Uh-huh. It's all s**t. It's all just dumb gay politics. America's gotten kinda white, but we're not gonna let it go down like that because we got a dumb gay podcast, a dumb gay political podcast. We probably don't have all the facts, but we got opinions and we'll probably backtrack. That's why it's a dumb gay podcast, a dumb gay political podcast. Oh, it's all s**t. It's all s**t. Oh, it's all s**t. It's all s**t. I mean, are we gonna die? I don't know. I you're extreme. I am extreme. It's all s**t. Uh-uh. This s**t is bananas. B a n a n a s. This s**t is Trump's s. T r u m p a n a n e s. What? I don't know. I don't even know. Hey, everybody. Welcome to our Dumb Gay podcast. I'm Julie. And I'm Brandy. And this is the podcast where we talk about all the dumb gay s**t happening in the world like we're talking about reality TV. Well, apparently, the reality show, this week is a drone competition show, my mom. So I don't know which drone is gonna win and which ones will have to pack their knives and go. Dancing with the drones? Yeah. Dancing with the drones. Dancing with the drones for the mirror ball. Okay? I, like, barely am following it. I'm like, if I'm I just have to assume if we're seeing drones going in and out of the ocean apparently and they're going all around the sky and doing everything that it's I mean The main first place was, I think, was New Jersey. Right. There was a bunch of sightings over Alabama. And then, you know, for me, I'm doing exactly what I do with, like, Amazon reviews or reviews on Sephora Yeah. Or even reviews on, like, Reddit. I assume half of them are fake. So these f**king pictures and videos, I assume, first of all, half of them are fake. Oh, that's true. I do know that Alejandro Mayorkas went on TV and said they're just airplanes, and it's like, girl. Okay. You're you're you're you're coming up a close second to, like, flops to Merrick Garland. And, I mean, I like I do like really like Alejandro Mayorkas, like, personally. Yep. He is our current Homeland security? Because who's our secretary of state? That's, Ale Alejandro. That was supposed to help us remember, and it did help us remember his name. Oh, yeah. Homeland security. Oh, I know. Anthony Blinken. Anthony Blinken. That's right. Anthony. Anthony. Right. Anthony Scalia. Okay. So people really don't like Alejandro Mayorkas. I know. They really don't like him. And it's because it's the immigrant. He got really thrown under the bus with the immigration. Yeah. Yeah. I'm like, you're already hated. Why are we going on f**king whatever news? And I only saw this in a clip because I don't watch any of that news and saying it's airplanes. Like and then, you know, Meghan McCain and her f**king bag of bulls**t Oh, no. Talking about. f**k our government for not telling us to check with the jobs. Oh, god. What do you need? If it was a Republican administration and somebody said f**k our government, you wouldn't like that. That's right. So Of course. Of course. And, also, they may be we can't no. I mean, I hate to say it, but, like, there are some things that we just they're not gonna tell us. No. They're just not going to oh, is this thing on? Hey. Welcome to press car. Hey, everybody. Russia is sending in spy drones, and they're working in conjuncture with China, and they're going over and taking all your data because they're worried that the nuclear bomb that they had in the submarine that they had sent over 57 years ago is actually leaking. So Right. They have to go to see if there's any radiation that's on leaking from there and maybe the alien that they put in a in a chamber that's 50 leagues under the journey beneath the sea. And, so so they're just looking for them, but don't worry about it. It's fine. What do you do? We can't be doing that. No. We're not doing Just be like, yeah. It's drones and it's none of your f**king business. How about that? I I would say that. How about from what we can tell right now, it's drones and we're not entirely sure who where they're coming from. So we need we're trying to figure it out, but we can tell you this. They said not if they want them to shoot them out of the sky. Oh, okay. Well then So the what you say is, that's classified. So everybody can sit the f**k down. And if you see it flying overhead, go on and go inside if you don't like it. Right. That's if it's classified, then tell us it's classified. Right. But it's gaslighting, and Alejandro Mayorkas didn't need any more f**king smoke. No. I'm really impressed that I managed to forget who the secretary of state is. I have been really not paying attention. Am I getting back to being my old self? Maybe. I know. I've definitely I just don't wanna pay attention. I just wanna sit and be mad Mhmm. And also know that they're gonna f**king what what are we supposed to do? I I don't even They're just, like, throwing a Hail Mary to do anything they can do to still try and talk s**t about the Biden administration. Yeah. All of the f**king maggots across. It's like, let it go. I actually don't care if there's drones. Anything going on, go blame Trump. You're not gonna get his last 2 weeks Right. And still blame Biden and Kamala Harris and f**king it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. All of it. Yeah. Just what do you want? I'm just like I'm like, what I you know, I don't I don't even wanna tune in until Trump is president. So that at least at that point, I go, alright. Let me enjoy the systematic takedown of the country Mhmm. So that everyone who voted for him loses their health insurance, their homes, their education Their vet yeah. Their Their veterans. Their benefits, And that they they just their lives get destroyed. And I'll just sit back and, I'll go ahead and buy the eggs that are $2 more a carton with a smile on my face.

It's called that they Ursa Major makes called Going Places. Oh. And, I like these thick lip things. Yeah. You push from the bottom. Oh. Let's see what you think. It's like Bethany Frankel. They had to start doing lip balms like that because everybody has their big, old, injected f**king housewife lips. Yeah. I mean, I noticed from watching Even the lady at the Viking post office today had Yes. Had, like I'm like, how are you? I just I don't even know. I don't I I don't know either. But it's funny that they're that you're right. I guess that is why because I noticed that lip like, the these things are, like, round bigger and thicker and That lip balms are getting bigger. Yeah. They're big. Like, round. Fat. These big a*s lips floating around everywhere. So thank you guys. Quinton and Ximena, we love you so much. Thank you. We got an email, my mom, from a guy named Rick Austin. Rawr. K? Now, apparently, Rick went went over to our website because Rick wanted to give us money, and he didn't see how he could give us money on the website. And he sent us an email, and I just wanna read it here. I want you to read it here because it really was funny and cute, and it was touching. Okay. Good morning from 15 miles outside of Washington, DC. I'm not well versed in how to send a congratulatory email. Is it okay to draw a chalk outline around a father, son, and husband who has spent the last 30 years living in a suit and tie, trying to serve his country and his employees and his shareholders with integrity, but never learning the contemporary means of social media or chat GPT or TikTok nonsense. I'm an old crusty curmudgeon by any measure. But we paid $200,000 for our 2 children to go to university, and one of them found their way to your podcast Oh, that's my favorite part. For me. They dropped it on my phone so I could ignore the wailing children on the flight from Orlando to Washington DC. My wife had to pee a lot, so we always buy her an aisle seat. But I flew solo, and for 2 hours and 20 minutes, it doesn't matter where the hell they put me. Although smelling diaper waft from the bathroom in aisle 36 is not ideal. Your show grinned me from ear to ear on that flight. I wanted to say thank you. I looked on your website for some kind of pay button or way to compensate you for the laughter you've already given me. I failed. I see the Patreon apparatus and will have someone navigate the system presently. I don't understand any of the references within your biographies or collective works, but I understand perspective and laughter and the consideration of any topic beyond the words on a bumper sticker. This has evolved into a ramble. Sorry. Who cares about anything other than the cold hard fact that you make me laugh? That is refreshing. So I wanted to compensate you for it and say thanks again, celebrate your freedom, and blast it in all directions. It is what we fought and died for. Best in health and freedom, Rick. Rick sounds like he's a veteran. Rick sounds like he's a veteran or. Or is he still working for this? No. Because at the so there's so much to unpack here. We're obsessed with Rick. Oh my gosh. He has shareholders. Yes. He's giving CEO he it's CEO coded to me. And the words of freedom and fought and the country fought for this country. And that's like and he's not f**king MAGA. Like, Rick, it's too bad you're married. Rick. Rick. You could have 2 new wives. Rick, will you oh, Rick. Rick, pick me up, Rick. Oh, Rick. I mean, I guarantee you every, like, straight woman listening to this podcast, if Rick wasn't married, would be like, I love a rich curmudgeon, honey. I'll do all your social media for you. Oh, I know what you I'm laughing, but I don't know any of the ref I mean He said he made a grim ear to ear. He sounds rich. Yeah. He has shareholders. I mean, maybe he's in Potomac. He gave his kids seriously, he he Or Arlie didn't reach him. Paid $200,000 for his kids to go to college, and then one of them, a college educated a $100,000 college educated child likes our podcast, it always just shocks me. That isn't him raising. And then when when their dad had to fly for 2 hours without his wife with a child, we don't know. They put it on Rick's phone Uh-huh. Our podcast. And I'm just like, somebody give that person a f**king, like, medal of freedom for that. It's like, this is what made me think about, like and I'm like, Rick, please do have someone navigate the Patreon apparatus. We just went through how you can give us money. I don't know that Rick would like the Patreon as much because I think he likes the political content. Well, Rick, I gotta tell you. In my running list of men that are allowed to live Right. Okay. It's now Craig. Now we've got Craig. Hold on. Craig. Hold on. It's a it's a it's a okay. Let me write this down. It's okay. Hold on. Okay. We've got Craig. Uh-huh. Okay. And And Rick.

Last but not least, ma'am, I know we're out of time, but the mystery of Kathy Martin. Okay? We got an email again into Julie Brandy podcast that said your your order from Claremont Lounge is being delivered. And I was like, we don't have an order from Clairemont Lounge. It showed up. It says Kathy Martin, and we don't know Kathy Martin. And we stayed at the Clairemont Lounge in Atlanta. It is absolutely our favorite f**king hotel in the world. There's a strip club in the basement. Julie and I, like, I ordered a whiskey me and or Jack Jack. Uh-huh. And when I tell you they gave me a plastic cup filled to the top of Jack Daniels, and I was like, oh, we're f**ked. And it was so f**king fun. Yeah. Like, we had the best time. Best time. I mean, Atlanta is like heaven on earth, and it is a strip club capital, but the Claremont lounge Lounge takes the cake. And now we have a hat, a shirt, and a sticker. Oh, I want a sticker. Yeah. Don't lose that, my mom. Now that's going right So, Kathy, I don't know if this is from you whose name is on the box. I don't know if it's from someone else, but we are living, laughing, and loving.

And it's we we stayed in bunk beds. This is a story that we told on the Patreon. There's bunk beds. Yeah. The room was so inexpensive. And when I got up to the top bunk to my bunk, there was a f**king power drill Yes. And that I put into my luggage and stole. Yes. And I also remember when we checked in to the Clermont Lounge, there was a candle sitting there. Number 1, the smell of it, there's, like, there was candles that you could buy. And the smell of it reminded me of the Gwyneth Paltrow vagina candle. And I remember telling the lady, you should have named this vagina candle as this is the Clairemont. There's a strip club here. Right. You know? That's also when I fell asleep in all my clothes, I think. Right? That's correct. And I forgot my f**king toiletry bag. Right. And we had to go We had to go Yes. Walk at night and go just, like, buy, like, a shower cap and s**t. Like, it was beyond. Anyway, we did a live show in Atlanta. We were on Mary De Medicine, and it was heaven.

So whoever sent us this, and if it's you, Kathy, you broke the rule. No gifts without pics. We need your picture for the drug done bulletin board, so get it in here, Kathy. Oh. And you too, Rick. Get it in here, Rick. This episode is brought to you by Squarespace. Squarespace websites are the f**king business. Okay? I know we've been talking about it every other week for a month now, but we're gonna continue talking about it because we love it. Squarespace, if you don't know, is the all in one website platform for entrepreneurs to stand out and succeed online. Whether you're just starting out or managing a growing brand, Squarespace makes it easy to create a beautiful website, engage with your audience, and sell anything from products to content to time all in one place all on your terms. Squarespace is the best. To me, it's the simplest to do if you've, Timmy, if you've ever, Timmy, if you've never made a f**king website, then you don't understand that they're all f**king hard. And Hard. Like, we had our website done by some disgruntled fan who hates us now. And now we are in charge of it, and it's so hard and it's so complicated. And I would do anything for it to be on Squarespace. We are friends. We saw our friend's website. And then just recently, I was, like, trying to find out this outfit that Bronwyn wore on Salt Lake City. Okay? Uh-huh. And it has been haunting me, and I can't f**king figure out. And Bronwyn herself has a website. And I went on to her website, and I f**king emailed her and was let through the website a message. And I was like, Bronwyn, I've got to know. Like, of course, she's never gonna get back to me. And Bronwyn was trying to make a name for herself, you guys. This isn't a website about her whatever f**king finance job she had. No. This is those pictures of Bronwyn and her clothes at f**king Paris Fashion Week and New York Fashion Week. Bronwyn knew she wanted to get on Housewives. Yeah. And she made a website because that is what you need to do if you're in this world doing things. Yeah. It's so simple. It's inexpensive. Squarespace makes it so that anyone can do it. They have design tools where you'll have your own completely bespoke website that is unique to you. And then with their AI like design tools, like, it makes it so much easier to just do it and do it quickly. You're not, like, writing code and being timid. Can't do it. Can't do it. And so that's just right there for somebody just to have a profile. But with with Squarespace, if you wanna start a little business, like, they have all these ways, easy ways to, like, connect and accept payments. You could do, like, Apple Pay, Afterpay, Direct Debit, Clearpay, which is in the UK because this accounts for the UK too, guys. Yay. So you're setting up payments so you can get paid for whatever you're selling, and then they also make it so that you can sell content. So, like, for example, when Patreon goes down, we will be getting our our Squarespace together, and we will be putting our content behind the paywall. Like, what Louis CK did when he used to sell his comic strips. He didn't go through somebody like that where they took a fee Right. Where he pays them. No. He hosts it himself Right. And he takes the money himself for the comedy websites. Right. There's so much you can do with Squarespace, and I just think in 2024, like, you think it's all on social media, but I'm telling you, it's all about having a website. I really do think it. I agree. Because you know what? There's also a thing too where where there's a lot of catfishing going on. There's a lot of catfishing going on and people saying there are people that are not. You know what I mean? All over the Internet. And it's like, let's do a website. And that way, when you, you know, you would appreciate if you're going on some f**king date and somebody had a website. You go, let me check the website. That's true. So you Google someone, and then there's the website. Yeah. That's I love it. I love that you have a website just just to just as a So you to know you're real. Yeah. It's a real person. Yeah. I love that. I love that. I love that. You know what?

I'm a keep talking s**t till that day I die, b***h. Matter of fact, I'm a record something. So when I'm dead and I'm in a casket, I'm a be on a f**king radio talking s**t like, yeah, at my funeral. Let me tell you about these motherf**kers. Alright. This is our segment called Talking s**t, where we hang out with comedians and talk s**t about all the dumb gay stuff going on in the world. Why? Because talking s**t is fun, comedians are funny, and 2 weeks from today is the last day of Karma 24. So crazy. And the a*****es in this country, and I include us in that, must have had some bad karma coming, Maumau, because we all got paid in full on election day. Okay? Which is why we are so excited for our guest today. He's a performer, writer, stand up comedian, actor, and one of our most popular guests on this podcast. He hasn't even been on in over a year, which is Insane. That's how crazy 2024 has been. He's been supporting us in doing our show for free since the week Trump was inaugurated way back in January 2017. So without further f**king ado, please welcome back the Stevie Nicks of our hearts and the Chardonnay of our souls, our good friend, Brad Chardonnay Locally. Hey, Brad. Hey, girls. Hello, Mary. Hey, girl. Hey, girlfriend. Hey, girlfriends. Mammal associate guy. What a wonderful human. I love just a good human. Just a good lactating human. Oh, no. Those days are over. Yeah. Those days are over. Yeah. No more lactate. Okay. So, Brad, have you been on the podcast yet this year? I don't think I have. Oh my god. We went a crazy 2024. Wow. The world just tore us all apart. Maybe that's why Trump won. Yeah. I think, you know, because when our forces are together yeah. Maybe It's just like Elphaba and It's our fault. It's glibber. Maybe 2 white women and the white cis Hendrick who become a sexual man. I am gonna get sentimental because the first, like, what right when Trump was elected the first time, his inauguration, we went on that we went on a trip and the Muslim ban happened and we were all together. Yeah. We hid that one guest for a while so we can make sure there were lawyers on board. And it's like, and now See, see, we've done this before, everybody. We're in reruns. Well, what's syndication. What's gonna happen? Well, what's gonna happen is, you know, as an expert as an expert, gay person who definitely didn't just do, 2 shots of gay people before this impromptu podcast Mhmm. Podcast, after seeing the movie quickest Yep. With the 2 And we're definitely not parked on the side. We're definitely not parked on the side of the road in perfect place to a gay bar. No. What I would say is I was definitely shocked by the election. I thought it was going to be a close election, but I certainly thought, was gonna win. I certainly didn't think we would lose all seats of power and all balance of power. And so what here's the thing. For the next 2 years, anyone who thinks, and believes the way, all of us do in this in this car, and many who listen to this podcast, we're in essence an opposition party now. We don't really have any federal authority. Uh-huh. And I think everyone should focus on their states, and I think everyone should focus on communities, and I think everyone we should focus on each other. We have to protect women state by state. We have to protect trans people and all LGBTQ people. We have to protect the poor because they are going to be f**ked. They're the ones who are going to hurt the most. But wait. I thought they were gonna, like, get jobs and take their health insurance. Strawberries are gonna be cheap, guys, except they're not because no one's gonna pick up because we're gonna maybe deport 1,500,000 people. And Canada's probably cutting off power to millions of homes. But what I would say is don't focus national. I know national tensions get a lot of get us all jazzed up, and that's kind of what democracy does. And certainly a lot of harm can be done and probably will be done. But at the end of the day, you live and die for most of your life within a 100 miles of where you live. You live and die in a community. You live and die in a hometown, a city. You live and die with your family of choice or your blood family or a mixture of both. And I think if we all pull together and we all actually just start taking care of the person to the left and right of us, more and ourselves more, that goes outwards because we're not gonna fix any of this a 100%, at least until a midterm election when we can maybe swing back some checks and balances. It's gonna be what it's gonna be for the next 2 years, and we don't know what it's gonna be. There's a lot of red herrings. He and his people are really good at throwing a red herring to distract you from one thing, to get everyone so worked up. What I don't want is people literally having stress heart attacks Mhmm. Over every single thing on the news. Turn the news off and go do something Not this. Sell because this is a news. This is not news. This is not infuntainment Yeah. Or whatever they call whatever the kids call it. Exactly. This is but, you know, turn off television news, stop reading the you can't do anything about that. You are not a secretary of state. You are not a joint chief of staff. You know, get out of the house. Go out in your community. Go out in your family. Go out in your friends. Help each other. Helps help your neighbors. You know what I mean? And I would argue too that the news is also kind of what got us into this. Absolutely. When you see something on social media, we were just talking before we started recording. I've just and it's not like I have a ton of money, but, like, I've seen a lot of people doing very simple basic fundraisers because they're like, I need to get out of a a red state. And I have a job offer, and I have an apartment lined up, but I need, you know, $5 or $10 to make that move, so I'm doing a GoFundMe. If everyone who can give $5 or a dollar gives to one of those, you're we're gonna get 100 of thousands of people who need to get to safer places with with more protections there. That's how you do it. And that that's actually also an argument for if you're gonna give money, let's say, some you you give money to the DNC or to a big huge whatever. The f**k that. Give that. f**k that. Don't be doing that. Now is not the time for that. The people who need it, who need to move, who need to get jobs, who need it. So it's Especially before election. We're talking about people who are trying to get out of red states before Yeah. Before inauguration day. Sorry. Before inauguration day. These are people who are trying to get out before laws start taking a a fact that will impact them directly. Now the so the night of the election, of course, we were became blackout drunk. What right, you know, as as as it turned. And then I was texting with, you know, friends and just like f**k it. Like he was president before. Nothing consequential happened really except for like he changed the tax laws and helped all the corporations. Yeah. And the super So I'm like f**king we can do this for another 4 years. We can do it. We can do it. And then all the people texting me were like, no. He's gonna change the law so that he's they there's no term limits. What do you think is the term limit? Is presidents don't change laws. The real danger here is that the the the Republican Party has control of all branches of government right now. They, in essence, control the Supreme Court. They control the White House. They control both branches of Congress. It the it's, I mean, it's And together, they all change laws. Right. Right. Right. So and that's how things and that's the problem. That's the real problem is that. And and listen. You know, the the the other side of the eye would be terrified if if all progressive liberals had sudden control of all the government. And that's also what we've built a system. I know we could fix so much so quickly. But it's also why we built a system where usually the public does kind of maintain a check of balance. But you know, usually the public says, we'll keep the house democratic. We'll keep, you know, and then the president's Republican. Usually, a president is is in in conflict, in the health of the constitution. Check. Yeah. It's a checks and balances system. Yeah. We have no more checks and balances, and the full guardrails of constitutional law will now be challenged for at least the next 2 years. So, again, for the next 2 years, other than full civil war, which I don't think we'll get to because we're all just too we're too old and we're too fat. We can't be civil warring anymore. Ugh. It's too old. The same. Julie and I want a war. I do I do have blood bus. Go play war games. I do a blood bus. I would say for the next 2 years, you do that work in your communities. You help people in the most dangerous areas individually as best you can. You get where you get f**king, birth control to women in red states. You know what I mean? You just Yeah. Be to women in red states. One one national charity I still give to is the National Abortion Fund because they really do distribute grassroots across the most at need areas. You know, and it's not like we're gonna be able to move every single woman who wants to move out of a red state to again like, it's just, you know, women are just a massive physical population. But I would say for the next 2 years, focus on the communities at risk, focus on the people you care about the most and the causes you care about the most. What are you scared of? Like Am I scared of that I will? Do you think that anything of consequence is gonna happen or they're just gonna f**king sit on their a*s like they always do and be like, it's the immigrants. It's the Democrats. So the one thing we have in our favor is the fact that he only wants what's good for him. The problem is you now have a full congress and supreme court who want what the GOP wants. So you have Mitch McConnell already talking about some ridiculous tens of 1,000,000,000 of dollars increase to the military budgets. And you know what I mean? The the the advantage to any narcissist if you know how to work with them is that they just care what's good for them. So if you can appease them with what's good for them, they won't do too much damage. They're a bull in a China shop. Shop. The problem is, in my opinion, as the opposition, the GOP in its entirety Is a narcissist? No. No. No. It's wants to do institutional structural harm. They want Yep. An authoritarian state that they can maintain permanently. I don't think he really does. I don't think he really cares. But they are all funded by the religious. Right? Old man with dementia Right. Who is now being funded by people like Elon Musk and were and worshiped by corporate giants, and those people have agendas that are institutionally dangerous to unions, to the minimum wage, to health care, to health safety, to physical safety, to property values, to global economic skills. So but, again, for 2 years, we can't do much about that. Do you think in the 2 years that She didn't even have a shot. I do you think in the 2 years, Brad? I'm leaving God for a while. Do you think I don't know. I don't know. I'm I I'm obsessed with the, like, the fact that the environment, that the atmosphere, that the toxic, rape that basically rape culture is now running the the country. Absolutely. And what how do we is there a way or is it futile to try and change, you know, the whatever, 70,000,000, 80,000,000 people who are into this currently? Or is it gonna take my hope anyway, and I just don't know if I can even believe that this would be true, that they're all gonna get so f**ked so hard. They're the eggs aren't gonna be cheap. No. Correct. These are peep these are people who who who chose the, the concept. No plan. The man presented no plan. The concept that eggs would be $2 cheaper in exchange for all other people's human and civilized. Yes. And I don't say this maliciously. It's not it's not coastal elitist who will be harmed if eggs go back up to $10 a dozen. Right. It's not us who's gonna it's you who's gonna be heard. And sometimes you have to let a child burn their hand on the stove Mhmm. Because after you've told them 300 times, don't touch the hot pot Right. Don't touch the hot pot, and you've put child safety devices Yes. On the stove. You've done everything you can as a logical person Yes. To keep another human being from a logical person Yes. To keep another human being from harm. Yes. If that person needs to burn their hand on the stove to understand what hot is Mhmm. Then they do. And then when they burn their hand, you treat their hand. Yes. You say, I know that hurt. I told you. Right. But then you also take care of them. But won't they say the immigrants did it? Right. Well, no. Because we won't have them anymore. We won't have them anymore. Because my fear is that they wanna f**king talk about the price of eggs, and then he does the tariffs, which she's been jerking off of them. Proud of his Canada has already said. We're we will cut off your power on his inauguration date. If he is instating these tariffs, the Canada supplies 1,500,000 households worth of electricity to the US. Remember, America is households worth of electricity to the US. Remember, America imports a lot. Everything. A lot. Now if Canada who is, I believe, still to this day the only nation that was ever founded without war or conflict. It was actual if someone can Google me on this, but they have a history of politeness. That tracks. Right. So it doesn't say that if Canada has said, we will freeze out Wisconsin, New York Right. Michigan in January. We will cut off your f**king power if we get a a 50% tariff on us. Period. Period. And he is and he literally said, he goes, it I it pains me to say this. I have no desire to be this trade war. But if your president's gonna do it, we're not doing it in 10% increments. We're doing it in the faucet is turned off. That to me is touch the stove then. Touch the stove. Well, that burn your hand. I understand. True. So I understand. Is feeling that way. Honey, Mexico. Yeah. Mexico's gonna spit in our mouth and not go by 1. They'll never admit that the price of eggs didn't go down. No. No. No. And listen. There are zealous. There are people who believe that Trump is Jesus Christ. Yeah. You cannot argue with those people, but I do not believe that's 60,000,000 people. I think as usual, the democrats were very bad. The first of all, Joe should not have been running up until 90 seconds before the election. It It shouldn't have taken the whole democratic party spending months saying you cannot run someone who has cognitive issues, who is 300 years old if we're the party of logic inside. But okay. But but just to let's, to play devil's advocate, though. Their party is a crazy person too, but they're evil. But but here's what but here's what here's what I would say, though, to that. Joe Biden was a president. We're in a terrible situation. They have Trump going on. They keep pounding about how Biden is. Wait. And that all of that and all of that. Listen. We we love Joe Biden, and but we also will acknowledge Yeah. The motherf**ker, we couldn't even watch a speech. It was too painful. However, why wasn't there the argument though? Because we were so deep in it, so deep in the s**t with him. We have why wasn't there a thing of, like, we're gonna we have a great party. Kamala Harris is there. The power structure is there. The right people are there. That's what the party was saying. We're very bad at getting the f**king message out. The message was terrible. We're very bad at getting the message out. The other thing is they hid Kamala Harris for 3 and a half years. That's right. That yes. He did. He was elected and said I am a transitional president. Yep. And that's why, that's why a lot of young people, middle aged people, a lot of people said, okay. Great. If we could get Joe over the finish line, he's admitting strategic. Yes. He's admitting that you're trying to be a one term president Yes. Just to keep it away from that f**king monster. Right. And then we did it, and then he got in there, and his old man dick got hard again. Yeah. And I love him because nobody gets in that office and wants to leave. Right. Clearly. No. Because no one gets in that office unless they're willing to do with the million horrible things. Yeah. And he just doesn't wanna leave politics Sure. At his time. You know? He doesn't wanna admit it's over. Listen. That whole generation grew up where the most popular poem that all those white men read was do not go gentle into that good night. I could go back in a time machine and kill the f**king author of do not go gentle into that good night because it has made every boomer white man Right. Decide and silent generation white man decide that That's a good plot to a movie. Forever. Because I'm telling you right now, when someone wins the lottery with the numbers, I go like this, oh my god, we found the time traveler. That person has a f**king time. So there you f**king are. Or the, you know, the the the The first thing they do is get out of here and they're like, I'm not f**king with the time. I am just leaving all of you. But we can do the movie where Brad, the only thing he wants to do is just f**k that book. That do you know, Kajet, every That poem. Powerful white person in America has lived by that power. Rage. Go towards the, like, Carol Anne. Go towards the f**king lies. We did so the democratic party s**t on their own selves, though. They're so divided. Love to fall on our own story. We love to fall on our own. We we fire martyrs. That too. We have donut. We have to own the fact that I don't understand I could never vote in a post Roe v Wade world for any candidate that was not staunchly in support of protecting women's autonomy to their bodies. The fact that there were that many women who were like, but eggs. And that's your eggs? But even exactly. That's right. But even in our own party, like Your daughter's eggs, your sister's eggs, your neighbor's eggs. All all the eggs. All the eggs. All the eggs. All the eggs. But even in our own party You know what I mean? I just don't understand that. Well, I don't I agree, and I also lesser of 2. I don't wanna choose between the lesser of 2 people. Lesser of 2. I'm like, what? That's all life is. But also That's right. But also, maybe that's all life is. But also, between a rapist and somebody who is slightly has dementia got a lot of space in between them. There's not much of it. Not a 1% difference. This is not a 1% difference. And plus, we had Kamala Harris who also This is a one for people who are like, well, I decided I've was gonna vote for Trump because I'm concerned about Palestine or Israel. I'm like, well, great. Just so you know, neither one of those conversations is gonna go better with him in offense. No. In fact, they both say They're They're They're They're so you so it's like so you chose based on an idea where you literally made the choice that's gonna make both of them worse. And in in addition, I then for with Palestine and Israel, don't get get me started. For Hamas and Israel, if you will, I Oh, god. I do I the Democrats made that f**king even worse. Of course. They made that worse. Of course we do. Harris and Joe Biden or the genocide party. Like, you f**ked you f**ked us over. Wanna see the genocide party. Well Here it is. Yeah. Here it is. Here it is. Here it is. You were worried about a genocide? Right. They literally want a genocide. Right. I can't. I don't. So kids, for 2 years, look to the left of you, look to the right of you, look in front of you, look behind you. Yep. These are the people in your life. These are the people in your world. Thank god we still have some social media. We have some kind of global news sense. You if you want if you wanna do something, if you wanna feel like you did something today because the news take you out of power, go online and donate directly to someone in need in in some situation caused by this sociopolitical s**tstorm, a direct person. Give to give to yeah. If you're supporting trans rights, if you're supporting women's reproductive rights, if you're supporting the poor, if you're supporting people are online crowdfunding to pay their medical bills, to save their lives, to build a garden in their community, to rebuild. You know what I mean? When their state government doesn't, that it will do more. I wanna know where that it will do more. I wanna know where are you gonna where are you getting informed? Oh, I'm trying to be as uninformed as well. Well, you know the thing about Canada, and we didn't even know that. I do. Oh, of course. Looking at the news. Once a morning, I go on and I set a timer on my phone for 15 minutes, and I'm allowed 15 minutes to look at what's going on anywhere in the f**king world. Anywhere on the Internet. Anywhere on the f**king in no. Anywhere in the world. But where you go? So 50. Go to I start if, for America, I really don't trust either of them emphatically, but I look at, AP Okay. And I look at Reuters. But more importantly, what I do is I read American news from outside sources. So I'll read the BBC or Al Jazeera or Irish news. Oh, I love Irish news. Australian news they're putting out. I look at countries who have a vested interest in American government and strong sociopolitical and trade ties, and I see how they're reporting the same information. So you only read and you I only read. I do not watch news. And do you doom scroll? No. No. I doom scroll videos of, like, black titties and gays and shirtless guys that get sassy online. My Instagram is just torsos and strong black women. Just hairy f**k torsos and strong black women. I I already have 3 titles so far in my phone, but let me put that one in there. What was it again? Hairy torsos? Okay. And strong black women. Okay. Brad Lockley's how to scroll the internet like Brad Lockley. I mean, I don't know. My other 2 are the man presented no plan with Brad Lockley, or also life is life is a lesser of 2 evils with Brad locally. What should what should we do? Life is the lesser of 2 evils. I love that saying. Life is the lesser of 2 evils, period. That's every decision you're ever gonna make in your life. But do we do hairy torsos and strong black women with Brad? Okay. Yeah. Do they entice them? It's just it's just it's cook it's more it's clickbait. Yeah. It really is. It really is. It's a clickbait. It really is. For those of you who haven't learned my lesson yet to go to BBC. Yeah. We found you we found, Brad locally fixes miracles. Brad locally makes everyone trans. I mean, that was a good advice about about reading and, you know, Julie and I are still currently Read it. Just look at facts, then stop for a minute to decide you can't do anything about that, but then say, okay. I don't like what's going on there. Is there something I can do? Because if you look at it and go, oh, this thing just happened in Florida, you can donate to get books to kids in states that are banned books. You can buy books for you know what I mean? There are young, poor kids out there who have Amazon wish lists full of books. Go buy a kid an $8 book. I wanna know have you manifested like that giving that kid an $8 book is gonna do a lot Yeah. By giving the DNC a f**king penny. Right? Have you manifested any of this, like, physically, like you said, like, you don't want people having stress heart attacks. Have you did you when it was what happened right when you when it was, like, the next day? Were you, like, blackout? The election, I watched all my favorite movies in my room with the door locked. Eventually, I heard, Eric, my roommate, crying in the kitchen. He's a he's a grown man like myself, so I knew things had not gone well. And then I went out there and he was crying and then, you know, and then I had turned the do not disturb on my phone off and saw the text and everything. Again, America, not to sound jaded, America has never ceased to disappoint me, so this can no longer be a surprise to me. That's but the other thing I would say to people is stop pretending that this isn't America. Stop pretending that every time something bad happens in America, it's an anomaly. Because that's the America marketing That's right. And all parties are responsible for that. That is a unilateral problem of brainwashing that we have had since the beginning of this country That's right. That both parties rely on. This is not an anomaly. The truth is really great intellectual leaders are the anomalies. You I think I can put stop pretending this isn't America. The title says this FDAs. FTR's and JFK's And FTMs Barack Obama. And and WTF. Not even running for president is the anomaly in America. Absolutely. That is the unusual thing. The normal thing is career politicians with corporate agendas Do you feel get elected to office. I've 100%. We've been we're completely all times. Completely agreed. Do you feel I at all different? Like, I know we're and we, you know, we weren't that I was I was I have to say, I generally feel like that too. Like, I'm I'm never surprised. I always expect I'm always disappointed by my makeup. But I was the Democratic party that I've ever been to. And has it And not because of an issue, but because you couldn't get this brilliant woman across the finish line who busted her a*s. And, again, because you lost a year and a half before she was even put in the race. And so then she now gets to spend all of her time having people analyze what she did wrong to not get her there. She was supposed to be running for f**king president after his first 100 days. That's right. That was the f**king deal. Yep. That was the ticket. Away. You made us a party with your voters. Right. So you broke that promise to her. Yep. And if you weren't gonna run her, then somebody else. You know what I mean? I will say that that November of 2021, we did a live podcast. And one of the subjects of it so that was the year that they Joe Biden that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were in. They were inaugurate in 2021 January. By November, she was already missing. Yeah. And Julie's like, she's behind the scenes. Yeah. And we're like, preparing for the presidency. Googled it all. They sent her to South America for what had it worked out, been the largest international trade and immigration solution that the world had seen since, like, NATO. Yes. You know what I mean? And and s**t doesn't always work out. Right. And they wanted that to be, like, a crowning jewel of her and show that she was an international. But the minute that didn't work, that's like a year in, a year and a half in. That's when you should have realized you can't look for grand gestures to give her. You gotta get her boots on the ground. She should have been the one campaigning on behalf of the DNC in the Rust Belt for two and a half years. That's true. That's true. She's got the stamina. Yep. She's got the energy. Yeah. She knows how to talk to us. Stacy Abrams is more out there. Yeah. Yeah. If they had Stacy Abrams here Yeah. We she woulda like, we probably could have swamped. I literally was so I was so, I had belief, I guess. I had Hope. I had I had I know it's so unfamiliar. It is unfamiliar, but I did have because of her Hope betrays you. Yeah. Hope is all you have left No s**t. Nothing else. When you When you are Hope is the last There's another title. But, no, in Pandora's box, the term hope comes from in the in Greek mythology, in Greco Roman mythology. When Pandora's box is opened and all of the terrors of the universe are unleashed on the world, The only thing left at the bottom of the box is hope. Right. And that's what I What a larker. After Pandora. A f**king thirst. Lark. Why are you still in the box? Why don't you go f**king do something, dumb b***h? Get out there, you stupid b***h. You dumb slut. What are you doing? Get the f**k out of the box. You go f**k it. Don't people feel something. It's even less sweet. That's right. Grace was first out of the box. She pranced out right now. And you still betrayed us, you f**king lark a*s. Oh, I was I I believed, you know, because I I don't even know I believed it. But because I loved her so much and him and the fact that they're there. I was like, I knew that the vice president's not really seen. They go and they do the thing and they're Exactly. But then but you're what you're saying is absolutely right. And the Democratic party betrayer The Democratic party plays checkers once every 2 to 4 years for 3 months while the other party is playing chess every single day Every day. Relentlessly 365. Yeah. Even when they lose, they find a way to go. We were so late to the party on the judges. So late to the party. Oh, suddenly, we wake up during f**king traffic, like, oh, god. Just good enough. And then like People will when the f**k has that ever been the case? And you vote Steve. They've confirmed over a 150,000,000 judges since Obama. Wow. Who knew? And then we're, like, nobody, if we just tell people that's not a nice thing to do, people will vote for us because they want fair and justice. You know, people wanna win. People want cheap gas and cheap bags, and they wanna win. Yeah. And also, how about within your own party have some loyalty and be like, you know what? Kamala Harris is f**king awesome. Party. They're all f**king species. You're Right. Against That's right. Going to kill 100. I mean But you're talking about the left. That's what I'm saying. We're in by the time we get to midterm elections, we're gonna have, f**king, iron lungs back. Yeah. For sure. Because we're gonna roll back the f**king polio vaccine. And all the regulations. We can't wait for people in red states to realize that polio is not made up by trans liberals, and we stick them into your mouth and get no bread. When your f**king kid is in an iron lung, I will say, I think that iron lung should be provided free because I believe in universal health care. I am horrified this happened to your family. Unfortunately, you have f**ked around and found out. So what can we do to help you now if you put us back in office? Well, I'm gonna I mean, I mean, I have to say, you've kept your humanity. Yeah. You're I I because people don't feel that giving they take their lives away. But I don't feel that giving. I feel being I feel like I'm in a state of I'm in a state of being vindictive. It's a vindictive giving back. It's a vindictive Well, I need because the fact is there's gonna be a lot of poor kids who won't have access to the vaccine who aren't That's true. That's true. So iron lungs for all of them. That's true. And then you look and go see how fair we were. Okay. Everybody got the iron lung, including you. That's good. Piece of f**king s**t. Yeah. Hope. That's a good way to make it. We have to stamp on the side of the iron lung provided by the Democratic National Party. That's it. That's what it is. GOP stamps their name on missiles. Okay. That's right. Now that we should start stamping our name on medical equipment. Hospitals we find. Yes. Speaking of medical equipment Yeah. Should we get into the sexy claims adjuster? Hairy torsos. Hairy torsos abound. I thought I saw some hair on the chest a little sweetly. His name is Luigi Magnon. People were like, his eyebrows couldn't have grown in in 3 days between the photos. I'm like, you've never met an Italian girl. I have to shave between my eyebrows 4 times a day. I'm only a quarter Italian. I mean, what are your feelings and thoughts about Luigi? My feelings are on Terry Schiavo knows his feelings. Literally, Terry Schiavo is somewhere knowing Brad and how Brad feels about Luigi. A friend of mine is begging me not to commit a felony to get, in New York so that I don't go to jail next to him to protect. Oh, but listen. Once he's in there, you know you can write write him those letters. Oh, I know. I'm like, you think I don't have a JPay account? The peep the number of people I've known who've gone to state and federal prison? b***h, you think I don't have a JPay account and a JEmail account? I know who the f**k you're talking to, mister Garth. Will you accept a collect call? Because Luigi, Brad's like, I sure motherf**ker will. For Brad, don't think half the jail turn. That's who she won. Who's she into today? Who she into? And then it's somebody had called me. I don't know who it is, but his name is Brad. His name is Brad. Hello, Luigi. What do you want? Brad, I mean, not for nothing. You can throw the f**king outfit on. Oh, I'm gonna oh, well, I'll wear do you think I won't wear it? To do the thing I won't. You think I won't, and you think if I bail him out, I won't make him wear it? You do. Wear the the green, I wear the red? Every night. I'm gonna touch it. Touch it. Jump out of, like, a turtle shell. No. It's definitely hit not just hitting, like, your nether regions. It's also stimulating Oh, he's got game. He's got game. I just gotta tell you. And he's smart. And it's it's And I think he's versed. I think he's versed, though. Definitely versed. Well, what do you think of the actual thing? I mean, I always thought What I think is Like, what do you That's what I'm saying is I think it's not just that I think it's Brad's frontal lobe Yeah. That's really got a hard on for him. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I think you're just, like, loving his whole thing. I like any I like anybody who who who takes the Band Aid off of a a gushing wound. And this is health care in America is a gushing wound that kills tens of 1,000 and 100 of 1,000 of Americans a year who pay huge premiums and huge amounts of money. Health care, I think, is still the number one cause of bankruptcy in Americans. And we pay double what anyone in any other country pays for health care, and we get less than half of what they receive in actual care and benefits. Do do I think killing one president or CEO or doctor fixes anything? No. Do I think symbolic murder is a slippery slope? But I also think the fact of the matter is the health care industry has been knowingly and with capitalist malice, murdering millions of Americans for decades in the way they run health care for profit. And one thing I can tell you is if you take away any human being's reasons to live, if they have no other reason to live, if you take away their home, if you take away their food, if you take away their purpose in life, the ability to hold a job, if you take away their family, and then if you take away their health and they're facing death, you have made a warrior who will come for you. To quote I got chills. I got chills. I got, like, aroused. I think I might I might be aroused. I'm a pussy. My pussy has chills. My pussy has chills. I will say what Oh. I what my our gay ancestor, Gore Vidal, said to William h Buckley junior in the 1968 debate on TV. Okay. From from the I think it was the Democratic National Convention. Uh-huh. He said, I am telling you, you need to do better by the oppressed and the minority and the working class of America for your own good. Because if you do not let them have anything, they will come and take everything from you. Yeah. That's how the Russian revolution French revolution. How about that? And the problem is those revolutions were bloody not just for the people in power, but for the people at all levels. They left As all levels of billions of people stuck in the middle of that insanity. And it becomes a a sign of seeing red. Full faith. And then there's no And then you've gotta send a national guard, and now you've got to be fighting the national guard, and you've got it's a civil war. You have brother fighting brother, sister fighting sister, parent fighting child. Right. So the truth is everybody loses in that scenario. But what I would say to and UnitedHealthcare is one of the darkest medical companies in America by far. I will just just say that from my own research and and personal knowledge that, the the I don't think it's coincidental that this kid Luigi is alleged to have chosen someone from United as opposed to Blue Cross Blue Shield, as opposed to Aetna, as opposed to Kaiser, President and I take Or Humana. Yeah. Humana. Good one. It's Bill Jensen. Or Delta. Or Delta Dental. United. Right. Vision eye care. Or you know what I mean? Johnny vision plus. None of those. I but United has been up to a lot of stuff for a long time in in all facets of and not just in, how they treat patients or don't treat patients and how they affect our economy. And so I don't I also think he didn't choose unspecifically. This was not a crazy person who just walked up to someone walking into a wealthy corporate office building and shot at random. This was someone who believes that there is no justice being served to tens of millions of people who are sick and or dying, and something must be done. And so I though though I think it's a rash action that doesn't obviously automatically lead to policy changes and stuff, are we all just supposed to sit down and die? Right. They would prefer Right. Yeah. Yeah. Prefer it. But while they be They don't listen when we protest. They don't listen when we sue. They don't listen when we sit in. Right. They don't listen when we write our senators. And it's amazing that a Kyle Rittenhouse is elevated Oh, lord. To a to a hero. Because, again, our side will now have a huge intellectual debate. An intellectual Exactly. And autocracy take debate. An intellectual exactly. And autocracy take total control. Take total control. I would also say it to that point watch the water go above our noses where we can't breathe while we debate climate change. Look at the protesting so does not matter that even January 6th did matter. Even we didn't listen. They were sitting in the I saw a news article that said, is is Luigi Meleone's action the next occupy Wall Street? And my first thought first thought was, I hope not because occupy Wall Street Didn't matter. Right. They're all f**king top people now. A thing. And January 6th was so intense. All it caused was an encampment for 9 months where a lot of people got raped. And now they're Trump supporters. Right. But but January what I mean? Like, I was like, the idea that that's the American marketing is like, look at the Yeah. Because they wanna sell you fake uprisings. But even January 6th you a time share. My point is they they got all the way to the Capitol. They're hanging off. They have the news. Hang Mike Pence. f**king Jews, Jews, Jews. We are so f**king dumb that we don't even listen, and now try to get back. We should've paid attention. They were mad. But we didn't pay attention. We should've even show to a f**king gun fight with a knife. We show up with a cake. Exactly. We literally show up with a cake, and we're, like, did anyone bring a knife to cut the cake? Like, here's some indictments. So, Brad, tell tell the 14 listeners where they can find you. This was very productive and very good, and you guys can f**k you or you, Julie, can wait to have a shot. Brad and I did have 1. 37 do it. 37 minutes went no. I'm saying 37 minutes went by, and then we needed another one. But, Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I have a problem. Yes. I have a very clear problem. Julie's like, I haven't had one today. Is there any question on that? Just to be clear to your 14 listeners, I have problems. But if you wanna follow any problems, the great part is I don't really post political material. I only talk about it with people like you, who I think are fun to talk to and, actually listen to each other, and we all listen to each other. So if you come to my social media feeds, all you'll see is me wrapped up in a winter bike and saying dumb gay s**t. That is dick jokes.

So the matzo project, this is what's up, you guys. I just have to tell you. We're gonna go on this little journey together. So, basically, Mamau grew up in a home, and they are Jewish, and they eat matzo ball soup. Yes. And I had never had it. And we met, you know, a 1000000 years ago, and you had never made it. And through our glorious, beautiful, wonderful friendship Mhmm. You discovered that you have a you're a Cancer. You love to nest, and you love to cook, and you learn to cook many things, but I feel like one of the first and you lived in a place with a hot plate behind 2 gay guys. And that was really where you, like, cut your teeth cooking, which is really so cute because it's like, you know, almost like you were in the military or something. I don't know. Basically, one of the first things that you really learned to cook well was matzo ball soup. And since it was it was the first time I ever had it, so it's like, you know, for all of you, like, anytime you have the soup that your mom makes you or your mom's Thanksgiving. For me, my mom's matzahmal soup is Julie's because that was the only kind I ever had. So I'm very, very, very, very powerful to it, and I love it. And I have it when we go to Sherman's Deli in Palm Springs. And I'm always just like, well, it's not my mom's house. And, you know, and it just isn't. So Julie's friend, one of Julie's, like, best friends from college and, like, you know, basically, at this point, lifelong friends I mean sent this box of this thing called the matzo project, and it's basically a a sort of, like, soup kit to make matzo ball soup and then and then the ball kit to make the balls because makes the balls. And, I mean, whether you use a kit or not, you have to f**king do that s**t with your hands, right, and put them and make them and And that's from usually from a box kit. Yeah. This is like her own. But either way, sometimes they're too dense and, you know, not too or I should just see it for myself. Right. Some people like them dense. Some people like them fluffy. Some people like them whatever. So Exactly. And Ma'am knows how to do it perfectly. And sometimes we've had some misses. And just because this Well, I'm not consistent. Well, because the certain kind wasn't available. Right. Because if if it's all sold out at the store, you don't know what f**king Jewish holiday is going on. I mean, these motherf**kers, they celebrate, and they do it. And you don't know if everybody just decided to do Shabbat dinner or whatever the f**k, and there's no you know, the thing isn't in the store. So, basically, her friend sends this having nothing to do with the podcast at all. And Julie got excited, and we were like, well, let's try it. And so Julie made the soup with the balls, and it was so amazing, and we were so impressed. Also, the packaging is so cute that we were just I was like, we wanna tell the we wanna tell our 14 listeners about it. But then the thing was, it was like, we wanna give you guys a discount, and also through the discount code is how Julie's friend will know how badass our 14 listeners are. Like, basically, we just wanted to track. Yeah. We wanted to see who bought some of the s**t. Yeah. Who want who I mean, who wants to try it? Yeah. And the thing is that whether you're Jewish or not, you grew up with matzo ball soup or okay. So the thing is that they don't just do matzo ball soup. They do matzo, like, full matzo, and then they made these things called matzo chips, which are like regular it look it looks like a bag of chips. So you have you can have a bag of chips, but they're like matzo chips. And there's everything, and then there's cinnamon sugar. So we haven't even delved into the cinnamon sugar of it all. I haven't even had a chance to try the regular matzah. We had the everything crackers or the everything matzah chips. Those were great. Great. I ate, like, a whole bag of them, and they are matzah, so you can also have them with you can dip them with anything, like, literally anything. Because it's like a perfect it's the perfect crack. It's literally the perfect cheese, hummus, whatever, cottage cheese. I literally dipped it into the f**king, that yogurt butter that your mom introduced me to. I can't remember what it is. I'm like, I love it. I have now I have 2 things of it and the 2 tubs of it, Pam. Like, that's like butter, but it's like yogurt, so it's like low cal and low fat. And just f**king dipped, and it was delish. Anyway, the matzo balls are superior. I have to tell you, if you ever make matzo ball soup, there's the the thing that, Crystal is her name. What she told me is that and this is the truth, and you can go into any supermarket and see this. When you go into the supermarket to get matzah or matzah balls or whatever Jewish s**t, it's always, like, tucked away in a corner, and it's barely anything's there, And it's always with the death candle, the yurzeit candle that I get. I get that right next to the matzah. Why is a death candle in the super so it's just this weird so these people were like, why can't funeral food. Yeah. And it's it's like it's bringing you, like, it's just, are we in it's like a weird Israel thing. It's like all this old rabbinical s**t. So, they were like, why can't it be fun and funny, and why can't Jewish food be, like, cool and whatever? So they that's why the branding is so good. Very good branding. Very good branding. Jewish grandma. Jewish grandma. The matzo balls were great. They were better than manashevets, better than stripes, and I f**king loved them. The soup was great.

It tells me only listeners to this show can rate it. Check out a few episodes, then come back and give your feedback.
