Yannis Pappas Hour - Attack of the Wasps & Gaga’s Monsters

Episode Date: October 10, 2024

God sent a Democratic hurricane to punish Republicans, or maybe the sky Jew did. The rush to blame the hurricane damage on Democrats started quickly. Also, Gaga’s Little Monsters take on Joker incels and win at the box office, while the future First Gentleman will totally hook up with your nanny.

Hey everybody, it's Yanis Papas coming straight at you from the Yanis Papas Hour where we read the headlines of articles this week and then make up the news according to what we want that news to be and we make it shiny and happy so everything is beautiful. Create your own reality. Reality is a suggestion. I'm here to serve. This is a symbiotic relationship. I'll tell you what's going on in the news based on the way I want to see it.

The only real story I want to tell you about is that former governor Patterson of New York State was assaulted on the upper east side of New York City, a very prominent neighborhood. He was assaulted by four people, I think two adults and two kids, an intergenerational assault which is great to know that the parents really helping these kids out, you know? Him and his stepson were assaulted and here's the most surprising aspect of this story. That the former governor, David Patterson, was able to identify the assailants in a braille lineup. He felt their faces and he said, that's the guy. This is the oddest Pappasour. We're coming right back, right after this quick rap song. It's just tough being a former governor who's blind.

You don't know who's around you. You don't know if your security detail just left for a second to go get a subway sandwich, which is probably what happened. I don't know why the guy didn't have security there to help him out, but it's probably because they just went like this. They went. He said to the other guy, and they said to the stepson, and they just left for a second to go get a quick coffee

and maybe a subway. And David Patterson was just standing there, you know? And he got assaulted. I don't know what it was for. But from what I understand, it was a couple of guys in MAGA hats with rope and duct tape. And they screamed, this is MAGA country bitch. That's what I heard, that's what I know,

that's my story, and I'm sticking to it. Apparently these guys were wearing masks and hoods but they were very well built and jacked and one of them had a Jamaican accent so that's what I've heard. Is that why I do in braille John he's a maga country here boy why I do it now say bye listen star we're back in the body Buddha. Come back again. Boom bye bye. Governor head, rude boy.

No promote them nasty man. The mafia dead. Marga. Booyaka booyaka. Donald Trump being Booyaka booyaka. Donald Trump being. So that's the story. Supposedly, Jussie Smollett is suspected to be behind this attack in order to normalize

these type of fun type of fake assaults Which are better than real assaults they make the news who knows? Maybe David Patterson is gonna make another run for governor because Kathy Hockel's got Chinese spies everywhere in the closet, in her house, who knows? So Cuomo's trying to make a comeback. I'm not sure if it was Mario or Luigi. Which one was in office? I think it was Mario.

So I think Mario Cuomo is trying to make a comeback. I think Luigi is on some network apologizing for his COVID coverage. And that's where we are. But the Cuomo Brothers ain't going away that easy. There's no scandals anymore that could take anyone down. You know? Cancel culture, we're post the cancel culture era. Harvey Weinstein, I could have sworn I saw him at the Four Seasons the other night.

I mean, I think the guy's fine. I mean, medically, he's not in good shape, but he's a free man. I mean, he's a free man. I mean, he probably went, you're on a yeah, Uma Thurman rubbed my back in my robe. What do you want? I made her a star. Otherwise she would have been a Swedish nanny. She would have been a Swedish Burger King worker or whatever. She was a tall Swedish chick. They're a diamond dozen. All I said is I need a little massage and I'll put you in Pulp Fiction.

Big whoop. Big whoop. Gwyneth Paltrow, okay? I stroked her thigh. I stroked her thigh. What's worse, a stroke of a thigh in a hotel room or her vagina wax candle line? Why is that not in court? I'm just Harvey Weinstein. I'm the guy that gave you some of the most innovative movies in the last 20 years. Pulp Fiction. I'll just stop right there.

Okay. What else did he do? And Gloriousious Bastards. I mean, the list goes on. All the Tarantino's movies. You can't get the goods without putting a token into the devil's mouth. Michael Jackson feed them. The there's a yin to the yang. And that's what he said to the judge. And the judge said, I loved Pulp Fiction. So you're allowed to go to the four seasons until your next charge comes. And I think there's another one. They're just they keep coming. They're like Diddy. But like I said,

in my stand up comedy special that's still available on YouTube, Mom Love, in the finale joke, your mom will always have your back. I think Diddy at this point has been accused of 14,079 sexual assault charges and other wise breaking of the laws. But his mother says, this isn't possible. He was a good kid. He had a paper route in Mount Vernon. I don't believe this one bit. And that's just what moms do.

I think Jeffrey Dahmer's mom was like, what? He cut up and did eight, what? Not possible. You should have seen his artwork that we pinned on the refrigerator when he was four. He is a good kid. I wanna speak to the manager of this jail, not my son, not my son P. Diddy's. So his mother's coming to his defense. What's the need

for the lawyer? Just have your mother up there and go, listen, this is my son. There's no way he did this. He grew up in a, you know, middle class suburban home in Mount Vernon. He was just making his dream true when he threw chastity on the floor in that hotel room. You don't understand. She had a yellow jacket on her head and he was trying to remove it. She was, he was trying to protect her from a yellow jacket that was flying up from North Carolina trying to protect her from a yellow jacket that was flying up from North Carolina to attack her. How do we know what the true story is there? He threw her down and he did throw a kick while she was on the floor.

But have you ever tried to kill a yellow jacket? You get a little overzealous. Have you ever gotten overzealous with a yellow jacket? You're like, whoa, you almost hit me, but you're swatting. Who's to say that she didn't have a yellow jacket on her head? I'll tell you who can understand that right now is people in North Carolina who are under attack by wasps. Okay? In more ways than one. A couple of hurricanes with the waspiest names I've ever heard in my entire life. And I'll say it right off my slice plate. Helen and Milton. Helen and Milton, these are,

now these names have done a lot of destruction in the world when the Wasps ruled the world, British Empire, the early American, you know, up until the 1950s before the Yippies took control of this goddamn nation. It was all Wasps. It was their country. They were all the presidents. There's only been one non-Wasp president.

Can you believe that? Only one. Even Obama, Wasp. Well, yeah, on his mom's side, he was a blosp. He was a blosp, but he was still a wasp. His mom was a Protestant, a white Protestant, and he was a blosp, or a foreign Muslim, depending on how much you want to emphasize his middle name.

There's ways to do it. You can spell his name Barack Hussein Obama with a lower case, well no, just an uppercase letter in the middle name, H, or like Trump, you can capitalize the whole Hussein to emphasize that he might be an absolute foreign Muslim. But he was a Blasph. All the other presidents have been Wasps, except for JFK. He was a Catholic and that didn't end so good. He went to communion and things just went a little off. But that's just how it goes, you know?

Things happen. Things happen and wasps are now attacking North Carolina. They're just there. So yellow jackets are swarming North Carolina. So I guess FEMA is paying for a Benadryl and EpiPens. So you just need to give people medicine. There's just medicine. They need the Raycon, they need the Benadryl,

they need the EpiPens, and they need new ruffs. Some people are missing some ruffs. Big scandals about what's going on with the FEMA disaster relief. Republicans saying, ah, they're spending all the money on Ukraine, they're not sending it down, but that doesn't seem to be the case. That seems to be what hit X first, where news breaks. It's, that's where news is formed. You know, it's like it's for, you know what news on X is? It's like a comedian in an open mic, working out

the bit. So if you want to see news worked out before it's flushed out in an actual real story, you go to X to see it being molded, right? You ever go watch someone work out a bit, you know? That's like really a kind of a edgy bit and you see them at an open mic that's X news working out it's where news goes to work out before it gets fully formed and apparently none of that was true mayors Tennessee governors in North Carolina are saying stop these

conspiracy theories the money's coming I think it's 20 billion and 8 billion from FEMA. They're down there. You know, one of my neighbors is on NYPD leave. He's also military. He's on military leave. And he's, you know, New York is sending resources down there. He was telling me all about it, you know. But is anyone on the inside? It's like when I talk to someone in real life and then I look on X, I go like, this is just, people just are on the outside saying stuff, just making stuff up that they just don't know.

But that's not as fun. That's not as fun to think that FEMA is sending the money. They're sending some money. Asheville is living up to its name right now, unfortunately, it's very sad, but can you go back to that picture of Asheville? You sure that's not a picture of Haiti? That's Asheville?

Hurricane Helene had its way. Unfortunately with Asheville, this is very troubling. I think they do tell people to leave, right? But you know, sometimes they may hop on X. What may happen to some of these people in some of these neighborhoods, Jess, if you understand how the country works, what happens is they may hear on the news, like hey, we really need you to evacuate like two hours north, whatever, just get out of Dodge. They may hop on X and go right to a page

that they were following that goes climate change isn't real, the news never gets the weather right, you're gonna be fine. That could happen. I'm sure that happened more than 10 times, maybe, being like this is gonna be fine. That could happen. I'm sure that happened more than 10 times, maybe? Being like, this is gonna be nothing. And then when the wind started blowing, you know, they became Dems real quick.

I think that makes you a Dem real quick. Just like when you get mugged, it makes you a Republican real quick. You notice that you're walking around going, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh my God, oh my God, Khan, oh my God. Break up these monopolies, oh my God. Oh my God, oh my God, Khan, oh my God. Break up these monopolies, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God.

And you're walking home from your trivia bar somewhere in some gentrified city, neighborhood, and then you just get attacked. You get attacked by a few people, and then after the attack, you're changed. You went from cocoon to butterfly, which means you went from liberal to conservative, and then you have to contend with those new feelings.

I think if you're someone who stayed in North Carolina after the TV was telling you to go, and the roof comes off, you might go, okay, I'm a liberal now, what do we gotta do about climate change? Because my fucking outdoor TV is gone. And I can't watch the Panthers. But this is tragic, I think we have some death, right?

So hearts out to all the people that died. But more than 3,000 North Carolina residents have been rescued or supported by more than 100 1,200 urban search and rescue personnel shout out to those dogs that do that hard work. They never get any of the credit They don't speak English. They don't know we're appreciative The National Guard And active duty troops. This is what he was telling me all about He was like, New York is down there heavy and then he was telling me about how New York always goes because New York has just got so the resources, the other city, these other states don't.

Republican states just don't have a lot of resources except for the biggies, I guess, but not even that. Remember when Texas's grid went down? Remember that shit? Like New York kind of springs into action, you know? Make things, you know, it's New York, we're there. So New York is helping out big, and they're down there and donating resources.

But they're giving people only 750 bucks. They've offered them 750 bucks. Their homes have been washed away and there's like, here's, oh no, that's what Trump said. Yeah, and I read that that's not true. And yet we've sent tens of billions of dollars to foreign countries that most people have never heard of. So that is the good line to get people riled up, but apparently that's not true, right?

The $750 Trump refers to is what's called serious needs assistance and initial direct relief payment intended to help cover Emergency supplies like food water baby formula and other basics. So he exaggerated a little bit Well, they are getting 750. They're getting 750 but not for a new house. Go buy yourself something nice Yeah, go buy something nice. The serious needs assistance is one of the many changes to FEMA's individual assistance programs that took effect earlier this year. It also covers, yeah, so they also houses needs,

residents sort out long-term options. I used to work with FEMA, so I did this, right? When people, 9-11, when I did 9-11 disaster relief. So they'll end up, you know, if you don't have insurance, first of all, you should have insurance, because if you had insurance, they'd pay for it. Some of these people don't get insurance because they like to save on it.

If you live in Bayou Water, make sure you get insurance, I would say. But yeah, FEMA works something out with rent and mortgage and, you know Hopefully they do the right thing and what advice vice president Harris said there's lots of myths and disinformation Being pushed out there by the former president about what is available in particular to the survivors of Helen Harris said Urging people to apply for aid, it's extraordinarily irresponsible.

It's about him. It's not about you. And the reality is that FEMA has so many resources that are available to folks who desperately need them. So is FEMA running out of money? Another popular reframe that has gained traction on the right in recent days is claiming that FEMA has no money for hurricane recovery because of money spent on migrants. Something that is not true.

The money used in the aftermath of the land and other disasters is not part of FEMA's operating budget, but instead comes from the disaster relief fund, which is appropriated by Congress. Last week, Homeland Security said the agency does not have the funds to make it through the rest of the hurricane. Reportedly said the agency, FEMA is the funds to make it through the rest of the hurricane. Reportedly said the agency FEMA is required

to share monthly status reports. So what does that mean? They don't have the money. They don't have the money. That's with Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorkas, one of your people's, right? But he's not, no, that's Mayorkas? He's not Greek? No, Alejandro Mayorkas, one of your peoples, right? But he's not, no, that's Mayorkas? He's not Greek?

No, Alejandro? Alejandro, Alejandro, remember that song? Alejandro, Alejandro. No, he, that's Alejandro Mayorkas. Is that Mexican? Cachapa is, that's a different thing, we're all together. That's different for Alejandro. He got me on the Mayorkas.

Yeah, Mayorkas, no. So, I don't know, we gotta look at another article about this, but it seems like, you will get Benadryl at least. You will get some Benadryl. You'll get 750 bucks and some Benadryl. You'll get 750 bucks and some Benadryl at least. You will get some Benadryl. You'll get 750 bucks and some Benadryl. You'll get 750 bucks and some Benadryl at the very least.

But I did read a figure that there was 20 bill going down there, is that true? I did read there was 20 bill. The White House said, yeah, there you go. So, and a stopgap spending measure approved by lawmakers last month replenished the DRF at last disaster relief fund baseline of 20 bill, though some of the money is reserved for ongoing recovery efforts from previous disasters and projects to mitigate future impacts.

FEMA has sufficient funding to both support the response of Hurricane Milton and continue to support the response of Hurricane Helen. Right. Including funding to support first responders and provide immediate assistance to disaster. So this just happened, right? Dude, have you noticed that as soon as it happens, it's like, let's roll out the politics. It's let's roll out the politics.

I mean, isn't it like happening now, another one in Florida? I mean, yeah, I mean, you gotta it like happening now, another one in Florida? I mean, yeah, I mean, you gotta let it play out a little bit before you just start saying that they're not doing anything. I mean, you know, that's tough. That's tough. There's allegations that Trump refused to help California

in 2018, did you read about that? Yeah, because it was a democratic state. He said two of his former aides have dropped dime on him. These losers and turncoats. That doesn't sound like him at all, dude. So this is actually like, this is actually slander, because I can't picture him saying anything like this at all.

So according to an ex-aid of Donald Trump, Trump refused to give California wildfire aid until told how many people there voted for him. This is from a guy who used to work for him. This is from a guy who used to work for him. I don't know. What do you think? Could it be true? Why not? Even when he's doing some shit, he's funny. Yeah. People voted for me. Whatever is flagrantly flagrantly partisan

at times in response to disasters on at least three occasions where he hesitated to give disaster aid to areas he considered politically hostile or ordered special treatment for pro-Trump states. Guy's smart, I mean, take care of your own. If you're a Trump supporter, is this something you could picture him saying?

Seems to be on brand a little bit. Maybe then he initially did it, maybe it was a joke. It was a joke. Yeah, maybe it was a joke, who knows? Maybe he didn't say it. I don't think he didn't say it. He was playing to the room, you know? Yeah, I don't think he did say say it. He was playing to the room, you know? Yeah, I don't think he didn't say it.

Trying to get a laugh. Can you scroll down? So Mark Harvey, Trump's senior director for resilience policy on the National Security Council staff, told E&E News that Trump initially refused to approve disaster aid for California after deadly wildfires in 2018 because of its state's democratic leading. He said he changed his mind after Harvey pulled voting results to show that the heavily damaged Orange County had more Trump supporters than the entire state of Iowa.

Because that's how population density works. Which is wild, right, when you think about it? That's wild to think. That's how dense California is, that one county in the whole state of California had more Trump voters than the whole state of Iowa. And so then Trump was like, okay, we went as far as looking up how many votes he got in those impacted areas

to show him these are people who voted for him. I'm said Harvey who recently endorsed a vice president Kamala Harris, liar. Oh, along with more than a hundred other Republican former national security officials. That's crazy, dude. along with more than 100 other Republican former national security officials. That's crazy, dude. So there's over 100 Republicans who worked for him that are endorsing Kamala Harris.

Tons of Republicans are endorsing Harris. Wow. Wow. That's crazy. Both Harvey and Olivia Troyes, a former White House Homeland Security Advisor who backed up Harvey's claim. Can you scroll down and say

Trump approaching Hurricane Helene with a similar mindset. They say he's politicizing a disaster that has killed more than 170 people. That's tragic, 170 people in six states and Troy who has endorsed Harris for president accused Trump of trying to divert attention from his own political liabilities on disaster responses I Mean, you know, I'm brand I'm brand a little bit What are you gonna do What are you gonna do?

What are you gonna do? You're gonna support the people who don't support you? Isn't that the most isn't that choice isn't that america? You know, that's what it is If this is true, um Is it true? We don't know. It's a he said she said um on mond Monday Trump turned to visit a flood damaged Val D'Aosta, Georgia Into a partisan attack. He falsely claimed the Biden administration

And North Carolina governor Roy Cooper were going out of their way to not help people in Republican areas And that GOP governors couldn't get that president on the phone. You know what that's like? You know, it's like when you cheat, you know when you, you know, you people say that when you cheat and then you get paranoid, the other person's cheating, you're going,

why is that on your mind? Why does that, why would you think someone would do that? Is it something you did? That's what it sounds like. But who can trust the media, dude? I'm not at that place where I trust the media right now. I trust Elon Musk when he says that if Kamala Harris wins the election, he's going to jail.

That's what I trust. He's going to jail on some trumped up charges and Trump is his only option to stay out of jail It seems like it might have been said in jest. He's been jumping around a little bit. He got on stage He attended a rally with Donald Trump and he started jumping. I don't know what song they were playing though. Were they playing? Mac Daddy make you jump. Joe was it crisscross make you jump or jump around by house of pain? Um, his shirt was flopping up and he, it looked like he might've taken a couple of uppers, it might've been taken.

Dude, Elon Musk, where does he find the fucking time? Here he is. He's got no coordination. It looks like he's at a music festival. Yeah, it looks like he's at a music festival. He's jumping around. He's excited. He's got a Texas belt on. He's a kid from South Africa.

He's very excited. He's very excited about what's going on. And he was jumping around. And the video is even funnier when he's very excited. He's very excited about what's going on. And he was jumping around, and the video's even funnier when he's actually jumping. He goes out there, jumping around, you know, like it's the Super Bowl, and they just came out of the locker room. You know, they're heading out in the field, he's jumping.

He's like psyched up. And then he went up there, and he said, we gotta do this or else it becomes a one party system like California and they're throwing me in jail and they're gonna just throw away the keys. So it's his only hope. He's telling people it's his only hope. The Democrats are importing migrants to vote

and Kamala Harris was on 60 Minutes and that really stumped her a little bit. That question really stumped her. They were like, why did you wait three years to do that? And she almost said, because we wanted to flood those swing states with Democratic voters. You know how it works. They're culturally conservative Hispanics,

but when they first get here, they love the Dems because we take care of them, and then we set them free into the world to become Republicans later, and then we need to get fresh ones in. She almost said it, but she got stumped a little bit on that question. Like, so why, why did you let it happen for three years? And she said, well, you know,

there's a lot of burdens from the past, but I'm not trying to be unburdened in the future. And that's, that's just how it's going to go. I'm unburdened by what has been, but we're, I'm unburdened by what has been, but we don't have to carry those burdens into a very bright future. So she really would not answer that question. It was a tough question. Give her credit for sitting down 60 minutes. I don't think Trump has agreed to that,

but they asked her some tough questions 60 minutes. 60 minutes is the only new show left on television It really is It's like when we watch that guy the father of AI the godfather of AI created AI and he goes finally for the first time I think there's something more intelligent than us on the planet and when he said that I was thinking But is that really that hard Like how intelligent is AI then? It's more intelligent than what we're hearing on X? I mean, what is, how intelligent is that then?

Is it a threat really to be more intelligent than humanity at this point? Pretty low bar. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, maybe they're just setting a standard for us to get back to, you know? Maybe that's all AI's doing. Harris responded by pointing to Congressional Republicans

who backed out of a bipartisan agreement on a border security bill negotiated by Oklahoma Senator James Langford. Donald Trump got word that this bill was a foot and could be passed, and he wants to run on a problem instead of fixing a problem. And he was just like, but what took you three years to tighten it up, because now they're all tight on it.

She does own a Glock, though, and she has used it. She also said she'd have a Republican or candidate Republican in her cabinet. She's going on that like old school, John McCain vibe, right? Like, work across the aisle, get things done. It's a good message. I don't I haven't heard her bring up the AI. It's just only those Donald Trump commercials where she clearly says just like, put the transgenders in the women's cells She's changed her positions a bunch of times

Against fracking for fracking. She's changed. She was pushed on that as well um and 60 minutes sky was like a lot of people just don't know you because you've changed your positions on all these things. And she's like, I'm about compromise. I've traveled this country, I've listened to people, and we wanna bring it together. I'm about solutions. Good old school stuff. So what are we doing here?

Is it the old baseball rules of politics or are we going with the shot clock? Are we going with the pitch shot of politics? Are we going with the shot clock? Are we going with the pitch shot clock, which is Donald Trump, trying to bring us into this new wrestling era of fucking promos and digs? Who's gonna win? It's really old school versus new school right here.

And Elon Musk made a joke, a very responsible joke about assassinating Kamala Harris and how it would be pointless because, you know, she's just a part of the democratic machine. In other words, you can't stop it no matter what. They'll just put somebody else in there. So, Elon Musk is really fucking with people's Tesla stock. That's the main story. He's really fucking with people's Tesla stock. That's the main story. He's really fucking with people's Tesla stock.

Where is it right now? I'm looking, let me see. I mean, where is it? What? I'm not bad. Are we okay? $244 a share. Yeah, I mean, listen.

Depends on where you got in. You got in at four, you're not happy right now. Listen, I just want the first gentleman in there so he can bang something out and cause a scandal. And that's what it'll be. 13 states have banned TikTok, bipartisan attorney generals. They're suing TikTok, alleging it's harming kids and is designed to addict them.

Where's your proof? Where's your proof? Where's your proof? Sorry, 14, 14 states. 14 attorney generals filed lawsuits, alleging TikTok runs an unlicensed money transmission business connected to live streaming features. Lawsuits suggest TikTok enables sexual exploitation of minors and operates like a virtual strip club,

lacking proper age verification measures. They're just trying to get them on what they can get them on, right? Because you can't prove it's addicting them. Not until the suicide rate is 96%. And then they, that's what it takes. How long did it take tobacco? Like they knew that right like in the 70s?

Like wasn't that known? Yeah, they're gonna lobby that away. I mean, tech is gonna just lobby that away. Just like, yeah, no, keep the, people are having great, people are having great, enriching, enlightening conversations in those comment sections. Engagement is a big part of our business model. It brings people together under fake screen names

and they get to know each other. For example, one would say, you know, fuck you, you suck. You should die. And the other one would say, no, you should die. And it's a great way for community building What we're doing is a lot of community building and this stuff doesn't carry on in anyone's psyche at all It's totally good for developing brains They're learning a lot about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict through dance videos and 14-second AI Manipulated clips they're learning a lot about Ukraine and Russia. They're getting into the nuance of

situations one minute at a time from strange accounts that nobody knows and we think that's a beautiful thing to give children options on what to believe And that's what it is. Our user base is six months to 14 years old is the The majority of our subscribers are six months to 14 years old is the majority of our subscribers are six months to 14. Otherwise, mature adults who can make their own decisions. And so be it. So be it. So be it, baby. And I know what Jesse's thinking, what's next, right? They come after TikTok next thing, you know we're gonna be sleeping with dogs and they're gonna let them marry them and

You know if they do any gun regulation, then they're taking Kamala Harris's Glock It's all Slippery slope baby. What's next slouching towards Gamora judge Robert Bork. He put it in a book the Supreme Court old Supreme Court justice, he said, what are we gonna do? First it's the bras that go off, then the next thing you know, they're cutting their penises off.

Okay, he called that one. Next thing you know, it's Gamora. Okay, he called it. He kinda called it. Okay, so you bad TikTok, what's next? What are they gonna come after? They're coming after YouTube channel. Then they're gonna come after your meditation apps.

Then they're coming after Audible, your book reading. And then they're coming after Amazon, which they are. They're coming after all these things that have made us a less isolated, more mentally healthy society. We're just in that time period right now, like right before everyone agrees on the regulation. You know, it's funny, you see it happening with Khan already, we mentioned it on the bonus episode, patreon.com slash Yannis Papasour, for our weekly bonus episodes. We mentioned it on the bipartisan support of the FTC chair, Khan, to regulate

and break up tech monopolies. Like you're starting to see it because everyone, I think, has kids and I think everyone's seeing it in their home and they're just going like, how do we control this monster? Dude, when I talk to parents parents when I talk to parents about like what do you do on social media they all rub their head like it's a rub their head thing it's it's it's a this is a universal thing they rub their head

and they go I don't know you know that you do this you put the filters on their phone and then their friends parents don't put the filters on their phone, and then their friends' parents don't put the filter on the phone, and then they're on Snapchat, and like, you know, I put a tag on her, I know where she is, but then she came home, and she said, what's Hamas? And I said, I don't know, and then she came home, and she said, why is Betanyahu blowing up suburban areas in Beirut?

And I had to explain to her that he claims that there Hezbollah strongholds, but she goes, but my friends are saying that they're murdering innocent people. And she goes, and then the parent had to go, yeah, I think they are, but I'm not sure, I'm not there. I'm reading it sixth hand. None of these reporters are there.

It's a war zone. You don't really know. War is bad. It happens in the world. You're never gonna be able to sleep again. You're 12. There are monsters. Monsters are real.

Santa Claus, I know you saw on TikTok, Santa Claus isn't real. I can't control the rearing of my own child. What can I do? And parents just rub their heads and they go, we don't know what to do. We don't know what to do, but there's one thing they all agree on,

it's fucking horrible. That's the one thing, I've never heard one parent say to me, yeah, you know, a lot of people are complaining about it, but you know, my kid just watches unboxing videos because they want to, and nothing crazy comes across their algorithm. It's just unboxing videos, bluey cartoons, and they've learned Mandarin.

So that's good. That's what they've chosen. That's what the American culture that has conditioned these kids to want has manifested in what my kid wants. My kid just said, I wanna speak four languages. I'm not interested in what's going on in Gaza. I'm not interested in the October 7th atrocities.

I'm not interested in the atrocities of Israel's war afterwards. I'm not interested. I'm not interested in espionage and that Chinese hackers are listening to everyone's calls. I'm not interested. I'm interested in learning Spanish. And that's all I did.

So I have yet to meet one of those parents that are like, I don't know what everyone's talking about. My kid now speaks six languages, learned how to fix a roof, and knows how to do trigonometry, and he learned it all on YouTube. That's not what I've heard. You're probably hearing a lot of that in China, for better or worse, because the kids just

don't have the options besides entertaining themselves with learning trigonometry and that's it. You want to do some downtime stuff? You got to play, probably the funnest thing you can do in China on the internet is play chess. They probably let the kids play chess and that's about it. There ain't no dance videos. It's called bite dance, but the dancing ain't happening in China. It just ain't happening. So it's an issue, you know?

It's an issue. And 14 attorney generals are getting together, starting these things. These will go on for 20 years until the suicide rate of kids between 7 and 12 goes to 96% because they just can't handle the horrors of the adult world, which they shouldn't be privy to until they're at least in high school. It was starting to creep.

We started to become a little more aware in high school, right? But we didn't pay attention because news was so localized and when it came up we're like boring where to be where the girls at? You know, that was just a part of the mentality. Let's go play basketball. Let's go to the courts now These kids are like just like oh my god share Him a god, you know, and then they're like having these targeted bully They get into these friends groups and like 15 of them are in there and they're like having these targeted bully, they get into these friends groups and like 15 of them are in there

and they're all in college in the group. One girl does something and then there's just the 15 of them in that group just coordinate to just freaking isolate and ostracize this girl. She's gotta see it. She's gotta see it all. Well, you know what you did? You know what you did at that party?

Frank was my boyfriend and the other people go, yeah, you know what? I side totally with Melanie. I side totally with Melanie. I saw what you did. I saw what you did, Katie. And you know what? You're a whore.

You're a little whore girl from Mississippi. You're a little whore girl. And you're gonna be a whore from now on. And then they see her in the hallway, hi. And it's all in her brain, you know? And they just fuck it, torture her and that's it. And that's how it goes. So this is like two weeks in a row

where we've talked about states doing lawsuits. Last week I think we mentioned Arkansas was giving it a whirl. But these tech companies got massive resources to fight these things, right? So good luck. Good luck 14 Attorney Generals With your lawsuits. I don't know if it's gonna happen Parents will be a little disappointed because I think parents do want more regulation of social media

Probably a vast majority of parents. Yeah, I don't know what to do, but we gotta do something. But Todd Phillips didn't help anyone with The Joker. He didn't help anyone. He was like, this one, we're going for a different audience with this one, we're gonna mix incel porn with a musical. And that's what happened. And it's bombing at the box office

because the fans of the Joker are not into that. They're not into that. I don't know what kind of demographic market research Todd Phillips was doing, but it seems like he, I think he went to San Francisco and asked, what do you want me to do with the second Joker? And they were like, make it a fucking musical with Gaga. You know, and he was just like, okay, let's all do.

I mean, you know, he's like, what happened here? What do you think happened here? What do you think happened here? What do you think happened here? I heard the whole thing is a musical. Yeah, it's a stinker. Yeah, they made it into La La Land. Yeah, the first one is tough to watch. The first one is so disturbing and tough to watch

and stupid. It was a good movie you could watch once, but not even really. You're watching, you're going like, I wish I didn't watch it. Exactly, yeah. And then. So they went, let's make a musical.

Let's make a musical. Isn't that kind of like, if. Let's do the complete opposite. Yeah, what if it was like the Jason, remember Friday the 13th? What if like the third one in the franchise was just a musical? A song and dance number?

Yeah, I mean, they did throw them in space at some point. So maybe they just went a little too early with the musical. The musical could have been like when they know they jumped the shark, when they know there's nothing left on the bone. You gotta wait till Joker 13 to do that. Yeah, Joker 13, you do the musical. When you know there's no meat left on the bone.

But there was probably a lot of meat left on the bone here. But it's a musical. If they put it on Broadway and did it as like a joke, like that would be a funnier thing. Yeah, that would be good. Yeah, that would have kind of worked. I haven't seen it. I don't know anything about it,

except what I'm reading in the reviews and what Tim was in it. Oh yeah? And what he reading in the reviews and what Tim was in it. Oh yeah? And what he posted in the reviews, the reviews are so funny. It's just like things like this. Who benefited from Joker 2 bombing at the box office? Everyone else.

Everyone else who's not a fan? Yeah, Jesus Christ. We all benefited? Yeah, I love the name too. Joker, Folly, Adois? Well, you heard the conspiracy theories, right? No. The studio did this on purpose

because they didn't want Joker to become too popular with the incels. But then why would they spend a billion dollars on it? That's why it's a conspiracy theory, that's ridiculous. I don't think that's true. I think it was just a bad idea. Yeah, I think it was just Todd, I think they were just like, Todd Phillips, you're genius.

I think it was one of those, like Todd Phillips, fucking comedy director gone like dark noir, Joker, love it, love it. You know, it was that meeting, like whatever you wanna do. And he was like, give me a billion. And they're like, this is gonna be huge. Gaga's getting in.

Gaga's in, Gaga's ready. She's ready to stretch her range, okay? Gaga's ready to be like, you know, the female Joker. She's ready to kill. She's ready to fucking get Batman. Let's do it. Like, come on, we're gonna gather up all these fucking incels,

and we're gonna fucking ravage Gotham together, and she's ready, she's ready to stretch. She did the musical one with Jeff Brisey's, or whoever that was, Steven Seagal, whoever that guy was, you know, they sing the song together, making a star in the country, you know, that one, she did it, she did it.

Gaga is looking for a challenge. I got off the phone with Gaga's agent. This is one of those Hollywood things where they're going, we got Gaga and you're going like, oh my God, huge name, but that's probably what's gonna tank the movie. But it's the Hollywood execs, maybe they pressured Todd Phillips, like Gaga's in it, maybe they said Gaga wants a musical. And Todd Phillips was like, no, no, we gotta cut off.

He's gotta blow up shit. He's gotta stab someone in the eye with a pen. He's gotta do that weird laugh. And they were like, Gaga wants a fucking musical for all her little monsters. And how's Gaga fans responding to it? That's the thing. They probably looked at the socials,

which is what they do now, and they go, Joaquin Phoenix isn't on social media. Gaga has 14 trillion followers. Her little monsters. Her monsters want a musical. This is a coup. This is a coup of monsters. And that's it.

And that's what we're doing. This is a good line. It's nothing shy of a disaster. There's some good news though. With a little consolidation to WB, but encouraging for the state of the theatrical industry, over which DC's latest disappointment, it left plenty of room for just about everything else in the town. Meaning this was a great this was great for the other

movies. Right, they thought it was gonna dominate. Yeah, it was great for movies. It still topped the charts, but this is like when Vince McMahon did the XFL. Remember like the first week it blew away the ratings and then it just drops off because it's a shit product. Well, first one was a hit.

First one did really well. What, Joker? Yeah, no, I know. Well, first one was a hit. First one did really well. What, Joker? Yeah, no, I know. And then this is the XFL. Yeah, this is the XFL. It didn't get nowhere near the first film's 96 million opening. I think they spent a billion on it, right?

No, it could have spent a billion. They spent a lot of money on it, dude. Like those Marvel movies cost a couple of hundred million. Yeah, so not a billion, you're right. I'm exaggerating. Unless Gaga had a mega contract. They're gonna make their money back, right? They will, yeah.

They'll make their money back, but it's not gonna be a huge moneymaker. But it could be one of those things that people go see it just to see how bad it is. That could be it too. I'm kinda curious now. Yeah, now I'm curious. I wouldn't have watched it unless it was a musical.

200 million to make. So it cost 200 million to make. So they're gonna make that back, right? Yeah, they'll make it back. They'll make that back in licensing or whatever. But also they gotta spend on marketing and all that stuff. So I don't know. Do you go offline for a little while if you're Todd Phillips?

Or what do you do? He's chilling. He's chilling, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. This almost feels like it was on purpose. Yeah. It almost feels like something's up. He's wanting to kill the franchise.

Maybe he just was like, he watched that first one and was like, what did we fucking do? It's like creating Frankenstein. And he probably saw the fans going, yeah, yeah, we need to do that in real life, yeah. Let's get on, let's stand on these cop cars, let's, you know. That's the conspiracy theory. Yeah.

They wanna cause outrage in the streets, you know, create a bunch of mayhem. Well, it's the only thing that makes sense, it seems. That's the only thing that makes sense. So, that's what it is. No superheroes coming to rescue and no heels coming to rescue Joker was a heel turned hero to some and they killed him They killed the Joker No, they killed what people loved about the Joker so

hurricanes bombs and movie theaters Nannies getting knocked up. You didn't really talk about that. He knocked up a nanny. He did it in the first segment. Yeah, I mean, he knocked up a nanny. I mean, what do you want? The guy knocked up a nanny.

It's what people who are busy and have access to nannies do. He knocked up the nanny. She dated Montell Williams, they're even. The first gentleman, the potential first gentleman of the United States, Kamala Harris's guy, the first guy, the first dude, he's apparently got a pecker and he used it on his nanny.

And so that's it. That's what I was referring to. That's what busy guys do. They get what's closest to home. And if you are a woman, you must hire a Polish nanny over 65 because Kamala Harris's husband banged out the nanny from a previous marriage,

but that was not her jurisdiction. That was out of her jurisdiction. She couldn't prosecute it. So it didn't happen in San Fran. It didn't happen in her jurisdiction. She does have her Glock though. So if he fucks another nanny, we could have some violence in the white house. Guys, Yanis Pappas comedy.com for all tickets to see me live.
