Last name rhymes with duty.
1:38
How are you feeling just, Mr Monetti? Oh

1:47
so I'm happy. Everything's good,
1:49
bro, alright good so so so.
1:51
So what we're gonna do on this podcast is
1:53
we're gonna have a guest calling from
1:56
a political columnist. Uh
1:58
person that's that's heavy the political world. Name
2:00
as Eli Lake. He's worked for The
2:03
Daily Beast, CNN, c SPAN,
2:05
he's all up in there. We're gonna have him come on and
2:07
try to explain some things to us. What
2:09
the fund is, Brexit, what's the deal
2:11
with d Trump? Uh, some
2:13
things like that. Um, and then
2:15
me and Moody, we're gonna do what we do. It's the Iron Rapports
2:18
stereo podcast. People are now calling
2:20
it a therapeutic podcast, which
2:23
I believe is true. That was never our intentions.
2:25
But uh, I would say that this this
2:27
podcast can be therapeutic. Um,
2:31
both physically and mental mentally
2:34
therapeutic. Um. You
2:36
want to give a shout out to to some something,
2:38
you know, we've gotten some you know, we asked for reviews
2:40
on on on iTunes and and the
2:42
people who have uh have answered.
2:45
Uh some of the reviews on iTunes or
2:48
they almost bring a tear to my eye. Uh
2:50
so so so flattering. Um.
2:53
Uh what was the one you were telling me about
2:55
Jimonettie? Uh
2:57
the guy are you talking about? The guy Chris
3:00
Slano? Yes, yeah, I read
3:02
his thing. He said, uh, he just got
3:04
married, you know, and he said his wife
3:07
he's not spending any time at home and he's basically
3:10
treated him like ship. Those were his words,
3:14
you know. So he says she got the diamond ring
3:16
and the big wedding and the real person
3:19
came out. Ah and uh, and he's
3:21
been kind of depressed, but then he heard our
3:24
you know, the podcast, and
3:26
then his his mental state improved
3:29
so much so he was given us
3:31
thanks. And we want to say, hold
3:34
your head. You got
3:36
groomed and you got
3:38
played, because there's no reason that
3:41
woman ain't supposed to be with you after marriage.
3:44
She shouldn't be out and about doing
3:46
all kinds of foolishness. Yeah, and
3:48
and just say, you know, uh, this doesn't
3:50
just happen to men. Obviously, women
3:52
get shipped on too. So this particular
3:55
guy was a man who reached out to us. So we're
3:57
by no means saying that women ain't ship because
3:59
a lot of guys and we're two full ship
4:01
bags from my dog Wheezy. But but this
4:03
particular guy, his words and the way he
4:05
articulating himself meant a lot um
4:08
And we appreciate that the podcast means
4:10
something to you. Um, we've
4:12
been down that road. I've been fucked
4:15
uh and and beaten down.
4:17
And the only thing I can say about being being having
4:19
your heartbroken essentially it means you have your heartbroken,
4:22
um, is that it gets better over time.
4:25
Uh, don't try to drink away your pain.
4:28
Uh. In the immortal words of Tupac, don't
4:30
try to smoke away your pain. I
4:32
think Tupac also talked about that, UM.
4:35
Uh, you know you just got time. Time heals
4:37
everything. Um, you might want to get yourself
4:40
a side piece uh in the meantime because
4:42
if your if your wife is out frolicking around,
4:44
you might want to get yourself a little side piece. Um.
4:46
The code work for a side piece is uh,
4:48
macaronian cheese, you know, because macaron cheese
4:51
is always a side because you can be like, oh, I want some steak
4:53
and some macaronian cheese. So you might want to get
4:55
yourself some macaroni and cheese. Um. But
4:58
we appreciate the reviews and the support.
5:01
UM, let's just jump into this. So,
5:03
so last week we talked about Derrick
5:05
Rose coming to New York on
5:08
the Iron rap coor Stereo podcast, and we talked about
5:10
how we love him and we think he's great.
5:13
And you know, the big thing with Derrick
5:15
Rose, everybody has said at the consensus is out.
5:17
It's the if I don't I'm not concerned
5:19
about his effort. I know it's a contract
5:22
year, so so the effort will definitely
5:24
be there. I'm not concerned about his talent. It's
5:26
the if he's healthy. If he's
5:28
healthy, um, So we don't need to go into how
5:31
we feel about the trade. I think it's a good trade. We got rid
5:33
of Jose Calderon. Um
5:35
who didn't he come into the league when he was fifty
5:37
six? Or is that Pablo pon uh?
5:42
Given all these guys, man, he's right.
5:44
We we got rid of Pablo Prigioni
5:46
with the Clippers. We got rid of Called Calderon,
5:49
Jerry and Grant. I think has a future, but he needs to
5:51
develop because he came into the league when he was like fifteen,
5:54
I believe, and it was I think the upside,
5:56
the potential upside, is better. Here's
5:59
the deal with Derrick Rowle. You you
6:01
came to the press conference last week
6:04
in front of the first time as a New York nick
6:06
and in front of the New York City, the New York Press
6:08
for the first time as a New York nick and
6:11
you looked like ship duke.
6:15
We saw you and and and
6:17
and let me tell you something. We've been through enough. We've
6:20
been through the finger roll with
6:22
Pat Ewing, We've been through the Bernard
6:24
King injuries. We've been through the Reggie
6:27
Miller, We've been through these Isaiah
6:29
Thomas years. We've been through too
6:31
much. Okay, we bring
6:33
you here with some sliver
6:36
and glimmer of hope. And you
6:38
show up to the first press conference
6:41
wearing a New York Knicks golf
6:43
jersey and your hair looking
6:45
like you you you you escaped
6:47
a method on clinic. How dare
6:50
you? How dare you show
6:52
up to a press conference with just ship beaten
6:55
down, matted like a fucking
6:58
sponge you wouldn't keep in your house. You
7:00
look crazy, de Rose, And we love
7:02
you, I love you, I funk
7:04
with you. Okay, but
7:07
you look crazy. Okay, So so what
7:09
we're offering to you is
7:11
a gift certificate to
7:13
Sam Gore, the barbershop on a hundred forty
7:16
street, Okay, up in Harlem. First of all, you
7:18
can negratiate yourself with the people
7:20
of Harlem people in New York City. Go up
7:22
there and tell Sam Gore and them to fix
7:24
your wig piece. Duke coming
7:26
to New York being the point guard and Knicks is
7:29
a big thing, man. And when you step
7:32
out there for press conference,
7:34
you gotta look sharp, not like you
7:36
rolled out of bed, not like you
7:38
came out of a homeless shelter. You
7:41
look like I'm the point guard of the New
7:43
York Knicks exactly, Walt
7:45
Frasier, Mark Jackson, Earl
7:48
the Pearl. There, they're
7:51
Rod Strickland. There's a long list
7:53
of people that came before you. You're not in shy
7:55
rack no more, my man. Don't show
7:57
up to the press conference and a fuck
8:00
up New York Knicks golf shirt and
8:02
your hair looking crazy, man,
8:04
and you know what you're gonna have to do. I think there's there's
8:06
real damage. I don't think this guy has combed his hair
8:09
since the offseason. He's he's gonna
8:11
have to get a bald head and start from scratch. He
8:13
looked crazy. I felt like it was disrespectful
8:16
for to the Knicks and to the New York City
8:19
press, like the de ros. I know you're not
8:21
gonna be missed the personality, and I don't care about
8:23
that. You know, we we we I think you're a
8:25
shy dude, and I have no problem with that. You
8:28
you let your game do the talking when
8:30
you're not uh injured.
8:32
I don't need Mr. Personality. I
8:35
don't care about Mr Personality. I
8:37
don't care about Mr tongue in cheeks jokes. I
8:39
don't need any knock knock jokes. But at
8:42
least the first time you show up, show
8:45
up looking halfway decent, you
8:47
looked fucking crazy. My
8:49
man, You're not shy rack anymore.
8:52
You've already made it. You made a hundred and fifty
8:54
million dollars with your contract with
8:56
with with the Bulls and your contract with
8:58
the Didas. It's not a okay.
9:01
Yeah, shy, shy guys
9:04
get eight up by the New York
9:06
press. They get destroyed.
9:09
So I hope we have he has
9:11
some type of buffer to between
9:14
him and the press, because if they're
9:16
losing and he's on that mumbling,
9:19
they're gonna kill him. Man, do your
9:21
impression of Derrick Rose? Uh,
9:26
Derrick Rose, how does it feel to be a New York
9:29
nick? Yeah?
9:32
See that's not gonna work. But but but for
9:34
me, I'm cool with that. I don't care about any
9:36
of that. Like I I know what I'm
9:38
getting with de Ros Well, we're not getting like I think
9:40
probably Derrick Rose when he hangs out with his people,
9:42
he's a low key, uh
9:45
you know, shy dude. But but you just can't
9:47
come looking buck
9:49
fool to the first press conference. This this
9:51
is not okay. And I don't know who your
9:53
handlers are, who your people are, but but somebody
9:56
should have pulled you aside and be like no, no, no,
9:58
no, no, no no no. We need to get your rush.
10:00
We need to get you like like a knife and
10:03
some scissors and cut this whole wigpiece
10:05
down. Um.
10:07
Um, my favorite player in the draft.
10:11
Uh it was Buddy Healed. Um.
10:13
Now I know this one other guard that I like. I can't
10:15
remember his name right now this day I'm rapport Stereo podcast.
10:18
You know, we don't fact check, but Buddy Healed,
10:20
I've always liked this kid from Oklahoma.
10:23
Um. And he's from the Caribbean, the
10:25
Caribbean Islands. Is that the Caribbean and the Caribbean
10:28
Islands? Um? He got drafted by the New
10:30
Orleans Hornets first round. Really
10:32
good shooter. I think, you know there's something
10:35
I just like him. I feel like he he he wants
10:37
to do well. Um, and he wants
10:40
to uh you know, I think he wants to be great.
10:43
That being said, wanting to be great
10:46
and looking great are are two different
10:48
things. So so Buddy Healed, Now
10:51
I feel like Uh, your
10:53
teeth will work
10:55
in your favor, because I believe I said
10:57
this before, this guy's got probably
11:00
probably the best set of
11:02
teeth in professional sports that I've ever
11:04
seen. I feel like this guy can hypnotize
11:06
you. He could lull defenders asleep
11:09
with those choppers. They're so
11:12
incredible. But him
11:14
and Anthony Davis, the UNI
11:17
Brow, what kind of circus
11:19
jabber jaw shit are
11:21
they trying to pull in New Orleans? They both need
11:23
to get like a full makeover. They
11:27
got the fucking jabber jaw twins down
11:29
in New Orleans. Uh. But
11:32
but but I don't know. I don't know
11:34
if if Buddy Heal's teeth should be fixed or
11:36
they should just be you know, putting like the Smithsonian
11:39
Museum and and like you know, in a time
11:41
capsule, because they're so great. I mean, they're
11:43
just incredible. But I feel like he has
11:45
that accent and those teeth. I
11:48
don't know what he was at he he's at the draft.
11:50
I couldn't understand this fucking guy. I didn't
11:52
know what he was saying. Like, I feel that
11:54
the perimeter of his mouth, it
11:57
doesn't matter how articulate he is
11:59
or what he's say I think the perimeter, the
12:01
front perimeter, those big teeth. They
12:04
just it's like it's like a sound wave. It's
12:06
like a sound barrier between like you just can't get
12:08
any any real, real words out that are
12:10
fully comprehensible. Oh so
12:13
so he sound he he sounds like
12:15
you can't understand him. No,
12:17
no, no, I'm exaggerating. I really like
12:19
him. He he just has an accent. He's Caribbean,
12:21
so he has a slight accent. And then he's
12:23
got the teeth of life, so
12:26
so you could understand. I'm just breaking his balls. He's
12:28
a good kid. I really feel good about this kid. I
12:30
I just I've always liked him, and I think that I
12:32
don't know, I think he's I think he's gonna be a really good
12:35
NBA player, and I think that uh, New
12:37
Orleans is definitely upgraded
12:39
himself by having him. I just think he's a guy who could
12:41
come in. He's a four year dude. I
12:43
think he could come in and he'll average between
12:46
fourteen and seventeen points his
12:48
rookie season, which is a lot more than some
12:50
of these other draft picks who you know,
12:52
aren't even shaving their faces, like Ben Simmons,
12:54
I I don't know if he's gonna be great or not.
12:57
The other guy from Duke who who got
12:59
picked in in the in the second the second
13:01
pick by the Lakers. I mean, this
13:03
kid hasn't even he hasn't even went through a full
13:05
puberty and he's the second round pick. I
13:07
mean he he looks great too, all
13:10
all things are saying that he'll be great, But he's the three
13:12
year project. I mean, this kid weighs about
13:14
a hundred and ninety seven pounds uh
13:16
in a wet pair of jeans and some Timberland
13:19
boots. He's like so eat, but
13:21
but he's talented. But like, you know, the thing that's
13:23
different now with basketball, like these kids, you're
13:25
not gonna get a Magic Johnson
13:27
or Larry Bird or Isaiah Thomas or
13:30
or or Lebron James or you
13:32
know that you're just not when you come in that young.
13:34
The majority of these guys are just
13:36
not gonna come in and and immediately change
13:39
the team. They're just two underdeveloped physically
13:42
and and skill wise. It takes him in it
13:44
um So I think that although you
13:46
know, like you know, these guys that are four years
13:49
that are a little bit older, a little bit you know, more
13:51
experienced. I think they have a better chance anyway.
13:53
You know we're not you know the college basketball
13:55
twins over here? Oh,
13:58
go ahead, so you so, what
14:00
you're saying is you think, buddy, he'll should get his
14:02
frontniture fixed. Yeah, long story
14:04
short, buddy he'll you should get out to l A and
14:06
get your your whole front, your whole front game,

15:24
know, did you hear about uh this dumb
15:26
fuck ha? You know who Tony
15:29
Robbins is. Tony Robbins is the
15:33
motivational speaker. He's he's like the O G
15:35
motivational speaker, Tony Robbins, the
15:38
Tony Robbins way and the Tony Robbins speaking
15:40
and uh, you know he's actually the guy
15:43
uh in Magnolia. Um,
15:46
Tom Cruise one of the people
15:48
who he's sort of um was
15:50
inspired of his great role in Magnolia,
15:52
the film by Paul Thomas Anderson was Tony Robbins.
15:55
He's like iconic motivational speaker
15:57
and apparently he's like seven ft tall if you ever
15:59
checked him out, Like I never noticed how
16:01
tall he was and then I heard he was like six nights.
16:04
Like he's like Steven Adams, like big motherfucker.
16:06
And he's a motivational speaker, which I
16:08
should be giving him motivational speaking because
16:11
if you're seven ft tall, Tony Robbins, why
16:13
you ain't playing in the league? Number
16:15
one? Like, wh who's talking that?
16:17
Can you dunk? Because I don't want a motivational
16:19
speaker who's six nine that can't dunk or
16:22
at one time, like, if you're six nine, you should be able
16:24
to dunk until you're about sixty five, correct,
16:28
Yeah, I mean that's just the way it is. So I
16:30
don't know if this guy is for real or not,
16:32
but you know, if you're six nine, why the funk
16:34
did you never play some competitive basketball?
16:37
Number one? Number two, Tony Robbins
16:39
has these seminars, right, he's Mr.
16:41
Motivational Speaker, right and
16:44
and and and apparently at one of his seminars
16:46
last week. Um, he has this thing
16:48
where he tries to get his his people that pay
16:50
to come. They pay to be
16:52
there. It's not free. He's a motivational
16:54
speaker. You have to pay a lot of money to
16:57
go get motivated by. So you know, if you're
16:59
you gotta be he fucked up in the game. If
17:01
you have a lot of money yet
17:03
you still need a motivational
17:05
speaker in your life. That being
17:07
said, he he has these conferences where it's like hundreds
17:10
of people and like thirty people
17:13
at this conference were injured, badly
17:16

17:21

17:41
speaker that's gonna then tell you to walk up? Listen,

17:50
know God himself, I know them ships are
17:52

19:20

19:23
Uh, it's the irap Port
19:25
Stereo podcast. Uh,
19:28
oh my god, man, Yo, you heard about
19:30
this thing in in in Scotland. Did
19:33
you funk with um roller coasters
19:35
and this monetti? Oh no man?
19:38
Uh the first one I went on in Coney
19:41
Island, I almost fell out of the Thunderbolt
19:44
in Coney Island and I've never been I had like
19:46
a fool bio about that ship. Now, yeah,
19:49
I don't. I don't mess with those things. The last
19:51
time I went on one was I've talked
19:53
about this on the Iron Rap Pors Stereo podcast.
19:56
Um, I think it was. I've talked about
19:58
a couple of times. But I know that the now infamous
20:01
um in the Legacy episode,
20:03
the True Romance episode when
20:05
we were forming True Romance. That was
20:07
the last time I went on a
20:09
roller coaster. My my son's they
20:12
go to Magic Mountain and their while for the
20:14
night, they go on all that
20:16
ship or like the crazier the better.
20:18
I don't go. A matter of fact, I've never even
20:21
taken my kids to Magic Mountain. I've I've
20:23
I've somehow missed that bullet. Other parents
20:25
have taken them. Uh, their mom took him,
20:27
this one took them, that one took him. I don't
20:29
like those. I don't like the crowds, I don't like the heat.
20:31
I don't like eating cotton candy, I don't like
20:34
slushies, and I don't like roller coasters.
20:36
But in Scotland, this is the reason why
20:38
I don't like because you know, you're always afraid that
20:40
you're gonna fall off the ship. While in Scotland
20:42
one of them ships derailed while people were
20:45
on it and eleven people were
20:47
really injured, and uh,
20:49
you know, I don't think there was any death, thank
20:51
god, but I mean this could happen anywhere.
20:54
I don't think those things are safe. Um,
20:56
and I don't know why people enjoy
20:58
them. My son, Uh, he can't
21:00
get enough. He can't get enough. He'll
21:03
just keep going. He gets that, he gets that pass where you
21:05
can just keep going and going and going
21:07
and and and you know, he said one time he was
21:09
scared, but other than that, he's good
21:11
to go. Never did
21:13
never, never got into that. After I almost
21:15
fell out in Coney Island, that was it. Yeah,
21:18
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't funk with that. And
21:20
and the one that Coney Island, what kind
21:22
of shitty thing is that thing? That that things like was
21:25
made in like the twenties. Fuck that. Oh, it's
21:27
the oldest one in the world. Exactly, it's
21:29
the oldest one in the world. Well, yeah,
21:31
that's cool. No no, no, no no, no, you're not missing You're
21:33
missing the point. It's the oldest one in the world,
21:35
you dumb fuck you. That means I really
21:38
don't want to go to it. Yeah, I I definitely
21:40
don't want to go on the oldest roller coaster, uh
21:42
in the world. Um, what else is
21:44
pop up? And Mr Monetti? Um?
21:47
I saw BT Awards.
21:50
I saw one performance that that left
21:52
my jaw a gape. M Um
21:57
is this guy got the number one
21:59
record in America, which doesn't
22:01
say a lot about America. And
22:05
uh he was basically
22:07
he basically had a fit in the aisles.
22:11
So the cameras went to the
22:14
great Brooklyn rapper, uh fabulous,
22:18
and he looked his face
22:20
looked like he knew that
22:23
hip hop was over. It's
22:26
time to eulogize hip hop, ladies
22:28
and gentlemen. We we we had a great run. Uh.
22:32
So much greatness has come out of hip
22:34
hop. Um and and and and there will
22:36
be uh there will continue to be uh
22:39
greatness. There's still people that are doing
22:41
it but overall as a whole. Uh,
22:44
either either we eulogize hip hop
22:47
once and for all, or there needs
22:49
to be another name for this other
22:51
kind of music that yah
22:53
yeah. Yeah.
22:56
The reason why I can't understand you, the reason why you're
22:58
not letting me on the standing because you're not
23:00
saying shit. See you
23:03
you you think you're rocking and you you're tricking
23:05
people into thinking that ship is ship
23:07
is sweet. But if
23:09
I gompety like
23:14
like, I could create a rhythm that that sounds
23:16
like something, but you don't want You don't
23:18
want me to know what you're saying because basically
23:21
you're not saying anything. So
23:22
and so I say, God,
23:25
bless these people for doing their thing. I want
23:27
them to do their thing, be successful, make
23:29
money by houses, uh, take
23:31
care of your family. All your dreams should come
23:33
true. But we need to we need to separate
23:37
what rap music is, what hip
23:39
hop culture is, and what this other
23:41
thing is. And the reality is is I don't
23:43
think it's up to hip hop and rap to
23:47
have to articulate what you're doing,
23:49
but it's up for you to not associate
23:52
yourself or to be categorized with
23:54
the hip hop and the rap. The
23:57
diamond Ds, the Gang Stars to
23:59
Try Cool Quest, the Day Lost Souls, the
24:01
krs Ones, the Eric Being, rock Kims,
24:04
the Ice Cubes, the
24:06
Lord for the
24:09
the the Ice Tease, the New the
24:11
New Edition, the n W Ways, all
24:13
the people that do it correct, the tolent qualities,
24:16
the most deafs, the master ass
24:18
you should come up with like you're
24:20
not doing that stuff, so why
24:23
why don't you come up with another category? And
24:25
then I think people like me and Gimonetti
24:28
and the other people that that get their their their their
24:30
feathers ruffled by the comment, we'll
24:37
be cool with it because it's like, Okay, that's that kind of music
24:39
that's not really for me. But but but
24:41
but it's two separate categories. So
24:45
I'm gonna hold off on the
24:47
the EU until they get their
24:49
own category. Okay, fair
24:51
enough, fair enough. I was ready for a funeral
24:53
march I have I actually I
24:55
know you know, I actually had the black suit ready,
24:58
uh, and I was ready for the fun and I was
25:00
gonna get the bagpipes out and and and
25:02
get it popping. So let them come. Let
25:05
them come up with their own title,
25:07
since they don't really want to be connected with
25:09
that. So y'all made your own ship,
25:12
so you should call it. Shouldn't call it hip
25:14
hop music. You and gang Star like
25:16

about a dinosaur Jew. They don't make
27:39
Jews like the great doctor Dr
27:41
Grivets. He's the one who delivered me and
27:44
brought me into the world. But when I was a teenager,
27:46
you know, you start to have were other things. I didn't want him
27:48
because he used to say, let me see your PP. It
27:50

30:42
Alright, let's the Iron rap Ports Stereo podcast.
30:44
So we
30:48
like to know what's going on and
30:50
and and the reality of the
30:52
Iron Rapports Stereo podcast. And I believe
30:54
most people in the world,
30:57
and I say this with all due respect because I'm
30:59
one of them, most people in the world are
31:01
uninformed and don't have a fucking clue
31:04
what's going on in the world politically. Uh,
31:07
would you agree with this, Mr Moody,
31:09
I agree. I've always
31:12
felt frustrated by, uh,
31:14
feeling out of the loop, not knowing
31:16
what's going on, uh in the political
31:19
space, especially as you get older
31:21
and you're paying taxes and you just
31:23
get a little bit more conscious about
31:26
these things. Um,
31:28
for instance, this whole Brexit thing. I
31:31
have no fucking idea what the
31:33
funk happened in London
31:36
last week? London, England,
31:39
UH, with this Brexit thing.
31:42
Um, you know, there was a sit in at
31:44
Congress. I believe it was a Congress. So
31:46
anyway, we're introducing our
31:49
new political columnist,
31:52
Mr Eli Lake. Okay, and we'll let him
31:54
explain who he is. But basically, he's
31:56
been a national security correspondent
31:59
for The Daily b and Newsweek, alright,
32:02
He's now a columnist for The Bloomberg
32:04
View. He's done on CNN, Fox,
32:06
c SPAN. He's a big fucking
32:08
political dude. And so now,
32:11
whether he likes it or not, he's
32:13
officially the unofficial political
32:16
columnist for
32:18
the Iron Rapports stereo podcast. So
32:20
we're gonna call Eli Lake now to
32:22
get some answers to some questions and
32:24
find out really just what's going on in
32:27
the world. In the United States. What's
32:29
up with uh D Trump? Uh
32:32
and find out the chances of him. Um,
32:34
so we're calling up the
32:36
brilliant Eli Lake. Now Eli,
32:43
let's do it. Thanks for joining us, uh
32:45
D Iron Wrap Ports Stereo Podcast. Um,
32:47
you've worked for for uh some really
32:50
prestigious uh you know organizations,
32:52
CNN, c SPAN, uh
32:56
with Newsweek, and now you're
32:58
anointed the unofficial official
33:01
I am Rapports stereo podcast political
33:04
columnists. So congratulations on that it
33:06
is, and well
33:09
we're we're we're happy to have you. So so basically,
33:11
UM, this is how I feel about
33:14
politics. I feel completely uninformed
33:17
and unlike the the the last
33:19
twenty five years of my life. I try
33:21
to know what's going on, but I feel like
33:23
the way that the news is articulated
33:26
to to Joe Schmo, like
33:28
myself and to probably a
33:31
lot of people, it's like it's
33:33
like you have to sort of you
33:35
have to dig so deep and
33:38
it still gets convoluted to just find out the
33:40
basic things that are going on in
33:42
the world. Do you know what I'm saying, Like this this whole
33:44
thing last week with Brexit. Let's
33:47
start with Brexit, because that's the thing. What
33:49
the funk is brexit number one? Number
33:52
two did that term just get
33:54
invented last week? And number
33:56
three, what's up with Boris
33:59
Johnson's hair? Those are three straight
34:01
up questions that I'd just like you to
34:03
help to inform me and the
34:05
listeners of the Iron Rapports stereo podcast.
34:07
ELI. So let's start
34:09
off with brexit. Brexit
34:11
just means that there was a referendum
34:14
in the United Kingdom and
34:17
they voted to no longer be part of
34:19
the European Union, which is really an economic
34:22
kind of political union. That
34:24
means that if you're a British citizen, you
34:26
can work in Romania and you
34:29
don't have to go through a lot of paperwork. It
34:31
means that instead of negotiating
34:33
a trade agreement between the United Kingdom
34:36
and say France, and then in a separate one
34:38
with Germany, there's a common kind of
34:40
trade agreement, but there
34:42
is also a kind of there's clearly a resentment
34:45
of majority of people who voted in that referendum
34:47
felt that there was too much control
34:49
that was exercised by rustles
34:52
where the European Union is based
34:55
to leave the Union. Wait, see, this
34:58
is where things gets gets you right off the top. Up.
35:00
What the fuck is a referendum?
35:03
I'm sorry, I listen. I'm a
35:05
product of the the the New York
35:07
City public school education system.
35:09
Maybe I failed it or it failed me,
35:12
but that's neither here nor there. What
35:14
I don't worry about it. What is a Referendumum?
35:17
A referendum is just an election,
35:19
but instead of voting for a person into office,
35:21
you're voting yes or no on a particular
35:23
issue, like California has
35:25
on the ballot various propositions every year.
35:28
It's the same kind of thing. That's all that is,
35:30
got it? Got it? See that makes sense, that's
35:32
real basic. I could wrap my head around that. Moody.
35:34
Are you able to follow Mr Linke? Yes,
35:38
let him finish my friend. Okay, I'm just but
35:40
I just wanted to because when he said referendum,
35:42
he said it twice. The first time he said it, I was
35:44
already gone, and I know you didn't know what the
35:46
fuck he meant. G Did you know what he meant by referendum?
35:49
No, that's why I'm listening. Let him go. Okay,
35:52
No, No, it's so it's it's it's okay because I
35:54
get paid both time to just follow this kind of
35:56
stuff. You know what I'm saying, Like, just like I wouldn't
35:58
know the intricacies of a screw that you were doing,
36:01
or you know, something you were working on, Gerald Moody
36:03
in terms of a feat or something like that. It's like,
36:05
I have the privilege to cover this full time,
36:07
so you know, we all have our roles,
36:09
so I don't I don't look at it that way. But
36:11
back to the to Brexit, that was something
36:14
I think that that newspaper people kind
36:16
of came up with. It just means British
36:18
exit, and that's been going on for about
36:20
a month a month and a half or so. You've seen
36:23
it in a lot of news stories, and that's that's
36:25
all that means, the British exit. And
36:27
the people, the people who voted, you
36:29
know, to leave, they said they were part of the Leave
36:31
camp and then you know that, and and and they
36:33
ended up winning. And it's a huge
36:36
deal both in terms of
36:38
the fact that it's going to mean a lot of new
36:41
agreements that the United Kingdom is gonna
36:43
have to sign with all the other countries
36:45
in Europe. But it's already
36:47
meant that the Prime Minister David Cameron
36:49
has had to resign and there's
36:52
a chance at least that there could be another
36:54
referendum or vote for Scotland
36:57
to leave the United Kingdom, which
36:59
would make up uh, you know, the
37:01
British Isles. And uh,
37:04
finally, you know, some people
37:06
are saying this could be, um, a
37:09
sign that the country, our
37:11
country in America might be there's a
37:13
popular sentiment you know that's kind of taking
37:15
over in the West and that people will go for
37:18
Trump. I don't think that's the case, but you know
37:20
that is that's that's sort of how people are interpreting.
37:22
All right, this this makes sense. I'm following
37:24
you. We're gonna get to d Trump in
37:27
a in a minute. Um. Now,
37:29
now, now, Boris Johnson, who
37:31
the funk is he? And and how is
37:34
he taken? Seriously with that hair?
37:36
And and more importantly, do you think,
37:38
because just just from what I've seen about Boris
37:41
Johnson, do you think he has
37:43
breath that smells like fried fish and mayonnaise?
37:46
These are all real simple questions.
37:48
And that's hilarious because it does
37:51
seem like he's a pumpkinhead. Doesn't than looks
37:53
like you look like he looks
37:55
crazy. Well, here's the thing about Boris Johnson,
37:58
he used to have my job. He used to be a little
38:00
columnists. He wrote a book
38:02
that got pretty good reviews about Winston Churchill.
38:05
And you know, he was a Tory. He's
38:07
on the he's on the right. He's a Tory politician.
38:09
He was the mayor of London. But he
38:12
was somebody who was kind of considered intellectual
38:14
and so other intellectuals and writers.
38:17
We're very disappointed in him because
38:20
he supported uh the United
38:22
Kingdom leaving the European Union, and he
38:24
was one of the leaders of that campaign. And
38:26
now after Cameron has resigned,
38:29
he's considered to be the favorite for now
38:32
to be the next leader of the United Kingdom, the
38:34
next Prime Minister. Now, now, my
38:36
stocks went in the shifter on Friday.
38:39
Okay, everybody stocks
38:41
winning the shipter on Friday. Now, I have long term
38:44
stocks. But but as you as
38:46
you may or may not know, I have a lot of issues
38:48
with my stool. You know, I'm trying to I'm trying
38:50
to, but I live to the podcast.
38:52
Okay, So so obviously when I find
38:54
out that that that the stocks went in down
38:57
the dream on Friday, my stool it didn't
38:59
have a good week in what are the long
39:01
term ramifications for Americans or
39:04
are there any or or is it the unknown
39:07
with this Brexit situation? And
39:09
and then I want to throw this out. You could answer this afterwards.
39:12
Is it true? I mean I heard about
39:14
this on the news that after the day
39:16
after the vote, all these these
39:18
these these British people voted the
39:21
most googled thing from
39:24
London and from England was EU.
39:26
What is EU? So essentially these people
39:29
voted it would be like voting on like I want
39:31
a hot dog, and then then and they said, yes, we
39:33
want hot dogs, and then the next day everybody was
39:35
like, what's a hot dog? It's
39:39
true that a lot of people probably didn't know fully
39:41
what they were voting for. And the
39:44
one of the big issues was immigration,
39:47
and the EU vote doesn't really
39:49
have to do with the with the UK policy
39:51
on immigration, so those two things
39:54
probably got inflated in the minds
39:56
of a lot of voters. They didn't know exactly. They
39:58
sort of thought it was all part the same issue. Um
40:01
the long term ravocations to listen,
40:03
I could tell you that I have some smart you
40:05
know take, but I would say that one of the reasons
40:08
I love your podcast is
40:10
because the experts and
40:12
the journalists have been so wrong
40:14
in the last few years. Look at how they
40:17
were dismissing Donald Trump in the US.
40:19
So I don't I don't want to get ahead of it. I
40:21
mean, I think that right now the obvious
40:23
point is that the United Kingdom
40:26
is one of the is probably the closest ally in
40:28
the United States as period now
40:30
when it comes to military and national
40:32
security and intelligence stuff, the
40:34
relationship, and it doesn't affect that because
40:36
there's something called NATO which is the major reliance.
40:39
Britain still going to be part of that. And
40:42
but on the issues of sort of trade issues
40:44
and increasingly economic pressure
40:47
on countries like Iran or
40:49
Russia, not having the Kingdom
40:51
in the European Union could mean that
40:54
Europe, the Europeans, the Europeans are
40:56
are not gonna be going along with the United
40:58
States when we won the sanction blamer
41:00
putin or something like that. We'll
41:02
have to see how it plays out. Because
41:05
the British often of royster
41:07
Us interest inside of
41:10
the European Union, they were strongest friend
41:12
there. You could say, all right, I'm following you, I'm
41:14
following you and listen. You could never
41:17
ever dumb it down enough for me
41:19
or Gimo Nettie and the iron rapports stereo
41:21
pockets. So never think that you're like being
41:24
offensive if you really break it down, because
41:26
I'll say right now, I would like you to
41:28
talk to me like you're talking to an eleven
41:31
year old. But if you get a little too high
41:33
falutin and fancy, I'm gonna dumb it down to a seven
41:35
year old. So just start at eleven
41:37
and if you get you know, if things get away
41:39
from me, I'm gonna say, act like you're talking to a seven
41:42
year old with maybe a slight
41:44
learning disability. Okay,
41:46
so so so Gimo Nettie,
41:49
do you have any questions on on the Brexit thing for
41:51
for for for Mr Lake No,
41:54
I was wanting to talk about Donald Trump.
41:57
Yeah, let's let's get you guys
41:59
on Trump. So so
42:03
I think the people who are
42:05
the most political experts
42:07
in the media didn't
42:10
see something that people who who
42:12
were who didn't have like
42:14
their careers wrapped up in it and
42:16
had more distance from it, could
42:18
see immediately. And I'm thinking of a specific
42:20
episode. It was one of the first times you
42:22
were on Moody where you guys
42:25
had compared Trump at the debate.
42:27
I think to Nino Brown of New Nujac
42:30
City and the sort of talking
42:32
to the other drug dealers and letting them know that this
42:34
is gonna be my foreigners from now on. And
42:36
that was probably that
42:38
informed people more than like all
42:41
the bullshit that you would hear from
42:44
lots of inside Washington, you
42:46
know, insider types who would say
42:48
no, no, no, there's an establishment lane.
42:50
He can't raise enough money, he's
42:53
not gonna not gonna laugh the bad
42:55
all that they got it completely wrong.
42:57
And he ran the table on the Republicans. And I
42:59
think you guys really were the first to
43:01
kind of go out there with that. And I thought the deeds
43:04
Trump the way you were talking about like that,
43:06
it was so appropriate and it really
43:08
stuck, at least for me as I was looking at
43:10
this stuff. Well, first of all, uh,
43:13
that goes gives credit to the two thousand
43:15
and fifteen podcast co hosted the Gimnetti.
43:18
Um he's been he's been the one pumping
43:21
that And and I laughed him out of the gloom
43:23
tomb when he first said that Trump would
43:25
be elected. Um, I thought it
43:27
was totally crazy and off the wall.
43:30
And and look who's laughing now, Look who's
43:32
laughing now yet again, uh
43:34
G Moody whose last name rhymes with duty
43:37
um so so so Eli.
43:39
Here's my question. Has Donald
43:41
Trump articulated a
43:43
foreign policy Ah?
43:47
No, he has contradicted himself
43:50
many times on foreign policy, and
43:53
it's not clear what he would do because
43:55
he has been on both sides of
43:57
a lot of very important issues. The
44:00
one thing we know is that he's
44:02
way too close to Vladimir Putin for
44:05
most politicians in Washington, and
44:07
his top political advisor, who he brought
44:10
in, a guy named Paula Manaport, took
44:13
lots and lots of money from oligarchs
44:16
who are clearly connected to Vladimir Putin.
44:18
And and my I've written about
44:20
this, but in my view, that should be disqualifying.
44:23
And we know that he
44:26
has said this idea of America
44:28
first, which sounds good,
44:31
but we should remember that that is the same
44:33
slogan that Charles
44:35
Lindberg used before World
44:38
War Two to keep America from fighting
44:40
the Nazis, and was associated
44:42
for decades in American political discourse
44:45
with the idea of, you
44:48
know, a kind of paranoid view that Jews
44:51
and British people were really pulling the strings
44:53
of the U. S government, and he's
44:56
sort of brought it back. Lots of people
44:58
myself included, said you, is
45:00
this phrase America? First, here's the origins of
45:02
it, and he does it anyway. He sends it all the time. So
45:05
there's a lot of reasons to be very concerned with
45:07
that. Yeah, what do you
45:09
think the chances of Donald Trump actually
45:12
winning the presidency? Like you work
45:15
for Bloomberg? Like, yeah, when you're hanging out
45:17
with Bloomberg, you guys are in the bathroom, like must
45:19
share a bathroom with with with with with the Michael
45:21
Bloomberg. You're in there taking a leak. Are you ever
45:24
say, hey, hey, Mike, what do you know
45:26
about this guy? Like, could you ever get that continuation?
45:28
I I don't. I don't hang out with my Bloomberg. I
45:30
want to make that very clear. Okay, so you've
45:33
never taken a piss like you're you're walking around the Bloomberg
45:35
offices. You guys are in there, your two men, you
45:37
got your loaves out, you're taking a leak. This doesn't
45:40
happen. And am I am I totally this
45:42
doesn't happen. I'm
45:45
sorry you listen
45:48
on the on the question of is Donald Trump
45:50
gonna win. I mean at this point he
45:53
has. First of all, he's
45:56
doubled down on crazy,
45:58
so if he can change too so that
46:01
so his core fans, I
46:03
think he's he's been in super
46:05
real, But it's like that Dave Chappelle's sketch
46:08
Keep It a Real goes wrong because
46:11
he hasn't broadened it out to build
46:13
a coalition that any expert
46:15
would say, UH could win
46:17
a national election. What's more,
46:20
when people were doubting Trump
46:23
in the primary, like a year ago,
46:26
eight months ago, he was leading
46:28
in a lot of these polls, and now he's
46:31
not leading nationally, He's not the
46:34
latest polls come out, he's not leading in battle ground
46:36
state. So the polls have been
46:38
correct, and that's why I think
46:41
that he's not gonnain. But I will tell you this, I
46:43
think that broadly speaking, the media
46:46
and particularly CNN, as an interest
46:48
in making the race appear as close as
46:50
it is as it can be,
46:52
because that's the way you get rating because people take
46:54
its in doubt. And I think that to a degree,
46:57
Hillary wants it to appear close to
46:59
so she can her people out to vote
47:01
against Trump, because I think that he brings out,
47:03
you know, people voting against them and roll as people voting
47:06
the forum. So so we do do you
47:08
think that the media actually articulates
47:11
that stuff like like as in terms
47:13
of like heightens the drama. So so
47:15
it was that true what you said for the ratings and stuff
47:17
like that. That's a real thing, right, because I mean, you
47:19
know, we look at these shows and we take them
47:21
all for God's word, but but at
47:24
the end of the day, it's it's a television network
47:26
that has to pay bills, they have commercial
47:28
ads and all that stuff. So so you think that
47:30
that's a real thing when it comes to political television.
47:33
Well, I think that these news and I think that news
47:36
people cover the news, and Donald's
47:38
frum is definitely a new story. But I also think
47:41
that it's it's not that
47:43
that that that making that kind of making
47:46
it seem like all right, you know it's a contest
47:48
and covering it like it's a close rate. It's
47:51
also good for ratings, and two things are not necessarily
47:53
mutually exclusive. But I think
47:56
at this point, you know, I
47:58
think he's gonna get blown out. That's what I thing.
48:00
You know, I'm not in the prediction business,
48:02
but I think he's gonna get blown Now, I just think there's
48:04
too many Americans
48:07
that are not only horrified by him, but
48:09
really feel like a kind of civic duty to vote
48:11
against it, and like
48:14
that's gonna I think that's gonna prevail. It's
48:16
kind of an optimistic view in a way, but that's that's
48:19
how I see it. And what what is
48:21
the what? What is the woman? Uh? I whenever
48:23
I think of females in politics, I
48:25
always love the name Barbara Boxer. Now,
48:27
now today Hillary Clinton was
48:30
was uh sort of uh giving
48:32
an audition to uh, what's her name? Elizabeth
48:35
Elizabeth Warren? Yeah, Elizabeth Warren. Now
48:38
do you think that it's a real possibility
48:41
that an all female cabinet would
48:43
actually do? Think that Hillary would actually run
48:45
with Elizabeth Warren? And what is what is
48:47
the strength of her? Because I'll
48:49
be honest, I don't know jack shit about her
48:51
now. The hipsters and everybody they
48:53
do, and I know it's the politically correct
48:55
thing to say I do. And I don't know if she's
48:57
fantastic or not. I just don't know anything.
49:00
And and and I'm proud to say I don't know anything.
49:02
And that's why we have, uh, the unofficial
49:05
official political columnists on here
49:07
to educate us. So, so what is her
49:09
story and why is she so coveted and
49:11
revered by the people these days.
49:14
Well, she's revered by many liberals
49:17
because she's somebody who's been outspoken,
49:20
uh for actually trying to punish
49:22
some of the Wall Street type who
49:24
got everybody into the horrible,
49:27
you know, grave recession. It sucked
49:29
me to eli housing market. So that's how she
49:31
made her name. And that's something
49:33
that for you know, a generation or
49:35
two Clinton Democrats. I remember
49:38
Clinton was a Democrat who
49:40
one in two with the
49:42
message that he was going to be more centrist
49:44
right. He was in favor of the death penalty,
49:47
and he you know, one of the end welfare as
49:49
we know it, and you
49:51
know, the party in the country I think has really
49:53
shifted more to the left. And Elizabeth
49:55
Moore and his act kind of Democrats. Hillary
49:58
of course is so connected to claim and
50:00
she's trying to sort of run more as a progressive.
50:03
But as we saw with the you know, popularity
50:05
of Bernie Sanders, it didn't really didn't
50:08
really stick with a lot of the voters. Elizabeth
50:10
Warren is a way to kind of bring that together, bring
50:12
the party together got you. I got you, I got
50:14
you. That makes sense. That makes sense, all
50:17
right? And then and then Gimo, Nettie, do
50:19
do you have anything anything more?
50:21
You want to follow up with? D Trump? Oh?
50:24
No, D Trump? ELI really UH
50:27
solidified everything for me, and Uh, I have
50:29
no more questions. I like to listen to
50:31
Eli talks. See I listen, Okay,
50:33
I'm listening to Gerald. I'm listening also
50:38
anyway, I love I love you guys. I think you guys
50:41
have such a grand I like the concept
50:44
of we don't fact check. If
50:46
you think about it, that has been a dominant
50:49
theme of our political cycle. Right. Donald
50:51
Trump just said stuff he doesn't fact check,
50:55
and trust me, my lawyers are going to reach out to ye.
50:58
But don't worry. He he trust me.
51:01
He's gonna get a look because we we've we've we've copied
51:03
written, ain't no fact checking, okay,
51:05
And and anybody who says it, they'll get
51:08
charged, possibly sued. And you
51:10
know, I'm not scared of it to take anybody
51:12
down, all right. So so finally, this
51:15
this sit in. Last week there was
51:17
a sit in over the gun control, which
51:19
I firmly believe. You know, I gotta tell you something
51:21
like I'm trying. I moved into a new neighborhood,
51:23
right and and and and there's a there's
51:25
like a little parking Uh, there's a driveway,
51:28
okay, and then on the street. Everybody
51:30
needs parking passes. So if I had you come
51:32
over, Um and Jim Nettie
51:35
come over and we're having a little barbecue, we're
51:37
doing a live Iron Rapports stereo podcast,
51:39
you would have to move your car unless
51:42
I had a parking pass for you. I
51:44
also, I also and
51:47
the owner of a handgun. I'm saying this so the first
51:49
time publicly legally
51:51
I I legally own a handgun.
51:54
It took me fucking
51:56
it was. It was no sweat to get the handgun.
51:59
Yet to get the parking pass that only lasts
52:01
for four months, I I it's taken
52:03
me over five weeks already. I can't
52:06
do it. It's the biggest fucking pain in
52:08
the has to get these parking passes that only
52:10
last five four months. Yet you
52:12
can get a handgun. It's
52:14
just as easy as you can. You could go get
52:16
a big mac in some French fries. So you
52:19
know, I I firmly believe that if you're
52:21
on any sort of fly list, no fly
52:23
list. Uh you you haven't paid
52:25
parking tickets. Uh, you owe somebody
52:28
fifty bucks at the t s A. You
52:30
shouldn't be able to get a gun. I don't give a two
52:32
ships, and and and and and if and when
52:35
you get off that list, then you
52:37
can get a gun, motherfucker. But
52:39
but this whole thing about like you could
52:41
just get a gun easier than you can't to get a
52:43
parking pass, I think it is is horrible.
52:45
It's dangerous, and we're all seeing the ramifications.
52:48
So last week with this sitting, is
52:51
that what the gist was was this about basically
52:53
Michael Rapport can't get a parking pass,
52:55
but he could get a handgun anytime he wants. I
52:59
hear what you're saying. But with all due respect,
53:01
I think that the way they've
53:04
framed it, it sounds good. Of course, if
53:06
you're on a terror watch list, people
53:08
immediately think, of course, you shouldn't buy a gun. But
53:11
the government is so inefficient
53:13
with who they placed on terror watch lists
53:16
that it's included a number of journalists who
53:18
I know who cover terrorism
53:20
issues. It's
53:23
too big the terror watch lists. The Intercept
53:25
has done some pretty good reporting on this, and
53:28
that's interesting then, so I
53:30
agree with you that it's too easy to buy a
53:32
gun and there should be much stricter
53:35
background check, but the way
53:37
they proposed it is not a particularly good way.
53:39
And the other point I would just make is that, you know,
53:41
the tactic of sit ins
53:44
is a classic kind of non violent, uh
53:47
act of civil resistance, and
53:50
I'm you know, that's a that's a perfectly fine
53:52
way to do it. But when you are a member of Congress,
53:55
you have other means available to
53:57
pursue your agenda. So in that respect,
53:59
I think it was good. It was a good publicity
54:01
stunt. But it's
54:04
not like, you know, let's be let's
54:06
be real for a minute. This isn't like they're changing themselves
54:08
through a nuclear reactor. These are people who can
54:10
vote in Congress. They have power. Even though they're in the
54:12
minority right now, they're probably going to be in
54:14
the majority after the election. Um,
54:16
so the thing they can do besides
54:19
the sit in, but you know, I feel like it raised
54:21
a lot of awareness and probably in that sense of goodness,
54:24
do you think that will ever like this gun control
54:27
thing will ever be sort of evened out or
54:29
is it like this ironclad
54:32
constitutional ship that obviously needs
54:34
a rewrite. We need to call Aaron Sorkin
54:36
or somebody. Spielberg, somebody needs to rewrite
54:39
this fucking thing once and for all. It's it's
54:41
it's a joke. Uh. Do
54:43
you think this gun control thing will ever be worked
54:45
out or is this just gonna be continue to just be
54:47
the great white American way.
54:51
Well, there have been like some
54:53
gun control measures they but it's the problem
54:55
is the n A is a powerful lobby
54:58
and the member it's really it's the
55:00
members, the people who are really in the gun It's
55:03
like, here's the thing, and I guess it's having
55:06
covering Washington, right. If
55:08
you can get the most people, but
55:11
they don't give a shit about something, it
55:13
doesn't really it's not really going to
55:15
change things. What you need to do is you need to get
55:17
if you only have a few people, but they're obsessed with
55:19
it and it's all they talk about. It's all
55:21
they do, and they watch every little
55:23
move. That is extremely powerful and that's
55:25
what the n r A had. Um It's
55:28
not like they have a majority of American
55:30
to agree with them, but the Americans
55:32
they have are so invested in the
55:34
issue and the other side has not
55:37
been equally intense about
55:39
it. And until you get the other side that's
55:41
watching just as closely every little
55:44
regulation and everything like that, then
55:46
I think it's gonna there's so they're gonna be able to
55:48
kind of have the situation we do you do have
55:50
right now? Right alright, alright, so so all right,
55:52
well I appreciate all this inside, Eli, So
55:54
let me ask you a question be being a young uh
55:57
you know, viral uh? Is
55:59
it viral? Vile? Viral? I
56:01
don't know what the viral? There? You go,
56:04
you're you're down in Washington. You're a world
56:06
traveler. I imagine you have a
56:08
passport that is stamped with all
56:11
sorts of you know, you've been here, You've been Somalia,
56:13
Israel, all over the place, countries that can't
56:15
pronounce uh, and countries I don't
56:17
even know about all the hidden countries, which I know
56:19
they exist, Okay, and and you know, trust
56:21
me, I'm on today. But when you're in Washington,
56:24
like, well, what's the social life down there? Like we
56:26
got a lot of you know, like we got a little what what
56:29
what's going on down there? Like is there a lot of cigars?
56:31
And like what are we doing. You know what
56:33
I'm saying. That's a good question.
56:35
There there is. There's definitely, um,
56:38
you know, kind of socializing
56:40
between reporters and their sources
56:43
and members of Congress and
56:45
that happened. But there's also like a
56:47
normal kind of party scene. Uh.
56:50
DC has its own indigenous music
56:52
called Go Go. You ever
56:54
listen to that? You have to see it alive. Unbelievable.
56:58
Um, you know, I mean, I'm
57:00
not really I'm from Philadelphia, so I'm an
57:02
Eagle fan. You know, people love
57:04
the Redskins down here. But it's like
57:07
any other industry, you know, you have journalists
57:10
have parties and stuff, People come over and that
57:12
kind of thing. So so at times the journalists
57:14
they get together and and and people
57:16
are freaking off and unfolding the low. You don't have
57:18
to confirm or deny that. I'm just saying it. I
57:21
read between the lines. All
57:23
right, Eli, listen, I
57:25

57:28
