Starting point is 00:05:05 Or could you imagine just so unstable? Just like, you're like, fuck, I should have sawed the heels down and you're just super wobbly. He looked so unstable. As I mentioned, he looked like he was walking on chalkboard erasers. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:18 I don't know why that's what it looked like to me, but I am correct. Watch him walk across the stage in his weird lifted boots.

Starting point is 00:07:22 that's mostly empty but I just forgot about three notebooks uh and one of those usb three receipts yeah yeah exactly so many receipts god i have a life alert to my pocket are you a dude i'm is that just like is that like a shared illness that like het dudes have is like pockets on receipt all the time i have have so many. I don't know why I can't ditch a receipt. It's fucking weird. Her Majesty's always like, what the fuck is with all these receipts?
Starting point is 00:07:50 And I'm like, I might need it. I don't know when you're going to need it. The parking things. Yeah. Oh, those? You want to see one right now? Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:00 I got a receipt right here. I do money phone with those parking receipts with the parking lot tickets. I do a money phone with them. Oh, with the parking lot tickets I do a money phone with them I pretend to be on the phone with them this is from LAX when I picked up the Geist Child and Her Majesty like two weeks ago
Starting point is 00:08:16 here's why I keep doing it you give a dog a cookie it'll keep coming back where once I went to Trader Joe's lost the real ticket to get out of the parking lot yeah used an old ticket from months before one of the many that i just have in my door and i put it in enough times that the thing was just like just let him out and it's just the thing opens so oh that happened nine years ago and now i still hold all of them in my car constantly. You can do that, though.
Starting point is 00:08:46 Sometimes you can just hit the button and be like, sorry, it won't let me out and hold up the old thing. And they'll be like, all right, we feel sorry for you. Mine is like, I wish there was something practical. I think it's leftover stress from when my dad got audited in 1994. Oh, my God. leftover stress from when my dad got audited in 1994 and oh my god like it basically destroyed my family because he was like i gotta find all this paper because nothing was digital and shit and it was like all these boxes i remember being so hot in the garage trying to help my dad find shit and it was always like you guys gotta keep your paperwork gotta have your paperwork
Starting point is 00:09:20 paperwork but i'm like keeping paperwork like for again a trader joe's bag salad or some shit uh help me oh my god it's some hoarder the parking authority is gonna audit you and you'll be right yeah anyway yeah man here we are anyways here we are we are a group of mentally ill middle-aged men. On our way out. Oh, but you know what's wild? Shout out my niece, who's sick or about to turn seven. She fucking loves receipts. Oh, really?
Starting point is 00:09:55 There's a lot of data on there. I know. She likes to be looking at it. It's so wild because my brother-in-law was like, hey, if you got receipts, man, she'll take them. And I was like, what? For real? Is this a joke? She's going to have to pay for them. Yo, the one she's like oh fuck yeah look at this motherfucker right here i think it like helps you feel like you're buying shit or something like as
Starting point is 00:10:14 a kid you're like oh yeah i can't get these on my own feel powerful yeah yeah the cvs receipt is the it's the moby dick of receipts yeah just like you know that's why everyone just takes things and walks out yeah it's because of the receipt do you is cbs and pharmacies bad uh but i didn't use the right grammar there is cbs and pharmacies bad in los angeles also because there's nothing on the shelf in philadelphia by question i am i infer this is that in philadelphia there's nothing on the shelves like they stopped trying to stop people from stealing so there's just nothing on the shelves at any cvs or rite aid in philadelphia like they have no inventory of anything and in boston it's the same way like but i was wondering if it's the same way in
Starting point is 00:11:05 la anecdotally no i've noticed increasingly just everything's behind plastic yeah yeah i think that's why yeah they have the big plastic boxes and i'm like for fucking eye drops for real i'm like bro my eyes are just okay sorry can i get a manager to give me fucking regular ass eye drops these things are infected but yeah look at these things they are crusted the fuck over help me i can't even see bro i can't even open my eyes help me so everything in the at the philly ones is just like behind the counter or if there's anything there actually is not there's it sounds like I'm being hyperbolic which I never do but um I am being dead serious there is just nothing on the shelves so they've been closing I read a story that was happening nationally but I
Starting point is 00:11:56 was wondering if it was one of these stories where people are just complaining about cities and it's not a real actual thing but it is real in philly and it's the same thing in boston i've heard as well but i guess la new york seems like they have a good hand are they trying to do like is it because like the mentality is like well if you guys are gonna steal then you can't even have anything then like that's sort of the attitude doesn't sound profitable yeah no no they've been closing a lot of stores have been closing at like a very high rate apparently so i don't know if it was a thing of like hey let's just trust that the people won't steal right but we're stealing this is so it's a while because we were just talking about this
Starting point is 00:12:37 story how target was crying crime wave as they closed stores in new york and san francisco and then the data was like well these aren't even the stores that are getting stolen from the most. And also the numbers you're claiming it's affecting aren't really adding up for you to say you have to close a store, which again always feels like the retail lobbying efforts to be like, we need more cops.
Starting point is 00:13:01 How about more cop money? That's what, it does seem there is some sort of direct line between nothing being on the shelves in a CVS and then somehow also giving cops more money. No, no, that's what I mean. Yeah, if you didn't know any better, you'd go in there and you'd be like, what the fuck's going on?
Starting point is 00:13:17 Oh my God, I went into CVS and the theft is so rampant that there is, we need law and order. And I wonder, is it because Krasner is still the DA that there is we need law and order and i wonder is it because krasner's still the da over there oh no yeah oh is he still he might be he might be i voted for him yeah i think he got it this is all yeah despite my best efforts this is all very scientific yeah this is all very yeah like hey what is it still krasner over there because they don't like him they don't like him.
Starting point is 00:13:47 They don't like him, the cops. All right, Blake, we're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. That's fine. First, we're going to tell our listeners a couple of the things that we're talking about today. A Democrat is finally calling for a ceasefire. Oh, wait, not really. Senator Dick Durbin accidentally seemed to call for a ceasefire and then walked it back. But we'll talk about just generally Biden ignoring the slaughter in Gaza and where we're at with regards to his polling in the presidential race. Airbnb.
Starting point is 00:14:21 There's just like a steady drumbeat of Airbnb horror stories. So we'll look at that. We'll look at DiGiorno making a Thanksgiving pizza for some reason. Seattle has come up with a wacky new policy where the police aren't allowed to lie. All right. For some reason. Well, I hope you guys like empty pharmacies. That's true.
Starting point is 00:14:44 If the police can't lie only thing that's right yeah enjoy that seattle yeah yeah you're gonna have to go to the tri-cities to get your afrin now that's right good luck finding a single use umbrella seattle single single use disposable Yeah. It's actually not waterproof. No, it's water resistant. It's about 50 minutes of water resistance before it absolutely just goes hollow on you. It's made of newspaper. Right, right.
Starting point is 00:15:18 Yeah. Before we get to any of it, Blake, we do, of course course like to ask our guests, even you, what is something from your search history? Swordfish internal temperature. I am trying to eat more fish. You have a sick swordfish at home?
Starting point is 00:15:39 Take your temperature, babe. Okay, open up. His nose was running, which has been a massive pain in the ass because it is a huge nose that that thing has. A huge nose, yeah. It's one of the biggest nose runs. I was impaled 14 times last night. He keeps sticking me, that little son of a bitch. And all I do, I'm just trying to care for him.
Starting point is 00:15:59 And it's also, you know, the sea, their temperatures are rising. Therefore, my swordfish's temperatures are rising. Sympathetic, yeah. Of course. Sympathetic swordfish, their temperatures are rising. Yeah. The swordfish are trying to find the police. And you know, 90% of your money that you pay for swordfish at Whole Foods does go to the fraternal order of police.
Starting point is 00:16:20 And that's... And that's just facts. Yeah. And I do demand the sword also when they hand me like this wait where's the sword yeah i'm like what i start looking okay i got where is it yeah the the butcher has it in his belt in a sheath but yeah i'm trying to eat more like fish steaks and it's new to me and uh like it's a swordfish steak so i wasn't aware by the way i i know a lot of people know this this is very new
Starting point is 00:16:55 to me where that like a steak like a beef steak you can cook swordfish to different temperatures so yeah and just in my mind, I'm like, Oh, can you do that with all meat? Or can you get violently? My biggest fear in the world is getting violently ill from eating food. That's fair.
Starting point is 00:17:14 Yeah. Thank you. So from eating undercooked raw meats, someone told me that you can get sick from doing that. There's a pathogen. I believe it was Pat. Yeah, it was Patty pathogens. And she told me a pathogen i believe it was pat yeah it was patty
Starting point is 00:17:25 pathogens and um she told me yeah i believe it's 130 135 which is like more medium rare and then i mean above that it just becomes like a brick but that's what i was looking for yeah and it's good i was not aware because yeah every piece of swordfish I've ever had is tastes like and I'm not don't think that I only have one reference to make but it tastes like I'm cutting into a chalkboard eraser. Fuck.
Starting point is 00:17:55 Why does he keep talking about chalkboard eraser? I'm sorry. Check his temperature really quick. Did you get in trouble a lot? Detention in school? It just keeps coming do kids still have to do that shit i'll show them one day what era did you grow up in yeah the but they yeah they're always so dry i did i did not realize that that was because i was just
Starting point is 00:18:20 like grilling it to like extra hockey puck level. Right. Yeah. Which I'm sure it still can be good. Wait, Blake, you're like, I'm trying to eat more like steaks that are like fish.
Starting point is 00:18:31 You like, that sort of sounded like you're a guy who can only eat like beef steaks. And you're like, I don't know if there's another, there's a fish steak. Then I'll try it. Now give me that a one sauce. Like, yeah,
Starting point is 00:18:42 I just have no, no perspective. I've never traveled. Yeah just have no perspective. I've never traveled. Ocean steaks. Is this a sushi steak? I go to the movies. I order popcorn steak. No, just make it congeal into one thing. I can't have multiple
Starting point is 00:18:58 things. Pasta steak. Lasagna is like pasta steak. That's fair. Lasagna is pasta steak. The steak of pasta. Wait Yeah, that's fair. Lasagna is pasta steak, yeah. The steak of pasta. Yes. Wait, then what's it?
Starting point is 00:19:08 Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah. We don't have to explore that. It's like, man, we can take this on. Is it though? No, poke holes. Poke holes in that statement. No, I won't.
Starting point is 00:19:21 Not like you're sick swordfish. We're going to take a little while to do some diagramming, and then we'll come back with some gotcha questions at the end. That's perfect. Hey, Blake, why don't you tell us something that you think is overrated? Yeah, tough guy. I had here written down the heat, and I'm like, are we talking about Pat Riley? But of course not.
Starting point is 00:19:40 I'm talking about the heat in your house, not i'm talking about the heat in your house where i for years thought that heat cost about four dollars and fifty cents per minute to run so i was like in gas money uh on your gas bill so and i lived in la for forever so i would never i would be like let's just throw on sweatshirts or a coat and then i started living with my now wife and she was like this isn't the right way to live and so then i started turning it on you're also living on the east coast like in in it was 30 degrees this morning different temperatures yeah correct and when we turn it on if you haven't used the heat in a while there's generally a lot of like dust and i don't know mouse bones in there and i'm allergic to some of that so allergic to mouse like i don't yeah i'm it's not mice is a full you know out of the garage
Starting point is 00:20:33 mouse it's fine but it's been smoked a whole mouse this morning i did yeah we this is came right off the bone and a full mouse and yeah no um it generally gives me allergies so i just think it's over i like to bundle up i prefer a blanket and like a nice comfy hoodie in home yeah i do and which yeah and i'm right i was about to say i realized that's strange it's not strange it's blake will you do me a favor go ahead right now wait yeah i'm right okay is the heat on right now at your place no no it can't be um and you said it was 30 degrees this morning yeah but it's gone up to about 49 okay can you will you touch the tip of your nose and tell me if that's warm or cold right now i can't feel it i can't even tell it just broke off
Starting point is 00:21:21 that's like a snowman that's always when i know the house is too cold is when the tip of my nose I can't even tell if I'm feeling it right. It just broke off. Oh, yeah. Fuck. That's like a snowman. That's always when I know the house is too cold is when the tip of my nose gets cold. I'm like, no, let me, I don't need to have all this shit on. But it's funny. As someone who loves to wear like warm, like cold weather clothing, just for some reason, I get in my house, I'm like, do I need to wear a parka on my couch? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:21:48 But hey,'s their own when i when i was a kid we i but we grew up like never wanted for anything you know grew up my dad had a good job and i'm saying this because of what i'm about to say we know hey take those silver spoons out of your mouth real quick i can't hear you i can't they're actually uh welded to my teeth my teeth instead of fillings i have silver spoons melted down and we just i slept like in the converted attic which had air conditioning but no heat so when i would come home from college winter break i would sleep in a coat and uh you know what that's probably why i don't give a shit about heat because i did it when i was young i was able to sleep in a coat why can't the woman i love more than anything on earth suffer along with me yeah no she'll figure your parents didn't tell many people about you huh they just kind of kept you up in that
Starting point is 00:22:36 attic no no and didn't want anybody to know yeah it was they wouldn't come up until my plates started piling up outside the door that they would feed me. Yeah. A little slot. Or if we had company over and they would blindfold me and give me my happy juice. Yes, yes. And I met the broom once. The broom that they'd use to hit the ceiling and say, sorry, we have rats every time I'd sneeze or something.
Starting point is 00:23:04 I said, we have rats! I said the mice bones are rattling again up there! Hence your mice bone. Who turned on the heat? You got allergic to mice bones because they were your only friends for so long. They were.
Starting point is 00:23:23 That doesn't really make sense from a physiological standpoint. It's fine. No, it does. It does in the mental state. And also, if I'd break a bone trying to escape, I would make a splint out of their bones. Yeah. Too weird?

It only took 9000 deaths for a Democratic politician to actually call for a ceasefire. Ataza it only took 9 000 deaths for a democratic politician to actually call for a ceasefire at least someone in the more mainstream the the progressives in the mainstream yeah but he was just asked on cnn if it was time for a ceasefire and he responded i think it is and everyone was like holy shit shit. Yes. Fuck yeah. But it only seems like a big deal because Biden won't use any stronger language than the word pause.
Starting point is 00:29:31 Yeah. Which, of course, implies resume. It's going to keep going afterwards. Yeah. Not stop. A brief pause followed immediately by resumption. by resumption. I like this quote from The Hill where Biden on Wednesday suggested a pause in fighting was needed to get
Starting point is 00:29:48 the prisoners out in response to a heckler who asked him to call for a ceasefire. So that's how hard the mainstream media is hitting it, that a heckler has to intervene to get him to comment on this. This is mainstream media. Did you see the clip of Anderson Cooper being
Starting point is 00:30:04 like... are they were are they actually referring to the rabbi who yelled who like interrupted him because that's a little wild that's because i know there's a rabbi like definitely interjected and got and was like calling for a ceasefire and that is so wild that they would just reduce this to a fucking heckler wow okay anti-semitic heckler yeah i'm sorry wasn't he a rabbi yeah he was over served yeah yeah some drunk wandered in off the street dude you gotta see his crowd work shorts on youtube i love it it went viral but yeah then durbin basically walked it back, clarifying that he only believes in a ceasefire
Starting point is 00:30:47 in certain circumstances, such as the release of those who have been kidnapped, and an indication that this is a good faith effort on the part of the other side, which just, it sounds like he's just like wandering off, muttering to himself at the end of that statement. And, you know, good faith on
Starting point is 00:31:03 both side and the other side, and so forth and so on. Well, yeah, good faith on both side and the other side and so forth and so on. Well, yeah, I mean, people are saying, when will the Palestinian airstrikes stop? You know? Right. When will Palestine stop with their nonstop bombardment? But, yeah, okay, Dick Derb.
Starting point is 00:31:22 Cool, cool, cool. Dicky Derbs. I like it when like yeah yeah i think so all right let me just move on is that just enough for the right take yeah wow brave finally we have a leader on the progressive side yeah who said i think i think the eloquent yes yeah yeah i think anyway encouraging maybe yes yeah perhaps. But it's just I don't know. A lot of people are pointing to the fact that Biden's numbers are cratering possibly because rfk jr taking so much of of the republican vote or you know in some polling people think that he's going to make it so that biden can still squeak out a victory against trump because so many of the mega people are anti-vaxxers and trump did vaccine he did the
Starting point is 00:32:24 vaccine he did the vaccine so he made it i'm gonna start using some dark arts shit in this election and just be like trump's a vaxxer man he's in league with fauci don't you know what do you think our audience whatever it takes you know he committed vaccine he committed the vaccine the ultimate crime he violated my vaccine rights but yeah i mean this is like this is kind of the thing with the with the democrats right there there's always something that helps them not follow through on the things they promise voters right and because right and like the mag we've said this all the time the maga phase of the gop has been a fucking blessing to democrats because we said their whole platform is just saying, well, we're not them at least. Now give us vote. Okay. We're not them. We're just,
Starting point is 00:33:10 just, we dress better and we use actual words from the dictionary consistently most of the time. Um, and like you said, yeah, the, the polling's been like really going downhill with younger voters and Arab Americans. And this isn't an, this is not an insignificant number of voters. Like young, young voters have especially helped Joe Biden and the Democrats claim numerous victories over the last couple of cycles. And like, you know, you're like, well, what can he do to stop this besides actually stopping the siege? Is there anything else Joe Biden could possibly do without listening to the numerous pleas
Starting point is 00:33:48 of many people in the country and around the world? He recently touted like an office that would look into like Islamophobia in America. But considering the rhetoric that's coming out of the White House, it feels very Kente cloth in the rotunda in the summer of 2020, AKA just an optics play, like no substance behind it. Like, why don't you listen to the people who are telling you if you're so concerned with Islamophobia, let's actually let's wrestle with that and look at that through the lens of American foreign policy.
Starting point is 00:34:17 He's like, yeah, here's here's a thing that check out this PDF. And now RFK. We're going to first thing we're going to look into is what does it mean? What does it mean? Islamophobia. Yeah. Is that even a thing? And who doesn't?
Starting point is 00:34:29 Is that a word that you guys just made up? I don't know. I don't know. We'll see. And, you know, like with RFK, some polls say that it could open up a three-point gap. Others are saying it could be a seven-point gap because that's how much RFK Jr. could siphon off from the Republicans. But obviously, these are just like snapshots in time. They're no way are going to ultimately reflect the final outcome since it's so early but this is the kind of shit that helps democrats think they can get away with like their
Starting point is 00:34:53 mirage like campaigning tactics or they're like well hey i mean even if even if we're losing arab american support and a huge chunk of younger voters this if rfk enters that's going to eat in that could open up a seven point gap maybe that's gonna be the and right now i feel like we're getting even more talk about mike johnson who is the new speaker and he's getting a lot of coverage and rightly so he has a lot of power he is violently homophobic he is like anti-choice. Recently, it was revealed he has no bank accounts. When he's looking at his financial disclosure... That's just smart, Miles.
Starting point is 00:35:30 Miles, that's just smart. Where do you keep your money? You're going to lend it to the bank where you can't even see it? I have an extra oven that isn't plugged in. Thank you. Surprise, surprise. Now I'm talking to a smart person yeah surprisingly
Starting point is 00:35:46 the guy with all the receipts believes in bank accounts though uh how but like like a lot of people are saying like either this guy is hiding shit and trying to be deceptive or they're like you are hiding a child like johnson that's another one, where they said he had a shady adopted kid that I'm not going to cast dispersions quite yet. I'm going to look into that a little bit more. But he has a Matt Gaetz type. I adopted this person many years ago and I'm like, who is this? But anyway,
Starting point is 00:36:16 it could also mean that he's just terrible with his money also because he's in a lot of debt it looks like. So who knows? But a lot of the coverage... He's coverage never heard of a bank account yeah truly they're like bro what are you doing he's like where do you where do you put it i can answer your questions what are you talking about yeah what is a bank account what is that do you want me to throw me a bone here yeah i i don't know but like the like a lot of the coverage and discussion, especially with Mike Johnson, is in the context of these people are so fucking craving they should not be in power.
Starting point is 00:36:53 This is what's going to happen if you don't support Joe Biden. And again, we understand. I understand what you're saying. These are the people that are also running for office or trying to ultimately control the government, but it excuses the lack of conviction, especially the democratic party has when it comes to its own commitment to progressive reform. And at this point, how are you going to blame people for feeling like it's all bullshit? Like you're getting hammered into people. Oh, don't talk about, don't do it. Why are you tearing down Biden? Like, why aren't you saying the economy's good? Because if you don't, they're like, if you don't put your values aside to keep the status quo, you are bad.
Starting point is 00:37:32 And it's, you know, who's not bad. It's not the people that have the power to materially change this shit. It's you. And it's, it's giving, it's the same dynamic that is used to frame consumers as the drivers of climate change and not governors or governments and multinational corporations. Like, it's like, who's, I'm sorry. You're a fool? You're not allowed to say anything bad. Yeah. You got the mandate, you're in office and now you're going to be like, well, I don't know. Can you do this? Can you? No, no. And I think that's like a huge, I think we're at a really
Starting point is 00:38:03 interesting crossroads right now because like we were saying, I think in yesterday's episode, this dusty propaganda playbook is not working like it used to. And talking about the economy and like the macro economic sense isn't good enough for people, especially people who are coming of age, entering the workforce and have their own dreams of you know being able to afford a place to live i mean let alone home ownership but all these other things so yeah it's just very like they have a lot of easy outs to sort of obscure the lack of real shit that has been going on lack of real progress that's being made at least the shit that was promised to people on the campaign trail right yeah and again it's there's always this tone that like you're being childish if you're idealistic or pushing back and just being like that it's the childish thing to not just like play political hardball and listen to the political theorists about what we should be you know what's what's the smart sane like by the
Starting point is 00:39:06 books thing to be doing it's like yeah but that you're using that you're weaponizing that logic which has made sense does make sense nobody wants trump to be the president but you're using that logic weaponizing it against us so that's on you that's on you for like if if biden doesn't get nominated because you keep weaponizing the shit then like that's on you that's that's just how politics work yeah it's like the same thing it's like with cops right you're like what's your track record again oh wow right not great and what now what is this now? You need more money? And with the Democrats, how long have you had to codify Roe v. Wade? How long? But you decided to fucking play, you want to play keep away, hot potato with it.
Starting point is 00:39:54 And people's lives are hanging in the balance. And at a certain point, you have to be like, that is actually the craven shit. Not me saying I'm envisioning a better way for things to operate or for people to have a some better semblance of a of a positive looking life. So, you know, this is I think this is just going to continue, like with Democrats and consultants kind of scratching their heads is like polling goes down like, but the economy, did they see that the GDP went up? I'm sorry. Yeah yeah how can you sell that to somebody not connected can you sell that to somebody who is living in poverty or is like you know like someone who's like classified as like the working unhoused because we have plenty of people like that i think they give a fuck about that it's not going to move the needle and i so everyone's speaking different sort of languages
Starting point is 00:40:46 to try and argue against or for a certain candidate but like they're really missing the essential truths that people are experiencing and witnessing on their day-to-day lives right which is what a lot of those essential truths are the thing that is like powering the movement in the first place yeah you know like that's not coming from nowhere the like fact that this racism and like you know escapism is so popular is not coming from nowhere yeah but hey the gdp went up no the gdp which we can all have a firm grasp on it affects us in our daily life whenever i walk down the street the gdp is holding my hand in front not not ancient home yeah i know not at all i think it's a such a good point about the maga movement being such a gift to democrats where we can as democrats keep looking well if
Starting point is 00:41:38 you don't vote for us it's so much worse over there and like cartoonish like it is a cartoon of how bad it could be but once that movement starts to subside now we're just kind of stuck with not fulfilling on these promises and people will start jumping from it's like well you know the maga made the republicans look cartoonishly bad now they just look bad but democrats haven't been helping us either so this is gonna get worse i think once there's like the big bad wolf of maga goes away where you can't they'll have democrats won't have anything to point at that's as cartoonish once that subsides so you have to have a foundation of being helpful and being truthful and benefiting your voters at some point.
Starting point is 00:42:26 But I think it's also we see this across the world, even in situations we're currently speaking about around the globe, where sometimes it benefits you to have people so craven or appearing so extreme to help you kind of be like, that's actually good for me. Like, so I'm not, I don't, I'm not really trying to get rid of that. It's actually good that they're there because we can kind of maintain this course of act, like this course we're on and not have to do too much. And then just raise the specter of right-wing extremism to get people to fall in line. Because at the end of the day, we're still seeing police indiscriminately kill people in the streets. We're still seeing police indiscriminately kill people in the streets.
Starting point is 00:43:05 We're still seeing the economy not working for working people. It's only because of working people taking up for themselves that we're seeing things happen. So I get when people are like, but he's the most pro-union president ever. It's like he wasn't organizing the auto workers. He wasn't organizing Starbucks. He was not organizing Amazon work. He's not the one doing it. I get that the environment might be more positive in that sense. workers he wasn't organizing starbucks he was not organizing amazon work he's not the one doing i
Starting point is 00:43:25 get that the the environment might be more positive in that sense but that work is being done by the people on the ground so you know you got you got a lot you got a lot to work on democrats if you're going to continue to be like you gotta vote for us because shit is still really bad for people and without something that resembles that i mean like but like, but again, I think this is, it's sort of, it's definitely a bit of a fantasy to think that the democratic party as it is, is ever going to do anything different. And I think that's why we always end up coming to the place of, well, that's why there needs to be some sort of political realignment in this country that is able to siphon away some of the power from the main parties and actually give people some other
Starting point is 00:44:05 option because like we said earlier yeah like between donald trump and joe biden you're still going to get indiscriminate bombing of people in palestine it's just like at what speed are you getting it and that to me those aren't those those aren't real options if that's something that's front of mind for you and i think it's really fucked up to to browbeat somebody be like well oh okay i'm sorry that you have a problem with all these these people getting killed with our munitions but but but donald trump like that's that's not that's not moving the needle yeah i don't know that it's going i don't know the maggot thing's going to subside also like that it't seem like the country, the support, is moving in the right direction.
Starting point is 00:44:49 Our third-party candidate that everyone's like, oh, thank God this guy came around, is an anti-vaxxer who is appealing to people who won't support science. Things are not moving in the right direction and also like we we talked at the very beginning of like this show we were talking about how but when trump first came to office and that like it was new people you know everyone was breathlessly covering it and it was shocking that like somebody
Starting point is 00:45:26 who says the things he says and is as racist as he is like could come to power but now we're at a point where it feels like people are just kind of like they accept it that that's a thing and it's like people are now sliding back into a world where it's like, yeah, and also this other party is actively fucking us. And so, you know, that that's what happened with the Nazi party like that. They were around and very unpopular for a decade. And like people think about that story and think it's like this quick, swift rise to power. But it wasn't. They were around.
Starting point is 00:46:07 They were popular when they first came to power. They or when they first like became a thing and started like beating people up on the streets and, you know, being incredibly offensive and anti-Semitic in like on Maine. They were a front page news. And then by the time they rose to power that people were just like yeah they walked into it we know about them yeah people just slept walking into it so i think there's a real danger that these dynamics that the democratic party are counting on whether there is like some crisis that suddenly makes like the populace like want to shift right words because of like a terror attack or something like that or whether it's just like sleepwalking
Starting point is 00:46:53 into it like i think the everybody is playing with fire who's just like counting on these same dynamics of being scared of trump to hold up like that that's not indefinite that won't that won't hold up indefinitely and then you're in some real big fucking trouble yeah that's that's a really good point i i think even like after you said that i think i hope what i meant because it makes me sound smarter is that it wouldn't it may not be maga in that name or trump on like trump but it will be a version it'll take on it maybe a new face maybe a new name or they'll keep the name it's a great name so who knows no you were wrong and I was right that's a great point no no you just talked longer and you do this and it makes part of your fucking thing this is why you have me on i know you guys fucking set me up right now that's right yeah it's like oh let him be funny and then we talk and yeah no i'm but it's i i still come back
Starting point is 00:47:51 i'll still keep coming back thank you strength of character folks strength of character thank you all right let's uh let's take a break and we'll be right back. My name is Manuel Delia. I am one of the hosts of Crooks Everywhere, a podcast that unhurts the plot to murder a one-woman Wikileaks. Daphne exposed the culture of crime and corruption that were turning her beloved country into a mafia state. And she paid the ultimate price. Listen to Crooks Everywhere starting September 25th on the iHeartRadio app,
Starting point is 00:48:46 Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. 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.
Starting point is 00:49:15 120. 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.
Starting point is 00:49:29 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. Dream Sequence is a new horror thriller from Blumhouse Television, iHeartRadio, and Realm. They're just dreams. 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.
Starting point is 00:50:12 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.
Starting point is 00:50:31 Why would we want to be the losing team? I'd just take all the other stuff out of it. 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.
Starting point is 00:50:49 Listen to Rebel Spirit on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. And it's the holiday season. And all around, DiGiorno is in there. I don't know. I lost it. What song were you doing? It just caught me for a brief.
Starting point is 00:51:17 It's the holiday season. And whoop-dee-doo. And dick-a-ree-dah. And whoop-dee-doo. And don't forget. The hangover's not. And wah-wah-wah. And doi-oi-oi-oi-oi. Andy Williams. It's Andy Williams. The late, great Andy Williams.
Starting point is 00:51:38 Happy holidays. Was that guy probably a violent racist? Oh, he was an alcoholic and definitely a racist. Oh, yeah. Oh, he was an alcoholic and definitely a racist. Oh, yeah. Oh, my God. Just drool. You know that like drunk sweat where just there's like beads of sweat above the lip, but it's like 61 degrees. He's holding a saucer for some reason.
Starting point is 00:52:01 To catch his drool. Yeah. to catch his drool yeah there's a whole genre of holiday songs where the person seems to have uh suffered some sort of head injury where like the santa baby and like that one's very infantilizing and dumb sounding and then the so what they do and they do and they don't put the shit on my cock so you're not saying words anymore homie yeah wait what was that last one it does sound like all of these people are singing it as their hospital gown just comes undone and they don't even know about it because they're just so far gone. Oh, dude, I'm so glad. I'm vindicated here. I was looking into Andy Williams' politics.
Starting point is 00:52:49 He was at the fucking Ambassador Hotel when RFK was killed because he was friends with RFK. But I was like, oh, is he on there? But he later on, he's like, yeah, I was friends with him, but I'm a lifelong Republican. And he was like letting Rush Limbaugh use his music for his radio show and said Obama was a Marxist. So, yeah, thanks, Andy. Thanks for that. Thank you, Andy. He was there at the hotel when he was killed.
Starting point is 00:53:12 Hey, Sirhan, Sirhan, Sirhan, Sirhan. Yeah, yeah, right here, right here. Hey, hey. How do you know Sirhan Sirhan? He around the corner. He around the corner. He about to come through the kitchen. He about to come through the kitchen.
Starting point is 00:53:24 Allegedly. the kitchen allegedly anyways all equally honoring the holidays di giorno is dropping a frozen thanksgiving pizza on all of our asses i don't beating us over the head because it's frozen like ah oh a. This is used as a murder weapon. Yeah, this is a Thanksgiving dinner that takes 20 minutes to make and, you know, zero work. Just press a couple buttons. And it looks like in the photograph where they've made it look like as good as possible. It looks like shit to me. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:04 Personally. It looks like someone. me. Oh yeah. It looks like somewhere you got, it looks like you got in a fight at your Thanksgiving and you were leaving with a plate like to go home with. And then you got so mad, you just threw it on the fucking ground. And that was a pizza. It's kind of like visually what this looks like.
Starting point is 00:54:19 I was reading the review of my six swordfish. I think. Oh no. Yeah. Once it left, it's a tank. It's a go. I think. Oh no. Yeah, once it leapt out. Oh god. It's a tank. It's a goopy, gravy-covered rectangle. Yeah. Yeah. It's like shit. But like, the
Starting point is 00:54:31 reviews seem to be that like, it was, it tastes much better than people thought it would, but still a no-form-y dog was kind of a thing I saw from other accounts I was looking on the internet. Got an official no-form-y dog. I mean, it's not delivery.
Starting point is 00:54:46 It's disgusting. Hey, you know, there's a new one for you. I like that. I'm, I did. That is no one that,
Starting point is 00:54:53 that might've been just your group of friends in middle school, but you, are you, I, I don't, I don't need this. I never thought like I'm always down with a Thanksgiving sandwich. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:55:08 I'm willing to go there. Pizza. Turkey as a topping. In theory, could be good if... Here's what you would need to do for this to work for me. Drop the potatoes. Drop the turkey.
Starting point is 00:55:24 Just green beans. Stuffing. Drop the potatoes. Drop the turkey. Just green beans. Stuffing. Mozzarella cheese. Gravy sauce. All right, bro. And a whole fucking pumpkin pie right in the middle. Yeah. Oh, Jesus.
Starting point is 00:55:37 I think you got to fill this thing with red wine. With a 2025 Merlot. and like a jelly donut i want this merlot to be older than to be younger than a baby okay then a parent like baby whose parents haven't met yet yes and the crust is stuffed with a cloth napkin that you wipe your mouth with when you're done with it. It reveals a nice cloth napkin with every bite. There's a fortune written on it. Handwritten. Not mass produced.
Starting point is 00:56:16 It's a handwritten fortune on your napkin. Go ahead. Thank you. Next call. Call it or you're on. What do you suggest? Yeah, I think you should soak it. Under the cheese, a receipt. Also, mozzarella, not a Thanksgiving. I get that it's a pizza, so you're like,
Starting point is 00:56:35 I got to have the mozzarella on there or whatever. You got to have the mozz. Bro. I don't know, man. The fact that it's a gravy sauce gives me hope. The fact that they've put gravy as the sauce. Hey, it's my known as gravy. That's right.
Starting point is 00:56:48 It's like it is marinara. I don't want turkey and I don't want potatoes. I do not want potatoes as a topping on any pizza. We heard you. I don't. Just reiterating that over and over. I'm sorry about my son. I don't want turkey and I don't want the potato.
Starting point is 00:57:04 They know, they know, pickup. They know, honey. They know. You could put some poultry on there after the fact, but when you put cooked turkey on as a topping and then cook it again, that's no bueno. That's a dried out ass fucker. That bird is parched.
Starting point is 00:57:23 That fucker's dry, bro. Dude, this fucker is parched, dude. ass fucker. That bird is dry, bro. Dude, this fucker is dry. I think the best thing. Bring me my bird water. Rehydrate this real quick. What's bird water? You don't want to know.
Starting point is 00:57:44 But the best Thanksgiving leftover thing I've ever done was made papadena with it. Like potato balls. You know, like a porto. The potato balls. So this is what you do. You take mashed potatoes and then you take the you fork off the turkey meat. Right. And what I did was I made a fork off. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:57 OK, thanks, guy. And then you basically fill the center with like little bits of turkey with gravy. And then you wrap that in a fucking mashed potato ball. And then you take stuffing, right? Like the dry stuffing, like the mix. You roll your potato balls in that and then deep fry that fucker. I'm telling you, that's what I did like maybe eight years ago with my friends high as fuck. And it was, it's wonderful. I think people started started i'm not saying
Starting point is 00:58:26 i came up with this but after the fact i started people started making this shit but anyway i'm not here wow you're dipping that in some gravy you're dipping that in some gravy but you want to keep the inside what we did was we took we uh we braised a like turkey meat like slow cooked it in gravy so you had like this shredded turkey like really soft turkey meat that was already like in a gravy mixture so then it goes very well into the potato ball anyway that's all i'm impressed with miles yeah i'm fucking impressed that's amazing i'll do it wow i'll do it i'll do it i'll fucking do it you should you have and you will bro you'll do it again i will bro i'm not trying
Starting point is 00:59:05 to stop you go ahead go ahead i've always wanted to dip dip gravy in more gravy and that that feels like an opportunity with this recipe oh like that i thought yeah i think like freezing up like gravy into a stick and then dipping that in gravy a gravestickle or yeah yeah i mean even this dijono pizza does give you that option. And maybe that would get over my difficulties with the dry turkey if they gave you a gravy dipping sauce on the side for your gravy pizza. Or just think ahead and integrate fucking stuffing with the flavor profile of your crust or dough. You know what I mean? So, like, your delivery mechanism already has that, like sage herby stuffing flavor whatever bro like i can't you don't say delivery around the
Starting point is 00:59:50 people that i mean you can't say delivery mechanism with them they'll be so pissed oh fuck i just jump out the window this meeting is over fuck you have them until that moment i fucked it up, didn't I? They're like, yeah. Learn to take yes for an answer. Yeah. Do you guys validate? No.
Starting point is 01:00:12 No. The fuck out of our office. Where's DiGiorno's located? I wonder what their corporate campus is like. Oh, I bet it's sprawling. I bet. Yeah. A lot of, it's like microsoft's i would imagine
Starting point is 01:00:26 soccer fields you know yeah sleep also looks like a ufo landed in the middle of silicon valley and that's the di giorno campus over there hydration why can't you find there's no like there's no like folksy origin story about di giorno because it's not anything it's just a fucking name they just gave their stupid frozen shit. I don't know why I was like... Probably made in the same... Probably made in the same lab as Snackables, you know? This is fucked up.
Starting point is 01:00:54 When I was in college, this is really... I really lucked out here, so let's just look past that. This could have been, depending on who you ask, a disaster.
