Weekly Skews - Weekly Skews - 7/30/24 – The Unified Theory of Weird

Episode Date: July 31, 2024

Skewers tonight we’re getting into the new and entertaining approach to campaigning by Team Harris and the Dems: just talk about how frickin’ weird these weirdos are. And so far…seems to be working out (probably on account of them being super weird). Should be a fun one, and yes, the couch is gonna come up. Support the show

what's up everybody welcome back happy skews day to you it's july 30th 2024 i'm tray that's mark hey mark hey buddy how you doing uh you're good yeah welcome home you're out of town for a while that's right yeah and that was a big that was like that was a big episode to miss you know last week everything that was going on so how did uh how did cori do he did fine i don't think you made mad. Yeah, he didn't sign this time. Or, well, I'm sure he did, but not, you know, like the good, fun type of him signed. Not to, like, what the hell was that?

Not talking about butt sex right before he brings a congressional candidate on. Yeah, but yeah. Speaking of time, we had a congressional candidate on, one of my podcasts about to my feet today where the guest was J.D. Shulton, who we've had on our show before, at least once, maybe a few times. But back when he was running for Congress in Iowa and against Steve King, the Nazi. And he's a state rep now, but it was on, you should guys go to listen to it. It's a great interview of Pablo Tori finds out.

But he's 44 years old and he just got called back up to play a minor league baseball in Sioux City, Iowa. He's in the middle of having, he was volunteered in music festival, two beers in like, hey, can you pitch tonight? And he went and won the game. And now he's just on the roster as a guy at his mid-40s playing baseball as a state legislator. And it's just, just Kevin Koster movie, dude. They brought that up. Kevin Koster actually narrated one of his campaign ads back with A. He nearly lost his Steve King.

Anyway, he's like, he's like, I'm a big fan of J.D. He's like, he's the cool J.D. And as a, you know, Platonic ideal of a politician to me because he doesn't like politics or want power. He just wants to help his neighbors and play baseball. And like, yeah. Can everybody do that? It's always been kind of the problem, the inherent problem of politics is that a lot of time,

not universally, but a lot of times like the people that want to do that job are absolutely not the people who should be doing it. It's like it almost was like if we could like, I'm pretty sure, at least in some, during some time frames in ancient Greece and their democracy, like, you could just be, like, elected to one of their positions or whatever, like, whether you even wanted to or not. And then you just had to do it because, you know, back down. They'd probably throw you in a pit or something if you said no.

But, like, you know, something like that might work. We should press good people into political service. Yeah. Just give it a shot. Every town has a draft a guy. We mentioned what the today's show is about. Today's show is going to be about the message of these guys are weird and why we think, why I think it's working.

And basically, getting losers, we're going bullying is the fucking theme of the night show. Yeah. So before we get to that, I want to talk about the Olympics for a minute, because I know you've been watching as I, as have I. There was a wingnut kerfuffle over the opening ceremony over the weekend, which I don't think anybody could have missed. like Marjorie Taylor Green tweeted this this Bible verse from Revelation it looked and behold a pale horse and his name that

and his name that sat on him was death and hell followed with him and power was given unto them but with the fourth of part of the earth to kill with sword and with hunger and with death and with the beasts of the earth do you want to guess what she was reacting to

Trey I mean that weird French shit they were doing in the open ceremony right yeah it was this robot horse look that I don't want That's pretty rad.

That's awesome. It's a robot horse. Of course, it's kind of like chromy or whatever. It's not a pale horse. Yeah, it's not white at all. It's fucking, but like they, so they're also reacting to like, there's a, you know, opening ceremonies are long and they're not for me because they're campy theater shit. It's not really my bag.

Well, again, especially, dude, it's in France. Like everybody got, so it's like, it did a bunch of like real artsy, weird campy shit, like you said, and, you know, the right wing lost their minds because they misinterpreted a big chunk of but imagine that but yeah it's just like what'd you think france was going to do yeah like they had like a musical theater number where there's a bunch of drag queens ended up sitting at a dinner table and like they freaked out because they thought they're making fun of the last supper okay right one they weren't doing the last supper they're doing the feast of dionysus because the Olympics are you know Greek yes but beyond that the last supper isn't a

fucking photograph right it's a painting by a guy done you know a 1,500 years later or whatever. Right. And by a guy who was extremely gay. Right. Yeah, well, there was a lot of that back then. It was like, you know, he was a renaissance master. You know what I'm saying?

Sure he parted pretty hard, I would imagine. There was like a heavy metal band playing where like a woman, like it was like a Marie Antoinette figure. Like the, it was like a, this is a mannequin or whatever, holding a person's head who was singing the song. And they're like, oh, this is satanic. Like they hadn't heard of Marie Antoinette. and this is France It was also fucking weird Like this stuff doesn't like

Again it's not for me But like what Elon was talking about How immoral it was And how satanic it was His Twitter Avia picture is him In Baffamette armor

At a Halloween party What the fuck any of you guys doing here Both Mike Lee and Katie Britt Republican senators Demanded Kamala Harris To announce the opening ceremony What does a presidential candidate In the United States

Have to do with a song and dance number in Paris. Right. It's also like to me it feels like you know you would think since they're like the ultimate Uber patriots that they'd be real into like supporting team USA hoping the US

whips everybody's ass at every Olympic event you'd think that they would be into that and even if the host country does some shit you don't like that. They don't really have nothing to do with the US athletic representatives over there so you're just like being anti-patriotic in favor of just

hate in France for being super queer or whatever. Priorities seem a little messed up, you know. But I know they're coming after some of the Olympic athletes too. Nobody's Oh, yeah. They hate like, yeah, they hate Simone Biles. They were going after

Alana Maher, who we'll get to in a second. But like the, I don't even know, like they want the United States to pull back its Olympic delegation because France's opening ceremony was a bit gay or whatever. And like I, it's like the only time you pull out of the Olympics, is like because of like illegal wars or war crimes or whatever like when the

Soviet Union was banned from or when we bought a call the Moscow Olympics in 1980 or whenever which sucks for the athletes because you didn't you didn't do anything you train your whole life to try to get a gold medal and you miss your whole opportunity because a country you don't even live and invades another country and but I understand why people make that sort of statement but they want us to do that over a drag queen they also have they've got like a refugee Olympic squad right like there's a you know like countries have their And then there's also a squad of refugee athletes from various countries who are, you know, like political refugees or whatnot.

And it's like, I wonder if they want them rounded up. You know what I'm like? They should have them, man. Put them back in the boat. Send them out to sea. You know, it seems like there's a lot they'd be mad about. But their politics and basically what we're going to be talking about tonight is other than people like us making fun of that, I think once sort of everyone's sort of exhausted by all this bullshit. And these people seem to like infuse their politics into everything to such a degree they can't enjoy anything.

Like they're rooting against them. Biles, rooting against USA basketball, because LeBron's on there. They somehow got mad at a lot of mine. We were texting about a lot of my art over the weekend because Lord, sweet God, she rules. She plays for the U.S. women's rugby team. And she's somewhere in the neighborhood of Derek Henry and Barry Sanders combined. Yeah.

I don't ever watch rugby. I just turned on the Olympics, and it happened to be the U.S. women's rugby team playing against Brazil. And so I just left it on. And I got really into it very quickly, primarily. because she was just running roughshod over everybody. Brazil didn't have nothing for her ass, dude.

She was just absolutely dominating. And yeah, I was texting you guys about it. I was like, y'all need to see this. This is fucking wild. And we were like sharing clips and all this stuff. And apparently that didn't hit for people that an American athlete dominated in that fashion because they got all up in her social media feeds

and started saying she was trans. Right. Because a woman's kicking ass. They're like, she can't be a real woman then. And yeah, which she is. She got really upset about it. It made me sad. Yeah, she would, like, post a video crying about it, like, about, you know,

she does influence her stuff to talk about because, like, she's athletic, but, like, her BMI doesn't work. She was talking about how body types and whatever, and so she does that kind of stuff. And then she's posted a video today crying about how women can look all kinds of ways and yes, I have broad shoulders. And also, like, she's pretty. So I don't even know what the fuck. Like, it's, like, they're so weird to, like, start thinking the way they think everybody's

trans. Anyway, U.S. women's rugby won the bronze today on the last second walk off. What do you call it? They still call it a touchdown, right? A try, I think. A try. Yeah. So anyway, she got the bronze medal.

Fucking suck it losers. Stop harassing her. All right. Yeah. We'll see if they listen. Yeah. Enjoy the rest of the Olympics, everybody. We got the show 4-8-night producer Matt's with us.

So we got these outlets for that instead. So get some more skews in your life and support the show in the process. Now, as for tonight, as Mark said, we're going to be talking about the novel and refreshing approach that Democrats seem to be taking to campaigning lately, specifically, talking about how fucking weird all these weirdos are. That's right. Typically, when they go low, we go high. Not anymore. Let's go low, too. I've been saying it for years, begging for it for years.

some shit and they've started the dick. Yes. And it seems to be landing. So we'll talk about that in all the myriad ways in which they are in fact super weird. A little later. But first we begin with the Daily Dumbass Mac graphic please.

Tonight's D.D. Crypto guys who feared Trump wouldn't let them play with their little moron money anymore. Well, hang on here. Time with your Bitcoin and your crypto and everything else that you're playing with. Thank you all.

Everything that you're playing with. Yeah. So Trump spoke at this Bitcoin conference. And Trump used to be super anti-bitcoin. Do you remember, Trey? He correctly called it a scam. No, but I'm not surprised just because he seems very like he seems like he'd be a traditionalist about money stuff or whatever. Right.

Plus he's old as shit, you know. Plus, he hadn't figured a way to get his cut, but the crypto guys started a super pack that raised $200 million to spend on the election, and all of a sudden now he's pro Bitcoin. But, like, this is one of those cursed events. Let me read this headline for you coming out of here. Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy meets Hawk to a Girl at Nick Carter's karate combat match at a Bitcoin conference. What a fucking crazy, 24 madlib for y'all. Who could have seen that coming just a few short years, even months ago? Yeah, Hawk to a girl.

Happy for her success, you know, she's been, uh, been, like, co-opted by the ride, it seems. Now, I can't remember. Do we talk about that on this show? Did that come up before? But yeah, they're like, they're, yeah, she keeps popping up at these types of things. She's just, she's going, she's going where they're paying her appearance. Right. I know.

Yes. Right, yeah. I'm not holding against her. Yeah, it's just the, like, like, I don't know, like the, uh, the, uh, Greenpeace hasn't put up the $30,000 for a show up or whatever it's all. It is. So Senator Cynthia Loomis of Wyoming spoke there to. She happens to own a bunch of Bitcoin. Ignore that for a second.

She's introducing a bill for the U.S. Treasury to buy a million Bitcoin worth $68 billion. Now, a lot of things are deeply fucking hilarious about this. The whole point of crypto, the sales pitch was to escape the prison of fiat currency right right so then but but bitcoin's volatile and dollars aren't so you've got a bunch of rich fucking bitcoin douchebags who want to offload their bitcoin for dollars right so they're trying to bail them out of their investment and also juice the price of bitcoin which again lumas owns but like it reminds me that remember i used to like always laugh when i'd be up late

watching late night tv and there'd be uh those cash for gold commercials immediately followed by we'll buy or gold for cash commercials. Right. And I was like, couldn't you guys just get on the phone and save for it? But like the sales pitch, sales pitch is always like,

the dollar's about to become worthless. You'll want to have gold. Yeah. And that was the pitch for Bitcoin. It's like for crypto. It's like the dollar is going to be worthless. You should own Bitcoin. Okay, then why are you fucking selling it?

I mean, it wasn't also a big part of the pitch of it was escaping, like, the governmental aspect of currency or whatever? you know what I'm saying like that was a big part of it right I mean I guess that doesn't mean that the government can't just buy its own bitcoin necessarily but yeah it just seems kind of antithetical to their whole uh the whole thing purported ethos yeah the whole reason for existing is because they're they're they're fucking neo reactionary libertarians who want to own

islands to hunt people for sport and shit and now they're like well we want the u.s government to back up our currency it's all very weird also uh Tyler winklevoss put out a statement that Kamala Harris, snubbing Bitcoin conference won't be forgotten. The industry was show no mercy in November. Sorry, fuck up. First off, Tyler Winkelvoss, the coolest you ever looked was being played in the social network by an

actual cannibal. Yes. All right. And so, I don't really understand what the fuck anybody should care about your opinion. Anyway, the Harris campaign is signaling they want a reproachment with the crypto bros, so she wants to win. I get it. But like, what the fuck, man? These people are going all fuck off.

an understanding thing here is we need to apologize the rest of the country for is this election is going to turn into sort of an intra-California civil war with like Silicon Valley tech bros versus the Hollywood liberal elite yeah and like J.D. Vance is famously as sort of a sign out of Silicon Valley and Commonwealth's going to be Hollywood's you know worst a ride or whatever and it's like this is going to get so fucking weird and stupid like some big lib donor in Hollywood was like we're literally announced that we're going to donate a bunch of money to Kamala because fuck those Silicon Valley psychos. Right. And yeah, so this is going to be, it's going to be interesting. I mean, I guess I'm team Hollywood. What are you going to do? You know, but yeah, no, you're right. It isn't going to, I mean, get weird.

It already is weird, which is what we're about to talk about. But yeah, there's just, there's plenty of time left for shenanigans to ramp significantly up. And I'm sure with the way the world and our culture has been, you know, tracking in recent years. That's exactly what's going to happen. But, yeah, stuff's already weird. Yeah, let's get weird. So let's get into it. So if they haven't already beaten it to the ground already,

every third word on a Democratic politician and live broadcaster for the last three days has been weird since they figured it out. It's like they found a new toy to play with. It works and they're just like they're abusing the fuck out of it. Yes, I am kind of worried about that part of this whole thing a little bit where it's like, you know, somebody that isn't really all that funny lands uh like land something lands a line or punchline or joke or something like that and then

then they just won't let it go they just keep repeating it like in the olympics right like dwayne he did that yeah yeah he had a joke about lebron's pronouns being he him meaning like you know he's him this guy is him and then he said that like eight more times or something it's just like you just kind of you know beat that you run your own thing into the ground if you don't watch it so yeah i was expecting that to be a culture war thing the next day and it didn't happen for I guess nobody was watching Team USA, but like at the good day, Dwayne, Wade famously has a trans daughter, and I thought they were going to like make it turn to

something. He's just, he's starting his career as a broadcaster, he's trying to have a catchphrase. Anyway, so the libs have their catchphrase now that everybody's weird, and J.D. Vance is in fucking hell right now, and let's enjoy this brief video clip of Fox News, trying to give him an opportunity to explain how

not weird he is. He has a new insult out this week that her and her husband have been using towards you calling you weird. Does that hurt your feelings? How do you feel about that? No, not at all. It doesn't hurt my feelings. He has a new insult out this week.

No, I'm fine. He's cool. Yeah, he practiced a laugh in the mirror for a fucking day and a half. We're doing that. So, this whole thing, like, I feel like I've been gaslit for a decade because basically what we do on the show is talk about all the stuff that's going on that the, that mainstream politics doesn't, it pretends not to notice. Right.

Or they don't acknowledge how insane a lot of it is. how crazy there it is where I was like since no one noticing that this shit is nuts right and like so I feel like I sort of feel vindicated but also like I've been where the fuck have you guys been like I remember like I went back in search I remember like tweeting in like 2017

is anybody going to do anything about this Cuban on shit and then three years later they're storming the capital no one noticed what happened in between and so the like how we you guys can go back and listen to our episodes leading up to January 6 we were talking about how it was going to be a thing and nobody

how did we know about it? And nobody in D.C. did. Do you know what I'm saying? Yeah. It's very fucking weird. And now they finally noticed all these people want to do things like look at children's genitals they can play T-ball. Right.

And I'm like, thank God you guys fucking notice. But like, holy shit, why'd you waste so much time getting here? I think it's part of that. I think it's related to that whole thing, that, you know, long held philosophy of like I said, oh, we take the high road or whatever. And I think an element of that was also them acting like, or an adjacent.

thing that's going on there is that they it's like they were all actually like oh what the you know they're not you know they're not that crazy or you know they would like January they wouldn't do something like that like there's just like assumption that they're you know fundamentally they're these are reasonable people

at the end of day and we'll all play by the same rules which is just not been true for so long but it's like they wouldn't allow themselves to believe that it wasn't true or something that that's also part of it but also it's like when you talk about taking the high road you're trying to stay colloquial with like other politicians you ran to in the green room, but also standing up for marginalized, downtrodden people

who are being bullied by national politicians is also taking the high road to me and also more noble to me than making sure you can shake JD's, J.D. Vance's hand at a fundraiser. Right. And so, like, I'm just, anyway, so before, like, I wanted to say this off the top, like, this is not theater versus substance. This is substance. Like, what make it, to me, what makes it compelling is about substance in a visceral way, right? The reality is there's too much, like, weird racist pervert stuff to call out. an individual basis, so you just adopt this framing that these people are all such weird fucking freaks, you don't have to engage with the dumb shit they're saying, and that you don't

have to address every single misogynistic, hateful, anti-gay, anti-trans social media posts, but they decided because you've established a framework with which you just don't fucking negotiate on this shit, or debate them about it. There's just so much of the shit, you can't get it on one ad or even one fucking book. Like, I was prepping the show and trying to pick what weird stuff to bring up, and we're to go through it a little bit. We're going to do like a speed run of headlines. It just came out about JD in the last week.

They wouldn't be enough to get through the general public's heads if the election lasted six years instead of four. And thank God we only got a hundred-day election cycle this time, this time, kind of. We should do it this way every time, by the way. I mean, that was the thing, too. It's like during the whole debate on the left about Biden, Willie Woney, whatever. And a lot of people saying like, we just can't do it. One of their arguments was like, it's just, there's just no time.

There is no time for this. But like, and I hadn't even realized this. So I saw other people online pointing it out. but like almost every other major Western democracy does not operate the way that we do when it comes to election cycle. Our election cycles are more than a year long or whatever. Sometimes it feels like with Trump, it feels like it's just never ended with him since he showed up. But in like Europe, they have laws against, they have, some of the countries have laws that are like you can't campaign or do anything before like 90 days before or whatever the case may be. But we're talking about a couple three months or something.

And it's just, yeah, that would just be way better. There's no reason for us to be so extry with all this shit. And also, way less money would get spent on it, too. You also have more time to focus on governing. And your main argument for getting elected should be how you fucking govern. Right. Right. So anyway, like, there's just like, there's so much of this shit.

Like, like, the weird stuff is also good lens to spend to see Project 25 through because a lot of it's very fucking, like, you want to privatize the weather. Like, it's very, it's weird, right? So like, like, for example, like Arizona's primaries are tonight, I think. think in the Arizona 8th, there's like eight candidates running for Congress. Three of them, one of them's a QAnon shaman, all right? One is a guy mostly known for going on a pro-Hitler radio show. And another one is a guy who tried to pay an employee $5 million if he'd let her

impregnate him, let him impregnate her, all right? Do you want to spend time arguing with all three of those guys? You just call him weird freaks and move on with your life. Right. Yeah. Yeah, I feel like for me that, the, you know, like part of why I think this is being effective, in my opinion, but also part of why I don't think that it's like hypocritical or nothing either,

because I've seen some people point out to be like, I thought they were about inclusivity and all this stuff. You know what I mean? Using weird as a pejorative, you know, keep Portland weird, keep Austin weird, whatever. You got you supposed to love weird shit. Okay, well, here, I'm going to ramble for a second, but hopefully it'll make sense in a minute. I'm, I love gay people, super big ally, have been my whole life, okay? I feel like I've proven that time and again at this point.

Like, sometimes you make fun of Lindsey Graham for looking or seeming gay or being, you know, and it's like the reason why that's different is because he is, you know, openly homophobic. He, like, rails against gay people. So to, like, call him gay, even though I would never call somebody else gay in, like, negative fashion, but with Lindsey Graham, the context is different. Same thing with, like, a bunch of alpha male dude bros with their shirts off all oiled up, you know, whatever, and, like, homophobes, and you say, that's pretty gay, bro. it's it ain't the same it works differently and i feel the same way about this and i also and i also

think that's why that shit is effective is because they they spend so much of their time demonizing everything that they think is weird which is just any non you know straight white christian coded person like they hate weird stuff so pointing out rightfully to them it's like your shit is weird right like you know it eats at them is what i'm saying like you know that it bothers them And it's also, it isn't hypocritical because context matters. So, yeah, the whole thing is just... Well, so conservative politics are inherently like supremacist, right? Right.

And big-tended idea of supremacy is the idea that we're the normal ones who should have authority. So when you point out that they actually are weird freaks who fucking suck, it undercuts the premise of their whole project. Right. Yeah, exactly. It's like, I'm normal. I have a wife and two kids and a Labrador retriever, and it's like, and you're gay. It's like, okay, but you also are deeply concerned with children's genitals.

And that's fucking weird. I'm like I mind my own business I'm living my life Why are you obsessed with fucking me? You're like that's right To me that's what's going on here Yeah but again like Lindsay Graham Whether

None of us have any idea whether or not It was sexuality or whatever But it's like it's not the fact that he's hypothetically gay That's weird it's that he's a Republican It's fucking weird Yes You know what I'm saying? It's that he's so mean about it

It's fucking weird So like let's talk about Let's talk about we got here for a second Because it involves a fun topic It's called couch fucking All right So Two weeks ago, it's important this was two weeks ago for reasons that we'll get there in a second.

A guy on X, Twitter, by the name of Rick, whose handle was Rick Rood's Cavs, posted, can't say for sure, but he might be the first VP pick to have admitted on a New York Times bestseller to fucking an inside-out latex glove shoved between two couch cushions. Then it gives like an MLA-type citation, Vance, comma, Hillbilly, Elogy, pages 179 to 181. All right. So I saw this two weeks ago, and we're about to talk about J.D. as the vice-presidential pick. and I don't have the book. Right.

So I texted you. Do you have the book? And you go, yeah, like, can you go look at pages 179 to 181 to see if you fucked an inside of latex club in the coach? Yeah. And you said that, no, it was not written at least on those pages. Also, fuck you, Mark, for making me read this book again, even in this amount, he's three pages. But yeah, the cited pages, it's, it, all it is, it's just talking about him going to Ohio State and arriving at Ohio and his, like, experience at Ohio State.

And no point does a couch even get brought up. you know unfortunately but yeah but that is not from running with it it's yeah it's not in the book and but i didn't bring it up on the show because i don't want to i don't like i'm i'm arrogant enough i don't like being factually wrong right and i didn't want to do misinformation so like but like so but people nobody posting about it making memes about it thought it was real they're just having fun making fun of a fucking weirdo because he feels he feels like a weird guy it's just a fun thing to say about a weird guy it's great yeah right again it's like they there's been a whole thing with them. It was like,

there. Look at them. Always talking about misinformation, election interference and spread misinformation. Look what they're doing here. And it's like, bro, it's just funny to call him a couch fucker. Like you said, 90 plus percent of people sharing it didn't even think it was real. It's just,

it's funny. It's a funny thing to say to like rib somebody with, you know, is to keep calling him a couch fucker, especially when you find out that they don't like being called a couch fucker and get very defensive about it. That's a serious way to ensure that people are going to keep calling you a couch fucker, you know, so. Right. So, but in like the week and a half between me seeing it and becoming a thing, it apparently took over TikTok.

Like people were making like videos of like J.D. Couch, JD Vance staring longingly at Couches to like slow James and shit. Okay. Then he'd like, it's just spread over the internet. And I got an normally buddy who's not really online texting me from Texas being like, what does this deal with J.D. Vance fucking a couch. And I had to let him, like, break his heart and tell him it wasn't real. yeah but it's like weird like because they like fox news this whole thing with they're blaming the democrats for doing this but the democrats had nothing to do with it this was

like organic like shit post internet trolling yeah right yes shit puzzling yeah the type of shit that does all the time to everybody right and they were doing it to Biden before this because but it was TikTok was all Biden's fucking old memes right so like now Biden is actually factually old so it's a little bit different but so So, but this graph fucking killed me. Here's a couch search graph of Google, Googling J.D. fans like having sex on the couch over time. Look at that. We manifested into reality.

This is the most successful random crowdsource sigh-up of all time. I don't even know how they did it, but it's deeply fucking hilarious. To the point that the mainstream media had to do stuff about it because everyone was talking about it, the AP posted this story and had to delete it. Listen to these headlines, no J.D. Vance did not have sex with the couch. They deleted it with a note that. said it did not live up to her editorial standards. Because you cannot say that J.D. Vance did not have sex with a couch.

You can say it doesn't say in his book he had sex with a couch. He did not claim to have sex with a couch. But yes, you cannot factually state he did not have sex with a couch. I mean, look, listen, sorry. But as a former teenage boy, I'm just saying it's not that far out of the realm of possibility. It would not be weird if he had sex with the couch. Exactly. Teenage boys would just, you know, you get boners anywhere.

You start gywriting, whatever next thing you know, you fuck the couch cushion. I'm just, like, it just happens, guys. So, I mean, yeah, so I feel like the odds are pretty good. He probably has fucked the couch, but, you know. Especially like our, like our generation, like all of our moms worked. We were Laskey kids left home alone a lot. And those before the.

Zena Warrior Princess was airing in syndication. Yes, yes. So like the sheer number of things in our houses we had said, like, if he had fucked the couch, it would have been the most normal thing about him. That's hilarious because that's very true. but it reminded me of like this this old like maybe a prockable story about LBJ when he was one of those early campaigns in Texas where he like he was the campaign was too close for it for his comfort and he tried to get his campaign manager to start

a rumor that his opponent had had sex with pigs and his campaign manager said Christ we can't get away with calling a pig fucker nobody's going to believe a thing like that and LBJ said I know but let's make the son of a bitch deny it right so jd vats has so far been smart enough to not deny having sex with the couch, but Fox News is doing it for him. Watch Jesse Waters, right? And after Russia, COVID and the Biden cover-up, America's seasoned vets by now. We don't buy the hoaxes and believe the hype anymore. Our eyes are wide open. And if you're going to accuse someone of having sex with a couch, you better have video.

and you better send it to me, all right, when I get off work later. Please send me a video of 13-year-old JD Vance having sex with stuff, please, to my personal email address. Jesus fucking Christ. So. Dude, everything about that, though, just the whole, and I mean, I know this is all they do. They do it all the time, but like just the level of projection and the lack of self-awareness and everything. He says Americans, but he means conservatives, it means Republicans. He's like him talking about how we don't buy into hoaxes, we don't buy into bullshit.

our eyes are wide open and it's like that's all y'all do is believe bullshit you know what I mean like the big hoax that the election was stolen then COVID a very real disease that killed millions of people that was a hoax according to you and it's just like y'all are the worst people at knowing what isn't is not a hoax

on planet earth I'm sure to come up again because they're starting hearings about the Trump assassination attempt but like they tried to start a second Trump shooter thing a couple weeks ago like there was a second this is a deeply funny conspiracy theory is the second Trump shooter put up by the deep state

who also missed, then stopped shooting for some reason. Okay. Let me real quick, just because you brought it up, Mark, because it made me think I'd seen a lot of it. I just want your quick opinion on it. Where do you add on the whole thing with, like, Trump's ear and everything? You see it all that, like that gained traction? Because he got photographed with his ear

uncovered, and there's like, you zoom in and there's absolutely nothing on it at all. So a lot of people on the left and stuff are being like, I'm just saying, don't look like you fucking got shot to me or whatever. I've seen people post like I this is where I clipped my ear while shaving my head a month ago and you can clearly see a scab people like drawing red circles around scabs on ears and stuff and building the timeline and everything uh what like what do you think about that particular aspect of the whole

deal i don't i'm stretching my brain to try to understand why it matters exactly it's like so what like what i don't get why that part matters either i know there's certain people think he staged it which means that this 19 year, this 20 year old kid just volunteered to die for no reason to miss. I don't really understand. Anyway, so like, but like I think it was funny.

Some mega guys tried to recreate shooting an ear with an error 15 to prove he got shot in a year and they blew the ear clean to fuck off. He used one of those like, one of those human flesh like dummies or whatever and there's just slow motion footage is the anyway. I think probably if I had to guess what happened is it hits something else and he got, he got nicked by a ricochet or some debris or something. But we all saw the blood unless you think he used. fucking blood pack

it's like right you're gonna end up you're gonna end up sound like them if you if you dig too far that's what I that's what I think too yeah

um so about over the same few days where the the couch fucker thing was in the sub news to the AP meet at the news um JD awesome some old stories about JD resurfaced uh combined with some new stuff

it's been a talking point for his for a few years basically America's being destroyed by childless women that like were being dragged down by childless cat ladies and he talked about people like Kamala and Pete Buttigieg

don't care about the future of America because they don't have kids. Well, they come as step kids and Buttig's as adopted kids and you've got to end up some weird fucking shitty places to think they don't care about their kids. Bro, also, from my perspective,

as someone who does have kids, I feel like one of the biggest problems in America right now. If you're restricting it only to women, it's the Nancy Grace type super helicopter mom, Cairns that want to like dictate what schools are allowed to, you know, what parts of history they're allowed to cover, what books they're allowed to teach

and all this stuff because they're so worried about their kids and all that. Like that feels like a way bigger problem for me, to me speaking as a parent than, you know, childless cat ladies, whatever. Yeah. Also, I love cats. So anyway. And if you're wondering how electorally stupid is when like J.D.

Vance isn't talking to other psychotic right wingers who think the only purpose in life is to breed children for God's army or whatever. Almost half the women in the United States don't have children. About 13% are step parents like Kamala and 46 million U.S. households on cats. So he really fucking stepped up. a hornet nest there, but not that anyone would ever tell him that, because he doesn't ought to talk to regular people, because he's exclusively been talking to right-wing psychos for a fucking half a decade. All right. And then he said this weird shit, which should

be disqualifying for any sane person, if you it doesn't have. Let's give votes to all children in this country, but let's give control over those votes to the parents of those children. When you go to the polls in this country as a parent, you should have more power, you should have more of an ability to speak your voice in our Democratic Republic than people who don't have kids. Let's face the consequences.

So face the consequences from not having kids. Okay, so I don't have kids. I still think I should be able to vote. but also like under this voting the way people treat their kids nowadays like they're their property like the kids can't make any sort of decisions on their own or can't read things they don't approve of

or you know this kind of thing it's like can't walk to school alone like the the idea we're basically gone from only landowners can vote to only people owners can vote and right like I find this fucking deeply weird

also just let the kids vote if you want the kids vote but like the idea like first of all where does this end like so like Elon gets 13 votes or how many fucking kids he has by 27 different women Donald Trump's basically mentally an invalid Trump Jr's basically mentally invalid does Trump still get

his vote and so like that that's that infertility doctor who knocked up like 100 women with his own giz does he get like he's sweating the whole election yeah right he'd get like 30 electoral votes yeah I mean his rationale for this right correct me if I'm wrong is like

in his crazy right wing mind And he's like, people that don't have kids, they have no stake in the future. So they have no, they should have no say on what the future of this country looks like. And it's again, kind of like analogous what I was saying earlier, I feel like the much bigger problem is like super rich, wealthy old right wing people who don't have any stake in the future. Some of them even have kids, but can't stand their kids like, I don't know, Donald Trump or whatever, but people that are not going to be around for the consequences of their. you know, their political actions, like making policies for people that are going to have to deal with it later after their long dead and gone, you know, and that feels like a bigger problem to me than just people who opted not to have children.

Right. But also, it's just like we're democracy and that stuff we have to figure out because people have rights and everybody gets to fucking vote. You guys got to J.D. Vance gets to fucking deal with it. But so those things were all happened. Then Tim Walts went on TV and as far as I know, it was spontaneous. He did it on his own. It goes to the government of Minnesota VP candidate.

And he said this and sort of crystallize it. We do not like what has happened where we can't even go to Thanksgiving dinner with our uncle because you end up in some weird fight that is unnecessary. And I think bringing back people together, well, it's true. These guys are just weird. And they're running for he-man women haters club or something. That's what they go out. That's not what people are interested in.

Bro, preach, man. This feels like a very effective message to me because I feel like anybody on either side should be is like it feels this because it's like somebody from salina Tennessee I mean I've lamented for years and ever since the July growing up there being it was still mostly red obviously and I was you know me and my family were we were blue sheep and all that stuff but it just wasn't

like this back then you could have got you could go to Thanksgiving dinner and not have to worry about getting casserole hurled at you or whatever leaving in tears you know and it's like that's not it's just not good culturally for this country that that is happen so I feel like this is a good you know a good argument to make like let's just stop worrying about all this completely ultimately irrelevant and unnecessary weird shit y'all are obsessed with and just you know talk about fucking i don't know whatever the weather or something right and it's like

he went on like he used this line to quite a few interviews or something similar to it and talked about how like all we want to do is we want to build schools build hospitals build roads and not deal all this weird bullshit we don't want to talk about it look out of your neighbors stop being weird there's another quote here they see the least fortunate among us as punchlines we see them as neighbors and like i just want to say of all the VP candidates he's my favorite uh former high school teacher defensive coordinator for a fucking a state championship high school team while also sponsor in the gay straight alliance for his high school in the 90s when that was still a risky thing to do flip to red district uh past universal school lunch uh expanded

health care all this shit like it's i know vice presidents don't matter electorally usually but as far as a statement about who you believe the next president, the person that has a chance to be the next president should be, I firmly believe Tim Wall is the best choice. Okay, we'll come back to that after they don't pick him. Yeah, I had been a Mark Kelly guy. I like Mark Kelly, but I like, I like, really, I like, I at least like all the candidates and I didn't.

And I mean, Walt's, I mean, he seems pretty awesome. I mean, you kind of sold him. I definitely would be on board with that. It mostly was just like, I just feel like there is no more red blood at all America. archetype than a fucking like you know fighter pilot astronaut you know who it just like it just felt to me like what could they possibly say about about that guy but i mean they'd be talking shit about the moon in no time if she did pick him so well they'll find the way regardless he switched i'm glad he did

because i'm fine with flip flopping the long as you go over to the right side but he was against he's been kind of an anti-union guy and he flipped for the states with trying to become the vice president and also like he doesn't have executive experience but also like the that would throw his Senate seat to a special election where they might lose. Well, I thought that in Arizona, the way that works is they get, it gets appointed,

like the governor who is a Democrat would appoint his initial replacement. And then- Initial, but then you have to win, but then you've got to go. It'll be next fall or the next election cycle is. So he has the power of incommency. I just think it's a bad decision,

considering if you want to have any hope of hold on to the Senate, because that's what you need to actually fucking pass bills and like, you know, vote in swearing judges. And yeah, he's an astronaut. That's cool. Let's just pretend

Tim Wall as an astronaut So to be fair I don't know if like Kamala herself She was asked back in remember in 2016 When Trump sort of lingered behind Hillary And followed her around the stage And she was talking about how Hillary Handled that poorly

Or she was asked how she would handle it better And she was just say I'll just turn in And be like, why are you being so fucking weird? And I'm like, yep, that's basically how you deal with that So I don't want to give him full credit for coming up with it so but like one of the reasons i think that the couch fucking thing caught on the weird thing caught on is like jd feels weird right i know you met him and he probably was nice in her interpersonally right you said you had a beer with him back before he was insane yeah he was

pretty i mean like i said he was mostly it's like i say every time this comes up it's like it's not like i was like i was like dude this guy's fucking rad it wasn't like that he was just like he was pretty like milk toast really you know what i mean just like he seemed he didn't seem like a fucking lunatic no at all he He just seemed like a pretty regular guy when I hung out with him. But, I mean, he was saying a bunch of very different shit back then, too. And I don't know if you saw that New York Times article that came out over the weekend about his one of his best friends from college, who is trans. And they were talking about the same type of thing.

He said they know him way, way better and about how, like, he did not at all used to be. This was like when they knew him back then was not this guy and how they're stunned at his progression or regression, I guess. that was pretty uh throwing your fucking one of your best friends from college uh under a bus for your political ambitions is fucking dark man um and like basically like they used they would they would debate politics in a fun way over email for a long time and then when he came out of support of some anti-trans laws uh she emailed him like hey man what the fuck and he basically cut her he cut her out of his life um so let me read here so the the cat so i want to talk about like symbolic reasons the couch fucker thing stuck even though it's not literally true, and everyone knows it's not literally true. Business Insider got an interview with Rick Rood's Cavs, the guy who made the original post, and he said some really insightful shit that I think he should replace the entire Democratic consultant class. Yeah, this was funny, because it's like when I first read, like, Business Insider, you know,

they secured an exclusive interview with Rick Rood's Cavs or whatever. In my head, I'm like, Jesus Christ, man, we really are in a really wild and pretty dumb place. But then you, but I agree with you. you read some of his like quotes from or whatever and it's like this guy's pretty uh pretty astute actually he is he has mildly concern that he's now viewed as peddling election and misinformation which he said was not as intent he posted what he posted he said because he sees in vance in an ineffable quality he believes is best approximated with the moniker quote couch fucker it's such a great way of putting that perhaps rick said whether vance actually had coronal

knowledge of one or more of the couch one or more couches is immaterial rick suggested vance making love to a couch may best be viewed as what word or Herzog has described as the ecstatic truth in Herzog's words, a kind of truth that is the enemy of the merely factual, encompassing falsehoods that makes some essence of the man visible. I was like, yeah, give this guy a million dollars to make a campaign after. He fucking understands. It's about vibes, man. Some things just feel, this guy feels like a couch fucker. Yeah, right.

And it's like, obviously the guy was right because it just caught on like wildfire. You know, he does sleep like a couch. Fucker. Yeah. So, and there's so much to work with about like,

again, these are all the stories you'll never be able to get to and the JD's weird universe or their weird universe. This is,

this is all just about JD for this purpose, for these purposes, though. He, a clip surface of him saying that women just stay in violent

marriages for the sake of their kids because, you know, they want to fucking end at will divorce. Quote, maybe his headline here, J.D. Vance

for a book blurb for Jack Busibiac far-right influencer of PizzaGate fame. J.D. Vance once called Richard Henania, a racist

blogger used to write for white supremacist sites under a pseudonym and a friend and a really interesting thinker on a YouTube show. J.D. Vance spent 9-11, yes, the 20th anniversary of 9-11 at a gun show that showed framed Nazi regalia. And there are pictures. In private speech, J.D. Vance said the devil is real and praised Alex Jones the truth teller. It's probably my personal favorite. J.D. Vance has a burnt monkey testicle problem. Here's where the weird framing comes in, I think, because what's that about? It's about something evil, which he's heavily invested in some, like, companies that do extremely cruel animal testing. Right.

But the way the headline gets framed as about monkey testicles, because that feels weirder. Right. It gets clicks. Here's one that sort of felt unfair to me. J.D. Vance ridiculed after dolphin-based social media post backfires. So what he did was that I don't know what I used. US senators posting this way. But back in February, he had come across a video of, you know, one of those viral videos,

we all grew up in group chats were like a woman had hopped up on a dock and was like humping a woman who was laughing about it. I've 100% seen that video. I know for a fact I have, yeah. And I guess they do that, but anyway, go ahead. So he wanted, I guess he wanted to, he'd find it later to tweet and say he tried to show it, he had showed it to his kids and they were laughing about it or whatever. But when you search on Twitter, if you screen grab,

before like you refresh or whatever it shows the keywords you searched for so it said woman dolphin we were in bolt right

so everyone was making fun of him for looking for dolphin porn on Twitter which is not what he was doing but that's how everyone sees

everything he fucking does now yeah all right so it's just like if you want to win an election it feels in bounds to me and first of all

it's not the comic campaign doing it's just people in the fucking internet who are making me like these people like these media outlets like Huffin and Post

who I just was talking about, have been making stories out of tweets for half a decade to make leftists look like morons. Let's use it to our advantage now, right? So I talked a little bit atop about why I think it's working because Republicans represent supremacy and making fun

of them as being weird sort of a threat to that sort of view of things. And the thing about that is Dems sort of reflexively buy into that framing usually. Right? They say we're the normal ones we have like, we support law and order and the troops and we love our wives and kids. So Dems will like

you know, that's why we all run veterans and CIA operatives for office because we want to like preempt the charges that run patriotic right? Right. Um, so they won't say we hate American, whoever the insert enemy of the moment is. I guess fuck, to consider today's news it might be Lebanon. Um, and

they also like love ring prosecutors, like preempt the attacks that they love criminals or whatever. And like for my entire life, there's been passive campaigners like easily drawn into the Republican framing of issues. And that's what's cool about the weird thing. It's like, no, fuck off. Right. It's always been a sucker's gamut but to get into arguments over where exactly means testing should begin rather than just rejecting it all together, stuff like that.

You can't engage people on their terms when they say, let them dictate the conversation. So like this thing is extremely useful because they say some weird shit to try to get you in a debate over whether like trans people should be able to poop. You go, no, fuck off. I'm not going to get into that with you. Just fuck you. You're weird. Right. And I just find that like I just like it's refreshing to see it.

Like, oh, this is what actually campaigning looks like. It's fucking interesting. Other than just always being like, our opponents will take the low road. Vote for me. And like, I just won't ever say anything, you know? Right. So just to talk about how they're responding to it because it's deeply funny because they have no idea what to do when they're seen as the weirdos.

Again, because of the whole supremacist thing. Marco Rubio today was asked about it and he said, they called us weird. They talked about how he, to me quote here, they called us weird. So I call them weirder. That's what I used to do back in high school. I bet that worked, Marco. That's what I was, that's what I bet he was crushing in high school with that tactic. The old rubber and glue approach, like, yeah, well, you're weird.

It was like a smooth mode, Mark. But, I mean, that you reading that just reminded me of one of the Hillary Trump debates where she called him a puppet. And he just goes, he goes, no puppet, no puppet, no puppet. You're the puppet. She's the puppet. I'm not a puppet. And so, you know, they do probably what they'll do.

They're deeply charmless as part of this, too, right? I know Trump has its charms to some people, but, like, they don't have, like, they're dim-witted. That's why they fucking think this shit. So, make them use their wits and they just don't have them, right? So, like, that's them trying to be funny, right? Again, you can tell they weren't actually bullied that much in high school because none of them got funny.

They all had rich dads. All right. So, like, another way to approach this is trying to defend it on the substance. Oh, you think JD's, you know, weird for being a misogynist? well, I'll just defend misogyny. Here's a guy on the Daily Wire, which is Ben Shapiro's podcast network, a podcast network which also hosts Ted Cruz's podcast when it long ran about is correct to be misogynist because women can't take care of themselves.

This hymnique quotier is a guy named Andrew Claven. The central purpose of every society is to figure out the distribution of women because women are valuable. The distribution of women. We're not weird. It's perfectly normal for the government to be in charge of distributing women. Deploying women. Yeah, it's also, I feel like that there's like, there's like an in-cell flavor to that, too.

Do you know what I mean? Like it appeals to in-sale. The idea that's like, you know, we'll just send you one. We'll mail you a woman. She won't be able to say no. It won't be up to her. We'll make sure that all you guys get a woman as you, of course, deserve for being a nice guy and everything. And we'll take her agency completely out of it.

And all the red pill dudes are like, this guy's, this guy's spit. Yeah. It's like, it's also like, so, um, the vague. Ravaswamy got on Twitter and I want to read this and we'll take it like I'll take it like let's do piece by piece for a second here because like he said this this whole the weird argument from the Democrats is dumb and juvenile okay well yes because people are having fun it's actually fun right now and I'm sorry for you all right he goes on to say this is a presidential election not a high school prom queen contest it's also president's elections are a popularity contest so that's incorrect as well it's also tad erotic coming from the party that preaches quote diversity and inclusion win on policy if you can but cut the crap please okay these the same people have been calling everyone disagrees and pedophiles for fucking half a decade i know i know towards just what we were saying earlier like the projection and the hypocrisy and the complete lack of self-awareness like when on policy if you y'all don't have no policy like it's literally nothing but oh they do you're bullshit just

pointing and saying that's bad she's bad that's bad kick them out of here you know they don't even have policies they have nothing but the crap crap. Like, they can't cut the crap. All they are is crap. They have policies. They just don't want to talk about them. Right. Because they don't hit for people. Right. Well, yes. Right. Yes. They definitely have aims, you know, they have their goals and stuff that are very dangerous. But yeah, but they don't run on those because people don't want to hear that shit and they know it. So let's take Vivek at his word. Let's talk about their policies, for example. How about this one? Here's a headline for you. J.D. Vance, menstrual, menstrual surveillance talk. This is about this spring, the Department of Health and Human Services.

I changed regulations under HIPAA to limit law enforcement access to medical records tied to reproductive health so red states wouldn't be able to like track women crossing state borders to get to get health care. So, uh, only like 28 members of Congress wrote to, uh, Javier Becerra, the HHS secretary opposing this, trying to get into withdraw it. Vance was only one of eight Republican senators willing to go this hard for menstrual surveillance. All right. Uh, he really fucking believes in this shit. And it's weird. It's fucking weird to want to want the, the government to track women's fucking peer. periods, right?

Of course. And also to check, as you've already referenced a couple of times, but like, they want to, like, check the genitals of minors, like school children and stuff to make sure that they're allowed to swim in this race or whatever. But, I mean, either way, fuck that. Put the rationale aside, it's like you want to inspect 13-year-old genitals as I, like, you know, a policy point. And, yes, it track women menstrual cycles and all this. And it's just insane in the name of freedom, you know. And most of this just serves to harass women, a girl, a girl's like Alana Maher who talked about earlier who just like athletic. Like, when you see a story talking about about a parent trying to get a kid inspected for being trans, they're almost never remote.

They're just tomboys who are good at fucking sports and they're kicking their daughter's ass. Right. Just don't want their daughter to lose. And like to empower these psychos by making them feel elevated and making them feel like they're not weird, it's fucking weird. Like so like the, like, so there's a story popping off from rightway media right now. a couple of like women in Olympics this year, the Olympics stupidly started doing hormone testing to try to combat like, of course you want to test for steroids and shit, right? But a lot of people who were born biologically women by your women by conservative

standards have elevated testosterone levels, which in an athletic sense used to be called talent. Yeah, right. It's like saying. Also it can just go. I mean like like exercising real hard and being in shape and stuff can that can just like naturally inside your body to produce more testosterone, right? I mean, whether you're a woman or a man, like, it's part of how it works.

Sure, but these are all these athletes are in shape. They had high tea even for women at. Oh, okay. So, like, they're trying to make out, like, there's a couple of women boxes who are tested for high IT shouldn't be allowed to compete because they're biological men. When they're women who have high testosterone levels, which is like complaining the Shaquille O'Neill shouldn't be able to play in the Olympics because he's tall. Yeah, too tall.

It's part of his, it's part of his biological. talent. And so, like, it's, it's just fucking, I just, these people annoy me so much, you can't appreciate anything for what it is. And so the, uh, here's, going back to the, J.D. Vance's menstrual surveillance, this surface, which is both misogynistic and racist and just fucking really tone depth. Here's audio of him on a podcast by a, he goes on so many psychotic podcast. I'll try to contextualize this for you in a second. Okay, look, here's a situation. Let's say Roe versus Wade is overruled. Ohio, Ohio bans abortion. you know, in 2022, let's say 2024.

And then, you know, every day, George Soros sends a 747 to Columbus to load up disproportionately black women to get them to go have abortions in California. And, of course, the left will celebrate this as a victory for diversity. That's kind of crazy. Health justice is when we exterminate. That's right. That's right. Black people. Something really, yeah, something like that could, I mean, that would be a really weird.

Oh, fuck this guy so hard. So he's on, that podcast is hosted by a woman in Amy Tyreeks who's purely like an Australian psycho

like a culture war podcaster. Why in the hell he's going? Forget the substance of his character and his politics for a second.

He's also just stupid. If you have actual ambitions for higher office, you shouldn't be going on these podcasts because this is the kind of shit they talk

about. So if you need another reason to vote against him, he's a fucking moron. All right. So I was reading

this is a new book out. Now, it's called the quiet damage. It's about, like, people losing their family members to Q&N. And I think part of this, this backlash, like, and it feels like a fever is breaking in a lot of ways if these guys can be beaten back at this moment. It feels like most sane people have just moved on from this shit. And I feel like a lot of it is a backlash to QAnon.

Because, like, one of the numbers they talk about in the book, according to survey data, like 30 million Americans believe the secret satanic cabal runs the world, all right? That's basically one and 11 Americans. all of us know these people or see their posts on Facebook because we went to high school with them and we're so fucking sick of this dumb bullshit it's like anybody you want to call everybody a pedophile fuck off you're weird you want to like talk like see Satan behind every corner fuck off you're weird right and also one thing I'd like about this um this what weird is better than scary all right because like we've all lived in fear these people

for so long I think we need to see them for the school the week's week as school you are bullies that they are like these people are freaks and no one really likes them and once people know that about a bully he loses power that's a climax to every fucking kids movie is everyone walks away from the bully when they realize he's a loser right and i just think there's like a like people crave normalcy right they want elected officials who are recognizable as human beings who with normal human interests and emotions they want to they want to go they want to be able to go entire days about thinking about the fucking president yeah right exactly i mean that was a huge part of joe biden's appeal i feel like was that just yeah like like

you go days without even thinking about whereas with trump it's every single day whether he's the president or not but especially if he's the president yeah and people are sick of it but the Trump but this is the weird thing is just trying to not like we talked about before about Joe Biden's appeal that he was normal it's just I'm normal I'm normal but like you're trying to create a normal movement right to resist Trumpism as a movement as opposed to one normal guy to be back one freak guy yeah and I think this is an effective way to do it um I also just think people are just tired of being afraid and they want to feel enthusiastic they want to feel hope and if this is a data point for anybody when we got on there was a Kamala Harris rally going on in Georgia to packed up fucking arena where everybody was swag surfing and Megan the stallion gave the open for her gave the second couple songs and she was quoting quavo lyrics it feels fucking cool no you said enthusiasm hope you know there's been a little bit of that in the past you know week week plus it's been why you know I definitely had some trepidation about you and I were both on the side of thinking Joe Biden should step down, but I still, there was definitely part of me.

It's like, look, but they got to get it right after that. And I'm worried about their capacity to do so. But the fact that it's, you know, pretty much it's gone pretty damn well. And it has served as like the shot in the arm that the party and the entire American left needed. So far, again, we were talking earlier before we went on the air. We're like a lot of time left, plenty of time for them to fuck stuff up. But so far, it's off to a great, you know, start though. And people are definitely feel there.

there is like a general stance of like optimism, I feel like, which is sorely needed. It's not even like like, like, calm is the face of it right now, but it's also like a, like a reaction to not doing like savior politics. You know what I'm saying? Like like even the slogan they were chaining again like we, uh, we are not going back. It's we. It's we. We as Americans. It's not like they could have like, it's enthusiasm for moving forward and just Joe Biden for, for, for, for, if it's, uh,

the reasons that aren't his fault was an avatar for the opposite of that and that's basically the beginning of it like last week you were on the show but I ate shit saying I was wrong for thinking this wouldn't work out because it obviously like just the enthusiasm gap we're not going to get into polling for a little while but it looks pretty good

so far from what's out there is just too soon to tell much it's still going to be a squeaker of an election they still have electoral college problems because it's like you know it's always slanted against the the whatever left wing candidates on the ballot but it's Like, that's what, that's what the, you know, play it as it lies, and that's what the battlefield is. So, yeah, everybody's getting to work.
