Yeah. She's good. She's good. She's great. Well, the NYU, the students, they're good actors. Yeah, they're great. Tish. Can we talk about Tish's Tish for a minute? I called her Tish.

Just Tish. I call her Tish now. If anything, she'll good. Just Tish. I call her Tish now. If anything, she'll be known as Tish from now on. Tish the Dish. Tish was great. We did get dinner drinks, dinner and drinks with Miles. And then- We had some fried cheese sticks and a chicken meatball.

I don't know if that makes a dinner, but- No, I shouldn't tell this story, nevermind. Nevermind, I shouldn't tell it. No, it was just that, by the way, edit this out. Obviously it was the cold open, but miles, by the way, we had a great time. It was great meeting Tish and thank you for hanging out. But miles was doing this thing where he was yelling. So he would go to order a drink and he'd yell top shelf, top shelf over and over

again, and then just swish it around his mouth and spit it on the ground and then yell top shelf, top shelf. And when the check came, I thought we were going to split it and he grabbed my wrist and I said, you're hurting me. And he goes, I pay, you don't have what I have. And then, um, and then I said, stay in your lane. Yeah. You said stay in your lane. And you said your home's mine now. Yeah.

And then you said, stay in your lane. Yeah. I said, stay in your lane. And you said, your home's mine now. Yeah. And then you said, you said your daddy and then you didn't tip. Um, you said, I don't have to, when I asked you about it, you had to sneak back and do the tip and he got really mad. And I came back and I said, Oh, that woman didn't pay you. Julia. That's weird.

Well, she must be real cheap. Cause I thought the service was great. Anyway, I got to go baby. I got, I got to head out. You did scroll out barefoot. You left your shoes. I'm glad this is all being cut out. I ran out of my speakers. This is really revealing too much about what Miles is actually like off mic.

Yeah. On Thanksgiving Day 1999, five-year-old Cuban boy Elian Gonzalez was found off the coast of Florida. And the question was, should the boy go back to his father in Cuba?

That was from Fashionable Dinosaur from, I think, I guess when Miles took a sabbatical. Right? Yeah. Wow, way back. Maybe a year ago, yeah. February of 2023, okay, I'll take that. Yeah, that was, people know that of my birth era.

Yeah. When you came into consciousness. Blake, it's so good seeing you in person the other day. Plumper's is the name of your thighs. Yeah, plumper's is the name of my thighs. And that was a fashionable dinosaur. I don't know if I said that, but yeah, no, we talked about in the opening,

but Miles and I did see each other in person and I got to meet her majesty. He got to meet my magens, my, my magic magic magic, my magic. Yeah. Uh, we had of, yeah, it was, it was fun. It was really, really nice and easy, you know, like we had never, I had never met, we had never met each other's spouses before. And yeah, it was just an easy, fun, really funny.

I feel like we could be going on cruises together. You know what I mean? That's the next an easy fun. Yeah, really funny. I feel like we could be going on cruises together. You know what I mean? That's the next step. Yeah. Yeah, and yeah, I would love where would you want to go? I want a cold weather cruise if that's okay with you. Yeah, that's fine. Yeah Cold weather King. Yeah, baby. We'll go I'll just I won't go but I'll tell you facts about miles, you know Weather King that's a great pick for him Blake I'll be like, Miles is a cold weather king. That's a great pick for him, Blake. You guys can do Scandinavia.

Yeah. Ooh, I like this for you too. But then I don't get invited to the meetup. That's cool. And then when there's a chance for us to hang out in person, because we are recording this in New York city, Blake is just, just across the river. Blake ditches out when there's a chance for all three of us to get in. Yeah, that was, that was kind of fucked up.

I asked, I looked you in your eyes and said, will you be here in person? You said, oh my God, I'd love to. And then I get a text, hey, you know, I don't know if I can do this shit. Oh, hey. Yeah, well, when you ask me things when I'm drunk, I don't often follow up, so.

I'm the same. I'm making plans for like, oh man, we should get breakfast tomorrow. So, we're not getting breakfast. Yeah, no, I would love to. I'm glad we saw each other. Jack, I think the reason why I didn't go over there is because you and I have this almost an incredible history at this point of being in the same area and not seeing one another.

So we've done it in Ocean City. We've done it in Ocean City. We've done it in Florida. We've done it in Florida. And now we're doing it in the city. The two places my parents are. Yeah. So where next?

I don't know. We've done it in Florida and now we're doing it in Florida. The two places my parents are. Yeah, yeah. So where next? I don't know. We should, yeah. We'll pick a cruise to go on and not see each other. Just, we'll schedule. We'll have two ships pass. I'll be aft at this point. But you'll be on, yeah. You'll be whatever the opposite of aft is. Starboard, my friend. Yeah. But anyways, it's true, right? What I told you, Blake, miles hits different in person, right?

I was hits different in because I'm big hands, the knuckles really. Yeah. They, they make contact. That's right. It's funny. I, I ended up getting like the sniffles a little bit and I had to take a Claritin because he has that dog in him. Like you told me before, I said, watch out for that dog allergy.

This guy's got that dog. It's actually terrible dandruff. Terrible dandruff. Yeah, yeah. I wish it was the dog in me. It's the dry scalp in me. All right, Blake, we're gonna get to know you a little bit better in a moment.

First, we're gonna tell the listeners a couple of things we're talking about today. The two winners of the Musk Millions Bribe-a-thon apparently already voted. So I don't know how well that works for him, theoretically. We're going to talk about the two heroes of the right, the two anti-abortion guys that heckled Kamala Harris and are like, and I lived to tell the tale. They're going to have one of those, I survived a Kamala rally by screaming.

Yeah. We'll check in with the polar coaster and also the polymarket election betting markets. I don't know if people are up on these, but they're all saying Trump's going to win in a landslide. It's all very depressing out there, by the way, if you pay attention to polls. Don't need them. Don't need them. Don't need them. All I need is James Carvel telling me, he say that he's still so Kamala swamp cat and she gonna catch that bog rat. Every time you got swamp cat with a bog rat, you see, you got trouble.

Yeah. Anyways. Uh, so we'll talk about just all the people who are watching the election. Worrying. I am worrying. I'll tell you what is keeping me sane. All of that, plenty more. But first, Blake Wexler, we do like to ask our guest, and you know this about us.

What is something from your search history that is revealing about who you are? On Saturday, as it will be forever known going forward, the day after I saw Miles. Oh yeah. D-Day plus one. D-Day plus one. And they don't give plus ones for D-Day, I noticed. Whenever I go to Normandy, they just make you go solo.

But I had to Google Patch Bike Tube because I fucked up a day. I fucked up my Saturday in a way that I'm like, I don't know if I should be allowed to make a decision ever again. And I drove to new Brunswick, which is like 45 minutes away, uh, which is a s**t hole, but they have a great, beautiful bike path that goes along like the Raritan Delaware river. So drove my bike out there.

It didn't realize a Rutgers game was going on home game. So I was driving into football traffic, like the game was right before. So already fucked myself. And then I get to the, I couldn't park. I finally park right across. It was right next to the stadium. And then two, like three miles into the ride, I hit a rock at a speed that was crazy and just blew my, just blew up my front tire and I'm like, Oh,

I don't know how to fix this. Yeah. I was like trying to get an Uber to take me back to my car, but there were surge prices because of the wreckage. Yeah. So I was getting, so I was cheap. You bankrupted yourself taking a bike ride. Yeah, I bankrupted myself.

So I ended up just sitting and looking up how to change a tire. And then I patched it. I figured it out after like an hour and then it like popped again. So I had to walk three miles and like my tiny little outfit all the way back to my car through this weird party. Oh, you were in a little bike outfit. That's right. Yeah.

I have seen those on social media. Yeah. Oh yeah. Yeah. It was, and it was, it was one of the more revealing ones that I own. And you were wearing one that says St. John's on it. So you were really getting smoked too.

I was really, yeah, I was wearing a Chris Mullen jersey and a St. John's bottoms. St. On the left ass cheek. John's J-A-W-N-S on the right. St. Jones. Wait, did you have a, so you had like a patch kit on you? I had patches and then I had to like, it's,

so inside the tire, there's a tube and a tire, so the tube is what you inflate if you have that type of tire. It's like a little, like a mini tire, I guess. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And that's what little, like a mini tire, I guess. And that's what had the holes in it. So I covered the holes and I was able to like, oh, I fixed it. And then I did, I apparently I hit that rock so hard.

It was not fixed. Yeah, it was a bad, it was a bad thing. I thought that was only children's bikes, but that's okay if you ride children's bikes. Oh, my bike has three wheels on it. I'm sorry, I use a tricycle. Yeah, yeah. But it does feel like they need to start making bikes specifically to deal with

the speed at which you ride that thing with those plumbers. Like, would it be safe to say that like bike companies should probably. To start like change their approach when it comes to how you ride that thing. Thank you. So I've reached out to Ford every day for the past three years, trying to get them to make me a bike, a Ford bicycle and, and they won't do it. So Chevy, yeah. And it has to be American made.

If it's not, I'm not going to fucking ride it. You know this. So Mazda, your muffs, the other ones, I only, I can only name Mazda as an international car. So Hummer, uh, extensive knowledge. Yeah. And I won't ask what kind of an international car, so Hummer. Extensive knowledge. Yeah. And I won't ask what kind of car you drive in your personal life, because I don't want to ruin the brand image.

But yes. No, no, no, no. It's a Subaru. Wow. It is a Subaru Bronco. Yeah, yeah. It's a Subaru S10. Yeah, yeah.

Subaru Silverado. It's aado Silverado. Blake, what's something you think's underrated? Um, neighbors, I always saw them as an adversary, you know, as like, Oh, they're loud, annoying, dirty, ugly, but I now have good looking helpful neighbors. Wow. And it's changed everything. Like if you have a package come in, you can send them a text, you know,

Hey, this is going to get stolen in 0.5 seconds. Can you please bring it inside? And you know, if you leave our dog, he starts like, Oh, hey, your dog's freaking out or whatever. Like they can do that. It's a fantastic, it is a huge stress reliever. So it's, if you have the right neighbors, it really does make your life a whole, a whole lot easier.

Blake, did you steal your underrated from the Seth Rogen film neighbors? Just, so not just the underrated, my whole vibe. So I have these like hot neighbors and I've really come around on them. At first I hated them, but now I from them. So I had these like hot neighbors and I've really come around on them. At first I hated them, but now. I love them. And then I watch, I'm assuming an R rated movie. I watched his PG, Seth Rogen's first PG rated movie.

And I loved it, Neighbors. Neighbors is good. What's something you think's overrated? Oh, I guess this kind of has to do with what I was just talking about. Getting things delivered all the time, sometimes it's better just to pick it up in the store. There's packaging waste, obviously, which is,

let's be honest, not something I'm gonna do anything about, but packages get stolen. But also, I tried a pharmacy, so there's this pharmacy called Capsule, where it's a pharmacy, like, so there's this pharmacy called Capsule where it's a, like a digital only farm. It's a digital pharmacy that like delivers to you. It's like in New York and they're like, Oh, we'll drop off your medication at

between noon and four and someone needs to sign for it, which I guess I kind of get, but I can't just be around from new to new to four. And also I need like, it's not like, Oh, I'm going to lose my mind if I don't have it or, or my, you know, my plumps are going to fall off, but it's something I do need. So it's yeah. If you just go pick it up, I don't think that needs to be for someone. Now, if you have, you know, mobility issues, I would imagine having medicine delivered is fantastic, but not if you're a fucking guy about town.

On your bike. On your bike. On my bike. On your racing single. On your three wheeler. And a singlet. I think just generally, I think I miss going to the store. There was an excitement about being like, oh, I'm going to go do this thing.

And online shopping has ruined that to the point where I just don't even care about it. I just like to see things this thing. And like online shopping is like ruin that to the point where like, I, I just don't even care about it. I just like to see things in person a lot of the time. So I'm old, you know, that's how I look at it. Big story. And I don't have like, I don't like doing that thing. Like her majesty will do that shit where she's like, Oh, I don't know if this shoe is going to fit, so I'll, I'm going to, I'll order three sizes of it and then

return it and then just get my money back. And I'm like, Oh, fuck that. I'm not going to charge. I'm going to do it three times. No, no, no, no, no, no. I'll go to the store. That's me. Yeah.

Shoe shopping and not, yeah, with the sizes or like any clothes shopping online seems. Oh yeah. But yeah, it's, it's wild because also you could just like go and figure out how it fits in a store as a put, like, I feel like it's it's wild because also you could just like go and figure out how it fits in a store As put like I feel like it's more work in the end because you're like having to go to the mail place to drop it Off. Yeah. Oh, yeah, and I have and I'll give up on like things I have to return I've like a part of my closet. That's just the

Like the city of lost orders. Well, yeah These pants are too tight and I also can't be bothered to put them in a fucking envelope. So I guess I'm like, guess I'll starve myself and not walk for three months. Right. Or maybe I'll give it to a friend. And they like, I don't like I have like a weird, just hypothetical friend in my mind who's like, they're going to fit this.

Yeah. They don't. I have that real, that real friend. His name's Eddie Finn. He's a comedian of Philadelphia He's like, I'm like, oh I can it's before I was a little bit behind like age my body aging So I'm like I can still wear like a slim fit medium I can't so like I was like, oh he's skit So I've just been giving him my clothes cuz it's just this year your thing. I've been really his style

Yeah, but it's just not dressing like me It's not even really his style. Yeah, but he's just now dressing like me. He's just grooming him to be your replacement. You're like, oh, you look great, man. Here, try these glasses on. You're grooming your own Dickie Greenleaf, your own talented Mr. Ripley. Yeah, you're like, I would be so flattered

if someone talented Mr. Ripley. I was gonna send him to your studios today. He just shows up. We don't look alike at all. Blake looks so weird. And he has dreadlocks for some reason. Yeah, he does have dreadlocks. Yeah.

Which I love, but no, and also, yeah, the, I do have like a, a Portugal, like national team Jersey that I only wear once every three years after I get food poisoning. Like it's the only time I hold on to it because I'm like, oh, you're going to end up eating something tainted, tainted some tainted beef, and the next few days you need something small to wear, and then I won't be able to wear it again.

So, yeah, I'm with you. It's just a shirt that you've thrown up in a lot, and so you feel comfortable throwing up on it? No, that's interesting. Because you get food poisoning, you thin out to a place where you can fit into it. No, it was the first one. So there's a little clip on the back

that I can clip my hair into when I'm throwing up. So it doesn't get in the toilet. See, and if you'd just be willing to see me in person, I'd hold your hair back for you. Yeah. Oh, Jack. Yes, that's why he always keeps little hair bands on his wrist. That's right.

I know. I always thought that was like a charity thing. He says it's a shout out to Kevin Garnett when Kevin Garnett used to wear rubber bands, but it's for long haired friends whenever they have to vomit. That's right. Anything is possible. We've said it so many times. Anything is possible.

Anything is possible. Impossible is everything. What was it actually supposed to be? Impossible is nothing. It was supposed to be impossible is nothing. Impossible is nothing. Anything is possible. Anything is possible. Much better tagline. But he is nothing. So Kevin Garnett. It was supposed to be impossible is nothing. Impossible is nothing. And he said anything is possible. Anything is possible, much better tagline, but he got it.

So much better. Yeah, he fit there, fixed it for you. That's what they should have. They should have said, oh, thank you, Kevin Garnett for fixing our terrible tagline. Anyways, let's take a quick break. We'll come back. We'll talk about the news.

I feel like the last few years I've really unraveled a lot, which is part of what this book is about. And I really feel so content, which is a word that used to scare the crap out of me. And I love that word now.

Listen to The Bright side from Hello Sunshine on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. And so big news, Elon Musk is doing an illegal bribery campaign to get people to register to vote Republican. So, I mean, the illegality of this doesn't really seem to be in much doubt, right? Yeah. I mean, aside from maybe some legal finessing language wise to explain why it's okay to have a million dollar a day lottery for people to register to vote.

But right now, there's apparently like a letter going around DC where, quote, former Republican lawmakers, advisors and Justice Department officials have called on Attorney General Merrick Garland to investigate tech billionaire Elon Musk for awarding cash prizes to voters and swing states. If they signed the petition, we'll see what happens. I don't know. I don't think anything will happen based on how this DOJ has been. They'll be on it, man.

If anything, he'll be on it. But the other thing that's interesting is there's so like two people have one. So as of this recording, there've been two people that have won the million mega millions bribe, the phone checks. And they apparently like these people have already participated, like they've been registered Republicans for years. They've participated in recent non-presidential elections and they have already mailed in their ballot for this November.

So they want all this prior, like they did this prior to even winning it. So it's kind of like, w wait, what, what's the point of this? Cause if the whole point is to turn out people that are not as engaged in order to squeeze out extra votes and get them to register, then this first batch of winners would indicate that that is a failure. Yeah. He's just not, he's not even cheating good. Like if he had just, if he had made the rule, like you have to register.

Like for the first time, like, it's not just that you like have to be registered. Like, oh, you did that. Yeah. You have to not have voted for Trump before or something like just, if you're going to cheat, just go all the way, cheat as hard as you possibly can. Pull up the table, knock on people's doors, just like watch them fill out a ballot and then give them the money right there. Right. You know, that's how you should do it. Sorry, Elon. That's how you cheat. That is how you fix it. But the other part that's so stupid is when we were first talking

about, I said, if, if this was like his plan, why not do that earlier? Because it's so late in the game to be like, all right, now I'm going to chum the waters with a million dollars a day or whatever. Because this is, again, if you look, this is from Politico. Monday quote, Monday is the final day to register to vote in Pennsylvania. And deadlines have already passed in Georgia and Arizona. Registration is now only available in person as part of early voting in a handful of other swing States.

So like you, they might be like, oh, I actually can't register. Right. Whoops. Yeah. But I won a million dollars. I don't know. Maybe that would be the best. A bunch of people who didn't, they're like, I'm sorry, I can't register.

Do I still get to keep the money? If this is proven to be illegal, the he'll just take the money back from them. Yeah. Yeah. There's been by force. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. There's been by four. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. When, but like, so when this fact was pointed out to someone at Musks, like America pack, they said that actually like this is all the media attention and outrage over this is actually really good for this because it's brought in a

lot more visibility. So there's actually good to make it seem like you have to cheat to get your guy to win, that you have to like pay people to vote for your guy. That's actually a good look. That's actually fucking 5D. That means we're winning, dog. It's 5D Scrabble if you know how to play that. The thing that I'm curious because a lot of people have been speculating on

is that how much Elon Musk has, like in the last fucking month, just put the pedal to the metal in terms of like interference. And a lot of people are speculating like, what, what's his exact legal jeopardy, you know what I mean? That he wants to make sure that he, he has a Trump administration that will be kind to him based on like what. I think it's more the fact that all the bill, like we talked to yesterday, the, the top five donors for the first

time ever are donating to, like individual donors are donating to conservative causes. That's the first time that's ever happened. I just think they really smell an opportunity more than like they're donating out of fear. They recognize like fascism is so good for the extremely wealthy. Right. There he's going to be able to, like, he's already just able to just fucking take a hammer to civilization and all these companies and just like do whatever the fuck he wants.

But like in a Trump presidency, he's going to, it's going to be. Yeah. He'll probably be the head of the space force. Yeah. Some shit. No, it's, it's going to be. Yeah. He'll probably be the head of the space force. Yeah. Some shit. No, it's, it's going to be very bad, like in ways that we can't imagine, but I think he can imagine, you know, that's how his brain works is like different ways to extract billions of dollars from people who have less money and while making

their lives worse, that's like his genius. He's such a little brat. Like he's such a, like just a loser baby. I mean, I could be talking about summer. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He is. He's on his breath and how to a, how to a, how to a, and thank you for

adding for randomly throwing in a hot tub. And he is like a little kid where I'm just speaking to why he's doing it now is I don't think he had the foresight. Often with him, with Musk, it's if he's getting encouragement and if it seems like people are reacting to what he's doing that eggs him on, it's like a little kid where if a little kid starts like, I mean, I don't know, if you don't want your kid to curse and the kid curses, you shouldn't laugh because it encourages the kid.

And now he's getting all this, like look at Twitter. He bought Twitter because people were making fun of him. And then he's like, oh, now I can be the Twitter guy and everyone's gonna retweet my things. Isn't this fun? And I can keep saying this horse shit. And now he's doing it with Trump where people are reacting to it.

And he's getting fanboys, the worst fanboys you could possibly have I know like you were from getting a little Yeah, you know from getting booed for five minutes at that Dave Chappelle show that the Chase Center in San Francisco to now like Hopping up and down at a MAGA rally. Yeah This is these these people are really cool. Did you not know he's making an X with his body? It's cool It's actually cool. It is cool know he's making an X with his body? It's cool. It's actually cool. It is cool because he's making an X with his body. Try making a Twitter with your body.

Huh? Try looking like a burger. It's fucking impossible. It's so hard. You could do it with your hand if you maybe fucked some of your fingers up maybe. But that's the whole thing. It's dangerous. Yeah, that's true.

That's true. I'll give them that. That's the whole thing. It's dangerous. It is. It's so dangerous. Yeah. I mean, it's just, I think it's, like, the billionaires tried a coup in the 40s. They couldn't pull it off because they picked the wrong military leader.

They really tried to overthrow FDR. Like, I know I say this basically every episode now, but I think it's very much worth noting that just look up the business plot. That's why they're so excited about this possibility. They want a fascist dictatorship. I will also say as much fun as it is to point and laugh at the failed aspects of this. Like paying people to vote is, so I've been obsessing over polling for the past 24 hours, just cause I'm terrified.

Very healthy. And like one of the things I was reading is like in order to get better polling results this time around, one of the things the New York times did was send out $5 to people in an envelope and they were like, we'll give you 20 more if you take our poll. Like no question. So here's $5. You just get that.

This is just a taste. This one simple trick that doctors don't want you to know did get a bunch of people who wouldn't normally answer polls to respond like it. So not to say this is like a masterstroke, just that paying people to register to vote is illegal for a reason. All right. Well, speaking of controversy, we have a couple new heroes that we want to highlight on the right.

We, you might've heard their voices at a Kamala rally yelling lies. Lies. Cool. I like that. That's what they came up with. Yeah. Lies. Okay. Now's when we do it. Cool. Cool. I like that. That's what they came up with. Yeah. Lies. Okay.

Now's when we do it. That's good. Why I have it's original at the very least. I know it's only one word, but it's, you know, they came, at least they're making something of their own, right? They're big fans of that guns and roses album. Cool reference, Jack. Uh, but anyways, these are anti-abortion activists, and they are making the rounds

being like, you won't believe what we experienced. We abuse the derision. It's so anti-Christian. So I'll play a moment where they go crying on Fox News, where they just kind of, I mean, embrace yourselves because what they went through was, it sounds just terrible. I took this cross off my neck that I wear. And as we were getting asked to leave, I held it up in the air and waved at her and pointed to her. And she looked directly in the eye, kind of gave me an evil smirk. And yeah, I just want to clear that up and confirm that she 100% was talking to us.

And there's other controversy that says we left. We were getting shouted at, pushed, assaulted, screamed at. So we were walking away. But there was about three attendees there, volunteers that kicked us out with press with badges or whatever they had. And I specifically remember this one man saying you were uninvited and unwelcome to this event. You need to leave. And all they did was walk us out the door. They didn't tell us why. No cops escorted us out.

No Secret Service. And yeah, that's our story. Oh, my God. Obviously, it was because they were Christian. Yeah. Well, that's what they turned the whole thing into was because they said, well, first we were yelling things like, you know, Christ is King, Jesus take my boner and things like that. And they didn't like that.

So then they then they screamed at us. And that's when Kamala gave me the evil grin. And she said she's on Satan's side. And I just think I just want people to know that she just it's just so deeply anti-Christian. It's just like, you know, I don't know why they claim that they have such a big tent as a party because they clearly, they do not want Christian people there. I mean, they were probably the only Christian people like at that event, right? Like other than Kamala Harris and probably 90% of the people there.

It depends on what version of Christian you're going after. You know what I mean? It's like, the good version. Yeah. Well, it's like. The type that mean? It's like, the good version. Yeah. Well, it's like, the type that opens a conversation being like, have you accepted Christ into your life, brother? What about, yeah, Christ's radical acceptance. Oh, not that part.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, he said they got shot. When they said they assaulted him, later on this other guy's like, yeah, this elderly woman pushed me a little bit. You're like, 18 by the way. You're like, children. You kept getting less and less harrowing too, where it was like, and then an unpaid volunteer who was there out of the goodness of their heart told me I wasn't welcomed. Not get out, just, hey, you're not welcomed. You're not welcome here.

That's really disrupt. They said things like we were being disruptive and disrespectful. Just because we were screaming things like this is just abortion is a satanic sacrament in a room full of people that actually respect body autonomy. Anyway, whatever. It's like this is America, man. This is America.

They made eye contact with me. It's America for you. Yeah. It had, it had very much had that like when Ralph Wiggum was talking about how he saw Principal Skinner and Mrs. Krobopel kissing and the baby and the baby looked at me and it smiled and it's like, what? Okay, sure. She looked at me and she gave me an evil smile. That's the evil.

That just like really brought me back to time spent around those types of Christians, where they want to make everything spooky. Yeah. Then he said, this thing that clearly meant- That's what I'm like, man, y'all should just try premarital sex. I know this is bad. They're like, I don't know. I think this Benegans is evil.

That's right. Benegans. Yeah. I mean, I guess there's only like three left in the country. So in that sense, it's spooky, but come on now. I'm an Irish guy. Oh, okay. Yeah.

Irish, right. Good Irish Catholic name. Oh, Charlie's. Oh yeah. They, they accept Christ. Yeah. My, uh, Christian Baptist friends like made me drive out to this house in the country. They're like, that's a Satan house.

Like it's satanic and they like really worked out. Interracial couple comes out with a family. They're like, Oh, I told you, I told you. It's like an interracial couple comes out with a family. They're like, oh, oh god. Oh, oh. Oh, no. I told you, I told you. It's so spooky. It's a white couple with two daughters. They're like, oh my god. Oh my god.

Dude. They have two daughters. Two women. And they were skateboarding. A man's sport. The dad's got a hearing like in Righteous Gemstones. Right. He's bad.

He's evil. He's evil. How's everybody doing? Just in terms of- Huh? Just going to take it. Hey, guys. Now's the time you're asking that.

I'm going to turn my chair around here. Just wanted to take a minute to check in with everybody. Speaking of Christ. Yeah. I don't know if you've heard of my man, JC, but he had some pretty cool things to say. No. You mean the Atlanta Journal Courier? How? No. Uh, I don't know if you've heard of my, my man JC, but he had some pretty cool things to say. No. You mean the Atlanta journal courier? How?

No. Oh, AJC. Oh, sorry. My man. I like, I thought that was fantastic. No, there was a, there was a AJC poll that came out that was talking about Georgia polling and how Trump is up plus three now. Yeah.

That's, I guess that's what I'm referring to. How's the, the polls are bad. A bunch of media outlet, like the economist, uh, even Nate Silver have shifted things towards Trump. Like granted, it's like this used to be Kamala 51, Trump 48. Now it's Kamala 49, Trump 51, but that's enough to get me to click on that shit. I don't know. I think, I don't know with the polling, I, I'm just always going to kind of end

up in the same place, which is it's merely, it's a, it's just a vibe. You can't count on it. And I think regardless this, it's going to be close. It's going to be very, very close. So starting to split hairs over if it's 49 to 51 or 48 to 50, all that shit, I think it just shows that it's super tight. And there was a, like, if you like on Pew Research, they had an article that was talking about polling. And in it, they talk about all these other variables that can influence the accuracy of polling. And they said, sometimes when you take everything into account, the margin of

error, usually it's like around 3% can actually be double that. Right. If you're looking at polls that have a plus minus of six, then things that are just a couple of points in between aren't necessarily like, like the be all end all. And I think the bigger point too, is that now that a lot of like news outlets also do polling as part of their like horse race coverage, like they're like, we teamed up with these, but this is what our polling says, right? Like now it's clear that they're incentivized to always keep updating

with stuff that gets people more engaged and clicking and things like that. Because at the end of the day, like one thing that's been seen is that it's like the non-partisan polling that the end of the day, like one thing that's been seen is that it's like the nonpartisan polling that isn't coming from political, like the actual candidates, their political parties or other packs and things like that aren't nearly as accurate as like independent ones. And even then, again, those same errors exist. So I know it's, it's the kind of shit that you want to start freaking

out about by looking at, but at the same time, like you have to, we kind of have to sort of look at it. I mean, like, this is not, this is not the right way. Like it's not fully accurate in the same way that you can actually, you know, that, that the farm on it, like I have, thank God, man, you got a lot, right. Yeah, man. Oh boy. Yeah. I've lost a couple of farms, a couple of heifers.

Yeah. I guess the theory I've always had in my head is like, she needs to be up by a ton because both of the last elections have had big polling misses in the direction of Trump. So I was researching that and there's one guy who got the midterms right and said, like, the reason for the polling misses in 2016 and 2020 were different reasons, 2016 they under-indexed like non-college educated voters. They fixed that for 2020, but they missed Trump voters because they were, they just were busy like working and ignoring the pandemic and like Biden voters were busy

like social distancing and freaking out about the election. So they actually answered the polls. And there's all sorts of reasons to suspect that both of those things have been corrected for and possibly over-corrected for because they're so scared of getting things. The mainstream polls are so scared of getting things like the mainstream polls are so scared of like getting another miss in Kamala's direction. You know, overestimating Kamala in the polls. And so he is still like, it's pretty like it's close, but Kamala is winning, which is that made me feel like slightly less crazy, but also, I don't know. Like, yeah, it's just, everybody seems to say it's close.

Well, and I think there's also this thing of like, just like with the red wave that was supposed to happen in 2022 and never materialized. That was also because partisan polling operations were shifting the averages. Yeah, that's the other thing. By just reporting stuff that wasn't as accurate. And again, just sort of tipping the balances to be a little bit more friendly to the GOP. So I think at the end of the day, the most you can really say is that it's close. It's close, yeah, yeah. And that's all these things are saying.

There isn't something where every poll is like, oh my God, there was a 20 point swing in one direction. Yeah. No, it's just, it's that things are close. And I think that's like the, the shitty part that we have to go through every election period is like, what the, oh, no, maybe not this much, but yeah, I think. Yeah. The guy who I'm talking about, Ed and Germanton is one of the only people who

had the like called bullshit on the red wave thing pretty consistently and confidently. And he's one of the last people saying it doesn't look as good for Trump as a lot of the polling suggests right now. I think that Jack's like, Oh, I've been reading all this, you know, like research on, on polling. And meanwhile, you're just watching videos of like the octopus who picks like the world cup teams. Yeah. He is is an octopus but he like uses numbers. Yeah.

Like no I understand. I understand. I know I don't know why his name is Eddinger Mentum. That's the name of an octopus. He's the best octopus. He's the smartest octopus that's out there. Or just watching videos like those like pegboards or dropping a ball. And you're like, which way is it going to go? Oh, I did read an in-depth look at the, the 13 keys guy who like claims to have predicted every election since 1980 with his 13 yes, no, true false statements and less confident in his state. They were like, first of all, he hasn't actually predicted things right. Like, I mean, they really dug in on the fact They were like, first of all, he hasn't actually predicted things right. Like, I mean, they really dug in on the fact that he like claims, well, I got 2000, right? Because I picked Gore, but Gore won the popular vote. And he also says, well, I got 2006 team,

right? Because I was the only person who called Trump, but Trump didn't win the popular vote. So he's like, yeah, but still. Right. So like, but who won? Yeah. Okay. You squeaked it out. And then James Carpenter still out here. Put that on. Freak away, please. Put James Carver away.

That man, the Lord and snake nipples and get him out of here. They've all bog rat with a swamp cat. Like just the race is close. The race is close. That's like watching a ferret in a weasel in a foot race for a little bit of old mouse meat. And he thinks that we know obviously who's gonna win that. Oh, a ferret in a weasel in a foot race for mouse meat? Oh, okay. The ferret wins every time. Wait, what? Aren't ferrets and weasels the same thing? I don't understand, what is this?

Unless you're running up a tree trunk. That's actually genius commentary. Yeah, yeah. All right, let's take a quick break and we'll be back. I'm Julian Edelman. I'm Rob Gronkowski. Guess what, folks? We're teammates again.

On Thanksgiving Day, 1999, a five-year-old boy floated alone in the ocean. He had lost his mother trying to reach Florida from Cuba. He looked like a little angel.

I mean, he looked so fresh. And his name, Elian Gonzalez, will make headlines everywhere. Elian Gonzalez. Elian, Elian. Elian, Elian. Elian Gonzalez. At the heart of the story is a young boy and the question of who he belongs with. His father in Cuba.

Mr. Gonzalez wanted to go home and he wanted to take his son with him. Or his relatives in Miami. Imagine that your mother died trying to get you to freedom. At the heart of it all is still this painful family separation. Something that as a Cuban, I know all too well. Listen to Chess Piece, the Elian Gonzalez story, as part of the MyCultura

Like our recent episode with dancer, actor, host of Dancing with the Stars, and now novelist,

Julianne Hough. I feel really whole. I feel like the last few years, I've really unraveled a lot, which is part of what this book is about. And I really feel so content, which is a word that used to scare the crap out of me. And I love that word now. Listen to The Bright Side from Hello Sunshine on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts,

or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. We're back. And we back. And I got a burlap bag full of mouse meat. Why do you call it mouse meat? Mouse meat is so gross. I'm sorry.

Because I feel like it would be mice of mammals would be like trying to eat crab. You know how crab is like, there's such little meat. You, so much work for such little meat. There's good eating in crabs. There's, most people are just too lazy to get in the bone in the, in the, in the shells and scoop it out. Good, good eating in mice too.

Good eating in mice too. A lot of people leave a lot of meat on the bone. My great grandfather was a crawl daddy. So I'm very well aware. That's the thing. James Carville, the Carville family known for getting all the meat off the mouse bone. Before he starts an interview, he spits out three mouse pellets. That's the thing, the Carvel family known for getting all the meat off the mouse bone.

Before he starts an interview, he spits out three mouse pellets. All these mouse meat. I'm just, anyway, forget it. I'm like a big old owl. You know, I'm just up there. Freaky. Freaky. With big old eyes, nobody trusts me. You ever see an owl without his feathers?

It looks like me. Yeah. No tootsie pops here, Just, just, just mouse meat. How many, how many bites does it take to get to the center of a mouse meat? Just one, just the one. Ow. Just one. Just one for us to call Vail. Just one and then bites a mouse in half. Anyways. Oh, James, trouble. Hey, yo, this is so, hold on, this is so disgusting. But I was picturing, he yawns on set one day and he has like like a squid's beak in the back of his mouth

I'm glad that you stopped. Yeah, they said hold on hold on the press. Let me just tell you what went through my head He's got a beak. All right, does it come out? Like is it like oh like a daily? Yeah, like a xenomorph. I hate it more if it's hidden I hate it more. Yeah, I've seen like like oh wait, they have a tongue ring. You know what I mean? Like everyone Andrew Cuomo had nipple rings. Yeah. Yeah. Yes that bummed me out. Damn What a time time is he just went away. He came and he went. Yeah. And he's come, he's tried to come back. That's just not happening for him.

No, no. Maybe Eric Adams should get some nipple rings. I mean, I would, I would be surprised if he didn't have. I bet he just takes about electrified. Yeah. Just fraternal order of police nipple rings. All right. Well, speaking of people in the Illuminati who control the world, uh, we were talking

about mouse meat. It's weird when you say mice meat, Blake, it's mouse meat. Oh, sorry. I'm so sorry. Why would I pluralize it? No, you're right. I'm sorry. I am sorry.

Just in keeping with the theme of, you know, the business plot with the wealthy donors being like the billionaires, all being in the tank for fascism, I've been noticing a trend in mainstream media where they're kind of giving up on climate change because of AI specifically. They're like, all right, enough with this climate change stuff. Now there's money to be made. So as we've discussed, we had like, you know, academics on who looked at the large language models, they say AI is mostly pointless bullshit. That requires a entire New York city's worth of electricity to like.

Fuel a fancy auto complete and all these large language models. But that's also how I get all the logo design for my CarbosMouseMeat.com. I don't have to pay somebody to design my website. Oh my God, he yawned. He does have a fucking squid back there. You just hear clicking as he opens his mouth. I can totally see you just sitting with him on a porch and then he just smiles at you with his mouth open and you hear a clicking from the back of his throat. What is that noise, James?

It's my squid beak throat. Oh, squid beak. I use that to, that's how I chomp down the mouse meat bone. It's my inner beak. You ever tried to pass mouse meat bone? Very difficult. Without a squid beak? Click, click, click, click.

But yeah, I don't know. I believe there are targeted uses for AI that are going to be useful, certainly worthy of some research, but as a like mass reach consumer product, it doesn't seem to make sense. And it's like burning down the electricity grid and like forests. So recently, uh, yeah, there, there were also like recent headlines where they're like, the grid is soon going to be maxed out at a time when we like actually need to be drawing down our energy consumption. They're like, it's the AI has really taken it off the charts.

Anyways, good news for people who still live in the year 2008 and think tech CEOs are going to save us. Eric Schmidt, one of the founders of Google, has basically said the quiet part out loud, the quiet part of like the thesis behind this, what I felt like I'd been seeing in headlines for a long time, he basically said, it's time to give up on trying to solve climate, double down on AI and use AI's like brilliant solutions to solve the climate crisis for us. There you go. So. Okay.

How? The AI is going to figure that out. To power machines. That's where James Carville comes in back in the end. I got some ideas on how to cut down. We've got to stop eating beef, y'all. That's just doing too much to the carbon. We got to be eating mouse steaks.

They need to give us like one, just one example of AI, like doing, solving a problem complex and like that is complex like this. Okay, you AI hater. I just pulled up the world economic forum cause you can trust them. Uh huh. Okay. And it says how AI is helping with climate change. And it's mostly just referring to stuff that it's just helping us measure

how fucked up climate change is. It's like icebergs are melting. AI knows where. Cool. Yeah. I think people they're like, but it does it faster. It can map deforestation. Okay.

That's a thing we can do maybe at a slower pace. It's going to give us such high resolution images of the earth failing. The other one is like helping people see where there's like plastic pollution at the bottom of the seat. Oh, that's amazing. Oh, wow. That's like, again, so helpful. We've said this in the past too.

There's because there's also a lot of talk. He's like, it could help homes be like more efficient with energy. Okay. But the other part of it, they, when they, when they actually like did a survey of people who have smart homes, they're using it to like, stay more comfortable, not to be more efficient. They're like, no, I want this place freezing cold and when it's hot and I want this thing, like a blast furnace when it goes below 60. Yeah. Yeah. Like, so it's just using more energy and it's not actually saying like, I don't know in his mind, what does it do?

It's like, I have invented a new thing that we just need to plug in and it will reverse the cart, like what? Well, you see their like overall philosophy that like long-termism, a lot of that is like, yeah, well, you know, a lot of, half the population may die, but it'll be good for humanity in the long run.

Like I really think they're coming at it from a perspective of like half the population may die, but it'll be good for humanity in the long run. Like I really think they're coming at it from a perspective of like, the global South may all die, but we in Silicon, we the like masters of the universe who are actually smarter than everybody will, you know, like just eugenics. I feel like it's- I'm 40 degrees above the equator, so I will not see the worst of it as it's happening.

But it's just, again, so stupid because we know what the fuck we need to do and I don't need AI to tell me That we need to fucking sort out all of the carbon emissions Yeah And the way we are using fossil fuels and our energy generation and we actually need to modernize like our grid to use more renewable energy So again, yeah, the solutions are there. They've already been like the, the problem has been identified and the way we get through it has been pretty much been screamed in our faces by every atmospheric

scientist, every scientist who's like working in this field, but yet again, they're like, what are you talking about? The climate goals? Yeah. Because he was talking about those climate goals and he said, quote, all of that will be swamped by the enormous needs of this new technology. We may make mistakes with respect to how it's used, but I can assure you that we're not going to get there through conservation, get where.

Oh yeah. To selling more AI. Yeah. To selling more AI. To selling my things. Yeah. Yeah. It's just, it's been assumed like, yeah, sorry, the market says we're, this is popular.

So we're going to keep pushing this. Also, this news is coming out as scientists are pointing out that carbon sinks, which is like the natural way the earth eats half of the carbon we emit with like forests and ocean algae have been failing because I guess we don't really know why, but like the past couple of years, they're kind of not working as well. The ocean isn't drinking, eating up as much carbon. Forests aren't eating as much carbon as they used to. So it's like drastic action is required right now.

And these motherfuckers are like, I need to plug my device in. It's like drastic action is required right now. And these motherfuckers are like, I need to plug my device. It's also like more absurd because like Microsoft and Google are some of the worst emitters because of their AI operations. Yeah. So like the fact that he's going to march out here and be like, no, we actually need to double down on my earth fucking technology that might save you a couple bucks on your website, design for mouse meat.com like that.

Then it's worth it to just accelerate earth. Right. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Yeah. Turns out like the Tony Stark 2008 model of like the tech utopia will save us was exactly wrong. They're going to kill us all to make themselves richer. So, hey, but they get richer.

They get, so that's one thing to point out. And that's a really good point, miles. They will get richer. Yeah. So, and guess what? You don't need to be a rich man to get, take care of, take advantage of these deals. We've got a mouse meat.com, carlos mouse meat hut. Oh yeah.

You get 40 pounds of mouse meat for $28. It's just going to be them surviving, like tech billionaires surviving. And then James Carville, like up to his eyes in a bog, just like looking at them. Oh, Carvel will survive. He's like a cockroach. I'm convinced with that little squid beak he has in the back of his throat. He'll be okay. Well, he's already 500 years old.

Yeah. So it's not like what's going to take him out. Like, Hey, they call me Cajun Nosferatu. He requires meat shortage. Yeah. You know, scorpions like don't can live their whole life without drinking any water. Like they just require zero moisture at all. From eating? Yeah, I think they must get from eating or like intergenerational. I don't know. Intergenerational hydration well. Because they're just like born in the desert.

They have to be like built to survive without much moisture. But I think Carville also similar. Oh yeah. He looks dry as fuck. He looks like beef jerky, the person. Well Blake Wexler, what a pleasure having you on the Daily Zeitgeist. Having you here in... Oh wait, sorry.

and it's on TikTok and or Instagram. It's Shonick Gadkindi has a show called bodega run show. And basically they strap a huge GoPro to someone's head and send them into a bodega with a list of stuff to get in like X amount of time. And if they can do it, they get 100 bucks. And the panic that comes over these people when like and also the visual of like the GoPro coming off a pole Pointed at their face is so funny watching them run around a very tight bodega. So it's a really funny show so it's called a bodega run show and Yeah, it's on social media So that that's happening while he's on stage and they're just like kind of taught.

Okay, do the John Wick. I got no. I got no. I'm going to do it on three. One, two, three. At the techno wave. Yeah, John Wick shot a guy. You go.

No, this one is great because since we're like in the home stretch of the election, we just have more and more of these like weird fake anecdotes. And like, I was in a liberal coffee shop and I was shocked at what I overheard. They all want Trump kind of shit. So this is a new one from at Kylie Jane creamer. Don't go there. Cause this is just a sad, uninformed person, but this is like clearly a fake made up interaction.

Uh, and first of all, this was quote tweeted by Evan loves war at ESJ ESJ ESJ and said, this woman has never spoken to a black person in her life. And this is what the interaction she said happened. After watching Donald Trump work at McDonald's, I had to have some 18 year old black male met me at the drive through window. I told him how Trump worked at McDonald's today.

And I had to get some fries. Him for real? Me. Yes. In Pennsylvania. Him inspiration. That's why I'm voting for him. Me, me too. Him.

I can't wait to look it up. It's on the news. Me. Yep. All over X2. What do you mean by inspiration? Him. He's just like me and maybe I'll be president one day.

Laughing emoji. I am now 18, so I get to vote for him. My whole family is too. Media won't tell you that because I'm black. Smirky emoji. Me. Love it. Keep working hard and maybe I'll get to vote for you one day too. Him. Maga. Okay.

That all really happened. Sweet conversation. That happened. That happened. That's just a sweet real conversation. When he said he may be president one day was the crying laughing face her? Don't get too close to the sure thing pal All right a couple tweets have been enjoying melody anti at anti material girl tweeted at the techno rave yeah John
