So there's different kinds of city bikes.

The white gray ones are the electric ones and those go fast as fuck.
Okay.

Planned this for us
No, no one i've smashed
Anti-murder podcast we'll say it on air and we've said it many times
Yeah, we should we should make that one of our things too, Miles.
Anti-murder. I feel like that would be good for deniability.
I mean, what was murder though?
Because you thought I looked like the guy in the picture.
You kind of looked like he did.
You did look like the guy in the picture.
I was at that hotel a month ago, so I could have been planning.
He was staying at the Luxe Club. He wasn't staying at Midtown.
I know he wasn't staying there, but that's where it occurred.
He was staying. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But I was like, hell no.
First, I judged him.
I'm like, you're a CEO and you stand at the Midtown.
The Midtown Hilton?
No, no, I love that.
Like you waited for us to establish I was handsome five times to be like,
I think I've been told that I look like the guy who murders.
Funny you guys are talking about this guy because I've been told that I
bear a resemblance to him.
In the 24 hours, in the 10 hours that his picture has been released, people,
that's just a white man with a strong jaw, babe.
The eyebrows.
I think it's the eyebrows.
It's the brows.
Yeah. Okay. I could see it. I could see he's got to.
No, no, tell him, please.
The show going to be mad.
OK, no, honestly.
Yeah, it was you.
It was you.
It was you.
It was you, Jack.
I'm going to actually switch on you right now.
No, I was going to say, honestly, though.
OK, this is my I'm like, what if it's Jack Schlossberg?
A little-
It does have Jack Schlossberg vibes, yeah.
I'm like, listen.
Wow, a Kennedy who starts assassinating,
like he's doing the assassinating?
Yeah, they take back assassinating for the Kennedys.
I mean, not that JFK wasn't heavy into that shit himself.
Into assassinating. But he didn't do it because of stuff.
He tried to assassinate Castro like 36 times.
It's because he was hotter than him.
It's all the opposite.
It's all the opposite.
It's right.
It was a Snow White situation.
Who is the finest in all the land?
I got to kill this motherfucker.
Yes.
We want to speak out and we want this to stop. Wow, very powerful.

To expose an alleged predator and the rotten industry

It's honestly so much worse than I had anticipated.
We're an army in comparison to him.

You can be any gul off Wall Street.
Just put profits before people.
You know what I mean?
Deregulators!

Reference to a song that I think is too old for our guests to know it, maybe?
Regulators?
Regulators?
No, can't be.
The children that are wrong.
It is the children that are wrong.
I am not wrong.
I'm thrilled to be joined, as always my co-host Mr. Miles Gray!
It's Miles Gray aka Shit. Be goofy goofy every damn day shit. Be goofy goofy every damn day.
It really really really is exhausting. It really really really wears me out. The news is really
really is disgusting. I really really go to Taco Bell and pig out. Okay, shout out to Halsey and Salad for that one. I was talking
about the Uchi Wali remix and you came very quickly with that
as I was referencing horse the member of Brave Hearts that
people forgot. Yes, here we are.
Here we are miles we're thrilled to be joined for the
first time but it doesn't feel like it feels like old friends
right off the bat.
Definitely.
They joined the recording mid-sentence and we were off to the races.
Two very funny comedians and writers who host the podcast, Go Touch Grass.
It's Millie Tumarez and Elise Morelle.
Here we are.
Wow.
Welcome, welcome. I'm like, the list of holidays today, bartenders, faux-faux, a lot of it, I'm like, wow, I fuck
with a lot of the list.
And part of me and Alyssa's lore is that we met in an immersive comedy show that was an
all Latino cast about the Chilean mine collapse.
We each played miners and people.
This was a basement theater in New York, the old annoyance theater.
And so everyone who came to the show would get a hard hat that had a little light on it.
And then they would come down and we would pretend that it was done in a sensitive way.
I think we should remind everyone before I continue that no
Mancala yeah, and didn't they get like a fighters iPod like weren't they really into Foo Fighters?
There wasn't it like a band. I felt like yeah
No, they got a lot of shit and then they made this movie with Antonio Banderas
Yeah, and the play that the play that we did was kind of a parody of that movie
Yeah, but yeah, everyone would come down into the fake mine and then
Yeah, it was like an immersive play so they could like we were the miners and they could come like find us and have
interactions with us and then at the end
Bowen Yang actually
Who was directed it would open up like one of those hatches to the outside,
like a New York classic metal hatch, and everyone would go out of that and they would be freed.
Yeah. So that was our...
So dense, so layered, so textured.
Hell yeah. Yeah. What do you think we're going to be these two dumb drunk chicks being like,
we just both like whatever. No, bitch.
That is what we usually look for.
Yeah.
They're like, wait, they're not drunk?
Two dumb drunk chicks is our other podcast.
That's a whole different.
I got to say, I love that show.
For sure. Yeah. I was frantically messaging Justin.
They don't seem drunk, Justin.
Are you sure? Are you sure they're drunk?
I was promised two dumb drunk chicks.
It's great to have you both.
Yeah. We're so happy.
We're so excited. I love this show so much.
This is awesome.
We've been trying to get on,
but y'all keep pushing us off. It's okay.
It's fine. It's not right, but it's okay. Well, we just get on, but y'all keep pushing us off. It's OK. It's fine.
It's not right, but it's OK.
Well, we just had to make sure y'all were drunk.
You finally wore us down.
Yeah.
We've been like, when are they going to be drunk?
Yeah.
We wore you down.
Yeah.
What if you're a drunker?
And you guys are joining us from the midst
of a city-wide manhunt.
We are
But you're reporting here you're getting helicopters, you're getting the whole police sirens, which I'm told never happened in New York City.
That must be startling for you.
All right. We're going to get to know you
both a little bit better in a moment.
First, we're going to tell the listeners a couple of things.
We're talking about today,
we're going to talk about that continued news story,
how the mainstream media is covering it,
AKA, why don't these guys have better security?
They should be, that's unsafe for these rich people.
Yeah.
It's like, it's like they're filtering their editorial room through billionaires.
They're like, dude, can we just get a quick sign off on this Rupert Murdoch?
Yeah.
Add a line about, we should all be having, we should all need personal security details.
I think that's important. And we should.
So we'll talk about that.
And also just like the continued response on social media, Reddit had to
delete a thread in our medicine, just our medicine, the doctors were getting their
shots off before we get to any of that though, we do like to ask our medicine, the doctors were getting their shots off. Before we get to any of that though,
we do like to ask our guests,
what is something from your search history
that's revealing about who you are?
Which of us should go first?
Elise, you want to start?
Yeah, go ahead.
I'll start.
My most recent search history was just Clacking Heels sound effect,
which I needed for a comedy show. But my most revel recent search history was just Clacking Heels sound effect, which I needed for a comedy show.
But my most revelatory search history is, easiest country to move to from America unskilled.
Don't need skill.
You're looking it up and they're like, okay, step one, become a civil engineer.
I'm like, no.
Wants a comedian and podcaster who also writes copy for a cruise line.
Oh, interesting.
Norway?
I feel like.
No.
Norwegian cruise ships?
No, a way better one.
I'll tell you off air.
Okay.
Yeah.
Nice sharing.
Right, right, right.
There's a lot of people I know who are doing this very same search.
Yeah.
So, yeah.
It's important to gather the information.
Know where the answers are.
And what I have found is the answer is no.
They don't want me to come to their country.
No, thank you.
They immediately, she just loves looking at grad programs in Toronto.
That's one of the ways is I'm like, do I have to go back to school?
I guess I'll go back to school.
Yeah, you can go to a grad program at McGill and then like being a
polycule in like a year.
Everyone in Montreal is in this crazy polycule.
It's all just one big polycule.
And terrible teeth because they just removed the fluoride from their water.
Did they?
I didn't even know that they did that.
That's crazy.
That's for sure.
And the guy who proposed it was like, I have the support of RFK Jr.
So you know I'm not looking around.
Oh, Jesus Christ.
Well, I was about to say, I was like, well, that'll be us soon enough, so.
Yeah, no.
Fingers crossed.
Although that's a good thing that isn't set
at the federal level, that's like,
there's so many things where it's like,
yeah, you run that at the federal level,
some of these things are done at the state level,
so I think there's gonna be a lot of learning
being done by RFK, and just generally.
A lot of learning being done after the fluoride's removed
from my water, because that's what's
making me mind controlled and dumb is the fluoride.
One of the things that I weirdly take comfort in is that the industries that RFK wants to
take on are agriculture and pharma.
I'm like, they're going to squish your head.
They're going to come to your house and just squish your little head.
Right.
Yeah. You want to talk about getting clapped in the midtown?
Oh my God. Who did this?
Probably some poor person.
Anyways, manhunt time.
Yeah.
Millie, how about you?
What's the premiere search history?
I really took this literally and I looked up things that I looked up today.
I woke up and I was like, I want waffles.
So I looked up classic waffles recipe.
It had too many ingredients.
So I just went to a bodega and got a waffle mix complete bitch.
Um, but, uh, honestly though, like what they charge for like a small, like
it was like five 99 for like the smallest box.
So, uh, you know, I guess I should have just whatever I looked up
KBBQ near Bryant Park because we're gonna go to see who weekly live and we wanted a pre-dinner place and then finally I looked up
PMDD and read it like which is like pre like
Pre-menstrual like depression like deep depression or some shit like that.
I forgot what the other one.
Basically once a month for a week,
I feel so hopeless and I wanna die and I feel terrible
and I don't know and nothing makes sense.
And I just like, it doesn't click.
I'm like, why am I so depressed?
And then I get my period a week later and I'm like, oh.
Oh, that's why I felt terrible. And then I'm like, oh, oh, that's why I felt terrible.
And then I'm like, oh, I got to remember it's PMDD like all that blah, blah, blah.
And then three weeks later, I'm like, God, I feel terrible.
And it's happened like 20 times and I really got to get my shit on lock.
The thing they're going to learn about women's health once like the healthcare
industry stops being just incredibly
sexist, still shockingly 1950s sexist is gonna be amazing.
We'll be like, oh yeah, there's a whole wing of medicine we just hadn't even invented yet
because we were just like, you're being weird, babe.
Yeah.
I'm also just like, look, if we're going to go back in ban abortion, then when I'm being
hysterical, I want to go to a doctor and get fingered.
Because that's what they used to do.
When women would have a hard time, they'd go to the doctor.
The doctor's like, oh, I have a cure for hysteria.
And then make her come.
And then it's like, oh, I feel better.
So let's go back to that then.
Okay?
Let's go back to that.
I want to be prescribed sea air. I want someone to say your
prescription. You gotta go on vacation girl. We're sending you
to the beach. We're going back and let's go all the way back.
Let's go all the way back. They just want the bad back.
I'm gonna go to a sanitarium and sit in an ice bath for five
days straight.
Okay, maybe not that.
No, but I mean, I'm saying I'm doing the cold plunge in the Korean spa.
You know, I love the Korean spa.
I will find a Korean spa and I will sit in my butt naked ass in the ice, in the cold plunge.
Nellie's biohacking.
Call me Brian Johnson, cause I am taking blood from my 19 year old spawn.
Oh, that looks like it's going wrong right now.
Oh no, he looks like shit.
Yeah, yeah, definitely.
And the beginning I was like, yeah, I mean, it looks freaky, but like the skin looks tight.
And now you're like, even when his skin looked tight, he looks it didn't look great.
But yeah, it's still, I would be like,
I believe that this guy's probably taking someone else's blood.
But he's taking his stuff.
He had a post recently that we covered on our podcast
where he said he had replaced,
he'd had all his plasma removed.
Yeah, we totally talked about that too.
Okay, replaced it with like albumin or something.
I'm like, is that safe? Can you replace all your- We got some, I'm actually a replazer. People are like, actually this is like albumin or something. I'm like, is that safe? We got some, actually replies or people like, actually, this is what albumin is.
And it's basically this is why he did it.
And I stopped reading.
So, yeah, I'm sorry.
It's like the primary ingredient in blood plasma.
So he like replaced his blood plasma with new blood plasma.
Yeah, with uncut plasma.
Yeah.
Oh, so it's like sniffing base.
That good, good.
Yeah, he's sniffing base now.
Yeah, you know what?
I'm like, somebody's got to get his ass.
He's just getting gobbled by the fucking, his fucking, oh yeah, you need this and you
need that.
Well, I can think of someone.
Yeah.
Is this the highest Q rating that an assassin has ever had?
Like I'm not, we're in no way approve it, but like the popularity out there, the respect
that-
He's the hottest assassin since Gavrilo Princip.
Yeah.
Okay.
But like did people even at the time like fuck with Gavrilo Princip?
Which one's Gavrilo Princip?
He said-
He killed Archduke Franz Ferdinand. Yes, he Arch Which one? I don't know. Prince. He said, Oh, war one. He killed Archduke. Yeah.
He Archduke.
Frans Ferdinand.
Yeah.
Okay.
Cause no, cause I'm like the fucking Boston bomber kid got like a rolling stone
cover and people were trying to like, for him, a very unpopular kids and runners.
Like, yeah, right.
Whatever.
You know, no one's really clapping billionaires.
Like, you know what I mean? So yeah
Like yeah, I don't know an assassin where someone like yo bro when you come to my bar is free drinks all day
It's wild man, all right, Millie do you want to talk about something you think is overrated? Yes
I did it out of order.
Oh, underrated first?
Yeah, we usually do it underrated.
Oh, underrated.
I'm going to say, I don't know, man, I'm just like really enjoying smooth brain,
CVS programming.
I'm watching Tracker.
I'm watching Matlock, the reboot with Kathy Bates. I'm watching El's Beth
I'm just watching a good, you know what a good procedural
Everyone there's giving a good that we're giving a lot of space to prestige dramas
But a good procedural where it gets solved in the thing and I'm pretty I'm in season 2 rewatch of good wife
You know, so I mean notwatch, I've never watched it.
And I did say guys, I was battling deep depression.
That was gonna happen.
I'm like, period.
Look, we're all coping in our own way, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, we're coping in our way,
but I'm just saying, there's a lot of shit online about,
oh, industry, oh, like White Lotus, oh, succession,
like prestige drama, and I'm here for the procedurals. Right.
They're dumb little procedurals.
I did not know about the Matlock reboot. Yeah.
Oh, with Kathy. Yeah, with Kathy Bates.
Mm hmm. Okay.
She sounds like foghorn leghorn in it, but whatever.
Oh, she's really like, I say, I say, like,
Oh, yes, absolutely.
Okay, I might tune in for that
She's doing Carville
Yum
She did that in an American Horror Story 2 didn't she maybe she just likes doing that accent water boy maybe it's
that's exactly her accent in my former characters should i channel for matlock
but then what i like about shows that are being made now is that like they'll make all the
supporting characters like a lesbian asian woman like, like a Latino young guy.
So it's like fog, or like diversity, right.
Right.
I'm like, okay, cool.
Whatever the full spectrum.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I've definitely been into like sports in a way that I haven't been in a while since the election.
I'm just like, I don't fucking know, man.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, let's watch college basketball again, I guess.
From 1998?
Exactly.
Wow.
Can't even see where the ball is.
The resolution is so shitty.
Yeah, right.
Elise, what is something you think is underrated?
Okay, so this is something that I think the people
who know about it, like it is rated high,
but the people who, like it needs,
more people need to know about this,
and I will also say before we begin
that Millie put me onto this.
So.
Okay, wow, all right, respect.
You know, credit where credit is due Okay, wow. All right, respect.
You know, credit where credit is due.
Works cited.
Works cited, exactly.
This year for Thanksgiving,
I made the precooked Popeyes turkey.
Oh shit!
Are you guys aware of this turkey?
No.
I've been wanting to get that shit
for the last fucking four years, no joke.
It fucking rocks.
So it's a precooked turkey,
but it comes completely frozen.
It's covered in Popeye's seasoning.
What?
You have to thaw it for like three days,
but then you only put it in the oven for like two hours.
And it's a perfect, incredible turkey.
Yeah, yeah.
And many people are not realizing
that this option is available to them.
And they're slaving away over their turkey.
And you can actually have the greatest possible turkey
provided by Popeye's with significantly less work and effort. and they're slaving away over their turkey and you can actually have the greatest possible turkey
provided by Popeyes with significantly less work and effort.
And I did that this year and it was awesome.
Yeah.
And then, sorry, somebody said it was, okay,
see this is how it got me.
Bae, it got me, right?
I looked online and it said it was sold out,
but then at least tell what happened.
Okay, so here's the thing is the online version first of all the online version
I think costs like a hundred bucks for it to get like delivered to you
They'll that sells out super quickly
But what you have to do is you have to call your local Popeyes every Popeyes store also has a supply
of them in store and
So you have to call your local Popeyes and then you go and pick it up.
And it's only like 60 bucks and they all have them.
So don't be fooled if it says sold out online.
You must call your local Popeyes and the Popeyes employee will answer the phone
and be like, why the fuck are you calling Popeyes?
And you'll be the first time our phone has written since 1994.
Their receivers stuck to the thing.
They're like, bro, I can't even lift this off the fucking.
Oh, hello.
That's like a barrier of entry for Jen Z, because they're like, right.
People are going to pick up the phone.
They're not going to call. But I am a millennial.
Yeah, I do still hear the phone, but I will call and I will get the phone.
One one. Yeah.
And then also, at least you made the gravy and you said the gravy was fire.
And then you make the gravy from the turkey and it's amazing.
Like the gravy is really good, too, because it's got all the Popeye's seasoning.
It's just like you can't go wrong with it.
There's no reason to be spending seven hours on a turkey.
I guarantee. I'm so sorry.
Your mom's turkey recipe is not better than the Popeye's turkey.
Everyone should be getting the Popeye's turkey, but don't, because I'm going to get it.
And I don't want my local Popeyes to sell out of them.
All right, cut that whole part.
Yeah, so forget everything I said.
This is just for us.
Bleep that entire thing.
45 seconds.
Bleep a whole minute and a half.
Yeah, right.
That sounds amazing.
Wait, the gravy you're making from cooking it?
Like, as it's baking, the drippings are coming off?
Yeah. Okay.
And then you make the turkey gravy with that.
With the roux and butter and shit.
Yeah, I still have the turkey.
No, not the turkey, I still have the gravy.
Roast some of it, been using it,
been eating it really good.
I just turned my turkey into soup on Monday.
Wow.
Yeah, yeah.
Nice. You can't throw that carcass away. Wow. Yeah. Nice.
You can't throw that carcass away.
There's flavor in that. You just got to cook the shit out of it.
Yeah.
And the pickup process wasn't a problem because I've, I've had a honey baked ham
pickups ahead of Thanksgiving that were like an hour and a half long process of
just waiting in line.
No, it was, it was the easiest process in the world.
I was like, Hey, do you guys have the turkey?
And I mean everyone working behind the counter was like you want the turkey? I was like, yeah, I want the turkey
I'm the one who I'm the only person who's ever called. It's me. I'm here for the turkey that I called about
Can I out what what Popeyes it, can I out what Popeyes it is?
You may out what Popeyes it is.
It's a very chaotic Popeyes that I went to.
OK, because I don't know if you...
It's no, it's the it's the iconic, like there's an iconic Brooklyn
Myrtle and Broadway stop that's like super like there's the Popeyes,
Dunkin Donuts and the Checkers next to each other.
And it's also where they yeah
Exactly. Everyone knows it Bay knows it and
Will go viral because people are like this is the most chaotic area in New York City. Like people think it's Times Square
It's actually this subway stop and that is where I retrieved my Popeyes turkey
There's like a clinic there there used to be like a lot of people did K2 around there. There's like a lot of going on.
Yeah, it's active.
So it's popping.
So maybe the the process of getting the turkey was fine,
but you still did have to encounter chaos.
Yeah, it was actually the chaos was outside.
But also while I was getting the turkey, someone approached me and they were like,
did you get the turkey? And I was like, approached me and they were like, did you get the turkey?
And I was like, yeah.
And they were like, that's awesome.
Like I was like getting praised.
I was like, yeah.
I mean, you could probably just get one if you want.
Right.
Did you get the turkey or the biggest fried chicken I've ever seen?
I will say it was extremely heavy and I just was like carrying at home and I was like this was maybe not

We want to speak out, we want to raise awareness,
and we want this to stop.
Wow, very powerful.
I'm Ellie Flynn, and I'm an investigative journalist.
When a group of models from the UK wanted my help,
I went on a journey deep into the heart
of the adult entertainment industry.
I really wanted to be a playboy, my dog.
Lingerie, topless.
I said, yes, please.
Because at the center of this murky world
is an alleged predator.
You know who he is because of his pattern of behavior.
He's just spinning the web for you to get trapped in it.
He's everywhere and has been everywhere.
It's so much worse and so much more widespread
than I had anticipated.
Together, we're going to expose him
and the rotten industry he works in.
It's not just me.
We're an army in comparison to him.

Hi, I'm Marie.
And I'm Sydney.
And we're M.E.S.S.
Well, not a mess, but on our podcast called M.E.S.S.,
we celebrate all things messy.
But the gag is, not everything is a mess.
Sometimes it's just living.
Yeah, things like J.Lo on her third divorce.
Living.
Girl's trip to Miami.
Mess.
Ozempic.
Messy, skinny, living.
Restaurant stealing a birthday cake.
Mess.
Wait, what flavor was the cake, though?
Okay, that's a good question.
Hooking up with someone in accounting
and then getting a promotion.
Living. Breaking up with your girlfriend accounting and then getting a promotion. Living.
Breaking up with your girlfriend while on Instagram Live.
Living.
This kind of mess.
Yeah, well, you get it.
Got it?
Live, love, mess.
Listen to Mess with Sydney Washington and Marie Faustin

or wherever you get your podcasts.
And we're back. And Elise, what is something that you think is overrated?
Okay, I'm gonna say this.
People aren't gonna like it.
Nobody's gonna agree with me, it's fine.
I think that Spotify wrapped is overrated.
I don't care about Spotify wrapped.
I know what songs I listened to.
Right.
And then I look at people's page and they're posting their Spotify wrapped
and it's just, everyone's like, I listened to Espresso and I'm like, I bet you did.
And then everyone's like, I'm a Pink Pony. I'm a Pink Pony Prince Pilates girl or whatever.
And I'm like, cool.
It seems like everyone I know is a Pink Pony Pilates girl.
My Spotify rep did actually broke in this year for some reason.
You know what I'm going to say, Elise.
Well, yeah.
So, okay, last year.
Okay.
Spotify did reveal that I had Meghan Trainor on my SpotifyWrap,
which was tough.
And that's why she don't like SpotifyWrap, because she had Meghan Trainor on her SpotifyWrap.
Sometimes it reveals things about you.
It does feel like it's the equivalent of dreams.
Somebody else's SpotifyWrap is always kind of uninteresting to me, but sometimes I learn
something I don't want to know about myself in the Spotify rap for like, Oh, really?
Damn.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
You want to unpack that Jack or you want to just move on?
Well, what, Megan Trainor, for instance?
Megan Trainor was on mine last year and I've come to terms with that and I've owned that.
But in finding in my Spotify rap being broken this year and me feeling like
No motivation to fix it or figure it out. I realized that like it just doesn't have a ton of meaning for me
Yeah, doesn't but if it does for you, that's fine, but it is it's it's overrated for me
Yeah, the stuff I learned I feel like because I'm so used to seeing the Spotify rap like through the year
I'm like, oh this shit's about to be my number one song.
Like I can art like not even in a way that's celebratory.
Or I'm like, I already know, like I'm playing the shit out of this one album or song that sometimes I don't even look because I'm just like, I already know.
I already know I fucking nerded out on like this one song for three straight days on a loop.
And that's usually how my whole thing gets thrown off.
But yeah, and it was made you look by Megan Trainor is what you're saying.
It was made you look by Megan Trainor followed by made you look by Nas. Yeah.
You just like that title.
Anything called made you look. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Your genre is weirdly songs called made you look.
Like in put in a random word in Spotify and
then see all the songs that like roses is a good one or crazy or something.
And then like seeing all the songs that like have that.
I also say a lot of people at least were hating on Spotify rap this year because
Spotify laid off all their creatives.
So like the fucking Spotify rap this year was like AI and like whack and corny
We're like usually it's like the user your horoscopes or here's
like everyone who like the top listeners in your city or this is what people like your vibe is like
Silverlake and you live in like Chicago or something, but right because they laid everyone off the Spotify
Yeah, if I wrapped was people's mom's dry ass turkey recipe.
Right.
You like Taylor Swift.
You're welcome.
I will say the only person who posted a Spotify rap that intrigued me in any way, shape or
form is, I would say the Prince of New York Chi Chi Osei
Posted his but he blacked out one of them. And so now I am intrigued how I want to know
He said it was RuPaul
He was embarrassed he was embarrassed about like a RuPaul cuz of fracking Chi Osei is like a city councilman in Bed-Stuy who? is like 26 and he's like a democratic socialist and yeah
Broker fee thing removed he rocks. That's great. If that's why the mystery
Look, I'm on the right side, but like the RuPaul thing be like also you were fracking. He's like, yeah
That might be it this is pre-friking RuPaul. You know, I try to separate the artists from the fracking.
Separate the art from the fracking.
Yeah.
Well, 100%.
Can't be done?
Can't be done.
How about you, Mellie?
Is there something that you think is overrated?
Yes.
As a black woman, I'm going to go ahead and say that I think Andrew Schultz is overrated.
I think he's corny.
I don't think he's funny at all.
First of all, and I'm saying this topically because he did this five-minute
crash out because Kendrick Lamar, first of all,
Kendrick Lamar said in a song like,
no white comedians make fun of black women.
Yeah.
He didn't say Andrew Schultz,
but Andrew Schultz,
but Andrew Schultz has since been panicking
for like the past week and then went on like this whole
diatribe and did like two minutes about how he would,
he could rape Kendrick Lamar.
It was really fucking weird.
We'll probably talk about it on the podcast at least.
But I was like, I didn't know it went there.
Well, I'm taller than him. So I could, you know, I could like Well taller than him so I could you know
I could physically have sex with him and even if he wants to or not because and it's just like and then all his little
Lackeys are like laughing and I'm just like this this this guy's corny and it's not he's never been that funny
Guy code is like corny. I don't know. It's just all like It's all dark and it's like you had Donald Trump like also
Automatically a Donald Trump on your pod like you can't be claiming hip-hop or whatever. I don't know
So that's just and then he's like, oh rappers don't respect women either and it's like, okay sure but like
Shut the fuck up. I don't know. So yeah, you're not sure not the arbiter of yes
Exactly. He he definitely immediately made that about himself in a way
where I just saw a clip of that and I go I don't need to see
any more of this shit. Right. And it's weird to see like all
the flagrant pod fans be like, people don't understand his this
is just jokes, bro. This is like what he does because he's
trying to get a rise at everybody and he clearly
succeeding. I'm like, what a way to describe you being so unfunny and just offensive.
They're like, it's so funny that y'all are offended.
OK, right. And so he has won the argument.
And yeah. And if Kendrick claps back, like Andrew's just going to win.
That's just like there's no way Kendrick wins this one.
And you're like, this isn't even about that.
This is about if it was about Drake. So right.
Yeah. Just like brain rotted. this one and you're like this isn't even about that this is about if anything was about drake so right yeah just like
Brain-rotted i'm like like it's not funny
What is funny about this and then you're clap back to someone being like don't talk about black women
Because it's just that like you
Actually, it's threatening to sexually assault someone yeah, that just not, I'm just trying to find where it's funny and it's not, and it's just like half of these,
and I'm just waiting, now that Trump's in president,
I'm just like, let us be the canceled,
like I wanna be the canceled comedian, whatever bullshit,
and get all those like reactionary fucking money that,
these people are so rich
It's like all the like the top 10 podcasts like stress me out
It's all these like rich white people who are just talking bullshit, and I'm just like shut up
Yeah, so anyway Tucker Carlson isn't the
Year that was yeah
Yeah, yeah
Fuck it. Yeah, I was gonna say, yeah Fuck it
Yeah, I was gonna say that like that's the worst part of every andrew schultz clip
Is that he says the most racist crazy shit on his podcast and then there's like no less than five men of color like laughing
Yeah, and co-signing that it's funny too who are those like two black dudes from england who like came back like
That was such an L on the pod. Yeah, we covered it on the pod Signing and then it's funny to who are those like two black dudes from England who like came back like
The shits and gigs pod
Which we know that yeah, like they're fucking they they completely fucked their shit up
Because they're their audience was primarily women
so Yeah, we
Those guys are they're like, we had, what did they say?
Fight or flight?
Fight or flight, yeah.
They're like, Andrew Schultz said that racist thing and we just laughed along because we
had fight or flight.
We didn't know that this was going to happen.
We thought it was just going to be fun talking.
You didn't Google Andrew Schultz once?
Right.
I guess they don't have Google.
They probably use something else in England.
.co.uk..co.uk. That's how they get you. All right. Let's take a quick break. We'll come back and
we'll get into some news. We'll be right back.

And we're back. We're back.
And as mentioned, you might be hearing helicopters diving and swooping in the background, and you might be thinking,
those aren't LAPD helicopters that we normally hear diving and swooping in the background of Miles and Jack's recordings.
Those helicopters sound like they're looking for somebody in New York City.
Yeah, it's totally, it's a different vibe.
Those helicopters sound like they answer to Eric Adams.
That's right.
Is someone drunk driving those helicopters?
Yeah, anything can happen in New York.
That's a really good Eric Adams.
That was good.
Yeah. When he talked about...
A plane might crash into your twin towers.
When he talked about what is great about New York City.
The great thing about New York City, you could have planes crash into your twin towers or
somebody open a business.
That's what's great.
Wait, 9-11 is why?
Why would you say that, Aaron?
Yeah.
Now look at these house backpacks. One of the great things. Wait, 9-11 is why? Why would you say that, Aaron? Yeah. Now look at these child's backpacks.
One of the great things.
Yeah, right.
Is that, did that bring you guys to New York City?
The possibility of another 9-11 happening?
You know, one of the beautiful things about New York is,
yeah, anything could happen.
You could, one day you could start a podcast,
the next day you could see that a healthcare executive has been gunned
down in the streets. Anything can happen.
Anything. Yeah. It's been interesting to see the different reactions because the mainstream
media is like, this is not good. And we're, you know, like talking about it as like, you
know, how, how are companies going to react to this? And, you know, like talking about it as like, uh, you know, how, how our company is going to react to this and, you know, just covering it as a
straightforward, terrible thing that has happened the way that I guess we've
always reacted to murders, but then there's a real upswell of internet
sentiment that's just like very celebratory.
They had to shut down,
throw out the entire our medicine thread about the case
because doctors were cracking too many jokes about this person's murder.
But yeah, what are we hearing from the New York Times on this one?
Well, I mean, there's just different things, right?
Because when this thing happened,
I was like, this is not going to spur some conversation about our health care system.
It's not. They're going to focus everything like on the crime itself.
Which I get that's what they're doing as journalists.
But like to completely miss that dimension of it, I think is a little odd.
If that's the, you know, because they're still like, what could be the motive?
Even though they just found that on some of the shells
are the casings and bullets that were at the scene said deny,
defend, depose. And, you know, some outlets were doing some head scratching and they're
like, this might be tied to a phrase used in the insurance industry.
Some sort of D based Batman villain. I don't know. And then others did blatantly point
out like there is a book called Delay Deny Defend
whose subtitle is why insurance companies don't pay claims
and what you can do about it.
The New York Times, there's this one sentence
that's really interesting,
just glossed over something kind of important.
This is just one sentence said,
quote, chief executive officers of healthcare companies
often receive threats because of the nature
of their work.
Go on, what, what is the nature of that work? And how
could that potentially radicalize someone? So again,
a few articles then pointed out that United has quote,
relatively high instances of denying coverage when it is
in fact like an outlier in terms of denying coverage when it is in fact like an outlier in terms
of denying coverage and making massive profits.
Then there are more articles and paragraphs pointing to like what companies can and should
do to protect their leadership.
Another thing that like we found out in the last day was apparently he was also this guy,
the CEO is being investigated for insider trading because there was a DOJ antitrust
investigation happening that wasn't public yet,
but he just offloaded a ton of shares like to the tune of 15 million dollars before the before the news became public.
So again, they're still kind of doing the thing where they're like, we're not sure what is going on,
but kind of around the margins pointing at things that again may have affected somebody to the point that they were motivated to kill this
guy. And I don't know, it just,
it's a very interesting moment because this is like,
like you're saying at the top Jack,
like the sentiment around this guy who killed Brian Thompson is like,
this guy's fucking bae. You know what I mean? Like we love this dude.
He's hot. This is the, this is the dopest shit we've ever seen.
And I think that definitely feels different.
You know, I mean, we're like, you know,
mostly people were like, yeah, I don't care that this guy got gunned down
because I think because this CEO happened to be just represent like a
physical manifestation of all the wrongs that the insurance industry
enacts on just regular people.
And I think for that reason, like all it's like a lightning rod for all of this ire that
people have for the insurance as a whole is turning into like memes about like this one
guy.
Yeah, I, I feel like okay.
Well number one, I just want to say, as we always say on Go Touch Grass, that Go Touch
Grass is an anti-murder podcast
Always
It's not cool but
You would think about the woman who was harassing gypsy rose
There is a girl that was like, you know making fun of Gypsy Rose a lot and harassing her.
It's like, okay, well, what Gypsy Rose did wasn't cool, but.
Yeah, sure.
Not cool.
Then the Trump assassin, it comes up.
Yeah, yeah.
Again, anti-murder podcast,
but I will say for my personal self,
my hope for my life is that I live my life in such a way
that if someone guns me down in the streets of New York,
the reaction isn't, oh yeah, we know why he did that.
Right.
Yeah. Right.
Oh yeah, no, that's for sure, for sure.
Like.
Well, and I'm also just like, it's interesting because in the post-election kind of post-mortem
conversations that people are having, you know, the reasons why Democrats fared so poorly was
because of there wasn't any good solid anti-pop or like, or populist policy and all that stuff. And people are like, oh, people are, you know, are voting for Trump because they want to say fuck you.
And like they want cheaper eggs and shit like that.
And like that has, you know, and there's been pushback on, you know, by the establishment of like, well, that's not true.
It's like racist and all this stuff.
But like the reaction to, you know, somebody, they're bloodthirsty.
Like people do want to do something and they're doing it.
Like it's kind of escalating in this way where, you know, is voting for Trump the solution?
No, I don't think so.
Is gunning someone down in Midtown the solution?
Probably not, but like people, but there aren't other
solutions being presented. No one is stopping these healthcare companies. No one is making
any, you know, so people are feeling it and everyone's acting like everything's okay.
And yeah, so I could totally see someone being like, yeah, fuck it. Like I don't give a fuck
about, you know, they've denied like, thousands and thousands of claims and thousands of people
have to die for this guy's like, to afford his fourth yacht or something. And for you
know, like, I kind of understand like the sentiment of like, well, I don't give a fuck.
Yeah, I mean, like, what do you think when like in that thread on Reddit that got taken
down because doctors were just sort of being very, you know, clear
on what how they felt about insurance companies. One person
posted quote, I cannot even guess how many person years
UnitedHealthcare has taken from patients and their families
through denials. It has to be on the order of millions. His
death won't make that better. But it's hard for me to
sympathize when so many people have suffered because of his
company. And yeah, like you, I think to your point too, really like, it's not even that,
like, they're not offering solutions.
They're not even acknowledging this is a fucking problem.
Yeah.
Exactly.
I mean, I think that's where we're at.
It's like before it's like, yeah, we should, maybe we can get like
prescription drug costs, like that's the closest they get to say, let's have a
reckoning with our insurance.
Cause that's like very small potatoes in terms
of like the profit margins for the companies that they're ultimately beholden to. It's like,
what if like, okay, we weren't selling like insulin at like six X markups and instead like
around two or three X kind of thing, rather than zooming out and saying we actually don't take
care of people and the culture in the United States is you have to be able to afford to stay alive.
And if you cannot, then, you know, just, you know, the American natural selection
will do its thing. Yeah.
I think it's so interesting to Millie's
point about, like, the election contributing to it.
Like, we are just coming off an election where health care wasn't like part of it at all.
No one was really talking.
You know, it's so interesting when we compare it to like the 2020 primaries or even 2016,
where like both of those like health care plans were a big part of the Democrat,
the Democrat, like all the season stuff, like what people were putting forward
in the primary. And this time, I mean, yeah, we didn't have a primary and stuff.
But it's like no one was talking about it. So you can't trust this administration to do anything
about it. The next administration is obviously not going to do anything about it. People feel
worse. People feel helpless and hopeless. And when that happens, they make desperate decisions that also, you know, a company like,
but our entire health insurance system in the US contributes to this devaluing of human life at the end of the day.
Like, they're putting dollar amounts on what it's worth for you to, like, survive cancer or not survive cancer or whatever.
And at the end of the day, it's like, yeah, you kind of have contributed to an environment in which people
see human life in terms of dollar signs and
Like little marginal dividends and shit like that
Yeah, like you create you helped to create that by putting a system in place where you can tell somebody
Oh, actually, you don't really need insulin. Do you? Blue Cross Blue Shield just announced that, oh, they're only going to cover anesthesia.
Yeah, party your anesthesia.
Yeah, like only up to a certain time limit,
and then they're not going to cover your anesthesia anymore.
Like, that contributes to a world where people feel more comfortable shooting somebody
at the end of the day.
There's a lot of hand-wringing aboutinging about like they've completely dehumanized the CEO.
And again, broadening out the conversation is every person who has to interact with private health care
and anyone who has to interact with the health care system in this country already feels dehumanized.
There's already a dehumanization.
There's a statistic dehumanization. Because they are dehumanized. They're like so. They're like a statistic on a spreadsheet. But the empathy can, is only going one way in a lot of the coverage rather than again,
like, because I felt like any, any, anything constructive that would come out of this is
some kind of reckoning with our for-profit healthcare system.
Yeah.
But again, we have more stuff of like, why didn't he have a private security detail?
And like this company is like the one that is protecting CEOs in like this part of the
world and maybe they can learn something from them.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I do think that it like, it's really a good point that you make about the election
because the, the solutions that the democratic party put forward that I think a lot of the
people who are like, how could they have lost point to are really like technocratic complicated solutions that are tied to companies like this, or
would have to go through companies like this.
And they end up like, people are just tired of getting fucked over by
these super complex systems.
And so, yeah, I just think this is like a perfect vortex of like all the things
that are frustrating to people and make people feel like there's, there's no
solution, there's no path forward for things to get better.
I will also say if you were a doctor on the Reddit, our medicine that got your
thing deleted and your single hit me up.
got your thing deleted and your single hit me up. Like slide in the DMs,
let's talk about our path forward.
Especially if you like large areolas,
like let's talk.
I do wonder where the mainstream media goes from here.
There's going to be so many Pearl Clashing articles where they're
looking at people's response to this and being,
if they're not there already,
it's going to be like, how could they be so callous?
They are. There's already criticism.
They're like, look at the tolerant left
celebrating the death of this person.
I'm already seeing takes like that.
Yeah, absolutely.
Well, what I'm already seeing takes like that. Yeah, okay well what I was what I'm more like kind of worried about is like
You know, Eric Adams was investigated for corruption
He did all this fucked up shit now
He's like kind of you know sucking up to Trump and kissing Trump's ass now
I'm worried that like Eric Adams is gonna take this as an opportunity and try to make it
his little 9-11 where he like brings New York together and like ups the cops even more and
shit like that.
Right.
And makes shit hot for everybody so that he could like try to, you know, take the heat
off him going to Turkey seven times and getting his girlfriend a job that like is mad money.
New York is the Istanbul of America. Exactly. Exactly.
We ignore Armenian judeicide too.
Yeah, we love looking away from a genocide.
OK. Yeah, I mean, like that it is interesting.
Because I feel like what potentially could happen to I mean, I don't know,
like making that is 9-11, I think is kind of difficult because so
many regular people were affected by 9-11.
Yeah.
Whereas this one, everybody's like, all right.
But that's just kind of, that's sort of the, like the sort of
response, I think, of American people.
Cause I also see people from like Europe asking online, they're
like, why is everyone celebrating this?
And they're like, oh, you don't understand how difficult it is to exist in
this country where we have no recourse to get to be
treated like people.
So these are these moments that pop up that act as
these like stress release valves where they're like,
well, I guess that happened.
But I do, I think like, I feel like the other way
this could start going is like people start saying
that it's like their human right to profit off of suffering and therefore should be able to be
anonymous, you know what I mean?
Because United healthcare took down their entire leadership page to not, to
like not put, again, maybe in their minds to make people targets or something like
that.
And you can, and like this was happening at an investor's day that I don't know.
Like I can also see some weird version where they're like if they know who we are
We're in danger and like we shouldn't people shouldn't be able to know who we are
Even though we are the people profiting and are the architects of things like a terrible
Cruel health care system or earth death through climate change
Yeah, they just start the billionaire bunkers process early and just all move to
New Zealand colonize New Zealand and then they're like you guys have the rest of the world go fuck yourself luck good luck
Well, I feel like we could talk to you guys for three hours, but yeah
Elise Millie such a pleasure having you both on the show. Where can people?
Find you follow you hear you all that good stuff Millie such a pleasure having you both on the show. Where can people? Find you follow you hear you all that good stuff Millie. Um, you could follow me on Instagram

We talk about internet trends like that
Uh hispanic mom who keeps shoplifting from target and making hauls about it. Uh, yeah
Yeah, she did a lifestyle video and then was found to have stolen all of the items that were featured in the lifestyle video.
So it wasn't like she's like, I'm about to like, look at my boosting haul. It wasn't like that.
She was like a lifestyle, like beige influencer mom who, you know, flexes on everybody.
And then you find out that she's squatting and also stole everything.
Yeah. And we, I mean, Target, we will recommend not stealing from Target because they will.
Anti stealing from Target and murder.
Yeah.
Yeah.
For different reasons.
Yeah.
I just think it's, I mean, we're anti stealing from Target because they are, they will find
you and they will get you and they want to take you down they match this woman to her video and also to her phone background paper wallpaper.
Wow.
Found her and they got her ass so I would just say avoid it for your own personal self.
I wasn't there one I felt like one where someone said, it's not fair, Target kept letting me steal
so the charges would be worse.
Yeah, they do that as well.
They do that. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm like, bro, yeah.
Yeah. That's like,
that's awesome. They'll let you steal
until you get to like, where it's now like,
it's not petty theft anymore.
It's like larceny. Yeah, yeah.
And then they'll swoop in and get you.
So that's just, it's like,
anti-stealing from Target is just advice.
Yeah. That we give.
Anti-murder is a more moral stance.
Yeah, just be aware. They are petty.
Yeah.
Amazing.
Elise, how about you?
Where can people find you?

and have us in your Spotify raps,
I guess you won't because you just learned about us,
but either way, that version of Spotify raps I do like.
Yeah, I was gonna say, yeah, we're fine with that too.
People posting our podcast on Spotify raps.
But the music version just doesn't mean anything to me.
Yeah, Elise, I was like, damn, you hate it.
We just spent all day sharing our fans like Spotify rap.
It's the music version.

Okay.
Tell Ms.
O'Brien to chill.
Cafe Bustelo, mom.

Is that the one in the yellow can?
Is there a work of media, Elise, that you've been enjoying? Yes, there is a work of media that I've been enjoying.
Okay, so so much was made of the Wicked press tour, but Denzel Washington has been doing amazing work on the Gladiator press tour.
And there are many, many funny videos of him.
There's an interview where he did with one woman,
I think her name is Zaynab.
Yeah, and literally every clip of it is golden.
There's one point where she's like,
can you be my therapist?
And he's like, I already am.
So I would recommend watching all of Denzel Washington's
Gladiator Press Tour for the advice and the energy. Damn, so I would recommend watching all of Denzel Washington's gladiator press tour
For the advice and the energy always how about you Millie? I mean, there's there's this black girl on tik-tok who recasted wicked with the Muppets and she said
Camilla should be Glinda
and so I think that's fire and then today I was watching Real Housewives of Salt Lake City and
And so I think that's fire. And then today I was watching Real Housewives of Salt Lake City.
And somebody implied that she was cheating.
You know, one woman implied that Angie was cheating on her husband.
And Angie said, well, you you're a slut and you have high body count hair,
high body count titties, high body count dress.
So I just high body count hair stuck and shook shook me to my core and I just think about that
I'm like, that's so good high body count hair and then the woman started crying and she's like
How could she say that and her friends like no, that's so fucked up, but you do need to do some deep conditioning
And I'm like yo, I mean Real Housewives of Salt Lake City like come on and then you know again
There's this one one woman was like, oh she looks very bridging tunnel
And that's what people say in New York City when someone looks like you're from New Jersey or Long Island
But all these women are in Utah
You're not even bridging and tunnel, you're air.
So anyway, love white women fighting.
White women getting kicked off planes,
white women getting kicked out on marshals,
white women fighting.
Love it.
I'll consume it.
Give it to me.
Amazing.

if we were like extremely thin and white

we'd be millionaires.
I'll tell you that.
We know the playbook.
People would be gunning us down.
Miles and I know the playbook to get in that Spotify top 10 rap.
Just...
I'm worried about Hoctua.
People are so mad about that rug pull she just pulled on everybody.

And now they're like, what the fuck, Hoctua? You're a dumbass. You're a crypto scam. Everybody just got fucking cooked. And now they're like, what the fuck?
You're a dumbass. You're a dumbass.
If you're buying hock to a crypto, it's actually not a scam, if that turns out to be worth anything.
You should have... You actually do have the information when you see the words hock to a crypto
to know that that's not going to be a viable path for you.
Amherst is another one of our sponsors, you guys.
