Isn't that one? A Zeit Winfendel? I like a nice white Zinfandel. Isn't that one? A Zeitwinfandel? Oh, no. I'm not a sommelier. Sommelier? Hey, this thing's smellier. Alright, that's a terrible joke for the day. With that, I've been out. Thanks. That's a Canadian sommelier.

This thing's smellier. I feel like that could be a good joke. Cut and print. In Canadian, Crocodile Dundee, whatever that is. All right. I guess that would be like moose guy, whatever. Fuck it. We have enough things going on that I don't have to figure out this new IP for someone to steal.

Right. All right. Yeah, we'll work on that offline. Yeah, yeah, offline, offline. Let's tell the people what's trending right now. We got Caitlin Bennett, who is Kent State gun girl. Yep.

What is she doing? She pulled up to the University of Central Florida. She graduated from college, right? Yeah. She graduated. And like this, her whole career has just been going to colleges and like trolling people with her. Yeah. With her, you know, like just out there, white supremacy.

And just pick any fucked up take you can have. Like whether I mean like, you know, there's someone was there was something about the Holocaust. Like, I don't know, six million people died. Like, you know, that kind of shit. Yeah. She where did she go? Yeah. She went to Kent State.

That was a thing. That's why she became Kent State gun girl, because I think it was her graduation photo. Yeah. She was posing with her gun and everyone's like, oh, cool. We found a new culture war warrior with her like you know religious mom hair that's way too long so yeah she went to ucf and just you know because she does like her troll shit on the internet and gets on her mic and wants to do talk around i think the topic du jour was probably mask wearing but she picked the wrong campus it seems uh because no one was fucking

having it when she was there like i don't know if she thought that because it's florida and like older people or couldn't like there it's it's a mixed bag there this campus was definitely not uh there was no overlap with i mean there might have been but the people who came out to confront her definitely surely outnumbered the people that were there to even support or defend her to the point where she was like chased off the campus had to hide in a bagel shop the police had to come like walk her out um all because she wants to antagonize people during a very tense period in american history so yeah as they say fuck around and find out her bodyguard who's clearly carrying a torch for her uh was throwing throwing hands just punching like people who look like

children total chad yeah total chad but just punching children who were someone definitely caught a straight right to the face uh based on one of the clips i saw but yeah this is uh yeah i don't i don't know i wonder what that does for someone like her like if she when she has to like literally scram into the like a electrical room or like storage room at a einstein bagels while like waiting for the police she's like exactly man i'm getting through them exactly like they need this to understand she's like well i think she thinks she's showing that liberals are extremists, and this just shows how over-the-top liberals are. She would definitely say, see, this is exactly my point. Sure.

And there's a picture of her gesturing towards the crowd with her chad of a bodyguard standing next to her. But deep down, it's got to kind of shake her feeling of safety, at least that she can just come out and be a Nazi in public and, you know, just get away with it. Just feel okay. I mean,

the way, the way that people react to her, you know saying things that represent a point of view that uh is basically fully white supremacist fully uh doubting their right to exist as human beings uh the fact that they react negatively to that i see why she has had success because there's it's like she just by existing is like a affront is like a an act of aggression uh towards towards the people who she encounters and so therefore you know ben shapiro and people like that can be like, look at how they react to this fine young Christian woman. But she's a white supremacist. It's like walking around with a Nazi armband on.

Yeah, and that doesn't cause any problems that I can tell. Yeah. Except for that one guy who's like, oh, take it off. And it's like, too late, dude. Too late. Too late. All right. Let's talk about chad wolf another chad they're sick literal fucking chad bro yeah bro a literal chad wolf oh man um yeah new whistleblower got another whistleblower

fire it up um i feel like whistleblower though now communicates something like uh we don't need to give a shit about this because we already had the the damningest of whistleblowers uh and it just like went away i mean trump damn fucking not he blew the whistle on himself right damn near throated the whistle uh because he was just out here get you know cornering himself with his own words but yeah this again this is what's so fucked up about where we're at right now that we are had we're going through actual like minefields of news and the status quo has been completely upended completely and now like we're sort of casual about a story about where they're like oh yeah like the president is getting like department of homeland security to basically

like obscure any intelligence reports so people don't like know what's actually going on yeah and they're they're downplaying threats that are so this was a kind of a new wrinkle here uh they're downplaying complaints and threats uh about, about Russia interference in the election, which we've like, they've just been openly doing that. But one thing that, uh, was at least new as,

as far as like something that they're caught intentionally doing is they're downplaying, uh, white supremacist terror activity. Um, so like the mainstream media is covering that aspect as though it's on par with them covering up Russia interference. But, like, Russia isn't actively conducting mass murder in the United States like white supremacists are. They're not infiltrating our armed forces and our police force.

So that's I feel like the white supremacist thing should maybe be a bigger deal. I feel like the white supremacist thing should maybe be a bigger deal that the president is actively in collusion with the biggest terror threat to the safety of Americans. Yeah. Well, I mean, again, this is when you've got your lizard brain on sicko mode, you're just going to be like, fuck it. If I got a bang with them to stay out of jail, that's what I'm going to do. Yeah. And it's like holding a wolf by the ears, as the andrew jackson said is that something that he actually said i believe that was one of his metaphors about slavery oh nice yeah very cool andrew jackson yeah cool yep um vince vaughn uh was trending earlier because there's a... Sorry, Thomas Jefferson.

Much better. How foolish of me. One of the great men. One of our greats. By the way, the sky is turning yellow outside. I don't know if that's the same deal where you are right now. Mine's more of a stucco off brown. But I'm seeing the world outside of my house turn a

color that I don't think I've seen it turn. For those of you who don't have the pleasure of living in a modern hellscape, it becomes... It's funny how intense it is, but because it's part of our... It's like pumpkin

spice latte season for people in California. It's like, yeah, it's fire of our it's like pumpkin spice latte season right for for people in california it's like yeah it's fire season i don't know and it gets fucked up but we're sort of like yeah man this one's hitting a little bit differently now yeah like even though the last ones have been hitting fucking way different every subsequent season uh gets more intense but has nothing to do with climate change. Nothing. I'm not going to get too caught up in that. The colors are changing and the air is smokier than a Willie Nelson concert at the White House.

More on that later though. Yeah, more on that tomorrow. Vince Vaughn is trending because he's starring in a new Blumhouse horror movie that looks fun. It is basically he's the killer in a slasher movie. And when he kills his first victim, he and his victim change places like a body switcheroo so the little the young like high school girl becomes is now the killer and uh vince vaughn is now the high school like has the spirit of the high school girl

inside his body and so it's like a horror movie mixed with it's kind of a great comedy yeah oh it's a comedy it's a comedy yeah yeah oh okay it's a horror comedy got it got it got it got it i was like um okay i feel like i would just be laughing at that idea yeah it is it's very silly i i have to assume i mean the trailer plays it for laughs. But it was wild. So I was like, damn, who came up with this premise and got this made? It's Christopher Landon, who is the writer-director of Happy Death Day, I think. And Happy Death Day 2U, the sequel. And this dude is Michael Landon's son.

Are you serious? Yeah. It's like, it's like Hollywood is just like, it's might as well be the mafia. It is. People don't know Bonanza little house on the Prairie. Fucking Michael Landon,

a highway to heaven. Do you remember that show? I mean, I know, I know of it, but I've, I never saw it. I think the only thing I saw were clips of Little House on the Prairie wasn't Todd

Bridges in it like wasn't it one of his first roles like like a little house I'm like yeah it's like some racism thing where he's like trying to explain what it's like to be like a young black child to Michael Landon or some shit I don't know I'm mixing it all up it all sounds like really great TV mm-hmm anyways if

you want to make it in Hollywood... Check your last name and then mash that up with IMDB and if that ain't your parent or grandparent, get the fuck out of town. Or pretend. The type of people who succeed con artists

and then people succeeding off of nepotism. Yeah. But anyways, this Vince Vaughn movie, I think will be fun. I'm looking forward to it. Anything that'll help me forget his conservative politics, I'm all in for.

Yeah, I had forgotten that until you just said that. I figured. Never mind. I mean, whatever. What are you going to fucking do? It's not like you're fucking voting for Trump at this point. I mean are you uh you know i have on the fence totally yeah i'm still i'm definitely undecided like i'm leaning biden you know but like have you met people who are acting like the election hinges on their decision like you know i'm just i'm i'm deciding i'm still i'm

still thinking about it and i'm, I don't know anyone personally, but I've heard this about people complaining about their parents. Yeah. And I'm like, damn, I'm like, hey, I'm just going to let you know your parents are voting for Trump. Right. Yeah, if they're saying that at this point. They just love you enough to pretend that they're tortured over it.

There's literally nothing that could be done at this point to stop someone from, like, what would trump have to do he would have to defund the police embrace uh racial equality income equality that's all it is because you know like i see all these takes from like european people on twitter they're like i just don't understand what is it at this point what more information could you possibly need to understand this man is vile and putrid and it's just sort of like well here's the deal some people they're just in it for the you know de facto white supremacy and as long as that that's the that's the top of their hierarchy of

needs but they can't articulate that so all they know is like well as long as that's not fucked with like things like sexual assault or gross man's like negligent manslaughter isn't a problem it's like the same way if you like love an artist or musician you don't give a fuck what like team they support even if it is like the enemy of your team or like if they hate some fucking food he's like you don't give a fuck i like the music all the other shit is irrelevant because the thing i love is this one thing and for that it's de facto white supremacist yeah i think the sexual assault and the misogyny probably ties into some some of the stuff that they oh absolutely like it's not that it doesn't uh affect what they but i guess here's the thing part of what they get out of it if he started embracing policies

that were well i guess yeah if you really are given like you are like becoming pro-choice and things like that that would prop that would that would fuck them up a bit yeah yeah a lot but i don't know what would be worse pro-choice or defunding the police yeah probably defunding the police because i feel like there's conservatives who aren't who still might not be as up on the thing of then like being like well we just can't have thugs running wild right i mean who's gonna stop the the ravenous i mean the thugs who's gonna stop those ravenous uh college students when you go hide in a bagel store when you're running away from them yeah your boyfriend you met on 4chan your boyfriend from 4chan and the police the police eventually showed up and you know we're protecting that door uh and then finally jane fonda is trending uh i think a lot of people are just like realizing how uh like her politics

were basically our modern politics but she was outspoken in like the 60s and 70s right um and uh she also recently i think she's publishing a book that uh there was a review yesterday that pulled a quote where she talked about activism having saved her from depression um which i don't know i think there's something important to that idea like absolutely especially now when we live in like a bleak, depressing world. And, you know, she lived in a pretty bleak and depressing world with, you know, white supremacy even more out in the open and accepted back then. And also the Vietnam War. Homophobic violence. Homophobic violence vietnam war and she she protested to uh you know for the rights of the innocent people uh of vietnam and was labeled hanaway jane who said he won yeah i don't know

fucking innocent people what the fuck what are you talking about but it's kind of getting out there and you know not avoiding discomfort not just well yeah i think you know to your point about activism being helpful like activism or whatever but not it's obviously a dark place right now where you can feel completely overwhelmed and just think like well everything it's a wrap right that's a wrap and i'm just gonna have to be front row at the hate show uh and just watch it all go down but yeah like you know at that, most people fork off to like you can either destroy things if you feel powerless or you can try and re garner or to sort of reaffirm your ability to affect change or do something positive. So even if it's a little thing, go donate some. Just do you can do little things.

It can really help a lot so yeah yeah shout out to Jane Fonda shout out to her workout tapes and then fuck the other three Caitlin Bennett Chad Wolf and Vince Vaughn yeah but shout out to Jane Fonda's workout tapes

and also fuck Vince Vaughn's workout tapes yeah they don't fucking work and i still haven't got my money back yeah my body just looks like vince vaughn's body now and yeah that's uh actually what i was going for but yeah i mean i should have known with the punny title of his workout tapes shredding thrashers uh just about getting shredded up through his new workout technique. It didn't work. That's good, man. Wedding Crashers ref.

Love it. Loving it. How about this one? Potato? Potato? That's a deep cut for any Wedding Crashers fans out there. I don't even know that one. That's when Christopher Walken is speaking his juvenile child language with Isla Fisher when they go to the house. Anyway, it's a deep cut.

That's for people who watched too much Wedding Crashers and ruined their brains in 2005. You ever read a... There's a profile of them. I think it was done by the New Yorker. And it was when they were doing the startup movie. Oh, yeah. Where they're like interns or some shit yeah the yeah I forget what is that called that's not the startup is it um but anyways it's just so funny internship is the internship it's so funny how they're being asked about like the tech industry and they've they are suffering from an extreme case of

uh famous since before the uh internet era and they're just like oh i don't really do computers i have an assistant for that um type stuff it's great uh anyways's going to do it for today.
