===

Jenn: [00:00:00] the Simpsons keep

DeJah: predicting the future.

Jenn: Yeah. Oh yeah. I've seen

DeJah: stuff about that too. I mean, holy shit, they really have prognosticate volumous amount of events,

Jenn: What is up guys? What a do, how are we doing out there? I'm gonna give you time to respond. How you doing guys? How you doing? Deja?

DeJah: Go ahead, let us know. Listeners, how are you? How you doing? [00:01:00] I'm doing fantastic. I am very much enjoying the little trees.

Hemp infused sparkling water.

Jenn: Oh. And see she my life wife. I like grape things. Grape Kool-Aid was my favorite back when I was young and didn't care about the possibility of getting diabetes. Um, diabetes. Um, so anyway, I like grape things. And she brought me, um, A-A-T-H-C drink as well, that is grape flavored.

And I That's what you heard me cracking. And I just took a sip and it's delicious. Excellent. It reminds me of like a fanta like grape soda. Yes. Without all of the sugar. Yes. And with an extra little

DeJah: in it, let me tell you. And the, the same, I, it's still, it's only 13 calories. Mm-hmm. Compare that to a regular soda, grape soda.

Oh yeah. Right. Um, yeah. When I was in, uh, DC I had found that amazing root beer that Yeah. Same super low calories, like, and just. Can Real cane [00:02:00] sugar. Yeah. Real, real cane sugar. Real cane sugar. But, uh, yeah, just freaking delicious and, uh, fun little THC additive in there.

Jenn: Woo-hoo. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Mm-hmm. So, yeah, it's tasty.

We like it. Mm-hmm. Um, here for it and we'll be tasting. So actually by the time this comes out, we will have tasted some in, in Colorado. So, um, yeah. Thanks for joining us for another episode. Uh, and the last episode I mentioned having to roll the dice, and that's how you live life and that's what we're doing.

Yeah. Because tech difficulties di prevented our, the guests that we had lined up from joining us. So you're stuck with me, deja and Joe again. Mm-hmm.

How you doing over there, Joe? I'm, I'm good. Or stepped up to plate?

DeJah: Yes. Yes. That's okay. We're gonna keep it rolling. Yep. Because this is what you do literally about rambling. Yep. And, uh, that's easy enough. Yeah. Yeah. That's another we, we spent out time

Jenn: together that we know. Mm-hmm. We never run out of things to [00:03:00] talk about.

Nope. Nope, nope. No. Oh yeah. So I, you know, I dunno, anybody got something that's on their mind? What we thinking about?

Joe: I, I have a very serious question. Mm-hmm. Okay. Because I know this has been a heated issue and we've talked a lot about whether or not a hot dog is a sandwich. Mm-hmm. And I know that, um, the camp is split.

Mm-hmm. And I think that this is a very similar question and, and I wonder if you can defend your hot dog as a sandwich if you apply this logic. So is cereal soup, why or why not?

It's been a good show. We're still here.

DeJah: I have an answer. I, I have an answer. Play the electro music dude. And it is no. Okay, because temperature, no base, a soup is a broth base.

Joe: Uhhuh

DeJah: milk ain't broth. [00:04:00]

Jenn: That's true. Comes from the same

Joe: am animal.

DeJah: Am

Jenn: amol.

DeJah: Where? Where do you, do you milk a chicken? Do you milk fucking chicken Joe.

Beef. Beef broth is a thing. Chicken broth is the base of both soup. Beside I'm like, he's out there milking the salary that they make, the vegetable base broth.

Jenn: Of course you can have cereal with almond milk.

DeJah: Yeah,

Jenn: yeah. But that's still, yeah. I think for me it's a temperature thing. Mm. Well what about gpac?

Joe: Exactly. Because there's cold soup. Yeah, yeah. Tomato, which is just fruit. Mm-hmm. It's just mu mushed up fruit,

Jenn: tomato, I still heat up. Mm-hmm. Uh, however, to that end growing up, you know, you add milk to tomato soup, so does that make tomato, tomato soup, tomato cereal? That is expensive to some

Joe: people.

Jenn: Yeah.

Yeah. Um, my initial reaction is to think, no, and, and it mine really does go to the temperature. I've never had. I guess some people consider like porridge a cereal in a way, which is warm. [00:05:00]

DeJah: What are they? Or

Jenn: like oatmeal. But are

DeJah: they as in the English or those people?

Joe: Right.

They're steering wheels on the wrong side. Oh

Jenn: yeah. That's bastards. I don't, yeah, no. I, I, I, we are on, we're in the same camp for this one. I don't, I don't think a soup and cereal or, I don't even know exactly how the question was posed, but they're not the same.

DeJah: Then we, then we could just go into a histrionic like, well, cereal wasn't invented.

The word wasn't until they marketed it. So, uh, other than it was representative of a grain. Right, because the cereal is a grain, um, when you're talking about actual Yeah. Production of what the cereal is made out of.

Joe: Yeah. I see that.

DeJah: Like, but it, they, I don't think people were. I say it, mama, may I have some more please,

Jenn: ma, may I have some more soup?

DeJah: May I have some more cold soup [00:06:00] Cereal, mama.

Jenn: Cold soup. So that's just something sound comforting. Also soup, like whenever you're sick, you want soup. It's comforting, warm. Nobody wants cereal and you know,

DeJah: I, I just accept for, for cultural acceptance, right? I accept, yes, gazpacho is cold soup, but then also, uh, in my ignorant bias, I'm like, that's just salsa.

Like, I'm just gonna, it just stiff some chips in there.

Joe: That's just salsa. That is GPAC salsa. The debate rages on. We'll never know. All right. Here, I got another question then.

Jenn: Okay.

Joe: Um, what is the Pettiest Hill that you've ever died on?

Jenn: Oh, that a hot dog

Joe: is a sandwich.

That was something where you just went way too hard.

Jenn: Oh, man. Way

Joe: too hard.

Jenn: Oh, wow. Um, the Pettiest Hill,

I, oh, puppy appearance. [00:07:00] There's a dog in the studio.

Oh, I'm sure. It involves me not being sober. Mm-hmm.

DeJah: I need, I'm not, I'm not a pe I'm not a petty person, but I know that in one small respect, I am like in the, in the workplace, if there is someone that doesn't like me. Right. I don't like them.

Joe: You know who you are, Tina, right?

DeJah: Like pa, past tense. I don't have anybody that I work have working for me that I, you know, we love everybody, but, um, past tense, right?

Um, I'm, I'm not a, like, I'm gonna like put your, you know, stapler and jello. Like, I'm not, I'm not that. I'm, I'm more of like a, oh, I'm just gonna, I'm just gonna outwork you and make you look like a fool. Yeah. Like [00:08:00] I will just like strategically just spend my evenings like trying to figure out,

Jenn: I don't think that that's like a, a, a petty thing, you know what I mean?

That's, I dunno, like think, I was just thinking

DeJah: maybe that's my, my my, the couple times where I would just sit there and fixate, like Yeah. 'cause then I would mic drop and quit.

Jenn: I, this is, this is a true story, like real life story. This has happened. This really?

DeJah: Yep. I, I'm a hundred percent, I'm just gonna go balls to the walls.

This person wanted, try and make me look bad. I'll make them look bad and then I'm out.

Jenn: I don't burning, burning these

Joe: bridges.

Jenn: Yeah. Joe, do you have a petty hill that you've died on? 'cause I'm still, I was thinking about, I

Joe: was, I thought for sure there was something I did to my wife, but nothing's coming to mind.

Uh, I feel like, I feel like

Jenn: she's, if she's ever listening, she's gonna be like, oh, I got 'em. She's got a list. She's like,

Joe: uh, I feel like I have done this more than once. Where I'm on a long expressway trip and somebody will pass me and then slow down and I will pass them and slow down. Oh, the retaliation?

Yes. [00:09:00] Until they get real, real mad. Mm. And then I'll go fast and they'll just be trying to catch me and everybody else is like asleep 'cause it's a long car ride. And then they wake up and I'm like, I gotta exit. 'cause this has been a ongoing feud for hours. Oh man, this guy catches us. It's over. Some,

DeJah: some people are like legit petty.

One of my favorite, um, YouTube content creators, like just reads and shows off petty stories that, uh, from Reddit and that shit is hilarious. Like some people like really? They're, especially if you've been cheated on.

Joe: Mm. Oh

DeJah: man. My favorite story though, I was like, Ooh, I'm, uh, I'm gonna mentally clock this.

She, she put shrimp inside everything, including the curtain rods. And so no matter what he did, he couldn't fucking get it out. You couldn't figure out where the smell was coming from. Oh,

Jenn: that, um, you know, when I used to work in family law, obviously we saw some things and, uh, there [00:10:00] was a client that one of the attorneys had, and the ex put like chopped up fish in the, like HVAC vents because Oh, our client.

Yeah, that'll do her, our client got the, the house back in the settlement and so our client was moving back in and the opposing party had to leave. And so this person was very upset and not only did they chop up all of this fish and like put in the HVAC so it like ruined like they, this our, our client had to like replace stuff.

The opposing party also took like all of the appliances that they could with them. Oh yeah. As well. Like they were very butt hurt and Betty about this whole situation, even though. There really wasn't warranted to be, you know, just, I mean, I know I can't divulge stuff about the case or whatever, but hey, people place value.

On things

DeJah: when emotions evolved, you know, well, jokes on her

Jenn: because the them, because the judge ordered them to, uh, to return it,

DeJah: to return the [00:11:00] appliances. So, yeah, because, um, listeners, uh, in the state of North Carolina, it's considered part of your home, your appliances. Mm-hmm. They're considered part of your home.

That's real estate.

Joe: Yep. I saw a funny, uh, Instagram reel of somebody being petty the other day, and it was a, a guy, and it just, you know how sometimes they're doing something and then it's written on the screen and it says, uh, returning the neighbor's dog's poop. Oh, yes. Oh, and he scoops it up in a shovel, and then he is got the poop.

And then he is on one of those one wheely things like a skateboarder, and he goes past the neighbor sauce and flicks it at their white SUP Oh. All the poop just sticks to it. I, I, I can top that.

DeJah: There was a story that just came out of France where there was a bunch of farmers who were super sick of these hippie assholes pulling up in their vans, in their hippie dippy spirits and parking in, in, um, on property that isn't public property.

It's private property, right? Mm-hmm. So they, um, they pulled up all around them with their manure trucks and sprayed 'em with slurry, [00:12:00] which is a mixture of water and manure.

Joe: Oh.

DeJah: Now that's petty.

Oh goodness. You can you just hear like, in your mind, can you hear that French just, and you dig that,

Joe: the amount of planning that went into that too. Yeah, yeah.

DeJah: No, it was like they, were they all those farmers they got together? They were, they were like, no, we are all, we are Ko it. Yeah.

Joe: And not a single farmer was like, Hey

DeJah: guys,

Joe: this is a good plan.

Yeah. So here's one from Reddit. Over hear guys' thoughts on this one? Uh, a neighbor kept crushing my friends. Au timal. A timal. Tal. Thank you. Mm-hmm. Pumpkin display. In response, my friend the next day filled up all the pumpkins in the display with quick Crete. Oh yeah. That's a good idea. In turning it into an unmissable cement sculpture, the next morning, the jerks car axle was broken.

Brilliant. [00:13:00]

Jenn: Oh, that's such a sly. Like that person can't be liable for that. You know what I mean?

Joe: I feel like a judge would just laugh and be like, well, well, mm-hmm. I mean, you kept running over the pumpkins.

DeJah: Yep. Yeah. Um, there was a, there was a dude, uh, 'cause I love, listen, we're coming up on my favorite season.

I love fall. Mm-hmm. I used to love fall beers. I just, I can already smell my sweaters

Joe: chili

DeJah: season upon us. Yes. Right. Um, but there was this, there was a super cool dude, I can't remember, I think it was, uh, further south than us, but he had created this, uh, yard display with a bunch of skeletons, right? Mm-hmm. He'd have him doing fun, cool stuff, and people like complained and were assholes about it.

And then one day he got this like a letter from somebody that lived out in the country by him who would, a woman who would drive by on her way to her cancer treatments, his silly ass skeleton display. Right. Made [00:14:00] her happy. Aw. Brought her a little joy. So he just went balls to the walls. He just bought like shit tons more skeletons.

And he would pull up, put up these huge displays and like fully like read it was like all of the friends and sitting on the couch and like do the full thing and like all like he would do it so that every time she drove by Right. It made her smile. That's good petty. Yeah. Love that. You don't have an HOA fuck.

Yeah.

Yeah. Bring somebody some joy. Yeah, absolutely. And that's, heck yeah. I, I mean I'm not, I'm not against good petty, I'm not against, you know, petty, but that just seems like a lot of effort. I think pettiness just. It's giving a lot of people free rent. Right Home, free space.

Jenn: Yeah. Yeah. I could definitely see with like, you know, cheating or relationship stuff, how pettiness happens.

Yeah. All the time.

Joe: I think, I think most Karen situations end up being about pettiness too. [00:15:00] Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Or entitlement. Oh, yeah. Back. Very similar thing.

Jenn: Yeah. Mm-hmm. Yep. Yeah. I, you know, there's sometimes with my, I, well my bonus dad would say it would, it's to prove a point. Um, but there have been a couple, they live out in the sticks and, um, I, I think they drove into town and went to a cookout and something happened with the milkshake.

I don't know if the price, there was a price. I don't remember the exact story, so I'm kind of failing at this. But there was nothing wrong with the milkshake, but for whatever reason, or there was some coupon that he, that he had that they wouldn't use or some special whatever anyway, and the type of milkshake he got didn't apply to the special.

And until, you know, to this day, he has not been back to that cookout because they would not honor whatever it is that he would felt he was supposed to have. And I was just like, it's my ex-husband all over. But it's, I was like, but it, but it wasn't the person there. They were just following the rules. And he was like, but it's, it's a, it's a point of it all.

It's a prove a point. I'm like, okay, well that one milkshake that you're not getting from cookout, I don't [00:16:00] think is gonna make them go bankrupt. So,

Joe: hey, like prove a point is like a rational person trying to be like, but it's okay that I'm petty this time.

Jenn: Yeah,

Joe: yeah. Right. I'm proving a point.

Jenn: I think he did that with a pizza place too, that, that stopped delivering out to.

Their house, and I'm sure that they just didn't have the traffic. I wonder why. Right. I'm sure that they stopped delivering because there just wasn't the traffic out there. Absolutely no demand. Why would you? Yeah. Yeah. And so they stopped delivering and so then he stopped ordering from that pizza place out of principle.

Joe: Sorry, Papa John's. Yeah.

Jenn: Funny enough. That's exactly what, but you know what, I think he's actually returned to though too. I think that the pizza does happen, but, um,

Joe: better ingredients, better pizza. Not a sponsor. No, no, no. Absolutely not. Don't want, don't want that. Papa. I don't want that. Raised his

DeJah: shit up near me.

Joe: No, he doesn't own it anymore. Does he? I thought he got oted. Mm-hmm. Yeah.

DeJah: I thought he got, doesn't mean he's not still massively profiting,

Joe: pulling the papa strings. [00:17:00] Mm-hmm. From behind. Yeah. You're proud of yourself for

DeJah: that. Mm-hmm. Not enough

Joe: salt in the sauce. Mm-hmm.

DeJah: He's also one of those, like the South Park, Christy Nome, where the full pit crew comes in and just Botox fixes his face right back.

Fuck it up. Yeah. Yeah. South Park is doing it. Right. I am so glad that they had already had signed their, their contract mm-hmm. Before Trump had any influence over there, their deal for the next year. That shit's hilarious.

Jenn: I think this relates to what you were saying in the previous episode about, um, you know, being on something or someone being on a bite, bite and list.

Um, I think that like with, uh, comedy Central and, and with, um. Oh my gosh. Colbert. Well, no, but, uh, south Park. Oh, yeah. They keep up that satirical humor. Mm-hmm. Like no matter what, like Yeah. Who it's, you know, they poke fun at, at everything. And so the people that I'm like, it's South Park. South Park has been doing this since South Park became South Park.

Like this is not new news. And, [00:18:00] you know, just the fun in it. Snowflake

DeJah: snowflake's mad. Yeah, Snowflake's mad.

Jenn: Yeah. Yeah. I know. It'll be interesting. But speaking, speaking of, uh, Colbert one, I'm just very sad. I hope that some other network Oh, they will, picks him up. Like he's,

DeJah: he's their top writer. He, he makes them so much money.

Um, yeah, that was, that was a sacrifice for sale. A hundred percent. Yeah. Because financially it doesn't make any logical sense. No, no, no. But absolutely because that's, I love, and I love that he has this time till next year to just keep fucking with everybody. And I love it. He is like, when he does shit, when he is like, so Netflix, right?

Where

Jenn: he is like, wink, right. Like, yeah. Shit cracks. So, yeah. Yeah. But I, and I love the fire that it lit with other. Show host mm-hmm. To, to kind of go out on a limb and mm-hmm. You know, support him and Yeah. Because Trump

DeJah: outrights that on, um, not truth, social, uh, that, uh, yeah. He was, he was like, Fallon's gotta go and Kimmel's gotta go.

And he's, they're all, you know, and Sure. You know who's gotta [00:19:00] go. Mm-hmm. The Tangerine

Jenn: toddlers gotta go. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Him and Jerry Jones.

Joe: Oh my lord. Did you guys watch the reboot of King of the Hill yet?

Jenn: No.

Joe: No. I didn't even know there was a reboot. So they, they took like all that time off. And So it's Craig Daniels, right?

He wrote the Office. Yeah. It's a really well written show, and I don't know if you don't, if you're not a cartoon person, you're not gonna like it. It's a cartoon. I, I watched

DeJah: King of the Hill. Yeah. Yes. Mm-hmm. It's got

Joe: funny characters. It's well written. Mm-hmm. And they, they rebooted it, but they aged him up so the characters got older.

Oh. So Bobby's grown up, Bobby's like 26. Oh my God. He owns a restaurant shade. That's awesome. And, uh. They, they just came back into it and, um, it was, it was, uh, there was, there's a lot of really funny satire in, in King of the Hill. Mm. Oh, I bet that's been, uh, it's been

Jenn: pretty, is it still the same voices?

'cause I just can't imagine anybody else doing. A

Joe: lot of, a lot of people have passed away, but yeah. So those same woman that's voiced, Bobby is doing Old Bobby.

Jenn: Okay.

Joe: It still works. I mean, it still sounds like Bobby Hill. Um, but yeah, it's been, uh, it's a lot of [00:20:00] fun to Watch's.

Jenn: Is family guy still on? Mm-hmm.

Like news, I, I haven't watched it in forever, but I used to love Family Guy. I'm pretty sure it's still oncoming Simpson picking of cartoons. The Simpsons still kicking it 'cause man Oh, the Simpsons keep

DeJah: predicting the future.

Jenn: Yeah. Oh yeah. I've seen

DeJah: stuff about that too. I mean, holy shit, they really have prognosticate volumous amount of events, like, it's pretty, pretty crazy.

Jenn: Yeah. Oh, Simpsons, who's your favorite Simpson character?

Joe: Hallmark. I mean, I feel like it's obvious the show's about him, isn't it? I right. Yeah. Yeah.

Jenn: I was a fan of Sarah, I think, because she was like, isn't that the daughter?

DeJah: No,

Joe: Lisa.

Jenn: No, Lisa. Lisa. Shit. I was like, Sarah. Who? Sarah. Deep

DeJah: cut. I already even know this one.

Damn. I did. I was like, she was on one episode. 15 years in, they're like one

Jenn: random character. Damn. Lisa tells you how much I loved her. Um, she was my favorite, I think because she would become so [00:21:00] unhinged, but yet she tried to be also so like prim and proper. Oh. And so maybe I saw a little bit of myself in her.

Yes. But whenever she would become unhinged, I, it was great.

DeJah: Um, I, I really loved the, I loved the, the, the teacher and the principal that we're having an affair. Yeah. But she's like bitter. Yeah. A bitter alcoholic that smokes all the time. I, I don't know why, but that shit, every time cracked me up. Oh my goodness.

It's Haggard Simpson.

Jenn: Yeah. Is that where you see yourself in the future? Is that why? So I got

Joe: outta tj, so I wanted to look up when the Simpsons predicted the future Uhhuh. 'cause I think this is interesting. Mm-hmm. So in 2000 Bart to the future episode, season 11, episode 17, Trump was president. Yep. And so he became president six years later in 1993 in Springfield, spelled with a dollar sign about legalizing gambling.

Um, they predicted that the, the two [00:22:00] magicians that were parroting Sink, Finn and Roy got attacked by their own tigers. Mm-hmm. Oh, ma. Okay. That's right. Holy shit. And 10 years later, they were attacked by their own tigers. Uh, 1995, Lisa, in a future episode was wearing a smartwatch. Mm-hmm. And using it to make a phone call.

Uh, they predicted Disney would buy 20th Century Fox in 98. And in 2019 they did? Yep.

Jenn: Oh, and if anybody tells you Deadpool Will Uhhuh, Deadpool three Uhhuh

Joe: 2012, they predicted, uh, lady Gaga will do a halftime show and she did in 2017. Well, they keep going here. Nobody, they said Bent Holmstrom would win a Nobel Prize in 2010.

And he did in 2016. Um, they predicted the Oli break, Ebola breakout in, uh, 1997. And the breakout happened in 2 20 14, 20 16. Uh, I mean, this is a super long list. I don't even think it Oh, no's sad money.

DeJah: Matt Groan is like, yeah, he's got a crystal ball. [00:23:00] Wow. It's amazing. Yeah. Wow.

Joe: It just keeps going.

DeJah: And you know, it's super, that's another fun Halloween thing 'cause they always did really funny Halloween episodes.

Joe: Hmm.

DeJah: Yeah.

Joe: Why do you think people, because back to the, the topic we were talking about, why do you think people have such a hard time with satire? Like, is it just that certain people don't understand what satire is?

DeJah: Yes. And they take personal offense to everything.

Joe: Mm-hmm.

Jenn: Yeah.

DeJah: That's why, that's why people don't understand Gavin Newsom's press office releases, and they're so angry about that because they're taking it personally, that they're attacking that he's, how dare you attack the president?

It's so unbefitting of your office for fucking the guy in the same way at the highest office.

Joe: Yeah. Yeah. I get, yeah, yeah, yeah. So if you're not following the news, this is basically Gavin Nuso has been like tweeting in all caps in the same style as Trump and reposting, like AI generated versions of himself like that Trump did my favorite stuff

DeJah: like that.

My, which I, I [00:24:00] snorted. I full transparency guys. I almost peed. I laughed so hard out loud by myself. It is, it looks like a painting, right? AI generated painting, and it's SC Newsom. And in Guy Kid Rock laying hands on him praying. It's got the dead Angel of Hulk Hogan behind him, hands on praying. And on the other side is got Tucker Carlson hands

Joe: on praying.

Kevin, I think I saw that too.

DeJah: I died. I died. But then also the really funny ones, like this stupid shit where they like Jack up Trump. Right. And they make him look like he's fucking Arnold Schwarzenegger. Well they do that too with Gavin Newsom. Like, oh my gosh, forest fires behind him. Right. Just like Rambo style.

Just jack with a, a bench shovel. Like he's so like, oh my goodness. Just, oh yeah. It's all, it's all killing me. Trump puts out, I hate Taylor Swift. Gavin Newton's awesome. I hate kid Rock.[00:25:00]

Jenn: Yeah. I, I, I, I agree with Deja. I think people don't, people that don't like satire, they just don't get it. They don't get what it is, and they, they like take life way too seriously. I can't imagine they laugh a lot in life outside of even not understanding s feel it

Joe: gets getting worse. I feel like the only people that used to like rewind 15, 20 years ago, I feel like the only people that couldn't stomach satire were Christians.

Yeah. And now it's like, it's extended to everybody. Well, because,

DeJah: yeah, because they've been so desensitized to, uh. Satire is meant to be a, a whimsical way to poke fun at something, right?

Voicemail: Yeah.

DeJah: If you are just constantly inundated with it's okay to just fucking put people down, you shit talk. You call 'em names.

There's nothing funny about it. He's weak, he's sad, they're a pussy. They cry. All these grown men crying to me all the time about how terrible, you know, like everything is just so negative, negative, negative and hateful. There's no joke anywhere. Mm-hmm. Right. There's on the, [00:26:00] you go our side. Um, like there's, you find the comedians.

Yeah. Like, you know, it's really hard pressed to find comedians who are Republicans who aren't. Their humor is just put down their book, you know, blah, blah, blah. Hate, hate, hate. Or they aren't, aren't like

Jenn: super right wing.

DeJah: Right. You know what I mean? But I just think it's like, yeah, it's just a, a variance of like, okay, if you can no longer joke about anything because you're just so on edge all the time and fight or flight with hate or fear, you know, like, I, I think it has gotten worse.

I don't think that they can even read the room and identify satire because they're looking for negative. Right. They're looking immediately to cut it to, oh, this is just a hateful putdown and I have to defend whatever they, they just can't, they can't relax and just, it's a joke.

Jenn: Yeah. A terrible way to live.

Like, I, I, I feel like a large part of Sar Tire is sarcasm and that's how I just talk. Like, I, I don't know how to turn that button off. Mm-hmm. Um, a lot of [00:27:00] times. So I, I just can't imagine this would be such a dull, exhausting way to live. Oh, they're

DeJah: all gonna dive early heart attacks. That's my prediction.

Like heart. Listen, we already have really bad, bad rates of heart disease in this country. And now with RFK at the top just gutting everything that we know about healthcare in America. There's gonna be a medical reckoning. And then I'm hoping that like, uh, uh, maybe us in the younger generation, we'll still be able to have a laugh because we're, 'cause we're vaccinated.

Because we're vaccinated, right? Magically we don't have autism. Um, I'm, Hey guys, remember everyone? RFK Junior promised us the golden egg Oh yeah. Of what causes autism in September? Guess what? That's next month. Right around the corner all the time. This comes out, we'll be in September. So, so prepare yourself.

Buckle in. We're gonna get the revelation of a lifetime. Mm-hmm. All right, so what's your, what's your top

Joe: guess? What do you think it is?

Jenn: Oh, the cure for autism?

Joe: No. What [00:28:00] causes it?

Jenn: Oh, was like, what is it? Is it

Joe: red food color dye number six.

DeJah: It's just genetic inheritance.

Jenn: Yep. That's all. It's the same like mm-hmm.

It's like saying what causes down syndrome? It's,

Joe: I was, I was looking for a satirical answer. Oh, you

DeJah: know what it is? Rage bait clicking.

Joe: Rage Bait, bait. Yeah. There causes

DeJah: autism. Yeah. Hey, everybody, avoid rage. Click. Don't, don't do it. Causes autism.

Joe: Yep. Ugh. Yeah. I don't know. I think it's weird how sometimes I feel like staying with comedians like Chappelle and, and Seinfeld and the guys that have been doing it for a really long time just keep getting better and better.

Mm-hmm. But they keep catching more and more flack for doing the same thing they've been doing. For 30 years, like

DeJah: now there is, there's a, like a reverse to the super angry side. Then there's this super sensitive side, you know, and we, the left gets accused of being the super, super sensitive side that says like, you can't pick on anybody.

Joe: Yeah.

DeJah: Because we are all one people. Those are the [00:29:00] people that did way too much acid. I get it. Like we, you know, like I've never done acid, but um, everyone that I ever knew or ever saw that said they did it, you know, it's that like, oh, you realize that you're in communion with one, with everybody, with nature, with all people.

Right? Like, and so no, no one can pick on anybody. Okay

Joe: there.

DeJah: But that why of Sally. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's

Joe: funny because it's offensive and stupid. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. And those guys that I'm talking about, like the guys that are doing like the high level standup, they know that Absolutely. Like they're not, they're not up there preaching a sermon sermon.

But also they, they

DeJah: know, they know the balance. 'cause I love a comedy show. We've been in quite a few together. Mm-hmm. I've been going as long as they've legally let me in and, and even before then, hey, I tried. Um, but they, it's a balance. It's a balance that you gotta pick on everybody. Yeah. As long as you pick on everybody, it's fun, right?

Mm-hmm. Because then we are all together in it. 'cause we are all somehow sucking in this line of joke. Right? Yeah. Well, so we all suck sometimes. So it's cool.

Jenn: We are together, like, yeah. Yeah. And, and, um, in fact, I [00:30:00] was watching a clip, um, Matt, it's Matt Rife, right? I said that's her rife. Mm-hmm. So he was at a show and there was a, a lady who was, um, she was in a wheelchair and obviously, I don't know exactly what was.

Going on in her life. Um, but he came down and like hopped off the stage and ended up like giving her like the jersey that he was wearing and signing and stuff. And she was just like enamored by it all, but before that part of his bit and he, he roped in like handicapped individuals. Um, it specifically like, because he was chatting with her and the person that she was, well she wasn't chatting with her 'cause she couldn't really talk.

But anyway, um, and at the end she thanked him for like, she was like, thanks for not leaving out, like people that are in wheelchairs or have, you know, other handicap ailments and things like that. He was like, she said, thanks for making fun of us too. I was just like, you know what? That's, I mean, to your point of like, you make fun of everything.

Yep. You know?

Joe: Yeah. And I think that's, maybe that's part of it too. 'cause sometimes there's not a balance. Like not everybody will make fun of everybody. Mm-hmm. They do seem to have an agenda and that does get [00:31:00] tiring. It doesn't feel, which is, which is where

DeJah: I'm gonna circle back to the difference between their, the comedians.

You find them more on the big D side, right? Like. And you get your map, your brewers on the, there's not very many right. Comics like, or at least, and if they are, they're, it's all fucking hate humor. And it's all just, eh, they're stupid. 'cause they do that, right? It's like, man, I bet Jeff Worth, um, Foxworthy is offended like all the time.

He's like, you guys stole my market and you turn them bad. Like Yeah. 'cause his humor was hilarious. Right. Self deprecating, funny about everybody, you know, and now it's just their demographic is just nah. Like hate. I bet they hate, hate, hate mad,

Joe: mad, mad. I bet if there are popular comedians that lean right in their political thinking, they smartly don't bring it up.

Mm-hmm. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Yeah, because that's just like a, even, even ones room situation. Because listen, I

DeJah: get it. A lot of people, and I've talked to people who told me, they're like, I voted for my [00:32:00] self-interest. They thought that they were gonna financially benefit and yeah, if you make. Millions. Millions that, you know, like, I don't think most people understand like how money is financially brackets are broken down in our country.

If you make more than a hundred thousand dollars, if you, if you break breach the six figures, you're in the top 10%. So that means everyone else, which is, you know, literally 90% of the populace makes under that which I get so that if you, you're voting for yourself interest 'cause you're a comic that makes a lot of money, you're up in that higher tax bracket.

Okay, I get it. 'cause then your, your audience is the people in that 90%. Yeah. So yeah, you gotta hit your target market. Mm-hmm. But it is. That's just something I don't think that people understand in our country. Just really how disparaging it is for the people that you're voting to [00:33:00] support and give all the tax breaks to.

Like, it ain't you brother. No, it ain't you. It ain't me. Like who? Huh? Yeah. So yeah, at some point you do have to, uh, yeah. The joke is okay to be on you, to be on everybody as long as it's a joke and not a put down. I think that's the difference in satire. Satire is smart writing, right? Yeah. Satire is smart.

It's about wit and about finding something that everybody identifies with if you're able to still see humor in life.

Joe: Yeah. I do think there are some comedians though, that I watch that are less satire and more just like Shock comics. Mm-hmm. Which is still a form of comedy. Mm-hmm. It's not my favorite, not my bag.

DeJah: Yeah. Man, I like smart, but I think that God, Godfrey is one of my favorite comics of all.

Joe: I don't know. Who's that? What's his first name? Godfrey.

DeJah: That's just his Godfrey. Oh. Well then, I don't know. Oh, look him up. He's one. Delicious. I was like Gilbert Godfrey? No, the, the parrot [00:34:00] from added? No, no, no. He's been around for a long time.

He's out of new, um, he's out of New York, but he's been a lot of 90. You'll see him and you'll go, oh, yeah. Okay. Yeah. But, um, he's, he's great at that, that picking at everybody, but also like,

Joe: yeah. I think my favorite kind of standup comedian is, is absurdist. You guys remember Mitch Headroom? Was Hedberg?

Hedberg? Yes. Maybe RIP.

Jenn: Yes. He had man rip that shit most random was rage. Like, and none of his shit, like with, there wasn't a story, you know, like some comics do a great job of like telling different stories, but wrapping 'em all together, Mitch was just rapid fire. None of 'em made sense. Like rice is really good.

And you were there with him want 1000 of something like Right.

DeJah: Because you would just hang on his everywhere. Mm-hmm. Then like yeah, he, he was great. Yep. God, miss him. Miss him. I like the, uh,

Joe: I took a donut back joke because it had a hole in it.

DeJah: Yes. Like his

Joe: delivery was just fantastic. 'cause I had my receipt, you know, like how we just like punctuate everything.

DeJah: [00:35:00] Yes. But also it's the full presentation too. Like, you know, when you see him and he is all wrapped up. You know, and long hair. So serious looking like Absolutely. Like John Lennon, like sunglasses on. Yeah man, he was good. Oh, I'm gonna have to go back and watch him. Speaking of

Joe: funniest satire, I saw it must've got resurfaced or something.

'cause everybody's so into seeing if everybody's gonna get mad about something. But there was this clip of, uh, Robin Williams doing like seven, eight minutes on Trump back when he was just a landlord. Yep.

DeJah: Oh really, really funny. Oh yeah. There's lots of, lots of footage of people tearing Trump apart back in the eighties, the nineties, like, yeah.

Yeah. And it was, it's funny 'cause Saturday Night Live used to just eat him alive. So many Saturday Night Live comedians, there's so many bits about him just getting eaten up, man. Yeah.

Joe: Saturday Night live's a great example of smart writing. Yes. I liked it when they, uh, when Trump won again and they did like the cold open, but it was all serious and they real stayed and they, and they were like talking about like how serious everything was and how everything's changing guys.

And we gotta be really, and that's why we've always been on President Trump so much. Yep. They just sit down one by one. Yeah.

DeJah: We've always been thinking

Joe: that.

Jenn: Oh [00:36:00] yes, they pulled the Joe Scars broke. Got it. Got it. Yeah. Well now I wanna go to a comedy show. Mm-hmm.

DeJah: Yeah.

Jenn: We absolutely, I love another, I mean like Deja mentioned smart comedy and I think someone that does smart comedy so well is Eliza Schlesinger.

Mm-hmm. The way that she delivers because she, you can very. Easily tell that she is very informed of what everything that she's talking about and the, the speed with which she delivers shit. And it's so relatable and just hilarious. And she, I mean, it's just, I love her. Mm-hmm. You know, she is very, very funny.

She's fantastic. Yeah. Um, and she brings a lot light to issues, you know, a lot of women, but she talks about dating and she talks about weddings and how absurd they are and like, you know, traditions and all that kind of stuff. Mm-hmm. It's, she's, yeah, she's now, she's a mom. So she's talked about that in her most recent standup, but she's got like five,

Joe: mm-hmm.

Jenn: Five or six specials on Netflix.

Joe: I think the last one I saw was elder millennial. I remember thinking, I don't remember much about it, but I think I thought it was great. That's the

Jenn: one that got me. Checked into her and then I went back and [00:37:00] watched the other ones and then have seen all the ones since.

Joe: Do you guys think that goofball comedy can make a comeback?

I've always been an Adam Sandler fan and I loved Happy Gilmore too, and now they're rebooting Naked Gun.

Jenn: I did see that with Liam Mason. I'm very, because he is always in such a, like, serious role, right? I'm excited to see him in a goofball role. Look, so I am much more is coming

DeJah: back. I think that, um, the style of Yeah, so like airplane, yes.

Right? That, that's, it's more in the, more in the vein of the SNL higher level writing. Right? Airplane is just, I think Adam Sandler stuff. Joke, joke, joke, joke. And I think that's the same with Naked Gun. It's yes. That you to, you have to get so many different social cues from, you have to be like, to pick up on all the jokes over Happy Gilmore.

I think those are a little bit m like no shade on. Sandler. Little, little smarter. Are you offended, Joe? But yeah, that's a little more my, I would absolutely go see Naked Gun before I'd go see Happy [00:38:00] Gilmore Tour, which is already streaming, but, yeah.

Jenn: Well, I didn't go to theater was Oh, didn't, yeah, it was Netflix.

Oh, okay. Okay. Straight to Netflix. Straight to Netflix. Got it. Got it. Instead,

Joe: like straight to VHS. Used to be straight to, is that a sign of failure or is that good nowadays straight to Netflix?

Jenn: I think Netflix is good because you got like straight to prime like videos that are, make movies that are prime movies.

Yeah. And there's

DeJah: some good ones, but you gotta question whether or not they're making the box office money off of Netflix

Joe: versus I think so, because I thought the reboot of Roadhouse with Jake Gyllenhal. Uhhuh was fantastic. It was good. And I heard they lost money.

Jenn: Mm-hmm. Dude, Jake Gyllenhaal, woo. Mm-hmm.

You could tell he went to the, he found the gym a time or two. Well see that that's gonna made like, yeah, I'm

Joe: doing crunches while I'm watching this movie. I'm like, yeah.

DeJah: Now why I feel

Joe: bad about myself.

DeJah: If you're, if you're gonna redo something that is perfect, you better expect to be criticized. Because listen.

Oh yeah. Bow down to the fucking God. That is Swayze. Yeah, dude, look, that dude's body

Jenn: was also Well, yes, but not like Jake's. I I've love some Patrick Swayze, but [00:39:00] listen,

DeJah: Jake ain't got the flexibility that Patrick Swayze's yoga ass did. Well, Patrick Swayze got all flexibility 'cause he was a professional dancer.

He is also yogi. Yeah, he was also, he was so like different set of muscle. However, I'm just saying that criticism I think was due, I didn't, I didn't like, I didn't like Roadhouse two nearly as much as, but I'm also a huge roadhouse. I the first roadhouse, I've probably seen that movie 42 times,

Jenn: give

DeJah: or take roughly exactly.

42 times. Yeah. But, um, and, and it's the same as like the remaking, all remaking hap all the, the Happy Go remake anything you remake. The risk when there's so too big fan base. Yeah. Remake

Joe: is different. So Happy Gilmore too, was slightly different in that it was a continuation of the dumb story. Yeah. Mm-hmm.

Yeah. And it just was like, you knew what to expect. His whole life was dumb. I thought it was great that Julie Bowen, was that her name?

DeJah: Yes. That she, they kept the original. She's fantastic. She was the wife.

Joe: And spoiler alert, pause it if [00:40:00] you're gonna get mad about this, but she was second billing on IMDB, and I'm like, oh, they got Julie Bowen to come back.

Is it Bowen Bowden? I don't know. Yeah. I'm sorry. And you're not listening. The um, and she got killed in the first, like two minutes of the movie. Just terribly. Just he, uh, yeah, that sounds right. Yeah. Yeah. He killed her. Yeah. With a, with he hit a golf fighter. Knocked her in the head. Oh, good Lord.

Jenn: Get out. Oh my God.

I heard there were a lot of cameos. Oh yeah. I haven't seen it yet either. Kelsey was in it. Travis Kelsey. Oh yeah. He, he was a waiter. Bad Bunny was in it too, wasn't it? Bad Bunny was in it a lot. Bad Bunny's in everything.

Joe: He was the new guy. That dude just

Jenn: pops home.

Joe: And I liked what he did too. Anytime somebody died since the original, 'cause it was 20 years old, he cast their kids Ah.

To come back and, and be the, the kid of the person. Yep. So, but everybody, except for the guy that was, remember in Happy Gilmore, the original, where when Happy would he'd try to mess him up and he'd be like, jackass. Mm-hmm. Remember that guy? Mm-hmm. Yeah. So that was played by [00:41:00] Eminem in this one.

DeJah: Oh my Lord. Okay. That would make it funny just to see who's the re Yeah. The new replacement character. Like,

Jenn: is there a movie or

DeJah: the second generation character? Right. Right.

Jenn: So this makes me think like, is there a movie, like a, a remake of a movie? So not like a sequel or continuation. Mm-hmm. But is there a remake that you feel is better than the original?

Joe: I don't know. I was just thinking that like, I feel like I was about to say like, I feel like remakes are always, always a bad idea. Mm-hmm. So I know Christopher Columbus, they're, they're talking about remaking Home Alone, original. And he's like, no, you're gonna ruin it. Yeah. And he makes a lot of sense.

Yeah. Mm-hmm. But then they remake Batman every couple years and I like it.

Jenn: I don't know. Well, maybe 'cause of, I don't know. That's superheroes. I think, um, one that's done it well and has done it more than one remake is A star is born Okay. With, you know, the different 'cause. And I, to be completely honest, when I went and saw that the, the most recent one with Bradley Cooper and Lady [00:42:00] Gaga, um, I didn't know that there were earlier versions.

Oh. And so I had no idea. Showed up. Barbara, what, what was Barbara Stre saying? Happening? So I'm like a babbling idiot crying in the theater with my mom watching this movie. And she was like, oh, well I kind of knew it was coming because of the other one. And I was like, wait, there are more. 'cause you had Kris Kristofferson with Uhhuh.

Barbara, which, yeah. And then the, that was the, the first remake. Yeah. Right. I forget who was in the actual original. I guess you

Joe: can put all superheroes in like CONT franchise. They're no, they're not remakes. Yeah. But

DeJah: Bat Batman falls into its own bag, I feel like. 'cause what, what other, what other superhero, what other movie has there been that one character redone that many times?

Joe: Superman.

DeJah: Oh yeah, you're right. Yeah. Yeah. And

Joe: Superman just made the same amount of money that Ironman did when it came out. So that's the Rebo, the new Superman. Oh no,

DeJah: the woke Superman still made money. Woke didn't make him go broke.

Joe: I saw that article and I watched the [00:43:00] movie and I was like. There's no truth in any of this.

They will, oh, my Superman, God. Like if you, if you're thinking, oh no, if say as

DeJah: a Sydney Sweeney fucking, they're like, they were losing their minds. Literally know what he did. I love Sydney thing. Literally, nobody lost their mind. I thing because

Joe: it just seemed like the most made up from both sides thing.

And then the gene company's just laughing to the bank. Yep. It's like, we're so offended. She said Jeans. It was in the context of talking about her literal genes, jeans, people. Yeah. Yeah. It was a pun.

DeJah: Yeah. But no, the thing is that wasn't even, it didn't even come out of anything. No. There's like three people on the internet that said something and the right went the entire Democratic party in an uproar of Sweeney's jeans.

It's like, no. So in the Superman

Joe: movie, I, I, I watched it with my daughter and I tried to be like, okay, what were they upset about? So the Superman movie, he fights superheroes, bad guys. He fights 'em. Um, there was a Trump-like character, but it wasn't Trump. It was a different country. Um, and it was just like a regular movie, bad guy.

It wasn't like [00:44:00] nothing in it felt pointed political. Uh, Superman came to the defense of, uh, refugees, which is in line with Superman's character Yeah. Is doing the right thing because they were being oppressed by a dictator. And again, this wasn't even America. I don't know what people were, I really don't see the connection where people are like, Hey, it's woke Superman.

If you could, if you could call in, let us know. Yeah.

DeJah: I'm gonna, I'm also, I'm gonna watch it. Just to try to figure out what, what is the back thing? What was the like excessively liberal action taken that caused, what does the,

Jenn: uh, what is it on, what platform is it on?

Joe: It's

Jenn: not

Joe: out yet, but it'll come on HBO Max when it comes out.

'cause they have all PC stuff,

Jenn: I think. Okay. I was gonna say, but I think you must be able to maybe rent it because Yes. You can rent it and buy it. Yep. Mm-hmm.

Joe: So you can rent it on the platforms now. But

Jenn: again, yeah. Just hate, hate, hate.

Joe: Ugh. Yeah. And again, it's a superhero movie, man. It's not real. It's not a commentary.

I mean, maybe it was maybe the person who wrote it, that was their intent. [00:45:00] Who, who cares? Yeah.

DeJah: Yeah. I don't know. Can then don't go watch it. Yeah. Like, gosh. Yeah. It's Superman, it's relax.

[00:46:00]

Jenn: You know what? We have a voicemail. Oh yeah, we have a voicemail. Figured I should probably re I'm glad I remember that before we got

Joe: in this edition of rambling.

Yes. Right. We've made, by the way, all the way through the episode, we do

Jenn: have a voicemail.

Joe: Here it comes.

Voicemail: Voice. Action. Hey Jen, it's me la I just wanted to give you a suggestion. How would the world, or like governments and families, how would, how would we as humans react to superpowered humans or supernatural beings such as werewolves, vampires, and others?

Or how would we react to people who have other abilities like actual superhero powers from movies?

DeJah: Thank you.

Jenn: We would call them woke

DeJah: and we'd put them in concentration camps.

Jenn: Uh, that is a fun question. First of all. Oh, my heart. Thank you. My la Thank you. Um, how timely too. Yeah, man,

DeJah: he's somehow [00:47:00] new. He's is he for the Simpsons?

Yeah. Right. Doubt. Doubt.

Jenn: You know, I think that's How would we treat, I, I think it, I think how it's depicted in the movies, we still don't treat people that are real and in the most ways, similar to us with some different differences. We still don't treat them equal or accept them. Yeah. So I think we would be the same way with people with Supernatural.

The Symmatic world,

DeJah: um, shows that time and time again. There's been plenty of shows that have come out where, you know, humans evolve, you know, somehow some, you know, abilities, whatever. And it's always a negative response because it's a, becomes an us versus them. Mm-hmm. An unknown. Mm-hmm. Yep. Fear, fear, fear, fear, fear, fear, fear.

I don't know. Sorry, Ellie, I wish I had, wish I had a positive answer for you, honey.

Jenn: And there's obviously the, the power struggle of it. Mm-hmm. Because if, if I, it would be a hard pill to swallow of like, you have these abilities that could make me not exist very easily. Mm-hmm. And [00:48:00] how do I trust you? You, I'm trying to think, I'm

DeJah: trying to think of the name of the show.

Um, I'm pretty sure it came outta Britain, but, um, it was where it was again through evolution, but it was only women and the power dynamic of that, of literally like a, like dictators, right? Like having to deal with, uh, with female uprising. And then of course, just like the genocide, like the men just went to like, well, we'll just, yeah.

Yeah. I've not seen that. That sounds very depressing. Well, it's very, I mean, it was, it's very well written. Yeah. But yeah, I mean, it is. It's harsh, but it's done in a very, like they all of a sudden you have lightning come outta your hands and you just killed your family. Like, you know, like legitimate how, how it would be if all of a sudden you spontaneously had supernatural powers.

Had supernatural powers. Yeah. So that, from that aspect, that was fascinating. Get into it and then you realized, oh yeah, the p just between father and daughter, you know, do, do as I tell you to do. Mm-hmm. Oh, [00:49:00] I can turn you into dust.

So, yeah. Yeah. I mean, 'cause that is, that is ultimately what it would be. It would be a, it would be a, well I

Jenn: fear

DeJah: you, you have more power

Jenn: to, like you said, yeah. People in general, and then especially with governments, one, they're gonna wanna know how they can tax it. How can I tax your abilities? Um, I was gonna say, how

DeJah: can they weaponize it?

Yeah. But you know, also that. Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Jenn: Mm-hmm. So I.

DeJah: And there, there's, gosh, there's so many. I, I don't think it's sense Sense eight anyway. Um, one where it's, they have applicable skills like welding, like they're really, you know, you lift things for construction, like, you know, like, and, and there's still like tracked and like hunt and monitored and Yeah.

I think of that

Joe: Bradley Cooper movie Limitless. Mm. I think, I think that's the, actually the most likely to happen, right? If we do figure out this AI brain implant thing. Mm. People's IQs are gonna go way up and that there's going to be people [00:50:00] without it that feel like they shouldn't have it. Mm-hmm. And I think just like we're talking about with all this stuff, I don't see it going super well.

Yeah. Because it's, everything seems to be about haves and have nots. Yep. Victims and vic, uh, victims and, uh, who, who takes advantage of victims. Why can't I think of the word

Jenn: My mind went perpetrator, but I know An abuser or predator. Yeah, exactly. Yeah.

Joe: I mean, that seems to be how. We're so binary right now in our thinking.

Mm-hmm. Like, we wanna put, we wanna put stuff in that category. Who's the victim? Who's the perpetrator? Who's the, who's

DeJah: to blame?

Joe: Who's the press?

DeJah: Well, 'cause we're, we're so conditioned to be outraged all the time. 'cause that's what for, you know, a decade, literally. It's just been, we all have to scream everything.

Everything is at I turned down.

Joe: Yeah. Do you guys think, uh, how do you think it would go for aliens? Oof. They're already here. Should ask them. I was literally gonna say, let's ask them how it's going. So I saw this on the internet, so who knows, but it was apparently looked legit. Fact, check me everybody. The idea was [00:51:00] they used the Hubble telescope and found a planet with a light grid and it's really far away.

Mm-hmm. And I learned about it all on my wife's funny reels. And it was like, and then it cut to a guy and he is like, Hmm. Did he say anything about the price of living situation?

DeJah: Right. No doubt. No doubt. Um, gosh, what, uh. Trying to think. There was, uh, another, I'm just losing all the names of this, the series I was just flipping through last night as I was exhausted at 9:00 PM Yeah.

But there was, um, where the premise of the show was that they had, starting back in the sixties, been trying to push signal right out into the cosmos to try to get a response. And a station in China figures out you've gotta refract it off of the sun in order to get the distance to get anywhere where there might be somebody.

Right? And um, they respond [00:52:00] and they're like, you are very lucky. I'm a pacifist. I have interceded this message and do not respond. If you respond, they'll come kill you. Do not respond. Well, premise of the story is the person that did this, did not listen, is an, is an oppressed woman in communist China who's had everyone in her family murdered in front of her, and she's like.

Bring it on.

That was, that was where I left my, uh, my evening last night. Gosh, I'm trying to remember what that is. Wow. But it was, it was, we watched very different things. Very well written. Very well written like Yeah. The historical accuracy. I love that stuff when it's, when I'm like, yeah, that's, that's true. That was happening then.

That was, yeah. They were president then. They were, yeah.

Joe: Yeah. I feel like to answer the question, it would be bad for a long time and then get slightly better maybe. Yeah, no doubt.

Jenn: Yeah. I, I wish we had a happier, more, more, yeah. Optimistic response for you, buddy. But I do,

DeJah: so here's our [00:53:00] response. Let's pray for aliens,

Jenn: because thoughts and prayers work.

We know that thoughts and prayers, they do it all. They do it all.

Joe: Um, I do think, I'm thinking about like racism and, and that's kind of super dumb because it's comparing, it's literally comparing like apples to different colored apples. Correct, correct.

DeJah: Ethnocentrism is fascinating.

Joe: Whereas, so I wonder if it would be better or worse if it was.

Something that's actually different, like superpowers, for example. Mm-hmm. Maybe it wouldn't be like racism. Maybe it would be like they fictionalized in Superman. Everybody's like, yay, Superman. Thank you for

DeJah: saving on, but that's just 'cause there's one. They can idolize him. That's idol idolizes. If

Jenn: there were

DeJah: 20 Superman That's right.

Jenn: They can think he's, they can idolize him. Idolize. That's Superman. Thank you. I was like, I've never heard these words. You're saying we hate that general eye. I would, I would like to

DeJah: welcome little trees, sponsor us the hemp infused sparkling water out a foothills.

Jenn: Um, what a perfect topic for that show.

Yes. It's fascinating. Fascinating. And [00:54:00] I, I guess I would say offer a motivational piece of be the person that you would want to be. Yes.

DeJah: Be the model

Jenn: that you wanna

DeJah: see in the world. If

Jenn: you did come across a supernatural being, um, and you know, wanted being welcoming and trying to understand and learn as opposed to hate.

Oh, absolutely. That's the only way would ever change every

DeJah: child show, every show where there's a child and there's an alien and the child finds the alien. I'm like, that would've been me. Yeah. I absolutely been the one hiding him in my closet. Like feeding him,

Joe: trying to talk to him and learning. So you're describing percent a hundred,

DeJah: but there are like multiple, like, yeah, okay.

They came down, the kid finds it in the alley, you know? Same premise. Yeah. Yep. Mm-hmm. There was,

Joe: uh, in the nineties when I was growing up watching cartoons. That was my nineties cartoons, uh, that X-Men came out. Mm-hmm. And that was just, it was clearly about racism. Mm-hmm. Like, uh, but I felt like it was good messaging for kids.

Like, oh, they're just, they're just different. Yes. It's okay. Mm-hmm. Yeah. And then the bad guys are trying to imprison 'em and blah, blah, blah. So, I don't know. I wonder if they, if it was different [00:55:00] enough, if maybe we wouldn't see the good side of humanity. Maybe we'll be optimistic, maybe not. Yeah.

DeJah: Fingers crossed. For an

Joe: alien force to unite us as

DeJah: one, like

Joe: unite us as against a common enemy. Yes. Yes.

Jenn: Yep. Yeah. Are we living in Independence Day right now? Hell, it depends on doubt. The superpowers such a good movie. Yeah. If they were

Joe: really dumb superpowers, like, I'm sorry, vampire. I need to draw blood to keep living.

Yeah. We're not gonna be fans. No. Okay. That's a predator. If we're, if they're superpowers like super good at, you know, I can. Change the color of things. Mm-hmm. But yeah.

DeJah: All right. I'm okay with that. Yeah. Yeah. I can eliminate the onions from your soup.

Jenn: I like onions in my soup cereal. Sorry.

DeJah: Nope. This is my skill.

Jenn: I have to use it. Onions be gone. [00:56:00]

Joe: I have to use my gifting. Yes, that's right. That's right. That's otherwise, that's right. Otherwise, I'm not operating in my superpower. That's the thing. People say, yes. Operating in my superpower matter what it's, who says that?

Yeah. Isn't that like a thing that people say like, not that I must heard. You're really good at something. They're like, that's my superpower. Oh. Oh, was it zone of genius? I meant to say Zone of genius, and I said superpower. Neither.

Jenn: Have you heard that other, but mm-hmm. Zone of Genius. I'm gonna try to start using that now though.

I'm, I'm,

DeJah: I'm actually gonna, I think that needs to be the sign on top of my office door.

Jenn: Zone of genius,

DeJah: some construction comes out. Yep, yep. But I,

Jenn: you're entering the zone of genius. Zone of genius. Closed toed shoes required.

Well, thank you for that question. And, um, the heart behind it, and it may be one day, that's why we're we all still, well not all of us, but the cool people mm-hmm. Strive for that, that unity and acceptance and [00:57:00] safety and all that comes with accepting someone that may be a little different than you.

DeJah: Um, because that's where growth and intelligence comes from, is the unknown.

Yep. Yep.

Joe: That's what made that movie, uh, Mars Attack. You guys remember that one? Yes. Yeah. Man, I love the premise of that movie because the premise of that movie was like, no, we're good. We're gonna treat 'em nice. And then they were really here to kill us. Yeah. Yep.

Jenn: Mm-hmm.

Joe: Yeah. That's so funny. So funny.

Jenn: Listen, except people at your own risk,
