Weekly Skews - Weekly Skews - 10/31/23 – Spooky Skews

Episode Date: November 1, 2023

Happy Halloween, Skewers! Tonight we look ahead at the already-ridiculous election cycle looming in 2024. Trick or treat, bayba.Support the show

Talley-ho, skewers, how you doing? Welcome back. Happy Halloween. It is time, once again, for a weekly skews. It's October 31st, naturally, 23. I'm Trey. That's Mark. I don't know.

It looked more like a Randy tonight. Yeah. How's it going on? Actually, so we hopped on the feed and Trey was wearing a costume because he's going trick-or-treating after this with his kids. And I was like, okay, what do I have? And I got this mullet wig is last year. My wife wanted to be Jesse Spano, so I had to be A.C. Slater.

So he got some Bayside Tigers T-shirts and some wrestling pants and just went to a bar. But I put it on. I realized I looked exactly like pictures of my dad when my mom first got married in the 70s. So, yeah, I guess I'm being my dad for Halloween. You know, he was slaying back then. Yeah. Damn sexual Tyrannosaur. I told you before we started.

My dad had a very similar look. Not, hair wasn't quite that long, but pretty close. Otherwise, you're, you're pretty close. Just need an old, old Milwaukee with some Clamato juice in it. And I can, yeah, yeah. Yeah, you did your dad was, my dad wasn't, uh, Clomado. I don't know if we could get Clamato in Clay County, but he was a big beer and mater juice guy, like hugely into that always.

Yeah, most of a fan. You try that, you drink that? Yeah, I mean, that's a, my dad called her, that was a Saturday morning, uh, cocktail after to get rid of the, you know, the hair of the dog, I guess. Drinking a beer and tomato juice and mowed the grass. We got to go back, Tray.

Used to be a proper country. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, Halloween, everybody. I read this piece earlier. I'm not going to wear this wig for long, especially because, you know, we're talking about a little bit of serious stuff later. But also, it's not about that.

You at least look like a serious, your costume is at least a serious man just from another generation. Uh, but so over this piece earlier from a guy who's been trying to debunk the poison slash drugs and Halloween candy story for 40 years. 40 years, this guy's been trying to find a single case where someone put drugs in Halloween candy. And he has not found any except for one where one guy believed in this panic and wanted to murder his own child so he poisoned his own kid and try to pass it off as this thing he thought was happening, which wasn't. But it doesn't matter people still. I saw people posting the most unhinged screens today about how nobody should go trick-or-treating because there's poisoning all the candy and in costumes make kidnapping children easier. And just like, can you fucking idiots, please let everyone stop being scared and have fun for one night?

Yeah. I mean, like, what was like, I mean, yeah, they, I remember, you know, it became a thing and I guess it's still a thing. Like, you know, to only take like wrapped candy. and that type of thing. Because, you know, used to people, like, would make whatever, little, like, popcorn balls or, like, homemade treats and shit like that. And I remember, like, when I was a kid at some point, there was, like, a shift or it was like, yeah, don't accept anything like that.

Can't have that. They might have, you know, drugs in it or razor blades and the caramel apples. Remember that was a specific boogeyman that they put forth. I mean, is anybody, is there any kind of tracing the origin of this? Because everybody's heard it at this point and has been around forever. But, like, does anybody know, like, when that happened or where it came from. It's just one of those things that just popped up.

Yeah, I did, I tried to find, because I remember last year, Fox News went all in on the rainbow hunting on the candy, and it doesn't seem it appeared to be any sort of organized painting like that this year, but I did find where Border Patrol found a bunch of, like, like, they packaged up heroin inside, like, ornate candy wrappers and a couple different seals try to smuggled across the border. And I was thinking about how, like, drugs are expensive. That's why one reason drug dealer wouldn't give them away for free to kids who wouldn't know where they got it, wouldn't know where to come back to buy them were. But like, how can it be so valuable that the cartels will invest in intricate packaging to get it across the border?

But so worthless that people will give it away for free just to get kids high or something. It doesn't make none of it makes any sort of sense. But I'm glad there wasn't outside of few people in social media, there wasn't any sort of organized news sort of like pushing of this panic. So at least we moved on from that. for a little bit at least so that's good i can't do that this too too itchy hair did i tell you have nightmares about having hair you haven't mentioned that that's so funny to make like what's the context of the nightmare like what happens in a nightmare where you have hair you just see a mirror and scream

because you've got hair or what it's it's a growing at like bamboo like rates and i can no matter how often i shave it it will not stop immediately growing back and it's just itchy as shit and it won't stop being it's so funny i know your people do it yeah How completely different you are from Corey Ryan Forrester in that regard. Like, he might have recurring dreams about having hair, but certainly not a nightmare. Like, he's, you know, he desperately wants to have hair. And you're just like, no, fuck, hair don't hit. Hair's just annoying.

No one needs hair. I hope he's watching because I want to say it's because he's a mentally weak man with low self-esteem. True. Yeah, it's a one bit of business Before we get an update before we get to the show We were talking about the 2024 campaign How fucking stupid and off the rails it already is From pretty much every aspect of it

But the United Auto Workers' strike is over They got the last deal with GM Following Ford and Solantis They won a six week strike And they got pretty much everything they were asking for They got record pay increases for most workers It also brings It ends tiered pay

Which has the effect of some Some employees are going to get pay raises as much as 89% Those are people that were put on like minimum wage jobs And they should have been union jobs And now they're full-fledged union jobs And it also puts workers of GM's battery The deal with GM puts their Workers of their battery joint venture with South Korea's

Their battery company under a national agreement So those are unionized jobs So a big fuck you to all the people Including Republicans who were saying he had to choose between electric vehicles and union jobs. Not true. So it's a win for Joe Biden's approach towards this. And I want to show this video of Sean Fane correctly, I think.

Stunton. This is the president of United Auto Workers. This contract is about more than just economic gains for auto workers. It's a turning point in the class war that's been raging in this country for the past 40 years. For too long, it's been one-sided. and working class people have been left behind. That's why this contract is more than just a contract. It's a call to action to workers everywhere,

to organize and fight for a better life. So, hell yeah. A cool thing about this, and Fane is saying, the next time they're up for a contract, I want me negotiating with a big three, and they're negotiating with the big six, because they're fired up to organize all their auto workers.

in America, specifically Tesla, which is a cool thing about how they, they were able to unionize the battery plants and the electric vehicle plants, because Tesla, like, if you're Ford GM and Stalantis, you got to think it's bullshit that you have to pay union wages where the competitors don't. Right. And here you have them working with their unions basically being like, okay, we'll give you this deal, but you got to go fuck with Tesla too. And they're like, okay, Hey, hell yeah. Right. What's the actual, like, how does that, how does a union get established at a company like Tesla?

You know, because obviously Elon has blustered about it a lot over the years. Like unions definitely do not hit for him. And so, I mean, they got a, do you have to do it in secret? Like, do they have to, you know what I mean? Do they have to, like, lobby the employees there secretly until they got enough of them to make a move? and then they all just do one day. They just say, hey, we're unionizing. We all are.

The rules, I don't have the information in front of me, but the National Labor Review Board, National Labor Board has, you know, changed the rules as far as what the requirements are to organize the union. But, yeah, the Tesla's factory in Fremont, California, which has 20,000 workers already has the UAW organizing committee. And they're basically going on talking to their coworkers about the advantages of collective bargaining,

which showing them how big the pay raises that all the, Other order workers, the big three, just got is a pretty easy case to make. And then you get together and hold a big vote. And if you get, you know, a world majority, then you go, hey, you got to deal with this as a group. And then the employer say no. And then you go, okay, we're on strike. Yeah. And then, yeah.

So anyway, stock up on your Tesla parts. If you got a Tesla, also don't get a Tesla. It's better on electric vehicles for cheaper. And their owners aren't fucking psychopaths. Do you see that like, so in Charlottesville, they, the, they, the Robert, Lee statue, they finally took it down and melted it down to turn into a public artwork. Yes. Some guy

claims to be a dependent of, the descendant of Robert Lee was talking about how hurtful it is to his hair and how they want, they want me and all my descendants and ancestors dead. And Musk was like, they absolutely want you dead. I don't know who the they is. Yeah, that was pretty, yeah, that was pretty crazy. Yeah, to do, he's

like, you know, my middle name is Lee because my family's directly descended from Robert Lee and no one cares how insulting this is to us and our whatever the fuck. And yeah, he ends it with saying, these people want my kind to be extinct or something like that. And Musk replied to him and he said, they absolutely want you to be extinct. And it's like, that's a wild ass thing to say, dude. It's like, how does Musk even come across this shit? Why is he fucking? I know, I wonder that all the time. I wonder that all the time, dude, with him on Twitter.

I'll see some of the random things that he replies to or whatever. And I'm like, how did you even see that? You know, because I mean, to hear him tell it, he works. work 17 hour days or whatever. And yet he's on Twitter more than Trump used to be. And he's finding random sub-tweets and stuff. It's like he's a he's a chode, man. If I was a descendant of robbery elite, you couldn't waterboard that shit out of me,

much less going on Twitter to defend his fucking legacy. And also fuck that statue and I think it's cool. We're going to turn into a public artwork. And I hope they've told you it. So it's a piece of artwork that it's, you know, inclusive and all about diversity, the equity and inclusion, and this guy can be driven even more fucking insane. Yeah, I've also wondered about, you mentioned earlier, hey, don't get a Tesla or whatever,

I've wondered about like, because, you know, living in Southern California, dude, you see them all over the place. And I'm sure a lot of the people that own those are like still all gung ho and for it. But I bet there's been some buyer's remorse from some contingent of Tesla owners in the past, you know, a few years, ever since Musk went like full mask off the way that he has and everything. Yeah. I mean, obviously, like, I mean, I wear a lot of Adidas stuff and like Adidas, you know, pivoted by the Nazis, right? Or something like that. Yeah. Adolf Dasler and his brother found the company where like members of the Nazi party and use their factories to make like weapons during World War II. They stopped making shoes. So it's like I don't think that like, you know, consumption is like an endorsement of a part of the company's politics or whatever. But I did, we went out to dinner with some friends on Saturday night and they have a couple of Teslas and my buddy. he just volunteered. I didn't say anything about it.

He was like, yeah, I don't think my next car is going to be a Tesla because Elon's gotten fucking crazy. He doesn't want to like support it. I get that. But also if you wanted it.

But like they're obviously, they're poorly built cars. That's outside of like the politics of the owner or whatever. Like they roll out. There's one of some of the most recall and return vehicles. Some of the most complained about they just like are hand built and there's like giant gaps in the body and things don't line up. It's just like they're not.

If you were going to get an electric vehicle, what would you go with? You said there's all these better options. I know they exist, but like, what are we talking about here? I mean, like, Ford supposedly has great electric vehicles, you know, but they're so prevalent now. You can get one and pretty much every model. I was looking at like, I've always wanted a Jeep and I was looking at like electric jeeps. And I was like, oh, or a hybrid jeeps.

I was like, oh, he's looking fucking cool, man. It looks like, you can get pretty much electric version of or a hybrid version of most vehicles now. So, yeah. Nice. All right. Well, let's get into it. Producer Matt is with us. He's not in costume, just in case you were wondering.

But he's back there doing his thing. I do want to say he did send us a picture of it. He was going to dress up as John Federman. I told him that was too fucking nerdy. He shouldn't leave the house. Yeah, he's back there pulling the strings, doing the things. This is his weekly skews before we continue. I want to remind you of a few things.

As for tonight, like Mark said earlier, we're going to be getting into the already ridiculous 2024 elections, not even 2024 yet, and things are already heating up in terms of absurdity. into it a little later, but first, we begin, of course, with the Daily Dumbass. My graphic, please. Tonight's D.D., anyone who actually knows what the hell Andy Ogles is talking about here from my home state of Tennessee, of course. Here we go again.

The administration's war on appliances continues. First, it was gas stoves, then it was water heaters, and now it's ice makers. I live in the country. I like a glass of ice tea. operative word there is ice all right so Biden coming through our ice makers now I'm just saying Mark this would be a bit of a line in the sand

for me Joe Biden tries to take my eye I'm a I am an ice loving son of a bitch I have to I have to admit so I want to keep the government out of my freezer god damn it got glass of ice water right here we have like my wife is very particular about our ice so we have a standalone ice maker that makes a nuggets or something I don't know it's a waste of money

but so I have good news for you though is the last time I don't think this is real surprise but I the last time we talked about Ogles he'd fabricated his entire resume and it turns out he had I guess he fabricated a moral panic

a consumer product moral panic over nothing because I looked through the news I couldn't even find a press release from him trying to tell me what this was about the closest thing I could find is a statement from the Consumer Product Safety Commission where they were called 8,800 ice makers

because the blades of the auger and the ice maker can break resulting in small pieces of metal going into the ice basket posing a laceration hazard. I don't want metal in my ice. Hell no. But there's eight, so less than 9,000 people

in America are going to have to go through the hassle of mailing their ice maker in for a new ice maker and this is communism terrain. Yeah, moral panic. Right. Is this a, this ain't the one you got? Did you check that? You said you got a standalone ice maker. It makes like nuggets or whatever at. Well, that's what this is.

It'd be wild. How wild would it be if Andy Ogles ended up like saving you from ice laceration with his insanity? I didn't even connect to my own life. I got to, I guess I'm going to get off. I got to check. Make sure I'm not going to die for my ice maker. So, yeah, this is good. But like, the

house is, you know, gone insane even more than you. Like, we had the whole speaker fight. We did the whole Patreon episode of Friday. I'm going to do my new speaker, Megamike Johnson's biography. And so his wife apparently runs, I won't walk through everything, but he's like a crazy creationist, right-wing election denying psycho, who all thinks gay sex should be criminalized, not just gay marriage, shouldn't be legal. But so his wife apparently runs some sort of pastoral consulting service company, you know, tells preachers how to, helps churches with their workplace standards or something.

And she had to take down her website because she had language on there. me read it from the Huffington Post. Her company is called Ownward Christian Counseling Services, and she took down her website a day after the Huff Po pointed to documents on the site that compared homosexuality, beastiality, and incest. Her name's

Kelly, Kelly Johnson. The website said that the business is grounded in the belief that sex is offensive to God if it is not between a man and a woman married to each other. And I just have to say, sex being offensive to God is kind of what makes it hot. Of course. Yeah. Same reason the devil hits, you know, because he likes butt fucking

and whatnot. Yeah, that's the whole thing. You got to, you know, hiding your shame from God and whatnot. That's a big part of many of life's greatest pleasures. But I'm surprised that she felt the need to take it down, frankly. I mean, I felt like in that demo, you know what I mean? Like having that stance on homosexuality, I didn't think would be any kind of problem in the world of Jesus consulting or whatever the hell it is she's doing. It is weird to say that her business is founded or grounded in the belief that sex is offensive to God, if not, because like, so does she deal specifically in just the homophobia and sex panic part of God consulting?

You know what I mean? Like, it's a weird thing. I'm not wide sure why. I'm sure it's not to pay for a consultant, a consultant to tell them how to structure or their HR policies for who to hire at the church or whatever. This whole world seems very weird to me. But they all continue to eat each other alive, even after electing unanimously a new speaker,

it's like Matt Gates on his podcast, and I guess Representative Jason Smith had called him a liar, and he said, Jason Smith called me a liar. It's somewhat predictable projection because he lives a lie every day. Now, Smith is 42 when I'm married, and I guess is openly gay, but also anti-gay as a politician. or maybe not.

Anyway, Gates alerted him, basically, as being gay, whether or not he is. And so they got a good solid 24 hours of unity for the house GOP before they started, I don't know, doing McCarthyism to each other. So, yeah, I don't know what these fucking psychos are up to. Me neither, but I'm not, you know, I don't hate it. I mean, I do kind of hate it because of just the fact that, like, you know, they're in the U.S. Congress. And it causes problems for all of us in the long run with their, you know, know, lunacy gumming up the works so often, but just purely like, you know, from a personal perspective or whatever, it don't bother me at all to see them, uh, tearing each other apart.

I just get my popcorn and sit back, you know, yeah, comparing gay, gay people to, people to do bestiality is just such a 2009-ass hateful opinion. It feels like a real, I know it's one years, but it feels like it would come along away in 14 years on that stuff or we have. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Like, it's weird. I saw some public polling about this the day that, like, approval for, you know, just gayness in general is still overwhelming in America, it's 64%, but is down 71% a couple years ago. I'm guessing just part of the Trump effect is people feeling less social pressure to say the right thing.

Right. Right. Oh, yeah. Still fucking not great, but, yeah, I don't, it's a crazy-ass country. Yep. And our honorable mention, yeah, speaking of which, our honorable mention for Daily Dumbass,

anyone who doesn't think that whoever the next Republican president is wouldn't go full Vlad the Impaler on some asses. Let's see what the Vec has to say about Israel's situation. I would love nothing more than for the IDF to put the heads of the top 100 Hamas leaders on stakes and line them up on the Israel Gaza border as a sign that October 7, 2023 will never happen again and then to use all of those saved resources

to build the border defenses of the future. You know, the heads on spikes move is not the same, it's not exactly the same kind of PR swing that it was in the dark ages, you know what I mean? I don't think it has exactly the same effect that used to, but it used to be very effective as I understand it back when, you know, we still didn't believe in math and all that type of shit. So, yeah, it's a wild thing to say out loud.

It's like, obviously, Hamas sucks, but a hundred heads on stakes outside the city walls or whatever, like, good Lord. Yeah, I'm not a pacifist. I don't have any problem with, like, you know, killing members of Hamas who've enlisted voluntarily, you know, as soldiers in a, you know, a gross war. but the uh but i do just wanted to say that people are feeling empowered talking back to like openly saying awful shit in that poll by gay people like the people like are just feel this conflict is enabled people to say some of the most awful shit yeah some of it's just historically stone deaf some of it's just idiotic like as spokesman for iser was talking about their he compared their strategy against tamas to like like america after pearl harbor doing like the the jimmy do little

raid on Tokyo and the Dresden fire bombings. I just want to say, like, everyone all over the world was so grossed out by how World War II was fought. Everybody came together after World War II and invented a concept known as war crimes, so people wouldn't do that anymore.

And like, nobody was like, man, I'm glad we did the Dresden fire up. I mean, we won the war, but you know what I'm saying? Nobody thought there's like, wait, maybe we should not have targeted some flames on purpose as a part of destroying the Nazi war machine. But Yeah, I mean, you know, Herbonyget wrote about the horrors of the Dresden firebombing, like, you know, decades ago or whatever.

Like, I feel like it's not, I've never gotten the impression that it was, like, a celebrated thing that happened, in spite of the fact that, like, we were the good guys and we won the war or whatever. Uh-huh. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, when you're comparing your strategies to U.S. dropping the, uh, yeah, atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, it's like, okay. I mean, like, historians can debate whether or not that was useful all day, but no one thinks it was good that it came to that.

I don't think so anyway. So the hate crime, like one of the reasons, like, so Secretary of State Blank and testified for the Congress today, and he was interrupted by a protest calling for a ceasefire. And it's the position of most countries and governments and organizations around the world that to call for a ceasefire, doctors without borders, a lot of members of United Nations, a lot of countries in Europe. yada yada yada uh two big standouts not doing so the united states and of course israel and you blinkin and kirby from the national security council said it's uh it'll give hamas time to regroup or yada yada yeah anyway Hillary said the same thing i saw she there was a clip i heard that went viral you know asking like if you were secretary of state what would you know and she said the same thing she's like it's just not how it works she's like if you have a ceasefire

all that's going to do is give hamas time to beef up and do more hamas shit or you know whatever it was a little more eloquent than that the way she put it but uh you know what i'm yeah i just like this thing where we pretend they're on equal like like it's an equal fight or something where like hamas has any regrouping to do is weird to me although i'm not an expert on it so maybe i'll point on that but i think it'd be useful for the rest of us to have a ceasefire because the world is fucking tearing itself apart um the hate crimes worldwide yeah some of them are crazy like there's some crazy shit going on around the world as a result of this whole thing so just a short list uh Here in L.A., police inva opened the hate crime investigation after a guy yelling free Palestine, which is probably fine, been killed Jews, not fine.

He'd be kept in the back door of a Jewish family's house and entered, that's not fine. The Pennsylvania State Capitol man pulled up to a pro-Palestine protest, yelled anti-Muslim racist slurs and pointed a gun at people from his car. Synagogues and Jewish businesses have been vandalized all over the country. Flyers saying Jews waived war in American freedoms were put on vehicles. all over Orange County here in California. And that's just the anti-Semitism, but they have anything to do with the conflict, really. But, like, Palestinian restaurants are getting downvoted on Yelp,

which I don't know what the connection is there. But, like, also, like, a Jewish ice cream owned ice cream shop in San Francisco shut down after being graffitied. None of this has anything to do with anything. And, like, everyone's just sort of, we talked about on Friday a little bit. Everyone's just enlisting in this war. And I don't know. It's like a weird main character syndrome thing happening.

But also, like, Foxx. news is telling people that 10,000 Hamas fighters are streamed across the southern border, which is not mathematically possible. And a woman in Dorcaster, England, do we talk about this? I can't remember I mentioned, I don't think I mentioned in the show. I think I might text to you guys about it.

But, so Hamas on October, on the October 7th attack, one of the ways they attacked was using paragladders, parachute planes of the fan on the back. I mentioned those before. So this woman in Dorcaster, England, and saw some people recreationally flying paragliders and called police saying that Hamas was attacking Dorcaster England.

Right. They're like, no, they're not ladies, just people flying around a paraglider. And she went to the newspaper and complained about how insensitive it was for these paragliders to spend their Saturday afternoon flying around recreationally when obviously anyone would think that Hamas was invading England. Yeah, Dorcaster, England, especially, you know what I mean? Like, I doubt that's high on their priority list,

let alone the fact that they obviously I don't have the capacity to launch that kind of operation I don't think Christopher Ray, the FBI director testified in front of Congress today that Hamash could inspire a bunch of like stochastic like copycat

attacks around the United States and the world which is theoretically possible ISIS successfully did it to the extent they even tried to do it. Sometimes people just do shit but I don't know what the FBI is going to be able to do about it other than go back here doing war on terror stuff like trying to entrap the dumbest member of every mosque and some sort of stupid fucking

caper um but like you don't have to like everyone just calm down like like it's just it's absolutely fucking insane and the craziest one this happened over the weekend in russia um a mob of people in dougastan which is like a a russian territory with a muslim majority took over an airport in a city called makachala sorry if i'm saying that wrong a flight landed from Tel Aviv and they took over the airport looking for Jews to kill. Yeah, and I read, I read that a lot of the people who were on that flight were people like from there, like from Daegasana, like people from there who had been like seeking medical treatment or shit like that in Tel Aviv and were flying home and then the plane

gets overrun by all these people looking to kill Jews. I'm sure there were some Jews on that plane, but I'm just saying it was a, yeah, a bit of a shit show. It's wild that an angry mob of people could just. storm a runway at an airport anyway, but especially in Russia where like they'll,

I mean, they've literally would firebom their own people to get around ask, I see any Cheshan. But so if you wonder

looking for a Jewish person in the airport looks like, this is one of the dumbest things I've ever fucking seen in my life. Yeah, looking in the engine.

Any Jews in there? Where's the Jews there? What the fuck, man? So about 60 of these dudes got caught routed up by Russian police or civil defense forces

or whatever that finally got there. and their punishment for embarrassing the state of Russia is having to join the Russian military and go fight Ukraine. So RIP to those dudes. Oh, God. But it's just like, so back here in America, like a Muslim woman was sitting at a apartment complex picnic table

was stabbed to death in Texas last week. That was just two weeks after a six-year-old in Chicago was stabbed to death by his landlord because his family was Palestinian. And that guy was friends with them. he was he was the one wasn't just a landlord he was friends of the family but watched the news and got so mad at just the general concept of Palestinians the attack to a woman and a kid and killed the kid and the woman I saw was surviving but like so her kid fucking die dude um and this is like like nationalist government governments and movements are going to grab a hold of this to tear everybody apart because that's what they fucking do and not just here in the United States but all over the world it's just like and this is a fight ostensely between like Arab Muslims. and Jewish Israelis that is somehow going to end up making Jewish people worldwide and Muslims worldwide less safe. It already has. For sure.

It's definitely like just an excuse for big chunks of the populace on both sides of it to, you know, just openly air their hatred, racism or xenophobia or whatever. Because I do a lot of this shit. And again, it is on both sides of it. It's, but like, you know, like you say, a lot of these like free Palestine. and stuff that happened in this country in London or wherever, and it's like a lot of like college kids and that type of shit. But at every one of them, there are also people there literally chanting to kill the Jews and that type of thing.

Like they just openly talk, you know, I mean, they want to eradicate them. And then the same thing is true on the other side. And it's just like, I don't know. It's just really showing a lot of people's true colors in their response to this situation. I'm seeing articles by out and out white support.

premises who are, you know, uh, you know, uh, anti-Semitic, having takes, like an article is reposted from theirs by ostensibly left-wing people who don't, who agree with the point, but don't know, they're siding with literal Nazis. Um, right. Yes. I know. Yeah, exactly. I know that, that, that type of thing is what's been so wild. It's like just as a lefty or whatever, you got to be, I'll be more careful, uh, with this particular subject, or at least that's how I feel about it you know what i mean because there's a lot of whatever you're you may have the purest of intentions where all this goes or whatnot but like you know getting into bed with some unsavory types when it comes right and doesn't now i'm not i was going to say it doesn't

mean they're points wrong like hitler like dogs i like dogs we can agree on one thing but like it doesn't fucking it's it's still not a good look to be like just don't promote these people but like while there is anti-semitism there's anti-semitism everywhere But there's anti-Semitism on the left, but like most of it in American politics, the organized part of it, is very right wing, right? And so this fight is made for such strange fucking bedfellows. Like, Rhonda Sandsis has gone all in on being pro-Israel while at the same time protecting and coddling a bunch of neo-Nazis in Florida.

Right. Yeah. I mean, it's one of the strangest dichotomies in all of American politics. And we've mentioned it multiple times in the past couple weeks. But I mean, because you're right. Like generally, you know, which side hates the Jews or is anti-Semitic? They're right, but they're also fervently pro-Israel, you know, at the same time. And, you know, again, there's a bunch of reasons why.

And some of the hardcore Christian ones, it's like biblical in nature and whatnot. But, I mean, either way, it's a wild dynamic. Right. And if somebody's like, I suppose, like, if I was like a Jewish person, Israel and an American evangelical was like, we support you. And I'd be like, thank you. But then the second part of that is I support you. because I believe in the book of Revelation is literal. And I think that for Jesus to come back, you have to die on a horrible war and then go to hell.

Right. And they're like, wait, that's not the kind of support. Yeah, right. Yeah, not that part. I don't like that. Yeah. Yeah. So this one guy's state rep name, let me find his name here, state representative named Randy Fine, he's one of the, I think the only Jewish member of the Florida legislature.

he turned he was a big de santa supporter and because of like we're talking about a bunch of nazis been around in florida hanging up signs and stuff we talked about it before but like chanting stuff like jews get the rope hanging swastikas over freeway overpasses um stas has made it a point to stay quiet over this other republicans in the state have condemned it desantis whenever he's asked about it acts like it's a trap to like make it look like he's siding with the nazis which is very easy you do is say i don't support nazis but then the nazis don't like you and you get less vote. So that's what the trap is in, right? So this guy named Fine wrote an opinion column. He said, Desantis has failed to confirm anti-Semitism more publicly had, quote,

broken his heart in an interview with the New York Times. He said he'd been dismayed by Mr. DeSantis' lack of leadership after the neo-Nazi marches. So he decided to endorse Donald Trump. Donald Trump, who famously owned one book, and it was a book of Hitler speeches, that he kept on his bedside table, and last week said, Hesbola is smart. Right. So, yeah, I don't think your calculator is working right on this one, Mr. Fine. But I understand as a Jewish Republican, your options are limited. But maybe you should be considered the Republican part of your identity. So in other political news having to do this, House Republicans, after finally having a leadership and getting back to being able to pass bills, are trying to figure out what to do about

Israel and Ukraine aid. The Biden administration has for $14.3 billion for Israel. And they're trying to counter it by cut. They say, okay, we got it. got to balance it out. So we're going to cut 14.3 billion from the IRS funding in the Inflation Reduction Act. All right. Right. The IRS, which serves to, you know, collect the money for the government. The $14.3 billion?

Yeah. Yeah. It's an incredibly cynical move for a couple of reasons. One, every dollar you cut an IRS funding, there's about $2 a revenue. So basically, cutting $14 billion from the IRS adds about $30 billion to the, to the deficit. Also, like, IRS finally got around,

I think everyone's complaining about for years, got around in this bill, giving money to build a free digital tax filing system, you know, they had never done because it would fuck with like, you know, HNR blocks money and what's the tech? Turbo tax.

Turbo tax, yeah. Basically, they were just trying to protect their little, you know, their little hustles. So they finally got around to tax on that. The GOP is trying to do away with it to make you pay to do your taxes again.

You got to pay somebody. else to give the government their money. There's also a thing where, like, if you actually want to fight terrorism, one of the ways the government does it is the IRS cracks down on the kind of like dark money floating around the international finance that funds terrorism. Here's an operation a couple months ago where the IRS criminal investigation special agents from the cybercrime division played a central role in seizing Hamas-lane cryptocurrency accounts because pretty much the only use case for cryptocurrency is doing illegal shit or terrorism

internationally. And so they're trying to make it easier to fund Hamas in the guise of helping Israel. So fuck these guys. While also increasing the deficit, you know, like what,

yeah, costs in the country more money. And fuck it. Yeah, everything they do is just, you know, completely counterproductive. But,

you know, got to, got to make it look like you're doing, you know, everybody hates IRS agents, get rid of them, help Israel out. So it's a win,

win. except if you don't think about it. Yeah, I hate traffic too, but also I am traffic. When you're in traffic, you are the traffic you're complaining about. It's like some things in the world just stuck. You've got to pay taxes if you want to have roads and schools and a discussion. All right. Let's help of the election.

Yep. Yeah, let's get into it. So first things first, Mike Pence out, right? Yeah. I wonder how much I had to do with that picture that everybody saw. We shared the picture, right, on the previous episode of Skews, I think, with him in like some like CVS pharmacy or it looked like it was him like at an event and there was like eight old people there who looked like they wanted desperately to die rather than be there like

they're just like their faces were just like you're not a single one of them seemed to be enjoying it looked like they were forced there against their will or something and shortly after that he drops out i'm sure he had a few of those in a row and it was like okay maybe this isn't working yeah that was the peak of pencementum i think uh but it might you be going going even worse for Ron DeSantis, who's now pretty much solidly in third behind Mickey Haley. And he went on a podcast the other day, hosted by a Trump supporter. And I cannot imagine this going more humiliatingly.

And he needs to play that. I'm sure your marketing team points out how they're trying to troll you in the marketplace. Okay. I'm sure they're doing that. Can you bring this one clip? I know you were on, what do you call it, on what was it? Bill Maher and Bill Maher talked about the boots. I've seen you walk with these boots.

Go ahead and play this clip. This on TikTok went viral. It doesn't have a million views. It doesn't have, you know, 10 million views. This thing's got 1.2 million likes. And some people are wondering. What are they, I don't even, I haven't seen that. What they're not showing this deal.

Okay, what they're trying to say with this is that in your boots, you have heels. No, no, no, no. Those are just standard off the rack, Lucchasee. How tall are you, Governor? 511. 511 okay why don't you wear tennis shoes and dress shoes uh i do wear tennis shoes when i work out yeah you do okay i got a gift for you i'd love for you to wear okay i shop at furgonne put on the shoes ron i don't accept gifts i can't accept it i'm sorry shoes is to try on the shoes

this got bought so you can do a height test in a different pair of shoes on the one he's where by the way like he said he's 511 there according to the yale's baseball roster when he was on the team he was listed 511 there too so if he's been lying about as high he's been doing it for 20-some years um so yeah and 511 is like i mean i know you know apparently like on tender six foot's the absolute minimum i've always heard you know for but i like you know that's like that's like that's like the acceptable standard which is ridiculous by the way but i'm saying 511 it's not like it's not absurd like that's a perfect respectable height to be 5-11.

It's above average. So if he actually, yeah, right. So, like, because we're going to see another video here in a minute, you know, I mean, I feel like the evidence is pretty compelling personally that something is up with his footwear. Yeah. But if he is legitimately 5-11, I don't understand why he's fooling with it. He's like, he's just got to be as tall as Trump in his mind or something. I don't know.

Yeah. Yeah. I mean, the taller guy usually wins an election, so he's got a real dilemma there. but also like Joe Biden beat Trump and he's shorter than Trump, so I don't know. But so I was thinking about this, and he had wearing lifts and Donald Trump wearing makeup and Trump also might be wearing lifts.

And I was, I wonder if Ron DeSantis wear spanks. So I googled it. And there was a hit on it about somebody theorizing that's where he's standing. So it's where I wear spanks. But also there's a huge trending hashtag on TikTok called Ron DeSantis shapewear. So apparently people are already on this beat.

But after this horrific encounter on this podcast, Politico interviewed three expert shoemakers who make shoes with lifts in them for short people about whether or not DeSantis is wearing height boosters and they were like,

oh yeah, definitely. They can tell him on looking at the shoes that he's definitely wearing lifts in his shoes or extra high heels or whatever inside his shoes because there's something about the way

the boots are built like the tops too wide which is what happens. What's why you watch? You can see the outline on the top of his boots and his pant leg because the lifts pushing it.

I don't know. These guys are experts. I mean, they do look weird. Right, I'm not a boot expert, but I feel like anybody can just look at the boots he wears and something does look off about them for sure. So if he's like expert bootmakers, like, yeah, what's off about them is there's fucking high hills in there or whatever? I'm like, I'm inclined to believe it.

I'm no bootmaking expert either. But the funny part was these bootmakers, one of them is in Houston. Apparently he makes custom boots with lifts and them for politicians all the time. all over Texas. This is apparently a really common thing. But you don't have to be a boot expert because I just watched this viral video. Matt, remember not to play the sound investment because it's set to staying alive by the BGs.

Yeah, you guys just imagine staying alive playing in your head as you watch this. Yeah. So watch him walk pretty well. But yeah. Yeah. This was to me, this was like when I saw this and I slowed it down and I saw what they're actually

talking about here, I was like, oh shit, okay. Like I feel like this is just keep, let it go. it's uh it they slow it down watches uh the front end of his foot when it comes up look that right there you see that and they pause it don't there or something there you go matt there you go

look at look at that right there yeah it reminds me on how i used to walk when i was a little kid wearing my dad's work boots right you know so if you're only just listening like basically the the boot creases incredibly when his when he takes the step like it bent bends, like almost a 90 degree angle halfway down the middle of his boot, which I don't think would be possible if there's an actual foot up in the front part of the boot because foots don't bend that way, which means the foot is further back in the boot, which means it's lifted up and at an angle, presumably. Yeah. Maybe he's missing the front half of his feet. That's the real thing that's wrong with him. So this is an incredibly dumb thing to be the final nail in your campaign coffin, but like, he's kind of lucky this is what people are talking about because in substance he's even worse.

Okay, so he went on meat to press this weekend. This is in the wake of a mass shooting last week in Lewiston, Maine, where 18 people were killed, another 13 were injured. It's awful. 18, by the way, is the total number of homicides in Maine all of last year,

I think, so they basically equal to all last year and one fucking mass shooting because one psycho can get a machine gun and walk around with it. Yeah, and he got away for a little while, too. I mean, they finally found him dead. Oh, it was like a large for me.

He went to, like multiple places and shit, didn't he? And, like, eluded him and all that stuff for a little bit. It was pretty. Yeah. Yeah. Not only did cops fail to stop at this any point because he was, he was, he had been reported for being a psycho by his like, uh, comrades in the military.

He was in the army reservists and they tried to turn him in saying he's dangerous. I think he's going to do a school shooting. Cost to his house once trying to interview him, couldn't find him and gave a, uh, he, this guy, he went to, he went to buy a silencer the week before and suppressor silencers, was able to call him a harder to get than guns. And so we had to fill out a form. And the form had a box to check about whether or not he'd been adjudicated mentally unstable or insane. He checked yes to the box.

They didn't sell him the silencer, but he still was able to get guns. All right. So the Santas was asked about this, about whether or not, like, the government should take away this guy's guns when he, like, his coworkers were saying they heard voices and he was dangerous and shit. And he was basically said, no, because gun owners shouldn't have their due. should have due process rights. But then he proposed involuntary commitments for people that are like that. So you won't take away their guns, but you will take away their freedom without due process.

There's been a, Trump's always taught of bringing it back insane asylums. These people are fucking idiots. But so the conversation reached this point where he just looked like an utter buffoon. I'm not quite sure what he was even trying to talk. You can look, you know, in Florida, our crime rates at a 50 year low and our violent crime rates down 30% since I've been governor. So we're handling it strong. Governor, actually, statistically speaking, the CDC says that the firearm mortality rate is

actually higher under your administration than it was under your predecessors' administration. But I do want to move on to the campaign. And just the what mortality rate? No, no. The firearm mortality rate. Well, I don't know, but I was actually high underd short-circuited. That's according to the CDC.

Let me move on to the campaign, Governor. You can cut it back. So he tries to particularly get misheard or talk about the COVID excess mortality rate. And she's talking about the firearm mortality rate. But like, I can see what his brain's doing there because this is one of those lies, damn lies in statistics type situations where if you want to think about why the fire or mortality rate could be up while the overall violent crime rate is down. The answer is going to something like this. Well, a mass shooting is one crime, even if a bunch of more people died, right? Right.

But he doesn't want to say that. He also doesn't want to say they're like, well, we looted a lot of. of those homicides of fire immortalities, stand your ground cases where the murderer got away with it. He doesn't want to say that. And he also doesn't want to say what a lot of those are suicides. A lot of my fucking people in my state are so miserable they kill

themselves. He doesn't want to say that. So that's the trap he was not able to answer honestly, even though we did have a code of defense of that statistic. So other candidates still in this race, Chris Christie for some reason, who tweeted this out, his campaign tweeted out this today,

Donald Duck. he's been calling Donald Trump Donald Duck for ducking the debates for like two months now. It's not sticking, but he's still doing it. I know. He's so proud of it, dude. Yeah, yeah. He's so into it. Yeah, and it's one of those things. It's like, it's like that line for Maine Girls, whatever. It's like, stop trying to make

fetch happen. It's not going to happen. It's that with him calling Trump, Donald Duck. Also, this is like that's AI generated, right? It looks like it. Yeah. It looks like it. Yeah. It looks like it. It's funny to imagine that he's like playing around with the proms, getting the best, the perfect

Trump duck picture. Also, the caption that said, only Chris Christie can stop this ducking guy. So, you know, a little autocorrect joke in there. I saw all the top replies to it that I saw before I stopped scrolling were just people saying, you suck.

This stuff only works for Trump because his fans are the dumbest people on the planet, they hoot and hollered for it. It's not going to work with a fucking normal person. It's stupid. So it's not about Joe Biden for a minute because, like, Republicans for some reason, cannot figure out of anything to attack him on. I'm like, I know why

it's like, because he's just a normal affable white guy, so the scarecognomy doesn't work. And also he's just like governing like a centrist. They don't have a lot to hit him with. Right. But like, this the weirdest couple things that they've been trying to latch on to, like this was in Fox News yesterday.

Joe Biden was talking about the web telescope, which is a thing that does exist. Yes. Dude, it was host. I was like pumped about the James Webb Telescope for like, 15 years or something. People that like keep up in space shit or whatever

were waiting on that thing to go up for the longest time. It was like a big, like in my mind, it was like a prominent thing. I thought that like a lot of people were pretty aware of. But apparently not everybody

got the memo. Right. They apparently haven't heard it. And so this happened. This is not going to help us in the long run. Did he call it the web telescope? Isn't it the Hubble?

Is he thinking of web Hubble? I don't understand. Who knows? But look, his performance today, Laura, we're so... Okay. There is almost nothing that I hate more than, like, people, like, being super condescending and, like, laughing condescendingly about a thing that they're wrong about. Like, I hate that.

It's one of my biggest pet peeves in the world. Like, I sent you guys in the group's chat. That video of that chick talking about how dinosaurs obviously weren't real. and the way she was talking about she's like, okay, pretty sure if there were dinosaurs, we'd be finding them all the time. Everyone would, but okay.

It's like just talking like, talking all smarmy and shit all Bill Maher like, but about something you're just super wrong about. I hate that, dude. Makes me want to slap the shit out of whoever is doing it. So I just wanted to say that. Yeah. And also

how disease the brains are. They haven't read any news in the last couple years. I know about the James Webb tell us. but the thought maybe he's talking about Webster Hubble who had forgotten about he was a guy in the first Clinton administration who resigned from the DOJ because of whitewater they remember that

but they haven't heard of the Webb telescope I don't fucking know so also this week Joe Biden had a Halloween event where Kay was holding fake ice cream and he did a bit where he pretended to eat the fake ice cream and they made play the video this is apparently a scandal this drives me so inside dude

So, yeah, like I said, like, I felt any person who has a kid, you don't even have to have a kid. If you've just ever been around like kids, you know, that, you know, how much of a nothing thing this is. Yeah. Right. Yeah. So he just takes the fake ice cream, licks it. And, of course, no sound like. You got it.

That's too loud. So. Yeah. A little, a small child has a fake ice cream cone. He takes it. It's like, mm-mm, that's good stuff, which is like small child fucking 101 shit. Like it's nothing at all remotely weird or dumb or anything about that. And they're trying to run with this. Like they're trying to like, like, do the people, their demographic, like, do they genuinely believe like, oh my God, he doesn't know you can't eat plastic ice cream? he's so old and senile he thinks you can eat plastic ice cream and like that's what they're presenting and their people believe it blows my mind dude it's like that's so clearly not what happened there like it's it's insanity it's from other planet like you that's the rnc's twitter research twitter account if you scroll their posts like every third one's one about joe bite need an ice cream they really think it's like a like a huge like controversy or like

scandal that he eats a lot of ice cream remember like they're this piece is been talking about like how they can't really figure out what to make fun of him for it's like Joe Biden has lost a step none of those things are examples of it right you just play clips of him talking the 90s he talks a lot slower now than he gets to which is fine I don't think like point it out if you want to but there's a weird thing going on here um where Joe Biden is like polling about their age no I we'll get that to the Trump section sorry I know running out of time. Remember when they tried to make it a big deal that Joe Biden petted a dog in Hawaii? It was like a scandal to be petted a dog. Like this is all the part of the same thing.

It's like there's legitimate stuff to debate here, guys. You don't have to fucking find these weird things try to make like controversies out of thin air. But this one, this Joe Biden thing hit for me. When Joe Biden was talking about the Web Telescope, he was at a press conference, he was announcing someone sort of executive order on trying to establish rules for AI.

Right. He apparently got all hot and bothered to potentially. make stricter regulations on AI after watching Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning, which plot involves artificial intelligence the story in the world. And I was like, can we get Joe Biden to watch Oppenheimer? Because there's other

more pressing needs in the world right now, although AI does suck and does scare me a little bit. So that's weird. So what we're talking about who is not senile or insane? Trump gave a speech in I forget was it doesn't matter where it was

I forget where it was because he forgot where he was he was in Sioux City, Iowa he was in Sioux City, Iowa and he called Go ahead Matt Yeah Very big hello to a place

where we've done very well Sioux Falls Thank you very much Sue Falls Thank you And then some guy comes up and whispers to him And you can kind of hear him

very lowly on the line mic He says You're actually in Sioux City Iowa of Mr. President or whatever he says. And he goes like to mic and says Sioux City. So, yeah. So that's like a very, this is spinal tap moment. It could happen to anybody.

But this stuff is happening so often with him that even the New York Times had noticed, the New York Times who like, you know, basically sucks Trump's dick 24-7. This headline here, how Trump's verbal slips could weaken his attacks on Biden's age. And this article points out that the wrong city thing steps on a bit Trump's been doing in his stump speech for months. So he has a fictional scene that he acts out. a lot where he pretends to be Joe Biden mistaking Iowa for Idaho and needing an aid to straighten him out. So literally what he was hypothesizing, what happened to Joe Biden, just happened to him, which hit for me.

They just can't help but do that. You know what I mean? Like they're so like inherently hypocritical or whatever you want to put it at their core that like they just fall bass backwards into like irony and, uh, and projection and all that shit all the time. The funny part of this article is they polled, like, who being old hurts more, Trump or Biden. And basically, like, if you can brand Joe Biden is senile, Trump wins. But if you brand them both is equally senile, Joe Biden overwhelmingly wins those voters. So basically voters are like, well, if a choice between a senile guy and a psychotic guy, I will take the psychotic guy. Right. But your choice between a senile guy and a senile psychotic guy, I will take the first senile guy. Right.

So, Matt, go ahead and final few minutes here, get some questions to comment for us. An enemy an inimony says a longtime viewer says Sioux City, Sioux Falls, whatever. They're both in North Lakota, right? I flew over it once. It's a beautiful place, really tremendous. They're doing a Trump thing. Yes, I like it. That's funny.

We talked about this before. That's also always kind of driven me crazy because it's like, you know, like they're both old. have all these gaffes and say all these white you know what i mean it's like them talking about biden being old see now when trump had the whole fucking mental capacity thing when he was still president and like it's like okay they're both old and whatever losing a step or whatnot but one of them is also a lunatic dip shit on top of that so it's like i don't understand you know how that's this huge knock against biden considering who his opposition is debby lind robinson says hit that like button everybody thank you debby lind yes please do

like it to smash that like button subscribe to the channel if you're not already and do all that other internet stuff on that note if you are a viewer but you ever listen to a podcast on your phone go to your podcast app and subscribe to the skews if you don't mind it's free you don't cost you nothing makes us look better we'd appreciate it leave a five star review I don't know why I said that that way yeah just just took the score on my phone the rangers are five nothing dog hell yeah nice yeah sports fan people. Sorry. Ah, like this question. Kim Coussido, another long time of year, it says candy corn, yay or nay. For me, it's a hell nay, personally. Where are you at, Mark?

I like candy corn. I don't seek it out, but I'm fine with it. I find it to be. And I'm a, I was a fat kid, too. And like, even as a fat kid, I was like, I don't fuck with this stuff. I just never hit for me at all. It's not a Halloween candy, but there are very few canties I find objectionable. One of them is peeps. I just can't stand peeps in Easter, because, Yeah, the texture of like a real baby chick or something. It feels like I'm just eating a real baby. I don't know what it is. Yeah, I'm not down with peeps either.

People say that the secret to peeps is you got to like leave them open for a day or so and they get kind of stale and it improves the texture. Still not a huge fan, just saying. Carla Barrick says, an enemy anemone, they're saying this too, an enemy anemone. As someone from South Dakota, I salute you. Yeah. Yeah. Hitting for people in here.

What were you at on black licorish? I find that to be the most, like, offensive candy in existence. They love them, some of them Europeans over there, them Scandinavian types and the Viking, Viking people. They love that shit, apparently, and I just can't, I don't know how people do it. Jaeger kind of tastes like black licorish, but it gets you hammered, so that's okay.

I was going to say, like, I never like licorice candy, but in my 20s, I did enjoy a lot of Yeagermeister. Sure, me too. Yeah. Deb Marsh says I feel safer with Joe in charge. I mean, as well, you should. He doesn't. Compared to Trump.

He doesn't go on Twitter and threaten to launch nukes. Right. So, yeah. So there's that. Right. Yeah. I remember it was a huge talking point in the last election, and I still generally feel that way where it's like, and then after Biden won and everything.

It's just like, we still hear about Trump and his insanity all the time. But like when he was president, it was just something new every other day, something new and bad every other day. It's like, it was like living in existential terror all the time. And it's like, I just like having a president who I mostly don't hear about unless it's them calling him stupid for playing around

with a kid in the ice cream cone. Like, you know, where people in Hawaii got an alert about in-coming, nuke's incoming from North Korea after Trump had been talking shit to them. And they all kiss their families goodbye and huddled in their basement. That happened. Yeah. It did happen.

Red wave of ketchup. episodes. Trey, when y'all coming to Colorado? I was actually just thinking about that earlier today. I've been, I'm definitely due to come back to Denver. So I need to tell my agent to make that happen. Hopefully next year, um, 2024 at some points. One of my favorite, one of, one of the best comedy clubs in the country is in Denver, Denver comedy work. I mean, actually a lot of comics think it, it is the best comedy club in the country. And it's certainly one of my favorites. So love it there. Hope to come back soon. If you are not in Denver, I don't know. I've done Boulder before. Maybe I try to hit up Colorado Springs, something like that.

But usually if I go to Colorado, it's Denver. If you're in near Denver, my buddy Al Jackson does comedy around there a lot. He hosts the local morning show there. So go see Al, I'll tell him. I say, hey, he's there. Also, my boy, Sam Talent is a Denver comic, who's, I think, one of the best comics in the country. He's fantastic. So you probably catch him around Denver, too.

Great guy, funny guy. All right. Well, that'll do it. Listen, guys. Like I said, go to Treycroutor.com. Check out my dates. Come and see me. Check out the book with me and Corey and over yonder.

all on traycrowder.com and also support this show on patreon and get bonus episodes in the process. But the main thing is you keep coming back home, skews d's, and we will too. We'll see you in seven days. Love you by. Happy Halloween.
