I'm going to do my overrated now during the cold open yeah the fuck you're messing with the format man my overrated is um spoiling

or under overrated is being mad at spoiling movies I think just spoil movies all the time I'm not going to do it for you because I know you'll be mad but I think you guys need to relax but here's my little joke here's my little joke that I'm doing in the cold open and we're not going to do an overrated when it comes time, which is that I think weapons is set in the Naked Gun universe.

And that's all I'll say. That's all I'll say. And that is in no way going to affect how I watch weapons. But there is a, there's a pen and pad. There's multiple points, but really one main point that has a shocking similarity between the two movies. Wow. Okay.

Now I'm excited because I have seen Naked Gun. I agree, don't, like, I, spoiling movies doesn't bother me unless it's like either a big twist ending or it's a comedy movie. I don't want to hear jokes before they happen in the movie because that does genuinely. Oh, sure, sure, sure.

Even subtitles fuck that up. The joke, yeah, yeah. But that's, that's also bad even after. I would argue that's not the spoiler of it. That's the problem. It's that people can't tell jokes. You should leave it to the professional. That's right.

Everybody should shut the fuck up and stop trying to be funny. Repeating jokes fucking sucks. Yeah. Well, but you can work in Austin as a comic. This is an I-Heart podcast. December 29th, 1975, LaGuardia Airport.

It no longer exists. Don't cry for me because I'm already dead. My name is Jack O'Brien, AK. I'm so scared about how my infant will fare, and I'm warning all my listeners beware. Dread fires to the left of me. shootings to the right here I am stuck in the district with you courtesy of Johnny Davis short show title spice on the discord my infant nearly died in a drug fire after mass shootings so that's why that's why you need to send send them in also he said he said aka the making fun of Bob Dylan song that was the only song of theirs anyone cares about little known little known fact that I love Steelers wheel was a band And then they made that song, which everybody's like, oh, that Bob Dylan song, not a Bob Dylan song. They were mocking Bob Dylan, and it's the only hit they've ever made.

They're like, hey, Bob Dylan, this is you. Clans to the left of me, jokers. Watch out. Everyone was like, hell yeah, dog, this shit bops. Gavin Newsom, my Steelers wheel his way to the White House.

Daddy? Bring me back to life. It's all a blend. It's one of those genres. That genre of music is just all one song. The rap rock era. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I just never got.

And there wasn't that much rapping in Evanescence. I mean, Amy Lee kind of had her own thing. Miles were thrilled to be joined in our third seat by an agent of chaos, apparently, a hilarious and brilliant producer and TV writer. You know him from the Yosus Racist podcast. It's Andrew Tee. I'm going to caveat this one. No, I'm not.

Because Jack's piss, Jack's piss is on your list. Because Jack's piss, Jack's piss. On your list? Is on your list? I don't know. Yeah, I guess it would be lips. People have not stopped fucking, it's just the Discord is still piss pitches all the way up and down. And then also, all of the suggestions for AKAs on the Discord regarding me are impossible to comprehend if you have not listened to upwards of 500 episodes of The Daily Time Guys.

Yeah, yeah, that's what it is. This is the format. We like to do an incredibly deep inside joke at the top to just alienate anybody who might be a new listener. Exactly. Knock that out right up front.

Yeah, yeah. That helps people when they go, hey, I listen to that podcast that you suggested. What the fuck? What the fuck are they talking about? What the fuck is it? What the fuck are you talking about? Anyway,

it's all pissed. And then the only other one was a, was one that is a, essentially like, can only be used on an episode where me and Marcella are back on at the same time. At the same time? Not really.

Anyway, thank you, Zygang. I love the pister actions. The piss, I don't know. Yeah, the pistol ins upon us. Yeah. I did want to say I went to high school with Andrew W.K. I don't know if you guys remember him. You did?

But all that party stuff was also sarcastic, because we grew up in Ann Arbor, Michigan. And he literally wrote, I remember, because I had the first seven-inch, and we were like, I wasn't, like, super good friends with him, but, like, some of my friends were really good friends with him. And he was literally like, this is what these fucking frat boys sound like. Yeah. And he wrote Party Hard. Right, right, right. And it, like, turned into whatever. And he just became that person in a great way, I think.

That's one of my favorite articles we did back at Cracked was, like, a bunch of songs that were, like, basically, they were, like, massive. hit songs that were done sarcastically. Yeah. Oh, right, right, right. Elvis's whole thing, Elvis's whole shit, where he's like, um, the bad, like, that voice, like, he sang a couple songs that were just like him singing, like a normal person. And they were like, this kind of sucks.

And then, like, they were just fucking around. And he was like doing a bit. And they were like, more of the, do, do, do hard a guy. Like, he was being an asshole. Holy shit. And that's where. we got the whole Elvis thing from. That's what the Gangnam style, tub thumping.

I guess it's a lot of party anthems are cynical people being like, do you know what you don't fuck sound like? And then everyone would be like, we love this. Yeah, that is what we sound like. It's fucking rules. Thank you so much. Hey, this fucker gets it, dude. Yeah, that's crazy.

We have Andrew WK lore on this podcast. So much on this podcast, yeah. Yeah. I won't get into it any more than that. but how many years do you have to have been listening to the show to get what's happening on the show do you think i mean it's yeah new i i just wonder what new people are thinking go on the discord and just tell me what you're thinking what you think first time listeners just hop in the discord which you have to it's probably like doing drugs for the first time it's really disorienting to start right and then

you kind of settle into it and you're like yeah you know what i could fucking do this every day and it's constantly but and it's also i guess a little bit like you just go with it because of context clues and then eventually it's more. Yeah, it's a little puzzle that we make for you. It has nothing to do with us being bad at our jobs. It's actually we're intentionally doing a puzzle for you.

That's what you. Dude, Taylor Swift does the Easter egg shit all the time, bro. Thank you. It's lore. And if you find it confusing, it's because you're not caught off in the lore. Oh, I'm sorry. Does Taylor Swift are the only good artist? Does she open every album being like, okay, this is a song

that I'm going to write with like a guitar? No, she's challenging, Andrew. She challenges her listeners. And that's really the inspiration that we take into every day, every recording. Oh, man, I like that song. It's nice to have a friend. You heard that one? No. It is really. It's just like. Wait, Taylor Swift. Is it Taylor Swift? She has a song called it. It's nice to have a friend. I would say it's one of the least challenging songs I've ever heard, but it sounds wonderful. And it is a statement that I can get on board with.

That is, I, that is obviously, I'm sure it's great. Yeah. She knows what she's doing songwriting and songwriting collaborator-wise. That song sounds like, if you told me that it was an Elmo joint, I would believe. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'd be like, yo, Elmo is fucking

cooking. Yeah. Okay, Elmo. That sounds so sad. What the fuck? Yo, do you see Elmo collab with Max Martin again? that I, what a little method I have is I will add a song that I like, that I like, I'm not going to put on my mix, but I'll put it on my kids mix.

And I'm listening to that probably more anyways than my own mix. And then they're like, why is this song our mix? I'm like, shut up. I'm listening to it. What's this whack-ass shit, dad? Here's a question for the dads out there. Is my reference, is my calling stuff targeted towards young children Elmo stuff? Is that a boomer mentality here? Is there something

I should be updating that to? My kid fucks with Elmo heavy. Yeah, Elmo's still out there. There's so many Elmo spin-off shows, bro. Also, just the sentiment, it's nice to have a friend is some straight-up Elmo shit. Yeah. You know what I mean? I guess everything, everything that, like, Elmo says, you could also probably put in the words of, like, an alcoholic who's just hit rock bottom.

And it kind of, it kind of reads the same way. So basic. The most basic humane. But the sentiment is the same. Yeah, I mean, actually, yeah, it's nice to have a friend you could basically read as Elmo, and it sounds like an Elmo song. I forget who the stand-up is who talks about how Mr. Rogers' statement that, like, is also very easy to read as a serial. Actually, I'm not going to do this because I don't know who the stand-up comedy is. We were just talking about, don't tell jokes, you know.

Yeah, all right. Anyways. I did say leave it to the professionals, and like it or not, you guys are professional. That's absolutely not true. got to go. Andrew T. We're thrilled to have you here. And especially feisty mood. We're going to get to know you a little bit.

In a moment, first, we're going to tell the listeners a couple of things we're talking about. We're going to check it with the New York mayoral race, the general election. Eric Adams still out here. Yeah. That was so weird for me to realize that he was going to be the candidate opposite Momdani. Like, once Momdani won, I was like, oh, and then Cuomo was going to come back. and there's that Curtis LeWood guy. And then they were like, no, Adams is still in the race.

I was like, bud, what? He's, how? How can he still? Eric Adams, the one investigated by the feds. Yeah. Anyways, he's not doing well in the race, but he is still in the race. And there's a great new anecdote from his campaign that we want to talk about, also just like how things are going for the anti-Mamondani movement.

They've been trying hard. Yeah. You mean the Democrats? All types. It takes all types to stop a movement, you know? So we'll talk about how that's going for them. And then we, of course, one of my favorite things ever is when a brand, when a brand redesigns a logo disastrously. The Pepsi logo redesign is my favorite thing. I think like Gawker did like, I had forgotten how short the Gawker article is where they just like, combed through the deck, yeah, 150-page deck that this redesign firm did for Pepsi and just like

pulled out the choicest nuggets. It's like a single-page Gawker article, probably my favorite single page in the history of the internet. So I just want to talk about the redesign of the Cracker Barrel logo because it is being portrayed as like MAGA is outraged about this and I just like, we need to,

we cannot seed this ground. Like when we need to We need to be on the side that We need to stand up and say No, we think this sucks too Cracker Barrow redesigning their logo Sucks. But not for the same.

Not because the old white guy went poof. This is Jack reaching across the aisle. This is my part of the area. We should cross the aisle and saying this fucking sucks. We can work together. We can. All of that plenty more. But first Andrew T.

We do like to ask our guest, what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are. Oh, yeah. I actually, I also don't remember how far I got into this last time I was on the show, so I'm just going to do it, and Jack, go ahead and correct me if people have heard this already. Are you, you know what, fuck you if you've heard this already. I don't care. Oh, my God. It is other uses for sodium citrate. So what happened was I got, I was making some hatch chili cheese sauce, so K-So type situation, and it seized up a little bit.

The initial batch was like, okay, but then when I moved it, it seized up. Seized up, like, congealed? Congealed, yeah, and the emulsion didn't hold, so the oil was starting to separate from the protein broke, which, yeah, very standard. It happens with, you know, non-emulsified cheese sauces. And I knew in the back of my head, the thing. To my man. He's back, bro, he's back. The thing you're supposed to do that, like the fucking, I don't know, I guess I heard of it in the heyday of the idea of molecular gastronomy.

But it's just, you know, regular-ass chemistry. Anyway, there's a substance called sodium citrate that is, to put it in terms that I, this is the thing that I kind of came up with, that is what I can understand. It's the thing that turns cheese into cheese with a Z. To goo. Right. it's and it is honestly amazing I love it so much so I was just like thinking out loud at my friend's place where I brought the the queso that had seized up and I was like well we'd need like I don't know fucking I was like okay well I guess I could make another rue and then if we add some beer to it I think we could thin this out and like re you know make it creamy and I was like otherwise we'd need some sodium citrate and my man reaches into the back of his pantry and pulls out a fucking little baggy of sodium citrate and we mix up

a little just water and sodium citrate solution and mix it in this thing and it is fucking magic. It turned this like lump of cheese in like one of the like kind of the big Tupperware in the like four inch cubic tupperware.

It was solid cheese with like maybe closer to half a centimeter than not of oil on top. Yeah, you pour that thing out. It's going to like shit out slowly out of the thing. It was real grainy and real gross. And the sodium citrate solution, my God, it turned it into cheese whiz. Quite literal cheese whiz, but with nice cheese. And so now I bought myself a baggie of this and I'm trying to use it. I'm on the, you know, I'm on the fucking, I'm playing the rush as it were.

I'm really loving it. But I'm sure my enthusiasm will calm down. But holy shit. I made like the best mac and cheese I've ever made yesterday with just like Parmesano Reggiano grated some of that in there, some shredded cheddar cheese, hatch chili. Does it do it for anything else besides cheese? Yeah, what happens if you put it on a snail?

I can't imagine it goes well. Oh, my badger. Wait, did you say a snail? No. Yeah. Well, I don't know. Did you know what happens? That's like a French thing, I assume. Yeah. Exactly. For escargo. A nice little paste.

Wait, but you said all, other uses for us? What are the other uses? I mean, you can put it in like beverages and like jams and stuff. It's basically like like a really good amultifier and stabilizer. But I think the thing that is like, the thing that to me seems most magic and I, I'm just, you know, from reading about it, I think it's the thing that most people will think is the most magic is the cheese. Again, it's the cheese to cheese with a Z. She's liquidation. Yeah, but not. It's not even. It's just like it turns it into whatever the fuck cheese whizzes. Yeah, it's ooze.

It's like water or like whatever flavored liquid you want. I used broth in mine. And loose bits of shredded cheese, like the most disgusting thing you can kind of think of. And it just melts it and it turns it into a homogenous

like solution. It's so fucking good. Anyway. Oozifier, little oozy vert's full name. If you need some sodium citrate, I got a real real not a real big bag but a pretty big bag all things consider it for a half o or what yeah yes really yes uh and your friend who you who just had that shit on deck is a meth cook i'm assuming yeah i wish i think he's just like a he's like like a like aspiring food guy so aspiring

actually when you know the other day too i was over there and i was like oh well i mean it's only one duck breast, but it would be kind of dope if we smoked it. And Homeboy broke out, like, one of those, like, bell jar dome things with, like, with like a little, like, rubber tube and like a, you know, essentially like a reverse vaporizer. Yeah, yeah, yeah, like a student glass, probably that was, yeah, yeah, okay. It was, yeah, it was, it just, he always has shit like that around. So I should have known he had motherfucking sodium citrate, but.

Or, again, possibly a drug guy. All that shit sounds like. I mean, also a drug guy. blowing smoke into a bell jar. He's like, yo, we should dip this in some methlamine I got. What is something? So we did, we already covered the overrated? Yeah, I guess so.

In the cold open. Oh, maybe it was underrated, overrated, whatever. This one might be a miles only kind of jam. It's being mad that your mom was right about some stupid Asian shit that when you were a kid, you were certain was wrong. No. And here's mine. Growing up, my mom would routinely say, no, on a hot day, what you want to have is hot soup, because that will cool you down.

And like, I think, like many Americans, but many, I would say people even, that sounds fucking crazy and unpleasant. And I, the other day, when it was very hot in Los Angeles, I was like, fuck it, I just want some fah. I went and got fah in like an unair-conditioned restaurant in Chinatown. So sweaty. What I will say is it did not cool me down, particularly, but it made me so hot that I, like, couldn't think anymore, and I didn't, I wasn't worried about the heat. So, yeah, comparatively, because you've just scalded the inside of your body

that you go outside and the ambient temperature, it's like that highdecker on, I think you should leave. It's like, it's hot if you're not expecting it to be, you know? Yeah, yes. Exactly. It's supposed to be ice cold. It's supposed to be ice cold, this is roomed. Ah, exactly.

So I think in that sense, yeah, for the week. It's so dumb. I think we're at the age where that sketch, that sketch changed my behavior. I started stretching every morning after that sketch. That sketch is one where it's not even a focus of the sketch, but every time he shifts on the couch, she goes, oh. And I was like, I need to do mobility exercises. I do that.

I interpreted that as hemorrhoids, but yeah, could be mobility. Oh, yeah, yeah. I just, I do it when, when I thankfully, I think I've gotten myself out of the part of life, or not like of the, of inflexibility, where that becomes a constant involuntary sound that I make, but they're like, oh. It was tying my shoes where it got bad. I was like, oh. I went in the ocean when I was back east and got like rocked by the waves and like for the next 24 hours when I would either sit down or stand up I was making the most old man I was being like oh boy oh you were doing like that was vocalizing I taught myself doing like here we go yeah yeah all right you got this oh you got this okay

yeah yeah and and that's because I'm young and cool yeah yeah well that was an injury but I will say I have found, I think I've talked about this on this show before, just a wee bit of stretching in the morning. Yeah, oh yeah, you got to. So much more than I want to admit. That was my, that was my grandfather's end of life advice to me. Yeah. I was like, one piece of advice.

Yeah, when he's getting to the end, I was like, bro, like just info dump, wisdom dump on me. And he's like, man, the one thing, he's like, you got to stretch. Make sure you stretch. He's like, don't let your shit get like fucking tight and just seize all. up on you need to start out like okay damn if that's what you're thinking now i'm like shit okay the time that the besides actually these are both Netflix properties we'll listen to this is simply the power of media um and the magic of the movies but this this came up for me when someone reviewed the Irishman which is which is has De Niro with like a youthful face swap yeah the deage

and they point are yeah yeah yeah and essentially that the reviewer was like you know The face is not as bad as you think, but he still looks his age because his movements are that of, you know, his age, which is fine. It has a scene where, yeah, where they've de-aged him and he, like, beat somebody up. Yes. And it is the least, it's just like, guys, get a fucking body double here. What are we doing? Like, you're just worried the whole time that he's going to topple over as he's supposed to be, like, showing off what a badass he is. And you're just like, oh, buddy, your legs aren't bending.

Yeah. Why is your hand on your hip as you lean down to function? Like, oh, all right. I honestly thought about that scene when Mike Tyson fought that racist kid. Like the- Which one? Oh, Jake and or Logan, Paul? Yeah, whichever are the Paul brothers. Oh, yeah, yeah.

Because of like his legs, Roy Jones Jr. in the first round was like, I don't like Mike's legs, and I was immediately like, that is exactly right. And I thought of the scene in the Irishman where, like, you could tell that he is not under the age of 60 because of the way he's, like, walking without bending his, like, there's no lightness. He's not light on his feet in any way. Yeah. It's really telling. And Tyson used to be, as a fighter, like, so, that was a thing that I didn't really appreciate until I did a little bit of pocket. thing is like he would like literally like drop it low sometimes during fight oh yeah he was so insanely

flexible and like deft on his feet his heels so yeah that's a to me an underrated part of his game because everyone feared the power but it's like no he can he can duck in a way that i did not realize a human being could do my back out trying to yeah i'm deneuro right now yeah fuck fuck call my nurse call my nurse all right let's take a quick break to just rest and stretch out do our mobility exercises oh my god the video of miles doing this all right we'll be back to get into this we'll be right back we'll be right back The holiday rush, parents hauling luggage, kids gripping their new Christmas toys.

Then, at 6.33 p.m., everything changed. There's been a bombing at the TWA terminal. Apparently, the explosion actually impelled metal, glass. The injured were being loaded into ambulances.

Oh, my God. He's still in it. It's just fun. He's still in it. He's still in it, baby. He's, you know, Zorn Mamdani, getting a lot of the attention. But, you know, Eric Adams, every once in a while he'll pop back in, be like,

don't forget about me, motherfucker. Still here, still relevant. Still talking about the Twin Towers and corruption. So Thursday morning, his former chief advisor who quit fucking out of nowhere in December was just hit with all kinds of charges related to her love of bribes and other grease payments. She's accused of accepting more than $75,000

in bribes while serving in the mayor's administration. And the alleged conspiracy was outlined in four indictments, two of which included her son. The indictment alleges that her son received $50,000 in exchange for steering city contracts for asylum seeker shelter sites for preferred property owners to help fast track permit approvals for a karaoke bar in Queens. This feels like par for the course of a New York City mayor. This is what I feel like a New York City mayor who's not doing this, not doing their job. At least it's small. There's another one where she was steering permits and stuff in order to get home renovations for herself.

And then there's like so many other ones that involve free food, like thousands of dollars in catering is like the other grift. Okay. But the other side of this is like, it's only thousands of dollars in catering. Every political bribe I've ever heard. I'm not saying they're small amounts of money. They are. They suck.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. At least 10 times smaller than I think they should be for right. Yeah, yeah. Then, like, what is happening in the world of like Wall Street and finance, where they're just like moving, casually moving, you know, like millions of dollars is like, yeah, it's only millions of dollars, you know, is how they think about it. Politicians are so broke. It's like kind of, it's kind of endearing. I mean, that's why I think that's why corporations are like, bro, you know what I can get for 50 grand? Yeah.

Yeah. Do you know what I can get? I can get a guy fucking killed. Yeah. I mean, literally. A corporation doesn't have a way to keep track of 50 grand like that when it comes to the big budget. It doesn't matter. It comes out in the wash.

Yeah, exactly. This next story, this next anecdote is like that to the most extreme that I've ever heard. To the point that I was like, she's not. This is not like a bribe. Until the very end, I was like, this is not a bribe. This is like, this person just like for some reason doesn't understand that this looks weird. Okay. So, so then, okay, so that's just, that was the teaser.

Here's the fucking entree. So Wednesday, Eric Adams had an event for the new, for a new campaign office. He was opening in Harlem. And one of his advisors, this woman, Winnie Greco, who is like his conduit to like the Asian American community in New York, saw a local reporter that covers like city hall affairs and attendance. She texts that journalist and is like, hey, can you meet me like across the street? They go to the Whole Foods around the corner.

And the reporter's like, all right, this is fucking weird. But, like, yeah, I'm a journalist. So, of course, if like some person who's been investigated by the feds before, it's like, hey, you want to meet up, I'm going to fucking see what's up. So they get to the Whole Foods. They have a brief convo. And this woman, Greco handed the journalist, Katie Honan, a bag of, like, sour cream and onion hers chips. And she's like, oh, no, I'm good.

I'm not hungry. No, thank you. But Greco kept insisting, she take it. And she's like, no, I'm fine. She's like, just keep it. Just take it and keep it. take this open bag of potato chips. Just take it.

I know you, and maybe look in it later. So I'm going to let this article from The City, which is the outlet that Honan works for, just the way they written up, it's amazing. So quote, the two parted ways before entering a nearby subway station, Honan opened the bag and discovered a red envelope inside stuffed with cash, at least one $100 bill in several 20s. The reporter then called Greco and told her she could not accept the money and asked if she was still nearby so she could give it back.

Greco said she'd left the area. Honan told her she had to take the money back and Greco said they could meet at some point in Chinatown. The reporter then texted Greco, quote, I can't take this. When can I give it back to you? She did not get a response. In an interview later Wednesday, the city asked Greco what her intention was, the paper, yeah, what her intention was in handing money to the reporter. In response, she said she'd made a, quote, mistake and apologized. Quote, I make a mistake, she said, I'm so sorry, it's a culture thing. I don't know. I don't understand. I'm so sorry. I feel so bad right now. I'm so sorry, honey. I'm so sorry, honey. She is the best way to

apologize for political for getting caught for your, for your fucking $140 bribe. She then called the city back advising that we call her attorney, Stephen Brillen, adding, can we forget about this? I tried to be a good person. Please, please, please don't do in the news nothing about me. I just wanted to be her friend. I just wanted to have one good friend. It's nothing. So then. That is where I'm fully on her side. She, her denial, her style of denial has fully worked on me. And I'm like, this is just a sad person who like has no concept of what's going on. Just maybe it has some sense.

Like she's been working in the Eric Adams office and just keep seeing people handing bags of cash back and forth. And so she's like, this is just how people interact. It just looked like everyone just passes the same 80 bucks back. forth. That's the important thing. It's like, I don't know. It's like a hot potato of hot potato chips bag that I give people. So they call her lawyer. This is what the lawyer says, quote, I can see how this looks strange, but I assure you that Winnie's intent was purely innocent. In the Chinese culture, money is often given to others in a gesture of friendship and gratitude. Winnie is apologetic and embarrassed by any negative impression or confusion this may have caused. Come on now. Don't

Don't blame the culture, Winnie. Although, look, she did put it in a red envelope. So she did put it in a red envelope. Is this a photo of the document from the article, I assume? That's from that. That's from the article. Red envelope inside a bag of chips. Also, she ate a lot of the fucking chips, though.

This is trash. Mostly chips God. But I was on her side until you find out that the feds rated two of her properties during an investigation into straw man donations. So she also did it. There's another investigation into her where she pressured a quote campaign campaign volunteer to do personal tasks for her

for in exchange for getting a city job. Sick. It was awesome. I listen, I know we already talked about the state of the bribe economy, but seriously, this is so fucking little money. This is, yeah, yeah. This is wild.

It's way more embarrassing than anything. Yeah, because that's more the story that it's like, bro, 140 bucks in a bag of chips in this economy? The bag of chips. This is literally like, like, I would be like,

okay, it's time to like talk about options for mom if she did this. Right, right, right. This can, well, this can buy you seven bags of chips.

What am I going to do with this? What I'm going to do with this? The bag of chips that they put it in is more valuable. I think it would be more. I would have, not to, not to pitch to all the corrupt officials out there. I think it would make more.

to just be like, I forgot I put my money and my chips. That's actually smart. Yeah. Like, this is shit. I gave her that one. That was for my nephew. It's his birthday. I wanted to try the sour cream and onion. In the Chinese culture, when you give a gift, it's in it. That was for my young nephew.

I'm so sorry. I haven't had this flavor of hers sour cream and onion chips. I remember in the office, they allude to this flavor. New Chinese stereotype just dropped. I know. Money in the chips. I love it. They're always putting money in the chips. Have you noticed this about them?

There's a New York magazine article that's also just talking about how overall, there were many attempts to get an anti-Mamondani thing going. And all those attempts appear to be working out to not much. He's way ahead of Cuomo on the polls. Obviously, the polls were. wrong on the first one, but they were wrong in a very specific direction that the mainstream media tends to favor. And also, Cuomo, the only advantage that Cuomo had besides his like magnetism was his just complete star power, magnetism, and normal human being energy is the just massive

amounts of money that he was raising. And he is for the general election, raising less than he is for the primary. Oh, no. Behind where he was in an election that was his to lose, and he lost it pretty convincingly. Now he's way behind in this election and has less money to work with, which people think is not good for him. I also just, the New York Magazine article attributes it to,

they're like, and, you know, I don't think he's going to catch him because Zoran is very talented, which, I feel like we're going to see more and more this idea that like... It's not the ideas. It's this one person. It's not the policies. It's one person who's just...

It's because he's cute. Yeah. The Democrats have a cute problem is all. They need to go out and find people with embarrassing rap careers in their past. That's actually what the people are looking for. Anything but the policies. I'm right here. I'm right here.

I used to be in a rap career. group with Shailabuff, okay? That's true. Terrifying. That's why Trump keeps making it, you know? He's just so hot. He's just so fucking hot. It's so fucking hot right now. Can't get away from it. God damn it. All right. Let's take a quick break. We'll be right back. Parents hauling luggage, kids gripping their new Christmas toys. Then, at 6.33 p.m., everything changed. There's been a bombing at the TWA terminal. Apparently, the explosion actually impelled metal glass.

The injured were being loaded into ambulances. Just a chaotic, chaotic scene. In its wake, a new kind of enemy emerged, and it was here to stay. Terrorism. Law and order criminal justice system is back. In season two, we're turning our focus to a threat that hides in plain sight. That's harder to predict and even harder to stop.

A foot washed up a shoe with some bones in it. They had no idea who it was. Most everything was burned up pretty good from the fire that not a whole lot was salvageable.

These are the coldest of cold cases, but everything is about to change. Every case that is a cold case that has DNA. Right now in the backlog will be identified in our lifetime. A small lab in Texas is cracking the code on DNA. Using new scientific tools, they're finding clues in evidence so tiny you might just miss it. He never thought he was going to get caught, and I just looked at my computer screen, and I was just like, ah, gotcha.

And we're back. And so the big news story, you know, the president is using the military to occupy the nation's capital, like Lisa, that we all forget that he is probably a serial pedophile. But the real big news story over the past couple days, on social media has been the redesign of the cracker barrel logo specifically

the decision to as everybody at the same time made noted on Twitter they removed both the cracker and the barrel

the old the elderly white man and the barrel are gone and it's just the words cracker barrel in a font that is

not very, like, I mean, it's the same colors. Same one. It kind of looks like the font for Continental Tires. And, very specific reference.

Folgers, I feel like, or one of the, like, coffee brands, I feel like has a similar font. What is, I've never been to a Cracker Barrow in my life.

I guess I have. What are they, what's the food there? Like, shit? No, good. It's fine.

I thought it was good. Yeah, it's like breakfast food. What's the cuisine? So the things that I've gotten there are biscuits and gravy. Producer Catherine said bacon is a vegetable there. And so is mac and cheese. Oh, yes. That's, thank you, Kathy, everybody into terms of things.

It's like, what if Denny's was dinner? Yeah, yeah. It's like a little bit better than Denny. So it has like a folksy, like they have little things on the walls, like little things. like little historical thing. Didn't they used to have like shit on the floor? Did they used to have shit on the floor there or no? I don't think so. That's Texas Roadhouse that had like peanuts on the floor and sawdust. And then they cleaned it up and then they're like, they're fucking woke now because they got rid of the shit on the floor. I think you're saying for that I obviously it's

such a hack thing to be like, where did all these peanut allergies come from? But I got to imagine if you actually, you know, if you had a peanut allergy, the place with broken peanut shells all over the The ground is pretty rough. Yeah, yeah. That's just a very good point. That's far from, like, banning peanut butter and jelly sandwiches at lunch. It's like, just ambient peanut dust is kind of our main feature. What if it was aerosolized?

Yeah. That's what we had for ambiance, is ambient, is airborne. Yeah, we've aerosolized peanut allergies into the, allergens into the air. But yeah, so everybody is. responding like this is the Bud Light campaign that enraged transphobes and I don't

I don't understand that they're like it's the erasure of white men is that the truth of the complaint basically because they got rid of fucking that's heritage I'm sure it really is I guess I had never looked at a

cracker barrel logo as much as I have in the last 10 minutes but it is a very very very the original logo very busy. It has like a half tone

relatively detailed illustration of an old white man on a sitting on a chair and leaning on a barrel and then the like graphic part of the logo starts. So it's like kind of like a bean-shaped It's a lot.

It's so much going on. It is wild. I don't even think the CB is centered in the fucking logo either. No. The bees. There's a lot of design choices. happening here, which is fine. Like, clearly this was

meant to be like it was carved. But the, like, if you go inside a cracker barrel, everything is like that. Like, that is the vibe of a cracker barrel. Like, everything is, like, it's just junk. Like, it's, it is both a restaurant and a junk drawer. Yes, right. There's like a gift

shop in everyone. There's a gift shop that is just like, like, there's little, like, math games and stuff like that, like that, a game with, like, a different. I would describe it as corn-pone-ass- Garbage. Yeah.

Corpona's garbage is right. Corpone. And yeah, like, that's the, that is the energy of it. Like, I, I do think this is an objectively bad logo design for a company that this is. The fun is how screwy it is. Yeah, exactly. And, like, how kind of old, like, the whole thing feels like it is, it's a Disney attraction for, like. Also, it is very clear that the old logo.

utterly unusable on social media. Like, honestly, unusable and anything other than, like, 300 pixels wide. Yeah, yeah. You need to be fucking enormous. To be, I just don't understand why they didn't just take the graphic part and just use it on.

Presumably, presumably this all happened because whoever runs their Twitter account was like, or sorry, whoever runs their true social account was like, you can hardly see the logo. Right. Can't make out what's happening. So just use a different one for social media.

Yeah, well, because everything, you know, everything is moving, or not moving, it already has moved towards minimalism in terms of like logo design. Yeah. And it's just getting, everything is getting stripped down more and more and more and more. It's like, I think this like slight wave can represent the entire logo that used to be iconic. So like in this sense with the Cracker Barrel thing, I'm like, I get everything, everyone wants to be minimal. But then that's funny too, because you see a resurgence. of retro design stuff

come back too which it was way more maximal and now it's all fucking just fucking just don't the good redesigns I've seen in the past like handful of years are Pepsi

and we'll get into their logo redesign from the early there's so much written here about this I can't believe but like Pepsi finally went back to having the thing

fucking centered with the word Pepsi written between the like red and the blue swirls and Burger King like did a retro version of Burger King where they were like,

remember when we were good? Yeah. This movement away to just like a font. I don't know. What if our, what if,

Jaguar, like that car brand, which used to have a fucking... Jaguar. Sick as Jaguar. She used to have a sick fucking Jaguar about to like eat something, just like pouncing.

Just like moved over to looking like, I don't know, some brand of like wellness, fucking water or something. like a wellness spot. Yeah, it looks like, B-O vitamins. The Jaguar logo design sounds like it goes, uh-huh.

Yeah, it looks like the colors behind it should have like bubbles bubbling up from inside of it. I do very much wish that Cracker Barrel had also led, I'm assuming it was the like son of the owner of Cracker Barrel, the CEO Cracker Barrel who pitched this like Gen Zification of it. Or like, I wish they'd fully committed to doing one, futurist Cracker Barrel location. Just like completely stark beige walls and just like

troughs of whatever. I don't know, like some Logan's run like type shit. That's what I want. Soilent. I want soil. Soilent Cracker Barrel. It's Julie Messino is getting all the heat now, the CEO and president of Cracker Barrel. Yeah. Yeah.

Why can't they go back to the time when their founder had a public policy of not hiring gay employees. Those were the good old days. My request, I'd love for companies to keep doing this because anything that moves people

in the direction of being like, oh, corporations are like dumb and bad and don't know what they're doing is great. I just would love for them to make all the paper, like all the decks publicly available. Because show your work. How'd you get here? Show your work, please.

I want to hear. The bullshit. Like that... Leak the decks. Leak the decks. Yeah, but before the Epstein files, release the Cracker Barrel logo redesign decks. The Jaguar, the Cracker Barrel.

The Pepsi one is like one of the great moments of like just realizing how fucking stupid and broken like everything is. Just the everybody will link off to the article. I've linked off to it probably a hundred times of this podcast. They paid several hundred million dollars to change their logo from like the iconic one that you probably picture in your mind when you think of Pepsi to the one where it was like off center and like no people were like oh, it kind of looks like the Obama logo. Yes. But not really. So wild. And like the deck is so great.

Just like such amazing bullshit. like they have in one part they have like magnetic dynamics and like they have a picture of like the globe it's the magnetic field of the actual earth jack and i think you should pay attention to the undulation of those waves because i feel like there's a there's room for pepsi there i'm sure is what this asshole said in a fucking meeting so c is magnetic dynamics magnetic fields are impacted by radiation and wind motion and then C the Pepsi

Globe dynamic This one. Emotive forces shape the gestalt of the brand identity. Yeah. Duh. Obviously.

I will say every major every major logo redesign is basically just wealth redistribution to people who do LSD work. To design people who do LSD work. Yeah.

And you know what? I'm not mad at that. Although now it's goes a chat GPT. Yeah. Exactly. I mean, these people should continue to have enough money

to do a bunch of drugs of burning, man. But as we know, continued investment provided Pepsi with a clear resource for reinvention, as the deck was quoted. They've got this one that is the old logo and it's got two lines through it. One is like a, you know,

like the ray from geometry where it's like a line pointing in one direction. One is moving from convention to innovation along a horizontal axis, and then the other one that is like shooting upwards and giving off

the new Pepsi logo is going from DNA to future. Of course, the two ends of that axis. Yes. What's the, okay, what's the opposite of DNA? Future. Future. Exactly.

Thank you. And that's where the fucking Pepsi logo comes. You know what I will also say, though? It's that like, this is just like the clearest example of why when, when like people like business leaders deride the humanities, hey, bro, if you were better versed in design and aesthetics and wet art history, you wouldn't be able to be hoodwinked by this. Right. Your ignorance is what allows you, allows this industry to thrive. It's not that this stuff is bullshit.

I mean, in this case, it's bullshit. But if you just had some basic fluency and didn't require a consultant to tell you about aesthetics, you would not be susceptible to this type of more or less fraud. It's fucking unbelievable. Yeah. I mean, like, yeah, right. A charlatan comes in and writes these fucking buzzwords down, like fucking Euclidean geometry. Yeah.

Like, oh, fuck, dude. That's so sick. And the asshole who did the pitch is like, bro, I did this shit in fucking 20 minutes. I yelled at my assistant. was doing Coke all fucking week. I'm improvising it now. Anyway, yeah. So that's what we're saying here.

And we're definitely moving into a more sort of Cartesian, I guess, if you will, philosophical design language. And I think that would really just, it would align well with the brand identity as we move from DNA on one end of the spectrum, break the paradigm, and move into future. Oh, my God. The chart with three, it was five thousand years worth of historical. So it starts at 3,000 BC with like design concepts from back then, but like not really. I don't know.

It just seems like a random assortment of shit to 600 BC. There's like the Renaissance is on there. Feng Shui is on there. 278 BC Fang Shui up through 1858, Mobius Strip, 1948. I can't read that. The modular. The modular. 2009, Pepsi.

And then a question mark To be like And how will Pepsi Leave its mark? The choice is yours Obviously because the Vitruvian Renaissance Is on the same scale

Of as a fucking Pepsi logo Redesign in 2009 You joke around If you could If you could teleport a can of Pepsi Back to fucking What was that? He would lose his mind

You could literally murder a man With a can of Pepsi And not just the can Yeah That would be wild I love a movie like that where a guy's the challenge is you have one little can of Pepsi but you got

you got to use that to blow enough minds to become like a god like you'd have to be like you only got like fucking you got like 10 sips on this thing is that just the gods might be crazy that racist yeah but that one was the bottle came down right no one really came to be like and I am your lord

god Coca-Cola bottle I'm talking about some dude pulling up with it and being like hey bro you need to taste this shit yeah behold yeah yeah more it's tickling my mouth, sir. Exactly, exactly. Now, take me to your king. Yeah, Marty McFleck could have done a lot more damage, you know?

He's a fucking loser, bro. He fucking fumbled that shit so bad. I mean, we're living in the BIF timeline. We're living in the Bifth timeline right now, you guys. Bro. Do people say that? Yeah. It's not incorrect.

Back to the future, too. It's that he's styled after Trump in, in the future, too. Right? Yeah, and he's like a casino magnate. Yeah. And a cheater, I was just, I was just, I was just, I was just in character as Blue Sky Guy. Oh, thank you.

Or see naked gun first, right?

I don't think it matters that much. Because the similarity will be apparent no matter what. I guess what I would say weapons first than naked gun. Okay. Yeah. Naked gun chaser. Okay. Yeah.
