Speaker 2

Welcome back to the MT Alternative Podcast , the show that proves the best conversations happen when you least expect them and when Mike and Tom are somehow still allowed near a microphone . And when Mike and Tom are somehow still allowed near a microphone , I'm Daniel , your ever-suffering presenter , here to guide you through another episode where logic takes a back seat and chaos rides shotgun . Today , mike and Tom tackle politics and doge , which means we're in for a mix of questionable takes , half-researched facts and at least one awkward pause where they both forget what they were talking about . So buckle up , lower your expectations and let's get into it . This is the MT Alternative Podcast .

Speaker 3

So anyways , uh , a lot of crap going on in the news again yeah , well , you know I was gonna do some good things I was gonna say real quick the the money part .

Speaker 4

Unless you had to take part in this past holiday , I guess we call it yeah , valentine's Day , yeah , where you got to just go out and spend all your money to prove that you love somebody . Isn't that the most ridiculous thing you've ?

I feel pretty bad why we didn't do anything . We just it's another day for us .

Speaker 3

Well , usually that it is , it is . That's the most we do .

Speaker 4

We don't go out to eat .

Speaker 4

I was going to do steaks . I was going to do steaks and stuff for us on the grill .

But it just the weather's been so crappy lately yeah .

Speaker 3

Speaking of it's just raining and the wind yeah today . It's actually pretty nice today . We almost hit 60 . Well , temperature-wise , but it sure is windy , yeah , and we got that rain . Now little pockets of rain coming through , yeah , I know that Maybe some snow in the middle of the week maybe . Yeah that's what they're saying .

Speaker 4

Well , it is winter , but as far as that goes back to the news .

Speaker 3

What do you think of Doge ?

Speaker 4

I like it .

Speaker 3

Yeah , I'm liking it too .

Speaker 4

Listen , guy breaks in your house . Yep , the police call you . Hey , we caught the guy . Well , you , son of a bitch , how dare you Catch the motherfucker who stole my shit ? What are you thinking ? What a travesty . You are an asshole . I don't want to process it . How are you going to go and catch a guy that stole my shit and then plaster him off ?

Speaker 3

How dare you ? Oh , that's the way of the world . But things are changing . Things are changing Slowly , Sarcasm . The liberal tears are fun . Slowly Sarcasm , I got to admit the liberal tears are fun to watch . Now I'm not talking moderate Democrats , anything like that . Hey , I'd say the same thing about right-wing nutjobs on the right side , but right now it's just fun to watch . But I don't remember anybody melting down when Biden was in there like this .

Speaker 4

Here's what I like Do you , no , no like this . Here's what I like , do you ? No , no , none . Here's what I like , though they're worried about . Oh , everybody's crying because there's 20-year-olds , 19-year-olds , 20-year-olds in Doge . Okay .

Speaker 3

Oh , yeah , going through everything .

Speaker 4

But yet not more than four years ago .

Speaker 3

They want young people to vote . They wanted us to listen to a 13-year-old about environment changes and they wanted to put the voting age down to 16 .

Speaker 4

Are they crazy ? There's a reason that young people aren't allowed to drink .

Speaker 3

I don't know . I talked to one of these kids last night . He sounds pretty smart , Tom , A lot smarter than these politicians . What about these songs ? They're out there protesting Singing stupid songs . They sound like idiots . But anyways , here's one of the things that cracked me up About the spending they found Dems are all upset about Supposedly LGBTQ plus initiative abroad . Things that crack me up about the spending they found and Dems are all upset about supposedly LGBTQ plus initiative abroad . 1.5 million dollars For what ? For allocations for one point , for workplace inclusion in Serbia .

Speaker 4

Oh , in Serbia .

Speaker 3

Yeah , you know , in the middle of nowhere Serbia .

Speaker 4

Yeah , let's just what is it ? We'll teach them how to be LGBTQ , and then you have $70,000 for a transgender comic in Peru . Well , because a regular comic would make fun of a transgender comic . Oh , so you can't have that . Let's see .

Speaker 3

Electric vehicle infrastructure . Approximately 2.5 million was designated for building electric vehicle chargers in Vietnam .

Speaker 4

Yeah , but there is no electricity .

Speaker 3

Interesting . That's stupid shit . I mean the pottery making in Morocco . So much money for that . They wanted the 20-something millions for some Sesame Street . Where was that Other country somewhere ? Yeah , some other country .

Speaker 4

It wasn't even called Sesame Street . What was it called ? I can't even remember the name , but you can look it up , it was funny .

Speaker 3

Yeah , I'm sure it was .

Speaker 4

Here was the other thing that we're bringing up . It was they . They found that they were using some money and I won't quote the price because I don't remember how much , but I know it was at least a half a million dollars .

Speaker 3

Okay .

Speaker 4

That they were using to see if dogs or no . No , no , I'm sorry . Rats who were sad used more cocaine than rats who were happy . Now my first question is how in the hell do you determine which rats are happy and which ones are sad ?

Speaker 3

To begin with , Maybe one's just jumping around , cocaine excluded .

Speaker 4

Am I that good ?

Speaker 3

that I know oh this rat's skipping .

Speaker 4

What's he saying ? No , he got into the cocaine last night . Yeah , that's what happened to him . He's not happy .

Speaker 3

No .

Speaker 4

Well , you've got to wonder are these things real ? Are they real ? But if you look them up , yes , America , they are , they're real .

Was this out ?

Speaker 4

in the parking lot . I was the one who videoed this whole thing how ?

Speaker 4

Anyway , anyway .

Speaker 3

See , squirrels do not like squeak .

Speaker 4

Well , they attack that little car . They think that it's another squirrel , I guess .

Speaker 3

I think we all heard it was the opposite , that he kind of went at the squirrel pretty much or just hit it on purpose , whatever .

Speaker 4

Anyways , there's the thing about him and the squirrel . He's got a thing about people who live in trees and do things in trees . He's got a lot of excuses . Yeah , like last week , the Keebler elves were his enemy . They live in trees .

Speaker 3

Speaking of excuses . Yeah , I looked up some of the worst excuses people have used . Oh okay , here's one people's excuses .

Speaker 4

I have one of those .

Speaker 3

I can't come in today . Mike Psychic told me not to leave the house . Uh-oh , can we really use that ? I would try it . What can they say ? One point oh yeah , that's pretty much it . Okay , how about , uh , I accidentally got on a plane instead of the train to work .

Okay , whenever you're ready . I'm doing a lot of research . I appreciate that I I have and I've been on hold for a little bit now , just , just , whenever you're ready we'll do that and and uh , I appreciate that , but I think the next time , right , we'll be close to , let's see , two weeks .

That's as far as . I'm concerned . Putting people in charge Until I see them actually taking things away from people that actually need it . I'm not going to believe all the bullshit I hear . Nope , Believe it for too damn long . They cried wolf too many times .

Speaker 4

Change the freaking ways the thing about our society right now is the most educated society in the world , because we have access to every single thing online . Here's the thing , but yet we're not the most educated , but yet we still have stupid people who won't do research .

Speaker 3

Asians have blown us away , man .

Speaker 4

So they have it's just truth . But anyway .

Speaker 3

Ever since Board of Education came on .

Speaker 4

Speaker 4

I don't know if I want snow .

Speaker 3

Well , if we get snow Right in the middle of the week sucks .
