Hey and welcome to tomorrow, I'm your host Josh Wachipolski. Today on the podcast we discussed pumpkin carving, a lot of Delray, and hate crimes. I don't always one minute. Let's get ready to do it. Alright Ryan, we're back another week, another fun show week, the week of Halloween, the spookiest week of the year. Only week I enjoy. It's the best. I mean, Halloween is the best and I have to tell you something as a man and as a father

and as a human, a human person. Halloween is great and when you have a kid, I highly recommend having a kid for this one reason. I think I've already talked about this recently but you really get to enjoy all the things that, you know, they lose a little bit of their lustre as an adult. You know, Halloween has been commoditized by the man. It's been abused, used and abused by the powers that be. And being able to experience Halloween again through the eyes of a child is truly the Lord's blessing on him. I've never really, really fallen off of my Halloween enjoyment,

but I'll take your word for it. Well, you know, it's just like, you know, it's just like adults are worried about different things on Halloween, you know? Yeah, hooking up. Like, who are they gonna bang, right? Like, is their costume sexy enough? Or it's more like enough of a conversation topic

that they're gonna get late? Whereas kids generally don't think that way. You know, they're like, not often. They're legitimately interested in spooky things. And in trick-or-treating, we went in trick-or-treating a second year in a row, like in like a neighborhood. And it's really fun.

It's like weird. You know, it's like everybody's out with people wearing costumes. I mean, you know what it's like in New fun. It's like weird. You know, it's like everybody's out that people wearing costumes. I mean, you know, it's like in New York. It's like Halloween nights always interesting. But we actually, our anniversary was on Saturday. So we were at the Saturday proceeding Halloween. So we were actually in the city hanging out.

It was rainy, so it wasn't that fun. But like on a nice night, New York City on Halloween is super fun. I didn't, of course, didn't go out on Halloween night, did you? I hosted a storytelling show. Oh, right. That's right. You had a thing. Yeah. And was that fun? Yeah, I was dressed as Sabrina, the Teenage Witch, and John went dressed as Harvey, and it was very, very fun. I forgot how much fun I have doing these storytelling shows. Everybody that came told very good stories and it was a lot of fun.

I love those shows because I have to be funny for like five minutes and then like in 30 second chunks introducing people and everybody else just gets to do the work for me. And then at the end, everyone's like, you did such a great show. And I'm like, I didn't really do anything to buy this wig. So. Yeah. Well, no, I saw your costume on Instagram. By the way, I'm losing my voice a little bit

from all my hoot and hollered on Halloween. I saw your costume on Instagram. I thought it was great. I've been watching Sabrina, the teenage witch, and the new one. Chelling adventures. Yeah, the Chelling Avengers is a brainer, whatever the fuck it's called, man.

And you know, listen, I, I don't know, I have mixed feelings, you know, I have, it's a little bit, I don't know. You said I got good in the fourth episode and I feel like I watched the fourth episode didn't feel anything particularly. Oh, I love it so much. Michelle Gomez's hair is the star of the show

and then there's also some teenagers getting magic and I'm obsessed with it. I've watched it like three times now. We wrote a really good, we have a new editorial intern, Rosemarie Ho, and she wrote a piece called Every Generation Get the Devil It Deserves, which I recommend.

And it's about the Chilean Avengers Sabrina and how like our modern version of like the devil and all these kind of past like popular culture iterations of the devil. And it's really smart and fun and interesting. And I highlighted that. The best portrayal of the devil is Elizabeth Hurley in the movie Be Dazzled,

the remake from like 2001 or 2002. She's excellent in that movie, that whole movie is great and under-examined. And that was very formative, version of Satan for me, because she was fun and cheeky and rebellious. And there's lots of outfits Interesting I

Haven't seen it because I don't watch There's early movies and less Hugh Grant is in them Wow shade and as we all know that ain't happened and no more Due to their divorce and his banging of a hooker I guess hookers not a term you use anymore. I said it, I was like, that's the sound right. He used the money she made from that whole press cycle and really transformed her life in a beautiful way

if you actually look up her story. Divine Brown was her name, right? Yeah, it's worth researching. She's an interesting character. I take back the use of the term hooker. Though in the old days, that's what she said. You know, that is what you said. I mean, that's what they said at the time.

In my youth, right, in my youth, people were like, she's a hooker or whatever, you know. I guess prostitute, I mean, people don't say prostitute anymore. I mean, we say sex worker, the general public says prostitute. Yeah. Right.

You like, if a Republican candidate was caught with one, they would call it a prostitute. Yeah. Right. If a Republican candidate was caught with one, they would call it a prostitute. Yeah, exactly. The person, the human being, the sex partner, you. Wow. Can you please do that? I wanted to say, I was trying to go for a gender neutral. Yeah, I know.

I don't know at any rate, it's, you sex worker is the, is the thing. But anyhow, I lose her early, don't watch her movies. Uh, then again, I don't watch any really. You need to grow up. You need to grow up. Actually, okay. I will say, I was going to say I don't watch any Hugh Grant movies either, but then I

remember that I love Hugh Grant in the film Cloud Atlas, where he plays like four different characters, all of them evil. He was in a mini series called The Very English Scandal, which is on Amazon Prime, which was good. He's like, I'm extremely familiar with this, actually. I'm very familiar with this guy. Actually, actually, oh, yeah. And everyone in the show just got so wet. Yeah, I'm serious. Actually, okay, yeah, I don't know. I will say one of my favorite films of all time,

Not Inhale, well known, fact about me. I think as everybody knows, great film. One of the greatest romantic comedies of all time, starring Julia Roberts, Hugh Grant, and a bunch of British people. And the star of another Amazon series called Comeing. Yeah, which looks really good.

I don't know what it's about. It seems to be some like creepy alien type stuff. Yeah, I'm excited to binge it tonight. So I have no, no, no, it's about either. I'm guessing it's about aliens. Anyhow, so look, we had a big week in news. Let us stuff happen. It was Halloween.

Oh, so much news. I can't even handle it. And I assume you have things that you want to talk about. You want to let us know what's happening in the world. I'm going to react to those things in a totally original and surprising way. Yeah. I think, I think we should probably note that when we eventually posted our episode where we talked about domestic terrorism, it was after the fact that there was a shooting in Pittsburgh at a synagogue that we probably would have covered

or discussed. Oh, for sure. Well, I mean, it's my hometown. It's literally not just my hometown, but my neighborhood. Oh, we should talk about this. I've really talked about it anywhere. I thought about writing something, you know,

and I was talking to my parents about it. They lived five minutes from this synagogue, the shooting. Yeah, a tree of life. One of the people who was killed was on the beam on the stage when I had my bar mitzvah. I didn't have my bar mitzvah there, but I had one in a synagogue nearby. There was this, one of the people killed was, he was like a helper at that synagogue.

Anyhow, so it's pretty close to home. Really, I mean, literally home, it's home for me. On on not just on one level, right, on the level, because it could happen anywhere in Pittsburgh and that would have been really affecting to me because it's like you know the topography and you know the people. But, you know, in my neighborhood where I grew up in Addison, a god, so directly, you know,

and this was an anti-Semitic, you know, it's a hate crime, the person hated Jews. And anyhow, so actually Lauren, I had a sort of an argument about this today, you know, because she has been very upset about it. I've been upset about it too, you know, I find myself near tears or in tears for no reason, sometimes when thinking about it, which is somewhat unusual for me because I'm not, I don't want to say I'm numb to these things, but I think this obviously affects me a little bit more directly, not that I'm affected in a way.

We're at a point in this country where school shootings happen and the school continues to operate two decades later. Right, I mean, I shouldn't say that, like, let's be clear. I mean, my family's safe and I wasn't there, and this is a real tragedy, horrible tragedy for people who were, who were killed in their families. But anyhow, so yeah, we were just talking about the pipe bomber who's a pro-Trump maniac. The guy who sent dozens of bombs to Democrats, to probably Democrats. Yeah, Caesar, and, and, and Florida man, unsurprisingly, no offense to Florida, but what the fuck's going on down

there? And this guy, as they was Robert Bauer, as I believe, he is, you know, he's definitely a Trump person. I mean, he says, you know, there's some posts from him, I guess on GAB, you know, the Nazi. And now shut down GAB. What a wonderful like fucking, if there's any silver linings, fuck GAB. The de-platformed Nazi social network, they're like free speech, but actually it was just a place where Andrew Angland went to like talk about Nazi stuff. But I guess some of his posts were like, I didn't vote for Trump and blah, blah. But he's like, he's a product of Trump's America and he certainly is a product of Trump's rhetoric and in fact like there's a direct line from

Trump's rhetoric about this caravan of of migrants that's you know these criminals and you know that it's there's a I guess there's some conspiracy theory that the caravan is funded by George Saurus I mean he's fucking right when middle Eastern terrorists. I mean all of this started conspiracy theory posts on gab and Twitter that then got picked up by new sources and then hyped and then the president capitalized on them for attention, which I mean, all of this is just the regular cycle of like all right bullshit and de-platforming. These people is the only way, I mean, look at Steve Bannon and Miley and Apples, their careers

fell apart because they were de-platformed. We can only just de-platform these people. There's no more conversation. Well, Steve still doing the occasional no more conversations still doing the occasional. He's still in the occasional economist interview or whatever, but you know, some fucking, um, but nobody cares. Nobody cares.

We have to say, and like, we're done with these conversations where Reddit is like, oh, no, open conversation is better than shutting people down. No, just shut them down. And you're like, someone to die. Like, you don't get to doctor. I, I, you know, look, a gab is it will actually like to go a little bit deeper on

on how this guy is a product of Trump. Gab itself is a product of Trump, right? And and and gab is a reaction from hardcore right wingers, all right people to being deplatformed all over the place because what they are engaging in is actually hate speech, violent hate speech and mob online mob tactics, which is which are, you which are incredibly violent towards other people. And so they get deplatformed and they go, well, we need to have a safe space where we can talk

and plan our fucking assassinations and fucking synagogue shootings. And so they create a gap. This is not an accident that a Jew hater went into a synagogue shouting about how he hates Jews and talking about, you know, was on Gabb talking about the caravan, all this shit. It's like, this shit did not, with this kind of stuff, there were shootings when Obama was president, but it wasn't like this and it, and, and, and it was a, and this is ratcheting up. It's like,

there's more of this happening on a more regular basis. I mean, the fact that these things happen back to back is a really good example of where you see the Republican rhetoric, this kind of conspiracy theory, the conspiracy theory, fear mongering that turns into real world action. You know, George Soros is a component of both of these. The bomber sent a bomb first to George Soros. George Soros is linked to this conspiracy about invaders and the Jew controlled media and all this fucking bullshit.

I mean, this happens when you make up a villain people believe you and then they want to fight that villain. And Trump, you know, people, a lot of people are like, Trump's son-in-law and his daughter converted the Judaism and it's like, let me tell you something. Here's what Trump thinks of Jews. There's, he's quoted on this. He thinks Jews are the guys who do his fucking tax returns, okay? And he thinks Jews are the people he wants managing his money. He's a fucking anti-Semite in the same way that he's a racist.

I mean, Michael Cohen just came out and said that he openly used racist language around him. Yeah, I don't give a sh- well, fuck Michael Cohen first off. I mean, of course, Michael Cohen, but I'm going to admit it. Right. I mean, Michael Cohen's a piece of shit's gone back to and I hope he spends most of his life in prison, frankly, because he's a fucking criminal and he ate it and abetted criminals. But, but beyond that, it should not be a surprise. Like people who are fucking, who have their eyes open, and there is no person who can watch Trump and listen to him. You know, people don't remember when he took office. Shortly after he took office,

there was a huge spate of anti-Semitic like attacks, like synagogues and Jewish community centers that were being like spray painted and stuff. And I feel like people forgot this, but Trump refused to denounce it. He refused to say- He said that Jewish people were doing it to ourselves so that we would look like victims. He literally would like multiple, in multiple press conferences,

both he and I guess at the time it was Scott Sean Spicer, which is spokesperson at the time. They refused to say like we denounced this behavior. We're gonna investigate it or that we consider this, you know, a troubling trend that we wanna take care. I mean, he wouldn't say it. Like, it doesn't matter. I mean, first off, no Jew is spray painting their synagogue.

It's hard enough to get them to go to Shabbat services. They're not taking it back. They're not going to the synagogue. Bray painting. Number one, and number two, this is Sean Spicer, lest we forget was the person who said that Hitler wasn't so bad because he didn't use chemical weapons on quote unquote his own people,

which just denies the fact that Jews that he murdered in the Holocaust were his own people and called concentration camps Holocaust centers. Like this is this is not a fresh take from the Trump people. Um, he, you know, look, Trump's surrounded by racist and he is a racist and an anti-Semite. I don't give a fuck. I really don't give a fuck if his daughter converted to Judaism and he's, he's got Jared Kushner and his family. Um, I don't think this book doesn't matter. Like, I have the anti-Semites in my own family. Like it's like Jared Kushner does not represent Judaism to most Jews and does not certainly does not represent the best

that Judaism has to offer and Ivanka converting because she got married to Jared Kushner does not mean shit. No offense like she's fine she can be Jewish whatever that doesn't make Trump approach Jewish guy just because he wants to because he wants to stoke war in the Middle East by moving the embassy to Jerusalem. Like, it doesn't not, it does not actually make him. So, the first thing that's real, if anything, makes you more suspect for me, honestly, because the reason most Republican support, quote unquote, support Israel, quote unquote, is because they want to bring along the apocalypse by by what's

there like prophecy they have to fulfill like the Jewish state as part of their evangelical belief that that's right. That's right. The evangelicals are all psyched on. Like this. That's also this season of American horror story. Just see. Okay. No spoilers. Please, no spoilers. I might watch it. There's no question that the whole thing is the whole Israel thing is a complete fucking smoke screen. I mean, look, I'm not going to get into my, well, I'll get into my opinions, but I believe that Israel is becoming what it despises the way it's been treating the Palestinian people.

And I think that that's, you know, it's like a really troubling situation when you think about the history of the Jewish people and displacement and the kind of terrorizing situations they've been subject to? And honestly what Israel could be and could have been and isn't. And it's so disgusting. But make no mistake about it. I mean, the Jews, Jews around the world are targeted. I mean, on the one hand, it's like it's easy to dismiss Israel and it's, it's, it's

desires to be this kind of like sovereign state. It's easy to dismiss it. But I will say like, look, Jews are under, look this guy is a part of a large network of people all over the world who hate the fuck out of Jews and want to kill them, okay? And that's never been more true than any place in the fuck than in the Middle East. That said, you can be threatened,

but also be the people doing the threat, Nate. And like those two things aren't mutually exclusive. And I would just say that like, anyhow, whatever, this is a whole rabbit hole with Israel, but the fucking point is that Trump's not a good guy who loves Jews. Trump is an opportunistic piece of shit who was an anti-Semite and a racist. And like, you know, like this is what happens when the anti-Semite and the racist, I mean, let's put it this way way and I tweeted about this. In Charlottesville, there were people marching

with torches shouting, chanting, Jews will not replace us, okay? That's his base. Trump, not only is it his base, he called those people good. He said, there's some good people. And I don't know what version of any of those people. They murdered someone, they killed someone there. They drove a car, these fucking anti-Semite racist, white fucking power people,

drove a car into a woman. They're chanting about how they hate Jews. They're violent, they're violently attacking people. And he's like, yeah, they're good people. That's all you need to know about Donald Trump, whether he believes it or not, he's a fucking piece of shit. And he likes pieces of shit. His way to change the conversation this week so that we would talk about something else was to try to retract birthright citizenship

via a completely illegal Like idea that he would do a an executive order to suspend the 14th amendment which if if Jews who are watching this don't see the similarities between turning away an entire ship of Jewish refugees during the Holocaust and fucking Trump trying to suspend the 14th amendment.

Like I truly, I don't know how to even explain this to you. Like it's, we're at a really disgusting, troubling point and I don't think that, I don't think he or anyone in his administration thinks he could actually end birthright citizenship without really a ton of not just the Supreme Court, but an enormous amount of backlash. It's not going to happen. But the idea that he floated that just

to change the conversation to a different racist thing that he thought he could win, similar to the caravan, like he's just stoking the fires further. It's so... Oh, I'm completely sad. We're in the thickest, it's the all better fucking vote. You all better fucking vote. I agree.

I'm not here for people defending people in a New York magazine article saying, like here's why I'm not voting or we shouldn't shame young people for not voting because like a lot of young people didn't vote in the midterms years ago. Like no, this is a different thing. We're at a different point. I am not here for your cold ass takes about how we shouldn't guilt young people or whoever to vote like no, I'm going to guilt you. If you had the time to put a Halloween costume together, post it to Instagram with filters, respond

to your likes. You have the time to fill out a voter registration and go fucking vote for Democrats. That's where we're at. No, I mean, listen, there's really zero excuse for not voting unless you are actively trying to hasten the demise of, I don't know, human. Unless you have a death wish and even if you have a death wish, could you not have a death wish for me to? Yeah, it's really outrageous.

I mean, it's fucking outrageous, but I will say this. I mean, I think it has to be said that, you know, one of the things that I think has happened, I think it's become more clear to people who are on the fence about what Trump stands for and what's going on. I mean, if you didn't see it before, which frankly, like, where the fucking reality are you living in, but like, if you didn't see it before, you must see it now. I mean, they literally just released this fucking ad, which is super racist. I mean, just racist. It is like Mexicans are gonna kill you and the Democrats are letting it happen.

And it's like, yeah, you know guys, I think it's time to admit that the dude is actually fucking racist and he's trying to turn America into a super racist country. I mean, if you can stand by Steve King, we're done. Like, there's not really, I don't know how much. I mean, I can't engage with a conversation that like Trump's not a racist I don't know how much, I mean, I'm just, I can't engage with the conversation that like Trump's not a racist or being a nationalist doesn't

make you a real, like, I mean, I fucking, he said he's, he's an, I'm a nationalist. I mean, that's it. He's like, that's it. I don't know what you have to hear. I don't know what you have to hear from him to not understand what he's saying. I don't think it's a matter of people not knowing that. I think it's people don't want to admit it. People, there's a, the, the, people are more scared of being called racists than they are of actual racism or that they are of anything else. People, we have really stigmatized the idea of openly calling yourself a racist. And so even people like Steve King and Trump and right wing fucking pundits who are calling

for some of the most racist policies, people who call for voter ID so they can disenfranchise people of color from voting are the people who call for voter ID, so they can disenfranchise people of color from voting, are the people who flip out if you call them racists, because they're so scared to be called racists. But this is just a wilful ignorance at this point. You just don't wanna use that word. You'll use a nationalist or you'll talk about white genocide, but you won't admit you're a racist.

We're at a point where like, where there is people who support Richard Spencer and won't openly call themselves racist. Like, I don't know if we need another word so that they'll adopt the word and then we can stigmatize that. Like, it's so beyond the pale of, it's weird too when I talk to like conservative,

quote unquote people who like quote unquote support Trump because he's our president or whatever. They, there's like an inability to admit he's racist because they're so scared that there would be called racist, but they're fine with racism. It's very, very weird. I think one of the few things I've read recently, I believe it or not, that I'm not a homophob, I just don't believe in being gay.

It's like, that's homophob, what do you want? I think one of the things that I've seen that is most interesting is, and actually somewhat encouraging is the, the newer times had a piece that was, near times had a piece that was a young evangelicals talking about talking to people. I have to say. No, I know, but I will say this, I will say this. There were a number of these like 22, 23, 24 year old evangelical Christians who are like, yeah, I don't know what's going on with my religion

and my parents, but they don't represent what I think is like Christianity and I'm like voting Democrat because like whatever's going on with the Republicans is not what I believe like Jesus was preaching. Which is like, I'm not gonna give give anybody any credit, like at this point, but it is somewhat a little bit encouraging to hear from the people who are the next generation of that group. Not every one of them said that, but there were a handful. It was like, oh, wow, okay, you're using your brain. You're thinking about whether or not the shit you're doing

your brain. Like you're thinking about whether or not the shit you're doing translates to what you tell people are your beliefs. And that's. Well, it's like a little encouraging this week's episode of I Love You America, Sarah Silverman's Hulu talk show Fred Armason had heard a whole thing about Jesus, but at one point she said, this is a group of people who will let Jesus into their heart, but wouldn't have let him into their country. And it's fucking true. You can't really. I think she's ripping that line off from somebody, but um, in any event you can't, you can't listen to like the actual words that Jesus Christ has written in his book that gets passed

around quite often in hotel rooms. You can't actually read that and take away from that that there's a white genocide happen and we need to send troops to the Mexican border to, you know, mo down anyone who throws a rock, which is another thing from this week. Like it's just horror on top of horror and if you think that your religion is supporting that, you're just a terrorist, you're a radicalized terrorist and we need to find out who radicalized you because you're basically ISIS. I mean, I think that there is definitely a look. I mean, there definitely is a segment of the American population which, you know, is not, I don't know, their fears and their values are just coming from a very different place coming from a

Oboeured place that is that feels more like nationalism and racism and you know Listen, some people are just gonna hear Some people are just gonna hear what people are saying to them and just believe it And that's a lot of Americans I fear. But I think that, you know, look, I think those people are the minority in this country. I hate to, I hate to like, I don't want to be too optimistic. But if you look at the voting numbers, I mean, look at the numbers, you know, Hillary Clinton, not a popular candidate.

She got three million more votes than Trump from people in America. You know, so that at least indicates to me that amongst the voting public, as it was in 2016, there are more people who want something better than Trump, you know, and don't want to be, you know, one racist. So you know, it's, we're literally four days away from the midterms, you know, whatever. Well, in five days, four days. Continuing theme of dark news. Haier Bolsonaro won the presidential election in Brazil.

And he wants to cut down what's left of the Amazon rainforest, which is, I mean, it's been completely pillaged and destroyed. There's like barely any of it left. We've lost about the size of California from it, and it is the greatest natural resource on the earth. And I mean, I don't, the idea that other countries, it's the thing that other countries, it's the thing that, it's the famous quote that is when America sneezes the rest of the world gets a cold.

You know, this is so troubling because the Amazon natural rainforest, like from an environmental perspective, that Amazon is, it's a world resource. It is owned by one place, and obviously it's a world resource. It is owned by one place, and obviously it's part of one country, but it is as if you're taking away, it's as if we, America just itself destroyed a notion. Like it is the, one of the most precious things that we actually own, or that we actually

have on this planet, and it's going to be destroyed to quote unquote like create jobs in Brazil. And it's going to be destroyed to quote unquote like create jobs in Brazil. And it's really, really scary stuff. And without America or an international sort of political pressure to protect it, which looks unlikely in a Trump administration, we could lose, I mean, the cure for cancer could be in the Amazon. We don't know. Like basically all of our greatest discoveries in cancer could be in the Amazon. We don't know. Like basically all of our greatest discoveries in medicine

have come from the rainforest. And I just wanted to bring that up and signal that because it's gonna get lost in the shuffle, but this is some of the big, big stuff that we're not talking about because we're so busy talking about some fucking crazy person murdering Jews. Right, I mean, listen, the, look, the fucking fallout from Trump is going to be 25 years or more, you know. In a couple of years, he's already damaged so much about the way the courts are populated,

the way other countries are governing themselves, the way people think, the way they think they can talk, the way they think is an acceptable way to carry themselves through the world. I mean, there's a lot of damage here, but I just would like to start some healing as soon as human- human the possible. Well, in the spirit of healing, I have to say apparently at Jack is a listener to this podcast and he wants to kill the like on Twitter because he thinks it'll help discussion. We've called for the dis- for the dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- dis- numbers. How would you feel if we killed the like? Because for a website obsessed with disliking

every single thing, the user base of Twitter screamed that they needed the like. Is it because of their serotonin hits they get every time they get it? I don't know what he's the like used to be favorite and people didn't use it the same way. I'm his favorite. I know. He's a fave star. Bring back fave star. But favorite, here's here's what I think is just like the whole I mean, basically the main use for likes right now is as a read receipt that you saw a response. That's really how people use that on Twitter. Yeah, I mean, I think that the issue is the whole function of this, that these services doesn't make sense to the way human brains are supposed to work. For communication. We're all giving speeches at a podium, counting the number of people listening, and then counting

the number of claps we get in real time, which is not the way that people have conversations. So I understand at Jack wanting to like fix it, but you just have to do it. You can't be waiting for everybody. I honestly think that if Twitter wants to fix things, some extreme measures aren't the worst idea. And you just have to roll it out, because everyone's going to complain about it no matter what it is. The people complained when there was inline gifts, people complained when you could like, when quote tweets came out, like people complained about threading, people are gonna complain about whatever,

just if you wanna fix your horrible service that delivers me death threats regularly, just try some shit out at this point. What I'm saying is, I mean, forget about, I mean, you know, like, can't they take on real problems though? Like, I think the like is bullshit, but like, there are other problems that they could deal with, like, for instance, when you're talking about- I mean, what is a profitable company at this point, right?

Like, I used to think of them as unable to grapple with their own success, but they definitely have been making money for a few quarters, so- Like, but, you know, their users are, they're a lot of very unhappy users. I mean, they're a rage machine. I mean, the reality is like, their business is Trump. You know, if Trump, if Trump will remove from Twitter tomorrow, there would be a period of people celebrating a period of people being angry and then Twitter would go out of business shortly thereafter. Like, no one's on, no one's on Twitter anymore for like normal reasons. Everybody's on Twitter because like something horrible is about to happen.

You know, that's not like a good, it's not a good way to live. Like it actually isn't like it actually may be better for you to go to sleep for there to be a fucking bomb that goes off somewhere for you to wake up and then like hear about it written by a professional who understands exactly what's going on in the world right now and can explain it to you. It may not be the best thing in the world for there to be a shooting happening and for you to go, yo, there's a shooting happening, then just sit there and wait to find out what's happening with the shooting. Yeah.

It's not a useful skill to dial up the correct gift response emotionally and be able to punch it out. It's just not anyone else as much as that's what I do all that. There's some stuff where breaking news is really useful. Like, I'm not saying it's not useful to hear about it, but like, there's some stuff like, oh, there's an Apple event going on. Oh, shit, Apple just announced a new iPad.

Wow, okay. Like a giant chat room for award shows and stuff is not the worst. That's the best time to be using Twitter. I mean, award shows are over, but that's a whole other topic of conversation in my opinion. Um, you know, all right. So anyhow, let's, let's, what else is going on?

We have to move, I have to move on from this politics stuff because it's making me very unhappy and depressed and I don't want to have to, I don't have to take my own life tonight Ryan. Let's talk about this fire Obama clip. Fire. So yeah, I'm OG fire emoji Well bright spot in my in my otherwise dark world is Obama. Yeah Obama was doing a Doing a rally in Florida where nothing good happens again

um, and People were heckling some right-wing people were heckling him and there he was like why why you so mad He's like you won. He's like, what I won the presidency, but at least my side felt good. And, you know, I don't know, he's got a point. He goes on to talk about how he they're being riled up by the fucking president, which is true. I miss him.

Yeah, he's great. And Trump also axiost garbage, the garbage pile that is axiost that we'll just write whatever Trump says to that question in it. Wrote, speaking to reporters today, Trump blamed the media for inciting violence in the US, specifically telling one reporter, you're creating violence by your questions. I want to just want to put in perspective that Axios is a publication where they're star reporter Jonathan Swan from Australia, I believe, which is interesting when people from Australia are like deeply engaged in American politics.

I always find that suspect. This is like Gavin McGinnison, myelianopolis, like being like commentators for the outright. But in a rate, he asked, he's the guy who got the 14th Amendment question out of, or answer out of Trump. And his response was like a giddy laugh because Trump like was impressed by his reporting ability and had no follow-up question about it and they wrote it like breathlessly how exciting it was the Trump was gonna try to change the Constitution. Anyhow just another case of access journalism gone, gone awry.

But, you know, gotta get the clicks. Oh yeah, Axios, the chilling adventures of Axios never seem to end. I mean, actually, once in a while, Axios does something good. I'm like, you know, I think there's some sort of people over there. Yeah, I think there's some sort of people there. Yeah. Yeah, I think there's so far people over there. I think that they're just a little bit too cozy with people in politics and in, to really

serve the, to really serve humanity, you should be not cozy with anybody in politics. You should be skeptical and outside their circles. You should be looking at what they do with an extremely critical eye and questioning everything that they do. And, you know, that's what good journalists do. Anyhow, let's talk about it. Let's talk about it. Let's talk about it.

Let's talk about it. Let's talk about it. Let's talk about it. Let's talk about it. Let's talk about it. Let's talk about it. Let's talk about it. Let's talk about it. Let's talk iPad. Oh, we have fucking cares. I mean, okay, first off, I've been looking for my iPad. My iPad is lost. Okay.

My iPad, I have an iPad probably bought last year. I'm like, this is going to be my new computer because Apple's whole thing is like the iPad is a powerful computer. It's like, I have no doubt it's powerful. But a computer, it is not any compute things. Don't get me wrong. And again, John Gruber is going to be like, But a computer it is not any compute things don't get me wrong John grubber is gonna be like who I'll use it for all my stuff. I don't know what able to talk about that's my computer It's like whatever dude you don't really compute then because you don't know what a computer does really great watching Netflix while you do the dishes

It's really great for watching music videos while you do the elliptical. It's really great. It's a nice big. I coloring once. Oh, when people see that pen, they first try the pen out. They're like, oh my God. You know, people the same way with the galaxy note, by the way, Elias was using my galaxy note the other day. And he's like, oh, pretty cool. And it's like, yeah, it's cool. Like, you don't really need, I mean, the pens, I mean, the pen, I actually get the galaxy note pen a little bit more than the iPad pen, only because like, I don't know, it's like in your pocket. You need something tiny. I'm not drawing my iPad.

Sometimes I'm not. It's not that tiny, dude. Sorry, not happening. But what's the point of, I don't understand. I will say, okay, where I have used the pen is on my surface. You know what's cool about it on the surface is it's like a computer.

And all the stuff I do in my computer is available there. And then if I want to like sketch something real quick for somebody, it's like, I can also do that. It's pretty crazy that Apple has in fact a way to like, smush Mac OS and iOS together better for their tap. Well, they can't, they can't because it would, they can't because it would bastardize one line or the other. Now, what they might do, I feel like they're a generation away

from basically making like a more multi-windowed version of the iPad, which is the computer. But like dude, still, I'm sorry, it's still like, you wanna download a file from the internet and like put it in a folder somewhere, it's incredibly annoying. And I'm sorry, sorry.

I am not using the App Store to do all my apps that I use for the computer. I try to edit a podcast using just App Store apps, it's not happening, you're not doing it. You're, there's a, I have to side load so many things and download so many little tweaks, like loop back and stuff. And we're ready to get all this audio stuff to work to do any video editing.

To even Photoshop doesn't work great on the iPad. At the end of the day, you just need to give me full control of a roomy own machine. And you don't want to do that. So this is never going to be a computer. It's just, it is what it is. It's a giant iPhone, which I have some uses for, but let's not like act like the whole,

all those ads that are like, what's a computer like a little kid who's like, I've never heard of a computer. I only know iPad, like fuck off with that. Nobody's doing that. You need a computer. But also, listen, there's a reason why every professional video editor, producer I know

has been switching to a PC. I mean, not even that. You know. If you want to be one of the viral virus, like Twitter accounts or like a meme dump Instagram account, you want to make video edits, you want to be that person on YouTube. Anything that kids, the kids, the young ends, the melends, the gen zers wanna do, you can't get a, accomplish on your phone. In order to get a YouTube video,

to download to then upload to Twitter, I have to do a save-to-dropbox hack through Safari, save a video from YouTube to my Dropbox account, download it through Dropbox in the photos app, open the photos app, edit the video, then post it to Twitter. Nobody's fucking doing that as their full experience. Sorry.

Dude, it's insane. I mean, it's like seriously, I understand that the Apple wants people to be like, oh yeah, I'm a, I'm using my fucking, and you're wearing it. You're like, sell on my power user. It's like, it's just not real, okay. It's not real. It's not, I know just not real, okay? It's not real.

It's not, I know there are people who are like, well, I do it. It's like, yeah, okay. But you are. That's like a path who has a corporate account that can pay for them to use a bunch of apps that cost three of them off. You're in the minority.

You're in the minority and also like, you probably aren't computing that hard to be real. Like just to be real. Like, I know people who compute real hard, okay? They're not doing it on a fucking iPad. I don't care how many, I don't care how many fucking, I don't care how much bezel you've reduced around the screen. And by the way, the iPad, new iPad Pro looks really nice. I said, we're just facing the target.

The reason I've been looking for my iPad Pro is so I can remind myself of how much I hate it so I don't end up buying the new iPad Pro. Okay? And I want to know where that fucking thing is. And I don't know where it is. And I think Laura has hit it. That's my theory. She's hit it for me.

She doesn't want you. I haven't used it. Here's how insignificant the iPad Pro is to me is that I lost it. Dev no idea where it is. I can't remember the last time I used it. Here's how insignificant the iPad pro is to me is that I lost it. Dev, no idea where it is. I can't remember the last time I used it. You're like, I'm over it. No, it's just straight up. I straight up spent like $1,200 on it with the pen and the fucking keyboard and all that

shit. And I'm like, it's somewhere in the house. Yeah. But I don't know where. That should tell you everything you need to know about the iPad. Now, I know there are going to be some iPad stands. They're going to be like, well, that's my whole deal. I love the iPad.

I can't imagine. I'm never going back. It's like, well, you're a lightweight. Sorry, you are. You're a lightweight. You're not really cute. The main use to have for it is to watch stuff and like as a portable video playing screen, on unsurpassed perfection.

That sounds great. I just wish I could find my iPad more than anything. I'm looking around the room right now. You're my father, my eyes are still there. I've been seeing years somewhere. Yeah, but it's dead man. It's dead. And I don't know where it is. Now there is a mode. I think it sends like a life, like a life lock. No, it sounds like a life signal right before it dies, but I didn't have a turn to hot.

I don't think whenever man, somewhere in here, somewhere in there's a stack of Chromebooks. There's an iPad. Well, Lana Del Rey is a big fan of the new iPad. She's going to use it to start some new feuds with Ozilia Banks. We're all excited. Kanye West is pissed. He's pivoted out of politics. Lana Del Rey, Lana Tim Cook, he said, I can't, I can't follow this up. So anyhow, I don't think we talked for a second about the iPad.

So the Mac Pro event, whatever they introduce a new MacBook Air and people are like, oh, finally, and it's like, yeah, it's over friends. If you look at, well, okay. Are you gonna sing Borent to die about the lightning connector? I wanna talk about, here's what I wanna talk about. You ready? Okay, hold on, let me do this.

Was it the verge? Try not to, the, hurt of the website? Have you heard of it? I'm on a second Mac book. Oh, Mac book air. Hold on, here we go. Oh, this is annoying.

Anybody who's buying a Mac book air and an iPad though from this event is too rich. Like I want a tax. That you only have the money to buy a surface because that's the only thing you should have purchased. You idiot. Here's soccer. I'm trying to find that.

I think somebody did a comparison, a spec comparison. Speaking of in the meantime, I want this night sight mode that you have on your pixel to take pictures in the dark. Oh, that shit looks good. Speaking of great pixel camera stuff. I want it. Can I ask a real question? Can I ask a serious question?

How does Apple deal their face ideas the best. They're like, it's on the iPad. They're like on the new Macbook Air fingerprint ID is the best. It's exactly what you say. They're like, we introduced the fingerprints. They're like, we finally brought the fingerprint scanner to the Macbook Air. It's like, guys, you're just telling me about how the face ID is the thing, but with face ID fucking sucks. If you let me tell you about where face ID is, like what are the worst? It's like your phone is on your desk.

You get a message. You have the face ID function where it doesn't show you the message until you like have face ID engaged. I mean, I know you can turn it off. You know I'm gonna turn it off actually. I've decided. It's like, it's like, oh cool, I have to pick up my phone to see know I'm gonna turn it off, actually. I've decided. And it's like, it's like, oh, cool, I have to pick up my phone

to see what this thing says. Anyhow, where is the- I don't do that. My notification is just coming up. Here we go. Face ID is too not reliable. I agree. Face ID blows.

Okay, here we go. MacBook's back comparison. You ready? Okay, MacBook Pro no touch bar. That's computer I use. Same resolution screen, same size. The MacBook Air has an eighth gen 1.6 GHz dual core Intel Intel Core i5. The MacBook Pro has a 2.3 GHz seventh gen 2.3 GHz dual core i5. Okay. Better graphics. So, MacBook Air has Intel U Graphics 617, Intel has, sorry, the Pro has Intel Iris Plus

Graphics 640 comes in 8GB, 16, starts at 128GB, 720p FaceTime camera, okay, 12 hours of battery life on the air, 10 hours battery life on the Pro. Here's the weight difference, you ready? Same ports, same number of ports. The weight difference, 2.75 pounds, that's the air, 3.02 pounds, that's the pro. And there's a hundred dollar difference in price. I'm not sure why you would buy the MacBook Air here. Like a little bit better battery life.

This is the MacBook they should have released three or four years ago at $200 less the price for being on it I'm just like it's like it's like it's like so the graphics chip is worse the processor is slower Same ports about the same weight Same screen. This is to trick people who are going to college to trick their parents into buying them the air because they're like It's the budget or one and you need a Mac for your new school or whatever. This is what they do You'll get a free pair of beads to buy it They're like, it's the budget or one and you need a Mac for your new school or whatever. This is what they do. You'll get a free pair of beats to buy it.

Which really says they still sell the MacBook, the 12 inch MacBook, which I like. It's like such a tiny computer, but it sucks. Anyhow, so it's really funny. Like, I don't understand. For a hundred dollars more, you get a much better computer with slightly better. I as the new Mac mini. That's the only Mac on their in their line. That is like seems okay for the price. I don't know. Listen, it's fine. If you need a new Mac book, just I guess you know, get whichever

one you really like. Yeah, go to the store, get a feel for it, decide what feels good to you, but I'm just saying I think it's weird if you buy them, if you buy the air over the pro, I think it's really weird because like for a hundred bucks more you get a faster processor. And it's only a little bit heavier. I love that they're new. I mean, you can charge your iPhone off of your iPad with USB-C. Great. Wow. Really crushed it, guys.

Yeah. Anyhow, whatever. So I saw a thing today. So he was like, um, Johnny Ivan Steve Jobs were the Beatles and, um, Tim Cook and Johnny Ivan, like, wings. And I think it's a really good, I think maybe Chris Mims tweeted it in a response to, obviously Mike Murphy from Courts tweeted a thing about how Johnny Ivan is talking about like why, talking about like what they did with the new iPad Pro and like basically he's

like, yeah, we rounded the edges. Or like we rounded the screen edges, or something, it's like really insignificant. Great job. Here's what are you gonna do? You know, what are you gonna do? You built this thing up, you have this company now, you gotta be like, you'd be like,

check it out, or the best, or innovators. I don't know, listen, there are things, but there are things Apple does, I really like a lot, you know? Don't get me wrong, I'm not like all anti-Apple. People think I am. People think I am Apple, but they didn't upgrade their AirPods in their three years old, so like, what are we doing here? I mean, I like what Microsoft has done,

and I think their hardware design is actually better than Apple's at this point, and more interesting. And I frankly think that think something like the Surface Pro is a much more daring and interesting product. Even though it's got, it's got, it's got, it's got, it's got issues, but it's still, it's closer to what I envision the future should be for that kind of form factor.

Like, I've definitely come around to it and I don't think like just a standard laptop is it and I don't think what Apple's doing with the iPad is it. But I do think that OS 10 is the most elegant, most sort of simple and consistent desktop or laptop operating system that's out there right now. I do, and I think most of their changes have been positive, you know?

But I don't know, like, I don't feel like, oh, strong allegiance to what Apple's doing. You know, I mean, I think most people I know, most people I know, like, especially people who've like seen the, people who've seen like my pixel photos are always like, like, you know, my impression is they would switch if they, if they can get I message. If I could get I message and I didn't have to pay a ton of money to replace all my shit,

I would have a Chromebook, Windows desktop and a pixel, and that would be that. And I wouldn't really fuck around with Apple anymore. I wouldn't fuck with a Chromebook, I'm gonna tell you why. Because they're literally, I just literally need, I'm gonna tell you why. Because they're like literally, I just literally need something to type on portably and I can do everything else everywhere else. So I want something that at least where I have

like photo editing capability. Right, so a surface, a picture. So call it a day. Yeah, I guess so. I mean, it's like the laptop itself is inoffensive because everything I do on it is connected to some service that has nothing to do with. I dropped my Apple watch to pick up a Google. What is it called? Google watch? What is it? Google Wear. Google Wear version of lenses.

I don't know. I don't know like, yeah, I mean, to me the whole digital watch thing is like I can't like I like wearing watches You know I like watches So would probably the problem with digital watches is that they are not watches not Watches well Apple released their new watch update 5.1 or something and it was supposed to give each ekeg features They pulled it but I had already downloaded the software. So now the software is taking up space on my phone. My watch won't update because it can't verify.

It keeps trying to remind me to update my watch software because it's ready and when I try, it says it failed, it won't do it. So I have been dealing with this for a few days where everything's bugging me to update. I can't update, it won't do it. I can't delete the update that I downloaded to my iPhone because Apple is like, we'll delete it once you install it, but I can't update, it won't do it. I can't delete the update that I downloaded to my iPhone because Apple is like, we'll delete it once you install it, but I can install it. And I'm caught in this little loop. And Apple's like, we're going to get a fix because they pulled it because it was bricking Apple watches. And I was like, this is not elegant. This isn't the seamless user

experience that I paid $400 for. So if you're listening still to cook, thanks for pulling Alex Jones from the app store, but if you could fix my watch. Yeah, that was, that was a good one. That was thank, that's, you know, you gotta give him that. Although, you know, it's after, you know, a little bit of, I mean, they didn't fully do it, took him a little bit. Speaking of tech companies,

we should talk about Google's company sanctioned walkout that happened yesterday. This is good. I want to say something. I think they had clear demands. There was a thing in the cut. We started this walkout and here's our demands and they were really clear and level headed

and made a lot of sense. And I think the cornerstone of any. I had a bad look at Googleers. Yeah, the cornerstone of any type of action like that, you know, if you want to, if you want to do a boycott or a walk out or whatever, as you've got to say, well, here's what I want. Here's our grievances and here's what we want.

Yeah, the laziest, as I can say this because I'm not officially an employee of the outline, but as a sub, as a sub-tweet, the laziest kind of boycott is the kind with no demands for a PR attention. There's no point in that. Or outreach or whatever. It's like, you know, you should definitely,

if you have grievances, like make them clear, you know, what are they? And what are your demands? What can we fix? You know, I think when a company, you've got, you know, but anyhow, so I thought with the Google walk out, it was a very good example of like effective sort of group action when something doesn't seem right at the place where you work. And so I don't be introducing how Google responds.

I do think like the Andy Rubin story is fucking crazy. I mean, on a number, on a number of levels, like, just one on like how Google handled the whole thing, but also on the level of, you know, there's like emails where he's like, oh, I'll own you and I'll loan you out to people like to women he was having like relationships with, which is like, listen, I'm not judging people if they want to be owned and loaned out. Like, that's fine, that's your thing.

It's just like, yeah, I don't know, like, to put in an email from Andy Rubin and like, I don't know if his wife was like signing off on that shit, doesn't seem like she was. It's pretty bad, it's pretty nasty. It's like not a good look, you know? Again, I don't wanna judge people in those relationships, but I feel like you gotta, it's gotta be above board

if it all possible. Whatever that would be, and I don't know what that would be. Speaking of not above board, dunks, do you wanna talk about Jacob? Whoa, Jacob. Do we have to take a project? Whoa. I just wanna talk about it.

What I'm talking about is like, nobody loses. Yeah, I don't know what, I don't know what his claim to fame is. He's like a right wing like a agitator or something he's like trying to be like I don't know he his whole thing is like he is trying to expose hypocrisy But he is the hypocrisy Expose hypocrisy by being a huge hypocrite and like putting together fake everything He does is like fake and very poorly put together fake. Like he wanted to entrap Robert Mueller

in a sexual assault scandal that he made and both went up and with like a go daddy account or whatever, like guys. Yeah, it's like the, the, the, the, the voicemail was like forwarding to his mother's house or something. Like it would be more complicated. He gave a press conference with like no information

and Costco jeans and like, oh God, it was really. I think it's hard to say that all of these alt-right people are... Thumb-dums, we're starting to... Well, the con can only go on for so long, you know? And eventually you're like, oh wait, these people are actually fucking stupid and their audiences are dupes

or willingly ignorant, willfully rather ignorant or pretending, or like just making shit out. And it's like, yeah, the whole thing is kind of a scam. And there's not much to say about it. That guy is a fucking loser. And now everybody knows he's a loser. Now it's clear he's a loser.

And congratulations on being a loser. Alec Baldwin punched someone. Yeah, I saw this. He punched somebody over a parking space dispute or something. It's good. It's like, this in Baldwin's going to Baldwin, I guess. Teflon Baldwin, nothing ever. Listen, he'll survive this.

I don't want to, I don't want to stereotype, but he's, I got an Irish temper. Yeah, I someone with a last name, who Leanne, I can confirm. He got an Irish temper. He's a long Island Irish guy's, I know it. last name, who lay on I can confirm. You get an Irish tempering. That's a long Island Irish guys. I know it. I've heard of it. Look, he saw some fucking prick pulling his face and he fucking punch him in the face. Remember, we know that's what you do.

He called the paparazzi a faggot and I was working at GLAAD at the time and he called us and he was like, I didn't say faggot. I said fat head. As if that's something to say fat head. Yeah. You stupid fat head. Look at this messy little fat head. It was fucking fat head. As if that's something to say, fat head. Yeah. You should be fat head. Look at this messy little fat head. It was fucking fat head.

She's a real fat head. What was it? It's messy bottom fat head. I guess I listen, we've all been there. We've all been there. We've all called somebody a fat head, a fit of rage. You don't listen, here's the thing. I like Algbal when he's fine, but he needs a little bit more of a filter, you know?

I mean, he needs to be a little bit less of a guy, of a guy. He needs to be less of a little pig. Somebody called his daughter. Yup, he called his daughter a little pig, a little pig. Listen, I bet she was really annoying to him though, to be honest, like how bad she was really driving him crazy? I can't imagine, Pete. I mean, every time I've even raised my voice to Zelda, I feel like so bad.

I fucking feel like I'm going to kill myself. I'm like, you know, she also is like really, she really like plays it up. I mean, you know, she definitely knows that it, I feel bad if I yell. She's like, you were yelling. Like, yeah, I know. I just wanna repeat. You're eating your tax on such as. But like, you were being really annoying, man.

Just eat, just eat dinner. Just eat, it's not that big of a deal. That's our number one problem is that she'll just like, we'll like get a plate of food and just chill in front of it for like four hours. And it's like, you know what, just, you should just eat it and then we can all go do something fun. Very strange. Been there.

I've been there though. No, have you? I don't know. It's like a power thing. It's a kid. Yeah. It was a total power move. You rely on you.

It's how you, yeah, it's how you own your, you know, reality or whatever. You own the lips that raise you. Tell you on the lips. That's exactly right. We've been talking about, we were talking about religion actually. We're trying to think thinking about introducing her to the world of Judaism. You know, we's exactly right. We've been talking about, we were talking about religion actually, we're trying to think, thinking about introducing her to the world of Judaism. You know, we're atheist. She's gonna love it.

But it's not, I was like, she's already seems really to feel guilty about a lot of things. So I feel like it's not gonna be a long walk. It's gonna be a werewolf butt mitzvah. That's what it's gonna be. She's all right, we've already discussed it. All right, anything else in the news that we should talk about?

Well, before we move on to things we like, I don't know if you liked it or not, but I know you've been playing Red Dead. Do you like Red Dead? Well, I've played 45 minutes of it. I, here's the thing. I, I don't know what's going on. It's, it's a big, it's a big game. I don't know.

It's fine. I killed some people, you know, I think they had a comment. I don't know if they had to come in or not. Like, uh, but the point is I, I definitely shot some cowboys. I don't know if they had a comment or not. But the point is, I definitely shot some cowboys. Yeah, it seems good. I'm impressed by the snow effects. I don't know, it's a game. I have too many games I haven't finished.

I know. Do you like it? Are you playing it? I can't afford it. I spent my budget this week on pre ordering Super Smash Brothers ultimate. So We'll circle back around at the holiday discounts. That's out on the Seventh or the ninth of December one of those odd number to early days in December

Yeah, I don't know. I guess mean everybody likes that. I don't know if I'm that something I'm into you know I think it's a game you gotta play with people, right? You can play with people. There's an adventure mode. I like Smash Brothers both because I can play online with friends, but also I really want a game that is fun and engaging and stuff, but I need story-driven games.

I do, for the most part. I like an open world story-driven game, like a red dead. I do really need that in my life. I also need a game I can play while we're watching like the new Julie Roberts show on Amazon because John only has two days a week We can watch TV because he works so much so he wants to binge 10 episodes of something I need something I can do during that Besides cook and eat so I really like a game that I could throw on and like it's good and it's engaging

It's not it's more than like Luminous, which I do enjoy, but it needs something that I can play and whatever. And that's a perfect that, or tennis aces is like a great supplement for that. So I ordered that. Yeah, see, see, I can't, see, I can't like, I can't like, I can't watch TV and play a video game. I can watch TV and like look at my phone. Yeah. But I think, watch a TV and play video game. I can watch TV and look at my phone.

But I think, watch TV and play video game is too much. Overload. And I just can't. Yeah, it's overload. I like to really focus on the game. Like, if I'm playing a game, I'm playing a game. My problem is by the end of the day, and I think it's the problem with Red Dead Redemption. By the end of a long day, my ability to play a game, it feels like work.

Oh yeah, and it's like, I'm not gonna be able to do it. This is too much work for me. Yeah. You know what I mean? And so I don't do it, which is the reason why I think you need to play Detroit. Play Detroit. I know, I know, but the problem is, I've got other games I'm trying to play now.

We should play Detroit together. Let's we should stream it. We should you already played it. And I love it. I love it. I will play on Twitch. Yeah. I play play it. You make your decisions. We'll watch and comment. That would be fun. My decisions are all going to be really bad. Like what would a robot do? What a robot kill this child? Probably. Sure. Dead kid. I feel like, yeah. Yeah. Why not? I feel like we should probably we should probably wrap up here. Let's get to the things we like. God. I have to think of something I like. All right. You do that. It's been a bad week. It's been a bad week for me liking things. All right. Go ahead. You do yours. And I'm going to then I'm going to tell you about if go on to tell you about it. I don't try to think if there's

anything I've been liking. I like three things this week. Number one is in. You're so positive. Well, I just, I keep a note during the week. I do my job. So I really, really, I watched the Vanderpump rules. The trailer for the news is no Vanderpump rules dropped. It is fire emoji, fire emoji. It's incredible. But there's one line in it that I really love. A man says very seriously, Stasi's new boyfriend, Bo, they're in a fight and he very seriously looks her in the

eyes and he says, it's like you dick punched my heart. And that was, wow, wow, that'll keep you alive for 48 hours. There was that's the first thing. The second thing I like is Carly Rae Jepsen's new single Party for one and it's a come. It's great. Carly Stan Parley so good. Support her. Carly is it an icon. It's great. It's a it's a master

patient anthem for the ages and every pop street is about it's about jerky. Oh yeah, it's a party for one. Well, I don't know. Do is it sexy or like, Oh, it's very sexy. Is it really? It's a celebratory sexy. The video is pretty funny. There's an older woman whipping around a double-ended dildo like it's a lasso. It's like, no, shut up.

Really? Are you making this up? Nope. It's a good mood. Holy fuck. I got to check this out. Yeah. It's real good.

All right. Party for one. And then my last and final thing, my real recommendation is my two friends, Bradley Stern and T. Kyle Mack, who are icons of pop music and viral Twitter stuff. They're some of the people behind basically every meme you've ever heard of.

And they do a podcast. They're doing a podcast, like a limited series podcast for the 20th anniversary of Britney Spears' Baby One More Time album. They're doing a podcast called It's Britney Bitch, where they recap in every episode a year of her career. And to hear two super fans freak out about something and obsess over extremely small details, like when she appeared in a commercial for something or a magazine photo shoot and really break down someone's career, especially a career so filled with very interesting hilarious wild moments. It's been great because it takes you down a rabbit hole of like 2001 culture that you

forgot about and it's hyper specific. It is extremely slaying heavy. It's full of hot fire memes. It's really funny. They're both great. They're both thrilled to be doing it, you can tell. And if you have any interest in pop music at all, even ancillary, it's really, really, really fun. It's a fun thing that they're doing. So go check that out.

It's called It's Brittany Bitch. It's available. Every podcast is available. And you know how to get podcasts, because you're listening to this. So. Wow. That is quite a list. it's called It's Brittany Bitch, it's available every podcast is available. And you know how to get podcasts because you're listening to this. So. Wow, that is, that is quite a list.

I really have, I like some stuff this week. You really have a great list. And I feel like honestly, I feel like I have nothing. You don't like anything? Have I talked about this before? I am, I'm really into tools now. Have I had to bet this? I'm gonna resist from making a joke.

No, you make a joke. No, I feel like, you love playing with your tool? You love playing with your tool? You know, I love Tinkering with tools. And, I haven't got any money for one. Yeah, party for one, just like Carly, right.

But I, like the other day on Maastrop, I bought this set of like, I'm just for one. Yeah, party for one, just like Carly, right. But the other day on MasterUp, I bought this set of, I'm just opening it up right now, I bought this set of 72 little like tools, electronics tools. So now I have all the tools that you need, if you're going to do it in an I-fix it move. But I've had my eye on this Victronox Swiss tool, which is the company that makes the Swiss Army knife or Victorinox. I'm not really sure how you pronounce it.

I've always pronounced it Victorinox, but I guess it's my B Victorinox. Victorinox? It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. Yeah. So I have a Leatherman multi-tool, and I have two little Leatherman multi tools that I have on two different keychains,

one for my, what doesn't matter what they're for, but like two different keychains with two different, like mini multi tools, and I've had my eye on this one called the Swiss Tool X, which is supposed to be like the Rolls Royce of multi tools. Do you know what a multi tool is, by the way? It's like the tool with all the little tools on it. Yeah. Yeah, anyhow, they're fucking cool. And it went, it,

Masterop had a, and I'm not trying to, you know, stand Masterop or whatever, but they had a really good deal. Like, there's been selling on, on Amazon, the Amazon price was like 115 bucks, or 160 bucks, and they were selling it on, uh, let me see what I paid actually. They were selling it on Masterop for a really good price. When I'm looking right now, I buy so much shit on Mass Drop, it's fucked up. I mean, they really got me. $89.99.

It was a very good, very affordable price for this thing. Anyhow, so I ordered that and I'm excited to get it. And I do, I will say, I use my leatherment all the time. Like we were carving pumpkins and I was using it to help with, you know, Zelda and Laura and I were carving pumpkins, I used it there a little bit. I fixed things around the house at all the time. Anyhow, so like, I bought this craftsman tool set,

this mechanics tool set a few years ago, which is like 190 pieces of like, in like basically lifetime warranty tools that you can use for a million different things. So yeah, I don't know, maybe this is my, like I don't wanna be like a fucking Tim, the tool man or whatever. But I don't know, I like having,

I mean, the difference that the right tool can make in doing something is monumental. And I like having the right tool handy. This is, are you afraid? You like a party for one. I like to have the right tool in hand. You know what I mean? When I need to really work out a problem.

I mean, I know that in Halloween, I did notice that's all the work. Yeah, we're the same costume this year. Yes, as well. It was a witch. I actually was also, I also went. Wait, it's really similar costume. I went to her parade as a witch.

Hona, I have a picture I'm going to show you. Oh, please do. Right now, I'm going to Hona, I'm trying, I have a picture I'm gonna show you. Oh, please do. Right now, I'm gonna hold on. I'm trying to think of how I can share this with you. Laura and I went to her, I mean, this is so, this is such an amazing, almost second. I wanna, wait, what is the right?

We went to her Halloween parade. Oh, look at these little witches Yeah, Laura, I was wearing the hat but you took it off in this picture. It's a pretty good picture Big picture. I think I look pretty good in this picture And I got a horror robe. I couldn't get the whole full witch outfit. I wanted to have long blonde hair And yeah, what I was saying before about it Here's a great here's a great example of how we appreciated Halloween. Yeah, so Zelda was a witch

and then we dressed up as witches for her, what do you call it? Halloween parade. Yeah. But we didn't dress up later on, which I sort of regret honestly. Anyway, all right, I think that's it. That's all I got.

Everybody go in here. We're expired or discounted Halloween candy. And, candy sounds really good. I think I'm gonna have some candy right now. I've been eating I've been eating a lot of candy We bought candy for my birthday and and now I've been eating candy like every day and I it's definitely bad for my body And I got to stop what isn't I Know tell me about it. Well, all right. Let's Ryan. It's been another another great show

We've we've go vote about every yet. Please. Well, oh, we won been another great show. We've talked about every, yeah, please vote. Well, we won't have another show. That's true. We won't have another show before the midterm. So all I can say now is this is it. We're in the home stretch. Please fucking vote. Please tell all of your friends to vote.

Just get out there, get out there and do the thing. Invite your friends over for whatever things that they're interested in. Be like, we're gonna do a painting party or an orgy or play a game together or whatever you guys all do together and then trick them and and trick them into going to the polls. You have the power you guys have the power to change the future. Don't you want to do that. Don't you want to do that? Don't you want to? Vote! Anyway, go vote!

Get out there. All you have to do is go to your local polling place and just do... Just check all the blue things. Just check all the damn things. Just vote down, party down the ticket. Democrat, the Democrats. You may not love all of them, okay? You may not love. You may feel Okay, you may not love. You may

maybe feel like, oh, they're not socialists enough for me, but you know what? It's fucking better than the alternative, guys. Just consider the alternative. Really think about it. I know you like Chappell Trap House. Okay. I know you think those guys are really smart. I love red, scaren, come town, but just come on. Yeah. You mother. Get it. We know they're funny and they're saying all the stuff you like to hear, but guess what? Reality is not perfect and you're not gonna get your perfect precious fucking socialist candidate. I wish we all had the best candidates, but we're not getting them.

But you know what, we can get some of the good ones, some of the decent ones, and some of the okay ones, and some of the ones that you hate, but like you know, you hold your nose and vote for them anyhow, because the alternative is Mitch fucking McConnell, okay? And he is way worse than any Democrat, except for the guy from West Virginia, what's his name?

No, I have no clue. Fuck that guy to hell. Okay, that's my final. So get out, vote. And by the time we talk to you next week, we better have some serious fucking changes. If there isn't a blue wave, I will hold this listenersership personally responsible.

I agree, I agree. If there's not a blue wave, it's to blame. The tomorrow audience is to blame, period. Well that is our show for this week. We'll be back next week with more tomorrow and as always I wish you and your family the very best though. I think your family just took out Baldwin's parking space so they're fucking dead. you
