll take it. Give it to me. There was actually, on that food blog, The Takeout, they posited the question to their staff, is it nacho cheese or Cool Ranch, the Superior Dorito? I gotta go with Nacho Cheese. And they were deadlocked. Nacho Cheese.

Because I think Cool Ranch gives you such a weird feeling in your mouth, like tasting your mouth afterwards. The zing? Yeah. That's what we call the zing, Jack. Right. The zing ends up at maybe three minutes after you've eaten it, making it feel like you've sucked on a battery or something.

Yeah, your forehead. To me, the proper way to eat the Cool Ranch is in the sandwich itself. Yeah, that's true. Sandwich accessory? Well, like inside the sandwich. Accent. Yeah, because like you said, it's too much. What kind of sandwich with Cool Ranch Doritos?

Fucking anything. Suburban. Anything you'd put ranch on, bro. Yeah, anything you would eat it with, like any kind of sandwich you would eat it with, you'd just put it in there. Yeah, you know, it's funny. I'm always nacho cheese, but then I have Cool Ranch and I go, you know what? This one isn't bad too.

That's like chocolate and vanilla. Yeah. You need vanilla. You kind of need vanilla to be yang. Every now and then you need chocolate and you're like, oh shit. Vanilla. Hey. Especially vanilla bean.

Hey. Oh, vanilla bean. Hey. All right. Come on now. A new show. Snack Daddy's. That reminds me of when my wife did this bit because she was because i like vanilla and she's

like you're like a psychopath like why you just eat the vanilla and she was like that's pretty fair i'm gonna do on stage i was like i wouldn't because i think i'm pretty normal right and she did it and it bombs i was like i think there's a reason it's one of the popular flavors right right yeah she was like i didn't think i didn't tell her that. I was like, this is gonna be funny. You're like, could you just wait to do that until I'm around? So funny. That's awesome.

Well, guys, I like a good coming of tracks as much as the next guy. And due to Comic-Con and just the time of the year, there's a lot of different trailers coming out that the zeitgeist is going down with the Toms. Hanks and Cruise back in familiar terrain with a couple trailers and also Blade is back. No trailer, though. No trailer. No, they don't need a trailer.

But just casting. I heard Mahershala Ali pitched himself to them to be Blade. Yeah. Or he brought the idea up. He's like, I'm Wesley Snipes without tax problems. Right. And with incredible gravity. I wonder if you think that would bring salty Wesley Snipes out?

I wonder if he's like, this ain't Blade, this is bullshit. I think he's moody. So one day we might hear from him. The next day he'd be like, no, I'm going to be in the movies. They're going to be pretty great. Right, exactly. Oh, right. He'll make a stink to get cast.

Maybe there'll be a scene where Wesley Snipes gives Mahershala Ali the sword or something. Anyway. Yeah, they're in that club. It just turns to blood and then everyone disappears. It's just them. Yeah, right. My favorite thing about Blade is a story from the set of Blade that Wesley Snipes, somebody overheard Wesley Snipes say to somebody, some motherfucker's always trying to ice skate uphill.

And just said that off the top of his head. It wasn't like a saying he had. Oh, wow. That's just how Wesley Snipes talks. He's a visionary. Yeah. What do you like of the, did you like the Tom Cruise? All right, let's talk Top Gun.

Let's talk Tom. Can we talk about it? Let's talk Turkey. I love Top Gun. I mean, I wanted to be a fighter pilot. Because of Top Gun? Yeah. No, my uncle was a fighter pilot in Vietnam,

so I already knew it was a possibility. Oh, your badass uncle? Yes. Yes. From your live show? Yes. Yes. From your live show uncle? Yes. That man. Oh, shit.

Yes, that man. Yeah. So I already knew it was a possibility, and then that movie came along, and it made it look, you know, it makes it look so cool. But it's not that cool, you guys. It's so much math.

Right. I forget it. Well, and you have to be in the military. Jack is a mathematician with his calculator trick. You also have to be in the military. That was a mathematician with his calculator tricks. You also have to be in the military. That was literally the reason I didn't do it. Right, because you would have to be in the military. They don't just let civilians.

They don't cruise beach volleyball courts. They made him be a pilot. Yeah, you had to do bad stuff once they train you, and you're like, ah. Right. And I have to listen to people that are dumber than me. Yeah. Did you like the trailer, though, for the new one?

I have some questions. Like what? Why is he still playing that piano? Right. Why are they doing that? Why did he pull the bike out? Why did he pull the bike out? Do you see him?

He's on the motorcycle? Yeah. Yeah. Why do you do that? Why are you see him reveal the motorcycle? Yeah. Yeah. Why'd he do that? Why'd he do that? I guess, yeah, maybe they really had to hammer all those references down to get people to be like, yeah. Because the second I saw the jets flying around, I was like, oh, this might be cool. There was an F-18.

Those things are amazing. As soon as I saw those, I'm like, I'm in. Right. Someone told me, no, Tom Cruise is really flying the jets this time. That's not true. And I don't think it is, but I'm going to keep spreading that. There is that one shot, though, where he goes inverted, and it looks pretty realistic.

I'm sure he's in there. Not that he's in that, like, flying an actual F-18, but he'd do that. If it is at all legal for them to let him fly one of those jets, he was definitely flying that because he is that motherfucker. Or, yeah, this has all been leading up to him to steal a military jet and just fly it off to his own random spot. I told you, his entire career, the most expensive shot in movie history was from Vanilla Sky.

It's him sprinting through Times Square when it's completely empty. They had to shut down all of New York City at like five in the morning just to get like Times Square completely empty for that shot. It cost them like a million dollars for a minute. And it was for a dream sequence. It was just Tom Cruise just wanted to run through Times Square while it was completely empty. Like that's his whole, his whole career is an excuse for him to do shit

that like he saw in a dream one time. But that was Kubrick too, right? No, that was, oh, Vanilla Sky was in it.

Vanilla Sky was the dude who directed Jerry Maguire. Because I was just like, that's also some Kubrick shit. We're like, yeah, let's do that.

Right. That's hilarious. Yeah, for one minute, a million dollars. Kubrick was like, when's also some Kubrick shit. We're like, yeah, let's do that. Right. That's hilarious. Yeah, for one minute, a million dollars. Kubrick was like, when we were filming the moon landing. No, Stanley. You mean that fuck party with masks scene. Yes, yes, yes. Yes, yes.

And then Tom Hanks as Mr. Fred the Rogers, who, yeah, I don't know set the record for most likable human in the 80s and, you know, they have that in common. They're incredibly likable old white guys. Yeah, I

You know, the heroin storyline is fascinating. Yeah. To be dope sick and get through all those, you know, the heroin storyline is fascinating. Yeah. Right. To be dope sick and get through all those, you know, all of those episodes without sort of like losing it on the puppets, I think that's crazy. It is interesting.

Like the trailer, because there's not really a genre that this fits into of just like, God, this guy's great. Yeah, there's no darkness in the trailer. Yeah, there were some moments we were watching it together where it seemed like there was going to be like a complicated love affair between him and the journalist.

Probably between the journalist. Yeah, I think the journalist like wants to do some dirt on it, like get some dirt out there on him. And he's just like, God damn it. He's too kind. It's like looking into god's eyes right exactly yeah i just it was weird when even though i saw and i was like oh this is this is i like this story i'm like i don't know if there's a human being kind enough to portray like

tom hanks you know fine he looks okay as mr rogers but Mr. Rogers literally has some godlike quality to him that I don't know who can actually portray it accurately. I think that's probably why they got- It's just like Tom Hanks with gray hair doing a Southern accent. But I think that's why they got Tom Hanks because he's like the only actor- He'll disarm you, right?

Yeah. With that kind of credibility still. Yeah. Because it's probably the same thing as like, what dirt can you find on Tom Hanks? That's probably the- Just that his Instagram is like is like lame yeah but that's like dad exactly that's what i mean yeah mr rogers fucking instagram is probably lame to anybody who yeah he's real into typewriters man yeah um yeah so i don't know that'll be interesting to see. That's going to be the conflict of the movie is whether they can find conflict.

Yeah. Yeah, maybe whether they can, yeah. Well, he supported Kissinger dropping bombs on Cambodia or something like that. Maybe. Oh, really? Man, a lot of mentions of- That's like a weird one. Look at this op-ed he wrote.

Okay, good. that was made up uh did you see some of the stuff he wore he wrote right before hiroshima and nagasaki yeah a little you can't use those you couldn't use those words then yeah i don't know i don't know yeah i really a part of me though would i would see a comedy though where mr rogers is a scumbag right that to me because i think as we watched the trailer, we so desperately needed conflict. Cause like any trailer, you're like, there's a moment where someone goes,

you don't know me or something like that. Everything. It looked like the whole fucking trailer was like one long hug. Yeah. Which, Hey, that's what Mr. Rogers is.

I know, but I guess now I'm realizing how cynical I've become. Like, where's the fucking death, man? Well, it's just, there's never been a movie that had no conflict in it, right? Has there? I'm sure some...

Yeah, somebody's going to tell us about it. Tell us what the first conflict-free movie was. Yeah. Well, I think there's a reason we can't name it. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

This does seem like maybe one of those movies that, like Man on a Wire or whatever, where it's a really good documentary. And then they were like, now we're going to turn it into a blockbuster. 3D movie. The footage of them doing the actual thing was pretty cool. You didn't necessarily need to see Tom Hanks do it. What was Homeboy's name who played him? The three-named guy? You didn't necessarily need to see Tom Hanks. What was Homeboy's name who played him? Who played him? The three-named guy?

Oh, John Louis Dreyfus? No. Julian Louis Dreyfus. Oh, what the fuck? What was his name? Anna. That guy. You know who he is.

That actor from Inception. Little guy. Joseph Gordon-Levitt. There he is. And he looked freaky as shit. I remember. That was the only thing I remember from thatception. Little guy. Joseph Gordon-Levitt. There he is. And he looked freaky as shit. I remember, that was the only thing I remember from that trailer.

I was like, why does he have like CGI blue eyes? Somebody felt very off about that. Yeah, that is weird. Anyway. He had a weird run there because in Looper, he also had,

Listen to The Making of a Rivalry, Caitlin Clark vs. Angel Reese

on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. And time for the serious news of the day. There is an ongoing trial involving activists who shut down a freeway in 2017. And you know, LA does not fuck around when it comes to traffic. So they are going after a couple of the organizers of this demonstration. And as part of that, it has been revealed that they had been infiltrated, this left-wing group. They had been infiltrated by the LAPD undercover. Well, you know, as the LAPD says, they seem to be really concerned with not having another Charlottesville was the logic being applied.

Right. And they saw that the anniversary of Trump's election, the one year anniversary, could possibly bring out all kinds of people into the streets and some kind of unpredictable event. So that was that's when they said they're like, well, that's why we sent it. But on four separate occasions, this informant went to Echo Park United Methodist Church with a hidden recorder and was just recording conversations of this group called refuse fascism and they've done a lot of like demonstrations across the u.s but this was specifically for the la chapter they were going into and the logic was just like we did it for safety and that's actually why the lapd also sent numerous spies to demonstrably violent alt-right and white national groups as well right oh actually wait no they fucking didn't because I don't know why.

Because this is how law enforcement is working. Well, can I ask you a question? I mean, I'm not siding on the law enforcement side yet, but this came out because of the trial that they had, but like, who says that they're not in these other groups right now? The LAPD said they weren't. Oh, they came out and said they weren't? So this was an anonymous informant who was talking about this and saying, you know, the thing about them wanting to avoid another Charlottesville, that famous left-wing insurrection.

insurrection uh but uh they also the informant also said you know the la or the la times asked them well were you doing the same thing with right-wing groups and uh he said no there there weren't any right-wing groups that we were worried about in the la area in that same time frame so when they're worried about another charlottesville but would you the reason they they point to is that there wasn't enough organized activity. I understand what they said. No, and I understand. But my thought, my whole thought process is like, if there's people still in those groups watching those people.

Right. Like saying like, yeah, we watch them too. Or I think maybe they could limit it to like we investigated or whatever. But I think it just seemed like. But I'm just saying that any of that investigation, like I read that book about the dude that infiltrated the Hells Angels, that dude. Yeah, you're not going to say, yeah, we got some people in there right now.

Or just it's like they're dumb and they're like, no, we don't investigate them at all. And they're like, yeah, yeah. And then the whole time, you know what I mean what i mean right sure so just like sometimes like but i think just given the backdrop of how police have even collaborated in sacramento to like with neo-nazi groups to like no i'm not arrest people well yeah but i mean like the way that typically when it comes to the sort of like antifa versus white nationalism in the street type things, they typically side against or opposed to the left-wing groups. And I guess with this one, too, they were thinking, like,

oh, something might happen. Ultimately, they were deemed to be not a threat because even as a group, they're like, we're a nonviolent organization. We're here to actually bring awareness to these issues. And then they shut down the interstate. Yeah. Well, I think at the same time, I think it's better than killing people or whatever. No, I'm not saying that, but I'm just saying, like,

it is, like, that's a good way to get attention, is shutting down the interstate. Sure, yeah. I didn't mean that in a bad way. Oh, oh, oh, right, right, right. No, yeah. And that's what they did. Right.

So the police were right. They were just like, these guys aren't going to hurt anybody. They were just going to do that. And I think, again, I think- I just think them saying, like, to the They were just like, these guys aren't going to hurt anybody. They were just going to do that. And I think, again, I think- I just think them saying like, to the press, being like, no, yeah, we're investigating the Rottweiler groups too. It's like, that's going to endanger whoever you have in that. Well, this was the person who- Because they do more violence.

The person who told them about this was someone within the department who was sort of giving them a little bit additional commentary about the situation, but not giving an official statement as LAPD. It's just like a person working in this group. No, and I mean, I still stand by what I said with that, too, because that's just any of those leaks and all that, that's all designed. Right. Yeah, no, that's fair. Hopefully they are. Yeah, I'm not defending either party here.

I'm just saying like taking anonymous, it's just one of those things where it's like all that undercover stuff is just fascinating to me because they're looking at everybody. Right. Because A, they like to. That's part of their job. And then it's to like an individual basis

when they're corrupt. Do you know what I mean like there are the the and I think the white supremacist stuff is like in smaller towns I'm sure it's here to a certain no and I think I believe that where if you're looking strictly at the jurisdiction of the LAPD like you're probably going to have more on your hands if you're working for like the San Bernardino Sheriff's Department yes and things that. Where there's just mostly white people, which is the funniest part of all that. And I think, but I guess this is all set against a backdrop too, where you have Ted Cruz being like, we need to label Antifa a terrorist organization or whatever. And it's purely just to be like, we need to find a way to kneecap as many

demonstrators or people who are speaking out against this shit as possible or intimidate them and it's not even to me it isn't about the like are they looking at right right wing groups as much as left wing groups as in so much as they are infiltrating left wing groups which will have a chilling effect on people wanting to demonstrate or get active well that's part of the whole thing too too, is they just say it, and then both sides get paranoid. Right. Sure. Do you know what I mean? That's just, it's easy, and that's what they want more than anything is infighting on both groups so that they're not going to.

But then Russia wants to just have two different sides on the same street corner having a demonstration. Right. Right. But now there's like nine different sides. Yeah. Yeah. Well, that's their design too and yeah i mean it is against a national backdrop of you know where people are arrested for white supremacist like plots to blow up an apartment building and it just like doesn't

even make a the front page of a national newspaper yeah yeah like it's just people don't view there's like something about right-wing nationalism that causes people to just not be able to categorize it as a dangerous terrorist threat, even though Oklahoma City happened. When it's usually two sets of poor people mad that they're still poor and blaming it on the wrong people. Right. If we're being honest. That's what usually the whole thing is.

Yeah. Just frustrated they can't get what they've been promised. Right. And then the leaders that typically attempt to unite the two doesn't end up well. They don't really want to. Don't let them connect the dots. We don't want to teach children how to handle money in school. Why would we teach them that? Right. Yeah. There's a special club that you have to give controlled access to that teaches you how to make money off of people who don't know.

But I have a seminar that I'm doing in Irvine at the Ramada Inn. Yeah. I will let you in on the secret. Can you give us a little taste of what we might learn? I can't. Okay. I can't. And how much is it?

It is $3,000 a person. Okay, great. But when you think about all the money you're going to make? Afterwards, yeah. It's nothing. It costs negative $170,000. Well, just imagine this right now. Think about all the money you're losing right now as we speak.

Thinking. Using your brain. How much money are you losing right now? See? He's going to turn your brain into a weapon, Miles. It's going to be a weapon. Turn your brain off so you can make money. There you go.

Turn your empathy off. Turn it off. Yeah. Bring it to me. Well, speaking of making money and poor people, we're all going to be poor soon, according to Elizabeth Warren. That actually could have been like an intro from Tucker Carlson. Yeah, I was going to say that.

According to Elizabeth Warren. I told you to be born. We're all going to be born. Betty, in here. I told you. Well, Elizabeth Warren was kind of ahead of the whole subprime mortgage crash. So far ahead. She was like in 2004, like when all the big short people like had no idea what was going

on. Elizabeth Warren was like, there's a bunch of really bad shit. Yeah, she's like, families are getting deeper into debt. And then she's like, these subprime mortgages aren't good. They're deceptive. And everyone's like, yeah, yeah, yeah. Shut up, lady. I got some money.

I can't hear you on my fucking yacht. Right. But yeah, now she and her, you know, she's been posting so much on Medium plans and everything. She's right now she's sort of sounding alarm bells or pointing to a few different ones in the economy that to her, she's like, ween, this is this is getting bad. And there's sort of three main points, the first being like household debt, because right now between student loan debt, which has more than doubled since the financial crisis, there's that impacting American credit card debt, which is matching its peak from 2008. There's auto loan debt that we've talked about before.

How many people are like- I've been saying that for years. Who are upside down on car loans? Yeah. Because you see people in those giant trucks, and you're like, not this many people can't afford those. I'm like, is everyone balling out of fucking control? Yeah.

Right. Okay. Tight. And then someone's like, no, it's a prom. They just say it. Right. And you're like, you guys. Right.

And yeah, and like a lot of those loans are written basically in very similar characteristics to those like home loans also. in very similar characteristics to those like home loans also. And then when you just look at, there's like 30% of adults in the country have debts that are in collections. It's like, okay, that's one thing. Meaning there's so much financial stress on households right now that there isn't much flexibility where any kind of downturn happened. It could just set off a chain of events. Then you talk about corporate debt. They're also heavily in debt and it's only been going up. It's jumped 40% since Trump took office in terms of corporations that are getting involved in leveraged lending. So that's another systemic risk. And those loans for

businesses are also very similar in terms of their characteristics to pre-2008 subprime mortgages, which are poorly underwritten and not many protections and all the debts sold to investors. Then manufacturing recession. The fact that, you know, for the first time ever, average hourly wage for manufacturing workers has dropped below the national average. So, you know, she's like, OK, well, if that doesn't scare you, she's like, consider this, the yield curve. For the first time since 2007 it has inverted um and the curve has inverted before each and every as she says each and every recession in the past half century with only one false signal but she has a plan it's vote for me right but

she's like we need to reduce student debt you know raise wages limit corporate debt get manufacturing base healthy but a lot of these very progressive things that are like, first we need to eliminate the stress on households that they're experiencing financially. Right. But will we move in that direction? I don't know. I mean, that is the question is whether this is, you know,

like she's not viewing this through the same eyes as she was when she was, you know, she's not viewing this through the same eyes as she was when she was you know a professor in 2004 telling us that shit was about to hit the fan now she has a presidential election that she has to be thinking about and you know that that has to influence her in one way or another because you know if the economy just keeps going in the same positive direction, this probably hurts her chances. I'm sure at the very least before she came out with these warnings, she had to convince a bunch of campaign analysts and investors that this was the right thing to do. What investors? Yeah, I guess not investors.

You're not investors. Yeah. But I think that's the thing. I think just from being an economist and understanding all of these factors, I think the thing that will probably connect most to people is the topic of household debt. Well, yeah, and I think she can't say what the cause is without confusing everyone either, because she can't explain like, okay, let's take the Panama Papers. Okay, this is blah, blah, blah. And then what they've done-

They're hoarding their wealth. And what they've done is this, right? Through a series of just shale companies. And these countries that you think you know and understand as countries aren't, they're just kind of shales of countries that they're laundering money. And so what these evil mafioso oligarch kind of people are doing is now they've installed a dingbat who is systematically trying to destroy this financial system. And they're doing a great job because the Koch brothers and all these other people are helping them because they want to rule the world. Right.

Meanwhile, you're like, I need a Ford Escape hybrid battery. Yes. Yes. Right. It's like, oh, right. Okay. Household debt. Let's take it there first.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Because I mean, I think that's the thing that gets lost on people sometimes is when you really try and school people on like, what's the real forces at work? It's like, oh, come on. Yeah. Please just relate it to like my in front of me experience.

It's probably like, okay, do you have student debt? Yeah. Please just relate it to my in front of me experience. It's probably like, okay, do you have student debt? Yeah. How come the money I go and make and work as hard as humanly possible isn't enough to do life? Right. Right. That's the question. Yeah. Why is that?

Answer that fucking question. Why is that? Yeah. Well, there's this thing called the Panama Papers. No. No. No. No.

It all started with a guy named Adam Smith. A man, a plan, a canal, Panama. No, no, no, no, wrong. I was just looking at the 538. They have this chart where you can look at presidential approval over time compared to past presidents. disapproval over time compared to past presidents. And I was comparing Trump's to George H.W. Bush because his campaign for re-election, failed campaign for re-election because he lost to Clinton, was kind of defined by the country going into a recession. But at this point in his presidency, the point that Trump's at right now uh trump is negative 10 points so he's has

more people disapproving of him than approving of him by 10 points uh bush was at plus 50 because the economy was still fucking banging and then uh and he could speak in front of human beings right so people were like hey all right yeah uh and so yeah i mean it just things can turn bad quickly and if they do that would probably be bad for trump but i don't know it also might just be a totally different thing these days where uh approval doesn't fluctuate as much as it used to because most people have already made up their mind about what side they're on yeah that was one thing i saw in texas i was just driving out in the middle of nowhere and there was a dude with a stand that sold mega gear uh just like it was a lemonade or something was

it officially licensed what i did was i looked at some analytics and i was like what is this spot in the middle of nowhere right exactly turns out these two houses by the most maggot gear and there i was right miles muller is going to be testifying publicly tomorrow tomorrow it's happening uh is it yep do we need to know what is what is happening i mean look yeah exactly he's finally going to testify publicly on camera. He's been doing it at parties all over. Yeah. And I think what we're calling cliff notes for dumb fuck politicians who can't be bothered to carry out their constitutional oath. Because considering most of the country and most legislators have not read the thing,

Considering most of the country and most legislators have not read the thing, this, I think, is going to be, hopefully, could be a good opportunity in the court of public opinion to hear from the guy who wrote it give answers. But, again, I'm not quite sure. I think he feels frustrated. Yeah, I think he does, too. Because there's no precedent, really, for what's happening. Yeah. And I think he's like, yo, I thought I made it pretty goddamn clear twice. Right. Yo, I thought I made it pretty goddamn clear twice.

Right. And we'll see what happens because on one side, you're going to have the Democrats being like, this is why I should be reelected and grandstanding a little bit. And then Republicans will be like, the fucking Steele dossier. I've never seen an outrageous, outrageous. The unwarranted wire tappings. What you're doing to these men is... Sir, sir, wake up, wake up. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Wave some Doritos under his nose. The N-word. No, the N-word. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Please. I'll wake up and... But yeah, so on, you know, right now, Jerry Nadler believes that that Mueller is going to be coming with the heat,

but we'll see because right now the, the word is according to reports, the Democrats actually have a plan, not rather than just completely disjointed, incoherent, like fragments of questions being screamed out. I know. Hey,

look, I don't know we'll see because this is what they're claiming uh they at the moment uh so the way they're going to split it up first is that in the judiciary committee which jerry nadler heads up all their questions are going to be focused on obstruction just muller tell us about obstruction and i feel like that's going to be an easy one when you consider everything that was in the report. And then from the Intel Committee, which he'll go after, I'm not sure the order, but at the Intel Committee, which is Adam Schiff's committee, they're going to focus on Russia.

And so the whole thing is, as the reporting goes, it says lawmakers are rereading the Mueller report. Rereading. Oh, good. So you read it before. And watching his past congressional appearances while committee staff are working to divide up the questions for lawmakers in a way that will be logical to millions of television viewers. Democrats on both committees... I bet it won't.

I bet it won't. Democrats on both committees are preparing a carefully tailored script to split up questions among their members to try and present a cohesive narrative for the first time in decades. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know if...

Is this all day tomorrow? It's a long... Like during the day? Yeah. Starting at 8.30 Eastern. 5 a.m. Pacific? Yeah. I'm glad I got a baby.

I'll be up. Yeah, that's a joke. And hold your baby 5 a.m. Pacific? Yeah. I'm glad I got a baby. I'll be up. There you go. That's a joke. Yeah. And hold your baby tight as you watch it all go down. It's all going to burn down after this. For me, that was the royal wedding between Harry and Meghan. Oh, wow. That was a thing that I never would have seen were it not for the fact that I had a baby.

Were it not for baby. But yeah, Trump is very relaxed. He's like, you better not. You better not, Tess. That could be very bad for him. Really? I'm not sure what that- Is he saying that? Yeah, he tweeted that shit. He's like, you better not. You better not test. That could be very bad for him. Really? I'm not sure what that is. Is he saying that?

He tweeted that shit. Setting up mafia threats? Yeah. I mean, that's the language he's speaking. I thought Matt Gaetz usually does that for him. But this time, it's like, it could be very bad. It could be bad for him. The anvil fall on him while he's walking in.

Right. Yeah, or a piano. You don't know an Acme Company piano. So, yeah, we'll see. I mean, I think at best it might get more coverage on Fox. They'll be like, I can't believe Mueller said this stuff out loud. That's true. Right.

But meanwhile, I think that's really what... I think if anything, it'll be one more glaring thing to hopefully help in primaries and all that again right yeah i don't know just you're just convincing a small like two more percent of the population of the united states like hey seriously yeah and then they're like oh okay well if he said it hey is it bad yeah we talked before about how it wasn't the Washington Post reporting that turned America on Watergate and on Nixon. It was televised hearings that Congress had, basically, that people were like, oh. It became a very hot thing to watch.

It was like the OJ trial of its time, except it mattered. And that's the first thing that like, because I think, well, Washington Post report, Americans haven't liked to read for a long time. And so the Washington Post reporting,

I think was similar to the Mueller report. Like a lot of people are like, whoa, this is really bad. But it took somebody on TV being like, whoa, this is really bad right uh took somebody on tv being like whoa this is really bad for them to be like i think this is bad i mean they were even doing like dramatic readings like on fucking broadway and shit right yeah yeah so yeah i mean i think you know i guess because everyone interprets everything through video or tv now yeah may i hopefully it will or it'll just be another example of like,

I guess everyone is so, their minds are so made up. You could even have Robert Mueller being like, yeah, if I were able to make charges, I would have. Well, he already kind of said that. He only kind of said it before. He's trying to be a company man about it and not be like, well, see, it's not appropriate for me

to do that because I respect this guideline. No, I see what you're saying. I'm just saying like he already said that. Yeah, but if you can actually interpret words and get the underlying meaning of things, you'd be like, oh, this is bad, and he's basically saying, if I was able to, I would, but I can't. Yeah, like the whole time somebody's just like, why are you wanking? Hey, man, do you need a tissue or something why is he putting

his thumb on his nose and then who has ever done that to indicate oh yeah i'm doing that you okay dude that's the that's the next step after winking? Winking, yeah. Uh-oh. Or just thumbs down fart sound. Oh, yeah, I wouldn't charge. Right. Well, yeah, we'll see. I mean, there's also the idea that before he was acting in his official capacity, like the only time we've heard him or seen his writing was when he was acting in his official capacity as the uh whatever special counsel uh so now like some people thought that he was officially resigning that post in that press

conference so that he could then like speak as a private oh yeah it's just the homie bob right yeah that would be amazing if he just sat down loosened his tie and said you don't have robert today you got bob you got bob here what you motherfuckers need to know go for bob go for it That would be amazing if he just sat down, loosened his tie, and said, you don't have Robert today. You got Bob. You got Bob here. What you motherfuckers need to know. Go for Bob. Go for it.

He says some are public and tries to spin it. Right. You have like Mark Meadows being like, isn't that true? He's like, dude, shut the fuck up, man, with that dumb shit. I'm here to fucking spit facts. Yeah, he sits down and just tweets at Trump, you better turn on your TV, motherfucker. Oh, you're going to love this. Ow! All right, we're going to take a quick break.

We'll be right back. Daphne Caruana Galizia was a Maltese investigative journalist who, on October 16, 2017, was murdered. There are crooks everywhere you look now. The situation is desperate.

No, the president's an innocent man. No collusion, no obstruction. So we wanted to use the time we have left to talk about Disney. First of all, because they announced an airline, there might be a Disney airline similar to Disney Cruises. Yeah. I mean, I believe it. You would get

to fly the friendly skies with uh you know most people i and i know this from this weekend most people when they see an infant get on the plane just like one infant they're like fuck like stay away from me uh fuck stay away from me baby right literally we had a woman shooting our baby like the most openly dirty looks no during the whole thing yeah yeah she was just like like making that kid crying making that noise with her no he was just like the sight of a biracial child yes yeah exactly that's what it was and i laughed fucking wholeheartedly well it's that it's people's – I fly a lot, so you start noticing. It's people's anxiety comes out in a weird way.

Yes. It's what it is. They're like, oh, this baby, it's going to ruin my whole flight. Yeah. That's what I'm going to focus on instead of being terrified of being in this flight, too. And I will use my confirmation bias to make it so. Yeah. I will put out this energy.

Like noise-canceling headphones, if you fly a lot, that's the best thing. It really is great. Because it not only does it like you can't really hear much, but you can hear what you need to. Also, when you put it on, people also have that need. If they sit next to you, some people's anxiety is to just chat your ear off. Right. They don't know they're doing it.

Right. Because they're not normally impolite people. You watch them. Everything else they do is very polite. They just don't know they're doing it. Right. Because they're not normally impolite people. You watch them. Everything else they do is very polite. Right. They just don't know that they're like, so where are you going? And who's there? And when you get there, who's going to be there?

Do you know people when you travel and stuff? As I said, it's my home. That's where I come from. Is it? Now, you do it a lot. I'm sorry. My noise-canceling headphones, I can't hear you. Oh, hey, one more.

Nope. One more. Sorry. One, sorry. One more strange question. Give me the phone. I got noise-canceling headphones and promptly started traveling only with my kids, so I couldn't use them. But I'm going to start bringing them and giving them to people who are sitting next to us. Because that's the most stressful thing as a parent is that you're, like, annoying the shit sure yeah yeah um and they're not in your ones so uh yeah that's what's the where do

we fall on that because you know like a lot of people like babies shouldn't be allowed on planes that's the dumbest thing i've ever heard i agree man come to my website no babies on planes.org i sit in the back of planes usually because that's usually where thoughtful parents go. Right. In the back of the plane. Because it doesn't really bother me. I can fall asleep. I'm so used to hearing.

Like I've accepted babies as a part of the fuselage noise. And very rarely is one like just screaming for three straight hours. Right. It's usually on takeoff and landing when a lot of adults are kind of bitching and moaning because they're like, my ears hurt and stuff. And you're like, it does it every time. We're changing pressure real quick, you guys. Just yawn.

Yeah. Or here's some chew gum. Here's some chew gum for my section. Chew gum, huh? Here you go. Chew gum. Chew gum by Billy Wayne. I'm everybody's dad here in the back.

Let's have a chew. I love giving someone a piece of gum But I think the Disney airline might have, it seems like a lot of their business is like sort of focused on like, hey, we get it. You have a family, you want to go on a trip.

Why not just fucking come to our thing where they'll be so stimulated. It seems like by design you have, that's why I brought up all the baby stuff. It seems like this is a thing that is designed to have lots of babies, but it's like designed to just be like free reign but it's designed to just be free reign. It's for the kids.

And they're saying flights will be visited by some of Disney's favorite characters. You're damn right they better be. And the pilot's address from the cockpit will come from none other than Captain Buzz Lightyear. Oh, shit. Oh, well, I just got off. Buzz Lightyear is a notoriously oblivious character

who always thinks he's doing something that he's not actually doing. That might actually be unnerving. Someone who will ignore their co-pilot constantly. I've got this. Don't worry. He's just in the back talking to people. Like, hey, how you doing?

No, they're in autopilot. It's like, fuck, I can't reach that lever to this goddamn costume. Buzz Lightyear has got a buzz today. That's what I'm telling you kids. Better I'm not even in the cockpit right now. That's what I'm telling you, kids. Better I'm not even in the cockpit right now. That's what I'm telling you. I'm flammable, man.

I found a headline from 2022, actually, that says, Pilots cumbersome Buzz Lightyear costume to blame in fatal Disney air crash. What? So imagine that. What? That makes sense. Wait, why does that make sense? That's a joke because I'm not a time traveler. I'm envisioning a cockpit.

I was just going on with the joke. Oh, shit. Wait, what? I don't know why you were so confused. Jack, I just got back from 2022, man. I've got to tell you a lot of shit. I didn't hear you say 2022. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to.

Wait, what year is it? Like, literally, the reason this fooled me so much is because you wrote it in a headwind put it in a doc like hey man he reads whatever's on the doc you know go fuck yourself that was a good impression me too all right and then finally we want to talk about disney just crushing it at the bo this weekend boffo bo for disney and the lion king and uh somebody in the washington post dan hasler forest wrote an article that i actually like about how the lion king uh as a fable, is actually pro-fascism.

Hamlet? Oh. No, it is Hamlet. Like, literally, beat for beat, it's Hamlet. So they're allegorizing human power structures with the predator-prey relationships in the animal kingdom. Oh, boy. So that inevitably suggests that there are, like, superior people who rule over their subjects because they are inferior to them in the natural order of things. And the hyenas are fucked up when you think about it.

The hyenas are just treated like shit. The only thing that Scar does to gain power is like, I will not starve you to death. And they're like, all right. Oh, right. Yeah. Because he needs hyena gang to back him up. Right. And they're like, yeah, Nazi shit like that.

Saying not to starve the underclass. That's bullshit. I was watching a video that the dude in the Washington Post article links off to where a guy talks about the sound of music and how it's a similar thing where like textually it's about like the good guys are Nazi fighters and the bad guys are Nazis. But then when you look at like the actual imagery, like the iconography pits, like the good guys are these agrarian country people who are like the Aryan ideal. And the Nazis are like these metropolitan bureaucratic, like basically the Nazi stereotype of like the metropolitan Jewishish influence and he's basically saying that like implicitly the movie is giving you the ideals of the nazis while textually like explicitly it's like yeah nazis are bad though and this guy's kind of making the same point about

the lion king uh in the sense that it's you know this superior race that is better looking because all Disney movies come down to good-looking versus bad. People are good and bad-looking people are bad. But these genetically superior rulers should be able to kill and eat their inferior subjects. Well, if you take out the Sound of Music comparison, it's what happens when you try to personify nature. Right, yeah, that's true. You can't.

It's going to get confused because you're going to put personalities from your weird perspective on whatever way you view that animal or whatever. Right. So that to me is the foundation of where I can be like, you can make that argument about any perspective when you do that. Does that make sense? Yeah. And then with The Sound of Music,

my thought was like, it comes down to art like that also comes down to commerce, and they're trying to sell that movie to mostly rural people because that's where most of the population was. Right. So that's who the protagonist needed to be.

So most people go see that movie, relate to it, and they also need the poor needed to be. So most people go see that movie relate to that. And they also need the poor people to be ready to fight because they're the ones that need to go fight. Yeah, I feel like there is an inherent romanticism about agrarian, pure rural communities just like anywhere, including modern Hollywoodwood like in the hunger games it's like the weirdos from the city are trying to control the like poor scrappy outsiders from

the the country uh jason pargin from crack wrote about this a lot uh so i don't know i feel like it might just be something that naturally appeals to, like, that is like an ideal, like a myth that a lot pure white people from the country who are, you know, going back to nature and back to their roots. Because like even in Star Wars, when you like put it in a different circumstance, like that's the same archetype that they go to. It's like city bad, bureaucrats bad. bureaucrats bad and well they need to simplify it too to get randoms on their side and then have the people in between fall in line because it's also easier to believe which you're being told if you look a certain way and then they're taking everyone else away right yeah so i think that that's there's like a nuance to and that's the problem with like if you go and i base a lot of what where I have problems with movies and stuff is like, when people want to do this with movies especially, is because of how they cast and write movies. It's pure archetype.

Right. So they lose, it becomes idealistic just through what you're trying to get across to as many people as possible. Right. what you're trying to get across to as many people as possible. Right. So it might not be as diabolical as we think it is, and just more just like, well, we need a bad guy and a good guy, so all the dum-dums go to the thing on Saturday. I don't think it's consciously diabolical at all.

I think it's the shortest line between two spaces. Like the quickest way to make money is to appeal to the baser instincts and the baser ideals of the people and therefore you know i i always think of movies as sort of mining what is already in the national like heart and soul and mind so like green book right exactly so yeah so it's it's So it's not necessarily a condemnation of the movies so much as it's just a reflection of some dark shit that's already there. overreach and you know uh political correctness out of gone out of control and the exact same argument happened after the 1994 lion king where people pointed out the like some of the hyenas seemed to like embody black stereotypes and jewish stereotypes and uh there was just like some weird messaging hidden in there and people freaked out and said that it was liberal overreach and you couldn't, you know, it was political correctness run riot.

And that was right before the Republicans shocked everybody and took the 1994 midterms. Well, they just reached into the playbook. They probably topped Lion King into the whatever database. Oh, we already have the story. Oh, great. This is great. We just have to change it around a little bit because they're just older now who we're yelling at. There you go.

All right. Well, I do have one question, though, with all of this. Does the dust still spell out sex? That is the question. Who is it? Nala? Who rests down on the dust? Is it simba poppies right yeah and then he's like on that cliff and then the shit spells sex he jumps in like flowers right and the pollen comes up whatever it is is the sex in there yeah yeah that's what we need i mean i get it look there is there is creeping authoritarianism

and fascism in this country but like what are we teaching our kids with dust? Right. Fuck. What if it said fuck this time? They're like, hey, updated version. It goes in the dust. Kids know more now. It's not sex.

Or it says yeet. Or it just says fucking. Yeah. Fucking. Hashtag fucking. Not even subtle. Well, Billy Wayne, it's been a pleasure having you.
