Putin Frees American, Hunter Biden Meets Tucker & Tour de France Padded Bra Scandal | TMI Ep 440 · The TMI Show with Ted Rall and Manila Chan

5:21
Hello, good morning. Happy Wednesday. Happy Wednesday.
5:28
Welcome to the TMI show. I'm Manila Chan. There'd
5:31
be producer Robbie. Ted has morphed into a black
5:36
box with the letter T. He's now just a representation
5:41
of himself. Oh, there he is. I don't know what
5:45
happened there. I was all ready to go and then
5:46
I wasn't. Man this new camera I had to like at
5:53
the last second. It just finally the color kicked
5:56
in This is supposed to be some you know, fancy
5:59
schmancy 4k, whatever It's the same brand as
6:02
my old camera but they upgraded with all the
6:05
bells and whistles and all this new technology
6:07
and AI infused, you know lemon scented all that
6:11
stuff And it just kind of sucks ass like I'm
6:16
sorry, I don't think technology necessarily always
6:21
improves I don't like me yeah I don't I don't
6:26
know that this is an improvement I might return
6:28
this thing this thing is a pain anyway how much
6:32
was it like 200 bucks yeah the old cameras better
6:38
work yeah the old camera was like what happened
6:41
no back then it was like now I have it I just
6:43
was upgrading Because everyone's like you got
6:46
to do 4k. That's the new that's the new baseline.
6:50
You got to do 4k. It looks so realistic Yeah,
6:54
but then it comes with all the other crap like
6:57
AI this and it can internally pan and do that
7:00
You can all do all those controls that you would
7:02
otherwise manually do with the old human fingers
7:06
Now you gotta you can do it, you know Well, you're
7:12
fuzzy you look kind of washed out You're going
7:14
to have a really good zoom in, like stroking
7:16
your face, which looks fine. Yeah, I tried. I
7:20
mean, no, you have a very cute face, but it looks
7:22
flatter than the normal Asian face now, which
7:24
is kind of weird. Wait, you just said that again?
7:27
You said that yesterday. You said that yesterday.
7:29
I know it. It was bad yesterday. It's still bad
7:32
today. Well, listen, that's what I do. I always
7:35
double down on my mistakes. All right, that's
7:37
fair. Don't know what to do with this stupid
7:40
camera other than I was testing it out for a
7:43
few days I guess it sucks. So I think it's gonna
7:45
be a big return for this puppy anyway Then they
7:54
charge you $15 for the for the luxury of having
7:58
the privacy lens cap Yeah, test PC test PC says
8:05
don't listen to me Which I know well But with
8:12
with technology Maybe says it looks better today
8:16
the tones a little blue I've been trying to play
8:18
with this thing just it's not Doesn't autocorrect
8:24
the old the old HD camera Was better. I don't
8:29
know that this 4k one is better I look back in
8:34
my day you guys might remember Standard deaf
8:37
teeth. That's when I started in television. Ted,
8:41
standard deaf. Yeah, yeah, me too. I started
8:45
in television in 95. Like this was like in the
8:50
2010s that I started or no, yeah, yeah, 2010s.
8:56
We were still in standard deaf. And then I remember
8:59
I was sitting at the CBS studio in Arizona at
9:03
the time anchoring and we they were like, we're
9:06
doing the big rollout of going HD. We're getting
9:09
HD cameras. So that we can see every zit on your
9:13
face. We didn't know what that meant back then,
9:17
right? This is like 2011, 2012 or something like
9:20
that. Well, we found out quickly. Oh, oh my.
9:24
OK. Well, at least I was in my early 30s. So,
9:26
you know, it was it was like it was it was easier
9:29
to look better on HD. Not when you're pushing
9:34
50. I do have good news. We are only four unique
9:38
chatters away from closing the TMI metrics. So
9:41
we're nearly there. Drop the poops. But now we're
9:44
jumping to this 4K thing. And I don't know what
9:47
the point of 4K is. I think it's for motion or
9:50
something. Like we're supposed to move differently.
9:54
I guess. Yeah, you kind of do. And it kind of
9:57
sucks. It's like, look, have you ever watched
9:59
when you watch 4K? Like, obviously, most people
10:01
have a 4K TV. I have one. And, you know, like
10:05
you look at old movies and the way that they
10:07
look, they look weird. And, you know, so they
10:10
just sort of like you have that thing where it's
10:12
like that. You know what I mean? I never thought
10:17
that before watching I Love Lucy. It looked fine
10:20
on 4K. no lucy well i don't know if i'm saying
10:24
if you watched it if you watch an old thing oh
10:27
when it's turned on 4k tv yeah oh i've actually
10:32
not watched it on the 4k tv i've watched it on
10:35
on the well that'll explain the difference yeah
10:39
oh well see i don't know that it's it's it's
10:44
fugly man it's not good at all i don't know 4k
10:47
is the way to go i think i think the world Well,
10:50
because there's nothing else. There's nothing
10:52
you can do. Yeah. I think everything is moving
10:56
towards 4K, so you can't even get a camera that
10:58
isn't. No. Well, you know why, don't you? I mean,
11:02
there's a reason. It's because if you're investing
11:07
in augmented reality, like Google glasses or
11:09
something, then you need to have that high definition
11:11
video. So that way you can imprint what would
11:18
normally be on a screen. and make it look like
11:21
it's actually part of your real environment.
11:23
That's what it is. Because you think everyone's
11:26
moving towards that? Like all the technology
11:28
companies? Oh, hell yeah. That's the future.
11:31
That's the future. People would be watching us
11:35
in their VR goggles one day? Well, not too distant.
11:40
Yeah. 2028. Yeah. Like glasses like what you
11:45
have with the same thickness with the way that
11:47
they're able to just miniaturize the chips and
11:50
things. That's, I mean, that's where it's going.
11:52
Like the traditional computer screen, like what
11:53
we're using right now, that's within 10 years,
11:56
that's going to be gone. That's going to be gone.
11:59
I don't think I'm, I don't, I'm not good with
12:02
that. I don't want to integrate like, you know,
12:07
the, the internet world into my Well, whether
12:12
you like it or not, capitalism and democracy
12:17
are incompatible. This is not going to be. Ted,
12:21
I don't like it. You're not going to get a vote
12:22
on this. I don't like that this is where it's
12:26
going, man. I was just watching this morning
12:28
lawsuits against the Google, or not Google, sorry,
12:31
the meta glasses, the stupid Ray -Ban meta glasses,
12:35
and how people easily hack them to to you know
12:40
you can cover the the little light and and Mark
12:43
Zuckerberg's like we have the little light there
12:46
so you can you people will know and if you're
12:50
gonna take a picture it has like a small bloop
12:52
like a flash yeah and then yeah and we're like
12:58
okay you watch this and you're like Mark Zuckerberg
13:00
please don't please don't get involved in my
13:04
real life like stay on the screen stay on the
13:07
login screen and that's it But no, this is, I
13:11
guess this is where we're going. Well, we're
13:13
going to see within the next 10 years, I'm going
13:15
to make a prediction here. You're going to see
13:18
the merger of actual cognitive AI with robotics
13:23
linked through augmented reality. That is the
13:26
future. That's what's going to happen. That's
13:28
100 % why this is going to play out. That's how
13:31
self -driving cars are going to work. That's
13:33
why you don't need the flock cameras anymore.
13:35
NASA is going, that's probably the reason why
13:37
there's such a big push for 5G, because you need
13:39
the bandwidth to make it work. And all the data
13:42
centers. Yep. I don't like that kind of future,
13:46
man. Anyway, so this dystopian future is brought
13:50
to you only by the TMI show. That's Ted Rall
13:55
and that's producer Robbie with all the dystopian
13:59
forecast. So enjoy your robot AI overlords. I'm
14:05
just going to I'm just going to not exist on
14:07
the VR world. I guess that's how it's going to
14:09
be. I guess if you don't go. I've got to ask
14:11
you as a bonus. What do you think about the AOC
14:13
stuff? Oh. You know what I'm talking about. Her
14:17
supposed split up with her fiance and then. Well,
14:21
it didn't make any sense like why she'd be at
14:24
the age of almost 37, why she'd be freezing her
14:27
eggs. Freezing. Now it does. And it's like now
14:29
it all comes down. It's like. She's doing this
14:33
because she broke up and now she doesn't know
14:34
who she's going to be mating with. The baby daddy
14:37
is going to be? So she's like, yeah. It could
14:41
be that she didn't want like ginger babies. Well,
14:44
I wouldn't blame her. Not the ginger babies in
14:48
general would be bad. But that was not a good
14:52
looking guy. He was not. He was a Shrek looking
14:55
motherfucker. I don't think that she's gorgeous.
14:58
Although she's cute by Capitol Hill standards.
15:01
Oh, Jesus. She's a fucking beauty by Capitol
15:04
Hill standards. But like I was going to say,
15:07
though, she's a xenomorph. I mean, she's one
15:09
of those girls like you never, you never know
15:11
what you're going to get. Right. Like sometimes
15:13
she's damn fucking cute. Other times she's damn
15:16
fugly. By the way, okay, let's speculate. Why
15:20
did they break up? He's a ginger. Oh, come on.
15:27
And pudgy. He was a pudgy ginger when they got
15:29
together. Could it be that she cheated or that
15:35
they weren't spending enough time together because
15:38
of her work? Or could it be... No, I think, no,
15:43
no, I'm going to go, I'm going to be, I'm going
15:45
to be more cynical. Or is she a bitch? Or is
15:47
he? Maybe all of those things are true. Or is
15:49
she boring? No, no, I'm going to be more cynical.
15:52
I'm going to say she is plotting an eventual,
15:57
maybe not 2028 run. It could be. I don't know.
16:00
I think she's going to run for Senate. Or something.
16:03
She's going to run. It's a career move. It's
16:05
a career move. and her handlers told her it will
16:10
look better if you're gonna shit on Whitey not
16:13
to marry Whitey. You're gonna have to marry,
16:16
it's an arranged marriage, you're gonna have
16:18
to marry another Latino or some, an ethnic other
16:23
because you can't continue to poo poo on Whitey.
16:26
I don't know, being married to the Whitey is,
16:28
no, I think being married to a Whitey would have
16:30
saved her and like unified the party and gotten
16:34
the bros behind her. Her whole position is shitting
16:38
on Whitey. So you can't marry Whitey and be shitting
16:42
on Whitey. Like you can't, you can't do that.
16:44
Well these days she's been shitting on BLM. Did
16:46
you hear about her woke one, woke two, woke three,
16:48
woke four thing? She basically, she's like woke
16:52
one, which included BLM was bullshit is basically
16:54
what she said. I'm like, Oh, someone's pivoting
16:58
to the right. Someone's getting ready for a run.
17:01
By the way, she, I have to say, I was surprised
17:04
at how What's the word I'm looking for? How stupid
17:08
she sounded? Sure sounds stupid. Ted, you didn't
17:11
know that from before. I mean just go back to
17:14
the Munich Security Conference a couple months
17:16
ago. I know everybody focuses on her on her chest
17:20
or booty. She does have a nice little body. She's
17:26
busty. And now that she's like, you know, when
17:29
she showed her little Her little tummy when she
17:32
was poking herself with the needle. I was like
17:34
that looks guys like that guys like a little
17:37
bit of tummy so Well, that doesn't explain the
17:42
breakup Okay, that doesn't this does not explain
17:45
level one level two three and four of whoa I
17:49
know. Yeah. Yeah, we're in like phase four. It's
17:51
like it's like woke as a video game I'm gonna
17:53
give her I'm gonna give her the benefit of the
17:56
doubt Which is something I normally would not
17:58
do but in this case, I think I will Is there
18:00
a doubt to benefit? Well, for example, as a married
18:05
man, if I proposed to my wife six years ago and
18:09
I still have not set a date to actually put one
18:13
of these on your hand and give you my last name,
18:17
then that tells me maybe you're not committed.
18:21
Well, but whose fault is that? She probably wouldn't
18:24
take his last name anyway. By the way, I'm going
18:25
to say. I mean, it's a commitment thing. You
18:28
can't, yeah, she already has two last names.
18:31
You know, I'm with Dr. Laura. You're not really
18:35
engaged unless you have a ring and a date, right?
18:39
I mean, people are like, I'm engaged. I mean,
18:41
engaged is like... Like infinite engagement.
18:44
Yeah, that's not a thing, right? Yeah, because
18:47
she never announced a date. If it's March 29th...
18:52
2029. Okay, fine. But like, pick one, whatever.
18:54
Just say a date. Just say one. Maybe I'm giving
19:00
her a dose of humanity that she doesn't deserve.
19:03
Probably. But I mean, the normal red -blooded
19:08
American in me just says that you got to pick
19:12
a date to have the ceremony and have a committed
19:16
relationship. If you don't have that, then all
19:19
you are is you're shacking up. That's all it
19:24
is. Well, that's what they're doing. Well, that's
19:26
what they were doing. Well, I don't know. Well,
19:29
then it's not fine. Then he's not her fiance.
19:32
OK, so two questions before we move on. How did
19:35
you how is it that she managed to cover up a
19:38
breakup that was anywhere from six to 24 months
19:41
ago for so long? And how come it broke now? Was
19:45
it because of the it broke now because of this?
19:47
The egg freezing thing, right? Yeah. Yeah people
19:50
were questioning like why do you keep to only
19:52
saying me or my eggs? I she never used the we
19:56
Yeah, like what's going on video? Yeah, by the
19:59
way, by the way, if they if she was still with
20:02
the dude They could implant they could have created
20:05
embryos and frozen them instead. Oh, that's a
20:09
whole mess in and of itself That's a mess though.
20:12
She was complaining in her video that she had
20:14
to spend eight thousand dollars and that she
20:17
claimed that she had to save up over the course
20:19
of years. Now, I understand that for most people,
20:23
$8 ,000 is a lot of money and that you'd have
20:26
to save that up for years, but not her. I mean,
20:29
she makes 200 grand a year. Yes. Like, you're
20:32
in Congress and all the perks, all the perks
20:35
of being in Congress, like there's nary a meal
20:38
that you have to pay for. No, yeah. You have
20:41
a health club, right? For free. You have a gym.
20:44
Everything's there. You get your housing subsidized
20:48
by all of us. What is she talking about? So really,
20:53
you're just pocketing $200K. Yeah. I mean, come
20:56
on. You're an SES level pay. $8 ,000 for her
20:59
ought to just be like a squeeze for a month or
21:01
two. A week. No, but it's literally a week's
21:04
paycheck. Right. So it's like, yeah, maybe that
21:09
week she's trying to keep up the week. She's
21:12
trying to keep up the whole, you know, Jenny
21:14
from the block appeal that she had in the blog
21:17
at all. No, she's from Schenectady. So. Well,
21:22
that's true, too. Well, she shows everyone who
21:24
she is by not supporting people who she would
21:28
who she claims are politically aligned to her.
21:31
And she always votes with with the with the corporatists
21:34
in her party. That's true. So anyone who thinks
21:37
that ABC is a reformer. And she didn't endorse
21:40
Francesca Hong. Francesca Hong. Yeah, yeah. Neither
21:43
did Bernie. And Bernie, Bernie's... They're both
21:46
on my shit list for today. She said, she said
21:49
her AOC's excuse for Francesca Hong for governor
21:52
was, was I'm busy focusing on winning Senate
21:57
and House races. And then Bernie said... Those
22:01
are words. Oh, I'm not familiar with that race.
22:04
I can't, I can't support anything. I'm not familiar
22:07
with it. But then he went and Bernie did. He
22:11
went and backed Peggy Flanagan in one state over
22:15
in Minnesota for governor. He was familiar. A
22:20
couple of months ago with Peggy Flanagan. A couple
22:23
of months ago, they were here in Montana campaigning
22:25
for one of the Democrats in Missoula. So they
22:30
were here. They were here. They were in Montana.
22:34
They were in Missoula at the University of Missoula
22:36
campus out there, you know, with our tranny that's
22:42
there in Helena and all these and just the propping
22:46
up the corporatist approved Democrats. So please
22:50
do not tell me you're a reformer when you do
22:53
everything you possibly can to blow up the reformist.
22:56
Screw you. Her whole like Latina girl from the
23:01
Bronx is like Like I think and I think that's
23:06
why people people know that this is like phony
23:09
baloney so especially being engaged to like the
23:12
whitest white guy since Conan O 'Brien like She
23:16
had to she had to break up with him because she
23:18
can't keep up that ruse or that that whole image
23:23
If you're married to Whitey, when your whole
23:26
act is saying Whitey is the oppressor, they're
23:29
evil, like cis straight white men, she was gonna
23:33
marry a cis straight white man. So you can't
23:37
say that if you're gonna marry one. Yeah. Oh
23:41
mama bear, I love mama bear so much. Mama Nancy
23:46
probably told her you gotta. If that's your,
23:49
Democrats do better. Republicans, at least, we
23:51
have an excuse. We are owned by the Israeli lobby.
23:55
At least y 'all have an evangelical wing of boomers
24:00
to get on their knees. At least they admit it.
24:02
I mean, seriously, do better. Yeah, at least
24:07
they admit it. So bad. There's the Malayos, you
24:09
think. It's so sketch. Anyway, that was our bonus
24:11
topic. Let's get to our plan topics. And I don't
24:14
think honestly, oh no, we do have, I was going
24:17
to say we don't get ads anymore, but we do get
24:20
Well this one ad should I Should we do it Robbie?
24:24
It's rumble premium. Oh Maybe not do it. Well
24:28
do it because that's one of the things that should
24:30
get paid because I was going through So basically
24:35
what rumble is doing is that they're pushing
24:37
more into a subscription based model and getting
24:40
away from ads So if someone signs up for rumble
24:43
premium through our show That's the key through
24:47
our show. So if you're on Rumble right now, and
24:49
if you're not a premium subscriber, you're going
24:51
to see a little red premium button. Click on
24:55
that. That way the show will get profit sharing.
24:57
If you don't, if you just use the URL, then Rumble
25:01
gets the money and they don't share it with the
25:03
creator. Oh, okay. Well, let's click it and see.
25:09
Click it and do it. Alright, here we are, guys.
25:13
So you've probably noticed Rumble isn't slowing
25:16
down. More creators, more content, and a platform
25:19
that's actually putting users and free speech
25:21
first. And if you're watching here regularly,
25:24
there's a way to upgrade your entire experience.
25:26
Right now, Rumble is running a limited time summer
25:29
sale on Rumble Premium, and it's the lowest price.
25:32
they've ever offered. With Premium, you get ad
25:35
-free viewing across the platform, no pre -rolls,
25:37
no interruptions, just the content you actually

26:51
assessment is probably right that they're Ad,
26:54
you know ad Advertisers are pulling away No question
27:02
fewer ads Okay, so first up, Robert Gilman, a
27:12
former US Marine, was released from detention
27:14
in Russia last night and was on his way back
27:18
to the US. Gilman, age 32 now, was held in a
27:23
Russian prison for more than four years and was
27:25
released amid severe concerns for his health,
27:28
they say. US President Donald Trump said in a
27:30
social media post that he discussed the case
27:33
with Russian President Vladimir Putin. who agreed
27:36
to release Gilman on a humanitarian basis. Quote,
27:40
we appreciate this decision and the fact that
27:42
Russia asked for no one in return. No exchange
27:45
took place. Trump wrote. He said he spoke with
27:49
Gilman, who had one request, quote, a great cheeseburger
27:53
when he lands. I thought he was. I thought the
27:56
dude. Don't give it away. Don't give it away.
27:58
Don't give it away. Don't spoil shit. Don't be
28:00
a spoiler. Gilman was expected. was expected
28:04
to arrive late Tuesday at Joint Base Andrews
28:07
near Washington, D .C. He would then be taken
28:09
to a U .S. military hospital in Texas to be treated
28:13
and then assessed. Global Reach, an organization
28:16
advocating on the behalf of the Gilman family,
28:20
told media these little details of what, you
28:23
know, his upon landing, what's going to happen.
28:26
Senator Ed Markey, Democrat in Massachusetts.
28:29
whose office had worked with Gilman's family
28:31
and campaigned for his release said in a statement
28:33
that Gilman was diagnosed about 50 days ago with
28:37
dissociative stupor, a condition where he is
28:41
non -responsive and unable to interact or eat.
28:45
Catching our drift here. He was essentially catatonic
28:49
and also suffered a severe case of pneumonia.
28:53
I know that sucks. Pneumonia sucks ass. We don't
28:57
yet know the full details of his current condition
28:59
or the long -term impact on his recovery," said
29:02
Markey. Russian authorities in the Southwestern
29:12
city of Voronezh arrested Gilman back in January
29:16
17 of 2022 for allegedly beating a police officer.
29:22
He was given a three and a half year sentence
29:24
that was extended several times up to 10 years
29:27
for also attacking prison guards. His supporters
29:31
deny those allegations. On June 30, Gilman was
29:36
moved from his prison hospital to a civilian
29:39
hospital in Voronezh where officials reported
29:43
his status as dire and life threatening according
29:46
to Global Reach. Gilman is or was at this point
29:51
at least one of 10 known U .S. citizens imprisoned
29:56
in Russia. So Ted, you and I are thinking the
29:59
same thing. Yep. Senator Markey says, or Congressman
30:03
Markey, Senator, Congressman, Representative
30:07
Markey? Congressman. Senator. Senator, right?
30:12
Senator Ed Markey. If you're from Massachusetts,
30:15
you have to be named Ed to be a senator. Sometimes
30:19
I have to say, the title with their name before
30:22
it clicks in my head that, oh, that's the right
30:25
one. Senator, who I've met, who has very wiry
30:29
white hair, if you guys go and look him up in
30:31
person, it's very, it looks almost fake. Easy
30:34
with the white hair in the comments there. But
30:36
it's wiry, Ted, it's not like a smooth, it looks
30:40
like, what are those dogs with the wiry hair?
30:44
You know what I'm talking about? It's not like
30:46
a normal coat, that's what his hair looks like
30:48
in real life. I'm not shit talking him. I'm just
30:51
like using that as a description. I'm looking
30:54
him up and see if he's in my... Yeah, he's not
30:57
porn worthy. Porn? What? No. By the way, I don't
31:02
know if he's really got wiry hair. He just looks
31:04
old as shit. His hair, though. He's 80 years
31:08
old. Oh, he's 80 now? Yeah, I mean, he's like
31:11
fucking... Although I know by congressional standards
31:13
that makes him like a child. Yeah, he that's
31:16
the first ever. By the way, he is an ugly fucking
31:20
dude. It's Capitol Hill, Ted. So he says, remember,
31:24
he used the words catatonic, unresponsive, unable
31:29
to eat. But then he this guy, Gilman, gets on
31:32
the phone with Trump. And the first thing he
31:34
fucking tells Potus when I land, give me a bugger
31:37
like like what? Wait, wait, wait. Like, something's
31:42
not true here. You just told us, Senator, you
31:44
just told us. He said he can't eat. He said he
31:46
can't eat. He's catatonic. Since the one he made
31:49
a burger. So what the fuck? Maybe they're going
31:53
to do rectal feeding like they do at Guantanamo.
31:55
So it made me think of, do you remember the kid
31:57
that came from, that was taken out of North Korea?
32:00
Kim Jong -un gave him up after he was already
32:03
catatonic. something auto auto something he literally
32:07
died shortly upon right arrival i don't really
32:09
know what the point was of working so hard to
32:12
get him back but yeah right something auto something
32:15
i think was his name auto i forget um but that's
32:18
catatonic that's unresponsive this dude probably
32:23
from like south boston or something was busy
32:26
getting i remember covering this for rt yeah
32:29
i remember covering this for rt he's like ben
32:32
afleck yeah Yes, he's a Southie. He was he got
32:37
in a fucking bar brawl inside the bar with some
32:40
Russian local guys Yep, and then and then he
32:43
went outside the cops were arresting him for
32:45
disorderly conduct and he starts swinging at
32:48
the cops Yeah, I guess he kicked a cop, right?
32:55
Yeah, the question I mean the question is should
32:57
they have taken that seriously and viewed that
33:00
as a salt If this asshole was at a local bar
33:07
in New York City and did the same thing and swung
33:09
at an NYPD cop, he would be in jail, too. Bad
33:13
things would have happened to him. Yeah, that's
33:15
true. Bad things would have happened. NYPD, the
33:17
blue coat of silence, they would have beat his
33:20
fucking ass. I was going to say, he might have
33:21
died here. NYPD would have beat his ass. They
33:26
would have taken him unmarked car. You know I
33:29
love my Russians, and I love Russia. But you
33:32
do know, come on, Russian police, you guys have
33:36
dealt with drunken people before. But that's
33:42
why they just they were arresting him and the
33:45
judge gave him three years or whatever. But then
33:48
dude obviously has anger problems. He starts
33:51
swinging at the correctional officers. He was
33:54
in full. Yeah, he's a Saudi. Of course he did.
33:57
So he's fucking swinging. Look, he sounds like
33:59
he was mentally ill anyway. He's swinging at
34:02
corrections, right? Because according to the
34:04
Russians, they they I mean, of course, obviously,
34:06
right? Like, you know, in any country, you have
34:09
to always doubt what the cops say. But Ted, your
34:12
audio is really low right now. OK. Well, all
34:16
right. I don't know what to say. But basically,
34:18
they thought he was. What's the word I'm looking
34:22
for? An asshole. They thought he was mentally
34:25
ill, right? They transferred him out of the prison
34:29
colony and sent him to a mental health facility
34:32
because he was cuckoo. Yeah, he was swinging
34:36
at everybody near him and refusing to eat and
34:39
doing weird shit. So they sent him to the health
34:45
ward. And then from there, they moved him to
34:48
a civilian hospital, which they thought could
34:51
better. Oh, there goes Ted, which could better
34:54
care for him. And I think the interesting thing
34:58
here is that Vladimir Putin did not ask for a
35:01
one -on -one exchange. Robbie, you can jump in
35:04
here, too, while Ted's fixing his audio. That's
35:11
usually the case. Usually the Russians want to
35:16
use any Americans detained there as as a bargaining
35:21
chip, obviously, but that didn't happen here.
35:24
That did not happen. So, Ted, I was just saying
35:28
that Vladimir Putin didn't use him as a bargaining
35:30
chip. You know, that rat bastard Vladimir Putin.
35:34
He could have. He could have, but he didn't.
35:36
If I'm Putin, I'm like, this is kind of like
35:39
Castro when he sent all the criminals to Florida.
35:42
It's kind of like Russia's loss is America's
35:47
gain. Enjoy. You have Mr. Gilman back. You have
35:52
a great, great American. Great American Marine
35:56
veteran. Maybe he legitimately, maybe he legitimately
36:01
is sick and Putin just like that. This is not
36:04
a problem. It's not worth us paying for it. It's
36:06
not worth us taking care of him. Yeah, it's like
36:09
P .W. Walker says, Dear President Putin, get
36:12
this motherfucking American out of our system
36:14
because we don't want to deal with this dumb,
36:16
dumb fuck anymore. Thank you, Prison Guards of
36:19
Russia Association. That's probably it. And Macedon,
36:23
you know you're a pain in the ass when the Russians
36:25
want you out of their gulag. They're just like,
36:28
OK, we don't even want to deal with this motherfucker.
36:30
You guys take this southy ass back. Goodbye.
36:34
Banish him. Trump's like, what do you want to
36:36
return? We're full up on drunken assholes. Well,
36:41
Russia also, in fairness, Russia is a real country.
36:45
It's a serious country. They have borders. They
36:47
have deportation laws. Why would you keep someone
36:51
else's migrant or unwelcome guest? Why not just
36:55
send them back from the shithole from which they
36:57
respond? But look, this is what I hate, Ted.
37:00
They should not have even kept him that long.
37:02
You and I have traveled a great Lot because of
37:05
our you know our careers and and probably because
37:08
you're you're very adventurous I've traveled
37:10
a lot because of my career that allowed me to
37:14
be adventurous, but This is what I hated was
37:18
that drunk American assholes like this Give us
37:22
a bad name. This is why people hate us abroad.
37:25
This is why they think this is what Americans
37:28
are Yeah, we're loud obnoxious and we get drunk
37:33
Yeah. When I was in Brazil, I told the story
37:36
before about how I've just beat the crap out
37:39
of that dude from Boston or that there at this
37:41
restaurant. From Boston. There you go. This guy,
37:43
he has kept grabbing this Brazilian girl and
37:47
she wouldn't stop. And I was just like, dude,
37:50
why don't you just stop? I said, you're such
37:52
an obnoxious fucking Yankee. And of course he
37:55
hears my accent. And next thing you know, I'm
37:58
punched him in the mouth. I've still got the
37:59
scar on my knuckle from I caught his tooth. And,
38:03
uh, I got the meal for free. He got escorted
38:05
out and I was able to go in Brazil whenever I
38:08
was there. It was just after the revolution.
38:10
And so there were a lot of, there are a lot of
38:13
places that said no tourists allowed. I was able
38:16
to go in because I was basically adopted, but
38:20
my Portuguese is atrocious. It did not matter.
38:24
If you ever have a hip note, something funny.
38:27
Probably don't think funny or be trying to speak
38:29
Chinese to the southern accent, but trying to
38:31
speak Portuguese to the southern accent was amazing
38:33
They said I sound like a drunk cowboy. That's
38:35
two years old Yeah port. Well, Portuguese is
38:38
a very strange. Like I feel like Russian is American
38:42
English played backwards It does sound like that.
38:47
Really, think about it. It sounds like it. And
38:51
Portuguese... Is it like playing a Led Zeppelin
38:55
album backwards? You might hear a message. You
38:59
might hear the devil. It's kind of like that.
39:02
And then with Portuguese, it's like some bizarro
39:06
Spanish where it's like, dude, are you drunk
39:09
trying to speak Spanish to me? What is this?
39:12
Like, what are you saying? But that I get it.
39:15
But anyway, this guy gives us all a bad name
39:17
when we're traveling abroad. And and for the
39:20
Marines like, dude, that's not that is not a
39:25
a stereotype that you boys should be proud of.
39:28
Like I mentioned Okinawa yesterday. The Okinawans
39:31
have desperately for the past 50 years been they've
39:36
been picketing nonstop for 50 years. Get off
39:39
our island because the the young drunk marines
39:43
there are raping the women are are they're just
39:47
hooligans they get drunk they like get in street
39:50
fights like with the locals with each other they
39:53
just cause a disruption the the oak and owens
39:56
have been like get this marine base the fuck
39:58
out of here for like 50 years and america's like
40:02
yeah no no But in this case, whatever, like,
40:07
I think that's, God bless Vladimir Putin for
40:09
doing that. And he didn't, he could have asked
40:12
for somebody in return, like, like we usually
40:15
see, but he didn't. He was just like, get this
40:16
fucking asshole out of this country. Out. Goodbye.
40:21
Oh. It cost him nothing. Honestly, it cost him
40:23
absolutely nothing to do it. Maybe he said we're
40:25
giving himself some goodwill. Yeah, that's literally
40:27
all it is. Yeah, of course. And look, a little
40:30
goodwill is never a bad thing to have. No, no,
40:33
no. I agree. And I needed to answer. I forgot.
40:36
I was going to answer. The viewers yesterday
40:38
were asking, they asked, why did I continue to
40:41
work for RT if it branded me with the scarlet
40:44
letter? I'll tell you why, very simply. Because,
40:49
not because I'm some weird Putin apologists like
40:54
obsessed with Putin or obsessed with Russia or
40:56
the culture, anything like that. I learned about
40:58
the culture because I worked with them and learned
41:00
that they are not the stereotype that Americans
41:03
think and Ted knows because he worked for Sputnik.
41:07
Like I worked with them for over a decade. The
41:09
reason I went to work with them in the first
41:11
place was I've mentioned before I used to work.
41:14
I worked in mainstream media. I was on the CBS
41:17
corporate path headed to headed to work with
41:21
Gayle King. I mean truly like gale knew my name
41:24
we would record things like I was on that path
41:27
right the corporate ladder and when I got literally
41:33
um a cease and desist letter from corporate because
41:36
I was doing like I it was sweeps uh you know
41:39
you know what those are ted like sweep season
41:41
so I had to do like a special investigative report
41:44
and and my thing was because um I work for general
41:47
motors I have some deep understanding of how
41:49
things work and that was when their ignition
41:53
Switch problems were happening and killing all
41:55
these people and so I was doing a story on that
41:57
It was like a multi -part series because again,
41:59
it was sweeps. We're trying to get like, you
42:01
know our ratings up and I had a cease and desist
42:05
letter from corporate in New York and they basically
42:10
told me I had to kill my series so I Effectively
42:14
could not do my job as a journalist as a reporter.
42:17
That's what I knew I had to get out and And I
42:22
was familiar with RT, because I've lived and
42:24
worked abroad. And they were probably one of
42:28
the main English speaking news channels that
42:31
you could find, RT or BBC. That was basically
42:34
it, or Sky News, right? That was about it. But
42:38
I really liked RT because they were very cutting
42:40
edge and they were very modern. And when I got
42:44
there, I took the job, came to DC, and I got
42:47
here. and they gave me so much latitude to explore
42:52
stories the way I wanted. But why did you go
42:54
for the Russians instead of, I think pertinent
42:57
to the question, why did you go work for the
42:59
Russians as opposed to looking for another mainstream
43:02
corporate job? No, I decided I was out. I was
43:05
out from mainstream. After that, I was like,
43:07
nope, fuck this. I'm not working for mainstream.
43:10
You're going to censor me and not let me do my
43:12
job as a reporter. I don't want to work for this
43:15
shit. So RT, I like that. That might not have
43:18
happened at another corporation. That's not true.
43:22
That's not true. You fucking know that. I have
43:24
plenty of friends in the industry. It's definitely
43:26
not true. Ted's trying to play devil's advocate,
43:30
but for you guys who don't know, I mean, if you're
43:32
in media, you have friends in media and I know.
43:35
So I knew that I was like, this is it. This is
43:37
the end for free speech and true journalism.
43:40
This is the fucking end. So I opted for RT because
43:44
like they were, like I said, like modern and
43:48
cutting edge. And I didn't want to go work for
43:50
like BBC and be all like stuffy. And, you know,
43:53
I didn't, I don't want that. I didn't want to
43:54
go skydiving. I did not want that. I went to,
44:00
I went to RT. Hold on. Let me finish. The reason
44:02
I stuck around was because RT never ever. ever,
44:07
never once dictated what I could say. They've
44:10
never, like, they cross -check my scripts for
44:13
editorial, I mean, I don't mean editorializing,
44:16
I mean editorial purposes to make sure grammatically
44:19
things are, you know, that's it. But for the
44:21
most part, after they learned that they could
44:22
trust my writing, nobody ever even gave a second
44:26
look to any of my scripts after like two or three
44:29
years. They were like, eh, Manila knows what
44:30
she's doing, we trust her, it's fine. Nobody
44:32
ever, like most of the time, most of my stories
44:35
got greenlit. I could cover what I wanted, the
44:39
way I wanted, and nobody ever told me or my guests
44:43
what we could or could not say on air, apart
44:45
from F -bombs. So basically the stories that
44:47
you're seeing us cover. Well, that's because
44:48
it was on terrestrial radio, right? No, no, on
44:52
TV. Cable TV, cable TV. So sans the F -bombs.
44:57
You could do asshole? I could do, no, you can't
45:00
do that on TV, on TV news. Terrestrial radio,
45:06
you can do asshole. I used to do it on cable
45:08
pie all the time. Really? We couldn't do that
45:10
on basic. We were on basic cable. It was George
45:13
Carlin's Seven Dirty Words. Oh, yeah. We couldn't
45:17
do that on... And, you know, the tone of the
45:20
show is a serious news program, but got a little
45:23
more teeth to it. But the long and the short
45:25
of it was that the Russians actually believed
45:29
more in our First Amendment than our... own American
45:35
media believes in the First Amendment right and
45:38
freedom of the press. All right. Robbie, what's
45:39
your question for me? So, well, my question is,
45:42
you mentioned how free the Russians were with
45:45
allowing you to work. Contrast that with the
45:48
Chinese, with CNN, what was all they call their?
45:51
CGTN. CGT, yeah. Do they control what their anchors
45:56
and what their guests are able to say? Like,
45:57
are they more authoritarian? Like, you will say
46:00
this. Yeah. Yes. I know 100 % me too. Yeah, that's
46:06
why I mean not that they've offered me anything
46:08
and I'm not saying they don't do good work, but
46:11
like yeah, you're definitely They monitor every
46:15
letter you can every I every T you can tell by
46:18
the way how buttoned up they are You better tow
46:22
the party line or bad things are gonna happen
46:27
Well, that's the bad thing. You're not being
46:29
sent to Xinjiang to some camp. You're just not
46:34
going to be on the air anymore. Well, that's
46:35
my point. Are you fired? So do what you say or
46:38
you're done? Yeah. I've had the most freedom
46:40
of speech and latitude in my career with them.
46:43
Let's just say you think Zelensky is awesome
46:47
and you really hate Vladimir Putin. Probably,
46:51
which is not the case for me. So that might be,
46:54
it could over time be an issue working for the
46:57
Russians. But I mean, come on, that's true. That's
47:00
like, don't go work for ESPN if you, if you hate
47:03
football and you're going to say it. I mean,
47:05
it's, it's like, it's, it's not, then you're
47:07
just like not aligned. You just don't, you really
47:10
shouldn't be there, you know? Yeah. Yeah. So
47:13
you certainly like an RT or Sputnik if you wanted
47:16
to say like, oh, I think Putin fucked up when
47:19
he did this or whatever. You could totally say
47:21
that. You can play that. We've had guests go
47:24
on the show and say crazy, like random, where
47:27
I was like, oh my. But nothing, like no one,
47:33
Pootie didn't get on the bat phone and have like
47:36
some, you know, Chechen thugs come like off the
47:38
guest or anything. Throw them out the window.
47:42
After your appearance with Vanilla Chan, he's
47:45
missing. Polonium tea. Yeah, no, none of that
47:48
happened. Ricin in the umbrella. Right I was
47:51
there for 10 years and and and I will say before
47:55
the campaign against the media campaign against
47:57
RT The guests were they were nervous about coming
48:01
on at first and then later the producers would
48:04
follow up and they're like oh my god I had such
48:06
a great time like this is the first time you
48:08
know you guys didn't give me talking points like
48:10
producers you guys being producers didn't give
48:12
me talking points that I had to cover or pre
48:15
-interview me or do whatever so people would
48:18
continually come back to the show big name people
48:20
um and obviously back back then it was like the
48:23
Ed Schultz day everybody loved Ed Schultz so
48:26
everybody was on with Ed Schultz and Larry King
48:28
too Larry was on with me regularly every Wednesday
48:31
I think was his day and everybody loved Larry
48:33
and they all loved working with and for RT And
48:38
that's why, was because RT never told them how
48:41
to do their job. I know Tucker's on the docket,
48:46
so we're going to bring it up right now. We're
48:47
talking about freedom of speech. Yeah. And there's
48:49
some requests to talk on among the chatters.
48:52
Yeah. So do you think that Tucker had more freedom
48:56
with interviewing Putin and asking the questions
48:59
he asked him than he would have had, say, if
49:01
he ever got a chance to sit down and interview
49:03
Donald Trump? I don't think Vladimir Putin would
49:12
ever say this topic or that topic is off limits
49:15
or that he would feel like he couldn't handle
49:17
any question. He has 800 years of history stored
49:22
in there. Vladimir Putin is going to just show
49:24
up and talk and he's not worried about a thing.
49:26
That's why he did that annual press thing. It's
49:29
like six hours of press pelting him on live TV.
49:33
International press. So that shows you how sharp
49:37
he is. And Russian people who call in, right?
49:39
Like ordinary Russian voters. He will literally
49:41
stand there for six hours once a year. It's like
49:45
this media scrum. He does it every year and he
49:48
just lets everybody pile on whatever you want
49:52
to ask and he answers. We'd have to ask Tucker
49:56
if he was told, you know, were there any limits?
49:58
What limits, if any, were there? I bet there's
50:02
one. My daughter. Do not talk about where my
50:06
do not talk about my daughter Yeah, yeah, the
50:11
kids are off limits sir bikes a lot. Thank you
50:14
for the donation Sir bikes a lot says Dimitri
50:17
lascaris is Reporting that the Times of Israel
50:21
is reporting that Abdul El -Sahed is seeking
50:24
a pack support That's why Francesca Hong lost
50:28
last night I'm, wait, what? I don't know. I don't
50:32
think so. I'm so skeptical. No way. Times of
50:35
Israel is full of it. El -Sayed is, like, literally...
50:39
That's an op. That's a, that's a, that's a, that's
50:41
a psy -op. Like, no. Yeah. Obviously, El -Sayed
50:44
is, like, super against AIPAC. Yeah, not to mention,
50:49
AIPAC's already endorsed his Republican opponent.
50:52
AIPAC spent tons of money against his, his primary
50:56
opponent. So, all right. But... We hear you.
50:59
All right, next next story. But anyway, I hope
51:01
that answers your guys's questions. Let's do
51:02
it. Let's do it. We got three we got three stories
51:04
to get through in three stories in nine minutes.
51:08
Can we do it? All right. The Social Security
51:10
Administration is expanding a program designed
51:13
to speed the disability decisions for people
51:16
with some very serious medical conditions. The
51:19
administration announced that it has added 14
51:21
conditions to its compassionate allowances list.
51:25
bringing the total to 314. The added conditions,
51:29
so these allow applications to be processed more
51:32
quickly. Oh my gosh, some of these I'm never
51:35
going to be able to pronounce, starting with
51:36
this one. Adenol, adenolosuc, succinate, lyas,
51:45
deficiency, neonatal, neonatal, natal form. And
51:50
type 1? Manila, I'll never forgive you for this.
51:52
Alkari syndrome. That's why I gave it to you.
51:56
Breitzer -Winter syndrome. Bear -Stevenson -Cudis
51:59
-Gerata system syndrome. Boring -Opitz syndrome.
52:05
Casque -related gene disorders. I don't even
52:06
know what any of these things are. That's what
52:08
I'm saying! Hepatospelinic T -cell lymphoma.
52:12
Lephora disease. Malignant migrating partial
52:16
seizures of infancy or MMPSI. OPHN1 syndrome,
52:23
primary cardiac sarcoma, primary intercradial
52:27
malignant melanoma, uveal melanoma with metastases,
52:31
and I'd also like some mustard on the side, Warburg
52:36
micro syndrome. Compassionate allowances do not
52:39
create a separate disability. benefit or automatically
52:42
why did you put this in or automatically guarantee
52:45
payments indeed instead they allow social security
52:48
to identify applicants whose medical conditions
52:51
are so severe that they're likely to meet existing
52:54
disability requirements and move everything through
52:57
quickly according to social security more than
53:01
1 .2 million people have been approved for disability
53:05
benefits through the accelerated non -shitty
53:08
process since the program Less shitty. Yes. This
53:12
took effect on the 10th. So I just thought that
53:15
was like one... And if I mispronounced your disease,
53:19
I'm sorry. It's because I suffer from retardation.
53:24
Which will allow me to apply for expedited Social
53:27
Security benefits. There you go. Remember, Ted
53:30
Raul is a cartoonist. Forgive him, Science World.
53:34
Brain of cartoonist, very small. So, I just thought
53:38
that was a cool thing that like no one else,
53:41
I promise you, Ted, we're the only show that
53:43
covered that. No one knows. With reason. No,
53:47
but somebody out there listening might be like,
53:50
oh, wow, I can qualify for... I have that. Yeah,
53:53
I can qualify. I have this rare exotic disease.
53:57
I can now qualify for disability, for SSI. And
54:01
for that one person, congratulations. Except
54:05
for the no congratulations. We're having your
54:07
horrible disease. But yeah, yeah that that would
54:10
really suck But at least you know, there's there's
54:13
one thing that so far I've agreed with that the
54:16
government's doing like in a long time So good
54:19
for them good for them covering more people just
54:22
alright. I'm so happy that story is over go I'm
54:24
just I'm just saying jaws, please put me out
54:27
Put me out of my misery. Okay Okay, sorry. Okay.
54:33
How about Hunter Biden joining Tucker on his
54:36
podcast in an episode that aired Monday, the
54:39
latest stop on a media tour that has included
54:42
multiple interviews with conservative media figures.
54:44
Biden has known Carlson for 30 years and was
54:47
fiercely criticized by the former Fox News host
54:50
in the lead up to the 2020 election during Joe
54:52
Biden's time in office. But the younger Biden
54:54
has made a point of talking to conservative hosts
54:57
in recent months. Earlier this year, he appeared
55:00
on Candace Owens' show. On Tucker's show Monday,
55:04
he told Tucker, I love Candace. Owens and Carlson
55:09
have turned to criticizing President Trump for
55:12
the Iran war, among other policy decisions over
55:15
the past one and a half years. So on the podcast,
55:19
Hunter called Trump the one existential threat
55:23
that I think we We all face as a country claiming
55:26
Trump is more than quote the symptom of the disease
55:29
But is central to why this disease has gone from
55:32
a local epidemic to a pandemic in the United
55:36
States of America He does weird analogy dude.
55:39
That's his brain is Swiss cheese Carlson discussing
55:43
the unraveling of his friendship with the president
55:45
acknowledged that he mistakenly thought he could
55:48
talk Trump out of entering the war in Iran overstated
55:51
my own influence like dramatically in a very
55:54
embarrassing way and my importance Carlson said
55:56
adding that he was Humiliated correctly and but
56:00
he was still grateful for that experience So
56:03
in recent times Carlson has teased his interest
56:05
in launching a political movement or third party
56:08
He recently hosted a gathering of disaffected
56:11
MAGA figures, including former Congresswoman
56:14
Marjorie Taylor Greene and outgoing Congressman
56:18
Thomas Massey, and outlined a 10 -point platform
56:21
on a recent show. So, I mean, look, I don't know
56:25
about third -party stuff like, like, hence Andrew
56:29
Yang. You guys remember him? Yang Gang and his,
56:33
what was his stupid party's name, Ted, do you
56:35
remember? Like, it went nowhere. no it went nowhere
56:38
i don't remember what it was called what was
56:40
his party's i don't know but um hold on i have
56:45
i have my son knocking i hear you knocking but
56:53
you can't come in so by the way what's with tucker
56:56
being such a calvinist i mean he's like well
57:00
you know what a calvinist is i mean he's just
57:03
like He's so self -flagellating. Like, you know,
57:08
I was humiliated, correctly. Well, you got to
57:13
think about it. I mean, he supported the Iraq
57:16
War that led to the deaths of over a million
57:19
people. Well, no, I understand that. And I'm
57:22
glad that he has expressed regret over that.
57:27
Essential tentative Christianity is repentance.
57:30
Well, before you're able to repent, you have
57:33
to first admit that you did something wrong.
57:35
And then Jesus himself said, if you offended
57:39
your brother or someone, then what you do is
57:41
you make amends with that person first. So in
57:44
this case, Tucker Was directly responsible for
57:50
the for the deaths of God knows how many people
57:53
and have some popping up and supporting the Republican
57:56
establishment I understand I know what Tucker
57:59
did I I'm just talking about the tone like the
58:02
the fact that he's not like I fucked up and I'm
58:06
sorry, but it's like sort of it is very Calvinist
58:09
is his whole approach like like I deserve to
58:12
be Chastised and beaten like thank you, sir.
58:16
May I have another? Well, that's our Calvinism.
58:20
Calvinism is the belief that everyone that's
58:23
born is like a galactic lottery, and only a select
58:26
number of people are chosen to be able to go
58:27
into heaven. That's Calvinism. Yeah, and you're
58:30
probably not it, right? It's part of it, too.
58:34
Anyway, like that famous, you know, speech, the
58:37
famous sermon, I forget what his name was. Was
58:40
it Winthrop? He was like, we are like loathsome
58:43
spiders. being dangled by a thread over the flame
58:46
and God knows why God doesn't drop us into the
58:50
flame if he has other things to do. All right.
58:53
So let's talk about Hunter here. Hunter has in
58:57
the last six months or so turned himself into
58:59
a big social media character. Poor. I don't know.
59:04
He's done a pretty good job. I've been following
59:06
him, you know, and he's picked up more followers
59:09
than I have. Because he is a drunken and high
59:16
spectacle He's the first son who is like the
59:19
first fuck -up like and we all know it and everybody's
59:23
waiting to see him crash and burn I'm sorry,
59:25
but that's that's the truth. Like everybody's
59:27
waiting to see it's gonna be like like Brad Pitt
59:30
recently announced that he started drinking again
59:32
Yes, he's he's the former first son. He's lived,
59:36
you know quasi by way of dad in the limelight
59:40
Right? Front of the show, as Tim Dillon likes
59:46
to say, our friend Tyler Nixon, who grew up with
59:49
the Bidens in Delaware, went to school with the
59:51
Biden boys, has a lot of stories on the Biden
59:54
boys. Oh, I'm sure. He's always said that Hunter
59:59
was basically a dick. Hunter's always been a
1:00:02
little dipshit asshole because his dad's always
1:00:05
been a senator. You know, like I think everyone's
1:00:09
just waiting to see how this dude implodes So
1:00:12
yeah, if you're making all the media rounds and
1:00:14
you're shitting on Trump right now What do you
1:00:16
think he's on about like what is the purpose
1:00:18
of this is he's trying to like build a show or?
1:00:20
Try to get hired by MS now or something like
1:00:23
that. I think so I think because his grift is
1:00:25
over He has the the artwork dried up right like
1:00:29
nobody's nobody's buying his artwork. Yep His
1:00:32
book isn't flying off the shelves His wife with
1:00:37
young baby is never anywhere to be found like
1:00:40
we don't know what he we know that he trashed
1:00:43
She has young baby. So that's where she is to
1:00:46
be that's right. He's he's probably with young
1:00:48
hottie somewhere. I don't know He he's still
1:00:52
in legal trouble. Remember remember a couple
1:00:54
months ago. We were we reported in rehab He and
1:00:56
the wife I Think so that sounds familiar. She's
1:01:00
like a filmmaker from New Zealand or something.
1:01:03
She's fairly cute She's like a much younger woman
1:01:07
from either, she's Aussie or Kiwi, I can't remember.
1:01:11
But she's from abroad. Remember, he's still in
1:01:16
legal trouble. Remember his legal team a couple
1:01:18
months ago? We reported that they were like,
1:01:20
Hunter has left the United States and we cannot
1:01:23
report where his location is. His secret undisclosed
1:01:27
location. You remember that? They were like making
1:01:29
a whole thing. I do. They made a whole thing
1:01:31
about him having to disappear for, I don't know,
1:01:35
his sanity and safety of his family and whatever.
1:01:38
And mostly Ted because he was running away from
1:01:40
all the fucking debt that he has in America.
1:01:43
Like all the debt he owes like still like $50
1:01:47
,000 in backed rent for a Venice apartment in
1:01:52
Venice. Oh yeah, the Airbnb. Yeah. Yeah. The
1:01:54
Airbnb house, like on the Venice canals. He like
1:01:57
apparently trashed some dude's house that he
1:02:00
rented and then skipped out on the bill. Like
1:02:03
this dude, this dude, like Now so yeah, he's
1:02:08
angling for something He's not doing this at
1:02:10
a goodwill like out of nowhere because he would
1:02:12
have been doing this to try to save his dad's
1:02:14
reputation When dad was going through the shit
1:02:17
for him, right his dad's poor addled brain. Why
1:02:20
is he doing this now? He's like, I Don't know
1:02:23
like dad got a book coming Angelina. Do you care
1:02:26
about this? The LA Lakers have just been sold
1:02:29
the most expensive major league sports franchise
1:02:32
deal in history $12 billion. The buyers are Bob
1:02:38
Iger. That's Disney, right? Really? Disney? Bob
1:02:42
Iger? And Joshua Kushner. Josh Kushner? You're
1:02:48
fucking kidding me. Totally serious. The Kushners
1:02:52
and Iger bought the Lakers? Yep. Holy moly. By
1:02:59
the way, why are they called the Lakers? There's
1:03:01
no lake in LA. There are. They originated in
1:03:08
Minnesota. Ah, that's why. Just like the Dodgers.
1:03:14
The Dodgers originated in Brooklyn. Brooklyn.
1:03:17
Yeah, I know. I'm saying they're immigrants to
1:03:19
LA. Both teams. Both teams. But that's why they're
1:03:22
the Lakers, because the team originated in Minnesota.
1:03:25
Thank you. Thank you. I appreciate that. Yeah.
1:03:29
See, only true Laker fans know this deep history.
1:03:32
Well Dressed Nerd says, why hasn't Tyler been
1:03:35
on in a while? Any thoughts of getting him back
1:03:37
in the future? And P .W. Walker, thank you for
1:03:41
the donation, says, congratulations. This is
1:03:43
the first show to not involve actual shit. Or
1:03:46
did I just jinx things? The show is not over
1:03:50
yet. Give us time, Walker. We're almost... See,
1:03:54
you just... I had to say the word shit because
1:03:56
it was in your comment. That's not the same thing,
1:03:58
though. All right, come on. We got to go. We're
1:04:00
four minutes over. We got one more story to do.
1:04:02
One last thing. All right. The world of women's
1:04:08
cycling, which the TMI show always follows assiduously,
1:04:12
is currently embroiled in a weird scandal, not
1:04:15
the first time, involving the alleged use of
1:04:18
bra padding to increase the bust area of female
1:04:23
competitors and modify airflow around the body.
1:04:27
Known as chest fairing, this practice supposedly
1:04:32
decreases drag and gives competitors an unfair
1:04:37
advantage. According to the experts, smaller
1:04:40
titties can favor the formation of an air pocket.
1:04:43
at the level of the cyclist's abdomen, which
1:04:47
marginally increases the drag coefficient. Burt
1:04:50
Blochens, a professor of breast style aerodynamics
1:04:54
at Heriot -Watt University in Scotland, told
1:04:59
The Telegraph UK that chest fairing could provide
1:05:02
a reduction of up to 3 .6 % in drag. That might
1:05:07
not sound like much, but where the slightest
1:05:09
edge might make a difference, this is considered
1:05:12
an unfair advantage. Originally reported last
1:05:16
week by the Dutch newspaper Wieler Vliet, just
1:05:20
rolls off the tongue. The chest -faring trend
1:05:28
caused quite a scandal on the women's cycling
1:05:31
circuit and on August 4th, cyclists taking part
1:05:34
in the Tour de France underwent an additional
1:05:37
check of their clothes to make sure that their
1:05:41
boobs are all their own. Wait, so... So in other
1:05:46
words, it's like Dolly Parton would have an unfair
1:05:49
advantage in the Tour de France. Well, yeah.
1:05:52
So Dr. Blockend here, the professor of aerodynamics
1:05:56
in Scotland, how do you suppose he arrived at
1:06:00
the 3 .6 % lesser drag? I think I know how. I
1:06:06
think in all seriousness, I think he used a wind
1:06:09
tunnel. with models. I think he probably had
1:06:12
like Barbies and he had like and he changed modified
1:06:16
the shape. Yeah he had like yeah he had like
1:06:19
he had highly titular Barbies and he had flat
1:06:22
chested Barbies and he had like middling like
1:06:25
B or C cup Barbies and then like yeah. I presume.
1:06:33
Either that or he took large breasted women and
1:06:35
threw them off a cliff and then measured them.
1:06:37
On a bike? No, put them on a bike. That's probably
1:06:39
illegal, I would think. So I think, I'm not sure
1:06:42
what you guys do when your cameras are turned
1:06:45
off, but I think I'm the only one that wears
1:06:46
a bra on the show. Yeah, you don't know that.
1:06:50
I don't know. On deprogrammed, there's some freak
1:06:53
who constantly is offering me money to show my
1:06:55
man boobs. Oh, well, okay, so. Okay, that you
1:07:03
guys, do you guys do the men like did did what's
1:07:07
his face Lance Armstrong, when he did Tour de
1:07:09
France, did he wear a cup? Do you guys wear cups
1:07:13
cycling? Ted, you like to cycle? A lot. Most
1:07:16
guys wear padded padded ball padding for their
1:07:23
testes. I do not. Wait, wait. Why can you guys
1:07:29
in the man's tour de France, why can you guys
1:07:33
pad your junk, but why can't the women pad their
1:07:37
boots? Well, first of all, there's no unfair
1:07:40
advantage to padding your junk, right? That's
1:07:42
just to protect you from chafing. Look, it's
1:07:45
not a coincidence that Lance Armstrong got ball
1:07:48
cancer, right? His balls be chafing up against
1:07:51
that seat, right? And that's what caused him
1:07:54
to get testicular cancer. That's why guys do
1:07:59
that. Now, I personally don't do that. I mean,
1:08:02
of course, if I were to, you know, at 62, it's
1:08:06
a little unlikely that I'm going to become a
1:08:08
professional cyclist. But, you know, if I were
1:08:11
going to spend, you know, six hours a day on
1:08:15
my bike, I probably would. I do bike. I'm an
1:08:19
avid cyclist. I try to go every day. But I mean,
1:08:22
no, I am. Yeah. So I get what he's saying, like
1:08:27
when a woman is on the bike, she's like hunched
1:08:29
over like... I mean, the padding is not going
1:08:30
to protect her. That's just like intent. Yeah,
1:08:32
that's just going to change her shape. So if
1:08:37
you add... It's like creating a missile, kind
1:08:40
of, right? It's like it's like sort of turning
1:08:41
your body into a more missile shaped thing. So
1:08:46
don't you guys have this drag coefficient then?
1:08:49
Because you guys are creating the C shape also
1:08:51
when you're hunched over the... No, but like
1:08:53
if you had a giant schlong maybe and you were
1:08:56
like, and you were like creating... No, I don't
1:08:58
mean with your junk. I just mean the human body
1:09:00
when you're hunched over cycling, right? Yeah.
1:09:04
The kind of bike where you really have to hunch
1:09:05
over? Well, that's why they're hunched over like
1:09:07
that is to reduce drag. Right. So wouldn't men's
1:09:12
chest being flat, wouldn't that catch a bunch
1:09:14
of... air and create an air pocket. But that's
1:09:17
all men though, who are suffering from that ailment.
1:09:19
So there's no unfair advantage. Oh, so this is
1:09:23
just women complaining on women. Yeah. It's just
1:09:26
women being catty. See, that's what I'm saying.
1:09:30
Like large breasted bicyclists versus small chested
1:09:35
cyclists that want to umph their game. I don't
1:09:39
think that's anyone's business. I mean, people
1:09:40
are very strange with these little advantages
1:09:42
like how professional swimmers shave their body
1:09:45
hair. It's like they think they're getting a
1:09:47
little, they think there's drag from like their
1:09:50
arm hairs and shit. I'm like, I don't really
1:09:53
think so. What do I know? I just think this is
1:09:55
a catty, shitty thing to do to the other women.
1:09:59
Like maybe she's not, you know, she or they,
1:10:02
whoever are wearing, how many women are wearing?
1:10:05
padded bras under their Speedo thing that they're
1:10:08
that they wear but like maybe it's because they're
1:10:12
Self -conscious about looking too flat chested
1:10:14
or something like like I know I'm a small boobed
1:10:18
woman or I was you know now I have the implants
1:10:20
But wait, did you but did you get did you replace
1:10:24
with the same size that you had before or did
1:10:26
you decide to upgrade? It's just a little that's
1:10:30
creating a minor a minor advantage a minor advantage
1:10:33
in your next cycling race I said improve them
1:10:36
a little bit, but not I don't want to look different
1:10:39
than what I look like So that's what they did.
1:10:42
Although now I'm kind of like gosh, I should
1:10:44
have really gone like full Dolly Parton No, not
1:10:48
Dolly Parton told you not no not like that, but
1:10:52
you could have gone AOC No, god. No, I don't
1:10:55
have the right frame for that. But look in in
1:10:58
For a woman in most sports boobs get in the way
1:11:02
So the fact that I was like a smaller breasted
1:11:05
woman I was I had a good golf swing I could like
1:11:09
play tennis like not like I'm not fighting them
1:11:11
You know these two things swinging around I knew
1:11:14
a girl in eighth grade. I'm not gonna say her
1:11:17
name but We used to call her black eyes black
1:11:23
eyes Because in gym class Cause she had the magical
1:11:28
summer, right? And the next year she came out
1:11:32
in eighth grade and we're in gym class and we're
1:11:34
running and they're like kabonk, kabonk, kabonk,
1:11:36
kabonk, like hitting her herself in the face.
1:11:39
Oh my God. So we used to call her black eyes
1:11:43
because she was like slugging herself in the
1:11:46
face. That's so bad. This poor girl, like, I
1:11:49
don't know, she went to a different high school.
1:11:51
So I don't know what happened to her eventually,
1:11:53
but I mean, literally she went from. Having some,
1:11:58
you know, like young teenage girl boobs to the
1:12:01
next year Whoa And that gets a shoot and she
1:12:06
was an avid runner and she was on the track team
1:12:09
and that probably does not work for you Doesn't
1:12:12
sound like it. So there you go. So this is a
1:12:16
funny boob story Weird Wednesday
