jul 20 2026

thanks for reading the podcast today. toronto, get tix to see jacqueline novak at comedy bar. wish i was there. listen to the podcast here if you want. see ya -chris

i didnt just wake up, because when i woke up i had to take jacqueline to the airport and i didnt have time to record. i would have had time to record if i woke up earlier, but thats obvious. I over explain things sometimes. jacquelines on her way to toronto. shes going to be at comedy bar. if youre in toronto, go see jacqueline novak. you got everything going on right now in canada. you got national health care, your old prime minister dating katy perry, and you got jacqueline novak performing there. so everythings happening in canada. entertainment, well, thats entertainment news.

other entertainment news, saw the odyssey last night. i didnt see it in 70 millimeter. its impossible to get tickets to 70 millimeter right now. im gonna have to see it again. im gonna say maddies secret got 37 out of 37 stars. i had upped my star system to 37 for maddies secret. i gotta bump it up to 38 for the odyssey, and im not saying its better than maddies secret. i think retroactively that gets bumped up to 38 as well. theyre different movies, cant say ones better than the other. its not right. John earley is a first-time director, christopher nolan has been around for quite some time. the odyssey, it might be one of the greatest achievements of cinema. go see it. you have to see it. if you live in the united states as an american, all we have is entertainment. that is what we can still show the world. we are the best at this. i think koreans have done some great work, but this, the odyssey, we did it. and i say we because it is us. it is this country that made it happen. well, they filmed all over the world, but christopher nolan is an american. matt damon, god damn it, is an american. tom holland is british. theres some other british people in there, but still the star, odysseus, we have an american odysseus. christopher nolan gave us a british batman, and robert pattinson, pattinson, whos the new batman, is in this. pattinson? pattinson, i think. hes a great actor, but hes the new batman. weve got two british batmans. thats a lot, i think. if you think about how many batmans there have been, two british? i dont know. if they had an american james bond, the brits would lose their shit over that, and they should. christian bale was kind of the best batman though. or is it ben affleck? or michael keaton. michael keaton. listen, i got way off track here. i was talking about the odyssey, but its christopher nolan related because of batman, so i didnt go too off track.

odyssey is a great movie. no spoilers. well, it got spoiled for me sophomore year in high school, but i dont remember any of that. there was a lot of surprises for something that i was supposed to read. i forget if we were supposed to read the whole thing or we were going over parts of it. i mean, i definitely didnt read it. but any books that were assigned to me to read, i never read. except for, theres a couple, but most of them i didnt. i skimmed. i asked other people in the class, hey, what happened? i got by. but read a book cover to cover, thats a pretty rare occurrence. did i do 1984? i wanted to. i really wanted to on 1984, dont think i got to because i had to read that and brave new world. brave new world got less than 1984. if i had to pick between the two, yeah, 1984 i thought was better, but i didnt read the whole thing of either one of them, so that doesnt mean anything. again, im off track. go see the odyssey. the odyssey needs to be the highest grossing movie of all time. its up to us as americans to make it so. now im gonna get into the regular news.

trump administration deported 28 disney cruise ship workers from eight ships in child sex abuse material case, but did not prosecute them

that headline took me for a ride. because it starts out, well you know how, but its like trump administration deports. im like, what the fuck? 28 disney cruise ship workers, come on, trump administration. are you kidding me? this is what youre doing? this is, you know, from eight ships. and sex abuse material kids, oh, okay. well, thats a good reason. thats what they call child pornography now, which is better, because it shouldnt be called pornography when its child abuse sex material. it just, child abuse sex material doesnt roll off the tongue. and it shouldnt. it shouldnt be rolling off anybodys tongue. it should be hard to say. but then, thats good. the trump administration deports these people for, the child abuse sex material case, and then but did not prosecute them. well now you built up the goodwill and then didnt prosecute them. now, some people do say trump is a pedophile. some people say that. so maybe thats why they didnt prosecute the child sexual abuse material case. i think they say csam for short, which i dont like that. im not going to start, i dont want to have to say it so much that i need to come up with the acronym. its like incel, for involuntary celibate. someone said, well, were gonna be saying this a lot, so we gotta shorten it up. im not saying involuntary celibate every time. okay, incel, thats better. so yeah, they didnt get prosecuted, and theres another reason to stay off cruise ships. you dont know whos working on them. and the disney cruise ship, if anybodys gonna attract that type of people, its a disney cruise ship, unless theres like a catholic church cruise ship, then probably a little bit more. both those cruises, i would stay away from. get on like an elderly person cruise ship. and then, you know, its relaxed, dinners early, and you feel young. thats like why i lived on the upper west side. a lot of old people around. it was great. everybody was like, oh, you gotta move to bushwick around a bunch of 22-year-olds. i dont need that. i need old people around calling me young man.

fbi will no longer investigate ice shootings, agents are told: report

i dont know why i have to say colon report. i should just skip over that, but i want to read you the full headline. so there is a report and it says that, and the fbi, theyre not going to investigate. they werent really investigating before though, were they? they were there to make it look like, hey, somebodys investigating this, and it looks fine to us. you had no choice but to shoot them. they were gonna drive away, and then they would have kept driving, and that guy was laying on the ground, he was plotting something, you had to shoot. you shoot less people than you should, actually, according to us at the fbi. but theyre not going to do it anymore. so ice will self-investigate, and they will find, yeah, not only should these people have been shot, the ice officers should get a bonus, a shooting bonus. theres a level of bonus for shooting somebody, and then theres another level for killing. if you shoot and maim, you get something. you shouldnt get nothing for that. but if you kill, thats a better bonus than just maiming, obviously.

charlie kirks sign removed from tennessee highway after veterans object

spain edge argentina after extra time to win second world cup title

i was for spain, i dont know why. i guess because i think one day maybe ill move to spain. ive been to spain, ive never been to argentina. so its not a real reason, but i wanted to have somebody that was like, hey, id like spain to win. but after seeing how some of the players on argentina attacked some of the players on spains team, i thought, kind of like argentina now. theyre passionate. they really want, the game is over, the match is over, i should say match, they dont say game. but anyway, the match is over and argentina is so mad. they say, fuck it all, lets fight. i kind of appreciate that. people call that sore losing, i call it passion. you shouldnt do that, of course. but sometimes you can see people do something they shouldnt do and still appreciate it, right? maybe im wrong, i dont know. that sounded kind of like nonsense, what i just said. but nobody got hurt. if somebody got really hurt, then that would be a whole other thing.

gas prices hit $4 again after oil soars more than 15% in a week

oh, we can go higher than that, cant we? well, its not going to end there. its going to get more expensive than that. but the oil companies get to make money. and then the stock market goes up for some reason, and were all told, hey, you see? its great. the economy is great. the stock market went up because the oil companies are making so much money. so isnt that great for you? you could cash out your 401k and be able to buy some groceries.
