Sunday Night Live!

it. >> Okay. Hello. Hello. Hello. Oh, hello. >> Hello. >> Hi. How do I Can you guys hear us? Can everybody hear us? I think we should be heard and stuff. Um, how do I show comments on stage? Well, new comments. I don't know how to do this. I used to know how to do this. Hang on a minute. There's a way to see the starred comments. Hello everyone. Hello. Hello. I don't know how to put how do I put these comments up here that does that. Yep. Here you hi Mr. Positive. Hi. Hello. >> There's a way to do this with these starred comments, but now I don't know how to do it. So, I'm just going to have to try and my best here. Oh, got one from Blazing TRLS. Every time Bob calls you a communist, you should ask why his lips are orange. Yo. Uh, we got one from 99 Cents from Mrs. Chaita. And we've got one from Kim Morse. Does ML feel the same way about Ashley Babbot as she does about Renee? Good. Babbot was shot while breaking into the capital on January 6. And she was also God damn it. Why is this happening to me? Here we go. That's how I need it. There we go. Okay. Uh, no. The answer is no. She doesn't feel the same way about Ashley Babbot as she does about Renee. Good. Ashley Babbot, of course, was a hero. >> A hero. Um, okay. God damn. I'm so sorry that I just cannot [ __ ] get this going right here. Okay. Here we go. Now, there we are. Here we go. Okay. Jeffrey King 9843. If World War II started, would they tell us or deny? You're talking about our parents. >> I think he means >> the news, the government. >> I'm not sure what is meant here, but I mean, if if the world agrees that we're in World War II, if multiple countries are declaring war against each other in a capacity that is World Waresque, I believe we'd all accept it. >> Yeah. Um, Denise Anexi7541. Thank you very much. K. Van Winkle says, "Bob said that Minnesota kids aren't learning anything in their school. Meanwhile, here in Oklahoma, we're 50th in education, >> right?" >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Oklahoma. I think Texas is up there. I don't know. It's bad. >> It's also hard to learn when you've got armed masked men tackling your teachers and [ __ ] Did you see this video? I didn't have it today. I didn't even know about it. Somebody just sent it to me like five minutes ago >> at the high school. >> No, the woman in the porta potty. >> What? >> An ICE guy pulls up in a car and takes a woman out of the car in handcuffs and then goes into a porta-potty with her and closes the door. >> Oh my god. >> I know. Shit's getting very bad. Panicked Paige. Thank you very much. Um, two ices, one palm. Do you need a happy gummy after today's [laughter] episode? more than a gummy. Um, >> I need a [ __ ] visa. >> Yeah, just heroin straight into the vein. Abby can cook says, "Why is ML obsessed with receiving credit?" Um, I don't know, but she has that. It's part of her like martyr kind of victim >> thing or I don't know exactly what it comes from. I'm I'm no psychologist, but I think it's part of that that has been a component for a very long time of her psyche. The scooter boy says, "Will Haley do a meet and greet when she comes to Australia?" >> Huh? Maybe I'll come to Australia and do a book signing if I can get this [ __ ] thing published. >> Nice. >> I'd like to do that. >> Yeah, >> I'm sending that to you soon. By the way, >> I'm ready. I just sent the first draft of my book to my agent. So happy to follow it up with your book as well. [laughter] [snorts] We'll get two books coming out. Um, K Pimman says, "So proud of you both for keeping this up week after week. Thank you. Watching Haley pop off is very healing for my wife." [laughter] I get people telling me that, too. I was at um a birthday party this past week and uh I had somebody say that to me like, "Oh, your podcast with your parents is crazy. Your sister's my hero. I love when she [ __ ] tears him a new asshole." I I think it's because a lot of people in our scenario, you know, like who have family members or friends or whatever, like >> people just won't do it. They just won't do it. Like you're afraid to sever relationships and and [ __ ] like that. And I just I guess that's the one good thing about our parents. I have always been very candid and, you know, I say what I say and I yell at them and [ __ ] and it's kind of been that way my whole life. So I think they're accustomed to it. But I don't know, like seeing someone else like, "Oh, I wish I could do that." You can, guys. You can. >> Anybody can. All you have to do is start a podcast with your parents. [laughter] >> You can do it every Sunday. >> Yeah. >> Dio dude. Oh my god. 6433 says, "Have you considered using different tactics such as reverse psychology, analogies, or bringing marginalized groups onto the show?" Indeed, we have. Um, reverse psychology. We maybe tried that early on. It's a a strategy that doesn't really work. I think >> analogies we try almost every week. Say like, "What if this was this? What if this was this?" >> Uh marginalized groups on to the show. I mean, we had uh sitting congressmen >> come on to our show who is Latino. >> That didn't do [ __ ] They were on a little bit better behavior, but >> did nothing. Um, flip-flop 1811 says, "Thoughts on Zara Larson's post on Instagram?" >> Zara, >> I don't. What is it? No, >> I don't know. Let me look it up. Let me look it up real quick and see if I can see it. I got to figure out a better way. Like, we should be able to see this when I bring it up as well. Zara Larson is a Swedish singer songwriter. Here's her Instagram. She has 9.8 8 million followers. That's pretty big. Um, she has a post for Midnight Sun. I don't know what this She's just sitting around. She's doing some stretching. I don't know what post you're talking about. There's just a bunch of her dancing around. I I am not seeing any kind of overtly political looking things. Is it in her story? I don't know. There's not enough detail here. I don't know what the post is. I don't even know who Zor Larson is. My apologies. Zraz04 says, "As a Jewish person, I see Donald J. Trump ice echoing Nazi Germany. I think we do too. Would your parents recognize the parallels if US invasions of GRLVLA? What's that? Oh, Greenland, Venezuela, and ICE led to mass deaths. Are we nearing World War II? This is how World War II began. I I think we are. I mean, I think we're closer to a World War II now than we were yesterday or the day before. I think all of these escalations, especially the talking about invading Greenland, he was talking about bombing [ __ ] Mexico. What? >> I I literally think it's going to be like a simultaneous civil war and World War II for us >> because ICE is literally murdering us in the streets. So, what are you going to do? >> And what do you think is the civil war? It's who versus ICE. >> It is I think all rational. It's it's like Mha and Ice and the citizens. Yeah. But like for a formal civil war, you need two you need like military factions to establish themselves and say we are fighting you. So the US military goes which way? Are they on the side of ICE? >> It I don't know because I've seen both. Well, I mean I guess I haven't seen military but police officers, you know, like the police off the sheriff in the town that the woman was killed in in Minnesota. >> Mhm. [clears throat] >> Like she's given press conferences and basically said like [ __ ] ICE. So like it depends on I think where you're at. So >> So it's like local law enforcement maybe or maybe national guard >> from whatever state against ICE. I mean ICE is 100% the Gustapo at this point. We witness like what they did with that dude Jonathan Ross. He killed this woman. >> Trump then says he's in the hospital barely survived. A lie. So the president is covering for one of his own secret police. Yes. >> Then that dude gets disappeared by Ice. They pick him up and take him somewhere to He's in hiding now, a safe house, him and his wife. And then Ice goes to his house and gets all the belongings that he needs to live wherever the [ __ ] he is and bring him to. They're his personal servants now. >> Correct. >> So it's like they're insulating the people who are committing crimes on their behalf. They're protecting them. >> Yes. >> It's [ __ ] terrifying. Well, I mean, we went out and bought two more guns, okay, when all this ice [ __ ] started. >> Damn. >> So, I have like multiple firearms now. >> You got one for each hand or >> Yeah, I have a uh taser. >> Oh, nice. >> I have mace. >> Yep. >> Yeah. I don't know. I [ __ ] it. You're coming to my house. [ __ ] you. >> Okay, fair enough. Uh, you get it from dad. Rio87 says, "Hello from Germany. Safe, no guns, and free healthcare. Haley, move here with your family. >> If we must obey ICE orders, why ignore police on January 6th over a stolen election? Courts rejected." 100% I agree. Even mainstream news is making the same comparison. They had uh Christy Gnome was on [ __ ] CNN or something today. >> Yeah. >> And they've literally asked her like, "What's the difference?" >> Right. Right. So >> that I think like people are this woman getting killed has put this whole thing in the spotlight in a way that like it has not been before. >> The protests are getting bigger. The news coverage even in mainstream media other than CBS news of course which is now >> state sponsored media. >> But um which is crazy to me. That entire network is just proTrump now >> right. I know. I know. Uh, Datello says, "Nobel rejected Machado's prize sharing with Trump." Of course, like that's what I understood it to be. If you get a Nobel Prize or any aitzer or any of that [ __ ] >> it's awarded to you or whoever the person is that that gets it by that commission, by that prize's commission, right? >> You can't just be like, "No, no, no. I'll give it to you." >> What? >> That's not how that works. >> No. Um, Tyberos or Tibberos maybe the colorblind wake. Chad, are you a pans psychist? Yeah. Yeah. >> What is that? >> It means basically that [clears throat] you believe that um reality effectively stems from an underlying foundational layer of consciousness. Effectively, that's paraphrasing. Of course, I'm no >> I may be misstating that, but that's what I think it is, and I think that's to some degree accurate. >> Uh, Bathtub Toaster 79, thank you very much. >> Back again. Bathtub Toaster hit us up last week. >> Hell yeah. Oh, here's one. There it is. Bathtub Toaster says, "Do you ever feel you need to have a moderator due to high emotions and questions not getting answered?" >> [sighs] >> I mean, if you watch that therapy episode, that kind of was what that was. We didn't talk about politics in that episode. But I think because there was a a person there that wasn't a member of our family, both of our parents were on way better behavior. >> They were chilled out. Yeah, they were chilled out. >> And also, I think because dad got to talk about his childhood, and you know, it seemed like attention was being put on him that wasn't hostile, which is what it usually is, >> right, >> on our show. Um, Fade XX, is that Fade Ralpha? At what point would either of you seriously consider fleeing the US? Like, what would have to happen? And do you think it's safer to be abroad or in the US if World War II happens? >> I think um for me, it's going to be like midterm elections. >> Okay. >> Uh, if I see like we're not getting fair elections, we've already agreed. We're going to start looking. >> Okay. because that insinuates that they're gone. >> I ain't leaving. >> Yeah. >> Ain't nothing getting me out of Los Angeles, California. This is my home. This is where I live now. I I consider myself a Los Angeles. Uh I will go down with the ship if necessary. >> Yeah. Well, I live in Texas and it doesn't get much worse. So, >> true. Um Lommo Living 5528 says, "Last live you said you believe Bob possibly has dementia. If he does, will you continue to have him on the show, even though that might be exploiting someone with a mental disorder? It It's always up to his choice. This show has always been for all four of us at will. If he wants to be on the show, he can be on the show. If he doesn't want to be on the show, no one's forcing him to be on the show. Um, you know, if he has dementia or or some kind of degenerative brain thing, we don't know. He's had some tests. They're going to be doing some more in the near future, I'm sure. [laughter] And I I'm sure he'll wear it as a badge of honor just like [ __ ] Trump does. I passed my cognitive test. >> Yeah. >> But so far any examination down this path has revealed he's perfectly fine. >> Yeah. >> So far, you know, we don't know, >> but it's up to him. He can be on the show or not. Um I don't think it's like exploitative because it's also a matter of my dad is like a person. whatever his if he's got dementia, if he's got whatever he's got going on, he has a bunch of other health problems, too. All of that contributes to who he is as a person, which is a MAGA voter. And that's what our show is about is is to some degree giving like uh what I believe is an accurate representation of the average mind of the MAGA voter in our parents. Denny P3016 says, "You guys watch football? If yes, what team are you guys supporting?" I don't watch. I haven't watched anything this season. Um, I don't even know who the good teams are this season. I do watch baseball and basketball though. >> No, I don't watch any kind of sports unless it's like if you know the the women's team in the Olympics in whatever sport. Like I don't watch uh male sports. >> You don't watch WNBA? >> Yeah, I'll watch women's sports. >> That is fascinating. >> I don't watch >> the women now. The the big star players are all like the WNBA is [ __ ] us on our pay. we might go to this other league that they're starting in the Middle East because they'll actually [ __ ] pay us. And I'm just like, uh, is that the end of the WNBA? It may literally be gone, >> right, >> in a year. >> Um, I am also watching my favorite sport, which is trainers and Bachelor. >> Moving on. Scorpio 292U says, "Wish you would have brought up Ashley Babbot to Mary Lou. How can she justify the differences?" Yeah, we should have. I mean, you know, we do our best sometime. I have my little notes. I make my documents. I write down all my questions and [ __ ] She that I had that question in my document and uh sometimes it just gets too heated and it's like I feel like we have to move on or mom's gonna walk off the show or something, you know? Um I wanted to ask that question. My apologies for not doing it. Fluffy white dog lover Haley and Chad, we see your hearts breaking in real time. Have you tried telling your parents how their hatred for fellow humans breaks your heart? Yeah. And early on, it's it's an abandoned tactic. I remember very early in this podcast being like, "That's how I'll get to them. I'll tell them how their reactions and attitudes about these things make me feel, make their son, their child feel. That will mean something to them." And it just didn't. >> It doesn't. Yeah. It goes >> um Aaron Thompson 7281 says, "Do you think Maryl will last on the show much longer? She seems like she's getting sick of it. Got to visit the bakery from Kentucky and buy merchant sweets. >> Oh, thank you. From Kentucky. >> Nice. >> Uh, no, I think she'll keep doing it. I think that um they, you know, they can dish it out, but they can't take it. >> And and for most of the shows, like I've remained calm. I choose my words wisely. Uh, but lately like [ __ ] is getting real [ __ ] bad in the world and I'm [ __ ] angry. So, you know, when mom and dad are like justifying the murder of an innocent bystander from ICE, I like >> I pop off >> and mom doesn't like it, but I don't think she'll quit. >> It's wild. The that old um 1984 quote keeps coming up. It's all over the internet right now and and obviously it's very gerine to what is happening with our parents like they are seeing the same video we're seeing the same video all of us are seeing >> and they just they don't think it's real or they they see it whatever the dear leader tells them is in that video it's like that's what it is. >> Yeah. >> Massao masa roambo 8503. Thank you. >> Um John the Joker says, "Hi guys. I would be curious to hear what you and especially your parents define as American ideals. What does it mean to be an American? >> I asked that question probably, this is around two years ago on this very podcast. >> And their definition of it was I can't remember what my mom said, but my dad's definition was like to be the best and dominate everybody else type [ __ ] you know, take control of the world type thing. >> Yeah. >> Um Chris Gowana, I hope I'm saying that right. 2017. Will you discuss the doortodoor raid in Minneapolis today with your parents? Probably midweek. Did you see that [ __ ] >> Yes. Yeah. That is lit. Like we are Nazi Germany experiencing. Yes. >> Yeah. >> I keep saying like what are you doing? Are you hiding the Jews or are you giving them up? Like who are you in this in this current point in history? And I know who they are. Well, mom did say she would hide the Jews. She said that today on today's show. >> She's like so close. Like to see the correlation. That's all we need. Like I just It isn't clicking for her. >> Yeah, >> it's not clicking. >> Even as dad is sitting next to her, Simoleons need to all die. And it's like that's Nazi Germany. You're Yeah, >> that guy right there is saying Nazi [ __ ] one foot from you. >> Yeah, >> it's infuriating. Jordan Evans Music says, "Hey, have you read the comic Invincible? There's a character Cecil with the same scar as you and has an amazing backstory. Love the show." I haven't read the comic, but I have seen the animated series and I love it. >> Cecil is a >> he's like an old guy who runs this government project that essentially tries to control the superheroes as a military force. It's similar to The Boys. Um >> yeah, the kids have been telling me to watch it, so I probably will. >> It's great. It's fantastic. It's Robert Kirkman, the guy who did Walking Dead. >> Yeah. >> J Jamie Wild 3772. I think that's what it is. Hey guys, after I saw today's episode, I feel emotionally raw. Do you feel these combos are productive with your parents or is it just talking to a brick wall? Much love from Minnesota. Stay safe, everyone. Haley, >> I think I mean I think they're always productive. I think mom probably thinks about what we've talked about, you know, because to see me that angry and to get yelled at, like, you have to think about that. It has to sink in. So, I'd like to think that on some level, she's still thinking about it. Dad forgot about it two seconds after the pot was over, you know, and drank his Diet soda and was watching [ __ ] Smoking Joe's Cafe. But mom [laughter] Butm [laughter] But mom, she's still thinking about it. She was still like kind of sour when she she facetimed us tonight and she was still like pissed about it, you know. >> Yeah, >> she's thinking about it. >> 100%. I agree. >> Good. >> I think it is getting to her a little bit. And I don't know what the straw is going to be, you know? And I It seems like almost every week under this new Trump regime, it's like, "Okay, finally the Epstein, his name's all over the Epstein files." No, it's not. This guy just [ __ ] domed somebody in broad daylight and they're protecting him. Well, she deserved it. Like they will always do these little flips, but like I I just feel like the tonnage of it eventually will break her down. >> Yeah. >> Who the [ __ ] knows though. Um Michael Frey says, "Is Marylu joining?" I have a question for her. She's not unfortunately. >> Yeah, >> she let us know. She's tired. >> Ashy Ashton, as a longtime watcher today was incredibly hard to sit through. As a longtime producer of this podcast, it was incredibly hard to sit through as well. [laughter] Jay Had 21 says, "Haley, I know this show can be hard for you. I can tell the last few episodes have been hard for you, but please continue to speak up." There you go. A little support. >> Yeah, >> thank you. Jad Ziljen Drummer One, you guys tried your best, but I think the conversation is no longer necessary. We understood. Uh we understand if you want to go no contact over this. I'll never go no contact. Yeah, >> the conversation will always be necessary to me. >> They are [snorts] my parents. The only the only reason I do this is because they're my mom and like we've said before, you know, the show is the show. You don't know us outside of the show. Like, it's just a a brief. And for some of you, it's just a [ __ ] clip on TikTok or whatever, you know? Um there are parents. I don't know. I would I will do this >> uh forever if I have to, but literally for no one else. Any anyone else? Go. [ __ ] you. >> I would probably do it with other people, too. I just don't have anybody else in my life. >> I don't ma at all. Like, in fact, quite the opposite. >> All that said, you know, I think like this conversation, obviously, it has like multiple meanings. One is on a personal level for me and Haley, this is our family trying to repair a relationship with our parents that had been fractured because of American political views. >> Yeah. But generally speaking on a broader scale I think the conversation between people who are MAGA and not MAGA must happen or the country remains fractured. So for me like ignoring the other side uh you know deplatforming them whatever all of that I get it. And some people that's like how you got to handle this [ __ ] That's totally cool. I get it. Like it's it's not an easy thing to do. It takes its [ __ ] toll on you. I completely understand that. Everybody has to make their own decisions for their own mental health and how they want to live their lives and all that [ __ ] I get it. For me, that ain't the way to go. I I I really do believe that these conversations are necessary, even if they're extremely difficult and seem like you're beating your head into a brick wall. >> Mhm. >> Little Josh Minecraft, what are your thoughts on SNAP being used for McDonald's in eight states? Also about the government limiting what you can buy with Snap, i.e. pop and Oreos? I I haven't heard about any of this. I saw that he revoked some SNAP funding from Minnesota. >> Minnesota. Yeah. Um I don't [ __ ] care. I just want people to be able to eat. Uh I think that no one should go hungry in, you know, the richest country in the whole [ __ ] world. That's absurd to me. No one should be homeless. No one should go hungry. All of that [ __ ] So I don't [ __ ] care if you eat McDonald's. I just want people to be fed. I don't give a [ __ ] Yeah, I agree. I agree. Swisho says, "Haley, how you holding up after today?" [laughter] >> Uh, I'm not going to lie. I had to go like change my shirt. I was like sweaty and like really [ __ ] pissed and >> yeah, >> uh, you know, I went down there and had to cool off. It takes me about an hour or so after an episode like that to kind of like >> Yeah. I have to isolate myself and like watch a funny movie or something like I really do. >> I usually do too. I had to go >> uh straight into my other show today though. I had to record an episode talking about reality TV and just like completely like eject my brain from Oh, I just spent an hour getting yelled at and yelling at my parents >> and now yeah >> I'm talking about Bachelor. It was a it was a hard pivot today for me >> to say the least, but we did it. Um Mrs. Chakita says, "Cnh, I love how you guys compliment each other. Haley gets passionate and fierce while Chad stays calm and reserved no matter what kind of BS your parents say. Stay strong from Ventura County." >> Yeah, >> thank you very much. >> We will do our best. Lolita liberates herself when your parents say your family came to the country the right way. Those [ __ ] walked off a boat and told someone their name. Not the same. I agree. >> I agree. And this goes to the point of our parents don't understand the immigration process at all. Literally don't [ __ ] understand it. They believe you like walk by the Statue of Liberty and say, [laughter] "Hi, my name is >> I'm here." >> Yeah. Exactly. It's like this is not it. It's a a yearslong process that requires all these appearances at >> uh legal counsel and legal appointments and going to courts and all this [ __ ] They just don't get it. Well, they just have they have an inability to to want to learn. They don't want to learn new things. And so they still think you can buy a house for like $100,000. They still think that you can afford two kids and a dog and all that [ __ ] Like they have no concept. >> We did it. >> Yeah. They have no concept of reality. >> I agree. C daire cereed today. I am sad to say I don't think she will ever believe anything about Trump Epstein even if there's video photo evidence even though she says she will. She Look, here's the deal. Here's the deal. And I think this doesn't just apply to our mom. This applies to a lot of people. >> Mhm. >> There is they build an identity around the the MAGA thing, the Trump support. And that identity is based on being correct because he's doing horrible [ __ ] people getting shot in the face whether you think it was justified or not. That is a horrible [ __ ] thing. >> In order to justify it though, in order to justify your position in supporting it, you have to be correct. And so you can never be wrong about your you're supporting Trump. Eventually that's going to change and it will be like accepted to say, "Oh, [ __ ] I was wrong." Once that kind of like psychological switch flips, I think in her that it's okay to say you're wrong. I think we win. I think we get her >> and I don't know what it's going to take, but something will do it. I I firmly believe that >> mundane expectations. You should open up a forum for military members to reach out to you to tell you how they feel. I think many would want to ask questions, uh, but are scared to be IDed. Yeah. I mean, anybody can ask us questions and send in videos and stuff, whether you're in the military or not. I get what you're saying. They're afraid to be IDed, but like I we have to have video. We have to be able to play the thing. I can't just take like uh you know I get all kinds of emails of people just writing me questions and long paragraphs and stuff and it's just like I don't have time to read them all and they're not if there's not a person behind it. It's it's kind of like it doesn't have the same weight in my opinion. So open to questions from anybody though. Just Justin Justin isn't funny. Says [clears throat] how much to get the famine sumo suits? [laughter] Dad wouldn't be able to, [snorts] first of all. >> Yeah, he's living in one. [laughter] >> You better hope mom's not watching this. [laughter] >> Uh, >> I can't believe you said your father's living in a sum. [laughter] >> Yeah. >> Holly Lane says, "Ask Mary Lou [snorts] if it would have been justified for the cops on January 6 to shoot when they were being attacked. January 6ers uh weren't listening to that law enforcement. Yeah, I I had a whole thing planned today where I was going to compare January 6th to what's going on in Minnesota and it just wound up not happening because we got too heated. My apologies. I'm sure we'll get to that at some point. >> Um Vanilla Gorilla says, "Is Mary Joy Day?" >> No. >> No. Apologies, YouTube. Thank you. The John Horse says, "After watching the therapist episode, Dad definitely has some deeply rooted childhood trauma." No [ __ ] Developed a [ __ ] everyone attitude. >> That is correct. Yes. >> Yes. >> Agree. >> Braxton says, "You got to tell your mom that um Good was receiving conflicting orders from multiple ICE officers. One was waving at her to get a move on." I I mean, the getting lost in the little minutia of what was actually happening, I think, is completely beyond her. In her mind, Good was trying to kill this guy with a car and so he had to do what he wanted and she wasn't following his orders. Why didn't she just get out of the car? Then she would have been arrested and taken to the jail house and released later. Like, you know, you heard it if you watch today. >> There's I think there's no way an argument about like, well, she was getting conflicting orders, huh? Won't even register. Will not register. Kathern Perry says, "Chad and Haley, you both have strong constitutions to continue to love your parents through their callous comments. Comments like theirs make me lose faith in humanity. How do you do it?" >> I mean, been doing it for 44 years. >> Yeah. >> So, >> and I would imagine that um well, I'll say this. I think when I was a kid, very quickly my sense of humor developed in a a defense mechanism capacity >> absolutely >> to live with our parents. And that sense of humor is, >> you know, dark to some degree. Certainly, as a result of of certain things we've experienced as children. >> Yes. Yeah. >> But, uh, yeah, that's a part of it. Just viewing this as kind of like a weird [ __ ] up sitcom or family. I mean, that's how I kind of get through it. >> Um, panicked Paige says, "I wish Mary Lou >> wouldn't talk for Bob so much with the therapist. Do you think Bob would do an episode by himself without Mary Lou there? My dad and I did do an episode with just me and him last Wednesday or the Wednesday before. It was uh it wasn't great. [laughter] It wasn't great. >> But do they mean with a therapist? >> I think they made a solo trip with a therapist. >> Possibly. I'll, you know, I'll have to talk to Karen. I think we're definitely going to have her back on at some point. I would prefer for it to be all four of us, but I'll talk to her and see what she thinks is best and if you know [snorts] if she wants to do an episode with just dad or mom or both of them or whatever, I'm down for sure. [snorts] TJ Gamer says, "Today's episode was so [ __ ] hard to listen to. Hearing your parents defend the Gustapo murdering a US citizen in cold blood fascism is back and it's here in America." I agree. I think we are living in a dictatorship now, 100%. Um Oh, you all right? What's going on there? >> Nothing. My screen froze. >> Okay. Um, I agree with you 100%. TJ Gamer.

It just seems like you simply can't be this [ __ ] mean otherwise. like he's just looking at me. >> He's been this mean our whole lives. >> I guess I >> I get you're right. I mean like he hit line drives at me if I didn't like perform on the field during practice. He would hit a line drive at me to try to hit me. >> Listen listen, you were lucky or or maybe not lucky, maybe it was your work ethic, whatever that you were like a superstar softball player. >> Yes. I was just like a very good high school baseball player, but not the best. And you know, wasn't going to [ __ ] play pro. You could have done all that [ __ ] I think. So, I think he was like easier on you because you were better if I missed a ground ball during a game. During a game? >> Yeah. >> Everybody else leaves. All the families are gone. We stay. >> Yeah. >> I get up against the back stop. He gets at the [ __ ] pitcher mound and just hammers [ __ ] ground balls at me as hard as he can for 30 minutes.

Next time she says something should be done, I'll say what should be done. Well, I can do that. >> That's a good good piece of advice. Thank you. Wyz says, "Love their show. Thanks for sharing this side of your family. Any chance you could add these live sessions to the podcast feed? Uh, [ __ ] How would I do that? I maybe that I would have to download the episode, port out the audio, and re-upload it. Yeah, I think I can do that. I think I'll try to do it tonight. Um, and see if if I can figure it out. I think it's possible. It must be that. Tim Aguilera says, "Hey, Lib Sibs, a diamond listener and a POD here." Holy [ __ ] Chad, where's the hashtag 10 pounds of nickel reside nowadays? What is your favorite music? Thank you. Moving on. Uh, 10 pounds of nickel resides with one Wilhelm Sasso, professional actor by trade. And my favorite music, me, hard rock, some classic rock.

Uh, we must have because that that's within the last three years, right? >> I don't know. >> I'm pretty sure we did. I would go back and look at one of our older episodes during Biden probably in that first year and it may not even be on video because we weren't doing video at that point. It was just audio. I would if you I I'm so sorry. Like I know that's [laughter] I'm like just go back and listen to the last 165 episodes. It's in there. Um >> I know that that's impossible.

And everybody in this fantasy video game world loves his Uber Eats food, including this giant wolf that's like a god. And so this like lowly dude gets this giant wolf god to be his partner and is like super powerful. Anyways, I love all anime to be honest with you. >> There's very few that I just like.

I don't know how to turn them off while we're in the middle of a live. I looked into this today. I cannot figure it out. I don't think you can turn them off while we're broadcasting, but I'm going to ask you please to stop giving us the donations. Thank you everyone who has. We're going to now try in the next 22 minutes to get through all the remainder of the questions that we have in the queue, but the queue is very long. So, please thank you and please stop doing this. [laughter] >> Stop. >> Okay. Um, this is from Bamarola. My parents and I had it out yesterday over Renee Co. Good and it went about the way as it did with your parents. Sorry to hear that. >> That's terrible. >> It's it's really like the the thing that is like not with our dad like whatever. He's that guy. But even with our mom, it's like there's just no sympathy for that family, for her. Whether you think it was like justified or not, they have put somehow in their mind that like Renee Good was this malicious piece of [ __ ] They were saying today like she beat her kids or something or put out cigarettes on them. I'm like what? >> They're just making [ __ ] up. >> But that's they're not that shit's on Newsmax. I bet. >> Mhm. >> I haven't watched Newsmax in the past couple of days cuz I like cannot >> Well, the first thing the first thing delivered on Fox News was like, you know, >> she uses pronouns. She has [snorts] a wife. I saw that. you know, just trying to like vilify and and it's disgusting. Like she just got murdered. >> Yeah. >> And that's what they eat. >> Uh Brendan Gallios, 1961. Minnesotan here. Let Bob know Minnesota saved this country from itself once before in Gettysburg and we'll do it again. If it weren't for Minnesota, he'd be flying the stars and bars instead of old glory. That is true. Um but history is meaningless to our father. He never reads. Bridget Hilton any non-MAGA >> immigrant minorities >> immigrant Maryl and Bob respect admire is there not that I know of [snorts] I don't think so >> I don't think so >> silly BBO I tagged Hive Bakery on Insta in regards to Zara Larson's post all right have to check that out >> Shelly Bayandro Andrew 3273. They aren't listened to. And yet Bob won't stop screaming over everyone, especially Haley. You can't listen and talk. That's the dishing it out and and not being able to take it type thing. They always are like, "We're the victims. You're talking over us and treating us like shit." But it's it's exactly the opposite. It's Trump does that, too. That's part of his whole toolkit. >> Yeah. Um, Stone Johnson, do you feel that this Greenland stuff is just smoke to cover our eyes and will never happen and it's just to push the media cycle past the Epstein stuff? >> No. >> I don't know. I I feel like it's pretty real. I read an article that was talking about [snorts] Trump had requested invasion plans from all the top military leaders. >> Correct. >> So, I mean, he's at least doing that. I saw some other thing. There were all these um uh US like bombers and [ __ ] planes are moving to Europe and they're like, "Why is that happening?" >> It's 100% real. >> Yeah. I think they're going to they're going to do something. I think they're going to try to negotiate with Greenland and then if that doesn't work, I think they will do military operations. What they did in Venezuela is like >> a test basically. Can we kidnap a president? Did you, by the way, see that thing? some of the dudes who were on the ground there. This is unverified, but Caroline Love it retweeted this or reposted it. Supposedly, one of the guys on the ground there that was a Venezuelan like fighter or whatever, like a military guy said the US came in and used weapons that no one has ever seen before that like ren incapacitated them all and made them start bleeding from the nose and [ __ ] >> What? >> Yeah. I don't know if it's real or not, but it's out there. Check it out. Uh, Ratty 5547. Hey guys, love the pod. Today [clears throat] was a tough watch. I felt a bit hopeful about Bob after the therapy episode and it quickly went out the window today as a nurse. His lack of empathy is sad. P.S. [ __ ] ice. >> We we should try to do more I think therapy episodes or maybe like I don't know once every two months have an episode where we don't talk politics. >> We do every once in a while have an episode where we don't talk politics. We've done that a couple of times. I'm totally down for those things. But it's like in in times like this, I do think it's important for us to discuss what the [ __ ] is happening. Like we couldn't have done an episode today where we didn't talk about what's happening, >> right? >> Because we would just all of us, I think, would be just like chomping at the bit to be like, "Are you're a [ __ ] Nazi?" You know? >> Yeah. Well, it's hard because everything every day you wake up to something catastrophic. >> Yeah. And every day I wake up and I'm like, I literally have to go to work and like make [ __ ] cupcakes and like do this [ __ ] while the world is falling apart. What the [ __ ] >> I feel the same way when I'm on my other show talking about Bachelor and stuff. Um, it's just like what what are we doing? >> I don't know. >> Uh, Lilo Gova 80 says, "On Wednesday's episode, could you do a slow motion of Good's murder and discuss with Mary Lou each screen?" I doubt it because I don't really want to watch that video in slow motion or ever again to be honest with you. My apologies. But I'm sure we'll we'll do something on Wednesday or it may actually be on Thursday uh or Friday this week, but we will have two episodes out this week. I don't know what day this the next one's going to be out. JP Hinton says, "The way you guys put up with the hate propaganda and obviously lies should be studied. I can see the disgust on your faces. [laughter] I truly feel for you." Yeah, it's bizarre because I keep like, you know, we're talking about how our dad was mean and [ __ ] when we were kids, but probably like most people in a similar situation, I do cling to these handful of memories I have of like hanging out with him and and having some nice moments like collecting baseball cards or it was mainly all around some kind of baseball type thing. But there were some nice moments that I remember from childhood with him and I'm just like I know that is the same guy. that person is capable of that type [ __ ] you know. >> Yeah. Well, I was just telling >> it's in there somewhere. >> Yeah. I was telling Conrad today, I don't know what we were talking about, but >> dad came up and I was saying, you know, I people on the pot, I think they perceive him as like an absentee father, like he wasn't hands-on and all that [ __ ] I think I spent more time with dad than I did with mom, >> you know, >> 100%. and he was never not at a softball practice, not at a softball game. He was helping me with homework every night on the table. Like I was spending a lot of time with dad as a kid, >> so he was definitely there. Now, his his parenting techniques maybe weren't the best, but he was there. >> I remember dad trying to help me with homework once of his own valition. I didn't really need help with homework ever. And uh he was like, "Let me help you with that [ __ ] math thing." And I just remember him like yelling over my shoulder, calling me a stupid [ __ ] and all this [ __ ] And I'm like, I'm I'm doing this right. Leave me alone. >> I just remember that being a part of that. But yeah, for sure with baseball, that [ __ ] had me on a baseball field literally every day. He'd get home from work, take me out, hit me ground balls, throw batting practice, all that [ __ ] >> Yeah. >> You know, is that quality time? I don't know. Because it was almost like military training. Yeah. >> But uh >> he he put in the time. There ain't no >> uh question no two ways about that. Um, grade A Moses says, "May the EMTs who help Blob be also Molly. [laughter] >> Please, please, what what's the phrase? From your lips to God's no ear or nose or something." >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Whatever it is, please make this happen. I agree. This is a beautiful holiday wish. Ray Cosby, US enacted NATO article 5 and they fought alongside the US and Afghanistan. [snorts] US enacted NATO article 5. I think there may be a typo in here. Denmark had the highest deaths per capita. Does Mary Lou know Trump is betraying them. I >> don't care. >> My dad does and doesn't give a [ __ ] He's like, "Fuck NATO. We're not I mean, you heard him today. They were saying we're not even in NATO." And then I Googled it. We're one of the founding countries of NATO. >> Yes. So they they don't know [ __ ] They don't understand any of this and all they see is just like Trump can do whatever he wants. America's number one. >> Mhm. >> So no, I don't think they know that Trump is betraying them. King of the Hopeless says, "Could you try to get Monty Mater on the show?" That would be amazing. I don't know. I'm not sure who that is, but I'll look into it. Uh, two ices, one palm. Jonathan Ross has a GoFundMe. I saw this. Blows my mind. How is this okay? He's a cold blood murderer. It's not okay. >> Disgusting. disgusting. >> It violates the GoFundMe uh terms of use. You can't do a GoFundMe for legal defense in violent crimes. That is like part of their thing. So, I saw somebody on Instagram [snorts] has gone to that GoFundMe page and reported it as against their terms of use or whatever. You should do the same thing if you want it taken down. It's absolutely [ __ ] repulsive. But the same thing happened to uh Kyle Writtenhouse. You remember that [ __ ] Yeah, what a piece of [ __ ] Yeah, >> I know. >> Jeff Navel um says, "I know there's a lot of news and it's hard to choose what makes the podcast. That being said, are you planning to bring up Jack Smith's Senate testimony on his January 6th finding with your parents?" Might be a good Wednesday episode. I It's like you're saying, I have like how I make the the document and the the schedule of what we're going to talk about. All through the course of the week, I'm just like loading in the big news stories every day. By the time we get to Saturday night, which is when I make the document, there's like 50 things. >> More. Yeah. >> Like easily. And they're all big important things. And it's just like, how do I boil this down? I would have loved to have talked about that. I just don't Some [ __ ] just gets left by the wayside because we do an hour show. I don't think we should do longer than an hour show. That's all I got in me. >> I can't Yeah, I can't. I can't. By the time it was over today, it was like I was ready to go. Uh, I will say again, please stop um with the donations. Thank you so much for everybody who's doing it. We're trying to get through all these questions in under an hour. That is not going to happen, but I have to cap all the questions that we have. The number is going up a little bit, and I'm trying to get through them all. So, Khloe Harvey, in your experience with your parents, what emotional or social need do you guys think Trump filled that made his words feel questionably true for them? Unquestionably true for them? >> [snorts] >> It's just an owning of the libs type thing. I think for both of them, it's like, "Fuck you. You're libs. You don't get it." >> I think now we won. >> I [snorts] think some of it is literal like there's a boredom that exists in their life, you know? Neither of them work. Mom like goes and takes care of the horse, but like they literally have no hobbies outside of like mom doing the horse. Like that's what it is. >> Yeah. They have nothing to think about, to do, like no enrichment whatsoever. And I think this fills that void. >> Yeah, I think you're right. I think you're right. They need [ __ ] hobbies. That's what we got to get dad making puzzles or something. >> Let's get dad some like uh uh like crossstitch or knitting or something. [laughter] >> I made a scarf. Uh [ __ ] who knew? Says, "I'm from the Twin Cities. I'm so offended by ML thoughts and comments. It must be nice to live in a podunk Oklahoma town where they never have to see any of the things ICE is doing firsthand or know anyone affected by it. I think that's a problem for them too is like they literally don't >> Yeah. >> This is all some nebulous thing that's happening on their TV. It's like a video game. >> It's not real to them. >> LCPL GANs LC PL GNS, sorry. Do you think you could convince your parents to watch CNN an hour a day for a month to get them perspective? [ __ ] no. You kidding me? Absolutely not. >> C. Daire says, "Traiers, they did DK dirty. DK is Donna Kelsey. Did you know she was on it?" >> No. >> Taylor Swift's soon to be mother-in-law. No baseline connections, gamers, etc. Then made her the secret trader. Spoiler alert, by the way, for [laughter] anybody who hasn't watched episode 3 yet. She didn't have the benefit of other traders having her back. Gamer may have been able to navigate, but not someone with no reality. I mean, couldn't agree with you more. There was a big article that came out in the US Sun yesterday about all of this and the producers basically acknowledged they [ __ ] up and they will never do a secret trader again. Read that article if you haven't. See Daire. Um, and I'll be talking about that, by the way, in if you watch my other podcast about reality TV on Tuesday's episode. Um, Emily B2P3Q, tell Bob and Mary Lou, per the DOJ, an officer can't use lethal force to stop a vehicle if moving out of the way is an option. It was murder, plain and simple. 100% agree. 100% agree. Unfortunately, the Trump administration is in quotes handling the investigation. This guy's going to [ __ ] zero criminal charges. Zero guaranteed. And I don't know, it's not a thing where it's like he's gonna have to go to trial and oh, he was found innocent. That's never gonna happen. So, there's not going to be this moment where everything's building up to like, okay, is this guy going to get punished or not? There's just never going to be a charge brought. It's going to dwindle into nothing. Um, you know what? I wouldn't be surprised if President Trump gives this [ __ ] a medal, >> right? >> That might be the inciting incident. Um, Vanilla Gorilla says, "Where's Banana Boy Bobby? Is he afraid of being torn to shreds by libs if he dared show his face on a live? I think >> he's asleep. >> Yeah, he's out. >> That motherfucker's He's asleep by 4:30 p.m. PST. [laughter] Lisa Lurma 2882 says, "Do you recommend any books, podcasts, movies that we can read, watch to help us understand or survive whatever is coming? I'm really worried that we are on the brink of something big. Am I crazy?" I would say here's a book, The Premonition Code. This is about how to tell the future. This is a book called Journeys Out of Body. This will get you prepared to live on the astral plane. This is a book called The Holographic Universe. It's going to get you prepared to understand that none of this is real. And this is the Silva Mind Control Method. This is a book about how to remote locate, remote view, and also astrop project. I would read all of those very quickly. Uh let's go to Jarhead. Evil dog. Bob kills me because he loves America but thinks Somalins >> Somal >> Somalians I guess uh will take down America. What strong country he supports? Priorities are so weird. I agree. >> One of the the kind of cornerstones of why America is so good is the melting pot idea that it's people from all over the world come here and we all mix and it's the best of all cultures. That's, you know, ideologically what America is supposed to be. He ain't on board with that. Well, he also needs like a very focused enemy. It's been China. It's been liberals. Now it's Somalians. >> Yep. >> He just needs somebody. >> Somebody to hate. >> Yeah. >> Tina 60. I'm DFW2. Haley Abbott turned our voting records over to the DOJ. It's sick. What? >> Yep. Yeah. All of Texas. Yep. >> Oh my god. [laughter] >> So they can just be like, "You voted for Camela. Now we going to kill you." >> Yeah. He turned over all of our records. That's unbelievable. >> And probably >> we're not getting another fair election. It's not going to happen. >> And I swear I we've already talked about it. I was like, what? Because I've already hit my breaking point. >> Yeah. >> Like if it was just me, I'm gone. But I think uh collectively we've decided that if it appears as though we aren't getting any more fair elections, like we got to go. >> Yeah, I agree. Yoda St. Cloud, do you love and care about your parents? Do you accept that they both excuse genocide and are openly racists? How do you reconcile your love for genocide excusing racists? I love the entire human race, including Donald Trump and everybody in it. Uh I disagree with their views on all of these things, but I I think we have to all love each other. That's the only way out of this thing. >> Okay. Well, I don't I [ __ ] hate Donald Trump. I hope he dies. Uh the only reason >> I'm saying I don't hope he dies. [laughter] The only reason that I [clears throat] give these two people on the pot a pass is because they are my mom and dad. They raised me. They've taken care of me. >> They've given me a life that I believe was set up for success. And I am in grateful. I'm just so grateful for that [ __ ] So, it's there is like an obligation, you know? They're they're our mom and dad and they're going to get sick and be dying one day and I don't want them to be alone. So, I mean, that's why I'm in this cuz I love my parents. everyone else get [ __ ] >> I kind of also, for what it's worth, like I'm not a big I don't put a lot of um weight in the idea of personal identity. I I view more humanity as kind of like a a collective entity and that there are these ideas floating around in that entity. Aggression, racism, love, peace, all of these things that are at odds with one another. And those ideas coalesce in what we perceive to be individual identities. Donald Trump, my dad, whatever. But the real fight or the real uh I guess goal in my mind of humanity is to minimize those ideas, those abstract ideas and impulses that our species has so that we can all live a more peaceful, caring, loving existence. Um so for me, it's like, you know, our parents represent racist ideas, but the racist idea is in humanity. It's not in my parents per se. They are just examples of it and it's more about getting the entire idea out of our species in my opinion. Um, bathtub toaster says, "Haley remembered me. I have to go faint now." [laughter] Damn, look at the power of Haley. John Coffee Post says, "Familiar with the inagram? A personality typing system that describes nine personality types each with core motivations, fears, and patterns and behaviors relating to others would be fun to discuss. I don't know. It is the INJTF thing type thing." >> I I think so. Yeah. Yeah. >> Introvert, >> etc., [clears throat] etc. >> Yeah. >> I don't know. >> I don't know what I am. >> Um, C Molly 911 says, "Britt here. didn't know Newsmax before your podcast. How long have your parents been watching it and how did they get hooked? >> Since it has like been its inception, they've been watching it since its very first. >> Yeah, multiple years now for sure. And I'm telling you, if you have access to it, don't like buy it on um [snorts] satellite or whatever. If you have access to it in however you're getting your television or it's online, too. I think it's on YouTube. You can watch some of their shows and stuff. Watch it. Give it five or 10 minutes just so that you can see what is being like literally our parents and our parents are not unique in this. Many Americans are only watching Newsmax for their news. >> Yeah. >> Just watch it for five or 10 minutes and then imagine watching that on repeat 24 hours a day. What that would [ __ ] do to somebody's brain. It's It ain't good. Ladies and gentlemen, uh, zepper 8888888. There are four lights. Some bald British guy talking to a lizard man. Seriously though, a certain amount of the country believes there are five lights. You know that reference? >> No. >> Live long and prosper. >> Oh. >> Uh, Abby can cook. It's Peard though. It's not actually Spock but Star Trek. Which do you think is harder for her? Coming to terms that Trump or No, sorry. That actually, if I'm not mistaken, was it Star Trek or was it Farscape? It's one of the two. Abby can cook. Which do you think is harder for her? Coming to terms uh that Trump isn't who she thinks she is or admitting you two have been right the whole time. >> Probably that Trump that Trump isn't who she thinks she is. I don't think she gives a [ __ ] about us being right the whole time. >> I think it is that though I disagree with you on this. I think it's about personal inability to admit fault in the face of children being right. I know that's >> that's true. That might be >> an idea for them. It's like >> it's a a final relinquishing of their control over their identities as parents. If we are now the smarter person in this relationship, it means they have no control. Yeah. >> It means the world they think exists doesn't and and what is their their place now? I think at a very fundamental level. That's the hardest thing for them. >> Yeah, that's Yeah, that's true. They still treat me like I'm uh a [ __ ] you know, 16-year-old. >> Same. >> They still treat me like a child. >> I know. I'm going to be 50 [ __ ] years old this year. >> Yeah, still kids. >> Uh Matty B, I just can't believe how blind they are about this piece of excrement that was elected. I'm hoping we will win. Donald's a clown and I hate him. There you go, Maryl. Only human I've hated ever. [laughter] Fade is back at the chat. Do you think it's a coincidence that Good died a few blocks from George Floyd? I have a theory on this. And in the same city that the Somali stuff is going on and the government was Trump's running opponent. The governor was Trump's running opponent. I don't think so. What do you think? I don't know about the Somali stuff. I don't know about Tim Holtz's exactly, but the fact that this and like yes, I think all of that plays into why Trump is targeting Minnesota with the big ICE raids and all this kind of [ __ ] but the fact that uh Renee Good was killed just a few blocks from where George Floyd was. When was that? 2020. >> Was it five years ago already, >> I think. Right. Cuz didn't those the protests popped off during lockdown? >> During co That's right. Yeah, I went to a protest and I had to mask up, so it had to have been Yeah, >> that one that started at Pan Pacific Park out here in LA marched literally in front of my [ __ ] window. I was like, "Holy shit." Anyways, this is my theory on it. Take this for what you will. I do think the system that we are in sometimes like tries to reset itself in some capacity. I'm talking about natural disasters. I'm talking about giant world wars. I'm talking about fundamental philosophical change on a global scale, the enlightenment, things of this nature. Um, this to me it's like it's almost like a matrixy kind of glitch in the matrix type thing where it's like, wait a minute, this happened two [ __ ] blocks from where George Floyd was murdered and that started protests that almost [clears throat] upended our government and almost really changed things, >> but didn't and now this time it's a couple blocks away, but it's a white woman. It's almost like the system is saying, "All right, [ __ ] We almost got it. Let's try this again. And here's the We're going to shake the system, but in the exact same location. That's insane to me. >> I don't know. I could be completely wrong. Obviously, this is just my conjecture, but it does seem like something bigger is at play here in my opinion than just coincidence. Uh, moving on. Better than 98. Epistemic crisis on Insta medical background and explains Trump's bizarre behavior. Perhaps you could try with parents next app. Also, I know you're busy, but have you seen it any 86 yet? Lol. Yes, I have. I like 86 very much. Um, it's a Have you seen that anime? >> No. Didn't we talk about this last time or was I talking about it with somebody else? >> I think it was us last time. >> I think it was us. Yeah. Datello says, "So Vario Gonzalez, 38, was shot and killed by IC September 2025. They lied and said he dragged an agent with his car. Body camo witnesses disputed it." >> I I was digging around in this. I think there's like 25 people they've killed so far and all of them have, you know, stories like this >> where it's like, "Oh, they were armed." No, they weren't. >> They're just openly lying to justify all of these murders. Well, there's there's that one video of the a woman is just filming an ICE agent and he's yet he tells her like, "Haven't you learned by now?" >> Yeah. >> And she's filming him and then he goes for the phone and [ __ ] >> Yeah. He's like, "Don't make a bad decision." >> Like, >> yeah. >> The [ __ ] >> Yeah. Yeah. It ain't good. Um, Mad Mad Zenb, if mom and dad bowed out, would you two still do the show, >> Haley? >> Sure, I'll do Liv. I would too because I think they'd come back eventually. Um, yeah, I think we just change it to lib sibs if that was the case. Hunt 966. Haley, I'm so sorry your parents don't care if you get unalived. Chad, check out Reb Massel lawyer that gives great legal precedent on ICE being illegal. All right, I'll check that out. Thanks for the recommendation. Rogue knitter, do you think it's getting hard for Marylu because what's happening is getting harder to defend. I think that's part of it. Yeah, >> 100%. That I don't know what's going to happen with the Epstein files. That one to me is still the biggest thing that we can use against her or her mom. I mean, or in support of changing her mind. >> Mhm. >> I don't know what's going to happen though because the DOJ is like at this point aggressively breaking the law by not releasing the Epstein files and no one is doing anything because the DOJ is the one that would normally be doing that thing. >> They're just not. Pam Bondi is just like, "Man, [ __ ] it." We released some. You guys saw the like 250 completely black squares we released, right? >> Yeah. No one's even talking about it right now. >> Yes. Exactly. It's all gone. I still in the beginning of every one of our episodes when we it does the little preamble about like we're in a authoritarian nation or whatever, the last little chunk of that is always that picture of him and Epstein. I will never forget. Um, the John Horse Haley, do you think mom gets mad at your push back because you're a woman? She doesn't seem to get as upset at Chad or get as upset Chad. Get upset at Chad, I think. >> No, I think uh Chad, you're you've always been like more mellow about [ __ ] Like even when you get angry or heated or whatever, like you don't go all in. Um, I've always done that my whole life. I have I mean there was one time when I was 16 I don't know like I said I [ __ ] hate you and I went in my bedroom that's the only time I ever said to them to their face like I hate you I still hear about it >> I still hear about it yeah they bring it up every time I see them almost >> you know I have a [ __ ] memory of dad one time uh telling me that he wished I was never born >> wow >> because I did bad in a baseball I have I mean I have all kinds of story. I got beat for spilling Kool-Aid on the floor. You know, like >> you deserve that. I remember. >> Right. Right. Like we got all kinds of stories. But no, I don't think it has to do with me being a woman. I think that we've Mom and I have kind of always butted heads a little bit because I'm >> I'm stubborn and I'm loud and no I'm going to question it all the time and they just want me to accept it. You know, obey or die and and I won't. So, >> lorekeeper read, I want to hear your mom define the word hate. All right, we'll try to work that one in. Ancestor Harriet Mary Lou would have sympathy if I spew the dog. [laughter] Maybe >> maybe >> if they would have killed her dog. The dog lived, right? >> Yeah, he I think he was fine. Yeah, >> I don't know. >> Maybe. I don't know. Art, according to Mo 218, what do you think about the GoFundMe page for Jonathan Ross looking for 500,000? We talked about this earlier today. That GoFundMe page is not It breaks the rules of GoFundMe and people are now reporting it because you're not allowed on GoFundMe to ask for money for legal defense of violent crime. Um BS Smith says Bob seemed especially demented tonight. Are you worried about the pod straying into elder abuse space? We talked about this earlier as well. [laughter] It's at it's an at will basis. Anytime he wants to leave the podcast, he's free to do so. He he does not have to come and do this. Gail Cloudy, I love the show. However, it is disturbing at times. Why did you allow an explicit call for genocide in Somalia to go fairly unchallenged today? >> Of course, we don't want genocide in Somalia. We There's You can only say to your father so many times like, "You're an idiot. That's bullshit." I mean, I think it goes without saying. >> Yeah, I agree. I like 90% of what he says now I just like hear it and then move on and just kind of ignore that he's even saying it. >> I don't know any other way to deal with it at this point if we had to stop every time he said some [ __ ] wild [ __ ] to be like, "Hey, wait a minute. >> You can't really be serious about that. That would be the entire podcast." >> Yeah. >> Um this is Elizabeth Hoy. Would you ever consider challenging your mom to switch social media accounts for a week so she sees your algorithm and you see hers to switch social media accounts? I'm not sure what you mean. Like she has my social media and I have hers. >> Yeah. >> I don't Yeah. I mean I don't know. I don't know that that would do anything. She just wouldn't look at it. She would she would be in my social media account and then go to Newsmax and now my algorithm is [ __ ] [laughter] >> Right. Uh, Shellyley Andrews, they're side comments to each other. Show they aren't listening. And so does this. >> Oh my god, this drives me [ __ ] insane. >> It's like I put this [ __ ] show together. I edit the show. I cut all these clips. I put a lot of [ __ ] work into this thing. >> And to have them having these side conversation, my dad's just staring into [ __ ] space or looking at a Dr. Pepper can. >> Can I get a drink? >> Yeah. >> Can I get a drink? >> Yeah. It it infuriates me because it's such a lack of [ __ ] respect and it's like it's not even that we're asking that much just to be present in a conversation for an hour a week with your children. >> Yeah. >> It infuriates me. I don't know what to do about it. Honestly, I wish they didn't do it, but they do. K. Van Winkle, have y'all seen the video of the Door Dash lady? Yes. The ICE chasing their family's home. The couple there kept her safe from ICE until they left. Also, has ML looked up Trump's charity scam yet? Did the couple keep her safe there? I thought they turned her over at the end of that video. >> I thought they did, too. They were the one the woman who in the house was outside yelling like she was a Native American. You're on stolen land. Like, go [ __ ] yourself. >> But I think that they maybe gave her >> I think they did too in the end because ICE was um adamant we're going to come back with a warrant. It's I mean, how is that not [ __ ] Nazi Germany, >> right? >> And has she looked up Trump's charity scam yet? That I don't know. We'll have to inquire. Um, C. Hutton, hey guys, as a Canadian, I'm really interested in your guys' opinion on Trump's rhetoric regarding an annexing NATO allies. Do you think he would come for Canada? Also, Haley, can I get a Hooya Navy? >> Huya Navy. [laughter] >> I think he will go anywhere and do anything. And I think every time he does something like this and is not like checked in a formal way, Yeah. >> he's just going to do it again. Venezuela was first. Now he's going to try Greenland or maybe bombing Mexico as he's talked about. But yeah, I think he's gonna do this a lot. Um, Danielle RW has not seen movie with all angles. Why not show them? Who's RW? >> I'm not sure what that means. >> My apologies. Ray Cosby, when you imitated Trump's voice, Mary Lou laughed. Maybe it's better to read Trump's words without Trump's persona. >> Disagree. [laughter] I just like doing Ray Cosby. >> It's funny. >> Uh Danny Yelli. Ah, we are all in Haley rage today. I don't know how you do it. I got a compliment on my hive hoodie today though, so all is lost. There we go. >> Yoda St. Cloud. A question to ask your Christian mother is, did Jesus deserve to die? He was crucified for breaking the law after all. Figured it's fitting since that was her excuse for the ICE murder. We did do an episode where we had that conversation very much to this point about Jesus being a criminal and he was executed essentially by Gustapo. >> Um and and my mom was just like not hearing it even though that was the case. >> Mhm. >> Omni Ranch. Uh since the podcast community is getting quite big, have you considered starting a Discord server? Chad, I love you. Haley, I love you. I love you too. Omni Ranch. Omni Ra. >> Um I have thought about doing a Discord server. I ain't got that kind of time. Unfortunately, at some point there will probably be one if if we can get to a point where I could bring somebody on to moderate it, but at this point I ain't I just can't do it. The goat mama, thank you very much. JP hitting 85. They're just plug their ears, cover their eyes. Absolutely. >> Yeah, it's like head in the sand [ __ ] >> AJ Gutierrez, um, the Associated Press just posted a video of ICE breaking down doors in Minnesota. How does that make you guys feel? >> It's disgusting. >> [ __ ] terrible. It's literally why I have guns. >> It is why I bought guns. >> Yeah. And I don't know. I'm not hoping this happens, but I think it's likely that if they keep doing this, just kicking in people's [ __ ] doors like next door, next door, next door. Somebody's going to kill them. >> Yes. And >> somebody's going to kill them. >> That is the catalyst. >> Yeah. Exactly. Then it's martial law. >> Yeah. >> And and then we're [ __ ] So, I hope it doesn't happen, but it feels like if they push and push and push, somebody's going to [ __ ] push back. >> Yeah. >> Sam DV5WG, something subtle from today's uh episode was hearing your mom talk to the fire brigade coming to your dad. Do you think they see the contradiction with socialized medicine? PS, hope he's recovered. Well, I mean, they had to pay for that [ __ ] >> Yeah. >> I don't think they see it as socialized. I think they see it as like we deserve to have paramedics come pick him up off the floor because we can pay for it. >> Mhm. >> Fraser Kelly. >> Feels like we >> Hey, back again. >> What? >> Fraser Kelly was here last week. >> That's true. And I think I it spurred me to do a >> Yes. >> Scottish accent, but you're actually Irish. >> It's Fraser Kelly. That's bad. >> Feels like we do fire here. Feels [laughter] like we've hit a point in politics where it's a competition, left versus right. Anything the left says, the right says the opposite just to win 100%. And that is part of the problem. We need to be able to talk across that divide in my opinion. Legendary boomer sage. I think you should read your question slower for Mary Lou. She never absorbs what you read and ignores all the data and facts. So does my dad. >> Well, they're just waiting. Mom's just waiting to answer. It's it's one of those things where like, you know, in a relationship there's two people. You hear and you absorb what someone says and then you react. They don't do that. They're literally just waiting for you to finish so she can say what she wants to say >> to literally read her [ __ ] Like, but but I I don't mind that. Exactly. Because like I appreciate that at least our mom >> takes time to read the document that I put together and she will research these topics and like >> at least have her talking points somewhere. My dad's just [ __ ] staring at Dr. Pepper Cans and [ __ ] you know? >> Um >> so I don't begrudge her that. It sucks that it it makes her kind of like check out when I'm reading the facts, >> but uh I don't begrudge her that she should be able to prepare and like have her talking points and [ __ ] like that in my opinion. It's hecking he hex. Sorry if answered already, but do you think you'll have another therapy episode? Yes, we will. I feel like I already made another one [laughter] after today. Love you guys. No [ __ ] Yeah, we [clears throat] will have another one >> between like my second child going off to college literally tomorrow. We take them between that and the pod. I'm I'm like this close to like seeking out a therapist. >> Oh, nice. Well, find a good one. Uh, I'm seeing our little number go up a little bit more. Please, thank you everybody who's donated and asked these questions and stuff, but I have to ask you to cease the donations. We are already an hour and 15 minutes and we still have some questions to get through. I'm trying to get it through them all, so please cease the donations. Thank you. Kelly Dagel says, "How do you all repair the relationships after the shows? The last two heated shows appear to have notched up the game. My family have split over politics. Sorry to hear that about your family, Kelly Dagel. Um I don't know. How do we repair the relationship? It's just this is just what the relationship is. It's not breaking because of the podcast. This is just what it is. >> Yeah. >> Dan C, how confident are you feeling about the midterms? And Chad, you're a hottie, too. [laughter] >> Was that better? Thank you. Thank you, Dan Cy. Uh, I appreciate that very much. >> How [snorts] do you feel about the Midton? >> I have no confidence whatsoever. I think everything is rigged at this point, especially in Texas. Jesus Christ. >> Let me ask you this in in regard to that. How will you what will make you beyond the shadow of a doubt believe that it was rigged? >> So, Texas is notoriously red. I think if I see blue states turning red during the midterms, like notoriously blue states, it's [ __ ] it's over. [clears throat] >> But like, how red will they have to turn? Like what if uh there's some state I don't know which one this would be? What if like California gets one more Republican than normal? You know, what if it's not all red, but it's like just enough. >> I mean, yes. >> Okay. >> Yes. So any changing anything but a blue wave and you believe election's not fair. >> I absolutely do. Yeah. Okay. Because I think that that rational Republicans >> are sick of this [ __ ] and there aren't enough Mha to outvote >> all of the left and like [ __ ] rational Republicans. There's just no [ __ ] way >> cuz Mha is like you they're all [ __ ] uneducated bigot fascists. like there's just not enough of them to outvote the rest of us. >> Yeah, I agree. I agree. I don't know though. I I don't know. It's going to be an interesting midterm. Am I confident in it? No. But I I maybe delusionally hang on to some thread that's like it can't. We're not really going to go out like this, are we? Who knows? El Cotton, please ask your mom about her love for Soul Train. Apparently, [laughter] we are at least good for her entertainment. When she [ __ ] said that, I was like, "What?" >> Right. >> But then she knew who hosted it and created it. That I believe. >> No, I remember being little and Soul Train being on TV. I do remember that. Yes, >> I remember. >> I like I think I know the intro to Soul Train from like mom having it on the TV. >> It's bizarre. I have no memory of that whatsoever. And she does love like Diana Ross and Michael Jackson and I mean I the Supremes like we grow up she'd play the Supremes all the time so like she she liked [clears throat] that kind of music. >> I remember it. >> Uh Inatsuhi, do you think Mary Lou is watching your streams like now? She she might watch this video but I don't she's not watching right now. She's probably asleep. >> She's asleep. Hanzu Balocker. Hey Chad Haley, have you heard of Bonifer's theory of stupidity? He frames stupidity as a moral failure, not an intelligence issue feels relevant. I have not heard about that, but an interesting thought. Anita Bonita, how do you think your folks would feel about the Buddhist monk's peace march with their dog, Aloca, 2,300 miles from Texas to DC? Your mom may like their dog. I don't know anything about this. Have you heard about this? >> Yeah, it was all over the news because they started in Texas. Uh. >> Oh, wow. >> Yeah, it's just a bunch of Buddhist monks marching for peace. >> Well, it's not working. >> I think I think our mom would like that though. >> Probably. Yeah. >> Yeah, she'd be into that. >> Aaron T89. I think it's interesting that Marylu said she watched our Oh, Renee Good's murder 50 times. I think it got to her and she's really having to convince herself that it is not as bad as it is. >> I agree. >> Here's the deal. If you watch that 50 times, it's not because you think he was in the right. >> Correct. >> You know what I mean? You're watching that being like, "Fuck, are those tires turned toward him? Is she getting away?" Right? >> Why did he shoot? Like, I watched it multiple times to essentially rule out any possibility that he was in the right because I was like, "Okay, >> like I don't want to [ __ ] jump to conclusions. Maybe that dude's life really was in danger, etc., etc." I watched it maybe 10 times or so and and came to the conclusion like 100% he's a [ __ ] horrible piece of [ __ ] murderer. >> Correct. >> Um but you're watching it 50 times like you're you're questioning it. So she already I think if that was an accurate statement >> I think she already kind of knows that she's lying. >> Yeah. >> Colby, >> I wonder if Obama or somebody on the left has opened a retirement home because you guys could do the funniest thing. [laughter] You want to put him in an Obama retirement home? [laughter] >> Oh my god. >> The goat mama. So there isn't a line or final straw you would draw with your parents. Love your show, by the way. There's not for me. >> Yeah, it for me it's it would it would be [ __ ] with my kids. >> Yeah. >> Odysius, would you all consider not watching TV news on either side and using something like Ground News for a month just to see if sharing the same news source brings your opinions closer together? Uh yeah, I just don't think [snorts] >> Gazun Tide I don't think it's going to be possible to do that with our parents because they Newsmax is their life. >> Yeah, they won't give it up. >> It's a drug. I don't think they would be able to cold viper. Bob has resorted to just saying a single word over and over. Last month with the Epstein positive Obama, >> this last month it's been Somalians, China. It was for a while. He seems like it seems like it's time for a doctor to see a doctor for dementia. We were talking about this earlier. That's going to happen early next year. and has already happened a couple of times. AOC 18349R. Interesting how Bob fought to feel like uh he's allowed to exist, take up space, but can't see or empathize with the trans community. They feel the same. >> Okay. Yes. 100% correct. >> The soilent queen respectfully and without intending to appropriate First Nations language. Haley, you are my spirit animal. Please move to Canada, specifically Vancouver Island. >> We would love to have you. Is that near Ladner? have a good friend from there. >> It's on the list of possibilities. >> Rifel says, "Someone said Bob looked like a turtle. He's looking more and more turtlish." >> That ain't no [ __ ] By the goddamn day. Housing is healthcare. Would you describe one Bob as abusive slash an abuser towards you both? Andor Mary Lou? If so, why maintain that relationship? It's interesting to compare his behavior to the power and control wheel. I don't know what the power and control wheel is. Is he abusive? I mean, you you're watching the podcast, aren't you? What do you [ __ ] think? He's calling us names and saying he doesn't care if we die and [ __ ] basically every week. >> Yeah. >> Um, Monica Allison, do you think that Bob and Mary Lou realize that even guilty people are not supposed to be shot by officers? Today's episode, >> Servious Crazy. No, I don't think they I think they think if you don't comply with an ICE officer's order, they get to kill you, >> right? Yeah. I don't think they understand laws anyway. They're always like, "Follow the law." They don't even [ __ ] know the law. >> Yeah. Seat and lost. So, when are we going to hold Marylu accountable for doing her own research? I pray you'll have healthy releases after episodes like these. I'm gonna start getting on her a little bit more about that hopefully soon. JT man. If Marylu admits she's wrong about Trump, how do you think Bob will take that information? Do you think that could help sway him from the cult? I don't know if they if if he's alive when my mom turns. I don't know how the [ __ ] that's going to work, >> right? >> It's going to be very weird. I don't know. I literally don't have an answer for that. My apologies. Tammy Stansel, did mom lose any relatives during the Holocaust? Polish were victims as well as other groups and Jews. She doesn't seem to get the fascism connect DT. I don't think any of our family members died as a result of the Holocaust. Uh >> but we definitely have family members who fought in World War II. Yes. >> For the US. I mean, you know, like on the the side of good. >> Um >> I don't know. But yeah, I don't think we have any direct family members who were >> No. And no, she does not she's not connecting the dots. She does not understand that this is like [ __ ] paralleled to to Nazi Germany. She doesn't get it. >> Uh, Red Lipstick Club, I would like to see someone black on your show and see if they still say the racist stuff, especially about Obama. I don't know. Like, I'm bad at getting guests because the the um time it takes to schedule guests and stuff is so difficult, especially with all four of us. We only really shoot on Sundays. getting that therapy thing together, you know, for that Friday episode that was like out of the sink of our regular schedule was very difficult. But I agree with you 100%. I would really like to start getting some more guests on our show, especially ones who can represent communities that my parents have no exposure to whatsoever, including different races and >> uh trans people, Muslim, LGBTQ, all of it. Um I would like to start doing that and hopefully we'll be able to at some point soon. It's just a matter of like trying to find the time to put together all these pieces of the show and whatever, you know. I'll get to it. I promise you. Jessica, how do ML and Bob feel about Ashley Babbot >> Hero? >> Um, this is St. Michael. Do we feel we listen to each other today? [laughter] No, I don't. [snorts] Uh, nautical. The don't tread on me crowd is now saying comply or die after Rene's murder. Yes. Isn't that [ __ ] interesting? Isn't that interesting? >> Yeah. Yeah. >> How quickly that little mind changed. >> Eric 882683. What are your parents going to do when Trump goes? >> I think that it I think that they're I think it dies. I think that it no longer exists. >> I agree. >> I totally agree. >> I can't wait >> because Trump embodies this idea of like I'm a victim and oh my god, everybody's so mean to me and I should be able to do what I want. Nobody else is going to be able to >> do that. JD Vance is not going to be able to do that in the same capacity. >> I don't know what it is about Trump. Um, but I think my mom will be very sad. My dad will pretend not to care, but their entire identity will fall apart. Swisho, I do think one of the reasons your parents were so hot today is because they knew this was wrong or they know this was wrong. Sorry. That felt like me felt like maybe to me the death rattle of being able to defend this [ __ ] My dad will he defend. He believes what he's saying. >> Yeah, >> I think our mom does too. >> I don't know. Um, do what is this? Droppp. >> Drop do Jenna. >> Oh, wow. >> She makes cookies. >> Oh, cool. >> Drop dough. >> Chad, where online can I research your spirituality? [laughter] [ __ ] I don't know. Look up uh I don't know. [laughter] just start going down the road of like astral projection and human consciousness. >> Oh my god. >> Then you can you'll get to it eventually. Um Lizzy J, if see if Bob can say I love you to each person instead of his typical blanket lukewarm I love everybody at the end of this but episode we did this once or twice even. I was like not only tell us you love us but tell us one thing you love about each of us. >> And uh we did do that. I don't remember what episode that was but we have done this in the past. I'll see if I can bring it back. >> Yeah. in viz 25. It literally took my mom and dad 20 years to get their green card. People labeling undocumented immigrants criminals is just disgusting. I'm probably going to be stuck as as a DACA for a long time. I hate it. Sorry to hear that. Yeah. And I agree. I look, you know, Haley and I I think have been pretty transparent about this. I am against the idea of citizenship at all and the idea of countries at all. I think everybody should be able to go wherever the [ __ ] they want, do anything they want. I I don't I don't understand it. The idea of a country is just like an arbitrary demarcation on a map. >> Yeah. Well, I think for a lot of countries it's like preservation of culture and preservation of heritage, but like you know New York is a melting pot and it all exists simultaneously, you know, like in these bigger metropolitan cities. So to me, yeah, it doesn't make sense because you don't lose your culture or your heritage just by moving somewhere else. You just incorporate it into another place. >> I [snorts] agree. Monica Allison says, "Ment to today's episode was crazy." Law, it was a crazy episode. Rash says, "Would you do a play-by-play of the Minnesota incident to prove your pointing example her turn her wheel away from the officer?" I I don't know if we're going to do that because I don't want to really frame by frame that video honestly anymore. Doomsay is Marylu rewatching herself at the pod. I don't She claims that she does re-watch, but I'm not sure that's accurate. >> She just watches clips that you post. >> Yeah. thinly sliced ham. Can the next guest be Long Island January 6th guy? Oh my god, that's a that's a reference to uh Dudsy, another podcast that I did. That's a character that Will Sasso used to do. >> Uh which is a very funny character. Joss R71, hi from Seattle. Do you think Democrats should offer a deal to work with ICE to deport only people with serious criminal records while protecting those with no record who are contributing to the economy? No, I think Democrats should not give an inch on any of this [ __ ] ever at this point. But they will because they're ineffectual. Our Congress is pointless. Uh Trump does whatever he wants. That thing we talked about today, >> he [ __ ] vetoed two bills that unanimously have passed the House and the Senate. And then the House Republicans were like, "Okay, I guess we won't vote for it now." >> And it's all just cuz he's butt hurt. Like you hurt my feelings, so you're not going to get what you want. Like people are going to [ __ ] die. >> I agree. [snorts] Tiny. Tina, I've been revisiting old episodes and I'm wondering, Chad, how do you feel about our AI overlords today? Do you still hope for a future in which politicians are replaced with AI? I've never said that I hope for a future where politicians are replaced by AI. I want a future where politicians are replaced by an app on our phones. Take my tax money, what whatever the percentages are, >> where I want to put it. Yeah. >> But in that app, I get to vote where that money goes to the scent, whether it's going to go to military or and mine would never go to military. It would be going to like social programs and [ __ ] like that. Right. >> Um, I >> I don't want us to be governed by AI, but uh I don't want us to be governed by politicians either. I think we can govern ourselves at this point. I think we can use technology to do it, for voting, for taxes, for all of that [ __ ] Why do I need some corrupt [ __ ] [ __ ] in Washington to be getting kickbacks from uh all kinds of corporations and lobbyists to use my money to make themselves rich. I don't that I don't get but I do still like AI Punchy Dalia ML's comments re Minnesota teachers are illegal reason ICE at schools in Minnesota I work at school district in California no one is hired who isn't legal to work in US her train of thought is wild and deeply concerning I agree they think there are >> quote illegal immigrants everywhere in every walk of life in every job and that I should be able to just like go look in a [ __ ] preschool I mean that Nick Shirley [ __ ] >> right? >> They were like, "Yeah, he's just getting to the root of this. >> It's uh terrible. Absolutely terrible." So, girl, do you think your parents would take the information if you Googled it in real time? Would be great to see the info on screen. >> This is This is another Maybe they >> You've done that. You've done that. >> Have I >> googled information like right on the show? You've done that. And I'm Well, I haven't read that. Well, I haven't seen that. YOU JUST [ __ ] READ IT. >> YEAH. >> NO, >> there's your answer. EAC love the podcast but can't stand mom and dad giving the same canned responses each week. How do you guys not lose your minds? >> I do. >> Some would argue that they are lost already. [laughter] Sad chicken noises. Thank you very much. Lucy Lou something in comment from DT subs. What does that mean? Is the lack of empathy and compassion. They live in a different dimension in a very delusional dystopia. I can't stand your parents. I'm glad you guys grow different. >> [gasps] >> We are growing different. Thank you. The plea Trump maggot keeps saying we need Greenland so Russia China don't get it. Greenland through Denmark as a member of NATO and protected by Article 5, but parents don't even think we are a part of NATO. >> Yeah, >> exactly. We had this conversation in today's episode. I was like, they don't think we're in [ __ ] NATO. Like what do we do at that point? I don't know. >> Yeah. >> T Lane haven't watched today's episode yet. Chad, what colors Magic the Gathering colors would you apply to the family? [laughter] You Simick, Jessica, Haley, Celelesna, Bant, Bob, Ratnos, Marylu, Boros, Mardu. Maybe I would say my mom is probably actually mono green because she's very into plants and nature and all of this type stuff. Right now, I'm very sorry, but Magic the Gathering was brought up. Right now, I'm working on a a little deck here. This is my uh Phoenix God of Deception deck. That's a black blue deck. Thank you very much. All right, let's move on, shall we? Don't get me started on Magic the Gathering. This will be another six-hour [ __ ] podcast. Bloody Judy says, "After today, do you still have faith that your mother will be able to see the light?" Yes, >> I do. Uh Lana Lana Lamers Marylu said people come to America to be documented and her ancestors docks are missing at the time US was documentation record pioneers. Marylu locate the docks. Did she say that? That the documents are missing for our family. >> I don't remember her saying that. I don't know if that's true or not. >> I don't either. Um almost ready. Are you guys surprised by your mom's reaction to the ice shooting? For some reason, I thought she would have a slightly more compassionate take. I did, too. I was a little surprised that she was as hardcore as our dad about it. >> She's I mean, she mentioned in the beginning, you know, any loss of life is a travesty. And you could you could see it in her face and in her gestures like she wasn't okay with it. >> She wasn't okay with it. And, you know, at the end like, I wish she would have just gotten out of the car. I wish she would have like she's so close, >> but we're just not there yet. >> Yeah. [snorts] Um, jin up the base. Today was rough. Felt a little hope after hearing about Bob's origin story. Very sad choice to be a mean [ __ ] now. Maryl just wow. Shameful. Agreed on all points. Lemonchello. Have you ever spoken to your mother about how she enables his emotional abuse towards you guys? My husband would pull that on my kids once. Have we ever? >> I don't think so. >> I don't think so. >> She would just deny. It would be like gatekeep girl boss. Yeah, exactly. >> No, no. >> In viz 25 part two, the process of getting a green card through a family member is stupidly slow and it drives me up a wall that Americans don't understand it. >> Well, >> not all Americans. >> Not Yeah, >> some Americans do understand >> 100%. It's MAGA that doesn't care or understand it or whatever. >> And and it, you know, it's part it's a wide variety of things that contribute to that attitude. Mainly a kind of stupidity and and entitlement, I feel like. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Uh Ryan R says, "What's with Bob's obsession with Somalians? >> He's got to have that enemy >> and he's racist." Those are the things. >> Uh Britney Currillis or maybe Yeah, Britney Krueis. Could you ask Mary Lou how how is she okay with Renee Good's death, but not Charlie Kirks? Well, I mean, she thinks Renee Good was trying to attack a law enforcement officer, whereas Charlie Kirk was assassinated in cold blood. I assume that's what she'd say. Limo living. Mary Lou always says that um undocumented immigrants hate America. Can you ask her why they risk their lives to get here and stay here if they hated America? Yeah, that's a good question. We'll ask that next time perhaps. Angela says, "What do you think Bob would do if Marylu disav MAGA?" We talked about this earlier. I'm not sure. Um I'm not sure how that would go. I mean, it's going to be a very tense environment, more so than even it than than it is now. But like, mom takes care of him. Like, she's his caregiver. >> Yeah. >> So, at some point, he'd have to just shut the [ __ ] up. >> Exactly. Doomsay, thank you very much. J M Doula, we need logical fallacy bingo cards. I agree. That would be fantastic. Maddox Mel, sorry, Maddox Melton. What was y'all's thoughts on Trump making the anime Aiggo face when talking about trans weightlifters? That was absurd when he did that. Did you see that? >> Yes. Jesus Christ. >> Yeah, it's wild. When he does [ __ ] like that, I'm like, what do they think of this? >> They pro They love it. Like, they love when he ridicules people. They would love it. It's Oh, [ __ ] I hate him. I hope he dies. >> RK9 Scorch, I told myself tonight if they thought Mrs. Good deserved it. I was done with the show. Haley saved it. Her reactions were absolutely worth it. Love y'all. Here you go. >> Thank you, >> Haley. Your rage saved the show, at least for um our K9 Scorch. Flexible Buddhist says, "How was your dad and mom a professional?" How was your dad and mom a professional but dumb? I'm not sure I understand this. I don't understand this question. My apologies. Anna Arian, do you think got it? >> Yeah, I think she was asking because on it was either the la last show or the one before he was talking about uh how he was in oil and gas and he made all this money, right? >> You know, like how he is quite smart >> but also quite [ __ ] dumb. You know, those two things can coexist. >> 100%. He was good at like what he specialized in and nothing else. Anna Arian, love the show. Have you and Haley ever thought of having meeting with a cult specialist either in the pod or not and then instituting new forms of communication at least with ML? I would love to. There's a couple of cult people that are on um social media now. I might have to reach out to one of them at some point. I'm not sure. I might have to do that. I think it would be beneficial. calling our hey uh what do you guys see as the Democrat who do you guys see as the Democrat nominee in 28 AOC >> AOC >> hopefully we'll find out Lamberttones I don't know if your parents uh will ever understand and change but what do you both what you are both doing so important I know you're doing it for your family but it's bigger than you and we're grateful thank you very much we're grateful for you for joining us on this strange ride that we're going on Pat who do you two have specific a specific line that if crossed would make you in the podcast. If not, would that be exploiting your parents' decline in real time? We have discussed something similar to this multiple times in this very live. The answer is no. And I don't feel like we're exploiting my parents because they can. They are choosing to be in the podcast of their own valition. Anyone is free to not do the podcast. >> Erica Nielsen, this is the last super chat. Oh, no, it's not. There's still some more. [laughter] Got it. And it's still going up.

Did you grow up in different environments? Uh you have probably already answered this. We have multiple times on our podcast. >> Um >> I don't know how honestly like I don't have the the real answer for you. Maybe it was just a bunch of reading or something. I'm not sure, but it happened. A tour95. They should use parental controls on their parents' phones. Their brainwashing goes far beyond Newsmax. The algorithms are what give feedback to the sect. Our dad doesn't use a phone. So, >> it's just Newsmax for him. He's literally not ever on a phone, >> right? >> Dis fish guy, thank you very much. I have begun watching the channel for communication with my parents that are like yours. It's harmful how they my parents feel.

Highly recommend The Family on Inf >> Netflix explains a lot. Okay, I think I saw that one. Is that about the Christian right? It's the documentary about the Christian right that are like trying to take over politics. I think I did see that was [ __ ] chilling. Um, [snorts] okay. The numbers are still going up. Please stop the donations once again, please. Your parents have the audacity to constantly demonize communities, yet it doesn't seem like they don't engage with anyone outside their communities. >> That is accurate. [laughter] >> Exactly correct. >> That is 100% accurate. Disc Fish Guy, the big question at hand. How are you two coping? As someone who has parents like yours, I am struggling day by day. Just hoping [ __ ] gets better, you know. >> Yeah, I Yeah, I don't know. But thick skin. >> Uh, Ben Green, love the idea of your show.

We sincerely appreciate um the time you spent with us, and I 100% understand. >> Yeah, >> this [ __ ] takes its toll. I get it. Uh, Blackwing 88 says, "I have a question. I noticed that Bob calls you a communist. Does he even know that there are different kinds, such as a person who invented it, Karl Marx, would be rolling in his grave with what Stalinist versus Mau communism is?" Not only does he not know there are different kinds, he doesn't even know what communism is. We asked him to define it during one episode. Didn't [ __ ] do it. >> Willie Brag TV, I am to Bernie Sanders left. Your mom seems like a nice lady, but wrong politically. Your dad is nuts. That's false. [laughter] Uh, Owen Up the Borro.

Thank you very much. >> Uncle Fatty is an ordained minister who only marries gay couples. I'd love to chat uh y'all about dad's definition of Christianity, us versus them or our acts towards others. Ask dad to quote a red letter verse. We have done things just like this in prior episodes. He cannot quote a verse. No. and he has never read the Bible. Loi do maybe he did when he was an alter boy >> when he was little forced to. >> Yeah. >> Loi Doge, I'm officially terrified. People saying just obey ICE don't realize they're bootlicking fascism. Just obey the Gustapo and you'll live%. >> 100%. Mike Blogit uh or Blogit maybe. >> What do you think the repercussions on the world stage would be if the US invaded Canada? also down with cause patriots of the Mango Mussolini fan club. >> H >> I'm not sure what that means. Haley, you a queen and Chad, you a king. Thank you very much. Love from Canada. I don't know if we invade Canada, what happens?

We're I don't know how many questions." Okay, we have three left. We can do this. Please don't put any more in. [laughter] Gren Douglas says, "I'm sending a question for the pod next Sunday, asking your parents if they uh think the family that harbored Anne Frank were bad people." That's a good question. Natalia says, "How come you did not mention that the USA called Article 5 aid from NATO after 911, the only time it's ever been called? My cousin died for you. Canada was there for you the only time it was called." I didn't even know that. Thank you for the information. And uh that was a different America. We're Trump's America now where he doesn't give a [ __ ] about NATO. Erica Nelson says, "Okay, this is the last super chat. Gotta bake the bread." Thank you.
