Hey everybody, thanks for tuning in to ADHP with Doug and Todd. I'm Doug.
1:27
That's Todd. How you doing, Todd? I'm doing good. Doing good. Just been uh just been dinking on on the computer,
1:34
chatting up with people on Messenger and and earlier I was playing around on Suno, so I made a bunch of new songs.
1:42
Oh, nice. Um, did you do anything for the fourth or were you just or were you in mourning
1:47
like a bunch of the rest of us? I was um I was watching Indiana Jones movies.
1:52
Okay, that's not a bad way to spend the time. Um because I wanted to see somebody kicking Nazi ass. So, you know, that's
1:58
why I was watching it. There you go. I like it. And uh we uh we had some thoughts on doing we
2:05
had some different options on Fourth of July stuff, but we ended up just kind of staying home doing a low-key thing. in
2:11
it. Seemed like our neighbors all kind of had a similar idea because it was just a it ended up being kind of a a
2:17
little uh neighborhood fireworks show which was kind of fun. We we had the we had the artillery
2:24
happening here in in my neighborhood. So, uh yeah, that was that was exciting
2:30
for the animals, I'm sure. Yeah, our uh we definitely gave extra
2:35
treats to our cats and uh treated them to a new uh we got a new cat toy uh cat
2:40
uh what do you want to call it? Like a uh that's a a tent tunnel system. Okay.
2:46
So, it's indooroutdoor. So, uh over the weekend we we have a little above ground
2:51
pool set up. So, we uh splashing around in the pool and then we have uh our cats
2:57
are indoor cats. So, we we uh we put one end of it inside the house and then like
3:03
kind of closed the window up around it. Yeah. And then uh stuck out the tunnels and
3:09
the other play areas into the yard and so the cats could come out and hang out in the backyard with us. It was kind of
3:14
fun. Nice. Yeah. No. Uh yeah, it was it was lots of
3:20
artillery going off and a few like sparkler type things and
3:26
what was that? Oh, I'm getting messages from people on a closed messenger on my computer.
3:33
Oh, not from viewers, just from random. No, just like I I sent links out to people. Hey, I'm going live. And they're
3:39
like, oh, I'll I'll check it out here in a little bit, you know. All right, cool. Fair enough. Uh do you have the phone
3:44
number up? Just curious. I do. Do I Hold on. Uh
3:51
the phone this isn't you know we're not we're not doing a live caller focused show like we did last week but we would absolutely
3:57
take any calls if somebody wants to call us actually and I got it working so it actually will ring through. Now I didn't
4:03
I didn't have it enabled to call in uh to my phone. It was uh it wasn't it
4:08
wasn't on do not disturb but it wasn't it wasn't set to actually allow calls to come in. So I got that. But the phone number if
4:15
people want to give a call call in or send a text you can uh 4252437571.
4:27
There you go. So yeah, we'll uh we're actually going to have some topics this week. Uh but it's going to still be more
4:32
of a loose a loosey goosey format. Um but uh
4:39
there has been some issu there's been some some big issues in the news recently. I don't know if you've heard if you paid attention, Todd.
4:45
A little bit. I try. I I'm I'm trying, but at the same time, I'm like,
4:51
if you if you had to pick a top political story this week, what what would you think of this? I mean, you know, the whole like uh the
4:58
bill uh whatever passing through to the president for getting rid of uh uh uh
5:07
Medicare and Medicaid. So, yeah. So, um, so what that got me, so if
5:13
if anybody's listening to this podcast, I imagine they're somewhat up, um, if
5:18
you're listening for the political part of this podcast anyways, you're probably up on what's going on with Trump's bill.
5:24
Um, you know, it's been passed. It's going to go into effect. It it has huge cuts to Medicaid. It uh basically means
5:31
the end of student lunch and student uh a lot of student activities in rural
5:39
areas that didn't already have good strong funding too.
5:44
Yeah, it's it's I'm you know my kids get my kids are both special needs classes
5:50
and they get free breakfasts and free lunch. Um they've had that for the last couple years. Um, I don't know if
5:57
because we're in Washington state thankfully, you know, maybe that's still going to survive based on state based on state programs,
6:04
but you know, we always have the people on the right trying to fight new taxes on our side. So, who knows if we're
6:11
going to be able to fund that kind of stuff going forward. Um, you know, the only the only, you know, hope right now
6:17
is that things aren't going to go to effect right away. Most of the stuff is set to most of the cuts are set to hit
6:25
uh you know after the midterms start hitting in 2020 in late 26 and 27. Um
6:34
so maybe by the time we reverse if we can reverse the Congress in 2026 then
6:40
maybe we have a chance to do something about this before right
6:45
the worst effects go into place. So, the the best thing to do right now is to
6:52
find out who's running for primary in your local elections. Who are you going
6:57
to vote for? Uh, which side are you going to vote in the primary on? Uh, you
7:03
may find in your area you want to register as a Republican to champion a certain Republican that is a non-MAGA,
7:10
non-Trump type of Republican. if you live in a place where going to win,
7:16
you know, there's there's if there's anybody in a primary, you know,
7:21
somebody's probably going to try and stand out by being non-Trump. Um, and this is again, this is for people that
7:27
live in a red district where the Democrat's not going to win anyways. If the Democrat, if you live in a blue
7:32
district, go in and go find your most progressive candidate and support them, like what we saw with with Mum Donnie in
7:38
New York. Yeah. um go, you know, I know we have in Michigan there's a very progressive Senate candidate running in
7:46
the primary hoping to upset the incumbent and or maybe even running for an open seat actually after retirement.
7:52
Um he's actually running for an open seat, so he stands a decent chance. Um other than he's, you know, the progressive candidate and gets labeled a
8:00
socialist and all that. No. Yeah, of course. Yeah. Um but that's, you know, I'm
8:06
talking here. This is kind of leading into the subject that I want to talk about is everything I think about when it comes to this bill because the other
8:12
thing that this bill does is it funds ICE to insane degrees. Uh if if I'm if I'm
8:19
thinking of it offhand, it's their budget was like 17 billion and it's going up to like 68 billion or something
8:25
like that. Some insane number either way. And it's like why? How how are they going to
8:31
spend that money if in in in immigration and customs enforcement if it's not to
8:37
build camps and go mass incarcerate people?
8:43
Yeah. Like what else would they be spending that money for? And so we are literally like we we
8:49
already have the first we already have the first thoughts of a of a concentration camp in America where we
8:56
have the the alligator Alcatraz. Did you hear about this? Yeah, I've heard it called al alligator
9:03
alawitch as well. Yes. Yes. That's what I think I've seen
9:09
that on blue sky and Substack. By the way, since I've been perusing
9:14
Substack more often, I've found that it's just Twitter. Like, I didn't realize it was just Twitter with the
9:20
option to like do your own long blog post on the side. Okay. Like the if you just do the Substack
9:26
stream, it's just classic Twitter. Okay. Which, you know, or Blue Sky. Yeah. Yeah.
9:34
But yeah, I'll uh I got a story here. Let's see which what pick your fancy here. Do you want the Guardian from
9:41
Europe or England? Uh CBS News? Do you want Scripts News? Do you want the
9:46
Feminist Majority Foundation? Or do you want something called Wes? Uh
9:54
it's all the same story. Yeah. So, let's do it. Pick one. Just pick. Which one do you like best?
9:59
It don't matter to me. All right. We're going Feminist Majority Foundation. Okay.
10:06
So alligator Alcatraz raises legal and environmental concerns and a new
10:11
development in the current administration's federal immigration immigration enforcement. A new detention facility has been constructed in
10:18
Florida's swampy everglades nicknamed Alligator Alcatraz by Florida Attorney General James Umer. The facility has
10:25
been established at a decommissioned airport spanning 39 square miles of the
10:31
Florida Everglades. Detainees will be surveyed by more than 200 security cameras and 400 personnel while enclosed
10:38
with 28,000 plus feet of barbed wire. Sounds like a Call of Duty map. Uh it is
10:44
estimated that the detention center will hold a capacity of 5,000 beds by early
10:50
July and will cost 450 million annually.
10:55
Like this is what they're spending money on. Like do you understand what they could do like with for $450 million?
11:02
could keep Medicare. Yeah, they could keep Medicaid. They could they could fund everyone's lunch.
11:16
So, they've been selling merchandise reference referencing alligator Alcatraz. Yeah. On websites and commercial platforms.
11:23
Yeah. It's just all God, it's all got to be a marketing thing. This really is idiocy.
11:28
Just one giant grip uh grip. It's got what plants crave. Yeah. Oh god. Yes. And of course, you
11:35
know, uh Gatorade is from Florida, so Oh, yeah. Naturally, we called it Gatorade. And then, of course, uh
11:42
indigenous groups have expressed concerns since alligator Alcatraz has been built on sacred land. You know, if
11:48
they can't get this wrong enough, they get it wrong in every direction, right? Uh Talbert Cypress, chairman of
11:54
the Muscoi Business Council, told ABC News that the facility is surrounded by the Big Cypress, where his tribe has
12:00
lived for centuries. Not only that, but some tribal villages are located a mere 900 ft from the facility's entrance. He
12:06
pointed to a lack of environmental studies about the detention cent's impact on the local ecosystem, as well
12:11
as fearing for traditional native camp safety as traffic could flights increase through the area. Yeah, that's another
12:16
thing is this project got the treatment of like what you would do for like a necessary new dam or something to power
12:23
an entire region where they're just like we're going to we're going to wave away the environmental impact study so that
12:29
because this is an emergency situation and and this just feeds into
12:35
what what I was what I was getting at for this
12:40
this bill. All it makes me think about is when you have a capitalist society, a
12:47
capitalist society that's successful and generates wealth, you are either going to have to have a welfare state or a
12:54
police state. Like you have to have no opt the only other third option is just be fine with rebellion, right? like just
13:02
just let just let people openly rebel where they choose to and and don't fight
13:08
it and hope it hope it doesn't catch fire and turn the whole place over. Um, you know, that's
13:14
but that's basically it. If you're going to allow wealth disparity to happen, um, if you're going to stratify your
13:20
society, you either need to be a police state or a welfare state. And we have had a welfare state in America since the
13:27
New Deal. uh it created the middle class as we've known it. Um
13:33
and it mostly did that through a high progressive income tax that lasted through uh you know up to into Nixon and
13:40
then was kind of you know it was cut down by Kennedy still kept it at like 73%. Um and actually increased revenue
13:48
because it brought a bunch of money back into the system that was trying to avoid it. Um, got you.
13:53
But then it kept going all the way down to like where it's at like 32 or 28 now.
13:59
And and this gets into the whole Thomas [ __ ] uh thing that I've talked about in
14:04
past episodes where again, if you're if you're newer to the podcast, if this is the first episode you're listening to, if this is the if you're listening to us
14:10
live and this is the first time you've heard of us, uh Thomas [ __ ] Pi Kty,
14:16
uh he's a French economist. He wrote the book capital in the 20th century or capital in the 21st century um but it's
14:23
mostly about the 20th century and it demonstrates how there was a period in
14:28
American history or in western economies um in the because he also included
14:34
France uh in this um but there was a period of time where upward mobility was
14:39
in fact a reasonable expectation of hard work um and in America
14:45
and that was the time when the tax rates were the highest. Um, and as tax rates
14:50
have come down, uh, income gaps have have risen and most people are not
14:58
moving upward. There's no longer as much, if any, upward mobility. It's it's
15:03
more like a lottery ticket if you do move upward. Um, most people are just an
15:09
echo of their parents success right now. Um, or a lack thereof. Um,
15:16
so what we end up with is we either need more welfare like a Bernie a Bernie uh
15:23
style de democratic socialism or like Zoron Mumdani in New York.
15:29
We need that kind of stuff. or we have to be a police state where we're just going to say we're fine with having a
15:34
poor underclass and we're just going to police them so that they they can't rob us or threaten us or make us feel
15:41
uncomfortable and we'll just we'll just hammer them down and and deport those that we can. And this is this could
15:48
because this is definitely a move towards the police state. This is cutting welfare programs while
15:54
increasing the ICE which is serving as the administration's gestapo like just
16:00
basically secret police that are disappearing people that are undesirable. So,
16:05
right. And and you know their their mandate is immigration and customs enforcement,
16:11
right? But what happens if they've once they've deported everybody they can and
16:16
they need a new scapegoat? Like are they just going to become is is everyone's citizenship going to be questioned at
16:22
that point? Like is it going to be who can who goes back the furthest, who did a crime, whose parents did a crime, who
16:29
missed a form, right? It's going to be like those uh old
16:36
German movies where people are having to show papers for traveling and that kind
16:41
of [ __ ] Already got to. Yep. already got to
16:47
I mean even now for like flying in a plane you got to get a real ID or a passport
16:54
and that was this was a choice we had after 911 as well is you know do we
17:00
cooperate with the world or do we become the world police and obviously as team America would lead you to believe we
17:07
decided we were going to be the world's police yeah because we know what's best for
17:12
you. Well, we didn't want to give up what we would have to give up to cooperate,
17:18
right? We'll just police it. We'll just police it, which is, you know, that's what it
17:23
is on the on the local scale, too, is is people that own everything don't want to
17:29
give up ownership. I saw in order yesterday that said, "So, let me get this straight. Uh we
17:36
have a felon uh that has an immigrant uh partner
17:43
telling us that he wants to get rid of felons and immigrants.
17:51
That doesn't make any sense. Yeah, it's you know it's
17:58
he just does it because he taps into the the dark underbelly of American popular
18:04
himself. He's He's I mean he's projecting everything he says that that the left is doing. He's doing. He's
18:12
absolutely doing these things. Oh, yeah. Every every accusation from Trump is a confession 100%.
18:18
Yeah. And then you heard now this week that Pam Bondi, the attorney general, she's saying, "Oh, there is no Epstein list."
18:26
Oh, is that the newest? It doesn't exist now, even though it for months now.
18:35
Oh man. Yeah. What what is the uh
18:41
so we'll we'll we'll go to CNN here for Pam Bondi's
18:49
botched handling of the Epstein files. So the Trump administration's promises
18:55
to release Oh, this is I think I think what they meant is promise. Uh, the Trump administration's promise to
19:02
release extensive and significant new information related to disgraced financeier Jeffrey Epstein appear to be
19:07
petering out, depriving conspiracy-minded MAGA supporters of the smoking guns they have long sought as
19:13
they've publicly tried to influence figures to Epstein's crimes. So, and to the extent those MAGA supporters are
19:19
disappointed, the Trump administration has itself to blame, that especially applies to Attorney General Bam Pam
19:24
Bondi, or who I was about to call Bam Pondi.
19:29
Does is that like a mashup of Pam Bondi and Bam Margera? Maybe. Maybe they Bam's looking a lot
19:36
better these days, though. I know. He's looking a lot like his uncle. He Well, I was going to say he looks
19:41
like his dad. He's almost He almost looks like if his dad could skateboard, if you've seen the recent the recent Oh, I have. Yeah, he
19:48
Yeah, he he actually No, I think you're right. I think he looks more like his dad than his uncle. But either way, I was He's gotten a He's gotten a lot
19:54
thicker since I've seen him last. Oh, yeah. Well, I have, too. Uh
19:59
well, shame. Yeah. Uh the Justice Department posted a memo Monday that says there is no evidence
20:06
Epstein was murdered or that he kept anything amounting to a much anticipated client list. The department does not
20:13
plan to release any new documents on the matter. An official told CNN. So they're gaslighting us now is what
20:19
they're doing. Yeah. There was never What do you mean? There was never a client list. Why would
20:25
you have thought that? Why? And What I meant by the client list
20:31
was it was a receipt from uh from Raid. It looked really really big. Although it
20:37
only had five items on it. It was all coupons on new lists. Yeah. Yeah.
20:43
Yeah. I know. Why would you think he killed himself? Most people beat themselves up before they hang. You know, he know that the soap that
20:49
they have at the prisons are notoriously slippery. So it it shot out of his hand and then hit him in the leg and fell
20:56
over and he smacked his head on a toilet seat 10 feet away from the shower.
21:02
Wasn't he found actually to have hugged himself though? I don't even know how he died. I just know that he died in prison and
21:08
everyone's like he didn't kill himself. I was like, you know what? He you know the I don't I'm not surprised if he was
21:16
killed because he was he was a pedophile and and as I've been told by people that
21:22
I've known to gone to have gone to jail or prison, they do not like pedophiles in prison.
21:29
So those guys usually slip and fall in a shower. Yeah. And Miami Herald's Julie K. Brown,
21:36
one of the best sourced reporters on the Epstein case, reported earlier this year, "Those who have worked with the
21:42
FBI on the case for decades say there is no evidence Epstein kept a ledger of lists or lists of clients who were
21:49
involved with his se sex trafficking operation. Still, the memo undercuts theories that
21:54
continued to circulate, including that there was proof that influence influential figures were involved in ex
22:01
Epstein's exploitation of underage girls. At their most pitched, these theories held that Epstein was able to
22:07
blackmail those influential figures who appeared on a purported client list. They also undercut Bondie's personal
22:13
rhetoric. The new memo's key findings are very different from how Bondi built them. Farright activist Laura Loomer,
22:19
who has demonstrated influence with the Trump administration and has frequently criticized Bondie over her handling of the Epstein investigation, called for
22:25
Trump to fire his attorney general. If she doesn't get fired over this Epstein memo, people are going to be so
22:32
blackpilled," Loomer wrote on X, using a term that some of the far-right used to signify a belief that the system is
22:39
beyond repair. Oh yeah, that's right. Red pill is like becoming a aware of what's going on and
22:45
black pill is for those who no longer be want to be redpilled but also don't want
22:50
to be bluepilled. Yeah, I was going to say where's the blue pill fit in with this? Well, the blue pill is clearly, you know, well,
22:57
where we are because we're we're, you know, not Republicans or not MAGA, so
23:03
we're the we're the woke ones. We're in the blissful ignorance. Yeah. We're we're woke, so therefore
23:09
blissfully ignorant, which is weird because woke should be the red pill, right? You would think. Yeah,
23:17
you would think. So, uh, apparently the idea that Epstein
23:22
kept a client list that potentially implicated influential figures has become an article of faith in some
23:28
circles. Key Republican lawmakers have treated its existence as an established fact and pushed for its release. And a
23:35
big reason was Bondi herself. During a February 21st interview on Fox News, host John Roberts asked whether DOJ
23:42
would release a list of clients. Will that really happen? Roberts asked. Uh, Bondie responded. It's sitting on my
23:48
desk right now to review. That's been a directive by President Trump of reviewing that. Yeah.
23:53
So, so there you go. Like they were pretending it was there. They were certainly acting like it was there. I
23:59
think they were playing their constituents for fools like they do on everything else. Yeah. Um
24:05
but to any extent that a that astein list has been assembled from contacts
24:10
and things like that, um you know, Trump's on it and that's why this is all
24:15
happening. Yeah. I mean, even if Trump wasn't like the most mentioned name on it, they'd be
24:23
figuring out a way like if Trump was just barely referenced, they'd figure out a way to scrub him. Yeah. And and release some sort of composite
24:29
of like, okay, we have these based on people in his phone, people he's messages with, people he's
24:34
We've all seen the video of those two hanging out and and they the way they were acting in that video looked like
24:40
there were a couple teenage boys like checking out girls at the mall. They were like at the mall like check
24:46
that one out. That one's hot. I like her. She's got a nice butt. That kind of Oh, yeah. No, it's it's two sleeves
24:51
bags. If you ever seen two sleeves bags hanging out together, two sleeves bags on the sleeves.
24:57
Oh, yeah. So, um,
25:04
God, someone someone famous recently in like the last few days passed away and
25:10
I'm trying to remember who the hell it was. My brain is just not wanting to brain today.
25:16
Um, you know, I've been doing so much morting for the country that I I you
25:22
know, I know who you're talking I I know I saw someone too. Um, yeah. I mean, I've seen a few people
25:27
obviously, you know, but it's like hold on. I I know I have it somewhere. I have a website that has
25:34
all that [ __ ] Um,
25:39
at least I did. Uh, where is it?
25:47
Either way, uh um I'm g still look for it. I I gotta find it now because now
25:52
that I mentioned it, I'm [ __ ] not seeing the [ __ ] thing.
25:58
Uh meanwhile, the uh markets are down again
26:04
uh because Trump announces new 40% tariffs on a growing number of countries.
26:12
Oh, of course. Right. So, what do we have now? President
26:17
Donald President Donald Trump still comes out of your mouth. It's just all wrong. Uh cranked up the pressure Monday
26:24
on America's trading partners, firing off letters to heads of several countries, informing them of their new
26:29
tariff rate. But at the same time, Trump took some of the edge off by signing an executive action Monday to extend the
26:35
date for all reciprocal tariffs with the exception of China to August 1st. So the
26:42
the 90 days was up and now that's pushed back to August 1st. So we extended it another 30 days basically. Okay. Uh
26:51
what the hell? You know, I really absolutely [ __ ] hate the websites that like will like
26:58
hide [ __ ] because you have a pop-up blocker. We're not going to let you see our [ __ ] [ __ ] you. I don't need to look
27:05
at your website anyhow. Sorry. Yeah, those websites are shady anyways.
27:12
Uh, let's see. I just [ __ ] had it. Where'd it go?
27:18
All right. Well, Google Google's telling me it's Julian McMahon, the guy from Niptuck and the Fantastic 4.
27:25
Oh, he did. He did pass away. Yeah, that's that's one person who did. Yeah. Or as as people I used to know call it,
27:32
Fantastic because of how the logo looked.
27:38
So that's unfortunate. I thought of the of that entire movie, I thought he was probably the best part of that of that
27:45
movie's whole like Dr. Doom thing he had.
27:51
So
27:57
and then in the sign of of what happens with when you do go towards police state and
28:04
you defund the welfare state in order to fund the police state, you get
28:11
what you get, you know, poor rescue responses. You get poor warnings. You know, we defund the National Weather
28:17
Service. Yeah. There there's there's a trending sound on TikTok right now that says,
28:22
"So, let me get this straight. You're angry at the uh at the service that was defunded by the
28:28
government to warn people about these types of things."
28:33
I'm paraphrasing it, but uh but yeah, and they and then you know because you know we're talking about the
28:40
Texas flood and unfortunately you know there's more than a hundred dead because they weren't properly warned. And from
28:46
what I'm reading it's not just that you know they they you know they undercut they they
28:53
defunded Noah and the National Weather Service and they cut a whole bunch of staff. Um they're still able to make
29:00
their weather predictions. uh not as many not as accurately. They don't put as many weather balloons up in the air
29:06
anymore um because a lot of their various remote stations don't have the
29:11
funds to do the weather balloons as often as they did before, right? Um but but they were still getting
29:17
predictions. The problem is they then hand those predictions off to who? They've they've cut people up and down
29:24
the chain at that nobody took these forecasts and disseminated them to the
29:29
town. Uh this town in Texas, which you know, living off the Texas ethic of
29:35
pulling yourself up by your own bootstraps, they didn't, you know, they didn't want to pay taxes and they didn't
29:41
pay the taxes for the warning system that would have told them this flood was
29:48
coming and to evacuate the area. Yeah, like that's the thing is it's like taxes
29:55
taxes are almost always, you know, except in the sense of when they fund war, taxes are always going to something
30:02
useful. Like you can argue over how useful, but taxes are always going to
30:07
something useful. And the idea that we should save money in our budget by
30:12
selling off necessary warnings and programs is absurd. It'd be like if you
30:17
needed to make your mortgage and you decided you're going to sell off your oven and your furnace of your house to
30:24
make mortgage for that month. It's like, okay, you made mortgage for this month. Maybe it pays three months of mortgage,
30:30
but then what do you do, right? You don't have anything else big to sell off and you still got to find a way to
30:36
eat and heat yourself. So, so that's what we're doing when we cut
30:42
Medicaid, when we cut the Noah, when we cut the National Weather Service, when we cut all these programs, when we cut
30:47
school lunches, when we cut school funding, what we're doing is we're we're selling off our oven. We're selling off
30:54
our refrigerator. We're selling off our furniture. We're selling off parts of our house to pay a mortgage that we need
31:00
to we're going to need those. We're just going to need to buy those things back to begin with. Yeah. like or suffer the consequences of
31:07
not having them, which in the case of the actual economy means people die.
31:14
And at first we did it with, you know, first Doge did it with with uh US aid
31:20
and we now know that that's going to kill between 15 and 40 million people. I
31:27
forget what the I the number might have been like 40 million people with 15 being children. Um, it's an article I
31:34
read during the week, but it was it was I want to say the
31:39
percentage was more of children was more than that. So maybe it wasn't maybe Yeah, maybe the 40 is the wrong number, but
31:47
it's just that's what we do know. It's it's it's a line from a weaker than song where the mayor's out killing kids to keep taxes down. Like that's what we're
31:54
doing. We're just saying, you know, we'd rather be free and tax we'd rather be taxfree than have happy people,
32:01
right? And that's that's where we're moving towards the police state and away from the welfare state,
32:08
you know? When we move towards a welfare state, you end up like, you know, like a Finland or a Denmark. um you end up with
32:15
happy people and you don't have to spend as much money on on policing your
32:21
neighborhoods because everybody's happy and nobody feels the need to risk crime
32:26
when they're happy and they at least have their basic needs met, right? Oh [ __ ] another person has passed from
32:34
my childhood. Uh the actor who played Cletus Hog on the Dukes of Hazard passed
32:40
away. Oh, Rick Hurst. Yeah, that was a show that was before my
32:46
time and I never got back to. Oh, man. I mean, it's you can't it's not
32:52
streaming anywhere right now, but you can you could probably buy an episode or two or find clips of it on YouTube. He
32:59
was actually one of the better characters on the show. That's a bummer.
33:06
So, do we have anybody watching? Uh, you know what? Let me take a look.
33:11
I haven't been watching the watchers. Uh we have one over on Twitch, but that's
33:17
probably a bot. Um because of the reream or the stream elements, one of the two
33:25
on YouTube. I don't I'm not seeing anything over on YouTube right now. Fair enough. People might jump in here
33:31
in a little bit though because uh my friend Shannon said she was she was still out and about, but when she gets home, she'll she'll
33:38
she'll hop on and watch. So, and any mis calls or anything?
33:44
I haven't had anything happen on my phone. I don't have it I don't have it muted or
33:49
anything. So, you'll hear it rings when it when it when it starts going.
33:56
But uh uh but it just everything to say in the news that happened this in this
34:01
last week, which is just really in a time of a lot of bad news very often,
34:07
this was a particularly bad week of news with the passage of the bill and then the Texas floods,
34:12
right? Um it's just just a one of the saddest, you know, the saddest
34:17
the saddest Fourth of July since the last Trump Fourth of July. Yeah. uh at least, you know, maybe even
34:24
before that because at least the last Trump Fourth of July we thought was the last Trump Fourth of July. We thought
34:29
there wasn't going to be another one with him. But uh
34:36
but it just you got to you got to vote, you got to turn out, you got to you got to go progressive. You got to take care
34:42
of you got to go towards the welfare state. Even if that has a bad taste in your mouth, it's part of the it's part
34:49
of the preamble of our Constitution. like, you know, we're not just supposed to provide for the common defense. We're
34:54
supposed to um ensure the general welfare or promote the general welfare.
34:59
And that's that's the government's role. Promote the general welfare. Like that's
35:05
it's that's more couldn't be more simple than that. And the fact that the preamble to the constitution doesn't
35:10
ever it doesn't ever become pertinent to any discussions like we
35:17
never interpret anything like well what would the preamble of the constitution what would the whole point of the
35:22
constitution lead you to believe this means and we don't ever evaluate it from that perspective. We always evaluate it
35:29
from some from some word analysis of like well what does this comma mean? What does this what does this preface
35:34
mean? What is what is the word? What is the meaning of the word is? Um, you know, sometimes things are what
35:42
you see. Sometimes there's no hidden meaning. Yeah.
35:47
Well, it's like the preamble tells you how you're supposed to interpret it. How you're supposed to interpret the Constitution.
35:52
Yeah. And promoting the general welfare is in
35:58
there. Policing the state is not.
36:04
In fact, police police didn't even exist in most places until sometime after the
36:10
Civil War. Yeah. Because it uh wasn't the original the original um
36:18
words I'm looking for are escaping me. Uh the original purpose of uh of a
36:24
police of a police force was uh to maintain the the slaves and and make
36:29
sure they don't take off or or uh leave. I don't I don't even know. Well, I think they had private bounties that did that
36:36
and private groups like I think the original thing that that's that's what that became though that those groups like be
36:43
that could be cuz I I was almost thinking more in the north of like police arising like in New York because
36:49
they protected businesses downtown from Yeah. from
36:54
anarchists and things like that. Um
36:59
like that's kind of my in in my history of police. They basically rose to as
37:04
property defenders, which is really still what they do today, which is why we we have such a clash between police
37:11
and protesters and things like that because the police is really their ultimate duty is to protect property and
37:18
that clashes with that clashes with human rights in a lot of cases.
37:26
But, you know, I mentioned earlier that we've had a we've had a welfare state
37:31
since since the New Deal. Um, yeah.
37:36
And that's been eroded away through the last few decades, you know, especially under Reagan and and in the
37:44
subsequent decades, we've just further further exacerbated the issue which has, you know, resulted in the biggest
37:50
inequality in American history now, right? Um, but if we were to go back
37:55
towards a welfare state, we were going to go back towards a New Deal. Um, one
38:01
of the things that came from the New Deal era that was never implemented was the Second Bill of Rights. Have you ever
38:07
heard of this? The Second Bill of Rights? No, I have not. Right. Yeah. Right. Like that's that's what I said when I was the Second Bill
38:13
of Rights. Is that like Second Breakfast? Yeah. Just you're already kind of full,
38:19
but it's still delicious. Um, no. It's it's uh so the second bill of
38:25
rights or the bill of economic rights was proposed by United States President Franklin D. Roosevelt during his State
38:32
of the Union address on Tuesday, January 11th, 1944.
38:38
So, not long before he passed away. Okay. In his address, Roosevelt suggested that
38:43
the nation had come to recognize and should now implement a second bill of rights. Roosevelt argued that the
38:49
political rights guaranteed by the Constitution and the Bill of Rights had proved inadequate to assure us equality
38:55
in the pursuit of happiness. His remedy was to declare an economic bill of rights to guarantee these specific
39:02
rights. So these are the rights that it specifically enunciated um employment.
39:07
So the right to work, but that should be differentiated from what's now known as right to work. Um
39:14
right to work, right? But the but employment, a guarantee of employment, a guarantee of
39:20
an adequate income for food, shelter, and recreation. So I think that jives with our idea of
39:26
of a guaranteed income and basic income, right? Farmers rights to a fair income. Now
39:32
that's a bit it's too bad that they didn't get that because they've
39:38
subsequently been bought out by global national chains.
39:44
So, you know, there's really is no more farmer like we had in the 1940s. You
39:50
know, farmers are all corporations for the most part now. Um, but on further on
39:56
the list, freedom from unfair competition and monopolies. It's unfortunate that we don't have an amendment addressing that specifically.
40:04
Decent housing, adequate medical care, social security, and education. So,
40:11
those are all supposed to be guaranteed items under the second bill of rights. Now, as you may have guessed, we never
40:18
got the second bill of rights. Uh,
40:23
but but that may mostly be due to to Roosevelt having passed away. It's hard
40:30
to really say. Uh, but after Roosevelt's death in 45, President Truman administration had within a few years
40:37
within a few years compromised the New Deal. FDR's third-term vice president Henry Wallace launched a presidential
40:44
bid in 48 with a new party. The progressive platform the progressive party platform promoted the opposition
40:49
party's abandoned economic bill of rights. So we did have an entire uh new
40:55
party form to promote this economic bill of rights. And and that's to me is one
41:01
of the saddest uh parts of history is that the progressive party became, you
41:06
know, a third an irrelevant third party rather than the main arm of the
41:12
Democratic party, you know, following following FDR. It would have been nice,
41:17
you know, if we had kept up the more progressive tradition. Yeah. But but after all after, you know,
41:24
four elections, you know, four cycles plus plus Truman, so really five U of
41:31
Democratic rule, it was kind of time for the pendulum to swing the other way.
41:38
So once it went into, you know, Eisenhower's hands,
41:43
he still did a lot of good progressive work, um, to be honest, but it was from
41:49
a Republican businessoriented perspective. Yeah.
41:55
And it and it sort of it left the conversation of progressivism behind which, you know, we were doing well
42:02
through the 50s, so I I get it. But
42:08
it really progressiveism really didn't come back until the social until the civil rights movement.
42:16
Yeah. Oh, that makes sense. But this I do I did like when I discovered the second bill of rights
42:22
that how much how well it aligned with our stated goals for this podcast. You know,
42:28
right? I mean, which I of course have memorized and I'm
42:34
looking up on my phone. I mean, it happens, you know. I I I have
42:40
uh especially when it's hot, I I get I get a lot of brain fog.
42:50
which is which is worse I think than just like having your train of thoughts derailed,
42:55
right? But we had things in there like everyone deserves food, shelter, and healthcare, right? Boom.
43:00
Uh personal responsibility often means working together.
43:07
Lack of trust in government is a problem with elections, not with the role of government. Everyone should pay the same taxes on
43:13
the same dollars with the percentage increasing as the dollars increase. Um, but yeah, it's I mean we we kind of
43:18
combined all this into one item, but and the right to a good education is, you know, maybe that's not something we
43:24
specifically state in our in in ours, which we definitely should because that
43:29
is absolutely important to being able to conduct. If everybody went to college, then nobody would be a Republican,
43:37
right? And if and it's not that everybody needs to go to college, but college there
43:43
should be a free college option, you know, that's not a quality free college
43:49
in every state or, you know, multiple in every state to to get at least whatever the minimum
43:55
like college um certificate is. Well, yeah. Well, whether it's a AA or a
44:02
B or you know or a BA um associates or a bachelor's, um
44:07
it's just if you are a good enough student or you have the intellectual curiosity to pursue higher education,
44:14
there should be a free option for you that's of quality. We got a guaranteed
44:20
we have a comment on YouTube from Smoke Elijah to review Tech USA's. I don't know what
44:28
that means, but that's what he said. That sounds like a a bot or a
44:35
It's probably It's probably a bot. Yeah, I don't know. Fair enough. Well, thanks for the
44:40
interaction. We appreciate it. That get that gets, you know, that that tweaks the algorithm a little bit,
44:46
right? Yeah. Every little bit helps, right?
44:53
Let's try something real quick. Joe Rogan is a little person. He is tiny. He
44:58
is super short. He is not as big as he looks on camera.
45:04
Joe Rogan is a [ __ ] I think you have to look in a mirror and say Joe Rogan three times.
45:10
I think saying Joe Rogan two and a half times is what you need to do because that's about how tall he is.
45:18
I actually someone someone said that um about a month or so back over on Tik Tok. If you want to get some
45:24
interactions from bots, you got to say something about Joe Rogan in a negative light and they will come for you.
45:32
They have to be listening though. You need to write it. Well, I mean, yeah. Put it in the show description. There you go. I'll put it in the chat.
45:42
Joe Rogan is shorter than Tom Cruz. Is that true?
45:48
Uh, no. No. Tom Cruz is like almost uh he's I think his online thing says he's
45:54
like 5'6, but he's like closer to five, maybe 48. He's tiny.
46:06
48 would be ridiculously small though.
46:16
Yeah. Now, this is something I didn't know just kind of looking in some in in
46:22
through the the Wikipedia on the Bill of Rights. Uh, so Maryanne Williamson, she
46:28
ran for president in 2024. Okay. Um, she spoke in a way that like really
46:33
spoke to my progressive heart, but everything about her just kind of felt
46:39
like a trick. I don't know. It felt like, you know, it it didn't feel right. But in her 2024 presidential primary
46:46
campaign, uh, she featured a 21st century economic bill of rights in her platform, which again just chose just
46:52
goes to show that she was really she had me in particular really dialed in with her rhetoric in her platform. But there
46:58
was just something about her that I just didn't it felt it felt almost like evil. Like she did it and it like she was just
47:05
saying this to get you to come over like like you know taunting me with camp. We got another comment asking what it is
47:11
we talk about on here. So, what do you want to tell them, Doug? What? Well, we we talk about politics and pop
47:17
culture. Uh, first half of the show is usually mostly political news, latest news of the week, and then the back half
47:24
of the show is is usually pop culture, what's what's geek this week, and some weird some weird don't mind if I say a
47:30
bad word, but some weird [ __ ] Yeah. Yeah. Now, this uh that's that question is
47:36
from Take Notes 420. So, Oh, yeah. And and please feel free to
47:43
light up and dab up if you if you are so inclined. Yes, go for it.
47:49
Let us know what you're dabbing on or smoking on. Yep.
47:55
So, uh, I did want to touch on this story that,
48:02
uh, this is hanging over from last week or something you posted, Todd, but is Donald Trump legalizing driving
48:08
without a license? Yeah, I I posted that um I think a day or two after we
48:15
recorded last. I I want I just want to put it in there because I didn't want to forget it. Yeah. So, it's interesting. Uh several
48:22
videos have gone viral on TikTok making false claims that President Donald Trump plans to abolish driver's license
48:27
requirements in 2026. Yeah, it's absolute [ __ ]
48:33
So, numerous social media. Oh, I just spilled. Oh, it was only It was an empty can that was apparently still had some
48:40
drops in it. I just knocked it over on my own legs. It's okay.
48:48
Excuse me while I wipe this up. Excuse me while I whip this out.
48:56
Work for Blazing Saddles. So, this month, numerous social media
49:02
users on Tik Tok have have suggested that beginning in January 2026, people will not need a driver's license to
49:09
operate a motor vehicle. Uh, the videos, which have been viewed and shared thousands of times, feature creators
49:14
either promoting the claim directly or reacting to it with disbelief and concern.
49:19
Yeah, we are on we are the letter half on that one. We don't believe it. We think it's absolute horshit.
49:25
Yeah. One video which has been shared over 200,000 times was posted by user
49:30
Mela Ashara. Excuse me. Enjoy that one. Uh she said, "So by January of 2026, you do not need
49:38
a driver's license to drive anymore. You can literally get in the car and go." Is this just part of like the Russian
49:44
misinformation campaign to bring as much chaos to America as possible? It it it
49:49
sounds like or China or whoever it it legitimately just sounds like the uh the uh uh the uh sovereign sovereign
49:57
people kind of speak. That's the kind of [ __ ] they would talk about. I don't need I'm not I'm not uh I'm not
50:04
uh how is it? I'm I'm not uh I'm not driving. I'm traveling. I'm legally
50:09
allowed to travel from the Constitution. You cannot stop me from from traveling. Blah blah blah
50:16
blah blah. Yeah. And Newsweek goes on to note that even if a president supported ending
50:21
certain requirements, a change would require significant state level legislative action or a modification of
50:27
existing transportation regulations at the federal level. Yeah. So, no changes being implemented in
50:32
2026. That's not going to happen. Yeah. Each state will enforce its own laws.
50:38
Just that's I hate that. That's something we have to keep reiterating in the Trump era is the states will enforce
50:45
their own laws. Yeah. We don't have a king. And and we we won't have a king. I don't
50:53
I don't think we're going to I I'm I'm I'm confident that our government is
50:58
going to do whatever they need to do to get somebody else into office. So,
51:03
yep. Right. Right. The f on. And so without, you know, goes without saying,
51:10
Newsweek rated this an F, a false. Yeah. Yeah.
51:15
So with that, Todd, um, if unless we have any anybody that wants to call in
51:21
or or ask a political question, uh, we can move on to what's geek this week.
51:26
All right. What is geek this week? So, let me pull
51:32
that my, uh, Google doc up here. The first thing I have here is that
51:37
no theme song. Oh, yes. Yeah. Thank you for reminding me cuz I'm I'm just not braining today, man.
51:43
I live for it, man. I live for this theme. I live for all our themes. Welcome to What's Chief This? Your go
51:50
for the coolest in pop culture category news. Let's dive in.
51:57
All right, so it's rumors have been floating around the internet the last few days. At least that was the first
52:03
time I saw anything about it. Rumors of a reboot for Indiana Jones
52:10
after after Harrison Ford said, "Yeah, they're not going to do anymore after I'm done. They're done with this.
52:16
They're not going to do more." And uh this article here, let me pull this up
52:22
is on uh Walt Disney World News Today
52:30
or WDWnt.com. It says, "According to latest rumors,
52:37
Disney and Lucasfilm are planning to on rebooting the Indiana Jones franchise sometime in the near future."
52:44
uh says, "According to new uh new article from comicbook.com,
52:50
multiple in internal sources have reportedly confirmed Disney and Lucasfilm are planning on a reboot of
52:57
Indiana Jones. Comic Book has pulled statements from DIS Insider Discider
53:04
uh which state Lucasfilm is letting the Indiana Jones franchise rest for a bit
53:10
before they will do a full reboot of the franchise. The rumor goes on to state,
53:17
"I would expect the studio to announce something next year at D23 Expo because
53:23
even though the last film tanked in the in the box office, Indiana Jones is
53:28
still an iconic IP and Disney and Lucasfilm do not want to waste that." I
53:34
mean, yeah. I'm I'm surprised it took them what was it 15 years since the last
53:40
one they did. And that one was moderately better than this one. And uh this most recent one.
53:46
I was shocked when I saw how much time was between like from like the Shia Boof one to the more recent one. I was like,
53:51
"Oh, wow. It was like I mean they they a whole another generation. Yeah, they they uh I mean honestly they they could
53:58
have done at least two or three movies in the time that they in between the last one and the and the current one.
54:04
And the way they the way they explained the absence of of Mut was, you know,
54:11
like he went uh he and Indiana Jones, his dad got into a massive argument and
54:16
then Mut decided to enlist and didn't come home. Oh.
54:22
So he Wow. That's that's some dark backstory to add to Indie. Yeah. You know, and of course uh they uh
54:30
basically also um say that Marcus passed away not long after dad. And of course I
54:36
think that was in the that was in the Crystal Skull movie. Never mind. But either way, they uh basically all the
54:43
characters that we all loved in the first three movies were all pretty much gone. Um, Marian does make a a brief
54:51
appearance in this most recent one, but it was not towards not until the end of
54:56
towards the end of the movie. So So you think they're going to have Alden Aaron Reich play Indiana Jones in the
55:03
reboot? I mean, you mean the guy who played solo? I I I don't think so. I, as much
55:09
as I liked him in that, I don't think he There's no way they would, right? There's no way. I mean, he's he doesn't have that he's he's he he doesn't have
55:17
that. Um I mean, he barely Well, the reboot's not supposed to be
55:23
it's not supposed to be the same character again. It's it's I mean, it's it's it's going to be it's going to be Indiana Jones. Whether or
55:29
not Indiana Jones is going to be a 35-year-old white male is really the question cuz I've seen um some articles
55:37
about people like making suggestions who they would like to see as the new
55:42
Indiana Jones. And a couple of them uh one was uh the the woman who was in the
55:48
most recent one as his his uh god niece or his goddaughter.
55:53
And uh I don't know. I I Alter Bridge or or uh what was it? the the the the the slum slum lord
56:01
millionaires lady. I don't know. I don't know her name. I just know that she was in that movie.
56:08
I honestly have no idea. I I don't even have a face. Uh okay. Well, she's I think she's uh
56:14
British, but she's also part Indian, like like East Indian.
56:20
Um so she's one of the people listed. And then of course uh at the top of the
56:26
list was uh Kquan who played Short Round. Oh, wouldn't that be interesting
56:32
if it was now if if if it was going to be same universe. Um not like a a start
56:38
over and like have a new actor playing uh Henry Jones Jr. We have just the next
56:44
generation, which would be key. He's the next gen. He's our age. My age. Not ours. My age. He's actually a couple
56:51
couple months older than me, but uh I found that out today. Um he uh I think
56:58
he could he could easily do like the Indiana Jones thing where he um
57:04
maybe he went back to college from the time that we saw him at in at uh when he
57:10
was like 12 or 13 in in in the second movie to Yeah, he could have been an archaeologist. like he could have been training to become
57:16
he could have gone to college after like um that interview not interview that that um interaction with Indiana Jones
57:24
that you know brain is not braining today. Uh, so yeah, he could have gone
57:30
to college and and become a an archaeologist and all that and just and then been like, uh, hey, uh, let's, you
57:37
know, and he's like, no, I'm retired kid. I can't do this anymore. This, but hey, check this out. And he could be
57:43
Indiana Jones himself could turn into like the Marcus character who was like giving Indiana the the the paperwork or
57:50
the stories to go investigate. That's kind of how I'm thinking. Anyhow,
57:55
um I would I honestly I'd be cool with that, but I'm I'm also good with like a complete reboot where we get a different
58:01
actor entirely to play Indiana Jones. Um yeah,
58:06
Henry Jones, which is I'm I'm assuming that's where they're actually going. Yeah, that's that's definitely going to be the way that Disney's going to do it.
58:12
Lucasfilm. Um Oh, and here's the list of the actors. I
58:17
if I would have just kept looking at the [ __ ] dock, I could have told you. Um, so the 10 actors that they think could
58:25
replace Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones. Number 10 is Chris Pratt because of
58:31
course Chris Pratt. Um, and then number nine is Tom Hardy. I could see that. I
58:37
could see him uh especially if he does if he doesn't do an American accent. If he does a British accent, that'd be even
58:43
cooler. Um, if we if we made him a Brit. Chris Pine would be a good a good uh
58:50
choice I think as a as an American uh Indiana Jones if they want wanted to
58:55
Yeah, I could see Chris Pine. Uh Edris Elba, I could see him doing it.
59:01
He gets flooded for like everything like this. He'd be fine at it. He'd be I I I think I think um I think it could
59:07
be depending on how they do the backstory of his version of Indiana. It could be really good. Um if they make
59:14
him an American, I don't know. I've not heard him do an American accent, so I'm sure he can do a great job of it because
59:20
he's a he's a decent actor. He's actually a really good actor. Not more he's more than decent. He's really good.
59:25
Um, but he he's one of the people he's one of the top choices that people have for for James Bond,
59:30
right? So, um, Scarlett Johansson.
59:35
Now, that would definitely be interesting if if she was like the like the
59:41
granddaughter of of Henry Jones Jr., She's like the daughter of mud. Henry
59:46
Jones III. I could see that. They have to set that way in the future.
59:52
I mean, it's it's already the last one was already kind of in the future because it was 15 years after the last
59:58
movie. Like, is she older than Shia Labou? Are they about the same age? I mean, they can age her. They can they
1:00:05
Well, they could always say that, you know, he because he died in the in what was it? Uh Korean War. I think is where
1:00:12
he where he died. Uh Munt died I think in the it was either Korean or it was uh it was Korea
1:00:18
Vietnam or Vietnam rather. Yeah, probably Vietnam, right? So that she could have she could be like
1:00:24
cuz I think she's in her late 30s, early 40s if that. I think she's in her 30s either way.
1:00:30
She's basically my age. Yeah, she's a millennial and I'm older than him.
1:00:36
Yeah, but I guess it was set in the past so Yeah. I mean, it it could be. I She
1:00:41
didn't have to be She didn't have to be chronologically younger than he is in real life. She could just be playing the
1:00:48
part of the older child of the now deceased. Yeah. It could even be set in modern
1:00:53
times and just she's the great great granddaughter, great great grand. Or if they if they were to do like a
1:00:59
reboot entirely, just a whole new story. She is uh uh she is like the the the
1:01:06
granddaughter or the or the daughter or the niece of somebody who was like a you know I don't know somebody in history
1:01:13
and she she she decided to kind of follow suit. I don't know. Uh the next
1:01:19
one on the list is Scott Eastwood. Apparently he is the son of Clint
1:01:25
Eastwood. I didn't know who he was. I was going to say isn't that the name that Marty McFly made up when he went to the Old West? No, he he used Clinton
1:01:31
Eastwood in the Old West. Clint Eastwood? That's a stupid name. But uh uh but yeah, Scott Eastwood, the son of
1:01:37
Clinton Eastwood, one of the most iconic action heroes in cinematic history.
1:01:43
What was he in? I'll guess he was in the Fast and Furious movies. Um and Guy Guy Richie's Wraith of Wrath
1:01:51
of Man. Okay. I've seen those movies. I don't remember him in them as anything.
1:01:57
So, um, but yeah, I mean, he he has kind of the the, uh, the, uh, the kind of the
1:02:04
everyman look to him. He looks like he could like pass as like a a former like football star in high school or
1:02:10
something. But, uh, and then number four is Pedro Pascal because, of course, he's the
1:02:16
Mandalorian and, you know, Reed Richards, so why the [ __ ] not?
1:02:21
And, uh, okay, this is the woman I was trying to remember her name. Phoebe Waller Bridge. She plays the the the
1:02:29
godaughter to Indiana Jones in the last movie and uh she does most of the action
1:02:35
stuff. So, um I need to rewatch that movie because I the last time I watched it was I kept
1:02:43
like either nodding off or I was, you know, fidgeting with something and I kept missing stuff. Um and number two on
1:02:51
the list is Bradley Cooper. I could see that. I could totally see that.
1:02:58
And then and then number one is uh Kiquan Kiwan.
1:03:03
Okay. You know, uh yeah, short round. So that and like I said, I think if if if they
1:03:09
were going to do that, it would have to be kind of a a uh continuation of the
1:03:14
same universe in which, you know, Andy put him through college, you know,
1:03:22
probably at the right around the same time as Mut went back to college. So,
1:03:28
and you said uh you said Tom Holland was on that list. No, no, he should. You know what? That's
1:03:34
not a bad idea, though. Tom Holland could easily be like an Indiana Jen Jones kind of guy, right?
1:03:40
Well, he did the Uncharted Yeah. movies, right? So, yeah, I could see that. Same difference.
1:03:45
I could see that before I could see uh Chris Pratt. I'm glad Mark Wahberg wasn't on the list
1:03:51
at least. Right. Yeah. I don't really like him either. Um but yeah, that's that's what that is.
1:03:58
So, I got to go run and uh grab some ibuprofen. You want to start talking about this next story and I'll be right
1:04:04
back. Yeah, I can I can do that. No problem. So Stephen Steven Spielberg
1:04:09
I guess has done many many movies over the years and and I've seen most of those movies I think give or take one or
1:04:16
two that I have missed. But it looks like he um wanted to do one more genre
1:04:21
of film that he hadn't done before. And uh apparently he's never done a uh a
1:04:28
western. I don't know. I I mean I'm not huge into westerns. I think the only western I will admit to liking and like
1:04:36
and will actively rewatch at least at least once a year is uh Tombstone
1:04:42
um with uh with Val Kilmer. But yeah, I could totally see if if it was like if it was like if it's a straight like uh
1:04:50
just an actual western. There's no science fiction to it. There's no fantasy to it. It's just a straight
1:04:56
gunslinger type movie. I could see him doing that. He's done action movies
1:05:01
before. He's done movies where um yeah, I think um adventure movies is he's
1:05:09
definitely good at that. Um let's see. Let's see what it says here
1:05:15
on this article. Let me pull this up real quick. It says Stephen Spielberg reveals what
1:05:21
movie genre he still wants to make. During an event held by Universal Pictures in honor of Steven Spielberg,
1:05:28
the Oscarinning director shared the next movie genre he wants to make. Spielberg
1:05:33
is best known for his work on science fiction movies such as Close Encounters of the Third Kind, ET extraterrestrial,
1:05:40
War of the World, Ready Player One, and the Jurassic Park movies. What's next for Spielberg? In a recent interview,
1:05:47
Spielberg uh expressed desire to direct a western, even though the acclaimed
1:05:53
filmmaker hasn't directed one. He did previously produced a western miniseries
1:05:59
in 2005 titled Into the West. However, some fans
1:06:05
are argued that Spielberg's Indiana Jones franchise would also be considered
1:06:10
an action adventure movie with a western influence. You know what? I don't think they're
1:06:16
wrong there because I mean just the whole like uh because of the
1:06:21
time period that it takes place in. There's lots of you know revolvers and
1:06:26
and that type of weaponry. Um but there isn't anything like inherently uh like a
1:06:33
western where you go to a western town where people are riding horses instead
1:06:38
of riding buggies or cars. So, I don't think it really uh is the same thing as
1:06:44
a western as much as it is. It's an action film with with lots of lots of
1:06:50
gunplay. But, I don't know. I I I I it would depend on the story for me to if I
1:06:55
wanted to watch it or not, but I could I could totally see doing that. Uh
1:07:01
I could get into a Steven Spielberg western. Yeah. It says here, "I still have an appetite for a western, which it will
1:07:08
someday hopefully do. Uh, it's something that eluded me for all these decades."
1:07:14
Spielberg re revealed the award-winning filmmaker has just wrapped production on
1:07:19
his sci-fi project, which has been described as as an untitled UFO movie.
1:07:25
It is directed by Spielberg from a screenplay written by Jurassic Park
1:07:30
scribe David Cop. Uh based on a story by the Oscarinning filmmaker uh the the
1:07:38
ensemble cast includes Emily Blunt, Wyatt Russell, Josh O' Conor, Coleman
1:07:44
Domingo, Colin FTH, and Eve Hawson Houston. Um, and Noah Noah Robbins
1:07:54
is produced by Spielberg and uh Christy
1:07:59
Mossco Krager. I I am I'm I'm I'm totally butchering her name. I
1:08:04
apologize. You're doing your best. For Amblin Entertainment along with Chris Bighgam. Uh this will be uh
1:08:13
Spielberg's latest directorial feature project uh since helming the 2022
1:08:19
Fablemen's which I haven't seen yet but I need to um which is me saying it not
1:08:25
the article. Uh the article just had a quick aside. Yeah. Yeah. Like I need to watch that
1:08:32
movie but uh which was closely based on his early life. Aside from directing, Spielberg is also serving as a producer
1:08:39
on a number of upcoming projects including Universal Pictures uh Jurassic World Rebirth with Scarlett Johansson,
1:08:47
Netflix's Thursday Murder Club movie, and with Pierce Broman, and Apple TV
1:08:53
Plus's Cape Fear series with Amy Adams. I actually just watched the the the
1:08:59
newest Jurassic World movie, and it was it was really good. I liked it. I enjoyed it. So, that reminds me of
1:09:05
something else I did this weekend is Thursday is Thursday night. Uh, we went to the drive-in.
1:09:11
Oh, how was that? Good. It was good as always. Uh, but we saw we saw How to Train Your Dragon with
1:09:17
Jurassic Park. Oh, wow. Or Jurassic World. Jurassic World Rebirth. The new one. Yeah. Um, but I think it's just being a
1:09:24
Thursday after Sam and I had worked all day. Um, we uh we all pretty much slept
1:09:32
during Jurassic Park. Oh man. I mean, I I saw a bit of it. I saw a good bit of
1:09:38
it. It was It was fine. It I I think I would have enjoyed it more if I wasn't falling asleep.
1:09:43
Yeah. Know, it had some slow moments. Excuse me. Um but overall, I enjoyed it.
1:09:50
It There was a couple parts that were like, "Oh, I'm seeing some foreshadowing."
1:09:55
I was like, "Yeah, that guy's gonna die. He's an [ __ ] so he's gonna die. He's He's going to get eaten by a dinosaur."
1:10:02
Um, so yeah. Uh, yeah, there was there was lots of stuff like why is this happening kind of stuff
1:10:08
going on, but but I liked, you know, I liked the dad of the kids that they ended up rescuing and then became part
1:10:13
of the movie. And then, uh, you know, I love Scarlett Johansson. She's great in
1:10:19
it. But it just, you know, I was just like, do we need more?
1:10:25
I It made me want to go back and watch more of the King Kong movies again. The King Kong and Godzilla.
1:10:30
Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, the next story I have here is from screenrant.com. It is uh what is this?
1:10:37
The title of it is James Gun reveals his thoughts about the DCU Batman costume and whether he will wear the trunks like
1:10:45
Superman. Now, what does that mean? Wear the trunks like Superman. So, in the original like Superman and
1:10:52
Batman and pretty much all the superheroes back in the day, they wore their underwear on the outside of their leotards.
1:10:59
And at some point in the 2010s, I think, uh, Superman didn't have that. And in
1:11:05
sometime in the 90s, Batman didn't have that. So, um, we might see a kind of a a
1:11:13
call back to the Adam West Batman who did wear the underwear on the outside of his outfit.
1:11:20
So, and I think that's what he's talking about. But this is what it says here. DC Studios co-CEO James Gun shares an
1:11:29
update about the DCU's Batman bat suit in the Brave New and the Bold. After 11
1:11:36
liveaction Batman actors have portrayed the Cape Crusader on the big screen,
1:11:41
expectations around the DCU's new Batman are inevitably high.
1:11:47
Every previous actor, director, and writer have left a mark on Batman's
1:11:53
movie legacy, and uh the DC Universe's next Dark Knight needs to propose
1:12:00
something new, if not groundbreaking. In an interview with CBR, James Gunn
1:12:05
answers whether Batman's DCU bat suit has been chosen. Gun confirms that
1:12:12
there's no no decisions made about the costume at all yet and reveals that he
1:12:18
still doesn't know which approach to that DC Studios
1:12:24
and the brave and the bold will take with the Batman with Batman's costume. The DCU head recalls being in a uh the
1:12:32
same position for Superman's costume until the last minute as other
1:12:39
discussions took higher priority. Uh read his comments down below. Says, you
1:12:46
know, there's no decisions made about the costume at all yet. I do like the
1:12:53
blue and gray bat suit, but I like the other versions, too. I like many different versions. I'm a
1:13:00
Batman super fan and I so I like all of the different versions of the bat suit.
1:13:06
I don't know what we uh are going to do. I didn't know we were going to do the
1:13:14
trunks on Superman until the last minute on this movie. Listen, I didn't know the
1:13:20
trunks were going to be that important until I took this job. Even Jim Lee came
1:13:26
to up to me and the first thing he asked was, "What are you going to do about the
1:13:31
Trunks?" And I'm like, "Really?" Like, we're talking one of the most iconic
1:13:38
characters in the history of the world and all we're talking about is his trunks, his underwear. I mean, we
1:13:46
haven't seen the Bat Trunks since the 60s as far as on camera goes. So,
1:13:53
I I wouldn't be mad if we if we got a, you know, gray and and blue bat suit
1:13:59
with the trunks and a yellow belt, you know. I wouldn't I wouldn't be upset by it.
1:14:07
What do you think, Doug?
1:14:13
He's muted, folks.
1:14:20
So, I don't know. I I think I think uh it depends on on the the There we go. Sorry, I couldn't get the I
1:14:27
couldn't find the screen again to unmute myself. Okay. I was uh my my I was talk I was chatting
1:14:32
with my wife. Sorry. I figured you were talking to either your wife or the kids. So,
1:14:37
it's all good. No worries. So, what do you think? Do you think they should have the the the gray and blue bat suit or
1:14:44
they should stick with the black? You know, they've never done the blue on in a movie, have they?
1:14:50
Not since 1966. Yeah, but not in the modern era like they No, it's always been all black. But
1:14:56
I mean, actually, wait a minute. There was uh the gray and blue in the Flash, but I
1:15:05
don't believe he had the trunks. It was that it was that it was the it
1:15:10
was the it was the scene where the Batfleck Ben Affleck's Batman was riding
1:15:17
the the bat cycle across the bridge and he was like zigzagging in and out of other cars
1:15:24
being thrown at him or something was going on. You say this like I remember that scene. I I I vaguely remember it myself. I mean
1:15:30
the only thing about that movie that really stood out to me was the fact that Michael Keat was Batman again.
1:15:35
Right. That's the part that I remember that that's I mean I don't get me wrong I really did really like Ben Affleck as
1:15:42
Batman. I did. I thought he was the best second choice to to Michael Keaton. Like
1:15:48
if if I had to choose between any of the bats, it would be Michael Keaton then Ben Affleck. But if I had to choose
1:15:55
between all the actors, it would go Kevin Conroy uh you know Katon and then Ben then Affleck. So
1:16:02
Kevin Conroy is from the animated series. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, and the uh the Arkham games, the video games.
1:16:07
Oh, okay. Okay. I just got those, by the way, on on uh on Steam. Steam has the Arkham games for
1:16:14
like four bucks a piece, man. You can buy all of you can buy all the games and the on and all the DLC for
1:16:21
like like 18 bucks. Rumor has it that the uh
1:16:27
Xbox is going to be partnering with Steam and that kind of stuff so that I'll have access to the Steam market
1:16:32
through my Xbox. That'll be badass. All right. Yeah. Or at least on the next Xbox.
1:16:38
This next story I have here from the uh the Geek What's Geek this week was something that happened last week after
1:16:45
our show and I was like, "What's going what's what's this all about?" I I clicked on. I was like, "Oh, that's
1:16:51
really cool." And what am I talking about, folks? Um, so there was like a a
1:16:56
competition to to to pick the next um
1:17:01
Lego kit and uh people would make their own custom Lego kit. And if you if you
1:17:08
got over I think 10,000 votes, then your kit would become an official Lego set.
1:17:15
And this one is for the X Files. Now,
1:17:21
see if I can maybe pull this up on screen here.
1:17:32
Come on. There's my mouse. All right. Um,
1:17:40
where is it? G this week
1:17:46
and
1:17:53
See? Go. So, what are you looking for right now?
1:17:59
Oh, I'm trying to pull up on on the screen here so people who are watching the video can see what I'm talking
1:18:04
about. Here we go. All right. So, here it is. The uh X Files Lego kit. Me
1:18:12
resize this. So, if we were watching on YouTube right now, should we be seeing it?
1:18:18
Yes, it should be coming because I noticed I think I noticed this on the on a past episode, too. Like, it
1:18:24
sounded like you were sharing stuff, but it was just showing the logo like the what's like right now. I I I hadn't done this before, but I I
1:18:32
decided I wanted to show this this kit. So, it right now it's just showing what's geek this week.
1:18:38
Um, yeah, hold on. Here we go. I wanted to get this right before I put
1:18:44
it on screen. Here we go. So, the kit is basically it is a a a a
1:18:53
rectangled kind of box with a it's only a box in in that the the
1:19:00
bottom shape is a is a square. It's a box, but on top of it on top Oh, there it Okay, now it's coming up.
1:19:06
on top. It has like a a woodland scene with a UFO like beaming somebody aboard
1:19:11
the ship. And it I'm I'm guessing that this kit, depending on how many pieces
1:19:17
it has, will probably be about two or 30 hund bucks. It also looks like it could
1:19:23
be a pretty decent size kit, too. So, um, this is a X Files LEGO kit. Yeah. Yeah. And it has it has uh Fox and
1:19:30
Fox Moulder and and and Dana Scully and I think two or three other people in there as well. Let me look at it real
1:19:36
quick. Um, I saw this and one of my roommates is a massive like uh fan of
1:19:43
the show. Oh yeah, Skinner's in there. It looks like the smoking man is also in there. Um,
1:19:51
and there's an alien. So, I think that looks cool. And here's here's a here's a better shot of the of
1:19:57
the office. And uh it even has his I want to believe
1:20:03
poster on the wall, too. But, uh,
1:20:09
it says here, "Keep an eye out for more development news on the Wet Wires, the
1:20:15
XFiles Lego set. And for more, here's everything we know about Ryan Cougler's
1:20:20
upcoming reboot of the series. We talked about that a couple weeks ago, the reboot of XFiles." And uh, yeah, I don't
1:20:28
know. I think it looks cool. It might not be a a big kit, so it may not be as expensive as I'm thinking, but it might
1:20:34
be um at the very least it'll be about 160 bucks, I think. So, but it looks cool. I
1:20:41
like it. If I had the money to buy it, I'll definitely buy it.
1:20:48
So, let's take that out. And we're back. Um so, that is I think the last of the
1:20:55
what's geek this week. That is it for that. So, we should move on to the uh
1:21:02
weird [ __ ]
1:21:07
weird [ __ ] where we dig up the craziest quirkiest stories that make you go, "What the heck just happened?" Buckle
1:21:13
up. It's about to get weird. All right, so this week's what uh that's
1:21:19
some weird [ __ ] I didn't have a lot to pull from. Uh, so one of the things that
1:21:24
I I was talking to somebody about like how difficult it's been to find weird stories because a lot of the stories
1:21:30
that come up in weird is all the [ __ ] that our government's doing right now. And I don't really want to continue
1:21:35
talking about that stuff in the back half of the show. Uh, yeah. So, a friend of mine was like, "What?
1:21:41
Haven't you ever heard of the black eyed children?" I was like, "What are you talking about?" Apparently, it's a paranormal thing. Uh, black
1:21:48
We talked about this last week. Oh, did we? Yeah. Oh, [ __ ] Okay, then I'll take that off the list and we will move on to the next
1:21:54
thing because I I I didn't remember if we talked about that or not. Um, set them up. I'll knock them down.
1:22:00
Excellent. Uh, flying car prototype. Did we talk
1:22:05
about that last? Um, no. But it makes me want to watch the flying car sketch between uh Dante
1:22:11
and Randall, right? Uh, have you you seen that? I have. I have seen that. So, basically
1:22:17
what this is, it is a quadcopter that is ridable, but it has a a body on it, so
1:22:25
it looks kind of like it could be a car. And uh I've seen a guy ride a quadcopter.
1:22:32
So, this one's like just standing on it. Yeah, this isn't like that. This is like it has a it has like a pod in the middle
1:22:38
where you can there's like a seat and controls and it has a like a body around it. So, it has like the shape of like a
1:22:45
kind of like a very generic looking car. Um, apparently the link I have for this
1:22:51
story is just a YouTube video. Um, so what the YouTube
1:22:57
Okay, it's a short even. It's not just a video. It's a short. Here we go. Here's the actual video which will have like a
1:23:05
description and stuff I can talk about. Uh, it says uh it's got 40,000 views. uh
1:23:11
was posted 3 months ago says new car from LF Aeronautics. So
1:23:17
some of these look like AI images or CG and that's one of the things that people they comment in the video about like
1:23:24
it's not CGI, it's not AI. Uh, and it shows his car like in in a position
1:23:30
where it's it's in traffic or it's simulated traffic where there's a bunch of cars in a in a driveway and he does a
1:23:38
vertical takeoff and moves in front of the car that's in front of him and then lands in front of the guy. Um, the video
1:23:45
itself is about four minutes long. Um, it does like an intro. talks to the
1:23:50
founder of the of the company that makes this car uh and they talk about the competitors
1:23:56
and the operating modes and uh uh model zero ultralight which I don't
1:24:03
know what that means but it sounds like it's an ultralight is like an ultralight aircraft right it's so it's basically a backpack with a
1:24:10
fan and a and a and a parachute yes that's I don't know if I want to ride in
1:24:16
this thing but now watch the video It's It actually looks like a
1:24:22
I am That's what That's They all look fake to me except for like maybe this one shot at the very beginning, but then
1:24:32
who knows? I mean, the the Olaf Aeronautics flying car prototype.
1:24:38
Yeah, it could just be one of those things that looks so unnatural that it looks fake. it. I mean, the the the the opening video I
1:24:45
see is him flying over the white car and there's lots of lots of dust being blown everywhere and uh
1:24:53
it looks like a giant model like helicopter with a with a car skin on it.
1:24:59
But uh I don't know. I it it looked interesting enough to talk about.
1:25:04
It's very cool. like if it's if this is real like like I I it's I mean even just
1:25:10
as a prototype like as a concept it's it's very interesting like are we going to have to start dealing with because
1:25:16
even if whether it's this car or it's like this guy that is on TikTok who flies around on his hover pad and uh
1:25:24
well he got a ticket because he touched down at a red light when he shouldn't have. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, and like I said,
1:25:32
the it's been difficult to find, uh, uh, you know, some weird [ __ ] stories.
1:25:39
So, um, the next one is about a bear who
1:25:44
gets trapped inside of a truck in Colorado. Uh,
1:25:49
oh, yeah. So, a bear managed to get too close. Uh, weird.
1:25:55
A bear managed to close itself inside of a parked car in Colorado and demolish the interior of the vehicle before being
1:26:02
freed by a sheriff's deputy in Jefferson County. Sheriff's office shared body
1:26:09
camera footage recorded by a deputy summoned to the location in the foothills. Oh, there's a bear in there.
1:26:18
Come on. Uh, the deputy can be heard saying after peering through the window.
1:26:25
Oh my god. This is why you lock your car door, man.
1:26:31
This [ __ ] doesn't happen if you if you keep your doors closed and locked.
1:26:36
I'd be more worried about I'm watching the video right now. I'd be more worried about people driving off of my car than
1:26:42
Hi. Which the red one? I'm watching the video right now. Are
1:26:48
you able to share it? Oh, there's a bear in there. I I'm playing the audio from it. Thanks for showing them so fast.
1:26:53
Yeah, no problem. Oh, so here's what we're going to do. I got a rope.
1:27:00
So, I'll just tie it to the door handle. Skip ahead.
1:27:06
Tighter door handle. Just going to pull the door open from
1:27:13
like 10 ft away.
1:27:20
I'll be I'll be sharing this video on our on our Facebook page.
1:27:26
Come on. Go on.
1:27:32
Go on. That that poor bear just got stuck in a
1:27:38
car and then like he wanted to get out so trying it's like what are you supposed to do if
1:27:44
you leave food in your car and the car unlocked. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Hopefully these
1:27:50
people have learned a lesson about locking the car door and not leaving
1:27:55
uh or leaving don't leave the door open and having food in your car to attract
1:28:02
animals into your car. So yeah, that bear has detailed that car.
1:28:08
Yeah. And and not in a way that is preferable to the uh to the owner, I think. All right. Uh
1:28:17
this next one, this is definitely one of the ones that I Okay, this definitely falls into the that's some weird [ __ ] is
1:28:23
uh medical clinic pleads uh people to stop bringing in
1:28:30
unsolicited samples, urine samples.
1:28:35
What? Um, a a medical clinic in Scotland has asked
1:28:42
local residents to stop bringing in inappropriate or unsolicited urine samples.
1:28:48
The Sultan Surgery in Fraserboro, Aberdeenshshire
1:28:53
said on social media that doctors and medical staff at the clinic have been un
1:29:00
inundated with a high volume of unsolicited urine samples, often in
1:29:06
non-medical household containers instead of sterile sample containers. Please be
1:29:11
advised, we are no longer able to accept urine samples unless they have been
1:29:17
specifically requested by the practice. The post said this change is necessary
1:29:25
due to the high volume of inappropriate or unsolicited samples being submitted,
1:29:31
which affects our ability to provide timely care to all patients.
1:29:38
I mean what what what I what I want to know is
1:29:46
what instigated this. Why all I got to got to know?
1:29:51
Does it say down further if I keep reading? Probably does. And I'm just I'm I'm I'm I'm exhausted from reading that
1:29:58
man. I just a British Medical Association Scotland
1:30:05
representative explained doctors need to perform exa an examination before they
1:30:10
can interpret urine test results. Each unsolicited sample handed in requires
1:30:18
time and medical supplies to test in practice. contact the patient for
1:30:24
information and then interpret the results and or send away for further testing. The
1:30:31
representative told SC STV, which I'm sure is some sort of uh cable network or
1:30:38
something. Uh, one doctor speaking anonymously to the Times of London said
1:30:43
multiple clinics have had to put up signs asking patients to not bring in
1:30:48
unsolicited urine samples. We really, really want patients to speak to a clinician for proper medical assessment
1:30:56
before we ask them to bring in a sample, the doctor said. And when they do, we
1:31:04
will issue them a sample bottle to return rather than a random domestic container, which can sometimes be
1:31:11
inappropriate. Oh my god, what are people pissing into that they're bringing to the doctor's
1:31:17
office? I want to know, but at the same time, I don't want to know. Oh, man. Because I
1:31:24
know the I know it's going to be disturbing, but it's also going to be really, really, really funny.
1:31:29
All right. The doctor said that the culprits are often older patients seeking to be tested for urinary tract
1:31:36
infections without first contact, without first consulting a medical expert.
1:31:41
So, so they're just showing up with a jar of their of their urine going, "You got to check my pee. I think I have an infection. You got to take a look. You
1:31:48
got to do it. Hey, you're Yeah, you're you're a doctor, right? Does this does it does
1:31:53
this does this look infected to you? Does this look infected to you? And there he's pulling up a jar. He's pulling pulling down his pants and
1:32:00
showing his left butt cheek. Does that look infected? Yeah. Sorry.
1:32:06
That's not my impression of Scottish people. That's just my my impression of someone who's really really intoxicated
1:32:12
trying to show his butt to the doctor cuz that's what I think of when I think of pe Scottish people bringing in jars
1:32:20
of piss. God, you know, somebody set them up to
1:32:26
do that, right? You know that somebody he's like, "You know what' be really funny is if you brought in a mason jar
1:32:31
full of urine or just a flat of or what would be better is if
1:32:37
you brought in a a a used condom filled with piss. That is not what a condom is for,
1:32:44
right? Oh man. All right. Well, uh and then the last story I have here,
1:32:53
this is it for today, guys. Uh, over 300 people in T-Rex inflatable
1:32:59
costumes race like horses at Washington State Racrack. Yes,
1:33:06
T-Rexes like horses. Yeah. Emerald Downs Racetrack in Auburn,
1:33:12
Washington, held their hilarious T-Rex World Championship races on June 28th,
1:33:18
2025, where over 300 people from across the United States and Canada wore T-Rex
1:33:25
costumes and raced against each other like horses after being released from the gate.
1:33:32
I can picture it. I I already know how this looks. I've seen it before. Click the Click the video, man. and
1:33:38
T-Rexes away and they come flying down the stretch in the championship
1:33:44

1:34:07
it's Auburn, so I'm not entirely surprised. Um, so I've I've seen this do I've seen them do
1:34:14
this at like minor league ballparks for baseball, and they this this is a thing.
1:34:19
This is a thing that's definitely gets done on the regular. It It says here that this race began in
1:34:25
2017 as a team building exercise for employees of Trigard Pest Control, and
1:34:31
it grew from there. In fact, Andrew Stuber of Houston, Texas, who won the
1:34:36
men's championship in its original member is an original
1:34:42
member of Trigard. Uh, okay. I guess there's another video down here, but
1:34:48
yeah, it's those inflatable T-Rex costumes and uh several videos here. Oh
1:34:54
my god. And somebody actually like came down in in in a parachute, too, wearing a T-Rex
1:35:00
