I was playing Mortal Kombat Arcade last night, and I really like Johnny Cage because I think he's the funniest because he murders you and then throws his headshot at you.

Yeah. Which is- That's cool a legitimately hilarious movie he's a hollywood sociopath i really like it plus he's like he's the most oiled up and greasiest oh yeah dude he's like yeah he's just a super funny guy to play with i think yeah have you seen like those videos like the behind the scenes of like the mocap sessions for the first game like i need to check them out oh yeah they're on youtube like for any for any mk heads out there man it's it's just worth seeing like how they like they brought

these actors in to do all this stuff and now i'm just thinking like i wonder what that johnny cage actor was like actually when they were doing all this like i need more body oil man that's not gonna show up on the one needs to show up just it. Yeah. I hope he's also like a literature professor or something. He's like a great academic. Just a shredded literature professor. He happens to be able to do the splits and punch or whatever. Right, right. Oh, yeah.

What a move. He wants to talk about Yates. So that was the move, right? He would split and punch, and that was it? No, he's got a shadow kick. Dude, don't get me started. He's got the shadow elbow. don't get me started he's got he's got the shadow elbow he throws these weird green balls like everybody else they throw fire and stuff

which kind of makes sense but he throws these like green orbs they never explain if he's like part witch i don't know why i don't like green balls right it's a hollywood thing probably scientology oh that's what it's an l. Ron Hubbard reference yeah yeah that's what level is that of feet removal he was apparently he was inspired by

Jean-Claude Van Damme's character in Bloodsport yep you can feel it you can feel it oh yeah that's where the splits and the punching

yeah that's right because remember he's on the he's doing the splits on those folding chairs yes in Bloodsport

right yeah very pivotal scene in my young adulthood yeah he's doing the splits on those folding chairs. Yes. Yeah. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Very pivotal scene in my young adulthood. Yeah. That's, that's how you ended up where you are today.

Yeah, exactly. I'm current. You can't see me listeners, but I'm currently doing the splits in between. Doing the splits on two folding chairs. That's just how you record. That's how you're most comfortable.

Yeah. I feel at home there. Yeah. Yeah. What is something from your search history? Well, I haven't had a lot of interesting searches, but I did. Or something you screenshotted on your phone recently. Oh, yeah.

I mean, damn, you didn't even let me finish my fucking sentence. Oh, my bad. Man, I hate you so much, too, today. No, no, you don't hate me. You don't hate me. That's projection. Don't worry about that.. You don't hate me. That's projection. Don't worry about that. I'm not worried about that.

That's projection. Your cup of hate for me is so full that it's spilling over. That's true. I'm in such a bad mood. Yeah, your pimp hate cup runneth over. The Drake-Hendrick situation was... It's a situation ship at this point. Yeah, it's a situation ship.

I was so curious so because i've hated drake a very long time and i've been pretty vocal anti-drake for a very long time i do it on stage i spent the whole last year shitting on ralph barbosa's crowd because they're like they're young men so they all love drake and that was like so fun i hope that they've been thinking about me this week but anyhow i was like when did i start hitting him and i realized it was and that's what i googled the the that bay inspired song the motto i couldn't remember the name of it but i was like bay inspired drake song and i was like i just to confirm i was like there is no bay producer there was no bay rapper on it and i remember that pissing me the fuck off like oh this is on take care this

was this was like his first 2011 this was i think the third album damn you how you do go way back with the day i do because when that happened as much as i will say i did enjoy the song because it is it was a banger i'm not gonna say yeah and that was the thing it was still early so i was like i mean this song is good and it took me a minute to be like wait a minute there's a bay feature on this and there and then i looked it up and i was like and there's no big producer on this i was like this is fucking whack that's when i was like this guy's a fucking leech because a lot because i remember my brother being like what uh he's like well people plenty of people you know do bay area music and i was like yeah but they always have a bay area rapper featured on the song always when they dabble

with the sound yeah and anyway so i was like oh yeah it's been since 2011 since i've been like side-eyeing that motherfucker and i just i'm very proud of that and that was one of my last interesting google searches yeah because that that in that song because he's he's he says rest in peace mag dray i'm gonna do it for the bay and you're like oh and i feel the video what wasn't the video also shot in the bay too i don't remember the video yeah i don't anyway like i i know what you mean it is it's very raises an eyebrow raises yeah and it was my first time where i was like hmm because i mean especially because the bay is so protective that i was like how did he get away with this but it was a slapper

and it was early in his career and i was like ah maybe he just kind of like made a bad choice but nah it was intentional he's ripped off everybody since then so yeah yeah yeah yeah and yeah we'll see we'll see where he shows his face or he's just gonna post like just vacation videos for the next year or something i can't wait to find out what happens i hate him so much i've been waiting for this week for so long there's a man there's even people who are like you know there could there be like legal consequences could they sue each other for what's happening and then like you know the fans are like i'm sure like those songs were vetted by lawyers it's like i don't i don't think so i don't know no he must have a big ass law firm like working around the clock kendrick if they were vetting that shit because

even those were coming out fast one also and if he has evidence you're like where are the police then yeah i mean i mean that's the thing though it's like what drake what suing like how much of a buster does that make him look like he can't do that like that would really ruin any kind of cool rep that he would even that he has little that he has like that's why it's so interesting when when you when you say that because it's like i mean rappers that's like you know code of conduct right it's like you don't sue each other for shit if it's a lie then it's a lie why would you sue like oh it's a lie i don't you know but if it's true and you have no proof that motherfucker and dre hell it that motherfucker has been having women

sign ndas to go into his parties forever i had this friend who was a stripper and i remember her telling me and i was like what and um i was like yeah that's so fucking weird that you make people sign especially women sign ndas before you walk into your house party that's fucking weird yeah like if i did that it would just be like please don't tell anybody how messy my fucking before you walk into your house party. That's fucking weird. Yeah. Like, if I did that, it would just be like, please don't tell anybody how messy my fucking apartment is. Right, right.

We do make people sign NDAs. Like, please. Like, imagine that, because they would lock the phones. He must be the original investor in Yonder Bags. Yeah. Because they would make these girls lock their phones and sign NDAs.

Like it's a Louis C.K. show or some shit. Yeah. Right. Yeah. or some shit. Yeah. Right. Yeah. That's weird. Yeah. Yeah. So there's a lot of stuff about that.

There's the Millie Bobby Brown interview that just like resurfaced. There's a few interviews from her. She's like, yeah, he texts me. And, you know, I'm 12 and it's totally fine. He texts me so much. I miss you so much. And he answers questions for me about boys. And they were like, what do you mean? And she was like, oh, that's going to stay in the text. I was like so much. I miss you so much. And he answers questions for me about boys, and they were like, what do you mean?

And she was like, oh, that's going to stay in the text. I was like, no. Well, get your parents over here. I also just love the innocence of it, because she genuinely thinks there's nothing wrong with it. And it's like, yeah, of course she doesn't know, because she's a literal child. That's what groomers do. They trick you into thinking that what is happening is totally normal yeah dark side of the beef dark side of the beef dark side of the beef

andrew what is something you think is underrated uh and this again i've just had covid this is on me obviously because i know people love this but i just i was just taking long ass walks because i was like i'm gonna get some kind of exercise in. Yeah. I guess part of it is, yeah, unbelievably long walks, I guess. Unbelievably? What are you talking about? Like a fucking sojourn across the state?

I mean, I feel like I could do it now. But no, I mean two laps around Echo Park. Oh, okay. Which is unbelievably long for me. So we were talking about first couple of years. like yeah that's what he means by unbelievably long yeah people start following him around because they can't believe he's still doing it wow this guy did three laps around echo park lake unbelievable the legend grows after the second lap never Never able to figure out the exact tweet for this, but it's the time of

year where the baby geese are out. And so I was trying to figure out some Gosling's Ryan Gosling fall guy thing. But there's my dog almost got in a fight with multiple mother geese. Don't fuck with geese, man.

Geese are bitches. They are not nice. They seem angry and territorial. Their kids are cute. I saw, because of my unfathomably long walks, I've seen multiple families of

baby geese jumping into the goslings. I saw gosling jump into the the pool or into the lake and it's so cute warm your heart so cute every time is that your favorite bird would you say as a man andrew t what's your favorite bird damn damn damn damn yeah we got this just needs to be part of our questions yeah what's your favorite bird as a man? What's your favorite bird, dog? Yeah. TikTok, motherfucker. I'll say, I think maybe just a regular duck.

Goose is like too much. I'm not like... I'm not like that. They're very elegant and graceful. The goose. Like by design. Their neck design is just too much. We're getting the light. We're getting the light from Justin, folks. We're getting the goose. By design. Their neck design is just too much. We're getting the light from Justin, folks. We're getting the light.

Keep this shit moving. Hey, what's something you think is overrated? Bring it up with an overrated, Nicholas. Please. I was just thinking about in terms of dichotomies. There's another novel by Turgenev, Fathers and Sons. And it's about this kind of son that comes back to the family estate

with this kind of Dostoevsky radical figure in tow. And in a way, he's kind of a model for some of these Dostoevsky nihilist characters. And I think he's called Yevgeny, but I'm not 100% sure because it was a long time ago that I read it. And I just, I don't know. I didn't, I found, I found the characters in that book kind of annoying in a way. And they just kind of sort of prattled on. Anyway, Spring Torrent's very good. First Love, very good.

Yeah. Fathers and Sons. Out of here. First Love, very good. Yeah. Fathers and Sons. Out of here. For the birds. Yeah. You watching anything on Netflix, man? Yeah, you know what? Lovely Blind? You ever seen that? I've been watching Tokyo Vice.

Oh, yeah, on HBO. I think it's on HBO, actually. No, no, no. I mean, I've only caught the first couple episodes of the second season i read the book when it came out and i was really the book was really eye-opening because as someone who's half japanese just like the idea of an american person because it's so it's like my mom's a journalist and it was written in japan and stuff like that it's it's such a hard life and it's so rigid the way like the tests you have to take to even get in there.

Like the idea of a Westerner being like, yeah, I'm going to learn Japanese to that level, like blows my mind. But yeah, the show continues to be pretty popular. Yeah. So that's the story of Tokyo Vice as a Westerner trying to figure out life in Tokyo on the Vice Squad. Well, it's him writing about like what the vice squad is doing so like you learn all these different things about tokyo through his

interactions with police and then with this one is sort of centering around this yakuza guy who in the books telling was like having like renal issues with his kidneys and was going to the united states like a kind of a huge kind of he got operated at ucla or something right yeah it was yeah yeah it's a really good book yeah because i i read it when i was in japan a couple of years ago and it was um it was also very eye-opening and i remember just thinking where are the yakas i mean right it's just it's not really something that you have a experience of but i guess friends of mine who work there say that it's kind of on the periphery of quite a experience of but i guess friends of mine who work there say that it's kind of on the periphery of quite a lot of things especially people who work in the

restaurant industry yeah and like nightlife yeah it can it's definitely it's a presence yeah yeah all right let's uh let's take a quick break and we'll come back and we will get into cobalt mining and other forms of mining that kind of make a lot of the wonder technologies of our modern life possible and kind of some dark things that are up the supply chain behind your phone.

Hey! We're back. We are back. It's me. I said it. Not Jack, guys. I don't know if you caught that. Flawless impression.

It's pretty hard to tell the difference. It's me, known virgin, Jack O'Brien. Did she say known virgin? KV, baby, KV. It's me, smelly balls, Jack O'Brien. Smelly balls O'Brien. That's how I know him. Oh, shit.

Is that a child? You tell me, players. You tell me. A lot of accusations flying around these days. Oh, shit. Certified pedophile. Certified. A minor.

Wop, wop, wop, wop, wop. I like that. Wop, wop, wop, wop, wop. What a great song. All right. Let's check in with the Biden administration who are concerned about the incursion into RAFA and have paused a shipment of bombs, which progress. Technically unprecedented. Technically unprecedented.

Yeah. Technically, this hasn't happened since October 7th when Joe Biden is like, whatever y'all need, blank check, go ahead. It is wild to see what a shipment of bombs constitutes. Yeah. Jesus. Right. This is a shipment. A shipment of bombs.

They're like, you don't get your morning shipment. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. Thousands of bombs this is 1800 2000 pound bombs and 1700 500 pound bombs jesus christ and that's supposed to be i guess they're like the reasoning there being is like these are just too big for dense urban areas that we're really just worried about what they could do i mean we weren't worried up until now, but now we're looking at the polling and we're a little bit worried about that.

And Lloyd Austin, the secretary of defense, confirmed this Wednesday because first it was like apparently this happened last week. And he said, quote, We've been very clear from the beginning that Israel shouldn't launch a major attack into Rafah without accounting for and protecting the civilians that are in that battle space. And again, as we have assessed the situation, we have paused one shipment of high payload munitions we've not made a final determination on how to proceed with that shipment meaning okay so eventually you may hand it over is that yeah what can they do So what could they do to not,

to get their shipment of, like, massive bombs? Right, exactly. It's like, okay, now you can have your bombs. They have to say they're not going to use them on Rafa, and then... Hey, I promise I'm just going to use them. Oh, my God. What did you guys think we were going to do with them?

You guys are crazy. Are you serious? You guys are literally crazy. I can't believe you. Joe, you're tripping. Joe, you're tripping right now. Oh, my God. Did you hear what Joe said?

Come on, you know me. Come on, you know me. You knew I wouldn't do that. We can't have our cyber truck-sized bombs. Yeah, right. Exactly. Yeah. Because we has a red line.

I don't know. I mean, so this comes as the State Department prepares a report that, quote, examines whether Israel's war conduct is credibly in compliance with assurances that U.S seems that it might be a lot of contravention going on there, but that's just a hunch. I don't know if you need that full-on report, but that's just a hunch. And, you know, we're looking at over a million displaced Gazans in Rafah, right? And that was supposed to be a safe place for people to go. But now that Israel has seized the border crossing there, things are becoming increasingly dire.

And meanwhile, representatives of the Israeli government are saying that this pause in arms shipment could affect the ceasefire talks and it's like okay jan like it's been pretty clear that netanyahu has no intention of stopping this genocide so biden needs i mean i'm like biden needs to wake up i don't this dude is fucking asleep so i mean he's not sleepy he said he's a proud zionist yeah yeah right i mean in the sense like it's not gonna change or it doesn't i'm i'm sadly so fucking cynical that's why it makes it so difficult to watch you know the government just playing our faces like they give a fuck about the people in gaza and the west bank for like every 10 fucked up headlines about like new mass graves being

discovered and children being orphaned you get like one of these goofy ass headlines about how like joel biden privately wants the killing to stop or how biden has a red line that could shift u.s policy but we're close to 35 000 deaths already and it's fucking devastating that we know of that we know of exactly and it's just devastating to see this all unfold and like have to be implicit as Americans while simultaneously having yet another reminder that like the only people that get a wink of humanity in this world are those that look white. see the if they're if the line is crossed or whether or not but it yeah this is this is one of those headlines that i think they do to be like okay we know clearly the world the pressure is cranking up around the world about what is you know this this likely ground invasion of rafa and yeah what we're getting to sort of pacify us is one shipment of bombs paused like the fact that they're saying it could affect ceasefire talks like they're like we have all the weapons we need like you've already given us everything

we need right like they're this isn't strategically going to affect us like stop us from doing shit it sounds like i think where they're just sort of more they know they're like i mean i you know for them their calculus is more like we are just going to fucking flatten gaza we don't give a fuck and we don't give a fuck how that destabilizes the regime in the united states or whatever so it's like this it's just this really cruel back and forth but yeah cool ally yeah i also feel like they they made that announcement to like uh soothe the the students protesting yeah like they're that fucking stupid like, uh, soothe the, the students protesting. Yeah. Like they're that fucking stupid to be like, Oh my God,

they got one shipment paused. So I feel like they stopped the big bomb shipment. We can, everybody go home. Everybody go back to your dormitories. What the fuck do you guys want? That's the copter's name. What more do you need?

They're dropping, stopping one shipment. But I hear things are pretty frosty between jill and joe so yeah that's because his body because his body has expired that's why he's not sucking his dick or playing with his balls what happened no more did he specifically say that that's he just said like the key to a good marriage is good sex earlier this year did he say that he did say something like that and then everybody vomited yeah he's a he's a freak it's like yeah he looks like one of those remember in uh indiana jones in the last crusade when like the them king arthur fucking mummies come out and shit yeah

the one that's where he chooses unwisely and yeah yeah fades away that's kind of what that's the kind of vibe joe's giving me right now. Sarcophagal energy. He's giving off like sarcophagal vibes. Yeah. Sarcophagal. All right. RFK Jr. is,

we talked yesterday about how he landed the big Kevin Spacey endorsement. But now he is getting a little more attention because the New York Times just reported that back in 2012, during a deposition for his divorce case, he revealed that in 2010, he was experiencing memory loss and doctors thought he might have a brain tumor. But it turned out to be, according to Kennedy, this is according to him, the guy who's like, I should be president. According to that man, the reason he was forgetting things is, quote, a worm that got into my brain and ate a portion of it and then died.

That's what he thinks happened to his brain. Doctors don't think that happened doctors are like that's not a thing that's happened outside of a cartoon that we're aware of that's like a that's like a fuck boy lie to get sympathy from like a woman you're like but you don't even know girl like i don't remember because like in 2010 a fucking a worm went in my brain and ate it and died in there oh my god you should have told me that i know but it's like i didn't feel like i didn't want that i didn't want you to define me by that so i didn't want to tell you crazy yeah you're probably gonna leave me like everybody else does in my life I should just kill myself. This is so triggering for me.

I've fucked so many fuck boys. I'm just like, yeah, they did say some really dumb shit. You're like, wait, I've actually heard this one. Hold on.

Did he say a tapeworm ate his brain and died? They don't fuck RFJ. What's his name? RFJ. RFK Jr. RFKJ. RFJ, JK, FRP. rfj what's his name rfk junior rfkj jk frp the degree to which this guy knows he has like mental problems like brain problems because this is around the time that like he started going real hard on the i guess he's been like an anti-vaxxer for a while but it was like the time that like his ambition really picked up and like he's in this deposition saying quote i have cognitive problems clearly i have short-term memory loss

and i have longer term memory loss that affects me the other distances of memory are pretty strong though besides short term and longer than short term is that why he plays dumb like when he gets gotcha'd by journalists or like yo bro what about all that like 9-11 shit you were saying he's like i never said that because he doesn't because a worm ate that part of his memory that's what i'm saying like is that what he i'm trying to regulate if he legit has like his memories is fucked up and he's trying to blame a worm or he's this is a story to set up to give himself like plausible deniability. I don't know what the fuck you're talking about.

Yeah. People need to accept it. Like when you start aging, your memory goes like that's very normal. You can just say that. Yeah. Right. That's that's nobody cares. I mean, look at Biden.

He's doing just fine as our president. I think it helps. I think it because they don't have like the part of the brain that is like self-doubt like that that's one of the first things to go we're like well they're so successful we were all talking about them therefore they must know what they're doing and it's like no he's a person who is having so much trouble thinking straight that he thought a worm like ate part of his brain like a fucking cartoon apple i will also say he if he doesn't um win which he won't but he could definitely pitch a cartoon a conservative cartoon with a little worm as his little buddy right like brain worms is a thing right isn't

that a thing that conservatives scream about is like brainwarp. Like I feel like Alex Jones has talked a lot about that. But I just Jones is a brainwarp. Right. He's definitely I would not be shocked if he if he were the one person affected by brainwarp. I always think about Trump being like, if you don't get tested, we will. The numbers will remain low i always think about that logic that a lot of conservatives like attach themselves to of like well if we don't do if we don't know or don't do the thing like it doesn't exist it's like man what the fuck are you talking about that's what this feels like he's like i mean he's actively reclassifying deaths throughout the pandemic

just being like well we don't know that that's like that's that's wild to think about how bad how bad that shit was having him be the president during the pandemic but yeah yeah i just think like this is something that occurs to me like when you read stuff about world war ii and like hitler was like really dumb like he was just a person who was in like the like somebody was going to be that and he just happened to be the person in that position at that time and like this motherfucker is has a last name that is politically convenient and so there's going to be an entire like industry's worth of people trying to exploit his name and then he is just fueled by privilege and opportunism and i think his dimness both robs him of any like second thinking you know self-doubt and it also

makes him a good engine for like sniffing out the crazy shit that's going to appeal to like self-serious dumb dumb people as well. They're like, yeah, we got one of our own in there who thinks that the COVID vaccine is the biggest problem in America. I like the way he thinks.

Because that's how I think. God, we're doomed. It's not a great menu that we have to choose from in this election. I also wonder if the internet had existed when Hitler was alive. How quickly would his downfall have happened? Oh, yeah. Someone would have Kendricked him.

Right. You know what I mean? Somebody would have exposed him. And they'd have been like, I don't know, bro. And he slept through D-Day. Like, that's the, that shit just, like, I never forget. Like, he just, he wouldn't wake up before noon and, like, slept through D-Day during World War II. Like, that's.

They should have just given him a bunch of VCRs he could have disassembled when he was tweaking all night. Yeah. And they kept him distracted with that. It's like, yeah, man, why don't you open up that TV? See what's inside, man. Try and figure it out. Yeah. I was seeing 18 hours. Sicko's lullaby, D-Day. God damn. Yeah. And they kept him distracted with that. It's like, yeah, man, why don't you open up that TV? See what's inside, man. Try and figure it out. Yeah. I was seeing those

lullaby D-Day. God damn. What a weirdo. That's what's so wild though, too. And like people are being like, this isn't the tapeworm thing is

like bullshit. And they're saying it's most likely caused by mercury poisoning. Yeah. Kennedy didn't say he was sushi. That's what I'm saying.

You got the Jeremy Piven mercury poisoning pill. He got's what i'm saying you got the jeremy piven mercury he got the pivot because you got the pivot you got you were eating too much fucking sushi too much omakase like how many proof this story too it's like yeah bro i eat sushi like three times no rice too the white american diet no rice too many carbs yeah straight up just sashimi just sashimi all day. That's it. And it's like the physical form of affluenza, you know, like the people can get, get off from killing someone because they have affluenza.

Like their parents raised them to, you know, insulated from reality. Like the, the physical version of that is like mercury poisoning from too much sushi. Like, I just can't stop eating this stuff, your honor. Yeah.

Because he was, I mean, I Googled RFK sushi because I was just curious to see if, like, that's his shit. But the one headline I didn't find was, like, he was eating, like, sushi somewhere with, like, Alicia Silverstone. Oh, yeah. Oh, my goodness. They were talking it up anti-vax style. Oh. Yeah. What a disaster.

Yeah. Yeah. This is a depressing episode i mean they're all like they're all depressings and i don't think they all are pick your spots uh we'll pick something frivolous more frivolous please do but yeah it's just it is you know what bothers me is that as three of us all very smart capable human beings and we would never pursue politics because it's so fucking absurd to think like i'm gonna be in charge of you know a community of people and it's like it takes a real fucking weirdo and like every time these types of stories come out i'm just like yeah man like that's the kind of weirdo you have to be to be a politician and it's like even with aoc i remember being like i'm gonna i'm

gonna love her at the beginning because i know eventually it's gonna turn that's just that's normal that's just what happens and that is what's been happening and it's just one of those things you're just like man it doesn't matter if you do go in with good intentions because i mean i don't know if anybody goes in with good intentions but um i think with those student activists i'm always like hopeful that those students that are they are protesting now are gonna pursue politics because i feel like that's the only way that this shit is gonna change is like literal infiltration of like educated young progressive people yeah because if that's the game you need to be at the to have a seat at the table like you have to play the game differently because all of these people i was talking to somebody who like had worked for like like the white house like in the 70s and i was like what what the fuck is up

with like all these people and he's like i'm telling you they get in there and it's the coolest fucking job you've ever had like they're like yo you can't fucking tell nobody about this shit these are secrets like you're getting you got security like you're moving in like these armored cars and shit flying on air force one and it just people just get hooked on that sort of level of being important to the point that they're like okay well where am i where's my money coming from so i can run my next campaign i gotta fucking kiss the ring i gotta bend the knee then i'll do that versus people who are like we just need like a world war z type strategy of being like yeah man go in, go in, make the votes count.

If they fucking come in primary, you like we'll just put 17 more bodies up that are ready to go with nobody who gives a fuck about staying there and having like a dynastic run as a congressperson. Because everyone's calculus is just to it's like once you get there is just to stay there. To stay there. Yeah, I know. And that's what I think that's what poisons a lot of people on some level. And there's only a few people that are able to kind of, you know, it's like maybe three people that can even keep their principles. It's like a fucked up, like, a Twilight Zone version of fame. Right. Because, like, at least, like, fame, it just seems kind of cut and dry, you know?

And then, whatever, unless you fucking end up in Diddy's house, it just gets little more complicated but you know like that but that that's the the the dynamics that you're dealing with and then like to be like to want political fame feels insane yeah right yeah it feels like that is the thing that is most noteworthy about all of them is that they've made that decision to pursue that like that's the strangest thing about them. It's not like, oh, they're so much smarter. Right. They're like, well, they're smart. There are a lot of smart people in a lot of different industries.

The thing that is unique and defining about all the people in this is that they don't think it's weird that they're in charge of other people. You know? Right. And a lot of them, especially like with like kennedy it's like the they're self-funding so they're just like yeah i mean i can only imagine the type of i just speak about comics because that's my my world but like if comedians that are great actually had the money to self-fund the way like j-lo fucking self-funded that stupid fucking movie yeah 20 million dollars you know it's like bitch you can use that money for something good all right but it's just like it's that you know they perpetuates whatever it is that you want to

perpetuate and it's just such a bummer that principled people like don't want to be wealthy and don't want to like have a power over people which is good but it's just like fuck man how do we how do we really change all this shit you know exactly what you were saying it's like to have 17 people ready to fucking infiltrate that shit. Yeah, because that's the thing that gets people in line. You know, like they go, oh, you don't want to take this money from APAC? Well, guess what? Then we'll primary you. And it takes someone to be like, I don't give a, go ahead.

Yeah. Because we'll run somebody, I got fucking 35,000 people behind me that are ready to fucking also just be a body just to be a vote like not to be a career politician but to be a vote and i think that's like a paradigm shift that may or may not happen but i don't know like there's there's so many other factors at play seems exhausting yeah yeah i started re-watching veep and i'm just like so like yeah this has got to be what it's like this shit is so insane how could it not be this that's what all the political operatives were like this is the first time it's actually been accurate except like our insults aren't as good as their insults of course not they're not that smart in dc they call it hollywood for ugly people you know what i mean that's what they say

that's funny but the wild shit is like so with this rfk the thing that really fucking blows my mind right is like after this like brain worm shit like someone asked you know his campaign about being like yo this guy said he's got like he's saying yo i got cognitive issues right and they're like is this going to be a problem and the spokesperson said quote that is a hilarious suggestion given the competition right and they're so right that's what fucks me up and they're so right he's up against a decrepit monkey skeleton and a sentient racist diaper yeah and you're like yeah i don't know the motherfucker who ate too much sushi i guess who'd anti-vax i mean they didn't put it right that's what i'm saying that's so frustrating there's like much better you know qualified

smarter more intelligent more eloquent people but it's like they don't have the funding and it's like j-lo take that 20 million and fund someone interesting to get into politics i just i just everything feels insane well just that movie is timeless that's gonna be a museum shut the fuck up jack o'brien that part yeah yeah with with fucking post malone being one of the fucking whatever the i couldn't even get through i think i got through the second song and i was like yeah i'm not doing this this is insane yeah post malone's in the movie? Yeah. He plays like, there's like a, there's like a council of the Zodiac symbols and like people

are like embodying them. Yeah. No, I watched it. It's just, he disappears into his roles so much that I couldn't deal with him. Smelly balls. Get it together. I thought it was pre Malone. The other thing is like, yeah, I think hopefully more people just understand, right, that with our the illusion of having primaries and things like that, it's truly what the ruling class wants to put on the menu for us.

You know, I'm like, because there are so many progressive people that have tried to run, get bodied out. You see what happens to like, you know, every nearly every election cycle, there's someone who's like has a message that is trying to go against the status quo and it's just like well you know let's pretend uh you know i'll fuck him get him out of here you know what also i'll say to that too i have a friend who's voted third party as long as i've known her and she's a civil rights lawyer like she's about it about it right and i have never like looked down on her when she would do that because i was like that's fucking her choice you get to fucking make whatever choice she wants but with this round where like i've been telling people like i don't know i don't know what i'm gonna do like i'm gonna obviously vote for all the other shit i was like but i don't know i think i'm just gonna leave it blank for you know the president

because i just i feel i feel insane i don't feel principled i mean i don't feel like it's principled and uh i have gotten so many condescending responses to that and i'm just like and i ended up texting my friend that again has been voting third party since she's been able to i asked her if i've ever been a condescending dickhead to her because i've never experienced i've never i've never thought about voting third party or just not voting for you know the democrat um and so uh i've been talking to people about that and yeah everyone's so rude anyways she was like no you've never been that way and i was like thank god i was like i i mean logically it makes no sense but it just made me glad that i

was never that person because it just it feels so insane that people are just they have no desire to think that change or improvement can exist like it it's an option. Like it's just not an option for people. And I find it so it's, it's really disheartening. I guess I just want to say that. I mean, I think it also speaks to a level of comfort someone is experiencing when you can look at all these things on the horizon.

And for many people, they're like, yo, this looks like this ends with me being imprisoned or having rights severely restricted. And they're like, no, I've been good.

I'll probably be good. And then they're like, don't fuck this up for me. And, you know, that's why I think it's, this is such a fucking precarious election, man, because everything that's happening resonates with so many different people in so many dimensions. And like for all the hand wringing about like, you know, the fascism that Donald Trump is going to bring,

which I understand it's, it can be a completely different dimension, but like we are seeing even with the way this like the police are behaving with students you look at in the 60s like in the 70s like these vietnam protests there was no militarized response off the fucking bat like there is now that's like this is this is completely different shit like they would have time travelers been like oh shit they're doing all like that already right they're like you know it's like it's anyway the times are very different and i think that's what just makes it very hard to like think about how how things improve and what the the pathway there is and like yeah the other times when i talk to like people who do a lot of like activist work, like in the streets and stuff and doing like working for like nonprofits and things are like, they're like, I think my job would be a lot harder if Trump's in office because they'll, you know, the kinds of shit that they would try and make illegal would make it really hard for me to work with like very vulnerable people.

And it's just like, there's so many, there's so many, there's so many things to consider. Yeah. But yeah, it's. But I think everybody's going through it and we shouldn't be condescending to each other on what... It's also just what a terrible way to approach any conversation that someone is trying to have sincerely.

You can't actually have a conversation about this. You need to be a dickhead off jump. It isn't the daily zeitgeist and you're not a guest. You can't just do that. Sorry for the dog barking. I'm dog sitting if we didn't already know.

No, no, no. Cochina's crazy. Oh, really? She know? Cochina. Cochina. Yeah. Cochina.

All right. Should we take a break and come back and talk about Jerry Seinfeld's weird movie? Fuck. Yeah, yeah. That's a bumper.

I'm Keri Champion, and this is season 4 of Naked Sports, where we live at the intersection of sports and culture. Up first, I explore the making of a rivalry, Kaitlyn Clark versus Angel Reese. I know I'll go down in history. People are talking about women's basketball just because of one single game. Every great player needs a foil. I ain't really near them boys. I just come here to play basketball every single day, and that's what I focus on. From college to the pros, Clark and Reese have changed the way we consume women's sports. Angel Reese is a joy to watch.

She is unapologetically black. I love her. What exactly ignited this fire? Why has it been so good for the game? And can the fanfare surrounding these two supernovas be sustained? This game is only going to get better because the talent is getting better. This new season will cover all things sports and culture. Listen to

Naked Sports on the Black Effect Podcast Network, iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. The Black Effect Podcast Network is sponsored by Diet Coke. And we're back and at this point boeing and terrible publicity are like they go together like peanut butter and chocolate i'm gonna say like sardine and pretzel the two famous combinations yeah if sardine and pretzel or peanut butter and chocolate products were constantly falling apart 30,000 feet in the air. But Boeing has now locked out 125 of their

unionized firefighters in Washington state. The union claims Boeing has saved billions in insurance costs by employing its own onsite firefighters, but they're still paying these firefighters a pittance. Their proposed pay increase for these workers would mean that crews would be, quote, earning 20 to 30 percent less than firefighters in the cities where Boeing plants are located. So you're taking less money to be a firefighter. You're taking less money, but you get the joy of working for Boeing, basically an arms manufacturer who also

has a side hustle where they make the planes that you fly around in. But yeah, it'd be like if Richie Rich paid the employees of his private McDonald's 30% less than the employees not working in a child's mansion. Any other Richie Rich fans out there?

No. I mean, the Macaulay Culkin version? Yeah. Yeah. Doesn't, did Barbra Streisand have a McDonald's in her basement? I know she had a mall, but I don't know what the food court situation was. I think it is a McDonald's. Yeah.

I wonder what their pay was like compared to, like. She's probably got clones or something working in there. A couple of clone dogs and shit. Trained clones. Yeah. But yeah, Boeing wants firefighters to extend the time it takes for firefighters to hit the top pay scale to 19 years. Up from 14, the union is asking for five. up from 14 the union is asking for five and they're like uh how about we take your five and add it to the already insulting that is such a hopeless situation we've put you in they're

probably like oh we misunderstood i thought oh okay you didn't want the five you don't want five more okay it's like they're trying to incentivize people to keep their planes falling out of the sky. You know what I mean? It's like, why don't you like treating their employees so terribly is just incentivizing them to do a shitty job on every aspect of plane production. Yeah. Especially the people that, you know, like the firefighters. Yeah. Presumably at the facility.

Like, oh, would that one just get a little bit singed yeah yeah put it in put it in it's good it's good we're good yeah it's air flight i mean the ai is gonna replace firefighters anyways guys so i don't know what we're even talking about you know people you know people are talking like that right now oh yeah the people in boeing can you imagine like that yeah even get a fucking need pilot? Are you kidding me? Have you seen this Chad GPT thing? What the fuck do you think autopilot is, motherfucker? Dude, we're so fucking close.

We're going to get those inflatable guys from the movie Airplane. Yeah, right. Yeah, exactly. You like gladiator movies? The sex golf. Yeah. So they're locking out trained firefighters which might seem like a pretty huge safety risk but not to worry because they're bringing in a fleet full of highly qualified scabs oh boy they're also currently in talks with the international association of

machinists and aerospace workers district 751 andet Sound, who want not just better wages, but a greater say in the company and high standards of safety for Boeing manufacturing. Yeah, good luck. Standards of safety. If they follow the same negotiating tactic, they'll start

sprinkling rusty nails around the super dangerous shit everywhere. Yeah. Just loose bags of tetanus somehow. How do we make it more, less safe? Yeah. How'd you get tetanus in a bag?

Loaded guns with no safety mechanism or whatever. Just lying around the plane. Yeah. Inside like a paint can shaker. Yeah. Yeah. Just put those in there. You should be right. You'll be right. Just drop them next to you and you have to remember not to grab them because switchblades and machetes just yeah. And around think fast. I got his ass. God, what are scabbed firefighters even like?

Like, you know, like, who are these guys? They're like out-of-work firefighters or something? Like, isn't, you know, like, I'm even like trying to wrap my head around, like, I mean, I get that there are private firefighting brigades because that's like where like half of the people in Malibu use those kinds of fucking people or in Calabasas. Right, right. So I just answered my own question. It's like those. Privatize firefighters, please. Yeah. Thank you. alabaster right oh so i just answered my own question it's like those privatized firefighters please thank you i just i i have to hope they're not as hot as regular firefighters yeah yeah much shittier firefighters a little heavier not nearly as sexy not teeth not as white you know yeah budget first perfect handlebar mustaches perfect They don't have Dalmatians.

They have kind of like sick looking like wiry mutts. Yeah, right. Exactly. Yeah. Like Christine Ohm's puppy. Yeah. Speaking of which. Christine Ohm.

Speaking of which. How's she doing? Oh, man. Well, puppy side lady is now getting destroyed by her own. Very sad. No. Just briefly checking back in because this is somehow the ghost written book that keeps on giving. But she had pretty easy interviews with most conservative outlets early on in like the dog killing controversy.

But recently that has not been the case. In the last day, she's had some pretty hard interviews like on Fox Business. She went to speak with Stuart Varney and he pretty much was unrelenting and trying to get her to admit that maybe it was a bit of a fuck up to include that weird shit in her book about just being like, yeah, I fucking kill dogs. But this is what the fuck I do because I'm tough. If they fuck with me, I will put them down. I don't give a fuck if they're 14 months old. You're talking about a puppy, right? No, I'm talking about a dog. She gets in an argument with him where she's like, you're talking about a puppy.

She's like, well, no, it's a dog. It's an adult working dog. It's like 14 months. She's like, yeah. Yeah, that's right. And he's like, oh, fuck. It's when my kids went to work, so what? Yeah, but it was like this interview was part like, let me help you out of this shitstorm.

Here's an opportunity for you to right the ship, maybe do a mea culpa. One part, let me just make this freak squirm. So after going back and forth on the topic for a couple minutes, they switched topics to talk about like plumbers and stuff and electricians in South Dakota. And then he came right back asking if she still thought she had a fucking shot at being VP. And this is where like, it got a little bit contentious. Oh, you're getting the unvarnished truth.

Here we go. Do you still think that you are in line to be Trump's vice president? It's up to Donald Trump. He's the only person who will decide this. He's the only person who will decide. And I spoke. Yes, I do speak to him.

May I ask what he said to you about being vice president? No, I never tell anybody my personal conversations with President Trump. Did the dog story come up in your conversation with Trump? I talk to President Trump all the time. About the dog? About a lot of things. And right now, I tell you what, he is being persecuted in a political hunt, witch hunt in this court case.

So I'm proud of him about how tough he is and how well he is doing. Did you bring up the dog? Yes. Enough, Stuart. Did you bring up the dog? Yes, enough, Stuart. This interview is ridiculous, what you are doing right now. So you need to stop. It is. Okay.

It is. Let's talk about some real topics that Americans care about. I'm afraid we're out of time. Oh, well, of course we are. We do thank you for being with us. I know I pressed hard. But the dog, though? I like how she's so slippery with this shit that it's not

like you've spoken to donald trump she goes i speak to donald trump so no you know what i mean like doing that kind of you know fucking with tense there just to be like i'm gonna dodge the question so yeah you hear that just stewart enough you're fucking flaming me on fox this isn't supposed to happen you're supposed to act like that was cool shit i did and then she got fucking bodied the same day on newsmax when some guy rob finnerty apparently this guy's name started off saying i think you were probably like he starts off this appearance by saying i think in the beginning you were like at the probably at the top of the list for vp options but after this shit book i don't think you're even in the convo my lady and then

he this what this time he's pressing her about that fake ass meeting with kim jong-un which again never fucking happened and she won't quite admit that it never happened and that's where it gets a little again that's where this one gets awkward. Her publisher has admitted it didn't happen because they've gone and said, we had to go back to that. Of course, they don't blame her. We had to talk to the ghostwriter and the editor and change a couple things. Wow.

So the governor doesn't even vet the shit that goes in the book? Because that might be a problem, too. It was a really bad ghost bad ghostwriter well and then he starts off by saying he's like you know i think the big problem right now politicians is they lie and she's like yeah yeah he's like so what about kim jong-un answer with that uh and this is again where this is a little bit further into the conversation but he's still just not letting it go that she won't admit that she did not meet Kim Jong-un. Ask for the content to be changed, and it has been. Governor, I'm not asking you about the details of this alleged meeting. I'm asking if the meeting actually happened. I don't think

it did. And I think if it did, you'd be able to confirm for me that, yes, it did. And here's when it happened. It happened, say, at such and such a date or a month, or you don't have to be specific. I'm not going to talk about my conversations with Will Davis. You're going to continue to have to answer this question. I don't think so, because the average American citizen is more worried about the border. They're more worried about what we see in a White House. Then you're lying? It's such a weird pivot.

And it's always like, you know, they're always turning it around on brown people. That's right. Actually, you know what they could do? They actually actually hate mexicans i think she should double down on this thing she i think she should come prepared with a photograph of her like like riding piggyback on kim jong-un yeah right i mean they're like they're both like they're like they're both a family who like refused to honor his name or something. Yeah. She's like, Governor, can I see your hands for a moment?

Yes. Here. OK, so it looks like you have five fingers now in this photo. You have 17 fingers on your right. Is this a I? I. She goes on. She's wearing one of the dresses from the from the Met Gala.

Misled the American people over 150 times. And nobody pushes him on what he says, that he was imprisoned with Nelson Mandela, that he drove an 18 wheeler, that his uncle was in prison. Biden said he was in prison with Nelson Mandela? Is that a real thing? Honestly, probably.

I mean, at this point, fucking probably. Yeah, just like fucking a jumble up there. Yeah. And I would like to see that the American people know and recognize the difference that they want leaders who actually will go forward and give them a way that they can elect people who want to represent them and fight for them. Governor, that's a very good point. And I'm not deliberately trying to be adversarial. I just Donald Trump winning in November is very important.

Yes, it is. And I think that whoever he chooses to be his running mate, and again, I think at one point you were at the top of that list, but you're going to get questions a lot more difficult than that. The thing that's very interesting to me is the only person who will decide. Yeah, it's Donald Trump. He said that in the last interview. But anyway.

Yeah. Just you hate to see it. You hate to see it. It's just funny when you're so clear, like, Michael Jordan was at my birthday party. And you're like, oh, really? Yeah. I don't think he was, though, right?

I don't think he was. Yeah. That seems really unlikely. I don't know if the other kids in schools are going to like that. Well, you know what? They don't care because they're worried about the fact that the tater tots are so bad in the cafeteria. Right. Okay?

Thank you. That won't matter to them. Next question, Rob. Please. Yeah. I don't know where she is. God. Okay? Thank you. That won't matter to them. Next question, Rob. Please. Yeah, I don't know where she... God. I mean, again, I don't think I've ever seen her

in motion before. She really seems like an evil character being played by Christina Applegate. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

She seems like the substitute teacher who slept with one of the students to ruin their lives. Just to ruin the kid's life. All right. Finally, the Met Gala. We can't go much further, guys.

Of everything that's happening. Everything that's happening. We would be remiss to not talk about the Met Gala. We would be so super remiss not to mention the Met Gala where most of the pictures that I saw were AI, which is so insulting to the stylists. Somebody made up by being like, turn Katy Perry into a character from a Lord of the Rings slash fic thing. Yeah. Like got more clicks than anyone. It's like a bronze bustier with a... Bronze bustier with a key.

Secret garden key. Yeah. Secret garden key down the middle. Garden of time. I don't know if you remember that being the thing. And then a tattoo. Tut to to like made of flowers it's lady gaga became a layer cake that defied physics look like the guggenheim in new york i was gonna say yeah look like the guggenheim is bleeding flowers yeah from its seams and that's lady gay gaga lady gaga and then uh rihanna of course looking like

a chair that the pope would sit in slash you know that thing when people do embroidery like you have to put it in that like circular wooden yes yeah yeah that's like stretch frame for embroidery wearing that and has 17 fingers on her right hand. But these are these are photos like of the photos that I saw from the Met Gala. These were the ones that stuck in my head, I think. And, you know, I probably glanced past like a dozen on social media, you know, as I was trying to follow the results of the minnesota timberwolves just beating the shit out of the defending champs how have we gone this long without mentioning it don't worry i don't want to sorry that's the craziest game i've seen we have a whole other

show where we can yeah i guess we'll talk about that on our nba podcast but the yeah like these were the ones that popped up that i remembered. So I don't know. Now I'm scared of AI again, guys. Sure. No, I love how unbelievable those are. It looks, I'm expecting one of like J-Lo's face in front of the Thomas the Tank Engine. You know what I mean? J-Lo stuns the Thomas Tank Engine.

Like one of the kids from Euphoria, but they're like, their like their faces all it's in the moon or something just like completely unbelievable shit yeah holy shit yeah these are whatever man this is where we're at this is a met gala ai i guess like i said november this summer is gonna get real fucking weird and i'm sure the gloves come off for political more political misinformation and disinformation oh my god can you imagine when they have trump in this copper bustier with the key running down the middle it's gonna fuck up the internet and everyone over 45 believes it's true automatically like they there's such a generational divide they just can't i mean i have difficulty telling with a lot of them, but then there are people who just have no idea.

Yeah. On the internet, it has to be true. Yeah. From now on, it's just like you have to assume nothing is true. Yeah. Yeah. You just have to look. It's always like, look at the hands, look at the background.

There's a certain things that have like give that, you know, tell on them a bit. Some of the photographers, one guy has a head so long he looks like what are the what are the aliens the technical term for the aliens and alien xenomorph xenomorph this dude has a xenomorph dome yeah uh but somehow he's looking at like a i don't know like an ancient camera whatever hey man rihanna looks great rihanna you look great and also you look like this photo was from when you were, like, 24. Yeah, yeah. So that's the other thing that I think the way they got my old ass is, like, they focused on celebrities that I'm familiar with and, like, the time that they were at their peak of fame and just, like, put them in pictures with, like, this year's met galatheum i was like oh there we go i'm still i

my interests are still relevant like meanwhile like nobody yeah rihanna looks great paul abdul in a beautiful dress that was my uh crush when I was in elementary school. I can't believe what Kathy Ireland came to in the Met Gala. Unbelievable. Unbelievable outfit. Cindy Crawford looks great. I mean, it was Garden of Time, you know.

Time is a flat garden. And so it wouldn't have surprised me if a young Paul Abdul showed up. All right. That's going to do it for this week's weekly Zeitgeist.
