Summary

In this episode, Kennedy and Jimmy Failla use the viral trend of stealing hotel breakfasts as a launchpad for an uproarious critique of modern American culture. They diagnose a "death of shame," discuss the new amorality of publicity, poke fun at both left- and right-wing politics, and envision their next career as AI-proof "breakfast cops." As always, their banter is peppered with unfiltered jokes, spontaneous pop culture riffs, and an underlying plea for a return to social accountability—delivered with a wink and a side of sausage gravy.

Transcript

[A]

Foreign. Hello, and welcome to this episode of Kennedy saves the world. Did you get your free breakfast at the Hampton Inn even though you're not staying there, you hobo? Jimmy Fayla is here. Have you been reading that story and seen the videos of people sneaking into hotels? Like, I pretend that I just go running and then I walk into the buffet. There's something about the story that drives me absolutely insane. Like something special needs to happen to people who are going to make free breakfasts. Go away.

[B]

Yeah, that. Ruining it for the rest of us.

[A]

Exactly.

[B]

Right? We got to bring back shame. We don't know shame.

[A]

That's the first thing I thought. Because you've been talking about there is no shame anymore. The death of shame.

[B]

We're living in a death of shame.

[A]

Ruin us all.

[B]

Guys, when you get done watching Kennedy and I save the world, world, one of the next two things in your feed will be an elected official dancing. That's just the world we live in now because we've given. We've given up any pretense of dignity.

[A]

Yeah. Tim walls clamps tampons to his nipples and makes them spin around. And that's normal now in Minnesota.

[B]

That's a. And if you don't like it, it's because you hate Somali people. We're like, wait, what? I didn't even mention Somali.

[A]

Yeah, you're racist.

[B]

Wait, what's even happening here? I'm so confused. I'm getting called all the names, but it's because there is no. There's no more civic engagement anymore. And I think that's one of the reasons. One of the things that encourages shame is because everything is so reductive now. Like, if you don't like this because you're a white supremacist, like, no. No, probably not. I just. I don't like this. Okay. But it brings us back full circle to why people feel comfortable storming into the Hampton Inn and using that waffle maker.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Okay. Because nobody. There's no societal check and balance anymore. If you go viral at that Hampton Inn for stealing the waffle maker, for making a bunch of waff waffles, and everyone's like, biggest loser ever. A month from now, you're selling theaters out. They're like, biggest loser ever comes to town. The bring your syrup tour. It's just. There it is. The whole no such thing as bad publicity. Like, that ship is sailed.

[A]

God, I didn't think I had to steal a waffle maker in order to sell tickets at the district Arts Center.

[B]

Oh.

[A]

In Norfolk, Nebraska.

[B]

Oh, if they have a Holiday Inn Express, you are two honey biscuits away from an arrest record.

[A]

I think April 10th.

[B]

All you need now is an arrest record.

[A]

Go to kennedynation.com and get your tickets and look at my arrest record. Because it's there, but everything's on there.

[B]

It drives me crazy. So take it a step further. There is a guy who posts Instagram videos of him using the bathroom in high end establishments. And he's like, that's like his art form is how to like get in there and pretend you're a customer and then go number two.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And it's. And it's got. It's like 10 million followers.

[A]

I mean, the best hack for doing that is running.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Because if you run into a hotel, like you're staying there in your workout gear, no one stops you.

[B]

Yeah. Because they're like, oh, he's going back to his room.

[A]

Yeah, exactly. I did that at the Four Seasons in D.C. during correspondence weekend. And I was looking around like, who the hell is staying here? Like, we're at the Hinkley Hilton. Like, this must be a high end gaze here.

[B]

Oh, now you're talking. Wow, is that the Ayatollah? Who's that guy down there? What's even happening? I love it.

[A]

Do you love the story about the gay Ayatollah?

[B]

I listen, forgive me, because I said this on television. I said, now I know why they're fighting so hard. Because Hormuz is the only straight they have down to one straight. This is all they got. They're going to lay it all in the singular.

[A]

The straight, not the straights. They don't have any straights. They got one straight.

[B]

Straight. Listen, any society that's criminalizing homosexuality is gay.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

That is the gayest thing you can do. Even if you don't think it is. It's the gayest thing you can do. Yeah.

[A]

We don't have any gays here in Iran. Gay free zone. No gays.

[B]

Let me call you back. I go to disco. I'm going to disco. Oh, that's crazy.

[A]

The hot pants aren't going to wear themselves. Don't go anywhere more. Kennedy saves the world right after this.

[B]

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

In every forum of our politics and certainly our breakfast politics.

[A]

Yeah. That there was something about that that just, it drove me crazy because it's like pulling up to a gas station and just like taking the pump off and just filling her up. Be like, look, free gas.

[B]

Yeah. Because it is. There's this general theft of services thing. And you want to know what I think this comes from? Is people are being taught as a generation of people being taught that if you don't have something, it's because other people are evil. Like, well, Hampton is a must be a billion dollar entity. What are they owned by the Hilton brand? So what are you really doing? It's, you know, you're sticking it to the man who's holding you down, the

[A]

guy who's working there at the breakfast nook. Like he doesn't care he's making minimum wage. I know he probably likes it,

[B]

but it's happening everywhere. And you know, I can always tell this is a big thing. A lot of the people who are the breakfast thieves, I see this on the road. They don't even commit to the bit and sit there because they're worried. So a lot of them. And this is how you are screwing it up for your fellow breakfast thieves. If you actually sit down and confidently eat your meal, then at least doesn't draw the attention of the fact that you stole the biscuits. But the minute you take a to go plate.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Everyone's got to know there could be. There should be no to goers. That's why buffets do that.

[A]

When you have the big security guard stopping people as they're walking out. Like, let me see your key card.

[B]

I love that. We need breakfast. Breakfast cup.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

That's what it's going to come down to. It's pretty soon it's going to have.

[A]

That is an AI proof profession.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

The Breakfast Cop.

[B]

Get him in there.

[A]

You don't even need a college degree.

[B]

I, I want that Schwarzenegger remake. You know we had Kindergarten Cop.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

That kid, that little kid's been arrested for transgenicide because he said boys have a penis, girls have a vagina. That's the most iconic line of Kindergarten Cop. That kid's actually been canceled for all the hate he caused. He's gone.

[A]

Yeah. Riley Gaines is his agent, but other than that.

[B]

But he's now been relegated to a series of breakfast thievery across the country.

[A]

Kamala Harris has already said, like, she's not picking him as running mate in 2028.

[B]

He's gone.

[A]

It's a big transphobe. It's gonna be problems. It's gonna be protesters at the dnc. They can't have that.

[B]

Rightfully so.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

I mean, that'll shake the abortion bus to its core. You know, these are indecent people. Do you remember they had an on demand abortion bus at the dnc?

[A]

Abortion bus, and no one actually used it. It was just like, fat Lena Dunham. Like, no, I wish I had an abortion. She's going on the abortion bus. Like, do you need an abortion now? Like, no one will me. I'm not.

[B]

Do you remember they went from safe, rare, and legal to three punch cards and the fourth one's free. And I'm like, what are you doing? This is disgusting. And you know what the worst one was? Since you took. You took it there. It's fine. Okay. This is great. Okay. This is the worst. This is.

[A]

I mean, I can think of something worse right now that I don't even want to say out loud.

[B]

Let's try to push ourselves here. Certainly it's only Monday. But hold on a second. It was. They made this video where, like, Ben Stiller was in it and a bunch of other celebrities. And the pretense is they were voting for Kamala and encouraging other dads to do so because she would protect abortion rights. And I listen, I don't doubt you

[A]

don't want to be dads.

[B]

That's what I mean.

[A]

You don't want to have kids. Our lives are horrible.

[B]

I'm just telling you, that is not the entree to his support that you think it is. It's just not.

[A]

Yeah, and then they had the dancing fetuses headline the third night of the

[B]

dnc, which was more livelier than Biden is. That's the worst part, is he went on after the dancing fetuses. He couldn't even get a prime time.

[A]

Exactly. They're like, oh, man. Next time we gotta close with the dancing fetuses.

[B]

What are we doing here? This is crazy.

[A]

Oh, President Pelosi is on her way. Go have a wonderful Monday. Hopefully you're full of smoked meats and biscuits and gravy from the Hilton Garden Inn.
