Medicare For All For Real? Horny AI Joke Theives 11.06.26

0:05 Hello, Tori. Hello, Vince. Hello. I was trying to do Don Pardo. Hello, Vince Mancini. Tori Williams Douglas.

0:23 How drunk did he have to get to do his job? It seemed like he had to get pretty drunk.

0:28 I feel like drunkenness was just a part of having employment.

0:33 What do you expect? It's late at night. It was expected that you're half in the bag back then.

0:39 Yeah. You can just hear the ice sloshing by the.

0:43 They should recruit Susan Collins for that job now that Don Pardo's dead. She does have one of our great voices.

0:52 Haley Stevens also sounds a little... She sounds... like a nine-year-old Southern child with a lisp, which would be adorable if she.

1:01 Weren't like an actively harmful person. Edie Bryant. I feel like I don't know. I don't feel like I could hear her doing Jason Sudeikis. I think the key to her.

1:14 She talks like she's got a corncob pipe in front of her mouth. Like she can't close this part of her mouth. And then she's got that on top of the super flat vowels.

1:23 And we're going to do a little bit of stick it to them.

1:25 One of the flattest vowels you ever did see.

1:27 It does help to just have a pen in your mouth.

1:29 Yeah. And we're going to do a little bit of stick it to them. Someone told her that the way to be folksy was to do an underbite your whole life.

1:38 My impression of her is.

1:40 I can't.

1:41 I hope she goes away forever.

1:43 Yeah. Dear God.

1:52 The thing about my fiancé is he's blind, but he can hear my voice, which gets really turned on.

1:58 And that's what makes him harny. Makes him real harny.

2:03 Really?

2:04 Your voice? Oh, my God. You sound like Bobby's mom, bro. I was over there last night, and he was just raring to go.

2:18 Hello, the internet, and welcome to this season four.

2:26 Fuck, I was doing Pardo. I was doing Pardo and I landed in Prospector. Story of my life. Season 463, episode 5 of Dirt Daily Zeitgeist! I won't mess with that part, okay? That's always going to be the same.

2:42 Iconic.

2:43 It's a production of iHeartRadio. It's a podcast where we take a deep dive into American Shared Consciousness. We usually do it through the day's news. I'd say four days out of five we're doing it through the day's news. But Mondays... Some days we do a little thing called the iconograph where we do a deep dive into the zeitgeist through the lens of a different icon. We have done everything from, you know, real people like Oprah to Dracula to Indiana Jones to the dude from the Big Lebowski with today's guest co-host. Right now it is Friday, November 6th, 2026. You know what that means. When you got a Friday, the 6th. You know what's coming a week from then. A Friday, the 13th.

3:33 Oh, dang. Dang.

3:35 Get your hockey masks ready, ladies and gentlemen. My name is Jack O'Brien, a.k.a. Tallarico Suave. All courtesy of Christy Guy. Yamaguchi main in the Discord. And I'm thrilled to be joined in. Our second seat by a hilarious writer, comedian, podcaster, you know from Mad Yourself, a man.

4:02 It's Vince Mancini!

4:05 You're telling me that this is a podcast that I'm on right now?

4:10 Oh, wow.

4:10 I've heard all about these.

4:12 Gosh. Vince, we're thrilled to have you here all the way from the great state of Michigan.

4:17 Thrilled to be here. I guess I'll stop doing the Hayley Stevens accent at some point.

4:22 We could just go full Haley Stevens the whole episode. Our listeners would revolt. But we are thrilled to be joined in our third seat by a brilliant anti-racism educator, activist, writer, creator of the acclaimed podcast White Homework, and co-host of Go Home Bible, You Are Drunk.

4:40 It's Tori Williams-Douglas! Hi!

4:44 Yeah, Tori Williams-Douglas, a.k.a. For he's a cunting good fellow. Jack, that's for you because you love cunting around.

4:52 I do love cunting around.

4:54 I like it.

4:55 I feel like you deserve more credit for making cunt happen in the U.S.

5:00 Of A. So, yeah. Cunting is so fun, isn't it? It is. I think I forgot about it in The Exorcist, though. Yeah.

5:10 I think it comes up multiple times. I think maybe the very drunk British director uses it. And then there's like, it's speaking of Big Lebowski, which, yeah, Vince was our guest on the dude iconograph where like little snippets of dialogue will like be heard.

5:31 And like pulled into the movie.

5:32 I feel like there's a couple moments like that in The Exorcist where. Somebody says cunting earlier on, and then the devil is like, oh, shit, that's good.

5:41 I'm going to use that. The devil is very impressionable.

5:44 Yeah, the devil is very impressionable.

5:46 Real into memes. He was doing Borat for a good 18 months there. The devil comes out and is still doing Ace Ventura. Somebody. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Anyways, are you.

6:04 Tori, are you willing to go on the record with your Yoplait take? Because you said that you're excited to see Vince, but you are a little bit disappointed because you wanted to talk to Miles about Yoplait.

6:16 I mean, I don't know. I just like, I don't know that I have like, I love Yoplait. I'm just going to say that first off, right off the bat.

6:22 Damn, no, I thought you were going to be on my team.

6:24 Fucking love Yoplait.

6:25 Never mind. Never mind. Shut it down. But I loved it when I was like two.

6:29 Okay.

6:29 Okay, we're back.

6:30 As a three-year-old, I was like, this is the shit. I just still think it's the shit 40 years later.

6:36 It tastes great. It's funny that this, the yogurt. It's like candy. Yeah. Yeah. The yogurt center of gravity seems to have shifted from France to Greece in the time that we grew up. It doesn't need to taste good anymore. It needs to be... You need to be able to.

6:54 Spackle something like a hole in your bathtub with it. And it needs to hold.

7:01 46 grams of protein per serving. And it's real sour. That's true. Honestly, I'm trying to think of what the protein content of a yogurt would be for me to stop and be like, wait a second, that's too much. And I think you hit it with 46.

7:15 It's like, that's so much protein. You eat it and then it just like comes out in the exact same form as a solid brick and shit.

7:25 You have to be able to put a spoon in it and then turn the carton, turn the tub upside down and have it not fall out. Yeah, that's the sign.

7:33 Yeah, like a blizzard.

7:35 Yeah, exactly.

7:36 Those are the rules of yogurt now. Thanks a lot, Woke. It used to just be able to taste good and be French.

7:46 But shout out to the fresh.

7:47 Yolk play.

7:48 Your play.

7:49 It is.

7:49 The French like things that taste good. And I like that about them.

7:54 I very much doubt that the.

7:56 the sugar content in French Yoplait is anything close.

8:00 To what we get in the U.S.

8:01 No, that is the most authentically French food that we have in my house besides crinkle-cut French fries that I put in my air fryer. That is, yeah, I guess you could say I enjoy French cuisine.

8:15 In France, it's all escargot and foie gras-flavored yogurt. You know, they don't have all that sugary kid stuff that we have here. That's right. That's right. Is Yoplait actually French or is it like the Haagen-Dazs thing where someone from Milwaukee decided they found a brand name that they thought sounded French?

8:33 It does seem entirely possible that the Kroger company is behind it being called Yoplait. It was created in 65 by the merger of six regional French dairy cooperatives. Authentic, like I said. The name is a portmanteau combining Yola, which is how I live my life.

8:56 Yola. You only live. You only live.

8:59 It's the feminine version of YOLO.

9:05 Yeah, exactly. I'm just a feminist YOLO.

9:10 Amazing.

9:10 I'm an ally, but also I really fuck with early Drake.

9:15 And then Coplay. Yola and Coplay.

9:18 Coplay.

9:19 Coplay.

9:21 Doesn't work as well for me sounds like i.

9:23 Never liked that band.

9:26 It's the only place i cheat on my husband and co-play concerts all right uh tory we're thrilled to have you here we're gonna get to know you a little bit better in a moment first we're gonna tell the listeners a couple of things we're talking.

9:38 About uh we're gonna continue talking about the just the momentum There is a blue wave.

9:45 It crashed ashore. Does it need to recede? Where do we go from here?

9:50 All things that we will decide definitively on this episode.

9:56 Some boats rise. Some boats wreck. What'll happen?

10:00 We're going to talk about Bob Dylan met the Pope and he was wearing a hood the whole time. And I was not aware that he now exclusively wears hoods and doesn't take them off, which I kind of like for him. But I want to talk about headwear, Bob Dylan and the Pope. We're going to talk about Hallmark Christmas movies are getting shit for putting out some movies that have AI slot, which I would assume Hallmark Christmas movie fans wouldn't.

10:32 Be that picky about that sort of thing. And I would be wrong.

10:36 And then we're going to talk about a couple of my new favorite comedians.

10:41 Oh, wait, they're AI only fans. Only fan bots. Fuck. Big boobed Marge Simpson. Oh, yeah.

10:48 My favorite new comedian, big boob Marge Simpson.

10:52 All of that. Plenty more. But first... Batty Lois from Family Guy.

11:01 She's got jokes. And where are those jokes coming from? Real comedians, it turns out. Tori, before we get to any of that bullshit, we do like to ask our guests... What is something from your search history that is revealing about who you are?

11:14 So unfortunately, I'm sure you all remember like the tragic, I guess, glacial dam collapse in Nepal.

11:21 In like August. Yeah.

11:22 It was really terrible. And so I started going and looking for more instances of that happening or places where, you know, geologists or whoever, I'm not even sure, project that things like that could happen. Um, and I guess there's one of those in like Juneau, Alaska, which was a huge bummer also that like collapses every summer. Um, but it led me down the path of the Missoula floods, which I guess is how I got my beautiful home state slash city of Portland, Oregon was through a very similar kind of circumstance of like a glacial dam collapsing and flooding like the entire pacific northwest essentially so that's i've been geeking out over that to a strange degree i mean i don't know i'm like as someone with

12:11 adhd i think everything is interesting yeah but it is really cool to see to like learn about oh yeah like how did this like beautiful landscape get here it's like oh it's through like Centuries of massive destruction over and over again via a flood in literal Montana that flooded Portland, Oregon, because that's how big it was. So, yeah, I'm learning a lot about geology right now.

12:37 Weird. I don't know.

12:38 It's a good distraction from, you know, Pete Hegseth existing.

12:44 Maybe not for long. Maybe not for long.

12:46 They were going to force him to be trans now, I think.

12:49 Oh, yes, that's true. I forgot to make his appointment for.

12:52 His compulsory trans vaccination. You were supposed to do that. I know. I mean, I just took it. I volunteered.

12:59 I volunteered myself to get him to his appointment for his estrogen shots.

13:04 He's been forced to live YOLA. He has no choice but to YOLA. He's got no choice, folks.

13:13 The rest of his life, he's committed.

13:15 YOLO.

13:16 Your kids go to school. Wasn't that a thing that Trump was saying, that kids go to school and they come back home and they're trans?

13:22 Yeah, the teachers do that.

13:23 The teachers have given them a sex change.

13:28 Before the last election, he was talking about post-birth abortions, and it was just sort of like, everybody just let it go for some reason. Yeah.

13:36 You know, fourth trimester abortions, they're poppin'..

13:41 I get one every week. Yeah. It's actually, you've got to keep up. You do. Yeah.

13:47 With all your friends.

13:48 To your point.

13:49 About the natural disasters, taking it back to the fun. There's a, this is the thing that annoyed me about the movie.

13:58 Don't look up.

13:59 Is that there are like, there's one story from, I think it's Peru where like these mountain climbers went up the side of a mountain and And we're like, oh, shit, there's like a whole honk of this mountain that's just like barely hanging on. And it's like barely hanging on above a bunch of like towns. And it's going to be a massive fucking disaster. Like they could see like it was like melting, like exactly what you're talking about.

14:29 So they went up the mountain, saw this, came down and were like, yeah, this is really bad. It was like on the front page of the papers the next day. And then those people were literally run out of town, like were out of the country. They were American climbers who were run out of the country for like saying that to the locals. I actually don't know if they're American.

14:51 I might have just added that part, but they were not from there. And so they were not allowed to stay. They were like, shut the fuck up. You're like freaking everybody out. And then like within a year, it was like the worst landslide in the history of like that country and like one of the worst of all time.

15:07 And it killed like.

15:09 So many people, just like buried entire cities. And it's like, that was, that was my complaint. It's like, this shit happens all the time. Like you don't need to invent a fictional science fiction scenario because it happened. It's happened all the time. You could have just gone full the big short on this and told the true story of how this happened and had the exact same metaphor for like, how people actually behave in the face of a looming catastrophe.

15:39 I feel like adulthood is recognizing like, that every disaster movie you ever saw was wrong because it's always like the disaster happens and then the kook who predicted it all becomes the hero. And it's like, in real life, they just throw that guy in prison because he killed the vibe. And he stays in prison because everyone's dead afterwards.

15:57 They like blame him for it retroactively where they're like, you caused this. You caused this to happen by harshing our mellow.

16:04 Yeah.

16:05 Yeah, it was. Yup.

16:05 1962, two American geologists found that a large rock face above a Peruvian town could collapse during an earthquake. The Peruvian government ordered them to retract their work or face prison. And then eight years later, an earthquake collapsed the rock face, killing 20,000 of the town's residents.

16:24 Jesus Christ!

16:25 Yeah.

16:26 Okay, that's a lot of people. Yeah, just the whole town. Holy shit. Yeah, it's wild. Like, that's just.

16:34 That is what we are experiencing as a species on a grand scale, unfortunately.

16:42 Anyways, what's something you think is underrated?

16:46 Yeah, I'm like, sorry, I'm being I'm being real happy right now. That's definitely, definitely. Here for it. Okay, so this is antithetical to everything I was taught growing up in the 80s and 90s. Medicating kids is extremely underrated in this country for kids who need to be medicated. It's fucking awesome to not have to deal with such severe impacts of like mental health stuff. And I'm just realizing this because like growing up, that was like the thing in the 90s. All the parents and all the pediatricians were like apoplectic. Like every single kid is... on drugs we have to stop giving them ritalin like right boys just naturally can't sit still and punch their sister in the face and that's just normal it's like um

17:34 yeah anyway i'm going yeah i'm going the other direction i'm going.

17:38 The scientologists are gonna be furious at you yeah.

17:41 They're not gonna be happy i know and i i just tried to escape so they're gonna pull me right back damn.

17:46 It So you're saying the thing that doctors say is good but people on Facebook are really angry about is that I should not listen to the people on Facebook?

17:56 I mean, you know, sometimes it's good to, like, not make your kids suffer unnecessarily.

18:00 Yeah. The thing to think about.

18:03 I know that's not very American of me. It makes me sound like an anti-patriot.

18:07 RFK.

18:07 But, um... Yeah, I feel you. Yeah, yeah. I'm like... You can help your kids.

18:13 It's okay.

18:13 It's not bad.

18:14 Even if you're getting judged on Facebook. Just delete your Facebook account anyway. They're trying to do coups, you guys.

18:19 Yeah, yeah. Shut it down.

18:20 Now, how do we feel about a little bit of whiskey ahead of a flight to get the kid to just chill.

18:26 The fuck out? You know what I'm saying? A little whiskey, a little Benadryl. I think as long as it's top shelf. You don't want to raise them on that.

18:36 They have to have good taste in the whiskey.

18:38 I don't want my kid to grow up, you know, drinking cheap liquor, so. Yeah.

18:43 That's right.

18:45 Yeah, exactly. It's like boxed wine. Here you go, babe. Just drink this. You won't barf, I promise. Yeah. I don't know.

18:53 I'm like, they have a lot of research now, which I think is awesome for kids, you know, and it's really, there's like really positive, like long-term mental health outcomes for getting kids on. Mental health support and the drugs that they need to be on.

19:10 The doctor says they should be on.

19:12 Are good.

19:13 Are good.

19:13 They're good sometimes, guys.

19:15 Yeah. You're playing a dangerous game with the Benadryl thing because it's like, ooh, best case scenario, this kid's going to fall asleep on this flight and it'll be pleasant for everyone. And then it's like, Worst case scenario is he's just going to be tired and act like an asshole the entire time.

19:30 No, I did discover that one time. Like, we didn't do it purely. Like, I basically had the license to give him Benadryl before a flight because he was, like, also a little, you know, runny nose. Kind of the symptoms that would require Benadryl. And I was like, oh, this is going to be good. We're going to go to sleep.

19:49 And he... was just drunk the whole flight.

19:52 Like he was, it was like, we're like party. Like he just, I was like, oh no, this is, it's a bad sign for this flight and also the future.

20:06 The future of mankind because he was.

20:07 Like kind of fun you know he's like a party animal all.

20:10 Of a sudden.

20:13 I do I mean I like I feel bad for parents whose kids are having a bad time.

20:16 I do too I used to not I used to be like You're a worse person.

20:21 You've made a bad decision. I know. I know. And now that I've been through it. Your kid has no clue.

20:27 Uh-huh.

20:28 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

20:29 Now I can see the humanity. I'm always trying to check on people. I'm like, do you need a break? Do you want me to walk your baby up and down the aisle a couple times so you can stop walking your baby screaming up and down the aisle.

20:42 A couple times? You are giving zombies. Right now. Can I help you?

20:47 Yeah.

20:48 Yeah.

20:48 That's how that's really how I feel about it. I'm like, I always just want to be like, I'm trying to look out for people to help. And usually it's small people who I feel need need help. So, yeah.

20:58 I don't know. Full circle. Like little persons. Like little persons.

21:05 What what is something you think is overrated?

21:08 Figuring out your life's purpose, I think, is really overrated. Hmm.

21:13 Agreed. everyone's like, why am I here?

21:16 What am I supposed to be doing with my life?

21:18 And they're just devastated about it.

21:19 I'm like, who cares?

21:21 Who cares? The purpose is to distract yourself the entire time. I don't know if I'd go that far, but do something to help somebody. It's not that big of a deal. You know. try to be a good person. It's fine.

21:35 Try to be a better person than Pete Hegseth and you'll be on.

21:40 The right track. I don't know.

21:42 I just think it's really, I don't understand it. And this could be like a touch of the tism, but I don't understand the like, what is my purpose? Why am I here? People being devastated over this. It's like, be nice to people, be kind. It's not, that to me doesn't seem super complicated.

22:00 Nobody knows.

22:01 Like literally nobody knows the answer to that. It's such a funny thing to be like frustrated about.

22:07 You're like, what is this? I had no, dude, literally nobody knows. No, we don't know. Yeah. It's like, The people who do know are assholes and they're wrong.

22:19 Yeah.

22:19 Yeah.

22:21 Certainty on that one question. This one trick to find out if someone's an incredible asshole, ask them what the meaning of their life is. And then if they give you a confident, succinct answer, you're like, well, I'm.

22:34 Not going to talk to you anymore.

22:36 You're freaking me out a little bit.

22:39 So I just, I don't know. I think that like your purpose in life is to be a, be a good person.

22:44 Like just try your.

22:45 Best and have, have a good time and don't hurt anybody. It's like, it's so easy. And then you just do that and you feel very fulfilled at least.

22:54 Okay.

22:54 I shouldn't project. Shouldn't make this prescriptive. I feel very fulfilled. I'm just going to try to be nice. Try to be, you know, a good neighbor. help people out every time I can. It's not complicated.

23:07 Those are usually the, yeah. Yeah.

23:10 Those are usually the things like the small, small little instructions generally resonate with me more than like.

23:17 Big, all encompassing.

23:20 Yeah.

23:20 Deep, deep sound. And you know, make, make yourself a good sandwich and enjoy it.

23:25 Yeah.

23:26 Enjoy every sandwich. So simple.

23:28 Don't hurt people unless you're a boy and it's your sister. In which case, as said, as we said, that's fine.

23:36 Wait, no, that's wrong.

23:38 Anyways.

23:39 All right. Let's take a quick break and we'll be right back. And we're back.

23:55 And, yeah, we're continuing to see the, you know, fallout from the election. Matt Iglesias is making his argument that it was actually... The smartest man in the world. The smartest radical centrist, Matt Iglesias, is making his claim that this was actually. Bad for leftists and good for centrists in a way that this is really hard for me to get. I mean, I knew he was going, I knew he specifically was going to make that claim, but it, it is really hard for me to understand how he can make that claim because they basically ran entirely on leftists. Bernie Sanders talking points. All the elections they won were Bernie Sanders talking points.

24:49 It's just weird that Matt Iglesias seems to say that no matter what happens in reality. He just keeps saying that. Yeah.

25:00 The billionaires, AIPAC, the people who traditionally control power in the Democratic Party, I just don't... Everybody who's pessimistic and will. Fucking Jeffries is still in control. And, you know, but like all of the reasons for the centrism in the past have been like, we're completely. refuted in this and like i don't i don't think that it's going to be the centrism will continue until morale declines right those are the rules apparently but yeah like billionaires and apac are the reason for centrism and those were like explicitly targeted by all of the winning candidates it seems so i'm just i'm a little confused where where that Where he came up with that? Yeah, where he was getting that.

25:55 He was really trying to parse the numbers. Being like, actually, Abdul El-Sayed, seven points wasn't that good.

26:04 Yeah, and we didn't try to put someone else in there the entire time either.

26:09 Yeah, we weren't actually secretly working behind the scenes to... fuck him and everybody else and then like completely ignoring angie nixon but yeah like some people are comparing it to 2006 when uh george w bush got wiped out at the midterms after people had soured on the war on terror and him being terrible at being a president and then obama you know two years later so they had a huge midterm win and then obama swept to power on a populist ticket but then he went to the center once he had the power and i think like this is what people are like this is what so what happens every time but i will just say like at that time there wasn't like who was a leftist in 2006 who was like a socialist in 2006

27:02 like that was when bernie got nominated to the u.s senate like that we were just.

27:07 Begging for somebody who didn't directly vote for the Iraq war. That's how we got Obama.

27:12 Right.

27:12 Yeah, exactly.

27:14 It was, it was literally like there, I don't feel like there was anywhere for him to go.

27:21 Right.

27:21 The center, like he would have had to have like been the leftists that you want to see been the change you want to see. And obviously he did not do that. And so I understand where people's skepticism is coming from, but it just, it feels like it's a much more, more fleshed out you know left flank of the party now.

27:43 We also just still had a monoculture in 2006 like there was so much more I don't know like unanimity again not unanimity but like there was a perception that we were more on the mainstream was more powerful then in a way that it just doesn't exist now which is Like this was a reaction against the mainstream.

28:09 Yeah.

28:09 Like this. Yeah. Against the idea of like the, you know, the smart people are in charge. Everybody go home, go to bed now. Yeah. Like there was a. Yeah. Yeah.

28:17 Like, I mean, so like Ro Khanna, who I'm starting to really like, who has been like kind of on the right side of a lot of these policy conversations in the lead up was like, we need. like, when we win, we need this. Like, we just need to say, like, we need a new deal. We need Medicare for all, $ 25 living wage, end the Iran war, zero aid to Israel, tax the billionaires, and, like, just don't differentiate from that messaging at all. And if Trump votes against it, he's Hoover.

28:50 You know?

28:50 Yeah. And, like, that seems very, you know, clear. And in the past, I would have also been for that. But it would have felt a little bit more of like a pipe dream. But like those were the winning messages. Like if you listen to the victory speeches from the people who won, like even like Ossoff, who was not like this, you know, insurgent leftist, like his speech was focused on billionaires. Like it wasn't focused on Israel, but.

29:18 you know, it was focused on like the Iran war being unnecessary. And, you know, I don't think he's Medicare for all, but like a lot of people who won were. And like, so it just feels like a lot of the things that we have traditionally just taken as a given are like falling apart. Like the, the assumptions, like these socialist policies are political losers. Like you really can't believe that. Like you can say it and they're going to say it over and over again. But you can't actually like believe it or like make it make a coherent case because they just that's what one.

29:57 We'll get ready to hear about the deficit for two years. Like we stopped hearing about it. And then I guarantee like, you know, tomorrow it's going to be the suddenly the biggest political issue. But like, even from a purely cynical point of view of say like, okay, you just want to win an election and don't do anything. What you need to do is create the perception that you're doing stuff.

30:19 Even aside from actually doing it. But the whole reason the Democratic brand was so bad was there was the perception that they just weren't doing anything. They weren't doing anything to improve people's lives. They were just in general not doing anything. If you can't create the perception that you're doing stuff, you're just going to be... you're just going to be the last guy holding a flaming bag of shit the next, the next time around. Right.

30:45 Yeah.

30:46 I mean, the, the thing I kept thinking about with Ossoff's speech, because I've like seen him do interviews where he's like, uh, no, I'm not.

30:54 For Medicaid for all or Medicare for all. Of course not.

30:58 Um, but his speech was like, it sounded like a Bernie speech, like his victory speech sounded like a Bernie speech. And like, I kept thinking about like FDR who, you know, had a lot of very popular socialist policies that like America benefited for, for like a century. Like he was not a dyed in the wool socialist at all. He was a rich guy who was an opportunist who was like, Oh, this is what people want. Like all the polling says, this is where people are going and what people want.

31:32 And it also appears to be something that would work if we did it. And so he just like did the thing that was politically popular, which is like kind of like, I mean, not everybody's going to do that, but I think there are people who might be craven enough to do the right thing.

31:50 Yeah. Or just like aware of their own best interest. I feel like, you know, a lot of capital just sort of forgot the reason that they made this like sort of deal with labor in the middle of the 20th century, which was like, not because like, you know, they were going to make even more money or be even more fabulous, fabulously riches. Cause it was like, this is more comfortable for you. You don't have to, you don't have to be, you don't have to worry about being hung from a lamppost and you can keep, you know, making money. Like there wasn't, you didn't have to do it out of altruism. It was just a simple, like cost benefit of analysis and recognizing like, It was in your best interest to not have people want to murder you.

32:30 Yeah. I do think there needs to be a strong it's this or the guillotine undercurrent to the messaging of the Democratic Party going forward or, you know, whoever is going to be sweeping the power here.

32:44 I feel like we have to.

32:45 I mean, I love. Okay.

32:47 I don't fully trust Ro Khanna. He does say a lot of things that I definitely agree with. And he says a lot of things that I'm like, where did you get that?

32:53 He's like too much of a Silicon Valley guy.

32:56 Yeah, that's probably what it is. I totally agree with like this whole list. I don't think $ 25 is a living wage in most places anymore.

33:03 But, you know, that aside.

33:05 Yeah.

33:05 Yeah.

33:08 My worry is like if we don't have a Voting Rights Act and we have like this rogue SCOTUS situation, it doesn't really matter how many of these things we pass that we do or don't do. So like that's where my concern comes in. Like, you know, fully expect Matt Iglesias and, you know, whoever gets paid to just like say words.

33:29 No offense, Jack.

33:33 I know you have a real job. I'm just kidding. To like make these statements of like, oh, this is totally going to backfire. Like nobody actually wants this. They just voted for it because they were too dumb to know what was good for them or whatever.

33:43 Right.

33:44 I fully get that. But I'm like, I don't know. I don't think there's any like backstop anymore. Like we don't have any like safety net. Like so even putting these things in place and like we don't work on fixing this foundation that we have that's a real damage at this point. I don't know how far these really good policies are going to get us. I think we can walk and chew gum at the same time. And, you know, like, putting people in prison. Not Hakeem and Chuck, but some of us can walk and chew gum at the same time.

34:13 It's definitely not going to happen with Hakeem and Chuck.

34:14 I think we've got to work on making it so that they can't just, you know, whatever, Joe Rogan doesn't get elected and just veto all of this shit. Right.

34:22 Like, day one. Yeah.

34:24 Yeah.

34:24 And then like, I think we have to recognize the lessons of like 2008 and the financial crisis, whereas we had this big thing that happened and then we had like a big blue wave. And then like none of the people that engineered the bad thing went to prison or face like any sort of accountability for it so like they're like showing that that's a possibility like because we keep making this mistake over and over whether it's like the civil war or like nixon getting pardoned it's like we're just like oh let's be friends now and it's like no like the next guy that comes along has to be scared of a bad outcome here.

34:59 Like yes i think that's right i think i do think like they the last time they like kind of tried to make prosecuting trump like sort of the thing that they were showing. And I think that's something they just need to be doing. It's not like that can't be.

35:18 It's not your one issue.

35:20 Yeah, the face of the party can't be like, and now we're going to you know, investigate and, like, show all the stuff that he did was wrong.

35:28 But that does need to happen. And then do nothing about it. I feel like that was kind of the weird thing.

35:33 We're like, we're just going to sort of dilly-dally and, like, take our time and make this really strong case.

35:37 I was so jealous.

35:37 And, like, oh, fuck, he's back in office again.

35:39 I was so jealous of Brazil when I found out that Bolsonaro was in jail.

35:44 I was like, are you fucking kidding me? I know. Or Korea. Like, didn't they, like that guy who didn't, they all the time because they recognize that they're like a danger to democracy. Like it wasn't like some asinine thing where it's like, we got to prove a quid pro quo with Ukraine. Like it was like this convoluted thing.

36:02 It's like, I don't know. Right now, he has his name on fake money.

36:08 There's a lot of bad stuff here.

36:12 He's just dunking in our faces over and over again. I don't think we need to go to technicality at this point. Yeah.

36:19 I don't think that the 2006-2008 is necessarily like, oh, we know what's going to happen. This happened before. It's like, You have one example. Is that what you're talking about right now? I'm like, we could also learn from, you know, 06, 07, 08 and do things differently this time. That's also an option. Like, we're not locked into just repeating the past. And I think that argument is incredibly disingenuous. It's like, well, we're just right back where we started. You know, we didn't put any of those people in jail, which was, like, clearly part of what got us to where we are right now.

36:56 Yeah, none of the Trump torture people went to jail. I mean, sorry, the Bush church, the W. Bush Cheney clan. Yeah, exactly.

37:02 The bankers all got bailed out and got to continue doing all the stuff that they were doing before.

37:08 Yep, precisely.

37:09 But also, like, the Democrats were partying because Obama won for years, and the voting rights act was being disassembled in front of their faces, and they did nothing.

37:18 Right. Right?

37:19 The thing they learned from his election, like his, you know, rise to power, was, like, now every... democratic politician speaks exactly like they're like oh yeah got it we learned our lesson and now we have his cadence down there's also this.

37:34 Thing where they do where i feel like the party that that wins like They win these 52-48 elections and they're like, well, we're going to be in power forever now. We did it. Yeah, we did it. We don't have to do anything. We don't have to capitalize on this brief moment that we have. I mean, after 2006, the Democrats got in power. Obama gets elected in 08. He has both houses of Congress for his first term. And then they couldn't even get a public option through. I think that was kind of where I became radicalized a little bit where it was like, you guys couldn't even get this done. And so they got like basically like an apology health care plan that like immediately got undone.

38:17 Yeah, it was written by insurance companies.

38:19 Yeah.

38:19 And they had this like, like, you know, in that in that time.

38:23 Right.

38:23 Because the immediately as soon as that happened, as soon as Obama got elected. everybody in the GOP went straight to their state houses and started pushing through all this really egregious stuff, right? So they're trying, they're doing like, as much gerrymandering as they can. They're closing polling places.

38:38 They're actively trying to disassemble the Voting Rights Act. They're trying to make all of these things more. I mean, there were articles about thousands of polling places closing the year after Obama got elected. And we were still having this party, everything's awesome, everything's great. There were also articles from real big outlets, like, oh, are the Republicans cooked?

38:59 They can never come back from this. He has a super majority. And then two years later, like, poof, it's gone, you know? So, like, yeah, I think we can learn a lot from, you know, 20 years ago. I think we should maybe learn a lot from 20 years ago. I don't think it's inevitable that we repeat that, but we do have to be very cognizant of the fact that, like, the thing that they do, the minute they, like, the day after they lose is they're back at the drawing board, right? Like, I was raised i was raised by a republican activist so like i know how.

39:31 They do these things like yeah you.

39:32 Cannot spend four years partying while they're taking away people's rights and then be like oh we got this it's fine.

39:40 Right i mean you definitely yeah If you want to learn something from Trump, it's like, just do stuff. Right. Make them catch up with you. Yeah. He's going to do stuff. So you should do stuff. Because if you don't, you're going to lose your moment. And then you're going to be, you know. Yeah. Shit out of luck. No momentum.

39:57 And yeah, like they're already, they're already strategizing.

40:01 Yeah. Sure.

40:02 Like right now, today, this morning. Like that's what they're doing right now is like, this is how we're going to win next time.

40:08 Yeah. You know.

40:10 And coming up with ways to, like, test their new theories and, like, putting project 2025 into chat GPT and being like, we lost this time help.

40:20 I hope, I hope to God that's what they're doing. And I feel like that, that is like looking at how they tried to execute the fascist takeover. I'm like, Oh, they're not, they're kind of dumber than I thought they were.

40:34 In a lot of distracted by a pool and a ballroom. Yes, I agree.

40:41 Like, There are so many different things that have been badly, badly damaged over the past, you know, 10 years, really. It's been a crazy 10-year run of just America getting the shit kicked out of it.

40:52 Kicking its own... Yeah, kicking its own ass. Yeah, kicking its own ass spectacularly. Going from, like, you can't profit off the presidency to just having a guy who's, openly just like taking bribes and, and, and selling fake money with his name on it. I mean, I don't know.

41:09 It does seem like I'm starting to hear people talk about getting money out of politics again for like the first time in a long time. Like, you know, seriously talking about that, which to your point, like that, that's the sort of thing like we do need to kill the filibuster and just like go like we can't do the inaction thing anymore. Like there needs, there needs to be radical action.

41:30 Yes.

41:30 But I guess that I'm just saying the argument is much easier to make and the left is much stronger than it's ever been before.

41:39 So whether it's times. Yeah. In our lifetimes. Yeah.

41:43 So like I, I was saying on yesterday's trending that like, there's this like, okay, I've lived out. Now it's time to be like upset about like how fucked we are. And it's like, I don't know. Like there, I don't know that it's living out to be like, to be happy about this election because they really did like just take all their talking points from the left in a lot of cases.

42:05 So yeah.

42:07 And people are going to remember that. Cause like, again, cause they liked it because that's what they were asking for. And, yeah, and I mean, also, like, gas prices aren't down, you know?

42:16 Right. Yeah, yeah.

42:17 Like, food is still really fucking expensive. And people are having to choose between, like, taking their kid to the doctor and, like, keeping the lights on.

42:26 I'm kind of shocked that it hasn't, like, gas hasn't immediately skyrocketed. Because what I assumed was, like, oh, before these midterms, they're going to be doing everything they can to keep these artificially... deflate it. The price is low. Yeah, they keep the price artificially low. And then as soon as this election happens, they're just going to like take their hand off of the button and it's going to like jack up again. I'm curious to see what happens.

42:51 I think what happened, my theory of what is happening is they are charging as much as they feel like they can possibly get away with. And with Trump in power, they can get away with a lot. With this vision of a future that is basically a mixture between like an authoritarian oligarchy. They can do whatever the fuck they want.

43:15 You know, there is no power with the people. The power is all with them. And like, that is what, like we keep looking at these earnings reports for fossil fuel companies and their record profits. Like that is where the money is. The prices are high because they're making record profits.

43:32 That's it. And we can recognize that money's made up. And when somebody has a lot of it, you can just take it. Like, yeah.

43:40 And so I do think that something like this, like people, you know, winning elections with talking points about, you know, taxing them and like anti-corporate like sentiment, I think probably does like make them take a, take a step back a little bit and be like, okay, well, like, it's just like Silicon Valley. I saw a very funny tweet of like the halls of Silicon Valley. And it was like Tim Cook and all the people who came to the, uh, Trump inauguration now in like Kufi's like kneeling on one, you know, doing the Nancy Pelosi thing. Like, I do think that is what they are as much as anything, which is just, again, opportunists. Like America is a bunch of opportunists.

44:25 I mean, I was thinking about this when I was watching You Can See Everything, just how much of like the, like that culture's personality is is formed by the fact that like the, your path to success is like finding someone with a lot of money and then just like saying what they want to hear. Like that is like the, the base level of like what they're doing. It's like all that startup culture. Like what you're really doing is like, you're, you're finding people with money and just being like, Oh, here's what you guys like. And then you hope they give you some. And so like, I feel like that creates a, like a very like clout chasing, uh, just culture in general. So like as soon as, you know, Trump seemed like he was popular. Of course they were

45:05 all kissing his ass. Cause it was like, that's just how, that's just how they operate is they find someone with power and they toady to them. And now it is, it'll be, it'll be interesting to see like how quickly they, you know, they reverse on their lightning fast MAGA turn that they already, that they already did. Cause it's like, it's kind of the only thing that they do. Has Mark Zuckerberg gotten a haircut yet?

45:29 Right.

45:29 Yeah.

45:30 Where is the gold chain?

45:32 Yeah. Speaking of jails.

45:34 Yeah.

45:35 All right. Let's take a.

45:36 Quick break and we will be right back.

45:49 And we're back.

45:51 And, all right, a bunch of dumb stories to get through. Bob Dylan popped by the Vatican this week for a brief private meeting with the Pope. This is what you get with an American Pope. The Pope has, they're both proud Midwestern sons. The Pope quoted a weirdly obscure Bob Dylan lyric in his book. He quoted the song, Go away, you bomb. Go away, you bomb, you bomb.

46:20 I mean, this is a guy that took a vow of celibacy. He's got nothing to do but get really into obscure Bob Dylan tracks.

46:27 The quote, I hate you because you're man-made and man-owned and man-handled.

46:32 Okay. Sure.

46:33 One of those things doesn't seem so bad.

46:35 Yeah.

46:38 Oh my God. I'm really hoping that Pope Bob yelled at Bob Dylan for his weird AI shit.

46:45 No, yeah, that is true. They are on the opposite sides of the AI debate.

46:49 I was hoping he was getting yelled at by the Pope.

46:53 Not in front of us. But really what we just saw is the standard papal step and repeat where it's like somebody standing next to the Pope smiling for a picture. The funny detail for me is that he So apparently Bob Dylan's been wearing a hoodie for decades. And he doesn't put the hood down ever, like on stage. And the hood is not down here.

47:18 He's like an 80-something Zoomer. Yeah, exactly.

47:24 It's kind of an interesting look, though.

47:28 It is an interesting look. I agree.

47:31 Pope didn't take his hat off. Well, that's his job.

47:35 Anybody who's complaining. That's true.

47:37 I do think it would be really funny if, like, you walked up to the Pope, he was, like, sitting at a table, and he had the big hat on, and he, like, took it off when he camped, like somebody taking off a top hat. Or, like, tried to, like, spin it. I wonder if he ever tries to do tricks with the Pope hat.

47:53 Is Bob Dylan wearing two hoodies in this photo?

47:55 He looks to be wearing a cardigan and then a hoodie on top.

48:00 Damn, is he double hoodying? It looks like he's got, like, either... He's doing, like, the CSI Miami with the hood.

48:07 He's got so many layers on.

48:08 He's wearing headphones or that's a zipper.

48:10 I can't tell.

48:11 I think that's a zipper. I did think headphones at first, but yeah, he's wearing cash. He's wearing an enormous tie.

48:18 Oh yeah. I think that's an Ascot. Okay. Maybe it's an Ascot. I can't tell.

48:23 I can't get close enough to this photo.

48:25 It really just looks like, uh, it looks like formal street wear where it's like, he's combining a hoodie and Ascot is wild, like together, but you know, he's Bob Dylan up. Ascot.

48:36 Oh, okay.

48:37 There's at least two zippers in the picture. One cardigan. Yeah. Oh, cardigan?

48:41 I feel like he's wearing a jacket. It looks like a suede jacket, a hoodie, and then a button-up.

48:45 Oh, the hoodie's underneath. Okay, got it.

48:47 The hoodie's underneath, I think.

48:49 Anyways.

48:49 Yeah.

48:50 Pope Leo didn't seem to mind.

48:52 He's a big fan.

48:53 They look like, you know, brothers on opposite teams.

48:57 Yeah.

48:58 In the sport they both play.

48:59 In the picture, Pope Leo looks more excited to be there than Bob Dylan does.

49:04 I mean, if the Pope understands one thing, it's wearing too many layers. Like that's speaking his language.

49:11 All right. Let me just knock out, let me block out 45 minutes here to put on my vestments for the day.

49:17 Yeah.

49:18 Are you guys Hallmark Christmas movies? fans yeah i celebrate i'm.

49:22 Not anti or whatever do you really do vince you're no i've never watched one outside of like uh you know having to be on a on a on a hallmark podcast yeah oh.

49:33 That's so cute i usually do the netflix christmas movies so maybe i'm not qualified to be on this segment Well.

49:39 Netflix Christmas movies are essentially Hallmark. Hallmark Christmas movies. That's what I thought.

49:45 Yeah, they're just like, we do it a little different around here in that we pay people even less.

49:53 Oh, no.

49:53 But Hallmark has begun their annual Countdown to Christmas, which features a staggering 34 new Christmas movies and a new season of mistletoe murders.

50:04 Which I don't know what that is. That doesn't sound very Hallmark-y. I guess they're like getting their Hallmark is into true crime now, huh? Yeah. Okay. I might have to check this out. Mistletoe murders.

50:13 Okay.

50:14 Murder mysteries, I guess.

50:17 34 Christmas movies means that their output is more than twice the amount of movies that Stanley Kubrick made in his entire lifetime.

50:24 There's not even that many days of Christmas, are there? No. No, there's only 12. As far as I know. I only know of the 12. Or 9 if you're Jewish. Yeah. The nine days of Jewish Christmas. Eight crazy nights. Should have remembered that.

50:40 Oh, that's okay.

50:41 As Adam Sandler taught us.

50:44 So one of the movies is getting a little bit of unwanted attention due to its use of generative AI. The movie is Adopting Saint Nick. It's about a single mother who runs her dead dad's hardware store and meets a bearded old man at a retirement community who.

51:04 Turns out to be a pervert.

51:05 Oh, damn. Who might be Santa Claus. But people aren't mad. It's a very down-the-middle plot. But there's a bunch of shots.

51:16 He's not a pervert. He just likes to let young children sit on his lap. Get over here.

51:22 So people are pointing out that it's full of A.I.

51:25 Slop.

51:26 And this seems like something that I would have not noticed.

51:32 It's a Hallmark movie. It's the slop. The slop is like her photo albums. Is that what, is there more than that? Photo albums.

51:39 They're saying like signs on the street, which I don't know. Like I, I can't tell really, but like that, that I think the AI has surpassed my, my detection abilities.

51:53 Yeah. I mean, not even from like a, you know, pro labor perspective. I just feel like AI signage depresses me. And it's like, It's like everywhere now. I mean, every, every like store is look how stores look every school event. They have a menu for like the snack bar and the snack bar is always that stupid AI font. Like they'll use it for like t-shirts for like the, you know, like these elementary school, like teachers will be wearing t-shirts that are very odd. And it's like, even if you just did text, that would be better than like the AI slop graphics, in my opinion. Just because it's like that font is so recognizable and it just looks bad.

52:37 It's like this attitudinal scrawl. Like the AI house font is just so awful looking that it gets me sad when I see it. Even Comic Sans was a choice. That's not a choice.

52:49 Right. What if they just went They're like, and in this Christmas wonderland and all the street signs were in Comic Sans.

52:57 Or Papyrus, like the Avatar universe. The Avatar font.

53:01 AI is also getting a little bit of heat because they are... So there's a new racket where they're taking people's stand-up specials or just like, you know, crowd work videos and... giving them to AI models who look like Yassified R. Crumb cartoons. Like their proportions are just like, don't make sense, but they're very much catered to the male gaze. And it's, you know, it's basically the thing that Joe Rogan got famous for calling Carlos Mencia out for doing, but on a massive scale.

53:44 Was Carlos Mencia also a Yassified Arkham? I've never met him.

53:48 In person, so I can't say for sure. But the AI comedians are basically copying pre-existing bits by middle-class comedians, regurgitating them word for word on social media. And the comedians are either on a club stage, sometimes they're talking to conan and conan's like really horny in the clip and some of these are getting like millions and millions of views.

54:18 I mean even aside from the joke theft aspect of it like when did this push for like hot comedian start because it just feels like a weird impulse so we're just like you know what i want i want to fuck the clown like when did we start doing that yeah.

54:37 Yeah, the women look very strange to me. I mean, I don't know. I tend to go to see more female than male comedians, just for no reason. And I've never seen one dressed like this.

54:51 Right. Yeah.

54:54 That's very weird to me. Girls who want to be comedians, I feel like just as a general rule, they also want to be comfortable in their clothing.

55:04 Typically. Not always, but typically. Right.

55:09 It's a casual sport. It's not like going to the club.

55:12 I want to laugh, but also have a boner.

55:18 What does that mean and that's another thing you go out dressed like these ladies who do look hot i mean they're not real so you know barbie hot but still and then you're just gonna get harassed more so like most people aren't interested in like i don't know my like my sister's a comedian in la and like she always looks very cute but she's wearing like little 50s style dresses not like boobs pouring out of the shirt.

55:43 Yeah there's one that's really funny where they like just took it's like a dude doing a set he's doing a joke actually about ai taking people's jobs and then they took that that joke put it on this woman uh this fake like ai woman i forget her name she's like got the craziest like proportioned one where it's just like oh yeah that doesn't seem like a real person it's.

56:09 Yeah it's Kardashian like Latina Kardashian.

56:12 I was gonna say it's weird that the AI generated characters are like incorporating like the fake butts look into the you know like the what they see.

56:23 But they put it on the same stage and gave her the same outfit, but like the guy, instead of the guy, like the guy has like a baggy, like, you know, untucked shirt or whatever.

56:34 What's that? Untuck it, you know, button up shirt.

56:37 And like hers is like tied tightly around her boobs and is like a, you know.

56:42 Not really buttoned at all, only tied.

56:44 Yes, only tied.

56:46 He's wearing like khakis and hers are like, you know, grafted to her body. But yeah, and of course her clip is doing hundreds of thousands of views. And it's one of those things where... Like the sorts of people who are like, I want a hot woman to make me laugh and give me boner are not the sort of people who, when you point this out to them, care.

57:14 They're not like, wait, these aren't their original material?

57:18 You know what could change all of this is if we pass a law that these guys are allowed to sue tech companies if they accidentally jack off to an AI character, like that you should be able to sue for fraud.

57:32 That would actually be the first anti-AI law that passes in America. Yeah.

57:37 It's like, well, it's ruining the sanctity of who this guy jacked off to.

57:45 But yeah, I mean, comedians can't generally sue because jokes have historically had very little copyright protection.

57:52 Which is wild, right? Yeah. Insane. but you can't come into this courtroom clown. We need a special gavel that squeaks for you.

58:04 Apparently the real way, like, so they get the guys who are like, Whoa, like she's funny. And then in the, in the comments that I go, come look at my only fans. And then they have like an AI character, only fans, which I saw somebody being like, That's actually a smart way to market your OnlyFans. I was like, you fucking idiot.

58:27 Stealing other people's work?

58:28 And also, they're not real. They're not a real person, you idiot. She doesn't exist at all. Like, how can you not get your head around that? And he's like, but what? And yeah, so there was a New York Times article and some of these accounts started getting taken down, so... We can celebrate the New York Times again, folks.

58:54 Huge win for us all. Huge win for us all. But it's weird. It's a weird.

58:59 World that we're living in. That sucks for stand-up comedians.

59:03 I need the clown to have a bigger, faker butt. Well, one thing that happens on YouTube is that if.

59:10 somebody puts up a video that has, usually it's an Eminem song in it because he's very litigious, rather than suing them to take it down, they will just start having all the money go to Eminem.

59:25 So that video.

59:26 Will remain monetized. But little, like, probably without them realizing it, all the money just starts going to Eminem. Like, that would be actually, like, if all of the money for these videos and their OnlyFans started going to the comedians, like, maybe then we have some form of justice.

59:47 That seems not bad, actually. I mean, out of a.

59:51 Bunch of shitty options.

59:53 Yeah, they get to decide whether to take it down or not, but I don't know.

59:57 Wait a minute.

59:58 Way to get somebody paid for writing comedy yep not all it takes is not many options yeah well tori such a pleasure having you as always on the podcast uh where can people find you follow you see you hear you all that good stuff.

1:00:15 Um it's a great question uh right now i guess mostly like my podcasts i haven't been on social media much in like the last year because it's just It's all bots.

1:00:28 Fun again.

1:00:29 Hot girls stealing my content. But yeah, I have a podcast called My Homework. And then I co-host a podcast called Go Home Bible, You're Drunk. And you can definitely check those out if you feel so inclined.

1:01:13 I'm sure a lot of people have seen this one, but Dustin Nickerson on Threads said, republicans haven't lost this bad since riley gaines stopped swimming and i fucking love that so that's so good also uh podcast series that i've really been enjoying i um i'm sure like most of your listeners fucking hate tim tebow and um I think like last month, James Dobson's Bastard Kids podcast did like a four or five part series on how shitty Tim Tebow is. That was fucking amazing.

1:01:44 Wow.

1:01:45 It included his volunteer mission to circumcise children. Fucking creepy. Put that man in prison.

1:01:52 Cool.

1:01:53 I'm like, that's pedophile shit. Anyway, if anyone wants to check that out, I've really been enjoying that.

1:01:58 And yeah.

1:01:59 Fuck Tim Tebow. That's my media.

1:02:01 We also talked about a Pablo Torre episode.

1:02:04 Yeah.

1:02:04 This came out before the Pablo, like a, like a, like a couple of weeks before the Pablo Torre episode dropped, but it's like, I don't know. It might be close to 10 hours of podcast.

1:02:13 It was really, really good.

1:02:15 I'm just talking about like his whole background and him being weird and cheating the system and actually not being that good of a football player thing.

1:02:23 I didn't know.

1:02:24 Cause I don't, I only pay attention to the Seattle Seahawks.

1:02:26 So there you go. Yeah. Go Hawks.

1:02:29 Vince, where can people find you? Is there a work.

1:02:32 Media you've been enjoying? Yes, you can find me at Fresno Land Food, where I write about food. Or you can find me at the content report, vincemancini.substack.com. That's where I write about movies. Or on podcasts at patreon.com slash frockcast, where we talk about Mad Men. Something that I've been enjoying.

1:02:51 I mean, this is just like, this is my stupid sense of humor. And I don't know why this made me laugh so much. It's so hard. But this is from Vineyville on Blue Sky. And it just goes, opening lines of the first Gunnar president's State of the Union address. Now, as you all know, I hate jerking off regular. It sucks.

1:03:15 I don't know why that made me laugh so hard, but it really did. Yeah. Yeah. All right. I enjoyed a tweet from Demia. Did you eBay?

1:03:27 A former guest on this show who said, say bye-bye to some gerrymandering and hello to some, to same gender marrying.

1:03:37 Great mouth, mouthfeel on that one.

1:03:39 Yeah, really, really well done by him. You can find me on Twitter at Jack underscore O'Brien. Blue Sky Jack OB, the number one. Instagram Jack underscore O underscore Brian. Oh, I also liked Hannah Einbender's impression of Haley Stevens, if anybody saw that. She was like, as promised, if we win the midterms, I'm going to do my impression of Haley Stevens.

1:04:06 And it was worth the wait.

1:04:07 You can find us on Twitter and blue sky at daily zeitgeist. We're at the daily zeitgeist on Instagram. Uh, you can go to the description of this episode, wherever you're listening to it. And there at the bottom, you will find the footnotes, which is where we link off to the information that we talked about in today's episode, as well as a song that we think you might enjoy. Uh, when miles is out as he is today, we like to ask super producer, Justin, Justin Connor, is there a song that you think people might enjoy?

1:04:37 Yeah, I went to a Halloween hood rave this past weekend and I heard so much good dance music that inspired me, especially because it was a mostly black event. So there was so many fun dance remixes of black music to the point where I think I want to start performing again. Miles and I have been talking about that.

1:04:55 But anyway, this is a MPH remix of a song by Anderson. Paak, Ray Khalil and Toki Monster called Phantasm. on some and even if you don't like dance music you might still enjoy this because it's a smooth ride it has some real instruments and vocals accompanying the pulsing dance beat so This, again, is On Something by Anderson. Paak, Ray Khalil, and Toki Monster, and you can find that in the footnotes.
