jack o'brien aka let's see if i can get this done i was watching the vote count late one night When my eyes beheld a fraudulent sight
For suddenly, to my surprise
Joe Biden's votes began to rise
Oh, please God smash
Please smash the Democrats
Iron Rod smash
Throw liberal votes in the trash
Oh, please God smash
Socialism can't last
Oh, please God smash. Socialism can't last. Oh, please God smash.
We all voted for fascism.
Alright.
And I'm thrilled to be joined
Wait a second.
That was from Official Dickhead.
And I'm thrilled to be joined as always
by my co-host
Mr. Miles Gray!
Oh fuck. Okay, hold on. Here we go.
Oh, fuck. Oh, sorry.
That was fucking great.
Oh, fuck Biden.
You heard him. Wait.
Hold on. They're what?
They're counting the votes?
But what about in Pennsylvania?
I should be winning.
Oh, I'm losing there, too?
What about Arizona?
Fucking Fox called Arizona?
But I'm winning.
But I've got POTUS written across the belly.
Oh, fuck.
I've been cucked over, left for dead, distant, forgotten.
Votes got count.
They want me fucking gone bald and rotten.
Y'all just dissing me.
Shit on me.
Now it's a rave.
Talk about me.
Biden calls me Jack straight to my face.
Yells about suppressing voters down in Georgia.
Biden sneaks with volunteers or organizing thanks to Stacey.
Hey, Philly streets kept calling.
Gritty was in my sleep.
So what if I'm lazy?
Sound like a broken record.
T to me.
Look, I'm sorry.
Hold on.
Oh, fuck.
Give me some adrenochrome.
We're out of our fuck.
Oh, my God.
Thank you so much for Chrissy Yamaguchi, man.
For that, I couldn't even get through the whole verse
It takes a lot to try and spit a rap verse
As Trump
Because after a while
They run counter to each other
At a certain point
You start sounding like a country western singer
So thank you Christy Yamaguchi-Maine
For that one I seize ya
And we are thrilled to be joined in our third seat by one of the very faces on Mount Zeit
Moore.
He is the hilarious, the talented Billy Wayne Davis.
That was really fun to watch both of you guys do that.
Oh, thanks.
Oh, thanks, man.
You know, we're just doing what we got to do.
We're pros.
We're real pros.
I'm impressed that you got that far doing the impression and keeping the rhythm.
That's not hard.
That's not easy.
Well, yeah, because his cadence is like arrhythmic.
So it's hard to try and, you know, whatever.
But that is definitely a tough song to get the cadence to, let alone in Trump's voice.
I mean, try to do like the god you know gods are written across the belly
like try to do i approve you lost all right well not i couldn't that's too much
it's not easy really what's new man what's new okay i mean i'm i'm interested in the next
70 something days that's what's new yeah yeah i was down i thought it was funny this weekend
that's what i thought just the response well it was like the the day of everyone was like oh god
oh god and i was just i just kept checking and was my search. You'll see is like, I just kept checking.
Like, do they count the mail in after?
Oh, they counted after.
Okay.
Yeah.
All right.
The only thing that made me nervous and by the only thing, I mean, like one of a thousand
things.
Cause I totally, my brain is broken and I immediately go into like, we're fucked.
I catastrophize as it's known.
I catastrophize about Glocks and Keys.
Yeah, that sounds like you just,
was that Damon Wayans' character from In Living Color?
Oh, the dude in the prison who was talking about literacy?
He's like, you have to ejaculate.
Excuse me, ejaculate.
So funny.
But the fact that Florida had the mail-ins early,
and Florida's just off on its own shit,
but that's what would scare me on Tuesday into Wednesday morning,
but then I started feeling a little bit better once they called Arizona.
I thought it was funny, too.
People were like, I can't believe Latin people are voting for Trump i'm like you guys have you ever been to south florida they
they're openly racist there so right just say it like it's always and it's always if you ever
talked to my ex colombian mother-in-law come on it's always the same thing where people pundits
treat any group of voters that aren't white as like a monolith
And they're like we don't understand
But because border separations means
Anyone who is Hispanic
Should be voting against
That's how it works folks
But yeah it's just called
You're not actually engaging
What the base is
Or parts of your base are now
Got the wandering eye
It is a nice thing
that it it's makes everyone realize like oh every group has its turds yeah that's what he's done
we're like oh it is nice to be like hey you fuckers come on all right billy when we're gonna
get to know you a little bit better in a moment first we're gonna tell our listeners a couple of things we're talking about uh one thing that i hadn't fully thought about in a while is the fact that trump
like knows the country secrets like he knows all that ufo shit presumably um and he like he is
totally he is the most gossipy queen in the world. He's totally going to tell,
tell shit,
like tell everybody,
uh,
because he needs,
he needs people to like him.
So he's,
uh,
anything that they stupidly told him,
uh,
we're going to find out about presumably,
uh,
we're going to talk about bill bar.
We're going to talk about,
uh,
how the Republicans are going after each other.
The dead people and pets voting conspiracy theory that you keep hearing on the right.
We'll talk about the Mountain Dew cookbook.
And we're going to talk about the Fantastic Beasts movies if we have a second.
But first, Billy Wayne, we like to ask our guests,
what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are?
What does the solar company mean by trench?
Huh?
What does the solar company mean by trench?
Yeah, we had to get a new roof, and now we're getting solar.
And they were just very casual about the day.
And they're doing it today.
They were supposed to do it tomorrow,
but the dude showed up to
dig the trench today. So I was like,
yeah, go ahead. You guys seem
ready to do it.
To do this.
Why do they need to build a trench
around? I don't know yet.
I don't.
Is it like a moat?
I didn't want to ask him.
It's happening right now.
It's not as big as I thought it was going to be,
so I walked out and I was like, okay, that's good. Was that to get something from your service panel or something?
Yeah, I think what's happening is we have a little back garage
slash little studio.
Not like sounds, just like studio apartment.
But the roof is easier and faces to the right direction.
So I think what they're doing, if I understand it right,
they're putting the solar panels on the back wall.
Oh, right.
They got to get your line out to you.
Running the trench into the back.
Sounds about right.
Yeah, you're going to want to trench that.
You're going to want to trench that you're gonna want to
trench that uh for sure but it is impressive what they're doing because it's just three dudes
and i thought they would have a lot of equipment but no it's just them banging the shit just like
some shovels i mean there's a there there was like a saw that kind of broke through the concrete,
but then they just did it.
Yeah.
Wow.
Yeah.
That's some real shit.
If I'm in a bar fight, I've got their numbers.
That's who I'm calling.
That's awesome.
Are you getting the solar that is like replaces the roof tiles or
just like the solar that you put on the side of your house it's on the we had an old roof we had
to replace it right and then it's just going to be like these panels they put on wow pretty cool
that's they expand and stuff they're pretty neat wow very cool uh what is something you think
is underrated uh solar energy okay okay yeah yeah yeah um it's cheap right now right like it's cheap
to get it installed from what i understand the sun just comes out on it yes and the technology's
catching up where it doesn't they don't need like
a bazillion of them to run your house right yeah i remember when i was like uh back in the
campaigning days there's a ballot proposition i was working on back in fucking 2008 uh to try and
get more renewables in the state and like one of our you know sort of case studies we had to be
like no y'all don't understand. Like solar is fucking way more efficient.
We don't have to burn fucking coal or, you know, blow off mountaintops to get this shit.
You just, you know, it's the sun and we have deserts here in California where, you know, at the time the technology was something like, like a 10 mile, 10 square mile solar farm in the desert could have powered like most of the state and
oregon and washington uh you know if we had actually just had an updated transmission grid
and things like that but the problem is our grid is still fucking archaic uh in certain parts of
the countries and that's one of the things that really holds back our ability to transmit this
newer kind of energy. Yeah.
Do you think that fossil fuel companies probably know that and then that's why they buy politicians to prevent?
Yeah.
I think that it could be.
It was funny because we got this oil guy, T. Boone Pickens.
Oh, I know that motherfucker.
Yeah.
Yeah, T. Boone Pickens was basically one of the big, big cheerleaders for it because he was just
smart enough to be like, now the money's going to be in renewables.
I know where I came from, but if I'm looking at this shit down the road, there's a ticking
clock on this fossil fuel shit and the real money is going to be in renewables.
So we were like, he helped be sort of like, we would point to him like, you know, this guy, you know, he might also know about the solar stuff to get people who are a little bit more, I guess, you know, reluctant about how viable the energy source was.
of uh wind so wind and solar dudes and this guy was just he's like yeah we knew that that the oil people caught on to the future because it used to be just a bunch of hippies at this convention and
now motherfuckers in suits are everywhere he's like that's how we knew i was like huh that's That's interesting. Just the greatest name for an oil billionaire, T. Boone Pickens.
He owns a $250 million ranch in Texas that has levels.
It's like on top of a wedding cake of landscaping.
It's pretty dope looking.
Is there a musician named T-Bone something?
No, you're thinking of T-Bone Burnett.
T-Bone Burnett.
I think I've always called him T-Bone Pickens
because I had heard both those names
and mashed them together in my brain.
You're talking about T-Bone the bassist from Hall & Oates.
I don't think I am.
Little know.
Oh.
I'm talking about Hall & Oates fans out there. Hall & Oates. I don't think I am. Little know. From my Hall & Oates fans out there.
Hall & Oates and T-Bone.
If your name is Tony and you're cool,
you better go by T-Bone.
He was also in the SNL band.
Oh, okay.
From my bass heads out there.
What is something you think is
overrated?
Presidential debates.
Yeah.
What do you mean?
We're on the edge of our seat.
Why?
How?
Oh, I think it's pure theater because at this point,
we know how they act in front of a camera.
We know how they speak.
We know their policies.
We can just Google them. they're on their websites so at this point it
is clear that this is some kind of non-winnable roast battle that the that tv networks get to
profit off of yeah great ad great ad sales uh on those blocks if you go if you get your ad during
a debate you're getting eyeballed on that shit no that's clear i mean the vice presidential debate that's when it's like
you guys i just can't play along anymore this is the these guys don't we don't we're not even
voting for them yeah yeah but hey they created another yeah advertising block out of the vice
president that's impressive as a money thing,
but it'd be like if you and your friend,
you and some other dude were fighting,
like we're going to fist fight each other,
and before that, two of our buddies are going to fist fight
just to see, too.
And you're like, well, why are they fighting?
They're like, why is there an honor card?
Just buy a ticket, you piece of shit.
They're fighting.
The VP debate last time, the one with Tim Kaine,
was a debate that actually told me something
because I hadn't realized up until that
that Tim Kaine was actually a lizard person.
But then once I saw him speak Spanish...
A bilingual lizard person.
Right.
Once I saw him speak Spanish, I was like, Oh, he's,
he can't be a human being based on, uh,
just his,
the way he just like transitioned into being like,
Ola,
may almost Tim.
It was so,
so strange.
Uh,
such like,
he sounded like a guy who,
who was like doing duolingo before he went down to his,
like,
uh,
like meet a wife in
colombia trip and he's like hola yo soy tim kane i think you're mucha bonita
fuck i don't know anything else yeah no he just knows how to order at the
mexican restaurant when he's taking your mom out to dinner right
now hold on a minute i got it oh man he didn't he didn't deserve that but yeah
the the debates are just sort of like it's sure it's a very formal way of being like i guess we'll
agree to disagree or not agree to disagree we'll just disagree constantly with each other and
you'll not see any of us move at all and you'll
see us awkwardly avoid topics because our campaign staff has told us it's their third rails for
supporters in certain states so suddenly i will get all weird about fracking and you won't know
why and it seems like a very straightforward question i think what we should do to your point
billy is since we all know how they are on camera is like you do like a hidden
camera type thing where it's like they had like a week vacation but they didn't know they were
being taped the whole time it's like who is the real joe biden oh look at how he treats waitstaff
oh my god and then have a reckoning with that i think that's at least more entertaining and we
might he's actually like overly friendly and overly involved with his waitstaff to the point
that people are like i don don't know, man.
I don't really fuck with him.
He tries to go home with them and meet their family.
Yeah, when he started freaking the server.
Hey, what's the culture here at the Red Lobster near the mall?
Is it like a party culture?
Is it more mom and pop, like people trying to take care of their families?
What is the server culture here?
Who does a lot of cocaine here at Red Lobster?'re like all right in the back in the back all right
because you know they do you know there's one guy here that does too much and you're like joe
joe everybody here does yeah but why are you you're running for president don't
maybe talk about wages rather than trying to i.g who's got
the fucking fuego blow sack on him you can tell he has worked in a restaurant probably should be a
politician right right he gets hard drugs are for bartenders as the hold steady said yeah the just
listening to the cable news shows like try and analyze the second debate.
Like the first debate was a little different because Trump was just like on one.
Like and like, I don't know, revealed himself to be just too much.
And I do think much of a reveal.
Right.
But it was it was just very petulant.
Yeah.
Which I think most of us knew, so I don't know.
And when you look at the vote now,
who the fuck knows if that swayed a single person.
But the second one, it's just such...
You're right, it's just such surface-level stupid shit
that is all about how they deliver lines that don't
really mean anything to anybody or or you give the moderators more power to press them and like
not and it not be seen as disrespectful of the office because you're like no no hold i'm sorry
just i'm i have to put you on the spot yes or no and they do that sometimes and they go like
well but i'm like i'll take that as a yes and i would just be like okay y'all you see what he's
doing right here does everyone see this right now he's he's waffling we don't know what's going on
okay so we're just gonna lock that in moving on but you know if there's such decorum uh even when
even in the face of people who are just spurting out outright lies to the
national public well it just becomes clear that they're the same during those debates because
if they were truly opponents they would have something to argue about but they'd be like no
you're doing this this and this and this is but they're like on a foundational level they're the same candidate just one can understand how the government functions and operates right and
then the other one you know is a lunatic yeah well there's that moment where especially when
where trump's like you should see him he wants to defund the police he wants to get rid of the
police and joe was like no no i don't i want to shoot people
in the leg i love fracking okay yeah i love fracking and you you don't believe the cop ads
that you see from trump what happens when joe biden wins okay joe biden is the friend of the
police okay that's right uh all right guys let's take a quick break we'll be right back.
This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts separated by two months.
These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks.
President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today.
And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president.
One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman.
The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground.
Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore.
The story of one strange and violent summer.
This is Rip Current.
Available now with new episodes every Thursday.

You didn't figure it out?
I think I need to hear you say it.
That was live audio of a woman's nightmare.
This machine is approved and everything?
You're allowed to be doing this?
We passed the review board a year ago.
We're not hurting people.

Lighty Hoyt, Alison Roman,

that comes out every Thursday,
and it's serving up recipes that will make your mouth water. Think a candied bacon Bloody Mary,
tacos with cabbage slaw, curry cauliflower with almonds and mint, and cherry slab pie with vanilla
ice cream to top it all off. I mean, yum. I'm getting hungry. But if you're not sold yet,
we also have kitchen
tips like a foolproof way to grill the perfect burger and must-have products like the best cast
iron skillet to feel like a chef in your own kitchen. All you need to do is sign up at
katiecouric.com slash goodtaste. That's K-A-T-I-E-C-O-U-R-I-C dot com slash goodtaste.
I promise your taste buds will be happy you did.
And we're back. you know quoting insiders who say that like the the washington elite is very nervous about what
trump is going to be like as a ex-president above all things he is a xoxo gossip girl he does love
the tea he's still talking about how bad the vanity Fair party was that he didn't get invited to two years ago after the Oscars.
And he's going to exit office with all the intel
that they let him get his brain on.
And no fucks to give, which has always been the case.
But I don't know.
I feel like you put him in a room with any one of us
in a Bugs Bunny lady disguise,
and I bet we could get him to tell us who really killed JFK
with just some very light nagging and showing a little thigh.
Here's my problem.
Here's my problem with that.
You have to have a working understanding of how all that works
to truly know what the truth is especially
jfk right yeah that's true that dude doesn't he could tell us probably the name of the dudes that
pulled the triggers because they told him but like who those dudes were or who they were connected
like there's no way he knows and i i think they've been
letting the alien stuff out his whole presidency just because they're preparing us yes because
they're like he's gonna say some stupid so we've gotta just be able to just be like listen there
are some stuff we don't know about you guys are right what he's gonna say is not true so here's
just we're just gonna spoon feed he's gonna claim he rode in one of
those ships he's like you should have seen you know they let you ride in this stuff and we were
out there going bing bing bing around it was really it was fucking tight man i can't i can't
tell you enough um yeah i guess that or a neuralyzer or you know we'll we'll find out some wild shit. I guess he won't suddenly be trustworthy.
So that's one thing.
It's not like we'll suddenly believe what he has to say.
I think he also, the way he beat COVID
is probably going to reveal some medical stuff
that only fucking really, really rich people know about.
He didn't even know about.
Yeah.
They just hooked a, there was a baby hooked up to an ivy and then he was on the other end of that ivy um the yeah
what is he i mean between his like just his march into senility and things i'm curious how it you
know because it he is gonna do some shit like
that he's like oh why don't we talk about this thing that i when i was president because he's
actually gonna be this guy who was the president who has a fucking yeah who's like a twitter idiot
now who's just gonna be like just wholesale like say some weird fucking thing and how they get
around that i'm it's really hard to know i feel like if
he's smart he monetizes his the like the fact that he has this information and tries to like create
some kind of like subscription patreon podcast or something was like the t report with donald t
about all the things that went down at 1600 thanks guys and shout out to our sponsors my pillow for having us you know like i think
that's that seems like a way to continue like i'd give like he can play that chip for more
attention at some point he's like yeah okay i feel like that's attention is exactly right he's
going to be at his most dangerous not when like he's in trouble uh or like broke it's going to
be when people stop paying attention to him because that's
when he's going to go in on on twitter and like start you know dropping bombs telling uh telling
people things he shouldn't i could also see like you know how he's gonna have like a ken lay heart
attack too right right that's, you think Ken Lay,
now what is your,
so Ken Lay was the Enron CEO or president
who, while like as everybody was figuring out
exactly how much Enron was a pyramid scheme,
had a heart attack
and had the most convenient heart attack
in the history of the world.
Do you think that that was Ken Lay just kind of disappearing?
Yeah.
When you steal that much money, yeah.
You go, oh, bye.
I think he's too narcissistic to fake his own death.
Who, Trump?
Trump.
Okay, I was like, no, Ken Lay's. I think. Who? Trump? Trump. I think so.
I was like, no, Ken Lay is an evil motherfucker.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, Trump, I think, would do it.
But like two days, he would show up at his own funeral.
He wouldn't be able to resist.
And it's like, yeah, we're down.
Yeah.
He's like, look who I got with me.
It's like, who's that blonde woman?
It's JonBenet Ramsey.
Can you fucking believe it?
Look at her. She's fucking hot, huh? And we're like, who's that blonde woman? It's JonBenet Ramsey. Can you fucking believe it? Look at her.
She's fucking hot, huh?
And we're like, what is this?
Get the fuck out of here, please.
What the fuck is this?
I could also see the way that Obama and other former presidents sell out to corporations
and just having them in the pocket of a corporation is incredibly valuable.
I could see Trump doing that with foreign dictators.
Oh, my whole guess is he bounces
because he can't stay in America
because they'll arrest him for like 900 million things.
Yeah, I could definitely see a Putin relationship.
No, I think it's too cold.
He's old.
I think he's going to Dubai.
Uh-huh.
Okay.
I think he's hanging out there.
It's just a great place to be.
Oh, he'll do signings.
Yes.
Like in Vegas.
All those other criminal billionaires.
I mean, I tweeted this, but it is Arizona for criminal billionaires it's air i mean i tweeted this but
it is arizona for criminal billionaires is what do right right right yeah yeah yeah and it's
already set up to be right yeah it's everything's gold and awful it's just perfect for him wow
yeah dubai is really but then he'll be like he's like i don't know man it's kind of expensive you should see what they're trying to charge me he'll be like, he's like, I don't know, man, it's kind of expensive.
You should see what they're trying to charge me for rent here.
Because he's actually not a billionaire.
No, he would be a garbage person there.
Because he doesn't have real money.
That's why I think the way that Putin parks billions of dollars with the people around him,
I could see him cozying up to Putin to to try and get some of that some of that free laundering money well that's yeah that's
they still need that name now my fascination is why the the kids are still in this country
it's because they don't understand the hammer they're dumb they're dumb right the they think
i mean like maga yeah they think they're cool come and break them out of jail like that scene in SWAT.
Where the fucking bus taking them to fucking court is suddenly upended.
If that was us three, it'd be like that Bin Laden jet flying out of town.
Oh, yeah.
On 9-11.
That's exactly what that.
Yeah.
Bye.
I would have been out Monday before the election.
I'm like, I don't even.
Fuck that
Oh they're voting tomorrow
Oh wait you said record turnout for mail in already
Okay yeah I'm up out of here
Leave your fucking stuffed animals behind
We gotta get the fuck out of here
No I need that Louis Vuitton trunk
Put that in the jet
That's all I need
It's like the fucking
Anyway it's a sad state but
again with his thing is he he can't be seen as a like a loser and that's really all the reports
you read about everything to do with this like dragging on transition is all to do with managing
his like idea of or his fear of being painted as a loser in this election and i like as they say all this
scrambling is about him getting over this first right then yeah it's all mentally like giving him
a life vest like the bill barr thing is in particular is pretty interesting because
it's basically bill barr being like you're allowed to investigate if there's stuff to investigate,
but not committing to it.
So it's very similar to Mitch McConnell's statement where he was like,
McConnell's like,
he's in every right to look at his legal options.
If there are cases of,
and they're all using that as like a,
you know,
if there's fraud,
then he should look into it.
But you know, the, because if there's fraud then he should look into it but you know the because
there's not fraud then but he still gets to feel like the winner like he's it's like he's a little
kid and he's sitting on the dock and his his fishing pole and his line is in the middle of a
dry pond it all is and all is well if it's biting you should reel it in. And they're like, well, his whole thing is, you know, in the beginning, people were not sure where the DOJ was going to go with this.
Just how far is Bill Barr willing to go?
And, you know, he did this last time like the last year was spent with him going on a fucking expedition to try and find
some evidence of impropriety that the president was fucking violated uh when the intelligence
organizations were looking into any foreign interference and like that's what they're like
we need that to negate all the russia stuff and then we can say that like he was treated unfairly
please and then like maybe that one narrow carter page-Fiza thing, we'll hang on to that too.
And maybe we can just disprove everything.
Remember, they found fuck all, even though they did everything they could.
Durham, his man, his attorney from DOJ did everything he could.
But in the end, it was like, yo, we can't find a fucking, like, honestly, like, there's fucking nothing here. Like, these people just
did their job based on the evidence that
we're looking at is the same shit. So,
it's like, oh, okay, this is the same thing,
but this is even just, like, lamer
because he's not even, like,
all this was is
sort of articulating
a new policy, and even
then, it gets very, very,
like, detailed in that it's sort of more like
you know if it has to be credible it can't be fanciful and fucking stupid like he's already
even defining like it's got to be legit like don't you can't even fucking go off of some shit some
person on one america news forwarded you a fucking chain email about like it has to be fucking substantive and also
have potential to change the outcome of the election which none of these things do so it
really is like a i think you know whatever if it's bar like is really trying at the very least
or most is that it just gives trump this ability to be like look look, I didn't lose. Look, you see what DOJ is doing.
Bill Barr, he's saying he's allowing people to look into fraud.
So I'm not actually a loser.
It's all because he can't say I lost.
All he needs to do is say he lost.
Well, they're giving him legal Xanax is what they're doing.
Right, because it doesn't actually solve your problems.
No, it doesn't.
It just makes you.
You're just like man i'm
not freaking out about how owned i got right now right and also what i do last night look exactly
and then it's like it's like it's it's it's like if a bear is inside your condo in the woods okay
and you're like all right let's just tranquilize him right and then once he finally
falls asleep and it'll take a couple weeks but then we can move him out completely right right
right he's just because right now he's on one i don't yeah and they're like there's expensive
stuff in there and there's that red button he still doesn't understand what the power of that red phone thank god
there's just like a lot of plugged it keeps picking it up and asking for a diet coke
and thank god he can't read because those things we deliver to him every morning good oh my god
lord there's so much imagine if you read those secrets i said that three years ago was like if
he read just on you can tell he's a bad business person just because from that information alone, if you knew how to do business good.
Right.
The thing that's also really just sad, or whatever, we can celebrate, these lawsuits too.
The reason Bill Barr is coming in is because the lawsuits from the campaign are fucking just failing left and right like they they hedge their bets with voter
suppression that's really what was going on they were hoping voter suppression was all they needed
to eke out those margins on election day and then their backup plans of like more crude fuckery they
didn't even set up legally with enough time like to whether change
like the how the electors were chosen and things like that all that's out the window so now they're
just dealing with like these really lame fucking lawsuits like in arizona where so much energy is
being spent from the right to be like i don't know you know it's really close biden is ahead by 14,000
votes at the moment in a. Here's my theory.
What happened was they were going against Hillary four years ago.
So they had to back Trump with all these apparatus and all this power and mechanisms and these judges and all that stuff.
This time, they've already got their man.
They've got Biden.
He's in their pocket.
Big business has moved in yeah and these judges
and all those things they put in they don't give a fuck about trump right this is their their their
they were worried about their job four years ago trump has nothing to do with their job now
so they don't yeah they're not appeasing any of those. Like, well, yeah, it's just this, they're massaging dickhead until he can leave.
Well, even, even if they tried, right.
Cause I know like, I was like, well, fuck, you know, who knows what these judges are
going to do.
I mean, even when you look at the cases that are brought, like even a judge who wanted
Trump could win.
It's like, it's just impossible.
So this, the last suit in Arizona.
That's what I mean by protect their job.
Yeah.
It's like, they can't even be like, listen, man't even be corrupt right now it's just like it's just they're
like i'd have to invent i'm doing this corruptly i would have to say that out loud if i did it
i would redefine the concept of mathematics this is a this is a just a bridge too far for me
so their whole thing in arizona was all this thing over overvotes where like
ballots are coming through and they're saying like,
well,
it could have voted for two candidates or double the one candidate and et
cetera,
et cetera.
We need to actually get through these overvotes.
And you know that it sounds all nefarious and shit like that.
But realistically,
it's typically just something where there's a pen mark or a dark smudge and
the vote counting machine flags it.
And they're like, oh, a human needs to audit this ballot and just confirm.
OK, no, that's where the vote is for this person. It's marked.
This other thing just triggered the machine to read like that. And great. Put it through. Done.
So the Trump campaign is like, man, we got look.
campaign is like man we got look so of the 155 000 votes that were cast in person in this one county uh like the the person who's in charge of the elections bureau they're saying like the the
vote counting machine only flagged 180 potential overvotes out of the 155 000 one in a thousand
yeah yes and and even like even then when they go through there like they were able to correct them
so they're saying even if you wanted to go with this argument, your lead that you're trying to overturn is 14000 votes.
And here you can only say that there you may need to review 180 votes.
Then they're just like, simply put, there is nothing here.
There's no there's nothing that could even approach the margins that you're looking for.
So it's...
Well, it's like borderline masochistic at this point.
Because you're like, the more he's like,
no, I need more facts and this and that.
It's like, okay, but the more they reveal,
the harder you got your ass kicked, dude.
That is like...
Yeah.
It's getting sad.
It reminds me of talking to a jfk conspiracy
theorist like i interviewed this one jfk conspiracy theorist who had like written books and was like
had built his career on being a jfk conspiracy theorist and i put this theory that i believe
in in front of him where it's like an errant shot from a secret service agent that actually killed him
and he was like no no no and then like just brought up like all these like other random
unrelated facts that had would have had nothing to do with anything but are just like things that
you could be like that's suspicious right like that their theory of the case on this voting is
that they overvote they made their ballot suspicious in order to cheat on the like at
the election like why would why would you over vote for two people as a way of cheating at an
election is that like their theory of what happened jack o'brien this
is alex jones um now now what i like to do on my show is i'll take something i've read and then
connect it with another thing i read that has nothing to do with anything and i am the missing
link to everything that's exactly what they're doing it's the same i love you alex jones
i like you too rogan clip did you see that's the same i love you alex jones
did you see that what he said i love you alex jones thanks so much oh shit yeah i think he's probably charismatic in the room if we're being honest i bet he's
a bit i bet it's hard not to grin at him i bet look before like he revealed all the like weird political shit i
bet he you'd be like yo you partied with alex before he's a fucking oh he was my little secret
for until he went until i till i learned that people listened to him like he was telling you
the truth like he was just this day i was like this is the funniest fucking radio show i've ever
heard you guys.
Right, right, right.
And then people were like, no, he's telling the truth.
And I'm like, no, every now and then he is.
But most of the time, he's just saying stuff.
It's like a lot of people who would listen to Art Bell who would be like, I fuck with Info Wars, too.
Because it's just like, it's out there, man.
Yes!
That's exactly what it was.
And then people were like, no, it's real.
Oh, no.
No, no, no.
That's exactly what it was.
And then people were like, no, it's real.
Oh, no.
No, no, no.
Yeah, that's like, that was just funny about Art Bell,
because you'd have guests on who were like,
with their chests out, they're like, I'm telling you,
I went underground to the subterranean world and fought the lizard people.
And you're like, this is great.
My favorite Art Bell one is where this dude is convinced
he shot a Sasquatch in Oklahoma but it's pretty clear we
think he shot a dude is me my friend are listed on the way home from a gig one night and it's
just it's on like he failed it he's like this is my favorite one and we're list I was like that
dude shot a man he's like that's what I've always thought he's still processing a guy with a beard yeah the gop another kind of theory that they have or a
thing that's gone viral because i as we were talking about like right-wing media the conservative
world is going wild right now like the number one app is that conservative twitter and like the podcast charts
are being lit up by like dan bongino and uh what's that other asshole ben shapiro but how many of it
is like curious motherfuckers on the left yeah going to hear what they have to say start yeah
we're trying to who want to crip walk on some podcasts real quick. If you look at Twitter, if you look at any left or right,
if you look at their replies, it's just the other side.
Right.
Yeah, yeah.
But another thing that's going viral on that side,
Newt Gingrich and others have claimed that scores of deceased people
voted in Michigan, and this was followed by a viral document containing
who voted for biden either due to fraud or some kind of uh necromancy spell but cnn so cnn just
like took a sample of 50 of the names on the list and found that 37 were dead but hadn't voted the rest are alive and some of the alive
ones didn't even vote lindsey graham and rudy giuliani so like they didn't have a single example
like just pulling a random list of 50 of them it's just names that's all it is it's names of
some dead people some living people who voted.
It's just an old copy of a Studio 54 VIP list.
You know what is odd?
Roy Cohn's on here, too.
Roy Cohn, Drew Barrymore, Brooke Shields.
Lindsey Graham and Rudy Giuliani claim they have evidence that dead voted in pennsylvania but they haven't proved it yet there is one woman who's going viral who died
in october uh october 22nd her daughter was like yeah she filled out her ballot before
she died and sent it in and also she voted for trump so it's like they can't they can't find a
single fucking example of the thing that of something that would even like remotely be
something they could uh argue about that's but that's what i'm talking about like they don't
have that apparatus behind them that can. Yeah.
Like, now it's just Rudy Giuliani and that sex offender in front of the landscaping place where they're just like,
Ah, yeah, what's up?
You're not Borat, are you?
You have to say that.
Legally, you have to tell me if you're Borat. You have to tell me you have to tell me hey before i get on this bed and pull my pants
off and jack off you're not borat are you god sorin buoy tweeted the other day that uh he feels
sorry for rudy because every time he tucks in his shirt he has to lay down on a bed going forward
just to make it seem like that's how he tucks in his shirt he has to lay down on a bed going forward just to just to make it seem like
that's how he tucks his shirt in oh man oh shit it's fucked up i mean yeah the the celebrations
it's just funny like all we can do is laugh and like to billy's point the people who are
responding on twitter it's all people who are just just dancing on conservative twitter graves at the moment i
mean there's just tons of accounts that are just dedicated to to this content like you're saying
the levels they're going to right of like denial some are like okay this person's just full of
shit and they're having to say stuff mike pompeo he was asked earlier uh on tuesday like what he thought about like going into this next administration
yo this man is straight up i don't know i just want to get everyone's read on how mike pompeo
answered this question uh in regards to you know all this chaos with the transitions going on
you know how how he sees the transition going into this Biden
administration. And this is what this man said. There will be a smooth transition to a second
Trump administration. All right, we're ready. The world is watching what's taking place here.
We're going to count all the votes. When the process is complete, there'll be electors selected.
There's a process. The Constitution lays it out pretty clearly. The world should have every confidence that the transition necessary to make sure that
the State Department is functional today, successful today, and successful with a President
who's in office on January 20th, a minute after noon, will also be successful.
I went through a transition on the front, and I've been on the other side of this.
I'm very confident that we will do all the things that are necessary to make sure that the government, the United States government, will continue to perform its national security function as we go forward.
Okay.
Okay.
That's fucking terrifying.
Holy shit.
What's his title?
Secretary of State.
That's the Secretary of State?
Yep, that's the Secretary of State.
He's not a good statesman
to begin with uh can we just talk about just he's not good at deflection uh the line i don't think
he meant to say trump administration i don't think i think as soon as he said that he was like
i think he was trying to appease and he's used to kissing his ass
and i think it i think it came out and then i think he you because he was very confident up
until he said that and then after the trump administration transition line then that's
when he starts bumbling i think he was so used to being having to say and then do the loyalty thing
either way it's just like it's there's a level of magical thinking because and it starts off
where he's like you know i'm gonna count he seemed like like a nervous fox pundit because
that seems to be the thing that everyone just doesn't want to like right now no one wants to
cross the president right now in this phase of his anger apparently and chris coons was saying that uh like other
republican senators were calling him being like hey like low-key can you tell joe biden like i
said congrats dude like because you know i can't really say that shit publicly right now because
i'll get fucking smoked and coons was saying that on cnn he was like yo i'm getting calls from these
fucking coward ass clowns trying to fucking have me pass notes to biden i'm like this
is fucking dumb but pompeo you know he's he's he's on that uh like rapture end of the world
you know belief shit too so he's got it in him to maybe think that like his thoughts and prayers may
reverse the course as michelle bogman says may the iron rod come down and smash the clay jar
of deception that says father b Biden is a father of America.
But yeah, everyone's handling it differently.
We've talked about the possibility that they could send different electors to vote, like the 20 Pennsylvania electors for the Electoral College.
the electoral college if they had like made a case that there was fraud they could have sent their own electors to like vote for trump and then there would be like a it would basically end up at the
supreme court um he sounds confident that that's gonna happen like that seems to be what he's
saying that's what they're but they're saying that because that's what they're telling the president
every legal person is like that ain't happening like it like especially in pennsylvania
the governor there is a democrat so he could veto something if the legislature wanted to
fuck around and change things like it's that's already legally very tenuous what they would try
to do now because everyone's pointing the fact that if they were going to try and set up things
where they could suddenly be like well no matter what the popular vote outcome is we were going to try and set up things where they could suddenly be like, well, no matter what the popular vote outcome is, we're going to choose the electors.
They would have had to do that prior to the election.
And so like there's no way to remedy that at this point.
So there's a lot of like that talk about it is just a lot of projecting confidence in regards to that, because ultimately, like with these other states where once they certify who those who the winners are, that party sends their own electors like each party selects their electors.
And then so the winning party, once the election or the results are certified, that's who sends their electors.
Like it can't be the Democrats win the state of Pennsylvania and then the Republicans send their electors.
Just a smooth machine like a Porsche engine.
You know what I mean?
Just the way our democracy runs.
Yeah.
It's just fucking, I don't know.
It's just so weird.
That's why you watch this shit and they're like,
they're just so gassed up on this weird ass confidence
they had the last four years that they're not,
like some people are very clearly being like,
I got to get my resume out here. Maybe I can have some kind of career other people are like fuck maybe i'll just go pedal to the metal and like whenever trump creates this super pack that
everyone's talking about he'll make sure to like always give me the blessing as i run for office
but uh no i think you're right i think there are that there's a large faction that
really understands power dynamics and they were fleeing and playing and saving face and doing that
quietly and then i think there are people like you're talking about where it's like it's like
they're like uh john c raleigh's character and stepbrothers where he's like nah dude my dad's a doctor i'm a doctor it's about
who you know it's cool like i do think like there is that like it's cool man this is just everything
it's a little corrupt but it's how it'll work out and you're like no you were a patsy and you're
going to jail you fucking idiot right i hope so i think a lot i think some people will go to jail i think other
people will not go to jail i think a lot of that has to do with how smart and dumb and it's not
going to be in the ways that people think it's like oh the dumb person because they were dumb
they didn't know anything so they got away with it yeah and the smart people overthought and thought
the dumb person was a smart person and now they're going to jail.
Senate in 1948.
And like,
that's the only way you could conceivably commit voter fraud because you,
he was able to do it at like one voting location or like in one County. Like the voting system is so diffuse and so not centrally located that it's
impossible for them to like pull anything off. Like what the, it's easier to them to pull anything off.
It's easier to just print money
for the government
and just create this fake wealth
than to even create
a voter in 2K
that you can suddenly be like,
yo, I got a thousand voters I just made up.
You pull up, they're like,
who the fuck are you? Where's your ID?
Okay, oh, and then they know if you're eligible or not.
It's very, I don't know, like, so this idea.
My whole thing, okay, my thing about that is, like,
this thing has all my bank information on it.
Right.
Why is that okay?
Why is all my fucking livelihood in this fucking phone safe,
but I can't vote on it?
That doesn't make any fucking sense.
Yeah.
Sorry about all the cussing, but...
Well, that's fine.
This is a Christian podcast,
but we realize that these are words that God created.
Well, I saw the Coke Brothers sponsor it,
so that's why I came on.
Yeah, yeah.
Absolutely.
Yeah, I mean, Lindsey Graham basically
told on the Republican Party the other day.
He was like,
if they keep voting by mail,
there will never be another Republican president elected.
Yeah.
It's basically, if you let people vote too easily,
then we'll never get anybody elected.
We have to choose who gets to vote.
I saw that, and all I could think about was,
he's every white guy in every sports movie.
Like, the blacks can't swim in our pool.
Like that Bill Burr joke.
It's just like that's all I heard was like, dude, it's 2020.
You can't be on TV being like, if the blacks play, my sons can't play.
Right.
Right.
That's what he's saying. or brian kent being like every
legal vote will be counted and you're like i hear you loud and clear i already know what the fuck
this is about and most people do as well and now you're wondering it's like but we're deracializing
it it's like yeah because objectively racism is abhorrent to a lot of people that's the problem
i don't think maybe you should do a little more market research on racism and see how that's working.
A, it's doing great in some places.
But if you're going in straight majorities, it's not a good brand.
The brand is failing a bit.
It's still strong.
It's also confusing about who to hate because there's more people to hate.
So people are just getting tired and they're just not being racist anymore okay right even like robert evans was like tweeting
today about how the proud boys are infighting because they're like we shouldn't have like a
hispanic guy leading it it should be all like they're like we just need to be straight nazis
now everyone's they're all have everyone's having a fucking hard time they're like you know even
their their token allies that they use to you you know, sort of deflect any accusations of racism.
They're just like, fuck it.
We get the time.
We need this mask all the way off, bro.
We don't have time.
But yeah, sorry.
Good.
All right.
Let's take a quick break.
We'll be right back.
This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts, separated by two months.
These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks.
President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today.
And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president.
One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson.
I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman.
The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary
underground.
Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore.

And we're back.
And it took everything I had to hold this story
until this late in the show.
This is the most important story
maybe we've ever covered on this show um the
mountain dew cookbook is coming you guys uh they thank god thank god the so the the quote from
mountain dew the relationship between mountain dew and our fandom is the most exciting partnership, and we've continued to draw inspiration
from these amazing people.
Our fans have been creating delicious,
outrageous, and genuinely mind-blowing recipes
with Mountain Dew for years.
In many ways, this is the long overdue love letter
to those beautiful, edible creations
and the people behind them i love that they could
couldn't bring them to say anything beyond edible they're not beautiful so it looks beautiful
edible um technically you won't die if you eat it there was a lawyer involved that was like yeah
right edible is that say edible Beautiful is even a stretch too,
because it depends.
We'll get sued.
I definitely don't, as a fan of Mountain Dew,
the beverage.
As someone of the Jewish faith.
Yes, as a Jewish person myself.
The type of Judea.
I don't get any of this at all.
Like I've never, the only form of Mountain Dew I like
is as a ice cold beverage that I'm shotgunning into my head.
I don't.
Yeah, it's a hippie speedball is what it is.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You smoke a joint and you drink a Mountain Dew
and things are all right for the day.
There you go.
These recipes,
that's where your mental
gears start going and you're like,
fuck yeah, Mountain Dew as a
culture.
You know what I mean?
We fuck with the Dew culture,
but the cuisine,
when you're eating stuff like Mountain Dew pancakes
with Mountain Dew
syrup, which I'm assuming is just reduced like Mountain Dew pancakes? With Mountain Dew syrup,
which I'm assuming is just reduced down Mountain Dew sludge.
I was going to say, what is that?
Because that's what Mountain Dew is to begin with.
Right, it starts as syrup, ends as syrup.
So what do you do?
Just low boil it, basically?
Like those experiments that are on YouTube.
You want to see how much crapps in a Coca-Cola,
boil it down, but then you get Dew syrup.
I mean-
Well, I remember when like all the other new flavors
of Dew came out.
I remember thinking like, was this not enough, you guys?
Right, right, right.
This is plenty.
This has more caffeine than coffee, and it has sugar.
Yeah, but that's because you haven't tasted the mountain
dew uh toaster pastries yeah or code red brisket you know no that's so gross come on code red
brisket okay fine how about mountain dew infused pickles uh-huh no? Mountain Dew green eggs and ham?
Like what the fuck? Any savory thing that incorporates Mountain Dew,
I need you to stop.
I feel like the Koch brothers did this
so that we would all eventually be like,
you know what, if people were doing it,
we don't need healthcare for everybody.
They're specifically targeting me
to try and drain the will to live.
Just by the end of us talking about this,
you know what, if people were doing it,
no, I'm not paying for their health.
Yeah.
You picked a side, asshole.
It's really, it's so funny because it's funny how we just went from like, fuck yeah.
And then we started reading it and we're like, I don't know about any of this shit.
I think, again, because it's just about the culture.
It's about do culture.
And that's what we're realizing.
Mountain Dew, read the room.
We support do culture, but not the culture. It's about do culture, and that's what we're realizing. Mountain Dew, read the room.
We support do culture, but not the cuisine.
Yeah.
Although, I want to try it, though.
I'm not going to say I'm not going to try it,
but these aren't appetizing descriptions.
Made fun of deep-fried Twinkies for years, and then I had one,
and it is one of the best things I've ever eaten in my whole life.
Okay, but how did you, hearing that, right?
I hear that, and I'm like, fine, fry anything. It's all good. What, to you,
what was your first resistance to the
concept of a deep-fried Twinkie? I'm just trying to
see if we can follow the same path towards
the night man. I think it was that thing, the same thing
with the Mountain Dew
when they did the Code Red and all that. It was the same
thought of like, dude, it's already fucking
a lot. Yeah.
Oh, right. So why do we have to do this
are we and then you do it oh because it made it better oh okay my bad my bad gamer fuel gamers
are not amped up enough um i'm just need to see what this oh my my... I don't know. It's hard to know what's a real
recipe.
What's photoshopped.
Or what's just like a troll post from Reddit
when people are like, yeah, I made some dew
eggs and someone's just pouring Mountain Dew
on a fucking egg.
Please treat this with respect.
We're trying to get to the bottom of this.
Look what I did. It's chili
with Mountain Dew in it in it look you're drunk
and finally we wanted to uh just update people real quick on the fantastic beasts movies because
those are still happening apparently um johnny depp was fired or asked to resign from the upcoming newest Fantastic Beasts movie.
Basically, it seems like a court found his claim that he was abusive to be wanting and basically threw out his defamation lawsuit.
So it seems like he really did that shit.
People like J.K. Rowling and the film's director
up to this point had vehemently defended Johnny Depp
and claimed they had some kind of secret exonerating information
that the public couldn't be made aware of for some reason.
David Yates, who i was trying to figure
out like what else he's directed um but it seems like he was just like directed some tv in the uk
and then uh harry potter movies but he dismissed amber heard's claims as one person who took a pop
at depth and claimed something.
Whatever accusation was out there doesn't tally with the kind of human being I've been working with.
And J.K. Rowling also, in addition to just being a huge creep,
was also defending him.
Yeah, there's also just all sorts of other shit.
Like Eddie Redmayne publicly defended J.K. Rowling,
claiming that the vitriol against her was absolutely disgusting.
He was like, what she said about trans people was disgusting,
and so is the vitriol against her.
Which is, yeah.
That's just all he's saying there is like, two wrongs don't make a right, which is like, that's pretty.
He just said it in an actor-y way.
Right, yeah.
I don't like defending actors, but that's what he was saying.
What happened with this whole lawsuit?
I'm not even clear because I thought at one point,
the pendulum started swinging the other direction
when Amber Heard was also admitting that she was physically violent with him.
And then this whole I'm like, that's I don't know what to fucking say about this, because I don't know what the what the actual dynamics are of their relationship.
I know he lost that lawsuit, but then there were there were other things counter to things that were going on during this entire court ordeal.
Yeah, to me, my whole opinion on this one is they've obviously removed him because he's going to be a distraction from the film.
To me, it doesn't really...
First of all, I'm with Miles where it's like, I've just heard bits and pieces about the whole thing.
Yeah.
And it's, everything I read, it just, it screams like there's a lot of publicists on both sides involved, which makes everything fucking bullshit.
Right.
And then you get movies and J.K. Rowling, and it's just like, it sounds, it's like that stew that miles made the other day,
but of just horse shit.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
A little bit better.
Yeah.
Cause I,
I don't know.
That's all this shit's a fucking mess.
Like,
does anybody want to see these movies anymore?
Like,
I feel like I haven't seen the Harry Potter ones because they came out when I was an adult.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Same.
And I was,
I was,
when the books came out,
I was a cynical weed smoking teen.
And I was like laughing at people my age reading the book.
I wasn't just a shit.
I was a shitty person in the era of Harry Potter.
I was like,
sorry,
I'm not,
I'm not innocent enough for this to capture my imagination.
Like,
I'm like,
I'm out here reading confessions of an economic hit man or some shit right uh but yeah the the movie i don't know are the movies even making money
they i know like first one did because it was still like people were like it's gonna be just
as good as harry potter and then the second one had a huge drop off and people think it might be
like that that's a pattern they've been seeing where the second one still does
enough that it's uh you know worth making the third one but the third one is where it really
uh becomes clear that nobody wants to fucking see a single frame of this hangover theory yeah like
they the examples they gave was the divergent series i think hangover three is a
good example the terminator reboots the new x-men series it was like do not get me wrong i am not mad
at any of those funny funny motherfuckers for making a ton of money on hangover three it was
just not meant to be seen by people i don't think that's the lesson we learned on that the second
one was pretty rough i think that's what happened with that one people are like yeah we're we're out
um anyways uh movies might be a thing soon who knows if if uh we're able to get this vaccine out in a boot um all right guys that is gonna do it for today billy
wayne uh as always pleasure having you where can people find you and follow you google billy wayne
davis and all that stuff whatever you choose to interact with i'll be there. Also, give my cannabis podcast a chance.
It's called Grown Local.
This season, we're in season two.
We're in Humboldt County.
We have moved from northern Humboldt down to southern Humboldt,
which is where it all started.
The whole marijuana scene in America started,
and the season got longer because they've opened their arms to us.
Oh, that's awesome.
And we have to go back up and do more interviews.
And allegedly one of the first dudes to ever start growing up there wants to talk to us.
So just put good vibes out.
We get to talk to that guy.
Wasn't there like a lot of high murder rate in Humboldt County at some point?
Well, anywhere.
It's not the high murder rate it's the
motherfuckers come up there and disappear right yeah it's it's anywhere where there's just a bunch
of woods like that got it yeah yeah and like not a police station for miles yeah yeah it's just like
yes i think per capita people disappear more but some people don't want to be found too it's just like yes i think per capita people disappear more but some people don't want to
be found too it's like alaska has that same problem yeah yeah alaska is so big
um i have no idea it's frightening is there a tweet or some other work of social media you've
been enjoying yes yes yes yes my do you know who ray coombe is i think so he's i mean he's not for everyone i'll say that
uh but the his takes on things make me laugh so hard it's ray coop c-u-m-p stop bringing up guys
to replace trebek who obviously don't lay pipe trebek laid laid pipe hard. Let's have some respect for that fact.
Oh, shit.
Because everyone wants Ken Jennings right now?
They're taking a shot at Ken Jennings' piping skills?
No, I think he's saying Ken Jennings for sure lays pipe.
I think the rest of them are garbage.
I think that's what he's saying.
I've not heard of anyone aside from Ken Jennings.
Were they putting up some?
Alex Schmidt, I think, has been bandied about by a bunch of cracked people.
Oh, don't come after him.
They call him fucking Mario Brothers, the way this motherfucker laying pipe.
I've always said Alex Schmidt enters every room he walks into cock first.
Yes.
I've always said that.
Consummate cocksman.
I mean, he's the head of the pipe fitters local 250
You know what I mean
I think those should be
1A and 1B in terms of
Who they're choosing
From
Or do they just lean into it the other way
Nah it should be someone with a little bit of
You can't just you can't meddle with Jeopardy
What you're gonna say like
A real dummy?
Yeah, I don't know.
Like Pat Sajak?
They give it to Pat Sajak?
That sounds so stupid.
Yeah, I don't know.
Or somebody who, I guess, who lays so much pipe.
We don't know if Alex was smart or not.
Right.
He just, we don't know.
He just handled the questions well.
Yeah.
Right, right, right.
Have you ever seen the behind the scenes of him
hammering beers uh while doing like reads of uh like promos in the 80s it's pretty cool
he's oh just like what in between just being like yeah just being like
like you can watch jeopardy on wbir tv knoxville tennessee yeah yeah yeah cans too yeah i mean you got to
come with the heat because the way you i trebek definitely lays pipe because we definitely know
just off the energy of losers in other words i mean even pull up with say something like that
you fuck you're fucking that's right oh that's some pipe fitting energy that is that's some canadian sass too yeah
let's not forget shout out the canadian god from the great north where can people uh find you and

I actually am loving three tweets from Reductress right now.
The first one from at Reductress, how I embraced my toxic femininity by hanging a pair of labia from the back of my
pickup truck it's like and it's just like a blurred out back of a pickup that's truck nuts
but i just like did you get to envision what that looks like yeah uh another one uh reductress
report straight white friend going to still be friends with everyone when this election is all
over oh that's sweet
another one from and finally from reductress is he into you or just a cult leader who kisses
everyone on the mouth oh we've all been there um yeah i as as a fan of someone that likes to read
and watch about cults it is exciting to be around around while Keith Raniere's in his prime.
Yeah.
Right?
That's a joke.
People do not take that.
One other name that's being bandied about for Jeopardy host at Elsa,
just Elsa tweeted LeVar Burton for Jeopardy 2021.
I can see that.
Oh, yeah. I might be oh yeah paul f
tompkins tweeted this is the time of the year when i find myself thinking should i really start
watching this movie now it's almost 11 and then i look at the clock and it's 6 45 p.m um i this
like i looked up i i went so far as to look up if the sun is rising earlier than it ever has
before this morning i think i think that's i think it's just an old old white guy thing
where you just like start really uh being like yeah they really fucked up uh daylight savings this year i'm telling you and it sums up sums up this year
sums up john boyce tweeted uh after the i mean this is this is a very specific tweet but uh after
the jets patriots game he tweeted i mean i'm sorry but a historically awful team with no answers to
anything was not going to be led to a win by a guy from Delaware named Joe,
not twice in one week.
Because Joe Flacco was almost leading them down the,
leading the Jets down, and they are 0-9.
They suck.
What a ringing endorsement for Colin Kaepernick.
Joe Flacco.
That is just unbelievable.
And then Adam Ellis, Moby Dickhead tweeted,
remember when Macklemore thought he was gay because he could draw?
I've got a Macklemore story.
He was not happy.
Oh, really?
What do you mean?
You know when you have to go do general meetings and all that?
Yeah.
Networks.
Well, we were, like, I was in the waiting room of, I think it was Viacom,
and the PA guy came down, and he walked over, and I didn't,
I was like, I know that guy's famous, I just don't know who he is.
And the PA was looking for me, and he was like, are you Billy?
And that's when I realized, like, oh, that's Macklemore.
And he was like, I'm not, dude.
And he was like, hold on.
I want to see who you thought I was.
And I did not look presentable at all.
It was like a podcast.
I wasn't doing a meeting.
Now that I remember, I was probably just dressed like this,
and I hadn't shaved or anything. I had a hat on. And he walked I remember I was like I was probably just Dressed like this And like I hadn't shaved
Or anything
Right
I had a hat on
And he walked over
He's like Billy
I was like hey
And Macklemore looked
So disappointed
He like
He couldn't even be
Polite about it
And I don't blame him
I don't blame him
Come on
He was
Cause he was like
I was like I'm not
I was like
I wanted to apologize
Like usually I look really
Way better than this
I'm just doing
