Episode 269: Chris Makes The Greatest Point Mike's Ever Heard

0:00What's up, Coons? We are back for another episode of Notes of the Goon. I'm Eros Chris Vega and I'm joined as always by my stalwart producer Michael Harrington. How are you Mike? Stalkward is Evercress? No. Mike, obviously this is where we cover all business. Quick question. Yes. What happened to that ghost lady? Pretty sure she's still haunting that one highway. That one highway. Yeah. I've thought about this almost every day since that last time we recorded in the car coming back from Maryland. Yeah, me too. That was truly haunting. Yeah. Why was that ghost lady on the road? Why was she doing that ghost thing? It doesn't make much sense to me. Especially with the emergency vehicle

1:06so close up the road. There was an emergency vehicle up the road not servicing a vehicle. No. And then that lady was walking towards traffic. Yeah. Typically if you're trying to flag down traffic, you usually are in the shoulder walking with traffic, waving, looking back and waving at cars coming towards you, but you're walking the same direction the cars walking. That's how that works. And that ghost lady was coming right for us. Frankly, I'm glad you shot her in the face, Mike. I mean, dude, I did what needed doing. Yeah. I'm sorry. I had to get home to my daughter, dude. Yeah. I mean, that's why we shot a ghost in the face. I mean, look, dude, she wasn't a ghost then. She's a ghost now. She's for sure ghost now. She couldn't not be. That's just not how bullets or ghosts were. Yeah. Like I said,

2:07this is all business. So obviously comes to the armored league on April night at the palladium midtown Manhattan. I'm very excited for that. Armored league.com for tickets. promo code is gas, correct? I don't know if there's a promo code live for this one. If I'm being honest, I don't think they need a promo code. What do you mean? These things have been selling out and selling out quickly. I would say if you do want to come, I would get tickets ASAP. Yeah, I would go to the armored league.com and make sure you get tickets. Also, come check out anxiety attack. That's a Mike show every third Thursday at New York comedy club. Yeah. And Chris is going to be on it this month. Yes. I did agree to that. March 19th. I got to get them a poster ASAP. I love doing stand-up the same week as St. Patrick's Day. In a figure, it makes sense. You're like a solid St. Patrick's Day host. I'll tell you this, though.

3:07I don't want to deal with all the Irish from Ireland that are in town going to comedy shows two days after St. Patrick's Day. That makes sense. Dude, they're the worst audience because they're still here. How do you even have a country that has nothing but firefighters? Well, I mean, they weren't firefighters when they left the country. No, they were. That's it. That's the reason why their economy is so dogshade over there is because they're only firefighters. Then who's tending all the sheep? Well, I mean, you mean the bars? Yeah. That's it. It's bartenders, firefighters. The bartenders can't come over here, though. No, they don't have good unions. No, they have, they have sheep herders there. No. They're done. All the sheep have left Ireland. All the sheep are out of Ireland. Yeah, like they were like, we were only here for the snakes. And then they had to leave. That's true. That's right, folks. Sheep fuck snakes. That's right. I'm a biologist. You heard it here first, folks. I heard that. But I hate a two

4:08days after St. Patrick's Day pissy audience. They're just, they're going to be annoying. It's the tail end of their vacation. I blame you for this. If I had to talk to one person with a broke, I'm going to kill myself. No, you're not going to have to talk to any of them. If I have to hear one person with a broke, say something, I'm going to kill myself. Sure. I mean, that's just the way that works. Unless it's a lady. She better have red hair and fat tits. That mean they all do. I don't think that's true. No, no. I think some of them do, but it's a crapshoot. Who knows where it's going to go? Moving on. Look, there's so many things going on in the world. It's kind of crazy out there. Mike, do you know understand how fucking crazy this entire world is? What are you doing on your phone? I am. I'm texting people. I'll let them know that I'm no longer booking the naked roast.

5:09You're texting everybody right now during this show? Well, Chris, if I don't do it, I'm going to forget to do it entirely. Why are you remembering now? Well, I mean, submissions are doing by tomorrow. So they got to get them into Christina Rebecca soon. We've been here for hours. Yeah, but I did. We there was one show and then we there was another show. I was doing it. But then you're doing it during this show. Post production. I started it before we started doing this show. How many people are you texting? I had like literally a dozen people signed up because you're not booking the naked roast anymore. Yeah, unfortunately, you had the entire naked roast booked and then they were like, you don't book the naked roast. I had most of the naked roast. Tell me the hottest girl that you had booked for the naked roast. In your opinion, I can't do all that. My wife is the hottest girl that I booked for anything. She wasn't booked for the naked roast. I've never seen Alex naked that you know. Yeah, dude, I don't know. There was a couple of hot chicks. I had a very hot

6:10judge booked. Oh, me? No, come on. Oh, come on. I think I look pretty good naked. Come on now. Who do you have booked? It's Judge Penny Pax. I mean, she's a dud, but she looks great naked. Is she a dud? She was so boring on the SDR show at Skankfest. I feel like she would get way more excited for people being naked in front of her and telling me like how like I don't think she enjoys meansbeer to jokes. She asked she came to that show last year and said I want to be a part of that so bad. Okay. So like I can imagine why would why would they not book her? I'm sure they they might. Okay, I don't have that. So you're sitting here instead of talking to me, your friend, you're just DMing with Penny Pax. Look, Chris noted fat titted ginger points are who won't be at

7:10your posting Patrick's Day show. Penny Pax that you know of what if I get you what if what if while I'm DMing with Penny Pax, I get her to agree to come doing anxiety attack. I don't care about that. What are you talking about? I'm telling you she's a bad audience. Right, but I'm saying she's a fat titted ginger, which was the other half of like it's okay as long as they're fat titted ginger. They talked to me in a broke. It's okay if they're fat titted. She'll talk to you in whatever she's been doing character work. This is exotic all over again the way you pitching this. I don't like it. I don't like it at all. I can't believe they won't let you judge the naked roast anymore. They won't let you book the naked. They won't let me book the naked roast. So all right. It's not the look. It's not the end of the world. I've been fired before from different jobs and various. Yes. You know usually landed my feet. Moving on.

8:15All right, let's talk about all the things in the world. Are you still texting about the naked roast? High people want to know. The whole thing that we just did was for me to be like stop doing it. It's so distracted. Moving on. But Mike, there's so many things going on in the world like what? You said me 57 things a day. I do. You said you quite a lot. There's a lot of stuff happening in this world. Now, you're very upset about a lot of stuff involving a certain group of people. Let's watch that video with that guy. Flip it and fly in like a like a some sort of arsenal soccer player. You think he was flopping? He's flopping. All right. I thought honestly I thought when I brought it up earlier that you were not happy with me showing this sort of thing on a on a show where your voice is the first one heard.

9:20But no, it's fine. This is just funny to me because here's the thing is like anybody can have a persecution complex and this guy does. So this is a it's a it's an orthodox Jewish gentleman in I don't know what city is that. Looks like some sort. Is that Quebec or something? It looks like it. I mean, yeah, it looks like it. Somebody says a pro genocidal man. I mean, I don't like the comment. But this is a guy who acts is acting on camera like he's been hitting the face. Well, no, I mean, it's somebody who's coming to a pro Palestinian protest. I'm just going to throw this out there. He snatched his own Yamaha off his head. Yeah, he did that. Yeah. And then like is the cop is even looking at him like buddy. Like look at the cop's face. So there's a cop right behind him coming out of the car.

10:23Doesn't see the whole thing. And then by the end of this, there's just a cop in full view who's watching this guy act the way he's acting as if he got hit and this cop is going. Keep it moving, buddy. Keep it moose. What are we doing? What are the, oh, it doesn't say like, you know, LAPD or whatever on the on the back of the police jacket unfortunately. But it just this this gentleman just looks like he just nobody touches him. Not one single person and he starts. And I don't know. Here's the thing. There's no sound in this video. I don't know if he's being silly. Look, if he's just being silly, then he's very funny. I mean, that's hilarious if he's being silly. If he's just like, oh, are you killed me? Oh, it hates glaven. That's fucking funny. If he's actually just acting like people beat the shit out of him, it's awful.

11:24Yeah, I don't know. It doesn't it doesn't go any further. Yeah, I know. I really wish I had some more back. If anybody has more information on this, either reach out to either of us on social media or ask the goon at gmail.com is our email. But I would love to know more about this guy. And like, here's the thing is like, there's always this conversation about victimhood comp like complexes in modern society, right? I think this is pretty fair. The amount of people who now get touched and think they've been assaulted. And that guy didn't even get touched. Let's be clear. But like, the amount of people who like once you let the definition of words hurt mean speeches assault. Now everybody's always being assaulted constantly. Right. So that's where we're at. This is like a big problem. In general, may or may not have to do with certain peoples, Mike,

12:27Jesus. Oh, I see you said that mayor may not. You're saying he's the mayor? No, I thought you want to talk about mayor, mom, Donnie? Yeah. Well, I figured we're on this subject. Oh, I have a longer version of the video. Oh, really? And it seems like there's a little bit of sound also having a hard time confirming this. But it looks like this might have been from all the way back in 2024. Just went viral again recently. Oh, really? That's even worse. Right. So this is the gentleman. Oh, I like the other egg roll. Yeah, yeah.

13:30All right. So this is in a niece or nice friends. Nice. All right. I knew it looked like he's being held up back by a friend. It does seem that way. By the way, he was also acting tough and then all of a sudden yelled, are you hit? Yeah. So I mean, that also seems kind of like the playbook, right? It's like act off to maybe get them to, you know what I'm saying? It's like if you're, if you're acting tough with somebody, like that's naturally going to get them to like, you know, ball their fist and put them in front of their nuts. And like they're then more likely to at least make like an aggressive looking motion towards you. Sure. At which point you can really sell the fake. Could be, could be. Seems like perhaps the predator has become the prey in some sort of chase. You know what I mean?

14:38Predator. Well, yeah, the chaser has become the chase. Oh, okay. So it's like a game of tag. Moving on. But yes, there was a protest this past weekend in New York City that was potentially the stupidest possible protest they could ever happen in New York City. It was a protest against public Muslim prayer. It was a guy named Thomas Lang who I'm not familiar with. Mike, are you familiar with this person? Thomas Lang? Yeah. No. He was, he's being called a white supremacist. He at the very least does not like Muslim people. But to protest the idea of people being allowed to pray in public just on that was the name of the protest. So I'm not, I'm not stretching here.

15:42Is stupid. Now what followed is even stupider. One, as an aside, I saw a video of an Asian gentleman wearing a red steep tech who was supposedly this is what this protest is from. It's a bunch of pargy-looking whites that were at the counter protest. And this guy, somebody threw some water in this guy's face or maybe piss or something. I don't know. And he just rocked them and ran away. But literally you hear in the video, somebody yell, Asian voices are marginalized. And it's just a white lady yelling that at this Asian man who's at this protest, which by the way, I'm actively saying is a stupid protest. Saying that Muslim people are not allowed to pray outside is insane and stupid. If you want to say they're not allowed to pray

16:42at the 9-11 museum, okay. But in general, on a public street, I don't care. You want to unroll a rug and fucking kneel and pray outside? All right, make sure people can walk by. That's the main rule in New York City. That's my main issue. If you're protesting that, it just seems like you're trying to get a rise out of people, which is what this guy did, and he did get a rise out of people. Have you, would you look him up and who he is? Just give him a look. I don't know, again, I don't know who, I think it was Scott Lang, but I think that's also Ant-Man. So put, I guess, Scott Lang, white supremacist. And again, I don't know that this guy's a white supremacist, more than just an asshole and a, yeah, he might be a Canaanite. He may be some sort of just bigot against Muslims. Muslims are religion, Islam's a religion, not a race. Jake Lang, a pardon, J-6 guy.

17:48Pardon, January 6th guy. Yeah. Okay, I have. Does that make him a white supremacist necessarily? No, not necessarily. Jake Angelli, I don't think, was a white supremacist. I think he was just a, he was a Minotaur. Yeah, he was a Minotaur. Yes, he was really just enthralled by the labyrinthine nature of the Capitol Bill. He's a, he's, yes, he's a mega influencer in January 6th participant who attracted a small group of scholars joining him in a protest of Islam outside Zoron's home. Well, I don't know how many protesters were there. I'm sure it wasn't that many, you'd be pretty dumb to join in this level of protest in New York City with this type of protest in New York City. But I do, am I correct in the name of the protest? The name of the protest? It was the protest against Muslim prayer in public or public Muslim prayer. I think he also had a pig roast. Did he really? Yeah. I mean, that's, I hope they didn't waste the pig.

18:50Oh, dude, I'll go get that pig. I'm just saying. I'm going to watch on the piggy. Yeah, yeah, you're going to go big, big, big, big. Dude, Alex pointed out to me how many Homer Simpson has things I'd be doing just ironically. Oh, yeah. Do you, do you not see? Recently, I have, it's a lot. All right, let me see. Hell day, stop the Islamic takeover of New York City rally outside the residence of Moses mayor. What he labeled the Islamification of the city and called for an end to public Muslim prayer in New York. Well, that's, I mean, what I don't know what a call for an end to public Muslim prayer is. The Islamic takeover of New York City is crazy. It's been 25 years. They're doing a worse job than we did in Iraq. Like we stop it. That's very, Muslims have not taken over New York City. They're

19:52not taking over New York City. A man won an election because he ran against two idiots. Like he was just saying stuff. Now, do I think, and I'll, I'll show you why I don't really love Zora and Mamdani right now. Pull up the tweet of his response to this. But however, he has just been on message. And you can't also, by the way, you can't be a far left communist and a fucking Islamic fundamentalist. Yeah, they are kind of diametrically opposed. Yeah. Like it's just they're not the same thing. So you're saying the one where it says yesterday, what's premises Jake Lang? Uh, yes. So here it is. Yesterday, white supremacist Jake Lang organized a protest outside Gracie mansion, rooting in bigotry and racism. Such hate has no place in New York City. It is in a front to our city's value and the unity that defines who we are. That's a fantastic tweet right there. Now, here's my problem with this entire tweet. What followed

20:57was even more disturbing violence at protest is never acceptable. The attempt to use an explosive device and hurt others is not only criminal. It is reprehensible and the antithesis of who we are. I want to thank the brave men and women of the NYPD who acted quickly to keep New Yorker safe. Our officers ran toward danger. That video of that dude, the, the, the clip of that dude hop in the barricade was pretty fire. Actually, the guy who ended up to see it. The guys who did this. It was like a black cop hopping of barricades is yoke and dude up demonstrating once again, the courage and dedication. It takes to protect this city every single day. My administration is closely monitoring the situation and are remaining close contact with our police commissioner. Now again, the problem with this is the second paragraph. What followed was even more disturbing violence at a protest is never acceptable. The attempt to use an explosive device and hurt others is not only criminal, it is reprehensible and the antithesis of who we are. Now, let me say something about this. You know how I found out about this protest? This tweet. Had I only read this

22:01tweet, I would think and I actually what I did was Google what the heck happened because I'm the kind of person who then does that. Not everybody does. I'm sure there are more than just me out there listening to my voice that do that. But the problem with this entire tweet was in that second paragraph, you would think that somebody that went to Jake Lang's protest was holding an explosive device. Correct. It doesn't say counter protestors anywhere. It doesn't say the names of the people with the explosives. Well, yes, in that tweet. Yes, he did do a follow tweet that included the names of those people after everybody was mad at this tweet called the nicest terrorist after everybody. Well, I didn't even know that they were necessarily connected to ISIS. They were ISIS influenced terrorists or whatever. He did after everybody was mad at this tweet. And this is actually what I'm saying is this was bad enough that he did this in this way and also masterfully written semantically.

23:09Let me see the follow up tweet and I'll be the judge. But this is the first thing I saw about this. It was before he had posted any other tweets. And I then had to Google this thing because I'm just on Twitter pooping as I want to do. And I have to go I have to go what? There was a white supremacist who threw a bomb. And then I had to find out what happened. He doesn't say the kids names because they're Muslim names. He doesn't say counter protestors. Like that is like a semantic thing. Yes, and no. All right. So what I'm going to argue is what followed was even more disturbing. So if you know about it at this point, you know that he is condemning the counter protestors. But if you know about it, right? Yes. Okay. I found out about it from a very confusing worded like New York Times headline that just popped up on my phone, which was also very bad. It was the whole thing was very confusing to just read. But it's also a thing where it's like the counter protest, the the anti-Muslim counter protest through a bomb at white supremacist.

24:13And it's like, that's too many words for a headline. And then they mentioned his wife in the first paragraph because they're using AI on the back end. And she's being Googled because of like Instagram posts she liked shortly after October 7th. All right. Well, for always even more disturbing, violence that a protest is never acceptable. The attempt to use an explosive device to hurt others is not only criminal. It is reprehensible in the antithesis of who we are. Now, I assume when he says we, he is othering Jake Lang in the first paragraph, right? White supremacist Jake Lang had this protest with his followers. This is counter to who we are. Yes, but you are reading this after reading a news article about this. I am finding out my news directly from the mayor. Okay. Well, that's your first bra. On Twitter. To be fair, what time do this get tweeted? This is 157 p.m. I woke up at 1 p.m. that day. Okay. Meander around my house remembering

25:16how to make coffee made coffee. That coffee made me have to shit. My first news of the day was opening Twitter and immediately seeing a tweet from the mayor saying that a terrorist attack happened that morning. Right. And if that's how you're getting your news like you should. No, it's not how you should. It's a poorly. It's look. Here's the thing. You read a confusing news article from the paper of record that was because you had the context of reading four paragraphs down in that article, you had the context that when you saw that tweet, you knew what it was about. But the fact of the matter is the mayor's tweet about a bomb that almost went off in front of his house should have been more clear cut than the news article from the four profit newspaper. You I agree. However, you are getting your news from a guy who eats rice with his hands and a burrito with a knife. I'm the person who brought that to everyone's attention. Right.

26:18Then why in God's name would you go to that guy for news? This is what my whole point is. Let's stop getting around. Cult of personality stuff. Let's stop attacking this guy for clicks. Let him hang himself for being bad at this sort of thing. Like he should let him keep apologizing. Stop coming at him for nothing because what you do is actually they're just coming at him for nothing again. This is this should make everybody take pause with this guy. And I'm going to throw this out there. The guy has kind of won me over more so than I thought he would. He is not as bad as I thought he would be. Well, I like I like Tommy Tuberville like shitting on him. Right. Because he's fucking sitting ishtar or whatever that holiday is with, you know, a bunch of Muslim people. And it was he's having his he's breaking fast with Muslims during Ramadan. That's what that is. Yes. I've never heard of you break. Yeah. That's what that meal is called when you break your fast. He's Muslim. And he's of course. And he's observing Ramadan.

27:19Tommy Tuberville was like, oh my god. Like 25 years after 9-11. And this is what's going on in Gracie mansion, right? He's Muslim. Right. Well, he's allowed to be Muslim. Well, he, well, he, he, he, not if Antman has anything to say about it. So he posted. So he posted like, you know, playing going into the towers and, you know, mom Donnie sitting on a pillow eat it, you know, breaking bread. Yeah, I know. It's terrible. No, it's like, I guess it's just trying to stir up blanket Islamophobia because Tommy Tuberville is like very deep in the, the part of MAGA that is like, I don't know who you're talking to. Tommy Tuberville. He was a coach who is now a massive politician. Tommy Tuberville. Tommy Tuberville was a, this isn't a character. This isn't a bad guy who's the mayor in a town that the powerpuff girls go to sometimes. You think, right? But no, this isn't. He's not the mayor of a town full of potatoes.

28:27He's the police. Tommy Tuberville, the mayor of Tuberville. He's the police commissioner in town full of tubas. Oh, okay. I'm trying to find the exact, the exact tweet that I saw, but it's like this rivalry with man, my cheese. It's really got, it's really gotten out of hand. But sir, what are your thoughts on the grimace? Mayor, mayor. They're holding the hamburger, the hostage in Tuberville. Oh, man, what was the first day of Ramadan? I don't know. I'm not Muslim. Ask so on my money. True. I know one of the guys on my dark team can't play till the end of Ramadan and that's in for him. He's not allowed to play at all. Well, he's just doing it. I mean, come on. He drinks alcohol the rest of the year. Yes, Senator Tommy Tuberville. So he was a football coach. Now he's a senator and he's running for governor of Alabama. Okay. And so he's just mad that a guy had dinner

29:34after fasting. Well, it's also lent you idiot. True. His whole thing is like, you know, you just shouldn't name as a coach at Auburn for a number of years and then text, text and Cincinnati. And now he's a senator. Yeah, he did not, he just didn't like the fact that, you know, he considered it, you know, like a Muslim one. You know what I mean? One in election. Right. In which people voted for him because this is America. Right. Except, you know, here we go. We should do things like in Iran where we just wait until America kills the guy who's in charge. And then 40 years, kills 40 years later, kills the new guy in charge. And then they just put a new guy in charge. And then that guy hates America too. And then we wait 40 more years. And then America kills the new guy in charge. That's what we should do as New Yorkers. Thanks. Thanks. Wait for America to kill

30:39our mayor every 40 years. We'd be stuck with Bloomberg, Mike. Well, you and me have any big soda to save your life? Do you remember when, like, it is kind of wild that they that they got rid of like the old feeble like anti-nukes, Ayatollah to bring in the like young hot shot Ayatollah who really wants nukes and whose father, wife, and children were all killed recently? It is like, it's hysterical that they're just like, hey, we're going to speed up the process of creating radical Islam in a region. Let's kill a bunch of kids immediately. Yeah, it is kind of wild. Yeah, the problem is Muslim prayer outside or a Muslim mayor eating a fucking dinner after fasting all day and still doing his job. Right. I did like his, I liked his response. I'm trying to find it on on Zoran's actual page. Well, I want to see I do want to see

31:46his follow up tweet to this because I remember just being like, yo, this tweet is ridiculous. Like, how are you not going to name the two guys? Nate, like, like, okay, so here it is. Amir Balat and Ibrahim Kiyumi have been charged with committing a heinous act of terrorism claiming their allegiance to ISIS. They should be held fully accountable for their actions. We will continue to keep New Yorkers safe. We will not tolerate terrorism or violence in our city. Okay, great. That's better. Their names were available when he tweeted the first thing. Yeah, I mean, you don't want to give seven different names in one tweet. Then give zero names. Yeah, but I mean, and use the term counter protestor. The thing was started by the thing was started by the thing. I agree. You should say counter protestor. I agree with that. It does seem like it's part of the same group. All I'm saying is

32:48like that kind of felt like he definitely knew what was happening. And also, let's just point this out. I'm just going to throw this out there. How stupid do you have to be to counter protest, a protest against Muslims that's definitely just steeped in nonsensical fucking bigotry by throwing bombs in competently. It's pretty well. Probably bombs in general is dumb. If you want to make people hate Muslims less, because the first thing people think of when they think of Muslims, these bombs, uh, if they're racists, particularly, but I usually think of, uh, chicken and lamb over rice and then secondly, right friends who are annoyingly religious. I have a friend named Shabir who will not pass you a beer. I swear that is not me making up a joke right now. My friend Shabir that I went to high school with, if he is standing in front of a refrigerator at a

33:50party and you go, Hey, can you pass me a beer? He's like, no. And I'm like, beer is in your fucking name. I'm going to drink the beer. You've known me for 25 years. I'm drinking the beer. Just hand it to me. Stop being a dick dickhead. I shouldn't sort of pipe on with him. I'll tell you that right now. Now, that's a guy who could alert the thing. I could have counter-oppested him. That would have been smart. Yeah. Um, so this was the Tommy Tuberville tweet. The enemy is inside the gate. I like hope. By the way, can you pull up just the foot? Let's talk about this. This is the photo they put of Mamdani sitting in his house. Just looking like a nice guy surrounded by, there's a white guy dead center. There's a white blonde lady to the left. And then just like, just young kids in the mayor saw like who the heck cares?

34:51Like, what could you possibly think that this like in what world does this look like a problem? And it's a bunch of young kids with their phones out clearly just taking cool pictures for Instagram. There's two people just looking at their phones. They're pulling it back up. They're not looking at their phones. They're literally taking pictures. No, no, that guy's taking a picture in those two people in the corners. That girl right there in the black shirt is just disinterested. Oh, yeah. And the black dude who's behind him is clearly just looking at his own phone. No, that's it. That's the only actual indeed dude in this. No, no, to the left. There's a guy with braids looking down. Oh, yeah. That guy's just looking at his own. I didn't even see that dude. That guy is just like whatever they're putting me in the background because I'm a black guy. I don't want to show my face in this photo because they don't want people to call me a token. I don't need Tommy Tuberville coming at me. I don't need Tommy Tuberville coming at me. You potato mother. All right, so less than 25 years apart, you know,

35:51it's been a lot and sent people to blow up the towers. Now people are ending Ramadan in the in Gracie mansion, right? The enemy is inside the gate says Tommy Tuberville. So I liked mom Donnie's response here. Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers. Well, that it's hard to argue with this guy. He is very good at staying on message sometimes to a fault in my opinion. How so? Just sometimes I'll like answer a question and it's just like you're just you're just being a politician that you can't get caught if you keep saying the same thing over and over again. And I don't know. Not that I don't think it's bad. I don't think I don't necessarily think it's bad that he's doing it, but I don't like the idea of where it can go. It's very that was more Sean Lynch that was I'm just here to not get fined, right? I'm just here to not get fined, baby. It's very I'm just here to not get fined and it's fine for him right now. I worry that this

36:55becomes every politician. So Mr. Clinton, I noticed you're in the Epstein files. I'm just here to bomb Kosovo. You know, we have a real Kosovo bombing problem. They're not being bombed. So I'm going to bomb Kosovo. And then there you go. You know, I just don't I don't like where that there are other things going on that are not the affordability crisis that are a problem. Yeah, this this photo does go hard. Dude, does it not? Dude, it just that's the most I'm getting too old for this shit photo I've ever seen in my life. Says you should have broken bread with chief Aaron Edwards, but no, you broke bread with anti-Semitic terror sympathizers that resigned. It wasn't even the same day. It was not the same day. No, but it's like now you like

37:57that by the way, none of these whites like that black guy before this. No, no, no, absolutely not. No, black cop chief. You think I'm gonna call him chief that opening war? Yeah, come on now. Why? Because his grandma said she was one quarter Cherokee. I don't think so. So this is the one thing that they keep I see a lot of comments about in the in the messages here, right? Like this is like the quote unquote ISIS salute, just the one finger up. And a kid is doing it here seemingly. So we're going to we're going to go back to the the okay symbol is white power. That's what we're doing. That's what we're doing. If I was in a photo, I'd be like, hey, most of you because I'm doing this and if you do this, you're just like, look at that Nazi. True. Like one finger you're doing is if he has his whole hand open to say, hi, that guy same same arm reach delete that part of the episode. The video part Ben blur that out.

39:03But he's doing that now all of a sudden, you're talking about he's a national socialist. You know what I mean? Like it's like, where are we? Where does this end with this guy? They just leave the guy alone. Let him. But by the way, let him get a couple months into his job. I didn't like the fact that liberals were giving him too much credit for the snow removal program that he had nothing to do with. What do you mean? Like that whole thing with guys shoveling snow. He had nothing to do with that. Eric Adams started that program. They just didn't need it because it barely snowed while he was the mayor. Oh, I've been on the books for that for years. Have you read. Did you go shovel this time? No. Why not? He was a lot of snow. Yeah, I actually just had others. I wasn't going to do it when it was cold. And then I had I was like, had others should do when it was the second blizzard. I was going to do it when everything was icy. That's why, by the way, everybody was like, well, I noticed in the last storm, there was more snow. And then he publicized it. And then the snow got removed. Then I went, well, in one storm, the temperature went down. And then in the other storm, the temperature went up. And I don't know if you know how snow works. This is what this is the problem with. And I'll be honest, this is Trump's fault. Actually,

40:06it's really Obama's fault. Cult of personality politicians are God awful. I would rather George Bush be an idiot who occasionally drives a good golf ball. Then have to deal with people that people are so married to liking and have made part of their personality. I liked Ron Paul a lot. I disagreed with him on abortion. What was what's his stance on that? He's anti. Is he? Yeah. Huh. But I'm just saying it's like there's things I disagree with Ron Paul about. Not the drug war, not the war wars. Those were my big things. Not like the locking people in cages for non-violent offenses for way too long. Those are, those, those are still major issues every time I consider a politician to be acceptable or not acceptable. Like it's, but it's like, that doesn't mean I didn't

41:09disagree with the guy a lot. Like I'll sit there. I'll sit here and say this right now. You know what I mess with? Rokana. You know who I disagree with on economics? Rokana. But him and Thomas Massey are out here like, yo, Epstein, let's go. I don't like Nancy Mace because I think she's crazy. You know what I agree with Nancy Mace on? You oppose and talking about everybody who's getting their sexual harassment suits covered in Congress. Which by the way, how crazy is it that that didn't pass? And then you got like the sex through all slush bond thing? Yeah, that didn't pass. And it was co-sponsored by Thomas Massey. Did you say how crazy is it that it didn't pass? But would you think there was a chance it was going to? No, I didn't. However, how great is it that how great is it though? Like that every member of Congress that insider trades gave Trump a standing ovation when he said he has to get insider trading out of Congress at the same time.

42:10We haven't spoke about it since it happened. But that didn't pass. But then you get things like and here's another, again, it goes back to your cult of personality thing. AOC is a cult of personality politician. She's not an actual politician. So now she's all over social media. I she was all over my Twitter feed criticizing this bill saying that it wasn't worded right for victims. And then did not respond to anybody going, so are you going to work on rewording the bill and then co-sponsoring it with either Thomas Massey or Nancy Mace? And she just never responded. But she voted against it because they didn't adequately protect victims. Yeah. She didn't suggest an amendment. She didn't. It's been a week. Does she have a solution to that language that's

43:12not there? She has an entire staff. This is the problem with liking politicians as people. They are not people. You'll never hear me say that about an ethnic group religion or race. Politicians are not people. Do not let them convince you that they're allowed in the house and on the furniture. They are animals, politicians. Now play in that game when you people. Disgusting. Mike. What? Any thoughts? No, that's the most succinct and well thought out thought you've maybe ever had on the show. So no, I have nothing else to add. Just that I mean the fact that I was talking to Corinne about this, the idea of the War Powers Act was way closer

44:23than the sexual slush fund was. That was not even. That didn't even come close. Well, here's another thing about just bipartisan politics. I'm sure Corinne said that the only people who... No, the War Powers Act was six Congress people didn't vote for it. Six Democrats. Everybody was passing around. Nobody mentions the fact that it was co-sponsored with Rokana and Thomas Massey who is a Republican. Yeah. I bet Corinne didn't mention that. Doesn't need to. Corinne didn't... What are we talking about here? I'm just saying the end of the day, it was like it did come down to like three or four Democrats who just didn't vote for it. And that's the reason why we didn't get the War Powers Act. And my argument was just like let's look at these people and how quote unquote safe their seats are. And like try to find somebody to run against them. I mean, how great was it that Dan Crenshaw got primaried? Love that. I thought they were going to take out wheels too.

45:27I can't stop him. He just rolin' rolin' rolin' rolin' Yeah, I like that. I just like the idea that you can have like... You can't see it coming. Did you watch Alec Stein on on a primary day? No. He he caught up with Crenshaw. Yeah. And had a lot of those... Came up on his left. I'm sorry. Did you not see me there, Dan? Hey, Dan, I bet you didn't see your opponent coming. Oh, really? Hey, Dan. Yeah, I mean, it's the most easy joke to make out of it. Yeah, that's... But it's also just to like... But now he can... Now he can do the dating feel that me and Stanley pitched to him years ago that he can take us up on. He just him as the bachelor. He calls it... I got my eye on you. You pitched that to him? Yeah. Live on the show. I mean, we pitched it. He didn't get back to it.

46:27Okay, so you pitched it and then like cut the clip out and sent it to him. Yeah, yeah. Okay. I'm feeling it into you. What do you mean? I believe you were the producer at the time and we said Mike, make sure you cut that and send that to Dan Crenshaw. Uh, sure. Then listen, if you said that, it definitely happened. And of course, why wouldn't it? It's crazy that we were thinking that I would even think that you wouldn't do something that you said you were going to do. Sure, this show will come out sometime in June. Let's talk about one quick thing and then get the heck out of here, right? We got all the plugs that you need to get in, right? Yeah, we got the armored league. Yeah, armored league. An exotic attack. Oh, third Mike Harrington. If you need a third Mike for and he showed that you might be Megan, you had a show with your two buddies, feels like you're missing something. Call third Mike Harrington. Well, here's the thing. You have been doing a show for a long time and sometimes you want to keep the show going because you'll love the show, but maybe you have some anger issues with your co-host. You need to slide somebody in there to

47:31break the tension every once in a while. Call third Mike Harrington. Mention notes of a good get 10% off my third Mike services. Third Mike services. Third Mike Harrington. That's what you want to do. Moving on. But you pulled you pulled up a great video of, well, first of all, you pulled up a great tweet about a year ago. We were supposed to get $2,000 doge rebates. And also no new wars. And then you also sent me within like in succession, you then sent me a video of pull up the tweet first. And then in succession, you immediately sent me a video of just things going out. A year ago, we were supposed to be getting $2,000 rebates checked. Doge was going to find $2,000,000 in waste. I don't think there isn't $2,000,000 in waste, by the way. Yeah, but Doge was going to find it. They were not going to find it the way. Four months that Elon was contracted. They were totally going to find it by eliminating

48:35Jackie Robinson's page on the army's website. That's where they were going to find $2,000,000 in waste. The whole thing that's very annoying about this, the entire thing with Elon Musk and weight and government waste in this and that is that now going forward. And this is what bothers me so much is the amount of people just immediately trying to re-eat the blue pill. We're not going back to questioning government. What's Trump's gone? We're going back to government the way it was, which is, so Christy Nomes getting a lot of smack for this ad that she put out that cost $250 million. Yeah. Trump is going to be gone at some point. And we're just going to pretend that Amtrak doesn't lose $4 every time they sell you a cheeseburger for $8. Like, we're going to go back to forgetting all of the government waste that exists because Doge was a mess and because Christy Nomes an asshole. Like, and we're going to go back to going like, no, you know, it's fine now. It's all fine. No, it's never going to be, there is that much waste.

49:40Like, we're going to go back to saying that there's no, like, I'm going to be told unironically because this thing is kind of racist with the Somalians in Minnesota. It is kind of racist. That there's, that it's not an issue because they also think welfare fraud is not an issue, which is probably less an issue of than Medicaid fraud. Medicaid fraud is a massive issue. And now, all of a sudden, half the country is going to believe it's not an issue because of the way the arguments are being framed. Of course, Medicaid fraud is an issue. The private sector spends billions of dollars a year investigating insurance fraud. Medicaid fraud is insurance fraud, except they don't have really that many people investigating the fraud. So it's easier to defraud them. It's also a bigger bureaucracy and harder to figure it out.

50:40That's it. It's easier to defraud. And now we're going to go back to thinking it doesn't exist. There is two trillion dollars for the fraud. Elon just didn't find it in four months. Crazy. While running three companies. I mean, not well, but still, he can't even find all the ways to Tesla. It's probably mostly in the trash cans. I think as we keep it, I'm sure they have a septic system. They have like a whole complex. Yeah. Maybe they keep it in the boring company tunnels. Oh, in the tunnels. That's where I would poop. Yeah. Get a little privacy down there. That'd be pretty fun. Nobody uses them for anything. Well, imagine you just drill a hole into the top and then you just get a shit in the tunnel. Do you remember how stupid the demo for the boring company tunnels were? No. Dude, it was literally like you drove a car onto like a roller coaster, like a shitty roller coaster track. If you can still find it and it costs like billions of dollars.

51:45Did it really? Yeah. Huh? Uh, I think this is it. How fast is this? Oh, yeah, this is it. 20, 28, 20 miles. Oh my god. Oh my god. After we get around the corner. This isn't just any tunnel. We can get 100 no problem, but we'll take it easy for you. We could go 100, but I'm not going to totally go. And to understand why we're speeding through it. Also, did you hear how we said it's going to speed up when we get to the turn? Yeah. That doesn't make any sense. That's not how cause you got to get through the turn. Oh, okay. And then you're straight away. Then speed up. Yeah. Look how crappy that looked. You know, it looked like shit. That looked like the track that you put the shopping cart up to go up the escalator at Costco. True. But anyway, pull the rest of this tweet. Let's read the rest of it. Uh, okay. And then we'll watch the video you sent me right afterwards and we'll wrap it up.

52:52So yeah, two trillion dollars wasted in the budget. We were going to pay no income taxes because tariffs would pay for everything. Gas and home electric bills would be cut in half and no new wars. Now, shockingly, none of that happened. Not so shockingly, I mean, none of that happened. Now again, to my original point, I really hope we don't go back to not caring about all that stuff just because Trump didn't do it. You know what I mean? Now, pull up the video that you also sent me. Yeah, let's let's watch this. Universal healthcare would be too expensive. Here is a missiles. That's a million dollars. By the way, the amount of pennies it costs to just move the thing is very funny to have on there too. Yeah. Yeah. Two. Oh, oh, that's a lot. That's five. Yeah, it was five million dollars. Oh, no. That's so much money. We're watching 74,000 dollars to shoot down a weather balloon.

53:57We're literally watching. We're watching munitions go off on naval ships and the cost of them. Yeah, it's really hard to hear over the CCR, but yeah, I mean, 1.25 million dollar torpedoes. Yes. It's I mean, 1.1 million per missile. Did you see that you see Israel's got to they actually do have a laser? Everybody's got a laser now. No, it's like a it's like a missile defense laser. Oh, so it's like instead of shooting missiles at like these drones and different bombs that are coming in. It's just like a rail gun laser that like, well, a rail gun wouldn't be a laser. Those are different things. Whatever. It's all right. Let me see if I can find it. But so we're watching all this stuff get blown up, but just how much did they blew up?

55:00The Iranians managed to blow up some rate. I think it was some radar systems that caused billions of dollars each. Yeah, it saw that with like and they're using these 35,000 dollar drones. Yeah, that are one and done shot. They're like one shot kamikaze drones that are super cheap. They'd look at this laser. Wait, where's that laser from the ground traveling up to just hit the drones that are coming in. Takes out one drone, two drone. That's just laser. Yeah, but you know what I'd like to know are these those cheap drones and how much does that every time that laser fire costs? So they are cheap drones and the laser is so they were doing the math and it was like it was it cost $3 per shot of the laser. And now does it even like really

56:01quickly look like a nipple on the drone before it blows up? Let's see. Oh, pretty. So it's like, yeah, it's 35,000 dollar drones. They were using like 1.1 million dollar missiles to shoot them down. Right. And like multiple of them. So like I ran strategy. How much is the laser costing? $3. All right. You know what I mean? Fair. So it's like a thing where it was like the math of the war at first was like, okay, we can just keep sending these shitty 35,000 dollar drones all around and like, you know, fucking really causing some damage. But more importantly, let's make them spend 1.1 million dollars every shot they want to take it on. They miss. That's $2 million, right? Like do the math. They missed the drone hits. What? They missed the drone hits,

57:06the target. Right. I mean, you know, at least so that's what it is. It is what it is. So it's like, you do the math on it. So hold on, wait a second. They didn't just make this laser now. They had the laser. I don't know. It says activates iron beam system. I'm just saying there's no, so Google iron beam system. And when it would, when was the iron beam system invented? Because they didn't just have it. Why they waste all those millions of dollars in the first place. So it might just be that they only have it set up for that one area. That seems dumb. It seems like you probably need a couple of those. It was unveiled that the Singapore air show in February 2014. It's designed to destroy short range rockets artillery and mortar bombs. It was scheduled to be deployed in October 2025. It was actually deployed December 25. It has a range of 10 kilometers, 10 kilometers, complementing the iron dome system, which was designed to intercept this. That's if Canada, that's if a country with the metric system gets AI first, kilometers are coming for us. Oh, no. Oh, no, not the kilometers.

58:11Yeah. So it's been around since December of last year. Very new. But they only have one. Did they run out of the million dollar missiles? And then they started using it because that seems dumb. I don't know. I don't know. It might be around the entire iron dome. It's very difficult to just call your guy at massage and find out. I will call find out. Jesus, Mike. But it just seems like you should have been using that the whole time. Three dollars. Three dollars. It's almost like they something them down on the price of missile defense. Wonder what it could be. There's a term for good eye folks.

59:13Oh, don't ask why. Oh, don't ask why. If we don't find the next whiskey bar, I tell you we must I tell you. I tell you. I tell you. I tell you. We must die. Oh, moon, I want a moon, a moon. And now, must say goodbye, we're long. I'll fill, more and more. Oh miles down with the light A moon A light 境 La, say goodbye

1:00:13We lost Our building I lost I must have wished The ownerless Yeah Oh, show me the way to the next little girl. Oh, don't ask why. Oh, don't ask why. Show me the way to the next little girl. Oh, don't ask why. Oh, don't ask why. For if we don't find the next little girl. I tell you we must done. I tell you we must done. I tell you I tell you I tell you we must done.

1:01:23Oh, we must sacrifice. We must save them all. I'll fill out my mind And finally must have wished you a hard your way
