  Speaker 1: I don't get hit with, like, patriotism that often. It's like,
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: during the World Cup, yeah, and, like, when other countries
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: talk a little too much shit, I'm like, all right, chill,
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: that's my thing. But when the paint came off, I
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: was like, this is the most.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: Hood shit in the world. Can I tell you right now,
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: the paint coming off doesn't happen in a regular pool.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: No, I didn't know that was possible.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: I also didn't know that was possible. Not just paint
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: coming off as in dissolving. Once huge chunks of paint
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: were coming off that you could hold in your hand,
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: I was like, oh, we're not a country anymore.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to the Precap, the daily show podcast
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: where we sit down with this week's host to recap
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: some of the latest news and preview what's coming up next.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: I'm Randall Otis. I'm one of the writers of the show,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: and I am joined today by your host this week,
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: Josh Johnson.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: Hey, man.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: What's going on, buddy?
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: Not too much.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: How about you? I'm good. Had a good Juneteenth.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: A lot of plans, barbecue, DJ set, drank too much
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: of the barbecue and went home. Did you DJ? Oh,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: hell no. Okay. No, no, no.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: Well, you said DJ set.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: It's Juneteenth. I'm not here to perform or do labor.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: This is my day to enjoy the fruits of other
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: people's labor. Mm-hmm. If you're working on Juneteenth as a
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: black person, a take where you try to be like down,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: but it's just the most elitist thing. Yeah.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: You try to.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: If if through the conditions of living in the United
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: States of America, you also happen to have to work
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: on Juneteenth, then you should take a real good long
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: hard look at yourself.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: If you somehow haven't overcome.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: You shouldn't enjoy Juneteenth. Now, did you do anything?
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: I did work, yeah.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: I did shows, yeah.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: I was entertaining.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Tap dancing for the white man on Q & T.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: No, so it was a good couple shows. Had a
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: good weekend. And then I've been looking forward to this.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Are you hyped for this week? You got a lot
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: of stuff that's going on.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's every week. Sometimes you have too many
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: things that are happening. And especially when you pick one,
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: it becomes hard. Because then you pick the one that you're,
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: attached to that you're like, oh, we'll talk about this tomorrow,
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: and then something will happen overnight.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: The thing right now people are talking about is the
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: reflecting pool, which I love. You've been to D.C.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: I've been to D.C., and I will also be talking
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: about the reflecting pool for two weeks at least, like
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: in group chats, in updates, because the updates are worse
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: than the story.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Because with me, with the reflecting pool, like when it
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: first started, I honestly was like, you know, look, It's
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: a pool. I've dealt with, you know, pools and having
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: to upkeep stuff before. And yeah, sometimes you get algae, right? Now, though,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: I was like, oh, dog, this is, you singularly messed
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: this up. It should not be this bad.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: You insert yourself in a way that only messed it
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: up so much because no one remembers what it looked
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: like before you wanted to fix it.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: We just remember what it looks like today.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: I have never thought about this thing.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: I will also tell you right now that Trump is
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: not a problem solver. Because this man is over here. Oh, no,
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: the reflecting pool. Antifa did whatever. There's algae blooming in
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: the pool and you got the number one algae eater
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: in your cabinet. Get over there. That man that man
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: would take one look at the reflective pool and be
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: like soup.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: He eats it all and somehow it fixes his voice.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: He's like, that was it. That was it. Wow. Whoa.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: Turns out something just had to grab the thing in
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: my throat.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Turns out I'm British, actually. Yeah.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: Because even when they were pouring the peroxide in there,
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: I was like, oh, y'all, I don't know if that's good.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: Like now I'd be scared to walk past.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because now I'm like, I don't know what chemicals.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: You're going to make mustard gas on accident and just
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: kill everybody.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: And you heard about the duckling.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: Oh, I saw that. Honestly, that was like the moment
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: where I was like, oh, this is bad. I don't
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: think you should be dying in the reflecting pool.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you right now, too, that duckling is going
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: to somehow do so much more damage than anything else
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: this week. Like like us being on the knife's edge
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: of global disaster, not just us. I know that as
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: the U.S., we think that we're the only country that's
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: ever existed. But like like the world is having gas
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: problems right now, oil problems right now off of this conflict.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: And I I'm telling you right now, that single duckling
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: is going to move the needle more than the global
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: crisis that's that's incoming.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: But like the paint coming off the bottom is nasty
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: as hell. The paint coming off the bottom. That's what
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: made me feel like, because I don't get hit with
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: like patriotism that often. It's like during the World Cup. Yeah.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: And like when other countries talk a little too much shit,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: I'm like, chill, that's my thing. But when the paint
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: came off, I was like, this is the most.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: Hood shit in the world. Can I tell you right now?
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: The paint coming off doesn't happen in a regular pool.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: No, I didn't know that was possible.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: I absolutely didn't know that was possible. The paint coming
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: off is the most ratchet. Not just paint coming off
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: as in dissolving. Once huge chunks of paint were coming
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: off that you could hold in your hand, I was like, oh,
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: we're not a country anymore.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Even like MAGA people who were looking at the pool,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: they're like, Even they were like, I can't.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: I can't.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: I can't even.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: Oh, I can't abide this.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Oh, this looks bad. Yeah. Oh, right after we had, yeah,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: the MMA fight. I'm saying, dude, we're about, we're like
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: about to have like flamingos and Chevy's on center blocks.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: There's going to be, it's, we're starting to act like, like,
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: like Trump's remodeling of DC does look, post-apocalyptic.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: I was about to say, it's going to be like,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: I am legend. Will Smith is going to be driving
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: around talking to mannequins.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: Imagine if I am legend had a busy street and
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: that's what DC will look like with more Trump ears.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: Like it'll just be a dude with his dog. He
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: doesn't need to talk to mannequins because there's so many
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: people standing around that don't have a job because all
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: the jobs have been given to AI. We tried to
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: sue We tried to sue, but remember, also the Big
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: Beautiful Bill is a clause about suing companies and slowing
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: down the U.S. 's progress in the AI field.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: You know what? Also, because the only times I see
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: the reflecting pool, somebody who doesn't live in D.C., is
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: in photos, because there'll be all those historic events near
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: the pool, like MLK's big speech. I was just imagining
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: MLK being like, I have a... Oh, no... I'm just
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: getting distracted by how gross it is. Dude, because here's
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: the thing.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: Like, some ponds, some lakes, rivers, green. Like, it does have... Like,
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: algae is naturally occurring.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: But... When you promised blue and it's green, it somehow
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: makes it look more green. It's actually 10 times greener
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: than it probably is. In our minds, it's 10 times
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: greener than it actually is because we know it's supposed
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: to be blue. Or at the very best, super clear
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: with a blue bottle.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: Now, if the water was blue, let's say for a
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: second that they had put blue food coloring in the
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: reflective pool. We'd still be like, wow, the water's so
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: clear since the bottom.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: I think they're going to try. Actually, they may try that.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: But then, I don't know what. I'm not good at
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: color theory. What does green and blue make? It's going
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: to be like purple or something?
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: I mean, I know red and blue make purple. I
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: feel like it's going to make like a sort of
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: like cyan purple.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: This is just an aside. I do feel incredibly insecure
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: not knowing what colors mix to make what color. I
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: feel like somehow like everyone else... got that in preschool
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: or whatever, but my schools didn't because I'm from Florida.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: So like, they'll be like, this is a very rare thing,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: but times in my life and be like, Oh, you
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: know what this, this color makes. And I'm just like,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: I feel so embarrassed.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: Red and blue. You know what that means? I, it literally, it.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: Makes me feel like I'm the guy who has to go.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: It's to your left. That's how I feel with color.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: I don't, it's just a side note of my insecurity.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: No, I feel that way with directions. Like, I feel
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: really insecure when people ask for directions and I can't
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: tell them if it's north or east or whatever. Like,
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: I know that way. I know it's that way. Like,
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: you go that way and then you take a left
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: and then you whatever. But north, south, east, and west
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: is like the basis of maps.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: I think in New York you should be able to
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: do it because it's very simple. I'm just like Freedom
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: Towers to the south. Okay. And then that's how you orient. Also,
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: it goes up that way, down that way.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I know that when you're on Manhattan and
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: you're pointing towards something, you could just say north. But
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: the rest of the world, I have no frame of
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: reference for where any of that is.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: I can do it as long as it's not noon,
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: because I'm like, okay, sun sets in the east, or
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: rising in the east sets in the west. But if
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: it's new and I'm like, shit, I have no idea.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: This is where I have respect for, I feel like
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: if you brought a caveman back to these times and
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: he had this conversation, they'd.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: Be like, oh, they got, dumber well no I think
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: the difference is if you brought that person back we
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: wouldn't know how to do common things for them which
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: would make us look very dumb and then they would
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: burn all of us for being witches.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah they'd be really strong we wouldn't be able to stop.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: Them yeah they walk and eat well every day They're
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: from before we called it organic.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they're all just like CrossFit people too. Because all
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: the weak ones are dead.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: So you meet anyone 18 and above, they're going to
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: rip your spine out of your torso. Just for no reason.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I think that I've had this insecurity too
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: where I'm like, oh man, if I could meet someone
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: in my ancestry who was like a forager, they'd be
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: so disappointed that I didn't know how to take care
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: of myself in like a from the earth sort of
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: way but then also i would show them an iphone
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: and they'd be like the glass.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: Does that yeah do they even know what glass is
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: they might only see it if it got like oh
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: like a lightning hit the.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: Beach yeah yeah if lightning hit the beach and made
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: a design but even then you probably like ended up
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: keeping that thing as a keepsake from like the time
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: that god waved at you oh yeah.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: I think you could like take over the village it
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: was like I've been blessed by the, by the Lord.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Speaking of blessings, this is not a transition. It has
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: nothing to do with the Iran war, but I've been
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: thinking about this. We were talking about this upstairs, but
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: like we're at the, it's similar to the reflecting pool
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: in the sense of like in the early days of
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: the Iran war. I'm like, this is stupid. This is ridiculous,
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: but there's an easy way out of this. You know,
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: now I'm legitimately like, I'm, scared existentially of what is
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: going to happen yeah it it was you know what
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: did it for me was seeing jd vance in switzerland
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: because i'm like the entire global economy rest of this
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: guy this yeah gormless husk of a man who clearly
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: cannot talk to people is just awkward as hell. He's
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: the guy who, I still remember the campaign video of
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: him going to that Dunkin' Donuts and just skeeving everybody out.
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, just being like, y'all glaze him here. It's like,
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: every interaction this man has is so uncomfortable. He's like, well,
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: do you remember when he gave that speech and he
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: was talking about This is how badly he's wired. He
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: was giving a speech, and he was talking about talking
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: to the troops beforehand and telling them a joke. And
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: then they were like, oh, the crowd can't handle that.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: That's too politically incorrect of a joke. But then he
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: never says what the joke is. He just tells a
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: story about telling the joke, and then the soldiers apparently,
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: the soldiers who definitely existed, said to him, sir, don't
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: tell that one.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: You crazy for this one, Jay.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: But it would be like if you said you crazy
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: for this one, Jay, and then the song was over.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah. You know what it is. Next track. Yeah.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: And then also the way that on camera he's been
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: so awkward. He reminds me of Jim from The Office
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: if there was no camera to look at. Yeah. Like
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: take all those moments where Jim looked at the camera
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: in The Office and and make it a real world,
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: no documentary. It's like.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: What are you looking at?
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, what are you looking at? And why are you...
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: We can see you. So what are you doing with
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: your face right now?
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: He's like, oh, I thought no one would pay attention.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: And then also there's no ending to the episode, so
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: you just have to still be there.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: The amount of speeches where this man has said something
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: and there's clearly an expected laugh or applause and just
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: nothing happens. Yeah. I'm just like... oh as a performer
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: i just hold my chest like yeah.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: Oh i know that we do comedy but it's it's
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: a it's a rough thing to have someone believe in
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: what they're about to say so much that they literally
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: you can tell that the prompter says hold for laughter
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: yeah Because then even if they try to read past
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: the hole for laughter, you can see their eyes darting
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: around for a second and then they keep going.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, you're performing for a cult to bomb
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: in front of the people who are supposed to, who
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: are so emotionally invested in you that they would probably like, well,
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: not you, but like your boss and the thing you're
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: a part of. And for even them to be like,
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: I can't muster up though. I can't give this to you, dog. Yeah.
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: No, and it's tough too because you can tell that
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: he wants to be president one day. So he's very
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: much being like, this is a classic Trump deal, which
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: is talking out of both sides of his mouth. Because
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: on one hand, this is a classic Trump deal in
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: that it's working, guys, it's working. Y'all are killing it.
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: But also he's trying to right now, ahead of 2028,
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: ahead of 2032, ahead of whenever he ends up running,
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: he's trying to plant the seed right now that this
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: is a classic Trump deal.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: He's not like, this is classic American ingenuity. This is
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: a classic Trump deal specifically.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't have anything to do with this.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: I just found out about it with y'all. I'm mad too.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: Well, I think the problem for Trump slash us is
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: like the way Trump gets past things is delay, right?
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: Like with his court cases, he's like, I just got
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: to keep delaying, delaying, delaying, delaying. till the election's over.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: Or he has that refrain where he says, oh, it'll
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: be done in two weeks. But in this situation, the
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: enemy is time. It's like you will run out of time.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: So pushing things off actually makes it way worse. So
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: the only like tactic he has, slash we have, actively
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: hurts us so I don't see the way out of this.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah it's a lot like when you wake up this
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: has happened to me a couple times where you don't
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: set an alarm and you are still blessed enough to
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: wake up exactly in time to leave for the airport
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: if you get up pack and brush your teeth right
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: now and get an uber you'll make the flight you'll
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: run but you'll make the flight but you would also
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: love to risk it with five more minutes of sleep Yeah.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: Because the thing that is so dumbfounding about a lot
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: of this is that it wasn't a problem before you
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: got involved. Like, actually at all.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: I didn't know about the Strait. Yeah. Yeah.
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: I didn't know about this island. Clark?
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: I didn't know about a bunch of stuff. And so
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: this was all brought on by you. Then you seem
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: to have some sort of reluctance. to doing the thing
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: you say you're going to do, which is like attack, attack, attack, attack, attack.
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: But then also, you don't want any of the financial
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: consequences of what comes with starting something with people you
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: know nothing about. I also think that there's no difference
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: to him. And to be fair, a lot of people
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: in the U.S., there's no difference to him in one
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: Middle East nation versus another. And so you look at
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: Afghanistan and Iraq, and you're like, oh, we went in there,
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: we were basically able to do what we wanted. So
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: that's what I'll do here.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: And meanwhile, it's like, no, Iran is way more powerful
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: than these people, than these other two countries. It's way bigger.
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: This is very dumb, but what would have clued me
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: in a long time ago was... in that they did
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: a documentary, technically a documentary series, but they did a
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: documentary about Mr. Olympia. And they were talking at one point,
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: I don't even know what brought this on because it
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: truly wasn't on my mind, but they were talking about
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: how it's Mr. Olympia, it's supposed to be the strongest
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: and most fit and best physiques in the world, yet
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: so much of it comes from the US and maybe
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: a little bit of Europe. And Iran was like the
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: only country That had like three dudes enter. I was like,
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: that says a lot that in this documentary, we're like,
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: why is this sport so, uh, us based? I know
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: that we came up with it to a degree, but
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: why aren't people flying from all over the world and
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: everything to compete? And then you see some Europeans. So
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: a couple of Russians and a couple of like Bulgarians
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: that are just huge. And then three Iranians.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: You're just like, wait a minute.
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: If you had left it to sort of mainstream propaganda
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: to tell you, none of them should be this tall
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: or strong or fit.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: And three of them, like, I can't stress this enough. Iran,
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: not as a nation, but just, like, happenstance. Iran was
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: represented by three people versus Russia's one.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: That would give me pause as well.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd be like, what's happening?
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: Happening here because how do y'all have the the muscle
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: technology yeah to match you know the moment in the
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: war that uh freaks me out it was early on
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: with um i think it's their foreign minister he's a
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: guy who's like very nice hair that's how i think
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: about him it was also weird because it's like we
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: were interviewing him on just like cbs while actively at
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: war and he's just like.
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: Hello yeah yeah it was very trippy yeah.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: But um the american anchor was like are you nervous
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: about a potential ground invasion from the U.S.? And he
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: just goes, no, we're waiting for them. Just like that.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: And I was like, that's concerning. That's a trap. The
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: confidence freaks me out. He's like, I'm not concerned at all. Honestly,
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: bring it. Because either they have something that you don't
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: know about, or it's like, I don't give a fuck.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: No, truly, some of them have been waiting for this
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: their entire life.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: Which is the biggest difference between other people that we've
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: messed with or countries we've invaded versus them.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: It's the difference between we did it on a whim
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: and they've been planning for 47 years. So many contingency plans.
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: Have you seen a lot of fights before? Like, in person? Yeah,
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: just in person, like, on the street and stuff like that.
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: It's such an interesting thing when somebody wants to fight.
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: When someone's being messed with, and they're like, you know what?
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: God must have sent you. Because I've been wanting to
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: beat the plaster out of somebody.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: When they just take their shirt off immediately, without any, like, buildup,
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: they're just like.
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: Like, a half of a push, and they're, like, ready.
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: I talked about how one time there was this... these
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: people that it was either family dollar or dollar general
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: or whatever but they uh they were getting robbed and
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: they jumped the the robbers imagine now imagine now you
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: work at like family dollar dollar general something like that
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: pull the gun like like they like they pull the
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: gun all the people working there and the people working
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: there are like Oh, yes. Because now there's people probably
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: called the police like, don't call them yet.
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: Let me get my stops in. That's witnesses. Yeah. And
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: you know, they're not doing it to defend the dollar.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: You know, they're not getting paid enough that they're doing
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: this for work.
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: This is for them. No, no, no. This is to
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: let it out. This is because I have not been
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: allowed to do this my entire time working here. I've
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: wanted to every day.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: You are every customer I've ever dealt with. Yeah. And
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: I am going to unleash the will of God onto you.
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: Imagine, imagine you are trying to rob a dollar store
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: and then three people just Nike's in your back.
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: You start calling the police. I was robbing the store.
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: Look, look, this, this is a disproportionate response.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah. All right?
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: I just want what was in the register.
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: After the sixth stomp, I think you're the criminal now.
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, y'all are hitting me with my gun.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God. Part of me, I think about if
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: the U.S. truly is an oligarchy, right, then what's coming
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: in terms of the potential impacts of this war is
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: so great. And it would harm so many businesses that
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: I'm thinking about, have you seen Network?
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: No.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: It's this movie where there's an anchor who kind of
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: like has a mental break. And he starts preaching in
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: very populist and borderline and like religious ways on the news.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: But they keep him on the news because he's getting
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: like really good ratings. And then at one point he
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: says something that breaks up some oil deal or whatever.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: And he gets called into this room. That's like a
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: giant room. It's very dark, long table. And then there's
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: a man there and he's like, you have messed with
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: the laws of nature. And he just explains capitalism to him.
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: He's like, money has got taken out and it must
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: be put back. And you have interfered with that. And
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: it's basically, it's like, You can do whatever you want.
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: You can do your little reflecting pool bullshit, but you
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: don't touch the money. And now he is touching the money.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: So I'm like, where are the oligarchs stopping this? I
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: just don't know who is in charge of anything.
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but that's why I think the structure of it
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: is that people here and abroad are far too comfortable
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: with that sort of like, patriarchal figure in place the
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: savior someone's gonna come say yeah yeah it's like no
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: no and also that could have been true for a
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: few people in in recent memory to a degree but
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: this person already said he doesn't care about you yeah
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: that's another crazy thing i.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: Don't care about the financial situation of americans it's a
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: crazy thing to say.
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: It's a crazy thing to admit that should be a
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: hot mic moment i do not care and he's like
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: yeah it's like he lives to um not make a
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: hot mic necessary. He says all of his hot mic
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: moments to you out loud in your face.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: Daytime.
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: Like it would even be different if this was a
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: Dateline interview and it was at night and it's like, look,
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: the president was tired and he misspoke, whatever. This is
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: first thing in the morning.
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: And then he'll come up the day after. He's like, no,
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: I meant that.
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: They'll like try to clean up. He's like, oh, he
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: meant something else.
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, no.
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: I don't give a fuck.
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: I don't think you heard me the first time, America.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: Read my lips. Yeah.
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: It just knocks out.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: That's why they couldn't send Trump to the negotiations. If
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: you got a... If you caught a photo of the
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: negotiations of the Iranian, like, pointing at a map and figures,
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: and Trump's just like... That's crazy. Oh, my God. It's like,
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: we all know, like, the whole Art of the Deal
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: is BS, but, like... A week ago... when he was
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: on stage and he was like, you know, I had
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: to make a deal now. We were four weeks away
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: from global catastrophe. I was like, Nigga, don't tell them that. What? What?
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: You never in negotiation be like, ooh, you really had
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: me by the balls there. I'm like, we don't even
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: have a deal. We're just talking. And you just told
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: your audience, it's like, oh, we wait three more weeks.
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: We can get whatever we want.
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: There was a movie. I can't remember what the movie was,
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: but there was a movie where they're in this scene.
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: This soldier who is like freshly in charge of troops
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: is like, you scared? I'm scared too.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: And it was all part of a bigger speech. It
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: was all part of a bigger speech. But in my head,
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: I was like, that one line was unnecessary. That was like,
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: I get it.
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: It's like, we all know, but don't say that.
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you're humanizing yourself and you're bringing them into the moment.
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: You're being vulnerable. I get that. But now y'all have
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: to run to gunfire. And so the fact that you
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: start the speech, you scared? I'm scared too.
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: Hey, just so you know, nobody's really in charge. I
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: don't know what I'm doing. We started this war on
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: a whim. Good luck, everybody.
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: Just so you know, this is all going to be
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: for nothing. That's important that you get that in your
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: head right now.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: One, two, three, for Monsanto!
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: Raytheon!
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: Remember who you're fighting for Lehman Brothers Bank.
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah it's no it's disaster.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: Part of the destructive part of me is like it'll
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: be interesting sure I've never been into depression.
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: I've been depressed but I've never sat through like an
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: economic downturn quite like this.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: Dust Bowl I'll see like recipes from the Dust Bowl
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: every once in a while water pie they say it's
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: not that bad what is water pie It's pie crust, water, sugar,
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: like chunks of butter, then like some congealing agent. And it's, yeah.
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: Like baking soda?
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, something like that. And then you bake it. Yeah,
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: it's the Great Depression. You ain't getting cuisine.
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: So when did you have water pie?
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: I didn't have water pie.
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: Oh, you looked it up.
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: Water pie, yeah. Made of flour, water, sugar, butter, and vanilla.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: And then, yeah.
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: So where's the pie part? Because that's just crust, right?
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: No, because it's all that stuff. Like when you put
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: that stuff in the water, it makes the water more
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: like gelatinous to like fill the space.
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: Oh, so it's like jello pie.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: Kind of, I guess. It doesn't look bad.
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: No, it looks like lemon meringue.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah. See, we can do a depression. No. Not even
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: humoring it.
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: No, no, those things are not the same. They're not
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: the same at all.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: We'll get some great literature. There was some great literature
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: during the Great Depression.
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: We can't read anymore.
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we can't. Someone writes Grapes of Wrath like, the
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: guy ain't reading that shit throw across the wall.
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah somebody's reading grace of wrath like this is the
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: longest insta post i've ever.
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: Seen boring gay and then he's going.
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: Tiktok yeah yeah i i don't know where we go
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: from here because it's like history will remember blah blah
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: blah is what people have been saying But I'm like,
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: it seems like that doesn't matter because we do remember
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: the last time things went this bad and how people
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: were acting like this.
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: And we're like, yeah, but we literally are like, we're
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: built different. That's our thing. Yeah. They were dumb. We're not.
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: Even though we're doing the same thing.
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah. It's just that Arrested Development joke. It's like, does
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: it ever work out for them? Nah, everyone thinks it does,
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: but it never does.
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: But it might for us. It's my favorite joke. But
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: it might for us. Yeah. All right. So we're looking
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: ahead and seeing what you might be covering this week.
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm going to talk about the pool for
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: a while. The pool's going to be amazing. The pool
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: goes crazy. But I also plan on talking a little
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: bit about the Great American Festival or fair or whatever
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: this thing is that it was supposed to be versus
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: what it's going to be. Because initially, it was going
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: to be like this big concert. They were going to
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: have a big old concert, and they invited all the A-listers,
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: and the A-listers said they were busy. And then they
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: invited B, and B was... Who's B? B is kind
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: of who they got. Like a Bret Michaels and stuff.
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: Okay. Oh, the B-list. Yeah, the B-list. I thought there
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: was an artist named B.
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, no. That'd be a nightmare as far
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: as SEO.
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: Oh, God, no.
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: But then people start pulling out because it was clear
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: that there's a difference between Freedom 250 and America 250.
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: And they're different orgs. They do different things. And one is, like, completely, apparently,
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: run by Trump, where the other one is, like, a
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: bipartisan committee that's like, it'd be nice to have a
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: new library opened or whatever. And then he's the one
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: that's like, let's have people do it, like, pop wheelies
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: on the White House lawn.
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: It is crazy. crazy to name them so similarly. For
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: the president to do what Struggle Artist on LimeWire did,
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: where you just name your song Big Pimpin'..
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, for the president to do what the parents of
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: twins do is like, well.
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: Jalen and Kalen.
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, one letter away. So, yeah, I'm going to talk
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: about that. Talk about who pulled out, who's still in.
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: Also....
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you got vanilla ice. I mean, he'll stay till
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: the end.
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: I think he will be chill doing it even when
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: they also ask him to leave.
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: I think he just needs a place to stay. I
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: think that's what this is. Amen. My lease is up. Amen.
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: My lease is up. And the White House got a
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: lot of windows, which means it must have a lot
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: of rooms, which means you must have extra.
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: You're keeping that... The MMA stage there, I could put
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: a tarp over that.
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: If you put a tarp over that, that's a whole apartment.
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: Plug up the walls, get some spackling for the cage.
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: Octagon shape, you can't run into the wall sharp if
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: you tried.
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: That's what, we keep our vanilla ice there. You can
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: feed them if you want to.
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: That is, yeah, what a water pie is.
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: Vanilla ice. You put in some, it's water, a little
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: vanilla ice. Vanilla ice literally is the ingredients to water pie. Yeah.
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: Oh, this depression's coming. There's so many, like, signs from God.
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: He's like, prepare yourself.
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you should watch out for, I mean, maybe don't
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: elect someone who bankrupted multiple casinos. But, yeah, now that
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: you're past that, you just got to get ready for
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: that pain.
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: I was about to say, I'm ready. I can't even joke.
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, I'm scared.
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: No, I'm pretty scared.
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: I am nervous.
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: I'm nervous.
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: It's cool. You know, I had a fun bachelorette party
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: this weekend. I've done all the things I need to do. Karaoke, man,
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: that's the bucket list. That's fair. Are you watching the
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: World Cup?
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: I'm watching some of the World Cup. I'm watching the
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: World Cup once in a while. And how close are
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: the U.S.
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: 's chances? Very low. I don't think we're bad.
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: I don't think we're bad either. We've been winning, but
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: I don't know what the knockout round means. I assume
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: that all of playing in FIFA was knockout.
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: All of our, like, foreign fans are just like these
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: stupid American mothers. I'm like, I don't know. All I
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: know is our women's team is really good.
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, they're incredible.
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: And our men's team's, like, decent.
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: It would be bad for the world if we won.
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: For us to, if we somehow pulled off a miracle. Yeah.
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: And this year, out of all years we won, it
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: would not be good. You would have to take the
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: podium like, ah, sorry.
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: You just take the podium like, look, this is a
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: sport which is different than policy.
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: We didn't have anything to do with that. Yeah.
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: We are all so confused, by the way.
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: We don't like this either. But thank you for the trophy.
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: Please don't assault us when we leave the stadium. Yeah.
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: No, no, because those fans are something else.
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: They get down. Yeah.
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: Here's the thing. We should definitely cut some of this
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: because we know so little about World Cup that it
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: would actually distract and undercut all of our points.
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I'm like Messi's short, Ronaldo's tall. They're both pretty good. Argentina. Brazil?
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that last minute, we gotta lose.
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So it's time for something we call Daily Show
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: and Tell. So what's something that you've watched, read, listened to,
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: argued about, or just been on your mind lately?
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: I read the graphic novel Five Gears in Reverse by
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips. And then I've just started
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: reading the Invisible Man graphic novel by James Tinian. And
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: I'm looking forward to finishing that.
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: That one as well very cool mine's not as unique
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: uh saw obsession loved it i love horror movies in
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: general probably one of my top five.
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: So the thing with obsession that i think is so
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: perfectly done is not only is it about like getting
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: what you want everything like that but the way in
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: which okay i'm not going to give anything away but
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: the the way in which she scares him is actually
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: how I've seen some dudes be scared before. Every once
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: in a while, you will be like, why is this
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: six-foot-even dude scared of this tiny woman? And it's like,
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: you haven't been around.
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: You haven't been around.
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: I haven't been there at midnight when she does the
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: weird stuff she does.
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: Or you haven't seen her really act like she's ready
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: to scrap with you, and you're like, how am I
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: supposed to react to this?
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: It is funny, too, in terms of, like, the first half.
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: Not half, but, like, the very, very, like, early parts
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: of the movie of her being, you know, different. I'm like,
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: the fear is very, like, male in terms of, like, oh,
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: what a crazy woman. And then it just immediately switched to, like,
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: female fear of, like, oh, this guy is the worst
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: man to ever live.
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: I'm with someone unstable.
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's all the time we have for
• 37:31
