Our guest today, Miss Arden Marine. Thank you. Welcome. What a joy. Hi, Miles. Hi, Lacey. Hi, Arden.

I'm super fans of both of you, and I like you both together. So I'm just going to throw that out there. I'm a fan. I mean, look, the last time the three of us were together, we fundamentally changed the Bachelor podcast landscape. if you guys haven't listened to my podcast a good way to start in and it's actually like a one-off lacy and miles because they both were not viewers of the bachelor and during the guys spoiler alert 2020 is a little different than usual right now and so they did you know the bachelor until they figured out how to

lock hairless people looking for love into a hotel in the desert and try not to give each other COVID. But so they were doing like standalone episodes of old seasons. And Miles and Lacey came and did. They were a huge hit on the book. Who did you guys break down? Who was your bachelor? I just remember we just kept talking about steve harvey oh okay and how i'm steve harvey's little secret

you're steve harvey's little secret yeah so exactly first ever bachelor that's what it is it's the first season of the bachelor oh my god that horny guy and he was so horny he had the horny he actually he was the horniest bachelor and he like and his suit reminded us of steve harvey he had a plastic sheet with like yeah he was gonna murder that girl or have sex with her we didn't know he was wearing like matrix style suits he was like that was something well anyway uh i want to do an AKA. Can I do an AKA? Yes. Oh, please. Yes. Go on. So for your listeners, a week from tomorrow, I have a book coming out. It's called Little Miss Little Compton. It's really fun.

It's funny. There's a lot of heart. It's good for this. The garbage fire that's 2020. But okay, here's my AKA about that. Okay. It's not that good. It's pretty bad.

Lower the bar of your expectations oh no no we're raising it it's getting shot through the memoir and you're too bland baby you give little miss little compton a bad name because it takes place in rhode island and rhode island likes nothing more than a classic rock station and a key your car under the water slides little compton is where you're from in rhode island huh yeah that's what's the was there what's like the the history of the town like was there a competing town called compton and like it was a diminutive thing truly apparently there was a town in it was founded in the 1600s it feels it feels like it is founded in the 1600s. Of course. It feels like it is still in the 1600s. I think there was a town in England

called Little Compton and it has a general store and no stoplights. There's no restaurants. Did you know that stealing mail is a federal crime? Did you know that? I found out when I was 17, yes.

Did you, were you stealing mail? Look, we don't, hold up. Okay. So basically somebody in our town was like stealing a lot of mail and like nobody could figure out who the culprit was. And they found out that it was, this woman had like a local pet crow, like a bird named Poe the crow that was flying around and stealing everybody's mail.

a bird named Poe the Crow that was flying around and stealing everybody's mail. And they literally like the man came in and like put the crow under house arrest. And then it became like an indoor crow. So when I tell you that this town is somewhat isolated, they'd never heard of the real Compton. Never mind the album. It wasn't until the movie Straight Outta Compton came out and like every town in America started making like straight out of Nashville shirts like straight out of Houston

all of a sudden they couldn't believe their good fortune like little Compton got so excited they couldn't believe it they had no clue that there was another Compton out there how diverse is little Compton uh well they've got lobstermen and fishermen they have white men with beards of all varieties you know what it's i would know it's not divorced at all i i would say you know it's like super white people and then a lot of like portuguese immigrants got it got it yeah and italian italian portuguese and then like super white people Yeah. And Italian, Italian, Portuguese and then like super white people. Well, Arden, we're going to get to learn about Little Compton and you as well a little bit more throughout the show.

But first, I want to tell people what we're going to talk about today. You know, Justin Bieber had a new video come out. I didn't I didn't know that he had a song. Lacey, you already knew he had the song. I didn't know anything. I saw the video and we'll talk about it because he could be the new Joel Osteen or Austin or whatever. It's a journey. It's a journey.

He's on the road to, you know, prolific profits and never ending blessings. What else? Oh, yes. Another. There's just a fun exchange that happened last week. We didn't get to touch on it. But Kaylee McEnany, the White House press secretary, it's just it looks like when that when somebody is so fed up with their job, they don't want to like talk. You'll see. It's it's something it's but it's also it's 2020. So, you know, we'll put that on the garbage fire as well.

The saga just in a quick tribute to boy watch Jen and Ben or Brad. I'm sorry. I'm Jen and brad jennifer aniston and brad pitt people still want them to fuck and people came damn close uh during a zoom table read for sean penn we'll talk about that we'll talk about another person cosplaying as black uh that's like the fun way to describe it but yes before we get into all that and scaring the living daylights out of ourselves arden what's something from your search history that's revealing about who you are? Okay. I went for, my brain, it was, what was my last thing in my search history? Yeah, that's all it is, but it is.

Okay. So I think it's also is revealing, but I literally went to see what my last thing is. And I Googled this yesterday. Where did Pete go on Below Deck Mediterranean? Where did Pete go? Where did he go? Well, cause they stopped editing him in. And so he's, he was kind of a piece of shit, like to the ladies on,

like he was, he was very disrespectful to the women. That's right. Yeah. And then I do watch below deck, man. Yeah. That's like,

just stopped. Like they didn't acknowledge, like, I'm like, is he still on the boat like literally slowly as it sees for a while you'd sort of see him in the background like hauling a rope but i it dawned on me now that we have like the new feisty dumb chef who sucks and then we have a girl that's homesick malia's. Who's real persnickety. And then we have like the homesick cutie pie that's threatening to Jess.

Where that like, it's a small boat. Like, yeah. Is he off the boat? How are they editing it? So I went deep diving apparently and it did pop up. I just had to type in where did peep. And then they literally filled in the rest. Go on below deck Mediterranean.

Google filled it in for me. So he was not only was he disgusting on the boat in persons of the ladies, but apparently on his social media history, he had a very, very sexist and racist cartoon that he had posted. So they had to like mid-season, like I think they were already not gonna air a lot of him because he was so disrespectful to captain sandy and the ladies on the boat but now he's like an extra piece of shit and so that's where they've basically they've like ghosted him but i think

they've had to completely cut once in a while you see his arm or his leg right right right yeah just get him out like a woman and there's like an arm around her, but they don't show the body. Like there's just random potty parts of his. Just like a ginger arm haired, yeah, creep just coming in. Or just like some shots you can tell they're like super pixelated because they cropped in like really tight. And it's just like we had to get, there's no way to get Pete out of that shot. I know it looks terrible, but that's what we did. I mean, you hate to see it.

I love thinking about that. Like getting cropped out of that shot. I know it looks terrible, but that's what we did. I mean, you hate to see it. I love thinking about that. Like, get a crock down on my video. Lacey, were you the one whose search history was trying to find out if Ramona Singer was Republican? Was that you? No.

But I would like to know. Is Paris Hilton a Trump supporter? I haven't seen that on my timeline. So, maybe. Who knows? I'm not holding out too much for Paris. Yes, for Ramonaona singer i went deep diving because i was listening to this she is she was at an event she was at an event at his place in

florida yes we were talking about yes um i guess if you're that rich yeah she lives in new york you know normally new yorkers at least in the city go pretty blue and also like she's on so many peels so i guess that makes sense. Yeah. Yeah. And she's on the only date in the top 1%. Like, she wouldn't go online. She's got to have that top 1%-er.

She doesn't want love. So that, again, is on brand. That tracks for that. Yes, absolutely. And with Pete from Below Deck, you know, you hate to see racism on a boat because, you know, black people had famously have great great uh had great experiences sure on boats yes so those cruise ships the cruise ships to the americas yeah uh yeah carceral cruise line uh okay so what y'all didn't do the electric slide on y'all's all y'all's they have the fun people oh shit um what is something that you think is overrated

all right i have i have two and i'm tied you can see which one sparks more of a feeling in you okay i got small small micro i went um and i don't think maybe maybe the pandemic wiped this out for everybody I would say shared plates in a restaurant like just give me my fucking meal uh and then bigger picture I think college is overrated so whichever sparks I feel like it's a lot of money I don't really feel for me personally I don't think that I learned anything that I need that I use in my, you know, because a lot of my, I think I probably, if I was safe to go out into the world at 17,

I don't know that I took anything from there. And I feel like a lot of people are really scrappy or young. Like I feel like maybe parents are just anyway. So those are my two topics, shared place in college. I mean, I think, yeah,

with college, like there's definitely no longer that pathway that you sort of got taught where you're like, yeah, you go to college and that's how you enter the middle class is by going to college. Because now it's just like, yeah, man, you want a bunch of fucking debt, bro? Yeah. Cool. Here's your degree. And then you're like, what?

And there's no job. It's so much debt. and then you're like what and there's no jobs it's so much debt and i feel like there's so much cool stuff that you know 15 year olds know how to do that they'll probably earn more money from like you know what i mean i feel like like they would be self-starters in a way i don't know that was i mean unless you're gonna be a doctor or something to me i'm like i think that what makes it overrated is that it's not worth the debt that you would go into at the moment. If you could make it easily,

then you're like, fuck yeah, man, everybody go, go get your edge of like, learn whatever the fuck you want to. But yeah, it's,

there are so many bear. It's like, there are barriers upon barriers to do it that. Yeah. Like at a certain level of people get disillusioned. Like, yeah, what is the,

the cost is. So if it was free, it'd be a whole other ballgame. And also if you go... Oh, go ahead. No, Lacey. I was going to say, you go to college to learn how to learn, basically. Like unless you're doing a specific trade, like you were saying with being a doctor or being a lawyer or something like that. You're just learning how to learn.

You read a lot of different shit. And like nowhere in there is there anything about like, hey, this is how you how you do your taxes right hey this is how you apply for a home loan like why don't we ever in any part of american education system teach people how to do the basic shit that they're gonna have to know how to do for the rest of their life of adulthood truly it is it's like taxes like this is how like just here are the forms here's how you fill this form out this is what this like, just here are the forms. Here's how you fill this form out. This is what this, like, this is the, these are the dates that you need. Here's how you balance the checkbook. All by design. All by design.

You know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah. Because I come out, I'm like, I am financially illiterate. I don't know what the fuck is going on. It took, like, you know, Her Majesty, my partner now, for me to actually, like, take a look at my shit and be like, oh, yeah, I don't know. I really don't know what the fuck I've been doing like financially like honestly i had a friend come over to my house and and i feel like a lot of people feel that way and sort of feel ashamed

and feel like they should know and that feel like other people know but they don't i feel like a lot of people don't know and i had to have a friend come over and like teach me how to build a spreadsheet and just like you know for a few years I would literally write down every single penny I spent and what it was for and everything I made just to see like how much money do you need to earn per month so you don't have debt like right and then how much extra do you have and what do you want to spend it on like or if you're going to go to state like it literally did like an intervention on a friend of mine and i don't think i i i assumed everybody else knew how to do it but i don't think many people do you know it's i wish i think i mean if you're not raised in a like household like that or like your parents are like actively teaching you about it like it can seem like a thing you'd

passively pick up because you get the logic of sort of like well you don't spend more than you make right so it's like okay and that's how about that's about how literate i was for many years i've just basically been like well you don't spend more than you make and then it's like well what am i saving and what am i like how do i do all of it uh but hey that's some adult shit as the millennials call it as i sip my wine and watch my har Potter videos. Yeah. Arden, what is something you think is underrated? Okay, I think Sean William Scott is underrated as a comedic actor.

I thought, we haven't seen him for a while. I feel like he peaked hot and early, and then, like, where'd he go? Like, he was so- Stifler from American Pie. He was Stifler from American Pie. I saw you grab your phone you said which white man that's exactly right it's from years ago but i'm like where did he go he had a moment he was stiffler and then he did the rundown with the rock like that oh yeah they were trying for a moment to

make him he was kind of like the first coming of ryan reynolds or something he was just such a dipshit and i like but he was sort of a joyful dipshit i literally i don't know i think he might have found the lord i feel like there's a chance he found the lord i i think he might have done like a kirk cameron putting a cot like a banana cot like eating a banana talking about evolution there might have been i don't know where he went but i feel that he didn't want to be silly and maybe wanted to be like a straight actor. But I feel that as a comedic performer back in the day, he was underrated. I thought I loved his part in what is the other one where they go back to college? Old school. Old school.

When he's the guy when he's the pet wrangler with the mullet and you got you got the fucking dart in your neck, man. I don't think i've seen him in something in 10 years but like i i would i every time he pops on my screen if i'm watching tv i'm like that guy's fucking underrated he's funny he was a voice in an ice age oh oh he's been in the ice age movies oh that's what happened arden he got those ice age checks he doesn even have to put pants on. Yeah, exactly. Because he was working like 97, 99, 2001. Then Ice Age hit. Ice Age. In 2006.

He got that Ice Age cast. And then they started to be a little more distance between the work. He's like, he took 2007. He's like, yeah, maybe I'll do something. I also think it's underrated to be a night owl. I feel like early birds get really smug. Early birds. Like, I think it's underrated for

people i like to stay up really late i feel like the magic happens like in the wee hours and the rest of the world is asleep and i think it's really underrated to prefer to stay up really late and sleep in in the same way but the world doesn't allow us what's what do you mean what is the magic exactly i feel like that's when i'm at my most creative. I feel like I'm sort of playful. Unless once in a blue moon, like the boogeyman will come. But like if I don't have the boogeyman, I feel like there's something about it's almost like a stolen hour, like from 11 to 3, you know, where it's not like it's noon to 5 where you feel like you should be doing something. There's something about 11 to 3 you can kind of putter around and just –

I feel like that's when I make things and I'm the most creative and I sort of like dilly-dally in a good magical way. Right, right. Lacey, you're like that? Yeah, I love to stay up late, but I hate that the world is like revolving around being up early because then it's like, okay, well, I have to work out and my trainer wants to work out in the morning. Everything has to be done in the morning.

So I can't even have as much fun as I used to at night because I have to sleep because I have to do what everyone else is doing, which is be awake during the day. And it feels like there's almost like a smugness of like, oh, I get up at six every day. I get up and I work out. There's like a smugness to the early bird. I think it's underrated to be a night owl. It's like, okay, well, I get up at 6 every day. I get up and I work out. There's like a smugness to the early bird. I think it's underrated to be a night owl. It's like, okay, well, I'm so chill. My demons don't wake me up that early.

They wake me up later in the day. Okay, I'll have you know. Yeah, the devil knows I need to sleep till 11. And then I'll get up. But strike an agreement with your inner demons to get some sleep, you know? Right. But also, it's so stigmatized to stay up late. Like, if you stay up late, then people look at you and they think you're less healthy.

They, you know, they're like, oh, the stoners stay up late. If you watch any commercial at night, it's like either to trick you or to make you feel like you're overweight. Like all the commercials at night are like, these are for you degenerates. Buy this pill. Lonely, lonely, dirty, dirty. You're about to die from couchitis, you piece of shit. Yeah. You piece of shit. The whole, everything

it ends with, you piece of shit. There's never something at night where it's like, hey, so happy about your life? Trying to become financially literate? It's always like, oh, you're suffering, aren't you? You can't even know. Living in your mother's basement, you piece of shit. Oh, look at you. You probably can't even buy this living in your mother's basement you piece of shit look at

you you probably can't look at you you probably cook eggs all sloppy because you don't have a the proper pan that's non-stick you fucking idiot it's like what i think it's underrated yeah i i i would like to stay up later i think yeah i just i i always had it in me but like when you have like a normal schedule like when my schedule of like doing this show and then like the day job and all that society prizes you know what i mean man smothering me man i feel like if school started at noon i would have gotten much better grades oh fuck yeah i was asleep half the fucking half of high school i think 90 of the battle was just appearing like my eyes were open through class for oh yeah trying just trying to prop myself

up in a way that appeared like the lids but not even much was taken in any info is giving the appearance of being upright 100 was like putting one arm in the top of the desk like kind of in an l shape and then holding the pencil up and then putting my side of my face on that arm and like pretending that I was writing. But I was like fast asleep. That's like an animatronic Lacey. I picture you in like the Hall of Presidents with your pencil up with your arms attempting. I am taking a note now. I am loving this geography.

Yeah, I got I used to I think I brought this up before. I used to you could draw like an eye on a piece of paper. Yeah. And then you would tape it to your eyelid. So then you could close both your eyes, but you would cover your one eyelid with your palm. And then with this eye, you would tape your fake eye onto your closed eye. And then it would look like your eyes were open. Did it actually look like a real?

I mean, like, how good was your drawing? Oh, yeah. I mean, it would be enough that it caused a disturbance in class. And then the teacher would get me in trouble. He will wake me up and be like, you fucking idiot. Stop distracting me with your stupid prank bullshit. I would like to see an Instagram post of you with your eyelid tape. I can try and find one.

Yeah, I can find some color pencils for sure. I like that very much. I mean, also, I think they're like to your point, Lacey, about like, you know, people working out saying we can do in the morning. Where's like the whole night owl economy? Like, shouldn't there be an entire group of professionals and like service people who are like accommodating that? You know what I mean? Like, oh, yeah, I only work. I only do nights.

I'm a night guy. I'm buff as fuck. But you will not see me in that gym before 11 p.m. I buff as fuck at 11 a.m. That's it. 11 p.m. I'm doing it. All right.

Just a thought out there for gym people. You know, just another opportunity for an income stream. And finally, Arden, what's a myth? What is something that people think is true that you know to be false? Okay. There was a myth that Marilyn Manson played Fred Savage's best friend, Paul, on The Wonder Years. Oh, that's right. And I know personally both Fred Savage and marilyn manson and that is not correct

you know marilyn i'm sorry okay i have text on him from this week he's my bud do you call marilyn manson marilyn i did when i first met him because i that's what he's like right to call him and he goes don't call me that that's lame as like but you named yourself that's you call me by my name don't call me by my you call me oh cool all right manson yeah i have okay brian he goes some we so we've had a bunch of meals at like the smokehouse and burbeck oh fuck yeah shout out to the garlic bread everybody knows legendary and he always orders the beef stroganoff but never takes a bite of it i actually so i did a movie with him and that's how we became friends he loves like comedies he's obsessed yeah he's a huge comedy like the

simpsons stuff he loves the simpsons he loves eastbound and down he loves like danny brick bride stuff so we were also working with the guy that played Stevie on East Brown and Down. It was fascinating. So, but I get invited to his birthday parties every year. And so one year, I don't know who to bring. I'm like, who do you, like, it's because it's exciting. You got to go, but it's also like terrifying. So I, you know, Guy Branum, the comedian Guy Branum. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Also a lawyer. Also a lawyer, which is great. I was like. Fascinating. Actually, I met Guy through you actually at your christmas parties that's where i first met okay he's hilarious he's been on our show once or twice he had a he had a show on true tv called talk show the game show anyway he so i was like guy do you want to go with me to marilyn manson's birthday party he was like uh yeah so we went guy So we went and it was like, it was like everybody there looked like they were dressed as Halloween costumes, like Marilyn Manson. And then he had, um, he had like a sheet cake from Ralph's, but it was like

with black icing. And then, um, but he was so sweet. He was very sweet host, but there was like a security guard and you couldn't go upstairs and guy and i were of course like what the fuck really goes upstairs what's upstairs you know he's got this beautiful house and everyone was very nice but so guy and i snuck upstairs and then we got in trouble and it turns out because we were like oh like what's gonna be up there it was his cat his cat he didn't his cat. He had a hairless cat that he didn't want to get out for the party. He's anyway, he's great.

How wholesome. But anyway, what do you got? Sex slaves up there. Your mother. What's up there? It's a cat. It's a cat.

My cat. So Marilyn Manson is not Fred Savage's best friend, Paul. Thank God. And also we found out is not, uh, loves cats too. And he loves cats.

That he hates cats that's false loves cats but it's also false i wanted to talk about richard gear and the gerbil but anna said you guys talk about that a lot oh we talk about richard you're in the gerbil i mean has any i want to know where because i like that you talk about a lot have you gotten any and like i is it true someone sent us another thing about the semen stomach pump myth too with Rod Stewart oh right um you know because they all these myths have taken on minds of their own but I think I think if anything we'll just have to do a deep dive on that later this week what did you find out from the semen like did you get any confirmation from semen semen

stomach pump uh I couldn't I you know I have my own truth that I believe in regards to that. So I wasn't sitting outside of the opinion. What's your truth for both of them? What do you believe? That it's all true. We all know it. Me too. We all know it.

We all know it's true. I feel like there's no rumor about Miles that he's had a hamster in his ass or had his. Well. Like to imagine. I mean, look, this isn't a podcast about that and to prove that i'm going to commandeer this and go to a break right now we'll be right back how do you feel about biscuits hi i'm akilah hughes and i'm so excited about my new podcast rebel spirit where i head back to my hometown in hometown in Kentucky and try to convince my high school to change their racist mascot, the Rebels, into something everyone in the South loves, the Biscuits.

I was a lady rebel. Like, what does that even mean? The Boone County Rebels will stay the Boone County Rebels. It's right here in black and white in print. A lion. An individual that came to the school saying that God sent him to talk to me about the mascot switch is a leader.

You choose hills that you want to die on. Why would we want to be the losing team? I'd just take all the other stuff out of it. Segregation academies. When civil rights said that we need to integrate public schools, these charter schools were exempt from that. Bigger than a flag or mascot.

You have to be ready for serious backlash. Listen to Rebel Spirit on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Do you ever wonder where your favorite foods come from?

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 Jay. 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 got to 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 and the rumors i don't know where they came from and i think they're absurd to be quite honest honest. But hey, to each their own. I'm so sorry to bring that up.

It's so awkward for you guys. It's fine. It's so awkward. And I spent a lot of money trying to scrub those images from the internet. Yeah. Do your darndest. Beyonce style, but. Yeah, right?

Or like A-Rod with the man boobs. I know Nike paid a lot of money to scrub those photos, too, from the internet. What? What? I don't. He had. Alex Rodriguez from his steroid use like started to grow like yeah like it just changed his chest fundamentally and the pictures weren't flattering

and i know nike there you know it happens a lot especially nike they're like if they're fucking with our one of our star marketing things like we will erase images from the internet anyway so that's a little bit a little bit of tea but let on. That's fun. I love a move. Oh, yeah. Let's get on to somebody who's really, truly a man of God, it seems, in recent months. Has come around to the light, has resurrected his career from fuck boy to praise boy. Because Justin Bieber has a new music video out called Holy featuring Chance the Rapper. So, you know, it's one of those God bops. Yeah.

And I love watching rich people cosplay as working class. Yes. I mean, the whole video. The makeup of the oil on his face. So when Wilmer Valderrama shows up as the Marine, both of them, I was like, wow, this is, it was,

that was incredible. Now, if you were an oil rig worker, would you feel seen or would you feel enraged watching the Biebs? Considering how like sort of thin his forearms are. I'd imagine any person who works with their hands on a daily basis would be like your, your body would not look like that. If you were doing. Also, I just, I'm like, are i'd imagine any person who works with their hands on a daily basis would be like your your body would not look like that if you were doing also i just i'm like is everybody who works on

an oil rig like constantly rubbing oil on their face like it's that uh he's got a wipe beautifully placed perfectly placed like all over the face so you know how you do when you work at the oil you got to rub it on your face or Or else how are they going to know? What are you working with? What are you just randomly screwing pipes in and pumping stuff? People need to know. The video, like we're saying, Justin Bieber works on an oil rig. He's got the hard hat on.

He's got the probably like even his undershirt, I bet, is designer underneath his work coveralls. But we don't have to get into that. Then that character, I believe, loses his job. It sounds like the foreman or the head of the oil rig company is sort of like, hey, in these times, man, we're cutting the fat. Unfortunately, we appreciate you. No job. Justin Bieber, you're not pulling your weight at this oil company.

Yeah, quite literally. Well, that makes sense. Him getting fired from the oil company is the only thing that made sense because it's like, yeah, that guy wouldn't work there. getting fired from the oil company is the only thing that made sense. Because it's like, yeah, that guy wouldn't work there. They're like, he can't move that wrench. And Lacey pointed out when we were watching it, Lacey, that he was just standing there just letting oil shoot. Like, not capturing it anywhere. It's just rocketing all over the place.

Like, and he's holding it, like, at his dick height. It's just, like, oils rocketing near his crotch. But as Lacey said, like, all the oils, he's not putting it anywhere yeah it was very horny it was like yeah we got this oil shooting up and it's black but it's like you ain't got a bucket for this shit just that you wasted all the oil that's why you got fired from the oil company wasteful yes okay asshole your fake your fake cum over there just cost us 600 bucks. Goddamn. No lunch break now. Yeah, he's down for the swirl.

Walter, what's his name? Victor Valderrama? Is his name Victor Valderrama? Wilmer. Victor. Victor Valderrama. I wish it was Victor Valderrama. That feels like a Mandela effect. Victor Valderrama. You know Victor Valderrama? Thatela effects victor valderrama you know victor valderrama you know that that guy uh yeah wilmer valderrama uh yeah like his cameo as the very caring yes

man in uniform coming home coming home taking him to have dinner uh also walking in like a tunnel like he and his girlfriend have been evicted from their motel so he's like get into my car you can come live with me and my family and this is very this is great i just i just want to play a little bit of uh just this track because it has i mean just i'm just in his spirit guys can't wait another second oh god run into the altar like a track star oh god wow justin bieber way to do that no cap oh god uh yes eat jesus um jesus um i have to point out that when they get evicted from their motel, it's like the seedy motel owner throws out three pieces of clothing and then he locks the door on them and puts a note on it. And it's very bizarre. It's like if you're kicking, they can't get their stuff out or like you can't throw out two pairs of pants and then everything else got to stay in the motel.

Look, you know, clearly we're dealing with creatives who are, you know, behind the visuals of this who have never worked on an oil field, who have never worked a job like that, who have never had bills to pay, who have never lived in a motel or whatever. It's always like, yeah, man, I think wouldn't that be weird if you lived in a motel and you're all poor and stuff because you lost your job on the oil rig. But then you can put that on God because you feel so holy, holy, holy. And then his girlfriend worked at the nursing home so it's like she didn't have no coins to give to the motel man yes she was at the nursing home and she was rubbing on this old man every day and like that was her friend two tuesdays with maury and then she she came in one day and they had packed up all his stuff because he died and it was like like, dang, that's a rough day. Like the car wouldn't start.

Justin got fired. The motel man kicked out three pairs of pants and closed the door on them. You're right. Why wouldn't she's got a job. She didn't lose her job. So why can't they live in the motel? Maybe that was her only patient. Or she's just like, see this motherfucker lost it see i'm not

i'm gonna i'm not paying for this this is on him now and that's on god uh you can count on that the other thing with this is he's been you know he's around hillsong you know he's around these big churches now bieber's you know he's it's becoming more and more of his brand uh to embrace the spirit which i have no problem with especially when you consider how lucrative that shit is. You might catch me with a fucking cross Ed Hardy t-shirt on. You know I'm definitely about to start a church. I'd go to your church. Because you think about...

I'll be your first congregant. Oh, fantastic. This is what we need. I'll be front pew. It'll be me and that's what we like any good scam church has like people in hollywood involved who are like remember from mad tv she's at she's at that church too uh so that's that's what we need but the like there is talking about how much money these groups actually make like you know it's such a below the radar phenomenon because it's not charting like on your typical radio stations, but on God, uh, you can make a lot of coins.

If you embrace that on God, you can put that on God and you can take that to the bank. I go to a scam church in LA. I won't say the name, but I always talk about how I go to a scam church, uh, with criminals. Um, And a weird thing that happened during pandemic is like for Easter ceremony, why the pastor get on the Zoom talking about, you know, right now we got to double down. You know, I know it's hard. I know everybody's struggling. You know, we're getting stimulus packages or whatever. But me and my wife, we're donating twice the tithes this week.

And if you can, you know, double down on the tithes so you can double down on the blessings. I know this food and I get out here and tell people to give twice their tithing during a pandemic when people don't have jobs. That is a salute. That is tone deaf.

That is tone deaf. On God. He'll start like sermons like pre-order my book in his name. Oh, shit. Use promo code 20 off for 10% off. Wait, I thought it was 20. Seriously, your listeners should pre-order my book for God. Yeah, absolutely.

Pre-order Arden's book in his name. Please. Someone who may need the soothing touch of God to heal their spirit is Kayleigh McEnany, the White House press secretary. She had, you know, last week was every every week is just getting worse and worse for people who have to try and like translate the president's bullshit into things that aren't just like absolute evil, evil fucking ideas and thoughts and words. So in this time, they're beginning a lot of back and forth about, you know, the president's been talking about this health care plan. You know, you're going into an election. There's not people are really concerned about what health care looks like. Plus, it seems like actively the administration is trying to take away people's

protective provisions and things like that. And I just want to play this kind of like a little back and forth because it was starting to get a little bit tense last week, and you hate to see it. But first, Kayleigh McEnany is sort of pushing off on this idea where a journalist is simply quoting the president and asking, like, what do these words mean? Because to us, the dictionary definition of these words would be alarming. But since we're giving you an opportunity to obscure the president's words, why don't you tell us? And this is where it kind of starts getting a little tense. A bunch of you are very keen on doing selective editing of the president's quotes and not referring to the second half directly under that statement.

He talked about a waiter touching the mask and touching a plate and that being an unintended effect of wearing a mask. That is an example of a mask not being used appropriately. You just don't think masks are good. And he described the exact scenario in which a mask could have an unintended consequence if not used appropriately. And we can send you the clip. We'll put it up on Twitter for you. No, no, shit. It's okay. I just wanted to see if there's any medical experts who have said that.

And they have. And I just read Dr. Fauci's quote. So go ahead. Yeah. Okay. So that was all talking about the president being like yeah masks are good actually nah they're bad because and this was a terrible example like what if a guy's he's at a restaurant and then he he touches the mask and then he has to touch your food and then now the

germs from the mask are on the food and then therefore that's why masks are bad so that's why they shouldn't be used like well what and so getting clarification like that's but that's what he's saying was an unintended consequence of wearing right okay it's getting confusing so that's sort of the energy in the room then this journalist has the audacity to ask what's going on with the president's health care plan when can we see that which seems like a very easy question not it's not a cheap shot to say, like, the president's been talking about a health plan. It doesn't even have a, there's no judgment even in that question. It's just, what is it?

When can we see it? There's no good or bad. It's just a question. Information. Imagine getting tripped up on, like, hey, so the president, is he doing his job? How dare you? How dare you? How dare you? You're talking to me like a piece of shit that's up

till three in the morning how dare you oh my god here take this colloidal silver and call me in the morning okay listen so this is the response when you're talking about just generally what's up with this health care plan he's talking about i'm not going to give you a readout of what our health care plan looks like and who's working on it if If you want to know, if you want to know, come work here at the White House. Oh, yes. Stakeholders here in the White House. And as I told your domestic policy council and others in the White House are working on a health care plan. President's vision for the next five years.

Yes. And if you want more, come join us here. Oh, OK. So I can just get a job at the White House. Yeah, that's literally like how what the fuck kind of response is that oh you want to know come to work here then asshole it's like okay great how do i make that happen i'd love to come just come work at the white house what a way to just skirt your responsibilities where you know i mean like it's what that's my answer is well if

you want to know that's a secret and you should work here. Otherwise, just believe what I say. End of story. That's just it's a very fresh way. You know, that's what I will say about these Republicans is they keep the lies spicy. You know, their food may not have flavor, but their lies. Mommy, baby. I've never seen people throw people off the scent like that.

She was like, what's the health care plan? She was like, it's birds outside. Anyways, next question. Oh, are you a mind reader now? I don't think so, Jean Grey. Next question. Anyways, Miss Cleo. Anyway, everybody got health.

All right, everybody got health. Anyway. Oh, my God. How much would you pay to watch her refer to a reporter as miss cleo i have a feel i mean i don't think we're too far off based on how upside down shit has been so i'm like what was your house like growing up like what are you like who are you how did you like there was a lot of not pushing back on people's bullshit probably i just feel like anybody should have that job now like i could

do that job it's not like i'm gonna tell the truth no if you were you would crush it you would bring the end of the you'd bring the end of the fucking country if you were the white house press secretary you would nail it a black woman as sharp as you are to like to i don't know that's my worst nightmare is someone who is me being the white. But like, you're intelligent enough though, too, that you're not just going to be like, why don't you work here? You know what I mean?

That's not that, you know, that's a, that's a shitty clap back. You'll know how to be like, no, I don't even want to think about that. I would try to be smart.

Cause that's what I love about the job. It seems like you don't have to really say anything anymore. And I find that fun. So I would love to be like, if you want to know about our healthcare policy, then why don't you work in say anything anymore and i find that fun so i would love to be like if you want to know about our health care policy then why don't you work in health care you know i mean you're attacking the president anyways uh what was i saying oh i'm like so freaked out by the thought of lacy being trump's press secretary oh my god it's the upside down it's not i'm like what and you would be like plus honey i can smell your mask from up here um next oh my god i just insult everybody everybody yeah exactly like i don't why hasn't

he gotten corona why hasn't he gotten covid yet i don't get it he's evil i talk about that all the time like i'm gonna turn evil when i turn like 45 so i can live a long time because when you're not an evil person you have empathy empathy. Empathy is a killer. It's a silent killer. Stressing, thinking about other people, caring. That's a killer. But if you're evil, you sleep good at night. Now you're the killer. You know what I mean?

You're the killer. People have been tongue-kissing Trump with corona and he has not caught it. Okay. Okay. I accept that. Well, let's move on to some good news rather than trying to envision a future in which fucking Lacey Mosley is Sarah Huckabee Sanders bringing down the end of the earth. It's honestly like anyone with who has improv skills would crush it up there. If you have just a general ability to talk policy plus improv.

I mean, look what they should do. Lacey, we should go up there and be like look gop cut me and lacy the fucking bag right now uh because we could wrap this whole election up and then i will use that money to flee and bleach my skin and reconstruct the surgery because i've sold out all my people okay so let's talk about some good news for people who want to have brad pitt and jennifer aniston have sex okay yes they had a charity table read of fast times at ridgemont high to help benefit sean penn's like i don't know whatever next trip trip to meet a drug lord or some shit or some charity that sean penn is working with but the real main event aside from all of that

like it was star studded like we're talking you know julia ro Roberts and like Morgan Freeman was reading the narration and Shia LaBeouf came out of the shadows to be Spicoli. So it was a whole vibe. But the main event. Sean Penn didn't do Spicoli? Hey, come on. He's just. He doesn't seem like he's got that much of a sense of humor. But OK.

Yeah, I feel like in the if it were like a Zoom like call that people were paying to watch like his tile would just be him like chain smoking a cigarette just kind of okay okay all right so the part that got everybody was they were the specifically that jennifer aniston was playing linda the phoebe kate's character and then brad pitt was playing um brad ironically judge reinhold's character who we all know was jerking off in the bathroom when phoebe kate's come out comes out of the pool so they say phoebe case was the hottest thing that had ever hit cinema at that i mean she was oh yeah i mean i'm i'm old enough to remember i mean not the movie coming out but in the 80s being obsessed with phoebe kate's and then wasn't she married to christopher chris klein she's kevin klein i mean kevin klein yeah kevin klein no i didn't watch it

when it came out but like as a teenager everybody had like a fucking vhs or dvd of it and was just like she was it that red bathing suit iconic she was so hot so they so this is what this is how tmz describes it the exes everyone wants to reunite actually did together Thursday on the table read. Oh, so it all happened on Facebook. With Jen reading the Phoebe Cates role of Linda Barrett and Brad played Judge Reinhold's character Brad Hamilton. And the best scene that has everyone talking is that sexy pool masturbation scene. You know? Knock, people!

And then it says you could cut the sexual tension with a knife as Morgan Freeman, of all people, narrated the scene describing leading up to some heavy flirting between Jen and Brad's characters. I can't imagine what it sounds like hearing. I don't even know what the script, how that reads, like what the direction, how the direction reads in that script. But we've seen the film. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

I don't, I guess watching morgan for you and be like yeah brad pitt's uh low-key jacking off right now he's like got real meta they're like i think brad pitt is jacking off right now right now right now i love that joke that was floating around in the beginning of quarantine. The one where it was like the guy is on a Zoom call with work people. And he's like, actually, I'm not on this project. Do you guys mind if I hop off? And they're like, yeah, that's fine.

And then he doesn't turn his Zoom off because you don't have to hit leave twice. So then he gets some lotion and is about to start jacking off. And everyone on the call is like, no, please. No, we can't. Yes. Yes. You're saying that's a joke video, though? It is. It start jacking off. And everyone on the call is like, no, please. No, we can't. Yes, yes, yes. You're saying that's a joke video, though? It is. It's a joke video.

But people thought it was real for a while because everyone's acting so well in it. They're like, is he doing what we think? Hey, somebody text him. Oh, my God. That's so good. Man. Oh, my God.

That's, ugh. Because that was a genre of viral video like in April and and oh i know when you look at the different phases of the quarantine of like in the beginning when everybody's having like zoom parties and like cocktail i was like that fucking nobody we've zoom calls gone wrong yeah it's all gone a whole other i do know i remember last year i think around the golden globes i think jennifer the Golden Globe. And then there was like a photo of her running into Brad at a party. And there was like, she was looking real hot.

And then every people, people were have been, people were so happy for a sitcom star to bag Brad Pitt and then to have her like have him taken away by you know the sexiest woman on earth that no no woman could compete with at the time to have angelina swoop in mr mrs smith style like a praying mantis and just like get him yeah and i think it just broke everybody's heart broke for little jen aniston and uh and now that he's a free man like he's available again i never thought of the dynamics of her being a tv person yeah and getting he's available again. I never thought of the dynamics of her being a TV person and getting Brad Pitt.

I always just thought of it because everyone was sort of like, yeah, Jennifer Aniston's hot. But yeah, that added dynamic of like, that's a vertical move. They were both blonde. Yeah. Like he's on TV.

But like here comes Angelina who's had like Billy Bob's blood in a vial around her neck and was like tongue kissing her brother. Like if if some and she's hot, you know, and she's smart and talented. So it's like somebody's got boner fever for her. Nobody can compete with that. It just felt like the American pie like relationship where everyone was like, look at these two quintessential white people.

And, you know, they're beautiful white love. two quintessential white people. And you know, their beautiful white love. And then this like mysterious, ethnicky cosplay white woman comes in and everyone's like, no! We don't like that! I'm comfortable by this.

She looks like Maleficent quite literally. Keep it apple pie! Keep it PG! Before we move on to our review and take a break break i just want to touch on the latest in uh pseudo nubian queens uh that are out here perpetrating um you know performative blackness in academia i guess it just has been so in recently uh with uh professor krug and now we have a graduate student by the name of cv vitolo haddad who

a graduate student at the university of wisconsin madison and throughout their time on campus uh cv apparently would talk about their latinx heritage or having like a afro-cuban grandparent uh and at times use the words light skin to describe themselves which if you say that around black people would say oh you okay you were black you're saying you were black you're saying like you were a light-skinned black person um so uh a fellow colleague at school was kind of scratching their head because they were always a little bit suspicious they're like i don't know what it is whether it's the things like when they said their hedges were laid or that they were they said i am fitting to have a burger or saying it is a lot of white people in here no hat uh that something just

didn't doesn't this didn't feel right um and i'm joking about those other things but this person wrote a post on medium which as we all know is the central repository for all truths for millennials and younger. If you don't have a Medium post, it didn't happen. And this student, fellow student wrote, or colleague of theirs wrote, For years, I have doubted my intuition, questioned whether anyone would believe me and rationalize that CV might, despite all of the inconsistencies in their story, somehow be telling the truth. Race, after all, is slippery and racialization is not just about what is immediately visible,

a fact I now believe cv has taken advantage of as they slide themselves further into spaces of black identity and political organizing that do not belong to them and this apparently set off alarm bells for tricky menage and they decided to post their own sort of terrible apology on medium because it's like once this post came out, people were being like, whoa, someone said it. All right, what's going on? Their first attempt was not great,

saying, to my dear friends and loved ones and organizing comrades, I'm so deeply sorry for the ways you are hurting right now because of me. You have expressed confusion, shock, betrayal, anger, and mistrust. All of those things are a consequence of how I have navigated our relationships and the spaces we share.

I have let guesses about my ancestry become answers I wanted but couldn't prove. I have let people make assumptions when I should have corrected them. So in this first one, not much of an apology there, or at least describing what the transgression was. It's just sort of like, ah, let y'all down. Right.

Yeah. In the words of joe biden you ain't black yeah oh my god that that oh my god that put that on twitter please you ain't black uh what don't yes that's true uh cb is not black then they posted a second apology which was like started off with a note being saying like, my parents are like giving me conflicting stories. Like, look, it was wrong for me to like infiltrate black organizing spaces this time articulating things more, but still like had this caveat of like my parents were like not being straight up. But the shot of King pivot saying I am basically Sicilian, southern Italian. That much was no. So, so yeah shout out to cv but again uh yeah i don't what is going on in all these schools like what what was what what is

what's going on i i don't know i mean it's funny in the root was writing this up uh forget who wrote the article but they're and the like sort of the last line was like, I just don't understand. Don't these people realize it's easier to be white? What are you doing? Why? What's the point? I think that especially because they're all lighter skin, fake black people, there is sometimes this unique and specialness that comes with that. If you were just a basic white person and now you're a light skinnedinned black person like then you're like oh you know what i mean we've we've put so many beauty standards on that i mean kim kardashian literally paints herself to look

the same shade as her children like on a daily basis so being a light-skinned black person is now this like coveted cool thing that everyone's kind of doing weird, like, blackface for on the internet. So I could see why you think, like, oh, I'm spicy now. Right, right, right. Yes. And you still get privileged because your skin is fair. Right.

I mean, really, in the dark truth of the matter, a lot of light-skinned black people were a product of rapes, too. Right. And, like, that's the the real that's the darker history of that i mean even in my own family going back a few generations on like my grandmother's side of being more light-skinned that is a product of assault from reconstruction uh so yeah all that to say uh you tried and like uh hopefully these people well you will see the light and realize there's no benefit to this.

Except you have to make an apology and look really stupid. You can just be an ally. You know, that also works, too. In fact, you'd be a stronger ally if you used your whiteness to help people of color. OK, so let's take a quick break and then we'll be right back. Hello, everyone. I am Lacey Lamar. And I'm Amber Ruffin, a am Lacey Lamar. And I'm Amber Ruffin, a better Lacey Lamar.

How do you feel about biscuits? Hi, I'm Akilah Hughes, and I'm so excited about my new podcast, Rebel Spirit, where I head back to my hometown in Kentucky and try to convince my high school to change their racist mascot, the Rebels, into something everyone in the South loves, the biscuits. I was a lady rebel. Like, what does that even mean?

The Boone County Rebels will stay the Boone County Rebels with the image of... It's right here in black and white and prints. They lion. An individual that came to the school saying that God sent him to talk to me about the mascot switch is a leader. You choose hills that you want to die on. Why would we want to be the losing team? I just take all the other stuff out of it. Segregation academies, when civil rights said that we need to integrate public schools, these charter schools were exempt from that. Bigger than a flag or mascot. You have to be ready for serious backlash.

And we're back and it's time to do a quick old netflix review roundup thing a mean thing we looked at what was trending last week the social dilemma is what we landed on uh and this it's like a docu drama because you know there's a little bit of reenactment involved what's that actor's name who was in it i was like oh that that's somebody that kid that kid yeah what's his name he was in righteous gemstones oh yeah that's right he's the son he was in something else recently he's sort of like the new teen that's in there he's the my boy energy yeah he's got that big my boy

energy i bet he's like 28 i bet he's not a teen no his voice is way too come up i'm gonna look up righteous gemstones while you're chatting because he's been in something else recently i'm like yeah i was like oh that kid oh and we were just talking about a tweet he was into i'm like that's why he's so front of mind so this documentary is like going into essentially just talking about social media the effect it's had the evolution from skylar gisondo. That's who it is. We just got it from Tana, producer Tana, to use some lingo from. Thanks, Tana. Thank you, Tana.

How old is Skylar? I hope he's 35. How old is Skylar Sigonis? I'm guessing 27. Okay. I miss when in high school movies, everybody was 39. Like, I remember in that teen movie.

Oh, he was born in 96 okay so he's 24 okay but see he's grown yeah yeah i missed that there was a movie she's all that where everybody in that movie was old as hell paul paul wall paul walker paul walker god paul wall paul walker had a baby in that movie and his baby will come to set. And they were like, we love playing with his baby. I was like, these are grown ass adults. Oh yeah.

He was in book smart. And then he was in a Santa Clarita diet. He's just the, he's just the it guy right now. Netflix is a love in him. Netflix loves him. So this whole thing, you know,

with, I will say this, you should watch this documentary. Yeah. Because what it does is like, you know, we talk about a lot of these themes constantly on the show of like the idea I will say this. You should watch this documentary. Yeah, it's interesting. Because what it does is like, we talk about a lot of these themes constantly on the show, like the idea of surveillance capitalism

and how like the entire business model of tech companies is just to get you to stay on their apps as long as possible to serve you these ads. And you are the product. If the thing you're using is free, then you are the product, et cetera, et cetera. But they do a really compelling job to have you hear all of these things from the mouths of the people that have been working on this technology, like from the beginning to basically be a warning sign to say, like, y'all, it is it's actually as dark as you think it is. In fact, I'm going to tell you how dark it is and how intentional everything is about the social media you use and how ads are served to you, how content is served to you, how everything is built on just getting you stuck on these apps and the unintended consequences,

or sometimes very intended consequences. Hearing one of the computer programmers say that he had to write a code to wean himself off of the social media apps was very fascinating to me. I didn't realize like how addictive it all is. And it's a different, we don't think about how it's an addiction. When they, when they were talking about also like how like the suicide rates, like of young girls from like 10 to 14 has gone up by like 180 percent yeah it's 2011 i mean and to see what that all coincides with right like that's when many social media things just became standard on smartphones yeah and computing power got to even more exponentially powerful in that region they're talking about there's a great example where the person's saying like you know cars aren't going

7 000 times faster than they used to like you know cars aren't going 7 000 times faster than they used to like you know now like yeah maybe you go twice as fast or something even then you're not gonna fuck around this is so fast like what's the point but our computers your computing speeds have gone beyond that and the real the the problem too is our brains have never been built for the amount of information a lot of these platforms are serving us. And the stimuli that we get is having really bad consequences, like the polarization in our politics or the ability with misinformation, how a lot of people say, we assume that we're all looking at the same news.

That we're like, how the fuck could you believe the earth? Without realizing, no, no, no. Facebook is figuring out, oh, well, you like this stuff stuff we're just going to give you this other diet of media because that's going to keep you engaged without any thought going into what that means for the fabric of society i was even surprised when they were talking about how like and if you if you type in a google search and it says like climate change is and that there's like 40 or 50 different things that will pop up as the first thing, depending on where you live in the country and what they think. So some of them would say like climate change is like a real threat and a product of some

of like, I might say climate change is a hoax or climate like, like that literally there's all these different things they showed and they know exactly where you live and what, and it just reinforces what you might already lean towards yeah it was so scary because that's the product that you know this is and this is what's really interesting is that the product that these platforms provide like yes we think we're connecting but really uh as i believe it was a shout out to dr shoshana zuboff's hair first oh my god oh do i need to do my hair like that do i need to do my hair like that i mean that oh my god i was like it was stunning so much body

to it unbelievable yeah oh yeah you got body art you got body art oh shit i got a lot of hair i'm a damn i got a shit i could get that going get a dr shoshana zuboff uh the author of surveillance capitalism there you go make this happen for myself and it's like teasing it out right now on the call it's fully almost like it's so like damn you just turned yourself into a fucking main in two seconds oh yeah i could get that could get that happening.
