you haven't had anyone around you who has told you the truth in such a long time
about the insides of your walls though yeah right you would think that she would have had enough
contractors come through her house to like isn't she so so rich like yeah and also enough self
awareness as a writer she's like living inside of a tragedy. Her house is a metaphor, right? It's very
direct. It's very meta.

as a metaphor.

Here, like
3,000 episodes into

discipline is bad.
Quit kissing your mic, Jack.
Quit making out with the mic.
I'm eating that thing. Probably spitting
on that thing, to be honest. The mic
is his couch.
Yeah, it is.
It's to me what the couch is to other people.
It is Thursday, August 15th, 2024.
Did I say that?
I don't know.
Who cares?
Who knows? My name is Jack O'Brien, a.k.a.

Cause of budgets
Till 25
Stuck at dock and need a shower
My teeth rot from Boeing

I know you expected it to keep going
But it did not
It was plenty
Well done
JMU sick one on the discord in reference to the
boeing astronauts who are stuck on the international space station because boeing cannot stop fucking
up they just they don't want to actually they're uh yeah so're going to keep them up there until 2025. It makes them horny.
Boeing is like, ooh, did we do that?
Sorry.
Making a little Betty Boop hand over mouth.
While they're rubbing their nipples.
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
Boeing is so horny about getting those astronauts stuck up there.
It is boy astronaut, girl astronaut boy astronaut girl astronaut the emergency room
they're pulling astronauts out of boeing yeah like oh no you're back again you just fell on an
astronaut oh no that's right yeah it's like a less feel-good version of the martian Like if all the scenes about science were about like quarterly earnings and like PR spin
and them just fighting with NASA to be like, let us blow them up. We just want to get them.
This looks so bad. Anyways, I'm thrilled to be joined by a very special guest co-host,
a hilarious standup comedian, writer, actor, improviser. You can catch her on stage at the monthly facial recognition comedy show,
which she also produces.
It's Pallavi Gunali!
Okay, get ready for this one.
I know you wanted me to stay,
but I can't ignore the crazy visions of me in D.C.
And I heard that there's a special couch where boys and girls can
all be queens every single day. I'm having wicked dreams of leaving Ohio. I hear the White House,
I swear it's calling me. We'll make the tech bros proud. It's gonna cause a scene. They see their
baby boy. I know they're gonna scream, Vance, what have you done?
You're a pink pony boy.
And you dance with rip hubs.
Silicon Valley, I'm just having fun.
On the stage in my wig.
It's where I belong.
Down with the alt-right rip hubs.
I'm gonna keep on dancing with the alt-right rip hubs.
I'm gonna keep on dancing with the alt-right repubs. I'm gonna keep on dancing down in Washington.
I'm gonna keep on dancing with the alt-right repubs.
Alt-right repubs.
Wow.
I had to make up for yesterday.
Wait, what was yesterday?
I don't know.
I was hosting and I didn't do it.
Oh, that's okay.
Yeah.
Well, you went hard today.
I went hard.
I had to balance out your throwbacks, Jack.
You have a good selection.
And I had to throw in someone whose name I can't pronounce still.
What is that song?
It's Pink Pony Club by Chapel Roan.
I don't even know how to say her name.
Chappelle Roan. I know. I keep calling dave chapelle roan which is so bad yeah i figured it was a song by either chapelle roan or the other one who rat espresso i know
i know charlie xeo yeah serena carpenter the other one that I'm just like, yeah, sure.
But, uh-huh.
I get it.
That is some energetic pop music.
But I am too old.
Well, Pallavi, it's wonderful having you here.
Tip your waiters.
She's here all week, folks.
But we are thrilled to be joined in our third seat by a very talented writer, stand-up comedian,
co-host of the Bechdel cast,
one of the great film podcasts.
They also happen to have a master's degree in film.
Not something that they ever
mention, but I'm just putting it out there.
That's wild. I didn't know that.
I had no... Oh my god.
I had no idea.
The most anagrammable name in the
English language.
So if you've been given their name in a jumble of out-of-order Scrabble tiles,
you may know them as Lauren D. Titanic or Nine Tit Dracula or Latin Dancer UTI.
But to us, they will always be Caitlin Durante!
Who me?
AKA, got another one.
Got another.
I think this is new.
Wow. Okay, ready? Let Acid Rain Nut. aka got another one got another i think this is new wow okay ready let acid rain not let you know acid rain not if you're like what what should i let acid rain do
let it not let it not you know thank you
oh gross but i like it. Question mark.
I feel like that's been a Republican policy for generations.
Let acid rain do its thing all over you.
Just let it not.
Yeah.
Just all over your face and body. They're like Mother Nature, more like male nature.
Daddy nature, let it not all over your face.
Yes, please. Chemical, harmful, corrosive chemicals all over your face please chemical harmful corrosive chemicals all over your
face yeah yes and then it throws a towel at us it tells us to clean up after yeah exactly
caitlin how are you doing oh gosh i'm as good as anyone could be while we're all dying of capitalism yeah so great great great just in
denial you know just making our way through the world making our way through the world today
and it kind of sucks all right well caitlin we're gonna get to know you a little bit better in a
moment first we're gonna tell the listeners a couple of things we're talking about today. Trump is suing America as things continue to go bad behind scenes for him. I love the
picture of him. Did you guys see the picture of him just like staring down at his phone,
kind of with his hands folded? The menswear guy started going on his shoulder pads because
they're all weird looking yeah yeah yeah too
too padded but yeah uh i feel like that really sums up where we're at with him where he's just
like looking at his phone i think it was actually the elon musk interview but it does just look like
somebody looking at their phone waiting for someone to text back and it feels like he is
at the point where he's like waiting for amer to text back and be like, we are still interested in the crazy shit you do.
And it's just not happening.
Hey, man, you're weird.
Yeah. We'll talk about how that's all going.
We'll talk about the plans to rat fuck the election from the Republican side.
We'll talk about the decline of Hollywood.
We talked yesterday about Apple
reining in some of their streaming spending.
Paramount just shit-canned their TV studios.
So we'll look at just the broad world
of a depressed entertainment economy.
We might even get to Mr. Beast's
real-world squid game.
That was insane. apparently not great,
which I was surprised by. I mean, you've got Mr. Beast, you've got an unironic real world
version of squid game. I don't see what could go wrong with those two ingredients combined.
There's the interview of the person who was kept awake in solitary confinement for 30
days. Did you hear about this? No, I didn't see that. It might be violating war rules. Yeah,
Geneva Convention. That's what's so funny about him is he violates Geneva Conventions, but he gets
people to do it because he has a lot of money. So it's cool. And we like it. Mr. Beast,
folks, we love him, don't we, folks? I think Trump's going to fire Vance and replace him
with Mr. Beast. I think that's the only thing that could save his campaign. Before we get to
any of it, Caitlin, we do like to ask our guests, what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are?
I googled this phrase, dating apps that don't suck shit.
Oh, okay.
And it didn't yield the results I was hoping for.
Did it yield results about people who like sucking shit?
Dating apps that do suck shit.
No, it was just like, here are some dating apps that you already use and that do indeed such shit.
Have traumatized you in real time.
Yeah.
So I didn't really find what I was looking for, but I think I made a valiant effort.
Yeah.
Do you remember that one?
That was a good search.
I don't know how they got around to that search.
That seems pretty airtight.
It's bulletproof right there.
Thank you.
What is the name of the like when someone's
attracted to somebody's intelligence sapiosexual they had an app that was like that and it was all
the dumbest people right it's like people who just found out what the word sapiosexual means
sure and i'm sure it attracts a lot of people who do their own research yeah which are not always
actually the smartest
people I have found and that's just a
personal opinion but it's what I have found
yeah I feel
I feel like
there's probably a dating app that
like their logline
their pitch is like we're the dating app
that doesn't suck shit and it's
just the worst dating app probably
because like that's just how
capitalism this modern version of capitalism works is like so we'll claim that we don't do
the thing that we actually do and then we do that thing harder than any anybody else anyone else
yeah uh yeah they all seem to be competing with each other for the suck shittiest
the shit suckingest app how is how is the meeting people in real life situation right now given that
the app sucks so bad i feel like i'm people might be going back to that is that true i think so i
keep hearing about people joining like running clubs to meet people. And here's the thing. I don't want to be in a running club, but I did join a co-ed soccer team that started up.
nights and it was just like strangers you know what i mean or people who were trying to make friends and stuff and i feel like that's kind of coming back in maybe not in that format but
yeah i think so i did like a speed date like my first ever speed dating event i don't know like
a while ago now it was like probably six ish months ago but it uh was kind of as it was pretty suck shit as well yeah it's just it's the quality of the people
is the big problem i think they don't have anything against people suck shit yeah it's
the people who suck shit and that's the whole thing with dating is you have to interact with
people and if they suck shit the whole experience that's right and it just so
happens that most people suck shit so you gotta get through the shit suckers to find a real
diamond sucker you know what i mean exactly there's a lot of shit around diamonds
that's true the diamond in the rough more like the diamond in the shit. The diamond in the heavily compacted shit.
You know?
Just the rock hard piece of shit.
Alright.
Daily Zeitgeist.
No, no.
I wasn't getting you on track at all.
Trust me.
I would never do that.
Daily Zeitgeist people.
If you know a single person who doesn't suck shit, DM me so that it doesn't go to Caitlin's inbox.
Right.
And then I can send it to them.
And then all of you filter out
all that yeah thank you caitlin deserves the best and then maybe we'll get one person who
is perfect for you oh let's hope so they have to like paddington and that's about it does anybody
know paddington does anybody know paddington yeah do you know him personally i just want to date you to get
to paddington yeah yeah that's that's what this all comes down to the people on the dating apps
suck shit because they don't know paddington uh i met this person on a dating app they were a real
paddington fucker and that was that was like a story of a great experience, right? That was the beginning of a tale that ends with wedding bells.
Yeah, that's me meeting Caitlin on a dating app.
They just kept asking about Addington.
Yeah.
Just because he's my cousin.
Have you tried AI?
I've been told by the creator of Bumble that we're all just going to be on dating apps using AI as our personal.
Our AIs will date each other to figure out if we're compatible.
Oh, I'd rather walk into the ocean.
Muttering to yourself with rocks in your pocket.
Because there's plenty of fish in the sea.
Yeah, I think that's a better plan, actually, than their plan.
What is something you think is underrated i think raccoons are underrated i love raccoon i know but i think
they have a bad reputation people think they are you know these like skeevy little gross little
creatures who go through your trash and they love, yeah, but, um,
they're so cute and I don't really know a whole lot about them aside from the
fact that I think they're cute and that they have this reputation for being
little trash monsters.
But,
uh,
I don't know.
I love raccoons.
I think they're adorable.
And I think,
um,
people should,
uh,
not be so harsh on them so a couple quick questions
have you seen a raccoon without hair no okay and i don't do that okay and then don't come for the
alopecia raccoons jack i'm not coming for them i'm just warning because I don't want Caitlin to stop liking raccoons.
On the other hand,
I also think raccoons are very cute.
However, I also, so
I was trying to befriend a murder
of crows in my backyard. This was happening
over the course of a year.
You feel so chosen when they like you.
I know. They never really
came around. I think it was
my personality. They were like They never really came around. I think it was my personality.
They were like,
he's like too desperate.
Like,
he just like sits out there next to those almonds and just like has that sad look on his face.
Anyways,
I found one of the crows like ripped in half in my backyard.
And I was like,
what like monstrous cat did this and then i noticed that
it was like right next to a overturned trash can and i have to assume circumstantial circumstantial
yeah it was circumstantial but it was like the most circumstantial and also a raccoon watching blood off its little tiny paws
in a river nearby he like caught him like he like turned around like looking guilty as fuck he
shoved the the bandana from his around his eyes in his pocket and i had seen a giant raccoon like
in my front yard like earlier that week it was it was a lot of circumstantial evidence i just don't think
raccoons kill rip crows in half i did find a video of a raccoon grabbing a crow and then like just
absconding with the crow into the underbrush like on youtube or something so it's like a thing that
they do but not that you can believe everything you see on YouTube,
but it was,
that was an AI generated video.
Probably.
I do think that they're very smart and very cute.
I've seen like a lot of rehab raccoons on my Instagram and they're like,
they're all just like,
I feel like all animals are puppies.
If you give them enough time to get to know them,
you know what I mean?
Yeah.
So I feel like raccoons are similar and i do feel like the reason that we get so annoyed with animals that are in
our proximity because of our own uh our waste uh products is because we don't want to be reminded
of our dirtiness you know what i mean and because raccoons survive off of that or like those monkeys
that kind of survive off of human waste or like waste products or whatever.
Or trash or whatever.
We're like, oh, they're dirty.
Or like pigeons.
But that's us.
That's not the raccoon.
Yeah, it's our waste that they're going through.
Yeah.
They're unwasting all the food that we waste.
Yeah, they're cleaning everything up.
They're little recycling pandas not trash
pandas that's right that's uh reduce reuse recycle that's the motto of raccoons raccoon reduce reuse
and you try to throw it away and hide all the shit that you're wasting they rip it back out
and just put it on blast for everybody to see look at look at what you've done. Yeah, they're the little Greta Thunbergs
of our backyards.
That's great.
Underrated, even though they did murder one of my crows.
What is something you think is overrated, Caitlin?
All right.
Living in LA, this is blasphemous to say,
but I think hiking is overrated. I it anyone who's like go hiking with me
i i tell them to shove it yeah quote shove it it's just it's too hard i know it's a good workout or
whatever but it's slow and it's like i don't want to spend that much time with you and it's hard yeah and and
i'm sweaty and especially like people i've suggested or no sorry people have suggested to me
as a first date that we go hiking and i'm like you want to see me all gross and sweaty and a not sex context right you like no i'm gonna be smelly
yeah and nasty and and also hiking is hard and that's why i don't like it i don't like it and
and i what if you sprain your ankle it the risks are high um i hate hiking the end yeah i don't okay here's the thing i like having done a hike
in the moment i'm like what did i do why did i do this especially when it's hot if it's a cool day
that's different it's like a fun walk and also i think a big part of the la hiking culture
is we don't have enough what is it like uh third places
like not work not home but someplace else where we can yeah third place and we don't have enough
nature that's like right next to us that's like not crowded because of how the city is laid out
so we all take our dogs there because we don't have enough dog parks or yards or whatever. And so for me,
my goal with hiking is to wear my dogs out so that they don't take control of my one bedroom
apartment when I come back, you know? And so I think a lot of people think that way. They're
like, oh, like, it's not just for me, it's for my dog. And then. Fair. I don't have a dog. I have a hundred raccoons. So they can carry you up and down the hill.
You just glide on a sea of raccoons.
That is such a disturbing image with all the tiny paws.
And people tend to find that intimidating for some reason.
And that's why I have such a hard time on the dating apps because they see me with a photo with a hundred raccoons.
And you're getting sweaty during this
just carrying you everywhere yeah what is your ideal first date activity is it a movie is it
just a no i think a movie is a bad first date as much as i love movies because you don't have the
opportunity to interact really and talk.
If it's like dinner plus a movie, maybe.
But I tend to prefer the standard like grab a drink.
If you have like an easy, you're not stuck with a meal if you're not into the day and you need to bail early.
Yeah, we have heard that you are willing to bail mid-meal, mid-drink, like just right.
I've done it.
Yeah.
I've bailed after a half hour kind of thing.
Did you say anything
or did you just slowly back into a bush
like Homer Simpson?
No, I'll be like,
look, I'm not really feeling this.
I'm going to go.
And usually it works out fine. That's so great great i love that i i wish i had done that
on so many occasions i wish i had been like this date is not going well and then i just moved over
a seat and gotten a drink with myself you know what i mean yeah yeah yeah i mean that uh super
producer victor points out that the hiking date if it's not going well you are still stuck walking back
a few miles which is my strategy on a on the first like i think three dates even i think that's why a
lot of men choose it is because they're like i want to go hiking with me it's free and then
they're like you can't bail so they can you know, stick with you the whole time.
And I think that's why a lot of men use it as a first date.
And that's why I hate going.
I don't think I've done like hiking dates as a first date ever.
I only do that with friends I need to catch up with.
I'm like, I need a long catch up with my friend.
And it works great for that.
But I would never do it as a date for sure.
It does take like 45 minutes for them to explain the finer points of
libertarianism though.
So that's why it does work out pretty well because for the first like 30,
you might not be on board,
but it really,
they bring it home.
And Jack,
when you say them,
do you mean?
They just other guys.
Definitely not me.
Not me.
I definitely don't have my favorite libertarian hikes mapped out across the city.
This one is timed out perfectly for the Joe Rogan argument for libertarianism.
Yeah.
I work on my breath so that I can talk.
It's like Beyonce before a concert.
Wait.
I have to be able to talk the whole
I literally used to do that to try to rap the Busta Rhymes verse on look at me now I would
walk up and down hills while I was and like I did the dice rolling yeah to keep the dice rolling
it worked wow yeah amazing that was I remember that was an anecdote about big boy from outcast
that like blew me away when I was a kid that he used to rap while running to get his wind up so that at live shows he never was out of breath.
Yeah, I have friends who are rappers who, since they've started running, have really improved their performance.
And I'm like, wow, guess I'm never going to be a performer.
That's crazy.
That's right.
All right.
I run while I do my stand-up or i just stand
up while i'm running so that i never i'm just running past people i'm like you ever suck a dick
that is the thing you'd see in la just sprint doing sprints hill sprints for their craft yeah
la sounds terrible after this first act.
We're like running clubs or where people meet and like everybody's just hiking.
And everyone's hiking and people hate raccoons.
Yeah.
No, we're allowed to say it.
Other people in New York don't even start saying anything.
Yeah, don't come for me.
We can hate L.A.
We live here.
That's right.
All right.
Let's take a quick break and we'll be right back.
I've been thinking about you.
I want you back in my life.
It's too late for that.
I have a proposal for you.
Come up here and document my project.
All you need to do is record everything like you always do.
One session.
24 hours.
BPM 110.
120.
She's terrified.
Should we wake her up?
Absolutely not.
What was that?
You didn't figure it out?
I think I need to hear you say it.
That was live audio of a woman's nightmare.
This machine is approved and everything?
You're allowed to be doing this?
We passed the review board a year ago.
We're not hurting people.
There's nothing dangerous about what you're doing.
They're just dreams.

How do you feel about biscuits?
Hi, I'm Akilah Hughes, and I'm so excited about my new podcast, Rebel Spirit,
where I head back to my hometown in Kentucky and try to convince my high school to change their racist mascot, the Rebels,
into something everyone in the South loves, the Biscuits.
I was a lady rebel. Like, what does that even mean?
The Boone County Rebels will stay the Boone County Rebels with the image of the Biscuits.
It's right here in black and white in print. A lion.
An individual that came to the school saying that God sent him to talk to me about the mascot switch
is a leader. You choose hills that you want to die on.
Why would we want to be the losing team?
I'd just take all the other stuff out of it.
On segregation academies, when civil rights said that we need to integrate public schools,
these charter schools were exempt from that.
Bigger than a flag or mascot.
You have to be ready for serious backlash.
Bigger than a flag or mascot.
You have to be ready for serious backlash.
Listen to Rebel Spirit on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Hello, everyone.
I am Lacey Lamar.
And I'm Amber Ruffin, a better Lacey Lamar.
Boo.
Okay, everybody, we have exciting news to share. We're back with Season 2 of the Amber and Lacey, Lacey and Amber show on Will Ferrell's Big Money Players Network.
You thought you had fun last season?
Well, you were right.
And you should tune in today for new fun segments like Sister Court and listening to Lacey's steamy DMs.
We've got new and exciting guests like Michael Beach.
That's my husband.
Daphne Spring.
Daniel Thrasher.
Peppermint.
Morgan J. and more.
You got to watch us.
No, you mean you have to listen to us.
I mean, you can still watch us, but you got to listen.
Like, if you're watching us, you have to tell us.
Like, if you're out the window, you have to say, hey, I'm watching you outside of the window.
Just, you know what?
Listen to the Amber and Lacey, Lacey and Amber show on Will Ferrell's Big Money Players Network
on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
And we're back.
There's the image of Trump looking at his phone on a table, looking kind of forlorn, that I feel like is the image of the moment, just Trump waiting for America to text back. continue to like beg him to stay on message and deliver disciplined attacks on harris and walls
via fox news we talked about on trending like they're just going on fox news to be like okay
so this is the strategy sir because because they can't he won't listen to anything that's not like
coming through his tv on fox news but yeah so public appearances, he's acting like nothing's changed.
He's got this in the bag.
There's nothing to worry about.
Behind the scenes,
it's apparently getting a little sweaty,
which might be why he's gone
with a new color palette, by the way.
Have you noticed that he's like
no longer as colorful?
He's just kind of looks like a pale old man now.
It's kind of like biden took his tan
do you remember when they started tanning biden towards the end like old leather towards the end
when he was like debating and stuff and like right after the debate they started making him take the
orange and it's like he sucked the color out of trump yeah through the dick He sucked it through the dick. Whoa. I'm just, I have some short stories that you guys should check out.
Some fanfic on Truth Social.
Oh, some erotic fanfic, you mean?
Yeah.
But yeah, so apparently he has grown increasingly upset about Harris' surging poll numbers and media coverage since replacing Biden on the ticket,
complaining relentlessly and asking friends about how his campaign
is performing, which is I love that little detail.
Instead of telling that's growth.
Oh, my God.
Gurley's been going to therapy.
We love to see it.
Yeah.
He's like, do people like me?
Yes, exactly.
Oh, my God.
We need to bring back the tiny hands thing.
We could have this whole it could be another raccoon moment, you know?
Yeah.
God,
they do have terrifying.
I love their tiny little hands.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But they,
I mean,
but I think that's why they're able to tear a bird clean in half.
Anyways,
they,
uh,
this did not go the way you want it.
I don't think you have enough proof.
Okay.
That it was a raccoon yeah who tore this
crow in half that's all i'm saying i just anyone has information on the crow that was torn in half
please please let us know even if it was a raccoon that tore the crow in half i'm sure he had a
really good reason what if the crow was trying to get at the trash while he was eating the trash
which is his duty as an American.
So,
you know,
the crow fucked up.
You're not getting any closer to the crows either.
Jack,
they're going to hear this.
You know that,
right?
Oh yeah.
They're,
they're big listeners.
But yeah,
I just liked that the Trump campaign has all the polling and like strategic
firepower of a lease leading like presidential campaign.
And he's just
asking his friends how he looks.
He's like, so how do you think
we're doing?
Do I look cool out there?
I mean, that's the whole reason he's running.
That's the only reason. It's for money
and power and
to feel cool in front of Baron.
That's it.
I don't think he knows the shit about baron but
yeah but i mean like the people that rep that baron like that his friends yes yeah yeah that's
true i do feel like a group of like 14 year old boys could completely ruin his self self-confidence
which is very relatable if i got roasted by a group of 14-year-old boys, I would never run for president again.
Yeah.
I'd never leave my parents' basement.
Yeah.
But also, so he's also in public been expressing a lot of confidence in the J.D. Vance pick.
Behind the scenes, not so much.
There's quotes from people who have been talking with him
who said he picked Vance.
He knows Vance was a terrible terrible
pick oh this is scaramucci remember him this guy is back in full force it is so annoying i know
quote he's lighting people up inside his campaign right now about picking vance
which just you know we we all we already know how he feels about Don Jr., who is the one who, like, chose this candidate.
He's like, who? Don Jr.? Who's that?
Yeah, you're dead to me.
I do wonder if he, like, it's probably too late for him to switch up VP candidates, although he seems so jealous of the Democrats making the change that I could see him trying to do it, trying to like fire Vance. And I don't know who he would bring bring in in his place. But like the other quote that they say is he keeps saying it's unfair that I beat him and now I have to beat her too. So he's like, you know, I could see that logic leading him
to try and fire Vance.
But then, yeah, who would he bring in?
Who do you think?
I don't even know.
Like, probably not Marco Rubio,
but I really don't know.
Maybe Nikki Haley, although...
I mean, that would be really funny
because he is very hypocritical.
And so he would be like, oh, I'm very insecure about being old and not a woman and not ethnic in any capacity.
Right.
So I'm going to bring someone in for a DEI, whatever, that I called the other group out on.
Yeah.
But then he would hate her immediately.
Yes.
Oh, yeah. There's no one that he could bring in that he wouldn't absolutely hate i feel like it almost he almost would like want
to get rid of vance and then just run the show like he would be like i'm also vice president
we're like come back like like the like defendant who insists on defending himself. Yeah, I don't need a lawyer.
I'm going to defend myself.
His whole courtroom's out of order.
I mean, he is suing America.
He's basically doing the equivalent of being like,
this whole courtroom's out of order.
Because he loves this country.
Yeah.
So the thing that's kind of putting the whole movement
of the polls away from Trump towards Harris and Walz
into perspective is actually a clip
from Nikki Haley being interviewed on CNN last February, where she said,
the party that gets rid of their 80-year-old candidate is the party that will win.
There will be a female president of the United States. It will either be me
or it will be Kamala Harris. If Republicans nominate Donald Trump or it will be Kamala Harris. If Republicans nominate Donald
Trump, it will be Kamala Harris. We have to respect 70% of Americans said they don't want
a Biden Trump rematch. The majority of Americans disapprove of Trump and disapprove of Biden.
So if that's right, that explains kind of what is happening. People like didn't don't like either
of them. And the only reason trump looked like he was
going to win was because they like really didn't like biden how freaked out do you think nikki
haley is like oh my god i was right you guys that's crazy i did it i got one right that's insane
yeah i can't believe they recorded that yeah but i i just think that there there's so much
energy right now like the latest polling has Kamala up five.
Inflation just dropped to its lowest level in three years.
So everything's looking good for her.
It would be so cool if she could get her administration
to stop funding the mass murder
of a bunch of innocent children in Palestine.
But she is not paying a price for that right now,
unfortunately.
So why would she stop if she doesn't have the external pressure to do so? I mean, I think there are going to be
protests at the DNC. It will be interesting to see how much attention they get and what that
attention looks like, because it really feels like the way the mainstream media metabolized
the student protests it has like turned it into these are like anti-israel protests anti-semitic
protests like that they just like went with the bad faith interpretation yeah it's also interesting
to see how the trends have gone on twitter. Like there's a huge increase in people calling Palestinian protesters or activists, the watermelon people like this has become a thing. Like I knew those watermelon people were insidious or whatever, and trying to pit different cultural groups or races against each other. And it's just been, it's just been really weird to see the influx of those types
of tweets so i'm not sure if they're like genuine or if people are getting caught up or if it's like
bots or something or some combination of them but we do know that there have been bots involved in
previous american elections right before to try to influence it so i wouldn't be surprised if
there were some of that um but simultaneously it is such a dismissive terminology i really hope it's not something that's taking on
a life of its own yeah i mean twitter is absolute garbage except when i do it yeah no we are good
but then no but they're like they just keep pushing the dial to be like more fascists, more. Oh, you you're still using it. How about even more fascists like the I did get a helpful notification that the Trump Musk interview was happening the other night. I was like, oh, cool. Thanks. You know me so well. So I don't know. It's, uh... It's not a good.
Why do you turn into Mario
when you're thinking about the existential destiny
of our country?
It's not a good!
So, I'm trying to
wean myself off of a Trump,
my Trump voice, by doing
a Mario voice. I love that choice.
Yeah, that's a really great choice.
It's not a good
you're a fire mama mia fascism uh let's take a quick break shall we and come back and talk
about things that aren't donald trump maybe let's do it i've been thinking about you
i want you back in my life.
It's too late for that.
I have a proposal for you.
Come up here and document my project.
All you need to do is record everything like you always do.
One session.
24 hours.
BPM 110.
120.
She's terrified.
Should we wake her up?
Absolutely not.
What was that?
You didn't figure it out?
I think I need to hear you say it.
That was live audio of a woman's nightmare.
This machine is approved and everything?
You're allowed to be doing this?
We passed the review board a year ago.
We're not hurting people.
There's nothing dangerous about what you're doing.
They're just dreams.

It was December 2019 when the story blew up. In Green Bay, Wisconsin, former Packers star Kabir Bajabiamila caught up in a bizarre situation.
KGB explaining what he believes led to the arrest of his friends at a children's Christmas play.
A family man, former NFL player, devout Christian, now cut off from his family and connected to a strange arrest.
I am going to share my journey of how I went from Christianity to now a Hebrew Israelite.
I got swept up in Kabir's journey, but this was only the beginning.
In a story about faith and football, the search for meaning away from the gridiron
and the consequences for everyone involved.
You mix homesteading with guns and church and a little bit of the spice of conspiracy theories that we liked.
Voila! You got straight away.
I felt like I was living in North Korea, but worse, if that's possible.
Listen to Spiraled on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
And we're back.
And so we talked yesterday about how Apple announced last week
they're reining in their spending on streaming
after launching a bunch of shows and keeping them a secret.
Like it was a trade secret.
Like they were like, no, you're not supposed to know about that.
This is what I made drinking just for me.
That's right.
Now Paramount announced
within the past couple of days
that they're shuttering their TV studios.
But these are just examples
of how economically depressed
the American entertainment industry
seems to have been for the past year.
Not just economically, buddy.
Have you seen my bank account?
Yeah.
It's bad out there.
Everybody I talk to who works in the entertainment industry
is like, this is the worst I've ever seen it.
That seems to be the...
And I've talked to...
I'm old as fuck, you guys.
I've talked to some very old people
who say it's the worst they've ever seen it.
Well, like over 30? Like even oh my god disgusting i try not to hang out with them but you know we take your life force yeah they need their pudding fed to them so
but i feel like this is all because of and i don't know enough about it so i'm kind of speculating
here but the the that's what that's how this show should be right just like making wild guesses and
yeah as long as you caveat it you can say anything yeah exactly jack got a bbl
so i think i don't know enough about it. I wish. I love a BBL. There's too much supply and not enough demand.
There's just too much content.
And they're spending money on all these shows and all these things.
And every platform has a bazillion original series and original movies and stuff like that.
And it's like, there's no conceivable way that any person who...
Even people who consume a lot of media, such as myself, I'm constantly watching Flims.
Flims?
I don't know.
Yeah, Flims.
Oh, Flims.
They're about three hours long with no pay breaks now.
You know, Flims.
You go to the movie, Nicole Kidman talks at you at the beginning.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, we come to this place for Flims.
go to the movie nicole kidman talks at you at the beginning yeah yeah we come to this place for flint um so it's just like there's too much and that's why i'm guessing that's why there's such
a because back in the day when hollywood was thriving sure it was because there were like
i don't know like quaaludes there's quaaludes and that. Quaaludes and cocaine at the same time.
We thought both of them were healthy.
And there were only like, you know, five new movies coming out every month. And there was like just not that much content.
And now there's too much.
And if I know anything about the economics, which I don't, but I know that it's like supply and demand.
Yes.
And there's too much supply and not.
There has been. Yes. And there's too much supply and not. There has been.
Yes.
For a while now.
And they're investing or like mentoring or allowing things to grow, which I think is tied into that problem.
They're not allowing good content.
As an avid reality TV show fan, I have to call out that the reason that they do that is because it's a lot cheaper to
do that and pump out a ton of seasons of the same show rather than invest in like the development
of characters and plot and getting like the actors that you really want to get that's like great you
know what i mean yeah it's they're not just not as invested in the quality of the content. Yeah. I mean, so they invest, they over-invested in streaming.
They like went too hard on streaming and now they have stopped developing like anything new.
Like they just cut it off.
And that's why like all these streaming companies are like,
you know,
you're starting to see the headlines that they're like pulling it back after over investing without really any
business plan of like how to make money off of that it was just so i i think there's like one
of the big things that happened is like there's no it's now controlled by like five big companies
like in the past hollywood had been had enough regulations in place to prevent just massive consolidation like we have now. And then slowly by slowly, like starting with Reagan and into like the Clinton administration.
Reagan.
Reagan. Yeah.
Wow. Famous breakdancer Reagan. was uh the president of the u.s from 80 to 88 and she came through and just deregulated like it's
just deregulation over and over until now there's like only a handful of companies and they're all
chasing each other and you know so like one of them has like decides to invest in streaming
and so they all like over invest in streaming and then there's
just not the small companies anymore who like when the big companies all do the same stupid thing
are there to like zag and like do the smart thing that then the big companies like impersonate and
like copy off of you know so now it's's just big guys making terrible decisions and making the same
terrible decision all at the same time. And nobody there to do the smart thing that creates the
market correction. And then the other really big problem is that private equity has gotten...
In 2008, when they were just basically printing money for free, private equity has gotten like in 2008 you know when they were just basically
printing money for free private equity got involved in hollywood and so now we have a
handful of like massive companies and they private equity money is involved so their instincts are
like private equity are these like massive companies and their model is like trying to
make money as quickly as possible they're just like extracting capital from these companies
that they're investing in or taking over and so it's their private equity equity they're just like
us yes yeah and it so i just feel like we have fewer people calling the shots and the people
calling the shots have just way worse instincts.
And this is how you get to the entertainment dark ages that we might be about to live through.
Which is a bummer because so many good movies.
I feel like there was a period of like the content that was coming out.
And yet and like I'm speaking from a place of like my personal taste yes but it's all
we can um but so my so many of the movies that came out have come out within the past like
and i'm speaking again also specifically about movies more so than tv but i guess what i'm saying
is no more tv more movies that's the platform that I'm running.
Flims.
Flims.
Four more Flims.
We've entered this period in the past couple years
where some really good, not major studio pictures,
things that are lower budget,
not based on comic books or any existing you know huge properties just like independent
low budget but like really well done movies are coming out because there was like i don't know
there was like five years where i'm like every movie i've seen this year sucks but within the
past couple years there's so much new good stuff and I would hate to see that all go away because Hollywood doesn't understand what people want.
Everyone should see Didi.
Everyone should see Kneecap.
Everyone should see other movies that have come out recently.
Good.
The end.
Thelma.
Okay.
Is that good?
Thelma?
I loved Thelma. I thought Is that good? Thelma? I loved Thelma.
I thought it was so fun.
And then like last year,
there were all these great movies,
Theater Camp,
Dix the Musical,
and also others.
Unless I have a list in front of me,
I never know what I'm talking about.
But obviously the beekeeper is on that list for sure.
The beekeeper fully in there. The Beekeeper is on that list for sure. The Beekeeper fully in there.
The Beekeeper.
Jason Statham, indie actor darling.
Yes.
I just watched Trap.
That sure doesn't make sense.
Oh, yeah.
But I'm a huge advocate of Indian mediocrity.
So I'm going to always support M. Night Shyamalan.
And his kids.
And his kids.
Because doesn't his daughter play Taylor Swift inlor he said yeah he said that she was his
niece in the movie but it sounds but it might be his kid it was fully just an album rollout for her
100 i will say i'm intrigued by that i want to see that yeah same trap it's such it's a trap
itself because i had really high hopes and was there anyone in your theater like trying to kill like kill people because i feel like no
well kind of because we went and jackie and i went and saw it and ryan from the boys the the kid
homelander's son in the boys was there with all of his friends like the actor who played oh wow
that kid but he wasn't trying to kill anyone. That's disappointing. It was a trap in that I thought it would be fun.
And then it was fun, but also very confusing.
One thing that I was going to say is like,
this is all like on a high studio.
Oh, there are these conglomerates deregulation level.
But for how that affects like us individually,
the fact that we can't pitch new shows,
but even beyond that,
I'm seeing more and
more huge celebrities in commercials that just nobody's like us should be in you know so yeah
day-to-day income used to be just everyday actors yeah it used to be just every i went into audition
and i saw somebody who i've seen for i don't remember his he's one of those people you see
him in everything you don't know his name he was also auditioning i'm like what are you doing here you're like a tv and movie
star let me sell my soul for this like why and you you see that with also like what they're willing
to take risks on and then the second thing i wanted to say was i saw a clip that jackie's
posted today of like matt damon explaining why you can't make the same
movies that you did in the 90s and it's because of streaming and how like they had the DVD released
and so they were able to get their income both from the box office and then the later DVD release
but now it's it's only it's very it's a lot less in theaters because people have the option of streaming, which I think is great and accessible.
But it just means that less money is invested into different types of films.
And there's fewer risks that are being taken or fewer incentives for people to bet on these movies that might not might not have big box office summer action film
fast and the furious 32 faster and furious or releases yeah they because it's they've been
taken over by corporations corporations always want to like eliminate risk as much as possible
which is impossible with art but up to this point we've had a bunch of federal regulations protecting
it from being the way it is like right now four companies control more than 75 percent of wga
writers earnings like there's four companies that control the whole thing like that there
were so many laws in place to keep that from happening. And now it's just these four companies who all when like one of them said we're going to do our launch our own streaming platform and like double down on content. They all did that. They created this like bloated thing that wasn't well thought through and like where they didn't know how they were going to get people to actually fucking watch the stuff that they were making.
And then when that failed predictably, now they're like, well, you know, the way that they're responding to that is like writers are no longer like they took away development pay.
It used to be a thing where like they would sign on a writer to develop a pitch that they had approved or that
they were interested in and like that writer would be on the payroll for however long it took to
develop it and now they've just like changed it so that writers have to do that all by themselves
like they don't get paid during the development process and so you imagine a pete buddha judge
like mckinley consultant
coming in and being like you have to play moms now you're too old yeah that's exactly what it is
down yeah consultant business person yeah i know writers who've like spent years developing
projects that like are you know have actors attached and like seem like they're gonna go and then never go and that person just
like worked for a year and didn't see like a single cent and it's just like that's the way
it's set up now it's like a really anti-worker situation that fucking sucks yeah yeah i have a
friend who has been working for a couple years on a script that's like a studio-backed superhero movie and has not been paid frequently enough or enough amount of money for all the work he has put in and i keep being like like can you can you
like how do you advocate for yourself like can you ask for money for the labor you're tirelessly
doing and he's just like uh yeah i'm trying but they don't want to pay and i'm just like what is this what is this world yeah that's wild because also
everybody is desperate and so there's always someone to replace you and that just that
feeling sucks yeah or like how during the writer's strike i forget which executive said that they were
essentially like trying to threaten us with homelessness yeah oh yeah which guy was that
which horrible monster it was either disney guy or uh zazz the zazz but yeah so the thing that
they're going to because the development process has too much quote-unquote like risk for these now like purely corporate entities that run 75 of hollywood
they're going to be even more reliant on ip which is going to make movies shittier like we we're
already seeing people be like like shazam 2 came out last year. Like that, I can't believe.
Speaking of libertarians.
That came out last year.
Right.
The same actor just dropped,
what's his name, Zach Levi?
Zachary Levi.
He's in Harold and the Purple Crown.
Yeah, Harold and the Purple Crown.
Another IP grab
from like a 1950s children's book but because you don't have to
like pay anyone whose idea that was they're just like i don't know let's just grab fucking
everything on our shelves and green light it the rubik's cube the movie like whatever you know
it's only okay when it's patented right Right. It's fine when it's patented.
And sometimes it works out.
It would be cool if it wasn't for those reasons.
If it wasn't to avoid paying
people.
Because then they could actually make a good movie.
Harold and the Purple Crown cost
$40 million on production.
Probably another
$40 million in
marketing it.
And it made made nine million globally like in its first week like it's just a complete and i could have told them if they had yeah
they had just asked me uh i could have told them that was going to happen and that money
that 40 million is not going to caitlin's friend who needs to get paid for their work it's going to
other people it's going to this already rich studio execs and shit like that yeah
but yeah i mean the there's a good article on harper's about this the author basically argues
that some kind of radical intervention either from the government or the workers will be necessary
to fix the problem but i think everybody you know everybody just lived through a really scary and
difficult strike and now it's like worse than it's ever been daniel besner is the name of the person
who wrote the harper's article so yeah but that's like i think i don't think people are quite
aware of what's going on outside of hollywood but like inside of hollywood
it's like no no new ideas are being like they're not even like responding to pitches anymore
they're just like that yeah we there are a handful of massive companies and they have
absolutely no appetite for risk aka like creativity or art whatever do, do not let this episode get back to my parents.
Do not let them know
that we are struggling.
We're doing fine.
We have a 401k.
We're so successful.
We have health insurance.
We're going to buy a house

people might enjoy on this fine Thursday morning? Yeah, I love when a singer has the ability to flow
like a rapper, but can also stack gorgeous harmonies over their tracks. And this song
goes even farther by having like these string arrangements and smooth guitars straight out of
