Listen to Let's Talk Offline on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get

your podcasts. Hello, the internet, and welcome to Season 338, Episode 3 of Your Daily Night Geist! A production of iHeart Radio. This is a podcast where we take a deep dive into American shared consciousness. You see how my voice

got deep on that part? You strained a little bit there. It's a little trick I'm trying out. Yeah. It's a little trick. It's a little thing I'm trying out for the kids. A little thing I'm trying out for the kids. It's Wednesday, May 15th, 2024. We're halfway there. Exactly. Living on a prayer.

We're halfway. It's Bring Flowers to Someone Day, which is so nonspecific. This one is Bring Flowers to Someone. It's Bring Flowers to Someone Day, which is so nonspecific. I like that this one is Bring Flowers to Someone. You know, it's also National Juice Slush Day, National Nylon Stocking Day, National Chocolate Chip Day. I was taking a walk this morning and somebody was walking by me the other direction. And they had just pulled a handful of flowers out of someone's garden. Oh.

And we're like, he was like doing like a magic pixie dream girl thing. Like he was like dancing with the flowers and like kind of doing a thing. So I didn't have the context until now for what was going on. He was hashtag national bringing flowers to someone dead. What do you think? What's the, is there like a acceptable, here's my question. Is it okay to rip flowers out of people's lawns? No.

I don't think so. Yeah. I was just raised as a child of color to never set foot on someone's property that was not yours. Don't even cross your fucking arm over a fence. But then, Her Majesty, whiteness is a hell of a drug. She'll be like, oh, I can take this. And I'm like, maybe you can.

I want nothing to do with that. My son is a four-year-old, did that. And I was pretty sure that he wasn't going to get beat up. But not because I was going to protect his ass. He had to learn a hard lesson there, maybe. Anyways, Happy National

Bring Flowers to Someone Day. Somebody Day. The flower industry can't get enough. First Mother's Day day and now this one that nobody's heard of come on my name is jack o'brien aka remember remember my water ice member i should have said wood or ice uh that is courtesy of lacaronia on the discord continuing continuing to bring up the time i got off a ride with my nephews. My pants were wet and I blamed it on wood or ice because that's what it was. You don't have to keep retelling the story, man. You give it life

every time. People need context. People need context if I did not piss the pants. Honestly, La Caroni, it's rude at this point, man. It's bullying. It feels like bullying now. Thank you for keeping the legend alive. I'm thrilled to be joined as always by my co-host, Mr. Miles Gray. Yes, it's Miles Gray gallivanting around the nation's capital on his way to see Jay Dilla's MPC at the African American history museum.

Anyway, I'm here and i'm eating a lot of food shout out to people who've been sending me places to go to i've been to one of them other than that i'm just i'm just eating whatever's in front of me unfortunately when you have a baby you don't have time to really be going out like that have you said to her majesty i'm glad we were here together in our nation's capital exactly i'm Wait, was that from? From Forrest Gump.

Oh, yeah. Yeah. Holy shit. I never thought about that. They have a thing, a cool thing you can do is, they have a cool thing that you can do here where they dress you up like Forrest Gump and you can do all the cool stuff he did. Like how people in Japan wear kimonos. And here in D.C. you can dress up in a, like a military uniform. A military uniform and get pushed around from line to line and it is one of the most offensive scenes just like subtly offensive scenes did he did he

speak during the i have a dream speech i don't think it was i have a dream it was like a hippie protest oh yeah it was a protest i know he was at the mall doing something that would have been hilarious they even got him in there but anyway but it was like all the hippies were just there going from line to line aimlessly just like following orders and then they went to a black panther rally and like the black panthers are like yelling at him and he gets like pushed in another direction and the black panther keeps yelling at the empty spot where he used to had been like a anger automaton it's really like a like weird little detail that like once i caught it i was like wait what the fuck does this guy think is like exactly man the war in viet fucking

nam yeah it's just that lying bastard Johnson. Yeah. Wow. Anyways, a lot of Forrest Gump quotes. For the kids. Again, doing a little something. For the kids. Exactly.

I feel great about it. I feel correct. My Knicks are, you know, not my Knicks. Yeah, my Knicks. My Thunder, you know, like they're in a big series. My Wolves. My Wolves beat my Suns. I pretty much like every team, but my favorite team, I think.

Liverpool's locked in third. So, yeah, there's really, you know, Phillies are playing great. Eagles had a great draft. And that's really all my life revolves around is there are things that i have no control over whatsoever um and letting them people younger than i am yeah and having letting them have uh just an absurd effect on your on your well-being somehow to the things we are not in control of and finances i'm there right now let's not forget finances and my marriage let's not forget my marriage as well yeah yeah well it's important we promote things yet can i promote my marriage. Let's not forget my marriage as well. Yeah. Well, that's important. Can we promote things yet?

Can I promote my marriage? Yeah, yeah, please. Almost two years in July. Someone sent a video of me. It looked like you guys were at a Wawa recently. Yeah, yeah. Thank you for bringing that up.

Yeah, no. So I, in her defense, I brought her to, we meaning myself, I'm royalty at a Wawa. So I'm just a royal we. That's why I said we. But yeah, brought her to a nice one. I was even going to order on the touchscreen for her because it was one of the nice ones with Wawa. Yeah, that's why I said we. But yeah, brought her to a nice one.

I was even going to order on the touchscreen for her because it was one of the nice ones with a touchscreen. Yeah, yeah. And I like to order for the aisle because we were going to eat in the aisle and whoever else was in there, I was going to order for them. But yeah, no, she started hollering.

High roller. Hollering. She was hollering at me and I had a Gatorade Propel fitness water that I spilled all over my shirt. Dude, do they still make that shit? Oh, yeah.

I've been drinking a lot of that lately and that's not a bit too long. Yeah, I'm flipping in my old days. It's clear, so it's healthy. That's why I drank lemon ice when that one first came out for Gatorade. I was like, this is the Sprite of Gatorades that my mom will let me have. I was like, I think it's worse if it's clear.

I shower in Crystal Pepsi. You do. Yeah. You do. It smells good. It doesn't even stick. It does. It's sticky.

That's your skin. You got that great O'Brien skin. You know what his secret is, right? It's just all Crystal Pepsi. That's your skin. You got that great skin. O'Brien's skin. You know what his secret is, right? It's just all crystal Pepsi he just showers in. It's all crystal. It's always been that. It's always been that. Well, Blake, we're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment.

I'll wait here. First, we're going to tell the listeners a couple of things that we're talking about. I'm sorry. I was telling Blake to wait right there. I'm waiting. I'm waiting.'m waiting i'm waiting but first we're gonna tell the listeners a couple of things we're talking about go go go no fucking wait blake just wait there why did i wait just wait okay jack go are you good i'm good like are

you he's he's wandering off again i don't have anything to do i have like very little i know you don't but wait right there oh he fucking left please help me uh all right left. Please help me out. All right, we're going to talk about polls. Maybe we're going to talk about the video portal set up between New York City and Dublin, which I thought the whole point was that people would be flashing boobs and mooning each other. But apparently it got shut down for somebody just taking off their shirt, which is very weird. We'll talk about that. We'll talk about the Vegas restaurant that promised a bluey day and under-delivered. And, of course, we'll talk about OpenAI giving you a personal assistant that you can jack off to. All of that.

Plenty more. But first, Blake Wexler. Yes. Blake, come back to the microphone. Oh, am I? Are you ready now? You're getting warmer. Warmer? Yeah, I was on. All right, let's go.

Before we get to any of that, Blake, we do like to ask our guest no, you're off mic again, bud. So you're going to have to take two steps to the left. What does it look like? It looks off. It's got a fuzzy green thing on top. That's what this... Oh, I thought that, yeah, okay.

You're back. No, we're back. I have a Kermit the Frog in here that looks exactly like this, just so you know. And you can keep talking into it. Oh, really? For most of it, yeah. Into it. That's why I had to boost your vocals last time.

Okay, that makes sense. Into a workbook. But this is right. Yes, you got it. You're right. You're nailing it right now. Okay, perfect. What is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are or something you've recently screen grabbed

that is revealing about who you are? Well, thank God you added in that second one just to really expand the options. Yeah, that's what we're here for. No, it's good. It's good. It's Blake. We've been doing this for seven years. You know, it's sometimes we got to add a little wrinkle. Like, did you hear what I did with my voice at the beginning the like deep thing like when i said deep i have my i made my voice deep it was kind of it's interesting you're like bett middler and how she kept just adding things to her repertoire throughout her long career yeah so she people say she was a triple threat i think it's when tupple far more than that but but that is not what I'm here to talk about today. We're doing a Bette Midler special.

Is that still on the books? We can talk about that. Yeah, that's why this episode is called For the Boys in reference to the Bette Midler film. For the kids and for the boys. I'll choose Google search, I guess, for this one. Just because I'm a bit of a traditionalist. But I googled Steve Bonnet.

And he was a pirate. And I thought he was a made-up pirate from that show, Our Flag Means Death. Which was on HBO for a while. Which was a very, very, very funny show. I think it just got cancelled. But it was very funny. That's how you know it's a good show on HBO. Because it got cancelled after one fucking fucking season or at most streaming platforms.

And it's great. I highly recommend it if you want to watch it. But he was known as the Gentleman Pirate. And then my sister's boyfriend does like tours in Charleston, South Carolina. It was nice enough to give my wife and I and my mom a tour. And we went by this public square and it said, here was where Steed Bonnet, the gentleman pirate, was

hanged by the neck. And it turns out that Steed Bonnet was a real pirate. This is what I googled. And he was a gentleman's pirate. He was a sea pilot in ways too, but i meant pirate and just keep justifying the mistake you made make it longer and pirates in many ways the

pilots of the sea in many ways c s e a of course but he was called the gentleman pirate because often pirates they just stole their ships or got them in a devious way. But he was a very rich man who wanted to become a pirate. So he bought a ship. Just cosplaying as a pirate. Yeah, but he then became one where he bought a ship and he paid his crew wages, which had never happened before, where the pay for pirates was just if you stole stuff

off another boat, you know? Yeah. That's your pay. Whatever you can fit in your arms, man, that's your salary. Exactly. Exactly. And yeah, he was a real interesting guy. And I think it is funny when you look at history where it's like, oh, this person probably died at 50 or something. It's like, oh, no, this man is is famous and he was like 27 or something when he just blackbeard was a real pirate. I went on a real pirate. Yeah. Yeah. It was very 2005. Yes.

Correct. When everyone was like, are you a pirate or are you a ninja? And that was a fucking thing people said seriously to each other. And I was like, get the fuck away from me. Neither. It's so binary. Like that was when the internet was five years old and it had the same interests as a five-year-old

sorry this is where we're at guys are you pirate or ninja next we're gonna be into race cars and bacon yeah it is true and now it's starting to get like terminal ailments as it gets older you know it's very sick get like terminal ailments as it gets older. You know, it's very sick.

Yeah. Yeah. Now, truly self-despise. We're teenagers right now. Paranoia. Into our early 20s, I guess. Exactly. What is. Well, that's a very fascinating story. Oh, thank you. Much more interesting than I was expecting for it.

Like, Steve, I thought you were going to be like, he's normally brought to the table. Thank you. Just based on what I expect from you, Blake. Yeah. No, just the name Steve Bonnet sounds like a, like stuffed pirate,

you know, like a toy, like a child's toy. But he was stuffed with cash. Go get your Steve Bonnet, honey. Yeah, yeah, yeah. A little bonnet. Yeah.

Okay. Interesting. He sounds too cute to be a real pirate. Well, he was. I agree. Oh, did he, Matt, now I agree. He was the cutest one. Matt, now I want to know if other pirates are just looking at him like, you know how

there's like comedians who are like those trust fund comedians who are like, you know, like, yeah, I'm grinding too, man, in the city. You're like, no, you're fucking not, dude. You have a Wikipedia page. I don't think you know it says who your grandfather is. You don't, but your grandfather does. And then you're like an unhighlighted link on his page. Yeah, yeah.

You're not even blue on the Wikipedia page. It says, and they're drinking. Buddy, I know how much you make. Right. I know how much you make. You can't afford to live in that place. Right, exactly. Yeah, I know that for a fact.

I know, man. The strike's killing me. You live in Brentwood. How? Is that a new watch? Yeah. Super producer Justin is pointing out, first of all, Blake's right. Okay,

Justin, fine. Choose Blake's side again. Justin gets it. He said, watch this show. And they actually talk about the trust fund pirate thing. Oh, amazing. I'm here for that trust fund. So I'm actually going to watch it

now. There it is. I think you'd like it. Okay. Victor also coming in saying it's a good show. So now I'm out again. But if I get an even number of recommendations, I'll be back. All right, Producer Bay needs to hop in. Producer Bay, hop in. What is something, Blake, that you think is underrated?

Underrated fried cheese curds. underrated underrated uh fried cheese curds and i've been on the road a little bit which means i'm slowly killing myself with food and i've been i compare them to like mozzarella sticks where mozzarella sticks amazing but only one dip you can generally use with a mozzarella stick like marinara primarily but with like fried cheese curds. Marinara, Primera? Primemera. Amazon Primemera. This is not good content. I know, dude. I'm in a Porsche Primemera right now pulling up, dude.

Was Primemera... I think it's going to age really well. I think it's going to age really well. It's one of those things that's ahead of its time. I couldn't agree more. I can't believe Primonera... I think it's going to age really well. I think it's going to age really well. It's one of those things that's ahead of its time, yeah. I couldn't agree more. I can't believe Primonera got rid of their charged lemonades. Anyway, so they're limited to one dipping sauce for mozzarella sticks. One dipping sauce for mozzarella sticks.

But for fried cheese curds, you can use marinara. You can also use ranch. I've been served with them. A barbecue sauce, I've been served with them. And then once when I was in Minneapolis, I got like a cherry ketchup, which sounds crazy, but was like a little bit of sweetness in there. It was so good. So fried cheese curds, I think, as an alternative to the prime de mera. the prime and mera difference. Yeah, curds don't make it out to the coasts, I don't think. I feel like every time I've had it, it's been in the Midwest. I don't know. Maybe because

my dumb take is like, are they closer to the dairy farm? We got too many curds selling to the bar. We got plenty of dairy farms out here. That one stretch that you drive when you're driving to St. Miles. You struck a cord with Jack.

Up to five. Yeah drive when you're driving to San Francisco. Miles, you struck a chord with Jack. Up the five? Yeah. When you reach just that terrible Just hell? Yeah, when you have to roll your windows up and then put the air conditioning on, like circulate interior air. And turn the music up so you can't hear the screams of the cows. You can't hear the cows over my screams

of yelling, Congress started the Dust Bowl. Because I read every sign on that road. On the five? Yeah. You're going to get a lot of propaganda on that one. Trump Pence! Still up for some reason. Hell yeah, bro.

Can someone take this down? Yeah. So, wait, you're saying that cheese curds, they will give them to you with different sauces? Like, do you get four at once? Or you're just saying that they're more willing to explore the studio space on what sauces are appropriate. Right. Well, four at once, I'm not made of money, but whatever they give me without having to pay a surcharge for additional sauces, generally two to three, I would say is what you would get. But that is my point, is that there's more variety in the sauce

where no one's going to stop you from putting a mozzarella stick into a ranch. I will throw my body in between a mozzarella stick and some ranch. Like a Secret Service officer. No! Holy shit. Yeah. holy shit yeah i ranches that i i thank dominoes for this that ranch uh they exposed me to like ranch as dipping sauce for everything now it's just god i love ranch it's so good you gotta make it yourself making it the dude when you make it yourself it's there's like a little green onion

zest to it that really comes out whenever you make a fresh i mean when you make it yourself, there's like a little green onion zest to it that really comes out whenever you make a fresh one. I mean, when you make it yourself, maybe. When I make it myself, it probably sucks. No, no, it's actually pretty easy. I would even say an oaf like you could even put together. Not me. Even a redundant piece of shit so there's this restaurant near there's a chain of restaurants i guess out here called great white that has a lot of food that i like and they have their own homemade ranch

and it sucks oh really yeah it's really bad and it's like put me off of anything that isn't hidden valley because i'm just like they i'm gonna fuck up up the dill. They just put way too much dill in that bitch. Yeah, what's the dill, bro? What's the dill? Jay Dilla over here. What's the dilly? I just touched grounds down in Philly. What is something?

Thank you, Blake, for following along. Thanks for that dilly. Dilly. Dilly. Indeed. Dilly dally. Dilly dong. Let me even interrupt you. Oh, dilly dilly. Remember. Dilly dally. Dilly dong. Let me even interrupt you.

Oh, dilly dilly. Remember that? That was good. I have a tattoo on my lower back. Yo, this guy's a cop, man. This guy's a fucking cop. I got it tattooed on my lower back. I forgot it was there, and then I got it tattooed again on my left wrist.

And now I have, no, it's dilly dilly dilly dilly. Dilly dilly dilly dilly dilly dilly uh what is something you think is overrated overrated down uh not the direction oh fuck i had so much material on how down as a direction was overrated we can so close it's so negative It's so negative. It's so negative. I just take it off my Nintendo controller when I get it. I just can't make a mistake. From a goose.

From a goose. I think it's too warm. I think it traps heat too well. And you know what? Let me be more specific because I would imagine there's a corner of the world where it's quite cold and down you would want that but you would imagine that there's no way to confirm but you do have to imagine that there are for sure parts of the world that are cold i'm talking out of my ass here but i've heard that there are some places

through the the grapevine but i would say for a bed for like a comforter, I think down comforters are suffocating. And you never need something that traps heat that well when you're sleeping. Yeah. We'll be right back. You're listening to the iHeartRadio Network. Big players spreading money all about. Big super spreader players with the money. That's a fair point.

Thank you. They're flying very money. That's a fair point. Geese really, you know, they're flying very high. It's got to be cold up there. But I do wonder if that's why they're such assholes down on land. Like down amongst us is too much heat being trapped in there. Too hot. Hot tempered, you know? I think that's worth exploring. That makes me, yeah, more empathetic actually now that you say it that way.

Because if I was that hot... Because usually you will beat the shit out of a goose. A mother goose? Don't tell me about it. Yes. His alter ego. Yes, I will take one out. I'll take one out.

I actually got a... I put a huge plow on my bicycle, so now I can drive around and take out these hot birds. But now I'm rethinking that and I might take it off. Yeah, have a heart. Think about the geese. Think about the geese inside there, won't you? Yes. I bet they look real fucked up without the feathers.

Oh, God. Can you imagine terrible skin? They'd probably die, right? I'd imagine a bird without its feathers is its countdown to death. They'd probably die, right? I'd imagine a bird without its feathers is its countdown to death. Yeah, probably. Their skin would look like Jack's if he didn't bathe in Crystal Light Pepsi. I don't even know if we talked about that

on air or in that ice cold. What did you call it? That clear thing? Crystal Pepsi. Yeah. Oh, no, but I'm saying you got the diet version. Crystal Light Pepsi. Give me a Pepsi free. Pepsi free. I'm saying you got the diet version. Light. Crystal light Pepsi. Give me a Pepsi free. Pepsi free, please.

I'm from Back to the Future. That doesn't really make sense anymore. I won't watch that. Nice try, Zemeckis. And this brings me back to my point. Zemeckis is a fucking idiot. Fucking Bobby Z. All right, let's take a quick break. We'll come back and we'll talk polls, polls, polls.

We'll be right back. I'm Jess Casavetto, executive producer of the hit Netflix documentary series, Dancing for the Devil, the 7M TikTok cult. And I'm Clea Gray, former member of 7M Films and Shekinah Church. And we're the host of the new podcast, Forgive Me For I Have Followed. Together, we'll be diving even deeper into the unbelievable stories behind 7M Films and LA-based Shekinah Church, an alleged cult that has impacted members for over two decades. Jessica and I will delve into the hidden truths between high-control groups and interview dancers, church members, and others whose lives and careers have been impacted, just like mine. Through powerful, in-depth interviews with former members and new, chilling firsthand accounts, the series will illuminate untold and extremely necessary perspectives.

Up first, I explore the making of a rivalry, Caitlin 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? Just come here and 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. They think they're so smart, don't they? And we're back. These poles. These poles think they're so smart. They think they're so smart, don't they? And we're back. These polls. These polls think they're so smart. They think they're so smart. Like those frogs.

The Bud Light frogs. I remember them all. And then they take Dilly Dilly at the end. Yeah. Yeah. Dilly Dilly. Anyway, polling. Yes.

The thing that we're sweating over, not sweating over. I don't know. I think it's just worth touching on some recent polling that has come out on the presidential are much closer than the headlines reveal. He leads by like Trump leads in three states by a slim margin and the other three states are basically a tie. And what some polling experts say is misleading is that these polls have a very small sample size and are focusing on registered voters. And they say, look, you got to look at the people who are likely to vote. Registered voters are people who are merely registered to vote. They can say whatever, but likely gives you a little bit more of an accurate picture because these are people who are saying, no, I'm intent on voting and this is how I'm going to vote. So when you look at likely voters, Biden has about

a four point edge. What does that mean? I don't know. You know, at this point, it's still early and the polls are basically telling us that it is very, very close. And I think, you know at this point it's still early and the polls are basically telling us that it is very very close and i think you know if you're if you're saying oh i don't want another trump presidency another decent sign is that in senate races democrats seem to be leading in races in arizona wisconsin and pennsylvania but what about the youngs you know a lot of the headlines i've also pointed out just give me a fucking excuse to blame the young smiles jesus christ come on give me a reason they don't want to work they're not working so are they voting just want to vote like a youngin they just they just want to camp outside and yell and make signs and listened at whatever they listen in their hamas tents i've seen it.

How come all those tents are the same on those campuses? Yeah, exactly. Where do you think those came from? I've overheard. But yeah. So again, the New York Times has the most negative results. When you look at other national polls, it says it's like 30, 30 percent to 31 percent. Trump is up by one percent of like, you know, younger voters that they that they were polling, quote unquote.

Wait, he's winning outright? 31% to 30% is what the New York Times results seem to be. That would be staggering. A Harvard poll. Yeah, Harvard poll has it 56 to 37. That's Biden up 19 points. Pew Research has 59 to 38. Biden's up 21 points. But I think it's clear that the new york times

at least from what i've seen in the last couple years maybe i'll be fair maybe the last couple months maybe you know the new york they like to take liberties with their editorialized headlines so saying that trump the actual headline is trump leads in five key states as young and non-white voters express discontent with biden and now i know who to be mad at exactly uh it reveals an erosion of support for the president among young and non-white voters upset about the economy and gaza so again it's written in a way oh you can't afford a home i bought my house for twenty thousand dollars and now it's worth three million but yeah i can't afford health care i broke my leg and now i'm bankrupt

my college education was a false promise fucking babies jesus yeah right yeah but yeah again like we're saying it's definitely giving their readers a reason to reflexively just blame progressives and younger voters if trump wins but again most of the polling it at like at worst it's it's very very fucking close and there's no way to fucking make sense of these polls right now um the other the one the other thing that is worrying though uh in axios it was being reported that biden is first of all just to lay the table here biden is not performing as well as he was in 2020 at this point and it's been reported that he actually doesn't really believe in any of the bad polls where he's oh good good and either do his advisors like

they're kind of like nah it's just like hater shit no need to no need to you mean people who aren't willing to vote for you haters we call them fucking haters we don't want exactly yeah that's what they're saying that's what all they're saying to each other in the white house right now agreeing with each other and it's just these young exactly they're gonna exactly exactly but yeah all this to say polling is always changing and again we'll see neither candidate is really dominating but the underlying data suggests biden may have the slimmest of advantages and look plenty of time for either of them to have a huge fuck up or their bodies to expire. Or maybe that disaster Republicans are waiting for to pounce on is on the way. I do knows all we do know is November.

Please take your time. I feel like the disaster is here. Biden is fucking it up. And like this is a weird one. Like Republicans, they couldn't be like, yeah, man biden is all in on just the killing of innocence like this is what our foreign policy is becoming like that would be the attack from the left as compared meanwhile they're like he's fucking letting people use bathrooms and wind energy but i don't know i feel like i saw somebody writing about like their stance on this is like i don't need to like claim i'm going to

say i'm going to vote for biden right now when there's an opportunity he needs my support in the like in the coming months and he's completely fucking outside of like what it seems like a reasonable humanitarian like job a president would do so like i don't know it's like i feel like this headline is aimed at people like trying to get everybody to just panic and go back to just being like yeah but it's better than trump and so we got to go back to supporting him and obviously like we you know yeah it just feels like they don't want you to have the right to threaten any kind of leverage over a presidential candidate all we have god that's like the only power we have in this world run by like corporations and like more corporations than him right that's how yeah that's how backwards the state of things are.

People are definitely in the streets and protesting and then the other part is being like, well, I might not vote for them. Like, no, just don't fucking do that. Are you fucking out of your mind? Right. Well, then fucking come to the table or fucking wake the fuck up. Yeah, exactly. The polls are all just haters.

So big yikes, if true. And i believe based on how he's the glacial pace at which this president moved i believe true man his face looks more and more like it hurts you know like he's he's like doing a thing with his face that's like really like oh it looks like it's on fire i don't Oh, like you got out of a pool and you didn't wipe your face off and like the chlorine is just drying your skin out or something. Yeah, you know, it just like looks real stretched and like, whoa. Oh, whoa. That's good.

You kind of look like him when you do. Whoa. Yeah. That's really good. I can do kind of a Biden impression. Yeah. Like, maybe I'll take a picture and you can go to Instagram to see my Biden. I'm just going to put, I'm just going to do my little Photoshopery

and put Biden's face on yours and I don't think anyone's going to realize the difference. There you go. All right, this is a fun little... So there's been a couple of fun little art projects in New York lately. We had the enormous hot dog that grew erect and ejaculated confetti

into the sky over Times Square. Confetti. Confettied. It confettied everywhere. And there was a wrestling ring by the base of it. And just a fun way to celebrate slash make fun of America. And there's also now a video portal set up between New York City and Dublin. And basically it's a live feed that they designed to look like a sci-fi portal.

The aspect ratio is pretty cool. It does kind of look like you're just like looking like you could walk into it and come out on the other side. If I was if I was like on mushrooms, I'm there's like a 15 percent chance'd believe that that's just on the other side, I think. Yeah. Yeah. It's pretty cool. I think I could hop through there. Things started off nicely.

People waving to each other, dancing, siblings having reunions. There was a proposal. Yeah. All very nice. Her Biden impression was featured for a day and a half. My Biden impression was heavily featured. Oh, my face fucking hurts. Ow.

Ow. My fellow Irishman. Ow. But if there's a camera that's live streaming, you have to do dumb shit in front of it. People found out. I don't know what they were doing for that first day, but eventually the law,

people are like, you know what we have to do. There's a social contract that says if there is a camera live streaming, you better do some dumb shit. Basically, the bars opened in Dublin. Right. Probably mere moments after the portal opened because the bars are never not open in dublin i was once walking home from school at two in the afternoon and a woman in like a school marm dress came out of a bar and threw up on my shoes and then went back in to the bar like it's just oh just they go reset yeah they go hard yeah they go hard like from jump street it's it's all like a massive state college campus over there. Just that level of drinking.

That didn't bode well for the people who wanted this to be a fun little art project for people around 3,000 or so miles away. I think it does. I think it rules. This is who we are. But I guess the thing that I'm mad about is that they're not embracing the chaos. Because like we said inevitably people started doing dumb shit okay this is from a article about a quote a number of drunken Dubliners were seen standing in front of the portal pretending to take cocaine you know this is from the pretending to Europe when they say take cocaine take it yeah yeah to commit cocaine holding up their phones to show pornographic videos and showing photos of the twin towers on

this is you did you see that the guy literally just marches up and he's like pointing he's like huh huh remember this 9-11 that's your town right i was in dublin months after 9-11 and a girl i went on a date with was like yeah but you guys you guys kind of deserved it. I was like, damn! And you married her. And you married her. It's me, right? People do get so weird on camera and you see it in local news

stuff and then on the big jumbo screen at sporting events and stuff where I think that's maybe the best representation of how we could have predicted that this was going to happen and yeah i remember when i was in high school i went to like a phillies game with five of my best friends and then we got on the big jumbotron and instinctually they all just started beating the shit out of me like on the camera like they just started like i don't know what it was

yeah i was gonna say they were all at my wedding like they were all my best friends that doesn't make it matter the week those are all my best friends dude then on my wedding they pantsed me when i was giving my vows yeah they totally took the underwear down too yeah you know how best friends are then they threw red paint on me uh but yeah yeah i was wearing a fur coat well another man was seen exposing his quote bare bottom in front of the portal in dublin as a crowd around him cheer i can't believe you could find a single picture of the portal without at least one person mooning it like that feels like it is what it is for, right? Right. What did you think was going to happen? It's for us to do our stupid human tricks across the sea,

and they're going to be like, hey, you want to see my butt? Yeah. Yeah, fine, great, let's do it. But then an OnlyFans creator said, she said she got the portal shut down. As of right now, it is shut down, as they try and figure out some technical solutions to keep within the spirit of what the art piece is.

So I don't know what that means. It's like permanent. I thought it was like shut down for a second. Like as of an article three hours ago in the BBC, it just said the council said the overwhelming majority of interactions are positive, but a small minority of people had engaged in inappropriate behavior and it's been amplified so we will continue to monitor the situation with our partners in new york to ensure that portals continue to deliver positive experience for both cities i i would again argue that showing your ass flashing the camera doing 9-11 memes across the sea that's just what that's what this is for and i don't think we should be trying to do anything else i'm actually genuinely shocked to us that like not one dude started doing helicopters in front of it because i feel like i see that all the time and you're like that we know it's let out right like yeah in

like england or like just in europe like people get the people get the wangs out and they start helicoptering and you know so i guess that was maybe a copter too far get your wang copters out because that's when i brainstorm i truly assumed this was an art piece designed as a transcontinental like mooning and sunning device like what else could you have possibly thought was going to happen? Yeah, right. No, we had some serious conversations about mental health and how to solve the housing crisis. Like, no, it's... Yeah, right. A portal that's supposed to show an unfiltered glimpse of reality

and, like, they shut it down for content that would have been rated PG in the early 80s. Like, boobs and mooning is not even like a PG-13. Yeah. And who would have known a bunch of depraved fucks would be in Times Square, the worst

place in the entire world. Which used to all be like... Think of the children. It used to be just all pornography there. All pornography. You can't even show your breasts to the screen no but which is what i call them i call them breasts i know i know i was i was almost accidentally kicked by someone filming a tiktok dance video when i was in new york a few months ago and that was like i was what the fuck is going

on like everyone uses that area to make tiktok videos now wait you went to times square yeah because when I... For dinner. No, there's some work thing. I was there. I had to go out there. And like the place that I was going to, I had to traverse,

like I had to cross through Times Square to get to it. And I was just like, wow, cool, man. I'm in Times Square. And then some kid was getting sturdy and almost kicked me in my kneecap. Yeah. All right. Let's take another quick break and kicked me in my kneecap. Yeah. All right. Let's take another quick break and we'll come back.

Okay. Okay. Hey, is that cool, you guys? Can we take a quick break? That works for me. All right, cool. Don't leave, though, Blake. Stay right there.

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 boys. 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,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, okay orange shirt i like that on you and i was like i'm i'm the orange boy my god there it is you can control my behavior so completely with one compliment yeah on something i'm wearing i will wear nothing else for a year i stopped shaving my shitty beard because someone in college was like i was like oh it looks like terrible she's like no i kind of remember thinking like oh what's

up with him because he had like the interesting facial hair and i was like, no, I kind of remember thinking like, oh, what's up with him? Because he had like the interesting facial hair. And I was like, you mean because it looks so shitty? She's like, well, you know, but it was interesting. And for a while, I thought that was the move. It's not. I wonder if they know. They must know, right? They're like, watch. Yeah, they're probably like, yo, I convinced this idiot to wear orange and not shave his stupid ass beard.

Someone said it was funny when I was six and I'm still doing stand up. Like, what are we even doing? Exactly, right? Yeah. Yeah. Look at us now. All right. I don't know.

Are we, were we always back is the question. It doesn't matter. We've been back. We've been back. Never been away. All right. We're back. But back to the news.

We have important news. A restaurant in Las Vegas promised a bluey day, and it ended up being not so great. It was kind of wonka experience-ish. But not, I don't know. This feels a little different to me. That's why I wanted to bring it to this triumvirate of great minds. Because ever since that wonka experience in Glasgow, I've always just been dubious of any event that's

geared towards kids. It's like, and we've got characters that you can check out. This hot dog place, they said, hey, it's called Dirt Dog. They're like, yo, Bluey Day. Watch Bluey all afternoon. Face painting, games, Bluey giveaways. Meet Bluey and friends. Guess what? The parents showed

up. And now you can already guess how this ends because why the fuck would we talk about a successful Bluey event? No, no, no. It was so good. It was amazing. The kids had such a good time. The voice work by the people in the suits

was incredible. I'll just play this clip from the local news. It starts off with a little girl saying how upset she was about the bullshit she was seeing in front of her. When I saw him, I just ignored him. I was mad. She said, I saw him and I just

ignored him. I was so mad. Did he look like the cartoon? Did he look like on TV? No. He looked unexpected. We could see his beard. Sophia and other kids look like what like on TV no he he looked like unexpected we could like here's beer Sophia and other kids had the same reaction the bluey they expected was not who greeted them on the left this is a photo a parent took at an

event with the popular cartoon character bluey on the right it's a staff member of dirt dog in a makeshift bluey costume the kids were distraught some kids were crying some kids were upset cryingught. Some kids were crying. Some kids were upset, crying in their parents' shoulders. 3,000 people RSVP'd on the Facebook event. Crowds poured in for hours. There were lines outside in the heat. Inside, concerns about capacity. From the face painting to baked goods, many parents say they were underwhelmed and the free stuff got snatched up quickly how could you do that to to little kids how could you do that to look so when i look at it i'm like it's not it's

it definitely does not rise to the egregiousness of the wanka experience that was like the wanka thing was like existentially troubling on the inside right right right yeah this looks like a restaurant like it looks like a blaze pizza on the inside right that just happens to like have be overcrowded and have some like like have a bluey children's birthday party happening right like that yeah exactly i mean you know like the restaurant like this the restaurant's apology made it feel less because i was like is this a scam or i think this feels more like the restaurant, the restaurant's apology made it feel less scam. Because I was like, is this a scam? Or I think this feels more like.

I love this restaurant. First of all. It's called Dirt Dog. It's a hip hop themed hot dog restaurant. That's great. I was hoping that there would be like more of an old dirty bastard vibe. But I don't know how you pull off an old dirty bastard vibe like in a place that serves food but to kids and they won't do trademark infringement that is one thing they'll

have a bad event but they won't they won't steal possessions i mean exactly that that was a question that occurred to me is like where how the fuck are they they reached out to the creators of bluey and we're like hey we're gonna throw an event with they'd probably get dinged for that at a match right so like this has to be bad news for them one way or another drawing attention to this event but yeah it looks like a blaze pizza with an eminem poster on the wall that's the only poster that i could see just the one you're like really like that's great that's the one hip-hop thing they have yeah yeah and it's from the it's from the encore album not the Encore album. Not even one of his good ones.

Yeah. The fuck Encore. Nobody was fucking with that one. The staff just seemed like real cool, though. Yeah. They were like, wow, Bluey's really popular. Good to know. We won't fuck this up next time.

Good to know. We're like we're high as shit at our hot dog restaurant. It's on a whim thought. Maybe this would be something for the kids. They posted on their social media quote, we are truly sorry this event wasn't to standard. We will work on improving all of the events going forward so we can bring you the highest quality as you all deserve.

We appreciate everyone taking the time to send us your feedback. And some of the feedback was, fuck you. My kids are so upset because you had some guy in a jank ass bandit pajamas. That shit wasn't even bluey because that was a thing that like the people the complaints from parents they feel like very American you know what I mean like we're

shit isn't that bad you know what I mean but you want to act like they were like and they served us broken glass they're like okay dude it was some dude it was sure the costume was janky and it was banded. Okay, that's true. But they were, you know, they were given

free treats and shit. There was a good college effort. They weren't telling you any like AI supernatural effects and shit were going to happen. This is exactly what I would have expected from a free bluey event put on by a hot dog restaurant. Except I think it's a bar. Also, I was looking dog restaurant. I think it's a bar also.

I was looking it up. I think it's almost more a bar with hot dogs at it than it is just a hot dog. So you brought your kids to a bar. You know what I mean? Not to victim blame. Yeah. But I do like the part where the news report is like,

and many parents were underwhelmed. That is the story. That's the essence of the story. It was underwhelming. Right. Right. Right. The costume was a big miss.

I think they fucked up the costume really badly, but that is not the level that requires a local news story. It feels like this is kind of coasting off of the power of that willie wonka story exactly i think that's what i think everybody that's why i was even like another wonka story and then i'm like this feels like it look we get it we we want everybody to we want another sad oompa loompa at a bar, you know? The costume is truly fucked. Like, they really did a bad job with the costume. Yeah, the way that thing is cut, I would not have kids around an adult man in that costume.

No. Yeah, the body part is like a big muumuu, but then the face part is like a flat paper mask that's like rising up over his head because he doesn't want to like actually wear it but look you can entertain a three-year-old with a cardboard box and cranes like that right that's an afternoon for a three hundred percent like you so if there's this much anguish over an event it's probably coming from like you know them reading your shit you know yeah yeah so i don't know anyway just just

get a fucking cardboard guys is it that fucking hard you don't have to take a blue fest just yeah i'm like always amazed at what like what the baby is playing with like he's got all these toys and shit now he just likes to play with the fucking weird stopper behind the door that's like those are great yeah that's like his favorite fucking toy. I was like, what about this thing? This is educational. No, he's fucking playing that shit like a fucking banjo or whatever, like mouth harp.

The bassist. You don't realize how important those door stoppers are, by the way, until you break one, because we have not had one in our door for like, I think maybe eight months, because I just haven't replaced it our neighbors i think are like this is we have to go property values plummeted in the entire it's just the doorknob hitting the wall is so loud and jarring the wall looks like the dream palace at the end of inception where it's just like crumbling. Right. All right.

And finally, big news in the world of AI, kind of, I don't know, they changed the voice basically. I saw like a headline a couple of days back

that was like, open AI releases a new like flirtier chat GPT. And I was like, all right. Like, I don't necessarily want it.

Wait, the way you said that, you're like, all right. Yeah, yeah. No, that was me being, the way you said that, you're like, all right. Yeah, yeah. No, that was me being corny. I thought this one was pretty good. This one's better.

This one already. All right, Scar, yo. Yeah. All right. So they're releasing basically a new AI voice assistant that sounds exactly like Scarlett Johansson from the movie Her. Possibly because they realize that people getting horny for their smartphones is good business. Possibly because Sam Altman is... So Sam Altman, I meant to talk about him more on our tech episode because he's like a real...

He's a lot... Kind of exactly what Ed talks about when he's talking about like manager class people who pose as like i'm an engineer i understand the ins and outs of all this right but then like doesn't like all all he's ever really done is like get wall street excited about an idea that he doesn't truly understand or that he does understand but is trying to get people to misunderstand. Very similar to Elon Musk. So Sam Altman freed, Sam Altman freed. Exactly.

Right back. And we're done here. Actually, that's we, we got to go out on that, but all right, Blake, what's the song miles?

Yeah. Just give us the song following the presentation, though. He tweeted simply the word her, which he has said before is his favorite movie. He's also the person who like talks about how he keeps a gun-fi his technology is, even though experts in the field suggest it's basically just like a glorified autocomplete. But like he's borrowing from the cultural capital that sci-fi films have given us to make billions and billions of dollars like it's the there's this massive market on on wall street that is like based on all this hype around these things that i think he's like miss i can't tell if he's like willfully misunderstanding it or like some of the reporting

on him suggests he like doesn't really understand the code so maybe he really believes his own bullshit and is like finally we've created my girlfriend that has been wanting to fuck forever i love her so much please tell me what i'm looking at these are ducks gliding on the water i mean there's all like i feel like on twitter so many people are just dubious like out the fucking gate in terms of like what they like what it said it was doing and they're like they're probably just training it on the like just these very narrow these very narrow examples um but yeah either way like like you were saying on tuesday we're not past the point of fun party toy you know like that's like what it does it's like oh man get it to write a song about jack's plumpers. And it's like, even then,

Zeitgang is even fucking better than AI. So I'm like, look, no. You're not usurping anybody. Except for maybe being a bad visual artist or something. They're usurping me. My ability to write plumpers is pretty limited. But definitely not Zeitgang.

Yeah, I don't like hearing that. But one thing, OpenAI had to walk back the claims that the AI was designed to sound like Scarlett Johansson because obviously they'd get sued if they didn't. So they're like, we've had these voices forever. But yeah, this is not just open AI. Like, Cybertruck, Elon Musk was like, this is the truck from Blade Runner.

Metaverse is from all sorts of different sci-fi universes. Snow Crash being the most dystopian and upsetting. And now Her, which like the movie Her ends with the protagonist realizing that he actually has to deal with the messiness of human relationships. And the ai is like abandoning humanity right so i mean if they should they need to focus on like the cool shit i get like the overarching themes from sci-fi but like one part was that i wish they could bring back are like the drugs from sci-fi movies yeah i dropped my droid report remember he's like oh he wants some clarity and i'm like

You can find me on Twitter at Jack underscore O'Brien tweet. I've been enjoying I just enjoyed this, uh, history, historic vids tweet, which is like 50% of my feet at this point.

Yeah. That's everyone's fucking feet. It's crazy. This is what basketball looked like 1939. It's just a video of basketball in 1939. And there's these people just like draining the two handed set shots from like way deep. It's kind of impressive, but also everybody just looks completely unathletic and shitty. We always talk about how how basketball is progressive.

It gets better year to year. And if you disagree, watch. You're saying you want to take these jokers on the on the 76ers, man? I mean, this does make me fantasize about how good at basketball I would have been in 1939. I know. Oh, my God. I know. Like, you could block the shot with your elbow.

Like, the way they're shooting it. They're shooting it from the waist. Yeah, exactly. I shoot from the hip, which is not good for basketball. No, no, no, no. Real bad. You should shoot from above your head. Nah, nah. Gotta shoot from the belt

which our uniforms have for some reason. Every basketball uniform has a big belt. Yeah, I guess they didn't have elastic. Also, Stone Cold Jane Austen tweeted one day for mom, one day for dad, a week for sharks

And it's called Slow Burn. And it's just cool. It's like a dreamy soul R&B kind of album. Her voice is fucking just really dope. Really great timbre to that voice. And then Bad, Bad, Not Good. If you know Bad, Bad, Not Good and their musical stylings, great timbre to that voice. And then Bad Bad Not Good, if you know Bad Bad Not Good and their musical stylings,
