Is this like a soccer tour of America?
Starting point is 00:04:15 What's, why are we getting? What happens is, like, for preseason, these European teams, they basically turn their preseason into money-making tours because their fans are international. So, like, some teams go to Asia, some teams go to Australia, some teams come to the U.S., et cetera, and then they just basically hoover up a bunch of money. Yeah.

Please welcome back to the show, it's Molly Lambert! No hold, Mary O! Molly. Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me aliens yeah
Starting point is 00:05:29 we got a lot going on for the last couple days good eating for the alien folks what did you say? come sail away with me aliens oh aliens I think that song is about aliens we've been talking a lot about aliens lately we're gonna throw some
Starting point is 00:05:47 we're gonna like at least cover the people who are throwing water on the UFO hearings yesterday but I'm still intrigued yeah they're throwing water because everybody knows if you put water on aliens they get the
Starting point is 00:06:03 common cold and go back to their home planet. That's right. There you go. And if you do it after midnight, they multiply. Yeah. Yeah, it's gremlin's logic on these aliens. Gremlin's logic. Are gremlins aliens by the logic of that universe?
Starting point is 00:06:18 Are they like an ancient creature? Right? Yeah, but I feel like if George Lucas rebooted it, they would be aliens it would be like this is when they came to earth and like this is right you know you would see dante well yeah but i'm like the way george lucas did the prequels to star wars and was like okay so here's actually the thing in the blood the jedi power chlorians yeah like i i feel like that would be the less interesting midichlorian midichlorian i feel like them being aliens is the midichlorians. Yeah. I feel like that would be the less interesting. The midichlorian.
Starting point is 00:06:45 The midichlorian. I feel like them being aliens is the midichlorian answer to them. Because originally, the whole thing was that they were at a gift shop in Chinatown. Right, right, right. And it was more like ancient mythic creature that people didn't know about. Yeah, very orientalism. Yeah. How else have you been doing, Molly?
Starting point is 00:07:06 Good. I was just thinking about how we could convince everybody in Malibu they have midichlorians. I've got the cure. If they've got midichlorians, I can sell them a juice. Yeah, exactly. The big product with people from Malibu is raw water. Raw water.
Starting point is 00:07:26 Raw water. It's not treated. It's just raw, like comes directly from a spring in my backyard connected to a hose. Right, right. So they're getting sick. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm really into the gut health one.
Starting point is 00:07:43 That's like basically midichlorians. That's one that Erewhon pushes where it's like, there's something wrong with your gut and we've got the supplement that fixes it. You need a gut health reset. Is that that like super expensive bottle of water at Erewhon? That's that water that they sell? Probably that.
Starting point is 00:08:01 Probably some raw water. I saw like a TikTok of like a personal chef that was for some wealthy person in LA, and all the cooking was done with Erewhon bottled water. Wow. Cool. And I was like, this is... Just, please, why can't the aliens be fucking real so they can vaporize fucking Erewhon? Please.
Starting point is 00:08:19 Yeah. Can the aliens please come and redistribute wealth? Please. Yeah. All right. Well, Molly, we're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First, a couple of things we are talking about today. Mitch McConnell either had a glitch, like glitched out, and more evidence of the Matrix,
Starting point is 00:08:38 or he had what is sometimes called a mini-stroke, which are common and not good. No, Jack, he's an NPC, dude dude he's an mpc yeah for sure his motherboard fucking fried out on camera i don't know that he shit himself i've never seen anyone look more like they were shitting themselves though the walk away was yeah anyways we'll talk about tesla what what a cool product they've made how fun a company they are to be a customer of it turns out people i recently heard somebody like use tesla as like the good car option like they were like i mean it's not we're not talking to chevy here we're talking to tesla as like a metaphor for like high quality. And then I was like,
Starting point is 00:09:26 I don't think that works anymore. Like that's, if you've been fucking sucks, you've been inside one for any extended amount of time. You're like, I feel like I can break everything off inside of here. Like, I feel like it's all,
Starting point is 00:09:38 it's all pull apartable. Yeah. And then we will talk. Hell yeah. Uh, UFO skepticism, uh, skepticism about the hearings on Capitol Hill and just where we're all currently falling in this. Still praying they're real.
Starting point is 00:09:53 Ontological event. Yes. All that, plenty more. But first, Molly Lambert, we do like to ask our guests, what is something from your search history? Oh, God. I always forget to see what i have looked up what the most consistent bit on this show sing song and i know you're not lying because the way your attention just shifted like yeah where the fuck is this shit oh shit what did i look up i mean you know i was looking up those aliens you know i was looking up those aliens you know i was looking up those aliens you and everyone else
Starting point is 00:10:31 i feel like and did you feel you feel satisfied by the amount of like reliable sourced information that came out over the past i like how they just dropped it on a random day. I just dropped it on a Wednesday. They're real. Aliens are real. Tom DeLong of Bink 182, this is your day. Have we checked in with Tom? Is he taking a victory lap or something?
Starting point is 00:10:58 I was checking in with Avi Loeb. He's not committing to anything. He's just like, pay attention to what they say. See if you find them trustworthy. But he's like, you should believe me. You should mainly think about me i'm scooping up uaps i'm gonna scoop up because i think you know right now he did scoop he did scoop some things and some materials in motion yeah so avi lobe former guest harvard astrophysicist let's see those tings then really like he would he was like a black hole guy for his whole career and very respected and then amua amua came into our solar system and he was like that's
Starting point is 00:11:32 probably an alien right like come on that that's an alien come on that's an alien guys and like totally changed the course of his career and he was in the pacific looking at something that had like entered our atmosphere at a speed that suggested that it was interstellar that it came from outside our solar system and he claims that he has scooped it and the things that he scooped are being evaluated in labs right now so i guess we'll have more on that we'll see he's like ah they're they're diet coke cans like honestly you know what at the bottom of the ocean all looks the same it's all brown and rusted and that's why they banned they're trying to ban diet coke yeah it's because they're admitting
Starting point is 00:12:18 that aspartame is midichlorian midichlorian exactly aspartlorians. Exactly. Aspartame. Thanks, What would the thing be like? Because the claim is that the military and also private industry has been trying to reverse engineer various technologies for the past decades. What product would be least surprising to find out like, Oh, this is actually, I think Diet Coke. diet coke is a great answer because it's like very addictive yeah people that drink it can't stop it is perfectly
Starting point is 00:12:53 balanced it kind of tastes like dry yeah it just dries your mouth out at the end it's like oh you're about to experience a bad aftertaste but then that aftertaste is going to turn into sparkles and dryness in your mouth and in your veins for some reason. It's midichlorian action. They're working. That or White Claw.
Starting point is 00:13:17 White Claw feels very straightforward. Somebody who had just learned to use a rock as a tool could have come up with White Claw. I don't know. I think it's genius. It's for babies. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:31 It's like baby's first alcohol. Oh, yeah. Babies love it, too. I can report. I can report. Babies love the mango one. Yeah. Kids love the mango flavor.
Starting point is 00:13:42 You know how they used to give babies a little little bourbon make you sleepy a little white poor little white claw in their mouth oh the grossest version like low octane alcohol it's like it's it's only like five percent it's gonna be a lot you're gonna have to maybe do like a third of a can you drink this bottle yeah what was the first uh alcohol you ever tasted like i think i took a sip of like a michelob when i was like four from my dad i was just saying that the alcohol that i did drink in high school because i've never been a big drinker but that was you know i was trying probably like mike's hard lemonade right another baby alcohol first one as a baby that I had, or I remember as a small child, I think I was four,
Starting point is 00:14:27 I always wanted to drink the foam when my dad poured a beer. I was like, let me get that foam. Because in my mind, it looked like ice cream or something. It's like a non-Newtonian object, beer foam. It was so underwhelming that I was like, man, I'm good. I'm off this shit.
Starting point is 00:14:43 That's what I remember. Until I'm good. I'm off this. Yeah. You know, that's what I remember. Yeah. Till I became 15. When I was 15, I got real serious about like Mike's hard type stuff, like wine coolers and Zima, like Bartles and James and shit. I think it was actually more when I was like 13. That's what White Claw is like.
Starting point is 00:15:01 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's like an extended family. Just without the stone. Right. Yeah. The Bartles and James though james though those are fun to bring to like just like those weird bottles yeah because people are like what the fuck are you drinking like those are so funny because it is funny that like teenagers drink those right they are like like basically a soda yeah yeah and like fun flavors exactly
Starting point is 00:15:22 in fun flavors but they But they're pretty gross. Like do people, like no adults drink wine coolers. Keep some B&Js sitting refreshed up in the stairway. Let's have a party. Let's have a B&Js. Just bring it back. Wine cooler. Yeah, Zanzima.
Starting point is 00:15:39 Exactly. Tequizas all around. Molly, what's something you think is overrated? God, I've done this one before, but it's all I can think about is fucking summertime sucks. It's been the most consistent one. Yeah. Like not even from you, just in general.
Starting point is 00:15:59 What is it for you? The fucking heat? Yeah, bro. I hate it. I'm not made for this. Yeah, right. Yeah, because I'm sure you got to protect that skin. You're in.
Starting point is 00:16:10 Yeah, I literally can't get tan even if I wanted to. So I just, yeah, I resent having to put on like a full body layer of sunscreen to exit my home. Right. Just go to 7-Eleven. I get that. Go to 7-Eleven and get a wine cooler. Just get some Carlo Rossi sangria. When I'm putting on my powder makeup
Starting point is 00:16:30 to go drink some wine coolers at 7-Eleven. There are days I straight up am just like, I'm just going to stay inside until it's dark so I don't have to put on sunscreen. Yeah. I mean, it is. It's hot out there, it turns out. They said this is the hottest
Starting point is 00:16:45 month on in recorded history on earth the history of the earth for now for now i love when you say that then people are like you mean the coolest month yeah right exactly like no i think it's still gonna be the hottest uh yeah they're just like it'll never it'll it'll just keep being hotter every year so we'll look back on this summer. It's like, oh, it was nice compared to now. It's 130,000 degrees. Yeah. Yeah, the people going to Death Valley to, like, do heat tourism. I saw even more fucking pictures of that shit, like, going up.
Starting point is 00:17:17 What is wrong with you? I feel that way about people who go to Palm Springs, like, during this time of year where they're like, hmm, can't wait to, like, sit in 120 degree heat and like sit in a pool and i'm like yeah i could go to the valley if i want that experience the thing is doing that shit in palm springs when it's like triple digit like into the 110s you're you're fucked after just being out there for like two hours even if you are in a pool like you'll then the rest of your day you have like a headache and you're like i'm just gonna yeah i like don't have that gene whatever it is that makes people want to go go sit and be like a lizard person i i truly like i love the desert i love it at night oh yeah yeah but yeah you're not a heat seeker sunrise i'm not
Starting point is 00:18:00 a heat seeker it's it's like evolved that way. You are more highly evolved. I would die. I'm an alien. This is why I confess I'm an alien. Those are lizard people. Those are the lizard people. They're still crawling onto the rocks trying to feel the sun's warmth. What is something you think is underrated?
Starting point is 00:18:22 A nice cold glass of water. So we've had room temp recently. Yeah, someone said room temp recently. that you think is underrated? A nice cold glass of water. Mm-hmm. So we've had room temp recently. Yeah, someone said room temp recently. That's ice in my water. Yeah. Give me cold water. I think a cold... Nothing hits like cold water on a hot day.
Starting point is 00:18:39 I think it's just easier to... For whatever reason, it's easier to drink. I'm more motivated to go cold water. Have you guys seen those women on like tiktok who drink flavored water yes have you seen this jack it's how they all make insane like flavor water combos yeah and they're like like improving water with these like water hacks where they basically just like mix a bunch of crystal light into water yeah i find it you're drinking you're drinking diluted crystal light or like mio or other people use like fucking like uh like
Starting point is 00:19:12 barista syrup pumps and shit oh god i just can't relate to people that are like oh i don't really like water i need water to like taste different it's like what are you talking about what's going on about well i have found that the crystal light flavoring helps cover up some of the gamey aftertaste that you get from raw water you know like oh yeah when you're drinking your raw water when you're drinking your raw water and it kind of tastes like sewage because it's like just from a pond somewhere that they scooped it out of it does help help to have low-fructose diet. No, no, that's nutrients, Jack. Those are the nutrients that go in your body.
Starting point is 00:19:50 That's just soup, folk. They just get the midichlorians out. That's right. There's also the raw milk people now. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Raw milk people have been replaced by raw water people. Even better, even better. People wasting insane amounts of money.
Starting point is 00:20:06 raw water people even better even better people wasting insane amounts of money i do feel like we've seen a some improvements in like we were talking sunscreen applications we've got we've got a bunch of stick-based sunscreen applications for my kids roll on and like something that is is like a deodorant stick that just makes my life a hundred times easier and there's also the powder thing that like you powder yeah there's like a powder i mean it's mainly my wife uses it but sometimes we'll just like just shake some dust on the uh on the kiddos before they go out you know shit all right this is what i always say ever since i learned that hippos make their own sunscreen by sweating yeah why can't we do that wouldn't that make so much sense if our sweat was sunscreen This is what I always say. Ever since I learned that hippos make their own sunscreen by sweating, why can't we do that?
Starting point is 00:20:47 Wouldn't that make so much sense if our sweat was sunscreen? Yeah. Genetically modify us so that our sweat was sunscreen. Hippos, they sweat red. It looks like blood. But it's just a little sunscreen. Oh, wow. Good for them.
Starting point is 00:21:01 I want that. Yeah. And I like the way their tails just launch a bunch of shit everywhere. Yeah. Yeah. That was my favorite. Horsetex. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:10 Hippos are the coolest. Anyone who just gets to hang out in the water all day. Like they're in Palm Springs just shitting on themselves, sweating sunscreen. It's the life, truly. Just like people on vacation. But you know what? Those people pay for it and these hippos get to do it for free. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:21:27 They're the kings of the jungle. Or they're just in captivity. Yeah, exactly. You'll pay for it with your life. Yeah, if I see a hippo in my pool, wiggling its ears or whatever. You're good with that? I'm going to kiss it. Oh.
Starting point is 00:21:40 Well, I wouldn't do that. They're dumb. I wouldn't do the kissing because they... The other thing I like about hippos is that they will bite a human in half. Look, look, that's what most people that's what they do to like a normal person. But they can tell I'm cool. Right, right, right. They respect you because you're not a hippo whisperer. Yeah, I'm not a hater. I'm like them. I get y'all. Okay, I get you. I'm like one of you.
Starting point is 00:22:05 I'm like that grizzly man, but for hip, I'm the hippo lady. Yeah. I just want a little kiss. You just have to say, I can't wait for that documentary to come out about you and the hippos and your last journey to hang out with the hippos like grizzly man.
Starting point is 00:22:20 Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it's sad that I died kissing a hippo, but I had to be me. Werner Herzog presents Hippo Girl. As she went to Africa for one last time, she wanted to feel the embrace of the hippo. I just want to do that so that when I die, Werner Herzog will listen to the tape of my death.
Starting point is 00:22:44 He'll be like, nobody should hear this. Yeah. The Grizzlies really took their time with that, dude. I feel like the hippo tape would be very... He'd put the headphones in and then be like, and take them off. He's like, oh, you can hear her get bitten in half. You can hear the bones.
Starting point is 00:23:00 Oh, you can hear the exact sound when her snap's in half. Yeah. It's like when you go to a sushi restaurant and you pull the chopsticks apart. And she's weirdly saying, wee! Well, that's good. She seems to be fucking enjoying it. Having fun. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:19 I guess the way, Jack, you would respond if you were just devoured by a great white. Yeah. Wee! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yeah. That's what. Couldn't respect Quint the way he went out crying and screaming.
Starting point is 00:23:33 Enjoy it, man. Be present. Please. Be present. Are you doing Jaws spoilers? You're one with the shark. Yeah, sorry. Yeah, that's true.
Starting point is 00:23:41 Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry. God. Spoilers for a movie from 1976 or whatever. Yeah. My bad, y'all. All right. Did you say jaw or y'all? Let's take a quick break, and then we will check in with the happenings on Capitol Hill yesterday, including clear evidence that Mitch McConnell, McConnell Sontz, is over.

Yeah, but like, so, you know, we're obviously just the backdrop of this mcconnell story i think it's important to know you know we're we're currently a nation that is being controlled by elderly politicians uh many of whom should just release their fucking death
Starting point is 00:27:55 grip on power and influence and just fucking retire you know like we've talked about with di-fi fucking uh chuck Grassley, RBG. There's always like examples of people like, you know, you could just retire. You know what I mean? That wouldn't be very girl boss of them to retire. Just to acknowledge that you don't maybe don't need to toil anymore and can enjoy. There's one thing I learned from the movie Barbie. It's that women can be despots, too.
Starting point is 00:28:25 Yes, exactly. Exactly. Shout out Gina Haspel over at the CIA. But, you know, on Wednesday, Mitch McConnell had a pretty fucking grim moment during a press conference where he stopped talking fucking mid-sentence for about like 20 something seconds. Or as I timed it, I got about halfway through Inspector Dex's verse from the Wu-Tang song Triumph before he was ushered off. But yeah, just the clip is, it kind of speaks for itself in that he doesn't say anything.
Starting point is 00:28:54 But here, let's check it out. This week has been good by Bars and Cooperation. And a string of... And a string of... Now people are stepping in. Now somebody puts their hand to his back. Hey Mitch, anything else you want to say? Anything else you want to say? Or you want to go back to your office?
Starting point is 00:29:31 Do you want to say anything else? He's not saying anything. Huh? And then he just kind of waddles away. It's so It's very troubling. Yeah, I mean like a lot of people have said all kinds of things like, oh my god, what's going on with him? You know, is he an NPC? Is it a stroke? What's happening with him?
Starting point is 00:29:49 But according to his spokespeople, he said he was just feeling lightheaded. He went back to his office for a second and then came back out before the press conference ended and apparently answered a couple of questions. and apparently answered a couple questions. But this is all also against the backdrop of the reports that are coming out that many people in his orbit are like, this dude has fallen numerous times this year. Like, if you remember earlier in the year, he fell downstairs or some shit, got a concussion, and was fucking out of action for a long time.
Starting point is 00:30:19 And again, just seeing the reaction of those other senators, it felt like one of those things where they're like, oh shit, okay, hold on, let's get him the fuck out of here because it's it's happening it feels like there's some necromancy going on with him like when he just like turned blue for a little while oh yeah for one news cycle last year remember his hands too yeah his hands like turned blue like start getting all this like blue shit on it yeah Yeah. He just seems like he shouldn't be anywhere, but in a very comfortable chair, just kind of in a prison,
Starting point is 00:30:52 maybe, maybe whatever. Yeah. You should really just be in a jail. So, but yeah, yeah. But again,
Starting point is 00:31:00 if you think this could lead to a resignation in where a democratic governor of Kentucky, Andy Beshear, can appoint a Democrat to fill that seat. Wake the fuck up, folks, because the GOP in Kentucky basically passed a law that says if McConnell resigns, he can only be replaced by another Republican. And Beshear tried to veto it to no avail. So there's not even like a silver lining here. Like, yeah, get him out of here. Maybe you can flip that seat. Nope. Yeah, that's not it either. I mean, the thing I'm hearing from like doctors say it's probably a TIA, which I don't know, transient ischemic attack, which sometimes referred to as mini strokes, but they're pretty serious they're a sign that like other you know stroke like things might be on the way so i mean if you find yourself doing this or see
Starting point is 00:31:52 see this happen to someone it's like a pretty serious thing or it's just evidence that we're in the matrix that that woman that everybody saw who was frozen on TikTok was just the first sign and people are just going to start falling out like freezing for 30 seconds here and there. So keep your eyes peeled, people. Keep your confirmation bias set to hell. Yeah. That's all you got to do. Watch the skies, folks. Watch the skies. Drink your raw milk. Yeah, exactly. Do you think I Drink your raw milk. Yeah. Exactly. Do you think, I mean, I'm really curious to see, like, if this is going to, if he would resign or whatever.
Starting point is 00:32:31 Because like you're saying, it looks like this guy has just been, like, rotting on camera for the last couple years. Yeah, you know what I mean? None of them would. That would be admitting defeat. Yeah. Do you think he's the kind of guy where, like where it'll go so far where they're like, dude, it's like Dave. It's like he died, dude.
Starting point is 00:32:51 Yeah. And we got this other dude just filling in for him and he kind of sucks at it. Is that what Dave is about? Never seen Dave. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The president dies and then... Look, man, they're making an AI Mitch McConnell in the lab right now. Yeah. And no one will
Starting point is 00:33:06 be able to tell the difference between the glitchy ai mitch mcconnell and the real guy yeah right right which is not a testament to how good ai is but just how little of how low a standard we hold politicians to you know so yeah check get that checked out m Mitch. I mean, you know, I'm not a fan at all, but this is fucking embarrassing, man. Like, get these... We need fucking term limits, man. I'm tired of watching, like, old-ass people fucking glitch out and shit.
Starting point is 00:33:34 What is the thing that happens that eventually, like, leads to term limits? Because the way the American media and political cycle works... I think the empire's going to fall before that happens. Yeah. Right. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:46 Yeah. Yeah. Solving those issues. Considering how things have been going the past few years, I think. The explosion of the Death Star is the first. Yeah. Pretty much. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:56 Yeah. I think the aliens blowing the White House up like in Independence Day. Totally. Yeah. In that first. Oh. Yeah. That would be sick though.
Starting point is 00:34:03 I'd go to the first interstate bank building like they did in LA. I think we've talked about this before. I would 100% be... You know that the friend who works at the strip club in that movie with Vivica? And then she goes to the top of the building with a sign that's like, Welcome! Welcome! She's like, we love y'all
Starting point is 00:34:25 opening they're opening the doors when they put that blue dot on you and they're like yay i've been chosen yeah yeah same instinct as the hippos for me it's like i've been chosen yeah yeah yeah yeah we yeah. Wee! He vaporized me, he vaporized me. But look, if you're going to go, that's the way to do it. Truly. The most iconic way to go as a human is to be vaporized in the first beam ever shot.
Starting point is 00:34:57 First hostile beam ever shot. Oh, yeah. Then I will be a martyr, a wonderful, celebrated martyr for the aliens. Yeah. The alien kids who are like anti-violence will be like, she's our hero. She was so kind. She sacrificed herself. They erect statues of you.
Starting point is 00:35:18 Yeah. Like when you're holding a poster. Because I'll be fun. All right. Let's talk Tesla. all right let's talk tesla because i feel like it as we've seen elon musk not be very smart in highly public ways with regards to his just systemic destruction of twitter i feel like tesla still remains like well it's a good car company right and so reuters looked at this event that happened with their diversion team in Nevada, which is a team with a specific task of canceling drivers' service requests when they have range issues. Tesla's basically as ordered by Elon Musk himself are lying when they tell you what range your car has.
Starting point is 00:36:07 Right. Which, you know, could never turn around and become a problem for somebody when they're like, you know, driving through the desert or something like that, doing heat tourism. Right. So his strategy, he's basically like, I want people to feel good when they drive off the lot and see the high range as they drive their car you know and it should say 350 400 mile range you're like oh fuck yeah let's go but little do they know that they fucking rigged all the software in the fucking car so you're just in an illusion world the whole time yeah quote elon wanted to show good range numbers when fully charged. When you buy a car off the lot, seeing 350 mile, 400 mile range, it makes you feel good, but it is a lie. And, you know, they would see their ranges shrink over time. They would see
Starting point is 00:36:58 that, you know, driving a quarter of a mile would cause the mile odometer or whatever to like fall by three miles at a time. Right. So people start reaching out to Tesla through their service app about the issue, not realizing it's like all part of the CEO's mind game. And their servicing department was overwhelmed by people being like, this thing doesn't go as far as fucking things yeah you lied to take my money from me that's should be illegal right no no no it's just a marketing play it's like a cool it's like an ingenious stroke of genius from here okay you're having issues let me let me shift you to our specialized team that i'm gonna put you on the phone with right now to solve this issue. Okay. Yeah. And that specialized team was actually the diversion team and they were put in place
Starting point is 00:37:51 purely to talk to people and get them to cancel their appointments with the service team. Really? And yeah, they're just there to be, to reassure you like, oh, it's actually a software issue. Let me run a diagnostic. Actually, what's happening is your driving technique is worse than other people's driving Can you describe how you drive the Tesla? Just I'm curious. Oh, actually, I can just like run a diagnostic here. Okay, we just ran the diagnostic. Are you RZA as Bobby Digital? Just making computer sounds with your mouth is that a real computer exactly this is what it's like though when you call them to like reset your internet you know yes and they're like oh yes we're doing something over the phone beep beep beep beep beep and i'm like are you i know a zeitgang
Starting point is 00:38:39 zeitgang if you're telecom cables i gang what happens when you're like okay i'm just gonna i'm just gonna refresh the line really quick or they say some shit like that. And I'm like, no, I still didn't do nothing. I think so much of this is like they have teams whose job it is to hold on to the business and like get rid of any friction, any sorts of complaints.
Starting point is 00:39:00 Like that is what they're designed to do. They're not designed to deliver any sort of service like in these massive companies. So like that office reportedly has the vibe of a telemarketing boiler room complete with a xylophone that employees struck to celebrate appointment cancellations. I love it. I love it. Because, I mean, yeah, you find out that for their business, each canceled appointment saves them a thousand bucks. So they're like, yes, saved you money, Elon. Thank you. Can I leave the boiler room? What if they just built a car that worked and didn't blow up?
Starting point is 00:39:34 Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on, Molly. What the fuck are you talking about? Don't you understand capitalism? This guy wants to lie. Sorry, sorry. I'm not on X anymore. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sorry, I'm not on X anymore. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, you got to join.
Starting point is 00:39:47 He's really taking it to a new level. The things they would say, they would offer drivers tips on extending range by changing driving habits. So, yes, fully gaslighting, being like, it's actually your fault. Your driving habits are bad, and that's what's happening to your range. And then also reminding drivers that the epa approved range estimates were just a prediction not an actual measurement we didn't know you were going to drive like a fucking maniac also like whatever it says on the range that's just like it's opinion man man yeah managers told advisors to stop running remote diagnostic tests on the vehicles of owners who had reported
Starting point is 00:40:25 range problems meaning that thousands of people were told that their cars were totally fine by advisors who had actually never run the diagnostics but presumably you know because their job is just to get this motherfucker off the phone did claim like all right let me just run a quick uh check check here real quick. Uh-huh. Beep, beep, beep, beep, boop, boop. Uh, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's, uh, your driving is fucked up. Oh, yeah, you gotta let it go. Better luck next time, asshole. Yeah. Any tips? I don't know. Don't be so shit at driving.
Starting point is 00:40:56 Yeah. They also updated their app so that customers who complained, this is my favorite detail, customers who complained about range could no longer book service appointments. So they put it on your permanent record that you were complaining about this thing. You're a range complainer? You're a range complainer.
Starting point is 00:41:15 A thing that is just basically you noticed that they lied to you and misrepresented the product that you were buying. Like one of the most expensive purchases of your life. They lied about that. the product that you were buying like one of the most expensive purchases of your life they lied about that and if you complain about that you can't book service appointments anymore when is i can't this is gonna end up being like a massive lawsuit right it seems like it has to right like i feel like if you own a tesla you're like oh man let me get this class action check please yeah like what the fuck is about to happen to this shit i feel like the people who own teslas drink the kool-aid though they're like no no look it's a good car it could why would it cost 50 million dollars if it wasn't the best i know a couple of people who have bought
Starting point is 00:41:53 them in the last five years and they they've kind of come around to like being like it's so fun look it makes fart sounds and then they're like yeah i don know. It's kind of a bummer right now. Shit's breaking. My door panel's falling off. Turns out those fart sounds weren't supposed to be happening. That was actually just the car's computer fucking melting down. Honking the horn as fart sounds come out. That's so funny that that is,
Starting point is 00:42:22 like when iPhones were first invented, everyone was like, the sky's the limit with these things. People are going to develop all these apps that are going to blow your mind. It was like, look, it makes... It's like one of those portable fart machines. Yeah, or it goes, ham, ham, ham, ham. Look, I got ham horn.
Starting point is 00:42:38 Y'all don't have ham horn? Look, we got Angry Birds. Can I see this new game? Yeah, that's going to be... There's going to be an Angry Birds evolution Right, right. Can I see this new game? Yeah, yeah. That's going to be... There's going to be an Angry Birds evolution of Tesla. I would like Angry Birds to sell me a car. Yeah, why not? Thank you.
Starting point is 00:42:53 Then I can shoot it at those pigs. I think that's just how we should be getting around as people. We've talked about the need for more Zeppelin-based and Blimp-based. Oh, yeah. I want the Angry birds to kind of like to do that thing they do in their game where they like launch you yeah just get launched that would be launch you at the pigs does any rappers have a bar that's like call me angry birds because i take shots at pigs or some shit like that no i think you do now that would have been a bar i was
Starting point is 00:43:22 like yo we're gonna make you one of those one of those internet rappers who just raps about internet culture. Oh, hell yeah. Exactly. Terminally online rapper for sure. Terminally online rapper. Oh, let me check the top 10 apps in the store and see if I can spit a few bars about. Yeah. It's like, yeah, i got sober since i'm
Starting point is 00:43:46 off that x and they're like whoa okay this sound like drake actually now you talk about it i know yeah the very very drake-ish uh nothing but blue skies right except i'm not a like man child who has like all this unresolved like anger at women bro last time i was on and we talked about that song every time i hear the song i hear miles's voice going i know i didn't put it but but but also his his instagram captions have been unhinged lately uh well after the poetry book yeah yeah yeah he's just been doing all these like one-liners and they truly like hurt me in my soul make me be like is drake a good rapper what the one-liners are like kind of good are you no they're not good though they make me be like he
Starting point is 00:44:37 has no one around him to be like don't do this bro he had one the other day that was like she asked me for 50 she asked me for 500 000 i said no that's a financial cry sis wow wow wow crisis we're in crisis the financial cry latest one is uh she turned to a man haterater dealing with me like sandpaper, even though her new guy is a fanboy handshaker that's trying to hang with the gang later. Especially after they seen me deal with the garden like a landscaper, come to the jam later, and I'll probably be with 81 in the corner like an exam paper. Why does he sound like Eminem, Bars? Because I'm saying it like Eminem. She called me. She turned to her man, Hater Dayland, with a sandpaper.
Starting point is 00:45:27 Even though her new guy is a fanboy handshaker that's trying to hang with the gang later. Especially after they see me do it. Yeah, you could spit it like that. What was the 81 like an exam paper? He said, come to the jam later, and I'll probably be with 81 in the corner like an exam paper. I don't know who 81 is.
Starting point is 00:45:45 Is he bragging that he got an 81 on an exam paper? No, 81's a person. Totally. But there seems to be a double entendre there hanging in the corner with 81 and an exam paper. Or I guess because he's talking about
Starting point is 00:46:02 because what? Kobe had 81. Oh. That would have made more sense. And he's talking about the Garden. I'm in the corner with 81 and I'm ovulating. Or no, that was against the Raptors. He had that game against the Raptors.
Starting point is 00:46:17 The 81 point game. See, this is too confusing, man. Sorry, we're off this. Your new album. I think it's called For the like for the dogs nice bro just for my dogs just admit it you're gonna be oh he's gonna be with the loneliest dude like forever i think just the loneliest dude forever would be a good title that's a great album i mean that's very on brand yeah I only love my bed and my mom

It doesn't get more Mexican than this. Lucha libre is known globally because it

Starting point is 00:50:54 and we're back we're back so you know i was we were pretty excited we're pretty hyped on these ufo hearings on capitol hill uh the pentagon whistleblower who has super high pentagon clearance which impressed me i just love the stories. The stories are pretty wild. It was a fun hearing. People have gone back and been like, here's some other stuff that he's claimed. David Grush. Yeah, David Grush has one where he claims that
Starting point is 00:51:21 one of the UFOs was acquired by the U.S. government from Mussolini and with the help of Pope Pius XII, like Pope Pius XII spied it and was like, hit the CIA up and they came through or whatever the CIA was at that time. And they came through and like took it away. And then there's also so the roswell incident has been i think a lot of people think of it as like pretty settled like the military has basically come out and been like okay it wasn't a weather balloon it was a high altitude balloon that we were testing out in order to monitor Russian nuclear tests. We didn't want anyone to know about the high altitude spy balloon.
Starting point is 00:52:10 So we just let you believe it was UFOs. And he has been on the record being like, you want, you might want to believe what those, you know, he, he seems like he's thinks Roswell is like UFOs. So people are like,
Starting point is 00:52:24 maybe the cover story, man. Yeahos so people are like maybe that's the cover story man yeah yeah i mean that's that's the thing like when you get into this level it's like yeah you you find like him saying really wild shit and i guess it makes sense to me like it's not impossible that somebody with high level Pentagon clearance is also, you know, that doesn't mean he's not using Google to quote, do his own research or, you know,
Starting point is 00:52:53 since this is all based on interviews he's done with other people, it doesn't mean that he isn't interviewing people who have used the old Google rabbit hole methodology of doing their own research so fair i think maybe i was lent giving a little too much weight to like but he has high level pentagon clearance yeah no i mean i think it gives at the very least it does give some level of credibility more more so than the fact of like well this person could have access to some shit like this more so than like if they're truthful or not it's more like well i mean somebody with that might see some shit like that so that in my mind i'm like that's okay okay
Starting point is 00:53:35 go on sir go on what else do you have to say the thing that i find like one scientist is making this point they're like all right so these are alien aircraft or alien you know these vehicles are like breaking the laws of known physics and they like so these aliens are pretty pretty smart presumably but they just like can't stop fucking crash landing on the planet once they get here they make the voyage they fucking crash landing on the planet once they get here. They make the voyage between stars. Yeah, their range was all inaccurate, so they're like, fuck, we're out of battery.
Starting point is 00:54:14 Yeah, the number of crashes, like this guy Michael Garrett, who is a radio astronomer at Manchester University, is like, if there were all these alien spacecraft crashing on Earth, that seems a bit weird. You'd think that they could travel between the stars, that if they could travel between the stars, they could get the last 0.00001% of the journey right too, which I think that's a pretty good point. I have been keeping an eye on the UK and the BBC for their kind of... I feel like they're maybe a little bit more sober about this than I am. I feel like this shit is being taken less seriously by other countries. just has generally has this great need to be meaningful and important. And, you know,
Starting point is 00:55:11 some of us were raised with the idea that there is some all powerful God in the sky, you know, before coming to our senses. And I could just see, you know, that top heavy model of the universe being like, there's got to be something powerful and smart at the top like being you know a reason that americans need this a little bit more than maybe other countries that have like stopped believing in that shit 200 years ago so i don't know i'm just trying to be kind of sober-minded and objective about my own interest in this a little bit, but I am still like that. None of the doubt that people have thrown out since yesterday or two days ago has made me like not interested in this or think it's not an interesting. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:57 I think the fact of being like, okay, so they're so, they're so lit with the technology that they, they just fucking, these things just fucking crash all the time. That was a little bit more like right that i that that sort of seems like a bit of a jump there but i think for the thing that really that makes me in like interested in this shit
Starting point is 00:56:15 is just because like you know i just firmly believe that the universe is so vast that there's there's no way that we can be the only intelligent like life forms out there now whether or not they make it here is a completely other thing but i think i also just i think like philosophically i like anything that sort of gives people the idea that we are not the fucking center of everything yeah and that we are part of just a gigantic fucking universe and we got this one little spot over here but the shit that happens to us or could to happen to like our in our lives or the planet or whatever it's no different than being any other creature on this planet and being human is no like different so i
Starting point is 00:56:57 don't know i think from that perspective i just i just i think that's i'm like i want to feel that that sentiment is sort of validated in a very empirical way. I feel like the UK, that also, if we're talking about cultural biases and the US wanting this big, spectacular, earth-shattering, powerful thing or revelation that we're the ones to discover. I think the UK could be seen as having a bias where they're hostile towards things that prove they're not the center of the universe. Yeah, but they love colonizers. Right. But they're like, we would have colonized them, though.
Starting point is 00:57:34 So, this is Cap. No, no, no. Oh, maybe they have a queen that they're doing it for. Right. A queen, a giant queen ant yeah but molly what what has your experience with these hearings the news cycle of the past few days i just feel like they've been trickling this stuff the past few years of like oh yeah we got ufos oh yeah i got some aliens oh you you
Starting point is 00:58:02 thought we didn't you fools. Yeah. But then I'm like, if they're telling us they have them, that feels like it's, uh, they're doing that to trick us into something. Yeah. It's,
Starting point is 00:58:17 that is the, that is the question that like, I see a lot of smart people being like, this feels like a distraction that they're letting these people say this because you're going there's going to be like the universe is so vast. There's going to be a lot of like hard to explain things from a human perspective. And maybe, you know, the these aren't aliens. These are some other like anomalous thing that we're just like unable to explain currently. Yeah, but that's aliens.
Starting point is 00:58:46 Right. What's the difference? Yeah. And so, but they're letting this bubble up because it's there. There's like something else they're trying to distract us from. I don't understand like what the motivation is for the specific people who are like being the whistleblowers and kind of like burning down their career. They're probably useful idiots. Yeah, I guess that would be the
Starting point is 00:59:10 idea is that they're useful to somebody else. Yeah, I'm probably doing it to distract us because then they're going to be like oh, the aliens have weapons of mass destruction so we have to colonize the moon. Or it's this thing, well, because like the thing that always intrigued me or like
Starting point is 00:59:26 was interesting was that like they're saying that there's like global cooperation about this yet like on the the i don't i don't see any other form of real global cooperation ever happening like with the aliens though for sure and i guess maybe the the logic would be eventually just to like ramp up more spending to like figure out it's like now we're in a fucking alien tech arms race that we've got to really fucking fire up or something but it was strange though to see that committee be so fucking bipartisan it was very strange like yeah that was that's the big tell i'm like people couldn't get it together to work on covid internationally right yeah you're telling me the world's gonna come together for aliens oh i mean we saw an independence day
Starting point is 01:00:14 i mean you know what i mean pilots from many countries flew together as one the one thing i'm seeing it like trotted out as another like everybody calm down thing is that they're like astronomers aren't reporting any of these things that they their job is to monitor the skies with these powerful telescopes that one feels I don't know less convincing to me just because it doesn't seem like what astronomers are looking for is necessarily the same thing that the military would be, or, or that like the things that the military is picking up,
Starting point is 01:00:50 whatever they are, the military is so well funded that they like misplaced $2 billion, like a couple of years ago. Like they, this is, they're everywhere and they have like incredible weaponry and machinery to like a day saying that like well scientists would have seen this by now if it's like the military is so much bigger and more well-funded than than the sciences the science yeah exactly so i don't know and it
Starting point is 01:01:21 you know avi lobe came through and was, yeah, like tell the telescopes that we've been looking into the sky with are not focused on that. They wouldn't see like what these people are describing. Right. where they saw they sensed a weird thing like dropped from high altitudes down to the ocean uh in like too fast to make any sense they scrambled fighter jets to that location and they saw with their eyes with like four people saw with their eyes the tic-tac thing like come up and then like do some wild impossible shit based on our understanding of physics. That's the one that still sticks with me, is I don't understand why this would have come together the way it did. Why a just-work-a-day fighter pilot would, and three other fighter pilots would,
Starting point is 01:02:21 conspire to make this story up. Because they're bored in the desert looking at the sky all day it's like when the ocean is a desert with its life underground it's like when this girl in my eighth grade class lied and said rebecca lobo was her mom the basketball player for the new york liberty and we were like no she isn't and we're like what the fuck was that about just for attention you know yeah i mean that is okay no she was not you know what's funny though and i'm sorry to take it there we want to we were we went to we had like a trip where we're going to the east coast and we're like oh where's your mom

Starting point is 01:03:59 I got to meet him after this. He's fucking pissed. He wants to see those fucking photographs of spider-man see that empirical evidence yeah the the fame thing i guess is the like that everybody wants to be famous in the modern world and even though like you know nobody has become famous in a good way in u.s history from being like i saw aliens like maybe it's just the are you forgetting Tom DeLonge but he didn't go he was famous for being in Blink-182

Starting point is 01:04:48 everybody on his twitter right now yeah that's right well in love with the aliens at the alien show they're so cool and i want to see where they come from so my overall position on this is like cautiously intrigued and just going to keep paying attention for more information. For me, I'm like, you know, I'm open to it. Yeah, I'm I'm UAP curious. I'm why I mean, so I just want to, you know, but like for me, too, it's not going to be enough for this guy to be like, yo, I saw this. There's not human biologics or whatever.
