and I love playing music with people so much that my podcast called Playing Along is back. I sit down with musicians from all musical styles to play songs together in an intimate setting. Every episode's a little different, but it all involves music and conversation with some of my favorite musicians. Over the past two seasons,

I've had special guests like Dave Grohl, Leve, Mavis Staples, Remy Wolf, Jeff Tweedy, really too many to name. And this season, I've sat down with Black Pumas, Alessia, Kara, Sarah McLaughlin, and more. Check out my new episode with John Legend. I feel like, in a lot of ways, our careers are paralleled in some ways, but they just never intersected for some reason. I know.

My kids were like, because my kids ask like every day how long till Christmas. And today I was like, oh shit. Oh, man, we had a fucking meltdown. Meltdown at my house because we started putting

like some presents for other people under the tree just to kind of spice up the visuals. This full, I had to stop him. He immediately was like, oh, this shit for me. And I was like, no, it's for Christmas. The world does not stop and start at your convenience, miserable. He had the hardest time. Like, I understand.

I'm like, okay, so in like a week, we're going to open this up. And he just started breaking down. I was like, yeah, bro, I can't expect you're not even three. What are you talking about? It's here right now. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. My name, oh, wait, what is December 17? Oh, December 17th.

Say it now. I know, it is, like, especially right before the holidays. It's also, look, National Maple Syrup Day.

All right, we can get behind that. And it's Wright Brothers Day. Hey, the Wright brothers, claimed by more states than anything. Yeah, right. Exactly. Yeah. I grew up in Dayton, Ohio, where they're like, we're the home of the Wright Brothers. brothers and then come to find out like later in life that that is not not necessarily true

that they're from the Carolinas and I think did a lot of their yeah kitty hawk kitty hawk north carolina is where the yeah yeah dayton's like first in flight is it because they were like born there or something and then they fucked off quickly i don't know i mean ohio does have a crazy history like a lot of the first astronauts are from there i don't know exactly what it is it's enough that the University of Dayton's team name is the Flyers because they were born there. And there's the Wright Pat Air Force Base right there and a lot of famous aeronauticians. I don't know. My name is Jack O'Brien, aka Potato's O'Brien, aka First in Flight O'Brien. Now I'm thrilled to be joined as always by my co-host, Mr. Miles Gray.

Hey, it's Miles Gray, the Lord of Lancashem, the show go with no gun, Hideo, no-ho. Yes, I'm here counting down the days until these Christmas candles become not appropriate for the season. But I have, I'm not joking, I have six candles going in my house right now. Do you really? Yeah, I'm fucked up. Like not even the electric ones? No. I'm off my shit, bro.

Like analog candles? Look, when you lose your house in a fire, bro, you feel like at that point, it can't, it can't happen again, possibly. Your Christmas tree has candles instead of Christmas lights? Yeah, baby. I don't give a fuck. And I got this tree. It's 10 feet tall, but I got it out of discount because it's hell of old and brittle and dry. But smells good.

Who's going to touch me, you know? Yeah, who's going to check me, boo? That's right. Miles, we're thrilled to be joined in our third seat by hilarious writer, comedian, podcaster, whose bylines appeared in GQ, the ringer. He's the senior film and culture writer at Uprocks, the host of film drunk, the frotcast, pod yourself a gun, pod yourself the wire. Now, mad yourself a man.

Welcome back to the show. It's Vince Mancini. Vince! I'm sucking dick. Congratulations. Yeah, no, I have to correct the record on the Uprox part there. That was not on it. Not an Uprox.

Way outdated. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Was, he was the singer-film and culture writer at Uprox. Yeah. We'll fix that in post. I should have put that in there. I'm sorry. Oh, it's fine.

Oh, yeah. That's totally on me. Vince, how are you doing? I'm great. I am also experiencing the joy of children not understanding how time works. Yeah, my son asked for like some new shoes, some Spider-Man shoes for Christmas.

Oh, we got Spider-Man shoes too. Yeah, and then the next day he was like, are my shoes here yet? And I'm like, buddy, it's not how Christmas works. Oh, like, as a Christmas, oh, so he was even like, okay, so for Christmas, I want some Spider-Man shoes. And you're like, okay, you might get them. And he's like, so where they at?

Yeah, exactly. Where are they now? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I just asked for them. My wife also, sorry, my wife also did the elf on the shelf thing, which I'm sort of opposed to, but like, I guess we're all doing that now. And this morning, she put a thing in there where it was like, I'm not going to bring you treats every day, but it's important to, like, have joy in your heart and blah, blah, blah. And she asked my son what buddy the elf said. And he's like, where's my treat? But where's the treat, though?

What is this shit? Yeah, yeah. He said some bullshit that wasn't about where my treat is. Yep, single-minded. Vince, you're also, so you are a film reviewer, right? You're plugged in to the world of film. We're coming to the year and what have been some movies that you've enjoyed this year? I mean, I don't think anything's going to beat one battle after.

the another one battle after another after the another. One battle after the another. Yeah, that was a lot of fun. Yeah, that one's really good. I feel like a lot of the really good movies came out before award season this year, which is nice. Yeah. Although I did, Marty Supreme still come in and I was a big fan of that one too. Yeah.

I'm excited. I haven't seen me again. Timothy, no? Timothy Shalame. You got it. Charame. shot at my table tennis film yeah that's right um i i feel like you can't use both types of french pronunciation in the same name like it's timothy with the e and then the thing over the e and then chalomey with et like i feel like you got to you got to make them both the same right like timothy

salome you know yeah yeah just perfect my glazers got material for the next golden globes Timmy Sharame. Well, great. We're thrilled to have you here. We're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First, we're going to tell you about some of the stuff that's going on. We want to check in with the FBI. We got another high-pro Pat Fu, high-profile Patel fuck up happening in the mass shooter investigation in Brown.

We're going to look at a brief history of Donald Trump not being able to know how humans respond when people die. So we'll talk about that because he did have a chance to take back what he said about Rob Reiner and his being like, hell yes, I'm glad he's dead and I hope he burns in hell to quote a time to kill, essentially. And he did not take it back. In fact, he seemed confused why anyone was still asking about it. So we'll talk about that, his history of not knowing how to act. We'll talk about his new weapons. of mass destruction play on fentanyl you might talk about the erika kirk interview so so much interesting information gleaned there uh McDonald's released a fries size that is the size of like a small dog so that's not the fries themselves but the it looks like a boat like a Barbie could rock like a Barbie boat yeah yeah yeah would you rather have one dog size fry or like a hundred little something smaller than a dog i don't know i was trying to do the duck worms worms yeah yeah yeah and uh the new spielbert trailer just dropped and i am pretty excited

i think it looks interesting there are a couple shots that i feel like ai has ruined certain things and like there are a couple shots where it's just like there's like animals in people's yards type thing that is just like ah is this fucking this looks kind of like ai Oh, shit. But other than that, I'm excited because it is about disclose, the big disclosure. All of that, plenty more of a first, and not the Michael Crichton novel disclosure, but like alien disclosure when they disclosed. I know everybody's mind immediately went to disclosure of Michael Crichton.

Yeah, what if sexual harassment, but it's a woman? What if that, dude? Dude, Demi Moore is tripping, huh? And then he was like, I don't know, I got to throw something in here. let's go with these virtual reality goggles and they just use them to like store documents on a computer shit is wild all right all of that plenty more but first Vince we do like to ask our guest what is something from your search

history that's revealing about who you are so I was searching rabbits become zombies movie because as already noted I have a four-year-old and they like to do this thing where they just name some crazy shit that they saw and then you have to figure out what in the world they're talking about before they get mad and apparently he saw a movie where like rabbits become zombies and I was trying to figure out what it was what what is that how old is he is that is that like for kids he's four I guess it was called zumbies I think we we did figure that one out oh okay I was like did he see that one scene and like the holy grail the money money python or that rabbas

the rabbit is fucking everybody up oh that's right yeah I think he was like a madman killer more than that one. But yeah, yeah. I also searched what year, what year Toyota Celica in Cot Stealing? I don't know if you've seen Cot stealing. I did. Yeah. Yeah. Pretty great. There's like a 90s Selica and that. And then I discovered a post this morning about Jello Biafra, the Dead Kennedy's lead singer. Yeah. He is selling his 89 Toyota Selica. Oh. For like $212,000. No, it has $21,000 miles. And I think he was selling it for like $11,000. And I was Like, that would be, it's almost the same car that the punk drives and caught stealing, which is why I was trying to figure that one out.

Yeah, it looks like a like a 93, 94. I'd have to see the, I haven't seen the headlights. Did they come up like this or were they built in? I don't remember. My Google search revealed that it was a fifth generation Selica. So I don't know what exact year that means. Because I think I used to, I used to really be into celicas. Like the old ones went like this.

And then in like the 93 or 4, they just had regular headlights on the front. And did you, you prefer the pop-up? No, I just, I like, I like the newer one because the pop-up ones felt like 80s to me. And I think at the time, I was like, oh, this is some modern shit. But again, this was just because, like, I was looking at model cars a lot. Do we know where that name comes from? Like, Seleka, do they just make that word up, or does that come from somewhere? It's a Japanese car.

And as a Japanese person, people love to just say names, like make up English-sounding names. Like a Todd Bonzales type situation. Yeah, or like a Mitsubishi Montero. you know a lot of the stuff is like because then there's also like names of like the Previa van the Toyota Previa like these are all just kind of like these names

that kind of have like Western vibes yeah that kind of sounds like it could be like a prescription drug like Scylla about Previa Selica and Previa both like feel like and in fact when you write Selica into notes it keeps being like 19

are you trying to write 1990 celiac right right right Uh, my favorite vintage of Ciliac. The gluten was really bad that year. Yeah, yeah. Because I feel like the, the Toyota, like, Midai is like the one of the few ones where it's, like, a Japanese word. So, yeah, everything else is just a... And that's the one that I don't even...

My brain refused us to acknowledge that that's a Toyota model. Toyota Marai. Yeah, yeah, it means future. Oh. Enjoyed caught stealing, particularly Leib Schreiber and... What's his name? Dinoffrio. Dinoffrio, Vincent Dinoffrio.

My brain will not. I did not know it was them the whole time. I was like, who are these? Where did they find these two Hasidic guys? Yeah, they're fucking awesome. You think it's going to be over the top. And then you're like, no, it was just the right amount of over. Kind of good.

They kind of did a good job. What is something you think is underrated? Cillium husks, I think, are very underrated, especially like a little bit of cilium husks right before you go to bed. you know i'm at the age where just like having having a nice poop you really can't put a price on it fiber yeah you gotta get that fiber and everybody talks about protein this protein that no you need some fibers what you aren't we like the most unfibered country on earth or something like we we're at such a fiber deficit in our like if you ate like an average american person like uh no one's

getting fiber yeah and not the kind you don't want the kind well i mean whatever you probably need that kind too but not the kind that like dissolves clear in the water, that's not going to be as good. You want the kind that's, like, really gritty and just, like, cleans you out. Anything that's, like, fiber added, but then it's, like, fucking, like, a yogurt. And it's, like, perfectly smooth.

I'm always like, well, how's that possible? Fiber is the roughage. Fibers are the shit of your body, that's like, yeah, yeah, exactly. What's just like corn tortilla? It's like, that it is fiber. We added the fiber. We added it.

Yeah, yeah. Nah, it's hard for me to get enough fiber because I'm, I'm just eating all these protein-enriched smoothies that have, you know, you got to break all that shit down so that it's all just a paste. They're a smooth powder that does nothing for you. Yeah, that's right. So I love my beans. What, uh, does Wonderbread have a lot of fiber in it?

Yeah, if it's added. Yeah, it depends how much they put in. Yeah, man. I'm fucked. I'm fucked. What's something you think is overrated? I don't know if this is going to step on future bits, but I was going to say Erica Kirk,

not just like overrated in terms of like people like her because it seems like they don't, but like the idea that you're going to get insight from the closest person to someone who died violently. Like did you guys not see the Diddy documentary, the reckoning? Yeah. We tried this once and it worked out like really badly.

I just said this on Monday. I said it's underrated that we're not like that Erica Kirk is the P. Diddy of right now. She's doing the thing of like, okay, so if I go out there and be like, he was my best friend and all this other stuff, it's like, I can raise my stock for whatever the purpose is. But it has a weird knock on effect of coming off very insincere, which I think for whatever reason, a lot of people are like, she doesn't care. I'm sure on some level she does. It's just like the intensity of the PR after the fact to get out there is a little. The assumption that she's going to have something valuable to say.

It's like she's out there on stage talking over the Sting song, and we're all pretending that it's, you know, it's good. But it's, no. Yeah. And similarly, did he did not become a good rapper all of a sudden. No. You were like, ah, maybe this is going to be the one. Yeah.

No. That was my favorite part of that. Maybe it's like the Santa Claus where it just like on death passes to somebody who killed them or. He starts getting away like biggie. He's like, oh, shit. Oh, my God. My eye is starting to drift. But yeah, Erica, that interview, I mean, we could talk about that interview now because it's that there's very little to learn from it.

But she went on CDS. It'll make you dumber watching it, like much dumber. She just really, I mean, she sounds like if you ask like an ordinary, you know, high school, public high school, like, C student to like answer big questions. on a thing like in the aftermath of a tragedy and it's just like I don't know it's like he's his favorite word was earn and that's because he really wanted he really liked people to earn stuff he was like the most brilliant man ever of all that but that came out after barry wice astor you know just kind of like yeah a lot of people are like getting up getting the words mixed up huh like it's pretty unfair, like, what's going on with them?

Right. And, you know, like, and a lot of those words are things like, the Second Amendment is worth a few dead bodies or the Civil Rights Act was a mistake or shit like that. And I think she was like, oh, my God, guys, it's like, you need to, you need like the whole context of that clip, not just the sentence that's of a very clear value that he's espousing out loud on live internet stream. And then, then you get the thing was like, okay, he, it wasn't that.

he didn't like black pilots. He loved that people earned things and excellence, dude, like black excellence. That was the one that she's like, that one thing was somewhat taken out of context and that he was using that idea to argue against affirmative action. And therefore,

you're not allowed to say anything bad about any of the other wildly racist shit. He was allowed to talk about the fact that his last words were basically, what about black crime? Yeah, exactly. This is the other thing, too. What about black crime? And then he got shot.

When asked about the Second Amendment thing about the gun deaths, she said, quote, there's a lot more here, a lot more there than just the one little sentence. But if you say shit, like, I hate black people. I don't know how you dress that up on either side of that statement where you're like, oh, he loves them. Right. No, you said that shit. I was quoting someone else.

It's called tough love. He wants them to earn his. love that's why but i mean again she's not that wasn't that would be so vile if she tried to like sort of really fucking skirt that and give that as an explanation but like to your point these aren't this isn't the person that could be defending it because also it's indefensible yeah she's also doing the thing that she talks sort of the way that like chat gbt does i don't know if you see those like chat gbt commercials it always has like this tone of fake portentousness where or like like fake uh you you can say portent isn't i believe you like it has this like false

intentionality that you get like on linkedin where it's like the commercial will be like uh chat gbt like what's like a good date what's like a good first date activity and then the chat gbt will be like listen up we got this um dash that's kind of like the way competence and agreeableness yeah it's like listen and it's like she she's doing this weird amount of like prefacing where she yeah she's taking these long dramatic pauses and then saying the dumbest shit you've ever heard yeah she's been media trained but like media training can't make you have anything smart to say no yeah well and especially in the again the position you're in it's like a very difficult position like you would need a really talented you know bullshit artist you'd have to be the fucking antichrist and be like

actually he didn't say that stuff and I'm going to make you believe he didn't mean mean any of the bad stuff you said there was another like there was another part of that same interview where they were like asking her if Donald Trump deserves some of like the blame for raising the tenor of you know the political discord like if he deserves if he deserves the same kind of backlash for like violent rhetoric as yes as everybody else they were talking to and she like Her answer was asked, by the way, by the last person who asked him a question at that debate before he was shot. Yeah, yeah. He was like, I'm still going to ask a question.

Yeah, and then her answer was basically like, you know, it starts at home. And you're like, I don't think we can blame one person. It starts at home. It's like, she's just doing, she's reading off like the list of answers you give at a pageant. And that, like, she, that was the one she settled on. You know what? It's really about parenting. Yeah, always has been.

So you're going to blame, you know, people who are underemployed, underpaid because of the terrible economy. But I don't want to put it, I don't want to, like, point the finger at the most powerful and visible person in the world and of the last 50 years. Yeah. Yeah, I think we're good. Anyways, I think she's doing great. Let's take a quick break. We'll come back. We'll talk about the news.

We'll be right back. Have you ever listened to those true crime shows and found yourself with more questions than answers? And what is this? How is that not a story we all know? What's this? Where is that? Why is it wet? Boy, do we have a show for you?

From Smartless Media, Campside Media, and Big Money Players comes Crimeless. Join me, Josh Dean, investigative journalists. And me, Roy Scoville, comedian. as we celebrate the amazing creativity of the world's dumbest criminals. We'll look into some of the silliest ways folks have broken the laws. Honestly, it feels more like

a high-level prank than a crime. Who catfishes a city? And meets some memorable anti-heroes. There are thousands of angry, horny monkeys. Clap, if you think, she's a witch. And it freaks you out. He has X-ray vision. How could I not follow him? Honestly, I got to follow him. He can see right through me.

Gabe Ortiz became one of the highest-ranking law enforcement officers in Texas. 32 years, total law enforcement experience. But his brother Larry, he stayed behind and built an entirely different legacy. He was the head of this gang, and nobody was going to tell him what to do.

You're going to push that line for the cause. Took us under his wing and showed us the game, as they call it. When Larry is murdered, Gabe is forced to confront the past he tried to leave behind and uncover secrets he never saw coming. My dad had a whole other life that we never knew about. Like, my mom started screaming my dad's name, and I just heard one gunshot. The brothers Ortiz is a gripping true story. about faith, family, and how two lives can drift so far apart and collide in the most devastating

way. Listen to the Brothers Ortiz on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, everybody, it's Chuck and Josh from the Stuff You Should Know podcast, and it's that time of year again when we knuckle down to do our annual holiday episodes. We collected our best past classic holiday episodes and compiled them into a 12 days of Christmas toys playlist that the whole thing. family can enjoy. That's right.

Toys playlist on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. We're back. By the way, nobody's watching that interview. Like, I think it's just people like us watching that interview. There's like no views on it. It's such a weird. It aired at like 8 o'clock on Saturday. Somebody reported on the fact that there was literally a Chia Pet ad during the interview. It was literally

like direct response. Yeah, direct response. I mean, she has been doing the same interview over and over on every TV network and then CBS is like, and we're launching our new era with the least

the smallest get possible. I mean, who could have ever predicted that hiring Barry Weiss, a person liked by, at most, 25 billionaires, like, in the entire country? Right. Like, who could have ever guessed that her audience wouldn't be massive when she took over CBS? Yeah, also, hence the anchor. Yeah, I mean, we might as well. The 25 richest guys in Texas.

All right. Just, it's just, we don't have much of an update on this, but there was a mass shooting. Brown over the weekend, immediately a suspect was arrested. And this is starting to seem like a bit of a pattern because, as with the Charlie Kirk murder, the person they arrested right away was also immediately released. And they were like, ah, fuck, man. Dang it. Did this, uh, did this killer by any chance have like a cop dad who could turn him in?

Yeah, that's really all, that's what they're hoping for. wild two that Donald Trump had to post I've been briefed on the shooting that took place at Brown in Rhode Island the FBI is on the scene the suspect is in custody God bless the victims and the families then like what a few like an hour later the Brown University police reversed their previous

statement the suspect is not in custody he was very mad at the Brown police specifically for that one yeah right because it's so funny too because then the Providence police were like we never announced that we had him so I think you need to come at Cash Patel I had to reverse that

we never said shit well that was like um the last time i mean charlie kirk like wasn't cash mchell doing like live streams where he was like holding up evidence uh before before it's been entered in and like you're really not supposed to do that as far as i know yeah but he's just that's his influencer as head of the fbi yeah yeah yeah i mean like it'd be fun to blame it all on cash Rettel, but I do remember, like, going way back, there's, like, that wire episode where, like, the FBI guy comes, comes in, and they're trying to do, like, a behavioral profile, and McNulty's, like, asking him, like, oh, what was your, like, guys's, like, biggest success? And he was like, oh, you know, we caught the Unabomber. And he's like, oh, and his brother turned

him in. Right? Right. It's kind of what we're hoping for here. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The videos that they're sharing, like, there's, like, a headline that's like, they have a picture of the suspect. And it's like just a like person dressed in black across the street. Like it's not. Back to camera. Yeah. Without without any. They're like we're hoping and this is also what happened

to the last one. We're hoping that they can people recognize the gate. Yeah. Look at the way this person walks. A super soldier, you know, they're always wearing black and not looking at the camera. Yeah. You would have, you know, walking away from people trying to photograph them. This is just like they're like textbook.

Yeah, that's definitely Jeffrey for sure, dude. Yeah, he's always crumping when he's walking. All right. Yeah, it would have to be like Sean Penn's character in one battle after another. Right, right, right, right. Oh, yeah, I actually do know who that is. That guy's got the most distinctive walk ever.

All right, let's talk about Donald Trump. His post about the murder of Rob Reiner and his wife, Michelle Singer, which I don't know if we mentioned, but Michelle Singer was the photographer of the cover of the cover of Art of the Deal. Oh, wow. Crazy.

No way. Yeah. But he was given the opportunity. So we talked yesterday about how he tweeted about he like almost, it was like ISIS taking credit for a terror attack.

He was like, yeah, that's what you get for having like Trump derangement syndrome and like he made a lot of people mad. Yeah. By like hating me. So I think he was like,

usually you want to do that Like, you wanted to ascribe the opposite ideology to the killer, not the, like, dead person usually. Yeah. Right. And then so people, he was offered an opportunity to clarify his position on the tragedy, and he somehow made it worse. Also randomly referring to himself in the third person, he said Reiner was a deranged person as far as Trump is concerned. I was not a fan of Rob Reiner at all in any way, shape, or form. I thought he was very bad for our country again like what are you doing he can't stop himself from riffing so like if he's on that if he's going down that road he's got to do all the you know he's got to do all the riffs on top of it like seems confused almost why anyone is asking him any further questions about it like yeah no I did well dude yeah he's I'm glad he's dead is that what you're also the momentum it's the momentum of him never actually having to account for any of the shit that he says so it's now like and I think

now as he gets more senile he's like, yeah, what? Yeah. I mean, not the... Rest in piss. That's what I said. Bozo. But, like, also fuck around with Trump and you will find out. Yeah, it was a little... And I think that was all... The response to that

was really interesting because there were, there were mostly the most conservatives were like, I don't know about this, bro. I spent... I burned a lot of mileage shaming people for, like, quoting Charlie Kirk after he was killed. And we were trying to be like, we don't do that over here.

And then you're doing this shit, which I think probably speaks to a wider, you know, division that's occurring in the MAGA. It's always fascinating to see what is going to make them tug their collars or, like, you know, activate their, like, possible hypocrisy sensors. Because it's like, you think they got blown out, like, years and years ago. But then something weird, like Trump making fun of Rob Reiner after his death is, like, apparently that, that's the line. I mean, whatever the line, that's great. it's just yeah it's always interesting to figure out what it is but that line is like it's it feels so far out and then suddenly it's like right here and then it goes back out again and you're like what the fuck is this like yeah i think it's the ones who are i think it i think it is the kirk thing and then being like actually we don't because someone was like oh yeah rhiner was critical of trump so wait for the crazy like mega people to come through and people are like we don't do that actually uh that's something you guys do in the aftermath of the killing charlie kirk but we're bigger than that and we Trump burst through the wall, like the Kool-Aid man. Actually, he was a very bad person.

It was bad. Fucking. Am I right? What? I also like the idea that you're asking Donald Trump. Like, are you going to apologize for something that you said in the past? It's like, what about this man's history would lead you to believe? Or would you like a chance to double down on it, perhaps?

Ben Chippeiro even said that is a horrifying statement from the president, truly, truly bad. Um, like, I think also, especially with Marjorie Taylor Green hitting the exits and the polling being where it's at, I think what the story that we're going to hear more and more is just the actual anxiety that's being experienced by a lot of the conservatives that are elected that are trying to figure out like what the fuck they're going to do with it. Because like they, they try to have a come to Jesus moment with Trump. Yeah. In the last couple days. I mean, when you come to me. Yeah. Okay. I mean, when you have an essentially like power. worshiping ideology, like as soon as that power of the strong man starts to wane, it's like, okay, well, now they're figuring out, like, which way the wind is blowing. And he's not seeming like the guy who just won an election anymore. He, did you see the photo up where like the miracle on ice guys from like the 1980 hockey team came through and for some reason they all had cowboy hats and they gave Trump a cowboy hat? I was wondering why he was wearing the cowboy hat. And he looks like Biden somehow.

Like he's so old and like a child at the same time. He's got this like big goofy smile on his face. Like we. And the head is like the hat is so, so big that it looks like a little kid putting their dad's hat on like they had to like put newspaper inside to keep it from like falling down on his head. His face looks like Tim Robinson in the I think you should leave sketch where he's in the old man makeup, then he's like, I don't even want to be around.

Yeah, I got too much shit on. Too hot. Yeah. That's what his face looks like. Yeah. It's the guys behind him are like laughing at him. That was the same day as the Rob Reiner statement, by the way, just so everybody. Oh, so then he played happy cowboy?

Yeah. So wait, that was, so that was the, that was, those were hockey players wearing cowboy hats? Yeah. I don't know why that, like, I guess maybe they're like, were the white hats. Like that defies my, uh, understanding of hockey. Yeah. But maybe he just thought it would be cool to, like, dress up like a cowboy on the day that he was, like, trying to create the next justification for the next great American war. No, he's those are those are Bush's thing.

There's no sequence of thought right now with Trump. He just said, what? Rob Reiner, he bad. Cowboy hat. Wee. Bang, bang, bang, bang. Fent and O, WMD. Okay.

He always looks like a make-a-wish kid these days. Like, anything that's happening, you can just imagine it being a make-a-wish kid. like the FIFA Peace Prize where he put the medal on himself. Yes. But the way Johnny and Fantino was like, and then this is your medal that you get to have and here's your trophy. You can take that anywhere you want. He's like, oh, wow, really?

I love eating at Caros. He's like the bat kid. They did like a whole thing for him. Yeah. Oh, you got to, you get to ride in the Batmobile now. But just to put it in context of like him not giving a fuck about the death of others, the anything of others, but particularly their death. That's clear from a lot of his policies, obviously,

especially during the pandemic. But, you know, his public statement, the Charlie Kirk one was pretty amazing, where it was like, everyone was like, all right, guys, this is our Reichstag fire. This is our chance to, like, pull in all this power. And somebody asked him, how are you holding up over the last three and a half days after Charlie was killed? What would the right answer be for a power-hungry sycophant, you think, to that?

To just be like, I give a monologue, are you legitimate? I'm furious, you know, that these leftists are trying to take our country over, and it's time to do something about it. Yeah, the Nazis are really good at weaponizing that kind of, like, fake sentimentality, and, like, Trump is just incapable of any kind of sentimentality. He doesn't give a shit. So his response was, I think, very good. and by the way right there you see all the trucks they just started construction on the new ballroom for the white house which is something they've been trying to get as you know for 150 years and it's going to be a beauty it's an absolute absolutely magnificent structure and i just see all the trucks that this is where you're like and i just see all the trucks and he's going to be like and maybe like brings the background and i'm thinking about all the building we can do like now that yeah and instead he said they just started so it'll get done very nicely, and it'll be one of the best anywhere in the world, actually. Okay. Okay. Well, well said, sir. Uh, 1997, months after Princess Diana died,

uh, he described how he could have nailed her during an interview with Howard Stern, also repulsively claiming he would have forced her to take an HIV test first because she was working with like AIDS working with children. Oh, okay. That was like, I remember that was her whole thing. Yeah. Jesus Christ. He had like two weeks. of introspection after he got shot and then I think he noticed how bad it made him feel where it's like oh wow reflecting on my past actions is not very fun and then I think he ran like a thousand miles in the opposite direction as soon as he was over that yeah he might think he's invincible yeah honestly which might might be yeah like I think he probably does at some level and then the bullet whizzing past his ear probably convinced him even more than like he is he did spend 9-11 bragging that his buildings are now that tallest. I know they get brought up a lot. But it's just important to never lose sight of the fact that this is what he was saying on 9-11. 40 Wall Street actually was the second tallest building in downtown Manhattan. And it was actually before the World Trade Center was the tallest. And then

when they built the World Trade Center, it became known as the second tallest. And now it's the tallest. That is 9-11. On 9-11. He can't turn off real estate developer brain. ever that's just talking up a property or just generally everything has to be like oh yeah dude i'm killing it yeah any answer it's like oh my god someone you know died yeah yeah dude but i'm killing it yeah yeah oh my god 9-11 happened yeah for sure dude but my building now is fucking killing it's like now one of the tallest buildings so actually i prefer the racist podcasters who don't get shot right he did open his eulogy for his father saying i was having the greatest year of my business career and I was sitting having breakfast thinking of how well things were going for me

when I learned of his death. That's how he opened his eulogy for his father. The structure is always I'm killing it. I'm killing it. But he thinks death is gross and he doesn't want anything to do with it. He reportedly called dead soldiers in Arlington Cemetery losers. They were trying to get him to go to Arlington, like, in line with, like, a long-held tradition. And he said he didn't want to go. And at first, he claimed it was because he didn't want his hair to get wet in the rain. And, like, literally, that was his excuse, which I guess he didn't realize sounded really bad. And then when people pressed him, he said he didn't believe it's important to honor American War dead because in a conversation with senior staff members on the morning of the scheduled visit,

why should I go to that cemetery? It's filled with losers. Like something that you would write in a parody and it's like everything every aspect of this is just so parody bad guy like who just like can't just loves laughing at people when they die do think the like wet hair thing is very important because I mean people have pointed this out where it's like he's got this massive comb over and like the hair on the sides of his head it goes from like his temple all the way down like swooped by. behind his ear, like that's like six or seven inches of hair where if if it's like when he's coming out of the shower, it's got to be like down past his chin. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just like everything about him is a house of cards, including that do. And so he has to like make all his decisions based on like keeping that where I think there's also the other part too is that he is a draft dodger and also has such a like he's diametrically opposed to people in the military because I think on some level he's like they fucking know i suck they think i'm with fuck they're but they're the losers

they're the losers actually and i'm smart i'm not a coward i'm actually smart and better than them yeah i mean he made that decision at a certain point his life and was just like and uh being being a coward is actually the smart thing to do and so has had to like build his entire interior world around that but i do think he has like an inherent aversion to death and, like, since it's weak, there's a good illuminating example of how he views human life and a story that he himself told. This is not a story told about him. An 80-year-old man fell off the stage and hit his head, and his response was to show. Was that Mar-a-Lago? Yeah, at Mar-a-Lago. And his, it was like right next to him. And this is a guy

he knows. His response was to shout, oh, my God, that's disgusting. And try to revert his gaze while the man's wife was screaming. And then he, became concerned about the floor, specifically the blood seeping out of the elderly man's skull. I said, oh, my God, that's disgusting, and I turned away. I couldn't, you know, he was right in front of me, and I turned away. I didn't want to touch him. He's bleeding all over the place. I felt terrible, and again, you think it might turn, you might become human, you know,

I felt terrible, you know, beautiful marble floor, didn't look like it. It changed color because very red. Because very red. Because race car. Oh, became very red. All right. I don't want to misquote him. Okay.

That became very red. Don't let your, don't let your TDS hang out like that. All right, bro. Yeah. The idea, again, everything's like, oh, my God, my floor, my beautiful marble, because I'm killing it. Right. Because that reminds him of his own impermanence, I think. And so, like, you know, his dad's death reminds him that he's going to die one day.

And so rather than accepting that, And letting that truth in, he just, like, starts talking about how fucking hard he's killing it and how he's on the front page of the New York Times for killing it. His, I think his reaction, too, when that one dude fainted in the oval during that, like, pharmaceutical, like, shindig, where he walked away from it. That fucked, because I think he, that was like, oh, like, he froze, like, he just kind of froze up. Like, he just kind of stood up, looked at the guy and then just stood up. And I think shows whatever his, his relationship to death is very, very. Reeve, but I mean, I think it's, I think it's the thing he fears the absolute most. Well, he's like, he's like Don Draper.

I don't know if you remember in Mad Men when like, uh, Roger Sterling, like has a heart attack and like Don Draper like can't hang out with him anymore. Like it's like he has the same inherent fear of weakness and, uh, like fallibility, except it's just like it's so much more on the nose in him than an in fictional character. Like in most fiction, it'd be like a subplot. It'd be like, oh, that'd be too on the nose if he was like, oh, God. God, there's bread. I don't want to get it on the expensive Italian shoes. Right. No, he just says that out loud.

That's disgusting. Because he needs a good excuse for why he's actually afraid of death because he can't let it in. But it does just seem very unnerving that this person who is on death store and couldn't be further away from having any sort of ability to grapple with his own mortality is in charge of like the nuclear. clear codes at this point just seems like as his mind is deteriorating he's also just willing to do whatever he can to like not have to grapple with that shit yeah he's has like i'm taking you all with me kind of yeah he does have yes when his brother fred trump junior was dying in a hospital in 81 he went to a movie instead of visiting him in the hospital uh his siblings had to pressure him to visit his mother in the hospital before she died and when one of his bankers died

Trump was urged to call the man's family, and he responded, why he's dead? He can't give me anything anymore. Why would I call him? Wow. Call the man's family. Yeah, I mean, there was the whole relationship with Roy Cohn, who was like his mentor or whatever.

Right. As soon as he was, as soon as he was, like, deteriorating from AIDS, Trump, like, stopped hanging out with him. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Anyways. So, it'd be interesting to see how he continued.

used to deteriorate before our eyes. Right. We're going to take a quick break and we'll be back to talk about some stuff that isn't Donald Trump. Let's try that. Oh. We'll be right back. Have you ever listened to those true crime shows and found yourself with more questions

podcasts. And we're back. We're back. And we do want to just check it with McDonald's, as we have been doing periodically the past couple weeks. As we all know, they phased out their supersized option in 2004. Actually, probably many of our listeners don't even remember that supersized was an option where they would ask, hey, would you like us to supersize that for you?

I think our audience is firmly in the millennial. In the, can remember that. For the younger, yes, I get that. For the younger, it was like just a size beyond even what is available. now for such a nominal for such a nominal price increase it's like I don't know you go supersar like 39 cents and you're right yeah I do need more saturated fat and then they part of the reason they discontinued to that discontinued that was because of supersized me or like morgan spurlock made that movie where he like asked to supersize that every time they ask and then he goes to the doctor and he's like suffering all

these health effects and like looking back on it it's like oh he was leaving out the part where he was also like an incredible alcoholic when he was doing that. So, uh, yeah, I didn't really,

I knew there was something people were saying, it was implied. It was implied. Why else would he be making this? Yeah, yeah, yeah. But yeah.

So they phase it out in response to supersize me. Now they're back in the fuck it phase of their corporate life. Okay. So last year one corporate chef suggested that the supersized could be poised for a comeback. Okay. And then this month, McDonald's Thailand has just unveiled their party fries,

which even in the like promotional photos, like the person has to like tuck it under their arm. It's so big. Like you can't hold it with one hand. It's the length of a forearm. It's a football. It looks like someone, it looks like the Heisman trophy.

Like, or like you're fully a running back is carrying the football. But full, just jam packed full of McDonald's fries. I don't hate it. I like that they're implying it's for a party and not for you. But I believe that because this is Asia, right? They're doing it in Thailand.

They're doing it in Malaysia. In Japan, they have grand size. And that is very much like a, hey, I brought some fries we can all eat. You know, like that's a very, that resonates with me. Like, you would never see a motherfucker just eating their own party fries on their own. And I, but out here, we do things a little bit differently. So they haven't rolled this out here because they don't want us to die. They're just like, yeah, they can't handle this shit.

They know Americans eat those fries in their car when they're alone and sad. Right. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. Would you like some party fries? Like in America, they just, like, put it in quotes. Yeah, but that's, that just means there's like Molly at the bottom of the thing where it's like, you want to, you want some party fries? Okay, that's 30 bucks. Okay, me out back.

Me up back. Yeah. Don't eat the pink French fries. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You don't want those dusted. That's ketamine and MDMA. It, uh, anyways, we'll, we'll see if these ever make it over, make it cross the Pacific. but they look

I'm intrigued this is wild though too this shows you just like how things how much things cost that party size thing which is the size of a football is $2.70.

Yeah, that's, I mean, I don't know why they don't just bring back beef tallow. Like all the fancy restaurants have gone back to tallow fries.

I know. I think we've realized that like those might actually be better for you than what we've been doing and for some reason they've resisted bringing those back and I don't really

RFK said it, bro. RFK said it, man. Is it expensive maybe? I don't think so. I don't know. It's just like rendered beef fat. No, and it's like, tallow is like actually like a more stable oil.

Like shelf stable? Yeah, like then, you know, vegetable oil or whatever, I think. Every like burger place, like newfangled burger place is doing tallow fries because that's what McDonald's used to do. And people always like, man, remember when it was cooked in tallow? And people old enough were like, yeah. And then you have when you have when you're, you're like, oh, right, this has another dimension of flavor because meat oil.

Yeah, it's, yeah. And I remember, like, living in Australia after they discontinued the beef tallow fries here. And I was like, wow, why is McDonald's so much better here? And it was like, oh, beef towel. Yeah, exactly. There are, yeah, going to McDonald's in other countries, sometimes it's just, like, so much better. Yeah. And then sometimes it's really bad, but.

I've had some great McDonald's experiences abroad. Oh, wow. Apparently it happened because someone had a heart attack and then blamed McDonald's. Yeah, that was, yeah, like the whole saturated fat. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then they're like, oh, fuck. Interesting. The trailer for Steven Spielberg's new movie just dropped.

Oh, can I watch it? It is called Disclosure Day. It's not about a 24-hour marathon of Michael Crichton's erotic thriller starring Michael Douglas and Demi Moore. it is about alien disclosure. Can I watch it really quick? I haven't seen it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Let's watch it. It sounds like they reverse engineered the Inception Brom sound effect. Yeah, yeah, like the THX sound hit. Yeah, yeah. You'd be like this in THX sound. All right, we just watched it. Wow, okay. I've always relied on Steven Spielberg for my friendly alien stuff, you know?

Right. Closing counters, E.T. These guys don't look very nice. We'll see. I don't know. You just don't understand their language. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Actually, it means we're here to be your friend. Whoa, God damn. Did you do the ADR for the movie? Yeah. That actually means we want to be your friend. Oh, okay, great. It sounded a little fucked up. Sorry, I took it the wrong one.

They had to get Nancy Reagan to record those. We actually pulled this from the... We need the throat gold. The hidden tapes. Yeah. It's like the Wilhelm scream, but it's, yeah. We've had this in the vault for 40 years.

There's a nun who is serving an absolute cunt when she, like, she starts doing the throat goat thing on the, the plot of the trailer is that, Emily Blund is a local news weather person on a local news broadcast that fucking everyone in the world is watching. Yeah. That has like the control room of ABC, CBS and NBC news in the 90s all combined.

Like there's like a bustling. It's not just like fucking four people off camera. They have to take a vote on whether to switch cameras. Right. And then she starts doing a throat goat clicking and bopping throat alien noise. And everyone's like, hmm? And there's a nun who like is doing doing the most. What's the buy like what's the buy line for this?

The byline? The log line. Like sorry, log line. Yeah. What's the like what are what do we say? We don't know. They're keeping it, uh, mysterious for a reason, I think, which is not coming out till the summer, which is pretty early for a trailer, yeah, yeah.

Oh, I think, yeah, that felt like kind of old school and like you'd get a little bit of a smidgen of a Spielberg thing and everyone goes, oh, what the fuck is? Yeah, okay. This feels like old marketing style that I... And it's got a classic spooky movie move that they've recently perfected where deer are walking toward you instead of away from you.

They're not scared anymore. I will say that the throat clicking sound reminds me a lot. of the like no the Jack Wagner podcast other world oh yeah the alien visitor ones because all of those women

their throat started clicking that was like that was like one of the things from other world from like that the Scandinavian woman who was like they were like those extra interdimensional intelligences or whatever they had they're like here's a recording of like the throat clicking sounds that somehow

were happening and it was that same like maybe they just all saw a rival with Charlie Sheen in 1996 or whatever. Were they also throat click into that one too? I'm pretty sure that sounds exactly. The one I remember, the thing I remember most about the aliens from arrival was that their kneecaps bent the other way and I was like,

oh, I don't like that. Yeah, I just remember to be like, fuck, no, no, no, like that was the one detail that stuck with me.

Can I take you to see the ruins, my friend? Not even after Stephen Spielberg or Stephen Seagal has gotten through with them. They bent backwards. on purpose. Yeah, that's just how that joint worked. Anyways, I'm excited about this. This is a massive budget and film for somebody in their, what is he, like late 70s at this point? Yeah, sure.

But we haven't seen any evidence that that's a bad, that's a bad bet anywhere else in the world. 78. So, I mean, Killers of the Flower Moon. That's what, that's what keeps me having faith that these guys are going to keep churning out the good shit. Yeah, well, don't see Ella McKay if that that's what I've heard, the James Brooks movie. Yeah. People might not know. But the maker of a few, as good as it gets, and some very popular movies has a new one coming out,

that everyone's like, it's a throwback to the Olden. And apparently, not bad. It doesn't quite reach the same levels. It's, yeah, you feel like your brain is leaking out your ear or like you're on drugs when you're watching it. It's very, it's like, like Tracy Flick. from election. If she was like the hero of the movie

and was like a politician and then it was written by ChatGPT, that's basically like the movie. It's very strange. Sounds good actually. I'm fucking on board. Did you guys get AI vibes from that one shot? Like obviously he did that dialogue but like there's

a part where like the deer and his bird friend are approaching a house and it's like doing the Steven Spielberg thing where it's like glowing from within which I'm sure he did that and allowed by like setting up a fucking nuclear fusion reactor inside of a no they had to get uh they had to get thomas kinkade to storyboard that um right yeah it does look like a thomas kinkade it's like at a certain point like we all agreed that we can't

use uh like actual animals in movies anymore and right we and that cg i is just as good and it's uh it's really not i mean i get the idea behind it but uh yeah no Yeah, I think the AI, it had that like sheen to it that felt AI, but I feel like I can't imagine Spilberg would do a shot like that and just be like, I don't know, can the AI do it? Then maybe I could just be putting him on a pedestal there. But also, I don't think he did. I think I'm just saying AI might have ruined that for me. Like I can't watch a movie without being like, that looks like AI, bro. What I think it's all, it's all trained on shit we've seen before.

So if there's any slight overlap, you're like, it's like hitting. And you're like, what the fuck is this? Is it not? But, yeah, well, AI problems we got now. I mean, I feel like, you know, we say, oh, he'd never do it. That's Spielberg, you know? He's like, yeah, right. He's like a legend.

He would never do that. But I feel like the people that are susceptible to AI or think that's a good idea are old, like a Gen Z person would not want to do that because they'd be like, no, I'm, I've seen too much of this. It looks stupid. I would never do that. But the old people are like, oh, look at this. Look at this new toy.

It's like Homer with the Star Wipe. Right, right, right, right. I thought the Trump picture, the picture of Trump with the big cowboy hat on, I was like, that is certainly AI. Like, that's just somebody, like, everybody tweeting that, like, everybody is 12 years old now, like, that that being put into AI prompt. And instead, it's just reality is, is drunk. Yeah, you're like, oh, somebody Photoshop that Getty, getty images watermark on there. There's no way. There's no way.

That's true. No, at least he has said he is against using it in any kind of creative capacity. Well, that's good. Yeah. He said now for budgeting. He did make a movie called AI, though. So can we trust him? Or maybe this is an allegory about how his brain was taken over by AI when he was making that Halley Joel Osmond movie.

I don't know. TBD. We'll find out. What if that's what that movie was about was just like people making shitty memes? It's just Haley Joe Osmit making like Charlie Kirk songs in his book. Right, right, right. And, like, making Jude Law's, like, Gigolo robot character sing him. He's like, all right, do this song next, motherfucker. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What if Charlie Kirk was a rapper?

We figured it was like an apt metaphor for podcasting. Yeah. Is there a work of media that you've been enjoying? Ooh, a work of media. I was ready for the good post. Yeah, that's what, yeah, work of media, social media, whatever you'd like to call it. There's two.

One, it was like the security questions. This is from it's on Blue Sky, from Andrew Tuske. I had to sign up for some insurance thing years ago that asked the most haunting security question I've ever seen. One of the security questions is, where were you during 9-11?

Which, I feel like those are always next level intrusive, but that's It's my new favorite, my new favorite one. And then another one is also from Blue Sky, Don Moynihan. He just has screen capped a Elon Musk post where he's like agreeing with some account called Geiger Capital. But it's quoting, it has screenca, this is like a Russian nesting doll of like different tweets. And the one, the original one is from a poster named at cum lasagna one.

and the Don Moynihan post is the richest man in the world nodding along to at cum lasagna. Yes, yes, yes. Exactly. Which is social media in a nutshell. There you go, Miles. Where can people find you

as their working media you've been enjoying? Yeah, just find me everywhere at Miles of Gray. Also talking about soccer, football on Ain't It Footy. It's a new show I'm doing with Jamel Johnson and Chris Martin, not of Coldplay, disappointingly. And it's a fun time. If you like the Premier League, you should definitely check in

because it's a fun, fun show. What if I don't like the Premier League, but I like a fun time? Oh, you should definitely check in then because there's me, there's Jamel, and then Chris, he's got an English accent. So you're hearing it all. And then a lot of times we are,

I am auditioning English accents with Chris and trying to get him to co-sign my English accents. It doesn't go well a time. iambic pentametering it. Uh, yes, yes. Um, also on, uh, 420 day fiancee, talking about 90 day fiance. Let's see. A couple works I like, oh, yes, uh, this is from, uh, at Mr.

muncher to you dot B. Scott at social posted. I don't know if you know about the like computer memory is like really expensive right now because they're holding it off because they're, like they're saying, well, we're going to need it for AI. So if you need like, if you need, yeah, if you need memory now, it's like, I don't know. So this is what this post is about. Quote, just so I'm clear on this, computer memory is tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet

has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's called the economy, stupid. Yeah. And then a lighter one is just from, you know Miles, who's just like a rapper who says he doesn't give a shit, but he has his one post about being six. two it's called six two um and it's just a fun video and i just play it a little bit

how you ain't got no bitches and you six two how you ain't got no job but you six two how you ain't got no car you six two how to fuck your water out your water out yeah how's your water out you're six too oh the water in the house yeah yeah yeah how have you not paid your water bill you're six two just the idea they was questioning like a six foot two pregnant woman who's water just oh wow hey look project your own meaning onto it but that That's from at you know Miles on Instagram. All right. Enjoyed a tweet from Trash Jones.

Mm-hmm. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And then I also liked from Devin at D. Challey underscore tweeted, at a hockey game and the girl in front of me kept yelling, kiss each other when the players fought.

And I have to assume that's downstream from the heated rivalry. I'm sure. But everybody's now going to hockey games. Being like, more fucking. This is like what I did. Why aren't they kissing? I took my son to monster trucks

and I kept yelling, Show me the Carfax. Oh, no. How many dads did you get who turned around? Like, hey. Oh, a lot of them. Hell yeah, brother. This guy knows.
