Hello and welcome to episode one eighty four of BFY t W And it's
0:42
bfy TW goes Political. Oh yes, we're diving into the semi nasty world
0:52
of politics, and who better to have with us than the punishers of political
0:57
perfidy, the mistresses of the Muck. It's Hillary and Tina from the Muck
1:02
Podcast. Hi. Can you introduce us every week? I mean, you
1:12
know, I am more than happy to like record you a sound bite that
1:15
you could then play and then you just play it during your intro. Yeah.
1:21
So Hillary and Tina from Muck Podcast. You're here with us. We're
1:23
gonna play some silly games all about politics and political things. Uh, and
1:30
it's just going to be a good fun time. We're hoping not to make
1:33
anybody terribly angry, but we know how electrifying discussing politics can be, so
1:42
just be prepared. I'm just gonna let you know. You know, that's
1:45
how it is. That's how it is. Now. You just you hear
1:48
the word politics and you're like your your spine kind of shrinks up a little
1:52
bit. Just you just tighten up everywhere. But anyway, we're gonna try
1:57
and relax it and just have some fun like we usually do. We've been
2:01
doing a lot of having our guests play against the Dream Team, so we're
2:07
gonna stick to that format, so you two will be playing together against these
2:10
idiots. Yeah, and I have to tell you the boys are on quite
2:16
a streak right now. They have lost almost every game they've played against our
2:21
guests, so I'm hoping that continues. So we'll see. But for now,
2:30
let's do Let's do a quick just round of introductions, and I will
2:37
start with our guests. Let's start with Hillary. Hi. Hillary, I'm
2:42
so excited to have you, and I'm going to ask, Oh, this
2:46
may be a difficult question to answer, but what is your favorite thing about
2:54
politics? What is your favorite either political thing that happened or if there's something
2:59
about politics in general that you actually enjoy. Right off the bat, when
3:06
you said what is what has been my favorite thing? I see a bunch
3:07
of faces of people that I know locally that are incredible, And so we
3:14
say this on the past the podcast all the time of the ten you know
3:17
bad people you know in politics, there are two hundred behind them that you'll
3:23
never know their names, but are so fantastic in what they're doing, and
3:28
they're actually there to fight for the good things. The reason government exists,
3:32
there are good reasons, but they actually do the work. And so I
3:38
would name like just local people here that I love that I think are fantastic,
3:42
like a Chevern Jones or on Eskimani. I mean, there's just great
3:46
people here. Any any Democrat in the Florida Legislature right now is fighting for
3:51
their life and everybody else in Florida for the good stuff that we believe in.
3:54
So I would say them, No, that's absolutely fair, I think
4:00
the I mean, in my lifetime, one of the greatest things I've I've
4:02
seen is the election of Barack Obama. Yeah, yeah, that's a good
4:06
call. That's a good call. That was That was a wonderful, wonderful
4:11
feeling. And of course your partner in crime as it were, well,
4:16
your partner in grime would be more accurate. Tina Hi, Tina Hi,
4:25
same question, what is your favorite thing in or around politics? And you
4:30
can have the same answer if if you totally agree with Hillary, that's fine.
4:34
Yeah, I mean my favorite thing I would agree with Hillary is is
4:38
all the good people. And I would also say the work, like doing
4:42
the work and really seeing that. You know, the politicians who are on
4:47
the stage, you know, aren't there, and a lot of them are
4:49
really good. But there's a large amount of people behind those politicians, behind
4:56
the scenes, that do so much work. And it's been incredible to be
4:59
able to work like within those communities. And so I feel really lucky to
5:03
be able to do the work that we do. Heck on that volunteer basis
5:08
absolutely and it's so important. And we'll get to why later, but for
5:14
now, I'm gonna throw it over to He's a gamer and a storyteller,
5:17
and he was my youngest friend. Now he's just among the younger ones amongst
5:24
them, scattered amongst them. Lucky. Same question, is there something about
5:30
politics that you actually enjoy or was there a particular moment that you really enjoyed?
5:34
Wow? Well, and I was not expecting is such a question?
5:39
Yeah, yeah, I know. I didn't prepare you at all. No,
5:42
it sucks to be you. Yeah, it's always no. I mean,
5:47
I guess it's I don't know, I don't know how to explain it.
5:54
Uh. Democracy has been one of those kind of key defining factors to
6:00
show that it's something that does functionally work. It just needs some fine tuning.
6:03
But I feel like it has helped improve so many nations who have worked
6:09
towards building a democracy to kind of give that power to the people as opposed
6:15
to just letting one person take it all. Yeah, I mean, I
6:18
don't. I don't know that there's any such thing as a perfect system.
6:21
There really isn't. But it feels it feels like and it feels yeah,
6:27
nobody's going to agree, but it does feel like democracy is probably as close
6:30
as humanity has found up until this point to something that works for the widest
6:36
variety of right. Until we get the robots to take charge, yes,
6:42
exactly, then it's not our problems. Humanity will be saved. I look
6:46
forward to robocracy. Oh my good, I will punch that one on that.
6:56
And speaking of which, he's he he's a veteran and a podcaster,
7:00
And as it turns out, he's a veteran podcaster. It's Stevie. Hey,
7:04
what's going on? Our favorite weed infused joy Goblin? What's going on?
7:10
Dude? Not too much man, really enjoying life smoking a lot of
7:13
weed. I was worried, well, yes, yes, the same thing,
7:18
isn't it. I mean it really is coming into this Like I was
7:23
worried that this might be too heavy of a topic for you. But there
7:25
must be something about politics or the political process that you particularly in enjoy.
7:30
Yes, actually, after listening to everybody, there is and I honestly have
7:34
to say, the schemes like the way people can get away with ships so
7:40
impressive, Like yeah, damn, dude, you really thought that shit out
7:45
There is no trace back to you. But you have a flavor on your
7:48
team, and then that's where you screwed up. You've got to have a
7:50
tight knit group. Man, it's like rule. Yeah. Wow, we
7:54
said that all the time on the podcast. If this amazing criminal mind,
7:58
if they could focus it on something good line, you know, fantastic And
8:11
finally, I am your host Pancels Aaron And for me, I think my
8:16
favorite thing about politics is that moment when you submit your vote. Something about
8:22
that is incredibly empowering. Like I know, I know there's a lot of
8:26
people out there who don't vote, and I used to be one of them,
8:31
believe it or not, when I up until I was about twenty three,
8:33
twenty four, I didn't take it seriously at all, and then I
8:37
finally got my head on straight. Why I finally got my head on straight.
8:41
And now whenever i'm whenever I go, I'm excited to go vote,
8:43
Like I literally legitimately feel like I'm I'm doing something that matters, that this
8:50
is important and it it genuinely feels good. So I don't know why people
8:54
don't do it. More like I I want to take these people who don't
8:58
vote and shake them, right, you don't know what you're missing? But
9:03
yeah, no, I mean, I think it's just really an intimidating thing
9:07
when you go in there and your ballots like two pages along front and back,
9:11
and you know there's like judges and amendments and like what the hell is
9:13
going on? You know? But I would just tell people there's so many
9:16
resources wherever you live, Like, look up whatever party you belong to.
9:20
I don't care what party belongs you just vote and look to see who they're
9:24
recommending. Like there are people who do all that homework and can help you
9:28
out. So it is an intimidating thing, I think absolutely, Like I
9:31
pick up I'm not gonna claim that I understand one hundred percent of what the
9:35
voting ballot says. And like I've walked in and not recognize some of the
9:39
names, But I mean, there are websites out there that if, like
9:43
you plug in your location and what things you are most concerned about, they'll
9:46
say this is this is the candidate who is running on that item. You
9:50
know, it's very they say, that's very important to them. So it's
9:54
like the resources are there, and they're easier to get than ever, So
9:58
why wouldn't you do this for yourself and for where you live? Exactly?
10:03
You're only gonna make a difference, that's the thing. You're not going to
10:05
not make a difference by voting. Anyway, Enough of this moral grand standing.
10:11
Let's get let's get to the ridiculousness. It's time to play. Time
10:16
to play three very silly games. We're gonna start with game one. Game
10:18
one is the cost is correct, legally, legally distinct from the prices.
10:22
Right, our players, our players are going to take turns bidding on political
10:28
memorabilia, trying to get us close, trying to get us close to either
10:31
the actual listed price or the winning bid in a previous auction without going over
10:37
whoever's closest wins the listing for their team, and the team who wins the
10:39
most listings wins the game and earns one episode point. Now, to keep
10:43
it fair, we're going to rotate the order that you bid in and we're
10:46
also going to stagger the bidding so one. So it's gonna be Hillary first,
10:50
then Aggie, then Tina, then Stevie, and then we'll rotate from
10:54
there on out. I mean, you're not supposed to, but I'm not
10:58
going to. Oh man, thirty seconds, you're already breaking the rules.
11:05
This is a politics episode for sure. Okay, all right, well let's
11:13
get to it and have some fun, shall we. Our first item up
11:16
for bids is this questionable keepsake. It's a lock of Abraham Lincoln's hair,
11:24
removed by the attending physician at the late president's post mortem and wrapped in a
11:30
nearby telegram. This item was auctioned off in twenty twenty, and this listing
11:35
will go to the one of you who bids closest to the winning bid without
11:37
going over. Hillary, start us off. What do you think? I
11:45
think it's a quite a collector's item. I would say some lunatic would pay
11:52
fifty thousand dollars for that fifty thousand dollars, says Hillary. Argue, what
11:58
say you? It's taint hair, right, he's gotta be O forgot Lincoln's
12:03
tea gotta be in that case, it's gotta be wait, it's gotta be
12:07
cold to be to be fair, the listing doesn't say where the haircake came
12:13
from, so we can do it. Your guess is as good as mine.
12:16
One hundred thousand, d hundred thousands single lock of Abraham Lincoln's ass hair.
12:26
Oh, we're already getting deep into the muck as it were. Uh,
12:35
Tina, what say you? What would you bid? I mean it's
12:39
Abraham Lincoln. I think it's higher. Okay, I'm gonna go for like
12:46
I'm gonna go for a crazy bid of two hundred and fifty thousand dollars a
12:52
quarter of a million, says Tina. And finally, Stevie, I mean
12:58
hair clones can not gonna come out. It will not be the same.
13:03
Abe Lincoln, like that I cloned from that ass hair. I don't think
13:07
I think he has. I mean, I love they'll respect you guys have
13:11
for our former president. I really do, But I don't think it's worth
13:13
that much. Man, I'm gonna say like three grand, three thousands of
13:20
Okay, so we got bids all over the place, but I can tell
13:22
you that the actual winning bid for a lock of Abraham Lincoln's hair in twenty
13:28
twenty was eighty one thousand, two hundred and fifty dollars. His Hillary wins
13:33
the listing. Yeah, eighty one thousand, two hundred and fifty dollars for
13:41
a lock of Abraham Lincoln's hair. That's a lot. That doesn't make sense.
13:46
People have too much money, is the problem you want? It's got
13:52
to be like a descendant of like Booth or some shit. He's like,
13:54
I'm just gonna clone him so so I can repent. So see, I
14:01
see, Okay, Okay, all right, maybe you're onto something you're not,
14:05
but maybe you were. Okay, let's move on to our second item
14:09
bids. The Muck Podcast has one item. Dream Team have nothing yet.
14:15
Our second item of for bids is this questionably fun board game, still sealed
14:20
and new in the box, featuring the face of our forty fifth president on
14:24
the cover. That's right, it's Trump the game and this listing will go
14:30
to the one of you who bit's nearest to the actual listing price of this
14:33
item on Facebook marketplace. Aggie, We're gonna start with you. Is it
14:39
like rip off Monopoly? I need to know what I was is just wins.
14:46
I was not interested enough to look it up, so I have no
14:48
idea what it plays like. Okay, uh, somethinking. I'll just I'll
14:56
save five hundred dollars, says Tina. What do you say, I'm gonna
15:05
maybe maybe a hundred bucks. One hundred dollars, says Tina. Was it
15:13
signed? Uh? No, it is sealed in the box, which is
15:16
a game board game. I mean it's collectible. Even if it's even if
15:22
it's that, it's still a collectible board game, you know, and somebody
15:26
would go stupid over it, like you know what. Yeah, I've seen
15:28
idiots by like ninety dollars t shirts. I'm gonna go with something ridiculous like
15:33
fifteen hundred, fifteen hundred dollars. Just I've seen it. I've seen a
15:39
stupid and lastly it's Hillary. What do you say, I'm gonna say twenty
15:46
five dollars five dollars, says Are you guys ready for this? Oh?
15:56
God? What you've all over been the lowest is twenty five dollars. Let's
16:02
start again with Aggie. No bit lower than twenty five dollars. Five dollars,
16:11
five dollars, says Aggie. Tina seven fifty says Tina. Stevie,
16:22
do benefit of the doll and this is what happen, Yeah, Stevie,
16:29
thirteen dollars. Thirteen dollars, says Stevie. And finally, Hillary, seriously
16:33
like one dollars one dollars. No, if you'd only bid that last time.
16:37
But the actual listing price of this item on Facebook marketplace ten dollars.
16:42
It goes to Tina, who bids seven dollars fifty cents. What are you
16:48
gonna do with that game? Not play it anyway? Uh, that's just
16:56

of the end of World War Two in Honolulu, Hawaii. It features sixty
17:22
five painstakingly captured World War Two medals and pins in the design, and this

18:26
made it, and then it's just selling it, And yeah, it's it's
18:30
he purposely. It's not like it's some crazy like oh you know, awesome

23:18
have won the first game and have one episode point. But of course we're
23:22
this This game's far from over. We're going to play game two right after
23:26
this. Hi. I'm Tina how Tomo and I'm Hillary Dougherty and we host
23:38
The Muck Podcast where we discussed the dark and sometimes we are true stories in
23:41
American politics. E Tina, did you know that Elvis crashed the Nixon White
23:47
House for the sole purpose of getting a DA badge and it worked? Or
23:52
how a gun control advocate senator out of California engaged in gun trafficking with Nottoria's
23:57
gang leader, shrimp Boy Boy. I remember him, Okay, So you
24:03
know we cover all of that and more from Maladi's madness, mischief and murder
24:06
in US politics, and we also host a bi weekly interview segment called Little
24:11
Muck. We interview politicians, journalists, activists, and others who share their
24:15
experiences in politics. Find The Muck Podcast wherever you listen to podcasts, and
24:18
check us out on social media at the Muck Podcast. Hey man, welcome
24:33
back. It's time for game two. And you know, if we're inviting
24:38
the ladies from The Muck Podcast on, we're absolutely going to play Tinfoil Hat.
24:44
You would be a total waste to invite them on and then not play
24:47
a game about conspiracies and scandals. So welcome to Tinfoil Hat. I'm giving
24:52
our players three seemingly unconnected things, and they are the toilet paper shortage from
24:57
twenty twenty at stalls and South Korean former president Park Gun Key's bizarre corruption scandal.
25:07
And apologies if I pronounce that incorrectly. Well, I just you cover
25:15
all sorts of American politics, so I figured it might be worth not,
25:18
you know, stealing or borrowing in of your material and go for a corruption
25:22
scandal outside of the USA. And also when I read of this was batshit
25:27
crazy. So I'm looking forward to seeing what you can put together. All
25:33
of our players have to do is spin me a conspiracy theory linking those three
25:37
things and the player who spins the craziest conspiracy theory without losing me will win
25:44
the game and earn two episode points for their team. So seem and Ag
25:48
you lost the last game. You have the choice. Do you guys want
25:49
to go first or seconds? Oh? Man, you're the leader? Why
25:55
am I the leader? We'll go first? No? No minute, Now,
25:59
you're the leader. Yeah, I guess what he's like, you're the
26:03
leader. We're gonna go first, just completely obediently. What are the powers
26:08
of the leader here? I don't know. We haven't enshrined them in a
26:14
constitution or anything. So anyways, pick something? Oh my god, okay,
26:21
yeah, we'll go first. Like, okay, you're going first.
26:22
Which one of the two of you? Now, I hate to make you
26:25
make another decision, but which one of the two of you is gonna go
26:27
for? Come on, and two choice is too hard. I'll go first.
26:30
Okay, Stevie is gonna go first. Good Stevie, spin me a
26:34
conspiracy theory. Okay, I'm gonna apologize now for the pronunciation again. Okay,
26:41
I thought I'm pretty sure. I I'm so sorry. So most people
26:45
would believe that the South Korean former president Park going hey was prosecuted and in
26:51
prison due to corruption charges as daughter of a dictator in the country. People
26:56
were divided on whose side the take. Some accepted the corruption charges while some
27:00
believe they were fabricated to hide the true crimes. Okay, So, since
27:04
being raised in a cult influenced family, Park gained a skill, a skill
27:07
she used to manipulate the masses while maintaining good cult values. So value without
27:15
values, it's not a good cult. We're a discussion later and one of
27:21
them is gonna be what is good cult values? I'll bring it to the
27:25
meeting, orry about it. So Park learned of the mattel Brett's factory in
27:32
China that got hit for a ninety four and a half hour work weeks in
27:37
which the factory only paid no joke point five one five cent per doll.
27:42
Knowing the cult like following of these doll collectors have. Sorry, knowing the
27:48
cult like following that these doll collectors have, and how everyone wanted the rare
27:52
Bryce Boyfriend dial that came as a mystery boyfriend in these packs. She wanted
27:57
a piece of that action. And how could she get that same hype out
28:02
of something so cheap? Park angry that China came up with such a great
28:07
plan to get money out of Americans that she thought she should get more.
28:11
What better way than to uh, tony, you can't read what that is.
28:18
I wrote something and trust out the real words. Better way, A
28:22
better way to take down the competition. Park and her scientists developed an on
28:26
contact spray laxative. Park at two trusted advisors post as employees at the Chinese
28:36
factory making Brad's dolls. They would spray every dollar in every box. Anyone
28:41
handling these dials got explosive diarrhea, causing the masses to take all TP stock
28:45
from the shelves, leaving every American asking TP for my bungalow. Oh my
28:55
god, like that's a high raised. My story truly straddled the line between
29:10
genius and madness. Good at straddling, sir, and then fall completely over
29:15
to the madness side. Yes wow, And you were sitting here telling me
29:22
it's bad. I'm like, okay, okay, yeah, all right,
29:27
you are up next man. You get to follow that enjoy yay, thank
29:36
you got you. I wish I was on whatever you were on. Anyways,
29:42
So there is a conspiracy here, Aaron I didn't go that deep admittingly,
29:49
okay, but I didn't have to go that deep to find out some
29:53
stuff. So for context, South Korea's former president Park not i even going
30:00
to try to mispronounce her name, and her aid, Choi Choi Choi ran
30:04
an underground smuggling ring that they used Bratt dolls as the mule, okay,
30:11
using the money that they had extorted from local conglomerate companies. They would fund
30:18
their ring and smuggle whatever their hearts desired in like drugs, alcohol, BTS
30:26
fans name it. But in twenty sixteen they would get caught, impeach and
30:34
in prison for the corruption. And you would think that would be the end
30:40
of the story, but no, it goes on. So U discovered in
30:44
late twenty nineteen but was not announced in full force in early twenty twenty.
30:49
The world was plummeted into global pandemic. You know that whole twenty years that
30:53
transpired between now and twenty twenty three. Yeah, yeah, now, not
31:00
to think about it. Naturally, this created a squeeze on vital resources such
31:03
as medical goods and food stuffs and BTS fans, But one item above all
31:12
else was coveted. The most toilet paper. Yes, right, people across
31:21
the globe. I don't understand why ordered the stuff right, like they just
31:25
hoarded it. Just some even resold it too, like we sold it to
31:29
other people like scalpers and stuff like it was nuts. It was insane.
31:34
That happened like two years ago. Yeah. Anyways, now Parking CHOI,
31:41
whom at this point are jailed but still in the game, saw the opportunity
31:48
to make millions, but we're in no position to act on it. But
31:52
they had someone on the outside to help smuggle that apocalypse gold fittingly the goal
32:00
than Kyle himself. But that's another tinfoil movie. Oh movie. Anyways.
32:09
Okay, that's what I pulled up, Aaron, all right, well that's
32:14
what our boys put together. Now, of Hillary and Tina, I understand
32:16
only Tina has a tinfoil hat conspiracy theory. Ready for me, Okay,
32:22
this is what you're up against, So congratulations ahead of time. I don't
32:29
think mine. I don't think Mike can compete. But me, yep,
32:32
yep, I'm ready spring bar off. Okay. Yes, many people believe
32:37
that the Church of Eternal Life leader Chow tame In was the mastermind behind park
32:44
when he scandal, and you're right, but it wasn't all about making money.
32:50
People believe that a special edition Bradstall was funded by Park for Choi.
32:54
Park was on board because the doll bore a striking resemblance to her deceased mother,
33:00
and Choi names the doll Cell Cel Church of Eternal Life, and the
33:07
doll's brand was on par Hi. My name is Cell, my fashion passion
33:14
is Dictator Sheeppa because I love competitive horse dancing. What Park didn't realize,
33:23
and what many believe, is that the Church of Eternal Life created these dolls
33:29
as a means to control the people, starting of course, with Park.
33:34
First, the control was subtle, like Choi would put an outfit on the
33:37
Brodstall and Park would don a similar outfit. Then things progressed until Choi had
33:42
full control of Park, using the Brodstall as a voodoo doll, parking Choi's
33:46
arrest. Choi tried to distract the world by using the Brod dolls to communicate
33:52
to children around the world that toilet paper was needed to combat COVID nineteen and
33:57
panic spread where parents bought parents for some of the coveted toilet paper show.
34:01
I hope the distraction would allow her to find a way out of prison,
34:06
but alas, her plan failed and backfired because Park was pardoned instead of her.
34:12
Oh my god. Alright, okay, yeah, well, I mean
34:17
I gotta be honest, like, okay, so like Steve Stevie lost me
34:22
about halfway through. That's a surprise. I mean, it just didn't insanity
34:28
way too fast. There's a slope, man, I mean, you just
34:32
it wasn't so much a slope as it was a vertical wall. It's a
34:36
complete drop down cliff. And then Aggie had me right up until the very
34:43
end. I didn't what was the Golden Cow business? What was that about?
34:47
No? No, no, little political political no okay whatever, Calf
34:53
Calf, I should have said, Calf. Okay, yeah, I didn't
35:00
get it. But I mean the strongest conspiracy theory of these three has to
35:06
be Tina's. Yeah, ironically, ironically to write a paper. I don't
35:16
know why she teaches English. Ironically, Like it was the most believable,
35:24
like it was. It was the one that I was like, Okay,
35:28
this kind of makes sense. I can get behind this one. Whereas but
35:32
I mean, I can't like the entertainment value of all three were perfect,
35:36
Like those were excellent. They were all excellent pitches and I really enjoyed them.
35:42
So uh. That point also goes to Tina and Hillary. They have
35:45
taken this game as well. They are up three points, okay to zero.
35:51
This third game, this is your last chance. Game three is worth
35:54
three points. You can tie the game. We're gonna play that game when
35:59
we come back right after this. Hey, this is Russ, This is

37:00
sweeping up. They've won the House, but can they take the Senate?
37:06
We're gonna find out. Oh my god, we're gonna play game three.
37:22
It is time for four out of five dentists. I'm gonna ask five survey
37:27
questions such as what percentage of Americans believe in ghosts? And one team is
37:30
going to guess the exact percentage out of one hundred. Their opponents are then
37:35
going to decide whether they think the correct percentage is higher or lower than that
37:38
guess. If they are correct, they win the survey. Otherwise the original
37:44
guessers win it. Then the teams are gonna swap roles and we'll move on
37:47
to the next survey. And of course this episode, surveys are all about
37:51
politics. First team to win three surveys wins the game and earns three episode
37:57
points. All right, so shall we get right to it? Dude,
38:00
I'm just so in awe and how fucking clever you are like to seriously,
38:07
alright, I'm sorry, al right, I see, I see you can
38:14
get under the table already there. I thought someone was playing foote with me.
38:22
Anyway, the cat All right, you guys lost the last game since
38:28
you have the choice, do you want to guess the exact percentage first,
38:31
or do you want to guess higher or lower? First? Okay, percentage
38:38
first percentage first? It is okay. So here is the first survey.
38:44
According to the Pew Research Center, what percentage of Americans who live in a
38:49
household with a gun but do not own a gun themselves say they are worried
38:54
about having a gun in their home. How many people who live in a
39:00
household with another gun owner but do not own a gun themselves are worried about
39:07
having the gun in their home. What percentage do you say see when you
39:12
say p Pew like the church magazine. Yes, I'm gonna go with except
39:17
I don't think it comes from a few. I don't think it comes from
39:20
a church thing. I think that's a pup. I think I think that
39:23
might be the last name of the person who founded it. But I don't.
39:27
I genuinely don't know, like a pue uh anyway, with a good
39:36
I mean it's gonna be high too, because there's a lot of more people
39:38
with super high I don't know. I'm gonna say it's gonna be in like
39:45
I'm gonna say high fifties. Low sixties. I want to go sixty two,
39:47
sixty six, sixty two percent. Let's say the Dream team, Hillary
39:53
and Tina, what do you think do you think that percentage is higher or
39:55
lower than sixty two? Wait? Can you repeat the question? Sure?
40:00
According to the Pew Research Center, what percentage of Americans who live in a
40:05
household with a gun but do not own a gun themselves say they are worried
40:10
about having a gun in their home? Oh? Wow, okay, so
40:14
this is yeah. I mean I think they're close to the number. I
40:23
would say it's lower because if they're living in the house and they move to
40:28
a whole discussion about like what yeah, no, please fee, because it
40:35
would mean that the person in the house who has the gun. They then
40:37
I also think about people who are like maybe in a relationships with someone who
40:40
has a gun in their has that possibly? All right? So let's go
40:45
lower, lower, lower, lower, say Hillarentina. Okay, so uh
40:50
see me and obviously sixty two and Hillarintina say lower. The actual percentage of
40:54
Americans who live in a household with a gun but do not own a gun
40:59
themselves and say they are worried about having a gun in their home is twenty
41:04
seven percent, so that point goes and Tina, Yeah, it's way lower.
41:09
Okay. I think what you guys might have left out is there's like
41:13
lots of like wives of you know, husbands or husbands of wives who own
41:17
guns probably feel reassured and safer. Yeah, we probably, we probably were
41:22
thinking maybe somebody, I mean, they shouldn't be, but you know,
41:29
huh. Having said that, I think there's a statistic like the guns most
41:31
likely to kill the person who owns it. So I don't know, maybe
41:35
there's something to that. I don't know, ye, but yeah, no,
41:38
just twenty seven percent are worried about it. So there you go.
41:43
Not the greatest gun rights statement, I guess, but we got a point.
41:45
So it's okay, quiet he doesn't know that. This is me just
41:52
kind of making like a pointed reference to when Steve and I lived together and
41:55
he did own a gun. Firmly not like to be anywhere near bullets.
42:08
They're not my favorite thing. Okay, So let's move on. Hillaryantina taken
42:14
the first one. So now, Hillary Anina, you guys are going to
42:15
guess a percentage on this survey. According to the Pew Research Center, what
42:22
percentage of Americans say, and oh boy, you should be familiar with this.
42:24
What percentage of Americans say that they always or often feel exhausted when they
42:30
think about politics? So I'll just lay it out for you. The options
42:36
were always, often, sometimes, rarely, or never, And we're only
42:40
interested in the ones who said often or always exhausted when thinking about politics.
42:47
It's high. It's got to be high. I would say. I would
42:52
say eighty maybe eighty percent. I'd even go higher than that, but it's
42:54
to be conservative on it. I would say eighty. Okay, most people
42:59
going to differ in my p including myself. I'm in that. I'm exhausted.
43:01
Yeah, you have a podcast all about it and you're exhausted, you
43:07
know what? I mean that they don't care, like so they're tired of
43:09
it. No, I mean like they don't care. Yeah, but I
43:13
think it sayesn't exhaust them. Well, it's story, you know the way
43:15
the weight. I'm not gonna get those kind of words, right, smoke.
43:22
So we're saying eighty eighty eight, right, eighty percent say the mock
43:29
podcast Stevie and Ague, what do you think? Do you think that number
43:32
is higher or lower than eighty exhausted by politics. People are inundated. Even
43:38
the ones who are hard core politics like one side or the other or whatever,
43:44
are fucking exhausted about it. So it is definitely high. I think
43:49
exhausted is definitely something that many of us feel like, especially prolonged exposure to
43:54
it. But I think for many a lot of people just come away from
43:58
it agitated, not exhausted, but more riled up. Yeah, it's like
44:05
just under eighty. I think it's actually lower. Yeah, I'm down with
44:07
all, not by much, but okay, but you want to go lower?
44:10
Correct sir? Okay much? Well, so Hillary and Tina said eighty
44:15
percent, and Stevie and Aggie say lower. The correct percentage of Americans who
44:21
say they always or often feel exhausted when they think about politics is sixty five
44:27
percent. So you were absolutely right to go lower. Stevie and Aggie take
44:30
the second survey, well tied it up, but yeah it's still sixty five
44:36
percent. That's a lot, a lot. We shouldn't be having that many
44:38
people exhausted about just how our system's supposed to go. Yeah, that that
44:44
is what it is, man, But it's all tied up as far as
44:46
this game goes. Each side has one survey, So let's move on to
44:50
survey number three, and this time, Stevie and Aggie, you will give
44:52
me the exact percentage According to a ugov dot com survey from September twenty twenty
44:59
three, this month, Wow, what percentage of millennials say they have never
45:05
heard of Joe Biden? No? What percentage of millennials say they have say
45:15
they have never heard of Joe Biden? Are you in the US? Yep?
45:20
What the fuck? I'm jumping. I'm gonna go swim to the ocean.
45:31
This is stupid, This is stupid. Wait a minute, millennial millennial
45:37
Jesus, not even like your kindergarteners or some bullshit. Hell what the millennial
45:43
age right now? Millennials is from nineteen eighty what too, from nineteen ninety
45:50
six or so? Okay, so there are people that are in their forties,
45:54
you know, like late thirty. I'm a millennial then, and I
45:59
know about him. I've known him since. God, so how many don't?
46:07
How many said they've never heard of Joe Biden? Fuck? Maybe I'm
46:10
just more involved trying to get mad. Let's have even heard the answer.
46:16
Yeah, it's gotta be like, please, Now, it's in the thirties,
46:22
it's gotta be lower. Third, God, what are you thinking,
46:24
ag I'm thinking, like, don't say forties, that's gonna say sixty.
46:29
No, no, no, no, that's unacceptable. No, no,
46:34
we are doing that. We're gonna say, sir, sir, if I
46:36
am truly in the age group of millennials, it's probably sixty. Come on,
46:42
that don't know who he is my age groupies. You know who the
46:45
no, not the brightest dude. Come on, let's go I know I'm
46:47
run of them's. Let's let's inverted to like thirty something. It's a high
46:53
thirty. I'll go fifty five. That is lows on. Fine, we're
46:58
going on fifty five. But and then protests. Okay, I'm show in
47:01
protests. So yeah, and Stevie at least partially reluctantly say that fifty five
47:08
percent of millennials have never heard of Joe Biden Hillary And what do you think
47:17
you're going? Lower? Yeah, okay, lower? It is so Stevie
47:22
and Aggie say, fifty five percent of millennials have never heard of Joe Biden
47:27
and Hillaryentina say lower. Well, I mean, like, no matter what
47:30
the answer is it's kind of piss you off a little bit. Uh.
47:35
The actual percentage of millennials who said this month that they have never heard of
47:40
Joe Biden is six percent, so that one. Yeah, yeah, but
47:51
yeah, it's possible, it is. It is six percent too high.
47:54
It is legitimately six percent too high. He is the last. So they
48:00
don't even know what states are in our country or you know what's price spite
48:04
too if people who are against him are voting, No, I don't know
48:06
who he is, just and I suppose that's possible. That's true. That's
48:12
a good survey taker. So I don't apologize for that stupid comment by Hillary
48:22
and Tina have taken two surveys. They just need one more to clinch this
48:28
game and get a clean sweep against you guys, and they're going to choose
48:31
the exact percentage of this time. So Hillary and Tinage, here is your
48:36
survey according to a Yahoo News poll from last week. What percentage and this
48:43
should be something you know a little something about what percentage of American women say
48:49
they have a favorable opinion of Joe Biden. Oh no, so I think
48:54
this is higher. Okay, I want to say it's definitely like fifty five
48:59
or sixty pers Okay, I don't know. I don't know either, because
49:07
also we don't know. We don't know how old these women were, right,
49:09
Like, we don't get a it's all it's all age ranges. Ye,
49:15
a favorable opinion. I mean, alright, fifty five percent, Oh
49:24
yeah, let's do fifty five. I don't know, it's got to be
49:28
less than that. I don't know. I don't know. All right,
49:30
you want to lock in fifty five percent? Was so scared it's locked in
49:36
fifty five percent? I read this article last week. I know I'm now
49:43
who news all the time? Cheater? I'm not Yeah, who doesn't support
49:46
us? Why would I support them? I'm like, I'm like Stevie read
49:58
it's not the back of his medication and bottle. No, I can't rery
50:01
that either, Right. I still believe, though, that the people surveyed
50:08
are just gonna have favorable it's just a buff like just positive in any light.
50:13
So I'm gonna say it's gonna be higher. I'm not gonna say it's
50:15
much higher. I'm gonna say it's like around the fifty six to sixty two
50:17
range. I have to agree with my partner, Okay, just because he
50:21
got it wrong last time. He can't agree with me because I'm at a
50:24
loss. So you guys say it higher, correct, all right? So
50:30
worried, Hillary and Tina say fifty five percent of American women have a favorable
50:35
opinion of Joe Biden. Stevie and Aggie say that numbers actually higher. The
50:38
actual percentage of American women who say they have a favorable opinion of Joe Biden
50:45
is forty one percent. That survey goes to the Muck Podcast and they have
50:50
won this game three surveys to one. Brilliant. That was amazing, brilliant
51:00
life well done, Absolutely well done. That was amazing. Uh, it's
51:06
a clean sweep. They have won the episode six to zero. Desterroid,
51:13
I mean, to be fair, this one was alastic, so it's kind
51:15
of chalked up as loss. Anyway. We have to be we I mean,
51:21
that's true, to be fair, to be fair, what what the
51:25
way this show works is we basically invite people on and then we quiz them
51:30
about their chosen subject, their chosen field, and we expect it expect the
51:37
two of you to compete, so they know stuff about politics. Are saying
51:40
we're handicapped, I'd be single time. I mean, and it's not just
51:45
the wheed So anyway, it's still been delightful and incredible fun. Yeah,
51:52
and I want to just close out by saying something that I truly believe that,
51:58
Uh, the muck pod Cast is an extremely important podcast, genuinely,
52:02
and I am just kind of in awe of the two of you for what
52:07
you do because I know how important it is. And one of the one
52:12
of the reasons it's so important is this last survey that we didn't get to,
52:16
which is, according to that same Yahoo News poll, what percentage of
52:20
Americans say they are not registered to vote? And the answer was thirty three
52:24
percent. That hits me. That legitimately hits me where I live like that.
52:32
That makes me kind of angry. Like I said at the start of
52:36
the show, I love voting. I love that feeling of contributing to society,
52:42
having a voice, being able to say what I think about how the
52:45
way things should be run. It's so important and what the two of you
52:49
do is so important. Now I will say I haven't been able to listen
52:52
to every episode because sometimes I just get mad and have to turn it off,
52:59
but it's it's not at all your fault, and a lot of those
53:01
episodes have been wonderful. I absolutely loved the episode you did on Oppenheimer.
53:07
That was so much fun. That was genuinely so much fun and made me
53:12
want to go see the movie. I didn't wind up seeing it, but
53:15
for a while there I was like, you know, I really should check
53:17
it out because it's so interesting and you made it so interesting, and that's
53:22
what I think. That's like such a service to Uh. I don't know,
53:28
just just not even like humanity in general, but at least at least
53:30
the state of Florida should be grateful that you exist, because I'm certain there
53:34
are people who listen to you and think I should do more. I agree.
53:40
That was incredible. Yeah, listen, I love the both of you.
53:46
Call me whatever you want, like so sweet shit. Yeah, I'm
53:52
gonna live on that for a month, at least a month. Well.
53:58
I feel bad that we haven't been able to get you on the show earlier,
54:00
right, but I'm glad we did eventually get around to it. Uh.
54:05
And as much as I am going to be, you know, exorbiting
54:07
everybody to let me be on their podcast, because I have a novel coming
54:10
out. I dread the thought of going on one of your episodes and just
54:16
kidding so mad that I just like kind of shut down and I can't continue,
54:22
Like I don't know, maybe maybe if you want to have me on,
54:25
we can maybe discuss something lighter. I don't know, but you would
54:29
love to have but yeah, but you could come on and tell us in
54:32
political story. That would be fun. I do enjoy storytelling, so that
54:38
would be fun. But in any eventually, I just I just wanted to
54:43
take a minute, not only to like, you know, tell people,
54:45
hey, go check out the podcast and listen to what they're doing because it's
54:49
good, important stuff, but you know, I just I just wanted to
54:53
sing those particular praises because I know it's not easy what you do. I
55:00
know, I know, not for a second, it's not easy what you
55:01
do. If if I get angry listen to it, I can't imagine researching
55:05
it. Yeah, it's right, you know what I mean, Like it
55:07
has been for like even the first couple of years, I was so mad
55:12
and we would tell stories and it's just you know, even the one I
55:15
did one today that comes out on Wednesday, and it's about the zoot Suit
55:19
riots, which like was a real thing. I had no idea. Yeah,
55:21
I thought it was just a song. It's a real thing, but
55:23
it was like eighty years ago, the same sort of like racism that exists
55:29
today, and the way that they you know, the hours and the man
55:30
tries to dismiss it, and and how we just we haven't changed, and
55:35
it's kind of part of the human condition to kind of not change. But
55:39
yeah, it is, it's probably it's it's definitely a very hard thing to
55:43
do every week, especially because we're in it in Florida. It's a difficult
55:46
place to live. Yeah, so yeah, but man, it means so
55:51
much that someone somewhere else is listening and getting something out of it that means
55:53
a lot to us. Thank you. Yeah, no, absolutely, And
55:57
I exert anyone who listens to this to go check them out. Like I
56:00
said, if you want to just jump in kind of the lighter end.
56:02
Highly recommend the Oppenheimer episode. Loved that one. Enjoyed it so much.
56:07
It's worth checking out because it's very cool and it's a very it's a neat
56:12
story and the two of you have such a great chemistry together that It's just
56:15
it's easy to listen to you when you're just talking about lighter stuff. Obviously
56:21
the stuff that gets me riled up is a little harder, but you know,
56:22
it is what it is. But yeah, so please, where can
