always, by my co-host, Mr. Miles Gray! Gravy, I'm amazed at the gray that you love me all the time. Gravy, I'm a great of the gray. I love poo. Doo, doo, doo, doo. I love poo?

I love poo. Thanks, Crispy Meme Donut. Christy Yamaguchi, man, because you know I love me some wings. Yes, you do. And Paul McCart. Uh-huh. And flats, right? Yeah, yeah. Not the legs. First I was referring to hot wings, Yes, you do. And Paul McCartney. And flats, right? Yeah, yeah. Not the legs. First I was

referring to hot wings and then I remembered that's the name of the band. So yes, that too. But we all know that Paul McCartney died in 1966. Yes, as we were about to talk about. Well, we are thrilled to be joined in our third seat by the very funny comedian and writer, Hannah Michaels. Hey. What's up? Welcome.

What's up? I love your purse first of Hey. Hi. What's up? Welcome. What's up? I love your purse, first of all. You have a rotary phone purse that has a receiver on the handle. Now that I see the cord, you can just straight up use that like a... Oh, yeah. Do you use that a lot? It can plug into my phone like with the phone jack. Right.

Oh, that's so cool. But not with these new iPhones. Yeah. God. Always with the phone jack. Right. Oh, that's so cool. But not with these new iPhones. Yeah. God. Always with the- Will the injustices never end? Always with the forced obsolescence of purses. Clearly the biggest injustice in the world is my purse.

It's up there. Well, we're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. But first, we're going to take our listeners through a few of the things we're talking about today. We're going to check in with Lil Tay. I don't know if you guys remember Lil Tay. Oh, I remember. The youngest flexer of the century?

The youngest flexer on YouTube and Instagram. We're going to check in with CPAC, which is apparently just an open mic sesh for conservatives. We're going to meet one of the characters who Michael Cohen introduced us to from the Trump orbit. And not, what was the other guy? Not Calamari. Matt Calamari. Not Matty Calamari. Did you see that tweet?

It was a crab smoking a cigarette. And it was like, Matt Calamari. I don't know that name any of you use. And we're going to talk about some crazy conspiracy theories that Amazon is spreading. Yeah, just all the wacky shit you can buy on Amazon. We even copped ourselves a thing or two just to make sure. Is it the QAnon book that we got coming or the Flat Earth? We got the QAnon book box set coming.

Right. We've got the Anti-V book box set coming. Right. We've got the anti-vaxxers encyclopedia coming. And the one we have right now is the flat earth proof that the world is not a moving globe. Because when people come into the office they need to know. Where our heads are at. Right. We're not here for the bullshit

fake narrative that you get in science class. But first, Hannah, we like to ask our guests, what's something from your search history that's revealing about who you are? Round poodles. Round poodles. Go on.

What more do you need to know, Michael? I don't know what that, like, they're overweight and round? They're cuts? They cut the hair to make them look? Ah, okay. The cut. Okay, there's one poodle sheep on Instagram, and I am obsessed with him.

Poodle sheep? I mean, that's what I call him. He's just a poodle. Oh, okay. He's just a poodle sheep on Instagram and I am obsessed with him. Poodle sheep? I mean, that's what I call him. He's just a poodle. Oh, okay. He's just a poodle that looks like sheep in Japan. His name is Goma. Okay. You can find him and he is a freak.

He is not a real dog. I refuse to believe that even though there are videos of him moving, this is my conspiracy. I refuse to believe that that is a real dog. Oh, wow. So it's not just like a bunch of little round things. They make him into an entire circle. Yeah, damn.

Wow. That is just a circle with legs popping out of it. That's wild. But it is so adorable. It's so stupid that I can only laugh like a moron. Right? Yeah. Well, you know, my people in Japan have a lot of time to obsess over how round the haircut is.

I mean, that's my therapy right there. Thank you to whoever owns this dog. And goma means sesame seed. Exactly. Yeah, that works. Thank you, Jack, for confirming that. That works with the color of the poodle. Wow.

That looks the most like a cartoon character that I've ever seen, an existing thing. With the legs all sort of tiny underneath, it reminds me of the Wallace and Gromit sheep. Yeah. How their bodies were just round and then sticks. And then sticks, yes. Just shooting out the bottom. Wow. People need to check that shit out.

What is something you think is underrated besides round poodles? Underrated? Garfield products. Garfield products. You are wearing a Garfield t-shirt. I am, I am. Oh, whoa, I didn't realize that. Holy shit, that is a fucking nightmarish depiction of Garfield.

So it's almost a photorealistic doggie. Six gigantic pecs. But then, yeah, six pecs with nipples on each one. And veins shooting out of it like it's on HGH or any of the past few Sylvester Stallone movies where he has his shirt off. Yeah, Katie Golden drew this. Oh, did she?

Yes. Katie Golden, host of our sister podcast, Creature Feature, season two coming soon. Are you a Garfield fan? Or are you just like weird depictions of beloved coaching kids? I had that arc that a lot of kids our age had where, you know, I was really, really into Garfield and really loved Garfield. Was that an arc people had? Okay, kids who were not allowed TV had.

Oh, because you were like reading the comic? Yeah. Okay. oh because you were like reading the comic yeah and then realized oh this isn't funny and then looped back around to being funny because of how insane it was right my favorite Garfield thing is the conspiracy theory that Garfield

did 9-11 right I keep saying things like yep yeah but I have no idea what you're talking about it's reflexive if you look up the strip that came out on Yeah, but I have no idea what you're talking about. It's reflexive. He doesn't listen. If you look up the strip that came out on September 10th, 2011, the day before 9-11, it's just John on the phone going, what?

He did what? Jesus Christ. Oh, wow. That's all it is. He what? Click, click. Could you hold for a moment? I have another call coming in. Thanks. What? He what? Click, click. Could you hold for a moment? I have another call coming in.

Thanks. What? He what? I've been a busy boy. Yep. Oh, Bill Murray. Wasn't that it? Did Bill Murray do the voice ever?

Bill Murray played Garfield, voice acted Garfield, because the gentleman who wrote and directed the Garfield live action movie was named, I think, Ethan Coen or Joel Coen. It was not one of the Coen brothers, but he thought it was. Are you serious? Yeah, Bill Murray thought it was one of the Coen brothers. See? He was like, wow, I mean, I guess.

That's why you need reps. That's one of those times where I'm sure he wished he just didn't have an answering machine that does all his business work. That is, yeah, Bill Murray famously does not have representation in Hollywood. Wow. I didn't realize he goes, oh, hell yeah, Joel Cohen, I'm there.

Exactly. And he's like, what the fuck is this? That's amazing. What is something you think is overrated? John. So I was trying to think about this for a long, long, long time. And then my mom texted me that my grandpa is probably brain dead right now. He had a stroke last night.

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. That's why I was late today. That's horrible. I'm sorry. And apparently what I think is overrated is my fucking grandpa. Wow. With the hot fucking take. Wow. What do what I think is overrated is my fucking grandpa. Wow. With the hot fucking take. Wow.

What do you mean he's overrated? I don't feel anything. Oh, no. I'm supposed to feel stuff. I think you're in shock right now. I wouldn't go that far and say overrated. Yeah, that's tough, man, because my grandmother is struggling with dementia too, and she's sort of at that, she's about to cross over to sort of not very able to do much on her own.

But yeah, maybe she's overrated too. I don't know. This is how we cope, right? Were you very close to your grandfather? He was kind of a dick. Oh, okay. But no, that makes me worse for saying that. No.

Sure, sure. He loved us. Yeah. Yeah, there you go. There, he loved us us he's the reason you're here right now yes that's true for that yeah i guess shout out to all grandparents the reason we're all here yeah and great grandparents too if you want to go further back and great great grandparents if you want to go even further back uh and great okay if you want to go further back and adam and eve if you want to go the furthest back uh that that is adam and eve were five generations ago so yeah it's accurate

what you just said yep my grandma's great-great-grandma is eve wow the rapper from rough riders uh what is a myth what is something people think is true you know to be false? Oh, what is something people think is true that I know to be false? Ooh, this is a heavy one. That PTSD has to emerge from one giant event. Okay. Yeah, that's a good one. It could be a lot of little things. Yeah.

That ruin your brain. Sure. And that's fun to find out. Are you typically finding yourself coming up with or meeting people who just, that's their perception of how PTSD works? Yeah, or that it only comes from, or that it only emerges from wartime. Right, sure, yeah, yeah. People who've been through war. And it's like brains are different.

They react to things differently. And some brains are super sensitive for some reason. So it's just, it's a very, psychology is insane. Yeah. And the people who do it are also generally insane. People who do.

You come from a family of psychologists? Oh yeah. Okay. Recall this in your standup material. Right. Yeah. Well, parents,

what's that like having two psychologist parents? The question you're probably asked allup material. Right. Yeah, well, parents. What's that like having two psychologist parents? The question you're probably asked all the time when people find this out. Great now. Yeah, right? I'll say that. It's great now. Growing up, it was – okay, I remember one time my dad pulled over on the 10 freeway. Thank you.

Let people know you're a local. On the 10 cruising. Yeah, you're going east or west on the 10? West You know is not easy to do Yeah, to pull over on the 10 Or smart To ask his unconscious

If we should rent a movie Like that was so crucial That he had to meditate And ask his like Jungian unconscious If we could rent a movie, and we did. We got Dunstan Checks In. And that has forever changed your life trajectory. Oh, I fucking loved Dunstan Checks In.

It was good. That shit used to always be on HBO, that, Baby's Day Out. I used to fucking watch that all the time as a kid. Anyway, just wanted I vibe with you. Wait, so how do you ask your subconscious if you should rent it? Would he just have to be silent and be a little more introspective and then just be like, okay kids, we're renting

Dunstan checks. Or it was more to be like, can we go to Blockbuster? Yes or no? Let me ask my subconscious. Okay. Just as I want to wrap my head around this methodology for determining whether or not you want to go, is it just that he wanted to honor what his true subconscious desire was going to be? Like I'm curious what the purpose of being like, hold on, I need to consult my subconscious real quick.

They were super anxious about everything. Everything, especially media for some reason. Hence, no TV growing up. What they didn't know is that they were going to be exposing you to Garfield, which would ruin you. Oh, 100%. Are you kidding? And now you're a 9-11 truther.

Right. It's like Garfield did it. Yes. But that is, I mean, I think there's some validity to your dad's method. Maybe not pulling over on the 10, but maybe go to the exit before and park in a gas station. But there's evidence that we only have access to 10% of our working mind. And a lot of the shit that's going on is happening underneath the surface of our unconscious and so you know sitting back and like letting your whole mind produce an answer is probably a good idea well

oh sure but i mean correct me if i'm wrong does do we need that just to figure out if you're trying to go to blockbuster to rent a fucking tape yeah that's the is it that kind of thing it's more like should i get this like corrective surgery or buy this gigantic thing? I feel like it's a pretty low-risk decision, right? Yes. Might have also been a teachable moment where he's showing his daughter, you know, it's valid to honor your unconscious even in the day-to-day. Oh, okay.

I'm speaking for the parents. I'm speaking for the parents. He knew what kind of daughter he had, and he knew that I would never do that because he did it. Right, because if I was with my dad, I'm like, can we go to Blockbuster? He'd be like, you got money? Right. That's how we figured it out, and I'm like, no.

He's like, okay then. So we're going to keep it moving to Petco. What would you get at Petco? Just the free bowl of water? Yeah, exactly. For me. Mousy look thirsty. Let's head to Petco? Just the free bowl of water? Yeah, exactly. For me. Mousy look thirsty. Let's head to Petco.

Lap it up, homie. They do have that free water fountain. They do? Back by the bathrooms. Yeah, which they usually use to fill up bowls of water. Oh, wow. Yeah, we just go in there with a Home Depot bucket. Fill that up and keep it moving.

We got our fresh water for the week. All right, guys, let's talk about Lil Tay. Speaking of myths. You know, remember Lil Tay? Legends. Do you remember her rise to fame? Vaguely. Okay, so for people who don't remember Lil Tay,

she was a young Asian girl who was talking like she was from the hood and was always popping up with, well, Vicky, you know, she was that white girl who, you know, I'm black, y'all, so it don't matter how, you know, that wild segment of Instagram. As a refresher, you may recognize this voice of Lil Tay. If you're balling in the IA, I dropped 200 racks on this car, and I'm only nine years old. I got the keys to this car.

See this? These are butterfly wings. Y'all haven't seen this car and I'm only nine years old. I got the keys to this car. See this? These are butterfly wings. Y'all haven't seen this car in your lives. I've been driving this around the Beverly Hills area and I'm only nine years old. I ain't got no license, but I ain't ever gonna get no license. She's nine.

She's nine. She's around the Beverly Hills area. Yeah. Saying wild shit. Yeah, and talking like a true wannabe bling bling era rapper. Right. She used to do a lot of money phone type holding thousands of dollars. Yes, like almost exclusively.

I don't think I ever saw her without a giant stack of money in her hand. No, no, no. She would cease to exist. Her main thing. I don't know that everybody knows who Whoa Vicky is. Do you know who Whoa Vicky is? Whoa Vicky is another problem on Instagram. She's more like a teenager.

She's kind of in the Peshme outside girl. Whoa Vicky. It's like white girls who outwardly project blackness, but in a way that is like terrible inauthentic appropriating and offensive and racist very offensive and racist and she yeah and she claims she's black right too which is on top of it i'm she may have pushed back now but at the time they were like what are you doing it's like you know y'all don't know i'm actually black you know i got my 23 and me and it said she talks like 50 Cent. Right.

She saw Rachel Dolezal and was like, all right. She's like, that's the wave. What if that was like a cartoon character? Yeah. Like a fucking wrestling persona. Yeah. So they were part of a disgusting Instagram and everyone was at the, in the beginning, it was kind of a funny thing about Lil Tay.

Cause they're like, what is this wild nine-year-old talking about? She drives cars. And then she kind of, things went silent very quickly. Yeah, she just kind of disappeared. Yeah. So there have been a couple articles sort of catching up with Lil Tay, uncovering the truth about Lil Tay. People have been doing some internet sleuthing for the past like six months. I think she disappeared from the

internet back in like june or something yeah um and it turns out uh she this is gonna shock people uh she is from not the most stable parenting situation uh what yeah her mom is uh so the way that she was able to get like next to all these expensive cars and in these like giant mansions as her mom was a real estate agent who was using her boss's car and like these other properties she was supposed to be trying to sell to like make it look like she had all this all this stuff without any kind of actual talent or backstory explaining the source of the wealth like it was never like, here are all my albums that I've put out.

It's just like, I'm Lil Tay. I'm the youngest flexer on earth. Fuck you. And it was like, okay. Fine. As she became famous, her father reached out who was divorced and was like...

That's when the dads come in. He kind of has a point in the sense that she's out there Of course he did. Who is divorced and was like, you know. That's when the dads come in. Right. But he was also like, you know, he kind of has a point in the sense that she's out there like saying really offensive shit. Right. And she's nine and her mother had taken her out of school to pursue this dream. And there's actually an incredible video that I think we have the audio from. Yeah. So a lot of people were like this just is very inauthentic a lot of people like her her parents are putting her up to this or whatever

and then there was there's this video uh where you can clearly hear it's her brother off camera essentially coaching her to talk all this shit little tabby popping on youtube right now POPPING ON YOUTUBE RIGHT NOW! No, no, no, no, no, no. What are you doing? You need to be like, more ignorant. You have to be like, Ooh! Lil Tay! Lil Tay out here! Wait, what did he say again? You still irrelevant like I said last time! Wait...

What do I say? Oh... I know, and it's... Like, say? Oh. I know. And it's like. Line. Yeah. Ignorant ass bitch. Okay.

Right. Ignorant ass bitch. Okay. Thank you. But she's just a little nine-year-old girl who doesn't know. Yeah. Her brother or some family member. More ignorant?

Yeah. Make it more ignorant. Come the fuck on. So yeah. It's just this fucked up persona and yeah there's a lot of interviews now because people like what happened there her instagram got like hacked is what they claimed and all of her videos were deleted and then there was just like one post that just said help me right people like what the fuck is going on and then we come to find out

her father basically like went to the equivalent of like child protective services and in uh british columbia and was like had the court order her back to vancouver because like i can't have my child running wild in the streets acting like this and she's back and it's weird this is where it gets odd because the mother claims that he's just like out to take her money but there really isn't money yeah i saw that interview she's claiming both First, the father's out to take money. Several questions later, we have made no money. Right. So what money? And also that he's not interested enough in her career. So it's like she's both stage mom and also claiming that the

father is a stage mom and then also claiming that they never made any money. The mom definitely comes off as, you know, it's obviously just a snapshot, but comes off as somewhat suspicious. There's like. But the dad doesn't come off great either, just in terms of not being involved until now. Right. And then, but his thing is like, it's weird. It's almost like the dad has a better mind to be the stage parent than the mom because

he's like, I had to trademark Lil Tay. She didn't even trademark Lil Tay. And his whole thing was like, if you're going to go and do this and make a career for her, at least do the bare minimum from a business standpoint that it's protected and you can actually profit properly off of it. But at the same time, it's like, wait, are your gripes that it wasn't copywritten? Right. I'm sorry. They didn't get the copyright. Someone on Twitter was like, you can only say copywritten.

Anyway, Missy Elliott said that in a song, so catch me outside. And, you know, it seems like that was more of the issue. There were also claims that, like, his sister, her aunt, or his cousin had, like, babysat her and just locked her in a closet. It was his girlfriend's sister. Or his girlfriend's sister. Yeah. his cousin had like babysat her and just locked her in a closet and she had gone out or his girlfriend's sister yeah and that was like the closest thing that i saw to some kind of abuse but i it's no one actually sounds believable in all of it like yeah there's no there's nobody good here that she can go to it's it's kind of terrifying there are no good parents yeah right

it's in this scenario yeah it's pretty familiar if you've ever been involved with or know people who are involved in a horrible child care, child custody thing because it's just both sides just using the kid as leverage. And then because Lil Tay is with her mom in the thing, she's like, yeah, no, the father's bad. I don't want to talk about it. She calls him by her father's last name.

His name's Chris Hope. And she's like, well, Hope never was interested in blah, blah, blah. Right, right. So it's just impossible to know. I mean, at the end of the day, I think the only person who's being harmed here is Claire, what's Lil Tay's real name. Right. Because she says she can't go to school.

But then she's like, I can't go to school because I'm too famous. And it's like, hold on go to school cuz I'm too famous and it's like hold on right wait hold on is that the concern or is it that you could be bullied at school or is it that you are too famous or that one of your parents are saying you're too famous and that they want you working full-time on your career yeah you know we're gonna talk a couple times in today's episode about sort of the Internet being an unregulated place where these crazy ideas or bad ideas can bubble to the surface. And this is one place where the fact that there is no barrier to entry for fame is probably not a great thing. Because you just exploit your kid into making them a spectacle. But that was always the case.

Yeah, that's true. I mean, like, child stars always existed. Yeah, they did. Yeah, this one seems like, because they ask her in one of the interviews, you know, whose idea was it? And she wasn't really convinced it was even her own. Right. She's sort of like, oh, I think I wanted to do it this time yeah it's like and my brother thought we thought we could do it

it seems like her brother may have told his mom like hey maybe there's a way to get real ignorant on instagram and give her some kind of weird 15 minutes uh but you know it's uh you know i hope she can uh grow up to be a healthily functioning adult person. Because you do not, I'll tell you this, Claire, you don't want to go down this little tape road. It is not going to last very long. Right. All right. We're going to take a quick break.

We'll be right back. Daphne Caruana Galizia was a Maltese investigative journalist who on October 16, 2017, was murdered. There are crooks everywhere you look now. The situation is desperate.

I know I'll go down in history. People are talking about women's basketball just because of one single game. Every great player needs a foil. I ain't really near them. Why is that? I just come here to play basketball every single day and that's what I focus on. From college to the pros, Clark and Reese have changed the way we consume women's sports. Angel Reese is a joy to watch. She is unapologetically Black.

I love her. What exactly ignited this fire? Why has it been so good for the game? And can the fanfare surrounding these two supernovas be sustained? This game is only going to get better because the talent is getting better. This new season will cover all things sports and culture. Listen to Naked Sports

Somebody pointed out to us on Twitter that Chick-fil-A apparently has some association with conservative politics. I had no idea. I didn't know that they were anti-gay. Right. Shocking. But yes, so this latest tidbit was from a really great round couch discussion, I guess, with Donald Trump Jr., Jerry Falwell Jr., Jerry Falwell Jr.'s wife. And, you know, they're just having good yucks about transgender

people, guns babies, the Me Too movement so I mean just buckle up for this yuck fest Three weeks ago tomorrow we had our second granddaughter and like I said a few weeks ago and her name is Reagan, how presidential

is that? Beautiful Reagan Elise I lobbied for Trump but it was a little too soon, maybe. Trump is not the most feminine name, but we can make it. Hey, we're going to take a page out of the liberal playbook. It doesn't matter. You know, it doesn't matter. We can identify how we want. Oh, by the way, she is a daughter. She's our granddaughter. She's a and we're raising her as a girl. She's beautiful. We're not letting her have a daughter. She's our granddaughter. We're raising her as a girl. She's beautiful.

We're not letting her have a choice. There will be outrage tomorrow that you decided for her. God makes the choice of what the babies are going to be, and God decided she would be a girl. You don't have to raise them as a girl. She's got a little baby doll right under her arm every second. My boys always had guns in their hands. That didn't that's not something hashtag me too that's not something you teach them that's something they're born with but what the fuck what was that the hashtag me too

from donald trump jr okay well we know you're speechless yeah we know who that's gonna fall on next i guess guess. Yeah. I like how she goes. Whenever a guy is just a little too resistant and a little too deliberately misunderstanding, I'm like, ooh. What does he think he was saying there? I think he was just trying to say, I was raised that way also. But then he tried to make it a

me too joke. Rather than just saying, I as well was raised. Because I think he was a pretty avid hunter. I thought he was saying boys with guns. See, that's the part. He's not even thinking. He just wanted to say me too. I as well.

And he said hashtag me too, and with that thing, the picture that comes up on Twitter when you do that. So it works on like 30 different levels. Don't give him that credit. It doesn't work on 30 different levels. He just literally was going to say me too and just said, decide to make it hashtag me too.

And it's great because if you watch the video, so he's already among the dumbest looking human faces to ever have existed on the planet. And he, after he says hashtag me too, he gets this like big smile on his face.

Like looking around, like fucking killed him with the young people with that verbally voice, like voicing the word hashtag. Right. I have not heard that since Degrassi. And he's just getting nothing. Yeah. Yeah.

Everyone's just like, I mean, of course the son and daughter-in-law of the man who called the Teletubbies gay is out here like, I like how she goes, she's not going to have a choice, but God makes the decision. Wait, so is it your choice or God? Oh, wait, or are you God in your mind? A little bit of a slip up there. Yeah, it's so interesting because Meghan Markle, they were just saying, too, or I don't know, according to, you know.

The Sun. Well, no, it's actually Vanity Fair. Oh, Vanity Fair. But she has told, Meghan Markle has told friends that she really wants to avoid sort of gender stereotypes. She says, quote, Meghan has been talking to some of her friends about the birth and how she and Harry plan to raise their baby. Her exact word was fluid. She said they plan to raise their child with a fluid approach to gender and they won't be imposing any stereotypes.

I mean, I know a lot of people who kind of do that already, where they're like, I don't have to dress my daughter in pink. They don't have to play with dolls. Like, let them dress however the fuck they want. Let them play with whatever the fuck they want. Yeah, totally.

I just like this idea. I mean, it's, oh, the fear that must be in these grandparents' hearts that any misstep could make this person their own human being who might not be gender conforming according to their idea of what gender norms are is probably so terrifying. They're like, let me super glue this Barbie to your fucking head. Right. And just please. It really makes you wonder about them in their lives, too.

Wasn't this a panel of juniors? Right. People who are eternal disappointments to their fathers. Right. Fail children. And they are just the fact that we're going to be reasonable. She's not going to have a fucking choice. And what she is just an amazing revelation.

It's like you're the grandparents also. Right. So are you just going to just also meddle in your children's rearing of their children? Yeah. Of course they are. Yeah. Do your kids have a choice, Jack? Of?

What they want to be? Who they want to be? Oh, you do that Korean ceremony where they have to pick their destiny, right? That's the closest y'all get to being like, this is your destiny. That's right. What's the ceremony called? It's called Dol. Dol. Yeah. And for those of y'all who to being like, this is your destiny. That's right. What's the ceremony called? It's called Dol. Dol.

Yeah. And for those of y'all don't know, I think it's fascinating. What is the one year birthday? One year birthday is the biggest birthday in Korea. You got to make the biggest birthday one they'll not remember. But it is actually a great ceremony. And at a certain point during the party, you lay out all these different items on the floor and let the child loose and they go to one of them. And that is what they're raised as going forward.

So he was raised as a guitar. Yeah, he picked a guitar, so he will be raised as a guitar. We will keep him in a carrying case. Tune him every morning. Right, exactly. No, it's silly. as a guitar we will keep him in a carrying case and tune him every morning right exactly uh no it's silly and the you know my wife's parents don't remember what she picked it's just like a fun thing but people when they when people hear it and like you know some people who like had never been to a dole before came to this and they were like so is it really

like you're really gonna like right right take guitar lessons it's like no no just some instrument he's gonna have to play it'll be in if it's like any asian child it will be piano first right of course like i had to and i hated but i think you know it's like the dalai lama thing right doesn't like the dalai lama have to pick like if they figure, I know in some Buddhist high up position. Did you get that from a King of the Hill episode? No, no, no. There is something where like they have to pick something that used to belong to the former Dalai Lama.

And like if they choose that. Yeah. Is that from King of the Hill? They, I mean, it might be a real thing. They did make that Bobby in King of the Hill. Bobby was the Dalai Lama. Oh, that's right. He picked the thing.

That's amazing. Yeah, maybe I am conflating real life with that. I have a feeling, though, that is true. I mean, they probably wrote it in. I'm sure someone from the internet, one of our listeners, will umactually.com me on Twitter. It is a thing that i mean just uh joking aside it's a tough thing because we're so steeped in like cultural traditions it's hard to like divorce all of the gender conforming things from your interaction with your kids like uh when my

nephew was out he fell and like hit his face and like he had like a kind of badass looking cut. And I was like, oh, man, but don't worry about it. He was crying and I was like, oh, but it looks tough. And then I was like, oh, actually, my sister was like, we try not to encourage tough. Thanks, Jack, for fucking my kid up. You look like shit. Remember that. You look tough.

You look vulnerable. Right. And that. Yes. You don't look tough. Exactly. You look vulnerable. Right. And that's okay. But you got to be careful and thoughtful when you're interacting with your kids or just make them whatever you want them to be with super glue. If you're the Becky Falwells of the world, just force your child into that. Let's talk about a guy who goes by the name of Ra. Ra Ra.

Ra Ra. Okay. So. One of the characters from the Coen testimony. Dude, Ra-Ra. Ra-Ra. Okay, so. One of the characters from the Cohen testimony. So there was, what's his name again? Matt Calamari. Right. Who everybody was getting real excited over on Twitter.

And there was another, you know, this was sort of in passing, but during Michael Cohen's testimony, he mentioned there was a scheme where Trump used a straw bidder at an auction in the Hamptons of like a bunch of portraits that were paintings of people. And they hired this man, Stuart Rahr, R-A-H-R, to bid like at the very end. So Trump's portrait was going to be auctioned off at the very last item to be auctioned. of Stuart Rahr was to put in the highest bid, no matter what the person before you bid, just make the highest bid so that Donald Trump's portrait sells for the highest possible amount of any other item at the auction. I mean, it's pretty straightforward.

It's a disservice to schemes to call it a scheme. It's just Trump was like, hey, rich friend, but make it look like a lot of people want to buy my portrait. Exactly. And eventually this man, he bid the $60,000. Trump's thing was the highest bid thing, mission complete, and then he was reimbursed. Trump tweeted about it.

Of course he did. Yeah, there's like a great tweet from back then being like, hey, just heard that apparently my portrait went for the highest amount of money. Oh, really? Yeah, yeah. Of course. Of course he did. I didn't know it was in the Twitter era. Oh, yeah, yeah. So anyway, this guy Stuart Rohr.

So a few people started kind of looking into this guy. And he is fucking, of course he's caught up with the Trumps because no one is a regular person who's in this orbit. Right. First of all, he has AKAs like us, like Jesus and Mero, like every great superhero, like any public figure who's a god. One is Ra-Ra or the number one king of all fun. Repeatedly would describe himself as number one king of all fun. I don't know how many like superlative sort of things you have to put it. Number one king of all fun. that's three levels of superlative

number one king which is the usually the highest and then of all yeah and of course the number one king of all fun is a great guy uh so great that he has received a lifetime ban from the sushi chain nobu wow why do you ask well one time uh when he was at one of the Midtown Manhattan locations, he cursed out a manager. According to this manager, she says, quote, he called me the C word and said he would kill me in response to a conflict in which Rahr allegedly confronted restaurant staff after not being able to sit at his favorite table. Yeah. Oh.

So the King of fun comes in. I'm sorry, your table isn't available. I'm going to fucking kill you. Right. Like what? Uh-huh. So he's a straw man bidder. He's a billionaire.

He like owned a pharmacy and then used that position to, he realized that he could buy up a bunch of medicine and wait for people to need that medicine really bad and then charge people extra money for that medicine, essentially. So that's how he made his billion. Oh, fun. At the time. Regular Shkreli over here. Yeah, exactly.

Back in 2013, he was involved in a divorce that cost him $250 million. he was involved in a divorce that cost him 250 million dollars and so to let off some steam he began furiously sending a sex tape of himself out to various acquaintances which is such a weird thing to do furiously yeah i mean that's weird i wonder what really happened for the uh the journalist who wrote this article to describe it as furiously sending. Not just like distributing his own sex tape to a queen. Furiously?

Like, is it just all caps in the body? Check out this shit. Check this video out of me fucking. Yeah. I mean,

that's how anyone would get over a divorce, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then when they asked about it, he says, I was in France.

I was single. Number one king of fun. Of all fun. I'm sorry. All fun. Don't want to disrespect the title of the throne. Oh, damn. I was already out when you said number one king of all fun.

Yeah, I was right. Anyone who has a title. Have you ever met anyone who's sort of given themselves a nickname that's like, I remember a dude who called himself the king of Tustin. Right. And Tustin is in Orange County. Okay himself the King of Tustin. Right. And Tustin is in Orange County. Oh, that Tustin. Yeah. Nobody wants to be the King of Tustin.

Nobody wants to be the King of any of the Tustins, but that one's worse. What are the other Tustins? There's one in Arizona. Oh, okay. Yeah. I'm sure that one might be nicer. Or Tustin. Tustin. Okay. No, there's both, I think. Okay. Someone on Twitter, please tell me that I'm very wrong about Arizona. Someone's like, I'm the King of Tustin, Okay. No, there's both, I think. Okay. Yeah. Someone on Twitter, please tell me that I'm very wrong about Arizona.

Someone's like, I'm the king of Tustin, Arizona. I just became immediate. I just got worried that I was mispronouncing Tucson. Yeah, yeah. No, I should be very wrong. Yeah, we were in college, a group of kids who wanted to be the, were kind of the happier, more happy-go-lucky group of guys who threw parties than my group of friends called themselves

the Axis of Fun. Oh my God. Which is weird that you would go with Axis because it has the Nazi Japan. Well, there's Harry Nakamura, fucking Tommy Gilberti, and Adolf Hitler. Right. It's the crew. Unfortunate name. there's Harry Nakamura. Right. Fucking Tommy Gilberti. Right. And Adolf Hitler.

Right. It's the crew. Unfortunate name. It's the posse. Wait, what do you mean? You said they were the happy-go-lucky, and you're like, unlike my group. What the fuck? Who the fuck were you guys?

Oh, the sad boy crew? No. No, we were just- We were the mopers. We were around too much. Oh, okay. You know. Oh, so were they kind of like really all smiles having parties?

Like, hey, man, welcome. We'll be acting some fun. Yeah. No black people. Right. Oh, shit. I gotta leave this motherfucking party. Let's talk about some of Trump's other homies.

Because Sean Hannity, after Trump just fucking nailed it in Vietnam, Sean Hannity interviewed him at the end of last week, and he might have gotten himself indicted. Or not indicted. He might have gotten himself subpoenaed. For sure. Yeah. I mean, look, him and Trump love each other.

And I think because they're so comfortable, they forget that maybe they're on TV, and they're not just felleting each other with their ideas. Because in this instance, they just did a little bit of what I like to call GLP improv, where Sean Hannity gave a weird out in terms of why Michael Cohen is lying, and Trump got to yes and that. So I guess just listen, keep in mind, Sean Hannity was a client of Michael Cohen's, like named in court, but he somehow even tries to dispel that myth. But anyway,

listen to this interaction and we'll talk about it. You know, I was kind of dragged in a little bit into the Michael Cohen issue. I interviewed him many times on radio and TV. He was never my attorney. He did apologize to me for his attorney saying that in court. But I can tell you personally, he said to me at least a dozen times that he made the decision on the payments and he didn't tell you.

He told me personally. He did, and he made the decision. And remember this, he's an attorney. Uh-huh, yes, and? And he did it. And remember this, he's an attorney well whatever the wherever that was going was not going anywhere it's just funny because trump seems surprised when he says that yeah yeah yeah yeah oh yeah of course he did because he he did it i didn't do it and remember

this oh god if if if he was not hann's attorney, that means his client list was a total of two. Right. Yeah. Elliot Broidy and Donald Trump. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, here's the thing. Like, great. You want to now say you want to completely contradict the testimony Cohen gave under oath. So that will more than likely get you come to Capitol for free pass uh and talk to us on the record because you're saying what now because this person already he pleaded guilty to making these payments

right at the direction of donald trump right you know if it was his idea why did trump fucking pay him back personally with a check right there are so many things that are just there right in front of you that already negate everything Sean Hannity is claiming. Right. So maybe, I mean, maybe his thought is just that there's no way to contradict it.

Like there's no legal way that you can prove. So he could go to Capitol Hill and continue to lie. He told me 12 times. Yeah. 12 times. I counted. Really? Did you record them? to lie. He told me 12 times. 12 times. I counted. Really?

Did you record them? How do you know it was 12 times? That is a lot of times for anyone to tell you anything. 12 times. It's like, yeah, dude, we already talked about this. And I counted each of the times. That's a lot. One, two.

Why are you counting quietly in your head? It's very specific to remember. Right. I don't even know. Has anyone ever told anybody something that many times? I can't even think of a moment where, unless it's like somebody like, remember to bring back paper towels. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Sure. Yeah. Yeah. Parenting. It's a parenting technique. I don't have boobs. Right.

That that my ex-boyfriend told me many times. I did not. I did not say that he had them. Oh, but that's interesting. I remember hearing a bunch of times. Is it he would say would say that yeah that's the only thing i remember ever hearing he would keep telling you that he doesn't have boobs i i never said he did right he's like i don't have boobs so i don't know why you would say that sounds like a very secure man i'm sure that relationship flourished yeah very much so yeah well uh well uh for the record, Sean Hannity doesn't have boobs either.

They're fucking pecs because he does MMA, bro. So fuck what you heard or saw right in front of you with your own eyes. But yeah, this is, again, just another thing where you get two idiots lying to each other out loud. It's on TV. And now, like, he hasn't officially been summoned yet. But a lot of the Democrats who saw this were like, oh, wow. OK, yeah, he'll probably be hearing from us very shortly. Yeah, it's stunning to me how many people are willing to go down with the Trump ship.

Right. Well, do you think they just don't know yet that it's bad? I just think that he's willing to lie under oath on Trump's behalf. Right. Yeah. So he's just he doesn't oath on Trump's behalf. Right. Yeah. So he's just, he doesn't give a shit that the Democrats are going to ask him to testify. And it probably isn't a thing that people are going to be able to contradict. Yeah.

Well, I mean. It's hard to prove that something never happened. Right. Yeah. Well, at least we can prove the earth is flat. Right. Yes. Later in the episode, we'll get to that.

Wait, are you saying the Earth is flat because you think I have boobs? I don't have boobs, dude. I don't. If that's what you're implying, I don't have boobs. All right, we're going to take a quick break. You guys gave it much more context than he did. Daphne Caruana Galizia was a Maltese investigative journalist who on October 16, 2017, was murdered.

I'm Carrie Champion, and this is Season 4 of Naked Sports, where we live at the intersection of sports and culture. Up first, I explore the making of a rivalry, Kaitlyn Clark versus Angel Reese.

I know I'll go down in history. People are talking about women's basketball just because of one single game. Every great player needs a foil. I ain't really near them. Why is that? I just come here to play basketball every single day, and that's what I focus on.

From college to the pros, Clark and Reese have changed the way we consume women's sports. Angel Reese is a joy to watch. She is unapologetically black. I love her. What exactly ignited this fire? Why has it been so good for the game?

And can the fanfare surrounding these two supernovas be sustained? This game is only going to get better because the talent is getting better. This new season will cover all things sports and culture. Listen to Naked Sports on the Black Effect Podcast Network, iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. The Black Effect Podcast Network is sponsored by Diet Coke. And we're back. And let's talk about all the good shit that you can find on Amazon, you guys.

Yeah. If you search vaccine on Amazon because you can buy your own vaccine. If you're trying to find a book that will give you more information on vaccinations and you've heard that there's a vaccination controversy because it's shocking how many celebrities are anti-vaxxers now like Robert De Niro's an anti-vaxxer he's an anti-vaxxer yeah Tony Braxton anti-vaxxer Tony Braxton yeah oh my god unvaccinate my heart but when you do it so a recent search for vaccine on amazon yield a search page dominated by anti-vaxxer content of the 18 books and movies listed on the search page 15 contained anti-vaxxer content um and that's kind of fucked up yeah because people if they're really you know you

if you're on amazon for books you're assuming they're books based on fucking reality. Right. And it could be someone who's like, I would love to see some kind of like an actual doctor's like a book about the importance of vaccinations. And then if you're overwhelmed with that. Right. How are you supposed to fucking filter like what is real? What is not? Okay.

So I'm just realizing this. They wouldn't list my book about mom sex right but they got this yeah what's your boy hold on well hold on now your book about mom sex we uh it's from devastator press it's called mom presents i think these guys are hot stuff and we found a bunch of stock photo dads who look really out of it and we wrote little bios and they wouldn't put that on Amazon? Uh-uh. For what was the reason? I do not know.

Wow. Maybe needed more anti-vaxxer content. Yeah. I mean, yes. Yeah, we did kind of fail there. We did fail there. We added some conspiracies about Pong. Oh.

That wasn't enough. That wasn't enough. Wasn't fiery enough of a, no, no, that guy wouldn't even sue us. We were so upset. We said he, we said you recite the Magnavox lawsuit to keep yourself from coming.

Sue us. Right. Uh, and the book titles are designed to seem sciencey. Like one of the books is Miller's Review of Critical Vaccine Studies. 400 important scientific papers summarized by parents and researchers.

They get you at the end because why are you having parents? Summarized by a parent. The Vaccine-Friendly Plan. Dr. Paul's Safe and Effective Approach to Immunity and Health from Pregnancy through Your Child's Teen Years. And both of those, by the way, feature Amazon's bestseller tag, and both of them have anti-vaxxer content.

I mean, at this point, you should know anything with that bestseller tag, book or not, is bullshit. Yep. Right. If you buy anything, whenever I see, even if I'm looking for fucking USB cable, I'm like, nope, not that one. Yeah. Because that's like the one that everyone has,

and it probably just melts down very quickly. a USB cable. I'm like, nope, not that one. Yeah. Because that's like the one that everyone has and it's probably just melts down very quickly. Anyway, but yeah, it is interesting to have it get sort of these little tags of validation. Like it's a bestseller. It's next to books that might have actually been written with like legitimate medical research. And then you have these other ones vaxxed from cover up to catastrophe. Well, yeah, that's actually a movie that's on Amazon Prime, that they offer on Amazon Prime. It's a movie that was dropped from the Tribeca Film Festival

for being too fucked up. But that's De Niro's film festival. Yeah, exactly. Wow, so he didn't even have that pull? I think he got it in the door and then people were like, oh, this is anti-scientific bullshit. But yeah, Amazon Prime has documentaries, quote unquote, that suggest that vaccination is bad.

Vaccines on trials, vaxxed from cover up to catastrophe. And yeah, it keeps going. It's not just vaccine theory. There's also things like The Greatest Lie on Earth, Proof That Our World Is Not a Moving Globe by Edward Hendry. That construction of the title is already- A Moving Globe is funny as fuck. A Moving Globe? Right.

Yeah. It's not. Okay. They need to find a way because saying that the earth is not round has the association of madness. And so they're like, here's another way. Oh, they really circumvented that. It's not a moving globe. And the description is, this book reveals the evil forces behind the heliocentric deception and why scientists and the Christian churches have gone along with it.

And it includes a passage claiming that quote, homosexual culture promotes sex with children. Uh, how did that get it? Hey man. So Aristarchus, Copernicus, Kepler and Galileo were wrong.

Right. I fuck with heliocentricity. Right. Sorry. But I just, again, I like how it's just sort of bringing in this global thing. Like religion is behind it too. Right. Sorry. But I just, again, I like how it's just sort of bringing in this global thing, like religion is behind it, too. That's the thing.

Conspiracy theorists are more intersectional than we are, and that is fucked up. Seriously. They're the most intersectional. Yeah. Well, I mean, well, he gets very intersectional with a certain passage. A person who bought the book found a passage in there that just said that homosexual culture promotes sex with children. Yeah. I don't know what the fuck that has to do with the flat earth. Right.

But these are the kind of takes that a flat earther would have. Also questions the moon landing and disputes the narrative of the Holocaust. Oh, great. No, that's a different one. Oh, that's the next book? Oh, wait. Just for a second. Oh, great.

No, that's a different one. Oh, that's the next book? Oh, wait. Just for a second. Allow me to read you this passage from the book that is about the flat earth, okay? And somehow they had to devote a few paragraphs to homosexuality. I have no idea what this has to do with the flat earth. It says, homosexual publications openly promote pederasty. I didn't know that word.

And are often populated with travel ads for sex tours to Burma, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and other countries infamous for boy prostitution. Baldwin reveals that the most popular travel guide for homosexuals, Spartacus Gay Guides, is replete with information about where to find boys for sex and as a friendly warning, lists penalties in various countries for sodomy with boys if caught. There's nothing about the flat earth. It goes on well because all right now think about it stay with me here okay okay now if the earth is round uh

then that makes so like maybe they think other countries are involved in the conspiracy like because you can't even figure this out because you have to have like a round globe for other countries for international travel to make sense. Then it must be a vast conspiracy involving airlines. Right. And so in the travel industry, tourism, the tourism bureau must be heavily involved. Right. I you honestly lost me.

Really? Well, how do you explain international travel if the Earth is flat? All I know is Australia is fake. Right. That's all I can wrap my head around. Do they believe Australia is fake? Flat earthers? Yeah.

Yeah, remember? We always talk about that. Well, what do Australian flat earthers think? They're pissed. They're pissed because it's a violent denial of their existence. Right. I mean, there couldn't be a worse position to be than an Australian flat earther. Right.

That sucks. Bloody hell, mate. I don't exist. Right. I mean, there couldn't be a worse position to be than an Australian flat earther. Right. That sucks. Bloody hell, mate. I don't exist. Right. Fuck you, right? So there's, up next, we have a book that questions the moon landing and disputes the narrative of the Holocaust.

It's called, and I suppose we didn't go to the moon either, The Beatles, The Holocaust, and Other Mass Illusions. I'm sorry, why are the Beatles even there with the moon landing and the Holocaust? Well, hold on to your butt, Miles, because this is about to start making a whole lot more sense. This book demonstrates, with scientific argument and empirical proof that man did not go to the moon,

that Paul McCartney was replaced after his death in 1966. Preach, preach. And that the official narrative of the Holocaust cannot be sustained. Yeah. Also, Osama bin Laden was official narrative of the Holocaust cannot be sustained. Yeah. Also, Osama bin Laden was not killed by the Navy SEALs. Saddam Hussein was not hung. It was one of his doubles.

Of course. So it's just all conspiracies are true. All of them. Nice. Wait, what is... My great aunt just made a very bad tattoo decision. Yeah. Right.

It's fine. What is the 1966 Paul McCartney thing? I have not heard that. Oh, you don't know the Paul is dead thing? No. Oh, yeah. So there was- This is fun.

Yeah. There was a whole thing where if you played or if you listened to the background or played something backwards, it sounded like they were- I think it was Revolution No. 9. Revolution No. 9. If you play it backwards or if you listen in the background or something, it says Paul is dead. I think if you play it backwards, it says Paul is dead and Paul is doomed. I could be wrong.

Right. And that's all the evidence? No, but then there's all sorts of things, man. The Abbey Road cover? Abbey Road cover. He's the only one not wearing shoes, which why would they do that if he wasn't dead, Miles? If he wasn't dead, why was he not wearing shoes? By that logic, Japanese people, when they're in their homes, are dead, too.

Yeah. Because they don't have their shoes on. Wait, you didn't know Japanese people are dead when they're not? Hey, well, then you're looking at a motherfucking ghost. But they have all these photographs, comparisons, where they're like, here's Paul before 1966. Oh, I love when they do that. Here he is after. Okay, enough said.

What was the difference? He has a fucking beard? Yeah, basically. I feel like in my mind, that's like the phases of McCartney. I'm a haircut truther. I don't think Paul ever gets haircuts. So is the idea that's motivating the conspiracy

to hide his death is that if people found out he was dead, the Beatles would be just, career would collapse yeah I guess that they really already like he's probably did the best after that right yeah after 66 yeah so they

thought that they Paul died they went and found some schmo who kind of looked like him and then he happened to be more musically talented than his double phone. Oh, he was the great bassist and songwriter. Yeah. Right. And that guy wrote Yesterday.

I kind of need to read that. I have a feeling that that theory just falls apart in the first two sentences. Oh, yeah. But it's basically that there was, you know, people had discovered drugs, but there wasn't enough media to keep their minds occupied yet. They were obsessed with whatever album was coming out at the time. And so they, you know, had a lot of sex and made up weird conspiracy theories. You seem to know a lot because you were like, well, the Abbey Road thing.

And I was like, uh-oh. Am I roughing feathers? I lived with Allie Gertz. No, I just know a lot of Beatles stuff. Right, right, right. But you do believe that Paul McCartney right now is the same one. I believe that Paul McCartney is the same Paul McCartney. And you're willing to say that under oath?

Yes. Okay. I just want to check. You know he's a robot, though, right? Of course. Obviously. And I suppose we didn't go to the moon either. What a fucking flippant title.

Yeah, yeah. And cram the Holocaust in there under that title. Just for good measure. Yeah, just so you get all the anti-Semitic fucking weirdos to be like, oh, finally. And of course, there is an appearance from our greatest modern conspiracy theory, QAnon. Hey! Amazon is just littered with QAnon literature. Yeah.

They've been telling us at the website I work for to kill ourselves for a long time. Oh, really? Yeah. I think I told you about this. Yeah. Yeah. It's just a conflation of we are not a successful website. Which website?

Bunny Ears. Oh, okay. And I'm saying that we're not doing that great. Sure. Because it's satire. Right. No satire site's successful. Right.

And because it's a website. Yes. That isn't Facebook or Amazon. Exactly. Jack's starting to cry. But no, it's just an accidental conflation of all of the things that they believe. It is started by a child star who had a pizza themed band. And oh, yeah, you guys are in on.

We did a promotion with Voodoo Donuts, which is their new pizza gate place. Oh, is it? It is. I didn't know that. Yeah. Voodoo Donuts is the new Comet Pizza. And we have a lot of satanic imagery on our site because it's a satire site. And we have a lot of bad parenting advice on our site because we're satirizing goop.

Right. So. Wow. It's just a conflation of all of the things they believe yeah shout out to the q anon people who are really hoping they're working hard man hey man when muller starts throwing hillary and obama in jail who's gonna be laughing then yeah trump is the one who is gonna save us from pedophiles that's what i I love. That's the truth. But I just want to quote the great book, our Bible, QAnon, the Great Awakening book number one, wherein they say, Oh, part of a series. When light is focused, it can burn through anything.

Not true. We are here to research, not to shitpost. When the Great Awakening happens, we must already have an encyclopedia of knowledge ready to red pill. Oh, man. And the book's fucking $47. Yeah.

What a fucking shame. They're really swinging for the fence. They're good capitalists. Think about the people who are Team Q are probably willing to pay that. And there's not a lot of them. Yeah.

But they're extremely motivated because they don't get invited to Thanksgiving anymore. Right. So they're like, God, please. Well, it's the most desperate end of that spectrum where you have to really outright deny everything that's in front of you and say no the robert muller thing is actually a total illusion because to acknowledge the reality would just shatter the version that of reality i'm operating in okay cool i get why that's an such an attractive conspiracy because to believe that pedophiles are organized and come from like a single source yeah that's that's tolerable right right you can you can tackle that sure Sure, right, right, right.

Yeah. We just need to, it's a house of cards that I'll ultimately do. Yeah. Well, it's a good clean explanation for the shitty things in the world. Just like any,

like those conspiracies are. Oh, yeah. All the false flag shooting things. Yeah. Like it's so much nicer. Well, speaking of false flag, you can, if you search on Amazon Prime,

if you search on Amazon Prime, one of their documentaries on 9-11 is Loose Change. Oh, the thing every college bro is like, hey, dude, you see Loose Change? Right. Shit's tight. Whenever some dude asks me like, hey, why are so women into astrology and crystals?

I have never, ever heard a woman bring up that movie. Right. Astrology and crystals are harmless compared to that shit oh gosh and any good news in the world to complete the circle there's a whole industry of fake reviewers who you can prop your shit books up oh right right so that yeah there's like there are these facebook groups called amazon review club and amazon reviewers group where you can just go shopping for somebody to give your bullshit book a five-star review Group, where you can just go shopping for somebody to give your bullshit book a five-star review. Oh, so then you can give some validity to your,

like, don't inject your child with mercury, because then his brain will melt and the Illuminati will take over. Just ask them to say whatever the fuck you need them to say to combat the truth. I mean, so is there a countermeasure to this? So the Federal Trade Commission is finally getting involved with regulating Amazon reviews, which is wild. And it's basically the whole problem with the entire internet. Right. If anybody worked on the internet in the first place and tried to do any amount of crowdsourcing

knows is that the second you open up to a lot of users, it's fucking impossible to control. Right. Yeah. Yep. Yeah. So. You know, incels were started by a woman.

I know. Yeah. Yeah, accidentally. She lost control of that car a long, long time ago. Right. Let's talk about fast food. Thank God. Some good news.

Yes. Yes. No. Oh, shout out to all the Canadian Zeitgang who hit me up with all of their reviews of that spicy McChicken sandwich last week. Yeah. You're doing the Lord's work. Apparently it is spicy.

Well, you know, some people, it all depends. Some people are like, man, this is not heat. Right. Some people are like, it's a little bit spicy. At least it's something. Well, what's Canadian spicy compared to American spicy? Canadian spicy in America is just black pepper. Right.

Yeah. If it's anything like what I eat. But yeah, I have a feeling it's kind of spicy. But anyway, shout out to all you guys. Yeah, the ghost pepper one? Yeah. Thanks for catching me up. And I might take you guys up on some of those offers to sleep on your couch.

But yes, recently in Science Digest, they just published a study, not through them exclusively, about an analysis of fast food over 30 years. And do you want to take bets on what the conclusion was of this? It's about the overall healthiness of fast food. So, I mean, there's been a health craze lately. McDonald's introduced all those salads. They now have to put the nutritional information on the menu. So I'm assuming it's bad, but not as bad as it used

to be. Wow. Bad. So just slightly, we've gotten actually, we've progressed to better. Yeah, because now they have healthy options. Well, great. No, it's actually the unhealthiest it's ever fucking been. So RIP your body. They did an analysis of the top 10 fast food restaurants in 1986, 1991, and 2016. And after they combed through everything, they found that like entree sizes increased by 39 grams, 90 calories, added 13.8% more sodium.

Sides like fries had 42 more calories, a nearly 12% increase in sodium. Surprise had more, 42 more calories, a nearly 12% increase in sodium. But it did say desserts had the absolute largest increase in calories, about almost 200 on average. So who'd have thought? You know, this shit's getting crazier. I wonder why. You feel like, I don't know. The only good thing that they pointed to is like, well, there's more diverse offerings than ever before.

Yeah. But it's still garbage. Isn't that kind of the problem because if it's a capitalist system more diverse offerings have to be propped up by more more consumption across all those different offerings yeah that's called pickle down theory right yeah exactly yeah i just uh that's not gonna stop me from eating fast food that's why i I got to eat it in moderation. You know what I mean? Don't eat it. Don't eat it every other day. Like I do. Right.

Okay. I eat it every day. Okay. I do twice a day. Oh no. Okay. I haven't had not fast food in three years. Well,

Hannah, it's been a pleasure having you. We're going to have an intervention for miles after we say the fuck away from my fries, man. I'm sorry. Where can people find you? On Twitter, I am at Hannah Michaels, and that is spelled like my parents. Like you wouldn't believe.

Oh, God. H-A-N-A-M-I-C-H-E-L-S. I don't. They forgot the A. They just forgot. That's a cool name, though. I mean, it's. Hannah.

Hannah. I mean, my's... Hana. Hana. I mean, my mom almost named me Hana Leora, and that would have been like the equivalent of tattooing Jew on my forehead. Hana Leora sounds like a 80s... I think of Puff the Magic Dragon. Yeah. In a land called Hana Leora. Oh, yeah.

I get that a lot. I get... So you Puff the Magic Dragon a lot, man? Hell yeah. Oh, I heard from that laugh. Hell yeah. Dou get that a lot. So you pop the Magic Dragon a lot, man? Hell, yeah. I heard from that laugh. Hell, yeah. Doubles in the details. I get Han Solo.

Hana Montana, people think is hilarious. Oh, yeah. Hana Montana. The only funny one ever got in high school, bullied relentlessly, but it was too funny. Hana Rhea. Hana Rhea. Oh, wow. Yeah.

What happened to that fine person? They're doing very well. Oh, wow. Better than me. Oh, wow. What happened to that fine person? They're doing very well. Oh, wow. Better than me. Holy Jesus. It was Mark Zuckerberg. Yeah. Is there a tweet you've been enjoying?

Yes. Can anyone here do an Andrew Dice Clay impression? Yeah, sure. Hell yes. Okay, then I'm going to give you this tweet to read. Oh, it has to be read. Okay, I got it. Okay, I'm not the best Andrew Dice Clay guy, but here we go.

And this is a conversation. So why don't you play me and I'll play Andrew Dice Clay just so this tweet reads properly. Hell yes. Okay, this is right in and or so. And I'm Andrew Dice Clay. Here we go. This is from, yes, Andrew Dice Clay. Hey, the Dice Man's a character.

Oh, so you don't actually act or look like that? Nah, I do, but when I'm doing Dice Man, I wear a special jacket. Oh, man, Jesus. Andrew Dice Clay. The Dice Man. He was great in A Star is Born. Right. I could not believe that I was looking at the Dice Man.

He is a special person because he's probably the only person that you can like even mention him and just hear all the vaginas dry up right like you can just feel it yeah right

aggressive style I remember the first time I ever or like smoked like a cigarette in high school like at a party you did it around your head

around my head like that and no one knew what I was doing and I just I faded to the back yeah Miles where can people find you you can find me follow me on Twitter and Instagram and no one knew what I was doing, and I just faded to the back. Miles, where can people find you?

You can find me, follow me on Twitter and Instagram at Miles of Grey. Also, you can find us doing a live show this Saturday, March 9th, at Dynasty Typewriter with the Bechdel cast. It'll be a joint live show, Daily Zeitgeist, Bechdel cast. Yeah, let them know with those high sirens. Yeah, so please come out. Get your tickets.

There's a couple left, so buy them up. Are we talking about what we're talking about? Yeah, we're going to talk. It'll be a little bit of a year in review and a movie review, like a little bit of what we do examining the Zeitgeist and a little bit of what they do examining movies. Zeitgeist of the year. 1999.

Watch out now. And the film The Matrix. Yeah. Which Jamie Loftus has not seen. Oh, shit. the year 1999 and the film The Matrix which Jamie Loftus has not seen but she did promise that she will watch it for the performance. They have done an episode on The Matrix

and she did not see it then. But she pretended she had. Yes. Which is one of my favorite facts. I told her I will be very upset if she doesn't watch it for the thing but I can't control it. Jamie Loftus is a god. It moves in its own way. I can't control the sun.

A tweet I like is from Mark Normand. It says, gay guy. I love muscular men. Group, good for you. Get it, boy. Straight guy. I like thin women with large breasts. Group, ugh, typical man.

What a pig. Lesbian. I also like those kind of women. Group, yeah, girl. Enjoy those ladies. Yeah, what's up for my. I also like those kind of women. Group, yeah, girl, enjoy those ladies. Yeah, what's up for my men's rights activists out there? Also, another one is just from CPAC last week. A lot of alt-right people who have been banned from Twitter

and they're real nasty fucks who are just dealing just straight-up bullshit racism, not even like, I'm hiding behind fiscal conservatism to justify my racism, like the overt fuckers. So Jacob wall, uh, the great prodigy of the hipster coffee shop overheard tweet.

Uh, he was banned from CPAC and had a real problem. Uh, people like the homie Jared Holt from right wing watch got in and he was like, Oh, how does this guy get in? But I can't,

he had, he, so someone tweeted, uh, Caleb, a karma at Caleb, Akarma just posted this photo of him like in this lobby it says Jacob Wool is giving his CPAC presser while flanked by a tiny security guard with a single air pod in his ear and it's just this really it's like the least

intimidating security guard I've ever seen a single air. I think the single AirPod is meant to like mimic like a in-ear piece like Secret Service. Right. And young Jacob just looks so dejected. I hate to see, you know, terrible people

get platformed. Wait, I don't. So yeah, that's another one I like. More of a visual one. Oh, that's beautiful. You can find me on Twitter at

Jack underscore O'Brien. A few tweets I like. Pixelated Boat tweeted, Weezer fans, please just write good songs. Rivers Cuomo, fuck you. Our new album is called Memes and damn Daniel played Slide Whistle on every track. Haze Davenport tweeted, now that all the bees are dying, you have to be extra careful when you see a bee because it must be one of the strongest ones.

Which is just a good advice. And Jess Dweck tweeted, CPAC is like Coachella for people whose grandkids won't speak to them anymore. Oh, I saw that. Oh, she's great. And Doug Benson tweeted, Anthony Kiedis is right.

With burger shave, it's a lonely view. With the burger shave, it's a lonely review. And Carol Hartsell tweeted, Like every woman, I keep two hair things on my wrist at all times. One for impromptu ponytails and one for choking out enemies. Nice. You should know that, guys. Let them know.

Oh, this is a little collab from Part Time and Ariel Pink. And it is called I Can Treat You Better. And yeah, let's just try and treat each other better. There's a lot of pain out there, a lot of misinformation. But if we can treat each other better, we may find a solution to this thing.

And that's been called Hippie Talk with Miles. So this is I Can Treat You Better by Part Time. Ariel Pink. Yeah, it's kind of got a groover. Got a little throwback vibe to it. So if you like that style, I-time. Aerial pink. Yeah, it's kind of got a groover, got a little throwback vibe to it. So if you like that style, I think you'll enjoy this too. All right.
