That's right, it's me, Miles Gray, a.k.a. Chain Miles Grayson, a.k.a. Daka Khan. Greetings to everybody on this wonderful Tuesday. And we are thrilled to be joined in our third seat by the hilarious comedian and performer, Ever Maynard. Hi, everybody. What's up?

Thank you for having me. Thank you for being here. What is something from your search history that is revealing about who you are as a human being? Okay, well, I was like, what can I share? And honestly, it's just all Google searches of me. You know what I mean? Like, what's the news?

No news. You just go Ever May? Like, what's the news? No news. You just go Ever Maynard hot. Yeah. Question mark Ever Maynard feet. And then Ever Maynard H-A-W-T. I actually have been Google searching a lot of different animals for a riding thing. And I got really obsessed with rattlesnakes. Ooh.

for a riding thing, and I got really obsessed with rattlesnakes. So all of my search histories right now are rattlesnakes and Army, Navy surplus stores online. I get bored at work. Are they connected? No, I thought, I need a new backpack. And then I wanted to learn more about rattlesnakes because I'm from a small town in Texas and now is when they're starting to like, what's up?

Come out. The rattlesnakes come out with a little shoulder action. You're not ever doing a nice little neck shimmy here. Yeah, they're like, I'm ready to kill. Hello. Wait, so where are you from in Texas? I'm from a town called Little River. Okay.

Little River Academy. We're from the academy side, but it's two tiny towns put together. Gotcha. So we can have like a school district. What's the closest big city? I guess the closest big city, if you know it, is Temple. It's right off of I-35. But if you don't know that, it would be right between Waco and Austin.

Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've heard of Waco. Austin? No, not so much. I know. Austin is a cool name, yeah, yeah. I've heard of Waco. Austin? No, not so much. I know. Austin is, I'm not up enough. Austin's just a cool name for a young man.

That's my cousin's name. Shout out to Austin. Shout out. Oh, is there anything cool about rattlesnakes we should know that you learned? What's a cool, can you drop some science on us? If they weren't like the devil spawn enough. Okay. They, the mother snakes, most snakes just like lay eggs and then they hatch

and when female snakes get pregnant they keep their eggs in them and then they give live birth to baby rattlesnakes

oh shit and I'm terrified of rattlesnakes so that idea is just like wait so they give live birth like instead of

just hatching so they just hatch internally and then they're like wow how many do you know how many snakes can come out of a hole? I stopped reading at that point because I was afraid.

Because in my mind it's like a thousand. Well, then I found on YouTube. Okay, thank you. Perfect. This is what I wanted to know. So now they do have dens, like rattlesnake dens. And this dude put a GoPro on a hockey stick and walked out to this field. And all of a sudden you just hear this insane like, and you're like what is that and then he gets to it and like this he's holding this hockey stick

over this like pit viper nest and they're just like oh lunging at the camera are they just in like a hole or no it's just yeah it's kind of like a pit it's kind of like there's like a drop off like looks like somebody dug a hole and right like, I'm done digging. Jack is not familiar with the concept of a pit. Yeah. Okay. So it's like just, you know, so like a big hole,

big man hole. All right. A ground hole. They spawn like that and they hang out. Oh God. I love that. That guy was like, Hey,

finally got used for this old hockey stick. Take that fucking pit viper. Yeah. This doesn't seem dangerous at all. Rattlesnakes are at least polite. They like a they let you know yeah they're just like yeah you're about to die well okay oh hold on okay wait a second now um they're evolving where they either don't have rattles or they won't rattle because it's a survival instinct because when they rattle then they get killed yeah but that's always has to have been the case when like it's a survival instinct. Because when they rattle, then they get killed, right?

Yeah, but that always has to have been the case. It's not like we just developed ears. Well, now they're getting smarter. Right. Or maybe they were just like- Or we're getting more hockey sticks. Right. That's true.

Just beating the shit out of them. It's like, what is it, Casey from the Ninja Turtles? Yeah, exactly. Casey Jones. Yeah. Get these snakes out of here. Fucking snakes. Get them out.

Ever, what's something you think is underrated? I think underrated hot dogs. Okay. Oh, hell yeah. Okay, go on. I think hot dogs are a little underrated. Mainly, I don't know if you call them dirty dogs out here, but the street vendor hot dogs. Danger dogs?

Yeah, yeah. Danger dogs are totally- Second day in a row we brought up danger dogs. Wow. Yeah. It's a blessing. It day in a row we brought up danger dogs. Wow. Yeah. It's a blessing. It is. Okay, so you're onto something.

I think that danger dogs are underrated, number one, because when you're out and you're drunk and you're hungry and it's there, it's always good. Yeah. I've never had a bad danger dog. I've actually dropped a danger dog in downtown LA, picked it up and ate it. Oh, you legend. Do you have mutant powers? Yeah. Now, was it wrapped in paper?

No. And was it wrapped in a bun? No. You dropped the naked hot dog on the ground? It's not my proudest moment. Did you wipe it off? I was drunk. No, I don't know.

Blew it off to... Right. Okay, it's good. I just ate it and then... I guess it's just like gravel. It was on the street. It's just like gravel and human urine That's why my immunity is so strong Very strong constitution

Alright let's hear the overrated Okay number one overrated thing Is Trader Joe's I'm not a Trader Joe's fan Their parking lot, it's aggressive Okay I know which one you're talking about Yes but every single This is funny because every person on the show who has a gripe about Trader Joe's it's always stemmed from the Trader Joe's in Silver Lake but not to say

that I also don't fuck with Trader Joe's because of the parking lot and there's too many people but go on I'm sorry yeah and the parking lot in Burbank and then when I lived in Chicago all the Trader Joe's had tiny parking lots there and then it feels so cramped and it's like organized in an unorganized way. And then everyone's like, and I'm just like, get out of my fucking way. What's the one in Manhattan that's like in a basement and basically to shop in it, you just get in line before shopping and you just pick up the shit you need on the way because it's so packed in there that the only way to shop is to do it while you're in line to check out. Too much.

Right. I think, oh, I can't handle it. I don't think their fruit is that good, and their flowers don't smell good. The disorganization thing is interesting because- Oh, my God. Hold on. Hold on. Jack, we might have to edit that out.

Actually, I agree. Bring it on. I'm not going to back down. I'm with you. Oh, shit. It's getting hot in here. They have good frozen treats. They have good frozen things to kind of stow away.

In their freezer case? Frozen apps. Yeah. But in terms of their fresh stuff, it's not very fresh. And I agree. The organization is just all over the place. I've read a bunch of stuff on how grocery stores are organized. And it's very meticulous.

And you'll notice that most of the time you enter through the produce. And then towards all the way to the back is milk and like they're designed so that you circulate in a very specific direction because they know that like nine humans out of ten prefer to circulate right like it's basically counterclockwise we prefer counterclockwise but then Whole Foods started doing it the opposite way to like prove that they were like new and hip and like but then Tr Foods started doing it the opposite way to prove that they were new and hip. But then Trader Joe's is just a fucking... It's chaos.

It's just chaos in there. They just put it anywhere. You have to learn it all by yourself. It's crazy. Sometimes you got cheese over here, but then you got another cheese over there. Right. I don't think so.

Yeah, and they're like, where's your aloe juice? They're like, next to the flowers. It's not with the other juices? Right. No, no, no. Good point, Joe. Yeah. I feel like, isn't Tr and it's not with the other juices. Right. No, no, no, no. Good point, Joe. Yeah. I feel like, isn't Trader Joe's owned by the same people that own Aldi?

Have you guys heard about this? It's a German company, right? Yeah, yeah. I'm wondering if they did some like fucked up. Now, this could be a deep conspiracy that I am happy to start, actually. Human experimentation. Myth bust this. Okay, here we go. Let's do it. Really, I want to read it. I'm putting my thinking cap on. Human experimentation? Myth bust this. Okay, here we go.

Let's do it. Really, I want to read it. I'm putting my thinking cap on. Okay. I'm tying it on. So, in World War II, like Hitler's Germany. Oh, shit. We're going deep, baby.

Yo, play that conspiracy theory music. Okay, play it right now. Play it loud. Hitler took the resonance from the A string which like for a long long time used to be i think 4 30 i'll have to look it up but um he changed it because it fucks when we hear it it fucks up our mind a little it's like um that the original like a string is like the same hertz as the universe and like um all of the classic composers use this type of hertz and then hitler got it and he changed it and he realized that it made the mind kind of

disobey and like fight against it and i'm wondering if the same people who started trader joe's did some shit like this oh wow wait so you're saying hit Hitler discovered that if you play like an A, like the note? If you change the hertz, if you change the frequency on it, and it's a subtle thing, but then it starts like, what is the word I'm looking for? Human- Dissonance? Dissonance. Maybe that's it.

But it starts us to go down like a negative path. Okay, this article is about the legendary music frequency of 432 hertz, which supposedly resonates with the universe and all living things, but in a scientific way. Wait, so where does Hitler come in? So he changed it. Like, it's like a subversive thing. All right. Anyways, we're going too far down. We're going too deep down this rabbit hole.

But I do agree. Thank you for getting us back on track. All right. Oh, well, that's interesting. Okay, so they said that they switched it from 432 hertz to 440 hertz with the intention of making people feel bad. Yeah. By making people feel in a certain way, the Nazi state would turn them into prisoners of a cheerless mindset. Yes.

Cursing them to live a morbid life of sad consciousness. Yeah. Which there is. Traitor Joes, baby. I'm never happy in that store. frequency that you immediately feel dread and sometimes it vibrates in a way that your eyes start seeing figures like off to the side. So I don't know. I think it's not going to be the first time I've said this on this show.

I think Hitler was on to something. Oh boy. Oh boy. HR is going to stop you right there. Okay. What else is overrated? I think the BuzzFeed Facebook YouTube tutorials of like how to, like when they do like cheap crafts.

And you're like, this is a life hack. I hate all life hack videos. Yeah, fuck life hacks. Let me learn it myself. Right, right. Wear your hoodie backwards, fill it with popcorn and just eat face first like it's a feeding bag. Was that a dumbass hack?

No, it's not. That's the actual life hack that BuzzFeed suggested at one point. It was like, I'm on a trough out of your hoodie? Out of your hoodie, yeah.

Get the fuck out of here. And just like showed somebody at a movie theater with a hoodie filled with popcorn. Right, alone. They show him going and that person going home and dying alone.

Because you know how you hate having to use your hands when you're eating popcorn? Like, now you can just dip your face into the buttery, greasy popcorn. I love the grease.

Yeah, I love having a greasy face. Yeah, I like getting it all over my face. I feel mad about myself. Yeah, it's great because afterwards, yeah, you put the hood on and it just naturally moisturizes your head with all the residual grease. Such a good idea. What a life hack. All right, what's a myth?

What's something that you know to be false that most people most people think is true okay so in our hometown i was thinking about myths and like whatever it is in the back of our elementary school and this is like a really tiny town i think there's like 1200 people now but it was like smaller back in the day so and it's really out in the middle of nowhere it's not like there's a big city outside of a big city um there used to be this field and it had like a grove of trees actually right next to the little river. And at like recess and like school, you could just kind of like run around and like play in these fields. But then our teachers was like, don't go back there. That's where the goat man lives.

And like that became this huge like local myth and like legend like growing up that there was like this evil goat man. And by goat man, we mean like a humanoid? Half goat, like a demon. Oh, disgusting. So everybody was like always afraid. And I lived down the street from the school. So like I used to play there like after school and at night. And then I would be like the goat man's watching.

Oh, shit. But in hindsight, I think it was just a man doing meth. You know? Right. Wait, was there some physical presence? There was always like there's a shed back there oh right

so maybe your teacher was just kindly trying to keep you away from someone who might be struggling with drug abuse and not put the

children at risk hey stay away from the goat man you know how he gets off his goat feed right yeah yeah that's actually true like goats are always

like eating like just weird shit is that true or is that like that's true right no that's true they can eat like tin can just any weird shit and like is that true or is that like that's true right no that's true yeah they can eat like tin can garbage yeah like meth makes you want to like chew on everything so wow yeah okay speaking from experience oh yeah yeah for sure hey put your chewing can down but like a lot a lot of uh the behavior that like meth users exhibit just is really creepy, like possessed, like haunted behavior,

like walking around in circles and then like digging holes in the yard and shit. Well, yeah, I mean, once you enter like meth-induced psychosis, yeah, that will happen to you. It's really like a scene from a horror movie. So yeah, maybe all of our myths and like boogeymen growing up. It sounded like you had an upbringing where they were talking about goat men too.

No. I think every town's got a goat man. We had windowless vans driving around. I mean, perfect place to bake meth. My school was by a shopping mall and sometimes old people would just kind of hang by the perimeter to watch

people practice sports. That was the weird thing. Oh, like just people watching children play? Yeah, one time there was a PE teacher we had and we never knew what happened to him, Mr. Spector, and he vanished, and we didn't know what happened. Then one day, eighth grade before we graduated our homecoming game, he was homeless, and he was at the perimeter of the fence watching us play our homecoming game.

What happened to him? He passed away years later, it turned out. But why was he homeless? We don't know. Wow. I think he was struggling with alcoholism, and that's why he lost his job and then ended up on the street. And it was crazy because at the time we're like, no, no one knows what happened to him.

And then he showed up. And we saw him through the thing. We're like, yo, is that Mr. Spector? So, yeah. And then everyone is still like, we don't know what happened to him. I think to make this more broadly applicable, I do think a lot of the times in spooky situations or spooky disappearances or whatever it is the spooky dues man they're the worst uh i think a lot of the time it's like

substance abuse it was like oh he disappeared because he was you know as a kid yeah with alcohol that was like the easy way to explain stuff right kids like oh we don't know yeah that's the world guys also like a lot of, when you talk to police about, like, the craziest shit they've ever seen and stuff, it's stuff that when it's described to you, it's like, man, that's horrifying. Like, what a crazy violent thing. But then they're like, no, they were just drunk. Like, they were really drunk people who made, like, terrible decisions. I bet I could do something like that. Yeah.

Like flip a car. Right. Drunk enough? Yeah. Here we go. Although I've yet to see that video. Shame on those officers that told us PCp gave you superhuman strength like that because i remember my fucking dare officer officer charles said a guy threw a dumpster at him at jack of the box

what yeah and i was like bruh tell me why i look on youtube every fucking week looking for someone dusted just throwing a car or something like that. I've not seen anything of like, you know, because in D.A.R.E. class, they would act like people got on like X-Men level strength. I think D.A.R.E. was secretly the PCP lobby because like they... Trying to glamorize PCP. Trying to glamorize PCP. I'd be like, yo, we got a game today. Because all the stories they made up about other drugs were like, you know,

smoking weed gives you boobs and like... Oh, that's what they pushed into yours? Yeah, that's what they told us. They didn't even bother in mind. They were like, smoking weed is cool. We can't argue with that. But PCP, don't fuck around. No, but then PCP gives you superpowers was essentially the message that I heard.

Wow. All right. Let's get into the stories of the day. Great. We're trying to take a look at what people are thinking and talking about today. And we did want to bring up something that happened over the weekend, which I think a lot of our hopes for the upcoming elections were dashed, so to speak. What happened, Miles? So, gosh, our great hope for a new future of America, a new vision of a more inclusive America, Stacy Dash from Clueless.

She was running for California's 44th congressional district. And on Friday, she announced that she will be actually withdrawing from the race because she didn't realize how bad of a look it was for her, I guess. was for her i guess uh so she was running in a district that like covers parts of like compton watts san pedro north long beach uh and is a solidly democratic area and as we know uh miss stacy dash is a very problematic uh woman of color who basically i don't know if she's she's definitely fully fucked up off the fox news kool-aid uh and you know she said stuff like why do we need black history month like why do we need Black History Month? Like, why do we need BET? That's racist.

Like, that's sort of like her ideological viewpoint. And yeah, part of it was sort of like, oh, you know, I realized that this race would be a heavy burden on my family and blah, blah, blah. Like, it was just a way to try and like rage quit without looking like you're, you just realized it was an unwinnable thing and you didn't want to take L's repeatedly until November.

So, you know, shout out to you. You tried, but we know you were never going to win anyway. So I hope this gave you enough notoriety for whatever your real goal was, whether that was like to be like put yourself in the shop window to get back on TV or whatever, be a pundit. I don't know, but see you later. That's what Kid Rock did. I know. Yeah. Yeah.

These people who just think all you need is fame to succeed. You need fame and just like a crippling, weird personality disorder that just perfectly fits into our political and media landscape, like our president. Yeah. The one quote there that sticks out,

she's like, I believe that the overall bitterness surrounding our political process, participating in the rigors of campaigning, and holding elected office would be detrimental to the health and well-being of my family. She didn't write that. Yeah, of course not. But what do you think? You trying to be a person of color and like a Trumpist in Long Beach, Watts?

Right. Yeah, that was always going to be tough. I don't know where you thought you were running and what platform you were on. I feel bad saying she didn't write that, but she might have written that. Yeah, that was always going to be tough. I don't know where you thought you were running and what platform you were on. I feel bad saying she didn't write that, but she might have written that. I always think that with these press releases, somebody else writes it. She's definitely not this eloquent when she's like ripping

down Obamacare and just saying like Obama is a whatever. Yeah, she was a big Obama basher. Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt. I was just going to say, I think a lot of people underestimate the fact that Trump spent, so he had that ridiculous run for presidency in 2012, I think, where it didn't go anywhere. And then he went on his like birther shit. But he spent those intervening years just like nonstop ingesting talk radio.

And so so that he had the crazy, you know, right wing ideas down to like his instincts. So he was like, you know, I think it's important to keep in mind that he is a badly damaged person. And that Obama speech where he made fun of him and dropped the mic gave him just motivation. He is just so hollow on the inside. Whereas all these other famous people like Stacey Dash, Kid Rock, they're famous

and they haven't had to work hard for many years, I'm sure. I don't know. Kid Rock grew up upper middle class. Right. What? Kid Rock? Yeah, that's like the big myth about tennis courts. sure they're they're just like saying i mean kid rock grew up like upper middle class right what yeah kid rock yeah that's like the big myth my kid okay now why didn't you guys bring this up right kid rock had a tennis court stacy dash is not struggling she's looked like she's 22 for 70 years now right i think generally

the response to fame is that you stop developing as a human being at that point. And you just like this is why I think so many celebrities don't know how technology works, because they just have assistants who answer all their emails for them and stuff. fucking wound where his soul should be, you know, was nonstop staying up all night ingesting talk radio and Fox News and everything just with a single mindedness of purpose of I'm going to run for president. Yeah. While y'all were out partying, I was in the lab putting in work. Right. Exactly.

I was studying this right wing bullshit. Yeah. He's got Eminem blaring. Right. He got a gray hoodie on his shit. Right. Speed reading mind comp. Like, I can't even read.

The decedents. But don't underestimate how damaged he is. Change that hertz from 432 to 440. Trying to get triggered. All right. Let's take a quick break and we'll be right back. I've been thinking about you. Take a quick break and we'll be right back. do one session 24 hours BPM 110 120 she's terrified should we wake her up absolutely not what was that you didn't figure it out I think I need to hear you say it that was live audio of a woman's nightmare this machine is approved and?

And we were just talking about comparative burger chains. Yeah, because Texas, obviously, everyone has Whataburger Pride.

Whataburger. Whataburger. Everyone rides for Whataburger. Water. Whataburger. I remember the first time I was like, is it water? Water burger. Made of water.

Don't know. Miles, you, you ride for in and out. I mean, in and out is the best drive through hamburger in LA. Yeah. That's all.

Who here is riding for BK? Nobody anymore, man. Nobody anymore. You see Nick's stuff. He's in there with the crown on right now. He's like, taking it off like, oh, shit. He's like, well, you can't have it your way.

I think the one thing I will say is that fast food on the West Coast is just better. Like if you go to a McDonald's on the East Coast versus a McDonald's on the West Coast, the burgers and like all the food is just better on the West Coast. Really? Yeah. He would know he's a drifter. Yeah, I am a drifter. I love regional fast food.

I like Runza. They got that out in Nebraska or Lion's Choice. I've had that in Missouri. How do you know all of this? Because I get around and I- You're a drifter too. I get the munchies very frequently and I'm like, yo, what do you guys eat?

For no reason. Yeah, for no reason. Just sometimes I just drift out there. I get it. But anyway. Miles was a lobbyist. I digest. Miles has a miles has a dark period and there was a very dark period yes political operative uh all right let's talk about uh the president's obsession of the day du jour uh who's du jour oh oh that sounds good i think all right yes uh so he he seems to be obsessed

with jeff bezos right now we talked a little bit about him coming after Amazon instead of Facebook on last week's show. Yeah. But yeah. What's going on here? I mean, look, he has been having it out like since Friday or Thursday. He was kind of making sense when he's like, we got to look into Amazon, man. Like, I think they're getting too powerful or whatever. And people were like, did he just like suddenly mistakenly fall into like a good point here uh but then over time

like it started getting crazier then he was talking about like you know the post office getting bamboozled by amazon doing all these deliveries etc etc and it was just kind of a weird thing like since march 28th because of all the Twitter bullshit, like around $60 billion in market value has been lost for Amazon. And so when you look at it, yes, okay, if you take point by point, is Amazon getting pretty big? I think that's worth looking into and looking around and see maybe y'all got a lot going on and are probably – we need to do something about that. Yes. Sure. They probably need to be regulated.

Yeah, valid point. Regulator They probably need to be regulated. Yeah. Valid point. Regulators. Regulators. Mount up. And then so on to the next one. The post office. Okay. Are they really getting fucked?

Well, that's not true. I mean, he's acting like they're running a deficit. Like it's an actual profitable relationship because legally, like I don't think the post office can make deals with companies unless it's a profit. They're going to enter a relationship with a company and then take a hit. So that's just an outright lie that the post office is like losing money. Like it's a profitable thing. So when you take all of that in and you look around, you're kind of like, okay, what's going on? Because now Trump's like, well, how do we get Bezos? Like there's been reporting about how he's, you know, asking people, his aides,

like, how can I fuck with him? Like fuck with his money. And if you think about it,'s asking people, his aides, how can I fuck with him and fuck with his money? And if you think about it, you're like, wait a second. He owns the Washington Post. Jeff Bezos does? That's probably why he wants to fuck with him because the Washington Post has been doing very good reporting. They're not always flawless, but they've been pretty good. And they've been regularly handing the President L's,

so I think that's why he's in his feelings now. And he's like, fuck. And released the Access Hollywood tape. Yeah. And he's also trying to be like, you know, like, well, I heard the Pentagon's doing a cloud computing deal with Amazon. How can we tank that? That's like a multi-billion dollar deal. And again, this is just all because I think Trump has convinced himself that somehow Jeff Bezos is in the editorial offices.

His deep state. Yeah. Of the Washington Post being like, you know, run this story, just make this thing up. And, you know, the Post and Bezos have explicitly been like, yo, I have nothing to do with editorial decisions in there. Like the one thing I weighed in on, I think was like a tagline, like a slogan for the paper. But other than that, that's been it.

And it's been such a weird tantrum that even like business people on fox are like yo yo cool out b like this this is causing like massive fluctuations in the stock market just because yeah like you don't realize as president you can say some spicy shit and it affects everybody's portfolio and it's funny to hear people on fox be like i wouldn't name companies explicitly but so you know yeah i think i heard sean hannity specifically say yo cool out b yeah unless that was episode yeah he's like yeah today's message to the president cool out b the president is so uh that his policy is so determined by his whims you know like he struck down that centered right he's ego-centered and he struck down that. He's ego-centered. Right. He's ego-centered and he struck down that consolidation.

Merger, yeah. Merger because it involved CNN. I mean, some people speculated it was maybe because of that. Now, you know, he hates Bezos for the Washington Post thing. Also, let's be honest. It's because he's the richest man in the world. Yeah. Trump has always passed himself off.

Richest man in the history of the world. Right. And Trump has always passed himself off as the richest man in the history of the world. Right. And Trump has always passed himself off like that's his image. I'm the rich guy. I'm the richest guy in the world. Not anymore. He's the cartoon. Bezos could fuck with him and be like, bro, I could buy you. Do you want me to? I can. I can. I can help

you out. Well, the funny thing, too, was like Preet Bharara, he tweeted something. He's like, yo, what if Bezos just bought Twitter and fucking closed Trump's account to be petty? Because like Bezos could easily buy Twitter for nothing, you know, for being the richest man on earth. And it's just a funny point. It's like, yo, he could get real petty with you because he has like shmoney. Do you think he like work works or he's just like. I'm sure to a certain point he did.

And then I think I imagine it's like a snowball effect, right? Yeah. Oh, Bezos is probably. What's he up to? Google image him. Yeah. I bet he doesn't sleep at all and just stays up worrying about, you know, every last penny in his.

I don't think you get to be that way while being mentally balanced. I mean, these photos of him just looking jacked in like a down vest, like an aviator's on, like he's about to go fucking murder some kind of socialist. What do you mean I'll fuck with capitalism? I thought he for sure was a movie extra in that photo. I was like, who's this guy? And then I was like, oh, that's the owner of Amazon. He looks like, what's Homeboy's name? Who's doing the State Farm commercials?

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.k simmons yeah he looks like he's doing a version of jk simmons swag but yeah so you know he's in his feelings the richest man in the world owns a paper that regularly shames him so yeah why not try and do all kinds of weird shit as president like ask the post office to renegotiate deals with companies like, come on, bro. Yeah. And I mean, companies know that Trump is determined by, you know, whims and by, you know, his personal allegiances and how he's feeling at any given moment. Did you just discover something interesting about Jeff Bezos? Couple of things.

He's a robot. He's George Strait's cousin. Really? Like second cousin or like first pop it up here but they did lose nine point eight six billion on regulation fears but we got to do this because I also heard that George straight was actually a marketing major for like really a PR guy king of country George is Jeff Bezos's cousin yeah a. What the fuck? Maybe that's a myth we should have busted. It makes a lot of sense

when you're thinking about it. Yeah, right? No, I have no idea. I mean, in a way. I actually don't know enough about George Strait to know. Bezos spent 10 hot summers on his grandfather's cattle ranch

in Cotulla, Texas, and his cousin is country singer George Strait. Damn. Look at that. So is Bezos, is he a Texan? Well, his grandfather is.

Definitely doesn't have a Texan vibe. He was born in Albuquerque, New Mexico. He seems like he's more from outer space. Oh, he had a cameo in Star Trek, so he was from outer space. Peep that. We should have busted that George Strait myth. I know. Well, hey, look, this is something we might have to look into.

Yeah. Just going back to the subject of the president's whims determining policy, I think companies are onto this, which is why people are speculating that that whole Sinclair thing we covered yesterday, the supercut everybody saw of all the different local news channels delivering the same message about fake news that was basically a beat for beat reconstruction of the president's talking points. People suspect that they are doing that because they are trying to purchase a bunch more channels from Tribune Media. Right. And they want to make sure that that gets approved by the president.

And so they're kissing his ass by just basically regurgitating his talking points. Right, right, right. While also keeping it apolitical enough that it's not. Yeah, it's just vague enough. Yeah, just vague enough. You could argue that, no, that was totally apolitical, actually, that statement. Yeah, but that story and also the caravan story, which just stays in the headlines. America's best-selling minivan, Dodge Caravan.

Exactly. Trump is keeping the story about the caravan of migrants from central america coming up through mexico in the headlines and now he's claiming he's going to use the military to protect our border just fucking you know use some he's gatling guns what the fuck is he gonna do for what nine people yeah so it's it's a perfect news story for him because it has like a potent image that's like it's almost like they're being yeah like america's being invaded right but they're they're but he's he's like picturing it like the fucking mad max group of cars like where the immigrants are like there's a dude that's like yeah or when you go to the

drudge report right now their top story is Trump sending military to border, caravan vows march, and they have a big picture that looks like it could be like a zombie horde. It's the backs of all these people's heads. It's World War Z. Right, it's World War Z is how they're trying to portray it. They're asylum seekers. Right, and a couple pieces of context. This has happened, we talked about this yesterday, but it's worth emphasizing. This has happened annually for the past couple of years. And when it has happened in the past, it did not become making as seeking. Right. So it's a group. They're not like carrying banners. Right.

It's a group of about 1,200 people, most of them Hondurans, but they're mostly planning on stopping short of the U.S. border. And most of them are staying in different Mexican cities. And only about 200 of them are going to continue on to the U.S. border. So we're talking about a group of 200 people who are coming to the U.S. border. So we're talking about a group of 200 people who are coming to the U.S. border, which is about the same number that have come in years past. And the border security has had no problem handling them. Yeah, because these people are there to seek asylum and go through the process of being asylum seekers. They're not going to be like show up at the border and be like, all right,

we're going to hop the fence right here. Right, exactly. Which is the narrative that he's trying to create. They don't overwhelm the border security. We don't need like military weaponry there. The big issue in the past has been that they have detained these asylum seekers while they evaluated each one of their cases. And they do evaluate the shit out of their cases. each one of their cases and they do evaluate the shit out of their cases. I was reading a story from the San Diego Tribune that was saying that it was June, so like months after they had crossed the border and most of the people were still being detained.

And like these are families of people still being detained because they're still determining whether or not they want to grant them asylum. So that's something we should be talking about is whether they should be detained the whole time and, you know, how they're being treated. But the issue is not whether or not like we're going to be able to handle them at the border, nor are they, nor is their plan to like overwhelm the US border defenses but this just kind of brings up a bigger thing that keeps coming up in my mind recently the debate surrounding news I feel like hasn't evolved with the

world we now live in I think we still talk about stories and like whether they're true or false, like the Sinclair thing. They were like, a lot of people have bias and tell these fake stories just based on their bias. And so I've talked before about how 9-11, a big problem with our ability to stop the September 11th attacks and in the aftermath of the September 11th attacks. And in the aftermath of the September 11th attacks was our ability to basically sort through all the data that we had. Like during the Cold War,

intelligence gathering was a big thing. It was just like you got these few scraps from your Russian spies, and then like you put them together and do a coherent picture. And suddenly with the advent of like information technology, we had just fire hoses of information coming at us and we didn't know how to sort through all that information. And that made it so that we didn't get to the 9-11 attackers before it happened because we knew about that. Like that was a story you heard in the aftermath.

Like how do we knew about these people, but we didn't stop them? It was because they were one of thousands of things we knew about. And I feel like the same thing is happening with how we address news. We have just all this news coming at us now. And the question is not whether some of it is false or whether some of it is true all the time, but rather like what we choose to focus on. And like this story about the border caravan, you know, people are focusing on this like it is this unprecedented thing. And it's something that's happened every year. And yes, it's happening.

And yet, like they're not making the story up. But by focusing on it, they're misleading you. It's basically... Well, and it's a story that is like, we now have a president where this kind of story is politically advantageous to the president because he can weaponize it and distort it to evoke like this idea that like, if it's, you know, other countries, they have refugees arriving on boats and they're like oh people are just crashing the shores and trying to get in our country or or storming the gates of

our borders and things like that and this is like kind of that perfect imagery that he needs and then he can like pump his own dick up and be like oh you know i told mexico to break up the caravans and they did because i told them and now we'll have the military there to fucking shoot people who are seeking political asylum like what the fuck are you going on about? Right. It's very weird. And I think another reason, too, is we also don't actually we just focus on what is happening and not focusing on what is the root cause. Right.

So, like, if it's these migrants, why aren't you doing some more stories about Honduras and what it is these people are trying to escape? and what it is these people are trying to escape. Because that might resonate or that might at least help people understand the world we live in because everything isn't just what happened or what might happen this season on the New Jersey shore, which I am very much interested in. But I also want to know why people are moving and what the situations are trying to escape. And I think that's another way our media does betray us or is a disservice is by not actually focusing on like, oh, well, why is this happening? Not just it is happening. Yeah. Just being like, oh, and that's fucked up.

And also overarching, like we need to look at statistics, like just because the local news reports a crime doesn't mean that there aren't fewer crimes happening. Like crime is at an all time low. But the way that people talk on Fox News and just looking at your local news, you would never suspect that crime is at an all-time low. No way. But it's at an all-time low, and it has been going down for years because of a number of different factors that people never mention, and they don't mention those overall statistical trends because it's more interesting and just more consumable to tell the bite-sized stories of the crimes.

Right. I feel like we've lost a lot of empathy in this nation. Right. And there's no focus on mental health. I think like a lot of these like news channels, they always, yeah, I agree. Like it sensationalizes crime, but some people just need like mental health services. Right. And instead of just being like,

this is a crazy man. Like, hey, wait. There's someone who the system failed them. Wait a second, you know? Yeah. Yeah. Anchorman 2 brings that up,

you know? Sensationalizing the news. Yeah. All of this is basically. Oh, yeah, mental health. Yeah, I was like, what? There was that scene?

Pretty deep. Oh, I guess, yeah. When Kanye came out. I mean, everything we're saying is basically summarizing the points made in Anchorman 2. Yeah, don't give away the secret to our show, right? But our philosophical North Star is Anchorman 2. Anchorman 2. Little known fact.

But yeah, I think it's another reason, too, that we never really give people context. We expect people to already know, or we have to explain to them. Especially when you think about how segregation works in this country a lot of people just go oh like an unarmed black person was shot or whatever and not many people understand how through like legal segregation through like housing initiatives in this country and the highways yeah exactly we were redlining we were making sure and again we talked about this yesterday, but redlining was the practice of identifying neighborhoods that were undesirable or where people would not get loans and things basically essentially to just say, keep black people in these sections or keep minorities in these neighborhoods. And if they try and get out,

just deny them a loan or give it at such a rate that it's not really, it's an untenable situation for them. Districting, all of that. Yeah, exactly. And what people don't realize is that, like, especially like as a lot of black people migrated to the north out of the south in the early 20th century for like, you know, industrial centers, like my grandparents did, they moved to Chicago from the south. Oh, Chicago's the Dan Ryan.

Right. Holy shit. And in those neighborhoods, the way they were dealing with this influx of people of color was, you know, they just created these very distinct neighborhoods that they segregated people. And the segregation is much more intense. Like you'd think, oh, in the south, it must be crazy. No, it's actually like the northeast and shit. And in the Midwest, that's where it's the most pronounced.

This American Life did a undercover story where they sent people- They're always going undercover. They sent people to inquire about apartments in New York City. And it was a white couple and then a black couple. And they would go and the black couple had better credit, better, all the things that the landlord was supposed to be looking for, and they would be turned away, and the white couple would be shown the apartment and basically courted to go there. And so that's the way that these things are enforced. It's like sort of a soft form of segregation, or like an invisible form of segregation. It's not soft in the sense that it's easy to get around.

Well, and people don't realize they're like, oh, those people are just poor and that's why they live there. It's like, no, that area is designed to keep people in there and not coming into other areas. Because whether it's like blockbusting practices where like black people would begin to move into white places and those realtors would hire black people to create this illusion of like a black takeover. And like being like, hey, you probably want like to a white family. Hey, you probably want to sell your home. Right. And then jack up the price for a black family to buy that home. Also, you also think about how schools and services get funded.

A lot of it's from property taxes too. So if you're in the hood, there's not a lot of tax revenue being generated. So that means the schools are underfunded. That means the schools get more segregated. And again, we just want to act like it's all these other things. Again, I think a lot of the times when we present stories, people don't fully understand the context of even how we get to the situation. And like one other point I want to bring up is that like one theory that is going around is that obviously not a theory, but, you know, a lot of people are sort of like, why does, you know, black white segregation have any kind of bearing or influence on fatal police shootings? What's that segregated black communities are just more heavily policed than others. And in a study from 2013 showed that in Milwaukee and Wisconsin

has the highest sort of racism racial index. It's a state racism index where it basically takes, it looks at things like residential segregation, disparities in educational attainment, employment status, economic status, incarceration status. And they score each of these. Wisconsin tops the list for all of these, when they factor all these things in. And when they looked at Milwaukee specifically, the state's largest city, half of black men between the ages of 30 and 40 have been in jail at some point in their lives. And the city's zip code, 532066 is 95% black and has the highest incarceration rate like anything in any county there.

So basically what happens is the more segregated a place becomes, you're only underlining people's biases that are fed by the news where if you think, oh, you're only showing news about people of color or like the violence being bad

in these neighborhoods, then immediately the police are going to be like, oh, well now I'm in a black neighborhood. I'm not in, oh, I deal with police are going to be like, oh, well, now I'm in a black neighborhood. I'm not in, oh, I deal with regular people who might not have to get shot. I'm immediately on the defense because now I'm in this crazy thing. And all these subtle factors all play into sort of how we relate to the world.

And yeah, I think it's a very important thing for people to kind of realize all of these stories have much more complex context. I feel like that's really, like I lived in Chicago for about 10 years before I moved out here. And like Rahm Emanuel is just systematically shutting down schools like in impoverished neighborhoods. And then I just pulled it up like Chicago closes more schools in black neighborhoods. Chicago students add budget cuts.

It's all of this stuff. And then there are these like some of my friends were teachers and I don't know if this is true or not, but they were telling me that Rahm had this like initiative of like, look, we're building new schools and new charter schools. But these schools were empty because he was adding them in neighborhoods that didn't need them or like prominent neighborhoods where like neighborhoods on like the west side or even the south side and some up in the north, like an uptown where you really needed it. They weren't getting them. Right. He was just shutting them down. Yeah.

I mean, and in Chicago, like a story that I hadn't really connected to the current spate of violence and murder was that they shut the Cabrini Green housing project down like a number of years ago. And that was a high crime area. a number of years ago, and that was a high crime area, but they basically turned it into a high-income living area and didn't give all the poor people who had lived there before a place to go. So that created just a horrible... Displaced people.

Yeah. So I don't know. We're kind of all over the map, but I do just want to... We're talking about Jeff Bezos. If you're just listening in, Jeff Bezos is a problem. Jeff Bezos, hot. He started this whole thing. But I do think, you know, it's important to keep in mind that our role as news consumers

is not just to look at individual stories and determine, you know, whether they're true or not, but to actually find the context and you know the redlining story is a story that i just learned about on that this american life episode like four or five years ago right and i couldn't fucking believe that i couldn't fucking believe that i hadn't been told that that's like the most important story of the 20th century when it comes to like how American life is lived in the current world. And it puts all these different things in perspective, but it's not talked about. And this new generation has the ability to find those important stories and tell those important stories. I've seen a lot of people, a lot of zeitgangers out there doing the good work and telling people about the British coal gas study in the context of the gun conversation. And redlining is another one of those stories that is – it's like a keystone. It's one of those things that –

We've got to get Nicole Hannah-Jones on this show. Right. We really do. Got to get Nicole. She's amazing. But yeah, again, I think we definitely do people a disservice, not like we as a show, but just at the people, like journalists, by not at least telling people why. Like, sure, there's a caravan, right?

But also explain to people why there's this caravan. To celebrate. Yeah, right. To celebrate. They're just big fans of Dodge. It's actually being paid for by Chrysler. Check out this caravan, huh? Yeah, but they're running from something. They need help from something. And it's weird because, again, you know, there was like this Netflix show we brought up called Go Back to Where You Came From. It's like an Australian reality show where a lot of like sort of anti-immigrant xenophobic people had to actually understand where refugees were coming from and what they were escaping. And many people, oh, it started to click for them because, you know, when you're that in proximity of truth, like you can't deny that.

And then you instantly like, oh, shit. OK, I get it. There were also like stories about when ICE was coming into town, like especially like small Texas towns. Like it was like a meat manufacturing town. That's like a slaughterhouse town. And people they had worked with for years, decades, all of a sudden gone. And then the town locals were like,

oh my God, where did this person go? He was deported? No, they're only supposed to do the bad guys. And not realizing like this is going to affect everything and people you know and people you care about right it's like that context of like we're keeping the wall up to keep the bad ones out well it's easy to say that in the middle america where you probably don't have much interaction with people like immigrants or or have firsthand experience with the outside world or just you know my community was very insular it

was like the first time i had th food was when I moved to Chicago. I had no idea what it was. And you thought it was shitty Chinese food. I was like, what are these noodles? These noodles are weird looking. But it was like everybody was like Christian, all Christian. So like for a very long time, I was like ignorant on like Judaism and like understand, like some of my friends were like, oh, it's like this is a very Jewish holiday.

And I was like, what does that mean? know what you mean you don't believe in Jesus Christ hey look how small that fella's hat is hey come here you're gonna want to see this mom and dad they wear these little things ain't no brim on there all right we're gonna take a quick break. We'll 110, 120. She's terrified. Should we wake her up? Absolutely not. What was that? You didn't figure it out?

I think I need to hear you say it. That was live audio of a woman's nightmare. This machine is approved and everything? You're allowed to be doing this? We passed the review board a year ago. We're not hurting people. There's nothing dangerous about what you're doing. They're just dreams.

Hello, everyone. I am Lacey Lamar. And I'm Amber Ruffin, a better Lacey Lamar. Boo. Okay, everybody, we have exciting news to share. We're back with season two of the Amber and Lacey, Lacey and Amber Show on Will Ferrell's Big Money Players Network. You thought you had fun last season?

Well, you were right. And you should tune in today for new fun segments like Sister Court and listening to Lacey's steamy DMs. We've got new and exciting guests like Michael Beach. That's my husband. Daphne Spring, Daniel Thrasher, Peppermint, Morgan J. and more. You got to watch us. No, you mean you have to listen to us. I mean, you can still watch us, but you gotta listen. Like, if you're watching us, you have to tell us. Like, if you're out the window, you have to say, hey, I'm watching you outside of the window.

Just, you know what? Listen to the Amber and Lacey, Lacey and Amber show on Will Ferrell's Big Money Players Network on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. We're back. We wanted to finally cover the story of one of the good people

teaching our children doing the Lord's work down in Florida. Her name is... Diana Volotic. And she is a social studies teacher at Crystal River Middle School in Florida. And she was known online as Tiana Dalachov,

which is the pseudonymous host of a white supremacist podcast called Unapologetic, where she talked some crazy shit about race science and uh just everything anti-semitism just all the bad stuff all there uh the crazy thing was i think huffpo outed her like march 8th and her defense was uh all my comments that were quote political satire and exaggeration and the persona was was a, quote, unquote, hobby. I'm a part-time racist. Right.

I'm a hobbyist racist. I got a hobby lobby, which actually is the lobby store of racists. For racists. Yeah, exactly. And I work there. And she was also bragging, like, on her show. Like, she was like, you know, I'm a teacher. And I actually inject all this shit into my teachings and things like that.

They just don't know it. Yeah, they just don't fucking realize. The frequency. And so basically, you know, that did not sort of rub parents, the school district, the right way. And she only finally today resigned after much pressure. So we will see what happens. But it's crazy. Like, just to give you an example like the kind of shit

that they were talking about on her show there was like one episode where there's a guy on who's like I don't like racist either even though probably in the most technical sense of the word you could probably say I'm racist because I do believe that some races of people are inferior and superior in certain ways I would never say black people are you know crap people they're inferior at everything but there are certain things certain races can do better. Asians are way better at math in the aggregate than white people, and white people build cultures better than Asian people or black people, and we can view it all throughout history. So that's what her guest says, and then as a host, she responds with, I think I would align myself similarly to your sentiment there. Like, I would pretty much say, yeah, okay, if believing that certain races

specialize in certain things makes me racist, then I guess that's what I am because I do share your sentiment there. Everything you've said, like, meshes perfectly with what, you know, I'm kind of, like, thinking on the inside here. So, yes, that was a woman teaching the children. Social studies. Social studies. Wow, that is double messed up. studies. Wow. That is double messed up. She did say that, uh, as an adult, my decisions are my own. My family has nothing whatsoever to do with my social media accounts or my podcast. Okay. Leave my family out of it. But what's lurking in that family's closet? You know what I mean? A hood

from them. I humbly asked for forgiveness as it was never my intention to cause them grief while engaging in a hobby on my personal time. I mean, the kind of tweets that she deleted were like, white privilege? Prove to me that it exists. Show me statistics that prove whites benefit economically. The fact that it took you this long to get fired is proof that it exists. Well, that's because she was using her fake ass, you know, Twitter name. And then was even like, this is just to underline her shittiness as a teacher. She says, this is a tweet that was deleted.

You know, America's education system is designed to enable victimization when teachers are forced to learn about institutional racism and prove it's real when it isn't.
