Speaker 3 You're listening to Comedy Central.

Speaker 3 Kat, do you like that I've been holding these cards the whole time and I not once looked at them? Yeah, not even one time.

Speaker 3 This is how professional I am.

Speaker 3 Hello, and welcome to the precap, where we sit down with this week's daily show host to preview what's coming up and recap some of the news that we might have missed. I'm Kat Radley.

Speaker 3 I'm a writer here at the show, and I'm joined today by the one and only and beautiful Desi Lydek, everybody.

Speaker 3 Good, Addie.

Speaker 3 You're gorgeous. You're looking like a smoke show over here.

Speaker 3 I haven't showered in days. Oh, well, I was going to say something.
I'm picking up on a little, a little whiff over here. But I look good, and that's all that matters.

Speaker 3 You look good, and that's what matters. You know, there's a lot of stuff going on in the news, and we only have one show.
Desi only gets three half hour slots and it's just not enough.

Speaker 3 Sometimes it's not enough and some might say it's too much all at the same time.

Speaker 3 Too much. Depending on who's hosting, it can be too much.
It could be too much.

Speaker 3 Yeah, quick emotional check-in. How are you feeling, Kat?

Speaker 3 A little bloated. Yeah, a little gassy.
Sure. And just a little buzz of anxiety, always below the surface.
Just beneath.

Speaker 3 Real, I don't know about you, but I'm bringing a real woman on the verge energy pretty much every day. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 But other than that, other than that, it's great. Everything's great.
Happy to be here with you. Well, thanks for the check-in.
That was nice. Yeah, you're welcome.
No one asks me how I'm doing.

Speaker 3 One of the biggest stories that thankfully isn't even an American story. It's like a global story was the jewel heist at the Louvre in Paris.
And it's something that we didn't get to.

Speaker 3 get to on this past week's show and I don't think we'll get to it next week. No, probably not.

Speaker 3 It's such a good story. It is such a good story.
It's such a feel-good story. Who doesn't love a good jewelry host?

Speaker 3 There's a whole franchises of beloved movies about this, and you're rooting for the thieves. You kind of are.

Speaker 3 Who do you think?

Speaker 3 Who do you think pulled this off? Like, could this be like a Thalman Louise situation?

Speaker 3 I think, you know, it could be women because people underestimate us, which ends people are so, like, super horny, and we can, like, just kind of find our way into situations. Of course.

Speaker 3 So it very well could be or maybe they had like a woman on the inside to like distract guards or it does feel like I'm not giving them as much credit as sophisticated as it probably was.

Speaker 3 Like yo Broad, go show your tits if we're going to take these jewels.

Speaker 3 They were hot. And there's one thing we know.
There's a couple of hot ladies.

Speaker 3 No, this is so impressive. It took them seven minutes to pull this off in broad daylight.
Yeah. Like I don't, it takes me longer than seven minutes to walk into my kitchen and grab a snack.
I can't.

Speaker 3 Like I walk in and and I'm like, what did I come in here for? And then I diddle around for a while. Like seven minutes to pull off this whole thing top to bottom.

Speaker 3 And I guess they came in with like full, they dressed like they were workers. Right? Yeah, they posed as like construction workers and just like pulled up like we're here to do

Speaker 3 a construction job. Came with real equipment.
Yeah.

Speaker 3 And I, it just, it proves the fact that you throw a hard hat on and you can get away with anything. Yeah.
Hard hats can get you far in life. Yeah.
I mean, not in America, like as a real job, but

Speaker 3 get away with a lot of things. For schemes and scams, they're great.
Really great. And you know, the jewels will probably pay back the rental of the construction equipment.
So

Speaker 3 they're not going to lose any money on this. That's right.
So I think they were worth like

Speaker 3 $200 million, $100 million or $200 million.

Speaker 3 Something, maybe $102 million, something like that. Kat, we are in the wrong game.
We got to get in on this high scheme. I was thinking, I bought, so these earrings I'm wearing right now.

Speaker 3 Did you get them from the Louvre?

Speaker 3 I got them from the Louvre from the Louvre I actually got them at LaGuardia airport yeah I was you know I was on oh actually it was when we were like flying to do the conventions when we were going to chicago last year for the conventions and I just realized I just didn't pack any jewelry or earrings because I just don't and I was just going through the Kate they have a beautiful LaGuardia airport gorgeous renovation they had a little Kate Spade shop I bought two pairs of Kate Spade earrings in LaGuardia airport new I was just like, oh, I guess, because I was like, who's buying jewelry in the airport?

Speaker 3 I was like, oh, I am. Because I wanted to have earrings to wear.
Well, they look great. Thank you.
And they're some of my favorite earrings. So thank you, LaGuardia.

Speaker 3 I'm going to have to make a trip down to LaGuardia and get my earrings. I do all my shopping at LaGuardia.

Speaker 3 By the way, this podcast is brought to you by LaGuardia Airport.

Speaker 3 Not the flight service, but their retail is excellent. Flights, disaster.
Do not

Speaker 3 fly right now.

Speaker 3 So, segue, speaking of a brazen heist. Oh.

Speaker 3 That was Desi's segue. She thought of that.

Speaker 3 Let's talk about Trump wanting $230 million from the Justice Department. Oh.

Speaker 3 Something we did talk about on the show, but it's something that's going to keep going until we find out whether he gets the $230 million.

Speaker 3 I mean, who doesn't want $230 million from the Justice Department? I do too.

Speaker 3 I do. Like, can we all get $230 million from the Justice Department? I'll sue them.

Speaker 3 Like, because if it's about him being, like, damaged by them and, like, suffering injustice, I think every American citizen could make a case that we've been hurt by the Justice Department more than he.

Speaker 3 Yeah. Like, he's president now.
You're fine, dude.

Speaker 3 It's so, the whole thing is so confusing to me. Like, is he, he's suing them, but in turn, is it like he's suing himself? Like, should we all be suing ourselves

Speaker 3 in this? Like, should I be suing myself for $230 million?

Speaker 3 I mean, do I have to have $230 million to sue myself? Because if so, I probably can't.

Speaker 3 You're going to, oh, fuck, I have to clean bankruptcy now because I sued myself.

Speaker 3 He's like, he's accomplished what every man has always tried to do. Oh, I'd really love to be able to sue myself, but you got to move a couple of ribs to be able to do that.

Speaker 3 Okay, I wish I thank you for that joke cat but i i'm now envisioning something i never wanted to picture in my life i'm so sorry it's uh phrased in your memory i it's just so it's so shocking like every day it's just another piece of shocking news that he just thinks he can get away with this stuff and somehow he is yes he's getting everything he wants he's like at this point he's not even president he's like a bridezilla like he's just like this is what i want and everyone has to do as i say and like want it it now.

Speaker 3 Yeah. And like the ballroom that he's building as well.
Like he pulls out the plans for the ballroom at every chance he can get.

Speaker 3 It's so that seeing that foot, it is the most perfect physical representation of what he's doing to America. And it's so disheartening to watch.

Speaker 3 Just tearing it down. Also, leave it to Trump to be like, you know what?

Speaker 3 East Wing needs a little facelift. It's not fresh enough for me.
It's too old.

Speaker 3 Can the White House just have character and age gracefully with respect?

Speaker 3 Maybe it has a few laugh lines here and there. It gives it character.

Speaker 3 It's wisdom is what we cherish about the White House. It doesn't need to look like every other house on the street.

Speaker 3 Yeah. You just like, leave it to him to objectify the buildings.
Like, I wouldn't fuck this building right now. It needs.
We got to make this wing more fuckable. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 3 So we filmed this show here in New York City. Desi and I both live in Manhattan and

Speaker 3 ICE has finally come to New York. It's kind of been something we

Speaker 3 knew was gonna happen eventually. It happened just this week.
And as you can imagine, like every other city, every city has citizens who have stepped up big time and really, you know, fought back.

Speaker 3 That's right. And New Yorkers, no one really does it quite like New Yorkers.
Like we have really risen to the occasion

Speaker 3 are ready to step up to ice and get them out of the city. And there was one thing you saw in particular that you...
Yeah, this New York is not fucking around.

Speaker 3 Check out this woman in the polka dot dress. Punk as fuck.
Look at this. Look at the heels.
Perfect, like polished, professionally dressed, not fucking around. The double bird.
Yeah.

Speaker 3 Not one bird, the double bird. Full dress blazer heels.
This tote bag on the shoulder

Speaker 3 I mean this this woman is my hero this is the kind of energy that we all need to be having right now and it really is like leave it I mean men have too but women in particular have been really stepping up and you know putting their bodies physically in harm's way like not being afraid to get up in the face of these ICE agents and It really, you know, they say the cliche of like the everyday heroes who, you know, stepping up, but this really is the time when it's just people on the street

Speaker 3 who are standing up because it has to be. Their leaders aren't doing anything.
Yeah. That's absolutely right.
And she, this woman got all these other people involved. And New York just really, like,

Speaker 3 I almost had tears in my eyes watching. Like, it just was really powerful.
And it just feels like this is what needs to be happening right now. It's on everybody.

Speaker 3 And I can't even, like, I don't wear heels anymore ever because I can't even walk in them. The fact that she's like pushing up against this giant dude and and I'm like oh

Speaker 3 fucking around yeah this woman is the hero of the week so she's a total badass New York's not fucking around because we're also used like we're New Yorkers we're outside on the streets every day whereas like people in other cities that aren't as much like walkable cities or public transportation cities are getting in and out of their cars but we are like the sidewalks and the streets is where we live.

Speaker 3 So if we see ice agents on the streets, like that is our turf. You cannot in New York City ignore what's happening around you.

Speaker 3 You are forced to interact with other people and you have to have a sense of community. Just walk on the sidewalk, you are existing with other people.

Speaker 3 So like, this is not surprising that this is happening in New York. I've seen people lose their shit for much less than price.
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 3 For opening up a tuna sandwich on the subway, which rightfully so.

Speaker 3 Yeah, no, that person is a threat to society. They should get taken down to the ground.
Yeah.

Speaker 3 There's another hero this week. Yeah, another female hero.
Another female hero. Set it up.
Elizabeth Warren.

Speaker 3 And these are, by the way, these are two stories that we probably won't get to on the show.

Speaker 3 I don't think there's any way we will cover this. Too much time will probably have gone by, but we just wanted to saber in this moment.
Elizabeth Warren made a little bit of a slip. Or did she?

Speaker 4 Peaceful protest is patriotic. Holding the floor to protest the Trump administration's lawlessness is patriotic.
Standing up for what is right, that's patriotic.

Speaker 4 And I am proud to join my friend Jeff Merkley in saying this part out loud.

Speaker 5 Donald Trump is not a king. He will never be a king.

Speaker 4 And America does not miss out. She's not,

Speaker 3 she didn't miss a beat.

Speaker 3 Like she just stoneface kept going. And the fact that

Speaker 3 Like, I do think to me, it looks like it was a slip-up, which makes you think,

Speaker 3 girl, she is calling him Donald Cunt all the time.

Speaker 3 Like, she wakes up in the morning. Morning, Donald Cunt.
Goes to bed at night. Good night, Donald Cunt.
Like, this is part of her

Speaker 3 vernacular. This is not the first time that that has left her lips.
She'll be like at a baptism and be like, well, you know, the president, Donald Cunt. And like.
It 100%.

Speaker 3 She's just like, oh, I've been saying this too much.

Speaker 3 It's so good.

Speaker 3 The fact that she, I kind of thought when I read the the quick headline about this, I thought that she must have just like said it but kept on going so that you'd have to go back and really listen hard to see, is that what she said or did it just sound like that?

Speaker 3 Oh no, she said it and then kind of corrected herself. Yeah.
Because it's not like you might say Donald and then like another T word.

Speaker 3 Like she had to inject a whole new consonant into his name that has not been there before. That is a real Freudian.
Donald Kunt is rolling off her tongue every day and does have a nice ring to it.

Speaker 3 Not all heroes wear cakes. Sometimes they wear purple blazers.
Purple blazers.

Speaker 3 Sometimes they have a closet full of three-quarter length sleeve blazers that they wear every day. That's right.
I was thinking, too, that, you know, Donald Trump has been calling her Pocahontas

Speaker 3 for a decade now.

Speaker 3 And

Speaker 3 she gets, she should get one free Donald Cunt. Like, she's had to withstand that.
Well, now, how many do you think she should get? I think more than one

Speaker 3 share. Let's say he's probably done maybe 300 Pocahontas.
I was just going to say somewhere between

Speaker 3 a 300 and 500 range. Yeah, because did your brain go I was like 100? No, it's not.
No, it's more than that. Not as much as 1,000.
Not as much as 1,000. That would be absurd.

Speaker 3 Yeah, like a 300 to 500 he's probably done, either tweeted or said it. Which has to warrant.
Now, the C word is a powerful word, but I think that would warrant her at least, what, like

Speaker 3 97. Oh, I was going to say five.
Oh, okay. All right.
We're in different places.

Speaker 3 I mean, the middle. Let's say, like, she gets 51 Donald cunts.

Speaker 3 51 Donald Kuntz deal. Okay.
And not a cunt more. Yep.
You get 50 more. Use them wisely, Elizabeth.
Are we going to lose our advertisers? Do we have advertisers for this podcast? Not for this episode.

Speaker 3 Not for this episode. Okay, good, good, good, good, good.
The other ones, oh my God, we got McDonald's, Nike. These are like, you know what? We owe them money for airing.

Speaker 3 We'll pay you to listen to this. Yeah.
As soon as we sue ourselves, you guys will get your money.

Speaker 3 We were talking about ice okay so this other ice story which is pretty funny is that uh it came out that a bunch of ice recruits can't do sit-ups which is another story that we didn't get to this week Maybe we can squeeze it in next week, but probably not.

Speaker 3 But

Speaker 3 it's been a big issue. They are trying to recruit.
They can't because they aren't meeting their physical fitness standards.

Speaker 3 It's so funny to me that they came in so hard with the military being like, no fatties. And then ICE is like, maybe you can do a sit-up or you don't have to do a sit-up.

Speaker 3 We'll take anyone.

Speaker 3 We just want bodies in the streets. Yeah.
That's what it's it is so funny because Pete Hexeth did just do that whole big

Speaker 3 speech about it and Christy Noam is now like yeah Ice agents need to be strong too but I feel like Pete Hegseth and Christy Noam are finally figuring out what it's like to be like a single woman trying to date men like

Speaker 3 I just can't get it all, can I? Like either I can find ones that are racist enough, but they aren't physically fit.

Speaker 3 Or I I can find ones that are physically fit, but they don't want to tackle Venezuelan grandmothers in the street. So, like, why can't I just find the right man?

Speaker 3 Like, is this a Netflix rom-com that we need to see? Maybe they could just take a break from their duties and give us the rom-com that America needs.

Speaker 3 Just like Christy Noam, like, just swiping, looking for the right guy. Like, ah, are there enough swastikas in this profile and abs? Oh, my God.

Speaker 3 Dreamboat.

Speaker 3 This is the spin-off from Nobody Wants This that America's been asking for. It's like, nobody wants this either.
Nobody really wants this. Except for these two people.
Yeah.

Speaker 3 So, great. I support not being able to recruit ICE agents.
Yeah.

Speaker 3 To be fair, sit-ups are hard. That's true.
They have a real hard time with sit-ups.

Speaker 3 What kind of sit-up do you think? Like, is it the kind where someone holds your feet down? That's a great thing. You know, like in middle school, we're like, that's a bit of a dinner.

Speaker 3 Yeah, that's an assist, right? Yeah. That makes a sit-up easier.
Yeah, it's harder when you don't have someone holding your feet.

Speaker 3 Yeah, I mean, I would think that they would make it as hard as possible, and you got to be able to, but I, you know, I don't know.

Speaker 3 I mean, I also feel like if they can't do sit-ups, that's probably for the best. Like, great.
If you're going to be out there, let's find the least physically fit people. Absolutely.

Speaker 3 To slow them down a little bit. You just give them, like, one push.
so that they're like then on their back stuck like a turtle and they just like can't get up again. Great.
That problem solves. Yeah.

Speaker 3 yeah okay yeah keep keep reporting or recruiting those shitty ices wait i think we're on to something okay so another

Speaker 3 there's so much news these are all stories that we probably won't get to yeah um caroline levitt

Speaker 3 the white house um press secret press secretary um she says in quotes yeah she recently texted a reporter asked her a legitimate question about like ukraine right and And her response to that question via text was, because he said, oh, who authorized or who picked Budapest?

Speaker 3 Right.

Speaker 3 So his question was like, who picked Budapest? And her response was, your mom did.

Speaker 3 Okay. Thoughts.
Okay. I have to tell you, in this moment, I found so much more respect.
for her. This made me actually kind of love her.
Yeah.

Speaker 3 That's a baller response. Yeah.
And it's kind of underutilized when you're an adult. Say your mom hate.
Yeah, you say it all the time in junior high, elementary school.

Speaker 3 But then you grow up and you become an adult and you don't say your mom enough. And I think we need to bring it back.

Speaker 3 And I think the job that needs to start with is the... press secretary of the United States.

Speaker 3 Absolutely.

Speaker 3 Absolutely. Be a role model for the rest of us.

Speaker 3 I will take that over her lying through her teeth and saying something, a blatant lie, as though it's an actual fact. Absolutely.

Speaker 3 Like an immature response is better than just lying to the American public.

Speaker 3 Hands down. Hands down.
Here's the part that rubbed me the wrong way though is that she, do we only know about this because she texted out the screenshot? Yeah, because it was her that shared it.

Speaker 3 I think it was her that, I think she shared it. Like she was so proud of her comeback and being like, your mom.
That felt a little thirsty to me. Right.

Speaker 3 Cause that's, she's like, oh, look, I finally told a good joke. Yeah.
How do you know? She's unfazed by this. Like, she,

Speaker 3 she does, this isn't even a blip on her radar of like the bullshit she does all day. Not at all.
I would have really loved if the reporter just texted back, my mom's dead.

Speaker 3 And then just see what, see what she says. What's she going to do to that? She'd be like, good.

Speaker 3 Right?

Speaker 3 She's burning in hell as she's polishing the cross around her neck. Yeah.
Good.

Speaker 3 Tell your mom I said hi.

Speaker 3 In hell. What a lovely woman.
What a lovely woman. I would love it if that is how she takes these

Speaker 3 pressers from here on out, that she's just like everything is like, gay wad says what?

Speaker 3 Yeah. Nothing but elementary school.
Just like come back king. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 3 I mean, we're probably not far from that happening. No.
Like

Speaker 3 dangerously close. Yeah.
I mean, she already did it once. What's to stop her from doing it behind the microphone? Oh, God.

Speaker 3 She's one of those people, too, that like every time they talk, you just like, you didn't know it was possible, but you hate them a little bit more. Like, it's like her, Mike Johnson, JD Vance.

Speaker 3 Like, every time they speak, it's just like, oh, wow, I like you so much less now. And I was already at the bottom, dude.
Like, it's just, they're so smug. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 It's reaching a whole new level right now. That's why we need more polka dot dress women.
Yeah, we need, and we needed a few more Elizabeth Warren slip-ups. Yeah.
This is a fun story. Kim Kardashian

Speaker 3 showed up to, where was the event? I think, oh, okay. Oh, the Academy Museum gala.
Right. It's so weird.

Speaker 3 I didn't get an invite for this. Oh, no.
Is that weird? You know, it must be because the government shutdown is like affecting postal workers a little bit. Yes.
It probably got lost in the middle.

Speaker 3 The letter didn't come in the mail. Because there's no way you were

Speaker 3 invited. I mean, I would think I would be.
Yeah. Right? Of course.
Yes. The Academy.
I'm I'm sorry. Emmy award winner Desi Lydeka not getting an invite to an Academy Museum Gala.
This is very strange.

Speaker 3 Very strange. They know how much I love movies.
Yes. Yeah.

Speaker 3 And your favorite movie is? Airplane.

Speaker 3 The Academy Award-winning airplane.

Speaker 3 So Kim Kardashian

Speaker 3 wore this outfit covering her face, caused a big, caused a big hoopla online. People were talking about it.
What were your initial

Speaker 3 eyes?

Speaker 3 I love this look. I think it's so brilliant.
I think this is the way that you can get out of going to any event that you don't want to be at.

Speaker 3 Work conference, you send someone else, hire them like a task rabbit situation. You hire them to just show up in that gown, put a name tag on.
You don't have to go. No, they won't know.
No.

Speaker 3 High school reunion?

Speaker 3 Send someone in this costume. They never know.
People are like, Kim Karashi's at my high school reunion. What?

Speaker 3 I think it's brilliant. Yeah, especially for women, like you don't have to do your hair, you have to do your makeup.
Although, okay, do you think she still had a full face of makeup underneath?

Speaker 3 I mean, knowing Kim, yes. Right? 100%.

Speaker 3 Yes.

Speaker 3 But it's, yeah, it probably makes getting ready easier.

Speaker 3 So, and also, like, sometimes going to those events, you, not that I would know, because I'm, I'm, as we know, I wasn't invited, but going to any social event, you can, you can be overwhelmed by anxiety.

Speaker 3 And if you have anxiety, you don't want to talk to people, people, you just want to kind of have a minute to yourself, that's a great signal. It says, do not interact with you.

Speaker 3 No one's going up to initiate conversation with you like that. And you can make all the facial expressions you want when you're like get stuck talking to someone you don't want to like, oh God.

Speaker 3 Some guy comes up and tries to explain crypto and you're like, oh.

Speaker 3 You're like, I can hear you groaning still. Like, oh, oh.

Speaker 3 I thought this was soundproof. Yeah.
The only thing is, though, with this, like, you know it is her because she has the most distinct body. I can say this, I'm not objectifying her.

Speaker 3 She's a distinct ass, and she wants you to know she has a distinct ass, right? Like, she's proud of that. She's very proud of that.
Like you and I could go. Oh, she should be.

Speaker 3 Like, no one knows our butts. No.
Like, we could send someone else in our place, and they'd be like, I guess that's Desi's butt. Yeah.
I don't know. She looks like it could be.

Speaker 3 I haven't really seen it that much now that I'm thinking about it. Never been interested to look down there, so I'm going to say, yeah.

Speaker 3 If you know what Desi's butt looks like, please let us know in the comments. Let us know in the comments.

Speaker 3 Actually, don't. I don't want to read those comments.

Speaker 3 Again, please let us know what you think of Desi's butt in the comments. Don't, that's not necessary.
Don't listen to Kat. Don't do that.

Speaker 3 There are some fun stories actually happening next week that

Speaker 3 maybe we can get to.

Speaker 3 A fun thing coming out.

Speaker 3 People is announcing the sexiest man alive, People magazine, is coming out next week. Something that they're still doing.

Speaker 3 I I love that democracy is crumbling and they're like, we're still going to do this, okay? We have our priorities.

Speaker 3 This must come out every year for the last 345 years. Do you have a pick for sexiest man alive? Well, I mean, okay, I do think the pit has been huge.
So

Speaker 3 if I was a betting woman, I would say,

Speaker 3 but I'm not. I'm not in the NBA.

Speaker 3 Story we'll get to. Topical reference.
I would say, if I was a betting woman, I would say Noah Wiley has a very, very good chance, right? Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 3 But I'm kind of rooting for Pedro Pascal or even better, our very own Pedro Pascal, George Guntas. That's right.

Speaker 3 If you guys don't know, George Guntas is one of our members of our crew, the lighting guy. And he won a Pedro Pascal look-alike contest earlier this year.

Speaker 3 And it was impressive. You know? He looks a lot like Pedro Pascal.
And it's so funny. I never saw it about him.
I never saw that until George, we never thought you were remotely attractive.

Speaker 3 Never looked twice. Never twice.
Not even interested in the least. No, he grew that mustache and he looks so much like yeah.
It is. And he's also a really nice guy.
And Pedro is too.

Speaker 3 Pedro has been like stepping up on social media of like speaking out for people. You've probably noticed like he's all over like trans rights, LGBTQ rights, immigrant rights.

Speaker 3 Like he's just fucking all over the place. And women are creaming their pants for it, pedro.

Speaker 3 All right. Nothing like a sexy man who isn't a pussy.

Speaker 3 Anyway.

Speaker 3 So Halloween is on Friday. Halloween is coming up next week.
And Halloween is always fun in the city because New York is, I mean, Halloween is kind of big everywhere.

Speaker 3 I think social media has played a big part in just making costumes and decorations more of a thing. But there's always a big Halloween parade in New York.
People dress up.

Speaker 3 And we're known for our Halloween dog parade, which was last week.

Speaker 3 And that's just like a nice, bright, fun piece of news that we did mention really quickly on the show with John this week. And just

Speaker 3 stop it. Just cute little dogs and costumes.

Speaker 3 God, I wish this was the only news story. God, I love.
Do you like anything more than a dog in a wig? It is really adorable. I love it.

Speaker 3 I mean, a baby in a wig. Baby in a wig.
Babies and dogs in wigs. Oh, my God.

Speaker 3 It's pretty great. I wouldn't hate if we did three days of shows on this.

Speaker 3 One more big story that could be coming to the surface next week is Trump. We know Trump is bailing out Argentina with $20 billion.

Speaker 3 And another thing he might be doing is importing Argentinian beef. But this beef might potentially be diseased and contaminated with...
hoof and mouth disease possibly yet he's still thinking

Speaker 3 he's still thinking he might

Speaker 3 he might import it.

Speaker 3 So, what do you think? We could get some diseased Argentinian beef next week. Oh, that just sounds delicious.
It's really, it's making me hungry. You know, our

Speaker 3 diseased Argentinian beef. I love diseased beef.
Yummy. There's nothing I love more than putting my mouth around some diseased Argentinian beef.
And if you call now for the low price of $10.99,

Speaker 3 you can get some delicious, delectable, diseased Argentinian beef. Don't check the comments every discussion.

Speaker 3 You know, RFK is like, diseased me?

Speaker 3 Hurry up, let's get on that. It's like, no, we're, I thought we were only importing diseased beef.
Isn't that what we're supposed to be doing now? Yeah.

Speaker 3 Oh, this is, this is, of course, of course. Yeah, of course.
It's indicative of our, you know, like the FDA, all of the checks and balances.

Speaker 3 that do check, you know, inspection of our food and food safety. Those are

Speaker 3 depleted as well. And this is just kind of one more example of how all of these health regulations are disappearing.
Just one step closer to becoming a vegan.

Speaker 3 You know what? If ever there were a case, if ever there were a time to go straight vegan, now would be a great time. It's like, are you doing it for the morality?

Speaker 3 No, I just don't want hoof and mouth disease. Is that too much to ask for? Yeah.

Speaker 3 I just don't want cell manila. Oh, God.
So that's a fun thing to look to look out for, everybody. Yeah.

Speaker 3 Enjoy those Halloween burgers this weekend. That's a thing people do, right? Grill your Halloween burgers.

Speaker 3 So

Speaker 3 we end the precap with daily show and tell.

Speaker 3 This is a segment where we just got to talk about something that we've watched, read, listened to, been talking about with our friends, family, anything that's on our mind.

Speaker 3 It doesn't have to be something from the news or politics, just something fun that you've been thinking about. Show and tell.
Okay, so I have less of a show and tell and more of a show and ask.

Speaker 3 Okay, you're breaking the rules already. Yeah, I'm just busting it.
I'm a rule breaker. What can I say?

Speaker 3 I apparently... am in group seven.
Oh. I don't know.
Are you in, do you know if you're in group seven? I am definitely not in group seven because I barely use TikTok.

Speaker 3 Okay, I don't either, but it made its way to threads and I believe Blue Sky. So I was informed I am a member of group seven and I need to know what this means.
Well, we can look it up.

Speaker 3 I did look it up before this podcast and it is

Speaker 3 because

Speaker 3 I am not as in on the viral trends. I appreciate that you did research for this.
I did research for this. Thank you.
You're welcome.

Speaker 3 Because I really just plopped my ass, my unrecognizable ass right in the seat the ass that no one no one knows no one knows

Speaker 3 so this um singer Sophia James she was an American Idol season 18

Speaker 3 finalist or winner of course she posted videos and she posted seven different videos and she wanted to see like which one

Speaker 3 went actually viral so she was like okay this is my first video group one this is my second year group two and apparently it was the seventh video the group seven video that went the most viral and so everyone who was in the group seven feels like they're like oh we're like the winners we're in like the cool elite group so it just became kind of an inside joke on the internet with her followers and then it being in group seven bled into even like other accounts and other people saying like i'm in group seven okay so is everyone in group seven like did anyone get you're in group four yeah so okay people did people did get one through six

Speaker 3 and it wasn't till group group seven that it reached the most people. Maybe there's people in multiple groups.
But the groups don't mean anything.

Speaker 3 So here's the thing. Nothing on TikTok means anything.
Ah, got it. Got it.
Got it. That's the key.

Speaker 3 That's where I went wrong. Nothing on social media means anything.

Speaker 3 That's where I went wrong. That's how they get you.
They make you think something matters.

Speaker 3 When none of it does. I thought for a brief moment that I maybe had some self-worth and that I was special.
Yep. And that was seen.

Speaker 3 And

Speaker 3 I guess not. I guess I'm just like everyone else.
That's just social media doing its job. It worked.
Great.

Speaker 3 What was your show? What's your show and tell? My show and tell is

Speaker 3 I saw a cool musical recently.

Speaker 3 I saw Bull Durham the movie is now a musical. Is it really? It's regional theater.

Speaker 3 So I happened, my friend Carmen Cusack, she's a brilliant actress. She's in it and I went to see it in New Jersey.
It's at the Paper Mill Playhouse in New Jersey. This isn't meant to be a plug.

Speaker 3 I just really enjoyed the show. It feels like a plug.
You should go see it, but I had never seen the Bull Durham movie. So I just went in totally blind.

Speaker 3 And

Speaker 3 I was like, oh, shit, this is a great show. Really fun.

Speaker 3 But I need to see the movie. And so actually, so my younger brother, Tim, has now moved to New York.
And Bull Durham is apparently one of his all-time favorite movies. So

Speaker 3 we have a date to see it, watch it together this Friday. But it's apparently sweet.
It's a very like sexy movie. It's a pretty, I think it's pretty close to nine and a half weeks.
It's very

Speaker 3 it's I mean, it's like I watched a Randon. Susan

Speaker 3 and Kevin Costner

Speaker 3 and Tim Robbins. Oh, good.
Tim Robbins plays, I guess, the young hot guy in it. Did they fall in love on that movie? Oh, in real life? Susan Randon and Tim Robbins? Oh, I don't know who's going to be.

Speaker 3 That's a good question. Maybe that is.
Alan?

Speaker 3 Alan, look it up. Paging Alan.
Paging Alan. Oh, here he's Googling it.
They met on the set of Bull Durham. Look at that.
Oh, cute. I love that Alan has become our Siri.
Alan, what's the weather today?

Speaker 3 Alan also does kind of sound like a Siri name.

Speaker 3 Alan, what is the weather today?

Speaker 3 They met on the movie. I just think it's funny.
I've seen the musical, but I know nothing else about it. That's hilarious.

Speaker 3 You went backwards. You went backwards.
And I get to watch a sexy movie with my brother up for me. That's going to be

Speaker 3 really not uncomfortable at all. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 3 So that was my fun thing. It's go see the musical or just watch the movie

Speaker 3 with a relative.

Speaker 3 Just bring a little joy to your life. God.
So yeah, that's nice.

Speaker 3 I got to go see it. Yeah, it's great.
Come in. Yeah.
That's all the time we have.

Speaker 3 We need to get to work. I guess we do.
And really just wait for whatever's going to happen this week to unfold. Yeah.
