Yeah. The producer is there and so we have to store. Have you ever gone with the Clift Bar? Those are going to need to see some ID because you're entering the Clift Bar? The Clift Bar and not the bar, edible bar like the place that you drink bar. I'm just riffing here,

just connecting A to C. Yeah, I feel like people have told me that I should go by DJ Cliffhanger if I become a DJ, which I don't hate. Or just go esteemed actor Montgomery Clift. OK, so I hear that we're distantly related. Oh, yeah? Yeah. OK, so I've heard from some family members

that we're distantly related. I've heard from other family members that were distantly related. I've heard from other family members that were not related at all, but, um, he's buried somewhere in, I want to say New York and only family members can visit his grave and part of me is like, can I just go and like show my ID and like visit his grave? Cause like, I could be like, yeah, we're cousins or whatever. Do you have any, I think his's from Omaha originally or something like that? I don't know if I have Omaha family.

He might be, he might be fucking, they might be trying to hide the truth from you, man. Yeah, you're right. Joey, this is the biggest conspiracy we're going to talk about today. I wonder if you could pull up just on the strength of your last name, be like, are you kidding me? It's me, Joey. I'm here to fuck the fuck. Yeah, you know, Joey Clift?

You know that new sound you were looking for? I mean, Joey, I'm here to help you. What the fuck? Yeah, you know Joey Clift? You know that new sound you were looking for? Oh yeah. Hey, Monty, you know that new sound? Yeah, hey Monty, know that new Clift you've been looking for? You're looking at it. What is something from your search history? Oh, this is like a series of increasingly panicked and specific searches on YouTube.

My sister and nephew visited this weekend, and I had to learn how to install and then reinstall a car seat for a child in the waiting lane of Burbank Airport. I put it in wrong. You guys are dads. I guess you probably know about backwards versus forwards facing. I did not. Yeah, as long as you can. As long as you can get them facing backwards, man. Yeah. So I put it in-

You had that shit in the front seat facing forward and shit. You're like, hey, my young nephew. I had it on top with my knives. Like the fucking cliff at Beverly Hillbillies, like the clampits are coming to town and shit. As long as you got one of those roof racks, I think that's pretty legal. It was solid. No, it was one of those things where it was like my because it's what the the 40 pound was the limit it was the limit on the fucking car seat and I just remembered my sister bragging so much about how like tall my nephew is for his age

So I I just genuinely was like that motherfucker's probably more than 40 pounds right Yeah, so I installed it didn't bring it? Yeah, yeah. I was like, yeah. I brought a motorcycle for him. Motorcycle sidecar. And yeah, and it was just like unacceptable, which is like, fine, that's on me. But then having to readjust a car seat, like with my blinkers on with people honking behind me at Burbank Airport, which at least it wasn't LAX. It could have been worse, but it was not great.

That's fucking stressful. It was the most stress I, an individual who's created the least stressful life possible, has experienced in me. That's precisely, yeah, that's always how it works. It's like next thing you know, you're clogging up Burbank. Yeah. Sorry, I don't have the signal to Google this shit right now. And it's like, it's also like those like, like installation YouTube's. I mean, you know, the,

you can skip around and find it, but the fucking preamble, I was just like, yeah, lady, come on, it's fine. Yeah, I know. This is a great car seat. Yeah. A lot of great features. Tell me how to fix this quickly. This is, that's what the YouTube premium should be. It should just be instructional videos that actually get without preamble. Yeah. That I would pay for that. I remember the first time installing a car seat, like before we were going to the hospital to have our first and like they, I think they tell you that you have to like get a fire.

Like somebody works at the fire in the fire department. So they check it for you. Yeah. Which is so, I mean, it does make sense. It's also like, wow, that I'm, I must be fucking this up in some way because it seems fairly straightforward to me. Like, I think this YouTube video kind of explained it. It's wild because when we were having our kid, Her Majesty, she's like, you know, supposed to go to the fire station or CHP thing.

And I was like, I ain't going no fucking CHP shit for what? And she's like, to fucking at least know from that, the people who deal with car accidents all the time that the car seat is in there's like you're not going there to fucking give them money and high five them i'm like yeah fine and so we go the nicest fucking guy comes out he's like he was like a clearly just like wanted to be a desk chp guy he was like wearing he had his like shirt on but had like jeans on and was just like you guys having a kid I was like, you know, I'm a grandpa started showing me his like very yeah family. He's like, you know what? I'm gonna get you a pool noodle because I think this can be a little bit

I don't like this give here He got a pool noodle like cut it by like custom fitted to our thing and I was this motherfucker Just whispering under your breath the whole time This motherfucker just whispering under your breath the whole time. Still a cab motherfucker. He's like, what was that? I'm like, thank you so much, sir. Thank you so much. Your child is adorable. Congratulations. Thank you so much. We back the we back the beige. Yes. Was the pool noodle blue? Was it blue? No, it was green. It was green. Damn. Yeah. And we gave that car seat to another friend who was having a kid.

And I was like, you know, take this pool noodle also goes a long way. But yeah, they definitely check it out. I was curious. It is so funny to me. It makes sense when you guys say it, but like the amount, I know it's just like the fucking nanny state, I guess, like, but how much of infant shit falls to firefighters is wild to me. It's hard for me to imagine a firefighter and a baby at the same time.

Just like this really. Yeah. You guys having trouble envisioning it use AI search and baby. Yeah. Yeah. Everyone, everyone hit me on Twitter with your fighter, burn down a glacier, melted glacier, generated image of firefighter with baby. No way.

You can just look at this calendar I have, this photograph, baby calendar. Mr. Firefighter. Here he comes. Look at those overalls. Yeah. I mean, you can just drop your baby off at the fire station. Yeah. If you want.

I know. It comes to that. Why is that a thing? I mean, it's great that it's a thing. Yeah, it's definitely a conservative now. But specifically those guys, I just it's just like I think because they have time. There's a there's a level of like medical care, like, you know, literacy that firefighters have.

So it's not, you know, they're not they're not the guys with guns who shoot the poor people. Yeah. Like, and I guess what is it? What is my vision? I kindly none. Like, what the fuck am I? Where do I? Do I? Where do I think you should like, you know, go? Yeah, no, you don't have to drop them off here. You could always drop them off at the Catholic Church. Oh, no, no, no, no, no. Thank you. Thank you, sir. I have no I don't know why my brain is, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, Underrated and I knew you would underrated possums Underrated possums underrated possums. Oh fuck. Yeah, I love that going

I've been just seeing possums a lot recently and being like wow, they are cool They are cool, they're cool by me they're cool by me I like drop some fruit in my yard and one like truly came out of a bush and took the fruit and then disappeared back into the bush. And I was like, wow. And you could choose to be completely freaked out by that or A-OK with it. And I love that you chose an A-OK. Well, I was outside.

You know, I was A-OK. Well, that's what I'm saying. It's like we're freaked out by possums, overrated squirrels. Why are squirrels okay? Possums, everybody's. I'm telling you. Yes. Why are squirrels okay? Possum everybody's yes. Why are squirrels like rabies? Yeah, that's right. Miles, I'm actually reading from the Terminex page.

If you've recently come across a possum, rabies might be on your mind. These scavengers are notorious for going through garbage, blah, blah, blah. Any mammal can get rabies. But generally, OK, rare, but it's very rare for that. Because they have such low body temperature. Look, my mom, you know, prepared. My mom is a card carrying member, like literally of like the American opossum society, because she fucking I'm not joking, ride or die.

I thought you said you thought possums are cool because maybe you caught it reading like a Eve Babbitt's book or something. You're like, oh, I've kind of fucked with that possum. She got the I just think they're cool. I think there there's the one that lives in my yard is like so big. I can't believe it. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I've seen one walk across my yard that is like having trouble like it's Having great success in the food chain

It is out here eating Right, right. I mean for something that's like sort of blind and right kind of kind of big Looks blind as hell. Even if it's not blind, that shit looks blind as hell. Well, it's because their sounds are all fucked up because they literally lead with their face into like untold danger because they're like, what's going on? And they're like, ah, like their weird pointy faces look like that thing from Beetlejuice. Yeah. That's when Alec Baldwin does his like stretched out face.

Yeah. Yeah. It was just being Alec Baldwin out face. Yeah. I like just being Alec Baldwin. Yeah. And then squirrels. Yeah, they're not native. Like they 100 years ago, people thought it was easy. Yeah, I'm just saying they don't belong here. No. Are you a birther?

A squirrel birther? I just remember squirrel birth. Hearing a podcast where they were like, yeah, there were no squirrels in cities along it like very recently. And like if you took somebody from the past to the present, the first thing they'd notice is they'd be like, wow, what the fuck? Wait, so where'd they come from? But they'd also be like, where did all the rats go?

Yeah, exactly. Why don't we all have rats on your shoulders? Yeah. Why did the rats that, you know, populate every city and run through the streets at night, where'd they go? Yeah. One of the scariest things that you can have, one of the scariest animal interactions you can have is when a squirrel comes at you instead of running away, when it's just like, nah,

I don't do it. I actually. Damn, bro. This is a lot about you, bro. They pull up on you like that. Yeah, they don't respect. No, that's my face. That's why I'm going to say they're overrated. I was very

starting shit with they can tell you don't respect them. So they're getting up in your face. Wait, so where does this thing about they're not from? I'm reading about native squirrel species to California. Wait, what are we talking about? Squirrels were purposely introduced to American cities. I see. To do what?

According to National Geographic, those nutty neighbors were once seen as a benefit to urban living. I don't know why, because this is behind a paywall, but national geographic. But so the knowledge ends there. Yeah. Why were squirreled introduced to cities? Urban reformers who thought of the squirrel as a rural mascot wanted to bring the animal

into places like Manhattan Central Park in order to create a bucolic atmosphere that was entertaining and lightning and a made up word, salubrious. In 1847, three squirrels were released in Philadelphia's Franklin Square Park. And the rest is history. The rest is fucking history. Oh, okay. So I get, okay. So that seems maybe more of like an East coast thing because I'm like, there's, I see like two types of squirrels, like gray squirrels and like brown ground squirrels all the time. Oh yeah. They are thriving and they want me to know it. And they love to store those fucking acorns in the weirdest spots. No, we had a squirrel get loose in my house and like,

it's a squirrel that lives in our backyard and is just, you know, not scared of anybody in our household at this point is just like, so. And it was a very weird experience. You just we left the back door open and he ran out. But he at one point like was standing on a, on the dinner table, just like looking at everyone and then like looking at us. It was fucking terrifying.

Yeah, I think their lack of fear of humans freaks me out. Like possums, no, possums are just like, like if you see a possum and it clocks that you see it, it's kind of like, no, you didn't like, yeah, it'll be like, no, I'm dead. Stop looking at me no i'm dead stop looking at me i'm hideous i'm actually dead i'm actually dead i'm not here scrolls do the thing where they like make full eye contact and they're like yeah that's right i'm eating your food yeah on their hind legs and shit they're like what's up mother which i respect they're gonna do shit no don't run they're gonna do shit run there, gonna do shit.

Yeah. Scrolls gonna like steal your lunch money. Yeah. Steal your girlfriend. Yeah. Just be like Mr. steal your squirrel. Lydia, what's overrated? Brett summer.

Brett summer is overrated. It took me all of the summer to figure out what the fuck it meant because I'm Brett summer. what is this? What is this? And I was just like, oh, it's just messy and slightly related to a Charli XCX song, I think. I don't know, but like, I just think Brett Summer is overrated.

Like, why do we need to celebrate being messy and being drunk? Like, isn't that just summer, Brett Summer? Like, I don't like that we're fortifying just like mid drifts and skinny glasses. You know what I mean? Like I just associate it with just like the worst human being I've ever met. And I don't want anything to do with it. I just don't like it just sounds like a music festival wrapped in COVID to me. I'm just like, I don't want any parts of Brett summer. No, thank you.

Oh God. Hey, you going to Brett summer? No, man. Sorry. I just went to the doctor. They said I should just be really careful and I should not be going to Brat Summer? No, man. No. Sorry. I just went to the doctor. They said I should just be really careful and I should not be going to Brat Summer. Yeah, man. I saw another thing on TikTok. This girl was talking about, she was like, I'm done with Brat Summer. I'm all about meemaw fall. And it spoke to me so intensely that I have taken it to heart where I'm like, yeah, I'm

meemaw fall. Like, look at me. I'm in a pink sweatshirt on my porch that has like fucking doodles on it. You know, I'm all about, I'm setting on the porch, not sitting, setting, I'm setting on the porch with my dogs, long A, big W. What are you fixing for supper later? I don't know what I'm fixing tonight.

I'm probably gonna order something in cause I'm feeling a little lazy. But yeah, exactly, I wanna fix supper. Oh my God, that's so brat. Isn't it exactly. I want to fix that. That's so Brad. Isn't it? Oh, wait. That's pretty Brad. Mima would be cooking something low and slow right now.

Yeah. Honestly, if I had my Mima summer on, I would have something in the crock pot. If I really was about my Mima fall today, I would have something in the crock pot today. Yeah. Some manner of casserole. Yeah. Something where the main ingredient is a cream of something soup. Yo, ask me what I made.

Ask me what I made last night for dinner. Would you make cream of my, it was cream of mushroom. Tuna noodle casserole. Yeah. Yeah. That was like my number one. Got the green peas. I do my own shit.

I like to saute and like go, you know, really get my onions caramelized. I caramelized onions before I put it with some garlic thyme. And I put some sherry wine to fucking, you know, just to cook it down a little bit, get that flavor. Because, you know, and then you put it with some panko on top, baby. Yep. Look, it's pea-paw fall, baby. I'm telling you, man.

I made a pot roast stroganoff yesterday and it was fucking fire. So honestly, we're probably having leftovers of that if I'm going to eat extra real. But that's what it's all about, man. That's what I'm saying. Let's just slow down. I'm going to wear my hair in a bun. I'm wearing calf dens. I'm drinking Diet Coke out of a mason jar.

You know what I'm saying? I got my hummingbird feeders up. I'm watching birds fight over nectar. You know, like that's what I'm about. That's much more my speed. I'm me, my fault all the way. Let's go with that. Fuck Brett Summer.

I can't, I can't, I can't do it. It's taking my entire body to not just go off talking about hummingbirds right now. Cause we've had some hummingbird activity in our backyard. We have, we have. And the rumors are true, Lydia. There has been humming, quite a bit of hummingbird activity in our backyard. We have. We have. And the rumors are true, Lydia. There has been humming, quite a bit of hummingbird activity

in our backyard. You know what? I can't get into it right now. I get it. I have a whole situation going on out here too. It's wild. It's so wonderful. The highlights of the time of the day,

it's like seven or eight of them just going for it. And they fucking fight, They dive bomb us. It's, it's crazy. Oh yeah. Ours are aggressive. It just whistles by your ear. It sounds like you're in a war zone. Yeah.

They dive bomb my dogs, which I think, you know, like a war zone when hummingbirds fly by your head. This is spoken like somebody who's seen some shit. By shit. I mean, I have had nerf guns fired at my head, but my children. All right. Let's take a quick break. We'll come back. We're going to talk about some news. We'll be right back.

My favorite show. Sorry. I don't mean to rip off my favorite comedian, Bill Maher, but there's some new rules. Hell yeah, dude. Do you want me to do a deep voice drop and you say that, you say new rules and I say like new rules. New rules. New rules. Yeah. There it is. New rules. New rules. But yeah, I think rather than calling for like actual reforms that would make the country safer and by extension Donald Trump himself even safer, the right is now just using like take the thwarting of another would be assassin to say that it's the Democrats are actually totally at fault here.

This is all on them. that it's the Democrats are actually totally at fault here. This is all on them. They keep saying Trump is a danger and a threat to our democracy. That's just how these things happen. You keep saying words like that, and people will try and do bad things to Donald Trump. The campaign, the campaign even released like a long list of receipts to prove it. They're like, Kamala Harris, quote, Trump is a threat to our democracy and fundamental freedoms.

Joe Biden, it's time to put Trump in a bull's eye. I mean this from the bottom of my heart, Trump is a threat to this nation. Then they have just everyone, Tim Walz, Gwen Walz, Nancy Pelosi. It goes on and on and on. And everyone's just talking about like, yeah, he's a destructive force to our democracy.

And you know, like we cannot, this man should not be near office at all. And when they have Gwenn walls saying bye bye Donald Trump. Yep. Yep. And by the most heinous threat I've ever heard in my life. Cause I don't want the show to get canceled. Yeah.

Bye bye. Bye bye Donald Trump. She's just quoting the SNL sketch. She's just quoting an old David Spade SNL sketch. Jesus. Bye bye. Bye bye. She's just quoting. Bye bye. Donald Trump. The SNL sketch is just quoting an old David Spade SNL sketch. Bye bye. Jesus. Bye bye. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Bye bye.

Bye bye now. What? That is truly wild that they're like. Yeah. And she said that immediately after firing the shot. Like that's the only way that that would be. Yeah, to be fair, she was holding an AK-47 as she was saying that. Yeah, yeah.

Immediately before. Lit up a 12 pack of Trump beer cans right after. Uh, but then they have like other stuff that they put like disgraced Harris staff. Like they're putting modifiers in front of people's names. It's like in front of a quote, but anyway, this is them proving, look how many times people accurately described how Donald Trump is a destructive force to political norms in the United States. So they did slide one in there.

Representative Dan Goldman did say he is destructive to our democracy and dot, dot, dot, I don't know what they removed there. He has to be eliminated, which does feel rhetorically like the sort of thing that you would get called out on in the democratic party as like being, I don't know, that seems over the line, man. What are you the fucking terminator? We're just like trying to win a, an election here. Uh, and they, like, I've seen this quoted on social media, people being

like, he, he said this right after the assassination attempts. In fact, he said this back in 2023 and immediately got in shit and had to apologize right away from the dead bread part. He was like, no, no, no, I misspoke. I didn't mean that. But that is the bait and switch they're doing. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Many things like this. And let's also hear from JD Vance,

who has a warning for all of us about our words and the power of our words. Is this the quote where he calls Trump America's Hitler? Oh no, no, that was earlier. That was many years ago. Not his own rhetoric. Not his own rhetoric that compares him to actual despotic leaders.

But anyway, not to say that Trump isn't, but here's Senator JD Vance. And I know it's popular on a lot of corners of the left. I think this sound, it just fucked me up so bad. It was like a bunch of mosquitoes. It's just a lot of humming. Sorry to my audio engineers out there. The main audience for JD Vance speeches is swarms of bugs. Yeah, exactly.

It's like, Jesus. It's like, what's going on, Jesus. It's like, what's going on, dude? It's like, I only see this when there's a dead body around. They use that high pitch whine that like scares teenagers away. Yeah, don't, there should be no, get them with it. No, no. Okay. Go on, JD. To say that we have a, we have a both sides problem. And I'm not going to say we're always perfect. I'm not gonna say that conservatives always get things exactly right.

But you know the big difference between conservatives and liberals is that no one has tried to kill Kamala Harris. What's he gonna say, we haven't tried to kill Kamala Harris? Yeah, I think so. We haven't tried to kill. Well, let me just turn that, hold on, Mr. Let's see that Freudian slip one more time.

Is that we have, no one has tried to kill. Oh Jesus, yeah you're right. Yeah, he was for sure about this. In the last couple of months. Yikes. And two people now have tried to kill Donald Trump in the last couple of months. I'd say that's pretty strong evidence

that the left needs to tone down the rhetoric and needs to cut this crap out. I think what's really funny too is like, just because someone, obviously these people had a lot of issues, but it just really was like, well, if they're against Trump, then they're a liberal. Yeah. Oh, sir, sir. Both people vote for Trump.

Yes. The latest guy, he gave donations to ActBlue, so they're like, this guy's definitely a Democrat or whatever. But when you look at the totality of what he has said and his actions, you're like, I don't even know what bucket you put this guy in at all. He was just all time dipshit. This guy, Ryan, whatever. Ryan Ruth.

Ralph. Yeah. Ryan Ralph, uh, worst assassin name of all time. Sorry. I just, it sucks. Ryan. Yeah. In your face, John Wilkes Booth.

Yeah, exactly. Like John Wilkes Booth. Yeah, exactly. John Wilkes Booth, like born for it. You know, what a name for an assassin. Ryan Ralph, like you should be a D3 quarterback or something like that. Oh, easily. Yeah, for sure. I mean, it's not too late. You can still do that.

Yeah. Hey, how many years of eligibility you got, man? He's like militaristic in his pro-Ukrainian stance. As in going there. Yeah, he went there and was like, now, I recognize you might not want me as a fighter, because I have no military expertise or experience. And they were like, yeah, let me cut you off there.

No, we don't want you. Yeah. Yeah. And we're calling DHS. I think they were like, yeah, let me cut you off there. No, we don't want you. I think they were even like talk, tried to talk to law enforcement because they were so put off by this guy. Everyone that this guy deals with, like just got the wildest. Like they were just like, he's scary. What an arresting officer who like arrested him for having a

weapon of mass destruction, a gun that he had modified to be a full automatic rifle. There was a gun that he welded together to make five guns. Yeah. A super gun. Basically. With barrels pointed in all directions. Homemade super gun, pulled him over, and he tried to scramble to hide it because he had it in the front seat with him for some reason.

With a wig on it? Yeah. It was buckled up so to was saying, don't worry. Oh, my girlfriend? No, she's fine. She's just a little tired. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

But the arresting officer said, uh, she thought he would be either dead or in prison by now. She added, I had no clue that he had moved on and was continuing his escapades. And then somebody who worked for him at his roofing business told the independent that her former boss had quote, a local reputation for doing stupid shit. I mean, I wanted to see a bullet pointed list of what that stupid shit is. I mean, like we know on the international stage, like once he contacted Kim Jong-un and invited him to go to Hawaii on a vacation and offered to be

his liaison there with no context. Dude, you are not Dennis Rodman. You are not Kim Jong-un ain't pulling up for you. Only the worm. Yeah, I mean, he's just the exact sort of impressionable dummy that makes the ability to get a gun at, at any time in the United States, uh, so dangerous. Sure. Right.

But I, but I also feel like this is, I mean, like, yeah, like the rhetoric's hot. Sure. Sure. For both sides, you know, but it's like, yeah, yeah, it's so hot, but it's like, I feel like part of it is that Trump is so like, usually I feel like when presidents travel, they're very careful, right? It's like, there's a level of like allowing secret service, like knowing where you're going, allowing for secret service to like, you know, scope out

locations and it's just a very, it's like, it's just like a process for a president to visit a place. And I feel like Trump is just a guy that kind of does whatever he wants in such a way that it's like, yeah, he probably just five minutes before golfing was like, I want to golf on that, you know, at that golf course. And I'm like, yeah. And then it's like, there wasn't really time for the proper procedures of Secret Service, like checking the place out. And even then, I mean, like they, but they caught him 500 yards away from Trump. He wasn't even in the line of sight. Like Trump wasn't even the line line of sight of this guy. Did the guy fire shots?

No, he didn't fire one shot at all. No, I think Secret Service fired at him. Yeah, but this guy never got a shot at him. That's interesting because the way it's being reported, even in the Washington Post, is that there were shots fired. And like, it's heavily implicated. Yeah, it's exactly the same as the fucking NYPD thing on the subway where there like there was an

officer involved like shooting and two officers were wounded by an armed fare jumper and it was like a disturbed person who didn't pay their fare and had a knife and then the NYPD showed up and like started shooting each other and they're like they make it sound like it was a person, an armed person shooting on the subway and the only armed person shooting on the subway was the NYPD. I think I just, by definition, Trump is a threat, meaning a person that has the potential to cause harm. Like that's just by the very definition of it.

I don't think again, taking lessons from this group on rhetoric is useful at all. And I don't think we need to run down. A lot of people are obviously going to run down. All the times Trump had truly violent and dehumanizing rhetoric that he uses. So my response to this is like, okay, yeah, try something, find a new fucking angle. I think that people on the right actually envision a world where those who don't conform to their definitions of American or normal would have some kind of violent repercussions. So they don't understand anything like nuance or whatever, because again, it's not even about what they know or don't know.

They just found a moment where suddenly the scales are kind of tipping in their favor because there's someone was like aiming to try and do harm to Trump, that they can go, okay, now we can use this to be like, oh my God, you guys are so bad, you guys are so bad, it's not about us anymore. Yeah, for sure. It feels like it's such a political gotcha kind of thing where it's just like, it's not productive. Sure. It also doesn't align how heavy of a threat Trump is to all of this stuff.

I think that my two cents on this are going to be summed up in a little quote from Gwen Walls. Bye bye, Donald Trump. Sorry, I didn't mean to say hate speech like that. Sorry, sorry, sorry. Bye bye at the boating booth. Bye bye. We're gonna tell him bye bye, huh? Yeah.

I do think like it's probably worth acknowledging the violence of his rhetoric in response to the assassination attempts and the fact that he is making it like blaming it on the Democrats, which takes it into this context of like, there's already essentially a civil war happening and they're like trying to kill me. It dot dot dot. It just feels like we've like entered new, very dangerous situation because of that. Rather than we don't have firearms, Lucy's hanging all around the country for people

who just like, just slip up. Yeah. When it's like, you look at, there was that Elon Musk tweet, like I want to say a couple days ago, who let Elon Musk, clearly one of Trump's advisors, you know? Where he essentially said something to be effective, like people should start trying to assassinate Kamala or something. He did not, Joey, Joey, not fair. He didn't say that.

He was like, gosh, nobody's even trying to assassinate them. Yeah, you're right. He didn't say no, he didn't say something he should. Thank you, number one Elon defender, thank you. Yeah, you're right, I'm sorry. I flew off the handle there. You should say bye bye to me. Joey, bye bye on that one.

Oh no. Let's bring in our next guest since Joey couldn't make it. No, sorry. We'll go on what we were saying about the Elon thing. Yeah, I don't know. It's just dangerous as shit. Well, I mean, but it's dangerous. If we're talking about words that end up in violent outcomes, look at the people in Aurora and Springfield Ohio.

You know what I mean? There are people talking about how they're getting harassed. They're getting their shit vandalized by people because people are so, there's a poll. Again, polls are like whatever, but a lot of the Republican respondents, over 50% were like, yeah, I probably believe that these immigrants are eating pets. And you're like, right. And then that is eating into it. Yeah, which like JD Vance flat out said that they made up. Yeah, right. Exactly.

But again, it's like, so just like miss me with this, someone is going to get hurt bullshit. Like these things are already happening and we're already ignoring them. Like, you know, pretty consistently. So like think about even that mass shooting that was in El Paso during the Trump administration, right? And he was talking about, we got an immigrant invasion coming and all this stuff and all this like, like fear mongering. That killer was like echoing that immigrant invasion rhetoric like in his own communication. So what, like, what are you actually talking about? This is just an embarrassingly weak attempt to appeal to people's decency from a group of people that have never extended that kind of grace to fucking anyone. So it reeks of desperation. And when like the when the people whose whole brand is we don't give a fuck if what we say is true or not. And if it actually gets people hurt to suddenly cry about it. Like to cry about out of control rhetoric. Come on. Like this is just, you tried this in July also, and people have the same feeling where they're like, this is really rich coming from you.

Well, yeah. When it's also, it's just, it's, it's rough to hear this kind of response from the same group of people who were saying stuff like, oh, school shootings are just a fact of life. You know, you just got used to them. Like it just feels like, Oh, you're not enraged about that. Like your only enragement affects you, or when you feel like you can use it for a political win. Right. I mean, look, if the media wants to cave to this fake outrage, I think we can come up with

a whole list of alternatives to threat or danger that would also work. Like legit criminal, So work like legit criminal sexual predator, uh, has mushroom, dick, racist, uh, creepiest father in America. Oh yes. Yeah. Yeah. No cap, no cap, no cap. Uh, some cap, mostly cap, but you know what I mean? Like, we'll, we'll, we'll see like where this goes.

I know there, everyone's looking to maybe Thursday when Kamala does a sit down with Oprah to see how, if there'll be any like direct response. But again, like this just feels like when the way JD Vance like, we got to knock this stuff off. Like quit, quit describing how bad he is for this country because it's going to get someone hurt. You're basically saying like, can you guys like stop your like campaigning? Did you stop talking? Can you just let us tell people how much our candidate sucks? Yeah.

It's not like, it's not right. Like why would you do that? Paso mass shooting is really unbelievable thing that happened and nobody really stopped to be like that. He said those things. This person listened and went and killed 22 people. It's amazing that it didn't cause the mainstream media to even really blink or change how they talked about this shit.

There's just like, yeah. I'd say the media does a really good job of ignoring terrible rhetoric from every angle. It's like again, JD Vance, I know things are hard right now. Dude, he just did it. He's speaking right now. As we record this, he is saying already, I'm sorry.

Let me just play a couple just gems already that he's saying he's doubling down on Haitian migrants. Look at this guy. I think he needs a geography lesson. Listen, listen to where Haitian immigrants come from. Is over the last few years, 20,000 migrants, primarily from Haitia, have been dropped into Springfield, Ohio. Jesus.

I'm sorry. That was going to be my joke answer of where I thought he was going to say they were from. Wow. JD, one more, just for the kids in the back. Primarily from Haitia have been dropped into Springfield, Ohio. Okay. Yeah.

So shout out all my back in Hayesha. And then, then he also said this, he's talking about RFK Jr. and then just there's another slip, just doesn't know who he's talking about, here's him talking about RFK Jr. I mean, we're very proud on our side to have the support of Bobby Kennedy Jr. and he's a great

guy, I've gotten to know him very well over the last few weeks. great guy, I've gotten to know him very well over the last few weeks. But I think in many ways, this country never healed from the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. No. Damn. When did that happen? Wow.

I didn't even know about that shit, bro. Hey, we're the precox from Minority Report at right now. Yeah, really fast news cycle that that wasn't covered. Holy shit. But anyway, so just very- I think the bear did it. I think it was the bear that did it. Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely.

Came back from the grave. All right, let's take a quick break and we'll come back and talk about an exciting investment opportunity. We'll be right back. talk about an exciting investment opportunity. We'll be right back. Daphne Caruana Galizia was a Maltese investigative journalist who on October 16th, 2017 was murdered.

Cold game. You don't have to tell them that though. You don't have to tell them. So yeah, as we covered in the pre, uh, before the break, Trump's probably going to win again. And I don't know. You're just really preparing yourself. Anybody who listens to our NBA show knows how I am about these things. Like with, as a 76ers fan, I'm just like, we're going to sock, it's over.

We're only going to win 20 games this year. Hey, that's our team captain, man. I love his fighting spirit. Fucking over dude. Why are you going out there? Why are you even going out there? So it does seem like it's probably time to start thinking about how we're all going to dress in the next four years.

To fit in so that we don't get killed in the authoritarian autocracy. Did you see Trump like get caught on a hot mic being like when Kim Jong-un stands, like people stand at attention, they stand up for him. I want that. I want that. Yeah. We're, we're all going to get killed. I'm having that.

But so there was a mega fashion show. Jack, it wasn't a fashion show. It was the America first designer showcase. Okay. Okay. It's a little, it's a little bit classier and yes, it wasn't wrong, Concomal, Long Island, strong Island at the America first warehouse, which is just some fucking warehouse with a bunch of Trump regalia in it.

And like magas go to have like Trump watch parties. So on Monday, about 200 people gathered to watch this America First designer showcase, which is just a fancy word for racist swap meet and talent show, I think based on the videos I saw. And people were peddling their wares like sequined MAGA hats and jackets, dresses, lipstick with the shade of MAGA hat red,

because like one of the designers like, you know, some women don't are ashamed to wear the MAGA hat in public. But with this lipstick, you can let people know it's like that's red lipstick. It's red lipstick, bitch. Don't get me messed up. Don't fuck that up for the rest of us. I wear bold red when I mean business. You know what I'm saying? It's not to be like, yes, I support racism. Like, that's not what I'm trying to.

Right, exactly. So you're telling me I need to not wear red lipstick ever again, sick. No, no, you are. Thanks, Trump. Look, they can't reclaim red lipstick, or maybe they can, but then there are also celebrities there, like a lady from As the World Turns, local politicians, and more than a few curious journalists.

Oh, and there are artists too, like Magda Langello, which I guess is some kind of Magda Angela Lansbury. I don't know. Or maybe a Magda Michelangelo. Yeah, that's probably what it is. I think it's Magda Michelangelo. Yeah, Michelangelo. Okay, I thought maybe it was Magda Angela Lansbury.

Magda Angela Lansbury. I don't know why, but she's like this artist who just paints Trump in like, he's a terrible artist. And like, I don't know if, but she's like this artist who just paints Trump in like, he's a terrible artist. Uh, and like, I don't know if we covered like one of those triptychs she made recently that was like auctioned off when it was like Trump as God casting Biden and Kamala Harris out of the Garden of Eden. But clearly this person doesn't know anything like, like terms of actual art composition, what a triptych, how it's even supposed to be like positioned and what the three panels meet.

It was just like a three, like a three billboard, just cacophony of colors. But there were fashions as well. So I think it's important. We take a look at some of the fashion. So first I just want to just, just to give you an idea of how like the intros were going and how much of just a flawless show this thing was. I'm just going to say got an MC that oh my goodness. Wow. Yeah. Here we go. This is yeah. Oh, yeah. Voice talent. True talent. Yeah. Our next designer is in here. designer and couture. She is being the models wearing her dresses are pageant winners.

Not only do Republicans and conservatives have beauty and brains, but they wear clothes well. No, no. Wow. God bless us. No. Yes. No. Wow. God bless us. God bless us. All right. So this is going to blow you guys' minds.

I heard she did not write any of that. She was just riffing that. No fucking way. Like, off the top of her head. Are you for real? Yeah, yeah. Her accent is so Long Island, it sounds Australian. Yeah.

Like, she's coming around. Around the world, yeah. Around the world. Is so Long Island it sounds Australian Around around the world around the world. I'm like our next designer The horseshoes They wear clothes as well Wow might that's such a such a thoughtful compliment to pay someone. I just think it's great that you're so smart and look good, and also you wear clothes as well. You wear clothes well. They also wear clothes well. Not just wear clothes.

Thank you for that compliment. Here is just a quick montage of some of the fashions, where you hear a Grammy Award winning vocalist who has like an explosion of feathers coming out of his dinner jacket, singing the national anthem along with some of the fashions of the evening. Okay, look at that. That's a big MAGA dress.

I don't know what the... What does that say on there? America's Comeback 2024. There's a Trump gown with just Trump straight, just says Trump on a black dress. Looking like a bottle of truff. Yeah, exactly. She looks like straight up truff.

She's rocking truffle sauce. That's exactly the same font. That's a bottle of truffle. Same vertical text coming down. This person coming down the aisle now, this is Magalangelou, this is Magalangelou. And I think she painted her own dress. Of course she did.

I like how you can see her spanks underneath it because her fucking slit is too high. What the fuck? This guy has like a car park jacket. So it's just somebody drew on regular clothes. Hey, come on, hey, it's more than that, dude. Why are you going to say that? It's just screen printing, right? It's actually acrylic paint, actually.

I think some people are literally painting shit on and other things are just putting patches on shitty dresses off of like Shein or something. This makes me feel a little bit better about, when I went to the Jersey Shore this summer and just going down the boardwalk, all the t-shirt stores were being Absolutely dominated by Trump versus Harris, right? But like that is his art art form, right? Yeah, that is the medium of his people is scream-printed logo t-shirt

Bad signs in general the amount of like homemade Trump signs I see in people's yards, especially as you're driving through the haulers and you're more in the country parts, people don't have a Trump flag even though there's Trump stores here everywhere. It'll literally be like, I have this old piece of cardboard and it's too big to burn, so I'm going to paint a picture on it and just let everybody know I think America's great. What is this scene that you paint on it and just let everybody know, I think America's great. What's on here? What is this scene that you've painted on it? Oh, I'll tell you about it later. Turn the camera off. Here's, but also I don't want to forget this was also a MAGA talent show.

Oh, and I, for me, I think the highlight was log cabin Republican and recording artists of the hit song, keep It Movin', parenthetical, cancel cancel culture, Lavari. Again, let's throw it to our emcee, who is like fucking absolutely just flawless when it comes to introducing people to really just have a nice flow and cadence to your delivery. Here is her bringing to the stage, Lavari. Let's give a loud applause to LaVarie.

Look at it, it's like 14 people. This motherfucker just got up. I'm sorry, her shoes don't fit. Oh, yeah, shuffle out. Okay, Kenny. No, no, like I just, just for her comfort. She looks like she's wearing shoes that are four sizes too big.

15 seconds of fast, where the fuck is LaVarie? Oh, here we go, here we go. Here we come. Y'all get ready. Here's LaVarie. All right. Oh, oh shit. The music just went out. Whoops. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, go. OK, there's a song. We're ready to make America great again. Yeah, it is the same song starting over again. Yeah, I think the DJ panicked and then stopped his song. Here, let's just hear some of his singing.

OK, I'm sorry. So it seems like he thought there was going to be lip syncing and like he didn't know he was like, oh shit, is this playing my actual voice? Yeah. I mean, I don't, I feel like the creative arts really exposes bigots. You know what I mean? Like in the best fucking way, like I get that these are not the best of the best in terms of like conservatives with who, oh sorry, that these are not the best of the best when it comes to conservatives who dabble in the arts, but I think it's like the

MAGA brand itself that creates this like echo chamber that's a custom built to insulate, like insulate the ego from realizing how bad shit is. So naturally when there's a showcase of these people, it's all the least creative and most literal nonsense you can think of. Like the guys hit songs like cancel culture or here's my Trump fashion, it's dressed with Trump on it. I wrote Trump on it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah's a, it says it wrote, I wrote Trump on it.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And it's sick, dude. It's fucking sick, man. Thanks, LaVarie. The end of his performance, he comes off stage and then there is five seconds of a whispered argument between him and the MC about where she's like, what happened? He's like, that wasn't the song that I was supposed to be singing. Oh, wow. I love that. Why did you give so many songs?

Did he come in with the wrong CD? Oh, no, that was the first performance he had amongst many. Also, I think he did an outfit change later and he came out in a dress coat that again like a bouquet of flowers superglued to the back of it. It was all very he's really doing his best. This is like a series of like RuPaul's drag waste mini challenges that I feel like he's a part of for he's like record your own song that's politically themed. Then we need you to come out with an outfit and it needs to have flowers and also represent Trump. And then for your last thing, we're gonna need political damage extravaganza.

Like just like. Right, right, right. Yeah. And you have to come up with it all in the next 15 minutes. You're on in 15. Done, done, done. Wow, I didn't know he came back out.

And that is a real testament to the human spirit that he was able to like go through what appeared to be the most embarrassing thing I've ever seen somebody have happened to them and be like, not so bad. I'll go back out. Yeah. But see, that's why Trump's going to win though, because it's that lack of self-awareness, it's that like unwillingness to be like shamed when you

should be ashamed of yourself to keep pushing. Like anybody who respects themselves be like, all right, I thought I could handle this, but no way I'm going to go out here and do this again. Yeah. Right. I'm sorry. Like lavatory. I loved your performance, but you need to stay home. You know what I mean? Let your career down lavatory. Definitely winning amongst people who failed the mirror test. You know, the test that they do with children to see if they recognize the thing in the mirror test. You know, the test that they do with like children to see if they recognize the thing in the mirror as themselves.

You know, like they lack any form of self-consciousness. Right, right, right. They're like, who's this weirdo? It's an interesting detail that like, that's when you start storing memories is once like the way they tested is they put a little like dot on the baby's head and then if the baby sees themselves in the mirror and then like touches the dot on their head to like wipe it off that means that they recognize that it's them in the mirror and there are some

monkeys who can do it as well. What about dogs? I don't think I'm gonna test my dog. Yes, past. What about magas? They also bark when they see themselves in the mirror. Hey who the fuck's that guy? Who the fuck is this dude? Who the fuck is this dude? There's this fucking guy outside. What's up staring at me? That's why he was so confused about what this song was.

He's like, that's not me. That's not me. It is, Lavatory. That is your song. No, dude, you recorded that earlier. He's like, I sound like Montell Jordan. That's not Montell Jordan. This is how we do it.

Cancel, cancel, culture. Miles, that was so much better. Both of what you guys did there was both so much better than anything he could do if you gave him a year in the studio with Drake's producers. Right. Oof, oof. I don't know why I picked Drake.

The best musician I can come up with, Drake. But a man who definitely writes all his own raps. 100 percent. No L's taken either with him. None. All right. Finally, proof of time travel, another person in the world of mega. Trump is averaging what someone called too many assassination attempts per month at this point. There's been one, two in the past three months. People should stop doing that. I feel like it's not good for the election. But I guess there was

a third one that we didn't know about. Technically, this would have been the second based on the sequence, chronology. The timeline. Yeah. The sequence thing. Yeah. And this is somebody, so you're about to hear from somebody who has been in the

same room with Donald Trump has been, like I said, has been, you know, trusted by Donald Trump. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And he, we can see why, because he has a direct line to because he has a direct line to God having conversations with God and their relationship his relationship to God very similar to like Marty McFly and Doc Brown. Yeah or Aladdin and the Genie. Yes

Yeah, definitely Aladdin the Genie type shit. So this guy Robin Bullock He went on some like this this like right-wing watch like dug this clip up because this guy goes on a fucking like Christian podcast to talk about. This was in the week before the, the, they found the guy at the golf course where he said he prevented an assassination attempt. And I'm just going to let him tell it to you because it's so believable. It's going to fucking shake you to your core. Yeah. So he's describing that he was like in a group, I think just, you know,

just doing some Bible study with people and then the fucking hand of God came down. And again, like I said, very believable. And I looked around, something had happened and I didn't know what had happened. And children started going to sleep in the room. They just started falling asleep. That might be because they're at a fucking Bible study, but okay, yeah, sir, God turned the lights down low.

Go ahead. And the camera that they were using started zooming in and zooming out. Then it just started doing like this. I think he's describing extreme close up from Wayne's world. Yeah. But OK. But again, this is God apparently operating the camera and he's looking at them.

Whatever. Go on. I'm sorry, pastor. Looking around, children are falling asleep. And I said again, and the Lord said, no, two hours in the future. What? Two hours? the Yeah. Wow. And so we stop this, this thing happening in the future. There it is. So do children need to be asleep for time travel to happen or just to stop assassinations

on trial? Look, look, look, look. Why is he on trial right now? Okay. He was, he opened up Bible and the lights went dim. The camera went, woo, woo, woo, woo. God said, you're two hours in the future. And I guess being two hours in the future, he said, we started dealing with some things, total lack of detail. And we stopped an assassination attempt. Yada, yada, yada. We stopped an assassination attempt on Donald Trump. Oh, OK.

Chris Angel, Mind Freak Show, has really taken a turn. Yeah. I didn't know that he had had a spiritual awakening. He looks a little rough. I'm not going to lie. But I know you got to look rough and then you find God and then God takes you back to moisturizer supposedly. I don't know.

But wow. So you guys, let's just shake this camera. We're two hours in the future. We're two hours in the future. Oh, we're two hours. I just stopped a presidential assassination attempt. Oh my God. We did start dealing with some things.

We're dealing with some things. Well, what specifically? So some things. So foggy there. And then so we, and then, so we, and then we're two hours in the future. Did God tell him they stopped an assassination attempt? They started doing- Yeah. God told him that he was two hours in the future.

Okay. But I think he- And then he intuited. Yes. He, and we've just stopped an assassination attempt. Yes. Oh, so you think he'd just be like, oh, just take my word for it, bro. I'm God. We're two hours in the future, and you stopped an assassination attempt. Yes. Oh, so you think he'd just be like, Oh, just take my word for it, bro.

I'm glad we're two hours in the future and you stopped an assassination attempt. Now go wake these kids up. I mean, I've hung out with Christians, like kind of freaking each other out being like, and then like the lights flickered and like, you know, and they'll just, you know, that that's what it felt like. Like the guy was just like, whoa, he was ready. Oh, he was very to be freaked out by that story. I mean, I just love the two like you can't.

I guess it's like rude to be like, no, man, bro, stop fucking lying, bro. You can go two hours to the fucking me like I like there's no shit about like that. When is God ever taking people time traveling, bro? And there's a type of Christianity, not all Christianity, but a type of Christianity that's just like, yes. And yeah, right. Right. Yes. And some wild, the least convincing ghost story you've ever heard. Oh, absolutely. Absolutely. Oh, that's so sick. You went two hours in the future and the camera went like this. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. The miracle of Christ's

love. Anyway, I think the FBI may need to talk about, may need to talk to this man. Right? I would pull up and be like, so what happened, bro? You said this happened, right? I need to know who the fuck, what was going on? Where? Like we need to bring people to justice. He's like, look, man, I ain't fucking time travel, dude.

I'm just fucking lying, bro. This is a fucking wig, man. I wear a leather jacket to seem different bro I'm naval lint I mean they bring in they bring in psychics and shit when cases start when they've exhausted they're like I don't know go get a psychic do we have a medium does a random medium know like let's go get the Christian guy that can turn back time. You know what I mean? Bring Sharon, bring Sharon. Exactly. Yeah, if you want to turn back time, it's gonna be in a leather jacket. It's not gonna be this motherfucker. It's Sharon on a fucking battleship. Exactly. Personally, what he's describing seems to be

just like taking a nap. Like everybody falls asleep and then it's two hours in the future. Like, yeah, man. Like I time travel like that. Bro, hey, hey, pastor, what are those pills you just took before you opened your Bible, bro? I was just saying, were there...

Those shit look like oxys. Were there edibles in the middle of that Bible? They're prescribed to somebody else. But, you know, I do have a prescription. Roxy music, Roxy code, I don't know, man. Anyway, not often. I have two hours in the future, and guess what? I wasn't, I didn't urinate myself

because I was high on opioids. I actually saved President Trump in that two hours, which future. And guess what? I wasn't, I didn't urinate myself because I was high on opioids. I actually saved president Trump in that two hours, which y'all don't know. That's a side effect of time travel. Well, now it makes sense. What happens to me at Costco? I eat 20, 30, 40 milligrams, you know, get in the car, go to Costco. Next thing I know, bam, I'm in the parking lot trying to fit everything in. And I'm like, who had, who bought all these burritos?

Why do I have so many snacks? Like, now I know. That's because you saved, you saved a president's life. I saved a president's life and I time traveled. Exactly. I just thought I was high at the store. Fascinating. God damn.
