Starting point is 00:06:39 We might hit up some Wawa. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Well, Molly, you're back, and you've taken the world by storm with episode one of Heidi World, the Heidi Fleiss story. What's good? Let's kick it off there. What are you learning? What are you teaching us about Heidi Fleiss?
Starting point is 00:07:00 Episode one is out, and it is about kind of the 1970s in California and kind of sets up the whole story. Can I drop the bomb about her dad, who her dad delivered unto us? So her dad was like a famous kind of pediatrician from the valley. not the valley los feliz los feliz sorry sorry my bad he's not from here he's not from here you know he's not he's not anyone he's from i'm trying to offer him protection i feel that bad go back to wawa jack but uh he delivered leonardo dicaprio But he delivered Leonardo DiCaprio onto this world. It's true.
Starting point is 00:07:51 He delivered so many famous children and also non-famous children. Just everybody in the world has been hitting me up to be like, he was my pediatrician. That's so cool. He was my friend's pediatrician. Heidi Fleiss' dad was that pediatrician, huh? Was that dude? Yeah, and he worked out of this craftsman house on Hillhurst that was then a weird ice cream place pretty recently called Ample Hills. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:12 There's an amazing story about how that was like a scam, kind of. The ice cream company was like a VC scam. Oh, really? Kind of, yeah. Heidi World never ends, is what I've learned. Right. Is that there's never not a new thread to pursue in this story. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:31 I mean, what's dope about the show is it's a history of Los Angeles, and you just dig into so many cool threads that I would... There's not a human being alive or dead who I would rather hear tell that story. Oh, thank you, Jack. And then a distant second, Paul Thomas Anderson. Well, he's mentioned a lot of times on the podcast because he's made so many movies about the history of LA, basically, that a lot of things come on up and also go on down. We share a character with Licorice Pizza, John Peters,
Starting point is 00:09:11 who played by Bradley Cooper in Licorice Pizza and is played by John Daly in Heidi World. So get ready for the extended Los Angeles multiverse. The multiverse of madness. What did you think of? I the bradley cooper performance in licorice pizza should have been nominated yeah i thought it was great but you know what john daly's gonna beat him yeah john daly's gonna beat bradley cooper at being good at playing john peters there it is where's bradley cooper's uh red hot chili peppers joke bang that's right i think about that song the john daly red hot chili peppers parody song constantly because there's a
Starting point is 00:09:52 part where he goes shopping cart escalator good good good i think of good good good good good every time i hear that that's where the shopping cart escalator is. Glendale. Bradley Cooper should have won. My friend Max, who's also in the podcast, playing Yvonne Nagy, Max Silvestri, says Bradley Cooper is trying to win the award for the most acting.
Starting point is 00:10:19 So, we have John Peter played by John Daly doing even more. That's one of those performances that is detrimental to the movie because once it happens, all I can think about is when's he coming back?
Starting point is 00:10:34 I want more of that. Where the fuck is this guy? Everybody in Heidi world is like that. Everybody is a maniac. Every single one. Molly, let people know because I think a lot of people they know of Heidi Fleiss, the Hollywood madam probably ends right there if you're not super engaged with it or like, you know, more of a read like a big thing in L.A. for sure back then.
Starting point is 00:10:56 But like for people who, you know, know about L.A. and sort of vaguely know what what sort of like what are you going to pull out for them that is really going to, I guess, have them see something different about Los Angeles or this era? Yeah. I mean, I think it's just about how LA is such a small town and how people all know each other in these ways that you would not expect at all necessarily, which is what everything I like is like. A lot of it's kind of like Hal Ashby's shampoo is very much about that also. Just like, yeah, how L.A. is like, it seems very vast and sprawling, but it's actually, there's like just 10 people. And we all know each other. And Miles and I are two of them.
Starting point is 00:11:38 Right. And I am not. Yeah, but when you go to Philadelphia. Oh, shit. They throw you a parade. I've also never lived in Philly, so. Wow. I'm not. Yeah, but when you go to Philadelphia. Oh, shit. They throw you a parade. I've also never lived in Philly, so. Wow. I'm from nowhere.
Starting point is 00:11:48 But when you go, they're like, wow, we're going to do a special mummers parade just because Jack is here. Do you see like all the Philly stuff I'm pulling out? Yeah, mummers, everything. We're going to get a cheese steak. Get some water ice, too. Yeah. Oh, no, the other thing I was going to say, though, though is like it is true how small of a town it is i think molly between you and me and if you added somebody who went to crossroads i feel like
Starting point is 00:12:09 we could somehow triangulate any person in the country or like the fucking world almost like that small town then like the funniest kid at crossroads like the class kid at Crossroads, like the class clown at Crossroads becomes Jonah Hill. Like, you know, like that small town then fuels like massive global like pop culture. So, it's an interesting town. I think he went to Palisades. No, he went to Crossroads.
Starting point is 00:12:37 He went to Crossroads. Oh, was he Crossroads? Damn, look who knows stuff about LA now. It is Jack. It is Jack. It is me. All right, Molly, we're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First, we're going to tell our listeners a couple of things we're talking about today. Donald Trump, who was the president of the United States for four years, has endorsed Dr.z uh who's running for a public office so that that's
Starting point is 00:13:09 news because it makes the people on the right mad because dr oz doesn't have good credentials he doesn't he's not racist enough he's not racist enough he's just sort of racist and he doesn't know how to food shop also. He's not as blue collar as you might expect. We're going to talk about how Ted Lasso is George W. Bush as the current populace imagines him. We're going to talk about Sarah Palin running for Congress against Santa Claus. All of that, plenty more. But first, Molly, we like to ask our guests, we like to put them on the spot and ask,
Starting point is 00:13:51 what's something from your search history? I just saw the movie Bugsy. It's kind of all I can talk about is Barry Levinson's movie Bugsy. With Warren Beatty? Yeah, with Warren Beatty. So good. Saw it at the Los Pios 3 as part of a series about movies that show the Biltmore Pool. Wow.
Starting point is 00:14:10 I was looking up a lot of stuff about Bugsy, because there's a whole plot in the movie about how he wants to kill Mussolini personally. He keeps being like, I'm going to kill Mussolini. It's so funny. And so I looked it up, and that was 100% true. He did want to go kill Mussolini. He did have his own plot to kill mussolini he did have his own plot to kill mussolini by getting close to him and then he was kind of mad when somebody else killed mussolini wow the whole town took that honor away from him that's wild and he like the
Starting point is 00:14:38 main hook is that he built vegas or like kind of yeah he built the flamingo yeah but it actually because this is how my brain works it is uh very much a prequel to heidi world because it's very much about who runs vice in los angeles in the 1940s and uh heidi world is about who runs vice in los angeles in the 80s and 90s yeah yeah man okay bugs you go Bugs East. People are really getting this. I'm going to get my fucking hands on Mussolini. It's so funny. You got to see the movie. What was like, because I think, I remember when it came out, it was like 93 or something,
Starting point is 00:15:14 92 or something like that. 91. Oh, 91. Okay, so. It was also like prime Heidi World time. So it's also like of the era. It's a great movie. Right, right, right. That's a great movie. Right,
Starting point is 00:15:25 right, right. And I like, I remember everything going over my head. Cause I watched it as like a 10 year old. Because you had just seen Dick Tracy. Yeah. You're like,
Starting point is 00:15:35 Oh, is this the sequel to Dick Tracy? Kinda it is in a way. Yeah. Visually. But yeah, I mean like it's, it,
Starting point is 00:15:42 what was like, what was his whole, what was his, like, why was he so passionate about personally often listening? Because, I mean, like, it's, it, what was, like, what was his whole, what was his, like, why was he so passionate about personally offing Mussolini? Because he, because, uh, because he was an anti, because Mussolini was an anti-Semite. Right. And Bugsy was a Jew. They were Jewish gangsters.
Starting point is 00:15:56 So they were. And all the time was Meyer Lansky, like, in the cut being like, I'm good. Yeah, also Mickey Cohen, played by, I think it's Harvey Keitel in the movie. Mickey Cohen shows up in Heidi World, I think in episode two even, because we talk about the history of the Sunset Strip, which was completely mob run. And in Heidi World, in the 90s vice, who are some of the names that Heidi World kind of intertwines with that we would know from the 90s?
Starting point is 00:16:24 Oh, well. You'll see. Yeah, it's a lot, right? As we said earlier, yeah, it's, you know, Charlie Sheen shows up and Billy Idol. James Caan, played by Miles Gray here. Hey!
Starting point is 00:16:41 Jimmy Caan, baby! James Caan, baby! But yeah, also just a lot of people in L.A. politics who you may remember if you followed the O.J. Simpson trial at all. Yeah. Wow. I did. Your boy Gil Garcetti, who's a fail son mayor. Eric Garcetti's fail son father.
Starting point is 00:17:01 Fail father. Fail pops. Amazing. All kindsops. Amazing. All kinds of fun folks. What is something you think is overrated? Overrated. Man, I'm going to really get blowback for this, but queso. I really don't like queso.
Starting point is 00:17:19 Oh, just like the melted cheese? Like the Tex-Mex kind. Yeah, yeah. How come you don't like queso? I don't like the fake cheese. I don't like the melted cheese? Like the Tex-Mex kind. Yeah, yeah. Wait, how come you don't like queso? I don't like the fake cheese. I don't like the flavor of it. Oh. So do you like like jank can nachos?
Starting point is 00:17:32 No, not at all. Oh, so you're consistent with it. Like if it's fake cheese, you're off rampant. I'm off. Okay. I see. You're like cheese whiz? No.
Starting point is 00:17:41 You're like whiz on your... No. I'm just going to keep naming fake cheese. Give me a provela. I mean, I even got some like vegan cream cheese recently. That shit was whack. It was not good. I could not eat it.
Starting point is 00:17:55 I'm also like lactose intolerant, so I could really stand to use some fake cheese, but... Right. No, I will just... Overall, do you like i mean despite your intolerance for lactose do you eat cheese oh yeah i just do it i just do it and then feel bad okay yeah i got it so you got the nike guts you just you just do it and deal with it later yeah exactly i was talking with somebody somebody uh i know was i told them about jamie loftus's hot dog show
Starting point is 00:18:25 and they were like wow we have the opposite stomachs me and jamie loftus our stomachs are completely you're not downing gallons of milk and eating hot dogs no i would die if i ate what jamie eats in like one day, it would kill me. And I respect that so much about her. Cause I have on more than one occasion seen or interacted with her when she was dying from eating. I don't know. I was going to say maybe not for her either. There,
Starting point is 00:18:58 yeah, there are times you'd see her. It's like, I just drank like a gallon of milk. Yeah. She like shows up to a recording and it's just like, I just drank a gallon of milk last night. She shows up to a recording and is just like, oh. If I drank a gallon of milk and I showed up to this recording, it would be a recording of me throwing up a gallon of milk.
Starting point is 00:19:14 Oh, right. Just, yeah, endlessly. Although I did once see somebody throw up a gallon of milk that they chugged for a hazing in college for something. Yeah. College is fun. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah yeah and they said i think like the rowing team or something some girl in my dorm and had to chug a gallon of milk and then she
Starting point is 00:19:31 threw it all up and she was like you know what it's actually kind of fine to throw up milk it's like the so much better than throwing up alcohol it's not like acidic in the same way oh it's like a base yeah yeah it's basic coming back up yeah? Yeah. It's basic. It doesn't sting. It doesn't sting my throat. My throat neck. Now, Molly, surely you like the cheese filling of combos or the cheese filling in Lance cheese and crackers sandwiches, right?
Starting point is 00:19:56 No. We heard fake cheese. What about cheese and broccoli soup from Subway? Nah. Oh, man. I told you it's a hot hot tape okay we're gonna find some we'll find something speaking of the rowing team like having horrible hazing rituals miles you mentioned your friend like getting involved in one of the was this on the show or off mike where, where you're mentioning your friend being involved
Starting point is 00:20:25 in some whack secret society in LA? Oh, no. He was a Freemason. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You just call the Freemasons a whack secret society? That's why I just... I don't know this guy.
Starting point is 00:20:40 I don't know about it. Face down in a pool. Is that a Sunset Boulevard joke? High and low. There it is. But there is also, like, because I think with Danny, we were talking about, you know, the Masonic Temple in North Hollywood? Oh, yeah. Molly?
Starting point is 00:20:58 Of course. My friend joined that shit after high school because he was so, like, he's like, yo, bro, I got to go in there. I got to know what it's like he ended up joining them and then wouldn't tell me shit about like what that what was going on in there so i had a my freshman roommate in college had like joined the business frat which was not even like a real frat at our school and like didn't what was the same like had the same level of like you know just wouldn't wouldn't tell me shit and was like so serious and cloak and dagger about this shit i just think that's such a funny like phenomenon of like the rowing team and the business frat like
Starting point is 00:21:37 like what happens in the business frat doesn't say i gotta respect anyone about the podcasting secret society yeah obviously we have to fucking kill them we'd have to kill every single one of for it. Don't tell anyone about the Podcasting Secret Society. We'd have to fucking kill them. We'd have to kill every single one of our listeners and that would be very time consuming. Or else we'd have to play that special tone. Yeah. That puts everybody in a state of mind control.
Starting point is 00:21:59 But anyway, that's alleged. That's all alleged. Yeah, Super Producer Ana was saying it prepares you for Bohemian Grove. Oh, you know, you guys are going to send me and Jamie Loftus to Bohemian Grove, I decided. Just like as a... I mean, we might, yeah. Can you take some time off just to lay low? Just Molly and Jamie go to Bohemian Grove.
Starting point is 00:22:19 No, like right when Ana typed that, I was like, yeah, why is Molly not currently working on Bohemian Grove? Yeah, that's true. Jamie Loftus and I go to Bohemian Grove.

Andald trump is back baby and our mouths endorsing dr oz and this is a scandal on the right man bright bar is fired up they absolutely hate this uh you know he got oz got the coveted maga endorsement over the weekend and this has been a long relationship you know i remember in 2016 when when trump was running for president he went on the dr oz show and and they merely gestured at like a pile of papers and he's like and these are your medical records right oh wow strong to quite strong i would say okay next point and you know then he was on like the health council for the president all this other shit so now he has his MAGA
Starting point is 00:29:49 coronation and like you're saying despite the concerns over oz's general viability as a senate candidate trump made a very very good point to the people of because it's a pennsylvania senate race north carolina but yes anyway this is him talking up all the good things that dr oz does by the way i endorsed another person today dr oz in pennsylvania dr oz great guy good man good man harvard educated tremendous tremendous, tremendous career. And they liked him for a long time. That's like a poll. You know, when you're in television for 18 years, that's like a poll. That means people like you, but he's a, he's a great guy. This is the year we're going to take back the house. We're going to take back the Senate and we're
Starting point is 00:30:42 going to take back America. And in 2024, most importantly, we are going to take back the Senate and we're going to take back America. And in 2024, most importantly, we are going to. Yeah, blah, blah, blah. Take back the White House. So you heard it there. He went to he's Harvard educated. And we also see, again, very clearly how Trump's worldview is, what it's like, which is and he was on TV for 18 years. So that's like a whole. That's basically the same thing.
Starting point is 00:31:04 You feel me? You know what I mean? And, you know, I think that whatever, we don't need to speak to the business machinery of show business, but the GOP's reaction to this is a little bit different than that crowd of unenthusiastic or semi-enthusiastic people in the background of that Trump clip. By the way, just real quick, that sounded small compared to a Trump. That sounded like a normal rally of a politician. I mean, people have been saying, just visually,
Starting point is 00:31:33 the rallies don't look that big these days. Or in certain places, they're certainly small. I mean, we were talking about the one in Georgia a few weeks ago where it was like a fraction of what it was like a year before. I mean, a lot of people... I think this all plays into this fraction of what it was like a year before. I mean, a lot of people, you know, I think this all plays into this idea of what's actually happening with Trump's skill of picking candidates, because this pick has really had a lot of people on the
Starting point is 00:31:56 like hard MAGA side of things, like really, really upset with this decision because they're like, this guy, the guy who's like in like the hollywood lib who loves michelle obama's arms and is pro-choice and doesn't even live in pennsylvania that guy and they've been calling him romney 2.0 and they all see this as like a recipe for an election day beatdown because he's just not maga enough he's just picking other famous people yeah yes like and that shouldn't and that i don't think that should be surprising because MAGA enough. He's just picking other famous people. Yeah. And I don't think that should be surprising because in Trump's mind if you went to Harvard and you're
Starting point is 00:32:32 famous, what's stopping you from being the fucking king of the world? Right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And he hates anyone who's not famous. Let's be honest. Endorsing a politician who's not famous like let's be honest like it like endorsing a politician who's like not famous i think disgusts him a little bit like you like hear it in the way he talks about them
Starting point is 00:32:51 yeah i haven't really been keeping up with oz's story since he declared i know like when he declared he said you know we're gonna keep the show going and then it was actually they just like pulled the plug on the show and left every then it was actually, they just like pulled the plug on the show and left every employee who'd been working there for 13 years without a job. But I hadn't seen him food shopping. That's like, that's my favorite detail of the Oz campaign. He like went, so he went grocery shopping to make the point that Joe Biden is making things too expensive. But he just was so clueless about how food shopping works that it just made the opposite point. Rich people have no idea how much things...
Starting point is 00:33:36 It's like that thing, how much can milk cost? Like 50 cents? What could a banana cost? What did she say? $12? They just have no idea. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:46 So he says he goes, he has a little trusty videographer with him. He's in the produce section. He's like, you know, my wife asked me to like come here. Here, I'll just read word for word. Wait, I have the clip. You want me to play the clip? Oh, you do? Oh, hell yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:01 Let's do it. Let's just play the clip. I thought I was in grocery shopping. I'm at Wegner's. And my wife wants some vegetables for crudite, right? So here's a broccoli. First of all, this motherfucker said for crudite. For crudite.
Starting point is 00:34:16 You're having your boss over in 1987 for fucking dinner? What the fuck are you talking about? Not a ton of broccoli there. Here's a broccoli. That's $4. Sorry, just real quick. He picked up a single piece. I've never bought a tiny little thing of broccoli like that.
Starting point is 00:34:34 He's like, that's a ton of broccoli. That's for the crew to tag. Yeah. He says that's $2. He does not realize that produce is sold by the pound in this case and is doing the tabulation by, like he thinks, each unit is the price that it says next to it. He's like, oh my gosh. Okay, so now he's looking at bagged carrots. That's four more dollars.
Starting point is 00:35:01 That's $10 of vegetables there. More carrots than anyone has ever needed. Guacamole. That's $4 more. Okay, sir, that eaten. Guacamole. That's $4 more. Okay, sir. That is not guacamole. That is an abomination. Put that shit back. She loves salsa.
Starting point is 00:35:15 Fresh salsa. $6? Must be a shortage of salsa. Guys, that's $20 for crouton. This doesn't include the tequila. I mean, that's outrageous. Fuck out of here. Okay, hold up, hold up, hold up. He's blaming Joe Biden for grocery stores costing a lot? Yes, that was the whole point of that harebrained fucking junket at the shop
Starting point is 00:35:36 was to be like, Byron's really not got any of this shit under control. I can't even have crudite with my wife. There must be a salsa shortage or something six bucks that guacamole and salsa he pulled off the shelf that was violence yeah yeah that salsa i'd never seen something that was less salsa and that guacamole i'd never seen something be less are we talking about the kind where you have a single piece of broccoli, like 15 pounds of carrots, and then salsa. And the fucking grossest, thinnest, like, wood-pass-through-a-sieve guacamole that you've ever seen. Wait, hold on.
Starting point is 00:36:15 Y'all don't do crudités where you dip your raw asparagus into guacamole? I like to dip—I just like to dip a big broccoli into like some lukewarm water that's how it should be so he got this one broccoli that's two bucks he's making a satyr plate he also is the first person
Starting point is 00:36:37 to try to go food shopping in the first of all you don't just go to the grocery store for five things he's in the produce section he you don't just like go to the grocery store for five things but like he he's in the produce section he's like try filling up his hands he doesn't know that there's like baskets you can get presumably that he has never he's an alien walking in a world that he does not recognize yeah complaining about the prices it's wild because you know like that's that's how you
Starting point is 00:37:03 know again like the reason these people lose touch with what shit costs is because you know like that's that's how you know again like the reason these people lose touch with what shit costs is because you get to a point where you have so much money the cost of shit doesn't matter anymore like your income is far exceeds having to consider what the cost of anything is and you have like assistance and shit that just keep your shit full so you're like i don't know what the fuck anything costs, bro, because I can afford everything. And they just don't go to the store. Yeah. Right. They don't go to the store.
Starting point is 00:37:29 Yeah. I mean, yeah. You got to go to like, if you want to spot a celebrity like at a store, maybe you could go to the Gelson's on Laurel Canyon and Riverside. Potentially. I saw Laurie Metcalf there in 2002.
Starting point is 00:37:40 Right. If rich people shop for themselves, they go to Gelson's. It's true. Exactly. I saw Danzig once at Gelson's. It's true. Exactly. I saw Danzig once at Gelson's. You did? Yeah, it was amazing. So you could catch Laurie
Starting point is 00:37:52 Metcalf or Danzig. Danzig. These are the celebrities. Yeah. Or Jessica Simpson's ex-assistant that's now married to Donald Faison. Yeah. What's her name? Kaylee? Casey. Or something. That's not even counting the tequila, assistant that's now married to donald faze on yeah what's her name kaylee casey or something i think that's not even counting the tequila which this man clearly doesn't he's not drinking a lot
Starting point is 00:38:10 of tequila but there's like this profile of oz that i read like the new yorker did a profile of him like in the early days of his show's run and it was kind of approving it was like he he actually is like a good heart surgeon but it was also like you know he's just clearly super hyper focused on like becoming famous that's like the only thing he cares about but i remember specifically one of the details was that like he did not eat food he ate these like green like like solid nuggets of like vegetables and like protein that were like mixed together and he carried around in a like ziploc bag just because they were like hyper nutrients that would like get him through his day without like you know crashing because he was doing like 5 000 different things but he's he has not gone into a grocery
Starting point is 00:39:05 store and bought the same shit that he was picking up there in maybe no and also based off of that they should just run ads be like yo this guy can't even fucking party like he has tequila loose asparagus broccoli carrot sticks shit salsa and shit guacamole and it's a party at the oz house this is your senator that's ridiculous guys i mean yeah yeah it's a poor performance also not a good actor well i'm not buying that's what i mean that's the hard part is like all he had to do like was just say like complain like trump does but on tv and he's like that guy this guy's got it all he has to do is be like oh my god the prices are out of control. But I think this also speaks to the platform that a lot of the Trump selected can't like Senate candidates are like, because I just
Starting point is 00:39:52 have to play, I have to put our attention on Herschel Walker again, because this guy is beating Raphael Warnock in the polls in Georgia. And he has it. He, when he speaks, he says the most unintelligible shit. And I just want to give people, like, just to have an idea, he said this in terms of like what his, I don't know, I guess we're seeing what his grasp is on like energy policy in the United States. But I just want you to hear this.
Starting point is 00:40:18 Won this seat in that runoff race against Kelly Loeffler. As you know, top 10 lists of the most likely to flip in November. Tell us what changed in the last 14 months since Warnock won that seat. You know, what has changed is where do you start? You know, where do you start at? What has changed is, you know, we've got an administration that they're not leaders. They're almost they're weighted to they're almost uh they're they're waiting to they're more reactive rather than proactive and what i mean by that is you know
Starting point is 00:40:49 one of the first thing they did and i think people need to know this is they decided that they were going to give up all the energy by him going out giving up all the energy and now we're not energy independent anymore which started the whole downfall right now gas prices is going out of the roof okay i just wanted that's all i just want people here because we gave all our energy away you know and that and so i didn't please vote for me for senate where i will be deciding on things like your fucking human rights okay that was that was stated goal number one give up all the energy of the Biden administration. All right. Well, that's depressing that he's beating Warnock.
Starting point is 00:41:32 Well, I mean, and how can you blame him? You know, we're looking at people like we're looking at a Democratic Party that didn't do shit that they said they do. So it's like, uh. Yeah, he's not wrong about that. Based off what? Like, hello. All right. Let's take a quick break and we'll be right back i'm jess casaveto executive producer of the hit netflix documentary series dancing for the devil

This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts separated by two months. separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today.
Starting point is 00:43:16 And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of this right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground.

Starting point is 00:45:05 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.

Dream Sequence is a new horror thriller from Blumhouse Television, iHeartRadio, and Realm. Listen to Dream Sequence on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. And so there's this New York Times article over the weekend that was like, basically the point of it was like, man, it was fucking scary to have Donald Trump as the president of the United States of America. So it's, I think the title is something to the effect of like Trump was trying to pull a Putin when he, like with his maneuvering around
Starting point is 00:46:12 Ukraine. It's the advisor who has been like the primary Ukraine advisor on Fiona Hill, yeah, for multiple presidencies and just keeps getting ignored as she tells the presidents what to do. She recalls a good moment where, I'll just read a direct quote, this is the Trump thing before we move on to Bush. He'd see a picture of a leader that he liked, and he'd want it sent to them through the embassies. And when we'd read the articles, the articles are not flattering, they're quite critical obviously we can't send this but then he'd want to know if they'd gotten the picture in the article which he'd signed like for instance with macron emmanuel you look wonderful looking so strong
Starting point is 00:46:56 which is just amazing but the thing that caught my attention was they kick off the article with a brief anecdote where she tells Bush and Cheney that it's a bad move to welcome Ukraine into NATO. And then this happens. Cheney took umbrage at Hill's assessment. So you tell me you're opposed to freedom and democracy? He snapped. He abruptly gathered his materials, walked out of the the office and then he's just yanking your chain she remembers bush telling her go on with what you were saying now that doesn't like for some reason the thing that that made me think of like that is ted lasso that is a line from ted lasso like that couldn't be more like if dick cheney suddenly appeared in Ted Lasso. But like that, I feel like Ted Las all the things the the way that bush is like an energetic little puppy who can speak human words and give you fun nicknames and you like that's how people want to think of him now and you have to like push to get to the part where he's like actually a war criminal but like so i was recently attempting to watch ted lasso again i'm over two at this point but like he i i feel like that is what this is like he's he goes to like that
Starting point is 00:48:35 during the bush administration there was the character in love actually where i think it was billy bob thornton plays like a cowboy president who's like a fake tough guy who like goes and like tries to bully the UK prime minister. And then Hugh Grant is like the stand in for Tony Blair. And it's like wish fulfillment. He like tells George W. Bush to go fuck himself. Essentially, I feel like this is like trying to correct that wrong by like sending george w bush like the football coach over to charm the british and like win them over with like pluck and optimism and just like positivity but right so the article like the next part of that article
Starting point is 00:49:22 so the president's like ah he's just yanking your chain like go on with what you were saying like i'm i'm here to listen uh and even later in the thing she's like at least he was kind and polite and listened to me he just ignored the fuck out of everything i said but that so the very next part of that article is but the president seemed confident that he could win over the other nato leaders saying i like it when diplomacy's tough ignoring the advice of hill and the U.S. intelligence community, Bush announced in Bucharest that NATO should welcome Georgia and Ukraine into the membership action plan.
Starting point is 00:49:52 Hill's prediction came true. Everybody was fucking furious. NATO ultimately issued a compromise declaration about how both countries would become members, and that still hasn't happened and being vague where it's like well we don't we're not going to say when but like just trying to both sides
Starting point is 00:50:11 the thing where like it didn't even have to go down this road right but just as she feared and this is late uh skipping to a couple sentences as she feared the carrot dangled by bush to two countries each of which gained independence in the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, did not sell so well with Putin. Four months after the 2008 NATO summit, Russian troops crossed the border and launched an attack on the South Ossetia region of Georgia. Though the war lasted only five days, Russian military presence would continue in nearly 20 percent of Georgia's territories. After the West's weak pushback against his aggression. Putin then set his sight on Ukraine. So it's like Bush has this, you know, just unsinkable, you know, we're just going to spread democracy. We're going to get over there. Fuck what the analysts say. You know, like that's that's just negative thinking. That's the you miss 100 percent of the shots you don't take. And that's this is where it lands. Right.
Starting point is 00:51:14 Well, you know, it's like it's like we're going to spread democracy. But, you know, I'm going to get more people to buy arms by doing shit like this, you know, getting inflammatory. And then I hook the homies up with the defense contracts. But, yeah, man, I love diplomacy, man. It's right. It's so hard yeah uh i mean yeah we all do look at him as like our eccentric like painter uncle now like like it seems like so many like the when people talk about him like on mainstream television it's just like oh look at george as soon as Trump became president, people started being like, hey, remember the other dumb guy? He was a different kind of dumb that we somehow like better now. And guess what?
Starting point is 00:51:53 No, he wasn't. He's a fucking idiot also. Right. Very useful one. Scarier in some ways because he had that kind of like harmless. People thought he was harmless in this weird way right but meanwhile like darth vader's giving him a neck rub in the oval office i mean he's like a dummy he's a dummy and uh clearly dick cheney was the real president right but you know what dick cheney's probably still the real president so
Starting point is 00:52:20 well that's the thing that's why i've always kind of been like man i feel like dick cheney's scariest motherfucker out of all of them but i'm like why why are they how come he's not stepping in to protect his daughter the gop is just fucking crip walking all over her and i thought he'd be like he'd be like nobody's doing that to my list no he doesn't give a fuck yeah i know he's just like i already got mine fuck yeah dick cheney cares about one thing and that is dick cheney yeah it's like let me shoot a guy and be out of here. Yeah. But, I mean, comparing the type of horrible president dipshit between Trump and Bush, like, I feel like there's no way Trump could have gotten away with starting a war with, like, no actual intelligence there, both because of his inability to, to like be friendly with the intelligence community but also just because there's yeah like you said bush has that had that like demeanor of like
Starting point is 00:53:14 harmlessness and you know just people giving him the benefit yeah aw shucks and he was like kind of the perfect front for a truly sinister, openly sinister Dick Cheney to like, you know, do some wild, awful shit. Anyways, this is where Ted Lasso needs to go as a plot. We need to see that he his actions have consequences and we need to see him cause the deaths of lots of people. In my opinion, I think that it's the only way to redeem the show personally. Well, you know,
Starting point is 00:53:54 do you watch that show? Well, we'll stay wishful. I watched the first season. No, I don't. I don't watch the show. I was like,
Starting point is 00:54:00 I mean, I guess it was, it's easy to watch because it's so like pleasant, but I'm too fucked up and cynical as a easy to watch because it's so like pleasant but i'm too fucked up and cynical as a person to watch that shit and get entertained you know what i mean like yeah yeah there's a there's a darkness of like that is isn't present enough for me to keep staying engaged i need i need my comedy is a little mean i think yeah that's what it is right right i'm a reformed bully it's not like really it's just yeah. I'm a reformed bully. It's not really.
Starting point is 00:54:30 It's just, yeah, when comedy is too nice, it's too gentle, I don't find it funny then. Yeah, but again, I think that's the difference. It's like, I don't watch it. I'm like, I'm having a terrible time watching this. It just doesn't quite, you know, resonate with what I think or what makes me laugh out loud. But I mean, I watched it mostly because I like football, didn't I? You know what? It's also, whatever you think about the mean, I watched it mostly because I like football, didn't I? You know what? It's also... I like football, didn't I? Whatever you think about the show,
Starting point is 00:54:47 I really haven't seen the show. It has the most annoying fans on Twitter of anybody. Yeah. The Ted Lasso fans are so mean. It's actually kind of hilarious. A friend of mine wrote like a not... not even a slam of the show, just a like, hey, it's good, but maybe it's not
Starting point is 00:55:06 going to make people nice. You know? Right. And the fans were like, fucking kill yourself, bitch. You stupid bitch. How dare you say this about Ted Lasso? It was crazy. Their bio
Starting point is 00:55:24 are all like Ted Lasso quotes about being kind. Yeah, it's just fucking insane. Wow. Alright. Should we catch up with Sarah Palin? This has been a very right-wing, heavy episode. It's 2005 again, turns out.
Starting point is 00:55:39 Yeah, fuck. I mean, this is, you know, it's not, it's more just an interesting face-off of people. Yeah, I don't know who I'm pulling for here, to be honest with you. Everyone sticks around forever. Yeah. So, on the one hand, we have Sarah Palin. And on the other hand, we have somebody named Santa Claus.
Starting point is 00:56:00 Yeah. So, this is for a, is this right? This is Alaska's one house seat. How does Alaska only have one house seat? Because it's just so big. I think probably relative to the population. Damn. It's the biggest state by far. But anyways, Alaska's house seat. Because it's at large, right? Yeah, it was held by the same dude since 1973. Don Young. He was in the process of running for re-election, passed away in March, Don Young.
Starting point is 00:56:32 And so there's going to be an open primary vote in June where Alaskans can vote for any candidate across parties, and the top four will then run off. Any candidate across parties in the top four will then run off. And just immediately, everybody started lining up. One candidate was good friends with the guy who died. And he was like, I'm really heartbroken by the timeline. On the other hand, vote for me. I've been waiting for this moment for my whole life. And he's also consoling his widow and shit at the fucking funeral. He's like, oh, I'm so
Starting point is 00:57:07 heartbroken, girl. So you free later tonight? But one of the candidates is Sarah Palin. But another one is an independent Bernie guy, literally named Santa Claus. Wow. What? Happens to be a city councilor in North Pole,
Starting point is 00:57:24 Alaska. He won that role with 58 votes because that's how small North Pole, Alaska is. But he's literally a dude who looks like Santa Claus. He's the real Santa Claus. Changed his name to Santa Claus, presumably after pushing Tim Allen off a roof. Yeah, as you do. Yeah. You know what's crazy is yesterday, I know it's not anywhere near Christmas,
Starting point is 00:57:47 but yesterday it just occurred to me for the first time, does Santa mean saint and he's Saint Claus? Right. Yeah, I think it's something like that. But then who's Saint Nick? He's Saint Nick. But I think he's been telling us all along how fucking cool he is and it's a cipher for Satan, right?
Starting point is 00:58:08 Oh, yeah, of course. Oh, right. Sure. Oh, yeah, I remember that church lady bit. It's also, it's like, you would think the devil would live somewhere hot. Yeah. But the devil's always got tricks. And below.
Starting point is 00:58:24 That's right. This motherfucker on the North Pole. Below zero. Life below zero. The show, Alaskan prepper show I've been watching to fall asleep every night for months.
