[snorts] Hello. Hi everybody. [gasps] Thanks for joining me. We got some comments up in here. Let me see if I can get to these ones. Um Joy Tful, where are you gallivanting to? Plant medicine ceremony [laughter] uh of a kind. I we're just um taking a little trip, little twoe vacation. my um other podcast. We just concluded coverage of Love Island USA season 8. So, we're taking two weeks off from that podcast and um yeah, just going to go around have some fun.
Um from Chia Petet 9355, I started playing Populus. I hope you're talking about super populous on the SNES. Good luck with that. 999 levels to that game. Each one takes about an hour minimum. Um I guess some you can get through maybe like 20 minutes, but as it gets later into the game into levels 500 and above, you're looking at some massive amounts of hours. And the ending of that game very underwhelming. You'll be um probably sorry that you did it.
Morano and Grace, thank you very much. Um Meow, is that right? Is that the next one in the list? Yes. Meow. Hi family. I wanted to make a suggestion. I think it would be great if Maryl volunteered to work at her local election. She can see how it's run directly. I think that's a great idea. Unfortunately, I think she is probably going to be a little too busy dealing with my dad and all of his medical [ __ ] for probably the rest of her life. Um, so I don't know that she's going to have time to do that.
We should really try to get my dad to do it. [laughter] Could you imagine that? My dad [ __ ] as a somebody volunteering at an election. Um I don't think he would be able to do it, too. It's a good idea, though. I um I wonder if that could be possible. Huh. I don't know. I may look into that. Um K Van Winkle 777, thank you very much. Funny how the people that wanted a quote businessman to run the country are surprised when he runs it like a greedy businessman. He's also now wanting to paint the Eisenhower building exterior.
It's granite. What? I didn't Jesus [ __ ] Christ. I'm googling this. President Trump has proposed painting the 19th century grant exterior of the Eisenhower Executive Office building white, calling its current gray color a really bad color. $7.5 million to do this. face is fierce puss blah blah blah Jesus what a [ __ ] idiot um yeah no I mean I I I don't think most people are surprised by this necessarily I guess some MAGA are because he's broken you know certain promises whether he's running the country like a business or not um you know I think there is some expectation that if that's going to be the case it
would make your your company more profitable because in the the scope of business like the goal of any CEO is to make the company more profitable. So the stock goes up, shareholders are happy, you get to keep your job and get all your bonuses. But in this case, there is no like shareholders. We're the shareholders essentially, you know, but you don't get to oust the CEO of the company except for every four years unless that CEO can put in place measures that invalidate your ability to do that, which is what he's trying to do now. It's not quite like an actual company. Um, and and so I guess that has
its disadvantage, but even beyond that, like he's a bad businessman. Many of his companies have gone bankrupt. He's been sued for fraud multiple times, etc., etc. So, it's like, yeah, he is running it like a businessman, but a corrupt criminal one. Unfortunately, we can't um at this point in American history bring any charges against him because he basically controls the DOJ and the Supreme Court has said that no sitting president can be charged with crimes.
Um, where were we? Jack Zilkin, good day from Australia. Good day, mate. Please don't get Parker. Please don't get Parker/Dan. They're brawlers. Marylu needs charm, patience, empathy, and a relatable story. Pam Hemphill. I'm not sure about Pam Hempill. Or Oklahoma Mr. Global. Look him up. JK, not Australian. What? [laughter] Wait, what? Why? That's uh bizarre but very funny. So that whole thing was just a trap to get me to think you're Australian until I finished reading the end of it. Um I agree with what you're saying though. I don't think my mom responds well to people who are like um you know outwardly kind of oppositional
to her. It's got to be more like the people who have I think had the biggest impact are the the ones who are a little bit nicer. Assign [ __ ] Peppermint obviously. Um, Rich Lois was great and then uh Nate, we we went on his show, this guy who has a show called Valhalla VFT and uh he was kind of like Kid Glozinger and I think that has all worked very well. Brunwin Grace 3729 regarding your mom's I'm going to have to ask dad today about stock market.
Check your vid is t manipulating the stock market at 1704 words from both. Let me get a little pen and a little paper. Um, check your vid. Is t manipulating the stock market. Okay, if I have time to do that, but I have to warn you, I'm leaving tomorrow for two weeks and I'm very likely not going to do anything on those two week vacation days. Captain Goku 2280. Hey Chad, fact checked on the bunker topic from former VP Cheney didn't put Bush in the bunker when the attacks happened. He Bush was in Florida reading to kids when he was told the attacks. Yeah, I think my mom was saying
Cheney went in the bunker. I remember um Bush wasn't he was Yeah, he's like you're saying he was reading like kids books to this classroom of kids and there's that chilling moment where his aid comes up to him and whispers something in his ear and you just kind of see him go and then he just keeps reading and the aid told him like we're under attack. We just been [ __ ] wrecked. Uh planes are being flown into buildings and he's just like okay let me finish reading my book.
God, that dude was an idiot. But in many ways, I yearn for the time when he was the president, when the worst we had to deal with was an idiot. Susanna Costello 8106. My daughter is excited for Marylu's butterfly vlog. Thanks. I hope Maryl knows. We are rooting for her and excited for her to let go of the anger MAGA demands. She doesn't seem to have an angry nature and deserves peace. I couldn't agree with all of that more. She is not an angry person. She is not a malicious person.
It's just that she's been, you know, sucked into this cult. And uh we're getting her out slowly but surely. Jerry or Jared Inger or Jerry Dinger. Jeyed Dinger. I'm gonna say it's Jared. I'm gonna say it's Jerry Dinger. 1842. I'd love you to ask Mary Lou who she sees as an examp as as examples of positive masculinity. Okay, I'm kind of curious about that, too. Who would she say? I believe she would say somebody like probably old movie stars and [ __ ] Carrie Grant, stuff like that. I would I would guess, but I can ask her that in two weeks if I remember. Lily Shepard
1357. Pe Oh, please rate this podcast. For those who don't know, I do this other show called Game of Roses with a friend of mine where we talk about reality TV. And on that show is where I first started making little songs and and kind of teaching myself how to make music. That was one of the first songs I ever made. It's a little thing that goes at the very end of every episode of that podcast. And it just it's me singing.
Please rate this podcast with some music under it. Check it out if you're so inclined. Heroisms Chad, please tell Mary Lou the cheering she heard was for the team, not for America's skid mark loser Trump. Same for any event. She also heard clapping. I was going to say that and then I just like I I I feel like um there's a limit to how much I can like push back against everything she says.
And so I'm trying to kind of pick my moments to come in and be like, "That's actually not the way it is." Or, you know, whatever. I thought this exact same thing. I was like, "They weren't [ __ ] cheering for them. They they were cheering because Spain just won the World Cup." Um, but I didn't want to, you know, insult her too much. Um, anime UQ7gn the clap was for Spain. Yes, not the orange one. Two soccer balls emoji.
Exactly correct. Calvin Mark 2112. Chad, your story about the squirrel today was heartwarming. Those wild animal human relationships are always so special. Love the show. Thank you very much. I um I don't really like in my adult life, I have never sought out a pet. They come to me. This is simply how it is. Whether it is like, you know, move in with a girlfriend, she has some pets now they're with you. or uh in the case of Squirrelius, this was like a literal wild animal who for whatever reason chose me and uh stuck with me on a daily basis until her she shuffled off this mortal coil. And
now all the squirrels in this neighborhood, I'm like, you know, there there's some link to her. They are some part of her lineage 100%. And every once in a while, I'll see one that looks a lot like her. And I know to most people all squirrels look the same, but not to me. [laughter] after you, you know, have spent some time up close and personal with a squirrel or multiple squirrels, you can you can really tell like physical differences in them and little personality differences and stuff. Um, yeah, I miss her quite a bit. I was thinking about her a lot for some reason
this week and somebody mentioned in our comments that I had asked this exact same simmer down question like a year ago and I was just like apologies. I just been thinking about Scorius a lot recently. Um, Davis Angel 1. Did Mary Luc see that her adopted son, Hassan, was cited in the US State Department report, Cuba, the capital of uh 21st century communism? He's being targeted. No, I didn't even see this.
Holy [ __ ] I I I know that he's been like popping up a lot on social media, though. He's really like blowing up to the next level. Even he was already at a very high level, but now he's like uh everybody's talking about him. But I didn't see this. So I would guess my mom didn't either. That's crazy though. Jesus. Jennonic Chad, I think it's time to turn the question to Marylu around. Instead of adding to the list of exes, ask what is he doing that she does support? We have asked that very question on this podcast many times. Um, and she always goes back
to the border that he's closed the border and nobody's coming through the border anymore. And then we try to juxtapose that with like, but okay, great. He closed the border. He's waging war. He's stealing your money. He's [ __ ] poisoning our food. Blah blah blah blah blah. And it's like, no, but he closed the border. He has done one good thing. That's what she always falls back on. Um, who else we got here? She wants spinach. Did Mary Lucy this week's changes to endangered species act? Can now kill newly listed species, including monarchs and manatees. No protections.
I'm not sure if she saw that, but we've been talking about this um with some frequency over the past few months or whatever when it all started to happen. I believe it was two or three episode two or three Sunday episodes ago maybe. We talked about the monarch specifically, which is like her favorite uh I guess it's her favorite bug. I don't think it's her favorite animal. I think that's probably horses. But yeah, I mean she loves monarchs. She has built like a what do you want to call it? like a habitat in her backyard specifically with like the plants that they eat when
they're um what are they called? Like making their cocoon, doing their transformations and stuff, I guess, laying their eggs that turn into the worms that that become the butterflies. So, she does a lot of work with them just like in her spare time. It's like kind of one of her hobbies, you know, gardening and and um she puts little stickers on their wings and [ __ ] Like she's very into butterflies, monarchs specifically. And yeah, I don't think she likes that at all.
Um, so Angel Mom, please [clears throat] watch on your Please watch on your Dr. G explains retrump dementia. Please watch on your I'm not sure what this exactly means. Um, please watch Maybe this is some video Dr. G explains Trump dementia or something. Sorry, solo angel mom. I'm having a little a little difficulty understanding exactly what this means. I think you're asking me to watch a video called Dr. G explains Trump dementia. I've seen a bunch of this kind of stuff on Instagram. People talking about like here's the signs and why he has it and all this kind of stuff. It's like I don't know. No one
cares. No one gives a [ __ ] Like we've all been saying this for a long time now. He's obviously in health decline. He obviously has something wrong with his [ __ ] brain. when you see him up there and he's giving speeches and he's like just gibberish, can't [ __ ] string a sentence together or goes off on some bizarro world tangent, it's like, yeah, he ain't all there. No one gives a [ __ ] We got [ __ ] Mitch McConnell right now. What is it? July 26th. So, he's got how many days are in July? 30 31 plus three. So, he's got like eight days to
basically like pretend he's alive still [laughter] until they can get through that threshold where Thomas Massie can't run. Um, and I think they're going to do it. No one has seen this [ __ ] in a month. And they're just going to do it. So, you think they give a [ __ ] about if Trump has dementia? They got a literal [ __ ] corpse still operating operating in the Senate. They don't care. JS Canyon, what is your secret to building muscle while being a vegan? Um, I lift weights pretty much every day. I eat creatine and I eat um BCAAs, branch chain amino acids, and then I
eat, you know, decent amount of of protein. I think I eat a lot of lentils, a lot of tofu, and that's pretty much it. And I feel like that that works well enough for me anyway. um at my advanced stage. This strange place 22 Chad describe the novel The One Tree. The one tree. What's that? The one tree. Oh, the one tree. You probably It's probably behind me somewhere. Yeah, it's right over here. Um Stephen R. Donaldson that is from a series that is called um I mean the series is one of the the greatest fantasy series of all time.
It's about a dude who I think the whole series is called The Illearth War. It's about a dude who has it's set in the 80s which I believe is when it was written maybe the 70s. It's about a guy who has leprosy and he's like living up on this hill and the little community that he lives in, he hates them because they kind of like shun him and he has he still wears his wedding band that's made of white gold which becomes important later and um his wife has left him and he gets a electric bill I believe if I remember. It's been a minute since I've
read the series. He gets an electric bill in the mail and he's like you know what I'm not going to mail this back. [ __ ] these people. They have to deal with me. He has again leprosy. He's missing some fingers because of it. And everybody knows that he has leprosy. And so he marches down into the city and as he's crossing the street, he gets hit by a police car and he wakes up in this like fantasy world where uh magic is like siphoned out of the the earth itself. And there is a the kind of big bad character, the you know Sauron
character or whatever in that uh fantasy book is called Lord Fowl. And this guy who wakes up in this fantasy world is like immediately elevated to a messiah figure. And they the people in this world believe he is the kind of like prophesied um messiah of their world returned because he has certain uh featuristics or features characteristics I should say that resemble the prior messiah named Bareric halfhand. So, because this guy is missing some um fingers, they think it's him. And because he has white gold, which is the most powerful magical substance in this realm, they're like, "He's bearan returned. You got to go
fight Lord Fowl." And there's a bunch of books in this series. And it it vascalates back and forth between him and this world. And then he'll wake back up in our world and be like, "What the [ __ ] Was that all a dream?" But eventually he starts meeting other people in the fantasy world from our world who also have like there's a guy who's blind but in that world he's blind in our world but in that world he is like a general a war general because he has this kind of like magical vision to see you know more [ __ ] than the average
person can see. And the one tree is one of the books in that series. Chronicles of Thomas Covenant is what the series is called if you're interested. Um don't get me started. McKenna Hickey 9467. You think M won't leave because judgment from MAGA friends? No. I She doesn't have many MAGA friends. I know she says she does, but it's like mainly online. Jules, who's been on our show, is one of them, but I don't think Jules would care, honestly. Um, I don't think it's about that. I think it's about like a personal attachment to the the identity. Um, you know, having having held that stance for at this
point a decade, I just think that it's like it's a difficult thing to just shed that instantaneously and it's it's taken her some time to even get to this point. Abby Kane Cook, do you think MAGA thinks they'll ever get anything reciprocated for their loyalty to Trump? It's like they're waiting for participation awards. Yeah, my I mean, [ __ ] my mom when Trump got reelected uh this this past time. Um both my mom and my dad were like 100% sure that he was going to send everybody checks for $2,500 or whatever. Where the [ __ ] is that? You know, they are 100%
waiting for that. Waiting for a direct reward from Trump for voting for him. Obviously, it's never coming. In fact, quite the opposite. Everybody's getting [ __ ] over. And I think, you know, as as bad as it is that my dad is like undergoing some pretty gnarly health [ __ ] right now, um I think it's been good for my mom overall to see how dysfunctional the American health care system is, even for somebody like my parents who have, you know, in quotes insurance. It has not been easy for them to navigate this. And uh, you know, I think that's been very eye openening for
both of them. Honestly, I don't think it has changed my dad's mind about Trump, but I think it is like it's definitely one of the big catalysts for my mom. I think absolute Ido Chad is Rouetti and reincarnation of Bob. Um, oh, Rudy, you probably mean Well, no, cuz they were both alive at the same time. You see, Rudy was a dog that my mom and dad both had while my dad was living as he is now. Rudy is no longer living.
At least in the way time functions in this plane, it's causal. Um, it's linear. So, no. The answer is no. Jane doll, friendly reminder. We are all connected indeed. And our thoughts create reality. Indeed. Indeed. Darkness feeds on fair. On fear indeed. Positive energy is far more powerful. Indeed. So take one minute a day to imagine the world you want to live in. Indeed. Or take multiple hours per day to do deep meditations where you're trying to have an out-of- body experience so that you can travel on the astral plane and discover the secrets of reality. You can do that as well. Whatever you prefer.
Davis Angel 1. I'm praying for the safety of Haley and all her employees in light of recent events. I hope they find the douche that's been vandalizing her and others cars. I know. It's so annoying. Like the uh just the kind of cowardice of it, too. It's like I'm keying your car and you'll never know who did it. It's just like h it's so annoying and it just fills you with rage when [ __ ] like that happens to you. At least it does to me. Um Andrew Woodland, my favorite part of the pot is when Chad is on his own and tries to pronounce
usernames. [laughter] Glad you enjoy it. I'm so sorry. I have like um obviously real trouble with reading stuff. If it's like even slightly incorrect, it just like my brain just [ __ ] melts. Like if something is slightly misspelled or it's using letters instead or numbers instead of letters or whatever, I just can't [ __ ] compute it. It It blanks me out. My apologies. Jennonic.
Someone you should have on to talk to. Marylu, Rich Lois, the founder of Lev Maga. Funny you should say that. We had him on the show. There's a whole episode with just him talking to me, my sister, and my mom. And uh you can go watch that. It's in our YouTube feed right now. We did this maybe a month ago, maybe more. Maybe maybe five weeks ago, I think. I'm not sure if that's exactly accurate, but around there. And the thumbnail for it is him.
He's right in the middle, and it says Rich Lois leaving MAGA. Can't miss it. Harley Productions. You have probably answered this before, but I watched your Pilot Pylet TV show. I liked it. Why is Why is your character have a different name? Are you going to try again and make another TV show? You're talking about the pilot that I did for ABC a million years ago, 15 years ago probably, it's got to be now, called Southern Discomfort. It was about my family. It was a sitcom. Don Johnson played my father. Mary Steinberg played my mother. Sophia Bush played my sister.
A guy named Steve Thally played me. Um, [snorts] and yes, some of the names were rearranged for a variety of reasons. Some of the executives just didn't like the uh the guy who wrote the pilot, who created the show has his name in it. Sometimes they are fine with that. Sometimes they hate it. In this case, they hated it. I think my mom's name was changed to Maggie as well because somebody didn't like Mary Lou. So, it's just like the nature of making these things. Once you sign that dotted line and you sell your little idea to a network or a TV or a studio,
they can do whatever the [ __ ] they want with it and you have no power whatsoever. I have gone through that process a million times and it always sucks. Um, so would I try again to make another TV show? Um, yeah. and and I'm actively doing that in some capacity, but probably not about my family. I think honestly the kind of art project, I've always wanted to do something with my family. I I've written a lot about them. I had that pilot that you're talking about, but I think this podcast is actually like the kind of um it's the perfected form of a a an art
project to do about my family because I'm doing it with them. And I just don't think that that that can for me anyway artistically I don't think that anything could be as fulfilling as that. Like I don't even want to write a fictional version of my family at this point because I'm getting to do the real thing which I think is fantastic. But that pilot even 15 years ago it was when Obama what that must have been his second term. He was in office when I made that pilot and even then it was like pretty I mean for an ABC sitcom it was pretty hardcore um political. You
know, the parents were like, at least the dad was super right-wing. He has some jokes in there about how he doesn't like Obama and [ __ ] Um, the kids were super liberal. It was like, strangely, it's about how it is now. Everybody was younger, obviously, but yeah. Um, thanks for watching it. I hope you enjoyed it. Uh, God, what a story. That that pilot was a a nightmare. I sold it to ABC. It was like in a bidding war. So just from the pitch, which means all networks at the time, uh, and all of them at the time were doing comedy, including Fox.
So it was CBS, NBC, Fox, and ABC all wanted to do it. They got into a bidding war, which means that they each then started to put more money behind it, money against the project, basically. So that's not money that I get. That's money that they would have to pay to the studio. And that studio was Sony if they don't make the pilot. Um, so I forget what the amount was, but it basically incentivizes them to make the pilot because they buy a bunch of pilot scripts per year or they used to. This this is not how it works anymore.
Believe me, this Hollywood is dead and will never come back. But this is how it used to be. Every network would buy about 80 um sitcom pilots. And of those 80, they would make maybe 10 or 12 like actual individual episodes. Then of those 10 or 12, they might put two or three on the air per season. Um, ordering, you know, 10 to 12 episodes of that uh, specific show. And everything else gets thrown in the trash. I've had I don't know how many pilots I've sold that just got thrown in the trash.
Dozens. Um, that season though, they made that pilot and the script that I turned in I thought was really good, really funny, really hit the kind of juxtaposition between like liberal kids who have to live at home with their right-wing parents because they can't get jobs and they don't have money. And so it's like as much as they hate their parents ideology, it's like their parents are paying for their whole life. So I just thought like the the setup of it was like funny. Not that that was the case with me and my sister. That was kind of fictionalized obviously, but um then
they were like, "Yes, we're going to make this pilot." And then about halfway through the production of the pilot, we're building our sets. We're doing rewrites on the script for their notes, blah blah blah, table reads, all this [ __ ] casting it. They I had a showrunner that I had worked with on a prior pilot. He was involved. They fired him. They brought these two guys in who wrote Smurfs. And then those two guys literally plagiarize the pilot of Family Ties like verbatim in some cases that they change the plot to like the parents want to get into a country club but the
their kids are crazy and if the people who own the country club see how crazy their kids are, they're never going to get in. And I was just like what the [ __ ] is this? Some weird '8s [ __ ] And indeed it was. I found out later they just plagiarized uh the family tight script and um they threw it in the trash. That was it. We made the pilot and they threw it in the trash. Cheers.
Welcome to Hollywood. Lily Shepard 1357, please do a beginner's guide to Magic the Gathering on your other pod. Jesus, I don't know if I even can at this point. I'm so I'm so tainted by the the twisting energies of Magic the Gathering. Could I even go back mentally to remember what it was like when I first started and try to do that? I'll I'll take that in consideration, though.
That might be kind of a fun one to do. Deer's gone wild. If every month you could pee all the pee that you had to pee out in one sitting versus having to do it for the rest of the month, total time a month's worth of pee would take you to pee in one sitting, would you? Yes. Yes. I mean, how much time does it take you to pee? Maybe 30 seconds per pee. How many of those are you doing a day? Four or five.
So, it's a couple of minutes per day. Yeah. You're looking at maybe like let's say generously an hour and a half of peeing to not have to pee at all for the rest of the month. Yeah. 100% doing that. And for everything else, I would do it for eating. I would do it for sleeping, [ __ ] um, any of the basic biological functions. If I could just knock them all out in a day and then not have to worry about it for 29 days. 100% doing that. Or I guess sleeping is different because it's eight hours a day. It's onethird of your life. So
you'd have to, you know, drip off what, like uh, maybe a week and a half roughly of just being out cold. That might suck, Natalie. Or it might be good because then you could do some weird dream [ __ ] Natalie Peterson 4181. Butterfly and skincare vids from Haley and Mary Lou would be great. Do you think Marylu and Bob feel resentment and does that influence their politics and who they blame? Resentment for I'm not sure exactly what you mean by do they feel resentment um and does it influence their politics and who they blame?
Uh, I'm not sure exactly who you might or what you might think they're resenting. I'm sorry. Um, I cannot answer this question because I don't quite understand it. My apologies. Jerry Dinger. Oh, Jerry Dinger, 1842. You should reach out to Sam Cedar. An older man might be convincing to her. Okay. I'm not sure who that Sam Cedar is, but taken to adisement. Icarus Ryzen. Have you read Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dineman? Not yet. It's subtly very political and extremely good. I haven't yet, but I love that genre in anime. Um, and I generally like when American authors rip off anime genres, like Hunger Games, for example.
I didn't read the book series, but I love those movies. Probably the same will be true of Dungeon Crawler or Carl. I don't think I'll watch or I'll read the books, but I will watch that TV show when it gets done. Uh, and I'm sure I'll like it. Rafe Vorselman's. Hope I'm saying that right. So, where will you be traveling? By the way, watched Attack on Titan because of your love for it. Man, what a trip. Glad you liked it. Attack on Titan's one of the greatest animes of all time. Where will I be traveling? Abroad. That's all I'll say. I might do some social media
about it. You can watch that if you like. Shady Plants. Chad, your aura is glowing. Thank you. I've started my journey into meditation. Great. And manifesting my desires. Great. any wrecks of music or guided meditations to sleep to? I used to sleep to um it's just like this I guess it's like the producer or the people who make this music are called M RM team and they have a bunch of like binaural you know theta theta wave kind of spacey [ __ ] I used to sleep to that. Um now I sleep to crickets. But in terms of um guided meditations, I do gateway and I would
highly recommend that. It's very weird, but it's very fun. You can't Well, I guess you can sleep to it. I've definitely conked out during them sometimes. They're 30 minutes long. The first one I think is on YouTube. You just need a pair of overear headphones because they use kind of like uh weird sound modulations to put your brain in a specific state. But check it out if that's of interest to you. I speak HTML.
Have you seen the AI slop T posted today about Trump 2028? Oh, Trump posted today about Trump 2028 and Iran's oil tanker on T Trump Trump T- Social. Truth Social. Check the POTUS channel on Discord later. I will. Yeah, there's a Discord. Oh [ __ ] I forgot to mention that. I'm going to put a link in if you're here right now. I'm gonna put a link somewhere. I'll probably put it in the episode description of today's show to the uh the Discord that has been set up by a fantastic watcher of the show.
It's very cool. I don't really go on Discord all that much. I have checked it out a little bit. Um I probably will not be in there, but if you want to have conversations with other people who watch the show or just other people are talking about politics and [ __ ] um I'll drop that link in the episode description of today's episode, I'll have a link to it in there if you want it.
Um, but no, I didn't see the AI slot Trump posted about Trump 2028. I saw he posted one that was Caitlyn Collins on like face on Dylan Mulaney's body. I saw that one. This [ __ ] is just like, it's absurd to me that that type of behavior from a sitting United States president is just like totally normal. No one gives a [ __ ] It's not even news.
It's just [ __ ] come on, who cares? Merkin, madam, I just finished the average American male. Thank you for reading it. Haha. How much of the main character is actually you? I noticed some common interests. Example, Tory Amos. That's about it. Little surface things that I thought were kind of funny to throw in. Obviously, some of the the things are like stuff I like or video games I like or whatever, but beyond that, there is no um there's no similarities. Uh that book, I wrote that book when I was 26, I think. 25 or 26.
It was my first novel post all the stuff that I was writing in college and high school. Um, and yeah, it was just kind of like a reaction to there was a book that came out around that time called He's Just Not That Into You. And I just, you know, all my buddies and stuff like were aware of that book and we were like, this is not remotely reflective of like how guys really think about relationships and stuff. And so that book, Average American Male, was kind of a reaction to that. Um, and it was more of a writing exercise than anything. And
then I wound up getting it published and uh, that was that. Lily Shepard 1357, I hope Bob keeps getting stronger even though I'm a total leftist. Even though I'm a total leftist, I think I like your parents. Lol. China. Bob's voice is now a stem for my [laughter] [snorts] Holy [ __ ] So you guys are just walking around going J. [laughter] Enjoy. I hope you get some uh some pleasure out of it. That's [ __ ] hilarious. Juan tante in the mix. Since Maryl loves whistleblowers show her Jeremiah Chafield, he reported to Congress that he that Doge DHS tried to have 2.7 million living people marked as
deceased in social security records, which means they can evoked. Jesus Christ. I mean, the damage I think that like Elon Musk did, it's it's crazy that we like forget for the first six months of Trump's presidency, he was the president and he installed all this [ __ ] in our governmental systems through Doge. And I'm talking about like personnel, software, um, protocols, all kinds of stuff that just has allowed him to destroy [ __ ] I I read some other report that was like over a 100,000 people have died because we defunded US aid. That's also him. Doge. It's [ __ ] terrible.
Jennonic Trump is being constructed entirely of human flaws. Feel free to give that one to Haley to put on a t-shirt. All right, I'll let her know. Jerry Dinger. LOL. It's Yari Edinger.
[laughter] I'm so sorry. I didn't [laughter] say [ __ ] Jerry Digger. Yari, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. Please forgive me. Yari Edinger. [laughter] I'm so sorry. Yari Edinger. Oh [ __ ] Side of the H420. Please watch Dr. G analysis of Trump's cognitive decline. Someone else recommended that and I is Dr. G the guy that's on Instagram. He wears glasses. I think I've seen this guy a bunch.
Um, dysfunction. GG. GG yourself. 10 jewels. What's 10 jewels? I don't even know what that means. Sneezy Pixie87, have you heard about how we've reached tank bottom on the strategic p Jesus Christ strategic petroleum reserve or how we are rapidly depleting our munitions and that is why we pause strikes in Iran. I haven't heard anything about the petroleum reserve but I the munitions for sure that's been in the news for the past like maybe three or four weeks.
People have been saying that the we're running out of stuff and that's why Hegsth went and asked for another 63 billion or whatever the [ __ ] it was to continue the war. It ain't good. Um, it ain't good. And there's some I I haven't seen this being reported anywhere mainstream. And it's kind of a fringe theory, but it's it's out there that there is potentially some kind of like bigger plan happening here with um not just Iran, but Russia, China potentially in on this too, that they want to draw the United States into a protracted war that is going to deplete us of resources, morale, etc., etc.,
etc., and then attack America uh when we're like at our weakest. I don't know if that's true. I've seen it out there. It's being pushed around the internet, but that's that. Oh [ __ ] And now I forgot to do um to turn off the super chats. Hang on one second while I remember how to do this. Thank you everybody by the way for joining me tonight and for everybody who has put a super chat in the thing. I'm gonna answer them all, but I'm gonna turn them off now. So, if you have three seconds to put another one in if you want to, and then I'm
turning them off in three, two, one. I've turned them off. So, thank you everybody for putting them in there. I'm going to go through them all. Let's begin. Samal um postelection pod Mary Lou tells Chad and Haley not to worry. Give it time. and things will be great. Then last week she says she's scared and I'm like whoa full circle. I wonder what she will say to hearing herself say that. I wish if I could have like one thing to help soup up this podcast. It would be the time to go back and look at old clips and pull old clips of us saying stuff like that.
I think it would be um eyeopening for my mom to see old clips of herself saying some of this wild [ __ ] And obviously now she's in a position where like whatever promises she thought Trump was gonna carry through on are just [ __ ] blown out of the water. Uh yeah, I wish I could do that. I just don't have the time. Kayla Tots, you worried about Maril losing progress with your time away? Not at all. Not at all. I think it's going to be great for her actually.
I think it's going to let her kind of like chill out a little bit because, you know, if you if you've watched the show with some frequency in the past couple of weeks, every once in a while, she'll throw in a comment that's like, "Why are you guys beating up on me?" or like, "Okay, I get it. I'm not going to do it today." I think it's going to give her time to just kind of like sit with where she's at, which is potentially necessary. And then when we come back in a couple of weeks, I think it's like the engines are gonna going to be coming on
stronger. I feel like in terms of her understanding of like why she doesn't like Trump and the fact that she she doesn't like so much [ __ ] about him that it may be okay to let him go. I think I we're very close. I I really feel that we're closer than we've ever been. I mean, that's objectively true. Um Matthysse Meld, thank you very much. Hi, Chad. Have you shown Mary Lou anything on Roy Conn and how he taught Trump the [ __ ] playbook?
Did we talk we I know we talked about him a long time ago though. Easy to see his next steps once you know them and kills his in quotes authenticity. We talked about con I want to say it was during Biden still. It might have been when this was an audio only podcast still. Um, but Trump was, you know, obviously going to run again. And I I can remember us having a conversation about him and how he is like kind of instrumental in in the functionality of Trump's political rise.
So, yes, the answer is yes. I believe we did, but I don't think it's on any video. I think if you want to check that out, you got to go back. And I I am so sorry. There's absolutely no way I can tell you what episode that is in. I have no [ __ ] idea. But I'm I do remember us talking about him. Um, Hyde and Zeke. Okay, man. I was really uh I was like, "Hi, Dean Deck." But it's Hide and Zeke. Consider reading a public platform. Consider reading a public platform for someone like say O AOC and ask if Mary Lou supports item by item
and never say whose platform it is. We've done things like this before where I I would read just kind of like general uh political stances or whatever and it would not be of Trump, but she would agree with them. We've done some stuff like that, but I also don't like tricking her. Exactly. I think that's like counterproductive to what we're trying to do. Um I don't think you're ever going to like trick somebody into not being MAGA. If they are like, "Well, you read that cuz you thought that I'd say that I liked it and then you told me it's AOC. [ __ ] you." It just makes him
pissed off. Um, Ronwin Grace 3729. Also good to remind her that what is that? A peach or something? Also good to remind her that a peach will be eligible for prosecution when he's not in control. Oh, I see. It's an orange. I think like like the orange one. I get it now. Sorry. Also good to reminder that uh Trump basically will be eligible for prosecution when he's not in control of DOJ. He's not joking. He's floating.
Just got to run the clock. Yes. Look, I think this this is my two cents here as is everything basically on this um podcast. The I think he knows he's dying. I think they are barely keeping him alive with crazy experimental drugs. And I think he is going to definitely run again if he's able. If not, I think he's just going to be like, "Pull the plug, no more drugs, and just die." I think that's literally what's going to happen. But yeah, he's going to be eligible for prosecution when he's not in control of DOJ. But like the think of how much work the incoming
Democratic president is going to have to do. You have to basically replace everybody in every agency, DOJ included. You have to rebuild the FBI, the CIA, DHS, NSA. I I like I think we're [ __ ] for a long time. The damage that Trump and and his entire team has done to just like the kind of core of all of these systems and uh you know, administrative kind of groupings of people, all these different agencies. I just don't I don't know. I think we're [ __ ] for a long time. I don't think one like Democratic president coming in and trying to reverse all the damage he's done is
going to be able to actually do that. Not in one um administration. Maybe at the end of like an eight-year run, maybe we'll get back to some kind of normaly with this. And then by then, is [clears throat] Trump even still alive? What? And how focused will an incoming DOJ be on, you know, indicting or prosecuting or charging anybody in the Trump administration? Because are you going to keep your entire administration focused on doing that? Or are you going to be dealing with like Iran and whatever else uh is popping up in the world that you need to? I don't know. I Whoever's coming in after Trump
is like got their work cut out for him. Nile Joyo I think that's right 67 67 jewels. Thank you very much. Um Shady Plants and another thing would love some the necessary conversation merch to wrap especially a whoopy panoo t-shirt. I know it's just about time and all that [ __ ] We got to get on that. I'm very bad at this. I produce the show. I cut the clips. I put everything out and that's about all I got time for. But I agree. Well, when I come back from um my gallivanting, I'll try to put some renewed energies into some of this other
stuff. Natalie Peterson 4181. Thoughts on the ultimatum? Subtle proTrump comment from the guys saying Biden killed the chickens, so eggs are expensive. Thoughts on the ultimatum? Subtle proTrump comment from the guy saying, "Biden killed the chickens, so eggs are expensive." [clears throat] I assume you're talking about the ultimatum. a reality show. I have not seen this season, so I don't know what you're talking about. My apologies, but a lot of reality shows are currently proTrump. The most recent season of Love is Blind of Dating shows. I mean, most recent season of Love is Blind had a massive uh proTrump conversation in the document. They had no uh conversations
to the contrary in the document, even though they occurred. We we learned on podcast they cut them out, so it was only proTrump propaganda. We've got uh Survivor has Zack Brown band on super proTrump. Obviously Mark Bernett who created Survivor also created The Apprentice. He's very proTrump. Um even Love Island. You had uh Kenzie this year on Love Island has a picture of her from when she was younger standing in front of two Trump banners. I think most reality TV at this point is proTrump.
Wonders of Wondersful. Vance's favorite commander is Crick. Makes so much sense. Oh, this is a uh a uh Magic the Gathering reference. Sorry, my brain is mushed at this point. Dan C8388. Chad, I'm getting tired of you saying Trump is a bad businessman. I'm eating Trump steak while drinking Trump water and wearing my Trump shoes. I'll be heading to Trump casino tomorrow. Also, love the show without Bob. Thank you very much. Um, h how are you doing these things? How are you eating the Trump steak? Didn't that go under? And these must have been in your refrigerator for a while. While drinking Trump water, I think that went
under. Wearing Trump shoes. You could get the shoes still on eBay. And heading to Trump Casino. That still does exist in Vegas. Um, also love the show without Bob. Thank you very much and enjoy your Trump steak. She wants spinach. I met this week. had new bad news from our monarchs. Did it? He How can it be worse than they're no longer a protected species? He's like offering bounties on monarchs. I'll give you $1,000 for every dead monarch body.
Side of the ham. You should give Mary Lou some homework to do while you're away. She has some homework to do. It is called my dad. I don't um I don't want to add to her plate. Peskycat 42. Chad, please apologize to Mary Lou. Olive Garden do have an unlimited unlimited pasta pass. When you order, you have to show the pass and photo ID as the pass is not transferable. But you ridiculed Marylu. I didn't know that. My apologies. I've never um purchased the unlimited pasta pass there, but I do eat at Olive Garden about once a year usually on my birthday. Um I get their
salad because I love their salad dressing. To tune cap 10, thank you very much. Invis 25. Fun fact, monarch butterflies is a symbol for dacas. Is that true? I didn't even know that. Interesting. Two ices, one palm yc. Thank you for deciding to gallant after my baby came two weeks ago. That's that was the thing that made me decide to wait. The pod slives uh helped us through a scary high-risisk pregnancy. Oh [ __ ] Sorry. I'm glad you came through it. Okay. They brought a lot of comfort when we really needed it most. So, thank you. Yeah, my pleasure.
obviously and I'm glad that everything's okay. Congrats on uh the new baby. Tribinicity, that's for those who don't know, Tribicity just won Love Island USA season 8. I just watched a reel of Caleb. This is a Love Island um thing. I just watched a real of Caleb in a video with our Lord and Savior Robert Roush. Yes, I don't know if Caleb deserves to be in his presence. Just kidding. Kind of. We covered that on um Twibbon this week, I believe. If you haven't watched it, TW this week in Bachelor Nation is the Friday show that I do on my other podcast. Check that out if you like
reality TV. Captain Goku 2280. Would you consider Would you considered the guys who marched through DC last month as neo-Nazis or a new version of the KKK? It's all the same to me. It's like a a white hate group that has some kind of political overtone. Isn't that both of those things? It's all the same to me, it's all the same. Any kind of white, you know, Christian nationalist, whatever, racist, Christian nationalist, it's all the same. Um, Shell Spalding, thank you very much. Davis Angel one, did you happen to see Senator Oaf and Hegsth during the Senate appropriations hearing? Epic. It would be great for
Mary Lou because of the administration's lies. Did I see that? No, I don't believe I did see that one. I saw Oaf grilling that dude about the 2020 election where he was like, "Can you just tell me who won the 2020 election and the guy was like,"Well, I can tell you Joe Biden was sworn in." And he's like, "Jesus, you can't even answer this [ __ ] question." I didn't see the Hexath one though this week. I'll have to check that out. Kixies, France just tweeted today, "USA no longer a beacon of human rights. It stands alongside North Korea, Russia, Nicaragua, Mali."
Jesus. What do you mean when you say France tweeted it? I gotta Google. Let me Google. Let me just Google this quickly. Um, France tweets. What was it? USA no longer beacon of human rights. Let's see what this says here. Uh, France, United States. France's post. Is it here? Wow. This is pretty crazy. Wow. I didn't see that. That's pretty nuts. I mean, this is what I was telling my mom. We're losing all of our allies. And the closer that we are like aligning ourselves to Netanyahu, I think the further we're getting from anybody in the EU or any of our long-standing allies that have been
around since World War II, I think we are [ __ ] up. MAD 62092. What is Scobbyy's adoption story? Um, Scobbyby was born on a farm. I don't know if he was born on a farm. He was born in France um in Normandy and my girlfriend adopted him from this family. He lived there for many years with her. Then when they moved here, he came here.
And then when they moved in here, he moved in here. So, now he's my little French boy. Where is he? Scotty. I don't know where he is. He's crawling around somewhere. Probably waiting to drink my blood soon. Um, Amanda Adler, 1860. Hey Chad, next time Maryl deflects with it'll never happen. Can we ask her if someone was trying to kill her or her family? Would she feel the same?
Wait, what now? Hey Chad, next time Maryl deflects with it'll never happen. So, this is in reference to like uh Trump running for president again, for example, right? That's usually what she's saying. Or uh if he's trying to pass some bill or like or get the elections overturned or invalidated and she's like, "It'll never happen." Okay, so that's what we're referencing. Can we ask her if someone was trying to kill her or her family, would she feel the same?
I guess we can. I'm I'm not sure I understand the um comparison. I'm not sure I understand this one. Amanda Adler, my my apologies. Tune cap 10. Maryl likes gentle persuasion. Kid gloves. Have you talked about easing the approach with your sister to avoid he's an [ __ ] remarks that make Marylu defensive? No. I don't pregame with my sister or anything. I don't want to. She brings what she brings. she could do her thing and whatever she says she says. I don't want to try to like, you know, inhibit how she feels or how she's thinking about anything.
We're getting there. What we're doing is working. We're getting there. Um, Shelley Spalding, maybe 888. Congressional approval is result of Vietnam War. There you go. I should have said that today. I didn't even know that. Peter B. Q9T. Have you or Haley ever missed a press election? Oh, presidential election. I don't think so. Not since I started voting, I don't think. I don't think so. I don't know about my sister. I would doubt it, though. I don't think I ever have. Not that I can remember. Jennonic, I loathe the Chronicles of Thomas Covenant. What?
I haven't read it in a long time. Maybe it's just nostalgia. I read it when I was like in junior high or something. Um, maybe it sucks. Better than 98. Yo, Chad Quickfire Rex, Sugar, Obituary, and Joe Picket. Okay. Hope Haley stays safe and you're able to enjoy being the gallivantee this time. Thank you very much. I don't know what Sugar Obituary and Joe Pika are, but thanks for the quickfire Rex nonetheless. Um, are these books or these albums? Are these restaurants?
Shady Plants, is there a way to read the next few episodes of Southern Comfort after watching your family here? I find it hilarious and crave more. Uh, no, they were never written. I wrote that first episode. They brought in these dudes to rewrite it and turn it into a horrible pile of [ __ ] They made that pile of [ __ ] and then they threw it in the trash can. That's what happens almost every time with everything in Hollywood. Um, and so there were no more episodes ever written. Once it's thrown in the trash, you can't like it's dead for all time. ABC still owns it. So if
they ever wanted to make a show or have more episodes or whatever, that's their call. I no longer own it. It is not my episodes to write. So no, they don't exist. Abby can cook. Do you think Mary Lou makes up scenarios? example, Trump was an Epstein informant that aren't reality because it's easier to be delusional than to admit he's a piece of [ __ ] Yes, that's the entire MAGA base does this. It's very clear to anybody who looks at something objectively and has even a [ __ ] small amount of logical reasoning that Donald Trump is lying, cheating, stealing, committing crimes, piece of [ __ ] sexual assaults,
all this. It's obvious, right? But if you voted for him and you have aligned yourself with that team, you are MAGA. You have to have some plausible way to deny the overtly heinous [ __ ] he's doing. Involvement in the Epstein files, stealing of the money, starting wars that are not being [ __ ] confirmed by Congress, etc., etc. And so to do that, you just whatever he says, basically that's your how you refute it. So, um, you know, the the Yeah. Trump was an Epstein informant, right? I don't know if Trump made that up, but it was in MAGA. So, it's like the overwhelming
objective evidence is Trump is mentioned more times than anybody else in the Epstein files. How do you get around that? Oh, well, it's because he was an informant. It doesn't matter how true that that thing is or even seems, as long as you have it, you can say it and move on. And it allows the magind to just disconnect from the reality that is Trump very clearly was friends with Ebstein and very clearly was engaged in some real bad [ __ ] with him. But yes, that's exactly why they do it. It's it's much easier to just spit out something, no matter how delusional, than it is to
look at the actual facts because the facts contradict the idea that Trump is good in any way, a good politician, a good businessman, a good person. The Robert Meyers Plus. Chad got Garfield MTG. Chad got Garfield MTG. Oh yeah, I did. I bought a secret layer. I can't believe I have to explain this on this podcast. So, Magic the Gathering has these products called Secret Layers. You can buy like the main sets come out and you can buy those in your card shops and and wherever Target [ __ ] sells them at this point. But then they put out these other products called secret layers, which are
usually like a smaller amount of cards. They have special art treatments and they're very usually reprints of big cards that you use in decks all the time. And I'm hopelessly addicted to this game. And I hate Garfield, the the cartoon character. And uh they made a Garfield secret layer and I [ __ ] bought it because I'm that addicted. And now the question is, what if MAGA set Well, I don't know about that dude. If they made a MAGA set, [snorts] [sighs] I don't think they would. I don't think they would ever make even a politics set, but if they were going to, I bet
they would make a politics secret layer where it would have everybody in it, not just MAGA. I don't think I don't think Wizards of the Coast would publicly align themselves with MAGA in that way. If they made a mega set, would I buy it? [ __ ] I may quit playing Magic. That may be that may be a tough sell. I don't know. Courtney M3940.
How does one get more info on reality TV consult? My BFF has a dream of being casted but hasn't gotten past an audition tape. Love the pod. Well, I coach people to go into reality TV. What I would need is a DM sent to Bachelor Clues on Instagram and that person's Instagram has to be public so that I can look at it and see if I can help them.
If I don't think I can, I will not reply back to them. And that is what is usually the case. Um, but yeah, it depends on what show they want to go on and stuff too. Marcy won Bob come back. Chad and Haley brainwashed Mary Lou into saying [ __ ] ICE. A few more episodes and it'll be [ __ ] Trump. [ __ ] our United States. By Christmas it will be [ __ ] my husband Bob. Your marriage is in jeopardy. [laughter] A fight for Mary.
[laughter] Maybe. We don't know. We'll see how far we can get her. Um Lily Shepard 1357. Have you ever watched Ina? God. Have I? Hang on. Hang on. I'm looking it up. No, I never have. A millennial classic. Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Riko Takahashi. Serialized in blah blah blah blah blah 56 volumes. I haven't watched it. I haven't watched it. Right now I'm watching um Black Torch, which I'm enjoying very much.
Um we got Shady Plants. TDS should be used to identify MAGA. Am I right? What's TDS? Hang on. Total dissolved solids in water. What is TDS? Oh, Trump derangement syndrome. Um, I went on a [ __ ] podcast a minute ago with this woman who was like trying to get Trump derangement syndrome in to be like uh accepted in kind of like clinical psychology and uh she was a Trump supporter and that is basically what I said. I'm like couldn't Trump derangement syndrome be used the other way for somebody who thinks like he doesn't do any wrong ever? Isn't that just as deranged as what you're
claiming? She didn't like it. Taylor Powellson, the vocal stem of our household lately is making chocolate. Of course, that's one that I use on my other reality TV show podcast with my friend. She really likes Timothy Shalomé. I'm like whatever about him. I don't think he should be Paul Trades. I think there's a million other better versions of Paul Trades other than him. But um I always try to trap her into uh asking me what I'm doing and then I reply mic and chocolate of course because that's what Timothy Shalomé did in Wonka.
So I'm glad that you have that as your uh your vocal stem. Enjoy. Amanda Ortega43 happy poop. Thank you very much Mary Lou. If you are leaving us, then please don't leave Magg until after Christmas. It will ruin my holidays. Make your official announcement on January 1st. [laughter] Okay. I don't know. I guess that's the ticking clock. We'll have to see when is her timeline for when she's going to officially denounce Trump. Uh we got three or no, two more.
One more. One more question. I guess there's and some jewels and a super sticker. So, our final question is from Yak Season. Yak season. I think that's right. Marylu changing her opinion on healthcare only after it affected her always rubs me the wrong way. Me, too. Why can't her or MAGA care about other struggles without having to experience them firsthand? This is, in my opinion, this is the crux of the whole MAGA movement. It is about the individual and [ __ ] everybody else. And it's coded in all of the [ __ ] language for MAGA.
America first. Well, what does that mean? Everybody else second or third, fourth, fifth, sixth, whatever. It literally means you're number one. And so that gets conveyed into the mind of MAGA and granulated down to not just our country, but you as a person. And then that gets uh pushed out to like, you know, we've got so many immigrants coming across this border, illegal aliens, you know, or as my mom says, illegals. And it's like that's again that's you versus this other person whether it's um Somali immigrants whether it's people coming up from the southern border whoever it may be now it's Iran you know there trans people
there's always this idea of the other and so it's a worldview that is only about your personal experience is all that matters and as long as that is being improved by Trump by the administration then you're good And uh right now what I think a lot of MAGA are experiencing is that that's not the case. Your even your personal experience like you're seeing ICE just [ __ ] beating up people, killing people that don't look like you. But now when for my parents specifically, you're going to like the hospital and you're using your good health insurance and you're still getting [ __ ] over. Well, where was
that promise from MAGA? Where was that promise from Trump that like my experience is what matters? [ __ ] everybody else. But what about me? Um, and I I don't know why that is the case. I think there are just like this is my kind of philosophical breakdown of it. I think everybody on the planet, every human being exists somewhere on a spectrum of 100% cooperative to 100% competitive. 100% cooperative means, and nobody is either of those things. You're somewhere in the spectrum. Most people falling in the middle obviously, but closer to 100% cooperative means you will literally sacrifice your own personal well-being to help other
people. And there are some people who do that on a a much bigger scale than others. Obviously, 100% um competitive means you will forsake all other people for your own personal gain. And even when you see somebody like Trump, who I would say is very close to like 100% competitive, still he does things to make sure that his family is also benefiting. So it's not like he's not 100%. There are people in his life that he's helping even through his his uh shitty means, you know. And so I think MAGA is just like it's the people who have a kind of confluence of um they're
they're bad with media literacy, some mixture of this. Bad with media literacy, hyperco competitive, and being competitive also means selfish, greedy, all those things. More for me, less for you, zero some game. Um, and to some degree like that competition also sneaks into like xenophobia and all that other kind of [ __ ] Anything really at its core that is about like perpetuating either your ideals, your beliefs, whatever you are identity-wise over anyone else that is simply being competitive and it manifests in these different ways ideologically that you know uh we can pass like moralistic judgment on. I think for the most part
MAGA is like some version of not good with media literacy and competitive and even within MAGA I think there you vacasillate on that sliding scale too. There are some people like my mom I don't think is hyper competitive. I think she's just very bad with media literacy. So that is kind of the how she got sucked into it you know but my dad hyper competitive and bad at media literacy. He's got both. he's like, [laughter] you know, the on the bad end of those spectrums on both those things. But yeah, I think really that's it. I think that's why MAGA can't care about other
people. It's because they're hyper competitive. Um, and I think personally competition, any kind of competition that isn't like expressly proxy competition, meaning pro sports or or whatever, you know, some kind of like who cares who wins the [ __ ] World Cup that doesn't actually have any impact on anything or the World Series or whatever. It's fun to watch. It's a it's a fun pastime. It's entertainment, you know, it's basically like people putting on a little play for us. Um, proxy competition, fine. Real world competition where you're talking about resources and people's lives. I just don't think we need it. I I think
we are as a species far beyond um evolved out of needing to do that. Anyway, that's my two cents. Uh, thank you very much everybody for joining me. We also have great oh sorry goat trophy from Liam Gonzalez 166. Thank you very much. And we got a super sticker from Christine Palmer. Thank you very much. And we got a thumbs up from Arizona Mountain Girl. Thank you very much.
Thank you everybody for joining me for this live. Um we are going to suspend the lives for two weeks. I think that's right. Yeah, two weeks I'll be gone gallivanting. Um, but I will be probably making a couple of posts. I'll still be posting clips and stuff. So, there will still be some social media coming out. And we are going to try to do an episode next Sunday, but I think where I'm going to be, it's going to be like midnight.
So, I don't know if that's going to I don't know if that's going to actually happen or not. I'm going to do my best. It could be two weeks with nothing, but at the very least, some social media and shorts and stuff will be pumped out. So, once again, thank you everybody for joining me. Have a good rest of your night, and we will see you soon.
