1:37

now, here it is. Terminally

1:39

Online. Jon Favreau. Remember

1:41

you two online this week. Okay,

1:44

so we all know RFK Jr. So

1:46

someone posted this on

1:49

X this week. So

1:52

what we're looking at here is a

1:54

TikTok video from 2022 that

1:57

woman is named Tyler Idol. She's a

1:59

poor girl. She's a porn actress, she's got

2:01

an OnlyFans account, she's on TikTok a lot. And

2:04

on one of her videos, there's

2:07

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. verified

2:09

account of replying, wow. You

2:12

might say he believes in that moon landing. And

2:15

then there's two little heart

2:17

smiley emojis. Yeah, the

2:20

smiley kind of sheepish with the

2:22

three hearts. Yeah, so

2:25

the MAGA person, I think his name

2:27

is like MAGA Joe or something that put it up. He

2:31

revealed this and then, a

2:34

lot of people said, wow, it's like a very

2:36

Ted Cruz liking the porn on 9-11. Remember

2:40

that? One of the best things that's ever happened

2:42

on 9-11. That's ever happened. I mean, there's a lot of bad

2:44

options and very few good options on 9-11. So

2:48

people were wondering why he was liking this, why

2:50

he was commenting on this. And then

2:52

we got, I didn't think we were gonna

2:54

get an explanation. We got this explanation from RFK

2:56

Jr. Ooh, three parts. So complicated. The first tweet

2:58

is, do people really think

3:00

I was TikTok-ing in 2022? Which

3:03

two years ago. It's a one and a half. Why?

3:05

It's a wild thing to tweet. Like that's

3:07

your kickoff to this. So do people think

3:10

that, and then he says the TikTok comment

3:12

in question was made in 2022 long before

3:14

I ever had a TikTok account. This comment

3:16

now appears on my account because the account

3:19

was previously owned by one of the campaign's

3:21

young social media managers. And

3:23

then he said, when I announced my run for the presidency in

3:25

April of 2023, the team wanted

3:27

it broadcast on every social platform, including TikTok.

3:29

However, TikTok does not allow live streaming for

3:32

accounts that have less than a thousand followers.

3:34

Fewer than. The social. The

3:38

social media manager decided to transfer his account,

3:40

which had around 1500 followers to me in

3:43

order to stream my announcement on TikTok.

3:46

All right, what do we think? We believe it? You

3:48

listen. Listen, I don't

3:50

know. A lot of words to say it wasn't me

3:52

yanking the cord. Also

3:54

John, to your point about him saying, back in 2022, it was

3:57

September of 2020. Q4

4:02

That three or four I have no idea what Q Sounds

4:05

like Q4. Thank you. Uh Yeah,

4:07

I mean I'm inclined to give him the benefit

4:09

of the doubt. No, I'm not Not

4:12

remember when he farted at the dinner, too Oh

4:15

my god, was that a BBL could inform

4:17

policy wasn't that the dinner he had a

4:19

dinner where like several ancient colonists started bickering

4:22

and Incredible

4:25

so one of the one of the great Journalistic

4:28

institutions left of our time the

4:30

Daily Mail wrote a whole story about this and The

4:33

campaign didn't just like it didn't just stop

4:35

at a young social media manager The campaign

4:38

gave the guy's name Oh, no

4:40

and picture to the Daily Mail and

4:42

a picture of him with RFK jr

4:44

His name is Rajon Murphy 33 from

4:46

Georgia and he was like, yeah I

4:49

was supposed to set and they give this whole

4:51

explanation. He's like I was supposed to set up

4:53

the account and And I was

4:55

just moving too fast and I didn't think

4:57

that all of my old comments would be

4:59

deleted But they are and so

5:02

I don't know if he's now He's the fall

5:04

guy for this or it's really true because

5:06

when you look for him now He has

5:08

no social media accounts anywhere So this is

5:10

the guy who supposedly had like a lot

5:13

of followers on tick tock But now he

5:15

is not on tick tock instagram or anywhere

5:17

else to be found Well, I mean traditionally

5:19

rfk jr has been real straight shooters, you

5:21

know, you can take him at his

5:23

word Well, I mean, yeah, this is where

5:25

he's claiming. He wasn't doing the shooting actually

5:28

It's I will say like the video itself was

5:30

not explicit like it's not a it's it's an

5:32

embarrassing thing But he they i'm surprised how much

5:34

attention they drew to it Yes,

5:37

he more forcefully pushed back

5:40

on this Then the

5:42

leaked video of him saying that covet

5:44

targets white people and black people and

5:46

not jews and chinese people This is

5:48

where he draws a line. This is

5:50

his line in the sand I

5:53

feel like he's really yeah What

5:55

makes me most suspicious about it is that they

5:57

went so hard at trying to uh, You

6:00

know, every once in a while, there'll be

6:03

a story about a corruption scandal or a

6:05

crime committed by a campaign or congressional office,

6:07

and some young

6:09

person will end

6:11

up in jail because they

6:14

followed, they went along with

6:16

something that they shouldn't have gone along with, and

6:18

they thought, like, you know, they didn't listen

6:20

to their little voice telling them that, like,

6:22

this is just a job, don't give up

6:24

your own reputation for that of a politician.

6:27

And in this case, I'm

6:30

glad this guy fucking set himself on fire

6:32

for RFK Jr. You deserve everything you're getting.

6:35

If you think that this cause, this cause is so

6:37

fucking worthy that you're going to be like, no, no,

6:39

no, I'm Spartacus. It's

6:42

my fucking, it's my, it's my wank

6:44

like. It's my 20th.

6:46

That was horny. That's mine. No, no, it's not RFK Jr.

6:52

It's hard to get a handle on

6:54

RFK's thought pattern.

6:56

Huh? Huh? I

6:58

got it, Tommy. That's pretty good. You don't speak bro.

7:03

It wasn't even, it

7:05

wasn't even. You

7:07

don't even know who's in the Super Bowl next weekend. Super

7:10

dork. Of course I do. The Jews told

7:12

me six weeks ago. We

7:16

met in the basement. We

7:20

were like, you know, everybody feel good about taking those

7:22

golds from those Russians and giving them to the Americans

7:24

were like, yes, we need the win. And

7:27

then we said, uh, 49ers versus, um,

7:29

you know, obviously Travis's team. I'm

7:32

taken aback by the fact that it was just, it's

7:34

really not that racey picture at all. It could be

7:36

in any catalog for clothing. But

7:39

her, well, yeah, you know, catalogs. I'll tell you though,

7:42

we all have catalogs. Websites. Her

7:44

only fans is blowing up. She's now

7:46

posted videos about being the RFK Jr.

7:49

Girl. Yeah. Someone made out

7:51

great in this whole thing. Something to be said about,

7:53

um, look, I just think, um, something about a grassy,

7:55

no. All right. And if the end of, I was

7:57

going to say, yes, avoid that. Is it a bad

7:59

time to tell you that I've been liking Only Fan

8:02

Girls on all of your accounts right now? Thank you.

8:05

As a social haven, I am. Don't be,

8:07

I have a question for you. Is it

8:09

possible to transfer your TikTok account, and then,

8:11

because there's a new handle that just says

8:13

the Kennedy 2024 campaign, there's

8:16

no traces of it being an old? No.

8:19

It's not. No. So then he's

8:21

full of shit? Yeah. I love this.

8:23

Full of shit and horny. Like those fall

8:25

into shit. I was hoping we'd have one

8:28

of our social media experts here. I

8:30

only know this because Amelia, our old social

8:33

maven, she had to make

8:35

another account because she wanted to try

8:37

something completely different. And so you have to start

8:39

from the ground up for the most part. This

8:42

is bullshit. Bootstrapping it. Who

8:44

was TikTok-ing in 2022? Q4.

8:47

I wasn't even horny in Q3. Meanwhile,

8:51

he was cut to him shirtless

8:53

in jeans, lifting weights in gold

8:55

gym. Anyway, that's

8:57

what I got. All right. He's

8:59

still on the campaign, by the way. He's helping- He's

9:01

helping organize the campaign's Black History Month

9:04

event. Great. Cool.

9:07

Yeah. I wonder what George Papadopoulos is up

9:09

to these days. Wow. George

9:11

Papadopoulos. Look at you. Wow.

9:14

I think, I don't know. I feel like that's just,

9:16

I think it's a two honestly. Yeah,

9:18

it's a two. I saw a sign that said Basta

9:21

today and it made me think of that guy. Basta,

9:23

remember? Remember, it was our guest. Oh,

9:26

oh, oh, Michael Avenatti. Oh, no, thank you. Michael

9:29

Avenatti. Michael Avenatti, it's his primary to

9:31

lose. All

9:33

right. I think you're a two. Cool. Yeah,

9:36

agree. If you knew about it

9:38

before RFK pushed back, then you would have been

9:40

like a four or five. RFK is terminal though.

9:42

That's terminally online. Oh yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That

9:44

is true. Big time. For sure. Yeah,

9:47

that's right. The credit card companies are ripping you off and

9:50

you don't even know it. Every time you use your credit

9:52

card, they charge a hidden swipe fee. It costs the average

9:54

family more than $1,100 per year. Really,

9:56

$1,100. That's because the

9:59

credit card companies. banks into pricing

10:01

cartels, it's like OPEC for credit cards. With

10:03

no competition, we have the highest credit card

10:05

swipe fees in the world. That is just

10:08

wrong. Thankfully, the House and Senate have a

10:10

bipartisan bill to fix this problem. The Credit

10:12

Card Competition Act, it would finally make credit

10:14

card companies compete like every business across the

10:17

country is supposed to do. So call your

10:19

senators and representatives and tell them to pass

10:21

the Credit Card Competition Act. Love

10:24

This show is sponsored by BetterHelp. This month is

11:38

all about gratitude and along with thanking family and

11:40

friends is another person we don't get to thank

11:42

enough ourselves. Thank you. I've been saying

11:44

that to myself in between my weekly dose of

11:47

applause from an audience. I've been looking

11:49

for more opportunities to thank myself. Maybe

11:52

a standing O for you. From

11:54

you. Right there in the mirror. And

11:57

sometimes hard to remind ourselves that we are trying our best

11:59

to make sense. of everything. And in this crazy world,

12:01

that isn't easy. Here's a reminder to

12:03

send some thanks to the people in your life,

12:05

including yourself. If you're thinking of starting therapy, give

12:07

better help a try. It's entirely online, designed to

12:09

be convenient, flexible, and suited to your schedule. Just

12:12

fill out a brief questionnaire to get matched with

12:14

a licensed therapist and switch therapists anytime for no

12:16

additional charge. It's now the time of the election

12:18

season where I realize that the

12:21

low hum of anxiety of the election

12:23

is hitting me in other places. Same.

12:25

Like I'm starting to realize like, oh, that's

12:27

why I'm in such a bad mood. The

12:29

country's on the precipice of decline. Like, oh,

12:32

my tummy hurts. Yeah, yeah.

12:34

Why? All the time. Oh yeah. It's weird that

12:36

I have all of a sudden, it's also just

12:38

all of a sudden I realize I like, oh,

12:40

there's Tums in my car now. You

12:42

know, I think maybe you turn 40 and then

12:44

like the Tums appear. The Tums, I take a

12:46

couple every day just to be proactive, you know?

12:48

Or like I got acid reflux, I got Trump

12:50

reflux. Huh? That's what's

12:52

happening right now. That feeling in your chest. The point

12:54

is you need therapy. And if you're

12:57

like me and scheduled a podcast recording where

12:59

your therapy used to be, you realize how

13:01

much that was a mistake. If

13:03

you're thinking of starting therapy, give BetterHelp a

13:21

when were you two online this week? I

13:23

was two online this week. I'm gonna show you

13:26

two videos. I'm gonna show the first video twice.

13:28

I just wanted to just show you the first

13:30

video. This is called Balkan Breakfast. Let's

13:33

watch Balkan Breakfast. Is it Chicago style? And

13:37

for those listening, here's what I

13:39

love about it. So this is,

13:41

hey, a man sitting at a

13:43

table. He's

13:47

got some kind of a gold chain, black t-shirt.

13:49

What did I say? So basically

13:51

he's sitting in front of a pile of different

13:53

kinds of vegetables. A

13:56

tomato, an onion, some kind of glass

13:58

of beer juice. and she's

14:00

in a bag. Fanta. And maybe

14:02

it could be Fanta. It does look Fanta color. Yeah,

14:05

it does look Fanta. And basically he's only

14:07

using one hand, I should say. And

14:09

he basically just kind of,

14:12

it's like jazz. Like he grabs

14:14

the bread, bites the bread, eats half the tomato,

14:16

grabs a cucumber, bites the cucumber. Takes

14:18

some kind of like what looks like a big pepper. Takes

14:21

a big bite of pepper. He hasn't stopped. And it's

14:23

based, and he doesn't stop for the entire video. Oh, he's using

14:25

it on our hand right now. Oh, the other hand came out

14:27

for bread ripping. He never, he

14:29

grabs cheese, grabs cheese.

14:33

He never completes a bite. Takes

14:35

picks up a tomato, half a third of a

14:37

tomato, gone. He's not even chewing it. He's just

14:39

chewing, always chewing. His mouth is always like, oh

14:41

my God. A whole kind of pepper goes in

14:44

or it looks like maybe a green, another pepper

14:46

all the way down. So

14:49

this, so this was said, this

14:51

was described in the video as Balkan

14:53

breakfast. I

14:56

played a whole world in my mind. And

14:58

here's what I didn't know about Balkan breakfast. I

15:01

know the Balkan region. I actually realized

15:03

I didn't know technically the bounds of the Balkan

15:06

region. I know when I

15:08

think of the Balkans, my mind goes to

15:10

1990s geopolitics. So

15:12

I think of Serbia, I think of Macedonia, I

15:16

think of Albania, I think of Bosnia and

15:18

Herzegovina. I think of

15:20

that region. I don't know what the boundaries

15:22

are. I also didn't know what Balkan breakfast

15:24

was. I assumed it

15:28

meant the food, right? Like the kinds of food

15:30

and then, oh, is that like a Balkan breakfast,

15:32

which would be in some part of the Balkan

15:34

region. You just have a bunch

15:36

of tomato and vegetables and a piece of cheese and

15:38

a piece of bread. And you kind of make

15:41

something out of that and eat it all together.

15:44

Come to discover with some light

15:46

searching that it's also the style

15:49

and speed of consumption. Can we watch the

15:51

next video? I fucking love

15:53

this topic. It's like a sweater. And

15:57

here is another person. Eating

16:00

in the same way, making the

16:02

same facial expressions, doing the same

16:04

thing, just housing this food. And

16:07

there's other videos like this. You

16:09

can search for Albanian breakfast or

16:12

how Macedonian dads eat breakfast. Kirill,

16:15

who's on our audio team said, I

16:17

have relatives that eat like that.

16:20

And that is perhaps the

16:22

extent of the deep dive that I did, right? And you

16:24

can rate me however you wanna rate me. But here's

16:26

what I want you to understand as we go back to

16:29

the first video. I

16:31

have watched this and can we please

16:33

play it again? Five. I have watched

16:36

this so many times. It's

16:40

because I can't explain

16:42

and you should just,

16:45

it's the amount he's eating. It's the

16:47

fact that it never gets faster or

16:50

slower that no one bite is completed.

16:52

That basically his mouth is a place

16:54

where a salad is being chopped at

16:56

all times. Sometimes there's

16:58

more tomato, sometimes more cucumber, sometimes more

17:01

bean, sometimes more cheese, but he's going

17:03

and going and going. And like the

17:05

closest thing I can compare it to

17:07

and the feeling you get is if

17:10

you've ever listened to Philip Glass's music

17:12

and the way it rises and falls,

17:16

but never completes that like

17:18

it, like you're constantly in

17:20

this kind of rhythm

17:23

and music where there's crescendos and

17:25

there's highs and lows, but

17:29

it stays in this one band. And the thing

17:31

is because it's TikTok, the video just starts again.

17:34

If you're not paying close attention, you won't notice

17:36

that you've gone back to the beginning. And so

17:38

in a sense, this man is always eating this

17:41

breakfast. He's eating this breakfast in

17:44

perpetuity. And I love it. That

17:47

makes me feel safe. That makes me feel

17:49

comfortable to know that he's probably right now

17:52

just having girl, like advanced girl dinner. It

17:54

is advanced girl dinner. If you're listening on

17:56

the audio, the caption on there is like

17:58

a Snapchat. just like the band across, it

18:00

just says, bro invited me to breakfast and

18:02

I can't get over the image of a

18:04

man being like, come join me for breakfast.

18:06

And then just, and then sing that. Eating

18:08

in silence with just one hand. So,

18:11

it's so, he consumes so

18:13

much food so quickly. Like

18:18

it's, but like comfortably, like just like he

18:21

does it all the time. It really is

18:23

like a Tom and Jerry cartoon when they

18:25

eat a fish and then out comes the

18:27

fish skeleton. I love that. That is exactly

18:29

what it is. Yeah, listeners at home, if

18:31

you watch that video three times, Beetlejuice

18:33

just appears. We don't know why, it just keeps happening.

18:36

Yo, that's the way to eat. The best meals

18:39

in my opinion are grazing fast

18:41

over a sink. Like those are when

18:43

I'm like really happiest on like a

18:45

deep human animalistic level is

18:47

just shoveling like a grazing pile of

18:50

foods over a sink. Yeah, me with

18:52

a Costco rotisserie chicken over a sink,

18:54

game fucking over. Are you guys getting

18:56

any of the content around people saying

18:59

you can't eat the Costco chickens because

19:01

of the oil and the plastic? Grow

19:03

up. The microplastics, yeah. There's microplastics in

19:05

everything. We have a credit card in

19:08

our blood flow at all times. It's

19:10

making me stronger, baby. It's over, us

19:12

trying to circumvent microplastics, it's

19:14

already done. We have credit cards. The

19:17

Costco chickens like especially good. I've never

19:19

been a Costco. Oh,

19:21

they're famously good. I could argue that a

19:24

Sam's Club is better, but

19:26

a Costco chicken is golden,

19:28

baby. Do

19:30

you have a membership? You should. There's a lot

19:33

of microplastics. I've never been to Costco, I don't know. Costco, please

19:35

sponsor me. I

19:39

mean, this is, it's

19:42

like this is a problem with a terminal

19:44

mind scale. There are no problems with the terminal mind

19:46

scale, but this is the kind of terminal I want

19:48

to be. The topic is

19:50

terminal. The research is

19:52

not, but I don't think it needs to

19:54

be in order to be a five. Does

19:56

that make sense? Like I think how niche

19:59

it is. Lawrence

20:01

5, this supplementary video also Lawrence

20:03

5, the fact that he found

20:06

out it's the style of eating.

20:09

It's both. I think it's both. It is. It's

20:12

both. It's very, also very opposite to

20:14

like a, you know, cafe style of eating where we're

20:16

all just taking our time. We can take as much

20:18

time as possible. They're like, we want this in our

20:20

stomach as soon as possible. Yeah. There's

20:22

also just something. One thing I also, one thing that also

20:24

appealed to me about it too is it's just like, I

20:27

feel like the further men

20:29

get away from their training, the

20:33

training they receive from their mothers, most

20:35

likely, the more

20:37

disgusting they become and the

20:39

more feral. People call that

20:41

childhood. They're

20:44

training. They're training. Yeah, they're training. Everyone wants

20:46

to see someone house that much food. That's

20:48

me at 3 a.m. eating Taco Bell. Well,

20:50

I just think it's like maybe there was,

20:52

maybe there's a part of you that fights

20:54

that instinct, right? Yeah, I think Elijah is

20:56

a part of you that's still fighting that

20:58

instinct to eat incredibly fast without

21:00

chewing over a sink. But

21:02

in time, the strictures of society

21:05

will no longer bind you. You

21:07

know, you'll just become, you'll become

21:09

yet another like

21:12

embarrassing man. And you're

21:14

just on that path. We all are. We are. These

21:17

are our content Babadook. Yeah, none of it's better.

21:19

The Lonely Podcaster frees his mind at night over

21:22

a sink. You just want to be in a

21:24

position where you're eating food really fast and you

21:26

breathe through your nose while you

21:28

continue to eat. That's the best feeling. Just taking

21:30

bites and you go. Yeah, that's the best feeling.

21:32

That's what it's good. Look, I

21:34

think this is like this is where

21:36

this gets to a five is if you're

21:39

listening to the show with friends and

21:41

you go out to, you know, you have

21:43

a little charcuterie board Sunday brunch, who knows

21:45

what you're doing. And you just blur it

21:48

out, balking dad breakfast. I'm

21:50

going to start saying, I'm going to

21:52

say, I'm going to Balkan breakfast the

21:55

fuck out of this. Yeah,

21:57

this this. That's good. That's good. I

love it. I love it. Love to Leave It is brought to

25:36

two on mind this week? Yay I want to

25:38

tell you guys a little story about Tucker Carlson

25:40

and a demon. Let's watch sick right

25:42

wing a Sexy

25:45

thing I got attacked while I was asleep

25:47

with my wife and four dogs in the

25:49

bed and mauled four dogs physically

25:52

mauled In

25:54

a spiritual attack by a demon. Yeah by

25:57

a demon or

25:59

by something unseen that left claw

26:02

marks on my sides. So it left physical

26:04

marks? Oh, they're still there. Yeah, yeah. Show

26:06

them. A year and a half ago. Was your

26:09

wife terrified? I know you were. I

26:11

wasn't. I was totally confused. I woke up

26:13

and I couldn't breathe, and I thought I

26:15

was going to suffocate. And I walked around

26:17

outside, and then I walked in, and my

26:19

wife and dogs had not woken up, and

26:21

they're very light sleepers. And then I had

26:23

these terrible pains on my

26:25

rib cage and on my shoulder, and I was just in

26:27

my boxer shorts, and I went and flipped on the light,

26:29

we don't need that. Four claw

26:32

marks on either side underneath my arms and

26:34

on my left shoulder. Volley erect. Yeah,

26:37

right. Wait, they

26:39

were bleeding. They were bleeding, yeah. Oh,

26:41

no actual claw marks. Okay,

26:43

so that's Tucker Carlson. He

26:45

is out in the woods talking

26:48

to a guy. There's B-roll of him

26:50

shooting guns. There's dogs barking in the

26:52

background. The guy he was talking to

26:54

here is the person who made his

26:56

January 6 documentary, Patriot Purge.

26:58

I don't know if you guys remember that. It was

27:01

the one that said Gen 6 was a setup by

27:03

Antifa, the FBI, the

27:05

Deep States, other libs.

27:08

So I just want to talk through with

27:10

you all some possible explanations for what happened

27:13

with Tucker. Because it definitely

27:15

happened. Because it definitely happened. I

27:18

guess if I woke up out

27:20

of a deep sleep in my bed

27:23

with my four dogs and I claw marks

27:25

on me, I might assume I got scratched

27:27

by my dog. Yeah, 100%. I

27:31

thought for a second that I was like, oh, wait,

27:33

he dreamt that there were dogs. And no,

27:35

he had four dogs in the bed. Four dogs. He's

27:37

like, dogs in the bed. He's like, oh, the dogs were sleepy

27:39

and there were lights sleeping. Like, maybe

27:42

they went back to sleep? That's what our

27:44

secret liberal weapon should be. It's just like,

27:46

release the dogs at night. So I just

27:49

get them. Also,

27:51

subtopic, documentaries, right wing or left

27:54

wing now these days. See, now

27:56

that is... It's

27:59

kind of right way. I think that right wing. I

28:01

think they went right wing. See now that should be

28:03

added. I am now gonna think of

28:06

a list and I will come back with it

28:08

of like actual activities. Next week's TO. Yes,

28:10

that's me, baby. So

28:13

what is the- You're fucking hard out buddy. What's

28:15

the context? Why was he talking to this guy?

28:17

Like he was like, here's my

28:19

ghost story. You know, you've

28:21

really- Right wing. Plumbed further down. Right

28:23

wing. It's a right wing ghost. I don't know why he

28:26

was talking to this guy. I saw it on Twitter, if

28:28

we're being honest. Sure. I did

28:30

wonder though, if he was experiencing

28:32

sleep paralysis, which

28:34

sometimes includes hallucinations, commonly referred

28:37

to as paralysis demons. Yeah.

28:40

There's usually a person at the bottom of the bed.

28:43

A lot of people allegorically will call it the

28:46

man in the hat. Oh, oh no. So

28:48

I looked up a bunch of- It's a Bennecho man. There's

28:50

a bunch of cultural references to

28:52

night demons all over the world. So in

28:55

North America, it was called the night hag

28:57

or the old hag, which is what Elijah's

28:59

wife calls him as a pet

29:01

name. Yup. In Japan. Because,

29:03

and guess what? Elijah

29:05

hates women for the people in the back.

29:07

Keep going. And don't you guys know that?

29:09

It's the hag house. That's where we live.

29:12

That's the hag house. Your son

29:14

is also a hag. Yeah, we're not hags.

29:17

Everyone's a hag. Hags for everyone.

29:19

It's a great sick on my day.

29:21

In Japan, they're called Kanashi bari, which

29:24

translates to bound or fastened in metal. I

29:26

guess in Japanese folklore, your paralysis demon is

29:28

like an angry ghost. You have unresolved beef.

29:30

So they hold you down and they mess

29:32

with you. In the Middle East, they're

29:34

called Jin. They are supernatural beings

29:36

made of smokeless fire. They

29:39

can control you or possess you. In

29:41

Brazil, Pisa deira, it's an old

29:43

woman with long fingernails who jumps on victims. Scandinavia

29:46

and the Kalamara, that's where a

29:48

nightmare comes from. Tanzania,

29:50

it's papawa, which is a bat winged

29:53

creature. Anyway, I'll spare you more. There's

29:55

dozens more of these things. Okay, that's

29:57

great. Maybe he

29:59

was having sleep. And apparently that comes

30:01

when you are sleep deprived, stressed, or

30:04

having some sort of mental

30:06

health issue. Have you ever had sleep paralysis?

30:08

I don't think so. Have you guys? Yes,

30:10

yes. I get hallucinations from narcolepsy. Ooh, okay.

30:12

So it was when I was in New

30:14

York, I was working four jobs. I would

30:17

get sleep paralysis all the time. And I

30:19

would be sleeping underneath a weighted blanket. And

30:21

basically the feeling is that you're awake, but

30:24

you can't move your body and you

30:26

genuinely, you have to coach yourself

30:28

and be like, move your arm, move

30:30

your arm. But at the same time, you're also having a

30:33

panic attack because you're like, am I dying? Is

30:35

this what it's like? And then I just

30:37

thrash myself awake. I've never had the visitation.

30:39

Like a lot of people always say like,

30:41

oh, I know. I would see, the old

30:44

hack. Elijah's. I

30:47

have a counter hypothesis for Tommy about this.

30:50

It didn't happen. Yeah, that's on my

30:52

list. That's a good, if you can't

30:55

say that there are scratch marks still

30:57

there and not show the scratch marks.

30:59

I'm also offended. He just left out

31:01

every other time I've been sitting on

31:03

his ceiling, staring down, ready to scratch

31:05

his face, just

31:07

ignoring the work that women put in. No,

31:10

but this exactly, there's like

31:12

a 1% chance this didn't happen. And I

31:14

think we need to entertain that possibility. Absolutely.

31:16

I think there's also a 1% chance that

31:19

he's fucking a sleep demon. Yeah.

31:22

And it's an ongoing thing. And this is

31:24

how you rationalize it. Well, someone has to. Demon

31:28

it is. It's

31:30

the only one that will fuck Tucker. Exactly. It's

31:33

not only that the guy who was interviewing

31:35

him wasn't like, can I see the marks?

31:37

Right. Like, come on. The other

31:39

thing is that's very funny about this video is

31:41

later the guy's like, well, could it

31:44

have been like your wife or your dogs? And

31:46

Tucker Carlson's like, no, my arms were at my

31:48

side. So it couldn't have been them. But the

31:50

implication is like, yeah. That makes no sense. Like

31:52

the demon can get through your arms. Like

31:54

you stupid interviewer. And so can your wife.

31:56

Like the dogs can't get through. His wife

31:58

doesn't have a- You got through your arms.

32:01

The demon can though. So that's just- His

32:03

wife doesn't even have arms. I also wanna

32:05

entertain the theory that- Famously so. I

32:07

also wanna maybe just entertain the theory that

32:09

Tucker has been having a

32:12

many year long psychotic break. Yes.

32:15

And this is a piece of that puzzle. Yeah, for sure. Because

32:18

there was a long Wall Street Journal story about him

32:20

a few months back that talked about an incident

32:22

he recounted to this reporter where he was

32:25

having a dinner, he was hosting former top

32:28

US national security people and someone

32:30

told him some like thing about the CIA

32:32

killing American citizens. And he said he was

32:34

so shocked that he

32:36

then collapsed on his front porch. Two of his

32:38

vertebrae had caved in and he had to go

32:40

to the hospital for emergency surgery. So it sounds

32:43

like guys having some issues.

32:46

Manifesting. Issues. All of his

32:48

fishing trips were just that. He just

32:50

kept collapsing after hearing secrets. The

32:54

weight of the secrets is too much. That's

32:58

great. This one's a

33:00

little tough to judge for me for how

33:02

online Tommy is. It's a deep

33:04

dive into something that was going around but I

33:06

did see it. Dunfee, Kat, did you guys see

33:08

this? Yes, but I'm not

33:10

a good judge for this. I'm not on Twitter,

33:13

but I did see it on Slack and that

33:15

I was like, this is a true triumph. So

33:18

it's one of those weird moments like where we've all

33:20

seen it, but like this is very online. Like Dave,

33:22

you just were to go up to someone and be

33:24

like, hey, Tucker Carlson, demons, scratches,

33:27

you guys know what I'm talking about. Like

33:30

it's a four, right? I

33:32

think for Tucker Carlson's like Christmas

33:34

episode, instead of interviewing Kevin Spacey

33:36

from House of Cards, I think

33:39

it should be his sleep paralysis,

33:41

Steven and Kevin Spacey from House

33:43

of Cards. I'm coming

33:45

for a five today. Okay. I want it.

33:48

I want everyone to know that every day that Elijah and I

33:50

have walked into the United Center, he turns around and looks at

33:52

me and he goes, you know what it smells like? And then

33:54

I go, what? And then goes content, baby. It's

33:56

electric. It is thick in the air.

33:59

What gives you hope? Content. All right, so

34:01

I'll bring the tweet. Kat, will you read this

34:03

tweet for me? Because I saw it the other

34:05

day. I'm worried there's some lingering

34:07

tension between the Rizzler and Big Justice. Big

34:10

Justice was taking petty shots at him left

34:12

and right on the Los Pollo stream. I

34:14

hope this jealousy doesn't boil over. I would

34:16

side with the Rizzler if it did. 3.8

34:21

million views. I know who the Rizzler is. You know who the

34:24

Rizzler is? OK. Do you know who any

34:26

of those people are? I think

34:29

I know Rizzler, but I'm not sure. Kat,

34:31

do you know who these people are? He might be the

34:33

new Rizzler. Very vaguely. Once again, I have

34:35

been caught in the content trenches, my own

34:37

content trenches. I may be

34:39

confusing the Rizzler and the Rizz King. Yeah,

34:42

you may be confusing the Rizzler with Baby

34:44

Gronk, who Rizzed up Lizzie Dunn

34:46

and is asked, is he the Rizzler? Right, right,

34:48

right, right. A lot of people have made that

34:50

mistake. No, you're not up on the new Rizzler.

34:52

Who's the new Rizzler? Let

34:54

me explain the characters in this drama. So

34:59

I'm going to start wide, because to get to the

35:01

Rizzler, you first need to understand who Big Justice is.

35:04

Big Justice and his

35:06

dad, AJ, are a father-son content

35:08

duo. They're also known as the

35:10

Costco guys because of their viral

35:13

or Costco guys video. I'm

35:15

going to skip this for the sake of

35:17

time of the genre of we're blank people

35:20

videos, but I'm skipping it. Carolyn,

35:22

Ressa, and I have one of we're bi girls.

35:24

Driving by. They're awful. Driving by. They hit a

35:26

million views on each platform. Wait, what are you saying?

35:28

Me and Carolyn Reston had a we're bi girls. They

35:30

hit a million views on each platform. Humble brag, keep

35:32

going. Thanks, Elijah. So Big Justice and AJ

35:34

are always expanding the circle of people

35:37

and their content, such as Big Justice's

35:39

sister Ashley, Cousin Angelo,

35:41

Sally Slices, and many

35:43

other people and creators,

35:45

definitely creators, including the

35:48

Rizzler. Any questions before

35:50

I get on to who the Rizzler is? No, keep

35:52

going. OK, so I'll just clarify. Sally Slices. Who Rizz?

35:54

And then you say to your friend, like, oh, if

35:56

you have a lot of Rizz, you may be the

35:58

Rizzler. Now the Rizzler. here

36:00

has become known as a child

36:02

TikTok star in his own right.

36:05

His whole shtick is he eats a lot of

36:07

food. He's like a bigger kid. And

36:09

his name is the Rizzler because he has a good

36:11

Rizz face, which is like the Chad face, like the

36:14

making the face right now. Oh my god.

36:17

Yeah, it's the DreamWorks face. It's like a

36:19

big cartoon snail. Yeah. Yeah. He makes a

36:21

good Rizz face. Spot on.

36:23

People love the Rizz face. Lastly, there's

36:25

the Los Pollo stream, which is just

36:27

the least important player here, Los Pollos

36:30

is just an influencer that was doing a

36:32

stream with AJ, Big Justice, and the Rizzler

36:34

because they're doing a lot of collabs right

36:36

now. And to be clear, Big Justice is

36:39

the adult. No, Big Justice is

36:41

the son. AJ is the adult. Yeah. How

36:44

old is the son? They're probably

36:46

like seven to eight years old each.

36:49

And they're very Italian American.

36:51

Yeah. My people.

36:53

Yeah. Thank you. I

36:56

guess I'll do these hands. What I know

36:58

about AJ and Big Justice's content is that

37:00

it's really bad. It's

37:02

really, really bad. I've

37:05

seen people refer to it as like, non-tent,

37:07

which is a great term, in my opinion.

37:10

I've never heard that. It's numbers, though. I love it. Yes. It's

37:12

just like them, they

37:14

have this phrase, we bring the boom. And

37:16

half of their content is them just singing, we

37:18

bring the boom. And it just cuts to someone

37:20

else in their circle. So it's be like, Sally

37:23

Slices, we bring the boom. Cousin Angelo, we

37:25

bring the boom. Ashley, sister of Big Justice, we

37:27

bring the boom. It's very reductive. The point is,

37:29

there is now a meme to really overreact and

37:34

read into every little micro

37:37

social interaction that happens in

37:39

the Big Justice AJ

37:42

universe. And that's

37:45

what the original tweet was. OK,

37:47

yeah. So you're five. Five. OK.

37:50

You're unwell. That is,

37:52

I honestly, I don't know what a six would be. Yeah.

37:55

But it would be that. I

37:58

think so. That is the most depressing. world

38:02

that I've been introduced to on this show over

38:04

the course of the last year we've been doing

38:06

it. Every detail is a little

38:08

darker like AJ the dad it was a

38:10

former professional wrestler who failed as a professional

38:12

wrestler. I really dislike kids

38:14

being part of the

38:17

world of YouTube and

38:19

streaming. I hate it.

38:23

Really uncomfortable. They usually never see any of that money. It's

38:27

just it cannot be good for

38:29

anybody. These kids cannot consent to being part

38:31

of this. They can't understand the consequences for

38:33

their future for being part of this. It's

38:35

not right. None of it's right. Yuck.

38:38

You're dead. Anyone

38:41

disagree. I'm terminal.

38:43

I know. I guess

38:45

I'm actually some help. No. Do you.

38:48

What were the petty shots being

38:50

taken. Great question. Thank you. So

38:54

for instance you know the Rizzlers always

38:56

eating. He's eating some ice cream on

38:58

the Los Pollo stream and

39:00

he takes a bite and he says

39:02

bro this is the best ice cream

39:05

I've ever had to which big justice

39:07

says you literally said that

39:09

last night and the night before

39:11

and the Rizzler shoots him a look like and

39:15

you can just tell like the Rizzlers

39:17

getting ready to fucking snap. How

39:20

old is the Rizzler. Seven. Did

39:22

he. Their voices are so I don't ever want to

39:24

see it. So it's all seven years old. Yeah.

39:31

Nice graphics package. Watch the fucking TV show. What

39:33

are you doing. He's a dad. He doesn't

39:37

have time to watch his TV show. Where.

39:39

How are you watching this. Why

39:42

are you consuming this. OK. Listen

39:44

liberal elite succession watcher. American pass.

39:46

This is Yellowstone. This is what

39:48

real America is. Yeah. This is

39:53

Yellowstone. Are you watching Yellowstone. This is

39:56

also yellow. Yellowstone. There's

40:00

elite media and not elite media. Oh. You

40:02

consume elite media. I know. Sorry. Are you guys trying

40:05

to talk while we're having a thing? I just think

40:07

we could have a sub podcast and a sub

40:09

podcast. No, keep going. No, what would you guys

40:11

talk about? That's where you just shit on men's

40:13

media. Just like Yellowstone. That's such a boy show.

40:15

Such a boy show. This is the point I

40:17

was making about y'all underestimating Trump and going on

40:19

Theo Bond right now. Oh my god. Little bubble.

40:21

Little bubble. And you don't understand that. This is

40:23

real America. The average voter has an opinion about

40:25

the Rizzler and Big Justice. I didn't know it

40:27

was that. How many views does it have? Oh,

40:29

wow. That is a lot of that. That

40:31

kid does have a great DreamWorks

40:34

face. But no, you should be

40:36

shot out of a cannon for even telling us about this. None of

40:38

us should know it. It's the fucking ring. I thought

40:40

I knew something about it. I knew nothing. I

40:42

knew nothing. I was confusing Rizzler and Rizz King. Me

40:44

too. Well, you know. There's a

40:47

difference though. I know the Costco Dad's thing though. You

40:49

know what? I think the reason you have to be a six, I

40:52

think this is what a definition of a six is. Your

40:55

case is so bad, it makes everyone

40:57

else around you. It's

40:59

worse and terminal. I actually think that

41:01

you telling us that it's contagious. I

41:04

think this needs to be a new category. Quarantine.

41:07

Dead, patient zero. You brought

41:09

us into this world. And

41:13

now our brains are a little bit fucked

41:15

up because we know that there's a seven-year-old

41:17

eating ice cream being berated

41:19

by Big Justice. So good

41:21

job, Elijah. You made the world a workplace. He's

41:23

been in the place together. Look at him. Sorry for doing the show. Sorry.

41:26

Sorry for being terminally online. Yeah, I'm bumping

41:29

up to a six. All right, thank you.

41:31

I'll accept. Six. It's

41:58

not it, believe it. When

42:00
