00:02:08 Andrew
I was just.
00:02:10 Brandon
You know who died? Sorry, girl. Yeah, yeah.
00:02:10 Andrew
Yes, I watched the CNN coverage. I watched the CNN coverage and obviously Anderson Cooper was was part of. Although most of what I watched.
00:02:18 Andrew
Like Jake Tapper.
00:02:19 Andrew
But anyway, I've listened to love line today from 2001 January and the guest was Anderson Cooper.
00:02:28 Brandon
Oh, interesting.
00:02:29 Andrew
He was the host of that show, the mole. Do you remember the the mole?
00:02:33 Brandon
No, I remember Anderson Cooper 360.
00:02:36 Andrew
I think in early 2000 show it was after he.
00:02:39 Andrew
Was like a A wartime correspondent.
00:02:40 Brandon
I I do. I do actually remember them all. It's like it was like a Fox Reality TV show.
00:02:43 Andrew
OK.
00:02:45 Andrew
Yeah. So he was on there promoting that and it was, it was a good. It was a good episode, actually.
00:02:51 Andrew
Oh.
00:02:52 Andrew
They never reminded me that someone had. Was it? You had told me about the person who's talking was named Anderson Pooper.
00:02:58 Brandon
I thought.
00:03:00 Brandon
No, I thought you told me that.
00:03:02 Andrew
That's a hilarious name for a dog.
00:03:06 Andrew
Ripped to the Max Anderson Cooper who has eaten by Haitian immigrants, according to Donald Trump.
00:03:15 Andrew
Yeah, that's not me talking. I'm quoting somebody else.
00:03:15 Brandon
Actual.
00:03:20 Brandon
Anderson Cooper.
00:03:23 Andrew
For me.
00:03:23 Brandon
Uh, actually working next this week. Elwood L word sorry Elwood Edwards Ells you got rewards.
00:03:30 Andrew
L word.
00:03:33 Brandon
It's Elwood Edwards.
00:03:36 Brandon
Yeah, he's, he's noted for being the voice of AOL. You've got mail, which is still my e-mail ringtone to this day, also ripped to the Max. One of our Instagram followers.
00:03:51 Brandon
We're not going to cause a flame more here, but just you sent us a nice comment after I posted our our fun.
00:04:00 Brandon
Our fun YouTube cover for last week.
00:04:05 Andrew
You know, it was Donald Trump dressed.
00:04:07 Andrew
Up as a traffic count.
00:04:08 Brandon
Yes, I took that image and put Palpatine's head on it because we did another round of Trump or Palpatine, something he did.
00:04:15 Brandon
Four years ago.
00:04:18 Brandon
Last week, and I gotta I gotta read the comments. His bio his.
00:04:24 Andrew
Do it mainly 90s reads mean tweets.
00:04:28 Brandon
Yeah, sorry not the docs you bro, but your bio says God and family. Louisiana raised Texas living work hard play.
00:04:35 Brandon
Order with a wrench emoji, a motorcycle emoji, a snowboarding emoji, a roller coaster emoji, a bicycle emoji, a speedboat emoji, and an umbrella emoji. That's the only way that you will find this person if you actually care. I I want to thank you for following us for however long you have, because it has been about.
00:04:56 Brandon
They've been about at least six months, but he unfollowed us, I think, but shout out to you man, because.
00:05:05 Brandon
Clearly you didn't listen to an episode of the podcast, but you supported us on Instagram and I appreciated that. And he said well.
00:05:15 Brandon
Asterisk -1 period.
00:05:19 Andrew
Lost another good.
00:05:19 Brandon
90S Podcast you couldn't just keep it 90s had to go all over. He didn't put the apostrophe for 90s, so again points to this man. He is educated. TDs is a real thing. I literally said that right before I said this. Sorry. TDs is a real thing.
00:05:36 Brandon
Sad.
00:05:37 Brandon
Tedious, which is not an acronym for The Daily Show, apparently.
00:05:41 Andrew
Another another 90s podcast loss. This is common.
00:05:45 Brandon
Yeah, I think, I mean I'm, I'm assuming he found like our friends over at uh snack babes and then.
00:05:53 Brandon
Followed them for.
00:05:54 Andrew
No, they're.
00:05:54 Brandon
At least three years before. Yeah, before.
00:05:55
No.
00:05:56 Andrew
This escapade people are Maga Republicans, obviously.
00:05:58 Brandon
Yeah. Clearly, clearly, clearly.
00:06:02 Brandon
They go much harder than us.
00:06:04 Andrew
So we had to look up. I had to look up.
00:06:06 Andrew
TDs because I didn't.
00:06:08 Brandon
I had heard it before, I just didn't know where it was and.
00:06:09 Andrew
It's like a it's like a Internet, a fiber Internet company in Spokane, North, Idaho.
00:06:14 Brandon
No, it's the dalish. It's the Daily Show's new acronym. If you didn't know it's been for since John Stewart came back, and he since the end of the normal era, probably.
00:06:21 Andrew
Interesting that been intentional. So for those of you who don't know, it's the.
00:06:25 Andrew
Ultimate gas lighting.
00:06:26 Andrew
Term, but they got to credit the the Conservatives and especially the MAGA Republicans, for being probably the world's best gaslighters just just.
00:06:33 Brandon
Absolutely.
00:06:36 Andrew
Basically, TDs refers to Trump Derangement Syndrome, which refers to people like us basically, who abhor the individual. And we basically perceived as like overreacting. And it's basically like your deranged the ultimate gas lighting is like the people who would actually support that *******.
00:06:44 Brandon
Hi.
00:06:51 Brandon
You know by.
00:06:52 Brandon
End of the.
00:06:56 Andrew
Are the actual deranged ones.
00:06:59 Brandon
Yeah. By the end of this Presidency, we will be locked up. I I would say 53% famous.
00:07:05 Andrew
Yeah, it depends on how how far back they go with the immigration. Like. Yeah. Yeah, you're pretty close. Just.
00:07:11 Brandon
I am I am technically technically on my mom's side.
00:07:15 Brandon
Even though American citizen. Yeah. So second, I think second cause, now I want to say.
00:07:16 Andrew
Second, OK.
00:07:18 Brandon
1st.
00:07:25 Brandon
Military base. I don't actually know.
00:07:28 Brandon
UM.
00:07:29 Brandon
So at least first or second Gen. 1 slide.
00:07:32 Andrew
So you'll be deported.
00:07:34
Yes.
00:07:36 Andrew
But like the fact.
00:07:36 Brandon
Also be placed in the internment camps.
00:07:38 Andrew
Let's talk about gas lighting. Like when the uh, the COVID restrictions came.
00:07:42 Andrew
Out and like.
00:07:42 Brandon
Should really should we first say this is not going to be a normal episode? This is just going to be us young into the void. So if you're here for 90 content, wait a week, we'll be back, but yeah.
00:07:46 Andrew
No, no.
00:07:49 Andrew
It's like.
00:07:54 Andrew
During during the COVID lockdown, there was.
00:07:57 Andrew
Like.
00:07:57 Andrew
Stocky women who were mad they couldn't get a mullet at the salon and then they were like marching around outside with my body, my choice talking about gas light.
00:08:00
Hmm.
00:08:07 Andrew
OK.
00:08:08 Brandon
Yeah. And then immediately repealed Roe V Wade. I also shout out to our friend wisecracking blank castina, who liked my reply, which I I feel like I was. I was very I was. I was, I was junior. Thanks for your support up Tony now.
00:08:23 Andrew
Yeah, let's hear it.
00:08:28 Brandon
Clearly you haven't listened to many episodes because our third episode was in support of BLM and we've never hidden that. We're liberals from the Seattle area originally.
00:08:36 Brandon
We did talk about the 1996 elections in this episode, which yeah, the most I I think the most 90s thing you're going to get from us this today is you've got male voice and also I don't play the Pokémon trading card game Pocket mobile game kind of slaps.
00:08:48 Andrew
Yeah.
00:08:54 Andrew
I'm just going to let everyone.
00:08:55 Andrew
Know just in case there was.
00:08:57 Andrew
Any lack of clarity.
00:09:01 Andrew
We both voted for Kamala Harris and I would not change that for anything.
00:09:05 Brandon
Absolutely not.
00:09:07 Andrew
I don't think.
00:09:07 Andrew
I mean, it's not a secret to you anyway that like I would say, I don't disagree with certain conservative like thought processes on certain things, right, you know.
00:09:19 Andrew
More so.
00:09:20 Brandon
Than me. But yeah, like I, I mean I I.
00:09:22 Andrew
The government, you know?
00:09:23 Brandon
Would like to be fiscally conservative, but.
00:09:25 Andrew
Yeah, that's where I'm at like.
00:09:27 Andrew
You know there, there is a lot of inefficiency. There's things we could fix and most people would like.
00:09:30
Oh, sure.
00:09:33 Brandon
You're anti union.
00:09:33 Andrew
I I believe.
00:09:33 Andrew
It's true. Well, let's go back to that. Most people would agree, and then most people do agree. Like when you look at the surveys.
00:09:36 Brandon
Kiddo.
00:09:42 Andrew
And things like that, we shouldn't.
00:09:47 Andrew
Systematically allow illegal immigration like people are generally against that. I would say I'm one of those people, but I'm not necessarily just the thought of the infrastructure, the money to deport 11 million people. I was watching CNN right before this and it comes out because it costs about $11,000 to detain someone.
00:10:07 Andrew
And deport them times 11,000,000 is roughly $345 billion.
00:10:08 Brandon
MHM.
00:10:14 Brandon
Wow.
00:10:16 Andrew
Which is insane.
00:10:17 Brandon
That's yes.
00:10:19 Brandon
Plus the fact that they're most likely running the infrastructure of this country, not running, they are the building blocks of people like they we wouldn't have food, we wouldn't have. We have food, we would have commodities, we wouldn't have anything, we wouldn't have fast food, we wouldn't have any job that no one wants.
00:10:28 Andrew
Yeah, I mean, indeed.
00:10:38 Andrew
But then some some Republican mouthpieces on CNN, because they started adding, you know, counter points, which is good I guess. But the guy basically without saying, he basically said they took our job like it makes it, it'll make it less competitive for American workers, it's like.
00:10:58 Andrew
I don't, I don't.
00:10:59 Andrew
Know I mean maybe but.
00:11:02 Andrew
Craziness, but yeah, in any case like.
00:11:02 Brandon
Yeah, yeah.
00:11:07 Andrew
You know, I would probably vote for a very moderate Republican.
00:11:11 Andrew
If we had a very like, very, very ultra left wing, you know, Democratic candidate, potentially if they abandoned some of the rhetoric, you know, but.
00:11:11 Andrew
No.
00:11:18 Brandon
I I I yeah, I I would vote for a socially liberal Republican.
00:11:28 Andrew
What you so you mean like an actual question, not an evangelical American Christian?
00:11:31 Brandon
Yeah, exactly. You know, oddly enough.
00:11:37 Andrew
Like.
00:11:37 Andrew
Yeah, interesting. Interesting.
00:11:38 Brandon
Like like Romney really hit spots I wouldn't back then I didn't vote for Romney, but like.
00:11:45 Andrew
Mitt Romney is starting to look.
00:11:46 Andrew
Pretty good.
00:11:47 Brandon
Yeah, we talked about by the way everyone, you know, if you think like us and and feel like some sort of despair after the election that this is, Colbert said it best. He was glad to have a show after the day after the election.
00:12:04 Brandon
Was it?
00:12:07 Brandon
Was a way of showing support for the other half of the country. That feels terrified right now by all of the rhetoric that are 47th President has been Spearing over the last four years.
00:12:21 Brandon
But yeah, just like I've always said that if you look at the conservativism of of like Bill O'Reilly, his mouth piercing back back 20 years ago was.
00:12:33 Brandon
Is is considerably moderate compared to. Yeah, like I know he's he's still kind of.
00:12:37 Andrew
It's quaint even you could say.
00:12:45 Brandon
Mouthpiece now. But because I saw him, he he didn't interview with Jon Stewart when Jon Stewart came back to The Daily Show. And like, you know, he's still Bill O'Reilly. But like, you can tell like, he's like, things, things have gone out, gotten out of hand.
00:13:05 Andrew
Well, do it live.
00:13:07 Brandon
Do it live, I said that the other.
00:13:07 Andrew
A lot.
00:13:08 Brandon
Day no one got what I was saying.
00:13:11
And.
00:13:12 Brandon
Yeah.
00:13:13 Andrew
Does it and then like doesn't do you believe that Tucker Carlson now looks like a a bloated corpse?
00:13:19 Brandon
Yes, that laughs like gas is escaping from his mouth hole. Like did you? Did you? Did you see him at the Madison Square Garden rally? Like he lost like?
00:13:19 Andrew
Like what's happening?
00:13:39 Brandon
Which? Yeah.
00:13:44 Andrew
I mean, I look like a.
00:13:45 Andrew
Bloated corpse too, to.
00:13:46 Andrew
Be fair, like too much salt today? No, but Oh my gosh. So I was. My point is like, I voted for the adult.
00:13:56 Andrew
In the room.
00:13:57 Andrew
You know.
00:13:57 Andrew
And and I would consider myself a Democrat. Just generally speaking, like I agree more with their their stuff. But in this case.
00:14:05 Andrew
It was very much like a vote against Trump.
00:14:10 Andrew
But also for the adult in the room. That's kind of how I viewed.
00:14:14 Andrew
It This time.
00:14:16 Andrew
Although in my state the presidential vote doesn't really matter too much.
00:14:20 Brandon
The same and like congratulations, people over the third party, this time in blue states.
00:14:27 Brandon
It's still it. I will get it.
00:14:30 Brandon
You write doesn't.
00:14:30 Brandon
Matter because you know that we would.
00:14:33 Brandon
Take out 40, but still.
00:14:34 Andrew
I've been wearing nothing worse than those.
00:14:36 Andrew
People that say I don't like either one, it's like, well, you got to choose cause even if you don't choose, guess what you're choosing.
00:14:41 Brandon
Kaiser.
00:14:45 Brandon
You have, yeah.
00:14:47 Brandon
We just, I mean that's my same take on like religion. Even if you're an atheist, that's still faith in something man like, yeah.
00:14:57 Brandon
It takes all kinds.
00:15:00 Brandon
But.
00:15:01
It's all good.
00:15:01 Andrew
OK.
00:15:03 Andrew
Gavin Corolla, Speaking of Speaking of Adam Corolla. The the No, just the.
00:15:04 Brandon
That's where I got that statement from.
00:15:08 Brandon
No, no.
00:15:10 Brandon
Did he back Trump too?
00:15:11 Andrew
No, I was just gonna go about the Dana White thing. It just reminded me. So Trump is giving this, those of you didn't watch, he's giving this basically like victory speech, which, you know it.
00:15:23 Andrew
To his to.
00:15:23 Andrew
His crowd at it like you didn't win.
00:15:26 Andrew
And you just started having.
00:15:27 Andrew
People come up and taking the.
00:15:28 Andrew
Mic.
00:15:29 Andrew
And do you?
00:15:30 Andrew
Know why? Who I guess is like the UFC.
00:15:32 Andrew
Creator or like Guy who's have commercialized it.
00:15:34 Brandon
Or three something chief or.
00:15:36 Brandon
Yeah.
00:15:37 Andrew
Yeah, it comes up. There's a whole bit. And he said something like was it like, ohh. And God bless the mighty and powerful Joe Rogan. Yeah. And then Donald Trump came up, started talking about ******* spaceships and making the spaceship and gestures. I kid, you know, I was. I was crying.
00:15:42 Brandon
Thank you, Joe.
00:15:57 Andrew
Laughing, watching not cry like none of the sad cry I was laughing so hard. I began crying.
00:16:06 Brandon
Can you be frozen so this person can wait for me? I.
00:16:09 Brandon
Look out the.
00:16:09 Brandon
Window and I see I see. I see. I see. I see this beautiful thing falling from the sky. It's just falling in the sky. Put on this for a TMI. Another man wanna cry? Put tears in their eyes. I put my tears in their eyes and I go.
00:16:24 Brandon
I go over to the phone and.
00:16:25 Brandon
I call up you on.
00:16:26 Brandon
I'm like on is that you?
00:16:28 Brandon
And he says he already says. He says, yeah, that's me now. That's me. That's me.
00:16:34 Andrew
Beautiful spaceships. Beautiful spaceships.
00:16:38 Andrew
What are you talking about?
00:16:38 Andrew
I just, if nothing else. I mean, I'm seriously, but if nothing else, at least you can look forward to just completely.
00:16:41 Brandon
That's.
00:16:48 Andrew
Off the wall tangents during speeches that just make no earthly sense.
00:16:54 Brandon
Because you and I have the privilege of being at least 50% white men.
00:16:59 Andrew
Yeah, being a.
00:17:00 Andrew
White man living in Western Washington. I feel pretty safe over here.
00:17:04 Brandon
Yeah, I believe I still live in the lowest crime rate city of California, so.
00:17:10 Andrew
Well, it's because it's a.
00:17:11 Andrew
Red part of California.
00:17:13 Brandon
It's blue because it's a college town. Everything. Everything outside of the city is red.
00:17:18 Andrew
Yeah.
00:17:21 Andrew
But I think the problem was like so a lot of America voted on the issues. So big issue issue #1 is the economy, right?
00:17:23 Brandon
And gentrify.
00:17:36 Andrew
The problem is.
00:17:40 Andrew
Well, I mean, the economy is like it's not amazing. It's not as bad as it was.
00:17:45 Andrew
I don't think.
00:17:45 Andrew
You can, I think people rush to Reddit or blame the sitting president for the the economy, but frankly, economics is so complicated that that the head of State probably doesn't even make that much of a difference.
00:17:56 Andrew
The previous president?
00:18:00 Andrew
In general, you know what I mean? It's like firing head coach of a football team. Like there's a million reasons the football team is awful. You just sometimes fire the coach to shake it up and see if it kind of like.
00:18:01 Andrew
In general, right? And Trump says.
00:18:13 Andrew
Works some things loose, you know.
00:18:15 Andrew
But like the first two years, you're counting off the previous president, which was obamas's economy, which was on the upswing going into Trump.
00:18:15 Andrew
I think that's what.
00:18:21 Andrew
Yeah, I know. I'm just. I'm just making the point that, like, I think this is where America was coming from and.
00:18:27 Andrew
They, they felt.
00:18:28 Andrew
The yeah, they felt the economy was the number one issue and they voted on that issue.
00:18:28 Andrew
Short tiredness.
00:18:35 Andrew
I don't think you.
00:18:37 Andrew
Can stand up and say illegal immigration is the number 2.
00:18:42 Andrew
Issue facing our country and win an election on the basis of we're going to deport all.
00:18:43 Brandon
No.
00:18:47 Brandon
Of them, which, by the way, do you know who who deported more people during their either presidency or vice presidency?
00:18:56 Andrew
Barack Obama.
00:18:57 Andrew
No.
00:18:57 Brandon
Harris. Yes, Joe Biden, Joe Biden's Joe Biden. Joe Biden's term has deported, I would say. I think like three times the amount of people that Trump did, which I don't know if that's a good thing, but it's something that happened.
00:19:17 Andrew
But do let me go off on unions though. Unions are very much like a leftist.
00:19:22 Andrew
Principle. You're uniting as the people to get the things that you deserve, and of course we've talked about this like, OK, unions with it was to get like fire exits and not be literally padlocked into the building you're working in, made a lot of sense. Now the problem you've got.
00:19:24 Brandon
It was.
00:19:29 Brandon
MHM.
00:19:41 Andrew
Is.
00:19:42 Andrew
You've got maga Republicans. Let's take Boeing, for example. You've got.
00:19:45 Andrew
Workforce it's probably mostly Maga, Republicans tell me I'm wrong, striking for nearly 60 days.
00:19:54 Andrew
To ratify a contract where they get something like 40% pay increase well, building planes whose doors fly off of them. Like let's give, I mean some of the blame goes to the Boeing office, whatever. But like knowing that a lot of the employees are just hopped up on speed and slapping these things together.
00:20:03 Brandon
MHM.
00:20:12 Andrew
As fast as they can.
00:20:14 Andrew
True statement, by the way, they're on.
00:20:16 Andrew
Many of them are on speed.
00:20:19 Andrew
And the fact that.
00:20:20 Andrew
All these people are standing out there.
00:20:23 Andrew
A supporting a union when they're not, when they shouldn't be union people.
00:20:24 Brandon
On screen.
00:20:30 Brandon
Right.
00:20:30 Andrew
Because they their party doesn't really. I mean, the conservatism doesn't really fit with unions and then they're going to, like, take it to big business, right. And then elect someone who's going to cut taxes for big business to theoretically stimulate job growth, stimulate the economy. Well, it just increases the amount of private jets they can buy.
00:20:51 Andrew
You know, I mean it's.
00:20:52 Andrew
All just a bunch of BS.
00:20:53 Brandon
Mm-hmm. And it it's. Uh.
00:20:58 Brandon
It's astonishing to me the the, the take away that all the pundits have is that the Liberals have abandoned the working class and it's like.
00:21:11 Brandon
No, no, they're they're the ones still trying to protect you. It's the, it's and again.
00:21:18 Brandon
This is coming from a West Coast elitist. You're too stupid to realize that.
00:21:26 Brandon
And and that's.
00:21:27 Andrew
Yes.
00:21:27 Brandon
Fair. I get it. I get it. You don't like being condescended to? I want.
00:21:30 Brandon
Being condescended to.
00:21:33 Brandon
You're dumb.
00:21:37 Andrew
No, I don't think that's.
00:21:38 Andrew
Condescending. I think he's just telling the truth.
00:21:40 Brandon
You're biting the hand that feeds and and like it's it's not.
00:21:46 Brandon
I guess it's and the cool way that Trump goes about being anti establishment. It's not cool. You're you're cult. And yes, I have kids. I don't care on The Daily Show but like.
00:22:03 Andrew
I just don't think I think it's such a ****** move to call it Trump Derangement syndrome. But like, here's what I'm deranged about, he said. A high-ranking Republican senator.
00:22:16 Andrew
Liz Cheney should be brought in front of a firing squad. Yeah, I'm not joking. I'm not. It's not hyperbole. He ******* said it. I should be outraged by that. I am outraged by that.
00:22:19 Andrew
MHM.
00:22:26 Brandon
Yep.
00:22:31 Brandon
Yeah.
00:22:31 Andrew
The fact that he eliminated anyone who disagreed with him from his own party and got the support to do that, that's outrageous. I'm sorry. Like, if you believe in that and you believe.
00:22:41 Andrew
Talking about senators being killed by firing squads is appropriate. You have Trump Derangement syndrome and.
00:22:48 Brandon
Indeed, yeah. Full stop and the like.
00:22:54 Brandon
It's telling that none of his previous staff is.
00:22:58 Brandon
Support supported him and like the fact that.
00:23:01 Andrew
Yeah.
00:23:03 Andrew
The fact that.
00:23:04 Brandon
This band is now surrounded by charlatans. He, he he has the same cognitive decline that Joe Biden has. Let's be honest. And so I I get he's really tired and hopped up on speed and all the final weeks of the election because he was doing 4 rallies.
00:23:13 Brandon
True.
00:23:20 Brandon
A day but.
00:23:21 Brandon
Before that, he was.
00:23:23 Brandon
Jacking off goes to the YMCA and turning up the size of Arnold Paul's **** like.
00:23:34
Like.
00:23:35 Brandon
And it's entertaining. I get it. It's entertaining. Give a little podcast, give a little podcast. Give them. Give them a reality TV show again and that will replace The Big Bang theory on CBS and and.
00:23:47 Andrew
Give him a country.
00:23:48 Andrew
Let's just give him a country.
00:23:49 Brandon
So given a small country given like an island giving an island, maybe one that is people referred to as garbage, letting run that for a little while, see how the people there like, enjoy his rhetoric and you know, just just.
00:24:08 Brandon
Put them in the sandbox, put them in the.
00:24:10 Brandon
Sandbox. I'm gonna play but like.
00:24:13 Brandon
Everything that he said during this election cycle is terrifying, including the the firing swamp. Was Cheney the taking back just?
00:24:27 Andrew
The concept of.
00:24:27 Brandon
Taking back America, making America great again.
00:24:32 Brandon
It it feels like we're we are. We are at the end of the Roman Empire. Like I I know that's hyperbole. I know that.
00:24:41 Brandon
Half the country will get up and fight and and and and and be more resolved in the next election cycle. But this two party, but I can roll ******** system by can't roll.
00:24:55 Andrew
I mean that means there's the House and Senate.
00:24:55 Brandon
Yeah.
00:24:57 Brandon
Yeah, that's that's what it is.
00:24:58 Andrew
2 chambers.
00:25:02 Brandon
This two party system by.
00:25:02 Andrew
So I yeah.
00:25:05 Andrew
Bipolar one can say good morning I guess.
00:25:07 Brandon
Panic at the least, at least.
00:25:10 Brandon
Or I guess it's more bipolar. I just, I can't. I just. I need a week and thank you listeners for listening us for rants for.
00:25:22 Andrew
Uh, let's also talk about like.
00:25:25 Andrew
The fact that Trump won probably has more to do with the issues and.
00:25:30 Andrew
Americans voting on those rather than the person and their own individual and the person's individual character problem is they've emboldened the * ***** they're like. Yeah, that's right that then now we can make it back to where there's only two genders that's like, God, I hope you have a trans.
00:25:38 Andrew
These shoes as they stand for in.
00:25:51 Andrew
Yeah, like that. I mean, I don't hope that for your kid, but I hope that you have a reckoning where you have to decide and if you're.
00:25:56 Brandon
Right.
00:26:00 Brandon
Are you compassion?
00:26:00 Andrew
The type of person.
00:26:02 Andrew
Who disowns your child because they come out as gay or or are trans like you have Trump Derangement syndrome and you should burn in hell. Like that's the worst possible kind of person you can be. Yeah. So for you to, like, cast stones at people like. Yes, I hope you have to deal with something.
00:26:15 Andrew
Yes.
00:26:20 Andrew
Like that because it'll either.
00:26:21 Andrew
Reveal your humanity. Reveal the fact that you should be struck by a vehicle. Well, like you know what I mean. There's that.
00:26:27 Andrew
Those are the two possible outcomes.
00:26:29 Brandon
And then, after being struck by a vehicle, RFK Junior will come up, take your corpse, and then eat it.
00:26:35 Andrew
Yeah, we paused briefly for the RFK science corner. Let's see Florence industrial waste that causes you to become infernal. And what else does it do? Mind. Control it, but not the same kind of mind control as the worm, which is burrowed into your cerebrum.
00:26:50 Brandon
No. Yeah. Smart. Yeah.
00:26:54 Brandon
Screen. Yeah. Did you see over the weekend? Over last weekend? The there's like a Reddit thread or something that people are like.
00:27:09 Brandon
There was a dolphin that was like, drawn and quartered in New Jersey or something, and like strewn along the beach. And they're like, where was it? RFK, junior.
00:27:20 Andrew
Yeah, he he he's an alibi.
00:27:22 Brandon
Yeah, it kind of does but NGL but.
00:27:29 Brandon
Yeah, I I I I really hope that Trump was just blessing people about giving him.
00:27:37 Andrew
Everything but the well me, Bobby.
00:27:42 Brandon
You.
00:27:42 Brandon
That's a.
00:27:42 Andrew
Really scary notion that someone that deranged, delusional would actually be in charge of like.
00:27:49 Andrew
He did it. He did.
00:27:49 Andrew
Healthcare.
00:27:50 Brandon
It during his yeah health care.
00:27:52 Brandon
No, I think the specific quote was.
00:28:08 Andrew
But I mean, during this first year.
00:28:10 Brandon
Yeah, an issue I actually care about. He, like, rolled back net neutrality and put the Internet under the control of the FCC.
00:28:20 Brandon
Or the instead of the FTC, which allows for Internet companies to throttle your Internet. There's there's no regulation to to keep it as a utility. That's not like, that's not.
00:28:29 Andrew
Yeah.
00:28:38 Brandon
Used by capitalism to make us suffer.
00:28:41 Brandon
And I'll, I'll be fair it, it didn't get as crazy as I thought it would have by this point, but I I just had to upgrade $40.00 for a better Internet plan or a better phone plan like.
00:28:57 Brandon
So yeah, we reversed it, but it's still the ramifications are are still going to be affecting us from for for a while and I don't know into these next four years.
00:29:11 Brandon
Huh.
00:29:13 Brandon
But you know, neither of us will survive. Sure, I have hypertension. Just.
00:29:18 Brandon
Talking about all this.
00:29:20 Andrew
Yeah, I feel my eye.
00:29:22 Andrew
Twitching.
00:29:23 Brandon
My should my left arm feeling?
00:29:23 Andrew
What? What?
00:29:26 Andrew
Do you smell burnt toast?
00:29:28 Brandon
That's a stroke.
00:29:30 Andrew
That's true.
00:29:32 Brandon
I think.
00:29:34 Andrew
Yes.
00:29:35 Brandon
Yeah. For I've brought some toast earlier.
00:29:37 Andrew
Ohh man.
00:29:40 Andrew
I mean.
00:29:42 Andrew
We kind of botched it a little bit though, right, I mean.
00:29:44 Brandon
Following.
00:29:45 Andrew
Here's the thing. I think in two.
00:29:48 Andrew
1024.
00:29:50 Andrew
We as an industrialized country should be able to elect a female president.
00:29:55 Andrew
Correct.
00:29:56 Andrew
A woman president and I think that they could do as good, if not better of a job as a man.
00:30:02 Brandon
Wholeheartedly.
00:30:03 Andrew
But I think right now we need.
00:30:05 Andrew
To refocus on winning again.
00:30:09 Andrew
Because even if it's not just or whatever, like, we gotta just start winning again.
00:30:16 Andrew
And then we can we can try to change the world, but right now, unfortunately, the world we live in is an archaic world where rooms full of white men are making decisions about women's bodies, you know.
00:30:16 Brandon
No.
00:30:28 Andrew
What I mean like?
00:30:29 Andrew
It's just we're not there yet and I want us to be there and we should be there.
00:30:29 Brandon
Yeah.
00:30:33 Andrew
But we're not there yet.
00:30:34 Brandon
That's the philosophical.
00:30:38 Brandon
Point that that I think.
00:30:42 Brandon
Do you know it's the whole? Do we stoop to their level or do we rise higher? Do we do we suffer the hypocrisy that that?
00:30:52 Andrew
The problem is our country is behind like they did it in Great Britain. They did it in Germany, they did it all over the.
00:30:57 Andrew
World.
00:30:58 Andrew
They've elected female heads of state and we can't do it, and it's probably because of the 53% of people who decided that Donald Trump should, you know, shot.
00:31:10 Andrew
At the white.
00:31:10 Brandon
House about it have only had the right to vote for 100 years. You ever take 4?
00:31:18 Brandon
Ohh it will take one.
00:31:21 Brandon
And that seems to white women. Yeah. And essentially that's just, yeah, essentially. I mean, judging by some of the red states, like, it's just an extra ballot for your husband.
00:31:21 Andrew
And what a nice 100 years it was and now they won't be voting.
00:31:38 Brandon
To have a say and that's that is insane. But it's their vote.
00:31:38 Andrew
True.
00:31:47 Brandon
Yeah.
00:31:49 Brandon
It it is, is interesting. Just democracy like I.
00:31:55 Brandon
I love the democratic process. I love the fact that we have democracy in this country and I hope to hell that we still have democracy in four years that we've just been misinterpreting what he's been saying because of our TDs. But like.
00:32:11 Andrew
I for four years.
00:32:14 Brandon
We're voting for him again for some reason.
00:32:19 Brandon
Well, I'll be dead, but still.
00:32:23 Andrew
No, I know it's interesting because then you start to think about like.
00:32:27 Andrew
Who would is going to come out of the woodwork and he's sort of like.
00:32:31 Andrew
The the Trump.
00:32:35 Brandon
The logo, yeah.
00:32:35 Andrew
Acolytes, you know, are going to be coming out like.
00:32:38 Andrew
Trying to be like a watered down version, Trump of Trump, and it's either she's not gonna translate, it's gonna fall flat or it's gonna like really take hold.
00:32:47 Brandon
Who on this team is actually on his team like Jay Vance once said, that Trump is the Hitler of our country like.
00:32:56 Andrew
But then, JD Vance, they he just they they bought him like he just he. He had no integrity.
00:33:00 Brandon
But I don't.
00:33:02 Brandon
Exactly. And what I'm saying. Yeah. Well, Goose neck, Mitch McConnell said after the insurrection. This man should never be LED back into the White House.
00:33:18 Brandon
100% of Trump? Trump's yeah, Mike Pence is the only the only person.
00:33:18 Andrew
Mike Pence.
00:33:25 Brandon
Of that team? Well, I guess a couple of generals came out against them. But like Mike Pence, oddly enough, don't disagree with him on a lot of stances. But I'm sorry, I don't agree with him on a lot of stances, but somehow, somehow the voice of sanity among amongst people that were that are Republican.
00:33:45 Brandon
The.
00:33:47 Brandon
Trump is not fit for the position like.
00:33:53 Brandon
And and and people, people like I've been. I've been on another follow this free. I just can't. But like people have been saying, you know, 70 million people can't be wrong and it's like something you can't be racist.
00:34:05 Andrew
But interestingly they can. They can. Oh my God. I mean. And there's. This is the thing that's been going on. I saw some stuff. It was like it was like a picture of Donald Trump. Like sitting.
00:34:09
Yeah.
00:34:10 Brandon
And they are.
00:34:18 Andrew
Thing.
00:34:19 Andrew
Like with his his head and his hands, and like literally, like an apparition of Jesus with his hands on his shoulders.
00:34:27
Play.
00:34:28 Andrew
I kid you not because he won the election and then people were like, well, I see people are saying like if you voted this unfriend me if you voted to unfriend me. Well, welcome to the real world where we can disagree with each other and still be friends.
00:34:31
10.
00:34:43 Andrew
That is more.
00:34:44 Brandon
MMM.
00:34:45 Andrew
Gaslighting, if we disagree on what our favorite.
00:34:46 Brandon
MHM.
00:34:49 Andrew
Pizza topping is Yep, you're.
00:34:51 Andrew
If we disagree on like what we how we think taxes should be assessed and allocated, if we're talking about putting children in cages.
00:35:02 Andrew
Telling women they can't or can't do things their way that they would like to do, etcetera. We don't have a disagreement. We have a fundamental incompatibility, so therefore.
00:35:06 Brandon
Banning books.
00:35:12 Andrew
Or if you voted for him.
00:35:15 Andrew
Buck off. Goodbye. And that does not make me a child. You are a child. We're voting for an individual who does not respect or be your human right and again.
00:35:24 Brandon
Correct. Yeah. There's been a meme on the liberal side where they they showed a picture of, like the guy that says we can disagree and still be friends with a big sign. He looks like he looks like Chuck Liddell with a.
00:35:38 Brandon
Your beard and it says we can disagree or on the sign says we can disagree and still be friends. But it's there's a quote from James Baldwin where it says we can disagree and still love each other. Unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist.
00:35:55 Andrew
Or even my.
00:35:56 Andrew
And it's not even mine specifically, it's.
00:35:57 Brandon
Yeah, well.
00:35:58 Andrew
Just a general disregard for.
00:36:00 Brandon
James Baldwin black.
00:36:02 Andrew
Yeah, sure. But the general disregard for human rights.
00:36:05 Brandon
Right. For dignity, yes, like.
00:36:12 Brandon
LGBTQ people are.
00:36:15 Brandon
They exist. They didn't just magically appear, they've existed, they just couldn't.
00:36:22 Brandon
Exists in our society because.
00:36:26 Brandon
Of people with a narrow minded view that.
00:36:29
Yeah.
00:36:31 Andrew
Also, the ones that didn't come out became became Ultra Conservative. I'd just like to.
00:36:35 Andrew
Throw that out there.
00:36:36 Brandon
Also true, you can find them in the Seattle airport bathroom.
00:36:41 Andrew
Jamie Vance is the eyeliner game is on point.
00:36:45 Brandon
Or.
00:36:46 Andrew
She said.
00:36:46 Brandon
Yeah.
00:36:50 Brandon
Yeah, I just, I mean, JD, man, no conviction.
00:36:54 Andrew
Though.
00:36:57 Andrew
Do we just at this point have a weekly weekly podcast where we just scour the news reports and talk about the stupid, wacky **** that Donald Trump did?
00:37:07 Brandon
Honestly, I like.
00:37:09 Brandon
We've done, we've done a lot of 90s and it was I I did, I I have been thinking about because you said that at some point in this past week and like, you know, that is actually a great idea until we get caught and killed.
00:37:12 Brandon
Sure.
00:37:24 Andrew
Well, here's the thing. Like conservatives, like their whole thing, like if they can get on the radio.
00:37:31 Andrew
And talk some **** like, that's what they're all about.
00:37:37 Andrew
We have.
00:37:37 Andrew
Like NPR? Like, really boring backspace like you would never. You would never like, you know, say anything mildly denigrating toward the other side. It's all just very much like back base. There's not a lot of, like, maybe there are. I'm not sure, like general liberal ***** shows that.
00:37:41 Brandon
You're this known for NPR.
00:37:58 Andrew
Go on and.
00:37:59 Brandon
OK.
00:37:59 Andrew
I think there's a market for that.
00:38:01 Brandon
Yeah, I think on which there's some guy named his son Tiger.
00:38:07 Brandon
Not the right Hassan. He's like a political Twitch streamer. I don't know what side he falls on.
00:38:12 Brandon
But I feel like.
00:38:14 Brandon
He's in touch with the millennial and Zoomer Gen.
00:38:20 Andrew
Although mail and.
00:38:20 Andrew
Profits.
00:38:21 Andrew
Jen voted for Trump in fairly high numbers too, so.
00:38:24 Brandon
Yes, the.
00:38:26 Andrew
But this is the time to use our.
00:38:27 Andrew
Power for good.
00:38:28 Brandon
You know our we were following.
00:38:34 Andrew
But also the content rights itself.
00:38:37 Andrew
Yeah, it's.
00:38:37 Andrew
Like what stupid **** did Donald Trump say this week?
00:38:40 Brandon
This week, and it probably won't, probably won't be a 45 to 60 minute podcast like this one is.
00:38:49 Brandon
Comma.
00:38:50 Brandon
Yeah, it's.
00:38:52 Andrew
Who is going in front of a firing squad this week and at the end of the series, it's us that's that's the cliffhanger.
00:38:58 Brandon
Yeah.
00:39:03 Brandon
Did they survive? We may never know.
00:39:05 Andrew
And I'm telling you, we're going to.
00:39:06 Andrew
Have the RFK science.
00:39:08 Andrew
Corner like that's going to be 1 of.
00:39:08 Brandon
I.
00:39:09 Brandon
It.
00:39:09 Andrew
The segments we do.
00:39:11 Brandon
Yeah, you know, I I studied some engineering and I studied biology. We might be able to talk science against anti science.
00:39:24 Brandon
I I, yeah. So look out for that. Can we post January 6 Insurrection 2025?
00:39:35 Brandon
Yeah.
00:39:37 Brandon
But let's let's hang on. Let's end on a high note we've been.
00:39:42 Brandon
We've been bashing 73,406,176 people in this country over this this.
00:39:55 Brandon
Podcast let's let's talk to our 69,070,375 friends out there that are listening to us. Obviously, they're listening to us. I just bumped my nose on my microphone. Let's let's just let's just remind everyone that we are.
00:40:16 Brandon
We're here and if you need allies, if you need safe spaces. If you need someone to listen to while we're doing this podcast, but we're still here for you.
00:40:27 Andrew
It's it's four years.
00:40:30 Brandon
Four years.
00:40:30 Andrew
Nothing is done. Can be undone, can't be undone. I should say this is what we need.
00:40:32 Brandon
We could true and we we might have to start earlier.
00:40:38 Andrew
This is where we need to organize, unite, find.
00:40:43 Andrew
So think about who the next candidates gonna be. Moderate a little bit. This is, in my opinion, not the time to lean far left. It's time to lean slightly toward the center.
00:40:53 Andrew
For the purpose of.
00:40:55 Andrew
Like getting **** done, you know.
00:40:59 Brandon
Yes, although.
00:41:02 Brandon
Socially, I don't know if I can do that.
00:41:06 Andrew
No, not not.
00:41:07 Andrew
Socially, as much leaning more towards the center and in terms of like your taxes and and.
00:41:10 Brandon
Everything else.
00:41:13 Brandon
