Fear and Podcast hosts contrast Japan's order with the US's broken customs system, lament Cutie Cinderella's death and planning a move to Brazil. They debate Super Bowl conspiracies, analyze Anthony Davis's trade as a Las Vegas casino strategy, and criticize Trump's attacks on air traffic controllers. The episode culminates in a deep dive into Kanye West's erratic, anti-Semitic social media outbursts, attributing them to mental illness and album promotion while linking right-wing extremism to wealth inequality and educational failures. Ultimately, the discussion argues that societal decay fuels conspiracy theories over structural solutions. [Automatically generated summary]

Worst Country in the World00:13:09
They were all equally Kanye West crazy, but the swastika shirt for me is a new.
No!
Whoa!
Wait, this is...
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to another episode of the Fear and Podcast.
We are fresh off of a trip to one of the best countries in the world, Nippon, Japan.
And now we're back in the arguably worst country in the world, the United States of America.
I'm feeling it.
Yeah.
And the boys, Cutie has unfortunately left us.
She died of a self-suck incident.
That's right.
Did you think Cutie tried to self-suck like old Bilbo Baggins over here?
Got like this far and was like, I could suck it.
And everybody was like, Cutie, your cock would have to be like 18 inches.
Yeah, she couldn't do it.
Yeah.
Which makes you think, is Ludwig just packing an absolute hammer that she thinks that's yeah, she's like the normal, the normal penis is like 12 and a half flaccid.
I don't know.
I don't know if Ludwig gives big dick energy.
I mean, he's gotten a lot of confidence.
I mean, he's got, he's got a big butt.
I think he could have a big dick.
This is weird.
I feel like we shouldn't talk about Ludwig's penis without Cutie Cinderella being here.
That's true.
Okay, so we'll wait.
We'll talk about and speculate of the size of Ludwig's penis with cutie Cinderella's here.
I will tell you, I have been definitely a little depressed.
Yeah, we did.
This time, more so than Will normally, because Will usually gets very depressed after coming back from Japan.
I came back from Japan and I was awash with just every, like a fundamentally broken system.
I walked in and my first experience instantly is customs and border patrol.
There are like 2,000 people waiting in line.
It's slammed at 9 a.m. in the morning.
Guess how many customs and border patrol agents were there?
Two.
There was two for the no pre-check side, for the no global entry side, for U.S. permanent residents, green card holders.
Precheck isn't there.
And then for the global entry side, there was only one agent.
So they had three customs and border patrol agents totaling.
There's like 60 panels, maybe even more than that, that you could be utilizing.
You know what?
You could be doing electronic entry.
Strategy.
If you're a terrorist, it'll stress you out.
See?
No, it's because it's already everything in the United States of America is underfunded.
Yes, as someone who was doing terror, I was very stressed.
No, as is the case with everything, they just don't hire enough people.
But in this one in particular, in this administration in particular, they're just too busy like locking up 75-year-old Guatemalan aunties and shit from random neighborhoods that haven't done any crime whatsoever.
So they don't have enough border patrol agents to do the entry.
I got right in.
I landed in.
It was seamless.
It was a seamless experience.
I got right in.
Yes.
Oh, that's right.
ATL.
That's right.
ATL.
Went through security, seamless.
I went through security and immediately took a shower because I did a shower and a half hour layover.
Yeah, I did a shower in the lounge too when I got to LA.
Look at us.
We had a great time.
Had a little eggs Benedict.
Oh, yeah.
Right.
Right when I landed with a little bit.
A little bacon.
Not a little bacon, a little side of sushi just to make it feel like home.
Airport lobby sushi as well.
No, no, no, no.
This is the Delta One Lounge.
They have a sushi bar.
Sushi chef.
All right.
From Japan.
It's not, dude, nothing.
I think you're just projecting.
I think you missed Japan.
Yeah.
Yeah, I miss Japan, but also America doesn't.
We have the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever.
Which is what?
Move to Japan.
Yeah, quit our jobs.
What do you mean, quit our jobs?
I thought just get into Japanese politics.
It's easier.
First of all, it's not easier.
It's crazy.
Hassan, just cover the news like a few hours later.
I don't understand.
You could wake up two hours later.
Yeah, yeah.
This is literally you waking up at 7 a.m. instead of 5.
This is a two-hour difference in the start of your stream is causing this much distress.
But normally I have a system.
I have a system.
I wake up.
They have a part.
I have to treat my game time.
I mean, I have to wake up and then do a bunch of stuff before I like I do.
I have to prep for the stream.
I have to work out.
They have all these things.
No, I can't.
Well, when the time zone difference is so vast, I have to literally wake up and immediately.
Yeah.
Yeah, but you know, I feel like your routine.
I understand.
Yeah, I'm thinking about it.
Don't worry.
I'm contemplating.
Well, and I hope we can do this.
Also, you don't speak Japanese.
This is what's going to happen.
For fuck's sake, we can figure it out.
This is what's going to happen.
Y'all are going to move to Japan, and then I'm going to be flying into the podcast every week because I can't fucking move.
Well, think of it this way: your Marriott and Delta points are going to go off the Richter.
Do you know how many points I got from this last trip?
Off the record.
204,000.
I don't even know what that translates to.
It means like it's like four grand.
Oh, just like in points back.
Oh, yeah.
That's a lot of points.
Oh, yeah.
I'm proud of you.
Can you buy like with Joe Camel back in the day?
You could buy like windbreakers and stuff.
Yeah, you can buy.
Yeah, they have like experiences.
Can you get me like a Delta Windbreaker?
Well, let me, I don't know if they got those, but they got Delta experience.
What are the experiences?
I don't know what you're doing.
They do.
I don't know what they, but they do.
Like, you could do like V, but you can't put a price on it.
You can move it.
It's a Delta Double D. Really?
Yeah, you can't.
There's no price.
It's exclusive access.
Can we do a Delta experience?
Yeah, I want a Delta Job.
I want a Delta Suck job.
A Delta suck and five.
Yeah.
Or a Marriott sucking.
They're like, dude, you're not paying for it, technically, so it's not illegal.
It's a Italian in-air sucking file.
I'll be honest, I haven't tested the limits of my status.
Yeah.
Like, I wouldn't.
I feel like you have.
No, like, if I were to call that.
You got to do it daily.
You just got to do it.
You've got a massive.
Like, just call.
Hello.
I'd like to blow job in 15 minutes and then just hang up and see what happens.
I do have, as a follow-up to that, we're all a little depressed from Japan.
I've been doing well, by the way.
I have really terrible news.
What's up?
We made a promise last year.
Uh-oh.
What was that?
And now it's now the chickens is coming to roost.
Wait, what?
I don't remember any promises that we made.
Carnival is in a month.
Oh, shit.
Did we say we're going to go to Brazil?
We are going to Brazil.
Oh, God.
Yes.
Boogie Ordigis.
Wait.
What is this accent?
It's a general South American gentleman.
Boogie Ordigan.
But it's a Latino South American.
We get it.
We're going to Brazil.
Very nice.
Hand on the place.
This is like a hate crime.
It's kind of Cuban.
I don't know what the fuck it is, but it's a cubicle.
It's a decentralized 70 minutes.
It's speeding.
That's what it is.
No!
Betty going out, Brazil.
It's the best we can do, okay?
But I mean, we're going to go to Brazil.
Yeah, I mean, hey, I'm down.
I mean, I ain't got nothing going on.
Yeah.
Guess what?
It's the same fucking time zone, too.
So you don't got to lifestyle.
It's crazy Broadway style.
Let's just pop down for, I don't know, three, four days.
Is it gay?
Oh, it's gay.
He's in Brazil, gay.
We're all, dude, just like in Japan, we have to observe the customs down there.
When we're there in the hot, hot sun, we all have to wear budgie smugglers.
Oh, budgie smells.
I'm talking banana handles.
Wait, hot.
It's like it's the Brazilian version of the onset all the time.
Speaking of which, we never did the onsen.
We never did the onsen.
Yeah.
This was the.
Can I be honest?
I was aware of it the whole time.
Really?
So you just didn't bring it up?
I knew the whole time.
I was like, I know.
There was a one point during the trip that Marsh and I turned to each other.
We're like, it's not happening.
He's like, nah, not a chance.
We had it.
Well, the thing was, we couldn't stream it.
We had it scheduled.
Yeah.
Our stream schedule was wacky.
People kind of even said after the fact how many streams we did was wild.
Yeah, way too much.
Go ahead.
Rio de Janeiro right now is 85 degrees.
And C, a high 87 today.
Portuguese is yes.
C is yeah.
Spanish.
Yeah, but see, but see in Portugal.
Yes.
Oh, I got the leg up.
Wait, what game?
Can we check on that?
Wait, did you just say that confidently?
Man, whoa, whoa, fucking clue.
In Portuguese is sim shit.
It's not even the same.
God damn it.
I have been.
Okay, Ola's got to be the same.
I'm very excited.
Hello in Portuguese.
Ola!
Yay!
We got that shit.
I'm very excited to go to.
I'd be down to go to Brazil because.
You need it more than anybody.
Well, that for sure, but also because, you know, you got Lula in charge there.
It's the socialist administration.
You also have that hot bod you've just been waiting to unleash on the hot Brazilian sun.
Okay, I've been unleashing the hot bod doing teasing.
That's true.
Not in my tub.
Come on.
I mean, there is like the Hassan normal titty pick meta, and then there's Hassan in a fucking bikini vine playing beach volleyball with the lash.
Just fucking hair coming out of every orphan.
Me and Christian versus you two.
Yes.
A little beach volleyball.
Yeah.
I'm down.
I'm down.
I'm ready.
I'm already.
I'm already working on my summer body.
Talking, hi.
I'm ready.
I'm playing with the bulls.
I was shirless earlier after playing.
And Austin said, you look skinny.
And it made my week because I have gained a little bit of weight in Japan.
Yeah.
I thought you looked skinny.
But thank you for saying that.
When are you getting in my fucking bathtub, bitch?
Oh, that's why you were saying it.
No, it had nothing to do with that, bro.
Come on.
I know.
No, it had nothing to do with that.
When is he going to get in my bathtub?
Everybody's waiting on it.
There's so much hype around it.
Honestly, like, I've hired, I've got so many.
Two months ago, like before the holiday season, two, three months ago, I was, I think, in prime shape, like ready to rip.
And now I feel like I've gained.
You know what?
This motherfucker hasn't been on my stream in over a year.
I'll get about it.
Can you believe that?
Here I am.
You knew who has been on my stream?
Cracking chopsticks.
Yeah.
I rated you.
Oh, that's.
Oh, thank you.
You know what?
Thank you.
All is forgiven.
Thank you so much.
Also, the reason why I couldn't come on your hot, well, the Connor stream that you did.
I did, by the way, he was about to call your stream hot tub time machine and not screen the tub.
No, I also didn't have a bit for you because I refused to do a bit because I'm waiting for you to get in the tub.
Oh, true.
Okay.
You can't.
I wouldn't have allowed you anymore.
No, I wasn't going to come in the tub, but I was going to come in and say what up.
But the reason why I couldn't do it is because I was setting up for the sumo stream that we shot on his channel.
So I had to go back to the hotel.
That's okay.
Will came and broke Chuck's chopsticks with this buck to crack.
Can do that when you're pure talent and not also doing a lot of streams too.
No, that's what I'm saying.
I was doing a lot of back-end technology.
Are you saying you're not talented?
No, I'm saying I have to do both talent stuff and also back-end technical stuff.
Okay.
We're in shambles.
Hey, Will, I'm kind of a nerd and I also want to go see the game.
Oh, then you need SeatGeek.
Wow.
That's right.
What's that show?

The Japanese Internet Cafe Stream00:05:14
I think we're all just kind of bathing in the afterglow.
I know.
How incredible Japan was.
Dude, 17 hours.
I was streaming 17 hours a day.
Like I would start at 4 a.m., start the stream at 5 a.m.
Yep.
And the last stream would be at like 11 p.m. by the end of the day when we were like eating dinner.
And I think that Hassan fell asleep at dinner every night we went to dinner.
Yeah.
I didn't fall asleep.
I was nodding a little night.
I was nodding a little bit.
Okay.
I would just look over after like your fifth bite of steak and you just go.
I was nodding a little bit.
But having said that, I still kept it up.
I think we looked like the lone heroin addict in Japan.
The crazy, the craziest thing, though, was that like we would also start.
This is something that I didn't really think about until recently.
Sure.
We would start drinking at like 12.
I'm going to be honest.
I made a consorted effort to be a bad influence and get you guys fucked up.
And I just kind of started the trend the first day.
Like when we were wheels down, I was like, oh, high ballu.
And we just kind of kept that rolling.
I discovered that drink this trip.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He invented it.
No, I discovered it.
No.
So Christopher Columbus ever.
Wow.
My good dream.
My esthetician, who also happens to be Japanese and she was born in Japan, I told her about Haibalu and she's like, I was telling it to her like it was a new phenomenon.
She's like, no, it's been around since I was a kid.
Super 50s.
It's been around forever.
So I thought that it was like this new thing that young people did, but it's a cultural standpoint.
Dude, the amount of excitement when you first land in Japan versus the sadness that you feel when you're leaving Japan.
Packing up my room was brutal.
Let me tell you the experience.
And I got to experience it twice because you guys left.
So it reminded me that I was going to leave soon.
So I was sad for the next.
Imagine this.
You are a foreign person coming from another country.
Sure.
You dream of the bright lights, Beverly Hills, Hollywood Boulevard, the stars, the Hollywood sign, all the things that we know aren't as boring.
Yeah, but that's what you think of.
And then you land at fucking LAX.
Yeah.
You get bullied by, you wait in a three-hour line, get bullied by a border agent, only to go through security and get fucking dumped out into the horseshoe like a fucking animal.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And forget if you have a connecting flight.
You get dumped out of the international terminal.
You have to walk to your another terminal.
I had to walk because I had a connecting flight.
I had to get out and walk with my bags and suitcase.
Like a newborn drama.
Bags everywhere.
Yes, everywhere.
Twigs in tow.
Yeah, the fact that we're so anti-public transit that we don't even have like a normal railway system within the Los Angeles airport is crazy.
Because like at least every other airport, no matter where you go, you have a connection from like the railroad.
I think I have a railway system.
A little bit of your love for trains in Japan, too.
That's what I'm talking about.
It's really convenient.
You know what?
I did too.
Every once in a while, I was just like, I'm going to take the train.
Well, also, sometimes it's faster.
It is.
Significantly.
Yeah.
No, but sometimes I just did it.
I wasn't even going anywhere.
You were just getting on the train.
I wasn't even going.
Dude, we have yet to take the Shinkan Sen as well.
We have to go back.
The Shitkan Sen?
Shinkan Senkan Sen.
The bullet train.
That's the fast train.
Ah.
Dude, in the summer, we have to go to southern Japan.
Okinawa.
To Okinawa.
To do a beach episode.
My esthetician was listening to that and she said that you got to be careful because of like monsoons during the summer.
Oh.
Yeah.
It's very tropical.
He's really on board with Japanese summer.
I'd rather go in the spring and then go in the winter.
Japanese summer.
Because Japanese spring is beautiful.
Japanese summer sucks.
Spring is in like 10 minutes.
Like May.
I think May.
Like we go back in May.
Holy shit.
You're withdrawing hard, bro.
Yeah, we can go back in May.
I'll stream even earlier.
I'll start.
I'm sleeping and that way I can just.
Yeah, why do you think I want to go to Brazil?
It has the literal highest number of Japanese population on the planet outside of Japan.
Did you guys know that?
Okay, by the way, bringing Wake and Finn.
Yeah.
Smart.
Big time.
Yeah, big time.
Wake is there.
He's got.
We left him there.
Wake did maybe the most iconic stream in history yesterday.
He did his OnlyFangs raid with Ms. Kip in a Japanese internet cafe.
Yeah.
He did a 24-hour stream from a Japanese internet cafe.
Did that's what you're supposed to do?
Luca and the Super Bowl Commitment00:14:03
Could have been the title.
24 hours in a Japanese internet cafe could have been the fucking stream.
But he not only did an OnlyFangs raid, he got done and he was like, boys, I'm so fucked.
He did a sponsor from a Japanese internet cafe at like four in the morning Japan time.
Oh, that's awesome.
I mean, I hop in there.
I had to do a GeoGuesser one.
I had to do a GeoGuesser.
You were not in.
But I was not in a Japanese area.
He was in the comfort of his hotel room.
Yeah.
But yeah, that's when you're fully Japanese.
That's when you're fully Japanese.
That's when you've embraced it.
Okay, I'm a little worried that we're just like talking way too much about Japan and it's going to be boring.
All right.
Well, let's talk about the Super Bowl.
And there's a lot to get to.
Yeah.
I wanted to, we could start with the Super Bowl.
Okay.
All right.
I have no thoughts on the Super Bowl, even though I am a little shocked.
First Super Bowl ever.
Yeah.
I'm shocked that you guys both were like, I'm not watching it.
No.
I'm flying during the Super Bowl.
For the sake of my partnership with the NFL, I will be watching attentively after the game occurs.
I'm just too busy.
Yeah.
But no, I think you ultimately have one of the most reviled teams in history in the Chiefs versus, I would say, the most reviled fan base in the, dude, you know, it was so funny.
But maybe it's a let him fight type situation.
I was talking about the infamous pelting of Santa Claus last night.
And an Eagles fan was like, they did not throw things at Santa Claus.
And I looked up the historical event and he was like, all right, we threw some shit at Santa Claus.
No, my favorite is when I talk about eating horse manure, which is also a classic.
Oh, you didn't know this?
Classic Eagles fan.
Classic Eagles fan moment.
Wait.
They ate a police horse's horse manure in celebration of a Super Bowl victory.
I mean, if the Vikings had to, if it was about them winning the Super Bowl, and I'd eat horse shit, I'd eat it.
But no one, that was not the snakes.
He did it after the.
You know what?
Out of so much joy, maybe I would.
Just eat some poop.
Yeah.
So the thing that I wanted to explain is that they, you know, they, they, the Eagles fans ate horse manure famously.
Right.
And whenever I bring it up, they'll be like, oh, it's the one time we ate horse manure.
And it's like, yeah, you fuck one goat.
You're a goat fucker.
You know what I mean?
Like, there it is.
Eagles fan eats horse poop.
TMC TV.
Wait, this was when they won the Super Bowl.
Oh, that's the funniest part.
It's in celebrity.
They already won.
Crazy bonkers in the street.
Cunningham Jersey, who got on his hands and knees and ate horse crap.
Okay, I never knew.
Yeah.
It's very famous.
I've watched it so many times.
It doesn't even faze me.
I've seen this video.
He made him so happy he wanted to ate horse poops.
God, it looks worse than you even think it could look.
He ate it.
Oh.
That's dangerous.
Now, I think the funniest part about this is that they were doing this in celebration of a Super Bowl victory and not like ritualistic humiliation as a consequence of losing the Super Bowl.
No.
And as there was no bet.
No.
No, no, no.
It was just a spur of the moment type situation.
Just a mouthful of horse dookie.
The mayor has come out and obviously they grease the telephone poles instantly in Philadelphia.
They have to lube it up for like the entire week ahead of any kind of Eagles game, regardless.
Wait, they lube it up?
So then you can't climb it.
They can't climb it.
Like scale them.
Yeah.
No, they lube up.
Like sex lube.
Like they lard them.
I don't know what kind of lube they use.
I assume some industrial grade.
Maybe they take the diddy lube.
I don't know.
They have like the leftover diddy.
Yeah, the leftover diddy lube.
They just like squirted it on the telephone poles.
They call it the premium reserve.
Yeah, that shit is, yeah, it never goes away.
You can't wash that off with water.
But Eagles fans, win or lose, they will riot no matter what happens.
They do be rioting.
So that's something to look forward to as the city of Philadelphia burns, the city of brotherly love.
Well, that's a win or lose.
Yeah.
I was going to say that's only if they win.
It's kind of.
Yeah, no, they riot when they lose too.
Yeah.
Yeah.
A lot of wives are going to get beat.
A lot of telephone poles are going to be climbed regardless.
Even if they win.
You know, they're not all bad.
Let's just like 50%.
I've got a gay friend that he sent me a video, or he didn't send me.
I saw it on his story of him as a kid rooting on the Eagles, rioting.
No, he was eating horseshoe.
He was rooting on the Eagles, and it was the cutest thing ever.
And I was like, you know what?
For you, I hope they win.
No, I think everybody hopes the Eagles win.
Okay, well, hold on.
Slow down.
No, no, no, no.
Slow down.
Stand beside him.
Yeah, I have no dog in this fight.
I don't really care.
I'm just shocked at like the lack of interest from all of my immediate friends that normally would be really invested in the Super Bowl.
Well, I'm going to give a take too.
I think the Super Bowl has finally hit critical mass in terms of advertisements.
I think the Super Bowl is too long of a commitment now.
I think six hours, which is now what the Super Bowl takes, all in.
Now, people, unless you have some kind of vested interest in the game, most people are like, I can't.
I don't know if I can do that.
Yeah.
There's also, here's the other side of the story.
I think that gambling and how pervasive gambling is and how like interwoven gambling is with all professional sports at this point.
Oh, has we're going to, I'm going to get to that in a second, has created this like weird environment where I think a lot more of the, oh, all of this stuff is rigged conspiracies are popping off.
Because like everyone has always said like the NBA scripted, the NFL scripted, whatever, right?
Like that's a normal thing that sports fans like to push as a conspiracy.
Yes.
But I think now it's gotten way worse.
So whenever there's like a weird decision by the refs, for example, that give the Chiefs some unearned victory, everybody goes, oh, this is literally because it's scripted because there's too much money to be made in terms of gambling and too much money to be made in terms of marketing.
I don't like to get into the NFL's rigged conversation because I don't believe it.
And I don't think they sponsor you.
Well, I also just don't believe it.
And I also don't think that the Chiefs have games rigged for them.
But I will say something.
The Chiefs received two favorable calls in that game against the Bills that if you go back and watch them, you can pull these up.
They are rough to say the least.
And it's, you know what's interesting?
Most of the time, like the high-end commentators, like the Tom Brady's and the, you know, the Iron Eagles of the world, they'll be like, no, I don't necessarily agree with that call.
Both these calls, the guys on the call were like, that's a bad call.
And one was like an interception that got called a reception for the other team.
And then one was clearly a first down where they're like, oh, he didn't get to the line to gain.
And that was the only time I've really ever been like, ooh, that's pretty rough.
Well, there's another time when things might be rigged and it also is a conspiracy that ties back to gambling.
Let's talk about the Luca trade.
While we were in Japan, NBA Twitter and pretty much everything erupted because of a once in a lifetime history.
Worst NBA trade of all time, perhaps worse trade of all time in sporting history occurred under it seems like a shrouded mystery that no one even thought could have ever taken place.
When it was finally revealed, people thought that the account that revealed it like or the people that were revealing it were hacked.
No, he thought he was hacked himself.
Like the guy who leaked the information went on the show and was like, when I got the info, he was worried that he had been like his phone had been hacked and someone had, or the person who sent him the information had been hacked.
And he's like, I couldn't believe it as I was reporting it.
For those of you who don't know, Anthony, Anthony Davis, I was going to say Anthony Edwards.
Anthony Davis from Los Angeles Lakers was traded for Luca Donchich of the Dallas Mavericks.
Now, Luca is 25 years old and he is one of the best NBA players right now and is slated to become one of the greatest players of all time.
And, you know, Anthony Davis is also a Hall of Fame.
Yeah, he is going to be in the Hall of Fame.
Like, he is a fantastic player.
Obviously, they play very different roles.
What team?
Mavericks?
Dallas Mavericks, Los Angeles Lakers.
So in gay terms, it would be like if Beyonce got traded from the Mavericks to the Lakers.
Let me put it in gay terms.
There's a lot of queer people that watch this.
It would be like if Chappelle Rohn was traded for who would be like an older like one of the Backstreet Boys.
No, no, that's not fair.
I don't even think, I don't think Anthony Davis is Backstreet Boys level, but it's like, it's like someone.
Was it a clean trade?
No, plus a first-round pick.
One?
Yeah.
Yeah.
And initially, I think the trade was supposed to have other players involved in it as well, like Dalton Connect.
And, you know, at least there would be some benefit, some decipherable reason for the Mavericks to engage in this.
What if they know something?
But it was so.
So that's the speculation.
That was the initial speculation: is that like, how fat did Luca get after his injury?
That people are.
Did you see the all-time chant too of all the Mavs?
He's not fat.
Bring him back.
Yeah.
All the Mavs fans went outside of the stadium and the chant that they were singing was, Luca's not that fat.
You gotta bring him back.
And now, and now the GM has to like get extra security.
He's been getting death threats nonstop.
That's right.
But it's understandable because Luca was like the homegrown talent for the Mavericks at the age of 25.
He brought them to the finals.
So it's not like this guy was not even.
Yeah, he got him to the finals last year and he was a provider.
He was a provider.
He was homegrown talent and he was their superstar of the team.
Doesn't Mark Cuban own the Mavs?
No, he actually 25%.
So this is actually an interesting point.
Mark Cuban sold a piece of the Dallas Mavericks to Miriam Adelson.
For those of you who don't know, Miriam Adelson is the wife of the former casino magnate who is now dead, Sheldon Adelson.
Now, Sheldon Adelson is a massive booster of the Republican Party.
He's given hundreds of millions of dollars.
Miriam Adelson gave $100 million this election cycle to Donald Trump.
Why am I talking about all this?
Massive pro-Israel person and very corrupt, very ruthless business woman, right?
And very problematic in many ways.
There's speculation that as a casino magnate, Miriam has been trying to get a casino in Dallas, but the Texas state has not been to her will.
So now people are, and by that I mean myself included, are speculating that she actually wants to tank the Dallas Mavericks deliberately and then move it to Vegas so she can farm more money because that's where her casinos are.
Also, they would have had to pay Luca what is called a Super Max deal, which is like the most money you can pay a talent to protect smaller market teams so that they can keep their talent on board.
So there's also speculation they got rid of Luca to save money.
Yeah.
And just keep the team as a tax write-off.
Which is rough.
Oh, that's rough if you're a fan of that team.
Oh, man.
Yeah.
Luca at his first Lakers.
Especially if you could live in Dallas.
Luca at his first Lakers press conference was rough.
He was like, you could just see he was visibly like, I don't know what the fuck I'm doing here.
And the crazy thing is like LA fans are like, I'm about to go to Lakers games.
Oh, yeah.
Now, because we arguably have the best player of the last generation with the best player of this generation playing on the same team.
I mean, look, I think Luca's great, but you got a lot of talent in the new generation.
You got Wemby.
Oh, I forgot you played.
Wait, what?
No, I like him because he's white.
Are you kidding me?
He's a schlubby Balkan boy.
Slobby.
Dominating.
Yes, both him.
He's not that fat.
Yeah.
You gotta bring him back.
Listen, Luca and the Joker are both living.
Do you think you can make an argument that he's the best player of this generation?
I think that, I mean, I think you have freaks in this generation.
Like literal freaks.
Just some schlubby Balkan guy.
Mando for Everyone Now00:02:08
Yes.
That's what I'm saying.
No, no, no.
He is.
That's why they're calling in death threats.
Yeah.
All I'm saying is he is arguably one of the best players in the NBA and one of the best superstar top talents of the newer generation.
And he's 100%.
It's going to be very exciting and we should go to basketball.
But here's the reason why it's also ridiculous because Anthony Davis is older.
He's on his way out and he's also injury prone as well.
As evidenced by the fact that he already took a non-contact.
He got a non-contact injury.
They had to level up the GM's security after.
Oh my God.
They're going to kill him.
They're going to assassinate him.
Dallas is a Second Amendment state.
Texas is a second amendment state.
Austin.
Will.
You smell delicious.
Thank you so much.
It's because I went to the country of Japan and hiked up one of the most iconic mountains.
And on that mountain, I found a product from Mando.
Oh, Mount Fuji.
Yes.
Mount Fuji.
Whole body deodorant.
Oh, my goodness.
And I dug right into the earth and I extracted it and branded it Mando.
Oh, wow.
And gave them exclusive rights.
Well, I got to tell you, I like Mando a lot.
And it's so good that my girlfriend has started stealing it.
Really?
Caroline uses Mando now too?
Wow.
I know.

Pilot Nerves and Crazy Procedures00:10:12
Can I tell you what I'm sick of?
I'm kind of in the vein of this.
Yeah.
I'm.
Well, Twitter, X, whatever the fucking.
Yeah.
That's stupid.
Elon Musk.
Okay.
He's a f.
I'm just going to bring it back.
Okay.
Well, we need to take the word and put it towards him.
Look at him.
Imagine.
I saw him the other day fucking body shaming women.
It's like, bro, have you seen yourself?
Imagine being worth half a trillion dollars and not being able to see your dick.
Literally.
You have all the money in the world.
Yeah.
Look, I'm not trying to fat shame here, but I am fat shaming Elon Musk.
Okay.
He's not even, I think, like, his proportions are off.
Aside from being like fat, he has like a massive barrel chest that just looks so grotesque.
He's just, he's just ugly.
He's ugly.
Okay.
I'm just going to say inside and out.
But my point is what I'm frustrated with is I'm scrolling on that shitty fucking.
We have to blurt it out because I just said it again.
I'm so sorry.
That fucking platform.
Everything I see these stupid conservative accounts.
Everything's a conspiracy theory.
Yeah.
Every single thing that happens is a fucking conspiracy theory.
And I'm sick of it because there's so many fucking morons that look at that and they think there's a not everything's a conspiracy theory.
Like I saw some stupid one like, there's so many weird things happening.
Donald Trump's going to be at the Super Bowl.
What are they planning?
And I'm like, I just wanted to respond, girl, no.
Yeah, no.
President who's very televised.
Just go.
Just shut up.
Watch the fucking game.
Yeah.
And it's not a conspiracy.
There's this stupid account every time something happens when the plane crashes, when all the planes crash.
Oh, what are they doing?
Why are planes falling out of the sky?
Awesome.
What do you know?
What do you know?
What are you hiding?
What are you hiding?
The plane crashes.
Is it part of the gay cabal?
I have no idea why.
First of all, this is what I truly believe.
I truly believe.
Did Big Gay want the aviation industry to crash so you could finally get your opportunity to be a pilot?
No, look, I actually am a little nervous about being a pilot after I was taking off today.
First of all, today's gay.
Today I looked in the cockpit, female captain.
Yeah.
Which made me immediately made me feel safer.
Okay.
Because I was like, you know, think about it, how many obstacles she had to go through to overcome.
Think about it.
Right.
Think about it.
Right.
You should feel safer.
She was a woman.
You know how many fucking misogynists she was dabbing and weaving, right?
Getting to people.
You're a woman.
You can't do that.
You're a flight attendant.
You can't even drive.
Yeah, exactly.
And all of a sudden, she's the captain.
Yeah.
So I was like, immediately, I felt safer.
Right?
I was like, also, also, if you're a female pilot.
No, no, no.
I'm going to contribute to what you're saying.
If you're a female pilot or like a black pilot right now, you're probably extra careful because if you fuck up, they're going to be like, oh, damn.
Yeah, yeah.
Or, I mean, if you fuck up, you want to, never mind, never mind.
Never mind.
Okay.
So anyway, female pilot, brave, awesome, amazing, perfect.
Love it.
Okay.
And, but I'm a little nervous because as I'm taking off, I look at the flight attendant and he goes like this.
Sign of the cross.
Sign of the cross.
So he wasn't feeling the female.
No, no.
I'm like, yeah.
So I'm like, he was doing last rice.
Yeah, he was doing, I was like, looking at him, I was like, and I was like looking at my map, trying to track the weather.
And I'm like, nothing seems out of the ordinary.
We were on a max plane, but he was going like this.
And I was like, I respect that.
There's something very unnerving about a flight attendant who starts praying.
Because you're doing, that's your job.
You're on the flight all the time.
So why are you extra?
Why are you getting God on your own?
Yeah, God, you got, look, I respect God, but like, do we really need Jesus on this flight?
You know what I mean?
Like, are we going to need Jesus?
Why are you getting him involved?
Like, would you have been more or less nervous if instead of Nomini Patra, he rolled out a prayer map and faced towards Mecca?
I don't know.
Why are you guys laughing?
It's just an honest question.
I'll be honest.
I would have felt more safe.
That's what I was saying.
I would have felt more safe.
Boundaries, that guy would have overcome.
Because all the fucking accidents are happening in the United States.
Clearly, Jesus ain't doing shit, but Allah is holding it down in the Middle East.
When was the last time you heard about an accident from Emirates?
Never.
Never.
Fucking never.
Well, the last time a bunch of Saudis got on a plane, there was a very big accident.
Look.
Look.
Holy shit.
September 11th, 2001.
This segment.
It was 30 a.m.
No, come on.
There's been a lot of Saudis that have gotten on planes since then.
All right.
That was a one-off.
All right.
No, no, no.
This is great.
As you were saying?
So as I was saying, Gabe is in tears.
Women pilots love it.
What was I even going to say?
Oh, yeah.
Women pilots.
A lot of airline accidents.
There's a lot of nervousness going on in the airline industry.
Look, one thing that I will say is, yes, there have been like that accident that happened in DC was the first time.
Further one in Alaska.
Yeah, but hold on.
Just hold on.
Look.
What the media will do, I want everybody to pay attention to this.
What the media will do is they understand there's a lot of fear around flying in aviation.
A lot of what you will see will be sensationalized.
They will report every single incident that they can find to get clicks.
Now, admittedly, one thing that is serious is there is a lot of staffing issues with air traffic controllers.
And that should be cause for concern for the future because there's a lot of safety that could be at risk.
And a lot of avoidable accidents, like what we saw as a result of staffing and also, I don't know if you guys know this, but Reagan National Airport is incredibly complex airspace, incredibly difficult to fly into.
A lot of pilots need additional training to fly into those airports.
So it was an accident that was bound to happen at that point.
Can I admit something?
I did something shameful.
What'd you do?
On one of my flights home.
What'd you do?
You masturbated in the bathroom.
No.
Because you thought you were going to die.
We were flying high.
I've never done that, by the way.
New Orleans, early in the morning.
And I noticed out over the left window, there's a plane about a thousand yards to the left.
Same flight pattern.
Yep.
And over the course of 30 minutes, it kept getting closer and closer and closer until like probably 50 yards away.
No way.
That's what you thought.
That's what you thought.
Yeah, definitely.
Do you know how far 50 yards is?
Half a football field.
Yeah, it's still too close.
How many miles would that be?
Not even a football.
I'll let you.
I'll let you have a miles.
50 yards, 50 yards.
I'll let you have it.
It was very close.
I could make out the individual windows.
Okay.
I flagged down the flight attendant.
Oh, my God.
But to begin the flight, you want to hear the crazy thing.
The pilot gave a spiel where he's like, I know things are crazy in aviation right now, but I want to let you know that I was in the Army National.
He gave a spiel?
A long spiel about his qualifications.
Okay, but that makes it worse because the Army was responsible for the last one.
And I'm thinking this guy is overcompensating A, and maybe things are so fucking crazy that this is standard procedure.
So I flagged down the flight and I was like, hi, thank you.
I'd love some almonds in the water.
And I don't know if you know this, but that's really fun.
That is awesome.
What is she saying?
She was like, oh, thank you.
Like, yeah, here are your almonds.
It freaked me out because I was right in front of the wing and that plane dipped like that.
And then it went down and under us like that.
And I couldn't see it anymore.
And I was like, this?
Yeah.
Like, face pressed up against glass, like a dog.
So this is what you do next time.
But I probably saved that flight.
You get box cutters and you take control of your flight.
No, no, no.
No, this is what you do next time.
All right.
You download an app called Flight Radar, not sponsored.
Flight radar, not a sponsor.
Download it.
You can find your flight and then look around your plane and you'll be able to see that aircraft and see what altitude you're at and what altitude that one is at and the separation that you're getting.
I'm going to be honest, it's the closest I've ever seen a plane get to another plane in air.
Yeah.
You know what I makes me nervous?
Sometimes you'll do simultaneous approaches.
Oh.
And sometimes you'll be one will be like, they'll both be coming at each other and then they'll both bank like this.
It's fucking nerve-wracking.
We have...
Oh.
How close?
Yeah.
A thousand feet.
That's how close it is.
It was close, bro.
Yeah.
It was close.
So I will comfort you by saying that all commercial aircraft have something called TCAS, traffic collision avoidance system.
That it's basically a radar on both of the planes.
Yeah, below a certain altitude.
They don't work.
But he was at Cruz.
Yeah, below a certain altitude.
It's what happened at the other.
That's why the helicopter.
That's why the helicopter hit the.
I learned that actually.
I was like, where was the TCAS?
But anyway, but you can see they're like little boxes and it shows.
And then if you're about to hit, it'll tell one plane to descend and one plane to.
I wonder if that TCAS system was pinging.
It goes traffic, traffic, descend, descend.
I wonder if our cockpit, because bro, I'm telling you, that motherfucker was close.
Traffic, traffic, clear of conflict.
Visibility Limited Tweets Explained00:14:51
It's like I do want to point out something here, by the way.
You alluded to it a little bit briefly, but air traffic control is significantly understaffed.
It's gotten worse and worse since the Reagan era where he gutted the union.
We need more.
We need air traffic controllers.
I'll do it.
And what's interesting about it is that...
That would be a perfect job.
I got a great air traffic control voice.
At a time when there's like significant understaffing, Donald Trump is looking to gut the existing labor force of the air traffic controls by claiming that they're all intellectually disabled.
That's what his argument has been.
He's like, we're hiring people who are mentally ill to do air traffic control.
Well, you want neurodivergence doing air traffic control.
Yeah, you want maximum offices.
You're not going to be able to control with the control.
I'll be honest.
Focus high enough.
You may be half joking.
No, I'm serious.
But one of my friends that I grew up with, he's now a pilot, but he could fly a plane at like 13.
I almost wouldn't trust people without autism to do air traffic.
Yeah, control.
Yeah, you got it.
You should be doing more neurodivergency hiring.
Yeah.
Yeah, you got to have them in there.
Is Trump also saying they're all DEI?
Oh, yeah.
Which DEI, for those at home, it means they're not white and a man, right?
Is that they're not white.
They're not a man.
And now they're saying they're adding accessibility onto it too.
So that means they're like disabled somehow.
Oh.
So I'm famously higher because of all the learning disabilities.
You'd be a DEI hire.
I'm DEI.
He's DEI because he's gay.
Yeah, I'm a DEI on this.
I'm kind of brown.
I'm Muslim.
And also have, I guess, people say I have some kind of neurodivergence.
I don't know.
No, you definitely.
Okay.
But yeah, it's gotten weird.
It's a future podcast to DEI hires.
Yeah.
It's getting weird out there for sure.
But I saw the, it's getting out of hand.
DEI is getting out of it.
The funniest shit I saw was.
Austin is on board with Trump.
He's like, it's getting out of hand.
No, no.
Too many black people.
I think we need more diversity.
But again, the funniest thing I saw on Twitter was whatever, X. Fucking, anyway, was there was a Japan Airlines plane that collided with Delta.
And I saw, I thought I'd see it and I saw it.
People saying it was DEI.
They were calling the Japanese pilots DEI.
Japan was hiring DEI Japanese pilots.
Why are they not hiring white guys on all Nippon Air?
What the hell?
The last samurai.
Tom Cruise is a Japanese planner.
It is ridiculous.
Speaking of Twitter, we have to also obviously address the elephant on Twitter, Kanye West.
He's been on a convoluted, long, extended crash album.
I, for one of the first times in my life, saw that tweet last night and had to do like a wee wee.
Which one?
The not the swastika shirt?
Oh, because he did multiple.
That's why multiple crashed ass.
Listen, they were all equally Kanye West crazy, but the swastika shirt for me is a new one.
No, what the heck?
Wait, this is wait awesome.
Wait, it's all porn.
What's tweeting porn?
What the?
Wait, is that recent?
So for those of you watching the podcast, we're finding out in real time that an hour ago, he just started tweeting.
Wait, no, it's it him?
It's him.
He must have gotten hacked.
Wait, who is the who is having sex?
Wait, I don't know.
Can we get a face on that?
That's a big.
No, that's not him.
Wait, I love when.
Oh, Mari Lana Rhodes.
Oh my God.
Is Lana Rhodes?
Is it him?
Oh, my God.
He retweeted the ADL.
Or no, he retweeted someone saying, oh, my God.
ADL.
Elon being a Nazi is good.
Kayen being a Nazi is bad.
Make it make sense.
The ADL is a joke.
Says, whoa, DeRay?
DeRay said that?
That's crazy.
Okay.
Kanye's rants are what David Schwimmer is upset about.
Lamau, how out of touch with reality?
What do you mean?
How is that out of touch with reality?
Everyone who's normal should be upset with Kaya West saying Heil Hitler over and over again and saying that he loves Adolf Hitler.
So, okay, so what is Elon saying about this?
Is he just going to let it go?
I don't know what is going on with.
Like, is he going to ban him?
He can't ban him, right?
Because he's just like...
I mean, he could.
He'd very easily ban him.
I know, but he's stuck on this.
He's free speech.
I'm just baffled that he tweeted like 13 porn kimphs.
Yeah.
That is.
Wait, which one's the visibility limited one?
Bitches deserve to get slapped sometimes.
That's a weird one to like out of all of the things that he's saying, it's interesting to see which ones get visibility limited.
Oh.
Bitches get away with saying anything to these F-word ass N-words.
Bitches fuck behind your back.
Bitches really be wanting to be with someone else half the time.
Bitches only pick their partner based on money.
Bitches choose money over dick size.
10,000 likes.
Cool.
That's cool.
Real rape is different.
Wait, what?
That one didn't even get wait.
Real rape is different than some attractive and competent bitch wearing tight ass pants to work and keep it receipts to extort their boss.
I'm like, wait, 29,000 likes.
That didn't get rate limited.
Interesting.
What the heck?
He is.
It's sad.
It's sad.
The Muslims.
There were Muslims getting assaulted and not let on airplanes after 9-11.
Meanwhile, magically, no Jews showed up to work that day.
So who are the real?
He's doing 9-11.
Jews did 9-11 conspiracies.
No, bro.
Yeah.
How many likes did that one have?
He also in between.
That got 44,000 likes.
Come on.
So it's an interesting.
It's an interesting dynamic.
So every time he goes on these like vile anti-Semitic rants, he will then also, I don't know if I'm excited that he doesn't tie this back to like Palestine or if I'm like confused by it.
He always then will turn around and say something about like Iran.
Like he'll say something negative about Iran or this time he says something positive about NBS.
Sometimes you have to do it like the Pharaohs.
Make your Jews work for you, but watch them as close as you can.
Whip your Jews.
What in the fuck?
Visibility limited.
How many likes?
40,000 likes.
Dude, what is happening?
This dude is...
Okay, let's dial back from finding the humor in this.
This man is having a full psychotic.
That's the thing.
He's just insane.
He's brain broken completely.
So here's what I think.
Okay.
He's just like, no, it's not just all of this.
Yeah, if he didn't have the billions of dollars, he'd be like that naked guy on the New York sidewalk.
Button up your daughter.
So what I think about all this is that he's doing this partially because Satan said you won't see my dick.
Like, what the fuck?
That guy is insane.
I think mental illness plays a role in this for sure, obviously.
But having said that, I think this is also because he is incredibly washed and is desperate for attention and is trying to do a buildup for a potential album release.
And I think that because buildup?
Because an album?
No, no, think about it.
For months, he went dark.
Okay.
He did not do this at all.
And then he went and lived in Tokyo and he was basically working on an album.
And he had every opportunity to tweet like this nonstop.
Endlessly, this is not the last time he's done this.
This is not the first time he's done this.
Right.
And I think he just knows that this will garner him attention.
And like a child who, you know, cries and shits in his diapers, he's basically doing this because he wants attention desperately because he can't get it with his music.
So he's just going to, in the lead up to an album, try to garner as much attention as possible.
I don't.
For the lowest common denominator.
That's a bold strategy, Cotton.
Let's see how that plays out for him.
I don't know, man.
This to me screams of a guy who's like fully in the throes of mania.
Oh, for sure.
I mean, he's tweeting like at a rapid clip.
He's tweeting like 20 tweets an hour or something.
Wow.
He's completely, he's completely lost control.
My point is, there's also a secondary reason for why he's doing this.
He has eviscerated whatever kind of like support system he is.
It looks crazy to me.
Remember when this dude went on stage and was like, I'm going to let you finish?
But Beyonce had the best album of the year.
And that was everybody was like, there's no coming back from that, Kanye West.
There's no coming.
Can you imagine if in that moment he grabbed the mic and instead of being like, I'm going to let you finish, he was like, bitches deserve to be struck sometime.
Here's some poor.
Or that he loves Adolf Hitler.
Yeah, I mean, this is multiple times.
He said it last time when he was on.
There was an extended crash out that took place two years prior, if you remember.
And in that process.
What does he say about Louis C.K.?
The GOAT Louis C.K. is funnier than Dave Chappelle.
Did y'all know he wrote Pootie Tang Brilliant?
Wait, scroll down.
He's also talking about Mitch Hedberg.
Mitch Hedgeberg was the most brilliant.
I mean, Mitch Hedgeberg was pretty brilliant.
He was very funny.
R.I.P. Why is he shitting on Dick?
Middle of his adoration for Adolf Hitler he's like, and Mitch Hedberg was pretty cool too.
Why do I target Dave Chappelle?
This is visibility limited tweet with 22 000 likes because y'all think he's speaking for black people when he's really a voice for Jewish agendas.
Now put this.
I'm not going to say those words on stage and let him do his k-word while I name comedians that are way funnier than you that don't have as big a name.
How are you going to call yourself the funniest man on earth right in front of Chris Rock, whose name is actually bigger than yours?
I don't even because like I'm pretty sure Dave Chappelle's friendly.
Yeah, he is.
Oh my God.
My greatest performance art piece thus far is just a swastika that he titled HH01.
99,000 likes.
Cool.
Is it Elon saying shit about this?
Elon has said nothing about this so far, I don't think.
I think he like maybe made a joke about it where he was like.
Look, like, when the fuck is everybody going to wake up?
Like, like, I think everybody's just, like, so numb and passive.
Like, we just like, oh, here, just another day in the United States of America.
When are people, when is it just all going to click?
And we're going to.
That one is rate limited with 129,000 likes.
What's that?
I'm worried about.
They killed Michael Jordan's dad on Father's Day.
They killed my mom after graduation.
Some random number texted my wife saying they knew where my daughter lived.
So for my last 24 hours of expressing my truth, people are threatening to kill my children to silence me.
Look at Bill Cosby's son.
That's why none of these comedians' jokes is funny about the situation no more.
I don't play with these pawn ass like Dave Chappelle made jokes about me, made jokes about my wife, made jokes about the trans community.
He thinks he's so smart.
He thinks shit is a joke.
He's just defending the trans community.
After I brought Sunday service to heal hearts in his hometown after tragedies, he put together the words Palestine and Palisades because he thought it sounded cool.
While people really lost their homes and their lives, he said on SNL, he never wanted a sneaker deal.
When this bleep actually asked me for a sneaker deal, which I, of course, turned down.
Nobody wear no Air Daves, you lanky ass bleep.
Air Daves.
That is kind of funny to say Air Daves.
Well, that's really something.
Oh, look at that.
We need real teachers with real heart and real information.
Yeah.
I do find it interesting that all of these people that exhibit signs of mental distress always go right wing.
There is never a guy who's like, I've lost my mind.
And I think the workers of the world should unite.
I've never seen a motherfucker go, I'm crazy now.
And that's why workers need to seize the means of production.
What the hell?
Why can't we have people with mental illness become left-wingers?
Ted Kaczynski.
No, he wasn't left-wing at all.
He was an anti-communist.
He literally, he openly despised communism.
He was like, I think the biggest problem is communist Jews.
So he was also, again, libertarian, but libertarian right-wing.
He was just anti-industrial revolutionary.
God, that is interesting.
There are no socialist maniacs.
Well, I mean, what are you pointing at me?
What's the fuck?
No, it's crazy.
I'm not pointing at you.
Nobody, like, dude, look at John Fetterman, senator from Pennsylvania, get stroked out, becomes insanely right-wing.
Okay.
Every time someone has, you get fighters who start off in their careers being like big Bernie supporters, and the more they get bludgeoned in the head, the more right-wing they become.
There's another fighter, the Bryce Mitchell guy, who was also another Adolf Hitler fan.
Which is, what is going on?
Why are there so many Adolf Hitler fans?
Why do they feel so comfortable coming out and being like, Adolf Hitler was misunderstood?
Things used to be simple, you know, when Indiana Jones was just killing the fuck out of Nazis.
You Can't Escape America00:03:48
Yeah, we were united on this.
And now America is divided even on this issue where they're like, yeah, maybe Hitler was misunderstood.
It's like, no, no, he wasn't.
He was very obviously a bad dude.
Oh, my God.
Why?
Why?
I just look at the internet and I say, why?
How?
It's just this is the, is this the product of years of lack of funding for higher level education and education across the board?
Yeah.
And people not increasing their material working or material fucking basic material conditions.
Right.
This is what the product is.
Is this what it is?
Desensitization, too.
I just think everybody's so disappointed.
That's the problem.
It's like a shock and awe.
For years and years, okay, while technological developments have created some semblance of prosperity, I think ultimately income and wealth inequality has grown to the same levels that it was, if not worse, than in the gilded age.
Okay.
Like we are now entering like pre-Great Depression era levels of wealth inequality and people obviously sense it.
People see it and they go, everything that I used to enjoy is getting marginally worse and worse.
What the hell's going on?
And when neither side of the political spectrum seemingly wants to address that reality and they just continue business as usual politics, people rely on insane conspiracies to make sense of this structure.
And obviously when someone goes, hey, maybe this is capitalism because we're so supercharged to think like, nah, shut the fuck up.
You're crazy.
Shut up with that nonsense.
No, it's actually the Jews.
That's all trans people.
Yeah, or trans people or Mexicans or Guatemalans or whatever, right?
People just go to those comfortable avenues that kind of tie everything together.
And, you know, if left unaddressed, this is the outcome.
And you got motherfuckers like Elon Musk leaning into it by Sig Heiling on the national stage on the day of the inauguration.
So a lot more people feel comfortable.
And a lot of dummies think like, maybe this is the secret truth.
After all, the wealthiest billionaire on the planet who is the smartest guy is totally on my side.
Yeah.
And he's signaling that this is, you know, an appropriate thing to do.
So other people get on board.
There's also like a lot of people who just want clout and attention and they see people like this get no repercussions for this kind of thing.
So they also lean into it, even if they don't personally believe it.
And there's plenty of people who are convinced that this is the case.
And here we are.
Things are just getting worse and worse and they're going to continue to get worse is my assessment of the situation.
We can't do anything about it.
We're fucked.
I mean, we can go to Brazil.
We can't go to Brazil.
We can go to Brazil.
Yeah, we could.
We can go to Japan.
We could.
Yeah.
The problem is you can't really escape America.
That's the issue.
Well, you can.
No, the no, because like even Japan, right?
I was talking to the Japanese Communist Party guys and I was like, so what's up?
Do you guys like have, do you ever talk about like trans issues at all?
Because it is not a thing in Japan at all, right?
This is not a thing in Japan.
But because their right wing gets their notes from our right wing, they also end up getting into the same like communication spirals that we're arguing about here.
But you have trains and eggs handos there.
That's true.
I mean, that really lessens the blow.
It's a very compelling case that you're making.
Thank you.
There's one place that we could go to escape it, like unironically, but you won't go.
Going to China Right Now00:01:31
China.
I know.
China.
I will go to China.
Yeah.
I'll go now.
I'll go to China.
But you know what?
Going to China right now is like going to Japan in the 90s before the crash.
You know what?
Where else we could escape this madness?
