That over there is Miles. Yep. Yep. Yep. We got hackers, y'all. Watch your fucking hardwares and your softwares because the hackers they can get in there dude But lasers like steal money from your wallet. That's what my kids asked me. I'm like the hackers take over the car Oh, I mean they got like that. They got that late 90s

CBS TV show writer Concept of how computers work good you could you could engage like a kill switch on a car with a yeah Yeah, I guess they can get a car. Yeah. Yeah, you know if you're really hack the money directly out of my wallet I don't think no they would have the last words They would pretend that they are asking you for an unpaid toll fee. Yeah, yeah And that's how they would steal the money out of daddy's wallet. That's right. That's right Yeah, and that's how they did steal the money out of my's wallet. That's right. That's right. Yeah. And that's how they did steal the money out of my wallet. And that's why kids, you can't get braces. I'm sorry. I think, look,

with the white lotus season, in the fucking hole to these toll people, dude, jacket teeth are in right now. Yeah. You just need to start dating Walton Goggins on an HBO show and you'll be you need someone with gigantic teeth to to your teeth be like, Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, them teeth is normal. That's the chicklets are you still not caught up, right? No, no.

So you haven't seen the same Rockwell? No, I only kept hearing about it and just seeing memes about it that I'm like, Oh, this shit, it's like launched a thousand memes and I'm like, I was like, Goggins has been kind of wasted in this role or like so far, like, it hasn't paid off like, you know, he's one of my favorite actors anywhere and It was all worth it for the just his reaction shot You got you got him you can double dip cuz he's uncle baby Billy right now

I'm a baby gemstones and they got two episodes out of Rite of the Gemstones. And he got damn meat out already. Oh, for real? Some dumb, it's fucking, it's stupid. Wait, Rite of the Gemstones season is stupid? Yeah, no, I mean like. What a turn. The gratuitous full frontal nudity. Gratuitous meat out?

There's some gratuitous full frontal in. Yeah. Maybe that's the HBO's thing. I read a thing where the guy who was the dad of like the Duke family, right, he's the guy who was the dad of like the duke family right he's got his meat out in one of the scenes and then i saw this thing where he was like it's a double standard for me to be asked about my penis like when women aren't asked about he's like i don't think mikey madison's asked about her vulva and i was hanging out the whole

time of anora damn dude yo don't need to like get so defensive I know and then he was like, okay, that's on me. Maybe that was the wrong phrase it He's like it is all we're always hanging out all over town It's like what do you my grandfather says that hanging out everywhere? she then he was like it's just weird when people ask you in an interview like if that was a Prosthetic because he's like basically it feels like he was asking me like so was I looking at your real dick? Yeah, dick. Hmm. That is a weird question. Like fair, fair enough on his part. Like that's a weird question.

Don't juxtapose it with that. Definitely what I wanted to know, but definitely not a thing that as a journalist, I would be like, Hey man, is that real meat or what are we talking about that? 100% real, real, is that B grade? Yeah. Real a grade beef. Is that what's for dinner? Anyway, kind of packing. Um, but yeah, real A grade beef.

Is that what's for dinner? Anyway. You gotta pack him. But yeah, the Barron Trump thing, that's trending right now because again, just fucking the goofy Hitler, Donald Trump, continues to terrorize us and demonstrate how stupid he is. He was doing an interview with Laura Ingraham

and he just got this real cool one, cool quote out about how Barron is so good at computer and I don't know, dude, try not to have your ears bleed. Well, is Barron's aptitude in your view business or politics? Maybe technology. He can look at a computer and try turning off his laptop. Turn it off, I turn off his laptop. I said, oh, good.

And I go back five minutes later, he's got his laptop. I said, how'd you do that? None of your business, dad. Now he's got an unbelievable aptitude in technology. What? What? Wait, you think for us that he can turn it back on? How you do that?

How you do that? How you turn it? How you do that? How you turn it that you do that how does he say that turn it off his guys turn it off i turn off his laptop i said oh good and i go back five minutes later he's got his laptop i said how'd you do that how you did that how'd you do that yeah tremendous attitude for turn on laptop turn on on laptop. He has tremendous aptitude for, how you do, dad? And he's like, none of your business, dad. I do believe that part where he's trying to interact

with his son and he's like, get the fuck out of my face, you motherfucker. Get out of your dad, God. Just give me my crypto. His son just kisses his ass, I think. Cause they, I think everybody close to him kisses his ass because they recognize that they stand to They are like he is going to try to pass power on to Baron

Like I don't think he I think he hates Donald Jr. Too much to probably Yeah, yeah, or Eric or something he's gonna try and keep it in the family, right? I mean, that's the only that's how this sort of despotic shit works usually But I don't know. I what if Hitler was hilarious. Yeah, Jesus Christ So anyway, he has a tremendous aptitude because he can turn off computer. Damn put him in charge of fucking NSA Okay, I turn off the computer. I come back five minutes late. Like that is the lowest fucking bar for like he must. You must be having his mind blown by the most basic magic tricks. What is but but this is my thing is, oh, right.

Like if you do the thumb, like, oh, I'm pulling. How'd you do that? So other fuckers probably getting like people are like he Putin must have a p-tape he probably believes Putin has his ear. Give it back. Give me my ear back. I doubt they'll learn some Russian swear words but I also like the interaction if you sort of distill it down to what the narrative was of this anecdote it's that Barron's on his computer Trump hates that he's on his computer. He's like, hey, get off the computer.

I'm turning it off. And I finally get that thing off. I come back five minutes. The kids got the dang thing back on that I told him to turn off. And I'm like, how you do that? And he said, he's like, fuck you. That's my man. I got it.

Like, what did he think? Wow. It's such a, it's such a low bar with these rich people and their children. Yep Jesus Christ, we're in we're in a lot of trouble if we can't claw this thing back Why did I have an immigrant mom and black father? The bar was too damn high Exactly, man, and then you don't you don't have the self-confidence to just be like how'd you do do that? I remember when I did that my dad said, you know as a young black child You're gonna have to turn on the computer twice as hard than the white kids.

That's right. Before anybody recognizes you. People are just going to be come by knocking it out of your hands. You just got to. Yeah. All right. At the beginning of this administration, I think we were wondering on the on the podcast, like what it was going to look like with these comedians who got famous during the Biden administration. And now suddenly, like the side that they root for are in power.

Like, are they just going to be like, yeah, man, you see what happened at the white house today? That was sick. Um, yeah, you know, they just like get the talking points. That's just so sick. Yeah, yeah. You know, they just like get the talking points. That's just so sick, like that we're just kind of like really reinforcing like the standards of like Western European civilization. Yeah, yeah. Like, I love that they stand for that shit. You know what I mean? That's just so fucking sick. Yeah, it's fucking sad. Yeah.

So we got a glimpse. Andrew Schultz was on Theo Vons podcast and or vice versa. I can't tell the fucking difference. He was on this past weekend with Theo Vons. he was on this past weekend with Theo Vonn. He was on this past weekend with Theo Vonn this past weekend. And yeah, let's just play a little bit because it's interesting. You can't quite see his hand if he has the same talking points that Trump had during the Tesla infomercial on the White House lawn.

But it feels like it feels like he's been he's got his marching orders Yeah, all right. Come on man glaze that glaze that musk train So this is like a kind of shitty situation where like yes. Oh, yeah People he's like rubbing people the wrong way. You don't like the guy You don't like the beliefs you don't like what he's doing and there are things to come on. You don't like the beliefs And there are things to criticize again. But I really think a lot of people turned at the hailing of the Hitler, the seizing of the hail. They hailed the Hitler.

But I don't know, some people are that's not their thing. And I get it. There's stuff. That's your thing. If you're against that, that's fine. But then that is also other people's things. So like maybe we should create space for them Okay continue Andrew This is I'm not saying there aren't things to criticize like everybody is nobody's about criticism But to punish that car company that is a hundred percent made in America Made by people living in America Americans rely on those jobs

Like maybe we criticize another thing, right? Like, maybe we criticize another thing. Right. I love Theo Von is so stupid that he clearly has not right. He has not actually caught up to what ended the part of the conversation and just like energetically because the way it's like, you know what I mean? Like maybe they say, right. My interview style is also. Uh huh.

Yeah. Yeah. And then like five sentences later. Wait a second You just say the thing the person just said five minutes ago. Look it all happened Yeah, and Joe Rogan just seemed to be agreeing Themselves to death. Yeah, right. Yeah. Okay. Sorry go on. Let's let's let's allow the man to continue So I was another thing, right? Goal that we said is funny factories and those Americans lose those jobs that makes you feel better about your gripe with Dylan allow the man to continue. Besides another thing. Right. Like what is your goal?

That we shut down those factories and those Americans lose those jobs? That makes you feel better about your gripe with Elon. That's the thing, some people, they just wanna win an argument, it feels like. Hell yeah, really good point. People don't lie on those fucking jobs. Oh my God.

Damn, that's a really good point, man. They just wanna win the argument that like fascism is destroying everything at a rapid tick. They just wanna win the argument. And they wanna try and, I don's like they just want to win that argument man anyway that is a comedy podcast but it's it's truly like a sub Fox News of like there's just a fucking real surface level Trump Elon Musk made in America dog Andrew Schultz can't even concoct an argument that doesn't contradict everything he's saying right he's like because like Americans are losing jobs because of fucking doge

right right the one thing that he has been Elon Musk the guy who took a cartoonishly big chainsaw to CPAC to like emphasize how much jobs he's cutting. Yeah, exactly. But yet the thrust of your fucking defensive musk is to tap into people's outrage over Americans losing their jobs. Losing their jobs, yeah. Yeah, and that's what I'm going with. And if you disagree with that, man, I feel like you just like want to win the argument because this is not iron clad that I don't even want to win the argument. I'm just literally observing the facts. It is what it is, man. But it's actually and miles, if people stop buying Teslas, they're

not going to buy other cars. So those jobs just go away and don't get picked up by any other car companies. So yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. You're killing America with your criticism of that guy, hiling Hitler and trying to privatize the U S government. You're actually anti-American with that, with that criticism. Cool. Discomfort. Cool. Cool. Thanks. Nice mustache. Nice mustache. Nice mustache. Let me just put it to you like this. All right? Nice stash, dickhead. Are you from New York or something?

Yeah, I could be. Also, just another one. We'll move off of Trump in the second act after the break, but I just want to say his whole like, fuck the courts energy where he's being like, let's sue these judges. Let's impeach these judges who aren't on board is unpopular as CNN numbers guy Harry Entum put it him listening to the courts is more popular than Mother Teresa It is all adults

84% which apparently does better than Mother Teresa who you know, she's she's still Catholic So people don't people don't trust that ultimately 84 percent of people are like dude stop Trying to take right so I'm trying to take over the government like the court I guess everybody was just leaning on the courts thing. They were just like yeah, but we got the courts You can't you can't overthrow the court. It truly was. I mean, when he heard that he's trying, that was the shit.

I heard that from people who were like scared, like Jesus, this guy's going to take over. I didn't realize that 80% of the GOP was also like, yeah, well, at least we have the courts. These are like early Luigi Mangione numbers. Like, we're like, oh, there oh a lot of overlap here across the political spectrum when like you're a 79 percent of Republican voters like 99 percent of Republican voters like please

They know they're like well Then nothing if it's totally not list that it's actually bad So I do yeah that I know that much about civics if there's no law then zero church I've seen the purge people seem uncomfortable with zero checks on his power yeah yeah yeah independence 82% think Trump should follow court rulings Republicans 79% think Trump should follow court rulings when they go against him specifically. I mean this is like a thing too, like right now like the DOE, like the courts are like, you cannot fucking just vaporize the DOE. And so now he just announces like, well, I'm just going to dismantle it.

And so now the announcement is that DOE will be significantly downsized. So there's that. Great. All right. Let there's that. Great. All right, let's take a quick break. We'll be right back. Hey, it's Amartinez. The news can feel like a lot on any given day, but you can't just ignore Las Noticias

when important world changing events are happening. That is where the Up First podcast comes in. Every single morning in under 15 minutes, we take the news and boil it down to three essential stories you can keep up without feeling stressed out. Listen up first from NPR on the iHeart radio app or wherever you get your podcasts. Prohibition. It's no secret that banning alcohol didn't stop people from living it up in the 1920s.

When we're five years into Prohibition, the government is starting to go, OK, this isn't working. In fact, you might even say it backfired spectacularly. I'm Ed Helms. And on season three of my podcast, Snafu, we're taking you back to the 1920s and the tale of Formula Six, because what you probably don't know about Prohibition is that American citizens were dying in massive numbers

due to poisoned liquor, and all along an unlikely duo was trying desperately to stop the corruption behind it. They were like superhero crusaders turning the page on a system that didn't work, wasn't fair, and was corrupt. So how did Prohibition's war on alcohol go so off the rails that the government wound up poisoning its own people? To find out, listen and subscribe to Snafu on the iHeart radio app,

You will use this suggestion in order to enhance your cognitive control. But what's inside a black hole? Black holes could be a consequence of the way that we understand the universe. Well, we have answers for you in the new iHeart Original Podcast, Science Stuff. Join me, Jorge Cham, as we tackle questions you've always wanted to know the answer to

about animals, space, our brains, and our bodies. Questions like, can you survive being cryogenically frozen? This is experimental. This means never work for you. What's a quantum computer? It's not just a faster computer. It performs in a fundamentally different way. Do you really have to wait 30 minutes after eating before you can go swimming? It's not really a safety issue. It's more of a comfort issue.

We'll talk to experts, break it down, and give you easy to understand explanations to fascinating scientific questions. So give yourself permission to be a science geek and listen to Science Stuff on the iHeart Video app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Here's the deal. We gotta set ourselves up. See, retirement is the long game. podcast. pregame to greater things. Start building your retirement plan at thisispretirement.org, brought to you by AARP and the Ad Council. And we're back.

We're back. And just a bit of an update to our earlier story, because we were like, man, it would be dumb if the Democrats went around went along with this Spending bill and just kind of co-signed whatever the Republicans were doing Nobody wants that literally nobody wants that except the Democrats They're the only ones who still seem to be like well we get points for being bipartisan Yeah, so Chuck Schumer did it.

He was like, let's hang in there, guys. Let's collaborate with this fucking regime. Let's see where they're going with this one. And it has been very unpopular to the point that people are calling for him to step down and it's not something that people called for and people are like, all right, all right. It's people are like, yeah, that actually sounds like a really good idea.

Yeah, yeah. I mean, like so Democrats also held town halls. Guess what? U.G.L.Y. Why the fuck are y'all not fighting these motherfuckers? It was ugly in there. Yeah. A lot of I saw a lot of clips. People are just so fucking pissed, like whether it's Schumer or at them Be like how the fuck do you not do a fucking thing about this? Like what is going on with you guys and you know Chuck Schumer had to cancel his little book tour that he was gonna go

Oh, everyone's gonna be all fucking mean to him. I saw I didn't know that No, I had to cancel his book tour. I would be I'm not on board with anybody You know how hard that is to sell a book when you're a millionaire. No joke out here man Yeah, maybe get your cousin Amy Schumer to help you launch that She's cool and she is cool and I like her the other thing with though with like the Schumer stepping down things like, you know Pelosi has even been like not full-throated defense like like like not really committing to saying he should say she's already Man, there's already members who are just like no this needs to stop They're more and more active like liberal activist groups like, you know calling for him to step down. This is not the way

There's it there was a reporting from one of the excerpts in his book that this whole time He held this belief that the Republicans were going to eventually just get rid of Trump because they were sick of him. Jesus. That's like That's that's been the like underlying sort of teen thinking. Yeah, how the fuck literally ten years ago Yeah, I knew that that was no longer the case Literally a decade behind. But I mean, yeah, it's these old ass people. I do feel like as you age, you don't really learn new things.

Your core gravitational center of reality is still an average of all your experiences. It's not what you learned yesterday. It's an average of all your experiences. It's not what you learned yesterday It's a great it's an average of all your experiences and the these people just can't Shit you learn in ten years means nothing when you're 80 years old. Yeah, exactly. That's one 80th Or that's one eight. Yeah, I don't get that Wait for that weighted. It's not enough. Yeah. Yeah, I don't get that. Not enough shit to him. Wait for that weighted. It's not enough. Yeah. Yeah, man. I keep hearing people being like guys.

Two thousand and eight. We all thought or two thousand and four. We were like, we're screwed. But four years later, we got Obama and it's this thing just swings back and forth. And like the Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson are releasing a book about like how the Democrats can like come back by continuing to be the Democratic Party it seems like and they're just like basing everything around this idea of like it just kind of goes back and forth.

As if this is still 2004. Yeah exactly it feels like it's they don't realize and I I really feel like as bad as it's getting and going to get under Trump Like there's no the Democratic Party is like more unpopular Like they are as long as they continue with this shit where they're still like writing for some past like Bipartisan bullshit like it's just, that's not gonna get more popular. They're going to need to be taken down by somebody who actually is willing to fuckin', you know, upset the norms of the Democratic Party

to the point that it might as well not, no longer be the same party. Yeah, I mean, also. And I just, I don't know. Like, what does just historically reckless take to be like, it's like 2004, you're completely leaving out Citizens United in 2009, 2010. Right, yeah, yeah. Like as if that also isn't a factor

in this like oligarchical fucking take, sure dude. Yeah, yeah. There's still the people who like, but like swallowed at an early age, like their early inception moment that they just, that's locked away deep in their unconscious is like anything that's not ultimately motivated by like profit and like, you know, uh, economic growth and like markets is like unrealistic

and childish, you know? And they just like like can't get, can't get past that. Well, it's cause it's the status quo. They're hooked on that status quo. They're hooked on that status quo. That's that quote. Hey, lastly, on, on some good news. I mean, it's not, so at the word, this story has happiness in the title of it. Yeah. So it must be good. World happiness report is out and the US is dropping like a rock in terms of national levels of happiness. Finland continues to dominate eight years in a row. Mexico has entered the top 10, which I just, I continue to think we should be kind of looking at Mexico for how this whole

like the way forward is what the Mexican government is currently doing. We can report from Brian, the editor has just weighed in on the chat and said, I'm happy. Yeah. In Mexico. Congratulations. It must be nice to be in number 10. We're number 24. Israel is number eight. Israel is number eight. Israel is number eight. Yeah. OK.

But Miles, they they used to be number five. So like it's been hard. It's been hard. OK, that's like so I'm really interested in all. I mean, I think that just speaks to like the perception of what is happening in their own country. And that that's fantastic. Great. So so great and fantastic for them. Have you heard the stupidity of the Finland doesn't exist conspiracy theory?

No. Oh, Jack. OK, let me play this for you. There are people out this. Hold on. This clip is going gonna fucking do your head in okay This is from like one of those like street interview tick tocks like just check Just check this energy out about Finland. Finland is not a real country It is just a guy set up by the country of Japan so that they can do free fishing Free fishing area that Finland off Ppies

But it's just the ocean. Wait, wait, elaborate. What? So Japan wants to have a really good fishing spot that nobody knows about so they created the guys of Finland This woman is in a white cowboy hat You're talking about big fish? Big fish. Finland is the fishing spot? Like they got boats there? Yes, so on maps you'll see the country Finland

But if you really go there, it's not it's just there is no country to The east of Sweden. What about all the Finnish people the Finnish people? They're really Swedish. Have you ever met anybody from Finland? I guess I haven't know have you no I haven't got him Fucking bars. We're fucked dude. The internet is so great. We're what it locked What a place what a time to be alive. I love that. I just love fishing conspiracy It's and I think because all of that is from like it was a joke that then took hold Yeah, and people really began to believe it. It's it's really something else.

It's really something else. Yeah, like the birds aren't real conspiracy. Like 20 years from now, there's going to be a civil war fought between the birds aren't real and the Finland doesn't exist factions of the US population. Just for some context, the ranking is calculated using a single life evaluation question called the Cantrill ladder, which asks people to imagine a ladder with steps numbered from zero at the bottom to 10 at the top, the top being the best possible life

and the bottom being the worst possible one. Okay. Then it asks on which step do you personally feel you stand at this time? Oh, I'm not even standing. I'm laying down with my mouth open as a billionaire shits in my mouth from the top. That's I think how Americans are answering. So I'm down here. They actually, there's a line from the bottom step going around to the back.

Up top there are billionaires shitting off the top of the building into our mouths. And then we are actually asked to thank them. And if we can't thank them, it's actually called domestic terrorism. If we're actually ungrateful, if we give them a thumbs down in response to the shit that just landed on us. Also, I'm looking at these rankings, dude. Finland doesn't fucking exist fool Yeah, so like what are you trying to fucking say right now? This is all fucking this is all Japanese fishing propaganda

They want they want their own cool fishing spot anyway Yeah, it's it's interesting to see how like it's like one of those things like birds aren't real or some people like yeah It's a joke where a guy put that like it was a reddit reddit post about the weirdest shit your parents told you Yeah, and then from there Yeah They want you to believe it's a joke. Yeah, that's how yeah Netflix is a joke actually. Oh man. Now you're talking about my favorite comedy festival All right. Those are some of the things that are trending on this March 20th

We are back tomorrow with the whole last episode of the show Mm-hmm until then it won't you be kind to each other. Why don't you be kind to yourselves get your vaccines? But while you still can get your flu shot, don't do nothing about white supremacy and we will. Prohibition is synonymous with speakeasies, jazz, flappers, and of course, failure.
